Kochs' Grassroots Leadership Academy Training Astroturf Army
But with the Kochs having already spent at least $400 million of $889 million committed to the 2016 election cycle, according to news reports, where is that money being spent?
An under-covered arm of the Koch political operations is a likely recipient of some of that cash and it's called Americans for Prosperity's "Grassroots Leadership Academy." Read the rest of this item here.
Is the EPA Being Pressured on Atrazine?
Atrazine is manufactured and distributed by Syngenta, a foreign global chemical company, that markets the product in the U.S. to limit plants that may compete with commodity crops or would be considered weeds on golf courses.
The EPA memo that was released was hand-signed by six scientists in the U.S. government's Environmental Risk Branch of the Environmental Fate and Effects Division. The 500+ page study was subject to peer review by twelve other scientists. Read the rest of this item here.

ED: No Records on Closed Charters Mentioned in Its "Commitment to Transparency," CMD Appeals
That statement noted that it had spent more than $1.6 billion funding more than 2,600 charter schools that were "operational" in the last full school year and that it had funded 430 charters that had "subsequently closed," along with 699 "prospective schools."
However, ED released data for only the operational charter schools and did not list the 1,129 charters that either closed or had not yet opened since 2006. So, in January, CMD requested records about those other charters.
In April, ED denied CMD's request saying it had searched and found no records about the closed or not-opened charters that had received federal taxpayer monies, despite the specific numbers it used in its release. Read the rest of this item here.

U.S. Chamber Works Behind the Scenes to Gut Whistleblower ProtectionsEfforts to gut the federal False Claims Act backed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce got a hearing on Capitol Hill Thursday. The federal push builds on previous back-door Chamber efforts through the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) to discourage states from pursuing fraud claims.
The False Claims Act (FCA) allows the government to recover from businesses that defraud government programs like Medicare and Medicaid, and protects whistleblowers who report suspected fraud on government contracts. According to the Department of Justice, cases brought under the FCA resulted in the recovery of $42 billion from 1987-2013, making it an important legal tool for deterring fraud and protecting public funds.

A Reality Check for "Charter School Week"
One could be forgiven for thinking "National Charter School Week" already happened.
For education observers in the U.S., every week seems like Charter School Week. As billionaires Bill and Melinda Gates, Eli Broad, the Walton family, the Koch brothers, and others put millions of dollars per year into a "reform" movement that undermines and supplants truly public education, the government diverts more and more of taxpayer money to charters and other variations of "choice."

One of the harshest critics of the film is a group that calls itself the "Independent Women's Forum" (IWF).

Koch Candidates? Where Is the Koch Machine Spending in 2016 So Farpiece in the National Review, suggest that Charles and David Koch are less interested and less involved in national politics in the 2016 election cycle than in previous years.
This latest PR effort comes despite the fact that $400 million of the $889 pledge by the Kochs through their "Freedom Partners" network has already been invested in the outcome of the 2016 elections, with more money to be spent.
A close examination of recent campaign finance disclosures and other data reveals that Team Koch has already identified some of their candidates for 2016 and in many cases has already started spending big on behalf of candidates in races for the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, state Governorships and state Attorney General races--as the presidential tickets remain unsettled and controversial.

Praise for SourceWatch!
"As a journalist frequently on the receiving end of various PR campaigns, some of them based on disinformation, others front groups for undisclosed interests, [CMD's SourceWatch] is an invaluable resource."
"Thanks for all your help. There's no way I could have done my piece on big PR and global warming without CMD [the Center for Media and Democracy] and your fabulous websites."
"The troublemakers at the Center for Media and Democracy, for example, point to dozens of examples of "greenwashing," which they defined as the "unjustified appropriation of environmental virtue by a company, an industry, a government or even a non-government organization to sell a product, a policy" or rehabilitate an image. In the center's view, many enterprises labeled green don't deserve the name.
"The dearth of information on the [U.S.] government [lobbying] disclosure forms about the other business-backed coalitions comes in stark contrast to the data about them culled from media reports, websites, press releases and Internal Revenue Service documents and posted by SourceWatch, a website that tracks advocacy groups."
"The folks at the Center for Media and Democracy have done incredible work documenting fake grassroots ("astroturf") groups. Here, they're helping protect the rights of all Americans to exercise their right to vote. They are completely non-partisan. These guys are the real deal."

2012 Wimbledon Outrights
Novak Djokovic has won first Grand Slam of the season so far, but in my opinion he is still not even close to his best shape.
His plan for this season is to stay at the first place, but also to win Olympic games gold medal and defend points on Grand Slam Tournament.
The biggest problem for Djokovic will be to win French Open for the first time, but at the other surfaces he should be clear favorite to win all Grand Slam titles.
He had tell many times his favorite Grand Slam is the one in London and this year he will have special preparation for grass surface, since Olympic Games are going to be played on the same surface.
Last year he had everything but good draw and no one could win more than one set on whole tournament. Actually in last four rounds he did lose each time one set, but he didn't lose control of the match against any opponent.
He will now be even stronger, as now he has Wimbledon trophy in his collection, so he will play this year with less pressure than usual and in my opinion he will win the title easier than he did last year.
Re: 2012 Wimbledon Outrights
I took Djokovic to win this year's Wimbledon too but took a small flyer on Tsonga and Isner.
For the woman, it's anyone's guess but took Sharapova again. Small bets on Kerber, Clijsters and Paszek too. With the woman, it's anyone's guess who will show up lol.
Re: 2012 Wimbledon Outrights
I've backed Berdych and Tsonga.
Both have better Wimbledon records than Murray who is a lot shorter in the market.
Tsonga almost beat Nole at Roland Garros despite the fact that clay is a better surface for the Serb. He should meet Nadal in the Quarters and I give him a chance.
Berdych has a nice draw and has to beat Djokovic and Federer to get to the Final.
He has done this before.
He is 40/1.
Get on.
Re: 2012 Wimbledon Outrights
I took Berdych at the beginning but I don't believe he has the meddle to win it all.
Re: 2012 Wimbledon Outrights
ive got joker too i had birdy huge the year he made it to the final only to lay an egg against nadal he will lay another egg if he makes the final tsonga on the other hand has way more balls than t bird
Re: 2012 Wimbledon Outrights
Re: 2012 Wimbledon Outrights
Federer to win - $5.71
Re: 2012 Wimbledon Outrights
Murray could be a good price @ 18/1. He might win when people least expect.
Re: 2012 Wimbledon Outrights
Murray @ 2.9 to win his quarter.
Think I might go for this.
Re: 2012 Wimbledon Outrights
Nadal NOT to reach final - $2.07
Re: 2012 Wimbledon Outrights
Clear path for Murray now. Can he take advantage....
Re: 2012 Wimbledon Outrights
Fed Express 3.50 - The opening the champ wanted more then anything else!
Re: 2012 Wimbledon Outrights
Novak $2.00
Very impressive all round game against Radek. Firing winners off both side and serving very well. Roger "Shank"derer won't beat this Novak.
Re: 2012 Wimbledon Outrights
Victoria Azarenka 3.75!
Re: 2012 Wimbledon Outrights
Delpo to win Wimbledon @ 34.00
Absolutely astronomical odds. He may have a better chance at winning in Flushing again but I believe other than that this is his best shot.
He should dominate Ferru. Both guys like the ball high but at the end of the day Delpo is too consistent for the little guy. Then Murray in the quarter. Nothing easy about that but lets be honest Delpo will have nothing to lose and he loves the roll of the underdog. I thoroughly expect him to knock Murray out and the only thing that might not allow it is Murray's experience here on this surface but Delpo is the better/hotter player.
He owns Tsonga, we all know that. Beating Murray is the real test because any SF match for him will be a breeze.
Then the final. Again nothing easy especially with his track record against Rog and how good Nole is but how can anyone pass this price

Intersections: Data and Digital Advertising: Creating Successful Targeted Digital Ad Campaigns Comes Down to Audience Data
Peck, Gretchen A., Editor & Publisher
As they now become digital publishers, newspaper organizations have a glut of audience insight into what both readers want and advertisers want to know.
"Newspapers ... are among the most trusted brands for providing valuable and useful content. Further, they have long-standing relationships with huge numbers of consumers," said Peyton Marcus, practice executive at Digital Media Solutions, Infinitive. "But they must learn to think along the lines of truly digital and 100 percent audience centricity if they are to thrive as ad-driven businesses. That means seeing more clearly the links between the technology they use to run the business, how it impacts the customer [and] audience experience, and how they use data to manage their businesses."
In buying or selling targeted digital advertising, it's prudent to know the target--in this case, the newspaper publishers' audiences, and among them, advertisers' prospects. Marketers may wish to target members of the community based on demographics alone, but may be more easily compelled by greater insight into preferences, interests, geography, chronology, behaviors, hot buttons, shopping histories and other information afforded by digital media.
Audience intel
At KPC Media Group, Inc., mining data is becoming increasingly important to delivering good content and targeted advertising across a variety of media and platforms. Data comes in from a variety of sources--digital ad and native ad performance statistics, geographic and demographic data, behavioral insight from the Web and e-publications, and third-party measurements from social-media properties.
"We can look at how long people are looking at certain things, and what type of things capture their attention for a longer period of time. I think that everybody would agree that it's not really about how many people are accessing a site, as much as it's how long they're staying on the site," KPC Media's chief operating officer Terry Ward said.
This is good data, insightful information and valuable intelligence.
"Newspapers have been erecting registration gateways and paywalls," noted Marcus. "They have been collecting precious marketing data on their users' demographic, geographic and potentially psychographic data. "Since in exchange for the information provided users are often incentivized with more relevant content, the data is typically clean and relatively current. In addition, more modern publishers are able to combine this rich, explicitly collected data with implied or behavior-based data--like articles read, sections frequented--and externally purchased data to highlight the niche audiences amongst their users, which their advertisers are so desperately trying to reach."
Clark Gilbert, president and chief executive officer of Salt Lake City-based The Deseret News said that behavioral targeting has proven particularly effective.
"Google has such a powerful model because it can take revealed behaviors through search, and target someone through that," Gilbert explained. "Someone may be looking for a mortgage. So why would a lender want to spend money to target anyone other than people who are looking for mortgages?"
In addition to acquiring third-party data--about which Gilbert said, "Everyone can do that; everyone should do that"--Deseret also relies on behavioral intelligence for audiences accessing a range of its publications and properties, including a long roster of social-media communities.
"We've also built a classified model," Gilbert noted. "When someone searches for a ear or a home or a restaurant--you could go on and on--they've now revealed behavior to us, and we use that to retarget throughout our site.
"The bigger your classified section is, the more chances to retarget that audience into your news site," Gilbert continued. "News isn't very targeted. …

Riding today and my read derailleur hanger explodes and the derailleur gets stuck in my spokes. How common is this?
A little background...
I bought a KHS alite 500 in February. First bike I have owned in over ten years. I didn't do much research before purchasing but I went to a LBS and it was the best out of what I tried that day. I rode it fairly often the first few weeks, but always on paved trails or in the neighborhood. Then about two months ago I bought a trailer to pull my daughter around the neighborhood and have ridden nearly every day since.
So my first question is could the added weight from pulling a trailer up neighborhood hills (lots of shifting) every day for two months stressed out the hanger? OR, how about the fact that I fell over twice yesterday, on that side of the bike. Twice. I've had my SPDs for three months and never fell, but for some reason yesterday I was a jackass with no coordination.
I've read plenty of times that you should keep a spare hanger on hand, but I always assumed this was for rough trail riding and not for a guy stuck in the neighborhood.

aw man dude that Tali costume is sweet. And i just have to ask because it will kill me if i don't. Have you ever asked her to reenact "The Scene" from Mass Effect 2?
friken sweet man
That is some nice work May i ask how you made the Quarian oufit?
Cause that looks awesome, like the real thing!
Cause that looks awesome, like the real thing!
Thanks for the compliment. I used various techniques to build the costume parts. Do you have any specific questions
Not a problem
Um how long did it take you to construct the whole thing? How did you get the pattern on the hood, it looks identical to Tali's. And what fabrics and materials did you use?
Um how long did it take you to construct the whole thing? How did you get the pattern on the hood, it looks identical to Tali's. And what fabrics and materials did you use?
took 4 months or so. The fabric is dress fabric from a store. I drew the pattern on with silver paint pens.
I've gotta ask (and I'm sure you've been asked this a bajillion times) what did you use for your N7 armour?
Ok, THAT is just impressive
Nice Quarian costume!!
You make quite a good Sheppard. In contrast to that generic brute force Sheppard of Mass Effect you rather look like an inquisitive, old school space ranger Sheppard.
Shepard can look like whatever you want him to. Many people who play the game will customize their Shepard to look like themselves anyway.
I know that. It's just that despite of this possibility people often depict the generic version of Sheppard.
Wow...those are fantastic costumes; look on good people, this is cosplay done right.
Man you and your partner must have to juse a lot of time forr those costumes.

Become the courageous leader of your tribe and wear this Native American Brave Costume for Men to your next Halloween or theme party.

Stuff Liberal White Ladies Like
Fort Worth, Texas — If you are looking for the end of the line for the Sanctimonious White Lady party, you might very well find it here in Dallas's slightly less pretentious sister city, where the bleached blondeness and sequined daywear of the Big D lose just a little of their sparkle as you approach the ancient stockyards and the suburban Haltom coliseum, and where state senator and newly announced gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis, who became a national liberal cause célèbre after staging a filibuster in favor of gruesome late-term abortions, and whose candidacy was immediately endorsed and its coffers topped up by A-list abortion organizations, is studiously not talking about abortion — she doesn't even say the word, in fact — instead giving voice to what may very well be the last barbaric yawp of her dwindling tribe. In Texas, you hear a great deal of cocky talk from Sanctimonious White Ladies about the inevitable demographic changes that will someday soon — and maybe this time! — turn the Lone Star State into a Colorado, if not a California. Democrats have not won a statewide office in Texas since François Mitterrand's career was a going concern and Netscape Navigator was in beta, but they are convinced of the inevitability of their ascendance.
And it may yet come to pass. But don't bet on Wendy Davis's faction's being around to see it.

By STEVEN GREENHOUSE and STEPHEN LABATON
Published: February 6, 2002
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5— Enron executives acknowledged today that before they temporarily prevented employees from selling company stock in their retirement accounts last fall, the executives had sharply debated delaying the moratorium because employees could suffer heavy losses from a plunging stock price.
''We were concerned in the benefits department about the deterioration of the stock price,'' Mikie Rath, a benefits manager at Enron, said in testimony before the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee. But after the debate on the eve of the moratorium, they imposed the so-called blackout period to give themselves time to replace the administrators of the retirement plan.
Enron executives said they decided it would be too hard to notify the participants in the company's 401(k) plan immediately. They also said they feared they would open themselves to lawsuits by plan participants who were notified about the delay later than others for reasons like mail delays.
The disclosures on the pension plan came as other Congressional committees took up Enron matters.
House and Senate lawmakers issued subpoenas to compel the testimony of Enron's former chief executive, Kenneth L. Lay, while Congressional and state officials broadened their investigations into why state pension funds and state agencies invested and did business with Enron as it spiraled downward last year.
The Senate Commerce Committee voted unanimously to issue the subpoena to require Mr. Lay's appearance next Tuesday. A similar subpoena was issued by Representative Michael G. Oxley, the Ohio Republican who is chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.
A spokeswoman for Mr. Lay, who had been scheduled to testify on Monday but bowed out, said his lawyers would work out details for his appearance, although lawmakers said they expected that he would invoke his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
While Mr. Lay may not answer any questions, members of a House subcommittee on oversight and investigation focused on him today, trying to glean, by proxy, what he might say.
Under questioning, William C. Powers, chairman of the special investigative committee of Enron's board that wrote a harshly critical report, said that in his four-hour interview with Mr. Lay, the former chairman understood that off-the-books partnerships were set up to hide losses. ''But,'' Mr. Powers said, ''he didn't understand or appreciate that there was anything wrong with that. That's his story. The accountants signed off, and he was O.K. with that.''
President Bush brushed aside a demand by Senator Ernest F. Hollings, the South Carolina Democrat who heads the Commerce Committee, that a special counsel should be appointed to supervise the criminal investigation of Enron. Mr. Hollings cited Enron's ties to administration officials, including the attorney general.
Mr. Bush told reporters as he toured a research laboratory in Pittsburgh: ''This is a business problem, and my Justice Department is going to investigate. If there's wrongdoing, we'll hold them accountable for mistreatment of employees and shareholders.''
Lawyers representing the employees have accused Enron of stock fraud for imposing the moratorium and for not disclosing the company's financial condition, resulting, the lawyers say, in losses of more than $1.2 billion for the 15,000 participants in Enron's retirement plan. During the moratorium, employees could not sell stock in the retirement plan, but senior executives faced no restrictions in selling their stock.
The testimony prompted a new round of criticism of Enron's senior officials for looking out for their own interests while turning their backs on their employees.
''Management knew full well that their employees' 401(k)'s were overloaded with shares of Enron,'' said Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, the Connecticut Democrat who is chairman of the governmental affairs committee. ''Shouldn't that have prompted them to postpone the lockdown when the company was reeling?''
In response to the collapse of Enron, an administration task force is preparing recommendations to revise securities and corporate laws. Administration officials said that they were debating proposals to make it more likely that corporate executives and boards face personal liability for violating the law.
Officials in Connecticut, one of several states considering whether to suspend or revoke the license of Arthur Andersen, Enron's accounting firm, said they had subpoenaed Andersen records.
Richard Blumenthal, the attorney general in Connecticut, said he was examining a state agency's decision last year to pay Enron $220 million for an energy contract that might never be fulfilled.
At a House committee hearing, Joseph F. Berardino, Andersen's chief executive, repeated earlier statements that important information about Enron's finances had been withheld from his firm.
Democrats and Republicans repeatedly complained that Mr. Berardino was evading the committee's questions about Andersen's involvement in Enron's collapse.
''Maybe it's better to be dumb than culpable, but we want some answers,'' said Representative Gary L. Ackerman, Democrat of New York. ''Your not knowing what was going on, if that's the case, is basically saying that you have squandered the integrity of your company.''
Mr. Berardino said Andersen would establish new offices of audit quality and ethics and compliance.
Before approving the subpoena of Mr. Lay, members of the Senate Commerce Committee said that they had begun investigating losses that state pension funds sustained from the decline in Enron stock.

Qld govt 'wants to sell aged care land'
- From: AAP
- October 27, 2012
DEPUTY Prime Minister Wayne Swan has accused the Queensland government of forcing elderly people out of a state nursing home so it can sell the land.
But the state government says Wayne Swan's claims are false and hypocritical.
Mr Swan has vowed to fight what he called the "stupid and reckless" decision to close an aged care home in his federal electorate in Brisbane's north.
About 250 people turned out to a protest organised by Mr Swan, the member for Lilley, in the suburb of Brighton on Saturday.
They were protesting the closure of two units of the Eventide Aged Care Campus, announced by the state government this month.
Eighty patients are to be re-housed.
Wearing a T-shirt bearing the message "Save Eventide", an animated Mr Swan took to a makeshift stage on the back of a utility.
He urged placard-waving protesters to lobby the Newman government to reverse its decision.
"Eventide is a very special place in our community. People have been coming here ... for over 60 years," he said.
Mr Swan said he believed the state government wanted to sell the Eventide site.
"I believe the state government is not interested in maintaining this site here, and that's why they're starting to wind it down," he told reporters at the protest.
Liberal National Party (LNP) politicians who gatecrashed the event were heckled by fired-up protesters.
LNP candidate for Lilley Rod McGarvie was drowned out as he was telling reporters the aged care home needed $30 million to bring it up to standard.
In a statement, Health Minister Lawrence Springborg said jailed former Labor health minister Gordon Nuttall had agreed to sell part of the Eventide site in 2005.
"Gordon Nuttall sold the land to a not-for profit aged care provider without a peep from Mr Swan," he said.
Blue Care now leases the Eventide facilities back to Queensland Health, Mr Springborg added.

Moisture is still slowly returning to the area with south to southeast winds. It will take another 12 to 24 hours or so before we see some good quality moisture and dewpoints make it into the Missouri Ozarks area. It is quiet for the time being across the entire area as blow off high clouds moving in from deep convection near the Red River Valley. All the short term high-res models indicate scattered showers and storms will start to develop just to our west later this morning and drift into our western areas of southeast Kansas and extreme western Missouri by late morning to midday. Starting to see the first signs of this on regional radar over towards Wichita as this discussion. The current thinking is this area of showers and elevated storms will try to move into the western half of the area today but eventually dissipate due to lack of moisture and instability. The main threat for the midday storms will be lightning and maybe some small hail. We will then draw our attention to another impulse along with a strengthening low level jet tonight over eastern Kansas. Models try to develop another round of showers and storms very late tonight into early tomorrow morning. This convection may have a few strong to isolated severe storms possible over the western half of the area with hail up to quarters and gusty winds the main threats. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 233 AM CDT Mon May 23 2016 The confidence level with the timing and location of storms from Tuesday through Thursday is still low to medium at this time. It is a very challenging forecast with different factors like mesoscale features in play for the middle of the week. One aspect is certain, there will be off and on chances for scattered showers and storms through the middle of the week with increasing potential for severe weather as the week goes along with better dynamics come into play. Models have been persistent on having another mid level wave come across the area midday Tuesday through the evening with a slight better potential for severe storms across the northwest half of the area. All modes of severe weather could be possible with large hail and damaging winds the main threat...can`t rule out an isolated tornado. Another round of showers and storms will develop Wednesday afternoon and evening with a slight risk for severe weather over the northern half of the area. By the middle of the week we will have better moisture and increasing better dynamics aloft for all modes of severe weather. The upper level shortwave will finally make a move out into the central Plains region sometime late Thursday into Friday. There are some timing differences between GFS and ECMWF for the end of the week but models show a strong negatively titled wave moving out across Kansas. Thinking is our best potential for severe weather across the area may be late Thursday into Friday. With very good instability and shear...very large hail will be the main threat followed by damaging wind gusts and a couple tornadoes will be possible giving the low level slightly backed wind profiles and moisture quality. The main shortwave energy moves away from the area by the weekend but lingering moisture and mid level weakness aloft will develop additional widely scattered showers and thunderstorms possible through the weekend. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night) Issued at 1141 PM CDT Sun May 22 2016 Upper ridging was across the area late this evening with light surface wind and high pressure to our east. Convection fired this afternoon/evening in the high Plains ahead of a dryline/frontal system and upper level wave. May see remnant convection towards morning try to sneak into the western CWA. Not enough confidence to include in TAFS right now, so will continue with mid/high level clouds from the convective complex out west overnight and into Monday. A strong thermal cap will advect into the area on Monday and should help to suppress convection through the day. Will maintain VFR conditions through the forecast for all 3 TAF sites. && .SGF Watches/Warnings/Advisories... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...Griffin LONG TERM...Griffin AVIATION...Lindenberg

[artist id="2389485″]Taylor Swift[/artist] may consider her tourmate [artist id="2385935″]Kellie Pickler[/artist] one of her BFFs, but Pickler thinks of the 19-year-old superstar, who she'll be hitting the road with starting Thursday (April 23) in Evansville, Indiana, as her "little sister."
"She's like a little sister to me," the "American Idol" alum told MTV News. "She's a lot taller than me, but like a little sister."
The 22-year-old describes the tour as "amazing," but didn't want to reveal too much about what fans can expect from the girls who collaborated on Pickler's "Best Days of Your Life." "I can't give away all the secrets, but it is going to be amazing," she said. "It's going to be unlike any other country tour that anyone's ever done."
With a promise like that, it comes as no surprise that the two country stars were able to do the near-impossible and sell out New York's Madison Square Garden without even breaking a sweat. "We're actually going to be back in New York. We sold out Madison Square Garden in, like, one minute," Pickler said. "It's insane. It's going to be a great year. We're excited. We actually just started tour rehearsals. It's going to be a big show."
The girls, who will be on the road through October, aren't new to touring with one another — but this time, it's all about the girl power. "It's so amazing, 'cause Taylor and I kind of started about the same time and we did our first big country tour two years ago with Brad Paisley," she recalled. "We opened for him and that's really where we got to bond and get to know each other."

Georgia-Based Society Catalogs the Names for Hybrid Camellias
FORT VALLEY -- Ann Walton is the keeper of camellia names.
To register the name of a new camellia hybrid with the American Camellia Society, you have to show it is unique and has bloomed consistently. Then you have to go through Walton, the society's executive director, who approves all the names.
"It can't be an ugly word. I won't pass it," she said. "And it can't be the same as another one."
The society, located in Fort Valley south of Macon, has cataloged more than 2,100 individually named varieties of camellias. The names can come from anywhere -- a favorite actor, the name of a family pet or even a description of the flower.
"It's really an individual thing," Walton said. "People will name them for someone they like."
There are camellias named after celebrities Bob Hope, Nancy Reagan and Angela Lansbury, and there's even one named Dawn's Early Light.
"Look at all these names," camellia grower Frank Jamison of Fort Valley said while thumbing through the society's listings. "It's like a New York phone book."
Getting to the point of naming a flower is a long journey. Generally, only about one in 200 hybrids produce a flower good enough to name. Finding out if it's good enough takes about 11 years.
"So if you start hybridizing in your 30s or 40s and you're unsuccessful, you don't have a whole lot of time to try again," said Tom Johnson, the society's horticulturist. …

The Tokyo District Court ordered an agriculture commune Wednesday to return about 240 million yen to a former follower who claimed she was brainwashed into donating the money.
The ruling ordered the Yamagishi Life Demonstration Community in Tsu, Mie Prefecture, and other Yamagishi entities affiliated with the parent Yamagishi Association to repay the money.
The Yamagishi Association, which was launched in the town of Iga, Mie Prefecture, in the 1950s, believes communal living based largely on agriculture is indispensable to producing a humane society.
The court said the woman first attended a seminar provided by the association in 1985 and became a member of a Yamagishi community in Tsu with her two children in 1989. She decided on communal life after becoming concerned about her daughter's unruly behavior. She donated all her assets, including 230 million yen, upon joining the community, the court said.
The woman left the group in 1994 after becoming disillusioned by the extravagant lifestyles of some of the group's leaders and realizing she was simply a source of money and free labor, according to the court.
While the woman signed a contract with the organization stating the money would not be returned if she left the group, the court said the contract ran contrary to public order and accepted social customs.
It also said the contract contravened the freedom of thought guaranteed under the Constitution, as the contract may have prevented the woman from leaving the group.
Although the court ordered the group to return her money, her claim that the group used unjust canvassing measures such as the seminar was rejected, with the court saying it was socially acceptable.
According to the plaintiff's lawyer, around 10 civil suits demanding the Yamagishi affiliates return donations or pay compensation have been filed by former followers across the country. The Yamagishi Association now organizes 39 communities.
A Yamagishi spokesman declined comment on the ruling until they have fully examined it.

Additional Information
Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

A brief intro to the tourist attraction
Mandela Mountain Rock Sculptures consist of around over400 pictures with an area of about 18 square kilometers. According to the preliminary exploration of experts, it is thought that the northern minorities such as Qiang, Yuezhi, Xionglu, Huiqi, Dangxiang and Mongolia etc have taken part in the manufacture of the rock sculptures.
The images of these rock sculptures are mostly hunting, grazing, fighting, sacred Buddhists, sun, moon and stars, temple buildings, dancing competition and touring, etc. It was inferred, based on the data of color of rock sculptures and water temperature and position, that many years ago, Mandela Mountain was surrounded by lake water with flourishing water grass. At that time, many graving and hunting ethnics were breathing and living here, which left their traces to be captured. The mountain full of rock sculptures, the exquisite and vivid artistic design just reflects the history of these minorities and tribes.
The patterning and technique of the rock sculptures varies from one to another. There are chisel sculptures, grinding sculptures and line sculptures. The rock sculptures are simple and rough, which not only carves what is seen, but also what is thought about. It possesses the innocent and natural beauty that it achieves the artistic effect of being active in solemnity, and changeable in discipline. It vividly records the economic, cultural and living state, natural environment and social outlook of Alashan area in both ancient and modern times. The width of themes and abundance of content can be regarded as the northwestern art gallery in China. The discovery of Mandela Mountain Rock Sculptures presents very valuable for research on Chinese history of art, social development, races, grazing, culture and religion, especially for research on history of each normadic tribe in the northwest of China.

I went there to go on the canopy walk, but it was shut, which annoyed the hell out of me. When I got back to the hotel, Susie was still asleep.

"Well then little buddy, onward we go! What should I name you?" Grey asked. "Flyer?" The bird shook his head. "I like the name Celery. How's that for a nice name?" Grey asked again, and this time, the bird nodded yes. "It is settled then. Where to now? Seeing as we are now trapped on Route One by an angry professor and two angry men. Maybe enlisting someone's help would be nice?" He said, looking around. He then saw Leon, walking toward the next town. Grey walked up to him, and asked nerviously, "Hello my good sir, my two buddies and I are trapped on Route One by three angry people, and we would like to enlist your help. So, will you?" He hoped the guy would say yes, but he wouldn't be surprised if he said no, for there were many anti-Plasma people out here. He crossed his fingers, and waited for a response.
Perhaps so, but we've seen it happen with our very own eyes. The answer is out there, Luke - we just need to find it. -Professor Layton
