Gazette uncritically reported Republican lawmaker's baseless claim: "The people are more pro[-]life than pro-abortion"
Research ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
In reporting on a proposed Republican-backed measure that would ban nearly all abortions in Colorado, The Gazette of Colorado Springs did not challenge a claim by state Rep. Kevin Lundberg (R-Berthoud) that "[t]he people are more pro[-]life than pro-abortion." The most recent polls indicate that, in fact, more Colorado voters would oppose a ban on abortion.
In a January 23 article about proposed Republican-sponsored legislation that would ban almost all abortions in Colorado, The Gazette of Colorado Springs uncritically quoted state Rep. Kevin Lundberg (R-Berthoud) as saying, "The people are more pro[-]life than pro-abortion." In fact, according to the most recent polls, more Coloradans would oppose, rather than support, a ban on abortion.
As The Gazette reported, "Several GOP legislators ... on Monday announced plans to introduce a bill banning all abortions except those necessary to save the life of a mother." The article continued, "A news conference, timed to coincide with the anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion case in the U.S. Supreme Court, was one way to draw attention to a bill unlikely to get a floor vote in the Democratic-controlled General Assembly." The Gazette also noted that the Colorado legislation would be similar to a "bill enacted by the South Dakota Legislature in 2005 [that] was overturned in a referendum last fall."
"The sponsors of the Colorado bill said Colorado voters might support a tough abortion law," according to the Gazette article, which quoted Lundberg as saying that "[t]he people are more pro[-]life than pro-abortion" and noted that State Sen. Ted Harvey (R-Highlands Ranch) "agreed" with Lundberg's statement.
However, the most recent polls on the issue of abortion show that more Colorado voters would oppose a ban on abortion than would support it. As The Denver Post reported in an August 10, 2006, article about the decision to pull a late-term abortion ban off the November ballot, a Post poll in February 2006 "found 51 percent of voters would oppose the measure, with 35 percent in support of it." Furthermore, a Rasmussen poll -- also taken in February 2006 -- found that "[i]n Colorado, 54% oppose a ban on abortion similar to the one passed recently in South Dakota." On November 7, South Dakotans voted 56 percent to 44 percent to overturn the ban.
A more recent poll of Colorado voters released November 1 by Ciruli Associates found that "Colorado is a majority pro-choice state" with "[s]lightly over half the electorate (56%) [] either strongly pro-choice or pro-choice with few restrictions."
Nationally, recent polls suggest that a majority of Americans would likely oppose such a ban on abortion:
- A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll conducted January 19-21 found that 62 percent of Americans would not "like to see the Supreme Court overturn its 1973 Roe versus Wade decision concerning abortion," compared with 29 percent who would. The poll's margin of error was 3 percentage points.
- A CBS News poll conducted January 18-21 reported that only 17 percent of Americans think abortion should either never be permitted or permitted only "to save the woman's life." Thirty-one percent thought abortion should be permitted in all cases, and 30 percent thought it should permitted in the cases of "rape, incest, and to save the woman's life." The poll had a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
- According to a Newsweek poll conducted October 26-27, 2006, 53 percent of those polled "sympathize" with "the pro-choice movement" and 39 percent sympathize with "the right-to-life movement." The poll's margin of error was 3 percentage points.
- More specifically, a CNN poll conducted August 30-September 2, 2006, found that 51 percent of Americans would "oppose a law in [their] state that would ban all abortions except those necessary to save the life of the mother"; 45 percent said they would favor such a ban. The poll's half sample margin of error was 4.5 percentage points.
As Colorado Media Matters has noted, Lundberg in 2006 backed a proposed ballot initiative that would amend the Colorado Constitution to prohibit the state from creating domestic partnerships "similar to that of marriage." That initiative, which failed to gather enough signatures to gain a spot on the November ballot, was an attempt to trump Referendum I, which the Colorado legislature placed on the ballot. Ref. I would have allowed same-sex couples to be registered by the state and entitled them to certain benefits and rights.
From the January 23 Gazette of Colorado Springs article by Hank Lacey, "GOP lawmakers will introduce bill prohibiting most abortions":
Several GOP legislators, including a pair from Colorado Springs, on Monday announced plans to introduce a bill banning all abortions except those necessary to save the life of a mother.
A news conference, timed to coincide with the anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion case in the U.S. Supreme Court, was one way to draw attention to a bill unlikely to get a floor vote in the Democratic-controlled General Assembly.
"The issue of human life and its protection should be considered a matter of morality and ethics high above the partisan struggle," said Sen. Dave Schultheis, R-Colorado Springs.
A similar bill enacted by the South Dakota Legislature in 2005 was overturned in a referendum last fall.
The sponsors of the Colorado bill said Colorado voters might support a tough abortion law.
"The people are more prolife than pro-abortion," Rep. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, said. Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, agreed. "With the right campaign we could get it passed," Harvey said.
The Supreme Court is considering a case challenging the constitutionality of a federal law prohibiting partial-birth abortions. A decision is expected by July.
Schultheis urged Gov. Bill Ritter to support the bill. "We need to make sure the Colorado Promise extends to the unborn," Schultheis said, alluding to the catchphrase from Ritter's campaign.

Project Chronicles Life In Fast-Growing Chinese Cities
A strategic planner from W+K Shanghai took a trip around the country, interviewing and photographing the people he met.
Strategic planner Richard Summers of W+K Shanghai visited six cities in China, interviewing the people who live and work in some of the fastest growing places in the country for a project called Boomtown Stories.
The project was inspired by a 2010 study, which identified new Chinese boomtowns that were seeing rapid increases in population, income and infrastructure development. The study named them the CHAMPS – after the cities of Chongqing, Hefei, Anshan, Ma'anshan, Pingdingshan and Shenyang.
The Boomtown Stories project aimed to understand what these changes mean for the people who live in these cities. Summers set out to visit the six cities in twelve days by land and put faces and words to the names and numbers. The thoughts and dreams of the numerous people he met have been collected and shared on a website so you can explore what the residents feel about the changes to their city's infrastructure, economy and society.

Anatomy of a trade: How the Red Sox landed Jake Peavy (without giving up top prospects)
Credit: Matthew West
This was the plan all along.
While most observers figured the Red Sox would be focused on fortifying their injury-ravaged bullpen in the hours leading up to today's 4 p.m. trade deadline, general manager Ben Cherington was intent on acquiring another starter. The rationale: Trading for relief pitching is a crapshoot, something Cherington knows all too well after his ill-fated deals for Mark Melancon, Andrew Bailey and Joel Hanrahan. And although the Sox still believe Clay Buchholz will pitch again this season and don't have an urgent need for a starter, one way to bolster the bullpen is by adding depth to the rotation.
But the market for starters wasn't particularly bountiful this year, and in most cases, the asking price was astronomical. To wit: Nine days ago, the Cubs sent Matt Garza to the Rangers for a three-player package that included third base prospect Mike Olt and 21-year-old right-hander C.J. Edwards, never mind that Garza will be a free agent at season's end and amounts to little more than a two-month rental in Texas.
So, Cherington made a calculation: If he was going to sacrifice a long-term asset for a pitcher, he wanted a pitcher who would be under contract beyond this season. That led him to the White Sox and to Jake Peavy.
"We went into the deadline feeling like if we could make a move to improve the team and protect our chances to compete and give us every chance to get into October we wanted to do that," Cherington said in an early Wednesday morning conference call. "We wanted to do it in a way that's not all about this year, preferably, and we were able to find this deal that fit in that category."
One problem: The rebuilding White Sox wanted multiple prospects in exchange for Peavy, and the Red Sox weren't about to give up the farm, especially 20-year-old shortstop Xander Bogaerts, future center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr., or 21-year-old lefty Henry Owens. So, Cherington explored other options, including Phillies ace lefty Cliff Lee, for whom the price was even higher (one source confirmed Philadelphia GM Ruben Amaro Jr. insisted on Bogaerts, the Sox' top prospect and as close to untouchable as any player in the organization).
And then, on Tuesday, it became clear. If a third team was brought into the process, perhaps the Red Sox could pry Peavy from Chicago while also satisfying the White Sox' needs.
"We spent a lot of time on it, but were having a little bit of a hard time matching up directly with (the White Sox)," Cherington said. "We found a potential opportunity with the Tigers and expanding it to a three-team deal allowed all three teams to get what they needed."
Turns out, the Tigers were looking to bolster their defense on the left side of the infield and provide insurance in case shortstop Jhonny Peralta is suspended for his alleged connection with the Biogenesis scandal. Lo and behold, the Red Sox could offer Jose Iglesias, a dazzling defender whose Rookie of the Year candidacy nevertheless has cooled in proportion to his bat over the past month. In 149 at-bats through July 6, Iglesias was batting an otherworldly .403. Since then, he's hitting .167 (11-for-66) with no extra-base hits and no walks.
Iglesias has been the Red Sox' primary third baseman for the past month, but long-term, they view him as a shortstop. Given that they're committed to veteran shortstop Stephen Drew for the rest of the season and have Bogaerts and former first-round pick Deven Marrero in Triple A and high-A, respectively, they were willing to trade Iglesias, especially because his value is still relatively high thanks to his emergence this season.
Thus, the Red Sox agreed to deal Iglesias to the Tigers for promising 22-year-old outfielder Avisail Garcia and reliever Bryan Villarreal, then flip Garcia and three lower-level prospects (Single-A right-handers J.B. Wendelken and Francelis Montas and infielder Cleuluis Rondon) to the White Sox for Peavy.
And so, the Red Sox get their starter, the Tigers get their shortstop, and the White Sox get a package of prospects fronted by Garcia.
Everybody's happy.
"We certainly didn't go into this July looking or expecting to trade Jose, but we felt it was a relative area of a strength to deal from," Cherington said. "And if we could get the starting pitcher we really wanted, ultimately we thought it made sense to do the deal."
At 32 and with a history of injuries, Peavy is no longer the dominant ace who won the Cy Young Award in 2007 with the Padres. But he has overcome a fractured rib that Cherington labeled a "freak injury" to go 8-4 with a 4.28 ERA, 76 strikeouts and only 17 walks for the White Sox. He also has lasted at least six innings in 10 of his 13 starts. And considering the Sox gave up Iglesias to get him, they're pleased that he's under contract beyond this season. He will make $14.5 million next season and has a $15 player option for 2015 that is contingent upon his health.
A National League scout who has watched Peavy this season classified him as a "good, solid No. 3 (starter)" who would fit well in the Red Sox' rotation behind Buchholz and Jon Lester. And since Buchholz hasn't pitched since June 8 and likely won't return until at least late August because of inflammation in his right shoulder, Peavy also gives the Sox insurance that rookie right-hander Brandon Workman can't be counted on to provide, even though Workman has pitched well since being called up three weeks ago.
Oh, and about that injury-ravaged bullpen? The Red Sox are committed to Koji Uehara as closer for the rest of the season, and by trading for Peavy, they can move Workman into a relief role, where he will join fellow starter-turned-reliever Drake Britton, who hasn't allowed a run in six innings since being called up from Triple A. With Workman, Britton, set-up men Junichi Tazawa and Craig Breslow, lefty Matt Thornton and possibly even rehabbing lefty Franklin Morales, the Red Sox are hoping to have the in-house solutions that will render another trade for a reliever unnecessary.
Indeed, that was the plan all along.
So, was Cherington ever worried it wouldn't come to fruition?
"There's so much going on this time of year you don't have time to be too concerned about that," he said. "There was a lot of back and forth directly with the White Sox, and we knew all along they had other options and he could go somewhere else. There's a price you're willing to pay and you have to be willing to let him go somewhere else if we cant get him on a deal we like. You just keep working at it, and ultimately, it just seemed when we were able to get the Tigers in the conversation it allowed all three teams to come away with what they needed."

The Peopling of Australia since 1788
Since the British first colonised Australia in 1788, 10 million people have arrived in this country and made it their home. These people have been part of one of the greatest migration movements in the history of the modern world.
Horizons traced this incredible story of human relocation. It looked at how migration has shaped the Australia we know today, and the role governments have played. It showed who these migrants are and were, where they came from, what they packed in their suitcases, and what hopes and expectations they held for their new life.
The human face of history
Why do some people leave their family and friends to start a new life on the other side of the world? What is it like to be forced from your home?
Horizons explored multicultural Australia and examines how each group, from British convicts to Sudanese refugees, has contributed to the richness of Australian society.
Horizons also examined the emotional side of migration - the longing for home, sadness, confusion, or joy and freedom.
From penal settlement to homeland
The journey begins with the early stages of British settlement and the first migrants the convicts. It also highlights the importance of the early visionaries who worked to create a better society.
Through the use of biographies, images and objects, Horizons also looked at how Australia's growth was made possible by official immigration.
It featured people such as Mei Quong Tart, a Chinese businessman who spoke English with a Scottish accent (due to his living with a Scottish family as a child), and Rose Deng, who fled the civil war in Sudan and migrated to Australia with her children in 1997.
Possessions that speak 1000 words
Horizons was laden with rich objects and images. These included traditional Castellorizian costume worn by a Greek migrant, an English settler's toy farmyard set, crockery from a convict housewife's kitchen, and an Italian barber's shaving tools.
As a whole, these objects and images serve as little windows onto Australia's very big past.

Keen to thank Nvidia for the PC hardware they'd provided to run their game, Craig Derrick, producer of the freshly announced Star Wars 1313 wasn't fooling anybody with his rhetoric of 'we can't confirm what consoles the game will be be available on' after our behind closed doors look at the game.
Only really describable as staggering, the small chunk of in-game footage was ahead of anything we've seen before, as what seemed to be a beautifully rendered introductory sequence transitioned seamlessly to controllable gameplay.
Jaws dropped as bounty hunters exchanged blaster fire with droids attempting to board the ship, and then hit the floor as the ships plunging down toward the shadowy level 1313 collided into each other, leaving the player's character to clamber up the spiraling, exploding hull of his ship with Nathan Drake like athleticism as the scenery flashed by at exhilarating speeds.
LucasArts might not have been able to share what systems they were planning to release on but were able to tell us how Industrial Light & Magic, George Lucas' visual effects studio and the very same team who created the Hulk for the recents Avengers film, are assisting in creating such amazing visuals.
They even showed us a video of an actor clad in motion capture garb that included two face-mounted cameras to capture every single twitch in a similar way to what we've seen in Rockstar's LA Noire; though perhaps even more impressive with actors able to move around whilst wearing the tech, rather than being sat down rigidly in a chair.
One thing's sure, if 1313 is coming to PS3 and Xbox 360 the drop in visual detail will be so much as to leave high-end PC users light years ahead.

Unwritten:Echoes of Twilight - Kickstarter Launched
The kickstarter for Unwritten:Echoes of Twilight is now live, and asking for $500,000. The game can be described as a single player, open world, open play, fantasy RPG where player choices determine the direction, flow, and the outcome of the game.
Unwritten: Echoes of Twilight is a single player, open world, role playing adventure game that combines the visual appeal of modern graphics and animation technologies with the classic role-playing elements hardcore RPG gamers love. In modern games, immersion, interactivity, and customization are often watered down by major studios, resulting in diluted replay value and degradation of the "role play" nature of the games. As RPG gamers ourselves, Druid Gameworks understands all those fun nerdy things RPG gamers want to see, or do, and we plan to give it to them in spades.
In this non-traditional prequel and introduction to the Unwritten series, players are introduced to the world of Arthanswold through the heartland isles of Aerendwel and Byre, where the diverse and often unforgiving landscapes range from perilous mountain passes to dark ominous marsh lands, and overgrown jungles. In a player driven adventure, you can explore the world in any direction you want your story to go! Unearth hidden locations, unique characters, and dynamic quests. Chronicle your adventure in your journal, taking real notes whenever something important crosses your path. Customize pets and companions, take ownership of shops, wield powerful ritual magicks, join factions to form friendships, and uncover the shards of an ancient mystery that echoes from the past.
Thank you for reminding me wolfgrimdark.

Cuddle up with a kid's best friend By Judy Belanger
GASPARD AND LISA'S RAINY DAY and LISA'S BABY SISTER, by Anne Gutman, illustrated by Georg Hallensleben, Knopf, $9.95; ages 3-7.
Gaspard and Lisa are young dogs and best friends who have a series of adventures that mirror the experiences young readers have every day. In Rainy Day, they spend their vacation with Lisa's grandma where they discover it can be hard to find something to do on a rainy day that doesn't cause a mess or disturb everyone. In Baby Sister, Lisa's mom is expecting a new arrival. She doesn't have the energy to do things with Lisa, which makes Lisa unhappy about the prospect of having a new sibling. Finally the big day arrives, and baby Lila is born. At first Lisa is jealous, but her feelings quickly change when she shows off her new sister to her friends. Other adventures in the Gaspard and Lisa series include a visit to the hospital and an airplane ride—experiences that children share and might find it easier to understand when seen through in the lives of the animal characters. BAD DOG, MAX!, by Marina Windsor, illustrated by Steve Haskamp, Chronicle Books, $15.99; ages 3-7.
Puppies often get themselves into a lot of trouble. Whether it's stray socks, backyard holes or food off the table, the word "no" has to be learned. Max is just like other puppies as she learns proper behaviors. The veterinarian says maybe the dog has a lot of extra energy and suggests walks or playing in the yard would be beneficial. Dogs, as well as children, learn the word no in much the same way. Children will learn from this book that even though they often hear "no," the word is said for a reason and they are still loved.
CHIP WANTS A DOG, by William Wegman, Hyperion, $16.99; ages 4-8.
It's the story many parents hear: their child wants a dog, and he or she promises to feed it, walk it, train it and be responsible for it. Sure. In this book, Chip is a dog dressed in a boy's clothes who wants the pet and makes the promises. Ultimately, Chip realizes he doesn't need a dog because he is one. "He took himself for a walk, taught himself new tricks, and gave himself a bone." Wegman's pictures of his Weimaraners have appeared on calendars, books, commercials, TV shows and in exhibits worldwide. The dogs also appear in the stories of Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood.
MAX GOES TO THE MOON: A SCIENCE ADVENTURE WITH MAX THE DOG, by Jeffrey Bennett, illustrated by Alan Okamoto, Big Kid Science, $16.95; ages 4-12.
I remember reading science books that contained information predicting a day when man would go to the moon. After Neil Armstrong and the Apollo 11 crew lived that dream in 1969, I removed some of those same books from my school library. In this book, Max the dog and his human friend, Tori, accompany another crew on a mission to the moon. After their return to Earth, a colony for scientific study is established on the moon. Years from now, another school librarian may find herself removing these books from the shelf because they no longer speculate about a future yet to come.
Besides the story, the pages contain boxes of information about the solar system and space travel and answers the questions kids always ask. Bennett, an astrophysicist and former NASA scientist, uses his knowledge and experience to present factual information in a way that is easy for children to understand and challenges them to continue exploring the subject. The book can be read at the company's Web site, www.BigKidScience.com. At the site, be sure to investigate the other science activities. I am sure many children, especially aspiring astronauts, will want their own copy of the book, the first from Big Kid Science. I hope the company doesn't keep everyone waiting too long for the next adventure.
HENRY AND MUDGE AND THE WILD GOOSE CHASE, by Cynthia Rylant, illustrated by Carolyn Bracken in the style of Sucie Stevenson, Simon & Schuster, $14.95; ages 5-7.
Mom decides one morning that she would like some farm-fresh eggs, fresh-picked blueberries and fresh corn. Mom, Dad, Henry and their dog, Mudge, take off for a day in the country. While Mom and Dad are making their purchases, Henry and Mudge are off exploring. They enjoy their adventure visiting with all the farm animals until they meet up with a goose that chases them back to the farmhouse. Mudge gets in the last word when he barks at the goose and chases it away.
Henry and his big dog Mudge were first introduced in 1987. Since then, Rylant has written more than 20 books about their adventures. Her beginning chapter books are very popular with children in first to third grade and now include a few books in the Ready-to-Read category. This popular children's author writes books for a wide age range covering a variety of subjects that includes Caldecott honor books The Relatives Came and When I Was Young in the Mountains and Newbery winner Missing May.

This is a special Tail of DevotionSee All Tails of Devotion
One day my Mommy was really really busy. She was cleaning the house and cooking and everything. I was bored. So I decided to get into mischief.
The first thing I did was rip open the garbage bag. It was smelly...but messy, and I like messy! I played in the trash and drug it all over the house. Mommy said I stained her carpet, but I think it'll be okay. She wasn't too happy because she had to clean it all up, and she just finished vacuuming, but I was just having fun.
Then she cleaned the bathroom. For some reason she closed the door. She said I couldn't go in there. She said there were chemicals, whatever that is. She stayed in there for a really long time. It felt like hours, but she said it was only 20 minutes. I accidently ripped the carpet out of the floor trying to get in there. She told Daddy it would cost a lot of money to fix it. I didnt see what the big deal was, but it didn't matter. I had to go outside.
I stayed outside and played in everything...the grass, leaves, flowers, dirt...everything. I love being outside.
After I stayed outside for like 2 hours I ran in the house and snuck in the bathroom before my Mommy could even see me. And there was nothing in there to play with except one thing...the toilet paper roll. That thing was awesome! I got to shred it and rip it and spit it out and scratch it...I really really like scratching it. I tore that hole thing up and wrapped myself all in it.
You won't believe what happened next...Mommy caught me. She looked like she wanted to cry. I just messed up something else, she said. But I was just having fun. I had to go to my bedroom and stay there with nothing but a bowl of water, some food, and one stinkin' squeaky toy. She could have at least given me two. But oh well, it wasn't for too long. She let me back out and played catch.
I don't like getting into trouble. I hate going to my room...it's no fun. But what I do to get there is!
I love today...it's Valentine's Day. It's my favorite day so far! I have a super duper extra special valentine this year...and that's my mommy. She's so sweet. She brings me home presents all the time...all kinds of toys, and snacks and all sorts of good stuff; so now I get to do something for her. I licked her so much all she could do was laugh, laugh, laugh.
Yea, this was an extra special Valentine's Day! I love my mommy!

Parish and Belonging: Community, Identity and Welfare in England and…
by K. D. M. Snell
No current Talk conversations about this book.
No reviews
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0521862922, Hardcover)What role did the parish play in people's lives in England and Wales between 1700 and the mid-twentieth century? By comparison with globalisation and its dislocating effects, the book stresses how important parochial belonging once was. Professor Snell discusses themes such as settlement law and practice, marriage patterns, cultures of local xenophobia, the continuance of out-door relief in people's own parishes under the new poor law, the many new parishes of the period and their effects upon people's local attachments. The book highlights the continuing vitality of the parish as a unit in people's lives, and the administration associated with it. It employs a variety of historical methods, and makes important contributions to the history of welfare, community identity and belonging. It is highly relevant to the modern themes of globalisation, de-localisation, and the decline of community, helping to set such changes and their consequences into local historical perspective.

Steelers CB Lewis making name for himself
Keenan Lewis was quick to answer the question.
Will a game-changing performance against one of the top receivers in the league in Cincinnati's A.J. Green on Sunday at Heinz Field propel Lewis to another level that could result in a hefty contract at the end of the year?
"I am not going to take it like that," Lewis said. "I am going to take it one game at a time and see where I go from there."
But make no mistake, when you match up one-on-one all over the field with arguably the best receiver in the NFL in a game with your playoff hopes on the line, it could go a long way in securing Lewis, a free-agent-to-be, a nice contract in the offseason.
"He knows what is at stake," teammate and childhood friend Mike Wallace said. "This can be a very, very big thing for him. If he goes and has a good game, it could put him where he wants to be."
And that would be among some of the most sought-after free agent corners in the league during this offseason, a list that includes big names such as Brent Grimes, Tracy Porter, Quentin Jammer, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Sheldon Brown and Terence Newman.
"This is a great opportunity to just let other people around the league see what you are worth and see your talents and see what you can bring to the table," injured cornerback Ike Taylor said.
Lewis has made great strides in just his fourth year in the league. He went from a situational defensive back a year ago, to being the guy the opposition targets this year because Taylor was having a Pro Bowl season on the other side, to being the guy who follows the top receiver all over the field because of Taylor's injury.
Lewis got a taste of that last week when he was matched up on Dallas' Dez Bryant and allowed four catches for 59 yards and a touchdown while being thrown at eight times.
"I've known K-Lew my entire life, and I don't feel that he is out of his element," Wallace said. "But this is definitely a good spot to see where he is at and to see how far he has come."
He's made big progress since last season, and it's come at the best time — a contract year.
Lewis signed a one-year low-level restricted free tender worth $1.26 million in the offseason and was a question mark of even holding down that position through training camp.
But Lewis, despite nagging shoulder and hip injuries throughout the season, missed 13 snaps all season with eight of those coming last week despite being the second most thrown-at cornerback in the league (100). He's allowed 51 catches for 587 yards and three touchdowns and has held receivers to three or fewer catches in 10 of his 14 starts.
"It is just another challenge for him," Taylor said. "He has been holding his own with the challenges and what he's been able to do. If he feels like he is that kind of corner, he is going to get that kind of challenge."
Green is second in the league with 11 touchdowns with 10 of those coming in a nine-game span. His 85 catches are sixth in the league.
"It is just a natural growth process for Keenan," Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau said. "The better he plays, the better chance our defense has to keep them low on the scoreboard."
The Steelers were able to hold him to a season-low one catch and five targets during their first meeting because of the play of Taylor.
"We are going to sit down this week and draw up a game plan," Lewis said.
And what that game plan might entail? "I can't tell you all that," Taylor said.

Ren Fest Fashion Show

Bedazzled: A Brief History of Figure Skating Costumes

It's really hard to watch the Olympics and not wonder why ALL the athletes aren't wearing bedazzled lycra ball gowns and Elvis suits while competing for winter sports glory at an international level.

Drum Sticks
Made from only the finest American Hickory, with the famous Regal Tip finish, feel, and balance. Joe Calato developed the original nylon tip drum stick over 40 years ago. Regal Tip was the first company to install their own dry kiln so that they could control the manufacturing process from the kiln drying of the wood, to the matching and pairing of sticks.
Calato was also the first to upgrade the quality of the sticks on the market by grading them for straightness of grain, weight, color, and warp, and then match each pair.

I posted a similar question but included some before pics. All responses were referencing the before and not the after pics so I'm posting again omitting them. Had a rapid expansion and Lefort on my upper jaw, and a mandibular advancement to correct some jaw issues as well as a fat transfer to my upper lip. My nose and nostrils have widened significantly and my lips are uneven when I smile. In addition, my teeth barely show at rest. What are my options? These are my after pics. Thanks!

Zara sweater, Zara pants, Isabel Marant sneakers, Zara scarf (old collection).
Today's. It's so cold! I went shopping to Antwerp the other day, and I bought these pants and this sweater at Zara. It has been a while since I've visited the Zara store, mostly because of the last couple of times I've been there I couldn't find a single thing.
I've dyed my hair again, for the second time. It's a bit lighter than my original color, but I kinda like it! ( the previous outfit was taken before I dyed my hair! )

"I've never known a summer like it", said one of Britain's leading discount agents this week. "There are 10 times as many transatlantic bargains as there were this time last week." And many of them are to the gateway to New England: Boston.
British Airways has three flights between Heathrow and the Massachusetts capital; American Airlines has two from Heathrow and one from Gatwick; Virgin Atlantic has one from Gatwick (code-sharing with Continental); and this year United Airlines joined the crush of carriers flying between London and Boston when it launched flights from Heathrow.
Fares this month are around pounds 350 return, much lower than last summer, and availability is reasonable. They will fall still further from 1 September until mid-December; you should be able to get a return ticket for as little as pounds 200 in October and November.
Getting around
Most visitors end up renting a car to explore New England, but a serviceable railway runs south from Boston and buses link other parts of the region. It is also possible to take a commuter flight from Boston to the small town of Bangor, but those with time on their hands would be better advised to rent a car.

Tips for changing GM 3.8 spark plugs????
Anyone have any tips or "secrets" to changing the back three plugs on a Buick Lucerne 3.8? Or is is just a couple of hours of pure frustration, skinned knuckles, swearing, and a lot of booze? It sure looks like that will be the situation. Thanks.
The engineers that design these things should be made to do all the basic mantaince items on a vehicle before passing that B/S on to customers.
I've found a universal adaptor helps.
I also use the shop vac once the plugs out to suck up any trash around the plug hole before installing the new plug.
No secrets.
Busted knuckles is all.
Get the thexton engine mover. When I changed plugs in my daughters 3.1 v6 lumina , I removed the dogbones and inserted thexton and cranked engine forward. Google thexton engine mover.
Try doing it on a 4th gen Camaro V8.
We got so used to doing it that we just drop the motor.
Indeed, I have on my 1994 LT1! It takes several hours, many busted knuckles, and some serious creativity just to get #2 plug! Some of the others alls you need to do is drop the exhaust. Any way you slice it takes about a good solid day.
Try spraying some PB Blaster on the threads, and let them soak a bit. That should help.
When you go to reinstall them, put some hi temp anti seize on the threads. Then torque them. A lot of people over tighten spark plugs.
They will come out a lot easier next time.
My vote for the worst car for plug changing goes to the Shelby GT500. You could fight them, but it was easier to pull the engine.

If I found an industrial sized staple in my hamburger meat after I bit on it and hurt my teeth, can I sue the meat distributor?
Question Details:
You can sue all parties who had anything to do with the production and sale of the hamburger meat. For example, the slaughterhouse, company whose name is on the package (I assume this is what you mean by distributor), and the store where you purchased the meat.
Your lawsuit would have separate causes of action (claims) for negligence and strict liability. Negligence is the failure to exercise due care (that degree of care that a reasonable slaughterhouse, manufacturer/distributor, seller would have exercised under the same or similar circumstances to produce a product that is not defective).
Strict liability is liability whether or not due care was exercised.
The store where you purchased the hamburger meat is liable even if it could not have known the product was defective.
When you complete your medical/dental treatment and are released by the doctor/dentist, obtain your medical/dental bills, medical/dental report and if applicable, documentation of any wage loss. Your personal injury claim filed with the insurance carriers of the parties listed above will consist of these items. Prior to filing a lawsuit, it may be possible to settle the case with the insurance carriers. Compensation for the medical/dental bills is straight reimbursement. The medical/dental reports will document the nature and extent of your injury and will be used to determine compensation for pain and suffering. Compensation for pain and suffering is an amount in addition to the medical/dental bills. Compenation for wage loss is straight reimbursement. If you are dissatisfied with settlement offers from the insurance companies, reject the settlement offers and file your lawsuit for negligence and strict liability. If the case is settled with all the insurance carriers, NO lawsuit is filed. If the case is only settled with some, but not all the insurance carriers, only the parties wiith whom you have not settled are named as defendants in your lawsuit for negligence and strict liability. If the case is not settled with any of the insurance companies, then all parties are named as defendants in your lawsuit. If the case is NOT settled, you will need to file your lawsuit for negligence and strict liability prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitiatons or you will lose your rights forever in the matter.

An Idea for JPA Regarding Domain-Driven Design
JPA and domain-driven design don't mix well. In fact, JPA "entities" are representatives of the anemic data model that Fowler warns against. I have already discussed DDD in the light of JPA and dependency injection, so I won't go into much details here whether anemic data model is bad or not (for the record: I don't think it's bad).
But for the times you need to inject dependencies into entities standards don't give you a hand. The only option is @Configurable, which requires aspectj weaving, which is "black magic" to me. So why you can't inject dependencies into entities? Because they are created by you and not by a dependency injection framework.
Well, here's a weird idea. What if JPA 3 had
EntityManager.createEntity(Foo.class) so that your entities are managed all the time? Then you'll be able to inject dependencies different than other entities (which is already handled by JPA through associations). How will it work?
- JPA will require a
DependencyManagerwhich will provide the dependencies, handle their lifecycle, etc. CDI will be the default dependency manager of course, but any framework (spring, guice, etc) can plug-in their implementation
- whenever you em.create(..) your entity it will have its dependencies set – as if the entity is created by your DI framework
- this would mean that the "transient" state of entities will not exist (if you choose the create() method, that is)
But… detached entities, or the cases when you need to create the entities where you should not have access to the entity manager (in a controller for example) are the most important thing. And I can't give a satisfactory suggestion to this one. You would either need to inject EntityCreator which, under the hood will either use the entity manager, or another mechanism (if you are likely to switch from JPA to something else). But this could be a "best practice" rather than a standard interface because if it is a JPA interface that's still a direct dependency of the web layer on JPA. Another option is to propagate the creation through all layers, but that is boilerplate. A third option is to have detached entities automatically attached when they 'enter' the service layer (through AOP). And a downside to the idea is that people will be tempted to inject the EntityManager itself, which will violate layer boundaries. And another downside is that people may (rightfully) say – "what, I can't use the new operator anymore?!"
So I'm just throwing an idea. I would be surprised if CDI and JPA designers didn't think of something similar, so I'd like to hear some (more) cons.
6 Responses to "An Idea for JPA Regarding Domain-Driven Design"
Long story short, I successfully implemented Spring DI, using @Configurable, with JPA entities. It worked fine when I created an entity with the 'new' keyword. DI did not work, however, when Hibernate reconstituted my entities. And that stands to reason. I suspect there's a workaround for this issue. I just never bothered to look for it.
I build my entities with DDD in mind. But I've never felt a strong need to use DI within my JPA entities. I only did it as an experiment for a client.
Interesting post.
I'm not quite understanding the issues you see with "detached entities in the contoller layer"? I presume the case is you create an entity there (using DI) and then want to persist it?
Pete (CDI Spec lead)
@Pete – yes, it is the case when you create an entity in the controller (or any front-end related component, that is. I use controller generically, but in case of JSF that would be the jsf managed bean). Since you usually don't have an EnitityManager injected there, you can't do em.createEntity(..). You'd have to use some other mechanism – either "new", or some delegate (like the mentioned EntityCreator, which would not be JPA-dependent)
Ok, so this is more an architectural concern/issue than a technical one (you don't want to "pollute" your controller layer with EM references?
Anyway, I would have thought the best to handle this would be to allow JPA to persist entities created using "regular" DI. To impl this, JPA would need to callback into the DI layer to "deproxy" the object just after calling em.persist(). Any other issues that I am missing about why you can't just persist any old DI object.
In CDI I guess you would do
@Inject @New Person person;
to get such an object. And in CDI only if it was non-dependent scoped would you need to deproxy it.
@Pete yes, you can easily persist anything. But when you later call `em.find(..)` (or execute a query), you won't have any dependencies injected in your object. That's where the DI can be plugged in JPA.
Very interresting post. Is there anything new one year later?
I wonder what would be the cons of accessing the BeanManager (via jndi) in the entity constructor to access a local service provided that:
1) the entities are not serialized and sended over the network
2) I know this is not DI
Thanks for this great post

Wait — UCSD planning for 45,000
5,500 new dorm beds crowd La Jolla, University City
Marty Graham 8 a.m., June 26
If you're in the Bonita area on Sunday there is a 10K to benefit local cross country teams. The course is two loops around a golf course and it is very flat. The event is claiming to be one of the fastest 10K courses in the country.
In case you're curious, 10K is 6.2 miles. I think this is the ideal distance for a local event. A 5K doesn't seem long enough and a half marathon is something to think about--unless you're training for a full marathon.
This Bonita event is a USATF sanctioned event so it is possible to set a verified record.
There should be day-of registration available.

The troubled Vuillard family is no stranger to illness, grief, and banishment, but when their matriarch requires a bone-marrow transplant, the estranged clan reunites just in time for Christmas.
The Vuillard family gathers: Junon and Abel, a daughter Elizabeth and her son Paul, Henri and a girlfriend, Ivan, his wife Sylvia and their young sons, and cousin Simon. Six years before, Elizabeth paid Henri's debts and demanded he never see her again or visit their parents' home. Paul, at 16, has mental problems and faces a clinical exam. Junon learns she needs a bone marrow transplant if she's to live beyond a few months: thus the détente bringing all together. Two family members have compatible marrow, but the spats, fights, cruel words, drunken toasts, and somewhat civilized bad behavior threaten all; plus Junon may simply refuse treatment.

Local farmers celebrated at Farm-to-Fork event
By TAMARA SCULLY
AFP Correspondent
JOHNSONBURG — Lovers of farm-fresh food flocked to the first of this summer's Farm-to-Fork dinners, held at Sweet Jane's Café on Aug. 1 here in Warren County.
The local non-profit Foodshed Alliance is hosting these fundraising dinners, where the food is locally-grown, the farmers are the focus, and the chefs are among the region's best.
At each event, farmers are celebrated for their collective vital roles in growing healthy food in the northwest corner of New Jersey, providing area residents with a healthy, sustainable local food system.
Louis Tommaso, of LL Pittenger Farm, whose lamb was a featured entree, farms just five miles away from the restaurant.
He praised the food, atmosphere and the message of the event.
While the event did carry a $100-per-ticket price tag, $35 of that was a tax-deductible donation to the Foodshed Alliance.
"It was worth every penny, just for the quality of the food itself," Tommaso said of the event.
The piano music by Andy Wasserman, guest speaker Sister Miriam MacGillis, of Genesis Farm were also featured at the event.
It was the culinary skills of Shelia Gaynor, owner and chef at Sweet Jane's Café, which stole the spotlight, according to Tommaso.
Gaynor has based her business around home-grown food, fresh-picked and locally-sourced, which is then used to create unforgettable meals.
The fundraising dinner emphasized this message, as guest enjoyed a selectionof appetizers, salads, soups, entrees and desserts, all grown locally.
"I try to keep things relatively simple," Gaynor said of her cooking style. Raw ingredients, grown with as little chemical input as possible, from sources as local as possible.
For the dinner, a vine-ripened tomato salad with homemade mozzarella, accompanied by peach or cucumber soup, demonstrated how simple produce could become gourmet fare.
"It's always been my intention" to use only local, natural ingredients and to do so in a way that conserves natural resources as much as possible, Gaynor said. The biggest challenge, she added, "is the cost of local produce."
Gaynor is working with the Foodshed Alliance, utilizing its farmer-chef program to facilitate direct purchasing from local farms. She also buys grains from the local natural foods store, and grows much of her own herbs and produce on site, as well as at her home garden nearby.
She said she uses the Foodshed Alliance's Blairstown Farmers' Market as a test market, bringing new ideas — like her risotto and zucchini tarts — to a booth there, which both gives her a way to test new dishes, and allows the Foodshed Alliance to demonstrate "cooking local" skills to market customers.
The result: Increased local food sales for the farmers.
Forty-one patrons filled the intimate venue to capacity.
Before the sit-down dinner began, Kendrya Close, executive director of the Foodshed Alliance, spoke of the difference between the price farmers are paid when food is purchased directly, versus the portion they receive as a part of the commercial, conventional food-buying system.
From a return of 90 cents per $1 for direct purchases, to 21 cents from the grocery store, the local food purchase benefits not only the farmers, but the local economy, Close said.
Farmers hire local help, purchase local supplies, eat at local establishments and stimulate the local economy without burdening municipalities, as farms require much less services (schools, emergency services, etc) than do residential developments.
After the guests were wined and dined — specially selected wines accompanied each course, from appetizer to dessert — MacGillis spoke about peak oil and the need for conservation of all of our natural resources, as well as the vital role of local food systems.
Close introduced the farms and farmers who provided food for the meal.
Frank Arena, of Arena Farms in Knowlton Township, provided the vegetables, Roman Osadca of Valley Fall Farm, Johnsonburg, provided the garlic, and Louis Tommaso provided the beef and lamb from his Green Township farm. Bob Best, Jr. of Best's Fruit Farm provided peaches, and Dennis Liiro of Sal Lee Farm provided eggs, chicken and farmstead cheeses for the event, but were unable to attend.
"The dinner truly exceeded all expectations," Close said.
The upcoming Farm-to-Fork dinner at Donaldson Farms, in Mansfield Township. on Sept. 11 is a smaller-scale, more intimate event than the previous Foodshed Alliance celebrations held on this farm each September.
This year, the dinner is a 60-person, limited-seating event, and is exclusively catered by chef Mike Carrino, owner of Restaurant Passionne, in Montclair. The food, of course, is all grown by local farmers, including Greg Donaldson, Tommaso, Best, Liiro and the Community Supported Garden at Genesis Farm
Carrino worked directly with the farmers to utilize in-season selections for the upcoming Farm-to-Fork dinner's menu, as he does at Restaurant Passionne.
Carrino travels regularly to the farms, counts the farmers as his friends, and has free access to roam around their places, acquainting himself with the animals, the crops and the landscape.
The farms from which he sources his food are his "zen spots," connecting him with the food web, and keeping him firmly on solid ground in a busy 24-hour world of restaurant ownership
"Commodity has taken over," Carrino said. "People here have completely lost the connection with where their food comes from. We need to stop, back up, and take it back 50 years."
He aims to showcase just how delectable local food can be with the five-course, plus appetizer and dessert, meal he has created in conjunction with the farmers for the dinner.
The Foodshed Alliance is also in the beginning stages of organizing a Jersey City buying club, where local farmers will cooperatively work to deliver pre-ordered food to club members weekly.
The non-profit is also working with Sustainable Blairstown on a farm-to-restaurant campaign, where local restaurants commit to spend a specified dollar amount each month on local food, in exchange for advertising and promotion.
Despite a loss of grant funding after the 2008 season, along with a change in leadership, the Foodshed Alliance is still going strong as it approaches its 10th anniversary.
Operating on a shoe-string budget, it continues to perform grass-roots advocacy developing unique programs advocating local farms.
Tickets to the upcoming Farm-to-Fork dinner at Donaldson Farms, to be held on Saturday, Sept. 11, are available via the Foodshed Alliance's website at www.foodshedalliance.org.

A role reversal of the phrase "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog". It always bothered me that the fox was brown. I always thought the dog should've been the brown one. There are halftones on the dog and under the fox.

Reed Johnson tied the game with a pinch-hit home run in the sixth inning and Marlon Byrd belted a go-ahead homer in the eighth to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 7-5 victory in the opener of their two-game series against the Florida Marlins on Wednesday at Sun Life Stadium.
Hitting for starter Ryan Dempster, Johnson launched a two-run shot to left off Marlins starter Ricky Nolasco to tie the game at 5-5.
Byrd, who had his 16-game hitting streak snapped Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds, had just one hit Wednesday, but it was a big one. He launched a towering home run to left off Edward Mujica (4-2), who allowed two runs in 1 1/3 innings of relief.
Dempster had another rough outing, allowing five runs on eight hits over five innings, but the Cubs' bullpen worked four scoreless frames. Jeff Samardzija (3-0) allowed one hit and two walks over two innings of relief for the win and Carlos Marmol recorded the final four outs for his ninth save of the season.
The Marlins took a 1-0 lead on Hanley Ramirez's home run in the first, his third blast of the season. Ramirez, who entered the contest hitting .204, went 2-for-5 and scored twice. Florida scored four runs in the fifth for a 5-3 lead, with Greg Dobbs' two-run double the key hit.
Darwin Barney had two RBIs and Koyie Hill was 3-for-3 for the Cubs, who snapped a three-game losing streak and have won five straight against Florida.
Nolasco allowed five runs - four earned - on nine hits over six innings with five strikeouts.

Just a few weeks I started listening to your podcast, number 1 first, then 2nd ... currently listening to nr. 12, thinking to skip a few to listen to your podcast about druidry first. As a druid/druicca myself, I am curious about your opinion. I love listening to your podcast, and hope much more are to come. I really like the Anenome. Love, MoonWise on RavelryReplyDelete
