The first step toward what it hopes is a long Division VI playoff run turned into an opportunity to spread the wealth last night for Ready.
The Silver Knights, who last won a playoff game in 2008 but were fifth in this year's final state poll and the second seed in Region 21, reached a regional semifinal with a 48-6 win over seventh-seeded Oak Hill at Upper Arlington.
Five players scored touchdowns in the first half, with three TDs coming on passes, as Ready (10-1) built a 42-0 lead.
"We monitor our touches, and when we checked at halftime, everybody had at least three touches," coach Joel Cutler said. "Akili (Taylor) only had 11 carries, DeAndre (Golden) and Bran-den (Bailey) had three or four touches and (quarterback Matt) Yoho even had a couple carries."
The Silver Knights made it 7-0 on a 15-yard run by Myles Fowler with 8:40 left in the opening quarter and took a 14-0 lead on a 3-yard run by Nickolas Chapman with 57.9 seconds left in the quarter. The second score was set up by a fumble recovery by Connor Lancia.
In the second quarter, Yoho had touchdown passes of 18 yards to Fowler, 31 yards to Hunter Clanin and 79 yards to Kelly Culbertson. Golden added a 7-yard touchdown run with 1:57 left in the first half. Taylor scored on a 7-yard run with 3:41 to go in the third quarter and finished with 113 yards on 18 carries.
While Fowler scored two touchdowns and added an interception on defense, Yoho finished 8 of 11 passing for 190 yards and three touchdowns.
Fowler and Golden each sat out the first five games this season after transferring from Westland and Watterson, respectively, but neither has had trouble fitting in offensively. Cutler said Fowler and Golden were teammates of several members of the team at the youth level.
"I wouldn't trade (being on this team) for the world," Fowler said. "I've got the best coaches and teammates."
A Ready defense led by Chapman, Fowler and Virginia Tech recruit Brady Taylor allowed just three first-half first downs by Oak Hill (8-3). The only touchdown the Knights gave up was with their second-team defense on the field.
"We had a good week (defensively) last week and wanted it to carry over," Chapman said. "We were hoping for the shutout, but it's OK. We're just trying to take it one step at a time until we get to week five (of the playoffs)."

St. Vincent Pallottiano And His Youth Apostolate (1795 - 1850) (Canonized 1963) St. Vincent Pallotti was born in Rome, April 21, 1795, the third child of ten His parents were Peter-Paul Pallotti and his wife Maddalena. From his earliest years his devout parents took him to daily Mass and religious devotions in the many neighborhood churches of Rome. For a time Vincent had trouble with his studies until his mother sought the advice of a close friend, Father Fazzini. He advised her to make a novena to the Holy Spirit with Vincent. The Novena completed, something clicked in the boy's head. He became the brightest student in his class. Vincent had an innate desire to do what he could to help the poor. Before he would give them a coin he would wash it in the nearby fountain. "When I give to the poor," he would say, "I give the coin to Christ. I want it to look nice." He felt called to do penance. He ate little. When his parents informed Father Fazzini of the penances, he replied, "Let us leave Vincent undisturbed. It appears to be a higher call than we have been given. It seems to come from God." Vincent's first registration in a religious youth group was at his grade school of San Pantalenone, staffed by the Piarist Fathers. The school had been hallowed by the presence of its holy founder, St. Joseph Calasanz who formed a youth apostolate in Counter-reformation Rome. Our Lady had appeared to Joseph Calasanz when he was a teacher in the classroom where Vincent now attended. Joseph had been instrumental in restoring both eye and eyesight to a pupil whose eye had been jabbed out by a pencil thrust into it by an angry classmate. Vincent's Marian development was thus well nurtured in this school with the solemn observances of our Lady's feasts and the devout use of a small rosary of twelve Hail Mary's called the "Crown of Twelve Stars," which St. Calasanz had much promoted among the students of his schools. Vincent was quite religious and of a serious nature. Yet, he loved to play ball with his friends in front of his father's grocery store. Early every morning he walked to Santa Maria in Vallicella. There he put on his cassock and surplice as an altar boy. Under the altar of this church there was reposed the remains of the great youth worker, St. Philip Neri. In the days before St. John Bosco, the name of St. Philip Neri would first come to mind whenever any program was being instituted for youth. Pallotti was often referred to in later life as the "Second St. Philip Neri." St. Vincent became a member of a more advanced youth group at the Church of Santa Maria del Pianto. It met every Sunday and Holy Day for catechetical instruction, Marian devotions and recreation. It was under the direction of diocesan priests and among them was St. Gaspar del Bufalo. Vincent as a major seminarian and young priest succeeded St. Gaspar in the directorship of the group. Once when he was on a summer vacation, Father Pallotti wrote to his youth group reminding them that St. Philip Neri had said: "The most insane thing in the whole world was not to want to be a saint. Sanity is to take every means to achieve sanctity and be pleasing to God. When we think of the infinite reward God will give us for that - it is sheer insanity to do the opposite!" Vincent's high school studies were accomplished at the world-famed Collegio Romano which had been established by St. Ignatius Loyola. Among its graduates were the paragons of youthful holiness, St. Aloysius Gonzaga and St. John Berchmans. In Vincent's time the Jesuits had been suppressed for several years and replaced by other clergy. The profound tradition of the Jesuits who had taught there, and the magnificent altar tomb of St. Gonzaga, could not be ignored and was very much kept alive. Pallotti chose St. John Berchmans, a Jesuit seminarian, as his role model to imitate on the path to holiness, particularly in his love for Mary in her Immaculate Conception. Collegio Romano, as all Jesuit schools once did, had a distinctive youth organization known as the "Sodality of the Blessed Virgin." Because the school's unit was the first Sodality, it bore the distinguished title: "Prima Priaria." Vincent cherished his membership in it and the group heightened his Marian devotion all the more as he practiced it in union with his peers who took their devotion to Mary very seriously. After his entrance into the Sapienza University as a theology student, he decided upon a very bold and daring move. Despite the very negative reaction of many toward the clergy, now that he was a seminarian, he chose to wear his cassock and collar in public. He was clearly visible as a man of the Church when most diocesan and non-monastic orders wore a garb that resembled very much what comes to our minds when we think of Benjamin Franklin. For him it was a sign and defiance of the secularized world and its anti-clericalism. One day Pallotti was leading his youth group at Santa Maria del Pianto to some function elsewhere in Rome. An irate diocesan priest, himself dressed in the "Benjamin Franklin" style garb, sharply upbraided the seminarian as a hypocrite and phony for his use of the cassock. Vincent let the priest rant and rave on. In a few minutes he slipped away from the group and was found in a corner of the sacristy of Santa Maria del Pianto on his knees reciting the Te Deum in thanksgiving for this mistreatment for what he believed was right. As Vincent neared ordination he was introduced into apostolic work among the farmers who brought their products to Rome from the surrounding towns and villages to sell at the markets. Vincent was assigned to the hay sellers. He organized the young farmers and their children into classes in the evening and helped them to learn how to read and write. He also prepared many of them for the sacraments. From this experience of being a volunteer, he would later encourage others to volunteer to spread the kingdom of God. Vincent Pallotti was ordained in May, 1818, at the Lateran Basilica. He said his first Mass on the following day in the Jesuit Church in Frascati. He was not assigned to a specific church or rectory. Instead, he lived at home with his family and continued as a teacher at the Sapienza University. In the world of college students he was very well liked. He offered tutoring to those who had found their studies difficult. He began a very successful apostolate of street preaching on the steps of local churches and was able to attract large numbers of people into church afterwards for confession. In his travels Vincent became aware of a number of young workers whose work hours prevented them from attending daytime classes. He soon gathered these workers at a nearby parish hall and recruited volunteer teachers to give them a basic education. He and several others gave the religious instruction. In a matter of a few years the project mushroomed into many other "night schools" and was relocated to more spacious quarters. By now, 500 young workers were enrolled. At this point Pallotti turned over his project to the supervision of the Christian Brothers to ensure that it would be properly managed. After ten years at the Sapienza University, the diocesan authorities turned to Father Pallotti for assistance with a very pressing youth problem in Trastevere. This section of Rome was a difficult one. While it had produced saints as lovely as St. Cecelia and St. Frances of Rome, it had also produced many rogues and toughened people. It has been ever the spot where urchins and ragamuffins run rampant. There was now a great need for a kind, patient and sincere priest who could see beyond brokenness and be capable of drawing the best out of these disorderly youth. They needed to be given the most elemental religious instruction. They needed to be prepared for First Holy Communion. In those days First Communion was received when a child was about twelve years old. This new assignment would mean relinquishing his teaching position at the University and saying goodbye to his favorite youth group at Santa Maria del Pianta. Father Vincent knew that the assignment would bring many souls to God and strengthen the faith of these Trastevere urchins and so he accepted it willingly. He was given space in the Ponterotto retreat house which had formerly been the family home of St. Frances of Rome. The rough Trastevere teens, who could have matched any scugnizi that Charles Dickens could describe with his pen, now got the attention they deserved in order to set them in the right direction. They responded with extraordinary cooperation. Pallotti did not neglect the nobility nor the upper class and he provided retreats for them at another retreat house nearby. His purpose was to inculcate into these men who would be the leaders of the future, a love of virtue, a sense of honor and integrity coupled with a sense of responsibility for those who had less than they. His knack for getting volunteers involved in his many projects, expanded beyond his concern for youth when he began his broad vision of the UNION OF THE CATHOLIC APOSTOLATE which strove to accomplish a revival of the Catholic Faith among Catholics and a rekindling of charity toward achieving the salvation of one's neighbor. In his desired UNION, men and women of every social strata, church folk of every rank and religious order would work in harmonious collaboration for the missionary endeavors of the Church. Moreover, the poor, the aged and ailing, the sick and bedridden could offer their prayers and sufferings for the success of the venture. Pope Gregory XVI heartily approved the new movement and it soon had hundreds and hundreds of members. Not long after its foundation and its first experience of the Epiphany festival as the visible exemplification of its spiritual ideals, philosophy and objectives, the UNION was confronted not by ceremony but by calamity. Deadly cholera struck in 1837 and decimated the population of the Eternal City. Not even Vincent's father was spared. His director, Father Fazzini and his friend, St. Gaspar del Buffalo died. In its wake hundreds were left homeless and hungry. Orphaned girls roamed the streets. It was their pitiable plight that wounded the heart of Vincent Pallotti who was himself strenuously working day and night and round the clock to care for the destitute and abandoned. What grieved him most was that these orphan girls were being taken advantage of by the unscrupulous. He and a trusted friend, Mr. James Salvati, got the use of a small, former seminarians' residence and fixed it up to receive the orphan girls. A corps of carefully chosen volunteers looked after the girls and taught them the domestic skills they would later need in life. This home became known as the Pious House of St. Agatha. It is still in operation today behind what is now the Angelicum University in Rome. In its chapel Vincent placed the large painting of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Pious House of St. Agatha occupied much of the Saint's attention and his visits there were a delight for the young girls who loved him dearly. His lay volunteers later became the nucleus of the Pallottine Sisters who would devote much time to the education and Christian formation of young people. He began another orphanage near the Vatican. It later was taken over by another religious order, and a third, at Velletri, was already in the planning stage just before Vincent died. Not the least of St. Vincent's contributions to the apostolate among the young was the magnificent care he gave to the students preparing for the priesthood at the Roman Seminary, Propaganda Fide (where the students from foreign lands came to study), the national colleges of England, Scotland and those of the various Eastern Churches whose students studied in Rome. His was a welcome presence and many looked back at the guidance St. Vincent had given them from as far away as Persia and Baltimore, Maryland, whose Archbishop Martin J. Spalding was able to write forty years later of his spiritual mentor that all Rome regarded him as a saint and a man of profound faith in the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ. "No cross or aggravation could ruffle him and the memory of his holiness clusters as a halo around my heart!" John Henry Newman, much admired by the young students of Oxford, had resigned his Anglican ministry and entered the Catholic Church. He and several others were sent to Rome to complete studies for ordination to the Catholic priesthood. Newman believed Pallotti to be a very holy man and said the same to the then Archdeacon of the Anglican Diocese of Chichester. Manning had come on visit to Rome to examine its claims "on location." Manning went to visit Pallotti and came away with the same conviction. Manning spoke of hearing a group of young men singing a Marian hymn as they passed through the street and was told that it was one of the groups from Pallotti's Night Schools on their way home. Both Newman and Manning later were made Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church. Youth work was not the only part of Pallotti's apostolate though there is more than enough of it to merit a consideration of its own. He continued his duties as a diocesan priest and led his UNION OF THE CATHOLIC APOSTOLATE in its generous outreach to provide for the local needs of the Church and for those of the foreign missions. He was a great retreat master and preacher. Long lines waited their turn outside his confessional. Yet Pallotti made time for daily visits to the city hospitals and to the jails and prisons where his smile and compassion brought a ray of sunshine to those incarcerated there. He badgered the prison officials incessantly until he had obtained the separation of the youthful offenders from the adults in prison. "If you want to rehabilitate youth and keep them out of jail in the future, then give them the chance to do without a thorough training in criminality they are sure to receive from their elders here!" And he was listened to with respect by the pr! ! ison authorities, and with thank fulness from those who would now have a new lease on life. Vincent is still remembered for his unstinting generosity to the prisoners condemned to death. He would spend the entire night with them. He was their last friendly presence at the scaffold. Amid the hubbub and hurry burly of such gruesome scenes, it was he who calmly held the crucifix before their eyes as the headsman's axe swiftly descended. Popes sought his advice and knelt for their own confession before him. Soldiers in their military barracks responded to their beloved priest with extraordinary respect. For those at death's door he was an angel of mercy as he brought the sacraments of the Church and encouragement to trust in God's goodness until the very end. Only once is it recorded that his contact with youth was a failure. A group of loud, boisterous wiseguys were standing before a picture of Our Lady and their language was not of the type one would expect to hear in a convent sacristy! Vincent went up to them and asked them to stop out of respect for the Blessed Mother's picture. The haughty braggarts who feared neither God, man nor beast, stood up to the young priest in the mistaken hope of besting him. The ringleader jeered: "Yeah, Father! What's she going to do about it, kill us?" Suddenly a look of horror came over Vincent's face as he saw into the near future. "Young man you are a fool to continue like this. You will be dead in less than a few minutes. Repent while there is time. At that the teenager let out a stream of profanity that would have twisted the tail of a stone lion. Suddenly he collapsed unconscious to the ground. His astonished following of juvenile delinquents rushed to revive him. They were shocked out of ! ! their wits. "He's dead, Father! My God, he's dead!" By use of a clever disguise Vincent was able to get near a young man who was a revolutionist and had promised to kill any priest who came near him. When the man fell asleep with rifle in hand and pistol beneath the pillow, Pallotti removed them and put the cross in his hand. Later the man awoke, astonished and made his confession to Father Vincent and died about a week later reconciled to the Lord. St. Vincent Pallotti died in 1850 surrounded by a handful of followers which now numbers thousands of priests, brothers and sisters and an even more vast number of lay people committed to the apostolate. He was canonized in 1963 by Pope John XXIII as a model for all active priests and for encouraging the lay people to become more active in the mission of the Church. This year his Pallottine Family throughout the world are celebrating the 200th anniversary of his birth. For further information on St. Vincent Pallotti, please write to Pallottine Fathers, Blue Mound Road, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Sheriff discusses budget options
Fri, Apr 4th, 2003
Posted in Features
Posted in Features
"We are looking at some cuts, but not to hurt the staff," stated Fillmore County�s Sheriff Jim Connolly, as he addressed the Fillmore County Board on Tuesday regarding budget cuts, courtesy of the state of Minnesota.
Connolly said he�s working on potential areas for tightening numbers but wasn�t ready to present them in a public meeting. This came in response to Commissioner Chuck Amunrud asking if the sheriff would be cutting any staff. Amunrud also requested statistics regarding Spring Valley�s current deputy contract with the county as the city was looking for options to save money. Sheriff Connolly explained that there are three full time deputies with a couple of part-time people filling gaps. The city could cut out the part time help if necessary. The initial rumor of the state sending back prisoners with less than a year�s time to serve, to their respective counties seems to have fallen to the wayside. That�s good news. Not only would the county have been burdened with the cost, but also the jail is already double bunking prisoners at times. On the downside, probation violators may be expected to remain in the county rather than being sent to the state Department of Corrections . Another concern Connolly has regards youth offenders. Connolly said those juveniles convicted of a crime and held to those standards are in a kind of limbo. One does not want to see those individuals placed with convicted adults. Where do they go if there is no juvenile hall? A partial solution, depending on the conviction for both juveniles and probation offenders, is more home monitoring. Those who qualify for the program pay for the right to be on it, which allows them to work outside the jail and still be monitored by the sheriff�s department with curfews attached. This would be considerably cheaper than the $60-$70 per day charge for remaining in jail. It is up Judge Robert Benson to decide who qualifies for this program. Sheriff Connolly shared his concern of less funding for Police Officer Standard Training (POST). This cost approximately $400 or more per officer and has been an efficient tool in cultivating better officers. "Can we partner with another county?" asked Commissioner Helen Bicknese, hoping to keep current programs, yet spreading the costs. The county has already done so with other departments. "I can�t see it happening unless you put out more money now and get it back later," Connolly said. Commissioner Randy Dahl suggested a joint jail with Houston. There would be a lot to consider with such a project, though. Convenient location and staffing top the list. Connolly noted that Decorah would be an ideal joint-venture as they have a half-completed jail that is half full. The glitch is that that county�s attorney won�t allow it due to potential liability problems. Other related Sheriff Department matters: �Commissioners Marc Prestby and Amunrud attended a DFO (Dodge, Fillmore, Olmsted) meeting which indicated that some of the more stringent rules may be put on the back burner in order to loosen up county money. Fillmore�s share of the pie is $117,000 of the $5 million budget. There has already been a 5.71% levy increase. The comprehensive plan between the three counties was approved. �The board questioned a recent incident during a court proceeding whereby a victim�s son physically retaliated against the accused after Judge Robert Benson passed sentence. By chance, a deputy was present and subdued the individual quickly. Sheriff Connolly stated this was an isolated incident and the county shouldn�t change policy because of it. Other business �County Coordinator Karen Brown asked the board to consider waiving the current practice of advertising for three weeks in regard to the full time Assistant County Attorney. This is due to the short time frame in which to fill the position before County Attorney Brett Corson leaves for active duty. The board had expected to see the advertising already commence this week, but due to a glitch in the attorney�s office, this hadn�t happened. It was decided to go with the three-week policy and roll with whatever surfaces. �Reviewed an AMC video outlining potential cuts in Public Health as discussed by the department�s head, Sharon Serfling, at last week�s meeting. It stated that 33,000 people would lose health care coverage in 2004 and another 50,000 in 2005.

Irene Schweizer & Louis Moholo: Irene Schweizer & Louis Moholo
On Irene Schweizer & Louis Moholo we are treated to bouncy melodies, introspective interplay and narratives which speak loud and clear, as in the 1st track, titled "Free Mandela". Here and throughout, the often brilliant Moholo displays polyrhythmic acumen, which at this juncture is somewhat legendary. Ms Schweizer and Mr. Moholo generally cavort in unison as Moholo maintains the feverish pulse, which adds structure while enhancing the synchronous attack. Part of the magic lies within Moholo's utterly creative yet technically difficult utilization of snare, hi-hat and bass drum! Moholo projects odd-metered back beats with unusual approaches to tempo and measure yet on many an occasion provides tumultuous African style rhythms across his toms with passion and determination. "Mra" revolves around an affable melody perpetuated by Ms Schweizer's sweeping and amazingly quick chord progressions, that border free-jazz, mainstream and perhaps a dose of Professor Longhair style rock and roll. The 19 minute suite, "Exile" is a tour de force as these two masters display gobs of power and resolve while effortlessly whirling through a flurry of motifs, complete with all the twists and turns. The worldly approach and non-stop action is at times breathtaking.....It could not have been scripted any better! Highly recommended!! * * * * *

16 Cities That Are Leading the Way in the Climate Change Fight
Long before Congress started to take the threat of climate change seriously, American mayors were already recognizing the need to decrease fossil-fuel consumption, promote efficiency, and generally create more livable places.
Smith's move prompted a report in this weekend's New York Times, which hailed city-level sustainability efforts such as those showcased on Capitol Hill back in July. While the nation has long been more urban than rural -- in fact, an estimated two-thirds of Americans now live in
the nation's 100 biggest cities -- the Times cast some doubt on prior
portrayals of cities as proportionally significant energy consumers:
"Cities occupy two percent of the world's land mass yet contribute more than two-thirds of global greenhouse gas emissions," begins the Clinton Initiative's online explication of its C-40 program, which unites large cities across the globe in a commitment to reducing greenhouse gases. ...What was mentioned but not discussed by the Times is the Conference of Mayors' report [PDF] on 16 cities that have adopted innovative strategies to cut pollution. The entire report is worth a read (though New Yorkers, San Franciscans and Portland-ites may be disappointed to find their hometowns not listed), not least because most mayors single out land use and transportation planning as central elements of their policy-making on environment and energy.
But other researchers — including David Satterthwaite, a senior fellow at the International Institute for Environment and Development in London — have challenged those numbers, claiming that they are at best exaggerated and in reality unknowable.
Writing in the March 2009 issue of the United Nations Human Settlements Program's flagship magazine, Urban World, Mr. Satterthwaite and his colleague David Dodman, drawing on the most recent figures of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, estimate that cities contribute somewhere between 30 and 41 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

With the 2010 NBA Draft coming up in a week, it's the perfect time to look back on the other recent drafts. John Wall is projected to be the No. 1 overall pick, and Evan Turner is projected at No. 2, but the rest of the draft is unpredictable.
Wall just might end up being the best point guard in the game, but we'll have to wait to find that out if he has to split time with Gilbert Arenas.
So instead of looking forward, let's look back to see the which 10 players from the last five NBA drafts have blossomed into stars.

The Wilson Theater, as Music Hall was originally named, opened on December 9, 1928 with Florenz Ziegfeld's production of "Rosalie." The 1701-seat theater was designed by Mrs. Wilson and William Kapp and Smith, Hinchman & Grylls with state-of-the-art attributes and style. The curved wood-paneled walls, silk drapes, specially designed seats and carpet, and an orchestra pit for 40 musicians made The Wilson Theater a rival to nearly any major performance facility in the country. Many of the original pieces can still be seen in the theater today. Music Hall has been home over the years to Michigan Opera Theater and to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and in the 1950's became the world's 2nd Cinerama. From its establishment by philanthropist Matilda Dodge Wilson, Music Hall has had a proud tradition of offering cultural enrichment to all. The main auditorium at Music Hall remains among the best venues in the United States and has seen performances by stars such as Fred Astaire, Lucille Ball, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis, and more recently by Aretha Franklin, Anita Baker, Annie Lenox and hundreds more. Our Jazz Café is already regarded as one of the country's most important jazz venues. Music Hall continues to be an invaluable reminder of Mrs. Wilson's history and visionary philanthropy. Music Hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a member of the League of Historic Theaters.

Chicago-based artist Michael Rakowitz is opening a
food-truck this week, a date set to coincide with the ninth anniversary of the
beginning of the Iraq War.
Through his project Enemy Kitchen, Rakowitz has been using
Iraqi food and culture to break down cultural barriers for several years. He is
launching the food truck as part of the Smart Museum of Art's new exhibit
called "Feast: Radical Hospitality in Contemporary Art."
Who would have thought that contraception would become such a
major issue in this election year?
Or is it?
The U.S. Catholic bishops stress that the issue
is not really contraception but religious liberty--the right of Catholics, and
by extension any group of religious people, to practice and live out their
faith. That's a plausible argument, as the Century
editors acknowledged a few weeks ago, and
it is certainly one designed to gain allies among other religious people.
New today from the Century: Holding banks accountable, the conversation the bishops aren't having, more.
New today from the Century: Life and death in The Hunger Games, faith formed in the midst of betrayal, more.
lawyers for University of Virginia student George Huguely said
their client was a "stupid drunk," not a killer. He was widely known to have a
history of abusing alcohol--hardly a rarity on college campuses. Huguely was
convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 26 years in prison for
killing his girlfriend, Yeardley Love, after a day of nonstop drinking.
case highlighted yet again the problem of rampant alcohol abuse on campus--and
the situation of friends and bystanders who know perfectly well that someone
has a drinking problem but don't care or know how to intervene.

the company announced that pre-ordered devices were sold out.
The news came weeks after Apple's annual shareholders' meeting, at which it reported that it has nearly $100 billion in
its latest triumphs, the company continues to face criticism over labor
practices at Foxconn and its other suppliers in China. While such allegations
are not new, recent reports by This
American Life and the New
York Times have raised public awareness of long hours, low
wages, cramped dormitories and hazardous working conditions that have resulted
in deaths and injuries for Chinese employees.
New today from the Century: Richard Lischer on Holy Week and the art of losing, Apple's supply-chain issues, more.
The whole Kony-video thing seems to be over. Most of the
millions of viewers watched the half-hour film about Joseph

TMZ recently had a brief moment to speak with WWE legend and multi-time champion Edge and asked him what he thought of dogs wearing pantyhose.
There aren't a ton of fans who were dying to know the Rated-R Superstar's opinion on that particular issue, but now they know. For the record, he's against it.
If you have one question with a former wrestling star, you have to make it count, right?
You have to give TMZ points for originality. This was certainly not a question he'd been asked in previous interviews.
Edge was heading to a car just outside the LaGuardia Airport, rolling his suitcases along. A reporter from TMZ stopped him. He didn't ask about Edge's appearances on Haven or what else he's been up to since retiring from WWE. He also didn't ask about how Edge's neck is holding up.
The newest trend in China is indeed ridiculous and disturbingly so. It's strange, though, that TMZ went to Edge for his thoughts on this. He is neither an expert in dogs nor pantyhose, as far as we know.
Edge was extremely friendly in dealing with the reporter. He took the odd question in stride and gave the only logical answer. As cute and funny as folks may think putting their dogs in pantyhose is, Edge is right: You have to feel sorry for those pooches.
The next time TMZ gets a chance to ask Edge another question, perhaps it can find out how he feels about pets in Halloween costumes.

Western Sydney Wanderers coach Tony Popovic hailed his team's consistency after they defeated Melbourne Victory 2-1 away on Saturday.
Western Sydney Wanderers coach Tony Popovic hailed his team's consistency after they defeated Melbourne Victory 2-1 away on Saturday.
Wanderers struck through Iacopo La Rocca and Shinji Ono at AAMI Park, with a positive result against Ange Postecoglou's impressive Victory strengthening the Wanderers' title credentials.
They have now won six matches in succession and moved to within a point of Central Coast Mariners following the league leaders' loss away to Perth Glory.
Popovic expressed his pride at the Wanderers' ability to continue picking up points, and with just six games left until the finals begin, they now look set to push the Mariners all the way in the race for the premiership.
"Delighted with the performance and the result," he said.
"They don't always match, the performances and result, but we continue with a long run of games now where we've been performing well and today was another one. Tough environment against an excellent side, very happy to get the 2-1 win.
"We've been on a great run of six (wins) in a row, we've shown we can win consecutive games and we're certainly do our very best (to extend the run).
"The players are very grounded, we've got a tough game against Perth next week and we'll certainly prepare as well, if not better, than we did tonight. It's one game at a time and Perth's the next important challenge for us."
The Wanderers' colourful supporters were out in force for their first trip to Melbourne, playing their part in generating a tremendous atmosphere at AAMI Park, and Popovic reserved special mention for the new team's dedicated following.
"I want to make a special mention to our fans," he said.
"They've come here in huge numbers, they were here very early today, they've been singing and, I'm sure, enjoying themselves in Melbourne. It's great for the players and everyone involved with the club, 90 minutes before the game, to see our supporters here in huge numbers. They're special, we certainly appreciate it and (are) proud to have fans like that."

ya, i have to say that Safari4 is a major step above Safari3. The speed is definitely there, and right now is comparable to Chrome which is nice. Plus it has the better "Awesome Bar" from Firefox, so that's a big plus. Personally, I like the built-in dev tools of the new Safari better than Chrome, however the functionality is still a step below Firebug.
Overall I have to say that I'm really liking the new trend with browsers emphasizing speed and cleanliness over bloated features. Chrome really shook everyone up and for that I do thank Google. With all this competition it'll be really interesting to see how things shape up over the year.

News: SA & Swaziland drop fences
CONSTRUCTION is already underway on the first Transfrontier Park in the Lubombo Transfrontier Area and if everything goes according to plan, tourists could to stay there by 2010. Tourism ministers from Swaziland, Mozambique and South Africa have agreed to drop fences between the uPongolo Nature Reserve in SA and the Royal Jozini Big 6 in Swaziland, in November this year to form the Lake Jozini Transfrontier Park.
This will allow free movement of game between the parks and ultimately, says Roelie Kloppers, Project Coordinator for the Lubombo Transfrontier Conservation Area, free movement for tourists too. "Tourists will be able to move across the border without having to go through official border
posts but exactly how this will be implemented is still being discussed," says Kloppers
Once the park opens in November 2008, it will be open to visitors, but access from the Swaziland side will be through the Royal Jozini Big 6 project and people won't be able to cross the border
in their own vehicle. Game-drive vehicles will be made available by the park. The first phase of construction includes various gatehouses and entrances, 55km of game fencing, accommodation units for personnel and reception offices. In addition, accommodation lodges for private use will be built along with a 100m boating jetty (the start of a marina), luxury clubhouse and earthworks
on an 18-hole golf course. This is expected to be complete by March 2009, when the second phase will begin.
Plans for this stage include a luxury tented camp, hotel, 200-seater conference centre and casino.
The park has already been stocked with impala, zebra, waterbuck and giraffe. In November, when the fences are dropped, the area will be stocked with all the other species currently on the South African side, including white and black rhino. By 2010, the park is expected to be a Big 5 reserve. ut game viewing won't be the only draw card for international tourists, says Klopper. "The main attraction is the tiger fishing opportunities, but there will also be a range of outdoor recreational activities available, along with golf once the course is completed."
He adds that the park is ideally positioned to benefit from the flow of tourists from Kruger National
Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Usuthu-Tembe-Futi Transfrontier Conservation Area. Plans are also underway to form a second transfrontier park between South Africa and Mozambique, expected to open by 2010.

Not sure if this is the right place, but the fact is I'm mad at you, Telltale. Really mad. Why? Because of this.
I'm gonna quote Banjo, who said it best:
Now I suppose you're gonna have to produce more of those lovely case files, if you don't want to get shuriken'ed. C'mon, it can't be that difficult. You could order monkeys to assemble them! Monkeys can do that, right? Right?!
I'm gonna quote Banjo, who said it best:
So, yeah, you let us down. Your loyal, ninja trained and very vindictive fans. A mistake you could have avoided.I have to agree with giant_frying_pan, Eek and several others here.
Until now, I'd been impressed with TellTale and was more than happy to give them my money! I'd bought the whole of season one, and never had a problem downloading, activating and such. As someone who sorely misses the days of physical game box content, I was keen to get the whole season on disc too (I wouldn't have gone the download route without the promise of a "free" disc at the end), however being in Australia meant I wasn't going to order one and pay $10 shipping until I wanted to get more from the store. I knew Surfing the Highway was coming out and planned to get that and the disc, and the soundtrack and case file all at once.
Come Christmas time, I decided STH wasn't coming out soon, but I could live without it (or wait until the end of season two), and would just get the S1 disc, OST and case file... but then of course the S1 disc option vanished from the store!!!
Sooooo... I waited until now, dropped by to find the S1 disc was back and I could get one (still no STH, but like I said, I could deal with that), but NOW there were no CASE FILES!!!
I know it's just a few bits of cardboard, but it's stuff like this that keeps collectors, fans and gamers able to easily argue against all those leeches that say "just pirate it"... whatever else you think of piracy, one thing you'll NEVER get is all the neat manuals, bonus stuff, box and extras.
Frankly, I am very annoyed about this. When I wander into my local game store and see S&M S1 on the shelf, I start to wonder what the advantage was of going the whole 'download and then get a disc' option in the first place, beyond getting it "early", after the hassle of actually GETTING a disc ended up costing me the case file.
Maybe it's just because I feel "limited editions" of games and such are so frequent now, and usually include what I think you should get for paying full price for a game anyway. Or maybe it's because I feel the idea of "limited bonus" stuff like the case file is something us full-season purchasers should have been entitled to buy (heck, a little email about it being taken off the market would have been nice, if nothing else).
I will still buy S&M episodes, but I have to say that aside from getting the season discs, I can't see myself being eager to make any more store purchases, as I am now anticipating STH to be another "limited run" item, that I won't be able to wait for S2 to end before buying.
Now I suppose you're gonna have to produce more of those lovely case files, if you don't want to get shuriken'ed. C'mon, it can't be that difficult. You could order monkeys to assemble them! Monkeys can do that, right? Right?!

Then and Now: Woodward & Lothrop building
The former Woodward & Lothrop flagship store bounded by 10th, 11th, F, and G Streets, NW did not achieve the form familiar to most Washingtonians until 1927. The historic building along G street was occupied by Woodies in 1887. They soon outgrew the space and began occupying other properties on the block. Though Woodies occupied nearly the entire block by 1897, it was largely in the 1920s that Woodies began to replace the older structures with newer facades and buildings.
Northwest corner of 10th and F Streets, NW. Early 1920s (left), from Library of Congress, and now (right).
The center of the building between 10th and 11th was rebuilt in 1925 followed by a new addition on the corner of 11th and F Streets in 1926. By the end of 1927 the dust had settled and the block appeared as it does today.
Woodward & Lothrop survived in downtown Washington until its closure in November of 1995.

Or at least that's the best I can remember the story. She's gone now, so she can't correct me.

While the bus loads of tourists crowding the sidewalk can be bothersome, it is fun being in such an active area.
Woodies demise was due to the bankruptcy of their newer parent company, (same as Garfinkle and Raleigh) Hechts (now Macy's) was the poorer step sister in those days and its 7th Street location was a walk on the wild side.
But I'm not sure even really competent management could ultimately have done more than Hecht's did and gotten itself taken over by a national chain. I think DC's downtown, thanks to Metro, is one of the very few in the country that could support more than one department store, but too many things would have had to go right simultaneously. (In fact, the removal of the competition was probably one of the major things that went right for Hecht's and allowed it to survive as a Macy's.)
You gotta wonder what they did with 'em ... (and whatever happened to the right-only halves of these shoes ...)
I wouldn't settle for 'something occupying the space.' That's setting the bar awfully low.
Does a "notch below" mean even more crass, or slightly less crass?
People drink budweiser, which is a crass commercial beer that I personally find distasteful. But I live and let live.
I agree though there arent really any other department stores besides Macys. Saks, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales are really the only other options. Nordstrom would probably be the most likely.
Woodies, on the other hand was not that store. Management was arrogant, non customer focused, rejects from other retailers...yes 80% of upper management was fired from other reatilers and Woodies was known in the industry as where they would end up. Vendors saw the store as a real joke and they did not have the wisdom to see Macy's and Nordstrom's entering this market as a threat.
No store tried harder or deserved to go out of business the way Woodies did. Their passing is not missed.
It reads....
woodard & lothrop
Washington 13, D,C,
The business card looks brand new... I can't believe it survived.

We lived in Virginia, but the sales ladies would have our purchases shipped (at no charge) so we didn't have to schlep them all over town while we were shopping! I miss that, too! My Mother had a (Washington, D.C. area) Central Charge Card before we had Visa credit cards- that I believe
we used at Woodies, Hecht's, Garfinkel's, and Jelleff's. Not sure if we used it at Saks Fifth Avenue(?).
When I was about 16, my Mother and a couple of friends lunched in the Woodies' Tea Room. I had a watercress, bacon and mushroom sandwich on whole wheat toast - delicious. I've tried to replicate it at home, but it just doesn't taste as good! Guess I miss the ambience, locale and company!

Visualforce allows you to build sophisticated, custom user interfaces that can be hosted natively on the Force.com platform. Visualforce achieves this with the help of a tag-based language which is similar to HTML. This book aims to introduce you to Visualforce development tools to develop a better perspective towards UI development with Visualforce, and take your expertise in UI development to the next level.
"Visualforce Developer's Guide" is a hands-on guide aimed towards developing a custom UI interface. As you read through the content, you will notice that this book focuses on a single real-world example. This book builds upon this example to help you understand and use Visualforce development tools in your custom UI interfaces.
"Visualforce Developer's Guide" begins with an introduction to Visualforce to give you an understanding of the MVC model and the Visualforce architecture. Special emphasis is given to building a rich user interface by leveraging JavaScript, jQuery, CSS, and HTML with Visualforce. Through the course of the book, you will learn how to reuse the code with the help of custom components, and minimize the Visualforce and Apex code through Visualforce dynamic binding. The later sections of the book focus on building Visualforce pages for mobile devices. By the end of the book, you will learn the best practices and security tips for Apex and Visualforce development.
This is a mini tutorial guide that discusses the most important and the most frequently used technical aspects of Visualforce development, thereby making it a perfect companion for Visualforce developers.

50 Years Ago - This week
Working for the Robertson County News has been pleasure beyond belief. I went exploring in the room we all call the "dungeon" and found treasures galore, file cabinets of pictures from the past to present, newspapers back to the 60's and older. I have found a lost treasure...
The Robertson County News has decided to remove the dust and open the pages once again to bring you, the readers a part of our history from the past, 50 years ago to be exact. So sit back and relax as we go back in time and let your mind explore the past from July 5, 1963, we bring you the news.
Calvert breaks ground for a 32-bed rest home. The groundbreaking was at 10 am, Saturday. Calvert's Mayor J.L. Crouch announced that no federal aid was sought or needed for this enterprise; it would be all local funding for this project. Representative Melton J. Schiller, of Cameron was also there as a speaker with praises to the group with an answer to an important problem, caring of the aged. Richard Morris of Midland would operate the facility, which would be completely air conditioned with a recreation facility and even a beauty shop, modern equipment, communication system for broadcasting music, news, news casts into each of the rooms, outside warning lights and alarm system in case a resident strays out at night. The building will have kitchens and equipment that will favor many small hospitals with technicians and nurses on duty 24 hours a day. The completion and door opening would be sometime in September 1963.
E.A (Chili) Pursley relocated his business to a new Phillips 66 Service Station at Market and Third Street from the many years of operating a station at Market and Moss streets.
J.B. White Company was having a Summer Clearance Sale and a Fall Layaway Sale starting July 5 ending on July 13. Ladies cotton Capri pants sizes 8 to 16 were marked down to a $1.00, yes, I said ONE DOLLAR, and ladies that liked to sew could get summer, all cotton fabrics three yards for $1.00, what a price. A pre-season jacket sale, boys' sizes 3 to 6x, car coats with zip off hoods were marked $5.99.
In the section of the paper called "News Notes", we are treated with the entire goings on with after hour activities such as R.T. Amos hosting a two-day, Hawaiian Luau at their home with Hawaiian music as quests entered the tropical garden setting. The meal consisted of the traditional roasted pig and seafood with all types of fruit salads. The amusements of the evening consisted of dancing, swimming and visiting with friends and family. Then on Sunday at 2 pm, the Amos' entertained fifty small children of their Saturday evening adult guests and children from the neighborhood and later that evening hosted another luau for fifteen of their teenaged friends.
In the "Interest to Women" section of the newspaper, there are family reunions, engagements, weddings and even birth announcements. The Hiltpold family reunion held on June 30, Sunday with descendants and friends of Casper and Barbara Hiltpold attending in the home Hans and Mattie Schultz from New Baden with 160 guests consisting of adults and children.
Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Mahan of Elliott observed their 60th wedding anniversary with their seven children, who gave them a family reunion house party at the country home of Mr. and Mrs. O.W. Couch. Also celebrating an anniversary was Mr. and Mrs. Will H. Grace of Franklin, 50 years, on Sunday, July 6, 1963 from 3 to 6 pm, both natives of Robertson County.
Miss Georgia Mae Akins became the bride of Charles Wayne Currie with a traditional double ring ceremony.
The nuptials of Kenneth W. Gates to Miss Jane Elliott were held in New Mexico on June 22.
We cannot forget the birth of Nealine Bell, June 28 to Mr. and Mrs. W.W. Ellis.
Did you know that the New York Mets had a try-out camp in Rockdale on Thursday, July 4? Camp started at 9:45 am and continued through Saturday night, three full days of coaching, training, and try out sessions with several hundred outstanding baseball players from all over Texas attending the camp.
Lion Club member Bill Palmos installed Thomas E. Brashear as president of the Hearne Lions Club at Grace Methodist Church recreation hall. On taking command of the club Brashear thanked Floyd Tippitt, the outgoing president for the successful year of Lionism and presented him with the past president award.
LET'S TALK FOOD, YUMMY! Browning Grocery at 218 Magnolia had awesome Weekend Food Specials for July 5 and 6, a five pound bag of Gladiola flour for 45 cents, fryers for 29 cents a pound and ground meat 39 cents a pound. I think at those prices that we could feed an army and then some. We cannot forget Mr. G.R. Varner selling a bushel of tomatoes for $1.00. Love me some tomatoes. We cannot forget Smith Grocery and Market with their specials located then at 204 Fourth Street, fresh ground meat or stew meat three pounds for $1.00 and Old Fashioned Summer Sausage 49 cents a pound and then the deal of a lifetime, Shoulder Roast 59 cents per pound.
Finally yet importantly, for all of those that like those headlines, the topic back on July 5, 1963 was Hearne Chamber Endorses County Tax Rate Increase. The Hearne Chamber of Commerce took a long look at the county's tax election schedule for July 20, deciding it was a progressive step toward improving Robertson County as a whole and went on record as supporting the tax measure.

This is a good combination, but lacking a little something--I think next time I will add balsamic vinegar and some red pepper flakes. Be warned that the sun-dried tomatoes might burn a little, but they still taste good. NOTE: I eyeballed the cheese and tomato sauce amounts, but followed the other ingredients exactly.

|Viewing Single Post From: "Working Mother" interview with Ali Sweeney
|Apr 14 2010, 06:00 AM
Hmmmm. The difference is, well, the mother has PHYSICAL reasons for not returning early????????? And honestly, I'd like to know if the dad took time off. If the dad took more time off than she did, then that's a whole 'nother ball of wax. There would be a parent who woud be the parent, instead of the nanny being the parent. True, we don't know the bills they have, but, I'm sorry. I know a lot of middle class women who have bills AND no husband and still make sure they spend time with their kids.
The story and opinions could probably be more balanced if we knew that. As it is, she tries to come across as the woman who has everything, but it just seems too much. I mean, come on.She works these two shows, raises her own garden, has time to work out, flies across the coast to do guest spot, Twitters non-stop, and has time to give interviews? SERIOUSLY? And at the risk of stepping on the toes of any mom here who "has that schedule", it increases the chances of problem kids later. I'm not saying it GUARANTEES it, and if her kid grow up to solve world problems, kudos to her. I've also read enough about other actors and have had experience with other parents who SEEM to have the same attitude of "I can have it all", and something gives. Drastically. Often, it's the kids. Plus, despite her obvious health, you don't think this is going to take a toll on her after a while? When was the woman off screen for any significant length of time JUST to have some downtime? When was the last time she took a vacation that wasn't a working vacation?
Let's just say, to me, her interviews read TOO much into the whole "Hey, look at me, I'm Perfect Mrs. Supermom". And, I'm sorry, but to me, this isn't a good example of momdom. And that's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it.
Let's not forget that, like someone mentioned, this crazy schedule seems to come at the cost of the show and the work schedule of the OTHER actors. It's already been noted on this board that storylines involving Sami seem enclosed and disjointed, and it was rare she shared scenes with anyone besides GG and JS, with the occasional Will actor and Sydney twins. I would think, after a while, some of these actors might start to resent that just a little?
AS someone who struggled while her kids were younger so my husband and I COULD spend more time with them. We're both teachers, and my husband is retired. It can happen. Having it all doesn't mean you have to have it all at the same time. Now, I do work almost 12 hour days with school and lessons AND am going back to get my PhD AND do web design on the side, but my kids are grown. So it's not like I don't understand the schedule aspect of it.
We have to remember these people are human AND actors. Yes, she might actually have it all and be one of those rare women whose life honestly just glitters. More than likely, she's putting on a facade, and it might be the best acting of her career.
And damn, I got sucked into it. I wish I could put a whole thread on "ignore", but I just feel too strongly about this topic.
As for being in the 60's, well, I deal with the results every day of the attitudes of the 70's, 80's, and 90's. Maybe the 60's had it right? :shrug:

Let the campaigning begin.
Recap after the jump:
What an awesome game. Paced by Mr. McCutchen himself, the Bucs were able to win against a staff ace yet again, this time in spectacular fashion.
Cliff Lee started out dominating, and was rolling with a 2-0 lead in the 6th inning when Cutch led off with a double. That's when the fun started. Nyjer Morgan squared to bunt and the pitch hit the area near his hands. The ruling was a foul ball, but JR came out to argue and got really animated (yes, really!) and was TOSSED! That's only happened one other time–last year in Milwaukee. Definitely a rarity to see that man fired up.
Anyway, Nyjer got Cutch to 3rd and Fred hit a sac fly to cut the lead in half.
Ross Ohlendorf finished off his solid outing with a clean 7th (7 innings, 2 runs, 5 hits, 3 walks, 2 K's forRoss tonight, very refreshing to see), and the Bucs went back to work. Andy walked. Moss singled. JJ hit a sac bunt. Jack (2-for-2 against Lee at that point) was intentionally walked. Pinch-hitter Delwyn Young struck out with the bases loaded. 2 outs now for Andrew McCutchen. He quickly fell into an 0-2 hole. But….he laid off Lee's crafty attempts to get him to chase, fouled off some tough pitches, and eventually drew a walk to tie the game. Phenomenal at-bat.
John Grabow walked the bases loaded in the top of the 8th but danced out of trouble, partially thanks to Nyjer Morgan robbing a Martinez homer. In the bottom of the inning, Cleveland's awful bullpen walked the bases loaded with one out. Jason Jaramillo stepped to the plate against a pitcher who had just walked Moss on 4 pitches. He SWUNG AT THE FIRST PITCH AND HIT INTO A DOUBLE PLAY. Horrible. Inexcusable.
Matt Capps came in and pitched an excellent 1-2-3 ninth.
The Bucs wasted no time in the bottom half of the inning, though. Jack led off with a single (he went 3 for 3 tonight). Hinske singled. As Cutch squared to bunt, Jack made a heads up play and stole third. And before you knew it, Cutch the great lined a ball over the shortstop for the winning hit.
The win was the Pirates' first walkoff W this year. Obviously it was big for Cutch, who played a huge role in all 3 runs and got a nice pie-in-the-dreadlocks postgame.
The Rookie of the Year campaign should be in full swing at this point. This kid is legit.
Indians 2, Pirates 3 / [Box] / 2009 Record: 33-39 / Next: Tomorrow, vs. Royals, 7:05
MVP: Cutch (+.298) / LVP: JJ (-.312) / Most important play: JJ's GIDP.

Here's why Jim Carrey, Jenny McCarthy called it quits
"Jenny's done," claims a source. "They always seem so happy in public yet they have had their share of breaks. Jenny has been very supportive of Jim, but he has refused to take medication that seems necessary for his condition," the mag claims. "The crazy highs and dark lows were just too much for her. It was such an emotional roller coaster for her," says an insider. "When he'd get really down, he'd just disappear. He would hide out in a hotel or one of his homes, not answering her calls."
Carrey took to Twitter to reveal that his relationship with McCarthy had ended. He wrote: "Jenny and I have just ended our 5yr relationship. I"m grateful for the many blessings we"ve shared and I wish her the very best. S"okay! Be of good cheer folks! It"s a beautiful world, and we"re all gonna get what we need the most! (sic)"
McCarthy replied saying she was "grateful" for their time together and would continue to be "committed" to his daughter Jane, 22. She said: "I"m so grateful for the years Jim and I had together. I will stay committed to Jane and will always keep Jim as a leading man in my heart."

Just under 50 games into the 2010 season, the first word of potential trade brewing has surfaced for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
According to the Dodgers' website, the team has inquired about pitchers Roy Oswalt of the Houston Astros and Cliff Lee of the Seattle Mariners. Although both teams responded with a, "No for now," it doesn't necessarily mean the door can't be opened later.
But which pitcher would make a better fit in Tinsel Town? Perhaps the pitcher with the ability to eat up innings or simply keep the Dodgers in the game long enough for the offense to solidify a victory. If not that, at the very least keep hitters from sending the ball to left field.
On the slides to follow will be a break down of Roy Oswalt's attributes and Cliff Lee's skills respectively. Along with statistics, there will be an inside look at each player and how they might fare in Los Angeles.

Community building at home and abroad
By Jennifer Coffman
Jennifer Coffman founded and directs the successful Field School in Kenya. Students live with and learn from local families, while also exploring sustainable projects with their community hosts.
When I was a junior in college, I didn't know that my travels to East Africa would open a lifelong commitment to Kenya. Likewise, when I moved to the Shenandoah Valley a dozen years later, I had little idea that I would be so involved in issues of local food production and land use. How these opportunities unfolded for me underscores the fact that we need not set out with grand plans to have our lives changed, nor must we outline in advance our specific contributions to the lives of others. Being aware of and open to possibilities enables us to discover paths worth following. When we do, great things can happen.
In both Kenya and our local valley, I examine the politics of land access and ownership, sustainable food production, and resource distribution. I merge many interests and duties through the JMU Field School in Kenya, which I created in 2003 and direct. It is an intensive summer program focusing on Kenya's history, cultures and environments. The program's founding values include a strong commitment to social responsibility, and it is designed to ensure that the majority of in-country costs directly benefit our host communities in Kenya.
For part of the program, students stay with Kenyan families and immerse themselves in their daily lives. "Not only was this the happiest time in my life, but it was also the most interesting and broadening experience," says Ben Wilson ('08) about his 2007 trip.
The students' experiences have long-term impacts. Katie Imbriglia ('10), who participated in 2009, says, "Kenya continues to be one of the most amazing experiences. I constantly think about what we learned."
Through the Kenya program, and with independent fundraising, my students and I contribute to school and community projects, including school scholarships based on merit and need, supplementary food programs for three primary schools (we purchase and supply Kenyan-grown beans and maize to under-resourced schools), academic and sports supplies for at least four primary schools, and other community-based projects in our homestay areas. We strive to buy locally produced goods (desks, food, uniforms, books from East African publishers), hire local laborers to construct things like community wells, and patronize local, family-owned shops. By favoring local goods and labor, our investments provide even more benefits. Further, students reflect on their own practices, and often some significant changes result. One student wrote on her program evaluation: "My experience in Kenya has certainly made me more conscious of my daily consumption and daily activities I take for granted like turning on the tap and knowing there will be water. I encourage more students to embark on this program."
Closer to home, my students and I pursue environmental work mainly through collaborative research on local food production in the Shenandoah Valley. I created a farm internship program for JMU students, sponsored by the JMU Office of International Programs and ISAT. Students work on local farms and earn academic credits while learning about the ecology and politics of farming. With a variety of partners, I'm working to expand collaborations focusing on sustainable food systems, and thus further greening Virginia farms.
About the Author Jennifer Coffman is associate executive director of the JMU Office of International Programs and an integrated science and technology professor. She focuses on internationalization and environmental efforts, including curricular development, program design and implementation with international partner institutions in community outreach. She teaches a variety of courses on environment, development and Africa. She also chairs the U.S. board of Carolina for Kibera, an organization co-founded by one of her former students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

I think the murder rate would skyrocket.
calendar sales would probably go up
Absolutely. Think about life insurance, no one would need it. Plan a big bash to go out of style and not leave a penny for anyone. Spend more time with your significant other to treasure every minute. Or certain people might go crazy before they go.
Yes. Either people would just be complete axxholes or actually try to live life to the fullest.
Probably. You'd probably live each day differently.
I believe the world would be a much better place to live in if we knew our time to pass from this world. I know I would certainly have lived a different kind of life much earlier than I did.
More creeps would do more sex crimes the closer they got too the day
Yes absolutely... people might become more kind to others around them.
I think people would do more crazy things but also maybe live life to the fullest

Fed panel allows Georgia to challenge water ruling
Published: Thursday, January 21, 2010 at 12:56 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 21, 2010 at 12:56 p.m.
ATLANTA — A federal appeals panel has cleared the way for Georgia to appeal a judge's ruling that could restrict metro Atlanta from its main water supply.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta concluded Wednesday that the judge's ruling in July can be appealed.
U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson's ruling found that Georgia has little legal rights to the massive north Georgia reservoir that supplies most of metro Atlanta's more than 3 million residents with water.
The judge gave Georgia, Alabama and Florida three years to reach an accord or risk cutting Georgia off from most of its supply.

Space is at a premium for many gardeners, but with careful planning you can have a fruitful garden no matter the size. Here you'll find plans for all seasons to give you some ideas for your garden.
Garden Bed Designs
The plans shared over the next few slides were designed for 4 x 8–foot beds that can take you from cool to warm season. The plant combinations are flexible and meant to serve as a guide to help you get started. Follow these specifications exactly or customize your garden to suit your taste buds by planting any of the recommended substitutes.
Bed 1: Cool Season
A semi-permanent tepee constructed of three to four vertical stakes made of bamboo, spiral stakes, or rebar provides support for vining plants season after season. Wrap the tepee with twine to give the plants horizontal supports on which to climb.
Sugar snap peas (1): Substitute green peas or snow peas.
Collard greens (2): Substitute cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, or mustard greens.
Lettuce (3): Substitute carrots, radishes, dill, parsley, or cilantro.
