Who wins or who are you cheering for?
I don't think Iowa has the quickness to keep up with Baylor!!!
Go Big 12 and Baylor. I'm not sure who Iowa has to guard Jackson...and don't say Marble or Gessell. WAY too quick.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
I think Iowa has what it takes to get 69th place.
Go Hawks!
Hope the floor caves in.
The Official Paul Rhode's Salt Truck Driver.
From watching both play, Baylor has a edge in basketball skills and athletic players thus should be a comfortable win... I don't know how they stop Jackson from penetrating or Jefferson off the glass.
Unfortunately I have little confidence in Scott Drew executing that type of game plan. Baylor will be Baylor and I assume this game will be close.
Time to root for the Big 12.
Between Iowa not being able to finish and Scott Drew being terrible at the end of games, I'm expecting the end to resemble the keystone cops.
I think Iowa crushes Baylor. One team plays hard and the other just goes through the motions. Iowa. Big.
I think Fran's face will finally explode
In order to cheer, I would first have to care. Since I do not care, this game means nothing to me.
Can't wait for some more basketball action on Saturday.
Are you kidding - did you see the post-game video of them jumping up and down like drooling groupies at a Bieber concert? You'd think they were playing for THE National Championship.
"We are first and foremost an educational institution that values integrity, honesty and treating others with fairness and respect".
-ISU President Gregory Geoffroy; circa May 2003.
Dunk contest now pretty lackluster

Seriously? I have not seen the video. If anyone has please post.
Im rooting for Iowa for a night

Build A Crown Victoria Police Auction Project CarWritten by John McGann on May 1, 2011
I love Crown Victorias. I like their looks, and I'm fascinated with their technology. I'm impressed with how they've adapted to their roles in fleet service as police cars and taxis, and I admire the amount of abuse they can take in those roles. As you'd expect, I'm saddened by the news that they will be discontinued at the end of this model year. Folks, this is the last body-on-frame, front-engine, rear-drive, mass-produced car on the planet. That architecture resonates with me, so I bought one, an '03 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (CVPI) At the time, it had 133,000 miles on the odometer.
If you hate seeing a four-door sedan in the pages of this magazine, hear me out. There is more to the Crown Victoria than just strobe lights in your mirrors or cardigan sweaters and slip-on loafers at the Elks Club parking lot. These cars boast technology that would have been lusted after by American car buyers in the '60s, and even the '80s for that matter. Exotic things like a fully boxed frame, rack-and-pinion steering, dual exhaust (on Police and Sport packages), wide use of aluminum parts under the hood, an overhead cam 4.6L engine, and big, four-wheel disc brakes.
Admittedly, time and technology marched on while the Crown Victoria and its chassis-sharing Panther platform brethren, the Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car, seem to have been relegated to back-burner status for nearly a decade. The current body style dates to 1998, and that year also ushered in the Watt's link rear suspension. 2003 saw a major redesign of the front suspension, adding rack-and-pinion steering, redesigned lower control arms, an aluminum engine crossmember, and a coilover style front spring and shock package. And that's all. Minor electronic and emissions stuff has changed-the switch to drive-by-wire in 2004, 17-inch wheels in 2006-but otherwise, a car rolling off the assembly line as this is being written (January 2011) is virtually identical to one made in 2003. That is unheard of in this era of three-model-year design change cycles.
The last Panther platform car will roll off the line at the St. Thomas assembly plant sometime this August or September. New regulations for rollover crash standards and government-mandated fun-killing stability control systems were the straw that broke the Panther's back. Ford execs determined it would cost too much to bring this aging chassis into compliance. In 2012, Ford will begin selling a new Taurus-based Police Interceptor. But the Panther platform legacy will live on in the pages of Car Craft. Here is the first of a series of articles documenting the restoration and buildup of an '03 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, a former Santa Barbara County Sheriff's patrol car I bought at Ken Porter Auctions in Gardena, California, in September 2008.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
I bought the car at Ken Porter Auctions for $2,000 out the door. Ken Porter Auctions has been in business since 1952 selling surplus vehicles from a number of cities and counties in California. The car being bid on in the photo is similar to how mine looked when I bought it, except the front doors on my car were spray-painted black instead of being X'd out. That's ring man Vinnie Lopez keeping track of the bids for auctioneer Justin Holmberg.More fun awaits on the inside of the car. Here you'll often find a mix 'n' match of interior panels. I've talked with fleet managers of several different law enforcements agencies, and they've all said the same thing: When new cars come in, the parts they don't use (padded back seats, rear door panels, and so on) get tossed into a pile. When the cars are retired, they grab from that same pile and send the cars to auction with whatever back seat was close at hand. Notice the multicolored upholstery in the photo (above). Dash trim often falls victim to damage during the removal of wiring for the sirens and computers. My car was mostly intact, but my back seat is a nonmatching blue vinyl that nicely contrasts my charcoal cloth front seats, and there are a few holes in my dash. Neither of those issues bothers me in the slightest.My car was originally owned by Santa Barbara County. I recently contacted Mitch Gerstner, fleet manager for the county. Looking up my car's VIN, he told me it was a patrol car for the sheriff's department assigned to the Lompoc station. He granted me access me to their maintenance facility to see where my car was serviced. A couple of current patrol cars were in for maintenance during my visit.Aft of the front seats, a patrol car is an unpleasant place to be. Check out the plastic seat, window bars, and hard plastic door panels. Apparently, prisoners have little need for cupholders or armrests. My car has holes in the floor and doors where barricades were secured.Here is an example of the equipment my car would have been fitted with: the in-car computer allows the deputy to run license plate and driver's license numbers and the console contains a scanner, the Federal Signal Smart Siren controller, and a Motorola CDM 1250 radio.
The county technicians then outfit the cars with push bumpers, a prisoner cage, and the required logos, numbering, and lettering. The tray next to the spare tire contains the electronics for the radio and GPS module. It slides out to allow easy inspection or repair of components. Many of these items are recycled from cars that have been retired.This is a new Crown Victoria getting outfitted for patrol duty. Santa Barbara County buys them from Ford in the California Highway Patrol paint scheme: black with a white roof and white front doors. The spotlights are also installed at the factory.Here's some of that exotic hardware referenced earlier. Note the aluminum control arms, rack-and-pinion steering, and big front sway bar.More cool stuff resides out back. Here, you can see the Watt's linkage that attaches to the front side of the differential housing. Also, the yellow panel on the front side of the gas tank was installed to prevent gas tank ruptures. Ford designs its cars to withstand 75-mph rear-end collisions without puncturing the gas tank. Look closely and you can also see plastic guards around the sway bar mounts and spring perches.Because Ford is discounting the Crown Victoria, Santa Barbara County recently bought 38 new Crown Vics and will be storing them at the county garage until they are needed to replace outgoing patrol cars. Because all their equipment is designed and wired to fit a Crown Victoria, it would be a significant investment to switch to a different manufacturer's patrol car and then outfit it with all-new equipment. Moreover, the technicians told me they wanted to wait to see how reliable the new police cars from Dodge, Chevrolet, and Ford prove to be before deciding which model to buy. In the meantime, they all said the Crown Victorias have proved so reliable, they now keep each car for 150,000 miles before retiring it. The patrol cars receive maintenance inspections and oil changes every 4,000 miles.

Haaaaaaaaaaapy Valentine's Day!
…Are you filled with warm and fuzzy feelings of true love, Bits and Bramblers? Is it possible to feel those things on a Tuesday in mid-February? Personally, I kind of doubt it.
Maybe if you have…chocolate, or something, it's possible. Which is good, because…like all the best holidays? Valentine's Day includes candy.
So grab some of those message hearts, or filled chocolates from a heart-shaped box, and check out this made-of-awesome Valentine's Day video we made here at the library. It's another of our Mixed-Up Classics, and this time, we're taking on Pride and Prejudice.
…Oh, don't roll your eyes, Bits and Bramblers. Remember, just because it's a classic, doesn't mean it's bad. After all, everybody knows that the love story between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy is one of the greatest in literary history.
…Maybe. Kind of. Probably…

my son made for me a special gift: An astronomical sketching book. It is small enough for easy handling at the telescope, has thick yellowish pages and a durable cover. I use it from now on for the most sketches. So you see here a sketch black on yellow.
I used my 8 cm Apo for this sketch. The overview image was done by 60x. The sun stood low but was very steady so I could use 120x for the details. This is rarely the case.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama lacked belief in his administration's policy toward the war in Afghanistan and was skeptical it would even succeed, his former defense secretary, Robert Gates, writes in a memoir to be published next week.
Gates, who served as Pentagon chief from 2006 to 2011 under Obama and his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush, is critical of Obama's leadership on several defense-related issues, especially Afghanistan, according to a review of "Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War" in the Washington Post on Tuesday.
According to the Post, Gates wrote that he concluded by early 2010 that Obama, who had ordered his own troop "surge" in Afghanistan like Bush's in the Iraq war, "doesn't believe in his own strategy, and doesn't consider the war to be his. For him, it's all about getting out."
Gates adds that Obama was "skeptical if not outright convinced it (the administration strategy) would fail," according to the Post.
"I never doubted Obama's support for the troops, only his support for their mission," Gates writes.
Reacting to the comments reported in Gates' book, the White House National Security Council said, "Deliberations over our policy on Afghanistan have been widely reported on over the years, and it is well known that the president has been committed to achieving the mission of disrupting, dismantling and defeating al Qaeda, while also ensuring that we have a clear plan for winding down the war, which will end this year."
Obama "deeply appreciates" Gates' service as defense secretary, NSC spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said in a statement, and "welcomes differences of view among his national security team, which broaden his options and enhance our policies."
After Obama was elected in 2008 to succeed Bush, Gates agreed to the new president's request that he remain as defense secretary, becoming the first Pentagon chief to serve presidents of different parties.
Gates describes Obama as "a man of personal integrity" and says later in his memoir that "Obama was right" in his decisions regarding Afghanistan.
But Obama was uncomfortable with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan he inherited from the Bush administration and distrustful of the military that was providing him options, Gates writes.
According to the Post's account of the book, the different world views of Obama and Gates "produced a rift, that at least for Gates, became personally wounding and impossible to repair."
The Post said Gates acknowledges in his book that he did not confront Obama over the president's determination that the White House control all aspects of national security policy.
"His White House was by far the most centralized and controlling in national security of any I had seen since Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger ruled the roost," Gates writes.
His book also criticizes top Obama aides, including Vice President Joe Biden, who he says was "poisoning the well" against the U.S. military leadership.
The former defense secretary, who also headed the CIA under former President George H.W. Bush, calls Biden a "man of integrity," according to the New York Times' account of the book, but "I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades."
The NSC's Hayden said Obama disagreed with that assessment and that "from his leadership on the Balkans in the Senate to his efforts to end the war in Iraq, Joe Biden has been one of the leading statesmen of his time, and has helped advance America's leadership in the world."
The Post said Gates writes that confidence and trust were lacking in his dealings with Obama and his team.
Describing "a couple of important White House breaches of faith," Gates said Obama informed him on one day's notice he would announce the repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy that barred gays from serving openly in the military.
Gates supported repeal but writes he was "blindsided" by the move, which had been under discussion for months.
He writes that he was also "extremely angry" with Obama in a debate over defense spending. "I felt he had breached faith with me … on the budget numbers."
"Why did I feel I was constantly at war with everybody, as I have detailed in these pages?" he asks in the memoir, which also criticizes Congress. "Why was I so often angry? Why did I so dislike being back in government and in Washington?"
"The broad dysfunction in Washington wore me down, especially as I tried to maintain a public posture of nonpartisan calm, reason and conciliation," Gates writes.
"I did not enjoy being secretary of defense," Gates notes in his memoir, emailing a friend, according to the Post, that "people have no idea how much I detest this job."

The name Mjölk, meaning milk, stands for design that is pure, honest, essential. It also speaks to creating a nourishing environment through beautiful, well-crafted pieces of the highest quality.
I am by nature a picky shopper, no doubt being constantly exposed to the design world has only worsened this condition. It's a rare thing when I stumble upon a shop where I can picture every last piece at home in my home. Mjölk is such a shop. With a collection of pieces from contemporary Danish and Japanese designers alongside Danish classics, the pieces are simple and clean, beautiful examples of design in it's purest form. The raw materials used, such as brass, porcelain, burl, oak and cast iron are allowed to take center stage with the simple sculptural forms of the furniture and decor.

|First snow with hard freeze ends beauty—spurs on harvest
Following snow both days, the temperature plummeted Thursday and Friday nights, taking care of most fall flowers and other beautiful foliage (above). Although corn harvest was well underway a week ago (which was nearly three weeks ahead of normal) the freeze was welcomed by farmers who could then shift into high gear. Jim Kemling (right) was harvesting a couple miles east and one south of Grant on Oct. 2 during mild weather. The snow and severe dip in temperatures aided in drying it down quickly. Harvest of high moisture corn that was being sold to area feedlots began in late August. Because of the hot, dry summer, most dryland corn was used for cattle feed. It's predicted corn harvest will be close to wrapping up around Nov. 1, with yields averaging 180-220 bushels per acre and test weights averaging in the mid 50s.

|Colorado Ranching Legacy Program created for conservation
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
For more than 150 years, ranching has been a major contributor to Colorado's economy while at the same time, keeping millions of acres of Colorado's open space intact. However, the number of ranchers and ranches in Colorado is continually declining in the face of many challenges.
In order to assist in the development of the next generation of stewards vital for conserving family ranches and healthy, intact landscapes; the Colorado Cattlemen's Association, Colorado State University, and The Nature Conservancy have partnered to create the Colorado Ranching Legacy Program.
The Colorado Ranching Legacy Program is a two-year program which begins in August, 2009 and concludes in May, 2011. The Program is designed to equip young and beginning ranchers to be innovative leaders in land management and conservation.
In August 2009, four Ranching Legacy Fellows will be selected to complete a curriculum of coursework and a series of one to three-day modules covering topics such as ranch management and conservation, issues facing the cattle industry, beef production, innovative ranch business models, and accessing agency resources. Fellows will also visit ranches across the state and network with successful ranchers and industry leaders in order to learn about profitable management techniques.
In addition to this required curriculum, the Program will be tailored to meet individual needs; therefore, Fellows will receive targeted mentorship to assist them with a capstone project. The capstone project will consist of a proposal that will outline how personal, operational, and business goals are to be achieved.
The overall purpose of the capstone project is to provide Fellows with a comprehensive business and land management plan for a viable ranching operation.
Through the Ranching Legacy Program, Fellows will gain knowledge, networks and mentors, a business plan and all three partners' best efforts to assist them in their ranching goals. This three-tiered partnership between the industry, education, and conservation communities makes this program unique and opens doors to various financial tools, networks, and management opportunities.
Admission into the Colorado Ranching Legacy Program requires an applicant be an innovative self-starter who demonstrates a desire to carry on Colorado's ranching legacy. It is also encouraged that the individual have work experience prior to entering the program.
There is no educational requirement for this program. However, based on the individual's educational and work background, courses to be completed may vary for each Fellow. Thus, individual degree plans will be customized to strengthen areas of weakness.
For more information or an application form, visit www.coloradocattle.org and click on "Programs", or follow the direct link www.coloradocattle.org/ranchinglegacyprogram.aspx. Applications must be received by Friday, July 10 at the CCA office.

In-person early voting is underway in Ohio. Find your nearest polling booth here.
The vice presidential debate is tonight. The debate will be between Vice President Joe Biden and Rep. Paul Ryan. After the last debate, some pundits are saying Biden needs to win this one to slow down the Romney-Ryan momentum. But keep in mind political scientists say debates have little to no electoral impact in the long term, so it's possible most of the post-debate polling in favor of Mitt Romney could indicate a temporary bounce. The debate is at 9 p.m. and will be aired on all the big networks. The full schedule of presidential debates can be found here.
Romney might campaign in Lebanon, Ohio this weekend. Ohio is considered a must-win for the Republican presidential candidate. Even with a post-debate bounce, Romney still looks to be the underdog in Ohio. The latest poll from NBC, Wall Street Journal and Marist shows Romney down six points to Obama among likely voters in the state with a margin of error of 3.1. The poll does show the race tightening from the eight-point gap measured on Oct. 3, but it's apparently not enough. By itself, the poll could be considered an outlier and too optimistic for Obama, but it actually echoes the latest CNN poll and aggregate polling taken after the debate. In aggregate polling, Romney is down 1.6 points in Ohio after the NBC/WSJ/Marist poll. Before the latest poll, he was down 0.8 points.
A new poll shows a slim majority of Ohioans now support same-sex marriage. The poll found 52 percent of Ohioans support it, while 37 percent want it to stay illegal. The poll gives a shot of optimism to Freedom to Marry Ohio, an amendment that would legalize same-sex marriage in the state. Supporters say the amendment could be on the Ohio ballot as soon as November 2013.
State Auditor Dave Yost wants to put the attendance fraud investigation in context. When talking with Gongwer yesterday, Yost explained that the potential data rigging going could have cost schools additional funding for at-risk students: "I suspect we probably have schools in Ohio that ought to be getting that extra money for those extra services to help those schools that are most at risk, and that money is not flowing because the data is not accurate."
Will county budget cuts hurt public safety? As the county
commissioners try to sort out the budget without raising taxes, Hamilton County's sheriff
department could see some cuts, according to Commissioner Greg Hartmann. He insists the cuts will not hurt public safety, however.
An Oct. 1 analysis by left-leaning Policy Matters Ohio found the casino tax will not be enough to make up for cuts in state aid. Even in cities hosting casinos, the extra tax revenue will only cover about half of cuts.
Only a few weeks remain in Hamilton County's free electronics recycling program.
A Nuns on the Bus tour is encouraging voters to support politicians that provide for the poor. The tour will avoid being partisan and mentioning candidates' names, but the general vibe of the tour implies support for Democratic candidates.
Josh Mandel, Ohio's Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, has gotten another rating from PolitiFact Ohio. This one is "Mostly False" for Mandel's claim that opponent Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown has missed more than 350 votes in the Senate. Brown has only missed 21 out of 1,779 votes since he joined the Senate, and he hasn't missed any votes this year. The Mandel campaign claims the ad was keeping track of Brown's entire public career, but 83 of the votes Brown missed in that time period were in 2000, when Brown was in a car accident in which he broke his ribs and vertebrae.
The NBC/WSJ/Marist poll also had some bad news for Mandel. He was found to be down 11 points to Brown among likely voters. Mandel is now down 4.2 points in aggregate polling.
The right-leaning Tax Foundation ranked Ohio No. 39 for business tax climate. The conservative research group gave Ohio good marks for unemployment insurance and the corporate tax rate, but it criticized the state for its individual income tax and property tax. New York, New Jersey and California were at the bottom of the overall rankings, and Wyoming, South Dakota and Nevada were at the top.
Jobless claims fell to 339,000 — the lowest in four and a half years. Coupled with last week's employment numbers, the news indicates that an economic recovery is truly underway. However, jobless claims are very volatile, so it's uncertain whether the drop will stick.
Science has found some stars die in style.
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will be stopping by Greater
Cincinnati next Tuesday. The campaign stop is part of a three-day bus
tour across Ohio. The state is considered a must-win for Romney's
presidential campaign, but aggregate polling is not friendly to his
prospects in Ohio.
Will Romney dye his face for the Ohio events? Gawker was among a few outlets and individuals that noticed Romney dyed his face brown for an event on a Latino television network.
Ohio's unemployment rate remained at 7.2 percent, the same as July and June. The state made gains in leisure and hospitality, professional and business services, financial activities and government, but it had losses in trade, transportation, utilities and educational and health services. Still, Ohio's unemployment rate remains far below the national unemployment rate of 8.1 percent.
City Council is taking action to prevent further delays for the streetcar, but the city says the delay to 2015 is still set. By moving money around, the city will be able to front money to pay for moving utility lines and pipes, but it expects to get the money back eventually. The city says Duke Energy is responsible for moving the lines to accommodate for the streetcar, but Duke says it's the city's duty since the streetcar is the city's project. If the city is right, it gets the fronted money back. If it's wrong, the money is on the taxpayer dime.
The Cincinnati Park Board struck down Park Rule 28, a rule that had come under fire by homeless advocates. The rule allowed the city to put up signs that would immediately enact rules as law. Homeless advocates said the signs allowed Washington Park to make rules that discriminated against the homeless and poor. The dispute led to a lawsuit, which three Over-the-Rhine residents filed on Sept. 4. The city countered by saying they took down the signs weeks before the lawsuit and that the rules were never truly enforced on any individual
The Anna Louise Inn won a zoning appeal yesterday. The
appeal gives way to the $14 million renovation at the Anna Louise Inn.
But Western & Southern will continue its opposition to renovation of the historic
building, even though it could have avoided all its problems by simply
buying the Anna Louise Inn when it had the chance. In related news,
Western & Southern commissioned a study from the University of
Cincinnati to see how replacing the Anna Louise Inn with a hotel would
work, which prompted laughter from Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls because the building isn't theirs.
The Cincinnati Hispanic Center is launching an initiative to connect bilingual and multilingual people around the region. The initiative will help multilingual individuals flaunt their skills to employers and anyone else in need.
In Butler County, fewer teens are using alcohol and tobacco, but more are using marijuana and prescription pills.
Procter & Gamble and a local manufacturing contractor are getting sued for religious discrimination. The dispute began when P&G and its contractor allegedly fired a Muslim employee after she was humiliated by another employee.

32 CFR Part 323, Appendix E to Part 323 - OMB Guidelines for Matching Programs
Appendix E to Part 323—OMB Guidelines for Matching Programs
A. Purpose. These guidelines supplement and will be used in conjunction with OMB Guidelines on the Administration of the Privacy Act of 1974, issued on July 1, 1975, and supplemented on November 21, 1975. They replace earlier guidance on conducting computerized matching programs issued on March 30, 1979. They are intended to help agencies relate the procedural requirements of the Privacy Act to the operational requirements of computerized matching. They are designed to address the concern expressed by the Congress in the Privacy Act of 1974 that "the increasing use of computers and sophisticated information technology, while essential to the efficient operation of the Government, has greatly magnified the harm to individual privacy that can occur from any collection, maintenance, use, or dissemination of personal information." These guidelines do not authorize activities that are not permitted by law, nor do they prohibit activities expressly required to be performed by law. Complying with these guidelines, however, does not relieve a Federal agency of the obligation to comply with the provisions of the Privacy Act, including any provisions not cited in these guidelines.
B. Scope. These guidelines apply to all agencies subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) and to all matching programs:
1. Performed by a Federal agency, whether the personal records used in the match are Federal or nonfederal.
2. For which a Federal agency discloses any personal records for use in a matching program performed by any other Federal agency or any nonfederal organization.
C. Effective Date. These guidelines were effective on May 11, 1982.
D. Definitions. For the purpose of the Guidelines, all the terms defined in the Privacy Act of 1974 apply.
1. Personal Record. Any information pertaining to an individual that is stored in an automated system of records; for example, a data base which contains information about individuals that is retrieved by name or some other personal identifier.
2. Matching Program. A procedure in which a computer is used to compare two or more automated systems of records or a system of records with a set of nonfederal records to find individuals who are common to more than one system or set. The procedure includes all of the steps associated with the match, including obtaining the records to be matched, actual use of the computer, administrative and investigative action on the hits, and disposition of the personal records maintained in connection with the match. It should be noted that a single matching program may involve several matches among a number of participants. Watching programs do not include the following:
a. Matches which compare a substantial number of records, such as, comparison of the Department of Education's defaulted student loan data base with the Office of Personnel Management's Federal employee data base would be covered; comparison of six individual student loan defaultees with the OPM file would not be covered.
b. Checks on specific individuals to verify data in an application for benefits done reasonably soon after the application is received.
c. Checks on specific individuals based on information which raises questions about an individual's eligibility for benefits or payments done reasonably soon after the information is received.
d. Matches done to produce aggregate statistical data without any personal identifiers.
e. Matches done to support any research or statistical project when the specfic data are not to be used to make decisions about the rights, benefits, or privileges of specific individuals.
f. Matches done by an agency using its own records.
3. Matching Agency. The Federal agency which actually performs the match.
4. Source Agency. The Federal agency which discloses records from a system of records to be used in the match. Note that in some circumstances a source agency may be the instigator and ultimate beneficiary of the matching program, as when an agency lacking computer resources uses another agency to perform the match. The disclosure of records to the matching agency and any later disclosure of "hits" (by either the matching or the source agencies) must be done in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of the Privacy Act.
5. Hit. The identification, through a matching program, of a specific individual.
E. Guidelines for Agencies Participating in Matching Programs. Agencies should acquire and disclose matching records and conduct matching programs in accordance with the provisions of this section and the Privacy Act.
1. Disclosing Personal Records for Matching Programs—
a. To another Federal agency. Source agencies are responsible for determining whether or not to disclose personal records from their systems and for making sure they meet the necessary Privacy Act disclosure provisions when they do. Among the factors source agencies should consider are:
(1) Legal authority for the match.
(2) Purpose and description of the match.
(3) Description of the records to be matched.
(4) Whether the record subjects have consented to the match; or whether disclosure of records for the match would be compatible with the purpose for which the records were originally collected; that is, whether disclosure under a "routine use" would be appropriate; whether the soliciting agency is seeking the records for a legitimate law enforcement activity—whichever is appropriate; or any other provision of the Privacy Act under which disclosure may be made.
(5) Description of additional information which may be subsequently disclosed in relation to "hits."
(6) Subsequent actions expected of the source (for example, verification of the identity of the "hits" or followup with individuals who are "hits").
(7) Safeguards to be afforded the records involved, including disposition.
b. If the agency is satisfied that disclosure of the records would not violate its responsibilities under the Privacy Act, it may proceed to make the disclosure to the matching agency. It should ensure that only the minimum information necessary to conduct the match is provided. If disclosure is to be made pursuant to a "routine use" (Section b.3. of the Privacy Act), it should ensure that the system of records contains such a use, or it should publish a routine use notice in the Federal Register. The agency should also be sure to maintain an accounting of the disclosure pursuant to Section (c) of the Privacy Act.
c. To a nonfederal entity. Before disclosing records to a nonfederal entity for a matching program to be carried out by that entity, a source agency should, in addition to all of the consideration in subparagraph a, above, also make reasonable efforts, pursuant to Section (e)(6) of the Privacy Act, to "assure that such records are accurate, complete, timely, and relevant for agency purposes."
2. Written Agreements. Before disclosing to either a Federal or non-Federal entity, the source agency should require the matching entity to agree in writing to certain conditions governing the use of the matching file; for example, that the matching file will remain the property of the source agency and be returned at the end of the matching program (or destroyed as appropriate); that the file will be used and accessed only to match the file or files previously agreed to; that it will not be used to extract information concerning "non-hit" individuals for any purpose, and that it will not be duplicated or disseminated within or outside the matching agency unless authorized in writing by the source agency.
3. Performing Matching Programs—
a. Matching agencies should maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security safeguards on all files involved in the matching program.
b. Matching agencies should ensure that they have appropriate systems of records including those containing "hits," and that such systems and any routine uses have been appropriately notices in the Federal Register and reported to OMB and the Congress.
4. Disposition of Records—
a. Matching agencies will return or destroy source matching files (by mutual agreement) immediately after the match.
b. Records relating to this will be kept only so long as an investigation, either criminal or administrative, is active, and will be disposed of in accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act and the Federal Records Act.
5. Publication Requirements—
a. Agencies, before disclosing records outside the agency, will publish appropriate "routine use" notices in the Federal Register, if necessary.
b. If the matching program will result in the creation of a new or the substantial alteration of an existing system of records, the agency involved should publish the appropriate Federal Register notice and submit the requisite report to OMB and the Congress pursuant to OMB Circular No. A-108.
6. Reporting Requirements—
a. As close to the initiation of the matching program as possible, matching agencies will publish in the Federal Register a brief public notice describing the matching program. The notice should include:
1. The legal authority under which the match is being conducted.
2. A description of the matching program including whether the program is one time or continuing, the organizations involved, the purpose or purposes for which the program is being conducted, and the procedures to be used in matching and following up on the "hits."
3. A complete description of the personal records to be matched, including the source or sources, system of records identifying data, date or dates and page number of the most recent Federal Register full text publication when appropriate.
4. The projected start and ending dates of the program.
5. The security safeguards to be used to protect against unauthorized access or disclosure of the personal records.
6. Plans for disposition of the source records and "hits."
7. Agencies should send a copy of this notice to the Congress and to OMB at the same time it is sent to the Federal Register.
a. Agencies should report new or altered systems of records as described in subparagraph 5b, above, as necessary.
b. Agencies should also be prepared to report on matching programs pursuant to the reporting requirements of either the Privacy Act or the Paperwork Reduction Act. Reports will be solicited by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs and will focus on both the protection of individual privacy and Government's effective use of information technology. Reporting instructions will be disseminated to the agencies as part of either the reports required by paragraph (p) of the Privacy Act, or section 3514 ofPub. L. 96-511.
8. Use of Contractors. Matching programs should, as far as practicable, be conducted "in-house" by Federal agencies using agency personnel, rather than by contract. When contractors are used:
a. The matching agency should, consistent with paragraph (m) of the Privacy Act, cause the requirements of that Privacy Act to be applied to the contractor's performance of the matching program. The contract should include the Privacy Act clause required by Federal Personnel Regulation Amendment 155 (41 CFR 1-1.337-5).
b. The terms of the contract should include appropriate privacy and security provisions consistent with policies, regulations, standards, and guidelines issued by OMB, GSA, and the Department of Commerce.
c. The terms of the contract should preclude the contractor from using, disclosing, copying, or retaining records associated with the matching program for the contractor's own use.
d. Contractor personnel involved in the matching program shall be made explicitly aware of their obligations under the Privacy Act and of these guidelines, agency rules, and any special safegurds in relation to each specific match performed.
e. Any disclosures of records by the agency to the contractor should be made pursuant to a "routine use" (5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3)).
F. Implementation and Oversight. OMB will oversee the implementation of these guidelines and will interpret and advise upon agency proposals and actions within their scope, consistent with section 6 of the Privacy Act.
Title 32 published on 2015-07-01.
The following are only the Rules published in the Federal Register after the published date of Title 32.

Sumi-e Paintings by Alison Starr at Reflection Gallery in October
HANCOCK, MI - The Finlandia University Reflection Gallery, Hancock, will host "Breath of the Brush," an exhibition of sumi-e paintings by Minnesota artist Alison Starr, from October 4 to October 27, 2012.
An opening reception for the artist will take place at the gallery on Thursday, October 4, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public; refreshments will be served.
Starr, a professional musician turned artist, combines in her artwork her love for music and the outdoors. She says her paintings express her goal for "chi," a mystical energy force created by a perfect balance of self and nature.
Starr uses the ancient techniques and tools of China to create contemporary pieces of art work. Her paintings are steeped with her love of nature, both in the Chinese brush paintings created in her studio and her watercolor impressions painted on location.
Starr has studied with numerous national and international masters of her trade. Now almost 80, she enjoys teaching her craft to school children and art groups through workshops in Duluth, Minn. She has shown her work nationally and internationally in both juried and solo shows.
The Reflection Gallery is located on the second level of Finlandia's Jutila Center campus, 200 Michigan Street, Hancock, MI 49930.
For additional information, call 906-487-7500 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dancer loves a leap of faith
Daynara Castillo has a good ear for music, which serves her well as she pursues her love of salsa dancing. She has a very bad ear for the word, "No," and her inability to hear it is good news for everybody.
She didn't hear it in her Chula Vista middle school, when the Powers That Be thought the girl from Mexico City should be in English as a second language classes and the girl thought otherwise. She didn't hear it when she helped her mother sell language books door-to-door and people were not in the mood to buy.
And she refused to hear it when common sense said there was no way a volunteer could create a salsa program for the homeless students of San Diego's Monarch School when the students had no dance shoes, the school had no room and no one had any money.
As usual, Castillo thought otherwise.
"I've seen how dance transforms adults in my salsa community, and I thought the same thing could be done for children," said the 37-year-old Castillo, who was working as a real-estate agent at the time. "I thought, 'Real estate will always be here, but I have to do this now.' "
It started in the spring of 2012 with a chance visit to the Monarch School, the downtown K-12 complex that serves children and families struggling with homelessness. Castillo asked if the students would like to learn salsa. The volunteer coordinator said they had been praying for a salsa program. As is often the case with this good-karma magnet, there was more providence where that came from.
A conversation with a man she barely knew led to the donation of 40 pairs of dance shoes. A drop-in visit to Queen Bee's Art and Cultural Center in North Park resulted in the donation of dance-studio space. And on the day her students tried on their new dance shoes, a few questions led to a whole new adventure.
One student asked if she could also teach them hip-hop. Another one asked for jazz. A third one asked about ballet. So Castillo decided that what the Monarch School really needed — in addition to the after school salsa lessons that she hadn't actually started teaching yet — was a summer dance camp. And she was the one who would do it
"Someone asked me, 'How are you going to do a camp?' " Castillo said over tea last week. "I said, 'I don't know, but I'll get it done.' "
Getting things done is what Castillo does. Born in Long Island, N.Y., Castillo moved with her single mother to Mexico City when she was 7, where she caught the can-do spirit watching her Mom manage a boutique. They moved to Chula Vista five years later, where Castillo convinced the Bonita Vista Middle School administrators to let her study with the English-speaking kids, even though she barely spoke English at the time.
Castillo caught up with English, moved on to Bonita Vista High and then to graphic-design studies at San Diego State University. Eventually, she ended up in real estate, a career she stopped loving when she was moved to the new-home sales pressure cooker. Salsa lessons helped her cope, as did an interest in volunteering that grew in leaps and impressive bounds.
"I don't think she is scared to ask for anything," said Alexis Rodriguez of the JDRF juvenile-diabetes organization, where Castillo has been a community-outreach and fundraising volunteer for the last few years. "She is genuine in how she asks, and her passion definitely comes across. I don't know what it is, but she is always able to convince people and get them on board."

only on a per character basis
I know these are dirty words around here, but would people be opposed to cloth/fabric parts or pieces for characters? For example, many of the POP figures had cloth on their vintage counterparts. Some designs would be easier to make if they could simply have fabric clothing instead of hard plastic. Would people here be opposed to some characters having cloth parts?
We already have Grizzlor with fur, so it's sort of similar to have soft material in place of hard plastic. Not every new figure, just some for which articulation and design could be an issue.

I clicked yes...why is it saying I clicked no?
I have been missing cloth capes since the late 90's. We get them every once and a while on a smaller figure, but I feel that they're better for display. Yeah, I get that it'll always look perfect in plastic for the most part. But, I doesn't weigh down the figure and doesn't hinder the articulation.
I think for some softer things would be good, for one I hate that Adam has his arms so far out to the sides because he's wearing a simple shirt, like he has on Battle Armor or something....
I would like hair to somehow be softer....She-Ra's bugs the hell out of me, and the lack of posability with the hair on many figure....
I think however the molded capes look good as opposed to being cloth....so, not exactly sure how to vote....it's not really a figure basis, it's more a what on what figure basis.
Recent.... HATMOTU Trap Jaw
Coming.... Classics Vultak
Wanted.... Classics Masque & Callix?
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
I voted for the only on a per character basis option.
A good example would be Netossa. Her cape/net should have been a cloth fabric...
Masters of the Universe and ThunderCats - together for the first time! Pure AWESOME!
**Staunch FILMation lover!!! **** MUST have a New Adventures Subscription!!!**
MOTUC NEEDS more TROLLANS !!!
I'd say yes but there has to be a certain level of quality to the material and how it's used. King Greyskull's cape comes to mind. It would have to match the quality of the rest of the figure or else it's a waist of time.
A journey that began long ago in a place neither near nor far
A story of heroes, passed down through the ages
Until now.
This is our story. These are our heroes
Yeah, Netossa definitely needed a cloth/net like material for her cape. I could see it being useful on someone like Eldor as well. You know, give him a real Obi-Wan Kenobi vibe.

"We have a Ram-Man"
Soft goods would be cool, but I bet it would be harder to get the look right.
Yes. There are figures that could have possibly had them earlier on which (imo only) and if they did start doing it now would seem inconsistent. Had they done it from the start, i don't think i'd be against it.
Most Wanted MOTU Classics:
*200X ~ WMD Roboto/Sorceress *Filmation ~ Teela' Na/Hawke *Play-Sets ~ Eternia/Crystal Castle *Vehicles ~ Land Shark/Roton *Beasts ~ Stridor/Dragoon
I won't buy figures with clothes, they look silly on small figures... Adam looks really better with the plastic vest...
you know what? at first i was a little bit disappointed that Mattel was using plastic to make capes and such, but i've grown so used to it that i kinda prefer it now ... and besides, a figure with cloth now would clash against what we already have.
Also, you got a little mixed up in making the questions , i mean, first you ask "Do you oppose to cloth", then you ask "Would you be in favour of cloth" . I believe some folks (liek me for example) may have been misguided.

First the questions are confusing, if you answer "yes" to the title should be "no" to the poll question. Please change the thread title to match the poll question.
As for the question I think it depends on the character, if you want something unique like Grizzlor then it is worthy. But to apply this to every cape or cloth I don't think that would be good aesthetically. For example Scareglow's cape is perfect the way it is while the vintage was fabric.
Sorry for the confusion...Vbulletin frustrates me cause it makes you do the poll AFTER the whole post. I forgot what I wrote, lol.
Fabric should definitely be allowed.
Sure, on a case-by-case basis.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
Instagram & Snapchat: Just_Thommy
Unfortunately, the thread title caused me to mess up my vote. I answered No, as I thought the question was "Are you opposed to cloth/fabric in MOTUC?"
For the record, my vote should have been Yes, I am in favour of fabric.
I said on a case by case basis......but it would really be when absolutly necessary only.....like in Grizlor's case to keep the vintage look. I do NOT want to start having figures with rooted hair or dress up outfits (sorry fashion fans)...that would be very out of place IMO. The only exception would be Gwildor honestly as I think he may benefit from it....but even then I'm torn cause it may look out of place as well. Karg would be cool too as he never had a figure and he would probably turn out awesome that way. It would be way more noticable on the ladies though as we have enough of them established already without it. Eldor's robe would even be out of place now as I would asume it would be done now in a similar fashion to PD He-man for continuity. Had they done this from the start it would be a completely different story, but now that we're this far into the line it's a little late to make a new standard.

My Trader Feedback: http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...mighty-He-Dad!
I think that there are some accessories that could have been very interesting in cloth - like Frosta's cape. If they used something iridescent like the original material on the vintage figure, I think that would have been pretty interesting.
Hmm. I guess there's nothing stopping me from making one...I might try that...
At this point- yes, I'm opposed.
One of the main rules of good design is consistency. Following this rule is one of many great traits that put 4H a cut above the rest. If they had been using real softgoods from the beginning, I'd feel differently. Or if they were to go back and remake all capes and such for a special cloth accessories pack which we know will never happen.
no. its good without fabric
Skeleton-Warriors, Ra-Jar, Spinwit, Rock Golem, General Tartaran, Hawke, Slob-Boar, King Agho, Hunga the Harpy, Sh'gora, Masks of Power Demons, Nocturna, Lizzor, Sagitar, Crimson Fury, Lodar, Vizar, Angast, Negator, King Miro, Melaktha, Crystal-Man, ABC Giants, Stridor, Road Ripper, Land Shark
It wouldn't bother me if it was on a cape but other than that I don't really see the need for cloth/fabric. So only on a per character basis.
In general, I am opposed to soft/non-plastic clothes on the MOTUC figures. Primarily because it would look odd to me for some to have cloth goods while many others don't.
Netossa could have used a cloth cape though. That I agree. Her cape is less a "cape" and more an accessory. I really dig how we had fur on Grizzlor, flocking on Moss Man, and rooted hair on Megator. These were all great because they were unique and special to the character. But capes and clothes as a rule should be plastic just to keep the line looking similar.

To the editor:
I absolutely agree with Linda Gibson�s Sept. 15 letter to the editor headlined, �Accident involving �Radio� was inevitable,� in which she wrote her opinion regarding Robert �Radio� Mattocks. Her remarks describing how this man is a menace to traffic safety could not be more appropriate; and I commend her for having the nerve and the courage to speak out.
As I passed his side-show at what is perhaps the most high-risk intersection in town � the corner of Western Boulevard and U.S. 17 � I, too, have thought many times that such a distraction will be a contributing factor in a traffic-related tragedy. I am completely amazed that it has not happened before now as on many occasions I have witnessed vehicles whizzing through that intersection honking horns and yelling out the window to elicit even further antics from Radio.
I can guarantee that if I were to decide to set up alongside a busy intersection or byway in town and begin bouncing, shouting, singing and flinging my arms, I would be promptly issued a citation and ushered away.
As for the idea that he does this for exercise, the same concept applies. What would happen if the rest of us decide to take our exercise for several hours each day at the various busy sidewalks, stop lights and congested corners of town?
I agree that the time has come for Radio�s show to move on to a private location, such as his own backyard.

Session Tone Set By Raise Clashes
Magistrate pay made a major issue by GOP delegates this year
February 25, 2013
CHARLESTON (AP) — At least some Republicans in West Virginia's House of Delegates believe their failed bid to block proposed magistrate court pay raises, and similar partisan clashes that are......
Great time for the Republicans to introduce new standard of ethics in the behavior of government at city , county and state level. Start penalizing the cities and counties for failure to perform to the Ethic Commission Standards with greater fines until they can pass a Sunshine Review with at least a B. Too many mayor and government employees are being caught and fined by the Ethic Commission just the tip of the bad government. The different levels of governments are not doing their job or they are part of the problem. More fines and greater penalties might get better government from both parties. Create more work for the Magistrates to earn their pay.

THE "HATE-FILLED"/"FLAT EARTHERS" that voted straight Republican this past November, hail from the very Counties that Magistrates are crying for equal pay.

Poor Caputo just can't understand that W.Va. actually is coming close to having two parties. He liked that one-party rule the Democrats have enjoyed for the past 80+ years (and look how well that's worked out for impoverished, uneducated West Virginia!).
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Democrat Delegates Miley and Manchin, both lawyers, sponsored these pay raises to Judges they will be arguing cases in front of. The bill flew out of Chairman Miley's Judiciary Committee to be fast tracked. Nothing like a little legal grease. Republicans do not think elected officials should get raises costing nearly $1 Million per year when leader Thompson tells us we do not have enough money to fix the roads and may need a gas tax hike!
Delegate Faircloth is right. We MUST hold them responsible for not doing what is best for the people. The decades of putting special interests first is coming yo an end. The voters will remember.
"Is this the way this session is going to be, all year?" House Majority Whip Mike Caputo complained. Yes, Mikey. You may no longer be able to get your way all the time.

no elected official today deserves even being considered for a raise.you all are losers yet you think that you deserve a raise.they must not have known what the jobs paid when they ran for them.with the shape that this country is in i would never ask for a raise.greed at it's best.

Here are the results from (mostly) before the spring game.
Think it would be cool to see how much this changes.
The spring game changed my vote from Barnett to Jantz.

Barnett just can run the zone read soo much better. I wasnt able to see the spring game, but Barnett just seems like the better natural fit for this offense.
Peyton Manning.
The only thing better about Barnett this season appears to be his number change from #16 to #7.

This is true, but I think we can get enough variety on the ground by using our 4-5 running backs in different formations, positions, and personnel groups. Steele Jantz, though willing to take huge risks, has the better arm with which to make deeper passes. To spread the opposition out, we need to be able to stretch the field vertically as well as horizontally, and Jantz gives us the best chance to do just that.
Barnett, however, is capable of running an efficient offense, and I would not be disappointed to see him win the job by any stretch of the imagination.
Seriously, I don't care who starts as long as they take care of the ball and keep the D out of short field situations.
JB looked god awful on Saturday, with Jantz a close second. Sam doesn't look like he could run that spread option too many times, seems like a pocket passer to me.
John Walters is my hero
I still want Debbie Derps Dallas
Steele and barnett may have reached their ceiling. It doesn't appear to be very high for either.

Ya, he did have a few head scratchers.
I want the QB who demonstrates in fall practices that they give the team the best chance to win. Since we don't know who that will be, I want to vote for Derp-ech Mode again.
As CPR predicted before spring ball, we really aren't any closer to an answer than we were before.

Jackson, Miss.
Mississippi lawmakers have passed a bill requiring public and private schools to evaluate student athletes for concussion after they're shaken up during practice or competition. It awaits action by the governor.
A player with a concussion would be banned from play until fully recovered.
The bill was pushed by the NFL and the Mississippi State Medical Association and supported by associations that govern school activities.
The National Sports Concussion Coalition says all other states already have similar laws.
The bill would not cover sports teams that are not affiliated with schools.
House Public Health Committee Chairman Sam Mims says he doesn't want to put burdens on people who volunteer to coach those teams.

DMSO 99.9% 8 Ounce
Caution: May cause skin irritation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with water. Call a physician.
Note: Pure DMSO crystallizes at temperature below 67 F. This does not harm the product. Thaw in a warm place. Keep away from open flames.
Sold as a solvent only: This product is intended for use as a solvent only. The choice of the process used in the various applications is the sole responsibility of the user. it is unlawful to represent in any way that this product is useful or safe to use for medicinal purposes.
Keep out of reach of children.
DMSO has been used for over 100 years in the United States. It is a natural substance derived from wood pulp and is harmless when used with the proper precautions. It is sold as a solvent. DMSO is an amazing substance that has many uses throughout the world.
DMSO may be helpful for relieving pain, inflammation, scleroderma, and interstitial cystitis however, intended use is as a solvent only and the choice of using it in other applications is the sole responsibility of the user.
Dimethyl Sulfoxide is a clear liquid known for its ability to permeate living tissue. It is believed to help stimulate cellular processes. It has a distinctive and slightly unpleasant odor, but Dr. Morton Walker, in his book, DMSO: The New Healing Power, describes how it appears to help block pain, reduce inflammation, kill bacteria and funguses, reduce blood clotting, improve circulation, neutralize free radicals, stimulate the immune system, and hasten the healing of wounds.
The face and neck are more sensitive to topical DMSO than other parts of the body, and the maximum concentration of DMSO should therefore be reduced by diluting the concentrate with sterile or distilled water. If you develop a rash or redness, you may want to reconsider using this product.
We recommend that you do some research on this product before using it. You can do so by checking out your local library or bookstore for Morton Walker's book or other books on the product. You can also check out websites such as www.dmso.org.

The Rainbow Loom is clearly the run away toy of the year! We started getting emails from our toy testers about the must have loom that has generated so much interest (and youtube how to videos). We love a toy story that involves a small company that just hits it HUGE. Our parent testers told us that they helped their kids get the hang of it, but once kids learn how to use the loom they're off and running. A great craft that allows kids to make bracelets for themselves, their friends and family members. The set comes with a loom, hook, instructions and more than 600 latex free rubber bands - will make 24 bracelets. Move over Elmo, the Rainbow Loom is the hot toy of 2013.

Ed Frauenheim is on assignment.
There's been a lot of chatter regarding Sheryl Sandberg's new book Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead. Many people have expressed opinions supporting Sandberg's manifesto, and plenty of dissenting opinions have been expressed as well.
In an interview with CNN, Sandberg said what she thinks the most interesting thing about the larger dialogue she's started with her book is the relative lack of a male voice in the conversation.
So that's what I'm doing: providing a male voice.
I haven't read Lean In. However, I watched Sandberg being interviewed about the book, and I've read enough articles to get the gist of it. Plus, I don't think reading Lean In is entirely necessary in order to contribute at a base level since the book's simply the result of the much larger topic of women in the workplace and the even larger issue of women's rights in general.
So with that, I'll start by saying it's absolutely vital for men to be involved in the conversation. Feminism, women's rights, isn't gender-exclusive. In my own interpretation of the ideology, it's a commitment to equality among all human beings. And as such it requires both sexes to contribute to the dialogue if any progress is to be made.
In her book, Sandberg, who is the COO at Facebook, calls on men to "lean in" when it comes to helping at home, to take up a more equal role in the domestic sphere. Rebecca J. Rosen writing for the Atlantic agrees with this idea but also argues men should lean in at work too for the simple reason that they still wield a disproportionate amount of power in the workplace. For the typical white male holding a private sector job, nearly seventy percent of his co-workers at a similar level his organization are also white males. With this amount of leverage, men (especially white men) who dislike inequality just as much as women do are in a position to help facilitate actual change.
But what people seem to be reacting against most is Sandberg's idea that individual women need to overcome their own internal obstacles—that such an argument is one that comes from a special place of privilege and is much easier said than done, simply because "internal obstacles" will vary with each individual. Plus, when you're a white billionaire from a privileged background, overcoming internal obstacles is more than likely a very easy thing to do. I agree with this criticism of Lean In as elitist. Sandberg doesn't really account for regular women with regular problems, and how they may not make "leaning in" at work their most important priority. Just trying to get through the workday may be the top priority more often than not when you've got a million other things to worry about at home.
All criticism aside though, as I said above, Sandberg's book has people talking. And even if there isn't a consensus among the different groups of people who recognize the importance of improving women's status in the business world, there are now plenty of ideas about how to do it being discussed. To me, that can really only yield positive result for everyone. To offer another male voice to the conversation, I'll quote Henry Rollins, punk rock legend, from his recent short essay about the Steubenville, Ohio, rape case: "Things get better when women get more equality. That is a bit obvious but I think it leads to better results up the road."

Florida surgeon at center of Sen. Menendez trips
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. To some, Dr. Salomon Melgen was a miracle worker who brought sight to the blind. To others, he was a smooth political player known for rubbing elbows and jet-setting.
Whichever version of Melgen roused the interest of the FBI, which raided his offices this week, their investigation has illuminated the surgeon's ability to build ties to a host of Democratic lawmakers.
Foremost among them is Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey, whose friendship with Melgen has yielded fundraisers, campaign contributions and trips on a private plane. Menendez said this week he did nothing wrong, and flatly denied allegations reported by The Daily Caller, a conservative website, that he traveled on Melgen's plane to the Dominican Republic for sex with prostitutes.
Though facts remain piecemeal, a fuller portrait of Melgen has emerged. There are photos of the beaming doctor sandwiched between Menendez and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a trail of checks written to politicians and a web of business interests that apparently fueled his wealth.
Melgen, 58, is a native of the Dominican Republic who has lived in the U.S. since at least 1980, holding medical posts around the country while building a reputation as a top ophthalmologist. He has a wife and two children.
Calls to his home and office were not answered, but his attorney has said he did nothing wrong.
On the website for his Vitreo-Retinal Consultants Eye Center practice, he is called a pioneer and an innovator, a front-runner in treatment of macular degeneration, a common eye disorder. He has treated "presidents, governors, politicians, celebrities and actors," according to his website.
Patricia Goodman, his office manager and personal assistant for a decade until cancer forced her to quit in 1999, remembers an endless stream of patients coming from all over the world for his care.
"He was just the best surgeon," she said, "and we had people that would come in that were blind and told they would never see again and he brought back their sight."
When Goodman was suffering through cancer, her paychecks never stopped, nor did Melgen's concern. He would often provide his services for free to people who could not afford it.
She's reluctant to say anything negative about him, except to say he was a "ladies man" and liked "living on the edge." She refused to elaborate.
As Goodman remembers it, a single big-name introduction appeared to fuel Melgen's entrance into the world of politics. Then-Gov. Lawton Chiles of Florida, a Democrat, went to Melgen for eye surgery in 1997 and later tapped the doctor for a state panel on HMOs. Not long afterward, he became a reliable donor to Democratic power brokers and a frequent host of fundraisers at both his waterfront, 6,500-square-foot home near North Palm Beach and his house in the Dominican Republic in the exclusive residential resort community of Casa de Campo.
Goodman coordinated logistics for the fundraisers - buffets, bands and a huge patio where revelers could dance. She remembers events with former Sens. Christopher Dodd and Bob Graham and former Dominican President Leonel Fernandez. Melgen basked in the newfound attention.
"He loved the limelight, he loved it," Goodman said. "He loved being with the politicians."
Last year, Melgen's practice gave $700,000 to Majority PAC, a super political action committee set up to fund Democratic candidates for Senate. Aided by Melgen's donation, the super PAC became the largest outside political committee contributing to Menendez's re-election, spending more than $582,000 on the senator's behalf, according to an analysis of federal election records.
Melgen and his immediate family have given tens of thousands more to other political causes, including directly to Menendez.

Corinne or Holland?
My husband and I want a name for our baby girl on the way that is not trendy and not popular. We like both these names: Corinne (2nd syllable pronounced "in") and Holland. Corinne's nickname would likely be Cora. Holland's nickname would likely be Holly. But I'd really like to focus on the full/proper name here. Which do you like better?
Some middle name combinations are:
Corinne Holland Grace
Corinne Autumn Grace
Holland Corinne Grace
Our last name starts with "L".
Thank you for your help! Maybe talking it out like this will help us choose

My favorite is Corinne Autumn Grace, because I think it flows the best, but since you love the name Holland, I would do Corinne Holland Grace. I prefer Corinne as a first name over Holland because Holland will forever be associated with a location, whereas Corinne will more easily be associated with a person. The -land ending in Holland makes it decidedly a place rather than a girl. I do like the sound of the word, but I would recommend maybe Hollis instead of Holland if you wanted to go that route. Corinne is beautiful.
