The short answer to this question is no, so long as you are grilling the right way. What could be harmful with grilling is consuming charred meat. When meat or fat burns to the point that it is charred, it is believed that carcinogenic compounds form and ingestion of these could lead to cancer. Additionally, when food burns over a flame, smoke is created and this potentially carcinogenic smoke can settle on your food and also be ingested. These theories have been investigated and not yet proven, but it's still a healthy practice to avoid burning your meat.
There are a few different ways to grill safely without charring.
The first thing you should do is select lean cuts of meat with little visible fat. If you can see fat on the meat, trim it off and discard it. Fat easily catches fire and will be the first thing to char and create smoke. Second, try to minimize flare-ups. Flare-ups occur when juices or fat drippings hit the flame or coals below. Obviously if the flame is directly on your meat, there is a much higher likelihood of the meat charring and flare-ups alone place smoke on the meat. Lastly, if you do char part of you meat, trim that part off and discard it. I don't like wasting food and I am sure you don't either so hopefully you don't get to this point!
A few other ways to keep the grilling process safe are:
1. Beware of the marinades you use – some can be especially likely to drip and flare, like those with oil or sugar in them.
2. Avoid using the highest heat settings on your grill. Allow enough time to heat your grill to medium or medium high and cook the meat over a lower flame.
3. Always test the end temperature of your meat with a thermometer so that you are not risking foodborne illness.
4. Practice safe handling of meat – never cross contaminate by using the same dishes or grilling utensils with raw and cooked meats.
Grilling the right way is 100% safe and healthy. For another healthy summer alternative–that's super quick–try no-cook meals!

The following is an excerpt from a recently discovered, alternate manuscript of William Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Act 5, Scene 2, Line 317:
Queen: No, no, the drink, the drink! O my dear Hamlet! The drink, the drink! I am poison'd [Dies.]
Hamlet: Here, thou incestuous, murd'rous, damned Dane, Drink off this potion. Is thy union here? Follow my mother. [King dies.]
Laertes: Exchange forgiveness with me, noble Hamlet. Mine and my father's death come not upon thee, Nor thine on me. [Dies.]
Hamlet: O, I die, Horatio. The potent poison quite o'ercrows my spirit. [Dies.]
Milk maid: I heard a clammor, from my chamber. What's all this noise? [Removes decorative blindfold.] Heavens! O, my frail heart! [Dies.]
Fertrand the Baker: A racket! A racket! At once, explain this rack-JESUS! WHAT!? HAMLET DID YOU KILL ALL THESE- WHAT THE FUCK – NO. NO. – THIS IS – MY PAROLE OFFICER IS GONNA – YOU KILLED YOUR OWN MOM – MAN, I TOLD YOU, I CAN'T BE AROUND THIS KINDA – Awww, this is baaaaad- [Unsheathes mobile phone.] Hey, yeah, Lorenzo? It's Ferty. You know that cousin of yours? Yeah, with the weird hands – I need his number reaaaal bad right now, yea- What? C'mon Lorenzo, it's me! Your boy! You know I wouldn't do you like that- Lorenzo? LORENZO? Wait this isn't my phone. FU-[Dies.]
Babysitter: For the last time, there's no monsters in your clos- what the fuck. [Hit atop skull with baseball.]
Protagonist of Disney Chanel Sports Movie: Hey mister! Sorry about the window, but it really means a lot to me to get that ba – say, is that wine up for grabs? [Dies.]
Reluctant side-kick: But I don't wanna go to fat camp. [Sighs.]
Howard the stoner: Checkout this white shirt. Hey now… [Dyes]
Native American atop garbage pile: [cries]
Wentworth the wayward ribbeldy-badger: Oy there! Hamlet's done got his chops up in a whole mess-around, yes 'e does! But, oy! No time for rosey-dozing, I've got to g't back to me chimbley, yes I do! Hip'ip! [Pork'n'Barrels.]
Bill Cosby: Hippety-Flippety! [Fribbety-Frazzles.]
Backwards-Hamlet: [Is born.] Horatio. We must leave this place at once. Right? Horatio? Guys? Seriously. [Guys.]

It is the spot for sunrise!
By 03:00 we were on the road, heading east to the Badlands. It is a magical place! It is the best spot I know of for sunrise. Here you can see the sun coming up only minutes after sunrise via HDR.
And as the sun came up, the clouds which blanketed the landscape began to wisp away. In the process, they left behind some gorgeous views.
As the clouds worked their magic, I hit the road, walking up and down the grade to find the foreground that worked best with the ever changing sky. Besides stretching my legs, I enjoyed the challenge of finding the right foreground.
While it lasted for over 45min, it was over too soon for me. The Badlands are these very cool formations created in sandstore and when the have the right skies, there simply is no better place to shoot.

On the Road
by Jack Kerouac
Analysis: Trivia
Brain Snacks: Tasty Tidbits of Knowledge
Jack Kerouac modeled Sal Paradise after himself. It kind of makes sense now that you think about that whole first-person narrator business.
Dean Moriarty is modeled after Neal Cassady. Well who was Neal Cassady? Glad you asked. Neal was a good friend of Kerouac as well as an auto thief. He also may have had elements of Dean's madness.
The character Carlo Marx was modeled after Allen Ginsberg. Yes, the great Beat poet and author of super famous "Howl." Lots of people say that On the Road is the prose equivalent of "Howl" – both are poster pieces for the Beat Generation.
William Burroughs was the inspiration for Bull Lee. Burroughs was a fellow Beat writer and intense drug user. Hi wife, Joan Vollmer, was the model for Jane Lee.
Remi Boncœur was modeled after Henri Cru. Hence the French. Henri went to prep school with Kerouac (Horace Mann School in New York) and introduced him to Edie Parker, Kerouac's first wife. The whole guard in the barracks gig? That did happen.
Marylou, Dean's first wife, was modeled after LuAnne Henderson. LuAnne married Neal (or Dean) when she was only fifteen.
The character Camille was inspired by Carolyn Cassady. Carolyn was Dean's second wife.
Diana Hansen, after whom Inez was modeled, was Dean's third wife, who lived in New York.
Laura was modeled after Joan Haverty (or Joan Kerouac after their marriage). Joan was wife number two for Kerouac. Although Sal's relationship with Laura seems hunky dory at the end of On the Road, in real life, Joan and Jack were only married for a few months.
In Part IV, Chapter Two, Sal sings a short song about nowhere being home for him. Singer Tom Waits recorded a song using those lyrics, and released it in 2006. The song is called "On the Road."
Anyone know the movie Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead? Yep – that title came from the poem Sal recites to himself in Part III, Chapter I: "Down in Denver, down in Denver / All I did was die. " Check out the movie here
You know that part of the text at the end of Part I when the character Rickey rambles on about mañana? And then a few pages later, Sal sings a few lines of a song: "The window she is broke and the rain she is coming in"? Well that's a song called "Mañana." Kerouac tried to slip it by us.
Kerouac wrote On the Road in only a few weeks on one long scroll of typewriter paper without paragraph, page, or chapter breaks. This original scroll sold for $2.43 million to Jim Irsay, owner of the Indiana Colts, at an auction in 2001.

By SAM HODGES / The Dallas Morning News
12:04 PM CST on Tuesday, December 7, 2010
Celebrate Christmas or else, says the Rev. Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church of Dallas.
Jeffress today announced the launch of http://www.GrinchAlert.com, a First Baptist Dallas website where people can post the names of businesses that use generic holiday language or nothing at all, rather than acknowledging Christmas through store displays, advertising or community relations.
"Too many businesses have bowed down to political correctness," Jeffress said. "I thought this would be a fun way to call out businesses that are refusing to celebrate Christmas."
The website features a "naughty" list but also a "nice" list for recognition of businesses that do acknowledge Christmas.
Jeffress said First Baptist does not plan to monitor the list to protect businesses owned by non-Christians.
"We're letting readers and listeners make their own determination about who ought to be on the naughty or nice list," Jeffress said. "This is just a forum to let people express their views. In a pluralistic society everybody gets to make their decision."
Jeffress announced the launch this morning on KCBI-FM (90.9), the church's radio station. He said that in coming mornings the station will announce businesses listed on the website.

NEW DELHI: Companies may soon have to get their financial statements vetted by more than one auditor. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), the country's accounting and auditing rule-maker, is considering a proposal to make it mandatory for companies to get their books audited by more than one auditor so that each of the audit firms could observe the practices followed by the other. The regulator believes the move will ensure that auditors do not enter into a cosy arrangement with the company management.
In its search for various checks and balances to ensure credibility in the work of auditors, ICAI is examining new ideas like promoting joint audits rather than a single-firm audit and a scheme of rotation of auditors. While the management of companies may succeed in influencing a single team of auditors, it shall not be easy for them to influence two or more professional groups, an official in the regulating body, who did not wish to be named, said.

Hesychius of Miletus (Greek: Ήσύχιος ο Μιλήσιος Hesychios o Milesios), Greek chronicler and biographer, surnamed Illustrius, son of an advocate, flourished at Constantinople in the 6th century AD during the reign of Justinian.
According to Photius (cod. 69) he was the author of three important works:
- A Compendium of Universal History in six books, from Belus, the reputed founder of the Assyrian empire, to Anastasius I (d. 518). A considerable fragment has been preserved from the sixth book, a history of Byzantium from its earliest beginnings till the time of Constantine the Great.
- A Biographical Dictionary of Learned Men, arranged according to classes (poets, philosophers), the chief sources of which were the works of Aelius Dionysius and of Herennius Philo. Much of it has been incorporated in the Suda, as we learn from that book. It is disputed, however, whether the words in the Suda ("of which this book is an epitome") mean that Suda's compiler himself epitomized the work of Hesychius, or whether they are part of the title of an already epitomized Hesychius used in the compilation of the Suda. The second view is more generally held. The epitome referred to, in which alphabetical order was substituted for arrangement in classes and some articles on Christian writers added as a concession to the times, is assigned from internal indications to the years 829-837. Both it and the original work are lost, with the exception of the excerpts in Photius and the Suda. A smaller compilation, chiefly from Diogenes Laërtius and the Suda, with a similar title, is the work of an unknown author of the 11th or 12th century.
- A History of the Reign of Justin I (518–527) and the early years of Justinian, completely lost.
In 1663 Gilles Ménage published an anonymous Vita Aristotelis that is commonly attributed to Hesychius.
Photius praises the style of Hesychius, and credits him with being a veracious historian.

"The problem is if we get a knockout price, will we have time to replace someone like Gary Hooper? Trust me, they are hard to find.
"I have spoken to Gary, I am keeping him up to date. I think he is very happy here. I think Celtic and Gary suit each other, he is a Celtic type of player, strong, great finisher, great feet and his goal record speaks for itself."
Hooper himself is adamant he wants to stay at Celtic. He told Celtic's official website, "I'm very happy. I'm back playing now and scored at the weekend. It was good to be back in the team
"I don't want to go anywhere. I'm a Celtic player and very happy here, winning games for Celtic and we're two points clear at the top of the league just now."
Celtic's Irish defender Darren O'Dea, meanwhile, has confirmed that he wants to turn his season long loan move to Leeds into a permanent deal before the transfer window closes.
"If something could be done in January, it certainly would appeal to me to move," O'Dea told the Irish Independent. "I'm at the stage of my life, and career, where I need to settle.
"I have been on loan three times now -- this my third year in a row -- and with a wife and kid I want to get a permanent base."
Keane Hungry
ROBBIE Keane wants to do a Thierry Henry on it -- and quickly get among the goals for Aston Villa after completing his two month loan deal from the LA Galaxy.
The Irish captain made his Villa debut as a second-half substitute in the 1-1 draw with Everton on Saturday when Galaxy teammate Landon Donovan played for the visitors after his loan move from the MLS.
Henry, on loan at Arsenal from the New York Red Bulls, has made an immediate impact on his return to England with a goal against Leeds in the FA Cup, and Keane would like to follow suit with Villa ASAP.
"Can I do a Thierry Henry? I hope so. It would be great to do that," said Keane. "It was written that he was always going to come back and score on his return to Arsenal.
"Good luck to him, he is obviously a legend at Arsenal. If I can do something like that in the six league games, and help the team, that is great.
"What impact can one player make in six games or so? Hopefully it will be a good one. I hope it works out well for both parties. I don't think I'm running a risk, no.
"I've had a good career in the Premiership and scored a lot of goals. When you get older and play the amount of games I have played, you get wiser, you read the game better than you do when you were 17.
"I will be doing my utmost to help the team and make as much impact as I can in the seven weeks I am here."
Sheppard Transfers
READING have completed the transfer of Irish under-21 striker Karl Sheppard, available on a free after his contract with Shamrock Rovers expired in December.
Sheppard has followed several current Ireland internationals to Reading and said, "It was massive, seeing the likes of Kevin Doyle and Shane Long come over and do well, and Noel and Stephen Hunt as well, it's a good thing.
"The history of bringing good Irish players through is something that intrigued me coming here. There was interest from a few other Championship clubs as well but once I heard that Reading were in, there was only one club for me.
"I'm buzzing for it, I can't wait. It's been a month since my last game so getting fitness is obviously something that I need to do and then hopefully I can break into the team."
Busy Kenny
NEW Shamrock Rovers manager Stephen Kenny has wasted no time signing players ahead of his first season in charge of the League of Ireland champions.
Defender Graham Gartland has returned home from St. Johnstone in Scotland while Killian Brennan has arrived from Bohs and striker Daryl Kavanagh from St. Pat's.
Winger Billy Dennehy has agreed to stay with the Hoops and has signed a new contract.
Kenny will be assisted in Tallaght by former Newcastle, Hibernian and Dunfermline player Stephen Glass while Colin Hawkins joins the club as a player-coach. Former Hoops player Stephen O'Brien returns as goalkeeping coach.

As I was working on the first of my 2012 calendars yesterday, I realized it's been a while since I posted a tutorial. Admittedly, I have a busy morning ahead of me but I thought that I would post a Photoshop Quick Tip, in lieu of a full blown tutorial but I do have several tutorials in the works now so stay tuned.
Before we get to that though, we'll start with the Photo of the Day, "Bicyclette," currently the December photo in my "From Paris With Love" 2012 calendar. This was one of those serendipitous moments when I took a wrong turn trying to get to the Musee d'Orsay (sorry Mom and Aunt Judy!) and came across what is now one of my favorite photos. I love the sweet cranberry color of the door and the adorable checkerboard bag on the back. Quintessential Paris!
On to the Photoshop tip… I'm using CS5.5 but this can be used in any of the last few versions, at the very least, if you haven't yet upgraded.
Have you ever had multiple layers of text that you wanted to change (font size, font, etc.) but don't want to go in to each and ever layer to do so? Allow me to show you what I mean…
I wanted to change the font on all of the numbers on the calendar at once but, as you can see, when creating my grid, I actually created 31 separate text layers in case I needed to edit them independently. Now, keep in mind, there are twelve months, times however many days in each month, oh and I am currently working on two additional calendars in addition to this which will have completely different fonts as well. I'll be here all week right? Not with this shortcut.
Highlight all of the text layers you want to change, right click on the highlighted layers and select, "Link Layers."
This will, well, link the layers so that they act as one. You should see little chain links like this:
[this text has been edited thanks to reader feedback on Mac vs. PC- thank you Dana!] Hold the [Shift] key down and, while continuing to hold it down, click on the Text Tool icon at the left:
You will see the Text Options panel pop up at the top of the screen like you normally would. Release the Shift key, make all of your desired changes and, voila, all of the linked layers will be updated at once. At this point, I typically go ahead and unlink my layers as, aside from mass changes, I do prefer them to work independent of one another but that is totally up to you.
Hope this little exercise helped!

THE POPULARITY of the gig and dog cart remained throughout the 19th Century, but their construction was refined to eliminate features which caused discomfort or necessitated frequent repairs. The small carts and gigs were by far the most numerous on the roads. Public cabs failed to survive in such numbers as the private carriages. The governors' carriages were the vehicles in fashion at the end of the carriage era.
The first dog carts were constructed for the purpose indicated by their name, to enable dogs for shooting or other purposes to be conveniently carried. They were seated for four, and were roomy, comfortable traps with space under the seats, where a brace of pointers or other dogs could lie at ease. The sides of the cart were made with Venetian slats to provide ventilation, the seat cushions being frequently finished with long flaps falling from the seat to near the floor of the vehicle.
A conveyance adapted for the comfortable carriage of dogs ceased to be of practical utility when pointers and setters were no longer used for partridge and pheasant shooting. The fashion of the dog cart changed frequently as far as the general lines of the vehicle were concerned. The taste for a low vehicle set well down upon the wheels replaced that for the high dog cart formerly so popular.
With the low dog cart, a cob or a pony is only required for it instead of a horse. It was easier to enter and leave.
The 'fulcrum shafts' marked a great step in advance. These shafts did away with the 'knee action' or rocking motion, which was formerly the greatest objection to vehicles of the dog cart pattern.
Two country dog carts from the 1904 catalogue of the 'East Yorkshire and Crosskills Carriage and Waggon Works Ltd.' show the carts which were popular in our area, and which were frequently being repaired in the works of George Shepherdson & Son, Middle Street North, Driffield, as shown in one of their ledgers at the time:
The Yorkshire spring cart. was a well-finished cart of stylish appearance mounted on Three Springs and Mail Patent Axle with Brass Caps. The spring cart was really more of a market cart than a dog cart.
The Beverley 'Whitechapel Cart'. was a strong useful cart with cushions and lancewood shafts, mounted on Mail Patent Axle, with brass caps, good springs and drivers box and lamps complete. This 'Whitechapel' was by far the most frequent cart to enter the works of George Shepherdson at Driffield, for repair.
It was a light two-wheeled spring cart used by shopkeepers for sending goods round the district.

- 0 Comments about Human rights march covers a range of issues
Dozens of organizations and concerned citizens will gather in Flagstaff, Ariz. today for a Human Rights March "For Justice and a Healthy Future for Coming Generations!" Their call to action is in response to escalating threats to indigenous and immigrant communities in their state.
It is hard to estimate how many will arrive, according to Klee Benally, an organizer of the march. More than 1,000 people attended a similar march in Flagstaff in March 2006, in response to escalating anti-migrant actions, and amid the struggle of indigenous peoples to protect their sacred sites, land, air and water from corporate interests.
"We are under attack," said Benally, Navajo and life-long defender of sacred sites. Benally is an advocate to protect the environment of his own indigenous communities in Northern Arizona. "The question is how are we going to come together to have each others' backs and what tactics do we need?"
As major corporations and local, state, and federal governments wage a perceived war on human rights, it is clear that Arizona has become, in many ways, the frontlines of that war.
From the recent Mexican-American studies ban to the passing of the controversial law Arizona Senate Bill 1070 in 2010, to corporate actions harming sacred areas and the environment in indigenous communities, to violence at the U.S.-Mexican border against undocumented immigrants, it appears the response to these atrocities is warranted.
These human rights are interconnected, Benally said. He believes the communities at risk have reasons to join together to recognize that and fight it.
"The main thing is definitely to realize that we are in the face of serious ecological crisis and social crisis. It is a cultural crisis. I would tell people of the earth that everyone needs to clean the air, the land, the water. People need to be able to thrive, not just survive," he said.
Anti-immigration legislation
On April 23, 2010 Governor Jan Brewer signed into Arizona state law the "Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act" or Senate Bill 1070 or SB 1070. The bill has become known as the broadest and strictest anti-illegal immigration measure in recent U.S. history.
SB 1070 enables state law enforcement officials upon reasonable suspicion to determine immigration status of an individual during a "lawful stop, detention or arrest".
The law also requires immigrants to carry their registration documents with them at all times. Immigrants caught without the required documents can be charged with a misdemeanor. SB 1070 even cracks down on those sheltering, hiring and transporting undocumented immigrants.
"The struggle for migrant rights is an indigenous struggle," Benally said. "SB 1070 is state sanctioned racial profiling and criminalizing."
Though the provision requiring police to determine the immigration status of people they lawfully stop has been temporarily blocked by a federal judge, Arizona continues attempting to reverse that decision in the federal appeals courts.
Ofelia Rivas, a traditional elder of the Tohono O'odham Nation, has seen her indigenous community hurt by the border wall, military presence, minute men militias and SB 1070. Her nation is located on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Rivas will be a speaker at the march. Her testimony was crucial to a recent report from Amnesty International that detailed numerous human rights violations happening at the border, titled "In Hostile Terrain: Human Rights Violations in Immigration Enforcement in the U.S. Southwest".
"The border wall is severing their community," Benally said. "Not just cutting them off from their own people, but also their sacred places, their ceremonies. With militarized checkpoints, drones, and a heavy army presence, indigenous folks are being put in detention camps and private prison camps as well. It's this whole industry that is built on profiting off of that."
Banning books
Shortly after SB 1070 was made law, in May 2010, Gov. Brewer signed House Bill 2281, prohibiting a school district or charter school from including in its program of instruction any courses or classes that "promote the overthrow of US government," "promote resentment toward a race or class of people," "advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals" or "are designed for pupils primarily of a certain ethnic group."
In December 2011, the Tucson Unified School District's Mexican-American studies program was the district's only course of study said to be in violation of this law. Arizona State Superintendent of Public Instruction John Huppenthal threatened to take away millions of dollars of funding if the school board did not end the program.
The TUSD school board reacted swiftly. While students attended classes, books were taken and boxed up from their classrooms. Books that were deemed "divisive," included Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire, Chicano! The History of the Mexican Civil Rights Movement by Arturo Rosales and even Shakespeare's The Tempest.
Oppostion was strong on a national level, with caravans bringing banned books to Tucson, to ensure students had access to books containing content on race, colonization and oppression. Simon Ortiz, professor at Arizona State University, will be speaking at the march to address HB 2281.
Reproductive health battles
Last month, Gov. Brewer signed H.B. 2036, authorizing the state to outlaw abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy. According to the legislation, however, the state considers the starting point of the life of a fetus to begin on the first day of the mother's last menstrual period, essentially establishing life to begin two weeks before conception.
Benally pointed to the state's threat to remove funding from healthcare providers who provide abortion information or services to their clients. He recalled the forced sterilization of indigenous peoples in the United States and Canada.
"Now to have our bodies under attack again - it's an extension of that," he said.
The struggle to protect sacred lands, the environment
Preserving indigenous culture, religion and lands are escalating concerns for the Human Rights March.
"On all levels, the struggle to protect sacred places is a struggle for cultural survival just as the ethnic studies ban is an attack on culture and identity. Any attack on our sacred places is an attack on who we are," said Benally.
One of Benally's longtime fights has been resisting the desecration of the holy San Francisco Peaks, outside of Flagstaff, Ariz.
The Snowbowl Ski Resort struck a deal with the City of Flagstaff to pump waste water up the mountain for the purpose of making snow. They are already halfway done with building a pipeline, which would be introducing sewage effluent into the water, land, plants and animals on a mountain held Sacred by over 13 Native American Tribes and Nations.
The coalition of allies and tribes, Save the Peaks' outrage has been heard in the Supreme Court of appeals numerous times over the years of battle. The Hopi Tribe recently filed to sue the City of Flagstaff for violating state laws in regards to usage of waste water where there is runoff that can affect the communities below.
Lawyer Howard Shanker has been fighting this battle for citizens and tribes since 2005. He reported that the last attempt at rehearing was denied just two weeks ago.
"I am pretty cynical of the systems of justice: they are all fatally flawed and broken," Shanker said.
From an environmental perspective, Shanker offered these word about protecting mother earth: "We are the only species I am aware of that actually destroys its own habitat. Once mother earth is gone, we have nowhere to go."
Now there is a new act proposed by Senators Jon Kyl and John McCain being lobbied by the Navajo Nation, The Navajo-Hopi Little Colorado River Water Rights Settlement Act of 2011 or S.2109, which would provide funding for water projects, but would also allow corporations such as coal giants Peabody Energy an unlimited water supply without compensating tribes.
Opponents to S.2109 are concerned about tribes losing their water rights; the unregulated usage of the water affecting the water table in an already drought-ridden environment; and the harm that these corporations benefiting from the bill would bring to their water, land and air with their coal and energy projects.
Shanker responded to the main message of the Hopis and Navajos against the Kyl Bill: "'Water is life' speaks for itself. Indigenous people should be able to preserve their water rights. A lot of experts in the various fields are saying water will be one of the most valuable commodities. People do need to be aware that we don't need to privatize water."
Benally reported the climate of the Chapter house meetings on the Navajo Nation, recently held to "educate" the communities about the water bill.
"They are called 'public forums' but they aren't presenting concerns- they are only trying to convince them," Benally said. "These forums have been highly policed with snipers on the roof and children and community members not being allowed to speak. Freedom of speech is being completely censored- it's difficult to face that for my own people, and of course when you look at it in the larger picture, it is about serving the interests of these corporations. Not about mother earth."
With these and more issues plaguing the state, numerous organization will sponsor the march. These include: Flagstaff Action Network, Truesnow.org, Repeal Coalition, Center for Biological Diversity, Protect the Peaks, Dine' Citizens Against Ruining our Environment, Laguna Acoma Coalition For A Safe Environment, Indigenous World Association, Outta Your Backpack Media, Radio Free Flagstaff, Taala Hooghan Infoshop, The Shanker Law Firm, PLC, Indigenous Action Media, Northern Arizona University M.E.C.H.A, and more.
The Rally will begin at 3 p.m. at the Wheeler Park parking lot in downtown Flagstaff across from City Hall. Immediately following the rally, they will march through downtown Flagstaff.
The uniting of the issues is intended to be a positive outcome, as march supporters vow to continue their work fighting human rights violations in their state and beyond.
"People don't need to look anywhere but their own community," Benally said. "These struggles are happening right where you're at! There's opportunities to take action, especially for indigenous folks amidst the 'settler conscience'. Instead of developing, decolonize! (The United States) is already occupied, now how do we move beyond that?"

Kentucky Challenger Faces Uphill Cash Battle
By Thomas Catan and Rebecca Ballhaus
WASHINGTON—Mitch McConnell's tea party challenger, Matt Bevin, on Monday cast himself as the only candidate that could keep the Senate Majority Leader's Kentucky seat in Republican hands.
But if new fundraising figures are anything to go by, Mr. Bevin has a financial mountain to climb if he is to get anywhere near Sen. McConnell's formidable war chest.
Last month, Mr. Bevin's campaign trumpeted the fact that he had raised $900,000 in the final quarter of last year but wouldn't say how much money he had in the bank. Now the figures are out and they don't look good for the Kentucky businessman.

- Hillary Clinton's Strengths and Weaknesses in Kentucky
- Donald Trump Takes Kentucky GOP Caucuses
At the end of 2013, his campaign had around $623,000 in cash-on-hand — and $600,000 in debt. By contrast, Sen. McConnell has $10.9 million in the bank and no debt. The Bevin campaign didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
The lopsided result shows that power of incumbency but also reveals some potential weaknesses in Mr. Bevin's insurgent campaign. He was heavily dependent on outside groups for funding, is burning through his cash pile and is building up debt by self-financing his campaign.
That puts the onus on outside groups to keep alive his bid to take on the highest-ranking Republican in the Senate.
So far, the Senate Conservatives Fund, a group that seeks to back tea party challengers against the Republican establishment has spent more than $1 million to back Mr. Bevin against Sen. McConnell. Around half of Mr. Bevin's take last quarter, or $450,000, also came from the group, according to its filings.
Mr. Bevin has also clinched the endorsement of FreedomWorks PAC, the tea party group. On Monday, Mr. Bevin spoke at a Washington D.C. event sponsored by the group and said only he could hope to defeat Democrat Alison Grimes.
"We run a tremendous risk of losing this seat in Kentucky to someone who does not represent Kentucky values," Mr. Bevin said, according to Politico. "We run the risk of losing this seat because of a sense of apathy and a sense of fatigue for the career politician that is my opponent in this primary, Mitch McConnell."
Ms. Grimes, the Kentucky secretary of state, has emerged as a surprisingly strong Democratic challenger to Sen. McConnell in the deep-red state. She raised $2.1 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $2.2 million by Mr. McConnell.
She has opened up a lead in some polls and former President Bill Clinton is set to campaign in Kentucky on her behalf later this month. Still, with $3.5 million in the bank, she also has a way to go to match Sen. McConnell's cash pile.
Polls show Sen. McConnell handily beating Mr. Bevin in the GOP primary.

A novel control method for fair resource allocation and maximization of the Quality of Service (QoS) levels of individual tasks is proposed. In the proposed adaptive QoS controller, resource utilization is assigned to each task through an online search for the fair QoS level based on the errors between the current QoS levels and their average. The proposed controller eliminates the need for precise detection of the consumption functions as in conventional feedback control methods. The computational complexity of the proposed method is also very low compared to straightforward methods solving a nonlinear problem.
Real-time systems, fairness of Quality of Service, resource allocation.

Cloudy skies aren't putting a big damper on sales at this year's Salem Fair.
"I think the people are still coming out. The weather has not been that great but over all I've think they're dealing with it," said vendor Ken Harvell.
For a few years Harvell has served up fair favorites. He says the rain scares away some visitors but they make up for lost time.
"They're eating; I see a lot of smiles on everybody's faces. Everybody is having a good time, said Harvell.
Rich Knebel has been a vendor at the Salem Fair for more than 20 year, showcasing animals. He's says rain or shine visitors continue to fill the fair grounds.
"This fair just draws the people. It could be rainy, they'll slack off a little bit but it seems like the next day when it's nice or that evening they're back again," said Knebel.
Some fair goers came prepared just in case a shower or two rolled by; they say going home is not an option.
Heck no, I'd gather everybody here under the umbrella and we wait it out," said Robert Glenney
"The rides are great. It's worth the money, lot fun great food, and it's really great," said Leigh Ann Jamerson.
Though cloudy skies aren't too far away, neither are umbrella and the willingness to have some fun, wet or dry.

Many people think it's the end of the world if they're wrong. They'll go through all kinds of contortions to not admit a mistake, even going as far as covering things up, blaming someone else or denying that it ever happened. The amazing thing is that being wrong is liberating. It gives you a chance to stop, reevaluate and move in a more beneficial direction.
Perhaps you avoid looking like you're wrong because you don't want to feel shame, weakness or inferiority. The key to getting better results in life is to understand that being wrong offers a unique opportunity to learn and grow and helps you:
- Get new information.
- Learn new things.
- Consider different ideas and points of view.
- Be flexible and open to changing your mind.
- Get different results.
- Stop repeating patterns that don't work.
- Set a positive example of being able to grow.
- Understanding yourself better.
- Find areas for improvement.
- Act like a grownup.
- Live a happier life.
The ability to be wrong is a significant part of self-awareness because it indicates that you're mature and healthy enough to admit a mistake, learn from it and move on. It's the difference between an individual who stays stuck repeating the same error over and over because he never fixes the underlying cause and the person who is able to move past it. You get to choose whether being wrong holds you back or helps you grow and succeed. What will you do to admit you're wrong more often?
Take care,

Have CG monsters ever been frightening?
As the latest crop of invaders in Cowboys & Aliens fail to intimidate, Simon wonders, has a computer-generated monster ever been truly scary?
Walking out of a screening of Cowboys & Aliens, I couldn't help but think that when the film was a western, it worked, and when it was to do with aliens, it didn't. One of its faults, to my mind, was that it relied on CG monsters to try and intimidate, scare and interest its audience. And for my money, the computer generated aliens managed to do none of those things.
I'd had a similar reaction this summer to the last act of Super 8, and it got me thinking: has there ever been a point when a CG monster has been scary in any way whatsoever? The closest I could come were some of the dinosaurs in the original Jurassic Park (they weren't outright terrifying for me, but they did generate convincing tension). But there's been nothing to match the impact of more tangible creations, in the eye of the camera itself.
I think back to the monsters and aliens over the years that have genuinely managed to unnerve me. The alien in Alien and Aliens (although not the computerised ones that followed in some of the sequels). The Thing. The zombies of George A Romero's movies.
What most of those have in common is that they were real, physical effects, rather than generated by computer. I'm not sure whether that's coincidence or not, as there's an argument that, over the years, we've all become a bit desensitised to aliens and monsters anyway. Television shows throw them out with alarming regularity, and that means on the big screen, it's becoming harder and harder to impress an audience.
The last aliens on the big screen that I thought worked were those in the much-maligned Skyline, simply because visually, I bought them. But scary or intimidating? Not at all.
Maybe this is an art that the movies have lost. Certainly, the ability of computers to bilge creatures onto the screen means that restraint has all but gone out of the window. The notion of only letting us glimpse at a creature isn't gone entirely, of course, as Cloverfield pretty much made a film out of that. But in that example, and many others, when it came to the big reveal, the product of the special effects team was really quite underwhelming. You could say the same of Frank Darabont's The Mist, too.
I put the question out onto Twitter, as to what movie creatures and aliens genuinely put the shivers up some of our followers. Pretty much every answer, with a few exceptions, was of a physical creation of sorts. So we had The Creature From The Black Lagoon. Lots of people citing The Thing and Alien. The Blob. The Incredible Shrinking Man. It. A quick shout for Candyman. The reavers from Serenity, and the zombie lepers from The Fog. The Pale Man from Pan's Labyrinth, too (fantastic call, that one).
At the heart of nearly every one of those? Someone in a costume, on a movie set.
I do think, though, that CG can still be used to scary effect, it just has to be deployed very carefully. Look at the low-cost, highly-effective glowing teeth effect that Joe Cornish applies to Attack The Block. There's no massive computer-created face or anything. Just an adherence to a simple horror dynamic, made possible through a computer. I'd also suggest that Toy Story 3 proved you can make genuinely terrifying horror movie characters with computers. Two of the creations in that film still manage to put the chills up me.
But there are a small handful of exceptions. And I can't help but wonder if the movies' skill at scaring us with monsters and aliens has all but dissipated now. In fact, if anything, it's the small screen where ingenuity still rules. Doctor Who's weeping angels, and the Silence, are convincing, and have the ability to get under your skin. I didn't come close to reacting like that in films such as Super 8, Cowboys & Aliens, Clash Of The Titans, Transformers, Signs, War Of The Worlds, I Am Legend, Species, Resident Evil… well, you can fill in the rest of the list for yourself.
What most of these films had in common, ultimately, was that each had a computer generated foe (or foes) that, with the possible exception of Super 8, I didn't give two hoots about, and, crucially, got no pleasure from watching. In some cases, it was like watching the showreel for a computer graphics expert. Technically brilliant, but with entertainment removed.
Creating genuinely scary creatures and monsters is hard work, and requires a writer and director who know what to show, and what to not. That in itself is a tough skill, and if we're being circumspect, then there aren't too many examples from the 70s, 80s and early 90s, before computers took hold, to cite. But I find it interesting that the ones that really stick in our minds – and The Thing and Alien are the names that keep cropping up – were a product of brilliant film makers knowing just how to make the most of what they had.
Thus, computers can't be blamed altogether. But also, the search for a genuinely scary CG monster on the big screen continues. On the evidence of how aliens are treated in the likes of Cowboys & Aliens, it's set to go on for some time to come.

Melancon files ethics complaint against Vitter; Vitter calls it 'frivolous'
Published: Tuesday, March 9, 2010 at 1:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 9, 2010 at 1:08 p.m.
BATON ROUGE -- The campaign of Democratic Senate candidate Charlie Melancon has filed an ethics complaint against Republican U.S. Sen. David Vitter.
Jeff Giertz, a spokesman for Melancon's campaign, says the complaint was filed Tuesday with the Senate Select Committee on Ethics. The complaint alleges Vitter violated federal law and Senate ethics rules by sending out a fundraising letter on his official Senate letterhead.
Melancon, a congressman from Napoleonville, is the only announced Democrat challenging Vitter in the Senate race. The primary election is Aug. 28, and the general election is set for Nov. 2.
Melancon's campaign provided a copy of Vitter's fundraising letter, which was sent in February.
"Charlie Melancon's arrogant allies who run this Congress don't own the rights to the eagle any more than the NFL owns the rights to 'Who Dat.' Right after Melancon quits the Budget Committee because he doesn't have time to fight the Obama budget, he's spending his time filing frivolous complaints," responded Vitter.

News Summary: Azerbaijan basks in Eurovision glow
TRANSFORMATION: The Eurovision Song contest is in Baku, Azerbaijan, this year. That gives the capital of a former Soviet republic the chance to show off its decade-long transformation from a dour, industrial city to a vibrant metropolis.
RISKS: To authorities, the contest also risks exposing what critics say is rampant repression and cronyism.
CONCERT: About 125 million people worldwide watch the contest. Now in its 57th year, the pop battle pits performers from 42 nations against one another. Musically, it's a laughingstock. But for host countries, the event can serve as a valuable PR platform.

First of all feet position and balance is important, left foot forward, right foot back, spread only as wide as your hips (for orthodox fighter, opposite for a southpaw) get up on the balls of your feet so your heels are just off the ground,you should be able to twist and crouch without losing balance, put some chalk on your heals and if you leave marks on the floor 20 pushups hahahaha, getting your heels off the ground helps you rotate your hips when throwing hooks and leg kicks and you put less pressure through your knee's when your legs can rotate on the spot. Try a right leg kick on a bag with your heel up on your left foot then try it with your left foot flat on the ground, you will notice that with your heel up you will be able to rotate your body into the kick, with your heel down your left foot will stick to the ground and you won't be able to get as much power and you will feel your knee twist more, if you miss the kick you could easily blow your knee out, up on your toes more you will just spin around if you miss. Same with hooks, throw a right hook, both of your feet should point more to the left as you rotate and follow through with the punch.
Keep your hands up,left hand at the front about 8/10 inches away from your face, right hand up near the right side of your chin with your palm towards your chin, tuck your right elbow into the side of your rib cage, throw a left jab, when the jab goes forward put your right hand palm facing your opponent up in front of your mouth and nose so you can just see over the top of the glove, this protects your face from a counter jab from your opponent, when throwing a right hand as the right goes forward bring your left up and put it against your left ear, tuck your elbow into your rib cage, this will protect the left side of your body. After a combination of left/right reset to the starting stance and do it again. BREATHING while throwing punches is something that beginers forget to do, the best method I found was to count out loud when punching, left right left right count them out 1 2 3 4, you breath out when you throw punches, when you throw a quick snappy left right you can do that with 1 breath but you still blow out twice but half a breath each punch but thats later on, just do it slow and get the tecnique first, Practise this over and over again until it just happens without you having to think about it and then all you will have to worry about is tecnique in the future as you progress with your skills.
Hope this gives you a starting point.

In less than 12 hours after writing this, I will be on a plane, heading to the Cleveland, Ohio area. And on Wednesday I will be spending a fun, information-packed and exciting day with 14 other bloggers, several experts and staff from Stouffer's at the Nestle Culinary Center to talk about ways to help get families sitting down to dinner more often.
I will be blogging about the trip here on this site, since it's a sponsored one and my BlogHer Ads contract won't allow me to blog on my other site. I am also hoping to get a few reviews done and posted here while I'm gone – taking advantage of the kid-free time. :) And I have a few great giveaways ready to go as well.
I'm planning on tweeting about the trip and the "Let's Fix Dinner" event, so don't forget to follow me! We'll all be using the hashtag #letsfixdinner to follow the conversation.
I can't wait to meet everyone and get started! 🙂

Mergers and acquisitions may be as fundamental to a government contractor's success as getting on the right contract vehicle.
Yet, with contractors bracing for the government to reduce its spending, the question now is how will M&A activity be impacted? Will these budget reductions make acquisitions less appealing to buyers?
Will sellers be less willing to sell if they attract offers below their expectations?
Despite budget cuts, the federal government will remains an enormous and dynamic economy on its own. It spends over $500 billion annually on goods and services.
Bloomberg.com ran a recent story on how the size of this market is a primary reason why Carlyle Group and other private equity firms remain dedicated to it.
The recent acquisition of Deltek – a research firm that sells to contractors - might be a proxy for M&A activity in the government space. Its $1.1 billion price tag did garner a respectable 14 times trailing earnings.

Holiday Gift Guides from the Real Housewife, new mom and entrepreneur
You may already know me from "Bethenny Getting Married" on Bravo, but I'm writing to you today as the official gifting guru for CafePress this holiday season.
I've always loved customizing gifts and CafePress is my go-to destination when I want to give something that really expresses my personality, passions and sentiments. Every week from now through December, I'll be designing a different product for somebody special on my holiday shopping list. You'll get a sneak peek at the gifts I'm giving my husband, daughter, in-laws, co-workers and other friends in my life. I'll also be sharing my favorite gift picks from the existing 250 million items on CafePress – so check back each week to shop my fab finds!
My first project was creating my family holiday card and the invitation to my second-annual tree trimming party. I'm a huge supporter of PETA, so I love that CafePress has a specific card design that gives back to such a great cause. I used a photo of my first child, Cookie aka dabooboo, and I'm sending it to friends, family and business contacts to spread holiday cheer. For my invitation, I simply chose the design template I liked best and added in the party details. It only took two minutes!
Next up, I'll be customizing one-of-a-kind baby outfits, SIGG water bottles, ornaments, yoga mats and other fun gift ideas. I'm so excited to help you fulfill your entire holiday shopping list affordably and with character on CafePress. So, follow my lead and start creating!

TAMPA – The Tampa Bay Lightning were just two games into life without Steven Stamkos, a time frame which will last for an extended length. While it will be the whole team's duty to produce winning results on the ice, there was no doubt some anxious veterans who wanted to take full advantage of the proposition.
What better way to do it than against the Western Conference's best?
Valtteri Filppula and Martin St. Louis led the charge with a combined three goals and six points in a 5-1 rout of the Anaheim Ducks Thursday night at the Tampa Bay Times Forum.
"We're forced to play well without him [Stamkos]," Filppula said. "I think we have the confidence that we can do it."
Filppula continued his hot streak and it didn't hurt that Team Finland's general manager and head coach were giving No. 51 a watchful Olympic eye from their booth in the press box.
"He's a pretty confident kid right now," head coach Jon Cooper said. "He's got some linemates who understand where he's going to be and things he can do. When teams are expecting one thing, he has the ability to do something else and it's really helped him out."
And St. Louis, who said shortly after Stamkos' injury that being a better team starts with him, could not have made a better mark than putting a marker in the net for the first time since October 27.
"There's no easy goal in this league, but that goal was pretty easy," St. Louis said. "Being in the right place at the right time, it feels good to score."
Filppula answered the call first by giving the Lightning a 1-0 lead at 11:52 of the opening period. Teddy Purcell sent a pass across the slot, which Filppula one-timed past Ducks' goaltender Jonas Hiller for the lead.
Filppula added his second point of the night nearly five minutes later, when his shot was deflected by J.T. Brown in front of the net. Hiller managed to stop Brown's shot attempt, but St. Louis came up with the rebound, maneuvering it around the Anaheim netminder for a two-goal lead that came on the power-play. The man-advantage goal was the Bolts first since October 29 versus the New Jersey Devils and St. Louis' first since an eight-game scoring drought.
"Our power-play finally clicked for us," St. Louis said. "That's going to be a big key for us on the road; we needed our power-play to get going."
Tampa Bay then added another power play marker and an even strength tally in the middle frame. Victor Hedman, who was setup as the point player, passed to Filppula. Filppula then wristed his second goal of the game from the left face-off circle, putting the Bolts ahead 3-0 at 3:16. Killorn added a wrist shot of his own at 10:51. After he deked around Bryan Allen, Killorn took a shot, but came up empty, yet managed to score off of his own rebound for the four goal difference.
After 36 minutes had passed the Ducks finally found their way on the board with some momentum late in the second. Emerson Etem zipped into Anaheim's zone and around Hedman and Mark Barberio, sending a shot past Ben Bishop along the way to cut Tampa Bay's lead to three.
Yet the Bolts were not done on the scoreboard with Victor Hedman adding the lone goal with 1:55 remaining in regulation for a 5-1 final in their seventh straight win, an undefeated record, against the Western Conference.
Though it felt good to prove they could win without Stamkos, the Ducks were also playing without their best player and captain, Ryan Getzlaf. Cooper and the Lightning said they expect to see a much better Anaheim team when they play at the Honda Center next Friday.
UP NEXT – The Lightning hit the road for four games against the Western Conference starting Saturday with contests against the Phoenix Coyotes, Los Angeles Kings, San Jose Sharks and the Ducks. It is also the second half of a stretch where the Bolts play seven out of eight games on the road. Tampa Bay will return home to play three games during Thanksgiving week.
