Experiencing A Pocket Of Freedom In The Southwest

Neil Harrison and I have started a 3 year project to document the sociology, topography, and recent history of the USA. We will hit every state as we travel in a diesel converted LandCruiser with a tent system built into the roof rack. We have started a website (futureroadmaps.tumblr.com) and twitter account in the event that anyone is interested in following the project. The eventual goal is a coffee table book and accompanying exhibits that make up our contemporary survey of American life. We are on the first week of trip 1.
The Earthship is by far the most genius piece of architecture we have ever seen
The Southwest
Now i'm pleased to introduce you to the Earthship. This pictured is one of the earliest Earthships designed. We stayed here for 3 days. It sits in a very tough environment and is now getting a bit of an overhaul on the outside adobe on account of 15 years of neglect. Pretty impressive that a few cracks are all it has sustained. A regular house would have collapsed at 8000 feet with snowy winters and heat wave summers. Every thing in it is built from old tires and mud, the roof is a rain water catch, and the water is held in the large drum and then used for the dishes and toilet. It is as off of the grid as you can get, solar, gray water etc. In the below and above shots from Neil's digi you can see the tires under the adobe styling.
The Earthship is by far the most genius piece of architecture we have ever seen. It is absolute integration with its environment, it is recycling at its best, it needs no heating or cooling other than an occasional fire in the snowy season. It is beautiful and comfortable, off the grid, and probably the most environmental and affordable housing on the planet; and we are not allowed to live in one. On the Earthship website they have a section that lists America's "pockets of freedom". There are very few places where we have the freedom to live environmentally by living in an Earthship. Nowhere in California are you permitted to build an Earthship even though they are a proven environmental mainstay in the mountains and deserts of New Mexico. The reason? Well it's the same reason I'm not allowed to drive my veggie converted Mercedes Diesel but I do anyway.
The government, both local and federal, is opposed to any environmentalism that is not controlled and taxed by them. Their greatest fear is that we as a society get smart, and begin to grow our own food, and provide our own heating and electricity, and fuel. Sure the Obamas have a nice organic garden, but Obama's head of the department of agriculture was one of the main lobbyists for Monsanto, and is waging a silent war against organic and independent farming. My governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is fighting tooth and nail to pass his global warming initiative, yet I will be fined if they catch me running my cars on veggie oil as I do, and I will be imprisoned if I build an Earthship on my own land in California, the state where I was born. It is time we wake up people. Our politicians are on the side of taxes, money, and power, not the environment.

Gen. Pinochet, who never faced trial, dies in Chile
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published December 11, 2006
SANTIAGO, Chile - Gen. Augusto Pinochet, who terrorized his opponents for 17 years after taking power in a bloody coup, died Sunday (Dec. 10, 2006), putting an end to a decade of intensifying efforts to bring him to trial for human rights abuses blamed on his regime. He was 91.
Supporters saw Gen. Pinochet as a Cold War hero for overthrowing democratically elected President Salvador Allende at a time when the United States was working to destabilize his Marxist government and keep Chile from exporting communism in Latin America. But the world soon reacted in horror as Santiago's main soccer stadium filled with political prisoners to be tortured, shot or forced into exile.
Gen. Pinochet's dictatorship laid the groundwork for South America's most stable economy, but his crackdown on dissent left a lasting legacy: His name has become a byword for state terror, in many cases secretly supported by the United States, that retarded democratic change across the hemisphere.
Gen. Pinochet died with his family at his side at the Santiago Military Hospital on Sunday, a week after suffering a heart attack.
"This criminal has departed without ever being sentenced for all the acts he was responsible for during his dictatorship," lamented Hugo Gutierrez, a human rights lawyer involved in several lawsuits against Gen. Pinochet.
A small group of Gen. Pinochet supporters gathered outside the hospital, weeping and trading insults with people in passing cars. Some sang Chile's national anthem.
Many other Chileans saw his death as reason for celebration. Hundreds of cheering, flag-waving people crowded a major plaza in the capital, drinking champagne and tossing confetti.
"Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship in Chile represented one of most difficult periods in that nation's history," said Tony Fratto, a White House spokesman. "Our thoughts today are with the victims of his reign and their families."
Chile's government says at least 3,197 people were killed for political reasons during Gen. Pinochet's rule, but courts allowed the aging general to escape hundreds of criminal complaints as his health declined.
Gen. Pinochet left no doubt who was in charge after the Sept. 11, 1973, coup, when planes bombed the presidential palace and Allende committed suicide with a gun Fidel Castro had given him. "Not a leaf moves in this country if I'm not moving it," he said.

Proposed Rules Would Help States Evaluate Medicaid Beneficiary Access To Care
May 3
Last Friday (April 29th), the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) released a proposed regulation that sets out a process for States to define what is otherwise ambiguous in the law: what it means to provide people on Medicaid with access to health care.
The law says that people with Medicaid must have generally the same access to care as people with other types of health insurance. And the research shows that people covered by Medicaid—mostly children, people with disabilities, the elderly and pregnant women — generally have good access to care.
But HHS has never issued formal rules to provide States with guidance on how to implement this portion of the law and that left States with many questions. And because those questions haven't been resolved, some states have wound up in court and some judges have been forced to make Medicaid policy.
States, understandably, have asked for federal guidance on this question so experts and state leaders — not judges – can make decisions about their Medicaid programs.
The proposed regulation responds to State requests by suggesting a process and a framework for analysis, rather than imposing a rigid nationwide standard. States would be expected to review whether access is sufficient for the services they cover, looking at each service category (e.g., hospitals, physicians) once every five years, using a transparent process that solicits public input. In addition, States would need to consider access when they propose a provider payment rate reduction.
This process relies on the three-part framework developed by the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission (MACPAC), which was created by Congress to look at these very issues. MACPAC suggests that access can best be evaluated by looking at enrollee needs, provider availability, and changes in the use of services.
Beyond this framework, we have proposed to leave it to States to determine which metrics are appropriate to consider. Every State is unique in terms of its delivery system, its enrollee needs and other key factors. A one-size fits all approach isn't appropriate, and it isn't something we have proposed.
We know that people will have different views about this proposal and we welcome all comments and opinions. This proposal is just that – a proposal for consideration – and nothing will go into effect until we have gathered and reviewed comments, made adjustments or modifications as appropriate, and issued a final rule.
These are difficult, complex questions and we look forward to hearing suggestions on additions, deletions, modifications, and different approaches. Let us know what you think.
The proposal went on display today at the Federal Register and can be viewed at: http://www.ofr.gov/OFRUpload/OFRData/2011-10681_PI.pdf or http://www.federalregister.gov/inspection.aspx
Cindy Mann is the director of the Center for Medicaid Services.

Newedge unveils radical restructuring
French brokerage Newedge today unveiled plans for an extensive restructure that will see the company split out its execution business into an agency only broker. The announcement comes amid a hostile trading and regulatory environment that "calls for action", the company's chief executive said.
Newedge, which is jointly owned by French banks Crédit Agricole and Societe Generale and which has been up for sale for more than a year, according to reports, said in a statement this afternoon that it would split its futures clearing and execution businesses into two separate entities.
Nicolas Breteau, chief executive of Newedge, told Financial News this afternoon that difficult market conditions combined with new regulatory developments had forced the company to review its strategy.
He said: "We are operating in a difficult environment: volumes are down, interest rates are flat, volatility is down, and the pressure from the regulators is extremely strong. I think the industry is at a turning point: this environment calls for action and therefore we have proposed a plan to the board."
The proposed restructure will allow the group to reduce its overall capital burden – which will grow under new international capital rules – by pushing its execution business into a separate agency brokerage. Agency brokers take on little risk and are therefore subject to lower capital requirements than banks.
Breteau said: "It's not optimal to pursue execution with a banking license, therefore we're splitting the two businesses into separate but close entities. The clearing, prime brokerage and balance sheet activity, will remain under the banking entity. As a group we tend to compete with two types of entities: in the clearing and prime brokerage business we compete with bulge bracket dealers, but in the execution business we tend to compete more with inter-dealer brokers."
Newedge provides multi-asset execution, clearing and financing services for small trading firms and buyside institutions which are not members of futures exchanges or clearing houses. The company is one of the biggest so-called 'futures commissions merchants' in the world with 3,000 employees spread across 20 locations, according to its 2011 annual report.
The industry has been buffeted by an unwillingness among institutional investors to take on risk which has in turn reduced trading and clearing volumes, and by rising compliance costs. The sector has also been rocked by two scandals, the collapse of MF Global in October last year and the bankruptcy of Peregrine Financial in July.
According to a recent report by consultancy Tabb Group, revenues across the futures commissions merchants business fell 42% in the past five years. However, Tabb Group also noted that the new regulatory landscape "will favour larger FCMs that provide investors with cutting-edge execution technology, efficient ways to manage and deploy capital and improved customer service".
Newedge is planning to simplify its business activities and geographical footprint, and streamline its operations to reduce costs, Breteau added: "The supermarket approach is no longer valid: we have to focus on our core competencies and the same is true of the geographies we operate in," he said. "There will inevitably be some consequences for staff. However, this plan will allow us to end up as a winner amid a period of consolidation which is undoubtedly coming to the industry."

"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is, by my count, the ninth movie in Marvel's Avengers ennealogy (a word I had to look up which refers to a nine-parter — and technically isn't true, as the series continues).
What I'm saying is, there are a lot of these movies. And they were starting to all run together a bit, most recently in sub-par sequels for "Iron-Man" and "Thor." So I didn't have particularly high hopes for an April release "Captain America" follow-up.
Turns out, it was the jolt of energy the series needed and the best superhero movie since "The Avengers."
It's a couple of years after the events of "The Avengers," and Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is settling in to modern life in his new home in D.C. He briefly befriends a war veteran/PTSD counselor named Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), but soon he's called away to duty on a S.H.I.E.L.D. mission by director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson).
On this mission, while Captain America is busy saving hostages from pirates, fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. operative Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) is, for reason's unclear to the Cap, busy downloading a bunch of intel to a flash drive. This sets off a web of intrigue that leads to a big bad new baddie known as The Winter Soldier.
Most of the best superhero movies have been character stories. "Winter Soldier" is instead a layered and paranoid espionage thriller. It's like what you'd get if John le Carre took a stab at the superhero genre.
It's not as if the characters aren't here — though Rogers is kind of a wet noodle compared to, say, Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark — they're just too busy trying to figure out who's crossing and double-crossing them.
Directed by brothers Anthony and Joe Russo — whose previous credits include TV's "Community" — "Winter Soldier" has some jaw-dropping action sequences punctuating the cracker-jack plot twists, too.
No, this isn't the level of filmmaking of the best superhero movies — "The Dark Knight" is still the high-water mark — but "Winter Soldier" is a rollicking good time, a cinematic page-turner.

By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, with more than 40,000 new cases diagnosed every year in the UK. This is usually a slow growing cancer and most men do not notice the symptoms until the cancer has become large enough to press against the urethra and interfere with urination.
The most common symptoms of a cancerous growth in the prostate include an increase in the frequency to urinate (particularly at night), a greater sense of urgency to reach a toilet, difficulty in starting and continuing to pass urine, a weak urine flow, and a feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder. These symptoms are also seen in a non-cancerous form of prostate enlargement called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
The exact cause of this cancer is unclear. Factors that influence the risk for the condition, however, include age, ethnicity and genetics. The risk of developing prostate cancer increases with age and the condition usually develops in men aged 50 years or older.
Individuals of Afro-Caribbean or African descent are at a greater risk of developing the cancer, while those of Asian descent are at less risk. In addition, men with a first-degree relative who has had prostate cancer are at a slightly increased risk for developing the condition.
There is no single test to diagnose prostate cancer. Usually, a diagnosis is made based on a physical examination of the prostate, blood tests and a biopsy.
The physical assessment is called a digital rectal examination and involves a doctor or nurse feeling for abnormalities in the prostate gland through the wall of the rectum using their finger. The healthcare professional may be able to detect a hardening or enlargement of the gland, for example. Blood is tested to check the level of a protein called prostate-specific antigen (PSA), as a raised PSA level may be an early indicator of prostate cancer.
If an abnormality is detected through DRE or PSA assessment, a doctor may order an ultrasound scan which uses sound waves to generate an image of the prostate gland that can be evaluated. A biopsy may also be taken, in which a tissue sample is removed from the prostate and sent for laboratory analysis to confirm whether cancer is present or not.
In many men with prostate cancer, immediate treatment may not be necessary. If the cancer is detected at an early stage, "watchful waiting" or "active surveillance" may be recommended. This approach involves careful monitoring of the patient for symptoms of aggressive cancer growth and may be considered in cases where the cancer appears to be slow growing, is not causing symptoms and is confined to one area of the prostate.
In some cases, prostate cancer can be treated and cured if caught early. Treatment includes surgical removal of the gland or prostatectomy, followed by radiotherapy to kill any remaining cancer cells. Prostatectomy and radiotherapy may be followed by hormone therapy, which cuts off the cancer cells' supply of testosterone, which fuels their growth.
Medications used in hormonal therapy can either stop the body producing testosterone or prevent the hormone form reaching the cancer cells. Another form of hormonal therapy is orchiectomy or removal of the testicles, to quickly reduce the level of testosterone produced.
Individuals with advanced prostate cancer that has spread to other organs or who have not been responsive to hormonal therapy may be treated with chemotherapy, which kills rapidly dividing cells such as cancer cells.

'All in the Family'
Edith Bunker died in 1980, but Jean Stapleton soldiered on until just more than a week ago, when she died at home in her own bed, surrounded by her children, at the age of 90.
I was one of the many people – of all ages – who eagerly looked forward each week for the showing of "All in the Family," back in the age when nearly every program could not be seen at least twice more on other channels, if the first showing was inconvenient, and there was no such thing as a VCR, let alone a DVR. It was an age of "Father Knows Best," and "Leave It to Beaver," when television showed us nothing but perfect families whose activities involved conflict only when Bud spied on Betty when she chastely kissed her prom date, but when such conflicts were easily resolved following a reasonable chat with Dad, who smoked his pipe throughout, then confessed to Margaret that he truly sympathized with both parties.
"All in the Family" centered around the far from perfect Bunker Family, who lived in a row house in Queens. Actor Carroll O'Connor got most of the attention, for his portrayal of Archie Bunker, the father of the family. Archie was a know-it-all worker on the loading dock of a large corporation. In many ways, he resembled Jackie Gleason and his character Ralph Kramden, the New York City bus driver who was perpetually getting into scrapes because of his own selfish ambitions and petty dishonesty, and whose tiny, hard-nagging wife was always being threatened with violence, although he would melt into a puddle of butter if she seemed truly angry or upset with him. But Archie said and did things Ralph would never have dared to say or do.
The true soul of the show, and the element which made it the top-rated show on television for five straight years of its nine-year run, was Ms. Stapleton, portraying Edith Bunker, Archie's long suffering wife.
Archie would fire off a long string of negatives about "Your Coloreds and your Yids and your Cat-licks," and then sweet tempered, soft hearted Edith would make a quiet statement, usually in terrible grammar, which demonstrated just how wrong he was, so clearly, even he had to realize it. At least twice, per 30-minute program, Archie would tell Edith to "Stifle yourself, would ya," and nearly always she would do so.
The couple had a daughter named Gloria, who stood up to her father, while her mother nearly always cowed and obeyed. Gloria was played by Sally Struthers, who was then slender and perky, and had one of those voices which breaks every few words. Gloria was married to Mike Stivik, known by Archie as "Meathead," and "the Pollock," and the younger couple lived with Gloria's parents, because Mike was still studying. Mike was played by Rob Reiner, and was a tree hugger and a protest sign waver who never agreed with Archie about much of anything.
The few times Edith ever stood up to her verbose, ranting husband usually involved some event in which he was unkind to Gloria and Mike. Edith loved Archie, even when he was at his most greedy, deceitful, and cruel, and when he plopped into his easy chair and demanded, "Get me a glass of milk, will ya?" she showed in every way that she was happy to be able to do it for him. Gloria would tell him to get it for himself, but Edith really saw getting it to be her place in life.
Archie and Edith were part of my parents' generation. My father had the same tendency to plop and demand, and my mother ran to do his will, and nearly always wanted to do so. With her high pitched, screeching voice and her fluttery behavior, when the show is repeated on television today, young people who really never knew that generation see Edith as a doormat, as an unrealistic, clown-like figure. But those of us who knew and loved people of that generation knew her as Everywoman. Her sisters in real life were the inspiration why many of the men who fought World War II often had "Mother" tattooed on their arms, and no one ridiculed them or found Freudian meanings in the practice.
Television critic Robert Lloyd, writing in the Los Angeles Times, described Edith as a cross among Gracie Allen, Olive Oyl, and a macaw. Her voice could make us feel as though someone was running his fingernails across a blackboard, her stories go off on so many tangents, it's difficult to remember who she was originally describing, and she often struck upon an unusual term, and nothing could make her abandon it. In one episode of the program, Archie made a rare foray into a supermarket, and was struck by a can of peaches, falling from a shelf. Edith just couldn't bring herself to say "a can of peaches." Instead, each time the offending can entered the conversation, she described them as "cling peaches in heavy syrup," sometimes twice or three times in the same sentence.
When we interviewed Norman Lear, the genius who created All in the Family," when he spoke at Chautauqua, last summer, he said he never thought of Archie as a truly bad person, nor of Edith as a poor example for women. He told me the Bunkers grew up as non-readers, in a world which had no television, few magazines, and very little opportunity to travel, even fairly short distances. "For 40 years," he told me, "Archie and Edith rarely, if ever, saw anyone who didn't speak and behave exactly as they did. They thought they understood the world. Then suddenly World War II came along and people often had to travel to very distant places and people were moving onto their very block, who were different races and different religions, and it made them afraid. They weren't afraid that the new people would harm them, so much, as that maybe their lives were wasted, misspent, lived in pursuit of something they couldn't or shouldn't have."
Jean Stapleton had a long and successful career, before she ever heard Edith's name. She was born Jean Murray, and took her mother's maiden name for the stage and films. The computer informs me that there was no family relationship between her and Oscar-winning actress Maureen Stapleton, with whom she was often confused, by the public.
She first appeared on the professional stage at age 18. Her biggest successes from the first 30 years of her career were major character roles in "Bells are Ringing," "Damn Yankees," and "Funny Girl." She was in both the Broadway casts and the films of those shows. It was in "Damn Yankees," that she first used the screechy voice we now think of as Edith's.
She played Meg Boyd, a middle aged housewife whose husband is a mad devotee of the Washington Senators baseball team. Like Edith, Meg was no beauty, but she was a warm, loving person. Eventually, her husband sells his soul to the devil, in return for being magically translated into the body of a young, wildly talented athlete who leads the team to win the American League Pennant.
The husband — now played by Tab Hunter, in the film — comes to her door and asks to rent a room, and lonely and in need of cash, she agrees, not knowing that her husband, who she believes has abandoned her, but who she still loves deeply, is living under her own roof. It's a performance which brings tears to most eyes, even 50 years after the film was made.
Stapleton's ability to simultaneously portray to her audience decency, courage, and naivete, in "Damn Yankees," inspired Lear, he would later report, to create the role of Edith as she eventually appeared, and to pursue the actor until she agreed to play the role, including the screeching voice which sounded completely unlike her own, rather dark mezzo soprano voice.
By 1980, the actor had been playing the role for nine years. When she did stage plays, during breaks in filming the show, people came to the shows, wanting to see Edith. Reviewers sometimes referred to her as Edith in print, rather than as Jean. When her last contract expired, she refused to renew it, even though Lear pleaded with her to do so and offered her major salary increases.
To deal with her loss, the name of the show was changed to "Archie Bunker's Place." Scripts had Archie lose his job on the loading dock, and mortgage the family's home in order to purchase Kelsey's Bar, the neighborhood tavern where he had often fled for refuge when wife and children got him down. In one of her last performances as Edith, the character learns that her husband had forged her signature on the loan application, in order to get the mortgage, and her feeling of betrayal is beautifully manifested, and touching.
Shortly after this, she disappeared from the program, and the scripts inform us that Edith has died of a stroke.
Jean Stapleton, on the other hand, continued performing. On Broadway and at regional venues, she played scripts by such demanding playwrights as Harold Pinter, Tom Stoppard, and William Inge. She appeared in several films, directed by Norah Ephron, including "You Got Mail," starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, and "Michael," which starred John Travolta as an angel.
She did a touring, one-woman production, portraying Julia Child, called "Bon Appetite," and often appeared on television series, including "Murphy Brown," "Everybody Loves Raymond," and Shelley Duvall's "Fairy Tale Theater." But to the end, whether elegantly gowned or dressed as a fairy tale character, people looked at her and saw Edith.
So, both Edith Bunker and Jean Stapleton are now gone from our cultural world, yet both remain among the best and the most precious elements of the artistic community.
The Broadway show "Book of Mormon" has gotten some of the biggest praise from both critics and audiences, in recent history of the Great White Way. In the coming week, the professional touring company of the show will be playing at Shea's Performing Arts Center, in Buffalo.
Most of the eight performances are already sold out, or are very close to it. However, the show has a policy that in each performance it presents, 20 tickets are set aside to be sold at the last minute, before the performance begins. The last-minute tickets which normally sell for $96.50 are being sold for $25 each, using a lottery system. People wanting to buy them should be at Shea's box office, beginning two and a half hours before each performance begins.
Name will be drawn at random, and each winner may choose to purchase one or two tickets for the performance which is about to begin. Winners must present valid ID to purchase.
Shea's is located at 710 Main St., in the downtown Buffalo Theater District.
Many people who regularly attend the performances at the Stratford Festival, in Canada, are familiar with the performances of Cynthia Dale. Ms. Dale is a singer and professional recording artist who has performed many leading musical and dramatic roles on Stratford Stages.
This year, Stratford is introducing what they call"The Forum," which is a festival within the festival. The Forum offers free or lower cost presentations to round out a visitor's time in the community, without needing to invest in the more expensive tickets to the regular performances. One of the first productions in this season is a series of concerts performed at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, on St. Andrew's St., in Stratford, by Ms. Dale and co-star Dan Chameroy.
Sadly, news of the concerts arrived after last week's column went to press, so several of the concerts have ended, before I could share the news with you. However, if you can make plans quickly, there will still be performances Monday, at 7:30 p.m., plus Tuesday, Thursday, and June 18 and 21, at 2 p.m. Tickets are festival seating, and cost $45, in Canadian funds.
Other elements of the Forum include lectures, meet and greet opportunities with actors, panel discussions and debates, visual exhibitions, film screenings, facility tours, and more. For specific information, go to www.stratfordfestival.ca and click on "The Forum."
The Buffalo History Museum offers a wide variety of programs, in June, in addition to their regular exhibits.
Offerings range from tours of the historic Hotel Lafayette to story times for children in the Japanese Gardens behind the museum building, to walking tours of the grounds of the world- renowned Pan American Exhibition, which made Buffalo the center of World Attention in 1901, especially when President William McKinley was assassinated while visiting the exhibit. Several exhibits and presentations celebrate diversity in the Buffalo Community, recognizing the contributions of gay and transgendered people to the community.
The third Friday of each month, in mild weather, the museum holds "Party on the Portico," which features live performances by musicians, refreshments, and other program elements. Admission to the museum and some related activities are free to the public on the third Friday of the month, but there is an admission charge to the Party on the Portico.
For complete information, go to the museum's web site at www.buffalohistory.org.
Each Thursday, through the end of August, the Burchfield-Penney Art Gallery invites the public to participate in their Watercolor Salons at the Burchfield. Bring your own watercolor materials, purchase a drink at the museum's cafe, and spend the evening painting in watercolor, and discussion the medium with fellow participants and members of the staff of the museum's International Center for Watercolor. Admission is $10 for members of the gallery and $20 for "not-yet" members. For additional information, go to the gallery's web site at www.BurchfieldPenney.org, or phone 878-3549.
Throughout June there is a wide selection of docent tours, critique opportunities by gallery staff members, lectures, concerts, and other programs. Use the web address or the phone number given above for specifics.

Cradlebaby was spawned from a married couple in 2011. They were tired of being told, and telling their kids, not to practice lacrosse in the house when they really wanted them to do just the opposite. The couple took matters into their own hands and invented Cradlebaby.
A Cradlebaby is a lacrosse practice ball designed to help kids of all ages and skills improve their lacrosse game. Specifically, to improve their cradling, dodges, fakes and shots by allowing them to practice indoors or out, all the time. The Cradlebaby training ball is a regulation lax ball tethered to a player's stick so that they can play with it without breaking windows, lamps, etc… The ball actually feels and trains like a regulation ball.
This is a big-time solution to an age old problem. Say goodbye to broken windows. For more information visit Laxcb.com.

I have been doing a 10" pie. Just started buisness less than a month ago....first gig was on October 10th....been so busy I can barely keep up. Did a pumpkin patch festival a couple of weeks ago, first day did 238 pies, second day did over 270. Was set to do the same event last Saturday but due to extremely hard rain event was cancelled at last minute. Couldn't let all those dough balls go to waste so we went to the local homeless shelter where they have a nice covered area for us to set up and fed over 200 homeless in an hour. What a workout that was...lol
guys, when you do catering and it is all you can eat, how do you calculate how many pizzas (let say 12 inches) per customer? In your experience, how many pizzas eat a person in a party like that?thanksnico
In your experience, how many pizzas eat a person in a party like that?thanksnico
Most pizza's are able to eat 1.3 people per sitting.....Ha! Sorry, couldn't resist. Nick(weemis) knows his stuff nico
Just about right Bob it about .75 PPP ( pie per person )Dough is cheap I only once ran out cus the guy skinned me for a 50 people party 40 dough balls has always been enough.John
wow, that is not a lot, I would had guess 1 pie per person.....thanks guys

by Nathan Ensmenger
The title of the book notwithstanding, the protagonist of George Dyson's Turing's Cathedral: The Origins of the Digital Universe is not the English mathematician Alan Turing, but rather the Hungarian polymath John von Neumann. Widely celebrated by historians of science for contributions to physics, mathematics, economics, and computer science, von Neumann is less well-known among the general public. Here, Dyson provides a concise and compelling biography that manages to humanize and, more impressively, make comprehensible the deep personal and intellectual connections among the wide-ranging interests and activities of this fascinating individual.
A Jewish émigré who resigned his position from a German university in the 1930s, von Neumann relocated to the newly founded Princeton Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) and threw himself into the war effort on behalf of the US, crisscrossing the country repeatedly as he circulated between Princeton, Los Alamos, Philadelphia (where he was involved with the Eniac project), Poughkeepsie, New York (where he served as a consultant to IBM), and seemingly every other major site of wartime techno-scientific development. Dyson makes excellent use of von Neumann's uncanny instinct to be "always willing to go where the action was" to navigate the reader through the complex web of academia, industry, and the military that characterized the early era of electronic computing.
The real subject of this book, however, is not a person at all, but rather a machine. Immediately following the end of the war, von Neumann leveraged his status and connections into a commitment by the IAS to build an electronic computer. The immediate motivation for doing so was von Neumann's ongoing collaboration with Los Alamos. During the war, his need to solve large numbers of hydrodynamic equations for blast calculations led him to the pioneering Eniac project and, in the early Cold War race, to build a hydrogen bomb, this military imperative became even more pressing.
But von Neumann also had a larger, more ambitious agenda in mind. The real significance of building computers, of "accelerating approximating and computing mathematics by factors like 10,000 or more," argued von Neumann, "lies not only in that one might do in 10,000 times less problems which one is now doing ... but rather in that one will be able to handle problems which are considered completely unassailable at present" (p. 85). It is this new mode of doing science through simulation that Dyson is most interested in, and much of the last third of the book attempts to make a connection between von Neumann's work on the IAS computer and later developments in computational biology. The IAS computer, Dyson argues, represents the true origins of modern computing, and von Neumann was first able to realize the vision of Alan Turing's Universal Machine.
Dyson's rich description of the history of the IAS computer is this book's most important contribution. The son of the physicist Freeman Dyson, George Dyson grew up in Princeton, and he makes great use of his insider knowledge and connections to paint a vivid and intimate portrait of Princeton in the late 1940s and early 1950s.... A curious mix of quaint, small-town isolation and cutting-edge cosmopolitan techno-science, Princeton in this period provided fertile ground for von Neumann to realize his vision.
In the last third of Turing's Cathedral, Dyson develops a thesis familiar to those who have encountered his earlier book Darwin Among the Machines.1 Building on the work of the biologist Nils Barricelli, Dyson posits a direct, literal equivalence between biological and computational processes. The machine language of the gene is the same as the machine language of the computer, Dyson argues, and Barricelli was the first to perceive this fundamental relationship. At the center of his argument is a series of computational experiments that Barricelli developed for and ran on the IAS computer between 1953 and 1956. According to Dyson, Barricelli's computer code represents the "Dead Sea Scrolls" that outline the "Genesis" of what we now know to be the digital universe, one in which iPods and the Internet are now effectively indistinguishable from biological organisms.
It is in developing his grand argument that Dyson is least convincing. He draws heavily on the work of fringe figures such as Barricelli without ever reflecting on why they were never taken seriously by more mainstream scientists. He stretches metaphors and analogies to the breaking point. This is particularly evident when he talks about the common language of "code" as mobilized by geneticists (as in DNA code) and computer scientists (as in machine code). The historian Lily Kay, among others, has revealed the way in which such shared metaphors traveled, were co-opted, and were transformed fundamentally by computationally minded biologists in the 1950s and 1960s.2 How seriously such metaphors and analogies were taken varied greatly, and their use continues to be controversial to this day. Dyson is either unaware of such arguments or has decided to ignore them.
The first half of this book is a beautifully written and compelling account of an important moment in the history of computing, but its overreaching and sensationalist conclusions diminish its value and effectiveness. As a historian of computing, there is much in this book that I found useful and interesting, but I would have serious reservations recommending it to a general audience. Dyson references almost none of the existing historical literature, and cherry-picks selectively from the history of computing to support his central thesis, imposing on the past a presentist and universalizing perspective. One would never know, from reading this book, that the IAS computer, although a pioneering and influential development, was but one of many stored-program computers built in this period, or that the computationalist turn in biology was resisted, and continues to be resisted, by many in the life sciences. This is a teleologically driven history in which the outcome is inevitable. We are living in a digital universe, according to Dyson, and it just happened to take us until recently to discover it. To paraphrase one of his numerous Biblical metaphors, God is a computer, and Turing and von Neumann were his prophets.

The Bears got a boost with the return of Jay Cutler in a 28-10 win over the Vikings. The Falcons edged the division rival Bucs 24-23 and the Giants bounced back with a 38-10 win over the Packers.Get More NFL Video
The final Sunday in November saw some teams need to shake off a holiday hangover as they needed to stage late rallies to pick up victories, such as the Ravens, Broncos, and Falcons.
Tampa Bay's Doug Martin found the endzone twice on the afternoon. His second, a 1 yard plunge gave the Buccaneers a 20-17 lead early in the fourth quarter. However, Matt Ryan led Atlanta down the field to set up a three yard score from Michael Turner that proved to be the difference as the Falcons edged the Bucs 24-23. After the game Coach Mike Smith knew how important a role his franchise QB played in the comeback (( soundbite ))
In the Windy City, the Bears were thankful for the return of their injured signal caller. Jay Cutler was back under center after missing last week with a concussion. Cutler was an efficient 23/31 for 188 yards with a touchdown and an interception as the Bears cruised to a 28-10 victory. However, the win came at a cost as Chicago lost Devin Hester, Matt Forte, Charles Tillman, and a pair of starting offensive lineman all to injury in their game agains the Vikings (( soundbite ))
The Giants crushed the Packers in a prime-time matchup that featured the past two Super Bowl Champions. Eli Manning threw for 249 yards and three touchdowns. Manning moved into sole possession of the franchise lead for touchdown passes with 200, passing New York legend Phil Simms. The Giants defense forced two Aaron Rodgers turnovers and held the Super Bowl 45 MVP in check after a 61 yard hookup with Jordy Nelson in the first quarter as New York walloped Green Bay, 38-10.
Week 12 comes to a close Monday night as the 3-7 Philadelphia Eagles play host to the 2-8 Carolina Panthers in a matchup of disappointing NFC squads. CineSign off.

Abstract: Proposes five alternate management strategies. Alternative A emphasizes natural enhancement of the Outstandingly Remarkable Values (fishery, water quality and quantity, recreation, scenery and cultural resources), while calling for less overall use of the corridor. Alternative B is the No Action alternative. This alternative protects the ORV's and significant values while having only the voluntary boating guidelines and maximum facility capacity to restrict recreation use. Alternative B1 attempts to maintain existing recreational use of the corridor - particularly boating use - as defined by use levels measured in 1990. This is the Current Use Alternative. Developments proposed under this alternative would serve to better accommodate already existing levels of use. All the ORV's and significant values in the corridor will continue to be maintained or enhanced. Alternative C, while allowing a slight increase in recreational use of the corridor, has more restrictions than the No Action alternative to limit use. All the ORV's and significant values in the corridor will continue to be maintained or enhanced. Alternative D allows maximum recreational utilization of the corridor. However, the identified Outstandingly Remarkable Values continue to be maintained or enhanced. Description: 148 pp. Figures, tables, appendices, references. The 33.8-mile segment of the North Umpqua Wild and Scenic River from Soda Springs powerhouse downstream to Rock Creek is located exclusively within Douglas County in the southwestern portion of Oregon and within the Umpqua River Drainage Basin, an area of approximately 4,580 square miles. Approximately 25.4 miles lie within the Umpqua National Forest and 8.4 miles within the Bureau of Land Management.

They're clearly one of the worst teams in the league. Even the eteranal optimists have to realize that by now. If not, just look at the standings. They're one game out of last place in the East, which has six teams with winning records.
Sad thing is they haven't even hit the hardest part of their schedule yet. That comes in January. Can they even win before then? Here's their upcoming games:
Sun, Dec 12 @ Oklahoma City -- 12-point underdogs
Wed, Dec 15 @ Miami -- yeaaaaaaa
Fri, Dec 17 @ Indiana -- already obliterated by them in Indiana
Sat, Dec 18 vs NY Knicks -- seven straight wins and who stops Amare?
Mon, Dec 20 vs Utah -- one of the best in West
Wed, Dec 22 @ Atlanta -- already lost by double digits (or close) at home
Sun, Dec 26 vs Minnesota -- destroyed by them in Minny w/out Beasley
Tue, Dec 28 vs Orlando -- couldn't even beat them with LeBron
Wed, Dec 29 @ Charlotte -- hey, someone worse than Cavs! but on road
I'll still take the Minnesota game as most likely for the Cavs to get their next win. Indiana would be my next choice. I don't see how the Cavs even have a winning record against the spread getting double digits against half these teams. They'll be lucky to win two games the rest of the month. I don't see them having 14 wins by the end of January.

Earnings Forecasts: Voodoo Science, Pt 1 of 2
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The IMF just updated its forecasts for growth. Once again developing countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa are outpacing the U.S. and Europe by two, three and four times. Of course, U.S. corporations are extending their operations in developing countries. However, what is good for growth is bad for the accuracy of annual or quarterly earnings forecasts. There are multiple reasons for this.
For many CFOs, it will simply stretch their capabilities to accurately forecast the financial impact of big threats, like militant uprisings, surprise regulations, or social unrest in the markets served. In part, the challenge is media censorship. In part, it is the challenge of estimating the risk of the unimaginable. Remember the destruction to Fonterra's (NZ) financials and brand? It was a result from a joint venture with state-owned Sanlu, which was operating under the directives of China's Propaganda Department to conceal the devastation from contaminated milk products.
In the early 2000s, pundits talked about political risk like it had been relegated to history. Then Venezuela, Argentina and Bolivia surprised some foreign corporate guests with industry nationalizations, and Venezuela, Belarus, and Ethiopia surprised partners and investors with big currency devaluations.
It's easy to spring big government-action surprises for the 20+ governments headed by super presidents, like Russia, supreme or paramount leaders, like China, or all-powerful monarchs, like the six nations in the Gulf Cooperation Council. Not only can decisions be made fast, the media is tightly controlled.
In the U.S., there are advance warnings of impending government actions. Some that bring joy are U.S. trade sanctions. But sanctions are quid pro quo. In the past five years, for each complaint filed by the U.S. with the WTO, one has been filed in return.
Last year, the U.S. went after China's solar panel industry. It was good news for domestic solar panel makers, but bad news for domestic producers of polysilicon, because China threatened tariffs on their products. Last year, when the U.S. filed a trade dispute threatening sanctions against Chinese auto parts exporters, China responded the same day with increased tariffs on autos from the Big Three.
The U.S. is a world-beater when it comes to flexible labor regulations. If a business needs to trim back costs to meet projections, it's relatively easy and cheap to do this with a large layoff, or closing down a business. In many countries, this option won't be easy or cheap, and it may not be permitted at all.
Then there is the unexpected. This year Anglo American (AAL.L), following South African labor regulations, announced an impending mass layoff. The South African government countered with a threat to revoke its license to mine.

Rita Ora Gorgeous Long Messy Curls
Those gorgeous blonde curls suit Rita Ora to perfection, we love how careless and free this young artist has become. The freedom she promotes in her shoots and her music is truly the essence of her beauty and really inspires a lot of women to prance around looking a little more casual than usual and yet still feel sexy and desired! So ladies don't be shy to walk around in a hot mess as long as that mess is tamed properly.

When I was participating in drills in boot camp, I was too young to register for the draft. It was a period when a majority of Americans had biblical moral standards, teachers were interested in educating children, most news professionals attempted to be truthful and politicians had a deep love and respect for their country.
Today, I do not recognize the United States.
Moral deviants are glorified. Successful people are vilified. People who are failures blame the rich. Many teachers, journalists and politicians have forgotten that their orthodoxy does not excuse them from virtue.
There are various "churches" that have substituted situational morality for biblical principles. The United States has lost its soul and founding principles.
I still feel sorry and pray for journalists, teachers, professors and politicians who believe they are exempt from the Ten Commandments and God's judgment.
Solution: I have lived, worked and traveled overseas. There are countries where religious values are respected, schools educate rather than indoctrinate, news organizations are not political shills, and leaders attempt to bring together their citizens.

James 'Don' Gray's rank is painted in bold, white letters beneath the window of his fully restored World War II era Jeep.
"Privates won the war," Gray, said. "Privates and 19-year-old kids."
Gray and his grandson spent a little more than a year tracking down parts for the Jeep and bringing the 70-year-old vehicle back to life.
Gray, 87 (he'll be 88 in December), will drive it in the Veterans Day Parade Saturday, and it will be a nostalgic turn toward a scant few months of the war Gray actually enjoyed.
After the Germans surrendered, Gray, one of the few GIs with a driver's license, was assigned to the quartermaster corps, driving around northern France delivering rations to fellow soldiers as peace was settling in.
It was a good job and a fun one, he said.
But it didn't come until after weeks and months of cold, pain and the drum of artillery shells as part of the Gen. George Patton's 3rd Army, 4th Infantry Division.
Gray was 16 years old when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.
He enlisted in the Army but was given a deferral until he graduated from high school in Walled Lake, Mich.
Three years later, in 1944, Gray was on a boat bound for the Mediterranean Sea, headed for Marseille, France.
Gray said he and his company landed Dec. 23, set up a makeshift camp and began hearing word of a major German offensive near the Ardennes Forest in Belgium.
The action would later become known as the Battle of the Bulge, a campaign near Luxembourg and Belgium that would cost massive casualties.
Gray said after his company made camp in Marseille, a snowstorm dropped 10 inches on them.
It was a sign of things to come and the hot meal Gray got that day would be his last for weeks.
Gray said the next day his company was taken to a makeshift airfield and flown up to Luxembourg.
"I could tell by the looks on the faces of the men at the field that we knew damn well we were in for trouble," Gray said.
He said his company was essentially relief and replacement for the casualties the allies suffered in the Germans' initial push.
The company spent a couple of weeks training, then moved to the front.
"We were in this bombed out building when a guy came in and asked if anybody knew a Private James Gray," Gray said. "It was my brother and he'd come up to the front line to see me."
Gray said the siblings talked for a little while before his brother wished him well.
Soon after, the company was on the move again.
Gray's group was sent across the Saar River along the western border of Germany. His company crossed the freezing water by using rubber boats as tow ferries, moving six to eight people at a time.
"As we were moving across the river, the Germans opened up their artillery on us," Gray said.
He said his company made it across the water and to a railroad track, where a small village could be seen to the right.
Gray's group made it into the forest under more artillery fire and used what was left of the trees after the shelling to build shelters.
They slept in the cold that night.
"The next morning we walked down the trail toward that village and right into the damn machine gun fire," Gray said.
His company suffered its first casualties as it tried to enter the village.
Gray said he ducked for cover into an abandoned building and holed up there all day while German snipers worked on his fellow soldiers.
The company eventually made it back to the cover of the forest, where the struggle stretched out for days.
Gray said he doesn't remember about how long it lasted but guesses at least two weeks.
His rations ran out. The company ate snow that tasted like gunpowder, he said.
"That's the way it went," he said. "Day in and day out."
Until one day Gray felt the rumble of heavy arms. He thought it must be German tanks but was relieved to see the star painted on their sides.
Gray's journey away from the front ended in a hospital in England, his hands and feet severely injured from the frost. It took months before he could put weight on his feet.
Eventually he healed and was on his way back to France.
"The war ended the first night I was back," he said. "You could hear the commotion."
Eventually, Gray sailed back across the Atlantic on a small vessel through a hurricane.
"I was never afraid," he said of the trip back home. "But I can tell you I was really concerned."
When the boat came within view of the Statue of Liberty, Gray said every man on the vessel choked up.
After he came home, he came West to join his parents in Pueblo. Gray met his wife Geraldine here and started a family. He worked in an auto body shop, worked for the Pueblo Army Depot and La Junta School District.
The idea for the Jeep came around last year when he started reminiscing about his experiences in the war and took out an advertisement in The Pueblo Chieftain looking for a Jeep.
He found one in Rocky Ford and set to refurbishing the vehicle over the next year.
"I'm just really proud of my grandson and of my intestinal fortitude," he said.
