Big Brother 10: Dan Takes The Prize!
September 16, 2008 08:09 PM by Ryan Haidet
After 71 days, 27 competitions and 11 evictions, one person was crowned the winner of Big Brother 10 tonight. But first, after weeks of holding true to their alliance, Dan and Memphis (the Renegades) made it to the final two and sat before the jury of seven who were ready to cast their ballot keys for a winner.
The six jury members were sitting around outside discussing who they thought would be the last person to join them. With speculation spanning the spectrum, moments later, Jerry, the oldest player in the game this season, arrived to no fanfare. They didn't really care to see him. "The two evil people are in there," Michelle said.
Jerry said that the final two players were a force to be reckoned with. But the other jury members all argued with him because he didn't target them when he had the chance. After a short spat, Renny called him a chauvinist pig before calling Memphis insensitive.
Keesha really respected Dan's game because his best move, she said, was how he got everybody to like him. But April, of course, disagreed and said that some of his moves were heartless. She argued in favor of Memphis saying he played people and had a stronger game. But as Renny pointed out, he never won a single Head of Household.
Jury asks their questions
The seven jury members were then given the chance to ask Dan and Memphis a question. None of them were really impressive. Libra asked Dan what his best move was, April asked Memphis why she should vote for him. Michelle asked Dan to explain to the entire group why he took her on the luxury trip. He said that he felt it was a way to make amends with her after he had backdoored her earlier in the game. As for Ollie, he asked Dan why he broke the deal they had made. Keesha asked Memphis why he picked to keep Jerry in the final three over her. And Jerry wondered if Dan respected all of the jury members. Would he honestly say no when he's seeking their votes?
Those were all fun, but Renny's was the best.
She asked Memphis to name one thing he did for her in the game. He was having a very tough time doing so, but eventually came up with an answer. "I gave you at least myself…and me." HUH?
The keys to victory
One at a time, the jury approached the voting podium and inserted the key with the person's name they wanted to win inside the box.
After they all secretly cast their votes, the first four evicted houseguests were brought back for a mini reunion. Having been able to watch the entire season, Brian said that he was proud both Dan and Memphis made it to the end without making the game personal. He said, however, that it was disappointing to see Michelle's reaction to Libra after she lost her trip to Hawaii. He didn't like how Michelle and April talked about Keesha at the jury house. Steven said that the way Jerry acted and treated Dan was awful. As for Angie, apparently the producers didn't care what she thought because she didn't even get to talk.
Oh well.
A great moment in tonight's episode revealed to the houseguests that Dan was America's Player for one week. They all laughed through the moments he had to do — especially hugging Jessie for 10 seconds. Michelle looked shocked, but kept saying she knew it. Ironic?
And the winner is…
One at a time host Julie Chen pulled the keys out of the ballot box. After the first four votes, Dan won the $500,000 prize. He and Memphis walked out of the house for the first time in weeks and came out to a cheering crowd. Dan's family ran up and embraced him in hugs as confetti filled the air.
But that's not all. Memphis was awarded the second-place prize money of $50,000. Keesha won America's vote for favorite juror and nabbed $25,000. As for the three other votes, Dan had those, too. He won unanimously.

Twenty-eight-year-old Ram Porat detained after trespassing onto American Airlines aircraft taxiing in Nashville airport, tells cops 'I own the world'
Published: 05.15.12, 20:19 / Israel News
A 28-year-old Israeli man was arrested on Sunday after breaking into an American Airlines plane in Tennessee's Nashville International Airport.
Related stories:
Asked by police officers what he was doing onboard the aircraft, Porat answered: "I own the world." He was then taken into custody and charged with an airport security violation, vandalism and trespassing into a restricted area. Porat was later released on a $14,000 bail.
The friend added: "I'm not going to ask you to stop this behavior or to come back home - clearly you've stopped giving a f*** about what your love ones think a long time ago. As I said - sometimes things just need to be said, for the sake of it. I just hope you'll come to your senses before becoming a crack-head or being locked up until you're 50."

Will this device turn on a computer?
I improperly phrased my last question as to whether this will turn on and off a computer. My only real question is will this WEMO turn ON a computer. I would not use this product to shut down a computer I just want to be able to turn it on remotely. Please let me know if anybody has had any success with this product turning on a PC.

1 Answer from the Community
You can normally change the settings on your computer so it turns on automatically after a power outage / never turns itself off. It may vary a little from PC to PC. If the computer locks up you could then use this device to disconnect / reconnect the mains to the PC, after which your PC will reboot on detecting mains again.

International Court Rules Against Japan's Booming Whale-Meat Industry
Save the whales. For real.
Japan's bid to uphold its traditional custom of whaling for food appears to have met an unceremonious end today with an International Court of Justice ruling. Up until now, Antarctic harvesting and subsequent distribution of whale meat has been conditional on the notion that the industry is a byproduct of ongoing science research, that is, it was okay to butcher specimens used in studies regarding topics such as reproduction and whale anatomy. The ICJ ruling, however, analyzed what tallies as 900 dead whales a year, and found that just two peer-reviewed papers have been published in the past nine years, and those involved a total of nine whales.
The ruling, which was ratified with a 12-4 vote, cannot be appealed. Japanese officials say they'll abide by it, but it's hard to say who'd enforce it if they didn't. The centuries-old practice has deep roots — one can buy whale meat in tuna-fish-style tins in ordinary stores — and Japan even signed an international agreement in 1986 pledging to curb whaling. Because of the cultural precedent and the lack of adherence to previous commitments, NPR reports it is possible that officials will back out of agreements to end its whaling practices.

In 1904, America was just starting to become a world power. One of its marked achievements was that it hosted the 1904 World's Fair. People traveled from all over the world to show off their different inventions, gadgets and cultural products. One person who traveled to St. Louis was a tea farmer who wanted to give away free samples of his tea, believing that once people tasted it they would love it and buy more. The problem was it was scorching hot outside and no one wanted anything hot to drink. Out of desperation, he dumped a bunch of ice into the tea and he had an instant hit. That story is most likely an Urban Legend, but it does show how basic iced tea is. Iced tea is simply hot tea that has been cooled and iced. The easiest way to make iced tea is to wait until your tea has cooled and then pour it over ice.
But who has time to wait for tea to cool? I'm thirsty now! The good news is that there is a tip to make iced tea you can drink immediately. The better news is that it only takes about 5 minutes to make a full pitcher. What you will need
- Tea (double the usual amount)
- A teapot
- A large pitcher
- Ice
What are the steps?
- Heat your water to the desired temperature (Boiling for Black Tea, slightly cooled for the other types of tea)
- Place the tea in your teapot
- Pour the water into the teapot and steep for the appropriate time
- While the tea is steeping, fill the pitcher to the top with ice
- Pour the fully steeped tea over ice
- You are ready to serve!
Doubling the tea helps your tea keep its flavor Since we are pouring the tea over ice, we are actually diluting the flavor of the tea. To prevent this, we need to make tea that is twice is strong. No matter what you do, don't try and steep the tea for twice as long as the tea will get very astringent and bitter. Summary While you may or may not believe the story of the creation of iced tea, the basic fact is that it is very easy to make. On a hot summer day, it is really hard to beat a nice ice-cold glass of iced tea…and now you know that it only takes 5 minutes to make!

I made 1/2 recipe last night.
I do not like A-1 sauce; however it still sounded good.......wrong! This is the worse recipe I have ever made. I should have stopped looking at the recipe when I saw the A-1 - perhaps the bbq sauce in one of the reviews may be a better choice. Now I have to throw $10 worth of sirloin steak in the garbage (along with the A-1).
I was not going to give even one star; however this site is asking for some. I would give it a minus, but guess have to make it one.
I have made this twice and it is fabulous!! The 2nd time I bought a less expensive steak and it wasnt as good, very chewy. Definitely go with the better steak!

Clean-up event held at Gnejna Bay as part of international 'Dive Against Debris' initiative: 600Kg recovered from the seabed
Over 1,6 tons of garbage was picked from the beach. The elementary school picked over 200 kg alone. The winner of the day was Sea Quest with 390 kg of garbage. Thanks to all 116 pepole plus all the resorts who made this possible.
Да мы можем сохранить подводный мир. И это много зависит от нас. Если вы призадумаетесь хоть на секунду, в мире есть еще не тронутые человеком места, но с каждым годом таких местстановится все меньше и меньше. Вопрос ПОЧЕМУ? А ответ очень простой, там где появляется человек, всегда появляется много мусора, который загрезняет и губит прекрасный мир. Наша цель спасти этот мир. Давайте делать это вместе
We raised $400 through our BBQ & raffle at our annual Dive Against Debris event this weekend. We had some awesome weather and a great turnout - 45 attendees removed a lot of trash (including 77 golf balls and a full set of clubs. Clearly someone had a bad game).
Our new mesh bags were a big hit and so useful, we had several people ask to buy them.
We also held a few related specialty courses (buoyancy for example) and will issue some certs as part of our 100% AWARE partnership.
September being Debris Month of Action, candidates at the Kota Kinabalu Instructor Examination did their share during their Open Water session to clean up the unusual amount of trash that washed up on the beach due to the high tides of the month.
Thank you to IE candidates Mohsen Kariminia, Roberto De Cave, Hannah Gee, Liau Fung Yung, Rayner Petrus, Kaman NG, Samuel Gee, Course Directors Richard Swann and Chong Hion Hoak, PADI Examiner Mario Beaucage and all the staff at DownBelow for doing what everybody should do: Care for our environment and get involved.
Acquazzurra, a PADI 5 Star IDC Center in Rome, in cooperation with the municipality of Trevignano Romano and the beach resort Ultima Spiaggia, on September 15th organized a Dive Against Debris clean up day of the Bracciano Lake.
The event was a huge success: 42 people joined the event and 81,4 kg of marine debris have been successfully removed and disposed.
Only divers have the skills to remove underwater marine debris so on Sunday 8th September 2013 at 5pm, 21 local divers got together for a Dive Against Debris event at Stuart Cove's Dive Bahamas. The location was the coral reef surrounding the Anthony Bell shipwreck. Divers, working in teams, removed roughly 70lbs of debris including fishing line, lures, hooks, foam insulation, plastic pipes, plastic fragments, beverage bottles, rope, cloth and metal items.
We had 29 volunteers of that 19 divers, 4 kayakers, 1 snorkeler and beach support.
Great group, great results - total weight between 380 - 395 kg of that 4 bags of recycling!
On September 28, 2013, Green Smile, a NGO focusing in environmental protection will conduct a coastal clean-up action together with us.
The action will involve 100 divers to take part in the underwater clean-up and around 400 people to participate in the beach clean-up action, making total of 500 participants altogether. Together with this effort, Green Smile (www.greensmile.or.id) will also perform a campaign to fight marine debris at Jakarta's main road on September 15, 2013. With this effort we wish to gain more public awareness towards clean ocean and our future.

Asparagus Tarts
Adapted From: Joy the Baker
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
flour for dusting
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups grated Gruyere cheese (I used Swiss cause that's what I had!)
1 pound slender asparagus, trimmed and cut to fit pastry
salt and ground black pepper
olive oil
balsamic reduction, optional
Preheat oven at 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unfold puff pastry on floured work surface. Using a pizza cutter, cut along each folded crease making three long rectangles. Next, cut each rectangle in half now having six square-rectangle pieces. Using a small paring knife, score a 1/4″ border along each pastry piece. Place on lined baking sheet and brush lightly with egg. Sprinkle with salt and ground pepper to taste. Top with a small heaping of cheese trying to stay in the border. Now, press 4-5 asparagus spears into cheese. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with more salt and ground pepper.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until pastry is golden brown and asparagus is cooked through.
Drizzle with balsamic reduction and shove one in your mouth!
Makes 6 small tarts.

Move over, Morgan Freeman. There's a new actor taking over the role of God, and his name is David Wenham. Wenham portrays the Almighty as a tie-wearing office worker in Frazer Bailey's irresistible Australian short "Glenn Owen Dodds," which picked up the Audience Favorite Award at the 2010 Aspen Shortsfest.
Over 100 international shorts screened at the 19th annual Aspen Shortsfest, which ran from April 6-11, 2010 in Aspen and Carbondale, Colorado. "This year the variety and quality were high enough that we decided to add a night - and two programs - to showcase this bounty of new talent," reported George Eldred, Program Director for Aspen Film, who added that there were a record 86 films in competition.
This year's Aspen Shortsfest jury consisted of actress Meg Ryan, Academy Award-nominated documentary filmmaker Daniel Junge, Smokewood Entertainment co-founder Sarah Siegel-Magness, and Oscar-nomination "Children of Men" scribe David Arata.
The jury honored Anita Killi's "Angry Man" as the best animation of the fest. "Angry Man" was one of three Norwegian shorts screening in Aspen, all of which walked away winners. Iram Haq's "Little Miss Eyeflap" took home the festival's Ellen prize while Tomas Sem Lokke-Sorensen 5-minute "The Unhappy Woman" happily accepted the Best Short Short trophy.
The documentary prize went to the Cambodian-set "Born Sweet" by Academy Award-winner Cynthia Wade ("Freeheld"). Other short docs that impressed include Wendy Greene's Oklahoma-set "Snake Fever," which world premiered in Aspen; Vance Malone's touching portrait of an aging circus performer, "The Poodle Trainer;" and Matt Faust's haunting, impressionistic look at his Katrina-destroyed family dwelling, "home."
The jury selected "Seeds of the Fall" as the festival's Best Comedy. Fans of Patrik Eklund's previous short, the Oscar-nominated "Instead of Abracadabra," will share the jury's enthusiasm for the warm-hearted suburban quirkiness that has become Eklund's trademark.
Best Drama went to "The Six Dollar Fifty Man," Mark Albiston and Louis Sutherland's memorable look at schoolyard bullying.
Shorts centering on little boy leads were a definite trend at Aspen - and were some of the most memorable shorts playing the festival. In addition to "The Six Dollar Fifty Man," there was Bassam Ali Jarbawi's "Chicken Heads," Hannah Hilliard's "Franswa Sharl," Tim Dean's "Fences," Steve Audette's documentary "Nico's Challenge," and Gregg Helvey's Oscar-nominated USC student film "Kavi," which was given Aspen's Youth Jury Prize.
Strong shorts from film schools was another trend. While Esther Siton was singled out by the jury for her Israeli student film "I'm Ready," there were many outstanding student films, including another Israeli student short, Maya Tiberman's "Ramlod."
The Polish National Film School delivered two tense dramas: "Echo," in which two teenager suspects are forced to recreate their crime in an open field, and "Birthday" in which a woman ruins her partner's birthday party when she's told that their plans for artificial insemination are no longer necessary.
From the NYU's Tisch Asia program in Singapore came Eric Flanagan's captivating "Teleglobal Dreamin,'" a twisty cautionary tale that could only take place in the current era of celebrity worship.
Columbia University's contributed Lauren Wolkstein's stunning soldier's homecoming story, "Cigarette Candy," and Isold Uggadottir's unflinching drama showcasing a female drug addict unraveling, "Clean."
Animation schools in London also made notable contributions, with NFTS offering up Philip Bacon 's "Yellow Belly End" and the Royal College of Art presenting Rafael Sommerhalder's two remarkable pieces, "Wolves" and "Flowerpots."
Another trend at this year's Shortfest was the emphasis on shorter pieces, with more work falling in the five to fifteen minute range, and fewer in the over twenty-five.
Five noteworthy shorts in the fifteen-or-less category include Evan Wolf Buxbaum's six-minute charmer, "Anything You Can Do," which delightfully captures the energy of its preteen heroine. Clocking in at 12 minutes, Ruben Oestlund's "Incident by a Bank" must be appreciated for its bystander point of view of a crime in progress. Thierry Espasa's 14-minute "Park" expertly utilizes a classic short film formula in which seemingly unrelated stories intersect with unexpected results.
Mike and Tim Rauch's four-minute animation/documentary "Q&A" depicts a simple yet very touching real life conversation between a straight-talking mother and her inquisitive special-needs son. David O'Sullivan's 6-minute "Moore Street Masala" is best described by the filmmaker himself as "an Irish director doing his take on Indian cinema in a Dublin setting."
There were so many impressive films at this year's Shortsfest that the jury felt the need to give five additional special recognitions. Jon Goldman's "Diplomacy," Jason Stutter's "Careful with That Powertool," Ruben Ostlund's "Incident by a Bank," Bassam Ali Jarbawi's "Chicken Heads," and Luke Matheny's "God of Love" were all honored.

Youtube or Picasa for editing, or let everyone see. The Samsung i7500 Galaxy
obviously has a very important feature that allows Google Android 1.5
Cupcake screen rotation and a virtual keyboard which gives full-touch display
to operate.
A smartphone
like the Samsung i7500 is obviously not without mobile internet and the
possibilities for the mobile Internet on the go are certainly present. The
display of the Samsung i7500 Galaxy Android with 3.2 inch also big enough to
get simply relax and surf the mobile Internet. The Samsung i7500 Galaxy
supports GPRS and EDGE, but for the Dutch it is of course a better support for
HSDPA and UMTS which is more interesting. Besides the above all compounds you
may also see a WiFi connection support in the Samsung i7500 through which it
brings faster internet service on your finger tips. With the Google Android OS

It's celebrations all round over at Apple's Cupertino HQ, as the App Store has hit 15 billion downloads.
Apple's announcement follows its competition at the start of the year, which celebrated the App Store's 10 billionth download. This means that iPhone and iPad users have downloaded a mammoth 5 billion downloads in under 6 months, which works out at just under 1 billion downloads per month since the start of 2011.
Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president said: "Thank you to all of our amazing developers who have filled [the App Store] with over 425,000 of the coolest apps and to our over 200 million iOS users for surpassing 15 billion downloads," said Philip Schiller, Apple's head of product marketing, in a statement. The app count includes 100,000 native iPad apps".
The iTunes Store now contains more than 425,000 applications, 100,000 of those which are native iPad apps. There are now more than 200 million iOS devices in use around the world too, which means there's an average of 75 apps downloaded per device.
Oli Christie, developer of Paper Glider which was Apple's 10 billionth app to be downloaded, added: "It's incredible that just six months later [Apple] had achieved another 5 billion downloads. Neon Play is proud to have achieved 21 million of those download numbers and we're creating some great new games for iOS, including our first social game. Plus we're about to launch Paper Glider on Nokia and Android, so we look forward with great anticipation to see how they perform."

So, this is an event to now put on your calendars! The release of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit, which is due in cinemas very soon (14th December 2012), and so what better way to prepare than going on an adventure yourself into the world of the mastermind behind it all, J.R.R. Tolkien!
The aptly named 3-Minute J.R.R. Tolkien, written by Gary Raymond, will give you possibly the greatest insight into the world of Tolkien, and a lot more information about his popular books and the background behind them.
The adventure begins letting you delve deep into the wonder of Tolkien's mind, his life and the influence his beloved Oxford had on his writing. As the journey continues you are shown where his inspirational landscapes actually are, and where the inspiration for the greatest wizard of all time, Gandalf, actually came from.
As well as considerations of the novels themselves, you emerge to be given an insight into how Tolkien has influenced much of fantasy literature, including The Chronicles of Narnia, The Dark Materials trilogy, and the Harry Potter novels.
So, now would be the perfect time to add this to your calendar, and start counting the days until it is released.

I know we are all disappointed with how the season has gone so far, but we can take a big step forward with an upset victory over K-State. I hope Hilton can be as rockin as it was for Texas and Kansas. Even though the Kansas game was decided by halftime, I thought the atmosphere in the first half was about as good as we've seen in awhile. Especially with all the different signs and chants from Cyclone Alley. So what does everyone have on K-State players?
Their girls aren't cute enough to go to KU.
Too bad he's not there anymore.
Stupid Mascot. Uh, hi....he has a human body? Couldn't spend some extra coin to go for the whole "cat" suit?
"You're to cute to go to KSU, You should go to KU."
I heard they like to grope barnyard animals. Could have been their coeds I guess.
K-State likes to drink soda. Frank Martin's car is green.

Stetson women win Atlantic Sun and NCAA berth
MACON, Ga. (AP) — Florida Gulf Coast hadn't lost to an Atlantic Sun Conference opponent in over two years. With a berth in the NCAA tournament on the line, Stetson put a halt to that.
Sasha Sims scored 15 points, and Victoria McGowan and Cherisse Burris each added 14 to help Stetson rally for a 70-64 victory over Florida Gulf Coast on Saturday in the Atlantic Sun tournament championship game.
"We do know what it feels like, last year when we had to sit here and we were the second-place team," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "We didn't want to feel like that anymore."
Shanasa Sanders chipped in with 12 points for the Hatters (24-8), who overcame a 15-point deficit and were perfect from the free throw line in the final minute to break Gulf Coast's 21-game winning streak.
Stetson outscored the Eagles 43-24 in the second half.
"Our defensive play in the second half wasn't as good as their offensive play, that's for sure," said Gulf Coast coach Karl Smesko. "Stetson was definitely taking it to us."
C.J. Coddington's free throw tied it at 62 for Stetson with 1:32 left and the Hatters took the lead with two free throws from Burris with 54.5 seconds left.
Joyce Iamstrong, who led the Eagles with 31 points, tied it with a drive but Sims hit a 14-footer with 20 seconds remaining to give Stetson a 66-64 lead. Gulf Coast couldn't answer and the Hatters sealed it with four throws from Burriss and Sanders.
Gulf Coast's slimmest margin of victory in conference play this season came in a 53-42 win over North Florida in early January, so a close game was something new for the Eagles.
"I think that plays a small role," said Smesko, the conference coach of the year. "Obviously you get tested a lot, you're in a lot of close games, you're better prepared for that situation. Regardless of when you've been in it, you've got to be able to make the plays."

Updated on April 21, 2016
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal talked about Community Supported Fisheries (or CSFs)-a way for folks to get fish that follows the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) model where people buy a share of the produce, or in this case, buy a share of a fisherman's catch. Read more here.
The article brings up an interesting point that local doesn't always translate to ocean-friendly.
As an example, one of the fish that members of the CSF received this week was Atlantic Cod. Blue Ocean gives this fish a red ranking, in part due to low population levels.
What considerations do you keep in mind when you select a fish to eat?
The great recipe you just found online?
How far the fish traveled to get to you?
The catch or farm method used?
Let us know: add a comment to this post to tell our blog readers how YOU make these choices.

Teen Mom
Farrah Abraham's Mom Debra Pursuing a Career in "Commercial Modeling" — No, Really
Farrah Abraham has some serious competition. Turns out her mom, the middle-aged blonde bombshell known as Debra Danielson, is pursuing a career in modeling and acting –– two of Farrah's favorite hobbies other than frolicking around in vats of hot pepper sauce!
Apparently Debra got accustomed to living life in the spotlight during Teen Mom, and now she's using her God-given good looks to earn some extra cash money.
"I am pursuing commercial modeling and acting," Debra recently told The Ashley.
Debra might be getting a late start on her career, but she recently auditioned for a pharmaceutical commercial in New York City, so fingers crossed she gets a call back! And with Farrah's industry connections, we're sure Debra will be appearing on the small screen in no time. Though let's hope she doesn't take this "following in Farrah's footsteps" thing to the next level by starring in a porn movie, because there's only so much our eyeballs can take at this point.
So, what else is Deb up to? Swimming in a sea of hot pepper sauce, natch!
"[We were] invited into Whole Foods Market with our Mom & Me Premium Italian Hot Pepper Sauce," she tells The Ashley. "[I've] also been making personal appearances and dating."
Sigh, the men just aren't safe. By the way, does anyone else think Debra should be hired as the face of The Concerned Parents Association?

Key Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats called on Republicans today to stop holding up President Barack Obama's nominee to head the Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel.
Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), the chairman of the panel, and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), chairman of the administrative oversight and the courts subcommittee, said in an editorial in The National Law Journal today that OLC nominee Dawn Johnsen is "well qualified" to oversee the elite DOJ office that assesses the constitutionality and legality of government actions.
Republicans have voiced concerns about Johnsen's vocal opposition to the Bush administration's national security policies and her past work for an abortion rights group.
Johnsen's nomination languished for months in the Senate last year before it was returned to the White House on Dec. 24. Obama re-nominated her last month. But consideration of her nomination in committee this year has been delayed three times. The panel is expected to consider her nomination next week.
"Senators who disagree can vote against her nomination, and make clear their reasons," the senators said in their editorial. "But it is time for the obstruction to end and for the Senate to have an up-or-down vote on Dawn Johnsen's nomination."
Leahy and Whitehouse lauded Johnsen's past experience as a OLC lawyer and help in authoring the "Principles To Guide the Office of Legal Counsel," which offered suggestions on how the office could move forward after it was revealed that the office authorized harsh interrogation methods used against terrorism suspects during the George W. Bush administration.
The Democratic senators said Johnsen, an Indiana University law professor, has "demonstrated her resolve in national security matters, her seriousness, and her commitment to the rule of law."
"Through the confirmation process, Johnsen has responded to questions on a wide range of topics, from executive power to protecting against obscenity and child pornography and enforcing and defending the Constitution," the senators said. "She has left no doubt that she will thoughtfully analyze — not simply rubber-stamp — the legality of administration policies."

On the first anniversary of the Haiti earthquake, I travelled to the Leogane region of Haiti, the center of the earthquake's devastation. I went as the guest of an Israeli NGO called Tevel b'Tzedek (The Earth, in Justice) founded in 2005 by Rabbi Micah Odenheimer to promote social and environmental justice in the world. With the support of IsraAid a team of Israeli volunteers travelled to the region soon after the earthquake. Uri l'Tzedek, a U.S. based Orthodox social justice organization, asked me to be the first of a series of rabbis to visit the team and interact with many of the Haitians that they have been helping.
Haiti is one of the poorest countries on the planet. Its per capita income is about $350/ year. Haitians expect nothing from their government. It has been ruled by a succession of leaders who have either been ruthless dictators or incompetents. The $15 billion dollars of aid that poured into the country after the earthquake and the hundreds of NGOs on the ground can barely make a dent in the country's problems because there are no government agencies that have effectively coordinated the aid effort.
Churches seem to be the only consistent source of hope and community in the country. I befriended a pastor named Johnny Felix who invited me to his Sunday worship service. The singing was spirited and every seat was filled with Haitians of all ages. I was treated like royalty. They don't meet many Jews and I was certainly the first rabbi they ever encountered. To them I was a minister to the chosen people of God and Israel was the Promised Land. I taught them a song with the words Shabbat Shalom, a Sabbath of peace. They picked it up in no time and a day later Pastor Johnny said that it would become a permanent part of their liturgy because it was taught to them by a rabbi and it was in God's language, Hebrew.
My sponsors asked me to work with the team of Jews and Israelis on the ground to frame the experience of service in the language of Jewish texts and values. It was no simple task. The group included two Russians who had never been exposed to any form of religion at all, a middle-aged man who rejected all forms of nationalism and religion, a woman raised in a Messianic Jewish congregation, and a woman whose father was an Orthodox rabbi but who rejected his teaching. It was not exactly an audience eager for lessons from a progressive American rabbi.
Yet the group also participated in several sessions that I taught to their local partners. They saw how the Haitians resonated to Biblical teachings about the infinite value of human life, God's commandment to lift up the downtrodden and the belief that in working on behalf of the poor, people of faith become agents for God's love in the world. The Jews came to see the value of sacred Jewish texts not for how it would deepen their Jewish identity but for the way it could serve as a bridge to deepen their relationship with those they wanted to help.
Given that there is now a dramatic increase in the number of Jews being sent to the developing world to do service, it is worth thinking about how middle class Jews can really understand and ally with impoverished people of other cultures with whom we have so little in common. The most important bond is "faith" and it is not exactly Jews' strong suit.
The volunteers I worked with were certainly not motivated to come to Haiti to take on this challenging work because of any deep commitment to Judaism, nor to be ambassadors of good will from the state of Israel to the people in the developing world. It will be for others to make such a case if they so wish. Yet sometimes we are agents for God's work in the world without being conscious of it.
It is among the mysteries of the cosmos that continues to amaze me.

Buffett Tailgate & Concert!
We party with Rum Shop Ryan. Parrothead Style!
Friday Night Pre-Party
Jimmy Buffett concert tailgate with Rum Shop Ryan and the Barefoot Children Parrothead Club! Now, as any of you real Parrotheads know you cannot properly have a Buffett Tailgate with first having a pre-party! This is the real key to get you in that Margaritaville state of mind!
Ryan had started early on Friday with some Rum Punch and Bikini watching on Ft. Lauderdale Beach. Afterwards we met up at my place for a few Corona before we made our way to Lulu's Bait Shack at Beach Place. Following many Loaded Corona's I decided that Ryan had to experience the Mai Kai and their amazing Molokai Tiki Bar!
This was to be for one cocktail before heading downtown, but after a few Barrel O' Rums's and some shots from a boisterous Ukrainian, we found that the bar was closing and the night had quickly gotten away from us. The rest of the night gets a little blurry from here, as we headed downtown but if you run into me just ask me to see the pics on my phone! Many are good for a laugh and beg questions I could never begin to answer.
Saturday morning I woke on my couch somewhere around 9am unsure how and when we my DD managed to get us home. My head was pounding and I was glad though that we had a few more hours to sleep. But around 11 we rose, ate, had coffee, and tried to re-energize ourselves as best we could. By noon the truck was packed, the pirate flag was raised, and we were off!
The Tiki Bar is Open!
At 2pm the gates to the parking lot opened and we arrived. The Barefoot Children
Parrothead Club was already set up and JD Spradlin from Radio Margaritaville was playing some old favorites. We quickly found our place in the shade, popped up our EZ Up tent, hoisted the colors and the Key West flag and got the party rolling!
Soon the parking lot was filled a sea of tiki bars and beach music. Still nursing a hangover from the previous night we had a few libations, made a quick video for our fans, then headed out to join in with the Barefoot Children. As with most Parrotheads they greeted us with open arms, strong drinks, and warm cheeseburgers! We made our donation to the The Wounded Warrior Project and enjoyed our new friends. We stopped in to say hello to JD and then ventured out to the party. We found many others who were all too happy to share with us their concoctions and soon found ourselves headed into the haze of the rum. But we made our way through the parrotheads once again for a final "roadie" and as we walked we got the crowd going with Buster Poindexter's Hot Hot Hot.
The show as always was amazing and we all sang along with each tune as we laughed and drank with our fellow parrotheads. Ryan and I managed to find some better seats in the box section after many rejections by the arena staff. Afterwards we hung out with a few people we met no the way out, still singing and laughing with our new friends. They were nice enough to drive us home and stop for some much needed grub. All in all it was a great two days and a hell of show!
Now it's time to gear up for the Kenny Chesney Tailgate!
See you all in Tampa!

The Seahawks went out in typical fashion Sunday — in a thrilling, heart-stopping loss to the Falcons that will leave fans pondering a lot of "what-ifs."
ATLANTA — The Seahawks don't just play football games. They act out "Rocky" movies, with pigskin instead of boxing gloves.
Opponents can't just beat them. They have to endure them, too. With epic game after epic game, the Seahawks left you fidgeting the entire season. Fittingly, on Sunday, they went out as only they could — with delirious disappointment. In the most tormenting, exhilarating and ultimately heartbreaking game of the season, Atlanta survived the Seahawks in an NFC divisional playoff game. The Falcons needed every second of a wild fourth quarter to withstand a ferocious Seattle comeback and then post their own rally in a 30-28 victory at the Georgia Dome.
It possessed all the traits of a classic game: dramatic momentum shifts, incredible individual efforts, clutch performances and, yes, dreadful decision-making that can inspire an offseason full of second-guessing and "What if?" pondering.

"Emotionally, it was just up and down," said Atlanta tight end Tony Gonzalez, a future Hall of Famer who won the first playoff game of his 16-year career. "I'm spent right now. I'm so happy we were able to pull it out."
Said Seahawks defensive tackle Alan Branch: "You lose like that, it definitely hurts."
The Seahawks lost at the end because their celebrated defense couldn't hold a one-point lead with 31 seconds remaining. They lost at the beginning because they could neither tackle the Falcons' running backs nor stop their receivers from making big plays as Atlanta built a 20-0 halftime lead. And they lost in the middle because they failed to make use of three prime scoring opportunities in the first half.
You'll remember those three blunders the most.
Marshawn Lynch made the first mistake in the first quarter, losing a fumble at the Atlanta 39-yard line after an 11-yard run, his longest of a subpar game.
Then, on back-to-back possessions in the second quarter, the Seahawks drove within 11 yards of the end zone and came away with no points. Instead of taking a field goal, the Seahawks were stopped on a fourth-and-1 play in which fullback Michael Robinson received the carry rather than Lynch.
Later, the Seahawks, who had no timeouts remaining, let the clock expire at the end of the first half after quarterback Russell Wilson was sacked. They had no time to kick a field goal, and Wilson tried unsuccessfully to hurry his team to line up for a last-second heave to the end zone on fourth down. It was a horribly appropriate ending to a disastrous first half.
So, the Seahawks saw a promising drive end with Lynch's fumble. Then, they missed out on at least two easy field goals because of either poor decision making or poor clock management. It turns out they could've lived with one of those mistakes and still won the game. But both of them? Too costly.
It's the fourth-and-1 play that stings the most. It stings because they were down 13-0 at the time and simply needed to get on the scoreboard with a field goal. It stings because the Seahawks had been efficient on fourth down all season, converting 12 of 20 tries (60 percent) entering the game, including a perfect 5 of 5 on fourth-and-2 or shorter. And it stings because they didn't give the ball to Lynch, their best player, on a most critical play.
In a vacuum, was it an awful decision? No. But the way the game was going, the Seahawks needed that field goal to settle down. There was plenty of time, as we learned, to go for touchdowns later.
Not surprisingly, coach Pete Carroll doesn't have any regrets, however.
"No, not really, I don't look at it that way," he said. "But you can. You can look at it any way you want, but we had a chance. You have to make the 6 inches or whatever it was. We thought we could knock it out."
Here's the thing about the Seahawks, though: Despite their blunders, despite a run defense that allowed 167 rushing yards to a poor running team, despite trailing 27-7 at the start of the fourth quarter, they refused to break. And they nearly pulled off their greatest comeback victory ever.
Wilson led them, throwing for 385 yards (an NFL postseason record for a rookie quarterback) and two touchdowns. Tight end Zach Miller, who had eight receptions for 142 yards, caught a touchdown pass during the rally. Lynch, who was held to 46 rushing yards, still did his part, plunging into the end zone from two yards out as the Seahawks took a 28-27 lead with 31 seconds left. Their fight was remarkable.
"We're going to fight you until the end," linebacker Leroy Hill said. "Until the last second, we're fighting."
So was Atlanta, though. Quarterback Matt Ryan threw a 22-yard pass to Harry Douglas to start the drive, then he hit Gonzalez for 19 yards to put the Falcons in field-goal range. And Matt Bryant made the pressure kick, a 49-yarder with eight seconds left that turned a heckuva comeback into a heckuva learning lesson.
"Hopefully, it'll make us tougher," defensive end Red Bryant said. "Hopefully, it'll make us hungrier."
The Seahawks will be better for this agony. But a splendid season of growth ends prematurely, after a game in which hearts beat drum solos and oversized men strained to give their max and victory appeared almost indistinguishable from defeat.
So close. So heartbreaking.
And, sadly, so long.

If Facebook hopes to remain the social networking leader, CEO Mark Zuckerberg knows the company must follow the people. That realization compelled Zuckerberg to pay $19 billion for WhatsApp, a mobile messaging application that is redefining the concept of texting while its audience of 450 million users expands at an even faster clip than Facebook itself.
The deal sent shock waves through the technology industry because of the staggering price being paid for a four-year-old service that isn't as well known in the U.S. as it is overseas where WhatsApp has become a hip way to communicate instantaneously.
Although the amount of money involved is difficult to comprehend, the reason Facebook prizes WhatsApp is easier to grasp.
''This is a `go big or go home' moment for Facebook,'' said Benedict Evans, a former cellphone analyst who is now a partner with the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.
Just as he did nearly two years ago when Facebook bought photo-sharing service Instagram for $715 million, Zuckerberg is trying to ensure that his company doesn't get left behind as people move to the next trend.
And WhatsApp is what's hot now. The Mountain View, California, startup already has nearly twice as many users as the better known short messaging service, Twitter Inc. What's more, WhatsApp is adding about 1 million users each day - more than even Facebook.
The rapid growth has convinced Zuckerberg that WhatsApp is bound to exceed 1 billion users within the next few years to give Facebook even more telling insights into what matters to people. Even at its current size, WhatsApp is already handling an average of 19 billion messages per day. Those daily messages include about 600 million photos. Facebook believes that WhatsApp's messaging volume already exceeds all the traditional texts sent through the networks of cellphone carriers. Those short messaging services, or SMS, generate about $100 billion in annual revenue while WhatsApp charges just $1 annually after the first year of free usage.
By making a big bet on WhatsApp, Zuckerberg is trying to avoid the mistake that one of his heroes, Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates, made during the late 1990s when the Internet began to trigger an upheaval in business and culture. Gates recognized that Microsoft's lucrative Windows software franchise could be undermined by a variety of new services made possible by the Internet, but didn't act on some his early instincts.

Affordable housing for veterans on June ballot
California has a more than $1 billion surplus of funds to encourage veterans to buy homes, but applications have just trickled in over the last few years.
At the same time, there is not enough money to help those who served find an affordable place to rent even as demand surges today.
To address that inequality, the Legislature placed Proposition 41 on the June 3 ballot asking voters to change the law so that $600 million now dedicated to home loans for veterans can instead be tapped to provide lower-cost apartments.
The measure would authorize setting aside $600 million in previously approved bonds for nonprofit agencies and local governments that would then provide and manage the housing. Another $500 million would stay in the bank to continue to provide traditional low-cost loans for veterans who want to buy homes.
In recent testimony in support of the measure, Peter Gravett, secretary of the California Department of Veterans Affairs, said the state offers a number of ownership programs and other services for veterans.
"However, in housing there has been a hole … There isn't anything for veterans who aren't able to maintain a residence. (Proposition 41) bridges the gap by providing affordable housing," he explained.
Despite its obvious appeal, the measure has drawn criticism from a leading veterans advocate: Assemblyman Rocky Chávez, R-Oceanside. Chávez, a retired Marine colonel and former acting secretary of the state Department of Veterans Affairs, said more veterans could be helped if the state took a different approach toward repaying bond investors.
Chávez's concerns are centered on the decision to use state general fund money — an estimated $50 million each year over 15 years. He said that money should be directed to county programs that help veterans secure jobs, education, benefits and other services that help prevent homelessness and other problems in the first place.
Chávez said he would prefer a financing package that requires the nonprofit agency, thus the renters, to repay all of the costs instead of taking it from general tax revenues. The property would then be used to secure loans, he said.
That does not mean Chávez opposes the premise of Proposition 41, which he calls "a noble attempt."
"It's the issue of financing," he explained. "That's where we divide." Supporters note it's the state's long-standing practice to use the general fund to repay general obligation bonds, just like the bonds sold for other housing projects, parks and water programs. Also, the measure caps rents based on income. That would bring in about $350 to $1,000 a month per unit, which would provide little fresh revenue after the housing upkeep and management costs are subtracted.
Reservations aside, Chávez said he expects voters to approve Proposition 41. It has a long list of endorsements, from veterans groups to the governor to San Diego housing advocates.
Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, a San Diego Democrat who has long made veterans and housing top priorities, is one of those campaigning for voter approval.
"No one who comes home from wearing the uniform of our nation and defending our freedom should be forced to call a cold sidewalk home," she said at a town hall on the issue.
Atkins argues that the price of housing veterans is more than offset by savings derived from not spending on emergency medical care, law enforcement and other services.
"We invest many more public dollars to manage homelessness and its impact than we do when we provide a place to live," she said.
California has the largest number of veterans and homeless veterans of any state. There are nearly 2 million living here, of whom an estimated 16,000 do not have a permanent residence. There are an estimated 1,500 homeless veterans in San Diego County, according to government estimates.

Rehoboth man arrested in theft of grandma's credit card
Delaware State Police arrested a Rehoboth Beach man Jan. 12 they say stole his grandmother's credit card and ran up $2,500 in charges.
Police had been looking for Maxwell J. Schenck, 24, in connection with credit card theft and found him following an anonymous tip, said Cpl. Gary Fournier of the Delaware State Police.
Police found him at a home on Grandview Street in Lewes after they learned Schenck was staying there with friends, he said.
Fournier said Schenck previously was living with his grandmother when police say he took her credit card and made various purchases at Walmart, Safeway, Royal Farms and Ruby Tuesday, where he last used the card Nov. 25, 2012.
Schenck was charged with two counts of felony theft and 61 counts of unlawful use of a credit card.
He was committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on $126,000 secured bond.

Add Additional Pets to Your PetSafe Pawz Away Pet Barriers. The PetSafe Pawz Away Extra Receiver Collar works with the PetSafe Pawz Away Outdoor Pet Barrier or the PetSafe Pawz Away Indoor Pet Barrier.
This dog collar is lightweight, waterproof and uses a progressive correction to train your pet. If your pet approaches an "off limits" area, will receive a mild stimulation. This stimulation will increase until your pet backs away from the area. If your dog returns to the forbidden area, the collar will correct him again, beginning at the lowest level. Your pet will soon associate this feeling with the prohibited area and stay away.

Very versatile with many options for the doggy correction mode. Vibrate,beeping I believe and the zapper mode for really unruly dogs, like mine (wife's dogs. a gift to me when got married). Anyway, I use the zapper mode most when they are barking at somethig for no particular reason. Shuts them up immediaty. Also, setup is a snap. Remote control suports 2 collars. GOOD STUFF !!!!!!!

Collar very large...huge...for smaller cat. I was not able to use.
Posted by Marci on Oct 22nd 2015
The collar keeps my dog away from the dining room table when we're eating. My mother (with Alzheimer) wants to feed the dog with her utensils. This collar keeps the dog away from the table and also away from couch and chair when she is trying to rest. I give it five stars.
Posted by Cathy Ginder on Jun 11th 2015
I am ordering maybe my 10th collar. I have to German Pointers, sisters, and they keep escaping. This product works really well at stopping that, except when they are playing, they often bite on each others collar. They break mostly the plastic buckle connection, sometimes the transmitter, so it breaks off. I wish this was offered in an old fashioned belt buckle style closure, I think it would work better for me.
Posted by Donna on Jan 1st 2015
It does work really well keeping and training my small 2 dogs from rugs and areas where they destroy things with poop, but collar transmitters only lasted 4 months, as device opened in half and even though I taped it, didn't work again. They are now back to their old habits, so I re-ordered another 2 collars, and this time, I'm gonna tape the device shut, so that this problem doesn't happen again.
Posted by AdmC on Dec 22nd 2014
Works great but the two 2032 batteries rapidly deplete and there is no warning of low battery except when your pet strays where they should not--I have another collar product similar but uses a small more conventional battery that lasts MONTHS while it seems this device uses up the juice in a week or two and while there is a switch to turn it off to save juice, one does not always remeber but the other collars I mentioned dot need to be turned of with similar technology
Posted by Gary Westman on Jun 18th 2014
I needed to re-purchase this product after 4 months since the cover on the battery compartment broke and would not screw back on.
Posted by Unknown on May 7th 2014
I have an 80 lb black lab....she will sit and take the shock without even flinching most of the time. Sometimes it will catch her just right and spook her, but usually it's about as effective and a bug bite. For my little 25 lb cockapoo it is perfect!
Posted by Unknown on Jan 6th 2014
We got the transmitter and one collar at first, and then needed another for our other cat. When it came everything seemed to be in order, but then we soon found out that a small part of the screw on back for the battery compartment was missing some plastic (looks like a small sliver broke off). Unfortunately, this was the part of the plastic that anchored that side in, and the battery was looser because of it. This meant the collar would only work when we were pushing the part in with our finger. We would have sent it back for another, but thankfully my father worked on it and managed to get it on tight enough. Its a good product, taught the cats where not to go within a day or two, but be prepared to send it back if it has some issues like ours did.
Posted by Keith J. Rowe Millington Tennessee on Dec 4th 2013
Easy to install. My advice to any one wanting to purchase this pet barrier is; if you have more than 1 dog, buy more than 1 collar. I thought I would go cheap and just purchase 1 collar although I have 2 chahuahuas. I ended up purchasing a second collar a couple months later. The barrier keeps our dogs out of our Grandson's bed room. Product works GREAT!

We covered four up-and-coming bands traveling to the fest from Canada earlier in the season. But there's just so much amazing talent coming from north of the (US) border, we didn't feel like previewing only four bands did the Canadian music scene justice. Hell, highlighting eight Canadian SXSW 2014 Showcasing Artists isn't enough to truly showcase musical diversity and skill of these promising young acts.
Lend your ears to the far out, lo-fi electronic sounds of Calvin Love, who makes good use of delayed guitars against colorful synth backdrops. The producer and songwriter hails from Edmonton, Alberta and released his first album, New Radar, in 2012.
RIYL: Gap Dream, Wild Nothing
Crank the bass up for this one! Churning out a bouncier electronic sound than his fellow countryman above, Kaytranada cleanly threads hip hop and R&B elements throughout his beats. The Montreal, Quebec-based DJ put out his first full-length album, Kaytra Todo, last year.
RIYL: Lunice, Ryan Hemsworth
Perhaps showing the incredible diversity of the Montreal music scene, the rough, punk rock intensity of Solids contrasts sharply with the smooth beats of Kaytranada above. The band's perfect combination of heavily-distorted guitars and pounding drums creates a solid wall of sound prevalent all the way through their newly released debut album, Blame Confusion.
RIYL: Yuck, Crystal Antlers
We're completing Four on the Floor's journey across Canada with Tory Lanez, a rapper from Toronto, Ontario who lets his quick and precise flow loose over booming, high quality production song after song. The young rapper has recently collaborated with Meek Mill, Kirko Bangz, and Dizzy Wright, as well as released a mixtape, Conflicts Of My Soul.
RIYL: Drake, Kirko Bangz
Keep up with the list of showcasing artists here.

After having to put our beloved cat, Missy down in October of 2012, we were heart-broken and nothing seemed to fill the void until we saw Kala's face on Petfinder.com. Her name then, was Nela. She was being fostered but it was feared she would never allow people to pet her. Something about the sweet little face told me she was just waiting for ME to come and get her. Within 1 day in my home, she was actively seeking my attention and within three days she was a real part of our family...Now she walks around purring for no apparent reason and she waits for pets and sweet words when we wake up in the morning.
