text: Artscape KPLU's weekly feature about art in the Pacific Northwest. Available online every Sunday and played on-air on Monday mornings and afternoons. zoe | juniper is wild, theatrical dance By Florangela Davila • Nov 27, 2011 Photo by Christopher Duggan Here's what a performance by zoe|juniper won't look like: "Predictable and controlled," says company dancer Christiana Axelsen. "Having the music play. Having everyone dance. Having the lights go on and then having the lights go out," says sound designer Matt Starritt. "I wouldn't expect it to be simple. I wouldn't expect to see anything I've seen before," says dancer and company manager Raja Kelly. Critics have described the Seattle-based company as "visually arresting" and "a feast for the senses." Old-time radio drama fires up the imagination By Florangela Davila • Nov 20, 2011 Gerwin Sturm/Flickr "You're in a dark room you've never been in before. And it's very late at night." Larry Albert is casting a spell. Cue up the sound of a creaking building and suddenly, you're transported to a slightly terrifying place. Albert is one of the behind-the-scenes talents of Jim French's "Imagination Theater," which produces old-time radio dramas. Luminous art with some baggage By Jennifer Wing • Nov 13, 2011 Seattle Art Museum Seattle is home to one of the most extensive collections of Asian art in North America. It lives at the Seattle Asian Art Museum in Volunteer Park. But over the next several weeks the collection's best pieces are on display at the Seattle Art Museum in downtown. The exhibit is called Luminous: The Art of Asia. It features ancient Buddhas, delicate pottery, and a new modern work which ties everything together and transports you to a different place. At Seattle Opera, grooming the next generation of stars By Florangela Davila • Nov 6, 2011 Photo by Alan Abastro It used to be that aspiring opera singers would live with their voice teachers and practice every day. That was in the 1800s. Nowadays, the typical track is college followed by graduate school and then professional training at a major opera company. That's where Seattle Opera and its Young Artists Program come in. Texas Tenors have their own distinct sound By Kirsten Kendrick & Nick Morrison • Oct 30, 2011 William Gottlieb / Library of Congress via Flickr KPLU's Nick Morrison is glad the word "robust" is coming back into common parlance. He says that's the perfect word to describe the Texas Tenor saxophone sound. He's compiled a list of five titans of Texas Tenor. Carolee Schneemann still pushing the edges of decorum By Jennifer Wing • Oct 23, 2011 Carolee Schneemann There are some works of art that can make people really uncomfortable. Artist Carolee Schneemann is a master at pushing the edges of decorum. She's also one of the first people in the early 1960's to ever be called a performance artist. New book looks at city's musical history 'Before Seattle Rocked' By Florangela Davila • Oct 16, 2011 photo by Ed Lee Long before "grunge," Seattle was home to big band musicians, immigrant choral groups and a seafood restaurant owner who sang folk songs about clams. Those are only some of the stories in Kurt Armbruster's new book, "Before Seattle Rocked: A City and Its Music" (University of Washington Press). At the UW, Chamber Dance Co. is resurrecting history By Florangela Davila • Oct 9, 2011 Photo by Steve Korn The year 1994 might not seem that long ago to you. But in the world of modern dance, it's ancient history. Or at least history, the year in which Bebe Miller choreographed her funky, athletic "Cantos Gordos." Go ahead and scream: New horror film exhibit at Seattle's EMP By Florangela Davila • Oct 2, 2011 From the Paul G. Allen Family Collection. Photo by Brady Harvey What is it about horror films that makes our skin crawl? EMP Museum's new "Can't Look Away: The Lure of Horror Film" exhibit dissects the horror flick, ripping apart the hair-raising soundtrack and giving us an up-close view of various movie props: from the gory to the just plain eerie. Seattle author looks "Inside the Land of Ballet" By Florangela Davila • Sep 25, 2011 Photo by Angela Sterling Stephen Manes has been a TV writer, a children's author and a personal technology columnist for national publications. He's also co-authored a book about Bill Gates. But he was a total outsider when it came to ballet. He'd been a patron of Seattle's Pacific Northwest Ballet. But it wasn't until a behind-the-scenes tour of the company for donors got him thinking: How much do pointe shoes cost? What's it take to mount a season? What's it like to be an artistic director, a dancer, a dance student, a stager, a costumer or a member of the orchestra? Freehold teaches the art of theater to all who seek it By Florangela Davila • Sep 18, 2011 Scott Maddock Twenty years ago, a group of like-minded theater folk felt there was something missing in Seattle. There wasn't a lab where actors could take classes and try out new things. "In New York, people work all the time," says Robin Lynn Smith. "In Los Angeles, you study when you're not working. Here we wanted to have an opportunity for people to have that option to keep challenging themselves to go further. And then for creating work, we needed a place for experimentation." Prof. Fred revels in the marvel of movies so bad, they're good By Jennifer Wing • Sep 11, 2011 Can something be so terrible it's actually good? Professor Fred Hopkins thinks so. By day, Hopkins is a lawyer who helps people get out of paying big fines for traffic infractions. But in his spare time he is the enthusiastic host of Movie Marvels, a show that runs once a week on Seattle's Community College TV channel. On Beacon Hill, a house is both home and public art gallery By Florangela Davila • Sep 5, 2011 Photo by Florangela Davila What if your neighbors turned their house into a public art gallery? That's what a few artists are doing in Seattle. There's a house in Ravenna, a house in the Central Area and a studio on Capitol Hill that are all transformed into temporary art venues for an art-craving public. Seattle's Pinata Man creates happiness one whack at a time By Florangela Davila • Aug 28, 2011 In Seattle's South Park neighborhood, Alex Lopez has carved out a reputation as the go-to-guy for making unique piñatas. Case in point: a 26-foot-long, 7-feet-tall, 6-feet-wide pinata in the shape of a bridge. It dumped 450 pounds of candy. Youth in Focus: A story that lens itself to art By Florangela Davila • Aug 21, 2011 Florangela Davila / KPLU A busy street with lots of cars, bikes and people rushing from one place to another. Except for that one person over there with a camera ... and that one over there. They're students with Seattle's Youth in Focus (YIF) program who are documenting the area around Second Avenue and Cherry in downtown Seattle. The banjo in Seattle Opera's "Porgy and Bess" By Florangela Davila • Aug 14, 2011 Courtesy of Seattle Opera You don't expect to find a banjo in the orchestra pit at Seattle Opera. But there it is, getting warmed up by John Patrick Lowrie, a half-hour before showtime for "Porgy and Bess." From the first day of rehearsal, Lowrie made an impression upon the orchestra. Tulalip cultural center helps maintain tribe's traditions By Charla Bear • Aug 7, 2011 Charla Bear / KPLU Native Americans have struggled to hang onto their cultures for decades. On August 20th, a local tribe will have a new resource to help. The Tulalips are opening a cultural center on their reservation. It not only shares history the way the tribe sees it, but bridges the past with modern-day life. Book explores the phenomenon that is 'West Side Story' By Florangela Davila • Jul 24, 2011 Photofest When "West Side Story" opened in 1957 on Broadway, the audience's reaction was silence. Followed by applause. "No Broadway musical ended with these deaths and this very sad young woman walking off the stage with her head bowed. That was just, 'Whoa!'" author Misha Berson explained. Exploring the limits of privacy at Henry's 'The Talent Show' By Jennifer Wing • Jul 17, 2011 Shizuka Yokomizo / Collection of Leslie Cohan, Minneapolis The desire to be on the public stage is on display right now at the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle. It's called "The Talent Show." The exhibit raises a lot of questions ranging from how much should we put on display to what happens to our images once they are out there. It's easy to forget how much effort went in to trying to be seen by the public eye. Recess Monkey is kindie-rock fun By Florangela Davila • Jul 10, 2011 Photo by Florangela Davila What inspires bands to make music? For Recess Monkey, it's the lives of kindergarteners and grade schoolers. All three musicians – Drew Holloway, Jack Forman and Daron Henry – in the band teach at Seattle elementary schools. And they're having anything but a sleepy summer: playing gigs and promoting their latest CD, "Flying" is on their agenda. The trees get 'yarn bombed' in Seattle's Occidental Park By Florangela Davila • Jul 3, 2011 Florangela Davila / KPLU Seattle's Occidental Park is a leafy oasis in the middle of the city. It's now also the site of a whimsical installation where all 27 trees and 16 lamp posts and 57 short poles are dressed up in yarn. Five reasons why Memphis should get props for the blues By Kirsten Kendrick & Nick Morrison • Jun 26, 2011 Bo Nash / Flickr Memphis, Tenn., is known as the birthplace of rock 'n roll. But KPLU's Nick Morrison says it should also be known for the blues. Nick gives five examples of how Memphis and its neighbor, West Memphis, Ark., rank right up there with the Mississippi Delta and Chicago when it comes to launching the careers of influential blues artists. Now on stage at ACT: Romance and clashing cultures By Florangela Davila • Jun 19, 2011 Photo by Chris Bennion Seattle playwright Yussef El Guindi usually delves into heavy stuff: racial profiling and terrorism. But his new play, "Pilgrims Musa and Sheri in the New World," which is having its world premiere at Seattle's ACT Theatre, is a romantic comedy. Musa is an Egyptian immigrant who picks up a woman named Sheri in his cab on a late night in New York City. The art of circus school By Florangela Davila • Jun 12, 2011 Photo by Florangela Davila There's a downside to hanging out at the School of Acrobatics and New Circus Arts (SANCA) and that is, you start to feel really boring. There's Nickolai Pirak, an expert juggler. And Erica Rubinstein, who basically juggles people. "If you can imagine a 12-foot-long bar that's kind of like a beam and a trampoline, but supported by people. Our flier stands in the middle of the bar," Rubinstein says. Play tackles fears of young Native Americans after woodcarver killed By Charla Bear • Jun 5, 2011 Charla Bear / KPLU It's been more than nine months since a Seattle police officer killed First Nations woodcarver John T. Williams, and tensions are still running high among Native Americans. They say the shooting brings up the long history of brutality Native people have faced. The anxiety has also affected children, who've had a tough time putting Williams' death in perspective. This coming weekend, a local theater group will debut a performance to help young Native Americans move forward, starting with a look at the past. The art of disaster By Jennifer Wing • May 29, 2011 Charles Krafft Listen Listening... / When you think of porcelain, your grandmother's fancy dishes might come to mind. The ones that are taken out of the cabinet only for Thanksgiving and other special holidays. Or maybe you own a beautiful china vase. There are a lot of delicate dishes and trinkets in the home of Seattle artist Charles Krafft. But his pieces go beyond pastels and pretty flowers. Krafft has made a career out of messing with our expectations of ceramic art. Pouring tea from one of his teapots or eating from one of Krafft's plates might make you lose your appetite. It's movie festival time and these folks are film crazy By Florangela Davila • May 22, 2011 Florangela Davila If you're crazy about films, then this is the time of year when you're over the moon. Over 25 days, the Seattle International Film Festival shows 450 movies at 20 venues in and around Seattle. Among the ordinary festival-goer is a special type of film fan: those who don't sleep, mow the lawn, or spend time with friends or family unless they're with them at the movies. These are the approximately 400 folks who have a full series pass, who may see around 100 films or so per festival. A few tips if you wish to be this die-hard: Whidbey Island retreat provides solitude for women writers By Katherine Banwell • May 15, 2011 Courtesy of Hedgebrook Listen Listening... / On Whidbey Island, among the evergreens, sits Hedgebrook, a writers retreat solely for women. Nestled on 48 acres, women writers, like feminist and journalist Gloria Steinem, have been seeking solitude at the property since 1988. It's a piece of land that many say is a source of creative power. Recently, young women playwrights have been honing their works with only the sounds of the surrounding forest to interrupt their writing. They've been invited to Whidbey Island to join in the Hedgebrook Women Playwrights Festival. For KPLU's weekly Artscape series, I travelled to Hedgebrook to talk to two of the writers about their work. The art of karaoke includes singing - or not! By Florangela Davila • May 8, 2011 Florangela Davila / KPLU Throughout Seattle, on any given night, you can find some place hosting karaoke, which means "empty orchestra" in Japanese. There's karaoke in friendly community halls in Greenwood; in swanky clubs on Capitol Hill; in private rooms underneath cutesy bubble tea houses in the I-D. The Agony & Ecstasy of Steve Jobs By Jennifer Wing • May 1, 2011 Ursa Waz Listen Listening... / Modern life can be difficult to live without help from our smart-phones and other gadgets. Apple is at the forefront of this technology and its users are often incredibly loyal. But a new show by monologist Mike Daisey at the Seattle Repertory Theater raises the point that all of this beautiful design and convenience comes at a cost to factory workers in China. The production is called "The Agony and Ecstasy of Steve Jobs." Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 next › last »

The Church's interventions in public policy are all based on the principles of "Catholic social teaching". This body of teaching has been developed over centuries, but has become particularly defined over the last century. It represents the Church's perspective on applying the Gospel to the practical affairs of the public square.
For more information about Catholic social teaching, click here.
The U.S. Bishops have identified seven major themes of Catholic social teaching:
Life and Dignity of the Human Person
Human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the fundamental human right, on which all other rights are based. In our society, human life is under direct attack (e.g., abortion, "assisted suicide", euthanasia, violence, human trafficking), and indirectly (e.g., cloning, embryonic stem cell research). All human lives must be protected by law and by individuals.
Call to Family, Community, and Participation
The human person is social by nature. All our public and economic policies have an effect on individual human persons, and their ability to live and grow in community. Marriage and the family are the foundation for society and the authentic definition of marriage must be supported and strengthened, not undermined or redefined.
Rights and Responsibilities
Human dignity can only be ensured if basic rights are protected and people exercise responsibility for one another. Fundamental rights like the right to life and religious freedom must always be recognized and defended.
Option for the Poor and Vulnerable
We have an obligation as a society to take special care of poor and vulnerable people. All our public policies must be evaluated by how they impact "the least among us".
The Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers
The human person should be the centerpiece of all economic policies -- people are more important than things or money. Labor and economic policies must focus on the development of all, and respecting the right to work, to own and use property, and to organize into unions and other associations.
The unity of the human family transcends any national, ideological, or ethnic boundaries. We must stand united with our brothers and sisters around the world, and constantly strive for peace and justice. We must particularly work to establish a just order in society, where war and any other violence are unthinkable.
Care for God's Creation
"The environment is God's gift to everyone, and in our use of it we have a responsibility towards the poor, towards future generations and towards humanity as a whole" (Pope Benedict, Caritas in Veritate 48)

—To investigate whether an association exists between the probability of a cesarean delivery and the level of malpractice claims risk faced by hospitals and physicians.
—Survey of computerized discharge data linked with physician and hospital malpractice claims records based on stratified, random sample of hospitals.
—Acute care hospitals in New York State in 1984.
—All deliveries (60490) at 31 hospitals.
—After controlling for the clinical risk of a cesarean delivery, patient socioeconomic status, and physician and hospital characteristics, cesarean delivery was positively associated with physician malpractice premiums (odds ratio [OR], 3.00; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.13 to 4.24 for the difference between upstate and New York City levels), with the number of physician claims opened per 100 physicians at the hospital level (OR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.30 for a 1-SD change), and with the number of hospital claims opened per 1000 discharges (OR, 1.26; 95% Cl, 1.10 to 1.43 for a 1-SD change). Measures of physician-perceived risk of suit also showed a significant association with cesarean delivery (OR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.53 to 2.52, upstate vs New York City). Within hospitals, there was no significant association (OR, 1.15; P=.126) between the odds of cesarean delivery and the claims history (none vs one or more) of an individual physician.
—Results support previous speculations of a positive association between malpractice claims risk and the rate of cesarean delivery.(JAMA. 1993;269:366-373)

With time it was realized that the Earth was just one of the
solar planets orbiting the sun, but skepticism that planets existed outside the
solar system remained strong. However, with the advent of new techniques
and more power telescopes researchers began to discover
extrasolar planets at a rapid
pace, starting in the 1988, with the discovery of planets orbiting the star
Gamma Cephei. Meanwhile a large new orbiting body was discovered
on the fringes of our own system, while Pluto was downgraded
to a mere "Plutoid".
Some of these planets were deemed somewhat
Earth-like in that they were smaller than gas giants, might have water, and
could be made to be habitable. Other extrasolar planets were similar in
size to Earth, but were way
to hot to inhabit with current technologies.
Now European astronomers have continued the run of discoveries of smaller
planets with the discovery of a trio of "super-Earths" rotating around
the star HD 40307, located 42 light-years from Earth towards the southern
Doradus and Pictor constellations. The new planets have masses of 4.2,
6.7, and 9.4 times the mass of Earth and orbits of 4.3, 9.6, and 20.4 days
The star they orbit is a normal star, approximately the same size as our
sun. According to Didier Queloz and Michel Mayor, expert planet hunters
who led the discovery team, the planets are too hot to support life as we know
However, despite this slight disappointment, the discovery raises the
intriguing possibility of a so-called "crowded universe" teeming with
undiscovered planets. HD 40307 was long thought to hold no planets -- it
is clear now that the discovery was only possible with the advances in
detection. There are likely many smaller planets that have yet to be
detected. In total 270 extrasolar planets have already been found.
Stéphane Udry, a colleague of Mayor, describes the advance stating, "With
the advent of much more precise instruments such as the HARPS spectrograph on
ESO's 3.6-m telescope at La Silla, we can now discover smaller planets, with
masses between 2 and 10 times the Earth's mass."
Mayor who works at the Geneva Observatory states, "Does every single star
harbour planets and, if yes, how many? We may not yet know the answer but
we are making huge progress towards it. Clearly these planets are only
the tip of the iceberg. The analysis of all the stars studied with HARPS
shows that about one third of all solar-like stars have either super-Earth or
Neptune-like planets with orbital periods shorter than 50 days."
The slowly unfolding picture of a universe full of planets brings two key
possibilities. First, the possibility of expansion
and colonization outside the solar system, and secondly, the possibility
of extraterrestrial life.
quote: Psalm 93:1, Psalm 96:10, and 1 Chronicles 16:30 include text stating that "the world is firmly established, it cannot be moved." In the same tradition, Psalm 104:5 says, "the LORD set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved." Further, Ecclesiastes 1:5 states that "And the sun rises and sets and returns to its place, etc."[87]
quote: What . . . in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary? I mean, if there were other living beings in our universe why haven't they evolved far enough to make contact with us?
quote: Or at least create structures in space that we could detect? The universe is billions of years old. If life existed outside of Earth, I would expect that there would be some very convincing evidence of that.
quote: I imagine a super intelligent species would do exactly what we do with vastly inferior beings. Watch them like ants to learn about them, but don't mess with them otherwise you screw your science experiment up.

Update, 12:23 p.m.:
Callahan's agent, Steve Bartlett, says his client's first desire is to remain a Ranger which is why they have lowered their demands (via USA Today)…
"We're going to put on one last push over the next 48 hours. We're still trying to find common ground."
Bartlett added that once he saw Girardi sign for six-years, he knew Callahan would have to agree to the same term.
…things can easily fall apart, so I hate to say this is a done deal, but it's looking more and more like Callahan will be spending the next six years in a Blueshirt.
Original Post:
Depending on where you stand on the issue, there was good news regarding the Ryan Callahan contract saga as according to Pierre LeBrun at ESPN.com the Rangers captain has not only dropped his contract demand from seven years to six, he has also lowered the amount to south of $6.5 million per year down from $6.75 million.
LeBrun does warn that the money remains too rich for the Blueshirts who are said to be willing to go as high as six years, $6 million per.
Katie Strang at ESPN.com tries to temper enthusiam even more by stating Callahan had lowered the term before heading to Sochi and that both sides sound no more optimistic now than heading into the Olympic break.
Meanwhile Bob McKenzie at TSN wondered if $6.25 million per could get a deal done.
…wow, this sounds like actual negotiations. I tell you what, if Callahan gets a penny over $6 million he'll have absolutely fleeced Sather and possibly at the same time hurt the Rangers ability to add high price talent in the future.
…Callahan has failed to score on golden opportunities in all three games coming out of the break, so can't imagine this isn't weighing on him. It also proves that he's more of a $5 million player not a $6M +.
After last night's game, Callahan says the idea of it possibly being his last as a Ranger never entered his mind (via Daily News)…
"No. I didn't look at it like that. This is where I want to be, and I'm just focusing on doing what I can for the team."
Finally, Mark Spector at Sportsnet reports that the Rangers are talking internally about acquiring Ales Hemsky from the Oilers. Spector feels a third round pick will get it done.
Hemsky is in the final year of his contract that pays him $5 million this season. Hemsky has 7g, 17a this season.
…LOL!!!!!! I think there's been rumors about the Rangers trading for Hemsky since I started this blog back in 2007. Except back then the cost was Brandon Dubinsky.
…hope this isn't a contingency plan if Sather has to trade Callahan and can't get an NHL roster player in return.
…while his contract is fine, I don't see how a player who hasn't scored more than 20 goals since 2009 helps the Rangers finish their opportunities.

New accountant starts work at Erie County Prison
Erie County government has hired an accountant to act as a liaison between the Erie County Prison and the county's Finance Department.
Helen Lucas, a former accountant at Nucom Technology Inc. in Oakton, Va., started in the newly created position this week, county officials said. Her job, approved by Erie County Council in December, pays $29,426 a year.
Lucas also previously worked at Erie Homes for Children and Adults and the Erie businesses ITC Inc., and Hagan Business Machines, county officials said.
Sue Ellen Pasquale, the county's manager of general accounting, said county officials wanted the new position primarily because the prison has some of the most complex payroll and timekeeping practices within county government.
Lucas will be responsible for auditing and processing payroll data before it is submitted to the Finance Department, Pasquale said.
Pasquale said that Lucas will report to supervisors within the county's Finance Department -- Pasquale and Finance Director James Sparber -- as well as prison Warden James Veshecco.
The new job comes in the wake of the county's implementation of a new $130,000-a-year payroll and timekeeping system for all departments, which went live on Oct. 1.
The new system calculates pay and time worked for more than 1,100 county workers. Both Erie County Council and County Executive Barry Grossman publicly voiced concerns in December that some employees are reluctant to use the new system and/or were refusing to use it.
County government has seen employees disciplined, or even fired, for various instances of payroll or time records tampering in recent years -- most recently at the prison, located at East 18th and Ash streets.
Officials believe the new system will make it much tougher to alter or tamper with such records.

11 Books I Miss Reading to My Kids … and One I Don'tmarinka
Having older kids is great! They are more independent, they can do more, and potty training is a very distant memory. But, sob, so is the memory of reading some of my favorite books with my kids.
Recently as I was looking at some books that have been boxed up for years, it brought back so many wonderful memories that I sat my kids down for a special reading. It took me back to what I thought then were the countless nights of reading the books. In fact, the readings were quite finite. And I miss them.

Sigh. I remember. Get it from Amazon $5.39

The Carrot Seed 9 of 12I love this story of a kid who doesn't give up, even though the adults around him are telling him to. This was never my kids' favorite when they were little, but it's one of the books they remember best now that they're older. Get it from Amazon $6.99
Bark, George 10 of 12George's mother wants him to bark. But he's not barking. (Spoiler alert: George barks when he's good and ready to.) Get it from Amazon $11.24
Good Night, Gorilla 11 of 12I liked Good Night, Moon, but I loved Good Night, Gorilla. Gorilla trumps Moon! Get it from Amazon $5.99
Brown Bear, Brown Bear 12 of 12I know. Sacrilege. But Brown Bear, Brown Bear worked my last nerve. I don't know if it was the repetition of the animals or all of them looking at each other, but I am very glad to be done with this book. Get it from Amazon $8.99

"In 2000 a deep love for Bardo Pond provided the inspiration to establish Three Lobed Recordings. Fourteen years later, Bardo Pond and Three Lobed Recordings are proud to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the band's initial releases with Refulgo, an epic double LP collection of the band's earliest 7" singles, split 7" tracks, and compilation appearances. This collection, the first of a series, compiles these essential Bardo Pond tracks in a manner to augment their enjoyment by long-time fans while also introducing this material to those who do not yet possess an encyclopedic knowledge of these modern psych rock pioneers. The material presented on Refulgo all comes from long out-of-print releases (which have also been largely unavailable digitally) and the entire content has been remastered. It has never sounded better." (label info) limited edition of 1000 copies, in gatefold sleeve, with download code

Play Puppy Bowl Fantasy FootballCarleen Coulter
Are you ready for the big game coming up this Sunday? No, I'm not referring to the big human football game, I'm talking about Puppy Bowl X on Animal Planet!
Every year I look forward to the Puppy Bowl. In it, cute adoptable dogs play a canine version of football, complete with a flying hamster driven blimp, animal cheerleaders, and an amazing kitten halftime show. OK, so I also watch the human version afterward, but I sure do adore the puppy game.
I also am a fantasy football fan. Both my husband and I take part in several leagues. So, imagine my joy when I found out that this year you can draft your own Puppy Bowl fantasy team! Then, you can go back and watch during the game and check your points.
Drafting is easy. Just browse the dogs and select your three favorites.
When you are done, you can see your team and share it. Here is my finished team. I took Bach, a Bernese Mountain Dog mix, figuring that his big body would be able to punch in a few touchdown runs. Meanwhile, little Mandy will have the agility to sneak in some goals. Sparky just plain looked energetic. It seemed like a good mix of players to me!
My only complaint is that they don't have all of the puppies that will be on TV Sunday available to draft. But you can still get a good team of three from the ones that are here.
Draft your Puppy Bowl X team here at Animal Planet.

Orange Pop: a look back at 2010's highlightsDecember 27th, 2010, 8:17 pm by KELLI SKYE FADROSKI, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
This year was a comparatively quiet one for Orange County music milestones. Yet from the roaring rebound of Avenged Sevenfold to the breakthrough success of the Steelwells and Stacy Clark, 2010 still sported its share of standout stories, including significant moments for two of the region's biggest bands, the honoring of a guitar legend and the passing of a punk-rock hero.
Click here or the photo above for a slide show of 10 events -- in no particular order -- that had a lasting impact on the local scene during the past dozen months.

I have been to two Dodger events using Gold Star and the seats are great. Getting the tickets was easy. I took the shuttle from Union Station which made it easier and I was able to save money for food! Parking at Union Station is $6.00.

Since I love the Dodgers AND we won that night, it's always a plus! The game was fantastic, with Loney hbitting his first HR of the season. He and Ethier are on a tear.

As the debate continues over what's causing health-care cost growth to slow -- Obamacare or the poor economy -- we're seeing another catalyst have a big impact: the patent cliff.
Drug spending fell for the first time in 55 years, but not because Americans are living healthier. Simply put, some high-profile drugs just got a lot cheaper.
This video discuses why the patent cliff, while a huge threat to the pharmaceutical industry, is a huge opportunity to decrease costs for one of the largest drivers of the national debt. Our health-care analyst takes a look at why generic-drug makers aren't the obvious home-run investment they would appear, despite strong industry tailwinds.
Obamacare will undoubtedly have far-reaching effects. The Motley Fool's new free report, "Everything You Need to Know About Obamacare," lets you know how your health insurance, your taxes, and your portfolio will be affected. Click here to read more.

Informing yourself before hand about your travel destination is never a bad thing when going on vacation, especially when there are language barriers. Maps from online sources are not bad to get the basic facts, however they aren't always going to be available depending on where you are. It probably may seem like a small thing, but it is so important to actually have a travel map of the region in your hands, when you need it.
Don`t forget toorder your map well in advance of your trip. Not only does it give you some time to review it, but you don't want to have your travel map missing in action while you on your way to your holiday destination. General tourist maps aren't going to change very much over short periods of time, so be sure to get yours earlier than needed, rather than risk not having one.

Can u please specify the stages involved in the MM cycle i.e the whole cycle involved in MM.
I also want to know about the technical details of the MM cycle.
The general procurement cycle consists of:
1 Material Requirement (Manual or through MRP/CBP)
2 Checking availability of Material
3 Selection of Vendor
4 Negotiation (Price & Other Condition)
5 Issuing the Purchase Order to Vendor
6 Follow up with Vendor
7 Goods Receipts
8 Goods Issue to Indenting Department
9 Invoice Verifications
10 Consignment Purchase
11 Contract release order
1. You will create material master (MM01)
2. You will create vendors(XK01)
3. Purchase Requisition(ME51N)
4. Request for Quotation (ME41)
5. Maintain Quotation (ME47)
6. Select best vendor and create PO (ME21N)
7. Goods Receipt (MIGO)
8. Invoice Verification (MIRO)
Meantime you can maintain Inforecord for material and vendor combination ( ME11)
You can also have a source list of approved vendors (ME01)
You can create contracts (ME31K)
I am facing problem while i am creating material at MRP1
i gave mrp type = vb
Lot size = hb
its showing error as "specify a valid mrp procedure"
How can i resolve this issue
First will get sales order from the customer.Then will check stock availability then if the stock is not available then PP person will run MRP(Material Requirement planning).
After MRP run you will decide whether the material is to be produced or procured.
Then the procurement cycle starts.
Based on the material requirement you will ask quotation from the vendor then after getting quotation from the vendor you will select the best vendor which is suitable for your procurement like cost, etc.Then you will maintain & compare the quotation.
After quotation is ready you will agree with whether one purchase or continuous purchase.
Then you will maintain the PO & follow up the PO.
Then Goods Receipts, Invoice verification.
Ravi shankar.
Process Flow
The typical procurement cycle for a service or material consists of the following phases:
Determination of Requirements
Materials requirements are identified either in the user departments or via materials planning and control. (This can cover both MRP proper and the demand-based approach to inventory control. The regular checking of stock levels of materials defined by master records, use of the order-point method, and forecasting on the basis of past usage are important aspects of the latter.) You can enter purchase requisitions yourself, or they can be generated automatically by the materials planning and control system.
Source Determination
The Purchasing component helps you identify potential sources of supply based on past orders and existing longer-term purchase agreements. This speeds up the process of creating requests for quotation (RFQs), which can be sent to vendors electronically via SAP EDI, if desired.
Vendor Selection and Comparison of Quotations
The system is capable of simulating pricing scenarios, allowing you to compare a number of different quotations. Rejection letters can be sent automatically.
Purchase Order Processing
The Purchasing system adopts information from the requisition and the quotation to help you create a purchase order. As with purchase requisitions, you can generate Pos yourself or have the system generate them automatically. Vendor scheduling agreements and contracts (in the SAP System, types of longer-term purchase agreement) are also supported.
Purchase Order Follow-Up
The system checks the reminder periods you have specified and - if necessary - automatically prints reminders or expediters at the predefined intervals. It also provides you with an up-to-date status of all purchase requisitions, quotations, and purchase orders.
Goods Receiving and Inventory Management
Goods Receiving personnel can confirm the receipt of goods simply by entering the Po number. By specifying permissible tolerances, buyers can limit over- and underdeliveries of ordered goods.
Invoice Verification
The system supports the checking and matching of invoices. The accounts payable clerk is notified of quantity and price variances because the system has access to PO and goods receipt data. This speeds the process of auditing and clearing invoices for payment.

Complete Purchase Cycle Till FI
Let us go about purchase cycle:
1. Purchase Requistation : First Purchase requisation has to made to purchase department wheever the product need by the user or production depaartment.They are created by tcode me51k.
2. Once the purchase requested, then the purchase department will search for the materail, where available and when available. That is called Material determination.
3. After the search of material is over, then look for who are the parties , who is going to supplies the material in competitive rate. Then select the correct vendor is known as material determination.
4. After that Tender process done through Tcode-ME41.
5. After finilisation of Tender, the vendor selected and purchase order issued. The Creation of Purchase Order is ME21N. There will not be any finance entry while creating the Purchase Order.
6. Once the purchase order issued, then by the terms of PO, the vendor will supply the materials. The Receipt of Good (GR) , done through MIGO or if it is an service entry done through ML81N.
The Entry will be
Inventory account - dr-
GR/IR Clearing a/c - cr-
Purchase a/c - dr-
Purchase offset a/c -cr-
GR/IR clearing is a intermediate account, will be used to connect cost and vendor.
In GR/IR clearin a/c - 1. Assesable Value
2. Sales Tax
3. Surcharge
ie., Other than Cenvat Clearing will be there.
7. After the receipt of material, the Good Receipt along with Invoice Bill submitted to the Excise person handling Central Excise matters, to take Credit of duty for the product.
The entry will be
1. Cenvat Clearin a/c - cr
RG23a Part II a/c - dr
RG23a Part II cess a/c - dr.
8. From the Excise person , the bill move towards the person who passing the bills for payment. He will do the Invoice Receip First through MIRO. Here two document will be created, one for MM and one for FI.
The entry will be
Vendor a/c - Cr-

Cenvat Clearing a/c- dr.
9. After finalisation of Invoice receipt, the bill is for Payment process mode through F-53.
The entry will be
Vendor a/c - dr
Bank a/c - cr.
There is no need to create entry thru J1Is if u post the GR thru MIGO and captuer excise thru J1iex
J1is is used if u post the document with transaction/sub transation type is others.

I just read a post on another thread that said if you can go 5+, 10+ or 16+ hours without eating then you are burning fat for fuel. Does this include the morning? I usually eat dinner around 7 or 8 and when I wake up in the morning, I can go until about 10 or 11 without needing to eat. I usually eat before then, but I can go until 11 if I have to. Does this mean I'm burning fat?
If your insulin levels are low, you are probably burning fat. Fatty acid metabolism doesn't require ketosis, but ketosis does require fatty acid metabolism.

The Detroit Pistons drafted a shooting guard, may return his backcourt partner to the point and have a front line of the future apparently set.
So, could Josh Smith be a fit for the Pistons, who have a need for another athletic wing and will have money to spend?
According to ESPN.com's Marc Stein, the Pistons are expected to be among the 5-6 suitors for the free agent forward who has spent his entire nine-year career with the Atlanta Hawks.
NBA free agency opens at midnight Monday, although deals can't become official until July 10.
Smith reportedly could be seeking a max contract, and the Pistons are expected to have more than $20 million in salary cap space.
The 6-foot-9, 225-pound Smith has played both small and power forward, so Detroit could try playing him alongside Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond.
For his career, Smith has averaged 15.3 points, eight rebounds and 2.1 blocked shots per game. Smith averaged a career-high 18.8 points per game for the Hawks in the shortened 2011-12 season.

A state Senate measure that passed its first legislative hurdle this week could help thwart a repeat of the two upstate Pennsylvania judges accused of railroading hundreds of teens in a prison kickback scheme.
Under legislation sponsored by Sen. Lisa Baker (R., Luzerne), teens would be required to have lawyers in juvenile courts across the state, with counties providing attorneys for defendants who could not afford to pay.
The measure was approved 13-1 on Tuesday by the Senate's judiciary committee.
Baker's bill is the strongest legislative reform so far in response to the kids-for-cash scandal in Luzerne County that led to the arrest and removal from the bench of former Luzerne County Judge Mark A. Ciavarella Jr. and his colleague Michael T. Conahan.

Roll crimp for revolvers.
Taper crimp for autos.
Tapercrimp for revolvers when using hollow base wadcutters or when using bullets without a crimp groove, although they will pull out if the recoil is strong.
April 2, 2010, 01:04 AM
Cool that is what I needed to know thanks, now I need to return my die set, I got a taper crimp set.
April 2, 2010, 07:32 AM
I did not know they made a taper crimp "set" for .38/.357. They do sell separate taper crimp dies for .38/.357, but the sets I have seen were all roll crimp, because that is what is needed 90+% of the time.
April 2, 2010, 08:22 AM
918v has nailed it!
April 2, 2010, 11:51 AM
Yes he did, but I still wonder what "set" the OP has that came with a taper crimp die for .38/.357.
April 2, 2010, 11:55 AM
Prolly a Redding set. Redding makes both roll and taper crimp sets. Sorry for the harassment.
April 2, 2010, 12:31 PM
In earlier posts, Caveman4 indicated he got an RCBS starter kit.
Assuming he also got RCBS dies, I would bet dollars to donuts he got a roll-crimp die with it.
All it needs is proper adjustment to roll-crimp.
If you need help with that, report back and someone will tell you how to set up your seating die to crimp properly.
April 2, 2010, 08:58 PM
rcmodel you are right, but I found out the hard way that rcbs makes both for 38/357, and I will report back, going to reload some 38 this weekend so me and the wife can go plinking.
April 3, 2010, 02:17 PM
Taper crimp is not a problem in 38-.357, it's all I use. Unless you are shooting heavy loads in a scandium frame gun taper crimp will prevent movement in the .38-.357. I load up to 170 gr bullet@1300 fps in the .357 and taper crimp with no bullet movement in recoil. Now the .44 mag or heavy .45 long colt may be a different story.
April 3, 2010, 06:46 PM
In earlier posts, Caveman4 indicated he got an RCBS starter kit.Agh. Sounds like RCBS makes both as well as Redding. Learned sumthin'. Of course, I haven't researched .38.357 die sets in many years.

Tessanne Chin's coach, Adam Levine, alluded to a personal and private burden she'd been carrying this week, but she channeled those raw emotions into her performance on The Voice on Monday, with a searing version of Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" that had the audience on its feet cheering.
Pouring out her heart, the Jamaican power vocalist ended her song with a sustained note that showcased her strength and likely cemented her place in the show's final as the last five contestants battled in the live semifinals round.
"That was crazy what just happened," Levine said. "The sheer talent is just … I think that is probably the most flawless and graceful performance I've ever heard on this show."
Chin was not the only singer to let it all go Monday.
The usually reserved Will Champlin took off his trademark glasses, playing no instruments and using just a mic and heightened stage appeal on Fun's "Carry On" for Team Adam. As his confidence clearly grew, and as the crowd saw his passion, Champlin did something uncharacteristic: he smiled broadly, earning praise for finally showing off his sunnier side.
"I don't think I've ever seen this happen. Look at this smile," Levine said. "I know if Will is smiling, he knows he definitely did well. You're so hard on yourself and you're such a hard worker. That delights me."
Jacquie Lee, Christina Aguilera's lone contestant, also dazzled. Singing Sarah McLachlan's "Angel," the 16-year-old performed it with a maturity beyond her years.
"Wow, you blew me away," said Aguilera, who gave Lee a standing ovation. "That was probably the most perfect … it was wonderful," said Cee Lo Green, who confided to the teen that although he had no artists left in the competition, she made him feel so connected to the music.
The lushly bearded Cole Vosbury blended Southern rock and blue-eyed soul on the Garth Brooks hit "Shameless," prompting his coach, Blake Shelton, to tell him that he'd achieved his goal of finding out what kind of artist he wanted to be.
"I think you figured out who you are and what you want to do and what you're really good at," Shelton told him. "Mission accomplished, dude."
Team Adam's third artist left in the show, James Wolpert, took on U2's reflective rock anthem "With Or Without You." Looking like a hipster Clark Kent in a color-blocked gray and black jacket and skinny tie, the baby-faced Wolpert easily delivered a performance that Levine said made him "proud."
"I think you're great and you being the save last week, you needed a moment like that," Shelton said. "You might have dug yourself out of that hole. That was really strong."
One artist will be eliminated when the show continues Tuesday, and the episode will also feature performances by season four winner Danielle Bradbery and runner-up Michelle Chamuel.

The 5 Steps
1. Make an Observation 2. Develop a Hypothesis 3. Make an Experiment 4. Carry out the Experiment and Analyze results 5. Draw Conclusions
Control Group
Part of an experiment that serves as a basis of comparison to determine the effects of the variable (e.x. plants that don't receive miracle-gro)
Factors in the experiment that remain the same for all parts of the experiment (e.x. type of plant, type of soil, amount of liquid)
Experimental Group
The set-up that contains the independent variable. Usually a large sample is needed to make sure that results are correct (e.x. for average height of 14 year old boys, measuring 100 people is more accurate than measuring 10)
Dependent Variable
In the y-axis, the variable that changes as a result of of the independent variable. This is what you measure and observe in the experiment (e.x. the height of the plants)

Brenda Hunt knew she had gained weight, but she never considered stomach-bypass surgery. When her doctor told her she was a candidate, Hunt didn't believe it and told him so.
"I said, 'Are you nuts? I'm fat, but not that fat.' "
Seventy pounds packed on a result of steroid medication meant Hunt was indeed a candidate for the weight-loss shortcut of the stars. But Hunt, of Wynnefield Heights, decided to lose weight the old-fashioned way - and with what she describes as a little heavenly help.

quicksortVector(vector & v)Good identifier:
sortVectorIntoAlphaOrder(vector & v)Bad identifier:
collateCustomerNames(vector & v)Name services after what they do, and postpone the why until the point of usage. There's a great "a-ha" when you see "collatedCustomers = sortVectorAlphabetically(customers)" in the source; the "a-ha" is lacking when you see just "collatedCustomers = collateCustomerNames(customers)". If you want to abstract the "what", you should still have sortVectorAlphabetically for code reuse, and only redefine collateCustomerNames to not use it when change comes. -- PanuKalliokoski
sortVectorIntoAlphaOrder(vector & v)Good identifier:
collateCustomerNames(vector & v)The first recants its own internal implementation. Hint: Courageous programmers expect to replace implementation at the drop of a hat. The second advertises why you should call the function, thus promoting reuse. [RefactorMe: Please link to & from relevant pages.] See IntentionRevealingSelector for the original name of the pattern. IntentionRevealingNames is more general. I think the naming above violates ModelViewController unnecessarily. sortVect(v, cmp) is the model, collateCustomers(cust) is the view. -- PanuKalliokoski 13 May 2004 Now that I've reflected a little upon this, I've come to the conclusion that not only this violates ModelViewController, it is also a major hindrance of code reuse. People seem to confuse the how vs what question with what vs why. Almost everybody agrees that you should not name things after how they do something. But the above example does not say how the vector is sorted; it is not how, but what it does. And this is a good naming principle. Naming after the why (as the "good" identifier above) makes the service unusable elsewhere, because customer collating "owns" the name. Rather, name services after what they do, and postpone the why until the point of usage. There's a great "a-ha" when you see this in the source: collatedCustomers = sortVectorAlphabetically(customers); the "a-ha" is lacking when you see just: collatedCustomers = collateCustomerNames(customers); if you want to abstract the "what", you should still have sortVectorAlphabetically for code reuse, and only redefine collateCustomerNames to not use it when change comes. -- PanuKalliokoski 20 Jul 2004
> The following is probably silly but I've struggled with it. If I have a > 'pure' container, in this case a vector, that will be of fixed size and > keep things in sorted order, is fixed_sorted_vector a reasonable name or > is this too long?Name things after their intent. Do not name them after their implementation. "Ordered_Set" is the intent; "sorted_vector" is the implementation here. Name things with complete words, not ugly acronyms, if they have a scope larger than a small block. Don't worry about typing them, or line length. Learn to copy-n-paste quickly, and I'd keep a right column limit of 130 characters these days.
> What if the intent is to be a sorted vector? Is that still also the > implementation and ordered_set is preferable?Of course you intend to implement. But you have to defend the name, outside the implementation, against the day when the implementation changes. It could change to a map<>, or a fixed_map<>. If the name reveals the intent (per Kent Beck's Smalltalk Best Practice Patterns) then those reading it know more about how they can use it. "InterfaceOrientedProgramming?" again. Telling them the implementation hints at how they can abuse it. --PhlIp AreLongAndDescriptiveRelated

Six Flags Over Texas shuttering the Texas Chute Out and the Flashback
Say so long to the Texas Chute Out and the Flashback, two popular rides at Six Flags Over Texas.
The Arlington amusement park announced today that the two attractions are shutting down after the Labor Day weekend.
If you've ever driven along Interstate 30, you've seen the 200-foot Texas Chute Out. That ride, which opened in 1976, was modeled after the old parachute drop at Coney Island.
And, according to the folks at Six Flags, the Flashback was one of the first "boomerang-styled" coasters built in the U.S. It opened in 1989.
I only rode the Flashback once, and that was enough. Forward, backward, upside down — my neck and stomach were never the same.
But if you're not a wimp, or more adventurous than I am, Sept. 3 is your last chance to hop on the rides.
No word yet on what the park will do with the space. But Dallas Morning News intern Rachel Siegel will have more about the closures in Friday's paper.

KIWI Magazine and American Airlines Bring Healthy Fun and Snacks to the Summer Skies
KIWI Magazine and American Airlines have partnered to offer the Kiwi Care Package to parents traveling with children on select American Airlines flights beginning June 11, 2007. The innovative in-flight promotion provides education for parents, fun activities for children, and healthy product samples for both to enjoy.
Flight attendants will offer the Kiwi Care Package to parents traveling with children on select American transcontinental flights departing from New York (JFK), Los Angeles, Miami and San Francisco. The package also is available in eight Admirals Club lounges, including New York (JFK and LGA), Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Miami and Denver.
Each packet contains an issue of KIWI Magazine, a KiwiKids Fun Page, which has activities and games for kids, and healthy product samples. Samples will change regularly, with the first month's assortment featuring Snikiddy snacks, College Farm NaturePop organic lollipops, and SunButter peanut-free spread.
"We're very excited to take KIWI's healthy family lifestyle message to American Airlines passengers," commented Maxine Wolf, chief executive officer of May Media Group, publisher of KIWI Magazine. "It's always challenging to keep children entertained while traveling, so we designed a program that would not only be helpful to parents in that respect, but would also teach them about today's healthier product options."
Lauri Curtis, American Airlines Vice President - Onboard Service, said, "With the summer travel season upon us, the Kiwi promotion couldn't come at a better time to help make the flying experience for families more enjoyable. We are certain the Kiwi Care Package will be a big hit with our young travelers, as well as with their parents. It's a great example of how American is forging strategic relationships with partners who add value for our passengers and enhance the travel experience."
The initial Kiwi Care Package promotion kicks-off today for the summer. Future plans for the program will be announced as they become available.

COD Black Ops Patch Problematic
COD Black Ops player friends have been complaining about increasing host issues, lagging issues, and party issues. Not everyone gets in, and sometimes we loose members. Today the latest patch for Call of Duty: Black Ops has come out. There seems to be a large number of even more complaints coming up from players on PS3 and to a lesser extent PC. The patch was intended to improve the game and fix several other glitches and bugs. While at the same time adding some new features and content. With the update you can set up offline matches with AI bots. There are over 400 new contracts. You can now use a split-screen option for multiplayer action. Both of those, I think you could do all ready. Also added, the theater mode has a new "Dolly Cam" feature to aid in custom movie making. Unfortunately presently it seems to have backfired.Read more →

Former eBay CEO Meg Whitman joined the board of directors of Zipcar, replacing long-time Zipcar investor and board member, Jim Gerson. Zipcar is a car-sharing network with more than 530,000 members and 8,500 vehicles in urban areas and college campuses throughout the U.S., Canada and UK. Zipcar offers more than 30 makes and models of self-service vehicles by the hour or day to residents and businesses looking for an alternative to the high costs and hassles of owning a car.
Whitman said in a statement, "I am delighted to be joining the Zipcar board at such an exciting time in the company's development. I believe passionately in the power of technology and innovation to drive new forms of consumer behavior. eBay transformed how people think about retail by allowing consumers to buy and sell goods through online auctions, and I believe Zipcar is positioned to transform how people think about transportation. In my view, car sharing is one of the most exciting innovations in transportation since the invention of the automobile."
Whitman recently rejoined the board of directors of Procter & Gamble and also recently joined the board at Hewlett Packard.

Philadelphia police Capt. Francis P. Friel was scheduled to be promoted next month to inspector, a well-earned advancement, in the view of his peers in the department, for an officer who took on the mob - and won.
But the 28-year veteran, who scored a perfect 100 in the inspector's examination, decided instead to pass on the promotion and retire Friday. Today he'll begin another career in law enforcement as director of public safety in Bensalem Township.
"It would have been my fondest dream to be promoted," said Friel, 46, in a recent interview. "But Bensalem's needs happened to coincide with Frank Friel's needs. They needed a public safety director, and Frank Friel wanted to run a police department."

HARRY POTTER author JK Rowling has won a court battle to stop two men leaking details of her eagerly-awaited latest book after a dramatic operation to recover two stolen copies.
The book, due to be published on July 16, was offered to two national newspapers.
Edinburgh resident Rowling was granted a High Court injunction against the men, aged 19 and 37, after they were accused of trying to sell printed copies of Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince.
Spokesmen for The Sun and the Daily Mirror said both had been contacted by someone claiming to have copies of the new book.
The newspapers said they each planned to meet the man in Kettering, Northants, to ensure the books were returned to the publishers.
A Northamptonshire Police spokesman said they arrested two men after being contacted about the book.
"Two books were recovered and they are currently being held in secure circumstances as evidence," said a spokesman.
Police said later that the two men arrested had both been charged with weapons offences and handling the stolen books.
Both were released on police bail until early next week when they will appear before magistrates in the county.

Comments about Chicago Bulls 8x8 White Decal Logo:
