Ron Lindsay of CFI (a lawyer and legal scholar) has composed a brief, solid primer on why sexual harassment policies are necessary and how they actually work, in the context of CFI's new policy adopted for conferences and events. See CFI's New Policy on Hostile Conduct. It is illuminating because of his legal expertise and the fact that he dispels many of the false assumptions about what sexual harassment policies do. He also discusses the merits of different policy elements and why CFI accepts some and rejects others, a good example of what I have been talking about: see On Sexual Harassment on that point, and the whole backstory on why I'm talking about this and what I think about it. Here I want to collect my thoughts on how venues could and should improve any policies they now have or will adopt in future. If you agree, and see a policy that could be improved, feel free to refer the organization in question here.
Defining and Delimiting Harassment
It is well worth reading the policy CFI adopted, and its smart use of definitions, which I highly recommend other venues adopt. Most particularly:
In general, prohibited conduct includes any abusive conduct that has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with another person's ability to enjoy and participate in the conference, including social events related to the conference.
Well stated. And they adopt the ideal clarification all atheist and skeptical events should incorporate into their policies:
Critical examination of beliefs, including critical commentary on another person's views, does not, by itself, constitute hostile conduct or harassment.
I must pause to dispel another myth going around, which is that restaurants and pubs don't have harassment policies. Sorry, but they typically do. It would be naive about business liability insurance to think otherwise. The best businesses even go beyond what their carriers require: see Bars Adopt 'Zero Tolerance' for Sexual Harassment (ironic considering this is what some people have said smart businesses would never do–yet the most successful ones have done exactly that: openly promote their sexual harassment policies specifically to increase female clientele). Crommunist also wrote about this subject as an informed insider, having worked as a bouncer at several bars. Cristina Rad has also come out with her Case 2 on sexual harassment, including her stories about working in bar environments, and her observations and conclusions about it are very well worth reading.
Establishing Consent
Back to the topic of my present concern, Todd Stiefel (of the Stiefel Freethought Foundation) has produced an excellent example of how to debate the specifics of policy and recommend improvements (see: On Harassment and Policies). He makes three specific recommendations that I happen to agree with (more or less). Greta Christina makes a general observation of why this is exactly how people in the atheist movement should behave when debating these issues, and I concur with her general observations (see: Some Thoughts on Critiquing Codes of Conduct). This is in fact the difference between maturity and immaturity. This is what my point 4 looks like in action.
Stiefel's first concern was that offensive speech should not itself be defined as harassment, and he even recommends CFI's policy (as I do) for the solution to that concern. His second concern was that "unwelcome sexual attention" was too vague. Void for Vagueness is a real legal concern, which can nullify an actual law (see this legal brief at Justia.com), and since codes of conduct are in effect bylaws they can suffer the same problem. This is of particular concern to a business or organization when a policy must be appealed to in a liability case. You can lose all the protection you thought a policy was going to provide you. Lindsay, however, rejected Stiefel's concerns, and concludes that the phrase "unwelcome sexual attention" is not legally vague (it meets tests of objective fact: when an advance is openly declared unwanted, there is no ambiguity, and likewise when an advance exceeds all reasonable standards of common decency).
In his analysis, Lindsay essentially says that the phrase "unwelcome sexual attention" already encompasses what Stiefel would want spelled out (here quoting Stiefel's recommended language):
Unwanted sexual attention will be considered harassment when: a) it continues after being rejected; or, b) it includes threats, coercion or deliberate intimidation; or, c) it is directed towards a subordinate in a hierarchical organization (such as a manager towards an employee below them in an organization.); or, d) it is done by someone who knows or should reasonably know that the attention will be unwelcome.
Such excess verbiage is unnecessary because objective measures of violation have to be on record anyway for a policy to be actionable (and that means an advance has to have been turned down before repeated advances count as unwelcome, or an advance has to be so crude and impolite that a "reasonable person," i.e. a jury of one's peers, would deem it unwelcome, whether in a court of law or a policy enforcement committee). As Lindsay explains, defining sexual harassment as (in part) "unwelcome sexual attention" does not "prohibit flirting or a polite expression of interest in another person." For instance, he says, "the question, 'Would you be interested in having a drink later?' would not be considered harassment," whereas something far more crude, vulgar, and offensive would be, without any prior rejection required.
I agree with Lindsay on the technical facts here, but the problem is communicating to the public (the actual and would-be attendees of an organizational event) what is meant, and I do believe Stiefel is right that this needs to be spelled out more clearly for that purpose. This does not, however, require the lengthy and technical spelling-out that Stiefel recommends. It is sufficient to state something like, "all sexual attention that a recipient has stated is unwelcome, or that exceeds common standards of decency, is unwelcome."
Stiefel's third concern is with bans on "any touching without explicit permission," which runs afoul of standard cultural norms like shaking hands and even hugging, where nonverbal assent (or refusal) is normally what is expected and supplied (and of course, previous relationships can establish implicit permission, running afoul of the notion of requiring explicit permission). He is correct that a policy should not require verbal permission for any and all forms of touching.
For example, the first draft of the American Atheists Harassment Policy stated "No touching other people without asking" (it even specified that this applies to hugging; it has not yet been changed, but as their policy is a work in progress, this provision may be revised in future). Likewise the use of the word "explicit" can be perceived as mandating verbal permission. Such wording should not be used. The word "express" or "expressed" might be better (since that would more clearly include nonverbal expression). Or just prohibit "unwelcome touching." This requires anyone who wants to initiate a touch to discover whether a touch is welcome, and clear nonverbal assent (holding out a hand to be shaken, opening up your arms to receive a hug) and prior relationship (which will already have established what is welcome) would meet that standard. [M.A. Melby convinced me an even better way to communicate this responsibility is with wording like "No touching other people without first confirming they are okay with it," which is clear about whose responsibility it is to find out, while still allowing nonverbal communication to accomplish it.]
Sex with Event Speakers
Finally, Stiefel included among "unwelcome" advances those "directed towards a subordinate in a hierarchical organization," which perhaps indirectly criticizes some policies that aim to prohibit all intra-organizational sex. Such as, currently, the policy mandated within the Secular Student Alliance Speaker's Bureau, which says "speakers should not engage in sexual behavior with students with respect to Speakers Bureau events." On the one hand, in law and in standard bylaw practice, the term "should" does not have the force of "shall" (it means expected but not required, per the second definition of "shall" in Black's Law Dictionary, the court-established three-prong test for the discretionary meaning of "shall," or the 2000 IEEE instructional procedure standards, page 15), but it's entirely possible the drafters of the SSA policy didn't know that. And whether or not they did, some people have called for policies to prohibit all sexual activity between speakers and event staff and attendees.
I have already noted before that I believe this is overbearing and unrealistic. There is no relevant difference between a college venue sponsored by the SSA and one not, and college kids are not really kids, and the policy would make no sense if I were married to one, which gets us into "why is it okay if we're married and not if we're not?" That kind of distinction is for religious prudes, not freethinking humanists.
As Ron Lindsay aptly puts it:
CFI has no opposition to consensual sex among adults; indeed, this organization has long championed the right of individuals to engage in such conduct, and has protested restrictions on such conduct based on religious dogma. CFI's policy does not interfere with consensual sex. It's unwelcome sexual attention that is prohibited, not welcome sexual attention.
I personally have no problem abiding by the SSA policy when they are sponsoring me as a speaker (except when it makes no sense, e.g. if my wife became a student at a venue). But I don't think it's a good policy and I don't encourage it being adopted by other organizations. If I were ever keen to violate it (that is, if I were single and wanted to fool around), I'd just withdraw from the SSA Speaker's Bureau. But I have no reason to, since I'm married, making it a non-issue for me. But that can be unfair to single or polyamorous speakers, and thus the SSA policy is in my opinion discriminatory (it will result in the loss or turning away of speakers for unfair reasons). Unless their use of the word "should" is intended to mean not prohibited but only discouraged (but in that case it should perhaps be clarified).
Either way, I believe a better policy would be: "Speakers are not to solicit sexual behavior from students or staff." If necessary, "and any sexual behavior with students or staff is discouraged" could be added on. That covers what they actually want to prevent (harassment and horndogging, which is unprofessional) and minimize (romantic complications, and the attendant problems they can cause the organization), without prohibiting mutually consensual behavior among adults (which can certainly adhere to workplace etiquette), as that can then be initiated by a willing subordinate, without having been pressured or made uncomfortable by any advances from the speaker. The existence of power imbalances often calls for an etiquette of deferring decisions to a subordinate that require an exercise of their own free will. It does not require placing restraints on even a subordinate's free will. That is excessive and unwarranted.
In sum, as Dave Silverman of American Atheists aptly put it, "I want people to have sex at our conferences." Sexual harassment policies should not get in the way of that. And so AA and CFI have designed theirs not to. I believe everyone should follow their lead.

ZF-2289: Multiple Assertions
I think it would be interesting if it was possible to assign more than one assertion in the allow and deny methods (4th parameter). Or maybe a new method to add more assertions...
Of course you can implement a new Zend_Acl_Assert_Interface class calling multiple asserts, but it's boring.
I think that the proper solution is, as you suggested, to implement the assertion method... however you want, including assertion chains. This is actually quite trivial to do, and I don't see a compelling need to bloat the API with this. If you disagree, please feel free to reopen the issue with more feedback. Thank you! :)
OK, thanks.
I was implementing a new class (calling multiple asserts) for each combination of asserts in the application. Now, I realized it can be done by implementing a generic 'MultiAssert' class like this:
class MultiAssert implements Zend_Acl_Assert_Interface {
protected $_asserts;
public function __construct(array $asserts) {
foreach ($asserts as $assert) {
$this->_asserts[] = new $assert();
public function assert(Zend_Acl $acl, Zend_Acl_Role_Interface $role = null,
Zend_Acl_Resource_Interface $resource = null, $privilege = null) {
$result = TRUE;
foreach ($this->_asserts as $assert) {
$result &= $assert->assert($acl, $role, $resource, $privilege);
return $result ;

Fleet Foxes play Red Butte Garden Friday NightAnother summer weekend means another busy hectic slate of musical options. A huge gig at Pioneer Park on Thursday, followed by two nights of shows at Red Butte - one uber-hip, one not so much - but both are sell-outs. And it's Pioneer Day on Sunday, to boot. And you get your parade vibe on at various locales, but the big one's not until Monday. Tons to do, let's look at the highlights:
Tonight, it's arguably one of the most anticipated gigs of the entire Twilight Concert Series: The Decemberists. Virtually every one you talk to expects 40,000 people to show up. And I just hope it's not anymore than that. If you go, go early and look out for you and yours. Public safety concerns aside, people will actually be at this concert for the music - unlike last week's gig - as well as to walk around, and upload photos of themselves drinking beer in the sunshine to their Facebook page.
In case you don't know what the fuss is about, The Decemberists are one of the bigger indie-rock bands out there. The Portland, Ore., group is rootsy, very acerbic, and quite good. Assuming the crowds stay under control, this should be a great night. Music starts at 7 p.m., with Typhoon. Here are The Decemberists from an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's show earlier this year:
On Friday night, one of the other biggest indie-rock bands around, Fleet Foxes play a sold-out show at Red Butte Garden. Lots of people are more excited about this gig than any other at RBG this summer. I wouldn't go quite that far, but I do love the Fleets and I'm sure this will be a big time. Here is their video for "Grown Ocean" from their latest album, "Helplessness Blues."
Also Friday and Saturday, over at The Garage on Beck Street is old-school soul rocker Andre Williams. These gigs will be a treat. A living legend of the low-key variety, reports indicate his show at the Urban Lounge last August was a blast. Tickets are available at Stoneground for $12.
Fans of well-done, country-rock are in for a treat this weekend as singer-songwriters Dave Alvin and James McMurtry join forces for what should be an epic double bill at The State Room. Between the two of them, they've got more tales of heartache and bittersweet melodies than any other concert bill you'll see all year. Tickets for Saturday are gone, but there are tickets still available for Sunday.
The Steve Miller Band will be playing their radio staples from the 1970s up at Red Butte. Too bad this show wasn't on Father's Day, this is a dad-rock classic. And truth be told, were I to go, I'd be up there singing "Jet Airliner," just like everyone else. This concert is sold out.
Also Sunday night, Matisyahu plays his hip-hop reggae jams over at The Complex. Tickets start at $20 and remain on sale.

Gardening Articles: Care :: Plant Care Techniques
Breeding Your Own Squash (page 2 of 6)
by Carol Deppe
Family relations: squashes and pumpkins
C. pepo, a delicata type
Squashes, pumpkins, and vegetable marrows belong to one of four species of Cucurbita:
C. pepo includes most of the summer squashes, nearly all the acorn and delicata types of winter squash, and many classic pumpkins, such as 'Small Sugar';
C. maxima includes many of the finest long-storing winter squashes, such as 'Sweet Meat', 'Green Hokkaido', and 'Red Kuri' (three of my favorites), all the Hubbards and banana types, and most of the giant pumpkins;
C. moschata includes 'Tahitian Melon Squash', 'White Rind Sugar', and all the butternut types; and
C. mixta (sometimes called C. argyrosperma) includes 'Campeche', 'White Cushaw', 'Silver Seed', and others.
Incidentally, there's little rhyme or reason why a cucurbit variety is called a squash, a pumpkin, or a vegetable marrow. For example, you can legitimately call any squash a pumpkin, and vice versa. When looking for a specific variety in a seed catalog, however, look under both squash and pumpkin.
Squashes and pumpkins are monoecious, meaning each plant has separate male and female flowers. The plants are primarily pollinated by various kinds of bees. Different species do not cross spontaneously, with the possible exception of C. moschata and C. mixta. So if you grow only one variety of C. pepo, one of C. maxima, and one of C. moschata, and you have no squash-growing neighbors closer than about 1/2 mile, you can save your own seed without having to do hand pollination. Very few of us live more than 1/2 mile from gardening neighbors, however. And as we learn seed saving, we want to grow more varieties, not fewer, because so many more possibilities exist; so for most of us, seed saving requires learning to pollinate by hand.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Junior Carter Craft won the 1-meter title and senior Samantha Pickens earned the title in the 3-meter to lead the Wildcats to a clean sweep on day one of the Wildcat Diving Invitational at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center on Friday.
Craft took the top spot out of 15 divers in the competition. He was fifth after prelims with 288.45 points but he improved by a wide margin in the final as he recorded 329.65 points to win by almost eight points. It was Craft's first career diving title. He earned a solid third-place finish in last year's 1m event at the Wildcat Invite.
Collin Pollard of USC finished second (321.95) and Arizona's Rafael Quintero came in third (315.95). Quintero actually held the top spot following prelims. Meanwhile, Dominic Ricotta was the third member of the Wildcats to advance to the finals as he finished in fifth with 284.80 points.
Meanwhile, Pickens continued to add to her resume as she took the title in the 3-meter event with a score of 347.80. She finished more than 20 points ahead of En-Tien Huang of Nevada. Pickens led from start to finish as she was well ahead following prelims, beating out 42 other divers in the event.
Pickens was the only Wildcat to advance to the finals but three others earned spots in the consolation finals. Michal Bower, Sally Hackett and Izzy Diamond went 5-6-7 in the consolation final. Bower finished with 267.70 followed by Hackett's 263.35 and Diamond's 220.55.
The event will continue at noon tomorrow with the men's 3-meter and the women's 1-meter events. In addition, the Arizona women's swim team will be in action against Boise State. Admission is free for the entire weekend.

Windows Movie Maker is a feature of Windows Vista that enables you to create home movies and slide shows on your computer, complete with professional-looking titles, transitions, effects, music, and even narration. And when you're ready, you can use Windows Movie Maker to publish your movie and share it with your friends and family.
If you're new to digital video editing or just new to Windows Movie Maker, keep reading for an introduction to the different tools you'll use in Windows Movie Maker and for links to help you learn more.
Windows Movie Maker is divided into three main areas: the panes, the storyboard/timeline, and the preview monitor.
Windows Movie Maker provides several different panes that you can work in, depending on which tasks you want to complete.
The Tasks pane lists the common tasks that you may need to perform when making a movie, including importing files, editing, and publishing your movie.
The Collections pane displays your collection folders, which contain clips. The collection folders appear in the Collections pane on the left, and the clips in the selected collection folder are displayed in the Contents pane on the right. The following picture shows the Collections pane:
The Contents pane shows clips, effects, or transitions you're working with while you create your movie, depending on the view you're working with. You can change the view to show thumbnails or details.
You can drag clips, transitions, or effects from the Contents pane or a collection from the Collections pane to the storyboard/timeline for your current project. You can also drag clips to the preview monitor to play them. If you make changes to a clip, those changes are only reflected in the current project; they do not affect the source file.
The area where you create and edit your project is displayed in two views, the storyboard and the timeline. You can switch between these two views when making a movie.
Storyboard. The storyboard is the default view in Windows Movie Maker. You can use the storyboard to look at the sequence or ordering of the clips in your project and easily rearrange them, if necessary. This view also lets you see any video effects or video transitions that have been added. Audio clips that you have added to a project are not displayed on the storyboard, but you can see them in the timeline view. The following picture shows the storyboard view in Windows Movie Maker:
Timeline. The timeline view provides a more detailed view of your movie project and allows you to make finer edits. Using the timeline view you can trim video clips, adjust the duration of transitions between clips, and view the audio track. You can use the timeline to review or modify the timing of clips in your project. Use the timeline buttons to switch to storyboard view, zoom in or out on details of your project, narrate the timeline, or adjust the audio levels. The following picture shows the timeline view in Windows Movie Maker:
The preview monitor enables you to view individual clips or an entire project. By using the preview monitor, you can preview your project before publishing it as a movie.
You can use the buttons underneath the preview monitor to play or pause a clip, or to advance or rewind a clip frame-by-frame. The Split button allows you to split a clip into two parts at the point displayed in the preview monitor.
You can make the preview monitor larger or smaller by clicking View, pointing to Preview Monitor Size, and choosing a size. You can also drag the window to make it larger or smaller.
Here are some links to topics that go into detail about the things you can do in Windows Movie Maker:
Import new video from a videotape in your digital video (DV) camera
Import existing video files, pictures, and audio
Trim, rearrange, and copy imported audio and video clips
Add transitions and effects to a project
Add movie titles and credits to a project
Publish your movie to share in different ways

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – October 29, 2008: This November, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ANNEX NYC will open its doors for the first time. The highly anticipated ANNEX will take visitors beyond the typical museum experience in a dynamic and immersive journey that recalls some of the most defining moments in rock and roll history. When the ANNEX opens on November 24th, visitors will journey through multiple galleries to discover the moments ignited by hundreds of music revolutionaries like John Lennon, Madonna, Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan. Additionally, The ANNEX will open its first special exhibit in true punk rock style, honoring the Clash. The Clash exhibit, which debuted at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, OH in 2006 will now appear at the ANNEX for a limited run.
Advance tickets for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ANNEX NYC go on sale today, exclusively at http://www.rockannex.com or 866-9-ROCKNY (866.963.2569). The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ANNEX NYC, located at 76 Mercer Street, is set to open on November 24, 2008. Exhibits are subject to capacity and advance ticket purchase is essential to ensure access for a desired time and date.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ANNEX NYC will be an experiential, technologically advanced exhibition that focuses on the greatest moments in rock history and will resonate with everyone from the casual music fan to the seasoned rock enthusiast. The ANNEX will also showcase selected items from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's vast collection, including Bruce Springsteen's 1957 Chevy, John Lennon's Record Plant Piano, Elvis Presley's motorcycle jacket, a handwritten poem by Jim Morrison and much more. The exhibits, including the Roots & Influences, Moments to Movements and New York Rocks rooms, will highlight rock and roll's impact on music, allowing visitors to discover, or rediscover, their connection to it all.
As the first of its rotating featured exhibits, The ANNEX will open its doors with an exhibit dedicated to the Clash, entitled Revolution Rock: The Story of the Clash. This exhibit will allow visitors to get an in-depth look into how the band's politicized lyrics, musical experimentation, and rebellious attitude have helped shape rock history. As rebels with a cause, The Clash took the manic anger of British punk and transformed it into a political and aesthetic agenda. Album after album, as they railed against the status quo of corporate rock and safe middle-class values, The Clash was a burning reminder of why punk mattered.
Today the band is regarded as one of the most explosive bands to come out of the fertile late-1970's London scene. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003 by Tom Morello and U2's The Edge, the Clash is one of the most influential bands of its time. The exhibit will examine the music and lives of the band with artifacts including well-known instruments, stage clothing, rare posters, set-lists and original manuscripts. Highlights include Joe Strummer's Fender Telecaster and Mick Jones' Gibson Les Paul Jr. guitars and handwritten lyrics for "London Calling," "Know Your Rights" and "Clampdown."
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ANNEX NYC is proudly supported by official sponsors Citi, Best Buy, Diesel for Bloomingdale's, and Gibson. Additional supporting partners include Sony, Sennheiser, Klein + Hummel, Brocade Home, Kohler and NYC & Company.
About the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Cleveland: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is the nonprofit organization that exists to educate visitors, fans and scholars from around the world about the history and continuing significance of rock and roll music.

Full SubmissionTHE UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (UNCSD) 2012 INPUTS OF TAKINGITGLOBAL Population dynamics, education and sustainable development are linked. It is important to reaffirm role of sexual and reproductive health and rights, gender equality, poverty, transportation and food systems while achieving sustainable development. This means ensuring that policies and programmes that aim to achieve sustainable development should also promote the human rights of all people to the highest attainable standard of sexual and reproductive health and wellbeing, particularly for women, young people and those living in poverty. Young people are the present and the future. There are over 1.8 billion people aged 10-24 years in the world today, the majority of whom live in developing countries. In most developing countries, this generation of young people comprises more than a third of their country��s population. In 67 developing countries, young people aged 10-24 constitute more than 40% of the adult population above 10 years of age. Young people are the most significant demographic group today and will remain so for the coming decades. Policies should take into account the drivers of population Growth. As the world reaches 7 billion, it is projected to grow to 9.3 billion by 2050. In the context of a green economy, there is an urgent need for countries to incorporate policies and programmes that take these dynamics into account and effectively respond to the shifting sources of population Growth, especially through access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services and contraceptives. Access to sexual and reproductive health and rights addresses high fertility and sustainability. Globally, an estimated 215 million women want to use family planning methods and services, but do not have access to them. Universal access to sexual and reproductive health including family planning should be one the key interventions needed to achieve sustainable, low-carbon development. If governments and other donors fund sexual and reproductive health services and supplies, we can advance environmental sustainability while also promoting social justice, development and human rights. Gender equality and access to health will slow down population momentum. Putting in place approaches to increase the age at marriage and enhancing adolescents�� sexual and reproductive health, educational levels, and income-generating potential can have significant effects on population Growth rates. Where girls are able stay in school until secondary school and are empowered to decide on matters related to their sexuality and reproduction, there is a significant observed effect in delaying child birth and increasing spacing. HIV prevention amongst young people ensures a sustainable workforce. Governments must recognize that the response to HIV is both a human rights issue and also an economic necessity crucial to eradicating poverty. Access to sexual and reproductive health services promotes adaptation. Young women's health and well-being, their ability to choose if or when to have children and their risk or early pregnancy is affected by their lack of access to safe and stigma free sexual and reproductive health services, contraception and comprehensive sexuality education. Such access helps build resistance among individuals and communities and should be incorporated as a part of policies to promote sustainable development and adaptation strategies for climate change. RECOMMENDATIONS: In the context of the Green Economy, member states should: - Recognize that sustainable development entails empowering young people, particularly the most marginalized, by investing in their education, health including sustainability, sexual and reproductive health, employment and leadership. - Prioritize their full and effective implementation of these commitments through multi-sectoral programmes that link social justice, access to health, gender equality and low carbon living with environmental sustainability. - Effectively educate and communicate the social and environmental costs unsustainable lifestyles with an emphasis on food, meat consumption, food distribution costs and sustainable transportation. - Take into account population dynamics in policies and expand rights-based programmes that effectively respond to the shifting sources of population Growth through promotion of sexual and reproductive health and rights. - Commit to achieve a society built upon gender equality which develops the capacities and empowerment of young people, particularly young women. Young women should be prioritized in the production and marketing of green technologies in the transition to a green economy, and there should be a focus on addressing the gendered impacts of climate change as a part of strategies to promote adaptation. - Support gender-sensitive, age-appropriate, life-skills-based comprehensive sexuality education for young people both in and out of school based on international standards as a way to empower young people, promote gender equality, human rights, prevent HIV and increase use of sexual and reproductive health services. - Expand and support young people��s choices and opportunities by ensuring and investing in access to youth friendly sexual and reproductive health services including family planning, particularly for marginalized adolescent girls and young women, those living with disabilities and in humanitarian situations. - Reaffirm the goal of universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support, in line with the Declaration of Commitment on HIV (2001) and the Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS (2006). - Embrace the vision of Zero New Infections, Zero AIDS Related Death and Zero Discrimination and support efforts to achieve the three Bold Results on HIV and Young People under the UNAIDS Strategy 2011-2015, namely, (1) Raising comprehensive knowledge to 80%, (2) Doubling condom use amongst young people and (3) Doubling HIV testing among young people - in order to reduce new HIV infections among young people by 30% by 2015. - Support integrated approaches to sustainable development that build on people��s expressed needs, and strengthen community-based strategies, including through the meaningful participation of young people. In the context of the Institutional Framework, member states should: - Ensure the meaningful participation of young people in decision making processes, by putting in place enabling structures and supportive policies and through building the capacities of youth-led organizations. - National development plans, poverty reduction strategies, sustainable development strategies, policies and programmes should be planned, implemented, monitored and evaluated in equal partnership with young people through a participatory approach. - Renew a global focus upon resource management, and lifecycle accounting for products, supervised by an international body dependent on the United Nations, supported by an international fund and a sharing of knowledge. Establish a comprehensive international information and labeling systems to measure the hidden costs of global consumer products. - Implement tax structures and incentives to promote sustainable behaviors and increase the costs of unsustainable living. Remove subsidies for extraction of fossil fuels, and instead economically promote global access renewable energy while investing and upgrading resource management and water treatment facilities. Increase protection to small farmer against the strong competition of bigger corporations. - Young people and youth-led organizations should be empowered to hold their governments accountable for their commitments including through full transparency initiatives including monitoring budgets and participation in appropriate institutional mechanisms.

Can anyone recommend a cheep but good 12ga shotgun that would be good for keeping in a barn? I'm thinking used but what models to look for? I should have picked up one of those C&R Norinco's a few years ago.
Find a cheap used rusty NEF or H&R single shot. Unless you oil it up real well and store it inside a waterproof bag, any repeater is gonna rust up and jam pretty quick. Especially if left in the open, every critter that can get above it will smell you on it and pee all over it. At least the H&R will be cheap to replace.
The Chinese H&R 870 clones can be had for around $165 new. Degrease it real good and hit it with a couple of THIN coats of BBQ grill paint for corrosion protection and oil it up with lots of CLP.
Or as the Kernel said above a H&R break open can be found for cheap and you wouldn't be out much if it got screwed up too bad.
Thanks, this will get me started any others please post. I'm of to contact Joe Biden to see what his expert advice is!!! LOL
I have a junker 12ga single shot. Eastern arms or something like that, it was given to me by someone 20-25 years ago. Keep it off the concrete and try to remember to oil it every year or so. Birchwood casey sheath is good if they still make it, otherwise spraypaint isn't a bad option. I wouldn't put anything out in the barn you'd get upset about rusting or disappearing.
All of my out buildings have at least one gun and I found a piece of PVC pipe with a screw off end cap (I use Vaseline as a sealer on the threads),and a glue on cap on the other end and some pipe hangers to hang it from the wall studs seems to work out very well for me. I just keep one of the plastic "anti rust" storage type bags in it too, and keep the gun oiled up well, and you'll have no issues at all. I've got a beat up Mossberg 500 that has been kept that way in my garage for years,, 0 rust or dust.
As a matter of fact when you asked about storing options RodM1,, it dawned on me that I hadn't checked it in a couple years,, so I took a look and all was fine with it, just like when I put it in there. I also keep one of the De-humidifyer bags or a hand warmer in there too to pull out any excess moisture. It's cheap, simple and it works very well. PVC pipe is your storage friend for lots of stuff. I keep long term storage/ dehydrated Mt House type foods in them too, there a good way to go and way cheaper than some of the storage tubes you can buy.
If you have access to them, the storage tubes for arty shells, mortar's, and rockets, work well too, but the last ones I saw were quite expensive compared to PVC, and unless you live close to a base, not so easy to find cheap.
I've seen older pump shotguns at gunshows for $75. Look for one that doesn't look shot as much but may look rough. Clean it up good and rig or cosmoline the bare metal. Hit the wood with something too. Keep a rubber over the barrel and action closed. My bedroom shotgun is an old crusty wards westren field/stevens that I rescued from the clutches of bubba by facing off a bad saw job and putting a bead back on it. It has 20" of barrel but before bubba it probably had a 30"er or so.
'Barn kept'... why not get a storage bag or some 4" PVC tubing and just put it away in a corner? Then you're all set. Just oil it up good and maybe add some desiccant bags from shoe boxes.
:lolup: I think I'd heard that some where's before hcpookie, :lol::lol:
Hey,,, I got to abuse ya when I get the chance ya know!!! :loopeye:
What has been said so far is about the best advice.
The only thing I can add is if you want it so you can get to it quickly, is just put it in a plastic bag that you can easily rip open.

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by bluehair99 Versatile Lightweight Napkin The color is very versatile: can be used for winter and summer table settings. The weight is light, and edges are finished cleanly. The value is great on this set compared with other napkins. December 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Austin Love the color! These napkins are great for the price. After washing you have to iron them but they iron easy. Mine are square, well as good as it gets with cloth napkins square. I am ordering a few more sets of them. Love the color and the fabric. Not to mention the price is great. August 11, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by exsatisfiedcustomer Quality has declined over the years I am a long time shopper at World Market including several pieces of furniture as well as these napkins. Years ago their buffet napkins were the best. Long lasting and properly cut. About three years ago we bought 3 dozen more and after the first wash, it was obvious that they were improperly cut from the fabric. No way could you fold them properly as they took a diamond shape vs. a square shape. In need of more recently, we purchased another 3 dozen. Same problem. They look great folded on display in the store, but they are improperly cut from the fabric (or the fabric is improperly woven). We gave them a second chance, but we will look to find another provider for quality napkins next time. June 28, 2013

Softball Opens Weekend in Baltimore With Split
The Princeton softball team lost to Seton Hall 4-3 and defeated Coppin State 6-3 Saturday in Baltimore, beginning the team's weekend at the UMBC-Coppin State co-hosted tournament.
The Tigers (4-3) will face Mount St. Mary's at 8:30 a.m. Sunday and UMBC at 1 p.m. Sunday to close the weekend.
Against Seton Hall (8-6), Princeton pulled ahead 2-0 on a two-run double by Alyssa Schmidt in the first and went ahead 3-0 on a Candy Button RBI-double, but Seton Hall drew even on a three-run home run by Alex Rabbetts in the bottom of the fifth. The Pirates added what became the winning run in the bottom of the sixth when Yasmin Harrell, who was 3 for 3, picked up Jackie DiPetro with a single.
Shanna Christian took the loss for Princeton, striking out six and giving up the four runs on eight hits and two walks in 5 1/3 innings. Liza Kuhn closed it out for Princeton, giving up one hit in her two-thirds of an inning of work.
Danielle DeStaso went the distance for Seton Hall, giving up just four Princeton hits and walking three, striking out six.
Against Coppin State (5-3), Princeton pounded out 12 hits led by a 3-for-4 game from Sarah McGowan. Princeton was up 5-2 after three innings, with Schmidt and Tory Roberts getting RBIs in over the first two frames before Kayla Bose hit a 3-run home run in the third. Candy Button's sacrifice fly in the sixth accounted for the final Princeton run.
Alex Peyton pitched the full seven for Princeton, getting the win on three hits, a walk and only one earned run. Alyssa Barker took the loss for Coppin State.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 21 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pat12 Great Table I was able to pick up the table in the store and it was on sale. I brought it right after chirstmas for my conference room in the office space I was moving into in a coule months. The table is very heavy and sturdy. There was one screw missing, it was for the middle leg. We made a run to the hardware store, not too big of a deal. I have both leaves in now and it is a beautiful conference table. July 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nickel35 Beautiful and distinct This table is heavy!! I was looking for a table that could extend when I needed extra room and was more of a rustic look. I was going to make my own table, just as trying how to make it extendable easily and cost effective then I saw this table. Its beautiful and has all the rustic charm I wanted without my time to build. And the cost was just a little more than I could build a table from scratch. I love this table. April 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by kat528 Wow. This thing is solid. And big! I bought the extension table so it could "grow" with me and my family. It's awesome. The table is solid—you will need some muscles (or a few men) to get it together and put it in place. It's big. I wanted big, so I'm happy and it meets my expectations. But, if you're short on space, be sure you measure your area and figure in the dimensions from the web. It's a cute, square table with no leaf. As referenced above with weight, this thing is legit. I love how World Market sells REAL furniture. January 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by odin perfect table Amazing table. Arrived yesterday, so easy to put together, so sturdy, i love this table. Perfect for our family. January 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by virginia05 Comfortable We wanted a table that had capacity for 6 chairs (comfortably). This table is sturdy and comfortable. We were able to put it together right before Christmas and received many compliments. December 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DKS1996 Beautiful Table! We just purchased this table for our dining room and we couldn't be happier. It is beautiful, stylish and well built for the money. November 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jm8081 In love with it Awesome table!!!! I originally didn't think I would fully extend it, but I ended up using all extensions and it is sturdy and gorgeous. I paired it with 6 of the Lydia chairs (in Atlantic) and I'm considering buying 2 more chairs for it. I have gotten compliments on it from everyone who has come over to visit. I couldn't be happier! For the price, the quality can't be beat. Seriously. March 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jofabo Love the finish love it! Can have a small table for my husband and me but can fully extend when company comes March 1, 2014

If you think prenups are only for older, affluent and/or celebrity couples, think again. Prenups are becoming increasingly common –especially now that many people enter marriage at a later age with significant assets, such as cars, 401Ks, real estate, etc. Long considered stuffy, stodgy and decidedly unromantic, the prenup is beginning to win favor as a reasonable, practical and smart sign of trust between a woman and her fiancé.
So before you dismiss the possibility, let's review the basics to help you decide if a prenup is right for you.
A prenup can help protect your property rights and financial interests.
A prenup (short for "prenuptial agreement") is a contract signed by both parties before their wedding. By using a prenup, both the husband-to-be and the wife-to-be can decide certain financial issues in advance. For example, a prenup can specify:
- what property will be considered separate property,
- what property will be considered marital property,
- how any marital property should be divided,
- particulars about estate planning and inheritances, and even
- how much alimony will be paid and for how long if there's a break-up down the road.
In short, the prenup details what the couple's property rights and expectations would be upon divorce. If done correctly, a prenup can be an excellent way to supersede your state's marital laws; however, in order for it to be "done correctly," both the husband-to-be and the wife-to-be must be represented by their own separate attorney. In addition, the agreement:
- must be in writing.
- must provide full disclosure (no hiding of assets and/or liabilities).
- must be executed voluntarily and without coercion.
- must be executed by both parties, preferably in front of witnesses.
- cannot be unconscionable, meaning that it cannot be completely lopsided giving one party so much more than the other.
- should be in a recordable format.
And of course, just to reiterate, the prenup must be executed before the wedding!
Many women find even the idea of a prenup awkward and unromantic. That's unfortunate. In reality, a prenup underscores a couple's mature level of commitment and trust. Since the agreement requires full disclosure about personal assets and candid discussions about potential financial concerns, a prenup can actually serve to bring a couple closer together. With a prenup in place, the marriage can begin on a firm foundation with clear and consensual expectations.
You may want to seriously consider a prenup if you:
- Have considerable assets such as a home, real estate investments, stock (including stock options) or retirement funds that make you (or have the potential to make you) much wealthier than your fiancé
- Own all or part of a business or professional practice
- Have children and/or grandchildren
- Have loved ones, such as elderly parents, who need care
- Are expecting an inheritance
- Have (or are pursuing) a degree or license in a potentially lucrative profession
Of course, a prenup is not the only way a bride-to-be can protect her property rights and financial interests before the wedding. For instance, you can establish a Domestic or Foreign Asset Protection Trustor pursue other options that do not require your fiancé's approval.
In fact, if you're a business owner looking to protect your business interests before you get married, aDomestic or Foreign Asset Protection Trust can be particularly useful. A financial vehicle like this transfers the ownership of your separate property (including your company) into the trust, and it can work for most entities — C Corporations, Limited Liability Companies, Limited Partnerships–but not necessarily for an S Corporation. Only certain types of trusts can own S Corporation stock, so this is something that you would need to discuss with a trust attorney who is experienced with asset protection trusts.
How these types of trusts work is somewhat complicated, but the bottom line is that by creating the right type of trust, you can make the entire issue of separate vs. marital property irrelevant. That's because, the trust, rather than you, would legally own your separate property, including your company.
A postnup is a contract established while you're married.
If you're already married and missed out on the opportunity to establish a prenup before your wedding, or your financial situation has dramatically changed , or you feel there's reason to modify a prenup already in place, you may want to consider creating a postnup. Similar to a prenup, a postnup (short for "postnuptial agreement") is a contract between husband and wife, but it is entered into and signed after the wedding.
There are many reasons why you may want to protect your assets with a postnup. Maybe you're establishing a new business in your name or working to patent an invention? Perhaps you're writing the next best-selling book or you agreed to quit your job to take care of the kids? If there's any chance your financial situation may change (for better or worse), you may want to establish your property rights and the expectations surrounding any shift in finances.
Remember: When celebrities divorce, one of the biggest points of contention is typically intellectual property rights. These rights cover property such as patents, trademarks, copyrights and royalties and other contractual rights, and depending on the individual circumstances, they can be worth thousands, if not millions, of dollars.
What's more, any intellectual property rights obtained during a marriage may be considered marital property –and that means they may be divided during divorce. Although the specific rules vary from state to state, the general rule of thumb governing intellectual and other property is this: Value that's created during the marriage must be divided.
Despite all the potential benefits, postnups come with possible pitfalls, as well. For instance, anumber of states don't recognize postnuptial agreements, and even in the states that do, they are frequently challenged and often invalidated. Still, if you're a married woman involved in a business endeavor or career that makes you (or has the potential to make you) much wealthier than your husband, my advice is simple: I believe having a postnup in place is usually better than having nothing at all.
To be truly effective, any protective methods I discussed above should be in place long before divorce is a possibility. Obviously, something like a prenuptial agreement needs to be signed before you are married, but even techniques such as transfers to an irrevocable trust need to be done years in advance. Depending on your state's fraudulent transfer laws, transactions can be voided up to seven years after the transfer!
So, please, be proactive. Learn to Think Financially, Not Emotionally® and establish a sound strategy, one that will provide you with financial security and peace-of-mind both during your marriage and afterward, if you divorce.

phraise for the Antica Trattoria "da Bruno"
Why "old trattoria"?
It's simple: because the trattoria has always been there .
Situated just by the city walls, it used to be the inn where travellers arriving from Lucca or from the surrounding countryside would break their journey to dine. A hostelry that was a habitual stopping place for peasants, merchants, costermongers and carters on their way into town to ply their trade.
Old Bruno was a welcoming presence whose expertise guaranteed wayfarers a wholesome hot meal, as befitted the rustic appetite of the people of Pisa over half a century ago.
In 1969 Piero Cei took over the establishment, but he had the brilliant intuition that its time-honored tradition should not be destroyed. On the contrary, he resolved to enrich its characteristics, ensuring that his menus would be even more firmly rooted in the traditions handed down from generation to generation. Local specialities such as tripe, hearty soup Pisan style, salt cod with leeks and stockfish were not abandoned but enhanced and rediscovered. His cuisine was designed to feature all the flavours of former times that only the white-haired citizens of Pisa could remember and appreciate. A humble cuisine made of simple homespun fare, but tasting so wonderful it can amaze even the most demanding palate.
The Old Trattoria "At Brunos" is today one of the most sought-after destinations for gourmets and connoisseurs of fine food, for whom Piero Cei is a quite exceptional host. Why not come and meet Piero Cei, and ask him about his special wizardry: whats his secret?. "No secret", he says. "Ive just tried to maintain and enrich the tradition of Pisan cuisine. A cuisine thats appreciated world-wide. Whats unique in our restaurant is that we pride ourselves on always offering the right dish for the right season, from mushrooms to fish".
Of course we place great emphasis on traditional local delights such as hearty soup Pisan style, stockfish, salt cod, but our gastronomic range is fully international and capable of satisfying all palates". Piero Cei does not wish to appear boastful. He doesnt say that those who try his hearty Pisan soup or his salt cod often come back to Pisa for the specific purpose of savoring once again that magnificent taste they cant find anywhere else. And judging by the photos of people whove had themselves immortalised by the camera At Brunos, the number of "relapses" is far from small..

Cross dock fuels growth at Dots
VIEW THE SLIDE SHOW and see how the combination of cross-docking and flow-through distribution fuels growth at the Ohio-based fashion retailer Dots
February 24, 2011 - LM Editorial
Since the late 1980s, Dots has been distributing merchandise to its stores from a manual, more conventional facility, three miles from its current location.
Although this older facility afforded the retailer many functional years, by 2005, much of the equipment was nearing the end of its life, putting limitations on operational growth and efficiency. In fact, it took this previous DC three to four days to get a store order out the door.
Vendors communicated via faxes and e-mails, and there was no receiving sorter. All carton-labeling from receiving to shipping was manually applied.
When you boil it down, the company actually had been manually cross docking for years—just nowhere near as fast and as efficient as they're doing it now in the new DC. "Our previous system had no EDI and limited, outdated automation that restricted our throughput speed and capacity," recalls Akey. "There was a lot of double and triple handling just to get orders out the door."
With only one cross dock-capable door, many cross-dock orders would be unloaded, then staged, then put in a queue before actually getting processed—a clear departure from cross docking's "expedite immediately" philosophy.
To distribute bulk apparel to the individual stores, Dots was using a 10-year-old put-to-light system that they had simply outgrown. "To support the volume demand, we had to go to extended shifts and work a lot of overtime," notes Akey.
The clock was also ticking because the put-to-light system's capacity was limited to 500 stores. In 2005, they were already sitting at 350 stores and growing at a rate of 40 new stores per year. "These outdated systems and their inability to support future store growth is what ultimately pushed us to move forward with the process of designing a new distribution system," says Akey.
Cross docking in the year 2011
|Steve Haskell, VP,
SDI Industries, Inc.
Q: What technological developments have enabled the adoption of cross docking today?
A: "The mechanics for automated cross docking have always been there. It's just become faster and cheaper. The technological development is more on the IT side than on the mechanical side. Information capabilities are so amazing now that you can communicate with suppliers easily, quickly, and commonly and that allows you to be able to tell them exactly what you want and when you want it."
Q: What is the key to successful cross docking?
A: "You have to have good relationships with your trading partners. First, you have to be able to tell them how to pack what you want. Second, the partner has to be able to document what they've done and get it to you, so that when you see the product at the door you know what to do with it."

Howdy folks!
Thanks for all the great feedback I am getting on the Thundering Blurb show! We'll be there every week until season's end – and possibly beyond!
Let's get to the news –
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
It appears that Jeff Garcia's injury does NOT appear serious. Still, it got the mind racing – and maybe will kick something forward if they start to worry about Garcia's durability. The snag I didn't touch on earlier? Maybe favre doesn't want to play there. That's always a problem as the bucs are aware*coughJakePlummercough*.
Green Bay Packers
Favre has chartered a plane to Green Bay. I expect he will be at the practice facility tomorrow. I expect NFL Total Access to have nothing but conjecture about it. I expect to enjoy it all…. In Non-Favre news (yes the Packers have that) and lost in the Favre debacle is the hold-out of Ryan Grant. Well, Grant may want to get into camp as reports are that his back-up – second year man Brandon Jackson – is doing very, very well in camp. So well, in fact, that the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel is saying they will probably split carries when Grant ends his hold-out. Now I don't know about THAT but RB pairing has become more common so it's not impossible. But the real message here might be that the Packers might find themselves having leverage in this situation, unlike the Favre one. If Jackson is doing well, Grant – while not replaceable – certainly can find himself in less of a sure position and more likely to settle for less, or even status quo, in terms of his contract money.
Houston Texans
I love the Texans and I can't tell you why. They intrigue me. And they signed a guy who has also caught my attention in the past – former Denver RB Mike Bell. The Denver-to-Houston pipeline set up by Mike Kubiak continues. With Chris Brown already banged up, Ahman Green not looking phenomenal in camp and the rest of the running backs not locking the job up, Bell could have a shot at a starting job. Or at worst, lock up the short yardage back role.
New York Jets
As of this morning, we finally have a positive Kellen Clemens report where he actually out-performed Pennington and threw no INTs. That's big for his backers, as Clemens has thrown some ugly picks the first practices. A lot of the picks it seems (reading Erik Boland's excellent blog at Newsday.com and Rich Cimini's good work at the Daily News) have come in the 2minute drill practices and that's not good. But Clemens looked good today. All along, people have said it's not that Pennington looked better bu that Clemens looked worse. Looks like Clemens finally played to his potential. Can he keep it up?
Apparently the hit of the day according to both bloggers was during a non-contact drill (isn't it always?). Safety Kerry Rhodes absolutely decimated WR Chansi Stuckey as Stuckey went across the middle. Just laid him on his tail. During a practice where Mangini was angry because many people were lagging, Rhodes sent the message that he was here to play and everyone had better keep up.
Cimini said it and I'll echo it – the Jets need more guys liek that if they want to top their pathetic win total for last season.
That's all for now – more later — and don't forget – The Drive Block goes live at 10pm EST/ 7pm PST! Catch me, Cecil and Sigmund Bloom as we give you the latest on the events of the day!

County commissioners to say goodbye to outgoing member Dunn
Published: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 1:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 1:24 p.m.
The Davidson County Board of Commissioners will recognize outgoing commissioner Cathy Dunn during their meeting Tuesday night.
Dunn, a Republican, announced in February that she would not seek re-election this year to devote more time to her business, Biscuit King. She served one term on the board and was the leading vote-getter among the three Republicans who won seats in the 2008 election.
The board will also accept a StormReady Community Award from the National Weather Service for efforts related to severe weather, schedule a public hearing on the Community Transportation Program for fiscal year 2014, which is required by the North Carolina Department of Transportation, and cancel a contract to rebuild the tennis courts at Optimist Park in Thomasville due to poor soil.
The meeting will begin at 7 in the commissioners' meeting room on the fourth floor of the Davidson County Governmental Center, 913 Greensboro St. off North Main Street in Lexington.

Sundance Film Festival founder Robert Redford, director John Cooper and Sundance Institute director Keri Putnam talked guns, sex and film at the opening press conference.
It was held Thursday afternoon at the Egyptian Theatre. This year's moderator was Sean P. Means, a reporter for the Salt Lake Tribune. Most of the talk was on change—how indie film has changed and the festival along with it.
You can watch the entire event here (or we'll give you the gist below).
Guns were brought up by a member of the press specifically mentioning those who blame for the Newton massacre, in part, on violence in films. Cooper brought up this year's film Valentine Road, which addresses gun violence.
Redford mentioned that when he started the festival, an assassination attempt was made on President Reagan, and this discussion came up then. Redford says he's unsure if it's been perpetuated, in part, by his industry. "Does my industry think that guns will help sell tickets? I don't know," he says, "It's worth asking the question."
As for the Sutherland Institute's criticism of Sundance content (click here to read all about it), Redford brushed it off. "Sometimes the narrowest mind barks the loudest," he says. He also mentioned that if Sundance did close up shop, it would take nearly $80 million from Utah's economy with it.
Redford also gave his thoughts on changes in film and media. "We watch as things happen in the world around us and adapt," he says. Some of those changes have included more shorts and documentaries being promoted by the festival and emphasizing New Frontier and social media.
Another big Sundance focus: music.
This April, the Sundance Film and Music Festival will take place in London, with as much emphasis on music as film. At Utah's festival, Cooper's excited about partnerships with ASCAP for the music café and Los Angeles NPR flagship-station KCRW. (Click here for our post on the music at the fest.)
The London fest will feature American films in what Redford refers to as a "cultural exchange." The reason they're going to London: "London asked for it," says Redford.
Cooper shot down rumors of Sundance going to Brooklyn. Instead, he brought up one of the most notable differences he's seen in the films lately: how sex is portrayed. "In the '60s, sex was about romance," he says. "Now, it's more about relationships and how they change due to pressure."
Putnam mentioned 51 of this year's picks are from first-year filmmakers (and about half are women), mixed in with well-known filmmakers and A-list celebs. She also mentioned the Sundance Institute works in 13 countries worldwide, and the festival is an essential networking tool for the Institute's fellows.
Redford identifies with those indie filmmakers and actors, since he's both. "Since we've been supporting indie filmmakers for over 30 years, I was surprised nobody ever asked me to be in their film," he says. But recently, he got a call from director J.C. Chandor to star in the 2013 film All Is Lost. Now, after also directing independently, he says he's like a fish swimming in the same stream as the festival's filmmakers.

Paul W. S. Anderson, "AVP: Alien vs. Predator" (2004).
In my completely voluntary trawl through Paul W. S. Anderson's oeuvre — and I write "voluntary" to emphasize the fact that I wasn't threatened with sharp implements to watch this — his 2004 goo-fest with the unwieldy and literal-minded title, AVP: Alien vs. Predator, actually stands as something of an achievement. Sure, it's icky to look at, it comes with a backstory that's patent nonsense, but nonetheless provides excitement in an efficiently dumb way.

Valley Forge FAQs
Martha Washington
Q.How did Martha Washington help during the Winter at Valley Forge.
Linda, Los Angeles, Ca
A.Martha was a great comfort to George Washington at Valley Forge. He appreciated her presence beyond measure. She also spent time entertaining the other wives and officers at Valley Forge. Martha Washington arrived at Valley Forge a little before her husbands birthday. She probably organized a small birthday party for him (he turned 45 that year) in which they had a very simple dinner (it was the week of the worst famine at Valley Forge). The guests were able to enjoy a special "concert" of fifers and drummers from the 2nd Continental Artillery who arrived at Headquarters on their own accord. It was Martha who conveyed the General's thanks for the musicale and tipped them 15 shillings. Martha took over many of the household duties for the General-which was seeing that everything ran smoothly. There was laundry to oversee, meals for various officers and aide-de-camps... The officers wives tried to entertain their men and fellow comrades by having small "parties" and even put on a play: "Cato" by Joseph Addison. Martha was even noted at one point to use thorns instead of pins on her clothes.
You can read more about Martha Washington here.
I'm going to point you in the direction of your local library where you can find LOTS of resources for your questions. Here are some to look for:

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Dakotah Keys used a huge personal best in the javelin to come from behind and win his second straight Pac-12 decathlon title by just three points Sunday at Loker Stadium and Cromwell Field.
Through eight events, Keys was in third, 223 points behind Washington's Jeremy Taiwo. But Keys' monster throw of 219-2/66.81m catapulted Keys into the lead by 54 points. He then stayed just close enough to Taiwo in the 1,500 meters to win with a personal best score of 8,001. Taiwo was second with 7,998 points and Dominc Giovannoni of UCLA was third with 7,364 points.
"It feels really good," said Keys. "It didn't start sinking in until a little bit ago. It was really stressful. I didn't think anything would top what happened last year at home but this is probably one of the best memories with track and field that I have.
"Jeremy's such a great competitor and I was really nervous about him being here. I guess my training kicked in though. I'm just really excited."
Keys' score was the fifth best decathlon total in school history, trailing only Ashton Eaton's 8,457, Pedro daSilva's 8,176, Muhammad Oliver's 8,087 and Craig Brigham's 8,027. It was also the third best score in the NCAA this season.
Keys opened the second day of the decathlon by running a personal best 14.60 in the 110 meter hurdles. Despite that, Keys fell to third in the overall standings, where he would remain in the javelin.
After a throw of 117-1/35.69 in the discus, Keys won the pole vault with a personal best clearance at 16-0.75/4.90m to close the gap on Taiwo by 50 points.
Keys then captured the javelin with a throw that was a personal best by more than eight feet.
That left the 2013 Pac-12 title to be decided in the 1,500 meters, where Keys needed to stay within approximately :07 of Taiwo. The Husky senior has a PR of 4:17 in the 1,500, while Keys' best time prior to Sunday was 4:30.
"When he pulled away with 800 to go I was nervous," said Keys. "In my head there was a second where I just thought, 'He won and there's nothing I can do'.
"With about 200 to go and I just thought, 'this is all I can do, I'm going to go as hard as I can,' and I just started pumping my arms. Coach said lean and so I leaned at the finish."
Taiwo won the event in 4:18.23, but Keys ran a :05 personal best to finish in 4:25.76 and edge Taiwo by a field goal.
"That was an awesome win for Dakotah and a great way to start the men's race for another title," said Oregon head coach Robert Johnson.
Also on Sunday, Duck freshman Blake Kemp had a personal best in the javelin of 158-1/48.18m as he finished 11th overall with 6,419 points.

Reviews for Lighter Boston Cream Pie
"cake is way to dense. It had no flavor."
"I made this last night and I was nervous it wouldn't turn out after reading these reviews but it was great! Yes, the cake is a little heavier you may expect but it works well as a combination. I used all-purpose flour and 1% milk - I think this is a fantastic, impressive dessert and I will definitely make it agin."
"Each layer is supposed to be only about an inch high. It is a Boston Cream PIE, not CAKE. Watch you baking time closely to avoid dryness, all ovens do not cook the same"
"cake was dry and flatter than the picture showed. the concept is great, but the cake is what failed it. Pretty bad for me when I'm happy to give half away"
"One little problem I see is that the sugar and butter should be creamed very well and not left crumbly. It would give a smoother texture and help the batter to rise more. Otherwise, the recipe looks fine."

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
The process of breastfeeding and your milk change as your baby grows and develops. A newborn's feeding routine may be different than that of a breastfeeding 6-month-old. As the baby grows, the nutrients in your milk adapt to your growing baby's needs. The anti-infective properties also increase if you or your baby is exposed to some new bacteria or virus.
Babies that guzzle their food nonstop may self-detach in 10 to 15 minutes; babies preferring to savor their meals often take 20 to 35 minutes on the first breast, because they tend to take a few several-minute breaks between "courses." Whichever type your baby is, it is important to let him/her choose when to let go of the breast, as this self-detachment will increase the amount of higher fat/higher calorie milk (hindmilk) your baby takes in.
Your baby should continue to:
Your baby probably will go through several two to four day "growth spurt" periods when he/she seems to want to eat almost around the clock. Babies commonly experience a growth spurt between 2 to 3 weeks, 4 to 6 weeks, and again at about 3 months. It is important to let a baby feed more often during these spurts. Within a few days, your baby will have returned to a more typical pattern.
Let your baby set the pace for breastfeeding. Pay attention to his/her feeding cues. The number of feedings each baby needs and the length of time each feeding lasts will vary from baby to baby. Trying to force a breastfed baby to wait longer between feedings, or fit a particular feeding schedule, can result in poor weight gain.
