Going "kosher for Passover" is a cool way to do spring-cleaning, start a healthier diet, and get spiritual. While preparation requires some effort, understanding what is required can make the task cheaper, faster, and easier, giving you more time to prepare for the spirit of the holiday.
Read Whole Story
When Passover begins again next week, I will stage my millionth attempt to rescue some meaningful spark from its story -- this time, by exploring charoset as a glorious dish at once ancient and futuristic, traditional and infinitely adaptable.
We in Israel have no choice but to move towards a social contract of mutual respect and equal rights for all, and we should take America's reelection of President Barack Hussein Obama as an inspiration.
As funny and emblematic of a certain kind of neurotic Jewish mindset as Woody Allen is, what could be more ridiculous than assuming that he represents all Jews.
Preserving, celebrating and perpetuating Judaism is not a solitary work but a noble collective pursuit, one within which each of us, Jew, or non-Jew, has a vital part and valued role.
The two models of Jewish tradition that we have presented reflect the clash between the Sephardic tradition of religious humanism and the Ashkenazi tradition of magical-occultism.
Israel's Jewish culture can be identified as the paradoxical attempt to restore Jews to the world of nations, but to do so by an occult process that remains alien to universal civilization and the standards of science and rationality.
Shas has not sought to effectively redress the secular-political problems of the Israeli Sephardim, but has relentlessly pursued its own parochial interests as an Ultra-Orthodox party in the Ashkenazi mold.
In terms of the Jewish future, the Sephardi-Ashkenazi split is of immense importance. Understanding the cultural differences between the two groups is vital for our political interests.
It is with American ears that revere the separation of church and state that we listen in awe to extreme religious happenings in the Middle East.
Building on the Talmudic term pilpul, I would like to more closely examine the difficulty that Netanyahu's recent AIPAC statements present for anyone working to negotiate a settlement between Israel and the Palestinians.
For those who have any concern with the Middle East conflict or with Judaism, what you know -- or do not know -- about pilpul is something upon which your well-being could depend.
Though it is sad to see the cultural degeneration of the Israeli Sephardim, it is nonetheless true that the community now represents a viciously reactionary element in the Israeli political system.
If Humanism is to be restored to Judaism, the Maimonidean Controversy must be addressed and resolved in a definitive manner.
Riveting is an understatement.
The beautifully recounted stories about Beirut's Jews are enlightening, but beg for details about community members w...

I cannot rave about this enough. If you have dark circles and really thin skin under your eyes, this reduces the appearance of them and makes them 80% less noticable. If you enjoy makeup that looks natural and like you're not wearing anything, this is the one. I don't even feel like I'm wearing anything under my eyes either, and my eyes are highly allergic and have yet to react to this. I applied about a quarter sized amount and patted it in with my ring finger and people have told me I look more awake and less tired. I couldn't live if they ever discontinued this. This is the MOST NATURAL looking under eye concealer ever, and I understand it's a brightener but it has concealed my circles for me, too.

I've been looking for something luminous to top concealer off with. Years ago, I've owned the very popular YSL and Dior pens. A year ago, I tried the L'Oreal pen and Maybelline Age Rewind bingo marker concealer in neutralizer but found them to be pretty useless. Something sparked my interest lately to re-explore these highlighter pens. I first began my search with BE Stroke of Light due to the affordable cost ($22) and it appeared to be very promising. Well, this wasn't exactly what I had in mind. This comes in a slim tube with a long applicator stick and a very soft doe foot tip. I love the packaging! I like the long applicator because it allows for a nice comfortable precision application. It is slim and streamline able to fit anywhere. The doe foot tip is so soft which makes it a pleasure to use. This is where the love ends.
The Shades: This comes in four shades. Luminous 1 (Pink toned for porcelain/ fair skin), Luminous 2 (Yellow toned for fair-medium skin), Luminous 3 (Peach toned for medium skin) and Luminous 4 (Apricot toned for deep skin).
The Dirty: I swatched all the shades and since I'm using this for a brightening effect and not as a primary concealer, I thought Luminous 2 would be ideal. It does have a brightening effect for sure however it is so tacky and cheap. This contains a crap ton of glitter in it. It looks so unnatural under the eyes and gives that awful reverse raccoon effect. This also doesn't have any coverage if you wanted to use this as your primary concealer. Plus, because this is nothing but a disco glitter funky thing, it won't work on blemishes or any other area of the face. This just reminds me of child's play makeup. No a fan.

Using Under the eye area
Not creasing
Highlighting any part of your face
To use as coverage for any other part of the face except your eyes
Very sheer - doesnt cover up heavy dark circles (or any other discoloration) completely
Note: has a lot of reflecting pigments which is nice to highlight any part of your face but can also bring attention to the imperfections you might be trying to cover up.
I give the product a 4 because it does what it promises to do, which is to lighten and brighten the undereye area

I originally got this product as a sample and have repurchased the fullsize product twice. I use one swipe under each eye, blended out with a small stippling brush, overtop of my normal foundation and it definitely helps to balance out the darker pigmentation I have there and it makes me look AWAKE! It doesn't settle into lines and crevices like other concealers do, and it lasts all day. I will keep buying this stuff until they stop making it.

I'm going to start by stating that my skin tone is about NC20 with olive undertones. My under eye area isn't horrific but it has issues.
I have darkness and tear troughs that a lot of HG (for most people) concealers and correctors don't work for me (all Benefit under eye products, Bobbi Brown corrector, Pixi correction concentrate, and skinfood Dark circle corrector to name a few).
I use my MAC Studio Finish concealer to cover the darkness and then go in with this. My under eye area looks fake it's so good. Ymmv with what you like. I've had no issues with cakiness (which is usually a huge pain for me), it didn't disappear at the end of the day or slide off, and it didn't fall into every fine line I didn't know I had (ahem NARS creamy concealer).

This is too sparkly, doesn't really conceal anything and lasts only 3-4 hours, except for the sparkles. It doesn't crease under my eyes, which is why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1.

LOVE this product! I have very sensitive skin, and quite dry dark circles under my eyes, this stuff is amazing! I use luminous 2. It isn't the most full coverage and doesn't eliminate the dark circles completely but this is the only product ever to not make my skin looks a thousand times dryer and that I'm not allergic too. I apply this with my finger then blend it in with a beauty blender, works wonders. It is also pretty cheap compared to a lot of makeup out there in Australia.

I initially purchased this for dark circles, but it works just as well for blemishes. It has great staying power. I tried the fuller coverage concealer and found it to be cakey. This is just right, and the shade Luminous 2 goes well with the mineral foundation in Fairly Light.

This is my first Bare Escentuals product, and I am truly amazed. The formula is just right: not too thick or runny. The consistency and pigmentation is great as well.
However, I would suggest that you try to find a cheaper price on Amazon or Ebay, because some people do consider $22 dollars for concealer as pretty expensive.

I love most BE products, but this has done nothing for me. It doesn't conceal or highlight very well at all, and is pretty expensive. I have much less expensive concealers that do a better job. I have serious dark under eye circles and some mild acne scarring. This didn't cover either. If you have very light under eye circles, this might be ok. Didn't work for me.

STUDIO CITY (CBSLA.com) — Yesterday lived up to the hype. We broke a couple of records with the high pressure focusing its strength over the west coast.
Burbank and Woodland Hills both reached into the 90s on Wednesday. Look for similar conditions today.
The ridge hasn't moved all that much so we will be in the 80s and we will probably see some 90s. However, the beach communities have been completely left out of the party. Temperatures are cool at the coast because of a dense fog layer that has once again formed this morning. An advisory is in place through 9 a.m.
The temperatures start backing down on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but we will stay above average. Beach communities won't cool down as temperatures are already low.
By next week, it looks like a broad trough along the west coast may give us a shot at rain.
Coast-low 70s
Basin-low 80s
Valleys-upper 80s
Mountains-mid 60s
Deserts–low 80s

(David Sherman/NBAE via Getty Images)By Rob Mahoney• With Ricky Rubio's return to the court just around the corner, Britt Robson reflects on the game of Minnesota's effervescent point guard to particularly wonderful effect:You want fundamentals, watch Rubio defend the perimeter on the balls of his feet, his arms and legs wide, his peripheral vision on high alert, his mastery as a floor general in service to his defense as he reads the mind of the man he is guarding, cataloging his opponent's options and calculating the odds of him being able to execute it, thus enhancing his anticipation of how to counter it.Watch him take the no-look pass to another level. A mere mortal must deploy this maneuver in a perfunctory fashion, looking away from the real intended target of the eventual pass for just a split-second, hopefully long enough to fool the defense but short enough for the mortal to retain his own bearings. Rubio holds that diversionary gaze a crucial split-second longer and aims it more specifically at another teammate, as if he is waiting an extra instant for that teammate, who is in fact the decoy, to break free. Consequently, when he finally does interrupt his dribble and snaps off the pass in another direction — the place he intended all along -- the element of surprise is magnified, generating more delight for his teammates, embarrassment for his opponents and "aahhs" from the crowd. The aesthetics are magnificent. But so are the fundamentals.• Using data from NCAA basketball, quant superstar Ken Pomeroy disputes the notion that opponent three-point percentage is a good indicator of three-point defense, particularly when it comes to early season performance. The most suitable analytical replacement, Pomeroy argues, may be opponent three-point attempts -- a measure that indeed speaks more effectively to how well a team is contesting shots on the perimeter. Adjust your basketball worldview accordingly. (via Tom Haberstroh)• I can't help but come away from reading Flip Saunders' comments on Andre Iguodala's position feeling that he's just a bit old-fashioned. Skill sets very much matter in piecing together lineups and deciding how certain players are used, but the line between shooting guard and small forward is pretty much non-existent in NBA circles. (via PBT)• John Hollinger's final 'PER Diem' column at ESPN.com takes a look at just how far basketball analytics have come over the last eight years, but Hollinger majorly undersells his own influence in the NBA's stat geek revolution. His smart numbers work and even smarter writing were fundamental to the spread of more nuanced thinking when it comes to quantitative analysis in basketball. His day-to-day commentary will be sorely missed by basketball fans and scribes (myself very much included), but it's always nice to see bright, hard-working people rewarded for approaching their craft (and in this case, the game as a whole) in all the right ways.• On a related note: Tom Ziller waxes on Hollinger's unique rise to NBA executive, specifically as it relates to how many of Hollinger's player evaluations and preferences are publicly known.• At Hardwood Paroxysm, Derek James reflects on Jonny Flynn, underdog stories, and the meaning of success:I'd love to see Jonny [Flynn] back in the NBA and successful. But is the definition of success being played behind Chris Duhon or Darius Morris while the Lakers wait for Steve Nash's return, and Jonny hoping he's done enough to keep his job? Defensively, Flynn is at a physical disadvantage, and defense is a big concern for the Lakers. The view of Jonny as an underdog would have us think, "Wow, he made it back to being the 15th man on an NBA team. That's so great he's back in the league," but that's not necessarily successful. He's averaging 16.2 ppg, 6.2 apg, and 3.4 rpg in the NBL, but with the same mediocre shooting and alarming propensity for turnovers. While he may not be turning any sort of metaphorical corner as a player, I'd rather see Jonny able to still play professional basketball somewhere, instead of being buried on an NBA bench. Jonny does have an NBA-out clause, and if [ESPN.com's Marc] Stein's hunch is correct, his return could soon be a reality.• Trey Kerby of The Basketball Jones: "Be right back -- I have to go wash my brain out with soap from thinking about Don Nelson coaching Tim Duncan."• Good reviews for Magic rookie Andrew Nicholson.• Grantland's Zach Lowe brings all kinds of data-driven clarity to one of the league's more fascinating questions these days: Do the Knicks shoot too many three-pointers?• Ian Levy and Kris Fenrich penned a thoughtful back-and-forth on Hickory High about the Spurs -- one of the most wildly successful and curiously regarded basketball teams in NBA history. One particularly interesting note came from Levy:I'm with you that the Spurs get recognition, but it's the nature of that recognition that confuses me. They get credit for their organizational structure. They get credit for the way they doggedly pursue the best course of action for their team, regardless of mainstream thought. They get credit for player development and precise execution. They get credit for creative management techniques and for abandoning flair and individual accolades in the pursuit of team success. But they don't seem to get nearly enough credit for being a dominant basketball team. Recognizing the greatness of the Spurs seems like an elitist badge of honor, along the lines of appreciating an unheralded independent director or band, unknown to most people (It's a mark of my own lack of cultural cache' that I can't name an actual band or director to complete that analogy). There seems to be something immensely self-satisfying in recognizing the beauty of something that others find utterly drab. I feel like lots and lots of the credit the Spurs' get comes from this angle, reflecting the self-celebration of the writer for recognizing the Spurs, as opposed to just celebrating the Spurs.

The Worst Impact Of Climate Change May Be How Humanity Reacts To It
Arlington VA (SPX) Aug 12, 2010
The way that humanity reacts to climate change may do more damage to many areas of the planet than climate change itself unless we plan properly, an important new study published in Conservation Letters by Conservation International's Will Turner and a group of other leading scientists has concluded.
The paper Climate change: helping nature survive the human response, looks at efforts to both reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and potential action that could be taken by people to adapt to a changed climate and assesses the potential impact that these could have on global ecosystems.
In particular it notes that one fifth of the world's remaining tropical forests lie within 50km of human populations that could be inundated if sea levels rise by 1m. These forests would make attractive sources of fuel-wood, building materials, food and other key resources and would be likely to attract a population forced to migrate by rising sea levels.
About half of all Alliance for Zero Extinction sites - which contain the last surviving members of certain species - are also in these zones.
Dr Turner said: "There are numerous studies looking at the impacts of climate change on biodiversity, but very little time has been taken to consider what our responses to climate change might do to the planet."
The paper notes that efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by constructing dams for hydropower generation can cause substantial damage to key freshwater ecosystems as well as to the flora and fauna in the flooded valleys.
It also notes that the generally bogus concept that biofuels reduce carbon emissions is still being used as a justification for the felling of large swathes of biodiverse tropical forests.
The report also reviews studies examining the complex series of outcomes in historical examples of climate change and environmental degradation, and humanity's efforts to adapt to changing circumstances.
Migration caused in part by climatic instability in Burkina Faso in the late 20th century, for example, led to a 13 per cent decline in forest cover as areas were cleared for agriculture, and a decline in fish supplies in Ghana may have led to a significant increase in bushmeat hunting.
Dr Turner added: "If we don't take a look at the whole picture, but instead choose to look only at small parts of it we stand to make poor decisions about how to respond that could do more damage than climate change itself to the planet's biodiversity and the ecosystem services that help to keep us all alive.
"While the Tsunami in 2004 was not a climate event, many of the responses that it stimulated are comparable with how people will react to extreme weather events - and the damage that the response to the Tsunami did to many of Aceh province's important ecosystems as a result of extraction of timber and other building materials, and poor choices of locations for building , should be a lesson to us all."
Although the challenge of sustaining biodiversity in the face of climate change seems daunting, the paper notes that we must - and can - rise to the challenge.
Turner adds: "Climate change mitigation and adaptation are essential. We have to ensure that these responses do not compromise the biodiversity and ecosystem services upon which societies ultimately depend.
We have to reduce emissions, we have to ensure the stability of food supplies jeopardized by climate change, we have to help people survive severe weather events - but we must plan these things so that we don't destroy life-sustaining forests, wetlands, and oceans in the process.'
The paper concludes that there are many ways of ensuring that the human response to climate change delivers the best possible outcomes for both society and the environments, and notes that in particular, maintaining and restoring natural habitats are among the cheapest, safest, and easiest solutions at our disposal to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and help people adapt to unavoidable changes.
Dr Turner said: "Providing a positive environmental outcome is often the best way to ensure the best outcome for people. If we are sensible, we can help people and nature together cope with climate change, if we are not it will cause suffering for people and serious problems for the environment."

Researchers say evidence from Africa shows humans were using tools to butcher meat from large animals millions of years earlier than previously thought. Scientists from the California Academy of Sciences found fossilized bones in Ethiopia from around 3.4 million years ago bearing evidence of stone tool cut marks made while carving meat off them, an academy release said Wednesday. ... read more

The total public automobile parking experience at Memphis International Airport has been transformed and is now branded MEMpark with the opening of the new seven-level consolidated parking and car rental facility north of the original three-level short-term and long-term garage. The first phase of the Ground Transportation Center at Memphis International Airport opened just before the Thanksgiving holiday. The new economy parking offering, which occupies levels three though seven of the structure, gives travelers 4,500 secure parking spaces for just $6.00 a day–lower priced than off-airport lots. Economy parking at MEMpark is conveniently located only a short moving walkway from the entrance to the airport terminal.
To promote the new parking and the low economy parking rates, the airport has launched an information campaign building on the "Park Smarter. Not Farther." concept, with billboard messages, radio ads, print ads, and video spots on the Airport's CNN gate monitors. With parking at $6.00 and such easy access to the airport itself, customers can literally "Ditch the Shuttle" that has traditionally been associated with on and off airport parking. In fact, two of the motivations behind the Ground Transportation Center were environmental and customer service. Economy parking at MEMpark eliminates the need for any polluting, unpredictable and often inconvenient pick-up and drop-off shuttle traffic for travelers. more »
Recently, the Ground Transportation Center and the overall continuous upgrading and re-investing in Memphis International was featured in the Memphis Invest Blog from memphisinvest.com, a family-owned Real Estate Investment Company in Memphis. In describing the leadership of Memphis International, the blog stated, "With completion nearing for the upgrades recently being added to Memphis International Airport, Memphis has a shining example of what redevelopment can do for the image of the city."

Memphis International Airport has opened 18 new Family Restrooms in time for the busy holiday travel period.
The single-stall restrooms were added for those people who need assistance when using the restroom. Family restrooms provide privacy for people with disabilities as well as flexibility for parents traveling with children of the opposite sex. They are located on both the non-secure (lobby, and baggage claim levels) and the secure side (B-Concourse) of the Terminal. For a complete list of locations visit: http://www.memphisairport.org/passenger/customer_assistance.
Service animals need to take care of their basic biological functions while traveling, just like people do. To assist the animals and their handlers, three new Service Animal Relief Areas (SARAs) are now available on the secure side (B-Concourse) of the Terminal at Memphis International, providing time-saving convenience for passengers traveling with leashed or harnessed service animals. The new SARAs alleviate the need to take service animals outside the terminal and return through a security line again to make a flight connection.
Pet and Service Animal Relief Areas are still also provided outside the terminal in the grassy areas to the side of Baggage Claim A and C. For a complete list of locations visit: www.memphisairport.org/passenger/customer_assistance#redirect.
Jim Neely's Interstate BBQ at Memphis International Airport was recently highlighted in a Food & Wine restaurant editor's blog about the nation's top airport dining spots. In the blog, Neely's was highlighted as, "The ribs at Jim Neely's are as good as I have had in an airport. BBQ snobs may quibble, but they really hit the spot if you are a hungry, weary road warrior who is bored with the usual food court crap."

I'm ok with the basics when it comes to mascara. No club applicators, no tiny ones, no plastic ones, just a good, old fashion bushy brush works for me.
the Balm Cheater Mascara keeps it simple with their applicator and in turn it produces wonderfully long lashes.
It's rare a mascara can make lashes look longer as well as fuller but the Balm Cheater Mascara does the trick. This keeps things simple. No bells, no whistles, no crazy applicator.
You're getting a basic black mascara formula with a nice lightweight feel and a rich black formula. The applicator is a bushy standard applicator that produces fuller, longer lashes in a few strokes. Application is breezy as the formula strokes right through lashes without clumping up. It wears very well without fading or flaking and remains light enough on that my lashes don't feel crispy and crunchy after applicator or after a few hours of wear.
Sometimes simple just works best.
the Balm Cheater Mascara delivers plenty of length and a nice full fringe of lashes.
Simply, well, perfect.

Wow this mascara looks great! And the packaging is so cute.
3/21/12 15:56 kiwikiwidragon:
Cute packaging but I think it makes your lashes stick together and its slightly on the gray side instead of black. Did it smear or give you raccoon eyes?
3/21/12 16:03 kiwikiwidragon:
Could be, always looking for something new to try
3/21/12 16:47 mimikaayu:

I actually tried this for the first time today. Maybe I recieved an old tube, but the formula seemed really dry. I had to dig for product and it was a new tube! I'm gonna try to make it work, but so far I'm liking Maybelline's Full and Soft Mascara a lot better.
3/22/12 20:53 christmas:
I bought a bunch of thebalm make up and skincare from Marshalls. The sets came with this mascara so I have two bottles. I use lash extensions but I'm gonna try this when I decide to take these out!
3/23/12 5:08 Phyrra:
Wow, it looks like a great mascara.
3/26/12 15:23 kim:
I use this mascara everyday and love it… if you want longer and dramatic lashes just put more!! Its perfect for any look! natural or dramatic! this mascara will do the trick!

It doesn't seem to say when the data was collected, but the paper was published in 2010, and the crawl was done after the 2008 elections, so let's assume 2009. One worry I have is that they used the SoPo Sentral of Malaysia directory as the starting point of their crawl – but that was last updated in December 2008, and is not necessarily complete. On the other hand, it's probably the best place to start. But Dr. Mahathir's blog (which started in May 2008) is not mentioned which is surprising.
What they did was to take the 385 blogs in the SoPo-Sentral directory and follow the link to a depth of four (e.g. follow links from one blog, collect all the links it links to, then follow those, and again two times). From this they got 4,693 sites, and approximately 2,000 blogs. Another crawl using the same technique on blog posts mentioning 'Bersih' in the week after the Bersih demonstrations gathered 878 blogs.
So this suggests that there were about 2,000 Malaysian SoPo blogs. Which is less than I imagined. Edit: Actually, it's more likely to mean that there are between 878 and 2000 sopo blogs.
Here are some of the results. They also compare SoPo blogs to random Malaysian blogs.
• The almost paradigmatic polarisation of SoPo blogs demonstrated in the USA by Adamic & Glance is not replicated here. Instead there is a distinct clustering of smaller groups with scattered individuals forming 'bridges'.
Source details below
My hunch here is that this reflects patronage-style politics – people affiliating themselves with individuals – rather than identifying themselves with ideology or political stances (to note however that another SNA analysis of the Malaysian blogosphere did turn up a polarisation – though it was not focused on SoPo blogs).
• SoPo bloggers are more likely (compared to random Malaysian bloggers) to be older males (this is the same as the US), and also to reveal details about themselves.
• 27.9% specify a political affiliation as follows: 10.2% UMNO, 7.1% PAS, 4.2% PKR, 2.5% DAP, 1.2% PSM. Surprisingly no other BN parties such as MCA, MIC, Gerakan, etc. Overall, it suggests that most SoPo bloggers see themselves as independents.
• SoPo blogs are four times more likely to be in English than BM ("the small amount of Chinese blog content in [their] data" were not dealt with).
• "the average sopo blogger has more in-links and comments than random Malaysian bloggers"
• Blogger.com (i.e. 'blogspot') "has more than 152,000 Malaysian profiles — many more than on Wordpress.com or similar services."

Prep football: Acuna boots Gulf Coast past Lely
Third quarter
GC — Acuna 34 FG, 1:14
It was like this for Gulf Coast on offense in its homecoming game against Lely on Friday — the Sharks' longest play from scrimmage was a 13-yard run by punter Danny Acuna.
No matter. It was more of Acuna's footwork that helped the Sharks earn their second win of the year. Acuna's 34-yard field goal in the third quarter lifted the Sharks to a 3-0 victory over the Trojans at Tudryn Field.
"It's the best game I ever had," Acuna said. "I don't find myself to be a key player but it amazes me that I can make a big difference in a game. I love what I do."
Acuna, a senior who missed most of last season with a torn ACL, also played a big part in the Sharks' shutout with booming punts that often pinned Lely inside its own 15-yard line. Acuna averaged 40-plus yards on five punts.
"He's like a Swiss Army knife," Sharks first-year coach Pete Fominaya said about Acuna. "He's got all different kinds of abilities. His punts were unbelievable, and that field goal from the right hash for right-footed kicker is not easy."
The Trojans came off their most inspired performance of the season in losing to powerhouse Immokalee last week in the closing minutes. However, on Friday Lely could not get anything going on offense, gaining just 110 yards for the game.
Still, the Trojans had a chance to win when Gulf Coast quarterback Nick Schmidt fumbled the ball with 3:40 remaining in the game, giving Lely the ball at its own 27-yard line. But the Trojans were unable to capitalize on the possession with two runs that went for no yardage and committing three penalties before backup quarterback Karbiel Dirogene was intercepted on a Hail Mary pass.
"We didn't make plays when we had the opportunity to make plays," said Lely coach Stacey Stewart, also in his first year at the helm.
Gage Rion led the Sharks with 61 yards rushing. Despite the low offensive production, Fominaya was pleased with his team.
"We don't pass the looks test," he said of his team's overall small size. "We're not going to be the most intimidating team coming off the bus, but we play with a lot of heart. Heart is measured in attitude and effort, and I think we did a good job of that tonight.
"I have a lot of confidence in our defense. We were outgunned and outmanned. They had bigger, stronger guys but our guys were fighting and are coached up very well. Our focus is to be a great second half team."
The Sharks host Port Charlotte next week in a Class 7A-District 11 contest. Meanwhile, the Trojans host an important district matchup on Friday when they play 5A-12 foe Golden Gate

Why gold is getting dragged down by the euro crisisPosted on 13 December 2011 with 7 comments from readers
With gold prices hitting a devilish $1,666 per ounce today, a seven-week low for the precious metal, some explanation is called for as the worry over money printing by central banks has seldom been higher.
Blame the euro if you are a gold bug. The sinking euro is boosting demand for the US dollar. And the greenback and gold – and all other commodities – usually head in opposite directions.
Dollar strength?
You can question this as a long-term phenomenon if you like. ArabianMoney certainly thinks that US debts and deficits will come back to haunt the dollar in the near future. But for the moment the dollar is the least ugly sister at the dance.
Indeed as ArabianMoney has pointed out many times in the past as the US financial markets sink the US dollar is the automatic beneficiary. Anybody selling a dollar-denominated asset gets dollars in return and that boosts demand for dollars.
However, there are also those analysts who see a tipping point for the gold price when the euro hits a certain level with holders of euros choosing to buy gold in direct exchange for their money. We are very close to that level right now.
Hence precious metal owners are in a bit of a quandary. Do you dump gold because the price is falling or buy it because the euro looks close to falling off a cliff?
Presumably the IMF intervention in markets just over a week ago is going to keep on pumping sufficient dollars into the eurozone banking system to prevent this happening in the short-term but it is still a nervous time.
Good times roll
One thing you can be absolutely sure of is that gold and silver prices will bounce much higher in the near future. Maybe we need to see a real crisis in the eurozone first, possibly early next year, and a revisiting of the 2008 lows for financial markets.
But the upside in precious metals is unmissable because of the money printing to date – whose real inflationary effects have yet to come through – and the money printing to come from central banks.
The Fed has QE3 ready to fire and the ECB is widely expected to drop its opposition to money printing as soon as fiscal austerity measures are imposed. Then the price of gold and silver will surely head to the moon.

Former Goldman Sachs trader, and CNBC TV star, Jim Cramer, just said that NOW is the time to raise some CASH. He said he was going to DEFCON 2, from DEFCON 3, (DEFCON 1 being TOTAL euro meltdown) because some European banks are on the verge of having to be NATIONALIZED, and that fast (within 48 hours) action will be needed by the Europeans, or all hell might break loose. Jim is a very rich guy with his own charitable trust. He is connected to the Goldman movers and shakers. Does he know something that is not public knowledge yet, who knows? He was very concerned that the euro had fallen below 130 to the dollar for some reason.
I think gold will go down, if Europe melts down. I see it going down to $1,400 for a while, until the money printing is forced upon the EU. I DON'T think that the Europeans are foolish enough to let that happen, but stranger things have happened. I was reading something on my laptop and happened to look up at the TV to see gold at $1,666.66. I can remember laughing, thinking, 'What is the chance of that happening?' And I just saw 3 jets lined up in the sky coming in to land in Washington, live on the CNBC Kudlow Report. I have NEVER seen 3 before. They are getting their money's worth out of that single runway! Investors fleeing the euro zone?
How about the British plan to build a super-giant airport east of London. It would have 4 parallel runways, and be built on fill. They will have to get Oil State money for that, or some communist cash. It might be a good investment, since the UK will probably have the largest population in Europe by 2050.
Some fellow on the radio out of Dallas, Sunday night, said that the price of new vehicles in the USA has actually fallen. Get ready for QE 3 next spring. That, and European crisis money printing might push the gold price up to nearly $2,000 by Christmas 2012. But right now, unless you are counting your oil well money, I would stay in the US dollar. Better safe than sorry.
Finally, check this out. You may have heard of the financial troubles of California, and be wondering how it could happen, with all those huge mansions that you can see from Google Earth all over the place, on the edge of every city. I just read a newspaper article about someone who retired from the California school system at age 59, after 40 years of employment. His position was not given. For the rest of his life, he will receive an annual pension of $179,000. Gee, I wonder why they are broke?
Gold will rise again. Look at the charts or learn how to read 'em! Trending down at the moment but will rebound next year.
They will have to get Oil State money for that, or some communist cash. It might be a good investment, since the UK will probably have the largest population in Europe by 2050.
Comment by Bill in Slidell –
Why are you worried about 2050? A lot of us reading your comment would have passed away by then or we'll be living in care homes with knarled bodies and dementia . The only thing we'll want then is a meal or two and warmth when the weather gets cold.
@ Bob
I'm not 'worried' about much, Bob. I just mentioned the potential new London airport because construction might start in a few years, which could make some construction company investors a lot of profit. It would be one of the largest construction projects ever. I doubt it will actually get approved because of the environmental impact, but you never know.
hard to pick a bone w/that peter.
in fact i would say—-exactly.
i will ad that TFmetalsreport.com called this slide last thursday based on the gold lease rate.
and jesse agrees: http://jessescrossroadscafe.blogspot.com/2011/12/interest-rate-for-lending-gold-in.html
this is ben and widdle timmy knocking down gold to prepare for QE3 in late feb or march
faber believes 9400 DOW will get that done…which is where we will be before germany lets the ECB print to save(temporarily) the piigs n the banks they owe.
@ Peter, the Ed.:
The title of your commentary is a question, beginning with the letter "WHY?" Your commentary mentions "dollar demand", which is certainly the case, although the USD is indeed the least ugly of paper currencies, and isn't the main factor associated with gold's fall. You didn't really answer your own question, nor provide the real basis as to why gold has dropped by so much.
@ Boatman, Who Answered the Question:
Thanks for providing the answer . . . albeit a partial one. The western banks have been extremely busy over the past two weeks as they've secretly been leasing gold while simultaneously directing their agents (i.e. the JPM/HSBC Gold Suppression Cartel) to short the gold futures price, and to short GLD & SLV, as well.
Isn't it interesting how those Custodians of these ETFs (e.g. JPM for SLV, and HSBC for GLD), while holding a fiduciary to the ETFs investors, will habitually take actions that are not in the ETF investors' best interests?
Delete the Word "Fiduciary" from the Dictionary:
I guess the word "fiduciary" has no meaning on Wall Street these days, nor at the CFTC. Although the CFTC's motto is "Ensuring the Integrity of the Futures and Options Markets" (reference: http://cftc.gov/About/MissionResponsibilities/index.htm), these CFTC Commissioners go to "work", but feel that they don't have to do anything while there.

Q: Will people lose body fat more efficiently by performing their aerobic workouts at a low, rather than a high, intensity?
A: Unfortunately, many fitness professionals advocate low-intensity workouts as a way to maximize fat burning. The theory is that low-intensity aerobic exercise training will allow the body to use more fat as the energy source, thereby accelerating the loss of body fat.
While it is true that a greater percentage of calories burned during low-intensity exercise come from fat (about 60 percent as opposed to about 35 percent from high-intensity exercise workouts), high-intensity exercise still burns more calories from fat in the final analysis. Thirty minutes of low-intensity exercise (e.g., 50 percent of maxžmal exercise capacity) burns approximately 200 Calories, and about 120 of those come from fat (i.e., 60 percent). However, exercising for the same amount of time at a high intensity (e.g., 75 percent of maximal exercise capacity) burns approximately 400 calories. At the 35 percent fat utilization figure, 140 Calories burned come from stored fat.
The more vigorous exercise burns both more total and fat calories, but the milder has its benefits as well. For example, many overweight people find lower-intensity exercise to be more comfortable and, therefore, are more willing to engage in such workouts. And low-intensity workouts do promote weight and fat loss. They just have to be performed for longer durations.
Low-intensity exercise, however, is not a better or more effective way to lose weight than more intense physical activity. It really doesn't matter which substrate your clients burn when they exercise. Expending energy (i.e., burning calories) is what's important The bottom line is that your clients will lose weight and body fat when they expend more calories than they consume — not because they burn fat (or anything else) when they exercise.
Q: Does stepping backward on a stair climbing machine cause greater involvement of the gluteals?
A: Retrograde stair climbing (e.g., stepping backward) reduces lumbar flexion (i.e., forward body lean), thus promoting a more erect and improved body posture during exercise. Many individuals erroneously believe that retrograde stair climbing places a greater emphasis on the gluteal muscles, resulting in specific firming and toning of the buttocks.
However, EMG (electromyographic) studies conducted by the Department of Physical Therapy at Iowa University have revealed that retrograde stair climbing places slightly greater (when compared to forward stair climbing) emphasis on the quadriceps (the large group of muscles located on the front of the thigh) and the hamstrings (muscles on the back of the thigh), while slightly reducing the emphasis placed on the gluteals and strocnernius (calves). In our opinion, using a stepping machine in the retrograde position is generally not justified due to the awkwardness associated with exercising in this manner. FM Cedric X.

BELLVUE, Colo. (AP) - Authorities temporarily grounded firefighting aircraft battling an out-of-control blaze scorching central Colorado on Wednesday, reacting with caution to witness reports of meteor sightings.
The temporary move came amid several reported sky sightings near the fire burning 1,100 acres, or nearly 2 square miles, west of Colorado Springs.
The Colorado sightings corresponded with reports of a possible meteor filed by the crews of two commercial aircraft over Liberal, Kan., according to the National Weather Service. Other sky sightings were reported in Raton, N.M.
A spokesman with the Federal Aviation Administration said he had no such reports. He also said there were no reported disruptions to commercial airline traffic.
Fire officials ordered four single-engine aircraft to stay on the ground as a precaution. Two heavy air tankers were also affected. The planes soon resumed their attack on the fire.
The groundings came as firefighters were taking advantage of a break in the heat to ramp up their attack against wildfire burning on more than 100 square miles in the northern part of the state.

Nearly five years after the end of the Great Recession, the labor market today is still far from full recovery. The problem of this inadequate job growth for everyone in America can be attributed to an unprecedented disengagement from the labor force since the end of the recession. Last year, labor force participation was at its lowest level in 35 years. Unless we stop this trend and begin to bring back the millions of Americans who are no longer in the labor force, we will have permanently lower economic growth, slower income growth, and rising income inequality. In order to assist American families to escape poverty, we must focus on policies that support employment by encouraging economic growth, lowering the cost of hiring for employers, and increasing incentives to re-enter the labor force.

First Baptist Church planning for mid-October moving day
Polk County Enterprise - July 2008
LIVINGSTON — Since 1904 First Baptist Church has made its home on the corner of Tyler and Calhoun streets in Livingston. That site is now up for sale in preparation for the congregation's move to new facilities on North Houston, according to Minister of Music Kevan Wood. Now that for-sale signs are planted on the property, Wood emphasizes that its the building, not the church, that's being sold.
Wood has received inquiries from potential buyers that would like to continue using the site as a house of worship. A Huntsville-based church and another pastor with a church between Woodville and Beaumont have inquired about the FBC facilities. A third inquiry was for a private school, Wood said. First Baptist's Wadsworth Center will be purchased by the City of Livingston which has already executed an intent to buy contract, Wood said. If the main sanctuary, parking lot, offi ces and three education buildings don't sell by October, the church will begin to consider offers from those interested in buying part of the property.

Sporting News takes a look at next season's rookie head coaches, breaking down five important categories including their turnaround potential. Friday's coach: Pat Shurmur.
There's a reason the Denver Broncos hired John Fox just two weeks after the Carolina Panthers made the decision to not bring him back. Fox, who built his reputation under a line of successful NFL coaches from Chuck Noll to Jim Fassel, is coming off nine pretty good years in Carolina.
Although it was a roller-coaster ride of regular seasons during his 73-71 run there, the peaks were pretty good: two division titles and an NFC championship in 2003. With his background as a former defensive coordinator, it's not surprising he kept the team strong in two key areas: defense and the running game.
Fox is well-respected among his peers and has proved to be a tough defensive-minded adversary for most of them.
"He's a wily old Fox," said former Cowboys vice president of player personnel Gil Brandt, a scouting analyst for NFL.com. "People in this league are very impressed with what's he done."
Fox has now been trusted by none other than the greatest Bronco of them all, John Elway, to bring back the toughness and sense of balance that were missing in Denver under predecessor Josh McDaniels, who delivered an exciting passing game but didn't have much to show for it in the win column.
The Broncos made a big move toward quickly rebuilding their dismal defense by drafting Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller with the second overall pick in April. Look for Fox, who turned Juluis Peppers and Jon Beason into dominant playmakers in Carolina, to put Miller in the best position to succeed—even if it means mixing in some 3-4 concepts with the 4-3 Fox likes to play to take advantage of Miller's prowess as an edge rusher.
Don't be surprised if Miller emerges as a young leader to complement Brian Dawkins in the secondary. Miller's versatility also will provide big immediate help to Fox.
"Von Miller can play well anywhere — he could even play quarterback if he wanted," Brandt said. "He's just that good — a spectacular athlete."
Unfortunately, Miller can't play linebacker and solve the Broncos' quarterback issue at the same time. Elway and Fox are allowing Kyle Orton, Tim Tebow and Brady Quinn to compete for the job, but the choice won't be easy as coffee, tea or milk.
Elway, obviously, has a discerning eye for the position, so it'll be up to which McDaniels holdover can impress him the most with his work ethic, passion and grasp of a new offense. Look for Tebow to win the job. Once he's in the role, however, he needs to continue to prove that he can make the transition to a well-rounded, pro-style quarterback.
If Elvis Dumervil can come back strong from the torn pectoral muscle that cost him the 2011 season, Fox will have two pretty good front-seven pieces in Dumervil and Miller. Dumervil's strength has been rushing the passer from the outside, and he might need to do much more of that with his hand on the ground at end in Fox's 4-3. With Miller drawing attention outside, Dumervil could be in line for a big rebound season working against much fewer double-teams.
Fox's best Carolina teams were solid in the front four, with Peppers outside and Kris Jenkins inside. That type of pop has been lacking in Denver as the team has tried to get by with fill-ins, most notably the failed ex-Browns experiment. It's imperative for Fox to establish a good line rotation to raise the team from the depths of its run-stopping woes.
Offensively, the key is restoring an old strength from the Mike Shanahan area: the rushing attack. Knowshon Moreno is tabbed to be the feature back, but don't be surprised if the Broncos go after a Fox favorite in Carolina, free agent DeAngelo Williams. With the shaky quarterback situation, the best way to help whoever's under center is a good running game.
Coming off a 4-12 season, the Broncos have plenty of work to do to become players in the tough AFC West again. They should find some inspiration from the Chiefs' quick ascension to a division title last season. But the fact is, the Broncos remain the West's fourth-most talented team behind the Chargers, Chiefs and Raiders, who went 6-0 in the division last season. It would be a good season for Fox if he can bring the Broncos' defense back near the middle of the pack and come out of 2011 confident that the team has identified a long-term starting quarterback.
