Jason La Canfora joined the program to discuss the weekends NFL draft. He told the guys that the biggest reach was EJ Manuel in the first round and accurately predicted the cut of Tim Tebow minutes before it happened.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
The draft has -- -- the analysis of the grating India poking and prodding and the yeah rookie camps and all that sort of stuff. Are joining us on the AT&T hotline AT&T forgy LT EC BS and a -- insider Jason welcome for the morning Jason you don't -- it. Are your hurry we're 215 hey -- -- as a place the kick this thing off what what's your view from 30000 feet of this this NFL draft your take away from what -- watched over the weekend. A surprise for the first that I can remember quarterback where route are pushed up the board he could buy. An overwhelming need or -- out cheap they are or by external pressures that you like everywhere rather the ball float belt. I've had the same read all the -- at the and electing all -- And make it really affect -- higher regions of the draft but what you are still players out there. And reaching for guys we will have to see the -- weather out liars the American we'll see how that works out or. You know I don't know that I never considers that we -- got a look of a football player you're barriers that are behavior at a level. A lot of technical and that they'll go to any these players. But today it got need Emanuel weighed on the road out of the sixteenth overall pick I certainly hope we did you have with the Atlanta. 31 or to act in a late first daughter -- -- around. If they want to pretty -- in -- whatever they were picking -- -- earlier I think all of that it has it's fairly likely it will see dictators to develop a. Where did you have EJ Manuel on your board Jason. Go somewhere that an exit -- -- -- I thought it would have been a little while the socket like I picked up the one really got started on the pop the third. But era under there were you don't like them that would value in the air and -- that was probably elect -- you know maybe somewhere. Between. -- the two you know 65. Maybe a little art art -- and know what those that you were to Jupiter over and it. This shirt he couldn't pull out certain trade in the -- girl picks the couple got the ball or are -- it. Richard Cole spoke with say but I was one of those who audit the idea right now we're going to be their CommVault. Two you know the coach after the -- other churches. I can geno Smith then and ended the rest of the the jets' draft prevent wrecks from being the first coach fired this year. It's certainly true that. You know I Obama that well I actually like a lot of it was they've -- but the reality it. Because as some. You know financial issues there that work -- it's a girl industry that was that little ball straight that was -- Arctic shares in the little loser for certain -- that after the 4013. So it's not that the -- -- Tea Party could well we get. You know first and third order under the circumstances -- really -- -- but being at play. I like put it in the trap for the most part. I like -- her side very. But they they do have a -- all that there -- they've got a lot of issues there that that try to overcome. And we'll see what outplayed -- -- position but you know I'm sure you know that will be. Probably underserved by Thanksgiving at -- later. I'm to say how do you see the six quarterback system playing out who -- who I. Opted to go elect opens it at the pay into content but they are -- is there a trade value for -- -- -- uncle AD. Is it looks like someone who could be at number three quarterback. David Clarke. OT -- -- that guard goes down in the sort of at the the deal with it and you cut equal value. Shape at all I mean what state is at -- And as you know get an update for that starting out above all probably be air act that whether -- at nine million dollars the and then Mac or -- that that I imagine that might -- If you -- it you feel like a Miami is clearly the second best team in this division and are they gaining on the patriots two days. -- second that he's got to go to that we're all like actually affected me that the still law. I don't know that they're gonna bank for the pop kind of -- -- they are blocked it but it does that make it look what you're Wear their clothes. I think they're they are hectic at the end of 88. Charlotte departure because there is set you know we all but. That is the dollar because repeated act now. They'll park aren't they ultimately -- the medics at quarter have been replaced Jake Long due to capital. That's the running game due to secondary. That go all out. -- we have to play some quarterbacks that are our. In the -- actually I just don't know that that order. You know when better than last year may be similar in the -- a lot while another -- development. By -- that your -- are much better team in order spent some money. And they -- to the roster. And -- -- -- your pocket outlook art and I think -- appear very at all he's going to be the steep losses and other than that you could trigger or. With every other major fire or see about that a -- And -- that -- Impressed or unimpressed with what the patriots did to themselves. -- -- Thank you stressed that mean that they're gonna do what they do a little but -- -- a lot of times it works apparently thought that it but he bank for -- I'm not that the -- amount for all these Q and form other at persistently. It. What they did so that think the pictures to repeat event that help them become the -- that they are under that weren't at their 29 -- drop off spot or if they're great trait they're not a lot. Amid a -- I think a lot cheaper oil equivalent on the first term anyway based on some result field and then it sort of attitude you'll. He also. -- it's typical that regard their. All workers say the mere fact that not only -- out of electorate that was definitely -- -- -- -- -- -- The -- saying that it may -- other people do. -- Critical that we can Bobo and and Nolan goes and pick out the what are comic book or Arctic could not -- -- that -- -- -- that would go through default player. It's for the future then the party -- that it's routine. Record actually of a global. You're suspect like Gharib block will be useful. Don't you think he would remedy to the certainly motivated. Though he's you'll. Prove contract he turned to get back to the opportunity in the former it was a thousand yard rusher and look for a guy who beat up inside -- and it's in our yards. But -- given where it is now -- his career over the Eric he's expecting that you know you're really happy to check it out at the where. For each other the very -- and you know what I you know it's pretty good practice at Gloucester and -- game -- you put. Federal these are your future back there and -- that. I we saw all the the rookies start last year all the rookie quarterbacks. To any of these guys start to as geno Smith start for the jets does business. You Emanuel Matt Barkley you don't start in Philly region Emanuel in buffalo. You know it's it's certainly possible. You know look at look at -- they're competing against as a whole lot -- -- loses -- well all year through return attract them. Impossible to make they take it manual that I. The prologue time though that you're not like. They're still out of the pack are so we're not there let's -- They had summary of that it will get a full watt hours. -- for the bigger guy at least -- for a couple years. I think credit helped wipe out Al culpable that you recover what -- thanks yeah I mean we look I don't mean to your doctorate marked -- trouble. Issued -- an -- and their people that are tracked by you know. Yeah particular predictable they don't -- turn around. They -- your match with Marty Morgan Morgan and in the coaching staff with it yet but again I don't think that because the fact he hasn't helped out and I both think the gonna pay. You know will be part of -- sooner rather than later I mean Barkley I. I feel -- that it out of there right away -- him what a bit. Not all -- little -- nothing that either. All what they'll let here and you know the reason that far we've followed and I -- -- a little bit because. I -- he's really good fit for the bigger and -- -- the bigger in the elements go away. You know that the way to think well our -- -- the -- that extra thing you know they are -- a quote from there can be there Alibaba. Be a little bit of -- (%expletive) but obviously should help you -- they'll they'll solve what followed that that he gave each seem to trample on it. -- -- -- All. I'm aware that all of our -- cartridge itself you know a lot better idea of (%expletive) what you want to run it appropriate and anyone else. I -- -- won't be any internal external pressure to get bought for on the field where. Jason is it fair to say in this league if you miss on your quarterback -- -- coming out of you miss in this league you're pretty much done. -- Yeah I mean I think that the you know. A couple good habit -- they're great actually big dog apparently it was a big thing I pay isn't great you know it'll be in trouble well. People can't get that I think is about and every year but our effort -- the we're back built by. It will take anymore. At you know at least it's in big props for scooter rather rare I think that are you really opened the amount developers -- -- -- -- -- -- You think it hurt your regular area. The crowd on the third where we don't need a quarterback were saying an old guy up ought to Marty who is in any good and he's young and it may be helping you know. Awful Wilson Betemit popular out in the -- how output ever -- the -- that. It's -- World -- football -- the ball. And we can't darker color would I look at -- -- Arafat married or whatever. I think that that continue to be a growing tremendously. I'll put it -- -- Smart that they didn't. But -- -- thought it -- got a little poetic crappy 23 you know southern. That they let I'd call them a little bit double partner but third or fourth. He -- CBS NFL insider Jason -- -- and I appreciate the time I was a good tension happily talked you down the road. Artery. Jason -- Dennis and Callahan on the AT&T AT&T four GLT east Telecom major awards announced -- Aaron Dobson will talk to -- -- draft choices at 9 o'clock hour isn't it. On the one thing you went to the page is draft is for once you see in sort of makes sense you know on the tight ends and -- that I didn't draft from whatever quarterback. You look and say oh good they need one of those needing to pass rusher at safety and that's affected the need an X receiver. Is it just they drafted for need. And it just makes sense I mean you don't know how good the going to be nobody does Jason like -- Ford doesn't know when. Charlie Ashley doesn't know and and in all these Mike Mayo -- they really don't know but. At least the draft for need and they made and and we all agree that trade. Trading on the first round. Which -- meant well I mean it seem like they got a lot and that he really needed defensive end linebacker hybrid type like me to clinch with -- -- Jimmy Collins. Absolutely. Pass rusher oddly the Astros are more run stopper I think I think he's got a -- he can do all according to. According to Greg Bedard he breaks down watched film on him and says so you know we can do an iconic images of pass rusher now. But he says. He was slightly. Bedard says Collins will slide in to be the -- slash competition. In -- of -- left and taking Jermaine Cunningham spot. Com in college you played almost the exact same position and that Ninkovich played the last two years on the edge either standing up with it. And on the ground. He could struggle holding an edge against the run. But it is most immediate impact will be as a pass rusher he has a great burst but it comes ago. Maybe that's why he slipped because he certainly seems to fit the mold of being what they need what they -- I mean I don't think can have -- -- pass -- in the another one or two. I mean that makes everybody's job easier mixture weak secondary. Better. That they needed that and they need to receiver and they got him they needed X receiver and they and they got the guy when you read about Tuesday sounds like. A good invincible yeah Aron Ralston's remarkable talked him in the 9 o'clock hour your phone calls next indians'.

Mammogram safe after radiation?
Ask-the-Expert Online Conference
- Question from Nikki: I am concerned about having another mammogram after having had radiation treatment. Isn't this just radiating a breast that has already been heavily radiated? Would sonogram alone be enough for follow-up?
- Answers - Beth Baughman DuPree, M.D., F.A.C.S. Ultrasound or sonography is not a modality that is used for breast cancer screening. It is used as a diagnostic tool when an abnormality is found on either mammogram or clinical exam. The dosage of radiation exposure from a digital mammography is so small that the benefit of early detection of future cancers far outweighs any potential risk of additional radiation therapy. The dosage of radiation is not one that is used for treatment such as radiation therapy.
This Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Risk Reduction featured Beth Baughman DuPree, M.D., F.A.C.S. and Lynn Hartmann answering your questions about breast cancer risk factors and ways to lower your risk.

What I Do
Christy McGill, Art Teacher - Divide Elementary School, Lookout, WV.
Thank you, Randi, for that great introduction, and thank you all for inviting me here as a warm-up act for Bill Gates.
I bring the greetings of the 11.5 million members of the AFL-CIO. And I also bring our gratitude for all you do to lead our movement and build the living standards we so desperately need in the 21st century economy.
In the midst of an economic crisis, large-scale layoffs, and funding crises in our public schools, our colleges and universities, our health care system and our state and local governments, the AFT has grown to 1.5 million members.
You're not only helping classroom teachers organize. You're also enabling the organizing of college faculty, school aides, healthcare professionals, state employees, and early childhood educators.
You are proving that people in what the economists call "non-standard employment arrangements" -- temporary and part-time employees -- should not have to settle for substandard wages and benefits and that higher ed should not mean "higher abuse." By bringing the benefits of unionism to the new frontiers of the knowledge economy, you are giving the entire labor movement a glimpse of our future. And we thank you for it.
You are doing a great job under great leadership.
Your president, Randi Weingarten, reminds me of the toughest, smartest, and most caring teachers I ever had.
You know, I've even seen her "school" our friends in the Obama Administration.
As you know, I'm a strong supporter of President Obama. When he speaks, I frequently feel like standing up and cheering.
But on the morning of March 1st, he said something that left us all upset, to put it mildly. He used the mass firings of teachers in Central Falls, Rhode Island, as an example of what should be done in the schools when all else fails.
On that same day, Randi and I were in Orlando, Florida, for a meeting of the AFL-CIO executive council. That afternoon, Vice President Biden came to talk to us.
Now, usually at these meetings we try to be respectful. But on that afternoon, Randi -- understandably -- wasn't feeling too deferential.
As you know, the toughest thing to do as a leader is to tell your friends when they're wrong. Joe Biden is a friend to this union and the entire labor movement.
But Randi stood up and told our nation's Vice President that the Administration was wrong. Wrong to celebrate what happened at Central Falls. And even more wrong to hold up the mass firings as a panacea for our public schools.
She was powerfully articulate, but I'm not going to lie. She got a little heated. The Secret Service guys started to look a little jumpy when Randi put her finger to the veep's chest to emphasize her point.
But you know what happened after that exchange? The conversation changed.
Instead of Central Falls being a bold action to be celebrated, political leaders from Rhode Island to Washington, D.C., started seeing it as a problem to be solved. And, with your help, it got solved.
When it comes to great leaders, the AFT goes to the head of the class. I want to acknowledge your Secretary-Treasurer, Toni Cortese, your Executive Vice President, Loretta Johnson, and your retired president and secretary-treasurer, Ed McElroy and Nat LaCour, who are here with us today.
And I'll never forget two other great leaders who are here with us in spirit – Sandy Feldman, and the towering Al Shanker, who always said – as Randi reminded you this week – "you can't beat something with nothing."
In that spirit, the AFT stands tall because it stands for something. You stand for excellence, equality, and quality, in public education and public services of all kinds. When there are problems, you don't just complain, you offer up your expertise to solve them. You stand for a strong and growing labor movement that includes workers from every industry and occupation. You stand for building strength by making common cause with allies and entire communities. And you stand for the simple but powerful idea that the aspirations of professionals in public service are inextricably linked with the well-being of the working families whom you serve.
The themes of this convention -- unions reaching out to the community and serving as agents of change -- couldn't be more timely or more deeply rooted in your history and your heritage.
Our economy is in crisis. Working Americans are concerned about keeping their jobs, their paychecks, and their retirement security. The institutions where AFT members work -- our public schools, our colleges and universities, our hospitals, our preschools, and our public agencies -- are more essential than ever.
But our public schools, our public services, and public employees of all kinds are also endangered. In fact, you're up against a triple whammy: With the severe recession and soaring unemployment, tax revenues are taking a dive, and state and local governments and school districts are facing fiscal crises.
As always, when hard times hit, the demands on our public schools and our public services are actually increasing. You see it all first-hand: More kids who need subsidized school lunches. More patients in the emergency rooms. And longer lines for unemployment insurance and public assistance.
But because Americans are so anxious and angry -- and rightly so -- there is a growing danger that they will shortchange public services and scapegoat public employees. That is one more reason why we have to provide the real reasons why America got into this mess -- and a roadmap for how to get out of it.
As you know so well, George Bush left us the worst economy since the Great Depression. He gave away trillions in tax breaks to the wealthy. He let Wall Street and the Big Banks run wild. He inherited a rare federal budget surplus and he gave us record federal deficits.
Since the recession started in 2007, we have a 10.5 million jobs hole. And even those who are fortunate enough to be working are living in fear of pink slips and givebacks, hollowed-out health care, foreclosures and pension freezes.
The Pew Research Center recently reported what we know from our families and friends, neighbors and coworkers. More than half of all Americans have been hit -- and hit hard -- by this recession. Too many have lost their jobs. Some have had their pay or hours cut back. And others have had to take part-time or temporary jobs because full-time and permanent jobs just weren't available.
Last Friday, we learned that the private sector's job-creating machine is sputtering to a halt. The creation of 83,000 jobs by the private sector last month is better than losing 700,000 jobs every month, as we were doing when Bush left office. But it is not enough -- not nearly enough -- to put America back to work.
We need a jobs bill with a scale and scope as serious as the crises we face.
We absolutely must provide emergency assistance to hard-pressed states, cities, and school districts.
We've got to head-off the layoffs of teachers, school aides, college faculty, police officers, firefighters, and other public service employees. We need "pink hearts, not pink slips," – as your pins say. I'm proud to wear one. I wish that every member of Congress would wear one, and, even more importantly, would take that message to heart.
We've got to extend unemployment benefits to those who are looking for work in the worst economy in 70 years. We've got to extend COBRA benefits and provide Medicaid assistance to the states. And we've got to fund local infrastructure projects and invest in the brilliant new technologies of the future -- from biotechnology to alternative energy sources -- so that science and math teachers can tell their students to study hard, aim high, and build their futures in their classrooms, libraries, and laboratories.
Now, every time that we try to dig ourselves out of the 10.5 million jobs hole someone says, "What about the deficit?"
This is not to say that the federal budget doesn't deserve attention. It does, but over the long-term.
Right now, we have a jobs crisis that must be addressed immediately. And, unless we do it soon, we will only make the nation's economic crisis worse, depress federal revenues, and deepen the deficit for decades to come. And, if we fail to invest in education, we will saddle future generations with deficits that they will never be able to dig their way out of a skills deficit, a technology deficit, and an economic competitiveness deficit.
When it comes to passing a jobs bill, we have heard excuses that sound like kids telling their teachers that their dogs ate their homework. On the heels of an economic catastrophe that was created on Wall Street, we have even heard some members of Congress proposing to cut workers' unemployment benefits by $25 a week, while at the same time protecting wealthy investment managers from being taxed at the same rate as working people.
I don't know about you. But, if I were grading the members of Congress who haven't turned in a jobs bill, I would give them an incomplete for failing to turn in their most important assignment and a truancy notice for heading home for the July 4th recess without fulfilling their responsibilities. And, if anyone tries to tell you that we should cut unemployment compensation and wipe out public services in the midst of a recession, I would give them an F in history, an F in economics, and an F in civics.
In the elections this November, you can give your elected officials and every candidate the report cards they deserve. If any member of the House or Senate -- from either party -- really wants to see teachers lose their jobs, kids lose their teachers, and families lose their health insurance, then they had better believe that we will remember in November and send them back to the public sector that they claim to love so much.
When public officials don't provide solutions, they try to pick on scapegoats. It's bad enough that public employees are being made the fall guys for the economic crisis. But now politicians and pundits are trying to present public employees as fat cats.
The Governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels, used to serve as George W. Bush's budget director, which must be one rung above captaining the Titanic. He recently called public employees "the new privileged class in America." The Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, is making the TV talk show circuit, bragging about balancing the budget on the backs of the public school teachers. And the publisher of US News and World Report, the real estate magnate Mort Zuckerman, has condemned what he calls "the new privileged class in America." And, believe it or not, it's you.
As public school teachers, you have always had to cope with every social and economic problem in our communities. And now you're being blamed for them. When kids come to school from fractured homes, when they don't have Internet access or dictionaries and encyclopedias at home, when they're distracted by hunger and health problems, you have to help them make up lost ground. And now, with the economic crisis millions more kids are being hobbled by hardships beyond their or your control.
Yes, we must pursue excellence in education. But we cannot win what our Education Secretary calls "the race to the top" when our economy is continuing its race to the bottom.
We need to revive our economy. We need to restore our middle class. And, to accomplish those missions, we need to rebuild our labor movement.
In the AFT, you have always understood that the challenges of low-income families end up in your classrooms, that the struggles of cleaning workers and clothing workers are your struggles, and that the best way to build what your founders called "education for democracy" is to build a stronger labor movement.
That is why the AFT and the AFL-CIO support the Employee Free Choice Act, and we will keep fighting until every worker who wants a union can have a union. We understand that we are all in this together -- whether we work in the private sector or the public sector and whatever our background or walk of life. That lesson of American community -- and our common destiny -- is what you teach in your schools and practice in this union.
I was reminded of those lessons last month when I spoke at the graduation ceremony at my high school. It's in the coal country of Pennsylvania. It's called Carmichaels Area Senior High School. And we called ourselves – and please don't laugh now – "the Mighty Mikes."
Many of our moms and dads worked in coal mines, construction sites or clothing factories.
Many of our grandparents were immigrants from Eastern or Southern Europe.
Most of us figured we'd follow our parents to jobs where we'd be paid by the hour.
Our teachers taught us to respect ourselves, to enrich our lives with the love of learning, and – for some of us – to follow our dreams beyond the world we knew. And we learned the lesson, still not always put into practice, that Americans do better when we stand together and answer the challenges of our times.
When this convention is over, and you return to your responsibilities back home, I ask you to reach out to all the working people in your communities and build a movement that can change this country forever and for the better.
Tell your friends and your fellow workers: If you want to build better lives for yourselves and a better chance for your children, stand together.
If you want Americans to have world-class skills so that we can create and preserve middle class jobs, stand together.
If you believe that America must invest in education and the environment, training and technology, health care and homeownership, stand together.
If you believe that when someone calls 9-1-1, they should get a cop, a firefighter or a healthcare worker -- not Halliburton, stand together.
If you believe that Wall Street got us into this mess and must pay its fair share to get us out, stand together.
If you believe that quality public schools are our solemn responsibility to our children and grandchildren and that Social Security and Medicare are our moral responsibility to our parents and grandparents, stand together.
Work together. March together. Stand together. And no one – no one – can stand in our way.
Thank you for everything that AFT is doing and for the inspirational and educational experience of being here with you today.

text: Black shoes and khakis are normally a no no for me, but I think the black suede Wallabee boots (with the natural unpainted crepe sole) and a pair of sand khakis looks alright. Thoughts? Should I just stick to wearing my khakis with brown shoes? I've been wearing a pair of AE Amoks with khakis that I quite like, but the Wallabee is a lot more comfortable for some days.

The Lady, directed by Luc Besson, is the extraordinary story of the Burmese activist Aung San Suu Kyi that opened this week in New York theaters. The film emphasizes the many characters one woman can play: a prisoner of war, a politician, a mother, a lover and a democratic hero. Womanliness is something that Suu Kyi lacks none of -- with orchids in her hair, pearl earrings and consistently dressed in floor length skirts, she embodies the quintessential composed woman. The severely oppressed Burmese people were drawn to the idea of a tangible figure that symbolized hope; they wanted a figure that in and of themselves embodied peace and confidence for a future democratic society. Suu Kyi offered just that.
Despite the "movie version" of Burma's oppression, the conversation on Suu Kyi and the role of woman in politics is more relevant than ever. With an identifiable gender gap in the upcoming election and a current discourse on the role of women in the workplace (also known as the Ann Romney vs. Hilary Rosen stay-at-home mommy wars) Suu Kyi can shed light on the particularly unique power a woman withholds in the workplace.
The Lady takes the typical notion that a woman is the sole means of comfort for her children and reverses it. Not only is Suu Kyi absent when needed by her family, but her absence is indirectly inflicting much pain on her growing boys and sick husband. And so the question arises, how exactly do women maintain their inherent "womanly" roles while also breaking grounds for, say, a Democratic revolution in one of the world's most oppressed countries? The answer is they don't. And this can be a lesson learned on women's roles in contemporary society -- they cannot and will not always be there for everybody and everything all at once. So women have to make the deeply personal choice of where to take their careers, and while many women work by choice or for love of the job, many more work to support their families. In the end, all us fellow women can do is empathize with one another's choices. We need to support one another with the knowledge that working while being a mom (or just being a mom) are some of the most difficult jobs of them all.
Rather than judge women who have made the personal choice to stay at home, why not offer support for the women like Suu Kyi who are confronted with many obligations? It is a mere waste of time to pinhole a stay-at-home mom into a person that cannot relate to those who are less fortunate?
I am the perfect example of why that is simply not fair, nor correct. My father, Sam LeFrak, was fortunate enough to build many large developments in New York. Rather than doing what some envision the wealthy to do, I founded the company Same Sky, whose sole purpose is to help those who have suffered the most. I travel to Rwanda to find those women who are HIV positive, many of whom were raped during the 1994 genocide; we then employ many of them to make jewelry for a trade-not-aide initiative. According to the comments of Hilary Rosen, under my privileged circumstances, I would not be able to identify with these women who have suffered the most unspeakable of genocides. But it is empathy that brought me to where I am now. It is empathy that has led me to be the founder of a cause for women empowering women. And it was empathy for the Burmese people that led Suu Kyi to forfeit her family and personal happiness for a democratic revolution.
Celebrate the power of women supporting one another by going to see Suu Kyi's story in the fantastic new film The Lady. Be sure to bring your husbands. I'm sure they'll enjoy it just as much as mine did.

This was REALLY yummy! We invited some guest over and I made it for the first time, kind of risky. But they gobbled it right up. I made a lovely salad to go with it and you couldn't ask for a better plant based dinner. Definitely will make again. Beware that this recipe makes a LOT.

Standing between me and the last hundred pages of All The King's Men
by Ben Schrank
I started All The King's Men in early spring—I picked up a used copy in the sale bin outside of a public library in Memphis. I paid a quarter for it and read it on the plane back to New York. I don't know why I didn't read it when I was twenty. I just loved it, but I'm sorry I didn't read it when I was younger and more full of rage. I've been savoring it ever since. But at the same time, I've allowed myself to be waylaid by lots of other fiction.
Claire Messud's The Woman Upstairs is the novel I finished last week, after the Mad Men finale. I'd never read her before except for a half hour I spent paging through most of The Emperor's Children while standing in 192 Books on 10th Avenue in Chelsea on a Saturday afternoon, to get the general idea, a general idea I didn't much like, but at least I'd found a good place to engage with the material. But I discarded any prior feelings for Messud in favor of a predisposition to love this novel because I'd heard some readers had trouble with Nora Marie Eldridge. Not me. I like a character who is not afraid to say that she hates. Sirena Shahid, the artist who Nora befriends, reminded me a little of Sarah Sze, an installation artist who was once my co-captain on a softball team at camp Killooleet in Vermont. But Sirena is likely more difficult and more messy than Sarah Sze. I understood why Nora would fall in love with Sirena and her husband and son. I believed in her anger, dreaded her inevitable betrayal, respected her obsession. I wish there were characters like Nora in more novels. I suppose sometime this summer I'll go back to Barbara Pym's novels, where there are plenty of them.
I also read Tampa by Alissa Nutting standing up in my office, faced toward a window, breathless. It's a graphic sexual story of a young teacher called Celeste who has sex with students. I liked spending time with Celeste. She's not nice or pleasant but it's fun to see how she goes about getting her pleasure. I wish there were more novels like that. I've heard that Alissa Nutting is quite well spoken about her novel—though I don't think she needs to be. It's a great title, too.
I'm halfway through Amy Waldman's The Submission. The novel feels like what I wish New York Magazine articles were, a deep dive into New York as a poor performing moral and global compass. The only thing that'll keep me from getting back to it it will be discovering some new galley at ALA in Chicago, where I'll be this weekend. So those are some books that have been standing between me and the last hundred pages of All The King's Men.

Taylor Lautner & Lily Collins Spotted Out In Los Angeles — Where Have They Been Hiding?
We know Taylor is busy filming 'Breaking Dawn' but it seems like we haven't seen the young star, or his girlfriend, in months!
Taylor Lautner and Lily Collins were spotted after what seems like months of hiding when they were snapped getting off a late night flight at LAX Feb. 12. Even though they had been traveling for hours, the two of course looked picture perfect in matching leather jackets. Awwww!
Taylor has of course been hard at work on Breaking Dawn in Baton Rouge and it appears his lady love has been spending a good deal of time with him while he is busy on set.
The two, who met on the set of Abduction, seem to be doing better than ever. Despite the age difference between 21-year-old Lily and 19-year-old Taylor, these two are definitely for real. It is nice to see, given the heartbreak Taylor experienced over his last relationship with singer Taylor Swift.
Taylor made a brief appearance at the People's Choice Awards Jan. 5, but prior to that had not been seen out since early November!
So we want to know HollywoodLifers, do you think Taylor and Lily are a good couple?

I have the "Sew Steady" extension tables for mine. They make them to fit your brand and model machine. http://www.allbrands.com/products/35...-table-clear-a
LOL! Great minds think alike. I was just looking up a link to that for her. I have one for my little Brother machine and I love it.
I have a Janome table with a cut out for the machine to set into. It's about 45" side to side and 18" front to back. I bought it from my Janome dealer when I bought the machine. Here's a site that sells some but none are just like mine. Mine is closest to the second one on the page but the legs are different. I love mine.
I don't want to brag but I can still fit into the earrings I wore in high school.
Thanks all.. what size do you have? I'm wondering if the Jr size (11.5x15) would be big enough to use with the supreme slider and I'm think about buying a quilt halo.

I am not sure what it is that you are looking to find. The small extension table as seen on the website, or are you looking for a table to drop your sewing machine into - like the Sew-Ez table (it comes with a cut out for your machine) for $249.00. You can buy an extra table for another $199.99 to butt up against it so when you need it you have the additional space and put it away when you don't. I love mine, it is very sturdy. (My Janome came with a table it sets into, so all I have to do is reduce my ironing board and it works as my extra table.
Oh my goodness Gayle I moved here from Camarillo!
My DH made me this table. It cost about $30 and can be removed easily (although I usually keep it up since it makes a great work surface.) He also cut off the legs of the old table to adjust it to my height. Sewing machine is easily removed from the table. Here is the directions link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAS25v3ZTk0.

text: I just got my truck and I love it to death. I bought it used, and it had 33x12.50r17's on it. It wasn't raised any (I dont think). I need some advice on lifting my truck. My plan was to lift the front with some new keys (raising it about 2" I think, i would like 3" but i dont know if keys will get it that far) and raise the back 2" with an add a leaf (I do alot of hauling so it serves as a lift and payload booster). Is this a good idea? Also, if i'm correct, the tires on there are about 33", how big of tires can I fit on it with this lift? I heard something about haveing to do something to the truck if it's raised 4" or more.

Justin Mauser maintains a blog about his preparations for a cross-country bicycle ride. To learn more or to make a donation, visit Wish Across the Country.
Justin Mauser has a sturdy bike, months of physical training behind him, and the start of nearly $1,000 worth of food for two months along with a one-way ticket in August on a plane bound for Maine.
Mauser, who earned his University of Arizona undergraduate degree in biochemistry in May, intends to pedal from Bar Harbor, Maine to Tucson, Ariz. – a physically and mentally strenuous ride he is making in the name of charity.
Mauser describes this as one of his greatest longstanding dreams. What remains in the way of him being able to donate to his organization of choice, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Arizona, is nearly 2,500 miles and the would-be $3,000 donation.
"I wanted to couple something I really wanted to do with being able to benefit others," said Mauser, who decided during his final spring semester at UA that he would commit to a cross-country ride while raising funds for the nonprofit.
He joins another Wildcat, UA Honors College student Peter Raisanen, who is in the midst of a cross-country ride and chronicles his feat on his blog, Coast to Coast from the Heart.
Raisanen, who is nearing Bar Harbor to mark the completion of his ride, and UA systems engineering major and Honors College student Cedric Bosch, who introduced Mauser to cycling, serve as inspiration for the trip, Mauser said.
Mauser, who has been applying for medical school at the UA and elsewhere while running, swimming and biking to get prepared, aspires to one day be a pediatrician.
"The idea of helping kids who have life-threatening diseases is a great ambition of mine," said Mauser, who also has been shadowing UA affiliate and pediatrician Eve Shapiro this summer.
Mauser said helping children is an ambition that he shares with Shapiro and the foundation.
"The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Arizona always appreciates when community members help us raise much-needed funds to ensure that all eligible wish kids receive their wishes in a timely manner," said Bethany Taylor, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Arizona's philanthropy director.
"Justin is clearly passionate about helping Arizona's children with life-threatening medical conditions, and it is our pleasure to work with him on his fundraising efforts," Taylor also said.
Rachel Martinez, who met Mauser, a fellow Honors College student, moving into her UA residence hall during her freshman year, said she has long been impressed by his compassion for and support of others.
A resident assistant like Mauser, Martinez said he was prone to supporting others, whether that meant taking the night shift last minute or helping students move in, as he did for her.
"It's never been about Justin. It's always been about how Justin can help others," said Martinez, a UA Honors College student studying molecular and cellular biology and also Latin American studies.
"If you take one look at Justin, you wouldn't think he's as kind as he is," Martinez said. "He is honestly and incredibly sweet person."
That reputation has followed him.
While at the UA, Mauser was a member of Tsu-Shuen Tsao's laboratory. As a student researcher involved with UA's Undergraduate Biology Research Program, Mauser was studying type 2 diabetes.
"He's a very no nonsense type of person and very well adjusted," said Tsao, an assistant professor in the chemistry and biochemistry department. "He's very much the type of person who gets things done because it needs to get done."
When Mauser went to Tsao a few months ago, he told him about the ride and asked his advice on a route.
"It was a bit surprising, but not surprising that he would do it," Tsao said. "I wouldn't say that it is out of character that he wants to do this."
But why cycling?
The way Mauser sees it – sure, he could go for a hike instead and ask around for donations. But, to him, this is not a mere exercise – either in charity or physical exertion. He wants the visceral connection to both the earth and to his cause.
"It's active and fit and there is a certain level of intimacy you have with the environment and country," Mauser said. "The danger is part of the thrill."
During the trip, Mauser will carry a trailer with camping gear – a tent, lightweight stove and minimal amounts of food and water – and anticipates daily stops in locations where he can resupply.
Averaging an anticipated daily distance of 70 miles – roughly the distance between Tucson and Casa Grande, Ariz. – Mauser expects to return to Tucson within two months.
"I didn't want to jump into a job right away and, who knows, I may never have the chance to do this again," said Mauser, who has a sponsorship from Muscle Milk, a product of CytoSport, and has received financial support from family and friends.
"I made the decision when I realized I could do this and help others," he added. "This is a dream of mine."

And yet again, they are cooler than most of the stuff US Parks get
As we edge closer to fall, Halloween merchandise starts to appear on shelves in Disney Parks around the globe. Starting on September 3, Tokyo Disneyland will have two seasonal Vinylmations for sale. The figures of Minnie and Donald show the characters in Halloween costume, with Minnie as a witch and Donald as a Mummy. I love the added accessories to the pair, like Minnie's witch hat and cape and Donald's hat and Jack-o-Lantern. One of the really cool aspects of these Vinylmations is that they glow in the dark. How spooky!
The Halloween Minnie and Donald Vinylmations were designed by the artist Sio, whose signature can be found on the bottom of the figures along with a "Halloween 2013" mark. Each 3-inch figure will cost ¥1,200 when they are released. They will be exclusive to Tokyo Disneyland.

That's because he has NO clue. Wade Phillips has that same look when he's the head coach. Some guys are born to lead and some are better at just coordinating.

Great moments in (mostly US) sports history(19 posts)
Smoke and mirrors !
The one play that inspired TV execs to make instant replay and
multiple camera angles mandatory at most sporting events.
There weren't many hockey moments there - here's why (I was born in Canada so love my hockey but couldn't help laughing at the truth of this)
Here you go moreeq, the proverbial Grapes in drapes to provide enough entertainment this side of the prairie. The second one is better and by better I mean longer.
You had to really hear the full race. I was offshore at the time, so listened on the radio. But here's a snatch,
Thanks Scott - brought back lots of memories of when the best hockey action was in the coach's corner .... eh
Seriously?!!! they've go to be in their 80's by now. Thank goodness I can't tune in to the CBC from here and that the only tweeting I know of was done by a little yellow bird
How does one embed videos? Does it need a mod's touch?
How stunningly mundane, boring, trite and time wasting is that. Can anyone explain why people bother? (I guess I'm showing my age ... I just sounded like my father)
Agreed, his is a rather ridiculous feed but that's not to say there aren't worthy ones.
Thanks Scott, Guess that article is in todays paper. Didn't go pick it up yet. Very nice article and info I didn't know.
Edit: Just watched the video. Thanks again.
I was born in April, 1951, and we lived in the Bronx - within shouting distance of Yankee Stadium.
Six months later, in October, I was asleep in my crib while my mother was in another room with her girlfriend as they watched on TV the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants - who had ended the season in a tie for first place - compete in the final game a three-game playoff to decide who would win the National League Pennant, and go to the World Series.
As I lay sleeping in my crib, the game had progressed to the 9th inning, when...
As my mother would tell the story - she and her girlfriend - both Giants fans - began hugging and screaming and clapping and jumping up and down so loudly it woke me from my baby nap and I began to cry. My mom had to run in and hush me back to sleep.
The Giants would go on to meet the Yankees in the World Series, where they would lose in six games to the "Bronx Bombers".
It would be the last time those teams would meet in a so-called "Subway Series"; because by the time they met again in the series, eleven years later, the Giants had since moved to San Fransisco.

Athletic Media Relations
LA JOLLA, Calif.—Earlier in the week, Colorado State water polo coach Mike Moody said that this weekend is a fresh start for his team. The Rams are playing that way, defeating No. 5 Santa Clara, 6-5, Saturday evening, at the WWPA Women's Championships.
The win slots No. 8 CSU (8-21) against No. 3 Cal State Bakersfield for fifth place. The game will take place Sunday at 1 p.m. MT.
The Broncos took an early 1-0 lead, and led again, 2-1, but Amber Bryan and Kelcy Barott scored consecutive goals to close out the first period, and give the Rams the 3-2 advantage. Shelby Schaefer extended the lead with a goal in the second period to give CSU a 4-2 lead going into halftime.
The Rams led for the remainder of the contest, including by as many as three goals (6-3), after Kallie Berry's score to open the fourth period. But Santa Clara wouldn't go away, scoring with 3 minutes, 9 seconds remaining, and again with 18 ticks on the clock to make it a one-possession game.
Berry led CSU with two goals. Jamie Stone also notched her third goal of the season. Melissa Fisher recorded 10 stops in goal. Berry, who will likely play in her final collegiate contest on Sunday, has led or been tied for the team-lead in goals each game this weekend.
The victory avenges CSU's loss to Santa Clara on April 14, 12-8. The Broncos' five goals were the fewest allowed by the Rams this season.
CSU and Cal State Bakersfield met once this season, with CSU falling on the road, 10-9, on March 31. No. 2 UC San Diego will face No. 1 LMU for the conference championship, Sunday at 4 p.m. Cal State Monterey Bay, the sixth seed, and Cal State East Bay, seeded fourth, will battle in the semifinals. Highlights from CSU's win vs. Santa Clara can be found here.
Game 9 - No. 5 Santa Clara vs. No. 8 Colorado State (Consolation)

Santa Clara Goals: Eadington 2, Espinosa 2, Bandimere
CSU Goals: Berry 2, Stone, Bryan, Barott, Schaefer

Patient advocacy is an inherent component of professional nursing ethics; in other words, nurses' enough knowledge would be essential to gain a positive attitude towards nursing advocacy. Using a descriptive-analytic design, this study aimed to assess the correlation between nurses' perception and attitudes towards patient advocacy, amongst 385 nurses in Kerman, Iran; hence, a three-part questionnaire was applied: part I, a demographic data sheet, part II, attitude measuring instrument, and part III, perception measuring instrument in nursing advocacy. The results implied that fairly positive attitudes and perception were found amongst the participants, and nurses' attitudes, in general, were positively correlated to their perception toward nursing advocacy. This means that with an improvement in perception, the attitude would also improve. In addition to our findings, it seems that these nurses needed more advocacy educational programs and support from responsible employers.

A former Tamatea High School student would never have thought taking a home-economics class instead of learning to dance would help turn him into one of the brightest minds in the biology world.
Carl Yeoman, 33, is recognised as a leader in his field of bacteria and has addressed many conferences throughout the US.
His proud parents, Jim and Trish Yeoman, still live in Hawke's Bay, said from the time he refused to learn to dance at intermediate and was required to take a home-economics class instead, Carl had his first fascination with food science.
This passion continued through high school and he entered Massey University in Palmerston North to study food technology.
"At 12, one of his teachers told him to go and buy a home brew kit," said Jim. "At the end of that, his first year at uni, his mentor proposed he forget that year and start again but enter the domain of molecular micro-biology."
His marks through his academic career were so high that when he achieved his master's degree, he was granted the first year of his PhD.
While studying for his PhD, Meat NZ sponsored him.
Carl achieved his doctorate and worked as a bacteriologist with AgResearch for five years before taking a position with Illinois University.
After being with them for a year he heard of another laboratory at the university that was about to enter a scientific study that he had always had a fascination in, so he offered to work with them in his time off.
"After a discussion with the head scientist, Carl was asked to oversee the whole project - which he accepted."
During this time he had the honour of being visited by Carl Woese, who is recognised by some as as being the greatest anthropologist since Charles Darwin.
"Carl Woese was extremely impressed with some of the scientific results being achieved, and more so that they were proving some of his theories to be fact," said his father.
An opportunity to move on came when Carl Yeoman's boss presented some of his work to a conference that was attended by senior staff of the Mayo Clinic, but chose instead to take a Montana State University offer as assistant professor along with a start-up package excluding wages.
"He did not choose the clinic because they could only offer him a junior role and he had to wear a suit and cut his hair," Jim Yeoman said. "His time at the university consists of roughly 70 per cent lab work, 20 per cent lecturing and 10 per cent representing the university and speaking at conferences."
Carl said on his blog that the whirlwind nature of his job has kept him busy but excited.
"In the past nine weeks, I have been in four countries, and several cities in Montana.
"I was an invited speaker at the annual Bertinoro Computational Biology meeting in Bertinoro, Italy." he said.
"I have been teaching Advanced Ruminant Nutrition to eight very talented graduate students.
"I have written several grants. Perhaps the majority of my time has been spent kicking off several research programmes."
Now settled in Montana with his wife Casey and their three children, Carl has made huge and almost unbelievable achievements in the past year.
"He has had many scientific papers printed, culminating with a paper written with colleagues being classed as editor's choice in on of the world's leading science magazines," said Jim.
"Soon he is about to embark upon a European tour which will involve five conferences. However this tour is now having to be cut short as he has had a letter inviting him to fly to Washington DC to sit on the board of 20 that considers and allocates funding for scientific projects throughout the USA.
"He is living the dream."
