In honor of Presidents' Day, we're resurrecting one of our favorite hard-hitting Papermag.com pieces of all time, originally published in 2011...Enjoy!
Happy Presidents' Day! We hope you're enjoying your day off while we slave away at PAPER HQ, muttering and crying. Just kidding, we're not working -- we're putting our journalism degrees to great use and making top 10 lists of the hottest U.S. presidents. Check out our picks below and tell us who we left off!
Thomas Jefferson
They say the third time's a charm and our third president looks like he was all kinds of charming. (He also apparently had pretty good style.) Like us, he loved hanging out in Williamsburg (Virginia), hated public speaking and had terrible posture. Swoon.
Andrew Jackson
Handsome here is the founder of the Democratic party and was a total bad boy, fighting in 13 duels and being the first sitting president to be both attacked by a random crazy person and have an an assassination attempt carried out against him. Being president is sexy and dangerous!
James Polk
"Personally, I've always been into Polk." -- PAPER's Whitney Spaner
Franklin Pierce
He looks like he could be in the Arcade Fire.
Abraham Lincoln
Bearded, lanky and depressed. Yes, yes and yes.
John F. Kennedy
YES. ALSO YES. Is JFK Hamming it in those khakis?
Ronald Reagan
"Republicans make the best bottoms." -- PAPER's Mickey Boardman
Bill Clinton
Other than the time we met Bill Clinton, shook his hand, and then, before we knew it, were trying to shove our tongues down his throat as the secret service rushed in and tackled us, we really don't get his appeal.
Barack Obama
Hugging adorable children and doing this. Come on, Barack, are you trying to make our hearts explode?
Non-presidential runner up:
Alexander Hamilton
We sort of get a Conan O'Brien vibe from Alexander Hamilton, whose not-too-shabby mug is on the $10 bill. We would totally have an XYZ affair with him and let him implement an excise tax on us any day of the week.

Medical Spotlight 3/28/11 "Single Incision Hysterectomy"
Published March 28th, 2011
Loading Video...
Its no contest. If you are about to undergo surgery, most people would choose an incision that measures one inch over ten inches. That is the upgrade now offered to women who have to have a hysterectomy. In the Medical Spotlight, Anthony Agrios, M.D., an OB/GYN at All About Women and working out of North Florida Regional Medical Center, explains to TV 20's David Snyder how surgeons can perform a hysterectomy with a single, small incision.

Happy Birthday to Seal, who turns 40.
Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel, known as Seal, was born on Feb. 19, 1963 in England. He is an R&B song writer and singer and has won numerous musical awards.
Before Seal became famous, he had an uptight life and doubted himself in singing. This changed after meeting the producer Adamski, who gave Seal the lyrics of the song "Killer," which reached number one in the UK in 1990.
Seal signed contracts with ZTT records and released his debut album, Seal. Among the songs, "Crazy" became an international hit, reaching number two in the UK Singles Chart and number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US in 1991.
Seal's second self-titled album, Seal II in 1994 is also a success and received a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year. The song "Kiss From A Rose" became famous when it was chosen in the soundtrack to the movie Batman Forever. The song became Seal's best single in the US and won a Grammy Award for Record of the Year and Song of the Year in 1996.
Later Seal continued to produce high-quality albums, including System, Soul and Hits.
Seal had a 7-year marriage with German supermodel Heidi Klum and they have four kids in total. But the marriage ended in 2012.

Mom Who Gives 8-Year-Old Botox: It's a Hoax
Unsurprisingly, the Botox Mom Story Is a Hoax
After the GMA interview, Upton's daughter was taken away by Child Protective Services, which is when she decided that she had to come clean. In an attempt to regain custody of her daughter, Upton took the child to UCLA Medical Center on May 17, where she says that "after my daughter received a full medical exam, the results indicated that she has not ever received treatments including Botox or other such injections . . . The truth is I have never given my daughter Botox, nor allowed her to get any type of waxing, nor is she a beauty pageant contestant."
While a part of me is relieved that Upton wasn't actually Botoxing or waxing her child, taking her on television and having her lie about the procedures still suggests that the entire family needs help. The fact that the story rang true to so many people is also disturbing. It says something about the national zeitgeist and the state of our ideas about beauty and young girls that this seemed so real. And I'm sure there are girls, albeit a little older than 8, who really are Botoxing and waxing their way through junior high.
But this story also calls the role of media into question. Every time you see an article on celebrity plastic surgery, or an interview with someone purporting to have any kind of sensational story, just remember this debacle. People get paid for their "stories" all the time, photos are often doctored (and definitely often Photoshopped), and the truth isn't always readily apparent. When a respected show like GMA gets taken in, there should be a big red flag for viewers about the veracity of such stories in general.

But as usual, I digress. I'm sure I had a point when I started out...oh yeah, cooking from scratch. First, it does require some planning. If I don't have anything planned out, or at least some general idea of what I want to fix, then it's hard to do much 'homemade'. However, with a little planning, and a little internet searching, and some trial and error along the way, you will find that you can prepare healthier, tastier, dishes from fresh ingredients without relying on a box or mix or frozen entree. Or take out. For example, I have bought spaghetti sauce in a jar for years. I always assumed trying to make a homemade spaghetti sauce was way to much trouble when you could open a jar and be done with it. However, my husband has never been a big fan of jarred sauce. I've experimented with different sauces, trying to find the "right" one. He likes a nice thick sauce, (without a lot of chunks of tomato/peppers). People are picky like that. Some like a thin sauce, some like thick, some like sweet, some spicy, blah, blah, blah. Therefore, you may not like this sauce, but we thought it was good. I call it 'semi-homemade'...oh, well, maybe not - seems like that catchy little phrase is taken (and probably copyrighted). So, we can say it's.... 'sort of homemade'. Obviously, you can sub the store-bought canned tomatoes for fresh, or if you have tomatoes put up from last summer. (if so, I'm jealous)
*We like a meat sauce, so I started out with a pound of lean ground beef, cooked and drained.
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
32 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 of small onion, diced
- 1 grated carrot
- 1 tablespoon white sugar *I used one packet of stevia
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes *omitted and added to my plate
- In a large skillet cook the onion and carrot in a little olive oil until it starts to soften (abt 3 minutes?), add garlic and cook for a minute. The stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, garlic, sugar, vinegar, oregano and
red pepper flakescooked ground beef. Stir all together and simmer over low heat for at least 30 minutes (for the best flavor). Stir frequently to prevent burning.
This made a nice thick sauce that had much more flavor than the Heart Healthy Light No Sugar Added sauce I have been using! It really needed the addition of green pepper....somehow I forgot those, and I had some in the freezer! I grated my carrot really fine, and made sure I mashed up the chunks of tomato for my hubs and middle child (my oldest will not eat sauce). Carrot adds a sweetness to the sauce, so keep that in mind if you add sugar. (Carrot also adds some fiber and beta carotene!)
Bottom line, this is an easy sauce to prepare, even on a week night. Play with it, make it your own, and you will feel good about feeding it to your family.
Of course, I should not mention that I had Wendy's for dinner. But hey, it's Friday. I don't cook much on Fridays :) (I actually did cook the kids' dinner - fresh fruit and corn and baked chicken nuggets- but they ate earlier in the evening. Hubs and I ate fast food and ate late. What a terrible combination!) I definitely better hit the spin class in the morning. We'll see - it starts at 8:15!
hmmm, what's that expression...'do as I say, not as I do?!'
I'm a day late, but I'm linking this up with Think Tank Momma's Share a Spoon! Thursday's theme was ground beef!

Lost: Dead is Dead
(S05E12) "Well... John, we don't even have a word for it. But I believe you call it 'the monster'" - Ben
Wow, I'm not quite sure where to begin. This wasn't one of the best episodes of Lost (for lack of a better term, it was safe), but I walked away from it feeling enlightened. It's not often that Lost leaves you with more answers than questions.
That being said, I still have a ton of f%#k&$g questions.
For the most part, Ben's flashbacks played out exactly as we expected. When he kidnapped Alex as a baby from Rousseau, that was it - he kidnapped a baby. Nothing special. It's worth mentioning that at that point, it was still 1988 (possibly 1989), which means The Purge was still three or four years off (1992). Ben had already recruited young Ethan to help him at this point though. Makes you wonder if something happens to Ethan and he gets thrown into the Temple too? If not, why was he so willing to help Ben and more importantly, why were Widmore and Richard OK with Ethan helping Ben?
The other big question answered via flashback was the result of Ben's day at the pier. Did he in fact make good on his promise to Charles to kill Penny? As we all expected, no. He floundered with his gun and Desmond ended up kicking the crap out of Ben. Why he hesitated is the key - before he put a bullet in Penny, young Charlie Hume (or is it Widmore?) wandered up onto the ship's deck. Turns out Ben really does have a heart. Can't kill a mother with her son watching.
The issue with Ben having a heart is essential to the episode. We saw younger versions of Widmore for the first time since "Jughead" and it became clear that his tenure as the leader of the Others was characterized by a "my way or the highway" mentality. He frequently questioned Richard and Charles didn't like it when people disobeyed them - like when Ben was supposed to kill Danielle and Alex and instead he let them both live and took the baby.
I think Widmore's words haunted Ben at this point. Ben claimed that Charles wanted the baby dead, not the island. Widmore simply questioned Ben if he was sure. I'm not saying that the island didn't already have a god-like like aura surrounding it, but this certainly added to it. Think of religious beliefs at their base level, sort of like game theory - believe in God or don't. With the possibility of God existing, it's in your best interest to cultivate a belief. If he doesn't exist, no harm done. But if he does, you'll be better off. Apply that to the island and despite the fact that Ben really had grown to love Alex as his own daughter, I think Ben had been questioning his decision to leave Alex alive right up until Keamy put a bullet in her head.
One of the big things to take away from all this is how Ben and Charles mirrors Locke and Ben. When we saw Ben fully take power (1992? 1993? They were in the barracks, so it was post-Purge.) and send Charles home via submarine, he said Charles broke the rules. He left the island frequently and fathered Penny with an outsider years ago. Widmore continued to claim he always had the island's best interest in mind. Ben went all holier-than-thou on Widmore and said he'd never make the same mistakes. Years later, look at him. Ben is just as bad, if not worse than Widmore, and Locke is the new Ben, endlessly questioning the man he'll replace.
In 2007, when Ben finally made it to The Temple (he seemed genuinely scared) to be judged, he survived the experience. The only memories that Smokey threw at Ben were of Alex. But Ben lived, suggesting that the island did actually want Alex dead. The one thing Ben hasn't atoned for though? Refusing the give up the crown. Smokey took the form of Alex and made it clear that Ben now answers to Locke. So the question is how readily will Ben do that? Or is he willing to continue pushing it and do what Alex/Smokey already knew Ben was going to do - try and kill John ... again?
More thoughts...
- I was so angry when Lapidus left Sun, Ben, and Locke to head back to the other Ajira survivors on Hydra island. It felt like he was being set aside since he didn't fit into the plan. Then he got back! What the hell happened?!? Illana and the other survivors seemed possessed, just like Lacombe, Brennan, and Robert were after their trip inside the Temple. All of a sudden they have a plan. Or is this just a direct response to finding Caesar's (guess he wasn't as important as we all thought) body and all they know is that Frank has been gone a while? What was with "what lies in the shadow of the statue" though? That sounded awfully "I'm possessed"-ish.
- Assuming that Hawking knew that both Ben and Charles had broken the rules, why was she willing to help Ben and not Charles? And speaking of Hawking, when/how/why did she leave the island?
- If "everything that happened, happened" then why doesn't Ben remember any of the 815'ers being in DHARMA in 1977? We know he forgot about Sayid shooting him thanks to the Temple, but why wouldn't he remember the others? The guy is a master bullshitter, but he seemed genuinely taken back when Sun showed him the picture.
- Eko's death makes a lot more sense now.
- Ben's "dead is dead" line came across as being very serious. So is Locke not really alive? Is he more like whatever Christian Shepherd is now? This would explain how John suddenly just knows stuff, like how Smokey lives in the Temple.
Speaking of Smokey, at least we know what it is now - flush the cave toilet and your reward is a visit from the floating smoke turd. OK, not really, but what was up with that summoning process? Anyway, next week we're getting some background on Miles - info that presumably was meant to be included in season four had the writer's strike not happened. Here's the official description:
"Some Like It Hoth" - Suspicions about a possible breach intensify after Ben is taken from the infirmary, and a reluctant Miles is forced to work with Hurley when he's asked to deliver an important package to a top Dharma official, on "Lost," WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15 (9:00-10:02 p.m., ET) on ABC.

Beloit, WI -- Looking to snap a five-game losing streak, the Beloit College Men's Basketball got plenty of production in Saturday's 75-72 win over Illinois College in Flood Arena.
No one provided more than Derek Carrier, who scored a career-high 25 points to lead the way. David Bremner added 18 points and Michael Horton 12 with seven rebounds and five assists.
Neither team could grab control early on in the opening half until Beloit closed the half on a 17-7 run to lead 42-31 at the break. Carrier had 13 and Bremner 11 in the opening 20 minutes.
The Buccaneers built their lead as high as 18 at 53-35 just over three minutes into the second half before the Blueboys started chipping away.
Over a ten-minute span, IC out-scored the Bucs 34-14 to take a 69-67 lead with 5:09 left in regulation.
Illinois College still led 70-69 with 2:50 remaining but Beloit kept calm and regained a lead they wouldn't let go of at the 1:24 mark on a Carrier layup. Carrier hit another layin at 43 seconds to put the Bucs up by three.
After IC cut it back to one with 36 seconds remaining they had a chance to grab the lead but missed a pair of free throws. Travis Towns then iced it with two free throws with eight seconds left.
The Blueboys missed a three-pointer at the buzzer that would have forced overtime.
The Buccaneers have a week to savor their win before hitting the road next weekend, playing at Monmouth College next Friday night and at Lake Forest on Saturday. Tipoff Friday is at 7:00 p.m.

Check out this newly leaked Britney song "Pleasure You" which was recorded in 2010. It was in contention to be included on her last studio album, "Femme Fatale". Unfortunately, the leaked version also includes vocals from another singer.
One thought on "New Britney Song Leaks: "Pleasure You""
I don't like it.
She sounds really good on it but the song is not good. And that other guy ruins it even more.

Most entrepreneurs and self employed people are so busy it becomes difficult to stand back and gain perspective on your business. But you might find that if you can spare the time to take the opportunity to stand back and spend some time planning and thinking that the decisions that you make will save you time and money and will lead to a more profitable business.
Thanks to changes in rules in recent years by the Government instead of being self employed you might find it very well worth your while to form a limited company and save yourself paying more tax than you need. Here we weigh up the advantages and disadvantages.
Convert your business to a Limited Company
If you're a sole trader or partnership, there's no better time to convert your business to a limited company. Here are six reasons why:
1. The principal benefit of trading as a limited company has always been the limited liability bestowed upon the company's officers and shareholders. As a sole trader or other non-limited business, personal assets are at risk in the event of failure of the business, but this is not the case for a limited company. As long as ths business is operated legally and within the terms of the Companies Act, directors' or shareholders' personal assets are not at risk in the event of a winding up or receivership. And as often happens on occasion, such events are not always under our own control.
2. The first £10,000 of a limited company's profits are tax free. This is not the case for sole traders and partnerships.
3. Company profits may be distributed as dividends to shareholders. Presently, National Insurance is not applicable to dividend payments, effectively reducing your tax liability still further.
4. Operating as a limited company often gives suppliers and customers a sense of confidence in a business. Quite often, larger organisations in particular will prefer not to deal with non-limited businesses.
5. The costs associated with managing and operating a limited company are not significantly greater than with non-limited businesses. Accountants and other professional advisers may have conflicting views on when they consider the benefits of being limited to outweigh the advantages of being self-employed. In general terms - at least from the perspective of taxation and accountancy - changes to legislation over the last few years have meant much lower costs associated with limited companies.
6. There is no obligation for a limited company to commence trading within any set time period after its incorporation. This means that the formation of a limited company is one simple and low cost method to protect a business name. Whilst this does not in itself give any rights to use of the business name, many clients form companies in anticipation of future development of new businesses or in order to protect the limited company name of an existing non-limited business for the future. No two limited companies can exist with exactly the same name.
See our notes on which is best for a comparative guide to the various types of corporate entities that can be incorporated.

In the Summer 2011 issue of Interweave Crochet, we pay
homage to the dainty doily. Dora Ohrenstein explores the history of these
mathematical wonders rendered in threads. And our designers interpret the doily
in designs for the 21st century. You'll find not only domestic doilies in such
innovative shapes as the lace bowls at left (Azalea Bowls, Linda Permann), but
also garments that incorporate doily shapes.
Here's a closer look at some of the projects in this issue.
Motifs go back to back in Sharon Ballsmith's
reversible Banjo Bag. Cables gracefully shape Lisa Naskrent's Early Girl Dress.
A thread doily punctuates Kim Guzman's Tunisian crochet vest.
Super cute Owlivia by Brenda K. B. Anderson
is even cuter worked in thread. An architectural neckline frames a subtle lace
in Robyn Chachula's cover garment, the Grove Park Tank. Ripples of lace form
the River Walk Wrap by Sharon Falkner.
And there's so much more. Meet Ukrainian
designer Antonina Kuznetsova, who reinterprets Irish crochet, and take a look
at the Ukrainian crochet magazine Duplet,
stuffed end to end with amazing lace crochet projects. Learn how to create felt
and polymer clay grips to make those tiny steel hooks more manageable. Wrap up
the Chain Reaction Afghan Project with a chain border. Pluck your favorites
from among the 23 fresh designs in this issue.
Check out all the projects in this issue. And to enjoy fresh crochet year round, subscribe today.
I absolutely love the articles in this issue. I haven't had a chance to try any of the patterns in their new format, but I "ate up" each and every one of the Features -- especially the pieces on Clones lace and Antonina Kuznetsova! Please, please keep including these wonderful bits of history and contemporary artisans!
Many years ago my grandmother taught me to crochet with a size 10 hook and a ball of size 30 ecru thread. That's how "ladies" learned. I don't know about that but I know 40 years later this lady still loves to make doilies and all things lace. Any time this art form is given its due is a good time to me. There is always room for more beauty in the world,and the history should be passed on and kept alive.

Working with a plate, rollers, inks mixed to perfection and a printing press, your piece will be spectacularly rich. Inks are true to color, fonts are crisp and art can be reproduced on a number of stocks from very heavy to ultra thin, smooth or textured.
As printers we really appreciate the craft of offset and there will always be certain projects that we would strongly recommend an offset press with a skilled pressman to do the job.

Materials for Teachers!
Submitted by Dena on
Hi teachers! Did you know that we have a dedicated collection at the Main UAPL library just for you? It is called Educator Resources, and it is located in the Youth department near the juvenile non-fiction. The materials in this collection are useful for anyone dedicating their time to teaching children: traditional teachers, homeschoolers, preschool leaders, librarians, and parents. Here are three examples of what you can find here:
The New Social Story Book by Carol Gray (372.6 Ne). This is an amazing, yet simple book with 13 chapters of "Social Stories" that can be copied and turned into swatches.

At least the caller claims he's from MSNBC. We report, you decide. Anyhow, enjoy this appetizer and then get ready for the infamous, deplorable one on tonight's Hour of Spin. Do your recapping right here. Comments are open!
I really think Olbermann and Robinson are really peverts. they giggle like 12 year olds talking about sex. I noticed when keith talks about sex he starts to talk in a really quick pace..like he is getting more and more excited! He is breathless..ok you all get the idea.
I 'm still waiting for the "Its just Sex" t-shirts! with Olbermann big old face on it..
Does someone have the ratings for Monday? I'm curious to see how bad Olby gets beat by Fox without BOR.
The Monday ratings didn't come out yet. If they did, I'm sure J$ would link to it at his site.
How did Keith cover Al Franken's win tonight? Was he celebratory? Did he gloat? Did he kick the other party while they're down?
Oh ya Mike C, he had on Jonathan Alter, I'm sorry but does this guy not have a wife or gf or mom or daughter, I say Nah..because they would never let him go on national tv with the mess on top of his head. He always looks like he just rolled out of bed. I did dfindi t ironic that libs are prasing a court for actually being the deciding vote in an election dispute, in which the validity of the elction was in question? Hmmmm..Bush V Gore come to mind? I do think it would be better to go back to election night results and that person should be the winner.
I only tuned in a bit for Keefy to boast about himself and how his "illustrious" career started right before he began doing Oddball, and then boasting about himself during Oddball. *puke*
Keith used some strong language (of course, Keith is still wrong) about Obama on the subject of don't ask don't tell and the defense of marriage act. Keith said, "He (Obama) is god dam wrong about this". I would commend Keith for his public opposition with Obama if he was on the right side of the issue, but alas, Keith, the deplorable immoral one is out of step with America.
He's about where Franken is, isn't he?
Anyone really think KO give two shits about Gay rights?
Olby has to disagree with Obama about something to make the argument he is not about left or right, just right and wrong. So he picks the most inconsequential topic that nobody cares about instead of the real issues such as national security, the deficit, government spending, taxes, the climate bill, health care, North Korea, Iran, Iraq or Afghanistan. Or he could report on and disagree with the many Obama flip flops such as FISA, campaign finance, immigration, the handgun ban or the decriminalization of marijuana.
He can't do this because he would be ostracized by the elitist left of Manhattan and the Kos kids.
The Kos recap (via the Olbermann Flood) made it sound like Keith brought up his Olbession when revelling in Franken's win. Did he?
get this Huff and Puff Post just posted an article about raiting for 2q. Fox is #1 -10 ! ROFL! KO is #11 As a total MSNBC was #30 cable station. FNC was #3! keep on bragging about #30 MSNBC!
the HuffPufers are saying who care blah blah..ya and if KO was higher in th e rating they would be proclaming he end of fnc! Heck they already do that ever day!
OLBERMANN: Sixty votes, filibuster-proof, super-majority. It sounds wonderful. It sounds dreamy. I would use the word "dreamy" to describe this.
Dreamy? Are you farkin' kidding me? And he still wants people to believe he is neutral? Not biased? What an idiot.
And as an aside, i went to his baseball blog and he is as accurate in his "reporting" there as he is on MSDNC: "He appears last night in the 9th inning, Cubs down 3-0 to Colorado." The Cubs played Pittsburgh last night. Is there anything this idiot can get right?
This caller is the perfect example of the typical liberal opinion; no logic, purely narrative...
Fox News is a dishonest, propagandist channel...
George W. Bush was stupid...
The war in Iraq was based on false premise from the Bush Administration in order to hook up his friends in big oil...
I could go on for days...
Ask the for examples, as John did, you get no examples, no details. Ask them for proof or factual support, these are words liberals have not heard of. Ask them for logic, and thus you receive the universal, liberal narrative.
Olbermann is another perfect example. The liberal stories hit the internet early each morning, he reads, selects related subject material, and hosts an hour's worth of television that nobody watches...
Keep checking out the KOS, they are grilling him over there...
Instead of admitting defeat in the cable news, the Kos kids explain why Fox News dominates the ratings:
"Fox News still has a healthy lead on the rest of cable news land, as it's remains the go-to hub for wingnutia. But MSNBC's more explicitly liberal lineup is still in its relative infacy, with Rachel Maddow's show is just 10 months old, and the Ed Show is just three months old. Fox News boasts a lineup with over a decade of audience-building under its belt: 13 years for the O'Reilly Factor (since Fox launched), 13 years for Sean Hannity, 13 years for Shepard Smith, and seven years for On the Record with Greta Van Susteren. All of those shows have been around longer than Olbermann's Countdown, which debuted six years ago."
Then they go on to explain why Glen Beck has higher ratings:
"Fox's biggest recent breakout hit, Glenn Beck, is of course a new show, but Beck had 9 years on conservative talk radio to build an audience, and it's easier to support a new show when your solidly established lineup is heavily promoting it (just like Olbermann, on a smaller scale, was able to help Rachel Maddow get off the ground)."
Then this:
"MSNBC could really carve out a niche as the explicitly progressive network, but it remains hampered by fears of appearing too "biased". So it keeps a bunch of shitty shows, like Morning Joe."
Too biased? A network that openly rooted for Obama and had to replace two commentators during the convention because they lacked objectivity and fairness??? Not to mention the hypocrisy, lies and half truths.
You gotta love the Kos kids!!!
MSNBC had its big shot when they didn't hire Rosie Odonnell a couple years back..and that was because of who..who didn't want to give up his title as king of MSNBC!
Feast your eyes on Monday's ratings. You'll love it. At 8:00, Dreamymann finished second in total viewers and the 35-64 demo, but fourth in the 25-54 demo. He couldn't beat Monica Crowley, for crying out loud. Monica Crowley! (I was mocking Keith's shtick there.) At 10:00, third place in total, but fourth in 35-64 and 25-54. You'll also love : Keithy's 25-54 demo numbers are down big since the last quarter of 2008.
The better news is that FNC is back on top. CNN's four-day MJ bubble burst.
Okay, I messed up the second link, but you get the idea.
I love it!!! It's gotta be killing him. Might be time to take Fox News out of "quarantine" since that big idea blew up in his face.
He has, partially.

Do you ever give directions by saying, "Take a right at the Orthodox Church?" Probably not, because nobody seems to know where it is!
By the end of the year it will be easy to find because the members of St. Dimitri's Orthodox Church are planning to add an onion dome that can be clearly seen from Diamond Drive.
The church is tucked in a cul-de-sac on 39th Street and people have to drive through road construction to get to it. The outside looks like a brown house, but the inside looks and feels like a church.
When St. Dimitri's was located on 15th Street and Trinity Drive students, visiting scientists and people on their lunch break would drop by all the time.
Everyone could find it. That changed when the church was moved to the 39th Street location.
The land along Diamond Drive is the property of Los Alamos County so the church wasn't allowed to put a sign there. People have suggested erecting a steeple, which is a good idea, but not very Orthodox. A dome is more fitting.
The dome will have a traditional Slavic look instead of Byzantine. Byzantine domes are flat, placed over the center of the worship space and are found in countries with a warm climate. When Christianity spread north, to countries like Russia, they modified the shape to handle the snow load.

My wife and I are spending more time this summer camping ( yay!) , but we are struggling to find a solution to our sleeping pad dilemma. We've been using a zpacks double wide bag, which we both love, but our TAR pro light pads tend to slip apart in the night. We used to use big Agnes full length pads with pad straps but there was too much fiddle factor for us. What are some light weight option for double wide sleeping pads? We would rather avoid CCF too.Thanks,James
I've got some heavy, self-inflating pads (for camping and boating) with Velcro on the edges. About three strips 4 inches long each. It works well. Maybe you could add that to your pads with fabric cement. I used the straps for a pair of thermarests 25 years ago and the Velcro works better.
Z Packs recommends these:http://zpacks.com/materials.shtml#velcroI would love to hear more about your quilt? What temp rating and have you pushed it near its limit?
Thanks for the insight, I'll give those Velcro strips a try I think. As for the zpacks double quilt: my wife and I haven't pushed it to its lower limits yet. It's a 20 degree 6' model. My wife is 5'6" and I'm 6'1" and it works well for us. We have had it down to near freezing and we were comfortable then. I tend to sleep warm and the misses likes that when its cold ;)Thanks,James
Lots of UK family camping brands have brought out some double wide SI pads in the last few years. They're often on the heavy side but if you're looking at "car camping" with it then that's not a problem. Examples come from Vango: https://www.vango.co.uk/sleep-mats/adventure-double-/-3cm.html and Gelert: http://www.gelert.com/products/xpedition_double_mattressI was looking for an alternative to attaching mats and I struggled to find anything light without going for CCF. I believe multimat do some sort of CCF designed to be a sort of footprint of a 2 man tent as overall insulation which could work but as you said, CCF isn't preferable to most.
At least 4 manufacturers offer double wide inflatable pads:KELTY double wide Basecamp padALPS MOUNTAINEERING lightweight series DoubleOUTBOUND EQUIPMENT doublewide RestBIG AGNES Hinman double Wide------50 x 78 x 2.5 inches------R = 7.2------weight 9 lbs 1 oz.------$200 USD
Exped has a "strap" solution but with a way to keep the mats closer together :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqisAhf4rP8(easy to replicate)
"What are some light weight option for double wide sleeping pads? "I used the Thermarest Universal Couple Kit. However, I see today it has buckles. Mine does not. Mine is like a ribbon sewn in the center to form a figure 8. I have two of these. Then the each pad would go in its corresponding figure-8 loop; one at the foot end; the other at the head end. And it works great.But anyway, lately I've gotten lazy. I use a 1oz 14"x14" cupboard lining material. It is very grabby. We center our mats on that square and it holds pretty good on level ground.-Barry

After college, I hung out with him first occasionally, whenever I found myself in San Francisco, then rarely, then not at all over the past decade. I regret so acutely that long drift. What shone at the memorial service was his most excellent life centered on his much-beloved wife and 11-year-old son, with whom he did everything from Tae Kwon Do and the latest flavor of Super Mario to learning banjo and wearing coordinated, bacon-themed apparel.
If this is how it begins -- the long, slow march of loss and heartache -- it seems unconscionably cruel that it should start with Jim. He was one of the truly good ones. RIP.
This photo, posted by Brook Butterworth, captures Jim as he was when I first got to know him.
So to avoid repeating that mistake, I asked people on Facebook what else should go on the list for our festival of films from the modern ruins of New York. And the people responded. Here are their recommendations for the 1970s, sorted by category (I'll tackle the '80s in a future post):

Matt Langer wrote an interesting post yesterday questioning Digg for the way our iOS apps present stories. On Apple mobile devices, the Digg app by default frames and pre-caches the stories our editors highlight so that users can read them offline -- on the subway or an airplane, for example.
Matt's making a really important point that we take seriously.
Curatorial sites and mobile apps like Digg need to drive traffic back to publishers, along with the ad impressions and clicks that many depend on for monetization. Digg has two goals: (a) provide a terrific experience for our users, and (b) drive loads of traffic to the best publishers, big and small, so that they can keep producing more great creative work. We want The Digg Effect to be welcome, as users discover not only individual pieces of great writing, graphics, and video, but great sites, sources, publishers, and authors.
And indeed, the Digg website -- where the vast majority of our traffic happens -- does not frame or pre-cache stories, but sends readers directly to the source webpages, replete with the ad units and monetization tools the publishers have deployed. In the mobile environment, however, we got a raft of input from users to the effect that they wanted Digg to provide a good offline experience. In response to that, we implemented pre-caching and an embedded frame that presents only the target story. As Matt rightly points out, that fails to immediately drive impressions and clicks back to the publisher.
Here's the conundrum for mobile reading apps: (1) we want to support and improve publisher monetization as effectively as possible; and (2) we also want to give Digg app users a great offline experience; but (3) the vast majority of publishers do not provide portable ad formats that we can grab, attach, and render in ways that enable the publisher to capture all the impressions and clicks their ads can earn. Here's one promising approach that we've been talking with some publisher friends about: Publishers provide standardized portable ad units that we can automatically ingest and position alongside their stories; Digg and other mobile reading apps embrace those portable ad units and deliver impression data, including offline impressions.
We would love publishers to provide standardized, portable ad formats that will effectively monetize their content in mobile readers. That'd be awesome. To see if that's viable, we're going to do a round of conversations with publishers to figure out whether they've actually already got something workable (for example, the ad units that accompany mobile web versions of their content, or that some ad platforms have inserted directly into RSS outputs), or whether we should join together to build and implement something new that'd work not only for Digg, but all the other mobile reading apps out there.
It should be possible -- easy, even -- for publishers to know that their ad units are accompanying their content, and being rendered as they want, regardless of whether the reader is reading via a web browser, smartphone browser, web-based reader, online mobile app, offline mobile app, tablet reading app, Kindle, etc. That may require some rudimentary standardization of portable ad unit formats that can painlessly be created by publishers and automatically interpreted and implemented by all the various types of reading experiences.
The other piece of feedback that we hear from publishers is that they want to know who their readers are. This is a tricky technical challenge that very few publishers have the resources for, but it's a solvable problem that we've been thinking about for a while. Ted Roden and Mike Young — the guys behind the first version of News.me — proposed this to the New York Times and it looks like they're starting to roll it out now, in the form of NYT Everywhere.
In the meantime, we're going to take a close look at our iOS experience to see what adjustments might do a better job of sending as many impressions and clicks back to publishers' own sites as possible, as well as doing right by individual authors. That may require a change in defaults or more granular user options, or maybe even something more extreme. We'll keep you posted.]]>
Best fringe benefit of the excursion, besides hanging out with my awesome sister Meg, was seeing Beirut play "Santa Fe" as the sun set over Portland.
To get a sense of betaworks, check out the amazing list of companies it has invested in -- for example, Twitter, Tumblr, Airbnb, Branch, Everlane, ideeli, GroupMe, Groupon, Kickstarter, Path, Tweetdeck. Its studio companies include Digg, Bit.ly, Chartbeat, SocialFlow, and Findings, with others under construction. (I'll have more to say about what I'm actually working on in the not-too-distant future.)
Huge thanks and a fond farewell to Tumblr, David Karp, and all my former colleagues there. I'm really proud of what my teams -- international, outreach, communications, community, editorial, user support, marketing -- pulled off since I joined last year. Personal highlights: the amazing Storyboard blog, the Brazil launch, the human-friendly terms of service and policy docs, new policies on self-harm, SxSW, the fight against SOPA, and the vast global cohort of new Tumblr blogs and partners we brought onboard. I'm especially grateful to everyone who joined those teams on my watch. Tumblr's a terrific company, and an important platform for creativity, free speech, and community.]]>

Let's go to the tape.
Beyond Conventions: Technology - The Next Frontier from Ford Foundation on Vimeo.
It can be hard to recognize how fast and how deeply information technology is changing our day-to-day lives, and how profound the implications can be. Every year, thanks to Moore's Law, the speeds of our laptops and devices go up even as the cost of computing goes down. Internet bandwidth gets ever faster and cheaper, and wireless connectivity ever more ubiquitous. As a result, the cost of creating, organizing, analyzing, and distributing information has plunged dramatically over the past two decades. Today, an ordinary individual can communicate instantly with any connected person anywhere in the world; she can broadcast her ideas globally, readable by anyone with an interest.
Thanks to the ever-improving economics of computing, a company like Facebook can offer hundreds of millions of individuals the ability to tap a vast computing infrastructure optimized to publish their writings, deliver their messages, and store vast and growing oceans of multi-megapixel images — and all for free, funded by tiny incremental payments from advertisers. That's how efficient and cheap computing power has become.
To put that in context, consider this: It currently costs about $150 to buy a hard disk with a terabyte of data storage, and it sits on the corner of your desk; as recently as the early 1990s, you would have had to spend over $1.5 million to buy the same thing, and it would have taken up a full corner of your room.
Or this: The iPad 2 is roughly 1,500 times faster than the CDC 6600, NASA's fastest supercomputer in 1969. The cost of an iPad 2 is currently $499; the cost of a CDC 6600 in 1969 was roughly $58,000,000, in inflation-adjusted 2010 dollars.
Amazing, right? But here's the problem: As William Gibson puts it, "the future is already here — it's just not evenly distributed." In particular, our governments — the agencies and departments and legislatures and courts that our democratic processes have ordained to serve the public — are finding it extraordinarily difficult to understand, much less embrace, the possibilities created and imperatives imposed by the technological advances we take for granted in our private lives.
Civic Commons, the new initiative I'm pleased to be joining today, is an effort to answer that problem. We believe that governments — especially the cities, towns, and counties that are on the hook to deliver public services every day — can now take advantage of the same technologies and techniques that have generated such enormous efficiencies and enabled such impressive new services by private enterprise. In a digitally interconnected world, cities don't have to operate in isolation. They don't have to reinvent (or re-procure) the wheel every time they face a problem that technology could help address. Cities can pool their resources — their talents and ever-shrinking budgets — to build shared technologies. Just as open standards (e.g., the Internet protocols), shared infrastructures (e.g., cloud computing), and collaborative software (e.g., open source projects like Linux, Mozilla Firefox, and Apache Hadoop) have powered astonishing advances in personal and enterprise computing, it is now time for governments to put them to work for the public good.
We believe that governments can now build and deploy shared technologies — open standards, common infrastructures, collaborative projects, and open source software, together with proprietary systems — to improve public service delivery, transparency, accountability, public participation, and management effectiveness, all while spending less.
In sum, Civic Commons is built around two central convictions: first, that wave after wave of innovation is delivering amazing new capabilities to the people and organizations that can take advantage of them, and second, that, with a little help, governments can absolutely understand and seize the opportunities created by the rapid evolution of information technology.
So how are we going to do it? Civic Commons will operate as a neutral and expert non-profit that (a) helps cities and other governments understand the possibilities and pitfalls around shared technologies, (b) provides technical assistance, (c) facilitates the creation and management of collaborative technology projects, (d) connects interested cities with peers, collaborators, experts, vendors, and other supporters, and (e) creates high-quality information — such as guides, checklists, how-to's, and a comprehensive catalog of civic technology — that is as comprehensible and useful to mayors, city managers, and citizens as it is to software engineers.
We've already got a great set of projects underway (for example, Open311), an active and engaged set of city and other government collaborators (NYC, San Francisco, Washington, Seattle, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, just to name some big ones), a growing community of motivated, civic-minded technologists, and a set of plans to broaden participation, especially by smaller cities and towns and those outside the U.S.
We also have a fantastic set of launch partners, including our major launch funder, the Omidyar Network; our incubator organizations, Code for America and OpenPlans; and our stalwart supporter, O'Reilly Media. (Huge thanks for their extraordinary contributions.)
Whether you are a mayor, a city CIO, a budding technologist, an open source veteran, a civic activist, an entrepreneur, or just an interested citizen, we hope that you will get inspired and get involved in Civic Commons. Check out our projects, contribute to our wiki, join our mailing lists, orcontact us directly.
Together, we can tap everyday technological innovation to make government work better and cost less.

This is part 2 of a 3 part series involving recent government actions which appear to represent a move by our government towards more transparency and accountability of our government. In part one we discussed the intent of our Founders that government be transparent and accountable in anticipation of the nature of mankind. In part 1 we also discussed the decision by Minneapolis Police Chief Janeé Harteau to outsource major internal investigations to the Minnesota BCA in an attempt to restore public trust in the MPD. You can read part 1 by clicking here http://t.co/eM1OyheqVF.
In Part 2 this writer will share his thoughts on:
For your convenience, here again is a link to the Major Media's version of what transpired:
Judge: NSA phone snooping likely unconstitutional http://cnet.co/1heJfJd
In this writer's opinion, the Major Media just regurgitated a partial summary of the facts that make up this story. In a lame and uninspired manner, Major Media would have you believe that this is a simple story of a single Federal Judge (Richard Leon) ruling that certain activities of the NSA are unconstitutional. But, in so doing, they have left out so many relevant facts and hopelessly understated the significance of Judge Richard Leon's ruling, that to this writer's way of thinking, they have been duplicitous.
This writer will lay out his unique and more in depth perspective in 2 parts; 1) What should be, and; 2) What is.
But before this writer can do that, this writer will have bring most of you up to speed on significant facts and history that your government has purposely had your public schools ignore and/or gloss over.
In summary of previous articles by this writer, our American Revolution was in reality a revolt against the Governance Doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings. Pursuant to the Divine Right of Kings, the King is a God or an emissary of God here on earth. Therefore, no earthly being can question the decisions of the King. Under the Divine Right of Kings, there were no rights; there were only permissions and privileges that could be revoked by the King or his representatives at any time for any reason.
During the Enlightenment (circa 1650AD-1800AD) their was a scientific, intellectual and culture revolution of thought. Average persons came to question the authority of the King and the Church. Using their own observations and reasoning, individuals began determining truth for themselves. During this time, Men of Letters such as John Locke, developed a body of thought that came to be known as Natural Law. Amongst other things, Natural Law prescribed that all men had certain unalienable Natural Law Rights. (In fact, Natural Law was so well known and understood at the time that the Founder's debated whether the Bill of Rights was even necessary) Locke continued this line of reasoning and developed the Governance Doctrine known as Consent of the Governed. In essence, government could only rule with the consent of the governed. And, in fact, that exact phrase appears in the American Declaration of Independence. [ If you want a little more detail you can read Natural Law: How WE THE PEOPLE got to the 4th of July,1776 2/2 http://goo.gl/If3Pxk and Proof that our country is founded on Natural Law http://t.co/rZswNupbeO] Another important concept developed and/or reestablished at this point in time was the Rule of Law. In brief, the Rule of Law provides that all men, regardless of wealth, position or social status, should be judged in the same manner pursuant to the same code of laws. With that extremely brief background, it is now possible to continue laying out the background which reveals the true magnitude of Judge Richard Leon's ruling.
Upon having secured victory in our revolution, the Founder's set about creating Foundational Documents. Their first attempt, the Articles of Confederation, ended in failure. To replace these, the Founder's drafted new and improved Founding documents. As was indicated in part 1, our Constitution was crafted with the Founder's perception of the Nature of Man in inMd. Most pointedly, the Founders believe man was "not virtuous" by nature. Therefore, our Constitution was created as an "anchor" to prevent successive non-virtuous men who would be elected to government from expanding their power to the point of tyranny. Checks, balances, transparency and accountability were part and parcel of the government structure the Founders created. More proof of this intended "anchor" effect follow.
To begin with, there is a reference to Natural Law and certain unalienable rights in the Declaration of Independence. The Unalienable Natural Law Right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures is reduced to writing in the 4th Amendment.
Then, the 10th Amendment provides for the Federal Government to only have enumerated powers; that is to say if the powers are not granted to the Federal Government by the Constitution, they are reserved to the states or the people.
The intent of the Constitution as an "anchor" is further evidenced by the Amendment Process, that requires super majorities for passage of Amendments to alter the Constitution.
And this following quote seems to just drive home the point of the Constitution's intended purpose as an "anchor" to prevent the expansion of power and the erosion of our liberties by the successive waves of non-virtuous men who would come to inhabit our Federal Government.
No one can read our Constitution without concluding that the people who wrote it wanted their government severely limited; the words "no" and "not" employed in restraint of government power occur 24 times in the first seven articles of the Constitution and 22 more times in the Bill of Rights.
Edmund A. Opitz
Until 1913, Law Schools taught Constitution Law.
And this concludes our "Whats should be" portion of part 2.
In 1913, Progressive President Woodrow Wilson took America off the "Constitution Law" System and the Case Law System replaced it. President WoodrowWilson resented the constraints of the Constitution, because he felt it was too constricting on the powers and authority of government.
Under Constitutional Law, the Constitution and Natural Law provided the parameters within cases must be decided.
With this abominable Case Law, Judges could much more quickly change the law. Judges could now cite another judges Case Law as the reason for ruling in a particular way on a particular case or matter. And suddenly, America's Rule of Law was cut free of its Constitutional Anchor. And in short order, the succession of non-virtuous men who came to inhabit our Federal Government and Courts, bastardized America's Rule of Law.
So when the special NSA, wink, wink, FISA Court ruled that NSA could do this phone snooping, they created Case Law that all future Judges could rely upon to uphold rulings circumventing the Unalienable, Natural Law Rights of each of WE THE PEOPLE. Among these being the Unalienable, Natural Law Right against unreasonable searches and seizures reduced to writing in the 4th Amendment.
And this is the momentous clash that this ruling by Judge Richard Leon represents; the Clash between Progressive Case Law that now authorizes the spying the Progressive Tyrants wanted (and believed to be a settled issue) and the Constitution, which an apparently Constitutionalist Judge Richard Leon has used to strike down these violations of Natural Law, the Constitution and the 4th Amendment to the benefit of rank and file Americans.
This writer reminds the reader again that these principled decisions in support of the rights, liberties and freedoms of WE THE PEOPLE do not come without a price. This writer again reminds the reader of the perverse meritocracy that exists in our political parties and government. Individuals advance up the ladder by demonstrating loyalty to the 1 and only 1 ruling class pretending to be 2 political parties, not to WE THE PEOPLE. Judge Richard Leon has demonstrated to the Ruling Class that they can't count on him to "go along to get along". It is likely that Judge Richard Leon's career will, at best, stagnate from this point forward.(unless WE THE PEOPLE demand his recognition and advancement) As likely is that Judge Richard Leon will suffer retribution for failing demonstrate his loyalty to the ruling class. [For more on the perverse meritocracy see: Tyranny and the 2 major political party nominating committee http://t.co/oqg0hlSCIb]
It is up to WE THE PEOPLE to embrace, support, defend, protect and reward our champions; the ruling class won't. By Judge Richard Leon's "against the ruling class grain" ruling he has demonstrated himself as being more loyal to WE THE PEOPLE than to the ruling class and/or his own personal gain. Again, this writer calls for "hats off" and a hardy handshake for this true patriot and steadfast jurist. And, this writer respectfully asks the reader to send a letter or fax to the office of Judge Richard Leon to demonstrate your support and appreciation.
The long and the short of this ruling is that Federal Judge Richard Leon has restored some of the bounds of Liberty that the Founders intended for WE THE PEOPLE. If we do not rally to this champion of the masses, how can we prevail in retaking our country and full restoring our Constitution?
And with that, this writer asks of the reader, "Who has better explained to you the significance of Judge Richard Leon's Ruling? This writer or the major media? And then, in furtherance of this writer's admonitions to think a few chess moves ahead, ask yourself "Why?"
We need all hands on deck if WE THE PEOPLE are going to take back our country and fully restore our Constitution.
Those were my thoughts.

In Closing:
Thank you, my fellow citizens, for taking your valuable time to read and reflect upon what is written here.
If what is written here rings true to you, perhaps you should contact your local elected officials and let them know. If you are afraid of repercussions, snail mail it anonymously and ask them to respond in the local paper or their own monthly/quarterly internet newsletter. Even if this article refers to something outside you geographic area, it still likely applies to your location. Remember all those taxpayer training junkets we taxpayers send the bureaucrats on? They all learn the same "livestock management" techniques to use on WE THE PEOPLE.
And that leaves WE THE PEOPLE with this conundrum: While our #Government works full time with compensation and funded with our money for the cause of #Tyranny; WE THE PEOPLE are forced to work part time without compensation for the cause of #liberty with what is left over of our time, money and energy.
Finally, this article is written with the same intentions as Thomas Paine http://ushistory.org/paine. I seek no leadership role. I seek only to help the American People find their own way using their own "Common Sense" http://amzn.to/kbRuar

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Detroit Lions arent using any of their 60 official NFL combine interviews on quarterbacks, but that doesnt mean theyre neglecting their due diligence on the position.
Agent Ray Brownell tweeted Saturday night that California (Pa.) quarterback Josh Portis met with a dozen teams at the combine, including the Lions.
The meeting, however, was casual and introductory (which teams try to achieve with as many prospects as possible), not a formal, 15-minute session.
Portis, the cousin of Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis, threw for 2,651 yards and 33 touchdowns last year, after transferring to the Division II school from Maryland and Florida.
Mayhew said Friday the Lions are happy with their quarterback situation and hes putting all my eggs in the Matthew Stafford, Shaun Hill, Drew Stanton basket. Stanton, however, could be a free agent under the next NFL collective bargaining agreement, which could open a spot behind Hill.
Portis, whos expected to be one of the fastest quarterbacks during 40-yard-dash timing today, also met with the Jets, Raiders, Dolphins, Buccaneers, Cowboys, Jaguars, Packers, Bengals, Texans, Chargers and Seahawks, according to Brownells tweet.

Star Sport
Johnson elated with Reggae Boyz debut
Jason Johnson
Audley Boyd, Sports Editor
MANCHESTER High School footballer, Jason Johnson, said he was engulfed in an unbelievable feeling, when making his international debut for Jamaica's senior team the Reggae Boyz, in their friendly international against world football powerhouse Argentina, at the Jose Marilla Minella Stadium in Mar del Plata last Wednesday night.
Argentina won the game 2-1. Ryan Johnson scored for Jamaica in the 68th minute, but Martin Palermo equalised at the 86th minute for Argentina, before Ignacio Canuto netted in the last seconds of four added minutes, to hand Argentina victory.
The Argentines are ranked eighth by FIFA and are two-time World Cup winners, while the Jamaicans are ranked 78th and have only qualified for the World Cup Finals once, back in 1998 when Johnson was a 10-year-old attending Bethany Primary School in St D'Acre, St Ann.
"I thought I was in a dream at first ... serious thing," exclaimed Jason, now 19.
"Even before the game started and I walked out on to the pitch, I felt really good."
Jason, the only schoolboy named in the 18-man squad, went on as a substitute in the 89th minute with the game tied 1-1.
"I thought I would've been nervous, but I wasn't," Jason noted of his time on the pitch. "I noticed that it (game) was no different than playing against my fellow Jamaican teammates in training."
The team's assistant coach, Bradley Stewart, noted their reason for including the teenager in the squad, and also expressed some degree of satisfaction with his contribution, though limited as he came on to the pitch at the 90th minute.
He spent most of his time chasing the Argentines, putting them under pressure to limit their time and space; and also got a couple of touches.
"We brought him to give him a taste of the international game," said Stewart. "I thought he did well. Some people, the first time they run out on to the field, they puke (choke). He did what we asked him to do, so we will continue to look at him."
Stewart added: "At one point he tried his own little thing, he tried to outfox the defender and that's a sign of confidence."
In his early playing days, football was not Jason's chosen game. It was cricket actually, where he performed as an all-rounder while captaining Bethany.
He then moved to Knox College, where he continued playing cricket until grade eight. That was when he got his first taste of football at a certain level and he has never looked back, representing the Clarendon school in the rural daCosta Cup competition twice, in 10th and 11th grades.
Jason passed six of eight CXC subjects and completed first-year sixth form at Knox, before switching to Manchester last September, where he is currently repeating the first-year sixth form syllabus.
switching schools
"Football was one of the main reasons for switching schools because my aim was to get a scholarship," he pointed out.
At Manchester, he emerged as one of the key ingredients in an outstanding season, scoring 20 goals in leading them to the daCosta Cup final against St Elizabeth Technical High School.
However, they never had the services of several key players, most of whom were out injured; and Jason was also forced out of the game with an injury and they lost 0-1.
His excellence never went unnoticed and the Jamaica Football Federation, as they launched their build-up to the 2014 World Cup Finals, called up the more outstanding schoolboys to their training camps, which are geared towards matches like the one they played in Argentina.
"We've looked at some, probably 15 schoolboys, outstanding kids who played in the recent Manning/daCosta Cup competitions," Stewart noted. "Of all of them, he's a striker; physically, he's excellent with both feet. The advantage he brings to the team is his size, he's six-foot, near 200 pounds. He can cope with the physicality of the game."
Stewart added: "I think he has done excellently. He has a great personality, he fits in well and he's a smooth kid."
Besides the game, the Manchester High student is juggling his time on and off the pitch to ensure a perfect balancing act; tackling four CAPE subjects as he aims for a smooth transition in dealing with another career, physical therapy. Already, his plans include scoring big time in a pre-physical therapy course next school year.
And if the confidence with which he speaks is testament to his spirit on the field, then given the impression he has made on the coaching staff, the next big occasion is not likely to be so surreal.
