Inappropriate farting

On the 1984 MTV Video Music Awards I let one slip during my iconic performance of "Like A Virgin." It actually happened twice in the performance. The first one you can actually hear about a minute into the song. It was LOUD. The second was silent but deadly. I felt horribly for the next presenters who had to come up on stage. It was horrific, a combination of barbecue brisket, pinto beans, potato salad, boiled eggs and cabbage. I told poor Elton, Phil Collins and Don Henley to run for their lives.

A) Madonna would never eat barbecue brisket, pinto beans, potato salad, boiled eggs and cabbage
B) If she did cut an SBD, the last thing she'd do is tell anybody to run.

I had it happen on national television while I was stirring up some lobster salad--with a good quality mayonnaise--for some lobster rolls.
It was awful, one of those loud wet farts. A shart, in fact.

My partner and I were at Target a few nights ago. We had finished shopping and were headed back to the car. There was an older couple in front of us, maybe in their late 50s. No more than 10 feet in front of us, the man stopped (with his back toward us) and put his hands on his hips, bent forward and let loose with the loudest (boomiest is a better word for it) fart I have ever heard in my 47 years on this planet.
After he did it, he straightened up, said "Ahhhh!" and they kept on walking. I guess his wife was used to it, she didn't even bat an eye. A nearby lady and her kids were putting their purchases into their car and those kids thought it was the funniest thing ever. They cackled like chickens. The mom was half-laughing and trying to shush the kids. It was hysterical seeing how those kids reacted to it. The lady with the kids just looked as us, shot the older couple a look, shook her head and laughed.

I remember a great Aunt rising from the far end of the dinner table to go to the toilet, and letting one rip from one end of the table to the other and into the bathroom beyond. She was well over 80. We cut her some slack. But we smirked.

I told this story here years ago but it happened late at night in an elevator at Trump Towers when Cher and her entourage (2 men) stepped on. A sneaky snuck out and it stunk godawful bad. I was mortified and prayed they would think it was each other but their faces led me to believe they knew it was me. One of my few celebrity sightings and at lunch I had a sandwich with raw onions slices on it. Bad timing.

Courtesy of my partner (no, he was not the guilty farty)::
At the gym, some muscle mary was doing one of those "lie back on bench, raise and cross legs while doing flys" exercises. At the crucial moment of "flying", he let a wet one.
The bystanders applauded.

I was playing Trivial Pursuit with a couple of friends, the question was "what was the actor's name who played the captain of the Love Boat?". My friend said "I'll give you a hint, it starts with a Gavin" and with that he blasted this really loud fart that was quite beyond his control. For years we would all refer to farts as "Gavin's". "It smells like someone Gavin'd in here".
Just trying to type this has me laughing out loud.

This one is really gross. Years ago, my best friend told me that he hooked up with this hot guy and they ended up at a motel and were going at it sixty-nining and my friend said he never ever felt it coming on, it just blasted out of his ass, right in the poor guy's face. He said he was so embarrassed, the smell was god-awful. The guy/victim just politely laughed it off.
I guess he wasn't too grossed out, they're still together after 18 years.

I was my cousin's best man at his wedding. During the rehearsal, during a really quiet point in the ceremony, his wife-to-be let one slip. That fucker was loud and lasted a good 10 seconds (an eternity for her, I'm sure). Luckily it was only the rehearsal with 10-15 people present and not the actual wedding.
You're probably picturing her looking like Honey Boo-Boo's mom or something, but no, she's really pretty and blonde, sweet and classy. She was a little embarrassed but played it off well and made jokes about it. She's a great addition to the family, farts and all.

Last year the small company (40 people) I work for had a Thanksgiving luncheon. We all sat at our tables and one of the supervisors, a hoity-toity cunt on wheels that everyone hates, got up in front of the crowd to say a few words and lead the group in prayer. She said, "Everyone, please bow your heads." The room was dead silent and she let one rip. Her face turned beet red and she she tried to play it off and pretended like it didn't happen. Everyone was snickering and she was thoroughly humiliated.
Needless to say, she made a hasty exit after she finished her meal. We all laughed and joked about it for weeks. It couldn't have happened to a nicer person. LOL.

My sister was a first grade teacher. When sitting with a small group at the reading table, she would let out a silent but deadly one. Then she would sniff and say "Who did that"? The kids would all accuse each other then vehemently deny it. They never thought it might be their teacher.
My sister also liked to do that then turn to me with a shocked and disgusted look. She would then say "oh god, must you"? It was always in front of someone I didn't know well.

Holding farts in while on a date is SO HARD. Holding a fart in while engaged in a sex act, fully nude, is WAY HARDER. The most embarrassing for me was when I was lying on my back, legs in the air, while my super hot Italian muscle dude fuck buddy licked my balls. His live-in boyfriend was also on the bed with us. I accidentally farted in muscle dude's face, but he didn't seem to mind. I don't think any of us said anything--he just kept on lickin'.
Mortifying nonetheless.
I remember fucking another dude for what seemed like hours one night and him having to get up to "pee". Yeah, right. He was sitting on the toilet farting for like 3 minutes straight, letting out all that fucked-in air. The human body is really quite abhorrent.

I was convinced I was allergic to Safeway grocery store when I was a kid. EVERY time I went with my mother I would fart SO LOUD in the entry way. I couldn't help it. it would echo, and of course i'd laugh and laugh. and then she would yell at me because I had embarrassed her. she used to make me wait till I farted first, then I could walk in, but I would never have to fart until I was actually inside of the building.

I was on my first date with a guy I met in college in Texas. We were wildly attracted to each other and he asked me out. He took me to this little Mexican restaurant that had a reputation for being one of the best in the city.
I had an enchilada plate with refried beans, guacamole, and lots of cheese. Being from the North I had never eaten Mexican food. It tasted delicious but did not agree with my inner workings. While we were driving across town to see a movie, my tummy started rolling and making horrid noises. Fortunately, he had the radio on so he couldn't hear the symphony in my stomach.
I felt a severe and sincere urge to fart and was having hell holding it back. I was clenching my cheeks and trying to hold that puppy in. I just kept thinking, please God let us hurry up and get to the theater, I have to get out of this car! I was miserable.
At one point that thing just blasted out of my hole and was louder than God! I needed a bathroom... badly. Yes, it was a wet one. Wet like the great flood. Beyond a fart, beyond a shart. I fucking shit my pants. My date held back his laughter (I could tell he wanted to) and asked if I was okay. I just told him I needed a bathroom.
Our first date was a disaster, but he was great about it. Our second date was awesome. We were a couple for 10 years after that and we are still good friends. That was the most traumatic experience of my life. I have never touched Mexican food again.

In the middle of shopping, my nephew let out a KILLER fart, I mean it nearly peeled the paint off the store walls! And L-O-U-D!! People nearby were peeking their heads around the corners of aisles, it was so loud.
My mom was aghast, while I just giggled. But then my brilliant and adorable nephew turned to my mom and loudly chastised her: "GRANDMA! How could you? Soooo gross!"

I've got a seriously fuck up spine and I was going thru huge pain flair up and my pain management doctor wanted to give me an injection into my spine to try to stop it.
I have a lot of metal in my spine, put in during 6 surgeries to repair and support my spine, and because of all the metal in my back he couldn't directly inject into the area. He had to insert a needle up thru my sacrum and coccyx (tailbone) in order to get to the L4-L5 & L5-S1 area.
The needle on that thing was f-ing huge, at least 12 inches. At lease he gave me several shots of lidocain to numb the surface area, he also washed my tail bone with that brown disinfectant that's made for skin use, he told me he was about to stick me and then IT happened. The second he stuck the needle into my tailbone I started farting and didn't completely stop till until the procedure was done, about 5 minutes. Thank god they weren't smelly, or wet, kind but they were SO loud and smelled so bad. I have NEVER farted so loud or farted so long
I know they were medical professionals and not much gets to them, but I was mortified. My doctor was out of the room pretty much as soon as the procedure was done so I apologized again and asked the two nurses that were in the room if the farting was common. Figured with the needle going thru the bone of tail bone, the disc space of L5-S1 and L4-L5 that there might have been a nerve back there that got shot and my tailbone could control something. But of course they said no they had never heard of it happening.
A few minutes later when I was back in the recovery area I heard them tell the other nurses and laughing about it. I can't be too pissed, I know if it were me I'd probably tell my co-workers and laugh about it too.

Ever since I was a little girl, watermelon was always one of my favorite treats. I remember sitting on my grandma's patio many summer afternoons filling my cheeks and covering my shirts with the sweet juice-filled treat. During my pregnancy with Lola, it was one of the few things I could stomach during the earlier part, and later it became one of the few things that I found to be a source of refreshment. Each week, my husband would go to the store buy watermelon and cut it up into small bite sized pieces. I would eat it on the way to work, at work, and even during the middle of the night. Knowing how easy it was on my queasy stomach, I imagine many of the watermelon recipes I am featuring here today would have done the same – provided me with a refreshing treat that could carry me through the summer.
Now that Lola is older it has become evident that she loves watermelon too. We've already enjoyed it several times this season and look forward to eating more of it. Even so, I plan to try something new with what has become a seasonal staple. Take a look at 20 delicious watermelon recipes for you and your family to try this summer.

The pursuit of Happiness is a key component of the American Dream. It is a right we all enjoy in this country, but one which is often misunderstood. The Declaration of Independence declares the sanctity of the pursuit, not its outcome. It doesn't say we have a right to happiness, but instead, that we have the freedom and the ability to look for and find it. Said another way, in the United States of America, we all have the potential to follow our dreams.
And there's the rub. You can't pursue Happiness unless you know what will make you happy. And, you can't know what will make you happy unless you know who you are and what you have the potential to become. To my way of thinking, that's the definition of Happiness with a capital H—to uncover and experience the person you are destined to be. To achieve the fullest possible expression of your inherent gifts, your talents.
This view of Happiness is clearly tied to your work. It's not that other aspects of your life can't give you deeply positive feelings—what might best be described as Joy—obviously they can. But Happiness is different. Recent research indicates that happiness is a cognitive, not an emotional state. It occurs when we overcome a challenge we view as meaningful and worthy. In other words, we are tested in a way that produces our best efforts, that stretches us to perform at our peak and even beyond that point, beyond our own expectations of what we can do. And, the only place such challenges routinely occur is at work.
That reality brings me back to our current economic situation. I see it as a window of opportunity for you to realize your potential. For you to find the work that works for you. The kind of employment that enables you to excel. The jobs that will present you with meaningful and worthy challenges and thereby position you to achieve the excellence that will make you truly Happy.
In stronger economic times, such transitions are frenetic. Whether a move is voluntary or involuntary, we push as hard as we can to make the fastest possible shift from one employment situation to another. We don't want to lose a minute of what the good times can do for us, so we put our heads down and race from spot A to spot B. As a consequence, we give ourselves little or no time to think about whether we are doing the kind of work we should be doing in order to execute our pursuit of Happiness. Basically, we guide our career based on an assumption rather than on a conscious decision. And, with at least one study finding that over half of all Americans now daydream at work about doing something else, it's clear that those assumptions are often horribly wrong.
The bad news, of course, is that the current pace of hiring is much slower. The good news is that the current pace of hiring is much slower. That delay is your window of opportunity. It's your way to test and validate your assumptions or find them off-the-mark and change them. Taking the first step through the window is the hardest. In fact, there are at least two ways you can slam the window shut and never take advantage of it:
So, how do you do it differently? How do you climb through this window of opportunity? For starters, use the space you've been given in this lousy economy to lift your head up, not put it down. Raise your perspective. Why? Because for maybe the first time in your working life, you can. You have the space to look beyond the horizon you've traditionally accepted for yourself. The conventional wisdom is to describe this as an exercise in "thinking outside the box." I think it's better thought of as a chance to remove the handcuffs we consciously or unconsciously shackle ourselves with.
Here are the three most common handcuffs:
Why are these handcuffs? Because as out-of-place as it may seem in a country that prides itself on its allegiance to capitalism, the pursuit of Happiness is not an investment decision. It is something much more profound. Exercising the right to look for and find the meaningful and worthy challenges in your work is a spiritual commitment you make to yourself. It's not about dollars and cents, but about what makes the most sense for the person you truly are.
The pursuit of Happiness is your right to build a career in which you earn two paychecks: one measured in money and the other measured in fulfillment. To do that, however, you must only accept employment that enables you to express the unique gifts with which you have been endowed. I urge you to make that commitment. Right now. While you have the chance.
Thanks for reading,

WTF Wednesday: Furloughed Federal Workers Paid To Stop Other Feds Working
Let me get this straight. The government can't pay it's employees, but it can pay employees to prevent all the other unpaid employees from working?
WTF?? As a result of the government shutdown, many government run enterprises have also been shut down. Parks, museums and national parks have been closed and the employees told to stay home. (In what is pretty much an attempt to inconvenience you and I enough to get us to hate the mean politicians who can't seem to do their own jobs.)
I guess, when you're dealing with such an intense money shortage, you have to cut corners but national parks where you can just walk in or national, open air monuments? Really? The only way to keep people out is to pay guards to watch them. If they're being watched by guards, then why not just re-open the WTF-ing things??
If that wasn't stupid enough, check this out. It … the government … gets dumber. A privately owned inn in North Carolina was ordered to close because it sits on federal land. (It's not a monument or a national park, it just happens to be on or near one.) The government doesn't care, they forced them to close. The owner however, refused to close! (Good for him!!) So armed park rangers were sent in to force the guy to close and ordered to stand guard in front of the establishment and prevent anyone from approaching the inn and restaurant. Owner Bruce O'Connell says, were he allowed to remain open, he would have paid the government over $30k in October alone. (The rangers said they would remain there until they were 100% sure O'Connell wouldn't reopen. I wonder what that will cost.)
Instead of making money, our "broke" government is spending money to stop people from making it money. WTF??
Many others across the country are standing up to Big Brother as well and opening or working when they're told not to. Private citizens, like the WW II veterans I recently wrote about, have entered closed areas despite signs forbidding them to do so.
These "shutdown rebels" seem to be growing in number. What do you think about this? Should people ignore all this crap and provide the services they feel they should and/or visit the places they have a right to visit?

LOS ANGELES - The two Rialto men arrested in connection with the brutal beating of Bryan Stow will stand trial on the charges, a judge ruled Friday.
Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood are charged with mayhem, assault and battery for the March 2011 attack that left the Live Oak paramedic permanently brain damaged.
Stow, a San Francisco Giants fan, was beaten in the parking lot of Dodger Stadium after the Dodgers-Giants home opener. The 43-year-old father of two suffered serious head trauma and remains in a therapeutic facility, where he shares an apartment with two other traumatic brain injury patients.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge George Lomeli ordered Sanchez and Norwood held on the charges after a five-day preliminary hearing.
The violence drew scrutiny of stadium security and fan behavior.
The defense typically does not present a case during such preliminary hearings. Both men have pleaded not guilty.
The ruling came after the last witness, the sister of one defendant and the girlfriend of another, testified under a grant of immunity from prosecution.
Dorene Sanchez, Louie's sister who was said to be romantically involved with Norwood Thursday recounted the night of March 31, 2011, when Stow went to a baseball game and nearly lost his life. Sanchez never saw Stow and did not witness the beating, but her testimony was critical because it placed both defendants in the midst of a fight after the game let out.
She testified that one of the men ran to her car from a fight with blood on his hand, while the other man spewed profanity. Sanchez, who has a child with Norwood, also said neither man told her what had happened but she became suspicious when she later saw a TV report on the beating.
She testified that she waited at the car when the men went after some Giants fans after a verbal confrontation, but she denied she had egged them on and said she became alarmed when they returned.
"I was scared when they both told me, 'Let's get the (expletive) out of here,'" she said. "I had no idea what had happened until I saw blood on Marvin's hand."
She asked him about the blood and he told her not worry about it, she testified.
"What about your brother?" Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman asked.
"I didn't ask him anything," Sanchez replied.
However, she said she recalled him turning to his 10-year-old son and saying, "'You better not say anything about this to your mother.'"
Dorene Sanchez was originally arrested on suspicion of being an accessory after the fact but no charges were filed.

With Wall Street rolling out its bonus packages, most Americans have a simple response: Tax the big ones.
A broad majority in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, 73 percent, favors a direct, special tax on corporate bonuses over $1 million. That's far more than the support for two other notions – taxing banks themselves, or limiting the size of bonuses they can pay in the first place.
A direct tax on big bonuses has the advantage of majority support across the partisan spectrum, albeit to different degrees: Sixty-two percent of Republicans and 69 percent of independent are in favor, rising to 85 percent of Democrats.
Behind these views is plenty of public ire, with financial institutions continuing to take the brunt of the blame for the condition of the national economy. Seventy-nine percent of Americans blame the downturn on "banks and other financial institutions, for taking unnecessary risks," with nearly six in 10 saying they deserve a "great deal" of the blame. That's essentially the same as last fall – no slack in sight.
Still, despite the financial industry's unpopularity, plenty of people remain loath to involve the government in private enterprise. Americans divide evenly, 50-49 percent, on whether the government should try to limit the size of bonuses banks that have repaid their TARP loans can give to their top employees. There are big partisan and ideological differences here.
Also there's nearly an even split, 48-44 percent, on the notion of a tax on stock transactions by banks, again with sharp partisan breaks – 65 percent of Democrats in favor, falling to 35 percent among Republicans. (The administration's actual tax plan, announced after the poll began, turned out to be on bank liabilities, not stock transactions.)
The nation's big banks have been rolling out their employee bonus packages this week – hardly endearing figures to the rest of the public, given the nation's continued broad economic distress. The ABC News consumer confidence index is down sharply the past two weeks to very near its record low. And our ABC/Post poll finds the economy still far and away rated as the nation's biggest problem, with only 35 percent saying President Obama's policies have improved it.
That sort of discontent, as yesterday's Senate election in Massachusetts indicated, can be a powerful political force.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, declawed, and good with cats.
As far as we can tell, Freddy gets along with the majority of felines. He is just an all-around good cat who deserves a loving home after being left high and dry. Please consider adopting this friendly feline - he will provide you with countless hours of love and enjoyment!
Freddy, a Pascoag Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Pascoag, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Pascoag.

Video Transcript
Voice Over: Students in Mark Folta's biology class are getting a lot of things right these days. This is a living example of 21st Century Teaching and Learning going on today at Lakota East Freshman School. Technology is intertwined with traditional dissection labs. The project is a collaborate effort. Students interact with each other and Mr. Folta. It's a combination that works well for Trevor
Trevor, Freshman student at Lakota East Freshman School: The labs that we do, it's like a hands-on kind of activity. And you can get into what you're learning about instead of just hearing about it.
Voice Over: This lab involves students finding living organisms inside a golden rod plant. They use data to identify the parasite and track their findings to compare with other classes. Mr. Folta faces his students when he teaches and encourages interaction. He incorporates technology whenever possible including posting review games online for this student .
Trevor, Freshman student at Lakota East Freshman School: We're basically already in a world of technology if you can add to school where it's not usually there you can understand it betterbecause we can already understand the technology
Mr. Folta, Biology Teacher at Lakota East Freshman School: We have so much more to show them these days. The world wide web has really opened up a lot to teachers so that they can get more resources, more pictures, more videos to show students what we're talking about.
Voice Over: Deadline's loom for students and their mini production companies in the digital video class at Mariemont High School. Teacher Larry Goetz supervises projects in which students create videos, record school activities and performances, and even produce newscasts. Students say creative freedom allows them to learn more.
Courtney, Senior Student at Mariemont High School: It's a whole new way to learn things and actually remember them because it's fun. It's something fun you can do, it's not just a boring you know book report or something. You can actually make it come alive.
Voice Over: Mr. Goetz says the students take the skills they learn in his class and apply them to projects for other subjects. He says the mission of educators is prepare students for the future and this class teaches them about time management, team work, creativity, and accountability.
Larry Goetz, Digital Video Teacher at Mariemont High School: I don't think you can afford not to have some kind of class like this anymore because the kids, this is part of life. They do this everyday anyway. Why not give them some direction, show them the value of it. It's not just entertainment, it's actually a very important skill. It's really a mind set.
Voice Over: Blake, a Mariemont senior says the requirements of the class, completing projects from start to finish, communicating with colleagues, meeting deadlines, will be invaluable.
Blake, Senior student at Mariemont High School: The way that we're learning in here with definitely help in college especially with like, you're on your own in college. You've got to learn it all on yourself, read the books. It's not as teacher oriented as high school. Definitely think that aspect will help us in the future.
Voice Over: Precision and detail are critical in Brian Lien's Engineering Your Future Class at Princeton High School. Students here are designing a cell phone. It starts with isometric and graphic designs. Then the real fun begins with model magic as they shape their design in a true to scale prototype. It's the hands on work that makes the difference.
Ademkemi, Senior student at Princeton High School: It helps to retain the information. Learning from a book, you know it for that moment, but when you work hands on you can feel what you're doing. You have visual and you use your five senses to do what you need to do.
Voice Over: Engineering classes like this gives students a real taste of the different engineering fields. Students also can earn college credits. Princeton has a cooperative partnership with the University of Cincinnati. Online engineering lectures by U.C. professors are homework for these students so that class time is fully devoted to projects. Mr. Lien says he keeps his students motivated with creative labs.
Brian Lien, Technology Education Teacher at Princeton High School: Because it actually is a connective, they feel it they touch it, it goes into their long-term memory. When I test my students on just lecture material, and when I test them after we do a lab, their tests scores are so much higher after we do the lab work.
Voice Over: Unique sounds and smells fill the classroom at Winton Woods High School. This is music in society. It is a non-performance class that is a relatively new offering for teacher David Bell in his thirty-one career of teaching vocal music. He introduces not only music concepts but also world culture. And technology is playing a big role. Students sample the tastes of the Middle East and learn about it's music through a smart board presentation. Mr. Bell asks questions and students use their responders to click in their answers. The boar displays immediate results.
David Bell, Vocal Music Teacher at Winton Woods High School: There's a bit of sort of that peer pressure to not excel right now. And what this does is it gives them a safe way to express their prior knowledge that they have through the responders. And once they've staked out an opinion through the responder then it's easier for me to begin to draw them out on a more advanced level.
Voice Over: Mr. Bell also incorporates a word wall with vocabulary terms affiliated with music. Students created posters of the words to help recall the meaning.
Sequoia, Senior Student at Winton Woods High School: All students have different learning techniques. Like me I need to see both and hear. Some might just visually see it or verbally need to hear it. It helps because you get both of the sides so that way its going for all your students.
Voice Over: Its engineering in action at Wyoming High School. This is project Lead the Way, a satellite offered by Great Oaks. Students here take an introduce to engineering as well as principals in engineering class from an engineer. Teacher Ty Fitzgerald entered the teaching profession not to long ago after a successful career in engineering. He conducts his class just like in the real world. They have a group meeting to discuss group projects and then break off into teams.
Ty Fitzgerald, Project Lead the Way Teacher at Wyoming High School: If they're working on a project one person is responsible for, another person is responsible for another set of tasks, they have to put it together and they have to make it work. They have to have that team work and that's so important in industry. If you can't work in a team environment you just wont make it.
Voice Over: Steven, a senior, has his sights set on an engineering career. Today's project will go from the drawing board to the experimental stage. Students must build a ping-pong ball launcher using parts taken from an old robotic machine. The class groups students together in and also offers collaboration opportunities beyond these walls. Steven collaborated with Milford students in an online project to design a three dimensional coffee table.
Steven, Senior student at Wyoming High School: I'm a very visual and hands on learner so the more I can use my hands on objects and take them apart and physically see what they're made of and how they work, that helps me learn more how to be an engineer.
Ty Fitzgerald, Project Lead the Way Teacher at Wyoming High School: They're getting the communication skills that you need to be successful, you're getting the team work stills you need to be successful as well as the leadership skills you need to be successful when you get out into industry.
Voice Over: Powerpoint presentations, online assignments, and MP3 feedback are all part of what was once was a traditional literature class. At Milford High School teacher Betsy Woods works with her advanced placement literature students. Hannah is a senior working with classic literature but with a new modern twist.
Hannah, Senior Student at Milford High School: You can't get by without using technology no matter what setting in. We're still reading books, you're still opening books, you're still understanding the novels you've done in the past, but you have so many more resources when it comes to expanding and learning in different ways.
Voice Over: Ms. Woods utilizes wikispace.com as well as turnitin.com to give her students more opportunities for collaboration for papers and reports on assigned readings. The use of technology equipment certainly sparks interest for her students but the concepts of collaboration and creative freedom can be done with no equipment at all. She said students learn more by posting their work for the world to see and not just one teacher.
Betsy Woods, English Teacher at Milford High School: You're not the only source of knowledge in the classroom. You model learning more then you model teaching. Because we have the answers at our finger tips and we can go find them during the class period, it's a better way to teacher.
Voice Over: Before this class convened on the first day of school they met online for discussions about their summer readings. It was a chance for students to get know each other and see varying opinions.
Cameron, Senior student at Milford High School: I get to see the opinions of everyone else. People from all different walks of life and everything like that they've got different opinions then me. They notice things that I don't notice and I notice things they don't notice.
Voice Over: In the past collaboration meant cheating not it has an entirely new meaning and purpose.
Betsy Woods, English Teacher at Milford High School: Its important part of education today, the collaborative effort. And as far as cheating goes, I don't think it really goes there I think it's more about learning from each other.
Voice Over: It's not too early to start thinking about college in the Hughes STEM Program in the Cincinnati Schools. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. And those four areas are the focus for this new program. Allan Frecker teaches history but for this project the lesson is all about his student's future. The STEM program was created through a unique collaborative process involving Cincinnati schools, the University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati State, and corporate partners such as Proctor and Gamble, Duke Energy, and General Electric. The curriculum exceeds state standards and also goes an extra step to prepare students for careers of the future.
Allen Frecker, History Teacher with Cincinnati Schools: We're also looking at centering them towards the future in providing a better student who's more prepared for college and that student who has those types of skills when they get out of college they're going to be able to use in the work place.
Voice Over: Dr. Kelly Obarski job title is with U.C. but her commitment and passion is helping the students here at Hughes. She serves as the liaison between U.C. and Hughes to ensure students are getting what they need and staying on track.
Dr. Kelly Obarski, UC/OSLN Assistant Academic Director: Our goal is to create an environment where the students are in the communities and they're learning about careers, they're learning about jobs, about the 21st century skill that will propel them through college and into the workforce.
Voice Over: This hands on collaborative assignment began with campus visits to the University of Cincinnati and Cincinnati State. Teachers collected video and photographs of their experiences. Students then took what they learned about college and rolled it into a video. They're brainstormed ideas and storyboard concepts and then transformed their paper ideas into colorful moving images edited from the video and pictures. Terry says this kind of assignment helps him to visualize success. Also knowing that colleges are taking a vested interest in him makes a big difference.
Reporter: How does that make you feel, as a student, knowing you have that kind of support?
Terry, Freshman at Hughes STEM: To be honest, it makes me feel special because we basically are getting all the attention so it's alike a lot of success coming our way so it's gotten us in the right way.
Voice Over: The program intentionally sets a high bar for student achievement. When these students are ready to graduate, Hughes STEM High School will hold a strong reputation for developing future leaders.
Asheika, Freshman student at Hughes STEM High School: They will know where I came from. They will know what we're about and they will high expectations for us and we can live up to it and we will do better. It will make me do better because I know somebody is watching me.
Allen Frecker, History Teacher with Cincinnati Schools: The goal isn't what is the teacher want from you the goal becomes what do you want for yourself.
Voice Over: The 21st Century Student is...
Student: Open minded
Student: Efficient
Student: Tenacious
Student: Inquisitive
Student: Collaborative
Student: Reflective
Student: Creative
Student: Flexible.

text: Is it time for McNair to consider bringing in this guy, because our fundamental problem is failing to select enough good football players to compete with the better teams in the league - Rick Smith & Gary Kubiak aren't getting that done. I think Parcells is now available with the ownership change in Miami ? Deep South native Bob McNair can keep his black GM and continue to feel good about his affirmative action politics, all Parcells wants is power and money, he doesn't care about job titles. In other words Smith can continue to be the teams GM, except when it comes to personnel decisions. Parcells runs the Draft and hires the FAs. This means of course we go 3-4 defense and Kubiak is gone because Parcells wants no part of any ZB system, it'll strictly be power-drive blocking with his Oline and nobody is under 325 lbs.

- "Light, compact, comfortable, and easy to put on."
This harness is super light, compact, and has everything I need. I used this harness for Mt. Rainier, and it's perfect because i can fit this on the side pocket of my backpack. Once you take it out, it's really easy to put it on. Just wrap it around your waist and buckle! Other things I like about this is its minimal functions and the fast dry material. It's also very comfortable. The buckle is a little hard to adjust with gloves on but that's not a problem for me. Overall I love this harness.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

CRIME AND COURT ROUNDUP: July will feature some big decisions for the Supreme Court
July will feature some big decisions from Wisconsin's highest court on issues like showing photo I-D's to vote, and restoring at least some public union bargaining. The State Supreme Court is about to rule on several major cases, including whether the Republicans' voter I-D mandate from 2011 is constitutional. A federal judge says it's not, and the state will need to win its appeals on both the state-and-federal levels before the law can be brought back. The state justices must also rule on whether the G-O-P's Act-10 public union bargaining limits apply to municipal, county, and school district employees. State employees will have to follow Act-10 regardless. The Supreme Court will also decide whether same-sex couples will lose the domestic partner registry created by Democrats in 2009. It gives those couples about 40 percent of the legal benefits that married couples get, including end-of-life decisions. The justices will also decide whether it's legal for U-W campuses to ban people from their properties. That was after the university ordered student fee protester Jeffrey Decker to stay off all 26 U-W campuses. The Supreme Court normally saves its bombshell decisions for last. As of late May, Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson said the justices still needed to discuss three-fourths of the cases still facing them. They imposed time limits on their deliberations so they can get everything done.
It took almost a month to identify the second of two people found dead in suitcases near Lake Geneva. Police said it was because 19-year-old Jenny Gamez was never reported missing from her home state of Oregon. Her foster mother, Lorraine Ericksen, told reporters that Gamez lost touch with her family after she moved from her home in Cottage Grove Oregon to be closer to a community college. She had won a scholarship just before she disappeared, and Ericksen said she appeared to be turning her life around after she gave up her son to his father. Former West Allis police officer Steven Zelich is charged in Walworth County with hiding the corpses of Gamez and 37-year-old Laura Simonson of Farmington Minnesota. Prosecutors say homicide charges will be sought in the places where the women were killed -- Simonson in Rochester Minnesota, and Gamez in Kenosha County. They allege that Zelich met the women online, killed them when he met them, and hung onto their remains for months before they were found on a grassy roadside June fifth. Zelich's attorney, Travis Schwantes, has said that both deaths might have been accidents -- and they might have taken place during consensual sex.
Prosecutors said a Glendale man was apparently drunk when he shot-and-killed one of his sons and wounded another -- and he claimed he was bullied by his kids and his estranged wife. That's according to a criminal complaint filed yesterday against 57-year-old Robert Washington of Glendale. He's charged in Milwaukee County with reckless homicide for the shooting death of Robert Washington the Second, and reckless injury for the wounding of 15-year-old Wesley Washington. The shootings occurred last Thursday at the family's home. According to prosecutors, the elder Washington was drinking vodka while he watched his younger son play baseball. Later, Wesley knocked over his father while playing basketball, and the father was quoted as saying "You do that again, you ain't gonna wake up." Both were shot a little while later. Glendale Police quoted the defendant as saying his younger son tried bullying him "all the time." His wife Annette filed for divorce last fall.
Authorities in northern Wisconsin hope an autopsy will provide answers, after skeletal remains were found yesterday in a wooded area near Rhinelander. Oneida County Chief Deputy Dan Hess said a person walking in the woods saw the remains and called 9-1-1 around noon yesterday. The remains were in the town of Pelican near Lake Julia. Hess said the early word that was the victim was a man, he did not appear to die recently. He said his officers have no current reports of missing persons in the area -- and anyone with information about a possible missing man is asked to call the Oneida County sheriff's office.
The state Justice Department says it's almost finished investigating the death of a mentally-ill man shot by a Milwaukee police officer in a downtown park over two months ago. 31-year-old Dontre Hamilton was killed April 30th by a 13-year police veteran in Milwaukee's Red Arrow Park. Attorneys for his family have complained about the slowness of the investigation, and a lack of communication about the progress of the probe. Lawyer Jonathan Safran said that until yesterday, he didn't hear anything from the Justice Department for five weeks. Justice spokeswoman Dana Brueck said the investigation was more complex than others because the shooting happened in the middle of the day in a busy location -- and lots of witnesses had to be interviewed. A new state law requires an outside agency to investigate deaths that involve police officers. In many cases, the Justice Department is that agency. Milwaukee Police said a 13-year veteran officer was sent to Red Arrow Park to check on Hamilton, who was lying on the ground. The officer was said to have helped Hamilton up. When the officer patted him down, a scuffle ensued -- Hamilton beat the officer with his baton -- and the officer responded by shooting the man. Witnesses heard up to ten gunshots.
Authorities now say that a Stevens Point man who drowned near Wausau last Saturday was 49-year-old Vang Yang. He was swimming in a private two-acre pond in the town of Rib Mountain when he went under. It happened during a family gathering. Marathon County sheriff's investigators said alcohol was not a factor, and there was no evidence of any alcohol at the gathering. Yang's body was found about two-and-a-half hours after relatives called for help. The medical examiner's office ruled Yang's death as a drowning.
Families of three Wisconsin victims in a 2006 traffic crash linked to General Motors' faulty ignition switches have yet to decide whether to take a company settlement. Ken Rimer says the families will meet with their lawyer tomorrow, after G-M announced a compensation fund yesterday. Eighteen-year-old Natasha Weigel and 15-year-old Amy Rademacher were killed when their car stalled, veered off a road, and slammed into trees in rural Saint Croix County in far western Wisconsin. The driver, 17-year-old Megan Phillips, suffered brain damage. G-M has admitted that one of the girls died directly from the ignition problem, because an air bag in front of her had not deployed. Yesterday, G-M said all passengers in such crashes would be eligible for compensation, after refusing to compensate back seat riders previously. The three Wisconsin families have a lawsuit pending. Rimer says he'll need to know more before deciding whether to drop the suit and accept G-M's compensation. Amounts have not been disclosed, but company settlement administrator Kenneth Feinberg said families would know the offers before having to decide whether to take them.
A bear with an apparent appetite hung around the Olive Garden restaurant in Eau Claire late yesterday. W-Q-O-W T-V had a photo of the animal on its Web site. An employee saw the bear show up around 4:45 p-m. It hung around the parking lot for about ten minutes until a car almost hit the animal while crossing a street. After that, the bear ran off. Restaurant employees called police -- but there was no immediate word on whether authorities could find the bear.

writing a short story as described below. This story should be a minimum of 5 single space pages in length. Your story can take one of two forms: (1) describe the potential compromising of the security around a valued asset, or (2) describe the details of an investigation of a potential computer crime. The story should be broken down into the following stages:
For story type (1):
Act I - Here we learn about the particular asset that is being protected/attacked. We should be introduced to at least one good guy that is defending this asset. We should also get an overview of the types of defenses that are in place to protect the asset.
Act II - Here we are introduced to the bad guy(s). We should learn a bit of their motivation for wanting to acquire the asset. We should also get a broad overview of the plan to compromise the security surrounding the asset.
Act III - The attack begins. Detailed steps should be given as the bad guy(s) execute their attack plan and how the security system/good guy(s) are reacting to each step of this attack. The action in this act should end as the attackers encounter an unexpected problem that threatens their success.
Act IV - In this final act, we begin by solving the dilemma encountered at the end of Act III. The action then completes as the final stages of the attack unfold, resulting in either the successful attainment of the desired asset, or in a failed attack. Plot twists are welcome.
Epilogue - In this short ending, we examine what happens after the action is over. Do the bad guys enjoy the spoils of victory, or suffer the consequences of defeat?
For story type (2):
Act I - Here we learn about the particular computer crime being committted. We should be introduced to the bad guy(s) as they go through the final stages of commiting the crime.
Act II - Here we are introduced to at least one good guy who is participating in the investigation. We should learn the basic details of the case as our good guy begins the investigation.
Act III - The basic investigation takes place in this act. Detailed steps should be given as to how the evidence is gathered and the trail of the criminals is uncovered. This act should end as our investigator encounters a difficulty that endangers the success of the case.
Act IV - In the final act, our good guy overcomes the difficulty at the end of the previous act. The action then culminates as the analysis of the investigation is completed and the final steps of the case, including the trial, are presented. Plot twists are welcome.
Epilogue - In this short ending, we examine what happens after the case is closed. Do the bad guys enjoy not being convicted, do they prepare for the prison term that awaits them, does the good guy get rewarded or fired for his part in the case?
In addition to having a story which is hopefully entertaining, the main focus is that it is technically sound, demonstrating that you have understood things to date. You should make use of as much material as possible from the topics we have covered so far in class. Think about plots you have seen in movies or read in books for ideas, but don't base your story entirely on some other fictional work.

Objects & Variable Art
The Objects & Variable Art Conservation Lab provides for the preservation, technical study and research of all curatorial collections at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Staff are actively involved in a wide variety of projects across the Museum's campus – from the storage and exhibition of artworks within the main building to the outdoor sculptures surrounding it.
Defined broadly within the museum context, an object is classified as a three-dimensional artwork (for example, it is not a painting, print, or a textile). However, since many contemporary artworks defy the definition of being an actual object, the IMA has developed the concept of variable art to define an artwork that possesses changing observable state. Such artwork can involve variable presentation formats, time-based fluctuations or other types of variables, for example:
- Installation or site-sensitive artwork with artists' instructions for implementation
- Electronic or media-based art with updating platforms and devices
- Conceptual art, ephemeral art, or art made with unsustainable materials
Current research by conservators in Objects & Variable Art Conservation Lab includes the investigation of interior channels in African Songye power figures through x-ray radiography, the development of novel ways to document conservation work and the execution of communication strategies for conservation projects utilizing new and social media applications. Staff provide research that extends beyond the technology and structure of artworks to include artistic intent and execution as it relates to the preservation of contemporary art. In this way, they work alongside the Contemporary Art Department, to lead the Variable Art Team, an interdepartmental team that investigates and develops museum practices for the production, installation, maintenance and repair of variable artworks.

Common Mistakes when Pitching
Ever wonder what the most common miss/hit golfswings are when pitching a golf ball? It's when you top it, when you skull it, or when you hit it real, real thin and it runs over the green. I'm going to tell you why that happens.
A little review of the setup: ball in the middle of your stance, your weight left and handle forward. But here's the first mistake most of you make.
When the club starts back, you start back. Now 70% of your weight isn't on your left leg. And if you do that, it's very difficult to get the club underneath the golf ball.
So, the most common golfswing is when you slide backwards and you hit the ground behind it, or you top it or skull it.
Now, here's the next most common mistake that I've seen over the years. Everybody thinks that to hit a great pitch shot you have to have this beautiful, high followthrough.
As a matter of fact, that is not true for pitching the ball up in the air.
It's a very pretty golfswing, but so many of you have been sold on the idea that you have to follow through real high.
To stop from skulling or topping the ball, weight in the middle, handle left, weight on your left side, swing the arms up and swing the arms down in the downswing.Up/down makes the golf ball go up.
Now, many golfers hit it fat. This is caused by the club being to vertical. If you go too vertical, you'll wind up chopping the floor.
After you get all set up, make sure you're not leaning too far over on the left side. A little weight on your left side, but the trick is to swing the golf club up on the inside. And that will give the golf club a little better angle into the back of the ball.
Try these golfswings the next time you're out. I promise you it'll help you.

Common Laboratory Equipment
Frequently Asked Questions...
answer question below!?
We've been assigned a lab in which we have to determine the percentages by mass of two solids in a mixture. The two solids in the mixture are sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate. Available to us are common laboratory equipment, as well as 1 M hydrochloric acid and 1 M sulfuric acid. In addition, we also have the pure solids themselves.
I've tried to do some chemical equations (specifically, taking each solid in the mixture and then reacting them with either HCl or H2SO4), but I'm still relatively clueless as to how to isolate each component within the mixture.
Also, is bicarbonate similar to carbonate in that it reacts with an acid to produce carbon dioxide, water, and a salt?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
The easiest thing to do would be to weigh a sample of the mixed chemicals, then dissolve them in water. Next, add sufficient HCl to bring the pH of the solution to around pH 1-2. This will convert all the sodium bicarbonate to sodium chloride via the reaction:
HCO3- + H+ -> H2O + CO2(g)
The NaCl will not react with the HCl, so it's just a "bystander" in this reaction.
Now you have a solution of NaCl, perhaps with a small amount of dissolved carbonic acid (H2CO3). Evaporate this solution to dryness, and reweigh the solids, which at this point will be all NaCl.
The mass of the sample before reacting it with HCl is the sum of the masses of NaCl (m_NaCl) and NaHCO3 (m_NaHCO3):
M_init = m_NaCl + m_NaHCO3
Each mole of NaHCO3 that reacts forms one mole of NaCl, so, the mass of NaCl that is produced by reaction with HCl is:
where MW_NaHCO3 and MW_NaCl are the molecular masses of sodium bicarbonate (84.007 gm/mol) and socium chloride (58.442 gm/mol), respectively.
The mass of the dried solids after the reaction is then:
M2 = m_NaCl + (m_NaHCO3/MW_NaHCO3)*MW_NaCl
M2 = m_NaCl + (84.007/58.442)*m_NaHCO3
M2 = n_NaCl + 1.437*m_NaHCO3
Subtract the mass of the sample after reaction from the mass before reaction:
M2 - M1 = (n_NaCl + 1.437*m_NaHCO3) - (m_NaCl + m_NaHCO3)
M2 - M1 = 0.437*m_NaHCO3
(M2-M1)/0.437 = m_NaHCO3
This gives you the mass of sodium carbonate that was originally in the sample. The percentage by mass of sodium carbonate is then simply given by:
100 * m_NaHCO3 / M1
The percentage by mass of NaCl is then 100% minus the wt. percent NaHCO3. Similarly, the mass of NaCl is just M1 minus the mass of NaHCO3.
There are many other ways one might do this, but this seemed to be the simplest. One just needs to be careful to recover all the dried sample after the reaction (probably best to do the evaporation in a pre-weighed beaker, so the solids don't need to be transferred. One also needs to be sure that the solids are completely dry.
You could use the sulfuric acid to do the same thing, but if you add excess acid, sulfuric acid is harder to evaporate to dryness. NaSO4 is also a more complicated salt than NaCl (see source below), forming a stable hydrate at low temperatures.

32GB Black. Three network.
PAC code all sorted (old number moved), synced to iTunes/backed up etc.
3G data is blisteringly fast now (O2 was dog slow) and great 3G reception/speed in all sorts of places where it struggled before on O2. (Well done Three.)
Data is unlimited now.
AirPlay performance as good as ever. (Never had any problems there anyway.)
Display quality is fantastic.
Now paying £5 less per month than old (O2) contract and £4 less than equivalent new O2 contract. (Although O2 could only offer 1GB data.)
Much of my happiness is down to better contract/better 3G reception/faster 3G speed/unlimited data etc. but the iPhone 5 is certainly the icing on the cake.
I know i'm going to get a 'beating' for liking my new iPhone but I don't care
Note: This should in no way be interpreted as criticism of any other type, or brand, of phone as I have never tried them.

On the money: Ahold eyes margin recovery in Netherlands
By Michelle Russell | 23 August 2012
Ahold's shares fell amid pressure on margins
Dutch retailer Ahold has said it expects to see its margins recover in the Netherlands after conceding they were "weaker than expected" in the first half.
Ahold this morning (22 August) booked an increase in first-half profits but its shares fell amid pressure on margins and the company's caution over future trading.
Earnings climbed 8.2% to EUR530m (US$665.6m) and operating income was up 3.2% to EUR742m on last year. However, underlying operating margin was 4.3% from 4.5% in the prior year period. In the Netherlands, underlying operating margin was 5.4% in the second half, compared to 6.2% last year.
Ahold CEO Dick Boer said it was "clear" the retailer was "not happy" with the retailer's performance in the Netherlands in the second quarter but insisted the company was working on improvements.
"Our team is working on more or less the recovery of some of the elements we have seen decline in the second quarter and margins is one of those," he said.
Margins at Albert Heijn were impacted by price investments, increased promotional activity and an "unsuccessful" European football championship campaign, the retailer said.
Petercam analyst Fernand de Boer said he was "disappointed" with the margins in the Netherlands.
"We understand that the consumer sentiment is weak and there is a need for price/promotions to drive sales. However, despite the market share gain so far, we consider the return on the investment as limited, but also realise that this is difficult to judge on a quarterly base."
Ahold chief De Boer, however, said he expects to see a "gradual" margin improvement in the coming quarters.
"I am always confident that for the business in the Netherlands 6% [margin] would be a more normal one. With the inclusion of Bol.com, we are on track to be close to 6%," he told analysts on the firm's earnings call.
Ahold acquired online retailer bol.com in February from private-equity firms Cyrte Investments and NPM Capital for EUR350m.
He added: "As the market becomes more stabilised ... and in the coming years as we see a little bit more confidence in this market, it might help stabilise the margins. We are also one of the lowest cost retail operations in Europe. We are a very efficient operator here in the Netherlands.
"It was a weaker than expected quarter in the Netherlands but in the US we expect margins around 4% and in the Netherlands close to 6% for the full year."
Separately, Boer said Ahold was in negotiations with manufacturers in the Netherlands over potential price increases on the back of increasing commodity costs.
"We weren't able to pass through cost inflation fully in the second quarter," he said, adding: "We continue to focus on negotiations with our manufacturers in the Netherlands. We will go back to manufacturers to discuss the increases or potential increases with them."
In the US, Boer said Ahold is likely to see more of an impact on commoditised products such as meat and milk in the wake of the drought, which has seen corn prices spiral.
The CEO said it is "hard to predict" what its cost price strategy will be for 2013 at the present time.
"During the last part of the year we will see what is going to happen and more into 2013 we will see what comes out. We managed it over the last year quite well."
Boer said he foresees consumer confidence will remain "on a low level" for the remainder of the year, but nonetheless sounded an upbeat note on Ahold's performance going forward.
"We are clear we are well-positioned to deliver on our strategy and outperform in the markets we are present. We will continue to deliver a growing market share... we have invested well in new initiatives and we are very pleased with the development of our online business."
Ahold's share price dropped 3.83% to EUR10.04 at 15:11 today.

As heart health month winds down, Healthy Hollywood has tips for taking care of your ticker. If you think heart disease is just for older people or men, think again.
Rosie O'Donnell, Toni Braxton and Miley Cyrus have all spoken publicly about their heart health issues. At 20, Ms. Cyrus has a condition that causes her heart to beat faster than normal.
According to the American Heart Association (AHA), heart disease is the single most common cause of death among women, regardless of race and ethnicity. The weight loss program Jenny Craig has teamed up with the AHA to help improve heart health. "Jenny Craig is encouraging Americans to take control of their health by adding walking into their lifestyle and make better eating choices," adds Jenny Craig CEO Dana Fiser.
Valerie Bertinelli and Sara Rue are a few of the famous ladies who have gotten on healthier lifestyle track, thanks to Jenny Craig. "It's important to incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables into every meal because these foods lower the calorie density of meals," says Dana, who adds, "For example, mixing non-starchy vegetables, such as tomatoes, broccoli and peppers, into a pasta dish will lower the calorie density and enlarge the portion."
Fiser says to eat breakfast every day to keep blood sugar levels stable. And, get active. "Physical activity is a key component to weight loss success and keeping your heart healthy. Increasing activity levels will not only help burn calories, but it will also reduce stress. Try integrating physical activity into your daily lifestyle so that you're exercising without even knowing it – run around with your children, park further away from the door or take the stairs. Another fun way to incorporate activity is by joining a Heart Walk and taking a stand in the fight against heart disease."

Hearty Stuffed Potatoes Recipe
I came up with this recipe because I wanted to add flavor to plain baked potatoes. I combined several ideas, experimented and ended up with this stuffing. It's so hearty that these potatoes can be a meal by themselves, accompanied by a tossed salad or fruit salad. -Margaret Allen, Abingdon, Virginia
- 2 large baking potatoes
- 1/4 pound smoked Polish sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 1 tart green apple, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (8 ounces) sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1. Bake the potatoes at 400° for 1 hour or until tender. In a medium skillet, brown sausage for 2-3 minutes. Add apple and garlic; cook over low heat for 3-4 minutes or until apple is tender. Add sauerkraut and caraway; cook 4-5 minutes longer or until heated through. Stir in sour cream.
- 2. To serve, cut an "X" in the top of each potato. Fluff pulp with a fork; spoon sausage mixture over potatoes. Yield: 2 servings.

Kai Ryssdal: We were talking with David Gura yesterday from our Washington bureau about some of the procedural things that're going to have to happen before there's a substantive vote on a deficit plan in the House. That chamber started debate on one of those things today, a bill called Cut, Cap and Balance. Cut the deficit, cap spending and put a balanced budget amendment in the Constitution.
You've got to do it. Most states do. Should the Feds? Here's David.
David Gura: Here's a bit of what we heard on Capitol Hill today:
Jeb Hensarling: Everyone has to balance their budget except for the federal government?
Well, 49 states do. But should the U.S. government take a cue from them?
Norm Ornstein: It's not easy at all for states to balance their budgets, and when times are bad in the country, it can cause enormous problems.
That's Norm Ornstein. He's a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank. When things get tough, states go to the federal government for back-up.
Ron Snell is a fellow with the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Ron Snell: One of the reasons that states are able to maintain balanced budgets is that, in the worst of a crisis like the one we've been through, there's federal money to help them out.
The cuts Congress is considering could wreak havoc in some states. They count on the federal government to help with unemployment benefits and Medicaid. Richard Briffault teaches at Columbia Law School. He says some states game the system.
Richard Briffault: Many states, even when they do have balanced budget requirements, meet their balanced budget requirements by all sorts of financial tricks.
They'll sell off assets and put off payments. But Ron Snell says the U.S. government couldn't do that.
Snell: The federal government has a responsibility that states don't have. States don't have to worry about the national economy.
Norm Ornstein says Congress has voted on balanced-budget amendments before.
Ornstein: It's so seductive. And it's seductive to vote for, because you're wrapping yourself in the dual cloak of the Constitution of the United States and fiscal rectitude.
And in the end, you're voting for something that could spell trouble in the future -- long after you're out of office.
In Washington, I'm David Gura for Marketplace.

Alexander East – Jest 4 Me
The new EP by Alexander East
Available now on Beatport.
Jest 4 Me
Artist: Alexander East
Alexander East has been a friend and creative force in my life since the late 90s. The first record of his I heard was "Hazy Shade Of Love" pressed as a 10″ inch on Underground Construction. A year after I head that single, I became the A&R for Afterhours Records. I remember getting a demo of 7 tracks from Alexander that blew me away so forcefully, the next day I walked into the label manager's office and told her we had to sign every track on the demo. She asked if I thought we'd recoup our money and I responded that it did not matter – whether the project went gold or didn't sell a single copy we, as a self respecting House Music label, had to put it out because it was magic. Through the years, Alexander and I have built a relationship as friends, fellow musicians and like minded creative beings. He has continued to send me music and I have released several of his projects on labels like Gourmet and Simple Soul. We collaborated on my first Audio Soul Project album for NRK and my second one released here on Fresh Meat. Back in 2000 Alexander sent me a song called "Jest 4 Me". I loved it instantly. We originally released it on Afterhours pressed as a single sided vinyl 12″ with a black and white photo on the A-side and no text on the label. In 2001 we asked Derrick Carter to remix the song; he accepted turning in my favorite remixes he has ever done – Derrick took magic and made from it more magic. I own several copies of Alexander's original version of "Jest 4 Me" and Derrick's remixes. I have never stopped playing the song in my DJ sets.
A few months ago, while surfing the web, I realized the original and Derrick's versions of "Jest 4 Me" are not available in any shops. After a quick conference between the crew, we at Fresh Meat decided to re-release this classic. We reached out to AE and DC acquiring both their blessings and got to work, putting together a digital release. So, for your music consuming pleasure, we present the original version, both of Derrick's released mixes and the unreleased Derrick Carter Club all lovingly re-mastered. Music like this has kept me excited about House for the last 20 years. "Jest 4 Me" gets fresher with every play. Thanks AE. Thanks DC.
