Alongside Georges Fouquet and the Vever brothers, Lalique is considered to be the main Art nouveau jeweller.
Separating himself very quickly from the neo-Renaissance style prevalent in the 1880s, Lalique created jewellery inspired by natural themes in which he gave free rein to his imagination and his feel for composition and colour. He chose the female body as his main motif and did not hesitate to use semi-precious stones and materials traditionally overlooked or spurned by jewellers such as horn or enamel.
From 1902 onwards, Lalique devoted himself mainly to the manufacture of art glassware. The pine cone bowl lies at the turning point of his oeuvre and draws on the combined skills of silversmiths and glassmakers. The artist has blown milky white glass into a silver mount whose bluish transparency is reminiscent of opal. The technique of blowing glass into a metal frame was used by Lalique in other bowls and Dionysian chalices decorated with vines or ears of wheat.

MOUNTAIN VIEW -- Google (GOOG) has delayed for up to a year construction of a massive campus at the NASA-Ames research center in Mountain View, apparently because the tech titan seeks to improve the design of the complex.
Google's Bay View complex, a short distance from the company's headquarters in Mountain View, would consist of 1 million square feet of new offices.
But work on the new campus will be delayed by six to 12 months, according to sources familiar with the company's plans. Google would not confirm the length of the delay but acknowledged that construction has been put on hold for the time being. Google had previously said it planned to occupy the campus by 2015.
"We want to make our Bay View campus a terrific and environmentally sustainable place for Googlers to work," said Katelin Jabbari, a spokeswoman for the technology firm. "To make sure we get it right, we're being thoughtful in our design process."
An estimated 3,500 to 5,000 people are expected to work at the campus on the leased NASA grounds, where Google intends to build the offices.
Mountain View City Manager Dan Rich said Google informed the city about the delay early this month.
"Google wants to refine the architectural design," Rich said. "They want to get it right. I was a little surprised when they told me, but they decided to take a step back."
The Bay View campus is a short distance from -- although not adjacent to -- the main headquarters complex of Google.
One area of controversy involving the massive new project is the placement and configuration of a bridge over Stevens Creek that would connect the headquarters and the new campus at NASA. But the bridge has nothing to do with the delay, according to city officials.
"The delay has to do with the actual design of the project, the look and the exterior of the buildings," Rich said.
However long the delay, it does not seem to mark any sort of retrenchment for Google, or signal that Google intends to scrap the project altogether. The company is on the hunt for even more office space beyond what it has leased or bought recently in Mountain View and Sunnyvale.
Palo Alto's East Meadow Circle area, where several large office buildings are located, is one site where Google has been looking. And the company's Google Glass unit has considered numerous properties in the vicinity, including the San Antonio Station complex near Central Expressway and San Antonio Road.
"Google is still in major growth mode," said Jim Beeger, a senior vice president with Colliers International, a commercial realty firm.
Staff reporter Brandon Bailey contributed to this report. Contact George Avalos at 408-373-3556 or 925-977-8477. Follow him at Twitter.com/george_avalos.

To the editor: The 18 percent raise for the school superintendent bothers me for a few reasons. He was not given a raise at the time of his promotion, but now is not the time to correct that. To respond to the board member who feels the superintendent needs it now, I would say what has been said to so many teachers by this system over the years: If you dont want the job, there are plenty of applicants who do.
I feel this raise shows as little respect for our teachers as our legislative team did in Raleigh this past session. Some members of the board have served too long and have become too close to the administration. They have lost their ability to function as oversight and have rubber stamped many issues such as this one. It is time for new members on the board who will at least ask questions. A reasonable-thinking board would have never offered this raise in the first place.
I would suggest a raise for the superintendent should be no more than teachers have received in the past five years.

Ignoring the law
To the editor: Recent letters to the editor have decried U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows for his unwillingness to support Obamacare. They say, after all, that it is the law of the land. And yet, the Obama administration is easily the most lawless anyone has seen in his or her lifetime. Please note that Article 2, Section 3, of the Constitution charges that the president shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed. It uses the imperative shall not should.
But for Obama, the Constitution and enumerated powers are largely ignored. Several cases in point include the following. On Aug. 14, the Obama administration delayed the provision in Obamacare to cap out-of-pocket health care costs, picking and choosing parts of the law to enforce, which exceeds its authority. In July, the Obama administration unilaterally decided to delay the employer mandate provision of Obamacare for one year. It is now relying on the honor system from applicants to determine if they are qualified for subsidies. Without fear of exaggeration, at least a dozen more examples of Obamas patent disregard of the law could be cited.
Our lawless leader can only continue in this unchecked manner as long as there are more citizens interested in entitlement than enlightenment.

Chemical weapons
To the editor: Even Ive heard of two nerve gases, tabun and sarin. By now there may be more. Molecular embroidery chemists have probably found additional acetycholine-inhibiting or synapse-clogging substances to cause complete nervous system disruption, ending normal muscle function and control of breathing, excretion, heart action, movement, etc. No use drawing red lines or passing laws. They work, so they will be used.
Just the threat of using them guarantees horror, revulsion, flight, surrender, etc., so what dictator could resist? Yes, deployment control is very difficult because they are blowing in the wind, as the hippies used to sing.
So, no wonder politicians trot out their most shiny silver tongues pretending to deal with nerve agents. The USA has destroyed much of our stockpile (very, very carefully), I believe by incineration. Should President Barack Obama locate and blow up Bashar Assads stockpiles, where will the wind blow? World War III, anyone?

Rui Zhang (Class Team): ActiveX-Xi'an Ping-Pong tournament!
ActiveX-Xi'an Ping-Pong tournament is held in Xi'an now. There are 29 Activers from different teams to attend the tournament; these players are divided into 2 groups by drawing lots. The whole tournament includes group game and Elimination game, and there are 196 matches to take place only in group stage. 8 players in each group can enter into Elimination game! This is really funny and interesting with a long schedule around 2 months. Every afternoon, many colleagues will come to watch the matches and add oil for players.
Danae Brooker, Director of Business Solutions:
I wanted to provide you an update of my 10-year old son and my Spring Break. We rode from Yuma (the Colorado River) to Carlsbad (the Pacific Ocean). We completed 224 miles over 6 days! Awesome trip!!! Here are some pictures:
Marshall & Danae dip their tires in the Colorado River at the start of the trip!
Marshall riding down a dirt road to get to our first campsite.
Mornings were cold as we geared up to ride between 35 and 55 miles per day!
A quick rest stop before continuing the ride through the Anza Borrego Desert.
The weather changed drastically as we headed into Julian – riding up Banner Grade, I was actually knocked off my bike by a huge gust of wind!
On Saturday, we make it to the Pacific Ocean to dip our tires!
Here is the entire group of riders – 50 of which are 5th graders! Amazing!
Robert T. Klingensmith, Vice President, Media + Marketing: Team Active lines up for the third annual Gran Fondo Colnago San Diego. Thanks to everyone at Active for their support... it was the best event yet!!
MIKE REILLY rode the Gran Fondo 60 mile event and it was an Active history day. Mike rode with Active USA founder JIM WOODMAN all 69 miles talking about the beginning years of Active up to the present. The 60 miles went by in a flash. Our own ROB KLINGINGSMITH produced the event and LARKIN GEYER & LINDSAY NESSELROAD lead the way at the start.
Jeannie M. Freis, Associate Product Manager: The Boulder office sent 4 teams to Sunday's Buckhorn Exchange (half marathon) Relay. I ran most of leg 1 (5 miles) with fellow ActiveXers Brett Burch and Chuck Langdon, and was thankful for their many encouraging words along the way. Just prior to the race start, Brett stated his intention was to see if he could get one of us to throw up. "After all, this is a race and we should push ourselves!" added Chuck. Attached is the photo of my relay team members post race - my boyfriend, Kelly Feagans, me, and friend Katy Rhoades. We came in 8th in the co-ed relay division.
Michael O'Brien, Desktop Management: I ran a 5K for St. Jude this past Saturday in Nashville. I raised over $200 in donations and set a personal record of 29:21. I attached a pic of me in my St. Jude racing jersey before heading out the door to run.
Scott Yeske, Industry Manager: My "Thirsty Niners" Ice Hockey Team Won the Winter Season Championship this past weekend. We played a best of 3 series and Won 2 games to 1. This marks our Second Championship in Three Seasons!
Damon Mathews, Sr. Web Designer: Damon took 2nd place in his pool at the 2011 Las Vegas Footbag Jam. Competitors traveled from as far away as Austrailia to attend the event. This was the second time Damon has competed at this event. Below is a link to some random Footbag Circles at the event. Damon is seen in the opening shot and again at 6:06.
The overall winner this year (and last year) was tournament host and director Evan Gatesman from Las Vegas. The official final Circle Contest can be seen in the video below:
Dak Jordan (ActiveEducate) and Mike Fries, ran in the Shamrock Shuffle 8k in Chicago. After a long, cold, snowy winter, the sun came out and the temperature was in the low 70's, perfect for a run.
Eric Olson, GM of SMB Events, watched his fiancée Mary Beth Ellis out sprint fellow American Kelly Williamson down the finishing shoot for the 70.3 US Championship and 4th overall at Texas 70.3. She fought through jet lag and a cold for a strong follow up to her win at Singapore 70.3 two weeks ago. The race was more stressful for the spectator than the racer. Notice the Active.com logo on the finishing shoot. Sweet.
Karen Hardy, Christina Hanson & Sarah Moosbrugger completed the Medio Fondo 60 Miler with a bunch of fellow ActiveX'ers. We had a blast & think it would have been even more fun if we trained for it!
Alicia Towery, (Technical Account Manager) ran the San Marcos Roundup - 11K Double Peak Challenge and was the 2nd female overall. The course was straight up a trail for the first three miles with a total elevation gain of 1600 ft. It was a fun and challenging course.
MATTHEW HENRY (Bothell, WA) did not pass go and most certainly didn't collect $200 when The Game of Life played Monopoly on Friday night. We had a much better showing, though, losing 15-7. Some great bids (So close to making a catch behind my back!) But we're getting better! In bigger news, the Sentinels are in the championship game tonight (that's 9 pm at Kingsgate in Kirkland, if you're in the area)! After a horrible regular season, we won our game last Sunday night 3-2 and are now undefeated through the playoffs. Hopefully the season ends tonight, but if we lost tonight, we get one more chance to seal the deal.
Tyler Jump, Account Manager - Camps, and Janean Nation, Sales Manager - Sports, enjoyed a late winter storm and spent the weekend snowboarding in Utah. The powder was fresh and the riding was EPIC!
Liz Harrell (Director - Project Management, San Diego) and her boyfriend Hal Helbock rode the 105 mi route of the Gran Fondo on Sunday. We started the ride together, but that was about it. Lots of hills and headwind made for a great training day for me. (10 weeks and 6 days until Ironman!) Hal was the 3rd cyclist to cross the finish line... even though this was a "ride" and not a "race". Not too shabby for a Mountain Biker. :-)
Chris Gielow, ActiveWorks Interaction Designer, poses at the Olympic Training center SAG station, the halfway point at the Gran Fondo San Diego.
Vanessa Allen, Senior Marketing Manager, Sports, spent a week in Petite Riviere de Nippes, in southwest Haiti, working with school kids on art instruction at a school supported by the American Haitian Foundation. We took opportunities to do some sight-seeing, too, and on our last day in Haiti visited Saut du Baril spring/cascades up in the mountains. We hiked up the trail/road +/- 5 miles to visit the falls that are fed by a natural spring out of volcanic rock. Beautiful, cool clean water – a great way to cool off after a long, hot hike! My friends along for the trek are Mary and Debbie (ActiveX-ers by affiliation). Photo also included of one of our "art school" sessions with the students.
Lindsay Nesselroad (International Specialist) and Larkin Geyer (previous long time Active employee and current Active family member) finishing the Gran Fondo! What a great day and an even more amazing ride!
Steve Mazza had a great ride at the Gran Fondo Colnago, a great day, sunny and lots of smiling Active faces! Kudos to Rob and his team for such a well organized event. Photo snapped as I finished.
DEMIAN DORRANCE, Sr. Systems Engineer, San Diego -
My 16-year-old son and I volunteered then rode in our third Colnago Gran Fondo San Diego, taking on the challenge of the 105 mile century route with many miles of back country climbing. Hills are my biggest challenge on a bike, and the six mile continuous climb of the "king of the mountain" stage took everything I had. This was the only timed stage, and my 1hour 38minute grind placed me 908 out of 910 riders that attempted the climb-- brutal, but not dead last!
We rode the countryside together, but near mile 83 I turned my son loose to push himself for a better time - he still had fresh legs and mine were pretty well done. We both finished the full century route, a little late, but at least we made it back during daytime this year unlike the year before. Big improvements for both of us in completing our second century ride ever. We handled two flats and had fewer technical difficulties than the 2010 Gran Fondo. Loved the course changes from last year, which worked out well and tested us with a serious endurance event including 5,500 feet of climbing and headwinds for the last 25 miles. The event featured beautiful weather, a remote course green from the recent rains, and first class SAG support. A big thanks to the team at Active in supporting another great Gran Fondo, and also to the friends and family that came out to cheer us and other riders on the course.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's tennis team was dealt several rain delays on Friday, but the team shrugged it off to take a 6-0 and 5-0 pair of victories over St. Mary's at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center.
The Islanders are now 4-1 on the season with the wins, while St. Mary's dropped their first two matches of the year.
"There was good focus from our girls today," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. "I thought we worked very hard on some specific things we need to get better at.
"We did a good job of controlling what we can control and not worrying about the rain or the delays in the match. We were ready to play when the time came."
In the first match of the doubleheader, the Islanders picked up a 6-0 victory behind a sweep of the doubles matches and winning all five of the singles to finish.
Stefania Nicolae and Mia Matuszak started things off with an 8-0 win at the No. 2 position, while Mirna Cicak and Doris Kuselj clinched the point with an 8-2 victory at No. 1 doubles. Sandra Burges and Chelsea Horan completed the sweep with an 8-1 triumph.
In singles action, the first to pick up a win was LeAnne Mascall with a 6-1, 6-1 score at the No. 6 position. Burges followed quickly behind with a 6-0, 6-1 win at No. 3, as well as Cicak taking a 6-4, 6-1 final to clinch the dual match for the Islanders.
Matuszak finished out her match with a 6-1, 6-2 score at No. 5, while Nicolae was the final match to end, with the No. 2 player taking a 6-1, 6-3 final.
"I thought Mirna was a great leader as always," said Moore. "I thought that Chelsea Horan played a difficult opponent and learned a lot today about how to play different styles.
"Mia Matuszak got off to a great start with a lot of tenacity, Sandra and Stefania were rock solid as always, and LeAnne Mascall played a very good match today."
In the second match, the teams started with singles and only played until the match was clinched.
Horan started the scoring off for Texas A&M – Corpus Christi, taking a 7-6 (11-9), 6-2 final at the No. 4 position. Matuszak picked up another big win at No. 3 singles, taking a 6-0, 6-1 final for her second win of the day.
Burges' 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 5 singles made it a 3-0 score, while Cicak's 6-2, 6-4 final at No. 1 clinched the match for the Islanders. Nicolae also took a 6-0, 6-4 win at the No. 2 position for the final point of the match, making it 5-0 in favor of the Islanders.
"I think this team has very high hopes this year," said Moore. "The key for us is to stay in the present, work extremely hard and get a little better every day.
"I felt like we did that today, and that has to be our goal in every match we play. This team has very strong character and leadership, we can reach our goals if we stick together and keep working hard like we did today."
Next up for the Islanders will be a road match on Feb. 15, in Lafayette, La. at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette.

SAN FRANCISCO -- NASCAR's new qualifying procedure makes its road course debut Saturday at Sonoma Raceway, giving drivers more than one chance to turn a fast lap. But with several drivers on the course at the same time, it could also cause some tempers to flare.
Under Sprint Cup's new procedures for short tracks and road courses, qualifying for Sunday's Toyota/Save Mart 350 consists of two elimination rounds. The first elimination round will be 30 minutes and include all cars. The 12 cars that post the fastest single lap will advance to the final round.
The final qualifying round will be 10 minutes and the fastest single lap time will determine positions 1-12. Formerly, each driver competed in one round and drove one lap. The driver with the fastest lap got the pole position.
The problem with the new procedure may come when some drivers who are just warming up are on the track at the same time as other drivers trying to put together as fast a lap as possible. Considering the Sonoma track is relatively narrow compared with some other road courses, there figures to be some traffic.
"Especially on a road course, because it's so far to coast back around to keep your engine temperature down, you're definitely going to have guys passing you. You just have to make sure you time it right," driver Brian Vickers said Thursday at a media luncheon. "You time it wrong, someone's going to be pissed. That's just part of it."
Because of the technical nature of the course, where one mistake in qualifying can prove costly, Vickers and other drivers are glad to have more than one opportunity to put together a fast lap time. But because teams will likely need to change tires more than once, and let their engines cool between qualifying attempts, the amount of laps a driver can turn will still be limited.
"I don't think anyone knows exactly how it's going to play out," driver Brad Keselowski said. "I expect it to be a lot of fun this weekend, and certainly an improvement where we were in years past."
Perhaps qualifying isn't quite as vital to success as it has been in past years, as only three of the last eight race winners have started inside the top 10.
According to Vickers, though, there aren't many things in terms of the car's setup that the team can carry over to this year. He points to the new ride-height rule, which sets how high a car can be off the ground and does away with the pre- and post-race front height rules and inspections.
"Are there things that we learned from that? Yes. Maybe concepts we learned from last year," said Vickers, who is 18th in the Cup standings. "But because of the new ride-height rules, everything has changed."

No surprise. About your journal entry for today, I think this is applicable: http://pragprog.com/pragdave/Practices/Kata/KataThirteen.rdoc,v
I'm currently practicing the Katas to learn Ruby.
I have issues with "Bells and Whistles though" - I think too many programmers are enamored with flashy technology and equate it with proper work.

I suppose it's for the best. If I were there, it would have been somewhat awkward. They planned to review, after all. It would probably be hard for them to leave me eating alone, and it would be hard for me to eat alone, but...
Sometimes I don't like being on the JITSE board. What did I do? I just submitted a short list of questions, and that was it. Nothing else from them, nothing else from me. I don't even feel very much like a board member. I've lost an opportunity to study with friends and test myself in friendly competition. (Darn it! Next time, I'll probably turn them down. ;) )
I know that this is wise. I might want to be more a part of his life, but I know that the way things are now is for the best. I did have fun last night. I learned a little bit about playing the guitar. But still... I read about his life and I miss him. I know why he didn't get in touch with me, and I'm happy that he's getting to meet other people. He started mixing with his old batchmates - he's certainly not the introvert he thought he used to be. So - voice of reason - this is good.
Yes, this is good. Part of me might not like it, but it's good, and I won't get in his way. I shouldn't dwell on it or feel bad. I should continue living, learning, and having fun. That way, when we reconnect - if we will, if it'll still be all right - I'll have stories to share and lessons to pass on. I need to remember that.
(Errata: Apparently, they were there on Saturday. I suppose that's somewhat better, but still... <mildly put out> ;) )

He said that he had taken a part-time job. He also said that 3 pressed 1 for details, but he didn't want to say where he worked. (This may have been a good move, as after all, 2 seem to be under the impression that 1 name-drops a little too much.)
The reason 1 gave for not wanting to say where 1 worked, however, was the "crab mentality" of other people, and that he didn't want to say until "the air was clear" (memory fuzzy). I noted that that statement could be taken to imply that 3 had "crab mentality", and
1. confirmed that that was what he meant.
I was concerned about that. I did not agree that these miscommunications are the product of "crab mentality". I said that the way we act toward others shapes the way they act toward us, and personally, I find the department very supportive. I find it hard to believe that 3 has crab mentality, as 3 has accomplished much on his own, actively helps other people learn, and has no need to put other people down in order to raise himself.
(Note to self: must ask 4 for the transcript)
I suspect that he1 needs to think about what he implies.
More thoughts about it sometime. I should probably send him a summary of points to confirm/deny/elaborate.

Winners & Losers From the Week That Was
Winners & Losers for the week that was in business and deals, MoneyBeat's weekly look back and grading system of some of the biggest stories. Follow us on Twitter @WSJMoneyBeat.
Winner — Sprint investors: Dish Network has lobbed a competing bid for Sprint Nextel, offering a 13% premium to the deal the company has agreed to with Japan's Softbank. That sent Sprint shares up 15% this week as investors readied for a potential bidding war between two maverick billionaires.
Winner — Fairway: The grocery store operator scored a successful IPO, jumping 33% in its debut, the fourth-best debut of the year. And since then it has added even more, rising as high as $19.45, a nearly 50% increase.
Winner — Thermo Fisher: It beat out private-equity bidders for laboratory-supply company Life Technologies, paying $13.6 billion. It's one of the biggest strategic purchases of the year and the price exceeded what many analysts and investors were expecting, which reflected the appeal of Life Technologies' steady lab-equipment business and promising genetic-sequencing efforts.
Loser — Gold: A historic drop slammed gold bugs this week with the SPDR Gold Trust slumping 6% for the week. The metal itself posted its biggest one-day percentage drop in 30 years Monday as new signs of a global economic slowdown emerged and fears diminished that central banks' easy-money policies would stoke inflation. The gold rout stemmed partly from worries Cyprus and perhaps other nations may become sellers of the precious metal and a Goldman Sachs recommendation last week to short gold added to the fears.
Loser — Apple: It was another ugly week for the shares of what had been the world's biggest company and the darling of investors. Shares slumped 9% this week to below $400 for the first time since December 2011. It also relinquished its holding of world's most valuable company. Investors continue to wonder if the magic will come back.
Loser — Delleholders: While Sprint found itself in a bidding contest, another near bidding war collapsed. Blackstone pulled out of the process for Dell Inc., citing concerns about personal-computer sales and Dell's falling results. Meanwhile, WSJ reported Carl Icahn may not bid either. That leaves shareholders opposed to the Michael Dell and Silver Lake buyout with the choice to vote down the deal and risk not getting another deal. Shares fell 4% Friday to $13.40, the lowest since before the deal was inked.

The Husband's Message
by Anonymous
The Husband's Message Introduction
In A Nutshell
"The Husband's Message" is a 54-line poem contained in a mid 10th-century manuscript called the Exeter Book, a collection of anonymous poems written in Old English (a.k.a. Anglo-Saxon). Before the French-speaking Normans invaded England in 1066, the people living there spoke an entirely Germanic language. Although we call it "Old English," it really looks nothing like the English we speak today (unless you understand stuff like this: "Nū iċ onsundran þē." Yeah, we didn't think so).
Why do we even call it any kind of English, then? Well, mainly because after the Norman Conquest the Germanic language spoken in England mixed with French to become the delightful Latin-influenced mishmash we call English. That's why most people need a translation to understand Old English, which is what we'll be using here.
And the language isn't the only weird thing about this poem. The first part of "The Husband's Message" is spoken by a piece of wood. Yep, you heard that right – a piece of wood. It carries a message from a lord to his lady, asking her to join him in a faraway land to which he's been forced to flee because of feud violence. This messenger/piece of wood pulls out all the stops to convince the lady to come, assuring her of her lord's continued love and devotion, alluding to his great prosperity, flattering her, and reminding her of the vows the couple made in better times.
In the manuscript in which it was found, "The Husband's Message" comes immediately after 60 Anglo-Saxon riddles. Like this poem, the riddles are spoken by non-human objects or animals. They ask the reader to "say what I am." That's the question we're initially wondering about as "The Husband's Message" begins. Who is this speaker, who claims he grew up from a "kind of wood"? But as the poem progresses, it becomes as much about the message this piece of wood carries as about the speaker. This focus sets it apart from the riddles that come before it, making it a love-lyric or lament as much as a riddle.
At the end of the poem, after his message has been delivered, the speaker voices several runes – mysterious pictograms that may once have been part of a rudimentary Anglo-Saxon written language, and may even have had magical associations for their users. Although their specific meaning has been lost to us, the speaker says these runes guarantee the lord's vows to his lady.
With these runes, the poem uses writing to convey a vow that would normally be spoken aloud, in effect speaking for the lord. This situation returns us to the one at the beginning of the poem. There, too, an inanimate object "spoke." In fact, the runes of "The Husband's Message" train our focus on the act and meaning of writing itself. Although we take writing for granted as an ordinary, everyday thing, "The Husband's Message" reminds us that writing, which enables those who are separated by an ocean to speak to one another, is actually kind of mysterious and magical.
Why Should I Care?
All right, here's the situation: your sweetie has just broken up with you, even though the two of you pledged undying love for one another just a few weeks ago. You're consumed with sadness at your separation. Woe is you. All you want is to be together again. How can you convince him or her to come back to you?
If you're the guy in "The Husband's Message," you start out by telling her how you're feeling, that you're still hopelessly, helplessly in love. But that may not be enough. After all, your ex is pretty hot and has a lot of options as far as people to date. And they live right next door, whereas you live all the way across town. What do you have to offer that the others don't? Good looks? A great sense of humor? Or perhaps you hang with a great crowd and can tempt her with all the fun you'll have once you're back together again.
Our speaker in "The Husband's Message" entices his ladylove with the promise of lots of bling and fun parties at which she'll be the belle of the ball. But his trump card is definitely the fact that he and his lady have a history together. They spoke vows. Were those just empty words? Did they mean nothing to her? Mix this guilt-trip in with a little bit of flattery and you've got a recipe for a pretty darn convincing let's-get-back-together text message.

Peter King: Prosecute Journalists Who Leak
Posted June 12th, 2013 @ 1:17pm by Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff
(NEWSER) – Peter King is not messing around when it comes to journalists who help leak classified information. The congressman told Anderson Cooper on CNN last night that, "if they willingly knew that this was classified information," they should be prosecuted and punished. "I think, something of this magnitude, there is an obligation—both moral but also legal, I believe—against a reporter disclosing something which would so severely compromise national security." He added that "in the past several years a number of reporters ... have been prosecuted" under the Espionage Act.

On his CNN show last week, Anderson Cooper fell into a minute-long fit of giggles on live TV over a lame potty joke. The video of Cooper losing it on air quickly went viral and turned into fodder for Stephen Colbert on the following night's episode of The Colbert Report.
But Colbert is no stranger to on-air laughing fits. Click through for a compilation of some of Colbert's giggliest moments, along with 15 other favorite laughing fits on live TV. Next »
Colbert may have mocked Anderson Cooper for his laughing attack last week, but he's been there himself, as you can see in this collection of clips.
In this clip, Matt Lauer has trouble keeping his composure while discussing package sizes on Today.
On the Australian version of Today, anchor Karl Stefanovic's "long stabby thing" proves too much to handle.
It's not just sex that makes news anchors crack up. Fart stories work, as well.

Here, New Zealander and former Breakfast host Paul Henry breaks down about... well, we're not really sure.
Not sure what brought this one on, either, though it doesn't take away from the entertainment value.

RANDOLPH – Gifford Medical Center's nursing home, the Menig Extended Care Facility in Randolph, has been named among the nation's 39 best nursing homes.
U.S. News and World Report on Tuesday released a list of its "2012 Honor Roll" nursing homes. The 39 listed were the only ones out of more than 15,500 reviewed nationally to receive four straight quarters of perfect five-star ratings from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in all three areas that CMS evaluates – health inspections, nurse staffing and quality of care.
Menig, repeatedly recognized in Vermont with quality awards and included among the U.S. News and World Reports "2011 Best Nursing Homes" listing, is the only Vermont nursing home on the 2012 top 39 "Honor Roll" listing.
"This is an amazing recognition of the work our nursing and support staff do to provide the highest standard of care for our residents, a remarkably clean and well-maintained facility and a loving home," Menig Director of Nursing Cindy Richardson said. "We had no idea this recognition was coming, or that it even existed, and are so thrilled that work like ours – to provide the best care possible to our most vulnerable seniors – is receiving notice nationally."
Menig was constructed in 1998 to help meet the community's need for nursing home care following the closure of the larger, 53-bed Tranquility Nursing Home in Randolph. Part of non-profit Gifford, the nursing home initially had 20 beds but grew to 30 beds with an addition that opened in 2006.
The only nursing home in Orange County, Menig consistently has a waiting list of 120 people hoping for local nursing home care. Gifford is currently seeking permits to build a senior living community on 25.6 acres of land it owns in Randolph Center. The project would provide area adults and seniors more housing and care options, including independent and assisted living, and build on the success of Menig.
Menig has previously been awarded seven consecutive Nursing Home Quality recognitions from the Vermont Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living (DAIL) and Gold Star Employer awards from DAIL and the Vermont Health Care Association.
The nursing home has also repeatedly been recognized with Excellence in Action awards from My Inner View, a national organization that surveys families of residents regarding their satisfaction.
"All of these awards, and certainly this new 2012 Honor Roll recognition, validate the work that we do and demonstrate to the community what an outstanding facility and caregivers we have at Menig," Linda Minsinger, nursing home administrator and Gifford vice president of patient care services, says. "As we look at our amazing community and both the public and private services available here, this is another reason to hold our heads up high. This community is doing its best to provide for its seniors, and that is truly special."

It's easy to say that "Resolution 15" is a thrash band, but it's harder to pinpoint the "how" of it all. While the band's roots are firmly planted in the rich earth of thrash as we know it, the inclusion of electric violins in place of the traditional guitar immediately make their music an eyebrow-arching concern.
Yet, the mere inclusion of what could be seen as gimmickry does not an album make, so for "Svaha" to impress, it must bring more to the table than a banner headline about instrumentation.

CORPUS CHRISTI – Redshirt sophomore Jake Kocher of the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball team has been selected as a nominee for the 2014 Allstate National Association of Basketball Coaches Good Works Team.
The award recognizes a select group of college basketball student-athletes who have made significant contributions to the greater good of their communities through volunteerism and civic service. A total of 118 players were nominated for the award, including 75 student-athletes from NCAA Division I.
"This is a great honor for Jake and we're very proud of him," head coach Willis Wilson said. "We always preach the importance of giving back to the community, and all our players have really embraced it. Jake has gone the extra mile in trying to help where he can – both in Corpus Christi and his hometown of Austin."
In February, a special voting panel will select the 10-member team, which will be comprised of five student-athletes from the NCAA® Division I level and five student-athletes from NCAA® Divisions II, III and the NAIA. Former Duke University student-athlete, two-time NCAA champion and seven-time NBA All-Star Grant Hill will headline the Allstate NABC Good Works Team® voting panel.
Members of the Allstate NABC Good Works Team® will be invited by Allstate, an official corporate partner of the NCAA®, to the 2014 NABC Convention and 2014 NCAA® Men's Final Four® in Dallas, where they will participate in a community project in the city. Allstate is an official corporate partner of the NABC and NCAA.
Kocher is in his third year with the Islanders program, but just his second year on the court, as he missed all of the 2012-13 season with a hip injury. So far in 2013-14, the Austin native is averaging 4.9 points per game and is second on the team with 14 steals on the season. He is shooting .447 from the field.
Since 2008, Allstate has partnered with the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) as sponsor of the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team®, which shines a spotlight on the positive, off-the-field impact college football student-athletes have on their communities. Through an arrangement with the AFCA and NABC, Allstate is able to expand the Good Works Team® to also recognize college basketball student-athletes at all levels who donate their time and effort to make a difference off the court.
More information about the Allstate NABC Good Works Team® and the Allstate WBCA Good Works Team® is available at www.nabc.org and www.wbca.org.
