Lettuce grows readily because all cultivated strains were obtained originally from the prickly lettuce (L. Serriola), an Asiatic weed.
Prominent among other wild forms are sleep-wort (L. vireos) and the familiar wild lettuce (L. canadensis), a tall, yellow-flowered herb which is often a troublesome weed.
Mature compost humus or well-rotted manure should be dug in along the row before the seed is sown. In transplanting proper soil preparation is a must. A generous amount of organic humus should be worked into the hole before the plant is set out.
For a good potting mixture, sift together one part sand, one part good loam and one part compost. Keep moist and, when the seedlings have at least their first set of true leaves, transplant to plant bands or flats. Gradually harden off the plants by setting them outdoors during the sunny part of the day.
In the flats, the seed should be thinly sown and the seedlings thinned just as soon as the leaves touch. Probably no fault is more universal than sowing lettuce seed too thickly.
Setting the transplants out very early is essential. In fact, some gardeners make a practice of sowing their lettuce seed in the fall in a carefully prepared area. The seedlings become fairly large before severe frost. As cold weather approaches, the seedlings are covered with a gradually deepened layer of loose straw, leaves, twigs, or other materials. Under this, the small plants survive the winter easily and the gardener has a heavy supply of sturdy, very early seedlings upon which to draw.
When transplanting the young plants, put them about 15 inches apart in the row in rows about two feet apart. When seed is sown directly into the garden, the seedlings should be ruthlessly thinned to stand at least a foot apart to prevent overcrowding.
A slightly heavier framework may be made to support a thin layer of brush, or a slat roof in which the slats are alternated with spaces about equal to the width of the slats. Any such arrangement which excludes excessive sunlight will usually produce the coolness necessary to the plants if they are to form satisfactory heads. Some gardeners make good use of a partially shaded spot in the garden as a favored site for lettuce.
Cutworms may be outwitted if loose collars of stiff paper are put on the seedlings when they are planted. The collars are made about one to 1 1/2 inches in diameter and are wide enough so that when 1/2 inch is buried in the soil an inch or more remains as a barricade above ground.
If slugs are a problem, limestone or wood ashes may be sprinkled over the soil around the plants to discourage them. In a wet season when slugs are very bad, do not use small baskets or boxes to cover newly planted seedlings.
Loose-leaf types should be cut off at ground level and the roots left in the soil. Later in the season the roots will send up new leaves for a second crop.
Butterhead These form a soft head, yellow almost to the center with dark outer leaves. Most varieties of Bibb lettuce mature in 60 to 70 days and have loosely folded leaves. Ford-hook and Dark Green Boston mature in 80 days and are known for their excellent flavor.
Cabbagehead This type is slightly more heat resistant than the butterhead varieties. Premier Great Lakes is resistant to heat and tip burn. Great Lakes stands up well in hot weather.
Celtuce This lettuce is grown for its thick stem rather than the leaves. Celtuce matures in 80 days, producing a vegetable with two or three times the vitamin C content of normal lettuce.
Cos or Romaine These form a tall, elongated head and have a leaf shaped some-what like the bowl of a spoon. Paris White is the favorite of this type. It matures in 80 days.
Loose-leaf, nonheading This type is best for home gardens since it can be grown where temperatures are too high for heading types. Grand Rapids is a crisp variety maturing in 45 days. Black-seeded Simpson is a brittle, crisp variety with a delicate flavor. Oak Leaf matures in about 40 days.

Winner's Podiums - where are they?
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Really? No podium For winners to stand on? Especially at State Championships? Winners stood on coolers and other objects. SAFETY!!!!! That is really pathetic! A few other races this year were the same way. Is this a requirement of the people putting on the race? Why doesn't BRAC provide a podium for winners? It wouldn't be hard to make one and keep it in the trailer used at all of the races. Pull it out when unpacking at each race.Using coolers and other unsafe objects makes races look so cheap and makes the winners feel less like winners.
Get it together BRAC. It shouldn't cost much money at all to make a nice traveling wood podium for 1st, 2nd , and 3rd place finishers. Give me the money and I will make one at a reasonable cost. GEESH!

if anyone's seen the "race kit" recently, it is in terrible shape. most of that stuff has to be 10+ years old. Most of the signage is bent/rusty/flimsy/falling apart. The podium blocks haven't been painted in who knows how long. It's the most ghetto looking mess I've seen in a long time. Most of it has long outlived its usefulness. It's too bad they chose to put so much membership money into a controversial and poorly implemented timing system, rather than earmark some of it to upgrading the race kit.
Enough of this crap already!

Funny, I didn't see "Anonymous" on the ballot at the last BRAC Board of Directors election. If you want to see changes, run for a board seat and make change happen! And as some others have said, roll up your sleeves and offer to pitch in and help update the race kit. As BRAC members, it is OUR race kit after all. About $5 worth of paint would probably do the trick on the podium boxes. As far as the timing system goes, yes it was expensive, however it seems to be working very well now. So was the trailer, gas to pull the trailer, other computer equipment, etc. Keep in mind that BRAC is run by a dedicated group of mainly volunteers and the only paid folks are part time and doing a hell of a job. Stop by Mr. McGee's office in Golden sometime and air your opinions in person why don't you? Just quit with the constant whining - it's OLD news!!

Dear Mr Bike Racer.....get off the internet and do it yourself. We paid an annual fee for them to take care of these things. It is not a Volunteer duty. We pay an organization to give us quality racing and appearance. I see plenty of pictures of races in other states and their podiums are top notch. Makes a race worth racing and trying to win. If someone comes on here and says that is a stupid reason to race, why do they do it in big pro races? Gets billing and puts your SPONSOR up in the limelight. Remember them (unless you are unattached)? Helps you have a team and cuts costs and gives you bennies. Remember them? A chewed up podium or a "cooler" sure makes your team sponsor feel good about their name being shown. Seems to me if we have to pay TWO annual fees, we should get our money's worth in this area.

The race paid close to $1000 in ACA fees. Plus timing and officials fees.
What do they get from ACA for that amount? Numbers, pins and access to the race kit. Luckily this race us near it. Would be nice if ACA had a trailer and would haul it out to races like the timing system.

Fiction with Faustine: A Journey Into The World Of Moroccan Soccer: Part 5
Junior Faustine Dufka of the women's soccer team recently wrote this fictional soccer story for one of her classes. She has decided to share her piece with Husky Nation by releasing two parts a week. Read part five below.
"Hello?" said an older woman's voice at the end of the line.
"Yes...Hello. Is this Mrs. Mdaghri?" Was this Hassan's wife? Or did I have the wrong number? All the confidence I had mustered up before calling suddenly disappeared into thin air, leaving me nervous and starting to regret the entire undertaking. The pay phone was shaking slightly in my hand, and I could feel the plastic digging into my ear uncomfortably. The traffic in the street made it difficult to hear her little voice.
"Yes, may I as who is calling please?"
I cleared my throat and deepened my tone, praying that my higher-pitched, teenage voice wouldn't give me away immediately. "Hi, my name is Mohammed El Hachmi, from the Gazette de Casablanca. I am reporting on the death of Larbi Ben Barek, and I'd love to have the chance to speak with your husband. I understand they were quite close. Would there be a good time for me to talk to him?" The speech I had rehearsed a million times before the call came out easily, helping me regain enough self-assurance to not hang up the phone immediately.
There was no way anyone would take a sixteen-year old boy seriously, so I had to come up with an identity that would give me sufficient credibility to get in contact with Hassan. Then, I would tell him the truth about how I had found him, and personally deliver Monsieur Larbi's last letter. I set up a time to meet with Mr. Hassan Mdaghri the following week. I would have to take the train to Rabat from the Casablanca Port Station, and of course, skip school that day.
Right before the start of the match, the coach of the Lyc?©e Fran�ais team had walked over to shake Ahmed's hand, with a condescending smirk that made Ahmed boil with rage. The play field was the one place where Ahmed refused to concede anything to the French. He always coached his boys to play fair, because he believed playing dirty didn't get you anywhere, in football, or in life. Despite Murad's absence, he knew his team would put up a great fight, no matter the outcome of the game.
The referee blew the whistle, and the boys started moving the ball around on the dirt surface. A few of his players had old, ripped cleats, but most were wearing tennis shoes or even sandals. The French boys, on the other hand, all had shiny, brand new boots. The two teams were fairly even. While the Lyc?©e boys could string together more passes, they did not have as much raw, individual talent, developed from years of playing pickup games in the streets. The white boys played "pretty" soccer, as Ahmed commonly joked with his team, who was much tougher. They always left practice with cuts on their knees and new bruises on their shins: shinguards were an expensive piece of equipment that belonged to the school and were used for games only.
As the match wore on, the score was still 0-0. Both teams had missed multiple opportunities to finish. The time on the clock showed that there were only four minutes left to play. There was something about ties that Ahmed hated, but he had never been able to put a finger on it. Someone had to score... if only Murad had been there!
Karim had been playing very well and Ahmed was impressed with his natural talent. Ahmed would make sure to recruit Karim for the team when he entered high school next year. The brothers had the same style of play--excellent foot skills and fast-paced passes. It must run in the family, he thought to himself.
All of a sudden, Tarik was dribbling down the left side at full speed. Scissor right, cut left, and he had flown by the defender. Before the center back could reach him, Tarik curled a beautiful ball into the penalty box. Usually, there weren't any players in the box to finish his crosses, but Karim had gotten there in time! As the ball curved away from the goalie's hands, Karim jumped above all the defenders and headed it into the back of the net. GOAAAL!
While the ball was hitting the back of the net, Karim's cap was flying in midair, revealing a ponytail of curly brown hair bobbing up and down as the girl landed. Ahmed gasped, while the crowd was exuberantly cheering for the goal that would give the local boys the win, their attention fixed on the celebration. Before the fans had the time to notice what had happened, she was already gone, sprinting down the street.
Ahmed yelled at her to wait, but she ignored him. Following her was out of the question; he knew quite well he could not be seen chasing a young girl down the street.
"Attends!" He tried again, hoping the French would convey a stronger sense of authority, but to no avail. She had already been enveloped by clouds of dust in the distance, yet Ahmed was determined to find her.
That morning, I woke up earlier than usual. I ate breakfast with my father, like I did every morning before school. While I was eating, my mother handed me a few snacks to put in my backpack: a small bag containing dried apricots and dates, fresh figs, and almonds. The treats looked delicious; I would have to restrain myself from devouring them immediately. I knew I had a long day ahead of me and would want to save these provisions for later in the day. On my way out of the house, I yelled, "Mom, I might be a little late from school today, because I agreed to help Mr. Laumaill?© reorganize the library shelves!" It seemed like a good idea to give myself a small margin of error in case the train was late on my way home.
After everyone had left the field, Ahmed headed straight to Tarik's home. He knew the boy's family quite well because he had coached their son since middle school.
Tarik's father opened the door, unlatching the flavors of fish braised in sweet apricots and dates. The fruity sensations were smoothly intertwined with the fiery aromas of cinnamon, paprika, and cayenne, making Ahmed's nose tickle with desire. He wondered if Tarik's family was having a celebratory dinner after the victory.
"Good evening, Yassine!"
"Welcome, Coach Ahmed! Great work tonight! Tarik came home thrilled about the win."
"Thank you," Ahmed responded. "The... ahem...boys...played very hard." He accidentally stumbled on the word. "They deserved it. Could I please have a quick word with Tarik? I'd like to congratulate him on the way he played."
"Of course, let me get him."
Tarik appeared at the door a few seconds later, as if expecting Ahmed's visit. Ahmed immediately detected the uneasiness in Tarik's strained countenance. They stepped outside of the steamy kitchen onto the sidewalk, into the privacy of the calm, evening breeze.
The streets were almost empty, but not quite. You could see a few children lingering aimlessly in the distance, kicking small rocks down the dusty street with their bare feet. Ahmed knew, sadly, that those who were out at this time of day had nowhere to be, nobody waiting for them with a warm, home-cooked meal. Ahmed wished he had the ability to help these children whom he knew would be sleeping outside, huddled behind a dumpster in the chilly nighttime air. If only the government did a better job to help its homeless youth!
"Tarik, I need to know who your friend was. She played marvelously, and I would like to offer her a position on my girls A.C.D.A. team." Ahmed firmly gripped Tarik's shoulder as he said this. He knew the boy would be easily convinced; he was too shy to argue.

The half sister of Drew Barrymore was found dead in her car on Tuesday, and the actress has now made a statement about the sudden death of the sibling that she barely knew. In a statement to People on Wednesday, Barrymore said, "Although I only met her briefly, I wish her and her loved ones as much peace as possible, and I'm so incredibly sorry for their loss."
Drew's half sister, Jessica Barrymore, who would have turned 48 year old on July 31, was reportedly found dead in her car with a large number of white pills scattered around the passenger's seat.
The two women had the same father, actor John Drew Barrymore, who passed away in 2004. But it's really no surprise that the "50 First Dates" actress wasn't close with her sister Jessica. Barrymore famously became emancipated from her parents, John and Jaid, at age 15 and she's been vocal about the fact that the relatives of her husband Will Kopleman and her best friend Cameron Diaz are the people whom she considers to be her true family.
In an interview earlier this year with Marie Claire, the 38-year-old movie star talked about how grateful she was to become part of Kopleman's family when she married him."I didn't think I would ever get to experience that," she said of the Kopelman family's bond. "This is so safe and positive and healthy because they have their values intact. It was huge for me. "
Barrymore has also gone on record as saying she can't really have her own mother in her life anymore, and she previously revealed to Oprah Winfrey that it was a mutual decision that Jaid didn't attend her wedding to Kopelman back in 2012.
As for her siblings, in a 2010 interview with the Telegraph, Drew Barrymore laughed awkwardly when asked if she speaks to half siblings John, Blyth Dolores and Jessica. "No," she said, followed by a period of silence. Then she added, "Occasionally."
Jessica Barrymore was the daughter John Barrymore and his third wife Nina Wayne.

THERMAL PROPERTIES(i)
The transfer of heat is a very important factor to understand and to be able to control during the processing and storage of many food and agricultural products. There are a number of thermal properties that must be understood for the successful process design of all procedures that involve heating and cooling of foods.
Specific Heat
The most basic thermal property is specific heat (cp). The p subscript
indicates that the value is the specific heat at constant pressure. The specific heat of
any material is the amount of heat required to raise one unit of mass of the material by
one degree. The most commonly used units for specific heat are kJ/(kg-K), Btu/(lb-F), and
cal/(g-K). An important equation relating specific heat, mass of the sample (M), the
amount of heat that must be added (Q), and the initial and final temperatures of the
sample (T1 and T2) is seen below.
There are several equations that can be used to predict unknown specific heats for food and agricultural products. The first two equations are based on the wet basis moisture content (M) of the product. Wet basis moisture content, introduced here, will be covered more extensively in a later section. For the sake of these equations use wet basis moisture content in decimal (rather than percentage) form. These equations predict specific heat in kJ/(kg-K).
Above freezing: cp = 0.837 + 3.348M
Below freezing: cp = 0.837 + 1.256M
Another equation commonly used to estimate the specific heat for foods in kJ/(kg-K) takes into account the mass fraction (X) of all of the solids that compose the product. As seen as subscripts in the following equation, w is water, p protein, f fat, c carbohydrate, and a ash.
cp = 4.180Xw + 1.711Xp + 1.928Xf + 1.547Xc + 0.908Xa
Thermal Conductivity
Thermal conductivity (k) is another important thermal property. Normally expressed in the units W/(m-K) or Btu/(h-ft-F), it is a property that tells how well a material conducts heat. Heat conduction is the transfer of energy between neighboring molecules within a material. The following equation relates the thermal conductivity to the amount of heat that flows through the material per unit of time (dQ/dt), the cross sectional area of the material through which the heat flows (A), and the temperature difference per unit of length of the conducting material (dT/dx).
Thermal conductivity can be greatly influenced by a number of factors such as the water content, porosity, and even fiber orientation of the material. However, there are a couple of equations that allow for the estimation of k when experimental data are not available. The following equation yields the best results when used at higher moisture contents. It relates the weight fraction of water Xw, thermal conductivity of water kw, and the thermal conductivity of the solids portion of the material ks, which is assumed to be 0.259 W/(m-K).
k = kwXw + ks(1 Xw)
Below is another equation for estimating thermal conductivity. It is only considered useful for materials containing greater than 50% water.
k = 0.056 + 0.57 Xw
Thermal Diffusivity
Thermal Diffusivity (a) is a thermal property to describe a homogeneous, isotropic material where k, r, and cp are constant throughout the material for the entire temperature range being considered. This quantity reveals the materials ability to conduct heat relative to its ability to store heat. Thermal diffusivity is equal to k/(r*cp) and is usually expressed in the units of m2/s or ft2/s. Its primary use is in the following partial differential equation, Fouriers general law of heat conduction. This equation expresses the temperature (T) variation within a three dimensional object (x,y,z)
Thermal Diffusivity can also be estimated based on the weight fraction of its water, fat, protein, and carbohydrate components using the following equation.
a = 0.146*10-6Xw + 0.100*10-6Xf + 0.075*10-6Xp + 0.082*10-6Xc
Latent Heat
Latent heat (L) is the heat that is exchanged with a material during a phase change, when the heat exchanged does not result in a change in the temperature of the material. The units for latent heat are kJ/kg or Btu/lb. Latent heat is usually subdivided into latent heat of freezing and latent heat of vaporization. An example of latent heat of freezing is the 335 kJ that 1 kg of water releases while maintaining its temperature at 0 C when changing from the liquid to the solid state. Latent heat of vaporization is represented by the 2257 kJ that 1 kg of water must absorb while temperature remains constant at 100 C to evaporate from liquid into vapor. Latent heat can represent a huge expenditure of energy in food processing when freezing or evaporation is involved. Latent heat is best determined through experimentation, but it also can be estimated based on the mass fraction of water in the product.
L = 335Xw

Ninth Circuit Panel Makes it More Difficult for Public Agencies to Recover Attorneys Fees Expended in Defending Unmeritorious Civil Rights and Employment Discrimination Lawsuits
A three judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion which will make it more difficult for local governments to recover attorneys fees they expend defending against unmeritorious civil rights and employment discrimination lawsuits. The law has long been clear that while a plaintiff who prevails in such a lawsuit will almost always recover his or her attorneys fees, a prevailing defendant is only entitled to recover attorneys fees if the court finds the plaintiff's claims were "unreasonable, frivolous, meritless or vexatious." The new case, Fabbrini v. City of Dunsmuir, 2011 slip. op. 2317 (9th Cir 2011) addresses a defendant's right to recover fees when a complaint contains both claims for which attorneys fees are available and non-frivolous claims for which fees are not recoverable.
In an earlier case, Tutor-Saliba Corp. v. City of Hailey 452 F.3d 1055 (9th Cir 2006), the Ninth Circuit had rejected an argument that the mere presence of some non-frivolous claims barred a defendant from recovering fees expended in defending the frivolous claims at least where there is a clear basis to determine what work was performed for what claims. However, the court left open the question of what to do "where frivolous claims are combined with non-frivolous claims and the claims are not sufficiently distinct." Id. at 1064, fn. 4. In Fabbrini, the court appears to have held that those fees are not recoverable.
In Fabbrini, the plaintiff pursued state and federal law civil rights claims all of which were eventually dismissed. Even though the federal claims were dismissed, there was no finding that they were frivolous. The district court awarded the defendant the attorneys fees it incurred in prosecuting an anti-SLAPP motion to dismiss the state law based claims. In addition to those fees, the district court had also awarded approximately $ 8,000.00 for work that was performed that was related to the arguably non-frivolous federal claims but was also "inextricably intertwined with" the work that was performed defending the state law claims for which fees were available. The district court was following a long line of decisions holding that a plaintiff who prevails on claim for which fees are available can also recover fees for work preformed on claims where fees are not available if the claims are sufficiently intertwined such that "the time spent on the claims could not reasonably be divided" See, Armstrong v. Davis, 318 F.3d 965, 975 (9th Cir. 2003). Thus, for example, if a plaintiff were to pursue four civil rights claims but only prevail as to one, he or she could still recover fees for all of the time spent conducting discovery that would be relevant to all four claims. In Fabbrini, the court held this principle does not work in reverse.
In rejecting the award of the additional fees, the court adopted a per se rule that where there are non-frivolous federal civil rights claims present, attorneys fees cannot be awarded to a prevailing defendant unless the fees are "exclusively attributable" to the claims for which fees are available. For example, if a plaintiff includes four clearly frivolous claims with one arguably non-frivolous claim, Fabrinni gives rise to an argument that any discovery, investigative work or motion practice incurred defending against the frivolous claims is not recoverable if the work can also be related to the one non-frivolous claim. Thus the presence of a single non-frivolous claim can be used to defeat or severely limit a fees motion brought by a prevailing defendant even where the majority of the plaintiff's case is clearly frivolous.

8/29: American Antiwar Movement Plans an Autumn Campaign on Afghanistan
American Antiwar Movement Plans an Autumn Campaign Against Policies on Afghanistan
JAMES DAO - New York Tims
August 29, 2009
A restive antiwar movement, largely dormant since the election ofBarack Obama, is preparing a nationwide campaign this fall to challenge the administration's policies on Afghanistan.
Anticipating a Pentagon request for more troops there, antiwar leaders have engaged in a flurry of meetings to discuss a month of demonstrations, lobbying, teach-ins and memorials in October to publicize the casualty count, raise concerns about the cost of the war and pressure Congress to demand an exit strategy.
But they face a starkly changed political climate from just a year ago, when President George W. Bush provided a lightning rod for protests. The health care battle is consuming the resources of labor unions and other core Democratic groups. American troops are leaving Iraq, defusing antiwar sentiments in some quarters. The recession has hurt fund-raising for peace groups and forced them to slash budgets. And, perhaps most significant, many liberals continue to support Mr. Obama, or at least are hesitant about openly criticizing him.
"People do not want to take on the administration," said Jon Soltz, chairman ofVoteVets.org. "Generating the kind of money that would be required to challenge the president's policies just isn't going to happen."
Tom Andrews, national director for an antiwar coalition, Win Without War, said most liberals "want this guy to succeed." But he said the antiwar movement would try to convince liberals that a prolonged war would undermine Mr. Obama's domestic agenda. Afghanistan, he said, "could be a devastating albatross around the president's neck."
But there is also a sense among some antiwar advocates that Mr. Obama's honeymoon with Democrats in general and liberals in particular is ending. As evidence, they point to a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll showing that 51 percent of Americans now feel the war in Afghanistan is not worth fighting, a 10-point increase since March. The poll had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.
"We're coming out of a low period," said Medea Benjamin, co-founder of the antiwar group Code Pink. "But as progressives feel more comfortable protesting against the Obama administration and challenging Democrats as well as Republicans in Congress, then we'll be back on track."
The Obama administration has opposed legislation requiring an exit strategy, saying it needs time to develop new approaches to the war. "Given his own impatience for progress, the president has demanded benchmarks to track our progress and ensure that we are moving in the right direction," a White House official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The October protest schedule is expected to include marches in Washington and elsewhere. But organizers acknowledge that it may be difficult to recruit large numbers of demonstrators. So groups like United for Peace and Justice are also planning smaller events in communities around the country, including teach-ins with veterans and families of deployed troops, lobbying sessions with members of Congress, film screenings and ad hoc memorials featuring the boots of deceased soldiers and Marines.
"There are some that feel betrayed" by Mr. Obama, said Nancy Lessin, a founder of the group Military Families Speak Out. "There are some who feel that powerful forces are pushing the president to stay on this course and that we have to build a more powerful movement to change that course."
The October actions will be timed not only to the eighth anniversary of the first American airstrikes on Taliban forces and the seventh anniversary of Congressional authorization for invading Iraq, but also an anticipated debate in Congress over sending more troops to Afghanistan. Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, the commander of American forces in Afghanistan, is widely expected to request additional troops, beyond the 68,000 projected for the end of the year, after finalizing a policy review in the next few weeks.
The antiwar movement consists of dozens of organizations representing pacifists, veterans, military families, labor unions and religious groups, and they hardly speak with one voice. Some groups like Iraq Veterans Against the War have started shifting their focus toward Afghanistan, passing resolutions demanding an immediate withdrawal of troops from there. Others, like VoteVets.org, support the American military presence in Afghanistan, calling it crucial to fighting terrorism.
And some groups, including Moveon.org, have yet to take a clear position on Afghanistan beyond warning that war drains resources from domestic programs.
"There is not the passion around Afghanistan that we saw around Iraq," said Ilyse Hogue,Moveon.org's spokeswoman. "But there are questions."
There are also signs that some groups that have been relatively quiet on Afghanistan are preparing to become louder. U.S. Labor Against the War, a network of nearly 190 union affiliates that has been focused on Iraq, is "moving more into full opposition to the continuing occupation" of Afghanistan, said Michael Eisenscher, the group's national coordinator.
"President Obama risks his entire domestic agenda, just as Johnson did in Vietnam, in pursuing this course of action in Afghanistan," Mr. Eisenscher said.
Handfuls of antiwar protestors can still be seen on Capitol Hill, outside state office buildings and around college campuses. Cindy Sheehan, for instance, has set up her vigil on Martha's Vineyard while Mr. Obama vacations there. But many advocates say a lower-key approach may be more effective in winning support right now.
An example of that strategy is an Internet film titled "Rethink Afghanistan," which is being produced and released in segments by the political documentary filmmaker Robert Greenwald. In six episodes so far, Mr. Greenwald has used interviews with academics, Afghans and former C.I.A. operatives to raise questions about civilian casualties, women's rights, the cost of war and whether it has made the United States safer.
The episodes, some as short as two minutes, are circulated via Twitter, YouTube, Facebookand blogs. Antiwar groups are also screening them with members of Congress. Mr. Greenwald, who has produced documentaries about Wal-Mart and war profiteers, said the film represented a "less incendiary" approach influenced by liberal concerns that he not attack Mr. Obama directly.
"We lost funding from liberals who didn't want to criticize Obama," he said. "It's been lonely out there."
Code Pink is trying to build opposition to the war among women's groups, some of which argue that women will suffer if the Taliban returns. In September, a group of Code Pink organizers will visit Kabul to encourage Afghan women to speak out against the American military presence there.
And Iraq Veterans Against the War is using the Web to circulate episodes of a documentary, "This Is Where We Take Our Stand," filmed in 2008 at its Winter Soldier conference, at which veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan testified about civilian casualties, combat stress and other tolls of the wars.
The group's leaders say they do not expect many people to take to the barricades against the administration any time soon. But that will change, they argue, as the death toll continues to rise.
"In the next year, it will more and more become Obama's war," said Perry O'Brien, president of the New York chapter of Iraq Veterans Against the War. "He'll be held responsible for the bloodshed."

How about actually enforcing the existing rules instead of trying to come up with new ones?
There's no point in making new rules if the cruise lines won't even enforce existing ones.

Nice poll – but would be interested to see what people wanted changed … seems like the discussions around dress code in the forums are pretty split between "dress code doesn't matter" and "guys should wear a jacket, not just a collared shirt".

I would actually like to see no smoking in the casino….or at least a full day of non smoking.We had to leave so many times last week.
March 27th, 2013 @ 1:31 pm
I totally agree with the no smoking in the casino. I've never been able to go in or near a casino on any cruise ship because of the smoke. Or perhaps an offering of a smoke free cruise a few times a year. That would be refreshing.
March 27th, 2013 @ 2:42 pm
I would LOVE non-smoking cruises. That way, I could enjoy all areas of the ship without having to worry about my health.
March 28th, 2013 @ 8:12 am
I understand their policies on alcohol – they do want to make money. Cruiselines are a for-profit business after all. However, the ships I go on do not carry Cruzan Rum. I wish I could bring it on in some capacity – I'd pay for it, I'd bring it and then pay per drink for goodness sake. But it's my drink of choice and wish there were a way I could legally bring it on without fear of the 'naughty room'
March 28th, 2013 @ 2:16 pm
No options about enforced chair-hogging prevention? Really?
March 30th, 2013 @ 1:09 am
Great idea with the smoke free…..while we're at it, lets ban all fatty foods, red meat and well anything else (allegedly) bad for us while we are at it. If being around smoke during a casino for 7 days makes you worry about your health I suggest you don't breath the air in any major city in America. Oh btw, lets take the spoons away from fat people too.
Personally, I agree with the dress code issues. We are here to have fun and enjoy but part of the experience is to dress the part. If you don't want to dress the part then don't join the show.
March 31st, 2013 @ 2:28 pm
I think if people have issues with the BYO alcohol, they should think about why they are going on the cruise in the first place. The cruise line needs to make money. Like restaurants, bars and other establishments that serve alcohol, that is where they make profit.. If they can't make money, they will have to raise prices or reduce services in other areas…

Alcohol prices are over the top. Last cruise black tie nights every 3 nights was a joke. I was there to relax, not to worry about dressing up.
Tina Day
April 7th, 2013 @ 3:54 pm
You can take your own alcohol into any hotel room on the planet.Most people still buy a drink or two at the hotel bar as well so the hotel is still making its money. A ship is just a floating hotel after all so I dont see the big deal about BYO alcohol to drink in your own cabin. Lighten up cruise companies!

In this Mommy Minute, a review of the memoir 'In the Neighborhood' by Peter Lovenheim.
In the Neighborhood was a thought-provoking book that had me thinking about the way we live our lives today, what's important and what I myself am looking for.
I live in a neighborhood where there are, or were, neighborhood gatherings, which we went to when we moved in eight years ago. I don't know if they stopped having them or stopped inviting us but the neighborhood feels less friendly for sure. I know my neighbors enough to stop and say hi at local stores and restaurants where they fill me in on gossip and I suppose facts, like why my mailman stops so long down the street- a neighbor is having an affair with him that has turned into an engagement which all apparently started we the mailman asking on his route, "why isn't your husband weeding the garden for you." That started a conversation that turned into a romance that turned into an engagement that turned into them adding on to their house and an upcoming wedding. All I saw was the post office truck parked there longer and longer six days a week.
Not only did the book have me thinking about my neighborhood and my house but about the way we live today. Technology keeps me connected with friends I've had for years when I lived elsewhere. It has made me feel connected. But the book made me wonder if that was also a detriment. Has that feeling of connection together with a busy life raising three young kids and a new career kept me from making friends where I now live? I don't know. I know most of my coworkers much like I know my neighbors- in passing. My previous life working in TV news kept me in tune with what happened all over the cities I lived in but also kept me in a real community based on interests and professional lifestyle, different from the 9 to 5 world. Without that, I don't know what to do. And it made me wonder about things in the book, like how neighborhoods used to be made up of like-minded people (or does it just seem that way now with the gloss of history). Sandringham Road in Rochester, New York (where the book takes place) drew CEOs and doctors. But I don't think there is a common thread like that where I live or ever have lived. We have a home schooling religious family, local government workers, teachers, professors, retired people, etc. We live on the same street but do not live the same or similar lives. Does that matter?
I loved this book and thought how awesome it would be to buy a copy to give to each neighbor on my street while I was reading it. But by the time I finished I wondered if I even wanted to live where I live anymore. Is there a way to find a neighborhood feel like the one the author longed for and found myself longing for too? I wondered if it is possible to find today in a place where the school zones are rigged awkwardly so that the closest neighborhood school isn't our zone and so many people, including ourselves until this year, opt for charter schools instead if the neighborhood school. I had hoped that the author would have explored other neighborhoods in his book as well, like ones he used to live in to broaden the perspective.
But maybe it doesn't matter. Maybe the conclusion that he came to in the end, that it is about effort to know the people next door, is all that matters? It left me wondering about setting up a Facebook group for my neighbors like I have for my kids' school. I wonder if a digital front lawn would make me and them feel like we do have more of a connection or if to find that connection, I need to move to a place where I have more in common with the people I live near.
I'm also inspired to take this idea to my students and have them do mini documentaries on their neighbors because when all is said and done – it would be a reason to purposefully get to know your neighbors and you never know what different that could make in your life, as Lovenheim points out in the book.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and give it five stars for its well-written conversational tone, interesting topic, and thought-provoking nature.

For the week of
January 25, 2013
- carolinajournal.com
Reaction of the Week
RALEIGH — Replacing North Carolina's existing income, corporate, sales,
and estate taxes with a new consumed-income tax dubbed the USA Tax could generate 80,500 new jobs in the first year, while boosting the state's economy by $11.76 billion.
Those numbers are based on an outside analysis of tax reform proposals included in the John Locke Foundation's new book, First in Freedom: Transforming Ideas Into Consequences for North Carolina.
JLF is set to release the book as new North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory
and a Republican-led General Assembly turn their attention to potential
tax reforms.
Even a scaled-back version of the USA Tax, combined with a slight
lowering of the sales tax rate and elimination of income, corporate, and
estate taxes, would lead to a $4 billion economic impact and 10,000 new
jobs in the first year, according to the analysis from the Beacon Hill
Institute at Suffolk University in Boston.
"It is our belief, backed up by economic theory and quantitative
analysis, that the proposals made here to transform North Carolina's
income tax into a consumption-based USA Tax, while abolishing the
state's corporate and estate taxes, has the potential to generate strong
incentives for businesses in the state to expand while attracting and
stimulating new investment, economic growth, and job creation," writes
Dr. Roy Cordato, JLF Vice President for Research and Resident Scholar.
An Unlimited Savings Allowance, or USA, Tax, would fundamentally change
the way North Carolina collects taxes, Cordato said. "By taking saved
income out of the tax base, both the principal and the interest are
taxed, but only once when they are ultimately spent."
CJ: Competing tax plans seek to stimulate investmentRALEIGH — Efforts are under way to make North
Carolina the first state since Alaska in 1980 to eliminate taxes on
total personal income. Competing proposals also would launch a
pro-growth tax reform renaissance that would scrap corporate income
taxes that discourage capital investment and savings.
CJ: GOP lawmakers to give voter ID bill another tryRALEIGH — North Carolinians should expect the
General Assembly to pass a strict voter ID bill in 2013, and it will be
one that will pass federal and judicial scrutiny, a chairman of the
House Elections Committee said.
CJ: NCCU IT director accepted illegal paymentsRALEIGH — A state audit has revealed that the
N.C. Central University Law School's information technology and
facilities director was given improper supplemental benefits to the tune
of $59,271 during the last decade.
CJ: N.C. raw milk consumers go out of stateRALEIGH — Selling unpasteurized milk has been
illegal in North Carolina for three decades. But that hasn't stopped
growing numbers of families around the state from going to extreme
lengths to obtain it.
Prosecutors want to crack down on corruption casesRALEIGH — Prosecutors will make another run at persuading
the state legislature to give them more power to go after corrupt public
officials and complex financial crimes.

I'm still lurking around...
Sunday, May 05, 2013
I haven't disappeared this time, I just haven't been blogging. I've made an awesome new friend on here, and she and I have been messaging instead of my posting blogs. But, I did want to post one this evening.
For the last couple weeks I have been about 50/50 for being on plan and off. It has been a HUGE improvement over how I was eating for several months, but still far from perfect. I haven't been eating as much fast food, and virtually none of the rich and sweet baked goods I was consuming daily. I haven't had a cupcake in weeks!
One really big advantage to my new friend is that she's great motivation. She has lost 40 lbs since Nov, and that's when I joined. So I can't help but think... maybe I could have lost 40 lbs too! And, for sure, I could have not GAINED any lbs. But, I did. Now the trick is turning around in my mind how I frame this. Instead of seeing myself as 40 lost lbs behind, I have to see it as a new start to lose 40 lbs.
I'm not setting huge, lofty goals. My first goal is to walk tomorrow with The Buddy. I hadn't had any contact with her months, and I figured she wouldn't want to talk to me again. But she messaged me, and now we have a date set up to walk. At 7 am, that's gonna be rough. But I know it's what I need. I need to get my day started off on the right foot. For that matter, I need to get my week started off on the right foot.
I'm also going to be much more careful about what I eat. More produce, less carbs. I'm doing okay on the protein, but I know I am way over doing it on the delicious carby food. I need to stop doing that, not only for weightloss, but for my diabetes as well. It's Spring and fresh veggies are starting to pop up, so I need to make use of them. Right now I have some summer squash, zucchini and a bell pepper I bought to roast or grill. I also have some fresh baby spinach I'm going to cook.
One way I'm helping myself on the eating front is by selecting recipes from here at SP. I have made several, and have several more lined up to make. It's an easy way to pick something healthy for dinner. Today was a turkey sausage breakfast casserole. Tomorrow is a little more experimental -- Vegetarian Lentil Loaf. I've never had lentil loaf, but I'm pretty excited to try it. I'm gonna make either some roasted veggies or some sauteed spinach to go with it.
I hope everyone had a healthy week last week and is ready to attack this week, full steam ahead.

Overexposure has always been the bane of photographers, be they the film or digital variety. If using negative film, moderate overexposure could be easily handled when printing. But overexpose a slide film and colors, details, and especially bright areas would become washed out, with subsequent loss of detail and quality. The same goes for digital, where overexposure creates interference and causes the sensor to drop out detail and create crossovers (artifacts, odd colors) when an attempt to fix the image in image-editing software is made. Until now photographers would have to always bias their digital exposures toward the highlights, much as if they were exposing slide film. This controlled the highlight problem, but often at the expense of shadow detail. No photographer can properly handle gross overexposure, or deliver both bright highlights and deep shadow detail in one image, without controlling exposure and development carefully.

PULLMAN, Wash. - Washington State University added shoulder pads to their fall camp practice on Rogers Field Saturday afternoon.
The Cougars worked out for a little over two hours under the sun, continuing their preparations for the 2012 season. Head coach Mike Leach and his staff dialed up the intensity with the addition of shoulder pads after spending the past two practices in just helmets.
WSU opened practice with a couple one-on-one matchups in the center of the practice field before they split off into individual drills and later worked through some team segments. In 7-vs.-7, freshman David Bucannon (younger brother of Deone) picked off a pass on the east field while redshirt senior Daniel Simmons made an interception of his own on the west field.
During 11-vs.-11, both the offense and defense traded big plays with defensive back Mike McAdie corralling a tipped pass to record an interception for the defense before running back Teondray Caldwell broke off a long run that brought some big cheers from the offensive players.Towards the end of the day, quarterback Connor Halliday connected to Gino Simone for a touchdown.
The Cougars will again practice with shoulder pads tomorrow at 2:45 p.m. on Rogers Field. There were a couple good pops today but there will be more once the team goes full pads Monday.

CLEVELAND, O.H. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — Nearly 90 percent of people with type-two diabetes are obese and as more Americans gain weight, more will likely face a diabetes diagnosis. In fact, the American diabetes association predicts that one in three adults will have diabetes by the year 2050.
For years, we've heard about weight loss surgery and its effect on diabetes. Now, a new study is showing how well the popular surgery is working to stop this serious disease.
For most of his life, Tim Feree was overweight, tired and frustrated with his health, especially his type-two diabetes.
"I would check my blood sugar once or twice a day and take the pills and try to manage my diet." Feree told Ivanhoe.
But nothing worked until Feree tried gastric bypass surgery.
"By losing the weight, the patient's insulin resistance decreases and this results in a very rapid improvement in their blood sugar." Philip Schauer, Director of Bariatric and Metabolic Institute at Cleveland Clinic, told Ivanhoe.
Schauer says gastric bypass also has an effect on a patient's hormones which stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin.
"I have many patients who come to surgery who are on 100 units of insulin a day and before they leave the hospital, they are off all their insulin for the rest of their life." Dr. Schauer explained.
A recent study found just five to 10 percent of patients who had bariatric surgery required insulin compared to 55 percent who received standard care. The surgery group also needed less blood pressure and cholesterol medications.
For Tim Feree, who said goodbye to insulin and his other medications, it's a weight loss surgery that does much more.
"The day of surgery, I weighed 263 pounds. Today, I weigh about 195." Said Feree, "For me the surgery has been miraculous, it really has been."
A recent study that appeared in the journal Diabetes Care found for the first time that bariatric surgery can also improve type-one diabetes, with some patients reducing their insulin intake by more than 60 percent! MORE.

Only a month in,....so-o far no issues. Great Price, Fast delivery, free shipping was nice. Put on my Honda 2005 Honda 250 Motor Scooter.
Scott (va bch )
These rotors are well built but with one grave exception, the bolt holes are not counter bored, there fore, there is no clearance for the bolt head, it hits the inside portion of the fork tube. Now, I either send back or just get them machined so they will fit. Sending back is not worth the time or effort. I'll know better next time.
Jason Robinett (Montpelier )
Great price, great fit, just put them on so I don't know how long they will last

Took the new pistol (along with two others I'd managed not to shoot yet! :ahhhhh:) to the range yesterday (the Kahr came in to my FFL on Friday night, had to work 10 hours Saturday).
I now see completely what all the "fuss" over this little pistol is about. I got the Black Diamond finished slide, and the night sights. This thing is very much (to me anyway) like a miniature Glock (with an improved trigger). It is everything my Glock 26 tried to be, but couldn't.
It is light, and quite small. It'll actually work in the front pocket of my jeans, in a Milt Sparks pocket holster. The accuracy, while not superb, is everything I need from a small light handgun. The trigger is very nice, with expected muzzle flip at firing, but nothing more than many other small handguns of substantial caliber.
I fired 120 rounds without a hitch. This was 100 rds. Winchester White Box, and 20 rounds of Gold Dot hollow points. The next range session will consist of at least 80 rounds of some type of hollow point (L.E. choices are my preference, either Gold Dots, Winchester Rangers or Federal HST). Kahr states the weapon requires a 200 rd. break in, and should not be considered reliable until then (next Sunday will see me at the range if my ammo gets here in time :yup:). Then, I'll have a good option in between my Kel Tec P3AT, and the Springfield Micro Compact .

CPU bechmark test with Intel's latest Core i7
Intel Core i7-950 reviewed
PC Games Hardware tests Intel's Core i7-950 and compares its performance to the capabilities of other processors.
Intel Core i7-950 reviewed: Introduction
In this brief review PC Games Hardware checks the capabilities of the Intel Core i7-950. The processor is based on the same quad-core design, codename Bloomfield, as the other Core i7 CPUs and thus has a 45 nanometer architecture. In contrast to the Core micro architecture those are native quad-core processors and not two combined dual-cores as it is the case in the Core 2 Quad series. The most important new features are the DDR3 memory controller that was relocated into the CPU, the eight MiByte big L3 cache, the L2 cache that has been reduced to 256 KiByte as well as the reintroduced Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) and the QPI connection that replaced the classical FSB.
With the introduction of the Core i7-950
Intel will phase out the Core i7-965 XE and the Core i7-940
. The i7-950 is running at 3.06 GHz (24 x 133MHz), so Intel has increased the frequency by 133 MHz in comparison to the Core i7-940 - impressive performance benefits are not expected.
Link: Intel website
The chart below shows the most important technical specifications:
Core i7-950 reviewed: Benchmarks
In our test we compare the Core i7-950 to AMD's currently fastest Phenom II X4, the 955 Black Edition with 3.2 GHz as well as Intel's fastest core 2 Quad, the Q9650 with 3.0 GHz.
Click to select CPU
Core i7-950
Phenom II X4 955 BE
In Race Driver: Grid, which is rather challenging for the CPU, the Core i7-950 is able to beat the Core 2 Quad and the Phenom II X4. The same applies for World in conflict. In graphics oriented Crysis the gap between the CPUs is much smaller and the Core i7-950 is only slightly ahead of the 955 BE and the Q9650. Call of Duty 4 on the other hand delivers different results: The Core 2 Quad and the Phenom II X4 beat the Core i7-950 noticeably - possibly the small L2 cache slows the system down.
Core i7-950 reviewed: Conclusion
The Core i7-950 is - unsurprisingly - faster than the Core i7-940, but the comparatively small advantage in games compared to the Core 2 Quad Q9650 and the Phenom II X4 955 BE doesn't justify an upgrade. If you build a new system you should rather take the Core i7-920.
