My doctor wrote to me in an email :
I did have the chance to review your records. I was quite impressed by how bad your liver tests were and compromised your renal (kidney) function was-pretty much one of the worst HELLP syndromes I have seen short of a true liver rupture. We get a baseline set of labs including 24 hour urine analysis to make sure there is no long-lasting damage. I hope to hear from you as soon as possible.

Oct. 9, 2011 was my first marathon.
No congratulations are in order; I wasn't running in it. I wouldn't run that far unless I was being chased by very dangerous and very slow-footed people or large, carnivorous animals.
What I was doing wasn't nearly as difficult as running 26.2 miles, although schlepping a 3-year-old and a 6-year-old through downtown Chicago streets was no stroll through the meadow, either.
My wife was running her first marathon, and it was a huge family event. We knew she could accomplish anything she wanted to accomplish, and we were determined to celebrate with her.
While she was slogging through some near South Side neighborhood, I was buttering pancakes at the Grand Lux Café on North Michigan Avenue. My major accomplishment for the day was wiping the syrup from sticky children, but this was a family day. It was about mom.
My daughter might have been too young to grasp the significance, but the boy understood. One of my favorite images will forever be a photo of our proud son hugging mom in Grant Park after she crossed the finish line.
He brought the medal to school later to prove that his mom was as tough as he boasted.
These were the memories that entered my mind Monday – knowing that the streets of Boston were teeming with people who were either accomplishing something they dreamed of accomplishing or celebrating that feat with spouses, children and friends.
What should have been a similar collective moment in Boston was shattered by killers.
At least for this discussion and for the moment, it doesn't matter whether those killers were members of al-Qaida, Occupy Wall Street, some right-wing fringe group or one or two evil individuals acting for God knows what purpose.
Whoever was responsible for this despicable act succeeded in killing three innocent people, including an 8-year-old boy, and maiming dozens of others. They succeeded in bringing horror to one of the proudest cities in the world.
They succeeded in bringing permanent pain to victims and their families. They succeeded in making anyone with normal human emotions temporarily miserable.
But what all of these attacks fail to do is change much of anything inside the United States. Marathons will continue – in Boston, Chicago, New York and many other cities.
Moms from the suburbs and weekend warriors will continue to tread along country roads and treadmills training hard to test the limits of their physical and mental capabilities.
What they fail to do is to destroy the collective will of first-responders who risk their own lives for others, whether the terrorists are foreign or domestic. They fail to lessen the resolve of U.S. Homeland Security, the FBI or state and local police from protecting the public as they do time and time again.
They fail to stop Americans from continuing to gather at sporting events or to celebrate significant accomplishments.
They fail to persuade anyone that their particular cause has merit because no ends are justified by the means of terrorism.
Whatever message a terrorist has will continue to be lost on the majority of Americans who will band together when attacked, and they'll get back to their lives – not for some medal or to cross some finish line – but because we're better people than they are.

"Tonight, We Win!"
- 4-2 Padres
As some of you know, I got to attend the game last night. I had so much fun! It was incredible to experience the Dodgers-Padres rivalry right there. There were a lot of Dodgers fans in attendance, but I tried my hardest to out-yell them!
My friend, sister, and I got to the ballpark about 40 minutes before the game. The Dodgers were nearing the end of BP as we walked all the way up to the Upper Reserved seats.
While we waited for the game to start, we ate "dinner" and watched the players come out to warm up. We saw Nick Hundley head out towards the bullpen to do some sprints, and we were reminded of a game that we went to last year.
Eventually, the National Anthem was sung, the first pitches were thrown out, and it was time to play ball.
I was really pleased with Chris Young's outing last night. He did very well after a bad spring. Last night he threw six innings, giving up five hits and two runs with five strikeouts. I had never seen the 6-foot-10 Young pitch live before, so that was really fun. He had a really great outing.
Our hitters couldn't do much against Randy Wolf for the first few innings. But in the bottom of the second, my boy Kouz hit a triple down the right field line. Very cool that he was able to get it over there as a right-hander. He got around the bases in good time and slid into third with no problem. Scott Hairston drove him in with a double down the left field line. Scotty's going to be good for us this year! It was very exciting for the Padres to draw first blood.
It was disappointing to see the Dodgers come back and get two runs in the fourth, though. Manny started it off with a double. BOOOOOOOO!!! I was ragging on my friend about how good Manny was supposed to be and this was finally his first hit of the season! If he's supposed to be this good, why didn't he get a hit in say, in Monday's game? HAHA! Russell Martin doubled in Manny, and later, Casey Blake drove Martin in with a sacrifice fly.
Things weren't looking that great for the Padres hitters. They were not doing much against Randy Wolf. But in the sixth, they really turned it on.
Adrian Gonzalez started it off with a single, followed by Kouz doing the same exact thing. Chase Headley drove them both in with a double! It was so cool! The Padres fans were going estatic! Later in the inning, Luis Rodriguez sac-flied Chase in.
Things got a little tense when Edwin Moreno came out of the bullpen for his major league debut. You could tell that he was a little nervous, especially facing some of the best Dodgers hitters. He gave up two walks, but got Manny to pop out to end the inning. That's a great dose of confidence for the young guy.
It started sprinkling in the bottom of the 7th. I felt these pricks in my arms, and since the previous inning had found me going crazy and clapping really hard, I thought my arms were going to sleep! But then I realized that it was raining. It didn't rain hard, but it was really fun to watch the game through the rain. It was beautiful.
Duaner Sanchez threw a scoreless inning, and before we knew it, it was the top of the ninth. But the bells didn't ring through the stadium. The fans didn't stand in anticipation of the all-time saves leader trotting out of the bullpen. Instead, Heath Bell ran out of the bullpen. He didn't trot, he kind of, uh…I'd say lumbered out really fast. He looked really pumped and energetic.
Even though this wasn't Trevor, the crowd was really supportive of Heath. When the announcer announced Heath, he drew it out like he did with Trevor: "Heeeaaattth Bell!" It just wasn't right. It just wasn't the same.
Heath did very well. He struck out the first batter, but walked the next one. He then went on to strike out the next two batters, and that was that. Padres win!!
It was such a fun game! I really enjoyed cheering on for my team! I screamed and yelled like I never have before. I loved screaming "BEAT LA!!". It was so much fun to try to out-yell the Dodgers fans in our section. There was a much smaller crowd than Monday, which I expected. We only had 20,035 out there last night! But it was a good crowd. A lot of Dodgers fans, but a lot of Padres fans as well. We had a blast! I love this rivalry, to boo Manny, to shriek "BEAT LA!!". We did that so many times!
Sure, these fans were on different sides, but we were all having a blast watching some baseball. Being a fan is so much fun! I would love to go to more Dodgers-Padres games this year.
We got to see a great game for our Padres. Kouz had two hits. Adrian had a hit and a walk. Nick Hundley had two walks. It was such a well-played game!
I wanted to mention David Eckstein, who has been hitting the ball like crazy, but always right at someone. He had four at-bats last night, and all of them were flyouts or lineouts. Soon, he's going to find those empty spots, and he's going to really help this club.
It was really cool for me to be out there so early in the season. It was only the second game! I've never been to a game that early, so that was really neat. I got to see the Padres first win of the season, Heath Bell's first save as the official closer (his third in the majors), Edwin Moreno's major league debut, Chris Young's first win of the season, Kouz's first hit of the season, and so many other things. It was very cool.
I also thought it was pretty cool that I got to see Randy Wolf pitch. Last year, my first game of the season was Randy Wolf pitching against the Mariners, so it was kind of ironic that I saw him in my first game of this season too.
As we left the ballpark, you could tell that Padres fans were estatic. They were yelling, cheering all over the place. The Gaslamp was celebrating! This win really pumped up all the Padres fans, myself included. I am so excited about this team! It was such a great game!
Sure, we lost on Opening Day. This team is still proving itself. We don't know what the next 160 games will bring. We may lose the rest of the season, but "tonight, we win". I'm going to remember this game for a long time.
I want to leave you with the beautiful calm rain over the silent Petco Park.
Tonight we continue the series against the Dodgers. Walter Silva will make his major league debut against Chad Billingsley. Let's get another "W", shall we? GO PADRES!!!

Kaybee ~ congratulations on your Padres victory last night.
Your blog is amazing. The writing and the photographs are outstanding! Keep up the good work. I'm also glad you were able to attend last night's game. I love the city of San Diego too. Although I am a Dodgers fan, the Chargers are my favorite team in the NFL. My wife and I have attended several of their games and plan on going to one this fall too. I wish your Padres well…but not against my Dodgers. Take care.
Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog.
You did a great job of making us feel as if we were right there with you, Kaybee. Loved the pix and the play by play. Petco is so inviting I need to make the trip down to see it.
Yay Padres! You really showed Them, didn't you? Eckstein is great, and he fits really well with the Padres. I hope you win tonight, too!
Great post Kaybee! I'm glad you had a great time and that the Padres won! Great pictures!
Nice photos! Isn't rain so peaceful sometimes? Well, as long as it is not delaying my game :O)
I'm glad you had a great time. Nice pictures too. Yay for our boys! Yesterday we ended up losing but let's see what Kevin Correia can do today🙂 (or right now, actually) Maybe he can even up the series. Go Padres!
Beautiful pictures, Kaybee. Thank you so much for sharing them with us. I am glad that you had a great time, and that you got to see your boys win. Loved the line about Heath Bell "lumbering out quickly". Haha. Great entry. Rain in California must not come around too often. I liked your description of watching baseball through the rain.

He's been working with the National Weather Service in Hawaii for three years but until recently, he's been unheard of. So who is this new "weather man" that everyone's talking about?
Meet Mike Cantin.
"My mom would say the Cantins, we can talk, we can even talk to a tree stump if we wanted to," says Mike Cantin, warning coordinator meteorologist for the National Weather Service.
You may remember his face from recent newscasts, but it's his words and presentation that has people talking.
On Twitter, one person writes,"Mike Cantin is like the guy."
Another says, he's "articulate and akamai."
On Facebook, the list of positive comments is long. One person says KITV should offer him a job, but Cantin says the credit should go to his teammates.
"Behind the scenes we've got a great group of folks keeping the equipment running, making the forecasts, making the important decisions and helping me get that information out to you," says Cantin.
Understanding Cantin's approach to weather forecasting is as simple as hearing where he's from, Strafford, N.H. Growing up in a town of about 2,500 people molded his approach to life.
"For me, it's always been about simplicity and how I'd be able to make things simple in my mind and be able to communicate them from there," says Cantin.
It also helps to have a background in television news. Cantin put in two years as a meteorologist at news stations in Idaho and Wyoming. He later moved from state to state with the National Weather Service until a job opening three years ago in Hawaii.
The father of four has lived in eight states in thirteen years with his wife. He lives in Maili and expects to stay in Hawaii for a while, but don't expect him to swap jobs anytime soon.
"You don't necessarily want to see me on TV. When you see me something either bad has happened or is about to happen, so hopefully I can be helpful in sharing the information, but if you don't see me for a while, that's probably a good sign," says Cantin.

Hi, I have a somewhat random question.. what happens to the breast tissue once we stop bf? Does the size reduce back to what it was originally or does it stay somewhere in between?

Hi, I have a somewhat random question.. what happens to the breast tissue once we stop bf? Does the size reduce back to what it was originally or does it stay somewhere in between?
Oh, this is a good question; thanks for starting this!
I'd love to hear other responses to this! My BF'ing circle of friends have seen all kinds of aftermaths....one stayed 'larger' than she was pre-pregnancy, one got much smaller than she was pre-preg, some just went back to similar to where they had been.... At one year (and still going) of BF DS, I'm now a little larger than I was pre-preg, but much smaller than I was at, say, 3-6 months in to BF'ing. :rolleyes:
Others?? Please share your experiences!
Anybody have any experiences to share?
Breasts typically return to pre-nursing/pre-pregnancy size within 6 months to a year after complete weaning.
I cannot give any personal experience with this though as I've either been pregnant or nursing for the past 7 years or so, lol.
HAHAHHA.... well, i started out a B cup pre preg. Then I swelled to an almost D cup...... YAY!, but then after 4-5 months, boobs went to a smooshy A-B. I nursed my first daughter until just over a year, but my milk never completely went away until I got preg again 2 yrs after weaning. I didn't have leaking or anything, but if daddy was messing around too much, he'd get some...hahahaha.
So when I got preg the second time, milk dried up and then after baby was born, Full c-d size again... YAY!!!, I was happy to have boobs, cuz it was such a flattering figure I thought. So after nursing her for 7-8 months, she decided she was done and then I went to smoshy A-B again with milk not entirely drying up til preg 3.
Preg 3, I miscarried.... and milk went away. Then Baby 3, (preg 4) I had milk, but my son got very very sick at 2 weeks and the hospitalization and stress and worry caused me to dry overnight. And you just read how my milk refused to dry up in between babies, but to see my son almost die caused it to dry immediately. So, poor baby wasn't breastfed. I couldn't get it to come back as hard as I tried.
My fourth baby ....... I was smooshy A-B until milk came in after delivery, then went to the C-D, but like the other babies, after nursing about 5 months, went back to smooshy A-B. Keep in mind though, that they were all exclusively bf with no suppliments until at 9 months the first baby, 6 months the second baby and 9 months the 4th baby. ALthough I had small smooshy, I had PLENTY of milk.
Also, i was joking with friends that my boobs don't sag cuz they're small, but my nipples do....HAHAHAHAHHA, which is true. I joke that I need a nipple lift.... but my nipples were really big even before I nursed.....
Hope this helps........:D Gen
Since I started this I guess I should tell where I am.. I was a small B.. then became a full D during pregnancy. I am still bfeeding after 11 months, I pump at work, so I am still a D.. but they are slowly but surely deflating! I guess its becuase my production is going down with him eating more solids.
Im about to get a bathing suit for summer and was wondering if it was going to end up being too big on top! At this rate it looks like it!
This is interesting, and I had the same question. Pre-pregnancy i was a B and during pregnancy a C. Now bf I am a BIG D. I am only nursing my son before bed, in the middle of the night and first feeding in the morning and I haven't changed at all. He is 6 months almost and wiht a lower production of milk now I thought I would shrink....nothing yet. :rolleyes:

DURANGO, Colo. — Freshman forwards Hayley Hollenga and Sara Egbom each scored a pair of goals Thursday as Fort Lewis defeated Eastern New Mexico University 5-2 in the women's soccer season opener for both teams.
The Skyhawks outshot ENMU 25-4 overall and 17-4 on goal. Fort Lewis opened a 3-1 halftime lead with two goals late in the half.
After Hollenga scored just under two minutes into the contest, ENMU freshman forward Hannah Dozier got the equalizer midway through the half. Hollenga scored less than five minutes later and Egbom, who played at Albuquerque's Hope Christian, added her first goal with about 12 1/2 minutes remaining in the half.
Redshirt freshman Alicia Cunningham scored with just under 20 minutes left to pull the Zias to 4-2 before Egbom's second goal finished off the scoring with less than three minutes remaining.
Senior midfielder Kelly Smith was credited with a pair of assists for the Skyhawks, while Hollenga had an assist on Egbom's first goal. The Zias were not credited with assists on either of their goals.
Both teams play Montana State-Billings this weekend in Durango, the Zias facing the Yellowjackets on Saturday and the Skyhawks playing them on Sunday.

Three Rivers ISD Superintendent Kenneth Rohrbach said tax collections have nearly doubled in the last three years, going from $12 million to $22-23 million. He also said the estimated value for Live Oak County for Three Rivers ISD is $2.249 billion.
"The district is in great shape financially," Rohrbach said.
He told the school board that 99 wells have been added and their value is currently unknown, and that newly added pods and pipelines haven't been factored in yet either. He estimated that next year's tax collections will be about $30-32 million and the district's current budget is set at $9.5 million.
Rohrbach also said the district will have close to $50 million on deposit next year with a recapture of $20 million compared to this year's $6.3 million.
"We never used $50 million on this district," Rohrbach said.
Because the district is currently doing well financially, Rohrbach asked the board to approve of making investments since First State Bank's limit is $19 million and the rest only earns a tenth of a percent in interest on investments not in the bank.
He also asked the board to hire Omar Garcia from BOSC as a professional financial advisor to help the district make good decisions with their finances. He said the district is currently "riding a wave" but wants to prepare for the future when the district's income could be different from what it is today.
Rohrbach said a financial advisor is necessary because the district needs to prepare for if there is ever a time when they owe more in recapture than they collect in taxes.
"I'm good with finances, but I'm not that good," Rohrbach said. "I need a professional to come in and say we need to start socking away now so that when we fall off a cliff you are not hurting."
In other Three Rivers ISD news:
• Because so many teams and individual students went to state and national competitions, the district had to amend their budget by $10,000.
"We didn't budget enough for playoff expenses and haven't had this many teams go in years," Rohrbach said. "I am happy we are over-budget on that."
The district also approved a budget amendment of $15,500 for cafeteria equipment to accommodate the new healthy lunch options. Rohrbach told the board that enough students and faculty participated to make it worth continuing.
• After months of advertising custodial positions with no applicants, the district decided to outsource with McLemore Building Maintenance. The district is down to four custodians and can't keep up with the cleaning.
"Our salary isn't bad," Rohrbach said. "Our buildings aren't consistently clean because we are shorthanded."
• The board approved of adding a full-day paid pre-kindergarten class and making the current pre-kindergarten class for qualifying student full-day as well. The price will be $18 per student.
• The board approved six probationary hires for the district; Ruben Acosta as band director, Cameron Jones for high school English, Kelly Black for coaching and geography, and Mark Hlavaty for middle school science, Brandy Liberhold for elementary education, and Elizabeth DeLeon for counseling.
• Three Rivers High School graduation will be held in the auditorium on Saturday, June 1 at 7 p.m. and the next board meeting is set for June 24 at 6 p.m.

Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies - Damn it, you've got to be kind. - Kurt Vonnegut
I saw this thread and had to join in. I'm not a working mom, but need to pump for my newborn and wondering if there's any end in sight... being home alone all week & trying to find time to feed him AND pump and eat, myself, or even get out of the house is trying. And you can never stop! Sigh.
I hate pumping, too.
Yeah, good job all of you who are pumping for your babies. I thought we'd be better at nursing now and not need to but I still wake myself up every 3 hrs at night and then do a power pump session and every 2-3 hrs during the day to get my lo her milk. I'm looking forward to her birthday when I said I'll be done pumping.
Nursed my sweet daughter 3 years, 3 mos.
just think, your baby willbenefit from your sacrafice.
I feel you though, just went back to work andpumping really sucks!
sorry for the typos, holding a precious little one

Greetings and
Prayers in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ
Welcome to the Traditions
established by our Lord Jesus Christ and His Apostle St. Thomas in India. Live,
the law set down by Scripture, and follow the Tradition of the earliest of
Christ's Apostles and of the Master Himself. Our Creed, Liturgies, Traditions
and Teaching are the oldest extant interpretation of the Holy Teaching of Jesus
Christ. The Church of our Lord Jesus Christ is a communion of Churches. Unity
and diversity are two essential dimensions of the Church. Unity needed in
faith, Sacraments and leadership. There is diversity in the form of Worship,
Spirituality, Theology, Discipline, Traditions, etc.
Christianity in India is as old as world
Christianity. There are 25 million Christians in India which is just below 3%
of the total population of the Country. Diversity of Christians is noticeable:
Syrian Christians, Knanaya Christians, Goan Christians, Tamil Christians,
Anglo-Indians, Naga Christians, etc are the main. They differ in language,
social customs and economic prosperity. Christians play a decisive role in the
fields of education, social work and even in politics.
Kerala is the cradle of Christianity in
India. In the educational field, the work of the Christians of Kerala has been
noteworthy and it is due to their efforts together with that of the government
and of other religious and cultural groups that Kerala became the leading state
in India for literacy.
St. Thomas was one of the disciples of Jesus.
He is also known as Didymus, which means the Twin. Thomas means Twin in Aramaic
and Didymus means Twin in Greek. He is generally known as the Doubting Thomas
since he refused to believe the resurrection unless he has verified it himself.
His acts are not found in the Acts of the Apostles.
Indian Orthodox TV
(www.orthodoxtv.in) and Indian Orthodox Radio (www.orthodoxfm.com) 24×7 web
channels are at the center of a powerful broadcasting web channels of Indian
Orthodox Church – a reality that is carrying Oriental Orthodox theology and
tradition into the new millennium. Indian Orthodox TV provides quality programming, ranging from Convention
broadcasts, addresses by the Metropolitans, Scholars, Laity, Clergy, news,
interactive discussion groups, study classes, worship instruction, Cultural
programming including documentaries, liturgical broadcasts, music, and special
event programming, Academic classes for laity, Interviews, Seminars, Lectures,
including existing tape and video series, popular speakers and lecturers,
freelance film makers, live conventions, and other content providers. Indian
Orthodox TV is a tool to connect our members of all Oriental Orthodox Churches
all over the world and to inform pilgrims in search of truth. We utilizes a
capstone communications platform that far exceeds any other medium in the
history of mankind: the world wide web.
The Internet and new media
technology have transformed the way human beings interact with one another and
exchange knowledge. The technology is present, the world is waiting, and we
have a mandate to fulfill the words of St. Matthew 28:19-20. "Go therefore and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have
commanded you." Discipleship is relationship, community, neighborhood,
education, teaching, experiencing, seeing and hearing the life and sacraments
of the Church. For the first time in a
millennium, a new world of people in darkness are using the Internet to search
for the light we have. Orthodoxy has the truth. We must use the tools at hand
to spread the light of this truth throughout the world-wide-web.
The Web offers real time audio
and video, printed materials, e-mail, chat rooms, audio and video library; the
opportunities are boundless. Indian Orthodox TV offers the chance for every
human being to see and hear from their spiritual leaders. Even our Holy Church does
not put the Holy Scripture at the center of all truth. God Himself is at the center.
And we know Him not only through what He said, but what He says now, and the
experience of how He says it through the sacraments, through the life of the
church, through seeing and hearing our fathers and mothers, brothers and
sisters in Christ.
Indian Orthodox TV is the premier
state-of-the-art medium for communications. Christ spoke of the senses in St.
Mathew 13:16: "But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they
hear." This is the vision for Indian Orthodox TV: to bring Oriental Orthodoxy
to a sight and sound generation.
We believe that this portal would be timely
and very much in keeping with the spirit of His words " All May be one
" That would be a step toward Christians recognizing fellow Christians
across denominations. We hope this work would whisper to Indian Christians of
various denominations that " they are birds of the same feather flying
different ways to one destination where they would flock together " : Our
Lord Jesus Christ, inspired us, emboldened us when problems loomed, and guided
us past all abstract and solid impediments to a gratifying finish. So we invite
you all to join us in the vision to connect those of the Christian Orthodox
faith through communications and new media networks that cross all lines of
ethnicity and society to bring Orthodox Christians together in closer unity
with the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Join us in loving our new
neighbors in this worldwide neighborhood that is the Internet on the web.
"To err is human and to forgive
is divine" "Please forgive...!!!
May Almighty God Bless You all
Fr. Johnson Punchakonam

Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies
Literacy program developed by Laurier PhD student earns major grant
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Jun 27/11| For Immediate Release
Iuliana Baciu, Instructor, Department of Psychology
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
WATERLOO The Get Ready for School program, created by Iuliana Baciu during her PhD at Laurier and delivered in the last year by Strong Start to reading, is about to expand thanks to a five-year grant of $389,368 from the Lyle S. Hallman Foundation.
Get Ready for School, which helps bridge the literacy gap before children start junior kindergarten, will expand from its current two pilot sites to four sites in 2012 and 15 sites by 2016. Delivered through community centres, it runs for 22 weeks between January and June.
Baciu, an instructor in Lauriers Psychology Department, developed the program in 2005 and ran it until 2010, when she partnered with Strong Start, who now manages the program. Baciu remains involved in analyzing the results of this now community-delivered program, which so far have been very promising. Testing to date suggests some of the children have quadrupled their vocabulary while many have significantly improved their phonological awareness.
Parents and teachers are very excited about the changes they see in the children, who not only improved their pre-academic skills, but are more confident learners in the classroom, said Baciu. The impact is at the individual level, the family level and the community level.
The program has been shown to have great benefit for children whose first language isnt English or who are disadvantaged for socio-economic reasons. It combines early literacy development with classroom learning behaviour and routines, which are necessary to ensure a positive and confident entry into school.
There is amazing growth in the children over the course of the Get Ready for School program, said Machelle Denison, executive director of Strong Start. We are very excited to bring this program to the community and are extremely grateful for the generous support of the Hallman Foundation.
The location of the two new sites has yet to be determined. Funding for the first four years of the program were provided by Laurier and from research grants by Alexandra Gottardo, an associate professor of Psychology at Laurier and Bacius masters and PhD advisor. Currently, the Lyle S. Hallman Foundation has provided funding for the programs two-year pilot at Popcorn House in Cambridge. The pilot site of Kingsdale Community Centre has been funded by the United Way of Kitchener Waterloo and Area and The Kitchener Waterloo Community Foundation over the same period.
I am very proud of the work the foundation has done pro-actively and responsively to support early child literacy in our community, said Hulene Montgomery, executive director of the Lyle S. Hallman Foundation. It has been exciting to watch this program evolve from a PhD research thesis study to the high-impact, high-integrity program it is today.

Carol Dorazio, administrative assistant to the deputy superintendent of Clovis schools, sorts through Christmas ornaments that will be sent to decorate the New Mexico Christmas tree in Washington D.C. this year. (Staff photo: Sharna Johnson)
By Marlena Hartz: CNJ staff writer
Harvested from the Santa Fe National Forest, an 80-foot spruce is going on a long road trip east to the nation's capitol. It is the latest in a long line of trees chosen for holiday display near the Washington Monument.
And to adorn its branches are more than 3,000 ornaments handcrafted by New Mexico school students.
The students had just one guideline — ornaments should reflect the Land of Enchantment.
At Melrose, that meant wooden steer-head ornaments.
"We're kinda out here in the country and we have lots of cattle and stuff, so this was a pretty good idea," explained seventh-grade Melrose student Hayden Moore.
At Bella Vista and Sandia in Clovis, Zia symbol and chili pepper ornaments were the choice.
At Clovis' Lockwood Elementary, it was a Styrofoam New Mexico flag.
Clovis Municipal School students produced 1,237 ornaments combined, more than any other district in New Mexico, according to Clovis Schools Deputy Superintendent Ladona Clayton and Instruction Department assistant Carol Dorazio.
"I am so proud of these schools for stepping up and making such a notable contribution. The students did an excellent job of representing their creativity and reflecting the Southwest flavor of New Mexico," said Clayton, her office space filled Monday with ornaments awaiting the 1,000-mile-plus journey to Washington.
New Mexico will also donate more than 65 smaller trees to decorate government offices in Washington, according to
It is the state's second holiday contribution to the country — the Carson National Forest provided the Capitol Holiday Tree in 1991.
"I think the tree will represent New Mexico very well because it comes from our children's hearts," said Clovis elementary art teacher Teresa Jaehnke.
The student-made decorations will be sent to old homes and charitable organizations after Christmas, according to
Students and teachers who helped make the decorations are eligible for a trip to Washington.
New Mexico got its repeat Capitol Hill invitation because few states can grow a tree large enough to meet capitol lawn standards, said Suzanne Probart, executive director of Tree New Mexico, a non-profit organization that partnered with Santa Fe National Forest to provide Washington with the trees.
Capitol Trees are traditionally more than 60 feet tall. This spruce measures 80 feet.
The spruce was discovered — and chosen from nine others eligible for the position — at 8,500 feet above sea level. It took two whole days to survey the candidates.
Probart said the 90-year-old Engleman spruce will travel through 18 New Mexico communities on a 12-day tour before it arrives Nov. 22 on Capitol turf. A sealed water tank will provide the massive tree with the 50 gallons of water it uses per day, Probart said.
Here's the spruce's schedule:
• Nov. 7: The spruce will be cut from its forest home.
• Nov. 10: The tour across New Mexico begins. The closest stop to Clovis will be Roswell, Probart said.
• Dec. 8: The spruce will be lit. It will be placed on the west front lawn of Capitol Hill facing the Washington Monument.

Plan on drafting Marshall
The Broncos today traded WR Brandon Marshall to the Dolphins for a 2nd round pick in next week's draft, along with what is reportedly another 2nd round pick in 2011's draft. Marshall was a restricted free agent until yesterday, when he signed his $2.521 million tender from the Broncos, which facilitated the trade. And today, he signed a massive 4-year, $47.5 million extension with Miami, which included $24 million guaranteed.
It's always difficult to evaluate any acquisition involving a troubled player or anyone with issues off the field, but if we can assume the Dolphins did as much due diligence as possible and that Marshall's going to make minimal waves for Bill Parcells and head coach Tony Sparano, this is an excellent move for Miami. Especially since their division rival in New York added wideout Santonio Holmes this week, the Dolphins simply had to find a way to add a legit #1 receiver for their offense, and they certainly did so by bringing Marshall into the fold.
Starting QB Chad Henne is a work in progress, but he has all the tools to be a nice NFL starter for years to come. He has a strong arm, showed the ability last year […]

Posted on 03/06/2012 12:29:39 PM PST by Timber Rattler
Recent momentous events at Cato have drudged up some age-old questions about libertarianism and politics: how should libertarians interact with politics and political candidates? Should libertarians compromise full freedom by promoting half-measures in the form of less-than-perfect candidates who are better than the alternatives on some matters but perhaps worse on others?
Many of the most long-standing divisions within libertarianism are partially a result of different answers to these questions. Some regard all interactions with politics and politicians as inherently corrupting and a tacit endorsement of governmental oppression. Others feel that a refusal to engage in politics is a one-way-ticket to irrelevancy that ultimately guarantees a less-free society. They claim that while utopian dreams of a political discourse built on ideas and bereft of partisanship are fine, political change happens through politics and politicians, and to deny this is to be obstinate.

Personally, I do no think librarians should be involved in any political discussions.
Recent momentous events at Cato have drudged up some age-old questions about libertarianism and politics: how should libertarians interact with politics and political candidates? Should libertarians compromise full freedom by promoting half-measures in the form of less-than-perfect candidates who are better than the alternatives on some matters but perhaps worse on others?
Many of the most long-standing divisions within libertarianism are partially a result of different answers to these questions. Some regard all interactions with politics and politicians as inherently corrupting and a tacit endorsement of governmental oppression. Others feel that a refusal to engage in politics is a one-way-ticket to irrelevancy that ultimately guarantees a less-free society. They claim that while utopian dreams of a political discourse built on ideas and bereft of partisanship are fine, political change happens through politics and politicians, and to deny this is to be obstinate.
I believe both methodologies are needed. In an age of increasing politicization it becomes more and more necessary to win libertarian goals through politics. It is crucial, however, that concessions to politics do not compromise the libertarian message that political choice must be limited in its reach. If we only focus on the next election, this message may be lost and politics will take over, perhaps forever.
Liberty is not the ideology of an interest group; it is the baseline of the human experience. But encroachments on liberty will inevitably manufacture interest groups that seek out compromises in order to preserve liberty in limited areas. Thus, a city considering licensing cab drivers creates an interest group that fights to maintain a free market in taxis. After licensing is instilled, the interest group lives on, fighting new regulations, passing their own regulations, and defending certain interests of cab drivers.
As more and more areas of life are politicized, this type of politically oriented behavior becomes increasingly necessary. We move so far away from the baseline of liberty that political mobilization is required in nearly every area of our lives: to marry who we want to marry, to get the medical treatment that may save our life or relieve our constant pain, to choose a health-care plan that does not violate our conscience, or even to drink raw milk. In the process, the struggle to preserve the baseline of the human dignityhuman libertyare sub-divided into battles over the mundanesuch as the freedom for children to start a lemonade stand. This is how the fight for human dignity is trivialized and advocates for liberty are balkanized. This is how politics takes over the fight for liberty.
I do not blame anyone who fights for liberty through politics. In fact, I encourage it when it is needed. If your honest business is threatened with extinction due to a new prohibition or regulation, then any politicians pushing the rule should be opposed in the political arena.
But while such fights are perhaps the frontline of the fight for liberty, they are not the baseline. Those fighting for the baseline should constantly remind us that political squabbles over taxi licenses are second-best solutions to a problem that is far more pervasive than licensing: the increasing politicization of human life and the compromising of human dignity that results from that politicization. When there are no more zones where political control is forbiddenyour mind, your body, your family, your property, etc.then there will be no liberty. The fight for liberty has both a short and a long game and, just like football, both should be part of the strategy. But, unlike other political persuasions, focusing too much on the short game actually undermines some of our core principles: that there should be little or no political involvement in certain areas of life. Above all else, libertarians should have long memories that can point out how political concessions of the past paved the way for crises in the present, and we should also be able to show that we made this argument in the past, but no one listened to us. Otherwise, if our past is filled with political concessions, then our message will be substantially weakened, if not totally lost.
Trevor Burrus is a legal associate at the Cato Institute. Get the latest from Trevor by following him on Facebook.
I think libertarians should take over the democrat party.
Form a party, write a platform and keep their childish fantasies among themselves.
That would save us from those deep political arguments such as, ""Open borders are fine, and free, we just eliminate social programs, and then no one will want to come here except for a few excellent people, see how easy politics are? Next complicated issue please.""
And they wouldn't be involved but for a media industry, both extremes, so intent on constantly stirring up controversy that they always provide a ready venue, a hungry camera. Same crap we see out of the middle east and out of Washington every five minutes
Refraining from telling other liberty lovers that they're "statists" and "are afraid of freedom" for not supporting a full and immediate legalisation of crack cocaine would be a good place for libertarians to start if they're really serious about interacting with the political system.
They should sit in their caves and contemplate their belly buttons.
ya wanna know what this small "l" libertarian is doing?? I will not cast a vote for anyone running for a public that:
Has voted in the past for big government.
Has shown a willingness to bypass the constitution to win votes.
Is a supported, either now or has been, of the nanny state.
with this in mind, the only candidate left in the race for president is Nwet.
All others are at the best socialists
unless you are talking about mcromney, here the only difference is that one is white and has an r after his name...

Libertarians support polygamy and homosexual marriage, social conservatives don't.
"Libertarians support polygamy and homosexual marriage, social conservatives dont."
Libertarians are found across the spectrum on these issues; like many other conservatives.
Just like members of the GOP vs GOP party positions, Libertraians do not necessarily fall in line with the views of the Libertarian Party (much like most Catholics who do practice some form of contraception outside of their church's teaching).
Besides, Libertarianism in politics is less about the moral position of an individual Libertarian as it is their beliefs regardiing the limitations of secular law.
The political question is not always the moral question.
The Conservative political question goes to the requirements of law in order to (1) maintain security, deter crime, and establish civil order, as well as (2) the limitations of law in order to preserve Liberty.
The moral question is larger and assumes we can, and ought to, choose to act for the good without secular law having to be used to mandate what is good in every detail of life. The more that secular law is the source of mandating what is "good" the less it is by the human conscience that true good is chosen, and the law gravitates to corrupting good for the mere benefit of the secular regime of law.
Within Conservatism at large both the social conservative moral priority and the Liberterian legal priority must be addressed. Conservatism needs them both and needs both the philisophical contest between them and the willingness to reach a workable balance that respects both the side of "moral order" and the side of Liberty, recognizing the limitations of law and the endless ability of action by individuals and free associations in a free society.
Secular law is the state. Libertarians are not ambivalent about their disdain for the intrusions of the state against Liberty. That's a philosophical position regarding the use of secular law. SOME (not all) social conservativs are philosophically ambivalent about the state, calling it a tyrant when it offends their values but not always opposed to using it to establish law to not merely respect their values but mandate them; much like the secular humanists try to do now.
The true Libertarian, when it comes to how far the law can go to mandate what is "legal" from a moral point of view, is neither pro or con toward the moral values of either the social conservative or the secular humanist. Th true Libertarian seeks for the law to more often be an agnostic - neither pro or con - and expects that the law ought to, and the institutions of the state ought to be neither proactively for or proactively against; letting the social dynamics of individuals and all of society's free associations to work for and establish MORE of the social and moral norms of the society, outside of legal mandates. That's not a position against the moral values of social conservatives; it's a position about how we use, or refuse to use, the secular law to comvert every moral position to a legal (state authority) position.
No they aren't, any politician promoting polygamy and homosexual marriage would not be a conservative, and any libertarian wanting to forbid them would not be a libertarian.
"No they aren't, any politician promoting polygamy and homosexual marriage would not be a conservative, and any libertarian wanting to forbid them would not be a libertarian."
To not desire to put the law against something, is not, on an individua basis, a desire to "promote or advocate" something as morally right, or what one ought to do.
For example: The law permits people to smoke cigarettes. I think it is not only bad for their health but morally wrong, but I oppose the law making all cigarette smoking illegal. That is not a postion that seeks to promote or advocate smoking. It is a position that respects limits to the law, if Liberty is to be protected - i.e. Libertarian.
I.E. hard lefty that pushes the radical agenda of the left and thinks that relabeling it libertarian tricks conservatives.
The libertarian Supreme court, i.e. the Earl Warren court, the most beloved court in history to the lefties, despised by conservatives, and fairly credited by them as being the most destructive.
There is little about the Warren court that I would call Libertarian.
Yet The Warren court is famous for being liberal and "libertarian", and is described as such.
Could you provide some cases which would support your theory? Saying "described as such" doesn't make your case. Who describes it as such? What basis do they have in saying so?
I'll cite something. Roe v. Wade and its companion case, Doe v. Bolton, transferred the question of whether or not abortion was murder or not from the states to decide to the federal government, supercedeing the authority of the states in favor of a massive centralized power.
It is likely that as a conservative, you would, for example, not see a massive central government that uses its power to do what, in your mind, would be good as an intrusion. Therefore, if the massive centralized government used its power in matters of authority where it constitutionally doesn't belong, for example, regulating marriage or abortion, you wouldn't see it as a problem. However, when the opposite happens, you would see it as intrusion. Likewise, a court which makes abortion legal no matter how it does this is probably seen by you as libertarian, when it is in fact the complete opposite of libertarianism.
The fact of the matter is that there are four federal crimes mentioned in the constitution. Piracy, treason, counterfiting, and slaveholding. Everything else should be left to the states to handle under the 10th amendment, including murder. If there is a similar federal crime, it is simply overlap and redundant. Abortion should be a state crime. The remedy for the big government anti-libertarian Roe v. Wade / Doe v. Bolton would be for state governments to nullify the decision as unconstitutional and to implement state laws which consider abortion as murder.
I'll cite you an example of the remedy. In the 1850s, Wisconsin was a free state where slaveholding was illegal, even though the federal law (which supercedes state law, right?) made slaveholding legal. Consequently the Underground Railroad brought many escaping slaves to the state of Wisconsin. At the time, there was a federal law known as the Fugitive Slave Act. The act stated that escaped slaves would be rounded up by the state where they escaped to and sent back to their owners. The act subsidized slaveholding, because in theory, the cost of rounding up escaped slaves and buying new ones would eventually cost more than the cost of employing workers, which would end the instution of slavery peacefully and without a War Between the States or hundreds of thousands dead. Wisconsin decided to have nothing to do with the Fugitive Slave Act, nullifying it and declaring that any federal authorities who apprehended escaped slaves in their state would be charged with kidnapping. Illinois, home of Lincoln, on the other hand, not only complied with the Act but decided that any free blacks who entered Illinois would be apprehended, taken to Kentucky, and sold into slavery.
That was a long way to get to it but the point is that any decision that centralizes authority cannot be described as libertarian. The most famous decision of the Warren court is anti-libertarian. I guess I'm confused by your post. Could you elaborate?
"and 'libertarian', and is described as such"
"described as such"? By whom?
The essence of Libertarianism is not a philosophy that argues AGAINST the values of social Conservatives; it is, instead, a philosophy that argues in favor of natural limitations of law and promotion of Liberty wherein one can be a social conservative in their personal affairs, or a social liberal in their personal affairs, as their conscience dictates. The problem for both social conservatives and modern day Liberals is they both want to bring the state into making "legal" and "illegal" many things the Libertarian would leave for the individual to decide; and when they can, both Liberals and social conservatives want to use the institutions of the state to take on the role of advocating for their social positions and advocating against the social positions of others - where again, the Libertarian wants to remove the state from having such power in the first place.
In the essence of Conservatism, Libertarians are more Conservative than many social conservatives, as many social conservatives don't really want the state diminished, they only want it diminished as regards oppostion to their social values.
"The Warren Court was committed to the promotion of a libertarian and egalitarian society." http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Warren+Court
"Throughout the remainder of his political career, Warren publicly defended his action, which stands in stark contrast to his role as one of the staunchest civil libertarians ever to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court." http://what-when-how.com/social-sciences/warren-earl-social-science/
"Most of the accolades of the Warren Court, Vestal points out, are ascribed to what the Court accomplished after justices appointed by President Kennedy joined the Court's liberal bloc to form a solid majority of libertarians who usually upheld civil liberties claims against the government. This consolidation of the libertarian bloc occurred before the beginning of the 1962 term when the Court the public identifies as "the Warren Court" came into being." http://books.google.com/books/about/The_Eisenhower_court_and_civil_liberties.html?id=XrSRAAAAMAAJ
" While Warren's record as a civil libertarian on the Supreme Court had cast his role as an architect of the relocation policy in an ironic light," http://www.vqronline.org/articles/1979/autumn/white-unacknowledged-lesson/
"Engel vs. Vitale (1962).—A strongly civil-libertarian court, headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren, ruled that reciting nondenominational prayers written by government officials violated the Establishment Clause." http://www.witchvox.com/white/wscourt_schools.html
"Warren did not immediately manifest the libertarian activism that would eventually result in all-out assaults on the Court, accompanied by the distribution of 'Impeach Earl Warren' bumper stickers and Warren Impeachment Kits. By mid-1956 it had become crystal clear that, as Chief Justice of the United States, Earl Warren was in the process of providing leadership for a libertarian activist approach to public law and personal rights that went far beyond the Eisenhower brand of progressive Republicanism. The Chief Justice, usually with Justices Black and Douglas (and later Brennan) by his side, wrought a constitutional revolution in the application of the Bill of Rights to the states; in the generous interpretation of specific provisions of criminal-justice safeguards for the individual; in the application and interpretation of the Civil War amendments; in the liberalization of the right to foreign travel, to vote, the right to run for office, and the right to fair representation, to 'one person, one vote'; an elevated commitment to freedom of expression; and in many other sectors of the freedom of the individual. He was the Chief Justice par excellence-second in institutional-leadership greatness only to John Marshall himself. Like Marshall he understood and utilized the tools of pervasive and persuasive power leadership available to him; he knew how to bring men together, how to set a tone, and how to fashion a mood. He was a wise man and a warm, kind human being. He was his Court, the Court." http://www.humanistsofutah.org/humanists/EarlWarren.html
I personally don't care about the issue of prayer in public schools. I feel that if someone subjects their child to a school run by big government, they are going to get what they get. It is all pretty much soiled in my opinion. If someone sees the idea of prayer in public schools being struck down as libertarian, they should take it with a grain of salt because the idea of public schools is anti-libertarian in the first place. If people want to educate their children properly, then they belong at home or at a religious or private school that parents can trust. And there shouldn't be school taxes.
Upholding civil liberties claims against the government is a good thing. Every blind judge can find a nut once in a while. For example, all of the left-wing justices voting in the recent Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church v. EEOC, a unanimous decision. Good grief, Kagan and Alito even wrote a joint concurring opinion.
The reason why upholding civil liberties claims against the government is a good thing is that it is wrong for a powerful government to run your life. I shouldn't have to go into too much detail on that, but essentially, freedom means freedom, and if your natural rights come from God then man doesn't have the authority to take them away. But a court that upholds those rights from time to time isn't necessarily a libertarian court, any more than Kagan is a right wing religious conservative for supporting Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church.
Once again, you support my blind squirrel theory with Warren's support of relocation camps during WWII. Big government messing up the lives of Japanese Americans. You might agree with Michelle Malkin that it was necessary, but it is not something a libertarian would do. Just as supporting Roe/Doe is not something a libertarian would do.
The "impeach" effort in 1956 was perhaps due to Warren's recent role in Brown v. Board of Education. Once again, a central government sets policy for the states (although I think that with public education, you takes your chances when it comes to big government pushing people around). Did they have the power to do so? No more so than the federal government that forced policy on the states as they did with the Fugitive Slave Act, or Dred Scott v. Sanford or Plessy v. Ferguson.
Plessy, interestingly enough, was brought forth by private companies, specifically train companies, who were trying to get rid of a Louisiana law that harmed their ability to do business. They were specifically required to carry at least four train cars, two for white and two for black (one smoking and one non-smoking each). Train companies couldn't afford to run 4 cars on every train, they preferred to run as many cars as there were tickets sold. Big government Supreme Court supported Big Government Louisiana who were jerking around people and private companies. If the trains didn't have to run under regulations they didn't want, they would have integrated their trains and then, there is another private solution a problem where some feel only government can solve problems.
Warren being compared to Marshall is a laugh, and another sign that Warren wasn't nearly as libertarian as everyone says. Thanks to Marshall, most people think that only the Supreme Court can decree that things are unconstitutional. A read of the Constitution and the 9th and 10th amendments shows this to not be the case. Certainly the Supreme Court can do it, but the authority does not reside with them alone. If it did, then Wisconsin wouldn't have been able to fight the Fugitive Slave Act.
If anyone wants to know my opinion on Cato, its simple. It is inside the Beltway and it has been corrupted by power like everything else. It all went downhill when they purged Rothbard.
Therefore, I do not choose a side in the Crane/Koch battle because I want them both to lose.
Yes, everyone says his was the greatest libertarian court.
I am happy to learn that I am no longer included in the meaning of the term "everyone."
Although, how many of the courts were truly libertarian? Since Marshall, they have all been about building up big government at the expense of everything else, so perhaps you could be right.
But that is like having the distinction as the world's tallest midget. Which, I think, is a musician named Dewey Cox.
I don't know what you mean by the "everyone" remark.
The left/libertarians loved the libertarian court though, famed libertarian Noam Chomsky probably did as well.
Noam Chomsky, Bill Maher, Earl Warren, well known libertarians, you I haven't heard of.
It's a question of what it the government's responsibility. The question is this: Is it the government's job to legislate morality and moreover can it? As a Bible believer I have no doubt that both polygamy and sodomy are wrong; and I think politicians in favor of either do not posses the moral fiber to be a good leader. I do however wonder at the effectiveness of laws against both, do they really change anyone's behavior?
The underlying moral problem is not decided in government,but the hearts of men. If our laws are a reflection of our society then changing the laws and polishing the mirror won't cleanse society. If you read the Bible and believe as many do that we are in the last days then you know the world is in a time apostasy and that man "as in the days of Noah," "did that which was right in his own eyes." Matthew 24:37,
Laws aren't going to stop that change. Certainly I can personally oppose it and stand against it without forbidding other from sinning.
The same is true of the other erstwhile point of contention: drug policy. Does the federal government's anti-drug policy actually cut down on drug use, are the federal laws a violation of states rights? The libertarian in me will be cynically laughing if the Supreme Court uses the federal drug law cases as precedence to shove Obamacare down our throats.
I find it a complex and fascinating issue. I'm no full fledged Proudhon following Anarchist; I do however think conservatives should think long and hard before they suggest a big government solution to any problem.
Ping to comments
Karl Rove and John McCain call themselves "conservwtives" despite all of the evidence to that contrary.
Keep voting for bigger government and less freedom RINO's. you may as well be a Democrat.
Comments? More like typical "we're afraid of real freedom/personal responsibility" anti-liberty crap.
I ended up in some weird time warp thing on my Nook. I hit News/Activism in the side bar like i always do and got the feed from October 2011.
I didnt pick up on it until about halfway down the page and after I pinged my friend. Sorry for the confusion.

We're super big fans of pop star Justin Bieber -- I'm sure you are too -- but Nintendo, apparently, is not. Bieber's people recently asked Nintendo for permission to use a bit of the iconic Super Mario Brothers theme in an upcoming Bieber-riffic Bieber-fest of a 3D concert movie and lifestyle documentary called Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. (I'm expecting a generation-defining film like The Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter.) Nintendo said some variation of, "Nope. Sorry, Biebs."
John Chu, director of Don't Look Back... er, I mean Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, tweeted the following recently:
"aw C'mon Nintendo! Y won't u let us use the Mario theme for 15 secs in the @Justinbieber movie...talk about free advertising passed up. Oops"
Y indeed?
Nintendo, who has licensed its name and characters to any number of products (including, as Joystiq points out, shampoo, pinatas, slippers and Captain Lou Albano) has yet to publicly respond to this story, but one thing is for sure, this is the most important thing that has ever happened in all of human history.
Also: I like to think that Justin Bieber has enough fans that simply posting his name in our website will result in a flood of traffic from pre-teen girls. Justin Bieber. Justin Bieber. Justin Bieber. Justin Bieber. Justin Bieber. (Crap! I think I inadvertently summoned Bieber, like Candyman. A wild Bieber appears!)

Summer traveling in class with money and style
- 4:37 pm Wednesday, May 29th, 2013 by Dian Vujovich
It's that time of year again when school is almost out, vacation almost in and the stock market on a tear or one sort or another. I'll begin with the market and then move on to travel.
There's no getting past the fact the S&P 500 has had a heck of a good year. Fingers crossed that rush continues. But until the future becomes the past, here's something worth remembering: Friday, May 24th was the 100th stock trading day of this year. According to BTN Research, there have been 62 days this index thus far has closed up and 38 days in [More]

As usual, the first scrimmage answers some of the coaches' questions but also produces a few more.
"The scrimmage went about like I expected for us only working together for two weeks. We are forced at this point to be very basic on both sides of the ball," said Beeville head coach Jimmie Mitchell.
The Trojan offense struggled against a tough Sinton defense on Friday on the artificial turf at Pirate Stadium. The passing game hooked up on occasion but not frequently enough. QB Kremers missed a few receivers, and the receivers dropped a few on-target throws from Kremers' long left arm.
"We were pleased with the way Cameron threw the ball," Mitchell said.
"We had a few drives stopped because of dropped passes."
The Trojan defense played well in their second stint on the field and got after a much faster Pirate squad.
"We saw a lot of bright spots. Our number one defense in the second set of 12 plays held them scoreless; that's something we can build on," said Mitchell.
"Jacob Flores played well, as did Tanner Trevino on defense, but our tackling must improve."
The Trojans host Orange Grove on Friday night and coach Mitchell hopes for continued improvement. The freshman and JV squads kick off the evening at 5 and 6 o'clock, respectively. The varsity will take the field at Veterans Memorial Stadium at about 7 p.m.
"We hope to execute a lot better in this second scrimmage. For the majority of our kids, last week's scrimmage was their first varsity experience," Mitchell said.
The Skidmore-Tynan Bobcats traveled to Yorktown in a three-way scrimmage with the Wildcats and Woodsboro Eagles.
"Overall, I was pretty pleased with our kids. The first scrimmage is usually one that you really don't know until it's over how it will go," said head coach John Livas.
"Our kids came out and showed a lot of effort and no quit. These are things that you can't coach, and it was great to see."
The Bobcat offense moved the ball on the ground under their new Slot-T program.
"Offensively, we saw a lot of good things with a new system and a lot of guys learning new positions. Our offensive line did a great job allowing our backs to find a hole," Livas said.
"I felt we moved the ball well; we had a few drives that stalled because of mental mistakes, but this is correctable."
The defense also showed progress, but the coaches would like to see a little more sound tackling technique from the "D".
The Bobcats host the Poth Pirates on Thursday night in their second scrimmage. The JV begins at 5 p.m. with the varsity taking over Bobcat Stadium at 6 o'clock.
The Pettus Eagles were also on the road against host Benavides and La Villa Cardinals.
"We showed improvement and significant growth in strength and team effort. We started this season making sure our boys understood the value of a total team effort, something we lacked last year due to all the changes and loss of seniors," said head coach Dan Garza.
"We emphasized that everyone contributes and everyone's best effort matters in all competition this year. I feel this was the most improved area seen in this scrimmage."
The Eagle offense clicked for five touchdowns by three skill position players, John Constante, Anthony Mendoza and Josh Herrera.
"Our quarterback position is one that stood out as well, taking 6-foot, 235-pound Matt Gonzales from the starting offensive line position last year and moving him to quarterback. The move not only gave us a strong arm in our passing game but also added strength to the blocking/running we require our QB to undertake," said Garza.
Defensively, the Eagles will count on improving play from everyone.
"We are finding improvements from sophomore Gilbert Chavez's aggressive play," the coach said.
Nose guard Seth Harris at 6-3 and 300 pounds is a load up front. Veteran senior Richard Gomez will be at defensive end along with 6-1, 220-pound sophomore Diego Delgado on the other side of the line.
"I feel a lot better after this year's first scrimmage, and I am very proud of our players' and coaches' efforts," Garza said.
The Eagles travel to Karnes City on Thursday evening to scrimmage the Badgers in their final scrimmage before starting the regular season on Aug. 30.

A chef with a garden of his own; Relishing summer's bounty at Hotel Fauchere
Bates is also an accomplished sommelier. Right now, he's working on his Master Sommelier exam, which will include a blind taste test of six wines.
Bates is proud of his food. "We try to have a connection with everything we serve. We cure all of our own meats in-house. During tomato time, we probably harvest 150 pounds a week—enough for all of our restaurants, but also, we make an entire year of Bloody Mary mix from the farm."
Bates is a strong supporter of the local food movement. "It's important," he said. "It supports small farmers, stimulates local economies, makes people more aware of where their food comes from."
The hotel's restaurants feature many Pennsylvania wines as well, including Pinnacle Ridge and Galen Glen. "We do winemakers dinners (on Fridays) and food and wine paring workshops, too," Bates added.
On Saturday, June 1, from 12 noon to 6 p.m., Hotel Fauchère will host the Milford Wine and Food Faire, outdoors behind the hotel, at the corner of Catharine Street and Blackberry Alley.
"Meet the Chef/Meet the Vintners" workshops will be held indoors. Tickets cost $20 in advance and $30 on the day of the event.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Title says it all
from training hard? or perhaps having a tragic thing happen in his life to unlock it?
they never explained that so who knows
Lol, its like asking how Hashirama defeated Madara and also how Rikodou defeated juubi... :D
He was in the Root. Guess what they do when they are young to there friends. Kill them. That's how he got it!
He trained hard or something...

Yea i know but he said that itachi was his best friend .
Who knows :/... Probably won't be explained
Unlocked it maybe from killing someone in root or anbu
Go tweet Kishi.
nobody knows
He killed itachi before sasuke did
it's impossible to say however the only thing we can go on is the fact that it's been stated the only possible way is to suffer a great trauma that is the only thing we can say for certain, however i don't think the details of his suffering has any relevance to the story.
