Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday removed two members from the Del Mar Fairgrounds governing body and appointed five new ones to the nine-member board.
Brown previously fired three from the board June 9, the night before this year's County Fair, but had yet to fill the vacancies.
The state-owned fairgrounds are managed by an agency called the 22nd District Agricultural Association.
On June 9, Brown, a Democrat, through his office informed members Barry Nussbaum, Vivian Hardage and Kelly Burt that their services were no longer needed. On Friday he relieved Patricia Davies and Charles Kim Fletcher. All five removed are Republicans.
Three of the five new appointees are Democrats, the other two declined to list an affiliation.
Fair board members serve at the governor's pleasure and are not paid a salary. They continue to hold their seat after their terms expire, but then can be removed at any time.
Each of the five members removed were serving past their allotted time. They were appointed by Govs. Gray Davis or Arnold Schwarzenegger. The five new fair board members, effective immediately, are:
• Lisa Barkett, 52, of La Jolla, a Democrat. She served on the fair board until 2006, when Fletcher replaced her.
• Frederick Schenk, 57, of San Diego, a Democrat. Schenk served on the fair board through 2006, when he was replaced by Davies.
• David Lizerbram, 35, of San Diego, registered as declined to state.
• David Watson, 54, of Chula Vista, a Democrat.
• Tom Chino, 62, of Del Mar, registered as declined to state.
Adam Day, the current president of the fair board, a Republican appointed by Schwarzenegger, said Friday he looked forward to welcoming the new fair board members.

In off-election year conventions, political parties choose their officers and take care of party business. Results from the recent Republican convention and the anticipated outcome of the upcoming Democratic convention are raising eyebrows. Whenever we see raised eyebrows, we are obliged to comment.
Utah Republicans chose as their vice chairman and secretary two arch-conservatives who were viewed by many mainstream Republicans as party dissidents, often at odds with party leadership and even filing litigation against party leaders. Now they are the party leaders. Convention delegates also rebelled against top GOP legislators and the clear wishes of the LDS Church by passing a resolution to repeal HB116, the immigration reform legislation. Is the Utah Republican Party falling apart?
Pignanelli: "Damn your principles! Stick to your party." — Benjamin Disraeli
The Utah Republican Party is analogous to Microsoft: a dominant operating system customers inherit or select because of a comfort level — everyone else is also using it. Both entities consistently attempt innovation in order to break into new markets. Their success is undeniable, but open-sourcing is now bringing external and internal problems. The software giant and the GOP are plagued with well-disguised bugs, viruses and trojans from within intent on reformatting or destroying the entire operation.
Utah Republican Chairman Thomas Wright deserves the respect he is receiving from most corners of Utah politics, especially for his use of technology to promote party development. Yet he now has the unique challenge of dealing with two officers that are more focused on structural and ideological purity than the primary goal of a political party: electing candidates. (Tom: welcome to the long-term problem of Utah Democrats.)
Add this dynamic to the current struggle over immigration, and it is easy to predict that local Republicans are in for a long internal wrestling match.
Webb: I'm a Republican state delegate, and I lost on most of my convention votes. However, had more delegates stuck around for the HB116 vote (almost 600 had gone home five hours into the convention), the resolution would have been defeated. Of all 3,500 delegates (not all attended the convention), fewer than 25 percent voted to repeal HB116. Thus, no politician need feel a mandate exists to repeal the immigration law. I believe the LDS Church's position on immigration clearly influenced the HB116 vote. Otherwise, the resolution would have passed by an even greater margin.
More troubling to me were the leadership elections, which showed the true nature of current delegates. Wright, a strong conservative leader who has done a remarkable job for the party, barely won re-election, even against some very weak opponents. Wright's mainstream running mates lost to dissidents whose passion and energy are directed at fighting over arcane intra-party rules and procedures rather than defeating Democrats. What were my fellow delegates thinking?
Nevertheless, the Utah GOP is far from falling apart. Despite some weird machinations at the state party level, one thing unites the party: Barack Obama and national Democrats. There is nothing like a good political opponent to help maintain focus and rise above party in-fighting.
Longtime Democratic State Chairman Wayne Holland is retiring. Several candidates are vying to replace him, but the strongest contender is local businessman and former radio personality Jim Dabakis — who is also a prominent gay activist. What does this mean for Democrats?
Pignanelli: I am impressed with the number of business and community leaders — including Republicans — that express a healthy respect for Dabakis. This offers quiet hope to a number of Democrats concerned about the PR impact of a Dabakis chairmanship. A founder of Equality Utah — a local gay and lesbian rights organization and the strongest political force in Salt Lake City — Dabakis has the organizational skills required for the chairman position. But after his election, he will need to assure independents and moderate Republicans that his party will not be focused on just one issue.
Webb: Dabakis is a smart political operative who understands Utah culture and realities. If he wins, he will be a good party chair. Democrats have elected a number of activists on gay and lesbian issues, particularly in the legislature, who have emerged as thoughtful, pragmatic leaders. They have won the respect and friendship even of conservative Republicans. I expect Dabakis will do the same.
A majority of Americans refuse allegiance to either political party. Independents are a growing faction inside Utah politics. Are the local political parties struggling?16 comments on this story
Pignanelli: American politics is in a state of flux with the two major parties attempting to define themselves with conflicting dynamics: globalism, nation building, free trade, protectionism, immigration, privacy, etc. Over time, the parties will determine their direction, which will spur defections but also new recruits. Until then, the struggle over ideology continues.
Webb: If mainstream people abandon political parties, extremists are more than happy to take over. It's messy, but mainstream people must stay in the game, fighting for reasonable positions and practical solutions, not just ideological purity. There is no alternative. The great problems this country and state face won't be solved by extremists. They will be solved by leaders of goodwill who come together to make the necessary tough decisions.

(See below how you can win a personalized and signed copy of Culturism in the first ever Digger's Realm contest!)
Culturism: A Word, A Value, Our Future is not just a book, but more of a tome to culture and the rights of people to be free to celebrate their culture. The author John Kenneth Press brings forth a new word, Culturism, a rally cry to celebrate and be proud of your culture.
Rather than just read this book, I found I was actually studying it. I took pages of notes as I went along. The arguments within the book and points made will make you think. He's not as much telling you how to think, but presenting to you ideas that are compelling regarding appreciation of culture and its global impact on the success of civilizations.
America was founded on individual rights, but certainly our forefathers did not foresee that one day in the future individual rights would come to the point that they overrule that of society itself and could ultimately spell its destruction. Press presents us with views on culture through his experience as a teacher of US History, philosophy and psychology at the high school level for 8 years.
"Those who say that all restraints on the individual in the name of cultural health are un-American are wrong." - John Kenneth Press
When discussing culture people instantly think of race.
Press discounts the notion that race has any part to play in academic success or any other important issue. This belief has been present in our education system for quite some time in the forms of Affirmative Action and "achievement gaps". regarding this, Press points out that it is truly culture that has this impact, not race.
Fifth graders in Taipei, Taiwan spend an average of 13 hours a week on homework; their peers in Minneapolis spend slightly more than four hours a week on homework. In Asian cultures not having completed one's homework normally results in shame. ... Culturist explanations can account for some groups doing better than others without resorting to discussions of race. In fact, the multitudes of successful minority students from every background show that educational success has nothing to do with race.
And that's the crux of it right there. Culture does not see your race, but it has somehow been tied with it. Press points out teen pregnancy, crime rates, that eating of fatty food and the resultant shortened life expectancy really has nothing to do with race, but the culture that raised the child.
"Our culture is not the world's default. If we do not prize and protect our vision it will be replaced by something different." - John Kenneth Press
Having no luck getting Mexicans to settle in what was called "Tejas" en masse, Santa Anna said Anglos could settle in the area if they would swear allegiance to Mexico, learn Spanish and become Catholic. He was gambling that he could count on the Anglo's loyalty and thus have the loyal population base so crucial to real ownership. This gamble failed.
The same thing is happening in portions of the United States now. We are asking people to come here and swear fealty to the United States, learn English and assimilate. Those Anglos who moved to Texas declaring loyalty were all full of lip service. Here is what happened:
Anglo-Americans poured in and quickly overwhelmed the tiny local Mexican population. By 1830 there were approximately 25,000 Americans residing in Texas and a mere 4,000 to 5,000 native Mexicans. This was anticipated. What was not anticipated, however, was how deeply culture is lodged in the human psyche. Anglo's declarations could not instantly turn them into Mexicans. ... Legal status and cultural affiliation are very different things. Despite legally declaring their intention to learn Spanish, be Catholics and feel allegiance to the government in Mexico City, the Anglo settlers were never really Mexicans.
... The settlers expected a say in their government (not a Mexican tradition), public schools to be built (not a Mexican tradition), freedom of religion (not a Mexican tradition), laws in English (not a Mexican tradition) and protection from Indians (the Mexican Army could not control this area). ... Realizing the gamble was going sour, Mexico made the first anti-immigration laws in the hemisphere. They tried to stem the tide of disloyal Anglos. But again, demographics are more important than paper.
The Texans officially won the technical sovereignty that had been theirs all along in 1836. Much of the rest of the previously Mexican "owned" area was ceded following the Mexican-American war of 1845. Herein lays the claim that it was "stolen."
...

The loss of the "Mexican land" of Texas to Anglos was clearly due to a cultural conflict. He refutes the "stolen land" argument by pointing out that the land was never really settled or controlled by Mexico. Could we have the same thing going on right now in Southern California? We are still allowing people with dual citizenship. Are we being overrun by a different culture that has feigned their allegiance and claims of assimilating? As Press says people's loyalty does not change due to a legal procedure.
This episode also shows us that it is hard to fill territory with a foreign population and still control it. That war and secession can result from such attempts is the lasting lesson of the Alamo. Those that do not learn the culturist lessons of the past may be condemned to repeat them.
The same comes when discussing the English language in this country. We are actively hamstringing ourselves by not requiring people to fit into our culture and to go for decades living in separate cultural enclaves within our country.
This is just a small example of what Press confronts head on in this book.
"If other cultures occupy your land, your values occupy that much less space. They have moved closer to disappearance." - John Kenneth Press
Press covers the heroes of western culture. People like Achilles, Aristotle and George Washington. he holds them up to the light and examines how their actions formed the basis of western culture.
He systematically destroys Multiculturalism for the sham that it is. Multiculturalism presents the absolute counter-productiveness of allowing an unlimited number of cultures within one nation. My favorite destructive point made by Press is that the all accepting multiculturalists, must then support headhunting cannibals being allowed to reside and continue their practice within the United States. For them not to do so is imposing a cultural judgment on them, which is exactly what they are saying they are against.
"Those dedicated to celebrating diversity, without qualifications, must praise human sacrifice, drug use, head hunting, slavery and female genital mutilation." - John Kenneth Press
Isn't it un-American though to present culture as more important than individual rights? Press addresses this reaction that some may have.
Many modern American's first reaction to the suggestion of culturism might be to call it "un-American." Many people mistakenly believe that America has always been defined by a dedication to unmitigated individual liberty and rights. Failures to live up to this dedication are treated as aberrations. In earlier times, however, the view of America was not so individualistic and rights-oriented.
Not shying away from things Press goes after the impact of religion on culture and growth. He compares Catholic based societies and Protestant based societies.
"Our having adopted the multiculturalist creed that our culture is not special may be dangerous." - John Kenneth Press
While we sit back, other countries are moving ahead with spreading their culture and beliefs. The Catholic church is helping the infiltration of our country regardless of cultural conflict. Meanwhile other groups are calling for diversity, saying that it reaps tremendous rewards. Press covers these attacks on our culture and nation.
Other cultures already know that control of land and heads are weapons of competition. The Catholic churches' support for open borders and high birth rates in the United States is an overt attempt to gain more land and heads. Mexico is supplying education materials to our students that argue that young American's loyalties should be to institutions south of our border. Islamic nations are setting up mosques and lobbying for greater immigration from Muslim countries. China lobbies for one-sided trade deals. We need to know that cultures compete and disappear. We need to know that lands and heads constitute the battlegrounds for cultural survival.
America and western culture are being assaulted from all sides. Increasingly people are ignoring the impacts and just assume that things will continue on as they always have been in this country with no differences. People put their heads in the sand while western culture continues its decline into obscurity. We are losing our cultural beliefs without a shot being fired. Worse yet, there are people in this country who are actively working towards this without even realizing it. These people need to get a copy of this book and read it!
Without pride; without remembering that we are a noble experiment that can fail; without consciously reinforcing our cultural underpinnings; without a strong economy; without protecting our lands from those who are indifferent or antagonistic to our culture; our civilizations share of heads and lands can recede.
"Logically, to argue that diversity within countries is an unqualified good, one would need to show that its presence always brings benefits and that a lack of diversity necessarily causes problems." - John Kenneth Press
I would highly recommend this book to everyone. I consider myself to be well read and a thinker, but some of the ideas and things of note that Press brings up I had not considered. The wider scheme and historical perspective of our culture - and that of other countries - really has made me look at things differently and to understand them a bit more.
I haven't even scratched the surface of what John Kenneth Press covers in this book. From cultural displays by animal groups to culture in nature, psychology, philosophy and world history, Press walks us through the history of cultures and how we can appreciate ours while respecting others.

Opening Friday
Blades of Glory - Will Ferrell and Jon Heder's figure-skating comedy offers a few prime gags but a flimsy premise that loses its novelty quickly. The idea sounds like a great little "Saturday Night Live" sketch: Ferrell's an arrogant rebel of a men's champ, Heder's his fastidious rival, and the two end up teaming as the first men's pair after they're barred for life from solo competition. And there's about enough funny material for a great little "Saturday Night Live" sketch. The trouble is, there's an extra 80 minutes or so of down time in which Ferrell, Heder and co-stars Craig T. Nelson, Jenna Fischer, Will Arnett and Amy Poehler are pretty much repeating their characters' shallow schtick again and again. (David Germain, Associated Press) 93 min. PG-13. Beechwood: 4:40, 7:10 and 9:25 p.m. daily starting Friday, with additional shows at 2:10 p.m. Friday-Sunday; Carmike: 12:30, 12:45, 2:45, 3, 5, 5:15, 7:15, 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. daily starting Friday, with additional shows at 11:45 p.m. and 12 a.m. Friday.
Meet the Robinsons - Presented in 3-D, Disney's newest film revolves around Lewis, a boy genius, and the Memory Scanner, his latest and greatest invention. (Trisha Klein, staff) 92 min. G. Beechwood: 4:15, 7 and 9:30 p.m. daily starting Friday, with additional shows at 1:35 p.m. Friday-Sunday; Carmike: 12:30, 2:50, 5:10, 7:30 and 9:45 p.m. daily starting Friday, with an additional show at 11:55 p.m. Friday.
The Lookout - This may look like just another bank heist caper, but it's actually a beautifully drawn character drama, and the rare film that manages to balance subtlety with suspense. Then again, that shouldn't seem too surprising coming from longtime screenwriter Scott Frank, an Oscar nominee for Steven Soderbergh's "Out of Sight" who also wrote the scripts for "Get Shorty" and "Minority Report," among many others. "The Lookout" also marks Frank's debut as a director, and he shows a keen instinct for eliciting strong performances from his talented young actors, especially Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Formerly of TV's "3rd Rock From the Sun," Gordon-Levitt is developing into an intriguing performer of unexpected depth. Here he plays a once-promising high school athlete who suffers a head injury in a car crash. One night, he makes some dangerous new friends (led by Matthew Goode and Isla Fisher) who talk him into serving as the lookout while they rob the bank where he works as a janitor. Except for a couple of coincidences that feel a bit too convenient, the script is close to perfect. (Christy Lemire, Associated Press) 99 min. R. Beechwood: 4:30, 7:25 and 9:55 p.m. daily starting Friday, with additional shows at 1:50 p.m. Friday-Sunday.
Peaceful Warrior -The film is adapted from Dan Millman's book "Way of the Peaceful Warrior," a combination of memoir and fiction about a brash young gymnast who learns to let inner serenity guide him rather than external pursuits and dreams of glory. (David Germain, Associated Press) 120 min. PG-13. Carmike: 1:15, 4:10, 7 and 9:50 p.m. daily starting Friday.
Leaving Town
Bridge to Terabithia - 95 min. PG. Beechwood: 4:30, 7:20 and 9:40 p.m. today only.
Ghost Rider - 110 min. PG-13. Carmike: 1:30, 4:15, 7 and 9:30 p.m. today only.
I Think I Love My Wife - 94 min. R. Beechwood: 4:40, 7:25 and 9:50 p.m. today only; Carmike: 1:05, 3:20, 5:35, 7:50 and 10 p.m. today only.
The Messengers - 117 min. PG-13. Georgia Square: 4:10, 7:10 and 9:50 p.m. today only.
Old Joy - 76 min. Not rated. Carmike: 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9:30 p.m. today only.
Now Playing
300 - Based on the Frank Miller graphic novel about the Battle of Thermopylae in ancient Greece. (Dallas Morning News) 116 min. R. Beechwood: 4:05, 7:05 and 9:45 p.m. today; 4:05, 7:05 and 9:50 p.m. daily starting Friday, with additional shows at 1:05 p.m. Friday-Sunday; Carmike: 1, 4, 7 and 9:45 p.m. daily, with an additional show at 11:45 p.m. Friday.
Army of Shadows - 145 min. Not rated. Ciné: 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. Monday.
Because I Said So - Everything about this movie screams out generic chick flick - and we mean scream, literally - from the forgettable title to the excruciatingly corny ending. In between, director Michael Lehmann runs through a veritable checklist of clichés. (Is it possible this man made the deliciously vicious "Heathers" nearly 20 years ago?) There are the unbelievable characters who say and do contrived, sitcommy things. The montages of shopping and furniture rearranging. The caffeinated score to punctuate all those wacky moments (Diane Keaton discovering online porn). The gaggle of women graphically discussing their sexual hijinks. And of course, the repeated cutaways to a cute dog reacting to all this shrill nonsense. Keaton plays the overly meddlesome, highly emotional mother of three daughters who worries that her youngest (Mandy Moore) will stay single the rest of her life. Naturally she crafts an Internet ad and secretly arranges the girl's dates. Gabriel Macht and Tom Everett Scott play the would-be suitors who are so vastly opposite, it's obvious whom we're meant to root for from the start. (Christy Lemire, Associated Press) 102 min. PG-13. Georgia Square: 4:05, 7:05 and 9:40 p.m. daily, with additional shows at 1:05 p.m. Saturday-Sunday.
Blood Diamond - Director Edward Zwick ("Glory," "The Last Samurai") takes an unflinching look at the brutality of the African diamond trade in this powerfully acted, vividly shot drama. Leonardo DiCaprio, Djimon Hounsou and Jennifer Connelly star as three disparate figures who start out using each other and end up wanting to help each other. "Blood Diamond" runs too long and the script from Charles Leavitt ("K-PAX") tends to get a bit preachy and didactic. But the intensity of this film is just spellbinding, with surprises around every corner - some of them horrifying. (Christy Lemire, Associated Press) 134 min. R. Georgia Square: 7 p.m. daily, with additional shows at 1 p.m. Saturday-Sunday; Tate: 3, 6 and 9 p.m. Friday-Sunday.
Breach - Anchored by a tremendous performance from Chris Cooper as real-life double agent Robert Hanssen, this spy thriller quietly but suspensefully unfolds the story of how colleagues cornered the FBI man after 20 years of selling secrets to the Russians. The film is a logical follow-up for director and co-writer Billy Ray, who previously took on the story of a real journalist exposed as a deceiver in "Shattered Glass." Ryan Phillippe plays a young FBI man assigned as an aide to Hanssen and ordered to report back to the agent (Laura Linney) leading a colossal investigation on the FBI veteran. Without blazing guns or monstrous explosions, the film plays out with cunning moderation and authenticity. An Academy Award winner for his supporting role in "Adaptation," Cooper rarely gets the chance to take the lead. He does so here with magnificent flair, presenting a cold, complicated character who's conflicted by compassion, arrogance, petty desires and phony patriotism. (David Germain, Associated Press) 110 min. PG-13. Georgia Square: 4:10, 7:10 and 9:50 p.m. daily starting Friday, with additional shows at 1:10 p.m. Saturday-Sunday.
Dead Silence - A widower looks for insight into his wife's murder in this thriller. 90 min. R. Beechwood: 4:35, 7:35 and 9:55 p.m. today only; Carmike: 1:10, 3:20, 5:30, 7:40 and 9:50 p.m. today; 9:50 p.m. daily starting Friday.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Groundbreaking video director Michel Gondry (Bjork, The White Stripes) teams up with the neurotic genius of screenwriter Charlie Kaufman ("Being John Malkovich," "Adaptation") for one of the most emotionally evocative and visually stunning films I've ever seen. While Jim Carrey gives the performance of his career (nary a talking butt to be found) as the charmingly awkward Joel to Kate Winslet's irresistibly free-spirited Clementine, Gondry and Kaufman may well be the real stars here. Euphoric, heartbreaking and surrealistically cathartic, "Eternal Sunshine" perfectly captures the complexity of true love and the human psyche. (Ryan Lewis, staff). 108 min. R. Tate: 8 p.m. today.
Happy Feet - Mixing some substance with its style, this animated story is different from the many computer-animated movies this year with its comments about a lot of subjects, including bigotry and the environment. It nabbed the Oscar for best animated film of the year. (Christy Lemire, Associated Press) 98 min. PG. 4:20, 7:20 and 9:55 p.m. daily, with additional shows at 1:20 p.m. Friday-Sunday.
The Hills Have Eyes 2 - Is this a sequel to last year's remake, or a remake of the original's sequel? You decide. (Dallas Morning News) 89 min. R. Beechwood: 4:15, 7:20 and 9:30 p.m. today; 4:10, 7:20 and 9:30 p.m. daily starting Friday, with additional shows at 1:20 p.m. Friday-Sunday; Carmike: 1:10, 3:20, 5:30, 7:40 and 9:50 p.m. daily, with an additional show at 11:50 p.m. Friday.
Japn - The 31-year-old Mexican writer-director Carlos Reygadas, in his first feature film, creates an obscure and haunting and unpredictable parable covering the same themes as Abbas Kiarostami's 1997 A Taste of Cherry. (Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews) Directed by Carlos Reygadas. Presented as part of the Latin American film series at UGA. 128 min. Not rated. Student Learning Center: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The Last Mimzy - A box of toys gives two siblings super powers. (Dallas Morning News) 90 min. PG. Beechwood: 5:30, 7:45 and 10 p.m. today; 4:25, 7:25 and 9:45 p.m. daily starting Friday, with additional shows 2 p.m. Friday-Sunday; Carmike: 1:15, 3:25, 5:35, 7:45 and 9:55 p.m. daily.
Little Children - Kate Winslet plays a stay-at-home mom who has an affair with stay-at-home dad in this adaptation of Tom Perrotta's novel. The second feature from Todd Field ("In the Bedroom") is a shrewd, darkly humorous look at supposed civility, at the ways in which we allow ourselves to settle and a rare depiction of motherhood as a less-than-awesome experience. (Christy Lemire, Associated Press) 137 min. R. Tate: 3, 6 and 9 p.m. Friday-Sunday.
Night at the Museum - This unqualified crowd pleaser finds Ben Stiller in top form (he hasn't been this funny since the tragically underrated "Starsky and Hutch") as a down-on-his-luck divorced dad trying to win back the respect of his serially disappointed son. The true genius of the film is that it manages to entertain while celebrating a message of universal acceptance and the benefits of learning from history while never seeming preachy. (Ryan Lewis, correspondent) 108 min. PG. Georgia Square: 4:15, 7:15 and 9:45 p.m. daily, with additional shows at 1:15 p.m. Saturday-Sunday.
The Player - 124 min. R. Ciné: 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Premonition - Sandra Bullock tries to derail a vision she had of her husband's death. 110 min. PG-13. Beechwood: 4:25, 7:15 and 9:40 p.m. daily, with additional shows at 1:40 p.m. Friday-Sunday; Carmike: 1, 3:15, 5:30, 7:45 and 10 p.m. daily, with an additional show at midnight Friday.

Pursuit of Happyness - There is never any doubt that Will Smith's Chris Gardner will muddle though, that he'll find a job, make some money, secure a home and achieve the elusive, intentionally misspelled state of the film's title. It's all predictable stuff. Yet Will Smith does make you root for him, because beneath the bad mustache and cheap suit he's actually acting and not just playing the clown, something he hasn't done in truly convincing fashion since "Six Degrees of Separation." (Christy Lemire, Associated Press) 116 min. PG-13. Georgia Square: 4 and 10 p.m. daily.
Reign Over Me - Don Cheadle helps his old friend Adam Sandler recover from losing his family on Sept. 11. (Dallas Morning News) 128 min. R. Beechwood: 4, 6:55 and 9:50 p.m. daily, with additional shows at 1:10 p.m. Friday-Sunday.
Shooter - The name of the movie is "Shooter," and for a while director Antoine Fuqua is right on target with this claustrophobic tale of conspiracies, lies and double-crosses. Ultimately, though, it collapses - as so many action films of lesser intelligence do - into a seemingly eternal series of explosions and false endings. Mark Wahlberg stars as Bob Lee Swagger (yes, seriously), the hero of Washington Post film critic Stephen Hunter's novel "Point of Impact," which provides the inspiration here. Swagger is a reclusive former Marine sniper who's asked to take part in that tried-and-true one last job. When the U.S. government learns of a planned assassination attempt on the president, Swagger must figure out how the shooter would do it - and then he gets framed for the shooting. With the help of an inexperienced FBI agent (Michael Pena) and the widow of his former partner (Kate Mara), Swagger outwits, outplays and outlasts dozens of heavily armed adversaries from a variety of agencies, both official and unofficial. Yes, he's a highly trained military stud, but after a while his ability to survive grows ridiculous. Danny Glover and Ned Beatty co-star. (Christy Lemire, Associated Press) 124 min. R. Beechwood: 3:55, 6:50 and 9:45 p.m. daily, with additional shows at 1:05 p.m. Friday-Sunday; Carmike: 1:45, 4:30, 7:15 and 10 p.m. daily.

TMNT - The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles return in an animated feature. (Dallas Morning News) 90 min. PG. Beechwood: 5:20, 7:30 and 9:40 p.m. daily, with additional shows at 1 and 3:10 p.m. Friday-Sunday; Carmike: 1, 3:10, 5:20, 7:30 and 9:40 p.m. daily, with an additional show at 11:50 p.m. Friday.
Wild Hogs - Biker buddies Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy are not all that wild, and more importantly, not all that funny. The road romp from director Walt Becker is like his "National Lampoon's Van Wilder" on Maalox, the humor and hijinks tame and tranquil as though it were a middle-aged epilogue to that raunchy campus comedy. The filmmakers simply fashion an excuse to send their weekend motorcyclists onto a cross-country road trip, then string together uninspired encounters with some fellow travelers and a hardcore biker gang headed by Ray Liotta, whose enthusiastic bad-boy performance is wasted in a woefully underwritten role. Marisa Tomei, Jill Hennessy and Tichina Arnold barely register as wives or lovers of our heroes. Most of the jokes and gags are boring or outright annoying, but the movie does have a surprise guest appearance that will amuse biker-film fans. (David Germain, Associated Press) 99 min. PG-13. Beechwood: 4:20, 7:10 and 9:35 p.m. daily, with additional shows at 1:30 p.m. Friday-Sunday; Carmike: 1, 3:15, 5:30, 7:45 and 10 p.m. daily.

I first fell in love last year with the entire Plush Pumpkin line when my good friend and renowned interior design blogger, Erin of House Of Turquoise hosted a Plush Pumpkin giveaway. I'll admit I was a little heartbroken I didn't win her giveaway last year, they were definitely on my list! Well, my heartbreak has since turned to glee as I was recently approached about reviewing a few pumpkins and acorns from the stunning Plush Pumpkin line.
As someone who grew up in a household where we didn't really "celebrate" Halloween (it was all about decorating for Christmas in October), I don't usually get excited about fall decor, but that was until I saw these pumpkins. I ADORE them! In fact every single person who has walked into my home since I received them has tried to take them or has offered to buy them from me. Sorry folks, they're not for sale or for grabs!
Not only are they adorable, but I love that these glam handmade (by Monya in Minnesota) velvet pumpkins are not only perfect for Halloween, but definitely Thanksgiving too! Can you believe that each pumpkin has a real pumpkin or gourd stem attached, and the velvet acorns are adorned with real acorn tops? The pumpkins come in various sizes and are currently available in 200 stores throughout the country. I have a feeling I'll be adding to my collection next year, I'm in love with the plum, pink and teal ones! Who am I kidding, I'll take them all in every color combination available!!! 😉
For more information on Plush Pumpkin or to purchase your own velvet pumpkins, acorns or mushrooms- please visit PlushPumpkin.com!
*I was not compensated in any way for my review. As always opinions are mine, all mine!

The Securities and Exchange Commission is about to launch a fact-finding mission probing two of the industry's fastest-growing investment products--hedge funds and exchange- traded funds (ETFs).
Harvey Pitt, the SEC's chairman, informed attendees in June at the Investment Company Institute's (ICI) annual shindig in Washington, D.C., of the regulator's plans to scrutinize some of the "sketchy" issues surrounding hedge funds. They include fraud, questionable marketing tactics, and conflicts associated with managing the funds in tandem with mutual funds.
Pitt's quest to root out potential evils in hedge funds begs the question: Is he really maneuvering to get Congress to give the SEC more authority over these unregulated investments? Industry officials I spoke with say Pitt is surely jockeying to wrangle more regulatory muscle, but it's not a pure power grab. After all, investor protection, transparency, and fraud are legitimate issues that need to be addressed.
"Hedge funds require you to do your own due diligence, so anything that is imposed on hedge fund managers by the SEC as requirements for them to comply with can only be helpful," argues Robert Levitt, a planner with Levitt Capital Management in Boca Raton, Florida. "There are some hedge funds that need more oversight. There are a lot of [hedge fund managers] out there who have put up their shingles without [meeting] any requirements."
Jack Gaine, president of the Managed Funds Association in Washington, D.C., welcomes Pitt's probe, and says the tremendous growth of the hedge fund industry--in assets under management as well as in the number of funds and managers--has sparked an upsurge in fraud cases. "Some cases have made newspaper headlines, and [Pitt] seems to want to get a handle on that. I think he's open-minded about it," Gaine says. "I don't see any preconceived result [to the SEC investigation]."
Jeff Joseph, managing director of HedgeWorld (and a regular contributor to Investment Advisor) says that any industry that experiences a sharp acceleration in growth is prone to problems, and the hedge fund industry--with nearly 6,000 funds and $600 billion in assets--has certainly seen its share: two or three fraud cases or manager blowups per year are commonplace now.
How Transparent?
The surge in fraud cases is the motivating factor behind the SEC's study of hedge funds, Joseph believes, and not the popular issue of transparency. "There's so much discussion about portfolio transparency. To many investors, it's not particularly meaningful because look at the level of transparency investors have had with mutual funds in the past: a little Morningstar page that gives them top five holdings or style breakdown or sector allocations," he says. "But transparency at the portfolio level in terms of looking at what the manager owns, even in the mutual fund world, that's often 60 to 80 days behind."
The real issue of transparency comes at the manager level, Joseph says. So HedgeWorld recently partnered with NCO Financial Investigative Services Inc. to create HedgeWorld's Manager Background reports. "We decided to take an investor advocacy position with respect to transparency as well, but from a different perspective," he says. These reports enable investors "to really know who their manager is and make sure there isn't any prior incidence of financial malfeasance or fraud or bankruptcy or judgments, any type of financial deed that would be material to an investor's due diligence."
Joseph says he's all for the SEC's regulatory arm reaching far enough to help guarantee investors quality products. But he'd be concerned if that authority stretched into areas that tamper with the hedge fund industry's independence. "Hedge funds are this great bastion of capitalism," he says, "and one of their great advantages is their low barriers to entry, which can also be a disadvantage--anybody can get the business, but not anyone can stay in the hedge fund business. The fees are higher, and only those who deserve these fees hit the critical mass that allows them to be successful hedge fund managers."
The higher fee structure and low barrier to entry tend to attract the best and the brightest to the industry, Joseph says, and any missteps the SEC might make to interrupt this inflow of managers would prove detrimental to investors. "The advantage of the hedge fund arena is the great talent pool; you don't want to dissuade the talent from entering."
Areas like marketing and managing private vehicles alongside mutual funds do deserve a critical eye. "Mutual fund managers that also manage hedge funds [create] a potential conflict, and I think that's an area [Pitt] should certainly look at," asserts the Managed Fund Association's' Gaine. "Mutual fund investors shouldn't be disadvantaged in favor of hedge fund investors."
As for marketing of hedge funds, Joseph says registered products offering lower minimums are popping up left and right, ushering in a "retailization" of hedge funds. But he hasn't seen "any aggressive marketing going out to unaccredited investors." Gaine concurs: "Hedge funds are limited, by and large, to accredited investors and qualified purchasers, and if they are being sold to others, that's a violation of Regulation D."
"The Weakest Link"
Planner Levitt, who has clients' cash spread among 20 different hedge funds, has become perturbed with the wave of hedge fund managers and marketing firms for hedge fund firms who solicit business through walk-in visits. He shies away from such managers, whom he calls "the weakest link in the hedge fund chain."
But Joseph says this attitude is shortsighted, and that "advisors are smart enough to know that one or two hedge funds that knock on their door represent only one or two out of a universe of 4,000 or 5,000." And uninvited hedge funds require the same due diligence measures as those funds that advisors have chosen themselves, and they can turn out to be sound investments, he says.
ETFs, meanwhile, have piqued the SEC's curiosity of late, largely because of their huge growth. There are now more than 100 of them, with close to $90 billion in assets. The SEC is being called on to bless new versions of ETFs, ones matching the returns of fixed-income indexes as well as actively managed ones, and is pondering how to regulate these vehicles. The SEC gave an okay in May to Barclays Global Investors to launch seven ETFs based on bond indexes. The ETFs should be available this month.
The SEC says it wants to get a clearer picture of fund distribution practices and proxy voting by investment advisors. But Lee Kranefuss, CEO of individual investors business at Barclays, believes it's a matter of time before the commission gives a nod to actively managed ETFs. "When it comes to any new product innovation, in the ETF arena or anywhere, where there is a compelling value proposition it's a matter of when and not if," he says.
SEC approval of Barclays' fixed-income ETFs was a step forward in the development of these instruments. The assent was pretty easy to come by, since the fixed-income ETFs operate in a similar fashion to equity ones.
One of the great advantages of fixed-income ETFs, Kranefuss says, is that the package of bonds will be trading all day on equity markets. Bond ETFs, he says, "take a lot of the transparency of the equity market and make that available to bond investors."
Tricky Business
But actively managed ETFs will be trickier to regulate. Pitt, in his speech at the ICI conference, said he's concerned about "whether arbitrage mechanisms for actively managed ETFs are effective in moderating any premium or discount to a fund's NAV." When considering an active fund, "you open a completely different can of worms because in an index fund, there's no reason not to publish the basket [of stocks]," Kranefuss explains.
Advisors like Barclays ETFs, called iShares, Kranefuss says, because they are getting professional management and diversification while simultaneously knowing exactly what they own. "They can go on to our Web site and look up [the ETF] and find out how it overlaps with other holdings in their portfolio," he says. "Transparency is one of the greatest benefits to financial advisors."
But with an active strategy, "a manager usually considers having to reveal twice a year what the portfolio holdings were to be a terrible problem--a violation of privacy and an opportunity for competitors to copy it, or to position against them," Kranefuss says. "So there's a real public policy issue."
"There is a conundrum," he adds. "There is clearly a reason in traditional active strategies not to share information as freely as has typically been the approach with ETFs, and which keeps ETFs tracking at a fair value," he says. So the question is, "How much disclosure would hurt the active strategy, versus how much disclosure is needed in order to ensure people are getting fair prices?" Finding a way to make that all come together is what the ETF industry is grappling with now.

If you love the beach, you have to look great in your bikini. However, dark spots on the butt can seriously hurt your beauty. How do you deal with such unsightly spots? Chemical remedies can be effective, but they are often associated with serious side effects. It's good if you can find butt lightening gels that are safe to use. The good news is that natural butt whitening solutions are also available. The wonderful thing about these remedies is their safety, affordability, and efficacy.
Let us learn more about some of the best natural solutions when it comes to butt whitening that are truly useful in achieving female wellness and health. In fact, even men can make use of them.
You can try the following:
· Papaya fruit
Papaya is present in many skin care products including toners, creams, lotions, beauty soaps among others. Researchers have found certain enzymes with skin whitening properties within this common fruit. Rubbing a cube of well ripe papaya fruit on the butt daily can whiten the skin.
· Citric acid
Citric acid naturally occurs in any fruit belonging to the citrus group. You can readily get citric acid from lemon and orange fruits. Squeeze lemon juice into one cup and orange juice into another cup. Add equal proportions of these juices into a third container. Apply the mixture directly onto the skin of your butt. Alternatively, you can add some orange and lemon peels or oats to the mixture and use it to scrub. Citric acid contains vitamin C, which is highly effective in lightening skin.
· Tomato fruit
Tomatoes are not only delicious but also great as skin whitening remedy. Tomatoes, like orange and lemon fruits, also contain a certain amount of citric acid. Besides vitamin C, the fruit is also thought to contain powerful skin lightening ingredients that are yet to be named. Cut portions of a well ripe tomato fruit and rub it on your butt. You will soon see the fruit's skin whitening effects.
· Calamansi fruit
Native to the Philippines, Calamansi fruit is quickly gaining popularity as one of the most effective natural butt whitening solutions. You can readily access the small fruit if you are living in the Philippines or just visiting. It is an effective alternative to lemon and orange fruits. Calamansi is fruit highly acidic and contains other powerful skin whitening ingredients. You can scrub your butt with ripe Calamansi fruit every day to lighten skin.
Final thought
Using natural methods to whiten your butts is a great idea. The remedies are readily available in your local stores. Do not expect to see desired results overnight. You need to cultivate high levels of patience to see results. If you want to use an effective product on the market, see http://analbleachingblueprint.com/creams-and-kits/pink-privates-reviews/.

Louisville Trinity's Brian Brohm was the marquee name when it came to quarterbacks in the Bluegrass State last season.
There was another signal caller, however, whose junior season made even the remarkable Rivals100 member's numbers look almost ordinary by comparison.
Elizabethtown standout Chris Todd had one of the most prolific seasons in Kentucky history, completing 303 of 476 attempts (64 percent) for 4,595 yards and 50 touchdowns. His performance helped lead the Panthers to a 12-3 record and a state runner-up finish in Class 2A.
Article Continues Below
His 4,595 yards fell just 35 yards short of the all-time state record for passing yardage, and Todd's career yardage now stands at 7,586, No. 13 on a career list that includes names like Tim Couch, Chris Redman, Jared Lorenzen, Gino Guidugli and Brohm.
Asked what makes Todd such a productive passer at this stage in his career, E-town coach Brett Burnett said it's a combination of several factors.
"For starters, Chris is a student of the game," he said. "His dad is the offensive coordinator, so he's had good teaching. He does all the little things right, and he's a hard worker. He's always trying to get better.
"On the field, he does a great job of reading defenses and making the right decisions. For such a young kid, he really does a nice job of going through progressions and finding the open receiver.
"He throws with great touch on the ball, whether it's the short, quick stuff we run in our West Coast offense, or the deep ball. We don't throw it long a whole lot, but he's got the arm to do it. Plus, he's got really nice mobility when he gets in sticky situations. He's got real good pocket presence."
Colleges are already flooding Burnett's mailbox and answering machine at E-town.
"We've had a ton of interest in Chris since the end of the season," Burnett said. "With the stats he put up and the success of the team last year, everybody wants to see his film. I've sent them out to everybody in the SEC, Louisville, Indiana, Notre Name, USC, North Carolina…
"North Carolina got back to us real quick and offered. I think that's just the first of many for Chris. He's got the potential to be a great one."
Todd (6-2, 185, 4.65) took an unofficial visit to Louisville this past week. He's scheduled to attend Kentucky's junior day event on March 7.
"He likes those in-state teams," Burnett said. "I think they'll both be on his list. But he's pretty open-minded about the whole thing. He'll probably keep his options open to see how things develop."
Todd is also a well-rounded student-athlete. He maintains a 3.8 GPA and has scored a 24 on the ACT.

Time for the final step
Maryland Senator Ben Cardin recently introduced a resolution aimed at inching America toward the final step in a long battle for equality.
His resolution would remove the deadline for state ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment – the once-controversial addition to the U.S. Constitution that would make a clear and permanent statement that discrimination on the basis of sex is illegal.
The ERA passed Congress in 1972. It required that threefourths of the states ratify the amendment within seven years. The deadline was extended, and 35 of the 38 states required have ratified the document, which has been introduced into Congress every year since 1972.
This is the amendment in its entirety: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."
While the necessity for such a statement seems out of date, it isn't. Certainly American society and culture has evolved a great deal since the ERA became a topic of vehement debate in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
It is no longer expected that a woman will take second place to a man in the professional world, or that she will set aside her ambitions and talents simply because she was born a woman. Thankfully, it has become commonplace to see women in positions of significant leadership – as Secretary of State, as media owners, as CEOs of major corporations.
While not all women seek or reach those high-profile positions, the girls and young women of today see professional success, and so many other things, are a possibility for them. That wasn't always the case. And it certainly wasn't the case in 1923 when suffragist leader Alice Paul wrote the simple words of the ERA.
It is long past time for our nation, "conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal," to take the final step to officially include women in the equality that makes us stand out as a world leader.
No progress toward gender equality is finished until we can assure the girls and women of today that their rights are clearly and permanently protected by the document that guides all of our civic actions as Americans.

Nathan Scott Philips is Meatwad's pet snake that Master Shake ordered for him from a mail order catalog in Super Birthday Snake. Shake was actually supposed to order Meatwad a pet rabbit, but in typical form decides to be a dick and order a venomous snake instead.
When the snake arrives, Shake insists it's actually a bunny, and Meatwad attempts to accept him as a pet despite not looking like a rabbit by stapling pipe cleaners (shaped like bunny ears) to his head. The infuriated snake then bites Meadwad a number of times, apparently injecting him with venom, then swallows him whole.
Frylock and Shake force-feed Nathan a large amount of beer in an attempt to get it to vomit up Meatwad. Instead, the snake gets drunk and passes out, and Meatwad gets drunk inside the snake's stomach as well. After further antagonism, Nathan swallows Master Shake also, and he too gets drunk from the booze in the snake's stomach. Frylock makes the final decision to blow the snake open with his laser lenses, against the drunken protests of both Meatwad and Shake. But the plan backfires, and kills all three of them, which leads to massive regret and a nihilistic personality change in Frylock. By the end of the episode, it is revealed that everything was a computer simulation created by Frylock to prove to Meatwad that he's not mature enough to have a pet, however it is revealed that THAT was a simulation that was created by Meatwad to prove to Frylock that he doesn't know what Meatwad likes and likes to do.
- His model is frequently used for when the show needs a snake.
- His existence can be debated as he was revealed to be part of a virtual reality.

I was excited a few weeks ago when one of the lemon seeds I planted finally sprouted. Quickly after there were two, as you can see in the photo.
Now there are many!
I find it strange that those first two sprouts are not the happiest or largest seedlings, but whatever.
Last time I counted there are about nine seedlings. I am excited because when I put them in the soil one seed already had some green coming out of it. I anticipated sprouts really quickly, but time kept passing by, and nothing. I thought I had bad seeds and just kept adding more seeds to the same cup of dirt. At one point I decided none of them were going to sprout, then all at once, they started popping up. Even now more green seedlings emerge every day. (Like two more yesterday).
First let me say I am not an expert.
Now that is out of the way, apparently lemon trees can grow in containers, and make great indoor plants. You can start them in a cup and they should not need transplanting for a year even if there are two seedlings.
How I did it
Use lemon; on fish, your hair, in food, lemonaide, however.
Keep seeds.
Wash them. Lemony pulp is no good for growing seeds.
Fill a glass halfway with water. Put all seeds in the water.
Throw away the ones that float. (they will not germinate) Place other seeds in soil.
Water soil. Until sprouts emerge soils needs to remain moist, but not swimming.
Place on a sunny window sil, and wait.
Note, if you live in a colder climate you may want to put cling wrap over the top to maintain moisture and warmth. I did not do that to test this, but allegidly it works.
Thats it your done!
Now go make some lemonaide and plant your free seeds with your children. They will love you for letting them play with dirt.
I feel I should add that these seeds do not sprout quickly and while this activity can be virtually free, it is not necessarily the best "plant" for impatient toddlers. In that case green beans are better. Either way this can be fun.

System Design and Management
The mission of the System Design and Management Program (SDM) is to educate future technical leaders in architecture, engineering, and designing complex products and systems, preparing them for careers as the technically grounded senior managers of their enterprises. SDM intends to set the standards for delivering career-compatible professional education using advanced information and communication technologies. SDM was one of MIT's early entries into the field of distance education and remains the only degree-granting program at MIT that can be earned primarily from a remote location.
The SDM program is a joint offering of the School of Engineering and the Sloan School of Management, leading to a Master of Science degree in engineering and management. Targeted for professional engineers with three or more years of experience, the program centers on a 13-course curriculum in systems, engineering, and management, including a project-based thesis. It offers three curricular options: a 13-month in-residence format; a 24-month distance education for company-sponsored students, requiring one academic semester in-residence at MIT; and a 24-month on-campus program for self-supporting students who can obtain a research assistantship in one of MIT's labs or centers. The program was conceived as an alternative to the MBA for professional engineers, allowing working professionals to pursue a degree without interrupting their careers and relocating themselves and their families.
Denny Mahoney, Director of SDM Fellows, completed his second year in that position, providing a much-needed stability to program leadership. Co-Directors for the program include Paul Lagace, Bill Hanson, and Steve Eppinger. As of July 1, 2001, Steve Eppinger, General Motors Leaders for Manufacturing (LFM) Professor of Management at the Sloan School of Management, will assume the LFM-SDM Co-Director's position when Steve Graves will be appointed Chair of the Faculty.
Student Statistics
In January 2001, SDM admitted its fifth class, enrolling 37 students. In all, 11 organizations sponsored students in the incoming class, including LFM-SDM partner companies: United Technologies Corporation (UTC) (3), Ford Motor Company (10), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) (10), Eastman Kodak (1).
In June 2001, SDM graduated its third full class. Forty of the 49 graduates attended the commencement ceremony to receive their degrees-a testament to the cohesiveness of this distance education group. The graduating class includes 11 employees from Ford, 10 from UTC, eight from Xerox, one from Eastman Kodak, as well as employees from Polaroid, Visteon, GM Delphi, GTE, Honeywell, Intel, the U.S. Navy, and Gemcor.
SDM continues to draw from a wide range of companies for its students. This past year, ArvinMeritor sponsored three students in the January 2001 class and has expressed interest in participating in the LFM-SDM partnership. Xerox, a long-time supporter of SDM, did not sponsor any employees this year because of difficult economic times for the corporation. United Technologies Corporation, which usually enrolls a significant number of employees into each SDM cohort, only sponsored three employees in SDM who were all from Pratt & Whitney, one of UTC's divisions. Several other business units within UTC, most notably Sikorsky and Otis Elevator, which normally sponsors students in SDM, did not do so last year because of internal reorganization. UTC, however, expects to increase its overall participation in SDM in the next intake as a result of a new educational partnership.

System Integration Project
This past year, LFM-SDM and UTC embarked on a new educational venture. UTC has identified 11 core capabilities that the corporation believes must be strengthened across all the business units for UTC to remain competitive in the next century. For each capability, UTC will partner with a university that can deliver the highest quality education to its workforce in each of these areas. UTC proposed that LFM-SDM serve as its partner for one of these competencies-Systems Engineering. UTC believes that much of the current SDM curriculum addresses many of the required capabilities needed for systems engineering that they have identified as important across the UTC business units.
The project team has segmented the educational process into four target populations-a group of experts enrolled in the SDM program, a second group of experts enrolled in UTC-MIT's Systems Integration Certificate Program, the managers/facilitators of the experts, and implementers/doers. A holistic approach recognizes that each target population is part of a larger whole and tries to identify the critical points and people in a process where new knowledge must be applied.
The project team identified the certificate program as its priority, and a pilot class of 12 students will begin the new certificate program starting fall 2001. It is expected that this project will not only provide the Institute with an important experiment in lifelong learning, but will also solidify a higher level of enrollment by UTC employees in the regular SDM program.
Distance Education Delivery
As MIT's premier degree program offered at a distance, SDM has recognized its leadership role at the Institute regarding the practice of distance education and is in a process of evaluating its delivery with the goal of increasing the quality of the remote-learning experience while reducing costs.
Specific distance education accomplishments include:
- SDM's continuation to deliver the full range of SDM course offerings to all of its students;
- The adaptation of other courses for the distance education medium of multi-point videoconferencing to as many as 15 simultaneous company sites;
- Jan Klein's funding by NASA and Ford Motor Company on a proposal to apply her research on Virtual Teams to improving the SDM distance learning experience. She conducted a survey and will introduce and measure specific change elements into the program;
- SDM's efforts to experiment with new distance formats. For example, when SDM students could not get into Rebecca Henderson's Technology Strategy course because of over-enrollment, SDM program administrators created a course format in which SDM distance students received the core of Henderson's teaching via videotape. This included videoconference recitations and a half-day workshop on campus facilitated by Henderson herself. A similar approach was taken with Steve Eppinger's Product Design and Development course in the spring.
- Another experiment with Systems Dynamics, in which Jim Hines, a senior lecturer in the Sloan School, is offering a web-based, asynchronous course to SDM students both on and off campus, during summer 2001.
SDM will continue to explore effective ways of making course materials available to distance students.

Wanted: Women Who Can "Belch On Command" [VIDEO]
Hey ladies, can you belch with the best of them?
An advertising agency in St. Louis has an ad on the local Craigslist there looking for women who can "belch on command". Some of the applicants will be featured in a "fizzy" drink commercial. They're offering $750.
They're looking for ladies who can produce belches "from small, quiet burps to monstrously loud belches".
While researching this story I was amazed at how popular belching video compilations on You Tube are. They're are enough videos just like the one above that could keep you busy long enough to finish off that case of Schlitz.

Hundreds of volunteers turned out in Hastings on Saturday morning to fill sandbags, which will be used to protect homes in east Hastings from rising floodwaters.
In all, more than 20,000 sandbags were filled by volunteers. Some of the sandbags were put to use immediately at two homes in east Hastings. Long lines of volunteers passed the sandbags from the street to the homes.
The effort was coordinated by Bless Hastings and the City of Hastings.
The sandbagging took place in the parking lot of Christ Family Church.

Dying in a peaceful way
"Don't cry; be happy for me."
Those were the words our 48-year-old daughter said to us three years ago as she lay dying from metastatic breast cancer, much like the mother of Nancy Watkins, as described in "Death unvarnished; 'I never thought about what it would be like to die'" (Perspective, March 23). But unlike Watkins' mother, our Lori succumbed to death free of pain in a peaceful way at the hospice facility she and her husband had chosen, Rainbow Hospice.

Chicago Tribune, on Hastert's wise concession:
House Speaker Dennis Hastert displayed the kind of pragmatism on Wednesday that has served him well in politics.
This time, it will serve his party and his nation well, too.
At Hastert's behest, the House voted to restore the rules that govern the work of its ethics committee.
Republicans had changed the rules to make it easier for either political party to block an investigation of one of its members.
The Democrats had refused to operate under that change, the committee was at a standstill, and that was making the Republicans look very bad. ...
(House Majority Leader Tom) DeLay supported the decision to restore the committee rules and said Wednesday he was gathering 10 years worth of travel records for the committee to peruse.
He should go one big step further and step down as majority leader while the investigation runs its course.
If he's cleared, bring him back.
But if he's not -- if the committee finds that DeLay has broadly abused his power -- the GOP will be better off if DeLay has already departed from the leadership.
The committee shouldn't stop with DeLay. ... Democrats deserve credit for holding out until the ethics committee rules were restored.
Now we'll see if Democrats also support vigorous investigations on both sides of the aisle. ...

Just got a call from this organization - As I was loading the organization into the charity navigator site, while the caller was talking, he asked if he could count on my support. I said that he could send me information and I would research the organization to see if it was something we would be interested in donating to. Click. That was it. Guess that says it all.

Olney (Md.) Good Counsel athlete Marcel Ngachie holds four scholarships. The 5-foot-11, 212-pounder is remaining patient as new interest is starting to come in.
"I still have the same offers from Delaware, Hawaii, Syracuse and Virginia," he said. "Maryland is talking to me along with UMass and James Madison.
"They have just come by school and said they are interested. Contact will surely pick up once the season is over with."
Article Continues Below
At the moment though, Ngachie has four offers. Is he doing much with his recruitment?
"Not right now," he said. "Right now I'm focusing on our season and a championship. Once the season is over, I'll see. I am going to try to take some unofficial visits, but I haven't really scheduled anything yet."
The two-star went so far as to say that none of the schools truly stand out amongst the group. But, he does have some idea what he wants in his future team.
"At this point, I'm just worried about playing time and then it's academics and the weight program," he said. "Those are the things I'm looking for in a college."
Ngachie has helped Good Counsel to a 6-1 record.
"I've been playing well," he said. "Our defense is really playing good and I can trust my teammates.
"I think I'm a lot faster this year. Nobody is perfect, but I'm missing less tackles this year than last and playing well."

WASHINGTON {AP} In a tangled test of wills with the Bush administration, Sen. Jesse Helms is blocking confirmation of a fistful of Treasury Department officials and slowing approval for others as he seeks relief for the textile industry.
"I'm not going to let it go unnoticed that about 4,000 people (in North Carolina) will lose their jobs who are not trained to do anything else," said Helms, R-N.C. He stepped in months ago to influence obscure Customs Service regulations implementing a 2000 trade bill.
Helms' move quickly drew the attention of the White House, followed by expressions of irritation from the chairman of the House committee with jurisdiction over trade issues.
"The whole idea of blackmailing an administration, either Republican or Democrat, has probably outlived its usefulness," said Rep. Bill Thomas, R-Calif., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Administration officials speak more respectfully of Helms, a conservative, 29-year veteran of the Senate who long ago earned a nickname as "Senator No."
The deadlock has grown to involve a remarkable cast of senior government officials, including President Bush, Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill and Senate Republican Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss.
Helms recently prodded Bush about the matter during a telephone call.
Officials hoped Vice President Dick Cheney could broker a compromise when O'Neill and Thomas flew with him late last week aboard Air Force Two.
Also with a stake is Roger Milliken, a textile magnate and one of the world's wealthiest men as well as a political ally of Helms. So, too, do competing special interest groups, ranging from the American Textile Manufacturers' Institute on Helms' side, to cotton, yarn-spinning and apparel interests on the other.
"Basically, this should have been taken care of in the first week of the administration," said Jock Nash, Washington counsel for Milliken & Co. of Spartanburg, S.C. "Now it has morphed into this huge challenge."
By custom, senators may prevent a vote on nominations by placing a "hold" on them.
Helms' holds are on Kenneth Dam, named second-ranking official in the Treasury Department; and senior officials Peter Fisher, James Gurule, and Michele Davis. All had confirmation hearings in March. Their nominations were sent to the Senate floor in May.
