On 15 August 1835 in a tiny river town on the western banks of the Missississippi, right where it bends, was born Charles Jefferson Vavasseur, the first born son of 15 year old Aimée. The town was Convent, in St. James Parish.
Jeff and Aimée were slaves of Jeff's father, Jean Vavasseur, a Brick Kiln maker, native of Capbreton, Landes, France.
Jean's sheer place of birth landed him prestige and respect among Louisiana Creoles. He married Mary Linders, a young widow with 4 children, but an heiress to a history of privilege, respect and money, for her grandfather, Johan Linder, a Swiss-born Royalist to the British Crown rose to the ranks of Commandant of territories in the Carolinas and later near Mobile in the Tensaw Community. He died owning over 40 slaves, one, Marguerite, the great-grandmother of Jeff (Aimée's maternal grandmother).
Jean and Mary seemed to live modestly, though.
Jean, who arrived the year he married Mary, 1810, firstly began acquiring property along the banks of the Mississippi, not far from the Convent of St. Michel and the parish church (St-Michel-de-Cantrel).
They lived in the wood structure built by James McAlpine, the first husband of Mary and added land to that hold which Mary brought to their marriage.
The entire slave holding numbered no more than 14, at that time, and 2/3 of them were the same family: Marguerite, her 8 or 9 children and grandchildren. They consisted of domestic servants, skilled laborers and field hands.
In 1831, Jean began selling tracks of his land, closest to the River, to the Directors of Jefferson College. Jeff's namesake comes from here. The College was for the education of the sons of wealthy Louisiana planters and existed until after the Civil War. The entire structure remains today, however was purchased by the Jesuit brothers as is used as a private retreat, known as the Manresa Retreat.
Jeff's half-siblings, the children of Jean and Mary, all married into well-to-do families, some local, some foreign. Célestine, the baby girl, married, after the death of her first husband (Adam Rhul), the brother of Louisiana governor Alexandre Mouton, Jean Baptiste Sosthène Mouton. A daughter of Célestine and Adam married Sosthène's nephew and Célestine's niece, Athénaïse Vavasseur, married another nephew of Sosthène's.
Meanwhile, Aimée was busy. She had become the wife of a newcomer, Jean-Baptiste-Valentin DAVIS. She bore him 5 children (Marie in 1839, Justilien in 1841, Alexis in 1843, Justine Marie in 1845, and Marie Victorine in 1848). She then separated from Jean-Baptiste-Valentin and bore one child (Jean-Baptiste Pierre) for a French-born neighbor, Pierre Lescoteaux in 1852 and 3 daughters (Louisa, Geneviève and Marie Bertilde) for Alsatian newcomer, and her future husband, Joseph Exhart "Gérard" Hartmann in 1854, 1862 and 1864. Aimée and Gérard married civilly and parochially on 26 May 1874 in Convent.
In around 1851, Jean Vavasseur died intestate and inventoried among his community assets were all slaves, including 15 year old Jefferson.
Seven years later, on 15 Feb 1858, Charles Jefferson, homme de couleur libre (free man of color) married Anne, femme de couleur libre (free woman of color), a daughter of Élisabeth Tureaud, also a femme de couleur libre. Jefferson signs his name to the nuptial documents. Fresh out of bondage and completely literate?
On Christmas Day in 1859, Mary Linder died intestate. Inventoried was Jeff's entire maternal family, including his siblings, aunts, cousins, grandmother, great-uncles and great-aunts. It was a fight, too. Mary's assets included property acquired from her first marriage with James McAlpine and her 4 children with James (James, John, Eugénie and Elizabeth) were the first to petition the court to be named executors of their mother's estate. The slaves were adjudicated to each of the heirs, Célestine Vavasseur Mouton acquiring Bertilde (Aimée's first cousin) and her children (Léocadie, Joseph, Rose Marie and François), Aimée and her children to the heirs of Joseph Mathieu Vavasseur, who had died previously.
In 1860, 25 year old Jefferson appears as a Merchant Tailor in the decennial census and is living with his wife, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law, Eugène Tureaud.
The Civil War was right around the corner and before that took place, Anne Lanoux, Jeff's wife, died, very young. Alexis, Jeff's brother, joined the United States Army for the cause of the Union (service for which his wife, Louise Mathée Riley, received a pension after his death in 1917).
On 2 May 1864, just after the war officially ended, Jefferson remarried in St. Martinville, St. Martin Parish, Louisiana, 16 year old Joséphine Rochon, born free on 27 May 1847 to a long history of veterans and Gens de couleur libres (Free People of Color) from Mobile, New Orleans and The Attakapas. Her parents were Jean Stéril Narcisse Rochon and Élisabeth Charlotte Castillo.
From 1864 until 1896, Jeff and Joséphine didn't miss a beat in the baby-making business, for they produced a fairly large family for city dwellers:
- Marie Idéa (21 Mar 1865) m. 5 Nov 1884 François Dasincourt Chrétien
- Marie Élisabeth Rosa (5 Nov 1866) m. 7 Jan 1894 Joseph Gustave Journée/Journet
- Marie Aimée Oscalie (May 1869) m. 20 Dec 1892 Thaddeus Ashford
- Joseph Abraham (27 Oct 1871) m. 27 Dec 1894 Octavie Mora
- Joseph Charles Léotore (15 Mar 1873) m. (1) 19 Feb 1894 Marie-Antoinette Dupré (2) 7 Dec 1907 Régina Lemelle
- Joseph Victor Walter (21 Feb 1877)
- Marie May (29 May 1879) m. 29 Oct 1906 Jean Télesmar Landry
- Joseph Victor (26 Sept 1881) m. 4 May 1908 Marie-Rose Pratt
- Joseph Edmond (Sept 1883) m. 13 Apr 1908 Rosalie Frilot
- Marie Mercedès (May 1886) m. 25 Apr 1906 Louis Ignace Wiltz
- Joseph Benjamin (9 Nov 1888) m. (1) 7 Feb 1925 Anne Thibodeaux (2) 28 May 1946 Beulah Reese Johnson
- Marie Hilda (4 Oct 1890) m. (1) David Barton, (2) Benjamin Décuir
- Marie Jeanne Gladys (27 Dec 1894). m. 16 Jul 1917 Joseph Ignace Journet
While Joséphine and the girls were caring for the kids at home, Jeff and his sons were busy making the community a better place.
Family lure has it that Jeff temporarily replaced his brother-in-law, Victor Narcisse Rochon, in the Louisiana Senate,in 1872, during a convalescent period for Rochon. For certain, Victor Narcisse Rochon was nominated twice to the Louisiana Senate, representing St. Martin Parish and was instrumental in having a bill passed for (tsk! tsk!) universal education for St. Martin Parish children. Valerie Jarrett, a Senior Adviser on Public Information and Intergovernmental Affairs to U.S. President Barack Obama, is a great-granddaughter of Victor Rochon.
On 22 Jul 1877, Jeff petitioned the Clerk of Court of Lafayette Parish for the tutorship of Louise Mouton, the daughter of Jeff's first cousin, Léocadie (his aunt Bertilde's daughter), who had just died. Louise lived with the Vavasseurs until 1888, when she married Jean Navarre in Lafayette at the Cathedral of St. John in the same year.
Jeff founded the Société de Francs Amis benevolent society, known as The True Friends Association in 1875. He was unanimously nominated as President and remained so for 35 years.
On the 14th day of May in the year 1887, Joseph Victor Vavasseur was among 17 others from St. Martinville who founded the St. Martinville Volunteer Fire Company Nº 2. Victor was then 7 years old, testament that Jeff and Joséphine reared them from birth for community activism.
All 13 surviving children were formally educated. Each of them played a classical musical instrument (my great-grandmother, Marie May, sang, played piano and taught music). The sons, daughters and in-laws of Jeff and Joséphine were Educators, Blacksmiths, Carpenters and Musicians.
By the turn of the 20th century, the Vavasseurs had grown into a large family, 13 children and already a dozen grandchildren and they continued to serve their community in benevolent ways.
Between 1900 and 1910, health claimed the lives of half of the original Vavasseurs. Walter, Oscalie, Victor, Edmond, Joséphine and Jefferson all perished.
The passing of Joséphine Rochon in 1909, and Jeff Vavasseur in 1910, struck the entire community. Both were offered front-page obituaries in the local newspaper, the St. Martinville Weekly Messenger, a gesture not even offered, at that time, for the most prominent members of the village and parish.

I don't understand, if I chop my pieces up, how will I still get the same size pieces in the cake? Are not traditional fruit cake with pieces of fruit that are the same size pieces as I will get with chopping?
You'll get the same size pieces in your cake, and they have a bit of a tendency to clump together. I found the fig pieces were magnets for other pieces of fruit. So, it depends on what you would like in your finished product.
The recipe calls for 100 grams of chocolate. My personal taste would be to add more. The chocolate flavor of the cake, as written, is quite subtle. I have yet to try adding a chocolate sauce, but intend to.
I'm ageing it and found that I liked the two week old piece better than younger pieces.
I am going with adding more chocolate, maybe even some Godiva liquor, and we'll see how it all works out come Xmas.

Last night we ate at this amazing place in Harlem, a small town near the airport of Amsterdam. Its a fuze of foods from all over the world, and the decoration shows it! Service was a bit slow, but only because there was tons of people there, so make reservations! For a starter I had the scallop shashimi, which was an amazing mix of scallops, caviar, herbs and ginger. My main was lamb shank, a very tender deal and I finished it up with a Pina Collada dessert! Must go!

Key Concepts in Instruction
School Library Monthly/Volume XXIX, Number 1/September-October 2012
by Joyce Kasman Valenza
Joyce Kasman Valenza, Ph.D., is a teacher librarian at Springfield Township High School in Erdenheim, PA. Email: email@example.com
The Internet firehose analogy rings even truer today, twenty years after Internet access saw its beginning. Each of us is now not only a consumer but also a potential media producer, and it is easy to be drenched.
Human Filters Help
Digital curators can prevent oversaturation by filtering and diverting the onslaught and by directing what is worth sharing into more gentle and continuous streams.
Blogger, author, and NYU professor Clay Shirky, in Steve Rosebaum's Mashable post, "Why Content Curation Is Here to Stay" on May 10, 2010, describes the problem with traditional search and identifies the issue of filter failure:
Curation comes up when search stops working. [But it's more than a human-powered filter.] Curation comes up when people realize that it isn't just about information seeking, it's also about synchronizing a community. [Part of the reason that human curation is so critical is simply the vast number of people who are now making and sharing media.] Everyone is a media outlet. The point of everyone being a media outlet is really not at all complicated. It just means that we can all put things out in the public view now (Shirky in http://mashable.com/2010/05/03/content-curation-creation/).
Human filters make a difference. Librarians can be filters in the best sense of the word. Librarians can synchronize communities.
Curators make sense of the vast amounts of content that are continually produced. They are talented at scouting, identifying relevance, evaluating, classifying, organizing, and presenting aggregated content for a targeted audience. They create what Allen Weiner calls""informed playlists" (http://curationchronicles.magnify.net/video/Clay-Shirky-6#c=M5ZX2G2S2CH2LNGS&t=Allen%20Weiner%20defines%20curation).
Perhaps Albert Barnes was the ultimate curator for the pre-digital world. His suburban Philadelphia art collection and educational facility was unlike any other. Barnes was known for his visionary scouting, and for his careful selection of art work before the world discovered it as great. Known for his thoughtful juxtaposition of paintings, Barnes created wall ensembles for his students. One section of a gallery wall might contain works of different styles, periods, and from different parts of the world. They were gathered strategically so they might be contextualized, compared, and studied. His goal was for these wall ensembles, these highly curated works, to inspire learning.
Why Must School Librarians Curate?
Librarians are uniquely qualified to curate. School librarians are perhaps most ripe for this function, because they understand the curriculum and the specific needs and interests of their own communities of teachers, administrators, learners, and parents.
We school librarians are used to critically evaluating, selecting, and sharing content and tools for learning. We are used to taming information flow to facilitate discovery and knowledge building.
We currently have opportunities and tools we have never had before to organize attractive digital collections. We can now present multiple perspectives to add value to the individual items by presenting them in a new context, to collaboratively create wall ensembles for learners, and to help learners do the curating themselves.
As school librarians we can think of digital collection curation as the selection and assembly of a focused group of resources into a Web-based presentation that meets an identified purpose or need and has meaning and context for a targeted audience.
Unlike other Web curators, librarians are not simple one-interest enthusiasts. For us, those identified purposes include supporting teachers in their graduate level research, guiding an AP U.S. history class through finding relevant primary sources for document based questions (DBQs), leading a third grade class through their inquiry project about insects, leading the entire community in identifying copyright-friendly media or digital storytelling options, teaching middle school students how to develop an argument or how to document sources in MLA format. Those resources might include traditional library resources as well as links, instruction, artifacts, widgets, media feeds, news streams, specialized search tools, personal commentary, handouts, rubrics, mindmapping and outlining tools, and so much more! And as for those traditional resources, curation offers a face-out shelving approach for books, databases, reference eBooks and their widgets, as well as the potential to focus, scale, and maximize our use and investment in these resources.
It used to be that library catalogs functioned as the sole entry point to our collections. While some of us have done a fine job expanding the circ/cat for a new understanding of collection, for many the catalog is becoming one element of our larger collection. To manage the new possibilities for collection, a variety of curation solutions are needed with the choice of one entry point. Most likely, one platform will need to be chosen as a parking lot—it may be the library catalog, a wiki, Google Sites, or LibGuides—and it is possible to put a variety of other curation efforts in these spaces using links or embedded code. With aggregation, they will all play nice together.
Libraries are about facilitating physical and intellectual access to information and learning. Curation is an opportunity for librarians to scale out their practice, to reach community members 24/7 at the point of need, to maximize the use of digital purchases, and to point to our value as a teacher. At a time when some school librarians are expected to travel among multiple schools, curation may be a way to scale our practice and be effective if it isn't possible to be physically present. Curation allows us to represent the presence of an information professional.
We need curators more than ever as we connect complex text to the Common Core State Standards, and as we maximize the potential of emerging curation platforms and eBook building tools like Apple's iBooks Author App (http://www.apple.com/ibooks-author/).
Why and What Are We Curating?
Curation of current digital resources (e.g., podcasts, slidecasts, infographics, blogs, presentations, twitter streams, ebooks, etc.) can facilitate the discovery of valuable Web content and can also promote and lead users back to valuable print materials. Using tools like the embeddable previews in Google Books is a way to share content from print and eBook collections. Curation can also be used as a strategy for building a reading culture. In the past we might have called this face-out shelving.
School librarians can curate for faculty and administrators—for educators who are seeking to inform and improve their practice—as well as for those currently in graduate school who will benefit from the gathering of educational journals, databases, and blogs.
Educators will also value help in gathering the tools they need for daily classroom activities. School librarians can gather lesson and rubric portals, nonfiction and documentary films, booktrailers, tools for regular classroom routines—online stop watches, classroom clipart, poster tools, game and quiz generators, etc.
School librarians might also curate for parents by gathering resources to support learning at home, explanations of new technologies, and instruction in transliteracy.
For student learning activities and interests, school librarians may collect and embed faculty relevant instruction, personal learning materials, and student work. These learning artifacts can function as lasting tools for instruction as well as models for future learners.
Curating as a Life and Student Skill
Curation is not just about academic research. It's not just for librarians. Curation is an information life skill. It is also a buzz topic for the marketing and business worlds.
Curation skills allow learners to create personal learning environments (PLEs) for organizing content to meet both their academic and personal information needs, gathering tools for productivity and creativity, sharing their knowledge with others, and creating portfolios of their own work. PLEs are essential tools for networked learners.
Much of what students now need is dynamic and feedy and cloud-based. A notebook can no longer hold this stuff. We can guide students through the process of setting up parking lots for the development of archiving the inquiry process using wikis and Google Sites. David Loertscher refers to this as Knowledge Building Centers (https://sites.google.com/site/knowledgebuildingcenter). We can also introduce curation tools as an option for real-time research. Students can now curate the content they need to feed their interests and passions, as well as their research projects. They can easily create and manage newspapers for current awareness—for their interests and passions, as well as school research.
Curation, however, is not just for the school setting. Over the course of a few years, I have helped a friend find research for the brain tumor community. At her funeral this past summer, I met a gentleman who told me he was also helping the community. His information on brain tumors continues to feed relevant, timely, life-and-death content to a community in need (http://paper.li/WorldMedCard/1306973026).
Curation as the New Search
Curation tools present an exciting new genre of search tool. Searchers can now exploit the curated efforts or the bibliographies of experts and others who take the lead in a particular subject area—those who volunteer to scan the real-time environment as scouts. They also present the opportunity to guide learners in new evaluation strategies. Who is the curator? Which curators can you trust? Is a curator attached to a team, publication, institution, organization? How can the quality of their insights, selections, sources, and feeds be judged? Do their efforts have many followers? Is their curation active and current?
By linking to the search pages of the major curation tools, school librarians can help students, faculty, and parents with more long-tail needs access the expertise of a subject expert or a curator with a passion for an issue. For instance, school librarians do not need to be a LibGuides subscriber to benefit from the work of the many librarians who choose to curate in that environment. Merely visiting the LibGuides Community search box opens a portal to thousands of expertly curated guides for all ages and interests (http://libguides.com/).
What has been discovered is that curation rocks as a search/current awareness tool especially for issues in the news, controversial topics, and long-tail interests.
Curation as a Learning Opportunity
While many curators effectively serve to vet signal from noise, curators may also, intentionally or unintentionally, function as gatekeepers. Does individual curation serve to narrow the lens? Can we learn to assess not only the credibility of information creators, but the credibility of information curators? The following issues deserve consideration:
- Issue: How do we avoid the role of gatekeeper?
Does individual curation serve to narrow the lens? Can we learn to assess not only the credibility of information creators, but the credibility of information curators?
- Issue: How do we avoid the "filter bubble" (Pariser 2012)?
Is only the curator's (or the searcher's) point of view represented?
- Issue: How do we evaluate quality and relevance in emerging information landscapes and recognize exemplary curation practices?
Do credibility scores (e.g., Scoop it) give data without identifying bias?
Does a curation effort model passion about a topic, shared knowledge, and updates through knowledge-forming communities?
- Issue: How do we protect and promote ideals of intellectual property?
What are the legal concerns when posting/using work of others? What are the ethical, moral, and professional concerns?
While we may not all possess the talent and vision of Albert Barnes, we all now have powerful new tools to go along with our professional skills.
If we want our school communities to view us as information and communication authorities and information professionals, if we want our communities to understand the full scope of their information worlds, if we want our young people to grow up being able to curate their own information lives, curation is not optional.

The omens are everywhere. Iran is close to obtaining nuclear weapons. The eurozone is in crisis. The U.S. unemployment rate is near 10 percent. America's social insurance programs threaten to bankrupt the country. And—most unusual—the Washington Nationals are above .500.
But rest easy. None of this is distracting the Obama administration and congressional Democrats from their fulltime occupation: demonizing the political opposition.
Consider the debate over financial reform. This is a complex issue where both parties share the same (perhaps unachievable) goal: preventing another systemic financial crisis that requires massive taxpayer bailouts. And free-market conservatives have real concerns about Senator Chris Dodd's legislation. Take, for example, the proposed resolution authority's credit guarantees for large, complex financial institutions on the brink of failure. The worry is that the market will interpret these loopholes as signs the government will never allow such firms to go under. If that's the case, Too Big to Fail lives on.
Rather than engage with these objections, however, the president has decided to slime the Republicans as defenders of the status quo. He's deployed the same army of straw men, the same Manichean oratory, that he used during the health care fight. In his April 22 speech at Cooper Union, for instance, President Obama divided the world into those who "join me," and those who support the "battalions of financial industry lobbyists descending on Capitol Hill." For the president, the only middle ground is where he's standing. Reasonable alternatives to his policies simply do not exist. It is Obama alone who determines which arguments are "legitimate" and which are "misleading." It's rhetorical blackmail: Agree with me, the president is saying, or I'll call you a liar and a hack.
Not long ago, of course, sophisticated opinion was offended by a president who divided the world into good and evil. But no one seems to care anymore. Nor does anyone seem particularly bothered by the president's redefinition of political compromise. Under the old definition, an accommodation took place when both parties negotiated over the fine points of the matter at hand. They brokered deals such as the Gang of 14 agreement on President Bush's appellate court nominees in 2005. But the problem with the old way is that it hinders Obama's ability to score political points and rack up dubious legislative "accomplishments" before the midterm elections. So it's been replaced by a version of compromise that is indistinguishable from ideological surrender.
On financial reform, good-faith discussions between Dodd and ranking Republican Richard Shelby were slowing the president's post-health care momentum. Hence last week's bizarre spectacle in which Senator Harry Reid held three cloture votes to end debate and bring the Dodd bill to the floor. Obama and Reid know the Dodd bill will pass with bipartisan support. But they held the votes so they can run 30-second spots in October that say the Republicans serve Wall Street. Never mind that the big banks support the Dodd bill. Never mind that the employees and PAC of our Public Enemy Number One, Goldman Sachs, have made the bank the largest corporate contributor to the Democratic party since 1989. As was the case with the stimulus and health care, facts are less important than hectoring the GOP.
The Democratic response to dissent is a lot like their governing style: partisan, arrogant, and self-righteous. In recent weeks, various Democratic factotums have lectured the public about "extreme" rhetoric, insinuating that the Tea Party takes its cues from The Turner Diaries. Some liberals suffer from a pathological inability to refer to the Tea Party by its name, preferring a crude and infantile sexual epithet. The folks waving signs and holding peaceful rallies have been insulted as fakes, wackos, ignoramuses, racists, nihilists, and hicks suffering from status anxiety. But when a poll revealed the Tea Party movement is better educated and wealthier than the electorate at large, a prominent Washington Post columnist summarily dismissed the movement as the "populism of the privileged." The lines of attack change, but the message is always the same: Go home. Shut up. Let us do what we want.

Two weeks ago, Barack Obama got personal with Senator Mitch McConnell over financial reform regulation. In his weekly radio address on April 17, Obama claimed that McConnell was lying about the bill at the behest of Wall Street:
Just the other day, in fact, the Leader of the Senate Republicans and the Chair of the Republican Senate campaign committee met with two dozen top Wall Street executives to talk about how to block progress on this issue. Lo and behold, when he returned to Washington, the Senate Republican Leader came out against the common-sense reforms we've proposed. In doing so, he made the cynical and deceptive assertion that reform would somehow enable future bailouts – when he knows that it would do just the opposite.

In doing so, he made the cynical and deceptive assertion that reform would somehow enable future bailouts – when he knows that it would do just the opposite.
Liberals keep voicing amazement that the debate over financial reform is proceeding much more quickly and more smoothly than the debate over health care. The reason is simple: Health care was a clash of two competing governing philosophies, whereas most everyone agrees that something went seriously awry with our financial system in the first decade of the twenty-first century. The negotiations in the Senate are a good-faith attempt to work out the differences.
Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin name checks economists and National Affairs contributors Oliver Hart and Luigi Zingales on CNBC's Squawkbox.
Read the Hart-Zingales proposal for a market-based approach to large and complex financial institutions here.
The debate over financial reform has devolved with record speed. As the two parties argue over which is more pro-Wall Street, the actual substance of the Senate legislation, aka the Dodd bill, has remained in the background. Maybe this isn't surprising, since the issue is so complex and no one really knows what's going on. Correction, Larry Lindsey knows what's going on, and he's written an analysis of the Dodd bill you ought to read.
Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell isn't a fan of Chris Dodd's financial reform bill:
Financial markets are necessary because they put people in need of money in touch with people who have money to lend. This is the essence of capitalism. Somewhere along the line, however, our financial system went out of whack.
There were many causes. Americans were saving too little, and the Chinese were saving too much. The Federal Reserve kept interest rates too low for too long in the middle of the decade, creating a surplus of credit that went into risky investments. The housing sector ballooned out of control. A "shadow banking" system came into being that leveraged huge amounts of money with absolutely no oversight. The ratings agencies said risky mortgage backed securities were A-OK. Market agents responded to regulations by seeking out loopholes, capturing the regulatory institutions, or following the rules and creating unintended (and not always positive) consequences. The result was the financial crisis that began to unfurl in 2007 and came to a head with the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008.
Irwin Stelzer delivered a thought-provoking and entertaining lecture yesterday evening at the American Enterprise Institute. You can watch it here.
Stelzer argues that conservatives need to deal with the hand the financial crisis has dealt them, by supporting policies that encourage competition (like antitrust), include the cost of negative externalities in the price of goods (like a revenue-neutral carbon tax), and deal intelligently with problems of market failure (like a Financial Consumer Protection Agency). The talk is the result of Stelzer's search for a "neo-orthodox" approach to economics that cheers capitalism as the best way to create wealth and allocate goods and services, while also acknowledging that the system creates inequalities and inefficiencies and negative externalities. That search has taken place in the WEEKLY STANDARD, and the Hudson Institute, in articles like these. Highly recommended.
Before you hit the snooze button, I want to point out a fascinating debate that's taking place over financial reform. Here's where we stand. The House passed its bill in December. The Senate recently passed its bill out of committee, and it now awaits a floor vote. Two weeks ago David Leonhardt had an easy to read rundown on the issues. The package has five main components: resolution authority to take over insolvent investment banks, a Consumer Products Safety Commission, higher capital requirements, the bank tax to "pay for future bailouts," and the Volcker Rule banning banks from trading for their own benefit, not their customer's.

Nice one. That's a fabulous look she's giving you. The gift is to be able to recognise the shot's value rather than immediately deleting it. (I was photographing a busker yesterday and people kept walking in front of me - I wonder how many strong images I deleted?)
Nominating Constructive Critique
All things considered, I think I'd rather have the shot the way it is too. She's a lot prettier than the band.
The wife of a friend at work had a similar experience. She took her camera to a gig, & was trying to get a photo of the band. Every time she clicked, the muppet in front of her threw his hands in the air & bellow "yeah". She spent most of her time deleting & trying again.

BAY CITY -- It has been 27 seasons since Billy Sims suited up for the Detroit Lions.
But fans in Bay City are still buzzing about the impact he made on their team.
Sims arrived in Bay City on Saturday to serve as guest of honor at the St. Stans Athletic Club banquet, and adults and children alike lined up to get a glimpse, a handshake or an autograph of the running back who went wild in the Pontiac Silverdome all those years ago.
"I'm still a big Lions fan at heart," said Sims, before the banquet that attracted more than 300 people to the St. Stans parish hall.
Sims joined the Lions in 1980 after a Heisman Trophy winning college career at Oklahoma and promptly triggered a turnaround in Detroit. With his high-energy running and penchant for the end zone, he instantly became a fan favorite.
He departed as the team's all-time leading rusher, despite being limited to four and a half seasons due to a massive knee injury.
"If it wasn't for the injury, I may have had a shot at the Hall of Fame," he said. "But I'm glad I had the opportunity to showcase my talent at that level."
More on this story will follow.

How to succeed with content marketing in a SEO driven world
The digital marketing platform is currently dominated by the big three – social media, SEO and content. It's not a secret that SEO has emerged as a strong force in the past few years, a development that is giving content marketers sleepless nights. Questions are now being raised as to whether content is still King or if it lost the spot to SEO. Today your content can only work with SEO if it adheres to the ever changing rules of the game that are set by SEO.

Student Wet Willies Classmate On Live TV

Ah, the wet willie. It still remains a classic in every prankster's repertoire looking to pull a fast one on a friend.
Case and point, this student from Philadelphia's St. Joseph's Prep picked the opportune moment to sneak a wet willie to his classmate during a LIVE news report about the Pope's election.
However no prank goes unpunished and according to MSN, the student may be facing suspension for his hijinks. Yet, his perfectly timed videobomb has made him a viral sensation.

Carmen Wilkerson ran for mayor of St. George with one clear goal in mind for the tiny Missouri town: Get rid of it.
Like many of St. George's 1,200 residents, the paralegal had dreaded the thought of having to pay more taxes for a backlog of road fixes. So she campaigned for mayor in the spring of 2011 with a slogan — "Save Us From Our City" — touting disincorporation. She won, and the following November residents voted by a nearly 3-to-1 margin to dissolve the town.

Goji Juice
Grown in the nutrient and phosphorous-dense soils of valleys bordered by the towering Himalayan Mountains, natives have considered the Goji plant (Lycium barbarum) an important source of food and nutrition for centuries. The plant's tender, fragile berries are teeming with a wide array of nutrients, including antioxidants, polysaccharides, and other phytonutrients. Working together within the body, this versatile combination helps protect healthy cells, supports immune and nerve function, and helps to stabilize healthy serum glucose levels.
NOW Goji Juice Concentrate has a taste that is so good, you may have to remind yourself that you're drinking something healthy. Each 1 oz. serving contains 5,500 mg of Goji Juice Concentrate, to provide you with a generous supply of the nutrients you need to thrive. Since its earliest applications, all the way to modern day use, the sweet juice from ripe Goji berries has stood the test of time, and remains one of our planet's most perfect and nourishing foods.
Goji Juice, or WolfBerry as it's sometimes referred to, is a wonderful source of:

12 days ago I was flat benching, warming up with 185, and a few reps in I noticed a dull pain in my right pec. It wasn't like a pop/snap all of a sudden type of thing, it seemed to have just faded in from nothing. With each rep it got worse so by the 6 rep mark I just shut down the bench workout. It's located deep in the pec, right between the outer edge and dead center.
By the time I got home it was very tight/sore so I iced it for about half an hour. It has improved every day until I didn't notice any more pain, but I also hadn't worked my chest at all during that time until yesterday. I took it very easy yesterday to monitor how it felt. I ended with 185 for about 7 and decided not to push it any further. Didn't feel any pain, thought I was out of the woods.
Today I have slight chest soreness, along with that same strain-like pain in my right pec. It intensifies if I do any sort of chest movement like a push up, and hurts the most at the bottom of the rep. Does this just sound like a run of the mill strained muscle? I'm assuming resting it for a few weeks is the only option. Any advice?

Aliens in Ancient Egypt: The Brotherhood of the Serpent and the Secrets of the Nile Civilization by Inner Traditions
About Aliens in Ancient Egypt
• Explains how Akhenaten was the last pharaoh entrusted with the sacred and ancient alien knowledge of stargates, free energy, and antigravity technologies
• Reveals how the Brotherhood of the Snake, a secret society of reptilian aliens, sought to destroy Akhenaten and suppress the sacred knowledge of the pharaohs
• Explores the original purpose of the pyramids--to transmit energy to expand consciousness--and how they were decommissioned after the Great Flood
The sophisticated civilization of ancient Egypt arose seemingly overnight, complete with advanced levels of art, agriculture, astronomy, and physics. Then, with the death of Pharaoh Akhenaten, much of this higher knowledge was lost--or suppressed. But evidence of this former Golden Age, the alien visitors behind its rise, and those behind its decline still exists--some of it in plain sight.
Examining the purposefully obscured reign of Akhenaten and Nefertiti, Xaviant Haze explains how they represent the last dynasty with access to the sacred knowledge of stargates, free energy, and antigravity technologies, knowledge handed down from an advanced interstellar race in the remote past. He reveals how the reptilian race known as the Shemsu Hor infiltrated the Egyptian priesthood and banking systems and formed the Brotherhood of the Snake--a secret society set on destroying Akhenaten's flourishing kingdom and suppressing the sacred knowledge of the pharaohs.
Haze examines the evidence of aliens in ancient Egypt, such as the reptilian beings depicted in the Temple of Hathor and Thutmose III's alien encounter. He shows how Akhenaten and his family are always portrayed with elongated skulls and explores the connection between ancient aliens and Mars, including the Martian materials used in Egyptian monuments. He explains the original purpose of the pyramids--to transmit uplifting energy throughout the planet to help expand consciousness--and explores how they were decommissioned after the Great Flood of prehistory. He reveals how the original builders of the pyramids foresaw humanity's fall from the Golden Age and strategically encoded these magnificent structures to wake humanity from the depths of the Dark Ages.
