Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton visited Yemen in January, where she reunited with Nujood Ali, the first child bride in Yemen to get a divorce, and Shada Nasser, Nujood's attorney. Secretary Clinton shared her thoughts about reconnecting with Nujood in a piece for Glamour.com. The Secretary wrote:
"At a recent town hall meeting in Yemen, I reconnected with two of my heroes...Nujood Ali was just nine years old when she was forced by her own family to marry a man three times her age. As is the case with so many child brides, Nujood had to drop out of school against her will, and she was physically abused. Wanting to find a way out of her misery and suffering, Nujood boarded a bus and found her way to the local courthouse.
"Everyone towered above her and paid no attention to her until a judge asked the young girl why she was there. Nujood said she wanted a divorce. Female attorney Shada Nasser took Nujood's case and others like it. Today, thanks to Shada's work, girls across Yemen have been given their childhoods back. They are back in school, where they belong.
"Child marriages like Nujood's are tragically common in many societies. In Yemen, for example, among the poorest one-fifth of girls, more than half marry before the age of 18. Of course, every society approaches marriage differently. But all societies also agree on the need to protect children. Which is why we must help young women like Nujood to make the case in their own societies that child marriage is unjust and unwise.
"Stopping child marriage is not just a must for moral or human rights reasons -- it lays the foundation for so many other things we hope to achieve. Primary education. Improved child and maternal health. Sustainable economic development that includes girls.
"Child marriage is both a consequence and a cause of poverty. In some cases, girls are sold into marriage simply to resolve a debt. Once married, child brides often lack status and power within their marriages and households. Their youth leaves them even more vulnerable to domestic violence, marital rape and other sexual abuse. They become isolated from their family, friends and community. On average, child brides become less healthy, and their kids grow up less healthy and poorer.
"We are working every day to turn the tide. But we cannot do it alone. We are reaching out to women and girls, fathers and brothers, religious leaders and all who can help us to convince societies that this particular tradition is better left behind. Many people, even in conservative societies, are taking up the banner -- not just as a matter of women's rights but also as a matter of human rights and economic development. Governments, too, are taking steps to raise the minimum age of marriage. We need to help those who support our cause to win arguments within their societies. And we need to make our case far and wide to plant the seeds that will one day convince the rest.
"When I first met Nujood and Shada two years ago, I was struck by their courage and by the power of their inspiring story. It seems I wasn't the only one. These young women have brought hope to those suffering inside forced marriages. They have raised awareness of the emotional, psychological, educational, economic and even physical dangers of marrying too early in life. And they have inspired so many of us to redouble our efforts to protect young girls like Nujood.
"Every day -- in every country -- people are standing up for the rights of women. In some places, this means ensuring that daughters as well as sons have enough to eat. In others, it means demanding equal pay for equal work. Everywhere, people are rallying around the belief that women's rights are human rights. They are coming to grips with what it means that societies cannot flourish if half their people are left behind. They are leading the fight to protect and promote human rights and opening up the doors of opportunity for everyone.
"The story of Nujood and Shada continues to change lives. Nujood is back in school, representing the dreams of so many young girls in Yemen and across the world. Shada continues to fight for Yemen's young girls. Other child brides have heard their story and come forward to declare that girls should have the right to decide when and whom to marry. All because a young girl stood up to injustice and a brave woman stood behind her.
"I often say that one of my goals as Secretary of State is to help people everywhere live up to their God-given potential. Few have fought as hard for it as Nujood Ali and Shada Nasser. I'm honored to know them. We all should share their cause."

It sort of sounds like their selling their children's futures. This is very sad!

Sandy B. in Wisconsin writes:
Thank you so much Hillary for all you have done and continue to do with regard to human rights and equal rights for women and girls around the world. Our personal and collective work for a better world is to remove the obstacles for pursuing and achieving every human being's potential. Every child, boy, girl, man, or woman has unique talents and gifts that if given the opportunity to share and develop them in so doing will create a better world for us all and leave behind a beautiful legacy for others to look up to!
Kate in North Carolina writes:
It sounds like this story has a happy ending . . . but I would like to know if this girls's family took her back? or is she considered a 'dishonor', and in an orphanage or something like that? will she be able to marry later in life, if/when she wants? or is she 'damaged goods'?
While I applaud her courage, and her attorney's, and deplore the whole idea of child marriages, these are complex problems with wider implications. It usually takes a long time to change cultural practices.
Kate in North Carolina writes:
Also, since the USA is the only country - other than Somalia - that has never signed off on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, perhaps we should do that before we criticize Yemani (and others countries') cultural practices that involve children. In some countries (eg, Sri Lanka) the best way parents have to protect their children from being kidnapped & conscripted into being child-soldiers is to marry them off while they are very young.
Again, these are very complex issues.
But the US signing onto the 50-year-old UNCRC should not be complicated at all - when is that going to happen?
Owais T. in Germany writes:
I love you America for being with the people who are in need. this is a great job which you are doing it Mrs. Clinton, i am very happy to see your human rights activities with lots of success....actually this phenomenon of child marriage is not related to any kind of religion bounds, it is only a bad tradition which has become a part of the cultures in the countries where is the shortage of knowledge, education, technology, and good economic status. and they are living in ignorance of the human rights....even the local governments do not want to fight against it because there are some links of it with the local feudalism which is supporting the governments and they want this thing to be practiced in their areas for their personal benefits and the feudal is forcing this culture on the local religious spiritual leaders and priests, to try to link it with the religious Holiness to not make the people who have no knowledge from the basics of their religion and they do obey blindly the things which are being told for them by the side of priests and Imams and do to lake of knowledge they do not dare to make investigations about this issue.
So these are the main reasons which has made this shameful phenomenon to be an accepted part of the culture in some countries and the people do practice it usually by knowing that this is wrong some of them are suffer for doing this to their child, but as it is so usual they don`t fight against it, or the other reason is the economical problem and the force which are making the people to do it....but there are ways for destruction of this phenomenon like : to fight against the local illegal powers or Feudalism, Corruption, and the most important thing is the information to be reached to those people to open their eyes and to explain them that this phenomenon is not a part of any religion in this world and even this is the affair of devil not even a human being.
There are many countries in this world where this culture of child marriage exists....HOPE FOR A BETTER TOMORROW
Mary B. in Michigan writes:
What an amazing story of courage. Thank you Secretary Clinton for EVERYTHING you do for women and girls throughout the world. You are an inspiration to each of us. I often ask myself how one person can have such an amazing impact and then I answer myself - hard work, faith and courage.
Guillermo writes:
Wow when i saw this article i was surprised because marriage is a serious commitment and it should be only by adults, i really hope to be a good law in Yemen to block that unlawful act.
Angel in Georgia (U.S.A.) writes:
I think we should start cleaning up our own marriage laws here in the States first. I was an unwilling child bride at 15 to a 43 year old grown man. This happened right here in the good O'le USA, South Carolina! People, check your States laws on this. The laws need to be changed. A 15 year old is still a child and cannot make such a mature decision.

Safety Advocates Question Why It's Taking So Long for Backup Camera Regulations

They suspect cost is the driving force
Even though the
regulations for backup cameras
in new vehicles is near, grieving parents and safety advocates want to know what the heck has taken so long.
The rearview camera mandate would make it so every vehicle would have a backup camera for seeing behind the vehicle when in reverse. The idea was triggered by the 300 deaths and 16,000 injuries annually caused by a driver's inability to see behind their vehicle when backing up. Many of the injuries and death affect young children and senior citizens.
Judy Neiman, 53, of West Richland, Washington, is just one of the many people who have experienced a tragic death due to
driving a car in reverse
without properly checking her surroundings before backing up. She accidentally backed over and killed her 9-year-old daughter, Sydnee.
"They have to do something, because I've read about it happening to other people. I read about it and I said, 'I would die if it happens to me,'" said Neiman. "Then it did happen to me."
The White House is doing something about it, but there have been several delays in regulating the use of these cameras. The rearview camera regulations date back to 2007, when Congress initially approved legislation to set these standards by February 28, 2011. This
date was delayed
to February of this year, and again to December 31.
While the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are both behind the making of these new standards, others, namely automakers, have worried that the cost of installing these cameras on each vehicle would drive the price up too high. Parents and safety advocates blame worries regarding cost for the delays in safety.
NHTSA estimated that adding backup cameras to every car would add $58 to $88 to the price of vehicles that have an existing dashboard display screens. It would cost $159 to $203 for those without them.
DOT Secretary Ray LaHood said he is meeting with White House officials to
finalize the regulations
by December 31.
In the meantime, Neiman grieves over her lost child who had survived four open-heart surgeries like a champ, but was eventually killed due to her mistake. She couldn't see her 4-foot tall daughter behind her van when pulling out of the garage.

What's spinning, February 12 edition
Washington, DC got something close to 40 inches of snow over the past week. The whole city was shut down until today, and arguably should still be shut down. When I wasn't out taking pictures, I was hanging out inside listening to music and doing some miscellaneous work. Here's a sampling of what's been playing:
- Art Zoyd - Generation Sans Futur — Probably my favorite Art Zoyd album, although they released so many great albums that are all somewhat similar that this is kind of a tough call. The title track, augmented by Daniel Denis' drumming, is an easy pick for an all-time favorite AZ composition.
- Basta! - Cycles — Yeah, I'm pretty obsessed with this one, I've talked about it here before. Joris Vanvinckenroye + loop pedals = awesomeness. Definitely going to be somewhere high up on my best of 2009 list.
- Birds of Prey - The Hellpreacher — Here's another one I discussed earlier. Super simple, catchy death metal - not normally my thing but for some reason this one keeps finding its way back to the playlist.
- Flower-Corsano Duo - The Chocolate Cities — A live tour EP from this free-improv duo of drums and shahi baaja. If anything, parts of this are even more intense than their excellent studio recording, but there are some really nice quieter bits as well. Thanks to Andrew McCarry for the heads-up on this one.
- Gaza - He Is Never Coming Back — Some people are saying this one's a disappointment after the groundbreaking I Don't Care Where I Go When I Die. It might be a little less overtly experimental, but make no mistake: this band is still kicking ass and taking names, mixing the manic feel of grindcore with the heavy, dirty sludge of doom metal to awesome effect. I am SUPER pissed that their tour with Converge is not coming anywhere near DC - the closest date is in North Carolina, and that one's during Maryland Deathfest.
- Margot MacDonald - Live at the Kennedy Center — This is actually a video available online. Margot is an 18-year-old rock musician whom I first heard a couple years ago and was impressed by her powerful voice. She's only gotten better and there are some real highlights in this live performance, most notably an acoustic cover of Led Zeppelin's "Immgrant Song," a loop-pedal extravaganza at the end, and several new compositions that she has featured on her YouTube page.
- Pree - A Chopping Block — Saw these folks at the Kennedy Center a few weeks ago (video here) and liked them enough to pick this up; after several listens, I really like them. It's low-key indie-rock with wonderfully subtle orchestrations and May Tabol's offbeat, caterwauling vocals that will probably turn a lot of people off but that I seem to be a bit of a sucker for.
- Those Darlins - Those Darlins — High-energy country music? This wouldn't normally be my thing but after seeing this trio of women (plus a male drummer who gets completely neglected in all their press) tear it up live with true punk-rock zeitgeist, I'm hooked. I don't think there's anything on this list that's quite as much pure fun as this stuff.
- The Tiptons Sax Quartet - Laws of Motion — Beautiful, beautiful sax quartet plus drums material - runs the gamut from straight-ahead jazz to world music of many kinds. There's not much in the way of out-three free improv or pure avant-garde a la Rova, but Amy Denio's bizarre vocals definitely up the weird quotient to pretty delightful levels.
- Wildbirds & Peacedrums - The Snake — Speaking of unique, powerful female vox (MacDonald, Denio, Tabol), this band basically exists to show off some sick tribal drumming and Mariam Wallentin's amazing voice. Wallentin ably carries this record, the duo's second, and she's even better live. She often seems to be right on the edge of oversinging, but always seems to rein it in at the last second for some truly memorable tension-and-release type moments.

Paralympian Josh George to Receive 2008 ARETE Honors Award for Courage in Sports
New York, N.Y.- Less than three weeks before the 2008 Paralympics begin in Beijing, it has been announced that World Champion Josh George has been selected as a winner of the 2008 ARETE Honors Award For Courage In Sports. George, who will be competing in Beijing for the United States in six events, will receive the award on October 17 in Chicago, with the feature to be broadcast on CBS later in the month. The show profiles various athletes who have not only succeeded, but have exemplified courage while overcoming challenges on their way to excelling in sports and life.
Past honorees range from professional athletes like Lance Armstrong, Alonzo Mourning, Tiger Woods and Muhammad Ali to Ben Comen, a young man born with cerebral palsy who served as captain of his high school cross country team.
"It is almost incomprehensible to me to be mentioned in the same sentence as such legendary past ARETE award winners, and I am looking forward to honoring their achievements by setting my own standard of excellence in Beijing next month," George said. "I am looking forward to all the competition in Beijing and representing the United States, and then returning home to be part of this great CBS event in the fall."
George, now 24, embarked on a career in athletics two years after surviving a 12 story fall at the age of four. The Virginia native and University of Illinois graduate was one of the youngest members of the U.S. National basketball team at age 21, and has held the World Records in the 100 meter and 800 meter sprints.
He has won the Chicago Marathon three times (in 2003, 2004 and 2006), won four (4) gold medals at the World Championships in the Netherlands in 2006 (100, 200, 400 and 800) and two bronze medals at the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens, Greece. He also was the starting guard for the gold medal winning U.S. Wheelchair basketball team at this past summer's Parapan Games in Rio de Janero, Brazil (he is eligible but will not compete in basketball in Beijing to concentrate on track and marathon competition).

Avoid these foot-in-mouth comments.
Spry editor Lisa Delaney is one of the rare souls who know what it�s like to be an �after.� This journalist and author of Secrets of a Former Fat Girl�shed 70 pounds�and six dress sizes--and has kept it off for 20 years. She answers your questions here each week. DEAR FORMER FAT GIRL: My wife wants to lose weight and has started exercising and cutting calories. I want to support her, but it seems like everything I say backfires. What should I do?�Bill DEAR BILL: If your wife is anything like I was when I started Weight Watchers, you�re smart to tread lightly. I�m pretty cranky under normal circumstances, but when my stomach�s empty, watch out�my vitriol would make Nancy Grace look positively serene. But enough about me. I don�t have to tell you that weight is a touchy subject even among the most confident people. Some of us, though, are super-sensitive, and can find the most negative angle in the most innocuous comment. I can certainly list some language to avoid, but know that this is a process as well for your wife�part of her journey is to learn to become less sensitive and more accepting, to learn that others most likely view her more kindly than she does. It�s likely that her weight is a central focus for her, and when you�re in that mindset, it�s hard to understand that the same is not true for other people. Anyway, here are some no-no quips and comments�some obvious, some less so. How did your weigh-in go? Asking about the finer points of a woman�s weight loss program or progress is really tricky. Yes, good spouses show interest in the other�s pursuits and hobbies, but weight is a very personal matter. Asking for the dirty diet details may make it look like you�re nagging or checking up on her. Take her lead�if she volunteers info, go with it. But don�t bring it up yourself. The pounds must be melting off! This is meant as a positive expression of admiration for your wife�s hard work, right? But that�s exactly not how it comes off. It sounds like you�re saying that dropping the weight is effortless, when she is working hard�both outwardly and inwardly�to stay on track. Pounds don�t MELT off, mister. Don�t you forget that. Are you sure you should be eating that?/Weren�t you supposed to work out today? Ooooh. I can�t tell you how many times I heard this.� No one likes a nag. You have, really, no idea what choices your wife is making over the course of a day�that burger or those fries or that sliver of pie may be something she�s been working toward all week; or that rest day might be prelude to a really tough workout the next day. It�s none of your (or anyone else�s) business. Be confident that she knows what she�s doing�that�s the best way to support her. I had a friend who did diet X/workout Y. She lost a ton, but gained it all back. This may seem like a super-obvious no-no, but I have also heard this many times. Frankly, it�s one of the reasons why I tell people to keep their plans a secret. Why invite comments that call into question the program you�ve been so diligently following? Unless you think your wife is doing something dangerous, keep your anecdotes to yourself. If the plan she�s chosen doesn�t work for her, for whatever reason, her efforts won�t be wasted. Even if a diet or fitness program doesn�t give us the results we want, we still learn valuable lessons that will help us find one that will. Come on�you can have a small piece, can�t you? Never. NEVER let these words pass your lips. You have no idea how complicated and all-consuming the inner conversation in your wife�s head is. It�s like the old devil on one shoulder and angel on another. She needs your help to stay strong, not your encouragement to cave. If there�s a treat on the table, trust me�in her head, she�s all over it. Don�t tip the balance; keep mum. I like you with some weight on you. Argh. My father-in-law, who I love, said this a few times early in my marriage. I let it pass�having been at a healthy weight for more than 20 years, I don�t get worked up about this stuff anymore. But this kind of comment could be damaging to someone who�s trying to lose. So, what are you trying to say�you won�t like her if she loses weight? It�s not YOUR body, it�s hers. Butt out! You look so skinny! We need to all agree that the word �skinny� is not a compliment. Skinny is not attractive�nor is it HEALTHY, more importantly. That emphasis on skinny could in turns be discouraging or fuel an unhealthy obsession to lose more, more, more at the cost of your wife�s well-being. Tell her how fit she looks. Tell her how strong she is. Tell her you�re proud of her running or cycling or whatever. Tell her you love how much energy she has. Don�t applaud her because she�s skinny.

Effort ongoing to support native plant varieties
MARQUETTE – The Hiawatha National Forest greenhouse in Marquette is once again buzzing with activity as volunteers work to plant seeds to help with native plant restoration within the forest's boundaries.
A total of 35,000 seeds will be planted in the months-long effort – all through volunteer work.
The seedlings will be used in a number of restoration projects throughout the forest. Sites planned for restoration planting on the West Zone of the forest include Sandtown near Nahma, Grand Island National Recreation Area, monarch openings on Stonington and three wildlife openings on the Munising Ranger District.
Plants grown in the greenhouses are native to the national forest and their seeds come solely from within its borders.
A seed cache, collected meticulously over several years time, is stored on-site at the greenhouse, with a number of 20-gallon storage bins filled to the brim with thousands of seeds. A little less than 100 species have been collected.
The native plant restoration projects are meant to return environments in the Hiawatha National Forest that have been altered due to human interaction – such as old farms or culverts – back to their natural state.
The first volunteer event was Jan. 24, when volunteers mixed soil specific for certain species of native plants and filled planting cells with the soil mix for seeding, which will begin Feb. 21.
Tuesday is the next volunteer day, when more soil will be prepped for seeding.
Volunteer sessions scheduled for March 5, March 28 and April 18 will include seeding, reseeding or thinning of germinated plants.
Interested volunteers can help for any amount of time they wish to.
Hiawatha National Forest ecologist Deb Le Blanc said the project is open to people of all ages with a desire to learn and work with native plants. No experience is needed as professionals will work alongside volunteers and explain various aspects of native plant propagation.
The greenhouse is located in Marquette at 1030 Wright St. Volunteer sessions begin at 10 a.m. and conclude at about 3 p.m. A potluck lunch will be held at noon during each session.
For more information on the projects, contact Le Blanc at 387-2512, ext. 20, or email Sue Rabitaille at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Jackie Stark can be reached at 906-228-2500, ext. 242.

Stand By Me
Just back from National AAHPERD Convention, big success, thousands of PE teachers learning new ideas, and will share that in a separate blog. I spent most my time with the Brazilian Director of Coaching Education and another Brazilian coach, and got caught up in their samba music and rhythm...so this led me to share one of my all time team building songs for a group - including volleyball teams. It is the song "Stand By Me," which is sung together as a group, regardless of singing skill. Everyone knows the lyrics, and you can change the song to "teammate teammate" or "partner partner" (just like Timo did with Pumba). With the power of YouTube now, the impact of this song in the whole of humanity can be seen on many levels. Ben E. King wrote it and while you likely know the lyrics, just to be sure, they follow. The movie Stand By Me is a must see by any boys team, and really, any team of kids, and this first link shows both Ben King singing (as it is always important to see the original artist performing when possible), along with clips from the movie.
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Darling, darling stand by me
Stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
When the movie "The Lion King" came out and our beloved doubles volleyball team of Pumba and Timon sang the song,
it became a Kessel household hit, and brought a song from the 1960s, into the new century and the lives of my own kids.
I have a collection of the song being sung by many others on my hard drive as videos, and as a team exercise, showing some of these can bring the history of this song and some performers.
To see John Lennon performing it, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4_ghOG9JQM
then his son Julian... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q28Nl4OrPk and then
Enrique Iglesias, son of the gifted Julio Iglesias.... Well, you just get to see the power of genetics...
Then get a whole club to sing it - just like this group from the BBC, and the Boys Don't Sing choir - weaving in the song "Beautiful Girls" as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQxHxloG854&fmt=18
The BEST version however, I saw this past fall, when Mark Johnson's clip of this song appeared on PBS, and while several versions of this great compilation can be seen there, the original and the whole project's scope and impact can be seen at http://www.playingforchange.com/. Rather than explain the project myself, I will let a short excerpt from Mark's blog give you a bit more insight, and urge you to go read more about it at their website. Sport impacts lives as well, but we are competitive in the end on the court - and cooperative off. In all my travels, I always ask the players in the country I am visiting "What are the top five best songs for me to take home from your country?" We go out and work to find them, or they give them to me on a CD as a parting gift. The gift of music is powerful for sport.

Playing for Change - Peace Through Music is a documentary film that demonstrates that MUSIC will change the world and help bring us all peace. The film features over 100 musicians and includes live performances of music ranging from native Indian reservations to South African Townships to performances in the Himalayan Mountains. Music has always been an integral part of the identity and expression of various cultures on this planet. However, music's greatest power is its ability to transcend cultural boundaries and connect us as a Human Race.
The first event that triggered the idea of "Playing For Change - Peace Through Music" occurred 10 years ago in a New York City subway station. I was headed to work one morning, and while in the subway I witnessed a musical performance of two monks painted all in white from head to toe. They were wearing brown robes and one of them was singing in a foreign language while the other man played a nylon guitar. I remember seeing about 200 people of different cultures, races and genders, stop and listen to the music. Everyone there was so moved by the performance even though I can't imagine many of us knew what they were singing about. It occurred to me that in this moment in time was a strong sense of human connection and the ability to overcome our differences as people. I decided right then and there that music is the key to a better world. I also realized it was my calling to go out and find as many of these inspiring human moments as possible.
The documentary will be very, very good as a team building exercise. Should be out soon! Meanwhile, it is lacrosse season here too, as both my kids play JO volleyball along with LAX in the spring. I coached both my children in lacrosse from elementary ages through junior high - it was a sport I played at Colorado College back in the 1970s when it was wooden sticks. My son Cody has gone from HS varsity goalie as a freshman to varsity attackman this year, while McKenzie made the varsity team as a freshman this year. So the same principles of making it gamelike, appropriate coaching, lots of contacts per hour, etc., worked well in building players in that team sport too, as it is about making it fun, playing a lot and learning technique while you play. You can see what JPLproductions has done for those two positions.
Anyone doing a great job like these below for Volleyball? Anyone have the time to help us compile highlights for defenders/servers/blockers/attackers? We would love to see it here at USA Volleyball!
Tribute to the Game Changers - Lacrosse Goalies, using the song "I Put On" by Jeezy Tribute http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EezsWXmgJVQ&feature=related
Best of 2009 Lacrosse, using the "For the Love of the Game" by Pillar song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6-bTLPABSA
Best from 2005-2008, using the song "Wake up Call" by Colourslide - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DczVvIpmtDc&feature=related
Inside LAX TV has a clip worth sharing - not something we can do in our sport but look at it from the point of view of learned behavior patterns and creativity, if you have never seen it before... (meanwhile I would hope we can soon have an inside VB TV station on the USAV website) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEsyBkmjtEY&feature=related
So today's blog is a bit bandwidth intensive, but we would love to hear from you on other ways to build your team, with or without music or pictures, in the comments below. Please share your thought will all! Good luck in Regionals which are coming up for all....
Addendum on Thanksgiving Day 2011... Playing for Change continues to create and film new episodes, now up to over 50 choices, and this one, a special Stand by Me tribute to Japan, is one heckuva great jam...so had to add/share it today, giving thanks to all who help us grow the game together...

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Los Alamos lab director to link science education, national security in TEDxABQ talk
- Fred deSousa
- Communications Office
- (505) 665-3430
Watch live stream at home or at Bradbury Science Museum
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Sept. 5, 2013—Los Alamos National Laboratory Director Charlie McMillan will discuss the linkage between national security and early education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) during a presentation at the TEDxABQ conference in Albuquerque on Saturday, Sept. 7.
Although the event is expected to sell out Popejoy Hall on the University of New Mexico campus, a live stream will be available and shown on a large screen at the Bradbury Science Museum, 15th and Central Ave. in Los Alamos. McMillan will be one of more than 15 speakers scheduled to appear between 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
"Finding young people with the scientific and technical capabilities to carry on the Laboratory's national security missions will be critical, but the linkage to national security goes beyond that," McMillan said. "We will need a society with scientific literacy to make wise choices on the complex problems of our time, such as energy security and global climate change. Inspiring young people at early age – before the 5th grade – is extremely important."
McMillan will describe the events that led to his career in science and share suggestions on how non-scientists can inspire young people to STEM careers and scientific literacy.
EDITORS: News media wishing to cover the event in Albuquerque should contact Amanda Powers at email@example.com .
About Los Alamos National Laboratory

In a bid to more competitively compete against Apple, Nokia and other makers of mobile phones, Google on Monday said it would buy Motorola, once a successful supplier of mobile phones.
Google entered into a definitive agreement under which it will acquire Motorola Mobility for $40 per share in cash, or a total of about $12.5 billion, a premium of 63% to the closing price of Motorola Mobility shares on Friday, August 12, 2011. The transaction was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies.
The acquisition of Motorola Mobility, a dedicated Android partner, will enable Google to supercharge the Android ecosystem and will enhance competition in mobile computing. Motorola Mobility will remain a licensee of Android and Android will remain open. Google will run Motorola Mobility as a separate business.
"Motorola Mobility's total commitment to Android has created a natural fit for our two companies. Together, we will create amazing user experiences that supercharge the entire Android ecosystem for the benefit of consumers, partners and developers. I look forward to welcoming Motorolans to our family of Googlers," said Larry Page, chief executive officer of Google.
Today, more than 150 million Android devices have been activated worldwide, over 550,000 devices now lit up every day, through a network of about 39 manufacturers and 231 carriers in 123 countries.
Motorola has a history of over 80 years of innovation in communications technology and products, and in the development of intellectual property, which have helped drive the revolution in mobile computing. Its many industry milestones include the introduction of the world's first portable cell phone nearly 30 years ago, and the StarTAC - the smallest and lightest phone on earth at time of launch. In 2007, Motorola was a founding member of the Open Handset Alliance that worked to make Android the first truly open and comprehensive platform for mobile devices, said Larry Page, the head of Google.
"We recently explained how companies including Microsoft and Apple are banding together in anti-competitive patent attacks on Android. The U.S. Department of Justice had to intervene in the results of one recent patent auction to "protect competition and innovation in the open source software community" and it is currently looking into the results of the Nortel auction. Our acquisition of Motorola will increase competition by strengthening Google's patent portfolio, which will enable us to better protect Android from anti-competitive threats from Microsoft, Apple and other companies," said Mr. Page.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals in the U.S., the European Union and other jurisdictions, and the approval of Motorola Mobility's stockholders. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2011 or early 2012.
"We expect that this combination will enable us to break new ground for the Android ecosystem. However, our vision for Android is unchanged and Google remains firmly committed to Android as an open platform and a vibrant open source community. We will continue to work with all of our valued Android partners to develop and distribute innovative Android-powered devices," Andy Rubin, senior vice president of mobile at Google.

customer reviews for sidelights
"Best blind purchase yet"
By Blackout BlindsFan from Portland
These blinds are amazing for blocking out light. Easy to install. Depending on window framing you will have to install small amounts of weather striping to get the last tiny bits of light blocked out (Small amount included). The bottom of my window was not level and had a slight light streak I purchased some weather stripping and when blind is closed no light (Attached it to bottom of blind). If you need to block out light in your room for sleeping or home theater take a look at these. They are amazing at blocking light. I plan to purchase them again soon to start blocking more light out of my theater room.View this product
By from North Carolina
My husband and I work night shift and trying to sleep during the day with regular blinds/curtains is almost impossible. We bought and installed theses blinds in our bedroom, absolutely no light escapes thru. We were amazed and completely satisfied. They were easy to install and look great! Thank-you Blindsgalore!View this product

Hans Joohs exchangee to work at Schell's
NEW ULM – Sabrina Svechla, the exchangee from Germany for the Hans Joohs Exchange Program, will work on marketing for Schell's Brewery during her stay in New Ulm. She arrived on Tuesday.
Svechla works in the Human Resources department for Uzin Utz, a flooring company in Ulm, Germany. She is also earning her master's degree in business economics back home. She has twice previously traveled to the United States and spent a week in New York City.
She joined the Hans Joohs program because she's interested in learning the American way of working, along with any tips she might glean to bring back home. She was fascinated by the prospect of living with a host family, which would allow her to see the average, day-to-day way of life in the United States.
Because she is a big fan of basketball in Germany, she hopes to get a chance to see a Minnesota basketball game during her visit. She might also be going on a trip with her host family to Denver.
When asked if she has noticed any different habits from back home yet, she said there are a lot more speed limit signs on the roads here and that people drive at slower speeds. She said her trip from the airport in Minneapolis to New Ulm took around two hours, but the same distance would have only taken an hour back home.
Schell's is planning to involve Svechla in its Octoberfest activities. She will work with the brewery on a "collaboration beer" with the Golden Oxen brewery in Ulm. Brewers from Schell's and Golden Oxen have been working together for months on this beer, and both breweries will simultaneously release their nearly identical beers in October.
Svechla has experience in marketing when she worked for a fruit and vegetable wholesaler prior to her current job.
She will live in New Ulm until Nov. 8. Following that, she plans to take a trip to Florida.

Hagiwara, Sakutarō
Hagiwara Sakutarō 1886–1942
Japanese poet, critic, and essayist.
Hagiwara is considered by many critics to be the father of modern Japanese poetry. He was among the first poets to break away from the traditional, strictly metered forms of Japanese poetry as practiced in the writing of tanka and haiku. He also established a new aesthetic in Japanese poetry in which he attained a sustained poetic lyricism by using colloquial Japanese speech in free-verse poems. Hagiwara was deeply influenced by European nihilistic philosophies, and his poems, which often center on existential anxiety, are pervaded by melancholy and nostalgia.
Biographical Information
Hagiwara was born into a middle-class family in the provincial town of Maebashi, where his father was a successful physician. While in middle school he took a keen interest in literature and began submitting traditional tanka poems to the literary magazine Bunko. He later withdrew from school due to poor health, and he made sporadic attempts to earn his high school degree into his twenties. At home Hagiwara devoted himself to poetry and the study of Japanese and European literature. He also had an aptitude for music and became accomplished on mandolin and guitar. By 1910 Hagiwara had become a regular contributor to several poetry journals. He spent several years living a somewhat bohemian life, drifting between his hometown and Tokyo. During this time he explored his interest in Western philosophy and literature, and for a brief period he attended Christian churches. His lifestyle drew criticism from the Maebashi bourgeoisie, and his poetry includes many spiteful remarks about his native community. In 1916 he cofounded the magazine Kanjo with Muro Saisei, an author whose poems he greatly admired. The magazine featured a new style of modern Japanese poetry that was distinct from the highly intellectual poems that other magazines of the day were publishing. The following year Hagiwara published his first poetry collection, Tsuki ni hoeru (Howling at the Moon). The collection, which introduced Hagiwara's extraordinary talent for using colloquial speech in a free-verse style, gained wide critical acclaim and established his reputation as a significant new voice in Japanese poetry. He followed this success with several more volumes of poetry, criticism, and literary theory. Despite his high standing in the world of Japanese letters, Hagiwara relied on his family for financial support throughout his life. In 1919 he married Uedo Ineko, with whom he had two daughters. The marriage ended in divorce in 1929. His second marriage, to Oya Mitsuko in 1938, lasted only eighteen months. Much of Hagiwara's poetry conveys the isolation and loneliness that he felt, and his later works, particularly the poems in his 1934 collection Hyoto, are characterized by an increasingly despondent and nostalgic tone. He taught at the University of Meiji in Tokyo from 1934 until his death in 1942.
Major Works
Hagiwara's first poetry collection, Howling at the Moon, had a wide and immediate impact on the Japanese literary community. Although the collection contains some traditional tanka, many of the poems use colloquial language and are written in a loose, unmetered form. Hagiwara's success at elevating common Japanese speech to a poetic form was unprecedented. In this volume, commentators noted, Hagiwara essentially created a new aesthetic in modern Japanese poetry. In the preface to the work Hagiwara wrote: "Before this collection not a single poem had been written in colloquial language of this style, and before this collection the animation in the poetry one senses today did not exist." Critics also note that the poems in Howling at the Moon were among the first in modern Japanese poetry to address questions of existential anxiety. In the title piece Hagiwara likened the desperate psychological state of humanity to a lonely dog plaintively wailing at the moon. Throughout the collection Hagiwara created characters who are ridden with despair. Hagiwara's second collection of poems, Aoneko, achieved even greater critical acclaim than his first. The poems in this volume reveal Hagiwara's personal interest in the nihilistic philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer and the pessimistic ideology of Buddhism. The collection centers on abstract, metaphysical themes in which characters are nostalgic for times and places that they have never experienced. Hagiwara published a second "definitive" edition of this volume in 1936, in which he included the poem "The Corpse of a Blue Cat." The piece is a sad and nostalgic love poem in which time and memory are displaced. In it, the speaker says, "We have no past, no future, / And have faded away from the things of reality." Hagiwara's last major collection of poetry, Hyoto (1934), received mixed critical reviews. In this volume, Hagiwara abandoned his innovative use of colloquial Japanese and returned to writing in a more formal language in metered verse. The poems in the volume are set in a more realistic context, and they convey an over-whelming sense of despair and bitterness. In the autobiographical poem "Returning to My Parents' Home," for example, Hagiwara recounted the anger and rejection that he felt after his first wife left him. In addition to his poetry, Hagiwara was widely respected for his volumes on poetic theory. His most noted theoretical work, Shi no genri (1928), laid out his conception of what he contended should be the principal aims of poetry. In aphoristic statements Hagiwara asserted that poetry should strive to convey transcendental themes and be critical of reality.
Critical Reception
Critics agree that Hagiwara's poetry profoundly changed the face of modern Japanese poetry. His use of vernacular Japanese demonstrated that the language of the people could also be a poetic language, full of artistic depth and resonance. While other poets had attempted to write in the vernacular, the effect had always been that of everyday speech. It took Hagiwara's skillful use of words to prove that vernacular Japanese could in fact be used artistically in verse. His first collection, Tsuki ni hoeru (Howling at the Moon), met with enthusiastic critical acclaim and was recognized as a thoroughly modern expression of fear, a fear that Hagiwara described as a "physiological fear" that threat ens man's mental well-being. Another important contribution to modern Japanese poetry was his successful creation of a body of poetry motivated by the existential angst of a modern individual. Greatly influenced by Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, Hagiwara embodied the Western attitude of pessimism and despair. The bleak poetry of Howling at the Moon and Aoneho represented the first instance of Japanese poetry imitating modern Western philosophical ideas. His interest in free verse and colloquial language represented a watershed in modern Japanese poetry, and irrevocably brought the Japanese poetic tradition closer stylistically and philosophically to that of Western literature.

Hagiwara Sakutarō was born the first son of a prosperous physician in Maebashi, Gumma. Toward the end of his life Sakutarō described his birthplace as a "sanguinary, barbarous blank-paper zone utterly devoid of any cultural tradition," but to be fairer to reality, it was a place close enough to Tokyo for him to go there as he liked, yet far enough for him to yearn for "the city" until he finally moved there to live.

Hagiwara is by common consent the chief figure of modern Japanese poetry.

Sadly, but this seems not the case. Government is busy pushing through tax raise and solve problems with each other And for many it will be really difficult to prove too. There are many examples, like cherry farms where people usually went to pick up cherry's directly from trees. Tests showed that it was safe to eat, but no one visiting, now it's rotting.
But one positive note since this disaster, a lot more activity regarding power savings and renewable energy sources, especially solar. People are more aware, that if they won't stop using electricity on unnecessary stuff, number of nuclear power plants will only increase.

Foxconn Electronics, a leading contract maker of electronics, has reportedly applied to participate in the Global Mobility Bazaar led by Via Technologies, which signals interest of the company in netbooks. Currently Foxconn produces nearly every kind of computer components, but not mobile computers, hence, the information seems to be nearly a sensation.
According to a news-story by DigiTimes web-site, not only Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry), but also other contract makers of electronics, including Quanta Computer, Compal Electronics and Pegatron Technology are also considering the option of entering the white-box netbook market, but only Foxconn had reportedly applied to become a part of Via's GMB.
It is somewhat a surprise that Foxconn is interested in making low-cost netbooks based on microprocessors by Via Technologies as such systems by definition do not allow the company to earn high profit margins. On the other hand, the popularity of ultra low-cost personal computers (ULCPCs) is increasing rapidly in developing countries, which should ensure demand of high volumes, a particular area of Foxconn's expertise.
The GMB program is a collaborative effort between Via Technologies, Microsoft Corp., American Megatrends (AMI), ITE Technologies, SanDisk, several China-based makers of mobile computers as well as a number of infrastructure partners. Under the program, Via as well as AMI, ITE and Microsoft will help manufacturers to develop netbooks, notebooks and other mobile devices based on various central processing units (CPUs) by Via, such as C7 or Nano. The latter will also ensure that the quality of actual products is high enough.
The GMB's first 10" netbook is reportedly due in May '09 at price-points below competing solution. The alliance projects average selling price of its netbooks to be around $219 in 2010.

Feb. 27, 2013
GALESBURG—Carl Sandburg College President Dr. Lori L. Sundberg recently was presented the Knox College Alumni Achievement Award. Sundberg was one of four recipients of the award during a ceremony Feb. 15 in Knox's Seymour Library.
"It was an amazing ceremony and I'm very humbled to have been selected," Sundberg said. "I feel very blessed to have had the outstanding educational opportunities that I've had from Carl Sandburg College to Knox College and beyond."
Sundberg earned a cosmetology certificate from Sandburg in 1977 and went on to start her own business in Galesburg. She returned to the College in 1991 to complete her general education studies before enrolling in 1993 at Knox, where she earned bachelor's degrees in economics and history in 1995.
Sundberg earned her master's from Western Illinois University in 1998 and a doctorate of business administration from St. Ambrose University in 2003. After working at Sandburg as an instructor, coordinator of institutional research and several administrative positions — including vice president of academic services — Sundberg was named the College's sixth president in 2010. She is the first female president in Sandburg's history.
"Much of Lori's work," Knox President Teresa Amott said before presenting the award to Sundberg, "has been inspired by a deep love of the Galesburg community, higher education and the understanding that many roads lead students to pursue higher learning."
Sundberg was nominated in January for consideration for the American Association of Community Colleges Board of Directors, and she serves as a member of the AACC's 21st Century Initiative Implementation Team. Sundberg also is a peer reviewer with the North Central Association of the Higher Learning Commission and the co-chair of the Student Development Committee for the Illinois Community College Council of Presidents.

Topic: Changing rows and cols for text_fields attribute with CSS
Hello I was wondering if their was a way to set the rows and cols attribute of a text field with css?
I don't mean the size because the text will still only be one line. If there is not a way I tried it with the rails forum helper but it didn't change the field.
<%= f.text_field :content %>
<%= f.text_field :content, :rows => 15, :cols => 80 %>
results in the same size field
I guess what I am really asking is if any one knows how to use the forum helper to make large text fields for things like edit your profile or write a post actions.

Gloversville drug bust nets over 400 baggies of heroin
One pastor to serve two city parishes
The shortage of Roman Catholic priests has prompted the Albany Diocese to assign one priest to lead the two parishes in Gloversville and Johnstown until further notice.
Since January, the Rev. Donald Czelusniak, longtime pastor of Gloversville's Church of the Holy Spirit, has also served as pastor of the Holy Trinity Parish in Johnstown, according to Deacon Frank Berning of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany.
Czelusniak will serve indefinitely in the dual post and will be assisted by an associate pastor.
Berning said the diocese has 127 parishes in 14 counties, and the number of priests it has available is decreasing.
"We are looking at locations where we have an exceptional leader who may be able to lead two parishes, and we will assist them with a retired priest and associate priest so that the Mass schedule can still be maintained," Berning said. "They are being called for their leadership skills and the diocese will assist them to help out with the sacramental needs of the parish."
He said the change may put the diocese and parishes in a position to strengthen the community, "because it will have a broader leadership base and will be able to reach out better and fulfill the needs and mission of Christ in a more complete way."
The Rev. Rendell Torres, who was ordained in 2010, served as the parochial vicar (associate pastor) under Czelusniak at the Church of the Holy Spirit in Gloversville, but Bishop Howard Hubbard appointed him as the new pastor of Our Lady of Hope Parish in Whitehall and St. Ann's Parish in Fort Ann this month, according to the Holy Spirit bulletin.
The bulletin also said he will lead the summer vigil Masses at the Chapel of Assumption on Hulett's Landing near Lake George and will minister to the inmates at nearby prisons.
"He very much looks forward to serving the faith communities of Our Lady of Hope and St. Ann," according to a bulletin from Our Lady of Hope.
Czelusniak and an associate pastor yet to be named will conduct six Masses weekly – three in Johnstown and three in Gloversville, on Saturday and Sunday, Berning said.
Czelusniak replaces the Rev. Thomas Morette at Holy Trinity because Morette was transferred in December to oversee two parishes in Saratoga County. Different visiting priests celebrated Mass at Holy Trinity until Czelusniak's appointment to the church became official, Berning said.
With Morette no longer in the county, only two priests presently are serving Catholics in Fulton County. Besides Czelusniak, the other priest is the Rev. Neil Draves-Arpaia, pastor of the Northville and Broadalbin churches.
Berning said he hasn't heard anything negative about the changes but actually has heard positive things because they now have the right amount of churches and the best way to handle the coverage.
Both of the churches in Johnstown and Gloversville have witnessed major changes over the last few years. In 2009, Holy Trinity Church in Johnstown was formed from the consolidation of Immaculate Conception, St. Anthony's Church and St. Patrick's Church. That move came in response to changing demographics, declining church revenues and a decline in the number of priests available, Berning said.
The former St. Patrick's Church has now been renamed Holy Trinity Church and serves as the primary Catholic Church in Johnstown.
The Church of the Holy Spirit was created from the consolidation of four parishes in Gloversville, including St. Francis de Sales, St. Mary's Church, Sacred Heart and St. Mary of Mount Carmel.

When he's not traveling the world in search of inspiration for his textile designs, John Robshaw heads home to a haven of exotic treasures in Manhattan.
Trend Alert at Home: Velvet
When he's not traveling the world in search of inspiration for his textile designs, John Robshaw heads home to a haven of exotic treasures in Manhattan.More
The textiles designer John Robshaw has a knack for finding unique and affordable spaces in which to live and work. In the mid-1990s, fresh out of art school, he set up his painting studio in the squash court of an abandoned Wall Street men's club. He then moved to Bangkok, where he rented a traditional Thai wood house. By 2001, he was back in Manhattan, residing in an East Village tenement walk-up, and designing hand-block-printed Indian bedding out of a 1920s office building in Chelsea.
Robshaw, who has matinée-idol looks and a low-key demeanor, travels to places like Vietnam, Bolivia, and Zimbabwe to collaborate with local artisans on fabrics that combine traditional techniques with fresh pattern and color. But he is also a sharp businessman. His indigo bedding, Afghan tribal pillows, and cotton ikats have become status symbols for the fashionable set—including the California decorator Michael S. Smith, who used Robshaw's bedding in Sasha's and Malia's bedrooms in the Obama White House.
Seven years ago, Robshaw finally felt financially secure enough to purchase his own home, but was faced with sticker shock. Priced out of most of Manhattan, he was considering Brooklyn when two architect friends invited him to see their apartment in a high rise on the Lower East Side. Robshaw discovered a vibrant enclave of kosher bakeries, Latino grocery stores, and Asian restaurants. Uptown, the view of the East River from the couple's apartment would have commanded a fortune. But here, apartments were selling for half the price of comparable spaces in the East Village.
