I'm new to the forum but I would like to say that my pink campion - grown from wild seed collected last year - has been non stop flowering since may last year and the seedlings from this year have never died and are flourishing. the plants in my garden have had this early start before and unusually I had a lovely show of tulips from early on until about July - so sometimes unusually mild weather gives us a bit more to smile about when we wander round our gardens.
Anticipation of what will come and how the plants will manage may mean that we in the end will be able to grow many more exotics in our gardens
Well I think the season's have gone all to pot. In my back yard I have a few pots with several plants in and I am amazed that there is so many flowering at this time of year, today 8th of january i have snap dragons on the third flourish, geraniums still flowering and lastly some self set lobelia which has been in flower since mid may. I have not tended to the plants since october, so who is looking after them? My rhodedendeum also flowered in november!!!!
I agree, i had a mixed pot of flowers in the garden that last flowered in August/ late summer and they have just started to flower again!!!! These seasons have all turned really weird.
I still have Fuchsias flowering in my front garden and lobelia which I grew from seed last year. My spring bulbs are popping through aswell. As much I like this very mild weather we could do with some cold weather to rid us of all the bugs.It is nice to go out into the garden thought, not knowing what you are going to see growing next. If this weather keeps up we will mowing lawn before we know it.
My Spring bulbs are yet to come up yet but hope fully they will be up soon. The weather around hear is really strange. last month it snowed for a day and now we have bright sun the leaves on our trees dont know what to do, one minute they are falling off and the next they think that it's Spring again and are coming back on....
I've been out into the garden today and Ive got Crocus in flower and hyacinths are also popping up. Here in Bournemouth we have had only one frost and no snow, today it is so mild, its more like April than January. No wonder the flowers and bulbs are confused.
we too have a crocus out
Lancashire garden... I was amazed today to see, in the shelterd garden, that the crocus have flowered ! seemingly overnight. Their growth over the past 2 days is pheneminal and they are fully formed and beautiful. I also have several azalia in flower, - all be it not in their nornal spring glory, but they should be asleep now .... bless them. Can anyone tell me .... does this mean that they will rest until next year or will the poor little loves struggle to flower all through the spring?
West Mids garden I have carnations that have never stopped flowering, likewise penstemon and a yellow rose - likewise I wonder how this will effect next years flowering.
west midlands .i have camellia in flower also an antirhinum that has self set and flowered since autumn, muscari ,arabis and a bit of pulmanaria,. however daffodils,crocus,hyacinths and tulips are no further ahead than usual.why?
In my Stafordshire garden we have a Lupin just in bud. Our star of the veld also has a flower and a margaretta is also flowereing as well as a yellow rose in bud. my ivy leaved geraniums in baskets are still alive and other geraniums still are flowering
My rural Gloucestersire garden seems to think it's still late Summer - hollyhocks and bedding geraniums still putting on a brave show, as well as a climbing rose flowering in the holly tree, cheek by jowl with all the red berries. Wierd! Has anybody else noticed the insects are still out and about as well?
Just to add to the pot - I have had Clematis Niobe and Clematis Ernest Markham covered in flowers all winter. It is bizarre to look outside and see them covered in sparkly frost. Bulb wise, I had hyacinths starting to flower last month and now there are crocuses too. I live in Cambridge, and my garden is not that sheltered. Winter has been very very strange. well the whole year, really!
we havent had any frost or snow down here in cornwall its been so mild , i have daffodils, crocuses, roses, my camellias are looking lovely i hope we dont have any hard frost i would hate to loose everything.
Weather difficult for novice gardeners! I have an ornamental quince (chaenomeles japonica) that I should like to move but it already has very tiny buds. Can I do it or is it too late? I know it flowers early but I've been waiting for the garden to go to sleep for Winter! Thanks. Also wish to move two Hebes but am more confident about these.
Keen novice, my chaenomeles is now in full flower. My advice would be to wait until yours has finished flowering before trying to move it.
The mild weather has meant I have been pottering around the garden far more than is usual in January. I have even mown the lawn! It seems a strange time of year to be dead-heading summer flowers! However, the frosts over the last few days have put paid to the begonias, marigolds and nasturtiums, so I have removed them all now and am waiting to see all my spring bulbs come into flower - snowdrops are already doing so.
Thanks for the advice - bit of a bind but I need to go with Nature's flow! Does this mean I can move it straight after flowering or should I wait until November/Dec. 2012 when it might be dormant?!

If scanning a line of verse is difficult for you, do not fret. As the cliché goes, practice makes perfect. In this lesson, Ill go over some of the tricks of scansion and offer some ways to more easily identify a lines meter.
Take this opening line of one of Shakespeares most famous sonnets, titled either Sonnet 18 or by the first line:
Shall I compare thee to a summers day?
Your first task should be to identify polysyllabic words that can only be pronounced in one way. Compare and summers are two such words, an iamb and a trochee, respectively:
˘ / / ˘
Shall I compare thee to a summers day?
Saying COMpare or sumMERS would sound awkward, as this is not how they are pronounced in normal speech. We have another hint in a, which is part of the article-noun combination: a summers. Nearly always, an article is left unstressed to allow accent to fall of the significantly more important noun (especially with a monosyllabic noun, though it holds true even for polysyllables). We can apply this principle:
˘ / ˘ / ˘
Shall I compare thee to a summers day?
Looking at the last syllable, day, we can clearly accentuate it. It is natural for a noun following such a weak syllable as -mers to be stressed. Also, our voices tend to rise at the end of a question (though they dont necessarily have to). So we have:
˘ / ˘ / ˘ /
Shall I compare thee to a summers day?
This leaves Shall I and thee to. Already you should be noticing a pattern of iambs in the six syllables we have scanned so far. Looking at these two feet, we have a possibility of either an iamb or a trochee in each, depending on which syllable we consider to be more important. This is where looking at the entire line becomes necessary.
Lets look at the third foot, thee to, first. Is it truly important, rhetorically, to give the pronoun a stress? No. But neither is it important for the preposition, to, to receive stress. However, given the content and the fact that this foot is surrounded by iambs, I consider to to be slightly more stressed than either thee or a, the syllables surrounding it. Thus we can apply MCA and scan this foot as an iamb:
˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘ /
Shall I compare thee to a summers day?
Note: I am not in any way claiming that to should receive as much stress as -pare or sum-, nor am I saying that thee is as weak as a. But since it is stronger than the syllables on either side of it, we scan it as a stress.
Now we only have Shall I remaining, which again is either an iamb or a trochee. While it is perfectly acceptable--and often effective, as well see in Lesson 2--to substitute a trochee for an iamb, there is no reason for it here, except to add a slight emphasis to the fact that the line is a question. Because this is not a strong reason, the foot should also be scanned as an iamb. So our finished scansion is perfect iambic pentameter, as we see when we add our foot divisions:
˘ / |˘ / | ˘ / |˘ / |˘ /
Shall I compare thee to a summers day?
Note: There are often, as discussed, several possible ways to scan a given line. So long as the scansion is logically justifiable, it is not incorrect, though in nearly all (I wont say all, because as soon as I do, someone will find an exception) lines, there is a scansion that is more correct than any other.
Also Note: When reading verse aloud, the reader may choose to stress syllables that might not normally be stressed (such as, in this example, thee). In scansion, however, we must work only with the written words and apply the stresses as the words themselves suggest, regardless of how we might perform it in a reading.
All clear on that? Lets try another. This is a line from Edgar Allan Poes Annabel Lee:
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Once again we have a couple clues to get us started. Stronger can only be logically pronounced as a trochee, and the love is another article-noun combination. So we can start our scansion:
/ ˘ ˘ /
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Now that we have these, we can look for other primary stresses. The first instance of love seems to me to be a rather strong syllable in this line. We can also look for short phrases that work like polysyllabic words in the way they can be pronounced. By far is one such phrase; the emphasis tends to fall on far. So our scansion so far looks like:
/ / ˘ ˘ / ˘ /
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Note: Does by really receive an equal stress to -ger? No. But the heavier accents on stron- and on far overshadow both syllables so much that we can count them as unstressed.
No other strong accents exist in this line, and youll probably notice the two-syllable spaces between each stress, suggesting anapestic meter. Before we jump to conclusions, however, we want to look for syllables that might receive MCA. Because each unscanned syllable, save one, is bordered on one side by a strong stress, MCA is unlikely here. Ignore but for now, and compare our, it, was, and than to the syllables on either side of them. You should find that none of them feels strong enough to be equal to the stressed syllable, so we let them all remain unstressed:
˘ / ˘ ˘ / ˘ ˘ / ˘ ˘ /
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Now we have one syllable remaining. Should but be stressed or unstressed? Try reading the line aloud a few times, stressing but and leaving it unstressed. As a conjunction, it is a ready candidate for MCA, however it does not seem strong enough to overpower our sufficiently for us to consider it stressed. So we will leave it unstressed and add our foot divisions:
˘ ˘ / | ˘ ˘ / |˘ ˘ / | ˘ ˘ /
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
And we see anapestic tetrameter. Lets try one more, again from Shakespeare. This time well look at the first line of the witches incantation in Macbeth, Act 4, Scene 1:
Double, double, toil and trouble
This time we have three polysyllabic words as hints for where to begin, giving us an easy time of scanning 75% of the syllables:
/ ˘ / ˘ / ˘
Double, double, toil and trouble
The remaining two syllables should be easy for you. Obviously and isnt nearly as powerful as trou- and is probably weaker than toil, which is clearly stronger than the -ble that precedes it. So were practically done, and just need to insert our foot divisions:
/ ˘ | / ˘ | / ˘ | / ˘
Double, double, toil and trouble
And we have a very obvious trochaic tetrameter. Trochaic meter, when written without substitutions, is often very easy to scan. This is because it requires strong stresses to avoid slipping into iambic meter, to which the English language naturally leans.
I hope this helps you with your scansion. If youd like further practice, here are some more lines to scan:

The Madera South Stallion boys found themselves in a nine-point hole at halftime of a basketball game where every possession mattered and were able to pull out a 35-34 overtime victory over the San Joaquin Memorial-Fresno Panthers.
The Stallions outscored the Panthers 10-2 in the fourth quarter to tie the game and then pulled ahead in overtime and held off two late Panther chances for the Stallions' first boys basketball County/Metro Athletic Conference win Wednesday night.
"I thought that was the key, was to be aggressive," head coach Jody Sharp said. "We were too passive in the first half and they were more aggressive and went to the free throw line. Hence, the second quarter was where they scored most of their points."
The Panthers scored eight of their 10 second-quarter points from the free throw line. The Panthers went 14 of 16 from the free throw line for the game. They missed one of nine free throws in the first half. However, the Panthers took just six free throws in the second half...

NFL Labor Fight Will Resume In Court
The NFLPA decertified on Friday, dissolving itself as a union.
That means the players can now sue the NFL under antitrust laws.
The NFLPA and NFL had spent 17 days with a federal mediator to try to work out a new collective bargaining agreement, but things finally reached an impasse.
"After carefully reviewing all the events that have transpired, the judgement of yours truly … is that no constructive purpose would be served by requesting the parties continue mediation at this time," mediator George Cohn said.
The biggest issue was the NFLPA's request for detailed financial records. With the owners asking the players to take a substantial pay cut, the players want to look at the books.
NFLPA head DeMaurice Smith requested 10 years of audited records from the teams, while the NFL offered five years of individual club's financial documents and profitability data. By decertifying and taking the fight to court, the players hope to get access to all the clubs' books, which could be quite interesting.
If the players are successful, financial info for all 32 clubs would be made available to the public. Not only would the players get to see each team's finances, but so would the media, other owners and fans.
The league, of course, wants no part of that.
The NFL released the following statement after talks broke down.
"The fastest way to a fair agreement is for both the union and the clubs to continue the mediation process. Unfortunately, the players' union has notified our office that at 4 p.m. ET it had 'decertified' and is walking away from mediation and collective bargaining, presumably to initiate the antitrust litigation it has been threatening to file. In an effort to get a fair agreement now, the clubs offered a deal that would have had no adverse financial impact upon veteran players in the early years and would meet the players' financial demands in the latter years."
"The union left a very good deal on the table. It included an offer to narrow the player compensation gap that existed in the negotiations by splitting the difference; guarantee reallocation of savings from first-round rookies to veterans and retirees without negatively affecting compensation for rounds 2-7; ensure no compensation reduction for veterans; implement new year-round health and safety rules; retain the current 16-4 season format for at least two years with any subsequent changes subject to the approval of the league and union; and establish a new legacy fund for retired players ($82 million contributed by the owners over the next two years)."
The fight is likely to go on for some time, so stay tuned.
Monty McMahon is one of the founders of Total Packers. He is probably the most famous graduate of UW-Oshkosh next to Jim Gantner.
The owners could be rid of this process of overpaying athletes for good by transitioning the NFL into a nonpublic corporation they each owned stock in. Each owner could maintain management of their franchise through the bylaws of the corporation, and they could then decide to run their business however they wanted. Professional sports leagues are the only business venture that competes financially with its self. Any other executive would laugh at the idea of bidding against another division of it's business for the services of someone they already employed. The model already exists in MLS. Of course this will never happen because it's too obvious a solution for the megalomaniacal personalities involved.
Though there is some merit in the idea, Jeremy, going from basically a sole proprietorship to a 32 partner owned corporation would have a HUGE impact on the owners' personal finances. Just the tax implications alone would take a team of accountants to figure out. Even bylaws can be changed by a majority of stockholders. That is way too much the risk for an individual owner to take.
The "call for financial statements" has nothing to do with the impasse. It is a smokescreen for the fact that the players think they'll be better off in court than negotiating. Anyone who thinks for a second that the owners "opening their books" would then cause the players to turn around and agree to a deal is seriously naive.
Smith said "open your books in 15 minutes or forget an extension." That is not an offer. It is paramount to saying "part the Red Sea, get me the Hope Diamond and the panties of Grace Kelly in 10 minutes." It is a good comparison to the "deal" that William Wallace offered the commander of the English forces at Stirling. In short, no deal was ever intended to be made. The players were going to litigation, but they wanted to make their "open the books" PR campaign plea one last time.
"Just the tax implications alone would take a team of accountants to figure out."
Of course it would be a huge mess to transition, that would require dozens of lawyers and accounts. Then they wouldn't have to have dozens of lawyers and accountants deal with labor unrest by overpaid children every 15 years.
I am being tortured by basketball and soon I will be tortured by boring ass baseball. They better stop acting like fuckheads and put a pen to paper! UFL has 5 teams and most of the players are wannabes and has beens. The LFL is fine for 5-10 minutes of checking out some t&a. Someone suggested the CFL…hmm…fuck that. Ahhh Fuck! Get a deal in place!

The following comments come from Jim Ratliff, a long time Steering Committee member and librarian at KVCC...
"The Kalamazoo Valley Museum hosted a Reading Together event Friday, March 18 with the screening of the movie Hotel Rwanda. The movie retells the true-life story of a compassionate Hutu hotel manager, Paul Rusesabagina, who housed and saved over a thousand Tutsi refugees during their struggle against the Hutu militia in Rwanda.
Early in the movie the hotel manager declares to his wife after their first witnessing of a neighbor's massacre, "There is nothing we can do." Little did he know the horrors that were ahead of him and his extraordinary, inspirational courage to do what he could to save persecuted friends, families and villagers from the machete.
Watching this movie 15 years after the genocide, attendees spoke of how they remembered there was conflict going on in Rwanda at the time, but had little understanding of the atrocities. Credible accounts estimate up to a million people were killed in just three months during the conflict. One million lives.
It was a difficult story to accept. Several members of the audience were moved to speak to me afterward proclaiming their sorrowful ignorance of the terrible history. Much like the stories retold by Tracy Kidder however, a distant tragedy was brought to life and made more real when recounted through the lives of individuals. Individuals with courage. Individuals who received help from friends and strangers. Individuals with determination to face adversity one day at a time. Individuals who did marvelous deeds to ensure the success of a cause larger than their own.
I'm thankful to the museum for offering this movie, the museum staff who stayed late and the attendees. With the exposure to Hotel Rwanda and Strength in What Remains, hopefully we will have he strength and courage to help others in times of need."
~Jim Ratliff
Over 800 fans of Reading Together and this year's selection, Strength in What Remains, packed the Chenery Auditorium on March 10 to hear the author Tracy Kidder speak. This year the annual author visit signaled the kick off to KPL's community reading program. Kidder spoke eloquently of not only his relationship with the book's subject, Deogratias 'Deo' Niyizonkiza, but also the mythic journey of hope and forgiveness that Deo experienced. The presentation touched upon other timely topics in relation to world health, poverty, and what society can do to make change happen. In addition to speaking, Kidder shared a variety of photos that showed both the beauty of Burundi and the many residents whose lives have changed from proper medical care.
Many attendees commented on the way out that thought Kidder was "fabulous" and that his words really inspired them. I know that I heard Kidder's challenge to work towards asking our leaders make world health an important issue to tackle. If you attended the event, we thank you for participating and hope that it enhanced your reading of Strength in What Remains. There are still many more great events in the coming weeks that will further your enjoyment of the book.
We've read the book, Tracy Kidder has enlightened and entertained us with the inside story of how it came to be written, and this Reading Together season is now in full swing. On Monday night, KPL hosted the program The History of Burundi and Rwanda presented by Kalamazoo College African studies professor, Joseph Bangura. Strength in What Remains has made me naturally curious to know more about the country of Burundi, so I was anxious to hear its history and that of neighboring Rwanda. Apparently many Reading Together participants felt the same way as nearly fifty people attended the program.
Dr. Bangura skillfully took us through the often complicated history and answered many questions posed by the fascinated audience members. The Hutu and Tutsi people, who make up the majority of the population of both countries, were the subject of much of the discussion. It was interesting to learn that the two groups lived quite peacefully together before European colonization. I won't offer more of an explanation for fear of over-simplifying the situation, but I recommend that you watch for Dr. Bangura's thorough and highly informed account in video form, which will soon be available on our website.
Why would God allow human suffering? This is just one of the questions that Strength in What Remains tries to answer.
The author set's the stage for what he considers unacceptable theories (he mentioned this at his talk): "One of the things I've noticed about some of the genocide narratives I've read, people will say, 'God spared me.' The problem I have with that is then you think, 'Well, what about all the people who got their heads chopped off?...So I'm not quite sure that's the way to look at it" (p. 177).
Deo says that human suffering is caused by God letting people do what they want, a sort of Deistic approach; God created human nature and said "you're on your own." (can you find that passage?) It struck me as almost sad, slightly sarcastic and comedic, perhaps due to the desensitization Deo went through.
Sharon, more optimistic, says: "I have a theory," she replied. "I remember thinking long ago, 'We're loved infinitely for however little bit of time we have.' And it's not ultimately tragic to die at any age. Whether we're talking about being blown into little pieces or waht is ultimate tragedy, I just think there isn't ultimate tragedy except for evil, and God doesn't will any evil. And we're surrounded by--I tell the little kids about the Good Shepherd...but the vine and the branches is great, too--but whether we feel it or not, we are surrounded by this tremendously loving presence, and that covers every second of every day. Of everybody" (p. 177).
Sharon's theory, I think, is one of the most unique theories I have come across.
For further reading, other theories (called "theodicies") include: (a) Free will is the greatest gift, which allows for evil and suffering, (b) suffering is God's way of making us stronger, (c) God cannot stop evil and suffering, (d) evil and suffering do not actually exist, (e) for good to exist, its opposite evil must exist. To find them in our catalog, do a subject search for theodicy, or suffering, or good and evil.
In today's post, I'd like to highlight several films that engage in one way or another with the theme of forgiveness (both of oneself and that of others). The affirmative expression of forgiveness and its role in repairing damaged lives and communities will be a central point of discourse during this year's Reading Together programs. Each of these films and their characters either directly or sometimes in subtle ways explores the ways in which subjects negotiate the complexities of forgiveness, either on a broad social level or that of individuals in search of unburdening of some sort of psychic pain in order to reconnect (Ordinary People). Throughout these films, there is a thematic current of struggle to redeem and to mend, coursing its way through the lives of characters as they hunt for meaning in an otherwise turbulent and uncertain world. Whether it's the death row inmate seeking forgiveness prior to his execution in Dead Man Walking or the colonial slave trader in The Mission looking to amend for his earlier crimes amongst the same community he unjustly worked to destroy, films have long probed the difficulties and possibilities involved with reconciliation. So while you're enjoying the book discussions with your fellow community members and participating in a Reading Together program or two, don't forget to supplement your engagement with this always timely and dynamic topic with a thought provoking film from our rich collection.

Pluto is often considered to be a 'binary planet' with its largest moon Charon and now it seems that both share more than a common orbit — they may also share a thin atmosphere.
ANALYSIS: Pluto's 'Thick' Air Isn't Going Anywhere
This new finding arose from new models published in the journal Icarus of the Pluonian system that show gases from Pluto are being transferred to Charon. Charon has a compact orbital distance of only 12,000 miles from the center of Pluto and both bodies orbit around a common point, known as a barycenter, which is located above Pluto's icy surface. Recent observations have shown Pluto's thin atmosphere to be composed mainly of nitrogen and the assumption was that the gas is too heavy and too cold to escape Pluto's gravity.
But new simulations suggest the dwarf planet's atmosphere may be warmer and thicker than anticipated, meaning the nitrogen gas has enough energy to escape Pluto and may be exchanged to Charon and both bodies share a common atmosphere.
ANALYSIS: Pluto's Atmosphere: Big, Poisonous and Comet-like
Should any gases be present around Charon, it is too thin to be detected by ground-based observatories. But NASA's New Horizons mission, which is set to fly through the Pluto-Charon system in July 2015, has instruments that should be able to detect such a thin Charonian atmosphere and decipher if the gases originated from Pluto.
"(Gas transfer is) thought to happen all the time in astronomy, such as in the case of binary stars or exoplanets located close to their stars," Robert Johnson, of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, told New Scientist. "Calculations and computer models are one thing. But here we have a spacecraft that's going to fly by and directly test our simulations, which is quite exciting."

I really want that orange Olds 88. This may have something to do with it. http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/remember-that-...
Shame its just sitting in the snow like that, although it does seem like its in really good shape. Now excuse me while I dig the snow out of my shoes and get back on the road.

The U.S. Ignores the U.N. Charter Because It's Broken
Obama should explain what should replace it.
One possible solution to the current impasse is to broaden the exceptions to bans on the unilateral use of military force, to permit both preventive self-defense and humanitarian interventions. Such proposals have been considered and rejected. So many countries are potential threats, or host mass atrocities during periodic bouts of turmoil, that such exceptions would swallow the ban on war. In particular, there is opposition abroad to Obama's effort to permit unilateral intervention to punish Syria as a user of chemical weapons because of the door it opens to broader application. Why not also intervene to stop the use of other weapons of mass destruction that cause harm to civilians?
Another possible approach is reform of the Security Council. The Guardian recently argued that the permanent members of the Security Council do not fairly represent the world's population: "The obvious solution is enlargement and the replacement of the veto system with majority voting."
But a moment's thought reveals the limits of this idea for a humanitarian agenda. The most populous countries that do not currently have permanent seats are India, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Ethiopia, and Egypt. These are not countries known for pursuing a foreign policy that promotes human rights, and most of them hardly pay attention to the human rights of their own citizens. If they sat on the Security Council and majority rule governed, countries with liberal values would be routinely outvoted. And if the five members with veto power kept it or vetoes were given to additional countries, approval of resolutions would be even harder than it is today. Past efforts to expand the Security Council have failed in the face of opposition of the current veto holders and of geopolitical rivals of countries that have been proposed for a permanent seat.
The deeper problem is that the rules and principles that serve America's interest conflict with the interests of China, Russia, and other countries. The rule of humanitarian intervention would authorize the use of military force against countries where mass atrocities occur—and whether or not you think the political persecution that routinely takes place in China and Russia count as "mass atrocities," both countries experience periodic bouts of political turmoil where mass atrocities really do occur. Even more so for their partners, such as North Korea and Sudan. A rule of humanitarian intervention would help delegitimize these repressive regimes. And the same is true for many other countries in the world, from Pakistan to Ethiopia to Venezuela. Even if China and Russia themselves do not fear an American invasion, they do fear American interventions that will lead either to broader instability or to more American dominance.
China and Russia thus very sensibly resist the establishment of an international norm that authorizes intervention in their own countries and the lands of their allies and not in the United States and (most of) its allies. They are content with the U.N. system, which enables them to oppose efforts to establish such a norm.
Meanwhile, here at home, for 30 years five presidents of both parties have disregarded the U.N. rules on the use of force. It seems fair to say that while the United States continues to use the language of law, its position is more a self-made doctrine of American exceptionalism, which lays out U.S. claims and expectations and does not make them reciprocal for other states (as "law" necessarily does). Something like the Monroe doctrine, but applied to both hemispheres. The Bush-Obama doctrine, as one might call it (though there are some variations between the presidents), extends throughout the world. It declares that dictatorships that stay in power through violence and threaten their neighbors must fear America's might, whatever the rest of the world might say.
This can last only as long as the United States can overwhelm other countries with its power. For a country often thought to be on the brink of decline, it's a bold stance to take.

Monday, December 8, 2008. (AP) -- The Minnesota Timberwolves have fired coach Randy Wittman, two days after a 23-point loss at home to the Los Angeles Clippers. General manager Kevin McHale will take over as coach.
The change was confirmed Monday by a person familiar with the decision. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because an announcement was not yet made.
The team is off to a 4-15 start. McHale picked Wittman to preside over the team's rebuilding following the trade of Kevin Garnett. Wittman went 22-60 in his only full season.

The smartphone announcements at CES 2012 have been coming thick and fast. Below, we've highlighted five of the most promising models to date.
No, this isn't the latest Lumix compact camera from Panasonic. Instead, it's the company's new flagship Android smartphone made in conjunction with ST-Ericsson. The inbuilt sensor has a 13.2MP resolution, but the company claims its platform will be able to support a whopping 20-megapixels. Until very recently, anything above 8MP on a smartphone was unusual. As if that's not enough, the platform also supports 1080p Full HD video recording.
As we discussed earlier this week, smartphone photography is becoming more and more prevalent. Provided they get the 'phone' part right, this could be the dark horse of 2012.
When it comes to buying a new smartphone, most people want the sleekest, slickest model that money can buy. Unfortunately, most of us are unwilling or unable to pay for it. This is where the Huawei Ascend P1 S comes in: it's a perfect example of how the Android platform is allowing feature-packed smartphones to be sold at reasonable prices.
Measuring just 6.68mm at its thinnest point, it's one of the slimmest smartphones in existence; despite a relatively affordable price tag of $US400. It also comes with a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, an 1800mAh battery, 1GB of RAM and an 8-megapixel camera -- all running on Android 4.0. Not bad for a phone that costs half the price of the Samsung Galaxy S II.
How large can traditional smartphones possibly get? If the 4.5in LG Spectrum is anything to go by, the sky's the limit. The Spectrum is a good example of how the Android OS is integrating mobile products under one catch-all umbrella: your smartphone can be your tablet and your tablet can be your smartphone, à la the Samsung Galaxy Note. Or is that already a smartphone? The seamlessness of Android makes it difficult to tell.
In addition to its intriguing form factor, the LG Spectrum sports a 1280 x 720 screen, an 8MP camera and a 1.5Ghz dual-core Qualcomm processor. If you're big-handed (or a fiend for movies on-the-go), the Spectrum could be worth shelling out for.
Stay tuned for more CES coverage...

The Power of Independent Thinking
Fred Singer on Climate Change
Recorded: Friday, June 27, 2003
Originally aired on 06/27/03 on CNN. Dr. Fred Singer, Research Fellow at the Independent Institute discusses the political nature of the global warming debate.

Global Warming: Science Fact or Fiction?
Recorded: Tuesday, February 15, 2000
Is global warming real, imminent, and a threat to human life? Have such predictions been established scientifically? The proposed Global Climate Treaty calls for extensive government controls to reduce fossil fuel use. Yet, there is no scientific consensus to support global-warming pessimism. Would the proposed massive 'carbon' taxes and other controls put our society- especially those most disadvantaged- at great risk? Based on his widely acclaimed book, renowned astrophysicist Fred Singer will separate fact from fiction in this raging global warming debate.

P.J.'s Economics 101
Recorded: Thursday, October 29, 1998
With his numerous books, articles and essays about politics, war and social disorder under his belt, it was only a matter of time until P.J. O'Rourke found his way to the subject of his new book, "Eat the Rich." In "Parliament of Whores," he lampooned the entire U.S. government. "All the Troubles in the World" attacked the pandemic worries of the politically correct; and this time it's the economy, stupid! What is wealth and how do we get it? Or as he asks, "Why do some places prosper and thrive while others just stink?"
As most people (along with many "experts") try to fathom the volatility of financial markets and the complexities of global economies, the man who Time magazine has called "one of America's most hilarious and provocative writers" brings it all into perspective. Who else but P.J. could provide this primer on Wall Street: "In order to understand the stock market we have to realize that, like anything enormous and inert, it's fundamentally stable, and like anything emotion-driven, it's volatile as hell."
But he doesn't stop there. Embarking from Wall Street, P.J. takes us on a hilarious and enlightening worldwide tour of the foibles of governments from Russia to Tanzania, from Albania to Shanghai, and from Hong Kong to Havana, and revisits college economics courses, counteracting them with his own version of Econ 101.
The result is the world's only astute, comprehensive and comic presentation of the basic principles of economics that will truly make you laugh on purpose.

Activision announced the release date of the next-gen Wolfenstein today and it seems the game will arrive in stores not in this unexpectedly crowded month of June or in the dogpile of October/November. Nope, it's going to be released in the lull in between those two periods.
In supernatural World War II shooter Wolfenstein, you'll be able to melt Nazis with a plasma cannon. Some of the other weapons aren't quite so high-tech, though.
Everyone loves a good particle accelerated cannon: it streams like the blasters from Ghostbusters, yet eviscerates like a boiling vat of acid. Ah, the joys of the particle cannon.
Raven Software has been showing off Wolfenstein's single-player campaign quite a bit in recent months. They've been very tight-lipped when it comes to the game's multiplayer, though.
Next-gen consoles are about to be invaded by a horde of pixelated Nazis. The ESRB just rated 1992 first-person shooter Wolfenstein 3D for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
As promised, Raven Software released a new trailer for the next-gen Wolfenstein last night. The video displays a lot of the supernatural elements appearing in this first-person shooter.
Raven Software has announced that a new trailer for their next-gen Wolfenstein game will be aired on GameTrailers TV tomorrow. It's the first trailer to be released for the game since last summer's QuakeCon.
At an event days before New York Comic Con, Activision showed off Wolfenstein but would not divulge any details about the game's multiplayer. Now a collection of images have surfaced that may be screenshots from the game's multiplayer maps.
Raven Software's upcoming sequel to 2001's Return to Castle Wolfenstein has definitely been laying low for awhile now but you should hear a lot more about it soon. Why? It's only a few months away from release.
The Wolfenstein series has always had one foot in the occult - after all, Wolfenstein 3D had the player fighting Robo-Hitler. Still, the upcoming PS3/Xbox 360/PC shooter Wolfenstein has all the previous installments beat in terms of overall weirdness.

Springfield airport to close for runway renovation
Wednesday, July 27, 2011
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — The airport in Missouri's third largest city will be shut down for several days in August to resurface a runway.
The Springfield-Branson National Airport plans to close from 11 a.m. Friday, Aug. 12, until 11 a.m. Monday, Aug. 15. The closing will affect all commercial flights, private airlines and general aviation.
Crews have been working since June to resurface one of the airport's two runways. The 72-hour closing will allow crews to do resurfacing work at the intersection of the two runways. The runway is to be complete in early November.
Airport officials say the new surface should last 25 to 30 years.
The last time both runways were shut down for maintenance or construction was in 1972.

The Complete Poetical Works of Thomas Hardy, 5 vol., ed. by Samuel Hynes (1982–95), is standard. Hardy's correspondence is in The Collected Letters of Thomas Hardy, ed. by Richard Little Purdy and Michael Millgate, 7 vol. (1978–88); and is supplemented by Letters of Emma and Florence Hardy, ed. by Michael Millgate (1996). The standard sources of bibliographic and textual information are Richard Little Purdy, Thomas Hardy: A Bibliographical Study (1954, reissued 1978); and Simon Gatrell, Hardy the Creator: A Textual Biography (1988).
Florence Emily Hardy, The Life of Thomas Hardy, 1840–1928 (1962, reissued 1970)—a conflation of The Early Life of Thomas Hardy, 1840–1891 (1928), and The Later Years of Thomas Hardy, 1892–1928 (1930)—is very largely Hardy's own work. A new edition, now credited to Thomas Hardy, The Life and Work of Thomas Hardy, ed. by Michael Millgate (1984), restores the text as Hardy left it prior to the changes made by his widow and thus possesses some autobiographical status. The standard biography is Michael Millgate, Thomas Hardy (1982, reissued with revisions, 1992). Robert Gittings, Young Thomas Hardy (1975), contains valuable insights. James Gibson, Thomas Hardy: A Literary Life (1996), is a useful short account. The fullest guide to Hardy "places" is Denys Kay-Robinson, Hardy's Wessex Reappraised (1972).
Contemporary reviews and early commentaries are available in R.G. Cox (ed.), Thomas Hardy: The Critical Heritage (1970, reissued 1995). D.H. Lawrence, Study of Thomas Hardy and Other Essays, ed. by Bruce Steele (1985), still offers brilliant if idiosyncratic insights. Norman Page, Thomas Hardy (1977), provides a good general critical introduction. The wide range of recent criticism may be represented by J. Hillis Miller, Thomas Hardy: Distance and Desire (1970); Michael Millgate, Thomas Hardy: His Career as a Novelist (1971, reissued 1994); Dale Kramer (ed.), Critical Approaches to the Fiction of Thomas Hardy (1979); Dennis Taylor, Hardy's Poetry, 1860–1928 (1981); Penny Boumelha, Thomas Hardy and Women: Sexual Ideology and Narrative Form (1982); Kristin Brady, The Short Stories of Thomas Hardy (1982); Peter Widdowson, Hardy in History: A Study in Literary Sociology (1989); Margaret R. Higonnet (ed.), The Sense of Sex: Feminist Perspectives on Hardy (1993); and Robert Langbaum, Thomas Hardy in Our Time (1995).

Ton of talent on SFL's all-league first team
That Roseville's Tanner Roland was named soccer MVP in the Sierra Foothill League (see related story at www.rosevillpt.com or www.placersports.com ) was a significant accomplishment considering the amazing talent spread throughout the conference.
The Tigers' senior striker earned the top honor from the league's coaches, and was joined by four of his Roseville teammates and four Granite Bay players on the all-league first team. The top two teams in the league's regular season were highly honored, along with third-place Rocklin, the team that won the section title after winning the postseason tournament.
League champion Granite Bay's first-team contingent came from its back line and midfield, an area of the field the Grizzlies dominated on the way to a 10-2 league mark. Senior defenders Jonathan Beach and Jordan Weber were joined by junior midfielders Kyle Howarth and Kendall Modiste on the first team.
"Jon was our captain and defensive leader," said Granite Bay coach Steve Fischer. "One of his greatest weapons is his long throw-in. Jordan is quiet and unassuming, but he shuts down his side of the field. He rarely makes mistakes, and when he does, he recovers quickly."
"Kyle is big, tall, solid and tough," Fischer added. "He controls the game from his defensive midfield position. Kendall is extremely talented, with great ball skills and quick feet, and he controls the tempo of almost every game."
In addition to league MVP Roland, three seniors and a talented sophomore were critical to Roseville's resurgence and earned first team recognition. Seniors Tyrone Richardson and Micah Hayes were the anchors of the Tiger defense in front of first-team goalkeeper Joshua Pulver. Sophomore Giovanni Reader began the year as the Roseville sweeper before making the move to midfield.
"Micah Hayes was given the assignment of marking the fastest player on the other team," said Roseville coach Pablo Gutierrez. "He was willing to move from left to right and from stopper to sweeper without hesitation. Tyrone Richardson broke his arm in the second game and was out for four games. He came back playing harder and stronger than before. He was one of the toughest players on our defense."
"In the second half Josh was the best goalie in the area and Giovanni was able to play any position without any difficulties."
Senior sweeper Conor Delaney and three juniors earned selection to the first team from section champion Rocklin. Midfielders Seth Casiple and Chris Streeter and striker Walter Finney will return a strong core next year for the Thunder.
Del Oro senior midfielder Casey Meuser heads a strong group of three Golden Eagles who earned first-team recognition. Senior goalkeeper Alec Lyons and junior forward Kolby Mitnick were the other Del Oro selections.
Seniors Cole Alexander, Kody Duff and Roy Pedro carried the banner for Oakmont on the league's first team. It was a disappointing year, record-wise, for the Vikings, but this trio was solid all season long.
"Cole Alexander (the league's No. 2 scorer) created many of the chances on his own using his strength, determination and creativity," said Oakmont coach Mark Broers. "He is a team leader and one of the few true goal scorers in the league."
"Roy Pedro played defender, midfield and winger. He can put a lot of pressure on the defense or clamp down on the other team's strikers. He has been a team captain for the past two years and a real leader on and off the field. Kody Duff is one of the top players in the league when it comes to all-around ability. He truly loves to play, and he can shoot, pass, dribble, tackle, and see the entire field. He is one of the best I've ever coached in 16 years and a true pleasure to work with."
A pair of players who showed the diversity to play multiple positions are Woodcreek's first-team representatives. Matt Glasgo and Bobby Reeves were the leaders of a young group of Timberwolves.
"Matt started the year as a midfielder, but in order to stabilize the defense I moved him to play sweeper," said Woodcreek coach Chris Branson. "He made a huge difference in the strength and decision-making of our of our defense."
"Bobby Reeves was the leading goal-scorer on the JV team last year and started the year at striker for us. I moved him to defense for the second Rocklin game and he played there for most of the second half of the season. He is exceptionally fast and that is what the defense was lacking through the first half of the 0-6 SFL season."

EVANS, Ga. (WRDW)- Four people were arrested after a drug raid on Mahoney Drive off Blanchard Road in Evans 5 p.m. Wednesday, according to Captain Steve Morris with the Columbia County Sheriff's Office.

He seen the people from the car on the berm... and a truck was on the left of him so he had no choice but to hit the car... He totaled his truck(it is 3 feet shorter in the front now). Shashed his head in to the wind sheild. Bruised his chest on the steering wheel. and bruised his pinky finger..
I was so relieved that his injuries were minor...
Ok now onto the rant.. what the fuck were they doing stopped in the middle of the highway.. Who knows.. My brother found out there was nothing wrong with their car they were just stopped..So Why didn't they just pull off onto the berm.. Or just I don't know had your damn flashers on..

I'm so glad your brother is alright!!
Drivers amaze me....I have to fight road rage all the time, I just want to throttle people who have no business having a driver's license. I had a lady a couple of days ago who did use her turn signal to turn into a business off the busy highway but just as she turned she came to a complete STOP...her poor car had to go up over a 3 inch curb and I guess she didn't want to hurt her car.....
I nearly hit her in the ass the dumb bitch! Then it woulda been MY fault. I learned a long time ago not to follow too close, people....they're CRAZY!!!

Some People Just Have No Common Sense....Thats Why As A Driver You Always Have To Think About What The Other Drivers Are Going To Do Before They Know....It's Terrible Luck That Your Brother Had No Chance To Do That...Glad He Is OK Though
Apr 3 @ 12:55AM

...The fundamental attribution error is the tendency for people to over-emphasize dispositional or personality-based explanations for behaviors observed in others while under-emphasizing situational explanations.
(From Wikipedia)
I recall from my social psychology class the definition was similar.
Apr 3 @ 12:59AM
yes we are glad your brother is ok... but peeps are stupid everywhere... we are in a truck (big truck) we do oversized loads all the time and you wouldnt believe what peeps do
... hope it helps...
Apr 3 @ 1:04AM

Apr 3 @ 1:12AM
I am so glad your brother was not seriously injured, though I am sure he is hurting like hell right now.
Living here in Palm Springs, the retirement community of So. California we have the same problems with the elderly retired folks. They stop without warning..they turn into oncoming traffic and pretty much drive in a spaced out condition. So much so the local police departments have instituted a new criminal code. DWO - Driving While Old !!
Apr 3 @ 1:14AM
Goes to show you anything can happen, especially stupid things like that with stupid people stopping out in the middle of a highway for no reason. That's Ohio for ya.
Apr 3 @ 1:18AM

defensive driving:
drive as if everyone around you
is a homicidal moron.
Stay as clear of them as you can.
Let the world pass you
as you trail the vehicle ahead of you
one car length for every 10 mph of speed.
use truck signals while changing lanes or passing:
turn signal and horn.
Plan to get there 10 minutes later.
Start out 10 minutes earlier.
Apr 3 @ 1:56AM
I agree, defensive driving is key. I was taught that at 16 and have been doing that since. Best thing one can do!
Apr 3 @ 2:02AM
Ahhh yes defensive driving is the key.. I wasn't with him so I don't know what all happened that morning....

Friday, January 10, 2014
With winter weather and hazardous road conditions causing cancellations for the third day this week, Callaway County school administrators shared their districts' plans for making up the missed class time.
Because the calendar for Fulton Public Schools is based on hours of instruction time rather than days, Superintendent Jacque Cowherd said students are not likely to have to attend any make-up days this year.
"We have an adequate number of hours to make up about nine days, so we're not anticipating adding on to the school year," Cowherd said.
Though there was little accumulation from Wednesday night and Thursday morning, Cowherd said it was not the type of situation in which the district would go to its new snow routes.
"Snow routes are only effective if you've got inches of snow — it addresses when buses aren't able to make turn arounds," he said. "Today's issue was the forecast of freezing rain coming in at 7 a.m. We knew we had treacherous roads — especially around the middle school — and if we had freezing rain on top of that we would have serious problems getting students to school."
Unlike Fulton, North Callaway R-I students already have added three days to their schedule this year because of the snow.
Superintendent Bryan Thomsen said North Callaway had built in Jan. 20, Feb. 17 and May 23 as snow make-up days.
"If we miss any more, we start cutting into spring break," Thomsen said.
As for the chances of calling off school again today with more wet weather in the forecast, he said district officials would wait and evaluate road conditions "first thing in the morning."

Romney makes his case
Thursday, August 30, 2012
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Mitt Romney launched his fall campaign for the White House Thursday night with a rousing, remarkably personal speech to the Republican National convention and a prime-time TV audience, proclaiming that America needs "jobs, lots of jobs" and promising to create 12 million of them in perilous economic times.
"Now is the time to restore the promise of America," Romney said to a nation struggling with 8.3 percent unemployment and the slowest economic recovery in decades.
Often viewed as a distant politician, Romney made a press-the-flesh entrance into the hall, walking slowly down one of the convention aisles and shaking hands with dozens of delegates. The hall erupted in cheers when he reached the stage and waved to his cheering, chanting supporters before beginning to speak.
"I accept your nomination for president," he said, to more cheers. Then he pivoted into personal details of family life, recounting his youth as a Mormon, the son of parents devoted to one another, then a married man with five rambunctious sons.
He choked up at least twice, including when he recalled how he and wife Ann would awake to find "a pile of kids asleep in our room."
He was unstinting in his criticism of President Barack Obama, his Democratic quarry in a close and uncertain race for the White House, and drew cheers when he vowed to repeal Obama's signature health care law.
"This president can tell us it was someone else's fault. This president can tell us that the next four years he'll get it right. But this president cannot tell us that you are better off today than when he took office," Romney declared.
"I will begin my presidency with a jobs tour. President Obama began his presidency with an apology tour," he said, then accusing the incumbent of failing to support Israel while exercising patience with its arch-enemy, Iran.
To win, Romney needs to convince some of those voters that "hope and change" didn't really work out — and that he is the man to fix the problem.
"To the majority of Americans who now believe that the future will not be better than the past, I can guarantee you this: If Barack Obama is re-elected, you will be right," Romney said.
Aides said the speech was the most important of Romney's political career and will forever change his family's legacy. In winning his party's presidential nomination, the former Massachusetts governor has succeeded where his father failed a generation ago. But facing a two-month sprint to an Election Day matchup against President Barack Obama, Romney is now trying to broaden his appeal and connect with women and with middle-of-the road voters who will ultimately decide his fate.
To do so, he struck an often soft tone laced with deeply personal themes. He drew from Mormon faith and the influence of his mother and father — both dead for more than a decade — when he faced the Republican National Convention and a prime-time audience.
"My mom and dad gave their kids the greatest gift of all — the gift of unconditional love. They cared deeply about who we would be, and much less about what we would do," Romney will say, according to prepared remarks released by the campaign.
George Romney, a Michigan governor, ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 1968 when Romney was a young man. His mother, Lenore, ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in Michigan in 1970.
"My mom and dad were true partners, a life lesson that shaped me by everyday example. When my mom ran for the Senate, my dad was there for her every step of the way," Romney said.
The remarks were delivered a stage that puts him a little bit closer to the crowd inside the convention hall. His campaign hopes the evening ends with Americans feeling a little bit closer to the Republican presidential candidate, too.
On this night, they told Romney's story.
The entire evening — from the physical staging to the speakers' program to the planned whole-family entrance after Romney's big speech — was aimed at introducing the sometimes stiff and distant politician as a businessman, Olympic savior and deeply religious family man. His pitch to his party, as well as to the many undecided voters who are disappointed in the country's direction, will be that he's the candidate better able to shoulder the country's economic burdens.
The testimonials were deeply personal.
One couple, Ted and Pat Oparowsky, told the crowd about their 14-year-old son David, dying of cancer, who Romney would visit in the hospital. He bought the boy fireworks, helped him write a will, and, at David's request, delivered the eulogy at his funeral. Another woman, Pam Finlayson, talked about her daughter, born three months premature — and Romney, her church pastor at the time, would come to the hospital and pray for the little girl.
"Like a lot of families in a new place with no family, we found kinship with a wide circle of friends through our church," Romney, who met both families through his church, will say. "We prayed together, our kids played together and we always stood ready to help each other out in different ways."
To prepare for the big night, Romney spent months making meticulous notes about his experiences campaigning. He read numerous previous convention speeches and talked to a number of close friends and confidants about how to approach his address. He and his wife, Ann, spent part of last weekend rehearsing their speeches in an auditorium at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H., near the family's lakeside summer home.
Before Romney spoke, a parade of people from his past took the podium to walk through different phases of his life: his time running the private equity firm Bain Capital, his years running the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and his experiences as governor of Massachusetts. Referred to inside the campaign as "character witnesses," the speeches were designed to showcase the man who friends say inspires fierce loyalty.

Sorry if I missed this somewhere, but why was JVB's foot in a protective boot at fanfest? I guess I should have asked him myself.
Stress fracture if I remember right suffered in Europe.
Btw. How is dg's broken foot doing? Anyone have updates?
Justin Hamilton was in a boot last fall (08). What is it with foot injuries and this team? Does Mac's big feet step on them or something?
When you're that big, foot and leg injuries aren't uncommon. People apparently aren't engineered to be nearly 7'0" tall.

Get to Know About the Brazilian Blowout and its Effect on African American Hair
Get to Know About the Brazilian Blowout and its Effect on African American Hair
The Brazilian Blowout is one of the effective and innovative means to improve the condition of the hair. There are a lot of people who have frizzy, curly or wavy hair and they spend a lot of time and money on their hair so that they can permanently improve its condition. For these individuals the Brazilian Blowout is the best method as they are aware that healthy, radiant and clean hair are very easy to maintain and that it looks very attractive and appealing.

It takes about 90 minutes for the whole process to take place and with these 90 minutes, you can make any hair style you want for up to 2 weeks.
Brazilian Blowout on African American Hair
Before the Brazilian blowout, for many years, African American women were using the traditional relaxer to straighten their hair. But now with the advent of this Brazilian blowout, a lot of women shifted to this process as it is a more gentle way to straighten hair without adding any damage to it.
African American hair is wavy, curly and can be dry so this Brazilian method is specifically used on such hair. Brazilian Keratin Relaxer is infused into the strands of the hair using heat. Through this process, each strand of the hair gets stronger because it gets coated with keratin which is the number one nutrient protein.
Benefits of Brazilian Blowout or Brazilian Keratin Relaxer on African American Hair
There are plenty of benefits of using Brazilian Blowout or Brazilian Keratin Relaxer on African American Hair including the following:
- Makes your hair strong and healthy by infusing the protein (Keratin)
- Makes the hair straight for about 4 weeks to 3 months and even more at times.
- Makes the hair straight which becomes much more manageable.
- Makes the hair easy and quick to straight even later.
- Does not involve any irritating permanent effects as the method is temporary and without any hazards.
When this method was introduced into the market, a lot of people stated that there is use of high level of formaldehyde used in the process. This gas is lethal to humans if inhaled in a larger dose but the newer versions of the Brazilian Keratin Treatment is formaldehyde free so if you are stuck with your frizzy African American hair, get the Brazilian Blowout today!

As North America observes the twentieth anniversary of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), policymakers from all three countries are exploring ways to deepen North American integration. And with the next North American Leaders' Summit set for February 19, the heads of state from all three countries are expected to reflect on NAFTA's achievements to date.
The Mexican State of Querétaro stands out as one of the most innovative hubs and beneficiaries of the North American economy. Since a ground-breaking investment by Bombardier in 2005, Querétaro has received substantial attention from major multinational companies, ranging from GE to Samsung. As a result, Querétaro now has the highest growth rate among Mexican states and is host to a burgeoning middle class. What government policies led to Querétaro's emergence as a focal point in Mexico for foreign direct investment? How has the state government worked with the private sector and local universities to foster cooperation and boost innovation? And what policies are needed moving forward to allow the state to build upon recent successes? The Americas Program hosts Governor José Calzada Rovorisa for this timely discussion.ProgramsTopicsRegions

It was Wednesday night, the day before Thanksgiving. I looked cute and was having a glass of wine at a hip San Francisco restaurant. And I was being stood up. I was irritated and surprised and resigned. I paid the check and left, determined to take myself out to dinner at my favorite sushi restaurant as revenge for the embarrassment of being stood up for the first time in my life. But as I walked there in my cute red shoes I lost the will, and remembered my budget. So I went home.
Standing in the kitchen starving, I remembered that I had cooked some white alubia beans from Rancho Gordo earlier in the week. At the time, I wasn't sure how I was going to use them, so I just cooked them with garlic and bay leaf and put them in the refrigerator.
I have probably mentioned this enough times to bore you all, but one of my fallback cookbooks is Heidi Swanson's book Super Natural Cooking. Heidi is the goddess behind 101 Cookbooks, and her recipes coax perfect flavors out of whole foods and vegetarian dishes.
One of my favorite recipes from the book is Giant Crusty and Creamy White Beans with Greens, and I make it often. Wednesday, I used dino kale and a delicious sheep cheese from Garden Variety Cheese.
As I made it, I thought a bit about eating local. I know that when you're first starting out eating locally, it can sometimes be a source of stress. I hear from some that they worry about what foods are "allowed" and if they are eating "right."
But I have been eating locally for the better part of six years, and now I do it as a way to relax. Local foods are my comfort foods. It is the easiest thing in the world for me to pull out oil from Stonehouse, garlic from Thomas Family Farm, kale from Dirty Girl, beans from Rancho Gordo and whip up a great meal quickly.
I'm not saying this to brag, rather to encourage. If you stick with eating locally, I guarantee you that it will soon become a great source of nourishment to your belly as well as your soul.
Within an hour of leaving the restaurant, I had my cute shoes off, my sweats on, a gin and tonic poured, and my white beans on my lap and sat down to watch some trashy television. Turns out that there was a miscommunication with the guy, and he had heartily apologized many times over by the end of the evening. But it didn't matter quite so much after my delicious dinner and drink.

(MCT)—The growing season isn't over with the end of summer. Until the first hard frost hits, you have plenty of time to plant, pick and plate cool-weather crops.
Fall is a great time for gardening thanks to cooler, milder temperatures, fewer garden pests and softer, moist soil. Some vegetables, like collards, taste best when nipped by light frost. Lettuce thrives for weeks in fall temperatures, and is easy to tuck between and under taller plants or in containers.
When you plant in pots, make sure there are numerous holes for good drainage; use good quality potting soil, not garden soil because it's too heavy.
Planting a fall garden late summer ensures crops mature before freezing weather, especially when you choose varieties that mature quickly; information about days to maturity can be found on plant tags. A fall garden is best started with transplants, rather than seeds, so you get earlier harvests. Find your frost/freeze dates with the National Climatic Data Center here.
Here are some fall gardening tips from Bonnie Plants, a vegetable and herb brand you see at garden centers, including Lowes.
• Tidy up. Remove spent plants, like early planted beans, cucumbers or lettuce, since they're pretty much done for the season and can harbor pests. Clear away holes left from pulling plants, and get rid of weeds before they go to seed. Throw away anything distressed and compost the rest.
• Discard any fallen fruits; rotting produce can attract pests.
• Take note of where everything was planted so you rotate crops to keep plants healthy.
• Set up the soil. Freshen garden soil by removing the existing layer of mulch and replace it. Straw makes an excellent cover because it's easily scattered, it's also a favorite home for spiders that help control insect pests in your garden. You can also use a layer of shredded leaves for mulch.
• Loosen compacted soil, and fluff it up with a garden fork. Major tilling isn't necessary; just move soil enough to allow new plant roots to settle in and let water get through. Test soil (you can buy a testing kit at most garden retailers) to see if it needs help. Add amendments, if needed. At the very least, work some compost in where your plants will be growing.
6 Fall Crops
Top Bunch Collards — This hybrid yields good and matures early. They grow best in full sun, tolerate partial shade, are rich in vitamins and sweetened by frost. Space transplants 36 inches apart.
Spinach — Although spinach prefers full sun, it's one of the few vegetables that produce a respectable harvest in partial shade.
Winterbor kale — This nutritious leafy green is a vigorous producer that endures winter easily. Cut the outer leaves so the center continues growing. Space transplants 12 inches apart.
Early Dividend broccoli — Popular, productive and easy to grow, this broccoli is high in fiber and calcium. Space transplants 18 inches apart.
Mustard greens — Offering spicy hot leaves, this is a very fast-growing, nutritious vegetable, and always tastes sweeter when nipped by frost. Space plants 12 inches apart.
Bonnie hybrid cabbage — Grows large, round, blue-green heads. Cabbage is especially high in beta-carotene, vitamin C, K and fiber.
