Senators can't stop themselves from revealingly muttering into the mic during the Kavanaugh hearing
It took mere minutes for the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to devolve into chaos Tuesday. Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee joined with protesters to interrupt Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the committee chairman, during his opening statement, and the first hour of the hearing was quickly swallowed up by crosstalk.
The "mob rule" vibe, as Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) called it at one point, led to some noteworthy whispered quips, as lawmakers kept reacting off-camera to the proceedings with their microphones still turned on. In the midst of some lively protests, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) can be overheard encouraging Grassley to "demand order," while at one point Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) noted reporting from NBC News' Kasie Hunt that the Democrats' disruption had been coordinated via a phone call Monday. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) was not impressed with Tillis' point, muttering, "This is outrageous."

After Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) said the hearing should be held according to the law, Cornyn contended that Democrats would be "held in contempt of court" for their behavior. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) was quick to react:
"If this were a court of law that virtually every side, every members on the dais on that side would be held in contempt of court." https://t.co/1dlfnDZ07n pic.twitter.com/V2VbXlk0T3

President Trump told supporters in Montana on Thursday night that his fate is in their hands.
If he is ever impeached, "it's your fault 'cause you didn't go out to vote — that's the only way it could happen," he said. "I'll be the only president in history, they'll say, 'What a job he's done! By the way, we're impeaching him.'" Trump was in Billings to campaign for Matt Rosendale, the state auditor running for Senate, but most of the time, he focused on himself and Democrats, including those who are "looking like fools" during Judge Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation hearings.
He compared his speeches to the Gettysburg Address, claiming that in Abraham Lincoln's day, the 16th president was "ridiculed" and "excoriated" by the "fake news — there was fake news before." Trump also said he was just told North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was saying "terrific things about me," and they both have "respect" for each other. When it comes to the media, "you can't win, but we're winning," he declared. "I'm president, your president, we're winning." People may say he's mentally unfit, Trump told the crowd, but could someone not of sound mind be able to speak at rallies for 90 minutes, often "without any notes?" he asked, later admitting, "I think I'm pretty competent."

The confirmation hearings of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh have been most notable for what Kavanaugh has refused to say: What he believes to be the correct law on abortion rights, gay rights, same-sex marriage, presidential executive authority, immigration, and a host of other timely subjects. "One of the major concerns with Brett Kavanaugh is that Trump might have nominated him specifically because Kavanaugh believes sitting presidents shouldn't be subpoenaed or indicted," Trevor Noah said on Thursday's Daily Show. "And some people are worried that Kavanaugh might even have made a deal with Trump's [former] personal lawyer, Marc Kasowitz, basically saying we'll put you on the court if you promise to protect the president from Robert Mueller."
"Now, we don't know if Kavanaugh actually met with Trump's lawyer, but when California Sen. Kamala Harris asked him about it yesterday, Kavanaugh did himself no favors," Noah said, playing part of their intense and kind of bizarre back-and-forth. "Wow, Kavanaugh did not look good in that exchange. It's like if they asked a suspect at a murder trial, 'Where were you on the night of the 13th?' and he was like, 'Uhhh, where shouldn't I have been? Wherever the murder happened, that's where I was.'" Noah was not persuaded by Kavanaugh hiding behind "precedent" to avoid answering questions on abortion rights, but he was impressed with Harris' pointed question to him on that subject.

In Thursday's hearings, Kavanaugh acknowledged that he was friends with one lawyer at Kasowitz Benson Torres, Ed McNally, but insisted he'd had no "inappropriate conversations about that investigation with anyone."

President Trump and White House aides have come up with a list of roughly 12 people suspected of being behind the anonymous op-ed published Wednesday by The New York Times, an outside adviser told the Times on Thursday.
The op-ed, written by a senior administration official, called Trump's leadership style "impetuous, adversarial, petty, and ineffective," and the author said there is a "quiet resistance" underway by staffers trying to protect the country from Trump's "half-baked, ill-informed, and occasionally reckless decisions." White House officials spent Thursday calling different departments to ask Cabinet secretaries if they were responsible for the op-ed, the Times reports, and they all said no.
Several West Wing officials are especially suspicious of Vice President Mike Pence and his staff, and they were not persuaded by his denial, White House officials told the Times. There's also been talk of having senior officials sign affidavits swearing they did not write the op-ed. Read more about the panicked response at The New York Times. Catherine Garcia
She's more than just a girl — in fact, filmmaker Michael Moore has a theory that Gwen Stefani may be the person most responsible for getting President Trump into the White House.
Stefani wears a lot of hats — she's a solo pop star, No Doubt's frontwoman, a fashion designer, and a judge on The Voice. Her gig on the singing competition is why Moore believes Stefani launched the Trump presidency, he told The Hollywood Reporter. As Moore sees it, Trump likely learned NBC paid Stefani more to be a judge on The Voice than he received hosting The Apprentice, so he announced from Trump Tower he was running for president to show the network how famous he was and how much attention he could receive.
"He'd been talking about running for president since 1988, but he didn't really want to be president," Moore said. "There's no penthouse in the White House. And he doesn't want to live in a black city. He was trying to pit NBC against another network, but it just went off the rails." Trump ended up getting dropped by NBC after saying Mexico was sending rapists to the United States, but Moore said by that time, he was too attached to the crowds coming to his rallies and the nonstop media coverage, and turned his joke candidacy into a real one.

Judge Brett Kavanaugh raised eyebrows on Thursday when he referred to contraception as "abortion-inducing drugs."

It was the third day of his Supreme Court confirmation hearing, and Kavanaugh was responding to a question asked by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) about the 2015 Priests for Life v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services case he heard while on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Priests for Life objected to the Affordable Care Act requirement that all health insurance plans cover contraception for employees, asserting that Plan B and IUDs are not birth control, but instead cause abortions.
LOVELY Short Tee Neck Cat CAT Printed Sleeve Round GIRL Letter Kavanaugh, who dissented from the majority that ruled in favor of the Obama administration, told Cruz it "quite clearly" seemed the contraception mandate was a "substantial burden on their religious exercise." Had Priests for Life filled out a form asking the government to fund the contraceptives, Kavanaugh added, this workaround would still have made them "complicit in the abortion-inducing drugs that they were, as a religious matter, objected to."
Priests for Life used the term "abortion-inducing drugs" in the lawsuit to describe contraception, and Kavanaugh echoing the phrase drew outrage from Democrats, including Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who tweeted: "Newsflash, Brett Kavanaugh: Contraception is NOT abortion. Anyone who says so is peddling extremist ideology — not science — and has no business sitting on the Supreme Court."

Alex Jones, the conspiracy theory peddler behind Infowars who has claimed that the Sandy Hook shooting was fake, was permanently suspended from Twitter on Thursday.
The company said both @realalexjones and @infowars were banned from Twitter and Periscope "based on new reports of tweets and videos posted yesterday that violate our abusive behavior policy, in addition to the accounts' past violations." Twitter's policy prohibits users from making "excessively aggressive insults that target an individual, including content that contains slurs or similar language."
Jones, who had about 896,000 followers before getting booted from Twitter, spent his Wednesday in Washington, where he attended a Senate hearing featuring Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, then got into an argument with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). He also confronted CNN reporter Oliver Darcy, telling him he has "the eyes of a rat," streaming the encounter on Periscope. Jones was booted from Facebook, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple last month. Catherine Garcia
On Thursday, Jair Bolsonaro, a far-right Brazilian presidential candidate, was stabbed in Minas Gerais while campaigning, his son tweeted.
Flavio Bolsonaro said his father sustained damage to his liver, lung, and intestine. "He lost a lot of blood," he said, and was "almost dead" when he arrived at a local hospital. Bolsonaro's running mate, Gen. Antonio Hamilton Mourao, told Reuters he is now in serious but stable condition. "He underwent surgery, which was successful and he is doing okay," Mourao said. "But his state remains delicate."
Video recorded during Bolsonaro's campaign stop shows him being carried on a person's shoulders, surrounded by supporters. A knife is then seen being raised in the air, then plunging into Bolsonaro's abdomen, Reuters reports. Brazil's Federal Police released a statement saying officers were accompanying Bolsonaro when the attack took place, and the "aggressor" was caught and detained. The incident is now under investigation. Catherine GarciaDress Cartoon New Round Casual Mini Neck Sleeveless Tank Printed Arrival Bqqzw6
Loads of Trump administration officials have Stretch Salvage Mayhem Jean Salvage Boot Boot Salvage Mayhem Jean Boot Mayhem Stretch pSwqvAB writing an anonymous op-ed in The New York Times that described an internal "resistance" in the White House.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, for example, said that it is "laughable" to think he could be the author. Spoken like a possible suspect, right? In light of the White House "witch hunt" to determine who wrote the op-ed, a vintage Wall Street Journal headline resurfaced Thursday as readers remembered a similarly mysterious source: Deep Throat.
"If you drink scotch, smoke, and read, maybe you're 'Deep Throat,'" the Journal wrote. "Almost anyone can qualify as capital tries to guess Watergate story source." Deep Throat was the name of the source who offered key information to journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein as they investigated the Watergate scandal. Deep Throat ultimately turned out to be FBI Associate Director Mark Felt — but in June 1974, Felt denied that he was the source.
"Felt says he isn't now, nor has he ever been, Deep Throat," reads the article. "Of course, says the former acting associate director of the FBI, if he really were Deep Throat, you'd hardly expect him to admit it, now would you? Not that he is, Mr. Felt quickly adds."
The article points out that Felt, and others, aren't likely to "just blurt out" that they are responsible for bringing an administration "to its knees." So simply asking officials whether they authored the piece may not lead to the truth — and maybe Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) had the right idea in taking more drastic measures.

Burt Reynolds, the legendary actor who brought his trademark swagger to dozens of films and TV shows over a decades-long career, has died at the age of 82.
Reynolds' manager, Erik Kritzer, confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that the actor died Thursday morning at Jupiter Medical Center in Florida. TMZ is reporting that Reynolds went into cardiac arrest and that his family was by his side when he died. The actor had been dealing with various health issues over the past few years, having had heart surgery in 2010 and having been hospitalized with flu symptoms in 2013, People reports.
Born in 1936, Reynolds rose to fame in part due to his role as Quint Asper on Gunsmoke, which helped him transition into an extraordinarily successful movie career. While he made his film debut in 1961, it was 1972's Deliverance that kickstarted a truly phenomenal run for the actor, who was quite prolific throughout the 1970s and 1980s, starring in back-to-back hit action and comedy films like Smokey and the Bandit and The Cannonball Run. He was so prolific, in fact, that he at one time had four separate movies in theaters at once, The Hollywood Reporter notes. In 1997, Reynolds was nominated for his first and only Academy Award for playing porn director Jack Horner in Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights.
Reynolds had not stopped working in recent years, and he had been announced as part of the cast of Quentin Tarantino's new film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which hits theaters in July 2019. However, Reynolds had not yet filmed his scenes, having been scheduled to do so in a few weeks, and thus the role will need to be recast, St John's Promotion Bay John's Bay Promotion St ff15q Brendan Morrow
The Catholic Church's Pennsylvania scandal could be headed north.
New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood has launched a civil investigation into the state's Catholic churches, she announced Thursday. To get it started, she's subpoenaed the state's eight dioceses for all their records regarding child sexual abuse allegations, a source tells The Associated Press.
A massive investigation and report into Pennsylvania's Catholic churches exposed over 1,000 abuse allegations against 300 priests last month. It drew apologies from as far up as the Vatican, but also led victims around the world to share their stories and sparked incredible condemnation of the Catholic Church.
Underwood's announcement addressed the Pennsylvania revelations and encouraged New York victims to report their stories even if they happened years ago. And in a telling display of where the investigation might be headed, Underwood reportedly sent subpoenas to the seven Catholic dioceses of New York state and the archdiocese in New York City, per AP. They request abuse allegations, records of churches paying off victims, and anything else that internal church investigations dug up.
Church leaders have said they'll cooperate with Underwood's civil investigation even if it transforms into a criminal one, AP reports. The attorney general's office is also working with local prosecutors, who can launch criminal investigations within their jurisdictions.

Why launch a White House "witch hunt" to figure out who wrote an anonymous Volcom T Volcom Shirt Concentric T Shirt T Concentric Concentric Shirt Volcom Volcom 6axqUw about internal "resistance" when officials can just take a lie detector test?
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) thinks a quick sit down for a polygraph test would be faster than asking every White House official whether they wrote in The New York Times that President Trump is "amoral." He told reporters on Thursday: "I think if you have a security clearance in the White House I think it would be acceptable to use a lie detector test and ask people whether they are talking to the media against the policy of the White House," reports CNN.
Paul, who previously suggested the use of lie detector tests to determine who leaked transcripts of communications between former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and a Russian ambassador, said it was important to figure out who wrote the op-ed this week. Some experts disagree that lie detector tests are effective, but Paul said they are used on CIA and FBI agents, so they should be used on administration officials, too. "This could be very dangerous if the person who is talking to the media is actually revealing national security secrets," he said. "So yes, I think we need to get to the bottom of it."

Just weeks after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the ironically unpopular idea of bringing a "best popular film" category to the Oscars, the concept is being abandoned — at least for now.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, the Academy said Thursday that the new award, which was intended to recognize "outstanding achievement in popular film" in a category separate from Best Picture, will no longer be introduced at the 2019 Oscars as originally planned. Based on the "wide range of reactions" the announcement received in August, "further discussion with our members" is needed before the award can be implemented, Academy CEO Dawn Hudson said. The Academy will continue to workshop the idea, however, leaving open the possibility of a second try in 2020.
News of the new Oscar category prompted almost universally negative reactions last month, with critics arguing that it would inevitably be seen as a consolation prize as another film got the "real" award of Best Picture. There was also confusion over what actually constitutes a "popular" film, considering movies like Get Out, La La Land, and The Martian have been nominated for Best Picture in recent years while also being box office hits. The Academy never fully clarified its intentions with the award before announcing this delay. Brendan Morrow
The Trump administration is seeking to override a rule that prevents immigrant children from being detained for more than 20 days, NBC News reported Thursday.
The Department of Homeland Security said it had created a new rule that will allow immigrant children to be detained with their parents indefinitely, and that the rule will go into effect in 60 days. The new rule will circumvent the 1997 Short GIRL Sleeve CAT Tee Round Letter LOVELY Printed Cat Neck Flores settlement, which determined that immigrant children seeking asylum in the U.S. could not be held for more than 20 days at a time, often leading to children being released with their parents at that time.
Officials tried to avoid those releases earlier this year by separating migrant children from their parents upon arrival in the U.S., but the administration ended that practice after significant backlash, though several hundred children remain separated. Now, a DHS official told NBC News that the new rule is a legal workaround because children will be held in Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities that are evaluated by third parties.
In an announcement, administration officials said the evaluations will ensure that the facilities "satisfy the basic purpose" of the Flores settlement and keep children safe, while still closing "legal loopholes" that "significantly hinder" the government's ability to "promptly remove family units that have no legal basis to remain in the country."

Four people were killed in Cincinnati on Thursday after a man opened fire in a downtown bank building lobby, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported.
The gunman, whom police have not identified, was among those killed, and several others were injured. Shots reportedly rang out at about 9 a.m., while crowds of people headed to work in the busy city center. Witnesses said dozens of police officers arrived at the scene and began exchanging gunfire with the suspect.
Three men and one woman were taken to the local hospital with gunshot wounds, reports the Enquirer. Two died at the hospital, while the others are in serious or critical condition. The shooting is Cincinnati's deadliest since 2013.
Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley (D) said the shooting showed that "there's something deeply sick at work here, and we as a country need to work on it." Read more at the Cincinnati Enquirer. Tee Short Sleeve Printed Round Neck Note xXwqY7px

Ask the Experts: Showcasing Your Work
What are the most important elements on how to showcase color in a photo shoot?
"Remember color is what you compare it to. Things showcase well when you have something 'next' to them. For example, you make a beautiful level 10 cool blonde and to enhance the shade you add panels of a cool slate. Not too busy, but enhancing the color to create a focus," says Deb Gavin, international artistic director Keratin Complex Color Therapy. "You want to keep your sections of color work bold enough so that you don't lose them. Fine slices of color won't show up in print. If you're looking to enhance a color and you just want a shadow, they work, but if you are looking to see them they would get lost. Colors 'show' really well also when they are almost too vibrant in real life. The camera loves it!
"One the most important lessons I have learned is in the finish aspect. No product or minimal product is best. Hairspray and gels can dull your look, and once you have too much product the only thing to do is start over. Certain things can be cleaned up in post production but the best images are always the ones that are clean and true before that. You want to shoot your work thinking about how it would look blown up to poster size."
How can a stylist or colorist use social media to best showcase their work and creativity?
"Today, as a hair stylist, you don't have to get the guests you get, you can get the guests you want by incorporating social media to showcase the work you love to do and the products you love to use," says Patrick McIvor, artistic and techniCulture Director for Goldwell and KMS California.
"Want a new clientele? Use makeovers to makeover your business. Instead of wishing, start showing the work you love to do on Facebook and Pinterest. Too many times stylists complain they wish they had a younger clientele, more fun and more stylish clientele, and so on. Why wish? Today, you can reach your target market for free by advertising the looks you love to do on the right people. Want younger clients? Makeover a recent college graduate looking for a job. Who knows, maybe your new look will help them land one—what a story that could be!
"Hip wait staff, personal trainers, musicians…you know where to look. Document every makeover you do and create a Pinterest board with the images. Not only will your makeover board motivate new guests to find you via social networking, it will stimulate others as they Repin your amazing work, inspiring people all over the world! Each Repin is affirmation that your work is remarkable and contributing to others' creativity. So, what do you want more of in your clientele? Successful businesswomen, sexy housewives, more color clients? The future is in your hands."
How is being a platform artist a good way to show off your work as a stylist/colorist?
"Being a platform artist for Farouk Systems is the ultimate way to express my work. The stage brings me an audience that allows me to show the emotional side of my creations. It also gives me the opportunity to break down the technical side of a cut, the reason for placement of a color, and the balance of the artistic style that separates me from the rest." —Joe Anthony Pena, member of Farouk Global Artistic Team Council

Irvine Ranch Top Seller Among Masterplanned in State
Saturday, February 2, 2013
The Irvine Ranch easily held on to its crown as California's best-selling masterplanned community last year, when it saw the biggest increase in sales of any masterplanned development in the U.S., according to a new report.
Irvine-based John Burns Real Estate Consulting LLC recently came out with its survey of the country's largest masterplanned communities, ranking the 50 top sellers for 2012.
Projects on the Irvine Ranch—including Stonegate, Portola Springs, Woodbury and Laguna Altura—reported 1,434 sales last year, placing it at the top in California and No. 2 nationwide, up from No. 4 nationally a year earlier.
That was 670 more sales than 2011, a nearly 88% increase that accounted for the largest year-over-year bump in total sales of any project in the country last year, according to the report.
The Irvine area "continues to be a desired location by buyers in Orange County and abroad," thanks to good schools, a strong job base and numerous amenities, according to John Burns Consulting's Nicole Murray.
"Specifically, the schools attract local and international buyers," she said.
The schools have been given California Distinguished School awards 48 times since 1986 and Blue Ribbon awards 13 times since 1983, Murray said.
The top 50 masterplanned communities in the country totaled 22,806 new home sales in 2012, a 46% increase over 2011, according to John Burns Real Estate.
Sales improved year-over-year at 48 of the 50 communities, it reported.
The Villages, a retirement community in central Florida, again was the country's top-selling masterplanned community in 2012, with 2,851 sales.
Walnut-based Shea Homes, whose sister company Shea Properties Inc. is based in Aliso Viejo, was one of the few developers with three communities on the list: Highlands Ranch in Denver (No. 12); Mountain House in the Northern California city of Tracy (No. 22); and Vistancia in Phoenix (No. 29).
Newport Beach-based William Lyon Homes Inc. had the No. 39 spot, selling 242 homes at its Hastings Farms project in Arizona during its opening year.
The cutoff point for communities on this year's list was a little more than 200 sales, making it likely that a few large area projects moving ahead in 2013—including Rancho Mission Viejo and the former El Toro Marine base—could be ranked next year.
A breakdown of individual builder's 2012 sales on the Irvine Ranch and other cities in OC will be reported in the Business Journal's Feb. 25 edition, which includes our annual list of top area homebuilders.

At the start of the most recent episode of "Community," all seems strangely quiet and happy for once at the crisis-ridden, surreal bin for the dysfunctional that is Greendale Community College. This freaks out Abed, the pop culture savant who serves as the show's meta narrator, like a twisted TV version of the Stage Manager from "Our Town."
"There's always a story!" Abed cries as he falls to his knees in the school's oddly quiet hallway, the past site of a massive blanket fort, paintball wars and a zombie attack. "Everything is a story!"
For Abed, his very being is predicated on frequent misadventures he can process in TV or movie terms. For fans of "Community," Abed's existential crisis marks a sign that we could be nearing the end of the story.
"Community" caps its fifth season on NBC Thursday as the characters wage a fight to save Greendale – and, perhaps, the show. It's a familiar position for a program a devoted, but modest fan base tunes into knowing every season finale could be the series finale.
"Community" debuted in 2009 with a mission to turn – or bounce, as in the episode featuring a hidden trampoline with a Prozac-like effect – TV storytelling upside down, constantly buffeting sitcom conventions.
The show survived lackluster ratings, cast departures (Chevy Chase and Donald Glover) and hiatuses to close in on the creative team's goal of "six seasons and a movie" – a message seen on a white board during the Season 4 finale.
The current season has proved even more self-referential, beginning with a debut episode called, "Repilot," a nod to the characters' post-graduation return to Greendale to rescue the school. It also might have been a nod to "Community" creator Dan Harmon's return, after being ousted for a season, to save the show following an unfairly maligned fourth season.
Season 5 has yielded some vintage bizarrely entertaining episodes, including an epic Dungeons & Dragons game that revived the program's recurring theme of fathers clashing with sons. Harmon showed up in a recent installment animated in the style of the old "G.I. Joe" cartoon, featuring Abed as a character called "Fourth Wall."
There's nothing subtle about the name – or the plot that takes us to what could be the series' final episode Thursday. Greendale, finally in good shape, gets taken over by the Subway sandwich chain, and is rechristened "Subway University" – offering product placement (and a cameo by Subway pitchman Jared Fogle) while mocking product placement.
Even worse, it looks like Greendale/Subway might be sold to developers. But there's hope: Dean Pelton found a treasure map behind a portrait in his office that could save the day.
So Abed has a new story to dive into – but it might be his last. As we await what could be the final timeline for "Community," check out a preview below:

What a way to end 2007! With a 2-1 win over the College of St. Anselm on Saturday, the cleated clergymen at the North American College are leading the standings in the Clericus Cup's "A" round. (See previous posts here and here.)
A total of two victories out of two games played have garnered "the Nackers" 6 points — putting them far in the lead in their round of 8 teams.
The weekend game against the Benedictine college started off with the monks in the lead for the first half. But just a minute after the whistle opened the second period, the NAC's freshman seminarian, Jeffrey Eirvin of Portland, Ore., headed the ball into the opponent's net to tie the match.
But soon the clock was running out. An extra 4 minutes were added in injury time which gave the NAC its last chance to break the 1-1 tie. Another first-year seminarian at the NAC, David Nerbun of Charleston, S.C., found a gaping hole in the St. Anselm defense and scored with just a minute left to the game.
Rome's seminarian soccer series is now on hold until after the holidays. The NAC's next game will be Jan. 12 against the international college of Sedes Sapientiae.
But that doesn't mean all the excitement is over 'til 2008. Representatives from all 16 teams will be seeing Pope Benedict at tomorrow's general audience.
The players will be wearing their colorful team jerseys and will present the pope a copy of the league's first coffee table book, "Clericus Cup: In the Field Not Just for Play." The book is a collection of photographs taken by the folks at Catholic Press Photo of the soccer series' first season.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.Oliver Strecker always thought he was a good person. But one day it dawned on him that simply being a good person didn't make him a Christian.
Strecker, a junior tennis player from Gemmingen, Germany, was baptized Thursday afternoon at Granny White Church of Christ by Brent High, Lipscomb's Associate Athletic Director for Spiritual Formation. It was the completion of a goal for Strecker that began more than a year ago after he arrived on the Lipscomb campus following his transfer from Auburn University.
"It had really been building up over the last year," Strecker said. "I always considered myself to be a Christian growing up in Germany. But there the Bible is seen as a book of rules, of dos and don'ts. God is seen as an angry judge. If you do good he will give you good things and if you do bad he will punish you. They draw away from him more than embrace him."
Strecker admits that when he came to Lipscomb he really didn't know what Christianity was about.
"I never thought of myself as a bad person and didn't have a reason to believe that I was a bad person," Strecker said. "I was nice to people, and I tried to treat people with respect because that was the way I was brought up. But at the end of the day it was all about me.
"Now I see I was living a sinful life because I was living away from God. There was no doubt in my mind that I would live my life for God, It was just a matter of time and that happened Thursday morning at Athletes' Chapel. After hearing the message and spending some time in prayer and reading Scriptures, I said, `today is the day'."
Strecker met Mariah Suri while playing in a soccer game on the intramural field on campus. Suri, a student from Middle Tennessee State, gave Strecker a new perspective on what the Christian life means.
"She is the first person I have ever been around that completely lives out the Christian life in whatever she does," Strecker said. "That was very crazy to me how she would behave in certain situations. It was incredible and very admirable.
"I started reading the Bible more. I really want to live the same way. The last two or three months have really been an explosion of faith for me. I have spent a lot of time in mediation, spending time with God and with scriptures. I also have read a lot of supplementary books that have really helped me."
Strecker also credits some of his Bible teachers like Dr. Josh Strahan and Dr. J.P. Conway, women's assistant soccer coach Chris Klotz and High for their help with his spiritual growth.
"They are people I can look up to in my Christian walk," Strecker said. "They are people I can go to for advice when I need it."
Lipscomb tennis coach Andrew Harris started regularly meeting in the mornings with Strecker for breakfast in the Bison Café where they discussed the Bible and God's plan for salvation.
"God continued to work on his heart from there," Harris said. "From then on Oliver was like a sponge and continued to learn about God's word."
Harris and his wife, Emily, Lipscomb's Director of Campus Recreation, traveled to Germany this past summer and spent time with Strecker and his family.
"That was a tremendous experience for me as I came to appreciate his story in an even greater context," Harris said. "Oliver returned this fall and mentioned that over the summer his faith continued to grow and his hunger to learn more about God's word continued to flourish.
"So now to have him accept Christ as his Savior and understand that the journey never ends but is just beginning is a great blessing for our program."
One of the reasons Harris coaches tennis is the opportunity to work with players with a variety of life experiences. He calls it "the greatest gift" of his profession.
"Whether they are from Germany or India, tennis is a global sport and when Jesus said to "cast the nets far and wide" we realize that in order to be successful as a program we must cast our nets wide to find the best players on the planet," Harris said. "Oliver Strecker is a great example of that.
"Oliver came here from Auburn University and started here as a sophomore with hope of finding a place he could stay and have a great experience. What he found is Lipscomb is a unique place and our expectations as coaches are different at times versus other places. It's important that our players compete and are successful but it's just as important that the character of who they are shines as well on the court."

Former Portlander Kathryn Schulz is an expert on wrongness. Right or wrong, she wrote an entire book on the subject.
Schulz, a journalist who's written for The New York Times Magazine, The Nation and Rolling Stone, delves into philosophical and scientific ideas that address "wrongness" with a reporter's deftness and scope in her first book, Being Wrong. She reveals there are many, many ways to be wrong, from when our senses trick us into seeing an optical illusion to our own memories of events. However, it turns out that being wrong isn't as big a problem as the difficulty we have with letting go of "rightness" because it forces us to rethink how we view ourselves and the world. In a recent phone interview before her appearance at Powell's this Tuesday, Schulz explained how embracing our wrongness can help us all become more...right.
WW: Did you write this book in order to prove you were right about something?
Kathryn Schulz: I actually started by thinking about being right and how we're all attached to that experience. I wondered: "Why do I want to be right? Why do I spend so much time to prove my own rightness?" I started to think about the book in 2004 when our country was so intensely politicized before the presidential election, and no one could fathom that they were wrong about anything. I shared some of those feelings, but I knew it wasn't good for us as a country. That was part of what was going on for me.
In the process of writing Being Wrong, what did you learn that surprised you?
I have this theory that we remove anything that is positive or interesting from the category of "wrongness." We have such negative associations with the idea of error that if something is good or makes us happy and we learn from it, then it's suddenly not a part of wrongness; happy surprises, sensory illusions, moments of illumination—those happen because of wrongness, but we don't think of it that way because we have such negative associations with the idea.
What's the worst thing that's ever happened when you've been wrong?
I think that the two things hardest to be wrong about are other people and ourselves. I'm old enough to have had my heart broken. I was in this relationship I thought I was going to be in forever when I was 24. I was completely and totally wrong about that, and it was so painful, and part of the pain is wrongness—the shock in thinking your life is going a certain way and then having that collapse. After that, I traveled the world; I moved to New York, I became a writer. Everything I love about my life came out of the catastrophic collapse of those beliefs.
What is the best part of being wrong?
The possibility to come up with a new idea. The experience of being wrong forces us to explore further, and to me that experience of surprise and confusion, which can be disorienting, it makes you see the world in a new way, and suddenly everything is new.
You discuss how ideas about rightness and wrongness shape our beliefs and bind us to our communities. Did any of your beliefs change when you were living in Portland?
I lived in Portland for not quite four years, and I go back often. I think all the time about how different some of the values are from New York. It's a little less about explicit beliefs like politics and religion, and more about what is cherished or ignored, or looked down on. I feel like it's a culture that really values community, time with friends, and the outdoors. It's totally acceptable to work a little less and spend more time in beautiful places and with the people you love, which I really miss.
I think the flip side of this is that I'm struck by how there's not a lot of value placed on ambition, at least in the circles I moved in. I think ambition even has a sort of negative connotation there, which I don't think it necessarily should. The thing I find about New York is a community of people who are extremely driven to do whatever they have committed their life to, and consequently they produce amazing results. On the other hand, they're crazy....
It relates to the concept of "wrongness" in that every time we move from one culture to another we find that our beliefs are being challenged a little bit. Every time I go back and forth between the two cities I have to ask myself: "What's the life I want to live? Do I want to write a book that I love that killed me to write, or do I want to spend time with my family and leave work early on a Friday and go to the Cascades?"

Tennesseans can reduce cancer risk through healthy lifestyle choices in 2013
Guidelines on nutrition and physical activity for cancer prevention from the American Cancer Society stress the importance of healthy behaviors. The American Cancer Society estimates that about half of all cancer deaths are preventable if health is made a top lifestyle priority.
American Cancer Society guidelines for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and reducing cancer risk include four major recommendations:
1) Achieve and maintain a healthy weight throughout life.
2) Adopt a physically active lifestyle with at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise activity each week.
3) Consume a healthy diet, with an emphasis on eating at least 2.5 cups of vegetables and fruits each day.
4) Limit consumption of alcoholic beverages to no more than one drink per day for women or two per day for men.
Avoiding tobacco products altogether is one of the most important steps to a healthier body. Tobacco use remai ns the single largest preventable cause of cancer and premature death in the country. Quitting smoking can add up to 10 valuable years to a person's life.
Getting recommended routine cancer screening check-ups and examinations can be lifesaving. Regular screenings performed by a health care professional can help find cancer early when it is easiest to treat. At least half of all new cancer cases are cancer types that can be prevented or detected earlier by screening. Depending on age, sex, and cancer risk, screening recommendations vary.
For more information about cancer screening guidelines, tips on eating healthy and incorporating exercise, and ways to quit smoking, call the American Cancer Society 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.

Weird 10-Bolt Gear Ratio Wanted
I'm looking for a set of 2.90:1 gears for my '78 Camaro Z28. It has an 8.5-inch GM corporate 10-bolt rearend. I've checked many suppliers. No one lists this ratio.
Bill Hickman
Greenville, OH
Some Pontiacs with the 8.5-inch 10-bolt used a 2.93:1 ring-and-pinion back in the '70s. The 2.93:1 ring-and-pinion, GM PN 26037841, was superseded by PN 26039470, which was used in some later applications with the 8.5- and 8.625-inch 10-bolts, such as '94-'96 B-bodies (fullsize passenger cars). The 8.5- and 8.625-inch gears interchange in the same-design rearend housing, just like their smaller 7.5/7.625-inch 10-bolt brethren in their downsized housings.
On most current GM 8.5/8.625 ring-and-pinions, the new part's pinion drivegear is machined to accept the reluctor wheel used on late-model ABS brake systems, but this doesn't affect its interchangeability on earlier, non-ABS applications. The superseding part number is actually a kit that includes the rear wheel speed-sensing reluctor ring and bearings in addition to the ring-and-pinion supplied under the old part number. Unfortunately, GM has just discontinued the new part as well. However, Drive Train Specialists (DTS) still has some of the 2.93 ring-and-pinions under its PN 26037841-G. Get 'em while they last!
Remember, on the 8.5/8.625 GM corporate 10-bolt, the differential case-break is at 2.73:1. If you presently run a lower numerical gear ratio than 2.73:1, the differential case must be swapped out as well.
Ticked Over The Carrier Click
My '67 Chevelle SS has a professionally built 402 big-block that dyno'd at 427 hp at 5,800 rpm and 465 lb-ft at 3,000 rpm; a TH400 with a 2,500-stall converter; and a 12-bolt with Richmond street-grind 3.73:1 gears, a Powertrax carrier, and Doug Moser C-clip axles. The yoke, U-joints, and all rearend bearings and seals were replaced. When I shift from Park or Neutral into Drive, everything's quiet. But when I shift into Reverse, I get an annoying clicking/clunking sound from the rear axle. I know the clicking sound is from the quirkiness of the Powertrax, but overall is this to be expected from engine torque being thrown against the Reverse gear ratio, or is there maybe too much free play between pinion and ring gear? I was pretty satisfied with the gear contact pattern when the rearend was being assembled.
Bob Swider
Pittsburgh, PA
There are several potential issues here. First, is the ring-and-pinion properly set up? Obtaining the correct gear contact pattern is not dependent on pinion depth alone; you must also establish the correct backlash. Backlash and pinion depth are interdependent-as each affects the other, both must be set together, not individually. For example, if you adjust just the pinion depth to obtain a good contact pattern on the gears and only then set the backlash, it will throw the original contact pattern off. With excessive backlash, the drive side of the ring gear will move toward the toe (the narrow part of the gear teeth), and the coast side will go out toward the heel (the wide or outside part of the gear teeth). One leading rearend specialist, Tom's Differentials, likes to see 0.006- to 0.008-inch backlash on used gears-no more, no less.
Assuming the gears are properly set up, that leaves the Powertrax unit itself. For the benefit of our readers, Richmond's Powertrax Traction System and Powertrax Lock-Right are conversion-style differentials that install in a standard open differential and turn it into a locking, limited-slip-style unit without the expense needed to purchase or the special skills and tools needed to install a ground-up locking or limited-slip differential. Lock-Rights are known to be noisy, but the newer (and costlier) Powertrax Traction System with its added synchro rings is claimed to be much quieter. It has springs in the saddle of the driver to help cushion the backlash. Nevertheless, Tom's Differentials says you should always expect some noise on these coupler-style diffs when going from the drive side of the differential's coupler cogs to the coast side because there are no Spider side gears in constant mesh to take up the slack. Think of it as interlocking your hands-there will always be some gap between the fingers. The coupler cogs or teeth are like your fingers, and the residual gap where they interlock is what's responsible for the clicking noise under load reversal. Despite this minor annoyance, the Powertrax remains a cost-effective way to get a limited-slip differential on an otherwise beefy rearend like the 12-bolt Chevy.

Early Posi Dilemma
I have a '67 El Camino and have discovered that its Posi-trac is an early one (only two springs, outboard clutches). Where could I find new clutch discs?
Wendell Willis
Abilene, TX
I assume you have the standard-performance 8.25-inch Chevy 10-bolt rearend. This one's a little nebulous because there were several variations, and the old units may have been rebuilt using incorrect parts. Assuming you in fact have a '67 rearend in the car, the drivetrain experts at DTS tell us there were at least two different styles of clutch-type Posi units available: the GM-style S-spring (actually made for the General by Detroit Gear) with square-tab clutches and the Eaton design with round-tab clutches. According to DTS, round-tab and square-tab clutches don't interchange in the different Posi units, but it is possible to mix up the plates and springs.
On the correct GM S-spring configuration for your model, the preload S-springs should sit on a steel plate. What could have happened is that someone might not have put all the springs back into the Posi unit or put additional Eaton-type springs and plates into the GM Posi. Unless this was done by an expert, the unit may not properly release. With a square-tab corporate Posi, it's best to go back to the original components. The S-spring is still available from GM (or DTS) under PN 231260; PN 231127 gets you a full square-tab clutch pack including both the steels and friction discs.
Now if you have the Eaton-style with round-tab clutches, an Eaton distributor like DTS can sell you new round-tab clutches (PN 29403 includes a clutch-pack assembly with shims) and a preload kit with springs and plates (PN 29590).
There is yet another possibility: If the springs sit on an aluminum plate, Tom's Differentials says you have a rare '64-'65 10-bolt Posi unit. This unit should have two springs on one side of the clutch pack and one on the other side. The springs are very beefy, but the plates are weak. Parts are nearly extinct, and even if you can find them, it is almost impossible to put the unit back together without breaking the fragile plates. The best solution is upgrading to a later-style Eaton Posi, but unfortunately the early '64-'65 axles have a different spline angle that's not compatible with the '66-and-later Posi case, which means you would need new left- and righthand axles, both 2951/48 inches in length (Tom's PN KAC10-A1). (You won't have to change out the entire housing.)
Eaton is making 8.25 10-bolt Chevy Posi diffs again (Eaton PN 19603-010). These fit 3.08-and-up gear ratios. No modern case is available for 2.56 and 2.73 ratios.

I am building a 355 Chevy for the street using aluminum flat-top pistons with valve reliefs that at TDC sit 0.024 inch below the deck. The heads are 64cc iron Vortec 062s with screw-in studs and Crane PN 10309-1 springs and retainers for added lift. The cam is a Crane 282-H06. I am able to calculate the head gasket thickness necessary to achieve a static 10:1 compression ratio, assuming the valves are closed for the entire compression stroke. However, with this cam, the intake valve is open until 34 degrees ABDC. Should this be taken into consideration? If so, how do I calculate the actual working compression ratio in an effort to achieve a 10:1 ratio?

The compression ratio listed for any engine combo is always the static compression ratio, which is fixed via component selection and machining practice when the engine is built. As you've surmised, it assumes the cylinder is full of air and fuel at bottom dead center (BDC) and that all the mixture is compressed into the top dead center (TDC) combustion cavity. But an engine really doesn't begin making serious compression until the intake valve closes and seals the air/fuel mix in the cylinder. That's why engines with identical static compression ratios can have significantly different cranking pressures, as seen with a common compression gauge. Although part of this is due to displacement differences (a larger-cubic-inch engine is a bigger pump), the main influence is camshaft design. By changing certain cam parameters, it's possible to bleed off cylinder pressure on the bottom end, decreasing fuel octane sensitivity, even though its static compression ratio remains unchanged. The actual cylinder pressure an engine sees is often referred to as dynamic compression, because (unlike the static built-in compression ratio) it changes dynamically according to camshaft variations. The most important of these variations is the intake closing point, because it extends beyond BDC into the compression stroke. Closing the intake later aids top-end power at the expense of low-end torque. Down low, where the engine is most likely to detonate, the late intake closure bleeds off cylinder pressure, effectively dropping the dynamic compression ratio.
Rod length and crankshaft stroke also play into the dynamic compression equation because they alter the piston's position within the cylinder at the intake-valve closure point. How all this comes together is explained by KB Pistons' John Erb: "Consider a 10:1 Chevy with a 3.48-inch stroke, 6-inch center-to-center rods, and a very hot race cam that closes the intake at 90 degrees after bottom dead center (ABDC). This engine will think it is running with 6.17:1 compression and will be happy with 80-octane fuel. As a general rule, the best available pump gas will work with an 8.0:1 dynamic compression ratio. To get 8.0:1 with the preceding rod, stroke, and cam intake closing event, you would need about a 13.2:1 static ratio."
Erb's 8.0:1 dynamic guideline is for classic, old-school, all-iron engines. An advanced, high-tech engine can go a point or so higher-but even with the latest high-tech electronically managed engines, actually shooting for a 10:1 dynamic ratio is way too high. Calculating the relationship between piston position in the bore and intake closing point and then determining the effective dynamic compression ratio requires some pretty serious math, but KB Pistons has a Web-based calculator that makes it simple-just plug in the requested numbers.
I have an '84 Cutlass with a 403 that's stock except for pocket-ported heads and an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake (PN 7111) and cam (PN 7112). The cam degreed in 2 degrees retarded from the spec card, so I advanced it 4 degrees. This combo in a street car with open headers ran an impressive 8.19 in the eighth-mile with a Q-jet on a 1-inch spacer.
I began having trouble with the idle. I had a new Holley 830 for another car that is not done yet, so I put it on, with a new 50cc rear pump and cam to eliminate a flat spot on launch. I lost 0.3 second and can't seem to get it back. I replaced the front power valve with a plug, raised the jets the recommended amount from 78s to 85s-still no help.
I had to put on some collectors with short 3-inch turndowns because it burnt my shifter cable. I lost more time-now we are at 8.7s.
I put on an NX Hitman [nitrous system] with 150hp jets to get back to 8.20s. I spent over $1,000 to get the same time again.
The plugs are black, so I'm thinking I should clean out the air/fuel mix, replace the 1-inch spacer, and remove the collectors leaving the shield in . . . or just burn the whole car and start over since it singed my hair after I bent the butterflies with an nitrous backfire.
As you can see, I need serious help! Every way I go costs more money and eyebrows. I am still having a good time, but it would be better to get back to the 8.19s and eyebrows without the nitrous so the real fun can begin.

This is a classic case of not letting the engine tell you what it wants . . . as well as a classic case of doing too many things at once and not properly evaluating the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of each change. When troubleshooting or tuning, you need to think logically and make only one change at a time. If things don't improve, don't crutch things with yet another mod; go back to square one because obviously what you did change did not improve the situation.
We know the car ran best with the Q-jet, before it somehow "went away" at idle. For expediency, you threw on the Holley and the car ran worse. This is not surprising-the 830-cfm is a niche Holley carb developed to conform to NASCAR's 111/416-inch throttle-bore restriction rule. Basically, it has 850's 191/416-inch-od venturis on the 750 and 800 double-pumper's 1111/416-inch throttle-bores. An 830 is really intended for sustained 7,000-9,000rpm- oval-track use on high-compression engines with single-plane intakes and usually doesn't make a good dragstrip carb, often having a slight low-end insensitivity. Removing the power valve only compounded the off-idle transition problem. On the other hand, all 403 Olds QJs were 800-cfm carbs. Properly tuned, the QJ should be perfect for your low-compression engine and its relatively mild Edelbrock Performer RPM cam (0.496/0.520-inch valve lift, 224/234-degree duration at 0.050, 112-degree lobe separation, 107-degree intake centerline).
Go back to square one: the last best combination before things started going haywire. Put the Q-jet back on the engine! Chances are it's just a piece of dirt stuck in an idle tube that can be corrected with some carb spray. Check the fuel pressure. It should be 6 psi.
Fuel pressure OK? Look for vacuum leaks with a vacuum gauge and a spray bottle of detergent solution. No vacuum leak? Get the ignition checked out on a scope. As a last resort, rebuild the carb.
If you are sure there are no vacuum leaks, the carb is up to snuff, there's adequate fuel pressure, and nothing is wrong with the ignition, look at the engine. Check for bent valves, weak valvesprings (if the car slows down 1 mph it's a good clue it's time for a set of springs), or a flat cam-lobe (we've been having trouble with flat-tappets lately).
Once the problem is fixed and you are back to your 8.19 baseline, only then should you start fine-tuning to get the car to run even quicker. Throw a curve in the stock distributor or get an aftermarket distributor with a really fast advance curve. H-O Enterprises has been tuning 400 Pontiacs and 403 Oldsmobiles for a long time; owner Ken Crocie says, "We recommend a full 36 degrees of advance in by 2,000 rpm for racing, assuming the stock low-compression ratio."
Once the timing's squared away, concentrate on fine-tuning the carb. H-O sells recalibration kits to help dial in Q-jets. It needs the actual carburetor part number and a detailed description of the rest of the combination. Finally, for a primarily drag car, install at least 4.10 gears out back. For a dual-purpose street/strip car, you want about a 3.42 ring-and-pinion.
One final thought: A stock Olds 403 short-block has a really weak piston design. Not only are the pistons cast, but the pin boss oil ring return slot extends into the pin boss area! You are on borrowed time with nitrous with the stock pistons!
Only GM current production, GM current service, or Auburn replacement 8.5-inch 10-bolt drive pinions are machined to accept the late-model ABS-system exciter ring (right, compared to original-style non-ABS stem, left). The late style can be used on early (non-ABS) applications.
When it comes to rearends, inquiring readers want to know: What's the diff? Rearends come in all shapes and sizes, and they all move the car down the road . . . but strength and durability vary widely. Be sure you know what you're buying. Not all 10-bolts are GM-built, and even in GM's line there are many 10-bolt variants.
The Powertrax Lock-Right and its brethren are tailor-made for the do-it-yourselfer who lacks fancy setup tools. They also bridge the gap on those rearends for which a full-on limited-slip isn't offered. There's a Powertrax conversion for just about every rearend; this Lock-Right fits Chevy's 12-bolt, whose open-case diffs are fortunately fairly durable in their own right.

Virtually all of my family's birthdays fall in April and May; this week it's the CCM's turn. I wanted to make her something that was clearly a cake but, at the same time, I know she has a passion for panna cotta.
This cake is my own invention – it's effectively a hollowed out sponge filled with creamy panna cotta and then topped off with beautiful fruit, including luscious English strawberries.
My main concern was that as the panna cotta is liquid until set it would leak through the sponge. By lining the inside of the tin with plenty of clingfilm it meant that none of the liquid could escape – and it was rather tasty how it set in the sponge making it succulent; the best way to describe it is like an even creamier tres leche cake.
I will admit that for an hour after I put the panna cotta filled sponge into the fridge I couldn't walk by without gingerly opening the fridge door and peering in to make sure none had escaped. It's amazing how much tension you can build into making a cake!
Any spare panna cotta that won't fit in the sponge can simply be poured into ramekins and enjoyed as a bonus dessert. The quantities I provide below filled my cake and four ramekins.
You can fit more panna cotta in the cake if you make a double tier of sponge around the side of the cake (I realise I sound a total gutbucket saying that but, let's be honest, the only thing better than panna cotta is more panna cotta!). As sponge is soft and bendy you can keep cutting the sponge in concentric circles and then pressing these into the sides – they will shape to the curve of the tin. This is one of those things that's quite wordy to describe but a picture will make it clearer.
Here's the single tier sponge bowl:
You can see how much extra height you get by adding a second tier. Here it is in progress:
My lovely sponge bowl (not to be confused with the Superbowl, which is far less interesting):
The only sponge I had left at the end was the top I cut off to level the cake and a tiny disc.
Happy birthday CCM!
For the cake:
250g unsalted butter, at room temperature
220g caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
80ml milk
300g self raising flour
For the panna cotta:
12 gelatine leaves
1l milk (anything but skimmed – does that even contain milk?)
1l double cream
4 vanilla pod, cut open and seeds scraped out
100g caster sugar
To decorate: whipped cream and fresh fruit
Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
Line the base of a 20cm springform deep baking tin with baking paper.
Start by making the sponge: Beat together the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Don't skimp on this stage as this is when you get lots of lovely air into your sponge.
Beat in the eggs gradually, add some of the flour if it looks like it might curdle.
Beat in the milk.
Stir in the flour until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Spoon into the prepared tins and level the surface.
Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the sponge comes out clean. Another good sign is if the sponge is just pulling away from the edge of the tin.
Leave to cool in the tin for about 20 minutes before turning out and leaving to cool completely on a wire rack.
You can make the sponge the day before the panna cotta. In fact, this is a good idea as it gives time for the sponge to firm up.
Cut a slice, about 2cm thick off the base of the sponge - this will be the bottom to your finished cake.
Line the springform tin you baked the cake in with clingfilm, then wrap the outside in foil. This is so no panna cotta can escape while it's setting.
Sit the disc of sponge in the bottom of the lined tin.
Level the sponge by slicing the top off. This off cut will not be used in the cake so either eat, or use for a trifle base etc.
You will now have the middle disc of sponge. Cut a circle out of this, careful not to damage the sides. The size of the circle you cut out will determine how much panna cotta you can fill the sponge with – I aimed to leave an edge of approx 1.5cm thickness.
Sit the "O" shaped outer piece in the lined tin above the base sponge. You now have your 'sponge bowl' to fill with panna cotta. You can build a second tier by cutting another ring out of the remaining sponge – it is soft enough to mould to the curve of the tin.
Now make the panna cotta: Soak the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water until they are soft.
Place the milk, cream, vanilla pod, vanilla seeds and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
Discard the vanilla pod.
Squeeze as much water as you can out of the gelatine leaves and whisk into the creamy mixture. It will dissolve pretty quickly but make sure you've thoroughly whisked it in as you don't want lumps.
Ladle the mixture into your sponge bowl and press a sheet of clingfilm onto the surface of each – this stops a skin forming. If the sponge comes up above the height of the tin (mine did, as I had a double tier of sponge) ensure that you only fill up the top of the tin – not the sponge.
If you have any panna cotta left over, spoon it into ramekins and eat these as dessert! I had enough left over for four full ramekins.
Leave to cool before refrigerating for at least a couple of hours (overnight is best).
When ready to serve decorate with whipped cream and fruit.
Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have made.

Since taking office, Virginia Republicans Gov. Bob McDonnell and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli have quickly made clear that they plan to insert their far-right ideologies into state policies. McDonnell, for example, controversially issued an executive order in February that stripped sexual orientation out of an executive order banning discrimination in state hiring. Cuccinelli recently filed a petition claiming that global warming is "unverifiable and doctored" science, sued the federal government to stop health care reform, and instructed state colleges to stop protecting LGBT students from discrimination.
What's been encouraging, however, is Virginia's response to these far-right edicts. Citizens opposed to McDonnell and Cuccinelli's attempts to impose their ideology on the state are increasingly speaking up and refusing to go along with the new policies:
— The Virginia Board of Corrections yesterday "adopted a resolution reaffirming a nondiscrimination policy that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, overruling concerns expressed by a representative from Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's office." The board, whose members were appointed by previous Democratic governors, said that the department shall "make all employment decisions based on one's merits and qualifications and specifically prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, sex, color, national origin, religion, retaliation, age, political affiliation, sexual orientation, veteran status, and person with disabilities, except when age or sex is a bona fide occupational qualification."
— Yesterday, the Virginia Air Pollution Control Board issued "a symbolic rebuke" of Cuccinelli's plan to challenge the EPA's power to regulate greenhouse gases. "The seven-member, governor-appointed citizen board directed its chairman, Hullihen Moore, to tell the EPA that Cuccinelli is not acting on their behalf. The move holds no legal ground." The members of the board were appointed by former governor Tim Kaine.
— On Wednesday, the George Mason University Board of Visitors met to discuss its response to Cuccinelli's letter telling colleges and universities that they do not have authority to include ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The board, however, adopted a resolution reaffirming their existing policy, which does include such protections.
— After receiving Cuccinelli's letter, William & Mary President Taylor Reveley sent a message to the campus community saying that although its Board of Visitors needed to review Cuccinelli's views, "let's be clear that William & Mary neither discriminates against people nor tolerates discrimination on our campus. … Those of us at W&M; insist that members of our campus community be people of integrity who have both the capacity to meet their responsibilities to the university and the willingness to engage others with civility and respect. We do not insist, however, that members of our community possess any other particular characteristics, whether denominated in race, religion, nationality, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other of the myriad personal characteristics that differentiate human beings."
— Around 250 people showed up to a Virginia Commonwealth University forum following Cuccinelli's letter on discrimination. The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported that most of the attendees urged administrators "to take a strong stand against" the attorney general's new policy, citing the detrimental affect removing LGBT protections would have on hiring practices and student retention.
— Scientists at the University of Virginia Department of Environmental Sciences, which runs the Virginia Climatology Office, have spoken out against the right-wing petition — joined by Cuccinelli — challenging the EPA's finding that greenhouse gas emissions endanger the public. They have said that Cuccinelli's extreme views are without merit, and they are "confident" of the facts of manmade global warming.
Earlier this month, in an effort to quell the "growing uproar" in the state over the new policies, McDonnell issued a new directive to the state's 102,000 employees "that prohibits discrimination in the state workforce, including on the basis of sexual orientation, and warns he will reprimand or fire anyone who engages in it." While the directive took "a strong stand against discrimination," it doesn't carry the full weight of an executive order, and McDonnell "opted not to push legislation that would produce a similar effect."

Generally, I don't chirp alot to coaches when speaking about items like this.
Most coaches know they need a pair per each field, probably 5 ft diameter unless they are in a D1 or pro park (6 ft is not as easy to maneuver if you have to move it a lot) and more often than not, they are green.
If you need em, we've got em, ready to ship in most cases. What you may want to consider is that green is most common and ship within 1-3 days, and we now have them in team colors (generally within 2 weeks or less.
These fungo circles aka on deck circles, are spike-proof, backed with a very-thick 5 mil (millimeter) outdoor backing with a very dense number of strands per each square inch as in all our field turf products.
Glue Down or Throw Down
Same product, your choice. I recommend gluing over concrete or asphalt using a product called Henry's Glue (found at most Home Depot/Lowes).
Sized For All Fields
Fungo Circles / On Deck Circles are available in the following diameters:
- 4 ft. diameter -- for fastpitch & youth fields - they look small on adult fields
- 5 ft. diameter -- perfect size for any but the largest of fields
- 6 ft. diameter -- too big for most fields - especially in bright colors

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was hospitalized at New York Presbyterian Hospital today after doctors say she suffered a blood clot during a follow-up exam related to a concussion she suffered this month, said her spokesman, Deputy Assistant Secretary Philippe Reines. He elaborated that Hillary will remain at the hospital for the next 48 hours, so doctors can "continue to assess" her condition, "including other issues associated with her concussion," treat her with anti-coagulants, and "determine if any further action is required." Ugh.
The concussion occurred while Hillary was suffering from a stomach virus earlier in the month. (You know, the same virus some conservatives were claiming to be political fakery that would conveniently allow the Secretary of State to avoid testifying in an open Congressional hearing about the September 11 U.S. Consulate attacks in Benghazi -- which now sounds even more ridiculous.) She fainted due to dehydration, causing the concussion. So scary.
While Reines didn't specify where the blood clot was, thankfully it sounds like her doctors have the situation under control ... Still, it's just plain horrible to think about Hillary suffering from an emergency health issue like this. We always see her looking so strong and so cool (especially over the past year, what with the Texts from Hillary meme and all), so in control, so jet-set, having logged more than 400 travel days and nearly a million miles.
Hillary was actually supposed to return to work this week, after having been out for the past three weeks due to this illness. But clearly, her personal well-being and full recovery now is much, much more important. Fingers crossed her condition improves quickly, but also completely before she heads back to D.C. to wrap up her incredibly busy tenure as secretary of state. Because while it may not be right away, we're talking about a truly amazing, inspiring, potentially presidential stateswoman here. A woman who MUST get well soon, because well after she walks away from the State Department, she'll still have a lot of work to do.
How did you react to this news about Secretary Clinton?

thats funny, ever since I bought my car I have wanted to take the back seat out just to see if there are any more receipts, build sheet, etc. I worked at for a about 15 minutes and gave up. I figured it wan't meant to be just yet. Usually they come out easier than they go in, not in my case....I will have to give it another try at one point, I am not sure the seat has ever been out.
