Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon
The musical duo usually likes to keep things professional on Twitter, but there are occasional exceptions. Mariah tweeted this cute shot of herself embracing her hubby on New Year's Eve 2012 along with the message, "Happy new year from Australia!!!!" The disgustingly cute couple also posts countless family photos with their adorable twins on each of their Instagram accounts. Now that's marital bliss!

Reviews of Blush By Jasmine
My experience with this Keratin Treatment was relaxing and fantastic! I'm a mother with 2 small children so I am unable to visit the hairdresser when I want to so the keratin specialist came to my house (when it was convenient for me) and made the experience relaxing and carefree! She was friendly and considerate and I was able to keep an eye on my little ones in the comfort of my own home whilst getting my hair done. The process took a few hours but it was well worth it! The treatment did wonders to my hair and has made it sooo soft and luxurious with absolutely no frizz. The price was affordable for me because I have been charged well over $300 in the past to have this treatment done at a salon. Plus I received a beautiful gift bag with my free keratin shampoo and conditioner. This is a fantastic service that I will now be using frequently because it is so convenient and the treatment is the absolute best! I highly recommend this treatment and service to everyone!

|Adaptive ingredients against food spoilage in Japanese cuisine.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19225969 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Billing and Sherman proposed the antimicrobial hypothesis to explain the worldwide spice use pattern. The present study explored whether two antimicrobial ingredients (i.e. spices and vinegar) are used in ways consistent with the antimicrobial hypothesis. Four specific predictions were tested: meat-based recipes would call for more spices/vinegar than vegetable-based recipes; summer recipes would call for more spices/vinegar than winter recipes; recipes in hotter regions would call for more spices/vinegar; and recipes including unheated ingredients would call for more spices/vinegar. Spice/vinegar use patterns were compiled from two types of traditional Japanese cookbooks. Dataset I included recipes provided by elderly Japanese housewives. Dataset II included recipes provided by experts in traditional Japanese foods. The analyses of Dataset I revealed that the vinegar use pattern conformed to the predictions. In contrast, analyses of Dataset II generally supported the predictions in terms of spices, but not vinegar.

Vertical Farms0
Is "The Plant" the future of agribusiness?
Melanie HoekstraOperations Manager at The Plant answers our questions
The Plant was once just another dilapidated building worth no more than the metal inside its walls. Now this former meatpacking plant is becoming Chicago's first vertical farm and a food business incubator. Melanie Hoekstra, Operations Manager at The Plant, answers a few questions about how aquaponic farming and an anaerobic digester power the building and minimize waste.
How is vertical farming at The Plant different than the futuristic 3D renditions associated with vertical farms?
The problem with those renderings is that huge windows don't make much sense outside the tropics. Any glass that lets sunlight in also lets heat out, resulting in an energy imbalance in cooler climates. So we're growing plants in a highly insulated building under grow lights, but we'll completely offset that energy use by installing an anaerobic digester and combined heat and power system.
So the anaerobic digester plays a big role in powering The Plant?
Yep. Almost all of our waste will be from food, as we'll have only food-related activities going on in the building like beer brewing, aquaponics, and food preparation. That waste, plus other brewing waste from nearby breweries, goes into the digester, where bacteria break it down into methane. We'll burn the methane in the combined heat and power system, which is a big turbine that creates steam and electricity. This system makes us net-zero energy and net-negative waste.
Many vertical farming models use aquaponics. Why was it a good fit for The Plant?
Aquaponics solves the problems with aquaculture (produces too much waste) and hydroponics (needs nutrient inputs) by hooking them together. It mimics an ecosystem and is more stable than either aquaculture or hydroponics.
The Plant is very unique based on your specific resources and structure. Can these innovations be adapted for sustainable projects in other parts of Chicago and perhaps even other cities?
Absolutely. The very point of this project is to show there's money to be made in collecting other people's waste, turning it into a renewable energy source, and growing food–while also creating new jobs. We'll eventually put everything about the project up on our website so others can learn and replicate The Plant elsewhere.

"Woody Allen: A Documentary" (NR)
Movie: 3 1/2 out of 4 stars
Disc: 3 1/2 out of 4 stars
With the possible exception of Martin Scorsese, there is no living filmmaker who would make a more ideal documentary subject than Woody Allen. First broadcast on PBS late last year, this two-part, 195 minute film still feels incomplete. Making a movie about Allen is kind of like putting together a comprehensive best-of Beatles album; you're going to have to omit something. That comes mostly in the second half when director Robert Weide glosses over most of Allen's largely forgettable '90s titles. This minor slighting is more than made up for on the first disc with a thorough chronicling of Allen's younger years as a TV writer and stand-up comic.
Technical specs: aspect ratio: Widescreen (assorted ratios), audio: English (Stereo 2.0, Dolby Surround 5.1), subtitles: none.
Special features include:
-- Director interview
-- Deleted scenes(PBS/Docurama, $29.99)

The mayor of Farmington Hills will face off against another city official, a General Motors executive and others in a race for the Farmington-area 37th House District soon being vacated by a term-limited Democrat.
The race for the state seat, which Rep. Vicki Barnett will be leaving next year, includes Farmington Hills Democrats Barry Brickner — the city's current mayor — Head of GM Global Training Theresa Rich and technology consulting professional Christine Greig. The three will vie in the Aug. 5 primary against Republicans Richard Lerner, Farmington Hills Councilman, and Julie Grippo, of Northville.
Barnett has opted to seek the District 11 Senate seat now occupied by Sen. Vincent Gregory.
Among topics all candidates find most pressing are education and road repair funding, or state infrastructure.
Lerner, a former mayor pro-tem in Farmington Hills and member on several community boards, said he holds these issues the most dear because they are actionable.
"The manner in which we determine the level of funding for our schools, per pupil, is failing us," Lerner told the Oakland League of Women Voters, adding that making college tuition partially tax deductible would help make it more affordable. "We need a hybrid system that takes into account more than just the number of students."
Rich, a tax lawyer who is the vice president of the Oakland Schools Board, said that as a mother, she feels the state needs to "stop padding private corporation profit lines with tax dollars meant to educate our children."
Brickner, who was a general practice attorney for 37 years, said the hot-button issue of the state's roads cannot be ignored, and is both a safety and economic development issue.
"We cannot attract new businesses to our state if we have inadequate roads to transport their goods," said Brickner, also a member of the Corridor Improvement Authority.
Small business owner and community advocate Christine Greig added that developing Michigan's workforce and reducing poverty are key for the state's future.
"We must improve workforce readiness and opportunities through job training programs, public/private partnership for apprenticeships (and) address college affordability," she said, noting that restoring the Earned Income Tax Credit would help keep families working and children out of poverty.
Grippo, a businesswoman for 30 years, is just stepping into the political arena, her Facebook campaign page states. Having owned a small business herself for 12 years, she said she would push for a "level playing field" for small businesses in the state, and "promote the importance of buying local.
"The more revenue raised, the more money available for education and roads," she said. "Spending within our means in possible without raising taxes."

I accept Matt Stephens invitation (A few things you may not know about Hughes Stadiums rowdy history, Oct. 28) to share memories of Hughes Stadium. Fall football at Hughes was a three generational Bice-Yule family tradition, so we were in the stands for the 1974 CSU-BYU game. Watching Jack Graham quarterback was extremely frustrating and the crowd approved when coach Sark Arslanian pulled him. Mark Driscoll received thunderous credit for turning the game around, and the season improved going forward. (Little did we know it was Graham on the sidelines calling the game-tying play until now.)
Though Graham labels Hughes a beautiful facility back in its day, it is common knowledge that Lubick-Hughes can be made state-of-the-art at a fraction of the cost of building a stadium on campus. Hughes (a one-of-a-kind stadium) is well worth the upgrade.
Stephens has us inching closer to possibly moving. An on-campus stadium would be Grahams massive ego legacy leaving in its wake a bitter split on and off campus. Longstanding traditions and closely held memories at Lubick-Hughes will have been trampled in the dust. Grahams egocentric behavior serves nobody well.
Worst of all are false promises by Graham declaring a top 25 team and an on-campus stadium could be built cleanly with no bending of the rules, no breach of trust with the community, and no embarrassment to CSU. With each shifting of the goal posts plus shady bidding procedures, these assurances have proved hollow indeed.
As in 1974, Graham needs to be pulled from the game, once and for all!

Ava Jessica Kotyk is the daughter of Sheldon and Julie, born in Langley, BC on September 8th, 2005. She is 17 months younger than her sister Kristin but is a big sister to Jamie.
Ava spends her time blowing through an abundance of energy, although we don't know where she actually gets it from as she doesn't eat anything. Her ability to launch herself within inches of Baby Jamie's head from different pieces of furniture causes Mommy to go insane. Thankfully, Ava is able to play on her own for hours on end, unlike her sisters.
Ava likes monkeys and is the Kotyk most likely to be in the X-Games.

When I walked into the tattoo shop I walked over to look at some of the pictures of tattoo's that the tattoo guy, Biggy, has down. Biggy isn't his real name it's Harrison but he likes everyone to call him Biggy because well he is giant so no one really cares. I was early for my appointment so I didn't want to bother him while he was tattooing another guy. Dad smiled at him before going over to the counter. "Sweetheart you lost?" The guy's friend laughed at me from where he was sitting next to the tattoo bed.
"No I'm fine." I said shortly not wanting to get into it with him.
"Well I think you are 'cause you know this isn't a piercing place Toots." I watched Dad's jaw clamp shut.
"Well Crap wod I think I got that from the nice big sigh right there." I pointed at the sigh that said 'no piercings done here' that hung right by the door. He looked at me then at the sign.
"Well shouldn't you be leaving then because pretty girls like you don't get tattoos?" Biggy looked up from where he was sitting, just finishing off the tattoo from the douche guy's friend.
"I wouldn't talk to her like that if you want to live." He laughed looking over at me as the guy on the tattoo table looked over and smiled.
"Hey Bailey, back again?" I smiled at him and shrugged. He laughed before wincing as Biggy wrapped up the freshly tattooed skin.
"It's the smell in here it makes you come back for more." The guy nodded. His friend looked over at him.
"David you know her?" He said nodding looking me up and down.
"Oh yeah she was here last time I got a tattoo." The friend looked over at me narrowing his eyes.
"Girls don't get tattoos hey hurt too much." Dad started to laugh making the guy look over. "What's so funny?"
"Girls don't get tattoos? Are you kidding me? Like half the female population around here have tattoos." Biggy laughed as some other works started to walk around the shop.
"I don't understand why a girl like you needs anything to hurt that pretty little skin of yours but if you need to I do have something that might work." He wiggled his eye brow at me. I almost gagged at him.
"Aw man that was the worst pick up line ever." David moaned closing his eyes before looking at me. "Ignore him Bailey." Dad walked up to me and put a hand on my back glaring at the guy.
"David this is my Dad Tanner. Dad this is David we talked the last time I was here." Dad smiled at him shaking his hand.
"Nice to meet the Dad of such a talented girl." All the guys looked at him before looking back at me.
"Really he was talking about my drawing. Perverts." Dad nodded smiling.
"Sorry to disappoint you but she didn't get it from me. It's all her mother's working." David nodded.
"So how did it turn out?" He smiled pulling up his shirt to show me the tiger that wrapped around his hip in black and white. "Wow that looks better than I expected it would." Biggy laughed.
"I told you you did amazing." The guy looked over at me.
"You drew that tiger?" I nodded.
"I was hanging out in here and he came in hoping to get a tattoo and Biggy didn't know how to draw one so I drew it for him. I got 40 dollars out of it." I nodded impressed with myself. Dad smiled hugging me kissing my head before I sat down on the table as Biggy walked over.
"Best tattoo I ever got." He nodded pulling his shirt down.
"Alright Bailey shirt off." I unzipped my hoodie and took off my cotton t-shirt and looked at him. "You know that tattoo on your back looks very nice." He smirked at me as I laid down and pulled my jeans down a little bit so he could get to my hip. Dad sat down next to me as Biggy got ready.
"Oh course it is you did it." He laughed as I winced as he started to tattoo my pale hip.
"So what made did you choose Bailey this time?" David asked getting his coat on.
"I'm going to get the butterfly and the other one next time." He nodded in understandment.
"Good choice my friend. Good to see you again Bailey. Nice to meet you Tanner." Dad waved as David pushed his friend out the door. "Bailey maybe you can draw my next tattoo?"
"I don't know leave your number and I'll call you to see when you want it." He nodded giving Dad his business card before leaving.
"You know you might just get me a lot of business." Biggy laughed wiping away the left over ink.
"I guess I might be." I smiled at him closing my eyes as I felt the vibrations on the gun over my bone.
"Maybe you could work with me, get some money and do what your good at." I looked over at him.
"Are you trying to hint at something?" I asked wrinkling my nose.
"Alright do you want to work with me and draw up some tattoos for me? I can pay you some good money." I watched his face.
"What do you mean?" Dad laughed at me.
"Bailey Big is giving you a job." I looked over at him. I looked back over at Biggy.
"Really?" He nodded.
"Absolutely Bailey. You are one of the best artists I have ever seen and I have known you since you were little sitting in here with your Mother or Father as they got ready to get a tattoo. It would be an honor to start you off in your career."
"But Biggy I wasn't going to start a career with my drawings they aren't good enough."
"Maybe you should try." He said wiping the last of the extra ink off my hip. "Alright all done." He smiled at me leaning back pointing to the mirror. "Go look." I got down from the table and walked over to the mirror.
"Wow Biggy it's perfect." I said looking at the perfect butterfly flying on my pale, now red skin.
"I love the words Bail." He smiled looking over the words written in perfect script as if it was flowing in the breeze.
'Some times you have to spread your wings and just fly away.'

What an inspiring post. Something someone like me as a working mother definitely needs to hear!
What a great essay! Like that she recognizes the variability in life, - in choices women make; in responses of others to her personal choices, etc.
It may be nice if like the author we could all be a bit more gentle with each other and with the choices others make, vs., needing to "prove" our choice is optimal for all.
Nicely written.
Well done conveying the beautiful but messy reality of mixing (rather than separating) motherhood and career. I only wish all careers lent themselves to this kind of "I'm going to do this my way" approach as well as entrepreneurship. It's hard to imagine an investment bank or law firm being okay with an employee bouncing her (or his) baby during client meetings, or a McDonald's cashier with a baby in a sling for that matter. It should be okay, but it's just not. I'm glad this author found a path that allowed her to do what she loves and keep her babies with her while she does it. Wish there were more careers like that.
Well done CK! Megan and I applaud you. You are a beautiful person with a powerful message.
I wish I had the courage that the author has to not worry so much about what other people think, and to do what is right for her and her family. That can be so hard when you're worried about appearances.
Nice article!
Just keep this writing close so you won't forget. I wish you and your daughter lots of love!
You won't fail. Because you'll do it your way and you'll learn from every mistake. And because your little girl will know she's loved and adored.
I remember that particular new mother feeling- that feeling that you knew how it was going to go, you knew when you were going to sleep train your baby and teach them to self soothe and all the other things you had plans for. I was that mother to, the one who knew how it was all going to go. Being a child psychologist, I knew all the theories and I was going to do it "right". HAH! Now ten years and three kids later, I can say that I have many fewer theories, but one new one I've learned is that real life often gets in the way of the best laid plans. I'm not saying to the author not to try and "have it all" which is what it sounds like she's sure she can have, but I'm saying not to feel like a failure if you just can't have it all. Colicky babies, blowouts on your couture clothes, fevers, all the normal baby stuff can take more of a toll than you think. I'm not saying not to try, just don't be too disappointed if the real picture looks a lot less like the one you've painted. I wish the author all the best.
Wow, I relate to this so much. I did take 7 or 8 years off with my twins, but I've been struggling getting back in full time and still committing to be a full-time Mom in tech marketing. I give them both my all, and sometimes it makes me frazzled, but I'm just not happy without both. And I don't like to hire out my time with my kids. And I love my work.
Thanks for sharing...
She comes off a little trailblazing here, though I choose to assume she realizes she isn't the first person to have high aspirations--it isn't like the rest of the world didn't try to have their babies along with their dreams of multitasking and success. I agree with lauralake: I'm not saying not to try, just don't be too disappointed if the real picture looks a lot less like the one you've painted. All the best.
I applaud you and all that you do CK! You are such an inspiration to me. As I ran my business with my first on my hip it was a very powerful, humbling time. I loved that the lines between motherhood and business woman were blurry for a few years. It was a good, empowering beginning in my journey into motherhood. Thank you for being the powerful woman and example you are.
Very inspiring, and hopefully something all of us will remember. I hope fathers remember it too. Sometimes I will not go on those important business trips, because my wife and children need me at home. Sometimes I wont take that job at the exciting start-up, or the prestigious firm, because it will take me away from family too much. I will be grateful if I can find something I love to do, but I will support my family--both with my time and my income. Because that is what counts more than all the projects. Sorry, I know this was supposed to be a Mother's Day letter, and bravo to mothers--but I just don't want fathers to forget that they have to make choices and find balances too...(and that, really is the greatest Mother's Day gift we can give...)
Brave words and i feel lots of judgement. Since she has not been there before, I caution the author to see what it's like before she decides for her and her child how life will be. The truth of the matter is that you have to sacrifice and prioritize; you can't have it all and that's ok. To every time there is a season.
Love this, especially the part where she said she'd offend the myopics and militants and do motherhood her own way.
Wow--lauralake and lemon--I disagree. I think the author's whole point is that she won't have the "perfect all," but that she will try to manage her best as do we all. In fact, I find her first-person approach to the topic refreshing as opposed to the didactic philosophizing directed towards mothers and mothering most often espoused by prominent working and non-working moms. Thank you, Ms. LeSeuer, and all the best to you in all your endeavors.
The author has a refreshing message. She is trying to say that she has found her balance with being a mother and an entrepreneur. However, she is unintentionally provocative. By using negative terms such as "I won't hire a nanny" and "I won't serve Jacques Pepin meals", she appears to judge those who do such things. By saying she "won't apologize" she assumes that we all judge her for being a mother. If she sticks with the positive "I will" phrases, her message is much more powerful.
I'm sure this author was a person who scowled and complained about crying babies on planes and in restaurants. And she will be again when her kid too old to be with her all day. I'm sure she'll also expect everyone to be quite around her when her baby is sleeping.
She's another parent that thinks the world should revolve around her kid.
As someone who started her own company while her kids were toddlers and grew that business while her daughters blossomed into fine young women in their 20s, I am applaud the desire, but am appalled at the naivety... and selfishness.
Your kids don't need to be at meetings with you (talk to your mom or friends who are good moms to learn what they do need). Even if your infant can still sleep and explore in your workspace, toddler-time is a whole new ballgame. Most moms will tell you that the work place is the last place they would choose for a playground. Although "going into work with mom" may be fun everyone once in a while, it gets stale for in very short order for the pre-schooler.
It's not just your children. You and your business certainly don't need the distraction that comes from trying to pay attention to both simultaneously... especially in the early days of your organization. I occasionally had to work from home, or take mine into work with me, and I can tell you that you do NOT get as much done when you have your kids in tow. Not only are you less effective (though you don't believe so at the time), your decision-making suffers from the split-focus.
Most importantly, your colleagues and clients do not need to have their productivity reduced and days delayed because you decided to bring your child to work. By doing so, you are effectively saying that your needs as a mom are more important than any of their business goals.
Running your company lets you juggle your days (and nights) so that you never miss a play, ballet recital, ball game, bedtime story time or anything else that is important to your child. You can really be there for your child and forge fabulous bonds with your children (I know I did), but your business also needs the same kind of love and attention if you want it to bloom.
By mixing your focus, no one gets the attention needed to thrive – and you may not get taken seriously as an entrepreneur. I wish you well - truly I do.
P.S. Contrary to what you say, spelling and grammar do count – and can affect how your brand is viewed. You may not care, but many of your clients do. If you don't care enough about your business to check those simple details, they may wonder what other necessary work-related details you dismiss.
I love this piece. Reading through it, it felt so personal. The title of the piece immediately starts the tone of the work, and leads us to believe this is a letter or journal entry. The vulnerability of mentioning her own mistakes and her efforts to try and learn from those makes her relatable. No one is perfect, and she is making it clear that she is just trying to do her best, and not lose sight of the value of her mother and daughter relationship. I don't see judgement in this piece at all. Her reference to never hiring a nanny isn't because she frowns on those who do, but rather highlights how valued those small moments are to her and her daughter. She is taking time to make messes and meals together with her daughter, which will be memories that both she and her child will have for the rest of their lives. Her love for her daughter and the sincerity in her words brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing!
very touching essay - i enjoyed reading it. my children, now 9 and 12, inspired me to create our line of plastic-free bentos and bags, they've tested the products, helped design the products, endured too many meetings waiting, traveled to fun places and not so fun places with me on business and are definitely soaking up what it means to be an entrepreneur - the positive side of having a flexible schedule and the huge challenges/heavy work load as counter balance. i wouldn't have it any other way. thank you again for sharing your experience.
The author's naïveté is refreshing. She forgot to mention how she's going to do all of this with a lack of sleep! Welcome to motherhood!
It's a nice dream...good luck!
From what I read in an earlier article, she's already a mother and has been doing it for a while now.
Such a beautiful tribute to your daughter--and to all mothers for Mother's Day. This acknowledges how mundane and difficult mothering can be, but how the love transcends that.
despite what some may believe you can not "have it all". there are only 24 hours a day and somewhere you will be lacking. this letter is a great start for this working mother but I am really interested in the letter she will write when that baby is a toddler. now THAT would be an interesting read.
I like this author's confidence to do what she feels good about, regardless of the judgements of others. I wish we women would be less judgmental and more supportive of each others' parenting and career decisions. It's not an easy juggling act for anyone. I feel like the author is open to tweaking the path as she goes along, and learning as she goes. Athelia, I wish you the best of luck in figuring it all out and charting your own path!
What a beautiful description of what your journey through motherhood has been. It's difficult to juggle the roles of life that we have. Bravo on having patience with yourself. I hope all of us can do the same as we take on the responsibilities and roles of our lives.
Ahhhh, words of wisdom from a brand new parent. Wait until the child becomes a toddler! It becomes a whole different story! But I do admire the love portrayed in the essay- very sweet and innocent. However, as some others pointed out : somewhat naive. Blissfull ignorance. In all honesty, best of luck to you and your family. Very refreshing article. (From someone who's been there- Mother of three who juggles motherhood, being a wife and a small business)
Where's Dad?
You know what, honey? You do it. Don't you listen to anyone telling you, "Just you wait until you have a toddler."
You make your plans. You put them in action. You change them as you need to.
You are going to ROCK motherhood, and my guess is you're going to turn some heads doing it.
You are an inspiration to those of us that went along like sheeple in conforming to the norm. Your daughter will be so much better for being at the center of your life. She will have confidence that will help her make a huge difference in this world!
Interesting read. A couple of quick thoughts. I'm glad the owner of the business I work for decided not to raise her child at work. I respect that at work she is focused and available and when not at work she is unavailable and focused on her family. I respect that as an owner she may have more flexibility than others to juggle her schedule. I hope you are considerate of your employees with children. Chances are, they would prefer to be home with their kids and inevitable delays caused by your efforts to juggle a child and a business in the workplace may reduce their productivity and ability to spend more time at home - or take less work home. There is a big difference between having your child present and being present in your child's life. Part of maturing is realizing often two things that bring happiness and fulfillment on their own, provide neither when combined - for everyone involved. Blend wisely and be considerate in your ambition I wish you success.

Warner becomes SA's chief tormentorComment on this story
PRETORIA - David Warner took over from Mitchell Johnson as South Africa's tormentor-in-chief as the Australian opener blitzed a quickfire century to extend his team's huge lead on the third day of the first test on Friday.
Australia closed the day 479 runs ahead of their hosts at 288 for three in their second innings, a massive lead with two days still to play.
Warner was dropped three times in a characteristically cavalier 115 off 151 balls and featured in a partnership of 205 runs for the second wicket with Alex Doolan.
Asked by reporters if he had ever had so many let-offs, Warner said: "Probably in the backyard cricket really it's good have a little luck on your side.
"It was a hard wicket to play defensively on, so I felt it was better to play aggressively," Warner added.
Doolan fell 11 runs short of a debut test century, caught behind by wicketkeeper AB de Villiers off part-time spinner JP Duminy in the last hour of the day.
Shaun Marsh (44) and Michael Clarke (17) will resume on the fourth day as Australia dominated again following a seven-wicket haul for Johnson who helped bowl out South Africa for 206 in their first innings before lunch.
South Africa paid a heavy price for dropping Warner when he was on 27 when substitute fielder Dean Elgar spilled a high one in the deep and when two wild slashes provided top edges for the slips that Alviro Petersen and Graeme Smith got hands to but could not hold.
Warner and Doolan, whose 89 runs came off 154 balls, piled on the agony for the top-ranked test side, whose ordinary bowling was matched by uncharacteristically sloppy fielding.
Earlier, Johnson scythed through the batting order as he took three more wickets on the third day to end with a figures of seven for 68.
Only De Villiers provided any resistance with a defiant 91 that ensured the follow-on target was passed but South Africa's hopes of batting on to lunch ended as he was caught trying to blast a slower ball from Johnson back over the bowler's head.
"We are certainly not going to give up," De Villiers told reporters.
"Obviously we are in trouble. There has been only one team in this match and it hasn't been us.
"We know the declaration cannot be too far away and if we can get through the new ball, then it does get notably easier. We are going to need a big fight tomorrow and on day five," he added.
South Africa made an early breakthrough with the wicket of opener Chris Rogers (1) in the second over as he was bowled by Dale Steyn but after that were put to the sword by Warner and Doolan.
Warner was the second wicket to fall 205 runs later when his swashbuckling knock ended tamely with a catch at first slip off spinner Peterson.

Riders competing in the Nelson Tsosie Memorial Bull Riding Competition at the N/N Arena in Fruitland Indian Service Road 36, ranged from small children to young adults. The day included mutton busting and calf and steer riding. It ended with a bull riding competition.
"I'm really thankful that cowboys still remember my brother," said Brenda Charley, Tsosie's older sister. "Some of the younger riders, my brother would teach them how to ride."
Tsosie died in April 2010 after falling about 100 feet off a mesa in Sanostee, according to a Daily Times article about his death. He was 23.
Tsosie, a 2005 graduate of Farmington High School, was a two-time Indian National Finals Rodeo bareback world champion. He competed for three years in the Professional Bull Riding Toughest Cowboy contest. He was the contest's first American Indian rider.
"I looked up to him when I was riding," said Bryan Bitsui, 20, who participated in Saturday's event. "He made me want to ride. I remember his jokes. He was a pretty funny guy."
The event was especially poignant for one of Tsosie's closest friends, Ryan Bitsui.
"It's nice to see a lot of guys that looked up to him," he said. "I miss just being in his presence. We were practically like brothers. I just miss being around him. He did a lot.
Ryan Bitsui remembers how happy and excited the community was when Tsosie made it into the Toughest Cowboy competition.
"He called me up from New York to tell me that he made it," he said. "I was just so happy for him."
But Tsosie's most lasting impression was his dedication to his family, friends, community and heritage, said Ryan Bitsui.
"Even as far as he went, he was still a very spiritual guy," he said.

Bryan's police chief will begin his retirement a couple of weeks early. But he's not going anywhere just yet.
Chief Mike Strope had originally planned to retire in August. But the city announced Tuesday his last fulltime day on the job will be July 18. However, Strope will remain in a temporary capacity until a new police chief is named. That announcement is expected to be made sometime this fall.
Rumors had circulated earlier this summer that Strope was quitting his job, but at the time, Strope said the rumors were false. But he added that he would likely be leaving BPD earlier than expected.
Strope joined the Bryan Police Department in a advisory capacity in February 2003. Six months later, he was hired as the city's fulltime chief.

[Verse 1]
Cause I'm living for today, trying not to drown in a bottle
Death all around me, drugs seem to numb me
Mental's getting sicker, the Devil's getting comfy
Acupuncture with the smoke like I'm Mason Storm
Legs crossed like a Buddhist, smoking Buddha
Angry tuna, chilling, getting brain from Uma
Used to lose, now everybody kangaroos
Hop off the schnitzel, see me on Kissena
Smoke the marijueena, always been the same guy
Whether balling on a yacht, or hauling from the cops
I'm flooring on the Fox, 'til I'm swelled up in a box
All you gotta do is see me when you see me
I'm burning bitches from the TV like a CD
I'm trynna live the life in 3D
So you could nibble on my pee-pee
We out in Fiji
From having money on my mind to having money in my pocket
Bone marrow roasted
Spread it on the rosemary bread, lightly toasted
Drizzle with the vinaigrette
Stuffed Duchess and it's pulling like a cigarette
[Verse 2]
Until I'm tan skinned, bitches saying that I'm handsome
'Bout to be up on the screen like Ted Danson
Suede loincloth, never fall off
Mr. Wonderful, Paul Orndorff
Leather jacket, knee length
Peace to people getting money in the 80's with the freebase
First time, you get a free taste
That's the start of a career chase, I'm eating cheese plate
Skirt steak shaved straight up off the diaphragm
Muay Thai title fights out in Thailand
I spit the fly shit, accompanied by fly bank
Use the flows that have me diving up in thighs tan
Purple rain, no Prince, summer solstice
Dope body, but her pussy's like an old fish
The antipasti is a cold dish
Yo, I'm focused, catch me out in London speaking Polish

Zille lashes AG over audit into R10.3bn feesComment on this story
Western Cape premier and DA leader Helen Zille has questioned the timing of the release of an audit report into the Western Cape government's use of consultants, demanding a public explanation.
Auditor-General Kimi Makwetu's report revealed that the Western Cape government spent R10.3 billion on consultants between 2008 and 2011, and accused it of flouting several tender regulations.
The report also claimed the provincial government did not have proper policies in place on the use of consultants, and was therefore unable to determine whether it received value for money in hiring them.
The Western Cape is the second provincial government to be slated by the auditor-general for the excessive use of consultants. The Sunday Independent recently reported how the Free State provincial government was also criticised for spending of more than R2.1bn on consultants over a three-year period.
According to the auditor-general's report, the Western Cape had spent more funds than any other provincial government on consultants during the same period.
The provincial health department and the roads and transport department were the specific entities audited by the auditor-general.
The auditor-general scrutinised contracts signed with consultants by the provincial government's transport and health departments, before and after the DA took control of the Western Cape in 2009.
But Zille has questioned why the report is only being released now when the probe was carried out a long time ago.
She also questioned the auditor-general's use of the term "consultants", saying the auditor-general grouped all contractors and service providers under this term, which was open to misinterpretation.
"This audit looks at consultants appointed by provincial governments from 2008 to 2010.
"It is interesting that it would be released just before an election.
"The first draft, in the Western Cape, did not indicate that 97 percent of the amount contracted to consultants occurred under the ANC, before the DA entered government in the province in 2009.
"It is legitimate to question timing when a report is released five years after it was commissioned," she said.
Makwetu's spokesman, Africa Boso, said the auditor-general would not respond to Zille and that his responses were in the report. Zille said the contracts in question were valid and had to be seen through despite the DA taking over the provincial government in 2009.
"The focus should be on how much money the ANC spends on consultants, and how much this amount drops when the DA comes into office.
"These were legal contracts. We believe they were unnecessary, but this does not render them illegal," she said.
In her comments to the auditor-general, she said the concerned departments had been requested to respond on the same report in 2010.
"It is clear that this report is not a true reflection of the Western Cape government's use of consultants since coming into power in 2009 and we are extremely concerned about the fact that the auditor-general has decided to publish this extremely outdated report now."
Among the contracts audited were a R80 million contract for event operations management services for the 2010 World Cup, which included the development of a provincial transportation plan.
According to the auditor-general, the consultant appointed used fewer international staff than had been proposed, and the consultant's work was not being properly monitored.
The auditor-general estimated that the contract amount could have been reduced by about R6.5m, but this was not done as the contract was not being properly monitored.
He concluded that the department received "limited benefit" for the amount it paid to the consultant.

On Tuesday, at a Ramen take-out place in Narita, Japan, 41-year-old Shouichi Ishii walked in, pulled out a giant KNIFE, and demanded everything in the cash register.
And what was the FIRST thing at least two of the customers in the restaurant did? They took cell phone photos and TWEETED about the robbery.
Fortunately, SOMEONE decided calling the cops was more important than tweeting.
Ishii got about $2,500 . . . but the cops grabbed him in the parking lot. He was arrested, and no one was hurt.
A lot of people online are shocked someone would live-tweet a robbery instead of calling the cops, but think about it: Tweeting the photo instantly communicates the crime to a lot of people.
And it's also easier and less dangerous than making a PHONE CALL when a robber with a giant knife is five feet away. Plus, why does more than one person have to call the police?

The same Common Law Court that tried and sentenced his predecessor and other church and state officials has today issued an Arrest Warrant against the first Jesuit Pope in history, Jorge Mario Bergoglio.
A signed and sealed copy of the Warrant is attached, and the text follows.
The Argentinian prelate assumed criminal liability and became subject to immediate arrest by occupying the Papal seat in the wake of the conviction of the Vatican as a criminal organization on February 25, 2013.
Bergoglio's role in the death of Argentinian citizens during that country's "Dirty War" and in the trafficking of the children of political prisoners also compelled the International Common Law Court of Justice to issue the Warrant today, which is one year in duration.
"The Pope is the head of a predatory power that is waging an undeclared, centuries-old war against the entire non-Catholic world""Since we and our children are being assaulted by a corporation that is a law unto itself, we have the right to defend ourselves and detain or stop altogether those responsible, as in any war".

First of all, let me say I am NOt flaming anyone here.
But to add to what Picasso wrote -
I see so many scapers with trucks that are SO incorrectly speced.....it's not funny.
My old man used to own a GMC truck dealership in PA many years ago. At that time they were the 7th largest GMC dealership in the United States. Well...back in 1997 I went out on my own and bought a 3500HD stake body with a 12' bed. ON A 5' CAB TO AXLE!!!! I never asked my dad for his opinion on the truck before buying it.
After I bought it he took one look at the truck, and another look at the 12' body, then asked me to get the tape measure. He had me put the tape on the rear corner of the cab and he pulled the tape to the center of the rear axle. He said "DVS, you're going to eat front tires, you have a 12' bed on a 5' cab to axle". I didn't understand what he was talking about and I just blew it off.
Well sure enough! The front tires started cupping!
I see landscape stake bodies all the time with incorrect weight distrubition. Think of the bed as a teeter-totter filled with water. When that bed is filled with water, will all the weight be on the rear axle, lifting the front of the truck up and cupping the front tires, or will all the weight be distrubuted appropriately on both axles???
Landscapers like their locker boxes on their work trucks. But, if all the calculations are not done, those lockers can cause you to eat front tires, as when loaded with soil, sand, or gravel - all the weight will be at the rear of the frame, thus causing the headlights to shine in the tree tops, thus causing the front tires to cup.
I saw a scaper last week in our area driving his new 1 ton dump! Boy I bet he's proud of that truck! The bed was filled with soil, and man, that front end was as high up as it could go!!
There is much more to buying work trucks other than whether it has a diesel or a gasser. So much more than how many yards of mulch you can carry.
Some things to take into consideration are:
- Frame strength. (I'd hate to see our F-650 get in a accident!)
- Transmission Size
- Gear ratio
- Cab to axle measurement. Will the weight be distributed correctly?

- The Wall Street Journal – Jon Hilsenrath: Fed Hawks Speak Out Against QE3
The Federal Reserve's "hawks" are speaking out against additional action by the central bank to spur the economy. The Fed has moved despite this group's opposition before. Thus, the comments now don't represent a signal from the central bank that it is backing away from its statement earlier this month that it might act. But the remarks do highlight the complicated decision Fed policy makers face as they consider whether to launch a new bond-buying program, known as quantitative easing, at their meeting next month. Charles Plosser, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, said in an interview Wednesday with The Wall Street Journal that additional action by the Fed would be of minimal long-term benefit to the economy. Moreover, he said, the Fed could do little on its own to address problems out of its control which are holding back growth, including public uncertainty about government budgets in Europe and the U.S. "I'm very dubious. There are diminishing returns to these actions," Mr. Plosser said. "The evidence is not strong that somehow more (bond purchases) are going to help the unemployment rate move faster to where we'd like it to be. I don't see that there's much benefit." He cited research by Johns Hopkins economist Jonathan Wright which shows the effects of Fed bond-buying, though initially stimulative, tend to wane within just a few months.
Jon "Fed Wire" Hilsenrath spoke again yesterday. We believe the highlighted part above is the most important passage of the story. Statements by the hawks like Fisher and Plosser do not represent a change in Federal Reserve policy. So, treat them like the crazy uncles at the family get-together and understand the rest of the family (FOMC) is still on board for more QE.
Hilsenrath publishes two types of stories. One type is the general news story about the economy or an explanation of FOMC policy. The other type typically carries a message directly from the Federal Reserve. The highlighted passage above suggests this is the latter. We do not believe Hilsenrath has gone rogue and writing this without Bernanke's knowledge. We believe he was prompted to write this story after a conversation with someone at the Federal Reserve.
Hilsenrath has published 6 to 8 stories since March promising more QE is on the table. At some point the Federal Reserve has to stop making promises and actually take action.
- MarketWatch – Fed hawks attack idea of more bond buys
The hawks on the Federal Reserve are flapping their wings — or more precisely, gums — and they aren't happy.
In various interviews and appearances around the country, most of the bank presidents have gone out of their way to get one point across: more quantitative easing won't work. "Is there anyone not borrowing today or purchasing a house because interest rates aren't low enough?" asked Kansas City Fed President Esther George during an appearance at a business event in Kansas City. "Do we expect that businesses will hire if their long-term rates are lower?" she said, according to an account of her remarks in the Kansas City Star.
- Bloomberg.com – Kocherlakota Says FOMC Goes Too Far With 2014 Rate Pledge
Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Narayana Kocherlakota said he believes the Federal Open Market Committee has gone too far by pledging to hold the main interest rate near zero at least through late 2014. "I would not have chosen to put that date as far out as the committee has chosen," Kocherlakota said in response to an audience question after a speech today in Williston, North Dakota. The policy-setting FOMC repeated on Aug. 1 that it expects economic conditions to warrant unusually low interest rates, while saying it's prepared if necessary to increase stimulus to reduce unemployment. Policy makers are next scheduled to meet Sept. 12-13.

We have high hopes that Excellence Academy will provide great opportunities for the students it enrolls.
As the city's first charter school, organizers have faced a long road just to get to this stage: 239 students enrolled for classes in a building that currently has wiring and framing inside and a pending court challenge of a Board of Adjustment denial of their zoning application.
The intended opening date is Sept. 3, several weeks after Monroe City Schools start their academic year.
Louisiana Association of Public Charter Schools executive director Caroline Roemer Shirley believes parents of students at Excellence Academy should know the school's "Plan B" if its building is not cleared for occupancy by its intended opening date.
Shirley said while it is not uncommon for charter schools to struggle up until the last moment with facilities completion, a clearer, more detailed process for the student transition and charter opening should have been in place.
We would agree that's an issue.
We've all done renovation projects, and it's likely Excellence Academy spokesman Roosevelt Wright is being optimistic when he says the building is 10 to 12 days away from being completed, although it could be completed by the projected opening date.
But resolving the political hurdles and obtaining the final approvals such as appropriate zoning, building inspections and fire marshal clearance may take longer.
Monroe Superintendent Brent Vidrine said if the students who committed to Excellence Academy don't have a school to attend, there would be complications in the public school system.
"Our biggest concern is staffing and adequate space at Monroe City Schools," he said. "We have already staffed based on these students attending another school."
However, we don't see returning the students to Monroe City Schools as the solution, and we believe Wright is resourceful enough to develop a temporary plan - even teaching students in his church - if necessary.
However, the academy, the school system and the state Department of Education need to determine what acceptable and safe options are available for these 239 children if Excellence is delayed or stymied in its opening, and communicate those options to parents and the community.
The point of the charter and school vouchers is to give students attending failing schools an opportunity to attain a good education. Other communities and the Department of Education already have been burned by failing charters and voucher schools that have not lived up to those expectations, so we do not expect the DOE to sit idly by.
It's time for these parties to come to the table and come up with a "Plan B."

Eagle Undergraduate Mathematics Conference 2014

Plenary Talk: Knots vs. Graphs an Epic Tale of Survival (and a New Direction to the Tale) by Hugh Howards
A famous result of John Conway and Cameron Gordon shows that the complete graph on 6 vertices is "intrinsically linked" because it contains a link inside of it no matter how it is placed in space. Their paper is extremely accessible and has been used in countless undergraduate research projects. We review Conway and Gordon's work as well as subsequent results and then put a new twist on the question asking if directed graphs are ever intrinsically linked. Jointly with Joel Foisy and my student Natalie Rich we find both surprising positive and negative results. No background in graph theory or knot theory is necessary to understand the talk.

The borough's proposed plastic bag ban has been bagged.
Efforts to ban plastic grocery bags as a way to reduce litter and help the environment did the legislative equivalent of dying on the operating table when no one on the Borough Council supported the proposal to bring it to a vote Monday night.

Background processes to show in iPhone 3.0?
updated 03:15 pm EST, Tue February 3, 2009
Bkgrnd Apps in iPhone 3
Apple may give iPhones true but controlled support for background apps with a major revision of the operating system, a claim from MacRumors suggests. Pointing to one or more unnamed source, the site says the delay in implementing the long-delayed background push notification feature promised at last year's WWDC may transform into a true background app process that lets users choose which software stays open as they switch to other tasks; Apple's proposed solution would only allow a channel of network data to be sent to individual programs.
At present, the iPhone must automatically close most apps and only allows certain of Apple's own services to run in the background, such as e-mail checks and music playback. The interface is often cited as the primary reason for the limit, as it doesn't include buttons or shortcuts to switch apps without closing. When justifying the its since-stalled background push notification efforts, Apple didn't overly reject the notion of running background apps but criticized operating systems like Windows Mobile for poor management that necessitated a dedicated task manager to close programs.
While background push notification enables instant messaging software and some other apps to remain effective, programs that need a constant connection like IRC clients or streaming radio need to remain fully active to be effective.
It's not known whether the feature would be enabled for all iPhones in a future firmware revision, such as 3.0, or only for future models. While Apple has never commented on any hardware limitations for its own product, most observers believe the current iPhone lacks enough processing power and RAM to run more than a small number of programs at a time. Apple's next iPhone is widely believed to be getting performance upgrades that could include a new ARM processor and more memory, neither of which has changed since the original model's debut in 2007.
True background apps may be necessary to fend off competition from rivals moving towards more advanced touchscreen smartphones, particularly the Palm Pre. The new handset's webOS has a similar interface approach but uses its center button and gesture shortcuts to let users close or change apps regardless of what's running.

Literacy Partners of Kewaunee County will begin its sixth year in April training volunteers to tutor county residents. People who have an hour or two to volunteer tutoring someone are encouraged to consider taking the organization's 14-hour training program.
Volunteers need not be teachers to participate. LP supplies the training, materials and personal backup. Tutors will help an adult learn to read, write and speak English, obtain a GED or U.S. citizenship, or advance their employment.
Literacy Partners reaches out to anyone who wants to improve their lives through education, even if it is the ability of a parent to read a story to their child for the first time. Students are adults who need a little help to reach their full potential.
"Tutoring does not only enhance the life of the student or student's family," said Maureen Kinnan, president of the LP board. "The tutor is also a beneficiary of this interaction. We are exposed to different cultures and many different life experiences through our students."
For more information about the program, call Bob Garfinkel at (920) 845-2516 or visit www.literacykewaunee.org. Tutor training starts soon.
