Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.
I didn't get my copy of the email yesterday, either.
I sent forward lots of complaints from others.
I consider the emails useless junk and never use them anyway.
I am not at all involved in the emailing of the digests and newsletters.
The only thing I can do is send this forward.
I hope they find a solution for you soon.
The first and most important thing to remember is that the emails are not the board.
They are only a link to a smattering of thread links.
They are rarely the newest threads and barely scratch the surface of all that's available here.
If you know you want to come to the board often, the emails are a waste of time.
they slow you down.
why wait for an email?
You never need those emails to connect to the board.
Just come straight to http://www.quiltingboard.com

Even though you have asked to receive the emails, many services treat them like junk anyway.
They disable the links or send them straight to spam/junk.
They sometimes don't make it through to user inboxes – not even to the junk folders.

John DiStaso's Granite Status: Huckabee quietly visits NH, meets with top 2008 campaign backersBy John DiStaso, Senior Political Reporter
February 28. 2014 5:17PM
FRIDAY, FEB. 28: HUCKABEE WAS HERE. It remains to be seen if he'll run again for President in 2016, but former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is making the rounds in key states -- now including New Hampshire.
The Granite Status has learned that Huckabee slipped in and out of the first-primary state Friday and spent about 90 minutes meeting with a handful of top members of his 2007-2008 "band."
The meeting took place in Manchester, shortly before Huckabee appeared at a Radisson Hotel meeting of the American Renewal Project, a national group headed by evangelical Christian David Lane that encourages conservative pastors to become more involved in politics.
Huckabee has spoken to chapters of the pastors' group in other states, and he has separately met with small groups of supporters and business leaders in fellow early voting states Iowa and South Carolina.
Friday's meeting here included only Huckabee and the inner circle from his 2007-2008 presidential run in the Granite State. He finished a strong third in that primary behind John McCain and Mitt Romney.
Deb Vander Beek, his state campaign manager seven years ago, confirmed she and Huckabee were joined by fellow top Granite State Huckabee campaign advisers and staffers, including Bob Clegg, Cliff Hurst and Periklis Karoutas.
Given Huckabee's strong showing in national and some early state polls, she said, "We are of course encouraging him to run again."
Vander Beek said Huckabee "has made it clear he's not made any decision about the race, but we thought this was a good time to talk to him about it.
"It's been seven years and I don't think a week goes by where I don't talk to somebody who wants to know if the governor will run again.
"Looking at the landscape and the kind of candidate he was and could be again, we felt pretty strongly that we wanted to encourage him to think about it," she said.
While Vander Beek was reluctant to speculate on Huckabee's plans, his close national adviser, Hogan Gidley, told CNN in December he believes Huckabee is more serious about running than he was four years ago.
"It's a different tone and tenure this time than four years ago," said Gidley said. "This is more of a 'I'm-seriously-taking-a-look-at-it' tone."
Vander Beek added, "We are definitely encouraging him to run, to look at the landscape and what he could bring to the race. It was a really good conversation.
"We wanted to let him know that he has a lot of fans in New Hampshire," she said.
"He was very appreciative of the conversation and made it clear he's listening to and talking to people, but as for his thinking, I just don't know."
Huckabee will return to the state on April 12 to appear at the "Freedom Summit" organized by the Americans for Prosperity Foundation and Citizens United.

Our latest review is for the Calphalon 12-in. Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Everyday Pan .
We can see why this is called an 'everyday' pan because it has such a multitude of uses.
It also looks good with its satin finish interior and could easily be transferred from stovetop to table as an elegant serving dish.
But most importantly you should be assured of good cooking results with this pan. The aluminum core ensures even heating and quick responses to temperature changes.

Scandals are besetting the Obama administration so rapidly that it is hard to keep track of them. So far, I don't believe we have said anything about the revelation that the Department of Justice secretly accessed several months worth of Associated Press telephone records. The AP is on the warpath:
Reporters across The Associated Press are outraged over the Justice Department's sweeping seizure of staff phone records — and they say such an intrusion could chill their relationships with confidential sources.
In conversations with POLITICO on Tuesday, several AP staffers in Washington, D.C., described feelings of anger and frustration with the DOJ and with the Obama administration in general. …
[T]op executives from the wire service have mounted an aggressive public pushback against DOJ, calling its snooping a "massive and unprecedented intrusion" in a letter fired off to Attorney General Eric Holder.
Some are calling DOJ's action "an unprecedented assault on press freedom." But one thing I haven't heard anyone say is that DOJ's seizure of the AP phone records was illegal. I assume the department obtained whatever warrant was needed. Assuming that is the case, where, exactly, does the scandal lie? DOJ accessed the records as part of an investigation into who leaked classified information to the AP in connection with a story about Yemen. Eric Holder explained during a news conference today:
The leak that prompted the seizure of journalist phone records at a US news agency was a "very serious" matter which "puts the American people at risk," Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday.
Responding to fierce criticism of a violation of news media rights, Holder said, "I've been a prosecutor since 1976. And I have to say that this is among, if not the most serious… leaks I've ever seen."
"This was a… very, very serious leak," Holder told reporters at a news conference.
"That's not hyperbole. Puts the American people at risk. And trying to determine who is responsible for that, I think, required very aggressive action." …
The AP said its story disclosed details of a CIA operation in Yemen that stopped an Al-Qaeda plot in 2012 to detonate a bomb on an airplane bound for the United States.
This is one more in a long series of instances where the Barack Obama and his minions, now that they actually have responsibility for national security, have done a 180-degree turn. Remember during the Bush administration, when leakers fed the Washington Post and the New York Times classified information about the administration's anti-terror techniques? And remember how the only consequence of those leaks, which damaged national security at least as surely as the AP's Yemen story, was a series of Pulitzer Prizes? And remember how every single person on the Left–if there were any exceptions, you could count them on the fingers of one hand–applauded the newspapers and the leakers, and ridiculed the Bush administration's efforts to keep secrets?
The shoe is on the other foot now, and I can't say that I have a lot of sympathy for the Associated Press. No doubt the AP is shocked that its good friends in the Obama administration, for whom AP reporters have shamelessly shilled for the last five years, would double-cross them in this manner. But that's life in the city, especially when the city is Washington, D.C. Reporters are up in arms now that their own First Amendment rights are allegedly threatened. But where were they when the administration was trying to take away our Second Amendment rights? They were part of the cheering section, for the most part.
So if there is any scandal associated with the administration's seizure of the AP's telephone records, I have yet to see what it might be.
PAUL ADDS: I agree with John, and had planned to make the same argument. I'm glad John went first because he states the case better than I would have.
It's possible that, if we learn more, we could find that the Justice Department went beyond the bounds of a proper investigation. But I see no evidence of this now.

Do you live in a state that still holds high regard for the Second Amendment?
The map seen above comes from the Brady Campaign, a group pushing for more stringent gun laws. Based on Brady's scoring system, red states have the most relaxed laws when it comes to gun ownership. Green states are those with the toughest limitations for anyone hoping to exercise their constitutionally guaranteed gun rights.
The Brady group scores states on a variety of topics – things like state license requirements and background checks on all purchases. No state scores a perfect 100 with Brady, but California gets an 81, and that is before any new laws that will get put in place following the Sandy Hook massacre.
At the top of Brady's "best" (the most restrictive) states are:
- California
- Connecticut
- New York
- New Jersey
- Massachusetts
- Hawaii
Leading the "worst" list (according to Brady) are three states that might be considered the "best" states for gun owners. All three scored a ZERO on the Brady checklist. Getting a zero is probably like scoring 100 in the eyes of a firearms fan. Meet the "zeros":
- Arizona
- Alaska
- Utah
Rounding out the rest of the top 10 best states for gun ownership (based on Brady) appear to be:
- North Dakota
- Oklahoma
- Florida
- Wisconsin
- Texas
- Wyoming
- Mississippi
If you are a gun owner, it is likely that you already know the laws in your state because you had to jump through whatever hoops required in order to secure a firearm. But what do you know about gun laws in the rest of the country?
- If you have to move to another state, will you be able to bring your guns with you?
- What about traveling with a gun? Can you drive across country with a weapon? (Air and train travel have specific limitations.)
- If you have a concealed carry permit in one state, is it recognized in other states?
Considering concealed carry rights, unlike a drivers license, not every state respects or acknowledges the concealed carry permits from other states. If you are planning on moving or traveling to another state, and you want to bring your weapon(s) with you, it is wise to constantly look into the laws of the place you are going. At least one website is attempting to stay abreast of the changes in the laws.
The map below is all about "concealed carry" rights. The light blue colored states "shall issue" permits, the khaki-colored states are those that "may issue" ccw permits, the yellow states require that you be a resident of the state in order to get a carry permit. And the red states (there's only one state – Illinois and the District of Columbia) are places where citizens cannot even apply for a carry permit.
(We do realize that the Illinois ban was overturned in December of 2012, and the state has 180 days to come up with a new plan. An appeal is expected soon.)
There's even an iPhone and Android app called "legal heat" that you can download on your phone to carry every state's concealed carry laws with you.
As changes to gun laws in states are constantly evolving, we recommend that you always keep up with the laws in your state and community.

Canada completes stunning gold-medal comeback
SOCHI, Russia
To think it came that close to being over.
A wobbling puck bounced off the post of an empty net with 83 seconds left in the game of a lifetime — with Canadian goaltender Shannon Szabados on the bench for an extra attacker and an American team, which had played almost perfectly for 57 minutes, up 2-1. The U.S. was that close to Olympic gold.
About 40 minutes later, after improbable scoring, questionable refereeing and stunning shifts in momentum, the Americans were crying and Marie-Philip Poulin, who wrote herself into hockey history, was standing with a Canadian flag and a gold medal around her neck — following a 3-2 win for Canada in the women's hockey final.
You want to talk big-time players?
Poulin, a 22-year-old from Quebec City, scored the Golden Goal — her second goal of the game and her second gold-medal winning goal. She scored both goals for Canada four years ago in a 2-0 win over the U.S. in Vancouver.
She's probably tired, but is there any way she could dress for Team Canada in the men's semifinal against the Americans on Friday?
"It's an amazing moment," said Poulin, who was out until January with a high ankle sprain. "We all know it was a team effort. We never gave up. I'm so happy we got it back. It was a great journey.
"To be back here with my jersey on and a gold medal around my neck is the best thing ever."
Poulin delivered Canada's fourth Olympic gold medal in a row with a power-play goal at 8:10 of overtime after Kevin Dineen's team scored two goals in the final three-and-a-half minutes of the third period to tie a game the Americans had wrapped an iron fist around.
Poulin snapped home a shot from the left wing circle behind USA goaltender Jessie Vetter with American Hilary Knight in the penalty box after a bizarre sequence that saw Canadian veteran Hayley Wickenheiser get brushed from behind by Knight on a breakaway. After Wickenheiser fell, British referee Joy Tottman at first appeared to be signalling a penalty shot by pointing to centre ice, then opted to give Knight a cross-checking penalty.
Incredible drama.
Working the left side of a 4-on-3 power play, Poulin scored her second of the night and triggered a wild swarm of red and white as the Canadians celebrated in the corner to Vetter's right in the Bolshoy Ice Dome.
Team Canada veteran Jayna Hefford, now a four-time gold medallist, said Poulin is the best player in the world.
Dineen agreed.
"There's something there with (Poulin). She doesn't speak a lot, but I always kind of catch her eye," said Dineen. "There's something in her eye that spells 'big-game player.' She showed that in Vancouver. I think she put a major stamp on that today."
The goal ended a night that soared with drama. Tottman had a lot to do with it, giving the Americans a power play at 6:09 of overtime when Canadian defenceman Catherine Ward ran over an American beside the net and got called for cross-checking. Tottman then evened it up with about as cheap a slashing call as you will see on USA's Jocelyne Lamoureux, who tapped Szabados' pads after she made a save.
Then, with the players playing 3-on-3 on the big ice — it looked like they were playing on Lake Superior — Wickenheiser broke away and Knight was given the penalty after they both spilled to the ice.
With Knight in the box, Poulin took a pass from Laura Fortino, turned and buried it.
Minutes later, the players were waving flags thrown to them by Canadians in the stands and listening to an impromptu version of O Canada sung by the crowd.
With less than four minutes to play and the Americans looking like they would win their first gold since Nagano in 1998, Oakville's Brianne Jenner made a power move on the left wing and banked a shot in off the knee of American defenceman Kacey Bellamy to give Canada some life.
That's when USA's Kelli Stack almost ended it with Szabados on the bench for the extra attacker. Her shot at the empty net hit the post, but only after the linesman blocked a Canadian player from chasing it down.
"That's how you just know that it wasn't our night," said Stack. "The puck literally just missed going in by an inch. So we just have to tell ourselves that everything happens for a reason and if we were meant to win gold medals that puck would have went in the back of the net."
Wickenheiser was just hoping for a break.
"I just said, 'sweep, sweep it. Get it wide.' I didn't think it was going to go in by the angle, but you never know," she said. "It turned the game around, really gave us another life. I mean, what a finish."
Poulin tied it with 55 seconds left in the third when a puck glanced off Vetter's stick and she cut across the net to put it in the far side.
"I think this team is built for pressure. That's four in a row now," said Szabados. "I think the more pressure that's on this team the better we play."
And leading the way is Poulin, the girl with the Golden Goal and another gold medal.

Another delay: Obamacare on the flyEDITORIAL
March 27. 2014 4:19PM
This week's Obamacare delay was number 38, per The Wall Street Journal's count. It is hard to keep up, in part because there are so many delays and exemptions, and in part because the administration endlessly lies about them and the law.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said "No, sir" when asked by a member of Congress during a hearing whether the March 31 enrollment deadline would be extended. She said that not last year, but earlier this month. Last October she claimed that the rollout problems stemmed from the law mandating that signups begin Oct. 1. In fact, as the Associated Press pointed out, the law did not set that date, she did.
The administration's misdirections and deceptions are legion and why National Review editor Rich Lowry this week delightfully dubbed Sebelius "the Bagdhad Bob of health insurance."
At this point, why bother passing laws at all? Why not send Congress home for the next two years and let the President run the country at will? To govern with his pen, unencumbered by the will or resistance of the people, is what Obama desperately wants. If it is OK for him to do that with Obamacare, why not with the rest of the federal government? What is the limiting principle that would apply to everything else but Obamacare? If Obama's apologists cannot answer that question, maybe they should rethink their uncritical support.

Dry cuticles can be so painful. It's amazing how sometimes the smallest area of your body can cause the most grief. If you've had dry, cracked cuticles, you know exactly what I'm talking about. We're in mid-September now, which means the cold, blustery weather is well on its way. Take some times to learn how to treat your cuticles and see if you can ward off the painful problem this fall and winter.
Don't Cut Them. If you've ever had a manicure, you probably think that's crazy advice, but the reality is, cutting your cuticles can cause them to become infected and leaves them jagged and prone to painful cracking. Continue on with your manicure, just tell the nail technician to skip the cuticle cutting. (Yes, even if she tries to talk you into it.) Cuticles really do serve a purpose in protecting the nail bed from infection and when well cared for do not take away from a nail's appearance.
Apply Lotion After Every Washing. It's so important to moisturize our hands after every washing in the fall and winter because the elements zap the moisturizer right out of our cuticles and nails. Put a tube of hand cream next the soap at your sink to remind you. And always have one in your handbag or at your desk at work.
Apply Oil Every Night Before Bed. They make specialty nail oils, Solar Oil for example, but any oil will do, even your olive oil. The reason we recommend doing this at night is because you are already taking time to do your night time skin care routine so one extra step is totally doable. Plus, during the day there are way too many unexpected hand washings to be sure the oil has time to fully soak into your skin. Rub the oil into your cuticles and nails as they will both benefit. For an extra special treat, buy some Vitamin E capsules and pierce one each night, dotting your cuticles with the oil and rub in. You'll notice benefits right away.
Wear Gloves. When you're doing housework, especially dishes, wear gloves. The constant in and out of water mixed with the harsh chemicals that you are using to de-grease are putting your delicate nails and cuticles through the ringer. Get a pair of work gloves and go about your work knowing you're not damaging your nails. Also, don't forget to wear winter gloves all season long.

Chicago White Sox Details
Chicago White Sox
The White Sox, originally called the White Stockings, were a founding member of the American League in 1901. The White Sox won the World Series in 1917 with a team that included "Shoeless" Joe Jackson. In 1919, the White Sox played in a best-of-nine World Series that they lost to the Cincinnati Reds. The 1919 Series is best known for the infamous Black Sox scandal: members of the White Sox accepted a $5000 bribe to intentionally lose the Series. Eight members of the White Sox, including Jackson (though many still argue he was innocent), were banned from baseball forever.
After the scandal, the White Sox faced a long championship drought. They reached the Series just once (in 1959) before they finally won in 2005. The White Sox beat the Houston Astros in four games to capture their first title in almost 90 years. The 2005 Red Sox were known for their dominant pitching, led by all-star Mark Buehrle, but right fielder Jermaine Dye was named MVP of the World Series. Dye had a .438 batting average in the Series, and he hit the tie-breaking home run to win Game 4.
The White Sox play at Guaranteed Rate Field, on Chicago's south side (Wrigley Field, home to the Cubs, is located on the north side). The park opened in 1991.
The White Sox hired Rick Renteria to take over as manager for the 2017 season. Renteria did not fare well in his first season with the Sox: Chicago placed fourth in the American League Central and finished 18 games back of a Wild Card spot (in fact, the White Sox have never made the playoffs as a Wild Card team). Jose Abreu was a bright spot for the Sox: he hit 33 home runs and had a batting average above .300. Nevertheless, the team did a lot of work in preparation for the future, and have some of the brightest prospects in the game right now. Chicago fans will be eager to see if 2018 is the year those pieces come into place around core players Abreu and Avisail Garcia.

A winner was selected from 29 designs submitted by 8 freelance designers.
"Schweaty Bongo" is the name of my girlfriends favorite summer drink and she also coined the name so this website is a tribute to her and this great summertime drink -- the drink is a "Captain Morgan with the Frozen Minute Maid Lemonade Concentrate" from the can and only the frozen can.
The site is dedicated to spreading the word of this drink and the name that she has coined for it. We'd like to get people upload their pics, vids and write about the drink.
The site design should promote these two products specifically so you know that it's a drink when you get to the site. The color scheme we're looking for or feel the site is something like tropical, saturdays, friends, cabanaish, hammocky, tiki, lazy and relaxing. We'll tell the funny story of how the name came to be and want others to share their experience with written word, pictures or videos of them making and enjoying their "Schweaty Bongos".

Baltimore's CitiWatch program includes a video surveillance system that connects more than a thousand cameras controlled by more than 50 federal, state and local agencies and non-governmental organizations. It uses a Physical Security Information Management system to correlate information, but making it work requires more than technology.
With thousands of cameras providing round-the-clock surveillance of Baltimore, the CitiWatch surveillance program turned to a video analysis platform from VidSys to help make sense of all of the data. Read more.
"You have to build partnerships with the private sector, and you need to have their trust," said Baltimore police Lt. Sam Hood, CitiWatch's director of law enforcement operations.
This requires a program that sets limits on the access and control of each player. In Baltimore, this means that CitiWatch personnel have access to video feeds from other departments, but they do not control the cameras.
"You stay in your lane," Hood said. Monitors can use a Maryland Transit Administration camera to follow a suspect from the street to a subway platform, for instance, but they cannot move the MTA camera. Clear limits on control can enable sharing among departments that in the past were reluctant to grant access. "There are no more lines in the sand," Hood said.
Having the right people in place also is important. CitiWatch is a separate organization rather than a part of the Baltimore Police Department. There are three full-time police officers assigned to it, along with two people from the mayor's IT office, but the bulk of the staff is made up of 29 retired policemen who monitor the system.
"When we started we used volunteers, but it wasn't effective and it wasn't consistent," Hood said. Retired cops have the experience needed to work in a police environment. "They can communicate, they have the prerequisite knowledge and skill to work with the officers." They operate directly on the police radio network rather than through a dispatcher or the 911 answering center.
CitiWatch is growing, having added 200 of its own cameras in 2012, but Hood envisions a system in the not-too-distant future that will depend on the public rather than a dedicated infrastructure.
"I don't need to buy a lot of cameras," he said. "Eventually, everybody is carrying a camera. I just have to find a way to get that video to me."
He is working on a program to bring crowdsourced video into CitiWatch via social media, getting near-real-time access instead of issuing pleas for information through the news and waiting for responses.
In the near-term, CitiWatch is developing a database of privately owned video surveillance cameras not included in its network so that the police can gather data quickly in the wake of a crime or other incident, rather than waiting for someone to come forward with it.

Must ask, what have we become so scared of that we must use surveillance to this extreme.Cities have not become more dangerous and this obsession to invade privacy will not address what is actuall killing us. Therefore it is irrational and driven by fear or perhaps just boys with toys who like to play cop. What is ACTUALLY KILLING US in VERY LARGE NUMBERS is what we should focus on such as from +Common flu (36k/yr), +Cars (359,000/yr), +Gun suicides (19,392/yr), +Gun homocides (11,078/yr), +Workplace deaths (4,693/yr), ++Medical mistakes (44,000 to 98,000 per yr). Just because you can spend money surveillance technology rather than on what are the REAL threats to us does not mean you should.

Step By Step by Billy Warren (click to enlarge)
The Buffalo Evening News, February 11, 1937

President Franklin D. Roosevelt was fairly popular when he took office in 1933. As his presidency progressed, he championed "New Deal" programs to pull the United States out of Great Depression. Some saw these programs as just what the nation needed; others viewed them as examples of government overreach.
By the end of FDR's first term, the nation was slipping into a new recession and FDR's policies and actions were being carefully scrutinized and criticized. In 1937, Roosevelt presented controversial plans to reorganize the executive and the judiciary branches of government. Congress raised strong objections that the executive reorganization, presented as a way of making government more efficient, would upset the balance of power between the branches. Critics assailed the plan to reorganize the judiciary as "court-packing," that is, making sure the court was full of FDR supporters, because the plan proposed the addition of several justices to the Supreme Court. The court had ruled several pieces of New Deal legislation unconstitutional, so the proposal was widely perceived as an attempt to ensure favorable rulings.
Americans had witnessed the rise of dictatorships in Europe by this time, and FDR's critics feared FDR was claiming too much power. The cartoon by Billy Warren for the Buffalo Evening News in 1937 depicts those fears by showing Roosevelt taking steps towards dictatorship.

Two brothers and some friends have turned an idea into the first major barbecue competition and festival in downtown Spartanburg.
Two brothers and some friends have turned an idea into the first major barbecue competition and festival in downtown Spartanburg.
The Hub City Hog Fest will feature 35 barbecue teams, music, vendors, a children's play zone and more. The two-day event is scheduled for 2 to 10 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday at RJ Rockers Brewing Company, 226-A W. Main St.
Tickets are $5 each day or $10 for both days. All of the proceeds will benefit Mobile Meals of Spartanburg.
"My brother and I were in the Blue Ridge BBQ competition in Tryon (N.C.), and we noticed there were so many teams from Spartanburg going to other places to compete," said Grey Wicker, one of the organizers. "We decided, 'Why not have a barbecue competition here?' "
Barbecue lovers will be able to sample ribs, brisket and butts in the contest sanctioned by the S.C. Barbeque Association. The teams will get started Friday and will be provided with the meats to use. The winners will be announced Saturday afternoon.
"The South Carolina Barbeque Association holds about 30 competitions," said Grey Wicker. "They were glad to have one in Spartanburg."
The brothers and some friends thought about the idea for about a year and then organized a committee. The group presented the idea to the city of Spartanburg and Mobile Meals. The idea was well received, so they began making arrangements for the fundraiser.
Holding a benefit for Mobile Meals was important to both Cal and Grey Wicker, because they take turns working with their mother on a Mobile Meals route.
"I have been blown away by all of the support," said Cal Wicker, one of the organizers. "People love barbecue and they love Mobile Meals."
Jayne McQueen, president and CEO of Mobile Meals, said the organization's budget is $1.7 million this year. She said the program is a nonprofit and receives no government funding. Mobile Meals delivers about 1,500 to 1,800 meals each weekday throughout the county to homebound residents unable to prepare food for themselves. She said she is proud of the Wicker brothers because they started delivering meals when they were young teens.
"Cal and Grey started delivering in junior and senior high schools," McQueen said. "Grey continued to contribute when he was in law school. Each has his own route. It is very special to see that kind of commitment. They are very special young men. I am very excited about the Hog Fest. … I think the event will be a winner for Spartanburg, a winner for all of those who attend and Mobile Meals."
Another part of the plan was to hold the benefit in downtown. Organizers selected the West Main Street area because of the entertainment outlets and growth potential. Several blocks along West Main Street and Daniel Morgan Avenue have been nicknamed the "Grain District" in honor of the area's history of grain refinement."
"We thought this would be a great idea to bring downtown because there has been a lot of movement and growth," Cal Wicker said. "We want to be part of the movement. This is our first year for the Hog Fest, but we have had a lot of discussions about making it an annual event. This could be something that Spartanburg can hang its hat on for years."

New York style Jewish Rye - anyone got an authentic recipe pls?
Hi folks. Just wondering if any New Yorkers - or others - might be willing to share a great recipe for an authentic NY Rye they can swear by from personal baking experience? Googling brings up plenty of promising-looking recipes (eg: this one [1]) and I probably have a recipe or three in my bread books, but would prefer to begin with a tried-and-true recipe from another TFL tribe member.
I usually use a whole-grain organic rye in my SD breads, but fellow Perth-based TFLer Yozzause has recently kindly provided me with some light organic rye - thought this was a perfect opportunity to sample something close to the classic NY deli sandwich, pastrami on rye. Would prefer to fly to NY for the real deal, of course, but that ain't gonna happen right now, so...anyone?
Best of baking all!

FARO, Portugal (AP) — Nestled on the southern coast of Portugal, Faro is the heart of the country's Algarve region, where cerulean waters and mouthwatering cuisine rival those of the French Riviera or Italy's Amalfi coast.
But unlike some beach towns that are all sun and no soul, Faro is more than postcard-perfect views. There are charming walkways, a walled historic town and pristine islands. Here are some tips for experiencing what the city has to offer.
Enter Faro's walled old town through the neoclassical arch of the Arco da Vila and traipse through cobblestoned streets, towering stone facades and the curved arches, some of which date to 13th century Moorish rule. From the Largo da Se, a square lined with orange trees and surrounded by an 18th-century Bishop's Palace, there's easy access to a 19th-century Town Hall and a cathedral. Ascend the tower for great views of the town, the Ria Formosa lagoons, and the trail of shrubs and flowers that crown the top edges of these historic walls.
Seek inspiration for your own walls at the Faro Municipal Museum, Trem Gallery and other artistic haunts sprinkled throughout the old town, or at a number of shops, where iconic Portuguese tiles, with intricate blue designs painted onto porcelain white backgrounds, start at 5 euros apiece.
Outside the old city, a network of walkways without a car in sight provides a pleasant stroll through the litany of boutiques and restaurants. Sample local fare at the always bustling Pasterlaria Bijou, 33 Rua Santo Antonio, a popular café that offers regional delicacies like Florentinas, caramelized almond layers, and marzipan in twee shapes filled with sweet egg yolk.
Walkways in and around this area are practically works of art, with black and white stones arranged in intricate patterns that form borders, shapes (such as fish and sea horses), building names, and important dates in the city's history.
Not to be missed but also not for the faint of the heart, the walls of the Capela do Ossos (Chapel of Bones) inside the Carmo Church are lined with skulls and human remains (1 euro; open weekdays).
For modern versions of grit, scope out the impressively detailed graffiti murals, which range from political to flat-out funny and swath walls around town. Not even trains are spared from the spray painter's mark, turning the transportation system into rainbow-hued blur as they chug along the tracks hugging the coastline.
In summer, locals gather by the marina to watch free performances by beautifully costumed folk groups of traditional song and dance.
Approximately 4 miles (6.5 kilometers) from the city center lies Praia de Faro, an easy bus ride (1.70 euros) away and the only beach in town that's accessible by road. The beach is a spit of sand on the Ilha de Faro (Faro Island), with one side facing outward into the ocean and the other inland toward the lagoon.
But the most breathtaking scenery can be found on Ilha Deserta— http://ilha-deserta.com — an island that is well-worth the half-hour boat ride. Round-trip ferry service is 10 euros, while longer guided tours of the island and surrounding lagoon go for 25 euros. The impressive variety of plants and birds, along with the lighthouses looming over the craggy coast, make for a serene and visually interesting nature walk. On a weekday, there might only be a handful of people on the white sand beach.
Fishermen's huts are clustered on one end of the island, but the only real building belongs to Estamine, a solar-powered restaurant whose floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic views. The somewhat pricey menu specializes in seafood, most of which was likely caught that day. To bask in the ambience without shelling out the cost of an entire meal, opt for a regional dessert like warm figs a la mode (6.50 euros), coffee (1-3 euros) or few sips of vinho verde, which translates to "green wine." (Green is a reference to the wine's age — it is not aged long — rather than its color, though it's often a dry white.) Intrepid travelers who bring tents can camp on the beach and share the island with the only other overnight residents, fishermen on the lookout for the next day's catch.
If You Go...
FARO, PORTUGAL: http://www.visitportugal.com/NR/exeres/DDB6DCA5-D0D1-4870-B49D-8C93BBC83043,frameless.htm
By air: As an international hub and a regional entry point, Faro is as accessible as Portugal's largest cities. Flights are operated by several airlines, including the national carrier, TAP Portugal, and low-cost airlines like Ryanair and easyJet. Faro Airport (airport code: FAO) is just under 4 miles (6.5 kilometers) from the city center, with easy transfers by bus (1.70 euros) or cab (about 10 euros).
By ground transport: A train station and a central bus stop, located minutes from each other in the heart of town, make it easy to pop over to nearby seaside resorts or roam to the other side of the country. CP, the national train operator, provides reliable domestic service, though there are no international routes directly to or from Faro. Bus options include long-distance routes operated by Rede Nacional de Expressos, the national bus line, and shorter trips on EVA, a regional operator. For a taste of neighboring Spain, there are several daily buses to Seville.

Ceremony Completes Transformation from Law Students to Lawyers
Justice Lanzinger Speaks at Toledo Leadership Academy Graduation
January 1, 2005 - present
Last day of current term: December 31, 2016
Judith Ann Lanzinger is the only person ever elected to all four levels of Ohio's judiciary. Now in her second Supreme Court term, over the last 31 years she has also served on the 6th District Court of Appeals, the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas and the Toledo Municipal Court. And with Joshua Lanzinger joining the municipal bench in 2013, for the first time a mother and son are serving together as state court judges.
Judith Hodorowski was the granddaughter of coal-miners and daughter of a carpenter. After grade school, believing she had a religious vocation, she joined the Sisters of St. Francis in Sylvania, attended Lourdes Jr. College, and then taught as Sr. William Ann at St. Jude elementary school in Toledo. After leaving the order as a novice, she enrolled at the University of Toledo and received her bachelor's degree magna cum laude in education and English. She married Robert Lanzinger and started a family while continuing to teach and before earning a law degree cum laude at the University of Toledo College of Law where she was valedictorian of her class. She was named Distinguished Alumna of her alma mater in 2012.Before taking the bench, Justice Lanzinger worked in Toledo Edison's legal department and was a Shumaker, Loop and Kendrick associate attorney. Later, as a judge, she won scholarships to earn a master's degree in Judicial Studies from the University of Nevada, Reno and the National Judicial College. She has been on the NJC faculty since 1990. She taught trial practice for 18 years at her former law school, as well as judicial courses throughout the U.S. and in the former Soviet Union.
The Justice Judy blog (http://justicejudy.blogspot.com) was started by the justice in 2010 to comment generally about the legal profession and the law. The blog combines her interests in technology and writing. She chaired the committee that published the first Supreme Court Writing Manual in 2012, which is used by the court for its opinions. She was the first chair of the Commission on the Rules of Superintendence that created rules of access to court records. In 2015, she was appointed to the Recodification Committee of the 130th Ohio General Assembly.
For nearly 30 years the justice has been active in judicial associations. She was a chairperson and a board member of the Ohio Judicial College. She was president of the Morrison R. Waite American Inn of Court, which mentors young lawyers. She was a member of the Ohio Courts Futures Commission and the Supreme Court of Ohio Board of Professional Conduct, as well as the Ohio Criminal Sentencing Commission.
Justice Lanzinger has received a variety of awards during her career. Among them are the Toledo Junior Bar's Order of the Heel and the Arabella Babb Mansfield Award from the Toledo Women's Bar Association, both given for helping young lawyers. Her outside interests include music and art. She is grateful to the public for allowing her to serve as a judge for three decades.
Married for more than 48 years, the justice and her husband, Robert, live in Toledo and, along with their son, also have a daughter and son-in-law, both attorneys, and three grandchildren who keep her enjoying life.

I know what you've read and heard. Peter King, NFL savant for Sports Illustrated, loooooves him some Eagles draft. Well, true as that might be, it doesn't mean Peter thinks the Eagles will even win the NFL East division this season.
That is, if you ascribe to King's post-draft, post-free agency power rankings of the 32 NFL teams.
Now, No. 6 isn't so bad, and that's where King places the Eagles. He still loooooves the additions of Jeremy Maclin and LeSean McCoy to the offense.
"I think this team gives (Donovan McNabb) a better chance than the first Terrell Owens team in Philly," King writes.
But, but, but, the Giants are ranked third in the league? Third! The choking dogs that lost to the Eagles in the postseason, with a teensy, tiny effort from quarterback Eli Manning. Third! Still reeling from the loss of Plaxico "Damn, was that my gun?" Burress. Third!
"New York has an excellent chance to go to the Super Bowl for the second time in three years," King writes.
I respect Peter King. He works hard at his job. Good, solid work. Real work. But you have to take the whole body of work. If you are thrilled that he looooves the Eagles draft, then you have to wonder what he's thinking when it comes to the Giants. (And the Bears are ranked ahead of the Eagles, too. I'll fade that bet.)

DALLAS (AP) — A newly released dash-cam video has stirred debate over whether the December shooting of an unarmed man by a Dallas police officer was justified.
Senior Cpl. Amy Wilburn was fired after wounding a 19-year-old carjacking suspect on Dec. 9. Wilburn's attorney has said the ex-officer feared for her life when she shot Kelvion Walker, wounding him. But a witness told investigators the suspect had his hands raised at the time.
Wilburn was the second Dallas officer dismissed since October in shootings superiors have deemed unjustified.
The video was posted Tuesday on the Dallas Police Department's official YouTube page, http://bit.ly/1gMaLx3 . In it, a carjacking suspect is seen running out of the stolen car after it pulled into an apartment complex. Wilburn runs up to the vehicle as it continues to roll forward. As she opens the driver-side door, she quickly pulls out her gun and fires once. Wilburn then holsters her gun and leans into the car.
Walker cannot be seen, but police say Wilburn shot him. Police also say Wilburn subsequently dropped her gun in the car.
In the video, another officer can be seen handing the gun back to Wilburn, by then had walked over to the passenger side of the car. After leaning into the car for less than 30 seconds, Wilburn starts pacing around, with her hands on top of her head.
Wilburn's attorney, Robert Rogers, has said the ex-officer shot Walker because she believed he was reaching for a weapon.
Walker, who survived, is suing the department. His attorney, Geoff Henley, said in a statement the video vindicated Walker and that Wilburn made "rash, reckless and dangerous decisions."
Dallas Police Association president Ron Pinkston told The Dallas Morning News (http://dallasne.ws/1kCbyX1 ) that officers upset with Wilburn's firing were even more infuriated after seeing the video.
"There's a lot of these go-getters that want to go out and put bad guys in jail and they aren't doing it right now because of the possibility that they might have to use deadly force and get fired," Pinkston said.
Retired Dallas police homicide detective Randy Loboda, who has investigated dozens of officer-involved shootings, told the newspaper Wilburn could have perceived any sudden movement with Walker's hands as him "going for a gun."
But Cletus Judge, president of the Black Police Association of Greater Dallas, has backed Police Chief David Brown's decision to fire Wilburn, writing in a recent letter to members that what he saw "in the video was a total disregard for the policies and procedures set in place to handle that situation."
Harvey Hedden, executive director of the International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association, said Wilburn shouldn't have rushed the moving car because she risked being ambushed.
After the shooting, police officials announced a restructuring of some deadly force training. Brown said officers will now go through some realistic live simulation training every few months, rather than once every two years.

Miranda Lambert Sings With Surprise Guest Kelly Clarkson in Colorado
Saturday night (March 17) Miranda Lambert and her touring crew hit Broomfield, Colo.'s 1st Bank Event Center. During her show, Lambert invited another powerful female vocalist — and fellow 'The Voice' mentor — to take the stage with her. Surprising the audience, Kelly Clarkson emerged and offered up her recent single 'Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)' from her fifth studio album, 2011′s 'Stronger,' as well as Lambert's own 'Gunpowder and Lead' with the help of the blonde country starlet herself.
Following their first number, Lambert screamed, "Holy s–t! Kelly Clarkson is here, Colorado. She's here tomorrow night, so you better get you're a– here to see her!"
"This is the first night to see Miranda," Clarkson gushed into the mic. "She's kicking a–. I've been a fan since 'Kerosene,' so I'm a true fan."
"She's Kelly Clarkson. Whatever," Lambert countered, ducking the compliment. "She wanted me to sing that y'all, and I was like, 'Dude, if I could sing like you I wouldn't ever talk. I would sing everything.' But she does love this song … This is all about girl power—that's what we're both about."
With that, Clarkson joined Lambert on her sassy revenge anthem 'Gunpowder and Lead' from her 2007 record 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.' The first-ever 'American Idol' winner offered her killer vocal chops to the song, taking the higher parts while Lambert's voice played in the lower register and drove home the song. Together, the two were a female vocal duo on fire with energy and strong, sing-it-like-you-mean-it vocals. Surely, this was a special treat for the roaring Colorado crowd.

Two weeks after Royal Dutch Shell Plc and Platts changed the way more than half of the world's crude is valued, the companies along with BP Plc and Statoil ASA are being probed by European antitrust regulators about potential manipulation of oil prices.
The investigation by the European Commission shines a light on how price reporting companies including Platts, the energy news and data provider owned by McGraw Hill Financial Inc., help determine the cost of raw materials used in everything from plastic bags to jet fuel. The suspected violations are related to the Platts' Market-On-Close assessment process, or so-called window, and may have been ongoing since 2002, Statoil said.
"The industry has developed a high degree of reliance, you can almost call it dependence, on price reporting agencies," said John Driscoll, the managing director of JTD Energy Services Pte., a Singapore-based energy advisory, and former trading manager at GS Caltex. "They have tremendous discretionary power in their ability to interpret and publish prices."
Platts has been assessing the cost of oil since at least 1923 when its founder, Warren Platt, started Platt's Oilgram, a daily newsletter devoted to prices and market information. The influence of reporting companies has grown since the mid-1980s when the industry began using market prices instead of a system where they were set by international oil companies and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
Underpins Trading
The assessments made by reporting companies underpin long-term contracts, short-term, or spot transactions, futures settlements and derivatives. Total SA, Europe's third-biggest oil company, estimates as much as 80% of all crude and oil product deals are linked to reference prices including those published by Platts, while as much as 20% use trades on the New York Mercantile Exchange or ICE Futures Europe.
Among the pricing companies, Platts assessments represent as much as 95% of crude trades and 90% of oil products and over-the-counter derivative deals, Total said in a submission to report on oil pricing last year.
"The commission has concerns that the companies may have colluded in reporting distorted prices to a price reporting agency to manipulate the published prices for a number of oil and biofuel products," the executive arm of the EU said in its statement yesterday. A single reporting company is involved, Antoine Colombani, a spokesman for Joaquin Almunia, the EU's antitrust commissioner, told reporters today in Brussels.

The freshman forward had 20 points and 13 rebounds in the Hawkeyes' 69-59 loss to Minnesota on Sunday night. It was Basabe's third double-double of the season.
Basabe is averaging 12 points and 8.6 rebounds in Big Ten play, my CYMBALTA experience, and he's posted his two best games of the season against two of the best frontcourts in the conference.

Hi Domenico, >From what I understood will my MODE-UV transponder not fly on P3e. There is a Software Defined Transponder that will fly instead. I don't know all the details as I never got the information directly, but more "discover" this every time while reading AMSAT-DL Journal. I have requested AMSAT-DL to send me the MODE-UV transponder hardware back, so I might use it in another satellite project... however I never seen my hardware back :( Besides that, I discovered that there were more groups working on a MODE-UV for P3e at that time (without knowing). After all, in my opinion it was a huge waste of my money and waste of my free time that I spend for P3e. I could have made several new transponders in the same time and have them maybe fly already on other satellite projects. So, thats why I now have developed this new smaller transponder for picosats as a privat project... About my transponder on HAMSAT, it was agreed that ISRO switch transponder each one or two month. I know that it is not switched on that often, and I have send emails and letters to ISRO about their skedule several times. Unfortunately the people are very busy by email, and by letter I do not get any response. As the hams are happy with HAMSAT I don't make a real problem of it that my transponder is not switched on that often. One day the Indian transponder will fail, and then my transponder will rescue HAMSAT again hihi...

Students paint a mural to pay tribute to the spunky spirit of Emma George, who died in 2011.
Emma George seemingly had a gazillion Barney stuffed animals, but that didn't matter when her miniature schnauzer snatched one away.
She ripped the purple dinosaur out of Bailey's snout and then smacked the dog repeatedly with it.
Her loved ones often watched Emma with amusement, that little girl was so spunky.
"She had to have feistiness. She wasn't supposed to be born," said her mother, Heather George.
When Heather was in her third trimester, the family picked out a small white casket for Emma. The doctors had told them Emma would only live a few weeks because her heart was enlarged.
George held onto hope. She and her husband, Mark, picked the name Emma Grace — instead of Emma Madeline — breaking the tradition of EMG initials her two other children had.
On June 5, 2001, Emma was born by emergency C-section, screaming like bloody murder, George recalled.
The baby with the wide, piercing blue eyes underwent a heart transplant less than five months later.
Emma lived.
Growing up, the little girl was transfixed by certain things: Hello Kitty, pumpkins, Barney the dinosaur, colored pencils.
And butterflies.
Emma, an autistic student who went to Fruitville Elementary from 2007 to 2011, stared at the monarch butterflies in her front yard. Other times, she chased them.
Something about the insects — maybe their pretty colors or the fact they could fly — fascinated her.
"The joy of that," said her teacher Laura King, who taught her for three years. "You never know what will spark an interest in a child."
The last days
The little girl's health changed so quickly.
One moment, she sang the "ABCs" then the next, she lay down with a 104-degree fever.
But throughout her sickness, Emma was still Emma.
She skipped to class at Fruitville and sang in the hospital hallways. People knew when she was coming.
Other times, she pulled all the children's books off the shelves at Target, her favorite store, and then plopped down in the middle of the aisle. She flipped through every page, her mother couldn't pull her away from the books.
The last year of her life, Emma spent months in the hospital.
A virus wreaked havoc on her organs and she needed kidney dialysis. Later, doctors put her in a medical coma after she had a grand mal seizure on her bedroom floor.
"When she woke up, she would just moan and be in a fetal position," George said. "When she opened her eyes, they were blank."
On April, 22, 2011 — Good Friday — Emma died from congestive heart failure.
Her family asked for Gerber Daisys at the 9-year-old's funeral and for everyone to wear bright colors. No black.
Splash of color
Two years later, Fruitville principal Laura Kingsley, who spoke at the funeral, still tears up when she thinks about her former student.
"I could not remember Fruitville before Emma," Kingsley said. "I couldn't imagine Fruitville without Emma."
She didn't forget about how much the little girl liked butterflies, either.
This month, a group of 64 Fruitville students are painting a butterfly mural in a long hallway in Building 5.
"Before, it was white and boring," said Stefanie Hebert, 11, a fifth-grader. "When you add color, it looks a lot better."
It's part science project as they learn about the life cycle of a butterfly and a geography lesson where the different species live.
And it's also a way for the staff to quietly honor Emma.
A group Ringling College of Art and Design students lead the children, who are gifted students in fifth grade or part of the autistic prekindergarten and kindergarten class.
The older students helped younger ones gently hold their paintbrushes so they stay in the lines.
Youth Experiencing Art, a Sarasota nonprofit, funded the $3,000 project, which covered art supplies and tuition stipends for the Ringling students.
Kingsley will hold an April 10 open house to unveil the 150-foot-long murals, which George and her family — including her children, Easton, 16, and Eli, 13, and her parents, Greg and Darlene Lester — plan to attend.
"That school was our family," George said. "I can't put it into words."
Dimples and zombies
Andrea Anderson stood out as a rebel among the sweet-faced children painting the mural this week.
A few birthdays ago, Andrea received a set of watercolors and then found her artistic inspiration on her brother's bedroom wall.
At least Wednesday, the 11-year-old had permission to get messy.
"Yay! I get to paint on the walls," Andrea said in a sing-songy voice, her fingers covered in yellow paint, as she worked on Emma's mural in the hallway.
As if to prove the point, Andrea painted two orange dots on her cheeks.
The fifth-grader grinned.
Voil�. Fake dimples.
Christian Wise looked serious, concentrating as he painted a blue and yellow critter — a mutant zombie butterfly from Michigan.
"It just popped out," the fifth-grader said about the weird backstory.
For Christian, 11, this was a chance to be creative and express himself.
Other students drew butterflies that looked slices of pizza or Pok�mon. One child even painted a "butter-fly": A stick of butter for an abdomen and thorax and two pieces of toasts for wings.
Some took the more traditional route and painted pretty symmetrical butterflies.
Little Anadya Smirnova was impressed with the mural as she walked past en route to the computers.
"That is beautiful," the first-grader gushed.

Unitil sued over '10 blaze that destroyed block on Hampton BeachBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
March 28. 2013 3:45PM
BRENTWOOD - The insurer for a retail store damaged in a windswept five-alarm fire that leveled a block of buildings on Hampton Beach in 2010 is suing Unitil, claiming the utility company is responsible for an electrical fault that sparked the blaze.
Lloyd's of London, which insured Decalomania Inc. at 241-243 Ocean Blvd., has taken legal action against the Hampton-based utility in Rockingham County Superior Court to recoup the $32,749 in insurance claims it paid out to cover damage to merchandise.
The suit accuses Unitil of negligence, claiming that before the fire broke out on Feb. 26, 2010, the company had altered a service line and left a utility pole inadequately secured.
"Due to Unitil's improper alteration/modification of the service line or lines, the utility pole was able to sway excessively," the suit said.
The suit, filed by Salem attorney Jeffrey A. Schreiber, claims the swaying caused an electrical fault that resulted in a temperature rise in an electrical conduit attached to the Surf Hotel at 275 Ocean Blvd. That increase in temperature ignited the fire, the suit alleges.
While fire investigators concluded that the fire started at the Surf Hotel, a cause was never determined.
The blaze was fueled by near-hurricane-force winds that raced through the three-story wood-frame hotel and then spread to four other buildings - the Happy Hampton Arcade, Mrs. Mitchell's gift shop, another retail building and a large storage building. The hotel also had three retail shops.
The fire, which caused millions of dollars in losses, came during a ferocious windstorm that toppled utility lines and trees in many areas, leading to the second-largest power outage in state history after the crippling ice storm of 2008.
"Before the rapidly spreading fire could be subdued, an entire block of Ocean Boulevard was engulfed in flames, including the top portion of the building occupied by Decalomania," the suit said. As firefighters tried to put out the blaze, the suit said water infiltrated Decalomania's building and damaged merchandise sold by the clothing and beachwear retailer.
The suit seeks a jury trial and argues that Unitil is liable for the damages paid to Decalomania through its insurer, Lloyd's of London.
Unitil spokesman Alec O'Meara said the company has obtained a copy of the lawsuit, is reviewing the claims and plans to respond "through appropriate legal avenues."

Training bras have, er, matured, along with a lot of other pubescent clothing. Plenty of young girls will be delighted with the sexy styles, but their moms, not so much. "I wanted coverage—support and a smooth look--not something that added an extra cup size," says omaha mom Linsey Knerl of bra shopping with her 10-year-old. The lingerie lowdown:
Size her
If the outlines of your daughter's nipples are showing through her T-shirts, it's time. Lisa Raacke, M.D., an internist who practices at the Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, suggests getting your tween measured professionally. Too mortified to have a stranger near her chest? You two can do it at home: Measure her rib cage just below the bust to get the band width. For cup size, measure her at the fullest part of the breast, then subtract the band measurement from this number. A difference of one half inch or less is AA, one half to one inch is A, and so on.
Don't push the look
If your daughter freaks out at the sight of two mounds under her T-shirt, back off and let her wear what she's comfortable with—a camisole with a soft bra top plus another shirt is fine, says Dr. Raacke, the mom of three daughters. Many girls this age just need something to cover their nipples, not to support their budding breasts. You can also try removing some padding from the cups.
Try sports bras with cups
They give A-cup-size girls support without creating cleavage. Looking for a sports bra to wear under a dressier top? Danskin makes one with thin straps. Sports bras are also durable—perfect for kids, who aren't exactly conscientious about caring for their under-(or over-!) garments.

- German Grand Prix
Pirelli relief at safe race
- Race:
- German Grand Prix
Pirelli motorsport director Paul Hembery said he was relieved the focus during the German Grand Prix was on tyre strategy rather than tyre safety.
Following the problems encountered during last weekend's British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Pirelli swiftly made changes to its tyres before the Grand Prix Drivers' Association threatened to boycott the race if any further issues arose. However, the race was notable for varied strategies delivering a close and exciting grand prix, and Hembery said he was pleased the focus was on the racing once again.
"The relief is obviously more that we're not talking about tyres for the wrong reasons," Hembery said. "It's a different type of race; it isn't anywhere near a Silverstone in terms of loading, it's the Spas and Suzakas where we get those challenges or going back to the Young Driver Test we're doing a lot of analysis there.
"But it's only seven days away so it's very fresh in everybody's mind. As you can imagine there was a lot of media interest this weekend and we're glad that we've been able to deliver a faultless race and a very enjoyable and exciting one."
Hembery added that the race could have been even more exciting from a strategic point of view without the safety car period as a result of Jules Bianchi's rolling Marussia.
"Probably if we didn't have a safety car it would have been even better to be honest, that sort of ruined what was coming together at the end there. We felt early on that some people had decided to go for a three-stop - like Ferrari very early on - with the safety car we were wondering if three-stoppers were going to go four and two were going to go three. Kimi charging down at the end it was just missing two laps really and we would have had an even bigger finale."

LESS MAIL, MORE PROFIT: The Postal Service plan to eliminate Saturday home delivery probably won't hurt Netflix Inc., one of its biggest customers. That's because Netflix's postal bill will shrink and subscribers probably won't watch as many DVDs while paying the same monthly fee.
DELIVERIES BY DOWNLOAD: The story might have been different if Saturday mail delivery had been cut a few years ago, when DVDs were still Netflix's main business. Now the company boasts far more Internet video-streaming subscribers.
STAMP OF APPROVAL: Investors drove Netflix shares to a new 16-month high Wednesday after the Postal Service announced its cuts.

PORTSMOUTH — President Barack Obama has arrived in New Hampshire and will take the stage at Strawbery Banke in Portsmouth within minutes.
Spectators arrived by the bus load to Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth, where President Barack Obama is set to deliver a speech this afternoon. Obama touched down at Pease Air Force Base shortly after noon and traveled by motorcade to the museum grounds.
Hoping to carry forward the momentum of his appearance last night at the Democratic National Convention, Obama will address a crowd of thousands on the grounds of Strawbery Banke Museum. He will be joined by Vice President Joe Biden, First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden during the appearance, which will be the first visit by a sitting president to the museum since 1789.
Biden was introduced shortly after 12:30 p.m. Friday by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen. He recounted the president's DNC speech, and told audience members Obama has the courage to make tough calls on areas ranging from education to health care and ending the war in Iraq.
"I know this guy," Biden said. "He has courage in his soul. He has compassion in his heart, and he has a spine of steel."
Thousands had amassed at the museum by 10:30 a.m. ahead of the presidential visit. Portsmouth public schools were closed Friday in anticipation of the event, and a network of roads around the museum were shutdown between Thursday and Friday morning. Pierce island was also closed to vehicle traffic. Spectators were being asked to park at Pease International Tradeport and take shuttle buses to the grounds.
A row of metal bleachers capable of accommodating hundreds was assembled on one side of the rectangular field. Stage lights were directed toward a stage in front of the Lowd House, a yellow Federal Period building dating to the early 1800s, which will serve as the backdrop for the president's speech.
"It's amazing," museum spokeswoman Stephanie Seacord said Friday morning. "The team has set all this up in a week. It's like Santa Claus — overnight, transforming the site."

Friday's event marks Obama's fourth trip to New Hampshire of the year, and his third campaign appearance in this pocket of the state since June. Obama has also held campaign events at Oyster River Middle School in Durham in June and in Rochester and Windham on Aug. 18.
Although New Hampshire will only deliver four electoral votes during November's general election, both campaigns have placed value in campaigning in New Hampshire, which is viewed as one of a handful of places where both candidates are still in competition.
Hoping to provide a parallel to Obama's remarks in New Hampshire, Romney is also scheduled to speak in the state Friday. He will speak at an event in Nashua Friday evening, according to the Romney campaign.
By 9:30 a.m., a line blocks away from Strawbery Banke snaked around the city. Hundreds anxiously waited outside the museum grounds for a chance to view the president.
Locals Andrea Donaldson, of Newmarket, and Nicole Pollack, who has lived in Portsmouth for nine years, patiently waited in line, saying there were thrilled to see the president, and even more excited the line was moving so swiftly.
"We only got here 30 minutes ago," Pollack said, noting her parents waited three hours in line earlier in the week to grab free tickets to the event.
Further up the road, at the intersection of Pleasant and Court streets, a flock of Gov. Romney supporters gathered around the crowded sidewalks. Norm Olsen, a Portsmouth resident for 10 years, held a sign in the style of Shephard Fairey's iconic "HOPE" image with President Obama in blue and red, only Olsen's poster had the word "FAILED" slapped across it.
"We heard so many promises," Olsen said. "... I couldn't make it to Nashua today so I'm doing my work here."
Over on Daniel Street, John's Barber Shop, with owner John Russo's ultra-conservative posters hanging on the wall, was buzzing. Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R) had reportedly just visited the small business. Her office is working to confirming her schedule for the remainder of the day.
Portsmouth resident James Reilley, 78, who has visited John's for a haircut religiously for the last 12 years, said he brought holy water with him, to splash his wife before she headed off to the president's speech. Reilley said he headed to John's to catch Ayotte and joked about his wife's liberal tendencies. Barber Jay Foley recorded some of Ayotte's speech on his iPhone.
A clip showed Ayotte ripping Obama's acceptance speech for the presidential nomination during last night's closing Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. Ayotte said Obama never addressed the question directly in his speech: "Are you better off today?"
