This paper is an exploration of the role Israel plays for American Jews. I argue that Israel, in many cases, is seen as the body of Judaism and Jewish people. I also explore how Israel, as the "motherland" is gendered and the implications of a gendered body. Once Israel is a mother/body, I look at the ways people understand and construct the categories of "self" and "other," and work to uphold and reinforce bodily purity. Finally, I note that people who do not agree with dominant-state supported narratives will often disembody the Jewish people from Israel and point to strength in the Diaspora.
This essay explores the possibility of identifying sixteenth-century Spanish contact through the architecture of five burned structures at the Berry site (31BK22), a Mississippian period site in the Piedmont of North Carolina. Hypothesized as the location of Juan Pardo's Fort San Juan, the five structures at the Berry site may have been for the use of Juan Pardo and his soldiers. This paper examines the possibilities of identifying Spanish contact through a comparison of Mississippian Native American and sixteenth-century Spanish architectural grammars.
This research explores the role graffiti plays and has played in the lives of its creators. Using Howard Becker's concept of a deviant career as a framework, this essay interprets the issues of motivation and identity as they play out during a career in graffiti. Information was collected through formal interviews with six Asheville graffiti artists. This research challenges existing ideas surrounding graffiti as a means of attaining symbolic capital, instead suggesting that graffiti subculture is oriented toward community involvement and the attainment of fun, with the process (all aspects leading to the completion of a piece of graffiti) rather than the product (tangible pieces of graffiti) providing the ultimate motivation.
This research explores how some of the ways "being an artist" is constructed and contested in the River Arts District of Asheville, North Carolina, and how they are interpreted within a capitalist framework. Structuring my paper around the narratives embodied by objects, I quote from interviews with artists, developers, and other residents to gain an understanding of the ways that systems of semiotics overlap with economic transactions. I conclude that although art and capitalism are often conceived of as distinct spheres, they can both exist in one interaction in the River Arts District, although conversion is never complete.
This research explores the prehistoric trade of mica in the eastern United States with the purpose of determining the possible production sources of raw sheet muscovite. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry was used to detect whether trace elemental analysis is effective in determining regionally specific patterns of chemical characteristics in muscovite. While this initial analysis shows no distinctive regional characteristics of the material, more work is necessary before a conclusion is reached on whether geochemical analysis is a viable method of sourcing muscovite.
This thesis will examine the relationship of board-riders to niche media produced by and for the subcultures of surfers, skaters, and snow-boarders. This thesis will also look at the how boarder subcultural scenes are positioned as distinct from mainstream culture. This thesis will also examine why boarders represent themselves in the ways that they do and are as a group comfortable with the representations crafted in the genre of board sports niche media as iterations of their identity. This thesis is primarily concerned with aspects of the board-riding community that relate to the experience of subcultural lifestyles and niche media representations. This thesis is finally an addition to research on these subcultures and the methodologies by which media mediates the social worlds of participants and functions as a mechanism of dispersal, collection, and reaffirmation of individual and community cultural capital.
This research project presents an introductory overview of zooarchaeology, a multidisciplinary field based on the analysis of animal remains from archaeology sites. This relatively young discipline seeks to understand how and in what ways humans and animals have interacted in the past, and how these interactions have affected human culture and the environmental context in which it exists. Theoretical paradigms such as cultural ecology and specialized methods such as fine screening combine to provide useful tools with which researchers may better understand aspects of past culture such as nutrition, trade, spirituality, and social stratification, among others. After a general overview of the field is presented, this paper outlines how the author applied zooarchaeological techniques to faunal remains obtained by Warren Wilson College.

|1990 Census, China, evaluation
We describe and evaluate a one percent clustered sample of the 1990 Census of China, the largest publicly-available micro sample of any Chinese census, using direct inspection as well as comparisons with published data drawn from the complete enumeration. In the absence of official documentation, we elucidate the basis of the clustering; detect duplicate cases; report corrected totals; and make comparisons between the sample data and tabulations based on the complete enumeration at the province and county levels. Although the sample contains several anomalies, we conclude that it is broadly serviceable.

Featured chef: Zak Groh of Sur La Table
Zak Groh has been a chef in the pastry kitchen of a Scottish resort visited by Queen Elizabeth. He has cooked at a Hilton resort on the big island of Hawaii and, in Milwaukee, at Bacchus and Carnivor, and he has been the sous chef at Lake Park Bistro.
But now you will find Groh in the shiny new kitchen at Sur La Table, the upscale gourmet cooking gadget and equipment store that opened at the Bayshore Town Center May 20. A chain whose first store opened in Seattle's Pike Place Market in 1972, Sur La Table operates 94 stores across the country, and 24 of them offer an ambitious program of cooking classes.
The Bayshore shop is the first for Sur La Table in Wisconsin.
Groh presides over a spacious and gleaming kitchen considerably larger than some that serve serious Milwaukee restaurants. The facility is designed for up to 16 students to work with Groh and other chefs he will bring in to instruct.
Most classes are one-time events in the evening, with a few weekend day sessions also scheduled. Prices range from $49 to $79, and students sample the fruits of their labor.
Classes offered in June and July include Sushi 101 (Friday), Pies and Ice Cream (June 26), Canning and Preserving Workshop (July 2) and Summertime Asian Noodles (July 20). Weeklong cooking and baking camps for kids ages 8 to 12 and teens ages 13 to 17 are planned for July. They cost $350.
Groh's path to Sur La Table began at his family's Hartford custard stand, Mickey's. He worked there all through high school, and when it came time to choose a career, Groh enrolled in the culinary program at Waukesha County Technical College.
"Go with what you know. That is what I figured," the chef said while chatting in the Sur La Table kitchen. He cooked for Chef Jack's catering in Waukesha while in school, and headed to Scotland after he graduated.
The move to Hawaii was a big shock. "The food culture there is so different," he explained. "The natural larder is spectacular – all of that produce and fish."
Groh went diving for abalone and watched others spear fishing for squid, exciting experiences for a chef. But he found living in a 24/7 tourist environment was ultimately unsatisfying. He craved a sense of community and returned home to Milwaukee.
While Groh was the executive chef at Legend of Brandybrook country club in Wales he offered the members the opportunity to spend time with him in the kitchen. "I had a blast," he said. "It was great to see how I could build kitchen confidence in people.
"A lot of people think cooking is a mysterious thing – hard to grasp. Cooking is an essential life skill. It's great to share something that can so enrich our lives."
Groh said French cuisine is his favorite to eat, and he and his wife especially enjoy Le Reve in Wauwatosa. La Merenda and South Side Mexican restaurants also rank high on his list of faves.
Candy bars are Groh's guilty pleasure. Molecular gastronomy is the food topic he would most like to further explore.
Spreading his wealth of knowledge and skills is his mission.

Eric Johnsonwrote a review of Patagonia R1 Pant - Men's on April 6, 2010
There are cheaper and roughly equivalent alternatives...
You may care to look up TRU-SPEC Gen III Level 2 ECWCS Drawers instead (I did). These can be found almost anywhere for much-less-than-half-the-price-of-these. The only differences I can see are that the TRU-SPECs have:
1 - a much lower and more roomy crotch area (which some may say is not such a bad thing); and
2 - a very simple elastic waistband i.e. not covered with R1-like material.
...and of course they don't say "Patagonia."

Specifically, I'm serving up more evidence to support my bold claim that the residential real estate market just hit rock bottom (also backed up by my colleague, Karim Rahemtulla).
Then, it's on to a cautionary tale from the tape about homebuilding stocks.
So without further ado…
Can You Feel it, Baby?
I'm pretty sure the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) isn't going to hire Marky Mark to start conducting its builder confidence survey. But they should. Because homebuilders are definitely feeling "good vibrations."
Earlier in the week, the NAHB reported that the NAHB Index rose for the fifth straight month to hit 29. That's the highest level in more than four years.
Of course, we're still well below the key threshold of 50, which indicates that the majority of builders are optimistic. But as NAHB Chairman, Barry Rutenberg, said, "Builder confidence has doubled since September as measured by the HMI."
In my book, that certainly qualifies as a trend worth tracking. Especially since the Index tends to be a leading indicator for housing starts.
And wouldn't you know it? Yesterday morning the Commerce Department reported that housing starts did indeed pick up, too. Ahead of expectations.
Starts checked-in at an annual pace of 699,000. And starts for the previous month were revised upward to 689,000 from 657,000.
In the famous words of LL Cool J, "Don't call it a come back."
Not yet, anyway! But we're getting close.
The Roof, the Roof, the Roof is on Fire
Before you respond to the positive data by piling into homebuilding stocks, take a look at the next chart. It pretty much cements our belief that the stock market is a forward-looking animal.
Ever since October 2011, homebuilding stocks have been on fire! PulteGroup (NYSE: PHM) and KB Home (NYSE: KBH) have both more than doubled.
I'm afraid that's a little bit too far, too fast. You see, if we compare the valuation metrics for each homebuilder to their 10-year averages, they're trading at significant premiums.
Bottom line: As I predicted last week, the real estate market is indeed bottoming out. But you should stick to finding deals in your local real estate market, instead of buying homebuilding stocks. They've gotten too far ahead of the rebound and are overdue for a pullback.
That's it for today. Before you sign off, though, do us a favor. Let us know what you think about this weekly column – or any of our recent work at Wall Street Daily – by sending an email to email@example.com, leaving a comment on our website, or catching us on Facebook or Google+.

HOUSE PROUD; 200 Years of House, 17 Years of Renovation
By BARBARA GAMAREKIAN
Published: July 27, 1995
WASHINGTON— IN a splendid music room washed in moonlight from 10 grand and bull's-eye windows, under ceilings that soar to 15 feet, in this tidbit of early American history on a ridge overlooking the Potomac, guests sang "Happy Birthday" to John Dreyfuss. But for Mr. Dreyfuss, a 45-year-old Washington sculptor, it was just as much a celebration of the mansion that he has spent more than one-third of his life renovating.
The mansion, a 1783 Georgian jewel with a romantic and eccentric history, has for 17 years been a fascinating work in process for Mr. Dreyfuss -- and has even longer held the fancy of Georgetowners.
"This house had a reputation for being completely incomprehensible," Mr. Dreyfuss said. The puzzle Mr. Dreyfuss sought to resolve, known as Halcyon House, which he likened to "a Rubik's Cube," was a Georgian structure hidden and encased on three sides by a 20th-century Palladian addition.
What followed became one of Washington's most extensive private restorations, the final chapter in a 212-year American saga. The goal of Mr. Dreyfuss and his wife, Mary Nobel Ours, he said, "was to stabilize the structure, restore the 18th-century component and separate it" from later quirky additions and changes that had altered the persona of this sprawling 21,000-square-foot house.
In the beginning, the couple said, they didn't fully recognize the challenges ahead. "We weren't really aware of the magnitude of the task," said Ms. Ours, a portrait photographer. "I wasn't thinking, 'This is what I am going to be doing the next 10 years of my life.' "
The original landmark house was built by Benjamin Stoddert when the city of Washington consisted of 17 large farm tracks covered with woods. Stoddert, the first Secretary of the Navy and a pallbearer at George Washington's funeral, played a prominent role in persuading President Washington that the seat of government should be situated on the banks of the Potomac. For several generations, Halcyon House, with its parterre gardens designed by Pierre L'Enfant, was at the center of the young Republic's political and social life. Dolley Madison danced there at the wedding of Elizabeth Stoddert, the Secretary's daughter; affairs of state were debated around its table, a harbinger of the legendary Georgetown dinner parties to come.
In 1900, when Halcyon House was purchased by Albert Adsit Clemens, a nephew of Mark Twain, the house underwent a bizarre transformation. Mr. Clemens had a monumental front entrance constructed at street level and added wings, a clerestory library, a ballroom and a chapel, enclosing the original home on three sides with an exuberant shell. The result created what critics of the time called "an architectural nightmare." The two wings were turned into a maze of apartments and a weird geography of stairways that led to blank walls and doors that led to closets. An architectural scavenger, Mr. Clemens fiddled, "disfiguring it beyond credibility," a Historic American Building survey fumed.
Following Mr. Clemens's death in 1938, the house passed through a series of owners. In the early 1960's, Halcyon House was a dormitory for Georgetown University.
Enter John Dreyfuss, 28 at the time, a fourth-generation Washingtonian who was apprenticing as a sculptor in Connecticut. He had returned to his hometown in 1978 because of the illness of his father, Edmund Dreyfuss, a prominent architect who had formed a partnership to develop Halcyon House as a commercial investment. The younger Dreyfuss, who had an architectural degree, took over the daily management of Halcyon House.
The preservation movement was just burgeoning, Mr. Dreyfuss said, and various proposals for Halcyon House offered by development teams met resistance, not only from the United States Fine Arts Commission, which oversees historic Georgetown, but also from abutting property owners.
At one point, the partnership discussed giving Halcyon House as a gift to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. "But they respectfully declined," Mr. Dreyfuss said with a grin. "It was literally falling down. There was decaying brickwork, rotting window sills, sagging timbers; the roof was imploding; the outside walls were bulging, and the whole structure was dropping from the inside."
The Dreyfuss architectural firm and family bought out the other partners. After his father died in 1982, John Dreyfuss assumed responsibility for the restoration. He moved his sculpture studio into the ballroom, and he and his bride camped out in one of the tiny wing apartments (with their bed in the kitchen) as the renovation got under way.
Mr. Dreyfuss declined to discuss costs but said that income from renting the 14 apartments in the wings and the occasional rental of the ceremonial rooms to corporate and civic groups has helped to support the maintenance of the property. "Money is just a component of the process," he said. "It is really a test of will and stamina."
For Mr. Dreyfuss, it was a hands-on project every step of the way. He initially worked with an enthusiastic but untrained group of young people who, step by step, began the slow process of removing layers of accretion, what Mr. Dreyfuss called "unraveling the Gordian knot."

Don't do that then!
A bit more positively: You at least have three strategies here.
0. You rewrite your program to avoid the unusual syntax.
1. You can try working out what -bootstrap- is doing given your
unusual syntax, but although that might be quite interesting, I can't
see that it would help much. I wouldn't try cloning -bootstrap- and
rewriting whatever part is misinterpreting your command. That's
unlikely to be quick and you could easily mess things up. Indeed, the
problem might lurk at a much lower level: it's possibly deep within
Stata that one of your characters is being misinterpreted.
2. You might consider writing a wrapper for your program that hides
its syntax from -bootstrap-. I can't judge how feasible that is for
you, but my instinct points that way.

Top 5 Things to Do in Metro Phoenix This Week
Courtesy of Hayden Flour Mill
Fitness at the Flour Mill at Hayden Flour Mill While a workout video, the Rocky theme song, and a few raw eggs for breakfast may work well for the more self-disciplined individuals out there, the rest of us need more hands-on assistance. For those who need serious structure to sustain their workout goals but lack the funds for a high-end personal trainer, Bootcamp Monday may be just the solution. This weekly workout class lets you toughen up while slimming down. It's just one part of the free community workout series, Fitness at the Flour Mill, which also features yoga, Zumba, and hula hoop exercises.

Neodymium Reeds is part of the "Chihuly in the Garden" show at the Desert Botanical Gardens by Tacoma Artist Dale Chihuly.
Andrew Pielage
"Chihuly in the Garden" at Desert Botanical Garden He's back. World-famous glass artist Dale Chihuly returns to the Valley with a new exhibition, "Chihuly in the Garden" at Desert Botanical Garden.
Whether you've seen these intricate, vibrant pieces on display in London, Paris, or Seattle -- or caught his last stop in town, "Chihuly: The Nature of Glass" in 2008 -- this six-month long installation offers plenty of chances to study every detail and spiral of his signature blown glass.
Expect plenty of red, yellow, and green hues that play with the desert's fall light and mimic what lives in the garden. The garden itself is 140 acres and the art will be found throughout: dotting trails, hiding in plain sight.
Catch Chihuly daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Sunday, May 18. Tickets are $22; discounted admission is available for members. Reservations are highly encouraged. Call 480-941-1225 or visit www.dbg.org. -- Janessa Hilliard

Wizard of Oz at Gammage Auditorium Being evil's all the rage, we know. Angelina Jolie stars as Sleeping Beauty's antagonist in the upcoming Disney flick Maleficent. And, yeah, Wicked made us sympathize with ol' greenie. In theory, we dig the idea of turning a storyline on its ear with a POV change. The problem is that our inner straitlaced goody-two-shoes still wants to root for the classic good gals in all their uncool, nonviolent, pigtailed glory.
All this is to say, quasi-politely, eff your retelling. We'll take our seats for The Wizard of Oz at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, February 5, and happily cheer on our braided, gingham-dressed Dorothy 'til she's safe back in Kansas. We'll be glad when that wicked old witch gets hers and probably embarrass ourselves by earnestly singing along to the whole show. And probably crying. So, there.
Performances continue through Sunday, February 9, at Gammage Auditorium. Tickets are $20 and up via www.ticketmaster.com or by calling 480-965-3434. For more information, visit www.asugammage.com. -- Becky Bartkowski
Heavy Thursdays at The Heavy Pedal While the rest of the nation fights through feet of snow, Phoenicians are pounding the pavement -- not some slick, salted-down sidewalk. What better weather for a bike ride? Enter Heavy Thursdays, courtesy of bike-gang-turned-clothing brand The Heavy Pedal.
Terrence Patrick and Victor Vasquez, the company's creators, used to participate in "Lux Ride," a predominantly fixed-gear following that started at the Central Phoenix coffee shop a handful of years back. Their ride is reincarnation and extension of its predecessor -- featuring longer courses and a broader audience.
The two- to three-hour route changes weekly, with cyclists crisscrossing Phoenix and riding eastbound toward Scottsdale or Tempe. Each ride ends at the crew's brick-and-mortar warehouse, where bike enthusiasts can enjoy rehydrating or dehydrating with water, brews, and post-ride snacks. Ride off into the night starting at 8 p.m. Thursday, February 6, at 805 West Madison Street. Participation is free. Check out www.facebook.com/events/581382678605385. -- Janessa Hilliard

Jay Pharoah at Tempe Improv Jay Pharoah started on Saturday Night Live as the one of the youngest cast members and four seasons in he's hit his stride. The stand-up and comic impressionist swings through the Valley on Friday.
The Chesapeake, Virginia, native started his performer life in school and community theater productions but it was ultimately his stand-up career, which he kicked off at the age of 15, that got him to the bright lights of 30 Rock. In pre-SNL YouTube videos of Pharoah rocking impressions ranging from Denzel and Will Smith to Christopher Walken and DMX, it's easy to see the charisma and versatility that would later turn heads. We're looking forward to Pharoah's on-point Obama impersonation to lead the parade of characters.
Jay Pharoah will appear at 7:30 and 10:15 p.m. February 7 at Tempe Improv, 930 East University Road, and through Sunday. Tickets are $22 each, and more information can be found at www.tempeimprov.com. -- Jose Gonzalez

Botanical: Cypripedium pubescens (large)
Family: Orchidaceae (orchid)
Other common names: American Valerian, Nerve Root, Noah's Ark, Yellow Lady's Slipper, Cypripedium, Bleeding Heart, Moccasin Flower, Monkey Flower, Slipper Root, Venus Shoe, Yellows,
Lady's Slipper Orchid, Yellow Indian Shoe, Whippoorwill's Shoe
The root of Lady's Slipper is called "Nature's Tranquilizer" and is used primarily as a gentle tonic to calm the nerves and ease tension, anxiety and stress. Often called American Valerian, Lady's Slipper is also thought to relieve depression, recurring headaches and hyperactivity in children.

These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA and are not intended to diagnose, cure, treat or prevent disease. Individual results may vary, and before using any supplements, it is always advisable to consult with your own health care provider.
Lady's Slipper is a perennial plant that is native to the woods and meadows of North America. The fleshy rootstock produces several round, hairy stems with alternate leaves and characteristic golden yellow flowers, lined with purple, blooming from May to July. This beautiful member of the orchid family has a characteristic lower lip that forms an inflated sac, which suggests the shape of a moccasin, thereby giving the plant one of its common names, Moccasin Flower. Lady's Slipper is a pungent, bittersweet herb with an unpleasant odor and thrives in moist, humus-rich soil in an open or shady situation, growing to about two feet in height. Like many other native orchids, Lady's Slipper is becoming increasingly rare, and its history as an ornamental is as rich as its distinguished medicinal past. The plant was widely employed by Native Americans as a tranquilizer, and the early settlers found that it was a good substitute for the garden heliotrope (Valerian) that women and children had used as a sedative in Europe. They began to refer to the plant as American Valerian, and by the mid-nineteenth century, doctors were prescribing the root for hysteria, delirium, irritability, muscle twitches, epilepsy and neuralgia. Although called American Valerian, because of its calming properties, Lady's Slipper is less potent than Valerian, and the roots of several varieties of this plant (Cypripedium pubescens/ larger and Cypripedium parviflorum/ smaller) were included in the United States Pharmacopœia from 1863 to 1916. Lady's Slipper is a complex resinoid substance and includes cypridenin.
Beneficial Uses:
Lady's Slipper is mainly used as a nervine, tonic and herbal anti-depressant that gently strengthens the functional activity of the nervous system. As such, it has been used by generations to relieve hysteria, general nervousness, delirium tremens, tension, anxiety, nervous depression, irritability, recurring headaches and a relief for all stress. Its relaxing qualities are also considered helpful for reducing hyperactivity in children.
As a mild sedative, Lady's Slipper is said to be effective in easing chronic insomnia and restlessness and is especially useful during those times when "the brain just won't shut off," and it allows sleep. Lady's Slipper is considered superior because it is non-narcotic sedative.
Lady's Slipper is considered an antispasmodic and has been helpful for relieving cramps and muscle spasms and twitches. With its additional ability to relieve nervous conditions, it has also been used in the past to ease epilepsy.
Lady's Slipper helps to relieve neuralgia, which is a severe, throbbing or stabbing pain along the course of a nerve. It is also thought to be useful in relieving Bell's Palsy.
As a diaphoretic, Lady's Slipper is said to increase perspiration, which ultimately cools the body and eases intermittent fevers.
Pregnant and nursing women should not use Lady's Slipper Herbal Supplement without first consulting with their health care providers. Overuse (many times the recommended dose) may cause hallucinations. Handling the plant may cause an allergic reaction.

Well, pb27r630 to 1.2b6 is a huge jump. Try 1.11, which is the latest
release version. If that works, try 1.2b3, which is the latest beta based
on FreeBSD 4.10. This sounds like it's most likely a driver issue.
Beware that backward config conversions don't necessarily work, so you may
need to restore (or recreate) your pb27r630 config to go back to 1.11.

www.computerworld.com –
Computer Associates International Inc. yesterday released an upgraded version of a software tool that lets business managers modify applications as corporate needs change, adding a Web-based user interface and other new features to the package.
The Aion 9.0 tool, which grew out of CA's 1999 acquisition of Platinum Technology Inc., can also be integrated with the Islandia, N.Y.-based vendor's Neugents predictive-analysis technology and its Jasmine ii application development and e-business software.
Neugents, a neural-network-based technology that uses advanced pattern-recognition and neural network techniques to find patterns within large amounts of data, can be called from within Aion applications to supply business-related predictions, CA said. In turn, the predictions can be used to determine how to change existing applications.
The Aion software is aimed not at IT workers but at business managers who want to change the business rules built into their corporate applications. For example, Carpenter Technology Corp., an alloy manufacturer in Reading, Pa., is using the tool to develop a consistent approach for updating business rules related to order entry and other internal processes.
When that work was done manually, Carpenter "had people trying to remember all the different steps needed to manufacture a particular product," said Kathleen Nevel, manager of technical services systems at the company. With Aion, she added, business rules are kept in a database and can be reused or updated whenever changes have to be made in functions such as the way products are routed through Carpenter's manufacturing plants.
CPI Corp., a portrait studio chain based in St. Louis that operates more than 1,000 retail outlets, has bought the Aion technology to help interpret sales data and other business information sent in by its stores on a daily basis. The tool is expected to help CPI's business managers "to see what products we have that are actually being used in the stores and how they're used," said Steve Skinner, a technology specialist at the company.
The software also should help "make sure all the basic business rules we have are enforced," Skinner added. In addition, CPI expects to use Aion to monitor the rules built into its systems to measure whether the Internet could be better utilized in gathering the business data from the stores, he said.

In the wake of yesterday's Obamacare ruling, an analysis from Avalere Health showed that Americans who signed up for the Affordable Care Act could see dramatic increases in their health care premiums. Specifically:
- In New Hampshire, premiums for those who have subsidies could jump 70-74%.
- According to the project director for Covering New Hampshire, 77% of Granite Staters who signed up for the Affordable Care Act received subsidies.
- That's over 31,000 people that would see their health care costs increase by over 70 percent.

LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera will miss at least a week after being struck in the right eye by a hard grounder.
Cabrera received eight stitches, but Tigers President and general manager Dave Dombrowski said Tuesday that Cabrera's vision is "perfect" and he won't go on the disabled list.
"We'll know a lot more in a week," Dombrowski said. "If he wants to go relax he can go home, and he's always welcome here (in Lakeland)."
Cabrera said he's not in pain after being hit on Monday off a hard one-hop shot by Philadelphia's Hunter Pence. He was wearing sunglasses for one of the first times in his career.
"Thank God, I had my sunglasses on," Cabrera said. "It just took a bad hop and I was unlucky. I am confident I can play on opening day."
Cabrera is moving from first base to third after the Tigers signed Prince Fielder as a free agent. Dombrowski said there were imprints from the ball on the sunglasses.
"It's part of the game," Cabrera said. "I can see out of my eye."

Advanced Division Spring Cake
Cake in the advanced spring category. It got 3rd. Fondant covered cake that was then sponged with royal icing to give texture. "Dirt" is dark brown sugar, all the vegetables and rocks for the path are fondant. Bunny, cow, bird on fence, sheep, ducks, and chickens are all fondant/gumpaste. The sheep was then piped with royal icing to do the "wool". The baby duck is tail-up in the pond, the bunny took a carrot out, and the chicken actually has eggs underneath it. Fun cake to do.

A Kentucky high school teacher was reprimanded by her school district this week for writing on her whiteboard "You can't be a Democrat + go to heaven."
Kendra Baker has been teaching high school for seventeen years.
After Election Day, she overheard one of her students at South Laurel County High School utter those words, and decided to put it on the whiteboard for all to see.
One student in attendance took a picture of it and gave it to the Board of Education as well as the Sentinel-Echo.
After some investigation, the Board determined Baker had violated district policy No. 8.1353 which states that teachers must create an atmosphere in the classroom that's conducive to learning, mutual respect, and trust.
The code also specifies that teachers are responsible for developing positive self-concepts and self-confidence so that students respect the worth and dignity of others.
The school reprimanded Baker by requiring she apologize to her students.
Unfortunately, the incident resulted in one student leaving the school.
Lexington's NBC TV affiliate reported Monday that Chelsea Gilbert was ridiculed when she tried to stick up for others in her class.
Her mother told Lex 18, "You don't send them to school to have someone else's opinion shoved down their throat and demand they agree with it. It's appalling. It's wrong,"
Gilbert will now be home-schooled as a result.

Navigating life while following my daughter.
M seems to be in a bit of a growth spurt. This is already her third meal of the day and it's only 10AM. Apples and toast with jam, for both of us. I love the way little kids eat something they really like. With gusto, without abandon. I love the little jam faces that ensue. It reminds me of how young she still really is because she can get away with it and not be self-conscious when she eats like so many of us adults are. Soundtrack: open window with sparrows in a heated debate about who gets to perch in the shrub underneath, too many noisy airplanes (pitfall of living in a travel lane to Logan!), two lawnmowers letting us know that spring is officially here to stay, and M's endless questions while we eat, like this one just now: Are there any people who don't have heads? Love our jam sessions!
Copyright (c) 2013 Kristen M. Ploetz
A few months ago I was at my nephews' birthday party (turning 1 and 3). As I was approaching the bin of kid-friendly drinks to grab a juice box for M, a parent whom I'd never met before (and in all likelihood I will probably never see again unless it's at next year's party, and even then I won't remember her) reached in to the bin next to me and said something along the lines of "oh, this is a special treat – we never have these in our house". I thought it was kinda funny, considering I wasn't making a judgment call either way — hey, it's a party! Of course the drinks should be fun!
I've heard other parents say things like this too, like at the bakery when a mom with kids in tow will look at me and say "oh, we don't do this everyday!", like she feels the need to explain why they're in line for a cookie. Yet, I'm standing in this very same line with M for a special treat that she and I will indulge in from time to time. I hope it doesn't look like I'm in line every day! Or I've had friends–people whom I've known for many, many years, and who, I hope, know that I know they have great judgement–say things like "oh, we don't usually buy these things (cookies, easy-to-make-on-a-playdate-foods, etc.), but since you were coming over…."
Comments like these strike me as funny. It's like parenting on the defensive. And I'm guessing it's happening because it's meant to ward off judgement or declare your overall values and lifestyle proactively in the critic-filled sphere of life called parenting, lo there be any misconceptions. Yet, I don't think I've heard too many adults say "I normally don't have three beers like this!" when I'm hanging out at a backyard BBQ, or "I really don't eat cake like this every day!" when I'm out to lunch with a friend. As adults, it seems like we mostly just enjoy the spoils of whatever moment we're in, all with a "take me as I am" attitude. It seems curious that it wasn't usually happening that way with what the kids were doing. Smugly, I thought I was different from "them".
But then I heard myself saying these same kinds of things just two nights ago when I was letting M have a small handful of mini-marshmallows and watch some kid-friendly TV in another room for a few minutes during the Patriots' football game (hooray for a big win!) while two of our friends were over. Why did I do this?, I asked myself later. I really don't think that our neighbors cared whether M was washing down more than her fair share of goldfish crackers with some juice, when we had all just indulged in quite a spread of football fete foods like cheese stuffed jalapenos (graciously made by our awesome neighbors!) and of course a few beers. And weren't we all just sitting around for three hours staring at the boob tube and not constructing Lincoln Log houses, painting watercolors or otherwise expanding our minds? Did it really require me to go out of my way to mention that she doesn't otherwise watch much TV? No, it did not.
Despite my initial smugness, I'm sure, in fact I know, it is not the first time I have said something like that. I certainly have a small collection of friends whom, for reasons I cannot seem to explain—other than some irrational and base fear of judgement that still remains from my high school days—I feel compelled to point out when I am in line with their own parenting judgement calls. Almost like a twisted form of one-upness or getting in with the "in crowd". And with strangers, I'm pretty certain I said a lot of these kinds of things in the context of seeming like I have to announce my values through what I say about how we raise M. Yet, before having M, I must have found another way to get my point across, to the extent that it's even necessary or relevant.
So it's time for me to stop it already. I know how she eats on a daily basis, and I know overall it's healthy. So the occasional treat is not a problem, and I don't need to go out of my way to give strangers or anyone else a complete breakdown of her weekly nutrient intake in order to feel comfortable with letting her eat a cookie or one too many PB&Js from time to time in the presence of others. I know how (little) TV she watches from week to week, and we, as her parents, are OK with that, even if it seems like she can rattle off the names of too many kid-friendly shows. I'm going to quit it with quantifying how much weekly screen time is actually taking place in our house. If people think it's 24/7, so be it. I know the truth, and that's what counts.
I hope that other parents guilty of this confession-style parenting will join me. Let's just agree that we all know that each other's kid is eating flax and broccoli for breakfast while reading Dickens, but that here, right now at this party/BBQ/playdate/beach gathering, we can all just enjoy and indulge in some unapologetic and judgement-free good fun without having to qualify it first. Now pass me the chips.

Two nights ago we dusted off a book from the shelf in M's room that we hadn't read in quite a while, Hungry Mr. Gator, by Julie McLaughlin. It was a gift a few years ago from M's grandparents living in South Carolina, where the author also happens to be from. We had put it on the shelf for a while because at the end of the book the alligator eats a bunch of fish. Because the book does not mince words, the fatal ending does kind of take you by surprise, considering it's a kid's book and all. Not that we try to shield her from the nitty gritty of nature, but at the time she had received it, she was a bit young in our eyes so we shelved it for a bit. But she's not too young anymore.
Still, I was curious about what her reaction would be at the end of the book, especially considering she recently tried to watch Cinderella but got afraid in the first ten minutes when Lucifer (the cat) chases the cute mice. At worst, I was expecting a brief pre-bedtime slumber discussion about alligators eating fish. I was ready for it.
This is the conversation that ACTUALLY took place, both out loud and in my head:
M: [A few pages in, M notices a colorful frog] You can't touch the colored frogs because they have poison. Why do they have poison? (I'm thinking to myself, oh! that's great — they must be learning about frogs at preschool. How cute.)
Me: It warns other animals not to eat them because it might make them sick. (Hmm…guess her preschool teacher didn't get that far into the lesson plan…)
M: Do people eat frogs? (Fair question. She's so inquisitive! Can't wait to finish this book so I can go have a glass of wine….)
Me: Some do. (No sense in sugar coating survival of the fittest now…)
M: Do people eat sheep? (OK….there are NO sheep in this book…where is this going??)
Me: Some people do. (For the past couple of years, we have not eaten any chicken, turkey, beef, sheep or any other kind of animal except the very occasional piece of fish, so maybe she just doesn't yet realize that the majority of people in the world do eat these things on a regular basis. No worries! I'm happy, delighted even, to have this little opportunity to the highlight the culinary diversity that is all around us.)
M: How do they fit the sheep in the pot? (Wait, what? OOOOOKKKK….this is NOT where I thought we'd end up with this book! How did we go from poison frogs to sheep in a pot in 30 seconds?)
Me: Well, they have to cut it into smaller pieces, kind of like the fish you sometimes eat. (My lame attempt to put it into relevant terms….and REALLY hoping that she moves on.)
M: How do they cut it up? (I give her a brief blank stare…)
Me: Well, they first need to make the animal stop breathing. (Is it getting hot in here??)
M: How do they do that? (Cue the images I already have stored in my brain from various animal welfare groups…and where is your Dad right now? Oh, great, he's already asleep on the floor, or at least pretending to be so that he doesn't have to answer these questions!)
Me: Well, there are different ways… (NO idea where I am even going to go with this at this point…)
M: [interrupting me before I can even finish my answer] How do they make chickens stop breathing? (OK so she DOES know other people eat chicken…gee, silly me….)
Me: Well….(again, still playing the loop of footage in my brain of how this usually goes down for most birds…) they put them in a bath of water that has some strong electric current going through it that makes them stop breathing and living.
M: Oh….OK, keep reading, Mommy.
And here I was worried about the alligator eating some silly old fish.

When Cloudera first launched the Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop I wrote, "I've typically been down on a support or services-based open source business. However, in the case of Cloudera, this model makes sense -- for now."
Since I wrote that in March, the string of open source vendors shifting away from selling support to selling products, sometimes under the guise of subscriptions, has marched onward. I'm happy to report that Cloudera is following the product path with today's beta release of Cloudera Desktop.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Cloudera simplifies Hadoop with easy-to-use GUI | Stay up to speed with the open source community via InfoWorld's Technology: Open Source newsletter. ]
Simply put, Cloudera Desktop makes Hadoop easier to use and manage, which is how the press release describes the product. After watching the demo, I couldn't find a more apt description.
Data that enterprises collect daily is critical to business decisions. However, there's a problem. Waiting for IT developers to write analysis algorithms to process the data is sometimes suboptimal, especially for smaller and less complex analysis jobs. That's where Cloudera Desktop steps in.
Cloudera Desktop is targeted at not only developers and administrators, but also business analysts. Opening up the power of Hadoop to nondevelopers increases the utility of Hadoop in the enterprise. Clearly, business analysts, who often possess scripting skills, will not be able to design algorithms to process complex data analysis tasks. Hence, the need for Hadoop developers and developer tools does not disappear, but the broad scale success of Hadoop and Cloudera in the enterprise rides on the coattails of business users, not developers.
To really hit it out of the park, Cloudera will have to make it even easier for business analysts to use Hadoop. Precanned business-focused scripts are a start. Getting away from scripting altogether should be the long-term goal for the business user segment. Let business users create analysis jobs by dragging and dropping artifacts, actions, and complex algorithms created by developers onto a job creation pane. Put the scripts in the background so that the business user can always customize the job's behavior. If Cloudera can pull this off and win the business user segment, they'll be hard to beat in the enterprise Hadoop market.
Good luck to them.

AT&T rated above Verizon for Seattle service
Verizon still tops in rural areas
Updated 8:09 am, Tuesday, June 18, 2013
Two weeks after one review found AT&T had caught longtime leader Verizon Wireless for best Seattle service, another says AT&T is faster here.
"AT&T had the fastest network across Seattle and Bellevue, with much faster sustained upload and download speeds than Verizon Wireless," PC Magazine wrote Monday.
As in the RootMetrics report released earlier this month, T-Mobile and Sprint finished third and fourth, respectively. PC Magazine did, however, report that Sprint had the fasted average download speed for Web pages, thanks to its network design, and said after a preview of T-Mobile's coming LTE: "we really liked what we saw."
The Seattle rating mirrors what PC Magazine found nationwide, with AT&T leading in all regions.
"AT&T's LTE network was the fastest overall in our 30 cities," PC Magazine wrote. "In our first truly fair fight between LTE networks, AT&T came through with faster upload and download speeds overall than Verizon Wireless."
But Verizon still has better service is suburban and rural areas, according to PC Magazine.
Latest business videos
Beyond our 30 cities, coverage really mattered, and only one LTE network has nationwide coverage: Verizon 4G LTE. With Verizon's LTE network the only one of its kind in the running, it aced every rural/suburban region and blew away the competing national networks.
So it depends, apparently, on whether your priority is fastest service in cities, or best coverage outside of town.
In a news release, AT&T reported that it "invested nearly $98 billion into operations, more than any other public company in the U.S." over the last five years. This includes more than $1.8 billion in Washington from 2010 through 2012, with more than 1,250 wireless network upgrades in the state last year.
"As a result, AT&T launched 4G LTE in the greater Seattle area, Aberdeen, Anacortes, Camano Island, Centralia, Longview, Mount Vernon, Shelton, Port Townsend, Pullman, Spokane, Tacoma, and Whidbey Island during the past nine months," the company said.

MCB Volunteer Spotlight
Katya Riasanovsk
May 2010's MCB Volunteer Spotlight features Katya Riasanovsk. In March of 2010, Riasanovsky began work as the Pro Bono Coordinator with Legal Services of the Southern Piedment (LSSP) and Legal Aid of North Carolina's (LANC) joint Pro Bono Project. She will help connect Mecklenburg County attorneys with pro bono opportunities at LSSP and LANC.
The joint Pro Bono Project is funded through the NC State Bar IOLTA and expands and coordinates LSSP and LANC's pro bono efforts. Riasanovsky works with volunteer attorneys, matching the volunteers to clients and then coordinating support for the volunteer attorneys on specific cases. She is also focused on pro bono projects with law firms.
Volunteers are matched to cases based on immediate need and the volunteer's preference for type of legal work. Cases range from IRS tax disputes, to securing domestic violence protective orders, to housing and consumer fraud cases.
Riasanovsky herself is a volunteer, previously working with Habitat for Humanity, Urban Ministries, Friendship Trays, Fort Mill School District, and The Haven Mens Shelter all in a volunteer capacity. She has a BA in Political Science from Wellesley College and an MBA from The Pennsylvania State University. She is a 20-year veteran of Springs Global, working in various management positions.
After growing up in Pennsylvania, Riasanovsky has lived in Mecklenburg and York Counties for 14 years. She now lives in Fort Mill, SC with her two teenage sons. Most recently she served as the interim Executive Director for The Haven's Men Shelter in York County. During her time at the Shelter she oversaw an expansion of shelter programs and client services.
The Pro Bono Project is one of the reasons that LSSP and LANC together are able to provide Access to Justice for more than 5,000 low-income clients each year. We have more than 300 attorneys prepared to work with clients in need on their individual cases and several law firms in Charlotte are also coordinating internal pro bono projects providing assistance with wills and advanced directives, Medicaid, unemployment insurance and landlord tenant issues.
In just the short time that I have been working with LSSP, LANC and our volunteers from the Bar, it is clear how much of an impact the legal work our volunteers do have on the lives of our clients, says Riasanovsky. It is also clear how much of an impact working with our clients has on our volunteers.
As partners with the Mecklenburg County Bar's Volunteer Lawyer Program, please contact MCB staff liaison to the Project, Heather Blackley at email@example.com if you or your firm are interested in a volunteer case or coordinating a firm-wide pro bono project with either LSSP or LANC.

Can the Voters Change the GOP?
Posted on Aug 4, 2014
The central issue in this fall's elections could turn out to be a sleeper: What kind of Republican Party does the country want?
Square, Story page, 2nd paragraph, mobile
Solving the country's problems requires, above all, turning the Republican Party back into a political enterprise willing to share the burdens of governing, even when a Democrat is in the White House.
For those looking for a different, more constructive Republicanism, this is not a great year to stage the battle. Because of gerrymandering, knocking the current band of Republicans out of control of the House is a herculean task. And most of the competitive seats in the fight for the Senate are held by Democrats in Republican states. The GOP needs to win six currently Democratic seats to take over, and it appears already to have nailed down two or three of these. Republicans are now favored in the open seats of South Dakota and West Virginia, and probably also in Montana.
Nonetheless, there is as yet no sense of the sort of tide that in 2010 gave a Republicanism inflected with tea party sensibilities dominance in the House. The core narrative of the campaign has yet to be established. Democrats seeking re-election are holding their own in Senate races in which they are seen as vulnerable.

The bill that House Speaker John Boehner was trying to pass last Thursday already tilted well-rightward. It provided Obama with only a fraction of what he said was needed to deal with the crisis—$659 million, compared with the president's request for $3.7 billion. It also included provisions to put deportations on such a fast track that Obama threatened to veto it. A White House statement said that its "arbitrary timelines" were both impractical and inhumane.
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi happened to be meeting with a group of journalists when the bill collapsed. "In order for them to pass a bill, they had to make it worse and worse and worse," she said, referring to Boehner's efforts to placate members who have entered into an unusual cross-chamber alliance with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, to foil even conservative legislation if they regard it as insufficiently pure. When the bill was pulled back, Pelosi observed: "They couldn't make it bad enough."
On Friday, the GOP leadership pushed the measure still further right and added $35 million for border states to get it passed at an unusual evening session—but not before Republicans themselves had complained loudly about dysfunction in their own ranks.
In the meantime, the Senate was paralyzed on the issue by filibusters and other procedural hurdles that have rendered majority rule an antique notion in what once proudly proclaimed itself "the world's greatest deliberative body."
Last week's legislative commotion could change the political winds by putting the costs of the GOP's flight from moderation into stark relief. House Republicans found themselves in the peculiar position of simultaneously suing Obama for executive overreach and then insisting that he could act unilaterally to solve the border crisis.
Pelosi, for her part, went out of her way to praise "the Grand Old Party that did so much and has done so much for our country." Commending the opposing party is not an election year habit, but her point was to underscore that Republicans had been "hijacked" by a "radical right wing" that is not simply "anti-government" but also "anti-governance."
On balance, Washington gridlock has hurt Democrats more than Republicans by dispiriting moderate and progressive constituencies that had hoped Obama could usher in an era of reform. The key to the election will be whether Democrats can persuade these voters that the radical right is the real culprit in their disappointment—and get them to act accordingly on Election Day.

Medical Definition of Stomach
Stomach: The digestive organ that is located in the upper abdomen, under the ribs. The upper part of the stomach connects to the esophagus, and the lower part leads into the small intestine. When food enters the stomach, muscles in the stomach wall create a rippling motion (peristalsis) that mixes and mashes the food. At the same time, juices made by glands in the lining of the stomach help digest the food. After about 3 hours, the food becomes a liquid and moves into the small intestine, where digestion continues.

Hot Cars Still Killing Kids
It doesn't take long for a heated car to kill a child who was left behind. Houston police offer a series of suggestions to help avoid a tragedy like that. Senior officer Barry Curtis says a parent should leave a purse or a briefcase in the seat next to the child, so they won't forget.
"Take off your left shoe and put it back there, because as soon as you stepped out you'd see you wouldn't have your shoe," Curtis says. "Then you'd have to retrieve your shoe and, of course, your child as well."
Shoppers in Katy broke out a car window to save a boy and girl. Officer Curtis says don't worry about criminal complaints if you do that. You would be protected by Good Samaritan laws.
"(They) will supercede," he says, "when the life of a child is at stake."
