High School BuddyPosted on 5/24/14 - by Richard E. MarshallJames was one of my best friends in High School. I remember drinking a few beers together to celebrate our graduation. I wish we could do it again. James joined the Army and volunteered for combat in Vietnam right out of high school. He was courageous and strong. Unfortunately the bravest soldiers are those most likely to be killed. Rest in peace, my friend.MORE
Remembering An American HeroPosted on 4/11/14 - by Curt Carter email@example.com SGT James Michael Leonard, sirMORE
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, Sir

We all owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Sgt. Leonard and the other members of our military who gave so much.MORE
Senior Picture - Class of 1967Posted on 5/31/03 - byThirty-four years ago today, his young life was extinguished. Since I found the Virtual Wall, I knew that I had to post a remembrance for James Leonard, a kind and decent young man. Isn't this a handsome picture?MORE
James was a couple of years older than me - his brother was in my class at Edmond High School. I remember James from the dances at the National Guard Armory - where all of the kids 'hung out' during the summer listening to the local bands. James was such a gentleman.
James played football, ran track, and was a member of the 12 Year Club (which meant he went to school all 12 years in Edmond).
James is not forgotten. I think of him often and thank him for his sacrifice.
In Loving Memory...
A Thank YouPosted on 5/1/03 - by John D. LeonardJust a word of thanks to the family of James Leonard from another Leonard, John D. Leonard. I didn't go to Vietnam but served during that time. My Guard unit would be placed in downtown DC whenever a demonstration was held. We were expected to keep law and order. Believe me, we sometimes had to police our own ranks the tensions and emotions would be so high toward "peaceful demonstrators". Because of people like James,who made the utlimate sacrifice for his country with his life, we enjoy freedoms in this land that allow free expression and speach and for that scarifice he made, I am one who is thankful. And to his family, I express my belated sympathies and a promise to never forget James Leonard. Leonards are known for standing tall and proud with their service. My dad did 31 years of military service, in WWII, Korea and Vietnam, my two brothers were in service over 25 years and both served in Vietnam. Couple this with James's service along with the other 24 Leonards found on the "Wall" and it proves the point. Leonards are something to be proud of!MORE

City must be proactive in its management
I believe it is fiscally prudent and good management for the Woodinville City Council to purchase land for the city.
Contrary to Mr. Dixon's comments when the city was starting operations, that "we could just have city council meetings in one of the council members homes," I personally do not think this is a feasible solution for city operations.
Since the Sorenson Bond did not achieve the 60% super majority needed to pass, the council must again explore the wishes of the voters. The ballot issue was to purchase the Sorenson complex, not a referendum on whether or not the city should ever purchase any property for city use.
The council's responsibility to the citizens includes providing essential services in the most effective, efficient manner possible. I believe that part of the charge we were selected for is to look at alternatives, explore possibilities and make the best decisions possible with the best information available. Because of this, I believe that we cannot just sit back, wring our hands, and wait until the Sorenson lease runs out in August 1997, then decide that we'd better look for another place to put city hall.
We need to look ahead and be proactive, not negative and pessimistic. I was elected to make sound decisions that are in the best interests of the citizens. I pledge to continue to strive towards that goal.
Bob Miller, Mayor, Woodinville

"It's bloody impractical to love, honor and obey. If it weren't, you wouldn't have to sign a contract." —Katharine Hepburn
Hepburn, who kept company with married costar Spencer Tracy for 27 years, was decades ahead of her time. In old Hollywood—where Elizabeth Taylor began racking up seven husbands, Mickey Rooney pledged his troth to eight wives, and Lana Turner made seven trips to the altar—stars not only embraced marriage but changed spouses before the ink on their divorce papers had dried. The few who flouted tradition were mired in scandal: When Ingrid Bergman had a baby out of wedlock with Roberto Rossellini in 1950, she was denounced in the U.S. Senate by Sen. Edward Johnson as "a powerful influence for evil."
Today, though, there's no universal moral standard to coerce celebs to the altar—and plenty of reasons to keep them away. "The social prerequisite has had no value to me," Kurt Russell, 45, told London's Times last September of his decision to stay unmarried to Goldie Hawn, 51, his mate of 14 years. "I don't believe we own anybody," agreed Hawn in January's Vanity Fair. Woody Harrelson, 35, in December's W, sang the praises of his six-year "free union" with companion Laura Louie, 32, which has produced two daughters. And Madonna, 39, does not "see marriage as a religious matter," she told Paris Match last year. "It's just an economic contract these days—more a question of money than anything else. I don't need a piece of paper and a church service to live with a man."
Neither, apparently, does Oprah Winfrey, 43, now in her fourth year of betrothal to Stedman Graham, 45. "I have the right to not get married," she told Redbook last year. "I'm sorry I ever was such a big-mouth frog about the engagement." Magician David Copperfield, 40, has apparently adopted the Oprah plan. He made a 5-carat ring appear on the finger of übermodel Claudia Schiffer, 26, back in 1993 but, according to reports, can't find time to plan the ceremony. Shoshanna Lonstein, 21, transferred in 1994 from George Washington University to UCLA to be nearer beau Jerry Seinfeld, 42, but wedding bells aren't yet ringing. And Brooke Shields, 31, says of her yearlong engagement to Andre Agassi, 26, "We're committed to the idea of planning."
Remaining single has its benefits. "Stars think it is sexier not to be married," Palo Alto, Calif., social psychologist Debbie Then believes. "You look at characters on the soap operas. As soon as they marry, forget it. It's ho-humville." Johnny Depp, 33, and Kate Moss, 23, significant others since 1994, keep the mystery alive by maintaining different homes and different calendars. "When their schedules coincide, they are together," says John Gnerre, Moss's agent, "but work takes them in different directions most of the time. When Kate's free, she's with him." Susan Sarandon, 50, who has lived for nine years and has two children with Tim Robbins, 38, doesn't want her relationship to lose its spark. "When you aren't married, I think it is not as easy to take each other for granted," she told the Los Angeles Times in 1992. "Because when you say 'till death do us part,' you don't have to reaffirm your love for each other as often."
Or to pay dearly should the union end. "A lot of couples don't want to spoil the romantic spell by asking their partner to sign a prenuptial agreement," says Carole Lieberman, a Beverly Hills psychiatrist. Prenup problems have been the rumored reason that a number of celebrity weddings have not taken place. "Did you have to sign a prenup?" unwed Madonna asked just-wed Lauren Holly on a recent Rosie O'Donnell show. A question that, for Holly, cuts two ways: After the breakup of her 2½-year first marriage, she ended up paying alimony to ex-husband Danny Quinn.
To avoid prenup pitfalls and seven-year itches, many couples prefer to have all the trappings of marriage without being trapped. Star watchers trace this trend back to Farrah Fawcett, 50, and Ryan O'Neal, 55, who share a Malibu beach house and a 12-year-old son, Redmond. "In the mid-'80s, when she had Redmond, most women wouldn't have children out of wedlock," says Jay Bernstein, Fawcett's former manager. "Once Farrah did it, it became all right." The latest unwed couple with a baby onboard are Pierce Brosnan, 44, and Keely Shaye-Smith, 33, who welcomed son Dylan Thomas last month but made it clear no wedding will follow. "Keely has her own independent life," Brosnan told Cosmopolitan in September. "She doesn't believe in marriage. But we love each other."
These days, though, a pregnancy is tantamount to a diamond. "When couples have children, the child is a sign of commitment," says L.A. psychologist Robert Butterworth. "When a couple share a child, they act as if they are married whether they are or not."
Hawn and Russell met in 1983 while filming Swing Shift and nested with Hawn's children by singer Bill Hudson, Kate, now 17, and Oliver, now 20; Russell's son by actress Season Hubley, Boston, now 16; and their own son, Wyatt, now 10. Both parents were left altar-shy by previous unions. "Goldie had a hard marriage and she's found something that's very special," says her friend, actress Lee Grant. "They certainly have a marriage in the best sense of the word." Still, it's difficult to forget the awkward Oscar moment in 1989 when Russell said to his copresenter for the Best Director Award, "There's only one thing we're not... married," and Hawn put him on the spot, asking, "Is that a proposal?" It wasn't.
Some relationships survive on hope. Jennifer Flavin, who gave birth to Sylvester Stallone's daughter Sophia last August and with him saw the infant through open-heart surgery three months later, admits that her twice-divorced beau "is quite burned by the subject of marriage," as she told Britain's Hello magazine. "It is up to him to ask me, when he wants to, to be his wife. For the time being, all I can do is wait." But she rather poignantly added that "out of respect for my daughter, I would like it for Sly and me to officially seal our relationship with either a religious or civil ceremony." Sarah Jessica Parker, who has shared a Greenwich Village apartment with Matthew Broderick for 1.5 years, also wouldn't mind a ring on her finger. "Marriage is a priority, period," she told Redbook last July. "And I hope it's Matthew; I hope it is."
Even in a stalled relationship, an attachment with another famous person has its appeal. Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley have certainly had their low points since they began dating in 1988, but, suggests Grant's unauthorized biographer Jody Tresidder, "Hugh and Elizabeth, for their own careers, have to keep being the public couple." Which, of course, doesn't mean that they aren't also a private couple. "I'm told we only sleep together because it's good for business," Grant said in the February U.K. edition of Premiere. "But what I always want to ask journalists who write that is why we were together for six years before either of us got famous?"
The answer may be that shocking four-letter word love. And so, as another year of not calling caterers, not shopping for wedding gowns, not fitting that tux passes, these couples seem to need a leap of faith to make the leap to the altar. They can find encouragement from other famous finally-marrieds who so far report no divorces and no regrets. "Having a family and being married and all that stuff grounds you," Eddie Murphy, 35, told the Cleveland Plain-Dealer of his marriage to former model Nicole Mitchell, 29, after five years and three children. Father of the Bride producers Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers saw fit to marry in 1995 after living together for 19 years and having two kids. Even Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, 70, and his great friend of 12 years, NBC correspondent Andrea Mitchell, 50, have decided to marry in April. "It was rational exuberance," Mitchell said in The New York Times of her reaction to Greenspan's Christmas proposal. "I was completely surprised because we'd never really talked about it." And now? "We're very comfortable and very happy."

Orangeburg, S.C. - Host South Carolina State (4-0) handed the Stetson women's tennis team (2-1) its first setback of the season, defeating the Hatters 5-2 at the Bulldog Tennis Courts Friday afternoon. Junior Jen Miller (Tampa, Fla.) won both her singles and doubles matches for Stetson.
S.C. State won the doubles point to start the match by a 2-1 margin with only the duo of Miller and sophomore Diana Bukajeva (Riga, Latvia) winning 8-3 at #3 doubles over Katarina Barborikova and Laura Bosneag.
Miller claimed one of Stetson's two singles points in the match with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Bosneag on Court 6. Sophomore Lindsey Cable (Gainesville, Fla.) claimed the other point for the Hatters, outlasting Victoria Khatcei in three sets (6-1, 4-6, 6-4) on Court 5. The Bulldogs used straight set victories on Courts 2, 3 and 4 to lock up the victory. Junior Sara Lazarevic (Calgary, Alta.) took Suhaila Jad to three sets at #1 singles before falling 6-0, 1-6, 6-1.
Stetson was scheduled to follow up its visit to Orangeburg with a stop in Mount Pleasant, S.C. to face 70th-ranked College of Charleston at 1:00 pm Sunday, but that match has been cancelled due to the likelihood of bad weather in the area that day. The Hatters are now off until hosting Georgia Southern at noon Sunday, February 26. Live Scoring for that match will be available at GoHatters.com.

Police and 'Mustang' drug agents hit the home on Kenborg Hills Road late last week, and police captain Doug Shoemaker now says they took in a decent haul.
"It was an actual grow operation with about 42 plants in an active state of grow, along with about a half-pound of processed marijuana and a firearm," says Shoemaker.
Susan Ponder, 33, and 27–year-old Christopher Dean were arrested on suspicion of drug manufacturing in connection with the raid. Geneva Ponder, 60, was arrested for drug possession.

She's in the swim. She's making a splash. She's not just tredding water.

Poppi Swim a small PDX company, celebrates it's first year with a great sale March 1-17. Snap-up last season's styles at half price. You might even get lucky and fall in love with one of the select suits marked down 75 percent or win the in-shop drawings for stuff and discounts.
Pamela Levenson, originally from Victoria, B.C., studied fashion design then worked for several companies including Guess Jeans in Paris before launching Poppi Swim. Levenson is inspired by vintage swimwear but -- fortunately -- new fangled high-tech fabrics don't need all the uncomfortable boning, bras and girdles support of that beachwear of yorn.
This spring, Poppi Swim has lots of tropical and geometric prints in brown and turqoise, bright
bright pink and orange, black and white combos. One group, inspired by the old TV sit-com "I Dream of Jeannie" has princess seaming and boy-cut legs of the '40s and '50sw. Way cute. The new stuff will be 10 percent off. Prices usually hover around $30 per piece for two-piece suits, or about $75 for a one-piece.
The line is sold in several stores but the sale is on at the Poppi Swim shop which is way cute in N.E. PDX.

Are Afghan women happy?
That's probably not a fair question to open with. I sat down with six Afghan women recently to hear directly from them how they felt about everything from arranged marriages to burqas.
After three decades of nearly constant war, a young government struggling to exert influence over all the country, an insurgency devoted to disrupting or toppling that government and an economy not growing fast enough, there are very few people of any gender in Afghanistan who are truly happy.
But on top of the common problems that affect all Afghans, women here have many more things to be unhappy about.

Good news! More Dante and Galante this year! The Thunder will indeed be participating in the Orlando Summer League with six other teams.
SLAM wants to nickname Russell Westbrook: "Standing 6-3, Russell Westbrook. Westbrook isn't the most intimidating of players—until he steps on the court. Besides Kevin Durant and the rest of the Thunder's young squad (check SLAM 138 if you haven't), RW runs the point for a high-energy offense. He averaged 16.1 ppg and 8 apg during the regular season and is a major reason why the Thunder went from 23 to 50 in the win column since his arrival from UCLA in '08. The dude is balling and we need a nickname to accommodate him." I thought he already gave himself one?
Want to be a Thunder Girl? Open tryouts are July 10 at 10 AM at the Ford Center. The audition process will be an all-day event. Participants will learn a series of dance combinations and finalists will be chosen at the end of the day. Members of last year's team are still required to audition for a spot on the 2010-11 squad. Thunder Girl hopefuls are encouraged to submit their application and $20 registration fee by Friday, July 2. After that date, the registration fee will increase to $30.
Looks like John Wall will be No. 1 overall. Evan Turner isn't even going to work out for the Washington.
I wrote something yesterday saying goodbye to the Big 12. Read it, if you're into that sort of thing.
Oklahoma City was represented yesterday at the big draft workout yesterday in New Jersey, just so you know.
Jonathan Givony of Draft Express writing for SI looks at five sleepers: "Zoubek was the biggest reason for the Blue Devils' advantage on the offensive glass. He led the nation by a wide margin with 7.8 offensive rebounds per 40 minutes pace adjusted. In fact, Zoubek ranks as the second-best per-minute offensive rebounder in the NCAA in the past decade, behind only DeJuan Blair, who made the NBA's All-Rookie second team this season after slipping to the second round of the 2009 draft."
Instant replay is going to be re-evaluated after the season: "Still, replay will continue to grow next season, when officials can use the monitor for those tough possession calls during the entire overtime. And there is now a seven-member instant replay committee evaluating the system and studying ways to further incorporate review into the league. So expect to see more finals games have their instant-replay moments — as long as it doesn't slow things down."

Twister Is Tearing Up the Box Office, but Those Who Have Felt Nature's Fury Know That Movie Magic Pales Before the Power of Real Tornadoes
A real tornado is a furious thing whose entertainment value drops dramatically the closer it comes. Over the past decade, twisters have killed an average of 44 Americans a year, mostly during high tornado season, which runs from April through June. Still, for every person caught in the so-called suck zone of these storms, there are several who chase after them. PEOPLE caught up with a few of these pursuers, as well as a family whose homes were destroyed.

Heading north out of Omaha at 1:30 p.m. on May 17, a Rand McNally atlas open on his lap, Howard Bluestein makes two points for the correspondent who will pilot a maroon Dodge Stratus as he and Bluestein hunt for tornadoes. The first point is etymological, says Bluestein, professor of meteorology at the University of Oklahoma, occasional Weather Channel expert and a stormchaser with some 100 tornadoes on his résumé. "I've never heard a scientist or a stormchaser refer to them as twisters," says Bluestein, who was asked to be a consultant on the movie but was too busy following funnel clouds. "They are tornadoes."
Second, Bluestein, 47, advises the driver, "You need to be calm. We may be hit with golf ball-size hail and pounding rain." Having consulted his computer that morning for the latest storm blueprint from the Storm Prediction Center in Kansas City, Mo., Bluestein lays down the route for driver Jeff Schnaufer: "We're going to have to head northeast, toward the border of Iowa and Minnesota."
Bluestein indulges in some autobiography. "When I was very young," says the Boston native, whose wife of six years, Kathleen Welch, teaches English at the University of Oklahoma, "there was a tornado in Worcester, Mass. I remember my mother telling me to come into the house. She told me tornadoes take little kids and snatch them away. I didn't quite believe it." Bluestein, who graduated from MIT in 1976, saw his first tornado on May 20, 1977, near Tipton, Okla. "I want to be able to understand why tornadoes form," he says, explaining his work. "Once we learn that, I'd like to be able to improve warnings."
Bluestein hopes to be 200 miles away, in northwest Iowa, by 5:30 p.m. Late afternoon is the optimal time for thunderstorms, explains Bluestein. "And we want to be ahead of them so we can chase the most likely candidates for tornadoes." Their formation starts with a meeting of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and a cool air from the north. Then a horizontal cylinder of air rises under a dome of storm cloud. This mesocyclone becomes the tornado incubator.
Not until 2:55 p.m., outside Sloan, Iowa, does a blemish appear in the sky. "I'm happy to see a cloud," says Bluestein. A steep bank forms, then dissipates, as the car proceeds north. At 5 p.m., outside Jasper, Minn., Bluestein spots a dark base of cloud moving like a battleship across the western sky. "That's where the action is," says Bluestein. "If there is any."
There is. A radio report confirms that those clouds are mustering storm activity. A tornado appears near Watertown, S.Dak. Soon a half-dozen funnels (none of which will result in fatalities) reportedly have touched down. But that's 100 miles north of Bluestein and Schnaufer. The scientist's shoulders sag in frustration. The driver, without consulting Bluestein, accelerates to 110 mph, flying down arrow-straight country roads.
By 6:30 the team is in Bellingham, Minn., in front of the storm at last. Racing clouds, no more than 1,000 feet off the ground, unfold over them. This is the gust front, the far perimeter of the storm, where the warm and cold air collide. It's a black maw—known as "the whale's mouth," notes Bluestein, as rain and 70-mph winds nearly push the Stratus off the road.
This is monstrous weather, but still miles from the mesocyclone. "The storm is moving too fast," says a disappointed Bluestein. He finally concedes defeat at 7:40, having chased tornadoes 367 miles across four states. Asked if he'd like to cap the day by catching a screening of Twister, Bluestein answers flatly, "I'll pass."
Storm-tossed relationship
In Twister, Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt park their pickup what seems no more than 50 feet from an approaching black vortex and proceed to unload their scientific gear. Bad move, say husband-and-wife meteorologists Richard and Daphne Thompson. The closest this Kansas City, Mo., couple has come—and it is close—is 250 yards. It was May 1991, and the Thompsons were driving through the Oklahoma panhandle. "The car was hit by 50-to 70-mph gusts," says Daphne, 23. "Tumble-weeds were blowing so hard one left a dent in the car." The couple's first reaction was to pull over and watch. Says Rich, 29: "Driving too fast and getting struck by lightning are the two things that are going to kill you. Tornadoes themselves are way down the list."
To date, the Thompsons have tracked more than 200 storms and made 10 videos (for their home enjoyment) with titles like Chase to Live, Live to Chase. "We are," says Daphne, "what people call weather weenies." A Good Morning America science correspondent dubbed them Mr. and Mrs. Tornado when the Thompsons appeared on the ABC show on May 8. "I'm getting a lot of crap about that," grumbles Rich, a forecaster for the National Weather Service's storm prediction center. "I think it's kinda funny," says his spouse, an Internet Web master for the NWS.
The Thompsons, who both grew up in Texas and graduated from the University of Oklahoma, insist they are not the models for Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton in Twister, though a more tornado-touched couple would be hard to find. They met while chasing a twister in Republican City, Neb., in 1990. "It was the first tornado for either of us," says Daphne. Even their wedding in July 1994 was a weather forecaster's dream. "Probably 90 percent of the people in the church were meteorologists—including my bridesmaids," says Daphne. Outside "it was pouring cats and dogs. Then, just as the priest was giving the blessing, a huge bolt of lightning hit. It was great."
The Thompsons do admit to quarreling about the One That Got Away. "You didn't tell me to take that road," Daphne recalls complaining. Still, they plan to continue spending their vacations, weekends and holidays in search of ill winds. "It's a bad day," says Rich, "when you need the sunscreen."
A nightmare to remember
Some people have gotten a lot closer to tornadoes than even the most daring scientist. Not that they planned it that way. Around 11 p.m. on Sunday, April 21, Ed Johns, 55, noticed an eerie silence settling over his two-story English Tudor house on the outskirts of Van Buren, Ark. Then the sky got green, and the air began to vibrate with the freight-train sound that precedes so many tornadoes. Johns grabbed his wife, Sylvia, 54, and took shelter with her in their first-floor bathroom. "We were praying out loud, Ed and me," she recalls. All around them they could hear windows shattering and doors being ripped off their hinges.
Minutes earlier, a funnel cloud had touched down at Fort Smith, Ark., just across the Arkansas River from Van Buren. Generating gusts of up to 150 mph, the vortex cut a 6½-mile swath, destroying 157 homes and killing two small children. Then the twister struck Van Buren, where it wiped out 435 homes—including the Johnses'—and severely damaged 196 others. It was not the most lethal tornado of all time—that would be the storm that rampaged through Missouri, Illinois and Indiana on March 13, 1925, killing 689.
For the Johnses, the siege lasted two minutes. Then they heard a phone ringing in what had once been the family room. It was their son Dale, 35, who lived down the road in a two-story brick house with his wife, Jane, 34, and their three children. All had escaped injury by huddling in the first-floor bathroom closet. "He said they were all okay," says Ed, "but"—his voice breaks—"no home."
The next terrible concern was the safety of Dale's brother Denny, 32, his partner in designing '30s-style roadsters for classic-car buffs, and Denny's wife, Dawn, 31, and their two children, all of whom lived in a brick two-story a quarter-mile from Dale. His parents rushed over on foot. "We could see that Denny's house was flat," says his mother. "The second story was down on the ground. My heart just dropped when I saw it."
As they drew nearer, "we started calling Denny's name," says Ed. "Finally I heard him say, 'Dad!' They were all under the staircase—healthy but scared to death." Miraculously, no one in Van Buren was killed that night.
All three houses were declared totaled by their insurers. Denny and Dawn's, the hardest hit, will have to be built from scratch, starting with a new foundation. Meanwhile, the families are renting apartments in Van Buren.
Not far away from the homes that once were the Johnses', Euneva Poynor, 72, is similarly stoic. The Van Buren twister was her fourth—and, for her, the worst. It destroyed the only house she and her husband, Roy, 73, a retired Methodist minister, ever owned. The couple, like the Johnses, plan to rebuild. "Other places have earthquakes—we have tornadoes," says Euneva. "This is home."

Institutions as Knowledge Capital: Ludwig M' Lachmann's Interpretative Institutionalism
Nicolai J. Foss
Copenhagen Business School - Department of Strategic Management and Globalization
Giampaolo Garzarelli
University of the Witwatersrand - School of Economics and Business Sciences
October 2006
The paper revisits the socioeconomic theory of the Austrian School economist Ludwig M. Lachmann. By showing that the common claim that Lachmann's idiosyncratic (read: eclectic and multidisciplinary) approach to economics entails nihilism is unfounded, it reaches the following conclusions. (1) Lachmann held a sophisticated institutional position to economics that anticipated developments in contemporary new institutional economics. (2) Lachmann's sociological and economic reading of institutions offers insights for the problem of coordination. (3) Lachmann extends contemporary new institutional theory without simultaneously denying the policy approach of comparative institutional analysis.

The Mostly, er, Somewhat Manly Diaper BagCody
I got my first college backpack months before getting married and I used that backpack for 6 years until my wife finally convinced me to get a new one, right before I went to law school. I used this second backpack all throughout law school, and even a few years afterward until the zipper broke.
That's two backpacks used on a daily basis for nearly 10 years.
Casey on the other hand has gone through what seems like hundreds of various bags. Small bags, big bags, useless bags, grocery bags, peg bags, utility bags, toy bags, and on and on and on.
And having a baby turned into another reason why she needed more bags. Again, big bags, small bags, girly bags, even more girly bags, multi-colored bags, shoulder bags, backpack like bags, and on and on and on. Even though she has all these diaper bags just begging to be used, none of them were manly enough for me to feel comfortable throwing the strap over my shoulder and heading out on the town with the baby.
Usually that meant that I went out without a diaper bag and hoped like crazy that I could get out and back before Addie needed a diaper change. If I knew that wasn't going to be possible, I would load up the diaper bag and then leave it in the car at each stop. I would only use the girly-looking bag if it was absolutely necessary.
This time around with Vivi, Casey has surprisingly stuck to just one diaper bag. Before she bought our current diaper bag she made sure it was a bag that that could at least pass as gender neutral. The one she picked out isn't a bag I'd take to a concert or on a camp, but it isn't bad either. She chose an orange color, so at least I can claim that it's Denver Bronco orange.
The bag was made by Go Gaga. The company that makes the diaper bag is unfortunately no longer in business, but this bag has by far been the best one that we've ever owned. In fact once Casey learned that the company that makes the bag was closing shop, she purchased a few more diaper bags to send to friends and family who were expecting so they didn't miss out on the quality.
The diaper bag is over-the-shoulder with several compartments that have enough room to store food, toys and all the necessary baby accessories. The outside of the bag has two insulated bottle holders and a compartment for the diapers and changing pad. That way the tools that do the actual dirty work aren't tucked away inside the bag with the baby's toys and foods.
So far, I haven't purposely left the bag behind, accidentally is a different story, nor have I left the bag in the car. In fact, I have proudly placed the strap over my head and onto my shoulder as I have headed into Best Buy alone with the baby just so I could gander at the new HDTVs.

The chocolate bean, which is harvested from the cacao tree, has a long history in Costa Rica. Cacao beans were originally used as currency in the pre-Columbian times by local Indians and continued to be a form of currency into the 1930s. It was one of the major industries in Costa Rica before the introduction of coffee in the late 1700s outpaced it.
Below is a trailer for the new documentary Bean to Bar featuring Steve De Vries and graduates Annie and Robbie who founded Ritual Chocolate. Like them, during the program you will experience it all: farm to processing to manufacturing to finished product.

What our graduates have to say
"This was such an amazing program! I am beyond happy with how everything turned out. The trip was above and beyond all expectations I had for it. I knew I would enjoy myself and learn many new things, but I had no idea that I would learn as much as I did. Every day was unique and just when I thought I had had the best day, the next day would blow me away." Brianna, 2015 Program
"I thoroughly enjoyed visiting such a variety of cacao plantations and learning so much about how it is grown, the different methods and the many problems. I hadn't realized that there were so many steps with so many potential pitfalls. It was also great to see the work that was being done at CATIE and then follow it up with visits to the plantations. I loved seeing the cacao plantation and processing in action at Finmac. The final day at Sibu with the chocolate tasting, lunch and dinner wrapped up the program really well." Jill, 2015 Program
"The Costa Rica program is highly recommended for anyone looking to learn more about the steps in chocolate making that matter most: the beans, fermentation and drying. This is where all the precursor flavors are developed and will make the chocolate you produce unique. Recognized as the 2010 chocolate maker of the year by the FCIA, Steve DeVries is more than happy to pass down the chocolate wisdom he has gleaned from years of research and first-hand experience. Not only are the students immersed in the cacao growing environment from sun up to sun down, they can also ask Steve and Jorge and Julie of Sibu Chocolate any questions they have about the cacao trade. Even if your goal is not to source your own cacao and to start a chocolate making company, the Costa Rica course is highly educational with not just chocolate, but with the history and culture of Costa Rica and Central America." Robbie Stout and Anna Davies, Ritual Chocolate, 2010 Program
Cancellation policy:
Our Ecole Chocolat Master Chocolatier Programs only accommodate a limited number of students and are usually full, with a waiting list. As the programs involve a travel component, we need to contact those on the waiting list in enough time so they can make travel arrangements. If you have to cancel, we'll do everything in our power to find a replacement but can't guarantee that we'll be successful. No refunds will be given after 45 days prior to the program start date. Make sure you're totally committed to the program before paying your registration fee. We also suggest that you take out travel insurance when booking your travel to and from the program country, in case of an emergency.
Back to list of our other Master Chocolate Programs
Julio Fernández Amón (on the right above) of Sibu Chocolate is eager to share local insight on his country's past and present with signature humor and sincerity.
For Julio and his partner George Soriano, starting a chocolate business that features only organically grown cacao from Costa Rica became his way of helping protect the natural world, as well as a way to spark new interest in a growing industry for his home country. He also hopes his business will highlight the importance of cacao to Mesoamerican cultures throughout the ages.
Today, they have the only chocolate business in the country that features chocolate made from fine organic Costa Rican cacao from a single plantation.
Steve De Vries opened De Vries Chocolate with a tag line of "one hundred years behind the times" in 2005 after six years of studying chocolate – for three years as an intense hobby and three years full time.
Steve is intimately involved in the whole process of chocolate making, from working directly with growers to being hands-on with the manufacturing process using all antique equipment. He has learned that with chocolate, changes in production processes can mean major improvements in flavor.
He produces both bulk chocolate for use by chefs, candy makers and chocolatiers as well as consulting for many different chocolate makers around the globe.

Labor Day may have passed, but I'm not ready to put the grill away.
Tailgaters will be cooking over charcoal at least until Thanksgiving, and the unpredictability of northeast Ohio weather means there will be some perfect grilling days as the leaves are falling and even after the first snowfall.
Here are a couple of ideas to jazz up those grill staples - brats and burgers.
Article Photos
For this beer bratwurst recipe, the sausages simmer in a stock that includes beer, onion, garlic, ginger, caraway seeds, bay leaves and cloves. The beer bratwurst is topped with smoky beer cheese and peppers and onions and served with a grilled sweet potato and scallion salad (the recipe can be found at www.foodnetwork.com).
Because brats are thicker than hotdogs and not precooked, I usually boil them on the stove first so they can cook completely on the grill without getting too black (a little black is good). And I'll usually pour a bottle of beer in with the boiling water, as long as I have something in the house that wasn't too expensive (Yuengling, not Great Lakes).
But a recent issue of Food Network magazine (and online at www.foodnetwork.com) had a recipe for Beer Bratwurst that was more involved than I usually try.
With beer, onions, garlic, ginger, caraway seeds, bay leaves and cloves, making this simmering liquid is like making a stock.
This is one of those recipes that's more like a suggestion than something that needs to be rigidly followed. Don't have caraway seeds? It's not worth a special trip to the grocery store. Leave 'em out or substitute something else.
Is it worth the extra effort? Maybe. I was using bratwurst from Miller Livestock in Kinsman, made with pork from Berkshire piggies. These brats would taste good blackened to a crisp on a too-hot grill.
But the recipe convinced me to experiment in the future, throwing different ingredients into the pot and seeing what happens.
The brats story also listed suggested accompaniments, and one was a recipe for smoky beer cheese.
This one is a keeper. The ingredients are cheese, garlic, beer and hot sauce. What's not to like? The hot sauce gives it a hint of zing without being too overpowering for anyone and not overwhelming the other ingredients.
I liked it on the brats, but where it really shined was was on a hamburger. The creaminess of the spread contrasts well with the texture of the meat.
Quality beef and proper cooking technique are important, but the toppings are what really can make a burger special.
The smoky beer cheese and caramelized onions - sweet onions cooked low and slow with a couple tablespoons of brown sugar and some garlic beer vinegar from Greenhouse Tavern - made for one of the best burgers I've ever cooked.
The beer cheese also would make a great pretzel dip.

Elon, NC - An Elon University student has found a way to make an opportunity out of heartbreak.
19-year old Yasmine Arrington grew up without a father in the house; he was in and out of prison most of her life.
The pain and feeling of rejection have always pushed her to her limits. That was just the motivation she needed to start Scholar-CHIPS while in high school.
The program is designed to help financially support children of incarcerated parents attend college.
"A lot of our kids and our babies have parents who are in prison: have a mother, have a father, have a caregiver that has been in prison or is. And that is a financial struggle right there," she explained. "It's my personal story. I have a personal connection to it. It's not just 'oh, I feel so bad for these poor little kids.' And I'm starting this for them. My father was incarcerated."
Yasmine is one of more than an estimated 1-5 million children in the United States who spend their lives with a parent in prison.
She says the reality can leave a child feeling "left out."
Yasmine's father was incarcerated 16 of her 19-years of life.
"When I was younger, I often felt lonely, even though my mother was there, I was just like where is my dad?"
These days, Yasmine's father is out of prison. The two have mended their estranged relationship but the college sophomore knows the story doesn't always end happily.
"It's not our children's fault," she said.
It is why she wants to give as many of them an opportunity at higher education.
"I know the financial struggles that come with that and i also know the emotional struggle, especially for younger people," she said.
In just the last four years, Scholar-CHIPS has given children of incarcerated parents $11,000 to go to college.
The program is now only available in the DC-Maryland-Virginia area
But Yasmine says she's working to expand that - perhaps to the Triad.

Who Is Patti Hansen? Just the Successor to Tiegs and Fawcett, or So Says Scavullo
In an age of small cars, tight money and diminished expectations, Patti is a smashing reminder that bigger can be better. Her 5'9" height is quite standard for today's mannequins, but at 130 pounds she's got a sexy extra 15 pounds of lushness on the competition that is causing a storm on Seventh Avenue. "Patti," proclaims fashion photographer Francesco Scavullo, "makes Cheryl Tiegs and Farrah Fawcett seem old hat."
Indeed, Hansen earns $200 per hour for print and $2,000 a day plus residuals for TV spots—tops in the business. At 23, she already has 72 magazine covers, and on TV she draws the blow-dryer pistols in the cowboy spoof for Revlon's Flex shampoo. Her annual take now approaches $300,000.
Unobsessed by the model's usual narcissistic concerns, Patti neither exercises nor dotes over her diet, skin or sleep. She often loads up on junk food, and when she feels fat simply goes on a yogurt binge for a week. She'll run into a store and blow $100 on skin moisturizers, then never use them. "I have such different moods," she says. "Sometimes I'll lock myself in my apartment and sleep all day. Then I'll get this mad urge to go out and dance all night at Studio 54."
Work revives her. "I love to be different people," Patti explains. "I don't relate to any of my photographs as Patti Hansen." Particularly a nude beach shot taken by Helmut Newton for Vogue two years ago that wound up instead in the "Celebrity Skin" section of High Society. Patti sued to stop the distribution of that issue—and won a preliminary injunction.
Director Peter Bogdanovich, who once molded another model, Cybill Shepherd, into a movie star, also misread Patti. After she appeared on the cover of Esquire 14 months ago in a vixenish pose for a story proclaiming "the year of the lusty woman," Bogdanovich thought he'd cast her to that type. But he was shocked when she strolled into his office in T-shirt and jeans, several of her young nieces and nephews in tow. Shifting gears, he eventually gave her the role of a cab driver in They All Laughed, which starts filming next month with Ben Gazzara and Audrey Hepburn. Hansen has even been offered a record contract. "How could they do that? I can't even sing," she marvels. "They say, 'Don't worry, we'll just put all this music and things in it.' That's such a cheat," figures Patti.
Born of Norwegian stock on Staten Island, Patricia Elvina Hansen is the youngest of six children. The daughter of a housewife and a bus driver who later opened a hot dog stand near the Staten Island ferry, Patti considered herself "gawky and skinny" as a teenager. No one else did, however, and one day after her sophomore year at Tottenville High, friends of the family sent a fashion photographer they knew to see her. That night they went to a party given by Wilhelmina, herself an ex-model and founder of the second biggest modeling agency in New York. It was Patti's first real date and her first night in Manhattan. "I was really frightened," she recalls, but Wilhelmina signed her immediately and sent her to Julie Britt, then fashion editor of Glamour. Britt took one look and declared, "You're going to be the new image."
Patti, then 16, never completed high school—a decision she now regrets. To compensate, she is now hacking away at a reading list heavy on Hemingway and Fitzgerald (her one hang-up: "I hate sad endings"). Last year Patti took acting lessons in California, then returned to New York to study with the formidable Stella Adler but dropped out because "she scared the sh-- out of me."
Restoring her optimistic outlook is usually as easy as visiting her family or flying to the Bahamas. In her small apartment on lower Fifth Avenue, Patti is constantly changing the decor. One year-round decoration: a lighted Christmas tree. On the road, she takes a mound of scarfs with her to throw over hotel room lamps to dim the light for a more homey effect.
She is "handled" by four agent types, a lawyer and an accountant, but there is no John Derek on the horizon. Hansen has never had a resident boyfriend and is determinedly unattached. "I'm afraid to lose anybody," she explains. "I don't even want to have animals." Her escorts include leather designer Billy Tsutsos and musicians, because "they have such crazy energy." One important fashion editor warns that "Patti is in a devouring business, and people worry that she'd better get her act together or she'll burn out at 25." Photographer Scavullo is not quite so pessimistic. He describes Patti Hansen as "the Marilyn Monroe of the '80s."

A high school principal in Florida is under investigation for using hypnosis on his students after two of the students he hypnotized committed suicide.
A school official says George Kenney, 51-year-old former principal of North Port High School in Sarasota, did not comply when he was told to limit his hypnotism to a psychology class.
The case has left some in the Sarasota County School District to speculate that there's a possible connection to the students' deaths.
"We have a story here that involves students, a principle, suicide and hypnosis. Because two events occur does not mean that one caused the other," said Mark Zimmerman, Kenney's attorney.
"Hypnosis creates conditions for relaxation so that the hypnotist can guide a student. So you have a lot of influence, authority, and responsibility," explained Dr. Michael Welner, professor of psychiatry at New York University's School of Medicine.
No criminal charges have been filed against Kenny. He says he used hypnosis to motivate students to focus on school.
Kenney is on leave and assigned to an administrative job while a police investigation proceeds.

The man known as "Son of Hamas" says he's thankful to be given asylum in the U.S.
"I'm grateful to God," said Mosab Yousef. "Second, I'm grateful for everybody who prayed, sent a letter or made a phone call."
Those were Yousef's first words after learning he will not be deported back to the West Bank. His father was a leader in the Hamas terrorist organization.
Yousef left Islam for Christianity and became an Israeli spy. He wrote about his experiences in his book entitled "Son of Hamas." Since then, he's faced death threats and warnings not to return home.
"I will keep fighting the idealogy that is behind the terrorists," Yousef said. I know how they think and I know this is the real danger that is facing liberty, facing freedom, facing humanity."
Yousef also said he looks forward to celebrating the Fourth of July and becoming an American citizen.

The study reported by Simonsen et al1 in the February 14, 2005, issue of the ARCHIVES is counterintuitive to those of us with clinical experience and will surprise many of our public health decision makers. In keeping with best practice guidelines, clinicians have aspired to ever-higher coverage rates for influenza immunization for our older patients. Now it appears that immunizing older patients apparently makes little or no impression on the commonly encountered flu viruses of the past 30-plus years, as best as can be discerned from mortality patterns among the elderly. This contrasts with data from other studies, however.2

Next Kit?
Hello All,
Seeking my next kit. I'm a novice builder with two Steven's Aero kits under my belt (Buzz 100 & SHAFT 400). I was going to build a Daddy-O 525, and I probably still will, but I'm looking for something a little bigger. I really like the look of both the Hangar 9 Toledo Special and the Sig Rascal 72. But what I don't like is that they are ARFs. Don't get me wrong, I taught myself how to fly with a UM T-28 and stepped up to the larger one, but now that I've built two of my own, I can't stand the thought of showing up at the field with something that somebody else built.
So I'm looking for options. I'd like a wingspan in the 65" to 80" range, high wing and tail dragger. It will be electric. If the Rascal 72 or the Toledo were kitted I'd buy one in a heartbeat so that's the look I'm after. No scale jobs, It may sound odd but I'm on this kick where I want my toys to look like toys. I guess that's why I like the old free flight designs.
Suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Here you go; http://shop.balsausa.com/product_p/426.htm . The Balsa USA Student Trainer is right up your alley for a first large build that has that "old timer sportster" look.
The only things I see is that you'd have add a battery mount if you want to electric. Also, the pics look funky with the tricycle gear but I read somewhere that the kit has the option to make it a tail dragger.

Thanks Mike, I'll do some research on that one. If it can go tail wheel it's a contender. I see your in San Diego and work with UAS. I was based at NAS North Island for three years when I was flying for the DoD. I also recently spent a few days at NASA Langley test flying HUDs with synthetic vision and EFVS. After the last day of testing they let me check out their UAS simulator and their hangar. In the back corner there was a workshop filled with RC airplanes used for training, test beds and such. Saw some cool stuff. They let me take pics so maybe not as cool as the stuff you fly. But somebody there is getting paid to build and fly toy airplanes......cool!

People seem to ask this question regularly. I have a hard time with these types of questions, as the list of airplanes I want to build, is longer than the life time I have left.
You have done a great job of thinking out what it is your after. Many folks asking this question think we can read their minds I guess, as they simply ask "What should I build"?
Sig makes some great kits. I'm surprised a Rascal in kit form. The do have a 4 Star 120 with a 81 inch wing span and the famous Astro Hog with a 71 " wing span: http://www.sigmfg.com/cgi-bin/dpsmar...L+Sig+bixm3753
While at SIG, you could also look at their Cadet series.
Hobby Lobby has their Telemaster kits, most have 73 inch wing spans or larger:http://www.hobbyexpress.com/balsa_rc_airplane_kits_213_ctg.htm[/url]
You could also look at Tower Hobbies:
The above are places I like to visit to see what's available. There are many newer manufacturers and/or manufacturers that I'm unaware of; or, just don't pay attention too, that others can steer you towards.
The fact that you have eliminated Scale, is limiting; but, certainly your choice. Good luck, have fun!
You could also consider the Alien Aircraft FunMaster 72: http://www.alienaircraft.com/.

Guys, Thanks for the suggestions.
I've been looking for a build thread on the BUSA Student Trainer. I can't tell from the lousy pictures if I'll like the looks, specifically the nose.
I check the SIG website on a regular basis, looking for new kits. They've had a bunch of new ARFs but no new kits. I like the Skywalker but not for this build.
The Telemaster 40 looks promising. It's lacking in the old timer looks though. If I rounded the tail feathers and wing tips and was able to come up with a streamlined cowl I think it would look very much like I what I want. For some of you experienced builders a light bash like that might not be a big deal but I'm not certain if I've got the skills to do that yet. I also like the option to build it lighter, especially for electric.
The FunMaster 72's lines are a little too square. I don't think I can get it to look the way I want.
As you can tell aesthetics are important to me in this build. It's not just my first larger build, it will be an airplane I keep for a very long time and likely my last build for a couple of years as I've got a 4 year old boy and a little girl due in March. Time will be in short supply! So it really needs to hit me the right way because I wont have the time to build, fly and move on to the next kit.
Regardless, thank you all for the help, you've shown me a few kits that I hadn't considered.

I guess I didn't catch that you liked the old free flight type airplanes. They look like beautiful sculptures to me and not toys. Suggest you visit this website: http://www.antiquemodeler.org/sam_ne...rs/vendors.htm

Bob Holman makes some nice partial kits. I've built a few and they are always spot on. He supplies all the ribs and curved pieces, you supply the strip wood. Might be worth a look at the the old time gas section.
Looks like Sig makes a 49" rascal kit. http://www.sigmfg.com/cgi-bin/dpsmar...L+Sig+bixm3753

Also, since I'm here I might as well post an update. My wife knew I was looking for a kit that resembled the aforementioned airplanes and wanted to get me one for Christmas. She couldn't find one so she just bought me the Toledo Special ARF instead. Surprised the heck out of me since she knows I wanted a kit. Her reasoning was that it took me a year to finish the last kit with my work and family obligations, and with baby number two on the way it's not going to get any easier. So, she wanted me to have something to fly while I find and build exactly what I want. On that note I've been browsing plans in the old timer sub forum and I think I'm going to have to venture in to the world of scratch building to get just what I want.
Merry Christmas All!!

Regarding "My money is on Meg Whitman for governor," (Aug. 15): Roger Gitlin appears to be Sean Hannity's clone, espousing opinion as fact, and then selling fear as fact. He apparently knows little about Jerry Brown, though he sounds like the expert.
Read www.factcheck.org/2010/07/jerry-brown-a-legacy-of-failure and get some facts.
By the way, our present governor is a Republican, businessman and entrepreneur, the same as Whitman, and the difference is what? Citizens and voters need to read facts and learn.

It's never too early to talk about next year's NFL Draft, especially with the lockout still in place.
As the new college football season approaches, scouts will begin to take notes and analysts will fill their draft boards with the potential NFL superstars that will be playing in the college ranks during the 2011 season.
The Florida Gators struggled in 2010, but they return a solid group of players who aim to make a bigger impact in 2011.
Perhaps the most draftable Gator, Janoris Jenkins, was dismissed from the team after a third charge of marijuana possession during his tenure as a Florida Gator.
Nevertheless, the Gators are a factory when it comes to grooming future NFL stars. Although, the 2011 Gators might be a little weaker than the program is accustomed to, these players still have high potential heading into this next season and even the next NFL Draft.
Let's take a look at the 10 most draftable Gators in the upcoming 2011 season.
