Rule Would Help Families Make Healthier Food Choices
WASHINGTON, December 18, 2009 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) today announced that it will solicit further public comments on the proposed rule, "Nutrition Labeling of Single-Ingredient Products and Ground or Chopped Meat and Poultry Products." The rule is designed to help families make more informed decisions when purchasing and consuming meat and poultry products by requiring nutrition labeling of major cuts of single-ingredient, raw meat and poultry products.
This supplement to the proposed rule responds to all comments received on the January 18, 2001, proposed rule and requests additional comments on policies for which there were significant differences of opinion.
On January 18, 2001, FSIS published a proposed rule in the Federal Register entitled, "Nutrition Labeling of Ground or Chopped Meat and Poultry Products and Single-Ingredient Products" (66 FR 4969). Because of the length of time since the publication of the proposed rule, FSIS is providing the public an opportunity to comment on this supplemental proposed rule. FSIS also welcomes comments on relevant issues for which there is new evidence since the proposed rule was issued.
Comments on the proposed rule must be received by February 16, 2010. Comments can be sent to Docket Clerk, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service, 5601 Sunnyside Ave, Room 2-2127, Beltsville, Md. 20705; or through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at www.regulations.gov . Go to http://www.regulations.gov and in the "Search for Open Regulations" box, select "Food Safety and Inspection Service" from the agency drop-down menu and then click on "Submit." In the Docket ID column, select Docket Number FSIS-2005-0018 to submit or view public comments and to view supporting and related materials available electronically.
For further information contact Sally Jones, Senior Technical Advisor, Labeling and Program Delivery Division, Office of Policy and Program Development, USDA, FSIS, 5601 Sunnyside Avenue, Block A, 2nd Wing, 2nd Floor Room 2-2124, Beltsville, MD 20705, or by phone at (301) 504-0878.

HOT Or NOT? Bollywood Babes This Week Fawad Khan: I Am Not A Very Talkative Person Deepika, Arjun Get Goofy On Comedy Nights With Kapil 96437 Prev Next Apple pie, cookies, donuts and cupcakes are every girl's best friends. And Ranbir Kapoor, Imran Khan and Salman Khan are every girl's dream. No real connection, we know. But talking of yummy desserts and yummier men had our pretty little heads in a tizzy, thinking: What if these hotties were turned into desserts just for a day; who would they be? From chocolate heroes to cheesy heroines, our Bollywood celebrities would make for some pretty indulgent desserts. Check out who we think is a cupcake and who would be the perfect bundi ka laddoo. Amitabh Bachchan: The first angry young (err..not anymore) man of Bollywood, there's a side to Amitabh Bachchan that not many know. When it comes to family and especially his granddaughter, he is so emotional. Rough on the outside and gooey on the inside; just like an apple pie, don't you think? Vidya Balan: Delectable and desi, this sari-clad actress is definitely the South Indian version of kheer aka payasam. Sonam Kapoor: Other than her fashion sense, this actress is nothing but plain vanilla. Okay, vanilla ice cream with colourful sprinkles on top! Anuskha Sharma: Getting skinnier by the day, Anushka Sharma so reminds us of an ice lolly. Hoping she doesn't just melt away :-P Mallika Sherawat: She likes to twist people round and round with her lies and fake sweetness. This 'Jalebi bai' is just that - a jalebi! Imran Khan: Don't you want to just take a bite out of this chocolate boy? Cute as hell, he is a cupcake for sure! Kareena Kapoor: Post marriage the fair-skinned actress has shed her size zero avatar and gained a little weight. With her skin tone and newly acquired figure, she makes for the perfect rosogolla. Shah Rukh Khan: Shah means king. So no wonder the superstar is known as King Khan. He so deserves to be Shahi Tukda. Alia Bhatt: All pink and frilly, doesn't this cute diva remind you of a macaroon. Ranveer Singh: We saw him on the elbow of Anushka Sharma and nowadays he is making the rounds of Deepika Padukone's house. No doubt, he's yummy but too sticky at times, don't you think? We'd say he's like aam papad :-D Ranbir Kapoor: To compare him to one single dessert just does not seem fair, right? So we decided on a hot sizzling brownie with lots of chocolate syrup and ice cream. *drool* Aishwarya Rai: Don't you think Ash is a little pretentious? With her frequent visits to Cannes, we think a crepe is her perfect dessert match. Aamir Khan: Mr Perfectionist can get on your nerves at times. He wants everything prim and proppa and gives us no scandals to gossip about. Care for simple tea cake? Preity Zinta: Zesty and tangy this actress adds flavour to everything, sometimes with her words and sometimes with her dimpled smiles. Lemon tart for sure. Sonakshi Sinha: Boring as usual, not to mention getting rounder by the minute, Sonakshi's desi girl charm so reminds us of a Bundi ka Ladoo. Rajinikanth: Romantic, passionate, angry and even a robot, this amazing hero can accomplish anything. Classic to the core, he is definitely the yummy Gulab Jamun. Salman Khan: Given a chance we'd be love to get a piece of this hunk. Known for leading his women in circles, he think he's a sugar daddy... oops... donut! Saif Ali Khan: Royal and regal, this hot star is such a Crème Brûlée. Katrina Kaif: The pretty, smooth-skinned actress reminds us of strawberry shortcake, the strawberry being her lips. :-p Priyanka Chopra: The In my city singer has a love for the Big Apple.

Where's the trophy?December 12,2013
Where's the trophy?
In the late 1940s, early 1950s, the Vermont Headmasters Association commissioned a trophy to recognize the annual Vermont Class L high school men's basketball champions. This mounted cup was engraved each year with the name of the Class L champion school. The trophy could be retired permanently to a school only if that school won the championship for three consecutive years, what was believed to be almost impossible. Spaulding High School accomplished this extraordinary feat starting with its 1961 state championship team and concluding with its third consecutive championship in 1963. The trophy was officially presented to Spaulding and the city of Barre for permanent keeping in 1963.
At a recent class of '61 reunion, several of us who were members of the 1961 team went to see it. Surprisingly, the trophy is nowhere to be found, and no one recalls what might have happened to it. It was confirmed as being in the old high school trophy case and appears to have been in the case of the new high school for some time. No one can recall exactly when it went missing or where it might be.
Some might write all of this off to a few old men obsessed with a trivial artifact from their youth. Nothing could be further from the truth. This was a recognition of excellence and of extraordinary accomplishment. The trophy is a part of Vermont basketball history; it is a part of the history of Barre and Spaulding High School. Most importantly, it is part of the history of everyone who had any association with those championship teams of 1961, 1962 and 1963.
The "grail" needs to be recovered and returned to its rightful place.
We need people's help finding it. If you have any recollection of it, or any ideas about where it might be, please contact us by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 800-258-0802.

So finally I think I have some bottle success with the playtex drop-ins with natural latex nipples, she took 2 oz off me today which is a huge deal. I kinda hate this disposable system, but it does seem to work well for my LO so I guess this is it. We tried the Dr. Browns wide base nipple as well too, she takes it OK, but not as well as the Playtex Drop In style even though the nipples are very similiar in shape.
I am returning to work in two more months and wonder if I should get their system to pump directly into the bags so as to not risk dropping milk. I am very clumsy myself and don't want to risk losing my liquid gold.
this is the system: http://www.playtexbaby.com/Bottles/D...lk-Storage-Kit
My pump is a Medella Pump in Style.
Does this system work well for pumping and how can you warm bottles with this style? Also she seemed to do better with the fast flow nipple, I do have quite a powerful letdown, so should I stick with that or try to get her onto the slow flow?
Any ladies who use this system, please pass on your tips of how you pump, store and feed. Thanks!

As crowds gather at Miami University (Ryan's Alma Mater) in Oxford, Ohio for a Victory event today with Paul Ryan, the campaign announces that America's next Vice President will attend another rally at an Ohio university tomorrow.
The announcement comes as a new poll is showing Romney making big gains among young voters:
For the first time since he began running for president, Republican Mitt Romney has the support of over 40 percent of America's youth vote, a troubling sign for President Obama who built his 2008 victory with the overwhelming support of younger, idealistic voters.
Pollster John Zogby of JZ Analytics told Secrets Tuesday that Romney received 41 percent in his weekend poll of 1,117 likely voters, for the first time crossing the 40 percent mark. What's more, he said that Romney is the only Republican of those who competed in the primaries to score so high among 18-29 year olds.
"This is the first time I am seeing Romney's numbers this high among 18-29 year olds," said Zogby. "This could be trouble for Obama who needs every young voter he can get."
With 50% of recent grad either unemployed or underemployed, it's no surprise that younger voters are ditching Obama for someone who actually has a plan to create jobs for the next generation.
Tomorrow's rally will take place at at Walsh University in North Canton, Ohio. The event begins at 9:30AM EDT — get more info and tickets to the event here.
PS: Rick Santorum is also in Ohio today stumping for the Romney-Ryan ticket. Thanks, Rick!

What is in this article?:
- Catching up with Richard Sandoval in Aspen
- Father's Day dishes; Peruvian cuisine
This is part of NRN's special coverage of the 2013 Food & Wine Classic held in Aspen, Colo., June 14-16.
As the chef and owner of Richard Sandoval Restaurants, Richard Sandoval now oversees more than 37 restaurants in New York City; Washington, DC; Virginia; Denver; Las Vegas; Santa Monica, CA; Snowmass Village, CO; Mexico; Dubai; and Qatar. His restaurants feature Mexican, coastal Mexican and Latin-Asian flavors. Opera star Placido Domingo is a longtime business partner.
Restaurant Hospitality editor-in-chief Michael Sanson discussed healthy menus, tequila and Top Chef with the busy restaurateur.
RH: You're now working with a nutritionist to create "Latin Light" menu items that are all under 500 calories. What was behind this move?
• Chefs offer tips on breaking into broadcast
• Dufresne, Keller, Ripert discuss careers, legacy
• More food and beverage coverage at NRN.com
Sandoval: It's a trend to eat healthier and people are more aware of what they put in their mouth. La Sandia is more of a family restaurant, so I wanted to offer these menu items, and I had the help of a chef friend who took my menu items and tested them for calorie count. We're testing these at all four of the La Sandia locations. If they're a success, we may do the same at other restaurants.
RH: You always have something new brewing. We hear that you're getting into the tequila business with George Clooney and Rande Gerber. What's the story behind this venture?
Sandoval: I'm a big tequila aficionado. It's my drink of choice. Rande Gerber and George Clooney created a tequila, Casamigos. Rande and George have houses in Cabo and they've been drinking this great tequila for 10 years and smuggling it into the States. So finally they asked me to help bottle it. I've worked before with Rande at a couple restaurants and I know he and George know their stuff when it comes to tequila. It's on the market right now.
RH: You'll also be competing in the fifth season of Top Chef Masters on Bravo next month. I would think that at this point in your career you have nothing to prove.
Sandoval: They called me and invited me. I thought it was very interesting and I thought it would be a lot of fun, and it was. This was filmed quite some time back and a winner was named, but I can't talk about it.
RH: As far as your company goes, you've not only spread yourself all over the country with restaurants, but now you're in far-flung international locations. How do you keep up with it all?
Sandoval: I have 37 restaurants and 10 different brands. But going from one to two restaurants and two to three was more difficult than adding restaurants now. It's never easy opening a restaurant, but it's easier. I have a great team and a great corporate office and it's what I love to do. Of course I do it for financial rewards, but I truly love this industry and I won't stop until I start putting out bad restaurants.

When i pick him up I have to hold him and cannot put him down. I get him to sleep and go to lay him down and those little eyes pop open! He is almost 7 weeks and I cannot get anything done!

Amber Michelle Pendley was charged with possession or transport of chemicals with intent to manufacture drugs, penalty group one.
The penalty group listed in the charge elevates it to a second degree felony. If convicted, Pendley could be sentenced to 20 years in a state prison and fined $10,000.
Detective Lt. Chris Bernal said officers became aware of what was going on in the house at 1105 N. Berry St. after they received a call of a fight in progress in that block shortly after 2 p.m.
Patrolman Chris Holler and Detective Greg Baron responded to the call, and Bernal arrived later.
Bernal said he started questioning Pendley and eventually asked her for permission to look around the house.
She consented and officers quickly discovered a number of items at the back of the residence that could be used to make methamphetamine.
Police Chief Joe Treviño said that included an ice chest with plastic tubing and some chemicals that police recognized because of the chemical's use in making the drug.
Bernal said investigators with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration are working with local narcotics agents in preparing the case against the suspect for the Bee County Grand Jury.
Detectives also said the chemicals used to make the drug are flammable or explosive and were potentially dangerous.
A special cleanup team had to be called from out of town to collect the evidence.
One of the investigators said those chemicals included acids, corrosive chemical base compounds and flammable liquids.
Baron said neighbors around the house were notified of the potential danger at the residence.
One of the investigators said the chemicals used to make methamphetamine are volatile and could damage the lungs if they are breathed.
Another investigator said he is not sure how long the lab had been in operation or how much methamphetamine had been made before officers discovered the operation.
He confirmed that investigators found that some of the drug had been completed and that another batch was being prepared.

Columns to host WWII exhibit
August 2, 2012 —
MILFORD, PA — The Pike County Historical Society's interns have created a new exhibit that depicts a WWII timeline through the use of archival newspapers and the often hard-hitting headlines the front pages relayed, to open on Saturday, August 11 with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. College students Grace D'Agostino and Christopher Walsh have spent a good part of their summer working at The Columns Museum with museum director Lori Strelecki.
The idea for the exhibit is the result of a recent find of the newspapers, in the gold mine of history the third floor closets of the museum contain. "Just when we thought we had sorted through all the boxes stored in various locations in the museum, we came across these papers and just knew we had to display them," said Strelecki.
D'Agostino and Walsh were eager to put the exhibit together, and they will also incorporate WWII memorabilia, War Bond and Victory Bond Posters, and perhaps even some audio and visual support.
Light refreshments, which will be WWII era-appropriate, will be served. Admission is free; however, donations are always welcome. Call 570/296-8126 for more information.

The Rock County Sheriff's Office is trying to find a man who a witness saw walking on foot in bitterly cold temperatures Monday night.
Deputies were called to the intersection of North Little Road and County Road A in Janesville Township at 8:26 p.m. for a report of a man walking and stumbling on County Road A.
The temperature at the time was 2 degrees and the wind chill was -14.
The passerby said the man was white, in his late 40s to late 50s, about 6 feet tall and weighing 220 to 230 pounds with dark or gray facial hair. He was wearing a tan-colored coat and dark pants and had difficulty keeping his balance while walking.
He was last seen at 8:28 p.m. walking across a field.
A search started a few minutes later. Janesville police assisted deputies with a K-9 and also used a thermal imaging device. The DNR canvassed the area with a thermal imaging-equipped airplane.
The search ended at 4:24 a.m.
Anyone with information to help determine the well-being of the man is asked to call 608-757-2244.

Inventive, contemporary Portuguese Cuisine
in the heart of the Sonoma Valley Wine Country...
At home amidst the historic buildings surrounding Sonoma's landmark central plaza, LaSalette Restaurant has earned its reputation as one of the Sonoma Valley's favorite restaurants since its inception in 1998. Chef Manuel Azevedo's signature Cozinha Nova Portuguesa – "new Portuguese cuisine" – celebrates the varied and complex flavors of his native Portuguese homeland while adapting them to the immense offerings of top-quality ingredients from his current home in California. The result is a unique cuisine characterized by familiar Southern European comfort ingredients (olive oil, olives, garlic, tomatoes, onions, wine, parsley, etc.), exotic seasonings picked from around the globe during hundreds of years of Portuguese expeditionary voyages, and fresh local and seasonal Californian produce. As the success of LaSalette attests, it's a winning combination for lovers of traditional Portuguese fare and adventurous gourmets alike. LaSalette consistently rates amongst Sonoma Valley's top restaurants in review sites.
LaSalette invites diners for a leisurely meal while soaking up the relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant. On any night of the week, you will find Chef Azevedo cooking up a storm at the restaurant's open, wood-fired oven or giving his meticulous eye over dish presentation. The aroma of fresh house-baked bread intermingled with sizzling sardines and Portuguese spices wafts through the restaurant's interior and out to the terrace beyond. Patrons feel as if they are dining in the chef's own home – there's a welcoming atmosphere made warm and cozy by hanging brass cookware, wooden tables fashioned from old wine boxes, burlap draperies, and Portuguese hand-painted pottery. Diners can enjoy a casual lunch on the terrace by day or linger over an evening meal served al fresco under the stars while listening to Fado, the traditional music of Portugal, by night. Best of all, of course, is the food, which will leave you completely sated yet somehow craving more.

redsn0w jailbreak tool now available for iOS 4.3.4, with a catch
redsn0w jailbreak tool now available for iOS 4.3.4, with a catch
Apple released iOS 4.3.4 on Friday in an effort to fix a security vulnerability that was present on both the iPhone and the iPad. The fix was supposed to prevent hackers from using a PDF security hole to jailbreak both devices. That didn't quite work. The next day iPhone Dev Team was able to route around the security fix and issued a jailbreak tool for iOS 4.3.4. iPhone Dev Team has released the latest redsn0w jailbreak tool, but unfortunately it forces iOS 4.3.4 users to keep their iPhone or iPad tethered to their computer during sync and reboot. In other words, if you haven't already updated to iOS 4.3.4 and want your iPhone or iPad to remain jailbroken, you're going to be best off sticking with iOS 4.3.3 until another workaround is found.

How is he supplemented now? I may have some suggestions to help with this!Originally Posted by darleen
How is he supplemented now? I may have some suggestions to help with this!Originally Posted by darleen
I hope this isn't advice you've already gotten as it might help. i completely feel for you. I went through h-e- double hockeysticks getting my daughter to nurse well it was horrible until she was about 3 months. I completely understand the desire to do this. I was consumed to get it right! it was as if I needed to prove my womanliness by breastfeeding successfully which is silly because that has no bearing on you as a woman.
anyway, my suggestion was this: have you tried switch nursing? its where you let him eat on one side until he starts to get disinterested, ie: pulling off, flutter-sucking, etc. you then switch sides and continue on the other side until he loses interest and then go back to the original breast. its usually enough time for him to get that "burst" of flow from let down and that might keep him interested longer. this worked with my daughter who had the same problems you are descibing. also, I would "prime the pump" so to speak by hand expressing a little before latching to get the flow started, so she would get an instant reward, and then I would do breast compressions the entire time she ate. i really hope this helps. I have SO been there where you are and I promise you, you CAN do this!! There are only a small number of women in the world that truly can't breastfeed, so your chances are more than good htat you will succeed if you believe you can. Prayers you way they are coming!!
To LLLJolie:
I am currently fingerfeeding him, which I guess is slower than a bottle, but faster than actual breast. If you have any suggestions I'd LOVE to hear them!!!
To Coastieowife:
Thanks SO much for your support. It is priceless! I have tried switch nursing-it's actually the only way I could keep him awake when he was very little, before we supplemented. I also do sqeeze the breast each time for encouragement. This afternoon, he suckled the left breast (the one that produces more) for 15 mins, and it really seemed as though he was interested and getting something! However, he still needed to be supplemented. I do think I get a little obsessive about this, but I really want it to happen. I think you are definately right that it becomes a bigger issue when I feel like such a failure. I do try to chill out a little. It's funny that you said your daughter got it by 3 months- that seems to be the magic number. I'd be happy to go like this for 3 more weeks! Again, thank you both so much for your help and support!!!!!!
I had the same problem with my son latching on when he was younger. We actually had to take breast milk I had pumped into a bottle and a little baby spoon and we would get his mouth open to feed and put my nipple right in from of him and dump the spoon filled with pumped milk all over my nipple and into his mouth and then he would latch really good. Of course we had to do this a couple of times at first, but it worked eventually!!! He is now a 12 week old with no latching issues at all!!! Hope that will help someone!
oh was gonna say, do you hold the bottle or whatever it is you are using with the finger feeder above the baby's head or do you keep it down? try to keep it below the baby's head so the baby can control the flow...I had to use the finger feeded and believe me I wanted to have a "lets-all-burn-the-finger-feeder" party when I stopped needing it. I had t slowly wean her from formula supplementation, but once I did, everything was all honkey dorey! hwo are things today? any better? each day is one more day closer to getting everything the way you want it!
Things have actually improved. I can now get him to nurse longer, but he still needs supplementation each time. We are going out of town for a week and I hope this doesn't mess things up. I'm talking the hospital pump w/ me but won't be able to pump for 6 or more hours while flying, so I hope a few times like that in a week won't be disasterous. I really wonder if my supply is low, since now he'll suckle for a while and not seem full. I ordered the domperidone, but that won't come until we're back in town. I am VERY encouraged about his new attitude. I hope he can keep it up for a week.
Alishabailey, I'll try that trick if he won't latch on. I usually try to express a little first, and that usually helps. Thanks for the suggestion.
Coastie, I do hold it below his head. In fact, what I've started to do was to pinch the tube a little so flow is slower and harder to get. As soon I started to do that, he nursed better. It could be a coincidence, who knows? I can't WAIT to get rid of the finger feeder. I will need some kind of bottle though for when I return to work. I ordered one from the internet that the LC uses w/ her kids that looks like a breast and has variable flow.
Please keep up the encouragement! Thanks!

When considering the optimal number of founders for any new entrepreneurial adventure, the calculus extends well beyond simple formulas seemingly supported by observations of startup cohorts within specific industries. Famous technology twosomes that come to mind include David Packard and William Hewlett of Hewlett-Packard, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak of Apple, Paul Allen and Bill Gates of Microsoft, Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google. In these examples, it is widely observed that these buddy teams complemented each other well in the early formative years of their companies.
In a piece for the Harvard Business Review, Kauffman's director of private equity Diane Mulcahy debunked six VC myths to empower founders when negotiating for funding.
At age 25, Laura Sanko was a founding member of a startup that raised $3.5 Million from some world-famous investors and the Founder's Fund. The business model was simple: a website that rented high-end jewelry for special occasions for a fraction of the retail value of each piece. Three years later, the investment money was all gone and while the site continued to operate, it had failed to meet the investors' expectations. I sat down with Laura to figure out what went wrong.
CellScope creates tools for consumers to use at home to remotely diagnose common ailments. Its co-founder offered entrepreneurial insights on selling the vision, finding the right funding fit, and not being afraid to ask.
Orpyx co-founder and CEO shares her insights on approaching heavy hitters, finding employees who will thrive, and striking the balance between passion and objectivity.
When we think about the startup life we're often occupied with visions of long days and late nights in the office and the all consuming passion that overtakes a life as someone takes a vision and turns it into reality. An entrepreneur certainly has many things that can easily engulf his or her life as they balance product creation, customer development, hiring, sales and financing, to name but a few. But what about the other side of the life equation? Entrepreneurs have families, friends, spouses, and partners who play an important role.
"If you truly believe in the potential of your company to change the world for the better, there's no excuse for settling for an acquisition."
I was reading through this month's Inc. magazine earlier when this quote caught my eye. My first thought was to challenge the notion. There are specific occasions when an acquisition is exactly what a company needs to move forward or to move on. This is just how things work, but the bold words sparked my interest enough to turn the page. I flipped to Issie Lapowsky's feature with Vimeo founder Jake Lodwick. Lodwick was fired a year and a half after selling Connected Ventures, the parent company of Vimeo and College Humor, to InterActive Corp, an Internet company that owns the likes of match.com, Urbanspoon, and dictionary.com. After the acquisition, he felt stripped of his creativity. Where innovation once dwelled, process was introduced. Lodwick was fired a week and a half before he planned to quit. This experience backs his words of advice to entrepreneurs who think an acquisition means nothing will change within the mission of an organization. Lodwick bitterly states that "in fact the mission was lost, and everything will change."
Yesterday, entrepreneurship was given a spotlight panel at the United Nations General Assembly.

#1 Weidmann warns of currency war risk01-22-2013, 12:54 AM
By Michael Steen in Frankfurt
The erosion of central bank independence around the world threatens to unleash a round of competitive exchange rate devaluations, which leading economies have so far avoided during the financial crisis, the president of Germanys Bundesbank warned on Monday.
Jens Weidmann, whose institutions own fierce independence from political influence was the model for the European Central Bank when it was founded, said Stephen King, the chief economist at HSBC, was perhaps right in forecasting an end to the era of central bank independence.

I would have replaced Tony Gibson last year. You can't put an engineer with a racer. It does not work.
You can put a racer(driver) with an engineer but not a racer(crew chief) with an(engineer). They don't
understand each other. I'm glad that you finally took care of that for Ryan. We wish Tony the best.
I don't think that Tony has bigger fans than our family. We just don't understand the problems.
Why so many? Tony, Ryan, and Danica. Tony should be in his 7th championship. As far as this Nov.

Political rhetoric in the United States, particularly on the right, has a strong tendency to focus on the incomparable economic freedom of Americans and American businesses. They portray the rest of the world as more socialistic and the American system as the closest thing to a free market economy operating in the world. Yet that is far from the truth. In fact, America is swiftly being supplanted as a preferred place of business by many other countries in the rich world.
Government action distorts and then warps the private sector.

A giant has fallen. Video game developer and publisher THQ filed for Chapter 11, and like the death of any loved one, it seemed to come out of an impossible nowhere. Right now, video games have bigger budgets than NASA and use more advanced technology. THQ was a billion-dollar company. It had the exclusive license to Disney, Pixar, and WWE games. Selling fake fights to wrestling fans is how you switch your target market to easy mode.
THQ wasn't some dot-com disaster or a fartbubble in the filthy shared bathwater of social network gaming. No one's surprised that Zynga is now hemorrhaging money and employees. Zynga's core strategy was "Find the most easily distracted people in the world, then try to hold their attention for several years."
The average FarmVille player can't even pronounce "Zynga."
THQ lost money so quickly and impossibly that Donald Trump thought he was CEO and declared bankruptcy again. I've spent more time with products of THQ than some products of my own family tree, so I'd like to say a few words.
The first thing people ask after any death is what the cause was, and for THQ, the answer was more embarrassing than being found tied to David Carradine.
The most humiliating hara-kiri in history.
The original uDraw was an art accessory for the Wii. This made sense, because by definition Wii owners will buy extremely limited hardware for the sake of some simple fun. But that's because Nintendo has three guaranteed top-notch franchises. (It used to have four, but it gave Metroid to Team NINJA, a company that thinks women need concealed-carry permits to cover their breasts. Metroid: Other M robbed Samus Aran of so much dignity, she was lucky she didn't end up in transparent armor.)
Team Ninja
Samus idly remembering when her gender was a non-skintight surprise.
The uDraw still managed to make a few dollars. Then THQ went completely insane by releasing it for the Xbox 360 and PS3. There hasn't been such suicidal marketing since the Alamo's "New Year 1836 Half-Price Ammunition for Mexicans" sale. THQ claimed that market research indicated a "strong demand" for these products, which only proved that THQ shouldn't have slept with market research's wife. That year's top-selling Xbox games were Modern Warfare 3, Skyrim, and Battlefield 3. The only color that console's players wanted to paint was red, with close-range shotgun blasts and an enemy corpse.
Marketing a cheap coloring tool to the PS3 crowd was like offering magnetic poetry to stick on the side of a nuclear reactor: Anyone who wants to use such expensive hardware like that isn't allowed near it. They might as well have offered HAL 9000 a Speak & Spell. Over a million unsold units contributed to a company-wide loss of $56 million for the quarter. They would have lost less money if they'd told their CEO to wipe his ass with thousand-dollar bills and locked him in an all-you-can-eat Indian buffet. It would have been a more dignified suicide if they'd performed seppuku with a banana and a kazoo soundtrack.
THQ tried to get into the shooter market with Homefront, and you'll only find worse opening moves in a Hellraiser movie. Shooting games are automatically racist. The basic mechanic has to be "anybody on the other side needs to be shot in the face." That's not necessarily a problem. Some games make up harmless imaginary aliens, while other games, like Call of Duty, teach players that anyone with a skin tone or second language has only two hobbies: atrocities and stupidly sticking their heads out of cover. This is the one and only subject in which Duke Nukem is progressive.
3D Realms
That bleeding heart liberal, with his bleeding head enemies.
Homefront turned this automatic racism dial up to 75 million filthy Koreans. It's so ludicrously gung-ho, it would make Red Dawn cheer for the minority characters. The Koreans in Homefront were responsible for more bloody agony than the Koreans in M*A*S*H, and were less sympathetically represented. The cities make City 17 look like Disney World. Koreans contravene the Geneva Conventions like there's an achievement for 100 percent completion. They violated more clauses than a horny reindeer. In the intro, you watch them breaking up families, beating innocent civilians, executing prisoners, and starting a work camp, all through a window both liberally and literally spattered with the blood of patriots.
Subtlety is for communists.
The only reason the video game Koreans don't bite the heads off puppies is because they put too much work into cutting their puppy eyelids off and making them stare at salt. The worst part is that the game clearly thinks it's serious. This could have been the ultimate parody -- Hot Shots: The Shooting unAmericans Game -- but it acts like God personally bled the red into the white and blue to defend America from filthy foreigners. Which is weird, because if he'd wanted to defend America from foreigners, he could have done it much easier with a few hurricanes around 1492. The game was so insanely violent, Rambo would have dropped his guns to give it a hug.

BSC Model U.N. member Amanda Smith, who served as Secretary General for the event, noted, "This conference benefited our students in many ways, including interaction with other students in the region and the opportunity to explore the world from an other-than-American perspective. BSC Model U.N. hopes this educational experience is one that the public school student participants will never forget. These students are tomorrow's leaders."
Smith, BSC Model U.N. Advisor John White, and 28 BSC Model U.N. team members coordinated the two-day competition. Fifty awards were presented to individuals and teams.

This is a weird answer – heart-wise, the greatest moments of my life have been times spent with family, friends, furbabies, rescuing furbabies, etc. Those are the greatest moments. All the simple pleasures. But in terms of how it's intended here, an "I'm on top of the world!" sort of moment… it would have to be the first time I sang the game-opening National Anthem for the Dodgers. I was 18, I had first dreamed of doing it when I was 16. It was one of those moments when, as you're achieving a wish, dream, or goal, that you experience a feeling of true possibility and magic, & feel a little bit invincible.ReplyCancel

1- the day I stood up for my self and told a guy I was not gonna continue being his booty call (let it happen twice only) and told him I was looking for a relationship and he was not it. He begged to change my mind! Felt so good to say no!
2- the day I met my husband.
3- the day I kicked my mother out of my house for disrespecting my husband (he was not even in the room), she finally got the message I was not her baby and should respect me as an adult.
Birth of my daughter, now age 20. I still remember it so clearly. I can even remember the first moment she looked straight into my eyes. A total miracle.ReplyCancel

Husband and kids of course but in hindsight I was raised in a ultra strict some what suffocating existence but got to go to Europe with my class when I was 16.

My first 69. I'll never forget the sunny afternoon in the upstairs of my friend's shore house, when I had my nose nuzzled up to a hairless 19y/o bunghole. So tender and pale, it was the same color as the buttcheeks. I was young and timid and afraid of the reaction licking it would result in, so I kept my tongue to the vagina and clitoris, while basking in its beauty and aroma. Thank the good lord baby jeebus that I jack off to much to make a BJ an easy job, so I got to appreciate it for quite some time that day.

@JackDucky – love your comment. I hope my oldest son feels the same one day.
Best moment of my life was the 1st night I stayed up with my baby boy ( 3 1/2 months old) who I adopted from Ethiopia. We were still in Ethiopia, and I remember sitting in the guest house, feeding, rocking & holding him and talking to him about all the amazing things he might do in his life.
Although he's currently in his room for being, well 4, he's a pretty extraordinary kid and I love him with all my heart.ReplyCancel
Thank you FreyaReplyCancel
Among others, watching my daughter test for, and be awarded, her blackbelt. She sparred with guys a foot taller than her with such great energy and confidence, I was awed. She has so much to be proud of. And she's a truly nice kid.ReplyCancel

Gasoline prices expected to keep droppingBy JONATHAN FAHEY
The Associated Press | September 29,2013Toby Talbot / AP Photos
A motorist fills up Friday in Montpelier, Vt. The average price for regular gas across the nation dropped 17 cents in September. Vermont prices are typically higher than the national average, which was $3.44 per gallon at the end of last week.Gasoline prices have fallen steadily throughout September, and drivers should look forward to even cheaper fill-ups in the weeks ahead.
The national average price for a gallon of gasoline is now $3.44, down from $3.59 on Sept. 1. The price is the lowest its been at this time of year since 2010 and is likely to keep falling.
Meanwhile, Vermonts average gas price at the end of last week was $3.63, with many stations selling in the $3.40s in the southern part of the state, according to VermontGasPrices.com.
Its a lay-up for me to predict lower prices until Columbus Day weekend, says Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at GasBuddy.com and Oil Price Information Service, which tracks retail and wholesale gasoline prices.
Wholesale gasoline prices have fallen faster in recent days than pump prices, so drivers can expect to pay even less as the pump prices catch up.
Gas prices tend to fall soon after Labor Day, but last year they didnt start dropping until mid-October. There are a few reasons for this falls decline in price, experts say:
Refiners can switch to cheaper blends of gasoline in the winter months as clean-air rules are relaxed.
Demand for gas declines in the fall after the summer driving season ends.
At the same time, supplies rise because refiners are still making gasoline as they keep operations humming to make heating oil for winter and diesel and jet fuel for shippers.
Refineries have been relatively problem-free compared with last year. No hurricanes, and few unexpected problems at refineries or pipelines.
Even relatively high oil prices havent stopped gasolines decline.
Oil briefly topped $112 in August as a U.S. threat of military action against Syria made the market nervous about supplies. Oil has fallen from those highs but stayed above $100 per barrel, yet gasoline has fallen to its lowest price since Jan. 31.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

The president of Upper Iowa University in Fayette is stepping down after going on sabbatical in the fall.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reported that university officials announced Wednesday that Alan Walker has resigned. Walker, who has led the school since 2004, has been on sabbatical since September.
Reasons for the sabbatical and the resignation have not been released.
Robert Firth, chairman of the Upper Iowa board of trustees, says the university increased enrollment and enhanced programs under Walker's leadership. Firth credited Walker for "the global university that is Upper Iowa today."
Officials say the university will embark on a national search to find a new president. A search committee will be comprised of students, faculty, staff, alumni and trustees.

Kenny Rogers: Not Just a Dirty Left Hand
I love it when the old timers show up at spring training. Decked out in jerseys that don't fit and pants that would be better off… well, off (and hopefully replaced by something baggy), seeing them throwing BP and shagging flies always gets me to smile.
So when I heard Kenny Rogers was in Tigers camp I quickly browsed the internets for proof. Though I was surprised to see Kenny has taken on the Prince Fielder diet (good grief, don't ex-baseballers know about portion control???), I was pleased to see that he still has that gruff go-EFF-yerself demeanor.
Too bad I couldn't find any recent pictures of his left hand. The last time I saw it, it was pissing me off.
I even searched the YouTubes to see if said hand was still up to its dirty tricks and this is what I found:
Bummer. Couldn't get a good look. Still, the Jack Daniels is a nice touch, especially for a spring training camp that includes Miguel Cabrera.
Hate me. It's all good. Just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

"Never met a wilderness she did like."
By Ruth Conniff and Nick Surgey
Grom Social, a new social media site for kids, is bursting with cuteness and commercial appeal—from the freckled 13-year-old listed as its founder, Zach Marks, to the cheerful cartoon characters on the site.
During a lunch-time presentation at Freedom Fest 2014 in Las Vegas, Zach's dad Darren explained that Grom not only allows kids to connect with friends and learn valuable lessons, it promotes a wholesome anti-bullying message and is safe, since parents monitor every click. But, best of all, according to Darren Marks, Grom is poised to cash in big by marketing products to children and parents alike, and by transforming public-education funds into profits for investors.
Walmart is in talks with Grom about advertising, the senior Marks told prospective investors in Las Vegas this month. And, the site will soon be pushing products using the subtly persuasive art of product placement and its cast of adorable cartoon avatar characters. Launched eighteen months ago, Grom has grown to more than a half million users. It is "an advertiser's dream," Darren Marks said in Las Vegas.
Grom's most significant partner to date is Florida Virtual Schools—the biggest provider of online classes in the nation.
Florida Virtual Schools (where Zach Marks and two of his siblings happen to be enrolled) has entered into a ten-year partnership with Grom to market a 3-D video game—newly launched on the Grom site this week—to teach math to fifth- through eighth-grade students. Students will be able to receive school credit after completing the game. The production costs, totaling $475,000, was paid entirely by Florida Virtual Schools, which will promote Grom to the 2.2 million children that use its services.
"This will be the first form of monitizing our company," Darren Marks told the rightwing crowd assembled in Vegas.
Florida Virtual Schools runs on public funds. It is fully funded through a line item in the Florida state budget. It receives additional public funds by charging local school districts when students enroll in online courses. It also sells its virtual wares to students outside the state for a $400 per semester fee.
But the big money, Darren Marks told prospective investors in his presentation, will come through merchandizing.
Teen star Kendall Schmidt has signed an exclusive contract with Grom to post a weekly column, he said, and will push Grom to his 3 million followers on Twitter and Facebook, for which he will be paid $100,000 a year, plus an "equity grant" based on performance.
MTV2 taped a segment on Grom and the Marks family for its show "Jobs that Don't Suck." And the Marks family appeared on Disney Interactive, Grom's investor materials reveal, at the Grom Pound—the family compound that includes Grom headquarters, a motocross track, a six-foot half-pipe, a quarter pipe, pool, and trampoline.
The family itself is a big part of the Grom sales pitch.
Each member is depicted by a cute avatar in the Grom prospectus.
Meet Zach's mom, "Sarah the trainer," a certified doula and childbirth educator, as well as a triathlete, personal trainer, and mother of six.
Zach's dad, Darren, is a former competitive body builder, competitive surfer, motocross rider, and entrepreneur.
Zach's siblings include his brother, "Luke the Surfer," his sister, Caroline, who won the U12 Girls United States Surfing Championships, six-year-old competitive surfer Dawson, and "Jack the Gamer," who dreams up games for the Grom site.
Even two-year-old Victoria is said to be "constantly talking about Grom," according to Grom's investor materials.
If Grom is successful, you may be seeing a lot more of the whole family, as they realize their dream of cashing in on education privatization.
Zach and Darren Marks came to the annual Freedom Fest conference seeking investors. Other exhibitors at the conference included the Charles Koch Institute, the Heritage Foundation, the Heartland Institute, and Americans For Prosperity.
Welcome to the brave new world of education privatization, where there is money to be made by cashing in on kids, and public funds used to pay for kids' education can be transformed into profits.

The beauty and the tragedy of everyday life in a war zone.

Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front
Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready made. Be afraid to know your neighbors and to die. And you will have a window in your head. Not even your future will be a mystery any more. Your mind will be punched in a card and shut away in a little drawer. When they want you to buy something they will call you. When they want you to die for profit they will let you know. So, friends, every day do something that won't compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it. Denounce the government and embrace the flag. Hope to live in that free republic for which it stands. Give your approval to all you cannot understand. Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed. Ask the questions that have no answers. Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias. Say that your main crop is the forest that you did not plant, that you will not live to harvest. Say that the leaves are harvested when they have rotted into the mold. Call that profit. Prophesy such returns. Put your faith in the two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years. Listen to carrion—put your ear close, and hear the faint chattering of the songs that are to come. Expect the end of the world. Laugh. Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. So long as women do not go cheap for power, please women more than men. Ask yourself: Will this satisfy a woman satisfied to bear a child? Will this disturb the sleep of a woman near to giving birth? Go with your love to the fields. Lie easy in the shade. Rest your head in her lap. Swear allegiance to what is nighest your thoughts. As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it. Leave it as a sign to mark the false trail, the way you didn't go. Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.

I've never thought to use oats in a savory dish, so this recipe immediately caught my eye. The headnote mentions that you can substitute bulgur, which maybe sounds like a more suitable dinner grain, but is actually quite similar to steel-cut oats. I opted for the oats and was pleasantly surprised by how well they fit in as a savory ingredient, with their nutty flavor and chewy texture. It makes a nice base for the sweet, vinegary sauce.
This one-pot dish comes together pretty quickly once you get it on the stove; separating and chopping the chard was probably the most time-consuming piece of the whole process, although I was happy to make use of both the stems and leaves. Browning the chicken thighs really deepens the flavor of the dish, which tastes best when eaten hot right away. Recipe from The Food Matters Cookbook.

Try one of these healthy options next time you're navigating the food court. By: Katherine Brooking MS, RD and Holley Grainger, MS, RD
Healthier Choices
Okay, let's face it. We all have to eat fast food once in a while. Whether you're stuck in an airport or dashing between errands, sometimes you have to make do with less-than-ideal choices when facing food-court options. If you're not careful, it's easy to consume tons of unnecessary calories with little nutritional value.Navigating the food court (or drive-thru) doesn't have to be a nutrition disaster. A little knowledge goes a long way in choosing the best options. Here are our dietitian-approved choices at several popular fast food chains.


text: My LO is almost 17 months old and we still bf at naps/bedtime. Lately I've been having trouble getting her to unlatch. She sleeps in her own crib and I usually rock her/nurse her about 10 minutes and then she falls asleep in her crib. However, now she's been refusing to unlatch and she's holding me there hostage. When I tell her it's time for night night, she shakes her head no (with my nipple still in her mouth) and refuses to release me. She's got teeth too so I can't just pull it out of her mouth. Eventually she'll let me go but I'd like to be the one that tells her when it's time for sleep and not the other way around. Any suggestions?

State Water Resources Research Institute Program
Project ID: 2006NH60B
Title: Water Quality Change-Effects of Development in Selected Watersheds
Project Type: Research
Start Date: 3/01/2009
End Date: 2/28/2010
Congressional District: NH01
Focus Categories: Non Point Pollution, Nutrients, Surface Water
Keywords: lake, stream, groundwater, nutrients, land use
Principal Investigator: Schloss, Jeffrey (University of New Hampshire)
Federal Funds: $ 5,000
Non-Federal Matching Funds: $ 18,584
Abstract: The proposed investigation would allow for the improvement of predictive models used for watershed planning and management for both inland lake watersheds (where phosphorus is the concern) as well as costal and river watersheds (where nitrogen is a concern). The benefits of this are wide ranging from assisting watershed stewardship education efforts throughout the state and region to providing existing watershed based programs like the EPA Basins Model Initiative, the statewide 303d listing process (under the federal Clean Water Action Program) as well as regional and state initiatives (US EPA Region 1 and NE states) to develop total daily maximum loading criteria (TMDLs) and nutrient criteria for lakes, rivers and streams. In addition we expect the data to also be useful in attempts to use the regionally developed USGS SPARROW model with greater resolution in terms of scale. The project will also complement current efforts underway to predict receiving water response to nutrient loading for source water protection planning. In addition the work will provide additional data to include in our submissions to EPA's new STORET and for use in our ongoing collaborative web based water quality data distribution project between UNH and the NH Department of Environmental Services. The study is also consistent with ongoing studies undertaken by the UNH WRRC program to document land use change impacts on nutrients in surface water and groundwater.

Celebrate the season with these 20-minute recipes using the freshest produce.
Haricots Verts and Grape Tomato Salad with Crème Fraîche Dressing
This dish turns your table into a fancy French bistro, but it requires exactly two minutes of cooking. Seek out real crème fraîche―it's thicker and a bit less tangy than sour cream―though sour cream will do in a pinch. This dressing is excellent on any kind of salad, and you can leave out the shallots to use it on fruit salads, too, especially those with melon.

I've been watching the Knicks since the 1980s. Was a huge fan in the 1990s.
This team is better than the 1990s teams. Not saying they will have more success, but they are far better built. They have gotten the right players to surround their superstar, something the 1990s teams never did for Ewing.

For years, a measure that would enhance penalties for public officials who are convicted felons couldn't even get a hearing in the Capitol. And when it was heard, it never cleared a single committee.
Wednesday morning, however the bill (SB 141) got a nod from the Senate Rules Committee and was sent to the Judiciary Committee for consideration.
It would allow a court to ratchet up the sentence of convicted felon officials and impose a fine equal to up to the official's salary and benefits.
Senate Minority Whip Bill Payne, R-Albuquerque, who is carrying the measure, said the atmosphere surrounding ethics has changed.
"We have more convictions, more talks of investigations ongoing," he said.
Payne said the bill might give some would-be criminals pause if they face paying large fines.
"Public officials who violate the public trust while receiving a salary from taxpayers should receive a greater punishment than just the basic sentence," he said. "Being fined the amount of their salary and benefits might make these corrupt officials think twice about violating corruption laws."
The committee also heard but set aside until Friday a measure (SB 261) that would eliminate pensions for convicted felons.
Sen. Sue Wilson Beffort, R-Sandia Park, the bill's sponsor, said this is the year to pass some ethics bills.
"I think the public expects that we do something significant that is throughout that is righteous," she said.
The measure could have prevented two famous state politicians from collecting pensions, had it been in place during a pair of recent scandals.
Former state treasurer Robert Vigil gets $4,455 a month in state pension while former Sen. Manny Aragon gets $2,022, according to the Public Employees Retiree Association.
The measure is expected to come back up for consideration Friday morning in the Rules Committee, as is a slew of other ethics measures.
Among other things, the panel is considering measures to prohibit former lawmakers from becoming lobbyists (SB94) for a year after serving in the Roundhouse; to limit political campaign contributions (SB116) and to require biannual campaign reports (SB128).
The meeting is set for 8 a.m. in room 321.
Ethics reform is a big topic this session and Gov. Bill Richardson and Lt. Gov. Diane Denish have outlined ethics packages they are supporting.

Breast cancer has a new opponent -- five-time Mixed Martial Arts World Champion Egan Inoue.
These days, he's retired from the ring. But, his new foe has him back training after breast cancer took a shot at his wife.
Click here to watch Brenton Awa's report.
"She had a part removed out of her. It was cancerous," said Inoue.
That's when he stepped in, but he knew preparing for this battle would take a lot more time than any of his past fight camps.
"Breast cancer -- you're fighting for your fighting for your life. So, I think it's even one step tougher," said Inoue.
And that's why he's got a small army with him. It's called Bootcamp for Boobies. The training's open to anyone every Saturday in October.
"We're all in. Everyone here is all in," said Richard Waialeale.
Participants push, pull, even crawl for the cause. The training's tough, but worth it.
"It's gotta be tougher because we're talking about life," said Waialeale.
"You never know if you're going to get cancer, but exercise before is prevention and exercise after is maintenance," said Inoue.
The bootcamp's been at it for three years at Ala Moana Beach. Funds raised this month will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
The camp's always looking for new supporters. It already has about 50 regular participants.
"They're here and everybody's focused on breaking through that quitting point," said Waialeale. "But, they're here and that's the main things. They're here, they're survivors and they're just living everyday of their life."
For some, the battle's just beginning. Others have overcome the early rounds.
But, like in any fight, anything can happen at any time. Making preparations -- that's more important.
"I would say it's like in the middle of the round, because it's not really in the middle of it. It's not really in the end because we hope we never really get to the end. You never know right? It's just being in shape and fighting and being strong the whole way," said Inoue.

Vermont artist Janet McKenzie has committed her life's work to creating paintings that celebrate all people, particularly African Americans and women. In 1999 her painting Jesus of the People won the National Catholic Reporters competition for a new image of Jesus. McKenzie subsequently received worldwide attention, both negative and positive, for her unconventional interpretation. Jesus of the People and 12 other works by McKenzie will be included in the exhibition Holiness and the Feminine Spirit: Paintings by Janet McKenzie. The title of the exhibition comes from a recently published book Holiness and the Feminine Spirit: The Art of Janet McKenzie (Maryknoll, NY: Orbis Books, 2009), featuring reflections on McKenzies work by 28 well known writers including; Joyce Rupp, Joan Chittister, and Diane Butler Bass, theologian Elizabeth A. Johnson, art critic Sr. Wendy Beckett, best-selling novelist Ann Patchett, social activist and writer Helen Prejean, feminist Chung Hyun Kyung, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori of the American Episcopal Church, racial justice advocate Anita Baird, and others. Essays from the book will be presented in the exhibition alongside the corresponding paintings.
Two of McKenzies paintings (Jesus of the People and Epiphany), recreated in stained glass by Oakbrook Esser Studios of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, will be included in the exhibition Let There be Light: Stained Glass and Drawings from the Collection of Oakbrook Esser Studios, which will be on view simultaneously with the McKenzie exhibition.
This exhibition and related programs are made possible through funding from the Marquette University Andrew W. Mellon Fund and the Emmett J. Doerr Endowment Fund.
