- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Yellow and red food coloring
- Pretzel nuggets (stems)
- Heat the oven to 350º and line a 12-cup muffin tin with bake cups. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set the mixture aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, stir together the oil and sugar. Whisk in the eggs and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and gently stir the mixture until well combined. Explain to your child that she should stir only until she can no longer see any pockets or streaks of flour.
- Stir the pumpkin into the batter until it is thoroughly combined. Spoon the batter into the lined muffin tins. Bake for 20 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle of one cupcake comes out clean. Let the cupcakes sit in the tin for 10 minutes and then remove to a rack to cool thoroughly.
- Meanwhile, make the Cream Cheese Frosting. In a medium-size mixing bowl, beat together the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, butter, and lemon juice until smooth. Add about 12 drops of yellow food coloring and 4 drops of red food coloring and beat until the frosting turns orange.
- For authentic-looking pumpkins, pipe on the frosting to resemble a pumpkin's ridges. Fill a sealable plastic bag with frosting, snip a small hole in the corner, and pipe curved lines over each cupcake. (An easier option is simply to frost each cupcake orange and draw ridges from top to bottom with a butter knife.) Use pretzel nuggets for the pumpkin stems and cut flattened green gumdrops into leaves.

Food in the Field gives a sneak peek into what CNN's team is eating as they travel the globe. Today's contributor, John King is anchor of CNN's 7 p.m. ET program, John King, USA, and CNN's chief national correspondent.
I love diners and other casual community eateries because comfort food equals comfortable conversation, and when people are relaxed in a place that feels like home you learn more about them and what drives their politics.
Don't get me wrong, I'm also in it for the food. I'm a fairly basic guy for breakfast, but can be enticed away from the usual scrambled eggs and homefries by a glimpse at a neighboring table's pancakes or the smell of beignets.
A diner menu can tell you a lot about where you are, from the huckleberry milkshakes of western Idaho to the pork-laden specials at most of the great diners of Iowa political travels.

"Your hands are your best tools!" says Lidia Bastianich, often called the godmother of Italian-American cooking. She shows CNN's Maggie Lake how to get down and dirty with homemade pizza dough.
Her latest enterprise, along with son Joe Bastianich and celebrity chef Mario Batali, is "Eataly" - a 40,000 square foot Italian emporium, housing seven in-house restaurants and specializing in imported Italian goods, many previously unseen stateside.

Unleash your inner chef and enjoy the fragrant pleasure of hot panini sandwiches at home, without the crowds or hefty prices at your local bistro! The durable floating hinge of this contact grill adjusts the non-stick plates to press your sandwich, meat, or vegetables perfectly every time. The lower plate is slightly tilted toward the drip cup, so your sandwiches are never soggy. The embedded high-wattage heating element cooks food evenly, without scorching, and lets you know when it's ready to cook with an indicator light.
The case stays cool to the touch as you cook, so your hands stay safe from burns. Its gleaming chrome finish wipes clean with a soft, damp cloth, and the plates steam clean by pressing a soaking wet paper towel in the unit as it cools. The unit has a built-in cord minder and stands on end for convenient storage. DeLonghi thoughtfully includes a recipe book to get you started making delicious panini, bruschetta, and spreads, though we're sure you'll be enjoying your own toasty, melty, mouth-watering creations in no time!

Won't heat up; no on/off switch
This review is from: DeLonghi CGH800 Stainless Steel Retro Panini Maker / Indoor Grill
Pros: It has a nice grilling surface.
Cons: I just unboxed it, and it's been on, set to max temp, for over 20 minutes, and the ready light hasn't come on. I can lay my hand inside it and it's barely warm. Certainly not hot enough to cook anything. It's plugged into the outlet my stove was plugged into, so there's more than enough power. Perhaps the unit is defective?
Other Thoughts: Can I RMA this thing or exchange it? Not happy. Definitely not worth the $77.99 price tag when I bought it on 9/8/2012.

Quick cook, pain to clean
This review is from: DeLonghi CGH800 Stainless Steel Retro Panini Maker / Indoor Grill
Pros: Quick, very even cooking. Nonstick
Cons: Cooking surfaces are not removable.
Other Thoughts: For the price this unit is superior. The heating element is heavy thus conducts heat evenly. Then it comes time to clean - the unit warns you about submersing, so the only way to clean it is to lay it across the top of the sink and try to balance it as you scrub it. I found the best way to clean after cooking meat (it grills steaks and chicken really well) is to heat it and use a nylon brush followed by a sponge.

Good grill/panini maker for a year or so
This review is from: DeLonghi CGH800 Stainless Steel Retro Panini Maker / Indoor Grill
Pros: Makes good burgers and panini's
Cons: After using it a year and a half or so it started to leak grease, and to the point where it was a real mess to clean up.
Other Thoughts: It was a decent buy for $60 when I got it, just wish it wouldn't have leaked grease
Did you find this review helpful?
This review is from: DeLonghi CGH800 Stainless Steel Retro Panini Maker / Indoor Grill
Pros: Heats up quick (about 5 min) and is perfect for grilling in dorms or apartments (I am in a dorm). Also makes great sandwiches or panini's.
Cons: Grilling burgers makes a little bit to clean up, but then again using non-stick spray might prevent that. Not really a con cause what indoor grill doesn't require cleaning?
Other Thoughts: I can now make sandwiches or burgers that would cost $5-$8.

It is the time of the year when temperatures can move up and down in a rather dramatic way. It appears eastern Carolina will see a weather pattern that will support significant warming and cooling at least through the first week of January. The first strong front will arrive Thursday and will drop temperatures for Friday and Saturday. We'll see another warm-up by the end of the weekend but another strong cold front will arrive by next Monday night bringing more chilly conditions. It may not stick around long but the cold air will certainly be felt across the area. At this point there does not seem to be a significant risk of snow or ice for the next week but weather conditions can change quickly during this time of the year.
December has been averaging between 2 to 3 degrees above normal. The beginning of January will be a bit colder but its too early to determine whether the chill will hang around for the remainder of the month.

The police officer heard the rocks hit the metal gate first.
"Hey!" he yelled toward the three figures in the empty lot across the street.
The three figures, apparently unaware the warning to stop was coming from a cop, stopped for a moment -- and then resumed chucking rocks at the gate of an empty meat warehouse on Albany Avenue.
"Hey!" the cop yelled again, by this point half way across the street.
As the cop got close enough for them to see him, and stop, the cop was also close enough to see that it wasn't three boys throwing rocks against the gate at all.
It was two boys, and their mother -- who had been standing by.
"Why didn't you tell them to stop?" the cop asked.
I did -- " the mother started, before her defense and voice trailed off.
"No, you didn't," the cop said. "I saw you from across the street. You just stood there."
"I did," the mother started, again. "but they wouldn't listen."
"Who's the parent here?" the cop asked. "You or them?"
The mother's eyes dropped and she said nothing as she grabbed the boys and walked away.
A few minutes later, the mother and boys were back in the lot again -- this time throwing a basketball into a basketball hoop someone had rolled onto the paved lot.

The Goldbergs
Home > Television > G > Goldbergs, The
Summary:Before there were parenting blogs, trophies for showing up and peanut allergies, there was a simpler time called the '80s. For geeky 11-year-old Adam (Sean Giambrone) these were his wonder years, and he faced them armed with a video camera to capture all the crazy. The Goldbergs are a loving family like any other, just with a lot more yelling. Mom Beverly (Wendi McClendon-Covey) is a classic "smother," an overbearing, overprotective matriarch who rules this brood with 100% authority and zero sense of boundaries. Dad Murray (Jeff Garlin) is gruff, hot-tempered and trying to parent without screaming. Sister Erica (Hayley Orrantia) is 17, hot, terrifying and not one to mess with. Barry (Troy Ge...

Honor and deception accompany 'A Man in Uniform'
"A Man in Uniform" (Crown, $25), by Kate Taylor
Monday, January 17, 2011
Author Kate Taylor's portrait of honor and deception in turn-of-the-century Paris is alluring and suspenseful, an even greater testament to her skills as a writer when one considers that she draws her story from France's most notorious political scandal.
The outcome of the Dreyfus Affair has been dramatized in plays and films, including the Oscar-winning "The Life of Emile Zola" in 1937. Taylor, though, envisions the struggle to free an innocent man as a trigger for a French attorney to reconsider his own values.
Lawyer Francois Dubon is comfortable in mid-life — and no wonder. He enjoys a successful if boring practice, a dutiful wife and child, social prominence and a mistress he visits nearly every afternoon on his way home from the office. What he lacks is the moral conviction that had invigorated his life as a young man.
Shaking up his world is a widow, Madame Duhamel. A friend of the Dreyfus family — or so she claims — she beseeches Dubon to take on an appeal of the court-martial that has condemned French army officer Alfred Dreyfus to Devil's Island for espionage and treason. Her confidence that he can find the real spy beguiles Dubon as much as her beauty and manner.
Drawn deeper into the mystery — is the Jewish army captain guilty after all or a victim of lies, indifference and anti-Semitism? — Dubon must decide whether to risk all that he has to join the fight for Dreyfus' freedom. He begins to realize that truth is not as valued as reputation and appearance in Belle Epoque France.
The fate of Dreyfus is a historical fact, a question easily answered by a Google search. "A Man in Uniform" provides twists and turns fitting for a cozy mystery with an interesting historical setting. The charm of Taylor's novel lies in her seemingly effortless prose and plotting — and her ability to make room for touches of subtle humor.

Now is as good a time as any to offer your predictions for who will be newly-sworn in President four years from now...
...as well as whom you HOPE will be elected as a change from The Obama Years.
Recent history sez that it will probably be a Republican.
I think Mitt should run again...third time's the charm and all...but he probably won't.
Gov. McDonnell has a shot, if he can appeal above the manson-nixon line. Christie, too, if he can lose some weight.
Rubio has time and maybe shouldn't rush things...but he probably will.
2nd tier: Scott Walker, Rob Portman, Ted Cruz (jk...too nutty).
And maybe a 50/50 chance there will be a Bush in there somewhere.

Prewitt runs with the Wolfpack
By: Ray Hacke Journal Sports Writer
Campus Canvass
If you're a baseball fan, your favorite team's bench might just be the best seat in the house. If you're a baseball player, as Kyle Prewitt is, that's hardly the case. Now suiting up for the North Carolina State University baseball team, Prewitt hasn't seen much playing time this season. The Placer High graduate, whose father Larry is currently the Hillmen's varsity baseball coach, has only appeared in four games for the Wolfpack this season, starting two. It's a little frustrating not being able to be in there every day and not knowing when you're going to get your shot, Prewitt said. Still, Prewitt said it's a thrill to play for a school that competes in the Atlantic Coast Conference, one of college baseball's premier conferences. It's a pretty big step up, said Prewitt, who played at Sacramento City College for two seasons before signing with N.C. State last fall. Not that it's overwhelming. But it's good to be able to step up and play against (perennial College World Series contenders) like Miami and North Carolina. Miami is one of the best-hitting teams I've seen in college baseball. The biggest reason for Prewitt's lack of playing time is that fellow junior Drew Martin has established himself as N.C. State's starting third baseman. Kyle got a lot of work at third base in the fall, but he's had a bit of a slow start this spring, Wolfpack coach Elliott Avent said. He hasn't gotten a lot of playing time, but we're hoping that can change down the stretch when some of our people are going to need some rest. While Prewitt is primarily a third baseman, Avent said there's also a chance for Prewitt to help N.C. State at first base this season. Prewitt has also been used as the Wolfpack's designated hitter. We're looking for him to come around offensively, Avent said. His hitting is where we think he could help us. Prewitt's saw time last Friday against No. 3-ranked North Carolina, last year's College World Series runner-up and the Wolfpack's bitter archrival. He came in at third base in the eighth inning against the Tar Heels and did not get an at-bat. His first hit this season was a double in a March 4 non-conference game against Valparaiso. I was DH'ing against a lefty, I got a fastball on a 2-0 count and I drove it off the wall in left-center field, Prewitt recalled. On Wednesday in a 12-0 win over Elon in Raleigh, N.C., Prewitt went 2-for-5 at the plate with his second double of the year. Prewitt hit .236 as a part-time starter for Sacramento City in 2006, his only full college season thus far. Last year he tore his groin while rounding third base in a game against Cosumnes River and missed most of the season. Though Prewitt did not have a chance to improve on his hitting at Sac City, Avent said he saw a lot of promise in the kid and felt Prewitt was worth taking a chance on. We thought he had a chance to be a pretty good player, and we still do, Avent said. Prewitt, for his part, simply hopes to be a contributor on a team he believes has the potential to win a national championship this season. Though only 5-6 in ACC play and 16-9 overall entering Wednesday's non-conference home game against Elon, N.C. State has already proven it can hang with the likes of Miami and North Carolina. We have an excellent pitching staff, he said. If our hitting does what it needs to do, we have a chance to it this year.

Your honor, I would like to plead not guilty to the charge of conspiring to recruit All-American girls basketball players to the University of Connecticut.
I stand here alone without representation. My editors aren't up this early in the morning. And if they were they'd only want me to write another blog about this blog and to be honest how many blogs can one guy blog in a day.
It has come to my attention that annoynmous cyberspacians in the Southwest and areas surrounding Knoxville believe the media that writes about the UConn Huskies for Connecticut newspapers have been ordered by the program to harass recruits and their families and badger them senseless until they give up and offer their verbals to Geno Auriemma and Chris Dailey.
I deny this, your honor.
I admit only to ordering the Indianapolis Colts to draft Peyton Manning and demanding that the Wooden committee honor Pat Summitt. I also devised the game plan that Kansas State used to hammer Texas in football last week and if I wasn't off that day I likely would have been able to convince Jim Bowie and Davy Crockett to take a vacation week in late February 1836 when things got a little hot under the collar at The Alamo.
But I did not call Kelsey Bone last week in an effort to put her and her especially kind mother in a Svengali trance on behalf of Geno.
He doesn't need my help. But thank you for thinking so.
I didn't even know who Elena Delle Donne and Caroline Doty were until June.
He did pretty well without me, don't you think?
What I am guilty of, apparently, is getting under people's skins. And that I can live with. Perhaps I need to furrow even deeper. Maybe I will. My job is not to calm the insecurities of fans, just as it isn't to bolster their dreams.
My job is to service the readers of the Hartford Courant - the newspaper, the website, the blogs. As I've mentioned before, they are my constituents. My job is to keep them satisified and my editors happy. My job is pursue the news that my readers and my editors want, presenting it with a slant that UConn fans can relate to, just like all of my friends at the other state papers do so well on a daily basis.
Covering UConn basketball, men and women, in Connecticut is like covering the New York Yankees for a major New York City tabloid, only you often have to drive through March snowstorms to do it.
The reader interest is intense, the pressure beyond anything I ever imagined when I transitioned from the NFL. Yes, that's my office light you see on at 6 in the morning.
And a major part of the job description is pursuing the direction of recruiting. None of us can help it if the media corps who write about other national programs are not given the same mandate by their bosses. That's their problem, not ours. Ask them for more news, they might figure out how to provide it.
My readers - and those who read the other newspapers - want to know what's happening on a daily basis and if Geno is in Texas to visit the nation's top-ranked junior and he's never been to Texas before then I'm going to write about it.
If the story makes Texas fans angry, if it sets them off in search of conspiracy theories, then they need to read something else or bother Mack Brown for another week.
Oh wait, here's another email from Geno's office with instructions about what to ask Kelsey to have for breakfast. Can I put you on hold?
(Elevator music is now playing)
Where was I. Oh, if Kelsey Bone goes to Texas or Tennessee we will all be happy for her, just as we would had Elena Delle Donne gone to Villanova to be closer to her family. But if Kelsey Bone doesn't want to go to Texas, well, then y'all should still be happy for her.
Get off her back and stop badgering her mother, who was forced to answer criticism for agreeing to talk to the Courant last week.
Are you people down there serious? Let Coach G do her work. She doesn't need your help. Remember, she coached at Duke, where they understand by now that things aren't always as they seem to appear.
You honor, I rest my case.
Courtney Gaine, it wasn't like this when you were playing.

RISMEDIA, Nov. 28, 2008-Weichert Relocation Resources Inc. (WRRI), one of the world's leading relocation and assignment management companies, has been inducted into the 2008 Palladium Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame for Executing StrategyTM in recognition of the company's achievements in driving breakthrough performance results using the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) methodology.
WRRI is the first relocation and assignment management company to receive this distinction from the Balanced Scorecard Collaborative, the education and certification division of Palladium Group, Inc. As a Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame member, WRRI joins past winners such as AT&T Canada, Best Buy, Exxon Mobil, Motorola, Siemens, UPS and Wells Fargo.
"It's a distinct honor to be recognized by the Balanced Scorecard Collaborative for our success in executing strategy," said Aram Minnetian, president of WRRI and architect of the company's BSC Enterprise Model. "We are proud to be the first relocation company to attain the coveted Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame status. This award offers further evidence of our brand differentiation and commitment to provide clients with a unique value proposition."
In the five years since adopting the BSC, WRRI has successfully implemented scorecards for its entire global workforce and supplier networks, while achieving continuously higher levels of scorecard goal achievement across its key BSC metrics.
"Our Balanced Scorecard program has helped us attain unprecedented levels of financial performance, customer satisfaction, colleague engagement and process innovation," said Minnetian. "The program has made us a better company, and represents one of the most important and rewarding business decisions that we have made in the past five years."
Since implementing the BSC, WRRI has seen its colleague engagement levels rise to 73%, which is almost three times the average corporate rate of 26%, according to BlessingWhite's 2006 Employee Engagement Survey.
"Research indicates that the most successful employees are those who understand how the work they perform impacts their company's success," said Minnetian. "The Balanced Scorecard has provided a framework to define our strategy, communicate it to our employees, and align it with individual performance. This approach has helped WRRI create a culture centered around meaningful work and empowerment.
"I am most proud of the manner in which our colleagues have embraced the Balanced Scorecard principles," added Minnetian. "Our success with the Balanced Scorecard and induction into the Hall of Fame are entirely the result of their commitment."
Created by Dr. Robert Kaplan and Dr. David Norton in 1992, the BSC has been adopted by several thousand corporations worldwide since its inception, and was cited by the Harvard Business Review as one of the most important management ideas of the past 75 years. Launched in 2000, the BSC Hall of Fame Program publicly honors organizations that have successfully implemented the methodology to achieve and sustain breakthrough performance results.
"What WRRI has done in the five years since adopting the Balanced Scorecard is truly remarkable and an excellent illustration of a strategy-focused organization," said Robert L. Howie, Jr., managing director of Palladium and Director of the Hall of Fame program. "WRRI has set a new performance standard for companies within its industry by aligning its global workforce around a common strategy, and motivating its employees to make executing that strategy everyone's job."

Infineon closes Israel R&D center
German based chip giant Infineon Technology has closed it's R&D centre in Israel and fired all 39 employees.
The R&D centre in Israel is located in Netanya and was founded in 1995 to develop ultra-wide band (UWB) technology for broadband wireless connectivity for transmitting heavy multimedia files. UWB is a future product that does not yet have a standard or market in the foreseeable future, so it was decided to halt development activity in the area at this time, a company spokesperson told Globes.

zebra pleco?
I do not know much about plecostomus, but while browsing I came across a zebra pleco and fell in love with it
I was looking through a guide and it says that they get about 3 inches long (did I read wrong?) but need at least a 30 gallon tank.
I thought that was odd--
I would think that a 10 gallon would be fine, though I do now know much about their habits.
I have a 20 gallon tank that I am re-doing
I was going to get a plakat male betta and 6 cory catfish for it, but now I am considering a zebra pleco as well
I was also going to get driftwood for the tank because of the tannis and because pelcos like it right?
There would also be fake plants, pea gravel-y substrate and aeration that should make a nice current for it, though not bother the betta. .
I would also make hiding places in rockwork.
Would this be a suitable habitat for a zebra pleco? I noticed that my bristle-nosed pleco would chase my peppered cory cats around in my 55 gallon, so would a zebra pleco bother the cory cats? Would a school of khuli loach be more suitable?
Thanks guys~
I read a bit more on them and they need super fast moving waters so they would not be mixed with a betta.
They're also said to be extremely rare?
$200 each?
Does anyone know more about these guys?
I don't think they are that small. There are several videos of them on youtube.
These might help you.
Planet Catfish: Zebra pleco and zebrapleco.com
They need super high oxygen and very high temperature. Those don't often go together so the aquarium turnover needs to be extremely high. That's why they won't mix with any of the fish you listed. Ten gallons is probably way too small for these reasons.
They are rare in the wild, and I know Brazil had halted their export. Unsure if that has changed since I read about it. That's another reason for a bigger tank. If you buy these guys you should be breeding them. The $200 for one that you saw? Yeah that's cheap. I've never seen them that low. Captive bred ones that I've seen for sale have always been $500.
This species is in our profiles, click the shaded name: Hypancistrus zebra or Zebra Plecostomus. I had one for several years.
Actual Zebra plecos as you have seen are very rare and expensive. There are a few similar ones for much cheaper though.
Just yesterday we picked up a Colombian zebra (L129). Color is off a bit but otherwise identical in size and care.
200 is about average....although price depends on location and certain times of the year....i had one many years ago and i think i got it for under 100 bucks
What is many years ago? Before their export was banned it wasn't that hard to get one. Someone linked an old add from the 70's - 2 zebra plecos for $5. Even a little over a year ago it wasn't hard to find them for around $100
most zebras these days are being locally bred (here anyway)
but that doesn't mean they sell them any cheaper
Yeah, all of them now are captive bred and generally theres not enough supply in any local spot so no reason to ship further. Not the easiest fish to breed unfortunately.

August 22, 2005
The AIDS-related death rates of inmates in jails and state prisons have significantly decreased, according to data discussed on Sunday by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the AP/Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. According to officials, the mortality rate from AIDS-related illnesses in jails decreased from 20 per 100,000 inmates in 1988 to eight per 100,000 in 2002. In state prisons, AIDS-related death rates dropped from 100 per 100,000 inmates in 1995 to 15 per 100,000 in 2000. Death rates for suicide and homicide also decreased among inmates. Officials attribute the declines to improved medical treatment and a more concerted effort to separate violent criminals from other offenders. Another reason for the declines is that advocacy groups have become more aggressive in filing lawsuits to improve conditions in jails and state prisons, according to Kara Gotsch, public policy coordinator for the American Civil Liberties Union's National Prison Project (Yost, AP/Cleveland Plain Dealer, 8/22).

Kaylie: Where's Kim?
Kari: At home.
Kari: Where's your Uncle Chris?
Kaylie: Riding bike.
Apparently it was quite traumatic when I went for a ride on New Years Day -- I haven't come home yet! It's pretty incredible what kids can process at that age, isn't it?
Training update: After the 3-hour bike adjustment on Saturday, I needed to catch up on some sleep, so I skipped my weights session at the Y last night. The extra 90 minutes of zzzzz made a huge difference! (I'll still get two sessions this week, so don't despair.) And the weather forecast for the week makes it look like the party may be coming to an end ... with a romantic getaway to Milwaukee planned this weekend (including the, ahem, WCA 'Cross banquet*), my training will start to look more like what Bill envisioned. January is a transition month to "just stay in shape" anyway, and we've had a fortunate run of good luck and good weather that I took advantage of. The past couple of weeks are in the bank, and it's comforting to know that I don't have to kill myself in the snow and slush (or on the trainer!) that's sure to come for a little while longer.
* Kim and I are starting our year-long celebration of our 10-year wedding anniversary by heading to Milwaukee on the same weekend I proposed to her. Only I miscalculated, and I actually got down on my knee in the snow on Milwaukee's lakefront 11 years ago ... woops! The 'Cross banquet just happens to be Sunday night between Milwaukee and Madison -- I swear it had nothing to do with our scheduling, and Kim has been very gracious to agree that we could attend. It'll even out in early October, when I miss a race weekend to go back to Pennsylvania and the place we honeymooned!
(And yes, our wedding was in May. But we agreed to push back our trip out East to avoid any conflict with school or the road-racing season. Now, of course, it looks like I'll be free that weekend in May, but Kim may have finals to study for!)

Our Opinion: Group opposes weakening of judicial branch
News Tribune editorial
Wednesday, August 29, 2012
Courts decide divisive issues.
In an ironic twist, voters in November will decide a divisive proposal to alter Missouri Nonpartisan Court Plan.
Opponents of the proposed changes organized last week as Missourians for Fair and Impartial Courts. The group is headed by six former state Supreme Court chief justices.
The group is encouraging Missourians not to alter the plan approved by voters in 1940 as a process to select judges for the state supreme, appellate and selected circuit courts.
Here's how the plan works. The governor selects a judge from a slate of nominees advanced by a selection panel. The seven-member panel for the appeals and Supreme Court vacancies includes: a supreme court judge (usually the chief justice); three non-lawyer citizens appointed by the governor every other year, to serve six-year staggered terms; and three lawyers, elected every other year by members of the Missouri Bar in their region, also to serve six-year staggered terms.
Changes proposed by lawmakers advanced by slim majorities in both chambers and will appear on the November ballot.
The changes include: Replacing the high court judge with a non-voting retired judge; increasing the number of governor-appointed citizens from three to four; and allowing the governor to appoint all four citizen members during the four-year term, rather than naming only one member every other year. The lawyers' elections wouldn't change.
Those changes are significant, according to amendment supporters, united as Better Courts for Missouri.
The amendment will "break the monopoly that trial attorneys and interest groups have on the selection of judges," according to Rich Chrismer, a spokesman for the group. He added the amendment would allow "the people to exercise more accountability through our elected governor."
A counter argument, advanced by former Chief Justice William Ray Price Jr., is the existing plan "tries to impose checks and balances and moderates the type of people (on the panel) to keep them away from politics and bigmoney contributions as best we can."
We believe that Price and fellow opponents of the amendment have the stronger argument.
Checks and balances are functions of the three separate but equal branches of government — executive, legislative and judicial.
The amendment would transfer power to the governor, thereby strengthening the executive branch and weakening the judicial branch.

Amazing episode! This is why I love the Animé!

I would love to link up with people!
It's a whole new world we live in,
It's a whole new way to see,
It's a whole new place,
With a brand new attitude
But you still gotta catch 'em all
And be the best that you can be!
In this episode, Ash's egg finally hatched into a Phanpy! Phanpy was a little scared of Ash and Pikachu at first, but I liked how it became friends with them later in the episode. It's cool when Ash rescued Pikachu and Phanpy when they're heading towards the waterfall. It's cool when Phanpy used Rollout and knocked out Team Rocket's Pokémon.
Overall this was a good episode, I'm glad Ash finally got a Ground-type Pokémon. It's a nice addition to his team.
Pokémon XY
Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!
Gomazou was cute and I think it will be a powerful partner of Satoshi. One thing that does not make sense is Gomazou took damage from Pikachu's Juuman Boruto/ Thunderbolt since it is a ground type which is immune to electric attacks. This episode was all right but not fantastic in my opinion.
Something I noticed about this episode was how not on the ball Brock was at one point.
When hanyp first got captured by TR and Ash had Pikachu use Thunderbolt, Brock is usually the one to warn Ash that the current could carry (maybe not saying this exact thing the whole time) and effect another Pokemon, in this case, Phanpy.
Where was Brock with this warning in this episode?
My top favorites
Claimed by me!
"If you fail to plan, you plan to fail" - Sgt. Greg Parker, SRU
I was glad that Phanpy hatched so soon and it was pretty adorable in my view. I found Team Rocket's entrance in egg costumes really funny, but seeing Pikachu zap Phanpy was sad, even if it was accidental and Electric-type attacks shouldn't have affected Phanpy. Phanpy hanging out with TR and Meowth painting his tail like a Phanpy was funny also.
Finally Phanpy hatched from the egg! I thought it was so cute but to me it getting injured cuz of Pikachu's Thunderbolt made very little sense given how Phanpy's a ground type and should've been immune. ^^;


text: Is there any way to name the columns of an array so that they can be called with a string, but still used like an ordinary array? What I have in mind is very similar to a record array, but with homogenous types. Having different types implies that certain operations (e.g., mean, sum) don't make sense, in general. For example, I want to do something like: #~~~~~~~ >>> import numpy as np >>> color = np.array([(1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6)], ... dtype=[('r', '<f4'), ('g', '<f4'), ('b', '<f4')]) # get the average (grayscale) of the first row >>> color[0].mean() TypeError: cannot perform reduce with flexible type #~~~~~~~ BTW, I actually want add the fields (columns) for all records (rows), not just each row individually, but `color.mean(axis=1)` doesn't make sense because `color` is actually a 1D array of records. Thanks, -Tony

On Monday, June 9, Continental, American, Delta, and United rolled back the $20 fare hike implemented during the weekend. Northwest, which was the last airline to match the hike, and US Airways have yet to recall their $20 increase. This is only the fifth time this year (out of 17 attempts) that a fare hike hasn't been successful across-the-board.
Good news! Right?
Mostly, but this is where it gets interesting. Within hours of the recall, United sent forth a new $20 fare increase. If this doesn't seem like a logical move to you, you're not alone, but a closer look at the details reveals some shrewd maneuvering on United's part.
According to FareCompare.com CTO Graeme Wallace, this fare hike carefully avoids routes served by low-cost carriers, particularly Southwest, as well as major hub cities such as New York, Chicago, and Houston. One can deduce, then, that United's hike is aimed squarely at routes where competition is minimal and profits are low, namely service to secondary hubs and small, out-of-the-way airports.
Well, leave it to United to kill a good buzz. But despite United's new fare increase, there is hope to be found for passengers tired of rising prices. The fact that this wide-ranging $20 increase didn't stick could be seen as the airlines admitting that prices, and passengers' wallets, are nearly maxed out. Yes, United is now trying to stick it to less-popular routes, but if the airlines are afraid that pushing airfares further upward could mean empty planes on major routes, we may be looking at a reprieve.
That's all speculation, of course, but I like to end on an optimistic note. So let's keep our chins up—until the next fare hike, anyway.

The Triumph of … Liberalism?
What the ballot initiatives mean.
As Democrats eagerly tout their break-even performance in House, Senate, and gubernatorial races as a grand triumph, and as Republicans spin the same numbers into an affirmation of the conservative status quo, both sides are overlooking the election's most astonishing results: the ballot initiatives.
Initiatives have made news in recent years by advancing conservative causes: limits on gay rights, immigration, and affirmative action. And there were certainly some initiatives to delight the right this year, too. Voter initiatives approved in Alaska and Hawaii banned gay marriage. An initiative in Michigan upheld a ban on assisted suicide. Initiatives in the deep South further restricted the rights of prisoners (who knew there were any restrictions left to impose?). An Alaska measure made English the state's official language. And a Washington initiative modeled on California's Proposition 209 abolished state affirmative action programs.
But the overriding theme of the 1998 initiatives is not conservative at all. It is that American voters, at least in this complacent year, are a lot more liberal than Republican pollsters would have you believe.
Initiatives rewarded both lefty libertarians and paleoliberals. On the libertarian front, five states--Alaska, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Arizona--put medical marijuana on the ballot, and five states approved (or in Arizona's case, re-approved) it. That means the entire Western flank of the nation now permits marijuana as medicine. Oregon voters also killed an initiative to re-criminalize marijuana possession. Initiatives in California and Missouri expanded legalized gambling, a libertarian cause increasingly embraced by Democrats. And both Colorado and Washington rejected bans on partial birth abortion.
(The Colorado abortion vote is a powerful argument against those who say that initiatives are dangerous because they are too crude and voters are too easily conned. At the same time Coloradans refused to ban partial birth abortion, they also voted to require parental notification for children seeking abortion. The split vote on abortion suggests a subtlety among voters that critics of initiatives rarely acknowledge.)
The initiatives also expressed a surprisingly strong faith in government and a willingness to expand it. Voters gave a full-throated endorsement to public education. Californians approved a $9 billion school bond issue, and Rhode Islanders OKed a (much) smaller one. Coloradans rejected a proposal to give tax credits for private school tuition, and South Dakotans rebuffed an effort to stop financing schools with property taxes.
Five states--Arizona, Maine, Michigan, New Jersey, and North Carolina--endorsed ballot initiatives to expand state environmental funding and, in all but Arizona, by huge margins. South Dakotans voted to restrict corporate hog farming, as well. Only in Oregon, where a massively broad ban on logging was proposed, did an environmental initiative fail. On animal rights, too, voters cast ballots for more government regulation, choosing to ban cockfighting in Arizona, animal baiting in Missouri, and animal traps and horsemeat sales in California. (Alaska did reject a ban of wolf traps, and Ohioans voted to continue the hunting of mourning doves.)
Washingtonians voted to raise the minimum wage. Floridians imposed a new waiting period for gun purchases. Arizona and Massachusetts both passed campaign finance reforms allowing public funding of state candidates. Nebraska--conservative Nebraska--turned down an effort to impose mandatory restraints on state spending. Iowa gender neutralized its constitution (New Hampshire did not), and Florida passed an equal rights initiative. And, in the "it may not sound like progress but it is" department, Utah residents overturned a 102-year-old law limiting the property rights of married women, and South Carolinians struck the miscegenation ban from the state constitution.
Democrats afflicted with a foolish optimism may view these initiative victories as a sign of an impending liberal majority. I suspect they represent something else: the generosity of the prosperous. According to exit polls, American voters feel happy and rich. These votes reflect a generous, expansive mood. Sick people want to smoke a joint? Let 'em, what harm does it do? More money for schools? Sure! Clean water? You bet! These are not liberal activist votes, cast because the initiatives advance a progressive agenda. They seem to be smile-on-the-face votes, cast because the initiatives are modest and well-intentioned and, at worst, harmless.
