Ron Johnson's plan for Penney's at least gives the retailer a focus.
J.C. Penney Co. Inc. CEO Ron Johnson freely admitted yesterday he was tapping his work experience in building Apple Inc.'s retail stores in his presentation announcing J.C. Penney's new retail strategy. Consumers can expect clearer, no-fuss pricing, stores with defined areas for brand-focused shopping and socializing, and Penney's will communicate and reinforce the changes through highly polished marketing. Sound familiar? It's certainly helping make Apple stores profitable. Each square foot of an Apple store brings in about $7,000 in sales.
Whether J.C. Penney's moves will make its stores relevant and appealing enough to consumers that stores remain profitable as a whole is TBD. Each square foot of Penney's more than 1,100 stores today brings in about $200 in sales. And we all understand the inherent financial imbalances of store retailing versus online retailing and the increasingly larger bite online retail is taking from stores. But while I watched the live webcast of Johnson's presentation yesterday, I thought that at least Penney's has a plan, a clear strategy it intends to execute on over the next four years. That is more than I can say I've heard from other store retailers who seem content to stay in the middle of the road and get run over by the forces at play.
J.C. Penney's marketing execution will effectively decide the retailer's future. I'm not referring only to its advertising, but to how it delivers, sells and convinces consumers at all customer touchpoints to shop its stores. It's an enormous and complicated task. And consumers don't react well to change initially.
Penney's revamped pricing strategy, for one, will likely confuse customers who will only see that Penney's isn't having a sale and they're not getting their $10-off coupon. In the short term, Penney's will take some financial hits, I predict. But consumers are more accustomed to adjusting to change now than 20 years ago. Look at how quickly we all picked up on the Internet, then online shopping, cell phones, smartphones and tablets.
Accepting and processing change happens faster now. If J.C. Penney investors can accept the short-term hits and let the retailer execute on its long-term marketing the way it says it will, Penney's stores may have a shot at surviving. If investors don't support the moves or if the marketing fails, the weight of those 1,100+ stores will drown J.C. Penney.
With Google devoting less space to search ads, those positions become more valuable than ever.

Early maincrop.
Yellow skinned, long, oval, tubers with a deep golden flesh, a unique nutty flavour, and an extremely creamy, yet dry texture. This exclusive early maincrop Potato 'Mayan Gold' has proven exceptionally popular with chefs and the restaurant trade. Fantastic for chips and roast potatoes with a crispy texture and fluffy centres. Superb flavour when cooked in its skin, and for all cooking uses except boiling, as tubers tend to disintergrate. Height and spread: 60cm (24").

How to grow potatoes in bags How to stop blight
Plant early maincrop potatoes from March. Prior to planting, 'chit' the seed potatoes by setting them out in a cool, bright position (10C/ 50F) to allow them to sprout.
When growing early maincrop potatoes in the ground avoid planting in soil where potatoes have grown for two years in succession to reduce the risk of disease. Prepare the planting area in a sheltered position in full sun on moist well drained soil. Dig in plenty of well rotted manure. Plant potatoes in rows at a spacing of 45cm (18"). Rows should be set out 75cm (2', 6") apart. Place the seed potatoes into 10cm (4") deep trenches and backfill the soil to refill the trenches. When shoots reach 20cm (8"), mound up soil around the shoots leaving just a few cm showing. Repeat this process after a further 3 weeks.
Where space is limited, try growing potatoes in potato bags on the patio. Fill an 8 litre potato bag to just below the top of the bag with good quality compost mixed with some well rotted manure. Carefully plunge a single chitted potato tuber into the compost with the shoots pointing upwards at a depth of 12cm (5") from the soil surface. Place the bags in a sunny position and water regularly to keep the compost moist.
Weed between rows and keep potato plants well watered throughout the growing season. If the risk of frost threatens, draw some soil up around the stems to protect them, or move potato bags to a frost free position in a shed or greenhouse. Early maincrop varieties can be harvested approximately 15 weeks from planting when the foliage begins to turn yellow and die back.
Seeds and garden supplies will normally be delivered within the time period stated against each product as detailed above. Plants, bulbs, corms, tubers, shrubs, trees, potatoes etc are delivered at the appropriate time for planting and will be stated on the product page or in your order acknowledgement page and email.
Orders for packets of seed incur a P&P charge of £1.95.
Orders which include any other products will incur a P&P charge of £4.95.
Where an order includes both packets of seeds and other products a maximum P&P charge of £6.90 will apply - regardless of the number of items ordered.

Excellent flavour and texture for roast or wedges - don't put near any water though as they are almost like instant mash. No problems growing them if harvested fairly early - slugs possibly a problem if left too long
By Ruth Smith 08-08-2011
As the description says just don't boil them as they will disintegrate! Absolutely fabulous chips with a unique taste. I've grown these for 3 years now and they are a must on my potato order.

Levees need to be properly maintained
Published: Sunday, January 29, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 28, 2006 at 10:36 p.m.
My first question: What do levee boards do?
No one seems to want to discuss that man-made drainage canals should have had gates all these 50-plus years and the damage to New Orleans would have been much less.
My second question: Where can I obtain a map of the proposed levee or levees and gates to be built around Terrebonne Parish?
I totally support levee protection and will gladly pay my fair share. I am no engineer, but I can tell you this, you cannot build a levee and forget about it. You must maintain a visual inspection of what the elements are doing to form a breach, and my recommendation would be a core sample program of the center of the levees for an early warning that erosion might be taking place.
Levees can be built to Category 5 strength, but they are not guaranteed forever. If we spend hundreds of millions of dollars, lets make sure our levees are inspected.

Medal-winning masters research almost didnt happen
As Husein Keshani was planning a trip to India to conduct his graduate research on a 14th-century Indian tomb complex, he got a big surprise.
He had already obtained a grant from the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute, a funding agency operating in both India and Canada that promotes scholarly exchanges between the two countries. But the funding was withheld by the Indian government at the last minute.
Its not uncommon for governments to review and regulate research funding, but this situation, says Keshani, was unusual. At the time, there were diplomatic tensions in Canada over Indias nuclear capability. Refusing scholarly exchanges over some objectionable diplomatic position is one of the ways governments get at each other, he says.
Fortunately, UVics faculty of graduate studies stepped in with the additional funding Keshani needed. He finished his MA thesis a study of Nizamuddin, a Delhi Sultanate Sufi shrine tomb complex and its surrounding buildings and for his efforts has won the Lieutenant Governors Silver Medal as the top masters student for 200001.
Im really grateful to UVic for helping me out, says Keshani. This award really validates the effort and recognizes the people who helped along the way. Without them I could not have done it.
With training in architectural design and an undergraduate degree in environmental studies from the University of Manitoba, Keshani became attracted to Muslim architecture after a trip through Spain and Morocco. I was really interested in exploring a part of my cultural and spiritual heritage, he says.
Born in Nairobi, Kenya, his family fled to England, then moved to Canada in the early 70s. He came to UVic in 1995 to study with Dr. Anthony Welch, a faculty member in UVics history in art department. My course work in Islamic art and architecture with Dr. Welch was really fascinating. He provided a lot of the inspiration behind my thesis.
Keshani is now working on his PhD at UVic. Im interested in a monument in Lucknow, India called the Bara Imambara. Its an 18th-century Shia Muslim ritual centre.
With a masters degree and silver medal under his belt, Keshani is optimistic about an academic career and future research opportunities in India. Ive got some independent sources of funding now, and assuming all is calm on the diplomatic front, I may not have the same difficulty with funding this time around.

Charleston, WV (AP) -- A black bear wandering around West Virginia's capital doesn't raise many eyebrows. It is the state animal, after all.
Charleston Police Lt. C.E. Sisson says a young black bear made an appearance in the city's Kanawha City area Sunday afternoon.
The bear swam across the Kanawha River to the bank near the Charleston Moose Lodge.
City police officers, Kanawha County Sheriff's Deputies and state Division of Natural Resources workers were waiting there for the animal.
Sisson says they herded the bear into the woods.
DNR officials say bears aren't a threat to humans in most cases.
But they advise residents to secure garbage cans and clean up pet food to eliminate food sources.

In addition to DII COE-compliant applications which are unique to the Naval Services, GCCS has developed segments which are of broader, general purpose value. These applications fall under the purview of GCCS-I3. Among these are segments which enable fusion and display of multi-source and multi-media data, contributing substantially to air, sea and ground components of the Common Operational Picture (COP) of the battlespace. Although far from comprehensive, these capabilities map directly to requirements defined under J2 auspices by the GCCS Intelligence Functional Working Group (IFWG), and they constitute an important technical basis for significant, near term improvements in Joint-Service C4I system interoperability. The definition and refinement of GCCS-I3 requirements, in terms of both functionality and performance, will continue to evolve as will corresponding technical options. Proper COE-compliant implementation of these baseline capabilities will provide a "plug and play" foundation for rapid development of additional functionality by multiple Services and Agencies to approach answering the full requirement.
The Intelligence Shared Data Server (ISDS) and the Imagery Transformation Services (ITS) server and their associated applications segments are the primary components of GCCS-I3. The ISDS is the central repository for all shipboard intelligence data. ISDS databases include the MIDB 2.0 General Military Intelligence (GMI), Naval Intelligence Database (NID), Naval Emitter Reference File (NERF) and ELectronic INTelligence (ELINT) Parameters List (EPL). The ISDS also holds reference data for imagery available on the ITS that has been associated with GMI records. The ISDS has the ability to receive and process national and tactical intelligence updates. A intelligence analyst will play an integral role in managing and maintaining a current intelligence view of the battlespace. Besides serving GCCS-M Intel consumers and decision makers, the ISDS will also be the source of intelligence data for other shipboard systems including TAMPS, CTAPS/TBMCS, and the Aegis Weapons System.
GCCS Integrated Imagery and Intelligence (I3), the current intelligence support capabilities for GCCS and the main intel capabilities within GCCS-M, is getting more than its share of attention from DoD and Intel Community policy makers. By mid-1999 DISA, the GCCS Program Manager, had completed integration and security testing on I3. No major discrepancies were noted. The Joint Staff J3 and J6 are in the process of determining the fielding schedule at the Joint commands. Current thinking calls for the National Military Command Center Pentagon to be the first operational site, with CENTCOM and JICPAC close behind. Once it begins, GCCS users, both operators and intel analysts, can begin to provide near-real-time intel support to the Common Operational Picture through integration of MIDB intel data and imagery from both national and theater-organic sources. The biggest outstanding issue is how to train users and SYSADMIN personnel.
The DoD Staff (OSD C3I) decided in late 1999 to provide for intelligence support to GCCS Common Operational Picture users. OSD decided to appoint Director of Naval Intelligence (CNO N2) as the Executive Agent for Intelligence capabilities for GCCS users. OSD also provided funds starting in FY 01 for GCCS-I development, integration, testing, installation, training, program oversight, coordination and guidance. OSD directed that these funds satisfy a specific set of Joint Intelligence requirements using GCCS-I3 as the baseline capability and then build integrated solutions on top of it. GCCS-I3 will continue to exist as a multi-Service, shared development effort with a definitive business process to satisfy Service C4I intel requirements, including fleet GCCS-M intel users.
Global Command and Control system [GCCS] is a command and control system supporting the joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) and Commanders in Chief (CINCs) in managing military assets. GCCS supports six mission areas (operations, mobilization, deployment, employment, sustainment, and intelligence) though eight functional areas:
The GCCS implementation approach provides an infrastructure supporting migration of selected Command and Control (C2) applications into a client/server, open systems environment.
The GCCS infrastructure includes:

Me as I think I am and me as I am in fact--sorrow, in other wors, and the ending if sorrow. One third, more or less, of all the sorrow that the person I think I am must endure is unavoidable. It is the sorrow inherent in the human condition, the price we must pay for being sentient and self-conscious organisms, aspirants to liberation, but subject to the laws of nature and under orders to keep on marching, through irreversible time, through a world wholly indifferent to our well-being, toward decrepitude and the certainty of death. The reamaining two thirds of all sorrow is homemade and, so far as the universe is concerned, unneccessary.Somewhere between brute silence and last Sunday's Thirteen hundred thousand sermons;Somewhere betweenCalvin on Christ (God help us!) and the lizards;Somewhere between seeing and speaking, somewhereBetween our soiled and greasy currency of wordsAnd the first star, the great moths flutteringAbout the ghosts of flowers, Lies the clear place where I, no longer I,Nevertheless rememberLove's nightlong wisdom of the other shore;And, listening to the wind, remember tooThat other night, that first of widowhood,Sleepless, with death beside me in the dark. Mine, mine, all mind, mine inescapably!But I, no longer I,In this clear place between my thought and silenceSee all I had and lost, anguish and joys,Glowing like gentians in the Alpine grass, Blue, unpossessed and open.

October: Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Local hospitals promote awarenessUPDATED 9:14 AM EDT Oct 14, 2013
WPTZ NewsChannel 5's Courtney Kabot tells us why early detection is key when it comes to fighting breast cancer, and also has an update on local events that aim to promote awareness.Video Transcript
SOMEONE WHO HAS HAD BREAST CANCER. IN FACT-- BREAST CANCER AFFECTS ONE IN EIGHT WOMEN-- ACCORDING TO THE U-S DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES. THANKS TO SCREENING... IT CAN OFTEN BE FOUND EARLY. DOCTORS RECOMMEND MAMMOGRAMS FOR WOMEN OVER FORTY. THEY CAN HELP DETECT ABNORMALITIES THAT MIGHT NOT BE FELT DURING A SELF- EXAMINATION. Nats: is that okay? WOMEN WHO ARE AT A HIGHER RISK FOR BREAST CANCER-- BECAUSE OF FAMILY HISTORY OR OTHER FACTORS-- ARE ADVISED TO TALK TO THEIR PHYSICIAN ABOUT WHETHER TO GET A MAMMOGRAM EARLIER. DOCTORS SAY THE KEY-- IS GETTING ONE EVERY YEAR. 1:49:00-1:49:17 Dr. Mary Glickman, If you don't have it one year, and the next year there's some finding of breast cancer, you've caught it fairly early because of the annual mammogram. So, it can save your life and reduce the type of invasive procedure you have to go through. WHEN BREAST CANCER IS DETECTED EARLY... THE FIVE-YEAR RELATIVE SURVIVAL RATE IS 98-PERCENT. THIS MONTH-- LOCAL HOSPITALS IN OUR REGION ARE PROMOTING BREAST CANCER AWARENESS. THE FOUNDATION OF C-V-P-H IS HOSTING IT'S ANNUAL "GIRLS NIGHT OUT" AT THE STRAND THEATER IN PLATTSBURGH. FLETCHER ALLEN IS HOLDING "DENIM DAY"... TO RAISE FUNDS FOR THEIR "BREAST CARE CANCER CENTER." AND ELIZABETHTOWN COMMUNITY HOSPITAL IS PUTTING ON A "WOMEN'S HEALTH NIGHT"... THAT INCLUDES CERTAIN SCREENINGS. WOMEN MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE MAMMOGRAMS AS WELL. I'M COURTNEY KABOT... WPTZ NEWCHANNEL FIVE. WE'LL BE RIGHT

Philippine Super Liga (2014–present)
Cuneta Astrodome is an indoor arena located in Pasay, Philippines. It is better known as the home of the Philippine Basketball Association from 1993, when it left the PhilSports Arena, then known as the ULTRA, until 1998. It also host to other basketball leagues, political, evangelical gatherings and churches anniversaries. It is also the permanent home of the Philippine Super Liga since 2014.
The arena is named after Enrique Cuneta, a prominent Pasay city official during the Spanish colonial period.[1]
Despite its name, the Cuneta Astrodome is not a dome-shaped indoor arena, since its exterior is rectangular in shape.
Philippine Basketball Association[edit]
Built in 1993, the arena became the PBA's home after the league signed a five-year deal with the Pasay City government, which includes the league's office within the Astrodome's vicinity.[1] The league also manages maintenance and marketing of the Astrodome.[2] During the first two years, the league played all of its games (except those played in provinces) exclusively at the Astrodome before limiting its schedule to Tuesday and Sunday games, as the league played its Friday games at the Araneta Coliseum in 1995.
In 1999, after the agreement expired, the league transferred its offices and most of its games to the PhilSports Arena, the PBA's home from 1985 to 1992. Although the league hosted a few games at the said venue, it was not used for the duration of the 2000 season. Since 2001, the league has host a decent amount of games at the Astrodome, including several recent PBA championship series games.
It has hosted more than 30 PBA championship series, most recently the Game 2 of the 2011 PBA Commissioner's Cup Finals.
Currently, it is one of the alternate venues of the league, together with the PhilSports Arena in Pasig if either the Smart Araneta Coliseum and the Mall of Asia Arena are not available.
Metropolitan Basketball Association[edit]
The Metropolitan Basketball Association held two games at the Astrodome during the 1999 season. The first is between San Juan Knights and the Nueva Ecija Patriots, the other is between Pasig-Rizal Pirates and the Davao Eagles.
Amateur/Collegiate Leagues[edit]
Aside from hosting PBA games, it also held several collegiate leagues such as the UAAP, NCAA, WNCAA and the UCAA. The UAAP held the men's senior basketball championships in 1994 and 1999. The NCAA hosted some championship matchups in the mid-1990s with the most recent in 2003, when Letran defeated San Sebastian in the third and final game of the series, the only time it was held at the venue during the series.
In 2005 and 2008, the NCAA held majority of its games at the Astrodome while the UAAP played a series of games in the 2004 and 2007 seasons.
It also hosted the Philippine Basketball League during the mid-1990s and during the 2005 PBL Unity Cup Finals between the champion Welcoat Paintmasters and the Montana Jewels.
Other events[edit]
Sharon Cuneta, the daughter of then Pasay City mayor Pablo Cuneta held the first concert at the Astrodome on January 1993, one month before the PBA held its opening ceremonies.
Outside of sports, it also hosted several evangelical and political gatherings, the most recent by a political campaign for late-actor and Presidential candidate, Fernando Poe Jr. in 2004 and other functions by the opposition party.
It is also a usual gathering for evangelical events. Some religious organizations who have hosted the event are the Doulos for Christ World Harvest, Jesus Miracle Crusade, Eli Soriano's Ang Dating Daan and the frequent user of the astrodome is the JESUS CHRIST To God Be The Glory Church International who held their services every Sunday and some major event such as concert, anniversary among others.
The biggest event hosted by far was in 1994, when the World Wrestling Federation (now World Wrestling Entertainment) held a live event at the said venue featuring a WWE World Championship match between the then-champion Bret Hart and his brother, challenger Owen Hart.
The Cranberries also held their "To the Faithful Departed" tour in the Cuneta Astrodome in 1996.
On July 19, 1997 Rage Against The Machine performed live in Cuneta Astrodome as part of their Evil Empire Tour Asian leg. All proceeds after the Concert were given for the benefit of Pasay City General Hospital.
Sharon Cuneta's 1993 Concert was also held at the Astrodome and was dubbed as "Cuneta sa Cuneta".
Taekwondo competitions of the 2005 Southeast Asian Games were hosted in the venue.
The grand finals of Talentadong Pinoy was also held here on March 6, 2010, March 13, 2011 and in August 18, 2013.
Tau Gamma Phi also held its 39th and 42nd Founding Anniversary last October 4, 2007 and October 4, 2010.
In 2006, the Astrodome has been refurbished with new seats and a new floor for basketball games as the venue has shown a tremendous sign of deterioration over the past few years. It is the biggest renovation occurred at the Astrodome as past events resulted in minor refurbishment of the stadium.
The renovated Astrodome debuted on June 30, 2006 during Game Six of the 2006 PBA Philippine Cup semifinal series and the Philippines-Lebanon goodwill series in August the same year.

VideoGameologists.com is not an average gaming website. Here, we aren't focused on posting all of the latest and greatest video game news because we know that there are already hundreds of great websites that offer the same thing. Instead, we're here to provide you with a semi-formal opinion website filled with thoughtful and educated articles related to the gaming world. I think one of the most important things to note is that we are not journalists, most of us are still students working at earning our degrees and figuring out how to combine our goals in life with our love of video games. Because of this, our site can bring you a broader perspective on video games than other sites.
When we look at video games here, we look at four major categories of study. The first is design or how a game is crafted. How and what makes game different from other mediums such as film or books? Game design is one of those difficult to understand concepts that often don't cross the minds of the average gamer, and we are here to kindle a greater interests in what makes games special.
The second is art. Games aren't just a visual medium, but a combination of art and sound. Graphics, music, and cinematography all play an important role in making a video game a truly unique experience and how it affects the overall experience.
The third is story. Many would argue that the story being told in a video game is the most important aspect. The story helps us determine what actions we're going to take, it puts certain games into context, and creates emotional investments which causes us to stick with certain games until the very end. The most interesting aspect of a video game story is that it can employed to tell a story of a certain character or event, or be totally open for the player to make his or her own story. It can be simple but still effective or elaborate and engrossing.
The fourth is culture. To many of us, gaming is more than just our hobby, it is a part of our lives. Gaming has evolved from just clusters of nerds sitting around a TV screen to an entire culture of people with different heritages, beliefs, and backgrounds. Gaming culture manifests itself in the form of fan art, music, commentary, comments on the internet, social behavior etc. and we at Videogameologists are determined to take a closer look at this culture and find all the beautiful and ugly things about it.
While we hope to have a somewhat serious tone in our articles, this doesn't mean we have forgotten that video games are about having fun. So along with our serious stuff, we're also going to be posting all the cool and fun stuff we find in our Extra Credit category. We also encourage that if anyone wants to have their awesome video game related project showcased, to email us at [email protected] and we'll more than happy to post it on the front page.
We also have some forums set up where members can chat and talk about all the video game news they can find. We will be posting all the best news we can find there, but we encourage regular members to also post what they find (whether it be news, something funny, or an interesting article). We even have a section for members to post their own articles, of which, we might feature it on the front page.
Videogameologists is about taking our love of video games to the next level. It's about having fun by taking our fun seriously and our team hopes that everyone enjoys their time here.
Explanation from Drew: We take all the shit you guys complain so much about and tell you to quit your bitching or that you're right, that game is a humongous pile of nasty bananas. Or completely awesome. Probably the former. Maybe the latter. Could be both. The point is that we're gamers willing to challenge what everyone else thinks and shed light on not only the gaming experience, but components, regional influences, and marketing that affects games and their histories/releases.

Songwriters claim that before you can truly know your craft, a little bit of suffering is required. If that's true, no one knows the craft like D. Vincent Williams.
In a span of three years, D. Vincent had lost practically his entire family and most of his money. One night, with tears streaming down his face, he contemplated his fate.
"My wife left, I hadn't seen my baby daughter in six months and I had put myself several thousand dollars in debt," says D. Vincent. "I was at the bottom. All I wanted to do was run away."
Instead, he went to the piano next to his bed and wrote the beginning melody to a song. The following morning, he brought that melody â and his sad tale â to a writing session with Phillip White.
"I had never met him before," recalls Phillip, "but when he walked in, I could tell that something was wrong. Then he just started pouring his heart out. He said, 'I'm just trying to move on,' and I thought, that's what we're going to write about, moving on. And that became the title."
And they moved with rapid-fire speed. "I had the first couple of lines already, from another song that I was trying to write," says Phillip. "And D. Vincent had the melody. We started writing, and we just went from one line to the next. It was almost like having a conversation. In about an hour, we were done."
Adds D. Vincent, "Phillip and I shared the different kinds of scars and triumphs we had acquired over the years." And after this emotional outpouring, he and Phillip let their feelings flow.
"We just started crying after we finished it," says Phillip, drawing out a heavy sigh. "From that point, I knew I had made a very good friend."
He wasn't as certain about the song's potential. "A lot of times, when a song is that personal, it doesn't get cut," says Phillip. "And that's what we thought would happen. Of course, Rascal Flatts cut it, but then we were told that it probably wouldn't be a single."
Once again, though, odds were defied. "I'm Movin' On" hit the charts in 2001, and cracked the Top 5 last spring. For both writers, it was the biggest hit of their careers. "We know that a lot of fans have been touched by this song," says Phillip. "And that has touched us."

A Natural Urge to Help
Working in the civil rights field for nearly 35 years gives one a perspective on human behavior, both the good and the bad. People are exceptionally gracious when facing adversity, thoughtful when their problems are dealt with and generous in acknowledging assistance…..or not.
Even with this blog in the Jewish Journal, my partner, Joe Hicks, and I have been the recipients of some very laudatory responses, some articulate and thoughtful adversarial postings, and some downright nasty e-mails that didn't even get posted.
The roughest attacks we get generally relate to our "having blinders on" that prevent us from seeing the innate bigotry and hate that lies just below the surface of otherwise tolerant seeming Americans. One inveterate critic suggests that our view of an improving and more tolerant America is paving the road to another Auschwitz, " cause it looks like the same stupid game you morons played in Germany. We're Germans first, Jews second, then they'll accept us."
Today's New York Times' Science section offers some important support for those of us who believe that human nature bends in the direction of tolerance and co-operation among peoples.
In an article entitled, We May Be Born With An Urge To Help, the author, Nicholas Wade, describes some fascinating studies which suggest that "babies are innately sociable and helpful to others. Of course every animal must to some extent be selfish to survive. But the biologists also see in humans a natural willingness to help…..The helping behavior seems to be innate because it appears so early and before many parents start teaching children the rules of polite behavior."
And it isn't just American kids who might be subject to the good feelings on Sesame Street who exhibit this behavior. "It seems to occur across cultures that have different timetables for teaching social rules. And helping behavior can even be seen in infant chimpanzees under the right experimental conditions." The scientists cited conclude that "helping is a natural inclination, not something imposed by parents or culture….Empathy is an automated response over which we have limited control…..Children are altruistic by nature," though they are also naturally selfish. The author advises that parents should tip the balance toward social behavior.
Among the implications of the studies is that we should be mindful of our better natures as we fashion public policy, "Indeed, it is in our biological nature, not our political institutions, that we should put our trust, in his view. Our empathy is innate and cannot be changed or long suppressed. " Dr. Frans de Waal writes, "I'd argue that biology constitutes our greatest hope. One can only shudder at the thought that the humaneness of our societies would depend on the whims of politics, culture or religion."
Next nasty blog we get telling me how naïve our optimistic view of America's future is we'll send a link to today's New York Times.

There's a lot of baggage associated with being a stay-at-home father, and not all of it has to do with what's really important: Trying to raise a child who isn't a raging, overfilled douchebag. There are issues with shame, guilt, and fear that come from dealing with preconceived notions about masculinity and gender-norms, and not all of them relate to how you now use terms like "gender-norms" without smirking.
Children are rad. Marriage is rad. But going from "Work's finished/I'm bored/You yelled at me/I yelled at you/It's Friday/MY TEAM WON I'm going to the bar with my mates now byeeeeeeeee!" to cleaning up spilled food, doing all the housework, raising a scream-factory fueled by a refusal to sleep and hours of peek-a-boo, and then having to do it all again the next day is a massive change-up in both your life, and your understanding of stuff you simply just assumed were man-things men did because you got born with an extra appendage and so get to take advantage of millennia of patriarchy. It's a hell of a switch, but you learn some good things while dealing with the not-so-good, like…
The Boredom
"You'll never slow down once you have kids!" is a thing you hear constantly from the time you find out your girl is pregnant to whenever she becomes unpregnant. You imagine yourself covered in food and poop, chasing a naked infant through a messy house, diaper in hand, treading on toys and cursing. "Big deal" you think, "I've been to college. Replace "infant" with "Steve," and that's a typical Saturday.
But it isn't always like that. A lot of times, it's just guarding a bookcase so the rambunctious baby can't pull them all out and pulp the pages. So you get into a standoff where your kid is simply pretending to play with a Weeble while eyeing you off, and you're sitting in front of a bookcase thinking stuff you never thought would cross your mind, like "I wonder what the ink used in the '70s reprints of Butts, Guts and Nuts contains? Is it toxic? And was the paper-making process back then the same? I wonder how they did that? What kind of chemicals are used turning trees into pages for use in such a masterpiece?" Of course, the internet no doubt has all those answers, but the second you check your phone to find out is when the devious, craven baby-mind knows you are weak, and the next thing you know the chapter Nut-Stuffed Butts is reduced to so much drool on your kid's chin. You'll find yourself having moments like this a lot; children require constant supervision, but that doesn't mean they're entertaining.
Tolerance! Oodles of it. All of it! Seriously, having to listen to whoever drone on and on about whatever-the-fudge is a breeze now! No more telling your wife's friends to stuff it with a peed-on sack! No more getting yelled at in front of everyone! No more being made to sleep in the doghouse while she calls immigration to try and get you deported! It's simply a better way to live. Your colleagues, friends, and especially your wife's friends will thank you for being the $#!+-soaker everyone needs in their life, and you'll be that; not because you should, but because you can. The beating of a gnat's wings bothers you more than uninteresting, undesired hot air.
Newsflash: Raising kids is hard. Even if you're only mildly diligent as a parent, you still try and make sure your child has the basics, like manners, appreciation for kindness, and a bangin' hairdo.
If you have a daughter, it can get very messy. Is she getting too bloke-y? Can I teach her to girl right, but not in a way that's only a man's idea of what a girl is? As with a lot of parenting, your best source of advice is from people who have already instilled those basics into a tiny human. Finally, all those friends who turned into boring jerks because they had kids will be useful to you for a change! However, as a man, it's hard to swallow your pride and call your male workaday friends to ask for advice. Why? Here's an example, based on some responses I've received:
•"The first thing to do is to not be a &*$$%. Marry a quiet woman you kind of hate, and then make her do it. Problem solved!"
•"I'm trying to work. Isn't there a sewing circle you can hit up?"
•"It's all about the language you use. Here are some key words and phrases: &*$$%, period, big girl's blouse, no balls, dogsbody, um… did I say &*$$%? I'm pretty sure I said &*$$%. Wait, you know this is just me calling you a &*$$%, right? Christ, don't say that stuff around your kids!"
Meanwhile, chatting to female friend-parents is great, and comes with amazing advice, but there is a divide there. Moms do certain things with kids, and Dads do other things. Moms know what it's like to carry a growing life around for nine months. Dads do not. There are some aspects of parenting that simply do not translate.
You learn. Advice or no, you learn. Your child is a person, and he or she will always be that wilful, choice-making human being no matter what; all you can do is guide them as best you can. There's a freedom in this that keeps you from freaking out too bad about whether putting berets in your kid's hair is patriarchal and instils the pre-supposed values of society blah blah blah.
Another thing you learn? Not to give a single good-goddamn about living up to what men are supposed to be doing, like, I dunno, cutting down lumberjacks and building a Home Depot with them. Do I tea-party now? I tea-party like a legend and champion of noble causes. And I don't care about answering the door with ribbons in my hair and teeny-tiny tea cups dangling from my pinkies. I love my daughter, not what you think.
While there is a certain kind of freedom that comes with abandoning certain male stereotypes, there's just no way to unlearn everything you've picked up. You cannot divest yourself from decades of trying to live by that stuff, it's impossible. So while you're busy trying to make sure your child is around good influences, it's really hard not to think, deep down, "Is my kid going to think I'm a gigantic &*$$% when they become aware of how things usually work? Will they respect me less? Will they joke and snicker with their friends as a way of channelling that shame into humor, calling me "Mum" behind my back?" It's a concern I have, and it troubles me deeply. One person telling her it's okay for the Daddy to be the primary carer is nothing compared to all the evidence around them that says otherwise.
And, as mentioned previously, I just avoid calling a lot of my male friends now for reasons that should be clear. Though I worry about how that kind of reaction affects me, because that means it affects my kid. If I become embittered and cop a "Ah, who needs 'em?" attitude, what does that teach her?
I used to smirk so, so hard when I'd hear women talk of "gender roles." I'd think "That's adorable that you think you need to talk about this! Just go and do what you want! I'm not oppressing you, and I'm not stopping you!"
But I totally understand now how what society thinks you should be doing is a huge, huge thing. I can't speak on it from a woman's perspective, but I can see now that what "society, man!" thinks isn't just a crappy excuse for whatever you need excuses for. There are expectations placed on you from the culture-at-large, and if you don't live up to them, you're judged to hell and back for it.
And it's all so, so stupid. I'm grateful for that realization, for getting an actual idea about something I thought meant nothing. I know that other parents will judge me if my daughter wants to wear a G.I. Joe outfit to storytime at the library. But I could not give less of a crotch-thrusting helldamn.
The Stigma
I've touched on this in a few of the other entries, but this is what it all circles around to, why I'm writing this for in the first place: I am a man, and I should be earning a wage for my family, not taking the easy road of raising a child. So, first thing's first: Eat a crusty %!(% if you think that.
Seriously. After a few months of stay-at-home fatherhood, I used to daydream about digging ditches. At the time, that sounded like the easiest kind of heaven there was compared to dealing with a teething child day-in, day-out. It also assuaged my feelings of guilt and shame just thinking about working and making jokes about how crazy women are with my workmates, even though I had a goddamn female child within three feet of me.
I've relaxed some, but still, everywhere I go with my daughter I have my eyes cast downward a little, so as if in agreement with the little voice in my mind saying "Everyone knows you're worthless. They talking about you. You should be at work right now, but instead you're shamelessly out in public!"
That little voice gets easier and easier to ignore, and now, if called upon to do so, I will dance the hell out of my daughter's current favorite jam, "Turkey In The Straw," with a stuffed rabbit taped to my head and my shoes on my hands. In public. It took a while to start to learn, and its still sinking in, but this has nothing to do with me. Other people's perceptions, my shame and guilt, it's all a load of crap. This is about the fact that my daughter gets to eat thanks to one working parent, and gets to be raised primarily by the other. We're trying to grow a decent person here, and judgements, mental self-abuse, caring what others think (within reason), and unsolicited opinions do nothing but get in the way of that.
So here's to you, judgemental manly-man making yourselves feel more masculine by denigrating others. This "Turkey In The Straw" dance is for you.

Late 15th century (in the sense 'trail, marks left behind'): the noun from Old French trac, perhaps from Low German or Dutch trek 'drawing, pull'; the verb (current senses dating from the mid 16th century) from French traquer or directly from the noun.
A 15th-century word that perhaps came from the same Dutch source as trek. The first meaning was 'a mark or trail left by a person, animal or vehicle'—the sort of tracks used by trains was first described in 1805. The expression the wrong side of the tracks, 'a poor or less prestigious part of a town', originated in America from the idea of a town divided by a railroad track and dates from the early 20th century.

San Jose State's season is at a tipping point entering Saturday night's game at Hawaii.
It's still too early to begin panicking about its three-game losing streak, but a fourth straight loss could be a damaging blow.
Senior wide receiver Chandler Jones thinks the Spartans (1-3, 0-1 Mountain West Conference) have what it takes to get back on track.
"We got a taste of what it was like to win last year, and we don't want to go back to losing games," Jones said. "Losing the past three games, it's been tough, but we've been in worse situations and we're just ready to turn it around."
Jones and many of the other seniors were part of SJSU's 1-12 season in 2010, which made last year's 11-2 campaign all the more rewarding and makes the players confident they have what it takes to bounce back.
"We've got a lot of guys who have been in tough situations and know what to do, know what to say and know how to lead these young guys," quarterback David Fales said. "We're just getting on the same page still and figuring out what we need to do and need to change. We'll be fine. We're going to be good. We've got too many experienced veterans on this team to not turn it around."
The Spartans will have to do it against the Rainbow Warriors (0-4, 0-2), who are fresh from scoring 34 unanswered points in a near comeback against No. 23 Fresno State. Hawaii lost the game 42-37.
Hawaii has played four quarterbacks this year, and it's unclear who will start Saturday.
Ohio State transfer Taylor Graham started the first three before getting injured. Ikaika Woolsey, a walk-on from Salesian High-Richmond, started last week before being relieved by Sean Schroeder, a left-handed transfer from Duke who orchestrated the comeback against Fresno.

VM is equipped with years of experience as a construction and project management company operating in Mozambique. Over that time we have had many opportunities to prove our mettle, successfully completing projects that have been both varied and challenging in scope.
One significant challenge has been the remote location of the majority of our project sites. Building on a remote island, or on a steep dune in an environmentally-sensitive area with restricted access, presents a unique set of careful planning and logistical requirements. Our spirit of innovation has not failed us yet, and we have drawn on both our creativity and our intimate knowledge of state-of-the-art building techniques to deliver world-class builds – no matter how remote the location.
VM's forte is quality developments. World-class construction standards, top-quality fittings, and custom-designed doors and window frames, lovingly crafted in VM's in-house joinery, are the hallmarks of a VM project. High-end tourism resorts, luxury villas and distinctive residential homes are therefore well-suited to VM's capabilities, with upmarket offices and warehousing also falling within VM's scope.

Isuppli tears down the Galaxy Tab
It's just a big smartphone really
ANALYST OUTFIT Isuppli has done a tear down of Samsung's Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 and decided that rather than it being a tablet it is just a large smartphone.
Looking at all the parts Isuppli said they added up to $205.22. This is significantly less than Isuppli's $264.27 estimate for the 16GB 3G version of Apple's Ipad.
However, the lower cost is largely the result of the Galaxy Tab's smaller and lower resolution display compared to the Ipad.
The outfit claims that Samsung did not try to match the Ipad on a feature-by-feature basis, and just knocked out a larger version of its Galaxy S smartphone. That is not necessarily bad, as the Ipad is just an Ipod Touch with a bigger screen, but it sounds disappointing.
Andrew Rassweiler, director, principal analyst and teardown services manager for Isuppli said that while the design approach makes the Galaxy Tab less expensive to produce than the Ipad 3G, it also results in a product that lacks the same usability.
The Galaxy Tab's screen resolution, size and technology are not at the same level as the Ipad. This is a critical difference, given the fact that the display is a key differentiating factor for the Ipad, he said.
The Galaxy Tab does have some features not found in the Ipad, including a gyroscopic Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) sensor, likely for use in gaming.
It also comes with a primary 3MP autofocus camera along with a 1.3MP front-facing or video conferencing camera. There is built-in support for Adobe's Flash to provide more universal web browsing, which is notably lacking from the iPad.
When the $9.35 manufacturing cost of the Galaxy Tab is added in, the combined materials and production cost amounts to $214.57. Given the fact that it is selling for £529.99 it appears that Samsung is making a huge margin and not trying too hard to beat Apple on price.
Rassweiler said that both the Galaxy Tab and the Galaxy S smartphone feature a Samsung Hummingbird 1GHz ARM-based CPU and an Infineon Technologies baseband processor that controls the wireless telephony and communications functions.
All that being the case, the Galaxy Tab is a functional mobile phone as well as tablet computing device, running 3G (UMTS/HSPA) in three frequency bands.
The Galaxy Tab has a 7-inch TFT LCD display with 1,024x600 resolution. In contrast, the Ipad has a larger 9.7-inch display with 1,024x768 resolution. While also having a TFT LCD display, the Ipad adds In-Plane Switching technology, which enhances the viewing angle and picture quality.
Isuppli estimates the cost of the touchscreen display subsystem in the Galaxy Tab at $57, while it reckons the Ipad screen costs $98. The screen is the most expensive part of a tablet, accounting for 27.8 per cent of the Galaxy Tab's total bill-of-materials (BOM) cost.
The memory subsystem, at a cost of $51, represents 24.9 per cent of the Galaxy Tab cost. It has 16GB of Multilevel Cell (MLC) NAND flash memory from SanDisk. It also has a Samsung multichip memory package combining 8Gb of MLC Flex-OneNAND, 4Gb of Double Data Rate (DDR) mobile DRAM and 1Gb of OneDRAM.
The mechanical and electromechanical components represent the third most expensive parts in the Galaxy Tab, at a cost of $15.22, or 7.4 per cent of the BOM.
The user interface subsystem costs $13.87, or 6.8 per cent of the total cost. This includes the gyroscope, a 3-axis device from STMicroelectronics. It also features a capacitive touchscreen controller from Atmel and an LVDS transmitter from Texas Instruments.
The Samsung supplied battery costs $10.60, or 5.2 per cent of the BOM. µ

EAST PRAIRIE -- The Eagles Aerie 4062 along with The Mississippi County Boxing Team will be presenting an exciting night of boxing in Dexter on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. There will be teams coming in from Jefferson City, Poplar Bluff, Mississippi County, St. Louis and Hannibal to produce some hard-core amateur boxing action.
"I am hoping for an exciting evening for all involved," said coach Brad Wick, about the upcoming show. "I would really love to see a packed house for this show, its all about the kids involved and getting it to where their home crowd can see them in action."
Mississippi County Boxing and the Eagles Aerie 4062 teamed up for this fundraiser to bring something a little different to the area. Also, with coach Wick wanting to expand his operations and hopefully get more youth involved with his program from all over the area. At this time, he already carpools with some of the youth from the Dexter area to the gym in East Prairie so they can train.
"Overall, I feel this gym has helped some kids out and gave them a different outlook on life, whether it has to do with boxing or not," said Wick. "They have learned a lot and the same goes for myself. I have no major background in the sport, no pro career for them to look up to, just someone who loves the sport as much as they do and is willing to take the time to get them involved with it. As long as I have a fighter in the gym that wants to train, I will train them. This will keep me active in the sport and keep the hopes that one day there might be a champion to come out of this community. I don't preach to kids, they don't want to hear the same thing over and over again. I teach them through an activity that can basically be a blueprint to life."
Almost all the people involved with the show coming up in Dexter are volunteers, including all of the coaches, doctors and officials. A lot of these folks come from as far as four to five hours aways to be here for these kids and that's a wonderful thing. This is what makes the sport so good for the youth, having people take time from their lives to make time for the youth in and around their communities.
So, whether you're a boxing fan or just interested in seeing what goes on in the sport, come on out to The Eagles Aerie 4062 on Saturday for the show. The ticket prices are general admission $5, ringside $10 and VIP $25 (includes ammenities). To reserve tickets, contact the Eagles in Dexter 573
-624-1688 or contact Coach Wick at 573-380-0383. Come on out and support these two great organizations.
The fight card for the evening looks like this;
1. Tyler"Lil Dynamite" Latamondeer/MCB vs. Armondo Reeves/Jefferson City
2. Billy Mace/MCB. vs. Tucker Davis/KO Fight Gym
3. Kaleb Johnson/KO Fight Gym vs. David Miller/Jefferson City

Reviews for this vacation condo rental in Treasure Island, Florida
Tish Belza
Toronto, Ontario, Can.
Super location
April 22, 2013
The unit couldn't have been place in a better location - directly across the street from the beach and an unobstructed view of the beach. Right next door to a Publix. However, the unit itself is only adequate: the main bedroom is fine but the guest bedroom boasts a Queen bed - not so. It is two singles/twins that converts into a day bed - they are uncomfortable. The place was very clean and Vacation Home Rentals is a very responsive company. I would do business with them again.
Owner's reply:
Thank you for taking the time to write the review and let others know of your experience. I'm sorry for the uncomfortable bed situation. This has not been brought to our attention previously, and we will take your comments to the owner of the condo in an effort to have the uncomfortable bedding replaced ASAP.
Thank you.

Beautiful views....but
March 18, 2013
The views were wonderful. The water pressure in the master bathroom and kitchen was bad. We ended up just using the second bathroom shower. The second bedroom was small and only had a daybed. The kitchen wasn't very well stock (no mixing bowls, measuring cups, measuring spoons, baking pans). We were hoping to find a place to rent for a month but would not do so here because of the above issues.

Not pleased!!
March 2, 2013
My reservaations at the Palms of Treasure Island were cancelled the end of November. I had already made and purchased by airline tickets. Needless to say, it was difficult to find a place to stay for a month at this late date. However, I did manage to find something, on my own, at the last minute. I had rented through Vicinity Rental. I was not pleased, AT ALL.

Our condo was clean and supplied with everything we needed for our 2 1/2 weeks stay including a good supply of linens & bath towels as well as beach items, Public was just next store and it was a short walk to the beach and many wonderful restaurants .The view of the intercostal waterway was a real treat . Four adults stayed very comfortable with room for more .This is an ideal location for relaxing in the Florida sun and for fishing on the dock .We will return next year for sure .

I Used This Service To Inquire About A Beach Rental, But Never Got A Reply Back. The Service Sent A Mail Explaning That A Property Owner Would Contact Me, But No One Ever Did. Now There Asking Me To Provide A Review For My Recent Stay. No Thanks, I'll Stay Away From This Way To Rent A Condo.

No Response
May 18, 2011
Very disapointed that the owner or their rep did not ever respond to our our request to rent the property!! Ended up going to Mexico where the people truly want you there. We have tried to stay in Florida several times and have always had a negative experience, we have been to Mexico about 20 times in the last 7 years. Its a shame people in the U.S. do not have the same attitude as do some of the other countries that want visitors. I cannot understand why no one responded to our request, a big waste of my time!!

The unit we stayed in was clean, modern, roomy and close enough to the beach. The kitchen was stocked with a coffeemaker, some pans, tupperwares, silverware, cooking utensils, and dishes. Three adults stayed in the unit and it was pretty quiet and relaxing. We just had to cross the street to go to the beach. There is a Publix right nextdoor which is also pretty convenient. The one main negative was the lady on the phone told me we would have a gulfview. Since we were on the first floor, we actually had a view of the busy street and buildings across the street. Also, the second bathroom didn't have hot water in the shower. There was a second bedroom but instead of a real bed, it was a sofabed. I slept on it pretty comfortably, but thought they'd be better off just putting a real bed in that room. Overall, it is a nice condo and the price is hard to beat.

Experience an "Unforgettable" performance by film and stage actor Jeff Obafemi Carr as he performs his one-man show "Route 66: Finding Nat King Cole" at East Central University's Hallie Brown Ford Fine Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
Tickets are $18 and may be purchased online at tickets.ecok.edu or at the box office the night of the show.
"Route 66: Finding Nat King Cole" is a phenomenal one-man show that takes the audience backstage to the dressing room of the actor tasked with bringing to life the music and memory of the great Nat King Cole, while struggling to maintain his own distinctive voice. The audience is taken on a remarkable journey filled with humor, sentimentality, and yes, the songs of the "greatest generation."
Full of storytelling, Carr reveals little known details about the life of Cole while singing some of his greatest hits including "When I Fall in Love," "Straighten Up and Fly Right," "Smile" and "Unforgettable," to name a few.
The performer tells of how his own father's love of Cole's music rubbed off on him. He recounts Cole's youth, during which he spent much time daydreaming about making music. And he touches on Cole's struggles against racial prejudice.
To ask questions, contact the Hallie Brown Ford Fine Arts Center Box Office, (580) 559-5751 or visit tickets.ecok.edu.

In this Tuesday, May 1, 2012 photo, a young vendor wears a veil as she walks along an alley in Timbuktu, Mali. In addition to adult women, girls and young women have begun covering their heads in Timbuktu, fearful of drawing attention from Islamist group Ansar Dine as they seek to impose Shariah on northern Mali. While government soldiers were fighting each other this week for control of the capital Bamako, Islamist fighters were asserting control over the Texas-sized northern half of the country, setting up a possible showdown with Tuareg nationalist rebels, who are secular and who seized northern Mali in March alongside the Islamists.
