Californians One Step Closer to Voting on Six State Split
Californians may get the chance to vote on whether to split their state into six new states in 2016, if a Silicon Valley businessman gets his way.
The "Six Californias" campaign, funded by venture capitalist Tim Draper, got a step closer to securing a spot on the 2016 ballot on Tuesday. The group said in a statement that it had gathered the necessary number of signatures to qualify the measure for the 2016 election.
Mr. Draper has made the argument that California is an ungovernable monopoly, and should be divided up into segments, a so-called reboot. In campaign literature, and in public forums, Mr. Draper cites the loss of jobs, an unresponsive government, and a slide in the performance of public schools as a reason for promoting his six-state solution, which he said is based in his experience with private industry.
"I think that the best way for us to operate, is one that's very much similar to what I see in the venture capital business: to create start-ups," Mr. Draper said, during a recent forum with San Francisco's Commonwealth Club. "Start-ups that will compete with each other for us, allow each of these states to do for us whatever we are trying to get them to do, and allow them to give us a choice."

Secessionist views have long been part of California history, and rivalries have long existed between Northern and Southern California. The economic and political divide between California's wealthier, coastal regions and inland areas to the east has also been the subject of more recent discussions among academics and economists in the state.
A statewide poll by the Field Research Corporation last December, asking about proposals by certain Northern counties to secede, found that only one in four voters backed the idea. Splitting up California would also require U.S. Congressional approval.
California's political establishment is taking the threat of dividing up the state seriously. A campaign in opposition to Mr. Draper's group, OneCalifornia, has been formed by Steven Maviglio, the former press secretary for Democratic Gov. Gray Davis, and Joseph Rodota, a cabinet secretary under former Republican Gov. Pete Wilson.
"This is a colossal and divisive waste of time, energy, and money that will hurt the California brand, our ability to attract business and jobs, and move our state forward together," said Mr. Maviglio in a statement. "It's unfortunate that Mr. Draper is putting his millions into this effort to split up our state rather than help us face our challenges."
The measure would break up California to include these regions: "Jefferson" to the north; "North California" including the state's current capital, Sacramento; "Central California" including much of the state's agricultural valley; "Silicon Valley" including San Francisco, San Jose and much of the central coastline; "West California," including Los Angeles; and "South California," including San Diego and much of the sprawling Inland Empire east of Southern California's coastal cities.

Grass reappears at GABP on Turf Day
Park's turf now thinks it's April
UPDATED 5:57 PM EST Mar 08, 2013
Cincinnati is a little bit greener Friday.
That's because Friday was Turf Day at Great American Ball Park, the day when head groundskeeper Doug Gallant and his staff remove the grow blanket from the infield and outfield grass.
Photos: Turf Day!
Installed in February, the purpose of the grow blanket is to insulate the grass for about a month and raise the temperature of the soil and roots, fooling the grass into thinking it's later in the springtime.
As a result, the grass thinks it's April and not March, which means the field is already as green as can be.

French President Hollande Is No Twitter Addict
French President François Hollande arrives in Silicon Valley Wednesday with a mission to correct "misunderstandings" about France and profess his country's love of innovation and startups.
But that doesn't mean Hollande is himself an Internet aficionado, reports French newspaper Le Parisien on Wednesday.
"I look when they show me," the paper quotes Hollande saying about Twitter. "There's an addictive side to all that stuff that you need to defend against."
"On the Internet, who's to say what's true? The worst are the personal attacks," Hollande adds, according to the paper. Asked if he uses Snapchat, Hollande replies: "Um, Snapchat? No, not yet."
Hollande has a full day planned Wednesday, including a meeting with California political leaders, a speech before French entrepreneurs in the Valley, and 12:30 p.m. lunch with a coterie of tech execs scheduled to be present — including Google's Eric Schmidt, Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg, Jack Dorsey of Twitter and Square, and Tony Fadell, founder of recent Google acquisition Nest.
The conversation could get tense. Hollande and his government have lately been increasingly strident about the behavior of big Internet companies in Europe-arguing that they don't pay enough taxes locally and don't show sufficient respect for European privacy norms.
But French officials have said Hollande's message is likely to be more about how France is open for business. French Tech Minister Fleur Pellerin, a big promoter of France's startup scene who is accompanying Hollande, reportedly said during the trip that the president "isn't coming to Silicon Valley to be a tax inspector."

Japan's Vinyl Junkies Ecstatic Over 'New Originals'
Amid the shifting trends and fads that underlie the year-end holiday shopping binge in Japan, one item commands enduring and dogged fascination among retired baby boomers and others by conjuring up an enthusiasm for jazz from decades past.
Jazz fans have taken to buying vinyl Blue Note records that almost exactly re-create original recordings dating back to the 1950s. Vinyl junkies are apparently obsessed with the otherwise obsolete pressing technology that re-creates the original look and feel of the records – even though originals they are not.
The Blue Note Premium Vinyl Reissue Series is the brainchild of Tokyo-based record retailer Disk Union and EMI Music Japan. Since October last year, they have released 36 titles from the storied Blue Note label's catalogue in limited editions of 1,000 each. The titles include albums by some of the legends of the genre, such as Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Bud Powell and Art Blakey.
Blue Note is considered one of jazz's most collectible labels. Original copies in mint condition of its 1500 and 4000 series from the 1950s and 1960s can fetch up to ¥100,000 ($1,180) in Japan, while a particularly prized John Coltrane recording can top ¥400,000. Japan Real Time has more.

NEWARK -- Now that an embattled school board member has resigned and another will not seek re-election, Ray Rodriguez is the next trustee that angry community members have set their sights on.
Rodriguez was one of two school board members served with recall papers nearly two weeks ago, as some Newark residents continue to blame him and other trustees for chasing away popular ex-Superintendent Dave Marken.
Gary Stadler resigned the next day, but Rodriguez says his role in the controversy has been misunderstood and he's not quitting.
Rodriguez said the recall move shocked him because public criticism of the board had centered on three trustees -- Stadler, Charlie Mensinger and Nancy Thomas.
"I was never involved in any of that at all," Rodriguez said. "It's kind of crazy, but that's where we are."
Some district employees last month had demanded Stadler's resignation, and told Mensinger and Thomas not seek re-election this fall. Mensinger has said he will not run but Thomas is seeking a fourth term. She is one of four candidates vying for two open board seats.
Rodriguez -- a candidate for mayor of Newark in the November election, -- says he will stay on the board and in the mayoral race.
Rodriguez said in an interview Friday that he had asked Marken to rescind his resignation.
But Jim Lola, a longtime Newark resident who is leading the recall campaign, said that Rodriguez ired Marken's supporters because he could have done much more to keep the superintendent on the job.
"Marken was moving the school district in such a good direction," Lola said, "And, now, with all the foolishness these guys (on the school board) have done, it is sliding."
Lola also points to an Aug. 9 meeting at the Silliman Center, when Rodriguez joined Stadler and Mensinger in rejecting Marken's offer to rescind his resignation. The board's five members refused at first to report how they voted and did so only after some had accused them of violating laws on open government.
"We believe (Rodriguez) has broken the Brown Act," Lola said.
Rodriguez, who participated in that meeting by phone, denies violating the state's open government laws. He also blames board President Nancy Thomas for not listening to his request to delay the vote on Marken's offer until after the trustees had interviewed superintendent candidate Donald Gill.
When Gill, Antioch's superintendent of schools, later withdrew from consideration, Newark's board promoted Tim Erwin as interim superintendent.
"If (Thomas) had not put Marken's offer to rescind on the same agenda (as the superintendent interview), then I would have voted to accept him rescinding at a later meeting and Marken would still have been our superintendent," Rodriguez said.
He also has said he might not have fully understood the issue when he voted to reject Marken's offer.
"When you're on a conference call, you don't always have the to and fro, so you miss a lot," Rodriguez said. "I might have lost something, so I asked for us to come back and have a further conversation about that in our next closed session."
Once Lola and the coalition of Newark parent groups leading the recall get the county registrar's OK, they will have 120 days to gather around 3,000 signatures on recall petitions. But they hope to submit the signatures much sooner to get it on the November ballot, Lola said.
"This is a grass-roots group of parents and some retirees in the community who are saying enough's enough," he said. "They're saying we're tired of this, and it's time to take back our schools."

Although the plays of Enda Walsh, 42, have not yet opened on Broadway, there's no doubt that he is fast securing his reputation in the U.S. as arguably the most accomplished Irish playwright of his generation.
Walsh's dark and challenging scripts aren't calculated to appeal to a very wide demographic, but they're winning a lot of public and critical attention nonetheless.
In 2008 Walsh's script for the Bobby Sands biopic "Hunger" was part of the creative partnership with director Steve McQueen that won them the coveted Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. The year before Walsh struck gold with the Cork-based comedy "The Walworth Farce," which won the Fringe First Award at Edinburgh and then played internationally to packed houses.
Walsh was back in town last week for the American premiere of his latest play "The New Electric Ballroom" (which has also won the Fringe First Award, two years in a row). The play, an edgy new shocker that stars some of Ireland's most celebrated actors, is a Druid Theatre production that Walsh directed, and since its premiere at the Druid Theatre in Galway the production has only grown in strength and focus.
This week Walsh is back in London moving house, talking to IrishCentral's sister publication the Irish Voice between the loading vans, last minute shopping and other interview requests. But just like the characters he writes about, Walsh is capable of remarkable concentration in the midst of flux, and it turns out to be the perfect way to talk to him about his challenging, quicksilver scripts.
"I do think it's a better play 'The Walworth Farce,'" Walsh said. I don't know how it works fully; the whole shape of it is sort of unusual structurally. And I don't know where the play is going a lot of the time. It still sort of surprises me, but I'm glad it's turned out the way it's turned out."
Walsh first came to prominence as a writer in 1998 when his play "Disco Pigs" became a huge hit in Ireland (it was later made into a film starring Cillian Murphy). Currently he's under commission for two films, an adaptation of his play "Chatroom" and a biopic about legendary English soul singer Dusty Springfield.
"I always feel when I'm writing as if I have all those great Irish writers around me and echoes of Irish plays, but my own work comes out the way they come out. There's a great big sort of blender that goes on and something new is formed," he says.
"It's something that I'm not at all conscious about. I sit down and attack my own anxieties and woeful need. From my point of view it's my fear of life. I flail between really enjoying things and really despairing of things. Not in a depressive way, but I do get really, really anxious about things. I can see all of that in the play."
Fear of the future, based on the painful experiences of the past, is a theme that is everywhere in Irish writing. Walsh thinks it may even reside in the Irish DNA. For Walsh's characters lived experience is quickly transformed into remembered story, so that it can somehow be contained and in some way neutered.
"Thank God I'm a playwright and I have access to getting this kind of thing worked out in a script. Everything my characters go through is the kind of thing I really really fear happening," he says.
"Living by patterns and routines with a bigger story hanging over you and not being able to live your own life because of it -- those are the things that everyone sort of feels on a daily basis."
In 2007 Susan Feldman, the artistic director of the St. Ann's Warehouse theater in Dumbo, visited Edinburgh and was electrified by Walsh's script. Right away she decided to invite the production to the U.S., and in the process she brought Walsh's work to an ideal audience -- New Yorkers who value challenging theater. Based on the rapturous reception that the play received Walsh's star ascended, and "The New Electric Ballroom" will cement his reputation.
"It's the job of the playwright to be sensitive the tiny things that might pass us by during the day and to annihilate them until they feel larger and they feel real. If I didn't have access to that expression I'd be dead I think," Walsh says.
Walsh is also preparing for the filming of "Chatroom," a movie targeted at a teenage demographic, which will be directed by "The Ring" director Hideo Nakata. Thereafter his film about legendary soul singer Springfield will go into production.
"She's quite an interesting character because she actually hated her own voice. That's a wonderful place to begin with," says Walsh.
"She's this Irish/Scottish girl living in Ealing, London and she loves black music and eventually loved black women -- she hated the color she was and her own voice. It's great music, and the approach of this film will quite different to the usual biopic."

Share your experiences with the 9/11 Heroes Run - Doylestown PA below Back to event details page.
This great cause represents an incredible opportunity. As we all know, a radical preacher in Florida is planning a Koran burning on 9/11. While this action is certainly a display of free speech, the collateral damage could be devastating - particularly to our brave troops.
General Patreaus, the Pentagon, and The Commander in Chief have all strongly discouraged the fanatical Koran burning for one unified reason: it is a clear and present danger to all Americans, especially our troops.
On Saturday night, the Heroes Run presents us with a great opportunity - to protect our Heroes who risk everything to protect us.
There is simply no greater way to support the mission of the Travis Manion Foundation than by calling on our fellow Americans to protect our nation's greatest men and women - those who risk their lives for the War of Terror.
We had a great time. This was the second year we ran this race and it is one we will continue to participate in year after year. The Travis Manion Foundation/Team Travis has lots of events around the country all year long and I have participated in others as well. What better cause could you think of than supporting the troops that support/protect us every day, and support their families. Great people, Great Cause, Great Event.
Oh, and by the way, lots of water, food, music, and beer. Nice t-shirt too! Mostly flat course, out and back, lots of shade.
This is a "NOT MISS" event. The whole family ran the Fun Run. We set a goal of running the 5K as a family next year (at our 9 year old's pace). Our 13 year old daughter was so moved that she'd like to do some sort of project with her school that continues even after she's moved on to high school and beyond.
See you next year.
This event was a lot fun and for such a great cause. I am proud to say that this was my second year participating, and I am planning to do it again next year. I only wish that they would post a map of the course so that people could have an idea of how the course will be before the race begins.
This was a blast and I am looking forward to next year!
They need to get better organized. The fun run was in the way of the 5K and the race went of late
Love the cause but would have paid more to have an actual time clock and not had to have waited in line to hand in my number. It seems a little crazy after running to stop cold and wait in a line. Also, I know they did not want people to be standing around near the finish line but waters should be available closer.
Putting side that this was for a good cause, we all know that, here are my thoughts. Very unorganized, the run should have started at 6-there weren't any mile markers or people telling times(even at the split would have been nice). A clock upon the finish and waters immediately being handed to the runners. I hated that it was an out and back, come on this is doylestown they could have done a nice circle. I know someone said it was flat but it was not, not that I minded but a course map would have been nice prior to the run, sometimes Active has that available.I would really have loved awards for all top 3 winners in different age groups not just the top three males/females, that to me is the challenge to these runs. My last complaint was that there were a bunch of young kids that were running as Team travis and they cut me off more than once almost tripping me. I don't think this is a run I will do again. Thanks for listening. Good luck next year runners!!!!
Definitely could be more organized, would have liked top three medal placements for each age category, great cause. I enjoyed the run, not the best course by far but the hill was a good challenge at the end.
The cause was good but agree with others regarding organization. Standing in line after finishing to turn my number in was rather annoying and hectic. Nonetheless, Doylestown is a great town to run a 5k in!

DOE's Argonne Laboratory Licenses Advanced Battery Cell Powering Chevy Volt
A lithium-ion battery replica is displayed in front of a Chevy Volt.
DOE's Argonne National Laboratory announced on January 6 that it has a licensing agreement with LG Chem, Ltd. to make and use Argonne's patented cathode material technology in lithium-ion battery cells. At the same time, it announced an agreement with General Motors Co., which will use the laboratory's composite cathode material to make advanced lithium-ion batteries. This technology is used in GM's Chevy Volt. The GM plug-in hybrid, delivered to its first customers in December, has an EPA estimated range of 35 miles on a full charge.
The lithium-ion battery technology, part of a suite funded by DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, offers a 50–100% increase in energy storage capacity over conventional cathode material, Argonne said. In addition, its lithium- and manganese-rich mixed-metal oxide combination extends the operating time between charges, increases the cell's longevity, and improves the safety of lithium-ion cells. Funding for the earlier stages of research and development of this technology was provided by DOE's Office of Science. See the Argonne National Laboratory press release and the GM press release.

This is an excerpt of On Assignment, education writer Theresa Harrington's blog on Contra Costa County schools. Read more and post comments at IBABuzz.com/onassignment. Follow her at Twitter.com/tunedtotheresa or Facebook.com/TheresaHarringtonBANG.
July 31
An incumbent former teacher who is a seasoned politician is running against a challenger known as an education reformer and political outsider in the race for state schools chief.
In interviews with the editorial board of this newspaper, state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson and his opponent, Marshall Tuck, revealed similarities and differences in their opinions about education issues.
On the topic of teacher tenure, Torlakson said he waiting to see the final judgment in the recent Vergara court case, in which a judge struck down California's teacher tenure laws, before deciding whether to appeal.
"We want the most highly qualified, excellent teachers in front of all of our students in all of their classes, so I am working diligently on different ways to accomplish that," he said. "At the same time, I want to make sure that the final judgment doesn't detrimentally affect our ability to recruit and retain our teachers."
Granting tenure after two years is reasonable if teacher-training programs provide hands-on classroom experience and if competent administrators provide adequate programs to mentor and evaluate teachers, along with peer reviews when they first become teachers, he said.
Tuck wholeheartedly supported the judge's decision and promised to drop any appeal the state files if he's elected. He said most people he's talked to in the state believe that tenure laws are not benefiting students.
"I think that kind of lack of leadership -- where it requires a lawsuit by students rather than true leadership by elected officials to really drive change that we know our kids need -- was a big challenge," he said.
After the lawsuit was filed, Tuck said the state superintendent of public instruction, whose job is to advocate for youngsters, should have been the first witness for the plaintiffs. After the ruling came out, Tuck said the state superintendent immediately should have begun working to fix the system.
Both men are passionate about improving education statewide. They agree that it's important to help charter schools succeed and to share best practices among teachers at all public schools. They also want to help schools involve parents in their children's education.
However, they have taken different paths to accomplish their goals.
Torlakson has worked as a teacher and legislator, collaborating with others to pass laws to benefit students. While in office, he has convened education leaders and others to create a Greatness By Design report focused on "supporting outstanding teaching to sustain a golden state"; A Blueprint for Great Schools report; No Child Left Offline report; and a report on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, or STEM. He has worked to implement Common Core standards that changed the ways teachers teach and students are taught, and the new Local Control Funding Formula, which shifts more money to schools with a high percentage of disadvantaged students.
"I'm determined. I'm a bulldog when it comes to getting things done," Torlakson said. "I'm a coalition builder. I'm a team builder. I'm a coach. I'm a teacher. I've done some good work by building strong teams."
Tuck, who started his career as an investment banker in his early 20s, later transitioned into running Green Dot charter schools, then working with the mayor of Los Angeles to turn around low-performing schools in the city.
"I jumped into education full-time in 2002. I made the decision that I wanted to spend my time and energy helping as many people have a better life as possible," he said. "(With the) combination of values I was raised with growing up, I decided, 'I'm jumping off the material success train and jumping on the helping people and better life train.' And to me, there's nothing better than education to do that."
Torlakson has strong backing from the California Teachers Association. Tuck says the voices of parents should be given more weight.
But, like Torlakson, Tuck said change can only happen if everyone comes together behind common goals.
"Without question," Tuck said, "to get to where California needs to get to -- which is everybody focused on a kids first agenda -- we're going to need everybody on the same team."

A jury has convicted a Kentucky woman of facilitation in the rape and murder of a University of Tennessee student in 2007.
The jury from Jackson on Tuesday found Vanessa Coleman of Lebanon, Ky., guilty on 13 of 17 charges in the death of 21-year-old Channon Christian.
Coleman was previously convicted in 2010 of facilitation in Christian's death, but a retrial was ordered for her and three other defendants after the trial judge in Knoxville acknowledged drug use during her trial.
In her first trial, Coleman was acquitted of any crimes committed against Christian's boyfriend, 23-year-old Christopher Newsom, who was raped and shot and his body set on fire.

Meatheads Opens 11th Unit on March 11 [1]
Read More About
Meatheads, a fast-casual restaurant that provides a full-service made-to-order dining experience serving high-quality, fresh, never-frozen ingredients, is opening its 11th restaurant in Elmhurst, Illinois, on Monday, March 11.
Members of the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce will join Meatheads in a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday at 10 a.m.
The first 1,000 people to register online will receive a free burger at the Elmhurst location. After signing up, the free burger certificate will be sent through e-mail.
Meatheads is an active community member in all cities that have a restaurant. All profits from soft-opening lunch and dinners will support the Elmhurts YMCA Youth Basketball League and the Elmhurst Baseball League.
In addition to donating proceeds from the opening, Meatheads operates the following charity programs:
- Meatheads of the Month recognizes exceptional local high school athletes who demonstrate determination, hustle, and hard work. Every month athletes from local high schools are selected to be nominees, the public votes, and once selected, the picture of the athlete is proudly displayed in a Meatheads store for the year.
- Voracious Reading Program is a summer reading program that encourages kids to read more books. More than 60,000 kids participated in 2012.
- Meathead of the Game is a program that celebrates young athletes in organized sports who choose to participate in real games, rather than play video games, and is designed to reward determination, hustle, and hard work in local youth athletes. In 2012, more than 50,000 kids participated.
Meatheads also offers nonprofit groups, schools, and other community organizations the opportunity to raise funds by having a fundraiser at a local Meatheads store.
In addition to serving 100 percent fresh, certified Angus beef, the menu also includes chicken tenders and chicken, grilled cheese, bacon, egg & cheese, BLT, and ALT (avocado, lettuce, tomato and mayo) sandwiches, as well as a New England–Style Hot Dog.
The menu has "Chef Inspired Burgers" such as the Patty Melt, NY Reuben, Cajun Sunrise, Californian, Texas Ranch, and Hawaiian. The french fries are made with Real Idaho potatoes; they are fresh-cut every day and cooked in 100 percent omega-rich canola oil, part of a 32-step process, cooked by a real chef to create a crispy texture.
There is no microwave on site, and the only item in the small freezer is ice cream for the hand-dipped milkshakes.

On Sunday, a 24-year-old Florida woman filed a police report that accused domestic abuser Chris Brown of "snatching" her iPhone from her outside of Miami's Cameo nightclub.
Christal Spann says she took out her phone to take a photo of Brown as he left the club when he suddenly grabbed it through his car window, told her "Bitch, you ain't going to put that on no website," and then drove off.
From the report [sic'd]:
[Spann] then retrieved her cell phone and approached [Brown] to take a picture. [Spann] stated that she took a picture of [Brown] while he was sitting inside of his vehicle. At this time [Spann] stated that [Brown] reached through his car window snatched her phone from her hands, and said "Bitch you aint going to put that on no website." After [Brown] took the phone he put his car window up and drove...
Domestic abuser Chris Brown: Still doing that awkward thing where he constantly reminds us how truly awful he is. Miami police are still investigating the incident, and no arrests or warrants have been made yet—but TMZ points out that if Brown is arrested, he could go to jail on a probation violation for that time he viciously beat Rihanna.

Biohit sells liquid handling business
Helsinki/Göttingen – Finnish laboratory supplier Biohit Oyj has sold its liquid handling business for €68m to German process and labtech provider Sartorius AG. Osmo Suovaniemi, founder and Chairman of the Board at Biohit, welcomed the acquisition: "We are very happy to have found a buyer in Sartorius, whose strategic objective is an excellent fit with our liquid handling business." The Finnish company will now concentrate on its diagnostics unit. According to Biohit, the GastroPanel – a stomach health test diagnosing Helicobacter pylori infections and atrophic gastritis – should be a key driver for the future growth. The company is also setting its hopes on its Acetium capsules, a product that has been developed to bind and inactivate carcinogenic acetaldehyde in an anacidic stomach. According to Biohit, exposure to acetaldehyde has been connected to around four million new cases of cancer every year worldwide.

NEW YORK CITY (The Huffington Post) -- It's sort of a Dungeons & Dragons for jocks. Fantasy football players (or "owners") draft their own teams from NFL rosters and compete head-to-head each week for the length of an NFL season.
On its own, fantasy football is a a $1 billion business powered by 24.3 million players, according to the Fantasy Sports Trade Association. And with buy-in often involved, attention to one's fantasy team—along with a lot of luck—could mean a lucrative payout to fantasy league members.
But how much time is spent managing fantasy teams when employees should be managing their real-life work?
After taking unemployment into account, Challenger, Gray & Christmas estimates that 22.3 million employed fantasy football owners spend at least an hour a week managing or tweaking their rosters—a conservative estimate. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, $19.33 is the average hourly wage, so that comes out to $430.9 million per week lost, or $6.5 billion across a 15-week fantasy season. Despite the cost of lost productivity, Challenger, Gray & Christmas swear the effects of fantasy football are merely a blip on the economic radar, noting the study is "non-scientific" and "very rough."
"Employers will not see any impact on their bottom line and, for the most part, business will proceed as usual," CEO John Challenger noted in the firm's blog post about the study. "However, even if the economic impact is faint, it is important to acknowledge fantasy football's overall impact as a societal and workplace phenomenon. Companies that embrace the growing popularity of this activity could actually see a positive impact, particularly in terms of employee sentiment and loyalty."
So let your fantasy football flag fly.

Chances are, when Facebook goes looking for an official Instagram theme song, Fat Joe's phone will not be ringing.
Then again, the Bronx-born rapper's latest joint, "Instagram That Hoe (ft. Rick Ross & Juicy J)," does have a certain misogynist charm to it that's hard to overlook.
A sample of lyrics courtesy of RapGenius:
Instagram that jet, Instagram these kicks
Bouve on my wristExplain, Instagram that bitch
Instagram that track, Instagram these racks
Fell up off that balcony ass, so fetch your bounce right back
I got hoes off of my water, bracelet all on my anckle
Fuck parole, that striperpole, I love them hoes to their anckle
Instagram that ho, Instagram her mama
Instagram that bitch on the top of the whip while she giving me knowledge
For the record, it doesn't look like Fat Joe practices what he preaches: 274 photos and not a single jet. (Plenty of hoes, though.)

I came across an awesome Montessori blog that has, among other things, a calendar system a lot like the one I just set up, the exact same play dough recipe we use, and a post about making her own butter. I want everyone to know that I am not copying her. She just happens to have some of my more awesome qualities. (wink, wink). Also, she takes better pictures. My camera sucks and I have no photography skills, and I am convinced that this is why I don't have thousands of followers, and not because I am abrasive and post only infrequently.
Get to the blog, already!
Counting Coconuts (CLICK HERE) has this going on:
Also, knitting, a nature table, arts and crafts, theme units, and a brand new delicious baby to coo over. I'd post a picture of the baby but that's really creepy to post pictures of strangers' babies on your blog.

Foster Kids Get Free State Park Passes
Published: Sunday, January 20, 2013 at 9:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 20, 2013 at 9:00 a.m.
TALLAHASSEE | The Department of Environmental Protection is joining with state child welfare officials to give thousands of foster kids free passes to state parks this year.
The agencies donated 15,000 state park passes for foster families to use in Florida's 171 state parks and trails in 2013.
Officials said learning about nature is a great way to strengthen families.
Department of Children and Families Secretary David Wilkins said he wants foster children to have the same experiences as other children including enjoying sports and other outdoor activities.
Last year, DCF created the "Fostering Florida's Future" initiative aimed at better recruiting foster parents. Part of the initiative provides normal activities to children in care so they can have the same experiences as any child.

As the summer wears on and the polls still show him far behind Gov. Jerry Brown, Neel Kashkari is running the most energetic and high-profile campaign for governor that money can't buy.
In 2010, billionaire Republican nominee Meg Whitman had sunk almost $91.1 million of her own fortune into her campaign by this point in the year, with another $53.1 million yet to come. Kashkari -- a former U.S. Treasury Department official and asset manager from Laguna Beach -- has taken about $2.1 million out of his own pocket so far. And with other cash just dribbling in, he's striving to get his message out on a shoestring.
He has hosted four radio shows since the primary, causing some political observers to wonder whether he's gunning to be the next Rush Limbaugh instead of the next governor. He crashed Brown's speech at a teachers union convention, highlighting the incumbent's cozy labor ties. He has challenged Brown to 10 debates and meetings, stumped with embattled New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, spoken at a libertarian tech conference and marched in San Diego's LGBT pride parade -- all with an "I'm a new kind of Republican" message.
A Public Policy Institute of California poll released Wednesday showed Brown favored by 52 percent of likely voters and Kashkari by 33 percent -- almost exactly the same as a Field poll found soon after the primary. So Kashkari strives on to convince voters that California, with its struggling public schools and by some measures the nation's highest poverty rate, isn't safe in Brown's hands for four more years.
"He's doing what I would do," said Edmond ¿Costantini, a UC Davis political science professor emeritus. "If you're trying to be prudent in terms of spending, it makes a lot of sense. You need to get your name out there, get people curious about you, and it seems the best strategy ... is to look for ways to get free media coverage."
But how long can Kashkari keep this up without being drowned out?
Brown has incumbency's bully pulpit and had $20.7 million banked for his campaign as of mid-May, while Kashkari had about $1.4 million, most of which he probably spent in the primary campaign's final weeks to cement his come-from-behind victory over tea party favorite Tim Donnelly.
As of Sunday, Kashkari had reported raising about $312,000 in big donations since the June 3 primary, including $54,400 from his parents. Brown, who hasn't run a single TV or radio ad this year, has raised about $349,000 since the primary.
Campaign spokeswoman Mary-Sarah Kinner said Kashkari was too busy last week to answer questions from this newspaper. But, she assured a reporter, he remains upbeat.
"There's no question the unions once again will provide the governor with whatever resources he needs to protect their status quo," she said. "But while (polls show) all voters know the governor, only half of them support his re-election. That proves he's vulnerable, and we are confident we will have the resources to communicate Neel's message to voters."
Unions definitely support Brown, but so do many big businesses. His post-primary contributors include Coca-Cola North America, PepsiCo Inc., CH2M Hill Inc., AstraZeneca, Novartis, Johnson & Johnson and Paramount Pictures.
Costantini said Brown typically sticks to an "even if you've got it, don't flaunt it" philosophy. "I don't think he's comfortable with spending, spending, spending, even if he's got it available and particularly if he doesn't need to."
Steve Boilard, executive director of the Center for California Studies at Cal State Sacramento, said "people aren't buying" Kashkari's claim that California's economy and schools are on the rocks.
"He's doing what he has to do, but I sure don't consider it a prescription for success," Boilard said. "I don't think he provides enough contrast to Jerry Brown, who already comes across as a fiscal conservative and a social liberal."
Since the primary, Kashkari has guest-hosted four radio talk shows in Sacramento, Fresno and Los Angeles, including the conservative John and Ken Show on KFI AM 640 in Los Angeles -- the nation's most-listened-to local talk radio program. "It's been a great opportunity to reach out to voters of all stripes," Kinner said.
But Boilard said "most of those talk show gigs are more preaching to the choir," noting that only 28 percent of California voters are Republicans. "It's good to hold onto your base, but I look at the independent voters as the place he has to move the needle -- and right now the independent voters are breaking toward Jerry Brown."
The PPIC poll found 80 percent of Democrats back Brown, while 70 percent of Republicans back Kashkari. Brown was leading among independents 52 percent to 28 percent.
The Federal Communications Commission's "equal-time rule" means Brown could demand airtime from the radio stations where Kashkari guest-hosted shows, said Jonathan Kotler, an attorney and associate professor in the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. "But I'd think the best strategy would be to ignore him (Kashkari), because there must be a lot of people out there like me who have never heard of the guy."
Asked whether the governor would seek equal time, Brown's campaign spokesman Dan Newman replied, "Unlikely -- he has a busy and demanding day job."

governor's race in social media
One low-budget way to get a campaign message out is through social media. Here's how Gov. Jerry Brown and Republican candidate Neel Kashkari stacked up as of Sunday:
Twitter -- Brown has 1.05 million followers, Kashkari 4,756
Facebook -- Brown has 157,928 likes, Kashkari 76,989
Instagram -- Brown doesn't use it; Kashkari has 400 followers
Google+ -- Brown has 1,197,068 followers, Kashkari 55

AUSTIN (January 22, 2013)—State Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, a key education leader in the Texas Senate, wants to overhaul high school graduation requirements and reduce by two thirds the number of standardized tests students must pass.
Seliger, who chairs the Senate Higher Education Committee, introduced a bill Tuesday that would scrap current graduation requirements mandating that students take four years each of math, science, English and social studies.
Instead, students would take four credits in English, three in math and social studies, and two in science and foreign language.
They would also have to take a fine arts credit and one in physical education as well as 10 elective credits.
Instead of 15 exams in core subjects, students would need to pass five tests in reading, Algebra I, U.S. history, writing and biology.

Though I am shamefully behind in blogging, reviewing, interviewing, and e-mail answering, nonetheless, I am not dead yet. Just busy in the midst of a few different things, especially trying to figure out how to teach anything to energetic 9th and 10th graders and, in the bits of spare time that allows, reading stories for the next edition of Best American Fantasy (thanks, by the way, to Rick Klaw for a very nice review in The Austin Chronicle).
Proof of my status as a living, breathing human being can be found at two upcoming public events in Manhattan. First, on October 30, I will be participating in the Interfictions reading at the wonderful McNally Robinson bookstore, with some of my favorite fellow-readers, Tempest Bradford, Veronica Schanoes, and Delia Sherman.
And then on November 21, I will be reading at the KGB Bar with Lucius Shepard. (I expect to read a story that will be coming out in the next issue [I think] of LCRW.) This is something I'm looking forward to tremendously, because Lucius Shepard's story "R&R" was the cover story of one of the first issues of Asimov's I ever read, and the story perplexed and bewildered me in just the right way (I was far too young to understand it all) that it helped make me a devoted reader not only of science fiction, but of contemporary short stories. I've been reading Shepard ever since, and some of his more recent work, especially Viator and Floater, are among my favorite novellas of the past decade or so. I've never gotten the chance to either meet him or hear him read, so my plan is to read as quickly as possible myself so he can have most of the time (this is assuming I'm the first reader; if I'm second, I'm just going to encourage him to keep going as long as he wants). (And while I'm talking about Shepard, will somebody please collect all of his Dragon Griaule stories in one book?)
Further posting around here is likely to be minimal for the next month or so.

Ditto. The KGB Bar is one of the coolest places ever; I loved reading there, and I'm sure you will also.ReplyDelete
But take your time! There will be people there to hear you read as well as Lucius. Hit 'em with your best shot.--Brett

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Sunday, April 21, 2013
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WRDW) -- The average selling price of a home last year was $146,000 nationwide, but that number grew. The latest data shows home prices have risen $6,000, and many realtors say the number grows each day.
"To begin with, the sellers have already done some of the most important things," said a North Augusta realtor, as she showed News 12 a home for sale.
Most people know what they need to do if they want to sell their home.
"They've painted the home a nice neutral color. They left the original trim in the home, that adds a lot of character to the older homes in North Augusta," the realtor told News 12.
Even though the homeowners have done a lot work to make the house appealing, Donna Joyner says a little more can go a long way.
Joyner says making the house homey but not personal is the key.
"A house that you live in every day is not as comfortable as a house that's on the market. You really need to adjust the way that you live," Joyner said.
That adjusting process is called staging. Joyner says to pack up things you don't need.
"It helps buyers envision their things in a home when there's not so many of the seller's things there," Joyner said.
And keeping the inside uncluttered is not the only tip -- it's also the outside that helps.
"Simple things like making sure the front yard is always cut, always looking nice," Joyner said.
Adding a thing like a glider and some sheer will make a big difference for your outside. It's relatively inexpensive and could mean big bucks in your wallet.
Lauren Whitehead also sells homes in the area. She says that for every $300 invested in staging, a homeowner can get almost $2,000 in return.
Whitehead says the North Augusta home she showed News 12 is a perfect example.
"When you walk in from the the door, you automatically notice the fireplace. She used a stand-alone fire place, which is not that expensive," said Whitehead of the homeowner.
Additions that go a huge way and give you an even bigger return. Both realtors told News 12 that staging doesn't have to be expensive.
There are professionals that do this for a living, but sometimes even your realtor can give you ideas on how to stage your home. If you don't want to do that, the realtors tell News 12 that you can use an extra room or closet as a storage unit. Just make sure 90 percent of your home is decluttered or staged.

Charlie Sheen's ex-wife Brooke Mueller has left rehab after six days, according to TMZ.
Apparently the problem has been solved. And she should know -- she's been to rehab 19 times.
This time, Mueller was in for addiction to the a psychostimulant drug Adderall. Sources say the idea this time was to detox. She is receiving psychological outpatient treatment and says she feels much better, according to TMZ.
She also has regained possession of her twins, who initially stayed with Sheen's other ex-wife, Denise Richards. Then Mueller discovered the kids were slated to go to Sheen's office holiday party and angrily had her mother get them from Richards.

Roy Nathanson Offers Love Advice On 'Simon' (Song Premiere)
Veteran jazz bandleader Roy Nathanson and his ensemble Sotto Voce return in April with a new album, and Speakeasy today premieres the first song, "Simon."
Nathanson, a saxophonist, co-founded the Jazz Passengers in 1987, and subsequently collaborated with the likes of Blondie singer Deborah Harry, Mavis Staples and Elvis Costello. Nathanson assembled the Sotto Voce band in 2004 to explore the intersection of free jazz and spoken-word performance on the 2006 album "Sotto Voce." They continued to explore in that vein on 2009's "Subway Moon," an adaptation of a book of poems the saxophonist wrote. Their latest, "Complicated Day," moves more fully toward sung vocals on eight originals and a pair of covers: Isaac Hayes' "Do Your Thang" and Johnny Nash's "I Can See Clearly Now." "Simon" is one of the originals, written by Nathanson and arranged by bassist Tim Kiah, with lyrics comprising relationship advice inspired by "Simon Says."
"I always liked how the game gave all the players an evenhanded shot at being the boss," Nathanson told Speakeasy. "In our version, Simon reminds us that keeping a relationship alive over years of domestic drudgery is clearly the real rocket science. After all, people build rockets all the time; it's the rare scientist who can keep a marriage sexy and alive after years of schlepping off to work and raising kids amid the dish juggling of the normal household day."
Along with Nathanson and Kiah, the band features Curtis Fowlkes on trombone, Jerome Harris on guitar and banjolin, Napoleon Maddox as the human beatbox and Sam Bardfeld on violin.
"Complicated Day" is due April 8 on Enja/Yellowbird Records. What do you think of "Simon?" Leave your thoughts in the comments.

December 19, 2005
It was the last commission meeting of the year and elected officials were taking no holiday. Before three seats change hands, commissioners voted on some controversial issues.
Some commissioners say the structure of Augusta's government is in need of a makeover. In this final meeting of the year, some commissioners were passionate about making some major changes, like giving the mayor veto power while others were saying not so fast.
"We need to empower the leader of this commission with a veto," said Roy Rearden.
It's a debate over structure and power in Augusta's government.
"We and that's more than one are not in agreement with doing this," Marion Williams said.
As commission chambers were filled with folks on both sides of several key issues on the agenda, commissioners too were split on several key issues including give the city administrator power to hire and fire employees, changing to a simple majority vote for commission decisions, and the highly controversial topic of giving the mayor the power to veto.
"How in the world can that be far? In fact, I'm embarrassed to have to have that brought forth to say that's a fair way of doing things," Marion Williams said.
Commissioner Williams says on a commission racially divided, a vote for the mayor means an advantage for one side.
"If we give anybody, a green, blue, purple or any other mayor veto power and there's matching commissioners that fit that description, it's going ot be one-sided in this city of Augusta," Williams said.
But Commissioner Cheek says it's important to moving the city forward.
"We are either going to get on with the business of Augusta and become one Augusta or we are going to continue to walk in this same circle over and over," Cheek said.
And as Commissioner Cheek was ready to give the green light on the changes, three red lights from Commissioners Williams, Hankerson, Beard and Colclough put a half on it going through.
"My substitute motion is to deny the veto power for the mayor or anybody else that wants to veto anything," Williams said.
"It's not an issue with the community, so why is it an issue here?" Cheek said.

The picnic at High Park was an awesome idea, even though we missed most of the cherry blossoms. I had a lot of fun chatting with Andrew, James, Joe, Mike, and Quinn over strudel, popcorn, chips, potato salad (with onions!), tangerines, peanuts, cranberry juice and Sprite. It was so nice seeing the sun again, too, even though it was quite chilly!
Happy girl. =)

Camille Félix Bellanger (Paris, 1853 – Paris, 1923) was a well-known academic painter. These two portraits of the artist at work depict him not as a bourgeois painter, but as a modern artist: the vogue for open-air painting which became so popular in the late 19th century profoundly altered artistic practice.
Bellanger therefore appears very much as a painter of his times, working on an outdoor subject without going so far as to paint it from life (at least in this example).
There is a detail which draws the eye in one of the two photographs: in the bottom left-hand corner of his easel is what could be a working photograph on which the artist is basing his canvas. We can therefore see the tricks of the trade at first hand since artists had been using photography from its beginnings both for documentary purposes, as was apparent in the recent exhibition Delacroix and photography, as well as for more structural ends.
This picture is particularly relevant to the photographic collection at the Petit Palais, which is largely based around the concept of "art in the making".
