LAST SEASON RECAPThe Alabama softball team (60-8, 23-5 SEC) capped off its 2012 season with its first ever national championship, not only in school history but the first in the SEC. The Crimson Tide won its opening round, downing fellow SEC member Tennessee, 5-3, before defeating Arizona State, 2-1. Alabama continued on its run for the title with a win against Cal, 5-2, before taking its only defeat to Oklahoma, 4-1, in the opening game of the national championship series. Alabama took the next game, 8-6, tying the series up and putting them in a third game. The final dramatic chapter on the season saw a three hour rain delay to start the game and a three-run deficit going into the second delay. Alabama came out victorious, 5-4, scoring three of the four runs in the fourth inning after the second rain delay.
Alabama made its 14th straight NCAA tournament appearance and hosted a NCAA Regional for the eighth straight season and 10 overall. The Crimson Tide claimed the Tuscaloosa Regional title by defeating South Alabama, Tennessee-Martin and Georgia Tech. Alabama then downed Michigan in both games of the Tuscaloosa Super Regional to advance to Oklahoma City.
The Crimson Tide won its third straight SEC regular season title and fourth overall. Alabama finished 34-4 at Rhoads Stadium and welcomed 91,541 fans for an average of 2,474 per contest. Jackie Traina, Amanda Locke, Kaila Hunt and Jennifer Fenton were named NFCA All-Americans.
WHO TO WATCHAlabama returns two All-Americans in Kaila Hunt and Jackie Traina. Traina earned All-American honors for the second straight season as she once again paced the Tide on the mound with a record of 42-3. Traina also batted .319, slugged 10 home runs and put away 361 batters for a 1.87 era. Hunt led the team in power hitting with team high 21 home runs and 77 RBI. Traina's 42 wins led the country while Hunt's 21 homers and 77 RBI paced the conference.
SCOUTING ILLINOISThe University of Illinois softball squad concluded the 2012 season with a .500 or better record for the fourth consecutive year and fifth in the previous six campaigns, earning a 27-26 mark. The slate of victories was highlighted by two over the No. 22 ranked Michigan Wolverines on the road and two at home against Purdue, while the Orange and Blue also earned a pair of key victories when facing Massachusetts and another against NCAA Tournament Super Regional-bound Hofstra during non-conference competition. Starting pitcher Pepper Gay led the Fighting Illini on the mound with a 22-15 record overall and 1.89 era. Illinois is led by head coach Terri Sullivan, who has been at the helm for 13 years tallying a 416-289-2 record.

SERIES HISTORYIllinois: This will be the fourth meeting between the Tide and Fighting Illini, with Alabama at a perfect 3-0 record. These two teams last met in the 2008 Adidas Golden Panther Invitational, with Alabama taking the 2-0 decision. Alabama looked to its bench for runs in the contest utilizing two clutch pinch-hits coming from juniors Lauren Parker and Allison Moore. The previous match-up was in the 2003 Tuscaloosa Regional when the Tide sent three over the fence for a 4-2 victory. Then freshman Stephanie VanBrakle carried Alabama with two home runs and closed out the game with a strikeout in the circle.
UNI: The Tide and Bison have faced off two times previously, with Alabama holding a 2-0 series lead. The two teams last faced off in 2000 at the Metrodome Classic in Minneapolis, Minn., with Alabama winning, 6-5, in their first meeting, then defeating the Lady Panthers, 8-0, to move into the championship game of the tournament where the Tide would defeat Louisville.
Drake: The Tide and Bulldogs have faced off four previous times, with Alabama winning all four games. The last victory over the Bulldogs came in the 2006 Crimson Classic. Alabama took the game 6-0. Stephanie VanBrakle, in her senior season, hit an RBI double and eventually came around to score.
Green Bay: This will be the first ever meeting between the Tide and the Phoenix.
North Dakota St.: The two teams met for the first time last season in the Easton Bama Bash, playing two games. The Tide won the first one, 9-4, and then edged the Bison, 3-2. Kayla Braud batted 4-for-6 in the two games with three runs and a stolen base. In the circle, Jackie Traina allowed two runs on four hits and struck out 13 in a seven inning start.
OPENING DAYAlabama enters the season 11-5 in opening day games and has won seven of its last eight season openers. Over that span the Tide has outscored its opponents, 67-5, posting six run-rule wins. Last season the Crimson Tide blitzed Memphis, 8-0, in five innings to open the Mardi Gras Invitational. Jackie Traina struck out seven and only allowed one hit to open up her sophomore season. The last opening day loss for Alabama came in 2010 when it fell to No. 9 Missouri, 2-1, in a tight pitching duel between Kelsi Dunne and Chelsea Thomas.
TOUGH SCHEDULEAlabama will be tested all season long as it enters the 2013 season with a schedule that features six teams that are ranked in the preseason polls and 13 teams that made the postseason in 2012, including two whom made trips to the Women's College World Series.

Action for a Change Internship Program
PROGRAM OVERVIEW40 years ago, college students started CoPIRG to fight for the public interest when powerful special interests threatened our health, environment, economy and our democracy. Since then, CoPIRG student leaders have led campaigns to bring light-rail to Denver, stop hog farms from polluting our streams and rivers, ban smoking in bars and restaurants, recall tens of thousands of dangerous toys from our store shelves, require more transparency in our marketplace and government, break down barriers to voting for young people, expose corporate polluters, set high ethics standards for our state legislators, pass tough clear air and renewable energy standards, increase food safety standards, increase access to quality health care, and fight against big money in politics. Despite our success, Colorado still has more problems than we deserve and more solutions than we use. That's why CoPIRG has big goals over the next 3 years from building high-speed rail along the Front Range and along I-70, increasing energy efficiency standards, improving health care, increasing youth voter turnout, getting big money out of politics, protecting consumers against scams and consumer rip-offs, closing corporate tax loopholes, and ending the overuse and misuse of antibiotics on factory farms. CoPIRG is currently looking for the next team of CoPIRG interns to fight for the public interest on these issues and more. CoPIRG's Action for a Change Internship offers an excellent opportunity to take what you learn in the classroom and apply it in the real world, gaining valuable skills, meeting new people, making a difference in your community and opening doors to future employment. Interns learn key skills from organizing and recruitment, to lobbying and working with the media, as well as coalition building and nonprofit fundraising. Though this internship is unpaid, in many cases students are able to get course credit for working 10-12 hours per week and it looks great on a resume.
MAKE A DIFFERENCETransportation Advocates - Build support in local communities for alternative transportation projects. Antibiotics Defenders - Build support across Colorado to stop the overuse and misuse of antibiotics on factory farms. Grassroots Organizing Internship - Learn to develop a campaign, educate and mobilize the key constituencies, stakeholders, and the general public. Legislative Internship - Work with our professional staff to research, write and introduce a bill or policy; lobby our decision makers; and help organize and run a campaign to pass the policy.

The Monday, March 3 "Almost Human" season 1 finale takes care of business in a big way, with some much-needed resolution for Kennex and a review of Dorian's work so far on the force.
A case is finally really solved With this "Almost Human" episode, the police discover that a case they thought had been solved years ago hadn't been – and Kennex's father had been the one to arrest the supposed Straw Man, Costa, who replaced his victims' internal organs with straw.
However, Costa claims he had blackouts before he was arrested and put on medication for his schizophrenia, but even so, he knows he didn't kill those 21 people. Kennex's father believed him and told him he was working on something involving robotics and crooked cops, but he was killed in the line of duty two weeks later. Because his father had used an alias Kennex recognizes when he visits Costa, the stitches in the new victims are an exact match to those in the previous ones and his father's case notes propose the theory that the Straw Man abducted Costa and planted evidence on him to make the police think the case was solved, Kennex is inclined to believe that the real killer is still out there.
His father had also circled the victims' feet in the photos on file, and the latest body is too clean for someone who lived on the streets, even just for three weeks. Dorian notices the victim is flat-footed, and Rudy figures out what they're dealing with and shows them with an organic printer and a cupcake. The bodies found are clones; drones look for the missing, but no one looks for the dead. But why is the Straw Man keeping his victims?
Pinpricks on the victims' fingers lead the police to the killer's hunting grounds – shelters – and they set up an op to find him. It works, and when they find his lab, they find tech on the victims – and two girls are still alive. Their killer tries to dupe them with a clone of himself, but when he attacks Kennex, Kennex comes out on top and they discover biotech in his body; he had been made into a cyborg.
Glen Dunbar had a record for trading illegal tech on the black market, and the printer and various parts in his lab are all from police evidence. He had been using the biotech to rebuild his body, and when the biotech began to break down, he needed new test subjects. The case also leads back to Kennex's father, who had been under investigation for stealing seized robotic tech and selling it on the black market. However, Kennex never believed it, and he tells Dorian about how his father refused to get his hands dirty and take money from a bust, even when his task force leader threatened his life. Kennex's father had connected the flat feet to the printer, signing his own death certificate. Grant had been in charge of the printer, and he was killed in the line of duty three weeks after Kennex's father. He had tried to pin it on him, and while Kennex would never know if he was responsible for his father's death, with this case, he finishes his father's work and clears his name.
Partnership solidified It's time for the yearly review of the android officers, and that means checking in to see how Dorian's doing since he was recommissioned. Maldonado just says is she thought Dorian and Kennex needed each other. Rudy is too nervous and ends up saying he trusts him enough to take care of his baby. Kennex sings his praises, with the added "he flipped a van once, that was cool."
Dorian just wants to keep his job – "The fact that I get to suit up every day, do this job and help people, it's the best thing that's ever happened to me," he told the board – so when they call him back in, he takes Rudy's advice and goes in all MX-like. However, that's unnecessary because they're renewing his term after his glowing reviews. In particular, he's made a positive impression on Kennex, who gives him credit for still wanting to be on the force.
After hearing that, Dorian presents Kennex with a gift: a new leg, one that won't be on the market for months. Kennex denies saying what the board says he had, but his partner's touched. "That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said about me," Dorian says as he gets emotional. "I was made to feel, John." After that, a call comes in, and as they respond, it almost feels like that this could be the series finale, doesn't it? Sure, there are still unanswered questions that need to be addressed, but given the rest of the season, this ending is fitting and it wouldn't exactly be that disappointing for the show to end like this.

Glady's Rolling Out Dinner Service, Expanding Next Door
Morris Grilled Cheese is getting its first brick-and-mortar space.
Up until now, the (sort of literal) bread and butter of Crown Heights restaurant Glady's, which opened in April and is named for owner Michael Jacober's paternal grandmother, has been its sandwiches. There's the corned beef Bubie, the dry-aged burger with melted Tilsit, and more. Now Jacober has two major developments in the works: First, he's signed a lease on the space next door, which he'll devote to the very first brick-and-mortar outpost of Morris Grilled Cheese, his other endeavor. Come next spring, expect a takeout spot featuring some of Morris's staples, as well as some dishes from Glady's favorites, including prepared foods and ice cream.
Next up are service changes at Glady's, specifically the debut of entrées along with the dinner menu. They include:
Half-Rotisserie Chicken
8-hour brine, 24-hour air dry. Cooked on the rotisserie over hardwoods, basted with fennel butter. Served with oak vinegar-dressed arugula and radish salad.
Coal-Roasted Celery Root
Roasted in embers, warmed in vegetable stock, crème fraîche, and butter, served with hazelnut and black-garlic dotted lovage salad.
Grilled Pork
Wood-grilled loin, braised belly, with white lima beans and mizuna.
Charred cabbage, oyster mushrooms, Empire apples.
Short Ribs
Braised and grilled, with Japanese turnips, panisse, and bagna cauda.
Entrées, which will change frequently, range in price from $17 to 24.

Thanks to m&c! forum moderator Pilchard-san for posting this in the manga release thread:
Yup, the official Indonesian release of Ohba Tsugumi-sensei & Obata Takeshi-sensei's Death Note manga will be this October for volume 1 and November 2007 for volume 2. From what I (and everybody else reading this post) can make out, the first tankoubon is subtitled "boredom," the second, "join." (For comparison, the English VIZ-licensed release of the same volume is subtitled "Confluence.")
That's it. Isn't it enough for rejoicing? ^^
~nik who will be back with the m&c! manga releases for 11 September 2007 (the newest Special A, anyone? ^^)

that's actually a decent sports reporter they have there in Mason City.
Honestly, I think Fred won't leave until Iowa State is in most conversations with the blue blood programs. Who wouldn't want to be known in ISU's history of making them a top tier program?
I know it's been mentioned before, but this conversation of him and these NBA teams could be a double-edged sword every year. Recruits see he's a sought after coach, they may be swayed to another program in fear of him leaving. If him turning down the Celtics job is true, I view that as a positive showing these prospects he'll be around awhile and to reassure them.
Must suck to be Iowa, since Fran does everything right...and CFH seems to be on every program's want list.
I'm confused, didn't Perrault conceed in that column that it was likely a joke, and now is calling out Georges for later saying itw as a joke?
Perrault is still a ******... Good to know.

3. They commit
4. Win championships
Somewhere in there we get white helmets. I just don't i know where!
and SEZ!
Only on CycloneFanatic could someone find something wrong with our head coach turning down one of the most storied franchises in the history of professional sports.

Oh Matty. Still an idiot. It does make me giggle thinking about him thinking about the guy he killed when he was hired coaching his team (and matt went way beyond reasonable when doubting the hire).

Plus Niang said Hoiberg turned the job down, not like how Perrault presented it as "Well I could of gone and taken it because I was first but I'm coming back"
Leave the kid alone Perrault.

PHOTO! Here is a picture of Adam Wheeler of Harvard University. Adam Wheeler faked his Harvard education; he even faked his admissions application to Harvard.
Adam Wheeler, 23, received tens of thousand of dollars for his falsification of documents in seeking college grants. Wheeler received grants, scholarships, and other educational payments while at Harvard. Now he's receiving something different – 20 criminal counts. Wheeler is charged with crimes ranging from forgery to identity fraud.
Adam Wheeler's efforts went unnoticed until a Harvard professor noticed a similarity with some of Adam's writings to other works. Soon he discovered Wheeler's work was plagiarized, then that his Harvard education being was being fabricated, and finally that his application to Harvard had been falsified as well.
And yes, he even falsified his SAT scores.

We told you about some common spring lawn weeds that spring up in our lawn grass in our articles 5 Common lawn weeds and 5 more common lawn weeds from our friends at lovetoknow.com. Here's the final 3 from their list plus one more that's a real bugger in the Fort Worth area. Hope you have none of these plants in your spring grass this spring! Also, be sure and read the article Grow a weed-free lawn.
1 Mushrooms
While mushrooms and toadstools are fungi rather than weeds, they can still be unsightly plants and unwelcome guests on an otherwise pristine spring lawn. The plants grow rapidly in rich, moist soils, but most varieties of mushroom weeds will not harm the lawn. Plants can be picked and discarded, or killed through lawn mowing. If the problem spreads, fungicide treatments may be necessary.
2 Wood Sorrel
Wood sorrel are edible lawn weeds with a tangy taste. The plants are slightly toxic, however, and should not be consumed in large quantities. Also known as yellow oxalis, sheep sorrel, and yellow sour grass, these weeds respond well to herbicide treatments that can keep it under control.
3 Poison Ivy
In overgrown areas, poison ivy can become a spring lawn weed problem. These weeds are best known for the itchy rash it inflicts on individuals who brush against the plant, a reaction caused by the plant's urushiol toxin. When working to remove poison ivy from your lawn and yard, always take proper precautions to avoid contact between the plant and bare skin. Avoid that spring urge to roll in the grass and weeds!
4 Crabgrass
You can't list spring lawn weeds without mentioning Crabgrass. Although lovetoknow.com doesn't mention it, this rapid-spreading plant weed can cause an unsightly mess on any lawn. See garden-counselor-lawn-care for more pictures and description of crabgrass. These images show how the stolon puts roots down and branches up. Eventually it will put out a tall seed stalk. More seed stalks will shoot up from the center of the plant.
From Scotts website:
A Sprawling root
Crabgrass gets its name because it sprawls from a central root (stolon) low across the ground. It can become a problem quickly because it is able to grow vigorously in hot, dry conditions. Before dying in the fall, a single weed can distribute thousands of seeds which will be ready to germinate in spring.
More from Scotts on Crabgrass:
Set Mowing Height to High
Higher mowing encourages lawn grasses to shade and prevent the germination of crabgrass seeds. A deep, thick lawn seldom contains much crabgrass. You can discourage crabgrass by mowing at the proper height for your grass type.
Deep Water Your Lawn
Weeds are better adapted to adverse growing conditions than most lawn grasses. Shallow and infrequent watering will only weaken the roots of your grass, while allowing the crabgrass to thrive and take over. Water lawns deeply and less frequently. When you water, wet the soil to a depth of 4-6 inches. This usually requires the equivalent of 1/2-1 inch of rainfall.

Community Health
Full Title: *Community Resources and Health*
_Address delivered at the International Health Conference on Interaction of Health and Development, Washington, U.S.A. March 28th – 30th 1977, National Council for International Health_
�This whole system of values – the techniques and structures – were superimposed so it was not easy to break through them. When we were children, we still remember that, for most of the illnesses, for which we now rush to the doctor, there were very effective home remedies both curative and preventive. This system was a type of a primary health care, prevailing in our society. These systems were not killed by our people, but they were smothered out of existence by the surreptitious introduction of so-called modern systems of western medicine�!
Friends, I was wondering why I accepted the invitation to address a professional group like you, particularly, as I am a village worker. Human beings have strange ways and when I got the cable asking me to come and speak to you, promptly I responded, without thinking why.
Now I am here and I will think aloud on the theme you have given me, Community Resources and Health. I represent the movement which was introduced as Sarvodaya: �Sarva� means all, �Udaya� means awakening – awakening all. So, to me community means everybody – all of humanity. If I may go further, community means the entire living world, because in our culture, health or even medicine is defined as something that is found everywhere. It cannot be taken out of any experience or situation which affects the mental or the physical well-being of man.
To give a good example, in Buddhist literature the most famous physician was a man called Jeevaka. He had to undergo training for a very long time under his teacher in the city of Taksila. For seven years, he studied under this teacher and he was a brilliant student. One day, he asked his teacher, �Sir, I have been with you for seven years. Everything you taught me, I have studied. Could you tell me how much longer have I to study under you before I could start practising�? The teacher told him, �You had better go around the City, an area of sixteen square miles, make a list of things that cannot be used for medicine, and then come back�. So this student went around everywhere, trying to make a list of things that he could not use for medicine. He came back and told the teacher, �Sir, their is nothing I could find that cannot be used for medical purposes�.
Now, in the Eastern part of the world, this is the way that we look at things. For example, our science of medicine is called ayurveda – science of life. So, to me, to build up the health of a people, the greatest resource we have is our physical and our living environment. First, the human being. In my country, I have had experience for the last almost 25 years in trying to mobilize the resources for the well-being of man. When you have to mobilize human beings as a resource for their own well-being you have to find out what the most valued thoughts in their culture are.
In my culture, every human being was supposed to work towards the total awakening of his full personality, based on certain principles. To awaken one�s personality people believe that the first principle they should accept is the thought of well-being of all – respect for all life. Respect for man, animal and plant. Respect for all life, therefore, was the fundamental principle on which all great cultures in Asia, particularly in India and Sri Lanka, were built.
In my own country, people had a sort of a national anthem which they sang for nearly 25 centuries in which they said. �May there be seasonal rains. May there be non-violent economic prosperity. May the entire world be happy. May the rulers be righteous�. Now, this was the wish of the community – the wish of the nation. In other words, they never thought in terms of the well-being of the majority. When you look at the figures which Dr. James P. Grant just gave, my country happens to be one of the better off countries in the developing world. But, are we going to be satisfied with this? Personally, I am not going to be satisfied until such time as every single human being is free of disease.
There is no equivalent word in our language for disease. We call it dukka. Dukka means contact with suffering. Suffering may be due to a number of reasons, thus a person can become ill due to a number of reasons. One may be due to the introduction of a certain virus or germ or bacillus; secondly, there may be physical ailments due to your metabolic process not functioning well; thirdly, there may be certain mental disabilities; fourthly, their are natural causes such as hunger, thirst, senility and, finally, death. All these conditions result in contact with suffering.
So, the culture to which we are born provided us with a method by which a form of healing was evolved whereby we could experiment and discover the four causes of suffering. In the case of the first, perhaps they resorted to surgery; in the case of the second, they may have used medicine; in case of the third they might have applied a sort of psychiatry or some similar type of treatment. Fourthly, in the case of natural diseases – when I say natural, I have in mind conditions like senility. Why are we born? Why do we die? Why do we get old? There are some spiritual answers to these rather cryptic questions. That is why, in certain holy texts, Lord Buddha was referred to as the �Biggest Healer�; not because he healed physical ailments, but because he relied on the inscrutable power of nature in curing even deadly diseases. He said, �I have found a way. Here you are! You also try it out�.
Therefore, I say that personality �awakening�, is the foremost thing in life, and acceptance of the thought, �respect for all life�, leads one to compassionate action. What I do now, including my coming here, can be regarded as a compassionate action. I believe that every body should have welfare, but there are people who are suffering. As a human being, if I go in search of those who are suffering, and do something – some compassionate action to remove the causes that lead to their suffering – I become happy, because I have made a positive contribution to ensure another�s happiness.
So, there is a thought – respect for life – and there is compassionate action – to remove causes that lead to suffering. Third, there is an immediate result, the joy of sharing one�s joys with others. And this would almost effortlessly lead to a fourth state, namely, mental balance. This state may be described as equanimity. These are the four principles which determine whether a human being is on the path to true progress. So this line of action provided the philosophy for the individual.
The culture, on the other hand, provided another set of principles for the society.
If, as a group, we are to progress within the ambit of a family, or a village, or a nation, or even the world community there should be certain basic principles guiding us. Most important of all principles is the principle of sharing – sharing of knowledge, sharing of resources, sharing of love, compassion etc. This should be cultivated as a fundamental quality among human beings. Then comes �pleasant language�, the refined art of communicating with one another. You know in the world today, how much money, how much resources, are being spent to alienate man from man, rather than to integrate different groups of human beings. Third in importance comes �constructive activity�. As a general rule, human beings should get together only for the purposes of constructive activity. Fourthly, equality in relationship with others.
So, based on these eight principles, four of which are meant for the individual, and four for the group, we started a movement to bring about a type of all-round development, starting from the grass roots level. We are a country of village communities, like most others in the world. We have about 23,000 villages in our country. In these 23,000 villages, over 85 percent of our people live. And these people have had, as I pointed out earlier, a rich culture. How far can we harness this culture to bring about betterment in their lives? Groups of us, who accepted these ideas, started going to village areas, not with a patronizing attitude, but with a certain feeling of oneness with the rural communities. We lived with them; we talked with them; we planned out development programmes with them; and then we worked together, shoulder to shoulder, with them to solve some of the basic problems that they were faced with. In this process, whether they were engaged in education or trying to increase the income of village communities, one fundamental factor emerged, that is that all the problems in village life have a strong inter-relationship.
Unless we learn to look at these problems sympathetically, we may fail to appreciate that a problem in a rural community in Sri Lanka may have a direct relevance to your way of life in this country. We cannot escape that fact. There is however, a vicious circle that is operating. We have to break this vicious circle that is operating. We have to break this vicious circle – a circle which is composed of illiteracy, disunity, disease and ignorance – which has to be correctly identified for a solution to be effected. Because of illiteracy, a man may have a low income; because of illiteracy, a man may suffer from disease. Because of illiteracy and low income and disease, a man may be subjected to a political and economic type of exploitation. In other words, this whole thing works in the form of a vicious circle.
When we go to a village community, the first thing we have to do is to lay a psychological infrastructure in the village which will enable us to transcend all man-made barriers and try to think together. I think I should explain to you what I mean by the psychological infrastructure. This is very important, because various people have various notions of people�s participation. Everybody speaks of people�s participation. A bureaucrat going into a rural area in his brand new imported jeep, and having a few words with the village people, comes back to the office and speaks jubilantly of �People�s participation in planning�. That is just poppy-cock!
During the last two centures or so, our country, which was subjected to colonial rule, evolved three dangerous structures. The first of these can be regarded as the system of economic exploitation, where the rural areas were exploited by people in urban areas for the preparation of which a certain legal base was supplied by their successors. The second obnoxious structure can be regarded as the highly bureaucratized administration in which the administrator was not responsible to the village community, but was responsible to his superior administrator – the hierarchy ascending up to the administrative capital, Colombo. This type of bureaucratic system did not represent the aspiration of the people but represented the wishes of the rulers. Third, although of very recent origin, a political system – a party political system where the village – level party politician did not represent the wishes of the village people, but rather was an instrument of the people in the city or in some instances reflected the views of entirely alien countries – grew up quite menacingly!
So, people had to work within these systems. The ethos of rural people was destroyed by the aforementioned three systems, and one of the fundamental principles we had to face was to find ways and means of changing the unpleasant situation arising out of these systems and evolve some positive paths to progress, introducing in the wake a judicious health-care system, as well.
Other countries had departments of health. So it was natural that we also should have a department of health! They had a director for this department. Therefore, we too, should have a director. They had superintendents of health services, so we also should have superintendents of health services. The doctors in other countries received a very high income and enjoyed a special social status. So it came to pass that our doctors should also be well paid, whether people live or die, and maintain their status at all cost.
This whole system of values – the techniques and structures – were superimposed, so it was not easy to break through them. When we were children, we still remember that, for most of the illnesses, for which we now rush to the doctor, there were very effective home remedies both curative and preventive. This system was a type of a primary health care, prevailing in our society. These systems were not killed by our people, but they were smothered out of existence by the surreptitious introduction of so-called modern systems of western medicine! Of course, now, a new respect for traditional systems seems to emerge unobtrusively, and we of the movement have not failed to take cognizance of this trend and push it whole-heartedly to the benefit of the country.
In this context, it would appear that problems of health in rural areas are interrelated to a number of other problems – issues that affect the community as a whole. So in our Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement, we first think of some activity – may be an access road to the village, may be a system of irrigation for the village and the rice field, may be the sinking of a series of wells or latrines, something that the people feel they badly need – and set about to achieve it. That is the genesis of a Shramadana work camp, where we who have come from a number of other villages will live together, eat together and work together, planning out collectively and arriving at decisions by consensus. Here the people join for a common purpose motivated by the ideals of brotherhood of man, working shoulder to shoulder as equals in a common endeavour, and the end result is a successful development programme fulfilled, while imparting of a kind of non-formal education. But we will not fail to get expert advice when deemed necessary. This actually is an effective exercise in reversing the existing bureaucratic process.
During these Shramadana work camps, we meet three times a day in what is called a �Family Gathering�. The idea is to foster and cultivate assiduously the spirit of brotherhood in the minds of all the participants. The farmer realizes how much modern knowledge there is, how much he has to learn. The professor realizes how ignorant he is with regard to the life of the village communities. Thereby a two-way communication line is established. In other words, it becomes an educational process for both these groups. This becomes all the more important because, if we are to change the present situation in our communities, we have to think of an integrated approach by which we can bring about a change in the thinking, in the attitudes, in the values, in techniques and in the change in structures.
All these three things have to go together. I will illustrate. About 18 years ago, as a young, very enthusiastic rural worker, I was very keen that every house should have a latrine. So with great difficulty, I persuaded a family to put up a latrine. About a year later, I visited that village again, and I found the same latrine beautifully locked up with a padlock. I went and asked the man what happened: �Are you not using it, or have you kept it very clean�? He said, �Sir, at that time we agreed to put it up because my daughter was expecting to get married, and somebody was coming to see the daughter, but that got postponed. Therefore, we are waiting until that occurs�.
Now what did we do? We gave them that instrument, but we did not change their attitudes. We did nothing else, not even in the area of techniques. Today, it is different. After the initiation stage where we get a majority of the people in the community thinking and planning together and participating in the implementation of those plans, we come to a second stage, where we build up a sort of a social infrastructure in the village.
There are pre-school children in the village and they are organized into a group. The school-going children seven to fifteen years of age are organized into another group. The mothers� group, the youth group, out of school youth group, farmers� group, and what we call others� groups are organized, and inspired and trained to service.
So in a village, we get six functional groups organized, not one after the other, but create situations where the groups evolve spontaneously. And then, these groups start discussing. For example, my own nine year old son, from November 5th last year to November 5th next year, has organized about 300 children of his age. And what do they do? They have distributed an earthenware pot into which children have to put boiled and filtered water and drink water only from that.
In other words, in a very functional way, they learn positive health habits. In this way, not only the adults, not only the professionals, but even very small children, through song and dance and various activities, get organized so that they are able to play their role in building up the health of community – that is, the total health in all aspects of the group of people living in the village.
From the psychological infrastructure stage to the social infrastructure, we come to a third stage where we try to get the best use of modern knowledge by training people from those communities themselves in small institutions we have established. We have 50 small and six large institutions where people are able to come, individually, or as a group, and learn modern applications in the fields of agriculture or health or education. Now these people, when they go back to the villages, generally as teenagers or in their early twenties, there is an input of leadership that is not only an inspired type of leadership from cultural and spiritual values, but also leadership with scientific knowledge added.
These groups of people lay a foundation to activate the economic life of the village. In other words, they go into the areas of irrigation, improved agriculture, small industries, and now appropriate technologies. And these things need, sometimes, financial inputs. For this purpose, we have established a small revolving fund which we help these people to find the necessary capital for them to start their ventures. So, very briefly, starting from the cultural base of a people, we have been able to develop a programme whereby nearly 120,000 families have become participants in a self-development programme.
Of course, this type of programme in politically highly active societies like ours, is very difficult to develop, because various interest groups would look at this type of programme as a threat to their own well-being. In spite of this, we have been able to survive, because we have kept away from any party or ideological, political groups. We allowed this to develop as a movement, where people themselves are the masters of what they decide and implement. Therefore, we are able to survive.
In the Sri Lanka situation, as Dr. Grant very rightly mentioned, we were benefited by very early social welfare measures taken in our country. As early as the late 1940s, there was free distribution of rice which helped the vast majority of people in maintaining a minimum level of nutrition. There were free health services, and there was free education. These three measures taken by respective governments made our task much easier. Subsequently, for the last seven or eight years, there has been much legislation that brought about basic social changes, such as in land reform. These things helped us very much.
But all these things can be meaningful only if we do not lose sight of the importance of the quality of the individual in this whole process of development. In our mad rush to increase productivity, to increase per capita income, we lose sight of many things, and most often, forget the human being.
Now in the context of our world, I believe that there should be more consideration given to the mental health of our people. Today, our society – I can speak for my own Sri Lankan society – would have been much richer if the dicision-making groups in our country were healthier in their minds, because rash decisions on the part of mentally sick person holding immense power can bring about unwholesome situations to millions of people.
This is only an introduction. I believe that, during the course of the discussions, I will be able to explain to you in greater detail how, based on cultural and spiritual values, we are attempting to make use of all the available resources in the community – beginning from the village and going up to the world – and trying to better the health of our people.

What is ICEL?
The International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL) is a mixed commission of Catholic Bishops' Conferences in countries where English is used in the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy according to the Roman Rite. The purpose of the Commission is to prepare English translations of each of the Latin liturgical books and any individual liturgical texts in accord with the directives of the Holy See.
Eleven Conferences of Bishops are currently full members of ICEL. They are: Australia, Canada, England and Wales, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Scotland, Southern African, and the United States of America.
Each of these Conferences
elects one bishop to represent it on the Commission. The members
are at present:
The Most Revd Denis Hart, Archbishop of Melbourne, Australia
The Most Revd Brian J. Dunn, Bishop of Antigonish, Canada
The Most Revd George Stack, Archbishop of Cardiff, Wales
The Most Revd Dominic Jala, S.D.B., Archbishop of Shillong,
The Most Revd Martin Drennan, Bishop of Galway, Ireland
The Most Revd Patrick Dunn, Bishop of Auckland, New Zealand
The Most Revd Andrew Francis, Bishop Emeritus of Multan, Pakistan
The Most Revd Julius Tonel, Bishop of Ipil, the Philippines
The Most Revd Hugh Gilbert, Bishop of Aberdeen,
The Most Revd Valentine Seane, Bishop of Gaborone,
The Most Revd Arthur Serratelli, Bishop of Paterson, New
Jersey, U.S.A
In addition, there are fifteen other Conferences of Bishops
where English is used in the Liturgy to a lesser extent, though they have
access to liturgical texts prepared by ICEL.
The Bishops of ICEL are assisted in their work by the
professional staff of ICEL's Secretariat, which is located in Washington, D.C.
The Secretariat coordinates the work of specialists throughout the English-speaking
world in the preparation of translations.
When an ICEL translation has been completed and approved by
the Bishops of the Commission, it is sent to the Member and Associate-Member Conferences
for their consideration.
ICEL itself is not a publisher of liturgical books and
related materials in the usual sense. Rather, like individual authors,
translators, or editors, it provides the content of such publications to the
Conferences who in turn authorize publishing firms.
Bishops from English-speaking countries attending the Second
Vatican Council set up the Commission in Rome
in 1963. On 15 September 2003, the Congregation for Divine
Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments formally established ICEL as a mixed
commission in accordance with the Holy See's Instruction Liturgiam authenticam.

For many movie-goers, even fans of action flicks, heroes and villains that resemble long haul trucks do not make for a satisfying movie experience. For them, this summer's "Transformers: Age of Extinction" would not be a good choice. But its director, Michael Bay, proved his chops with human actors in "The Rock," from 1996.
Set in San Francisco and the former prison Alcatraz, "The Rock" focuses on several men whose personal and professional lives are problematic. Nicolas Cage plays Stanley Goodspeed, a chemical weapons expert who works for the FBI and is accustomed to working in laboratories, not in field situations. Shortly after learning that his girlfriend is pregnant, Stanley is summoned to the city by the bay by FBI Director Womack (played by John Spencer). Stanley's scientific expertise is needed because decorated General Francis Hummel (played by Ed Harris) has hostages on Alcatraz and is planning to launch VX gas rockets into the city unless the government pays benefits to families of soldiers who have died under his command. The director has also enlisted former Alcatraz inmate John Mason (played by Sean Connery), the only person ever to escape the prison, to help with the mission. Stanley and John go with a team of Navy SEALS to the formidable island. When all the trained SEALS are shot and killed, the pair have to diffuse the rockets and stop General Hummel and his men on their own.
"The Rock" is not a very original movie, but it is still fun to watch since it has a lot of memorable action scenes and capable actors to command the screen. We see a human side to John when he tries to locate his long-lost daughter. This leads to a thrilling car chase through the streets of San Francisco.
Nicolas Cage gives an enjoyably over-the-top performance as the nervous but smart Stanley. Sean Connery is amazing as John who, despite having spent decades in prison, is quite tough and resourceful. They make a great team. Ed Harris is equally good. He is more sympathetic than many movie villains.
"The Rock" is Michael Bay's best film.

Henry Waxman, Health-Care Power Broker
Henry Waxman just unseated John Dingell as chairman of the powerful House Committee on Energy and Commerce. That's a big deal for the health-care world, because the committee will be one of the key power centers for any big health-care reform bills. And it's a central player in Congress' relations with the drug and device industries.
House Democrats voted 137 to 122 in favor of Waxman. It's an unusual move, given that the party usually gives chairmanships based on seniority, and that the 82-year-old Dingell — the second-longest serving House member in history — fought to hold onto his post. He became a congressman in 1955.
Waxman, 69, and generally considered more liberal than Dingell, cited the committee's health-care powers as part of the reason he wanted the job. But he also mentioned energy and climate change, and those issues may have played a more important role in swaying the votes of House Democrats.
Dingell is from Michigan, and House Dems probably thought his close ties to the big automakers would make him reluctant to push for major reforms on energy and climate change, WSJ's WashWire notes.

The Javascript reset method for forms is not supposed to affect hidden inputs, but in IE8 and IE7 it does anyway. Does anyone know a way to make it behave properly?
I know I can do it by looping through individual inputs or by remembering the values before resetting the form and then restoring them but I am wondering if anyone can come up with a simpler way. Feel free to use jQuery if it will make your solution simpler. You can see an example at http://jsfiddle.net/Ddtz4/.
According to the author of the plugin, this is supposedly not an IE bug and the effect of the reset method on elements without initial values is undefined.

Low doses of the cancer treatment drugs vorinostat and givinostat were found to produce the reversion of diabetes and prevent diabetes in mouse trials conducted by researchers in Denmark, Belgium, Italy, Canada, the United States, Holland, and Sweden that was reported in the Jan. 6, 2014, edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Vorinostat and givinostat are a class of molecules that inhibit the action of lysine deacetylase.
The researchers fed mice that had been genetically selected to have a predisposition to have diabetes low doses of vorinostat and givinostat for 100 to 120 days after the mice were weaned. The mice were not obese.
The combination of drugs reduced the instance of the development of diabetes in the test mice by 38 percent to 45 percent.
Both drugs were found to promote the development of new islet cells in the pancreas. Islet cells are destroyed by diabetes. The increase in the number of islet cells in mice that had diabetes was manifested by an increase in insulin production by 200 percent.
The researchers found that the mechanism of action of both drugs was specific enough to diabetes to warrant human trials in people that have diabetes. The dosage of the drugs administered to the test mice was small enough to be compatible with humans and produce minor side effects.
This is the first demonstration that a combination of drugs that are approved for the treatment of cancer can specifically target and reverse the cause of diabetes.

On my first visit to Dallas more than 20 years ago, friends took us to a steak house in Grapevine for a memorable evening of country music and two-step. I had just completed a series of dance lessons at Arthur Murray's, and it was the perfect opportunity to strut my stuff on the dance floor (wishful thinking and not at all reality).
Grapevine is a historic, charming town nestled between Dallas and Fort Worth and is perfect for a weekend getaway. It has a great sense of community and there are plenty of adventures to be had from touring the local winery's to taking a tour on one of the vintage railroads, or attending one of the many local festivals.
Melissa's Top Pick's:
• Great Taste of Grapevine: April 8th - Features 40 restaurants in one location and is held at Hilton DFW Lakes.
• New Vintage Wine Tour: April 16th and 17th - Spend a day on the Grapevine wine trail during the Blessing of the Vines and New Vintage Wine & Gallery Trail.
• Gaylord Texan Resort – Check out their website for web-only specials and enjoy a weekend of luxury and relaxation at this spectacular resort.
Make your plans now and start your weekend with a "two-step' back in time on historic Main Street in Grapevine, Texas where you'll find plenty of shopping and good places to eat.
Thanks for being a loyal reader and have a great trip.

Lightweight Men Relish Role As Hunter At Eastern Championships
MORNING LANE ASSIGNMENTS l FINALS SCHEDULE l EARC CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY
Princeton has spent the last three years as the hunted during the EARC men's lightweight championships. When Marty Crotty's squad hits Lake Quinsigamond for Sunday's 2012 regatta, the Tigers can savor their role as hunter.
The 2012 EARC Championships will be held Sunday in Worcester, Mass., and Princeton enters the weekend having won the Wright Cup (varsity eight) 16 times. Princeton won both the 2009 and 2010 championships, and the Tigers placed second to Harvard last season.
Princeton will enter the event seeded fourth this year after going 4-4 during the regular season. The last race was the annual H-Y-P showdown, and Princeton scored a victory over reigning national champion Yale that should give it added momentum heading into this Sunday.
Of course, Princeton is counting on far more than one victory to use for confidence this weekend. This is a team that realized last season that it wasn't at its best for the biggest races, and it changed its training to fix that for 2012.
"I think the team has been very focused through and through," said senior Steven Cutler, a member of the varsity eight. "The H-Y-P regatta showed us we must gain speed. We've done a lot of drilling and race pieces that have prepared us as much as possible for the coming weekend at Sprints. This past weekend we had a few of our most consistent and fastest race pieces down Lake Carnegie this year, so we are primed and ready to go for Sprints."
Harvard topped Princeton by 4.2 seconds for the Goldthwait Cup, and the undefeated Crimson will enter Sprints as the top seed. Dartmouth, coached by Princeton graduate and former open head coach Dan Roock '81, will be the second seed; Princeton and Dartmouth did not meet this season. Georgetown was 2-0 against the Tigers during April, so it earned the third seed, while Princeton holds the fourth seed.
Princeton will need a top-three finish in its semifinal heat to qualify for the final. The Tigers will likely see Harvard, Yale, Navy and Penn in its heat, and they went 3-1 against that field.
Of course, past results won't mean a thing when the semifinals begin. The magic of Sprints is that it gives every team a fresh chance to win a championship.
"Personally, I feel the Sprints championship weekend is an incredible event," Cutler said. "You can always count on every single guy bringing his best effort at Sprints. It is such a special event because you have multiple crews, all filled with guys who weigh the same, who will fight you for all 2000 meters of the course. That only happens a few times a year."
After such a disappointing conclusion to 2011, when Princeton missed out on EARC gold and failed to medal at IRAs, the Tigers are now looking for a dream ending for what has been a roller coaster 2012 season.
"This year we have seen increasing boat speed from week to week," Cutler said. "To be honest, I feel this group absolutely has the potential to take home the 1V and Jope Cup titles this weekend if we perform to our potential. Aside from our first race against Navy, which we won, we have just been a few percent off each week, really just about a 300-400 meter stretch that has cost us multiple races.
"That is what we have been focusing on since HYP's, and we think if we can utilize our strength off the starting line, we will put ourselves right in the mix for a big upset over the other crews," he added. "It's the first time in a while that the Princeton 1V is not ranked within the top few, so any pressure that brings is completely off, but I think it has created an atmosphere on our team to really want the title more. And again, for me personally, I'd like a second chance after last year to prove we should be on top in this league."
Both the Princeton 2V and the freshman eight will be seeded in the top five. The second varsity went 5-3 on the season and is seeded fifth, while the freshman eight is seeded third. The freshmen were 6-0 before falling to both top-seeded Yale and second-seeded Harvard on April 28; that race was closely contested, though, and each of the three is a main contender for the Cornell Trophy.

Nokia 808 PureView delayed in the UK until mid-late July?
The Nokia 808 PureView may have been delayed in the UK. According to the relevant page up on retailer Clove's website, the first PureView phone is now slated to arrive only in mid-to-late July. That's also what the aforementioned company told one of its customers who pre-ordered a Nokia 808 PureView. Said customer sent the email he received from Clove to MyNokiaBlog.
The gist of it is this: the phone is indeed delayed until July. There is, however, a big caveat here. So we're not sure the delay applies to the entire UK market, or just to that one specific retailer. It may just be that Nokia will manage to launch the 808 with an operator or two, or even through some kind of time-based exclusive deal with another retailer (as it has done in the past with both Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4U) before mid-July.
Or maybe the Finnish company is so busy tweaking the 808's camera that it really won't ship any units until later this summer. All of these are plausible hypotheses, so until we find out more, hold tight. Though it has to be said, if you were anxiously waiting for what is the best cameraphone ever made, things aren't looking too bright at the moment. You may just need to be patient for a couple more months. We'll keep you posted.

|Vandals clip Redhawks
MOSCOW – The Idaho women's tennis team won all six singles matches in straight sets to overcome its first doubles loss in April in a 6-1 Western Athletic Conference win over Seattle U on Friday.
The Vandals improve to 10-10 on the season and 3-3 in WAC play with the win.
Victoria Lozano breezed through her No. 1 singles match with a 6-2, 6-0 win and Almudena Sanz won 6-4, 6-1 at No. 2. Constance Alexander won 6-1, 6-1 at No. 3, Belen Barcenilla won 6-1, 6-2 at No. 4, Beaty Flores won 6-3, 6-3 at No. 5 and Sophie Vickers won 6-1, 6-2 at No. 6 for Idaho.
"The players have really been stepping up and showing leadership," Idaho coach Myriam Sopel said. "It's really good that they can lead by example and I'm really pleased with the effort of everybody overall."=
Idaho will take on No. 66 San Jose State at 3 p.m. on Saturday and wrap up the weekend against Texas State on Sunday at 10 a.m. in Moscow, weather permitting.
It's great to get the first win of the weekend. The past two matches have been good for their confidence and a good boost for the next matches. We are taking them one at a time. We know San Jose State is good, they're ranked. If we go out there and compete and believe in our shots and believe in ourselves, we have a really good shot at winning.
The Vandals wrap up the regular season at Utah State on April 20 before heading to the WAC tournament in Denver April 25-28.
Idaho 6, Seattle U 1

This weekend the moon was in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligned with Mars when Taylor Swift had a get-together. And just like the song says next - then peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars. There was a glorious harmony when our best girl friends - Taylor Swift, Lena Dunham, Emma Stone, Ingrid Michaelson, Jaime King and Jessica Szohr - had a gathering of the minds (and hearts and souls). Here is the evidence that this happened. Mind blown yet?
One of the best means with which to feel like you're BFFs with singers, writers and actresses is to follow them on Instagram or Twitter; then, when they hang out together, (that and the fact that you individually bond with them through their music, films and television) just looking at them will bring on a fit of the giggles and an estrogen high. It also helps that they hang out with normals (who are amazing) just like us. They all deserve best friend necklaces from us and a secret handshake only for us. The whole hang out should feel even closer to home for other Milwaukeeans, because the day after hanging with these people, Ingrid Michaelson rocked out at our Summerfest!
This room full of coming of age intellectuals, lyrically blessed, hilarious indie-darlings and southern belles has such an eclectic vibe, they are just begging for us to print out the photo and post it at work in a frame that reads "Family". Thank you, ladies, for being down to earth and making time for friends, silliness and girl power.

Stay scared if you'd like, but with all the mobile opportunities coming up and new sources of revenue, I'm getting more and more excited, especially with this big short interest to provide fuel. This is the time to buy, not panic. A forward P/E of 120 is warranted based on the EPS growth rate, so you could actually say that if the stock traded at $81.81, it would NOT be considered extremely pricey for a growth stock. Sounds crazy, but them's the facts folks. The slightest good news and this rockets upward.
i think you need to understand valuation. i actually like zillow as a company, but from a valuation standpoint it was wayyy overvalued. in the 40s it was priced for perfection, wall st already pricing in "beat" on rev. it was not the slight decrease in rev that dragged the price, but the realization that growth may be stalling. what you're seeing now is the Z business model being priced in and even here Z may be growing into its valuation. would argue that even here with a p/e of ~140 and a forward p/e ~36 it is still overvalued. a forward p/e of 15-20 would be more reasonable. your argument for EPS growth rate must take into account that the street already knows about that guidance and has priced it in-thus you cannot assume that EPS growth will lead to higher SP.
of course this could change very quickly is they are able to demonstrate more areas of growth and rev. but it won't be back to 40s. expecting this to drop below 20 and next earnings will be interesting.
What is a mobile opportunity? I can sit in my car and look up a home in any neiborhood (on my Iphone, tablet ect) on realtor.com. That's free. Call the agent and see the inside of the house. What's the big deal? If I'm a realtor and I sign up with Zillow. what do I get then? I think everyone likes to say mobile because it sounds catchy. How do these guys make money ads? memberships. What do you get?
You might want to take another look at the estimates, Chickenshitinhishat! Consensus estimates suggest 74% EPS growth ('13 vs '12), but only 43% revenue growth. Your use of growth rate as a proxy for expected P/E (growth % = P/E) is more valid for more mature businesses and should only be used in cases such as Titwillow's when you consider the longer term growth rate. Will Titwillow's EPS grow 74% in '14 versus '13? Will its revenues continue to compund at 43%. Give the conference call that apparently put you to sleep, one wonders how the company will achieve the kind of margin expansion that estimates suggest, given the expense initiatives that were discussed -- remember, the expense initiatives are not expected to translate quicly into revenue, evidenced by expected growth of revenue that is slower than earnings, a trend that is not sustainable.
Your numbers are very wrong, but I wouldn't expect anything less from someone that's short the stock. See ya dufus.
By the way, teh forward P/E based on yesterday's close is 45.5.

President George W. Bush arrived in Riyadh today for a three-day official visit to Saudi Arabia. It is President Bush's first state visit to Saudi Arabia, and the first by a current US president since Bill Clinton met with King Fahd in 1994.
In honor of the occasion, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz gave President Bush a red-carpet welcome at the King Khalid International Airport.
A number of Saudi and US officials were also present, including Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz, Riyadh Governor Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz, Chief of Royal Protocol Muhammad Al-Tobaishi and Saudi Ambassador to the United States Adel A. Al-Jubeir.
This evening, King Abdullah hosted a dinner in honor of President Bush at the royal palace. The King presented Bush with the King Abdulaziz Medal, an honor that is awarded to world leaders and heads of state.
During the visit, the two leaders will hold talks that are expected to cover a number of key issues, including the Middle East peace process and Iraq. They will also discuss ways to boost bilateral cooperation.
The president's trip is part of a regional tour that includes Israel, the West Bank, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt. He is accompanied by an official delegation that includes Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten, National Security Adviser Steve Hadley and other members of the administration.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by mastifflady meets the need Good quality. A little heavy and not much leverage to hold on to for the older seniors. Very attractive April 27, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by GiannasMom Glass 2 Quart Bistro Pitcher Well made glass Pitcher with indented area for grasping that fits your fingers/hand securely. Thicker glass but NOT exceptionally heavy that does not appear as if it would shatter easily if dropped. Great for kitchen use since the glass will NOT absorb odors from other items in the refrigerator. I also plan on using it for Ice Cold summer drinks on the patio. Great Quality at a Reasonable price. January 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by SillySally High quality! Great find -- it's an Anchor Hocking pitcher, AND it's made in the USA! It's thicker glass than the pitcher I got at a name-brand kitchen store for more $$. Yes, the stopper sits on top of it -- I don't think you're supposed to pour liquid through it, it's just a top. Overall, very happy with this purchase! I bought two, possibly more. Thanks World Market! April 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ReneeInOregon Great for keeping milk or juice fresh-no cardboard taste! This is just what I was looking for! I buy my milk and juice in cardboard 1/2 gallon containers and wonder how much of the coating on the inner cardboard lining leaches out into the fluid. I also like that the glass gets cold and thus keeps the liquid at a colder temp. Regarding the prior review on this item, the stopper is not meant to be kept on the container while pouring - it is meant to keep on the container to keep air out. Pull the stopper (it pulls very easily) out to pour, and put back in. It's just a rubber stopper (BPA-free, too I might add!). It also looks lovely in my 'fridge when I open the door. Now I'm purchasing the quart-sized one for my juices as I like to keep an assortment of smoothies/juices on hand. Also - LOVE the free shipping - and items come so well-packaged! July 11, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by GreenThumb98 Meh. It's all right, I guess. My hands aren't all that small or anything, but I have a hard time getting a good grip on it. Also, the lid was a little loose for my liking. And I totally saw the SAME EXACT PITCHER for like half the price somewhere else. I'd still recommend it for someone else, if the above scruples don't matter to them, but I wouldn't repurchase it. July 30, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by bklynmom2008 The Stopper is the problem While I love the glass pitcher itself, it is rendered nearly useless in regards to its purposed design, because the stopper is so loose. If you put the stopper in and pour anything out, the stopper falls right out. You can easily push the stopper right into the pitcher as well. I made have to try and wrap numerous rubberbands around it and see if it works. I am disappointed. It works great as a lidless pitcher if that's what you are looking for. July 2, 2013
