To the Editor,
Israel is often portrayed as being the Jewish David continuously threatened by the Arabic Goliath. While the well-oiled Israeli lobby media machine perpetuates and re-enforces this image, nothing is further from the truth.
In reality, Israel is a nation that is a danger to world and regional peace, and a danger to itself and to Jews in the Diaspora.
Israel has the largest standing army in the Middle-east. This army has the most modern and technologically advanced weaponry available. This alone seriously challenges the contention that Israel's existence is in question.
Israel has in the order of 150- 200 nuclear weapons and follows what is called a policy of Opacity, that is, it neither confirms nor denies that it has a nuclear arsenal. No other country in the Middle-east, at this time, has nuclear weapons. Israel has steadfastly refused to sign the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT, 1970), banning nuclear weapons, which has been signed by 190 countries. Thus, Israel joins rouge countries like India, Pakistan, South Sudan and North Korea as a nation that threatens world peace.
Israel over the years has refused to comply with at least 120 UN General Assembly and Security Council resolutions condemning its various policies and actions in the in Occupied Territories. In short, Israel picks and chooses those international conventions and accords that it wishes to adhere to and ignores the others.
Israel uses the "external threat" argument as a way to create internal social and political cohesion to paper over profound internal problems and contradictions.
Israel was originally founded on the basis of secular Labourite Zionism. But as the rabid religious right has exerted its influence, as evidenced by its illegal settlements in the West Bank, those ideals have been ignored. Israel is increasingly becoming a polarized, stratified, and fractured society.
For example, two summers ago, more than 100,000 people demonstrated in Tel Aviv against poverty, and social stratification is based on whether one is an original immigrant (Sabra), or a European or North African Jew.
Perhaps one of the most condescending, ugly, and self-serving assertions made by those who mindlessly and unquestionably support Israel's policies, in an attempt to bolster ethnic solidarity and crush internal dissent, is that Jews who challenge Israeli policy are either "Self-hating Jews " or are "anti-Semites." Not only is such an assertion circular or tautological, it is based on equating Judaism with Zionism, despite the fact that Judaism is a religion, while Zionism is an ideology.
Zionism and Judaism are not the same.
Recently in Tel Aviv on Aug. 16, 2014, 10,000 people came out to protest the Israeli invasion of the Gaza. Are all these Israeli protesters and peaceniks "self-hating "and "anti-Semitic" Jews?
Israel, based on its actions in the Gaza, is no longer, "A light unto the nations," and should embrace the vision of its universal prophets.

|Osage Hills Golf Course
Additional Golf Course Reviews:
|Quail Ridge Golf Course -- Great Learning Course
|Review by: Jason S. Bruce
|A very fair, playable course. Gives the novice an opportunity to try their skills without extreme risk. It also will challenge the low handicap golfer with it's terrain and hazard placement. The par 5's are scattered on the course so as to challenge you at the most critical times. Holes 8 through 12 will leave you feeling as though you've run a marathon only to have very delicate par 3's ahead.

Ultra-Light Left-Handed
A left-handed compact steel string acoustic-electric you can take anywhere.
The Ultra-Light Left-Handed is the smallest, lightest left-handed full-scale acoustic/electric travel guitar ever made. Our proprietary In-Body tuning system uses standard tuning machines relocated into the body to create a guitar that has a full-scale neck, yet is substantially shorter than full size electrics. The lack of a headstock and a small, ergonomic body allow the guitar to be 31% shorter and 43% lighter than a full size acoustic, all while preserving the same full-scale playing experience you're used to.
Complete with a Shadow acoustic piezo pickup and a standard 1/4 inch output you can plug this directly into your favorite amp or recording device. The guitar weighs just under three pounds and is only 28 inches long so it can go where you go. The lap rest can be stowed for storage and transportation, allowing the guitar to fit easily in an airline overhead compartment in the included gig bag.
The Traveler Guitar Ultra-Light is the perfect solution for traveling left-handed players unwilling to compromise on scale length, but still looking for the smallest and lightest solution available.

The Procurement Card (PCard) is a MasterCard credit card, which can be used for approved purchases up to $5,000 of all non-restricted commodities from any supplier that accepts MasterCard as a form of payment. The PCard provides a faster, more efficient way to purchase lower dollar goods however cannot be used as payment for certain restricted items.
Fraudulent and/or misuse of the card is grounds for revoking Procurement Card privileges and may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Non-Tufts employees, temporary and student employees are not eligible for Procurement Cards.
PCard receipts involving purchases made on a Grant:
As a result of the TSS announcement on September 8, 2015, that due to system enhancements being made, individuals making purchases via their P-cards would now have the ability to upload copies of the transaction documentation directly into PeopleSoft.
Sponsored Programs Accounting (SPA) requests that all grant holding departments begin uploading their P-card receipts into Peoplesoft. SPA understands that with all the integrations of new processes and system changes, as well as competing priorities, that this may take some time to accomplish. It is the expectation that 7/1/16 this will be done consistently throughout all departments that have grant related P-card charges.
As a reminder, Procurement Card purchases must be supported by at least one of the following items:

Research suggests that the explicit teaching of morphological principles will improve children's spelling. Despite the fact that reference is made to morphology in English policy documents, teachers make limited use of morphology when teaching spelling, relying more heavily on phonic and visual strategies. After attending a course on role of morphemes in spelling, teachers' own awareness of morphology increased and this was reflected in their practice. This in turn caused their pupils to make significant gains in spelling, compared to a control group. This reinforces the proposition that explicit instruction about morphemes is helpful to children's learning. It demonstrates the fact that research can be transformed into teacher practice, but it also illustrates the difficulties. Policy documentation alone is insufficient. Professional development can effect change but this may be hard to sustain. Children's gains are contingent on teacher's continuing to dedicate class time to focussed intervention.

TURIN -- Canada's women's hockey team is human after all.
Yes, the Canadians actually gave up a goal yesterday.
Just when it was supposed to get tough, Canada continued its romp through the Turin Olympics tournament by whipping Sweden 8-1 yesterday.
The Canadians upped their record to 3-0 at the Games, but saw their shutout streak come to an end at 156 minutes 12 seconds. Canada advanced to Friday's semi-final against Finland, which led the U.S. 3-1 yesterday before surrendering six straight goals in a 7-3 setback.
"We're just trying to play the best hockey we can and go out there and get the job done," Canadian forward Daniel Goyette said. "We played well as a team and we want to keep improving as the tournament goes on."
The win over Sweden came 24 hours after Canada was ripped by U.S. defenceman Angela Ruggiero for running up the score on the host Italians 16-0 in the opener Saturday.
"I'm upset that Canada has been running up the score, especially against the host nation," Ruggiero told SI.com.
"There was no need for that. They're trying to pad their stats."
The Canadians didn't seem to care about what Ruggiero had to say about them.
"We don't think about that stuff and we're not concerned about it either," Canadian forward Cherie Piper said. "We're focused on trying to win the gold medal and we're certainly not thinking about what anybody is saying about us."
Gillian Apps led Canada yesterday with three goals.

'Million Dollar Listing' Star Ryan Serhant Goes Inside New York's $100 Million Apartments (EXCLUSIVE GUEST BLOG)
For all real estate-related questions, feel free to tweet Serhart @ryanserhant. He will answer one reader question per-blog.
Even in a sluggish economy, apartment listings here in New York City are reaching epic proportions. In fact, some are now going for prices in the $100 million range.
No, I'm not joking. In the last few months alone, I have seen multiple listings in that range. Many of these sales were fueled by the recent purchase of a $90 million penthouse, located inside a building that is — wait for it — still under construction.
So, just who is buying these $100 million homes?
On first thought, one might assume that A-list celebrities like Beyonce and Jay-Z or Gwyneth Paltrow are shelling out big bucks to live in these luxurious pads.
In reality, it's the hedge funders and foreign buyers from countries like China, Russia and Brazil who are gobbling them up.
Ekaterina Rybolovleva, the 22-year-old daughter of Russian billionaire Dmitriy Rybolovlev, recently dropped a whopping $88 million to live at 15 Central Park West, a building known for its high-priced apartments and stunning views of the Park.
Not only does that price tag give her 6,744 square feet of space to work with, she now has the chance to hob-nob with celebrity neighbors like Sting, Denzel Washington and Alex Rodriguez.
But while $88 million may sound like a lot of money to spend on an apartment, the payoff is often worth it for perspective buyers, as New York has become a safe place to invest in real estate. Even if the buyer chooses not to live inside the property, they can still rent it out for a hefty price, sometimes at $50,000 per-month.
If you're one of the lucky few who is in the market to buy an apartment in the $100 million range — because, let's face it, who isn't? — you can always snatch up a penthouse inside the Ritz-Carlton for a mere $95 million. Or, you could try a three-level, 8,000 square-foot apartment for a higher price, at $100 million.
Fun fact: The owner of said apartment purchased it for $4.5 million back in 1993. In other words: That's a $95 million profit over 20 years.
As it turns out, my friends, investing in America is a good idea after all.

Elonwy...if you're planning on having more kids, try the "it will be a great tradition for older siblings" argument. We feel bad now that we didn't do it for DS1, but will be doing it for the other two kids ;) We have awesome pics of DS1 in his jammies eating his brother's birthday cake in bed, he still remembers it :)
We don't plan on having more than one at the moment. We're both onlies, so are comfortable with that. However I just talked to him about it again and he said "so you eat the cake and then a few hours later the baby sorta does" which made me laugh. Then I explained the whole making it while in labor and he really liked that. He takes a while to think about things sometimes. :)
married to Mike Mama to my furry babies just gave birth to our first DS.
Celebrating today. A friend of mine who was due next month with her twins had them yesterday. Both good size for early twins (4 13 and 5 9), both born naturally and both doing well.
My arms ache. In part May can't come fast enough. On the other hand, I've got so much to do...
Me: DH: DD: DS1: DS2:
elonwy - having similar computer issues but didn't lose anything near as big as a huge paper... and still I was about to bang my head off walls scream and cry. So sorry about your distress!!!!
Why... oh why... I'm so good until I get tripped up... then I'm such a mess. And so tired.
Anna, married to my soulmate, loving on DS (4)
I crave dark beer when pregnant (which is hard) so with my son I had my first beer less than a week later at his first trip to the pub. This time I am planning on putting a Guiness in the labour bag. Other people bring champange, so why not.
With nursing I have always followed the safe to drive safe to nurse rule. That means one drink for me, which is all I ever want anyways.
Ok, so with all the general mommywisdom that we have floating around here, when, after birth, is it generally ok to have an alcoholic drink?
I have only had three craving this entire pregnancy: oj, guacamole, and a margarita.
I know I'll need to ask my dr but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask here, too.
We are working on the all the paperwork to buy a house mid april (when I am 37 weeks) and the stress of that, plus toddler, plus pregnant is getting to me. Had a good cry along with my son this morning. Then we nursed for more than half an hour. I seem to have more milk this past week. Nursing really does help make it all better.
Mama to J (Jan '09), E (May '11), and C (August, '13)
Professional Cloth Diaper at Diaper Lab in Boston (ask me about laundry)
Caught up, read it all, love you guys!!!!
I have had the occasional sip of beer and wine throughout my pregnancy. I've not really wanted any more than that, but I have loved a sip of good beer every few weeks and ditto with a little sip of wine here or there. I may be in the minority here but if I wanted a sip of margarita, I'd probably have one while pregnant. I've been erring on the side of having a little bit on occasion so I don't want an entire drink at any point. It's been completely satisfying and unworrying to me... and I don't really want a whole drink ever at any point. A little dab does it completely - just for taste, not for alcohol, I guess. There are lots of good yeasts and carbs in beer.
As for right after birth, I found this non alcoholic sparkling cider and tried it and it was SO good and wouldn't result in any kind of dehydration from enjoying it. In fact I totally had 2.5 glasses of it when I opened it last night it was so yummy and delicious. It's going in the fridge/hospital bag for SURE!
I'm straddling the fact that things are flying by vs. creeping along.
Hypnobirthing classes start tonight - once a week, 2 hrs each, and will take me through the end of March.
At my house, the word of the next 8-10 weeks is MITIGATION. DH said to me, ok. We're at that point. We're just going to try to mitigate everything, not be aggressive. We'll clean in small spurts. We'll sleep as best we can. We'll get you naps and good food. We'll make sure you are comfortable. We are on the home stretch here so please don't try to do anything gung-ho. Let me do it for you, accept help, rest, relax, and let this last little bit go by without feeling guilty that you're not "contributing enough". I like that so much. Thankfully I don't have another LO to care for right now!
I agree with the alcohol...that's what I do as well.
And I'd love for my dh to say all that...but, alas, not so much. Drives me crazy but his thinking is more that pregnancy isn't an excuse(which yes, for my first pregnancy that was easy, but not since then).
Doing okay here...just tired and sore.

i love the idea of baking a cake during labour! that sounds like something fun we could do with our 5 year old. i guess i won't fully commit to it as you never know what you are actually going to feel like doing, but it is a great idea!

I love the labour cake idea. When preggo with DD1 I took the birthing from within course and made these awesome posters to take with me to L&D and packed a bag with aromatherapy and had a doula.... unfortunately that labor was only 4 hrs start to finish- started out high intensity and never stopped. With DD2, I had about an hour of on and off burning in my back before I realized I was having back labor. We called our midwife and relatives... my water broke and contractions became freight train intensity and DD2 was born 30 mins later. I know that some moms who have had labor that lasted days would jump on a short labor but after reading all the Ina May books and reading tons of birth stories I think I always had this vision of a slower, more blissfull labor...my midwife keeps telling me the 3rd baby is a wild card so maybe this labor will be totally different. I'm just psyched to have midwives that (so far) haven't even mentioned the word induction as I know most OBs would just schedule someone with fast labors to an induction at 39 weeks or the like.
Whoa, those were fast, KarenMT! I am hoping for the same as my previous experiences, really...both time I have had relatively quick active labours (4.5ish hours the first time, 3 the second time) with a few hours of early labour leading up to them. Things are getting tougher for the couple of hours before I move into active labour, but it's not till those last few hours that it gets really intense. Sort of the 'textbook' 12ish hour labour, I guess. I kind of hope the 3rd isn't too much of a wild card cause I need all that lead up time to get organized and do the drive to where we're having the baby (and do the cake! LOL) before things get intense.
I have a friend who has really fast labours (faster each time) and yeah, I will totally take my not-too-long-but-definitely-some-lead-time labours over going from 0 to full-on active labour in 10 seconds flat. No cakes would be baked in such a situation for sure! :P
That said, I would trade it all for my mother in law's labours...short but also not particularly painful (or, alternatively, she has an incredibly high pain tolerance). She recently told me she was always surprised when the baby started coming out because she figured she should be in more pain. Ah, I can dream!!
Oh, I hope my labor is short this time. With DD, I was in labor over 24 hours before they talked me into an unnecesarean. We did a lot of things wrong, too so I hope to change that with this one. We're doing Hypnobabies, have a doula, waiting as long as possible before going to the hospital, moving a lot during labor and refusing an epidural, everything opposite of what we did with her.
I'm having a bad day, and it's only 9:30! DS is cutting his canines, which means no one sleeps. I did something last night I've never done before. I sent a whiny toddler back to his own bed! He was just not wanting to let us sleep. Around 4, I picked him and his water bottle up, took him to his room, laid him down and he whimpered for a second until he saw his bottle. Then he giggled, took his bottle and fell asleep and he's still asleep. Doesn't gain us the rest of the time we lost. After sending him back to his bed, I woke up an hour later with cramps in both legs-my right calf and left thigh. Then we woke up late and woke up to find out an elderly member of our congregation had passed away. It was expected, but still sad. He had no earthly family, so our church family was his family. He'll be missed, but he was in a lot of pain. It makes me feel utterly superficial, but DS's birthday party (put off a month because of our move) is supposed to be Saturday, so I'm hoping the funeral's not the same time or else we're gonna have to change the time/day. THEN... DD, who went to bed with a dry cough, woke up with a croup, sounding congested in her chest and also a red, goopy eye. So, I'm here with a sleeping teething toddler, a sick preschooler, crampy legs, mourning a dear friend and not sure if I should even start the birthday cake...
31 weeks today... can't believe it's going this quick. I knew it would, but still!
Me: DH: DD: DS1: DS2:
Another person here signing up for the tired train!!!
Toot Toot!!!
Hang in there mamas... let's hope we get some good rest and sleep this weekend.
I could not even begin to be thinking about buying a house right now or moving - my sympathies!!!!!
Anna, married to my soulmate, loving on DS (4)
I love the idea of a labor cake too, but I tend to go into labor in the middle of the night and then go fast. But, we'll see what happens this time.
I'm feeling pretty good, having crazy tired days mixed with energy filled days. The tired ones are starting to be more frequent making it hard to get things done!
Happily married, busy mom to a houseful :-)
Expecting again early Oct 2014!
Sorry about all the ickyness becca. Hope everyone gets better soon.
I passed my glucose test!!
We also got our returns back from the accountant, and I am much, much calmer about finances for the rest of the year. Just a wee bit of padding to make everything a little easier.
I am so tired, and measuring ahead a bit (evidently pretty normal cause I'm short). We start birthing classes next week, which I am very excited about. I am also happy to be starting visits every two weeks. I freak out too much when left in my own brain, and ten minutes with my midwife just calms me down completely.
married to Mike Mama to my furry babies just gave birth to our first DS.
I met with our new Ob/Gyn today for the first time. She seemed really busy and rushed but supportive of my plan for an un-medicated delivery. The only thing I didn't like was that she said that she usually induces at 41 weeks but allows 42 weeks but you have to have extra testing to make sure everything is ok. I got an ultrasound and baby was head down and wiggling her but at the camera. :) Baby was also doing practice breaths which is a good sign. Today relieved a lot of stress that I had been holding on to.
Elonwy- CONGRATS!
Haven't had time to get caught up yet, but just checking in. We had a fun vacation at Walt Disney World but we were all quite ill by Thursday and it was a long trip home Friday with no one feeling well. The airline lost one of our bags too, so we had to wait around and do paperwork and deal with unpleasant people while we just wanted to get home. The good news is they found our bag (called us at midnight!)
I actually made an appointment for myself with our family doctor today. Just for background--my kids have never had anything other than a wellness visit there--and I haven't taken an antibiotic in 15 years. So you know this is serious! He said I have the worst case of bronchitis he's seen in a long time but doesn't think there is fluid in my lungs. He said to call him if my fever goes above 101 degrees and he'll give me an antibiotic. He scolded me for taking Tylenol (which I rarely do!) but had to with traveling so long yesterday and if I wanted to make it to his office (an hour away) today. I love that an MD treats it like the poison that it is. He told me to take 275,000 IU of vitD3 for the next 7 days and 1000mg of vitC every 2 hours and just suffer through it.
Anyone have any suggestions to supress this cough especially at night? I've been coughing so hard that it literally makes me vomit. I need some rest! I even bought non-drowsy OTC cough suppressant today but have taken it yet. Imagine what my doctor would say about that if he hated the Tylenol so much!
Mom to 5 amazing kids! (DS10, DS8, DD5, DD3 and DS1)

It was 9:30 at night. I was tired; my students were tired; we'd been writing and talking about writing for almost four hours; it was time to start wrapping up. "One last thing," I said. "Looking at the writing you did tonight, I noticed some confusion about when to use 'me' and when to use 'I.' " Suddenly everybody in the room was awake. More than awake: they were excited. Help, they said, please, please explain. They were graduate students, but no one had ever taught them basic grammar.
Now we come to a fork in the op-ed writer's road. This column could head off in the direction of deploring and lamenting the lack of grammar instruction in our schools and fearing that the English language is being corrupted, impoverished and lost. For the record: Yes. I deplore, lament and fear.
But let's take the other fork. Let's go down the path of accepting that there are a lot of people around today who didn't grow up diagramming sentences. Advising them to consider subjective vs. objective pronouns, or transitive vs. intransitive verbs, isn't going to mean much. So here are some practical, intuitive ways to find your way out of a grammatical tight spot.
First, "me" and "I." The mistakes happen when the "me" or "I" comes after an "and." "The guitar player was looking at Carly and I." To find the solution, get rid of "Carly" and "and." What you're left with — "The guitar player was looking at I" — shows you that something in the sentence is screwy. "The guitar player was looking at Carly and me" may be a fantasy — he probably was blinded by the lights and too stoned to see either of you — but at least it's grammatically correct.
By the same intuitive reasoning, "Carly and me went backstage to his dressing room" is a mistake, both in terms of grammar and behavior.
Now, "lie" and "lay." This is dangerous territory if we stay with the guitarist, who may do a lot of both. Let's move away from him to a more innocent venue: Thanksgiving at your grandmother's house, where you eat so much that after dinner all you want to do is to — lay down? Lie down? Here's some help. Pay attention; this is a little complicated. The word you want is "lie." But before you go lie down, you'll need to lay down your fork. "To lie," means "to recline"; "to lay" means "to place or put."
That's pretty straightforward, assuming that this is all happening right now. But suppose it happened yesterday? Suppose that yesterday you ate a lot, and then you got rid of your fork and then reclined? It would be correct to write, "Yesterday I laid down my fork and then I lay down."
So can we say that if you recline today it's "lie," and if you reclined yesterday it's "lay"? Not exactly. Suppose you want to say that yesterday at your grandmother's, you ate a lot and then made a decision to go and recline? It happened in the past, and yet the correct way to say it is, "I decided to lie down."
Because "lay" is the simple past tense of the verb "lie," but in the sentence "I decided to lie down," "to lie" is the infinitive form of the verb, which here functions as the object of the simple-past-tense verb "decided." That's why.
And now I find myself looking back longingly at the other path this column could have taken: the argument that we need to teach the rules of grammar to American schoolchildren. Intuitive reasoning will take us only so far where grammar is concerned. Sooner or later, we blunder into a dark and tangled part of the forest where intuition stops making sense. Sooner or later, we have to go back to the rules: back to that other path in the woods, where things make sense because writers, scholars and teachers have spent years clearing away the underbrush.
Grammar and usage may sound like boring things to care about, but we need to care, in order to be taken seriously when we speak and when we write. If you disagree, send a letter to I; if it upsets I, me will go lay down.
Joan Wickersham writes for the Boston Globe.

AUBURN, Ala. — Kyle Bouman had a restless night of sleep.
LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri informed him Friday night that he would be starting in a must-win game against Auburn the next day. He awoke nearly every hour, likely rolling over and glancing at the clock.
"Tough night," the lefthander said.
Tough day? Nah.
Bouman had his best SEC start, going a season-long five innings, and Kade Scivicque smashed through a nasty hitting slump to lead the Tigers to an 8-1 win over Auburn on Saturday afternoon in a victory key to LSU's postseason positioning.
The win secured LSU a day off in what will be an all-important Southeastern Conference tournament for a squad on the bubble of receiving a host bid for an NCAA regional.
"It's big," center fielder Andrew Stevenson said. "If we didn't get the bye, we could go one-and-out in the SEC tournament. We're going to try to have a fun run like last year."
The reigning tournament champions, LSU (40-14-1, 17-11-1) finished the season third in the SEC, grabbing the No. 3 seed in next week's 12-team tournament in Hoover, Alabama. The top four seeds bypass the single-elimination portion of the event Tuesday.
The Tigers will meet No. 6 seed Vanderbilt or No. 11 seed Tennessee at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday. Those teams play at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday in a win-or-go-home game.
Saturday's duel wasn't an elimination game, but a loss would have forced LSU into playing that first day in Hoover and likely would have dashed the Tigers' hopes of hosting an NCAA regional.
That's why Bouman couldn't sleep.
"Woke up about five or six times," he said, "especially knowing this was a big game."
Bouman (4-2) got his first SEC win as a starter and worked out of some pressure-packed jams. He allowed four hits and one run, leading LSU to its first SEC series road sweep since March 2013.
The Tigers offense continued a scintillating week at the plate, rolling up 11 hits and scoring eight or more runs for the fourth straight game. They've had 61 hits in the past four games and have won those games by a combined 56-4 score.
An unlikely character led the hit parade Saturday as LSU exploded for a five-run seventh inning to blow open a 3-1 lead. Scivicque had three hits — a home run, single and double — and drove in a pair of runs. He scored twice, too.
He entered the Auburn series 3 for his past 37 at-bats in SEC games, a stretch that dated to April 6. The Maurepas native had slipped from his spot as LSU's cleanup hitter and then dropped out of the lineup lately during the struggles.
"I just kept swinging," he said.
He finished the series 4-for-6 with four RBIs, and LSU closed its most dominant SEC road series in Mainieri's eight years. The Tigers beat Auburn by a combined 25 runs.
"Everybody is asking me about the pressure of coaching and playing at LSU. These kids knew the pressure was on them," Mainieri said. "The pressure was there, and these kids just found the zone. They played loose; they played aggressive and with energy and enthusiasm."
LSU got gems from every facet of the game in three blowouts at Samford Stadium. It was no different Saturday.
Shortstop Alex Bregman made a pair of similar dazzling defensive plays to save a run each time, and Bouman fought through some tough times to re-establish himself as the team's No. 3 starter.
Mainieri has been waiting for someone to take on the role. The team has used four different pitchers in Game 3s.
Bouman began the season as the guy, got hurt and struggled upon his return. He hadn't started a game in nearly a month before Saturday.
"Of all of the good things that happened today, that was the most important thing. In order to advance beyond the regional, you have to be able to win three games in a weekend," Mainieri said. "If we're hosting (a regional) and we get to play a 4 seed, who can pitch that opening game of the weekend? If we are a 2 seed and have to go with (Jared) Poché or (Aaron) Nola in Game 1, who can win a championship game for you?
"I think Kyle Bouman emerged today."
It didn't come without some woes.
Anfernee Grier took Bouman's third pitch over the left-center field wall for a solo home run, and he had to dig himself out of some jams.
Bregman committed an untimely error in the third inning, throwing wide of second base with a double-play ball.
It only set up a stellar escape from Bouman. With men on the corners and one out, he got back-to-back strikeouts — his only to Ks of the day — to end the inning. He started 3-0 on both batters.
Auburn was 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position. A big reason was Bouman, a guy whose up-and-down season just might have a happy ending.
"It's been a roller coaster," he said, "I can say that."

The Registrar General Duncan Macniven said his revised figure took into account an increase in the birth rate and a rise in migrant workers.
However, he said deaths still exceeded births in Scotland so the population would continue to decline.
First Minister Jack McConnell recently launched the Fresh Talent initiative to attract people to live in Scotland.
Mr Macniven said: "Our last projections, based on 2002 estimates, suggested that the population would fall below five million in 2009.
"The latest figures take account of two recent factors - an increase in the number of births and in the number of people migrating to Scotland, mostly from the rest of the UK.
"But deaths still exceed births so the slow decline in Scotland's population is set to continue."
The figures released by the Registrar General suggest:
The Fresh Talent initiative aims to bring 8,000 new people to the country each year.
Scotland has the fastest falling population anywhere in Europe.
Mr McConnell has advertised Scotland as "the best small country in the world" and says he believes the Fresh Talent programme will reverse population decline.

#SayWhatNews Problems At Philly Airport - Lil Boosie Talks About His Daughter Foul Mouth - Death Toll Rises In NYC Explosion - Lil Wayne Retiring - New Dating App
Problems At the Philly Airport - The nose gear of a plane trying to take off at Philadelphia International Airport collapsed yesterday, leading the crew to send emergency slides to evacuate the passengers. The US Airways Flight headed to Fort Lauderdale was forced to abort takeoff soon after 6 p.m. when a tire on the front landing gear blew out. Just two of the 149 passengers requested medical attention, and thankfully no serious injuries were reported. All the passengers were rescheduled on later flights.
Lil Boosie Addresses His Daughters IG Video - When Lil Boosie was released from jail his young daughter shared her excitement with the world via an Instagram video. People were shocked to hear certain choice words. During the video she repeatedly said "I told ya'll n***as" that her dad was coming home. Boosie has responded to the viral clip saying "I was too happy to fuss. You know, after that I told her I didn't want her saying the word. But, she was one of those that went through 'your daddy ain't coming home', 'yo daddy this' in schools and such. So, I think it was just..when I called her and told her I was coming home, I think it was all the stuff she went through was coming out. I didn't know she had it in her. [Laughs]"
The Difference Between Men And Woman - Ever wonder why men hate going to the mall with their girlfriends? Well now there's a study to tell us why. New research suggests that men get bored at the mall after a mere 26 minutes while it takes the average woman more than 2 hours to reach boredom levels. The studiers say that this is because men usually have an idea of what they want when they go shopping while women are more open-minded. One of the researchers tied it back to our primitive past saying "These behaviors are linked to our past as hunter-gatherers. Women's browsing shopping style is a form of gathering, while men's more 'mono-focused' style fits the pattern [of] hunting."
Death Toll Rises On NYC Explosion - The death toll from Wednesday's gas explosion in upper Manhattan has risen to eight, as rescue workers continue to look for potential survivors and victims in the rubble of two collapsed five-story buildings, using sound devices to listen for voices and telescopic cameras to look into small spaces. At least five people are still unaccounted for.
Lil Wayne Retiring - Lil Wayne has announced that after his upcoming album 'The Carter V' drops, he's done with the rap game. He said, "I personally plan on this being my final solo album, yes and it's definitely the final Carter album. It's stopping at five...It seems like it will be impossible for me to work this hard again for anything else." But don't worry Weezy fans he said that he may do another album if there are enough zeros on the paycheck, "25 to 35 million would get me to do another solo album after this...I didn't smile when I said it" he said. The Carter V drops in May and you'll also here him on the Young Money compilation album "Rise of an Empire".
Judge Rules Against Teen Suing Parents - After suing her parents for allegedly kicking her out of the house and getting denied a monetary settlement by a judge, Rachel Canning, has returned home to the same parents that she took to court. According to her parents' attorney she " Her return home is not contingent on any financial and/or other considerations." While the lawsuit has not been legally dropped the legal representation says that the situation has been "resolved" and that it's "done". Her parents are said to have welcomed her back into their home.
New Dating App - A new dating app called Glimpse is helping people find love with the help of their Instagram profile. The app shows the user's name, age, profile picture and nine IG photos they choose. Those interested just login to the app through IG request an invite code, create a profile, choose their pics and begin their quest for love. If two users "smile" at each other they are able to chat through the app. A co-founder for the app says that using the IG photos helps to give matches something to talk about.
Laws Loosen On Pitbulls - For years pit bulls have been stigmatized as America's "most dangerous" dog. But thanks to animal rights activists and images that cast the dogs in a more positive light- the attitude towards the breed has started to change. A lot of states, 17 to be exact, have started passing laws that make it illegal for communities to ban certain breeds of dogs. A representative for the American Kennel Club said, "Lawmakers are realizing that targeting dogs based on their breed or what they look like is not a solution to dealing with dangerous dogs."
Pornostagram Is IG For The Naked - Just in case there weren't enough digital outlets for those looking to share their nude flicks with the world- pornostagram has been created. Pornostagram is an app that allows people to share their nude selfies with their followers. The French creator Quentin Lechemia said that he liked the idea of Instagram but the strict policy against nudes left a market untapped. He wanted a place where adults could share their "sexy" photos. Lechemia said, "At the beginning, it came from personal experience with my girlfriend...We used to send sexy texts and pics to each other and I noticed that in a way or another, no matter your age or gender, you're always a bit ashamed to do so. And I thought maybe by allowing people to apply filters to those pictures it could make the shame disappear and then I enlarged this reflection to social networks...The social networks are a mirror of what we do on a daily basis and sex is everywhere. 30 percent of the searches on the Internet are related to sex and we should be able to share our sex pictures as well, as we should a picture of a pizza." Not sure how synonymous poom pooms and Johnsons are with pizza but Lechemia said "It's not the porn industry. It's just normal people who want to share about sex. That's it."
Jamie Foxx And Kevin Hart Teaming Up For Black Phantom - Kevin Hart has been on a roll and it looks like Jaime Foxx is joining him for the ride. Continuing on their $130 million success from 'Ride Along' Kevin Hart and director Tim Storey are teaming up for another film along with Foxx called 'Black Phantom". The movie will tell the story of "a double-crossed mob hitman who enlists the help of the Black Phantom, the same African-American hitman who had been sent to kill him." In addition to "Black Phantom" Hart has several other movies in the works including "Ride Along 2", "Think Like A Man Too", "Ballers" with Lebron James, "Get Hard" with Will Ferrell and a couple of other unnamed projects.
Federal Grand Jury Subpoenas Schoolmates In Kendrick Johnsons Death - According to sources the federal grand jury has subpoenaed the former classmates and parents of Kendrick Johnson- the teenager who was found dead in a gym mat at a Georgia school last year. The investigation began about four months ago when Johnson's parents revealed that the case was mishandled by authorities and that they believed the initial investigation was a coverup. Yesterday the US Attorney Marshall said, "We're working methodically, and sometimes we remember we're running a marathon instead of a sprint. So, we're working on it. It's better to get it right than to get it fast. I'm satisfied that the FBI is moving forward at the appropriate speed, and they're doing a fine job."

Did the GOP commission Fox to rewrite the history books?
Appearing on Fox & Friends, purported business expert Stuart Varney made extensive revisions to U.S. economic history, among them: the false suggestion that President Obama has not cut taxes; the false suggestion that President Bush presided over strong job growth; and the false claim that after President Clinton took office, the economy did not improve until Republicans took control of Congress.
Erasing $288 billion in tax relief, Varney falsely suggests Obama has not cut taxes
Varney: When Reagan took office, "he cut taxes"; when Obama took office, "he raises taxes." From the June 10 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:
VARNEY: Yes, well look. What happened when President Reagan took office in January 1981? We had double-digit unemployment. He cut taxes, set off a growth of prosperity for a generation. Now we've got President Obama in; he inherits a nasty recession, he raises taxes and raises spending. He has not cut unemployment. There's a difference in reaction to a nasty situation. One works, one doesn't work. I'm very partisan. I'm very clearly partisan. Sorry, ladies and gentlemen.
In fact, Recovery Act included significant tax relief for individuals, families, and businesses. As Media Matters for America has noted [1], the Recovery Act contained [2] $288 billion in tax relief, including the Making Work Pay [3] tax credit, which is a two-year annual credit of $400 per individual or $800 for families. In addition, the Recovery Act included a temporary increase in the earned income tax credit [4], a temporary increase in the refundable portion [5] of the child tax credit, an increase in the first-time homebuyer tax credit [6], and tax incentives [7] for businesses.
Bruce Bartlett: "[F]ederal taxes are very considerably lower by every measure since Obama became president." Bruce Bartlett, former adviser to President Reagan and a Treasury Department economist under President George H.W. Bush, wrote [8] on March 19 that "federal taxes are very considerably lower by every measure since Obama became president. And given the economic circumstances, it's hard to imagine that a tax increase would have been enacted last year":
As noted earlier, federal taxes are very considerably lower by every measure since Obama became president. And given the economic circumstances, it's hard to imagine that a tax increase would have been enacted last year. In fact, 40% of Obama's stimulus package involved tax cuts. These include the Making Work Pay Credit, which reduces federal taxes for all taxpayers with incomes below $75,000 by between $400 and $800.
According to the JCT, last year's $787 billion stimulus bill [9], enacted with no Republican support, reduced federal taxes by almost $100 billion in 2009 and another $222 billion this year. The Tax Policy Center, a private research group, estimates [10] that close to 90% of all taxpayers got a tax cut last year and almost 100% of those in the $50,000 income range. For those making between $40,000 and $50,000, the average tax cut was $472; for those making between $50,000 and $75,000, the tax cut averaged $522. No taxpayer anywhere in the country had his or her taxes increased as a consequence of Obama's policies.
AP: "Americans are paying lower taxes this year." The Associated Press reported on April 14, "You wouldn't know it by the Tax Day rhetoric, but Americans are paying lower taxes this year, even with increases passed by many states to balance their budgets." While noting that in future years some taxes may increase for some Americans, the article said that "Tax Day rhetoric," i.e. complaints by some of being overtaxed, does not match the reality of Americans' current tax burdens. From the article [11]:
Congress cut individuals' federal taxes for this year by about $173 billion shortly after President Barack Obama took office, dwarfing the $28.6 billion in increases by states.
The massive economic recovery package enacted last year included about $300 billion in tax cuts over 10 years. About $232 billion was in cuts for individuals, nearly all in the first two years.
The most generous was Obama's Making Work Pay credit, which gives individuals up to $400 and couples up to $800 for 2009 and 2010. The $1,000 child tax credit was expanded to more families, and the working poor can qualify for as much as $5,657 from the Earned Income Tax Credit.
There were also credits for qualified families who buy new homes or make energy improvements to existing ones, as well as tax breaks to help pay college tuition or buy new cars.
Tax-cut amnesia is News Corp.-wide phenomenon. In response to Obama's State of the Union assertion that "we cut taxes," Fox Forum columnist Peter Roff wrote, "We cut taxes? How did I miss that?" Columnist S.E. Cupp similarly wrote, "Cut taxes?! WHAT?" The New York Post also asked if Obama was in "Opposite Land" when he "claimed to have cut taxes and saved 'millions' of jobs." In July 2009, Stephen Moore said [1] on Fox News that "[t]he one thing this administration won't do is cut taxes," when, in fact, it already had cut taxes.
CBS: "Poll Reveals Most Americans Don't Know They Got a Tax Cut." A February 5-10 New York Times/ [12]CBS News poll [12] found that only 12 percent of respondents "think the Obama Administration has ... decreased taxes for most Americans." CBS wrote [13] that "[o]f people who support the grassroots, 'Tea Party' movement, only 2 percent think taxes have been decreased, 46 percent say taxes are the same, and a whopping 44 percent say they believe taxes have gone up."
Accusing Dem of "cherry-picking," Varney does just that to claim "Bush created 8 million new jobs"
Varney: From "2003 to 2007, George Bush created 8 million new jobs." From the June 10 edition of Fox & Friends:
VARNEY: What you're quoting there is Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Florida Democrat, who said on my show on FBN, she said, look, you take the first four months of this year, extrapolate out, and we've created more jobs in that year than Bush did in his eight years. Well, you're cherry-picking time frames. You're making a prediction of a trend, which simply isn't there, and you're ignoring reality. The reality is that in the middle of Bush years, and you've spoken about this, Brian [Kilmeade], 2003 to 2007, George Bush created 8 million new jobs. And that's ignored here.
By cherry-picking just four years of Bush's administration, Varney erased two recessions; in fact, only 1 million new jobs were created during Bush presidency. According to data [14] from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of nonfarm jobs increased from 132.5 million in January 2001 to 133.5 million in January 2009, an increase of only 1 million jobs. By contrast, employment increased by 22.7 million under Clinton, 16.1 million under Reagan, 10.3 million under Jimmy Carter, and 2.6 under George H.W. Bush.
By including only data from 2003 to 2007, Varney erased the job impact of the recessions [15] that began in 2001 and in 2007. The Washington Post reported [16] in January 2009 that "economists, including some former advisers to Bush" say the expansion during the period Varney highlighted "was driven to a large degree by the interrelated booms in the housing market, consumer spending and financial markets," which "have proved unsustainable."
Bush employment growth worst of all post-WWII administrations. The New York Times reported [17] on January 23, 2009, that during the Bush administration, "Employment grew at a compound annual rate of only 0.3 percent, half the 0.6 percent rate that his father had recorded in what had previously been the worst post-World War II performance."
Fox & Friends makes misleading, apples-to-oranges comparison of unemployment rates
Doocy: "Obama is in a bad spot." From the June 10 edition of Fox & Friends:
DOOCY: We're looking at U.S. unemployment over the last 12 years -- 12 months, that is to say. But when you look over the last number of decades, Obama is in a bad spot because when you look at, starting with LBJ, he had unemployment at 4 percent. Ike was under 5, Nixon 5, Clinton 5, Bush 43 5, JFK 6, Bush 41 -- and just read along. Obama's at the bottom with over 9 percent.
Fox compared unemployment rate of Obama's first year-and-a-half, which came during the midst of a deep recession, to the average unemployment rates of past presidents. In two on-screen graphics, Fox & Friends prematurely compared the average unemployment rate over less than 1.5 years under Obama -- who took office in the midst of a deep recession -- to the average unemployment rates over the full presidencies of Bush and other former presidents. Fox & Friends listed the average unemployment rate under Bush as 5.3 percent. When Bush left office in January 2009, the unemployment rate [18] was 7.7 percent and had been increasing [19] for more than a year.
Varney falsely claims that after Clinton took office, "economy was not stimulated" until "the Republicans swept in"
From the June 10 edition of Fox & Friends:
VARNEY: Look, when George Bush cut taxes in 2001, 2002, that was in a recession. It got us out of the recession --
BRIAN KILMEADE (co-host): Fifty-one consecutive months of growth --
VARNEY: And gave us 51 consecutive months of economic growth. That was the direct result of tax cuts, which stimulated the economy. Now, I know you're gonna refer to President Clinton. First thing he did when he comes into office, he raises taxes on the top 1 percent of income earners. The immediate result of that was not to stimulate the economy. No, the economy was not stimulated until 1994, when the Republicans swept in, put a collar on government spending, and made sure that we were fiscally sound. Then the economy took off, and revenues took off.
Clinton's 1993 budget plan also included spending cuts, as well as expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit, Head Start, and other programs. Varney stated: "First thing [Clinton] did when he comes into office, he raises taxes on the top 1 percent of income earners. The immediate result of that was not to stimulate the economy." According to [20] the Brookings Institution, the 1993 package also "included significant spending reductions" and "concentrated the tax increases on upper-income taxpayers, while substantially expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit, Head Start, and other government programs aimed at lower earners."
Economy was recovering before Republicans took control of Congress. Contrary to Varney's claim that "the economy was not stimulated until 1994, when the Republicans swept in, put a collar on government spending, and made sure that we were fiscally sound," the economy had, in fact, been recovering before that point. According to data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, GDP increased 4.1 percent in 1994, before the Republicans controlled Congress, and had been recovering since 1991, when GDP fell .2 percent. The economy continued to grow throughout the 1990s.
Varney falsely claimed "we had double-digit unemployment" when "Reagan took office in January 1981"
From the June 10 edition of Fox & Friends:
VARNEY: Yes, well look. What happened when President Reagan took office in January 1981? We had double-digit unemployment. He cut taxes, set off a growth of prosperity for a generation.
In fact, unemployment reached double digits 20 months into Reagan's term. According to BLS data, the unemployment rate [18] was 7.5 in January 1981, when Reagan took office. The unemployment rate increased steadily over 20 months and passed 10 percent in September 1982.

Community activism that simply nibbles at the edges is not enough. Small-scale rebellions can raise consciousness and help bring needed improvements to cities, but what we really need is a revolution.

 In the Winter 2013 issue of Dissent (the quarterly magazine of politics and ideas), Alex Ulam follows a thread From the Gold Coast of New York to the Venice Biennale. He argues Spontaneous Interventions "was not an outlier at the Biennale" but indicative of a general movement in support of the "Right to the City". Mr. Ulam then lays out a frame, wherein, the fact that many "municipal parks agencies have become charity cases", a new awareness of POPs, plus the continued selling off of corporate naming rights, are all examples of cities "being redesigned to benefit moneyed interests".

Do you need a nutrient-rich beverage without the bulk and heaviness of a green smoothie? Try a light and refreshing whole juice instead!
What Is A Whole Juice?
A whole juice is made in a blender, instead of a juicer. This means that whole juices are whole foods that include fiber, but are made with water-rich fruits to give it a much lighter consistency than a thick, creamy smoothie.
Whole juices are perfect for drinking first thing in the morning or between meals. They are especially good during times of illness when your body needs nutrients and fluids, but you don't feel like eating solid food.
Green juices provide important vitamins and minerals with a low-calorie impact, so they can help people who are trying to lose weight to satisfy a craving for sweets.
Juices are excellent detox and cleansing foods, however, I do not recommend an extended juice-only diet.
How To Make A Whole Juice
The trick to making a whole juice in your high-speed blender (see my blender recommendations) is to select water-rich fruits such as citrus, pineapple or grapes and blend them with greens, celery and other veggies. You'll add more water, coconut water or fresh-squeezed fruit juice than you would for smoothies to get a juicy consistency. Add fresh ginger, lemon or lime for an added kick.
Whole Green Juice Recipes
Fizzy Papaya-Guava Whole Juice Recipe (Calories: 156)

The Art of Emotional First AidBy:
Every night, before bed, most of us brush our teeth, wash our face, perhaps apply some lotion to our hands. These simple acts of self care are meant to help our physical body stay healthy.
When we get a cut, we put a band aid on it to help it heal. Our mental health deserves the same level of care and attention, but we aren't taught how to do that.
Just as a cut left untended would probably fester into an infection, psychological injuries are often ignored until they settle deep into us and create pathology. According to Guy Winch, author of Emotional First Aid: Healing Rejection, Guilt, Failure, and Other Everyday Hurts, this is because we are not taught how to practice first aid on our emotional bodies.
Winch suggests that in the same way we sometimes get a cold, our mental health suffers dips. Recognizing these dips and attending to our emotional well being can help us recover more completely. Here are three ways to start:
- Pay attention to your self talk. Winch suggests noticing how you talk to yourself when you make a mistake or experience some kind of failure. Most of us are extremely critical of ourselves. He suggests pretending that you are talking to your closest friend. Be kind and compassionate. If you've made a mistake, instead of beating yourself up about it, act like a detective, being curious about what you might do differently in the future.
- Flip the switch on unhealthy thought patterns. Rumination, the constant, repetitive replaying of a certain event can be extremely detrimental to mental health. Studies show it can contribute to depression, alcoholism and even cardiovascular disease. Winch suggests that distraction can help break the habit of rumination. When you notice the mind going into that repetitive pattern, find a way to distract it: think of something else or get your brain involved in another task. Even two minutes of distraction can break the habit if repeated often enough.
- Change your response to stumbling blocks. Often, when we don't succeed at something, we spend an inordinate amount of time thinking that we are to blame, that bad things always happen to us. Winch says that a more productive response would be to practice a kind of gratitude. Take some time to remember what you are good at and celebrate something you have accomplished in the past. When you look again at the stumbling block, use your mental energy to find ways around it instead of getting caught up in wondering why it's there.
We may not have been shown how to care for our emotions in the same way we were shown how to care for our bodies, but with practice and attention, the psychological bumps and bruises of life can be treated. If we give ourselves a bit more compassion, and maybe a little extra time snuggled up with a cozy blanket and a cup of tea, we can emerge stronger and more confident of our capacity to heal.

Kendrick J. Stoddart Sr., retired police detective
Aug. 1, 1944 – Dec. 7, 2013
Kendrick J. Stoddart Sr., a retired Buffalo police detective, veteran of the Vietnam War and owner of a landscaping business, died Saturday in Hamburg after a short illness. He was 69.
The Kenmore native served in the Army in Vietnam before joining the Buffalo Police Department in 1968. He retired in 1988. He began as a patrolman and in dispatch before moving on to the K-9 unit. The last eight years were spent working undercover on the vice squad and as a detective on the robbery squad.
He also owned and operated Wanakah Landscaping for more than 40 years, selling the business in 2001. The same year, he purchased land in North Collins and launched North Collins Tree Farm, which grew Christmas trees.
"That's what's remarkable about him," said his son, Kendrick Stoddart Jr. "Simultaneously [to his police career] he did own and operate a very successful landscaping business for 35 years. Pretty much everybody in the Southtowns here was familiar with Wanakah Landscaping."
Mr. Stoddart grew up in Kenmore. His family moved to Hamburg during his junior year in high school and he graduated from Frontier Central High School. He was drafted into the Army and served as an infantryman in Vietnam from 1965 to 1967. After returning from the war, he entered the Police Academy and joined the force in 1968.
Mr. Stoddart was on the board of directors and an officer of Wanakah Country Club and served as president of the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce and the Western New York Nurserymen's Association.
He also was a member of Hamburg Township Post 1419 Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Mr. Stoddart was honored by the nursery organization as Man of the Year in 1994, and also received the chamber's Business of the Year award in 1998. He was key in resurrecting the Hamburg Holidays program.
Survivors in addition to his son include his wife, the former Melissa Hummel; a daughter, Sarah; and three sisters, Diane Adams, Suzanne Whelan and Sandra McCleary.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday in St. Mary of the Lake Catholic Church, 4737 Lake Shore Road, Hamburg.

Way back in 2013 I lit the Popehat Signal to get pro bono help for J. Todd Deshong, a blogger and HIV-positive AIDS activist. Woo merchant and AIDS denialist Clark Barker filed a frivolous lawsuit against Deshong, claiming that Deshong's critical web sites defamed him and infringed his trademark. A legal Dream Team assembled swiftly and formidably, and in 2014 that Dream Team got the frivolous complaint dismissed.
So far so good. But you can't fight vexatious litigants just by winning motions; you have to inflict upon them the costs of their actions. The Dream Team sought attorney fees under the Lanham Act, which allows a prevailing party to get fees in an "exceptional" case. The federal district court denied the request, saying that there wasn't enough evidence that the plaintiff acted in bad faith.
But that's not the right question, the Dream Team asserted. Today, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit agreed. They reversed the refusal to award fees and sent it back for the trial court to decide under the right standard:
We merge Octane Fitness's definition of "exceptional" into our interpretation of § 1117(a) and construe its meaning as follows: an exceptional case is one where (1) in considering both governing law and the facts of the case, the case stands out from others with respect to the substantive strength of a party's litigating position; or (2) the unsuccessful party has litigated the case in an "unreasonable manner." See Octane Fitness, 134 S. Ct. at 1756. The district court must address this issue "in the case-by-case exercise of their discretion, considering the totality of the circumstances." See id.
This standard is much friendlier to the targets of frivolous lawsuits. It doesn't require an inquiry into subjective bad faith (which judges are often loath to find) and allows consideration of both the objectively meritless nature of the claims and the methods used to litigate. That will make it easier for other Dream Teams to get attorney fees when censorious plaintiffs abuse the legal system to suppress speech.
Congrats to Paul Alan Levy and Gill Sperlein for this appellate win.

During 90-minute yoga classes, an instructor combines talk-therapy techniques with yoga to help clients heal from the inside out.
Psychodynamic Yoga
Although yoga is known to incite a wide range of emotional states in its practitioners, traditional classes don't typically encourage students to express these thoughts. However, registered yoga instructor Akiva Daube has set out to provide an emotional outlet for his students during their mind-body practice, drawing from his education in psychoanalysis. He strives to help them overcome any physical, emotional, and spiritual issues with a combination of yoga's healing physical postures and talk therapy. While he guides students in strengthening their muscles and increasing their flexibility, they are encouraged to express feelings as emotions come, which may help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. The classes are led in small groups at the studio or in one-on-one sessions at a location of the client's choice, such as in the comfort of their own home or at a calming lullaby factory.

Project Blue Suede Wood
I finally decided to get to work on my car after going to Bimmerfest 2011 this year in Pasadena. My first thing I wanted to do was get rid of the wood trim throughout the car. It is nice looking but for an old man maybe. I toyed with the idea of brushed aluminum for about 2 years until i saw it on a car at Bimmerfest this past year that was the same color set up as mine. I didn't like it. So i looked at the Piano Black too but that was a bit more than i wanted to dedicate to this portion of the project. So after checking out what others had done on their cars i decided to go to the local fabric store and get some suede swatches and found a piece i liked and decided to go with it.
This is what I have done as of today
Unfortunately the pop up nav that I have has a crappy kit because it is so big and has so many wires that it does not install flush against the dash. So it looks a bit wonky in one photo and the corners at the top look off but they really are not.
Eventually i plan to ditch the radio, move the air control down to where the Ipod is stored and install a double din navigation. Which will happen sooner now that the suede has been put in and I actually am quite happy with the results.
I will do the doors and the pieces in the back seat as well as over window controls/shift box area.
I have been toying with the idea of doing the pillars but I am not sure if it will be over kill or not. I guess I can always try it out before i go all the way with that.
I will put up better photos when i do the other parts.
These pieces were easy, but it is the curved pieces that will be the challenge.
**I have also fixed that little uneven/sagging spot between the middle and large piece at the bottom, these pictures were taken PRE fabric tuck finalization spot checking.
