'Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la la la la la . Will there be a budget for the benefit of the many without catering to the few? Will there be cause for joy? It is highly unlikely we will see a budget that resolves the fake fiscal cliff. The only thing we may see under the Christmas tree is the extension of the Bush tax cuts for 98% of Americans. That would be Obama's Christmas gift.
If you consider justice to be a gift, then Romney was right. Obama got elected because he promised to give us gifts. But it was not just to those who voted for him but also to those who didn't because he is the president of all Americans. If that makes Obama Santa what does it make Mitch McConnell and John Boehner who, as of this writing, is preventing Santa from descending the chimney -- Scrooge?
The two Scrooges are acting out Ebenezer's Christmas past in the present. Just as Ebenezer finally relented and gave his clerk, Bob Cratchit, Christmas day off with pay, perhaps the two Scrooges will allow Santa to deliver the gift or should I say justice for the middle class.
In the Ghost of Christmas Past, we learn that Ebenezer's behavior was heavily influenced by his father. In much the same way it seems House Speaker John Boehner's actions are more that of the Tea Party, the Koch brothers, Shel Adelson and the like than himself. As for Mitch McConnell, I don't see much redeeming value. Apparently, in his own state of Kentucky, McConnell could only muster a 37% approval rating.
After Christmas, the 'fiscal cliff' remains to be resolved. Obama wants $1.4 trillion tax increase conceding $600 billion in spending cuts. Boehner and Republicans are conceding $800 billion in raising tax revenue but demand $1.4 trillion in spending cuts claiming government has a spending problem.
Consider this. Your wage increases by 5%, if at all, annually, but your rent, health insurance, food, auto insurance, gas, utilities, and prescription drugs cost considerably more. You put the added costs on your credit card. Do you have a spending problem? No. You have a cost problem. A spending problem is when you spend beyond your means for that which is unnecessary. Is Medicare unnecessary? Is Medicaid unnecessary? Is Social Security unnecessary? Similarly, on these issues, government does not have a spending problem as Republicans like to characterize. Government has a cost problem.
Republicans want to increase the Medicare and Social Security age to 67 or above; voucherize and means test Medicare; privatize Social Security and cut COLA. Cutting spending on necessities for two years don't make the necessities go away. Seniors still require those services. The Republican solution only makes seniors pay it out of pocket and if they can't, makes their children pay. If Republicans are genuinely concerned about passing on debt, isn't that exactly what they are doing with this proposal?
An ideal bargain would be to give Obama his $1.4 trillion in tax increases and Boehner his $1.4 trillion in spending reduction and doing it painlessly. Can this be done? Yes.
Majority of Americans already agree that the minimal raise in taxes on the top 2% is fair and won't hurt them. Now how do we reduce spending painlessly? Obama already demonstrated that in Obamacare when he cut $716 billion dollars of waste and fraud from Medicare without cutting benefits. According to the Wall Street Journal, Aug 12. 2009, "...spending during the last year of life accounted for 27.4% of total Medicare spending, the report found." In 2011, the Medicare budget was $835 billion. 27.4% of that would be a savings of $230 billion a year or $2.3 trillion over ten years. Allowing Medicare to negotiate for lower drug prices would save $156 billion.
Smart Defense spending would cut Defense costs by $1.4 trillion over ten years (search "Budget Bullets: Defense"). The grand total in spending reduction is $3.856 trillion, well above the $1.4 trillion demanded by Republicans.
There are numerous more cost cutting and efficiency measures. These combined with modest tax increases on the 2% will wipe out the debt in no time. So why don't the two Scrooges entertain these cost cutting measures instead - because cutting costs means cutting into the bottom line of companies and the rich that profit from high costs. We can only hope McConnell and Boehner will have their epiphany as Ebenezer did.
Who's looking out for whom?

Jan. 2, 2013
COACH BLUDER: We talked to the team about the nonconference season and it was really good. We enjoyed it. It's over. Now everybody is 0 0. Everybody starts all over again. Ohio State comes in here ranked in the top 25. We should be ready for that. We faced numerous teams in the top 25. We've done well against them. I think our team is excited to start Big Ten play and get going with this season.
But, of course, Ohio State, we only play them one time all year. This is it, the first game, which is strange, out of the gates. Last year we only got to play them one time, at their place. We're looking forward to having them on our home court again. Tayler Hill is a heck of a player. She can score at will. She's a three point shooter, driver, free throw shooter. She is the key to their basketball team. Ashley Adams at 6'5", has a little girth to her, can really post up. The thing that's impressive about her is how well she passes the ball. She's an extraordinary passer. She can find anybody out of a trap. She can find anybody from the high post. She's deadly at hitting people. She's a strong passer, makes great outlet passes to get their fast break going. She does some things that don't show up in the box scores that are very good.
Of course, Amber Stokes. She's a senior, great defensive player, has been around, I'm sure is kind of a leader for their basketball team.
A team that I don't feel like they have challenged themselves as much as we have in the non conference season.
Q. You usually have good Februarys in the Big Ten. Chance to start with two home games. Does that set you up to start Big Ten off on the right foot?
COACH BLUDER: I think so. We know from experience that if you want to do well in the Big Ten, you have to do well at home. If you want to finish in the top four or five teams in this conference, you have to take care of home court. Right away these two games are pretty important for us. Okay, Ohio State, big game. Every game is big in the Big Ten because they all count the same. When you're only playing against a team one time, you want to have that win in head to head competition.
Q. Big Ten look a little different now or pretty much the same as it did as far as who is good or...
COACH BLUDER: This probably sounds silly. I've watched Ohio State. I haven't watched anybody else. I am not a person that sits around and watches basketball games unless I'm cooking dinner and Purdue might have been on, I'm watching them halfheartedly. I don't really look ahead that much. Maybe I'm not smart enough. I have to focus one game and one team at a time. I just have to fully concentrate on that. I haven't looked ahead a whole lot.
Q. Players said they reset some goals today. Were coaches part of that?
COACH BLUDER: We didn't firmly put them down. We kind of brainstormed today, put on the board some things we'd like to achieve. We set goals for the non conference season, now we're setting goals for the Big Ten season. When the Big Ten season is over, we'll set them for the Big Ten tournament season and beyond. Right now we put a lot up there, but we haven't isolated which ones we want to go after. But I think we needed to. We needed to refocus and reset these goals again for the next season.
Q. This rivalry with Ohio State, seems like the last four years these guys and you have been the rivalry of the Big Ten.
COACH BLUDER: I think it goes back farther than that. Goes back to Vivian when there were 22,000 people here against Ohio State. I think there's always been a strong rivalry. Ever since I've gotten here, it's been that way with Ohio State. Certainly when we made it to the championship game in 2010, that kind of brought it to the forefront again. But even Jim Foster said one time when he came into the league, he was kind of surprised because he thought that Michigan might be a natural rivalry for them. Then he said when Iowa came to town, that was our biggest crowd. He was surprised by it. I think it goes back to that game, Iowa and Ohio State playing in the Final Four in 1993.
Q. What's changed offensively? Seems you're scoring at will at times. You put so much emphasis on the defense.
COACH BLUDER: No doubt, our offense has caught up. One thing is we're taking care of the ball a lot better than we were earlier in the year. We're being smarter with assists. Every game you look at, we have high assist numbers. We've become very good at finding the open person and understanding a high percentage shot. That takes time. I think the light bulb turned on for us.
Q. How important was the road trip to San Diego?
COACH BLUDER: It was a really good tournament. It was a good six days. Sometimes you go on the road and you worry about a lot of things, flight schedules, a lot of parents had the flu, we were worried about the kids getting the flu. Nobody got it and that was nice. We also had some good times off the court. We won two games, got to go to the zoo, went to Coronado Beach, got time to relax and enjoy each other's company. It was a really good trip all around, good for team chemistry. But the highlight is the two Ws, to win a championship. We hadn't won a championship yet so that was important for us.
Q. Should your team be ranked right now?
COACH BLUDER: My opinion, we should be. The last time I looked, our RPI was 19 in the country. We don't have any control over that. So all we have to do, all we can do, is to go after the next game, win the next game, win the next game. Sometimes people get put up into the top 25 and never come out, seems like they can do no wrong once you get anointed up there. Other teams like us, seems like we have a hard time doing that. Maybe we're the Rodney Dangerfield of women's basketball. It's too bad for the fact that I think our players deserve that notoriety and recognition. But, on the other hand, it really means nothing because at the end of the year, when they're making the NCAA tournament, they don't look at national rankings, they look at the RPIs. That's the most crucial number.
Q. For four or five years you finished in the top three in the Big Ten; never picked to contend for the title. Why is that?
COACH BLUDER: We don't have the All Americans that some schools do. Tayler Hill, Amber Stokes, All Americans coming out of high school. Ashley Adams. Penn State has All Americans dotting their roster. I really think it's because we don't have those All American names on our roster, so we're not kind of picked in those situations. But our team's always kind of been a blue collar team, works hard, works smart, so we win games. We haven't challenged for that Big Ten title for, what, four years. 2008 was our last one.
Q. Do you talk about that or avoid talking about that?
COACH BLUDER: Wanting to get it?
Q. Yes.
COACH BLUDER: Right now, that's not one of our goals. But certainly goals can change and be modified as the year goes on. Right now we want to be in that top group again in the Big Ten, but certainly if we're poised to be in that championship spot, we'll reevaluate and redo those goals. We're talking minimally, we don't say one spot, but if we take like top three in the Big Ten, we're happy with one, two or three.
Q. Seems like the last three or four years have been the same, hurt or banged up at this point in the year. You're healthy. Do you feel this team is equipped to get out fast?
COACH BLUDER: I do feel that way. Knock on wood. We haven't had any major injuries this year. Knock on wood that that continues. We can all see how impressive Jaime Printy has played for us lately. I think we just have an unbelievable trio with Jaime, Morgan Johnson and Sam Logic. They're playing well. We have weapons like Melissa Dixon coming off the bench. I think we have the pieces for a really good Big Ten season. I do think the schedule kind of allows us to start the Big Ten season on a positive note, just having the home games, our first road game at Wisconsin, a place we've been fairly successful.
Q. After four years, does Jaime still surprise you with what she's able to do?
COACH BLUDER: Going six for seven from three point range in the second half in San Diego, you just shake your head sometimes. That was pretty amazing. She had a career high with 33 points. Yeah, there's still times she does, especially coming off the ACL injury, thinking of what she's battled back to. She deserves to be able to do that. Sam's numbers in that first game, I don't think in 28 years of coaching I've ever had a point guard with those kind of numbers, 15 rebounds, 14 assists, having a double double, I don't think I've ever seen that before. That was pretty impressive. She was very impressive in that game.
Q. They say football drives the truck as far as conference realignment. How much better is the Big Ten going to be in two years?
COACH BLUDER: This is going to be I think one of the most powerful leagues. It already is, and now we're adding Rutgers and Maryland to it. It's going to be incredibly difficult. To see us being with those teams that send 10 teams to the NCAA tournament, we have that many quality teams in this conference. It's going to be unbelievably difficult. I hope they do an east/west type of thing because playing all these schools would be really tough, and the travel.

Soft earth crumbles damp and fertile beneath my hands.
The sunshine of late spring warms the bricks beneath my knees.
And I wish upon the chocolate mint in the pot next to me that I could find the relaxation in gardening I hear about from so many. It eludes me. I've tried many times, planting a variety of things and finding my thumb never manages anything other than a pale imitation of green.
But my daughter wants to plant beans, like Jack in the Beanstalk, and I've contemplated a foray into potted herbs since I discovered the joy of fresh herbs in cooking and baking.
I hesitated, remembering the times in the past my plants have sadly withered, despite watering and proper light conditions and frustration.
The calming scent of lavender won out, and we carefully transplanted herbs into pots, planting beans in a little planter to move it around into the sunnier spots in the yard during the day.
And so we dig into the potting soil, gently pressing and tapping and hiding seeds a couple inches below the surface.
Days later, small sprouts are visible mixed in with the dark dirt, tenderly watered with a tiny watering can.
Those sprouts are magic in the eyes of a four-year-old, and I begin to see that not all gardening is about what you grow in the ground.
Patience and responsibility and, yes, magic, can be nurtured there, too.

Comfort and Support with Hospice Services
The word hospice stems from the Latin word hospitium, meaning guesthouse. It was originally used to describe a place of shelter for weary and sick travelers returning from religious pilgrimages. During the 1960's, Dr. Cicely Saunders, a British physician, began the modern hospice movement by establishing St. Christopher's Hospice near London. St. Christopher's organized a team approach to professional care giving, and was the first program to use modern pain management techniques to compassionately care for the dying. The first hospice in the United States was established in New Haven, Connecticut in 1974. Little Company of Mary formally established its Hospice program in 1976, making it the first in the area.
Hospice is not a place; it is a concept of care. The vast majority of Hospice care is provided in private homes or a nursing home. Hospice is designed to provide physical, spiritual, psycho/social and emotional comfort and support to patients with a life-limiting illness and their families. Hospice becomes and option when an illness no longer responds to cure-oriented treatments. The care addresses all symptoms of the disease, with special emphasis upon pain control and comfort. Hospice neither prolongs nor hastens death. It promotes quality of life with compassion and dignity, while recognizing each patient's and family's unique needs. Our dedicated Hospice Team is specially trained in this concept of holistic care and includes the following professionals.
The Hospice Medical Director works in conjunction with the patient's Primary Physician for overall medical direction and supervision of the Hospice care and team.
Registered Nurses
The Hospice Nurse provides skilled care, symptom control, and coordinates additional services with other team members with the assistance of the Hospice Nurse Manager.
Provide pastoral and spiritual care and counseling to patients, families, and friends, if desired.
Licensed Medical Social Workers
Provide assistance with community resources, financial needs, and short-term counseling.
Home Health Aides
Provide personal care and comfort for the patient.
Provide patient/family companionship, emotional support, household assistance, child care, bereavement follow-up, and office assistance.
Home Medical Equipment Technicians
Delivery, set-up, and maintenance of equipment.
Bereavement Counselors
Provide emotional support to family members, if desired.
Pharmacists, Dieticians, Rehabilitation Therapists
Consult with the Hospice Team and/or patient and family as necessary.

Scenario time! You're somebody familiar with Rick Ross, who knows that his background as a prison guard has caused him no end of authenticity issues (although not as many lately.) You hear Kreayshawn, famous for "Gucci Gucci" then for feuding with the entire hip hop world, do a freestyle that even MTV called a "less than stellar display" that contains the following line: "You tryin' to play me like a boss? You faker than Rick Ross." You might come to the conclusion that Kreayshawn just insulted Rick Ross. But you'd be wrong! See, Kreayshawn explained the entire thing to MTV:
"I'm not like a person to go against anyone or anything. So hey, no offense to you Rick Ross. There's no Rick Ross offensive things going on in there, even though it sounds like it."
Sigh. Do we really have to? Fine.
1) People, things and nouns Kreayshawn has gone against: "basic bitches," "rich whores," people who take issues with her saying things like "just being white, it's hard," people who take issues with her white cohorts' use of the N-word, Nicki Minaj until she backpedaled.
2) "No offense" is what people say right before or after they offend people.
3) "There's no offensive things going on in there, even though it sounds like it" is the worst apology/excuse we've heard in ages, which includes the contributions of politicians, advertising campaigns and elementary schoolers. It quacks, it walks, it's made of feathers and skin over duck organs, but it's not a duck! Even a "I spoke without thinking" would be better–she did say she was "just trying to make words rhyme," which is kind of the absolute minimum here, so we're still not convinced.
In summary: Look. Look. We're not categorically against Kreayshawn having a career. But she's going to have to justify it, and this does not cut it. Enough with the "hopefully things will turn up," no awards-show appearances, no mysteriously vanished RHCP videos, no smiling and nodding after controversy number thirty-three. How about a decent song, or music video, or something? Anything? Please?

May 21, 2011
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Every Bruin starter had at least one hit, as junior Andrea Harrison posted her first-career, five-hit game with two homers and four RBI, while senior GiOnna DiSalvatore and junior Katie Schroeder each had three hits in the Bruins' 12-4 rout of Jacksonville on Saturday at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium.
The Bruins (35-18) advance to the Gainesville Regional championship game and will have to beat Florida twice to advance to Super Regionals. Sunday's first game is at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET. If UCLA wins that contest, it will play the Gators again 30 minutes after the first game. All the action can be followed online with Gametracker and free audio at UCLABruins.com and streaming video at ESPN3.com. Links will be available on the softball schedule page.
Harrison left the yard twice for her seventh career, two-homer contest, also singling twice and doubling. She becomes just the seventh Bruin to post five hits in a single game to tie a school record. DiSalvatore drove in four runs and both her, Harrison, Schroeder and senior Amy Crawford scored twice. Crawford, senior Grace Murray, junior Samantha Camuso and freshman Kellie Fox each had a pair of hits, with Murray posting her first two collegiate hits and RBI. The 21 hits for the Bruins were a season high and one shy of the school record of 22 set against Santa Clara in 2008.
Senior Donna Kerr (14-9) started in the circle and struck out two in four innings, allowing three unearned runs, one hit and two walks. Freshman Jessica Hall tossed one inning of relief, allowing a run and a hit, while sophomore Destiny Rodino fanned three in two hitless frames of relief, walking one.
After two scoreless innings, the Bruins got on the board on one swing of the bat in the top of the third. With one out, Schroeder doubled to right-center and came home when Harrison hit the first pitch she saw over the right-field fence for her 15th homer of the season to make it 2-0.
Jacksonville (44-16) responded though with three runs in the bottom of the inning. Katie Kelly drew a leadoff walk and Meagan Balding reached on a fielder's choice bunt when Kerr was unsuccessful at getting Kelly at second. After Brittany Eppley moved both runners up on a sacrifice, Kayla Ouellet tapped a ball to short. Fox looked Kelly back to third, but that allowed Ouellet to reach first safely on another fielder's choice to load the bases. Amanda Schmidt followed by tapping one back to Kerr in the circle, but she threw high to Murray at home, as Kelly slid in safely with the Dolphins' first run. One out later, Olivia Kline singled to left to bring home pinch-runner Annike Don and Ouellet to give Jacksonville a 3-2 lead.
The lead would be short-lived for Jacksonville though as the Bruins got two in the fourth. Crawford led off with a single to left-center, moved to second on a sacrifice by Murray and scored when DiSalvatore hammered a 3-1 pitch over the wall in center field for her fifth homer of the season to make it 4-3.
The Bruins broke it open with a two-out rally in the fifth, scoring four times. Crawford had a two-out single to left-center and stole second, while junior Marti Reed drew a pinch-hit walk. DiSalvatore then doubled to right-center to bring in Crawford with the Bruins' fifth run. A Schroeder single to center plated Reed to make it 6-3, while Harrison followed with a single to right-center to score DiSalvatore to make it 7-3. With Schroeder now at third and Harrison moving to second on the throw home, Kline uncorked a wild pitch, allowing Schroeder to score run number eight.
The Dolphins got one back in the fifth when Ouellet tripled to right-center and scored on a sacrifice fly to left by Schmidt to make it 8-4.
UCLA added two more runs with two outs in the sixth. Camuso led off with a single to left, moved to second on a grounder to second by freshman Talee Snow, advanced to third on a fly out to right off the bat of Crawford and scored on a single up the middle by Murray to make it 9-4. Murray then moved to second on a wild pitch and came in when DiSalvatore singled up the middle to put the Bruins in double figures.
In the seventh, Harrison picked up her fifth hit of the ballgame, lifting a high fly ball to center, which bounced off the glove of Ouellet and went over the fence for a home run. One out later, Fox singled to right, and one more out later, Snow singled to left and Crawford was hit to load the bases for Murray, who singled to right to plate Fox with the Bruins' 12th run.

|There were a lot of people, but I certainly wasn't expecting a Wilderness experience. Before we left I spent weeks pumping up my group of high school kids about the importance of safety, hydration, warm clothes, and the like. They were all appalled and a little frightened I think, when we saw a dude just after Chasm lake wearing nothing but shorts and a tank top with a liter of Coke in one hand just after sunrise. Talk about a 'teachable moment'....

|My first time up Longs Peak was via the Keyhole route with a group from the Loveland Mountain Club. Since then I have climbed the Keyhole Ridge, Cables, Kepplinger's Couloir and the Keyhole route for a total of 10 times to the summit out of 14 attempts. When we summited Keplinger's in April we were the only ones on the summit...a rarity on Longs. My last time to the summit was by the Keyhole route, solo. Each ascent holds special memories for me.

Despite efforts to start early enough, the group I was with wasn't acclimatized to the elevation and had to go quite slow, which caused us to get caught in the middle of a lightning storm on the way back down.

|We attempted the summit from Black Lake but were moving much too slowly in winter with the heavy gear we brought with us. We turned back somewhere above the Keyhole route around 2:45pm. Next time I'll camp above Black Lake and take a day to acclimatize before the climb.
Attempted again in April 2009 but 2 ft of fresh snow and 50MPH winds created dangerous avy conditions. I never even stepped foot on the mountain. Hiked into Glacier Gorge and camped solo for the night and returned the next morning. That's the risk you take when you live out of state. You roll the dice, buy a plane ticket and hope for good weather. But it was not meant to be. Third times a charm?

|Being much more experienced, this time was much "easier", dare I say, but still a challenge (how can it NOT be?)...With friends from the OC, they did really well. Scary weather this time, had to boogie down from boulderfield.
Next on Long's agenda: winter ascent via loft route!

Not into all the floral and frills that go hand-in-hand with Easter Sunday? We don't blame you. It can get a little...fussy. Trade in pastels and heels for a smaller homage to the holiday with the Bunny Rabbit Necklace ($21) by SilentRoses. It's still on the cutesy side, but it's tiny and simple. Plus, you can chow down on Easter sweets without feeling uncomfortable. You can't say the same after eating a pound of chocolate while wearing tights!

Full text not available from this repository.
Public service media are no longer limited to radio and television as new media genres emerge. Among others, online media supplement radio, television and the press since the mid 1990s and became a medium in its own right. Moreover, online media become an essential element of media consumption patterns. Public service media compete not only with private radio and television broadcasters but also with the press. The question arises, whether such competition in the online field results in more diversity and higher output quality, serving the public interest better. In Europe, there are at least two different schools of thought. One line of argument accepts the public service expansion into online and regards online media as necessary and important field for public service activities. Another line of argument suggests limiting the public service remit strictly to radio and broadcasting and considers online media as emerging market subject to competition among private companies only. Based on the results of a comparative empirical analysis of online media provided by public service broadcasters and print publishers in Switzerland, Germany and Austria (from 2006) the article shows that the achieved results in media output are disappointing. Only few online media live up to the expectations. The article finally argues that the extension of the public service remit to online media might enhance quality and diversity.

The world is in shock to hear news about the world's funniest man. According to CBC News published August 11, 2012, Robin Williams, "was the funniest guy in the room, something that made it all the harder for friends and fans to accept that beneath that reservoir of frenetic energy and seemingly endless good humour resided demons so dark they could push Robin Williams to suicide."
CBC goes on to say that it was said that Robin Williams made somebody laugh so hard in the audience that it gave him a hernia. He was also said to be the first person to make Christopher Reeves (superman) laugh after his accident.
I don't think it could be said better than that for Robin Williams was one of a kind and so loved by so many people. He was a comedic genius. He was also a great actor.
He made us laugh in Mork and Mindy, Mrs. Doubtfire, and many other films. He entertained us. He was the voice behind the scenes in Good Morning Vietnam, he was a versatile actor. He made us cry, he tugged at the very essence of our being.
Now he is has tugged at our heart one more time. He again makes us cry. His spirit has left this world and there will never be another comedian actor and human being quite like him.
Robin was like therapy to his fans, yet his own personal demons were not addressed by therapy. Even though he must have known the world loved him he did not quite believe it or believe in himself. The millions of fans could not help him, his family could not help; the doctors could not help him. He sunk so deep into depression that nobody could reach Robin Williams anymore. Although he held the world in his hands, he felt he no longer had anything to live for.
Robin Williams committed suicide. The funny man did not feel funny deep down inside. He was lost forever.
I know his death has profoundly rocked the world for it has profoundly shaking mine. It will take a long time for our hearts to heal from the shock of his death. We cannot help but ask why?
Why would a man who seemed to have it all even through his drug and alcohol addictions want to end his life when he had such a brilliant career envied by many?
The sad truth is that the warning signs may have been there to those closest to him; but, his family, friends, peers, and fans just did not want to see it.
Now we mourn and say if only way looked beyond the glory to the soul of the real man Robin Williams and not the act he had trained to portray. If only we had reached out to the man he may still have been with us today; if only...

We're taking advantage of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale to find ourselves a new scent. Our current top contender is the Cartier Baiser Volé Anniversary Duo ($130, on sale). Baiser Volé means "stolen kiss" in French, and the fragrance is as sweet and sultry as the name implies. It smells like a humid summer night, heady with the scent of lilies. We'll use the body cream during the day and then spritz on a bit of the eau de parfum come evening for an extra boost of fragrance.

Registering for your baby can be a lot of fun in the store. Grab the little gun and within minutes somehow you've added 50 different types of bottles, jumpers, and countless adorable clothes for your little one. But, what happens when you find a product that isn't at that store? Or, there isn't a store located near your family and friends. Well, the random gifts start coming in. Or duplicates start piling up. Let's me honest, the only duplicate you'll take are wipes and diapers.
So, finally someone figure out a way to combine all the products you want on one website that your family/friends can choose from. It's called BABYLIST. And it works very similar to pinterest. Whenever you are out on any site; Target, Walmart, Buy Buy Baby, Giggle, Macy's or even your local favorite boutique…you just select what you want and it is added to your babylist.
Then when someone wants to purchase that gift they are able to do so right off your list or refer to the list and make a note that you purchased from another site and it's marked off. No one is locked in to purchasing at any one store or only online.
BabyList was created after the founder, Natalie Gordon's own frustrating experience trying to create a traditional baby registry, which didn't allow her to register for things she wanted such as food delivery, pet sitting, eco-friendly diaper service and handmade items from Etsy. Now all of these things can be added to your baby registry and more.
We tried it out and thought it was easy to use and stunned it took so long. Now someone just needs to set up a Gift Registry after you've gotten married or had a baby for all the in between gift celebrations like birthday and holidays. Take the guess work out and tell your family and friends what you and you're little one really needs!

The following is a list of the seven golfers who have won the British Open in wire to wire fashion. In wire to wire fashion means each one of these golfers led the British Open after each round.
Each one of these golfers were the outright leaders after each round in the years they won in wire to wire fashion. You have some of the best golfers in history on this list, including Tiger Woods.
Winning the British Open, or any major in golf, in wire to wire fashion is not easy. The fact that this list is not terribly long is testament to how tough it is to lead the British Open for all four rounds. I'm only counting the British Opens that were 72 holes, which is from 1892 on.
This list is relevant because Rory McIlroy won the 2014 British Open at Royal Liverpool after leading at the end of each of the first three rounds. So Rory McIlroy became just the seventh golfer in history to win the British Open by leading after every round.
Golfers who have won the British Open in wire to wire fashion
- Ted Ray (1912 at Muirfield)
Englishmen Ted Ray, who was born on the Isle of Jersey, was the first golfer to win the British Open in wire to wire fashion. Ted Ray led the 2012 British Open after every round at Muirfield and defeating runner-up Harry Vardon by four strokes.
- Bobby Jones (1927 at St. Andrews)
Bobby Jones led after every round to win the 1927 British Open at St. Andrews by six strokes over Aubrey Boomer and Fred Robson. The 1927 win was the second consecutive British Open for Bobby Jones, who would go on to win once more in The Open (1930).
- Gene Sarazen (1932 at Prince's Golf Club)
Gene Sarazen won the British Open for the only time in 1932 in wire to wire fashion. Sarazen had a one stroke lead after round one, a three stroke lead after round two, and a four stroke lead after round three, on way to a five stroke win over Macdonald Smith.
- Henry Cotton (1934 at Royal St. Goerge's)
Englishmen Henry Cotton won the first of his three British Open championships in wire to wire fashion in 1934. Cotton played brilliantly in the first two rounds to build a 10 stroke lead, which he maintained after the third round. In the final round, though, Henry Cotton got nervous and shot 40 on the front nine, and then bogeyed the next three holes. He steadied himself after that, though, to win by five strokes over Sid Brew.
- Tom Weiskopf (1973 at Royal Troon)
Tom Weiskopf won the only major in his career in brilliant fashion when he led wire to wire to win the 1973 British Open at Royal Troon. Weiskopf never had a big lead, he led by one after the first day, three after the second, one after the third, and then won the tournament by three strokes over Johnny Miller and Neil Coles.
- Tiger Woods (2005 at St. Andrews)
Tiger Woods won the second of his three British Opens in wire to wire fashion in 2005 at St. Andrews. Tiger had leads of one stroke after round one, four after round two, two after round three, and he beat runner-up Colin Montgomerie by five strokes.
- Rory McIlroy (2014 at Royal Liverpool)
Rory McIlroy won his first British Open championship in wire to wire fashion in 2014. McIlroy had a one shot lead after round one, a four shot lead after round two, and a six round lead after round three. Rory McIlroy won the 2014 British Open by two strokes over Rickie Fowler and Sergio Garcia for his wire to wire win.

More action in a television program makes people eat more in an emotional and subconscious response to the content of the television program. This is the conclusion of a new study conducted by Dr. Aner Tal, Brian Wansink, and colleagues at Cornell University. The research was published in the Sept. 1, 2014, edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association: Internal Medicine.
Several previous studies have indicated that watching television or excessive viewing of television was a factor in the obesity epidemic in the United States. This is the first research that quantifies the content factor of television with eating habits that can lead to obesity. The researchers found that the more distracting a television program is the more a person will eat in an unconscious response to the content of the program. Excessive eating was predicated on the person deciding to eat while watching television.
The study involved 94 participants. The participants watched an action movie and a talk show while eating. The participants were given a choice of eating fruit or high-sugar content foods while watching a 20 minute snippet of each program. The action film increased eating by 98 percent versus the talk show. Participants that watched the action movie without sound ate 36 more. The action movie increased calorie consumption by 146 percent.
The researchers conclude that action movies produce more eating because the distraction of the action movie prevents people from paying attention to how much they are eating. The suggested solution is planning television snacks by placing small portions in separate containers before watching television. A second suggestion is substituting fruit and healthier foods for high-sugar foods. Turning off the television and going outside to exercise is a third possibility that was not suggested by the study.

No.054, March - April, 2007
Enemies: How America's Foes Steal Our Vital Secrets - and How We Let It Happen.
Bill Gertz is well known for his extraordinary journalistic skill in uncovering China's plots to undermine the United States, which include Chinese spies infiltrating into the highest and most sensitive US intelligence ranks to getting secret intelligence on US weapons. In this book, he reveals even more controversial Chinese spying activities, some of which were never previously reported, and the stunning admission that those activities continue on US territory with the full knowledge of US authorities.
Gertz says the book provides an inside look at intelligence gathering by America's "most dangerous enemies" which include China, Cuba and North Korea. China of course occupies a critical position in international relations because of its ever growing economic and political clout. As Chinese power increases, its relationship with the US grows in importance. When he was still in power, President Jiang Zemin commissioned a brand new Boeing 767 jetliner for his personal use and the deal was completed by the Chinese military at the cost of 120 million dollars. The plane was delivered in July 2000 and sent to the San Antonio International Airport to be outfitted with luxurious accommodations worth 15 million dollars, which included a special vibrating bed to help Jiang Zemin to sleep. The plane was delivered to Chinese authorities when modification work was done. But within weeks, Chinese security officials found twenty-seven sophisticated electronic eaves-dropping devices in the aircraft even though the work was done under the watchful eyes of Chinese military officials in San Antonio. Bill Gertz says the clandestine operation of placing listening devices inside the plane was carried out by the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency of the US. It caused a severe diplomatic incident for Washington. But Gertz says the real problem, as it soon turned out, was who informed China about the listening devices so quickly.
The operation to plant the listening devices has remained a secret. But an investigation about the secret informer for the devices pointed to Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) counterspy James J. Smith in Los Angeles and a Chinese businesswoman named Katrina Leung known by her code name "Parlor Maid." The FBI official in Los Angeles William Cleveland was under scrutiny in the investigation. The FBI investigation of the case was mishandled. Leung escaped a jail term in a deal reached in December 2005. Gertz says she is a Communist spy working for the FBI who got away because US investigators mishandled the investigation. In May 2006, the Department of Justice General Inspector Glenn A. Fine said in a report that the FBI failed to investigate Leung before using her as an informant and after the case of listening devices planted on Jiang Zemin's plane.
"For more than two decades, Communist China ran a spy, Katrina Leung, who stole valuable secrets from the US government and intelligence community. More than that, this penetration agent, who had more than 2,100 contacts with Chinese officials over the course of twenty years, helped the Beijing regime exert enormous influence in the US," Gertz writes.
Los Angeles, with its large community of Chinese, is also the place where Chinese immigrants operated clandestine spying activities to gather sensitive high technology information for the People's Liberation Army. In 2005, the FBI arrested a number of people involved in a spy ring led by a man named Chi Mak, including his wife and brother. Chi Mak was an electrical engineer who worked for a major American defense contractor that supplied sensitive US Navy weapons secrets. In that position, Chi Mak was able to gain access to those secrets which he delivered to China, the author says. Gertz warns the US to repair the damage caused by people who spied for China, saying that unless the gaping holes in America's defenses are plugged, the situation will lead to "still more devastating losses and even greater dangers in the future."

Sotomayor's Type 1 Diabetes Is 'Non-Issue,' Say Docs
President Obama chose to focus on Sonia Sotomayor's Puerto Rican heritage, childhood in public housing projects and Yale Law School training in nominating the appeals court judge to the Supreme Court today. In other quarters, her health is also getting close attention.
Sotomayor (pictured with the president) is 54 years old and was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when she was 8.
The disease, which the Centers for Disease Control says afflicts as many as 10% of the 24 million Americans with diabetes, is sometimes associated with bouts of disorientation and a higher risk of heart disease, kidney disease and blindness. But doctors told the Health Blog that advances in understanding and managing the condition have substantially minimized the risk of those complications and, assuming Sotomayor wins Senate confirmation as expected, shouldn't affect her ability to carry out a justice's duties or likely shorten her tenure on the court.
"I think that's a non-issue," said Zachary Bloomgarden, a clinical professor at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City.
Type 1 diabetics can't metabolize sugar because their disease has killed off the insulin-producing cells that normally perform that function. As a result, they must monitor their blood-sugar levels and take insulin several times a day to manage their conditions. By keeping their blood-sugar levels within an acceptable range, sufferers can decrease their risks for heart attacks and other side effects, say experts.
"There's absolutely no reason why the fact that she has diabetes should be a factor in her longevity or should affect her ability to serve" on the Supreme Court, said Christopher Saudek, director of the Johns Hopkins Diabetes Center in Baltimore.
If sufferers exert themselves more strenuously than normal, or fail to eat enough, their glucose levels can drop too far, and they can feel disoriented or even faint. William Ahearn, a spokesman for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, said most patients can sense their blood-sugar levels plunging and sip some juice, nibble on a candy bar or drink soda to prevent an episode.

Preppy Pink Whale Party (20 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Since my niece was a summer baby we decided to go all out with a super fun, preppy whale theme using the colors navy and pink, getting inspired from the company Vineyard Vines. The party was small with just family and close friends and the birthday girl truly had a blast!
We set up a small dessert table with the cutest whale and beach ball cake pops from KC Pop Art & Parties. They even made and supplied the cake pop holder, which was a white wooden box with painted hot pink stripes. They then cut out pieces of heavy cardstock in shades of blue to create waves. The cake pops were the centerpiece of our table AND absolutely delish!! Any extras we had we displayed in mason jars and used them as accent pieces for our table.
Since there were a few small kids there, we made mini fruit skewers with blueberries and strawberries (sticking with the pink and navy color scheme). We also served simple vanilla cupcakes to the guests with printables designed by Party On! Designs.
As a backdrop to our dessert table, we took pieces of hot and light pink crepe paper that we cut into strips all the same length and pinned them to a ribbon we then strung to the top of a white beadboard. We then hung the birthday banner across it. It was so cute and added an additional pop of color. To finish off the table we added hot pink flowers we cut from our garden and displayed them in white blume boxes wrapped in navy jute ribbon.
The birthday girl had her very own smash cake that we purchased from a local grocery store and had them place a ribbon border around the bottom. Simple and sweet! We topped it with a mini flag pennant and had Party On! Designs create a matching birthday hat we printed out. I made a matching bib for the birthday girl to wear during her cake smash. She LOVED her cake!
Each of the party guests left with a sand bucket we filled with bubbles, goldfish snacks and a custom made sippy cup from I Have A Favor.
The birthday girls shirt was made by me, her auntie of Sweet Threads Clothing Co and Birdie Baby Boutique made to match the most adorable headband. Danbury Lane created a navy and hot pink tutu to complete her outfit. She looked adorable on her preppy pink 1st birthday!

Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is a leukapheresis-based therapy that uses 8-methoxypsoralen and ultraviolet A irradiation. Used alone or in combination with biological agents, ECP is an established and effective therapy for advanced cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. ECP has also shown promising efficacy in a number of other severe and difficult-to-treat conditions, including systemic sclerosis, graft-versus-host disease, prevention and treatment of rejection in solid organ transplantation, and Crohn disease. Furthermore, the use of ECP in some of these conditions may allow a significant reduction in the use of systemic steroids and other immunosuppressants, reducing long-term morbidity and mortality. The accumulated experience shows ECP to be well tolerated, with no clinically significant side effects. Progress is also being made in the search for understanding of the mechanisms of action of ECP, which will ultimately facilitate improvements in the use of this therapy.

- Posted by Peter Ferguson
On the day that City fans enjoyed their first glimpse of Edin Dzeko, Captain Fantastic Carlos Tevez gave them a timely reminder that Roberto Mancini already has a world-class goalscorer at his command.
Dzeko's sure touch, control and intelligence were readily apparent, but the Bosnian star from Wolfsburg could not crown his debut with the goal he and Blues fans desired. It was left to Tevez to conjure the crucial strike as City went top.
City's leading scorer produced a beauty for his 15th of the season to give his side the lead for the first time and, perhaps significantly, steer Mancini's men to three points from a goal down for the first time this term.
Man of the match Tevez thoroughly deserved the huge ovation he received when he came off late on, his ordinary first-half performance forgotten, along with the team's, in the heat of a rattling good thriller of a second.
That City were 4-1 up yet hanging onto a 4-3 lead through five fraught minutes of added time was as much a reflection of Wolves' vim and vigour as City's vulnerability, but Mancini will still launch an inquest
Maybe it was just that kind of a day. While City fans were waiting to see what impact Dzeko might have, Wolves took the initiative and somehow managed to scramble into the lead with just 11 minutes on the clock.
Lively winger Matt Jarvis, being tipped as an England prospect, fired in a low cross that took a deflection which seemed to flummox the home defence for a moment as Kolo Toure failed to hack the ball clear.
Serb Nenad Milijas couldn't make his first opportunity count as Joe Hart made a superb point-blank parry, but the Wolves man was first to the rebound and even Hart had no chance with his second effort.
Wolves naturally took confidence from such a development while City, taken aback, struggled to make headway against a well-organised side who were determined to be first to every ball and often succeeded.
Indeed, City might have fallen further behind had not Aleks Kolarov been able to launch a lunging block on a shot from the unmarked Jarvis after Wolves had cleverly passed their way down the Blues' right flank.
City were dangerous on the odd occasion: Johnson cut inside to fire a fierce angled drive that Wayne Hennessey was alert enough to save, and Tevez, busily trying to find his cutting edge, sent a dipper flying just over.
Their reward arrived in the 40th minute when Kolo Toure drifted away from his marker at a corner and hit a decent shot that the keeper saved with his foot only for the ball to come back off team-mate David Jones and bobble over the line.
Kolarov almost bamboozled Hennessey with a long-range cracker that skipped up off the greasy turf and found the one-time Stockport keeper happy to fumble it away for a corner, when a goal would have deflated Wolves' spirit.
But while half-time was a rather muted affair for the home crowd, City's explosive start to the second half sparked song and celebration with Tevez looking as if his batteries had been recharged during the interval.
The Argentine hit man produced a stunning goal after 49 minutes to underline why he has been so important to City's challenge so far, evading three attempted tackles before aiming low and true beyond Hennessey's reach
Four minutes later, with the crowd still buzzing, Tevez and Dzeko combined in the middle fo the park to essay a break that allowed Yaya Toure to stroke home the third from the Bosnian's perfect pass into his path.
Wolves' immediate answer as they saw a precious point disappearing was a header from Ronald Zubar that came back off the bar. Tevez responded by heading City's fourth off the underside of the bar from Pablo Zabaleta's cross, but Wolves were a long way from done.
Joleon Lescott, off the bench against his first club to replace injured Kolo Toure, had the misfortune to concede a 68th-minute penalty by bringing down Kevin Doyle, who got up to send Hart the wrong way from the spot.
And Zubar triggered an anxious last few minutes for City with a header that Nigel de Jong thought he had cleared before it crossed the line, only for an eagle-eyed assistant's upraised flag to signal otherwise.

Sharia in America
When I was in Oklahoma last week, I talked to legislators and activists about the state's fight to ban sharia law, as they understand it. The piece is up here . The key figure is Sally Kern, a smart social conservative who's working a rewritten ban through the legislature.
That brings Kern to the topic of sharia law. In 2010, Oklahoma voters passed a ballot measure —the first of its kind—prohibiting any judge or court from making decisions based on the teachings of the Koran. It won in a 70-30 landslide, then was immediately bogged down in court on First Amendment grounds.
So it was left up to Kern, who represents the western part of Oklahoma City in the House of Representatives, to introduce new legislation which can ban sharia without tripping on the First Amendment. Last week her bill, HR 1552, made its way to the Senate. It bans on "any law, rule, legal code or system" not rooted in the Constitution of Oklahoma or the United States. Kern, a former history teacher, says she has no problem whatsoever with Muslims moving to Oklahoma and that the bill that would protect them, too.
"When I see things that are happening that I think will weaken our American way of life, I don't like that," she says. "I don't have a problem with people coming over here—why wouldn't people want to come to America, the greatest nation in the world where you have the most opportunities and freedoms? Why wouldn't they want to come over here? But if they're going to come over here, let them become Americans.
