Obama Urges Export-Import Bank to Up Small-Firm Loans
U.S. President Barack Obama wants the Export-Import Bank to increase export financing for small- and mid-sized businesses and is proposing that the amount of credit available be increased to $6 billion in the next year, Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said Thursday.
The proposed increase from $4 billion is part of Obama's plan to double exports over the next five years, an effort being organized by the Commerce Department.
"Export-Import's increased activity will dovetail with the administration's other credit expansion efforts, including President Obama's recent proposal to redirect $30 billion in repaid TARP loans to boost lending to small businesses," he said.
Locke spoke at a press conference where he unveiled Obama's National Export Initiative, created to boost export promotion and assist U.S. businesses in tapping into foreign markets.
"This initiative will correct an economic blind spot that has allowed other countries to slowly chip away at the United States's international competitiveness," Locke said.
The export initiative pulls together leaders from the Small Business Administration, the Export-Import Bank, and the U.S. Trade Representative and officials from the Commerce, State and Agriculture departments. This group, dubbed the Export Promotion Cabinet, will pool initiatives and submit a detailed export-promotion strategy to the president.
"While the U.S. is a major exporter, we are underperforming. U.S. exports as a percentage of GDP growth are still below nearly all of our major economic competitors," he said.
Some administration critics have characterized Obama's plan to double exports over five years as too ambitious. Locke said while the administration does not have sector-by-sector goals, the export initiative should be seen as a holistic approach.
Nonetheless, this is the first time the White House has given direct, cabinet-level attention to such an effort, the Commerce chief said. Obama's export initiative "will ensure that commercial advocacy objectives get governmentwide support and that we do a more effective job of advocating for U.S. products in our interaction with U.S. and foreign businesses, farmers and foreign officials," he said.
Broadly, the initiative has three focus areas: educating more U.S. companies about opportunities to expand abroad and directly connecting companies with new customers, improving access to credit for those small and medium-sized businesses that want to export, and continuing to rigorously enforce international trade laws "to help remove barriers that prevent U.S. companies from getting free and fair access to foreign markets," the Commerce Department said.
Another key component of the initiative, Locke said, consists of a "rules-based trading system" that reinforces trade laws. Americans and Congress need to feel confident that signed trade agreements will be enforced, he said, noting that administration officials will combat unfair tariff and non-tariff barriers and crack down on "practices that blatantly harm U.S. companies, like the theft of our intellectual property."
He added, "Despite America's remarkable dependence on innovation for future growth, the current system for protecting U.S. intellectual property is fraying at the seams."
The Obama administration's more aggressive strategy on increasing exports is drawing support from the business community, including package delivery company UPS. "Often the biggest challenge, particularly for smaller and mid-sized companies, is finding an effective way to connect with potential customers outside of the United States," UPS Chief Executive Scott Davis said.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said it is pleased with the administration's agenda, and it put forth several ideas to expand trade. Two of the chamber's proposals are passing pending trade agreements with Colombia, Panama and Korea, and negotiating more market-opening accounts, such as the Doha Round and the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Locke said U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk "is working towards an ambitious and balanced Doha Round that provides our exporters new market-access opportunities."
The representative's office will also pursue key growth areas in Asia with the Pacific partnership, which Locke described as "an agreement that could set a new standard for trade agreements with strong labor, environmental and market-access standards."

Successful IT leaders must have the talents, qualities, perspectives, and political skills to support the institution's goals and strategic directions and respond to these business drivers. In addition, they must be aware of trends in the IT field and their implications for higher education. As well as possessing excellent communication and organizational skills, effective IT leaders understand the nature of higher education, the style and context in which decisions are made, and the technology employed.
EDUCAUSE's wealth of resources for IT leaders and managers focus on the environment in which IT leadership takes place, the planning and organizational skills needed to provide institutional leadership, and the individual characteristics required to develop and sustain a career in IT leadership. We encourage you to explore these pages to find articles, books, conference presentations, effective practices, and relevant communities to support your information needs. EDUCAUSE members contribute much of what you will find here. We invite you to submit your work to further enrich the IT management and leadership area.
Successful Leaders and IT Careers: The EDUCAUSE 2015 Award Winners (EDUCAUSE Review November/December 2015)
- Embracing Differentiation and Reclaiming Audacity: An Interview with James Hilton. The multivariant pressure on higher education going forward—over the next five years and beyond—is going to be to get better at telling a story that embraces differentiation.
- On Becoming a Leader: Building Relationships and Creating Communities. The function of a leader is to lead and guide people who will follow with the same values. An effective leader thus must be able to build relationships and create communities.
- The Next-Gen IT Leader. Next-gen IT leaders will need to be purposeful about engaging various segments of their campus communities to build trust, form relationships, and engage in true collaboration.
Today's Higher Education IT Workforce, ECAR Study, January 2014. This ECAR research incorporates results from a comprehensive survey on more than 2,000 IT professionals as well as focus groups to provide a description of the current state of today's IT workforce, how it has changed in the past three years, and what changes may need to be implemented to retain and strengthen IT staff.

The blanket approach — green light given to 'catch-all' insurance notifications
The English High court's decision in McManus & Ors v European Risk Insurance Co indicates that the blanket notification of claims (or of circumstances which might give rise to a claim) is likely to be sufficient to trigger an insurance policy. It also highlights the need for an insured to promptly notify claims or circumstances when they first discover them.
This case concerns an English law firm's (McManus Seddon Runhams) (the Firm) blanket notification to its professional indemnity insurer of circumstances which might give rise to a claim (the Notification Letter). The notification related to of all of the files/matters of another partnership that had recently been acquired by the Firm.
The Firm's professional indemnity policy relevantly required that it notify the insurer of any claim "first made against any Insured during the period of insurance" or any "circumstances of which any Insured first becomes aware during the period of insurance"…

Nic was great in KICK-ASS and KICK-ASS killed.
Da bomb!
I do not agree Nic should be on this list. He's made some recent, good films I admire, like Knowing. Movies and their stars don't all have to be big-budget, Oscar contenders to be interesting, enjoyable films or performances.
Your list is off in soooooo many ways – maybe you should have your journalism card pulled and given back to Cracker Jack!
Yes I hate nic cage he's such a boring actor although he did a good job in Kick Ass but still he does not have a lot of range!
10 people – only 90 more to go to round out the current list. Just about every actor in Hollywood has made bad movies or did a role they just walked thru!
Cage has rescued himself in his role in Kick-Ass, so he doesn't deserve to be in this list anymore.
Nic Cage is the only person that does not deserve to be on this list. His movies are almost always successful.
He was a "villain-turned-into-hero" whose head was a burning skull and rode a motorbike…crappy, crappy movies he has made!
For the amount of talent he has (which is a lot), he's been doing a lot of slumming, but he needs to make money somehow. He's bankrupt.

Which Alicia Keys Oscars Look Is More Fab?
by Fashion
Like us on Facebook
One thing is for sure: Alicia was determined to bring some color to the Oscars red carpet. At the award show, the singer was one of the few to wear color in her lilac Armani Prive gown. Later, at the Vanity Fair soiree, she switched the hue up to yellow. It was chiffon like her first dress, but one-shouldered and with a longer train. You decide, which of Alicia's Oscar looks is more Fab?

Why is there so much heat coming from below?
A visit to an active geothermal area is likely to be very interesting. Some of the most active ones in the U.S. are Yellowstone in Wyoming and Lassen Peak in California. These places are not available for energy production. But the Geysers Geothermal Resource Area in California is used for energy. A magma chamber deep below produces dry superheated steam. This steam can be harnessed.
Geothermal Energy
Geothermal energy stems from Earth's internal heat. Hot springs and geysers are produced by water that is heated by magma or hot rock below the surface.
At a geothermal power plant, engineers drill wells into the hot rocks. Hot water or steam may come up through the wells. Alternatively, water may be put down into the well to be heated. It then comes up. The hot water or steam makes a turbine spin. This makes electricity. Pictured below is an example of a geothermal power plant (Figure below).
A geothermal power plant in operation.
Geothermal Energy as a Resource
Because the hot water or steam can be used directly to make a turbine spin, geothermal energy can be used without processing. Geothermal energy is clean and safe. It is renewable. There will always be hot rocks, and water can be pumped down into a well. There, the water can be heated again to make more steam.
Geothermal energy is an excellent resource in some parts of the world. Iceland gets about one fourth of its electricity from geothermal sources. In the United States, California leads all states in producing geothermal energy. Geothermal energy in California is concentrated in the northern part of the state. The largest plant is in the Geysers Geothermal Resource Area. Geothermal energy is not economical everywhere. Many parts of the world do not have underground sources of heat that are close enough to the surface for building geothermal power plants.
KQED: Geothermal Heats Up
Where Earth's internal heat gets close to the surface, geothermal power is a clean source of energy. In California, The Geysers supplies energy for many nearby homes and businesses. Learn more at: http://science.kqed.org/quest/video/geothermal-heats-up/.
- Most geothermal energy being used now is in regions where hot material comes to the surface.
- Hot rocks are everywhere below Earth's surface. Geothermal energy could be used anywhere with drilling.
- Geothermal energy is clean and does not release greenhouse gases.

|I got to the power rankings a day late this week so this will be for 5 games, with two wins including an overtime win against the Spurs. While watching the Knicks win last night was fun, it makes the back to back against the 76ers and the Twolves two very important games in the tank race.
|Last weeks Rank
|Shved, Alexey
|Shved has been getting to the line more than any other Knick, he's been rebounding, passing, he even hit a bunch of 3's. This has been the easiest pick for #1 in months.
|Galloway, Langston
|A PG who plays defense?!?! Yes please. He may be coming out of his shooting slump as well, which is nice.
|Bargnani, Andrea
|Is there a rule that only 1-2 players at a time can shoot well for the Knicks? As soon as Galloway hits some shots, Bargs starts missing.
|Amundson, Lou
|Lou might have been lower on the list had I done the rankings before last nights game, but I can't argue with 17 rebounds.
|Aldrich, Cole
|He doesn't do much else but man can Cole rebound. Continue reading

2014/15 Knicks Roster Power Rankings – Week 20
|Four games and four losses this week, with 3 of them being disgusting blowouts. It all makes sense when you take a look at the Knicks top 5 players this week. These last 20 games are going to really drag, especially if you're looking forward to arguably the most interesting western conference playoffs we've ever seen.
|Last weeks Rank
|Bargnani, Andrea
|Bargnani looked great in the two games against the Pacers. Like really good. And he didn't look good in the Kings and Nuggets game. Reason 415 why I don't want the Knicks to sign Hibbert, who was held to 3 points and 0-6 shooting. Against Bargs.
|Shved, Alexey
|I am quickly becoming a Shvedhead. He's by far the best on this team at drawing fouls, and he can rebound and pass. He even found his shot against the Nuggets.
|Larkin, Shane
|Larkin had an OK week. He led the team in assists in two of the four games and didn't turn the ball over too much.
|Amundson, Lou
|Lou missed a game with back spasms and then played 14 minutes off the bench and managed to get more rebounds than our starting PF that game (Smith 1 board in 21 minutes).
|Galloway, Langston
|Galloway had 2 decent games but he also managed to get a +/- of -40 against the Kings. How is that even possible? Continue reading

Marc and Jay talk about the rumor Phil Jackson is seeing what he can get for draft picks, Derrick Rose, steroids, the draft, crazy trades, cheap owners, and more
2014/15 Knicks Roster Power Rankings – Week 19
|Well that was unexpected. Just as I was googling "most losses in a row NBA" the Knicks get their first multiple game (2) winning streak of 2015. I give up trying to figure this team out.
|Last weeks Rank
|Bargnani, Andrea
|I never thought in a million years this would happen. The Knicks win a few games and Bargs has been their best player. What in the world is happening?
|Amundson, Lou
|Dunking, blocking, rebounding, Lou was Mr. Intangibles this week.
|Hardaway Jr., Tim
|A good shooting week from THJ! It's been so long since we had a shooting guard that shot well. Please be a turning point and not a fluke.
|Galloway, Langston
|Galloway is not afraid to take a big shot. He has to be the Knicks feel good story of the year.
|Shved, Alexey
|Shved can attack the rim, rebound and pass. If he learned to shoot he'd be an absolute keeper. Continue reading
Episode 286: The Opposite of Tanking
Marc and Jay talk about the Knicks win streak, who's playing well and who isn't right now, free agents to look at, Rajon Rondo, we check in with Derrick Rose, and more
2014/15 Knicks Roster Power Rankings – Week 18
|Melo shut it down. He wasn't resting for the all star game. It was a huge cooincidence that he took off the game before and got surgery two days after. Pablo Prigioni was traded and Alexey Shved joins the team. I don't think we should be asking 'will the Knicks win another game this season'. We should be asking 'will the Knicks cover the spread in any game for the rest of the season'.
|Last weeks Rank
|Galloway, Langston
|Langston ended his one game good shooting streak against the Cavs but got some rebounds and assists to kinda sorta make up for it. Good enough for the #1 spot.
|Calderon, Jose
|Seriously, no one on the team can string together two good games in a row. Jose looked good against Miami…on offense at least. Playing well on one end of the court for 1 game in a row is good enough for the #2 spot.
|Bargnani, Andrea
|Yup, the 3 best players this week were a d-leaguer, a guy who is 33 but plays like he's 38, and Bargnani. That dunk alone would have gotten Bargs into the top 3.
|Wear, Travis
|As predicted, Wear benefits from Melo shutting it down and made the most of it. A pretty solid week from Wear.
|Acy, Quincy
|Is that what I think it is? Yes! A Quincy Acy sighting. There were a whole bunch of random, not very good players that were unchained from the bench after the departure of Amare and Melo. Continue reading
An Open Letter to Amare Stoudemire
Dear Amare,
After witnessing Carmelo have one of the worst All-Star Game performances I have ever seen, in a game he probably shouldn't have even been playing in, I found out your Knicks tenure was coming to an end after you and Knicks had reached a buyout agreement. Initially, I was ecstatic, after a long 4 and a half years, I figured it was best for both parties to just move on. But later that night, I couldn't help to feel a little bit depressed; for the rest of my life, I'll always wonder, what could have been. You had a chance to be on the Mount Rushmore of Knicks big men, but unfortunately I'm not convinced you even crack the top 25 Knicks of all time. You will forever be associated to Allan Houston, another former Knick, who signed a $100 million contract, and failed to live up to expectations.
But unlike in 2001, when we were dumbfounded when Allan Houston signed his $100 million dollar contract, the majority of the Knick fan base (including myself) was openly excited when you signed your deal (even though it was uninsured) in the summer of 2010 and proclaimed, "The Knicks are back." Unlike Allan Houston, you had that it factor; I watched you go toe to toe with Tim Duncan, the greatest power forward to ever play, on several occasions in the playoffs. The fan base could sense the Knicks were heading in a positive direction. I still believe to this day you would have stayed in Phoenix had they offered you the same deal, but we were just glad to have a superstar, it had been almost a decade since Patrick Ewing was infamously traded to Seattle. We had to endure a long two years of horrendous basketball, waiting for this moment. I'll admit, you weren't our first choice; hell you weren't even the second or third choice for some people. Of course, we all wanted Lebron; others preferred, Chris Bosh, or Joe Johnson.
Although I knew there was diminutive chance we'd get Lebron I was still dejected when Lebron, Wade and Bosh decided to construct a potent trio in Miami, but I still maintained on to the idea that hopefully one day, we could form our own trio. Soon after you signed, to my satisfaction, I remember reading rumors about you, Melo, and Chris Paul, joining forces to form a new potent trio. I'll never forget your first season in a Knick uniform; you brought electricity back to the Garden, and was a legitimate MVP candidate. Your two and a half week stretch where you averaged 34 points, and 11 rebs, including nine straight 30-point games, was some of the most superb basketball I've ever seen by someone in a Knick uniform. When the Knicks acquired Melo later that year, your effectiveness was affected, but I was still on cloud nine because the Knicks had reached the playoffs for the first time in seven years.

Episode 285 – Later Amare
Marc and Jay talk about the Amare buyout, all star weekend, Melo shutting it down, the Prigioni trade, all the trade deadline moves and almost 100 listener questions
2014/15 Knicks Roster Power Rankings – Week 17
|Only one game last week because of the all star break. The big news is it was Amares last game as a Knick. He went 0-3 with 5 points, 4 rebounds, 4 fouls, and 3 turnovers. A sad ending for a guy who started out as an MVP candidate just 5 years ago.
|Last weeks Rank
|Smith, Jason
|Can't ignore 25 and 7 on 10-16 shooting. Add in the zero assists and it was a very Melo-esque game.
|Calderon, Jose
|This may be the last week for Calderon in these rankings. Rumor has it the Knicks are trying to move him.
|Prigioni, Pablo
|The Knicks are reportedly also considering moving Pablo. It'll be a sad day in NY if the Knicks move one of their very few likeable players.
|Amundson, Lou
|This team is so bad a guy who had zero points makes it into the top 5.
|Galloway, Langston
|OK, Galloway is going to have to stop shooting like crap or I'm jumping off the bandwagon. Continue reading

Chris Brown, Drake in nightclub brawlComment on this story
A representative for hip-hop star Drake says he was leaving a New York nightclub when a brawl began between fellow singer Chris Brown and others.
A statement released Thursday says Drake did not engage in activity that injured anyone.
Police say five people were injured in the fight, where people from both entourages were throwing bottles. It's not clear what prompted the fight, and no arrests have been made. Neither star was on the scene when police arrived.
Brown tweeted a photo of himself with a cut chin, then removed it, as well as other messages about the fight, including epithets and taunts.
A representative for Brown has not returned a message seeking comment. - Sapa-AP

Can this ring be sized down by a half size? Is it possible to alter this particular ring if it is a little big?
I love this ring. Bought it for myself along with another smaller (2 TCW) eternity band to wear as my wedding bad. The 2 ct ring is nice but not quite as well made, the stones are a little varied in size and setting if you look closely, but THIS RING is amazing. The setting is perfect, the stones are uniform, I checked them with a 10x jewelers loupe and they are as described. It is very sparkly ring and complements my right hand well. It is just as beautiful and sparkly as my engagement ring and wedding bad. Thing ring will appraise for much more..... you will NOT be disappointed. Since the band is narrow, you can probably get a way with half a size smaller than you would order in a band that is wide, so keep that in mind as eternity rings are not able to be sized. I was pleasantly surprised by this ring, and Overstock stands behind their product, has excellent customer service no matter what the issue. BUY WITH CONFIDENCE....
ITEM#: 10715940This gorgeous eternity band features 5 carats of glittering diamonds. The white gold setting sets off the fiery diamonds and adds extra sparkle to this exquisite ring. With a G-H color rating and an I1-I2 clarity rating, these diamonds are truly remarkable. This ring make an amazing wedding band, anniversary band or special piece just to say "I love you."

Beautiful Ring...
The ring is beautiful and truly sparkles. I have looked around and for the price, the quality is very good. I am very pleased with my purchase and look a chance with the online purchase. Glad that I did. I was only disappointed that the ring did not come with a certificate of authenticity.Read More
Very Disappointed with Purchase
This ring looks stunning online and in the photo, and the quality is supposed to be very good by reviewing the online info from Overstock. The ring was dark, and when looking through a magnifying glass, you can clearly see the discoloration and scratches all over the entire ring. Very disappointed, so I returned it. Unfortunately, I had to continue contacting them for the credit as well.Read More
Exceeded Expectation
I purchased this ring after several weeks of reviewing this listing and comparing it to other bands I found from other jewelers. I finally ordered it last week and I couldn't be happier with it! The ring does sparkle and you really have to hunt for the inclusions that earn it the I1-I2 rating. To be honest, I can't find any inclusions without magnification. The color is great for the H-I rating. Definitely tends toward H rather than I. It's sparkly, sizeable, comfortable and a great deal. This is my second Overstock jewelry purchase and must expectations are constantly exceeded.Read More
this ring is gorgeous!
I had been looking for an eternity band for about a year and I when I found this ring, I couldn't believe the price. I had it appraised right after i got it and it appraised for ****. It is absolutely stunning and I couldn't be happier!Read More
Beautiful ring
This ring is a great value and a super deal. Having worked in the jewelry industry for a little while, I was skeptical of the quality claims for this ring. I must say I was surprised when I received the ring and had to study the ring very closely with the naked eye to identify the flaws that earn this ring the "I1-I2" rating. Not to say you can't find the inclusions, but for the money paid you are truly getting a great ring. I didn't give this 5 stars because I believe the value was great, but not a steal. Buy this ring for your wife or... ladies buy it for yourself. You will not be disappointed!Read More
diamond eternity band
This is the most etraordinary ring. I had been wanting for an eternity band for years , when my husband just showed up with this one. The diamonds are to die for.They are top quality and have the most amazing sparkle and color. I dont ever want to take the ring off my finger...Read More
Gorgeous Ring!
I have been looking for an eternity band for a long time. THe ones I had found were either too expensive or the diamonds too small. Although this was a very pricey purchase for me, it was well worth the money!! The diamonds truly sparkle and the size of the diamonds are as shown in the picture, very substantial. My engagement ring has a beautiful clear diamond, I was afraid this ring might not match in clarity and color but it really does! Buying such a substantial jewelry purchase online also really concerned me. The quality of any of the diamonds (earrings, bracelet, necklace) I had previously bought from Overstock was always wonderful so I took the chance. Needless to say, this ring will NOT be returned. I love it. For the price you are paying, this ring is well worth the investment.Read More
Excellent purchase
After having lost my eternity ring last year, I decided it was time to replace it and since I was going on a trip to St. Thomas, V.I. (where they say everyone should buy jewelry), I decided to look there first. I was so disappointed in the quality of diamonds there and insecure about a purchase that I went back to my suite and got on-line with Overstock. I immediately found the ring I was looking for and ordered it. It was delivered incredibly fast and it's absolutely outstanding. The diamonds sparkle beautifully and I certainly cannot see any inclusions in the diamonds and I doubt anyone will be taking out a magnifier to find them. For the price, this ring is an incedible purchase. It feels true to size on my finger and comfortable to wear. What a terrific ring.Read More

There's nothing new about cultural ties between Quebec and Scotland — the roots go back to the "auld alliance" of 1295 between France and Scotland. But the intensity of the relationship ramped up last month, on the eve of the Scottish independence vote.

Inviting the critics to see a new show that is the closing segment of an autobiographical trilogy is one thing.

For local tech entrepreneurs seeking to kick-start projects with a "crowdfunding" infusion, the popular Kickstarter method is increasingly feeling like an uphill struggle.
Some recent Kickstarter campaigns, like SmartThings, fire the imagination of funders and soar to success.
SmartThings, a project to give everyday objects Internet-related features, sought $250,000 but garnered $1,209,423 in pledges from 5,694 "backers" last year. SmartThings was among only 17 of 18,109 successful Kickstarter campaigns in 2012 to top $1 million.
Then there are local Kickstarter projects that struggle and sputter as their deadlines loom. Two Twin Cities campaigns -- the Machook and the Custom Balance Pen -- were nearing their finish lines this week with a diminishing likelihood of success.
And while the reasons for this are not entirely clear, the creators of these and other Twin Cities campaigns wish Kickstarter had not made it arduous for them because of what they regard as onerous rules.
This has been a not-uncommon complaint as Kickstarter has tightened guidelines for accepting crowdfunding campaigns, which are open to contributions from all who study a project page and like what they see.
In September, Kickstarter banned the use of product simulations or photorealistic renderings of what it classifies as "hardware and product-design projects." Candidates promoting tech gadgetry now have to display working prototypes.
"We expect creators to show their work," Kickstarter said at

ARLINGTON, Texas -- It's tough to get three kids on your lap, especially when one is a 15-month-old up way after bedtime.
But Green Bay's Scott Wells did an admirable job of keeping his son Kingston from grabbing the microphone while speaking in coherent sentences during his postgame press conference as a member of the NFL champion Packers.
His wife, Julie, in a personalized NFL shirt with metal spikes and black lace that she calls her rock star jersey, said her offseason just got a little easier. "We just fly right along with it," she said as she ushered Kingston, 7-year-old Jackson and 4-year-old Lola out of the media center.
Sunday in North Texas was about as over-the-top as it comes. Former presidential candidate Jesse Jackson wandered around watching the Steelers give their monotone postgame addresses. As though it were a matter of great importance, singer Christina Aguilera released an official statement to apologize for flubbing a line in the national anthem. And all over town, suits and cowboy hats mingled with face painters and foam cheeseheads.
As I talked to a couple of Packers fans, a Fort Worth sheriff's pickup truck hauling a trailer crept by in clogged traffic near Sundance Square. I peered in the back. "What's a cow doing down here?" I asked.
"Oh, that's not a cow," said Brett Greenfield, a Wisconsin native. He then used his Midwest animal husbandry skills to identify the animal as a Longhorn steer.
Those from dairy land, they know their bovines.
Debbie Ballard watched Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler clamber onto the ESPN set in Sundance Square on Sunday morning. An ambassador for Fort Worth, Ballard was not clear on who the football players they joined were, but that's only because she prefers real men, meaning ones who play hockey.

"He takes a puck to the face, and he's back in the next series," Ballard said. "I heard a [football] player hurt his toe and was out for the rest of the season."
Who can argue with that?
Sisters Terrie Petties and Tanya Reed live in different states, but this Super Bowl was their chance to meet up in Arlington. They grew up in the South, but during that window in the 1970s when you had to pledge allegiance to the Steelers or the Cowboys -- there was no other choice. Terrie had on her black jersey.
Driving up to the stadium, we saw dozens of makeshift parking lots charging from $70 to $150. A couple of businesses offered "free" parking with the purchase of $1,000 in paper clips, or something like that. On the walk into the stadium, I counted a troop of Girl Scouts, two military recruiters and three people who wanted to save eternal souls.
Once inside the stadium, I saw NHL Hall of Famer Mark Messier walking through the main entrance. It was tempting to ask why he was bothering to watch these "athletes" when any second they could be out with turf toe.
Greenfield's best celebrity sighting was Michael Strahan. The Packers fan (and Longhorn expert) said the former Giant was engaging up to a point -- he wouldn't give his pick before the game. Apparently Strahan said Fox pays him too much for that expertise to just dole it out for free.
And to the game.
The logistical problems leading up to the game really couldn't dim the fact that the last football game of the season, and possibly for a longer stretch than usual due to the NFL's labor issues, was a good one. Not the greatest -- there was no Plaxico Burress or Santonio Holmes to make the Steelers' last drive a shocking success -- but it wasn't the blowout you might have thought when the Packers were up 21-3 in the second quarter.
Aaron Rodgers lives up to the hype. Cue the confetti. The redemption talk gets quietly swept to the side to make way for the Packers.
And now, how the heck are we going to fill our Sundays?

Ok so my daughter is 7 years old and I really need to start talking more frankly with her about sex, periods, drugs, and all that jazz.
Just today we had a moment that she was happy and relaxed and not watching TV so I started to try and talk about sex.
She got all upset, put her hands on her ears, and wouldn't let me talk about it.
Is this normal?
How do I get past it?
She does know some basics but not much. I had to explain tampons to her when she walked in on me putting one in when we shared a studio apartment a few months ago. Ick....but in a way I was glad she got a lesson out of it (but in a really embarrassing icky way!).
I never had "the talk" from anyone when I was a child. All I knew about sex I learned from the internet or TV or movies.
I started my periods early - age 9 - so I want her to be prepared.
