/ USDA Open
Transparency, collaboration and participation with all stakeholders are essential to successful engagement with and service provided to the public. The Open Gov Initiative charged us to transform how government interacts with the public to be more open, transparent & collaborative.
In 2012, the USDA commemorates the 150th anniversary of our founding in 1862, when President Abraham Lincoln signed into law an act of Congress establishing the United States Department of Agriculture, referred to as the "The People's Department." Although only about 2 percent of Americans today live on a farm, our work on food, agriculture, economic development, science, natural resource conservation and a host of issues still touches the lives of every American, every day, fulfilling Lincoln's vision even today.
Published June 02, 2014, the USDA Open Government Plan 3.0 Update (PDF, 426KB) is a major revision, and departs substantially from Plans 1.0 through 2.0. The OGP v 3.0 follows the structure and substance as outlined in White House/Office of Science and Technology Policy guidance referenced by memorandum (Feb. 24, 2014) and supplemental guidance. Appendix A: USDA Open Government Program Schedule (OGP v2.0 Close) provides final status to all preceding Open Government implementation milestones as seen in Plans 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0. USDA will create a new program schedule and report progress on Plan 3.0 milestones with the first requested progress report.

Data Sets
USDA has published many datasets to enhance transparency, increase responsiveness and stimulate economic opportunities with our stakeholders.
Through the USDA's Data Stewardship Working Group, the Department continues to identify new datasets for public release, or enhancements to those that are already available.
Dozens of published datasets have been deemed high-value and remain popular among the public, including:

Regulation Reform
President Obama outlined his plan to create a 21st-century regulatory system - one that protects public health and welfare while promoting economic growth, innovation, competitiveness, and job creation. Among other things, his Executive Order on Regulation said the following: Always consider costs and reduce burdens for American businesses and consumers when developing rules; expand opportunities for public participation and public comment; simplify rules; promote freedom of choice; and ensure that regulations are driven by real science.
The President also called for an unprecedented government-wide review of regulations already on the books. As a result of that review, more than two dozen agencies identified initiatives to reduce burdens and save money.
Agencies shall regularly report on the status of their retrospective review efforts to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA). Agency reports should describe past progress, anticipated accomplishments, and proposed timelines for relevant actions, with an emphasis on high-priority reforms.

Artist Damien Hirst is parting company with the world's richest gallery, Gagosian, in a move that will stun art lovers.
New York-based Larry Gagosian has built up an empire of 12 art galleries, including his latest at the Le Bourget business airport in Paris, and represented Mr Hirst for the past 17 years.
Gagosian's turnover was estimated at $925m this year by Forbes magazine. Mr Hirst is the world's wealthiest artist, with a fortune of £215m, according to The Sunday Times rich list.
Mr Hirst's company, Science Ltd, said that "Larry Gagosian and Damien have reached an amicable decision to part company", adding that the artist would continue his relationship with a second gallery, White Cube, in London.
Gagosian issued a statement, saying: "It has been a great honour to work with Damien over the last 17 years culminating with the worldwide showing of the Complete Spot Paintings 1986-2011 at all 11 Gagosian galleries this year . . . We wish him continued success for the future."
Another of the gallery's highly bankable superstars, Jeff Koons, will be holding a show at a rival gallery, David Zwirner, in New York in May, although Mr Koons has not said that he is leaving Gagosian.
As well as his long series of spot paintings – there are thought to be more than 1,000 in existence – the flamboyant Mr Hirst is best known for his shark in formaldehyde, "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" (1991), which hedge-fund mogul Steve Cohen bought for $12m in 2005.
While Gagosian does not reveal prices, larger spot paintings have sold at auction at prices ranging from £650,000 to £1.2m. "It was a perfect meeting of the market and the artist and a brilliant experiment in mass branding," said Cristina Ruiz, editor at large for The Art Newspaper.
"Now the question is, who will represent Hirst in New York? He certainly needs a dealer there."
Hirst is also known for producing "For the Love of God", a real human skull studded with 8,601 diamonds.
It was put up for sale at £50m in 2007 and acquired by a consortium of investors that included Mr Hirst, his business manager Frank Dunphy and White Cube owner Jay Jopling.
Mr Dunphy, who has since retired, also masterminded the sale of 218 works by Mr Hirst through Sotheby's in September 2008.
In bypassing both Gagosian and White Cube, Mr Hirst broke with the art market convention of selling only through representative galleries. Despite coinciding with the fall of Lehman Brothers, the auction raised a reported £111m.
While the auction market for Mr Hirst's work has dipped significantly since then, he continues to enjoy appeal in new markets such as Hong Kong.

- More details, including tally by county, at interactive map.
• Prop. 31, budget process: no
• Prop. 32, political contributions: no
• Prop. 33, auto insurance: no
• Prop. 34, repeal death penalty: no
• Prop. 35, human trafficking: yes
• Prop. 36, change three-strikes: yes
• Prop. 37, food labeling: no
• Prop. 38, taxes: no
• Prop. 39, business tax: yes
• Prop. 40, redistricting: yes
The statewide ballot initiative to label genetically engineered food known as Proposition 37 was soundly defeated on Election Day but drew strong support along California's liberal coast.
While trounced by voters statewide 53 percent to 47 percent, the measure was endorsed by more than 65 percent of voters in San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Humboldt counties. It was rejected in nearly all of the more conservative inland counties, including the state's agricultural center of Fresno, Kern, Kings and Tulare counties. In Fresno County, 63.6 percent voted no while 36.4 percent voted yes. The measure won in farm-heavy Imperial County and the Sierra Nevada mountain counties of Mono and Alpine.
The geographic divide highlighted the challenges that Proposition 37 had reaching and appealing to voters in more rural and conservative parts of the state, particularly in counties where agriculture is a huge part of the local economy.
"This is a story about money," Stacy Malkan, media director of the Proposition 37 campaign, said Wednesday. "Our loss had to do with being outspent. We didn't have the funds to compete on the air in the central regions of the state."
Kathy Fairbanks, a spokeswoman for the No on 37 campaign, said Wednesday that initiative supporters underestimated the views of California farmers.
"We had the overwhelming majority of groups representing family farmers and those who depend on California's agriculture industry," Fairbanks said. "They didn't like that Prop. 37 would have put family farmers in California at a competitive disadvantage."
Supporters of Proposition 37 said Wednesday that efforts to require labels on genetically modified foods are now shifting to other states. Signature gathering is under way for a similar ballot initiative in Washington state in November 2013, along with legislative efforts to require labeling in Connecticut and Vermont.
A petition effort is also under way to get the federal Food and Drug Administration to take up the issue of labeling. There will also be renewed pressure on President Barack Obama in his second term to support labeling.
In a postelection conference call with journalists Wednesday, the Yes on Proposition 37/California Right to Know campaign said the election results, while disappointing, were not surprising given the $46 million raised by the No side.
St. Louis-based Monsanto, a leading maker of genetically engineered seeds, was the largest single contributor with $8.1 million. The Yes side raised $9.2 million, with the largest contribution coming from Joseph Mercola, a popular holistic health activist from Illinois.
"We fought Monsanto and DuPont to a standstill last night," said Dave Murphy, executive director of Food Democracy Now. "More than 4 million Californians are on record saying they want to know what's in their food. This is a dynamic moment for the food movement."

After some 40 years in the music business, Stevie Nicks is still going her own way.
"I don't like being told what to do," Nicks says in the new documentary about the making of "In Your Dreams," her first solo studio album since 2001.
Nicks is definitely presented as a rebel with a cause in the anything but impartial "In Your Dreams -- Stevie Nicks." Every single frame of this film shows the Fleetwood Mac singer in a flattering light, which might be exactly how many of her adoring fans want to see the famed "Gold Dust Woman." What else would you expect from a documentary about Nicks that was codirected and co-executive produced by the star herself?
While the film feels overly sanitized -- coming across like a self-portrait of a very guarded artist -- there are certainly other selling points. It's often interesting to see Nicks at work in the studio and gain some insight to her songwriting. Even better, however, is the chance to see her main collaborator on this album (and the co-director of the film), Dave Stewart, play guitar. "I'm watching greatness here," Nicks remarks after one of Stewarts' glistening leads. On that point, I'm in complete agreement.
"In Your Dreams" screens April 2 at the Embarcadero Center Cinema in S.F. and the Piedmont Theatre in Oakland (www.landmarktheatres.com).

As Joe said, "look at that, all the money is on the front line."
And this is a Cat 4 race. 2 aluminum wheels in the front of the starting line, 3 in the second row, and mostly aluminum in the 3rd.
As Joe said, "look at that, all the money is on the front line."
And this is a Cat 4 race. 2 aluminum wheels in the front of the starting line, 3 in the second row, and mostly aluminum in the 3rd.
I can't help but think this is a bit excessive, especially in a Cat 4 race where paceline manners aren't as good yet and all it'd take is a little sidewind to overcome someone's novice bike handling…
Either that or you have a lot of sandbagging going on.
Upper category racers will often NOT race their good wheels in a crit to not break them. Not a lot of sand bagging in that race; there was a crash each lap and about 7 groups after lap one.
I am not a racer and know no racers myself, and am thus ignorant of the customs. But I can't help but assume that using expensive components at a middling level of competition is more about being a Proud Peacock than actual performance.
I would imagine a very skilled rider could take my current "fast bike," a 26 year old steel frame hung largely with 25+ year old Suntour equipment and assembled in total for about $300, and win or do at least very well. In the modern age equipment is assumed to provide or replace skill, but of course bike racing is fundamentally about the body and not the machine.
I also think this is part of the reason why roadies are consistently denigrated by non-roadies. Riding bikes like these at a Cat4 race is pretty ridiculous to non-club members.
Same thing with recreational cyclists. Ever been at a charity ride? Those are absolutely races and some of the most competitive riding we've seen. These guys are living the sports fantasy of racing and riding what the pros ride because they can and what's wrong with that? I'm sure that's consistent across sports where the amateurs at the local level have better equipment than the pros. Golfing? Triathletes too.
What Non-roadies do you mean? Commuters have as much gear, but spent on jackets and booties, and so do Mtn. bikers. Non-club rides race each other everyday out on the roads. They just don't pin a number on or wear matching outfits.
25yr old Suntour?
The more technical the crit, the more the lack of integrated controls will be a decisive handicap. The last time I saw downtube shifters place in a cat4 crit was 1998, Coconut Grove Miami.
This is why, when I took up racing on a dare last year, I went straight to short-track xc mountain biking and cyclocross, and I did it all on an old singlespeed mountain bike I'd cobbled together from parts. I finished last or near-last in every race—woefully out of shape and racing women half my age—but I got SO much love from the crowd (and the male racers!) for racing singlespeed that I've decided it's the only racing I'll ever do. Yeah, there's bling there too if you want it, but it never gets quite as ridiculous—or as pretentious—as in the above picture.
Cross is a good scene and we cover that too and they spend just as much on gear… Carbon tubulars I'm sure are seen there on the start line. Difference in Cross is the camaraderie and courses that permit a racer to finish without a lone lap of shame. You're likely projecting your own concerns on this race. There wasn't much pretension or anymore than an elite level cross race and that's a lot to read from a photo of wheels. What cross is really good at is accepting new people with varying degrees of fitness.

HatsWhether it's sunny, cold, or rainy, a hat can offer a significant protection. In sun, a hat will protect you from the rays, keeping you cool and reducing your risk of sunburn. Cowboy hats are a fun way to stay covered, summer or winter. Of course baseball caps are often more than just protection; they give you a chance to express a bit of yourself – whimsically or seriously.
Planning on going out at night? Not to worry; we even have caps that light up with LEDs. You won't ever stumble on your way to the bathrooms again.
So, whether you want a fedora, an Ivy League cap, something with a touch of safari, or just a plain cotton crusher, we have you covered.

IBM's Slump One for the Record Books
If it weren't for IBM, the Dow would've been up by more than 100 points on Friday.
UPDATE: When the dust settled, Big Blue's shares finished down $17.15, or 8.3%, at $190, after the tech giant's quarterly results fell short of analysts' expectations. IBM's drop, alone, subtracted 131.70 points from the price-weighted Dow, which is more heavily swayed by components with larger stock prices (such as IBM) as opposed to smaller ones (such as Bank of America).
The Dow finished up 10 points, while both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Comp closed with bigger percentage gains. While the Dow suffered back-to-back days of losses on Wednesday and Thursday, it has still yet to incur three straight days of declines in 2013, its longest stretch ever to kick off a new year. That streak remains intact.
IBM suffered its biggest one-day dollar drop since October 18, 2000, and its largest percentage decline since April 15, 2005.
IBM's decline also wiped some $19 billion off its market capitalization, or roughly the equivalent of the the Gap's entire market cap. IBM's market cap stands at $211.8 billion, and remains in the top 10 of the S&P 500, lagging behind Exxon MobilApple and others.
Our colleagues George Stahl and Drew Fitzgerald offer more details about IBM's biggest drop in eight years.

LOS ANGELES -- Put the brooms away.
Though the Sharks tried to make a game of it late, the Los Angeles Kings skated away with a 6-3 victory Thursday night that prevented San Jose from sweeping its first-round playoff series for a second consecutive year.
Sharks coach Todd McLellan had talked before the game about his team's need to match the desperation that everybody knew would be coming from a Los Angeles team determined to avoid elimination.
That, he said after the loss, didn't turn out to be the problem.
"I thought we had some intensity to our game, and I thought we were as desperate as they were," McLellan said. "But we didn't execute anywhere near the way they did."
While McLellan made it clear he wasn't holding his goaltender responsible for giving the Kings life in the series, Los Angeles did chase goalie Antti Niemi from the game less than a minute into the third period.
By that time he had given up two goals to both Justin Williams and Marian Gaborik as well as one to Tyler Toffoli. Dustin Brown would score the Kings' final goal into an empty net.
At the other end of the ice, Los Angeles netminder Jonathan Quick had his best game of the series, making 36 saves while giving up goals to James Sheppard, Matt Nieto and Joe Pavelski.
Despite the loss, the Sharks said they felt they got what they needed out of the two games at the Staples Center and were already looking ahead to bringing their 3-1 series back to San Jose for Game 5 on Saturday.
"We came down here and did what we were supposed to do," captain Joe Thornton of the split the Sharks achieved. "Now we've got to go home and do our job."
Hoping to counter the size and strength of Thornton and Brent Burns on San Jose's top line, Kings coach Darryl Sutter moved captain Brown up alongside Anze Kopitar and Gaborik on Los Angeles' top line.
The move paid off early and often.
The Sharks fell behind at 4:08 of the first period when Brown fired the puck from the right side boards and the rebound went to Gaborik, who gave the Kings a 1-0 lead.
That held up until the final 20 seconds of the opening period when rookie Tomas Hertl fired a shot on Quick, then sent the rebound to Scott Hannan. Quick made the save on Hannan's shot, but Sheppard batted the rebound into the Kings net with 7.3 seconds left to tie the game 1-1.
To make room for Brown on the Kings' top line, Sutter moved Justin Williams to the third and in the second period, that worked, too.
With Raffi Torres in the penalty box, Williams scored his first goal of the postseason at 3:52 of the second period on a shot that Niemi stopped, then seemed to lose track of as the puck trickled under his pads.
San Jose got that one back at 8:25 when a shot by Patrick Marleau went off Quick's pads directly to Nieto, who chipped it into the Kings net and tied the game at 2-2.
The Sharks looked as if they might get their first lead of the night when Kings center Kyle Clifford went to the penalty box for roughing and Quick was caught out of position several times. Still, even when Pavelski had a wide-open net, the puck stayed out after hitting the stick of Brown.
"It happens quick," Pavelski said. "Bang-bang play, Burnzie keeps it alive. I know the net's wide open. Get good wood on it and it finds their blade and goes wide. It's frustrating."
The Kings took the lead for good when Williams got his second of the night at 16:07, and San Jose's deficit grew to 4-2 at 19:01 when the puck caromed to Toffoli and he fired it into the net before Niemi could recover his position.
Thirty-four seconds into the third period, the Kings made it 5-2 when Kopitar found Gaborik for a 23-foot wrist shot from the right faceoff circle. That ended Niemi's night, as McLellan found an opportunity to get backup Alex Stalock his first playoff experience.
Los Angeles appeared to take a 6-2 lead at 11:10, but the goal was disallowed as Kings forward Jarret Stoll was penalized for cross-checking Brad Stuart just before the puck arrived. And on the power play that followed, Pavelski scored to cut the lead to 5-3 at 11:36.
McLellan said he was most concerned about his team's play in front of its own net.
"When we go back to the goals, it's quite easy to pinpoint some of the mistakes that we made," he said, "and for us to have success moving forward, that has to get cleaned up quickly."

Young tree left at tiny park where 1 was stolen
Published: Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 11:19 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 11:19 a.m.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Was it remorse — or a tiny tree fairy? Portland parks officials say a Douglas Fir sapling resembling one stolen from a tiny Portland park has appeared at the 2-foot-diameter oasis.
Last week's theft captured the city's attention. On Wednesday, park staffers planted a replacement sapling to fill the hole left in the center of the park.
Parks officials say a passing driver posted a comment online Friday, noting that a young tree, roots and all, was lying on its side beside the replacement tree. The unidentified driver speculated that perhaps the "arborious criminal was feeling remorse."
Parks Director Mike Abbate says if the latest tree is healthy, it will be planted in another city park.
Even if the thief returned the tree, Sgt. Pete Simpson says police will continue their investigation. In his words, "Remorse does not mean 'case closed.' "
The tiny park lies in a median strip in downtown Portland near the Willamette River. It was established by newspaper columnist Dick Fagan in the 1940s and became an official city park in 1976.

Billy's Story
Billy Kaplan moved to Washington, DC in August, 2009 from Los Angeles to join AVODAH. As a Program Associate at Thurgood Marshall (TMA) Public Charter High School, he organizes a legal mentoring program, after school tutoring opportunities and serves as faculty advisor to the school's Anti-Defamation League peer training program.
When a group of ninth grade students approached me asking for help with their homework, I assumed they needed assistance with Algebra, Biology, or some other very typical facet of a generic ninth grade curriculum. When they told me they had chosen to research Judaism for their religion project, I couldn't help but let out a small chuckle. I came into this year hoping to struggle to find the nexus between Judaism and Social Justice, to ground my work at Thurgood Marshall Academy Public Charter High School (TMA) in my Jewish upbringing. Just like that, six freshmen had done it for me.
My intention in participating in AVODAH was not simply to locate specific snippets of Judaism's entrance into my work, but rather to be able to find such a link on a daily basis. Growing up, I was always engrained with the notion that being Jewish implies a commitment to justice and equality and that education is of paramount importance. In joining AVODAH to work at TMA, I believed I would be able to reflect on and mold my notions of Judaism as it pertains to these ideals, using experiences from my work. Of course, the links between Judaism and my own idealistic principles are not often as explicit as the example I reference above. I am certainly glad that they aren't. It is when I am forced to reflect on my more subtle daily interactions and experiences that I am able to find meaningful Jewish resonance in my work.
As faculty advisory for the school's Anti-Defamation League student group, arguably the most fulfilling of my many responsibilities, I am able to engage students in dialogue about effective ways of combating discrimination, bias and prejudice. I get the opportunity to explain to a group of dedicated students how the very organization that we are now a part of was founded nearly 100 years ago by Jewish progressives as a means to combat anti-Semitism. We confront issues that affect our communities, both those at school and at home, using a framework that is a direct result of my Jewish heritage. As I watch students delve into deep discussions of tolerance, equality and creating safe spaces for everyone, I feel proud to be part of a program like AVODAH, one that allows me to explore two aspects of my identity I had always hoped to. I always defined my Judaism in terms of the need to support those less fortunate and strive for a more just society. I never knew until this year, however, just how intertwined they truly are. AVODAH has helped me to see that Judaism and social justice are not two separate endeavors that can occasionally overlap, but really are, on many levels, congruous and directly related. I wholeheartedly believe that Judaism, at least my version of it, only exists if its tenets imply, urge and necessitate a striving for a more just world.

JEREMIE is a joint initiative of Andalusia's Regional Government, the European Commission and the European Investment Fund. The new funding will allow nLife Therapeutics to bring its compounds to the clinical trial stage and efficacy testing in humans. Launched in 2009 after successfully showing that siRNA therapeutics can be targeted to monoaminergic neurons in mice, nLife is pursuing treatments for Parkinson's Disease, Major Depression Disorder (MDD) and Morbid Obesity with its siRNAs.

Scripture: Matthew 6:31 So do not worry, saying "What shall we eat?" or "What shall we drink?" or "What shall we wear?"
32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Observation: Our Heavenly Father who created us knows we need "these things." People in the world go to great effort to obtain "these things." Here we are instructed to put our efforts on the priorities of God's structure of authority and doing things right. When we do that, God will provide the "these things" we need.
Application: God has been faithful in providing what I need. I have no reason to believe He is going to stop. I want Him to have no reason to believe that I will stop seeking first His kingdom.
Prayer: Lord, you know what I need and I thank you for your faithful provision! Amen

VAIL, Colorado - The town of Vail's Commission on Special Events is changing the way it allocates funds to event producers in 2013 by making event producers more accountable.
The Commission on Special Events and the Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council met last Thursday to talk about the commission's $768,500 budget for 2013, which will help fund nearly 30 special events in Vail. Some events that received funding in 2012, such as the Tour of Vail cycling event, the Vail "Living Well" Summit and the Season of Song, are not getting funding from the commission next year.
The commission is no longer going to write checks and simply wait for the recap of an event's success, said Kelli McDonald, the town of Vail's economic development director.
"There's more direction (now) from the (commission) on where the money goes. Now we're going to say we want this money directed to marketing or to a new event," she said. "There's more oversight and certainly more strategy now on how that money is allocated and ultimately how it's used."
The discussion centered around the marketing of events in the town of Vail. Some events that seemed like they should have been home runs failed to deliver last year. Some of those failures could be the result of the commission not helping, said Jenn Bruno, a commission board member.
"The (commission's) approach for funding now is not as sponsors, but as partners," Bruno said. "We're setting a framework this year to make sure we have optimal success for each event. ... We want to make each event better. We realize there are many events that haven't reached their potential."
The Soul Music Festival, for example, is an event with great talent that was sparsely attended, said Adam Sutner, who is working as a consultant for the commission.
"Everyone agrees it's a great product and idea, but it was marginally executed," Sutner said. "We're going back to them with a fairly blunt stipulation that they work more closely with us from a marketing standpoint."
The Tour of Vail was a first-time event last summer that the commission has decided not to fund again in 2013. The commission is focusing on the USA Pro Cycling Challenge, instead, and is holding out hope that a Vail stage of that race returns in 2013, Sutner said.
The commission also wants to allocate money to pay a marketing liaison - a town employee who could spend roughly 15 hours a week in order to be the town contact that can help coordinate event promotion with event producers. Town of Vail special events coordinator Sybill Navas said the town hasn't increased staff since about 2001 while the events calendar has "grown astronomically."
The Vail Town Council is expected to make the final decision on the commission's budget at its Dec. 4 meeting. In the mean time, the commission asked that the advisory council write a letter endorsing the commission's budget to the town council.
Beth Slifer, of the advisory council, told the commission that its new strategy looks promising.
"It sounds like you're starting to create structure to help (event producers)," Slifer said. "Thank you. We're all impressed, we really are. This is awesome."

Take it easy this holiday season by getting your Nutcracker fix close to home.
Livermore and San Ramon Valley each will offer their own versions of the holiday classic for folks to enjoy in December.
"I would encourage everybody to see it. It's a magical production," Livermore Mayor John Marchand said of his city's production. "It's a first-class production. The Bankhead (Theater) is a beautiful place to see it in. It's so much easier to see it here in Livermore than to fight your way over the bridge. In 10 minutes, you can be back home in bed, and you don't have to deal with the traffic."
Marchand boasts not just because he's proud of the arts in his city, but because he's fortunate enough to have a small part in this year's production. He proudly plays Father No. 4, exercising the theater skills he first honed when he did musical theater in college.
"It's fun to get back onto the stage," Marchand said. "I love live theater. There's this wonderful dynamic between the audience and the players. That's where the real magic occurs."
Livermore's full-blown Nutcracker is performed by the Valley Dance Theater, which bills itself as the Tri-Valley's premier ballet company, and the Livermore-Amador Symphony. The production features dozens of local dancers of all ages who skillfully perform the Tchaikovsky classic.
"Our Nutcracker is unique in that we're one of the few companies that does a full Nutcracker with no professional dancers," said Heather Whitley, a Lawrence Livermore Laboratory physicist who's in the production. "Every single dancer that you see on stage is either a kid who takes dance classes or an adult who's doing this in their spare time."
The personal touch of featuring all local performers makes the production feel more accessible, Whitley said. You might see a neighbor, co-worker or your kid's classmate on stage.
"It's not just about the ballet technique," she said. "There's so much more going on. It has a different feel to it than you would get in San Francisco."
Whitley has been dancing since she was 10 years old. She took a break during her college years, but plunged back into dancing while doing graduate studies. She got involved with Valley Dance when she moved to Livermore in 2007.
While she has done other productions with Valley Dance, this is her first shot at "The Nutcracker." She plays four roles, including the key role of the Mouse King.
Whitley enjoys the concentration required in ballet because "I dance, and I forget about everything else because I have to focus on what I'm doing," she said. "It's a little different from running or taking a spin class when I'm thinking about work in the back of my mind."
While Livermore offers the full-blown Nutcracker, San Ramon Valley Dance Academy's "Impressions of the Nutcracker" offers a shorter, more fast-paced version of the traditional ballet.
"It's very family-friendly," said Holly Morrow, an academy teacher and director. "It follows the traditional story line of 'The Nutcracker,' but it incorporates a variety of dance styles. It takes all the best parts of Nutcracker and puts them forward. You get all of the exciting parts." The 75-minute show features a tap-dancing bear, a gymnastic harlequin doll and a mechanical ballerina.
The show has had many incarnations since the academy first started performing it 25 years ago for family and friends only. The popular show played at Danville's Village Theater for many years before a move to the new Dougherty Valley Performing Arts Center.
"The production had expanded and blossomed into what it is today," Morrow said. "It's beautiful. We have dancers from the ages of 4 to 64."
San Ramon Valley High School senior Sarah Koepp, 17, started in "The Nutcracker" with a bit part eight years ago before nabbing the prime role of Clara in 2007. This year, she has the highly coveted role of the Sugar Plum Fairy.
"I am very honored, especially because it's very rare to be Clara and move to Sugar Plum," she said. "They're both key roles. Everyone knows who they are in 'The Nutcracker.' I'm going to try to make it as magical as it can be."
The dance academy borrows costumes from a professional ballet company, so the production truly has a first-class feel, Koepp said.
"What I admire most is the costumes," she said. "It really shows that we can play professionally, but still have a low-key show for families who may not be able to afford going into San Francisco."
The San Ramon Valley show features a little something extra -- a visit from Santa at the end of each \performance.
"It's an all-in-one family event," Morrow said. "My 6-year-old was enthralled, and my 70-year-old father-in-law was amazed. Sometimes you forget you're watching children, especially with our advanced dancers."

I have been doing what I love best, perusing the internet looking for interesting blogs when I came across 'Notes from the Cookie Jar'.
This blog has lots of interesting information – in fact it was the first post I came across entitled Parents Bullying Survival Guide, that led me to investigate further into the blog. Lots of really good reading about a variety of subjects.
This led me to another blog also owned by 'Scattered Mom', named 'Chasing Tomatoes'.
And here I found recipes to truly whet the appetite.
The very first image of the Maple Ginger Glaze Salmon drew me in. Being a lover of Salmon, I am always on the lookout for interesting sauces to try out with it. But the intriguing part of this recipe is not only the yummy sauce but the novelty of cooking the salmon on a cedar plank. Scattered Mom states that using a cedar plank to cook the salmon on is generally something you would do on a barbecue, however she has adapted the recipe so that you can cook it using the plank in the oven.
Another yummy recipe is the Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins these look and sound delicious. The food photos on Chasing Tomatoes really invite you to get into the kitchen and start cooking.
We are always looking for healthy alternatives to eating and followed Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution shows plus his 30 minute meals program. Everything Jamie does is aimed at promoting healthy eating habits by using fresh produce.
Well Scattered Mom is part of the Jamie Oliver Food Revolution, rating a mention from Jamie Oliver on Twitter and a mention in his newsletter video for Food Revolution Fridays and Food Revolution Road Trip.
Believe me, you will find lots to interest you on both blogs. And you can join Jamie Oliver's food revolution and set your family on the path to better health through healthy eating.

SAN ANDREAS - A Sacramento motorcyclist died late Monday after he steered his Harley-Davidson across the center line of Lime Creek Road and into the path of a car, the California Highway Patrol reported.
The CHP said that Calvin Scott, 49, was traveling east on Lime Creek Road just east of Highway 12 about 7:55 p.m. Monday when he crossed into the westbound lane, striking a 2001 Honda Civic driven by Michael Rice, 22, of Valley Springs.
The CHP reported that Scott was ejected from the motorcycle and landed in the middle of the roadway, suffering fatal injuries. Scott's helmet did not meet U.S. Department of Transportation standards, which may have contributed to the severity of his injuries, the CHP said.
Rice was wearing a seat belt and suffered only minor injuries. CHP officers said they determined, however, that Rice was intoxicated. He was arrested at the scene on suspicion of driving under the influence.

WOOD COUNTY TEXAS. This is the most westerly of the counties along the line of the Texas & Pacific Railway having extensive forests of pine timber. All of the county is heavily wooded but the eastern half contains the great pineries from which the supplies for the large number of saw mills are drawn. In the western half the forests partake more of the characteristics of the timber of the black land counties, further west. The general surface is more level than in the other woodland counties, though there is little material variation as to soils, climate, temperature, rainfall, or yield of crops per acre. A larger part of the area, which comprises 702 square miles, can, however, be profitably cultivated. There are about 50,000 acres, in 1,400 farms, under cultivation, producing annually a value about $600,000. The harvest generally consists of 10,000 to 11,000 bales of cotton, 400,000 bushels of corn, 50,000 bushels of oats, 30,000 bushels of sweet potatoes, 35,000 to 40,000 gallons of molasses, 6,000 tons of cotton seed, and orchard and garden products to the value of $35,000 $40,000. As in all of the woodland counties, the raising of live stock is part ordinary farming operations. The live stock in the county, in 1897, was valued at $220,301 and consisted of 5,744 horses and mules, 9,607 head of cattle, 1,211 head of sheep and goats, and 12,465 head of hogs.
The county was organized in 1850 and has 14,000 inhabitants, 3,000 of whom are residents of Mineola, the junction the Texas & Pacific Railway, the International & Great Northern Railway and the Missouri Kansas & Texas Railway; 500 of Quitman, the county seat; 400 of Winnsboro, and 250 of Hawkins, smaller trading points in the county. The assessed values of taxable property, in 1897, amounted to $2,695,113, of which $1,619,538 was assessed against real estate, $499,465 against railways, which have 49 23/100 miles of tracks in the county. The school census reports 3,870 children of school age, for whose education 61 houses are maintained and teachers are employed.
The industrial pursuits run mainly in the manufacture of lumber, railroad ties, shingles, etc., there being about 17 sawmills at work . The other enterprises, principally located at Mineola, consist of 81 mercantile establishments, 1 bank, 1 flour mill, 2 fire brick and tile factories, 1 cannery, 1 furniture factory, and the repair shops of the railways. Improved lands range in price from $5 to $25 per acre; unimproved $2 to $10 per acre.

Posting Question
Do any of you lads post on other message boards you'd recommend? Unfortunately this board seems to be slowly dying, and I'm getting to the point where I rarely come to see if anyone has anything to say as most days there are fewer and fewer posts. It's really a shame, because until Yahoo decided to cut all links to access the boards, we had quite a diverse community here posting various points of views.
Most other boards I've looked at are either moderated and you end up with only Reds all agreeing with each other but little healthy debate, or open boards that quickly descend into trolls trying to wind everyone one up, and again healthy debate, or diverse opinion just goes out the window.
I'd love to get some of the old posters to come back here, but as that does not look likely to happening wonder if there are any better options out there?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Dylan, do you have the link for that site, I lost it when I got a new laptop. I'd like to stick it out here if we can keep the threads coming and hopefully some more folks come back, but maybe another board would not be a bad idea if this one stays so quiet.
Not really, unless you want to get yourself involved with twitter, which can make your head spin, along with getting into some unsavoury discussions, profanities, and a bunch of insane idiocy..
To be honest, I think if us regulars just continue to come on here, it will come back to life. I've actually seen armchair post comments on Liverpool related articles where fans are able to comment, so I know he's out there, and I've also seen Ron as well. Colyn has made his way back, and I think some are just lying in the weeds, until we build up a thread to 15+ comments, like the existing one I just started..
Next time you see an interesting / or contentious article with Liverpool involved, check the comments below, and I'd bet you'll see at least 1 or 2 of our former posters, and you can urge them to come back here. For another option, I actually hold my own discussions with Reds from both sides of the pond in direct messages on Facebook, if you're a member and interested, we can always include you and anyone else here who'd like. Facebook is a cool way to do it, since you can see / learn about who you're actually interacting with on a more personal level...

probably the best way is to get a link out there to those people. The reason I got lost was the link via Yahoo disappeared and search engines wont find it either.

anaheim13 wrote: It can be considered bad poetry. Paradise Lost by Milton doesn't rhyme - it's in blank verse. Poetry has to do with metrical variations and the alignment of assonant and dissonant phonetical constructions to enforce the point being made, just to start with. I have a serious problem with most contemporary poetry because it lacks, well, skill. It's like someone rips out a page of their journal and decides to read it at Diedrich's. Poetry goes all the way back to Ancient Greece - one of the first known being Homer. There is a history of it, and today that history is not being acknowledged for sociopolitical reasons particuarly by University of California institutions. I'm of the school of thought that if you want to call it poetry, then sure, go ahead. But be prepared to have it compared to the greats - Shakespeare, Milton, Keats, Donne, Shelley, Byron, Pope, Johnson, Blake etc... Then it is bad poetry. And bad poetry sucks and should not be in existence. So if you want to call it a song, lyric, rap, whatever, do it within that medium unless you really think it can compare to what goes on in real poetry.. Real poetry uses language in a way that is the most compact and meaningful arrangment possible.
If poetry is nothing more than a way to express yourself, then I've been wasting the last few years of my life. This is a minor point to most people I'm sure, but one of the reasons most people can't appreciate poetry is because they don't even know what it is. It's either rap music, Jim Morrison's lyrics or Sylvia Plath. All shit in terms of poetry. Unless you're able to defend rap music by showing that it has the same value as something by Milton or Keats, then don't call it poetry.
a post i came across...anybody have any comments? (when the person says "it can be considered bad poetry," theyre not talking about rap in general, but replying to someones post).

I dont see any asians, American Indians, Africans . . . have they all always been inept in the art of poetry?
Furthermore, none of these poets were considered "great" until they were no longer writing, they had to contend with the more forgetable poets of their time. That poem by Reggie Gibson comes to mind - the one where he responds to the professor's claim that poetry is merely "the sum of its parts."
None of these greats were beyond the common flaws of their generation. Shakespeare wrote some vewry formulaic, borrowed plays, and I will go on record to say that his sonnets are overrated (bring the hate). Shelly preached an ideal of love that he did not even pretend to live up to. Keats was ridiculed by Byron, who was petty enough to blast anyone who wrote differently than he. and Blake was a spiritual snob. Shelly would shit down this loser's throat, because the criticism he gives today's poetry, elitist critics gave to Romantic poetry, which he refuts in his "defense of poetry".
but he got one thing right . . . he has wasted his life. and it doesnt mean shit to me. this generation will have its great poets, just like every generation before. the use of rhyme and bar patterns in rap is no different than the iambic pentameter fad of Elizebethian poetry.

"Dancing With the Stars" (8 p.m., ABC):
OK, so they were pretty darn good on frozen water, but how will Olympic ice dancing champs Charlie White and Meryl Davis fare without their skates -- and each other -- as they compete separately in the ballroom? That's one of the key questions going into the 18th season of this sequin-studded reality show. And here's another: Will we embrace Erin Andrews, who replaces Brooke Burke-Charvet as Tom Bergeron's new co-host? (For recaps of the show, go to www.mercurynews.com/tv).
"Dallas" (9 p.m., TNT):
There's a nostalgic vibe to tonight's episode as Lucy, Ray and Afton (Charlene Tilton, Steve Kanaly and Audrey Landers) return to Southfork for John Ross and Pamela's (Josh Henderson and Julie Gonzalo) wedding. Our prediction? Drama.
"Brain Games" (9 p.m., National Geographic): This addictive show continues to mess with our heads. In the midseason finale, Jason demonstrates how humans are just natural copycats as much of our everyday behavior is influenced by mimicking others. In other words: monkey see, money do.

"Individuals are all unique but often hard to distinguish especially in snowboarding where trends come and go bringing with them those that follow. Danny Larsen is original, sticking to his Norwegian roots which just so happens to be incredibly interesting." – Peter Mullenbach (K2 Team Manager)
To be honest, I don't really think black metal inspires my snowboarding more than other things I like. But still it is clearly connected. People see snowboarding in a different way, for some it's a sport, others a lifestyle and for me it's mainly a feeling. To be able to see and ride what others don't see. To flow with your surroundings, break the pattern, do what's natural and at the same time come up with something unexpected. Mix in a dark atmosphere and you pretty much have how I experience black metal. To boil it down, snowboarding and black metal are just two sides of me that sometimes look a like.
