anybody think Amare woulda made the difference to pull out a win tonight?
Zach Randolph > Amar'e Stoudemire
The Knicks would be the favorite to win it all if they still had Zbo playing PF for them instead of Amar'e. One of the biggest mistakes that Donnie Walsh made was giving Zbo away to the Clippers for nothing.
Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.
anybody think Amare woulda made the difference to pull out a win tonight?
"I'm more concern how Melo is gonna play with Lin" Joe Budden
amare at the 4 vs zbo? not sure if want...
I don't think Amare on Zach can't be worse than Mello on Gasol. On the other side he could have kept us in the game when Mello was on the bench in the 3rd.
anyone know when amare is set to come back? i heard christmas day...anyone know for sure?
I hope Amar'e comes back on Christmas and impresses the Lakers so much that they trade Gasol for him.
Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.
ok hypothetical for all you guys cause I don't want to make a damn thread for a trade proposal....
Say philly comes to the knicks and says they will trade bynums expiring contract for Amare straight up as a way for them to save face for bynum basically missing the season and wanting a max when he is done.
Do you do it to get a chance at Josh Smith? If not what if Philly throws in a future first rounder in the deal?
I admit this is a gamble though, Amare will likely be needed to go for a championship this year though on the flip he may not add enough to make that happen regardless. Also J Smoove could come over for 16 million allowing the knicks to save some money avoid the cap.
a starting lineup Next year of
Brewer (who I assume stays for the mini MLE)
Josh Smith (his natural position)
JR Smith (who I assumes stays for that Bird Rights money)
The defense would give the whole league that work....

Josh Smith and Mike Woodson aren't the best of friends and I'd rather get Paul Millsap who can defend wings and still help us attack the glass and Sap can hit the outside jumper
Amare should come off the bench. Melo at the 4 is whats gonna get us the most wins.
Pretty good 3 coming off the bench. But one can only dream since Amare would never take a bench role.
Yeah, false alarm, saw the pic right after i made the post.
There def missing another reliable go to scorer especially since Woodson insist on playing iso ball

My son is 9 months old and has been crabby the last 3 days. I thought it was just teething (he is getting 4 teeth right now) but I took him to the doctor and it was a double ear infection. So yesterday and today he would not nurse at all.
I'm very concerned because I cannot get any milk out with a pump. I have an electric on and a hand held one. I sat and expressed milk by myself and got an ounce but I can't do that enough to keep my supply.
How long do I have to get him back to nursing before my milk is gone?! I have 2 older boys that i nursed 12months+ and i'm worried my lil guy is stopping now at 9months because of his terrible teething and ear infection

Bellaire Safety
Background checks for village employees.
You would think that would be a given when you are speaking of people in a position of public safety and trust.
Well I can sadly inform you that are not the case in Bellaire, Ohio.
While I am not going to mention names on this letter to the editor, hiring by the village departments has many local people concerned.
I am, personally, all in for second chances, normally. However, hiring people with extensive criminal records to key positions within the village Government is asking for liability issues.
I would ask yourself this question, then back it up with a call to the Mayor's office;
"Do you feel safe having people with extensive criminal records working for a village Govt., especially someone in a position where a slight mistake could cause harm to so many people?"
I am NOT trying to start a panic, but I am willing to put myself above the "uncaring curve" which seems to be infecting our people here.
It is better to be safe than sorry.

To be fair if the Dr is wanting an open salary cap that's the way I see it going if he gets his wish. You then will have Leeds.saints.wigan.wire.hudds.salford and maybe bulls and the 2 hull teams. So that's 9 teams for SL1 in an open salary cap comp but who would be the other team to make it 10? Catalans maybe? Then you can have SL2 with the salary cap it is at now in SL and the team that wins SL2 as the option of going up or not. I think that would work personally and it would make 2 great comps IMO.
I don't know what other fans think of this idea but I think it would improve our game no end.

Herbicide-resistant weeds have continued to spread from the southern Corn Belt to northern states, including Minnesota and North Dakota. Now, multiple herbicide resistance weeds are being identified, which compounds the problem.
Weed resistance issues were top of mind for many farmers attending the 2012 Commodity Classic held last week in Nashville, Tenn. The media heard plenty about it at a couple pre-conference events.
University of Tennessee's Larry Steckel spoke to media at a Bayer CropScience event about the glyphosate-resistant weed problems in his area.
"On June 21, 2011, I got a lot of calls that day – 80," reported Steckel. "Most of the calls were about resistant Palmer pigweed and that's when it dawned on me just how big of an issue this has become."
He said growers can manage resistant Palmer pigweed if it is sprayed at 2 in. in height. But just 24 hours later when pigweed is 4 in. tall, glyphosate will control only 75% of the weed population. With only 75% control, farmers will not be able to combine the fields.
Later, a farmer at the event said he has heard of landlords losing their renters because of severe weed resistance in the fields. Land also has been sold at a discounted price if there are heavy populations of resistant pigweed on it.
If growers from the northern states think they are safe from the weed resistance issues, they need to think again. Jeff Stachler, extension weed specialist in Minnesota and North Dakota, has documented a serious spread of resistant weeds through these northern growing areas. Speaking at a BASF media event, he saidsome hot spots have resistant weeds in 75 to 90% of the fields. Resistant weeds include common ragweed, giant ragweed and waterhemp.
"We certainly had a big issue in 2011," Stachler reported. "But that's nothing. The real game changer is multiple resistance, which is resistance to more than just one mode-of-action herbicide."
In fact, he says they may have identified ragweed and waterhemp with three-way resistance in Minnesota and North Dakota. The resistance is to glyphosate, ALS inhibiting and PPO inhibitor herbicides.

ASCC's slow registration frustrates parents, students
Students and parents alike are upset with this year's slow registration process at the American Samoa Community College.
Registration for new students was on Aug. 15 and the following day was for returning students.
Students started showing up on Tuesday night, Wednesday morning before 2am to be in line, according to the parents, who say that some students waited in line for more than 12 hours just to get registered.
Parents who contacted Samoa News were upset with the inconsiderate college staff who told students who were unable to complete their registration on Thursday to return yesterday (Friday) morning only to find out "there was a staff meeting" so the students had to return at 12-noon instead.
"This is so inconsiderate of the college. How about students who live further away and have to come back again. How about the students from low income families, with limited money and have to go back and forth to the college just to get registered," said parent Judy Taufete'e.
"There has got to be a better registration process than this," said another parent, who arrived at the ASCC campus at 1am Thursday morning to find many students already lined up outside the registration office.
Yet another parent, who did not wish to be identified said, "Is there a better way registration at the college can be done? Online registration? But that requires the students to actually go to the college and use the college computers to register... even that method is chaotic!"
Taufete'e said that when she took her niece to the ASCC campus at 3am on Aug 16 there were already "so many students on campus already…"
"This is the only college in the territory and there has to be another way to have this slow registration process expedited," she yesterday morning via cell phone from the ASCC campus. "As the only college in American Samoa, ASCC should have done the registration process this whole week especially with the enrollment at ASCC going up every year."
Taufete'e was also disappointed with ASCC's lack of accessibility for students like her daughter with special needs. "The enrollment counter is not accessible to students with special needs. The counter is too high up , making it difficult for a student - like my daughter - in a wheelchair to reach the counter," she said.
An ASCC student took photos of the long lines and students camping out at night and gave it to his mother, who distributed the photos to the news media. Some photos show students at night waiting on campus, other photos show students standing in the long line at day-break.
Samoa News also heard from students who waited in line for hours and were disappointed with the registration process. A student confirmed that one actually had to be at ASCC to enroll online.
At least two students from the Eastern District said they got to ASCC at around 3am Thursday and already so many students were there trying to get a spot in line. "It has been a long registration process," said one student.
ASCC officials did not officially respond to complaints over this year's registration while students called their parents, friends and local news media to complain. Some of them took their frustrations on line to the social media sites posting messages about their frustrations with the registration process.

Listing dangerously
John: Mearsheimer, the new darling of the We Don't Hate Jews, We Hate Zionists Society of Jew Haters,: explains his Selekzion process and proves he's not a Nazi. : Unlike them, he says there: are some Good Jews:
American Jews who care deeply about Israel can be divided into three broad categories.: The first two are what I call "righteous Jews" and the "new Afrikaners," which are clearly definable groups that think about Israel and where it is headed in fundamentally different ways. : The third and largest group is . . . the "great ambivalent middle.". . .
To give you a better sense of what I mean when I use the term righteous Jews, let me give you some names of people and organizations that I would put in this category. The list would include Noam Chomsky, Roger Cohen, Richard Falk, Norman Finkelstein, Tony Judt, Tony Karon, Naomi Klein, MJ Rosenberg, Sara Roy, and Philip Weiss of Mondoweiss fame, just to name a few. I would also include many of the individuals associated with J Street and everyone associated with Jewish Voice for Peace, as well as distinguished international figures such as Judge Richard Goldstone. Furthermore, I would apply the label to the many American Jews who work for different human rights organizations, such as Kenneth Roth of Human Rights Watch.
On the other side we have the new Afrikaners, who will support Israel even if it is an apartheid state. . . . The new Afrikaners will of course try to come up with clever arguments to convince themselves and others that Israel is really not an apartheid state, and that those who say it is are anti-Semites.
It's that "cleverness" you have to watch out for. : Those "Afrikaner Jews." : Those Nazi Jews. : Huh. : "And they call me a Nazi!"
David Bernstein, the source of this link (via Instapundit), notes:
It's almost quaint to note Mearsheimer's: protestation back in 2006: "I don't have an agenda in the sense of viewing myself as: proselytizing or trying to sell this," Mearsheimer told the: Forward. : "I: am a scholar, not an activist, and I am reticent to take questions from: the media because I do believe that this is a subject that has to be approached very carefully."
Maybe the tip-off about the quality of this "scholar" was his use of the word "reticent" for "reluctant"? Then again, that could have been the: Forward's error.
The fact is, he's almost certainly been sucked up into a world he never made—the love-fest available to anyone "legit" who can cloak antisemitism as principled opposition to the State of Israel (yes, I acknowledge the difference, and there certainly is one). He probably didn't intend to play this role, but becoming a celebrity, well, it must be very pleasant for a previously obscure area studies professor, no?

Joan Clayton: Religion Columnist
"I really wanted this shoe leather on my boots," he grumbled. That ruffled my feathers.
My husband could have said, "You really cooked this piece of ham well." Helping him work in the yard was his fault! I thought. When I saw him sharpen a cutting knife and then attack that piece of ham like a chain saw, I couldn't help but laugh.
It's hard for me to deal with criticism. Keeping my cool when criticized is emotionally draining. OK, so I left the ham in the oven too long.
"Let's not waste it. Go ahead and tack it on your boot!" Now he laughed.
I've discovered flaws I find in others are flaws I see in myself. I asked God one time to let me see my flaws and I didn't pray that prayer again. What I saw brought a profound realization of "the beam in my own eye." (Luke 6:42) Since that time I have tried to learn from criticism but if I become defensive, things gets out of control and I become upset. It's much better to keep quiet than to retaliate. A fire started is hard to put out!
In Matthew 7:1-2 Jesus tells us to look within ourselves instead of criticizing others. Looking at my own faults motivates me to forgive others and overlook their offenses. Besides if I send out criticism, it returns to me. "If I give it, I receive it."
By trying to consider criticism as a kindness, (hard for me to do) I can learn something. Emmitt's comment about "shoe leather" helped me to learn to cook. Instead of a snappy, curt reply that hurts feelings, listening to others can be a path of wisdom.
Criticism comes in many forms. Reacting to it in the wrong way brings defeat.
King David's faith in God allowed him to ignore the critical words and jeers from the crowd. He knew his God. His overwhelming trust in God enabled him to
perform amazing exploits. When people criticized and found fault in him, David "encouraged himself in the LORD his God." (1 Samuel 30:6 KJV).
We have the "sword of the Spirit," God's Word, and "a soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger" (Proverbs 15:1 KJV).
Critical words can follow a path to peace or a continual strife. The wrong kinds of words take away our joy and zest for living, leading to depression and anxiety. Words have power, power to hurt or power to heal. Kind words promote a cheerful outlook.
Optimism looks upon difficulties as challenges, an opportunity for God to show himself strong.
Critical comments can be dangerous. Miriam complained about Moses' wife and was stricken with leprosy. (Numbers 12:10) Korah and his followers led the people to rebel against God and as a result the earth swallowed them and their families. (Numbers 16:32) Michal remained childless because she despised David's dancing before the Lord. (1 Chronicles 15:29). Some boys came out of the city and made fun of Elisha and "two mother bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys to pieces" 2 Kings 2:24 (NCV).
When negative, critical comments come your way, do what is right anyway. God's opinion of you is all that matters. "He (Jesus) never sinned, never told a lie, never answered back when insulted, when he suffered he did not threaten to get even, he left his case in the hands of God who always judges fairly" (1 Peter 2:22-23 TLB).
We can avoid destructive criticism. Overlook offenses. Getting even pays a high price. Simply forgive and leave the rest to God.
Love enables us to see the good in others, thereby blocking critical remarks and cynicism.
That's a lot better than calling my cooking "shoe leather!"

Spirit of fun
redwhite+bluezz brings cool jazz and great food to a hot night (or day) out
By Erica Wayne 06/23/2011
Well, we're less than two weeks from the Fourth of July. It should be a celebratory time, but when I think of red, white and blue, it's less the flag and more the red ink of the deficit, the white knuckles as I contemplate our seemingly endless recession and the blue I feel whenever I dwell upon the effects on friends and family.
But there's a temporary antidote whose name is particularly easy to remember around Independence Day. It's redwhite+bluezz, Pasadena's great jazz club, excellent wine bar and marvelous restaurant. It's a wonderful place to spend an escapist evening listening to cool, hot music and enjoying cool, hot food as well.
As the promise of sizzling sidewalks and 90-plus temps of mid-summer Pasadena nears, you can chill out at RWB with cool summer blues and hot summer whites. The former — a lineup of fine jazz performers who play seven days a week; the latter — one of several "wine flights" (three-vintage samplers) that can be paired with cheese and/or charcuterie and/or chocolate flights. You don't have to upgrade to get the perks at RWB; and, unlike airlines, they never lose your luggage.
Some non-flight items at RWB seem deceptively simple: e.g., (Snake River Farms Kobe) beef burger with (30-month Grafton cheddar) cheese, applewood bacon, crispy onion strings, house-made barbecue sauce and a side of sweet potato fries ($19). Others, such as sugarcane grilled scallops with soba noodles, sautéed peapods, carrot shavings, onion, cilantro, miso and sweet yuzu soy sauce ($27) or Shelton's free-range chicken with creamed fingerling potatoes, baby seasonal vegetables and Godiva white chocolate beurre blanc ($19) would do a Spago menu proud.
The dishes, from starters to desserts, are prettily presented. But nice crockery, Technicolor garnishes and the subtle melding of flavors doesn't substitute for nourishment. At RWB plates are piled high — enough to keep even the manliest customers busy throughout one or two sets of entertainment. The only trouble: you have to keep putting down utensils to clap.
A few days back, my mate and I decided to forego the show and try RWB's extended Happy Hour Eats (1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday). Alcoholic beverages are available at reduced prices (a bargain, except we had miles to go, etc. and couldn't partake), and so is the food. We opted to share an order of crispy mac n' cheese ($6), a barbecue burger ($12) and Speyside butterscotch pudding spiked with Glenlivet ($6).
RWB's mac 'n cheese is one of those creations that sings to me from afar. The menu annotation ("signature cheese blend, frosted flake panko crust, sharp cheddar béchamel") doesn't begin to capture how idiosyncratic and delicious this dish is (a series of golden brown triangles, crisp outside, molten inside, crunchy, buttery, peppery, in a word, magnificent!).
Our burger, 10 ounces of charred, rare, incredibly juicy beef topped with bacon, onions and cheddar on a toasted buttery brioche bun, is also pure heaven and more than enough for both of us. The excellent barbecue sauce has plenty of fire but no smoke. Instead of sweet potato fries alone, we ask for a mix of those and the garlic fries they also feature. We can't decide which we like better and eat them all.
Now, about the pudding — I have one teensy complaint. It's topped with chantilly crème, shaved chocolate and fleur de sel. This premium sea salt is all the rage right now, especially as a garnish for sweets. Caramels are rolled in it; brownies and shortbread are sprinkled with it. Aficionados dash it onto peanut butter sandwiches, hot fudge sundaes and (probably) jelly doughnuts. But our dessert was a victim of too much of a good thing. Hey, RWB, watch that shaker!
If you believe in ghosts, you know the northeast corner of South Raymond Avenue and Green Street is haunted. No less than six restaurants have died slow, painful deaths on the premises. (Actually, in Funnies' case, it was a mercifully quick suicide.) One would surmise that the spirits of the deceased, protoplasmic or auricular, must surely hover somewhere, harboring ill-will and wishing the same fate to any successor.
Undaunted by this threat from predecessors' phantasmagorical hands, redwhite+bluezz set up shop equipped with a formidable array of weapons. Unlike the earlier inhabitants, RWB is multi-dimensional, and all the dimensions are good. Result: the whole is even better than the sum of its excellent parts, and there's no sign its popularity or quality is waning as it enjoys its fifth year.
Take, for instance, the care in choosing the wines, cheeses, pairings, flights, musicians (who play every night and Sunday brunch-time), and the quality of the service. And the full bar offering a bunch of "Dizzy's Drinks" like the (honest!) Ella Fizz-gerald, with champagne, peach nectar and blood orange bitters, and the Chuck Berry (you know this one has to have blueberry liqueur, don't you?). And the wine-tasting ("Flight School") classes.
Despite the prior deaths that haunt this site, it's obvious there's nary a chance of yet another unhappy spirit joining those already on the premises. After a half-decade, RWB has so maintained and augmented the high quality of its food, drink and entertainment that those malevolent predecessors will have to show a lot more strength than they did in life to truncate the success of this amazing venture.

Some pieces of steel from the World Trade Center didn't need any work to be reused. Such was the case with the World Trade Center Cross, a group of steel beams found amid the World Trade Center debris that resembles a Christian cross.
The cross was discovered in the debris on Sept. 13, 2001, and eventually erected on a pedestal and moved to a nearby plaza overlooking the site's cleanup and reconstruction.
During construction of a new subway station and office tower at the site, the cross was moved to St. Peter's Church, which faces the World Trade Center site, on Oct. 5, 2006.
The cross was returned to the World Trade Center site in late July to be installed as a permanent exhibit in the National September 11th Memorial and Museum.

While we would prefer that Congressman Paul Ryan use his considerable influence and popularity to publically lead on the issue of immigration reform, we appreciate his apparent behind the scenes efforts in supporting comprehensive immigration legislation.
The Washington Post is reporting today that Ryan is working "behind the scenes," to encourage support for a bill that most very conservative and Tea Party Republicans abhor and have pledged to oppose every step of the way. Ryan is among more veteran GOP leaders who support immigration reform. But unlike some, who support reform to improve the Party's standing among Hispanic voters, Ryan's motivation comes from his belief the US economy depends on immigrant workers and, more importantly, that "we cannot have a permanent underclass of Americans exploited in America."
Of course we already have such an underclass of Americans trapped in low-paying, benefit-less jobs, neither Republicans nor Democrats have done very much to help. But we trust Ryan on immigration reform, and we respect his efforts.

Amare, Felton, and one or more of Chandler/Gallo/Fields would be the overall players better than Melo if he came.
I'm assuming he meant their games, or skill sets, are more diverse and rounded than Melos. Which may be true, but a lot of bench players n backups would also be superior in this way. Don't think it means that all them actually impact the game or their teams in a more impactful/ better way.
If that were the case itd be declaring trading any of them straight up for Melo wouldn't be worth it.

North Central College's forensics team is building on last year's successful finish in national competition with a strong start this year.
"We're entering a new season with brand new events, and already the forensic team is continuing to demonstrate a strong record of competitive success," says John Stanley, assistant professor of speech communication, assistant director of forensics and director of individual events.
On Sept. 10, history and speech communication major David DePino '13 attended a tournament at the University of Indianapolis and placed third in Informative Speaking and sixth in Impromptu Speaking.
Stanley invites all students of any major to join the team meetings on Tuesdays at 4 p.m. in Goldspohn Hall, room 20. "Students don't need prior experience in order to compete for North Central's forensic team," he says.
North Central's team is planning its annual Forensics Reunion—including past, current and new members—starting at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24, in the Pfeiffer Hall lobby. A dinner will follow at 5 p.m. in the White Activities Center. For more information contact Stanley at firstname.lastname@example.com.
A final national event from last season's team effort took place April 14-18 at the National Forensic Association Individual Event tournament. Overall, North Central College's team placed fourth in the country in the President's Division II, which was the largest division at the national tournament. June 2011 graduate Nicole Autry placed seventh in the nation out of 200 students in Persuasive Speaking, William Miller '12 placed 20th in the nation out of 200 students in Persuasive Speaking and sixth in the nation out of 90 in Editorial Impromptu, and DePino placed 10th in the nation out of 182 students in Informative Speaking and 20th in the nation out of 225 students in Impromptu Speaking.
During forensics competitions, teams are placed in different divisions based on the size of their entry for team awards. Students qualify over the season, from September through April, to reach nationals and once there, they compete against everyone, no matter how large or small a team. As a result, says Stanley, "It's quite an accomplishment when our students place. They are literally competing against those who have qualified from all across the country. They are competing with the best of the best in the nation."

#1 Bradley Manning Was Tortured, Says Ron Paul08-24-2013, 10:07 PM

Army Private Bradley Manning, sentenced earlier this week to 35 years in prison for the biggest breach of classified documents in U.S. history, was tortured, by the U.S., former Republican congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul appeared to allege on Thursday.
Paul, a libertarian firebrand known for making several attempts at the presidency, made the comments in a Reddit ask me anything session on Thursday where he advocated for the release of Manning from prison.
He has been in prison for over 3 years as well as tortured, Paul said, adding I think he should be released now.

Having some familiarity with military justice, I can safely say the only reason he would have been in jail for more than four months between charges being filed to his arraignment is because he and his lawyers asked for delays amounting to about two years and eight months.

A carbon taxFebruary 19,2013
Controversy over the Keystone XL pipeline is emblematic of the challenges facing those confronting the problem of climate change.
About 35,000 people gathered in Washington, D.C., on Sunday to call attention to the climate crisis and to urge President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry to reject the pipeline. Because the pipeline would cross the border between the United States and Canada on its way from Alberta to Texas, it requires approval from the U.S. government.
Scientists and environmentalists, notably Bill McKibben of Ripton, say that the oil contained in the tar sands of Alberta is the largest deposit on earth after Saudi Arabia and that burning it would be game over for climate change. Ultimately, their position is that a huge reserve of Canadian oil ought to be left in the ground for the sake of the planet.
Vermonters have taken an interest in the tar sands issue, in part because oil companies may use a pipeline that already exists in northern Vermont to ship tar sands oil from Montreal to Portland, Maine. Environmentalists have raised concerns about possible spills, as they had in Nebraska in connection with the Keystone pipeline. The more fundamental case is that the tar sands oil should not be shipped anywhere at all.
Those making that case must confront some large numbers. Already the United States imports about 2.4 million barrels of oil a day from Canada about twice as much as from Saudi Arabia. Supporters of the pipeline say that development of North American sources has major national security benefits. The Keystone pipeline would increase imports from Canada by about 700,000 barrels a day. That is about two-thirds the amount imported from Venezuela, another unreliable source.
Canada and the oil companies have a huge financial stake in the Alberta oil. So do labor unions. Oil production in Alberta accounts for about 75,000 jobs in Canada, and the pipeline would create about 30,000 jobs in the United States.
Against all the money connected to this project, those concerned about climate change have an argument. It is based on a long-range view of the planet and its prospects. Of course, the reality of climate change is not merely prospective; it is already upon us, causing billions of dollars of damage and dislocating people from Australia to Staten Island to the narrow mountain valleys of Vermont.
It has long been argued that one of the best ways to attack the climate problem is to impose a carbon tax to make oil, gas and coal expensive enough that its use is discouraged and other sources are developed. Politically, this has been a hard sell. Few politicians relish the idea of going before voters and promising to raise the price of gasoline.
Another way to impose a carbon tax is to make the development of oil more difficult by putting roadblocks in the way of the fossil fuel business. Canada can be expected to proceed with its tar sands project, but those concerned about the climate can do what they can to make the sale and export of Canadian oil difficult. It remains to be seen whether the Obama administration is interested in butting heads with the government of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, but ultimately, people will have to take on the oil industry and its friends.
Thats why McKibben and others are supporting another initiative urging the divestment of fossil fuel company stocks by institutional investors. The profitability of oil production must be reduced in order to curtail the continuing production of climate-changing emissions. That is the hard nut of the climate problem.
On Sunday protesters in Washington, San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle and Los Angeles sought to send a message to Obama, who had raised hopes in his Inaugural Address that in his second term he would take climate change seriously. They were presenting the president with a stark choice and hoping he would make good on his promises. Tar sands oil is going to be developed. What the United States can do is to put an indirect carbon tax on the project by making life more difficult for Canada and the oil companies.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

Post Tenure Review
The USU Policy Manual (405.12.2) requires that each tenured faculty member will be reviewed every five years. Based on consultation with the deans, the following procedures are suggested for this process:
1. To start the process, 20% of professors in each college will be reviewed each year, starting with those who have been at the rank of professor the longest, and continuing until all have undergone post tenure review. At the same time, 20% of associate professors in each college who have been at the associate level for at least five years will be reviewed each year, starting with those who have been associate professors the longest, and continuing until all have either undergone review or have been promoted to professor.
2. The Policy Manual specifies that the post tenure review committee shall consist of "at least three tenured faculty members who hold rank equal to or greater than the faculty member being reviewed. The committee shall be appointed by the department head or supervisor in consultation with the faculty member and the director (where applicable), dean, or vice president and shall include at least one member from outside the academic unit. Department heads and supervisors shall not serve on this committee."405.12.2
3. The individual to be reviewed will prepare and provide to the review committee a file consisting of:
- role statement
- vita
- course evaluations for the last five years and any peer evaluations of teaching that has been conducted
- department head's summary of recent annual reviews
- any other information deemed necessary by the faculty member to facilitate a fair evaluation
4. The review committee will make an overall assessment of the individual's performance and also provide comments. As specified in the Policy Manual (405.12.2), the standard for appraisal shall be: whether the faculty member under review discharges conscientiously and with professional competence the duties appropriately associated with his or her position as specified in the role statement.... The review will be disciplined and role specific, as appropriate to evaluate: 1) teaching, through student, collegial, and administrative assessment; 2) the quality of scholarly and creative performance and/or research productivity; and 3) service to the profession, the University, and the community." It should be noted that this section of the Policy Manual explicitly states: "The criteria for the award of tenure or promotion to the most senior ranks shall not be employed for the review of the tenured faculty."
5. The committee's report will be sent to the department head who will forward a copy to the dean and to the faculty member. As a result of information received during the post tenure review process, the department head may initiate the negotiation of a professional development plan in accordance with the procedures in the Policy Manual (405.12.3) or take other actions deemed necessary.
6. Deans, department heads, and other full time administrators will be reviewed every five years as administrators and do not fall under this policy.

Six Reasons Not To Trade Kevin Kouzmanoff
"NO! Don't trade me!"
There are a lot of trade rumors going around Kevin Kouzmanoff today, and I'm a little freaked out. If you're a reader of this blog, you know that Kouz is my absolute favorite player on the Padres and in the majors. There is no player in all of baseball that I like more than Kouz. And I would pretty much go into major depression if the Padres traded him away. In the past year, we've lost two major players, Trevor Hoffman and Jake Peavy. And let me tell you, that grief that I went through would be nothing, absolutely nothing compared to the kind of grief that I would have if they trade Kouz. We don't even want to go there.
And so, I give you six reasons not to trade Kevin Kouzmanoff.
1. He's a great third baseman.
Say what you want about the merits of Ryan Zimmerman, but I believe that Kevin Kouzmanoff was right up there with him in the Gold Glove catergory. He had a .990 fielding percentage for goodness sakes! Sure, maybe his range isn't the greatest, but he gets to many, many almost impossible balls. He's only been in the majors for three years, but he's improved on his defense drastically. He was not that great at all in his first year, but here he was, contending for a Gold Glove. I believe that he will only improve. Sure, we've got Chase Headley and lots of third basemen in the system, but why not stick with Kouz? He's an amazing defending, and all of the fans love to watch him.
Again, he may not be the best, but he's still very good. He was second only to Adrian Gonzalez in RBIs and home runs (Adrian had 40, and Kouz had 18, but still). He's exciting to watch, 'cause at any moment, you know that he could get the clutch hit that wins the game. Or he might get hit by pitch. We love him in here in San Diego. We love "Koozing" for him when he comes up to bat. There is no other player on the team that we do something like that for. And it started from the very beginning, too. Even through that horrible stretch that he had in the first few months that he was here, we were right behind him. He's improved a lot.
3. He's got a great attitude.
Looking back at the stretch of time in early 2007, when he was batting something like .167, he kept a great attitude, kept getting in his work, kept pressing hard and staying in the game, and he didn't give up. The press was all over him, the fans weren't too happy, but Bud Black kept the faith in him and he didn't disappoint. He finally got out of that funk and finished wonderfully. He was a quiet, laid-back kind of guy, and he didn't seem to let the pressure get to him too badly. He really does have a great attitude about everything. I don't think I've ever heard him complain to the press about anything, really. He's got a great sense of humor, and he's the kind of guy that I would want in my locker room as a role model to all the young guys around there. Like I said, he's only been in the majors for three years, and he's 28 years old, but he seems like a great role model. I'm proud to have him on this team.
4. He's got a great work ethic.
Kouz has a chronic back problem, which takes him out at least once a season. But he works very, very hard to make sure that the back doesn't act up too much. He had worked very hard on his defense, which is probably why he's gotten so much better over the years. I would want this kind of guy on my team, again, as an example to the younger guys.
5. He's a fan-favorite.
We just love this guy. He's so much fun to watch, and to cheer for. Besides, he's one of the three most popular guys left on the Padres. And he has the potential to get much, much better. I'm so happy that he's here in San Diego. He's great with the fans, doing tons of autograph sessions and things throughtout the season. He was born in Colorado, but he's really a San Diego boy. I just love how he's adapted to playing here, and how he interacts with the fans so well. There are quite a few treasured memories that I have of him and his kindness that I will never forget. He's just to much fun to have here, and I really can't think of a better fit for him than here in San Diego. We love you Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooz!!!
6. I will never forgive the Padres if they do trade him.
Naturally, I don't think any of the Padres Nation will be happy if Kouz is traded, but this is really personal for me, because I love this player like crazy. It all started when he signed autographs for four girls before a game in September 2007. I totally fell in love with him right there and then. He was so nice in doing that for us, and it was one of the coolest things ever. He's a wonderful player, and he's very, very good looking as well. He's really nice, and I just adore him. I would be devistated, and I mean devistated, if the Padres traded him away. I would not be happy with the Padres. No matter who we got in return. I would be very, very angry with the Padres, and it would not be pretty, peoples. Not at all. Sure, I'd still be a Padres fan, and I would recover eventually, but not without a lot of help. I would need a major support group to get through something that horrible (We miss you Tom!!). It would not be good. I would cry like crazy. And I really don't want to see Chase at third. He's great in left, let's just leave him out there.
So please, Jed Hoyer and the Padres front office, don't cause us this pain. Keep the Kouz. We're begging you. I love this guy, and I don't know how much more of losing our most popular players I can take. Just keep him. Please, for the fans. I LOVE YOU KOUZ!!!!
10 Comments
I was really sad when I heard that the Yankees made a deal that would have lost them Melky Cabrera, but after that, it turned out that it was a rumor.
If Kouz leaves, I'm gonna faint. No joke. I can totally understand how you feel right now. HE MUST STAY!!! We can't Kooooooooz anymore during games and I am gonna be very unhappy. UGH!
I was going to post a comment here about Kouzmanoff, but instead wrote a whole post about this. http://opinionatedbaseball.mlblogs.com/
You may want to add reason #7 – Kaybee would fall into a season-long depression and require expensive therapy and medication to return to her former self. Maybe you could find a way for the Padres to pick up the tab for your therapy!🙂
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
This is so far off base it's absurd. Your personal feelings toward a player should have no bearing on your opinion of whether or not he should be traded. Right now Kevin Kouzmanoff has value. He's injury prone, incredibly inconsistent and a statue at third base. Chase Headley is younger, healthier and has the potential to be both a better defensive and offensive third baseman. Plus, you HAVE to play Kyle Blanks somewhere, it's a must at this point. What are you going to do, trade Adrian to make a spot for Blanks?
This is not a good baseball team right now. So moving the pieces not in your long term plans are what is best for the organization. And right now, that means trade Kouzmanoff and trade Heath Bell (who needs a closer on a 70 win team?). Besides, isn't everyone a little tired of watching him ground into double plays and strike out with RISP?
This is the most absurd blog entry I have ever read. Okay, maybe that's an overreaction, but Kevin Kouzmanoff is an average third baseman. The Padres have a cheaper and better option at third base in Chase Headley. PLEASE trade Kevin Kouzmanoff, otherwise I will be an extremely pissed Padres fan.
Okay, so I'm extremely biased. Excuse me for actually liking a star player on the Padres and wanting to keep him here!!
Good riddance, russellanderson and dmilesai. Why criticize for what my friend has to say about her favorite player? It hurts SO much when a player you love leaves (Or about to. Whatever.) and how rude of you guys for writing negative comments without even thinking about her feelings. Sheesh.
By the way Kaybee, can you come over to my blog and celebrate my blog's birthday?🙂 Please and thank you.
Great, thanks!

Meryl Streep Gossip
Meryl Streep gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Meryl Streep in Florence Foster Jenkins
Laura Cavanaugh/ Noam Galai/ Getty Images
The catch-up continues with Meryl Streep's latest Oscar vehicle, Florence Foster Jenkins. I want to sh*t on this movie for being too saccharine and unevenly balanced between its two leads, but this movie is explicitly about NOT sh*itting on people who are trying really hard, even if they fall short in the end. Full Story
Meryl Streep's annual nomination is here
FameFlynet, James Higgins/ Splash News
Few things in our universe are more inevitable than Meryl Streep receiving Oscar nominations whenever she uses an accent in a film. Death, taxes, Meryl Streep accent Oscars—these are the immutable forces of our universe. Full Story
"Sweatshirts are f-cking important" on Carey Mulligan
Wenn, Fred Duval/ Dave J Hogan/ John Phillips/ Mike Marsland/ Getty Images
Kanye West spoke to Vanity Fair a couple of weeks ago about his new collection and one of the best quotes to come out of that conversation was: "Sweatshirts are f-cking important." I totally agree, not joking. Sweatshirts for style is real. Full Story
Carey gives the best answer
Carey Mulligan covers the new ELLE UK ahead of the release Suffragette in which she stars alongside Meryl Streep and Helena Bonham Carter. This is the magazine's feminism issue. And this week, many of you have been emailing me about Meryl and Marion Cotillard, and their responses to questions about being feminists. Full Story
Mothers, Daughters, Rebels
Today is Women's Equality Day in the United States, marking the 95th anniversary of the 19th amendment to the US constitution, confirming women's right to vote. So it makes sense that a new poster for Suffragette has just been released via EW.com Full Story
Meryl Streep in Ricki and the Flash
Wenn, FameFlynet
You know the kind of movie your parents suggest watching when you're visiting, and you agree to watch it because you know it's relatively harmless entertainment that won't include a graphic sex scene or anything similarly mortifying to watch with your parents? But then you end up pretending like you don't actually like it because you're not supposed to get sucked into the kind of populist maudlin tripe that's made to appeal to white middle-aged suburban parents, except you do like it because goddamn it, it's just so earnest and heartfelt that it works, even if it is crazy cheesy? And when it's over and your parents ask if you like it, you downplay your reaction and go, "It was okay, I guess. Full Story
Carey Mulligan, Meryl Streep and Helena Bonham Carter: #squadgoals
The hashtag #squadgoals often appears in wanderlust Instagram captions about a power posse, but it's best paired with the two new Suffragette trailers. Carey! Meryl! The HBC! They're the HBICs fighting for a vote for women in the film – I'm all in. "We break windows, we burn things," Carey's character Maud says in the trailer. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
A trailer for the upcoming Ricki and The Flash was released yesterday starring Meryl Streep as a rock star. Which basically means Meryl Streep will be nominated for more. And she totally should be. As usual, she's amazing. But so is Audra McDonald. And that's another bonus. Another? Written by Diablo Cody. Oh and… Rick Springfield. Ha.
It's a little…what's the word?... schmaltzy, for sure. But Meryl's got what looks like an American flag tattooed on her back. I feel like that might make up for the schmaltz. The movie comes out August 7th which hasn't traditionally been the strongest month for releases. But in recent years, we've seen some winners emerging from August. So let's not yet hold August against Ricki. The hair-combs at the back of her head on the other hand…
Now those can stay in the 80s.
Yours in gossip,
Carey in Charge
PapJuice.com/ Splash News
On paper, would you ever consider giving Carey Mulligan top billing over Meryl Streep for a movie? Their star power and cinematic trajectories couldn't be more different. But that's what happens in the first trailer for Suffragette, which was released today. It's a first look at what many are calling an awards season favourite. Full Story

I did not see that coming from Patricia Arquette. I thought that, if she made a 'statement' in her speech, which we all knew she was going to get to do, that it would be about women, and how it's hard to be a mother, and respecting the quiet people in your life – akin to what Simmons said, and to what Arquette has said in past interviews.

Replying to and old topic but here goes:
I learned a similar story in Pediatric Residency. As I learned it, toddler derives from TOT (a small measure of rum). When one was a TOTTLER, one drank too many tots and stumbled. An infant was a small measure of an adult and also stumbled like a tottler. Hence the terms Tot and Toddler.
Google searches through the decades have failed to find supporting evidence, but it is still a fun story to tell new parents (with a historic-accuracy disclaimer)

Well, just looking at Merriam-Webster it appears that toddle is at least 125 years older than tot, so I'm guessing that explodes THAT theory. It is a fun story, though.

Hi PSTMD...yes a fun story.
If a tot is a small measure of 'spirits' one would need a few to get toddled.

For me the toddler's story goes like this. Tod is a current Dutch word (sorry, I didn't invent it), tod means a rag or worthless piece of cloth. I always saw the English word toddler as a babe waddling in easy fabrics. Because of all the tumbling it does it is not worthwhile to dress it up in a smoking, tuxedo or fancy dress. So it hobbles around in easy non costly fabrics. * A tod als means a cherished piece of cloth or raggy cloth doll that a baby/toddler absolutely needs when it goes to sleep. Toddler and tod belong together.

This 48-acre lagoon at the Clovis wastewater treatment plant started receiving water in November. The city agreed in May to accept water from Southwest Cheese, but nitrogen levels in the water have hindered the process. (CNJ staff photo:Andy DeLisle)
By Marlena Hartz: CNJ staff writer
Nitrogen levels up to double the city standard have stalled plans for Clovis to handle Southwest Cheese's wastewater.
In the meantime, Southwest Cheese has been applying 1 million gallons of treated wastewater daily over about 1,000 acres of cropland for about a year, Southwest Cheese President Maurice Keane said.
New Mexico Environment Department spokeswoman Marissa Stone said public health has not been compromised by Southwest Cheese's irrigation practices, although the practices do not follow the cheese plant's permit with the state.
In May 2006 the city agreed to accept the cheese plant's wastewater. A permit NMED issued to Southwest Cheese reiterates the company must send a portion of its treated wastewater to the city.
City and Southwest Cheese officials assured the Environment Department in a Feb. 27 meeting they are striving to fulfill the agreement, Stone said.
"We believe (both parties) are doing everything possible to rectify the situation," Stone said.
Engineering and treatment practices are being reviewed by Southwest Cheese to lower nitrogen in its wastewater, according to Robert George of the NMED Ground Water Quality Bureau.
The city limits Southwest Cheese to 10 milligrams of nitrogen per liter of treated wastewater, Stone said. That limit was set to comply with the state's limit for nitrate, a form of nitrogen, in groundwater, according to Clovis Public Works Director Harry Wang.
Nitrogen content in Southwest Cheese's wastewater hovers around 15 to 20 milligrams per liter, Keane said.
Every day, Southwest Cheese uses about 500,000 gallons of groundwater; recovers 500,000 to 600,000 gallons of water from milk; and treats about 1 million gallons of wastewater, Keane said.
Southwest uses its treated wastewater for operations, as well as irrigation of cropland it owns near the cheese plant, Keane said.
Keane said the treated wastewater is safe for irrigation purposes. The nitrate limit for Southwest Cheese wastewater is "as low as anybody has in the country," he said, and nitrogen is natural fertilizer.
NMED does not have a uniform limit for nitrogen in wastewater discharges. Limits vary from 10 to 20 milligrams per liter depending on the depth of groundwater near wastewater discharge and other management factors. Crops soak up nitrogen, but as it filters through the ground, it can be converted into nitrate, a form of nitrogen that can be dangerous to health, according to George of the NMED Ground Water Quality Bureau.
The New Mexico Environment Department regulates nitrate in groundwater because excessive amounts can compromise the health of the young and elderly. Nitrate consumed in significant levels is tied to Blue Baby Syndrome, a condition that can lead to asphyxiation in infants, according to George.
The city sells its treated wastewater to a farmer, and the farmer uses it to irrigate his fields. If the treatment plant exceeds state limits for nitrate, excessive amounts of nitrate could seep into groundwater, which New Mexicans drink.
Southwest Cheese is regulated by NMED, as well.
"Any liquid discharge that has the potential to affect groundwater is required to be permitted," George said.
The NMED permit issued to Southwest Cheese allows the company to discharge treated wastewater over 90 acres of cropland daily, and over another 679 acres in emergency cases for no more than 90 days per year when the Clovis Wastewater Treatment Plant cannot accept its water.
Passing Southwest Cheese wastewater to the city's wastewater treatment plant benefits the company and the city, and protects water quality in the region, officials said.
Some contaminants remain in Southwest Cheese wastewater after treatment; by mixing it with city wastewater, which is treated to a higher quality, the wastewater rises to state standards, according to Clovis City Manager Joe Thomas.
The deal also gives Southwest Cheese an outlet for disposal of its wastewater and provides an arid region with water for irrigation and industrial purposes, according to officials.
Wang said the city is working with Southwest Cheese to bring its treated wastewater to city standards, and Keane estimated kinks will be smoothed out within a few months.
"It's a matter of matching our needs with theirs," Keane said.
But meeting the city standard for wastewater may be even more difficult for the company in the future. The city has made an agreement with NMED to lower nitrate in its wastewater below the state standard of 10 milligrams per liter, George said. That new standard will go into effect soon, officials said.
The 2006 agreement that forged the yet-to-be partnership between Clovis and Southwest Cheese simultaneously paved the way for almost $10 million in improvements at the Clovis Wastewater Treatment Plant. Those improvements were made possible through grants and low-cost financing from the New Mexico Environment Department. Southwest Cheese and the city are responsible for paying back NMED, Thomas said.
Improvements at the wastewater plant are under way, with 25 acres of new lagoons expected to be ready for storage soon, Wang said.
The city currently handles about 3 million gallons of wastewater daily.
Southwest Cheese officially opened in Curry County in October 2006. The company processes 2.4 billion pounds of milk each year, producing more than 250 million pounds of American-style cheese annually, according to its Web site.
The company employs approximately 225 people, its Web site reads.

Million gallons of water are treated per day at the plant on average

Markets unmoved by Chinese policy promisesBy PAN PYLAS
The Associated Press | November 13,2013AP Photo
People walk by an electronic stock board of a securities firm in Tokyo Tuesday. Asian stock markets mostly traded higher Tuesday after the Dow Jones industrial average hit another all-time high. Tokyo's Nikkei jumped 318.84 points, or 2.23 percent and closed at 14,588.68.LONDON — Markets were largely unmoved Tuesday by a promise from China's political leaders for the free market to play a bigger role in the country's state-dominated economy.
At the end of a four-day meeting aimed at producing a reform blueprint for the coming decade, Communist Party leaders said state ownership will remain a pillar of the economy but endorsed private companies as "important components."
China has become the world's number 2 economy through a growth model that's been based on exports and investment. However, reform advocates say further progress will require smaller and medium-sized enterprises having a bigger role over big, politically favored state companies.
Mark Williams, chief Asia economist at Capital Economics, said his initial sense was that the meeting has fallen short of expectations, though conceded it would be "foolish" to make a snap judgment.
"Some disappointment was probably inevitable given the unrealistic belief in some quarters that it would deliver a detailed policy package," he said.
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was flat by the close, at 6,726.79, while Germany's DAX fell 0.3 percent to 9,076.48. The CAC-40 in France fell 0.6 percent to 4,263.78.
A day after hitting an all-time closing high, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 0.3 percent at 15,732. The broader S&P 500 index, which is also just shy of its record high, fell 0.3 percent to 1,766.78.
Whether stock indexes, not just in the U.S., can push on further could rest on what the Federal Reserve does with regard to its monetary stimulus. For weeks, the prevailing view in markets has been that the Fed won't start reducing its $85 billion of monthly asset purchases until March. However, a run of recent economic data have raised expectations that the so-called "tapering" may begin as soon as next month.
In that context, much of the focus in financial markets will be on Janet Yellen's testimony to U.S. lawmakers this Thursday. Yellen has been tapped to replace Ben Bernanke as Fed chairman at the end of January, 2014.
Earlier, Asian stock markets mostly closed higher ahead of the statement from the Chinese authorities. Tokyo's Nikkei jumped 2.2 percent to 14,588.68 as the yen suffered against the dollar, a move that could boost the competitive position of Japan's exporters. The dollar was up 0.6 percent at 99.71 yen.
South Korea's Kospi rose 0.9 percent to 1,995.48 while China's Shanghai Composite gained 0.8 percent to 2,126.77. The PSE Composite in Manila gained 0.9 percent to 6,324.17 after dropping the day before. The Philippines is grappling with the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan. Thousands are believed dead and shattered communications and transportation links are hampering recovery efforts.
Bucking the trend, Hong Kong's Hang Seng shed 0.2 percent to 22,899.38 and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 edged down 0.1 percent to 5,393.10.
Elsewhere, the euro was up 0.2 percent at $1.3426 and the price of benchmark New York crude fell 87 cents to $94.26 a barrel.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

With an upper that fits like a sock, the Asics Gel Blur33 2.0 is a flexible and nimble shoe that offers moderate cushioning and a semi-firm ride.
The Asics Blur33 2.0 is a flashy, road-ready shoe that will meet all your high mileage needs. With good heel cushioning and a durable, responsive midsole, this shoe also features a soft, seam-free upper for ultimate running comfort. Good for supinators and neutral runners alike, the Blur33 2.0 will be your new favorite daily trainer.
Model Number:
Weight: 10.4 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (27mm), Forefoot (17mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
The Gel Lyte33 is a moderate feature, minimum neutral shoe designed for speed work, racing and daily training.
Comments: I'm on my 2nd pair of the Asics Gel Blur33 2.0's. I put over 300 miles on my first pair (including runs of over 20 miles for marathon training). I've had a very good experience with this shoe. I like the stack height and the 10mm heel to forefoot drop. It's a nice change from traditional 12mm drop running shoes- and the more minimal drops of 8mm and less. This is a very comfortable up-tempo shoe with the right amount of cushioning for longer training runs. The upper feels great, and the toe box is just right for me. This shoe has a different feel from my other neutral running shoes. I chalk that up to the pseudo-minimalistic design of the Asics 33 series. My two pairs have been well-built and are not showing much wear after significant mileage. I am 6'2, 185 pounds. I have a neutral foot strike and run 45-60 miles per week.
From: Gary, Dallas, TX, USA
Comments: Not well made at all. Have only 150mi on them and the fabric near the toe is separating from the toe box.
From: Scott D., Denver, CO
Comments: I bought this shoe at the advise of RW staff. I fractured my cuboid early in the season & I used this shoe to work on my recovery. The cushioning is rather plush & the design of the 'roll' heel to toe is rather well established. A nice amount of padding greets the heel strike. The mid stance is a little on the vague side as the shoe is on the wider side & heel cup is over padded & you will note the need to re-tie / tighten up after about a mile is so. Late stance has a positive kick to it is easy to propel from toe off w speed.
After about 1 hour, I too find the wt getting heavy. If you train in the 45' range or want a cross trainer w a runner slant this is perfect. While he soles wear some early, I have not noted any loss of traction, even on wet trail rocks.
Other than the blump wt, this is a near perfect trainer. The cushioning is near bottomless. I prop have 400 miles on them w an easy 200 left before they become a casual shoe.
From: Brian, Vermont
Comments: This is a very comfortable everyday trainer. I was pleasantly surprised with the cushioning they provide a heavier runner(250+lbs). The shoe give lots of feedback with mid and forefoot striking, I like to pivot and turn on a dime sometimes. I've worn them for sprints, tempo, and moderate distance runs. At about 12 miles, when my form isn't as tight as it should be, the shoes aren't as much fun. I'm hoping to squeeze about 5-600 miles out of them, but I'm thinking 350-400 will be really pushing their limit. Great shoe!

When Sagittarius is ready to leap to the bottom of the deep blue sea, Virgo studies its practicality, putting much thought before putting one foot in front of the other. In love and bedroom antics, it's much the same. Virgo's virgin-like caution will take the sparks out of the moment for the eager Archer.
The only thing these two will agree on is that they disagree on just about everything.
Famous Virgo-Sagittarius couple: Beyonce (Virgo) and Jay Z (Sagittarius).
No. 1: Pisces and Taurus
In the world of opposites attracting, nothing could be closer to the truth with this pairing, and their differences are so polar opposite that there isn't much common ground.
Stubborn Taurus finds the impracticality of Pisces annoying, while the fish continually has to swim upstream to be heard by the bull who is perpetually right all the time. The dual Fish is always pulled in opposite directions when trying to make a decision; the frustrated Bull stomps its foot, flares its nostril and loses its temper.
Add to that Pisces bad habit of having an opinion about everything and the Bull's short fuse, and you have enough combustion for an implosion.
In the bedroom, Taurus is a tease, while Pisces wants things done right away when they want it. While the Bull will try to trample all over the Fish, Pisces will wriggle its way out of its tight grip. This is perhaps the most stressful love pairing in the entire zodiac.
Former famous Pisces-Taurus couples: Eva Longoria (Pisces) and Tony Parker (Taurus)

Senator Lucio has passed hundreds of bills, including those creating the University of Texas Health Science Center-South Texas, a life without parole option in capital murder cases, water and waste-water funding for colonias, and self-help programs enabling aspiring home owners to invest sweat equity in the construction of their own homes. His commitment to families and children has resulted in expanded health coverage for children with autism, installing three-point seat belts on new school buses, improving nutrition in schools, and protecting and enhancing health care benefits for families of peace officers killed in the line of duty.
