Does the West Village have another fashionable denizen?
A mystery buyer has just picked up one of the six Robert A.M. Stern townhouses in back of the record-setting Superior Ink tower. The five-bedroom Neo-Georgian at 60 Bethune Street was just purchased for $10.5 million. That is a good bit below the ask of $11.6 million set in mid-April–a year ago, they were asking more than $13 million–but a broker from Related Sales told The Observer the reason for the price-cut was that the space was being delivered raw, without the finishes from Yabu Pushelberg.
The price is not far from what Marc Jacobs paid for his home four doors down, when he bought 68 Bethune for $10.495 million in December 2009. Only two of the townhouses remain on the market, another five-bedroom for $11.95 million and the seven-bedroom stunner asking an even $14 million.

If you have ever assembled Ready-to-Assemble furniture of any kind you are probably familiar with these time savers. Tee nuts are an industry standard because they simplify after-market assembly are easy to install using automatic equipment and hold extremely well. Our Tee nuts are a patented improvement over those you probably have encountered before. Most are generally round with four smooth nailing stakes and a uniform barrel. Ours are somewhat rectangular in shape for a larger bearing area have saw teeth on the four nailing stakes for extra grip and have a tapered barrel to aid in alignment when pounding them in. Ours are also made of considerably thicker steel plate for extra strength. Tee nuts are ideal for table legs where leg levelers are required or for joining materials as shown. Unplated Steel. Made in Canada.

Comments about 1/4-20 x 7/16BL Tee Nut Large Flange:
I needed about 80 tee nuts to build a Pinewood Derby track. I really appreciate McFeely's bulk packs. Saved quite a bit over buying at the hardware store AND these particular tee nuts have a larger flange than what I saw locally so they should hold better.
This beats a hex nut and washer

Easy to use in place of a nut/washer combination, especially in places where clearance for a wrench would be difficult. The holding power is there. The low-profile can be of great benefit, too.

Detox for the Mind
The human mind is like an absorbent sponge, sucking up all sorts of information. Immediately, from the second you are born, your mind begins to take in sights, sounds, and thoughts. This intake never stops. It just continuously piles up your feelings, your failures, your successes, your dreams and any thought you have ever had. By the time you get to your twenties or thirties, your mind is ready to explode. You need to be able to clear your head of all the unnecessary and bad thoughts that have accumulated and learn how to observe things without clogging your mind. One way to do this through Vipassana Meditation.
Vipassana is a style of meditation based on self-purification through self-observation. Like all meditations, it bases its technique around the breath and centering the mind. This breathing technique allows you to become more aware of what is changing in your body and mind, creating an interconnection between your mind and body. It ultimately help dissolve mental impurities, allowing you to be exposed to the universal truths of suffering, egolessness, and impermanence and reach a balance of a mind full of love and compassion.
Vipassana is one of India's most ancient meditation techniques, that was later rediscovered by Gotama the Buddha. However, there are no spiritual or religious attachments to this type of meditation. It is not a commercialized type of meditation or exercise and only a select few are trained to teach it. Therefore, you can not just sign up for a class in a near by location. If you want to try Vipassana, you must apply to take a ten day course from one of the few instructors who do teach it. The course is free, however, there are a number of rules you must follow. For example, you can not use any form of technology, you can not wear tight or form fitting clothing and you can not use any form of drugs or alcohol. If you would like to learn more about Vipassana and its courses, or if you would like to apply to take a course, you can visit this website.
If you are just starting to try meditation and Vipassana seems a little too intense, try doing some yoga. This will help teach you the basic breathing and focusing techniques that you will use in meditation. It also has the added bonus of helping you get into shape. If you want to try yoga, you can sign up for classes at the Pittsburgh beauty salon, Verve.

In case you missed it...and unless you were in Lente, Italy this weekend you probably did...the G8 Finance Ministers met to reassure one another of their relevance. By this metric alone, they were not very successful.
Not only has the G8 been rightfully eclipsed by the G20 as the relevant forum for addressing the current financial crisis, but many of the reasons for past G8 meetings seem to have faded or been overtaken by developments. First, the European members of the group only have one monetary policy between them and that one doesn't seem to be going so well. Next, European leaders have effectively opted out from anything other than rhetorical interventions in world markets in the wake of the crisis. Third, even on the rhetorical front there is precious little consensus among the leaders of these countries.
This last point is ironic since the reason G8-ophiles give for continuing to operate the group even given the absence of the key emerging economies is that we need to gather "like-minded" countries. But the Europeans want big change in the international system. And the Americans seem to want as little change as possible.
No meaningful addressing of the "too big to fail" issue. No meaningful addressing of executive compensation. No meaningful regulatory reform. (Just strengthened coordination which, without new global rules and enforcement mechanisms, is just a page from the "what I said before only louder" policy playbook, a favorite for the governments everywhere. For another example see again the recent U.N. "sanctions" against North Korea.) The whole approach to the financial crisis seems to be: "What? There's no wizard? There's a man behind the curtain?! Shit. Give me a drink of stimulus. In fact, give me enough shots of stimulus that I can forget that there's no man behind the curtain and get back to believing in the wizard. Gosh, I loved that wizard. Wizard...wizard...where are you wizard?")
If because you missed the relevance of the G8 gathering then you may be forgiven for not recognizing that the session's irrelevance is being underscored by the relative importance of the meeting in a couple days of leaders of the BRIC countries in Ekaterinberg in Russia. This site was no doubt offered up the Russians because of its rich, resonant irony. That's because it was near Ekaterinberg that the last of the czars and his family finally met their end, and it is at this location the BRICs hope to realize the promise of Fareed Zakaria's Post-American World by cutting down to size the closest thing to an imperial power the world has these days...which sadly, fellow Americans, would be us.
The not-so-secret weapon of this group, besides their size, their resources, their power and, most importantly, their growing significance, is their ability to coordinate their policies. This is not so easy, their interests often conflict (example: Brazil and India want in to the U.N. Security Council, Russia and China are not so enthusiastic about their joining). But try to imagine our arriving at a solution to the problems in North Korea or with Iran's nuclear program, containing threats in Pakistan, stability in Central Asia, or from climate change, or running the world trading system without them and you see the potency of the group...if they stick together. This is particularly true with the one issue that no doubt will be central to this week's discussions -- their effort to assert significant influence over the future value of the dollar. In recent months, BRIC leaders have argued for the adoption of a new international currency (not so realistic), they have shown a willingness to purchase/use IMF SDRs (standard drawing rights, a kind of currency equivalent) instead of dollars, and they have talked about their doubts about the dollar.
It is often said that it would hurt the Chinese and the others for the dollar to collapse given their currency holdings and their dependency on trade with and investment from the United States. And while this is true, that doesn't minimize the leverage they gain from proving to the world that they can play a role in establishing the price of the dollar and that they are not unwilling to use this power. In fact, their recent statements and actions prove this but I think it's fair to speculate that they will, at some point, rattle the saber even louder to enhance the leverage they already have. (It's a power they've used increasingly. The Chinese called the U.S. Treasury during the Fannie Mae crisis to demand action with the more than implicit "or else" being the sell off of U.S. government securities.)
Having said all this...and despite the importance of Russia's oil and nukes, India's billion people and promise and Brazil's continental size, ag export leadership, and recent oil discoveries...there is one critical fact to remember about the BRICs:
Without China, the BRICs are just the BRI, a bland, soft cheese that is primarily known for the whine that goes with it. China is the muscle of the group and the Chinese know it. They have effective veto power over any BRIC initiatives because without them, who cares really? They are the one with the big reserves. They are the biggest potential market. They are the U.S. partner in the G2 (imagine the coverage a G2 meeting gets vs. a G8 meeting) and the E2 (no climate deal without them) and so on. And so while the Russians have been the most eager of organizers of the BRICs because they want to create a counterbalance to U.S. power (not a terrible thing, I think for the world or for the United States given what we've seen of our tendencies when we do when being the sole superpower goes to our head), we should see the emergence of the BRIC bloc for what it is at its heart, a major amplifier of the influence of the country at its heart, China.
As an aside, I don't think we should see the rise of a counterbalancing bloc as a terrible thing either for the world or even for America. While having enemies is to be avoided wherever possible, having rivals is essential. It promotes reevaluation and growth. Imagine what computing would be like if we lived in an all Microsoft, Apple-less world. They make each other better. (Which in that case means Microsoft forces the smaller Apple to be innovative and Apple forces the Microsoft behemoth to be less awful.)
That said, we should also recognize how far the bloc has come in its development and consider that in the future they are -- strengths, weaknesses, imbalances, tensions and all -- the most likely counterbalance to U.S. influence...and for that matter to the influence of more radical voices like those of rogue states or of extremist Islam somehow united (which is much less likely than the BRICs keeping their act together.)
Having said that, I have to emphasize that they are not a direct threat to the United States and we should not view them as an enemy. Their efforts to align themselves actually is likely to diminish the tendency that any one of them may have (I'm talking about you, Vladimir) to stray into more confrontational postures. And so long as they responsibly play the voice they assert they seek -- as an effective counterbalance to the U.S. representing the equities of major populations worldwide -- they actually have a very constructive and useful role to play in global affairs.

The BRICs and what the BRICs would be without China...
While G2 and E2 can really call the shots if they unite, fact is even in G2, China is calling all the shots because China has US by the tail. US inflation will zoom up without China's cheap consumer goods and US dollar will collapse without heavy Chinese investments in US treasuries. US businesses are so hooked to huge profits that cheap Chinese products generate for them that US Congress dare NOT or can NOT pass a single bill restricting import of Chinese products. And US government is so hooked to Chinese investments in its treasury bills that secretary of state and treasury secretary have to make pilgrimage to Beijing just to keep Chinese Communists in good humor. So just as BRIC will be nothing without C, G2 also has only C calling the shots. How far has Communist China come since that Nixon-Kissinger duo in their infinite wisdom decided to embrace China's Communist dragon with a capitalist mask to counter Russia's Soviet bear on that fateful day in June, 1972!
The BRICs and what the BRICs would be without China...
It behooves China to erect a statue of anti-Communist Nixon right next to Communist Mao in Beijing. Afterall China was a pariah country in the world, just like today's North Korea before that Nixon embrace.

It's time to hit the road again on The Amazing Race — with plenty of familiar faces. The CBS reality hit returns Sunday with 11 veteran teams who had never won before to settle, as the season's subtitle says, some Unfinished Business. "These are teams that have been so incredibly popular that it was an opportunity to bring back some favorite teams that have favorite stories," host Phil Keoghan tells TVGuide.com. "They're teams that have really been walking around with the 'woulda, coulda, shoulda' ever since they got kicked off. It's like, enough moaning; come back and give it another shot and no more excuses."Check out photos from The Amazing RaceBut casting Unfinished Business — the show's second all-star outing after Season 11 — was as hard as designing the Race itself. For one, Season 13 wound up not being represented at all, even though fan favorites Toni and Dallas, who lost their passports, seemed like shoo-ins. "It really comes down to whether you think that story of theirs is really stronger than that of anyone we've got," Keoghan says. "There are a lot of other teams, but I feel pretty confident that the teams we've got have the best stories and the best motivation for coming back."So why are these 11 also-rans the cream of the crop?

On a day where scarves are definitely an asset in Toronto, Olympic world champion Adam van Koeverden would like you to consider buying one with a special message: Be Fair 2 Rare.
Today is International Rare Disease Day, marking the one-year anniversary of the Be Fair 2 Rare campaign launched by the iBellieve Foundation. The campaign, aligned with the Canadian Organization of Rare Disorders, seeks to increase awareness, funds and advocacy for the rare disease community in Canada.
These diseases aren't as rare as people think when you consider that 1 in 12 Canadians suffer from one of over 7,000 different rare diseases.
Yet Canada is the only developed country in the world that doesn't have a national health care policy supporting research into cures. Canada also doesn't support existing therapies, meaning patients can't access therapies that could save or dramatically improve their lives.
Rare diseases are usually life threatening or life altering – and children represent 75 per cent of those afflicted.
The force behind the Be Fair 2 Rare campaign is Simon Ibell, whose former work as an athlete co-ordinator at Right To Play and friendship with the likes of Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki has created numerous connections in the sports world.
Ibell has Hunter syndrome, or mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II), a rare metabolic disorder. In a great feature on Ibell, the Star's Megan Ogilvie wrote of the disease: "People with MPS diseases lack an enzyme needed to break down long chains of sugars, called mucopolysaccharides, in their cells. Over time, the sugar chains, which are used to build bone and connective tissue, accumulate to dangerous levels. The backlog of waste damages organs and can lead to death."
Also championing the campaign is Olympic and world kayaking champion Adam van Koeverden, who blogged about the cause today. He didn't bring his scarf with him to the team's current training camp in Florida, though.
"I'm 100 percent involved because of Simon Ibell," said van Koeverden. "He's a good friend of mine. He's an inspiring guy. He's brought to light a lot of very interesting facts and figures and realities about the world of rare disease.
"By nature, rare diseases don't get a lot of consideration or attention because they're so rare. But as a group, they're so significant that they really can't be ignored. Similar to Simon in that he's so smart and inspiring and concise in his messaging that he can't be ignored, either.
"Simon is a great role model for activist leaders, for people who engage athletes and the community of Canadians, as most Canadians do. Simon's just reaching out to develop some awareness and I think it's a fabulous campaign."
The campaign is looking for people to sign the petition to support the adoption of a federal rare disease policy at their website www.befair2rare.com, where donations can be made and scarves can be purchased. The scarves also also be sold at Roots.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Neighbors are worried the damage to a concrete storm water ditch could cause flooding to their homes.
Water was at its peak during a rain storm Tuesday afternoon in the Mirage Channel near Lexington Drive and Union Boulevard on the northeast side of Colorado Springs.
Crews began shoring up portions of the damaged walls early Wednesday morning.
Helen Migchelbrink, the city's director of Public Works told 11 News fixing the Mirage Channel is a top priority. The goal now for city engineers is to take a holistic approach to fixing the channel and make permanent repairs.
The temporary repairs currently underway should last through the winter.
"I can't speak to the past efforts, I think there's been a variety, but that just tells me that we've had citizens tell us they've been watching sheets of concrete break up," Migchelbrink said Wednesday. "It's a scary thing, so let's get it right."
Migchelbrink estimates the overhaul project will cost $750,000 with work beginning early in the spring of 2013. The temporary repairs currently underway should last through the winter.

§ Sir J. Mellorasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food, why some of the announcements, published by the Ministry of Food in local newspapers on 5th June, made no reference to the right of a householder to collect all new 722W ration books for the household on the same day; why, in some cases, the contrary was indicated and what corrections will be issued?
§ Mr. MabaneIn some areas it is impracticable to complete the issue of documents for early surnames on days when later surnames are being dealt with. The reason for this is that sufficient storage space is not available at the office of distribution for all undistributed documents and these have to be transferred elsewhere for safe keeping. In order to overcome this difficulty, instructions were issued on 1st June to all food executive officers that they should collect the old documents and send by registered post the new documents which they were unable to issue for the reason I have explained. The local advertisements to which my hon. Friend calls attention are inserted by local food offices. Steps are being taken to correct any advertisements brought to the attention of my Department which do not carry out my noble Friend's directions in this matter.

US Attorney Breaks Silence On Medical-Marijuana Battle - Printable Version +- Kind Green Buds Forums (http://www.kindgreenbuds.com/forums) +-- Forum: Medical Marijuana Community (/forum-9.html) +--- Forum: Current Events / MMJ in the News (/forum-18.html) +--- Thread: US Attorney Breaks Silence On Medical-Marijuana Battle (/thread-2947.html) |
US Attorney Breaks Silence On Medical-Marijuana Battle - kindgreenbuds - 03-15-2012 12:24 PM Medical-cannabis patients and providers should expect ongoing persecution in California. However, media backlash due to the nearly half-year-old federal crackdown is affecting at least one prominent drug warrior: United States Attorney for the Eastern District of California Benjamin Wagner. Wagner broke the Department of Justice's near silence with regard to the crackdown during a candid, hour-long talk and question-and-answer session last Tuesday at a Sacramento Press Club luncheon. The $30-a-plate affair took place on the 15th floor of 1201 K Street, and inside, Wagner admitted that the cannabis cleanup was the idea of the four U.S. Attorneys in California, not Washington, D.C. The four were upset because of what Wagner called "flagrant" marijuana sales in the state. So they declared war on medical marijuana last October, sending out hundreds of forfeiture-warning letters to dispensaries across California. His office is in the process of seizing at least one dispensary in Sacramento, while officials have closed more or less every dispensary in Sacramento County. He reiterated that they're not going after patients and caregivers, rather interstate transporters, huge pot farmers and illicit dispensaries grossing tens of thousands of dollars per day in cash. But the media critique of the war is wearing on Wagner, it seems. He said he counts on good press to create a "deterrent effect" in regard to cases of mortgage fraud, child exploitation, human trafficking and major gang violence. But he's not getting any of that. "I think that the members of the press would be forgiven for thinking that marijuana enforcement is all that we do," he said. "It is far from the most important thing that we do. I have many other higher priorities that have a much bigger impact on public safety. I did not seek the position of U.S. attorney in order to launch a campaign against medical marijuana." Wagner was appointed by President Barack Obama in 2009 and has been with the DOJ since 1992, primarily in the Eastern District. When he and the other three U.S. attorneys took office at the end of 2009, "We found that we were in the middle of an explosion of marijuana cultivation and sales," he said. Federal policy didn't change, rather "what we saw =C2=85 was an unregulat ed free-for-all in California in which huge amounts of money was being made selling marijuana =C2=85 to virtually anybody who wanted to get ston ed." Wagner said that's not what California voters approved. Stores marking up pot 200 percent is "not about sick people. That's about money." His reaction has been "quite measured," he said. Most dispensaries just got warning letters. "In a few instances, after ample warnings, we've brought civil-enforcement actions while reserving criminal prosecution for the most flagrant violators of not only federal law but state law," he said. He referred to cases such as one where seven Roseville and Fresno suspects were indicted in February for growing pot with doctor's recommendations and running a dispensary as a front to traffic it to seven states in the Midwest and South. Wagner also warned that a season of raids in the Central Valley is coming in 2012, and that mega pot farmers are on notice that if they plant again this year, their land could be seized. He tried to make the case that pot is just a fraction of what his office does, referring to 61 indictments on mortgage fraud last fiscal year. During audience questions, activists asked why the federal government says marijuana has "no medical use," yet the United States has patented its ingredient, cannabidiol, for treating strokes. "What I know about marijuana as medicine you can probably put in a thimble," he said. But health policy is not his job, he said. "My advice to you is to write your congressman." Sacramento lawyer Alan Donato asked for guidelines for local dispensaries to avoid federal attention. "I'm not in a position to be of much comfort," Wagner said. "You don't ask the CHP, 'How many miles over the speed limit can I go before you pull me over?'" Stephen Downing, a retired Los Angeles Police Department deputy chief and member of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, asked if the failed drug war would ever make Wagner say "Enough is enough" to his boss, Attorney General Eric Holder. "That's hard to say," Wagner said. "I totally understand the debate over legalization as opposed to criminalizing narcotics. "It really depends on what the cost-benefits are. Marijuana is obviously not nearly as destructive as [methamphetamine]. The risks in legalizing marijuana may be significantly less that meth." But prescription drugs "are the biggest, worst drug problem in terms of trends =C2=85 [and] that's a legal drug." SN&R news intern Matthew W. Urner got the biggest attention of the lunch, asking Wagner if he ever tried the second-most-commonly used mind-altering substance in America, and if so, what he thought. "Uh," said Wagner, "I'll say that I went to college." RE: US Attorney Breaks Silence On Medical-Marijuana Battle - OpenSpaces - 03-16-2012 11:01 AM Interesting article. I have a couple of questions you might be able to clarify for me. (Federal policy didn't change, rather "what we saw was an unregulated free-for-all in California in which huge amounts of money was being made selling marijuana to virtually anybody who wanted to get stoned.") I cannot speak to Federal policy but minus the dramatic tone the rest of this is true is it not? From what you have said I was under the impression that the lack of any formal regulation was one of the biggest problems. I cringe every time I see one of the Docudramas showing California. They make it look like anyone can walk into a store front and get their recommendation. "shit doc, the stress is eating me up" and get the reply "hell, son. All you need is some refer" Joan Rivers got one for crying out loud. (also commented on how bad it was and how it should not be legal) All on her reality TV show no less. (Wagner said that's not what California voters approved. Stores marking up pot 200 percent is "not about sick people. That's about money.") Is this number real? If it is expect me to tee off on this so hard it will make Tiger Woods feel inadequate. Guy sounds like he is probably a great lawyer. Instantly deflected any question other than the alleged offenses being investigated. If this guy would agree to a meeting you could ask what specifically he takes at issue and it sounds as if he would answer. He ducked the following question as it is so broad he could be construed as setting federal policy which is not in his offices power. Do you happen to have the full text of one of the federal complaints? (Sacramento lawyer Alan Donato asked for guidelines for local dispensaries to avoid federal attention. "I'm not in a position to be of much comfort," Wagner said. "You don't ask the CHP, 'How many miles over the speed limit can I go before you pull me over?'") If all of the complaints could be reviewed as a group then you could isolate the specific issues and maybe find a pattern. Look for the subtle distinctions as opposed to the general complaints. They will all say more or less the same thing so break it down into categories. Sounds like total monies received for final product seems to be a big issue. (He referred to cases such as one where seven Roseville and Fresno suspects were indicted in February for growing pot with doctor's recommendations and running a dispensary as a front to traffic it to seven states in the Midwest and South.) If this is true then every advocate of a legal system should be pissed. Any poorly regulated system is open to its abuses but these are the kinds of assholes who are fucking it up for the rest of us. What say ye there KGB? I am not overly busy with work right now so if you can find the documentation I can look it over. I am not saying I will find anything new but lets face it brother my viewpoint on how best to solve the current problems is not always in accord with most of the established groups. Worst case is I waste some time. Best case we might see something others have discounted. Having contracted for so many years I can look back and tell you the most important thing I learned was how to write documentation to the FED. RE: US Attorney Breaks Silence On Medical-Marijuana Battle - kindgreenbuds - 03-16-2012 02:44 PM i've always heard people say things like "I see a bunch of healthy looking people going in to get weed, it's just an excuse for people who want to get stoned.." i think it stems from the original sentiment for the medical marijuana use, back in '96 when the law was first passed in California. let's not forget that this was 15+ years ago, and many things have changed since then. when the idea of medical marijuana was first introduced, the front runners were seriously ill patients (cancer, aids, etc.) since then, it has become more accepted, and I don't see any problem with people using it for more "minor" conditions like insomnia, anxiety, stress, etc. it is a fact that marijuana is a much safer way of dealing with these conditions than any of the pills that are being pushed down our throats. so if someone is using marijuana instead of taking sleeping pills, to me that is a valid medical reason. having said all that, i also believe that marijuana should be legal for ALL use, including medical, industrial, spiritual, and recreational. anyone who opposes legalizing recreational use should take a look at alcohol statistics.. as far as the issue of some dispensaries being in it only for the money, and not really caring for patients, i think it is completely separate from the access issue, and only stems from the state government not regulating the industry. perfect example is Los Angeles - all we have heard for years is that the city has a moratorium on new dispensaries, it is being reviewed, blah blah blah... this has been going on for years, while no concrete regulations have been put in place, and new dispensaries are popping up on every corner. so what we have is a few "good" collectives who really try to lead by example, overshadowed by a bunch of shady shops who are only in it for the money. RE: US Attorney Breaks Silence On Medical-Marijuana Battle - OpenSpaces - 03-16-2012 09:42 PM I agree with you. You have commented several times that the lack of real regulation has been a problem. Why has there been such difficulty setting standards for regulation? If one were prone to conspiracy theories the idea of leaving things vague allows them to pick and choose who gets hit and who does not with little to no justification. As you know, I have always favored open access. Anyone of legal age to purchase intoxicants should have safe and legal access. Under age persons with a legit medical need should be able to go to the family doctor who knows the history. It sounds simple enough. Reality would show this assumption to be false. I keep asking for specifics so the information can be used to help us here. What happens to us is the committee reviews the proposal and takes offense to something within the proposal. (last time it was the wording of one section, TWO damn words) The committee kicks it back to the floor where it dies for another year. At that point all we can do is scour through the committee notes and the notes of the individual members to find the problem and look for a solution. Obtaining the records can be a big issue at times. One would almost find it logical to have representatives meet with the committee to discuss individual issues for adjustment and correction but this is government so there is no logic. I was not trying to be a dick to mariejane asking for answers and supporting documentation to certain questions, nor am I trying to play Devils Advocate. I ask because I think the information could be of value to us here. Reality TV makes me cringe because of things like this: http://www.buzzfeed.com/whitneyjefferson/joan-rivers-smokes-from-a-bong-gets-stoned-on-tv http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2094767/Joan-Rivers-78-gets-stoned-carpark-unable-drive-home--filmed-reality-show.html I caught the previews so watched the show and all I could think was "I hope the committee chairman does not see this". Fat chance of that because this goof made international news smoking pot on the street in a parked car. The rest of it was pretty funny and any time you can get Melissa Rivers in a wet t-shirt it makes for good TV.

August 2, 2009 'Why Israel is Nervous'
Superior piece in the Wall Street Journal from former Assistant Secretary of State Elliot Abrams on the escalating tension between Israel and the US.
A sample: Since President Obama came to office on Jan. 20 and then Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on March 31, the main motif in relations between the two governments has been friction. While nearly 80% of American Jews voted for Mr. Obama, that friction has been visible enough to propel him to meet with American Jewish leaders recently to reassure them about his policies. But last month, despite those reassurances, both the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and the Anti-Defamation League issued statements critical of the president's handling of Israel. Given the warm relations during the Bush years and candidate Obama's repeated statements of commitment to the very best relations with Israel, why have we fallen into this rut? Numerous AT writers and bloggers have been saying much the same thing for months. Every move Obama has made regarding Israel seems to have been designed to show the Arab world that he is putting pressure on our ally. This is not likely to bring about peace any more than coddling the Palestinians will. Obama's policies are wrecking the relationship between Israel and the US and far from gaining any influence, Obama is making America less relevant. Read the whole piece by Abrams for some excellent history of our relations with Israel. |

For a production company (animation) in India, this has to be the most exciting time. Not only is animation in India growing at a rapid rate, but also because the world has discovered India as a prime animation outsourcing destination. Animation as a technique is finding newer avenues to expand in at a furious pace. What was earlier limited to films and ad films is now an integral part of web sites developing, presentations, and corporate communiqués.
The reason why the western world finds India so attractive when it comes to animation production is that any production company (animation) in India offers a three way advantage over any other country. These advantages are:
While there are several companies producing animation in India, one Production Company (Animation) that stands out from the crowd is Showboat Entertainment. This company (animation) has been producing quality animation for almost a decade now for clients who are both from India as well as international. Showboat Entertainment's main strength lies in its animators who are all technically well trained and have a strong conceptual grasp of animation, while also having an inherent creativity that sets them apart from everyone else

This season's schedule is different from the past. First, there will be only 8 international senior tournaments in each weapon. In the past, men's saber had 14-15 world cups with varying strengths. With only 8, every country will attend (should) each world cup, making for no easy competitions.
The Plovdiv, Bulgaria World Cup is also the first of 3 grand prix tournaments. They will count as 1.5 of a regular world cup. Meaning, they will award more points for Grand Prix events.
Team events are now help with the "regular" world cups. Countries may only send 8 fencers to a grand prix and 12 to a "regular" world cup. However, because most countries have more than 8 strong fencers, and because of the reduced numbers, it should mean that the "regular" world cups will likely be stronger and larger than the Grand Prix ones.
Will post results from day tomorrow. There are 135 total competitors. 119 compete tomorrow with pools and preliminaries for 48 spots into the second day of 64.
Fencing Masters NYC: My Review and What's Next
December 7, 2010The last few weeks since Fencing Masters NYC I've spent closing things out as well as beginning practice for this upcoming season, but I wanted to take some time to give a quick review of how I think things went and to discuss what's ahead…
To put it into perspective, our mission was to prove that fencing has a large enough fan-base to hold large scale events, that fencing CAN (And Should!) be on TV in the USA, to create a quality platform for the sport that corporate sponsors would be interested in supporting and to help financially support Olympic hopefuls.
Overall Grade: B+/A-
The Good:
- We proved that there is a market for Fencing: 1800+ people attended, the majority of which had a good time watching our great sport
- Fencing was on TV in the USA! And, can easily do it again and do so on a national scale with the right kind of support behind it
- Sponsors ARE Interested in our sport: Nike, Fortress Financial, BNP Paribas, BisroMD Sport and others provided product, money and other support for the event
- Good Local Media Exposure/Some National:We had appearances on 4 local NY mornings shows, Bloomberg news, a photo shoot with V Man magazine, Shape Magazine and Access Hollywood did write ups, Sports Business Journal and others here and there.
- Athletes Got money! When all is said and done we will have provided over 20k to athletes in a sport where athlete's don't get a lot of financial support
- A Track Record to Build On: Perhaps most importantly, we now will have some great data, pictures, videos and marketing materials to approach sponsors for additional funds in future years to to the even.
- The Kids! 2 schools are starting after-school fencing programs thanks to some of the assemblies we did in promotion of the event. Seeing so many young kids at the event enjoying themselves was the most inspiring part for me and hopefully we'll see more people starting to fence as a result!
Things to Improve:
- Event Check-in: We had close to 400 walk-ups and could have done a better job getting everyone in at the start of the event (as a side-note, it was kind of cool to have a line down the block for a fencing tournament!)
- Stage Production: We did the event on a shoe-string budget so there were things we would have done with the stage which would have made it look better for TV. I think for the in-person crowd with the replay-screens, FM Logo it looked good.
- Television Production: with all the organization that went into pulling off the event, selling tickets, we could have done a better job with the TV side of the production. I view this year's broadcast as a starting point. Something to build on. Clear things we can do better and will!
- Organization of the Expo: Jeff Spear did an amazing job running the Expo Championship portion, but we could have been more organized directing people to the various stations and understanding the number of stations, where they should be etc.
Thoughts For Moving Forward:
- I'd like to do the event again, but with the London 2012 Olympics closing fast, my #1 priority will (and has been) training and I want to make sure it won't take away from my training/competing.
- Over the Next 3 months, I will be updating our sponsorship/marketing packets with data, pictures etc. from the event and approaching sponsors about funding for 2011. If I can get additional funds from sponsors to take some of the financial stress off of doing the event again then it will likely happen again. This time around, I assumed most of the financial risk and while this was worth it to get it off the ground, it is not sustainable for the long term.
- Fencing in the USA: HAS AN UNBELIEVABLE POTENTIAL FOR GROWTH RIGHT NOW! The iron is hot, we have an amazing community, new clubs/school programs opening all the time, great athletes like Mariel Zagunis, young/amazing foil team etc. We can be something more, but we must have a BIG VISION and EXECUTE! We will grow as big as we believe we can grow. Period.
Things to Add/Change/Goals (Just thinking out loud!)
- Adding 2 more women saber fencers so we can do an expo tournament for the women's saber fencers
- Provide cash prizes to "up the ante" of the fencing
- More National Television and Media Coverage
- Nationally Televised
Grade, B+/A-…Inaugural event and one in a sport that hasn't had events like this in our country. We got fencing on TV for the first time since 1980s. Things to improve, but great starting point!
Thanks to everyone for your support! Please feel free to send thoughts/comments/ideas to me! Always welcomed!

Found February 02, 2013 on
Fox Sports Ohio:
Byron Scott,
Russell Westbrook,
Kevin Durant,
Serge Ibaka
TEAMS: Oklahoma City Thunder, Charlotte Bobcats, San Antonio Spurs
TEAMS: Oklahoma City Thunder, Charlotte Bobcats, San Antonio Spurs
CLEVELAND -- That was more like it.
That was the type of vigor and resolve Byron Scott wants to see.
That was a 115-110 home win Saturday over the powerful Oklahoma City Thunder -- a team that sprints down the floor and can almost will the ball into the basket with the greatest of ease.
But the Cavs, man, they really brought it.
That makes them capable of defeating anyone. That makes them maddening. That makes them young and learning and trying to find their identity.
The Cavs, it seems, can be really good when they want. But Scott doesnt expect them to be really good. He just wants them to want.
Its amazing what happens when we play with energy, Scott said. Thats what weve been looking for every single night.
Scott wasnt agitated. Not after a win like this -- where Kyrie Irving simply took over (yet again), scoring a game-high 35 points and hitting every clutch basket over Thunder star Russell Westbrook.
But Scott wasnt exactly speaking with a smile, either.
His eyes were red, his face was worn, his tone was serious.
When we play with this type of energy, good things can happen, he said. We beat the best team in the league tonight. If that doesnt jar their brains a little bit, somethings wrong.
All of this took place one game after Irving said he wasnt totally interested in a loss at Detroit. He meant no harm in the comments, and Scott said they were likely taken out of context. What Irving was actually trying to say was he didnt play with enough energy and focus. He was trying to shoulder the blame.
It was a different story Saturday. Man, it was a different story.
Not just for Irving, but for all the Cavs. They knew Kevin Durant would be Kevin Durant, the smoothest pure scorer this side of George Iceman Gervin of the gunslinging San Antonio Spurs of the 1970s and 80s.
They knew Westbrook would be pretty doggone good, too. And the Cavs knew the Thunder would keep the ball moving, keep the game up-tempo, and wouldnt just collapse when trailing 92-84 midway through the fourth quarter.
And surprise, surprise. The Cavs were right.
Durant finished with 32 points and 11 rebounds. Westbrook scored 28 on 12-for-22 shooting. Serge Ibaka (18 points, 12 boards) was pretty good, too.
But guess what, ladies and gentlemen? The Cavs (14-34) just wanted it more. They just gave the ball to Kyrie, let him do his thing, and quickly realized thered be no questioning his passion on this night.
Same goes for big man Marreese Speights, who came off the bench to tally 21 points and 10 boards. Speights has been with the Cavs for five games after the trade with Memphis, and has just been an absolute steal. Honestly, you could not ask more of the guy.
Other highlights included Tristan Thompsons 11 points and 12 rebounds and C.J. Miles coming off the bench for 16 points on 5-for-7 shooting. Without question, Miles was a huge part of this win -- and if youre looking for someone who always plays his buns off, well, Miles may be your guy.
But the bottom line here is everyone needs to remember this game. Everyone has to remember that youre not going to see the defending Western Conference champs every night. You have to play like this against the Charlotte Bobcats, too.
I can just go by my own experiences, Scott said of his playing days with the Magic Johnson-led Lakers. I always had a fear of losing. That fear would make me come out and play (with energy). It didnt matter who it was. I get up more for Boston or Philly or Detroit or whoever. It was everybody.
The coach wants his own young players to develop that mentality. And he doesnt want to have to keep telling them.
Hopefully, our guys go home tonight and say, Hey, you know what? We got to play this way every single night, Scott said. It still doesnt guarantee were going to win. But at least it gives us an opportunity.

The Cavaliers introduced us to the "diamond cutter" drill evolution that had multiple groupings of four horn members alternating spinning around a fixed point while playing. The Cadets took us to their home, "The Big Apple," with the color guard carrying segments of New York taxi cabs. Glassmen repeated in fifth place, the corps' highest finish ever, with a Kodaly show that contained the word "Gold" in the title, just as their 1998 show did. The hometown Madison Scouts wrapped up the top six with "Jesus Christ Superstar," remembered for the segment where the corps marched traditional close-order drill.
New to the top 12 in 1999 were the Boston Crusaders. The corps had been trying to make the Finals since DCI's second season in 1973. After placing 14th three times and being edged out of the top 12 in 1994 by 0.40 just outside their hometown in Foxboro, everything clicked in 1999 and the corps propelled itself to 9th place. The Crusaders have been a finalist ever since.
"A Collection of Symphonic Dances" began with a soft chorale selection from Alfred Reed's immensely popular concert band classic, "Armenian Dances," soon seguing to an immense musical hit that let those in the stands know that this corps had something to say and had been waiting a long time to say it. Massive burnt orange and gold flags filled the field for a few moments before the corps moved into the body of its show, three dances by the British composer Malcolm Arnold.
"Allegro Risoluto" (from "English Dances, Set 1") was the last of four movements of Arnold's mid-20th Century orchestral suite inspired by English country folk songs. The ending of this piece offered a depth and volume in the brass that fans were unaccustomed to from the corps. "Vivace" is the second movement from the same suite. One can hear the horns creating the bell tones that are suggested to signal the festivities in a village town. The corps got the effect of the church bells by layering notes of ascending triads (individual notes of a chord) on top of one another, conveying the richness of pealing bells, upon which the melody was overlaid.
The final selection was Clifton Williams' "Symphonic Dance No. 3 — Fiesta," one of five dances commissioned of Williams by the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra for its 25th anniversary in 1964. According to Williams, this dance represents, "the pageantry of Latin American celebration — street bands, bull fights, bright costumes, the colorful legacy of a proud people." Three years later, Williams rescored this selection for concert band, the idiom for which it was originally introduced to countless corps members and fans.
The first 50 seconds on the field was entirely from the "Prelude" of H. Owen Reed's classic, "La Fiesta Mexicana," a raucous impression of the ringing of church bells in a Mexican community, well suited as an introduction to the pageantry that Williams' wrote about.
"Fiesta" was largely written in a joyous 5/4 meter. Williams wrote that the melodic lines heard in Crusaders' rendition "herald the arrival of an approaching festival," ending in the 4/4 section that provided a home for a brief quote of "Conquest," long the corps' trademark. According to Williams, the dramatic 3/4 section immediately following the section extracted in the video clip was the announcement of the matador to the bullring, with the finale evoking a joyous climax to the festivities.
The end of the show was presented with a multitude of fast-paced drill evolutions that put the exclamation mark on the corps' first appearance in DCI's top 12, hinting that the Boston Crusaders planned on staying there for a long time to come.
For this week only, you can save on the Legacy Collection DVD that contains this complete Boston Crusaders performance, along with all finalists from the 1999 DCI World Championships.

Wild horses being stampeded in a BLM helicopter roundup in the Owyhee Complex, Nevada
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is accepting public comments on a proposal to remove over two-thirds of the wild horses in the Owyhee Complex, which encompasses the Little Humboldt, Little Owyhee, Owyhee, Rock Creek and Snowstorm Mountains Herd Management Areas (HMAs) in the Winnemucca (Humboldt River Field Office) and Elko (Tuscarora Field Office) Districts of the Nevada BLM this November. The more than 1 million-acre Owyhee Complex is located approximately 60 miles north of Battle Mountain, Nevada. This BLM helicopter roundup would leave only 621-999 of the approximately 2,252 wild horses that currently roam free on over 2 million acres of land within and surrounding the Complex.
Since 2009, livestock use of the public lands grazing allotment in the Owyhee Complex has increased dramatically, yet BLM proposes to reduce the harm to the range caused from overgrazing by sheep and cattle by gathering wild horses while making no effort to reduce the negative impact of livestock grazing.
Please contact the BLM and submit a comment expressing your support for wild horses in northern Nevada and opposing their capture and removal from our public lands.
Just personalize and sign the sample letter below and push the "Send Your Message" button to submit your comments today. An individual email will be sent from you to the BLM.
Thank you!
