Other than a sunburned nose and bald spot – my dear, sweet, late mother always lectured me about sunscreen and a hat – I'm not sure how much I gained from Virginia Tech's second open scrimmage of the spring practice season Saturday.
But here are a few observations and hunches:
* Quarterback Logan Thomas, second-team All-ACC last season, will be fine when he's throwing to front-line receivers Marcus Davis, Dyrell Roberts and D.J. Coles. Roberts was the only one of the trio who played Saturday, and he was slowed by a cranky hamstring.
So to no surprise, Thomas had pedestrian stats for the second time in as many scrimmages, completing 9-of-23 passes for 91 yards and four touchdowns and two picks.
"I think pretty good," quarterbacks coach Mike O'Cain said of Thomas' effort. "It's hard. You're down there at ground level, and you can't see everything developing, but I think for the most part, he made good decisions.
"Again, timing on some things is not good yet, and that's for a lot of reasons. We just haven't worked with a lot of these guys enough. Marcus didn't practice. Dyrell's practicing, but he's not 100%. Then you've got a bunch of guys he really hasn't thrown the ball to much at all. The timing is not good, but overall, I think he played pretty well."
Davis is expected back soon from a hamstring, while Coles sits out the spring after knee surgery. Oh, and let's not forget Thomas is operating behind a very inexperienced line.
* Conor Goulding made all three of his field goal attempts, from 42, 27 and 25 yards, but Ethan Keyserling has a much stronger leg. He made a 44-yarder and pushed a 32-yarder wide to the right.
"He's started working on the field goals, and I'd say he's probably the leading contender for a kickoff guy right now," coach Frank Beamer said. "And so I think he's probably got the strongest leg overall of anybody out there. …
"The only thing is, we've got to work the middle of those goalposts. He's over on the edge a little bit too much. But he's had a good week. In Friday's practice, he hit some good punts. He was good on his kickoffs and then got in there and competed on field goals."
* The day's two best hits belonged to safety Detrick Bonner and cornerback Antone Exum.
Bonner crushed receiver Kevin Asante as he attempted to catch a slant from Trey Gresh, causing a bobble that safety Kyshoen Jarrett stepped in to intercept.
"That's a great move for us," defensive coordinator Bud Foster said of shifting Bonner and Jarrett from cornerback. "We've improved our athletic ability in our range at safety. The big question mark was, how are these guys going to tackle? As you saw today, they're pretty physical."
Foster believes Bonner is playing faster and more instinctively than Jarrett because of previous playing time, but said, "they're both plenty good enough."
Exum's jarring tackle came on a reverse to receiver Demetri Knowles.
* Some other numbers: True freshman tailback J.C. Coleman gained 16 yards on 14 carries with a long of 14. That means his other 13 carries netted 2 yards. Yikes.
Bonner, linebacker Chase Williams and end J.C. Collins led the defense with six tackles each. Bonner's five solo tackles were a scrimmage-high.
Williams, a redshirt sophomore is getting more time at outside linebacker this spring because returning starter Tariq Edwards in out after leg surgery.
"I think Chase is really, really improved," Foster said. "Obviously he's getting a lot of snaps against quality people, and he's healthy for the first time really. … I still think down the road his best position will be (inside).
"He can play both because, obviously from his family background he's got a great football IQ, a great mindset. … He showed up today a lot. He's a good blitzer. He's a big, strong, physical kid."
Williams is the son of former New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, implicated in that franchise's bounty scandal.
"I've texted Gregg and … I left one message," Foster said. "That's private deal right now for him and obviously his family. I let him know, 'Hey, we're thinking about you.' Because that's a tough situation right there.
"Chase has handled it very well I think. We've talked briefly, but it is what it is and let's move on."

The kids at Hit Box got in touch over the weekend to show us this video of their custom fight stick in action. And as someone who sucks at fighting games, I am interested.
The hit box replaces the traditional layout of stick on the left, buttons on the right with an all-button configuration. How does it work? As the video above shows, the buttons switch out analog stick control with the digital input of a button, which has the added benefit of making it a lot easier to string together special moves and combos.
It looks like learning how to use one takes a little training, but once you get the hang of it you'll be ripping off fireballs like it was nobody's business.

Next: Tracking your habits, Previous: Closing items, Up: Progress logging
When TODO keywords are used as workflow states (see Workflow states), you
might want to keep track of when a state change occurred and maybe take a
note about this change. You can either record just a timestamp, or a
time-stamped note for a change. These records will be inserted after the
headline as an itemized list, newest first1. When taking a lot of notes, you might
want to get the notes out of the way into a drawer (see Drawers).
org-log-into-drawer to get this behavior—the recommended
drawer for this is called
LOGBOOK2. You can also
overrule the setting of this variable for a subtree by setting a
LOG_INTO_DRAWER property.
Since it is normally too much to record a note for every state, Org mode expects configuration on a per-keyword basis for this. This is achieved by adding special markers '!' (for a timestamp) or '@' (for a note with timestamp) in parentheses after each keyword. For example, with the setting
(setq org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO(t)" "WAIT(w@/!)" "|" "DONE(d!)" "CANCELED(c@)")))
To record a timestamp without a note for TODO keywords configured with '@', just type C-c C-c to enter a blank note when prompted.
You not only define global TODO keywords and fast access keys, but also request that a time is recorded when the entry is set to DONE3, and that a note is recorded when switching to WAIT or CANCELED. The setting for WAIT is even more special: the '!' after the slash means that in addition to the note taken when entering the state, a timestamp should be recorded when leaving the WAIT state, if and only if the target state does not configure logging for entering it. So it has no effect when switching from WAIT to DONE, because DONE is configured to record a timestamp only. But when switching from WAIT back to TODO, the '/!' in the WAIT setting now triggers a timestamp even though TODO has no logging configured.
You can use the exact same syntax for setting logging preferences local to a buffer:
#+TODO: TODO(t) WAIT(w@/!) | DONE(d!) CANCELED(c@)
In order to define logging settings that are local to a subtree or a single
item, define a
LOGGING property in this entry. Any non-empty
LOGGING property resets all logging settings to
nil. You may
then turn on logging for this specific tree using
#+STARTUP keywords
lognotedone or
logrepeat, as well as adding state specific
settings like
TODO(!). For example
* TODO Log each state with only a time :PROPERTIES: :LOGGING: TODO(!) WAIT(!) DONE(!) CANCELED(!) :END: * TODO Only log when switching to WAIT, and when repeating :PROPERTIES: :LOGGING: WAIT(@) logrepeat :END: * TODO No logging at all :PROPERTIES: :LOGGING: nil :END:
[1] See the option
[2] Note that the
LOGBOOK drawer is unfolded when pressing <SPC> in the agenda to
show an entry—use C-u <SPC> to keep it folded here
[3] It is possible that Org mode will record two timestamps
when you are using both
org-log-done and state change logging.
However, it will never prompt for two notes—if you have configured
both, the state change recording note will take precedence and cancel
the 'Closing Note'.

Seasonal re-run alert! Some things are worth repeating…..
Has someone in your family asked Santa for a dog or puppy this Christmas? Even The Grinch would have to agree that there's no better way to start the New Year than with a new best friend. When deciding to get a new dog or puppy, though, it is important to consider the best time to introduce her into the family. Most importantly, make sure the recipient actually wants a dog and is willing and able to accept the responsibility and expense for her care and training. A dog or puppy is not a gift that can be easily returned if it doesn't fit.
The holidays are a noisy and busy time. The new arrival will need some quiet and stability "Quiet" and "stable" are not words usually associated with Christmas. "Chaos" describes it a little better. There are unusual smells, sights & sounds, and strangers coming and going. Remember that, when a new dog is brought home, even the new human is a stranger. It is better to wait until a quieter time so the new dog can begin to bond with the human the second she comes through the door. With so much going on during the holidays the pup will not know who to look to.
A dog or puppy can still be given as a Christmas gift. But give it as an I.O.U. to be redeemed after the holidays. There are all sorts of things that can be put under the tree that represent the new arrival. Have Santa's elves wrap a framed picture of the family member-to-be. Give a gift certificate for training classes or private lessons. You can wrap a crate, bowls, bed, leash, collar, food, treats, chew toys, and books on positive training. By having these things ahead of time the recipient will be all set up and ready to make the new arrival's transition into the family a smooth one.
Please make sure that the gift-giver gets the dog from a reputable breeder, rescue group or shelter. PLEASE do not buy a puppy from a pet store. The puppy is less likely to be emotionally and physically healthy and you will be contributing to the dreadful puppy mill industry.
By waiting until after the holidays the new friends will have fewer distractions as they get to know each other. If the new dog comes into the home after the dust settles she and her new guardian will have the quiet introduction to each other that they will both need to get started on their life together

Sidebar to the article To Err is Human: Using Science to Reduce Mistaken Eyewitness Identifications Through Police Lineups by Maureen McGough
Eyewitness testimony plays a crucial role in the American criminal justice system. However, like any process relying on the
integrity of human memory, eyewitness testimony is imperfect. The American Judicature Society study found that even when lineups
were conducted using procedures shown to lead to fewer mistaken identifications, witnesses identified a "filler" 12.2 percent
of the time. The courts must therefore strike a balance between allowing the introduction of eyewitness testimony that can
be crucial to the prosecution's case and protecting defendants from unreasonably unreliable evidence.
The Supreme Court has long held that it is up to jurors to evaluate eyewitness testimony and make their own judgments as to
its credibility. However, the Court has also held that the Constitution's Due Process Clause requires preliminary judicial
inquiry into the reliability of eyewitness identification if law enforcement created unnecessarily suggestive circumstances
during the identification. In Perry v. New Hampshire, the petitioner asked the Court to apply the same principle — that identifications
made under suggestive conditions require preliminary judicial inquiry — when happenstance renders the identification setting
In Perry, a New Hampshire police officer responded to a call that an African American man was attempting to break into cars
in a nearby lot. When the officer asked an eyewitness to describe the man, she pointed to Perry — the only African American
man standing in the lot next to a police officer — and identified him as the man in question. Perry's arrest followed. The
out-of-court identification was introduced at trial and Perry was found guilty of theft.
In its October 2011 opinion, the Court held that the introduction of this out-of-court identification did not violate the
Due Process Clause. The Court said that the determination of the credibility of the testimony in question should be left to
the jurors and declined to put what it deemed new legal limits on the use of questionable eyewitness testimony at trial. The
Court also opined that Perry's argument would open the door to judicial preview of most — if not all — eyewitness identifications.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor was the lone dissenter. Although the majority held that the crucial, common factor in relevant Court
precedent was that police arranged a suggestive interview, Justice Sotomayor countered that the suggestive nature of the interview
itself — not the circumstances that led the suggestive nature — was the key. She believed that the majority opinion did not
adequately consider empirical evidence showing mistaken identifications as the single greatest cause of wrongful convictions
in this country. She also highlighted studies showing that eyewitness recollections are highly susceptible to distortion and
that jurors overestimate the accuracy of eyewitness identifications.

Texts From Hillary Clinton, a Tumblr that imagined the Secretary of State smacking down fools by way of smartphone, may have set a new speed record for the lifecycle an internet meme. The Tumblr went up, went viral, went big media, and then ended within a week after Clinton herself entered a submission, making it literally impossible for the blog to top itself any longer. Unless the internet changes its ways in the near future, this record will likely be topped by the end of the year, but at least one legacy of the whole experiment will live on. The whole thing neatly demonstrated how much Clinton's reputation has morphed in the past four years, turning her from the frumpy mom figure to an icon of D.C. cool.
The Tumblr founders can't really take credit for Clinton's image rehabilitation, since the joke doesn't work unless the audience already has an image of the Secretary as the badass boss lady. No, this process has been going on for years, and really, there's no reason to believe that Clinton herself has been consciously managing it. It seems more to be a combination of Clinton shining in a role that puts an emphasis on her skills as a policy maker and the projection of the hopes of thousands of liberal politics geeks who look at Clinton's time as Secretary as an example of the kind of calm, competent governance they want from the Democrats. It's pleasing to fantasize about being Secretary Clinton, gliding around the globe effortlessly, charming foreign dignitaries while wearing sensible black suits, sipping coffee while reading the latest news from the Hill on your phone, glad to be above all those petty partisan politics.
What makes it remarkable, of course, is that a mere four years ago, Clinton was seen as embodying everything tired and uncool about the Democrats. Obama fans continually compared Clinton unfavorably to their candidate. The popular internet meme back then was a dueling pair of websites: Barack Obama Is Your New Bicycle and Hillary is Mom Jeans. The former still lives on today with entries such as, "Barack Obama took off when he heard you weren't coming" and "Barack Obama bought you a new puppy." Hillary is Mom Jeans has disappeared, however, sent to live with Grand Funk Railroad and fanny packs—other ideas that seemed relevant at the time but kind of stupid now.
Of course, if reflecting back to 2008, it's hard not to lay part of the blame on Clinton's feet for the terminally uncool image she had then. In a bid to win over middle America, Clinton deliberately went for the church grandma image, trading in her New York-professional wardrobe for pastels and cracking corny jokes with her husband in campaign ads. At times, her campaign seemed to have leftover trauma from Bill Clinton's 1992 run, where she was pressured to pat his hand in public and brag about her cookie recipes in order to quell fears that she might just be a feminist.
In her column about the image rehabilitation, Maureen Dowd mistakenly assumes that Clinton's image shift reflects an actual change in Clinton's personality. Dowd quotes Jonathan Darman of Newsweek saying, "The speed with which she's embraced it suggests something has really changed in her."
The problem with that argument is that Clinton's current image of the HBIC isn't a new thing. Clinton's devoted fans have always seen her in this light. In February 2008, Tina Fey invoked the same image of Clinton portraying in Texts From Hillary Clinton with her famous "Saturday Night Live" rant. Sitting by a picture of a fashionably dressed Clinton, Fey declared, "Bitch is the new black." Even though it wasn't Clinton herself who said it, the moment had a gleeful third wave feminist air of transgression about it, evoking of other hip feminist stunts like naming a magazine Bitch or riot grrrls writing "slut" on their bodies and daring you to have a problem with it.
Even among those who preferred Obama, there was a sense that the "real" Hillary Clinton was closer to the picture Fey painted in her monologue, and not the down-home soccer mom image Clinton embraced to win over older voters in the Democratic primary. That's why her reputation rehab has been so seamless and effective, because the image of her in a black blazer and glasses refusing to suffer fools just seems like it's her natural home.
Of course, the fact that Clinton isn't competing openly with a male politician makes it that much easier for fans, either long-standing or newly minted, to project their fantasies of cool-headed female power onto her. One thing Dowd get right is that Clinton has more "permission" to be beloved when she's subordinate to a man. If she stepped back out and competed directly with a man for power, would the image of calm-and-cool Hillary be replaced with tedious stereotypes about shrill, grasping women? Or are we finally closing in on the day when women can have power fantasies equal to men's, with mediating them first through some formal subordination?

A new citizen group called Charlottesville Open Government Alliance has formed to raise funds for and support a legal effort to stop the Ragged Mountain Project. Read more about the lawsuit below.
Sign the petition to Stop the Illegal Ragged Mountain Dam Plan!
On January 17, 2012, Charlottesville City Council voted 3-2 to approve a highly controversial cost-share agreement and a land transfer, and approval to build the new Ragged Mountain dam to its full original height essentially giving up hundreds of millions of dollars in city assets.
On March 23, Charlottesville resident (and immigration lawyer) Stan Breverman, filed a lawsuit claiming the agreements were approved illegally. Breverman contends that the agreed to leases for land and water rights are essentially a sale and therefore, according to City Code, a referendum of the people is required and according to the Virginia State Constitution a supermajority of Council is required for approval. Read more here.

is a group of local citizens concerned about the environmental, financial, and social implications of the 50-year Community Water Plan for the Charlottesville Urban Service Area. We believe that there has been incomplete and misleading information about the plan.
In addition, new studies commissioned since the adoption of the plan has revealed significant new information that contradicts the information on which the plan was presented and permitted.
We feel that our elected officials have the fudiciary obligation to consider all this new information and modify plans for expansion based on the most recent and best information available.
How to insure an adequate water supply for the "Urban Service Area" - namely the city of Charlottesville and Albemarle County's "urban ring" in the event of another drought of record (like that of 2002) anytime in the next 50 years.
The Charlottesville-Albemarle area has an abundance of water. The Rivanna River alone could supply all of the daily water needs into the foreseeable future. With three reservoirs serving the urban area, and a decreasing demand for water, there is no threat of a water shortage today, even in a drought.
However, many residents remember with anguish the drought of 2002, for its severe water restrictions. Even though 2002 is considered as the worst in record, our community still had more than 100 days of water storage left at the time the drought ended. Furthermore, in 2002 before the drought, we were using 15% more water on average than we are today. Due to conservation technology, water demand is decreasing across the country.
The Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority (RWSA) commissioned a "Demand Analysis" in 2004 to project how much water the community will need in the year 2055. That study looked at data only through 2001 and disregarded the pending impact of the 1992 Energy Policy Act that mandated low-volume, high-efficiency plumbing fixtures. The 2004 study estimated a demand of 19.8 mgd, up from 11.2 mgd in 2001. Factoring in a mere 5% conservation goal, they adjusted the demand projection to 18.7 mgd by 2055.
In the last decade water use in the Charlottewville-Albemarle area has decreased dramatically, despite a 12% rise in population. This is largely due to the federal Energy Policy Act of 1992 that set mandatory conservation standards for high efficiency toilets, showerheads and faucets manufactured after 1994. It is anticipated that there will be a 50% reduction in the water used by these three fixtures alone. The water savings will likely be much greater though as other fixtures such as washing machines are replaced with high efficiency models and even greater innovations in HE fixtures come on line.
This is playing out locally, as we observe that the urban community is using 26% less water than the Demand Analysis projected. Factoring in actual water use data since 2001 - and, without considering future advances in conservation, we conservatively estimate our urban community will need no more than 14.5 mgd by 2055.
RWSA and the proponents of the Community Water Plan propose to reconfigure the reservoir system from three moderately sized reservoirs to one large reservoir that will flow under I-64.
The plan includes:
The Citizens for a Sustainable Water Plan propose to restore the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir to as near its original capacity as possible.
Current estimates for the RWSA Community Water Plan are in the range of $143 million ($280 M with financing).
The Alternative Plan is estimated to cost less than $70 million ($110 M with financing).
Compare various alternatives to the plan in this matrix of costs and impacts.

Don't let the Fashion Police know I said this, but fashion can be pretty ridiculous. It can be absurd, extravagant and just plain silly and in the big scheme of things—especially when there are much more important and disconcerting headlines making news—trends are nothing but a blip in pop culture history.But fashion sure is fun, and on days or weeks when you need a little lift-me-up, a bright frock or a cheery accessory can add pep to your step. Here are some happy style tips for kids because smiles never fall out of fashion.
Say Cheese
According to Robert R. Provine, the author of Laughter: A Scientific Investigation, babies tend to begin smiling between 3 and 4 months and thanks to grinning pacifiers and tween-friendly accessories, a lifetime of smiles is promised. Smiley faces might make you feel old—chances are, you wore them as a kid—but that friendly yellow face is as warm and comforting as an old friend.

Walk the Talk
Send good vibes out into the world with statement-making T-shirts decked out with positive messages and confidence-building sayings. It is the fashionable way to pay it forward and as Oprah Winfrey once said, "The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude."

Sign Language
The peace sign, which first appeared in 1958, is as ingrained in kids' fashion as hippie-style denim and funky tie-dye, but its message for harmony remains the same for Generation Z. The simple and bold symbol speaks volumes and becomes fashion-friendly in vibrant colors for girls and sweet designs for the tiniest peacemaker.

Heart to Heart
Designers agree: Love is all you need. Doodled on notebooks and carved into trees the world over, the symbol of love warms up the heart and is a subtle reminder of what makes the world go round. Kids can show their love with just about everything from cozy heart print sweaters and accessories to retro-inspired heart-shaped sunglasses.

Intellectual Property Rights and Standard-Setting Organizations
93 Pages Posted: 31 Aug 2003 Last revised: 14 May 2014
Date Written: April 1, 2002
The role of institutions in mediating the use of intellectual property rights has long been neglected in debates over the economics of intellectual property. In a path-breaking work, Rob Merges studied what he calls "collective rights organizations," industry groups that collect intellectual property rights from owners and license them as a package. Merges finds that these organizations ease some of the tensions created by strong intellectual property rights by allowing industries to bargain from a property rule into a liability rule. Collective rights organizations thus play a valuable role in facilitating transactions in intellectual property rights.
There is another sort of organization that mediates between intellectual property owners and users, however. Standard-setting organizations (SSOs) regularly encounter situations in which one or more companies claim to own proprietary rights that cover a proposed industry standard. The industry cannot adopt the standard without the permission of the intellectual property owner (or owners).
How SSOs respond to those who assert intellectual property rights is critically important. Whether or not private companies retain intellectual property rights in group standards will determine whether a standard is "open" or "closed." It will determine who can sell compliant products, and it may well influence whether the standard adopted in the market is one chosen by a group or one offered by a single company. SSO rules governing intellectual property rights will also affect how standards change as technology improves.
Given the importance of SSO rules governing intellectual property rights, there has been surprisingly little treatment of SSO intellectual property rules in the legal literature. My aim in this article is to fill that void. To do so, I have studied the intellectual property policies of dozens of SSOs, primarily but not exclusively in the computer networking and telecommunications industries. This is no accident; interface standards are much more prevalent in those industries than in other fields. In Part I, I provide some background on SSOs themselves, and discuss the value of group standard setting in network markets. In Part II, I discuss my empirical research, which demonstrates a remarkable diversity among SSOs even within a given industry in how they treat intellectual property. In Part III, I analyze a host of unresolved contract and intellectual property law issues relating to the applicability and enforcement of such intellectual property policies. In Part IV, I consider the constraints the antitrust laws place on SSOs in general, and on their adoption of intellectual property policies in particular. Part V offers a theory of SSO intellectual property rules as a sort of messy private ordering, allowing companies to bargain in the shadow of patent law in those industries in which it is most important that they do so. Finally, in Part VI I offer ideas for how the law can improve the efficiency of this private ordering process.
In the end, I hope to convince the reader of four things. First, SSO rules governing intellectual property fundamentally change the way in which we must approach the study of intellectual property. It is not enough to consider IP rights in a vacuum; we must consider them as they are actually used in practice. And that means considering how SSO rules affect IP incentives in different industries. Second, there is a remarkable diversity among SSOs in how they treat IP rights. This diversity is largely accidental, and does not reflect conscious competition between different policies. Third, the law is not well designed to take account of the modern role of SSOs. Antitrust rules may unduly restrict SSOs even when those organizations are serving procompetitive ends. And enforcement of SSO IP rules presents a number of important but unresolved problems of contract and intellectual property law, issues that will need to be resolved if SSO IP rules are to fulfill their promise of solving patent holdup problems.
My fourth conclusion is an optimistic one. SSOs are a species of private ordering that may help solve one of the fundamental dilemmas of intellectual property law: the fact that intellectual property rights seem to promote innovation in some industries but harm innovation in others. SSOs may serve to ameliorate the problems of overlapping intellectual property rights in those industries in which IP is most problematic for innovation, particularly in the semiconductor, software, and telecommunications fields. The best thing the government can do is to enforce these private ordering agreements and avoid unduly restricting SSOs by overzealous antitrust scrutiny.

The Crisper Whisperer: Two Smart, Gorgeous Cookbooks for Vegetable Lovers
Cook through your crisper surplus with ease.
Get the Recipe
As the "mostly plants" approach to eating edges its way into the popular mindset, it's been a kick to see vegetable-heavy cookbooks by well-known authors springing up from the verdant ground of the major publishing houses. These two new books (one very new, one a rock star from 2010) are among my favorites in this category. Oddly, both are written by former editors of major food magazines, and they have titles similar enough to be easily confused. Once you crack the covers, though, they're quite different—and each offers its own value to vegetable enthusiasts. In the event that you can't keep the names straight, might I recommend that you get your hands on both?
Fast, Fresh & Green, by former Fine Cooking editor (and current editor-at-large) Susie Middleton, is packed with practical advice for bringing out the best in vegetables. The book is cleverly arranged by cooking method—from quick-roasting to hands-on sautéing to grilling to gratin-baking. Each section begins with an explanation of how the technique works, a chart of vegetables well suited to it, and a "foundation recipe" that lays out basic principles and tips from Middleton's years of experience as a vegetable guru.
Middleton's deep love for vegetables hasn't been a secret for years, but nowhere is it more passionately displayed than in the pages of this beautifully conceived and gorgeously photographed book. Despite the book's title, its recipes are not particularly designed for speed—though they are pleasingly straightforward. If getting home-cooked meals on the table fast is your game (and who doesn't play that game sometimes?), take a look at the book that follows.
Weeknight Fresh & Fast, written by former Bon Appétit food editor Kristine Kidd for Williams-Sonoma, isn't technically a vegetable cookbook. But with creative, vegetable-driven meals organized by season, it's hard not to love this book if you love vegetables. True to the title, Kidd's recipes are well within the do-able range for weeknight dinners, but with impressive variety to inspire busy cooks to break away from their same old same-olds. Each section opens with cooking strategies relevant to the season at hand and ideas for simple side dishes and desserts to complement the featured mains. There's also a section in back with eminently practical tips for stocking the pantry, selecting fresh foods for quick cooking, and making the most of your meals.
The attached recipe, from Kidd's book, relies more heavily on pantry staples (in this case, Indian curry paste) for flavor than many other recipes in the book. But in terms of good nutrition and big bang for your time-and-effort buck, it's representative of what the book has to offer.

Trailer FrenzyA special place to find the newest trailers for movies and TV shows you're craving.
Fresh on the heels of the expanding Spider-verse, Sony has released a new international trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and it's caught a great deal of new footage in its web. There's more focus on character than the first trailer, more humor, more and better looks at the villains, and some Aunt May wackiness.
Overall, it makes the movie look significantly better than the U.S. trailer did. Still no glimpses of the eleventy-billion villains rumored to be in the movie, though.

IMLS Invites Civic-Minded Techies to Hack Agency Data
Agency participates in first ever National Day of Civic Hacking
The first National Day of Civic Hacking will take place in communities across America—and at the White House—on June 1 and 2, 2013. The event will be the largest ever to bring together citizens from around the country to work with local, state, and federal governments—as well as private sector organizations—with the common goal of improving their community through technology. The Institute of Museum and Library Services will join other federal agencies in presenting national challenges that citizen hackers will tackle at more than 90 events across the country.
This event will bring together techies, entrepreneurs, do-gooders, activists, and others to collaboratively create, build, and invent tools using publicly-released data. For example, civic hackers are behind phone apps that provide important up-to-date information on public transportation schedules, they have created apps that allow people to report dangerous potholes to their local streets department, and they have helped local food shelters identify food excess and shortage in order to redistribute accordingly.
National Day of Civic Hacking is a public-private-people partnership, and it is backed by the White House through the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). Twenty federal agencies have joined the charge including the Institute of Museum and Library Services, NASA, the Census Bureau, HHS, FEMA, the National Archives, Department of Labor, and the Department of Energy.
As part of the event, IMLS will provide two challenges, one relating to public libraries and another relating to museums. The public library challenge will ask participants to use data from IMLS annual public library data collection efforts to develop tools that will help allow citizens and others to explore public library data in new ways. The museum data challenge will ask participants to build tools that help enrich IMLS national museum data collection efforts using administrative data from the MuseumsCount survey.
Participants can access information about the library and museum challenges and data sets at the hackforchange.org website.
"Libraries and museums are centers for civic engagement in communities across the country. We encourage them to join us in this first ever National Day of Civic Hacking by hosting events and by using their own in-house expertise to rise to the challenge with new civic hacks that address community needs," said IMLS Director Susan Hildreth. "We can't wait to see what kind of useful tools the nation's online citizenry can create with IMLS data."
To date, more than 80 cities in 32 states, as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, have events registered. More than 700 individuals have reached out to help organize, support, or sponsor an event. The goal is for the National Day of Civic Hacking to take place in all 50 states and associated territories through about 100 events. After June 2, the White House will showcase successful hacks from the event.
To find an event near you, visit the hackforchange.org website. For more information about IMLS challenges, please contact Justin Grimes, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Intel is the national sponsor of the event and the operations team is led by SecondMuse includes Code for America, Innovation Endeavors, and Random Hacks of Kindness.

Given the tragic events that have taken place over the past few weeks, I am often asked the question, "What is wrong with people? Have they lost their minds?"
My standard reply is, "Yes, some people have lost their mind, and unfortunately don't want to take the time to find it."
My reply is certainly not meant in a joking manner, it is merely to get individuals to really think about the question and to understand why they are asking it. I know that most people do not understand how certain horrible events can happen, and even harder for us to understand is how a fellow human being could be responsible for the end result of those events.
Nonetheless, my not-so-thought-provoking answer to the original question that was asked, "Have some people lost their minds?" is yes and no. No, most people have not lost their minds, though some may act like they have to avoid taking any responsibility for their actions. However, yes, some people have lost their minds due to a severe mental illness.
So the real question to ask here is: "Should most of the people who have not lost their mind and do take responsibility for their actions be punished because of those individuals who avoid taking responsibility for their actions or who are mentally ill?"
My answer to that question would be a resounding no.
Some Americans have decided the answer to many problems we now face as a country is to not only punish those individuals who do not act responsibility, but to also punish those who do act responsibly.
I am certainly not saying that I am "anti" or "pro" guns, alcohol, welfare, etc. However, I will say that I am "pro-responsibility."
Unfortunately, we have gotten away from holding individuals accountable for their choices, thus leaving them without responsibility for their behaviors. Just because someone kills innocent people with a gun does not mean that the gun is responsible for killing, no more than alcohol is responsible for killing people. It is the drunk drivers who are responsible, as it is the person holding the gun who is responsible for killing.
Same premise goes for the "fiscal cliff" we are about to be pushed over. Why should I be responsible for having to pay more taxes because I work hard every day, and sacrificed to put myself through college, only to be told that I now must take on more responsibility (by paying higher taxes) for those individuals who chose not to work ("chose" being the operant word).
Irresponsible people who use guns and alcohol that kill others is certainly not the same as being pushed over the "fiscal cliff" and being killed financially. However, I am using these points to help others understand how important it is to be "pro-responsibility." Because if we are not holding a person responsible for their choice of behaviors, we may one day wake up not having a choice, because that choice has already been made for us.
So please, if you have lost your mind, take the time to find it and act responsibly.

PlantsOnWalls erected the Aquaponic Vertical Vegetable Garden at James Snidle Gallery. Water is recirculated through the panels from the tank below. Goldfish create the fertilizer needed by the vegetable garden. The balanced system produces oxygen as well as organic herbs and vegetables.
The tower is made from 9 - PlantsOnWalls Full 12-Pocket Vertical Garden Panels that were threaded together with picture wire to form a triangle. The panels were attached to galvanized pipe and placed over a 36" Stock Tank. A fountain pump recirculates the water through the felt panels. The water wicks into the roots of the plants. Drip trays at the base of the panels direct water back into the storage tank.
The Aquaponic Vertical Vegetable Garden is viewable from the street corner of 10th and Bryant, across from Costco, in SOMA San Francisco. Watch it's progress as we plant seeds and experiment with various types of garden plants throughout the summer.

VANCOUVER, Wash. - The new Bruce Willis movie "Looper" opens this weekend, in which Willis' character is sent back in time to kill himself.
And while most scientists say time travel isn't possible, a Washington attorney claims he's done it dozens of times as part of a secret Cold War project.
"I have physically traveled in time," says Andrew Basiago, an attorney in Vancouver, Wash. "We have - we did over 40 years ago."
Now Basiago is on a mission - to reveal what he calls a 40-year government cover-up - of Project Pegasus - where he says he was teleported back and sideways in time, dozens of times.
"I have the whole story, I have hundreds of facts," he says. "I can tell you what personnel were at what locations where and which travel device was being used."
And his time travel wasn't recent - it's when he was a kid.
"I entered the program officially in the fall of 1969 as a third grader, age 7," says Basiago.
He says he was one of 140 kids, 60 adults - chrononauts, including his dad, who he says joined him on his first jump.
"My dad held my hand, we jumped through the field of energy, and we seem to be moving very rapidly but there was also a paradox and we seemed to be going no where at all," he says.
The TV show "Fringe" aired a similar scene two years ago. A coincidence?
Paradoxes, unscientific claims, unbelievable stories and encounters on Earth and Mars - including meeting Barack Obama when the president was a kid.
Basiago also says he time-traveled six times to the Ford Theatre on the day President Lincoln was shot - but he didn't see it happen. He also saw President Lincoln on another famous occasion, he says.
"In fact, during one probe, the one to Gettysburg, the Gettysburg Address, I was dressed as Union bugle boy," he says.
That's right - he was at the Gettysburg Address. He says a famous photo taken that day proves it. The picture shows a bugle boy who he says is him. It's the only visual evidence he provides for any of his travels - nothing else.
"I was physically at Gettysburg," says Basiago.
He says his time travel experiences show that teleportation as protrayed on the "Star Trek" series is all wrong.
"No, in fact if you had just arrived via quantum teleportation, the Star Trek method of teleportation, you would have collapsed as a dead person," he says.
Basiago weaves his tale with such conviction, he's either a psychopathic liar, a lunatic - or the fastest-thinking science fiction writer on Earth.
"A tunnel was opening up in time-space just like a soap bubble being blown by a child," he says. "And when that bubble closed, we were repositioned elsewhere in time-space on the face of the Earth."
Some would say Basiago is still living in a bubble, but he's put his professional reputation at risk claiming time travel isn't science fiction - because he did it.
It was hard for KOMO News to confirm any of Basiago's claims. Still, he says many out there say they believe Project Pegasus was real.
The video won't play for me. Bummer.

BERLIN- Trying to build on a highly successful run by several of its teams in the District 8 playoffs last year, the Berlin Little League will open district tournament play tonight in several divisions.
The Berlin Little League will be well represented in All-Star competition across the Lower Shore over the next week or so as teams in several divisions compete for district titles and the opportunity to advance to the state tournament. Last year, Berlin's true 11-year-old All-Star team hoisted the first District 8 banner won by the local team in nine years and went on to advance to the state's Final Four before bowing out.
The 11-year-olds swept three games to win the District 8 banner and went on to capture the Section 1 title to advance to the state tournament in what was a special two week run for the local team. The other Berlin Little League teams enjoyed successful runs last year and hope to build on that momentum as they prepare for the district tournament that gets underway tonight.
For example, Berlin's 11-12 All-Star team reached the district finals and was nearly able to raise a second district championship banner before falling in the title game in a walk-off home run. Berlin's 9-10 team reached the District 8 title game last year before falling to West Salisbury, while the Senior League team also fell in its District 8 championship game to East Wicomico.
All of the teams will have the opportunity to get back to their respective District 8 championship games starting tonight. The Berlin teams will compete in the "Pool B" tournament along with Delmar, East Wicomico, Pocomoke and Willards. The Berlin teams open tournament play tonight on the road against East Wicomico and will play Delmar, Pocomoke and Willards in succession next week.
The top two teams from the pool will advance to the District 8 semifinals along with the top two teams from the "Pool A" tournament. Pool A includes Crisfield, Fruitland, Princess Anne, Snow Hill and West Salisbury. The District 8 semifinals will be held on July 16, with the championship games scheduled for Tuesday, July 17.

Ellen DeGeneres was busy hosting the 86th Academy Awards on Sunday night in Los Angeles. Not only did she keep the laughs coming throughout the award show, but she also set out to make history.
DeGeneres wanted to break a record for the most retweeted photo. So how did she go about doing so? She took a selfie with as many A-listers as she could fit into the frame.
Those in the photo included Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Jared Leto, Lupita Nyong'o Kevin Spacey, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, and more…
Within seconds of posting the photo to Twitter, the social media site was having technical issues. Not even 25 minutes later, the photo had already been retweeted 442,912 times and was named a favorite more than 350,000 times.
According to HollywoodLife, a photo of President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama taken shortly after his inauguration used to hold the record with more than 500,000 retweets.
DeGeneres' announced on the show that the selfie had set a new re-tweeting record.

Editor's note: Go to the Cargill website for a full list of products being recalled.
(CNN) -- Cargill Meat Solutions Corp. has announced for the second time in less than six weeks a voluntary recall of ground turkey products after tests found they were contaminated with a strain of salmonella bacteria that can prove fatal.
"That's one of the challenges and frustrations about trying to get one's arms around a naturally and randomly occurring bacterium that exists throughout the environment," said Mike Martin, director of communications for the company in Wichita, Kansas.
"It is frustrating but it strengthens our resolve to also do more to find additional methods and measures that are going to further reduce the potential for pathogens that can cause food-borne illnesses."
The latest recall, of 185,000 pounds of ground turkey meat, was announced Sunday for products produced August 23 and 24, and 30 and 31 from the company's establishment in Springdale, Arkansas.
No illnesses have been linked to the current recall.
The previous recall was one of the largest in history, affecting 36 million pounds of ground turkey meat produced at the plant between February 20 and August 2. In all, 2 million pounds of the tainted meat were recovered and buried in a landfill.
Federal health authorities said the August recall was associated with an outbreak of multi-drug-resistant Salmonella Heidelberg, which killed one person and sickened 111 others in 31 states. After the outbreak was discovered, the company suspended production of ground turkey products at the processing facility for eight days and instituted stricter production processes, Martin said.
In the wake of the August recall, antibacterial washes were added and "the most aggressive sampling and monitoring program in the industry" was put into place, Martin said.
But federal health officials took a sample on August 24 and found the same Heidelberg variant of the bacteria, one that is resistant to a number of antibiotics. A second sample taken on August 30 came back with a presumptive match, he said.
"We know it came in with the birds," he said. "We're looking at the entire supply chain back to, obviously, bird farms."
He added, "We understand that people expect their food to be safe when they purchase it, and we are going to do everything we can to ensure that's the case."
But the ubiquity of the bacteria means there could be similar recalls in the future, he said.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service recommends meat be cooked to an inner temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 Celsius), a temperature that kills bacteria.
Infection with the bacteria can cause people to develop diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection.
The sickness usually lasts four to seven days, and most people recover without treatment. But, in some cases, it can cause severe diarrhea and require hospitalization. If the infection spreads from the intestines to the bloodstream and then elsewhere in the body, the bacteria can prove fatal, according to public health experts.

Hey Everyone! We have a new revolutionary sweetener to share with you today, which I feel is going to take the health movement by storm!
Ingredients:- Erythritol, Monk Fruit Extract
All-natural and All-purpose
Lakanto® is a no-calorie sugar substitute with a taste you'll love! It's a lot like raw sugar, but with one big difference: its zero calories and zero glycemic index won't affect your blood sugar levels.
Lakanto® can be used just like regular sugar – it adds delicious sweetness to coffee or tea, baked goods, fruit salads and much more!
Originally introduced to Japan in 1996 by SARAYA, Lakanto® has sweetened the lives of millions of health-conscious Asian consumers and is the number one natural sugar substitute in Japan.
Cut the Calories – Not the Taste!
Unlike bland, powdery sweeteners, Lakanto's® golden granules resemble natural, unprocessed sugar. It has a mouthwatering aroma and a delicious flavor, with no aftertaste.
Lakanto® is made from natural ingredients and contains no colors, preservatives or additives of any kind
100% Natural, Vegan Ingredients
Lakanto® is a proprietary blend of two unique ingredients, Erythritol and Monk Fruit (Luo Han Guo). Erythritol is a sugar alcohol produced through the fermentation of non-GMO certified corn. It exists in many foods such as grapes, mushrooms, cheese, wine and beer.
The other ingredient – high purity Monk Fruit (Luo Han Guo) extract – is what makes Lakanto® so unique. Grown mainly in the Guilin Mountains in southern China , this prized fruit has been used for thousands of years, earning it the nickname, "The Longevity Fruit."
Monk Fruit (Luo Han Guo) is often used as a sweetener on its own, but due to its intense sweetness – 300 times that of sugar – it is impractical and difficult to use.
In 1996, using a patented process, SARAYA became the first and only company to successfully integrate Monk Fruit (Luo Han Guo) into a tabletop sweetener, creating a delicious one-of-a-kind product as sweet as sugar. Lakanto® also lacks the bitterness often associated with Monk Fruit (Luo Han Guo)-based sweeteners.
Sugar-free Cooking Made Easy
Since Lakanto® has been formulated to match the sweetness of sugar as closely as possible, you don't have to change your recipes. It's easy to measure and replaces sugar one-to-one.
Lakanto® does not absorb moisture, even with high heat and humidity so it won't harden with age.
Safe for the Whole Family
Every member of the family can enjoy Lakanto's® great taste without worrying about calories.
The New "Gold Standard" for Sweeteners
Lakanto® brings you everything you need from a sugar replacement – zero calories, zero glycemic index, equal sweetness to sugar, wide range of use and delicious flavor – in a golden, all-natural package!

Women in Secret Service Scandal Not Tied to Terrorism, Cartels
(WASHINGTON) -- Investigators have found that nine of the Colombian women who were drinking and partying with Secret Service personnel last month in Colombia were paid for their services, Congressional sources tell ABC News.
The Secret Service has now interviewed most of the women, who range in age from 20 to 39, and none were found to have any ties to terrorist organizations or drug cartels.
That information has allayed fears on Capitol Hill that the wild night of partying by Secret Service personnel in Colombia compromised the President's safety, or national security.
The scandal unfolded when 175 Secret Service agents and officers traveled to Cartagena, Colombia last month to make advance preparations for President Obama's trip to the Summit of the Americas. The prostitution allegations became public when a Colombian woman at the Hotel Caribe complained to police that a Secret Service employee did not pay her the agreed-upon price for her services. The police informed U.S. Embassy officials, and the seedy details of agents' drinking heavily, visiting strip clubs, and bringing escorts back to the Hotel Caribe became an international scandal.
The Secret Service also provided Congressional investigators with more details of who exactly was involved with the escorts: two of the 12 employees were supervisors; three were snipers and another three were members of a Secret Service counter-assault team. Their careers ranged in length from two years to 22 years. Nine of the 12 people involved took polygraph exams, but three refused – including the supervisory agent who had the original dispute over payment with the Colombian escort. Nine of the 12 involved have resigned or been fired by the Secret Service, two agents have been cleared, and one is appealing disciplinary action.
Last Friday, the Secret Service announced that all agents must complete ethics training before being eligible for foreign travel.
The new rules say:
- "Patronization of non-reputable establishments is prohibited.
- "Alcohol may not be consumed at the protectee hotel once the protective visit has begun.
- "Foreign nationals, excluding hotel staff and official counterparts, are prohibited in your hotel room."
- "Alcohol may only be consumed in moderate amounts while off-duty on … assignment and alcohol use is prohibited within 10 hours of reporting for duty."

The Pro Bowl now has a whole bunch of new rules. It's a fantasy draft format instead of conference vs. conference. Kickoffs and kneeldowns are banned. The play clock will be shorter, but will run after incomplete passes. With today's release of the new uniforms, this Pro Bowl absolutely won't look anything like past ones.
The NFL revealed the new uniforms today, and they're fairly awful. Not that all the old ones weren't, but at least those clearly announced "meaningless exhibition." These just scream college.

Much as I love my sky-high heels and faded jeans, when it comes to attending church, I'm OK leaving them home. For me, church-appropriate styles are about subtle, conservative pieces instead of ones that make me look like I'm praying for a new drink to appear on tonight's menu.
These days, it's not uncommon to see ladies shopping in PJss or dining in post-workout sweats complete with pit stains. Sure, fashion is about fun and often breaking so-called "rules," but as the phrase goes: there's a time and place for everything. Yes, it would be awesome if the perfect transitional "from church to the beach" outfit existed.
Personally, cut-out tanks and mini skirts aren't making it on the list of church-appropriate clothing. Call me a little old fashioned (I said a little), but I think we can still head to our place of worship gracefully, all without sacrificing our faith in fashion sense.
Here are some church-appropriate looks that keep us stylish and pretty.

In search of New Zealand's red stag
On your safari through life, make sure your journal has one more extraordinary chapter.
1 / 2
It becomes a case of who's stalking who when you start returning 'Big Red's' vocal challenges so be prepared to have the hairs on the back of your neck stand up as New Zealand's red stag closes his distance in on you.
With the right conditions these amazing beasts can be called into ridiculously close distances.
Since their introduction in 1851, red deer have thrived in New Zealand conditions and none more so than at Stravon where they have developed their own rich history.
New Zealand produces the largest red stags and they are quite rightly one of the world's most sought after trophies.
Not only do they make for magnificent mounts, the experience of chasing them in New Zealand is an extraordinary chapter in any hunter's memoirs.
New Zealand's red stag is a 'must have' for any hunter coming to these shores and there is no finer example of these majestic animals anywhere in the world than at Stravon.
The Rut, or more commonly named the Roar, starts mid March and continues to the end of April - the prime period for hunting the red stag, as they aggressively issue their challenges to each other.
Locating a stag by sound offers the hunter a real advantage whether using a rifle, bow, muzzle-loader or a camera.
The red stag was introduced to New Zealand in 1851 from Lord Petre's herd at Thorndon Park, Essex, England, to provide sport for the gentry.
The red deer found the conditions here perfect and they thrived.
There is an extremely high level of trophy quality throughout the herds at Stravon and our careful management means we can consistently produce record book red stags for our guests.
Stravon Safaris are New Zealand's first Qualmark and OutdoorsMark accredited hunting provider.
Article by
Stravon Estate
Our hospitality, our wildlife and our renowned geography is what makes Stravon, Stravon and this is something we believe captures the very spirit of the New Zealand outdoor experience. And that's the spirit we want to deliver to your soul.

Storms force doubleheader on Friday for baseball
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Due to rain and lightning, Thursday night's non-conference baseball game between Lipscomb and Campbell has been suspended and will resume Friday at 3 p.m. at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh stadium.
The game will resume with the Fighting Camels holding a 5-0 lead after a five-run top of the first on Thursday night.
Tickets from Thursday night's game will be honored for Friday's contests.
