It's a known fact that Hollywood hasn't exactly been very creative lately. Most of the films that arrive to theaters are unnecessary sequels, awful reboots, desperate comedies, and so on. We must admit, some movies that seem like they won't do very well end up being surprisingly cool. The latest example is "The LEGO Movie," which already has a sequel in the works. On Tuesday though, Deadline delivered the news of Hollywood's new idea: A Peeps movie.
Yes, we're talking about the marshmallow Easter candy treats. The plans for this film are serious. The source reports that there is already a screenwriter, Adam Rifkin. Cinemablend points out that "The Lego Movie" became a huge success. The Lego feature has banked over $441 million worldwide, and not everyone thought this idea was good initially. Could the same happen with Peeps though?
The movie source also reveals that there is already a plot for the film. "The plot would involve Peeps in diorama contest where one Peep is misplaced but must hustle to rejoin the rest of the crew, hopping in and out of various other dioramas," Cinemablend writes.
Rifkin is best known for his screenwriting work in "Underdog" and "Small Soldiers." Rifkin is known for family entertainment, so perhaps there's small hope for this film. And come on, Peeps are cute and very popular candies! I'm sure kids will want to see this movie. The Peeps film needs more than children wanting to see the film though in order to be a success.
Rifkin just wrapped up "Reality Show," a program adapted from his Showtime series of the same name. He is set to direct the thriller "Director's Cut" next, a film that centers on a movie star being stalked on a film set. I'm assuming after this project Rifkin will be free to take on the marshmallows.

By Kevin Tate/Outdoors Writer
Years before I had any idea what spring turkey season was or when it opened, my outdoor activities fell under the direction of the Old Men who'd taken me to raise. Grandaddy and Uncle Buddy were avid fishermen and were good at it, and the fishing season began for them each year in March, when the crappie ran shallow to spawn.
Both were World War II veterans, members of Brokaw's Greatest Generation, and they retired from public employment to become fishermen full time around the same time I got old enough to be of service in dark-to-dark fishing operations.
The first spring that found both of these conditions in effect was also the first that saw the newly-flooded Tenn-Tom Waterway open for business and, above the Fulton lock, within sight of the main access ramp that sits just up the levee from Itawamba Community College, the rising water covered one particular patch of ground that must have been a scaled critter's dream come true.
When I was paroled from 7th grade for spring break in March of 1985, the three of us hit the water on the Itawamba County lock. On our first morning we put in searching for likely crappie spots. The first place we came to was a patch of freshly-flooded timber due west of the landing, almost within sight of the truck.
We tucked up into the trees, dropped our lines next to a thicket of honeysuckle that still had green leaves, and never fished anywhere else that week.
They call crappie "paper mouths" for a reason – typically getting one to the boat requires some real finesse and a gentle but firm touch. The spot we fished, however, required something of a different technique. There, a successful retrieve was one executed vertically, and the quicker the better, like a child at a Halloween carnival snatching a bag of candy from behind a shower curtain via cane pole. Anything else lost the fish and probably the hook to the tangle of vines. Furthermore, a missed fish also lost the hook. Grandaddy and Uncle Buddy didn't miss many fish. I lost a lot of hooks. Still, I pulled in my fair share and, together, the three of us filled Igloo coolers on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Three people operating crappie poles in the same boat is a lot of pole ends and elbows so, after the first day, we hauled a two-man mini-boat along as an outboard rig. Once we were in the timber, I'd slide the two-man rig overboard from the main boat, then get into it along with a trolling motor, deep cycle battery, cooler, minnow bucket and pole. And a big box of hooks.
On Thursday, Grandaddy and Uncle Buddy had chores to attend that kept us off the water. On Friday, Grandaddy took Aunt Judy, my dad's sister who taught school and was likewise paroled, and me, and we caught a bunch more.
Other people came and went from the flooded woodlot during those days, but the brushtop we had found was the only really productive spot and we held onto it, if not by good fortune or forbearance of our fellow fishermen, then by simple blockade.
On Saturday, I guided my dad to the spot. He had missed the week's festivities due to the inconvenient fact he didn't attend or teach school and was nowhere near retirement. We pushed away from the landing with the mini-boat across the bow and were immediately passed on the water by a guy who'd seen us in our crappie spot at some point during the days prior.
He dashed into the woods too far to the south, however, and dad and I got into position and deployed the mini-boat with our rival far down the treeline. He made an attempt to reach the opposite side of the brushtop before me but, with a full charge on the deep cycle, a light boat beneath my feet (I'd shed most of my hooks by now) and the bulletproof nature of every 13-year-old in the world, I cut him off at the pass and the hole paid off again. We weren't gluttons by any means, and we certainly weren't wasteful, but we were in the crappie-catching business and had pound after pound of slabs in the freezer for months afterward.
If you pull the spot up on Google Earth today, there's nothing to be seen of the little hardwood thicket. The trees are only occasional snags now and the honeysuckle only a memory, but what a memory.
These days come spring, on the first clear, blustery mornings while I'm on my way to work, I look ahead on the road for a pickup truck pulling a boat trailer, crappie rigs and minnow bucket lids flapping behind, carrying two old men and a boy in the cab, and I wish them good luck.
What I really mean, though, is good memories.

The D.C. Spriestersbach Dissertation Prize was established to recognize excellence in doctoral research. Each year, the winners of the D.C. Spriestersbach Dissertation Prize become the University of Iowa's nominee in the national competition for the Council of Graduate Schools/University Microfilms International Distinguished Dissertation Award.
Prizes are awarded annually in two of four broad disciplinary areas-Humanities and the Fine Arts, Mathematical and Physical Sciences and Engineering, Biological Sciences, and Social Sciences. The Graduate College, in turn, holds two D.C. Spriestersbach Prize competitions in the areas specified by the Council of Graduate Schools.
Winners of the D.C. Spriestersbach Prize are honored in the spring at a special reception held in conjunction with the James F. Jakobsen Graduate Research Conference, organized by the Graduate Student Senate. At that time, winners are presented with $2500 along with an award certificate.
D.C. Spriestersbach Prize winners have fared exceptionally well in the national competition. With five winners, Iowa has been recognized more times than any other university since the inauguration of the national competition in 1981.
|Jessica Horst
|Michael Chasar
|Susan Behrends Frank
|Art History
|Matthew P. Anderson
|Physiology & Biophysics
|David Lasocki
Eleven other Iowa nominees have been finalists in the national competition. The success of Iowa's candidates in the national competition is a tribute to the high standards of excellence met by doctoral research conducted at this University.
See a list of past winners and their dissertation titles.
The L.B. Sims Outstanding Master's Thesis Award recognizes and rewards distinguished scholarship and research carried out by University of Iowa graduate students pursuing Master's degrees—a group with fewer opportunities for such recognition than for students pursuing doctoral degrees.
The winner of the L. B. Sims Award receives a $500 honorarium and a certificate from the Graduate College. In addition, the Graduate College submits the winner's thesis as the institution's nomination for the Midwestern Association of Graduate Schools (MAGS) Distinguished Thesis Award.
The 2009 Sims Outstanding Master's Thesis Award winner was Susan C. McKernan, a student in Dental Public Health. The thesis title was "Modeling a State Dentist Workforce Using County Level Data." Her advisor was Professor Raymond Kuthy.

China and US make headway on joint climate action
- Date
- 11 July 2013
NEW YORK: China and US announced fresh commitments to work together on tackling climate change, during bilateral talks held in Washington in the US this week.
During the annual Strategic and Economic Dialogue, important new initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution were agreed between the two countries' top officials.
The five announced initiatives are:
- Installation of resilient smart grid systems, incorporating more renewable and clean energy.
- Increasing carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCS), including implementing large-scale projects in both countries.
- Reducing emissions from heavy-duty and other vehicles, including advancing comprehensive policies to cut CO2 and black carbon emissions through enhanced heavy-duty fuel efficiency standards, cleaner fuels and emissions control technologies.
- Increasing energy efficiency in buildings, industry and transport, with the initial focus on buildings which will include the use of innovative financing models.
- Improving greenhouse gas data collection and management.
While the agreed joint-efforts complement both countries' domestic measures to lower emissions -- such as President Obama's recently announced Climate Action Plan -- the US State Department has emphasized the importance of collaboration in its US-China talks Fact Sheet. It states: "Ambitious domestic and cooperative action by China and the United States is more critical than ever."
The announcement took place one month after the US-China presidents' summit in California, when the first climate cooperation agreement was made between the two countries, on phasing down harmful HFC gases. Evan Juska, Head of US Policy, The Climate Group had commented on this agreement: "Of all the bi-lateral agreements reached by the US and China on climate change in recent years, this one has the potential to be the most impactful. Using the Montreal Protocol to phase down HFCs could reduce global emissions significantly by mid-century. And a successful partnership between the US and China on HFCs could lead to further cooperation on other GHGs in the future."
Plans for the agreed US-China climate action will be finalized by October, 2013, but you can read the full Working Group Report here.

Student Atheist Club
Meets Resistance
Michelle Bourdon
Here is a letter from Michelle, a student in Ontairo, who is running into the classic fear of the "A"-word. That's right, they won't let the students call it "The Atheist Club" (though we can all put money on whether there exists some Christian club at the school).
Please respond to me with any messages for Michelle, and I will forward them to her, and post them in the Letters section.
Also, my philosophical question from all this is: How do we practice orgainized atheism without appearing to outsiders to be a hate group?

Subject: Can You Help?
Hello there!
My name is Michelle Bourdon and I am a senior student at Walkerton District Secondary School, in Walkerton, Ontario, Canada. I am writing in regards to the formation of an Atheist Club in my public high school in rural Ontario. Our group of 14 students and a teacher advisor has met considerable resistance in the formation an Atheist Club. We have approached the school administration about forming an Atheist Club, but unfortunately they feel that the club name is not appropriate, and offer other club names. We strongly feel that a club titled 'The Atheist Club' should be allowed in our school, as clubs based on religion are allowed in our school and we feel that atheism should be treated equal to other religious views. We have put a great deal of thoughts and effort into the formation of this club; we have written a mission statement and purpose, and we have made a formal presentation to the school community council, but to no avail. Currently, our group has hit a dead end and we are looking for support. We feel that the next step is to draft a Canadian Legal document as to why an Atheist Club has the right to exist in the Canadian public school system. If you feel that you can help us in any way, or put us in touch with someone who can, please email me.
Thank-You for your help.

Easy... start an atheist church, like we did over four years ago. The North Texas Church of Freethought is the best thing to happen to Freethought activism in Texas... 150-plus Members, tons of activities, and 100 percent positive media coverage from the start.

Dear Michelle,
I used to live in Goderich and visited Kincardine and Walkerton quite a bit. In fact I will be up your way in June. So, hello fellow Canadian! I am a member of the Freedom From Religion Foundation as well as James Randi Education Foundation (James Randi was born in Richmond Hill). I think there could be two options here. One you could do as you seem inclined to do that is draft a legal document under the auspices of Charter of Rights and Freedoms. You could draft a petition stating you are being discriminated against and that the council is creating an unsafe work environment or a hostile work environment. The second option is to select a name for your group that does not carry with it the emotionally charged red flay that the word atheist carries. You could perhaps call the group Alternatives to Religion, The Freethinkers Group, or some such like. You might even suggest that the group is a history study group discussing the beginnings of non-religious thought, or a scientific group examining science Vs religion. You might try a philosophic approach or simply use the words secular or humanist in place of atheist.
I think you are being discriminated against and that is not allowed under Canadian law. I also think that by not allowing you and your group equal time the council is creating an adversarial situation to develop between your group and the theistic groups and that situation is inherently unhealthy. Finally, since you are at school an institution of learning, the council is arbitrarily stymieing your education, curiosity and intellectual growth. I really cannot see how they can get away with that under the Charter.
Be prepared for a legal battle though and start raising funds.
Good Luck and Bon Chance!

Dear Michelle:
I'm a sudent at Sir Sandford Fleming College In Peterborough Ontario and am also an atheist. I was a little appalled at your schools discrimination and YES it is discrimination.
My suggestion is to check your school's charter of student rights and responsiblities. I know that within this school the problems your facing are directly against those rights.
My only other question is I'm interested in knowing a little more about this potential club maybe I'll try and get one formed here too!

Cliff, I think fear of the "A" - word comes
1. from the term atheist not being something stating what one believes in, and
2. from a general need by theists to believe in a supreme being i.e. God who supports their values, or even "loves everyone" -- Sort of a Unitarian-Universalist concept.
Therefore you find several atheists
who are also humanists, ethical culturists. Some atheists will retain a
cultural tie to a religious background "once a Jew always a Jew".
Perhaps a positive statement of what they want to stand for:
Freethinker Club, Rationalist Club, "Freethinkers & Rationalists Into ENgrossing DiscussionS" -> FRIENDS. (Ok the acronym needs work)
I know some people who say they were atheists once, but converted to liberal Christianity, others who seem for the most part rational agnostic, practical atheist but at some level use religious terminology and call themselves pagan or wiccan, and some who truely appear to believe the pagan gods are as objectively real as some conservative christians believe their god to be, or at least astrology, palm reading, and spell casting are effective. (And yes, I'm from Salem MA -- home of the witches)
What it comes down to is some people have a need to believe in something dispite the imposibility of that thing. An atheist might dismiss out of hand an assertion of existence (external objective existence) of God, but that tends to insult the believer and get comments like "You can't prove God doesn't exist, and I can't proove he does." and a host of failing logic theorems like Pascal's Wager, and the First Cause, argument from design etc. etc.
Lastly God is assumed to be good
and loving, nasty passages are ignored by those who want to paint a nice
picture of God. As reported by Adam Butler (Atlanta Freethought News 4/99):
The Westboro Baptist Church picketed the funeral of Billy Jack Gaither.
A Picketer's sign read "God hates fags" and a supporter's sign
read "God loves all people"
Adam: "The slogan on the Boy's sign, while it sounded nice, just wasn't true. [...] When Christians claim God hates some people they do it to condemn those people, when I claim God hates some people I do it to condemn God."
People will more easily switch religions to hold a belief in a kinder gentler God, than abandon belief in any God, and draw on their own humanity for ethics and morals.

Might I suggest "Freethought Association" as an innocent name? The name atheist (really should be Atheist, as we don't write christian, do we?) really has been drug thru the mud by Christians and Atheists alike. Maybe it's time to jetison it altogether?
Trust me, if my parents had named me Adolf, do you think I would keep that name? Hell no! Ditto for the name Atheist.

Lynn Haven- Bat County School Superintendent Bill Husfelt and school board chairwoman Ginger Littleton met with board members of the Bay Haven Charter Academy on Thursday night, with a packed house watching. There were several somewhat controversial items on the table for discussion, one of those being an extension of the school's charter. Bay Haven board members didn't get the answer they were hoping for.
The 250 arents and teachers who attended Bay Haven Charter Academy's Thursday night meeting were there because of some possible changes to the school's charter that would give teacher's state retirement benefits in-exchange for allowing more minority and ESE students to attend the school. But that took a backseat to another issue that came up during the discussion.
Bay County School Superintendent Bill Husfelt said most of the school board members don't want to approve Bay Haven's charter for 15 years. Husfelt say the board is leaning toward a 2-year extension. "It's the economy and there are all kinds of problems that come up if it doesn't work out. That is what we've got to talk about with them."
Bay Haven officials say they need the long-term charter to secure funding for their plans to open 3 new schools in the next few years. "We have over 1,000 students on the waiting list, in order to meet the needs of the community we have to have these new schools," said Laura Swindler, a Bay Haven parent. "We had the same issue with Bay Haven when when we were first starting and when we got to the point where we were ready to finance the district gave us the 15 year contract. We are already starting to explore our financing options for North Bay Haven so we need that now," said Bay Haven Board of Directors President Scottie Haney.
Haney is determined to work with the school board and come to an agreement. "It is a hurdle. We need to convince the schoolboard to give us a 15 year charter is what it boils down to." If the school board does not grant the longer-term charter, Haney isn't giving up hope on the new charter facilities. "It would certainly create a big problem for us but we have dealt with problems in the past. We would deal with the problem just like we have with the others. We would find a way."
More than 600 students have applied for admission to North Bay Haven when it opens next fall. No word as to when the school board will vote on the Bay Haven Charter extension.

In 1997, after several visits and conversations over the course of five years, Mr. Vidal agreed to donate his entire collection to the National Museum of American History. This became one of the largest gifts by an individual to the Museum. One of the most important collections of Puerto Rican material culture in the world, it consists of more than 3,200 objects which date from the 17th to the 20th centuries.

Cogent Communications Group Inc. CEO Dave Schaeffer made the comments at a congressional hearing about Comcast's proposed $45 billion takeover of Time Warner Cable Inc. on Thursday.
Schaeffer said that after Cogent began delivering Netflix's traffic in mid-2012, its relationship with Comcast worsened and Comcast began to stop increasing the capacity of its hardware to accommodate the increase in traffic.
He said Netflix was forced to cut a direct deal with Comcast to improve streaming to customers, which began to be plagued by buffering, delays and pixelated pictures.
"That's an abuse of market power," Schaeffer told the House antitrust subcommittee. "A larger and more combined company would have even more market power."
Comcast executive vice president David Cohen said Comcast was forced to react when the flow of traffic with Cogent went from roughly equally to Cogent sending five times as much data as Comcast was sending back.
"That triggered the need for a discussion and a negotiation about the need to come to a form of paid peering relationship," Cohen said. Such paid deals are common when the balance of traffic is out of whack, he said.
Netflix declined to comment.
Netflix Inc. has come out against the merger, saying in its letter to shareholders last month that a combined company would "possess even more anti-competitive leverage to charge arbitrary interconnection tolls" on services like Netflix.

Secrets of Success
"Runaanubandh" or Connections!!
Tuesday, October 30, 2012
Today Chhaaya Bai left her 22 years old job with us---abruptly without an explanation!!She just sent me a terse message with Vanita saying that she will not be coming to work at our home any more!!While the way it was done pained me I think perhaps she felt she could not have done it any other way--for 22 years is a long time!!
She first came to me on the 13th. August 1990---a thin wiry lady whom I engaged as a "Sous" Cook as those days my health wasn't very good----hence I needed someone to look after the Kitchen whenever I fell sick.Since she too hailed from the Konkan, her style of cooking suited all 4 of us---and gradually she became a part of our lives and then our family.Later in June,1999 she brought in her co sister -in-law Vanita to me when my Jayashree Bai left due to some problems in her Village.Since then these two have been the mainstay in my home--till yesterday!!During my Dengue Hospital Stay these two helped Mummy to run the house on smoothly oiled wheels---and Vanita began coming every Evening to cook our dinners.These two kept my household on an even keel during the period of December 2006-31st July 2007--during which my Operation,Chemotherapy and Radiation took place.Later it was once more these two who kept the wheels turning for the 10 days I spent in Hospital after my Heart attack and Angioplasty--and these two who looked after me afterwards--helping Sudhir to nurse me back to Health.
It was to keep Sudhir peaceful that this duo would arrive before he left for Court in the morning---and wait till he came back home in the evenings--ceremoniously handing over my Parcel to him!!!They never left me alone after that because this duo and Sudhir were convinced that I was going to cop it any time---so they kept me under their Eagle eye throughout the day!!After he passed away last year ,this duo provided me with a great amount of emotional support---by just listening to my Memories or being there whenever I grieved!!Today one link has broken--how--why I do not know!!Since I have received a message via Vanita I will not embarass Chhaaya Bai by broaching the subject of the "whys" and the "wherefores" with her.Obviously it has been a decision that she has arrived at after due deliberation and long thought.She has plenty of Health problems---like a gap in her back Vertebrae as well as Arthritic knees and a frozen shoulder as well.Physical handicaps that have been earned after a hard life.Today I'm left with a lingering sadness for a relationship that has been a large part of my life has ended---and more than an Employee I have lost a Friend.I guess the period of our "Runanubandh" or Relationship was just till now---and today the bond that bound us ended.So I will only say this to my Friend----quoting Byron--- "Fare Thee Well --and if Forever Still Forever Fare Thee Well!!'

Oh how sad, perhaps you can send a letter to her letting her know how much she meant to you & your family..Even though she left she is surly hurting also & maybe she is too shy to talk to you about it. I could not let this go..she was not only a help mate,but also as a member of your family, not through blood but through an intertwining of oneness that came so close to as member of your family.
What does a Parcel mean?
Take care

Maybe she didn't enjoy the idea of your new business venture and all the extra cooking that might come about as a result. Hopefully you two can talk about it and remain friends even without her working for you. 22 years is a long relationship to just let drift away without explanation.

I am sorry to hear of your loss and the suddenness of it. It reminded me of a Robert Frost quote, "Ah, when to the heart of man was it ever less than a treason to go with the drift of things to yield with a grace to reason and bow and accept at the end of a love or a season."
I hope you are well looked after. Comfort is so missed when it is lost. Best wishes. If I were in Mumbai, I'd take tea with you and hear your stories. I'd like that.

Students take exams amid power breakdowns
Karachi: Students appearing in the intermediate examinations once again suffered a great deal due to massive power breakdowns at examination centres on Tuesday.
Despite the assurance by the Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC), almost every examination centre remained without electricity. The management of the KESC had assured the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK), that load shedding would not occur during the papers in the neighbourhoods of the examination centres.
However, BIEK, which is conducting the boardÃs exams for Class-XI and XII, told this correspondent that candidates solved their papers without electricity.
Meanwhile, the police and rangers were also reluctant to be seen near the examination centres. The BIEK has asked the Sindh Home Department to impose Section 144 to stop the influx of outsiders around the examination centres so that candidates could solve their papers without any interference in the classrooms.
During the second day of the annual exams, 31 candidates of Class-XI of Medical Technology Group appeared at two examination centres in the paper of Microbiology while 1,817 students of Science Pre-Engineering and General Group appeared in the Paper-I of Computer Science. Furthermore, 30,212 pupils of Commerce (Regular) Group appeared in the Paper-I of Business Maths. According to BIEK officials, no unfair means case was reported in the morning and afternoon shifts on Tuesday.

How To Debug A Critter
By templedf on Mar 20, 2005
I just found this great link to the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine's online knowledge base. It's really cool! You first search for symptoms to build a list. Then you search for illnesses based on the selected symptoms. It's very thorough, and they cover pretty much every kind of domestic animal, from dogs and cats, to swine and cattle. Even though I went to the Vanderbilt University College of Engineering, I have to give Cornell props for this site.

Boost Happiness 25% With Happy Friend
The path to happiness appears to be lined with smiling friends, family and neighbors. So suggests a Harvard analysis of roughly 5,000 people over two decades, which found that contentment is contagious.
The study landed lead researcher Dr. Nicholas Christakis on TIME Magazine's "100 Most Influential" list. By mapping and measuring happiness within a social network, Christakis found that an upbeat sibling can increase your happiness by 14%, a nearby cheerful friend by 25%, and a contented next-door neighbor by 34%. You even receive a joy boost of nearly 10% simply by having a happy "friend of a friend."
The takeaway? Stick with the smilers. We're not suggesting abandoning those who are feeling down, but to widen your social circle to include merry friends and neighbors, who in turn will feed your ability to uplift others. Staying healthy will help keep you happy, according to research which found that fitness predicts happiness better than finances. Lifting weights can help lift your mood, while vigorous exercise can boost brain chemicals that provide a natural high. Emotional wellbeing is also linked to proper nutrition — including getting enough folate (beans, spinach, asparagus) and vitamin D (canned salmon, sunshine).
Flip side: The same Harvard researchers found that obesity spreads through social networks, making you 57% more likely to become obese if your friend is.

Gangnam Style Dance in US Sports: Watch Presidents Perform K-Pop Craze During Race at Nationals Park (VIDEO)
Korean pop artist PSY, the creator of Gangnam Style. (Photo: REUTERS)
The Gangnam Style dance has been everywhere as of late, from the Ellen Show to Dodgers Stadium. But have you ever wondered how some of our nation's finest leaders would interpret the Korean Pop phenomenon?
Follow Us :
Well, wonder no more.
The question has been answered, thanks to the Presidents Race at Nationals Park. For those who've never seen highlights of the race on SportsCenter, the blog Let Teddy Win! has an excellent summary of its history and rules.
Basically, four mascots who resemble some of our greatest presidents - George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson - race each other in the middle of the fourth inning during Nationals home games. They began along the warning track and head towards the finish line near the Nationals' dugout.
During an early September game at the park, the presidents decided to change things up a bit. They stripped down into their beach attire before the race and then proceeded to perform a surprisingly competent version of the routine. They were able to save up enough energy to run the actual race, which was won by Lincoln.

Roosevelt seems to hog the spotlight during the dancing portion, standing in front of the others and occasionally blocking poor Thomas Jefferson from the audience's view. Perhaps this is just Roosevelt's inferiority complex trying to make up for his winless streak.
His showboating may have gotten the best of him, however. Roosevelt remained frozen in his final pose after the music stopped, while his competitors started running the race. The 25th president never actually crosses the finish line in the video.
The Washington Post put video of the dance and race up on its sports blog earlier this month. Apparently it was filmed by a reader named Luis, who uploads videos of the race on YouTube.

|Northern Fur Seal
Male northern fur seals can reach maximum lengths of 6 feet 11inches and almost 600 pounds while females are slightly smaller with a maximum length 4 feet 11 inches and 130 pounds.
Northern fur seals can be found in the cold waters of the Northern Pacific Ocean, the Bering Sea and the Sea of Okhotsk.
Belonging to the family Otariidae, along with all fur seal and sea lion species, northern fur seals have external ear flaps, long front flippers and the ability to rotate their hind flipper to move well on land. The hind flippers of the northern fur seal are the largest of any of animals in the fur seal and sea lion family.
Aptly named for their two dense fur coats, the northern fur seal has an outer layer of long, coarse guard hairs (usually dark brown to black in color) in addition to dense, fine underfur estimated to contain 300,000 hairs per square inches. The northern fur seal has a relatively stocky body in comparison to other fur seal and sea lion species and a short snout which gives them a bear like appearance.
Male northern fur seals are easily distinguishable from females by size and appearance. Males of the species are significantly larger than females and at maturity, become broad through the chest and shoulders and develop a mane of stiff, short hairs.
Rarely coming on shore, the northern fur seal will spend most of their life in the open ocean. Some animals may spend several years at sea before returning to rookeries. These animals have developed a "jug-handle" position to sleep while they are at sea.
Northern fur seals feed mostly at night using shallow dives to search for food, but can dive to over 800 feet searching for a variety of schooling fish and squid.
Killer Whales (Orca)
Mating Behaviors:
The majority of the northern fur seals breed on select islands off the coast of Alaska. Each spring large male fur seals arrive at breeding areas called "rookeries" to stake their territories. They attract a number of females to their territories and these select males accomplish the majority of the breeding. Females generally have their first pup at five to six years of age and start returning to the breeding islands in June and give birth to a single pup within a few days after arrival on land if they conceived the previous year.
Northern fur seals pass through two phases before they get their adult coat. From birth until first molt in autumn, the young are called "black pups" because their birth coat is black. In late September the birth coat is replaced by "silver" fur (white-tipped guard hairs).
Meet the Animals
Scientific Name: Callorhinus ursinus
Size: African penguins range from 18 to 25 inches tall and weigh up to 11 pounds
Range/Distribution: The only penguin to breed in Africa, the African penguin ranges from Namibia to South Africa. Young penguins have been known to migrate north and west along the coastline and are found between Southern Angola, Namibia, and sometimes found off Gabon, Congo, and Mozambique, but generally reside in South Africa.
Appearance: The African penguin has a robust, torpedo-shaped body with black feathers on their back, flippers, and head while white feathers cover their front with the exception of horseshoe-shaped black stripe on the chest. Following the penguin's first few molts a white stripe will develop around its cheek and throat. These birds have a bare patch above their eyes to assist with regulating their body temperature.
Habitat: When not hunting for food in the water, African penguins are found along rocky shores or brushy coastal areas.
Prey: African penguins feed on 25 species of fish, such as sardine and anchovy but also prey on squid and krill. A penguin may eat up to one pound of food or up to 14% of their weight.
Predators: African penguins face predation by gulls, feral cats and mongoose while nesting on land, while sharks and fur seals hunt African penguins in the water.
Life Span: The African penguin may live up to late 30 years in an aquarium or zoo but averages of 15-20 years are seen in the wild populations.
Mating Behaviors: There are no set breeding seasons for African penguins, however, most penguin pairs are monogamous and will remain together over several breeding years. The male will prepare a nest by digging a shallow burrow in sand or in brush using guano (penguin waste) and any materials nearby to complete the nest for the female to lay two eggs. Both the male and female share the nesting and chick duties, keeping the young safe from predators and warm temperatures. The chicks will hatch between 38 and 42 days and will leave the nest when they are between 60 to 130 days of age.

Message from the Interim Dean Alison Griffiths
Welcome to the Mildred and George Weissman School of Arts and Sciences, a vibrant intellectual and cultural center. With 13 outstanding academic departments, numerous interdisciplinary programs, and a wide range of majors, the Weissman School is an essential part of the Baruch College experience, whether as the home of your chosen major or for your liberal arts courses. In an entrepreneurial era that rewards creativity and critical thinking, there is no better preparation for adult life than a rigorous liberal arts and sciences education. We're also proud to offer students a rich and diverse array of music and theatre in the Baruch Center for the Performing Arts.
"Arts and sciences are the bloodstream that course through the entire body of knowledge and through our civilization."
—George Weissman
'39, LLD [Hon.] '82
Small enough to provide personal attention from faculty and staff and large enough to offer an exciting choice of courses and activities, the Weissman School provides students with a learning environment that is supportive yet challenging, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. At Weissman, we encourage students to think hard, write well, and speak clearly about the new knowledge acquired in the humanities and social and natural sciences – from the performing arts to mathematics, from journalism to environmental studies. The home of traditional university core liberal arts, the Weissman faculty cultivates critical thinking, cultural awareness, ethical sensibilities, and multilingual written, oral, and analytical skills for majors in its own departments and for students in Baruch College's Zicklin School of Business and School of Public Affairs. The Weissman School's priority is to train students academically, while acknowledging the practical implications of that knowledge in a competitive global environment.
Many new and exciting initiatives have emerged as a result of our school's "Strategic Plan," such as global studies and civic engagement, while we continue to support curricular and faculty development in areas such as new media studies and arts administration. In addition to increasing diversity among our excellent faculty, the "Strategic Plan" continues to support faculty research with the intention of bringing more undergraduates into the collaborative research process. Our goal at Weissman is to engage our students in international and domestic experiences, such as "study away" and internships, which will help them become global citizens of the world.

The Express: Chelsea hijack City's Benatia bid
- 30 May 2014 07:26
- Posted by @NieldyMCFC
There's a host of City-related transfer talks adorning the paper and pixelated pages of the media this morning, so read on to find out the latest rumoured incomings and outgoings from the Etihad Stadium…
Chelsea have reported hijacked City's plans to bring in Roma star Mehdi Benatia after offering the Italian club £18million plus striker Romelu Lukaku.
"Reports coming out of Italy claim that Jose Mourinho is desperate to bring the Morocco international to Stamford Bridge, and Il Messaggero believes he is prepared to do whatever it takes to stop the strong centre-back from joining Manuel Pellegrini's side," claims The Express' Anthony Chapman.
"City are yet to agree a fee with Roma for Benatia despite sorting out personal terms with the player, but will now have to table an offer of at least £38million if they want his signature, as Lukaku is valued by the Blues at around £20million.
"The move is sure to infuriate Pellegrini, who has endured a tempestuous relationship with Mourinho ever since the two butted heads during their time in La Liga.
"The Chilean is keen to bring Benatia to the Etihad as he searches for someone worthy of partnering club captain Vincent Kompany in the heart of defence, and may have to turn his attentions to Porto star Eliaquim Mangala if Benatia agrees a move to west London."
And that's exactly what Manuel Pellegrini has done according to the Daily Star, however the French star has declined any talks of a move away from the Portuguese giants until after the World Cup.
"Mangala, who is the subject of transfer interest from the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea, says discussions over a move must wait until this summer's showpiece comes to an end," reports Rhys Turrell.
"Mangala, 23, has leapt to the top of the wanted lists of a host of European clubs after a series of stellar displays for the Portuguese giants this season.
"Porto are likely to hold out for at least £30m for their star Frenchman, but that is unlikely to deter the Premier League trio, or fellow interested parties Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid."
Alvaro Negredo has emerged as a summer target for newly-crowned Spanish champions Atletico Madrid is John Cross' piece in The Mirror is to be believed.
"The Spanish club want the City striker to replace Diego Costa who is poised to join Chelsea.
"City striker Negredo was a huge success in the first half of last season but lost his place towards the end.
"Atletico, who has also been linked with Spurs striker Roberto Soldado, believe they may be able to get Negredo as City have such a wealth of strikers."
And finally, The Independent's Andrew Tong has the latest on the Yaya Toure saga, quoting a radio interview with the midfielder from Thursday:
"Touré had seemingly been seeking a move away from the Etihad when he said it would be "an honour" to play for PSG and admitted that his agent was "hanging on the telephone and he knows what to do". But yesterday the midfielder told the French radio station RFI that "the media took what I said out of context."
"For the moment, there's nothing planned," Touré said. "Too many things have been said that annoyed me. I want to take advantage of this opportunity to put things into context. It's very important. I simply said that it was nice to be a player who is quite coveted, and it was an honour to play for PSG."
That's all for today. Look-out for Saturday's rumour and gossip round-up tomorrow…

WASHINGTON (PAI) - Members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus have told the two co-chairs of President Obama's deficit-cutting commission to "take Social Security off the table," caucus co-chair Rep. Raul Grijalva says.
In an Aug. 24 telephone press conference about the nation's top retirement program, the Democratic lawmaker from Tucson, Ariz., added that he and his colleagues suggested other ways of stemming the flood of federal red ink in future years.
Their proposals included closing corporate tax loopholes, letting the Bush tax cuts for the rich expire, ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, imposing higher royalties on firms that take valuable resources - such as minerals and oil - from federal lands and cutting defense and homeland security spending, Grijalva reported.
The 12 to 15 Progressive Caucus lawmakers who met with Grijalva and deficit commission co-chairs Erskine Bowles, a former top Democratic White House staffer, and Alan Simpson, a former GOP senator from Wyoming, also made the point that cutting Social Security wouldn't fly politically, either in Congress or the country.
"This was an affirmation of where we stand and of what we won't tolerate" in deficit-cutting plans, Grijalva added. "Because of its size and its impact, it's important to make the point now that Social Security must be off the table," he said - even before the deficit-cutting panel issues any findings and recommendations.
That ban includes any proposals to raise the retirement age, as GOP House Minority Leader John Boehner favors, or to cut benefits, Grijalva added.
Grijalva discussed the caucus meeting with Bowles and Simpson, which occurred just before Congress recessed in early August, as the Economic Policy Institute marshaled arguments to take Social Security off the deficit-cutting list. The commission co-chairs were non-committal, saying everything is being considered including the nation's retirement program, the congressman reported.
It shouldn't be, said EPI's Ross Eisenbrey, along with former Social Security chief actuary Harry Alexander and Nancy Altman, co-chair of a coalition - including the AFL-CIO and many major unions - formed in July to protect Social Security from the deficit-cutters.
That's because Social Security has its own trust funds and does not contribute to the flood of red ink the presidential panel is investigating, the four said. The lawmakers' caucus made that same point to Bowles and Simpson, Grijalva added.

Welcome To Karnataka State Haj Committee
Welcome to the official website of Karnataka State Hajj Committee, Allow us to help you better avail our services and navigate through the site to know more about us and Haj. Haj is one of the five tenets of Islam. It's every Muslim's desire to perform Haj at least once in his life time. Performing Haj is obligatory to every sane, financially able and adult Muslim. Haj is the fifth pillar of Islam, an obligation that must be carried out at least once in their lifetime by every able-bodied Muslim who can afford to do so.
The Hajj is associated with the life of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), but the ritual of pilgrimage to Mecca is considered by Muslims to stretch back to the time of Ibrahim and Isma'il, prominent figures in both Islam and in Judaism.

OP, you have mentioned two of the most shootable handgun designs ever fielded. Excellent taste on your part. Either would serve you very well.
Sadly, although I adore my S&W Model 638 .38 Special +P J-Frame for special purpose applications, I'll be the first to observe that it is the least shootable gun I have ever owned or shot. Too-short sight radius, too-heavy trigger pull (15 pounds pull against a 1 pound gun out of the box), lots of muzzle flash, not enough ammunition on-board, slow to reload compared almost any semi-automatic, etc.

Seven members of the Pac-12 Champion UCLA Gymnastics squad were named to the 2012 Pac-12 All-Conference team, and Valorie Kondos Field was voted the Pac-12 Coach of the Year for the fourth time in her career and first since 2003. UCLA led all conference teams with a total of seven All-Pac-12 team members and eight honors.
The Bruins had at least one gymnast on each event make the All-Pac-12 team. Co-Pac-12 vault champions Olivia Courtney and Vanessa Zamarripa, along with Tauny Frattone, earned first-team honors. This is Courtney's second consecutive vault honor. She also earned first-team honors this season on floor exercise. Zamarripa was an all-around honoree in both 2009 and 2010. Frattone is a three-time All-Pac-12 first-teamer on vault. Aisha Gerber earned first-team honors on uneven bars for the second consecutive year. Pac-12 beam champion Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs received first-team honors on the event for the second time. She had also been an all-around honoree in 2011 and 2009. Samantha Peszek earned second-team acclaim on balance beam to receive her first career all-conference honor. Also receiving her first career all-conference award is Alyssa Pritchett, who earned second-team honors on floor exercise.
The All-Pac-12 team is determined by a combination of 50 percent regional qualifying score (entire season composite leading up to the Pac-12 Championships) and 50 percent Conference Championships score. The All-Conference first team consists of the top six all-around competitors, plus the top three competitors in each individual event who are not among the all-around honorees. The Pac-12 second team consists of the top two all-arounders who were not named to the first team (as all-arounders or in an event), after such the top two gymnasts from each event who were not yet named to the first team or the second team would be selected to the second team.

Recently there has been an air of concern about the banking system in Panama. The concern has centered on two main events, a new treaty between the United States and Panama. This new treaty, might if approved by the legislature here, allow the US government access to information on some or all bank accounts in Panama. This is of great concern to people who have hidden assets in Panamanian banks based upon the assumption they would be safe from prying eyes.
Surprise, all governments have one thing in common, they need money and will do what even is necessary to get money, so they can survive and grow. Governments regardless of rhetoric from politicians want to grow and want your money. They will do what ever is necessary to find money when they need it. With technology and treaties shrinking the world, if you want to hide money try your mattress, no other place will work over time. The money will of course decrease in value as it slowly rots in the mattress. Inflation is part of the post World War Two design for world economic stability.
The second concern is that the real National Bank of Panama, is the Federal Reserve of the United States. The fact that the US Dollar renamed the Balboa is the currency of Panama has helped to maintain the economic stability and historically low inflation rate of Panama. Panama does not issue it's own currency, aside from coins. It must earn and use US dollars in the world market. Unlike the US Federal Reserve, Panama cannot print currency so it needs a flow of dollars in, to allow for a flow of dollars out for purchases; just like you and I.
As the US dollar has devalued against other commodities in world trade, oil and some other currencies in particular, inflation in Panama has increased. Some people have tried to blame price increases here on the influx of expats. Indeed expats have through ignorance, increased the cost of real estate in this area. Still we are too few in number to influence the broader increase in food and energy prices, these increases are due to US dollar devaluation; more against oil, a necessary and consumable commodity, than other currencies.
There has been a discussion of Panama abandoning the US dollar, something possible, but unlikely. Short of joining the European Union there is no other currency that could maintain Panama's economic stability. Even Ecuador with a anti US government has maintained the US dollar as it's currency, long term a safer bet than printing your own.
A couple of weeks ago a group of people listened to a speaker push gold vaulted in Switzerland. The pitch was purchase gold held in a remote vault and you will be saved from inflation. There is no arguing with the fact gold is selling for more now than at any time in the past. There is no arguing that gold seems to be a historic hedge against inflation. There is also no arguing that you cannot eat gold, it has that in common with currencies.
If you really believe the sky is falling, then after the dollar and euro crash, gold will follow. What is the intrinsic value of one ounce of gold if the currencies crash?
I prefer my ability to grow food and produce eggs, to investments in gold certificates backed by a promise that the gold will be there, in another country, in a vault, when I might want it. There is a movement among the very wealthy to buy farmland as a hedge against a world wide economic collapse or just a December 2012 Mayan calamity. That investment although also worthless in complete anarchy, makes more sense to me than paper currencies backed by the Federal Reserve, Bank of the EU or gold in Swiss vaults.
Personally I believe the euro will survive, the dollar will survive, the central banks of the world and the governments of the world have too much to lose if the world economy collapses. In reality those in power would lose power, not a bad thing, but since they do control the world economy, an unlikely thing.
It does not matter is the US Federal Reserve is a government agency, or as some claim a conspiracy of wild eyed zionists seeking world domination. Who ever is in control of the world economic system, whether they are in Bejing or Washington, want it stable. All governments and the people who run them are too tied together economically to allow it to crash. We are just pawns in their game, they plan to continue to be wealthy and dominate the world.
Watch things stabilize, inflation will return, it is planned, gold will peak and slide back and more middle class families will slide into poverty as the world economy settles into a new phase. Learn from history, it repeats with variations.
As for Panama, it will remain a great place to live and have a small farm. If thing really collapse and you are hungry, trade me an ounce of gold for a dozen eggs. Panama has seen a currency vacuum during the Noriega years; people survived on barter. Perhaps Melo owns the real National Bank of Panama, land, eggs and distribution, even if horses need to pull the trucks.

So called "Financial experts" are going back and forth. Peter Schiff has been crying "inflation" but we haven't seen any significant inflation yet. Others are crying "deflation" and we haven't seen that either. These are tough times. I have no clue what to do with what little investments i have.
We have seen enormous inflation. Inflation is defined as the expansion of the money supply (not the Keynesian redefinition of "a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services"). Rising process are usually what happen as a result of inflation, but as a lagging indicator. With the Fed printing money ("quantitative easing") as much as possible, there's no way to avoid inflation. The best thing you can do with your money is to put it into tangible assets that hold their value. For many, that means physical gold, silver, real estate, etc. As far as stocks, many like gold/silver mining stocks, agriculture, and oil (and other energy) stocks.
Not all or any real estate. When interest rates rise, as they must, real estate prices will fall further. If you are still liquid at that time, real estate will be a better deal. The real estate that will be the best to buy will be a farm. You'll need to get a tractor also. And a book about farming and canning the food you grow.
Good luck to us all.
Don't forget your supply of tampons and a sewing kit to hem your skirt that you will likely trip over when running for the hills. Whatever happened to the men in this country? Here's a thought: how about arresting the criminals on Wall Street and the traitors in government? How about taking back what has been stolen from us? It's time to man-up, America.
Greatest. Comment. Ever.
We have a socialist cum fascist cum communist as chief exec. of our country and czars that are admitted Maoists. We have an artificial economy faking a phony uptick. We have a full-time professional, independent central bank counterfeiting our fiat notes to buy and sell with. We have large Wall Street banks and brokers and A.I.G. that stole our money when they should have been allowed to file bankruptcy. We have executives of those very same corporations that should have been fired and/or imprisoned. We have corrupt poiticians that demanded that the government make lenders make mortgage to sub-prime mortgages. We have a corrupt war(s) with more looming and constitutionally illegal surveillance on our own citizens. We have a media that doesn't seem to care and won't ask questions. It's all smoke and mirrors.
Other than that….everyting is hunky-dory.
