Innocent but guilty in public opinion
It seems as if no one wants to defend George Zimmerman. I would like to have an opportunity to voice my opinion.
After reading Paul Christopher's last column (Aug. 12) beating up on Zimmerman, I have to respond. At one time, in my long life, I could have been identified as a member of the liberal thinkers. Those from that era are now called octogenarians. Any resemblance of liberalism with many from that time has long been replaced through experiences that have dismayed many of us. Yes, I have personally witnessed the cruelty of discrimination. It did not happen in the south but in a bar outside of Fort Dix, N.J. A black soldier, who sat near me at the bar with his uniform on, was refused to be served a drink. I quickly confronted the bartender and was met by an excuse he had orders to not serve Negros! This soldier was headed for Korea just like the rest of us at the bar. My buddies and I left after we voiced our consternations.
Fast forward to the present. Since then they did away with the poll tax, they integrated the schools plus many other things to even the playing field, especially with Affirmative Action that bypassed the qualified and replaced them with less qualified minorities. Many of the qualified rose above this leveling playing field. Affirmative Action has not entirely been accepted by those who strive for excellence in education and employment.
To foster protection from anti-Affirmative Action or anyone who questions preferential treatment of black people liberals have put into place "Political Correctness." I remember what it was like way back then and, in my mind, changes have been made but it does not look any better now as far as unity among races is concerned.
In a another column from July 29, Christopher goes back and forth about the right for people to protect themselves from the bad guys. Then he finds different ways to characterize Trayvon Martin as the victim and Zimmerman as the perpetrator. His assumptions were purely hypothetical. He continued with his diatribe in his recent article, condemning Zimmerman and everyone who believes not only in law and order but the right of self protection. He failed to mention that there has been documented evidence there were recent crimes committed in the neighborhood of the killing by black men.
A good rebuttal to his column was Bill O'Reilly's article, "The big picture," located just below the political cartoon in the same issue. O'Reilly points out black men between ages 14 and 24 commit homicides at a rate of 10 times that of young white and Hispanic males combined!
I have read and enjoyed Christopher's columns but beating up on Zimmerman, like a bully, every chance he gets is disgusting. Also disgusting were remarks made by our president and the attorney general and other liberals who were eager to get on the bandwagon to hang Zimmerman. These groups were all driven to hang him before the ink dried on the newspapers where these appeasing commentaries jumped to conclusions. How can they expect to eliminate racial strife when they are always looking for excuses to justify the criminal behavior?
I would, in closing, like to add: Protecting peoples right to protect themselves is more important than "political correctness."

Clayton Attic Insulation
Clayton homeowners are wasting money each year by paying for heat that escapes quickly due to inadequate attic insulation. To save on energy bills, the best place to start is with your attic. Attics are a significant source of heat loss in under-insulated Clayton homes.
The first step is to look at the existing insulation in your attic. If the wood beams (or joists) of your attic floor are still visible, you probably don't have enough of insulation. Use a tape measure or yardstick to check the depth of it on your attic floor. The Department of Energy recommends a minimum depth of 15.5 inches of fiberglass batts or about 18 inches of blown insulation for optimum energy-efficiency.

Clayton Roof Repairs
Walking into your home you look and wonder why your roof has coffee spills? Are you suffering from the stained roof syndrome? It's that dark staining that looks like someone spilled coffee up on your roof. This problem used to be associated with mildew in years past. Mildew is a by-product of fungi and mold. However, it has been determined that another microorganism has invaded roofs in the USA, particularly asphalt shingle roofs. This organism is an algae, Gloeocapsa magma. "Roof Algae" has experienced an explosive growth curve during the past 15 to 20 years quite by accident.
Why now? Why my Roof!!
A large number of homeowners who are experiencing these roof stain problems are doing so for the first time. Even though they live in areas where the climate has not changed, the problem appears out of the blue.
In years past, the roof algae simply didn't have a food source. Until shingle manufacturers lowered production costs, and provided roof algae with its favorite food, limestone. Today's fiberglass shingles contain massive amounts of food that the roof algae love to eat.
How in the world does limestone get into fiberglass shingles you might ask? It's simple. The limestone is added to the asphalt mixture as a filler or thickener. Years ago, this was not necessary, as an organic felt mat was used as the base for the shingles. This mat was saturated with asphalt and then coated with granules. Because of the absorptive qualities of the mat, it was able to soak up enough asphalt to give the finished shingle sufficient weight. The materials used for the mat were derived from the cotton rag scrap market.

Communication Seniors Celebrate Success
With American University commencement just days away, School of Communication faculty, staff and alumni came together to celebrate SOC's graduating class of 2014. Dean Jeffrey Rutenbeck noted some of the many accomplishments of this group, and his pride in the first class to graduate from SOC's new home in the McKinley building. View photo gallery
In an address to the seniors, Clarence Fluker (SOC/MA '02), signature programs co-chair of the American University Black Alumni Alliance, added these words of advice, "In addition to a world-class education, what you make here are world-class connections, relationships and friendships that will last you through the years as alumni. All of those things are great springboards for what is to come your lives." Fluker is Communications & Special Initiatives Director for the Executive Office of the Mayor, District of Columbia Government.
Several faculty members including professors W. Joseph Campbell, Jane Hall, Pallavi Kumar, Chris Palmer, and Scott Talan mirrored Fluker's remarks and shared their own tips for success post graduation and the importance of staying connected with the AU family. A cappella group On a Sensual Note performed and received enthusiastic applause.
Seniors Share Their SOC Sentiments
Nicole Cusik, Journalism
"Through my involvement with the SOC Ambassadors I've been able to show my spirit and pride in SOC, particularly to prospective students. It's something I'm proud of and an experience I'll certainly remember post-graduation."
Sarah Floyd, Public Communication
"I've made some of my best friends through SOC—and have grown as a person in my time here."
Berenice Medina, Public Communication
"One of my favorite memories from SOC was when I got the opportunity to see President Obama speak at the AU Greenberg Theater. It gave me new insight to see him in a position where he was open with students and the challenges he faces."
Sarah Weber, Journalism
"I joined the SOC Ambassadors as a freshman, and it's been one of my greatest SOC experiences."
Award-winning journalist and TV personality, Katie Couric, will speak at the 2014 School of Communication commencement ceremony Saturday, May 10, at American University. Ceremonies begin at 9:00 a.m. in AU's Bender Arena. Learn more

So my friend returned from India a little while back and picked me up some tea as a favor.
He came back with a Darjeeling, but also with this, that I am rather curious about.
It's labeled "Moonar Tea" and is in a sealed transparent plastic sleeve. I haven't opened it yet, but I can tell that it has a "grainy" texture to it - they aren't full leaves by any means.
My friend tells me he bought it directly off a farm - but that's about all the info he as on it.
Anyone have any details on what this is?
Apologies for the terrible picture quality - all I have with me is my cameraphone.

Fourth of July Pics!
So I realized this is a little late, but I thought, better late than never! As you know, I went back home to Orlando for a long 4th of July weekend. My parents still live there and the BF and I have been meaning to take a little vacay...Orlando was perfect! Free lodging, free food, quality time...can't go wrong with that.
Here's a few pics from the weekend.
The ride going there was pretty smooth. It's about 7 hours and it went by really fast. My boyfriend and I spent the whole time chatting about our childhoods so I guess the time flew by. Florida is random with rainshowers...you can drive 1 mile and be in and out of rain patches. It's crazy! Here's a rainbow we saw on the way there :)
First off, I rocked cornrows for most of the weekend! I loved it! My good friend Cindy is taking classes in hair and needed to practice on my "soft hair" lol...she's using to braiding african-american hair so she told me that my hair was more challenging. I can understand that, cuz my hair can be slippery getting in those braids. Now you see how my hair was so crimpy in the pussy cat dolls video. By the way, on my eyes I'm wearing all four colors of the pandamonium quad. And like Emilee said, "I'm not naked, I'm wearing a tube top!"
Did you know that Orlando has the biggest McDonalds in the world? My BF and I saw it on the food channel one day so we made a conscious effort to stop by there and take pics! They have gourmet food on the menu, a full arcade, two stories, gotta love it!
Me and my baby...
Me and my girl Cindy on the bikes!
My home in Orlando is only about 30 minutes from Daytona beach. I never really used to go there growing up because it seemed too touristy. However, since my BF is technically a tourist, it was okay!
Gotta wear my big hat for sun protection! I never would have done that if I hadn't started reading these beauty blogs, lol
The sky is so blue!
Check out the cool bikes and buggies you could rent...too bad we're too cheap for that!
Lastly, me, mom, dad, and their crazy dog badger. He looks harmless but he hates everybody except my mom, dad, and my brother.

Associate chaplain at Ohio Wesleyan to meet with Biden on gun violence
The Columbus Dispatch - January 23, 2013 05:31 PM
An associate chaplain from Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware plans to attend a meeting with Vice President Joe Biden next week to discuss the faith community's response to gun violence.
A university spokesman says Lisa Ho was invited through her work with the Ohio Prophetic Voices advocacy group.
Expected to attend the Washington meeting on Monday and Tuesday will be the vice president, senior presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California and clergy from around the nation.
It will address the role of faith in helping America heal from gun violence, provide training in gun violence prevention and media response and offer a meeting with White House and legislative leaders.
As an Ohio Wesleyan assistant chaplain, Ho offers support to students, works with other ministry groups, leads Bible studies and works to build relationships among local churches, community partners and others.
As part of Ohio Prophetic Voices, Ho has helped organize an upcoming event that seeks to address social justice issues in Columbus and statewide. She also has been involved in the Washington, D.C.-based Sojourners social justice group.

Gnotobiotic Animal Research Facility
The Medical University of South Carolina Gnotobiotic Animal Research Facility is a unique research animal facility that will enable investigators to conduct research with germfree or gnotobiotic animals.
Current research with germ free and gnotobiotic animals is demonstrating that the host's microbial flora has dramatic effects on Morphology, Physiology, Nutrition, Biochemistry, Endocrinology and Immunology. There is increasing evidence that intestinal microorganisms are involved in autoimmune diseases, inflammatory bowel diseases, and tumors of the alimentary tract and bladder. The microbial flora can also have dramatic effects on the pharmacology of orally administered drugs. Germfree animals continue to play a key role in basic research on the etiology, prophylaxis and therapy of caries and periodontal disease.
Recent advances in the genetic manipulation of microorganisms and animal models, via gene knockout or transgenic techniques, provide unique opportunities to study the multifaceted and complex interactions and cross-talk that takes place between a host and the microbial flora. Gnotobiotic technology will not only continue to play a key role in sustaining the health of these valuable immunodeficient, genetically engineered animal models but it will also continue to play an important role in the use of genetically engineered animals for basic research on many diseases that affect humans world wide.
The importance of understanding how the microbial flora can affect the health and well being of a host was recognized over 100 years ago. We still have a great deal to learn about host-microflora interactions. Gnotobiotic research will continue to play a key role in clarifying our basic understanding of host microflora interactions that affect so many facets of our health and well being.
The facility is part of the Center for Oral Health Research (COHR) and is now fully operational. For complete Facility information please visit http://www.musc.edu/gnotobiotic/:

Despite nearly two years of ongoing conflict in Syria, grain is being ground into flour, tested for moisture and protein content, and baked into sample loaves of bread. Flour that meets approval is bagged and loaded onto trucks bound for a distribution warehouse in Aleppo Governorate.
At the warehouse, each bag is accounted for as it is offloaded by workers. A community member, who helps oversee the warehouse, looks on, notepad in hand. He talks about how the flour can help ease the financial burden of the displaced Syrians who crowd almost all available living space in the neighborhood.
He notes that even subsidized flour costs more than most families can afford even in the best of times. The flour being offloaded today is donated by USAID and will allow bakeries -- identified in coordination with the Syrian Opposition Coalition's Assistance Coordination Unit -- to sell bread at reduced cost, while still making enough profit to pay workers and purchase additional supplies in local markets.
The warehouse manager also speaks of the overall economic benefit of the donated flour to businesses in the area. "It's not our objective to just give relief," he says, "We want to help the people work and make their own money."
The unloading of the flour concludes in the late afternoon. The delivery truck buttons up and heads away, while the workers hurry off to receive their day's wages. The gate to the distribution warehouse closes, but it will open again soon enough.
Another truck filled with USAID-donated flour will arrive, and the whole process will be played out again. USAID is providing enough flour to 50 bakeries in Aleppo Governorate to bake daily bread for approximately 210,000 people for the next five months.
The United States is providing nearly $385 million in humanitarian aid to help those affected by the crisis in Syria.

@ Rebecca,
Thanks for the post, it'll take a Marshall Plan to put Syria back together again after Assad falls. This program is but one small step in that direction, but an important one.
If you would please pass this suggestion onward and upward, I think it would be good if the Dept of State and USAID were to put out a call for public donations like you'all did during the tsunami in Japan and Sumatra in years past. This is an un-natural disaster, but the need is just as great.

Help enemies of independent States go to war, and when they die, thousands of peaceful citizens in the country all is destroyed help.
And all for the achievement of their interests. So it was in Yugoslavia, in Iraq, and Libya.

One important fact that you should know about any database management system is how to quote reserved keywords when you want to use them as column names or even table names.
If you want to know which are the Reserved Keywords, they are all listed in our manual page: Reserved Keywords
In CUBRID, you can use Reserved Keywords as table names or column names using one of the following 3 approaches:
Let's assume you want to use a column name entitled VALUE. Acceptable table definitions are:
CREATE TABLE tst1 ([value] INT); CREATE TABLE tst2 (`value` INT); CREATE TABLE tst3 ("value" INT);
If you put value without using one of the escaping methods, then you will encounter the error "Syntax: syntax error, unexpected VALUE":

In short: The ever enthusiastic marshals really make this raceIn full: Unfortunately this year it was cold AND wet but you can't really blame Eynsham RR for that and they did make up for it with a lovely selection of cakes at the end! The course is narrow in places which makes it hard to overtake but that's not so much of a problem for me at the slow end of the field.Date of review: December 1, 2008
In short: Brrrr.....In full: Thank you Eynsham Runners and Marshalls spot on, with the added bonus of tea and cakes. Well organised, I even heard the start gun which is a first being at the back. Date of review: December 1, 2008
In short: Full marks to Eynsham RR !In full: A good race under pretty miserable conditions. Took a lap to "warm up" although I remained envious of the guy who wore his long sleeved thermal vest on top of his running gear. Great warm atmosphere for the apres run in the hall, and woolly hats off to all the marshals & supporters who braved the icy wind & rain to make this such a worthwhile run for us. T-shirt doubly welcome as an immediate extra layer at the finish. Date of review: December 1, 2008

In short: Fun friendly cold & wetIn full: As usual the Eynsham road runners organised a superb race (couldn't control the weather but nevermind)-the marshalling always great and the course always challenging and harder than it seems.

(LONDON, ENGLAND) – American bantamweight Joseph Diaz, Jr. (S. El Monte, Calif.) claimed the first win of the Olympic Games on Saturday afternoon with a convincing 19-9 win over Pavlo Ischenko of Ukraine in first round action. The pair faced off in the first bout of the entire tournament with Diaz enjoying the distinction of the throwing the first punch of the 2012 Olympic Games. Diaz set the perfect tone for his American teammates, winning a 19-9 decision over his Ukrainian opponent in the U.S. opener.
Diaz took the ring first, decked out in his red USA uniform and American flag bandana in front of a packed house at the ExCel Centre. Both boxers looked for momentum early in the contest with Diaz staying busy early in the bout. He began to find his rhythm late in the round, landing several straight left hands to close the round, and held a 4-3 lead after the first.
Diaz continued his strong and effective boxing in the second stanza, staying aggressive and landing strong, accurate shots to outscore Ischenko by a 5-3 margin in the middle round. The 19-year-old held a 9-6 lead with one round remaining, but he refused to sit on his advantage in the final stanza. Diaz pounded Ischenko in the third, landing a wide array of upper cuts and straight left hands that stung his opponent. "I felt like he got a little tired (in the third round) and I felt like I was just getting started," Diaz said. "The first round I ended up winning but I wasn't really throwing as much. In the second round, I picked it up and in the third round, and I picked it up even more and that gave me the W."
He kept the pressure on until the final bell rang and was named the victory by a 19-9 final margin. Diaz's efforts earned him the first victory of the 2012 Olympic Games and got his American team off to a great start.
"It felt great just being in there. The environment is amazing. I just knew that I had to do what I needed to do and I prayed to God," Diaz said. "I just realized that this guy is human just like me. He sweats and bleeds, he's nervous just like me so I've got to do what I do and that's what I did."
Diaz now moves onto second round action and a rematch with Cuban world champion XXX on Wednesday, August 1. He dropped his quarterfinal contest at the 2011 World Championships to XXX, but believes that their Olympic match-up could feature a different outcome. "I lost by a few points the first time we fought and I feel like I could have done a little more and that's what I'm going to do Wednesday. On Wednesday, I'm going to give everyone a good show," Diaz said.
The 19-year-old California native enjoyed great support from both his teammates and five family members in the crowd, which included his parents and two sisters. His father and trainer, Joseph Diaz, Sr., could be heard yelling words of support throughout the three round contest and his son gave his father what he wanted on day one, a strong victory. "It really means a lot to have my family here. They're out there in the crowd cheering me on and I feel that momentum, Diaz said. "I feel that extra boost that it's giving me so I can give them that extra strength and that extra conditioning. My family means everything and I hope I can bring back a medal for them and help them out financially even more."
Diaz faced a stressful arrival to the ExCel Centre after the bus got lost en route to the venue and arrived much later than originally planned, but he refused to allow that to impact his focus, putting on a great performance in his Olympic debut.
Middleweight Terrell Gausha (Cleveland, Ohio) will take the ring in tonight's evening action, battling Armenia's Andranik Hakobyan at approximately 10:15 p.m. London time (5:15 ET).
U.S. Result
123 lbs: Joseph Diaz, Jr., S. El Monte, Calif./USA dec. Pavlo Ischenko, UKR, 19-9
Diaz quotes
"I have a really tough draw and I knew that the Ukrainian was a really good fighter and the Cuban is the number one seed but I fought him already and I have a different game plan so we'll see what happens on Wednesday."
"My game plan was just to maintain my composure and stay in on him. I knew that he had a very good hook. I watched his fights on you tube and I know that he was going to be really strong and his punches felt really hard but I know that I'm in really great shape. I had a great training camp and have a great strength and conditioning coach and I came and did what I did and I pulled it off."
"I think I lost by like seven points (to the Cuban) but I know that this time around, I'm going to give him a good fight and hopefully pick up that W."
"I believe it was just my speed. He probably thought I was a little slower than usual but I was kind of fast and I was just picking my left hand because I know he was just looking for my body shots. I was just picking my straight left hand and it was landing every time and I just thank God for this blessing."

As part of my New Year's resolutions, I decided I wanted to read one book a month outside of my required readings for graduate school. Since my parents bought me Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson for Christmas, that seemed like a natural book to kick off 2012 with.
The first thing you'll probably notice about the book is holy shit, that's a long freaking book. And it is. It took me almost exactly a month to get through it, and I'm typically a very fast reader. Due to the time investment, I would only recommend this book to people who are staunch Apple users and who are really fascinated about learning about the Apple products that they own and love.
The book is divided up by product and takes a deep look at how each one was conceptualized. To make things more interesting, they also intertwine the product development cycles with tidbits of Jobs' oftentimes tumultuous personal and professional life. After reading this book, I've realized that Apple really could have failed years ago and the products I depend on everyday might not have ever come to existence. It's such a strange thought.
Highlights of the book for me included:
- Learning about what Jobs was like as a youth and what life events helped build his philosophies on life, products and business
- Learning about Jobs' strange habits such as going on ridiculously strict diets and being so picky about design that his home went unfurnished for months
- Getting an inside look at what it would have been like to work for Jobs, who was a really big prick to the people who didn't perform in the way he thought they should
- Seeing just how many connections Jobs had… which shouldn't have surprised me, but I didn't realize Al Gore was on the board of Apple
- Hearing from Bill Gates about what it was like to compete with Apple and learning more about their complicated relationship
All in all, I'm glad this was the book I chose for my first month. It was truly fascinating and I felt like it was pretty fair and balanced.

A high-ranking executive from Nokia Corp. has promised to release a tablet running Microsoft Corp.'s Windows 8 operating system already in the middle of next year. While a Windows 8-based tablet has been expected from Nokia for some time now, the launch timeframe seems to be uncertain as the next-gen operating system is reportedly due in August, 2012.
"In June, 2012, we will have a tablet running Windows 8 [operating system]," said Paul Amsellem, the head of Nokia France, at a Nokia Lumia launch event, reports Lesechos web-site.
Although Nokia's Windows 8 tablet plans have always been a secret de Polichinelle, this is the first time when Nokia officially confirms plans to release such a device and even mentions a launch timeframe.
Microsoft Windows 8 will support both high-performance x86 and low-power ARM microprocessor architectures, which means that it will be able to provide the nearly full Windows experience on ultra-portable devices and even run certain Windows applications. Microsoft specifically does not allow to use Windows Phone operating system on tablets claiming that the latter should have the same feature set as desktops or notebooks. In general, if Nokia wants to keep its strategy aligned with Microsoft, it should use Windows 8 for its tablets.
Based on unofficial information, Microsoft plans to release its Windows 8 operating system in August, 2012. It is unclear whether Nokia mentioned production schedule for its tablet, or Microsoft has rescheduled the launch of its OS or there is a misunderstanding between the two companies.

The project is investigating the biology of mosquitoes responsible for malaria transmission in Tajikistan. It is being conducted in collaboration with Tajik scientists of the Institute of Zoology and Parasitology.
The incidence of malaria in Tajikistan has increased more than 100-fold since 1991. Previously successful mosquito control measures are now failing, which suggests that changes in demography, agricultural practices and human activities has affected mosquito abundance.
The results aim to provide a foundation for evaluating the use of larva-eating fish and natural plant extracts as approaches to malaria control.

Originally built as a movie house in 1924, the ornate Warner Theatre has ebbed in and out of fashion. After a period of neglect, the Kaempfer Company recently spent $10 million to restore the 1,847-seat theater, once owned by Warner Bros., to its 1920s glory. Now, when you push open one of the heavy glass doors, you enter the atmosphere of the golden age of entertainment.
At the far end of the lobby, a grand staircase leads to the balcony tier. The ceiling over the orchestra seems three-stories high. Private boxes line each wall. A sparkling chandelier worth a quarter of a million dollars hangs in the center of a large gilded circle; stained-glass lamps glow from other spots around the theater. Plush Portuguese draperies hang on the walls, partly obscuring raised gold-painted patterns. Rows of velvet seats embroidered with red and gold brocade sit upon a carpet of matching colors. It's hard to believe most of the renovation money went toward technical improvements such as a new electrical and rigging system and unblocking a stage left exit route for performers.
In this classy environment, you would expect only the fine arts to dominate the stage. Not so. Warner's management group rents out the space, creating eclectic fare. Although the Washington Ballet's "Nutcracker" appears almost annually, you're more likely to find Rob Becker's comedy about male insensitivity, "Defending the Caveman," playing for extended runs, or yet another engagement of the musical "Cabaret" or "Smoky Joe's Cafe." Harking back to the good old days, movies have their premiere here once in a while, as well as "product roll-outs" for corporations. Unlike most other performance spaces, drinks are permitted anywhere in the theater, except when an artist (such as Mikhail Baryshnikov) deems it too distracting. Opposite the gorgeous wood bar in the lobby is a concession stand for candy (but alas, no popcorn).
The Metro Center stop is just paces away from the front door, and parking is available next door for $7 (rates may vary) at the PMI garage on 12th Street, between E and F streets.

I have coached youth sports for about 10 years now. I have always said that players win and coaches lose, and always put the blame on myself after a loss. I do it, because an old ball coach I had always made me feel better after lose, when he said it. After a tough loss tonight, where I really coached my ass off, but we just made to many mistakes, it was hard to take the blame, but I did, as I always have. Very tough loss, one of the toughest ever tonight.
Just like to have a place to share mental tactics and such to coaching youth baseball and advice. If the thread dies, thats cool, but if we can help each other by stealing of each other, maybe we get better and help feed the system with better players.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Aug. 12, 2006)
- The U.S. Men's National Team let a two-set lead slip away and fell to Poland 3-2 (25-17, 25-21, 19-25, 23-25, 15-17) in their 2006 FIVB World League match on Saturday in Katowice, Poland, before an estimated crowd of 10,890 at Spodek Hall.
With the loss, the U.S. Men fall to 5-4 in their pool. Serbia & Montenegro, which defeated Japan in three sets on Saturday, leads Pool A at 6-3 and Poland is second. Japan sits at 1-8.
The two teams will play again and for the final time in pool play on Sunday at 9:30 a.m. PDT (12:30 p.m. EDT). The match will not be televised in the United States, but live scoring updates will be available at
After winning the first two sets, the United States seemed to be in complete control. In the third set, Poland turned to 6-foot-4 opposite Mariusz Wlazly, who scored 18 points in the set and finished the match with 27 points on 22 kills, three blocks and two aces.
"In the first two (sets), the Americans were much better in attack," said Poland Head Coach Raul Lozano. "They didn't allow us to play on our usual level. After the break after two (sets), we managed to organize our play as we wished and play our best. When we played better, the Americans played worse."
In the fifth and deciding set, the U.S. Men took a 14-13 lead when Wlazly made a game-tying kill, but then had to leave the game due to muscle cramps. Poland used this to motivate its team to a 17-15 victory.
"It was a good match. The arena was full. The spectators were great," U.S. Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon said. "We are really disappointed that we didn't win the match. Hopefully this will change tomorrow."
Jim Polster (Laguna Niguel, Calif.) led Team USA with 15 points on 12 kills, two blocks and one ace. Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) added 14 points on 12 kills, one block and one ace. Dave McKienzie (Littleton, Colo.) and Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawaii) each scored 11 points and Tom Hoff (Park Ridge, Ill.) added 10. McKienzie started the first three sets at opposite for the United States before making way for Stanley in the final two.
Sebastian Swiderski scored 19 points for Poland on 16 kills, two blocks and one ace. Dawid Murek added 14, all on kills, and Pawel Zagumny scored 10.
"Wlazly is suffering from great cramps," Lozano said. "His muscles are too tired because of the temperature on the hall and because of his exhaustion."

Button, Button, Whose Got the Button? ( & Bridal Veils, too!)
1700 Carson Street is the home of a great button store. It fascinates me- Parker Button. Boxes and boxes stacked from floor to ceiling. All colors, shapes and sizes. Like an artist's palette. Shank or flat. Frogs and belt buckles. Ribbon and trim. Spools of thread to sew them all on for utility or ornamentation. My mother had a glass jar full of buttons. My sister made me the coolest necklace from vintage mother-of-pearl shirt buttons, strung onto embroidery floss. Do you have any clothing missing a button?
The other half of the shop is Clarissa's Boutique . One word to describe the bridal veils, jewelry and accessories for custom headpieces and wedding necessities- exquisite? lovely? classic? ethereal? They will create a custom headpiece for you but allow three months. Feathers, flowers, jewels, or pearls. Voted the Best of the Knot for weddings 2011.
These Days Buttons are Often a Part of Web Design
Or people push our buttons.
Press the button to call the elevator
or select your floor.
Today's post is the old fashioned kind.
Two-hole, four-hole or shank.
Metal, plastic, shell or bone.
Beatrix Potter shapes of rabbits.
When was the last time you sewed on a button?
Today marks 500 blog posts and counting!
Growing up we had a record with the song ( these lyrics are from 1929)
Button up your overcoat, When the wind is free, Oh, take good care of yourself, You belong to me! Eat an apple every day, Get to bed by three, Oh, take good care of yourself, You belong to me! Be careful crossing streets, ooh-ooh, Cut out sweets, ooh-ooh, Lay off meat, ooh-ooh, You'll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum!

Q. David Bowers: The following narrative, with minor editing, is from my "Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia" (Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers and Merena Galleries, Inc., 1993). Note: the Notable Specimens list should be used with caution - it has been updated in my 2013 edition of "The Encyclopedia of United States Silver Dollars 1794-1804."
Obv: Portrait II (Head of '95)
Rev: Eagle I, Wreath I (2 leaves)
Exists with silver plug at center.
OBVERSE 6: Flowing hair in five prominent curls, with a thin faint additional curl below the third curl from the top. Innermost point of star 1 just touches lowest curl. The curl continues upward to half close the loop. Head high and closer to LIBERTY than on most other obverses. The date is wide, with more space between 1 and 7 than other figures. The 7 in the date was repunched over an erroneous 1, prompting some to catalogue the variety as 1795 over 1195. The erroneous 1 is especially visible on early die states .. This die bears a very close resemblance to the die used to coin BB 15; especially with regard to the high position of the head and the relationship of the hair curl the first 'star.
As is the case with the obverse used to coin BB-27, the present obverse (also used to coin BB-22 and BB-23) had the head of Miss Liberty deeply impressed into the die, causing it to be in slightly higher relief than most other varieties of the year; because of this, the hair details wore away quickly as the coins circulated.
Obverse die used to strike 1795 BB-21, BB-22, and BB-23.
REVERSE G: See description under BB-20. Two leaves under each wing.
Reverse die used to strike 1795 BB-20, BB-21, and BB-24.
Die State I: Perfect dies.
COLLECTING NOTES: 1795 BB-21 is a very common variety. Indeed, it is second only to BB-27 in terms of its widespread availability. I have handled well over 100 since 1953, and this is without any special effort to acquire the variety. I estimate that about 1,500 to 2,500 exist. Most of these have been bought and sold privately. However, as nearly every specialized collection has had one, many have crossed the auction block over the years.
This variety can be found well struck, with sharp centers to the stars on higher-grade examples.
1795 BB-21 is especially plentiful in lower grades, with the average being in the range of VF-20 to 35. EF specimens, while elusive, are not rare. AU specimens occasionally are seen, and a dozen or more true Mint State coins exist in private hands.
Auction '84 Specimen. MS-64 Auction '84 (Stack's, 1984): Lot 1180, "Gem Brilliant Uncirculated, perfectly struck but planchet adjustment marks, stars needle-sharp with full radial lines, veins on leaves apparent, considerable prooflike surface on both sides, obverse rich russet with faint iridescence, reverse pale russet."
Smith Specimen. MS-64: Harlan P. Smith Sale (Chapman' brothers, 1906) Louis Eliasberg Collection. (Coin grade not verified.)
Boyd Specimen. MS-63. World's Greatest Collection, F.C.C. Boyd (Numismatic Gallery, 1945): Lot 2, Uncirculated.
Delp Specimen. MS-60. Winner F. Delp Collection, Stack's, November 17,1972, Lot 84 55th Anniversary Sale (Stack's, 1990): Lot 1658. "Brilliant Uncirculated, fully prooflike. A needle-sharp impression, with bold denticles. Sharp hair and full radial' lines to the stars, the eagle's breast weak (more than likely to fill the bold relief of the head). A handsome coin with amber toning, starting to turn russet."
Chapman Specimen. MS-60 Lot 9 in an early, unidentified S.H. Chapman sale 'The Dr. Jack Adams Collection 1992-05 (Superior, 1992): Lot 2101. "MS-60. Flowing Hair. Original surfaces and delightful aura of toning. Wispy gray toning, Faint laminations extending horizontally across the planchet."
Newman Specimen. AU-55 Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society two lumps on the neck, below the ear. A short die scratch is noted on the reverse, from bottom of 0 to a point just below base of F. The presence (or lack of) these characteristics on other varieties sharing these dies may help to establish the specific emission sequence.
Bareford Specimen. AU-58 Harold Bareford Collection, (Stack's, 1981): Lot 403, "Uncirculated except for slightest rubbing on hair and eagle, some prooflike surface, sharply struck with deep iridescent toning." Steve Ivy's 1982 ANA Sale ANA Convention Sale (Heritage, 1988): Lot 939)'AU- 58/58, deeply lustrous, semi-prooflike with only slightest rubbing on high points, sharply defined surfaces display rich aqua and golden-gray iridescence."
DeCoppet Specimen. AU-50 Andre DeCoppet Collection (James F. Kelly, 1955). "Practically Uncirculated."
Hollinbeck-Kagin Specimen(s).AU-50 Hollinbeck -Kagin, June, 1970: Lot 595, "near-Uncirculated, light blue patina." Hollinbeck-Kagin, September, 1972: Lot 1226, "nearly Uncirculated, only slight friction on highest points, tiny depression on reverse as made during minting process, lovely bluish golden prooflike patina." Tercentenary Sale, Part II (Kagin's, 1974): Lot 1142, "virtually-Uncirculated, only slightest friction on highest points." These three may or may not be the same specimen.
Herdman Specimen. AU-50 Herdman Collection (Bowers and Ruddy, 1977): Lot 5808. "About Uncirculated. Sharply struck on both surfaces, except for very center of eagle's breast."
Stirling Specimen. AU-50 Frank M. Stirling Collection, Heritage, February 1986:1324. "Pale gray toning."
Ron Guth:
Bruce Morelan, in an interview with PCGS in 2016, spoke about his PCGS MS64+ example: "I saw this coin at one of the ANA shows in the mid-2000s. Chris Napolitano showed it to Laura [Sperber] and I in a higher graded holder at the time. It just displayed such beautiful luster, full cartwheel, original golden toning. Everything about the coin I absolutely loved. And once I started building this set, it was the coin that kept popping into my mind as the representative that I wanted of this date, in my set. And I was looking for it, trying to find it, for sale in its previous holder, and eventually it walked up to Legend's table in the new holder, the 64+ holder, and I couldn't buy it fast enough."

Talking Bug Net

About Me Grandparent
Comments about Educational Insights GeoSafari® Jr. Talking Bug Net™:
I love the Talking Bug Net and so does my grandson, however we just opened it and it doesn't detect the grasshopper and praying mantis so it will just keep asking the same question like we missed it until it switches to another question. When we put those two bugs into the net for fun facts it keeps telling us to add another bug. It isn't stopping him from playing with it, but very disappointing to me.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Oh no Jen, our Talking Bug Net should meet your expectations, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com so we can get you a net that recognizes the grasshopper and praying mantis.

Talking big net
By Wisekids

I thought it was the greatest thing but it lasted only 10 minutes, then just began to buzz. I tried new batteries but same thing. I would love this game for my grandchildren but it was not satisfactory.I am looking online for more products from this company but am worried the same thing will happen.
Merchant response: Hello, we apologize for your experience. Please contact me at email@example.com so I can connect you with a customer service representative who can assist you. Thanks,Nicole DawleyEducational Insights

About Me Stay At Home Parent
The GeoSafari Jr. Talking Bug Net is perfect for any curious child who is interested in bugs. There are two ways to play, first you can drop bugs in to hear one of the 100 bug facts about them or you can get quizzed. My 3 year old loves to drop the bugs in and hear the facts, many of which he is actually retaining and repeating later on. It is so nice to see him interested and fascinated with something other than cars, even if its bugs. The facts are all different and simple enough for kids to understand. Also the net is super easy to use as once you install the 3 AAA batteries (not included) you just turn it on and drop the bugs in. There are the two different functions on the side as well as two volume levels. I think the only thing that would make this better is maybe more bug facts, although we have yet to hear them all and maybe a way for the net to hold all the bugs for storage purposes. Overall though the bug net has kept my 3 and 5 year old busy and they love hearing all the random bug facts. They also think its like magic how the net knows which bug is in the net.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Thanks, Cher! Sounds like your kids went buggy for the Bug Net!

Just thought I'd let anyone know who had not heard.
"The agreement concludes weeks of contentious negotiations between the league and the NFL Players' Association. The new extension will add $7.5 million to the 2006 salary cap, pushing it to $102 million, Mortensen reports. Without a CBA extension, the 2006 cap would have been $94.5 million. The 2007 cap will be $109 million."

WASHINGTON —- President Obama asked the leaders of global businesses Tuesday to tell him what more the government can do to attract investment into the United States.
"We want folks to know this is a great place to do business," Obama said at a meeting of executives from 11 U.S. and foreign-based firms.
The administration is pushing a program it calls SelectUSA, saying it has helped nearly 500 businesses and led to some $18 billion in new business investments in 17 states and territories.
Obama said his team will hold a SelectUSA summit next March.
International companies represented at the White House meeting included the Ford Motor Company, Germany's Lufthansa airline, South Korea's Hankook Tire, Sweden's Ericsson communications technology firm and Switzerland's Zurich Insurance Group.
Obama told the executives he wanted them to talk about what the government has done right and wrong when it comes to attracting businesses.
The administration wants its agencies to work together and "be more systematic" about attracting investments, he said.
"We want to make sure that the federal government is working in sync with state and local governments when it comes to locating businesses here in the United States," he said.
