Students Making a Difference: Volunteering towards a Future
WINONA, Minn. - A local student lays the groundwork for her future, while serving people in need.
This month's Student Making a Difference is Casey Peterson, a senior at Winona Senior High School.
She volunteers two hours a day, four days a week at the Developmental Achievement Center as part of a class.
The organization works with adults who have a disability, helping them find a job or volunteer throughout the community. It also gives them the tools they need to reach their potential.
One of the D.A.C.'s area of emphasis is physical therapy. That's where Casey spent her time volunteering.17962220
She would help the participants ride the exercise bikes, encourage them while bouncing on workout balls, and exercise with a Richard Simmons video.
Casey says it was a great experience working in a new kind of environment.
"I got a new outlook on things and helped me decide that I kind of want to do that for my future and I guess I wouldn't have known that I wanted do that if I hadn't come here and helped out," said Casey.
Ryan Buhler is the vocational coordinator at the D.A.C. and says it's a luxury to have students like Casey volunteer. It gives the participants a chance to have the one on one time they desire.
"Casey came in with a really great attitude, she came an wanted to be here, wanted to be a part of it," says Buhler, "Casey built a great report with a few of our clients and really got along well with them, I think she got as much out of it and enjoyed being there as much as they did."
Casey will graduate this May and plans to major in Occupational Therapy at UW-La Crosse. That way she can work in an environment like the D.A.C.

Though we were both raised Catholic, my husband and I made a conscious decision to eschew religion when raising our son. I'm a big believer in love over rites and rituals. Like many parents, we want him to make an informed decision about his own spirituality when he is old and mature enough to do so. Yet part of me wonders if agnosticism is truly the right move.
On June 17, Pope Benedict XVI told Irish Catholics that it is a "mystery" to him why priests and other church officials have been abusing children entrusted to their care for at least the past several decades. Though I am not a Catholic, a clergyman, a child abuser or a victim of one, I may be able to help clear up the mystery.
Last month the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith scolded the Leadership Conference of Women's Religious for subscribing to "radical feminist themes" like social justice and poverty, while being silent about abortion and same sex. It simply looks bad. Many feel that nuns represent the strength and mainstay of Catholic Church.

Along with the Mini Stocks the Barrett's Race Cars And Components Of Daytona Beach Hobby Stocks ran on Friday night. Of course, Tommy Ausburn got a new view of Bubba Raceway Park as he violently flipped his #69 while leading the heat race. Kevin Durden, who actually started yelling, trying to find out if Ausburn was okay, lended his Thunderstock to Ausburn so he could start the feature and hold on to 5th place in points. On lap 2 Robert Sirmons cut the left rear bringing out a caution. Meanwhile Chad Scranton was leading with a bandaged hand. A 4 lap run was halted when Mark Maresca, Eric Arminio, Buck Woodhouse, Jeff Sargent, and Scott Haas spun in turn 4. Scranton had Tim Powers and Grady Christian in hot pursuit now. Powers made the pass on lap 7 and didn't look back until lap 8 when Arminio and Brett Barrett made contact before Maresca, Woodhouse, and Sirmons joined in the accident. Joe Boyd brought out the yellow on lap 16 with Tim Gay right behind Powers. Trevor Gamble spun on lap 18 setting Powers, Gay, and Scranton up for a 2 lap dash. Powers slipped in the middle of 3 and 4 on the final lap giving Tim Gay a chance and driver #90 powered to the checkers. Powers finished 2nd but went to victory lane as the champion. Scranton, Christian, and Kevin Durden completed the top 5. Johnny Zackery finished 6th while Sean Babcock took an impressive 7th place finish. Don Woosley ended his season 8th, Buck Woodhouse was 9th, and Trevor Gamble finished 10th.
UMP DirtCar Open-Wheel Modified action got underway with one crazy line-up. Buzzie Reutimann and Wayne Hammond started on row 1 with a combined age of over 120. Row 2 consisted of David Reutimann and Ivedent Lloyd, Jr., both Powell Memorial champions. Row 3 had 2 of the fastest men at Bubba Raceway Park in Kyle Bronson and Mark Whitener. Lap 2 saw Jim Passino, Dalton Lanich, Joe Belkey, Scott Mooers, and Jason Davis involved in a spin. All continued on. A 20 lap run, the longest of the season, followed before Kent Corbin's right front let go. This allowed every one to refuel and put more tear offs on as it was used as the competition caution. Hammond led David Reutimann and Kyle Bronson on the restart. Reutimann powered past Hammond on the restart and began to pull away but on lap 30 the field bunched back up when Jeff Mathews and Joe Belkey spun in turn 2. The restart saw David Moheng, B Main winner, spin in turn 4. The next restart saw Tim Powers, Buzzie Reutimann, Dalton Lanich, and Ronald Soltis get the worst of a brake check game. All continued on. David Moheng spun on lap 36 and Kyle Bronson made slight contact but not enough to destroy his race. Just 3 laps later Dalton Lanich broke something in the rear end while running an impressive 6th. Reutimann was still leading Bronson and Hammond through it all. With 10 to go Rich Pratt had a tire go flat and he brought out the yellow. On lap 43 Jeff Mathews slowed entering turn 1 and Jeff Bagent made what appeared to be incidental contact. The caution was thrown as the leaders were rapidly approaching. On the restart Mathews and Bagent showed their displeasure at each other and a brawl nearly came to be. Mathews calmed down when he remembered about the championship he so wanted. Both were parked for the remainder of the Modified event. It was green to the end but the David Reutimann Foundation D00 of David himself won with Wayne Hammond 2nd. Jason Davis took an impressive podium finish with Ivedent Lloyd, Jr. and Buzzie Reutimann behind. Tim Powers finished 6th, Kyle Bronson spun on the last lap trying to win and finished 7th, Ronald Soltis 8th, Rich Pratt 9th, and Dalton Lanich completed the top 10. In victory lane Reutimann was ecstatic and joked 'The only thing I've won all year!' Mathews went to the work area to suit up for his Late Model race.
The National Late Model Series Hedman Hussler Hedders Southern Dirt Tour finished their season at Bubba Raceway Park with an intense points battle between 3 drivers. On lap 8 John Koller spun out of turn 4. Ivedent Lloyd, Jr. led Mark Whitener and Austin Kirkpatrick at this time. The next 40 laps saw 1 of the most dominant performances you'll ever see anywhere. Ivedent Lloyd, Jr. went faster and faster and lapped all but 1 driver and even he was 3/4 of a lap down at a point. On lap 48 Bobby Richardson lost air in the tire and found the turn 2 wall ending Lloyd's chances of lapping the whole field. Mark Whitener was left with Lloyd on the lead lap which meant he could cruise around to an NLMS title. Lloyd took the $5000 check and the Bubba Raceway Park championship for the 3rd time (he hadn't focused on winning the title since he last won it back in 1993) while Whitener became a National Late Model Series champion. Jeff Mathews showed that he can run the Late Model with the best and he finished 3rd with "IceMan" Austin Kirkpatrick a solid 4th. Jason Fitzgerald completed the top 5. Rodney Wing was 6th, Hunter Peacock finished 7th but saw a championship fade away in the closing stages of 2011. Dillon Wood finished 8th but held on to place 2nd in the standings at Bubba Raceway Park. Bo Allen and Brandon DeWitt completed the top 10. Lloyd and Whitener threw compliments and congratulations back and forth in victory lane and showed that 2 of the best are also 2 class acts.
In the only points battle that truly came down to the last race the Amsoil V-8 Thunderstocks gave the fans a thriller for the ages and gave fans of a certain driver heart attacks throughout as well. With the way the starting line-up was set the 2 competitors for the title, Jason Gamble and Brian Shea, were tied after the drop night of points (27 for Gamble; 0 for Shea) setting up a battle for the ages. Unfortunately, on lap 2 Luke Sadler and Donnie Dobbins got the blame for an accident that knocked the right front of Gamble's 21 out of place. He was able to stay on track but was left hoping for a miracle. Scott Brumfield spun around on the restart while Robbie Shell lost a tire that nearly shot into the work area. Marlon Durbin spun on lap 10 and "Clutch" Jonathan Gillette made slight contact. A lap later Terry Dunbar had tire trouble. Meanwhile Davey Kinsey, Kevin Durden, and David Miller, Jr. were battling up front. On lap 13 the top 5 reshuffled after David Miller, Jr. and Kevin Durden made contact and both went to the tail. The Stalnaker brothers took advantage of that incident and went 2-3 for the restart. Jason Gamble spun 8 laps later bringing out the yellow. Another 8 laps were run before Luke Sadler lost his right rear and the field slowed again. Miller did the same with the left rear on lap 36. On the restart Mike Stalnaker scraped the wall with the right side and ended his night in turn 2. That allowed his brother Jeff to smell the front with just Kinsey to pass. On lap 42 Jason Gamble spun by himself knowing the championship may be lost but it was still a great season for his team. Kinsey went flag-to-flag while Stalnaker was a happy 2nd. Justin Durbin was a quiet 3rd. Jonathan Appleby originally finished 4th but was disqualified in the tech shed. That allowed the newly crowned champion "Speechless" Brian Shea to finish 4th and his team-mate Gordon Cade to complete the top 5. Kevin Durden was 6th, Jason Blackmer 7th, Shane Nichols 8th, Jeff Baer an up-and-down 9th, and Marlon Durbin completed the top 10. In victory lane Kinsey was happy to finally finish and reward owner Augie Burttram for all of the hard work Big Frog Motorsports puts in to every one of their race cars. On the other side of victory lane a mob of supporters had surrounded Brian Shea. Shea thanked sponsors, crew members, and supporters but had no other words.
From a battle that went until the final 50 laps to a championship that was sealed a few weeks ago. The Gladiators put on posiibly the best show of the entire week-end as they had more lead changes than the other 5 divisions combined. On lap 6 Jordan McMillan, last week's winner, hit the wall in a 3-wide battle and the right front shot off of the 68. Steve Cox, the man who would be crowned champion later in the night, hit the tire and destroyed the radiator. His night was over. On the restart Denica Hetznecker was the meat in the sandwich and when Billy Holmes glanced off the wall he made incidental contact which sent the 16 into the outside wall before it tried to leave Bubba Raceway Park in turn 3. Hetznecker was okay but the #16 didn't appear to be as fortunate. Just 2 laps later Reid Christensen overtook Curtis Clark for the lead but on lap 19 he gave it back as the engine began to expire. The 17D stopped on track a lap later as it had no power. Brad Fender, Jr. used the restart to position himself to battle with Clark and that they did. On lap 30 fender finally got around Clark but 2 laps later Clark took it back. On lap 39 Billy Holmes right front went flat ending a great run for driver #26. The final 11 laps of '11 were green and Curtis Clark held on to the win. Fender was 2nd, Casey Feaster put pink in 3rd, Ray Hunter 4th, and Austin Stamper an impressive top 5. Steve Johnson cut a tire on the last lap and finished 6th, Rex Christensen was 7th, Billy Holmes 8th, Mike Autenreyth finished 9th, and Reid Christensen completed the top 10. Clark held the emotions in check in victory lane as did Steve Cox.

Hello Everybody. I had bees when I was a kid and liked them. I bought the hive when I was around 10 years old myself and I wound up with 2 hives my brother also had him a hive as a kid. I didnt have a clue what I was doing back then, but I learned alot and got stung alot!! LOL Ive studied and read everything I could about bees pretty much my whole life. Well I decided to get back into the bees. In the last couple of weeks Ive managed to come up with a few swarms and One cutout hive from a blown down tree. Plus I orederd two packages a couple months ago and they will be here in a week or so. so Ive gotten more bees than I expected.
I live in Garfield Arkansas. I have a wife and 3 kids. My oldest is my only son he is 14. He has a bee suit too and he gets right in there with me. We catch swarms together and work the hives together. I love to hunt and fish. Work with my Horses and Mules, and now my newest Project workin my bees.

I am posting this from New Zealand and although we do not have SHB in our country, I read a very interesting article in our local National Beekeepers Association journal, The New Zealand Beekeeper of a control method they are using in Australia.We beekeepers need all the help we can get, and as I get so much useful information from this forum, I thought I should share this with all of you.
If it works it could be an effective method of controlling SHB.
The method is to use Chux disposal multi purpose kitchen cloths. I am sure if you don't have Chux that you will have a similar product in your hardware stores or supermarkets.
Place the fresh cloth across the top of the frames of the top honey super every couple of weeks, when new supers are put on to replace the ones taken off for extraction. The bees do not like the cloth and try to take them apart and out of the hive and in the process they make them fluffy.
The beetles move up to the top of the hive to get away from the light and the bees and get caught in cloth, where they either die from starvation or the bees get hold of them and dispatch them.
I know that the Northern Hemisphere is just coming out of winter but this may be helpful in a couple of months time

Workers Cheer Living Wage Victory in Austin
Construction workers and others in the Austin, Texas, area are celebrating a coalition victory this week after Travis County commissioners approved a first-ever economic development policy that includes a living wage requirement.
The policy requires contractors asking for tax incentives to move into the county to pay all employees at least $11 per hour. It's a significant improvement over the prevailing construction hourly wage of $7.50.

Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport adds new nonstop flight
BOZEMAN, Mont. - Nonstop flights to the East Coast are coming back to Bozeman. These flights are scheduled for the summer season and airport officials said they expect to be busy.
"This coming summer United Airlines will be expanding its service to New York's Newark Airport with Saturday and Sunday service this year," said Airport Director Brian Sprenger.
Sprenger explained he is always educating airlines about opportunities Bozeman's airport can provide and how he wants to see new airlines fly into Bozeman.
"Anytime we are working with the airlines we try to bring to them the market that we have," said Sprenger.
Sprenger said they are adding flights to make it easier for passengers to get to their destinations faster. "Nonstop service to any destination means that it makes it more convenient too. Less stops, less connections certainly allows for a quicker flight, but of course sometimes there's a drive involved," he said.
NBC Montana caught up with a passenger just getting off his flight. JD Hale is from Boston and says these nonstop flights are a good way to get more people visiting Montana.
"I think it will attract more people who really enjoy the mountains out here in Montana," said Hale.
Amy McDonald, the general manager of the Baxter Hotel,said having these flights during the summer will be great for business. "I think that it gives people more options definitely want to attract people here without stopping over Utah and Denver," said McDonald.
Sprenger said the convenience of traveling from one destination to another without stopping will be a big hit this year.

Shipping Tags & Seals for Handling Requirement Notices
Ensure back-of-the-house workers in your warehouse or factory adhere to special handling requirements by using shipping tags and seals. Prewired designs make it simple to attach these tags to items entering or leaving your facility, and durable construction reduces the chance of damage during the shipping process. A variety of colors allows your shipping and receiving department to use these tags to improve organization and workflow, and an array of sizes gives you options for tagging everything from pallets to single boxes.
Sizes and Styles for Numerous Purposes
Choose from a variety of sizes, styles and colors to get the shipping tags and seals ideal for use in your particular industry or facility. Choose plain manila tags to notify workers to handle items with care, or select brightly colored tags to inform employees of potentially dangerous items. Alternatively, create a proprietary organization system that keeps your warehouse or factory on top of its game. Specially designed reject tags make it easy for workers to tell which shipments they must return to suppliers for rework or replacement.
Durable Designs for Extra Security
Choose durable shipping tags and seals that stand up well to frequent handling during the intake and release process in your shipping department. Opt for tags made from 13-point cardstock that resists rips and tears from standard handling, and select sturdy wire attachments that slide inside reinforced holes on the tags for extra security on each pallet or box. Bulk packaging from trusted names such as Quill Brand and Tyvek provides you with up to 1,000 shipping tags and seals per order, making restocking your supply a simple, convenient task.

At its best, skating is both sport and art, and at its best, art inspires us with its beauty, or its uniqueness. With so much bad news within the sport and everywhere one looks in the world, I thought I would start an inspirational thread where one can link to performances or parts that inspire us and give us hope for the sport as it dwindles.
It could be a recent performance/program from this season or something that inspires you from long ago. This thread is what we make of it, a place to find great ideas, performances, quotes, memories, or nothing. I offer the idea as we close another season, and know that inspiration is badly needed. It might even be just a line from your favorite skater that has stayed with you a while. I hope it will be a special, sincere and even fun thread, where collectively we create something worthwhile.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by jkl, Mar 19, 2013.
Any ideas WHY this didn't work out?
I wish we'd at least have gotten to see them compete once.
So glad to here This. Andrea and Joshua would make a great pairing. She is a beautifull skater.
Only problem is she is Canadian and he is American so high level Oly competing is a problem right? Unless he is going to try to gain dual citizenship or maybe he has that already does anyone know?
They would be beautiful together.
Colin may be tall enough, but I don't think he looks like he would be strong enough.
I think Speroff would be strong and tall enough, his last partner Brittany Chase was at least 5'3. I also think he would be pushed more to get his jumps consistent but I don't think he would ever leave Donlan. I remember reading an article prior to Nationals where he was quoted as saying that Donlan would be his last partner. Since I love D/S I am happy that he doesn't seem inclined to change partners and will work through their issues, although I think he and Yankowskas would look fabulous together.
So, what about Mark Ladwig, as mentioned previously? He is older, but this might be for only this one year for a wild shot at the Os, and they seem like a good physical match...
I am so bummed about this!
Hey, is Themi Leftheris available/eligible??
Can't think of anyone else (save Mark Ladwig) off the top of my head.
Sure hope we see Caitlyn skate again. Loved her posture and extension!
Get her a Russian skater ASAP!!!!
Obviously her goal should now be 2018 instead of Sochi. I'm sure we can get her some lonely starving-for-a-partner foreign skater.
I'm actually serious*
Didn't Brian Joubert say he wanted to try pairs after 2014?
Morgan Matthews wanted a release to skate for Azerbaijan and later to skate for Canada (IIRC) and USFS kept refusing her. She lawyered up but didn't manage to get the release ever IIRC.
She was a Junior World Champion, however. Yankowskas never medalled at ISU Championships, did she?
How sad and frustrating. After listening to her interview with Jenny Kirk I thought things must be working out. I actually saw Caitlin and Joshua skate last year at the Skate for Hope show in June and the sp at Skate for Detroit in July and they appeared really rough. He seemed extremely nervous and stiff with no expression and she had jump problems. I thought it was just because they needed more time together. Whole thing is really sad.
I'm glad you said this. I had the same impression from watching the youtube clips including the one taken from a distance at the Galleria in Dallas. He looked like he was totally uninterested in skating.
A bronze at Cup of China was the closest, I think.
I recalled Matthews, but haven't looked up whether the rules are exactly the same now. I recalled some tightening on citizenship issues, but flexibility on Pairs/Dance & some discussion about the goal not being to allow a federation to stop a skater from ever competing again. Just haven't had time to look it all up in the last couple of days!
Jarrett- in simple terms, yes, it is the process of being permitted to skate for another country, and the wait time varies based on whether the skater competed internationally for a country and whether it is singles or pairs/dance. The ISU has a rule & communication (1420, IIRC) about it, but member federations add their own "layer" of requirements. USFS, oddly IMO, may have "policies," but it isn't part of their published Rulebook. Worse, ISU doesn't have any deadlines for acting (like 30 days from receipt...), so it really can just be a big mess.
Josh Regan skated stiffly with no expression when he was with Ashley Cain. Ashley was definitely the star of that pairing.
You know it would be so much easier if she could snatch a partner from someone else...
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
I'm NOT surprised by this at all for some reason. IDK - all the withdrawals last season.
FWIW, I recall a poster some time ago stated that Josh was a handful to work with. There may have been buyer's regret on Caitlin's part.
Maybe it's just time for her to move on
If Rockne was able to comeback twice, why not Caitlin?
I would hope she can but Rockne has had partners and competed. Caitlin really hasn't. She had a partner but they did not really ever get off the ground competing. She's been gone and not competed. It is different and sad
Her most recent partner didn't work out and they didn't compete for the season they were training together. With her previous partner she was National champion. Not sure how that qualifies as "really hasn't" competed or how it's that different from all the partners Rockne has been through. Every time Rockne loses a partner there is an outpouring of support here on FSU and blame is never assigned to him and I cant remember anyone ever suggesting he just pack it up... Yet for Caitlin, arguably the most talented American female pairs skater of the last 10 years, posters are quick to say "well, maybe it's just time to move on."
She's tall for a pair skater and she was never a very strong jumper.
I still vote for a Ben Okolski comeback. Then we could have another pairs team with rude Eastern Euro roots and long unpronounceable last names (Yankowskas/Okolski)
That ship has sailed.
Actually, a lot of people have blamed Rockne. Someone said that he was an *sshole in the last thread.
Oh, I know. He retired, they've been in the same place for 2 years now, and I don't even know if they're really suited to each other, but hey, I can dream, no?
I have a feeling we will be very surprised by her next partner. No, I don't have any idea who. It is just a feeling I have.
I was really looking forward to seeing them compete.
DO elaborate on your feeling. I have had a feeling about that too and was wondering if we are thinking along the same lines.
Rockny has always had a more realistic chance of being back on the elite competitive scene than Caitlin; He did do that and was quite successful with Mary Beth and now has another realistic shot with yet a new partner. Caitlin hasn't been anywhere close to being seriously back on the elite competitive scene since her partnership broke up. With the lack of talented male pair skaters to choose from, her chance of coming back get dimmer and dimmer as each season passes. A similar thing happened to Drew Meekins, and fans were posting the "time to move on" phrase when threads popped up about his status.
Wasn't Drew still looking, recently?


text: When I was looking into getting a full size 9mm it was definitely on the top of my list. Had a vary nice overall feel and weight, decent trigger, has a similar rotational lock up system like the px4, and the price point isn't bad at all. But when it came down to it... ended up getting another .45 It's still on the list though.

Cooking with bubbles
Hello everybody.
I'm having the food club visiting me soon. We give each other themes as a challenge, and lucky me got the theme, bubbles. I could use some help deciding the main course. For starters i'm thinking a pea soup with with champagne. For dessert I want to use some Pop Rocks drizzled over some icecream and berries.
Does anyone here have some great ideas for the main course? Comments for starters and dessert are also welcome.

Re: Cooking with bubbles
For a starter something bubbling hot.... (sorry couldn't resist).
Maybe for the soup or dessert consider something with a frothy top. Frothed milk is good on pea soup as well. A frothy sauce goes with a fish or meat main course as well.
I think I would use the champagne for a dessert (sorbet + champagne for example) or a froth sauce or poaching fish rather than in a pea soup.
Sorry that I don't have more ideas. Good luck!

Re: Cooking with bubbles
Maybe you could use tapioca somewhere?
Here is a recipe for a chilled fruit soup:
Strawberry and Orange Soup
1/2 cup of sago or tapioca (pinhead size).
Bring at least 6 cups of water to the boil and sprinkle in the sago.
Boil uncovered 7 minutes
Cover the pan, turn off the heat and leave for 10 minutes.
By this time the grains should be clear, run cold water into the pan, drain through a fine sieve and leave to cool.
800g strawberries (set a few aside for garnish)
with 6 tbsp sugar and 2 cups fresh orange juice
Stir in cooked sago and sliced reserved berries
Cover and chill so that the grains absorb the colour
ladle over a little crushed rice if the day is really hot.
I have a variation that has mixed berries and apple juice and I am sure you can think of others!
Or you could make lemon sago for dessert.
Maybe bring out bubble pipes just before dessert so guests can have fun?
If you have the iceblock makers that make spherical iceblocks, or something similar, you could make savoury jelly moulds in them, using gelatine or agar agar.
A salad made with cherry tomatoes, grapes, melon balls, spheres of soft cheese rolled in sumac, with small leafy greens among them. Name: bubble salad.
Minted peas: name it 'green bubble' side dish.

You are herecontent / "Downing Street memo" on Iraq met mostly with silence
"Downing Street memo" on Iraq met mostly with silence
Bush officials mum despite calls for answers on Brit report
By Josh Richman, STAFF WRITER, San Mateo County Times
It's been more than a month since The Times of London published a secret British government memo from mid-2002 describing the Bush administration's resolve to invade Iraq whether it posed a threat or not.
It's been about a month since 89 House Democrats � including six from the Bay Area � asked the president to explain himself in light of this memo.
And it's been almost three weeks since the White House press secretary said that isn't going to happen.
So now what?
The blogosphere still burns with items about what's often called the "Downing Street memo," named for the site of the British prime minister's home and office.
And House Judiciary Committee ranking Democrat John Conyers, D-Mich., who authored the House Democrats' letter, has put a version of that letter on his campaign Web site, www.johnconyers.com, so the public can add their "signatures" for submittal to the White House; about 89,000had signed by Wednesday.
Otherwise, there's nothing doing.
Apparently authored by a foreign-policy aide to Prime Minister Tony Blair, the Downing Street memo contains minutes from a July 23, 2002, meeting of high-ranking officials. Sir Richard Dearlove, head of the British secret intelligence service MI6, had recently met with CIA officials in Washington and was quoted as saying, "(m)ilitary action was now seen as inevitable."
"Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD (weapons of mass destruction)," the memo says. "But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy. The NSC (National Security Council) had no patience with the U.N. route, and no enthusiasm for publishing material on the Iraqi regime's record. There was little discussion in Washington of the aftermath after military action."
The memo also said Foreign Secretary Jack Straw indicated he would discuss the issue with U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell later that week. "It seemed clear that Bush had made up his mind to take military action, even if the timing was not yet decided. But the case was thin. Saddam was not threatening his neighbors, and his WMD capability was less than that of Libya, North Korea or Iran."
Blair's office told The Times the memo contained "nothing new." White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan more than two weeks later said claims that intelligence was fixed to justify the war are "flat-out wrong," adding he hadn't seen the "specific memo" but only reports of its content.
The lawmakers' May 5 letter to President Bush asked him to publicly state, among other things, whether his administration tried to manipulate intelligence and create an ultimatum to justify the war. Among those signing the letter were Barbara Lee, D-Oakland; Pete Stark, D-Fremont; George Miller, D-Martinez; Ellen Tauscher, D-Alamo; Lynn Woolsey, D-San Rafael; and Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose.
McClellan said on May 17 that the White House saw "no need" to respond to the Conyers letter. Stark said Thursday he's not surprised.
"If the President won't respond to the deaths of more than 1,600 U.S. troops and more than 20,000 Iraqi civilians, why would I expect him to respond to a memo?" he said. "America doesn't trust the president or his administration on Iraq, and when further evidence of their lies become public, it's just as expected as the discovery of another shady relationship between a lobbyist and (House Majority Leader) Tom DeLay."
Lee said Friday the memo "is strong evidence that the Bush administration not only manipulated intelligence data to justify the invasion of Iraq, but deliberately misled Congress and the American people about it while telling the truth to the British government.
"Given the gravity of the questions this memo raises, I think the Bush administration's silence speaks volumes. Our nation deserves answers."
Among those who didn't sign the Conyers letter were House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, and Rep. Tom Lantos, D-San Mateo, the House International Relations Committee's ranking Democrat.
Pelosi always has said the war lacked adequate justification, spokesman Brendan Daly said Thursday. "This (memo) basically told us what we already knew, it verified what we already knew."
As for the letter, Pelosi often supports efforts like this without actually signing on to them, Daly added. "She felt her position was already clear, so she didn't feel a need to sign it."
Lantos spokesman Lynne Weil said Friday that "the Conyers letter escaped notice (in Lantos' office) until after the deadline to sign it had gone by." She didn't comment on what Lantos � who supports the war in Iraq but has criticized President Bush's handling of it � thought of the Downing Street memo.
Critics complain U.S. news media have been mostly silent on the memo. Cursory searches this week turned up four stories about the memo at CNN.com, and one each on the Web sites of Fox News, the New York Times and the Washington Post.
"I think that the media is afraid to follow up on the very grave implications of this story because they have grown accustomed to being bullied by the Bush administration, and because the story implicates the media for giving the Bush administration a free ride in deliberately misleading the American people into an unnecessary and increasingly disastrous war," Lee said. "Sadly, the type of courageous, independent journalism that uncovered the Watergate scandal is nowhere to be found today."

Top Secret: Tell Everyone
Why Smith's all-women approach to leadership development outperforms Harvard's, Wharton's or Stanford's.
Ok, here's the top-secret question: How can Smith's all-women approach to business leadership education really make that much of a difference in how fast and how effectively your company can develop high-performing women executives?
Hi, I'm Iris Newalu, head of Smith College Executive Education for Women. I recently posed this question to 200 women executives and high-potentials who were either past participants in one of our women's leadership programs, or executive leadership decision makers who select participants. Guess what they said?
Warning: these answers may make you rethink your company's ideas about how to develop high-potential women executives
of respondents say Smith College Executive Education's unique understanding of the issues women face climbing the corporate ladder is one of its strongest advantages.
of respondents say that because Smith College Executive Education's leadership programs are delivered in an all-women learning environment, it is an important advantage to companies because it encourages increased risk-taking leading to accelerated and more productive learning.
of respondents say Smith College Executive Education's ability to design and deliver a robust, targeted curriculum based on the specific leadership needs identified directly by corporate learning officers makes it more responsive to business- critical industry imperatives than other education providers.
of respondents say that since Smith College Executive Education is not a business school, it's unique ability to bring together the very best team of faculty and outside experts from leading business schools and organizations around the world is a very meaningful advantage.
of respondents say that the team of faculty and outside experts Smith College Executive Education brought together for their program were thought leaders who have a very deep understanding of not just "best" practices, but the far more important NEXT practices that will be required for global business.
The No.1 thing participants and influencers would tell their CEOs…
When asked a slightly different question – "What uniquely distinguishes Smith College Executive Education in the marketplace from other top executive education providers?" – the No.1 thing participants and influencers said they would tell their CEOs about Smith is….
- Targeted to women in leadership
- Focused on advancing women leaders
- Focused on the unique needs and challenges faced by women in industry
- Focused on not just leadership, but women's leadership
I believe this is a critical insight: given the freedom of choice to say anything to their CEOs (the most important person in their company, right?) about what makes Smith's leadership programs unique and different, the number one answer was Smith's expert focus on not just leadership, but women's leadership.
The ONE additional critical element company executive decision makers said they value…
Not surprisingly, influencers (i.e., company decision makers who select program participants) also singled out ONE additional critical element they believe distinguishes Smith from other top executive education providers: applicability.
This is best expressed in a 5-part value equation that goes something like this:
Or, as one of your peers (from Johnson & Johnson) put it, "Smith gives us content and learning that can have an immediate impact on our business."
But how does Smith make you feel?
This is not meant to be a "soft" question. The fact is, your company chooses its learning partners for many different reasons. S ometimes for practical benefits (like above) and sometimes for deeply emotional benefits. After all, a partnership is ultimately about understanding each other, isn't it? When asked, "How do you feel when you engage with Smith College Executive Education," the emotional benefits identified by participants and influencers were as follows (in rank order):
Next, when asked the metaphorical question, "Which car brand do you think most closely resembles Smith College Executive Education?", participants and influencers chose BMW and Mercedes-Benz (representing qualities of "premium, status, and high performance"), followed by BMW's Mini-Cooper (representing qualities of "innovative and specialist"). "Quality" and "very dependable" followed closely behind as additional identifiable attributes and benefits.
The big insight here?
When companies work with Smith, executives feel deeply ENGAGED in learning – both right brain (creative) and left brain (analytical) – and they feel like they are being challenged by the level of the program and the people around them. Research shows that this engaging emotional connection translates to learning that sticks.
Back to that top–secret question…
So, back to the top-secret question: Does Smith Executive Education's all-women approach to leadership training for women executives really make such a measurable a difference?
According to you (well, people just like you), yes, yes it does.
Here are three compelling reasons why we think Smith offers a significant advantage over even premiere programs like Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, and, well just about any other top business school you can name. (NOTE: the following 3 reasons are based on our real-life experience with hundreds and hundreds of women executives, as wells as scientific research):
Reason #1 | Increased Risk-Taking
Problem: Most women executives experience isolation, especially in "male-oriented" leadership development programs. They feel "on their own" and without support. And thus less inclined to take risks. Yet research proves breakthrough learning only occurs when a person steps beyond everyday boundaries and take risks.
Advantage: Smith's all-woman setting systematically creates an environment of shared experiences, common issues, personal connection, candor and trust - which leads to increased risk-taking, and results in accelerated leadership development.
Reason #2 | Not Just Leadership, Women's Leadership
Problem: The curriculum of most "Top-10" leadership development programs is very good academically, but also very similar and often stubbornly narrow-minded when it comes to addressing the real barriers women face in male-oriented executive education classrooms.
Advantage: Smith Executive Education is not a business school, it is a Women's Leadership Center. Our programs focus on the challenges women leaders are actually facing as identified by the Fortune 500 companies we work with, our participants and the best thought leaders in women's leadership today. And since Smith is not a business school beholden to one set of faculty, we have the flexibility to handpick the best women's leadership experts from universities, corporations and consultancies. And, Smith's programs also help women reflect on all aspects of their lives. Our 360-degree approach to executive learning stresses the growth of authenticity, self-confidence, personal empowerment, reflection, balance and emotional intelligence in women leaders; the very qualities essential to great leadership.
Reason #3 | Exposure to Real Peers
Problem: Most networking opportunities for talented women executives are male-dominated and devoid of accomplished women leaders like themselves.
Advantage: Smith's all-women executive programs afford women the chance to network with their real peers (other women leaders and high-potentials) from different companies, countries and industries in ways usually reserved only for their male counterparts. Here's a fact: 90% of our attendees report that Smith's all-women learning environment enhanced their network and networking capabilities in surprisingly meaningful ways.
What should you do now with this new knowledge?
I am going to hazard a guess here: You must believe in the power of developing women leaders for your company, otherwise you would not still be reading this.
So, if you believe in the value of developing women leaders, why not start a conversation with Smith today? Just like forward-thinking learning and development officers from Johnson & Johnson, JPMorgan Chase, IBM and Accenture, as well as hundreds and hundreds of women executives from companies around the world already have.
Please, call me or email me directly. Or fill out our short Request Info form and I will email you information about how Smith can work with you to prepare strong, capable and strategic women to lead your company into the future.
Iris Newalu
Director, Smith Executive Education

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using diclofenac topical (Solaraze)?
While the risk of absorbing diclofenac topical into your bloodstream is low, an NSAID can cause life-threatening heart or circulation problems such as heart attack or stroke, especially if you use it long term.
This medicine may also cause serious effects on the stomach or intestines, including bleeding or perforation (forming of a hole). These conditions can be fatal and can occur without warning while you are using diclofenac topical, especially in older adults.
Do not use this medication if you have ever had asthma or a severe allergic reaction caused by aspirin, diclofenac (Cataflam, Voltaren), or another NSAID. Do not use diclofenac just before or after having heart bypass surgery (also called coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG).
To make sure you can safely use diclofenac topical, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
- a history of drug allergies;
- a history of heart attack, stroke, or blood clot;
- heart disease, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure;
- a history of stomach ulcer or bleeding;
- liver or kidney disease;
- a bleeding or blood clotting disorder; or
- asthma, or polyps in your nose.
This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. If you are pregnant, ask your doctor if it is safe for you to use diclofenac topical. Tell your doctor if you become pregnant during treatment.
Diclofenac topical can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while using diclofenac topical.
How should I use diclofenac topical (Solaraze)?
Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. When treating osteoarthritis, keep using any oral medications your doctor has prescribed.
Do not use diclofenac topical on an open skin wound, or on areas of eczema, infection, skin rash, or burn injury. Do not cover the treated skin with a bandage or expose it to heat from a hot tub, heating pad, sauna, or heated water bed. Heat or bandaging can increase the amount of drug you absorb through your skin and may cause harmful effects.
Wash your hands after applying this medication, unless you are treating the skin on your hands. Do not wear gloves for at least 10 minutes after applying diclofenac topical to the hands.
After you apply diclofenac topical gel, wait at least 10 minutes before dressing and at least 1 hour before you bathe or shower.
To treat actinic keratosis (with Solaraze): Apply enough gel to cover each lesion and rub in gently. Do not apply Solaraze gel more than 2 times daily and never use more than your prescribed dose.
To treat osteoarthritis knee pain (with Pennsaid): Apply the solution only to clean, dry skin. Place 10 drops at a time into your hand and spread the solution over the front, back, and sides of the knee. Apply a total of 40 drops to each affected knee, 4 times per day. You may also drop the medicine directly onto the knee, spreading after every 10 drops.
Wait until the solution is completely dry before covering treated skin with clothing or applying any other skin products, including sunscreen.
To treat osteoarthritis pain (with Voltaren Topical): This medicine is supplied with dosing cards that show you how much gel to use for a 2-gram dose or a 4-gram dose. Squeeze the gel onto this card along the line for your dose. Use no more gel than will fit on the length of your dosing line. Wipe the card directly onto the treatment area and rub gently into the skin.
To treat arthritis pain in the foot, spread the gel out onto all areas of the foot including the toes and soles. When treating the hand, spread the gel out onto all areas of the hand including the fingers and palms.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not freeze.

Knebworth 1: The sound quality
The day had been great, a bunch of us had travelled down from the Midlands. As 'zero hour' approached I made my way to get closer to the stage, although we had not set up camp that far away in the first place. I soon found a spot with some guys from the USA, who seemed well up for it and some Punk Rockers from London who looked completely out of place, but seeing as I was playing bass in a punk band at that time it was no great surprise, to me at least, that they were there: they obviously had great taste and a sense of history: this was the 'first' LZ re-union gig on British soil.
As the set started the most abiding impression on me was that somebody had just tuned an additional PA system on: not only was the volume notably louder, but the clarity was amazing.
The Musical High-spots were the transition into Kashmir from the Dane-electro solo, because it was flawless in its intensity and power, and Achilles Last Stand, because it was my favourite Zep track at that time.
However, my most personal 'memory' was that as Robert Plant made his intros: my impression was that not only was he initially more than a bit nervous, which was frankly surprising, but it became evident as the night went on that the band were getting off on us, the audience. as much as we were getting off on them. I have been to more gigs than I can remember, but at few of them have I felt such a connection between band and audience, and none on such a scale. How much of this was down to the nature of the gig, the vibe, or the strange drink that my new friends from the capital were handing around, I do not know.
What I do know is that this was a special night for all of us who were there. I had work committments and could not stay down for the second gig. Then, I later missed a show in Munich because the guys I was travelling with were not interested in the band and I, wrongly as it turned out, thought that there would be other opportunities to see the band. The only tickets available were to the rear of the stage and I thought there would probably not be much to see!
God, was I thick, or what?
I am sad that I will not be at the Dome in December, but hope that this time around there will be other nights: that this will not be a one-off show and more will follow; preferably in the north of England. But above all, to those of you who will be there, enjoy what I am sure will be an amazing night's entertainment. You will be taking part in a piece of musical history!

One of the most photographed stretches of sand in the world, Waikiki Beach's sherbet sunsets and gentle swells provide the perfect setting for a tropical snapshot. But it's not until you've flip-flopped your way between Kapi'olani Park and Hilton Hawaiian Village or lingered on a longboard with Diamond Head in the distance that you can truly understand why this two-mile beach is such a celebrated destination.

Last week online reports indicated that FOX Sports Media Group had told the Ultimate Fighting Championship's parent company that gun-related sponsorships would no longer be permitted for their events.

Augustana College will host a free program examining consequences of the national debt in a public forum on the school's Sioux Falls campus.
The event begins at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Morrison Commons Back Alley. Sara Imhof of the Concord Coalition will show a movie, "I.O.U.S.A." A discussion will look at U.S. debt, the federal budget, entitlements and other issues.
Professor Bob Wright, the Nef family chair of political economy at the school, invited the coalition, a nonpartisan agency. The Commons is near the intersection of Grange and 30th Street.

A 6-year-old boy was struck by a vehicle while trying to ride his bicycle across an intersection in Esparto on Saturday night, but escaped with only minor scrapes, according to the California Highway Patrol.
According to the CHP, the accident occurred at 10:30 p.m. on Hwy. 16 at Madison Street in downtown Esparto.
The CHP reported Romel T. Naluz, 43, of Sn Francisco was driving a 2001 Kia Sorento on westbound Hwy. 16, approaching the intersection with Madison Street, and didn't see the 6-year-old child, who was trying to ride his bike across the intersection in the crosswalk.
As a result the left front of the Kia collided with the youth.
The traffic collision caused minor damage to the car and bicycle, but the youth had only minor scrapes. He was taken to Kaiser Hospital in Vacaville for minor scraps.

Can you provide any examples of your claim that TC had a bad relationship with Osi. Like you, I am a big fan of his, and I have never once heard of any issues between them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPOZ8haVl50. 2nd play in the video, they run to Osi's side, he takes a horrible angle inside and is taken out of the play by a chip block from the FB who releases and blocks someone else while Osi is trying to chase the play down from behind(typical of his play this year). On the Alfred Morris fumble, they ran to his side as well where Osi lost contain. I really would like you to look at the play at 2:32 where Osi is left unblocked, he manages to make it to the backfield untouched then freezes up as the play develops contributing nothing. Thats 3 plays in a 4 minute clip where Osi's terrible run stopping defensive ability can be seen, and this was the first video I looked at to support my argument, and there is a lot more out there.
why? He won't contribute much to the team and his salary will be far greater than we can afford. I'd rather go with JPP, Tuck, Kiwi, Ojomo, Tracey and a drafted kid

Australia's hottest women
10:24 AM Thursday Oct 18, 2012
Miranda Kerr has been crowed the hottest woman Down Under by men's mag Maxim. The 29-year-old supermodel landed the top spot on the Australia Hot 100 List ahead of Jennifer Hawkins at number two and Delta Goodrem who was third. "This list proves two things: Australian men can't get enough of the stunning Ms Kerr and Orlando Bloom is still one extremely lucky bastard," Maxim editor-in-chief Santi Pintado said. After beginning in the US edition of Maxim in 2000, the Hot 100 now features in 20 international versions on the magazine.

LOVERS IN THE PARK M.J. Daly and Amos Hamrick in Dream.
Summer means Shakespeare performed outside.
Mixed Magic Theatre has taken this tradition seriously, and this marks the company's tenth year of producing works by the Bard in parks and waterside settings from Wickford to Pawtucket.
This time around, the troupe is presenting A Midsummer Night's Dream in the park beside the Towers in Narragansett on August 17 and 18, and on the lawn at Blithewold Mansion in Bristol on August 25 and 26 (all at 7:30 pm).
For Mixed Magic's new artistic director Jonathan Pitts-Wiley, who grew up performing in his parents' (Ricardo and Bernadet Pitts-Wiley) productions, Shakespeare has a certain allure in the outdoors.
"There are certain plays, especially Shakespeare's comedies, that play great outside," Pitts-Wiley says. "I think the language and the atmosphere are the essential and best parts of what theater is about, which is a community spirit.
"People getting together and playing make-believe, after a hard day's work — it doesn't have to go past that," he continues. "Just enjoy the language and people having a good time."
He mentions kids on bicycles, dog-walkers, or parents pushing strollers who recently happened upon Mixed Magic's free outdoor shows in Pawtucket and stopped, taken in by the colorful costumes or the actors' antics.
"The whole experience becomes bigger than the play," Pitts-Wiley says. "It's an escape, an opportunity to be entertained but also engaged. Even if you're not versed in Shakespeare, there are lots of comic moments that just look funny. How can you not laugh at the fights between the lovers in Midsummer?"
Introducing non-theatergoers to theater is one of Pitts-Wiley's main objectives for Mixed Magic: "If we want to get our message out, it's about the people we don't know — we are best measured by them."
And as he reaches out to raise the profile of this small Pawtucket-based theater, Pitts-Wiley is intent on "telling American stories that involve the whole fabric of society and the elements therein." To that end, Mixed Magic's first fall production will be a show by Asa Merritt titled Art of Attack, about two Russian brothers trying to reconcile over a game of chess.
"If America is what we say it is," Pitts-Wiley says, "then we really need to change the discourse and acknowledge that there are a lot of stories out there that need to be told in a multi-ethnic way, in which race or ethnicity is relevant to character.
"There are times when we do do black stories, and we are a company run by black people," he adds, "but we are not the new Black Rep. We're not necessarily existing in the same space. We want to tell the stories of the people out in the seats. If you don't see anyone who looks like you in a performance, you feel left out."
Pitts-Wiley encourages audience members for the Midsummer performances to "bring a lawn chair, a picnic, a bottle of wine" and, if the mood strikes, to dress in line with the Caribbean set and costumes of this particular Shakespeare production.
Outdoor theater, after all, is about more than what's happening on stage.
