Hamilton's wild winter could end in arbitration
Hamilton's wild winter could end in arbitration
ARLINGTON -- Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton is healthy and working out again. He is out of the hospital, over his pneumonia and will be at the Rangers Mid-Winter Banquet on Friday to accept his award for being the club's Player of the Year. On Saturday, he will fly to New York for a banquet to accept the American League Most Valuable Player Award. On Feb. 14, he could be in an arbitration hearing to decide his 2011 salary. He is asking for $12 million while the Rangers are offering $8.7 million. Hamilton is preparing for the possibility that his contract could end up in arbitration. His offseason remains an ongoing event for the Rangers.
"Honestly, I haven't thought about it," Hamilton said. "That's why I have an agent ... to handle all that stuff. Either way, I'll be OK. "It could be worse ... I could be somewhere digging a ditch." The Rangers haven't had an arbitration hearing since 2000, but have two pending cases with Hamilton and reliever Frank Francisco, now that Darren O'Day has been signed for 2011. "Our preference is to avoid a hearing," general manager Jon Daniels said. "But sometimes reasonable well-intentioned people disagree. It's there for a reason. I'd like to think we don't have to use it, but if we have to, we will." Either way, Hamilton will be in the Rangers' outfield in 2011. He can't be a free agent until after the 2012 season and the two sides are expected to talk about the possibility of a long-term contract at some point in Spring Training. Discussions in the past have not led to an agreement. "If we can find common ground beyond a one-year deal, we'll look at it," Daniels said. "If not, we have time." It hasn't been easy in the past and it won't be in the future. Hamilton made that clear. As much as he wants to stay in Texas, he doesn't appear to be willing to settle for less than what his side perceives as a fair-market deal. "It's not just me," Hamilton said. "I have to think about other players coming up behind me. That's what makes our association great, guys not thinking about themselves but the players behind them. I'd love to stay in Texas the rest of my career ... we'll see what happens." Clubs have been aggressive on signing their best players to long-term deals, but there are several factors that the Rangers have to consider. Hamilton knows that as well as anybody. Hamilton had a terrific season in 2010, leading the league with a club-record .359 batting average while hitting 32 home runs, scoring 95 runs and driving in 100. He led the league with a .633 slugging percentage and was second with a .411 on-base percentage. He also turns 30 in May and missed almost the entire month of May with a ribcage injury. Similar injuries limited him to 89 games in 2009. He also dealt with a sore knee for much of last season. A long-term commitment from the Rangers would have to come with the confidence that Hamilton can stay healthy. "Health is a factor we have to consider with every player, not just Josh," Daniels said. "You consider value on the field, value in the community, what a player has done in the past and what he projects to do in the future. Health enters into it. "There is no doubt that if Josh is healthy, nobody doubts his talent. We're a better team with him. There's no one factor we dwell on. We love the player and we love being here." All of Hamilton's injuries the past two years have come from running or falling into an outfield wall. He said he feels he can limit that by playing the game smarter than he has in the past, but he also doesn't want to limit himself as a player. The thought of that seems to repulse him. "I have to ask myself what kind of player I want to be," Hamilton said. "That's the question I have to ask myself. Do I want to be the player that fans want me to be and go all-out? Or do I want to play 80 percent and try not to get hurt. Do I want to do that? Probably not. I don't want to set the example of a guy going through the motions. "I know how I need to play. If you talk to fans, I think they love how I play. If you play, you risk injury. If you play hard, you risk more injury. I don't have the answer. Physically, I feel as good as I did the last two years." Hamilton is hardly the only Rangers player with physical issues. Second baseman Ian Kinsler has never made it through a season without going on the disabled list. Nelson Cruz went on the DL three times last year because of hamstring problems. Cruz has started working out with Kyle O'Day, a physical instructor who is the brother of pitcher Darren O'Day. Cruz is learning a new way of running that he hopes will help put less stress on his hamstring. Hamilton's biggest issue this winter was a week-long bout with pneumonia that put him in the hospital for a week. He said his temperature got up to 105 and that's why he was admitted to the hospital on the morning of Jan. 11. He was released last Sunday. "It was bad, man," Hamilton said. "I went to the hospital at 2-3-4 o'clock in the morning and didn't remember coming out of it until Thursday afternoon. I was just miserable. I was acting crazy ... just in and out of it. My little girls were also sick so they kept me in an extra day or two. They wanted to make sure. "My wife, Katie, was driving me to the hospital and I kept asking her, 'Where are we going? Are we going to the stadium?'" Hamilton lost about 10 pounds in the process, dropping from 233 to 223. But he has resumed baseball activities and expects to regain his strength before Spring Training. "My appetite is coming back after all the medicine they pumped into me in the hospital," Hamilton said. "I got back on my regular schedule on Monday. I'm not worried. I've been swinging and my swing feels good. My body feels good." The pneumonia is behind him. An arbitration hearing is ahead of him and then Spring Training begins. Beyond that remains unknown other than an ongoing drama with the Rangers.

Thanks for the article. I'm now certain you're a "shill" sight for the "tribe". Paul is the only candidate that sees the danger of kissing Israeli ass in the middle east, unlike the majority of the executive/judicial/legislative branches of the United States of Israel. How does it feel to be leaving your lip-prints on the 3rd largest terrorist group in the World, right after Amerika and the Red Queen's City of London?
In addition, you bunch of provocateurs, if recognizing Israel for what it is and what it's doing to this country is Anti-Semetic so be it.
Israel is NOT;
1.) a Democracy, it has NO constitution.
2.) our ally OR friend, We have NO alliance treaty with it and they have REPEATEDLY attacked and murdered our citizens with the blessings of the "Renfield Class" in D.C.; King David Hotel, USS Liberty, Mavi Mamarra, (sic?) and probably 9/11, ("the five dancing shlomos").
3.) Semetic OR "God's Chosen", over 90% Ashkenazi,(descendants of the old Khazar Empire from the Caspian Basin). The "Tribe" was a Shamanistic culture of Turkic/Mongol lineage until +/- 740 A.D. when they had a mass-"turtle-necking" party and converted to TALMUDIC Jewry.
Israel IS;
a terrorist/nuclear/Rogue state that keeps the bulk of the world in literal slavery through their connections to the IMF, World Bank, U.N. and the PRIVATE Central Banking Cabal.

Ruth Rendell aims her latest book at illiterate adults
One of Britain's most popular authors is so concerned at illiteracy levels that she has written a novel comprising words of only one or two syllables.
Ruth Rendell, the grande dame of British crime fiction, hoped that Archie and Archie would become a book that adults learning to read could enjoy with their children.
An ambassador for the National Literacy Trust, she said yesterday that millions of adults could not read with many more able to read little more than newspaper headlines.
Speaking at the Sunday Times Oxford Literary Festival, Rendell said Archie and Archie, which features a pugilistic cat and a dog and is due to be published later this year, would be her second book aimed at new adult readers following The Thief.…

[1]New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg says the country needs a new interpretation of the Constitution.
The mayor — asked about how to handle security in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings — said that protection against terrorist threats will require changes in how the nation views its founding document[2], the New Jersey Star-Ledger reports.
"The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry," Bloomberg said.
"Look, we live in a very dangerous world," he added[3]. "We know there are people who want to take away our freedoms. New Yorkers probably know that as much if not more than anybody else after the terrible tragedy of 9/11."
Bloomberg insists that increased surveillance and government intrusions into privacy are necessary steps to combat the threats faced in the modern world.
"We have to understand that in the world going forward, we're going to have more cameras and that kind of stuff," he said.

" Genre: Sci-Fi / Fantasy / Author: Deveraux / Edition: US Ed / Mass Market Paperback / 320 Pages / Book is published 2009-02-02 by Pocket Books "
* Prices may differ from that shown
When Emily's guardian angel comes to earth in human form to save her from something evil she can't imagine what that evil could be. A small town librarian who is pretty close to angelic herself doesn't attract many enemies. In fact with her perfect fiance and a job she loves Emily thinks her life is pretty perfect. Michael, her guardian angel changes everything. Soon Emily realises that her life is not as it seems. Worse than this she's falling in love with an angel who she can never be with.
I think it's fair to say that this novel was pretty awful. The plot, the characters, the writing...it was all bad.
Let's start with the plot. This is a romance novel and therefore a plot is optional. In romance novels where there is a plot it doesn't, in my opinion, need to be a terribly plausible or well written plot. Really, it is there to push the romantic side of the story along so I don't tend to let the plot side of a romance novel dictate how highly I rate it. If a plot is good then that's a bonus, it's the other things that really count (for this genre). So the fact that the plot was so awful in this book doesn't really make much difference to how I've rated it. Yes, the plot was unrealistic (an angel coming to earth and falling in love with a mortal who he has looked after through many lives) but I quite like to suspend reality when I read these kinds of books. It did raise all kinds of theological questions for me and did contradict my own religious beliefs surrounding angels but then this isn't a theology book, it's a work of fiction and not in any way relevant to my faith. However, I do understand that for some people this could be a real issue. If you belong to a religion that has a certain opinion on angels and you would be offended by that view of angels being challenged then you may want to stay away from this novel.
For the most part the plot was very predictable, although I was surprised by one twist in the plot (I'm not going to even give you a clue about what it relates to, I don't want to spoil the only surprise in the entire book). Predictability isn't so bad though, particularly in a genre where you're guaranteed a happily ever after.
For me the characters are the most important thing in a romance novel and unfortunately the characters weren't particularly well written. All of the characters were very two dimensional. This wasn't so much of a problem for the bad characters because they were such a minor part of the book but both Emily and Michael were really poorly developed. Emily was little more than a stereotype of a wholesome but naive woman and I felt that she had very little depth. Worse than this though she was extremely dull. I can't think of how she could possibly have been more boring. Michael was a slight improvement, at least he was an angel but he wasn't exactly romantic hero material. She gave him the right looks and body but failed to give him the personality to match. I just can't imagine him lustfully sweeping any woman off of her feet.
One good thing about the romantic side of this novel is that you can totally see Michael and Emily living happily ever after together. I can imagine them living a boring life, in a small boring town with two boring kids and a hamster. There's nothing wrong with that of course, I just don't particularly want to read about it. The romance lacked excitement and I didn't really feel any passion between the two of them.
However, I have to admit that at points I did really enjoy this novel. There were some parts that made me smile, particularly when Michael keeps mixing up human sayings. I did lose all interest in this book halfway through and found it a struggle to finish it (even though it is really easy reading) but for at least half of the book I was entertained.
**Anything I earn from this review is being donated to http://www.marysmeals.org/**
Jude Deveraux is an American writer who rocketed to stardom with the publication of her paranormal romance, A Knight in Shining Armour (a book I highly recommend). An Angel for Emily is another paranormal romance from this author, though not quite in the same league.
Synopsis (Source: Amazon.com): Emily Jane Todd has justbeen stood up by her fiancé when she ran into her guardian angel with her car, at least "Michael" insists that's what he is. Emily just hopes he hasn't been brain damaged in the accident. Strangely, Michael knows the most astounding things about her, and declares that he's been sent to save her. But save her from what? Emily thought her life was on course for happiness with her fiancé, so what help could she possibly need from this sexy stranger?
Jude Deveraux has written some very good romances since A Knight in Shining Armour but I'm afraid, for me, this just wasn't one of them.
The character of Emily is just too good to be true. She's sweet and gentle and a bit downtrodden and is, quite frankly, all the things I'm not, so identifying with the heroine was a bit too much of a stretch. Likewise, Michael, is an angel, and a guardian angel at that. Again, not being particularly religious - oh, alright, not being at all religious - I couldn't really buy into an angel in any shape or form, even though Christian theology is not discussed at all in the book.
The story began with some promise with Michael taking over the body of an escaped criminal and I liked the way the author emphasised Michael's 'non-human' status by his struggle to understand some English phrases or to get his human body to do what he wants it to do These incidences even raised the odd smile but, and it's a big but, the story doesn't have much believability, even discounting the angelic element and Jude Deveraux does seem to wander away from the main theme quite a bit. At once stage (bit of a spoiler), Michael tells Emily about her previous lives over which he has 'guarded' her. Now all her previous lives have ended up being pretty tragic, which left me wondering why he's only just shown up now to help her!
A Knight in Shining Armour was such a stonking good read, and even today is often listed as being in the top 10 paranormal romances ever written, which made An Angel for Emily all the more of a disappointing read.
This is a reprint, the original being published back in 1998. Storytelling has moved on since then and we now have a whole raft of writers giving us excellent paranormal romance and urban fantasy and, for me, this book just doesn't stack up very well against present day competition.
My measure of a good book is whether, after I've read the last page and closed the book, the story and characters remain with me for days or even weeks afterwards. When I closed this book, I just just kept thinking of how much better it could have been.

But it won't solve the problems, the missed diagnoses, the heart disease rx'd with stents that clot in women, the thyroiditis that goes to cancer, the lives & careers of women MDs wasted fighting a corrupt Medical Board for their medical licenses.
One false medical license suspension case has gone on for 20 years - that woman's case is in Representative Anielski's district - and she knows nothing about the Ohio State Medical Board - per her Legislative Aide Hallie - who seems competent, but just not on the right page. How long will it take Hallie to get the message? Representative Anielski knew nothing about her son's problems either - and that didn't end well. But there are other tragedies that go with the State Representatives office in the 6th District - and they will require some intuition, some insight, some epiphanies, and some intelligence to solve. We are all sorry about your son Representative Anielski, but women MDs that might have been able to help did not have a medical license -- how many women MDs in the 6th District have their medical licenses suspended for making too much of bad care -- more than 1 for sure. Your son needed the 'right' physician, and didn't find that person - but I'm sure his MD was a guy.
Check with Tom Patton's office - he didn't graduate from Cleveland State and knows no medical terminology - but he's gotten the message that there is something 'wrong' at the State Medical Board of Ohio. But it's all 'confidential.' So no one is able to impeach the State Medical Board, get a Financial Report from the Board, or understand the Medical Board decisions & stats - and Governor Kasich is well aware of what is going on, and he's letting it continue. It would cost too much to rehabilitate the women MDs alone, re-entry is not an objective - they are disposable. But other states could use them if these women MDs could be given their Ohio licenses to resign, and the complaints for other states to make a decision on. No state, except Ohio, takes women MD's licenses for Dr. Nice. Dr. Nice not 'getting it on the side' is not the concern of Rhode Island, Georgia, Alaska or Wyoming. You are wasting careers in medicine that other states need & would pay Ohio for - make a business of it - sell the physician careers instead of the turnpikes & interstates.
The problem is that women MD/DOs in Ohio aren't getting to the Cardiology Fellowships - or any Fellowships - aren't included in the EKG reading groups at their hospitals, and are getting their medical licenses suspended in ever-increasing numbers for 'confidential' complaints that have nothing to do with their patient care - confidential complaints where the males ganged up. Males MDs have nothing better to do in Ohio - they aren't doing patient care. No one knows what these complaints are really about - but jealousy, money & sex are a big part. Representative Anielski is apparently not going to sit at coffee and hear this just yet - being newly elected. The 'confidential complaints are phrased as personality disorders; wrong personality for Ohio male MDs basically. And since their wives also have the 'wrong personality' to 'understand' these guys - this is not a case for medical license suspension or discipline.
With these false Medical Board complaints - Ohio is an undisputed #1 - and the Medical Board has no money because of this mismanagement. Physician dues in Ohio are supposed to increase this year, and spiral upward. At the State Medical Board in Ohio, the complaints have no statutes of limitation, no rules of evidence, can be signed by MDs who don't even know the woman MD, and the cases can go on for decades - unless the woman MD conveniently commits suicide - which she is encouraged to do by her peers who will not help her with medical care.
Money is not option for Ohio - going after women MDs is in the budget. Cases against women MDs typically run to $500,000 state costs/case - as the women MDs are usually innocent, and can't lie well enough to get their licenses back and end things quickly. The case workers, the State Reps & Senators, all tell you to lie to get back to doing the 'good' care that you were doing before. So what was the case about?
There are estimated to be hundreds, to thousands, of false cases of physician licensure, suspension or discipline, in the last 20 years in Ohio - more than any other state or several states combined. And we don't have the worst MDs in the country in Ohio - we just have enough women MDs to inflate the numbers. Women are disciplined for not going along, not doing the casual sex or favors, for not referring enough surgeries to the men, and for existing - it's not about their patient care.
Women MDs, whose licenses are falsely suspended, can't get medical care in Ohio until they admit the Medical Board's case - and when the State Medical Board has no case - or keeps looking for a new case every year or so, when the last 'case' doesn't pan out and can't be dismissed - that's a long time; 20 years in one case. 20 years loss of a physician's life - no other state suspends a medical license for 20 years - MDs are working in other states before that (no matter the charge).
In Ohio that is a long time for no blood work, no fracture care, no gyn care - and forget the obstetrics. Women MDs, who have their licenses falsely suspended, can't get pregnant, can't have a child - they are 'sterilized' by the process that never ends at the Medical Board - the process to prove that women MDs/DOs don't have what what it takes and can be the tokens for the Ohio stats.
And what it takes to measure up - sex with colleagues, the right referrals, and to cover for the boys. The women MDs don't get chance to have a child who might commit suicide from the threats - they just get trashed - left to hemorrhage out with no ob-gyn care. The one woman hemorrhaged out in NYC at Columbia-Presbyterian, after 5 years of no ob-gyn care allowed - she was sterilzed by neglect of care with several ob-gyns on the State Medical Board of Ohio. The Medical Board of Ohio refused to allow her to get medical consultation & care.
Women MDs get their medical licenses suspended usually in their 30s - when they are the most desireable for casual sex with colleagues, when they are trying to get married and have a token child or two, and when they are healthwise most vulnerable to the problems that neglect of their general health during residency caused. Residency training is not healthy for women MDs - the food is bad, the hours play all sorts of games with hormones, and the harassments eat into any self-confidence remaining from Ohio Medical Schools.
Women MDs start fracturing in their 30s (all that bad food in residency & the hours which played havoc with estradiol & FSH levels), have early breast cancers, are all vitamin D deficient if anyone bothers to check, and women MDs are just worn out with male harassments by the time they are through training. Even moreso than women DOs, women MDs are targeted for abuse - there are no harassment provisions that the Ohio State Medical Board enforces.
So the women MDs get 'sick' in their 30s, are medically mistreated or given ultimatums for sex with certain more powerful males for the care, they try to get married in their 30s, but they aren't allowed decent health care before their licenses are taken. Women MDs do not deserve blood work in Ohio, are not allowed care-to-function, and are just part of the #1 Medical Board's 'reign of terror' because they can't fight back without knowing the complaint or having money - and most are heavily mortgaged by the student loans. When they complaint, the woman MD's complaint is made public against state laws, so that the males (the boys) can countercomplain - and the countercomplaint is 'confidential' and can be perpetually changed for the life of the woman MD. It's a pre-fixed kangaroo court that is outside of Ohio courts except that the Ohio Court of Appeals can temporarily throw out a case, but it gets remanded to the Ohio State Medical Board and recycled.
Ohio is #1 for suspensions & disciplines of physicians in the nation - per 1000 physicians licensed - and the women are more suspended than the men because they can't fight confidential complaints where the subtext is sex, or the resolution of the complaint means admitting a psychiatric diagnosis that the woman MD has no criteria for. And the State Representative Offices can get the 'confidential' complaints - but they won't. Has Representative Anielski any thoughts - or is suicide the only answer - like for her son? Certainly no one is helping the women MDs falsely accused by the State Medical Borad of Ohio - just as no one helped her son. And she's clueless on both accounts.
Apparently Representative Marlene Anielski thinks that women MDs will commit suicide, to cover the mistakes of the Ohio Medical Board, like her son to cover problems at St. Ignatius & home. And some of the falsely suspended women MDs have been watched for suicide - because their lives, their chance at a family, their childbearing years - are all taken for sport - to make an example of them - that you do what Dr. Nice says. To make the woman MD a poster child for 'sleeping with Dr. Nice.' To this day, Dr. Nice can get any Ohio women MDs license taken so that she will never practice medicine again - in Ohio - or anywhere else. Tim Nice is not on the State Medical Board, but he has 'friends' there that will lie, cheat, and kill for him. Representative Anielski's office admits that she knows nothing about what goes on at the State Medical Board of Ohio - the women Representatives don't, but the men do - Budish, Patton - the friends of Dr. Nice know what is going on.
Red jackets are not the answer - cancelling coffee is not the answer. Secret files at the Medical Board for Dr. Nice - where he gets to 'hit on' the woman MD, and then leave her fractures uncasted when she says 'No' - are not the answer. The Catholic parish priests involved - Fr James Caddy & Fr Bob Kriege - know about it - but they are following the same code of silence as they did for diocesan abuse - wait until the woman commits suicide and extol her in eulogies.
Women MDs are 'hit on' for sexual favors, and women MDs in Ohio can't do a thing about it - except - accept it with aequanimitas - which just makes the abuse worse. Coffee is not going to fix this mess, but it might be a start - but only if Representative Anielski finds the time - and she won't - as she didn't for her son. Her son wandered into a park in despair, and if only in his name, an end to the abuse of women MDs needs to start. One almost wants to commit suicide when you can't get fractures casted, can't get appropriate blood work or treatments, can't have a child, can't get ob-gyn care, and can't get anyone to listen - but then you are Catholic and that means you have to watch your body mistreated, your mind wasted, and your life lost.

I've been there 17 years and I'm always on top of the grades and track it like no other. But I had a kid slip through the cracks. I wasn't even worried about this kid. It's my mistake. —Olympus coach Matt Barnes
Things have quickly gone from bad to worse for Olympus' boys basketball team.
In a week, the Titans lost home games to both Mountain View and Orem and they also found out they will be forced to forfeit four Region 7 victories for using an ineligible player.
"I've been there 17 years and I'm always on top of the grades and track it like no other. But I had a kid slip through the cracks. I wasn't even worried about this kid," said Olympus coach Matt Barnes. "It's my mistake."
Olympus now finishes Region 7 with a 6-6 record and is locked into the No. 3 seed for the playoffs despite forfeiting wins over Skyline, Corner Canyon, Timpanogos and Murray from Feb. 4-14.
Olympus' ineligible player only played a handful of minutes late in each of those four games, but the UHSAA rules for using an ineligible player are very straightforward these days.7 comments on this story
"With all the fiasco that's gone on with East (football) and the others the past couple of years, it's kind of zero tolerance," said Barnes. "We accept the consequences and penalties and we'll just get ready for next week and see where it goes."
Barnes first learned about the situation on Wednesday afternoon, and confirmed it with his administrators on Thursday. It was a tough pill to swallow for a team that began the week seeking a perfect region season.
"It's a bummer for my kids, especially since the kid had no bearing on what took place during the season," said Barnes.
Olympus will now face either Sky View or Logan in the first round of the state tournament at the University of Utah on Monday, March 3, at 4 p.m.

Fort Hays State University > About FHSU > Executive Division > Faculty Senate > November 2011
The first snow of the season has blanketed Hays, which is
normally reserved for finals week. If you see panicked faculty anywhere, they
are probably confused and think grades are due in a few days. The confusion
will pass quickly.
Over the last year I've been fortunate to be part of an FHSU
task force charged with the design of a new type of classroom. Technology and
student need are changing the way we teach, but the classrooms we work in are
stuck in a 20th Century "stand and deliver" environment with fixed
chairs in column-row organization and a podium in front made for lecture and
not much else.
But today's instructor and student want to be in a more
flexible, cooperative environment. Empowering students to work collaboratively
with the instructor and other students in groups, giving multiple multimedia
sources to show a variety of viewpoints and instructional aides to students,
allowing students to share work across groups, and provide a variety of seating
options so students can feel like they're learning in a comfortable environment
should all be part of the 21st Century classroom.
Fortunately, we have that very classroom right down the hall
from my office. The Mediated Classroom Redesign pilot is underway, and we have
created a learning space that is inviting, group-based, and very forward
thinking. We use technology to reach our students where they live, but we can
take that same approach to learning and redesign our learning spaces to teach
students in a way that opens them up rather than forces them into a strict
format that does not conform to their learning styles. I hope we will see a
shift toward these agile, student-focused environments in more classrooms as
time goes on. I invite anyone who is interested to ask more about what I think
will be the model for classroom redesigns over the coming decade. It's the
kind of environment our students deserve.

Ray Wylie Hubbard took to Facebook to comment on his recent gig at a Lubbock nightspot:
He wrote: "Okie, dokie. Lubbock, I love ya, but you got to pass a no smoking indoors at clubs. Either that or that you can only inhale. You cannot exhale. Come on, catch up with the 20th century. It was a great crowd, other than my clothes got smokey."
One Lubbock reader suggested that the media begin listing entertainment choices by smoking facilities and non-smoking venues.
Another said that allowing club owners to choose their policy, allowing patrons to decide whether to smoke, and allowing entertainers to decide where to play all spelled out freedom.

Jennifer Garner Talks Beauty Tips in 'Redbook' Feature
Jennifer Garner looks gorgeous in this new feature for Redbook's August 2013 issue.
Here is what the 41-year-old Dallas Buyers Club actress had to share with the mag:
On a lesson she learned from her hairstylists: "They taught me that letting my hair dry naturally – which is what I do every single day – is good for it…but it's not always going to look good. Pulling out the blow-dryer and the curling iron really does make a difference. But to be perfectly honest, I don't know even know where the hair dryer is in my house."
On going from every day clothes to the red carpet: "The red carpet feels like a whole other side of me. What I wear during the day reflects utility. The red carpet is really fun. It's show business, and we're putting on a show. A lot of people are involved in the styling and my voice is one of the smaller ones in the mix. You should hear the conversations [in a dramatic voice] 'I think it's a smoky eye and a simple lip…' I make fun of everyone for being so invested."
On her favorite beauty tip: "Putting on SPF should be like brushing your teeth."
Also pictured inside: Jennifer heading to a party with her four-year-old daughter Seraphina on Sunday (July 14) in Pacific Palisades, Calif.

Talented Workforce
GOAL: Building a region of skilled, adaptive and productive lifelong learners
People are the region's most precious resource. As the labor pool shrinks, there will be a rapidly widening gap between available jobs and the people to fill them. MMAC is dedicated to supporting and expanding the entire pipeline of talent – from K-12 through post-secondary education, through workforce training and lifelong learning. For the Milwaukee Region to thrive, all people need to be able to perform to their highest potential.
Metro Milwaukee has posted significant gains in education attainment over the past 25 years, which is critical to the development of all sectors in our economy.
For more than 20 years, MMAC has committed to an agenda of expanding educational options and strengthening Milwaukee Public Schools. But we have far to go, with only 16% of Milwaukee third-graders reading at grade level. Once in the workforce, employees must be able to refine and improve their skills through agile technical programs and apprenticeships. Educational institutions and employers must be aligned to deliver people with the needed skills. As a community, we must do all we can to attract and retain the best, diverse talent to keep our region vital and relevant in a world of changing demographics.

" Genre: Humour / Author: Rosemary Davidson, Sarah Vine / Hardcover / 304 Pages / Book is published 2007-07-19 by Viking "
* Prices may differ from that shown
This book was released a couple of years ago as an obvious female response to the success of "The Dangerous Book For Boys." I was already aware of co-author Sarah Vine as she is a 'Times' journalist. Just like "Dangerous Book" it comes wiht a slightly suptuous embossed material-style hardback cover - but in a dark purple.
It does not take a genius to work out that this an inherently female book, but meant for all ages. It has a particular onus on simplistic activities that could come under the banner of 'old fashioned' or traditional.
For example, there are sections on needlecraft, basic gardening, cooking at the beginning. Then its activities are ordered by the seasons. The use of nature informs a lot of them eg "whistling on a blade of grass." It also contains some interesting information about each season eg festivals as well as seasonal crafts - egg decorating etc.
There may be a bias towards old-fashioned largely forgotten pursuits but it is still quite knowing - there are references to Nigella Lawson. There are also sections on make-up and beauty, pets, party planning, magic tricks, cultural recommendations - classic books and films as well as a special section on Christmas. One section which is particularly entertaining is entitled "How To Deal With Boys."
The book has a really nice ethos as itis written with a sense of wanting to find enjoyment in a simple, not to mention cheaper way, and a nostalgia for simple, feminine skills with practical and enjoyable elements. A nice touch is the biographies of inspirational women through the ages.
There is no doubt that this book is wholesome, but without being at all preachy. It is quite a refreshing read -bit of a novelty that I can imagine a lot of mothers and daughters enjoying together.
