About the Book
Eric Asimov, the acclaimed chief wine critic for the New York Times, has written a beautiful and thought-provoking combination memoir and manifesto, How to Love Wine.
With charm, wit, and intelligence, Asimov tells how he went from writing beer reviews for his high school newspaper on Long Island to the most coveted job in the industry. He evaluates the current wine culture, discussing trends both interesting and alarming, and celebrates the extraordinary pleasures of wine while, at the same time, questioning the conventional wisdom about wine.
Whether you're a connoisseur or a novice, already love wine or want to know it better, How to Love Wine: A Memoir and Manifesto is the book for you.
For many people, wine is an anxiety-inducing mystery as arcane as quantum physics, and with so many varieties, it's difficult to know what to choose. As New York Times wine critic Eric Asimov argues, that puzzling uncertainty often prevents people from buying and ordering wine, depriving them of an exquisite, deeply satisfying experience.
In How to Love Wine, Asimov examines why the American wine culture produces such feelings of anxiety and suggests how readers can overcome their fears and develop a sense of discovery and wonder as they explore the diversity and complexity of the world of wine. With warmth, candor, and intelligent authority, Asimov interweaves his professional knowledge and insights with engaging personal stories of his love affair with wine, a lifelong passion that began when he was a graduate student on a budget.
In a direct, down-to-earth manner, Asimov discusses favorite vineyards, wine's singular personalities, the "tyranny of tasting notes"—those meaningless, overwritten wine descriptions that often pass for criticism today—and current wine issues.
Throughout, he incorporates in-depth discussions of beautiful wines, both easy to find and rare, and pays special attention to those that have been particularly meaningful to him. Thought-provoking and enjoyable, How to Love Wine will help diminish readers' anxiety, bolster their confidence, and transform them into true wine lovers.

Investment Lessons From 'The Walking Dead'
You can learn a lot about investing by watching a show about a zombie apocalypse.
I've been moonlighting as a TV critic for our Speakeasy blog, writing the recaps for AMC's hit show The Walking Dead. I'd watch the show, then watch it again, then watch it again, looking for themes, angles, the human element that raised the story above a mere zombie gorefest.
What I also realized is that there's some good lessons in the show for investors, as well. Because, really, investing these days is not exactly unlike trying to survive in a plague-riddled Georgia countryside after a zombie apocalypse hits.
Here, then, is a short list of lessons that investors can draw from The Walking Dead, with relevant market analogies from two long-term, value-focused money managers and fans of the show, Jim O'Shaughnessy of O'Shaughnessy Asset Management in Stamford, Conn., and John Schwinghamer of ScotiaMcLeod of Montreal.
Don't toy with zombies, kid. In season two, young, curious Carl Grimes comes across a zombie trapped in mud. Rather than run, Carl plays games with the zombie. He toys with it, throws rocks, pokes it with a stick. Of course the zombie gets loose, nearly eats Carl, and creates havoc down the road.
Relevant market analogy: "A lot of companies are like zombies that are stuck in the mud, they're moving but the lights aren't really on," said Schwinghamer, who's also author of the book Purple Chips. "These are companies that keep diluting earnings, are top-line oriented and don't do any favors for investors."
Don't wait for a bad idea to get good. Again, a lesson drawn from season two. When poor Sophia gets chased into the woods by zombies, the crew spends an inordinate amount of time looking for her. Even after it's clear she couldn't have survived for so long on her own, sheriff Rick Grimes keeps the search on. Eventually, Sophia is found – a little zombie.
Relevant market analogy: Schwinghamer pointed to BlackBerry a prime example of a company that has burned investors waiting for it to turn around. "BlackBerry is a great zombie candidate," he said. The company good days are behind, but "somehow (investors) believe this company is going to turn around. It's not going to happen."
"It's called the disposition effect," said O'Shaughnessy, author of What Works on Wall Street. "Investors sell winners too soon, and hold losers way too long."
Don't trust smooth talkers. The stunned survivors who gravitate to the town of Woodbury are drawn in by the golden tongue and promises of "The Governor," a man who turns out to be so malevolent he guns down most of the town in cold blood when they defy his orders.
Relevant market analogy: "All too often we are making investment choices based on a very charismatic presentation," O'Shaughnessy said. There are strategies that look good over a short time-frame that falter in the long run, he said. "In the hands of a charismatic man, he can make a lot of hay with them."
O'Shaughnessy is a staunch believer in testing investment theories against historical data, and having and maintaining a well-thought out investing plan that avoids trends and crazes.
"When you're confronted with a charismatic man, go to Milton," he said, referring to Woodbury's decidedly not-charismatic (and dearly departed) resident scientist, "don't go to the Governor."
Never follow a guy who's got a bayonet where his right hand used to be into the tombs because "Rick said" he wanted them cleared out. Actually, this one may not have any relevance to investors. Still, "I've never trusted anyone that I've met with a bayonet prosthetic," Schwinghamer said.
Luck helps sometimes, but smarts are more reliable. There is an unbelievable amount of luck involved in surviving a zombie apocalypse, but long-term survivors, like Rick, or Tyreese or Michonne, rely more on their smarts than their luck.
Relevant market analogy: Pier 1. Who didn't think this stock was doomed? Investors who stuck with this company when it seemed doomed have been paid for their bet.
At the same time, though, "it's really difficult to distinguish between what was luck and what was a skillful outcome," O'Shaughnessy said. Investors need to be mindful of their process. A bad process, he said, can lead to a good outcome, and vice versa, but more often than not, a bad process will lead to a bad outcome, and a good process to a good outcome.
"You have to have the courage of your convictions, and your convictions should be based on evidence," O'Shaughnessy said.

Thanks to the loyalty and support of our customers over the past 11 years, Strange Famous Records is proud to be one of the last remaining webstores still offering music, clothing and exclusive material from the most talented artists in independent hip-hop. The concept of our store was conceived in 2000 when its founder, Sage Francis, exchanged emails with fans who were looking to purchase his music directly through him as they couldn't find it through any traditional means. He provided a list of available product and then requested that people send him cash in a concealed envelope. Surprisingly, despite the obvious risks involved, people were trusting enough to send their hard earned cash via snail-mail. In return, they were sent their purchase along with various 'random goodies' Uncle Sage had hanging around his Rhode Island home and office (a practice we keep to this day.) For obvious reasons, we no longer accept cash through the post. Thankfully, we are now able to accept payment via Paypal, credit card, and/or money order.
In 2004, the Strange Famous Records staff and roster grew, resulting in the webstore holding more material from artists who are on the label as well as material from our non-SFR contemporaries. It would probably be more profitable for us to carry popular music (i.e. whatever's trendy and hot right now,) but that's not the impetus to our being. We will continue to uphold our standard for art and business until there's no demand for it, at which point we will gladly bow out of the game. That said, we've delivered tens of thousands of packages to our fans since our meager beginnings in 2000 and we expect those numbers to climb for years to come.
With mom-and-pop music stores closing shop at a drastic rate, it has become increasingly more difficult for fans to obtain physical product from musicians in general, let alone underground artists. We're grateful to have built a direct link with the fans, so as long as you continue to support us then we will continue to manufacture the goods. Your help in spreading the word is always appreciated so please feel free to send your friends in our direction or follow us on

Also, it's incredibly weird that this is the only post you've made after registering your name. As if the only reason you went through the process of having your username activated was to comment on a thread that is about how to register a username...which you supposedly think was in response to you even though that's impossible.

The study shows fast food consumption among kids has increased fivefold since 1970.
Nutritionists say a little fast food once in a while never hurts anyone, but many folks make eating it a daily habit, and that's not a good idea.
As a YMCA fitness instructor and wellness director, Meggin Van Hook says getting today's youth to eat well gets tougher and tougher all the time.
"I found that one in three children is obese in today's society, and that's in America so it's a huge epidemic," Van Hook explains.
New studies show that one-third of American children eat fast food every day, consuming 187 more daily calories than kids that eat at home.
Nutritionists say billions of dollars spent on advertising each year could be attracting children to fast food. They say youngsters may be more interested in what comes along with a kids' meal than the food itself.
"It's really getting them in the mindset that, okay, this is a quick fix. We can do this after soccer practice, we'll just run through and grab a burger. And there's nothing wrong with that occasionally, but it's after every practice, after every game," Van Hook says.
Nutritionists suggest introducing children to fruits, vegetables, and grains, and giving them water instead of soda.
They also add that a good diet, paired with plenty of exercise, will get your child on a healthier track in 2004.
Nutritionists say the key to a healthier diet is to avoid too many fats, sugars, and carbohydrates.
McDonald's is even testing out a new combo meal in the Indianapolis area that includes a pedometer instead of a toy, and a bottle of water instead of a soft drink.

When taking into account the costs of military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. defense budget has more than doubled since fiscal year 2001. And yet, despite this growth, the appetite for more defense funding has continued unabated, and our security dilemmas appear to grow.
Last year, Adm. Michael Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, argued that the Pentagon should be guaranteed 4 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product, a figure roughly consistent with today's defense spending. He offered no strategic justification for this spending level. Along these lines, at the height of last year's presidential campaign, the Chiefs led a Pentagon budget-planning exercise that sought to increase the defense budget by 14 percent in one year. They seemed to think that if they put out that number as what they absolutely needed, the next president would be vulnerable to attacks that he was "soft on defense" if he proposed anything less.
Assuming that our national security is the same thing as the size of our defense budget and military forces is a fundamental mistake."
To his credit, President Barack Obama didn't take the bait, holding the defense spending line at 4-percent growth for fiscal year 2010. Equally to his credit, Defense Secretary Robert Gates agreed to that level of spending for next year. Even more surprisingly, Gates eliminated programs with growing costs and performance problems such as the army's Future Combat System vehicles and the VH-71 helicopter. He also agreed to accept defense-budget projections for the future that would only grow with inflation, rather than the additional $450 billion the Chiefs wanted.
Less noticed, but equally important, Gates stepped into the messy, informal "unfunded requirements" budget process, which the services use to seek increases to their budgets outside of the formal budget-planning system. Every year since the Gingrich Revolution of 1994, the Armed Services Committees have invited the service chiefs to submit a separate letter telling the committees what the services wanted but didn't get in the regular budget. In years past, the defense secretary and White House didn't stop this permissive leak in the budget system because neither wanted to be accused of "muzzling" the uniforms.
Per usual, this spring, the Republican minorities on the Armed Services Committees, eager for an opportunity to hammer Obama on defense, called for the unfunded requirement letters. Gates didn't stop them per se; he simply announced that he would review them first. And lo and behold, air force "unfunded requirements," which had reached more than $20 billion in 2008, suddenly became less than $2 billion in 2009.
These are truly minimal, if important, gestures toward greater discipline in defense budgeting. But they have angered defense hawks. The Republican members of the Armed Services committees, for instance, are lambasting Obama and Gates for weakening national security. Meanwhile, the defense industry is quietly lobbying for more. Eager outside analysts are jumping in, too. Two weeks ago in a Washington Post op-ed, Michael O'Hanlon at the Brookings Institution called the Obama-Gates defense budget projections a "significant mistake" that would leave defense $150 billion short of what it needs between now and fiscal year 2014.
The critics conveniently forget that the defense budget has doubled in the last eight years. They still don't seem to think we're spending enough on national security and more for defense seems to be their answer. More largely, the national security debate in the United States takes place exclusively in the defense box, keeping it defined by defense logic and a static view of defense issues. But assuming that our national security is the same thing as the size of our defense budget and military forces is a fundamental mistake. And until Washington escapes from this circular reasoning, defense budgets and forces will continue to grow at a staggering rate, with declining security to show for it.
The Pentagon's logic is compelling on the surface: Forces were stressed in Iraq so we need more forces. Operating those forces continues to cost more than we predicted, so we must add funding to accommodate that cost increase. This is the logic O'Hanlon is stuck in, and it's the logic of defense budgeting as seen by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) when it looks at the costs of military forces. The CBO merely assumes the current force and projects what that force might cost in the future. It doesn't ask whether it's the right force with the right mission for the future of national security. Nor does it price out new missions. And it certainly doesn't explore the alternatives or examine overall U.S. strategy.
Thinking about national security this way is a tail-chasing exercise that cannot discipline defense planning or budgeting, and it neglects the underlying truth: Defense is a "support function" for U.S. statecraft; it is not U.S. statecraft itself.
Thus, it's time to ask two main questions about our national security strategy: What role do we choose to play in the world, and what is the right mix of tools to play that role? Sadly, there is little evidence that the administration is asking this question. Instead, they seem to be accepting things as they are.
In fact, the only strategy planning exercise going on today, the Pentagon's Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), has a defense orientation. Obviously then, the QDR will follow currently articulated defense missions and needs, using the current force as the starting point for its plan. Its assumptions will become the administration's strategic assumption as well.
In other words, the forces will stay large; program and budget trade-offs will be made at the margins; and, if the QDR articulates new missions for those forces (counterinsurgency, overseas contingency operations, stabilization and reconstruction), as Gates wants, they will be pasted on top of existing missions and force requirements.
And you can rest assured that the Pentagon won't engage the more basic question about the military's proper role in maintaining national security. They will blindly accept the logic of counterinsurgency, post-conflict reconstruction, and overseas contingency operations--more or less, fighting the last war, i.e., Iraq and Afghanistan. And so, the forces will grow; the military missions will expand; and the budgets will follow.
Meanwhile, we will do little or no planning for the other major contingencies that undoubtedly will shape the future--a weakening global economy, poverty, climate change, infectious diseases, religious strife, and so on. Military force won't solve these problems and has, at best, a peripheral role in dealing with any of them. Even worse, leaving the solutions to the Defense Department through some kind of a "constabulary" force creates the very conditions that make the force seem necessary.
Worse yet, our statecraft is so dysfunctional and over-militarized now that it's almost impossible to correct the imbalance. Today, we assume that none of our civilian tools (i.e., the State Department and foreign-assistance agencies) are able to provide U.S. security, advance our interests, or build international cooperation. The federal budget reflects this sentiment, with an inordinate amount of money going to defense spending. And so, increasingly, we turn to the Pentagon and uniformed military to do the things that we should be building a civilian strategy and the civilian capacity to accomplish.

When connecting to MySQL, or executing a query, proper error
handling is required. Many take this very seriously, and do a
construct like
mysql_connect() or die() or the
equivalent with
mysql_query(). For web apps this
generally makes error codes end up on the user page, you can
easily see this by doing a Google search for some of the common
error texts. Slightly improved apps are nicer to the user and log
the error separately.
But both approaches fail, fundamentally, as they don't take into account that not all errors are the same and, most importantly, many error are not fatal but require other forms of action. So let's look at that, look …

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Play was suspended due to darkness during the second round of the UALR Women's Golf Classic, played on Monday at Diamante Country Club. The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's golf team tied for seventh in the opening round with a 325 amid tough weather conditions in Arkansas.
Temperatures sat in the low 40s with wind gusting near 30 mph throughout the opening day of the event. Missouri State led all teams with a 312 in the first round, with Central Arkansas and North Texas tied for second at 319. Only 15 individuals broke 80 through the first 18 holes. The second round was stopped with approximately five holes remaining.
"It was a tough day for golf out there, and it was the kind of day where shooting par on any given hole was a win," head coach Carol Blackmar said. "I was really proud that our seniors showed good leadership and didn't let the conditions get to them. Tomorrow should bring a little better weather, and hopefully our scores will improve as well."
Senior Nikki Dunn sat in fifth place after round one, with her 78 leading the team, as she was one of three players at plus-6. Her classmate, Taylor Slagle, finished just behind with a 79, as she sat alongside seven others in a tie for eighth. Fenniak added an 81 to give the Islanders three players in the top 25. Sophomore Vanessa Johnson (87) and junior Lindsay Biehler (88) rounded out the Islanders scores for the opening round.
Through the first 13 holes of round two, Dunn and Slagle were both plus-4, Johnson plus-7 and Fenniak plus-9.
The Islanders finished the opening round just two strokes back of host Arkansas-Little Rock, which delivered a 323. Southland foe Sam Houston State and Middle Tennessee tied for fourth at 324, while A&M – Corpus Christi was joined by Oral Roberts in seventh.
MSU's Emma Clegg tied with North Texas' Georgina Mundy and SHSU's Nicole Budnik atop the round-one leaderboard with a 74. UCA's Julia Roth was the only other player to post a 77 or better, delivering a 76 over the first 18 holes.
Play will resume on Tuesday, with the conclusion of the second round. Updates will be provided as they become available on the official Twitter page of Islanders Golf (@IslandersGolf).

text: Beauty Pretty Perfect 10 February 2012 Lisa Niven THE curliest of lashes, the pinkest of lips and the rosiest of flushed cheeks - the arrival of spring brings with it a fresh new beauty look that's as flattering as it is fashionable. From the girlish false lashes at the Louis Vuitton spring/summer 2012 show to the youthfully dewy skin at Chanel and Versace, make-up artists created doll-like beauty looks that perfectly complemented the pretty pastels and feminine silhouettes that made up the season's collections.

4.2-2 False Statement -- § 53a-157b
Revised to November 6, 2014
Note: This instruction is for crimes committed on or after October 1, 2013. Public Act No. 13-144, § 2, renamed the offense and changed the wording of the statute, though the elements remained the same. For the earlier instruction, see Instruction 4.2-2A in the Archive.
The defendant is charged [in count ___] with false statement. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of false statement when (he/she) (1) intentionally makes a false written statement that (he/she) does not believe to be true with the intent to mislead a public servant in the performance of (his/her) official function, and (2) makes such statement under oath or pursuant to a form bearing notice, authorized by law, to the effect that false statements made therein are punishable.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Statement
The first element is that the defendant made a written statement (under oath / pursuant to a form bearing notice). <Insert the applicable definitions:>
A written statement is made under oath when the person making the statement makes a solemn declaration, before a person authorized by law to administer oaths, that the assertions contained in the written statement are true.
A "form bearing notice" is a form that states on its face that any false statements made on the form are punishable and that such notice was authorized by law.
Element 2 - Intentionally made
The second element is that the defendant intentionally made the written statement. A person acts "intentionally" with respect to a result when (his/her) conscious objective is to cause such result. <See Intent: Specific, Instruction 2.3-1.>
Element 3 - Known to be untrue
The third element is that the defendant did not, at the time that (he/she) made the statement, believe the statement to be true.
Element 4 - Intent to mislead
The fourth element is that the statement was specifically intended to mislead a public servant in the performance of (his/her) official function. A "public servant" is an officer or employee of the government or a quasi-public agency, elected or appointed, and any person participating as adviser, consultant or otherwise, paid or unpaid, in performing a governmental function. It is immaterial whether the public servant was in fact misled. It is sufficient if it is established that the statement was intended to mislead the public servant in the performance of (his/her) official function.
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant made a written statement (under oath / pursuant to a form bearing notice), 2) the defendant made the statement intentionally, 3) the defendant knew the statement was not true, and 4) the defendant made the false statement with the specific intent to mislead a public servant in the performance of (his/her) official function.
If you unanimously find that the state has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of false statement, then you shall find the defendant guilty. On the other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the defendant not guilty.
See State v. Brazzell, 38
Conn. Sup. 695, 697-98 (App. Sess. 1983).

A Special Report
Quest for Mideast Peace: How and Why It Failed
By DEBORAH SONTAG
Published: July 26, 2001
JERUSALEM -- Days before the Palestinian uprising erupted in September, Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Yasir Arafat held an unusually congenial dinner meeting in the Israeli's private home in Kochav Yair.
At one point, Mr. Barak even called President Clinton and, two months after the Camp David peace talks had failed, proclaimed that he and Mr. Arafat would be come the ultimate Israeli-Palestinian peace partners. Within earshot of the Palestinian leader, according to an Israeli participant, Mr. Barak theatrically announced, "I'm going to be the partner of this man even more so than Rabin was," referring to Yitzhak Rabin, the late Israeli prime minister.
It was a moment that seems incredible in retrospect, now that Mr. Barak talks of having revealed "Arafat's true face" and Ariel Sharon, the present prime minister, routinely describes the Palestinian leader as a terrorist overlord.
But during the largely ineffectual cease-fire effort now under way in the Middle East, peace advocates, academics and diplomats have begun excavating such moments to see what can be learned from the diplomacy right before and after the outbreak of violence. Their premise is that any renewal of peace talks, however remote that seems right now, would have to use the Barak-Clinton era as a point of departure or as an object lesson or both.
In the tumble of the all-consuming violence, much has not been revealed or examined. Rather, a potent, simplistic narrative has taken hold in Israel and to some extent in the United States. It says: Mr. Barak offered Mr. Arafat the moon at Camp David last summer. Mr. Arafat turned it down, and then "pushed the button" and chose the path of violence. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is insoluble, at least for the forseeable future.
But many diplomats and officials believe that the dynamic was far more complex and that Mr. Arafat does not bear sole responsibility for the breakdown of the peace effort.
There were missteps and successes by Israelis, Palestinians and Americans alike over more than seven years of peace talks between the 1993 Oslo interim agreement and the last negotiating sessions in Taba, Egypt, in January.
Mr. Barak did not offer Mr. Arafat the moon at Camp David. He broke Israeli taboos against any discussion of dividing Jerusalem, and he sketched out an offer that was politically courageous, especially for an Israeli leader with a faltering coalition. But it was a proposal that the Palestinians did not believe would leave them with a viable state. And although Mr. Barak said no Israeli leader could go further, he himself improved considerably on his Camp David proposal six months later.
"It is a terrible myth that Arafat and only Arafat caused this catastrophic failure," Terje Roed-Lar sen, the United Nations special envoy here, said in an interview. "All three parties made mistakes, and in such complex negotiations, everyone is bound to. But no one is solely to blame."
Mr. Arafat is widely blamed for his stubborn refusal to acknowledge publicly any evolution in the Israeli position, and later to seize quickly the potential contained in the 11th-hour peace pacakge that Mr. Clinton issued in late December.
Mr. Arafat did eventually authorize his negotiators to engage in talks in Taba that used the Clinton proposal as a foundation. Despite reports to the contrary in Israel, however, Mr. Arafat never turned down "97 percent of the West Bank" at Taba, as many Israelis hold. The negotiations were suspended by Israel because elections were imminent and "the pressure of Israeli public opinion against the talks could not be resisted," said Shlomo Ben-Ami, who was Israel's foreign minister at the time.
Still, the details of a permanent peace agreement were as clear at Taba as they ever have been, most participants said. So afterward, United Nations and European diplomats scrambled to convene a summit meeting in Stockholm. There, they believed, Mr. Arafat who is known to make deci sions only under extreme deadline pressure was prepared to deliver a breakthrough concession on the central issue of the fate of Palestinian refugees, and a compromise was possible on Jerusalem.
For a variety of reasons, the summit meeting never took place. In the Israeli elections in February, Mr. Barak lost re soundingly to Mr. Sharon. It was then that peace moves froze ?not six months earlier at Camp David.
After Camp David:
Much Went On Behind the Scenes
Key Israeli and Palestinian negotiators, as well as several American and European diplomats keenly involved in the peace talks of the Clinton-Barak era, were interviewed for this article. Mr. Arafat also gave an interview. Mr. Barak did not; Gadi Baltiansky, his former spokesman, said the former prime minister, who has kept a low profile since his defeat, was unwilling to talk.
Few Israelis, Palestinians or Americans realize how much diplomatic activity continued after the Camp David meeting appeared to produce nothing. Building on what turned out to be a useful base, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators conducted more than 50 negotiating sessions in August and September, most of them clandestine, and most at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem.

State Rep. Richard Morrissette said Wednesday there are major problems with the A-F Grading system for public schools rolled out by the Oklahoma Department of Education and that the issues need to be corrected before the grading system causes serious damage to the public education system.
"The political leadership in both parties knows there is a huge problem with the roll out of state school ratings, and it's time for the governor and legislative leadership to intervene in this bizarre process before irreparable damage is done," said Morrissette, D-Oklahoma City.
The veteran Oklahoma City lawmaker says Republican leaders need to be speaking publicly about the problems relating to State Superintendent Janet Barresi's roll out of the state's new school grading system.
"In recent days, I've seen a great deal of concern expressed in news stories and editorials about the questionable and partisan manner in which the implementation of the grading system is being conducted," Morrissette. said "My Republican friends have the same reservations, but too few are speaking out. It's time for the legislative leadership to express publicly what they are saying privately about the questionable manner in which the process is being conducted."
Morrissette says one aspect of the roll out is especially objectionable: the secretive manner in which the scoring roll out is being prepared.
"The ineptitude is one thing, but the lack of transparency is something that should give pause to any Oklahoman, regardless of party affiliation. I hope Republicans will join me in demanding complete transparency in this most important effort," he said.
"I believe that every legislator wants to make Oklahoma's education system the finest in the nation. But a vindictive roll out designed to place public education in a bad light could harm our state's economic development efforts and make our military bases more vulnerable in any upcoming BRAC hearings. Now is not the time to look the other way just to maintain the appearance of Republican unity," the Representative says.

OAKLAND -- Warriors coach Mark Jackson said Friday that Jermaine O'Neal will start Game 1 at center Saturday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. Now all that's left to determine is if Jackson will hold to it.
Jackson created a minor stir in the playoffs last year when he made a last-minute switch of his starting lineup against the Denver Nuggets, prompting the subsequently deposed George Karl to call Jackson's lineup tactics "bush" and "high-schoolish."
But Jackson at least had a rational explanation for his decision to go with O'Neal against the Clippers.
"He's a veteran, he puts pressure on your defense because of his ability to post up," the coach said. "I also like the fact that he has a lot of miles, and rather than having him sit there and go into a game where everyone else is in rhythm and loose, right now my thought process is to have him start the game and impact the game immediately."
At Clippers practice in Playa Vista, forward Blake Griffin was asked if he had any lingering issues with O'Neal after the two had a verbal confrontation in a hallway outside the Clippers locker room the last time the two teams played, March 12 at Staples Center.
"I don't have Jermaine's number," Griffin said. "I don't really talk to him. So I don't know if there's a lingering issue or not."
"A lot is going to be made of them as individuals, but it's the team game that's going to be the deciding factor," Blake said. "Those guys are both so good. They're amazing at using their teammates and creating shots for them as well as themselves. They're just two of the best in the game right now. I don't see there being any letdown. I think the matchup is going to be everything it's hyped up to be."
Curry was named the NBA's Western Conference player of the month, averaging 26.4 points and 9.9 assists in eight games in April.
"It's going to be incredible," the Clippers' Matt Barnes said of the matchup. "Probably the two top point guards in the NBA. Steph hands down is probably the best shooter in the league. Chris is the best all-around point guard, so it's going to be fun."
"That's Klay's opinion," Rivers said. "I don't really care, honestly. I just keep looking at what Blake's done, so if he's flopping, keep doing it because those numbers look awful good to me. So flop on. That's the way I look at it. Whatever he's done this year, I want him to keep doing exactly that.
"I think what's happening is Blake's kicking a lot of people's butts, and they need something to say about him."
"The data says we are the underdogs," Jackson said. "The data says Doc Rivers is the better coach. The data says they're the better basketball team. That's OK. That doesn't mean it's going to happen."

USA, 2013, 80 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Drama, GLBTLanguage: English
Part of the Cinema Q Film Festival - Screens Saturday, July 20 at 9:15pm & Sunday, July 21 at 4:45pm
Digital presentation - Recovering from an ill-fated affair with a married man, Gabe finds solace in the relationship he maintains with his ex-wife and daughter. On the other side of town, Ernesto evades life at home with his current live-in ex-boyfriend by spending much of his spare time in the hospital with an ailing past love. Impervious to the monotony of their blue-collar world, they maintain an unwavering yearning for romance. Far from the gay centers of the world, director Yen Tan explores the complex and oft-forgotten lives of gay men in small-town America. The understated, contemplative nature of Ernesto and Gabe's story is told from the perspective of an observer, allowing us—even if just for a moment—to understand what it means to be an outsider. The emotional isolation the two men have grown accustomed to is captured in a subtle, optimistic, poetic fashion while avoiding melodrama. In a refreshingly quiet film, Tan's protagonists never try to run away from their relatively hollow surroundings, but opt to fill life's deepest voids with their tenacious confidence.

MC task force is exploring ways to increase first-year retention rate
January 19, 2013
Although its retention rate in recent years for first-year students is higher than the national average, Marietta College has formed a task force to look at ways to improve those numbers....
The college's effort to examine retention results is a bright move and good business. The new President is a hands on person and one students will really be able to identify with. He and his wife have had loads of students to their home for various activities. Few students knew the previous President.

OAKLAND -- Two days after becoming Oakland's first elected official to endorse "stop-and-frisk" police tactics, Councilman Noel Gallo was named chairman of the council's Public Safety Committee -- an appointment one colleague said was the product of backroom deal-making.
Councilwoman Desley Brooks said Gallo, one of three rookies on the council, got the post in return for backing Councilwoman's Pat Kernighan 's successful bid for council president.
"The trade of a vote on an issue as important as public safety is one that should not have been done," Brooks said during a Wednesday council meeting.
According to Brooks, the alleged deal was "common knowledge," and Gallo had told people about it at the end of last year.
Kernighan, who was elected council president on Monday, called Brooks' assertion "unfounded" after the meeting. Gallo said it was "untrue" and "really not called for."
Kernighan had been competing against Councilman Larry Reid for the president's post, whose powers include running council meetings and making committee appointments. The council confirmed Kernighan's committee picks Wednesday, with only Brooks abstaining.
Council presidents often have had to make deals to win the job.
"It's nothing new," Reid said. "It always happens."
With three new council members this term, one of the rookies had to head a committee.
Kernighan said that Gallo, who served 20 years on the school board, had requested the chairmanship and had ample experience to run committee meetings. She said that Brooks, who will once again head the lower-profile Life Enrichment Committee, hadn't talked to her about committee assignments.
Brooks said she had no problem with Gallo heading Public Safety, only the alleged horse-trading.
Committees vet proposals and vote on whether to send them to the full council. Also serving on the Public Safety Committee will be council members Libby Schaaf, Lynette Gibson McElhaney and Dan Kalb -- none of whom support stop and frisk.
The tactic, which is synonymous with giving police more latitude to stop and search potential suspects, has come under fire in New York City, where critics say it has resulted in racial profiling. A federal judge on Monday deemed one component of New York's program unconstitutional.
Stop and frisk has gotten attention in Oakland since the city announced plans last month to hire former NYPD and LAPD Chief Bill Bratton as a consultant to help reduce crime. Bratton has used stop and frisk as a chief and continues to defend the practice.
Gallo said that although he supports stop and frisk, he won't push for it if Chief Howard Jordan doesn't want it.
"I just don't want to continue to make excuses when we all know who's carrying the guns, who's doing the shooting and who's being violated," Gallo said.
The other council committee appointments are as follows: Reid, chairman of ¿community and economic development; Schaaf, chairwoman of¿ finance; Rebecca Kaplan, chairwoman of public works; and Kernighan, chairwoman of rules and legislation.

WHO: Alcohol kills someone every 10 seconds
Posted May 12th, 2014 @ 1:10pm by Kate Seamons, Newser Staff
(NEWSER) – The World Health Organization today released a new report on alcohol, and it's full of pretty dour stats. Among the most eye-grabbing ones, per the WHOand the AFP:
- Alcohol kills 3.3 million people worldwide each year.
- That's more than AIDS, tuberculosis, and violence—combined.
- That's equal to 5.9% of all deaths across the planet, or more than one in 20.
- "This actually translates into one death every 10 seconds," says a WHO rep.

So with the upcoming 2012 race season fast approaching, it is time to start looking at bicycle parts selection and building up a new race bike, as my current bike is several years old and is a 26er. I have been riding and have done a few races on a 29er now, and it now seems that the 29er has finally come of age in the serious mountain bike scene. We have seen sales of 29ers outpace 26ers two to one lately, and even Europe is finally starting to take notice of the 29er. We have seen a few big name cross country racers win world titles on 29ers now, and the momentum behind the 29er seems unstoppable. My requirements for a 29er were that it be lightweight, that it be carbon fiber, that it be full suspension and that it have a suspension system that is very performance oriented with short stays and isolated from pedaling induced bobbing. I had narrowed it down to two frame designs, the Scott Spark 29er and the Niner Jet 9 RDO. Scott Bikes has been plauged with a reputation of availability issues on their high end bikes and it looks like 2012 will not be any different. Last year Scott introduced a nice carbon hardtail 29er, unfortunately most folks that wanted one couldn't get one because Scott didn't have the foresight to import enough bikes to fulfill the demand. So, as we got into December of 2011, it was becoming apparent that Scott was going to be having trouble with availability again.
Niner Bikes, with their newly patented, CVA suspension system on their all new carbon Jet 9 RDO was looking better and better the closer I looked. Niner Bikes CVA™ IS NOW PATENTED (U.S. PATENT NO. 7,934,739) CVA is an award-winning suspension design and now it is recognized with a US Patent. THE ONLY 29ER SPECIFIC SUSPENSION DESIGN CVA is the only suspension designed with 29ers in mind. For those seeking big wheels and CVA performance, Niner is the way to go – you won't find this design on other bikes.
So, we received the new Niner Jet 9 RDO the other day. The first thing I noticed is that the frame is much more pleasing in person than the photos I saw online. This frame is a work of art! The attention to detail is quite nice. The internal cable routing, titanium plate behind the chainrings, the anodized pivots are all quite appealing to the eye. We will be building this bike up as our 2012 project bike for the race season. We will be selecting bicycle parts that are focused on performance and lightweight, so stay tuned.

Funky Bitch cuts in on the recording and kind of sounds like its part of the sound check by the abrupt ending. Jim seems more like the proper opener as the boys get settled in. Guelah has a smooth groove to it, although Trey blows the lyrics before really tight Asse Festival and Fly sections. Llama was a little sloppy early on, but finished off well. My Friend is nice to hear, and the intro is getting tighter every time. Divided Sky was a little loose and had a few rough parts toward the end. The last two Wilson's have been crazy as this one goes all jazzy during an extended signal section. Uncle Pen was solid bluegrass up and down. Stash was nice tonight and had a great jam to it. Tela seemed like a great idea, but Page blew the lyrics and then the interlude to follow all but broke down. They did finish strong with Trey's solo. Oh Kee Pa was good into a silly, funky Suzy to close up an average first set.
The Curtain was pumping to get second set off to a good start. Fishman jumps right into the Tweezer groove for a great transition with Trey. The great jam that was happening was overshadowed by a bad cable connection somewhere making the left channel sound very distorted. This was fixed as Trey took them into a mellow Horse. Silent took a bit to get off the ground, but Page brought them through alright. My Sweet One is the next ripping bluegrass call of the night complete with the Big Ball Jam. Trey mellows it back out with a very nice FEFY. Fish then leads them right into one of the finest live ATR's I've ever heard. Mike's Song gets really weird with all the teases of various songs and actual stops in there too. Culminating into a pretty well played and fast Hydrogen. Mike takes his time properly teasing Blue Bayou before his Weekapaug intro solo. Weekapaug is way up tempo tonight and pretty solid. Page takes us right into HYHU and then Trey announces they will do the slowest Terrapin, and boy do they ever. Wow! Nice trombone solo from "Tubbs". Coil is very solid tonight and also up tempo. A great Page solo ends and Trey sums it up with a rocking Tweeprise. Second set gets the nod tonight.
I can't really tell what exactly went on, but it seems the second Big Ball Jam may have been impromptu while trying to quiet the crowd before Carolina. It sounded like a lot of fun. The Rocky Top to follow is the absolute fastest I've ever heard to date. I know there are many out there, but this one has got to be a contender.
The better second set bumps this one up to at least four stars, but the blown lyrics and sloppy stuff leave it at that. Really fun sounding show.

Pause (pôz) intj. 1. An interjection used to acknowledge or clarify an unintentional erotic, or homo-erotic, double-entendre. Not to be confused with its popular heterosexual counterpart "That's What She Said."
Sure, we've all put a foot in our mouth*. It happens, no biggie*. But for some reason, straight rappers—despite all their uber-masculine machismo—seem to be especially prone to slips of the tongue*.
So, for your pleasure* (and ours*), team Complex put our heads together* and dug into the annals* of rap to find the 69* greatest lyrical boners* buried in hip-hop history, retroactively relieving these MCs* from any sensual scrutiny*. For more penetrating* insight, we propositioned* the Twitter sensations known as Pause Police to get behind us* and give us a hand* by issuing stiff* sentences to each MC (Click here to buy Pause Police T-shirts and stickers*, kids!). Read on to find out which rappers are on top*, which ones are on bottom*, and who's in pole position*. We went hard*, so savor our package!*
"Baby boy, go hire a squadron / My crib got more poles than a fire department."
-Cam'ron "Cookies & Apple Juice"
COMPLEX SAYS: Cam's on fire! Quick, somebody douse him!
*Officer Nohomo Note: Cam is the O.G of Pause, nohomo, so he has Diplomatic immunity
"I should have blown this mic like I said I might / Got the force of 20 men like a Jedi Knight."

"Dick suckin' lips, why won't you let the late great veteran live?"
