still here after a few months on hiatus.
So sorry that I was gone so very long, but sometimes personal "things" take precedence over all else…
yes even food blogging…lol…
I will be back here on a limited blogging schedule of two or three times a month or so.
I hope to bring you delicious images and yummy information to wet your palate for the summer bounty ahead.
Please don't look here for too many recipes, as this site will be evolving into a more informational and photographic venue. There are SO many recipe-based food blogs floating out there, I wanted this food blog to have a different feel as I restart it after my absence.
However, if I do find a dish that is particularly yummy, I promise to share the recipe with all of you.
I wanted to resume this blog with a photo-stroll through one of my fave outdoor markets, the French Market in Western Springs, IL that is held every Thursday from 2pm to 7pm.
With this romantic history of Parisian Markets in mind, imagine a market that you can visit and be comfortable in any weather.
At this market, you are shaded from the pounding rays of the summer sun and unexpected showers while you shop for your dinner, a fresh loaf of bread for breakfast toast, a trinket for a gift or a stunning array of flowers and pots for your garden.
I came to the market intent on focusing on ingredients for a menu for my Fourth of July feast. While shopping for my "feast", I came across a few vendors of note.
In particular, I will be highlighting some fabulous PORK, PRODUCE and GARDEN Vendors in an upcoming post very soon.
Meanwhile here is a link to my post last year of My Favorite Local Farmer's Markets
Wishing all my faithful blog readers a wonderful Fourth of July weekend…!

Asteroid Vesta will fly by Earth tonight, June 14, 2012 at 14 lunar distances or 3.35 million miles away or 14 times the distance between Earth and the moon. The asteroid is named 2012 LZ1 and astronomers believe it's about 1,650 feet (500 meters) wide.
With that type of size and near-Earth proximity, the Vesta asteroid or 2012 LZ1 qualifies as a potential threat to Earth. For an asteroid to be classified as potentially hazardous to Earth it has to be at least 500 feet (150 m) wide and come within 4.65 million miles.
There is no danger of impact to Earth, but the asteroid will come close enough to be caught on camera. Slooh Space Camera will be streaming the footage live beginning at 8:00 p.m. EDT Thursday, June 14, 2012. The online sky-watching service from the Canary Islands will have a telescope on the 2012 LZ1 asteroid as it passes by Earth.
If you remember, back in November 2011 we had a similar asteroid fly by Earth called asteroid 2005 YU55. Asteroid 2005 YU55 grazed by the planet much closer than researchers thought it would. It came within 202,000 miles (325,000 km) of Earth on the evening of November 8, 2011. Something that big hadn't come that close to Earth since 1976.
Asteroid 2012 LZ1 was spotted just this week by Rob McNaught and his colleagues, who were peering through the Uppsala Schmidt telescope at Siding Spring Observatory in Australia. It appeared on the radar on the night of June 10-11.
NASA's Dawn spacecraft began orbiting Vesta almost one year ago on July 16, 2011. NASA announced today that its Dawn spacecraft will begin the final stages of gathering data from the asteroid on Friday, June 15, 2012.

Asteroid Near Earth Fly-By
Asteroid 2012 LZ1 came about 3.3 million miles from planet Earth on its closest approach on June 13th, 2012. The space rock is about 1640 feet wide. The Remanzacco Observatory captured imagery.

This asteroid was NOT Vesta. Vesta is a massive asteroid – 330 miles in diameter – in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. If it hit the earth, it would be game over. The asteroid that passed by last night – 2012 LZ1 – was the size of a city block and was only discovered 3 days ago!! Suggests to me that we may have no warning of a major asteroid impact sometime in the future.
I am SURE I just saw this! It was BIG and green and on fire! SO COOL!!!!
l saw this asteroid on Thursday nite. It was an amazing thing to see. I understand that they were a bit concerned about how close it got to the earth, but still at a safe distant. They were aware of it a year ago almost to the date but them lost it again until 3 days before it flew by.

Wave Spell Music Festival Returning to Belden, California
The small town of Belden, in Northern California, will host the Wave Spell music and arts festival later this month for the second year in a row. The annual festival is held and curated by the veteran electro-jam group, Sound Tribe Sector 9, or STS9 to those familiar. The festival begins on August 15th.
Sound Tribe, originally known as simply "Sector 9", began their career around Atlanta in 1999 and is now based out of Santa Cruz, California, although they spend a significant amount of time on the road as one of the top touring acts in the game.
The Wave Spell festival is now in its second year, both being held in Belden-a small town on California's Feather River with a population of only 22 people (as of 2010). With the inaugural year being a success by consensus of fans and insiders alike, there was much anticipation and delight among STS9 constituents with the announcement of another year in Belden. Fans especially found great excitement at the idea of returning to the banks of the Feather River for Wave Spell.
In hosting the event, Sound Tribe Sector 9 will offer their own unique sound as the headlining entertainment and backbone of the weekend. Just as they did last year, the band will play 9 sets of original music over three nights in Belden. Among these performances, three sets will consist of completely improvised music by STS9, dubbed the "Wave Spell Sets". This format mimics the first year and is the festival's namesake.
Last year, Sound Tribe introduced the concept of their Wave Spell Sets and eventually brought them to the stage, getting an extremely enthusiastic response from their devoted fan base. The band has presented only a handful of these improvisational performances, both at the festival and on the road, adding to the allure for their followers.
While STS9 is the main attraction in Belden, Wave Spell also boasts a heady lineup of other musical acts, as well as visual artists for festival attendees to enjoy. Live music is promised until at least 5 A.M. every morning of the event, and early morning performances are known as "sunrise sets" suggest that music will go deep into the day. As it did last year, the festival will also feature installations from painters as well as live painting during musical performances. A new addition to the festival this year even offers a display of geological specimens billed as "Crystals by Isometrica".
The very small town of Belden, California plays host to several festivals a year. These events take up the entirety of the town, which consists of only a few homes, a hotel/lodge, a few cabins, and a beach along the river. The scenic grounds offer camping space for the 1,200 or so festival-goers as well as limited space for RV's. For a VIP experience, and at a VIP price, fans can also rent one of the cabins for the weekend or get one of the few rooms in the lodge. The lodge is also home to a diner-style restaurant and a small convenience store where attendees can purchase supplies.
The beach in Belden offers not only a beautiful space to relax on the river, but during the Wave Spell festival, it also provides the Beach Stage, where fans can enjoy live music throughout the day. The beach stage is also the site for the fan-favorite "Sunrise Sets", starting shortly before dawn and going on through the sunrise and into early morning daylight.
Last year, in the festivals first year, the Beach Stage quickly became a favorite spot for STS9 fans, who loaded up the area of the Feather River directly in front of the stage with giant inflatable lounge apparatuses shaped like unicorns, ducks, and even a slice of pizza. The river quickly became a large cluster of floaties, all of which were responsibly retrieved at the end of the weekend by the environmentally conscious crowd.
The lineup for the second year of Wave Spell is almost entirely fresh. Aside from STS9, only a few of the groups performing are returning from last year. Among the veterans of the festival coming back is the Portland, Oregon electronic trio, Yak Attack, who were standouts at the first Wave Spell. For the most part, however, festival-goers will experience a brand new roster of acts.
For electronic music fans, Wave Spell submits an exciting schedule of artists and groups. Amid the lineup of live electronic performers, a legend of the genre promises to be one of the most anticipated sets of the weekend. DJ Mark Farina will take the stage in Belden to provide the crowd with his now iconic style of sound, dubbed by Farina as "Mushroom Jazz". Farina and his Mushroom Jazz have become synonymous and his sound has held the attention of the electronic music world for nearly three decades, dating back to his first Mushroom Jazz compilation in 1992.
Over on the Beach Stage, early morning sunrise sets have become a popular fixture in the electronic music festival scene. Often specially assembled to go along with the experience of watching the sun come up in the morning, these sunrise sets have become a favorite among fans.
A new addition to the Wave Spell lineup this year almost seems to specialize in this type of first thing in the morning/end of the night performances. Hailing from the San Francisco underground, Random Rab has seemingly perfected the art of the sunrise set. A Burning Man legend in his own right, Rab seems to fully understand the important mix of laid back and beautiful along with intense and spiritual that makes for a fantastic sunrise set. His early morning performances have become one of the most sought after in the game.
Also returning to Wave Spell this year, diehard STS9 fans are particularly excited for solo performances from members of the headlining band. On the festival schedule for the weekend are special solo sets from David Phipps (Keyboard/Piano) and Zach Velmer (Drums), of Sound Tribe Sector 9. Along with Phipps and Velmer, STS9 bassist, Alana Rocklin also has something special in store for fans. Rocklin's previous band, Sub ID, will be reuniting for a set at Wave Spell. This will be only the second Sub ID performance since Rocklin joined STS9 in 2014.
Wave Spell Live music festival will be held August 15-18, 2019 in Belden, California. Tickets can be purchased at:

AMCA Breach: 20 Million Victims, 19 Class Actions
[bctt tweet="AMCA previously reported that there were only 200,000 victims in the recent breach, but their partner labs said there were more than 20 million." username="Z6Mag"]
More than 20 million and not 200,000 have fallen victim to a massive data breach that has seen medical clients using the services of healthcare billing company, American Medical Collection Agency (AMCA), to pay for their laboratory tests in different blood testing labs across the U.S. were confirmed by the SEC filings of affected medical institutions amidst the earlier claims of AMCA that there were fewer victims.
The data breach was a result of a cyber attack that aims to phish for financial information from the website of the AMCA. The exposed data belongs to Americans who paid laboratory services at several clinical and blood testing labs and institutions and used the AMCA billing portal.
What happened in the AMCA breach?
Data that were stolen from the victims include their names, phone numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, social security numbers, credit card numbers, and other bank details. The said information was auctioned off by the hacker in several financial hacking forums.
According to DataBreaches.net, the organization who first reported about the incident, AMCA officials, following the notification of the breach confirmed that their system has been compromised and has remained undetected for more than eight months. AMCA corroborated that the breach took place between August 1, 2018, and March 30, 2019.
Notifications have been sent by several of AMCA's corporate partners and clients to their customers following the disclosure of the security breach that has seen information from millions of Americans compromised.

The list of impacted testing laboratories includes Quest Diagnostics (11.9 million patients), LabCorp (7.7 million patients), BioReference Laboratories (Opko Health subsidiary, 422,600 patients), Carecentrix (500,000 patients), and Sunrise Laboratories (undisclosed number of patients).
However, neither the AMCA nor its five clients have yet to notify ALL impacted citizens by the breach making them vulnerable to a lot of cyber crimes and their financial data could be used by anyone who gets hold of the information against the persons of those who still don't know that their financial information is floating around the internet.
The companies involved in the breach are facing several lawsuits
Appropriately, the lawsuit came into the direction of AMCA, Quest, and LabCorp regarding the incident. More than 11 class-suite actions have been filed against the three companies for their inability to protect consumer data. The 11 lawsuits were recorded at The United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) on June 3. Since then, eight more lawsuits were filed against the companies in federal courts from New Jersey, New York, and California.
According to litigation experts, "If many cases are filed in federal court, any of the lawyers on any of those cases can file a motion with the JPML [..] to centralize the various federal cases that have been filed by sending all of them to a single judge for coordinated pre-trial proceedings."
"Healthcare companies are especially susceptible to data breaches not only because they aggregate a tremendous amount of important and sensitive data, but also because they tend to be less focused on cybersecurity protection than other industries," said John Yanchunis of Morgan and Morgan, one of the firms who filed lawsuits against Quest Diagnostics.
"These companies, like Quest Diagnostics, know they are at an increased risk and yet have not taken the proper steps to protect their patients' data. We will fight for justice on behalf of those impacted by this breach," added Yanchunis.
Lawmakers are demanding an explanation
The U.S. government, led by attorneys general from Connecticut and Illinois has also opened an investigation on the matter. Furthermore, lawmakers and other politicians have sent letters to the responding companies to ask for an explanation of why an eight-month data breach remained undetected and to demand accountability from them.
In Washington, US Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) also sent a letter to Quest Laboratories demanding the company explain its vetting process for selecting AMCA as a billing vendor, and what requirements a third-party vendor has to pass. Democratic New Jersey Sens. Cory Booker and Bob Menendez also sent letters to AMCA, Quest, and LabCorp, seeking official answers on how a breach of this severity went undetected for eight months.
"The months-long leak leaves sensitive personal and financial information vulnerable in the hands of criminal enterprises. Moreover, such breaches force victims to contend with identity theft that may lead to irreparable harm to their credit reports and financial future," said the letter sent by the NJ senators.

'The Hunger Games' Is Launching A Prequel And A Possible Movie
[bctt tweet="Suzanne Collins is releasing a prequel to The Hunger Games storyline and Lionsgate is already looking forward in turning it into a blockbuster movie" username="Z6Mag"]
Almost fours years after the last The Hunger Games movie (The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part II) and almost nine years after the first book from the trilogy was released, Suzanne Collins is returning with the famed trilogy — but this time in a form of a prequel.
Scholastic, the publishing company that distributed Collins' The Hunger Games trilogy, announced today that it is publishing a prequel novel to the series, currently untitled, which will hit shelves on May 19, 2020.
"Suzanne Collins is a master at combining brilliant storytelling, superb world-building, breathtaking suspense, and social commentary," Scholastic Trade Publishing President Ellie Berger said in a statement. "We are absolutely thrilled — as both readers and publishers — to introduce the devoted fans of the series and a new audience to an entirely new perspective on this modern classic."
Collins' original Hunger Games trilogy—The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay—altogether, sold more than 100 million copies and has been translated into more than 50 languages. Moreover, The Hunger Games books appeared on the New York Times bestseller list for more than 260 consecutive weeks (more than five straight years).
After writing the last installment in 2010, Collins teased in 2013 that she was working on a new series, but did not say whether it was related to The Hunger Games.
This time, the novel will be set in the world of Panem, 64 years before the events of the original Hunger Games trilogy—the morning where Katniss Everdeen volunteered as a tribute on the 74th Hunger Games. Presumably, Katniss Everdeen played by Jeniffer Lawrence will not be involved in the upcoming novel.
Based on the previous novels in the series, 74 years before the main novels, the 13 Districts of Panem already tried to initiate a rebellion against the Capital. In the aftermath of the failed attempt, 12 Districts remained to leave District 13 to rubbles. The Hunger Games was a result and served as a reminder that all the other Districts should obediently comply with the Capital's rule.
The novel will take place 10 years after the first rebellion and will tell the story of Panem during the "Dark Days following a failed rebellion in Panem "With this book, I wanted to explore the state of nature, who we are, and what we perceive is required for our survival," Collins told the Associated Press in the announcement. "The reconstruction period 10 years after the war, commonly referred to as the Dark Days — as the country of Panem struggles back to its feet — provides fertile ground for characters to grapple with these questions and thereby define their views of humanity."
On other news, the Lionsgate film studio, who adapted The Hunger Games trilogy into movies, is already looking forward to the next addition to Collins' franchise given that it received praise and public attention for producing them.
"As the proud home of the Hunger Games movies, we can hardly wait for Suzanne's next book to be published," said Joe Drake, chairman of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, in a recent statement to the Associated Press. "We've been communicating with her during the writing process and we look forward to continuing to work closely with her on the movie."S
Lionsgate turned Collins' Hunger Games novels into a series of four films, dividing the last novel, Hunger Games: Mockingjay, into a two-part finale. Over the course of the four movies, it earned almost $3 billion dollars an the worldwide box office with the last movie earning $653.4 million.
Collins helped with the movies as an executive producer and a co-screenwriter on the first 2012 movie but distanced herself after she finalized Mockingjay in 2010.
Lionsgate is also known to have produced Twilight, which is one of their platinum franchises along with Collins' trilogy. The studio earlier licensed The Hunger Games to theme parks and live concert tours being built around the movie franchise.
Additionally, it starred Jenniffer Lawrence who played the main character as Katniss Everdeen in all of the four movies, which helped catapult her acting career in 2012.
Scholastic acquired world English rights to the prequel novel and it will publish in print, digital and audio formats in the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand next year. The deal was negotiated by Rosemary Stimola of the Stimola Literary Studio for Suzanne Collins and David Levithan, VP, Publisher, and Editorial Director, for Scholastic.

With all the Black Friday ad leaks and sneak peeks we've unearthed in the past few weeks, this season's shopping extravaganza is looking ripe with deals and discounts for all.
But even though many product categories will see new all-time low prices, not everything will be a good purchase on Black Friday.
In some cases, you would be better off skipping certain deals and waiting for a better offer later on in the coming year.
Speaking of toys, if you're looking to buy any of the major video game consoles this holiday, you're likely to get more bang for your buck by opting for one that comes with a few extras.
While we've already seen a few choice Xbox deals in the leaked Black Friday ads, in years past, the vast majority of Editors' Choice console deals went to holiday bundles that included premium accessories and two or three game titles.
These were frequently discounted 30% to 40% off their retail prices.
Black Friday is an excellent time to invest in a new HDTV, as we predict a variety of size categories will hit their lowest price points.
But don't expect the best deals to be tagged with name brands. Typically, the rock-bottom prices will mostly apply to third-tier manufacturers.
Instead, brand name TVs tend to see their best price of the year in January and February as manufacturers look to clear stock in preparation for new models in the spring.
There's no shortage of digital camera deals around Black Friday, but keep in mind that the premium current-generation models are just a few months away from being replaced by a new line of 2013 options.
If you're eyeing a brand new digital SLR, we recommend waiting until February or later when it becomes an "old model," resulting in more aggressive discounts from retailers.
While not typically on anyone's "To Buy on Black Friday" list, Christmas decor tends to end up in-cart on impulse buys.
Sure, that string of lights or holiday wreath might be on sale, but deals on Christmas items get better the closer we get to the holiday itself — and of course are the best after the holiday.
For some, it may seem silly to advise against office supply deals on Black Friday, as it's not typically a category associated with the shopping event.
But for several years running, office supply stores like Office Depot and OfficeMax have released Black Friday ads in the hopes of encouraging an uptick in business.
Unfortunately, these deals are generally no better than those we see throughout the rest of the year.
In fact, during the entire Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday stretch in 2011, we only found a measly three Editors' Choice deals in this category.
We're flagging this accessories category "Do Not Buy" for the entire holiday season.
Much like Christmas items, there will be lots of sales advertising shiny, metallic objects perfect for him or her.
But the discounts on jewelry around the winter holidays are no better than those around Valentine's Day, when baubles are at their most in-demand.
And instead of buying a watch now, consider holding off until the spring and summer when we see more Editors' Choice deals.
During Black Friday, we'll likely see some of the best apparel coupons of the year from a variety of retailers.
However, if winter apparel is on your list, it's smarter to hold off until January, when those items are added to clearance sales that take much deeper base discounts.
We will inevitably find additional stacking coupons then too, to make those stronger sales even better for your wallet.
The long-awaited iPad mini will set you back at least $329, and if it follows the price pattern of its distant predecessor, the first generation iPad, it won't see a discount until several months from now.
While there's an off-chance that an attention-seeking retailer could offer an iPad mini promotion (the latest full-size iPad is included in the Target Black Friday ad, after all), the bottom line is this: the iPad mini features essentially the same innards as the iPad 2, and we're predicting that the latter will fall to $299 this Black Friday.
Therefore, the iPad 2 will offer more screen real estate at a lower price.
Microsoft has seemingly made a concerted effort to position its products in line with Apple's, thus exerting a considerable amount of control over where the Surface is available and for how much.
And like Apple's tendency to offer minimal discounts on the iPad, Microsoft might only offer a marginal deal on the Surface this season.
But if Surface sales are weak, the tablet may instead go the way of the BlackBerry PlayBook, wherein we'll see its price fall considerably by the spring.
While we advise against purchasing the above products around Black Friday, keep in mind that nothing is written in stone, and we may still see some stellar deals within these categories; however, it's more likely that we'll encounter so-so offers, so it's best to temper your expectations.
We've said it many times already, and we'll say it once more: Black Friday is not the best time to buy toys for the holidays.
Many will likely still be discounted for Black Friday, and it may feel pretty good to get your shopping done early, but you won't love that sinking feeling you'll get when you see those toys discounted for less about two weeks before Christmas.

Case Study #2
Applied History:Placing Students in the Past
By James A. Percoco, History Teacher
West Springfield High School, Springfield, Virginia
The following is a case study in the ways students can engage with history in their communities. James Percoco explains how his students explored history and its uses through field studies and internships.
• Introduction
• Monumental Leadership
• Who Deserves a Monument?
• Local Monuments
• Local Internships and Service Learning
• Conclusion
IntroductionOne of the things I hear most often from teachers when I am presenting at a workshop is that the work I have done to incorporate historic sites into the curriculum has been easy for me to accomplish because I live right on the doorstep of the nation's capital and in a region dotted with historic sites that cover the Colonial Period through the present. I full well understand and appreciate that argument, but I encourage teachers to explore the history in their own backyard and to incorporate their local tales within the bigger picture of American history. For many years I have been employing a technique I call the IFT – Individualized Field Trips. Here I make my students go out into the world and explore. These teenage historians are doing what I call Applied History.
Monumental Leadership
One project that works very well for my students could easily apply anywhere in the United States. This is my Monumental Leadership project. Leadership lessons have increasingly taken root in American schools. These leadership lessons are tied closely to civic education, an education that prompts young people to consider seriously their role in the democratic process. American public sculpture has always found a place in American life and culture, not only reflecting the individual or event commemorated, but also providing a window to the time in which the monument was erected.

For example, prior to his death in 1945, President Franklin Roosevelt expressed a wish that if the American people wanted to raise a memorial to him, he would want simply a small block of stone placed on a little patch of grass outside the Pennsylvania Avenue side of the National Archives and Records Administration building. All he wanted on the stone was his name and the dates of his life. After he died he received his wish. This begs the question: why then, in 1997, was a seven-acre National Memorial to Roosevelt dedicated on the Mall in Washington, D.C.? A clue appears in the words of President Warren G. Harding at the 1922 dedication of the Lincoln Memorial, when he said, "This memorial, matchless as it is, is more for us and future generations than it is for Abraham Lincoln."
Who Deserves a Monument?
The Monumental Leadership project is inquiry based and combines student reading of Washington's Leadership Lessons by James C. Rees, President of George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens, with visits to physical monuments in Washington, D.C. Pairs of my students set off together, each pair assigned a public sculpture of one of the lesser known figures of American history whose bronze or stone images populate the nation's capital. The memorials to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Roosevelt are not on the list. Instead, students encounter people like John Ericson, John Barry, or Mary McLeod Bethune.

Using Rees' book as a spring board, students have to create a PowerPoint presentation on the life and accomplishments of their assigned figures, explaining why each person deserves a monument in the nation's capital by describing how this individual's life embodies the principles of leadership modeled by George Washington. My students love this project! It is very hands-on and provides real world learning, while at the same time honoring timeless American values.
Local Monuments
Many communities large and small across the nation have a monumental landscape. These silent sentinels are community reminders of what our forefathers and mothers have left us. Archives of local historical societies and public libraries often contain primary sources related to these monuments, their creation, and dedications. I know this first hand because much of the primary material I used for writing my book Summers with Lincoln: Looking for the Man in the Monuments came from just such institutions. I encourage you to reach out to your local historical sites, museums, archives, and libraries and work with the staffs there to build similar lessons for your students.
Local Internships and Service Learning
With senior capstone projects becoming increasingly popular in schools, students can also complete service learning and leadership activities by working at the type of repositories, sites, or archives I mention above. For more than two decades I have been teaching a senior elective course that I designed and call Applied History. After a fall semester steeped in rigorous examination of themes and topics in history, including several field trips, these students spend their second semester not with me in a classroom, but working as interns at local historic sites, museums, and other historical organizations in the Washington, D.C., area.

(National Park Service)
These include, among others, the National Park Service units Ford's Theatre National Historic Site; Manassas National Battle Field Park; Mary McLeod Bethune Council House National Historic Site; and Arlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial.
At these sites students encounter the world of public history working as collections managers, providing costumed interpretation, performing curatorial work, and developing learning programs for young children. What I am most proud of is that, over the years, 36 of my students have turned their internships into positions as National Park Service rangers.
This type of direct involvement in both investigating history and exploring students' own communities and interests is the best of all kinds of education. Students give back to the community while at the same time learning valuable history. Only the classroom is different – it's the world.

Hello everyone and thanks for coming by today! I hope your week is going well.
I seem to be slightly obsessed with making flowers at the moments as you will be able to see from the posts below. So when I needed a special card for someone, guess what the central feature was going to be? Yep, you got it, more flowers. Hope you are not getting sick of them.
HERE. I love the fact this die can make such different flowers, depending on how you shape and or colour them.
Finally the sentiment is from Stempelglede.

Rival rips coach of injured Pop Warner players
Says Southbridge not to blame for five concussions
SOUTHBRIDGE — An official with the local Pop Warner football program defended Wednesday the Southbridge team's conduct during a Sept. 15 game in which five rival players between the ages of 10 and 12 suffered concussions and instead put the blame on the other team's coach.
Reading from a prepared statement, Rob Philion, vice president of Southbridge Pop Warner Youth Football and Cheer, said the rival Tantasqua coaches bore the responsibility for protecting their players.
"It is not the duty nor the responsibility of the Southbridge coaching staff to monitor the ways in which their opponents manage their teams," Philion said during a news conference at Harry J. McMahon Memorial Field.
He criticized Tantasqua's head coach, Erik Iller, and the program's president, his wife Jen Iller, for allowing the game to continue after four of their players were seriously hurt after the sixth play, bringing the number of available players on their side below the minimum allowable total of 16.
"The unfortunate decision that was made that day, by Mr. and Mrs. Iller, was to continue the game with the remaining players, despite the fact that after only six plays, they were down to 13 players fulfilling 22 positions on the field," Philion said.
He said the Southbridge team was not informed during the game that the Tantasqua squad was playing with 13 and later just 11 available players.
All the Tantasqua players who suffered concussions missed time from school. Four of the five have since been medically cleared to return to the field. Philion expressed "heartfelt concern" for the injured Tantasqua players, while also defending the Southbridge youths.
"As we mentioned at the hearing, if you just took the time to sit down and talk to these 10-, 11-, and 12-year-old little boys, you'd see what we see," he said. "Good kids with good hearts who need Pop Warner in their lives for many reasons. We're proud of our boys, and we stand behind them."
The Illers' home phone number was not accepting voice mail messages on Wednesday night, and an e-mail to the Tantasqua Pop Warner president's account was not immediately returned.
The Tantasqua Pop Warner board had issued a statement Monday criticizing Southbridge for refusing to accept any responsibility for what occurred.
"It is our position that the ad hominem attacks and disparaging remarks made by members of the Southbridge organization are both unwarranted and completely without merit," the statement said. "They show a clear failure to grasp the real issues at hand [the harming of 10-to-12-year-old- children].
"More importantly, their unwillingness to entertain any responsibility does a great disservice to their players, families, and the Southbridge community at large."
After a hearing last week, league officials suspended Erik Iller and Southbridge head coach Scott Lazo for the rest of the season and placed them on probation through the 2013 season. Jennifer Iller and Doug Lazo, the Southbridge Pop Warner president, were also placed on probation through the 2013 season. The three game officials were permanently banned.
The Tantasqua program had also said in its statement that Southbridge violated the so-called "lopsided rule," which took effect when Southbridge jumped out to a 28-0 lead.
Philion disputed that allegation on Wednesday, stating that Southbridge followed the rule and altered their style of play.
Among the necessary measures taken, he said, were pulling team starters from the game, running only between the tackles, making frequent substitutions, and refraining from passing plays. He said the team also went beyond those measures by punting on first down, running out of bounds instead of downfield, and instructing officials to throw penalty flags if a Southbridge player appeared to have a chance to advance the football or score.
Patrick W. Inderwish, president of Central Massachusetts Pop Warner, wrote in a letter Saturday to Doug Lazo, the Southbridge president, that a hearing committee had found the Southbridge team committed "a violation of the lopsided rule."
While Tantasqua said in its statement that the final score of the game was 52-0, Philion said Wednesday that final tally was 34-0, citing the Central Mass. Pop Warner website.

Usually I am very opinionated on my sectional picks and this year, since I gave out some of them on the TV before the blog, I thought I would give you all a chance to give your picks and make this more of an interactive experience for everyone.
Please remember that these are kids and that your opinions should not relate to individual kids. If you want to talk about position advantages or commend a certain player, that is fine, just try not to be negative about the kids in any way.
With those groundrules in mind, I welcome all commentary and let the games begin:
CLASS AA – I know most of the Capital District Class AA fans are looking for the "super matchups" in the semifinals, but there is alot of basketball to be played first. The Suburban/Big 10 crossovers are a great way to gauge the quality of the teams and in some years, the Suburban looks strong in the opening rounds and in other years its the Big 10 that reigns supreme. This season I expect the crossovers to be pretty even. I think the Big 10 could win 5 out of 8, but I cannot say definitively what teams those will be because there are some quality matchups early in the tournament.
If that holds true to form, I would expect there to be some pretty good quarterfinal games and maybe some potential hollywood matchups in the semis and finals. After all of the games are said and done, I have to think that Troy will be up for this tournament, much like they were back in 2002 when they won the title over my beloved LSI Cadets. I think Shen could make their way to a semifinal matchup against Troy possibly and if that happens, the contrast in styles will be fun to watch. I think if the stars were to align and pit CBA and Troy in a final this season, that Troy would represent well, however I still believe Galal Cancer has another gear to hit and he may be able to push them over the top and continue this recent CBA dynasty.
Another factor at play here, is that CBA has a game at the TU Center under their belts, have won their before, and Troy is very green in that building. Even Shen would have the experience in the semis to potentially use that to their advantage.
In the end, I think CBA and Troy find their way into the title game and that the Horses take it. For the semis I think Academy and CBA on the top of the draw and Shen and Troy on the other should make for two outstanding games. Pick: Troy over CBA.
CLASS A -This tournament is going to be alot of fun to follow and with literally half of the teams repping the Foothills Council, this should be a great opportunity for the league to show how tough they really are.
Although the Foothills has proven to be superior in terms of their head-to-head games against leagues like the Wasaren, they also have done well this season against the Colonial. In the cases of the Suburban, schools like Glens Falls went 1-3 against them and they have a 5 seed in the tournament with their lone win against the #12 BH-BL Spartans by 2 points. Scotia does not have a point of comparison against the Suburban but has the #1 despite a weaker non-league schedule while Gibbons could potentially face them having gone through the rigorous Big 10 wars, while taking a break over Christmas to claim the Kirvin Cup over Mohon and the Burgh. For the simple and important fact that Gibbons is very battle tested, they should be really tough in this tournament with their speed and athleticism. They will, however, need to shoot more consistently to beat some of the other favorites.
For example, Scotia has a team that knows their roles and is fearless. They will not go down without a fight if they can get past their tough first-round matchup. Terell Winney is a gunslinger and he will duel anyone out there. On the other side, the Burgh and Mohon look strong and tested, but there are several teams that could win 2-3 games in this thing including programs like Glens Falls, Hudson Falls or South High.
If you had to pin my down, here is how I think it will finish: In the semis, I think the Burgh and Mohon on the one side and Scotia and Gibbons should both have the athleticism to get to the dance. Pick: Scotia over Mohon.
CLASS BB – Much has been said about my pick of Cohoes the other night on TV and now James Allen has agreed to really add fuel to the fire. I really do think there are 7-8 teams that could win this particular tournament and that is why it wouldn't be so outlandish to me to see a #6 come out victorious but there could be 4-5 upsets in this field by the time it is all said and done. I think it is that competitive. First you have Schenectady Christian, who is untested in Class BB, but who has some strong pieces, led by the great Collin Stewart and a very determined and competitive coach in Chad Bowman. They will have a tough quarterfinal opponent no matter who wins the Green Tech/Johnstown tussle. Their road looks extremely competitive all the way through.
Then you have Catskill and Cairo from the Patroon who both get after it in their own way. Catskill likes to run, run, run and Cairo grinds it out defense and can score to boot. The two Patroon powers could make some noise in this thing. Next you have Schuylerville and Spa Catholic waiting to battle in the quarters after earning byes. Schuylerville is as long as any team in this tournament while Spa Catholic boasts a quicker team that will try to move the ball around the vaunted Schuylerville zone and use their speed game, much like Scotia did. Cohoes has the premier shooting team in the field and a rising star in Malcolm Shivers. He very well could make things very interesting in this tournament, but they have got to past a pesky and very veteran Cobleskill team that is not afraid of the youthful Tigers. Then, Cohoes would need to pull an upset or two just make the party. These are not going to be easy feats.
Once things are all said and done, many things could happen, but here is how I think it will unfold potentially: Schenectady Christian and Schuylerville should come out of the top if Schuylerville can control Spa Catholic's tempo. On the other side, Cohoes and Catskill should be a match of two very strong teams. Pick: Cohoes over Schenectady Christian

Summary Sentence:No summary sentence submitted.
Full Summary:
Professors Ali Adibi and Elizabeth Mynatt selected by the Georgia Cancer Coalition to be among the 12 award recipients.
Two Georgia Institute of Technology faculty members have received 2011 Cancer Research Awards.
Ali Adibi, professor of optics and photonics in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Elizabeth Mynatt, professor and associate dean of the College of Computing, have been selected by the Georgia Cancer Coalition to be among the 12 award recipients.
Thanks to citizens' voluntary donations to the Georgia Cancer Research Fund on state income tax forms, Adibi will receive $50,000 seed funding for the study of label-free prostate cancer biomarkers with applications for the detection and treatment of prostate cancer.
Mynatt's grant will support a collaborative effort among Georgia Tech, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, the Georgia Department of Community Health, Morehouse School of Medicine and IBM to develop a distributed model of the pediatrics system in Georgia. The goal is to better understand how care processes, information and resources flow through the system.
Georgia Tech is also collaborating on two additional Cancer Research Awards.
Dr. Christopher R. Flowers, an assistant professor of hematology/medical oncology at Emory University and an adjunct assistant professor in Georgia Tech's School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, will use the funds to enhance the Metropolitan Atlanta cancer registry.
The other collaborative award went to Shafiq Khan, professor of biological sciences at Clark Atlanta University, where the Collaborative Center for Cancer Genomics operates in cooperation with Georgia Tech and St. Joseph's Hospital of Atlanta.
The Georgia Cancer Coalition received more than 70 proposals from researchers across the state. Each award is matched by the awardee's organizations. Cancer Research Awards often provide seed money for pilot studies that have the potential of attracting larger, more prestigious national grant awards.
"These research awards are an important investment in our state's scientists," said Bill Todd, president and chief executive officer of the Georgia Cancer Coalition. "With matching funds and potential for additional national funding, we are making a major contribution to cancer research in the state. We owe the program's success to our citizens who support the drive to eradicate cancer."

him an ideal candidate for President. However,

At the Alexandre Herchcovitch show, the collection was all about volume and giving the peplum trend a vibrant new twist.
Peplums, which dominated silhouettes in 2012, will still stick around in 2013, but Herchcovitch gave his take on the trend with a fuller and higher hemline. The Brazilian designer cited references of flowers, which were prominent in the pretty patterns and blossom-like skirts.
Almost every look that went down the runway focused on the waistline with either a cinched look or separates worn around the waist. I really liked the bright pops of red and emerald green (a really popular color this season!)
In the front row I spotted downtown fixture / model / DJ Leigh Lezark (who's recently gone blonde) and former costume designer of Sex and the City, Patricia Field.

Change the Culture
I am a full-time student, and I work part time in the service industry, where no paid sick days are offered. It seems to be a trend in the service industry to have no benefits, especially for part-time workers. I continuously witness co-workers coming to work sick because otherwise they will not be paid for that shift. I have also seen workers physically sick, throwing up at work because they could not leave in the middle of a shift. This not only hurts the sick worker, but it can also make anyone they come in contact with sick, including customers. Who wants sick people handling the food you are about to eat? I cannot imagine there is anyone out there who is OK with that.
It seems to be part of the culture of the growing service industry that paid sick days are not included — in fact it is pretty much a given they will not be. We must change this culture of workplaces to assure that every worker has the right to work with dignity and is able to take care of themselves and their families when they are sick.
I am one of millions of part-time workers who do not receive benefits, but part-time workers are still dedicated workers and must be included in the paid sick days bill. Employers find incentives in hiring part-time workers so they will not have to provide benefits. We must not allow these incentives to exist. Every person has a right to health, and every worker deserves to work with dignity. Paid sick days is just one important step to reaching our goal of creating a system that offers universal health care, the right to work with dignity, and one that puts people first.

If you have two 12 volt power contacts then you might >run the preamp separately from a sequencer. Sequencers don't have to only apply/remove DC power in a set sequence. In fact, in the general case, a sequencer has a series of switch contacts that are enabled in the proper order and disabled in the opposite order. The switch contacts could be configured as NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed). These can either provide and remove DC power, or short the pre-amp's own PTT circuit to ground to take it out of receive mode (or, depending on the model of preamp, maybe +12 is PTT instead of GND). The Down East Microwave sequencer has a DPDT relay for each of the sequence stages, so you get two independent NO and NC contact sets to play with as you wish. If (like the ARR models) the preamp has built-in bypass switching, one issue that remains is how quickly and completely the preamp gets switched out of the transmit path. If slow to switch, and/or if the isolation is insufficient, a spike of RF may still enter the very sensitive preamp and fry it. With a sequencer, you can (usually) select whatever switching delay is needed for the isolation relays to reach a fully switched position, and you also get to pick the isolation relays themselves, with attention to power dissipation and degree of isolation needed. I believe that ARR says that the built-in RF-sensing relay is good for up to 160 watts, but a sequencer with a separate isolation relay could basically allow you to use 1.5 kW, if you had an awfully darn good reason to use so much power, ;) that is. On my 144, 222, and 432 bands, I have an RF Concepts "brick" amplifier with an internal preamp and RF-sensed automatic switching. On 144 and 432, these are "soft keyed" (i.e. keyed by sensing RF). On 222, which is done with a transverter instead of directly out the back of my FT-847, I went to the effort to "hard key" the amp/preamp by using its PTT input (which I had to re-configure as PTT to GND instead of PTT to HI). Both "soft" and "hard" switching methods work OK, but on 144 and 432 it is best to briefly pause after keying the mic before you start talking, to insure that the PA is switched in, and when you unkey, you have to hope that the person on the other end pauses briefly before responding because it takes a noticeable amount of time for the amp/preamp relay to switch back to receive mode. (The delay is intentional, to prevent relay chattering.) On 222, since the radio, transverter, and external PA/preamp are all hard-switched by their own PTT signal, the send/receive cycle is much smoother, no excess delays, no chance of relay chattering if the loudness of your voice drops low for a moment, etc. So I definitely prefer the "hard keyed" method of operation. One of these days, I will get around to modifying the 144 and 432 amps for hard keying also... On 902, 1296, 2305, and 3456 MHz, my transverters were built with split Tx/Rx, which makes it simpler to connect a preamp (if needed) to the Rx and a power amp to the Tx, and of course you need a T/R coax relay external to the transverter. So far, because my PA's on these bands are low power, I hard-key the T/R relay but it is not sequenced -- radio PTT = transverter PTT = T/R relay PTT, all at the "same" time. When I move up to the high-power class of operation, I will install a sequencer on each. We have local folks here who have had the experience I am trying to avoid, namely simultaneous switching works ok at low power, but add in some REAL output power and things fry if not sequenced. These bands have PA's of 40-120 watts waiting to be integrated. (This is for terrestrial work, not satellites, by the way, as you can probably figure from the high powers and non-satellite bands/sub-bands mentioned...) 73 de W0JT AMSAT-NA LM#2292

Regional Science Association International – British and Irish Section
The British and Irish Section of the Regional Science Association International was founded in 1968 and it forms part of the Regional Science Association International (founded in 1954). The British and Irish section is one of the 18 European sections of RSAI that fall under the European Regional Science Association (RSAI also comprises a North American Regional Science Council and a Pacific Regional Science Organisation). Its membership is drawn, in the main, from academics, consultants and scientists in local and national government, who share an interest in spatial issues.
As with all the RSAI sections (national and regional associations), the British and Irish Section seeks to promote the study of regional and urban phenomena and the advancement of regional science. Regional Science is a multi-disciplinary field, with a strong foundation in quantitative methods, encompassing expertise in economics as well as geography, planning, mathematics and sociology. With the development of the interest in spatial issues across a range of fields (economic geography, spatial economics, regional studies, urban economics, spatial econometrics, etc) as well as in policy (see, for example, at the European level the European Spatial Development Perspective), regional science has become at the centre of the development of theory and method in urban and regional analysis and policy.

Doritos 'Sling Baby' Commercial Director on Way to Feature-Length Comedy
The director of last Super Bowl's Doritos commercial, "Sling Baby," that won the Facebook USA Today Ad Meter's number one rating out of all ads for the NFL's premier event, said keeping his film work true to his Christian values is his ultimate goal.
After discussing his winning commercial, which was also rated by Neilson as "Most Liked" and "Most Remembered," to those attending a break-out session of the Biola Media Conference over the weekend, Kevin T. Willson sat down with The Christian Post to discuss filmmaking from a Christian perspective.
He said that although it was important to include an element of surprise or shock in a commercial it was not necessary to be crude.
"I want to do entertainment for a mass audience that is also aligned with my values … comedy with heart that everyone can enjoy is what I am inspired by most," Willson, 35, said.
He said doing a commercial that aligns with wholesome values is a challenge, but something he enjoys.
"It actually has bigger appeal," he explained. Commercials that are crude "do horrible on the ad meter. They rate very unliked. It not only aligns with my values to make it clean, but it also has a better chance at wider appeal. The shock value has to be there, but it doesn't have to be in a crude way."
Willson has finished as a Top 5 Finalist in the Doritos' Crash the Super Bowl contest for the last three years. In 2010, the commercial he directed, "Casket," aired during the Super Bowl and was ranked by Neilsen as the #1 Most-Recalled Ad. In 2011, the commercial he wrote and directed, "Birthday Wish," ranked in the top 5 out of 5,000 submissions.
Doritos has hired Willson to create a new Doritos short film in collaboration with the Lonely Island guys: Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone. He was paid by the Doritos company $1 million for taking the top spot on the Facebook USA Today Ad Meter.
His success and winnings have allowed him to further his career and begin fulfilling his desire to direct feature-length comedy films.
He said he is currently writing a "comedy movie with heart" that he hopes to create and direct.
Willson told CP that he became a born-again Christian in high school and also knew during the same time period that comedy filmmaking was the career he wanted.
"I would get out of doing History and English papers by turning in funny videos in high school. I just came alive when I was able to create funny videos. I decided in high school that's what I want to do for the rest of my life. I wanted to make comedy movies," he said.
His passion is to someday create "heartfelt comedies that have an honest premise."
"The world all over watches movies so that's an incredible responsibility to try to tell honest stories," said Willson. "Jesus told stories in parables and they were not sugar-coated. They were real, honest stories of struggle. People remember stories so it's an exciting and wonderful industry."
He said it was important for filmmakers who are Christian to be loving and not judgmental.
"People of the world need storytellers like that," he said.
Willson is a Southern California native and after graduating from Biola University he taught Special Education in Los Angeles, according to his bio. He left teaching to pursue his dream of filmmaking and directed numerous documentaries for humanitarian organizations including Acres of Love, Habitat for Humanity, and Free Wheelchair Mission, where his film received a standing ovation at a screening at the White House. Kevin has filmed in 14 different countries including Peru, Cambodia and Afghanistan.
In addition to winning more than a dozen awards for his directing work, LionsGate also distributed his short film, "Beauty."

This isn't the new Honda Civic. It's the Acura ILX, a car built on a similar foundation as its parent company's Civic that Acura hopes will give it a head start in the market for diminished luxury.
The Acura ILX, and rivals such as the Buick Verano and Lexus CT 200h represent a bet by some auto makers that demand is pent up for cars that are small and frugal like economy models, but come equipped with some of the comfort features, flourishes and badges of a luxury brand.
Acura executives say they believe the "near premium" segment in which the compact ILX will compete could grow by as much as 16% a year, on average, through 2017—faster than any other luxury-market segment.
And Honda HMC, +1.44% isn't the only company taking aim at consumers looking for status on a budget. German luxury brands have said they plan to bring to the U.S. more economical compacts and subcompacts they sell in Europe.
General Motors Co. GM, +1.45% recently launched its entry in the near-premium segment, the Verano. Based on the Chevrolet Cruze, the Verano is the first compact model offered under the Buick brand in the U.S. since the slow-selling Skylark was dropped more than a decade ago. GM also has a new, smaller Cadillac model due out in the fall, the ATS, that it is positioning as a rival to BMW's 3-series.
Honda's vice president for national marketing, Mike Accavitti, said the ILX is a response to a change in the mind-set of many affluent consumers.
"Since the Lehman shock, we have seen a fundamental shift in luxury buyers' philosophy," he said. "We are seeing more rational behavior in purchases."
Acura also wants the ILX to lure members of Generation Y, the buyers between 18 and 34 years old who have landed decent jobs, want a luxury-brand car with a distinctive design, but don't really care how fast it goes—or so Acura executives believe. This target customer lives in or near a big city such as New York, Los Angeles or Chicago, where much of the time cars can barely get past 40 miles per hour in rush hour traffic.
The ILX starts at $26,795 (including freight charges), and ranges up to $35,295 for a loaded hybrid. That looks like a reasonable price if the competition is defined as German luxury cars like a BMW 3-series, which starts at about $35,000.
But the success of the ILX and similar cars will depend on buyers who may not fit the molds imagined by marketing departments.
"There's kind of a move for people to go to these smaller cars and still get the bells and whistles," said Rob Troxel, a longtime Honda fan who's looking for a replacement for the loaded 2009 Civic EX his wife drives. "Miles per hour is not as important as miles per gallon," he says.
Troxel might sound like a member of a focus group that gave Acura's marketing department the template for its target customer profile. But he's 65 years old—a baby boomer, just like most of the people who buy new cars in the U.S. And while he likes the concept of an economical luxury car, he is on the lookout for telltale shortcuts that betray a car's cheaper origins.
He tried a Verano, he said, but rejected it because the seat recliner was a manually operated, Chevy-style handle, not a smooth power device.
As for the Acura ILX, he said if the price is much over $30,000 he'd consider Acura's more-powerful—and expensive—TSX. Troxel also questions why the Acura only offers a five-speed automatic, not the six-speed its rivals typically feature.
Edmunds.com says 16% of people who used the car-shopping site to research the ILX in March also looked at the TSX. The next most cross-shopped cars against the ILX were the Acura TL and the Honda Accord. Among models offered by Honda rivals, ILX customers looked most at the Lexus CT 200h, a compact hatchback that Toyota Motor Corp.'s luxury brand is aiming at the same younger buyers Acura wants.
On the road, the 2.0 liter, four-cylinder, 150-horsepower ILX is quiet and the steering is precise. But even standing on the gas pedal doesn't produce much excitement. The 201-horsepower, 2.4 liter model is more responsive, but it only comes with a six-speed manual transmission, a deal-killer for most buyers.
The Buick Verano, like the ILX, is aimed at drawing a younger customer to the Buick brand. It comes with a four-cylinder engine, with greater horsepower than the ILX, 180. The Buick offers a six-speed automatic to the Acura's five-speed.
The real challenge makers pushing econo-luxury autos is that many cars without luxury badges on the hood offer many of the "luxury" features, and often more power, for less money. And power still matters.
Danial Hyder, 32, works in corporate finance at the Detroit area offices of Robert Bosch GmbH, a big German auto-parts supplier. Hyder said he owns an Acura MDX and a 2006 BMW 5-series. He looked at the ILX but concluded that the car didn't measure up to rivals in the same price range.
The car he ordered: a 2013 Taurus SHO, the 365-horsepower muscle car version of Ford's F, +1.13% sedate, large sedan.

When Gov. Ronald Reagan signed the California Environmental Quality Act four decades ago, it was portrayed as a process that would encourage managers of public and private projects to pay attention to and mitigate potentially adverse effects.
Over time, however, complying with CEQA became not only a torturous slog through very expensive red tape – one that elevated complex process over final product – but a tool for interest groups to engage in what can only be described as extortion.
Do something for us, they could and sometimes would implicitly threaten, or we'll tie up your project in court for years or even decades and it will die an expensive, lingering death.
Many payoff demands have absolutely nothing to do with environmental protection. CEQA has cried out for reform that would preserve its original intent and reduce gratuitous red tape and the opportunities for extortion. Gov. Jerry Brown has joined business groups in seeking reform, referring to CEQA, as now practiced, as "a blob."
But the environmental and labor groups that have used its provisions effectively have resisted major change. They dismissed Brown's reform outline out of hand; meanwhile, Senate President Darrell Steinberg's milder reform proposal, Senate Bill 731, has been criticized by business reform advocates as inadequate and in some respects worse than the status quo.
Steinberg is refocusing his effort on another late-blooming measure, Senate Bill 743, that would overhaul CEQA for just one project, a new arena in downtown Sacramento to keep the Kings team from moving elsewhere.
The streamlined CEQA process that Steinberg advocates for his hometown arena is pretty much what business groups would like to have for everything.
Environmental groups oppose it – but labor appears to be aboard, since Sacramento officials have guaranteed that all the jobs attached to the arena project would be unionized.
This is crony capitalism at its worst – giving one project special treatment because it happens to be in the district of the Senate's top leader, thus lining the pockets of team owners, labor unions and everyone else affiliated with the new arena, while denying similar treatment to everyone else.
This is not, unfortunately, a new phenomenon. We saw the same thing a few years ago for two proposed football stadiums in Los Angeles.
But the message it sends is poisonous: the notion that one must enlist powerful politicians as allies if one is to receive a pass through red tape.
Is it any wonder that Californians are increasingly alienated from those they elect to serve the larger public interest?

EAST LANSING, MICH. - Keith Appling scored a career-high 24 points and matched a personal best with seven rebounds to help Michigan State beat Florida State 65-49 Wednesday night in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
The Spartans (5-2) have won five in a row after opening the season with losses to North Carolina on an aircraft carrier in San Diego and against Duke in New York.
The Seminoles (5-3) have lost three in a row - to the Spartans, Connecticut and Harvard - since winning their first five games.
Draymond Green scored 16 points on 5-of-14 shooting and grabbed eight rebounds for the Spartans. The senior forward went over the 1,000-point mark for his career.
Michigan State's Brandon Wood had 16 points, a season-high 10 rebounds and a season-high five assists.
Bernard James had 13 points and 12 rebounds for the Seminoles and Michael Snaer scored 11.
Florida State looked much more athletic in the opening minutes, but wore down in its fourth game in seven days.
Wood's dunk midway through the second half put the Spartans ahead for good and they built a double-digit lead late in the game.
Fans at the Breslin Center turned their attention to the Big Ten's championship football game by chanting, "Beat Wis-con-sin! Beat Wis-con-sin!" late in the game.
A fired-up crowd was eerily quiet midway through the first quarter after a Michigan State cheerleader, Taylor Young, fell on her face during a performance.
The 20-year-old junior from Twin Lake, Mich., was raised into the air and fell hard onto the court during a timeout.
Jeff Kovan, the basketball team's physician, was among the medical personnel who evaluated the cheerleader. She was slowly strapped to a backboard and her head was immobilized.
The cheerleader smiled and stuck both thumbs up when the crowd cheered after she was lifted onto a stretcher.
"She's OK," Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis said.

Wendy?s has opened its first restaurant in Russia, the burgers, fries and even the ice cream drink make you feel just like you are in the United States. But Russia?s rendition of the company?s wholesome red-headed icon, Wendy, is raising some eyebrows.
It was not too long ago in Russia that choice was a dirty word, as this Wendy?s commercial from the 1980s suggests. So anything American in Russia was a big deal.
Like when the very first fast-food restaurant - McDonald's - opened in Russia here on Pushkin Square in 1990.
"It was an incredible deal. I was here," said advertising executive John Rose, owner of Rose Creative Strategies in Moscow. "First of all you have got to remember there were no restaurants, really, in Moscow at the time; very few brands. The excitement it caused was incredible. People did not have a lot of money, and the idea that they could get a Western meal for that kind of money was something special."
But that was then. Now McDonalds operates 279 restaurants throughout the country. Add Papa John?s pizza, Subway and Burger King, among others, to the mix and that means being an American company is not as exciting as it used to be.
New approach at Moscow restaurant
Victoria Hargrave, senior international projects manager at the Edelman public relations firm, said "With so many international brands here, I think being an international company has lost its appeal. I think now it is more about international companies showing they are Russian companies and that they can appeal to Russians, to the Russian sense of humor, Russian identity."
So, the Wenrus restaurant group, which operates the Wendy's chain in Russia, might be forgiven for trying to make the restaurant?s image a bit more "sexy." The restaurant itself looks the same. The wholesome, pig-tailed iconic Wendy image still adorns the façade and the walls inside.
But at various locations on Arbat Street, is a decidedly different Wendy. The little redhead is re-envisioned as actual female restaurant workers who are wearing short skirts, striped knee-high socks and stiletto heels with their pigtails. The women try to lure customers into the restaurant.
Reaching out to younger crowd
Wenrus Restaurant Group?s boss told local media that given the competition in Moscow, he wanted to appeal to a younger demographic. He said that generally, fast food customers are men between the ages of 18 and 24.
But American Scott Holder thinks it is a shame that Wendy would be given a makeover. "For me, I would personally not want it. I would personally rather keep the wholesome-type image a little more," he said.
"Hey, it is Russia. Get over it. It makes sense," said Rose.
Breaking out from the pack
Rose said Russians are not burdened by puritan values. And he pointed out that one cannot judge their tastes by American standards. "People here dress up more, women here certainly dress sexier. I think that is just part of who they are. I think it is a sexy place to be. And I do not think anyone is batting an eye... except for the people outside," he said.
One of those outsiders who is batting an eye is Wendy?s/Arby?s Group Chief Operating Officer Andrew Skehan. Russian media quoted Skehan as being surprised that Wendy, modeled after the restaurant founder?s eight-year-old daughter, had undergone an overhaul. He apparently found out when he attended the restaurant?s grand opening.
So was that really necessary? Public relations manager Victoria Hargrave said, "I am sure it must be hard. It seems that the Russian market, especially for new restaurants, is pretty competitive. So I am pretty sure any restaurant coming into the area is trying to do something new and creative to get the attention for a new opening."
American Carrie Holder said she does not get it and does not think it is necessary. "Wow, in the United States we are a lot more prude or modest with our bodies," she said.
Judging from the long lines outside the Wendy?s on Moscow?s trendy Arbat Street the past couple of weeks, sexy sells in the former Soviet Union.
Wendy's Opens First Fast-Food Restaurant in Russia
Wendy?s has opened its first restaurant in Russia, the burgers, fries and even the ice cream drink make you feel just like you are in the United States. But Russia?s rendition of the company?s wholesome red-headed icon, Wendy, is raising some eyebrows.

SOUTH Essex comedian Russell Brand has reportedly admitted dodging a train fare in the county after he "couldn't be bothered" to pay.
Brand, 38, who has been entertaining fans at the Cliffs Pavillion, Southend, told the Daily Mirror he had tailagted someone through a barrier on Wednesday.
The controversial funnyman, who has appeared in a number of Holywood movies, said: "From someone that's gone from no wealth to wealth, I know that money doesn't make me happier.
"Like I jumped the train yesterday when I had to go to Chelmsford.
"I could have got a ticket but I couldn't be bothered with the rigmarole of getting one.
"I realised all I had to do was get over a barrier so I did that and then slid out the other end behind someone."
Fare dodgers on the Greater Anglia route from London Liverpool Street could face fines of up to £60 and possible prosecution.

Over the past two decades, the number of street artists and performers in the nation has been steadily increasing. Growing numbers of young people are taking to the streets to showcase their talents and maybe earn a bit of extra money, but one would still not expect to see an elementary-school principal performing on the street.
However, Peng Huan-chang (彭煥彰), the principal of Beipu Elementary School in Hsinchu County's Beipu Township (北埔), breaks this stereotype with his second career as a street musician.
Though he may not be the type of person one would imagine as a busker, Peng says that being a street performer does not conflict with his profession; rather, it complements it.
"We teach our children that music is good for you, and if that holds true, what's wrong with the principal of a school performing music on the street that everyone can enjoy?" Peng said.
The 45-year-old principal hit upon the idea of street performance in 2008, when he was principal of Shakeng Elementary School. Teachers at the school were encouraged to form clubs, so Peng invited other faculty members who loved music for jam sessions and they eventually formed a band.
Doubling as the band's frontman and lead guitarist, Peng said the band originally only planned to perform for students on special occasions such as birthday parties, but their performances were so well received that they started playing at social functions on behalf of the school.
"We included the school's name in our band name, which was Sha Hen Da (沙很大)," Peng said, adding that the band was even invited by a technology company to perform at the firm's year-end banquet.
"That was a major boost to our morale and confidence," Peng said, adding that the invitation had motivated the band members to apply for a street performers' license. "It was a test of whether we were professional enough as musicians to be given a license to perform."
The band joined the Hsinchu County Association for Music in 2010 and received a street artist's license in 2011.
After Peng was transferred to Beipu Elementary School, he became even more active in promoting the arts in education, hosting periodic talent shows to encourage students to sing, dance or act.
"The shows serve as a platform for children to train themselves to showcase their talents and to develop the courage to be on stage," Peng said. "The purpose of education is to bring out students' potential and let them develop the knowledge and wisdom that will help them improve themselves."
Principals are not meant to lock themselves in the office, they are meant to eliminate the distance between themselves and their students, Peng said, adding that when the students saw him playing his guitar outside of school, it made them more confident and more willing to exhibit their own talents.
"Once students have confidence in themselves, they can better realizer their full potential at school," the principal said.
Lee Kuo-lu (李國祿), the deputy director of the Hsinchu County Government's Bureau of Education, said Peng was a passionate educator and not afraid to express himself, adding that the effect he had on his students was admirable.
"He teaches by example and the results are simply astounding," Lee said.
Kuan Wu-te (官武德), the parent of a student at Beipu Elementary School, said: "I've been to see the performances organized by principal Peng and have seen that he really goes out of his way to interact with the children and share his talent with them."

Topic: feature request: domainadmin is able to edit & activate users vacation
i'd like to see this feature:
domainadmin is able to edit & activate users vacation inside iRedAdmin-Pro
Works on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, OpenBSD
You are not logged in. Please login or register.
iRedMail → iRedAdmin-Pro Support → feature request: domainadmin is able to edit & activate users vacation
i'd like to see this feature:
domainadmin is able to edit & activate users vacation inside iRedAdmin-Pro
Current, vacation support in iRedMail is implemented as sieve script, but we have no plan to manage sieve rules in iRedAdmin-Pro. So this feature won't be achieved (at least in several feature releases).
Ok. I see. As we dont offer webmail to all customers and not all others really use webmail we would need such a functionality inside iredadminpro. Can we add this functionality on our own or can we sponsor such a development? Thanx a lot.
if i would try to do that. is there some plugin api to use, or do i need to hack the whole thing and wont be able to upgrade then? what about sponsored development for the pro version (i mean adding it to the ose doesnt make sense anyway as there are no domain-admins)? if sponsored developments are not officially offered, are there some third parties around that might be interested? and another question if we hack it into pro version, can we sell the patch/plugin?
No plugin api available yet, sorry. You have to modify related source files of iRedAdmin-Pro (HTML/Python), and maintain your patch to make it work with future releases of iRedAdmin-Pro for your personal use.
I think you can sell the patch/plugin, but be careful, you cannot re-sell iRedAdmin-Pro.
hm. ok i try myself, despite i personally think its a bad idea, but this feature is really a show stopper for us.
i could not find out what account is used as sieve "admin" to edit sieve rules for another user? i checked the generated "tips" file, but seems its none from there. i tried with system-root directly via telnet, but did not work. any idea? thanx
i always see this error: "Attempted master login with no master passdbs"
btw: i finished the sieve lib for a very simple but not so well maintained vacation-plugin for roundcube "rcvacation" (some fixes and working now also with forwards). if you're interested see here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=d … id=1168574 .the template needs to be fixed also: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=d … id=1168574 this implementation relies on the 5.2 version of "managesieve" plugin which needs to be installed, BUT not activated.
in the end i try to do the same inside iredMail-pro as a new "tab" in user-settings... but i dont know python yet and i'll just call a php script that handles the sieve calls. inside roundcube we know the user and his password. inside iRedMail not. at least not to authenticate at sieve in plain. dont know yet if i can authenticate with the password-hash from the db. but if i can use that sieve-"admin" it would work... thanx
You need to config Dovecot to enable "master user", so that you can login as other user via managesieve protocol.
- http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers
- http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers
If you want to implement this in Python programming language, try python module "sievelib" or "managesieve".
The admin-Pro should be able to add or modify vacation to the users.
And the admin should be able to see the current filter, so the admin can help the users with any problem (support).
It is possible?
Hi Ari,
Here's another discussion: http://www.iredmail.org/forum/topic4398 … panel.html
