Herb, Baby Green and Sprout Gardens The Children's Garden at PS 29
The Children's Garden at PS 29 has the vision of creating a multi fresh culinary herb, baby green and sprout indoor gardens for our school community, our families and our neighbors. Our garden was opened in 2008 and baptized by Mayor Bloomberg as one of the pioneer school gardens in Brooklyn. Our school building was renovated during two long years during which our garden went on an extensive hibernation. It was revived last year and is now in full planning preparation for the upcoming season. Seed germination and potting will take place in our two science rooms Sprouts will be grown in each of our 32 class rooms out of a boost germinator that our students will design and rotate to each class room. Our fresh culinary herb garden will include 18 different herbs - holly basil, chives, dill, tarragon, lavender, lemon balm and verbena, marjoram, thyme, oregano, rosemary, sage, cumin, chamomila, calendula, parsley, cat nip and shiso. Our Baby Green garden will include 24 types- mild and spicy mix (for children to recognize), mustard, beet, Hon tsai Tai, Komatsuna, kale red Russian, cress, sorrel, aragula, scallion, chard, basil, radish Daikon, red cabbage, Amaranth, carrot, spinach, Pac Choi, collard, saltworth, shiso, cilantro and fennel. Our indoor sprout garden will include 15 types : sprout mix (for children to recognize) Oriental mustard, broccoli, onion, buckwheat, beans, alfalfa, radish Chinese rose, fenugreek, radish Daikon, kale red Russian, Nelson, Diablo, Flower Sprouts (mixed bred Brussel sprouts and kale).
The garden is maintained and harvested by a group of volunteers in the summer. Our garden is located on the South East part of our school yard between Kane and Baltic Streets. It is fully visible and enjoyed by general pedestrians on their way to the subway.

It seemed from this angle that the game's balanced changed with Mark Reynold's at bat in the top of the second. Nova had started the inning by allowing consecutive singles to Adam Jones and Matt Wieters. Nova then blew away both Lew Ford and Wilson Betemit on strikeouts. It looked like he was going to get out of the inning as he had Mark Reynolds, one of the most prolific strikeout batters in history, down 0-2 in the count. Nova and Martin had a little conference to decide what the next pitch would be. It would be a terrible decision. Nova threw the flattest of sliders and Reynolds punished it for a ground rule double to left. Here is pictorial proof of how bad that pitch was (from Brooks Baseball):
From there the floodgates opened and Nova could not hold back the flood. Omar Quintanilla singled to score two. Nick Markakis singled and J.J. Hardy walked to load the bases. Then the killer blow happened as Chris Davis hit the top of the Orioles' bullpen wall and the ball bounced over for a grand slam. The five run lead turned into a two run deficit and Nova and the Yankees never recovered.
All in all, Nova pitched five ineffective innings. He gave up ten hits and nine runs with a walk and five strikeouts. Of the ten hits, five were for extra bases to pad Nova's majors leading extra base hits allowed total. Four were doubles and the grand slam. Again from Brooks Baseball, here is Nova's chart for the game. Warning, this chart is not suitable for children:
All those blue squares in the middle of the strike zone speak volumes for how easy Nova made it for the Orioles' batters.
As for the Yankees, Derek Jeter went three for five with a double, a run scored and two infield singles. Every other Yankees' starter had a hit but Jeter was the only one with multiple hits. Curtis Granderson had a single in the first to plate Jeter but then struck out three times and hit into a double play to end the game. Robinson Cano hit a two-run homer in the first as part of the Yankees' five run rally.
Tonight's game was only the seventh occasion this season where the Yankees did not have a single walk in the game. And yet, it was the third time since July 19, when this tough patch started for the Yankees in Oakland.
Phil Hughes will battle Zach Britton in the series finale tomorrow as the Yankees try to salvage one game from this series. The game is an afternoon start and will begin at 1:05.

Match Report: Stoke 1-1 Arsenal
Were I prone to succinctness, I would probably summarise this match as follows:
"Stoke are a bunch of dirty ugly thuggish monkeys, who play ugly thuggish football, and have ugly thuggish fans who make ugly thuggish noises."
I would also probably add this:
"Chris Foy is a cunt!"
– Fin –
However, since I am not getting paid to write summaries, I will elaborate.
(Technically, I am not getting paid at all though)
Here goes:
We drew 1-1 with Stoke at the Shittania. Stoke tried to rough us up here and there, but they were mostly okay. We played well, not terrifically, but were very competitive and looked sharp. A draw was a flattering result for Stoke, but our lack of clear cut chances and attacking options from the bench meant that we had to settle for it.
It was a lively start, with Begovic saving well from a placed shot by Benayoun. Stoke's Bosnadian 'keeper went one better moments later – Rosicky's chipped ball over the top resulted in a powerful downward header from RvP at the far post, and Begovic was down in a flash to save it. Rosicky and RvP would continue to combine well all game.
Usually when we play Stoke, and are dominating, they score almost immediately against the run of play, on the counter. It's usually a headed goal, from one of their rather large strikers. Did that happen today? Yes it did.
In the 9th minute, Stoke broke (haha) down the wing, Etherington crossed, and Peter Crouch stooped down over Vermaelen and Gibbs to plant a great header in at Szczesny's near post. 1-0 to Stoke.
We'd lost on 3 of our last 4 visits to Stoke, and it wouldn't be inaccurate to say that, Stoke's dirty tactics aside, we'd quite often found ourselves unable to compete, some might even say unwilling. That wasn't the case today.
We got straight back at them, and Ramsey (who was very positive all game), struck a left-footed shot just wide.
Moments later though, RvP found a way through. Benayoun did well down the left to harry Shotton and win possession, he found some space, and then played a lovely reverse pass down the line to Rosicky who was making a supporting run from infield. Tomas showed good feet to buy himself some time, and then clipped a dipping, curling cross over the Stoke defence that RvP materialised on the end of. 1-1, with 15 minutes on the clock.
And that was to be it in terms of goals. On a day when there were goals galore in the Premier League (22 goals in 6 games), it was a bit annoying to get score updates popping up on the screen every few minutes, although some of them were quite welcome – Wigan defeating Newcastle 4-0 to put a silver lining on our solitary point.
There was to be one more decent chance before the end of the half – Van Persie played a lovely weighted pass down the right for Sagna who crossed first time for Gervinho. The Ivorian, either completely misjudged the cross or wasn't really interested in it, and failed to make any sort of contact.
This was one of his better games though, and he was full of running throughout the first-half. He looked quick, and played in a more direct and aggressive way than we're used to seeing. His bulbousness and tendency to roam give the impression of him being a balloon that has floated on to the pitch and is kind of drifting around. Maybe it's just me.
The star of the second half was probably Chris Foy. Having had a quite quiet and reasonable first-half, he'd clearly decided that he needed more attention, and set about imposing himself on the game. By "imposing" I mean "being completely incompetent".
I counted a double hattrick of "Chris Foy is a cunt" moments – including denying us 2 penalties, booking Song for his first foul of the game (a minor one at that), and rewarding Dean Whitehead with a free-kick in stoppage time for one of the most RIDICULOUS dives you will see this season. I've heard they don't "dive", so I forget which word you're supposed to use when a British person falls down for no reason and looks pleadingly towards the ref for a free-kick.
The second half was there for the taking, but we unfortunately couldn't take it. Stoke were miserably ineffective and produced nothing apart from a hopeful shot from Cameron Jerome that Szczesny parried easily.
Van Persie struggled to be involved at times, but looked very sharp. His touches under heavy pressure from 2 or 3 Stoke defenders were a joy to watch, and he linked play brilliantly. His only real chance came when he played Sagna in on the right, and Sagna crossed back for him, but his header was straight at Begovic.
Some trickery from Gervinho created a chance for Benayoun, but Shawcross slid in with a tackle before Yossi could shoot. Pony Tulis was probably quite disappointed that Benayoun's legs were intact afterwards, but there you go.
The game had no real flow after that. We had a lot of possession, but couldn't really break through.
With about 20 minutes to go, Foy turned down the first of our two penalty appeals. An RvP freekick was blocked, and Vermaelen's follow up shot hit the arms of Shawcross. The raised arms of Shawcross. The not at all "I am trying my best to avoid a handball situation" raised arms of Shawcross. Watch it here.
What can you say really. Chris Foy is a shite referee, and Stoke are a shite team. It's a match made in heaven. We were just lucky to be there.
With 15 minutes to go, Ramsey was replaced by Diaby. The young Welshman (don't forget he's only 21) was much improved today. Predictably, he was booed the entire game, but it just seemed to spur him on. He was very competitive, very tenacious, and although he still took a few too many touches, he moved the ball around well.
Diaby came on and showed some good feet. Chamakh came on a few minutes later, and it was clear that Arsene was mindful of a late aerial bombardment from Stoke. However, our attack could also have been a factor. With most of our joy coming down the wings, and having had 5 fruitless corners, he probably hoped that Chamakh and Diaby could provide a threat.
In the end, neither really made a difference. Chamakh worked hard, and held the ball up well under pressure – giving RvP some space to roam, but offered no threat.
In between, Benayoun was clearly shoved in the box when latching onto an RvP layoff. Foy had a great view of it, but that means nothing really, because he's a total prick.
And that was that. The match petered out really. RvP won another free-kick, which he laid off to Vermaelen, whose powerful low drive was inches wide.
Down the other end, Cameron Jerome broke free and hit a hard, hopeful shot that Szczesny parried away. Our young Polish 'keeper was an absolute boss in this game. He dominated everything, punching well, and took one absolutely brilliant catch on the edge of our box midway through the first-half – poleaxing everything in his way, including the unfortunate Laurent Koscielny.
Rory Delap made a cameo appearance late on. From the importance accorded to him by the commentators, and the reception he got, you would have thought he was a former World Cup and Balon d'Or winner coming on to try and introduce a bit of magic off the bench in his twilight years. He takes throw-ins. That's it.
He took a throw-in. It was defended. That was about all he did. His like-for-like tactical replacement in the team, Ryan Shotton, was equally ineffective. If Ryan Shotton is the new Rory Delap, he (A) Doesn't have much to live up to, and (B) Isn't very good at whatever that is.
There was a reasonable 4 minutes of stoppage time, but it was uneventful. There was a late chance for Jon Walters, but he's not very good, and it went well wide. Dean Whitehead then produced his ballet extravaganza to eat up a few more minutes, and we didn't really look capable of producing anything more.
But there was still time for an Abou Diaby special. Our gangly sometimes-footballer, sometimes mythological-creature jinked past 2 challenges and 3 Stoke players on the left touchline before pulling up with what seemed to be a hamstring injury. It was always a risk to play Abou in a game of this physical intensity, but this wasn't the kind of injury that we were expecting. Let's hope it's only minor.
In the end, a point and no injuries to our key players is an OK outcome. Newcastle's loss to Wigan makes it a little bit sweeter, and although we still need to win our 2 remaining games to be sure of 3rd place, the toughest part of our run-in is out of the way.
!ersA eht pU
May be a tidy point. Definitely a hard fought one.
Thought Ramsey had a decent game and we looked a little less composed when he came off. Good for him in the 1st half when he slammed into that 50/50 with some cunt.
When's all's said and done though, Stoke are despicable cunts, they really are.

A point at that hell hole is a good result for most any team. Was particularly impressed by verminator and bosscielny dominating the air duels and generally bossing things against those colossal cunts. Bar the goal I think they came out on top every time and were not found wanting in the physical challenges at all, great stuff. Can't afford to drop anymore points though, no need for anymore squeaky bum time this season!

Not too bad in the grand scheme of things! But I think we're suffering from a little bit of quality now in the final third. We need a game-breaker of a midfield signing to help unlock stubborn tight defences.

It seemed as though AW was testing a potential RvP chamakh partnership today… I think IF we do switch back to our old 4-4-2 RvP should stay the main front man, he's more than shown his goal scoring prowess and was more than able to compete in the air against stokes giants.

Lack of a quality goal scorer from the bench is hurting us a bit now. That said 1 each isn't a bad result against stoke, really don't want to go into the WBA game needing a win as historically we don't fare well in our last game of the season. Hopefully we will beat Norwich and the others may drop a few points. Going to be a long few weeks.

Well done boys well done Rambo- pity he didn't score but brave tenacious play. Looked like some form and confidence had returned. Why boo him- zero class from Stoke fans …fucking idiots. Wigan did us a favour as well so all in all happy with today.

Well he did ruthlessly throw his leg at Ryan he's-not-that-sort-of-player Shawcross. Could've done untold damage to poor Ryan's studs that.

Talking of "classless bonehead inbred wankers" here's what Pubis said when asked about the Ramsey booing: "I was more concerned about the Arsenal supporters booing Shawcross so I didn't hear the ones on Ramsey."

Decent point away to stoke, would have taken it before the game. Never know when Sauroncross and his bunch of wraiths will strike, but the fellowship did a decent job in containing them. I'm kindof hoping for Newcastle to get 4th… and Chelsea to lose to Bayern.

Not a terrible result, especially considering that this was our hardest game of the last three and that we are now 4 points(albeit they have a game in hand) ahead of our closest challengers, who are yet to face City and Chelsea. Just do a professional job in the last two games and third's ours. Also, one other thing, I sometimes think Blogs and people on this blog throw the word cunt around a lot (probably for comedic purposes, well what do I know?) but really I think cunt is not nearly a strong enough word to describe the Stoke fans. Hearing them jeer Ramsey was absolutely uncalled for. Here is a player who nearly had his young career ended (and one and a half years of development permanently removed) and all they can do is call him a wanker!? Ramsey's performance was good, but I hope that he doesn't take this incident to heart and just ignore those buffoonish attention seeking Neanderthals.
23 1
I absolutely agree…whether they were trying to unnerve him or whatever, their actions are just despicable and unwarranted…'twas all the more reason why i think he played really well. He was confident, positive, showed us a bit of his old self…

Terrible result, actually.
We should have won here. Simple as that. We should be out right now, celebrating St Totteridge day, and instead we're only still in the race because every other team around us is absolutely shit.
We're really, really, really lucky that we still have CL football to play for. Any other teams, any other season, we'd be in 7th right now and rightfully so.
Still. Positives? Nice to see RvP score again in open play. Ramsey and Rosicky were blinding, some great plays. Everyone else was, once again, mediocre.
Fuck Stoke though for their booing. Fuck them right in the ear. When they get relegated I'll be so fucking happy I'll ride through the shitty town and rub my testicles all over tp's face.
Rant over. Come on Blackburn.

Terrible result, actually………Actually Red Carrot a decent result in a horrible stadium filled with morons and against a team bent on crucifying anyone who has the effrontery to try and play real Football.
We should have won here……Yes, and at QPR and against Chealski etc. but only the Incincibles won every game, we are clearly not them.
We should be out right now, celebrating St Totteridge day, and instead we're only still in the race because every other team around us is absolutely shit. we will celebrate St.Totteringham's Day, just a little later so be patient. I do agree that our competitors are shit this year but that doesn't make us shit or even mediocre…we also have more injured players out that any other team and yet we are in 3rd and looking good to stay there.
We're really, really, really lucky that we still have CL football to play for. Any other teams, any other season, we'd be in 7th right now and rightfully so….This is the biggest load of bullshit nonsense I've ever heard from a Gooner. In any other season we'd come either 2nd,3rd or at worse 4th and we haven't been near 7th in 14 years so stop your negativism and enjoy what's left of the seasoné

No need for the swearing mate, I'm not one of the "Wenger Out" brigade or the Football Managers who scream about how many new signings we need.
It's not being negative to say that we should have got three points here. It's not being negative to say that we're still in this because other teams have slipped up. It's not being negative to say that I wish we'd secured CL qualifying today. Fact is, we HAVE slipped again, and I hope the team will address that. For all our good work recently, we've only won 6 in 10, with two losses – Manchester United have only lost 4 all season. If we want to be better next season – and Lord knows, we all want that – then there's nothing wrong with me expecting better from the team as a whole. Don't forget that our end of season slip last year saw us slide down from Title contenders to 4th place.
I don't buy the fact that we need heavy reinvestment, I think the 11 players who were in our starting line-up today were more than capable of getting a result, even without Theo, Jack and Mikel, which bodes well for our future. I think that we will get 3rd, I think that we will go from strength to strength next season. But I just don't agree with the supporters who are saying that 3rd place is ours yet, or that we'd be title holders were it not for one or two matches.
Bottom line, I want the best for Arsenal, as I'm sure do you. I'm a cynical person and I'll always comment if I don't believe the team lived up to their potential in a match. It's part of being a supporter, it's the same as me being able to scream in joy when the Arse get a good result (and trust me, I do). But imagine if Newcastle had turned on the style, and gotten 3 points today – would we all be so optimistic on here? Being cynical doesn't mean I'll ever turn away from the club, it doesn't mean I think that we'll finish 10th, it doesn't mean that I want massive changes. It means that I have an enduring passion for Arsenal and I want them to be the best – the same as anyone on here, I'll wager. Just because I think they can do better, doesn't mean I'm wrong.

Glad for the point. City, United, and Chelsea all came from the Britannia with a similar haul.
With Newcastle losing, third is officially in our hands now. I'd hope that we can get six points from Norwich and West Brom, but one thing that's worried me of late is our lack of goal-scoring opportunities. In the 2nd half especially today I can barely remember us creating anything…
Did we miss Walcott today?
Santos should start WITH Gibbs next game.

Newcastle have 3 games left to play. Those games are against City, Chelsea and Everton (at Goodison). They could very easily lose all three and I'll be very surprised if they get more than 4 points from those games.
I'd say that third is ours unless we somehow screw up Norwich (h) and West Brom (a).
I think easy 3 points against Norwich, and West Brom will be trickier, but we *should* win.
So in summation, we will be third.

Are people forgetting the spuds?!
A win for them tomorrow and one for their game in hand – two VERY EASY RESULTS -puts them 1 point behind us. We lose or draw any more games, then they beat us. Simple as that.
I don't buy the talk that they're down and out. It's exactly what they said about us fifteen games ago.

'ifs are for the teams below us.
we are third.
its ours to lose.
just because something is possible,it doesn't make it probable.
and just because something is probable, it doesn't make it fact.
lets just enjoy the nerves of being in the best position we can be right now and cry if it goes wrong…not when it goes wrong.

Not trying to be down and out, you're certainly right in that it's still in our hands, but frankly it shouldn't be. Had the Toon come out and played today, we'd all be lamenting the fact of two points dropped here.
Don't get me wrong, still confident we can finish third. But that doesn't mean we all have to be all happy and joyful over one point, and the team shouldn't be happy with it either. I'd expect them to still be disappointed that, had they performed versus Wigan and QPR, we'd have now qualified already. As it is, we have to ensure it by winning the last two games.
Part of supporting the Arse is celebrating the victories, but part of it is the speculation that comes from the unknown. I, for one, am not going to get happy because other teams have lost to put us in this position; I'd rather the team made it on their own merit.

if you listen to pardrew at the end of the game today, he said exactly the same thing as Wenger,, that they prepared for a battle but Wigan just sucker-punched them.. its no shame to lose to a side in the best form in the league.
and its not about relying on other teams to lose.. that just happens naturally.
and I'm 100% positive that the players never want less than a win. but as a fan I can be happy that we got something from the game and that our closest rivals dropped points against a good team.

Fair enough mate. I'd rather the team should have got more from this display because I think they were better than this. They had more chances and they needed to win. But yes, a point is better than none.

I think the key to next seasons trophy success would be moving rvp back to his initial role of no 10, just behind the striker. His movement with the ball reminds me of a crisp clear DB 10, his through passes are absolutely sublime and top class. Assuming the podolski deal is done, rvp (if he signs) should reclaim his no 10 position and play behind poldi. *lethal combo*………….yes??????.
4 2
Podolski is a bit of a number ten as well. We can't sign a real striker can we? Still, I'd rather rely on two quality number tens to score all season than just one
1 0
Rvp and poldi playing together will only be realised if we assume the 4-4-2 formation otherwise if we continue with the current formation then i think rvp should definetly play no 10 behind poldi. Rvp can also shoot so the goals will be shared.

Gotta say, I see us finishing third, Sp*rs fourth, and Chelsea hilariously winning the Champions League to deny those lilycunts a place in the tournament. Still have lots of work to do though! Norwich won't be a pushover.

If Norwich continue their current form, we should win. Especially if we can maintain the first half gritty performance. It's just that its bugging me that Ramsey was being booed by Stoke's fans. Is it because he didn't forgive Shawcross? Surely it can't because he break his leg, because if it is, then that's like cursing someone for getting hit by a car and had his leg broken. It is inhumane..
By the way, if Diaby injury is bad, i blame it on Arseblog because he dare to mention "Diaby" and "break" at the same line in his liveblog. Seconds later, he got his injury. You should have known better, Blog…

Chris Foy's performance was strangely similar to his incompetence in the the Stoke – Tottenham match where he disallowed a valid goal and did not give 2 penalties. When that had happened I was wondering if we will meet the same fate when Gunners played at that Shithole of a stadium. Well guess what, it did happen. Luckily we were strong enough to not lose it.
Amazing to see referees turning blind eye to penalties and blatant fouls at the Britannia. And we are not the only team who have such grievances. Lots of top teams have had poor decisions against them at Stoke. I hope somewhere in the referees association there is a man with a backbone who can call out these thugs…

I wish we had battered them, but I'll take not losing at this stage and coupled with Wigan's result it didn't end too badly in the end.
I'm confident of 2 more wins. 3rd place here we come.

Stoke Manager = Cunt
Stoke Players = Cunts
Stoke Fans = Cunts
The Owner must be a cunt to allow that shit to go on.
And dont get me fucking started on Chris Foy.
Really PROUD of the lads and manager for the performance they put intoday in the face of what was shocking football, shocking decisions and shocking abuse from the fans.
Pullis says he also gets abuse ? surprise fucking surprise.
Im proud of how the Arsenal fans and club behave and today the noise made by the away fans was great to hear on the TV.
Win the next 2 and it will be a great end to what started off as a dodgy looking season.

Thanks Sul, an excellent match report. I'd by the paper again if articles were written like that!
A good point in fairness. Glad to hear Ramsey did well under the pressure. Shame about diaby. Hopefully he can play a part next season.
It's going to be tight for 3rd. Even though spurs are shit we can't count on them to loose. But sounds like the attitude and application is there to see us through. Lets see Pat Rice off in style. COYG!!!

Excellent first half. A result of the high pressing game we played against spuds and chelski. Hard graft gets results.
Thought Ros, Benny, Ramsey and Gerv were all pretty awesome.
Really Stoke should have been dead and buried by half time.
Second half we stopped pressing so insensly and that slowed the pace allowing Stoke to snuff out our moves. Our passing took on a familiar crablike quality as we lost incisiveness. Gerv seemed to disappear, possibly the early misses on his mind.
On a positive note Ramsey looked quality and showed some real guts today. Teams can't live with us when we press and move the ball quickly. Maybe we should do it more often.

Did any of you catch Lennie trying to shake hands with the ref and his team (not Stoke, the other team he had with him)?
I can't help but think he's just one crayon away from the special bus. Fuck me he is one truly dopey, simple minded fuckwit. He looks like he'd have to hum while tying his laces not to mention the drool running endlessly down his chin that I'm sure he's not aware of.

It's amazing that Shawcross can make a "man and ball" tackle/assault on Benayoun in their box and that's not considered a penalty. There was no way Yossi could get out of that challenge given how Shawcross used his entire body to knock him over. Then the pricks on the commentary reckoned it was an excellent tackle. The only way that would be an excellent tackle if it was American Football. To add insult to injury (quite literally), they give him Man of the Match.

I hate to say it but it's warranted- utd would have found a way to win this game, which has been the point of difference between us and having a real crack at the title. I'm not saying that utd would have won against stoke here (they drew didn't they) but in general it's these types of matches the arsenal needs to win to become a force again.

Some games are fixed. Tony Pulvis had deliberately lost his game to Castle last week, as this result will not cost Stoke. Both these managers are anti-wenger, and both are english, and BBC as usual, love to twist and bias what they are best at. Luckily Wigan's Manager is a spanish, and beat Castle 4-0. Well done.
Infact Stoke are my most hatred team, way above the rest. Tony Pulvis is the master of cunt, including his fans.

Fucking refree, he was guilty giving whitehead yellow card which it was correct. Then all decisions went against us. He would have give penalty to foul on yossi, and handball, if we were manure shite. Disgrace.
Stoke + their minions + foy shite = shite with any flavour

I think this was a potential banana peel avoided. I thought the defence (apart from the goal) was excellent. We lacked a little bit of invention in the 2nd half but we still got the result. We might need one or two more favours from some teams below us but I think we will be okay.
Didn't have an issue with anyone. Everyone put in a good shift. Gervinho still looks a bit hung over from the Cup of Nations but he carved out some good chances.
Norwich next up. Let's do this.

Editor's View: Politics, pizzazz and procrastinations
By: Don Chaddock, Telegraph Managing Editor
Our region is full of interesting tid bits and odd happenings. From the Robber?s Fire burning up the hill between Colfax and Foresthill requiring the assistance of many local agencies (more than 2,400 acres charred as of press time with nearly 2,000 personnel battling the blaze), to local ladies vying for pageant titles and crowns, there is never a shortage of stories to fill our pages. Let?s take a quick look at a few of them. Political rounds What?s this I hear? Bill Tobin, a former president of the Rotary Club of El Dorado Hills, has tossed his hat in the ring to secure a seat on the El Dorado Hills Community Services District Board of Directors. Tobin has been instrumental in organizing the Blues & Brews Fest, a fundraiser for the planned El Dorado Hills Veterans Memorial. My hat is off to you, Bill. That is one tough task to tackle. Some pizzazz Glory Guzman, of Folsom, is shooting for the title of Ms. Philippines of Sacramento and Vicinity. The single mom of two said it would be an honor to represent the Filipino community if she wins. For her story, see page A5. Glory wasn?t the only pageant contestant I recently interviewed. Holly Bialorucki is vying for Mrs. California International 2013 in September. The lovely lady came by our office last week to discuss her platform. She brought along her 13-year-old daughter Bonnie. No stranger to kids, or teens for that matter, I spoke with Bonnie at length about one of her passions ? the animated TV show, ?South Park.? She?s even made up her own characters and acts out scenes in her room after school. Bonnie was diagnosed with a particular form of autism at an early age. I applaud Holly for sharing her family?s story and I look forward to seeing how she does in the state pageant. For the full story, see folsomtelegraph.com. Procrastinations Sometimes it takes me a while to get around to things. For example, it took me 20 years of off-and-on dieting and gimmicks to get the extra weight off me. I?ve written about this previously, but as of this weekend, I?ve managed to lose 101 pounds in about 18 months. It hasn?t been easy. A lot of people have walked right by me without saying hello, telling me later they didn?t recognize me. The most frequent question I receive is, ?How did you do it?? At a grocery store, the checker asked me the same question. I was purchasing some brown rice protein powder for my smoothies. ?Is this how you did it?? she asked. If I could point to one thing it would be, ?lifestyle change.? I try to keep myself active, eat right and get plenty of sleep. I also eliminated alcohol, bread and potatoes. I eat plenty of fruits and veggies and four to six ounces of lean meats per day. I eat three meals daily with healthy snacks between those meals and one bedtime snack consisting of a cup of frozen grapes. That?s it in a nutshell but if you want to learn more, go to folsomtelegraph.com or edhtelegraph.com and keyword search ?saturday skinny.? That?s my weekly column that gives useful tips and describes in detail what I?m doing now or what I?ve done in the past to drop the pounds. There is no charge to read the column. I?m not trying to sell anything but I am trying to pass along what I?ve learned to others who might find the information useful.

Emergency responders were busy in Elbert County Thursday night. When the tornadic thunderstorms finally subsided, 32 homes had suffered moderate to severe damage.
One home and outbuilding on County Road 82 is considered a total loss. The residents, Mark and Debbie Studer, sheltered themselves with their dog in the basement and escaped the storm uninjured.
They showed 11 News the damage and it's not a pretty sight. There's almost nothing salvageable from their home after the tornado ripped through tearing the house apart.
"It was like an absence of air and a real strong explosion, the sliding glass door down there, that exploded and when it did, the whole house...it was just an amazingly loud noise," Mark said.
Mark and Debbie told us they were watching 11 News right before the tornado struck.
"(Brian Bledsoe) said, if you're in the Ramah area, take cover. And we did," Debbie said.
Friday, they were back to assess the damage in the light of day. Mark showed us the extensive destruction and where they were in the basement when the twister hit.
"Everything's gone. We didn't know how bad it was until we started getting wet down there (in the basement) and I looked up and the roof wasn't there," Mark said.
Debbie was born in Denver in that now destroyed house. Her father had the home taken apart, moved, and rebuilt near the family homestead in Ramah.
"We just don't know what to do now," Mark said.
Walking through the broken glass and wooden-pylons that were tossed around like toothpicks, Mark told us all things considered, they're lucky.
"We feel lucky, because of the warning on TV. Had it not been for that, we would've been...she'd be sitting in that chair, and you've seen the rafters hit that chair, it would've hit her in the head," Mark said.
Their livestock survived as well. They have several cows, 29 chickens, a dog and cat, all of them accounted for.
A fund to assist the Studer Family is being established at the Farmers State Bank located at 458 Colorado Ave. in Calhan, or by phone (719) 347-2727. The Red Cross is also offering assistance to that family and any other hit by the storm.
Elbert County also reports that personnel with the Office of Emergency Management helped land owners to repair fences to ensure no livestock could escape. Downed power lines in the area are now repaired by Mountain View Electric crews.
One lingering remnant of the storm is flood waters on County Road 113. It is closed off of Highway 24, but alternate access is available through County Road 117.

Tour de Lincoln draws big crowd of bike riders
By: Liz Kellar The News Messenger
More than 750 riders took advantage of the mild, sunny weather May 10 to take part in the seventh annual Tour de Lincoln, a fundraiser for the Lincoln Volunteer Center. "It was really, really good, the weather was perfect," said volunteer center coordinator Bob Romness. "Our ridership was up about 20 percent over last year – it was more than we anticipated." He estimated more than 750 riders registered for the event. The bike ride offered four courses: the 10-mile Pleasure Cruise, the 20-mile Rolling Hills, the 40-mile Country Climb and the 63-mile or 100K, Metric Century. Two of the routes – the Country Climb and the Metric Century – were modified this year to eliminate long stretches along Highway 193. "We had a great group of volunteers to help out, the committee did a great job of marking the routes and the service clubs always do a great job at the rest stops," Romness said. "The rider feedback was very, very positive," he added. "I always take a poll; I talk to people in the lunch line. This time, we served lunch in the barbecue area and the riders really liked that because they got to sit in the shade." The riders started out at 8 a.m. and by noon, most of the cyclists – with the exception of those braving the 100K course – were feasting on barbecue. There were quite a few riders from Sun City Lincoln Hills, including friends Sue Worrell and Carol Hoffmeister. Worrell modified the course, she said, riding a longer version of the Country Climb. Hoffmeister opted to ride the Rolling Hills course. "It was perfect weather," Hoffmeister said. "It's so well-organized and so well-done." Worrell said of the Tour. Another Lincoln Hills rider, Tony Simi, echoed the praise. Simi rode the 100K – "the big one," he said, grimacing slightly. "I pushed pretty hard on the way back. "It's gorgeous, a beautiful ride," he said. "It's a super ride."

U.S Women's National Team Weekly Update (Nov 24)
URL: USA Volleyball
Logan UPDATE: Lindsey Berg (Honolulu) and Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah), both members of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team which won the silver medal in Beijing, were on opposite sides of the net in an early key test for their respective teams in the Italian Serie A professional league. Tom is part of a talented Asystel Volley Novara Team that routinely is in the hunt for the Serie A title. However, on Nov. 22, it was the up-and-coming Villa Cortese squad that earned a hard-fought five-set victory (25-21, 23-25, 25-15, 17-25, 15-13). Tom scored a Volley Novara-leading 21 points with 18 kills on 50 attacks and three blocks. She also converted 16 service receptions into 56 percent excellent reception mark. Volley Novara, now 3-2 and in fifth place with eight points, will face league-leader Monte Schiavo Banca Marche Jesi on Nov. 25. The match will feature a battle Tom and Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.), both three-time Olympians with the U.S. Women's National Team. Volley Novara will also be part of the CEV Indesit Champions League as it takes on Russia's Zarechie Odintsovo to open Pool D play on Dec. 3.

Veteran voices complaints with KC VA hospital
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - "Secret wait lists" and "preventable deaths" are some of the allegations against a VA hospital in Phoenix.
A Kansas City area vet claimed similar problems in local VA hospital as well.
Kansas City VA Medical Center serves 50,000 veterans every year with just fewer than one million visits.
Ryan Foster is one of those patients. He served four years of active duty in the Marine Corps and four years inactive.
Seven years ago, doctors diagnosed him with PTSD.
"When I see somebody standing on the side of the road waving a sign around, you know what, that makes me feel like being a veteran? It makes me feel like they probably have a detonator behind their back and a roadside bomb somewhere," Foster said.
Last year, he went to the Kansas City VA Medical Center for treatment.
"It's really been a nightmare. I've been hospitalized at the VA. When you go in there they treat you like you're the bottom of the scum of the earth."
There are new reports of treatment delays at veterans' hospitals across the country.
In Phoenix, a former clinic director claims up to 40 veterans died while awaiting treatment at a VA hospital there.
The VA Secretary ordered a national face-to-face audit of all Veterans Affairs Department clinics.
Foster believes an investigation in Kansas City will reveal major problems as well.
"I'm trying to get into therapy up at the VA and I've been on the waiting list for a year. When they put me on the waiting list they said it would be a two-year wait and when I was there last time they said it was still a two-year wait," he said.
He's also tried to get moved to a Johnson County clinic closer to home with no luck.
Foster said he's on a new medication but can't follow up with his doctor for another three months.
Kansas City VA Medical Center responded in an email saying
"Our mission and goal is to provide high quality, timely care to eligible Veterans. The Kansas City VA Medical Center has many internal processes and quality controls in place to assist us in meeting this goal.
In response to your questions about meeting overall access and patient needs, our leadership and staff monitor key indicators to include
• wait times and access for all clinics
• examine survey results from our patients
• review and respond to direct patient feedback
• review direct feedback from Veteran advocacy groups
Actions we have taken in response to these reviews include, expanded clinic hours (Saturday primary and specialty clinics); evening clinics in primary care and mental health; added clinic locations for Mobile Medical Unit; added clinic space (recently opened the Honor Annex);promoting use of secure e-mail to providers and telemedicine; and we have added staff where needed.
We have longed worked with Veteran advocacy groups and providers to ensure our patients have timely access to the appropriate level of care.
In response to your questions specifically about Mental Health access:
• Patients in need of immediate mental health services may come to the outpatient mental health clinic during the day without an appointment to be seen the same day as a walk-in. After hours, a patient may come to the KCVA emergency room to have their mental health needs assessed. Also, the Veterans Crisis Line is available 24/7 by calling 1-800-273-8255, option #1.
• When ongoing mental health treatment is needed, the provider will discuss treatment options with the patient and a joint decision will be made between the provider and the patient as to the appropriate treatment plan.
• When psychotherapy is part of the treatment plan, some therapy options are available within the same week, other times it may be a little longer for the patient to be matched with the right course of therapy. KCVA is focused on expanding evidence-based psychotherapy when it is appropriate for the patient.
• No treatment is delayed past time the provider thinks it is safe for the patient. If we are unable to meet that goal our VAMC purchases care for the patient in the community.
Our dedicated employees are diligent in ensuring that our Veterans receive high quality and timely care in a clean, pleasant environment. Our staff consider it an honor and privilege to serve those who have served us.
If any Veteran has questions or concerns about the attention or services they are receiving, we encourage them to contact the Kansas City VA Medical Center."

May 6, 2016
A mother in the east is using the anniversary of her teenage daughter's death to try and save the lives of others.
Thursday marked the one-year anniversary of the death of 18-year-old Sarah Edwards of Beaufort County.
The 18-year-old high school Senior was on her way to her after school job when troopers said she looked down at a text message, crossed the center line and collided with a log truck.
Family and friends gathered at her graveside Thursday, wrote messages on balloons, then sent them toward Heaven.
While those messages were meant for Sarah, her mother Tracey O'Carroll had one for everyone else. "That cell phone is not that important. That message is not that important. So don't do it."
Tracy has been going to schools sharing Sarah's story. She's recently begun working with the highway patrol in Greenville to help with their safe driving campaigns.

We've all been there before: You just ate at your favorite raw chicken food trailer in that shady part of town, and now you have to drive home at twice the posted speed limit so you can get to a toilet before it's too late. But is that enough of a reason to lead the police on a chase? For one man in Garden City, Utah, the answer is yes. Yes it was. Jeffrey Laub went speeding through a canyon at 111 mph, leading a Utah Highway Patrol Trooper on what was described as an offroad Dukes of Hazzard-style pursuit, because he ate some food that upset his stomach and was trying to reach a toilet. Laub's excuse didn't fly with a judge, who sentenced him to seven days in jail after he was convicted of failure to stop at the command of a police officer, impaired driving, reckless driving, speeding and open container.
Airline flights can be long and stressful and sometimes you just want to do what a British airline passenger did — well, except for the whole "getting tasered" part. The 52-year-old who had flown into Manchester, England, from Malta, having had a few too many drinks, stripped naked on the airport tarmac and challenged the pilot to a fight. He also urinated on the terminal wall. A woman traveling with him got so fed up with his bad behavior that she slapped him in the face.

Why Don't You…?
Posted by Erin | Filed under DIY Projects, Inspiration, Musings
…get crafty with your kitchen cabinets?
I'm a huge fan of quirky furniture and decor, so when I spotted this unique cupboard, I spiraled into "How can I recreate this look in my home NOW?" mode. And because I'm not necessarily gifted in the area of free-hand drawings, I thought of a perfectly temporary solution:
Why not coat your kitchen cabinets in dry erase paint? They'll appear to be nothing more than a bright white finish, yet when you feel like having fun with your space, you can doodle plates, glasses and other cupboard contents on the cabinet's exterior. Or, you could use it as a space to list your grocery needs, important reminders or funny things your kid said that day. The possibilities are truly endless, right?
Tell me, are you quirky enough to doodle on your kitchen cabinets? Or do you prefer your space to be polished and [gasp!] more grown-up?

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everybody!
Late at night, when everybody is sleeping – Reto.Hal9k climbs into his programming hideout and with only a single candle lit, he writes new render features that hopefully makes their way into the game one day. This time he has been working on weather effects – and in this case: SNOW! – Reto.Robotron3000
Newgarden Feature: New Textures and Shaders for Panzer I and Panzer III
Developer's Corner: New Low-Quality Rendering
In the coming Newgarden build, we will change the way the game renders graphics when the "low" quality setting is selected. The picture below pretty much sums it up, but read on for the details!
Developer's Corner: Asset Streaming
As was mentioned already in the last few blog posts, a lot of the work that we have been putting into the upcoming Manstein build of Heroes & Generals is aimed at improving performance. One of these improvements is asset streaming.
Lock & Load
In all the previous builds, the game would load all of its assets (geometry, textures, sounds, etc), every single time you launched a FPS match, using up a large amount of memory, preventing some of the lower-end graphics processors from running the game at all. Starting with the Manstein build, textures will be loaded on the fly (i.e. streamed), as they become needed.
New LOD Models and textures
One of the things we need to do when creating buildings and other props for the game is to build LOD (Level Of Detail) models. LOD Models are low-resolution models that are used when you are looking at something far away. If you imagine a door with hinges, keyhole, door handle etc. When you are 50 meters away you cannot really see any of these, so there are no reasons for the computer to spend CPU and GPU power drawing them.
Continue reading to see how we got there :-)
Clear sky to overcast from a rendering perspective
To penetrate and dissipate these (ingame) clouds of darkness, the general mind must be strengthened by education. – Thomas Jefferson
This time I'll write a bit about our upcoming real-time volumetric cloud system. Unless something goes horribly wrong and the sky is falling down the new clouds should make an appearance in the Jefferson build.
About a year ago I wrote the code and shaders for the current cloud system, that uses sprites to render the clouds seen in the action game. At that point I was already pursuing various options for rendering clouds in a different way, that I wasn't satisfied with the quality and performance I could achieve using sprites, but due to lack of time I had to let go of the research and use the sprite system.
Overdraw: An effects dude's worst enemy.
I would just love to see a thick black and grey smoke slowly sweeping throughout the battlefield and to see smoke and dust linger for several seconds after various explosions and impacts – however…
this will destroy the performance and the frame-rate will drop through the floor, making everybody curse at me and scream and yell and shake their fists in my general direction! SO…
Reto Sweat Shop
As you might have noticed in the previous Intelligence Bulletins Reto.Mato has been hard at work expanding our character pipeline and building new parachutes. Here is a bit more information on how this process works. Enjoy! – Reto.Robotron3000
When creating the uniforms for the characters, we start out using a cloth simulation program to create the base uniforms cloth pieces draped over a body model. This creates realistic looking folds and wrinkles on the uniforms. We decided to make a parachute bag with it's intricate straps and the open parachute canopy itself in this cloth simulation program. We wanted to see if we could benefit from the simulated forces from the pulling of straps, ropes and the effects of wind and gravity. The simulation for the bag and the straps is made on top of the German paratrooper uniform for a perfect match.

New Skills Development Center opens at Camp Zama
September 11, 2012
By Tetsuo Nakahara, U.S. Army Garrison Japan Public Affairs
CAMP ZAMA, Japan (Sept. 11, 2012) -- The new Skills Development Center here was opened to the public following a ribbon-cutting ceremony held Sept. 7 in front of the facility.
The multipurpose facility includes an Auto Skills Center, Arts and Crafts Center, Military Clothing Sales and Army Supply Center in one complex. This offers a variety services that are centrally located for customer convenience, said a representative from Camp Zama's Morale, Welfare and Recreation.
"This is great for one-stop shopping," said John Shoda, MWR's business operation officer here. "It's very comfortable and user-friendly. Having a brand new facility like is a great program and service for the community. I hope people utilize this place and get much out of it."
The Arts and Crafts Center is the only two-story facility in the complex. It was previously located in a building that was originally constructed in late 1950 and had provided the installation with a variety of services for more than 25 years. The new center includes a frame shop, balloon shop and wood shop on the first floor. A print shop, pottery shop and multi-craft classroom are located on the second floor. The new Arts and Crafts Center offers customers a wider selection of programs and services, Shoda said.
Shinto priests from the nearby Suzuka Myojin Shrine performed a traditional purification ceremony to bless the new building during the opening ceremony. Camp Zama representatives, including U.S. Army Garrison Commander Col. Eric Tilley, cut the ribbon to open the facility. More than 100 people later toured the inside of the new facility after the ceremony.

When it comes down to it, this is YOUR day, you should invite the people you want there, not people you feel obligated to invite. I didn't invite any of the women I worked with to cut down on guests. Let your co-workers know that you're limited on the number of guests you can invite and most jobs will throw an office baby shower. If you're not working and still having trouble, again invite the people you want there not people you feel obligated to invite. I would stick to people you talk to on a regular basis, immediate family (aunts and cousins if you're close with them), and if anyone gets upset you didn't invite them, explain the situation. A LOT of your friends are going to fall to the wayside once you have this baby, especially if they don't have kids themselves. If they cant handle not being invited to your baby shower for reasons beyond your control, chances are they won't be able to handle it when you can't find a sitter to go out for their birthday either.posted 05/27/2010 by bjfmommy812

Anyone else NOT telling the gender???
People are giving us so much crap for finding out but then keeping it a secret... we really wanted to know, but we want it to be a surprise for everyone else. Is anyone else doing it like that? I feel like we are the only ones to make that choice...

This your choice and it makes it fun. Each little bundle of joy should have something special. With the 1st one we found out so we could prepare. I picked neutral carseat ans stroller extra and then when we had the second one we didn't find out at all and had a disposable shower. This one we found out and we are including the girls in the whole process. Making it special for family members and others is a great idea to keep everyone excited. Stay strong;-)posted 03/12/2010 by busygirls2
We kept the name a secret, and I think that people really appreciate it in the end. It's a little surprise for everyone... even though they were all asking non-stop what the name was, we didn't budge. Also, I had a shower before we found out if it was a boy or girl and it wasn't a big deal getting all green and yellow.posted 02/09/2010 by Rinoa's_mommy
i'm not only becuse he family is throwing me a shower I don't want an bunch of yellow and greenposted 02/05/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
We were thinking about finding out and keeping it a secret also. I want to know to plan, but I want everyone to be surprised. Also, I know so many people who found out and for their shower all they got was gender specific items. Now with their second, they only have boy things or girl things. I would rather have neutral items so if we have another of a different sex we can use the stuff we get with this baby.posted 02/10/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

Eagles defend their Nest
By: Joshua Ansley Journal Sports Staff
Del Oro grinds its way to a win over Nevada Union
LOOMIS - A lot of statements have been made concerning the Del Oro High football team this season. Tonight the team offered a statement of its own by refusing to give up after starting the second half down 10 to 0 and facing another likely defeat. The Golden Eagles (3-4 overall, 1-1 league) fought hard for every inch as they grinded their way to a 14-10 victory Friday night against the Nevada Union Miners (4-3 overall, 0-2 league). Del Oro gave it to junior Nick O'Sullivan early and often, starting with seven touches on the team's opening drive. His biggest play came off a Max Magleby pass for 34 yards, but Del Oro failed to complete the drive, and Nevada Union took over on its own 33-yard line. Three plays later senior running back Devyn Grimes ran the ball 56 yards for a touchdown. The Eagles found themselves down early once again after failing to contain the big play. The offense, however, displayed a unique ability to convert on third downs in the first half. Magleby completed five of his seven completed passes on third down situations and the chains continued to move, but Del Oro still failed to find the end zone. Magleby showed a bounce in his step early, ultimately completing 7 of 11 passes for 113 yards in one half of play. Unfortunately he also threw two interceptions and Del Oro remained scoreless after one half of play. Linebacker Shoichi Martinson said he was kind of worried after the first half, but the coach gave the defense some time to talk just among their selves during halftime, and it worked. "Everybody really came together at halftime," Martinson said. "Just the players met up and we talked about what we needed to do." Nevada Union's offense started with the ball in the second half, but quarterback Josiah Paye was sacked by Kai Vonalvensleben for a huge loss on third down and the Eagles took over with quarterback Bobby Heatherington calling the shots. Del Oro continued to hand the ball to O'Sullivan, whose ability to make a push for a few extra yards on nearly every down kept the offense in the game. Still, it was Heatherington's 39-yard pass to Daniel Thomas that fueled the drive and set up a 1-yard touchdown run by O'Sullivan. O'Sullivan ended up carrying the ball 38 times on his way to 130 yards and two touchdowns. After the game in which O'Sullivan also played every snap on defense, he said he had so much adrenaline pumping he could still keep going. He continued to offer praise to the Del Oro coaching staff for the time and energy they put into practice throughout the week in preparation for the game. "I'd like to give a shout out to (secondary coach) coach (Jared) Elarmo, a good guy and a good friend and (defensive coordinator) coach (Steve) Birch," he said. "Birch always makes the extra effort to get us ready for every game and his hard work showed in this game." Besides three big passes from Paye to Nevada Union wide receiver Brock Kraus, the Eagles were able to contain the passing game as well a formidable rushing attack, which came into the game averaging 284 rushing yards per game. The Del Oro defense held Nevada Union's main rusher, Grimes, to 75 yards, and only allowed 184 total yards on the ground. Seniors Kai Vonalvensleben and Cameron Soldano combined for 12 tackles on the night, but the pair was outshined by Martinson, who along with eight tackles, intercepted Paye's pass on the goal line and returned it nine yards. With less than two minutes to go, the interception virtually sealed the game for Del Oro. It was Martinson's first interception of the season and it couldn't have come at a bigger time. It was the only real individual play of the entire game for Del Oro, which put together an all-out team effort along with a never give up attitude. The win offered a real sense of relief for players, coaches, and fans after a trying non-league schedule and a bitter loss to Rocklin last week. "We all needed it," Taylor told the team after the game. "And we're still around. It's the little things that won it for us tonight and it's the little things that we're going to have to continue to get better at."

How Do You Solve the Problem of Scalia?
The razor-thin line between obscenity and bad judgment.
The editors at the Boston Herald then tried to amend their pleading, styling the late filing as within their right to "get the last word." Obliquely referencing the Fiore dissent, the Herald conceded that the gesture at issue may not have been obscene, but added—in what is surely dicta—"Maybe so, but it's still not something you'd do to your mother." They appended to the record the photographic evidence of the gesture in question and the testimony of the photojournalist who snapped the shot, to wit: "The judge paused for a second, then looked directly into my lens and said, 'To my critics, I say, 'Vaffanculo.' " The Herald helpfully translates, "(expletive) you."
Some folks on the political right are already in raptures about Scalia's "rare clarity." His kiss-off is even being spun, amazingly, as a justified response to an insulting attack on his religious beliefs. Scalia is once again the victim, it seems, of cunning liberal attempts "to make him into news." He is being stalked and baited by the liberal media in the hopes that he will say something that will result in a demand for his recusal in future cases. My God, but we liberal journalists are cunning bastards. We just won't stop hitting poor Scalia's fist with our enormous, spiteful chins.

I keep waiting for Charles Manson to get involved in politics.
Yes, the old lunatic is still around, although he doesn't make the news much these days.
Manson is 75 now. And judging by the most recent photograph I've seen, he probably has to strain to achieve anything like the wild-eyed glare that earned him such infamy during his murderous heyday, when even a president, without provocation, once mentioned him during a press conference.
Yet the Manson mystique — his brand name, if you will — could still carry a certain cachet, I think, if only Charlie would cast his lot with one side or other of the political spectrum.
As a villain, Manson has few peers among the living or the dead.
And villains have rarely been as valuable, when deployed as political pawns, as they are today.
Hitler, for instance (who was, by the way, Manson's favorite world leader), is launched so often as a propaganda missile that it's hard for somebody who is at all deficient in partisan zealotry to figure out just whose side the fuehrer was actually on.
Or would be on were he still alive.
If you follow the news in more casual fashion, though, you might have come to the perplexing conclusion that Hitler is both:
• the spiritual ancestor to President Obama. "Socialist," remember, is right there in the Nazi Party's name — it's the second word, even — and we all know Obama is a socialist.
• the chief inspiration for the Tea Party movement. This, as you know, is the sinister cabal striving to dismantle the socialist utopia that Obama allegedly so dearly wishes to assemble.
Hitler was a lot of things, but I doubt he is capable of pulling off that sort of doppelganger ruse.
Especially not now, when he's dead.
And even when he wasn't, Hitler's style tended toward the blunt rather than the clever.
A cudgel to the kidney sort of guy, is what I mean.
But of course historical accuracy matters not a whit in modern politics. If money is still the mother's milk of that endeavor, then exaggeration is the chocolate syrup that makes it sweeter, and guilt by invented association the straw that whips everything into a nice froth.
And everyone.
Democrats seek to link Tea Party members to Tim McVeigh, the KKK and assorted other distasteful flotsam of the right.
Tea Partiers, meanwhile, counter the left's jabs with a stiff combination of Stalin, Hitler and Pol Pot comparisons.
But so far as I'm concerned this bout is a draw, because neither scrapper, despite much energetic flailing, manages to land a single blow that delivers the sting of a well-reasoned argument.
The Tea Party, contrary to the claims of certain incoherent commentators, can't be branded as the inevitable spawn of McVeigh and the militia movement simply because its promoters bemoan the expansion of government entitlements and whine about taxes being too high.
McVeigh blew up a federal building.
Tea Partiers rally outside federal buildings and, apparently, pick up the trash they see.
Frightening indeed.
"Hey, that teabagger just threw a wadded up hamburger wrapper at me!" shouts the offended counter-protester who's standing beside the garbage can.
Yet some of the allegations leveled against Obama and the Democrats seem to me equally inane and infantile.
The president's campaign to ensure all Americans have health insurance might earn him the respect of European socialists, but it doesn't make him a dictator who would have enjoyed swapping favorite gulag stories with Stalin.
As I recall, Americans freely elected not only Obama, but also all those Democrats who voted for the healthcare reform bill last month.
The Germans, by contrast, were saddled with Hitler whether they wanted him or not. (In fact the last time they expressed their opinion about him through suffrage, in 1932, Hitler was trounced by the ancient Junker Hindenburg, who was still coasting on the story of how he handled the Russians at Tannenberg in 1914.)
I've read quite a few histories chronicling the transition from the Weimar Republic to Nazi control and in none did I come across a reference to a ballot that read something like this: "For the office of fuehrer of the Third Reich. Please fill in only one box: 1) Adolf Hitler; 2) Execution."
That would have been the real hanging chad.
The deplorable state of political discourse disappoints me in large part because this ought to be an inspiring episode in American history.
We have reached, it seems to me, one of those moments when two vastly different attitudes about our country's direction are poised on a fulcrum, more or less equally balanced.
Yet I don't believe the current debate, which is based largely on the question of how much money the government should take from us, and how it should spend that wealth, is so polarizing, when compared with, say, slavery and the civil rights movement, that tipping the balance to one side or the other must inevitably lead to a ghastly four-year war, or even violent clashes in the streets.
There are, I think, cogent arguments to be made on both sides.
And some people are making them.
People who understand that it's quite possible to lambaste a president's policies but not actually wish the man ill. Who understand that lawmakers who believe health insurance is a right do not intend to send government agents to confiscate your guns and force you to trade your pickup truck for an electric car that has a solar panel where the sunroof's supposed to go.
Yet I fear that the healthful benefits of vigorous intellectual exercise will continue to elude us, more often than not, so long as too many people reach instead for the easy but empty calories of baseless accusation and specious insinuation.
There's nothing fortifying, anyway, about branding people as bigots who simply think a trillion dollars is a rather large sum, or about implying that politicians who believe the government should help its citizens also have an allegiance to the architects of genocides past.
All of which makes as much sense as hiring Manson to write your speeches.
Imagine what Beck or Olbermann or Maher could do with that.

Sacred Narratives
Written by: Julia Hardy
Another popular sutra is one that buttressed the growing lay movement within Mahayana Buddhism, the Vimalakirti Sutra. In this sutra, Vimalakirti is critical of the non-Mahayana schools, using the pejorative term Hinayana (small vehicle), because, he says, they are not interested in assisting others, but think only of their own enlightenment. Vimalakirti is then revealed as a bodhisattva who has incarnated to assist the Buddha in expounding the true ideals of the Mahayana.
For many lay people, the polemics in this sutra are less interesting than the fact that Vimalakirti was not a renunciant, but a wealthy lay follower of the Buddha. Many Buddhists had understood the Buddha's teachings to mean that one must renounce possessions and social connections to follow his teachings. Vimalakirti, however, was enlightened, like the Buddha, despite his wealth and lay status. The sutra thus validated the lay approach to Buddhism that became increasingly popular as Buddhism spread from India into other parts of Asia.
The Amitabha and Longer Amitabha Sutras tell the story of Dharmakara, who devoted millions of lifetimes to become Amitabha, the Buddha of the Pure Land. He was once a great king who gave up his throne to become a monk and began to practice the way of the bodhisattva. He went to the Buddha Lokesvararaja and expressed the wish that someday he could become a teacher to all living beings, and liberate all from suffering and rebirth.
Dharmakara then devoted five eons to cultivation and one hundred billion years of study to build up the required merit and design a Pure Land for living beings to go to after death. When his task was finally complete, he became the Buddha of this Pure Land, Amitabha. Now one has only to call the name Amitabha with sincerity at the moment of death, and one will be transported to this Pure Land, and will be exempt from rebirth. The Pure Land is beautiful and peaceful, but it also a place where one can continue to study Buddhism with the eventual goal of enlightenment and the dissolution of self.
There are many other popular sutras, including the Heart Sutra, the Diamond Sutra, and the Perfection of Wisdom Sutras, just to name a few. Some of these have, like the Lotus Sutra, become the focal points for particular sects of Buddhism, and adherents will copy and recite them to gain merit. These sutras and others contain stories that are learned by children and repeated by elders because of the wisdom of the lessons they contain.
Study Questions:
1. What is the most famous "story" within the Lotus Sutra, and what does it teach?
2. Why are Mahayana and Hinayana schools of Buddhism referred to as the "large" and "small" vehicles, respectively?
3. Why aren't the Buddhist sacred texts based solely upon the life of Gautama Siddhartha?

Will This Be The Year Leaders Put Employees First?
As we approach the end of the first month of this new year, many of us are now well under way in implementing our plans and strategies to achieve the goals we've mapped out for the next 11 months. In terms of what leaders view as their top goals to achieve this year, a new study reveals some interesting opportunities, and with it, some key obstacles leaders will need to address if they are to help their organization move forward.
In the CEO Challenge 2014 study carried out by The Conference Board, CEOs and presidents from over 1 000 organizations around the world were asked to identify what they saw as the top challenges for their organization. While it wasn't surprising to see innovation and customer relationships being included in the top 5 challenges, the study's most revealing finding is how the top challenge for leaders worldwide was Human Capital – namely, how to engage, retain, manage and develop their employees.
In other words, leaders in every region of the world recognize that their employees are the defining factor both for their organization's ability to achieve their goals this year, and as well as for their overall long-term success. As Rebecca Ray, Senior Vice President, Human Capital at The Conference Board, and co-author of this study points out:
"This emphasis on people-related issues makes perfect sense in a still-uncertain economy. Building a culture that supports engagement, employee training, leadership development, and high performance is something companies can control, and can mean the difference between growing market share and simply surviving in 2014. Moreover, if the focus of individual companies is sustained, Human Capital may well be the engine that revives economic growth."
This is certainly encouraging news, as it reflects a growing shift from the survivalist/just treading water mindset to one that seeks opportunities for development and growth. However, we do have to be mindful of Click here to continue reading »"Will This Be The Year Leaders Put Employees First?"

SALTILLO – 2010 belongs to Justin Posey.
Posey has spent the latter half of the '00s finding his place in the local music scene. The Saltillo singer-songwriter started out as a member of the popular rock band fourtoomany, but then gave up on music when the band dissolved.
He returned to music in 2008 with his solo "The Seasonal EP," then joined the Jackson-based pop-rock band Fox Chase Drive. Posey has since parted ways with the group, and he's back on his solo track.
In late January, he'll release his debut full-length record, "Bending Love," which will be full of his signature acoustic pop sound.
"I'm really excited," the 23-year-old said. "It's my first full-length record, and that's just a lot of me going into the hands of listeners."
'Bending Love'
Posey recorded the 10-track album with Bobby Hudspeth and Cody Hickman, members of the Tupelo indie band The Embrace, in Hudspeth's home.
Posey wrote about love and heartbreak on "The Seasonal EP," and he returned to those themes for "Bending Love."
"Lyrically it's a lot more intimate, a lot more from the heart," he said. "It's a lot more me."
Posey admits love has been a big theme for him.
"A lot of it was written at the end of a relationship, and a lot of it was written at the beginning of a relationship," Posey said, "all with the hope that real love can last."
The album title says it all.
"Love can bend but not break – it can take all the bad and all the good and not break," he said.
Though love is a central theme on this record, Posey looks forward to exploring new themes in 2010.
"I kind of want to stay away from writing about love … I want to write more life songs, but I still want to write more happy, fun songs," he said. "That's what music is about, is relating to whatever you're saying. If you write a song no one can relate to, that song is no good."
Contact Daily Journal writer Sheena Barnett at 678-1580 or email@example.com. Also read her entertainment blog, Scene Now, at NEMS360.com/pages/scene_now.
– Get the tunes
Justin Posey's debut solo record, "Bending Love," is available now for pre-order on his MySpace page.
His EP, "Seasonal EP," is available for free at purevolume.com/justinposey, and it's also on iTunes and emusic.com.
– Hitting No. 1
Justin Posey was recently No. 1 on the music Web site Pure Volume.
He offered his EP, "The Seasonal EP," for free on the site. "I'd rather people have it for free than not have it all," he said. The site's editors fell in love with his tunes and featured him on the Pure Volume front page. His downloads shot him up to No. 1 on the site's charts.
"It was really like a dream," he said.

Neymar (Dani Alves teammate) twitted this picture later... Quoting "We're all monkeys"
joke's on them, the potassium will do great to prevent cramping later in the game.
that was the best way he could have handled that. with class and a joke
Fantastic show of class and humor in the face of somebody with bad intent. I'm not a Dani Alves fan at all, can't stand how he plays but that was awesome.
I loved it but next time skip eating the banana. Who knows if the next one is injected with something.
yep that'll be the first and last time you can pull off that joke
I think it's a shame people still do this.

Friday's MLS Capsules
Saturday, October 15, 2011
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Andre Hainault and Danny Cruz scored goals and the Houston Dynamo took a big step toward the MLS playoffs with a 2-0 victory over the Portland Timbers on Friday night.
The Dynamo (11-9-13) have 46 points, putting them in good position to take one of the league's 10 playoff berth. Houston assured itself of no worse than a tie for 10th after Saturday's games.
The win vaulted the Dynamo into second place in the Eastern Conference, ahead of New York (43 points), Columbus (44) and Sporting Kansas City (45), all of whom play Saturday.
