I've been watching the food show 'Cupcake Wars' for a while now and love how they come up with so many varieties. I'd love visiting this store.
While the cupcakes are a treat for the sweettooth, the bold graphics on the walls are a treat for the eyes.
Tell Patti this was a great shot!

Happy ruby Cupcake!
The American cupcakes are by and by invading Norway too.
Any confectionery with some self respect have a cupcake display. So far I haven't fallen for them, but they do look like delicious intricately decorated sugar-bombs. I have to chose my sugar carefully or I'll just blow up like a giant balloon.
Have a tasty Ruby Tuesday!

Another Sail-World newsletter about the 2010 Rolex Sydney Hobart Race, which starts on 26th December 2010 If you don't want to receive this news, A single click here and you won't (this will not affect other news you receive from us)Rolex Sydney Hobart - Tried winning and losing, winning is betterImmediately following the 2009 Rolex Sydney to Hobart Mark Richards, the skipper of Bob Oatley's 30 metre super maxi Wild oats XI explained that they had been under done going into their fifth tilt at the line honours title, in which they were beaten by Neville Crichton's Alfa Romeo, and they would not make that mistake again.
Bob Oatley's supermaxi Wild Oats XI Andrea Francolini
The SOLAS Big Boat Challenge display yesterday on Sydney Harbour showed that Oatley's team is much better prepared this year and will start as a strong line honours favourite.
After the 2009 Hobart she made a rapid turn-around from Hobart to rush north to Sydney to make the start line for the 2010 Pittwater to Coffs Harbour race and took line honours.
Oats XI took line honours in a hard 2010 Audi Sydney Offshore Newcastle Yacht Race and the light weather 2010 Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race – finishing outside the race record by only a few hours.
In this year's Sydney to Hobart race there is a rather special group of sporting stars who share Richards conclusions that winning is better than losing.
Sailing south on Sean Langman and Anthony Bell's super maxi Investec Loyal is a group of Australian sporting royalty.
Former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden, Olympic swimmer Geoff Huegill and surfing icon Layne Beachley, boxer Danny Green and Rugby Union legends Phil Waugh and Phil Kearns, will be heading south on Loyal.
The New Zealand built Elliott 30 metre has had a chequered history but obviously has significant potential. She has been out of the water until very recently but now has new electronics and a complete new North Sails wardrobe as well as a new paint job. However she's definitely short of time on the water.
SOLAS Big Boat Challenge 2010 - LOYAL Andrea Francolini ©
You'd have to be forgiven for thinking that Langman and his core crew of top name sailors; tactician Michael Coxon, crew boss Peter 'Billy' Merrington, pitman Anthony Nossiter, mast man Will McCarthy and bow Morgan White will be aiming to get the boat to Hobart safely with that precious sporting cargo, rather than risking all to beat Oats XI.
Queenslander Grant Wharington's Wild Thing does not appear to be a line honours threat either unless conditions are very heavy. She has been de-powered and IRC optimised ready for a big boat weather wind and a potential Tattersall's Cup handicap win.
While Mark Richards believes given the right conditions, with their taller rig, larger sail area and crew depth Investec Loyal 'will be a handful', you can bet Richards, Oatley and crew have no intention of letting anyone past Oats XI on Boxing Day and in the subsequent 24-36-40 hours.
Sail-World, the largest sailing news network in the world has been preparing its on-line boat notes for the 2010 Rolex Sydney to Hobart race. It will be again covering the Hobart race in detail, with a large team of yachting journalists and photographers.

The Broncos added big-play potential to their offense Tuesday.
Demaryius Thomas returned to practice.
But there's no way the rookie receiver can play Sunday in the season opener at Jacksonville, is there?
"I think I'll be ready," Thomas said.
The first of the Broncos' two first-round draft picks (some guy named Tim was the other), Thomas has missed most of the offseason and all of the preseason with a left foot injury.
Expect the rookie receiver who has a rare blend of size (6-foot-3, 229 pounds) and downfield speed to be listed as questionable on the Broncos' injury report later in the week.
There is physically recovering from the foot injury, then there is mentally trusting the foot won't give out as Thomas is about to cut, stop, plant and take off.
"That's the hard part right there," he said.
The (hardly) secret of Tebow.
Imagine the energy jolt the Broncos will get each time quarterback Tim Tebow steps into the huddle, especially in the opener Sunday in the rookie's hometown of Jacksonville.
That's one of many reasons Tebow is expected to be the Broncos' backup quarterback to Kyle Orton this year, with veteran Brady Quinn serving as the emergency No. 3 quarterback.
Another reason is Tebow appeared to slightly outplay Quinn in the preseason.
Yet, because the opener is his only chance to do so, Broncos coach Josh McDaniels wants to create doubt among the Jacksonville coaches.
"We're not going to name one right now," McDaniels said when asked about his No. 2 quarterback.
Wear orange and blue Friday. Slim a kid. Something like that. The Broncos and 31 other NFL teams are encouraging fans to wear their team colors Friday in support of the league and United Way's goal of ending childhood obesity. Schools that sign up for the "Back to Football Friday" program, which encourages kids to participate in school and after-school activities, can win prizes. . . .
Who says McDaniels is partial to Patriots? Two days after releasing former New England defensive end Jarvis Green, the Broncos released another in Le Kevin Smith to make room for the signing of veteran defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson. . . .
Speaking of former Pats, tight end Daniel Graham returned to practice Tuesday after missing the final three preseason games with bruised ribs. Cornerback Andre Goodman also returned to practice after missing the final preseason game. . . .
Four players were missing from practice Tuesday. It figures that two of them were running backs. Recently signed Andre Brown (turf toe) and Lance Ball (attending grandmother's funeral) joined right tackle Ryan Harris (sprained left ankle) and backup safety Darcel McBath (left forearm) in the trainer's room. Rookie Zane Beadles is expected to start in Harris' place Sunday against Jacksonville.

The National Weather Service has scheduled radar upgrades at its three Nebraska offices.
The first installation will begin March 11 at the eastern Nebraska office in Valley. The Hastings office work is scheduled to begin on March 25, and the North Platte office work is expected to begin on April 8.
The upgrades are part of the weather service's goal to build a "Weather-Ready Nation" and better protect people from dangerous storms.
Weather service meteorologist Teresa Keck in North Platte says the new dual-polarization technology will help meteorologists determine precipitation types and gauge rainfall totals. She says it also will make it easier to see tornadoes at night.

Paul Ryan credits congressional candidate Goss with writing House budget
NAPLES - U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan doesn't often endorse candidates during the primary season, but for the second time in two years he's thrown his support behind a Florida Republican in advance of the primary.
Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee, earlier this year endorsed Chauncey Goss — one of six Republicans running for the U.S. House of Representatives seat being vacated by Rep. Connie Mack, R-Fort Myers. The Wisconsin Republican was in Naples on Monday to campaign for Goss, a Sanibel Island resident.
"I came down because I feel that strongly about him," Ryan said in an interview with the Daily News. "I don't know the other candidates he's running against and it really doesn't matter to me. What matters is I think this is one of the best people I can think of to run for Congress."
Ryan's support for Goss didn't just happen by chance. Goss served as deputy staff director for the House Budget Committee and worked closely with Ryan to craft the House budget. Ryan, in an interview with Daily News editorial page Editor Jeff Lytle, said Goss played an integral role in writing the House budget.
"He was literally the guy who wrote the budget," Ryan said during an interview for Lytle's show, "NewsMakers," which will air on ABC-7 on Aug. 5.
Ryan's endorsement may be Goss' golden ticket come election day. Ryan endorsed in advance of the 2010 Senate primary that was slated to pit then-Republican Gov. Charlie Crist and Marco Rubio.
Ryan backed Rubio, who went on to win the election.
Here is more of what Ryan had to say during his Naples visit Monday:
Q: Why did you decide to support Goss?
A: It was a no-brainer. When he told me he was thinking about running for Congress, I said "I sure hope you do." I've served in Congress a while, and there's two types of people in Congress: The be-ers and the do-ers. There are people who want to be a congressman, you know have some title and have whatever comes with the job. And then there are do-ers, people who believe in a cause, people who are there to do something, to advance principles. Chauncey's a do-er, and it's really clear we need more do-ers than be-ers in Congress.
Q: Gun control has been on everyone's mind. What do you think needs to be done at the federal level?
A: This is one where, kind of, Democrats and Republicans after Colorado more or less said the same thing. We don't need a lot of new laws. We need to simply enforce the ones we have on the books.
Q: Do you think there can be bipartisanship and people can work together in Washington?
A: If you look at our budget, the component parts have bipartisan origins. But the fact that it was one budget that was called House Republican budget, it becomes very partisan. But what we're hoping to achieve after this election, should we be successful in winning this election, is that we reach across the aisle and re-create that consensus to get actual bipartisanship to fix this country's problems.
Q: How important are swing states to the presidential election?
A: This is a generation defining election. It's the most important election in our generation, in our lifetimes, no matter what generation you're from. ... States like Florida and Wisconsin, Ohio and a few others, will basically determine how this country goes for a generation ... what kind of country we're going to have.
Q: Do you think you'll be on the ticket (as a vice presidential candidate) to help Republicans this election?
A: I don't comment on it. It does the (presumptive GOP nominee Mitt) Romney campaign no good to feed the speculation, so I just don't comment.

"I have enjoyed all three flavors and find them all incredible and enchantingly delectable" -Smart Girl Review
"Move over Lara Bar, you have competition! I was really skeptical of these at first with the rosemary and sage flavors. She also has coconut and cinnamon clove. All of them were delicious. These squares are wheat, gluten, dairy, and soy free. The savory and sweet flavors are perfectly combined." -Expo East
"Simple Squares are the height of confectionery simplicity. A little savory, a little sweet, these nut and honey candies have a hint of vanilla and herbs for a complex—yet simple—taste from just six pure ingredients. It's a forgiving treat too, being wheat-, gluten-, dairy and soy-free, plus it contains no refined sugar. Try all three flavors: Coconut, Rosemary and Sage." -foodspring.com

Meet the Maker!
Kimberly Crupi Dobbins is passionate about health and nutrition. She's also got an irrepressible sweet tooth. Sounds like a recipe for disaster, doesn't it? But she managed to bring her two passions together into one virtuous victual: Simple Squares.
In 2007, Dobbins undertook a 42-day trip traveling the world. During the trip, she observed dietary traditions from a variety of nations and cultures, and it reinforced her love of pursuing wellness through nutrition. So, when she returned home, she enrolled in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and became certified as a holistic health counselor.
Coincidentally, around the time she graduated, she went to see a holistic doctor for a dermatologic problem. The doctor placed her on a restrictive diet, eliminating wheat, gluten, dairy and refined sugars; only after 60 days could she begin to reintroduce those items to determine which were the culprits. The diet put her system back into balance, but left her craving the sweet stuff she loved. So she decided to create a treat that satisfied her sweet tooth but could enjoy without interrupting the healing process.
She drew inspiration from her world travels: In India, she first learned of ways of incorporating the medicinal benefits of herbs and spices in her cooking. Peru opened her eyes to simple yet powerful superfoods like quinoa, maca and coca. She found Sydney, Australia, to have a wonderfully health-conscious attitude, as expressed through macrobiotic restaurant Iku.
Working with just six base whole ingredients - nuts, honey, coconut, vanilla, sea salt and herbs — she began to experiment with flavor combinations. She wanted a sweet treat, but tempered with savory herbs for a more sophisticated flavor. Bringing home bales of herbs from the farmers' market, she played with combinations. Lavender had promise, but lacked the savoriness she craved. Sage and rosemary ended up being clear winners, but she's already on to new flavors: Cinnamon-clove is going into production shortly, and she's got a top-secret flavor in the works that she won't even tell us yet.
The squares are still a study in simplicity. The ingredients are mixed in a bowl, shaped, cut and packaged. They're not heated above 118ºF, so all the natural nutrients and enzymes are still present; they're Kosher; and they're free of gluten, dairy and refined sugars. Truly, a treat practically anyone can enjoy.

19-Hit Attack Sends Baseball Past UT-Arlington, 11-5
ARLINGTON, Texas - Five different Bluejays posted multiple hits, as Trever Adams and Carson Vitale both recorded four en route to an 11-5 victory over UT-Arlington, Wednesday evening at Clay Gould Ballpark.
Adams and Vitale both posted two doubles on the evening, as Adams recorded four RBI and Vitale scored three runs.
Alex Staehely went 3-for-3, and Scott Thornburg and T.J. Roemmich both added home runs to Creighton's season-high 19-hit attack.
Mark Winkelman threw a perfect 1.1 innings, striking out two to pick up the first win of his career.
Creighton (6-3) scored in four of the first five innings to jump out to a 9-1 lead over the Mavericks (4-8) they would not relinquish.
That early spurt was highlighted by a three-run first inning, and capped with a four-run fifth inning.
The game-opening rally started with a one-out walk issued to Elliot Soto. Adams followed with his first double of the game, a shot that fell in left-center, and scored Soto from first to give the Jays a 1-0 lead. Roemmich came up next, belting an opposite-field home run to left to put the Jays up 3-0.
Robbie Knight's sac fly and Adams's RBI-single in the second put CU up 5-0, and Staehely knocked in a run with a single in the third to make it a 6-0 advantage.
The Jays sent all nine men to the plate in the fifth to effectively put the game away. Thornburg led off the inning with his first long ball of the year on a 1-2 pitch. After a pitching change and a Dike groundout, Vitale walked and Staehely singled. Knight then drove in his second run of the game with a single to right. Adams then capped the inning with his second RBI-double of the game, scoring Knight and Staehely.
Soto posted an RBI single in the eighth to cap the Bluejay scoring. The Maverick offense briefly came to life with a three-run ninth, but Bobby Lackovic came on to shut the door, retiring three of the four hitters he faced.
Sam Hansen suffered the loss for UTA, lasting just 2.0 innings and allowing five earned runs on six hits.
Creighton will be back in action on Friday in Minneapolis at the Metrodome Tournament. The Jays will play South Dakota State on Friday to open the tourney. Saturday's opponent will be Minnesota, followed by a get-away day match-up with Harvard on Sunday.
NOTES: Knight extended his consecutive starts mark to 104 and games played streak in at 151 ... The senior also posted his 12th straight game (51 of last 52 games) ... The Jays moved to 10-16 in games played in Texas under head coach Ed Servais ... The Jays moved ahead in the all-time series with UTA, with a 3-2 mark ... Staehely's RBI in the third was the first of his young career. It was also his first career multi-hit game ... Vitale posted his first multi-double game ... Thornburg's home run was the sixth of his career and tied him for second among active Jays despite being a sophomore. He is behind Roemmich with 14 and tied with Knight ... The game marked the fourth time this season the Jays have had double-digit runs and hits ... Gage Daniels made his first appearance as a Bluejay in the ninth inning.

Congrats to @b_fields2 on signing with @Saints! Knew you wouldn't be out too long, especially w/ 67% net field coverage in pre-season.
— Ian Greengross (@iangreengross) October 6, 2015
Congrats to @b_fields2 on signing with @Saints! Knew you wouldn't be out too long, especially w/ 67% net field coverage in pre-season.
Wins are hard to come by in the NFL, and it looked like another W was going to slip through the Saints' fingers on Sunday Night Football. The 4th quarter against the Dallas Cowboys had more twists and turns than the team experienced in their first three games of the season combined.
New Orleans looked like they were on their way to their first win of the season with 16 seconds remaining when K Zach Hocker bounced a would-be game winner off the left upright from 30 yards out; sending the game into overtime. The Saints won the toss, ran two plays and on an 80 yard catch and run from Drew Brees to C.J Spiller, it was over and the Saints got their first win of the season.
Brees said he had an idea it could be a big play when he saw the Cowboys defense line up. "The minute they had trouble getting lined up, I tried to snap the ball as quickly as I could. I just had to keep the safety in the middle of the field, and get the ball to C.J." That he did and Spiller beat one man and it was a walk off style win for the Black and Gold.
Brees accomplished a couple of personal milestones in the win. He became the third quarterback in NFL history with 5,000 completions in his career, and on the final play of the game, Brees tossed his 400th career touchdown pass. "To put one together like we did today.. we needed that win, we've been doing things the right way, but you need validation, and that comes when you win. That win breeds confidence." The Saints needed this win in more ways than one, but most importantly for their confidence after starting 0-3.
As for the injured right shoulder Brees was working his way back from, he seemed to be more comfortable in the second half throwing the football. "It's different (in the game), you're taking hits and working more off reaction but it was all good." Brees was able to throw in practice for three consecutive days, but doing it in practice versus a game was vastly different.
Some might look at the Saints win over the Dallas Cowboys as prolonging the inevitable with a team that is talent-deficient. While that may be true, the Saints learned a few things about their team on Sunday night, Brees explained: "It's one win, it's significant in the way we did it and I think we showed a lot about our team. The win strengthened us. It's a little bit of validation for everything we've been doing." Next week the Saints travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles who are likewise 1-3, coming off a 3 point loss to the Washington Redskins.

#Saints WR Willie Snead described Drew Brees in practice "Drew looks like Drew"
Watching a regular season game from the sideline was tough for Drew Brees as the Saints lost to the Carolina Panthers, pushing their record to 0 and 3. Brees watched Luke McCown quarterback the offense while he was the mend from a bruised rotator cuff injury suffered in week two. "I thought he played great. The guy threw it to the right place every time. Luke played as good of a game as you could play. Every decision, every throw, his demeanor, his leadership... everything was spot on," Brees explained after the game.
McCown completed 31 of 38 passes for 310 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. The interception that he threw late in the ball game was just a great play by CB Josh Norman. Brees said "I was playing the game right beside him, I've never been in this position before. I was trying to be right next to him in the huddle." Brees had the headset on, listening to all the plays going into Luke McCown's helmet during the game, taking mental reps and even clapping as if he were breaking the huddle. "There is a lot of things I observed, pretty interesting. Things you don't normally get a chance to see. I came away feeling really proud of our team, I thought we battled today, I thought we fought. Guys laid it out there. Unfortunately the result wasn't a win, but I think it shows what we're going to be able to accomplish in the future," he explained.

Seahouse (Sea House) is a restaurant at the Napili Kai condos, about 15 minutes north of Kaanapali Beach. Phone 808-669-1500.
The view at Seahouse is gorgeous. It looks out onto Napili Bay, which is beautiful at breakfast, lunch or dinner. The best views are at sunset, so I suggest you arrive when they open for dinner at 5:30 and ask for a table by the large open-air windows.
When I last had dinner at Seahouse in 2007, I found the fish entree and the sushi appetizer to be bland and lacking flavor, and I had the same experience with tasteless crabcake and onion rings at lunch in 2009. I haven't tried breakfast here, but the book Top Maui Restaurants recommends Seahouse for breakfast only.

Science Fiction grandmaster Samuel R. Delaney interviewed by SF Signal, with a very long answer in part 2, and by The New Yorker where he talks about race, recent Hugo controversies being nothing new, and the past and future of science fiction.

I'm Not Ready
"Readiness has also become the slogan of the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Rather than a galvanizing declaration of devotion, the slogan is a queasy-making line in the sand. When the legitimacy of the system the president presides over is in question, as racial oppression, capitalism, and police brutality are discussed on a global scale, choosing a president isn't a royal crowning. The conflation of being "Ready for Hillary" with feminist allegiance brings the worst problems of political fandom, racism, and poor civic awareness to the forefront. Secretary Clinton is portrayed as a fulfillment of a progressive checklist or schedule rather than an individual candidate."
The Shape of Inequality
Self-Inflicted Wounds
Several recent developments reveal how political and institutional fragmentation in the United States has produced self-inflicted wounds for the U.S. abroad. In all of these instances, America's ability to exercise economic power in the world has been deliberately curtailed through decisions made unilaterally in Washington by American political leaders.
Who is dying and why?
"It is the strangest of bureaucratic rituals," write two New York Times reporters. "Every week or so, more than 100 members of the government's sprawling national security apparatus gather, by secure video teleconference, to pore over terrorist suspects' biographies and recommend to the president who should be the next to die." In Washington, this weekly meeting has been labeled "Terror Tuesday." Once established, the list of nominees is sent to the White House, where the president orally gives his approval to each name. With the "kill list" validated, the drones do the rest. [more inside]
Kanye West vs. white mediocrity
Kanye takes more heat than anyone. Post-Grammys and "SNL" 40, we're finally seeing his critics for what they are. Social media has changed the game a lot in the past six years. There's a lot of voices–lumped under names like "Black Twitter"–who have begun to consistently speak out to fill in the missing pieces from stories like the Kanye West Saga, to poke holes in pat narratives like "Kanye West is an egotist" or "Kanye West is a maniac."

The Color Line Murders
The Equal Justice Initiative has released a report (pdf) on the history of lynchings in the United States, the result of five years of research. The authors compiled an inventory of 3,959 victims of "racial terror lynchings" in 12 Southern states from 1877 to 1950 -- documenting more than 700 additional victims, which places the number of murders more than 20 percent higher than previously reported. "The process is intended... to force people to reckon with the narrative through-line of the country's vicious racial history, rather than thinking of that history in a short-range, piecemeal way."

Ebola and the Construction of Fear by Karen Sternheimer (Everyday Sociology)
"Sociologist Barry Glassner, author of The Culture of Fear: Why Americans are Afraid of the Wrong Things, explains how misguided panics are not just benign opportunities to prevent something horrible, but can divert attention and public funds away from more likely threats. He notes:[more inside]Panic-driven public spending generates over the long term a pathology akin to one found in drug addicts. The money and attention we fritter away on our compulsions, the less we have available for our real needs, which consequently grow larger (p. xvii).

"Don't shoot me"
Why Did Michael Brown Die in Ferguson? - According to the police of Fergusson, Missouri it was because he reached for an officer's weapon, necessitating that he be shot multiple times as he ran away empty handed. Eyewitness tell a different story. Whatever happened the killing has prompted demonstrations and looting. Ferguson police responded in full force, firing teargas and wooden rounds into crowds of protestors and sealing the area off from the media. In the wake of the tragedy questions of racial profiling, the paramilitarization of police and media depictions of black shooting victims have been raised. Meanwhile the shooter has not been named to preserve his safety.

About the only place this book hasn't been is in my hands, open and upright, with my eyes pointed at it. But that's about to change. Because I'm going to read this book in 20-minute bursts over the next eight hours. Why 20-minute bursts? Because that's how long it takes for a batch of my mother's Slog-famous Christmas Snowball cookies to bake. I'm going to put a tray in the oven, read, swap trays out, read some more. And I think it's fair to say that by the end of the day today—after all my Christmas cookies are baked—I will have read more of this book than Sarah Palin wrote. - Dan Savage reviews Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas.

"Stopping bad things is a significant public service."

A Plea for Caution From Russia (SLNYT) My working and personal relationship with President Obama is marked by growing trust. I appreciate this. I carefully studied his address to the nation on Tuesday. And I would rather disagree with a case he made on American exceptionalism, stating that the United States' policy is "what makes America different. It's what makes us exceptional." It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation. There are big countries and small countries, rich and poor, those with long democratic traditions and those still finding their way to democracy. Their policies differ, too. We are all different, but when we ask for the Lord's blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal.

"It's his charm. It's his gift. It's his political liability, and it's part of an American conundrum. We beg for authenticity, and then when we get it, oh man, it's hilarious. [Vice President Joe] Biden can be fantastic when he's on his game. At the 2012 Democratic National Convention, his speech got higher Nielsen ratings than either Bill Clinton's or Obama's. He killed the debate against Ryan, pumped air back into a campaign deflated after Obama's miserable first performance against Romney. Watching those performances, it's almost impossible to see him as a person once crippled by speech."

North Korea Sets April 10th Deadline
North Korea has warned foreign embassies in Pyongyang that it cannot guarantee their safety from the threat of conflict after 10 April, and has advised them to consider pulling their staff out of the capital. This follows North Korea blocking South Korean Workers from the Kaesong industrial complex - a sign that this might be more material than the usual posturing, warning that a 'moment of explosion' is nearing and moving missiles with "considerable range" to its east coast. Though the US is playing down the threat and the UK and Russia have no plans of moving their diplomats the possibility of an accident or miscalculation leading to war looms. North Korea has earned the reprobation of Russia and Fidel Castro in recent days and even longtime supporter China is beginning to lose patience with it - something some say is not before time.
On Chicago Public Schools Censoring Persepolis's Images of Torture
Suffice it to say, Persepolis is quite a work. It's a testament to the power of the graphic novel. The art's simple linework helps the story feel unpretentious and direct. Persepolis was adapted as a 2007 French animated film, written and directed by Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud. Among other honors, it was nominated for an Academy Award. Why would someone want to ban such a book?

Abortion in America
The Geography of Abortion Access - Forty years ago Tuesday, the Supreme Court ushered in legal abortion for American women when it decided in Roe v. Wade. Today, states—particularly in the South and Midwest—are eroding that right by legislating hundreds of provisions intended to impede access with burdensome obstacles. To understand more fully the complex state of access to abortion services in America, The Daily Beast identified and confirmed the location of the country's remaining 724 clinics and calculated the distance from every part of the country to its closest clinic.

¿Sí Se Puede?
The November 6th elections saw a lot of historic decisions made in the United States -- the first black president re-elected, marijuana legalized for the first time in two states, gay marriage affirmed by the voters in four, and even the first openly gay senator. But perhaps the most underreported result yesterday came from outside the country altogether: in the commonwealth of Puerto Rico, a solid majority voted to reject the island's current status and join America as the long-fabled 51st state. How the bid might fare in Congress is an open question, but both President Obama and Republican leaders have vowed support for the statehood movement if it proves successful at the ballot box (while D.C. officials ponder a two-fer gambit to grease the wheels). Though it would be the poorest state, joining the Union might bring economic benefits to both sides [PDF]. And politically, some argue the island might prove to be a reliably red state, despite the Hispanic population, although arch-conservative governor and Romney ally Luis Fortuño appears headed toward a narrow loss. But the most important question here, as always, is: how to redesign the flag? (Puerto Rican statehood discussed previously.)

A Conservative History of the United States - Jack Hitt for New Yorker's Shouts & Murmurs, pieces together America's storied history from quotes by Rick Perry, Dick Armey, Mike Huckabee, Dan Quayle and more.
"America may well be in a fateful decline. But given that the country has survived a civil war, two world wars, the Great Depression, 9/11, and the quagmires of Vietnam and Iraq, is our current crisis proportionate to the doomsday hysteria—or have we lost perspective?" Frank Rich, columnist for New York Magazine, explores the recurring phenomenon of declinist panic and our national tendency to burnish the past in "Mayberry R.I.P."
one of those days
"I was upset because the political consultants and staff were talking about voter suppression and keeping blacks from voting.

Yes, but do they have a secret plan to fight inflation?
"It's been nearly 6 years since the series finale of The West Wing, and more than 12 since the one-hour drama, which [Aaron] Sorkin created and largely wrote, first walked and talked its way through NBC's Wednesday-night lineup; and yet you might think the series never ended, given the currency it still seems to enjoy in Washington, the frequency with which it comes up in D.C. conversations and is quoted or referenced on political blogs. In part this is because the smart, nerdy—they might prefer "precocious"—kids who grew up in the early part of the last decade worshipping the cool, technocratic charm of Sorkin's characters have today matured into the young policy prodigies and press operatives who advise, brief, and excuse the behavior of the most powerful people in the country."
The Republican "brand" is collapsing
According to a report by Democracy Corps, the Republican "brand" in US politics is collapsing.
Democracy -- We Deliver
"Still, I'm willing to bet that future generations will look back on the period between 2006 and 2008 as the real turning point. Here was the moment when what remained of the American Century ran out of steam and ground to a halt. More specifically, when Bush gave up on victory in Iraq (thereby abandoning expectations of U.S. military power transforming the Greater Middle East) and when the Great Recession brought the U.S. economy to its knees (the consequences of habitual profligacy coming home to roost), Luce's formulation lost any resemblance to reality."--Andrew Bacevich on how "The American Century Is Over—Good Riddance"
The End of the Christian Right?
Historian Michael Kazin says that we are witnessing the end of the Religious Right's influence in American politics. Peter Montgomery of Alternet says not to declare the Christian Right dead quite yet.

New Mexico bill would regulate art auction houses
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A bill introduced in the New Mexico Legislature would impose government oversight of art auction houses and change the way some do business.
Sen. Tim Keller's bill would authorize the Attorney General's Office to regulate art auctions and act on consumer complaints. It also mandates certain disclosures, such as minimum prices and whether an auction house has a financial interest in artwork being sold.
"Because there's no statute, there's no basis for a complaint. Unless Login to read more

I'd be much more upset about them dropping "Come What May", which is easily the best song on the new album.
i guess jon doesnt like the new album or something. he dropped come what may, then now he isnt playing i walk alone. pretty weird imo. i walk alone was one of the highlights of the phoenix show
jon isnt the only one who doesnt like the new album.
[QUOTE=Div;196410]jon isnt the only one who doesnt like the new album.[/QUOTE]

Innovative campaign employs popular bloggers to help visitors, residents discover local hidden gems
A unique tourism campaign by the Cincinnati USA Regional Tourism Network (RTN) is hoping to give visitors to the region – as well as current residents -- an "insider's look" at the many fun opportunities that abound if you're Livin' in the "Cin."
Using a carefully selected group of established bloggers, Livin' in the "Cin" provides a guide to everything from bargain travel and family-friendly destinations, to tips on the best ways to see the area, dining spots and little-known events and attractions that not every visitor may find, but anyone can enjoy
The online, social-network initiative was spearheaded after RTN officials reviewed an economic impact study that showed that about half of visitors to the region in 2011 came to visit friends and family, according to Linda Antus, president and CEO of the RTN.
"We used this data to design the initiative and focus on local residents as proud advocates for the region when talking to their out of town friends and family," Antus said. "There's no question that people rely on social media as well as friends and family to give and get information when looking for a place to visit or a way to spend their day."
In fact, Antus said:
- 48 percent of U.S. travelers cite friends and family as a source for travel information
- 23 percent cite social media as a source
- 93 percent of travelers say online reviews and opinions influence their plans
Online influencers tell the story
Livin' in the "Cin" encourages locals to discover or become reacquainted with all there is to do in the region.
"Targeting local residents is a new audience for us. Until now, the majority of our efforts have focused on outer markets including Louisville, Columbus, Indianapolis, etc.," Antus explained.The group of Livin' in the "Cin" bloggers represents a variety of categories including: Family-Friendly; Food and Drink; and, Arts and Culture.
Antus described the bloggers as "trusted and respected in the social media world as credible sources and Cincinnati USA experts."
"And, of course, they live in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky", she noted. "It was also important to us that they were regional. Because of our location on the Ohio River, the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region provides a unique offering to locals and visitors with a variety of uniquely different experiences in both Ohio and Kentucky."
The bloggers are:
- Nedra McDaniel, Adventure Mom: adventuremomblog.com
- Courtney Phenicie and Kelly Painter, Cincy Music: cincymusic.com
- Paige E. Malott, Cincy Whimsy: cincywhimsy.com
- Ann Senefeld, Digging Cincinnati History: diggingcincinnati.com
- Shannan Boyer, Family Friendly Cincinnati: familyfriendlycincinnati.com
- Julie Niesen Gosdin: Wine Me, Dine Me: winemedinemecincinnati.com
"Social media is a great way to engage people and build a community of passionate advocates, and our contributors have done an excellent job of creating unique, entertaining and shareable content," Antus said. "Visitors appreciate and trust personalized information and first-hand experiences, and we're excited to provide that through this program.
Just getting started
Designed as a multi-year program, the first phase of Livin' in the "Cin" began in June with a focus on the hidden gems the region has to offer.
RTN officials plan to broaden the scope of the initiative in 2014 by including more online influencers and by collaborating with other local organizations in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg," Antus said. "Our region has so much to offer to locals and visitors. This is a very dynamic program and the more local conversation we see, the better."
Shannan Boyer, founder of Covington's Scooter Media and creator of the Family Friendly Cincinnati blog, said participating in the Livin in the 'Cin' initiative was a no-brainer.
"Helping parents discover all the reasons why this region is such a great place to raise a family is actually the mission statement of my blog," Boyer said. " I grew up in a really small town, so I didn't have the type of options you have living here. Even having lived here for 20-plus years now, I am still constantly discovering new places to go and new experiences to have with my family."
Boyer added that, in the course of her involvement in the campaign, she, too, is learning more about the region's offerings.
"Even as someone who writes about things to do, I was really surprised at how many new things I discovered," she said. "From a post about lawn bowling and a post about all of the historical tours you can find, to even the post I wrote about food trucks -- where I discovered that we have more than 30 of them around town.
Next page: "Watch out, Portland!"%page_break%
Boyer said the response has been great.
"People are looking for new things to do, new places to visit. It can be really easy to fall into a rut, but you don't have to. There are so many great things you can do for fun here, and I think that is why this campaign is so great."
"Watch out, Portland!"
Courtney Phenicie, editor-in-chief of CincyMusic.com and another member of the Livin' in the "Cin" stable of experts, echoed Boyer's statements about the initiative being mutually beneficial.
"I loved the idea of becoming a tourist in my own city," she said, adding that the feedback she has received hasn't just been limited to area residents. "We have heard from non-locals that have discovered CincyMusic.com through the initiative and decided to take a road trip here for a concert!
"I have heard from a number of locals that had no idea that Neon's served food or that The Southgate House Revival was a venue with such diversity, for example," Phenicie said. "I believe that everyone gets into a daily rut at times and it just takes a few people talking about a great new place or experience to shake them out of it."
Like Boyer, Phenicie said her involvement in Livin' in the "Cin" has given her a new appreciation for the city she calls home.
"I have learned that people are really excited to visit new places and have different experiences," she said. "It's encouraging to me that people are just as excited as myself about Cincinnati. I really think Cincinnati is becoming a "thing." Watch out Portland!"
