An amendment that would have limited the National Security Agency's power to collect the electronic records of American citizens failed in the House of Representatives by a vote of 217-205, Reuters reports[1].
The amendment, which Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) proposed adding to the defense appropriations bill, received both bipartisan support and opposition. 111 Democrats and 94 Republicans voted for the amendment, while 83 Democrats and 134 Republicans voted against it.
Cosponsoring the amendment were Amash's Republican colleagues Thomas Massey (Ky.) and Mick Mulvaney (S.C.) and Democrats John Conyers (Mich.) and Jared Polis (Colo.).
While amendments to spending bills can't technically mandate changes in policy, Amash's amendment would have defunded the program. After that amendment failed, an alternative NSA-directed amendment was drafted by Rep. Richard Nugent (R-Fla.) and bought to the floor by Intelligence Committee member Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.) with the support of House leadership, according to Politico[2].
The latter amendment passed by an overwhelming margin of 409-12. But supporters of Amash's amendment contend that the successful amendment merely maintains the status quo.
Amash tweeted a pledge to "fight on"[3] and noted the close nature of the vote, saying "If just 7 Reps had switched their votes, we would have succeeded."
The defense appropriations bill itself passed with a vote of 315-109, and allocated nearly $600 billion to the Pentagon for the 2014 fiscal year.

During a pre-Super Bowl interview with NBC's Matt Lauer, he asked if President Obama deserves another four years reminding the President that he had told him in a 2009 interview that if the economy does not recover, he would be a one-term president.
So, the President conveyed about his accomplishments in the short time he had for the Superbowl audience here and here reminding the American people that we have saved an auto industry and about one million jobs that could have been lost, stopped lose of about 750,000 jobs a month and now we are creating 250,000 a month, created 3.7 million jobs in the last 23 months, ended the war in Iraq, ended the discriminatory policies of "Don't Ask Don't Tell" and created the most manufacturing jobs since 1990.
Well, the time the President had during the pre-Super Bowl interview to share to the American people about why he deserves a second term was just too short so I am hear to speak on his behave to the American people. As Democrats, it is our responsibility to shape the message so voters know about what this President and the 111 Congress was able to achieve and how the 112 Republican Congress has slowed our country from getting even ahead wishing a bad economy would make President Obama look bad.
Below the fold is a summation the Obama Administration's accomplishments to date to remind us all about what it means to have a leader that can actually pass legislation and effect the kind of change that guided the State of our country's affair in the right path.
This is also a reminder about why we need to reverse the power structure in 2012 by electing more and better Democrats to achieve more of what we had started. I understand some folks will try to undermine the progress we have made but we must highlight them so that the false narrative of some does not feel like the reality.
Share it to all that you think will help inform and to those who appreciate what we President Obama has accomplished in his first term. And, tell 'em that these were all possible because we had a Democratic Majority in the first two years of the Obama Administration and why it is important not to be complaisant come election 2012 where we have to retake the power structure back.

USB ID Tag Stores More Than Your Address
Bare Bones: USB ID Tag
If you haven't lost a pet, then you're pretty lucky – I'm still sad when I think about little Scooter. Thousands of animals go missing every day and only a small portion of them are ever found. Thankfully, with technological advances, there are more tracking options for families with animals – as long as the finder takes the time to look for them. Microchips like HomeAgain are implanted under a pet's skin, and offer other services like vet and shelter alerts, poster making services, and pet ID cards that help you cover a broader area during your search.
I've already told you that my lil' guy has a microchip and an ID tag, but I think adding this USB ID Tag ($40) could prove useful in other situations as well. Storing essential information like owner address, phone number, alternate contacts, dietary restrictions, medications, and photos, it's also helpful for pet sitters, too. That way next time your pet checks into a hotel or goes to the vet, you can guarantee you have all his information on hand . . . or, in this case, right around his neck!

Brendan Bell made a case for himself last night.
The Senators defenceman scored a pair of goals in Ottawa's 4-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres, again showing flashes of what he can do at this level.
"My career is at stake here," said the 25-year-old Ottawa native after the first two-goal game of his 88-game NHL career. "The better I play down the stretch, the more opportunity there is going to be for me. I'm going to try to keep playing like that and make it as hard on them as possible."
Consistency and intensity, particularly in his own end, have been the issues for Bell over his career. Upgrading those areas is his ticket to stay because he has certainly shown he can contribute at the other end of the rink on a team that has been looking for defencemen to move the puck.
Bell's goals, to go along with one each from Dany Heatley and captain Daniel Alfredsson and an effort Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff called embarrassing, put a dent in the Sabres' playoff hopes as they had entered the game three points out of the eighth and final playoff spot. They managed just one shot in the second period and only 13 on the night and that was after jumping in front 2-0 in the first period on goals by Tony Lydman and Jason Pominville.
"I'm very disappointed. I'm embarrassed with the way we played the last 40 minutes," said Ruff.
"It's not acceptable at this time of the year."
At one point last night, the Sabres took seven straight minors, handing the Senators the momentum in the game. Heatley scored his 33rd of the season 93 seconds into the second period, just after a Buffalo penalty expired, to get the Senators going. Bell scored his first of the night at 6:06 on the power play to tie it.
Alfredsson converted a pretty saucer pass from Jason Spezza -- who had a strong night -- on a 2-on-1 at 3:30 of the third for the winner on the power play, and Bell salted it away at 11:26 with the man advantage.
"Any time you get two goals, you've got to feel good," said Bell. "Both goals were the result of good plays by other players. I'm not going to score a lot. I was fortunate to get in two good spots."
The Senators, who probably can't afford another loss to keep their all-but-dead playoff hopes alive, won for the sixth time in seven games to move within a game of the break-even mark: 29-30-10.
The win was the sixth straight for rookie goaltender Brian Elliott, equalling the longest such stretch for a Senators rookie (Jani Hurme and Ray Emery also won six).
"We're playing some good hockey right now. We put ourselves in a huge hole earlier this season, but we still have a chance (to make the playoffs)," said Bell. "That's our mentality right now."
They are now 12-6-3 under coach Cory Clouston, who took over from the fired Craig Hartsburg.
"We feel good about our game right now," said Clouston. "We feel confident if we get down a goal or two. We understand it's a long game and if we stick to our game plan, we can have success."
A long string of penalties kept the play in the Sabres zone for most of the second.
With the Sabres spending all their time defending, they managed just one shot in the second period for a total of seven through 40 minutes. They had scored their second goal with their sixth shot.
"We played a pretty solid game and the shots were a good indication of that," said Heatley. "They were taking penalties because we were skating so well."
Tomorrow night, the Senators host the Montreal Canadiens, who lost in a shootout to the Rangers last night and slipped into seventh place in the Eastern Conference.

surrogacy and Tricare
Can someone point me in the right direction of where I can find info about using Tricare for a surrogacy pregnancy.
I have a friend who is acting as a surrogate, but I dont believe Tricare is paying for any of it, I think the parents to be are.
Are you looking for a surrogate, or looking to be a surrogate?
If you call Tricare, ask to speak to a supervisor. That has been the only way I got answers in the past about things that they probably don't have to answer often.
when we were talking to them*I was looking at being one* they will cover the pregnancy and delivery, but the second the baby is born they dont cover the baby. they HAVE to cover the pregnancy because it is the tricare patient that is being covered. at least that is what I was told. but they wont cover if someone else is being your surrogate and they dont cover treatments for you to get pregnant with a surrogate baby. at least that is what I was told when I talked to them
Yes, I am looking into being a gestational surrogate. I didn't want to call them because I was afraid they would maybe make a note of the call and that some how would mess up my maternity coverage for any future biological babies we would want to have. The applications are asking about insurance and I just needed to know if they would cover the pregnancy it self and if there was a limit to how many pregnancies they would cover.
Thanks everyone.

Media Design School graduates Isak Edstrom and William Bentley are finalists in the 16th annual Animago Awards, which are currently underway in Potsdam-Babelsberg (near Berlin), and short Film Dr Grordborts Presents: The Deadliest Game is also in the running.
Media Design School graduates Isak Edstrom and William Bentley are finalists in the 16th annual Animago Awards, which are currently underway in Potsdam-Babelsberg (near Berlin), Germany.
Isak and William, who both graduated the Diploma of Advanced 3D Productions this year, were selected for the 3D still-life photos they created as students.
Meanwhile, Dr Grordbort Presents: The Deadliest Game - completed in 2011 by students Benjamin Van de Laar, Brendan Naylor, Charles Cumming, Don Bradford, Eden Nicolson, Jared Taylor, Kimberley Veale, Manuel Piña, Mike Aslin, Richard Falla, Sergej Žlahtic - has been selected for a Jury Prize.
We caught up with Isak and William to find out a bit more about their work.
Isak Edstrom - The End
Isak is currently shooting a new CGI short film with actors, who were filmed on a green screen and will be integrated into a CG environment and is working on a facial tracking project.
What are your artistic influences?
I think analog photography is a great way to get artistic influences. It gives you a good understanding of how things look from different angles and offers unexpected lighting combinations. It helps me reinvent commercial photography, which can look too artificial.
What advice do you have for other students starting this kind of project?
I have learned (the hard way) that it is better to thoroughly think through an idea pre production. I have a bad habit of rushing in to the work and start modeling, sculpting texturing without having a good idea or understanding of what I am going to make. I also leave extra time at the end to fix small problems and put those final touches on my work. It makes a huge difference.
What was the motive for "The End"?
It is an almost finished text written on an old typewriter. You could see it as a positive image - the writer can be satisfied because he has completed his work - but I made it quite dark and perhaps even a bit depressing. This leads the viewer to think that he has finished a dark book or it could be a message about his state of mind. The phrase "The End" helps the viewer to draw conclusions about what will happen to the writer. It is a piece of art that I am very proud of.
William Bentley - Calamity Jane
William is interested in working with films and story telling. He's particularly interested in cinematography, lighting and rigging.
What are your artistic influences?
I am influenced by artists such as Eric Powell and Bruce Timm. Also my inspiration comes from movies. I am a fan of Spaghetti Westerns and Film Noir, so influenced by directors such as Sergio Leone, Alfred Hitchcock and Quentin Tarantino.
What is the meaning behind "Calamity Jane"?
I had a character in mind that I wanted to portray. I picked the elements of the composition to paint a portrait without actually showing the character. I named the image "Calamity Jane" after the infamous cowgirl. In poker, two queens is sometimes referred to as Calamity Jane.
Being a fan of western films, I wanted the image to have a western flavour. My goal was to create an image that was photo-realistic and I wanted the lighting and grade to create the mood of an old photograph.
Briefly describe the particular process to implement your project.
After I came up with the idea, the first thing I did was to collect reference, so taking photographs and collecting images from the internet. Next I modeled everything to scale and began placing the elements and playing around with angles until I was happy. I spent a lot of time tweaking textures and shaders. I used Mental Rays, Material X shader on everything. I rendered the image in five passes: Key Light, Fill Light, Rim Light, Final Gather Pass and Depth Pass. I then composited and graded using Nuke and Photoshop.
How long did it take to realise the project?
From initial concept to finished work, about four weeks.

Did Santi Cazorla dive to win Arsenal's first penalty v West Brom?
"No [I haven't reviewed it]. I am sorry if it was not a penalty but I have spoken to Santi and he said he has been touched and lost his balance. Maybe he made more of it, I don't know. But he told me just after I came to see you [the press], I asked him the question because I knew you would ask me the question." – Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.
"There was zero contact, it wasn't even close. I am not sure what the referee saw. It was a bad decision for us and obviously changed the shape of the afternoon. It could have been a nervous afternoon for Arsenal, at 0-0 they hadn't created too much. We knew the longer the game went the more pressure would come on Arsenal and then we would have a chance. That decision changed it." – West Brom boss Steve Clarke.
This is swiftly turning into the season of the diver.
To the names of Gareth Bale and Luis Suarez we can add Arsenal playmaker Santi Cazorla who may well have earned himself a reputation for the forseeable future.
Arsenal's first penalty against West Brom will receive tons of analysis and column inches after Santi Cazorla appeared to go down after zero contact from Steven Reid midway through the first half.
Reid undoubtedly swings but on the replays it is hard to see any contact at all on the Spanish midfielder and there is no doubting the importance of referee Michael Jones' decision after Arsenal's recent poor form.

Chris Cooley: Updated Fantasy Football Profile and Analysis for Redskins TEFebruary 17, 2017
The Washington Redskins not only lost a football game on Sunday to the New York Giants 27-23, but the team also lost a key piece of their offense, and apparently the Redskins may tear a page from their recent past in an effort to replace it.
Mark Maske of The Washington Post reports that in light of the season-ending Achilles' injury suffered by tight end Fred Davis the team plans to bring back veteran Chris Cooley, who played with the team from 2004-2011 before being released by Washington prior to the 2012 season.
A source told Maske that contingent on Cooley passing a physical "It's going to happen." The eight-year pro's reunion with the Redskins was something he predicted in an earlier interview, according to Maske:
The way it looks to me is if something happens here, they would love to have me. If Fred gets hurt or something like that, I think I'd be the guy they sign. I think that.
Bringing back a familiar face may make sense for the Redskins, but right now it doesn't make much sense for fantasy owners who suddenly need a tight end to rush out and add Cooley for a couple of reasons.
Yes, Chris Cooley has shown that he can be a viable fantasy producer when healthy, as the 30-year-old caught 77 passes and finished as a top-five fantasy option at his position in leagues that award a point for receptions as recently as 2010.
However, Cooley has a history of chronic knee problems and was limited to only five games and eight catches last year. The Redskins were concerned enough about Cooley's ability to stay on the field to cut ties with the 30-year-old before this season.
Also, there's the not-so-small matter of Robert Griffin's tendency to eschew throwing the ball to the tight end period.
Through the first six games of this season Davis was averaging fewer than four catches and just over 50 yards a game and ranked outside the top 20 PPR options at his position in fantasy points per game.
Given that an older, rustier Cooley is all but certain to post even lower numbers than that, where exactly is the fantasy upside here?
Listen, if you play in an exceptionally deep fantasy football league where the waiver wire is all but picked clean, then I suppose, if you're desperate for help at tight end, that you could do worse than taking a flier on Cooley given his past.
However, it's important to remember that the past is exactly what it is with Chris Cooley. Fantasy owners who needlessly waste a roster spot chasing it are just setting themselves up to be disappointed.

Treasuries pared losses as congressional leaders prepared a vote to raise the U.S. debt limit, curtailing the risk of a default and encouraging demand for U.S. debt.
Yields on two-year debt touched the lowest level since July 19. Ten-year notes earlier fell the most in more than one week after lawmakers approved a debt plan yesterday and President Barack Obama announced the pact on television in Washington. The U.S. economy added fewer-than-average jobs this month, a report Aug. 5 is forecast to show.
"Everything comes down to the vote," said Michael Franzese, managing director and head of Treasury trading at Wunderlich Securities Inc. in New York. "Nobody knows whether the vote will go through. The economy is still slow and people are still very nervous."
The yield on the benchmark 10-year note climbed one basis point to 2.80 percent as of 8:35 a.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. The security yielded 2.77 percent at the end of last week, the least since Nov. 30. The 3.125 percent note due in May 2021 slid 2/32, or 63 cents per $1,000 face amount, to 102 23/32.
Yields on two-year notes were little changed at 0.36 after touching 0.35 percent. Thirty-year bonds yielded 4.15 percent, three basis points more than their previous close. Futures on the Standard & Poors 500 index rose 1 percent.
The Treasury Department has said it will breach the borrowing limit and run out of options for avoiding default tomorrow without action by Congress to raise the debt ceiling. The House plans votes today and the Senate may follow suit to consider the agreement reached during a weekend of negotiations that capped a months-long struggle between Obama and Republicans over raising the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling.
A report this week may show U.S. payrolls added 88,000 jobs in July, from 18,000 the previous month, according to the median forecast of economists in a Bloomberg News survey before the Labor Department reports the data. That compares with an average monthly increase of 126,000 from January through June.

Sorrowful Sabres limp to finish line with shootout loss
The Buffalo Sabres' season is over. Try not to cry.
Aside from the scoreboard crashing to the ice again or the team having to forfeit for lack of players, there was no more fitting end to the Sabres' miserable season than goal-less Ville Leino losing the puck and failing to score in a shootout Sunday night.
Buffalo's chaos-filled, loss-plagued, forgettable year ended with a 4-3 loss to the New York Islanders. Leino, the much-maligned face of the downtrodden bunch, had a chance to extend the shootout but couldn't get off a shot.
Despite the game-long urging of 18,804 fans in First Niagara Center, Leino finished with no goals on only 38 shots in 58 games. The Sabres found the net just 150 times this season, one fewer than the 151 scored by the 1997-98 Tampa Bay Lightning.
"It just didn't happen," Leino said. "It's been rough."
The Sabres finished last in the 30-team NHL with a 21-51-10 record, including only 14 regulation or overtime victories. They endured a 2-16-2 slide during their final 20 games. They totaled 52 points, 14 fewer than 29th-place Florida.
"It's just one of those years," said coach Ted Nolan, who was impressed so many beleaguered Buffalonians stayed in the arena on "Fan Appreciation Night." "It's two last-place teams playing, and the fans are still right here till the end cheering and everything.
"I had a meeting with the team afterward, and that's why it's so important this summer that we come back with a whole different attitude to try to get this thing turned around because if there's fans that deserve a championship, this is the town."
What's sure to be a wild offseason begins today when the Sabres report for locker cleanout. General Manager Tim Murray and Nolan will kiss the season goodbye with a news conference Tuesday, which is also when the NHL Draft Lottery will be held. The Sabres have the best chance of getting the No. 1 pick for June's selection process.
It's expected Murray and Nolan will make changes to their scouting and coaching staffs. The midseason hires will want their own personnel in place as they head toward their first full season together.
There's absolutely no doubt the roster will change.
"We know that we'll be a different team come September," said forward Marcus Foligno, who also singled out the crowd for making the finale memorable. "I definitely want to thank them. They're the best fans in the league, I think, and they deserve better."
Even the Sabres' top highlight Sunday had a degree of madness to it. Jamie McBain opened the scoring with a dazzling end-to-end rush. Nolan's thought?
"Where was it the whole time?" the coach said.
The Sabres started the game with team awards – the players voted Tyler Ennis as their Most Valuable Player, Zemgus Girgensons as Rookie of the Year and Jhonas Enroth as Unsung Hero – and the organization paid tribute to retiring broadcaster Mike Robitaille.
The festivities ended with the players giving select fans the jerseys off their backs. Many won't put the blue and gold sweater on again, starting with Leino. He's a prime candidate to have the remaining three years of his contract bought out.
"I've got to think about it and talk to the coaches and GMs what's going on," said Leino, who signed a six-year contract that averages $4.5 million per season. "There was so many chances that could have turned into a goal, but it didn't. There was a lot of posts, lot of good saves. I don't know. I guess it's hard to describe. It hasn't really hit me that hard.
"A lot of ups and downs, a lot of emotions, and definitely has been hard to play my game."
Thankfully, there are no more games to play. There's always next year … or, more likely, a few years after that.
"Like Tim Murray said, the guys who want to be here and who care are going to be here," Foligno said. "That's what it comes down to. We're going to need players to get us out of the hole."

Roma and Firenze, Italy--After several snafus involving American tourists at AutoGrill toilettes, in supermercados, and on the streets of Rome, the Italian government has declared the popular rock song "American Idiot" by Greenday to be the most fitting national anthem for Italy. And, in a fit of fashion pique, the government has also banned belt packs and sneakers from Santa Croce Square and other historic locations in Florence.
In the first instance of American idiocy, an American couple tried to dislodge a shopping cart from a locked row of carts without paying 2 euro, setting off an alarm.
"Well, shopping carts are free in America," the husband explained. "I just thought they were stuck." The carabinieri who rushed to the scene politely explained to the couple that both carts and bags cost a modest fee in Italy and divested the husband of the 25 plastic bags he had already taken.
In the second instance, a mother and teenage daughter who lacked the appropriate exact change to use a toilette in Siena tried to explain the desparate nature of their situation to a group of interested but uncomprehending, and non-English-speaking, Italian soccer players.
"When you gotta go, you gotta go," said the two women. "Once the guys finally understood that we were about to pee in our pants, and were not propositioning them, they gave us the coins we needed--and not a second too soon!"
Finally, a group of Americans in Rome were unable to cross the street for several hours, since all cars refused to stop for pedestrians and there were nor traffic lights for 2 miles in either direction. Several elderly Italian women took pity on the tourists and stopped traffic by raising their canes and screaming curses at the drivers, who then grudingly screeched to a halt.
After choosing the new national anthem, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, in another move to turn attention further away from his Parmalat scandals, barred the wearing of belt packs and sneakers in Florence.
"It is too much to bear--to see Michaelangelo's David out of one eye and people wearing belt packs and sneakers out of the other. It is--how do you say this?--neurologically distressing," lamented the Prime MInister.
"It is incumbent upon Americans to try to dress a little more nicely while they are in Florence. Mio dio, this is the city of beautiful shoes and jewelry and scarves!"
Finally, travel agents in America, England, France, Germany, and Japan have issued the following travel advisory effective January through April 2005. Waterproof boots are necessary in Roman and Florentine hotel bathrooms because the showers tend not to drain. The streets of the major cities, however, are dry.

When Ang Lee thanked "everybody in Taiwan, Hong Kong and China" last week while accepting a Best Director Oscar for his gay-cowboy romance Brokeback Mountain, the mainland returned the love. The state-run China Daily called Lee "the pride of the Chinese people all over the world" and "the glory of Chinese cinematic talent." But it ignored the fact that Lee was born and raised in Taiwan, which China considers a breakaway province. Lee's shout-out to his fellow Taiwanese was excised from the mainland broadcast of the Oscars�as was a speech on gay love, which is widely stigmatized in China. While...

Twins acquire LHP Miguel Sulbaran in Butera trade
MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Twins announced the completion of the Drew Butera trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers. In exchange for Butera, the Twins received left-hander Miguel Sulbaran from the Dodgers.
Sulbaran is a 19-year-old pitcher from Venezuela who pitched this year for the Class A Great Lakes Loons of the Midwest League. In 23 games (16 starts) this year, Sulbaran was 6-4 with a 3.01 ERA. He struck out 85 batters in 92 2/3 innings while walking 27. He's allowed just three home runs this year.
Article continues below ...
This completes the trade for Butera, who was dealt to the Dodgers for a player to be named later or cash back on July 31. Sulbaran will report to Low-A Cedar Rapids.

(NECN: Jack Thurston, Burlington, Vt.) - In the busy halls of the high school in Burlington, V.T., a new student is toting around a book bag this week: the city's mayor, Miro Weinberger. "It's been fun," the democrat told New England Cable News. "The week is off to a good start."
Weinberger is spending one full week at the school, 25 years after he graduated from a different Vermont high school. Weinberger will get his lunch in the cafeteria, ride the school bus one day, and attend athletic team practices. He will also focus on regular business. The Burlington City Council and Board of Finance meetings will be held in the school this week, and Weinberger is bringing his staff into the vice principal's office for their daily meetings.
Weinberger said his main goal is to spotlight a grant from New England's Nellie Mae Education Foundation. Under an effort dubbed "Partnership for Change," the cities of Winooski and Burlington will receive $3.7-million over three years to help modernize teaching.
The districts are considering sweeping changes that could possibly include focusing more on technology or encouraging internships with companies to better prepare graduates for college and the workforce. "We all know the world is changing, and education has to change with it," Weinberger said.
Two school districts in Maine and one in New Hampshire also got grants from Nellie Mae to study student-centered learning, which acknowledges that different students learn in different ways. "In order to build a more bright and prosperous future for the entire community, we need to redesign the way we do education to be more student-centered, and with an eye towards 21st-century goals, technology, and innovation," said Lindsey Cox, the program manager for Partnership for Change in Burlington and Winooski.
High schoolers NECN talked to admitted they weren't sure at first if Mayor Weinberger's week in high school was just a stunt. But they said after learning more about the project, they now give the mayor high marks for walking the walk when it comes to studying ways to reshape the education system. "I think it's a good thing, and I give him props for doing this," said Ciara Ali-Levin, an 18-year-old high school senior.
"I hope that he sees that there are some kids that really struggle and do need the extra help to kind of have a more tailored education plan," added Shyenne Lewis, another 18-year-old senior.
As he carried his lunch tray through the bustling cafeteria, Weinberger joked to NECN that he now is rethinking his suit and tie choices for this week among teenagers. "I think tomorrow I might go a little more casual," he laughed.

Hi everyone! I recently moved to Eastern OK, and I have no clue if this is the right forum for my area! I see a lot of you from AR, so I hope I'm in the right place.
I have a question about okra. We are doing a market garden this year, and okra is really popular around here. Our whole family hates it, so we've never grown it before. We picked up two varieties of seed, Lee and Clemens Spineless. My thought is to plant two rows of Lee with one row of Spineless behind them so they don't shade the shorter Lee plants. The former owner left behind okra cages, but I assume since the Lee only get 4' high, only the Spineless will require cages? If you have any feedback about either variety (flavor, production, hardiness, etc.), I'd appreciate it.
Hi everyone! I recently moved to Eastern OK, and I have no clue if this is the right forum for my area! I see a lot of you from AR, so I hope I'm in the right place.
I'm not familiar with Lee, but have grown Clemson Spinless in the past with much success. However the deer seem to have found my garden the last couple of years, so the okra didn't make it. I have never staked or caged my okra but then I have not grown it for market purposes either. In a really bad wind storm I have had them bend over but not uproot. As far as growing it, just keep in mind the ground needs to be really warm. I've heard some people nick the seeds to speed up germination and sprouting. Thin the plants if necessary. The main thing with okra is to harvest every day. It can really get too long and tough quickly. It keeps the plants from getting top-heavy too. Good luck!
We didn't nick the seeds, but I had tried to start some in pots (they got too leggy) and they germinated wonderfully. Our soil is pretty warm now - we've been getting mostly 70-80 degree days, and I know it's supposed to be about 10 degrees higher for germination. We'll see how it goes. I guess since we have the cages, we'll use them, but I'll see if the Lee will hold up on its own. Picking every day shouldn't be a problem, but does it keep for a bit after you pick it, or do I need to sell it daily? Ordinarily, I just set up my stand on the weekends. Thanks!
Good luck with the okra, Eileen! Like Outside said, the okra won't even start coming up until the heat sets in for good and the ground is really warm. I've only grown the Clemson Spineless in the past, and there's no need to stake it. A good tip on keeping it growing taller and producing more okra - after you cut a pod off, cut off the outward stem just below it. The stalk will grow tidy and tall. And, when you do pick, wear a light long-sleeve shirt - even with the spineless variety, your arms will itch and you'll be scratching away on your arms!
Ooh, good to know! I have a lot of plant sensitivities (lantana, verbena, marigolds, etc.) and so I will be extra careful with the okra. Thanks!
I've grown Lee and am again. It is a smaller, non branching okra and won't need staking or cages. In fact I've grown mine in containers. I've never seen anyone in this area cage their okra. Lee is as tasty as any, just pick all okra when it is smaller and tender.
And, I'll second wearing a long sleeved shirt when in the okra patch.
I soak my seeds (not nicked) in water with a bit of peroxide added. They are usually sprouting before planting when doing that. An older friend uses water and bleach but I'm not sure why? Good luck.
Good advice on wearing the long-sleeved shirt when harvesting. Also on soaking before planting but I didn't know about adding peroxide.
Well, we planted them all before I read your suggestions to soak, but we got a nice drenching rain for a good while yesterday, so hopefully that will help. I'll let you know how it goes! Thanks!

After legions of nude lips and smooth cheeks in New York, London, and Milan, makeup got a little wilder in Paris.
Nude beauty has been one of this season's big stories, and while plenty of big-name shows including Chloe and Balmain went for very natural, fresh-faced looks, Paris Fashion Week was been marked by some slightly more extreme goings-on.
Perhaps wildest of all, Pat McGrath and her team of 40 assistants spent 12 hours applying colored crystal gemstones and glitter to the faces of the models at Givenchy. The colorful Kabuki-style makeup and the chunky crystal earrings reflected (get it?) the collection's mix of African and Asian tribal themes.
Chanel also provided a multicolored look for its spring/summer 2014 show, with the models' eyes painted with stripes of paint replicating the artist's palette theme of the show.
At Céline, Phoebe Philo's aesthetic 180-degree turn was underlined by a matching quirky beauty look which featured asymmetrical and upside-down drawn-on eyebrows as well as dragged-out lines of color from the edge of the eye.
Things got even weirder at Alexander McQueen, where models had metallic spray-painted foreheads that seemed to recede into their domed silver helmets, while Vivienne Westwood makeup artist Val Garland was inspired by a girl, waiting for the bus home, who gets mud splattered in her face by a passing car.

Thurles Sarsfields (Tipperary) were too good for De Le Salle (Waterford) in Pairc Ui Chaoimh, winning the Munster Club SHC final 1-21 to 1-16.
Jim Corbett scored Sarsfield's goal after four minutes, while Paudie Nevin scored the three-pointer for De La Salle.
The beaten Waterford side were up against it following John Keane's second-half sending-off and were unable to peg their opponents back, having trailed 1-11 to 1-09 at the break.
The Leinster Club SHC semi-final between Oulart the Ballagh (Wexford) and Ballyhale Shamrocks (Kilkenny) was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch at Wexford Park.
Senan Kilbride weighed in with the crucial goal for St Brigid's (Roscommon) as they saw off the challenge of Ballaghaderreen (Mayo) at Elvery MacHale Park to win the Connacht Club SFC final by 1-12 to 0-06.
The victory makes it three titles in-a-row for the Roscommon men.
Brigid's led 0-06 to 0-05 at the interval.
In the Leinster Club SFC semi-finals, Portlaoise (Laois) and Ballymun Kickhams (Dublin) booked their passages into the decider.
Portlaoise overcame Emmet Og Killoe (Longford) 1-11 to 2-05 at O'Moore Park.
Emmet Og got a first-half goal through Ronan McGoldrick; however, they still trailed 0-06 to 1-02 at the interval.
The Longford team briefly took a 1-04 to 1-02 lead through a Seanie McCormark free early in the second period, before Brian Smith put Portlaoise back in front with a goal.
Emmet Og came back with their second goal, scored by Simon Kiernan. But Portlaoise saw the game home with Adrian Kelly and Brian McCormack among the point scorers.
Ballymun Kickhams came home 1-08 to 0-05 winners over Sarsfields (Kildare).
James McCarthy was on target for Ballymun early on as they dominated Sarsfields. A late first-half point from Alan Smith kept the Kildare team in touch 0-05 to 0-02 at the break.
But a Ted Furman goal for Ballymun, allied to two points from Dean Rock, and a score from captain Davy Byrne, proved enough for Kickhams.

Latest News > 24 May 12 - LJMU granted a patent for new rapid forensic analysis software
LJMU has been granted a patent by the US Patent and Trade Mark Office for novel software products for the rapid forensic analysis of computer hard drives.
The technology was developed by Dr John Haggerty (now at Salford University) and Dr David Llewellyn Jones, a research fellow working within the University's Network and Information Security Technology Lab within the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences.
The market for these products are their ability to reduce the workload of police staff in investigations that involve analysis of seized computer equipment and imagery and reduction of time spent searching hard drives in the homes of offenders.
The identification of relevant evidence is a manual process and is both time-consuming and labour intensive. There are approximately 70 police agencies in the UK and it is estimated that across the UK's police forces, 700 days per week are spent on the analysis of seized computer equipment at an estimated cost of over £1 million per month. The labour-intensive nature of the work often leads to backlogs within police computer forensic departments, delaying the completion of ongoing investigations.
The implementation of the patented technology could reduce the amount of time spent on the analysis of computer hard drives to as little of one hour per week per police agency, significantly increasing work load capacity whilst dramatically reducing costs; the demand therefore is perceived to be significant.
Emma Nolan, IP and Commercialisation Manager, said, "There are a number of products on the marketplace; however LJMU technology has particular advantages in the way it works. Our automated system can analyse the suspect's machine (computer, laptop, mobile phone, etc.) at speed and can be used to find files that may not be detected during manual searches. The technology is available for licensing and we are in discussions with a number of interested parties."
For more information about the computer forensics technology or IP and Commercialisation issues, contact Emma Nolan on 0151 904 6371 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Photographer's Note
After finishing my temple visit in this small town, I was waiting for our car next to this small provisions store. The driver had gone to eat lunch. I saw these two ladies at the shop trying to buy a few things. After a few minutes, I saw a big smile on the woman's face with a sari. She was one happy customer. It was win win for both the seller and the buyer.

Hello Dear Lakshmi,
This is a remarkably colourful daily life. I keep looking to see what he has in his shop. Some Pepsi, and a few bottles of what I suppose are some kind of popular liquors. Coca colas are hanging from the ceiling. I wonder what this lady with a bright smile has just asked the gentleman in the shop. She looks as though she has just struck a very good deal with the shop owner. I wouldnt have had the courage necessary to bring out my camera and take what you have succeeded taking a photo of. So, I am very glad to see the image. A lady with long braided hair must be smiling as well. The photo is taken from a very good angle and it shows us the ambience of the moment very nicely. This is a very nice daily life photo with a lot of smiling in the image. The atmosphere is filled with joy; it is a very pleasant image to encounter with.
With my very best and kind regards,
Have a very nice day all day, Lakshmi

Hello Iakshmi! you have caught a very spontaneous and fresh scene, with the womens looking at a side, with another man behind him and the facilities of the Fair, in a very special atmosphere.

Hello Lakshmi,
This is an interesting daily life shot, so it's interesting and impressive to see the spectacle of an exchange of a seller and a customer. This small shop looks as food ones, and it is impressive that many kinds are placed here goods of cookie, drink and nuts etc,. And, it's interesting in traditional women's dress, too. It is a good work in which the smell of a life is felt.
Kind regards,

Speedster Bourjos refining bunting skills
Speedster Bourjos refining bunting skills
The Angels' young center fielder can fly. He probably won't be leading off much this season, but it's in his future. Mastering the fine art of bunting is on Bourjos' list of goals, and that is more than fine with his boss.
"That's something he has to have, and he is a good bunter," manager Mike Scioscia said, having watched Bourjos drop a bunt single to go with a double on Monday against Oakland.
2010 Spring Training - null
Sights & Sounds
Spring Training Info
"You need a third baseman to respect the fact you can bunt to limit his range. You're going to roll a lot of balls over to third that are going to be hits if he's drawn in. For a speed guy, if you can bunt, it's a huge weapon in the holes it can open up."
Bourjos too often found himself down in counts during his two-month stint with the Angels last year to take advantage of his blinding speed with bunts. That's something he plans to rectify.
"I really want to work on bunting, getting it down and deadening the ball," Bourjos said. "In the big leagues, I was struggling when I came up to get comfortable. I want to make it one of my goals to lay down a bunt now and then, to keep guys aware of it. If I can squeeze out an extra hit with it here and there, it's important."
To alleviate the pressure, Bourjos figures to open the season at the bottom of the order. He has shown he can hit -- and produce some power -- in the Minor Leagues. His six homers in 51 games with the Angels in August and September would project to about 20 over a full season.

Angry mob undresses woman and rip her clothing after she dressed provocativelyBy Mason White 10:22 AM April 5, 2013
|Victim who was stripped
By: John Roberts
(Scroll down for video) A group of men attacked a woman who was dressed in a mini skirt.
The men attacked the woman claiming that she was dressed inappropriately. The woman was spotted walking on the street in Kitengela, a town in Kenya.
The angry mob claimed the dress was too short. They argued with the woman to change into something more appropriate. When the woman ignored their request the men attacked her and undressed her.
The men then ripped her clothing apart so she could not put them back on, claiming that "it was better for her to go naked because her intentions were clear," according to press reports in Kenya.
According to a witness, the crowd gathered around the woman and forcibly undressed her. Her clothes were torn and thrown away ensuring that she had nothing to cover her body as a punishment for dressing provocatively.
"Most women in the town of Kitengela, dress modestly, and everyone is expected to adhere to their standards," Aminah Wangai, 62, from Kenya told YourJewishNews.com.
Many people gathered to watch as the drama unfolded.
The woman was left on the floor with nothing to cover her body.
A Good Samaritan who witnessed the incident offered the woman a long dress so she could go home.
The victim's mothers was warned not to let her daughter leave the house without her approval, according to press reports in Kenya.Mobile video not loading? Click here to view

Hi All,
I am using Dell Lattitude 6400/6410/6420 with docking stations, I have two external monitors which work just fine with the docking station, they get recognized as separate displays and I can use them as stretched desktop or clone mode, I want to connect a big screen LED TV as a secondary display, I ll be fine even if two of the screens (1 monitor and 1 TV) have same display i.e they are both either primary display or secondary display. I have all three displays plugged in but i have to choose which two displays are to be active, third one doesnt get any signal.
Is there any way I can do that?
Thank you.

Sen. Yudichak lauds tax reform
HARRISBURG, September 24, 2013 - State Sen. John Yudichak (D-Luzerne/Carbon/Monroe) today released the following statement in support of Tuesday's Property Tax Independence rally that took place at the state Capitol.
"I am proud of the citizen lobbyists who descended on the state capitol today help us fight for property tax elimination and I am honored to have their support of Senate Bill 76 - the Property Tax Independence Act," he said.
"Working with senators (David G.) Argall, (Mike) Folmer and (Judy) Schwank, we have formed a broad, bi-partisan coalition with state grass roots organizations to advance the simple idea that our students, our schools and our taxpayers deserve better than an archaic property tax system that can no longer adequately fund our schools," Yudichak said.
"The Property Tax Independence Act recognizes the central role the Commonwealth plays in funding public education and develops a system that is both fair to taxpayers and sensible in its approach to funding our schools so no child is denied a quality education in Pennsylvania," he said.
Yudichak is a co-sponsor of Senate Bill 76.

Please, no.
Let's avoid the whole issue of taking shots at Jay-Z and Beyoncé. We'll ignore that line about being "white like Casper." We'll just let that whole "funky fresh rhymes" line slip.
Technically, this is just embarrassing. Delivery is stuck in the '80s, the flow is basic as fuck, timing is choppy, and the vocals are bland. Leave rap alone, Ms. Perino.
Well my name is Tiny-D, and I'm here to say
I bust funky-fresh rhymes in a major way
So I'm white like Casper, got a dog named Jasper
And if you don't think Beyonce fears me, go ahead and ask her
So if you love Castro, stick with Jay-Z
But if you love your freedom, pick Day-P

CLEVELAND Retta Feyissa of Ethiopia last week was the first runner to cross the finish line at the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon with a time of 2 hours 33 minutes and 34 seconds.
As of the morning of the race, more than 10,400 participants were registered for the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon, Half Marathon and 10K, event organizers reported, though rain before and during the early part of the race may have kept some registrants from participating.
Second and third place in the marathon were taken by two Ohio master's-age runners: James Beyer, 40, Dayton, with a time of 2:34:52; and Rob Juergens, 44, Avon Lake, in 2:35:43.
The separate 10K race, which annually attracts elite international runners, was dominated by three Kenyans who raced side-by-side from start to finish. John Itati, 34, won the race with a time of 29:30. Second was Robert Letting, 21, in 29:32, and third was George Misoi, 24, finishing in 29:33. Misoi won Cleveland's 10K last year.
The women's 10K also was swept by elite runners from Kenya. Jane Murage won with a finishing time of 33:12. Second was Florence Jepkosgei, 24, in 33:21, and third was Evelyne Lagat, 28, in 33:33.

Idaho Might Fight Federal Government Over Land
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho could be the next western state to engage in a public lands fight with the federal government. Last year, Utah and Arizona passed legislation demanding the federal government turn over control of millions of acres of public acreage in those states. Utah's governor signed the bill, while Arizona's was vetoed by Gov. Jan Brewer. Today, the Utah legislator who led passage of that state's bill urged Idaho lawmakers take the same step toward managing public land in its borders.

Arsenal hadn't won in the Premier League since a 2-1 victory over title rivals Leicester City at The Emirates on 14 February ahead of Saturday's clash at Goodison Park.
A win at Goodison is big and it will improve confidence
Martin Keown
However, England international Danny Welbeck made the breakthrough in the seventh minute after he completed an impressive passing move from the visitors.
Wenger's men went 2-0 up three minutes before half-time thanks to Premier League debutant Alex Iwobi's impressive finish as Arsenal hit Everton on the counter-attack.
Belgium international Romelu Lukaku failed to trouble David Ospina in the Arsenal goal as the Gunners held on for three vital points.
Former Arsenal defender Keown, who was a member of Arsenal's last title-winning side, felt Wenger had earned some breathing space after a difficult couple of weeks.
"That result keeps people off Arsene Wenger's back for a little while longer. A win at Goodison is big and it will improve confidence, but there are other big games coming," Keown told BBC Sport.

HEALING THE SOUL IN THE AGE OF THE BRAIN: Becoming Conscious in an Unconscious World
A decade after Peter Kramer's bestselling Listening to Prozac (also published by Viking) refashioned cultural attitudes and beliefs about mental, emotional or personality disorders and their treatment, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Frattaroli reexamines the "Medical Model" of psychiatry, according to which disturbances such as brain chemistry imbalances are treated solely with psychopharmacology. Lamenting that the brain has replaced the mind or the soul as the object of healing in psychiatry, he offers a clear and comprehensive description of how the alternative "Psychotherapeutic Model" works to bring the unconscious into consciousness, addressing inner conflicts that can't be medicated and ultimately offering deeper and more permanent healing. Using case studies from his own practice, Frattaroli makes a strong argument for the effectiveness of—and need for—long-term psychotherapy. However, he is careful not to condemn the use of drugs in treating mental and emotional disorders. Heavily influenced by psychologist Bruno Bettelheim, with whom he trained, and borrowing from Martin Buber's "I-Thou" vs. "I-It" principle, Frattaroli provides an unusually lucid explanation of Freud's theories of personality, inner conflict, transference and the therapeutic relationship. In view of the current "quick fix" culture and the "greed of the managed care industry," which doesn't usually pay for long-term psychotherapy, Frattaroli calls for an integration of biological and psychoanalytic approaches. His insights are fresh, highly readable, informative, passionate and memorable. (Sept.)
Forecast:Ten years in the making, this thoughtful defense of the talking cure could be important and influential for many years to come. A six-city author tour is scheduled for January 2002.
