Mixed bag

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
I will start by saying I have mixed feelings towards this product. I ordered three different products from LR, and I must say this is not up to my expectations. At least, not all of the pieces. It may be OK by itself, but it pales compared to the other products I received.I like the material these items are made out of. It is thick and flexible, and looks like they will hold up fine to my kids' constant playing. I also like the assortment included in each basket. Some of the foods are wonderful in design, being very lifelike. The baskets themselves are very cute, well sized and seem well constructed. However, there are some pieces that are made out of cheaper looking plastic (for example, the strawberries), and the poor design in others makes them unrecognizable (pancakes are rust-colored flattish disks, the English muffin half looks hideous), and so my kids refuse to play with them. I would have returned them to get the newly redesigned set insteadt, but these were Christmas presents and my kids tore the packaging apart. I would still buy from Learning Resources, as I am pleased with their other products, but would steer towards the pricier, redesigned meal baskets.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Thanks for your honest review. We have a new set of healthy foods in our New Sprouts line where the foods are very realistic looking and high quality.

Measurements & Ordering The Right Size
Shoe sizes vary by style—they run long, short, wide or narrow. We test fit size 8.5 shoes, and sometimes recommend ordering a larger or smaller size. Look for this information on any product page. (e.g. Fit: Runs long, buy a half size down.)
If one foot is larger than the other, always fit the larger foot.
The letters "4A", "3A", "2A", "B", or "C" below the sizes refer to the width of the shoe. The following chart explains the various widths Arthur Beren carries:
|4A or SS
|= Extra Narrow
|2A or N
|= Narrow
|B or M
|= Medium (Standard)
|C or D or W
|= Wide
|2E or WW
|= Extra Wide
Fitting Tips
Get sized regularly by a professional, preferably using a Brannock device. It is important to measure the width of the foot and to take into consideration the type of arch you have.
Wear the right socks. Consider your plans and activities and wear the most breathable and absorbent socks or stockings for the occasion with the appropriate footwear. If going bare, keep clean and dry.
Check the construction. Look at the sole and heel of the shoe to see what kind of terrain the shoe is meant to handle. Also look inside to assess the lining and upper elements of the shoe, checking to see how they will address your needs. A leather lined shoe will generally last longer than one without lining, though the unlined shoe may be lighter and more appreciated in warmer climates.
Walk around. When trying on a new pair of shoes, always try on both pair and walk around a bit - always on a clean indoor surface of course. Flex your arch and toes to see if the shoes feel good while you move about. Try shoes on in the afternoon or evening. Feet swell to their largest as the day progresses, so you will get a better reading of your true size once your feet have warmed up to the day.
Some Specifics
Allow some time to break in a great pair of leather shoes--the best ones are a little tight in the beginning. By doing it right you'll have shoes that are molded to your feet perfectly. See the How To Care tab for advice on proper shoe maintenance.
If the upper of the shoe is made of elastic or an elastic-blend fabric the shoe should fit snugly and need no breaking in. Shoes should never squeeze or cramp your toes.
If your shoes are slightly too loose in the in-step, a toe pad can be added to create a better fit, preventing any unnecessary friction.
For more heel and arch support or extra cushioning, consider custom fitted orthotic inserts, or even some gel inserts to target the problem.

About the Designer
Attilio Giusti Leombruni, in Mariana Giuisti's own words, is refined, pure, timeless, smart and classic. Who wouldn't agree? In an age where production has shifted towards the Orient, the Giusti family still prides themselves on traditional Italian craftsmanship, and exceptional long-lasting quality.
Mariana Giusti is the brand's current and third generation designer, who draws inspiration from her own life and natural surroundings. Her focus on versatility is evident through the brand's collection, which ranges from riding boots to ballet flats, and encompasses a wide demographic of clientele. Mariana's passion for shoes and style is evident through her art-like approach to color and design, as well emphasis on the company belief that each shoe is its own work of art.
The Attilio Giusti Leombruni brand is exceptional in the fact that their shoes are made using natural dyes, non-toxic glues and in a factory run on solar power in a small Italian province. The mission at hand - to maintain tradition while embracing new technologies – is certainly being accomplished.

Very Virtual: Storage for Highly Converged Networks
Server virtualization is, without a doubt, the most impactful infrastructure trend for today's enterprise data center architects. Our latest InformationWeek Analytics Virtualization Management Survey shows 65% of respondents plan to have 25% or more of their production servers virtualized by the end of this year; 26% will virtualize 75% or more. Other polls show the number with no plans to adopt in the low single digits. But server virtualization poses challenges to long-standing architectural assumptions, demanding greater flexibility, performance and integration. In return, virtualization gives us a bridge to the future, enabling new, highly flexible data center and hybrid internal/external computing concepts to become reality. (S3110711)

Why Luxury Hotels Are Uncorking Wine Clubs
SAN DIEGO (TheStreet) -- Gathered for the conversation were sommeliers from Four Seasons properties throughout Europe.
Wine experts from the retail industry, wine bloggers and journalists were also in attendance.
The topic: the attributes of four pre-selected wines.
And while many of the participants in this conversation were present at the Amaranto Bar at the Four Seasons Hotel London, many more were participating via Twitter as part of the Four Seasons' second virtual wine tasting event.
"This is a way of extending the reach of our experts to more people," says Sorya Gaulin, director of corporate PR and social media for Four Seasons. "We are one of the few hotel companies that has very awarded sommeliers, people who are certified wine experts."
The virtual wine tastings are also a way for the Four Seasons to demonstrate what can be done in the virtual world while maintaining very relevant links to the real world and the hotel business, Gaulin says.
But more importantly, the Twitter tastings are just one way luxury hotels are using wine these days to reach out and engage guests.
The Four Seasons, something of a trailblazer in the virtual world, has also launched a "Sommelier on Demand" program on its Facebook
"Lobster poached in butter. Would like to add wine to the butter -- what should I use? And what wine should I serve with the meal?"
The response from a renowned sommelier is posted within minutes: "Butter's the key factor here for both flavor and mouthfeel, and Chardonnay is the answer to both questions."

The growth of evil
To the editor:
Evil seems more prevalent every day.?When senseless acts like the bombing of the marathon races occur we need to take a look at the statistics in the book written by George Grant, director of the Kings Meadow study center near Nashville. He states some very unpleasant statistic in a book written in 1995. Over the last three decades our index of leading cultural indicators have shown the number of illegitimate births have increased 400 percent, divorce rates have quadrupled, domestic violence increased by 320 percent and the number of children abandoned or left on their own has quintupled, and teen suicides have sky rocked by 200 percent. This has gotten even worse in the last five years. In the meantime our churches, private associations and community associations that have provided strength and stability to our nation have been undermined and distorted by our government and social engineers. Government under the guise of helping us was actually hurting us. Government spending on social programs has increased by 65o percent. But instead of helping the situation, it has made matters worse, in fact figures show ever dollar poured into these programs ended going in a minus direction.
Through the tax formula we have taken the dollars away from the productive industries and business and poured them in the social or giveaway programs and yet we have re-elected them. These same people have voted for every conceivable evil known by man: Same sex marriage, euthanasia, abortion etc. If they don't know that killing babies is wrong they probably aren't getting much else right either. If they don't value life, killing of 500,000 tax payers might get their attention.
Among these killings, certainly were some clergy,teachers, engineers,scientists and doctors. There might even have been the inventor of the cure of the disease you are dying of right now. We have given our prosperous nation to the socialistic regime as so many failed nations have done in the past. We have taken God's laws (the Ten Commandments) and replaced them with man's laws. As we reelect these people are we the modem day (Judas) that sold God for 30 pieces of silver. We might consider that when walk into the voting booth and color that black dot.

Congress celebrates Marriage and Family Life
Tuesday June 12, 2012
The central role of Communion in marriage and family life was the theme of the 50th International Eucharistic Congress yesterday, Tuesday 12th June.
The day began with morning prayer. Cardinal Keith O'Brien, Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh, Scotland, prayed with hundreds of pilgrims in the Congress Prayer Space at 9am.
Among a series of popular workshops, talks, youth events and exhibitions, pilgrims had an opportunity to hear Archbishop of Manila, Philippines, Luis Antonio G. Tagle who presented a talk titled 'The Abuse of Children: Accepting Responsibility, Bringing Healing'. Archbishop Tagle spoke about clergy sexual misconduct with some reflections from Asia.
Archbishop Tagle explained: "The so-called crisis of the clergy unfolding these past years is immense in scope. It includes allegations of sexual misconduct, suspicions about the clergy's handling of money, accusations of misuse of authority, inappropriate lifestyle and a host of other things. The faithful are appalled at the rudeness of their pastors."
"At first glance, this crisis seems to be about explicitly sexual behaviour only. But a closer look at the actual cases reveals that deep theological, spiritual, anthropological and pastoral issues are involved. That is why the impressionist way by which some people tackle the problem is quite inadequate and even unfair," he added.
In the main RDS arena, Archbishop of Perth, Barry Hickey delivered the catechesis on 'God as Loving Communion'. The musicians and performers on the main arena stage included: Gardiner Street Gospel Choir, Kisi Kids: International Catholic Movement, Composer Ian Callanan, Diocesan choirs from Kildare & Leighlin, Ossory & Ferns, Waterford & Lismore and directed by musician Father Liam Lawton.
The Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus, Mr Carl Anderson, gave a personal testimony as a husband and father on the Eucharist and faith in his life, in the main RDS arena. He explained that "too often the cultural commentary about marriage —especially found in defence of divorce—suggests marriage and family is risky because one's commitment and contribution may not 'pay off'—that there may not be an adequate return on one's investment in the marriage."
Mr Anderson added "And yet, our sacrifices are put in perspective at every Mass when we say: "Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof. What a dramatic expression of Christ's love for us!"
This was followed by teacher and columnist, Breda O'Brien who delivered a personal testimony on marriage and family life. "In our family, the kitchen table is very important. The moment when each child left the highchair and joined the rest of us was a great moment. It is there that we learn to listen, and to forgive and be forgiven. It is there that we are nourished, body and soul. It is there that we learn to be thankful, and to give thanks for all we have. In that way, it is the place where we first learn the meaning of Eucharist, of Christ present in our midst. If we want to re-learn the value of the Eucharist, perhaps we also need to re-learn the value of the kitchen table and the family meal," O'Brien said.
The principal concelebrants at the celebration of Mass were Cardinal André Vingt-Trois; Archbishop of Paris, Cardinal George Alencherry; Major Archbishop Siro-Malabar Church, Archbishop Barry Hickey; Emeritus Archbishop of Perth, Archbishop Gerald Cyprien Lacroix; Quebec City, and Bishop Joachin Hermes Robledo Romero; Paraguay.
Delivering the homily, Cardinal André Vingt -Trois said the first mission of Christian families is to live concretely by the values of "reconciliation, mutual acceptance and joy in giving one's life for one's loved ones".
Meanwhile, the Papal Legate Cardinal Marc Ouellet attended a special meeting at Áras an Uachtaráin with President Michael D Higgins and his wife Sabina, along with guests Archbishop Diarmuid Martin and the Papal Nuncio Archbishop Charles Brown.

The Boca Raton Museum of Art recently unveiled three exhibitions that challenge artistic and cultural norms. "Create, Transitions: Victor Matthews and Paolo Nicola Rossini" and "Purvis Young: Works from the Collection" investigate the idea of personal reflection and diverse materials that allow both trained and untrained artists to communicate their ideas.
"Create" is a major group exhibition that features more than 100 pieces of art by 20 artists from organizations that support the work of artists with developmental disabilities. The museum hopes to inspire and educate visitors, pushing the boundaries of contemporary art by encouraging "outsider art," a term coined by art critic Roger Cardinal in 1972 to describe the work of artists with no formal training or contact with the art world.
On display in the "Create" exhibit:
Bertha Otoya, Serpiente, 2010, sharpie marker and ink wash with acrylic block print on Chinese celebration paper, 22 x 30 inches, courtesy of the artist and Creativity Explored, San Francisco
Outsider art brings fresh ideas and concepts into the creative community and is increasingly recognized for its originality and raw energy in institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
From Purvis Young:
Purvis Young (American 1943-2010), Pushin' on Through, circa 1985, paint on wood, 24 x 30 inches, BRMA Permanent Collection 2006.13.10 Gift of the Rubell Family Collection, Miami
"The 'Create' exhibition offers exceptional evidence that art is a unique and significant method of expression and communication," explained museum director Steven Maklansky. "Additionally, we are confident that the exhibition will compel our audiences to refocus and reevaluate their views on the capabilities and needs of people with disabilities."
"Purvis Young: Works from the Collection" will celebrate a particularly renowned outsider artist from Overtown, Miami. His works depicted life in one of America's poorest neighborhoods using found objects, including construction site materials and discarded books. Young's work communicates the turmoil in his poverty-stricken home, reflecting both images of daily life and personal symbolism he created to convey his perception of urban life.
"Transition: Victor Matthews and Paolo Nicola Rossini" merges with the outsider art in its originality and uninhibited emotion. Matthews and Rossini were inspired by the transient nature of dreams and memories. Their work explores the idea of subconscious thought, time and space.
From "Transition: Victor Matthews and Paolo Nicola Rossini":
Victor Matthews (American, born 1963) Frozen City IV, 2013, wood, canvas, sneaker, paint, and cardboard, 29 x 19 x 7 inches. Courtesy of the Artist
Matthews' painted sculptures of New York City transform the harsh skyline into a soft white landscape of unimposing and muted skyscrapers, cars and street grids. The serene cityscapes have a calming effect and focus on the underlying beauty often masked by the chaos of urban life.
Rossini's dreamy photographs capture what feels like fleeting memories, rather than still images. His focus on nature allows him to pull patterns and textures that are instantly recognizable, while digital editing and layering give them an ethereal and distant quality.
For expert insight into the exhibitions, curatorial highlight tours are scheduled throughout the exhibitions' run, each focusing on a different installation. On Thursday, August 1, Kathleen Goncharov, curator of exhibitions and audience engagement, will lead a tour of "Transition." On Thursday, August 15, Goncharov will lead a tour of "Purvis Young" from 2-3 p.m. On Tuesday, August 20 from 2-3 p.m., Marisa Pascucci, curator of twentieth century and contemporary art, will lead a curator's whim tour, giving guests a chance to explore the permanent collection throughout the second floor gallery, highlighting seemingly random works that are indelibly linked. And on Thursday, September 12 from 2-3 p.m., Goncharov will lead guests on exploration of "Create."
- The curatorial highlight tours are free with normal admission; for more information, call 561-392-2500 or email email@example.com.
- All three exhibitions will be on display through September 22.
- Admission costs $8.

Can a horror film lead people to God?
(RNS) This weekend's box office winner, "The Conjuring," is a creepy horror flick with all the requisite creaky doors, demon spawn and blood-curdling exorcism scene. But filmmaker brothers Chad and Carey Hayes hope it can prompt viewers to think about God and the existence of evil.

Jumbo wrote:Losing Geoff Sindelar saddens me, like losing a piece of my childhood and my connection back home.It is fitting that the most active topic on the Cleveland Indians forum this week is a discussion regarding whether pitchers throwing first pitch strikes is really important, or merely important. The Professor held a clear understanding of what baseball was about: throwing strikes. It was both maddening and entertaining to listen to him rant about the last night's pitcher who walked three guys in an inning, demanding to know why the Tribe has to settle that meatball. Although statistics have since refined our understanding of the game, reducing all of its magic to numbers would only dim the passion of Sindelar.I have called sports talk radio only twice in my life. When I was nine or ten years old, I called Sindelar on consecutive nights. The first night, I was kept on hold past my bedtime and hung up the phone. The second night, when I told the call screener my name and location, he asked if I had hung up the night before. I told him that I was, but that I would stay on the line that night. Even though I was on hold for an hour past when I hung up the night before, I stayed on long enough to ask Sindelar my three questions about sports, of which I remember two: how to calculate slugging percentage, and what were the first sports franchises of each sport in Cleveland. After hanging up the phone, I rushed downstairs to listen to the end of my call due to the radio delay. When my call had ended, Sindelar did not criticize me for filling the airwaves for such banality. Instead, he thanked the "youngster" for his interest in learning more about sports. It is a credit to Sindelar that, unlike more modern sports yakkers who only want to throw bricks at callers and cohosts, he only wanted to throw a brick into his television after the Indians' closer blew the game in the ninth. (Of course, the Professor could zing callers who deserved it.)To my knowledge, the last consistent sports media position that he held was a spot on the fledgling sportstalkcleveland.com eight or nine years ago. That was not a happy time for Cleveland sports: the Cavs were pre-Lebron, the Indians were crumbling after their half-decade of dominance, and the joy of the having football back in town was wearing off. Nevertheless, it was great to hear the Professor again, particularly over the Internet since I could hear him in Boston. A humorous anecdote: the same commercials would run over and over in between segments of the program. One commercial was Sindelar interviewing Darko Milicic's agent. Sindelar asked the agent to compare him to a current player, and the agent replied, "Kevin Garnett."To learn that Sindelar was only 62 is a further disappointment. I always thought that he had the joy of experiencing a World Series title.RIP Professor, you will be missed.

In the Catbird Seat/Joe Kirkish
"The Finnish word SISU can be defined as a characteristic that takes over when determination and fortitude run out." – Deborah Frontiera
Sisu was present everywhere last week. It came after years of Finlandia's preparation for FinnFest.
From all walks of life, Finns of all stripe arrived, stayed a week, and already the event is a fond memory.
FinnFest, a whirlwind of activity in the midst of a Copper Country monsoon, proved that sisu is more than just an idle word. Despite the downpour, thousands arrived – on foot and with canes, walkers and wheel chairs with great expectations.
They settled into dorm rooms, motels, homes of friends or relatives – their motor vehicles swelling traffic, confused with our strange street addresses and the various spread-out exhibit locations from Finlandia to MTU to Calumet and beyond.
The common sight the first day revealed people by the dozens wandering lost down campus corridors in search of room numbers, but by the last day they maneuvered like old time Yoopers, slowing down, but never missing a beat from dawn to dusk.
Statistics are only a slight indication of what actually happened here. Imagine guests arriving from everywhere three special plane loads from Finland alone and others arriving by American airlines, cars, and motor homes. It was almost expected that some of the attendees would arrive from Texas in boots and 10-gallon hats, while others came in a wide variety of shorts and sandals. The boys from Finland were easily recognized by the shaved sides of their heads a style that hasn't yet quite caught on in the US and it was easy to pick out the other foreigners by their trim figures.
Unlike most conventions in which people remain insular within esoteric groupings, these visitors young, old, fat, skinny, tall, short, blonde, brunette, grey and white heads mixed like the ingredients of a giant cake getting acquainted like long lost family members, exchanging names and addresses for future use. Many checked directories for familiar surnames in hopes of finding long lost relatives and some won out.
Success stories abounded. One of the filmmakers discovered a name similar to his own, a person until now he'd never known existed. A local couple bumped into a couple from Finland whom they'd met there, but lost contact until this accidental meeting.
Humanity in action!
One white-haired little lady who fractured her foot hobbled it from program to program with sisu and a smile.
An elderly lady from Milwaukee bypassed the nostalgic events to focus on those educational movies detailing the Finnish wars and even taking advantage of Pine Mountain events and came away with eyes sparkling with delight.
A hubby asked for direction to a men's room, then vanished while his wife stood where he left her, fearful of losing him among the thronging crowds. Similar "lost-and-founds" were constant, cell phones working overtime.
Groups formed outside Fisher Hall waiting for a bus to take them up to the Tori at the sports complex – then, later back to Fisher Hall, their Nokia-labeled shopping bags bursting with goodies.
Things slowed down a bit when a woman experienced what appeared to be an epileptic seizure in the middle of a costume demonstration. But to everyone's relief, she was almost immediately carted away by a 911 team to the hospital, as the event resumed.
When the rains came – and came – and came – one might expect spirits would be dampened, but no. The parking lots and bus drop-off spots revealed a panoply of kaleidoscopic colored umbrellas as people leaped puddles and dashed to the nearest entrances – no complaints, just chuckles. And as the foyers became slick with water, the kids made a skidding playground of it.
What a non-Finn could deduce from casual observations proved the old adage: the more people differ on the surface, the more alike they are underneath.
The years of preparation had paid off. Directional booklets and pamphlets determine where to go, what to see, how to get there, etc. Phenomenal precautionary on Finnest committees' plans made life easier for everyone. The final effect was like a game for adults hunting, calling, waiting, moving from place to place except that no one lost, everyone won with the exhibits, demonstrations, lectures, music entertainment, films and socializing.
The paucity of non-Finnish local residents proved it was not easy for locals to maintain a normal schedule and still get involved with many of the hundreds of events but many did and were enriched by discovering amazing facts about Finnish folklore, history, politics, art and entertainment and with just human encounters an unexpected bonanza. Lucky were those who did take the time to dip into a culture known only tangentially, vaguely, and from an inadequate empirical point of view. Those who didn't well, too bad; an exciting, once-in-a-lifetime experience has been missed.
And as FinnFest recedes in memory, the Pine Mountain festival continues with more entertainment tonight at the Rosza with an operatic salad: "Viva Verdi!"
Rotten Tomatoes averages: "Monsters University, B-; "World War Z," C+

I am happy for opportunity to join community of potters and tea lovers here. For introduce myself I will use the words from my webpage :
"My relationship to the tea culture begun long before my first clay work had seen the light of day. So I naturally came to ceramics with a focus on the ceramics used in the tea ceremony. Good pottery is as essential to the tea as much as the pure water and good company. On my journey I am searching for the links between the natural look of the wabi style and traditional European techniques. I use fire, the Phoenix, who gives my vessels character and life."
As I drink tea and as I fire tea wares I have still more things to handle and to learn than I have managed and I have learned. So I hope that be the part of this community will help me to learn more and I also hope that sharing my experiences will help community.
We are working on new design of our website but you can still see some of my work here:
direct contact to me is firstname.lastname@example.com
Please turn a blind eye on my English but ask on what ever you are interested in.

HD View is a plugin that currently supports all major browsers on the Windows platform. The first time that you visit a page with HD View content you will be prompted to install the HD View plugin. After this, it should automatically load the content.
There are two mouse-based interaction modes. You can switch between modes with the following icons in the upper right corner of the screen or by using the 'H' short-cut key.
|Map mode: Drag the image left/right and up/down with the left mouse.
|QTVR mode: Panning is achieved by clicking the left mouse and moving it away from the click position
Keyboard controls can also be used. You can zoom in/out with the mouse wheel, or with the +/- keyboard keys, or zoom in by double clicking the left mouse, shift-double click left mouse zooms out.
Tone Adjustment:
There are three tone adjustment modes. You can switch between modes with the following icons in the upper right corner of the screen or by using the 'T' or 'shift'-'T' short-cut key.
|No Adjustment
|Exposure Only Adjustment
|Compress or Expand the Dynamic Range as necessary
When browsing very large images often times the ideal tone balance can not be pre-computed. For example a dark region may be appropriately dark when zoomed out, but when zooming into that area some gain may be necessary to see details. Much like the auto gain on a camera, tone adjustment attempts to compute the 'best' adjustment for the pixels currently in view. Please see our Soapbox video for more details on tone-adjustment.
Below is a table of some examples of how tone adjustment works. Click on any of the images to access the permalink and see it in action.
In the first case the user has zoomed into a mountain that is part of a much larger gigapixel image. Exposure only mode doesn't do much as the region is already reasonably exposed. However the curve mode automatically determines that the scene is a bit flat and adjusts the contrast.
In the second case the user has zoomed all the way out on a High Dynamic Range (HDR) scene. Here exposure mode has the same difficulty a camera would have capturing this scene and it picks an exposure that compromises between indoor and outdoor parts of the scene. In curve mode HD View determines that a dynamic range compression is necessary for this particular view on the scene and it performs an on the fly 'tone-mapping'. Unlike other tone-mapping techniques this one is continuously recomputed given the scene in view.
There are two lens modes. You can switch between modes with the following icons in the upper right corner of the screen or by using the 'L' short-cut key.
|Auto Lens
|Fisheye Lens
When browsing wide field of view images it is desirable to change the virtual lens that HD View is using. When a photographer needs to capture a very wide field of view, they would use a fisheye lens. To capture a very zoomed in narrow field of view they would use a telephoto lens. In a similar way HD View allows you to change virtual lenses. The Auto lens automatically varies the projection from rectilinear to equirectangular depending on the current field of view. The Fisheye lens uses a fisheye projection, which has the property that when zoomed is very near a rectilinear, and zoomed out gives images a convex appereance.
Below is a table of some examples of how lens mode works. Click on any of the images to access the permalink and see it in action.

Clovis clobbers Portales
February 10, 2007
CLOVIS — By the end of the first half, the Clovis Wildcats had hit so many 3-pointers the cheerleaders ran out of t-shirts to throw to the crowd.
Clovis set a school record with 16 treys on Saturday night in dominating Portales 82-48 at Rock Staubus Gym.
The Rams (14-9, 6-1) continue District 4-3A action Friday night at Dexter.
Junior Bryce Hill sank six 3-pointers on his way to 22 points. Meantime, junior Jaden Isler added 19 points and senior Cody Thornsbury 15, with each hitting five treys.
The previous record for 3-pointers was 15, set during the 1995-96 season.
Hill said the Cats come out every game hoping to break the record.
"We usually decide every night is the night we're going to do it, but I guess we just did it tonight," Hill said. "Cody started it, Jaden was in the middle and I guess I finished it."
The Cats drained nine 3-pointers in the first half and led 43-25 at the break.
"We don't talk a lot about records, but that's kind of a neat record," Clovis coach J.D. Isler said. "And that's pretty tough to do. I didn't know we were that close until one of our assistant coaches told me we were at 14."
Senior Todd McBroom was the Rams' lone double-figure scorer, finishing with four 3-pointers and 14 points.
Portales led 11-10 lead with 3:55 remaining in the first quarter as Clovis struggled from the field early.
Senior Michael Lewis scored the Cats' next six points on three layups. Coach Isler said Lewis, who finished with 12 points, led a strong inside presence which helped set up the Cats' hot outside shooting.
"It's really a work ethic. We talk to our kids that you can make yourself a good shooter if you're willing to get in the gym and shoot," J.D. Isler said. "But Jaden, Cody and Bryce have spent many hours in the gym."
Clovis went on a 14-2 run in the second quarter for a 40-19 lead as Jaden Isler and Thornsbury combined for four straight treys. Junior Ky Mitchell responded with consecutive 3-pointers, but the Rams' deficit was too much to make up.
"Clovis is the best shooting team in the state of New Mexico," Portales coach Mark Gallegos said. "I told my kids, that stuff just doesn't happen. It happens because those kids are in the gym playing and shooting."

USA Men finish fourth
Christchurch, N.Z.—The USA Softball Men's National Team dropped a heartbreaker to Australia, 5-4, to finish fourth at the ISF Men's World Championships. The U.S had a chance to tie the game in the seventh but left the bases loaded.
The U.S., which went undefeated (6-0) in pool play, was 1-2 during the playoff round to finish fourth.
The Aussies took the lead in the top of the second with three consecutive hits to start the inning. Clean-up hitter Kris Kiefel led off the inning with a double and moved to third on a single to right field by Terry Downes. Pitcher Andrew Kirkpatrick helped his cause with a single through the left side to score Kiefel and place Downes at third. A squeeze bunt by Peter Clout scored Downes and Kirkpatrick took third with heads up base running when it was left uncovered by the U.S. defense. Australia stretched its lead to 3-0 on an error by U.S. shortstop Joe Morales that allowed Kirkpatrick to score.
The lead was cut to 3-2 in the bottom of the inning after Chris DeLarwelle (Appleton, WI) and Chad Boom (Barnesville, MN) drew walks and Don Garvey (Greenville, WI) singled to load the bases. Morales made up for the error in the field with a single up the middle to drive in the two runs.
Boom put the USA right back in the game with one swing of the bat sending a 1-1 offering from Kirkpatrick over the right field wall to tie the game at 3-3.
A leadoff single by Kirkpatrick got the Aussies going again in the top of the seventh then a one out triple by Zenon Winters put them on top 4-3. The lead was stretched to 5-3 after a successful squeeze play by pinch hitter Paul Maisey scored Winters from third to give the Aussies a comfortable two run lead.
Down to its final three outs, the U.S. would not go away with a fight. Chris Miljavac (St. Joseph, MO) laced a triple to right field and Ross Dey (Sedalia, MO) singled down the right field line to cut the lead to 5-4. But despite loading the bases, the U.S. couldn't push the tying run across and was eliminated from the tournament.
Morales drove in two RBI in the game and six different U.S. hitters collected hits.
This marks only the second time since 1966 that the U.S. Men's team has finished out of the medals at the World Championships.

Central Oregon Spa Director Could Use a Massage
When people learn that I work at a spa, they always say how lucky I am to work in such a relaxing environment. "It must be so zen-like". Well, I am extremely lucky, but I gotta say, it is a job (a good one, but still a job). And because it is a job there is certainly a good deal of stress that goes along with it.
As the Spa Director at Sage Springs Club and Spa at Sunriver Resort, not every day is "peachy" (although most are). I have the same stresses that everyone has running a business or household during these crazy economic times. There are the budgets, the planning, the marketing deadlines and the other daily challenges. What keeps my head above water? A spa treatment!
Very rarely do I indulge in my own spa treatments (another misconception about my job), but during these times there is absolutely nothing better than scheduling, and anticipating, a little time out for me at the spa. To rejuvinate I'll be going for a Gemstone Energy massage. Gemstone oils are a distinctive blend of pure synergy herbs and base oils created to nourish and restore balance. And right about now, that's exactly what I need - balance! 50 minute or 80 minute? Definitely 80 minute- (this is an 80 minute time of year).
Ahhhhh...I'm relaxed just thinking about it!

President Obama Awards Krista National Humanities Medal; Parker Offers a Poem on Darkness; A Preview of Our Latest App; Hay Bales as Art; A Music Mix That'll Haunt You
This week is a time of celebration and joy for all of us at On Being. The President of the United States awarded Krista Tippett the 2013 National Humanities Medal "for thoughtfully delving into the mysteries of human existence." The White House writes:
"On the air and in print, Ms. Tippett avoids easy answers, embracing complexity and inviting people of all faiths, no faith, and every background to join the conversation."
She joins an incredible list of past medal recipients, including Joan Didion, Wendell Berry, Steven Spielberg, Studs Terkel, Quincy Jones, and Bill Moyers, to name a few. As someone who has worked with Krista more than a decade on this adventure, I'm so pleased we can share this moment with you. It's been an absolute honor and I couldn't be more heartened to see her recognized for her talents... and tenacity. Oh, and you can watch the video of the ceremony too!
"The joke that many Indians have about India is that there are too many gods, and the thing that we heard from Chinese is that there is not enough God in China."
From a visual artist at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts to a foreign policy expert at the University of Minnesota Humphrey School of Public Affairs. Listen to this wide-ranging public discussion with Bill Antholis, managing director of the Brookings Institution, about the four ways that nations have tried to reconcile religion and religious pluralism in the modern era. History, personal experience, politics, and sociology all in one!
Parker Palmer's Wednesday weekly offers a beautiful poem by Willow Harth. She reminds many of us caught "underground" to venture through the darkness and into the light, ending with this great line:
"We are the universe's latest way of blooming."
I'm busy working on a new tablet app for On Being. The process is iterative and constant. It's often a bumpy journey (especially with tight turnaround times), but I was blown away with our design partner's latest rev. Emily Oberman and Elliott Walker and their team at Pentagram are shining brightly. Click on the image for a brief preview of what's to come.

Mehreen Kasana penned a powerful post titled "A Woman of War." I'm still chewing on her insights and wrestling with the complexity of which she speaks. As a father raising two young sons, I'm particularly aware of the incongruities. I'd appreciate hearing what ideas resonate with you.
For those of you that have made it this far, an ear worm to round out the weekend. I've found much comfort in this song while working at my desk late into the evenings this week. It's a hauntingly beautiful mix of My Brightest Diamond's "Dreaming Awake."
And, please, feel free to reach out to me. I so appreciate the feedback and the chance to have an exchange. Reach me at email@example.com and on Twitter at @trentgilliss.

About the Author: María Otero is Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs. Under Secretary Otero oversees U.S. foreign policy on democracy, human rights, population, refugees, health, environment, trafficking in persons, and Tibetan issues. She also co-chairs the State Department's Youth Task Force.Shang. When I first heard this word in my discussions with a group of Kenyan youth leaders from the National Youth Forum (NYF) recently, I wondered to what they could be referring. Could it be a song? The latest technology? A new fad? No, one of the young people explained to me -- Shang is actually a slang language used by Kenyan youth and NYF members which combines English, Swahili and other dialects. It's one way these young people express themselves and bring together a diverse population.
The National Youth Forum is a network of youth organizations and individuals working to mobilize Kenyan youth on issues of good governance, and youth engagement and participation in the social, economic, and political development of their country. Young people from the group traveled fthroughout Kenya to participate in our discussion, and I was impressed as they told me about their work. The ten individuals I met with represented the diversity of NYF and how it brings together youth from different ethnic groups, religions, and regions of the country. During the summer, they organized a series of televised town halls about their country's constitutional referendum, which reached millions and helped contribute to a more inclusive political dialogue. After the referendum, they organized town halls around the country to meet with local young people, discuss their issues, and encourage grassroots participation to support implementation of the new constitution.
But their path has not been easy. One participant pointed out that more aggressive young people have tried to break up their meetings. NYF members try to turn this around and often have success in encouraging these naysayers to join their movement and become part of the solution. Kenya's new constitution is an encouraging step, but the young people I talked to know that it's up to them to help ensure that it is fully implemented. They see this as their moment to create a Kenyan identity for youth. As one participant put it: the youth are ready to serve, not to eat.
So as I think about Shang -- an inclusive language developed to help unify a diverse group of young people -- I am struck by what we can learn from these young leaders as they work to deepen Kenya's democracy and create greater opportunity for all Kenyans. We should all learn a little Shang.

Before you praise SHENG, you may like to know that this is the language of choice used by drug addicts and other young criminals to avoid discovery by parents and law enforcement agencies. It must never be used in polite society.

In an attempt not to let Asustek Computer to become the world's fourth largest notebook vendor worldwide, Hewlett Packard reportedly threatened its manufacturing partners with reduction of orders if they also make systems for Asus. If the information is correct, the scandal may be outrageous.
Asustek Computer reportedly set an aim to become the fourth largest notebook vendor worldwide in 2009, on which HP allegedly sent out a notice to its partners demanding they not accept orders from Asustek, and threatening that if anyone violates the demand, the company will penalize the maker by reducing its own outsourcing volume, DigiTimes web-site reported citing sources among contract manufacturers of mobile computers.
HP is currently the world's No. 1 maker of personal computers. According to Gartner, HP shipped 14.784 million of personal computers in Q3 2008 and commanded 18.4% of the market. Given that Asus does not have large market share globally, it is not a direct rival of HP. In fact, it would be more logical for the PC giant to attack Acer or Lenovo, who are among the top notebook vendors and also compete against HP on the desktop market.
But it will not be easy for HP to undermine businesses of Acer (No. 3) and Lenovo (No. 4), who control 12.5% and 7.3% of the market, respectively. Meanwhile, market share of Asus is less than Toshiba's (No. 5) 4.6% and it would be much easier for HP to weaken Asustek's positions and steal some sales to boost its own revenue.
If the information proves to be correct, this may inspire a legal dispute between HP and Asustek, which may as aggressive as the litigation between Advanced Micro Devices and Intel Corp.
Neither Asustek Computer nor HP commented on the news-story.

Years after the first introduction of prototype concept devices known as mobile Internet devices (MIDs), the tablet fulfilled the promise of this product category. Market research firm In-Stat predicts that in the year 2017 approximately 250 million media tablets, or 0.68 million per day, will be shipped.
"The tablet market and its associated ecosystem are still evolving. Over the next few generations we will see more differentiation between devices that are targeting different market segments and usage models. In addition, competitive device and service pricing will bring tablets into the mainstream consumer and enterprise markets," says Jim McGregor, chief technology strategist at In-Stat.
The tablet market reached an inflection point through the combination of a new device (Apple iPad), new business models supported by wireless operators, and new usage models through cloud computing and mobile applications. As we enter the last half of 2011, In-Stat forecasts more growth opportunities as a result of price degradation, and new tablets from major consumer electronic (CE) companies like Samsung, Motorola, BlackBerry, LG, and HTC. New In-Stat research forecasts that this trend will help push tablet shipments toward 250 million units in 2017.
The 9" to 11" form factor is forecasted to be the dominant tablet form factor with 56% of the market in 2017.
iOS and Android are forecast to maintain over 90% of the market share with Windows as a distant third. Meanwhile, not supporting one of the leading OS platforms is likely to lead to the failure of several companies in the tablet market due to lack of application support.
"Tablets are joining an array of smart-connected devices that allow users almost unlimited access to content and communications. These new devices mark a significant change in the value change of the electronics industry where the content and applications are now the key differentiators and innovation drivers," added Mr. McGregor.
It is necessary to not that in the consumer segment, tablets are competing against all CE and computing devices, not just PCs.
Despite similarities in system hardware and software architecture, usage models among mobile devices vary by device type.
The combination of mobile applications, new semiconductor technology, and the full Internet experience are key factors in empowering the tablet market.

Like New York City, Karachi is one of the world's largest cities with a dynamic and diverse population of approximately 18 million. But, apart from the common concerns of police working in any major city, the police of Karachi must also contend with extreme violence perpetrated by sectarian and organized crime syndicates resulting in hundreds of deaths per year. Outnumbered and under armed, Karachi Police combat kidnappings, face systematic targeted killings, and respond to daily civilian demonstrations that frequently turn violent.
Though Pakistan's problems may seem a world away, the instability and pernicious crimes expereinced in a city like Karachi are felt the world over. At the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), we work to combat these corrosive trends in the interest of local and regional stability. INL works to expand access to justice and maintain law and order by building the capacity of civilian law enforcement agencies to fight crime, meet basic community policing needs, and expand the writ of the state in ungoverned areas.
As part of our work to strengthen rule of law in Pakistan, we recently organized the first Karachi Police officer study tour to the U.S. This visit with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) led to identifying and implementing invaluable policing techniques for Karachi police that will go a long way to help secure the city. We organized a full agenda that included meetings with officers like Jimmy Hall, NYPD Chief of Patrol, to discuss effective patrolling strategies and then arranged "ride alongs" with NYPD patrol officers to see his strategies in practice. We met with Commissioner Kelly in the NYPD's Joint Ops Center (pictured), where delegates learned about the NYPD's use of technology in effective and prompt disturbance response. Over the course of 10 days, the delegates also met with dozens of bureaus and learned about the NYPD's innovative approaches to combating crime and proactively responding to threats.
Only weeks after the trip, Karachi Police now appear poised to implement some of the ideas observed in NYC. For example, to expand police capacity to respond to crime, the police intend to establish an operations center and city surveillance system based on the system utilized by the NYPD. For the first time in its history, the Karachi Police have also expressed interest in improving recruitment, training, and career advancement opportunities for women in the police force. These are only some examples of the immediate deliverables of just one of the many programs we support in Pakistan. In the interest of peace and security, we also partner with civil society and international organizations to reach local communities, train police in CPR and other vital job skills, provide life saving equipment such as bullet proof vests, and support construction of essential infrastructure. At the end of the day, however, we play a supporting role. Our work couldn't continue without a high level of commitment as recently exemplified by the courageous law enforcement professionals I was privileged to meet in New York.

Is this for real? Karachi Police implementing suggestions from NYPD? Please have another look at ground situation. Karachi police is still in the dark ages.
Charlie D. writes:
The gentleman seated second from the left looks like a staunch negotiator and a leader of men. Let's be honest though, can he fix all of Karachi's problems? Yeah, he probably can.
Olga in New York writes:
Great job. The world become a better place already.
Bill in Ohio writes:
It is very encouraging to read about the steps that are being taken to help secure this part of the world. Certainly a more secure Pakistan will lead to a more secure world. Kudos to the team leading the charge on this.
Anwar in Pakistan writes:
I appreciated your efforts taken up for improvement and strengthen the rule of law in Pakistan.As per above mentioned information a delegation of police officers of Karachi police department was invited by NYPD and delegation not only visited NY but also practically participated in some activities carried out by NYPD.
As an observer I know that there are many issues facing by the citizen of Karachi as well as police officials of Karachi.
Would you like to tell me the criteria used for selection of those police officers who visited NYPD. I am one hundred percent sure that delegation was made on personal liking and disliking instead of merit.Because there is no change or improvement in their performance. Many innocent persons are being killed daily in Karachi . It is a fact that Karachi police can not protect themselves more than hundred police officials and officers have been killed by unknown group(although people know very well ).
There is a dire need justice, non politicization, Training and sincerity in Karachi police. We hope that in this regard you will take appropriate action on right direction.Thanks

5th Public Hearing - Modern Pentathlon
The USOC hosted a public hearing on the status of USA Pentathlon on Friday, August 28, 2009. Eric Parthen, USOC Governance, provided a welcome to all in attendance at the hearing (both in person and on conference call).
Eric Parthen introduced me as the CEO of USA Pentathlon and I provided the following overview.
A special "thank you" to the Board of Directors and all volunteers who have given of their time and resources to take the organization to where it is today.
Thank you to the athletes for their efforts on the field of play. I was impressed with their performances at the World Championships in London. I look forward to seeing them continue to improve and develop.
We are in a time of transition - in provisional status but still operating as the NGB.
The Board of Directors is going through a transition with 3 board members resigning effective September 1, 2009. They are also transitioning from a managing board to a governing board, focusing on policy and long-term strategic vision.
As far as staff, I am the CEO. We have an intern from the University of Colorado beginning on Monday. I am interviewing individuals for part-time administrative support. We are part of the USOC shared services program. Bill Kellick, media relations for USA TaeKwonDo is providing media services for pentathlon.
Our website is under revision. We should have directories for clubs (fencing, swimming, riding) posted soon. We are working on a yearlong calendar with competition and training schedules. A frequency asked question section will be built with the common questions which have been asked. Selection criteria are being revised this fall and will be posted. We will continue to have blogs from myself and athletes on the main page.
Where we are to date? The focus is on 4 primary missions: Membership, Development, Fundraising and Coaching.
Membership: A company called RailStation will host online membership and event management to include rankings. I am working on completing the basic template for information to be gathered.
Development: A few weeks ago, I met with Tom Adams, the President of US Pony Club. We will support each other and work through Tetrathlon committee to recruit athletes to Pentathlon. I am working to re-establish programs at the military academies, USMA and USAFA as well as working with Army and Air Force World Class Athlete Programs (WCAP). Additionally, I am working to establish Centers of Excellence around the country that will give athletes a chance to develop regionally without substantial travel.
Fundraising: Working with the USOC Development Officer, we developed a model for fundraising. I am currently working to establish fundraising committee
Coaching: Now that the competitive season has ended, we are evaluating all coaching to date. I am working to establish network of coaches in conjunction with the Centers of Excellence. We are looking to bring in specialty coaches for clinics, camps, etc. and the development of individualized athlete training plans.
I know that there have been many issues regarding USA Pentathlon to date. I want to assure you that all issues will be reviewed and addressed. The elected athlete representative will be involved in all procedures. Beginning on Wednesday, September 2nd, we will begin having a community forum conference call to discuss any issues as a community. As far as any grievance, the organizational bylaws clearly outline the process to be followed. Finally going forward, all communication should be directed to CEO.
Thank you.
