More than 30 years ago, Wayne Desselle caught a 21.25-pound sheepshead in Bayou St. John that must have looked like a discolored red snapper. To this day, it still ranks as Louisiana's largest-ever sheepshead caught on rod and reel, and is nearly 7 pounds heavier than the No. 2 fish.
Good luck finding a fish that healthy in Bayou St. John today. If New Orleans' most endearing waterway were a patient, it would be in a coma and on life support, a victim of gross malpractice. For a while, its days looked number.
But a new medical team has taken over the case, and it's confident its got the cure -- an injection of simple saline that will bring the patient new life and vigor.
The trouble with Bayou St. John began when well-meaning authorities nearly a century ago installed a water-control gate to keep residents along the bayou from having to deal with soggy floors whenever tropical storms or strong east winds raised water levels in Lake Pontchartrain and, ultimately, Bayou St. John.
The gate worked fine for a while -- it could be left open during normal tidal conditions and closed off when high water threatened the area. But over the years, that changed, according to Mark Schexnayder, deputy assistant secretary with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
"(The gate) got rusted partially shut, so you had very little water flow and very little nutrient flow, very few larval fish coming into the system," he said. "You had poor habitat when they got in there, so we identified that as one of the main things we had to do first and foremost."
In addition, siltation in the area often prevents any water at all from reaching more inland parts of the bayou, said Schexnayder, who sits on a committee that has developed and is implementing a plan to restore outstanding fishing on Bayou St. John.
"It's kind of a sandbar and kind of some mud they put in there without a permit to put the bridge in there," he said. "A sandbar did develop because there's no water flow back and forth, so if you go out there right now when you have a northerly wind and low water in the lake, you see there's no connection from Lake Pontchartrain to Bayou St. John."
Schexnayder and a host of volunteers have been working for years to improve the habitat in Bayou St. John, but key elements of the plan are the removal of the old water-control gate and the sandbar to improve water flow into the area.
"You have that going on to a small degree right now," Schexnayder said. "You can catch crabs in Bayou St. John; there are barnacles in City Park. I mean, we have some estuarine recruitment, just not enough of it."
Work is moving along quickly. The old gate, located just north of the intersection of Bayou St. John and Robert E. Lee Boulevard, has been almost entirely dismantled by contractors, and the sandbar should be dredged out by the summer, Schexnayder said.
The removal of the old water-control structure was made possible by the installation of a much bigger gate that is part of the region's overall flood-protection system, which has seen significant upgrades since Hurricane Katrina.
"There's still protection; there's still a gate. It's not like we're just opening up the bayou to the lake at all times," Schexnayder said.
The newer gate is between Lakeshore Drive and Robert E. Lee Boulevard, and is tied into the levee system. After the old structure and the sandbar are entirely removed, the newer structure may appear closed even when it's open, Schexnayder said.
"There's the big gate on the structure, and they also have smaller sluice gates -- they're actually pretty large -- that are under the water that you can't see. That's where a lot of water comes through," he said.
Officials will monitor the water in the bayou to make sure levels don't get dangerously high.
"We've invested a lot of money in a water-monitoring system," Schexnayder said. "We're doing a study for the Flood Protection Authority and Orleans Levee District. We're very careful to make sure whatever we do is safe as far as water levels in the bayou, so when water levels get low, they can either open the gates or they can use the sluice gates, and we're hoping when the study results are in place we can actually open the (large) gates during the wintertime or fall when water levels are safe. You may be able to see the gates open a little more than they are now."
Schexnayder said the expectation is that as water flows in and out of the bayou, larval fish will come with it. In order to have a vibrant, thriving fishery, however, habitat upgrades have to be made.
"We can get all the small fish recruited into the bayou we want, but if they get there and there's no groceries, they're not going to get big," Schexnayder said. "The habitat isn't where it should be, which is why we're planting shoreline plants, and you know, there used to be a lot of submerged aquatic vegetation in Bayou St. John, and if we can bring that back also, that's going to provide a lot more habitat."
Both shoreline and subaquatic vegetation are critical for providing post-larval fish with food and protection, Schexnayder said.
Bayou St. John anglers currently catch a few bass, some catfish and even a redfish here and there, but the days are coming when even speckled trout will once again call the bayou home.
"There's still going to be freshwater fish in there," Schexnayder said. "We have a nice balance of people who like to catch catfish and bass in Bayou St. John, and we'll continue to have those, but the speckled trout will definitely be back."

JACKSON, MI. — After three tight games, the Lumen Christi High School boys basketball team finally was able to breathe somewhat easy at the end of a game Friday night.
Lumen Christi stormed to a 15-point halftime lead and withstood a little run by Northwest in the third quarter before beating the Mounties 60-39 in a game at Northwest that featured two 3-0 teams in the early part of the season.
"This is the first time that we finally put a team away," said Lumen Christi coach Rich Karasek, whose Titans won their first three games by scores of 54-51, 55-49 and 55-50 in overtime. "We stuck with the rebounding in the third quarter and stayed with what got us there instead of starting to try to do different things."
Northwest scored the first five points of the game before the Titans took the lead with a 13-0 run and led 13-8 at the end of the first quarter. The lead extended to 15 at halftime (31-16) before Northwest battled back and cut the deficit to eight (39-31) early in the fourth quarter.
"In the third quarter we played our hearts out," Northwest coach Justin Brown said. "It was unfortunate that we missed eight free throws in the third quarter that would have got us right back with them."

Molly's Story
In October 2011, my father was killed in an accident, we were going through a rough time and I had decided I was not going to foster any more dogs for a while.
When we received a phone call about Molly, a six year old Yorkshire terrier from a Puppy Mill in Missouri, I figured it was a sign from my father, he loved dogs, always had a rescue dog and he loved visiting whenever I had a new foster dog.
Molly was in really bad shape, like all puppy mill dogs. This was in November of 2011. We fostered her for about a month, until we realized that she wasn't just a foster, we were falling in love with her.
Within one month, we decided to adopt her. Molly was different from other Puppy Mill fosters. She wouldn't come near anyone, wouldn't bark, and kept to herself most of the time.
This went on for the first few weeks. After a few weeks of Molly entering our home and hearts, she was following me everywhere. I never had a dog that was so attached to me. She was so affectionate and loving. She didn't go to anyone but me.
When I would leave the house, she would sit there and wait right by that door until I came home, never left that spot. When I asked her for a kiss, I was covered with them.
During the summer she would be in the pool with me on her float. She loved it…that was one of my best summers.
One night I noticed that she was having trouble getting up one step. The next morning it was obvious that there was something seriously wrong. She was breathing heavy, trying to catch her breath and her stomach bloated.
We rushed her to the vets, and after taking x-rays, blood work and a sonogram, the doctor told me that Molly's liver has failed. There was nothing they could do because her liver was ready to erupt.
We could not believe it, no prior signs of this…it just happened overnight. It was one of the worst days of my life as a foster/adoptive parent. We tried to keep her as comfortable as possible, but the following week, it was evident that it was time. Time to say goodbye to one of the most loving dogs I have ever owned.
I promised Molly that I would work hard to expose and help close down as many puppy mills as possible, with the help of other rescues and groups, so that other dogs would not have to live their life like she had during her first 7 years.
Puppy Mills
Mill dogs are tortured and abused and are used to give birth to puppies heat after heat.
The vet guessed at least 8 litters were produced from Molly. Mill dogs are not vet checked, they are cash crops, that is all they are to them.
I was glad we were chosen to love her the last 11 months of her life. I know she was finally not a prisoner to the puppy mill and was living her life as a loved dog and enjoying every moment of it. She lived like a queen here.
We want to put a stop to these puppy mills, so our fur babies don't suffer like they do.
Molly's Wish, Inc. will educate the public and show you exactly what a puppy mill is.
May Molly Rest In Peace now as she is over the Rainbow Bridge. Watch Video of 1st Annual Walk October 2013
Readers Comments
Molly's story hit me hard! My first foster Hope ended up to be a Chinese Crested instead of a Yorkie. She was thrown out of a moving car, one winter night. There was one house on that road, and the retired couple were watching the snow falling so they saw it all. I loved hope, like you Molly…Hope was also my Velcro girl…she was the love of my life…still is, even though she's been at the Bridge 3 years. I too was in the kitchen making something to eat. I looked down at Hope, and she had ballooned up almost right before my eyes. I rushed her to my vet, and found out she had liver cancer…it went so fast. She was only 7yrs old, and had been with us for 3 years. I still cry for her. She knew me like no other… My heart hurts for you… Thank you for your fight to close mills…that's what I strive to do also. I foster those that need it most, and might never find a home…but they become part of ours… Hugs,

Linda Selzer says:That was one of the most beautiful and saddest things I've read. But how wonderul that Molly knew love, even if it was only for a short time. I adopted a puppy mill dog from an Amish mill. I had fallen head over heels in love with her before I set eyes on her when I read her sad story. I have had her now almost 5 years. She has come a very long way, but still carries alot of baggage from the mills. But she is the sweetest dog I have ever met, and I am willing to bet that is true of all mill and/or abused dogs who finally find love. It is a joy to see her grow and become a dog, although it still breaks my heart that she never was a puppy and never learned what a toy is or how to pay with one. Let's get rid of mills and commercial breeders and pet shops. Dogs are not cash crops! They are man's best friend. Linda Selzer Boston
Barb d says:Together is the key We all need to fight this as one even though we have our own groups we belong to. The most important thing to remember is the suffering mill dogs. Barb d
KIRI says:MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES ON THE LOST OF YOUR DAD AND THEN MOLLY. I 'm so glad that Molly got to experience real Love and Tenderness for a time in her life. Thank-you! What can we do to help regulate the breeding of these wonderful animals. I was lucky to have my baby Kali for nine years. She was my companion and kept me going. I suffer from clinical depression for over 45 years. Kali gave me the desire and motivated me to try to move forward. This Easter, 03/31/12, I took her out for our daily walk. While we were enjoy the day, this fierce German Shepard leaped out of the woods and in less than 5 seconds she snatched my nine year old baby out of my leash and mauled her to death by puncturing her to death. She lasted less than 5 minuets and she was gone. Its only been 2 weeks, but the isolation is terrible. Unfortunately, I am temporarily living in my sister's home, we live by her rules no more dogs. Thank-God that In a year I hope to have my only home and than I will be able to make my own decisions..If I make it until then, I will have my own dog and I want to help to do what I can to keep dogs safe. Any ideas how to keep dogs healthy and help those that I can? I am sure that my neighbors dog, the German Shepard, was mistreated by its owner. so I harbor no ill- will toward him. His owner put him down in order to appear to be blameless. But In the three times I saw him with the dog he was always mistreating him. I think he was trying to break down the dog and make him a guard dog and didn't know what he was doing, nor did he care. Sending you Blessings…..
Sharon Fay says:
I am so sorry to hear this..and for your dog to go in that way, has got to be the worse. I know from experience and the picture is constantly in my mind, the day a dog, got to our bird, a quaker parrot that we had for 9 years….and this dog just got ahold of him and broke his neck. That vision will always be in my mind, and I just can't let it go. So, I'm sure you will always remember the horrible death your dog went through and didn't deserve it. We always need to go on and knowing that the years that we had our beloved furfriends, we gave them our all. I sympathize with you and your in my thoughts and prayers….and hope some day you do get another one to love and give it a happy loving home. I'm sure that is what your baby would want you to do. But, no other baby will take it's place as we know, will just help, fill the voidl.

Bubble + Squeak
I remember mum cooking bubble + squeak for all of us when we were kids. It was basically all the leftover veggies from the night before cooked up in a hot cast iron pan until lovely and golden with lots of crispy bits that tasted amazing. Well I love to follow a little family tradition and often make bubble + squeak at home when I want some warm and healthy comfort food. It takes around 15 minutes to make and I love to serve it topped with a sunny side fried organic egg. I love to use a combination of thin sliced cauliflower, fennel and leek; you can also add chunks of potato and sauté until crispy and golden brown. This is pure comfort food that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
What's great about it:
Fennel is the perfect vegetable for digestive support and can help with gastrointestinal disturbances such as bloating. Cauliflower is rich in sulphur that works as an anti-inflammatory that can support digestion and boost your immune system. Leeks are part of the veggie family called Allium Vegetables, the same as garlic and onions. They contain the flavonoid kaempferol that can help protect the body from oxidative stress. The combination of all these veggies also act like pre-biotic in the digestive system that help to stimulate the favorable growth and activity of the good probiotic bacteria.
1 leek, halved, washed and thinly sliced
1 fennel bulb – ( 200 g/ 7 oz) thinly sliced
1/2 small cauliflower (400 g / 14 oz) thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
sea salt + ground black pepper to taste
few sprigs of thyme
2 free range eggs
Combine leek, fennel and cauliflower into a pan with the olive oil.
Season with a little sea salt and pepper then add the thyme.
Cook over a medium heat for about 15 minutes – tossing the pan every few minutes, so that the veggies cook evenly and start to crisp up nicely in the pan.
When the veggies are ready, lighly pan fry the egg in a seperate pan over a low – medium heat, making sure that the yolk is still lovely and runny.
Serve the bubble + squeak in the pan or on individual plates topped with a sunny side organic egg.
Serves 2
Optional Extras:
- Add cooked sweet potato in place of the cauliflower.
- Add a handful of shredded kale when sautéing the cauliflower, leek and fennel.
- Squeese over a little lemon at the end of cooking and fold through baby spinach leaves

So I hear this company created a new package for the BMW 5 Series M Sport. It's the current F10 model so we might as well take a second look.
This company is called Japan Skipper and it's starting to get pretty hard to figure out where it's based at or where it's originating from.
All jokes aside, the Japanese tuner came up with a pretty acceptable package for one of our favorite cars. There really is nothing to give it away.

Jackie Robinson, Kobe Bryant and Lance Armstrong are three of the biggest sports names making headlines in today's news.
On this day 64 years ago, Jackie Robinson broke the modern era color barrier in major league baseball.
That day, one man's talents superseded the color of his skin, baseball and other professional sports are now improved all for the better since.
Kobe Bryant, continues to generate talk for a homophobic slur that he uttered in front of a camera during a live broadcast.
Now he's looking to repair the damage that he has caused and is reportedly teaming up with the organization Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), in order to help educated more people and basketball fans about the homosexual community.
Also, Lance Armstrong has just been linked to an Italian doctor who was once accused of giving athletes banned performance enhancing drugs.
Now what?
The updates should shed more light on these topics and more.

Grandma's Zwieback Rolls RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 3 5
When Mother baked zweiback rolls—which means "twice baked"—she'd guard them, lest they disappear quickly! She would bake them on Sundays when friends came by for "fsapa" a meal of cold meat, cheese, jelly and coffee.
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
- 6 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
- 2 cups scalded milk, cooked
- Dissolve yeast and sugar in water; set aside. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups flour, salt, shortening, milk and yeast mixture. Beat well. Add enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic about 6-8 minutes. Dough should be soft. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl; cover and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down and divide into four pieces. Divide three of the pieces into eight pieces each; shape into smooth balls and place on greased baking sheets. Divide remaining dough into 24 balls. Press 1 small ball atop each larger ball. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until golden.
- If Cooking for Two: Freeze baked rolls in heavy-duty freezer bags or freezer containers. Thaw when ready to eat. Yield: 24 rolls.

By Kevin Davies
September 27, 2011 | First Base | Twelve months ago, we published a special issue of Bio•IT World dedicated to "The Road to the $1,000 Genome." While we didn't expect to reach that momentous if somewhat arbitrary threshold so soon, there's no doubt we're getting very close. This past summer, Illumina announced yet another drop in its personal genome sequencing service, dropping the introductory individual price below $10,000. For academic and pharma customers seeking whole genome sequencing services, the cost per genome is now as low as $4,000, competition being driven by the emergence of many new service providers, and even one or two sequencing service brokers, such as Denmark's BlueSEQ, offering to find the right sequence and analysis partner for a client's needs.
As the cost of whole-genome sequencing halves every five months or so, the focus inevitably shifts to the cost of analyzing and interpreting the genome. The task of analyzing the flood of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data is likened by the Broad Institute's Matthew Trunnell to driving in a snowstorm. "If we just waited for the roads to be ploughed, it would be really easy, but we have to white-knuckle it now," rather than wait however long for the perfect platform, with negligible errors, long read lengths, and high throughput. Perhaps seeking inspiration from a well-known 'next-generation' expert, the Broad's upstream NGS pipeline is humorously named Picard, which feeds into a disease-specific pipeline appropriately dubbed Firehose. Agility is at a premium, says Trunnell, but NGS is still posing tough questions for the IT crowd five years later. "It's new to us," says Trunnell. "We're not high-energy physics!"
In our 2011 genome informatics special issue, we offer a collection of features, profiles, and interviews around the latest trends in NGS and genome informatics. Perhaps the most gratifying story in genome interpretation this year is the work of Elizabeth Worthey and colleagues at the Medical College of Wisconsin (page 19). Worthey, whom I had the pleasure of interviewing this summer in Copenhagen, played a pivotal role in the much publicized case of Nicholas Volker, a sick Wisconsin boy whose genome was sequenced (almost as a last resort), resulting in a positive diagnosis and therapy. The Volker case highlights the vast potential of clinical genome sequencing, even though—as Worthey readily admits—the gratifying outcome in that case is by no means guaranteed.
Our cover image depicts Chris Toumazou, the founder and CEO of a relatively small British company, DNA Electronics, which has been licensing its intellectual property to some of the biggest names in the business, including Ion Torrent Systems and Roche. Toumazou has a distinguished record in medical devices, and his latest gizmo, the 'SNP-Dr,' which instantly calls to mind Mr Spock's tricorder, shows the potential of real-time genomic diagnostics (page 27).
Several articles look at new software initiatives from the commercial and academic fields. Managing editor Allison Proffitt interviewed many leading genome informatics companies for their latest tools and trends, including Knome, Real Time Genomics, Partek, and DNASTAR (page 35). On the open-source front, we meet the two founders of Galaxy, an increasingly popular platform for easy and efficient access to a variety of genome informatics tools (page 44).
On page 24, Richard Resnick, CEO of GenomeQuest, discusses his company's ambitions in the genome analysis realm. As one might expect of someone who took his bioinformatics training from Broad Institute director Eric Lander, Resnick is a knowledgeable and refreshingly candid spokesperson for the genome informatics industry.
Challenges and Opportunities
Speaking of candid, I was struck by the open attitude of BGI founder Huanming Yang, who gave us an exclusive interview during a visit to Boston earlier this year (page 31). Yang has worked wonders, building BGI into the world's largest genome sequencing center, providing services for a large number of academic and pharma clients. But as in any arena, reaching the pinnacle is one thing, staying there is quite another, and Yang does not sugarcoat BGI's challenges in the next few years.
One of the first NGS platforms featured in Bio•IT World was in 2007, when Kevin McKernan took us through the basics of SOLiD sequencing, now part of Life Technologies. McKernan spent his final 12 months at Life Technologies leading the R&D team of newly acquired Ion Torrent Systems, before stepping down this summer. His new venture, Medicinal Genomics, has sequenced and released data from the cannabis genome. This may sound like some fancy new recreational genomics start-up, but as McKernan explains (page 40), the goal is to better understand the potent anti-cancer properties of some of the plant's active compounds.
Our digital edition carries two bonus articles in this report: a story about VAAST (page 48), a promising algorithm for the detection of pathogenic mutations amidst an ocean of exome or whole-genome data, which is available to academic users now and will be part of a commercial package by San Francisco-based Omicia shortly. And we talk to Laurie Goodman, the editorial director of GigaScience, a new peer-reviewed open-access journal published by BGI, devoted to big data in genomics and life sciences (page 46).

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) -Barcelona says forward Alexis Sanchez will be sidelined for four weeks with a foot injury.
Alexis hurt a ligament in his right foot while playing for Chile in a friendly against Serbia on Wednesday in Switzerland.
The club says the 23-year-old Alexis will miss seven to eight games, including two Champions League group matches against Spartak Moscow and Benfica.
Alexis has played in 15 games for Barcelona this season, scoring once. He missed one game because of a muscle pull.
Barcelona leads the Spanish league and plays Zaragoza on Saturday.

Animals can't resist the food you have in your pack. Faced with a choice between eating grass or many thousands of calories of hiker food, they're compelled to do everything that can to get your food. Remember, it's not about protecting your food from wildlife. It's about protecting wildlife from your food. As the saying goes, "A fed bear is a dead bear." On most of the PCT, you are required to properly protect your food.
The PCT traverses bear habitat. In places, bears have become adept at gaining access to improperly stored food. Access to human food, either through improper or inadequate food storage, sometimes ends with managers having to kill the bear. Proper food storage is paramount to a safe, successful trip; it ensures your personal safety and protects one of our wildlands greatest mammals.
Resident PCT bears are legendarily good at getting human food. In their regions, all scented items MUST be in an approved bear canister.
The number of black bears has increased dramatically in recent years. In California, the bear population has grown from about 10,000 in the 1980s to around 35,000 now. Their range has also expanded. In places where you didn't used to need to worry about bears getting your food, there are now bears.
Before your trip, plan ahead and prepare by inquiring about food storage regulations for the areas in which you will be traveling. Regulations and appropriate protocols differ in places along the trail.
Canisters required in Sierra Nevada
Approved bear canisters are required in parts of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, Inyo and Sierra National Forests and in all of Yosemite National Park. ALL of your food and scented items must be in the canister once you make camp. View the map of where canisters are required.
Long distance PCT travelers should, at the minimum, carry canisters between Kennedy Meadows in the south and Sonora Pass in the north.
Good to know..
Bearvault sells discounted canisters to PCT thruhikers. Wild-Ideas offers discounted rentals on Bearikades to JMT and PCT thruhikers. Most visitor centers in the area offer extremely cheap rentals as well.
See a list of all food storage lockers.
Outside of the Sierra
Regulations and decent hiker ethics stipulate that you must properly protect your food, often times in a very specific way. Defending your food by keeping it in your tent or on the ground nearby is often ineffective, unwise, and does not meet the requirement. Generally, you must keep your food in a bear canister, or hang it using the counter balance method.
Hard sided canisters are the most effective way to protect your food. They're the best choice for most of the trail. Problem is, they're heavy and bulky. While we encourage you to carry a canister, especially in bear country, we understand that you might forgo them on sections of the trail.
In areas without trees and without bears (think parts of Southern California) protecting your food from rodents and small mammals should be your primary concern. In this instance, it is usually sufficient to hang your food a few feet off the ground. The goal is to get it at least waist high. Another technique would be to use something like a Ratsack or Ursack.

More concerns than just the play of Weeden
October 16, 2013
By now you may be tired of reading about Brandon Weeden's slow release and all the gory details of the pass that never should have been last Sunday....
Of more concern than all of that put together, is the absolute collapse in the second half of every game so far.
As you're written yourself Mike, we've had the lead in all 6 games at the half. We've thence been outscored in the second half, 55-3.
To me, that's definitely a coaching issue.

David Backes is a man of many talents. Evidently, scoring a goal without actually putting the puck in the back of the net is one of them. Backes was awarded a goal after he was hauled down from behind as he streaked towards Winnipeg's empty net. By rule, the player is awarded a goal when he is denied a scoring chance when the net is empty.
It's not often you see a player score a goal without actually scoring a goal.

Tea Party Nation: America Won't Elect Black President 'For a Generation or Two' Because of Obama
Yesterday, Tea Party Nation sent out an article to members by activist Alan Caruba, warning that President Obama is not only bad for the black community but also that Americans are unlikely to trust a black leader again. Reacting to an interview with comedian D.L. Hughley, where he said Obama should have been more aggressive in responding to right-wing attacks and calling out the endurance of anti-black racism in America, Caruba said that "Obama has been the 'affirmative action' President whose life has been characterized by the special treatment he received growing up," and has therefore been able to get away with having a "forgery" of a birth certificate.
"I believe Obama has made it nearly impossible for a black American to be elected President for a generation or two," Caruba concluded. "I believe he will be rejected by the voters in November and I believe he will, as he has done throughout his presidency, blame others for it."
"I'm a black man too and I didn't grow up in that kind of world. I couldn't grow up thinking everything would be OK because it wasn't for a lot of people I knew," said Hughly who apparently thinks Obama was naïve and didn't realize the depth of racism in America, but ignores the fact that a lot of whites voted for Obama because they wanted to demonstrate to the world that a black man could be elected President.
If Obama had been raised by a black father, says Hughly, he would have learned that "you can't let someone disrespect you but one time." Hughly mistakes criticism of Obama's performance in office as racism and, in fact, the half-black, half-white Obama has generally been given a pass his whole life precisely because of his racial mix. All Presidents have been subjected to often harsh criticism.
If anything, Obama has been the "affirmative action" President whose life has been characterized by the special treatment he received growing up. It has been a life whose actual facts Obama has gone out of his way to conceal by having his college and other records hidden from public review, not the least of which has been his birth certificate, deemed by many to be a forgery along with his phony Social Security number.
What struck me about the Hughly interview was his uncritical embrace of Obama and the view that it is racism that is holding blacks back. Obama has not opened any doors for black Americans that were not already in place.
To the contrary, Obama has offered them more food stamps and has tried via an illegal executive order to gut the successful welfare law that Bill Clinton signed. He has failed the millions, black, white, Asian, and Hispanic, who are unemployed as the result of his Marxist ideology.
I believe Obama has made it nearly impossible for a black American to be elected President for a generation or two. I believe he will be rejected by the voters in November and I believe he will, as he has done throughout his presidency, blame others for it.

She first went on stage at the age of 17 and met John Barry, the composer. 1965 she had been chosen to play in a musical comedy "
Passion Flower Hotel
". Music signed... John Barry ! They married shortly afterwards, and Kate Barry was born in 1967.
At the age of twenty, Jane attracted attention in "
", Antonioni's scandalous film that received the grand prix at the Cannes Film Festival. In France, Pierre Grimblat was filming Slogan and was looking for a girl to play opposite Serge Gainsbourg. The artist was already famous and was still grieving after his break up with Brigitte Bardot. Jane went for a screen test; she barely spoke French, knew nothing about her co-star, Gainsbourg gave the young girl a rough time, but when she burst into tears, mixing private sadness about John Barry and the film part, he disapproved, but he recognised that she cried well in front of the camera, and he, who could of vetoed the directors choice, agreed with him, and Jane got the part! And that was how their mythical love story began in Paris in 1969. They became inseparable and a living legend when they recorded "
Je t'aime moi non plus
". Censorship went wild, the Vatican banned it, the B.B.C refused to play the original, and did their own orchestral version, thanks to this the record sold a million copies in a matter of months! Off they went to Yugoslavia to play in Abraham Polonski's "
Romance of a horse thief
" with Yul Brynner and Eli Wallach... nine months later their daughter Charlotte was born, in 1971.
Di Doo Dah
", her first solo album, was released in 1973. This same year she proved herself as a film actress in J. Rouffio's "
Sept morts sur ordonnance
" with actors Depardieu and Piccoli. She also took part in the phenomenal box office and "grand public" success of "
La moutarde me monte au nez
" and "
La course à léchalotte
", two Claude Zidis popular comic movies with Pierre Richard.
In 1975 Serge and Jane were back with "
Je t'aime moi non plus
", the film (an exploration of a homosexual theme heightened by the ambiguity of Jane, the androgynous muse.) Puritan France was outraged & the critics panned the film, but Francois Truffaut raved about it in "
La masque et la plume
" and since it's debut it has become a film legend, from France to Tokyo! "
Lolita go home
" came out in 1975. Jane sang Philippe Labro's lyrics set to Gainsbourg's music. In 1978, "
Ex-fan des sixties
" was released.
By 1983 Jane had left Serge. She was living with Jacques Doillon, with whom she had Lou, in 1982, her third daughter, Doillon was the actresses dream of director, imposing his own personal style of drama, and bringing out the very best of his actresses, the director of "
La fille prodigue
" and "
La Pirate
", imposed a decidedly dramatic style on this "light" actress and the critics were impressed..."
La Pirate
" was the official French entry for Cannes...
Gainsbourg, suffering from the separation, wrote "
Baby alone in Babylone
" for her (Charles Cross award)... gold record, Jane, a deeply moving interpreter of the writer's inner turmoil, became, from then on, to quote her, "his female side" his "fragile half", singing songs of pain and separation, sawing high with the heart breaking "
Fuir le bonheur de peur qu'il ne se sauve
", or "
Dessous chics
Directors like Jacques Rivette and Agnes Varda, Tavernier, understood and used Jane's artistic sensitivity and in 1985, she made her début on stage, in a play by Mariveaux, she was the countess in "
La Fausse suivante
" under the great direction of Patrice Chéreau. From these experiences, she will take enough courage and self-confidence to get on stage as a singer, after the release of "
" which was a smash hit by Gainsbourg, in 1987 Jane gives a show at the Bataclan, directed by Lerichomme, Jane cuts off her hair, takes singing lessons, dresses like a boy, and she did it "just wanting to impress Serge"... The show was an over night success, he was there most nights, and filmed her for "Printemps de Bourges" festival...
In 1990 Gainsbourg dedicated a new album to her: "
Amours des feintes
". It was to be the last. He died on 2 March 1991. A few days later, David Birkin also died. Jane was crushed, both her heroes gone in three days, when she appeared on stage at the Casino de Paris, the atmosphere was grave the emotion palpable, the whole of France was mourning their dead hero Gainsbourg, their loss was great, and Jane gave a little of him back in this communion, but after a non stop world tour, finishing at "La Rochelle", she put her microphone on the ground and walked away from the lights...
She returned to the intimacy of writing and devoted herself to what was dear to her: her family and her humanitarian work. She sang in particular on behalf of Amnesty International, made a short film for the battle against AIDS, and another for Amnesty International, then she made her own film "
Oh pardon tu dormais
" directed and written by herself, then threw herself into humanitarian causes, and went in a tank over the mount Igman, for "Paris Saryevo" taking supplies and literature into the besieged town Sarajevo.
Her fans, who were urging her to carry on 'singing Serge' to them, had their wish granted in 1996, the year of "
Versions Jane
", on which various artists like Goran Bregovic and the Senegalese percussionist Dudu N'Diaye Rose re orchestrated 15 tracks from the repertoire of Gainsbourg's youth. "
La gadoue
" and its spirited rhythm was a success, revamped by Les Négresses Vertes, thirty years after the original version.
In 1998 Jane recorded "
A la légère
". In this new venture, which she described as 'total infidelity', she invited 12 composers to write 12 original songs.
In 2002 Jane decided to defend in her own way Gainsbourgs songs, under skies 'at the same time Algerian, Andalusian and gypsy'. She was delighted by the idea of introducing him as widely as possible to a young audience. This new show she called "
". Philippe Lerichomme, her artistic director and Gainsbourg's, advised her to work with the Algerian violinist Djamel Benyelles whose violin made Gainsbourg's songs vibrate to the tune of Arabic interludes. The show Arabesque will be played more than 400 times worldwide.
", her album of duets with Françoise Hardy, Bryan Ferry, Etienne Daho, Brian Molko, Miossec and Beth Gibbons, was released in 2004. It was followed by "
" in 2008 where she collaborated with authors such as Neil Hannon, Beth Gibbons, Rufus Wainwright, Arthur H, Dominique A...
After her return to the theatre as Electra by "
" from November 2006 to march 2007 (at Théâtre des Amandiers in Nanterre and in 15 other French cities), she has presented her second movie as a director and actor: "
" with Michel Piccoli, Geraldine Chaplin, Maurice Bénichou, Tcheky Karyo, Natacha Régnier et Lou Doillon at the Cannes Film Festival 2007 in the Official Selection (out of contest.)
After finishing Jacques Rivette's last film "
36 Vues Du Pic Saint Loup
" with Sergio Castellito, Jane released in November 2008 her album "
Enfants dHiver
", featuring for the first time ever exclusively Birkin lyrics.
She also appears on stage next to the author, director and actor Wajdi Mouawad in "
La Sentinelle
", a play written for her. In parallel, she continues her charities actions for paperless immigrants and the release of Aung San Suu Kyi.
After the earthquake and the nuclear catastrophy in Fukushima, Jane directly catch a plane to Japan to participate into a support concert. During this event she met with Nobuyuki Nakajima who later became the artistic director of her new tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the death of Serge Gainsbourg -

Great Writing Pen
By 1953KMR
from Brenham, TX
Purchased a ballpoint True Writer pen in Raven color and plan on giving it as a birthday present in July. Have been really pleased with prior Levenger fountain pens that I purchased for myself which I enjoy writing in my journal daily. They are all so smooth writing, easy to use and replace the refills.
Excellent everyday pen
By mmmd
from Undisclosed
I have been using this pen everyday since purchasing. Love the look and feel. Will repurchase again in the near future.
Beautiful Pen A Bit Short For My Large Hand
By NJML
from NJ
Purchased the pen in crimson. While it is beautifully made, I found it uncomfortable to write with for my fairly large hand size and writing style.Wish I had checked the length in comparison to a pen comfortable to write with before purchasing.
Great gift
By elsie
from Cumberland, Maine
This was a gift for my brother's birthday. He said "I love the color and the simple initials are very nice." Success!
My Go-To Pen
By PunkPoet
from Eastern NC
I have bought MANY of these pens over the years, for myself and as gifts. I am a writer and I monogram my pens with my initials: I have given away at least 5 of my own pens to aspiring writers and friends and they tell me it's a precious gift for good luck. I am a ballpoint fan, love the old school fool, the heft and the beautiful colors, a great price for a quality pen that would last for years if I didn't keep giving them away :) I always have two in my purse!

For the True Writer :)
Lives up to its picture
By Pencollector
from Miamisbug, OH
I now have three True Writer's and, even though I have over a hundred "fine writing pens" to choose from, I write with a True Writer every day. The pens have a good, solid feel without being too heavy. The materials are a good quality and pleasing to both eye and hand. I have been disappointed by pens I've bought online in the past, but not by the True Writer. I have one with black ink, one with blue ink and one with red. They are my "go to" pens.
Professional and Pretty
By BJIA
from Austin, Texas
I have been waiting for this pen to show up somewhere besides the photos in the catalog and online - it's not right to have a great red pen on display in a Levenger pen box or looped to a notebook and then to not have it available for purchase - it is about time - Thank You - I ordered it and a red refill for it at once.

Written Interview: Jason Segel & Nicholas Stoller ("The Muppets")November 26th, 2011 by Scott
Today's written interview [from Collider] is with Nicholas Stoller and Jason Segel who co-wrote the screenplay for The Muppets (Segel also co-stars). An excerpt:
Question: Was getting The Muppets back together the idea you had from the start?
JASON SEGEL: I must say that a lot of the plot came from [Nicholas Stoller]. I said, "I want to make a Muppet movie," and he said, "Okay, I'll think of the idea."
NICHOLAS STOLLER: We had an initial phone call. [Jason] had a meeting at Disney, and then literally on that drive, we pitched out the whole thing.
SEGEL: Nick and I have a weird kismet relationship, so we riffed it out. But, Nick thought of a lot of it, and then I went in and pitched it. And then, I called Nick back and told him he was writing the movie with me. That is what happened.
How soon did that happen, after Forgetting Sarah Marshall?
SEGEL: It was the first thing that I pitched after Sarah Marshall. I did go in and pitch it alone, but Nick is my buddy and had helped me flesh out the idea. And then, while I was in there, I was like, "And, by the way, I'm writing this with Nick Stoller," and they were like, "Oh, great! That's terrific! I didn't even know Nick would want to do this." I was like, "Yeah!" And then, I called Nick and presented it as an option.
STOLLER: Yeah, it was awesome. It was thrilling. It paid off. It was very exciting.
I saw the movie opening night and it's wonderful. Very true to the spirit of the original Muppets TV series and lots of great songs by Bret McKenzie of "Flight of the Conchords" fame.

It was a rainy day when we pulled into Franz Joseph Glacier in New Zealand. We were supposed to go ice climbing but the weather was not on our side. It rained all night but I was awoken buy a ray of sunlight streaming into our camper van. As I pulled back the curtains I saw that the sky had cleared and the sun was rising over the mountains. A glorious site.
I grabbed my camera and tripod to head up to get some photos of the glacier from a vantage point in our campsite. On my way up a flash of purple caught my eye. As I looked around I was taken aback by the beauty of this purple flower called the Agapanthus Purple Cloud dripping with the reminants of last nights rains.
The sun was catching it just right. The droplets of rain combined with the early morning sun made for the perfect shot.
So as you rise this morning enjoy this peaceful image of the Agapanthus Purple Cloud and start off your morning right.

UNIVERSITY PARK - After Penn State quickly jumped out to an 8-0 lead during the game's first two minutes to put Hampton on its heels, the visiting Pirates counter-punched Penn State hard the next 38 minutes until the final horn sounded.
Penn State coach Patrick Chambers wanted to see how the younger players handled late-game postseason basketball, and they did just that.
Freshman guard Geno Thorpe made four free throws in the game's final 30 seconds to secure the win for Penn State, as the Nittany Lions knocked off Hampton 69-65 on Wednesday night in the opening round of the College Basketball Invitational at the Bryce Jordan Center.

Penn State's Donovon Jack, left, is fouled by Hampton's Du'Vaughn Maxwell on the way to the basket during Penn State's 69-65 victory in the first round of the CBI, Wednesday at the Bryce Jordan Center.
"It gives me a look at how it's going to be next year," Penn State guard D.J. Newbill said. "With Tim (Frazier) going, and those guys really stepping up to the plate and making big plays and big free throws down the stretch. It gets me excited. Those guys are really coming into their own."
Newbill finished with a team-high 19 points to lead the Nittany Lions (16-17) to their first postseason win of any kind since a 61-48 Big Ten tournament win over Michigan State on March 12, 2011.
"(Newbill) is a big time player and he's playing like it," Chambers said. "His leadership has been great ever since we got into this tournament. We were 10 points better when he was out there, to put a number on it. They have to focus on him and it opens up things for Brandon Taylor, who scored 14 points."
Frazier, Newbill and Brandon Taylor scored quickly in succession and Penn State took an 8-0 lead just a minute and 47 seconds into the contest, forcing a quick Hampton timeout.
Jervon Pressley briefly stopped the bleeding with 17:05 left in the opening half when he drove and converted to put the Pirates on the board.
Hampton's issues were compounded when Mid Eastern Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year Da'Vaughn Maxwell picked up his second foul with 16:09 left in the first half.
"It was a foul thing," Hampton coach Edward Joyner Jr. said, clarifying that it wasn't a lingering foot injury suffered in the MEAC tournament that sent Maxwell to the bench. "He got in foul trouble, and the other kids stepped up."
After Ross Travis made two free throws to put the Nittany Lions up 10-2, Brian Darden hit consecutive 3-pointers to draw Hampton to 10-8.
Taylor answered with back-to-back threes of his own to put Penn State back up 18-8.
Darden ripped off six more points on three free throws and another trifecta, which was followed by Ramon Mercado's three to cut Penn State's lead down to 21-20 with 9:49 to play in the half.
Darden's fourth three gave him 15 points in the first ten minutes of the game before he joined Maxwell on bench with his second foul.
Penn State went on a 7-0 run after Emmanuel Okoroba made a free throw to cut the Nittany Lions' lead to 23-21.
Hampton missed three free throws over the 5:26 scoreless stretch before Deron Powers made consecutive buckets to make it 30-25 with 1:46 left in the half.
Taylor led the way for Penn State in the first half with 10 points and five rebounds while Newbill added eight.
Darden didn't score the rest of the half after returning, but his 4-for-4 from beyond the arc accounted for 12 of his 15 first-half points, which led all scorers.
Penn State turned the ball over seven times in the first, leading to seven Hampton points.
Newbill opened up the scoring for Penn State in the second half when he made both free throws after he was fouled on a drive.
The Pirates' leading scorer, Maxwell scored his first points of the game with 16:49 left in the second half when he hit both free throws after being fouled by Penn State's Jordan Dickerson.
Travis answered a Maxwell jumper with one of his own to stretch the PSU lead back to six points with 14:04 left in the game.
Okoroba made a jumper with 12 minutes left in the game to tie the game for the first time at 41-41.
Chambers immediately called a timeout for Penn State in response to the 6-0 Hampton run.
The timeout didn't pay short-term dividends for the Nittany Lions, as Breon Key's transition dunk gave Hampton its first lead of the night at 43-41 with 11 minutes to play.
Newbill quickly answered for Penn State to even it back up then Frazier, the graduate student, made some veteran plays for the Lions.
Frazier scored four straight then hit Newbill with a bounce pass in transition to extended the Lions' lead to 53-45 with 6:04 to play in the game, pushing it in Penn State's direction for good.
"I think this was a great stepping stone for us heading into next year with eight or nine sophomores returning next year," Joyner said. "We wanted postseason experience for our guys. We felt like they deserved another chance to play."
After 15 first-half points, Darden, who finished with a game-high 22 points, was held scoreless for the first 14-plus minutes of the closing half.
Taylor finished with 14 points and a game-high nine rebounds, helping Penn State to a 42-18 edge on the boards.
Powers cut the Penn State lead to as little as two points with six seconds to play at 67-65, but Thorpe made two more free throws with 4.3 seconds left to cement the hard-fought 69-65 win
"They did a good job at their scheme," Frazier said. "They fought us all the way to the end. Praise goes to their coaches and their players. It was a great team."
On Monday, Penn State will visit Siena (16-17), who dropped Stony Brook 66-55 in the CBI opener Tuesday night.

international students from highly divergent cultures
Campus Housing:
private rooms for everyone...homey environments
Party Scene:
just enough...low key and creative
Party Scene:
just enough...creative and full of fun
just enough for diversion and refreshment
everything is experiential and top drawer
Health & Safety:
lots of proactivity...lots of info...facilities on campus and close by
Overall Experience:
lots of job search training and pertinent info given in a timely manner
Overall Experience:
My impression from being a guest participant in real classes, along with intensive interviews of faculty and staff. The school's international and highly accomplished alumni speak for it best.
135 students - 20 countries - 28 languages and 90% if not everyone has been abroad.
Everyone on campus loves their job and everyone is nice.
Greek Life:
We dont have Greek life or fraternities.
Party Scene:
Not tons to do, pretty pricey.
We have the chipmunks which is our soccer team. Some people are into other sports but this school is really for learning.
Off-Campus Dining:
Tons of great places to eat, a bit pricey but I guess that's how it is here. There are no student discounts.
Off-Campus Housing:
Lots of housing comes with furniture which is helpful when you move from across the country and only for 1 year at school. The price isnt the best but its worth it. Parking will be a bit challenging in the winter but I dont have a car.
Guys & Girls:
This is a very strange topic to have to write about. Everyone is wonderful, special and beautiful in their own ways. The ratio is 3 women to 1 man but its still great.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are many places to choose from, and you can find any different kind of food that you would wish for. Ethnic cuisine in Evansville is very prevalent, and for the portions you get, the cost is decent. Of course you can find fancy, expensive restaurants if that is what you are looking for, but most of the options are very affordable. There are certain places that offer student discounts, and it tends to be the places where students are seen most often.
Local Area:
The people in Evansville are very friendly, and they are fairly open to diversity for being a small city. There isn't much in the way of clubs or a party scene, but there are plenty of restaurants and enough bars if you can find your way around the city. It is hard to go places without a vehicle or a friend who has one. There is one decent mall in the city, which is the place most people go to shop. The safety is for the most part great, and I feel completely safe walking to nearby places. Students are very welcome throughout the city in general.
I never really enjoyed the athletic scene. Fan support is usually great, especially if the game is against a rival team. School spirit is prevalent, but it isn't the largest part of campus. The athletic facilities are great, which sometimes overshadows some of the other things that need renovated or updated on campus.
You come into the school knowing the dry campus policy, so you really know what to expect. Administration is very strict on these rules, and you can get into a great amount of trouble if you are caught with alcohol or drugs on campus. However, there is no campus curfew, and although it is not allowed for a member of the opposite sex to sleep in your room, you can have them there for as long as you like - if it is not a restricted floor. Most of the time, academic policies are easy to follow. If you are absent for a class, just be sure to email your professor with plenty of notice, if possible. Also, if you must miss a test day, make sure that you have a good reason for it and have backing from the Dean. Basically, just be responsible adults and you will get along fine.
Campus Food:
It is very convenient to have the option of campus dining; however, many of the hours that they are open are not convenient, especially dinner time. They are open from 4:30-7 for dinner, which means if you have an evening class or if you work, the option to have dinner on campus is non-existent. If it is any day from Monday-Thursday, you have the option of the late night menu, but it includes mostly unhealthy options. Also, the hours are VERY limited throughout the weekend. Not everyone has the opportunity or the finances to be able to eat off-campus during the weekend and rely on the cafeteria service for all or most of their meals. I do have to admit, however, that during normal dining hours, there is always a great variety, and there are plenty of different options to try in the way of ethnic foods.
My favourite requirement of the program is the necessity to study abroad. I believe it brings much value to the major and allows you to live it. The workload is about average; there is more reading than actual work to do, and essays are the main source of the points. The curriculum is very broad and encompasses many different subjects, from political science to economics to the option of taking history classes, archaeology classes, or communications classes to add toward your major. The facilities are spectacular, as the classrooms are in the newest academic building on campus. It is also easy to add on majors and minors to supplement the International Studies degree.
Professors at UE are always there to help, and they truly care about how you are doing, both academically and personally. The registration process works very well, I feel. It is set up to allow the upperclassmen to have the opportunity to register for the classes that they need the most for graduation, so that they do not get left out of a class due to it being filled too quickly.
Health & Safety:
Overall, I feel like the health and safety on campus is both functional and quality for the size of the school. It can be slightly inconvenient due to the availability of the doctor as well as the hours the center is open. It can be difficult for a student with a full class load to visit the center without missing class to do so.

Lebanese Government Resigns, Cont. (Updated)
From the Aljazeera.com report:
That's the kind of thing that can't help but put a smile on your face...
