The Ballad of Clipper Darrell
For roughly 18 years, Darrell Bailey has gone by the nom de fan Clipper Darrell. He's perhaps the only superfan in the history of the Los Angeles Clippers. As the legend goes, after being fired by from his electrician job and told he would never succeed, he was watching a Clippers game. He pondered how, just like him, no one expected them to succeed, and decided he would devote himself to them.
It's the type of self-mythologizing origin story that could only emerge from the Hollywood swamp, but Bailey's devotion has made him a mainstay at Clippers games in a half-red, half-blue suit, pumping up his own players, jeering at the opponents, and doling out high fives to anyone who wants them. Such weirdness is rewarded with local celebrity in Los Angeles, where he's made himself available for public appearances and hosting opportunities, all under his Clipper Darrell persona.
That was until Wednesday, when Bailey made a surprising statement: he will be Clipper Darrell no more. "It is with great sadness," he wrote on his blog, "that I must report to all those in NBA NATION that I have been told by Clipper management they no longer want me to be Clipper Darrell, a name that was given to me by the media because of my unwavering support and team spirit." Speaking to Mediabistro, Bailey claimed that upper management had discouraged him from publicly associating with the team, and that he was offered a season ticket in exchange for dropping the nickname. (No word on the suit or the car.)
In response, the Clippers released the iciest possible statement disassociating themselves from Bailey and disavowing his claim that they'd put their foot down. "In a conversation with an authoritative and tenured Clippers' executive last week, he was asked again to either consult with the team on all public appearances and/or commercial ventures, or stop undertaking those opportunities representing himself inappropriately," the statement read. "His response was an offer to stop representing himself commercially in that way and his offer was accepted in principle." Furthermore, the statement cast aspersions on Bailey's devotion, saying, "He is not actually a fan of the Clippers, but a fan of what he can make off of the Clippers."
It's not quite fair to say that the Internet exploded with indignation – a Facebook group calling for his reinstatement presently has 33 members. But it wasn't just fans who were quick to take sides: Clippers stars Blake Griffin, Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan Tweeted in support of Bailey (though the messages later disappeared from Griffin and Jordan's feeds), while Milwaukee Bucks center Andrew Bogut offered him a green and white suit.
Stepping in the middle, Hip to Clipp's Vince Robbins tries to put it in perspective: Bailey has long been a devoted fan, yes, but he's clearly been able to benefit from using Clippers trademarks without any having official connection to the team. As Robbins notes, Bailey has been infamous for self-promotion over the years and didn't exactly give the strongest explanation of his disagreement with the team, instead looking for consensus sympathy. Still, after a decade plus of supporting a perennially hapless team, it was a pretty rough move to reject him so soundly in a press statement, of all mediums. "He was a Clippers icon," Robbins writes, "and although we had grown to be somewhat annoyed by Darrell over the years, we intentionally avoided voicing that opinion here, because when it comes down to it, he is a true fan and someone that other fans respect."
The Clippers are about to start a week-long road trip, so any public awkwardness will have to wait until March 11, when they host Golden State. Bailey will presumably attend wearing all black, as he did Tuesday. Maybe Mark Cuban's offer to become Dallas Darrell is still on the table?

It took about eight decades, but the U.S. has finally breached a new frontier: a victory over Italy in soccer, a sport in which the scales of success have traditionally been somewhat imbalanced, to say the least. In Wednesday's friendly, the score was dragging along at 0-0 until the 55th minute, when forward Clint Dempsey received a cross and booted it past the Italian goalie for the game's only goal. He was the man to do it, too: With 10 scores this Premier League season, he's become the all-time American leader in EPL goals. Dempsey became just the fourth American to ever score against Italy. Even more impressively, this marked the Yanks' first ever road win against a former World Cup champion.
The game doesn't mean much, but it's a step in the right direction for an American program looking to reinvent itself. The Journal's Matthew Futterman points out that Italy was missing several of its top players, and that with their ranking at 31st in the world, Team USA is unlikely to ascend much higher. But there is real change afoot under head coach Jurgen Klinsmann, who's quietly revamped his roster full of German-Americans who spent their formative years in Deutschland playing the sport. "If Dempsey and Landon Donovan, who missed Wednesday's game because of bronchitis, can ever get back on the field together (something that has yet to happen under Klinsmann), the U.S. team may yet cause some trouble in Brazil in 2014," he writes.

Over the past 14 NFL seasons, Hines Ward has been one of the more reliable wide receivers in the league, capturing two Super Bowls with the Pittsburgh Steelers and helping himself to a number of team records. He is old, though, and with his 2012 contract set at $4 million and the Steelers moving toward younger receivers Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown, all of that veteran experience wasn't enough to bring him back for a 15th year. The Steelers announced on Wednesday that they will release Ward, who immediately said that he'll attempt to return for another team, though it wasn't immediately obvious if he'd find any takers. Statistically, he's coming off the worst season of his career, and his 36 years don't help. "His career might not be over, but with so many younger players coming into the league and Ward now considered a chain-moving slot receiver or second option on most plays, he might not receive another chance unless an injury to someone else necessitates it," Steve Wyche says for NFL.com. CBS Sports's Mike Freeman puts it more bluntly, saying that Ward should retire now as a Steeler before suffering any mortality-related indignity like Johnny Unitas did on the San Diego Chargers.

There was bad blood between the Indiana Pacers and the Detroit Pistons long before they met for the now-legendary Malice at the Palace, but when players jump into the stands and start attacking fans, narratives tend to go out the window. Seven years later, Grantland's Jonathan Abrams presents a new oral history, one that starts at the beginning of the game and traces the story to its catastrophic conclusion, which saw suspensions handed out to nine players as well as a handful of misdemeanor assault charges. You'll learn that Ron Artest wondered out loud whether he would be punished for his role in the fight, that Jermaine O'Neal could've done much worse than the sliding punch he's remembered for throwing, and – big surprise – a handful of grudges still endure.
"What happened that night went well beyond nearly $10 million in forfeited paychecks and 146 games lost in suspensions," Abrams writes. "The melee transformed the Pacers from a Finals contender into a fringe playoff team and, eventually, a hopeless lottery case. Artest commenced a bizarre journey that took him from being one of the country's most loathed athletes to Metta World Peace. The careers of Stephen Jackson and Jermaine O'Neal were forever tainted by split-second decisions that no human could have possibly premeditated. The media debated security, fan behavior, and the tenuous relationship between players and spectators for weeks. It represented the NBA's worst nightmare: confirmation of the broad-stroke stereotype that its athletes were spoiled thugs."

Step 4: Consult nonphysicians.
Managing pain often involves taking control of your body. The three methods below are physical approaches you can try without a prescription. But "without a prescription" doesn't mean "without a doctor's knowledge." You should always tell your doctor about methods you try.
Acupuncture. The largest acupuncture study ever conducted shows that the technique significantly reduced pain and improved function for 570 patients with knee osteoarthritis who had moderate or severe pain despite taking anti-inflammatory or pain medications. The study also showed that acupuncture, like many complementary treatments, requires patience. Although people in the study had a 40 percent reduction in pain from acupuncture, they did not begin to benefit significantly more than the sham acupuncture group until week 14 of the 26-week study.
- Massage. Two thousand years ago, Hippocrates advised doctors to gain experience in "rubbing that can bind a loose joint and loosen a hard joint." Massage remains popular today and can provide temporary pain relief.
- There are numerous ways to press the flesh, from full-body Swedish massage; to deep-tissue massage that uses pressure and slow strokes on deeper muscle tissue to relieve tension; to myofascial release, which uses long, stretching strokes to relieve tension around the connective tissue of the muscles.
- Ultrasound. Using sound waves to penetrate tissues and provide heat, ultrasound may be useful for relieving pain and inflammation caused by injuries to soft tissue, muscle spasms and arthritis in a specific location such as the hand. Ultrasound treatments are performed by physical therapists or occupational therapists.
Step 5: Calm the mind to calm the body.
Easing anxiety, reducing emotional distress or depression and getting better sleep may help reduce pain, improve the ability to enjoy life again, increase the ability to cope and improve psychological well-being – the main goals of chronic pain management, according to the American Pain Society.
Tuning out or turning down arthritis pain may be possible through psychotherapy techniques such as:
• Hypnosis. An induced form of relaxation requiring self-motivation and practice, hypnosis can help some people manage pain or shift their attention from it. How does it work? In a nutshell, hypnosis gives your normally subdued subconscious mind control and gives your overworked conscious mind a break, allowing you to reach a state of deep relaxation.
• Biofeedback. People in pain can learn to control their body's responses to pain triggers. With biofeedback, sensors connect the body to a machine showing how thoughts and actions can affect the autonomic nervous system, which controls the involuntary action of the heart, lungs, stomach and intestines as well as the release of stress hormones, such as adrenaline or cortisol, from glands. Learning how to control involuntary responses like breathing and heart rate may allow other physical reactions to be controlled, too.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). If you've ever received unexpected bad news, your body probably reacted with a strange sensation in your gut. Although the pang isn't pleasant, it provides more proof that what your body feels is connected to what your mind thinks. Psychotherapists using CBT help people understand that connection and learn to control their thoughts so they can control feelings and physical reactions.

You can't be too careful these days. The back alleys of the inner city are teeming with horny dudes who'd love to show hot white chicks who stray into their 'hood just what a big, black cock really looks like. And what it feels like. Especially when it's shoved deep in their pink pussies and tight little assholes. So be very cautious in this part of town, unless these chicks really do want to get impaled by those monsters! If so, they've cum to the right place!

Crews extinguishing semitrailer fire on Kansas Turnpike
July 26, 2010
Crews have extinguished a fire on a semitrailer Monday afternoon on the Kansas Turnpike about 13 miles east of the West Lawrence exit, a dispatcher for the Kansas Turnpike Authority said.
The truck, which was hauling leather products, caught fire in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 70 in Leavenworth County. Crews were still cleaning up at 5 p.m., the dispatcher said.
No injuries have been reported.
Fire crews from Fairmount and Stranger townships in Leavenworth County responded.
Eastbound traffic was reduced to one lane through the area, and the Kansas Turnpike Authority warned of delays.

The sustainable agriculture community will be gathering for the 23rd annual Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture(PASA) "Farming for the Future Conference" February 5-8 in State College, PA. This year's theme focuses on "Letting Nature Lead."
The primary focus of the event is farming education. Workshops cover topics such as: raising various livestock, bee health, successful cheese making, running a farm business, effective land management, and produce cultivation, among many more. Intensive pre-conference tracks on topics ranging from food safety to raising poultry will be offered in the days preceding the main conference.
Several speakers and honorees are slated for the event. Daphne Miller, MD, a holistic doctor practicing in California, will perform keynote speaking duties. Miguel A. Altieri, an expert in the field of Latin American agroecology, will give the PASAbilities main speech. Additionally, a couple of local Chester County businesses will be receiving the 2014 Sustainability in Ag Leadership Award. The recipients are Victory Brewing Company, for their continued efforts to reduce energy and waste in the brewery and conserve the Brandywine Watershed, and Milky Way Farm, for switching from traditional agriculture to an organic system on their dairy farm.
Other highlights of the conference include: free legal advice for farmers, seed swaps, programs for kids, and an auction to benefit the organization. There are also social opportunities such as: yoga and knitting groups, a social hour, and a young farmer's mixer with live music. Considering the main employ of PASA members is food production, food will play a major role in the event. On the menu are a cheese tasting, a winter picnic, a Farmer's Market Café, and a Banquet Dinner, all sourced from local farmers adhering to sustainable practices.
The many facets of the "Farming for the Future Conference" serve to bring like-minded farmers together to learn, find solidarity, and inspire them to innovate and meet the demands of a sustainably-focused agriculture system.

Stillman college trustees name presidential search committee
Published: Thursday, March 20, 2014 at 5:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 20, 2014 at 5:20 p.m.
The Stillman College board of trustees on Thursday announced the members of a search committee tasked with finding a replacement for former president Ernest McNealey who resigned late last year after an abrupt leave of absence.
"We hope to complete the process by the first of the year. The process is open to all qualified candidates," said Stillman trustee Evelyn Gunn, who will lead the 12-member committee.
The search will be nationwide, according to Gunn.
Gunn, the board's vice chair, will be joined by fellow trustees Betty Brown-Williamson, Elijah D. Clark, Dennis O. Driver, George LeMaistre Jr., Charles M. Stillman and Susan Warner.
Alumna Melissia Davis will be the alumni representative. Fine arts department chair Luvada A. Harrison and assistant professor Kimberly White-Glenn will represent the faculty.
Stillman Student Government Association President Rio Jackson will be the student member and Charles R. Nash, vice chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs for the University of Alabama System will be the community representative.
The private college announced plans to convene a search committee in December 2013 after the resignation of McNealey, who had been on leave since Sept. 5, 2013.
Peter Millet, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs, has been serving as interim president since September.
McNealey's leave came abruptly a day after he welcomed students back during the fall convocation and predicted a positive year ahead on campus.

Rural Roots tour will promote agricultural history
Published: Wednesday, April 16, 2014 at 6:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 16, 2014 at 5:38 p.m.
For people who are interested in agriculture, sustainability, tourism or even history, the Tourism Recreation Investment Partnership (TRIP) for Davidson County Foundation is planning a tour to examine the rural roots of the area on May 10.
Tickets for the Rural Roots Tour may be purchased in Lexington at the Davidson County Farm Bureau at 229 N. Talbert Blvd. More information on the tour may acquired by contacting TRIP Executive Director William Deal at 336-956-6150 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The day-long event will explore the history of Davidson County and the critical role that farms, agriculture and conservation play in our local economy and our quality of life. It will include a guided motor-coach tour of farms, historical sites and other points of interest around the Arnold community of Davidson County.
William Deal, executive director of TRIP, said the tours are a way to introduce the public to the history of Davidson County, especially when it relates to farming and agriculture.
"The 2014 Rural Roots Tour offers our local residents an excellent opportunity to learn about the rich history and heritage that makes Davidson County the great community that it is today," Deal said. "The tour also shows the vital role that farms, agriculture and conservation continue to play in our local economy."
During the tour, participants will be able to meet farmers who will explain what they raise and how they operate. Tour guides will answer questions and point out interesting aspects of rural life en route.
After departing from Lexington Farmer's Market, the first stop will be a private tour of a unique collection of eight reconstructed log farm buildings. The next stop will be at Robana Farms for a look at how a farm supply and equipment dealer provides the needs of area farmers. Next will be a visit to Gentle Harmony Farm, which produces organically grown medicinal herbs.
The tour then makes an extended visit to the Arnold community, which was once a thriving center of commerce in early 20th century Davidson County. The tour will stop at Seven Springs Farms to learn about the environmental and conservational aspects of cattle production and pasture raised beef. Then the tour will visit historic Beulah United Church of Christ and will include hearing about the history of the early German settlers who built the church and a tour of the Beulah cemetery with graves and pierced headstone dating to the 1700s.
The next stop will be at C&R Nursery to learn how smaller, independent plant producers have adjusted to new economic conditions and market competition. The final stop will be at D&H Shiloh Farms, which markets fresh produce directly to the consumer through an increasingly popular cooperative arrangement known as Community Supported Agriculture.
Troy Coggins, director of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension in Davidson County, said although his department is not involved with the tour, he is pleased that there have been efforts to educate the public on the importance of agriculture in Davidson County.
"Anything we can do to give people a better understanding of why we need to preserve farms and farmland is a positive thing," Coggins said. "If they see how we used to do it, why people got away from it and how we do it today, it gives them more of a layman's grasp of the issue. These tours also promote agritourism, which has become bigger each year."
The Rural Roots Tour is hosted by TRIP's History, Agritourism and the Rural Heritage Committee with the financial support of the Davidson County Farm Bureau and the Davidson County office of Carolina Farm Credit. The Rural Roots Tour concept originated in 2007 with tours arranged and conducted by the Davidson County Cooperative Extension Advisory Leadership Council.
The cost of the tour is $20 for adults and $10 for youths under 16. The tour is limited to 47 participants and includes transportation and lunch.
Deal said the purpose of the Rural Roots Tour is to illustrate the history and the present day relevance of agriculture to the economy of Davidson County. The tour is also intended to highlight the role that farms, agriculture and our natural resources play in Davidson County's tourism industry and to showcase the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit of Davidson County's agriculture industry.
"There is a lot of history in these authentic small towns," Deal said. "Some of them are real unique and I don't think people realize how important agriculture was, and is, to our community. It is what makes Davidson County what it is today."

This week on ~{Tando}~ we have a theme of Winter Colours and to me that means frosty whites, blues and lilacs. I made this card:
I've used some of the butterflies from the ~{Mini Butterflies}~ set. Some I covered in patterned paper and inked the edges and the rest I painted with acrylic paint and stamped on them. I've added gems to the centres of the butterflies.
They really are lovely and quick to do and the perfect size for cardmaking. They are lightweight and thinner than the original chipboard, but can still take a good 'Kaz-ing'.
I stamped the base of the card with ~{Abstract Foliage}~ and the ~{Happy Birthday}~ greeting, both by Stampotique.
You can find stockists of Tando products ~{HERE}~.

Mastodon @ the 9:30 Club: sucked
Last night I saw about an hour of Mastodon live at the 9:30 Club. An hour only, because I didn't really enjoy myself. I got there late and the show was sold out, so I was stuck in the back corner of the club, where bouncers would periodically push through to throw particularly rowdy folks out the door, and where, more importantly, the sound was atrocious. I don't know if it was any better closer to the middle of the floor, but in the corner, the volume was nearly unbearable (and I had earplugs) and there was an omnipresent high-pitched screeching that I guess was caused by all the noise bouncing off the walls around me. So to be honest I couldn't tell if the band put on a good show or not; the crowd certainly was eating it up. (Metal crowds are really incomparable when it comes to really, viscerally showing enthusiasm for the music.) They sounded a little sloppy to me, but, you know, not really being able to hear anything might have contributed to that impression.
An equally big problem is that for the hour that I stayed, they were pretty much just playing Blood Mountain straight through. I have come to really dislike that album, and live it didn't come off much better; if anything, it seemed even wankier. For me, the whole concert was a battle between wanting to leave early and wanting to stay long enough to hear them do some older stuff. The former urge won out in the end.

We greatly appreciate your support, interest and contributions. More than one in every hundred people in South Africa has epilepsy, touching the lives of many more. Despite all the treatments available, many people have still not been reached and are still ostracized from their communities. The stigma and misunderstandings regarding epilepsy leave most people with epilepsy with poor self-esteems, unable to find work and therefore utterly dependent on goodwill. Your contribution will help us to protect their rights and represent their interests. You assist to ensure that they have equal access to opportunities enabling them to function optimally, live rich, fulfilling and happy lives and achieve their greatest potential in all spheres of life. We thank you once again for your contribution.

Please send us your proof of payment to firstname.lastname@example.com, or fax to (021) 595 4901, so that we have your correct detail in order to thank you properly.
Thank you for supporting people with epilepsy and other disabilities in South Africa!

Rep. Maloney Cites Need to Reassure Public About U.S. Voting System
See also Wall Street Journal: U.S. Authorities Probe How Smartmatic Won Venezuela Election Pact
The Member of Congress who first highlighted the need for an investigation of a deal involving voting machine manufacturer Smartmatic is urging the Department of Treasury to make the results of the investigation public when they are finalized. Smartmatic, a company with Venezuelan roots, announced shortly before November's elections that it was indeed undergoing a Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) investigation related to its purchase of Sequoia Voting Systems in 2005.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney (NY-14) wrote this week to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to point out the public unease about electronic voting, due to numerous glitches on Election Day and press stories about the Smartmatic investigation. It has also been reported this week that Smartmatic is the subject of an ongoing Department of Justice investigation into the possibility that the company bribed the Venezuelan government for contracts and may have committed tax fraud.
CFIUS investigations can result in no action if the Committee finds no potential problems, a presidentially-mandated break up of the deal if the Committee has serious concerns, or various levels of mitigation if the Committee believes that there are some issues that need to be addressed. Maloney says that making public the results of the CFIUS investigation would boost public confidence in the government's awareness of the American voting system.
"Let's face it, after all of the glitches and disturbing stories we see each Election Day, electronic voting has become synonymous with anxiety and uncertainty," said Maloney. "The best way our government can reassure the American people that it has total awareness and control of our voting machines is to publicize the steps it is taking to ensure the integrity of our voting system.
"The Smartmatic purchase of Sequoia may well get a clean bill of health, and for the integrity of recent elections, I hope it does. There are many possible outcomes, from an approval to a presidentially-mandated divestiture to a mitigation agreement addressing certain issues. No matter what, the public should be alerted when this case is put to bed and informed about how it was resolved. This is especially true in light of the news that Smartmatic is also the subject of a separate government investigation related to bribery and tax fraud charges. I hope Smartmatic will release the results voluntarily, and if it doesn't, I hope the Treasury will prod them to do it."
In May, Maloney first raised questions about Smartmatic with then-Treasury Secretary Jack Snow, inquiring whether the deal for Sequoia had undergone a CFIUS investigation.
In July, the Treasury acknowledged that it had initially contacted Smartmatic, although a CFIUS investigation was not underway at the time. In early October, Maloney wrote to Paulson to apprise him of the lingering questions surrounding Smartmatic.
In late October, Smartmatic announced that it was undergoing a CFIUS investigation.

It's Independence Day. Happy birthday, America.
The way I see it, you've got two choices for celebrating this holiday:
1) You listen to what Chris Mosley has already told you about the best things to do to indulge your patriotic spirit, with his guide to July 4 in Dallas, or
2) Spend these precious free hours watching Chuck Norris clips on YouTube.
It's your call. Either way, we're talking time well spent.

College Hockey:UConn Staves off Ottawa
STORRS, Conn. — Matt Owens of Connecticut scored a goal and added two assists to give the Huskies a 4-3 win over the University of Ottawa in exhibition play on Sunday afternoon at the UConn Ice Arena.
Connecticut opened the game's scoring at 2:42 mark of the first period on a power-play goal from D.J. Miller. Owens earned his first of three points on the day, and Michael Hoffman scored his first collegiate point, as both assisted on the goal.
Just under three-minutes later, Ottawa's Jean-Luc Martin tied the score on the power play. At the 15:44 mark of the period, on another power play, Owens passed the puck from behind the net to Tim Olsen, who flicked it into the top right side over the shoulder of Ottawa goalie Mathieu Blanchard. To end the period, Hugo Giguere evened the score on the first regular strength goal of the day.
UConn out shot Ottawa, 25-11, for the first period.
After almost eight-minutes of goalless action, Owens notched an unassisted tally at the 13:02 mark. Again, Ottawa tied score on a shot from Brock Boucher with 1:08 left in the period.
UConn took the lead for the third and final time in the game just 15 seconds into the third period as Jon Ames notched Connecticut's third power-play goal.
All three Huskies goalies played one period. Paul Morrissey allowed two goals, making nine saves; Artie Imbriano stopped six shots, allowing one goal; and Jason Carey held Ottawa scoreless, recording eight saves.
The Huskies will open its regular season schedule Sunday, Oct. 13 against MAAC rival Holy Cross at 5 p.m. at the UConn Ice Arena.

Midnight's Children
by Salman Rushdie
Midnight's Children Chapter 18 Summary
Commander Sabarmati's Baton
- Back at home, the ghost of Joseph D' Costa is looking pretty ratty, and soon Mary will tell her secret.
- Brass Monkey has become the favorite child, surprising both herself and Saleem. Even though she picks up Christianity to get back in the doghouse, it doesn't work.
- The Midnight's Children are also falling apart. They are distracted by their own lives and influenced by their parents' prejudices. People start leaving altogether, like Shiva. Soon enough, Saleem doesn't even try to talk to them anymore.
- Amidst all this trouble, Saleem goes to the snake doctor, Dr. Schaapsteker, to learn about the snake within himself. (Hey, he said it, not us!)
- We're not sure what's gotten into Saleem, but he is really serious about revenge now. He's even making one of those newspaper cutout ransom notes. It tells Lia Sabartami's (Homi Catrack's new girlfriend) husband that she's up to something unusual every Sunday morning.
- That Sunday Commander Sabartami shoots and kills his wife and her lover. Then, because the policeman ran away when he approached them, he directs traffic for 10 minutes.
- The nation goes wild over the case. They cover it like a tabloid would cover Ben Affleck's latest love interest. Commander Sabartami is put into Navy jail.
- He was next in line to get promoted, though, and a man with a criminal record can't get a high rank in the Navy so the Navy wants to get him off the hook. Stranger things have happened.
- At first it works and the jury says not guilty. But the judge overrules them. Guilty as charged. The case goes all the way to the President of India, but the answer remains the same: guilty.
- The case was enough to scare Amina, and she breaks things off with Nadir Khan. But there are consequences. She gets old before her time. There are other consequences to Saleem's revenge. Almost everyone moves out because the disaster ruined so many lives.
- The only people left are Saleem's family.

enforcing constraints on inductive types in Set and Type so that it complies with the homotopy approach (in the sense that the typing of inductive types with indices comply with an interpretation of the inductive types where indices such as (a:A) are interpreted as equality (a=a:A) added to the set of arguments of the constructors, and these equalities themselves interpreted as a unit or empty type when over elements in A:Prop or A:Set and virtually as morphisms when over elements in A:Type).
This patch first did not address the issue of singleton elimination and secondly put a slightly stronger restriction than needed on the typing of inductive types in Type. I plan to come back to this by the end of May.
Patches have to be applied in the Coq source directory using "patch -p1 < name-of-patch".

Programming for Tuesday, July 22, 2013
Our bodies are made up of 60% water. If we don't keep ourselves properly hydrated our body is unable to sustain our activities at optimal levels. This is especially true for the folks at CrossFit Scottsdale, who are no stranger to pushing their bodies to their physical limits. Muscles depend of proper hydration to function. Without it, the muscles' cells become shriveled, causing performance to suffer. As if that wasn't bad enough, lack of water consumption can slow muscle recovery when we are feeling sore. To avoid these negative side affects, be sure to drink water throughout the day — both before and after your workout. Your muscles will thank you for it!

text: 15 September 2009 archive See all show photos THERE aren't many people who could convince legendary models Liberty Ross and Anouck Lepere to bare their bosoms on a Saturday night, but Pam Hogg isn't like most people. In what couldn't really even be called underwear, and was in fact just one piece of black ribbon covering crucial areas, Ross opened a show that was nothing about Hogg's perceived love to shock and all about her love of dressing, and delighting, her hoards of loyal fans. The most eclectic crowd of the week - with a front row including Jodie Harsh, Stephen Jones, Martine McCutcheon, Boy George and the ever faithful Siouxsie Sioux - gathered to see Hogg's second collection since her LFW return in February, entitled Goddess of War. If you were hoping for tribal beads and Amazonian brights you would have been disappointed, as Hogg kicked off the show with monochrome and silver. Her goddess does battle in a futuristic discotheque, as you would expect. Later baby blue and pink entered the palette - lulling us into the impression that Hogg might have gone soft - until Alice Dellal strode down the runway in blood red Lycra, reminding us who we were dealing with. The catsuits were there, of course, but with draped jersey, stiff ribbon and frilled net additions bringing shape and showing us that, above all else, Hogg knows how to dress the female form. The finale was a white Hogg-appropriate "wedding dress"; with a train adorned with skulls and soaked with blood, bearing the words "War Bride". Hogg, it seems, is a rebel with a cause this season - executed with her signature good-humoured attitude. SEE THE PAM HOGG SHOW ARCHIVE Lauren Milligan Continue reading Back to top

This food option aims to help you develop your cooking skills and unlock your inner Masterchef! During the course you will get the chance to prepare exciting, tasty, healthy and attractive dishes. This option is for anyone who enjoys good home cooked food and who would like to be more confident with their cooking and develop their knowledge of food and health.
Based in the food technology department, the two hour sessions will enable us to be quite ambitious with the dishes we prepare. We can be flexible according to the preferences of the group and modify the recipes to accommodate personal taste.
There will be 10 practical cooking sessions and you need to be committed to providing some of the basic ingredients required. We will however keep costs to a minimum and will provide the more unusual ingredients for you.
You will be able to cook on your own or in small groups (2 – 3) and share the cost of the ingredients. The final "Masterchef" challenge will be to plan a meal and make it in your final practical session. This will be judged by our very own Greg and John.
The course should equip you with life skills and give you the confidence to cook for yourself and to entertain and cook for others.
Each term we will cook for, or with, members of our local community. You will also have the opportunity to join the Huntington School "Cook Club" as a volunteer leader.
Above all, we will have fun experimenting with modern ideas and sharing the 'fruits of our labour'.
Co-ordinator: Mrs B Lunn

Jeneva McCall
June 19, 2012
By Bill Ford
CARBONDALE, Ill.— Southern Illinois track and field's Jeneva McCall has been named a semifinalist for the Bowerman, an award given annually to the top male and female collegiate track and field athlete.
The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association announced a list of 10 semifinalists Tuesday for the women's Bowerman. The USTFCCCA will announce three finalists for the award June 29 and the winner will be announced December 19 at the USTFCCCA Convention.
McCall recently completed her collegiate track and field career as one of the most decorated athletes in SIU history. She was named the USTFCCCA's Midwest Region Field Athlete of the Year for both the indoor and outdoor seasons after earning a combined five NCAA All-America honors during her senior campaign.
During the indoor season, McCall won a national title in the weight throw and finished as the runner-up in the shot put at the 2012 NCAA Indoor Championships. She won Missouri Valley Conference titles in both events to earn MVC Most Outstanding Field Athlete honors.
Outdoors, McCall won the third NCAA title of her career in the hammer throw in addition to placing third in the shot put and 10th in the discus. She swept MVC titles in all three events at the MVC Outdoor Championships, earning MVC Most Valuable Athlete and Most Outstanding Field Athlete honors.
McCall finished her collegiate career having earned three NCAA titles, 14 NCAA All-America honors and 14 MVC individual titles. Thursday, she will compete in the hammer throw at the US Olympic Trials for a spot on Team USA at the 2012 London Olympics.

Live from….Norwegian Getaway: Hits & Misses

They keep fightin' 'til everyone's dead. I'm not sure where this metaphor's goin'. I just felt like it had to be said."

I was also on board on Wednesday, and agree with you regarding Legally Blonde – it is a musical you either like or hate – I didn't like it, however that is not a reflection on the guys playing the parts – i spoke to two of them in a lift and they said they have heard mixed reviews.
As a ship, The Getaway isn't my favourite (I have been very fortunate to have visited numerous ships as a Cruise Specialist) however I have been on a lot worse. My main observation, as someone who stayed in a Spa Suite, was why are the light switches located on the side of the bed nearest to the wall and not on the both sides of the bed? If the person nearest to the switch falls asleep, the person next to them needs to lean over to turn off the light! Major design fault. I could only find one set of plugs by the tv which meant if I needed to charge my 'phone overnight and put the alarm on for the morning, it wasn't next to me in the morning. Little, but important things. I was also surprised that in a suite there was no clock radio

Measure I Tax on Your Home – Outright Swindle
Registered Oakland voters just received a mail-in ballot for a new City parcel tax. The essential fact about Measure I is this: by paying $80 a year under Measure I, residents will get absolutely no additional services.
They would not get more police. Nor would the decline in police staffing go any more slowly. The same is true about park cleanup, libraries, street repairs and everything else that mayor Quan talks about. These services would not be saved, nor would they shrink more slowly.
Measure I is the latest example of Jean Quan's bait and switch swindles. The basic idea is simple. Pass another tax, promising that the money will pay for this or that service. Assign the new revenue to the service – but cut existing appropriations for the same service. Presto! Quan has freed up money for what she really wants.
Measure I is the latest example of Jean Quan's bait and switch swindles. The basic idea is simple. Pass another tax, promising that the money will pay for this or that service. Assign the new revenue to the service – but cut existing appropriations for the same service. Presto! Quan has freed up money for what she really wants.
It happened with Measure Y in 2004. Then-councilmember Quan insisted we would get at least 802 police total if we passed the taxes in Measure Y. Voters gave her the money, and police staffing immediately fell, continuing to decline for years. Today Oakland has about 650 officers.
On the property tax bills now arriving in mailboxes, there are two charges for "VIOL PREV TAX," which is Measure Y/BB. Last year Quan and colleagues laid off 80 police, and the City could not legally collect the Measure Y tax. City officials pushed through Measure BB, removing the police staffing requirement from Measure Y. Now the City thinks it has the right to back-bill homeowners for the period when neither Measure Y nor Measure BB was in effect. How can anyone believe that officials who shuffle the deck like this would provide any real services under Measure I?
The same swindle happened with Measure Q, another tax that Quan promised would maintain library hours and services. Instead, hours have been cut.
Voters might think that with new parcel tax money, at least services would shrink more slowly. Nope. The mayor and city council still toss millions of dollars out the window.
They give loans to the Ferrari-driving owner of the Merritt Bakery, loans that the city auditor flatly states will never be repaid.
Councilmember and now mayor Quan always assigns top priority to Chabot Observatory up in the hills. While police do not have reliable radios, Chabot adds buildings and equipment for tourists. How often does your child get a free visit to Chabot? It is mostly for tourists and for students from Berkeley and Contra Costa County.
Mayor Quan thinks the City should hand out millions of dollars to the owner of a major league baseball team so he can have a new stadium. The City has purchased land for surrounding infrastructure and assigned thousands of staff hours in an unlikely attempt to make it happen.
Basic services come last at City Hall. Measure I dollars will be sunk into more of these scattered, unwise, and corruption-laden projects. No, not directly; the trick is done by putting the new tax revenue into old uses, then diverting the freed-up money to Quan's pork.
The City budget has a structural shortfall. As soon as Quan became mayor at the beginning of 2011, her biggest task was to propose a solution that matched revenues and spending. She didn't even try. Instead, the City passed a so-called balanced budget by "selling" Kaiser Center to the City's own redevelopment agency at an inflated price. The mayor's accounting trick put off the budget problem for a year, while the agency lost millions of dollars, now holding a property that it cannot lease or sell for anything near the purchase price.
After pulling such flagrant budgetary flimflam, Quan has the nerve to ask voters for another parcel tax. Last Spring she boasted at a city council meeting that Measure I will be the fifteenth tax she has proposed and campaigned for since she entered elected "public service."
Your rejection of the Measure I swindle is a way to tell City Hall that we will not be fooled again.
No on H and J, too
Measure H takes away your right to elect the city attorney. She would become an appointee of the city council, serving at its whim. The previous city attorney frustrated stupid council ideas, like trying to make Oakland of all cities a leader in industrial marijuana despite federal law. He enraged mayor Quan because he helped police chief Batts write gang injunctions; Quan thinks she can turn thugs around with hugs and kisses. She wants a city attorney who will let the City stumble into one disaster after another.
Measure J is a murky proposal to kick the City's pension financing decades down the road. No matter how carefully you read the measure and the arguments for it, you get only a vague idea of what would happen. If the proponents of the measure can't make it clear, vote against it.
Although Quan poses as a liberal, she wants to enact a regressive parcel tax. A small stucco house in deep east Oakland would pay exactly the same as a multi-million dollar mansion in the hills. The $80 a year might not sound like much to some people, but it matters, especially in these tough times. Nor it is merely $80 every year by itself; the levy would be appended to the long list of Quan's taxes that every homeowner finds on her property tax bill.
Renters are not exempt. Measure I says, "Nothing in this ordinance is intended to preclude owners from recovering the tax from the occupant." Landlords can pass the tax on to tenants.

TC TO JAMES AITKEN ; 2 August 1840; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18400802-TC-JA-01; CL 12: 215-216
Chelsea, 2 Augt, 1840—
Dear James,
This morning I am just about setting out to execute a little excursion into the Country which I have been long talking of; preparatory to getting quit of my horse. I go first of all to the house of some old friends of mine, the Bullers, twenty miles off, in Surrey to the south. I hope to reach the sea-coast in that direction, to get a bathe, to have got a ride, to be back here in about a week; to send off my too-expensive horse, and then fall to my work again. The weather has grown as bright as a diamond of late days; the hottest we have had since April; people are cutting the yellow fields: I calculate, the sight of it all, for a series of days, will do me good.
I finished my Fourth Lecture half a week ago. I have two more to accomplish; which I calculate setting about directly on my return My present project to finish these, about the end of August; and then be ready for a new expedition northward! I wrote yesterday to my Mother to that effect.
My reason for writing to you today is connected with money. Yesterday, namely, I despatched, by the Bankers Jones & Lloyd here,1 a sum of one Hundred Pounds, directed to you at the Commercial Bank Dumfries. It will probably be there about Wednesday. Will you go, as on former occasions, and laying claim to it, get me a Deposit-Receipt (Bank Receipt) for it in my name, and keep the same lying safe in your Drawer for me till you hear farther. If Jean or you write a word that it is done, all will be right in regard to that.
If I have any leisure I may perhaps fling you a line in the course of my ride: at all events I will write soon after my return.
Alick sent me a Letter lately; good news from Ecclefechan. The Doctor is still at Oban, in the old posture: something will be decided on there in the course of this month.
Did Jean take the little child down to Mary's to sea-bathing? It would decidedly have a likelihood to do her good.
A noted man has been criticizing me in the last Edinburgh Review. His notions differ from mine as ice from fire; but I am flattered by the way he is forced to speak of me in.— Not a word more today.— Yours ever truly
T. Carlyle

With the holiday season a week away, many Floridians are still trying to get access to their unemployment benefits.
"Kids in daycare and school, you know, bills need to be paid. It's kind of hard right now," said Roosevelt Jackson.
The new system has been plagued with glitches since it went online in mid-October.
The problems have kept many out of work Floridians from receiving their benefits.
During the first full weekend in December, those Floridians may experience new delays as the Department of Economic Opportunity makes more changes.
"Those individuals that are still having any issues to call the help center and get assistance, and we just want to reassure those individuals that no one will be denied any benefits due to technical issue," said Jessica Sims.
DEO is moving its data storage to another facility in December, which cold cause new delays for benefit seekers.
State law requires the move, which was delayed because of the unemployment system launch. The move will not allow call center representatives to gain access to benefits occasionally during the move.
"The data will be physically moved all in one day and it will only be intermittent outages during that day," said Sims.
The delays are expected to be minor compared to bigger problems faced during the launch, but impatient, unemployed Floridians trying to get benefits say the system needs to be fixed.
"It seems like it'll work out. But, you know, it's just taking a little longer than I thought it would," said Jackson.
DEO says more than 500,000 claims have been filed with the new system.
The system has gone offline all together two times since its launch, once in October and the second time earlier this month.

The return of "The Walking Dead" season 4 is only a few days away and viewers have been busy coming up with theories, finding spoilers and debating on what will happen next. On Feb. 6, Zap2It published their interview with executive producer Gale Anne Hurd. Many topics about the show were discussed, including Carol and baby Judith.
As far as baby Judith is concerned, Hurd didn't reveal any information. Recent spoilers have indicated that Andrew Lincoln said that she is dead, but his exact words were,
"I think, as you've seen in the episode, she's gone. That's it. That's the feeling for Rick and Carl."
While it sounds like she is dead, the words "that's the feeling" seem to leave an opening. Could it be that Rick and Carl think that she is dead when she might not be? Another possibility is that viewers will never find out what happened to her. Fans will just have to wait until the second half of the season to find out the answer to that question.
Carol will be returning in season 4 and fans have been wondering why Rick sent her away. Hurd said that part of the reason was because of Tyreese's rage and he was worried what would happen to her once Tyreese found out. The other part of it was Rick making a decision on his own and asserting his leadership role.
When Carol returns, viewers will see a much more developed character, but will her time on the outside change her? Will she be the same Carol viewers remember or will she be someone different?
"The Walking Dead" season 4 will return on Feb. 9.

I've mentioned before that I'm a competitive little bugger right?
So I entered a contest being hosted by Hodgson Mill to "Build a Better Pizza". They were looking for a healthy pizza to showcase their whole wheat flour.
My first thought…"My husband and kids HATE, with a capital H, whole wheat pizza!
I figured, if I could win THEIR vote, then I had created a good pizza! So first I set out to design a crust…. The contest rules stated the crust had to be made with at least 50% whole wheat.
Most people who say they hate whole wheat crust, associate it with a dense and overly chewy crust. I was going to change that.
Over a couple of weeks, and lots of dishes, I created a balance between their whole wheat and organic unbleached flour. I was looking for a thin crust, to avoid anything too chewy. I wanted a cracker crisp edge that gave way to just a slightly thicker center to support the toppings.
At last…with a blend of 60/40 and a double rise, I was happy with the crust! Then I stewed over the toppings…. When someone asks me to "Build a Better (Healthy) Pizza", I don't take that to mean they JUST want a healthy crust. But man o man…If I hadn't already lost my family on the crust, did I really want to push it and add healthy toppings as well? Did I really want to take away their pepperoni and sausage?
I ditched the meat altogether and decided to showcase farm fresh produce and quality cheese. (I was a glutton for punishment)
Caprese salad came to mind…which I adore for its freshness and the impeccable quality of the tomatoes. What a perfect way to top this pizza.
Now sauce…I've made a roasted marinara for years and years now and I just KNEW it would work here! That was an easy one. I added some of my favorite wine, Cline Zinfandel, to the marinara because 1.) It lends an amazing flavor to the reduced marinara and 2.) I got to open a bottle and have a glass of wine while I cooked.
*FYI, it's October and Breast Cancer Awareness month… Cline makes a Cashmere wine that sports the pink ribbon on the bottle and was introduced in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. Cline has contributed more than $200,000 to breast cancer foundations and makes me proud to support their company.*
*Disclaimer…Cline Cellars has no clue I'm writing this and I am not being rewarded in any way from their company. I just love them….The End
Back to my pizza….I had spent a couple of weeks perfecting the crust, decided on the toppings, and had brought my marinara to the gates of heaven. Now to put them all together!
Let me show you how I rolled this out (pun intended)
8 oz. Hodgson Mill whole wheat flour (chilled)
6.7 oz. Hodgon Mill unbleached white flour (chilled)
10 oz. + 1 Tbl + 2 tsp. water (between 105-115 degrees)
1 pkg. Hodgon Mill active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
24 oz. container small tomatoes (I use the tri color)
large bulb of garlic, cloves removed and peeled
1/2 large white onion, rough chopped into medium size chunks
1 large bunch fresh thyme
1/3 cup good red wine (I used Cline Zinfandel)
1 tablespoon sugar
pinch of kosher salt
1/2 lb. fontina cheese, shredded
2 heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced (I used a dark purple and a yellow/red)
fresh mozzarella
fresh basil, torn
extra virgin olive oil, to drizzle on finished pizza
Start by weighing out your flour. Weighing gives you the most accurate measure and is how I measure for the majority of my baking. Combine the two flours and place in the refrigerator to get very cold. (at least an hour)
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Place the container of tomatoes, garlic cloves, and rough chopped onion into a 9×13 casserole dish. Drizzle with olive oil (about 2 tablespoons) and toss until everything is coated in the oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
When your oven is heated, place the tomato mixture inside and roast for 45 minutes. When it's done, the tomatoes will have just a little char around the edges and they will have released some of their juices. The color is what you want…It should look like this….
Dump the mixture, and all juices from the dish, into a large glass bowl. Use an immersion blender to slightly puree the mixture. It's perfectly fine to have a few chucks remaining. (If you don't have an immersion blender you can do this in the blender as well.)
Dump the sauce into a large saute pan and throw in the bunch of thyme.
Place over low heat and add the red wine, sugar and pinch of kosher. Stir to combine, then let it slowly bubble away until reduced. There should be very little to no liquid and it should be the consistency of tomato paste. (This will take 1-2 hours) Set aside.
For the dough: Weigh out the water (105-115 degrees) and add the yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar to the water. Let the yeast proof in the water for 5 minutes, or until nice and foamy.
While the yeast is proofing, mix together 1/2 tablespoon of kosher and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Grab your flour from the fridge and place nearby.
I used my food processor with its dough hook for this process and had great results.
Add your yeast mixture into the bowl of the food processor. Dump in half of the flour blend then begin mixing your dough with quick pulses. Add the remaining flour 1/4 cup at a time, with quick pulses in between additions, until the dough just begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. If you still have flour remaining, that's OK ..Don't keep adding or your dough will be too stiff and not rise correctly. Add the kosher and oil mixture and pulse a few more times.
(It's times like these I wish for an extra set of hands so that I had all the pictures that I wanted to take but didn't)
Flour a work surface and dump the dough out. With lightly floured hands, knead the dough only for about a minute. You do NOT want to overwork the dough. Add flour to your surface as needed.
Shape into a ball and place in a large glass bowl. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top and rotate the dough until the bowl and dough are covered in oil.
Place plastic wrap over the top and set in a warm area to rise for an hour.
After that first rise, punch the dough down and cut into 3 equal portions. With slightly wet hands, roll each portion into a ball and place on a lightly floured surface. Cover each dough ball with a towel and let rise for an additional hour.
While the dough is completing its 2nd rise…Move an oven rack into the UPPER MOST position. Place a pizza stone on that rack and preheat your oven as high as it will go. Mine is 500 degrees. You'll want to have that stone heating for at least 45 minutes! Both the placement of the rack and the preheating of the stove are SUPER important. The rack placement ensures even cooking of the crust and toppings. It's an air circulation formula that I won't bore you with, but with less room between the pizza and the top of the oven, the hot air travels quickly between pizza and oven and back down again, creating a fantastic crisp crust and toppings that have been kissed with just the right amount of browning. (I'm a food geek…did ya know?)
After the dough rising and stone heating have happened…Cover a pizza peel in cornmeal or semolina. This allows the pizza to slide right off the peel and onto the hot stone.
Grab one portion of dough and place on the peel. Lightly dust the top of the pizza with flour and roll thin using a rolling-pin. Start from the center and gently roll out to the edges…no back and forth rolling!
When the pizza is rolled out, give the peel a good shake back and forth to release the dough. Make sure the dough is sliding back and forth. If you need to, lift the edges of the dough and add a little more cornmeal or semolina to ensure easy sliding.
Brush a little olive oil around the edge of the crust, making sure not to dribble a bunch on the peel or it will make your pizza stick. I added a little sprinkle of granulated garlic on top of the oil…just for good measure! The oil will help make that crisp edge that gets that slight char that all GREAT pizzerias are known for.
Spread the crust with the marinara, to about 1/2 inch of the edge.
Sprinkle with fontina cheese, which is my melty cheese of choice for pizzas.
Arrange the heirloom tomato slices on top of the cheese.
Scatter some chunks of fresh mozzarella on top.
If you think it looks pretty now….just wait!
Since there is so little room between the pizza stone and the top of the oven, you'll have to be careful when transferring the pizza to the stone. The last thing you want is for the pizza to touch the top of the oven…it's a mess.
To avoid this, slide your pizza peel over top of the stone until it's about halfway into the oven. Gently shake the pizza off the peel and pull the peel back as you go. You'll notice the crust starts to bubble and steam immediately. Perfection!
Allow the pizza to cook for 5-8 minutes depending on your oven temperature. Using tongs, spin your pizza around about halfway through the cooking time.
You're looking for a golden crust with some of the fabulous lightly charred bubbles, and toppings that are slightly browned with nicely melted cheese. When you have that, pull the pizza back onto your peel using the tongs.
Let the pizza cool for a minute or two, the top with the torn basil and drizzle with a little olive oil.
Now folks…I ain't lyin'! This is the real deal holyfield right here!
My family gathered 'round….they were prepared to HATE it. I smirked at their preconceived notions and urged them to take a slice.
My 10 year-old said it was the best crust ever ( I didn't tell him it was whole wheat…he's by far my most picky child)
My 17 year-old asked for his own pizza….MADE JUST LIKE THE ONE HE JUST TASTED (I had to tease…what no pepperoni and sausage?)
My husband raved and said it was fantastic! He's not a picky person and loves unique toppings…He DID hate whole wheat crust…. D I D (past tense)
All in all, this was a success!
Regardless of the outcome of the contest, I'm super proud of this pizza and will be making it often!
I'll be posting information on how to vote for my Caprese Pizza in the next couple of days and would GREATLY appreciate your support
Don't forget…Hodgson Mill is letting me give away a prize package valued at $25 to one of my lucky followers…you can enter to win here:
