Belkin today released its Keyboard Folio for iPad 2, a $100 Bluetooth keyboard case. Like Adonit's Writer 2 (review coming soon), Belkin's take on the iPad keyboard/case is a faux suede folio with attached BT keyboard and placeholder to carry the iPad 2 around in.
Belkin is betting its "TruType" keys set the Keyboard Folio apart from other keyboard cases — the keys look a little larger, flatter and more like the keys you'd see on a Mac than many other versions of the keyboard case out there — good news for clumsy fingers (like mine).
The folio has a built-in battery with a claimed 60-hour life, a micro-USB port for charging the battery, adjustable viewing angles and a design that keeps the keyboard away from the iPad's screen when closed. There's also a switch that toggles between two modes: typing and viewing; not sure what that's about though. Any ideas?

Skip to comments.Newt 2012 Letter to TV Stations Regarding False Ads From Romney's Super PAC
Posted on 02/18/2012 1:37:04 AM PST by Marguerite
February 16, 2012
General Manager/Station Manager/Vice President
Re: False and Misleading Advertisements Produced by the Restore Our Future Super PAC
Dear Sir or Madam:
This letter issues on behalf of Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives (the House), Republican candidate for President of the United States, and his principal campaign committee, Newt 2012, Inc.
It has recently come to our attention that your station has either been asked to run, or may soon be asked to run, various advertising spots produced by the Mitt Romney aligned Super PAC, Restore Our Future, Inc. (ROF). Included among the Romney advertisements submitted to your station for broadcast are likely to be various spots that specifically mention Speaker Gingrich and assert that he partnered with Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in support of legislation providing financial support for Chinas one-child policy.
The content of these advertisements state and/or suggest that Speaker Gingrich co-sponsored a bill with Nancy Pelosi that would have given $60 million a year to a U.N. program supporting Chinas brutal one-child policy. This statement is fundamentally NOT TRUE, or as PolitiFact.org put it a Pants on Fire lie. In fact, as clearly shown by the language of the actual legislation at issue and the false ratings given to these ROF ads by various media and fact-check organizations, ANY statement, suggestion, or innuendo that Speaker Gingrich supported Chinas one-child policy or worked with Congresswoman Pelosi to provide funds for such a policy is fundamentally false and misleading. If published after your receipt of this letter, it will be a knowing publication of a false statement. As such, it represents a defamatory communication, which exposes this station to potential civil liability.
In turn, we do hereby DEMAND that your station immediately REFUSE, and if started, CEASE airing any such advertisements and refrain from broadcasting their content until such time as the libelous statements have been removed.
Any statement or suggestion that Speaker Gingrich worked with Speaker Pelosi to provide funding for a U.N. program supporting Chinas one-child policy is unequivocally false. A basic review of the piece of legislation referenced in ROFs advertisements undeniably establishes the invalidity of such an accusation.
The statement of concern in ROFs advertisements relates to a piece of legislation known as House Resolution 1078, which was introduced on February 22, 1989 but never passed. That bill, labeled as the Global Warming Prevention Act of 1989, primarily set national goals for the reduction of atmospheric carbon dioxide and encouraged countries around the world to forge agreements addressing greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the legislation required the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency to monitor various environmental problems associated with greenhouse gases and develop plans for a future administrative response to such problems.
As part of these efforts, the bill also called for the federal government to provide financial support to certain developing countries that endeavored to pursue economic growth in an environmentally-sensitive fashion. In conjunction with this financial aid effort, the language of H.R. 1078 specifically called for monetary support of the United Nations Population Fund (UNPF), an international development agency focused on helping developing countries and their citizens tackle various problems associated with population growth, migration, aging, climate change, urbanization, gender inequality, poverty, and disease.
The language in the ROF advertisements at issue specifically contends that H.R. 1078 would have provided $60 million a year to UNPF, which may or may not have been involved in supporting family planning activities in China. According to ROF, this would have included financial support for the nations one-child policy, the Chinese governments effort to limit internal population growth to one child per couple through methods such as forced sterilization and abortion. As set forth below, however, this ROF contention regarding H.R. 1078 is fundamentally and absolutely FALSE.
The claim is false because the explicit language of H.R. 1078, Section 1102, Part C specifically prohibits any funding provided under the bill to be used for the performance of involuntary sterilization or abortion or to coerce any person to accept family planning. (See Attachment #1, p. 2). Based upon this provision in the legislation, no funding (let alone 60 million dollars) could have been provided to UNPF if it in any way participated in activities associated with, supporting or promoting Chinas one-child policy. And no matter what ROF claims to the contrary, H.R. 1078 clearly prohibits the federal government from providing a single dollar of assistance to any public health or aid organization supporting sterilization, abortion, or coerced family planning in China or any other country.
Beyond these facts, however, it is also important to note that the veracity of ROFs one-child policy claims has been openly called into question by a variety of impartial observers since the Super PAC first began producing television spots attacking Gingrichs co-sponsorship of H.R. 1078. When ROF ran similar spots in Florida leading up to the states January 31st presidential preference primary, PolitiFact Florida openly criticized the claim and characterized it as Pants on Fire, its lowest Truth-O-Meter rating and a brand of abject falsity. (See Attachment #2). In light of ROFs recent decision to run ads making the same statements in Georgia, PolitiFact Georgia has also reached the same conclusion rating ROFs one-child policy claim a Pants on Fire lie. (See Attachment #3). Other members of the news media have also picked up on PolitiFacts analysis and/or independently reported on the falsity of ROFs one-child policy claims, including The New Yorker, The Atlantic, ABC News, FactCheck.org, and WZVN-TV in Florida. (See Attachment #4, pg. 2 & Attachments #5-7).
In sum, there is absolutely no support for the one-child policy claims made by ROF in its latest Georgia advertisements. Not only does the language of the legislation itself stand in direct contradiction to ROFs statements about Speaker Gingrich, but various neutral parties have independently assessed the one-child policy claims and judged them to be fundamentally untrue. As such, this station should consider statements attempting to link Speaker Gingrich to support for Chinas one-child policy in any ROF advertising as patently false, misleading, and defamatory. And, given the fact that the language of H.R. 1078 is abundantly clear and part of the general public record, we are left with no other conclusion but to assume that such communications by ROF are made with either knowledge or reckless disregard of their inherent falsity.
Through the above repudiation of the falsities contained within ROFs present Georgia television spots regarding Speaker Gingrich and H.R. 1078, your station has been given notice and absolute knowledge of the defamatory nature of such advertisements. As a result, any further attempt to broadcast or communicate such advertisements or any of their inaccurate content to the general public will expose your station to potential liability for both libel and false light invasion of privacy. In turn, and as previously stated above, we do hereby request that your station immediately cease airing any such false advertisements and completely refrain from broadcasting their content until such time as the aforementioned defamatory statements have been removed.
Please govern your actions accordingly. We look forward to receiving your prompt reply to this correspondence and request that any questions regarding its contents be directed to my attention.
PATRICK N. MILLSAPS Deputy General Counsel, Newt 2012
Gingrich says that by running the ad, it would be a "knowing publication of a false statement," which fits the definition of malice under libel statutes in many states.
I hope they don't let up. These untruthful political action groups should be held responsible. I don't blame Newt, I would not want someone publicly making false claims of my character.
"He co-sponsored a bill with Nancy Pelosi that would have given $60 million a year to a U.N. program supporting Chinas brutal one-child policy," says the voice in the ad paid for by Restore Our Future. The super PAC is run by supporters of Mitt Romney.
Restore Our Future refers to House Resolution 1078, which was introduced on Feb. 22, 1989, before Gingrich became speaker and when Democrats had control of the House of Representatives.
The legislation was called the Global Warming Prevention Act of 1989. It set national goals to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and encouraged international agreements to address global warming, PolitiFact Florida reported. It required the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency to monitor global warming and create plans for future action. It supported stricter fuel standards for cars and alternative energy. It also sent money to developing countries to encourage practices that reduce carbon emissions.
The bill had several hearings but received unfavorable reviews from the administration of George H.W. Bush and never became law.
The Restore Our Future website says the $60 million went to the United Nations Population Fund and that President Ronald Reagan withheld funds from the program after he determined the program, which supports family planning and contraception, was supporting Chinese actions.
The bill did propose money for the United Nations Population Fund. But Section 1102, Part C, of the bill prohibits using any of the funds for "the performance of involuntary sterilization or abortion or to coerce any person to accept family planning." That is the exact opposite of the language in Restore Our Futures ad about Gingrich.
As we mentioned, PolitiFact Florida rated this claim Pants On Fire."
The news circulation of Romney's lying ads against Newt, coordinate nicely with Santorum's anti-Romney "mudslinging" ad - Rombo.
Those two creeps Mitt&Rick are disputing among themselves the order in P/VP.
Section 1102, Part C, of the bill prohibits using any of the funds for "the performance of involuntary sterilization or abortion or to coerce any person to accept family planning." That is the exact opposite of the language in Restore Our Futures ad about Gingrich."
Many republicans were in such a panic to stop Romney, now created another flawed weak candidate to rise in that process. The candidate has not even went through any descent amount of vetting. No way a candidate under those circumstances could hold up in the general. (perfect October surprise scenario as well) Romney truly is a liar. Thank you posting. I learn alot at this forum.
I do hope that as well. Mitt Sleaze Romney crossed the line of decency. I do hope he'll pay from his own pocket as much money in fines, as his super PACs spent to smear Speaker Gingrich.
Gingrich Calls Romney A "Liar"
"Somebody who will lie to you to get to be president will lie to you when if he become president." — Newt Gingrich
That is one of those negative ads in which the Speaker confronted Romney with at one of the debates. I recall Romney responding to say that he would check into it. Newt is pro-life, those accusations cut deep. Thank you for your great posts.
"I recall Romney responding to say that he would check into it. Newt is pro-life, those accusations cut deep."
Here it is: Romney lying live at GOP debate in New Hampshire
Do you recall this?
Romney Busted For Claiming He Didn't Know About his campaign Ad Where Gingrich Calls Spanish "Language of Ghetto"
When confronted with an ad saying that Gingrich called Spanish, "the language of the ghetto", Romney said he doubted it was his ad. He gets busted by Wolf Blitzer.
At the end of the ad, it's Romney's voice, saying in halting Spanish "I am Mitt Romney and I approve this message".
He's such a despicable, dishonorable man; lying live on TV, while eight million people were watching him.
Yes! I'll never forget that. He turned to Newt and said, said, "it's true?"
Mitt knew his mendacious ad was a lie. He lied to Newt, he lied to Blitzer, he lied to the Republican voters in Florida and he lied to the eight million audience.
You're an idiot. Gingrich rocks but people like you aren't doing anything but hurting his campaign. Why are you attacking Santorum? He has nothing at all to do with this and is running an honest and upstanding campaign.
Marguerite, shows me that the Romney camp, supporters, gop establishment would sell their souls to win the White House. Outrageous LIES about the Speaker and they question Newt's christianity?
GO NEWT! 2012! We will never give up the fight!
Really? LOLOLOLOLOL
Are you only aware that Santorum campaign was running negative ads against Gingrich in ... Missouri, where Newt wasn't even on the ballot?
Are you aware that Santorum is aping Romney in that?
Here is Newt's reply to Santorum uncalled for attacks:
"Atlanta, GA — Newt 2012 National Security Advisor Stephen Yates shared the following statement in response to Senator Rick Santorum's criticism of Newt Gingrich's American space policy:
"I am deeply concerned that Senator Santorum so easily relinquishes space development to the Chinese and Russians.
"American success in space is not only about being the first to develop a station on the moon. It is just as much about the explosion of math, science, engineering and national security technology that will launch America into a new age of innovation and prosperity.
"We owe it to ourselves to set grandiose goals and then achieve them. It is the American way."
Are you aware that Santorum enthusiastically endorsed the SAME Romney in 2008, calling him "the true conservative we need"?
Whether you agree with me or not, there is no shadow of a doubt that Santorum was and remains an opportunistic politician, who turns the side of his sweater as the wind blows ...
I could line up just as many attack points on Gingrich. Instead, I try to promote Santorum and unload with both barrels on the idiots who think they are helping Gingrich by attacking Santorum.
"Santorum? He has nothing at all to do with this and is running an honest and upstanding campaign
Really? LOLOLOLOLOL"
Now seriously:
Here is a quote from Santorum's book that should scare anyone who wants the government out of their lives.
"This whole idea of personal autonomy, well I dont think most conservatives hold that point of view. Some do. They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, that we shouldnt get involved in the bedroom, we shouldnt get involved in cultural issues. You know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world and I think most conservatives understand that individuals cant go it alone. That there is no such society that I am aware of, where weve had radical individualism and that it succeeds as a culture."
He truly believes that the government belongs in our bedrooms because "individuals can't go it alone."
Santorum wants to use the government to impose his own morals on everyone else and he seems to have a special fascination imposing his own brand of "clean" sex. That's pretty scary, when you analyze what he says and what is hidden between his words.
I never heard a genuine conservative promoting the intrusion of government in people's private lives.
When Santorum STOPS attacking Newt, I'll think about it. Until then, like all other candidates, his deeds are fair game.
I learned a lot about his career, his writings and declarations in the last days, and I like him less because of all I found. He was flying under the radar until last week, but now he's like a deer caught into the car lights.
Just get used to it: ALL the candidates must be thoroughfully vetted and Santorum is no exception.
The Romney Slime Machine at work.
This is an amazing, public, "big lie" in the tradition of Goebbels.
Romney has done this kind of thing throughout the campaign. I've no doubt he was behind the sexual innuendo campaign waged against Herman Cain. I've no doubt he was behind the "racist rock" campaign against Rick Perry. I've no doubt he is behind the grossly out-of-context "dangers of contraception" quote dug up by Time Magazine against Rick Santorum.
The Romney Slime Machine says that Romney is a cheap shot liar, his politcal flip-flops peg him a liar, and the debates have proven him a liar. Remember the book quote shown by both Perry and Santorum, and remember Romney denying the quote even though it's there in black and white?
That's Romney. He is incapable of truth.
It is not only Romney with his shameless lies and distortions, who plays on the fact that too many American still get the "News" from the radio and TV and are too lazy to check out the veracity of his libelous screeds.
It is also the fault of the TV and radio stations, which pretend that it is not their obligation to verify the veracity of the ads, as long as they harvest gazillions for airing them. Bloody hypocrites.
If tomorrow I buy time on all national TV stations with an add telling the truth, that Obama voted twice for partial abortions and voted against saving the life of a viable baby, born from a late abortion attempt, do you really think they will air it?
I really wish that Gingrich's attorneys will pursue in a court of justice all the media who are running that despicable, defamatory ad for libel, and made them spit millions in defense fees and procedure. Serve them right.
To attack a man, whose pro-life record is irreproachable, by Romney of all people, who switched his "convictions" as a weathercock spinning with the wind, is simply revolting.
As for Romney, I wouldn't give him the time of the day, were I to meet him. He is a repulsive snake. Everything in his attitude, his false smile, his machine-gun-like speech, his carnivorous smirk, his robot-like body language reveal a soulless, heartless parvenu. Even his wealth is repulsive, not because he is rich, but because he became rich by throwing into misery thousands and thousands of American workers, who asked for no more than having a decent pay to take care of their families. I saw what
Mr. Mitt Bain did in Florida, I saw the wasteland he left behind, carrying away hundreds of millions and leaving on place 1,700 broken families.
I wouldn't trust such a man, and I don't trust him to guard my purse, when I go to the ladies room to powder my nose...
Great collection of links.
Thanks for posting it.
I stay out of the "Gingrich" threads, but it's hard when they turn into baseless personal attacks on Rick Santorum.
Anyway, half the time the "pro-Newt" threads are damaging enough. How much more could you say in a thread where the POSITIVE message is that Gingrich worked with Pelosi to restore Reagan-cut funding to the UN Planning Fund? And the reason this is "good" is that the legislation says UNPF can't use the money for the one-child policy. Cool. Like anything else the UNPF was doing was just great.
Yes, but some think he should be an exception..they are so blind because even Santorums team says he has to address all these issues of his record and what he says....so people who somehow imagine he's "excused" aren't living in the real world but one of their imagination....and there sure seems to be many of them.
Even if Santorum stopped attacking Newt...won't make a difference to me. I'm conserative but he is so far off the edge of right wing it's scary....as someone said Santorum is more religious than the POPE!
His self-rightous mindset has often made Pennsylvanians cringe...which he's trying hard to hide from the public now he's running. But it creeps out along the way.
There are some things I like about Santorum...but he is not the best we have....Newt is and clearly so! And Santorum just willl not stand the test when up against obama...
Santorum says he's the opposite of Obama...well he's going to have to articulate his points and his counter-attacks to obama and the guy just isn't that quick witted to pull it off. I see him stumbling just as we see him do now.
I will not be happy if Santorum even gets close to the Presidency....frankly I would have prefered Perry..and I wasn't excited about him either
No she didn't. She turned the torch over to the 1994 republican congress. Nancy Reagan: "Barry Goldwater handed the torch to Ronnie. And in turn, Ronnie turned that torch over to Newt and the Republican members of Congress to keep that dream alive."
And you know who was among those "republican members of Congress? -- Rick Santorum. So Rick Santorum has as much claim to the "Torch" as Newt Gingrich.
Newt consistently has gone up against Washington and those who would have things just stay the same o' good boys club. I laugh when people say he was an insider...LOL...of course he was and why he was able to pull off all the accomplishments for conservatism that he did!
Too many people are seeking a "perfect" candidate....I will take any and all of Newt's mis-steps over even half of others who have served attempting to get the job done. Newt DID the DEEDS while others excused why they couldn't or blamed others.
Also...there were many things accomplished that Newt never took credit for which he was responsible for making them happen....he gave the glory he could have otherwise had to others...but he knew and those of us who have looked into these happenings and events know where if it weren't for Newt those things would not have happened for the good of this country.
I see a lot of pictures with Newt and Clinton as well.
Santorum wasn't in office when Reagan was President — he was first elected in 1991, halfway through Bush's presidency. So why would there be pictures of him with Reagan? It's like saying you don't see pictures of Sarah Palin with Reagan.
The fact is that Santorum was a republican member the house when Nancy Reagan said that the Reagan passed the torch to the republican members of the house. Reports are that even Nancy Reagan herself has pointed this out.
I wouldn't use that quote if I were a Newt supporter, because it just reminds people of how Newt tends to overplay HIS role in things, and seek individual glory.
And what would Michael Reagan know? He wasn't a congressman during that time, he's a talk show host who endorsed Gingrich — why would he mention Santorum? I mean, I guess it's nice that Michael endorsed Newt, but I think it's more important that Perry endorsed Newt.
And Michael Reagan has no more authority to claim who Ronald Reagan would have endorsed than you or I. We don't inherent greatness.
"His self-rightous mindset has often made Pennsylvanians cringe...which he's trying hard to hide from the public now he's running. But it creeps out along the way."
And now it makes other people than Pennsylvanians cringe.
Me included.
"Reports are that even Nancy Reagan herself has pointed this out."
Nancy Reagan 1995: 'Ronnie turned that torch over to Newt'
1995 Goldwater Institute Dinner honoring President Ronald Reagan: "The dramatic movement of 1995 is an outgrowth of a much earlier crusade that goes back half a century. Barry Goldwater handed the torch to Ronnie, and in turn Ronnie turned that torch over to Newt and the Republican members of Congress to keep that dream alive" - Nancy Reagan
"I see a lot of pictures with Newt and Clinton as well."
Of course, and why not?
Newt led the charge in the legislative elections - under president Clinton administration - in 1994, when the Republicans won, for the FIRST time in 40 years, both the House AND the Senate majority.
As Speaker of the House, Newt had to work with the president in place, so no wonder you can see those photos.
What's amazing is that you're carping about it.
Source or link for these reports, please?
"And what would Michael Reagan know?"
Michael Reagan was 35-year-old when his father became president in 1980. So he well knows about EVERYTHING which happened during Reagan's two term presidency.
I've just posted it on THIS thread.
Post #38
Thank you for the confirmation of what I posted way back up the thread. Nancy didn't pass the torch just to Newt, she passed it to ALL the Republican members of Congress. Santorum was one of those members, so Ronnie passed the torch to Rick Santorum.
I strongly doubt that Ronald Reagan was ever aware of Santorum's existence.
I hope you are fully aware of Santorum's vicious attacks against Newt, while Newt has never attacked him.
Jan 31, 2012
"The Santorum campaign is out with a new radio ad attacking Newt Gingrich, ABC News has learned.
The negative ad says Gingrich is not a true conservative and that is why he lost Tuesday evening to Mitt Romney in the Florida primary.
The Florida results are in, and despite spending millions, Newt Gingrich went from a big lead to a big defeat. Why? Because voters discovered Gingrich wasnt a true conservative, the voice over reads."

"Pro-Santorum Super PAC Ad Takes First Negative Shot at Gingrich
The Red, White and Blue Funds latest television commercial, called The Only One, will air in the Minneapolis market comparing Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich to President Obama. The states caucuses are Feb. 7.
The 30-second spot shows images of Obama, Romney and Gingrich while the announcer says, Theyre not so different."
February 3, 2012
"Santorum's ad, which is running on satellite radio, according to the Hill newspaper, states that, "Reckless spending has led to $15 trillion of national debt. And what does Newt Gingrich suggest? Spending half a trillion dollars on a moon colony." The ad goes on to provide a quote of Gingrich proposing the lunar base. Then it describes the idea as "fiscal insanity.""
It will be a chilly day in hell, when Gingrich chooses Santorum as VP
My comment was asking the poster to whom the question was addressed for a source or link to his statement that "reports are" that Nancy Reagan herself had pointed out something that validates his (the poster's) inference that Ms. Reagan's comment about Newt meant something other than what she said. Your #38 is not responsive to my question. Thanks for trying, though.
You replied to me with a blog post that purports to quote Andrea Mitchell (okay...) purporting to cite anonymous "sources close to Nancy Reagan (seriously?) that she was referring generally to Congress.
Do you have a source or link to a legitimate or recognized news source that says specifically what you contend, which is that Nancy Reagan herself has pointed out that she was NOT referring specifically to Newt in the video clip where she says Ronnie has passed the torch to Newt and the Republican members of Congress? Or, maybe even a source/link that verifies that Nancy Reagan has ever clarified or expanded upon in any way the comments she made in 1995 at the Goldwater Institute?
I suspect that you're right. But, now that I've seen Wayne's reply to you in his #45, the only conclusion is that he's being deliberately obtuse, as is his wont. There's probably no point in discussing it with him any further.

HOUSTON—We'll get to the dominating defensive performance by Alex Oriakhi in a moment.
First, let's delve into that jumper of his. Oriakhi is a rough-and-tumble sophomore, a 6-foot-9 enforcer for the Connecticut Huskies. He has great hands and developing touch around the basket—very near the basket.
But with momentum in the national title game squarely in Connecticut's corner—the Huskies were on a 21-6 run to open the second half against Butler—Oriakhi decided to show off that shooting range of his. He took a pass from Jeremy Lamb and knocked down a baseline jumper from about 12 feet.
"My teammates did a great job of finding me, and all I had to do was hit an open jump shot," Oriakhi said. "My teammates had confidence in me to get me the ball, and I didn't really have to do much."
Sounds simple. But is that a shot that's typical in his repertoire?
"I mean, I don't take a lot of those," Oriakhi admitted with a grin, "but I'm in the gym a lot working on those. You never know when you're going to have to use it. It worked out for me."
It certainly did. That jumper gave UConn a 41-28 lead with 7:32 left, and most people in Reliant Stadium had the same thought—game over.
Which begs the question: Does he take that shot if it's a tie game instead of a game the Huskies are on the verge of clinching.
He smiles again, as he often does, and admits, "Nah, that's Kemba. I'm giving it to Kemba. With seven minutes on the clock, if it was to decide the game, I wouldn't be taking it. We all know who's going to be taking it, and that's Kemba."
Kemba Walker has been Mr. Big Shot for the Huskies all year, but he was just 5-for-19 from the field against Butler. "This is the kind of game I'm thinking, 'Man, I need my teammates to step up,' and that's what they did," Walker said.
No one stepped up bigger than Oriakhi.
He dropped in two of Connecticut's first three baskets in the game and added four rebounds by the end of the first half, though he played just seven minutes because of foul trouble. As he said after the game, when a Connecticut player gets two fouls in the first half, that means they're sitting until halftime.
That gave Tyler Olander a chance to talk with his teammate.
"I just kept telling him when he came out, 'Be tired tomorrow. Be tired tomorrow. Be tired as a champion. Leave no regrets,' " Olander said. "He was saying, 'Yeah, you right. You're right.' I just give so much credit to him. I remember coming in this summer and just admiring his work ethic because he was always in the gym, always in the weight room. Happy he had a great game today."
Olander wasn't the only one in Oriakhi's ear.
"Tyler kept saying that, and Jeff Adrien (a former UConn star forward) shot me a text and told me, 'You can be tired on Tuesday' and I agree with him 100 percent," Oriakhi said. "I just told myself, 'Just give everything you have, Alex, and the season's over and you can rest for a little bit. But for now, just give it a hard 40 minutes.' And I feel I did that.'
With those words in his head, Oriakhi set about setting the tone in the second half—he had a pair of blocks in the first 3 1/2 minutes, as the Huskies turned a 22-19 deficit into a 27-25 lead.
"We keep forgetting, I get on him all the time, Alex is a sophomore," Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun said. "He's just grown into his game."
He's grown into his own game, and he dominated this one. He wound up playing 18 minutes in the second half without picking up even one more foul. He grabbed seven rebounds in those 18 minutes, scored seven points and blocked four shots.
And then, there was Oriakhi's biggest impact—forcing the Bulldogs' bigs into tough shots. Matt Howard finished 1-for-13 from the floor, and Andrew Smith was 2-for-9. Add in reserve Khyle Marshall's 0-for-2 showing and the Butler post men finished combined 3-for-24 from the field.
Oriakhi? He went 5-for-6, including that one caught-up-in-the-momentum jumper that worked out pretty well for him.

Patrons at Chippewa-area bars must now be 21 every night of the week.
A provision that allowed customers between the ages of 18 and 20 to visit clubs and bars in the Chippewa Entertainment District on Thursday nights has ended, and the Common Council has decided not to renew the provision, which took effect April 3.
"There was no great groundswell of support to keep it open that our office received," said Ellicott Council Member Darius G. Pridgen, who represents the entertainment district.
Before the Council passed legislation in March, underage patrons were allowed in bars in the district every night of the week. Upset business owners came to Pridgen, citing public safety issues caused by underage revelers who were illegally served alcohol in some bars.
The district is bounded by Tupper Street, Main Street, Elmwood Avenue and Seneca Street.
Other clubs in the city aren't affected by the legislation.

Type: Bug
Status: Closed (View Workflow)
Priority: Critical
Resolution: Done
Affects Version/s: 3.0.0.GA
Component/s: server
Unable to create a runtime for latest AS 5.1.0.CR1 that can be built from:
Rob, let me know when this is fixed and what update site I should use to get this update.
Gliffy Diagrams
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Links Hierarchy
This probably means a new Runtime type needs to be added for AS 5.1
What (if any) are the structural changes between 5.0 and 5.1? Anything major? Any jar renames? Anything absolutely requiring a new runtime type?
Better yet, what exactly is preventing you from making a runtime for the latest 5.1? What's it say?
In my workspace it says " This server type expects a version of 5.0 but the server directory is of version 5.1.0.CR1." as a warning but completing the wizard still works.
Any more details?
I checked out the source, built the AS, and it seems to work with the 5.0 server type. Wizard can finish, server can start. If there are no severe structural changes, then for now I'll say a new servertype is not necessary.
if not for structural changes I would have thought the new JMX api's would require a new server version ?
Hmmm, I still can't. I keep getting this message when trying to create the runtime:
"The home directory does not exist, is missing key files, or is of the incorrect version."
I'm running Tools 3.0.GA. Rob, did you verify this with GA or some other branch?
Sorry Galder. I didn't read the issue thoroughly. It should be committed to both 3.0.1 and 3.1.0 streams already. And the messages have already been clarified.
@Max: While you're right that new API's are a difference, the problem is that they've backported the fixes to 5.0.x stream, which means that if they do come out with a 5.0.2 or 5.0.3 stream, the new API's will still be there.
In all honesty, If I were ever to rewrite this stuff entirely, I could probably have only 1 server type and make everything absolutely dynamic, reading the server's version from the installation folder and then calculate everything from classpath container information to startup information to deployment stuff. The need for a new "Server Type" really is not great at all. The only primary difference here is whether the server starts with "deploy to the server area" or "deploy to metadata". That's basically all that changes. And the user can adjust that at his will in the server editor.
Rob, so, that means you reproduced the problem? Did you get it working in any of the branches?
This was verified in 3.0.GA and was fixed in both 3.0.1 maintenance and 3.1 trunk a while ago. No commits were made on this JIRA as they were made in a previous commit. (commits 14204 and 14251)
Rob, as a comment to "make everything absolutely dynamic, reading the servers version from the installation folder" would not be the solution - having a static version is relevant in context of runtime components i believe.
Removing some of the static types does make sense though since they should just be a configuration option IMO (i.e. "deploy only server")
Verified on 2.0.0.GA-R200905020417-H7.
Steps to verify:
EXECUTE: Preferences - > Server -> Runtime environments
EXECUTE: Press Add buttom and select JBoss AS 5.0
EXECUTE: Add Jboss AS 5.1.0.CR1.
ASSERT: Warning message: This server type expects a version of 5.0 but the server directory is of version 5.1.0.CR1.
Finish button should be enabled.

Ok, this JUST happened, and I'm logging it away for the memory book (or blog in this case!).
It was relatively loud, but controlled play session between all of the girls in the living room. That is, until Tegan broke into a painful scream and began crying loudly. Myka had bitten her on the shoulder blade.
I sent Myka to her room until I could calm Tegan down and go talk to her...to which she repeated over and over, "it's not fair!"
Finally, when all was calm (Tegan is a dramatic, looooong crier), I went to talk to Myka.
Me: "Myka, why did you bite Tegan?"
Myka: "I thought we were playing biting monster, mom"
Me: "Ok, but when you play games like that, you need to only pretend bite. You can't really bite your sister because it hurts really bad."
Myka: "Oh. Is it only some really mean fish that really bite?"
Me: "Yes. but you are not a mean fish, you are a nice sister, right?"
Myka: "Yeah, but it's not fair mom!"
Me: "What's not fair?"
Myka: "That Tegan got so sad when I was playing biting monster!"
As a mom, I don't like when my girls fight at all. But I have to say, I enjoy having conversations with them and hearing what they come up with...they have really creative thought processes!
Apologies have been made, tears have been dried, and now they are putting makeup on each other...and mommy is about to take the evening off to go to dinner and a movie with a friend for my birthday :)

Shockproof, waterproof…. consumer-proof?
Check out Panasonic's latest round of goodies. These cameras are built to be used under less than perfect conditions, and still give you great footage.
Check out Panasonic's latest round of goodies. These cameras are built to be used under less than perfect conditions, and still give you great footage.
Most people, at some stage, have managed to drop, scratch, bump or splash a piece of electronics equipment. Some of us are clumsier than others; some of us simply have more active hobbies.
Suitable for either category is the Pentax Optio WG1GPS. A potential companion for treks in the wild (or even just the local park), the Pentax Optio WG1GPS can take most of the abuse you are likely to throw at it.
The camera is waterproof up to 10m, drop-proof from 1.5m and can withstand up to 100kg of weight on it.
It will even keep out dirt, dust and mud, thanks to airtight seals, and can take temperatures as low as minus 10 degrees. So given recent Irish winters, it'll just about survive the cold days.
The 14 megapixel camera has all the essentials, including a Pentax 5x zoom lens that starts at a wide angle 28mm.
Extreme close-ups are possible with its macro function that allows you to focus from 1cm away; a stand to eliminate the risk of camera shake and five LED macrolights.
And if that isn't enough, you can also shoot full HD movies.
Canon's smallest camcorder, the Legria FS37, is designed to be ultraportable without sacrificing features.
There are several things that will remain certainties for me: I will always lose the USB camera from my at least once; despite owning about 16GB of memory cards, I will always run out of space too soon ; and photographs from holidays will, if not uploaded almost immediately, get forgetten about until I find the memory card months later.
Showing your digital camera's photos on the tiny built-in LCD screen is so 2008. Nikon's latest camera, the Coolpix S1000pj, has an integrated projector that will display your photos from five inches up to 40 inches, depending on lighting conditions. The camera comes with an remote control for both the projector and the camera functions, and a small stand is also thrown.
Printers are not usually something to get excited about, but with digital cameras now an essential piece of kit for most people, the time may be right to consider investing. After all, there's little point in taking the photos if they languish on your hard drive. (more…)

Complete coverage of the Affordable Care Act ruling
The U.S. Supreme Court will begin three days of hearings Monday on the complex economic and legal issues surrounding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which revamps the $2.6 trillion health care industry.
Here is a look at the four issues the justices will review:
Monday – The justices will hear arguments about whether it is too soon to consider legal challenges to the mandate to purchase insurance. The question revolves around whether the mandate's financial penalty is considered a tax. Federal law bars challenges to taxes until they are paid. Because the financial penalties won't be assessed until 2014, an appeals court has ruled that the challenge is premature.
This issue has drawn the least public attention, but it could be crucial to the outcome of the cases, says Lyle Denniston, in Bloomberg Law's SCOTUS blog.
"If lawsuits turn out to have been barred, the mandate may not be challenged probably until 2015 at the earliest," he writes.
Both the Obama administration and the law's opponents want the court to decide the cases now. But one federal appeals court has ruled the cases are premature, and the justices have appointed an attorney to argue that point.
Tuesday – The hearing will focus on the most controversial element of the Affordable Care Act: the mandate for most individuals to buy health insurance. The 26 states challenging it (including Michigan) and the National Federation of Independent Business argue the rule is an unconstitutional intrusion on individual liberty. The government contends it is allowed under Congress' authority to regulate activities that affect interstate commerce and to make laws needed to execute other powers.
Wednesday – The hearings address two issues:
• The justices will hear arguments on whether the rest of the Affordable Care Act must be overturned if the health insurance mandate is ruled unconstitutional. The opponents say the act could not take effect because the mandate is intertwined with the law's other components. The government argues only two provisions would fall if the mandate is tossed out: the requirement that insurers cover people with preexisting conditions and that they not charge them higher premiums.
• The court also will consider whether the expansion of Medicaid is constitutional and whether the federal government can require states to comply by threatening to cut off Medicaid funding. The opponents argue the requirement exceeds federal authority. The government says participation in Medicaid is voluntary and that Congress has the constitutional power to require compliance as a condition of receiving funding.

Wwe Draft Lottery

Posted 07 June 2005 - 01:55 AM
First pick of the WWE draft lottery is John Cena to Raw!
Posted 07 June 2005 - 08:07 AM
dude....tonights raw was so pimp....at least the first 5 minutes and the last 10 minutes were.....the rest were forgetable.....but for Cena's pick and ECW returning it made it totally worth it.
Posted 08 June 2005 - 01:53 AM
Yeah, I can't wait for the One Night Stand PPV this Sunday.
Posted 08 June 2005 - 06:17 PM
Well I bet it will be ok I bet it is going to fall short in matches. I just hope Tazz wrestles or maybe Sabu that would be nice or a main event Haymen vs Bishoff
Posted 09 June 2005 - 05:07 AM
sadly dont count on any of that happening. WWE is not stupid enough to put on a Heyman vs. Bischoff match. Tazz has said he doesnt want to wrestle and Sabu will probably just do a run in at some point.
Posted 09 June 2005 - 07:07 PM
I bet Christian is going to Smackdown tonight. A great site for input is www.ringsidemayhem.com tons of rumors and inside info on the biz
Posted 09 June 2005 - 11:06 PM
actually Chris Benoit is going to smackdown tonight.......not sure why though.....and ill bet Christian doesnt even get drafted.....but thats just me.
Posted 15 June 2005 - 05:48 PM
Damn Smackdown is getting killed in the draft. First Cena then Angle. Cena went for a guy who is going to quit more less in the next few years and he is your Champion. Angle went and he was your best pure wrestler. I noticed one thing though Vince should have changed Cena's belt still says Smackdown on it. I bet the next person gone is Shelton or maybe Kane
Posted 15 June 2005 - 06:07 PM
My guess is.. anyone leaving RAW.. will be another ECW alumni like Benoit was. Just a hunch.
Posted 15 June 2005 - 07:07 PM
hmm. ECW people...Jericho is the only one on Raw that comes to mind for me
Posted 15 June 2005 - 09:24 PM
not sure if you want a spoiler on this but.............
Randy Orton is the next draft pick to smackdown
Randy Orton is the next draft pick to smackdown
Posted 15 June 2005 - 09:37 PM
draft LeBron
Posted 16 June 2005 - 07:20 PM
Well finally smackdown got a good pick, I hope Christian wins the title soon he's got alot of talent and mic skills

GEN News Highlights : Jun 24, 2010
Pfizer announced the immediate suspension of clinical trials evaluating its Phase III-stage chronic pain drug tanezumab in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). The clinical hold requested by FDA follows what Pfizer describes as a small number of reports that osteoarthritis patients receiving the mAb candidate experienced worsening of their disease and needed joint replacements. The firm says this adverse effect has not been recorded in nonosteoarthritis patients taking tanezumab.
As a result of the clinical hold all patients in the ongoing Phase III osteoarthritis program for tanezumab will have their treatment with the active drug stopped, and no new patients will be enrolled. The antibody is also undergoing Phase II trials for other chronic pain conditions, and any osteoarthritis patients enrolled in these studies will also have treatment with tanezumab halted, Pfizer notes. FDA has requested that the firm present an assessment of the potential implications of the adverse osteoarthritis-related events for other tanezumab clinical trials within the week.
Tanezumab is a mAb targeting nerve growth factor. The Phase III osteoarthritis program was started in November, 2008, and was expected to enroll some 5,000 patients.

World Cancer Day prompts national brand to raise money
ABILENE, Texas - February 4th is World Cancer Day.
According to the World Cancer Report, about half of all types of cancer are actually preventable through lifestyle changes.
In lieu of World Cancer Day, Chevrolet teamed with the American Cancer Society to raise money and bring awareness to cancer.
For every person that changed their Facebook and Twitter profile picture to purple, Chevy donated one dollar to The Society.
The money will go to The Society's "Road to Recovery" program that will give rides to those needing them to receive timely treatment.
Linda Neill, manager of education services at Hendrick Medical Center's Cancer Center, said the sooner you teach your kids about cancer, the better their chances.
But according to the World Health Organization, cancer is still on the rise. They estimate 22 million new cancer cases within the next 20 years.
Neill says the community might be trying to fight that statistic.
"We have people from the community come into our office all the time and wanting information about what they can do prevent cancer and live a healthier life and so we provide educational materials for them," Neill said.

20th Hempfest draws crowd to Seattle park
By The Associated Press & Jake Ellison • Aug 19, 2011
The 20th Seattle Hempfest opened at noon Friday in a park on the Seattle waterfront.
(Photo gallery from Friday afternoon inside.)
(See the photos on Flickr, if your mobile device doesn't support Flash.)
Myrtle Edwards Park buzzed with a crowd drawn to a collection of speakers, vendors and bands at the "cannabis policy reform event." It's a political rally, concert and arts and crafts fair all rolled up into one.
Supporters hope it will grow the budding movement to decriminalize marijuana and endorse the benefits of the drug and hemp products.
Hempfest runs through Sunday.

In the wake of a recent string of gun violence, many locals turned out to learn more about the state's personal protection laws during an informational meeting held Thursday evening at Tripoli Triggers on Washington Boulevard in the city. State Rep. Rick Mirabito, D-Williamsport, and Assistant District Attorney Aaron Biichle were on hand to explain the laws and answer questions.
Many, like area resident Don Wilton, felt that they were protected within their own homes, but worried that their understanding of Castle Doctrine was unclear.
"I don't think people are generally afraid of something happening to them inside their own homes. I think they're afraid of what [law enforcement] is going to believe," Wilton said.

RASHELLE CAREY/Sun-Gazette
Above, audience members at Thursday night's seminar on self-defense laws look over a printed handout.
Mirabito conceded that the laws can be unclear for the layperson to read, and said that education was the first step to creating a safer populace.
"I believe that one of the easiest ways to prevent tragedies in communities is by educating citizens," Mirabito said.
Biichle agreed that the laws can be confusing, and many variables can effect whether or not a person defending his or her property was legally in the right.
"If you read through the Castle Doctrine statute, it sounds pretty straightforward. The concept is that an individual may use force, including deadly force, to protect his home or property without a duty to retreat. However, if you look into it more, you start to see that there is a lot of words that need to be defined farther," Biichle said.
The term "force," for instance, means the spectrum from non-deadly force to deadly, he explained.
Biichle used the example of a person being slapped by another. If the person being hit pulls out a machete and kills the attacker, that is not protected under the law.
"The force used in retaliation must be equal to the threat," Biichle said.
Deadly force is acceptable only if the victim believes he or she is at risk of severe injury or death, kidnapping, or sexual assault, he explained.
The law takes many things under consideration, such as how far apart the victim and attacker were, what kind of weapon the attacker has and whether or not the victim could have run away.
In order to be protected by the law, no victim should use deadly force unless it immediately is necessary.
"The Castle Doctrine does not give you unfettered permission to kill someone just because they're in your house. However, you aren't expected to retreat from your home," Biichle said.
Biichle used the example of a person walking downstairs in the morning to discover a drunk passed out in their living room. He said the homeowner was not justified in shooting and killing the unconscious person, because the homeowner wasn't in immediate threat.
The laws do not provide people protection if they currently are engaged in a criminal activity, or if illegal activity is taking place inside your residence.
"If you're already working outside the law, the law is not going to protect you," Biichle said.
When in doubt, be certain before pulling out a weapon, Mirabito said.
Many in the audience echoed the importance of personal responsibility for those who carry concealed weapons to give their attacker a chance to flee, rather than just begin shooting.
Biichle also reminded those in attendance that they are not legally permitted to protect their property with deadly force.
"Even that dirtbag stealing from you - his life has value in the eyes of the law," Biichle said.
"We all need to use good common sense before turning to deadly force," he added.

Bradley Cooper, Brian Klugman, and Lee Sternthal were on Chestnut Street Monday night, navigating the red carpet that had been rolled out in front of the Prince Music Theater. The fans were squealing - well, they were squealing for Cooper - but inside their heads, these three Philly boys were squealing a little, too. The Words, an elaborate, old-style romantic melodrama that Cooper stars in (and executive-produced), and that Klugman and Sternthal wrote and directed, was having its premiere.
This was the fantasy they shared back when they were gawky teens, planted late at night in front of the TV at Cooper's or "Kluggy's" or Sternthal's house, watching James Dean and Elizabeth Taylor in Giant, Julie Christie in Dr. Zhivago, Marlon Brando in Last Tango in Paris.

Section 8 Program
Housing Choice Vouchers allow very low-income families to choose and lease safe, decent, and affordable privately-owned rental housing.
Marion County Housing Authority, under contract with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administers this rental assistance program for the areas of Marion County which are outside the Urban Growth Boundary of the City of Salem. Click here for map of covered cities.
A family wanting help with rental assistance must qualify within the income limits provided by HUD. Click here for the income limits. Tenants are selected from the wait list in chronological order by date and time of receipt of pre-application.
"The Waiting List for Wood Park Terrace and Evergreen Court Apartments is closed as of June 29, 2011, until further notice."
If the family qualifies, they select a rental unit from the open market. It is the responsibility of a family to find a unit that meets their needs. Units can be found in local newspapers, community boards, or even just by driving around. Our front desk keeps an updated list of available units that are willing to accept Section 8 Vouchers. We encourage our tenants to choose carefully, as they will be signing a one-year lease at the unit they have chosen.
The amount of assistance given to a family is dependent upon a number of factors: the family's income, the amount of rent requested by the landlord, tenant-paid utility costs, etc. Generally, a family will pay approximately 30% of their monthly income toward the rent.
Prior to providing assistance on behalf of any family, all proposed housing units must pass a Housing Quality Standards inspection to insure that the unit is decent, safe and sanitary. Also, an evaluation must be performed to insure that the rent being proposed by the landlord is "reasonable and comparable" to other similar-type units in the area.
Violence Against Women Act
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was signed into law in January 2006. VAWA applies to residents of public housing and Section 8 multifamily housing programs. Among other things, it prohibits the removal of subsidy assistance and eviction of Section 8 residents if the grounds for taking the action is an instance of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking. Owners and tenants are encouraged to read more about VAWA 2005 at: United States Department of Justice.

A lot of bloggers participate in what is called "What I Ate Wednesday" or "WIAW". As I don't plan on doing this weekly, I thought I'd share what I typically eat in a day…because I think a lot of you will be surprised, and maybe curious! I always find myself interested in what others are eating.
For a girl of my stature, I eat a lot. Dan and I've discussed this, and we're pretty certain I eat more than him on most days. However, he's the type that can skip breakfast, and sometimes lunch, and eat a giant plate of food at dinner. I would be a miserable mess if I skipped snack time, let alone an entire meal.
Everyone has different personal goals, but for me individually, I do not count calories. With my current eating patterns {which I've held for several years now}, my weight has not fluctuated more than 2 to 3 pounds in either direction {pregnancy excluded}. While I did count calories at one point, I felt it consumed my daily life, became stressful, and ultimately left me feeling like I was depriving myself. I figured if I was eating when hungry, stopping when full, and stuck to real food, everything would fall into place. Today I feel alive and energized, and that is sans caffeine, my friends!
For the record, I do believe that calorie counting is beneficial for individuals trying to achieve a specific physique, lose a healthy amount of weight, or gain a healthy amount of weight. Everyone's circumstances are different, and I'm just sharing my own. 🙂
On a daily basis, I eat 30 minutes within waking up and usually every 3 hours until bedtime. I strive to keep my meals and snacks balanced with protein, healthy fats, and nutrient dense carbs. My body craves this constant fuel. I get irritable quickly if I let myself get too hungry {husband nods head repeatedly with eyes wide}, so I always have healthy snacks nearby.
Due to the nature of this post, I used my iphone for all the photographs. No fancy food styling this time around!
Okay, enough of the blabber. Here is a day in my {food} life…
7:30AM | Breakfast
Left: Peanut Butter Power Bowl (Greek yogurt, peanut butter, chia seeds, diced apple, sliced almonds, stevia, and a bit of honey)
Right: Decaf coffee with homemade low sugar whipped cream
I make breakfast immediately after getting out of bed. Usually Sawyer will still be asleep, but if he's the one to wake me up, he sits in the bouncer while I prepare my breakfast. That's just our routine, and this Momma needs her fuel ASAP. It's also been routine to eat my breakfast while he nurses, which is exactly what I did on this particular morning. It's just our thing.
This Peanut Butter Power Bowl is something I make at least 2-3 times a week. One of my absolute favorite breakfasts and so very easy. I don't normally drink coffee, but I had made some homemade whipped cream the night before and wanted a warm treat. I only made it halfway through the mug before it got cold and I lost interest. I tried.
10:00AM | Mid Morning Snack
2 prunes + handful of lightly salted & roasted almonds
I'm usually snacky between 9:30 and 10. I opt for something quick I can toss in my mouth since there's usually a baby perched on my hip. These prunes and almonds were the perfect mix of sweet and salty to tie me over until lunch time {and easy to eat with one hand}.
11:30AM | Lunch
Spinach Salad (spinach, sliced chicken breast, mozzarella, avocado, red pepper, scallion, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, toasted raw pepitas, homemade sourdough croutons, extra virgin olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, salad seasoning, and salt & pepper)
I'm a fan of biiiiig spinach salads for lunch. You may remember my Everyday Spinach Salad recipe from several weeks ago. Depending on what's on hand, the toppings change, but that keeps them interesting. Lately I've been prepping organic chicken breast on Sunday's so I have a lean protein to top my beautiful bowl of veggies.
3:00PM | Mid Afternoon Snack
Homemade Smoked Paprika Hummus with carrot and celery sticks
Hummus + veggies are the perfect afternoon snack. Just the right amount of fat, protein, and nutrient rich carbs to last me til dinner time.
7:00PM | Dinner
Egg Sandwich: English muffin with two over hard eggs cooked in coconut oil, homemade kale basil pesto, parmesan cheese, tomato slices, and salt & pepper + Sautéed asparagus cooked in coconut oil with salt & pepper + Leftover garlic mashed red skins from the previous nights dinner.
Not Pictured: 1/2 glass of Cabernet Sauvignon
This may look like a random dinner, but it's actually pretty common for us. Dan and I only plan out about 3 dinners per week due to our schedules {this was not one of them}, so the rest of the nights we use up what we have on hand. We've gotten pretty creative! This week was especially different as we have a vacation coming up, and therefore kept our grocery shopping to a minimum.
The kale basil pesto I made several weeks ago, freezing individual portions in an ice cube tray for a convenient, delicious, ready to go spread. We've been loving egg sammy's with pesto.
9:00PM | Dessert
2 homemade Dark Chocolate Almond Truffles (a healthier version I made Sunday for the blog – recipe coming soon!)
Not pictured or mentioned is the 80+ ounces of water I drank throughout the day. I have a BPA free bottle that travels with me everywhere. It's so important to stay hydrated, especially while nursing.
I hope that seeing a typical day has inspired healthier ideas and a better understanding of what eating real food may look like. I'm not perfect, and honestly don't strive to be, but I make sure the majority is lean protein, healthy fat, and wholesome fruits & veggies.
Let me know if you'd be interested in seeing more "What I Ate Wednesday" posts. I'd love your feedback!

RADNOR — School officials said no weapon was found after a student at Wayne Elementary School allegedly threatened to bring a gun to school. The situation, they said, was handled without incident, but they declined to elaborate.
Principal Maureen Reusche said that, during the lunch period Tuesday, several students told a supervisor that a male student had made the threat. Reusche said an investigation produced no weapon.
"There was a rumor that a child said he was going to bring a gun to school," she said. "It's a difficult thing these days to deal with. . . . We conducted an internal investigation to determine whether it was actually said, and then from there we followed our standard procedure and contacted the police."

Ikeda Center Celebrates 20th Anniversary
On September 28, 2013, the Ikeda Center for Peace, Learning, and Dialogue, located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, celebrated its 20th anniversary. To commemorate this event, the center hosted a gathering of scholars and friends who have contributed to realizing the vision of the Center over the past two decades. In September 1993, Daisaku Ikeda delivered a lecture titled "Mahayana Buddhism and Twenty-first Century Civilization" at Harvard University, in which he highlighted the contributions Mahayana Buddhism can make to the peaceful evolution of humanity. Shortly after giving the lecture, he established the Ikeda Center (originally called the Boston Research Center for the 21st Century) as a tangible commitment to the spirit or vision behind his talk--the vision to engage diverse voices in contributing value to humanity.
The event began with welcoming remarks by current Executive Director and President, Richard Yoshimachi. This was followed by the first executive director and currently a senior research fellow, Virginia Benson, who shared memories of the Ikeda Center's founding and highlighted its achievements over the past twenty years that illustrated the Center's core values and evolving areas of focus. She recalled how, when Mr. Ikeda first met with the Center's small staff, he encouraged them saying, "from a single drop comes the mighty Mississippi River." Addressing the participants, Ms. Benson said: "As I look out at your faces today and reflect on what each of you has done with us to create this oasis of a special kind of dialogue, I feel like I am seeing the mighty Mississippi River."
Nur Yalman, professor of Social Anthropology and Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard University, has been a friend of the Center since its inception. He observed that in a time of significant strife around the world, particularly in such places as Syria and Sri Lanka, the commitment to dialogue across cultures, religions, and worldviews, as exemplified in the work of the Ikeda Center, is absolutely crucial. Dialogue, Dr. Yalman noted, lays the foundation for harmonious relationships among individuals that will enable the twenty-first century to truly become the "century of peace" envisioned not only by Mr. Ikeda, but by all people of goodwill throughout the world.
Dr. Qu Delin, Director of the Center for Japanese Studies at Tsinghua University in China, shared how Mr. Ikeda's trailblazing contributions toward the normalization of Sino-Japanese relations has earned him great respect in China. Of special importance, he noted, was when Mr. Ikeda met with Premier Zhou Enlai in 1974. Dr. Qu also stressed that the respect Mr. Ikeda has gained from the Chinese people is a direct reciprocation of the respect he has always shown them. Dr. Qu further reported that there are now more than 30 centers and institutes studying Mr. Ikeda's humanistic philosophy and ideals throughout China.
Also participating in this event was Hiromasa Ikeda, the eldest son of Daisaku Ikeda and an SGI vice president. Vice President Ikeda remarked that among the secular institutions Daisaku Ikeda has founded, the Ikeda Center is the only institute to actually bear the Ikeda family name. Mr. Ikeda explained that his father agreed to the Center's request to change its name in 2009 because his father understood that the Center would continue to carry out his lifelong pursuit of global peace through the practice of dialogue. In this manner, Mr. Ikeda said, the Ikeda name might become associated less with an individual than with a commitment to dialogue as the surest path to peace.
To conclude the celebratory gathering, a commemorative message from the center's founder, Daisaku Ikeda, was read. In the message Mr. Ikeda expressed his hope for the Center, stating: "My heart is filled with joy when I envision the future, ten years, twenty years from now, as each of you dynamically and energetically engages in dialogue spanning different cultures, religions and disciplines. And I hope that this Center may be the stage for such activities. It is my earnest conviction that the efforts we make to promote this kind of dialogue will forge a new paradigm of harmonious coexistence, guiding humankind as a beacon of hope, illuminating an enduring renaissance of life."
After the program, the participants proceeded to the Harvard Faculty Club for a reception. Winston Langley, Provost at University of Massachusetts Boston, offered a toast in which he meditated on the deep human value of acting as a heart, a bridge and a beacon at this point in human history.

Gold expensive over the long term: In real terms (dollars adjusted for inflation), the average price of gold over the very long run (150 years) is around $520 an ounce against $1,391 an ounce currently, Credit Suisse says. Clearly, gold continues to be expensive over the long term average despite the sharp correction this year. Gold expensive against other commodities: Gold remains expensive when valued against hard assets, such as base metals and U.S. real estate, as well as against other investment classes such as US equities, Credit Suisse says. Global stock markets are at record highs. Besides, equities offer some dividend yield as well, which means the opportunity cost of holding gold has become too much to bear for many investors, Credit Suisse argues. Inflation no more a risk: Investors buy gold to hedge against inflation. However, policymakers in the developed world have failed to generate even moderate 2-2.5 per cent inflation, Credit Suisse says. So, gold as an inflation hedge is losing its charm as the prospects of a sharp move in prices remains remote. (Also read: Why 2013 may not be the year of gold) No imminent collapse of financial markets: The European Central Bank's commitment to preserve the euro and the determination of other leading central banks to underwrite risk and the recapitalization of financial institutions means reduced risk and thus reduced demand for insurance in the form of gold, Credit Suisse says. No threat to dollar: There have been numerous stories about the potential outbreak of "currency wars" amongst the major industrialized economies leading to forex instability. However, if everyone eases together, it will in theory not impact cross rates, Credit Suisse argues. QE coming to an end: The U.S. Federal Reserve has been printing money to shore up the U.S. economy. This liquidity has been driving up asset prices including gold. Credit Suisse says at least 435 tonnes of gold could be liquidated once the Fed withdraws quantitative easing, thereby putting further pressure on gold prices. Central banks are not buying gold despite falling prices and any intervention by them to support prices looks unlikely, Credit Suisse says. No support to gold prices from high production costs: While cost inflation across the gold mining sector has been high, the marginal cost (the change in total cost that comes from producing one additional item) is unlikely to provide support to gold price in the short to medium term, Credit Suisse says. Gold in bear territory: Going by the past trends, a 60 per cent retracement of the 2005 to September 2011 rally over the two and a half years would take gold back to around $1,000 an ounce (nominal) by the end of March 2014, Credit Suisse says.
 (1 dollar = Rs. 56; 1 ounce = 31.1 gram)
