Back and forth they go along the sidelines. Attacking. Defending. Delivering pinpoint crosses. And the best will score a few goals, too.
Wingers can generate much excitement among soccer fans worldwide. Moreover, the best are of great value to their teams.
Consider the case of 13-year-old Faisal Hakimi, an eighth grader at Pine Hollow Middle School in Concord and budding soccer winger. In a recent scrimmage, played with small goals, he juked one defender, only to find two others standing in front of the goal.
"I saw a space between their legs," Hakimi said, "so I shot and the ball went in the goal."
Coaches and fellow players at the Lamorinda Soccer Club, where he plays for the under-14 team, know of Hakimi's prowess. So do those with Concord's Aria Soccer Club, where Hakimi also plays, and the national under-15 team of Afghanistan. Both of Hakimi's parents are from Afghanistan, though Hakimi himself was born in the United States.
Now, Spain's famed FC Barcelona knows about Hakimi, too.
Officials at FC Barcelona already had heard some word of Hakimi when it invited him to train with the club from Nov. 22-30 and try out for its youth academy. Those running the club were further impressed with him as the aforementioned scrimmage with the nifty moves and the thread-the-needle shot that took place at the club's La Masia youth academy against fellow young invitees.
"They were laughing, and they said, 'Really nice goal! Olé!,'" Hakimi said of the reaction his play received.
Hakimi's father Farid, mother Fariba and sister Mariam, a junior at Clayton Valley High School also received invitations to join him on the trip to Barcelona.
"It was a great feeling," Hakimi said
Farid Hakimi echoed his son's emotions.
"Every kid would like to have this; it's once in a lifetime," Farid Hakimi said.
In addition to playing soccer with fellow invitees, Hakimi and his family also met the team's current stars, including Lionel Messi, considered by many to be the world's top player.
"I talked to Messi during the training," Hakimi said. "He's shy, though."
Hakimi collected a game jersey signed by Messi along with a signed ball and hat. Farid Hakimi also received a Barcelona jersey signed by both Messi and Andres Iniesta, the Barcelona midfielder who scored Spain's winning goal in the 2010 World Cup final.
Faisal Hakimi won't hear back from Barcelona for a while, as training and tryout sessions continue into spring 2013. In the meantime, Hakimi will keep honing his game.
"He's a very technical player; he's good on the ball and has a nice first touch," said Javier Ayala-Hil, Hakimi's Lamorinda coach. "He's a two-footed player, too, meaning he's good with both feet, as good with his right as he is with his left."
Ayala-Hil and other coaches have employed Hakimi on either the left or right sides of the forward line in a 4-3-3 formation. Mostly, though, he's on the left.
"He's a good finisher, but his main role is to play crosses to the designated striker," Ayala-Hil said.
Hakimi makes an impact beyond his skills, too.
"One thing I like about Faisal is his dedication to soccer and passion for the game," said Lamorinda technical director Mohamed Mohamed. "He comes early and leaves late. He's got a good attitude, very coachable."
Whatever happens, Faisal Hakimi looks to have a bright soccer future, whether with Barcelona or another club. At present, he continues to dazzle on the wing.
Someday, Hakimi might be the one signing a jersey for another young soccer hopeful.

FoodFacts.com thought our community would find this story of particular interest. Back in 1978, the United States government mandated the addition of vitamin C to hot dogs. This would reduce the amount of nitrites and would, by the popular opinion of the time, reduce the rate of colon cancer in the country.
The FDA required hot dog manufacturers to include either ascorbate or erythorbate in their products. Both of these would offset the amount of nitrites present in the meat. Nitrites are what is added to processed meats like frankfurters. They enhance flavor and color in addition to extending shelf life. Unfortunately, as the meat is cooked the nitrites mix with amines in the meat to form cancer-causing nitrosamines. The presence of vitamin C would reduce the nitrites and prevent the cancer.
Great idea.
A new study, however, has revealed that although there has been a notable drop in the number of people who die from colon cancer, there really hasn't been much of a change in the number of people who actually get colon cancer. These findings were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting just this week. While researchers agree that the amount of nitrites in hot dogs were definitely reduced by the changes made by the government, those reductions did not decrease the risk for colon cancer in the country. Researchers feel that the results would have been evident by now.
It was agreed that the decrease in the death rate from colon cancer is most likely attributable to earlier detection and better treatments.
While the researchers agreed that reducing the nitrites in hot dogs was a beneficial move, the hot dog issue is difficult to determine. Since not everyone is a hot dog fan, and even most of those who are aren't eating them in excess, studying the issue is clouded.
Regardless of its effect on colon cancer, it's better for everyone that today's hot dogs carry reduced quantities of nitrites compared to their 1970's counterparts.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Catherine Lu, Public Information Officer (702) 486-6982 / 334-7953 firstname.lastname@example.com (Carson City, NV; February 27, 2013) — Can Republicans go left? Can Democrats go right to the hoop? Those are two questions to be answered when elected officials of both parties meet for the Biennial Donkeys/Elephants Basketball Classic benefiting the Foster Grandparent Program of the Elvirita Lewis Foundation. The game pits elected Republican officeholders against their Democrat counterparts and also features prominent basketball players from Nevada. Tip-off is Saturday, March 2 at 9:30 a.m. at the Lawlor Events Center, 1500 N. Virginia Street. The game is often a hotly contested affair, especially as the clock winds down and both sides attempt to claim victory. In the seven games on record, the Republicans lead the series five games to two. The Secretary of State organizes the game traditionally played during the legislative session. Secretary of State Ross Miller is playing on the Democrat team. Courtside play-by-play and color commentary will be provided by noted basketball aficionado and observer of partisan behavior, Jon Ralston. Both teams, which include constitutional officers, legislators and local elected officials, are allowed two ringers. Warren Rosegreen and Lindy La Rocque are the Donkey team ringers. Rosegreen is a former UNLV Rebel who went on to play basketball internationally and toured with the Harlem Globetrotters. La Rocque is the all-time career-leading scorer in Nevada girls' high school basketball history and played in four Final Four games with Stanford University's women's basketball team. The Elephant team ringers are Heather Cusick and Johnmin Hickey. Cusick is a graduate assistant at UNR's Academic Advisement Center and was an All-American candidate for Miami University's women's basketball team in Oxford, Ohio. Hickey was Nevada Prep "Player of the Year" in 2001, All-State First Team. Tickets for the Donkey/Elephant Basketball Classic are just $10 for adults or $5 for children and seniors, and may be purchased at the door, or in advance at the Secretary of State's office in the Capitol building. A portion of ticket proceeds from the Basketball Classic will be donated to the Foster Grandparent Program of the Elvirita Lewis Foundation, an organization that helps maintain the dignity and productivity of the senior citizens. The Foster Grandparent Program places senior volunteers, 55 years and older, in supervised settings within K-12 schools, public agencies, family drug court, juvenile detention, etc. with the goal of helping at-risk children meeting academic standards, as well as providing positive intergenerational social interaction. Doors to the South Main entrance on the ground level open at 9 a.m. Parking is available in the Brian Whelan Garage on North Virginia Street, south of the arena. A post-game rally follows the Donkey/Elephant Basketball Classic at Little Waldorf Saloon, 1661 N. Virginia St., from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Then, return to the Lawlor Events Center to watch the Nevada Wolf Pack men's basketball as they go head to head against the UNLV Rebels. Tickets are available at the UNR box office or online at www.mynevadatickets.com.

The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball team returns to the road with a contest at McNeese State on Thursday, Jan. 16, in Lake Charles. The Islanders, who are out to a 3-1 start in conference play, have never won a game in Burton Coliseum.
• Over the last four games, eight different players have posted at least one 10-point game. Rashawn Thomas and John Jordan are the only two Islanders who have done it more than once.
• John Jordan had his fifth and sixth 20-point games last week, and is averaging a team-best 18.5 points per game in league play.
• The 101 points scored by the Islanders were the most since scoring 107 against Nicholls on Feb. 8, 2007.
• Six different players finished in double figures against Northwestern State, the first time that has occurred since 2006.
• Jake Kocher notched his second game with 10-plus points in the last four when he had 12 against Stephen F. Austin.
• The Islanders took part in a 10-day, four-game tour of Italy in August, a trip that allowed them 10 extra days of practice prior to the tour.
• Though Coach Wilson has his most experienced team with the Islanders, only five players have more than one year of Division I playing experience (Ali, Knowles, Jordan, Douvier, King).
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi split the season series with McNeese State, falling in a hard-fought contest in Lake Charles, 75-71, but knocking off the Cowboys on Homecoming in Corpus Christi, 61-58. In the Lake Charles contest, Will Nelson had 24 points and nine rebounds, while John Jordan posted 17 points and nine assists. The Islanders got the game within one possession three times in the final three minutes, but McNeese hit its free throws down the stretch (10-for-12) to ice the win.
In the game in Corpus Christi, three different players finished in double figures, with Joy Williamson and Hameed Ali leading the way with 15 points each. Zane Knowles added 10 points and seven rebounds, while John Jordan had eight points, six assists and six rebounds. The victory started the Islanders' run at the end of the season, where they won four of their final eight conference games after a 1-9 league start.
The Islanders and Cowboys have had a very even all-time series, with A&M-Corpus Christi trailing 5-4. Five of the last six meetings have been decided by four points or less, with two of those games going to the Islanders. In Lake Charles, the Islanders have never won, possessing an 0-4 mark including last year's 75-71 defeat at the hands of the Cowboys.
In a battle for first place in the Southland Conference, Stephen F. Austin had a red-hot night from the field, shooting 50 percent from the field, to knock off the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball team 80-70 on Saturday night. The Lumberjacks improved to 4-0 in the league, while the Islanders are now 3-1.
Thomas Walkup led the way with 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Jacks, who were victorious for the 12th straight contest. Deshaunt Walker (14), Tanner Clayton (13) and Nikola Gajic (11) also finished in double figures for SFA. Clayton was a perfect 6-for-6 from the field, with most of his points coming on putbacks. The Lumberjacks outrebounded the Islanders 34-24 in the contest. Stephen F. Austin committed just seven turnovers in the contest, with five of those coming on Islanders steals.
John Jordan scored 24 points and added seven assists and two steals in a losing effort for A&M-Corpus Christi. Jake Kocher had a strong game as well, scoring 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting in 18 minutes of work.
With Rashawn Thomas' putback layup, the Islanders cracked the 100-point barrier against Northwestern State on Thursday. It marked the 15th time in school history that the team has finished in triple figures (ninth time against a Division I school). The last game with over 100 points for the Islanders came against Nicholls on Feb. 8, 2007 – a 107-91 win over the Colonels.
It was also far and away the most points scored in the Willis Wilson era, besting the previous high of 82, coming in an overtime loss to UTSA in 2012. The previous high in a regulation game for the Islanders was the 81 scored at Central Arkansas a week ago.
The Islanders have seen an improvement on the offensive end with the advent of conference play. A&M-Corpus Christi has topped 70 points in each of its four conference contests and is currently fourth in the league with an average of 80.8 in league play. The Islanders are 10th overall with 68.6 points per game on the year.
John Jordan is only a junior for the Islanders basketball team, but he's the most experienced player on the roster and one of the favorites for Southland Conference Player of the Year. The Houston native was named Preseason First Team All-Southland Conference by the league's coaches.
He leads the team and is seventh in the league with his 16.0 points per game, while his 4.7 assists are second. Despite his 5-foot-10 frame, he has also pulled in 5.1 boards per game. He has posted 20 points or more on six occasions, five assists or more nine times and at least five rebounds in 11 games this year.
But the Oral Roberts contest showed he may be at his best when not being the go-to scorer. He had just seven points, but dished out six assists and commanded the offense to the signature victory of the Willis Wilson era. It was somewhat similar in the win over Northwestern State, as he ran the offense efficiently and was the principal architect of the press break that saw the Islanders commit just 10 turnovers in 75 offensive possessions.
Jordan did get 22 points against the Demons, but did so mostly on his ability to get to the free-throw line, where he went 11-for-16. He added 24 points (10 at the line) against SFA. On the year, he has gotten to the line 10+ times on six occasions and has hit at least 10 at the line four times. He is 101-for-146 on free throws this year.
It's hard not to be impressed when looking at the numbers that the 5-foot-10 Jordan put up last season. Jordan was second in the league in assists (5.5 per game) and 12th in the league with 12.8 points per game. His 5.5 assists per game were 39th in Division I.
Jordan broke the school record with 138 assists as a freshman, then bested his own mark with 159 as a sophomore. With 366 career assists, he is now second in school history and closing on Brian Evans' 493.
The Islanders' 3-1 start in league play can be attributed to a more efficient offense that is seeing a total team effort. In the four league games, eight different players have posted 10 points or more – Rashawn Thomas (3 games), John Jordan (3), Brandon Pye (2), Joy Williamson (2), Jake Kocher (2), Jeff Beverly (NW State), Hameed Ali (NW State) and Zane Knowles (ORU). Seven players are averaging at least 7.0 points per game on the season.
Against the Demons, A&M-Corpus Christi put six players in double figures, led by John Jordan's 22. It marked the first time that the team has had six players finish with 10 points or more since Nov. 16, 2006, the season opener of the team's Southland Championship season.
Freshman Rashawn Thomas was one of the most electrifying players for the Islanders over the summer. During the team's trip to Italy, he had a double-double in each of the team's four games.
But the fates turned another direction for Thomas. The Oklahoma City native fractured his jaw on Nov. 7, the day before the Islanders' first game of the year against Huston-Tillotson. He missed the first nine games of the season.
Any doubts about the 6-foot-7 forward being tentative were instantly alleviated. Thomas missed his first two shots, but converted his first career points at the 8:25 mark. By the time the dust had settled in the game, the freshman had 12 points, 10 rebounds, three blocks and two steals. He became the first Islander freshman with a double-double in his debut since Corey Lamkin had 16 points and 15 rebounds against Sul Ross State on Nov. 16, 2001.
He has had some struggles with foul trouble, but he has come out with a fury in his first four conference games. At Central Arkansas, he posted a career-high 18 points on 8-for-11 shooting and blocked four shots while snaring eight rebounds. At Oral Roberts, he one-upped himself, posting his second career double-double with 15 points, 12 boards and two blocks in leading the Islanders to the upset victory. He added 10 points, seven boards and two blocks against Northwestern State in just 18 minutes. He is third in the conference with 2.3 blocks per game in league play.
Thomas was a McDonald's All-America nominee and was named City Player of the Year his senior season at Southeast HS.
Another area that the Islanders had strong success in against ORU was in their outside shooting, as they knocked down five of their 10 triples in the victory. Brandon Pye was the principal architect, going 3-for-3 from beyond the arc, the second player (Hameed Ali vs. UTSA) to go perfect from beyond the arc with at least three makes.
The team followed that up with a 6-for-10 night against Northwestern State from beyond the arc. Interestingly, the Islanders tried just one three in the second half – a Hameed Ali triple that came as the shot clock ran down with 2:34 to play. The Islanders had an "off night" by going 5-for-12 from three against SFA.
In league play, the Islanders are shooting .429 from beyond the arc, a mark that is tops in the conference. Pye (6-for-7) is leading all Southland players with his .857 mark from downtown. A&M-Corpus Christi's opponents have shot just .303 from behind the arc.
These numbers are in stark contrast to the previous five games. The Islanders were just 14-for-60 (23.3 percent) from beyond the arc in the prior five. Pye (3-for-13) was the leading shooter in that time frame. The Islanders saw their opponents hit an average of 4.4 more threes (13.2 points) in that span.
Heading into the Oral Roberts game, one of the Islanders' better producers had been sophomore Brandon Pye. The Mansfield, Texas, native - who is one of the quietest players on the team - had scored 30 points in his previous six games, including eight against Central Michigan and eight against Oklahoma.
But against ORU, he took it to a higher level. Pye went 5-for-7 from the field, knocking down all three of his shots from distance, for 13 points in the victory. At one point, he scored eight straight points in the contest, spearheading an 8-0 run by himself. He added two assists, three steals and two rebounds in 20 minutes of work.
He showed it was no fluke in the win over Northwestern State. The sophomore went 5-for-10 from the field, knocking down both of his three pointers, and added a 3-for-4 performance at the line to finish with a season-best 15 points. He added a career-high four assists in the victory.
Pye, who has started each of the last six games, had flashes of brilliance last season as well, including a career-high 17 at South Alabama.
An impressive attribute of the Islanders' three conference wins was the ability to grab a lead and maintain it. Over 120 minutes of league play, the Islanders held an edge on the scoreboard for a total of 92:30. Furthermore, the team led for every second after halftime.
A&M-Corpus Christi led for the final 30:45 of the Oral Roberts game, the last 30:09 of the Northwestern State victory and the final 28:45 against Central Arkansas. Holding a lead at halftime has been paramount to the Islanders' success on the year – the team has led at half in all six of its victories this season.
The contrast in the SFA game could not have been more stark. The Islanders led for a total of just 20 seconds - from 16:11 to 15:51 of the first half.

Nadagast, on 16 January 2013 - 10:35 PM, said:
Obviously it was an overstatement, but it's retarded how it takes an entire season - sometimes even more - for them to realize what's not working in PvP. Take this upgrade-idea, for instance. VERY few PvP'ers support this idea and very few should simply because of the insane gap it creates between newly dinged players and people that have been here since day 1 of the season. It also demotivates people from levelling alts, as there's no use in having to wait 3-4 weeks for your weapon, and then another 3 months for full gear to be on par with everyone else. That was obviously not a well-thought out concept, and it goes to show how little they care about PvP at all.
Nadagast, on 16 January 2013 - 10:35 PM, said:
The slow pace is the exact problem of it all. Fixing something seasons after the problem occured isn't really helpful, and they've probably lost hundreds of thousands of subscribers just because they're so incredibly slow at listening to the PvP'ers outcries of what needs fixing and what doesn't.
Additional complexity doesn't hurt anyone - au contraire - it'd make the game more diverse and fun. This isn't their logic either, it's yours. You are assuming and guessing that this is how blizzard thinks, and honestly you're overcomplicating things.
That being said, I do understand everything isn't as easy to sort out as it's made out to be by players, but it sure as hell isn't as hard as blizzard makes it out to be either.

The 2014 Nelsonville Music Festival begins on May 29. Produced by Stuart's Opera House, the festival will once again feature an impressive slate of performances in "the beautiful, rolling hills of Southeast Ohio". In anticipation of the tenth annual festival, PopMatters interviews the organizers about its history and growing reputation.
Tim Peacock, executive director of Stuart's Opera House, describes the event as "an unlikely festival in an unlikely town" and says, "Nelsonville, with its… hills and forests… is in the most beautiful part of Ohio." Marketing director Brian Koscho speaks in similar terms of the festival as "a special event in a great place". He says, "I'm biased, but it is. Southeast Ohio is my home and it is a beautiful part of our world. It isn't the most obvious place for a festival to be, but once people make it down for the first time we hope they see why it is here."

Rising Economic Unease a Downside for Democrats
The easy political assumption is that whatever weakness President Barack Obama and his party are suffering right now is the direct result of the problems with the new health law–and there's certainly an element of that in Democrats' current problems.
But there's another force at work, one that actually might be more harmful to the Democratic cause in the fall, and it's this: Important segments of the party's base are showing signs of renewed economic anxiety, the kind of sentiment that can suppress enthusiasm and turnout in a midterm election.
The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, completed last week, suggested that economic unease has risen in recent months among women generally; college-educated women in particular; those with lower incomes; Latinos; and, most sharply, African-Americans.

- Seib Video: Three Reasons U.S. Hasn't Imposed More Sanctions on Russia
Those segments of the population form a pretty big chunk of the Democratic electoral coalition. In each group, those surveyed were more likely than they were in the middle of last year to say the U.S. is still in a recession. Among college-educated women, for example, 60% said the U.S. is still in a recession, up from 50% in June 2013. Among African-Americans, the number jumped to 66% from 51%.
As a technical matter, of course, the recession that began at the end of 2007 ended a long time ago—in June 2009, to be exact. But as a political matter, that's beside the point. The pain and uncertainty the recession caused lingers, and that's the sentiment captured in such numbers.
That, in turn, helps explain why Mr. Obama's job-approval rating has fallen among Democrats. A year ago, 84% of Democrats approved of the job he was doing; in this month's poll, that had dropped to 74%. That's roughly where former President George W. Bush found approval among his fellow Republicans at the comparable stage of his presidency.
By and large, Democrats are not incensed about Obamacare, so at least some of the problem lies elsewhere—and apparently in continuing economic insecurity.
That's why some Obama supporters were happy last week to see the president back to hammering away at an economic message, hosting a White House event to announce an executive action to force payment of overtime to more workers, and meeting with Democratic women in Congress to talk about economic problems facing women. As the Journal noted this week, a strong showing with female voters is key.
The great danger for Democrats in the kinds of numbers within the Journal/NBC News poll is that discouraged voters can easily turn into non-voters in a midterm election. And already there are some warning signs for Democrats on that front as well. Among Republicans, 55% expressed high interest in November's elections; among Democrats, the number was just 43%.

HARROGATE, TN -- Freshman pitcher Samantha Smith has been named the Railsplitter of the Week for the week ending on February 24th, the Lincoln Memorial University athletic department announced Monday morning.
Smith, a 6'0" right-handed pitcher out of Knoxville, Tennessee, earned this distinction after leading the LMU softball team to a 5-1 mark this past week with five wins on the mound. Samantha opened the week by pacing the Lady Railsplitters to 10-0 and 8-2 wins over Milligan College, as she combined for eight and two-thirds innings pitched in those two outings, surrendering only five hits combined and no earned runs. She also fanned 10 batters in the two games which led to a pair of victories on the rubber for the frosh.
Over the weekend, Smith sparked the Lady Railsplitters with three wins in four games at the Bellarmine Classic in Louisville, Kentucky. On Saturday, she put in seven innings of work, allowing only one run and striking out four to spearhead a 2-1 victory over Ashland University. Her best outing of the week came in the opener on Sunday morning, as she tossed 10 innings, allowing only two earned runs while striking out 11 in the Lady Railsplitters' 5-4 win over Ashland in 10 innings. She kept her momentum rolling with another complete-game performance in the finale of the week, as she fanned four batters and only allowed four hits in the Lady Railsplitters' 4-1 win over Bellarmine.
All told, Smith finished the week with 32.2 innings of work with only three earned runs allowed over that span. She recorded 29 strikeouts over that 32.2 innings span, while lowering her earned run average from 3.86 to 2.25. For the season, she improved her record to 7-4.
The Lady Railsplitters have won 10 of their last 12 games to move to 12-8 on the season. They will look to continue their steady play with seven games on tap this week. They are set to travel to King College on Tuesday, February 26th for a two-game set with the Tornado before heading to Duncan, South Carolina for the Mid-South Classic over the weekend.

I invited some fabulous bloggers--and fellow home rangers--to write guest posts on The Lone Home Ranger for this entire week during Vivi's Spring Break (called "April Vacation" in Beantown). These lovely ladies will be bringing you features focused on healthy, natural, and simple living. Enjoy!
Today's post comes from Jamie over at hands on : as we grow. Be sure to read through to the bottom of the post to see her bio and link to her blog. She makes me miss Wisconsin the way she calls them "pop cans;" where I'm from--Atlanta--they are "coke cans," no matter what beverage they contain.
Simple toys. Gotta love them.
I've been collecting pop cans tabs ever since I collected ideas for the Upcycle Your Recyclables roundup. I couldn't for the life of me find any way to use pop cans or the pop can tabs. I know the pop cans have the sharp edges at the mouth, so I've put that idea aside for awhile. But we did have some fun with the pop can tabs.
So, if you have a collection of pop can tabs. Add some pipe cleaners to the mix and you've created a threaded activity for the kids to keep busy with.
(Plus the dumping out and picking up of the pop can tabs can definitely keep them busy in itself.)
George, my 18 month old, just thought this was hilarious. I put a couple tabs on his pipe cleaner to show him what he can do. He quickly pulled them off. He just like to play with the pop can tabs!
Once he tried threading them onto the pipe cleaner again, he thought he was brilliant for getting one on! Once he got two on, he was definitely a genius!
I thought for sure Henry (my four year old) would thread on tab after tab to make a bracelet or something of the sort. As usual, the activity doesn't turn out as I expect.
Instead, he tried to see how incredibly fast he could pull of the pop can tab after he put it on. He kept asking me to "Watch how fast I can do it Mom"!
Isn't there great fun to be had found in your recycling bin?
Jamie is the creator of hands on : as we grow, where she blogs about all the fun activities, crafts and art projects she does with her two boys, Henry (4) and George (1 1/2). They like simple toys and have fun learning in their every day play.

fun with pop can tabs!

haha! Wisconsin's close :) I'm in Iowa. And never thought they'd be called anything else but pop cans :)
What a great idea!! I will start saving those now too :)
This looks like a lot of fun! I love the tiger tail pipe cleaners.
Please encourage the little one to sit criss cross applesauce rather than "W" sitting. This position is bad on knees and hips and also can discourage good sitting balance. Great fine motor activity!

PALO ALTO -- Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk announced Thursday that Tesla is making its vast array of technology patents available to the public for free, part of a bold move to spur development of electric vehicles in the face of climate change and create demand for Tesla's batteries.
Musk wrote in a blog post that Tesla has removed framed patents from the wall at the company's Palo Alto headquarters in the spirit of the "open source" movement and said Tesla won't initiate patent suits against "anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology." Tesla will continue to apply for patents going forward, he said, but only to protect itself from being hampered by patents taken out by others for the same technology.
"Tesla Motors was created to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport," Musk wrote. "If we clear a path to the creation of compelling electric vehicles, but then lay intellectual property land mines behind us to inhibit others, we are acting in a manner contrary to that goal."
Tesla is known for its all-electric Model S sedan and is developing a Model X, a crossover SUV. The company plans to break ground this month on a "gigafactory" for batteries for electric vehicles and stationary energy storage products for homes, commercial businesses and utilities.
As of the end of last year, Tesla had been issued 203 patents and had more than 280 patent applications pending with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and internationally, according to the company's most recent annual report.
"Given that annual new vehicle production is approaching 100 million per year and the global fleet is approximately 2 billion cars, it is impossible for Tesla to build electric cars fast enough to address the carbon crisis," Musk wrote. "Our true competition is not the small trickle of non-Tesla electric cars being produced, but rather the enormous flood of gasoline cars pouring out of the world's factories every day."
Musk often has noted that electric vehicles remain a tiny fraction of overall auto production and that fewer than 1 percent of the 100 million vehicles sold each year are electric.
In a conference call with journalists, he spoke with increasing urgency about the need to act on climate change and expressed frustration with the patent system in general, saying it "is not ideally suited to fostering innovation."
"What we're doing is a modest thing, not an enormous thing," said Musk. "Look, we're just trying to be helpful. I don't think this hurts us."
Musk said executives from BMW visited Tesla on Wednesday to discuss ways to collaborate, particularly around infrastructure issues like Tesla's Supercharging stations. Currently, only Model S drivers can use Tesla Superchargers, but that could change.
Mark Lemley, a professor at Stanford Law School who teaches patent law, said Tesla's move, while largely unheard of in Detroit, comes from a Silicon Valley mindset of creating a "network effect" to further boost the adoption of disruptive products and grow the ecosystem of companies in the space. He noted that Android has become the dominant operating system in the smartphone market, while Apple's share has fallen, thanks in part to Google's decision to open source the Android platform.
"Musk is saying 'If you want to use our technology, we won't sue you.' That's a big deal," said Lemley. "It's also a huge indictment of the patent system. From a patent law perspective, we grant patents to encourage innovation. Now one of the most innovative companies in the world thinks the profitable thing for the company to do is give them away."
Alan Baum, who runs an auto industry research firm in West Bloomfield, Michigan, said Tesla is trying to make other automakers more comfortable with what Tesla is doing.
"Tesla is not threated by the other electric vehicles that are out there," said Baum. "It's an effort to get everyone more comfortable with EVs. You have to wonder if it's also an effort to sell more batteries from the gigafactory."
Tesla's stock remained largely unchanged Thursday as Wall Street digested the news; it closed at $203.52 and was down slightly in after-hours trading.
"We've been trained our whole lives to think that having a lot of patents is good," said Theo O'Neill, an analyst with Litchfield Hills Research. "Opening it up is counterintuitive."

One of best perks of the tournament is there's a swimming pool available to cool off at lunch! I definitely recommend it.

Zip down the baking aisle at a supermarket. Everything you need to make these cupcakes is there. Include kids in the fun. They can add the beaks and hats.
Catch the Backyardigans on Nick Jr.
Tint one can of the vanilla frosting green. Spoon 1 cup of the green frosting into a pastry bag fitted with a small star tip; set aside. Spoon 1/4 cup of the remaining frosting into a resealable bag; set aside. Tint the remaining frosting a dark blue/purple with the food colors.
Place the cookies on a wire rack placed over a wax-paper-lined sheet pan. Heat the blue frosting in a microwave-proof measuring cup for 5 seconds, or until the texture of slightly whipped cream. (Do not overheat!) Pour the frosting over the cookies to cover completely. Reheat the excess if necessary. Reserve several tablespoons for the cap. Let the cookies dry for about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, frost the tops of the cupcakes with the green frosting. Transfer the cookies to the center of each cupcake. Pipe several patches of "grass" with the frosting in the pastry bag with the star tip.
Trim the gum drops and press at the top of the cookie to make Pablo's hat. Brush some of the reserved blue frosting on top. Attach small pieces of red licorice on top of the hat. Pipe dots of white frosting for the eyes and attach the mini chocolate chips, flat-side up. Add a small dot of vanilla frosting onto the chocolate chips. Mold the fruit chew into a small diamond shape. Attach as his beak and pipe a dot of red in the center. Add eyebrows with the black frosting. Continue with the remaining cupcakes and ingredients.

This is a weekly editorial by WXII President and GM Hank Price.
One of the most anticipated shopping weekends of the year is upon us, but unless state lawmakers change their minds, this will be the last "tax free holiday."
For about a decade, for one weekend a year, local shoppers could buy clothing, school supplies and a host of other items without having to pay a sales tax.
The incentive will go away as part of a tax reform measure signed by Gov. Pat McCrory, and we think that's a shame.
The state says it lost more than $13 million in tax revenue during 2012's tax free holiday, but that loss has been shoppers' gain. Times are tough and folks are looking to save every penny they can – especially with school around the corner.
Without the tax free holiday, local retailers stand to lose as well.
We hope state leaders will revisit this issue, and we hope we haven't seen the last tax free holiday.

Scalia and Ginsburg Chat About Snowden, Twitter
Justices Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg chatted with the National Press Club, fielding questions from journalist Marvin Kalb and audience members about the First Amendment, privacy, national security and other constitutional issues. They also reflected on their friendship and disagreements, a dynamic captured in composer Derrick Wang's recent opera 'Scalia/Ginsburg.' Here are some excerpts from Thursday's talk.
• Justice Scalia says he agrees with Justice Ginsburg more times than not:
Marvin Kalb: Are you two ever going to agree on big issues and still maintain the friendship?
Justice Scalia: We agree on a whole lot of stuff. Ruth is really bad only on the knee-jerk stuff. (Big laughs from the audience.) She is a really good textualist. In those things, where the text is what she's guided by, she's terrific. She's obviously very smart. Most cases, I think, we're together. I think we are together in a lot of criminal defense cases, upholding the rights of the criminal defendant. Ruth and I are quite frequently in dissent from the court's decision. So we agree on a whole lot. You have it wrong.
• Thoughts on fugitive ex-NSA contractor Edward Snowden and this week's Pulitzers:
Kalb: It is worth noting that the Washington Post just this week won a Pulitzer Prize for its reporting on Edward Snowden and the NSA leaks. I'd like to start by asking you, do you think the Post deserved the prize?
Ginsburg: That's a question that the journalists in the audience are much better equipped to answer than I am.
Scalia: I don't read the Post so I have no idea what they got the prize for…
Kalb: Do you believe that Snowden is a whistleblower or traitor?
Scalia: That's not part of what I worry about, really. That's a policy question, not a legal question. And I stay out of that stuff."
Ginsburg: It's also possible, is it not, that the question you raise could come before the court. And we are not at liberty to preview."
• On Twitter and the First Amendment:
Kalb: To what extent do social media platforms such as Twitter, where speech can be broadcast to millions instantly, challenge traditional concepts of free speech?
Scalia: I don't know that it challenges traditional concepts of free speech. It certainly challenges traditional manners of finding out who said what, where certain people say things that are unlawful or punishable by law. I don't think it changes what the First Amendment means.
Ginsburg: A great danger for people who use those devices is you can't take it back. You know, once you let it out, it's there for everybody to see for years.
• On gathering information:
Kalb: Don't you in the Supreme Court have the ability to pick up the phone and call somebody at the White House and say, I have a question?
Ginsburg: Absolutely not.
Scalia: Absolutely not. We are at the mercy of whatever people happen to bring to us.
• On what sets America apart:
Scalia: [The Bill of Rights] should not be painted as the foundation of the American democracy… Don't forget the Bill of Rights was an afterthought. It was not what they debated about in Philadelphia in 1787… What they thought would preserve a free society was the structure of government — that's what they debated about in 1787. And if you think that's false, just look around the world. Every tin-horn dictator in the world today has a bill of rights. It isn't a bill of rights that produces freedom. It is the structure of government that prevents anybody from seizing all the power.
Ginsburg: I do not think the rest of the world is regarding our legislature at the current moment as a model to be followed.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Asked about potential trade deadline moves, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Sunday morning that his lineup is pretty much set and the starting rotation doesn't need an overhaul.
Then Bochy switched gears.
"You look in the bullpen," he said. "That's where we need some help."
The Giants again struggled in the late innings in a 7-2 loss to the Miami Marlins, but that was far from the only problem Sunday, or during the team's first losing homestand since last summer. The Giants managed just 20 runs while going 3-4 during a homestand against the Marlins and San Diego Padres, who rank ninth and 13th in the National League, respectively, in team ERA.
"I don't think anybody in here is going to make excuses," catcher Buster Posey said. "We just didn't play well."
That's been a trend against the league's weakest teams this season. The Giants are just 13-17 against teams with losing records at the time and dropped three of four to the Marlins, who have the worst record (25-50) in baseball.
The Marlins jumped ahead early on Sunday, getting a homer from Justin Ruggiano on Matt Cain's second pitch of the game. An RBI double by Marcell Ozuna added another run in the fourth, and the Marlins went up 3-0 in the sixth. The Giants got a run back in the bottom of the inning when pinch-hitter Tony Abreu hit a leadoff triple and scored on Marco Scutaro's ground out.
Hunter Pence led off the seventh with a home run, ending the Giants' 90-inning homer drought. Bochy said he isn't worried about the paucity of homers, pointing out that the Giants have still scored plenty of runs by executing and stringing together rallies.
They did neither in the late innings Sunday. A walk of Brandon Belt and a single by Andres Torres put runners on first and third with one out in the seventh, but pinch-hitter Joaquin Arias hit into a double play.
The Giants threatened again in the eighth, starting with Gregor Blanco's one-out infield single. Scutaro lined a ball to right and tried to take second when the throw from Giancarlo Stanton went through to third base, but Scutaro was thrown out when Marlins third baseman Ed Lucas alertly made a strong throw back to second. Posey followed with a ground out that stranded another runner at third. The Giants were 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position on Sunday and 4 for 32 in the series.
Bochy and Posey both said they didn't believe the lineup was pressing to make up for recent injuries. Cain laid the team-wide struggles out in simple terms.
"We didn't get the job done," he said. "We didn't get guys in like we needed to, and we didn't throw like we needed to."
The Giants will get a boost in the first category on Monday when Pablo Sandoval comes off the disabled list for the opener of a three-game series with the rival Los Angeles Dodgers.
"It certainly should do something for the club," Bochy said. "We need a lift right now."
Nick Noonan was sent back to Triple-A Fresno to make room for Sandoval, and another transaction could be on the way. Right-hander Chad Gaudin (elbow contusion) didn't throw his scheduled bullpen session Sunday and is questionable to start Tuesday. Left-hander Mike Kickham is the leading candidate to take Gaudin's place if a spot starter is needed.
Several in the losing clubhouse pointed out that the Giants need a spark, whether it comes from Sandoval, Kickham or somebody else. Many unlikely players have provided that this season, including Jean Machi. But the right-hander's downward spiral continued in the ninth when he gave up four runs to turn a 3-2 game into a laugher.
The loss clinched the Giants' first losing homestand since they went 3-7 at AT&T Park from July 23 to Aug. 2 last season.
The eventual champions responded to that stretch by taking five of seven on the next trip.
Bochy said the upcoming 10-game road set against the Dodgers, Colorado Rockies and Cincinnati Reds is critical. Posey echoed his manager.
"It's time to crank it up a little bit and play with a sense of urgency," he said.

The painter Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse (?) painting in the open air – street scene
The painter and sculptor, Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse (Paris, 1848 – Paris, 1913) trained under his father, the famous sculptor and caster Albert Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, then at the Ecole des Beaux-arts (School of Fine Art) under Cabanel and Boulanger. The Petit Palais owns three of his works, including the famous Flour carriers, a Parisian scene (1883).
The "artist's portrait", of which this photograph is an original example, evolved significantly in the late 19th century. Posed portraits of major celebrities were standard practice, courtesy of large businesses such as the Braun studio. By contrast, open-air photography promoted a much more spontaneous portrayal of the painter, adopting the image of the "painter in front of his subject" in order to depict this new conception of painting.
The subject here seems to be as much the artist in front of his subject as actual life in the street and the amused surprise of curious onlookers. Figures in the foreground observe the artist, but also the photographer taking a picture of the scene. The photographer could perhaps be trying to justify the subject that the artist has come to seek in a picturesque spot (possibly Normandy or the banks of the Seine judging by the fishing nets hanging above the artist). A portrait of an artist at work becomes for the photographer an opportunity to produce a spontaneous, unposed image which could not be further from official photography.

Republicans Sound Alarm at Obama War Policy
Republican lawmakers roundly criticized President Barack Obama's war-on-terror reset, saying Sunday that it makes America appear weak at a time when intense security threats remain.
"At a time we need resolve the most, we're sounding retreat," South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican, said Sunday on Fox News. "I've never been more worried about our national security."
In a speech last week, Mr. Obama laid out a revamped vision for America's war on terror, one that narrows the scope of the war to targeted terrorist groups instead of taking a broader, global approach that has shaped U.S. policy in the years since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. In his speech, Mr. Obama set the stage for new limits on the drone strike program and renewed his push to close the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Rep. Michael McCaul (R., Texas), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said he found "many parts" of Mr. Obama's speech "disturbing for many reasons."
In an interview on CNN Sunday, he said that the "narrative is that, you know, al-Qaida is on the run, they're defeated." President Obama "actually said that the threat now is what is was before 9/11. I'm couldn't disagree with him more on that."
Mr. McCaul said that while he agrees that "core al-Qaida has successfully been denigrated tremendously," he said the terrorist group "has evolved into a franchise, global movement, if you will, that inspires and also is very tactical."
The Texas Republican also took issue with Mr. Obama's call to close the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, which houses 166 detainees. He said that returning some to Yemen poses a problem because "we know one-quarter to one-third of these guys return to the battlefield." Bringing the detainees to the U.S. also carries big risks, he said, adding, "name me one American city that would like to host these guys, these terrorists in their country. I think the answer is zero."
Democratic lawmakers sprung the president's defense Sunday, arguing that no American wants the country to remain in a perpetual state of war.
"If we're constantly thinking of this in the context of war, we stand at risk of doing things which compromise our values and freedoms," Illinois Sen. Richard Durbin, the Senate's No. 2 Democrat, said on Fox News.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida Democrat, supported the president's push to close Guantanamo. The president isn't pushing to release the prisoners, she said, and in some ways the prison itself has become a liability.
"It incites our enemies," she said in an ABC News interview, "It's used as a rallying cry."
The president's speech last week pushed for new limits on drone strikes as well. Mr. Obama said strikes would only be used for suspected terrorists who pose a "continuing and imminent threat to the American people" and would not be used to punish suspected terrorists. He said that it would be unconstitutional for the government to target and kill any U.S. citizen without due process and drones shouldn't be deployed over U.S. soil.
Questions surrounding those policies have been a central concern for lawmakers like Republican Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.) who criticized the administration's use of unmanned drones in a nearly 13-hour filibuster earlier this year. The limits Mr. Obama laid out did little to quell his concerns.
"It's not good enough for us that he's not using a power," Mr. Paul said in an ABC News interview. "We want him to assert that he won't. That he doesn't have the power."
The president's revamped approach to the war on terror was just one of a number of issues that had Republicans taking aim at the Obama administration Sunday. Sen. Graham also called for special counsels to investigate recent actions by the IRS and the Justice Department. The IRS was targeting conservative groups for extra scrutiny and the Justice Department was secretly conducting probes into journalists from the Associated Press and Fox News.
"We're beginning to criminalize journalism, and I think that should worry us all," Mr. Graham said on Fox News.

My morning coffee ritual often brings a smile to my face as I reach for a mug. Years ago my job required traveling across the continental United States, and it wasn't long before I was searching for a collectible from each state I visited. I definitely wasn't a silver spoon, thimble or shot glass collector. I pondered regional cookbooks for a while but decided that item could be pricey and wasn't always easy to find.
Ultimately my collection resulted in a series of coffee mugs. They're easy to find, inexpensive and useful. And to the devote coffee drinker the coffee mug is a life necessity.
One of my unique mugs includes the brown, potato-shaped mug representing Idaho. Another is the one adorned with famous artist signatures on a black background - a purchase from the Chicago Institute of Art. I also like the penguin mug from the St. Louis Zoo. But my favorite has to be the pinstripe mug with the New York Yankees insignia on front. GO YANKEES!
