The protest took place as Gen Than Shwe, chairman of the ruling State Law nd Order Restoration Council (Slorc) was an route to Bangkok from Rangoon for the historic event. Organizers ignored warnings, surveillance and attempts by the police to clamp down on demonstrations during the summit. Police blocked the protesters from reaching the Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel here the Fifth Asean Summit was being held, by surrounded them at the Central Post Office until 12.30pm. The demonstrators were allowed to march on to the hotel, several hundred metres away, only after all the leaders had left for luncheon at another nearby hotel. Than Shwe arrived at the Sheraton in the afternoon _ under tight security provided by Thai police_ to find the students protesting his government's authoritarian rule. The protest attracted the attention of passers-by and worsened the area's normally bad traffic. The students issued a statement protesting the presence of Than Shwe and urging Asean members to support the Burmese pro-democracy movement. The statement said Than Shwe and his delegation did not represent Burma or the Burmese people because they came to power in a violent coup in which more than 3,000 people were killed. Slorc, the students said, is heavily involved in human rights violations and has introduced an economic system that only benefits the ruling class. Slorc leaders have shown no willingness to engage popular opposition leader Suu Kyi in political dialogue, they added, even though they released her in early July after nearly six years of house arrest. The demonstrators said Than Shwe's participation at the summit signified Asean's acceptance and endorsement of Slorc as the representative of the Burmese people, a status that was not legitimate. They urged Asean to introduce assistance projects which would benefit the Burmese populace in general, to directly observe and monitor human rights abuses in Burma, and to support and cooperate with pro-democracy movements in the country. They also called for a boycott of trade, investment and tourism in Burma until Slorc hands over power to democratic forces. "Asean's policy of constructive engagement has proven a complete failure," said a statement adopted at a forum on Wednesday at Thammasat University. The forum was attended by about 40 students from various countries. "Over 3,000 political prisoners remain in prison and human rights abuses continue on a regular basis. Asean must consider economic, arms and tourism sanctions against the [Burmese] dictatorship," the statement said. Suriyasai Katasila of the Students' Federation of Thailand later passed the statement on to Saroj Chavanaviraj, deputy permanent secretary of the Thai Foreign Ministry, expecting it to be delivered to the heads of government attending the summit. "Asean is wrong for inviting the Slorc to the summit," said Jaimy Parker of the National Union of Students of Australia. "Slorc is not the legitimate representative of the Burmese people, and Asean needs to reasess its policy of constructive engagement because it is not working. " They should take advice from Suu Kyi. She said now is not the right time for investment in Burma. We believe Asean should look toward following her lead and not include the Slorc in a legitimate forum like Asean." The peaceful protest was closely watched and by hundreds of uniformed and plain-clothes policemen. They tried to determine the protesters' identities, home countries and residences in Bangkok after being warned that more protests would take place today. When asked if the protesters feared a backlash from Thai authorities for disturbing the summit, Parker said he was afraid the Thai police would harass Burmese students who are seeking asylum in the country. He added that many of the students protesting yesterday hold Australian passports. In the western province of Ratchaburi, several hundred Burmese students planned to protest today in the "safe area" set up two years ago by the government to temporarily house the exiled students. The BANGKOK POST (Dec. 15, 1995: Demonstrators rally at hotel in Burma protest) added: (excerpts) The Students' Federation of Thailand, which is also part of the alliance, urged ASEAN to consider giving aid directly to the Burmese people in education, public health and agro-industry, instead of handing it to the Rangoon junta. The federation said: "ASEAN countries should join hands in pushing for the democratisation of Burma by supporting pro-democracy leaders as well as the dialogue process towards national reconciliation. " The anti-Rangoon Karen National Union yesterday urged ASEAN leaders to use the Burmese prime minister's visit to pressure the junta into effecting political reforms. In a statement yesterday it said: "The KNU ... would like to appeal to ASEAN leaders to use their prestige and influence to ... persuade Gen Than Shwe of the need for the SLORC to urgently make a real commitment to peace, freedom and democracy in Burma." ************************************************************** BKK POST: US SENATOR SEEKS TOUGHER SANCTIONS AGAINST BURMA December 15, 1995 US Subcommittee on Foreign Operation chairman Sen Mitch McConnell addressed the Senate on December 8 on the subject of Burma. Following are excerpts of his speech. LAST week, in yet another remarkable act of courage, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi announced her party, the National League for Democracy, will not participate in the constitutional convention called by the State Law and Order Restoration Council. As many who have followed Burma in recent years know, remaining true to the people who elected her and the NLD in 1990, Suu Kyi declared: "A country which is drawing up a constitution that will decide the future of the state should have the confidence of the people"_ a standard SLORC clearly does not and cannot meet." SLORC has now charged Suu Kyi and her supporters as engaging in confrontational politics but, as Suu Kyi is quick to point out: What they have termed confrontational is that we have asked for dialogue, which we want in order to prevent confrontation. To silence the views of people whose opinions are different by putting them in prison is far more confrontational. Let me assure my colleagues that Suu Kyi's understanding of the deteriorating situation in Burma is not a lonely minority view. Last week United Nations, once again, took up the question of Burma's political and human rights record. Once again, the Special Rapporteur, Dr Yokota, issued a report which few may actually read, but it is a powerful voice for the thousands and thousands of Burmese citizens who continue to suffer at the hands of SLORC. Dr Yokota paints a grim portrait of Burma today _ a picture which stands at odds with the one the international business community would have us see. A few months ago, in my office, I listened as the chairman of a large American oil company eager to do business with SLORC denounced as rumours and gossip the idea that the SLORC was engaged in any forced relocations related to his project. I respectfully suggest this month's UN report rises above the gossip standard. I have taken the time to come to the floor to discuss these events because I am deeply disturbed by twin developments: a major campaign by American companies to enhance the political legitimacy of SLORC even as SLORC attempts to crush the fledgling democracy movement inside Burma. In recent weeks, many United States businesses have engaged in an aggressive campaign to persuade the public that SLORC is worth doing business with because, like Vietnam and China, Burma can be improved through economic engagement. I think it is important to draw a key distinction. Unlike China and Vietnam, Burma held legitimate elections and chose a leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. The elections by all accounts were free, fair and 7 million people made their views absolutely clear. I must confess, I was appalled by a recent study produced by the National Bureau for Asian Research which suggested these results were essentially irrelevant. The report said, Suu Kyi was: "Obviously sincere, but it remains to be seen how successful she will be in her attempts and whether her supporters are helping her attain a position of leadership." Insult was added to injury when the report stated: "Even assuming the time may come when she does have a say in how the country is governed, it is an open question of how well equipped she is for such responsibilities, and to what extent she would be able to rely on experienced technocrats and administrators." When recently pressed by a representative of the UN Secretary General to engage in a dialogue with Suu Kyi, SLORC officials dismissed the request pointing out, Suu Kyi was now "an ordinary citizen, that in 1990 there were as many as 230 political parties with which it would be impossible to establish dialogue and it would thus not be even-handed to single out any one of them". Well, she is the one they elected. To make the argument that the United States should resign itself to dealing with SLORC to bring about change, compromises the very core of beliefs that define our history and guide this nation. We do not yield to vicious dictators_ we do not abandon those who strain against the barbed wire shackles of repression.. It is not just the campaign that is being waged here at home to enhance SLORC's political credentials that has brought me to the floor of the Senate. I am also concerned about recent events in Burma. Not only has SLORC repeatedly and publicly rejected Suu Kyi's call for a dialogue on national reconciliation, last week a senior official threatened to annihilate anyone who attempted to- endanger the military's rule. This week, the noose tightened a little more and Suu Kyi was directly threatened. The official military newspaper called Suu Kyi a traitor who should be annihilated. Rhetoric has been matched by an increased willingness to restrict Suu Kyi's role. In October, the National Democracy League voted to reinstate Suu Kyi as general secretary along with a slate of other officials. In yet another effort to work peacefully with SLORC, the NLD submitted the leadership list to the junta for approval. SLORC rejected the results as illegal and refused to recognise Suu Kyi's position. Is it any wonder her party has decided they cannot participate in the constitutional convention process? Last week_ like every week since her release_ thousands of people gathered outside Suu Kyi's home to listen to her speak. Each Saturday and Sunday spontaneous crowds have made the pilgrimage to her compound and left inspired by her courage, her confidence, and her commitment to their freedom and future. It is a crowd described in the UN report and in news accounts as large and peaceful with a sense of purpose and discipline. Unfortunately, two weeks ago,, there was a sharp change in the SLORC's tolerance for these gathering. In an apparent attempt to restrict access to Suu Kyi, police began to erect barricades around her home. I understand three young student supporters were arrested when they tried to intervene. According to Dr Yokota's report, corroborated by newspaper stories, the three were charged and sentenced two days later to two years imprisonment. These arrests were followed by another ominous development. When the NLD announced it would not participate in the constitutional convention the party's senior officials woke up to find their homes surrounded by armed soldiers. Democracy activists are not suffering in Burma alone. Last week nine members of The New Era newspaper staff were detained in Thailand. The New Era is an underground newspaper with wide circulation inside Burma _ apparently being caught with a copy results in immediate arrest. Bowing to pressure from SLORC, in anticipation of an upcoming visit by a senior junta official, Khin Nyunt, Thai officials apparently have detained The New Era journalists _including a 71-year-old editor and his 65-year-old wife. Reports from activists inside and outside Burma suggest a broad crack down on democratic activists is imminent. I hope this is not true and urged the administration to make clear United States opposition to any such actions. However, the evidence suggests there is credible reason to be concerned. In the near future the United Nations will take up a resolution regarding Burma. I have been advised that the United Nations will, once again, condemn the human rights and political situation in clear and compelling terms. I commend Ambassador Albright for her efforts to assure our support for Suu Kyi and democracy in Burma are spelled out in the resolution. However, for more than a year the administration has argued Burma and SLORC has a choice _ they must immediately improve their human rights record and move promptly to open the political process or they will face further international isolation. I agree, but my definition of prompt and immediate seems to differ with theirs. I think we have given SLORC ample time to make a decision. Given recent events, it is clear they have now intention to relax their ruthless grip on power. So in conjunction with the UN resolution it is my intention to introduce bipartisan sanctions legislation There is no question that sanctions and further isolation of SLORC is an initiative Suu Kyi supports. Indeed once again this week she denounced the increase in foreign investment and urged companies to wait until democracy has been restored before bringing business to Burma. **************************************************** HON. BILL RICHARDSON: SPPECH ON BURMA IN THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES December 13, 1995 (abridged) Mr. RICHARDSON. Mr. Speaker, I want to submit for the Record Ambassador Madeleine Albright's remarks on the human rights situation in Burma to the U.N. General Assembly Third Committee. I join Ambassador Albright's endorsement of the U.N. resolution to urge the Government of Burma to cease its violations of internationally recognized human rights. I also want to take this opportunity to commend Ambassador Albright for her tremendous work on this issue. I encourage all Members to support the work of our U.N. Representative as she relentlessly pursues the cause of Burmese democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi. Ambassador Albright had a great meeting in Burma this fall Aung San Suu Kyi. Recent developments in Burma have given us cause for great concern. It is imperative that the governing State Law and Order Restoration Council understand that the United States and the international community will not tolerate threats or actions that suppress the advancement of the democratic movement in Burma . (Madeleine Albright's Speech is not posted here as it was already posted in the BurmaNet News, Issue #300) ****************************************************** TIMES OF INDIA: CHINA HAS CAPITALIZED ON MYANMAR's ISOLATION December 15, 1995ians attempts. ****************************************************************** JAPAN TIMES: YEN-LOAN TAP FOR MYANMAR MAY GO DRY Hardline Moves Strain Constructive Engagement (abridged) December 15, 1995 By Hisane Masaki from carol@xxxxxxx Renewed political tensions in Myanmar are forcing Japn to consider putting the brakes on its recently declared policy of gradually turning on the aid tap for the impoverished Southeast Asian country. When the military regime -- which styles itself as the State Law and Order Restoration Council -- released dissident leader Aung San Suu Kyi in July after nearly six years of house arrest, many Japanese government officials couldn't hide their elatio n, trumpeting what to them was the success of their policy of "constructive engagement." Following Suu Kyi's freedom, Tokyo began to move, albeit cautiously, toward complete resumption of official economic aid for Rangoon, which was frozen after the military took power in a 1988 coup. As a first step, Tokyo provided 1.6 billion yen in grant-in-aid in October for the repair of a nurse training school in the capital. Until recently, Tokyo had planned to take a second step by extending 4.8 billion yen in official loans for the improvement of Rangoon's power supply network before the current fiscal year ends next March. But now Japanese officials say that the provision of those yen loans is likely to be delayed until next fiscal year because of the tense confrontation between the SLORC and Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy. The power supply network is among the six infrastructure projects that have been put on hold since the late 1980s because the yen loans Japan had committed earlier for them stopped flowing into Myanmar. The officials also say that Japan will postpone a planned "aid-policy dialogue" mission to Rangoon again, until sometime next year. The mission, originally planned for October to hear requests from Rangoon about Japanese aid, had been rescheduled fo r this month. The planned mission is designed to soothe the SLORC, which has been disappointed with what it sees as Japan's slow move toward a full-scale resumption of economic aid despite Suu Kyi's freedom, apparently expecting Japan to show more enthusiasm about future aid. "The mission would simply provide a chance to exchange views with SLORC officials on Japanese aid but would not pledge any fresh aid," a Japanese government source said. "But sending the mission now would send a wrong signal to the international com munity that Japan is clearly siding with the SLORC in its showdown with the NLD." Japan is widely believed to have played a key role behind the scenes in persuading the SLORC to release Suu Kyi. The fact that the Japanese Embassy in Rangoon was first informed of the SLORC decision reinforced that view. Japan has had long and especially amicable relationship with Myanmar, formerly Burma. Aung San, Suu Kyi's father and the country's revolutionary hero, received training in Japan during World War II. "Japan may have misled the SLORC by giving an impression that its aid tap would be turned on freely once Suu Kyi is released," a senior Japanese Foreign Ministry official said on condition that he not be named. Before the latest confrontation emerged between the SLORC and the NLD, Japan had also been considering an additional extension of grant aid as early as next spring, aimed at boosting food production in rural areas populated by ethnic minorities and i mproving medical equipment at a Mandalay hospital. But even the tentative date for this fresh humanitarian aid will probably be delayed because of the political impasse in Myanmar, another senior Foreign Ministry official said, requesting anonymity. "Japan may have been too optimistic about Myanmar's political situation," the official acknowledged. "Japan now is in no mood and in no hurry to provide fresh aid to Myanmar. Any such move would not only spark international criticism but also encou nter opposition from within the ruling coalition," the official said. What Japan fears most is another bout of military repression of prodemocracy forces. In that worst-case scenario -- indeed, there is a possibility of that happening -- Japan will lose its face and will be forced to reverse moves toward full resumpti on of aid. Many analysts say the SLORC will try to avoid quashing the prodemocracy movement by force, as it did in 1988, for fear of further damaging its international position and frightening away foreign investors, who in recent months have been trekking to M yanmar in droves to tap a potentially lucrative, resource-rich market of some 45 million people. But at the same time, the analysts do not rule out the possibility that an accidental clash between the military and prodemocracy forces would escalate into a repeat of the 1988 nightmare. "The current deadlock in Myanmar's politics is likely to continue for the time being," a senior Japanese government offical said on condition that he not be named. "We are closely watching to see if something that breaks the impasse will happen. The dates which we are paying extra attention to for the time being are: December 15, when Than Shwe will be in Bangkok, and January 4, the 48th anniversary of Burma' s independence from Britain," the official said. ********************************************************* NATION: JUNTA LEADER SAYS BURMA MOVING TOWARDS DEMOCRACY December 16, 1995 (abridged) BURMESE junta leader Lt Gen Than Shwe yesterday told Asean leaders this country is progressing towards an open-market economy, a process he predicted will lead to democracy. He said Burma's chances of becoming a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations had increased as a result of the SEA-10 nations meeting. According to Kobsak Chutikul, director general of the Foreign Ministry's Economic Affairs Department, Than Shwe told the other 10 leaders that he hoped Burma would be granted Asean observer status when Asean foreign ministers hold their annual meeting next year in Indonesia. Kobsak, who served as one of Prime Minister Banahrn Silapa-archa's three "technical staff" during the summit, said all 11 leaders reaffirmed Asean's policy of non-interference at the meeting. Than Shwe's remarks about the relationship between economic and political development in Burma are seen as an attempt to allay Asean concerns about the political and human rights situation there. Asked whether Asean wants to see a dialogue between Suu Kyi and the junta, Saroj Chavanaviraj, the Foreign Ministry's permanent secretary, said the group would not comment since that would represent interfering in others' domestic affairs. He said simply that Asean "has been watching" political developments in Burma. Saroj told a press conference after a meeting between Banharn and Than Shwe, who chairs the ruling State Law and Order Restoration Council (Slorc), that the Thai premier had said he hoped to visit Burma next month. Saroj said Banharn told Than Shwe that the Thai Cabinet had approved the border trade agreement between Thailand and Burma earlier this week. He said the two countries could sign it soon. The two countries still must set a date to sign the agreement, which was first proposed by Burma in February 1990. Saroj said the agreement was based on a similar pact Burma had signed with three other neighbours Bangladesh, China and India. He said both Thailand and Burma want the agreement since it should help regulate border trade and generate tax revenues. He admitted that smuggling and armed ethnic violence were crucial to the agreement's drafting. **************************************************************** BANGKOK POST: SURPRISE BURMA CHAT December 16, 1995 DEPUTY Premier and Defence Minister Gen Chavalit Yongchaiyudh was an unexpected arrival at the summit yesterday. He turned up for a private talk with his " brother ", Burma's Prime Minister Gen Than Shwe. " I just called on him as a brother," said Gen Chavalit, who claimed it was nothing more than a chat. Gen Chavalit also met Lt Gen Khin Nyunt, first secretary general of Burma's ruling State Law and Order Restoration Council, and Foreign Minister U Ohn Gyaw. Their half-hour meeting comprised 10 people including Deputy Army Commander Gen Chetta Tanajaro and Lt Sornchai Montriwat, a deputy interior minister who is in charge of the Burmese delegation. ---------------------------------------------------------- ***************************************************************** | http://www.burmalibrary.org/reg.burma/archives/199512/msg00156.html | 2013-05-18T10:12:21 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
In Part 1 of our discussion with the California Golden Blogs we talked about our schools and football programs more broadly. Here in Part 2 we get into this year's teams and players and the match up in the Holiday Bowl in San Diego.
PB, Burnt Orange Nation: Now that we've succeeded in getting our fan bases to hate one another, let's talk about the game, shall we? Tell us about your quarterback. How has he fared against defenses that do a good job getting pressure on the quarterback?
TwistNHook, California Golden Blogs: At Cal, there has been, at times, a lot of mediocrity. But it all stems from the quarterback position.
When we lost to USC and UCLA, QB Zach Maynard threw a combined eleveteen billion interceptions. The offense could never get going and the defense always found itself defending a really short field. That is NEVER a recipe for success.
With the improvement at the latter part of the season, Maynard cut down on the interceptions and started making smarter decisions. The gameplan for Texas is pretty simple. Harass Maynard to get him making poor decisions. This seems like it is the gameplan for every QB, but Maynard to be particularly susceptible to that in prior games.
Now, I'd like to think that that is behind him and that he'll be the game manager that we need. There is some talent around him. Keenan Allen is one of the best WRs in the nation. Marvin Jones is a talented senior. Isi Sofele and C.J. Anderson are a good compliment at RB. If Maynard can distribute the ball well, the offense can move. But that's the big question there. Can Maynard distribute the ball well?
To make sure that happens, Jeff Tedford is currently running up and down the stairs at the Philadelphia Museum Of Art. He'll be doing that and punching meat in Siberia for the next 20 days.
EYE OF THE TIGER!
But perhaps I am getting ahead of myself. What does Cal need to do to beat this Texas team?
PB, Burnt Orange Nation: On the offensive side of the ball, I think Cal really needs to keep the Texas D honest by making some plays with Maynard's legs. My co-author broke down a well-executed zone read that Cal ran against ASU, and I think it's hard to overstate how much it helps an offense to force the defense to account for the QB as a potential rusher. If Cal struggles to run the ball, Maynard's going to be in for a long evening of pressure, and I'd expect a turnover party. Keep us honest, though, and we have weaknesses (like our strong safety) that can be exploited.
On the flipside, well, basic competency should be sufficient to keep our offense in check. Without Fozzy Whittaker our offense has gone from average to awful, and any defense that can put us in 3rd and Must Pass is going to have a turnover party of its own. Our young quarterbacks have been absolutely dreadful any time they've been forced to carry the load on offense, and our running game simply hasn't been very effective the last third of the season as the injuries have piled up. We should have both Malcolm Brown and Joe Bergeron for this game, but if Cal can put this game on our young QBs, we're in big trouble.
What's the best way to pick on this Cal team?
TwistNHook, California Golden Blogs: Teams had the most success on offense against Cal when they were able to throw the ball well. Our DBs are young and our safeties have been inconsistent, at times. Look at the ASU offense, which threw up 38 on Cal. ASU QB Osweiler was able to pick on the Cal DBs and keep ASU rolling down the field:
Passing C-A-I Yds TD Long Sack
Osweiler,Brock 21-37-2 264 3 37 1
That opened up the running lanes, too:
Rushing No. Gain Loss Net TD Lg Avg
Marshall,C. 23 159 2 157 2 34 6.8
It has been my experience that the Cal rush D is superior to the Cal pass D (unless Oregon is involved). So, if Texas can't pass the ball and the Cal D can focus on the run, I think it will be more difficult for Texas to move the ball. However, if Texas is able to pass the ball well and especially pick up 3rd downs, it'll open up the running lanes. I don't think is rocket science, certainly (passing well helps running), but I think that Cal doesn't believe the Texas QBs can pass. So, they'll be looking running first.
UCLA was actually able to run well on Cal without any passing attack. They have that really weird Pistol offense and basically ran the same play over and over and over. I'd like to think that that was an aberration. Texas hopes that it isn't!
What should the Cal offense do to pick apart the Texas defense?
PB, Burnt Orange Nation: Sigh... That's not the profile Texas likes to see. We simply have no ability to make teams pay for weakness in the secondary. Same as has been true for every game since Fozzy blew out his knee, our quarterbacks are going to have to step up and provide at least average competency (without turning it over), or we'll lose barring an epic performance from the defense (see, Texas A&M game).
About that Texas defense, our starting strong safety just doesn't have any lateral range, nor the smarts/instincts to compensate for it -- Slow Later Range + Late Breaks On Ball = Disaster. So, if you see Cal trying to pick on #21 Blake Gideon, get giddy, Bears fans. That's the way to do it.
Of course, we don't make it easy on the quarterback, and RGIII's incredible success was as much about his pocket presence and incredible legs as it was picking on our safeties. Your QB has to be able to buy a little time with his feet because this Texas defense really gets tremendous pressure into the backfield.
I know it's not always the first thing people want to talk about, but I'm definitely curious about Cal's special teams. Any glaring strengths or weaknesses that could make a difference?
TwistNHook, California Golden BlogsHmm, special teams. Here is the thing about special teams. It consists of so many differing aspects that it is difficult to really have a clear determination. Let's take it one step at a time:
1. Kicking - Giorgio Tavecchio is the place kicker. He had a rough 2010 and many fans did not like him. You know how fans can be. There was a lack of faith coming into 2011. He's changed completely. Although he has had some XP problems (potentially due to poor blocking up front), he has been incredibly consistent on field goals. Amazing, really. On kick offs, he has made major strides! However, we still have some problems stopping returners at times.
2. Punting - Bryan Anger. Punting superstar! Another consistently great year. Started off a bit rough with some ill-timed rugby punting. That rugby style punting has gone by by and now he's back to his usual self. However, even with that, sometimes we still give up the big return. Cal needs to watch for that!
3. Returning kicks - A cast of characters have been returning kicks. My focus is on frosh Brendan Bigelow, who has Jahvid Best-style speed. However, I don't really think there has been an explosive return game here.
4. Returning punts - WR senior Marvin Jones has been returning punts. He is another speedster, but I don't remember a lot of amazing punt returns. The talent is there, but it just hasn't happened a lot. Woah, that is a lot!
What is Texas looking like?
PB, Burnt Orange Nation: Can a kicker with extra point problems be considered good? Maybe so, but I'm glad to hear that Cal's having trouble with blocking in its kicking game. Texas is a danger to block kicks and punts, and our offense needs all the help it can get so that's encouraging.
Our special teams are pretty simple: Justin Tucker. There, I'm done.
Seriously, that's mostly it. Tucker punts it (kinda sucks at that), kicks it off (oddly, he's good in some games, bad in others), and place kicks for us (the dude is nails, and he has range to 52 yards). Losing Fozzy Whittaker (returned 2 kickoffs back for TDs) really stung, but we've got some dynamite speed that can break big ones, both on kick offs (DJ Monroe and Marquise Goodwin) and punts (Quandre Diggs).
Alright, now that we've run through this match up pretty well now, do you feel any differently about the game? I'll be honest: I haven't watched Cal play a down of football this year, and heading into this conversation I sort of hoped to hear you describe a team with a profile that sounded pretty favorable to us. Instead, you rudely informed me that Cal is vulnerable to downfield passing. Greaaaat. We'll get right on that.
You know what, though: I like the Holiday Bowl. Texas has been a half dozen times and I've always had a terrific time in San Diego, and it's always helped raise the spirits after a pretty disappointing season. It's also been a nice launching point for us recently: we followed up our 2007 Holiday Bowl appearance with a 12-1 season, Fiesta Bowl berth, and No. 2 final ranking. And the time before that, we followed up our 2003 Holiday Bowl with, let's see, what happened in 2004...
Oh, yeah. We went 11-1 and made the Rose Bowl. Do you remember that?
TwistNHook, California Golden Blogs I should note a few other aspects. One is that our outside linebackers are not as good as our inside linebackers. ILB are 2 seniors, DJ Holt and Mychal Kendricks (Pac-12 D Player of the Year). Just to note, Cal plays a 3-4, generally, and has done so since 2008. Outside is a motley crue of talented youth. So, when it comes to running up the middle, maybe not so much. But if Texas can take advantage of some of the inconsistencies of the OLB, they might be able to make some hay.
The UCLA game consisted of UCLA QB Kevin Prince taking almost every snap out of the pistol. Then, he would fake it to the RB and run around the edge. Whenever they gave it to the RB, he got stuffed up the middle for no gain. But every frigging time Prince ran around the edge, he would get the edge and rumble for many, many yards. It was ridiculously frustrating on a variety of levels. So, that is another way in which Texas can take advantage of the Cal D. Will they be able to do so? I'd like to think not. But I never know.
That UCLA loss was truly horrific. We played UCLA the week after they got DESTROYED by Arizona and half their offense was suspended. Cal had no business losing that game. No business. Perhaps the worst loss in the Tedford era. At that point, people were talking when Tedford would leave the program.
Winning 3 out of the last 4 (even if 2 of them against really bad teams) to accomplish our pre-season predictions really turned things around. If Cal can score the win against the Longhorns, we'll see some very happy fans going into 2012. 2012 looks to be a great season as Cal returns to its ancestral lair (Memorial Stadium) and hopes to build off of the hopeful end of the season. And if we can force Mack Brown into retirement...even better!
But, I'm not gonna woof too much. This is a tough Texas team and there are no guarantees.
PB, Burnt Orange Nation: Sounds like Texas will have some opportunities to test Cal's speed on the edge with jet sweeps and reverses to DJ Monroe, Marquis Goodwin, and Jaxon Shipley. Cal fans should note, of course, that Bryan Harsin is our offensive coordinator, and he's brought his bag of trick plays from Boise State with him. I fully expect to see one of our receivers throw a pass in the game.
Alright, well, this has been fun. Any final thoughts as we wrap this thing up?
TwistNHook, California Golden Blogs GO BEARS! BEAT TEXAS! HELL YES!
PB, Burnt Orange Nation: Just remember:

Jindal to education activists: 'The truth and the people are winning'
Gov. Bobby Jindal addressed a crowd of nearly 350 school choice activists at the American Federation for Children's third annual National Policy Summit in Jersey City, N.J., yesterday. "You've got the truth and the American people on your side," Jindal told the crowd, according to an AFC press release. "The truth and the people are winning when it comes to education reform." Jindal touted the recently passed statewide expansion of the private-school voucher program, which the AFC says is part of "a comprehensive education reform package" that could apply to "as many as 380,000 students across Louisiana." However, John White, Louisiana's top education official, says 2,000 is a more reasonable estimate of how many students might participate in the program during its first year. Critics say the program violates the state constitution's requirement that "minimum foundation program" dollars be spent on public | http://www.businessreport.com/article/20120504/BUSINESSREPORT0112/120509907/0/index-7.html | 2013-05-18T10:52:45 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Written by Phil Savage, SportBusiness Group
Staging the Olympics in London was always going to be a risk although not for many of the usual reasons. London’s ability to build venues, organise the logistics, sell tickets and generally put on a world-class show was never in doubt. Security might be high in the minds of some but the biggest risk was always with the media.
It is hard for non residents truly to appreciate what the London media environment is like. The British press is a force of nature which, in full flight, is a truly awesome phenomenon. Yet it is this beast that will determine the marketing success or failure of the companies who pay millions to associate their brands with the Olympics.
Part of the challenge lies in the values that the Olympic movement represents which tout such high ideals that it almost invites parody. Commentators make great sport highlighting the “hypocrisy” of all those involved in areas where they fall short of the Olympic rhetoric.
Keen Vancouver 2010 watchers will recall that sponsors fall into two categories: those in the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) TOP Programme and national brands recruited by the local organising committee. Life will be generally easier for local sponsors like British Airways and (former state telecom monopoly) BT who have the advantage of being seen as patriotic.
Local partners do not avoid scrutiny entirely, however. BP has been criticised over its environmental record as has Rio Tinto, which is the company supplying the metal for the medals.
Confectionary brand Cadburys campaign linked to school sports equipment was greeted with howls of derision when journalists worked out the mountains of chocolate that would be consumed as a result.
The fortunes of international brands like Adidas and Dow Chemical recruited by LOCOG, have also been mixed. Adidas enjoyed/endured 48 hours of heat when it wrapped itself in a slightly blue Union flag to launch the TeamGB kit. Its inspired choice of designer Stella McCartney (daughter of Beatle Paul) proved decisive as her unimpeachable British credentials won the day for the brand.
Dow, by contrast must regret its decision to provide the wrap for the Olympic stadium. Protests from the Indian Olympic Committee over the company’s links to the Bhopal disaster have been a gift to critics who have held the sponsor’s feet to the fire for months.
Other IOC sponsors have also had had their triumphs and disasters. Timing brand Omega popped up to brand the countdown clock which promptly stopped, causing the company to duck back behind its brand ambassadors.
GE has majored on its status as a major British employer – a good call given the current uncertainty in the jobs market.
Visa has annoyed most Londoners with its deal to be the exclusive credit card for all ticket and merchandise purchases but as it takes a percentage on every sale is probably happy already.
P&G has favoured a message around motherhood designed to play well on social media which has probably not had the pick up it might have hoped. Additionally, the company simultaneously announced a huge cut in its ad spending which didn’t exactly endear them to the media moguls.
Given the mixed reaction to sponsors and the significant risk of brand damage one is tempted to ask ‘why do they do it?’ No doubt once the Olympics are over there will be the usual post-rationalisation by sponsors: I guarantee none will declare 2012 a failure. By then the media monster will have moved on to devour something else and a new town will be getting ready for the Olympic wagon train.

British Airways is about to connect Yorkshire to the world. Right now, when proud Yorkshire people wish to patronise their national airline, they must either trek west across the Pennines to Manchester or take the train south to London.
Neither option is particularly palatable. The Pennines form a physical divide with Manchester and when you arrive there you must still take a British Airways flight to London (as the airline no longer provides international services from the regions).
Catching the train is not much better. You arrive at King’s Cross and from there must navigate your way across town to a London airport served by BA. So it’s little wonder that the carrier will be welcomed with open arms when its new direct flight from Heathrow arrives in Yorkshire’s financial capital of Leeds on December 9.
There will be up to four daily flights. Southbound services will depart at 0915, 1315, 1555 and 2030. Northbound, the departures are at 0700, 1120, 1350 and 1850. The flight time is 60-70 minutes on A319/A320 jets. Return fares range from £110 to more than £200 depending on when you book and travel.
But rather than carrying point-to-point passengers, BA is primarily aiming its service at people taking connecting flights at Heathrow, especially those heading long-haul. For example, the 0915 flight connects with late-morning transatlantic departures, while the later flights out of Leeds link with departures to the Gulf, Africa, Asia and so on.
The first flight of the day from Heathrow, at 0700, connects with overnight inbound services from Asia and Australasia. The final flight at 1850 is ideal for travellers coming in from Asia, the Gulf and mainland Europe. It also connects with daylight BA services from Beijing and Shanghai, from Singapore with rival Singapore Airlines, and from Hong Kong with Oneworld partner Cathay Pacific.
Leeds was last connected to Heathrow (by Bmi) in 2009. Flybe then took over the London route, serving Gatwick rather than Heathrow. But transfer passengers are the key to the route’s success – and Gatwick has nowhere near the volume of connecting traffic that Heathrow does – so it’s not surprising that Flybe failed to make a success of it.
John Parkin, chief executive of Leeds Bradford airport, says: “This important new service provides our businesses with the access they need to emerging and established local markets, and enables those markets to easily come to Yorkshire, bringing their investment and inbound tourism direct into our region.”
Overseas investors value connectivity, and it’s easier for a region to sell itself to the outside world when its main city appears on the national carrier’s aviation map. It is true that you can fly overseas from Leeds with budget carriers such as Jet2 and Ryanair, but in common with other budget carriers, they do not interline so you have to buy separate tickets and complete separate check-in procedures. This not only creates bother but you may also find that euro-priced fares out of mainland Europe are more expensive than their UK equivalents.
By targeting connecting passengers, BA’s service is aimed at meeting competition from Dutch airline KLM. The latter has served Leeds for many years, providing global links to Yorkshire air travellers. It may also be designed to head off competition from any other global carrier who may be thinking of moving into Leeds.
But point-to-point passengers aren’t entirely neglected. Travellers within easy reach of Heathrow who are making a day trip to Leeds or the West Yorkshire region will find that BA’s schedules allow more time for work on arrival than is possible by train. Otherwise, if you are travelling downtown to downtown then train operator East Coast is impossible to beat. Its trains run every 30 minutes throughout much of the day between King’s Cross and Leeds, with a journey time of about two hours 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, there is now another option for Manchester. Like BA, Virgin Atlantic realises that connectivity from the UK regions is important. After the demise of Bmi, which used to feed Virgin with regional passengers, it must rely on a competitor for connecting traffic. So it’s hardly surprising that Virgin has decided to “go it alone”, and will launch a Manchester-Heathrow route in March. There will be three flights a day using A319 aircraft and, as with BA’s Leeds route, schedules link with Virgin’s long-haul services.
VintageKrug - 29/09/2012 07:21
It will be interesting to see how long this route persists, as it's largely believed to be a shorthaul slot-sitting exercise until BA's new A380/787 longhaul fleet begins to arrive in 2013, after which time these slots will be used by more profitable longhaul services as capacity permits.
Personally, I'll stick with Yorkshire Airlines:

(Updates with bond, stock prices from fifth paragraph, comment from portfolio manager in 16th paragraph.)
Dec. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Peruvian President Ollanta Humala swore in 10 new ministers led by a former army officer as he seeks to take a firmer stance on protests that halted the nation’s biggest investment project.
Humala named Oscar Valdes cabinet chief to replace Salomon Lerner, who unexpectedly quit after the four-month-old government declared a state of emergency Dec. 4 to suppress protests against Newmont Mining Corp’s $4.8 billion Minas Conga mine expansion. Lerner, a former businessman, led the government’s unsuccessful bid to negotiate an end to a month of sometimes violent marches by peasants against the gold and copper project.
Some government allies including former President Alejandro Toledo expressed concern that the appointment of Valdes, a former army lieutenant colonel like Humala, could signal a shift to an anti-democratic, hard-line approach to brewing social unrest. While Humala’s commitment to pro-business policies looks intact for now, investors should brace themselves for more political uncertainty, said Kathryn Rooney Vera, an emerging markets analyst at Bulltick Capital Markets in Miami.
“This is going to cause some volatility,” Rooney Vera said in a phone interview. “Being one of the shortest-lived cabinets in Peru’s history doesn’t help market confidence.”
Spread Widens
The extra yield investors demand to own Peruvian government bonds instead of U.S. Treasuries rose three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 213 at 9:47 a.m. in New York, matching an increase in spreads in the region, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. Peru’s spread was 154 basis points a year ago.
The Lima General Index of stocks retreated 0.6 percent compared with the MSCI EM Latin America Index’s 2.6 percent drop. The sol weakened 0.2 percent to 2.70 per U.S. dollar, according to Deutsche Bank AG’s local unit. The Bloomberg JPMorgan Latin American Currency Index lost 1.2 percent.
Humala took office in July vowing to boost spending on the third of Peruvians that live in poverty without jeopardizing $50 billion in mining investments expected over the next decade. Lerner, a former trade negotiator and Humala’s campaign manager, had been a key part of that strategy, convincing foreign mining companies to go along with a windfall tax on profits approved by Congress in September.
Cabinet Shuffle
Humala retained in their posts independents including Finance Minister Miguel Castilla and Foreign Trade Minister Jose Silva. Jorge Merino, previously head of mining at the government’s private investment promotion agency, was named mines & energy minister.
“This is a cabinet of managers and specialists that aims to combine economic growth with social inclusion,” Valdes said in an interview with Lima-based Panorama television after being sworn in yesterday. Valdes said he’ll seek to impose discipline in his 19-member cabinet, which he described as “more coherent” than the last one.
Lerner gave few reasons for his abrupt departure. An early backer of Humala, when the candidate was still shunned by most investors for his past support of Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, he said in his resignation letter that his departure would allow the government to begin “a new phase” and execute its policies with a freer hand.
Mine Occupation
Humala in 2000 led 50 soldiers who seized and occupied for a week a mine owned by Phoenix-based Southern Copper Corp. to protest corruption in the government of then-President Alberto Fujimori. He defeated then Congresswoman Keiko Fujimori in a June runoff that Nobel Prize-winning novelist Mario Vargas Llosa likened to the choice between two forms of terminal cancer, given the authoritarian tendencies associated with Humala and the decade-long rule of Fujimori’s father.
Valdes, 62, is also a former lieutenant colonel who taught Humala at a Lima military academy. He turned to business after leaving the army in 1991 and ran milk, flour and pasta companies in Peru’s southern Tacna region, where he served as president of the local chamber of commerce. He served as Humala’s Interior Minister until yesterday’s reshuffle.
Valdes’ appointment suggests the government “will be less willing to negotiate with rural communities, and quicker to use authoritarian tactics to break up what is a growing number of protests,” said Cesar Perez-Novoa, a managing director at Celfin Capital in Santiago. A policy of less dialogue “may not necessarily mean success,” he wrote a note to investors today.
Southern Copper, Anglo American Plc and Bear Creek Mining Corp. have all suspended work on mining projects in the Peruvian Andes as a result of demonstrations by farmers concerned that their water supplies could be polluted. Denver-based Newmont, the world’s largest gold producer, said it halted work at Minas Conga to help the government re-establish peace.
Hurting Growth
The protests risk curtailing economic growth in the world’s third-largest copper and sixth-largest gold producer by an average 2.9 percentage points next year and in 2013, Bank of America Corp. said in a Dec. 7 report. Mining accounts for about 18 percent of investment in Peru over the past 12 months, compared with 5 percent three years ago, the bank said.
“It’s a more orderly, consensual and moderate cabinet,” Maher Saba, co-portfolio manager at Compass Group Safi, said by telephone from Lima. “The clearest indication that it’s a moderate cabinet is finance minister Castilla. The fact he stayed is hugely important.”
Peru’s economy, the sixth-largest in South America, is expected to grow 6.7 percent this year before expansion slows to between 5 percent and 6 percent in 2012, according to Castilla. The economy grew 8.8 percent in 2010.
‘Fiscal Foundations’
“We’ve managed to maintain the fiscal foundations, which is why the country is attractive to investors,” Castilla said yesterday in an interview with Lima-based America Television. “We have to stay on this path. There is significant inequality that needs to be fought but we need foreign or domestic investment to keep flowing to keep the economy growing, create jobs and reduce poverty.”
Peru’s Lima General Index has fallen 15 percent this year compared with an 18 percent drop in Brazil’s Bovespa index and Colombia’s IGBC index.
Toledo, who allied himself with Humala during the election, said yesterday he withdrew representatives of his Peru Posible party from the cabinet, including Labor Minister Rudecindo Vega and Defense Minister Daniel Mora, in protest at the “militarization” of the government.
Strong Tactics
While Humala’s pro-business stance remains intact, he risks losing support from members of his party that have expressed support for the protesters, Bank of America said. Alvaro Vargas Llosa, the son of the novelist, said he expects Humala to keep using strong arm tactics if the protests resurface, even if that risks boosting the role of the military and weakening civilian institutions.
“Humala has been taken aback by the scale and strength of the protests, so he wants order,” Vargas Llosa, who is a senior fellow at the Independent Institute research organization in Washington, said in an e-mail. “He has come to the conclusion that only Valdes will give him that, and that people like Lerner, who may have good intentions, cannot handle the situation effectively through negotiations.”

The AFL-CIO, the biggest U.S. labor organization, said that hydraulic fracturing -- drilling to free natural gas and oil from shale rock -- is harmful to workers and should be monitored by the federal government.
The oil- and gas-extraction industry has a death rate more than seven times that for all U.S. workers, the group said in a letter to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Mine Safety and Health Administration. The U.S. should identify occupational concerns related to hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and require medical surveillance of workers and the monitoring of their exposure to materials used in the process, the AFL-CIO said.
“A strong effort by the federal safety and health agencies is needed to work with the industry and involved unions to ensure that these controls are properly implemented as employment in this industry sector rapidly grows,” according to the letter sent today.
Studies have shown high levels of exposure to crystalline silica in the fracking industry, putting workers at risk of silicosis, lung cancer, and other diseases, the AFL-CIO said in the letter, citing the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
Fracking involves injecting millions of gallons of water, chemicals and sand thousands of feet underground into shale formations. Environmental groups say the practice can pollute drinking water supplies.
The drilling technology has helped boost gas supplies, driving prices to $1.902 per million British thermal units on April 19, the lowest in a decade.

By Paul Magnusson.
"DEAD ON ARRIVAL." Also on Oct. 18, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Labor Secretary Elaine Chao plan some tough-talking testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on plans to stem further illegal immigration (For a look at the border situation, see BW Online, 10/10/05, "Whipsawed on the Border").
The ultimate goal: by recasting the Administration's moribund amnesty proposal of January, 2004, as a drive to reassert control over the southern border, the Administration might still be able to satisfy demands from the party's business wing for a continued supply of immigrant labor.
Amnesty opponents, on the other hand, still insist the change in the Administration approach must be more than than cosmetic. Yet, any proposal for even limited amnesty -- last tried unsuccessfully in 1986 -- "is dead on arrival," said Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) on Oct. 17.
CARROT AND STICK? In contrast to the Bush plan, a bill from Senators Cornyn and John Kyl (R-Ariz.), would require the 11 million illegal aliens in the U.S. to eventually return home and get in the back of the line to apply for legal U.S. residency. By contrast, the Bush plan, largely embodied in a business-friendly bill co-sponsored by Senators John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), would allow illegals to remain in the U.S. while applying for "guest worker" status and eventual citizenship.
The McCain-Kennedy legislation will be feted on Oct. 18 at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington at an event co-sponsored by Wal-Mart (WMT
), Tyson Foods (TSN
), and the National Association of Home Builders, among other fans of the guest-worker idea.
The Manhattan Institute, a business think tank, released a survey on Oct. 17 of 800 Republican likely voters that shows them applauding a combination of strict enforcement and partial amnesty. Sort of. The survey by GOP pollster Ed Goeas, says the hard-line, enforcement-first approach favored by the Senate and House GOP leadership is a loser with Republican voters, 72% of whom say they favor a balanced carrot-and-stick approach.
NO WELCOME MAT. But the poll also has some disquieting numbers for business groups pushing to document the undocumented: Half of those surveyed want even legal immigration cut or halted altogether, versus only 8% that want it increased.
In addition, by 56% to 39%, GOP voters favor a plan that would tighten border enforcement, penalize businesses that hire illegals, and deny eventual citizenship to those in the U.S. illegally. By 49% to 39%, they also favor sending formerly illegal guest workers home after five years.
Nevertheless, says Manhattan Institute's Senior Fellow Tamar Jacoby, "GOP voters won't feel the problem is solved until we do take into account immigrants who already here" by granting them guest-worker status.
MIDTERM CALCULATIONS. With the Bush Administration distracted by continuing war in Iraq, bird flu, the aftermath of the Gulf hurricanes, and special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's investigations of White House leaks, it's highly unlikely any immigration legislation will be ready for President Bush's signature this year. But Cornyn predicted that the Senate Judiciary Committee will begin writing legislation this year, and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) has promised to push for a bill heavy on tougher enforcement before the New Year.
As for the House, it's even more solidly pro-enforcement than the Senate, most observers say. That will make any reversion to the original White House plan a hard sell, especially with 2006, a midterm election year, just around the corner.

Employees are more motivated to work because of the promise of reward rather than the possibility of being punished for poor performance. This is the suggestion of new research published in The Accounting Review, which found people do not put in extra effort when faced with the prospect of penalties. Investigators from Michigan State University (MSU), the University of Georgia and Emory University discovered staff members involved in a bonus programme work harder than those who operate under a penalty system - such as those threatening pay reductions and demotions. Karen Sedatole, Associate Professor of Accounting in the Broad College of Business at MSU, noted: "Our findings show what carrots work better than sticks - in other words, workers respond better to bonuses than penalties." Entitled Sticks and Carrots: The Effect of Contract Frame on Effort in Incomplete Contracts, the report also suggested employees working in a rewarding environment tend to place greater trust in their supervisors.
Chartered Psychologist Dr Lea Brindle comments: This is not surprising in a society based on operant conditioning - i.e. rewarding success - rather than a punishment-based scheme.
"However, money is not always seen a motivator for most employees. Many years ago Professor Fred Hertzberg talked about hygiene factors which, if not present, will affect performance and motivators such as job satisfaction, achievement, recognition to name a few. Hygiene factors operate such that if one is worrying about paying the bills or trying to keep warm in a cold environment (and cool in a warm one) performance will inevitably suffer. These are not punishments per se but rather factors limiting one's potential to perform. | http://www.businessworld.ie/livenews.htm?a=2961533 | 2013-05-18T10:20:59 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

If you follow me on Instagram, then you know that I’ve been traveling all over the place! Today I thought I’d fill everyone in on where I’ve been, where I am now, where I’m headed to next, and WHY :)
While I’d like to think that the main things that define my life are my faith, my hubby, and my passion for my job, lately I’ve learned that what most dictates my life (and the path it takes) is the fact that I’m an Air Force spouse. I didn’t just marry my husband, the pilot, I quite literally married the military, and have had to learn how to plan my life around moving (4 times in 5 years!), deployments, training dates, long trips, etc. I realize it might sound like I’m complaining but I’m totally not – The Air Force and military life thus far has been SO good to us! We’ve had the opportunity to see a lot of new places, meet friends from all over the country (and world!), build our savings, and so much more.
While people might think it would be hard to move so much, I actually find myself getting a bit restless when we haven’t moved in a while. I’m always wondering what adventure will be next, and excited to make some more friends and memories :) Well, the time has come and no more wondering here: Jake and I found out a few weeks ago that our next stop is McChord AFB in Seattle, Washington! This was our first choice for a new base assignment and we couldn’t be happier. Not only do we have TONS of family and friends up in the Northwest, but from a web design standpoint, it is such an ideal place for me to be located for creative inspiration and networking. As of now,we will be heading to the Seattle area sometime in September – Can I get a “woo hoo”?!
Okay, now to switch subjects… At the beginning of the year (prior to knowing about this move), Jake and I made a wish list of all the places we want to go together and things we want to do in California while we live there. Granted, I’ve been to most of these places having grown up in Cali, but we’ve never been to these places together, or at least not for a long time. I figured we’d have at least a year to cross these trips off the list but now our time is running out fast! We’re now trying to schedule every weekend we can with something on our list :)
To further put a time crunch in completing our “list”, Jake found out in January that the AF would be sending him to Alabama for 8 weeks in March for Squadron Officer School (SOS). Since it’s a quick 2 month training, most military wives opt to not go with their husbands, but since I have a job that I can do from any location in the world – well, as long as there is WiFi – it seemed silly to force an unnecessary separation from eachother. So, we found a furnished, dog-friendly apartment in Montgomery and started preparation for the long haul driving across the country.
Before we left though we decided to take one more quick opportunity to cross an item off our list: To go to LA together for a weekend for the first time since we graduated college down there! It was a super fast trip, but we managed to squeeze in everything we wanted – a beach day at Huntington, a trip to Biola to reminisce on our college days, a visit to our very first apartment together, a double date night with good friends, and a fun afternoon in Downtown LA, which included shopping at the Grove, celebrity hunting, and dinner at SUR (my most recent “Bravo” obsession, haha… no shame people!).
We also took another weekend trip to visit family and friends, celebrate my baby brother’s 10th bday, and celebrate Jake’s 27th bday! I’m going to miss being only a few hours away from “home” when we move.
A few days later we packed up our bags and piled into the car (dogs and all!) to start our 5 day trek across the U.S. to Montgomery, AL. Thankfully we had gorgeous 70 degree weather the whole way!
Now we’re all settled into our apartment, both back to work, and have been having a good time meeting new friends out here. One thing we’ve quickly learned is that the Air Force is seriously a small world. Literally everyone we’ve met knows other AF people that we know, and surprisingly most of the other wives I’ve met so far are actually from California so we have a lot in common! We’ve already joined an awesome couple’s bible study on base and have made weekend plans for Florida, Nashville, Atlanta, and *hopefully* New Orleans! Add working every weekday, going to the gym, multiple daily trips to the dog park, and AF social events in there and whew! We’re definitely not going to be bored during these 8 weeks :)
And things don’t slow down after that! In May, Jake graduates from his Master’s program (YAY hubby!!!) and then we head back to CA for 3ish months where Jake will step back into a busy flying schedule, and I will soak up every minute of the amazing California sunshine and summertime with my friends and family. Jake and I will also be crossing off our “CA adventure list” every possible chance we get and will definitely be taking a few quick trips up to Washington for house hunting.
So what about work during all this “life” stuff? Well, I definitely have to take a second to say how thankful I am for my job, my incredible business partner, my awesome clients, and the ability to work seamlessly no matter where we move or travel to. Most of my life, I always thought people were being fake when they claimed to “love” their job – but holy cow, I totally get it now! I have found something that I am truly passionate about, and that without I would be a much lesser version of myself. Yes, work is going awesome, and our Hello Monday biz continues to grow and flourish! One thing for sure about working in a design career-field is that when I take the time to really live and experience life, it shows up in my work. Definitely be sure to check out our Hello Monday blog on a regular basis to see all our new, fun projects!
And now you are all up to date. In short: Always on the move; life is good :) | http://www.busythoughts.com/ | 2013-05-18T10:12:56 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Butler Opens Season With 1-0 Loss At Western Kentucky
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - Western Kentucky's Megan Meinke scored in the 45th minute to give the Butler women's soccer team a 1-0 loss in its season opener Friday afternoon. Meinke's game-winning goal, a strike from the left side just outside the box, came at 44:35.
WKU's Kellie Walker and Chelsea Grover were each credited with an assist on the play.
"When a team scores right before the half, it really changes the game," BU head coach Tari St. John said. "I give Western Kentucky a lot of credit. We couldn't break them down in the second half."
Each team had seven shots and five tries on goal. Senior Molly Kruger led the Bulldogs on offense with three shots (two on goal). The Bulldog attack did result in a 6-1 edge in corner kicks.
"We played unbelievable in the first 30 minutes, " St. John said. "I was pleased with our sense of effort. Unfortunately, we didn't put one away."
Junior Jessica Schein played all 90 minutes in goal for the Bulldogs, stopping four shots. The Hilltoppers halted all five of the Bulldogs' shots on goal.
Butler (0-1-0) returns to action Sunday, Aug. 23 against Purdue at the Butler Bowl at 1 p.m. | http://www.butlersports.com/sports/w-soccer/2009-10/releases/09wsoc-wku-recap82109 | 2013-05-18T10:12:13 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

S.E.C. Chairman Mary Schapiro, in an open meeting, said that proposed changes to advertising materials, naming, and risk disclosures are intended for reducing the possibility of investor confusion.
From Dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com:.
The S.E.C. said funds with a 2010 target date lost an average of 24 percent, in a range of about 9-41 percent during 2008.

This is absolutely a CPS issue - they failed. They failed, they failed, they FAILED to protect these children time and time again.
This is a horrible craft project just because of the waste of good books, but it’s been making the rounds on Pinterest and its clones, so it’s not like it’s Lauren Conrad’s fault someone told her to Martha Stewart this mess up. Brightside - if you do a good enough job faking a row of books, you’ve got a great spot to hide your stash. Maybe worth a try with books that aren’t worth reading anyway, like the works of Ayn Rand.
Ugh. I listened to parts of the songs. They’re bad. Painfully, brain-meltingly bad (and grossly shallow/misogynistic). And am I off in saying her look reminds me of the Teen Mom girls (or that “Real Housewife” look - average-looking but spray tanned / fake eyelashed / teeth whitened / extensions / etc)?
I use a disposable version called SoftCups. I usually only need one a day, so it’s considerably less waste and I don’t have to worry about public bathrooms (I’m considering getting a permanent cup and just using the SoftCups for outings). I usually have major crampage the first day with them (noticeably more intense), and getting them positioned properly can be kind of hard, but I love them and now my period doesn’t interrupt my life like it used to - and you can have mess-free sex! EVERYONE WINS!
This all day. Alcohol is legal, but it:
-wrecks my stomach
-causes weight gain
-turns me into a shitty version of myself (self-pitying, slutty, mean)
-is going to kill my Dad
-totally contributed to the deaths of numerous family members (not to mention divorces, holy alcoholism Batman!)
-makes me a danger to myself and others if I choose to drive Whereas weed is illegal, but it:
-makes my stomach not hurt (my stomach *always* hurts)
-makes me remember the things I love about people/the world
-makes me a calm, cheery version of myself
-makes me a super vigilant driver (every car is a cop!) Granted:
-uncontrolled munchies can make you gain weight
-some people get super paranoid
-My biggest issue with weed: I ignore mess. I’m a messy-tendencied person as it is, but I’ve noticed that now that I smoke multiple times a day (not just evenings), I will overlook the chaos of my surroundings. Not that I won’t clean or don’t realize there’s a mess - I just benignly file it away to the purgatory of “later” Also, I’m lazy. Weed provides the recreation without turning me into Mr. Hyde, though I’d say most of my use isn’t entirely recreational- I have severe stomach/anxiety problems, and marijuana is literally the only thing that helps. Granted, I don’t have health insurance (I’m employed full-time, but am saving/eliminating bills before I can afford it) and had inadequate medical care for the years I was still covered. Also- I’m not 100% hating on alcohol. I think occasionally drinking moderate amounts is totally okay (as long as you don’t get drunk and drive), it’s just not for everyone. | http://www.buzzfeed.com/sarahs13 | 2013-05-18T11:02:59 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Pointing to North Korea's recent test of a nuclear bomb and the launch of a ballistic missile, Rep. Steve Chabot (R-OH) writes that the "U.S. policy towards North Korea has failed."
Rep. Chabot (R-OH), chair of the House Foreign Affairs Subcmte. on Asia and the Pacific, is one of the participants at a Winter Symposium hosted by the Institute for Corean-American Studies. He is calling on new Secretary of State John Kerry and the new Defense Secretary to revise U.S. policies and confront what he calls “North Korea’s provocative actions.”
Other participants, including security specialists and professors of Asian Studies, examine the security challenges facing the Obama administration as it pursues a new military strategy, shifting the U.S. defense focus from Europe to the Pacific.

Picture this: You’re relaxing with friends on a balmy afternoon and enjoying the Blue Ridge Mountain views while you snack on a plate of cheese and charcuterie. You’re swirling your glass with pinky held high and feeling übersophisticated as you comment on the color and aroma of your…beer? Yep, that’s right. Such scenes are not the exclusive province of the Chardonnay and Cab Franc peddlers, say the folks at Blue Ridge Mountain Brewery and Hop Farm—a new brewery and tasting room slated to open on Critzer Shop Road in Afton this fall. Taylor Smack, South Street Brewery’s nationally decorated brew master for the last six years, has left that establishment to launch the “farm brewery” along with his wife, Mandi Smack, and friend Matt Nucci. Smack says Charlottesville is a savvy beer drinking area and is ready for an experience that’s a little more cerebral—“a little more touch and feel than walking into a brew pub and ordering a plate of nachos.”
To create an atmosphere more conducive to sipping a crafted beverage than pounding a brewski, Blue Mountain will offer indoor bistro seating by a fireplace of local river rock and alfresco munching (on light fare such as cheese, meats and gourmet sandwiches) on a patio overlooking the mountains and the hops growing on the brewery’s four acres. As for the main attraction, a tasting bar will offer samplings of six different styles of brew from a pale ale to a lager to “big, high alcohol style” beers, says Smack. There also will be seasonal selections including a strawberry wheat varietal to take advantage of the strawberry crops growing nearby. All will be served in their appropriately shaped glass to emphasize their particular flavors and colors. Did you think only winos were glass snobs? And all the selections will be brewed with the farm’s own hops, cultivated yeast and Shenandoah Valley-bred water, meaning the brewery will have a claim to “agricultural authenticity,” says Smack.
Patrons will be able to tour the state of the art brewery, which at four times the size of South Street’s facility, will produce up to 3,500 barrels a year (that’s about 7,000 kegs) expected to be available by six-pack at local stores and on tap at local restaurants. Blue Mountain plans to open its doors in time for Octoberfest. To that Restaurantarama says Prost!
Wunder-ful
In the same spirit of less pounding and more sipping, the Ix project folks (the gang refurbishing the old Frank Ix and Sons factory building Downtown) say a German-style biergarten will be the first restaurant to open in the Piazza planned for the center of the development. Inspired by the success of last summer’s Wunderkammer carnival at the Ix ruins? Not exactly, this place would be PG-rated—a “family place” says Katrin Naess, a native of Bavaria (as is Ix developer Ludwig Kuttner) who is consulting with the Ix project. She says Charlottesville’s Blue Ridge Mountains remind her of pre-Alps Bavaria, and she’s hoping to bring a more Bavarian sensibility to local imbibing—to create a culture “where you don’t get drunk, but sit and meet with your friends and family.” Naess says the place would feature authentic German-style food incorporating local ingredients and locally-brewed German style beers. She’s already talking with the Blue Mountain folks about providing the brewing. But don’t grab your lederhosen just yet—Naess says the biergarten is at least two years off.
In other beer news, Starr Hill Brewery’s planned tasting room at the old ConAgra building in Crozet, which we told you about last year, is getting a lot of other media buzz as the brewery gets ready to open the doors for tours mid-summer or early fall, and rumor has it yet another brewery/brew pub may be coming to the Afton/Crozet area—more on that later. Look out Fort Collins, Colorado—Central Virginia may be fast becoming the new center of the beer-drinking universe. Monticello beer trail, anyone?

Dia de los muertos (Day of the Dead) is a modern holiday with pre-Hispanic and Catholic influences. Day of the Dead participants pay homage to the dead and indulge in festive celebrations of life and its aftermath.
Traditionally, altars are built commemorating people, animals or events of significance.
Altars include flowers, photos, toys, mementos, letters, candles and offerings of food and alcohol. This is done to entice the dead and assure their souls actually return to take part in the remembrance.
Dress in your favorite Day of the Dead attire!
Bring photos, mementos, or favorite foods of your loved ones who have passed to
add to our altar.

‘The Ultimate Fighter: Team Jones vs. Team Sonnen Finale’ Aftermath – A Season Worth Watching
Photo Courtesy of Getty Images.
Every UFC main event has to be about something, and when there aren’t any titles on the line, things tend to get pretty creative. Leading up to the main event of the TUF 17 Finale, the talk surrounding the bout focused on the friendship between competitors Urijah Faber and Scott Jorgensen and how it may affect the bout. Whether the two were actually the close friends that the media made them out to be was completely irrelevant; which is good, because Jorgensen revealed during fight week that they weren’t.
What we were left with was a bout between the number two and number seven ranked bantamweights that played out as expected. This isn’t to say that the fight wasn’t entertaining (it was), but Jorgensen was outgunned early and often by Faber before “The California Kid” sank in the fight ending rear-naked choke in the fourth round. It was closer than the gambling odds indicated it would be, but not exactly a close fight, and though Jorgensen managed to mount some offense of his own, he never appeared to be any real threat to Faber.
The bantamweight division is very top-heavy, which perhaps more than anything explains why Urijah Faber is seemingly always one fight away from a title shot. The gap between the top five guys and the rest of the division is wider than most fans would care to acknowledge, and it showed last night. Still, I’d rather watch Urijah Faber fight Michael McDonald than watch him get crammed into yet another title fight. I doubt I’m in the minority here – at least among hardcore fans.Read More ADD COMMENTS (18) DIGG THIS | http://www.cagepotato.com/tag/bubba-mcdaniel/ | 2013-05-18T11:03:23 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Jon Fitch Was Too Expensive For the UFC, and Bellator Doesn’t Want Him Either [SAD]
(Fitch finds himself on the wrong end of a Fitch’ing against Demian Maia at UFC 156. Photo via Getty Images)
In the wake of Jon Fitch‘s surprise firing during the Great UFC Bloodletting of February 2013, even die-hard Fitch-haters criticized the move. As the general argument goes, how the hell are you going to cut a fighter who’s one of the ten greatest welterweights in the world by your own rankings, and whose last victory over Erick Silva was a Fight of the Night performance that proved he still has greatness left in him?
UFC president Dana White explained the decision to media yesterday at the UFC 157 press-conference in Anaheim, calling Fitch “super f—ing expensive,” then laying out exactly why he’s not worth the money:
“Jon Fitch was ranked number nine, OK, however you want to look at that, he’s ranked number nine, whether it’s right or wrong or the rankings are bullshit or whatever. Ranked number nine right now. Now, this isn’t a case where Jon Fitch was ranked No. 9, No. 7, No. 6, No. 4, No. 2 and then we cut him. He was ranked No. 1, fought for the title and then he was ranked No. 2. He was ranked No. 3, 6, 7, and now he’s 9. That’s called the downside of your career. He’s on the downside…
“He had a draw, then a loss, right, then a win, then a loss. It’s good, he got more money. He got Fight of the Night because it takes two guys to do that. Right? If Erick Silva’s wrestling wasn’t right there, that wouldn’t have been Fight of the Night. At the end of the day, when you really break it down, who did Erick Silva beat? This was Erick Silva’s first real big fight and big test. And it was a damn good fight. That’s called the downside. He’s not buzzsawing through guys, he’s not doing a [Johny] Hendricks. So it’s not like Jon Fitch was on this incredible fucking winning streak and ‘the greatest fucking welterweight in the history of the world and a fucking Hall of Famer. The guy’s never won a fucking title in his life.”
In other words, Fitch is #9 with a down-arrow, and Erick Silva was never that accomplished to begin with, though Silva nevertheless deserves all the credit for how good that fight was. [*I promise this is not a Scanners gif*] But let’s get back to the more important issue: That Jon Fitch, who makes $66,000 to show, is “super fucking expensive.” Please take a moment to realize what an absolute joke your favorite sport is.

According. Since election day is 2 months away and WWE is in full PG mode, nude fetish photos (some of which had a lesbian theme) of a newly hired WWE Diva (TM) are an issue.
Mickie James and Candice Michelle had both done foot fetish pornography, but it wasn't an issue. Well, not in the same way. Batista once printed out James' photos and wallpapered the locker room with them. Sexual harassment is hilarious because it's a different world and you don't understand.

Imagine you were opening a school and could choose any 5 instructors to teach BJJ there, who would you choose and why?
Basically this is who do you think are the 5 best instructors in BJJ, not 5 best competitors remember!
I would choose;
1- Rickson, just the things i've heard about how he can break down your game an completely shut it down an because of his technically perfect but basic game.
2- Romero 'Jacare' Cavalcanti- founder of Alliance and teacher of fabio gurgel, Cobrinha among many others.
3- Carlos Gracie Jr- founder of Gracie Barra, the most successful BJJ school in the world arguably. The legendary names that he has trained to black belt is endless.
Now I am struggling here, it is very hard to put it down just to 5.

. Red and Blue would fade away into purple as we laid down our individualism in pursuit of “the greater good.” Believing a new day had dawned on American politics, the awestruck responded to one of the greatest marketing ruses in American history with a hearty: “Dude, this whole hope and change thing is definitely the way to go.”
Now let’s get real. Decision after reversed decision like the administration’s recent choice to ditch its (supposed) “core values” in support of the pro-Obama Super PAC, “Priorities USA Action” pretty much betrays everything that President Obama said he stood for. Liberals think this fundamental change of position is acceptable because “all is fair in love and war” — and Chicago politics.
To be fair, the GOP pretty much owns the whole Super PAC concept and the morality of Super PACs within the campaign fundraising system is another issue for another day. The matter at hand (literally) is that every time President Obama decides to point a finger at his opponents, there are three fingers pointing back in his direction.
To be clear, Obama was against Super PACs before he was for them, just like he was for public funding of campaigns before he was against it. In June 2008, Obama detached himself from his own words (and hoped we would as well) when he did an about-face regarding his campaign finance stance. He gave us a squeaky-clean window with which to peer through when, in a video message, he expressed his condolences for the necessity to change his position. Promising it was “not an easy decision” to make because he still supported “a robust system of public financing of elections,” Obama claimed it was a decision driven by necessity. The public financing of presidential elections as it exists today is broken,” Obama complained, “and we face opponents who’ve become masters at gaming this broken system.”
After much bloviating, Obama stepped down from his soapbox and became part of what he described as the “broken system” when he opted out of public campaign financing — and the naïve blindly followed in lockstep — because that is how Chicago rolls.
Everyone changes his or her mind on occasion, and it is acceptable for a politician’s stance on an issue to evolve over a period of years. It is quite another thing for one’s viewpoint to change on a dime for political convenience. To gain an understanding as to what this administration actually stands for, all one needs to do is figure out what it previously stood against.
During his 2010 State of the Union speech, Obama defiantly smacked-down the Supreme Court for its Citizen’s United v. Federal Elections Commission decision because it opened the “floodgates for special interests.” Obama said, “I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests.”
In light of its newfound adulation of Super PACs, in fairness, Obama’s statement should be revised: “I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests –unless you are a Democrat.”
This stark volte-face does not bode well for an administration which once promised to be different, superior –even transformational. It is dizzying to listen to the cacophony of disjointed explanations as to the administration’s recent move to the Super PAC “Dark Side.” Both senior campaign advisor David Axelrod and Obama for America campaign manager Jim Messina implied it was acceptable to chuck core values and make this logic-defying and ethics-denying decision because the administration could not “afford to play by two sets of rules” meaning theirs and ours — and swapped them for something a bit more user-friendly, namely, “Ours and Ours.”

Cakewalk Special: Baltimore Picks from B More Sweet

Reader Comments (15)
Having lived outside of Baltimore for 5 years I spent many a day sampling the tasty treats from these amazing places. I'm so glad that you showed the rest of the world that there is more to Bmore than the "Wire".
Though I have to admit my fav is Patisserie Poupon - Their French Macaroons are not to be missed.
I was just listening about Edgar Allen Poe this morning on NPR. Whenever I think about Baltimore I always think about the movie "Sleepless in Seattle"
Yay, now even more reason to drive down to Baltimore! Hooorraaayy!
Thanks BMORESWEET! You rock!
One thing I would have to add as a former Baltimore-area resident is A.Kirchmyr. Located at 9630 Deereco Rd in Timonium, they make decadent European chocolates made in the old way - but, beware, they contain enough alcohol to be noticeable so these are for adults only. :)
Wow! Nice blog! So many delicious goodies! If I do go to the US someday, I'm sure gonna have a lookout for some of these places! On another note, the pictures themselves are awesome baking inspirations! I'm adding you to my reader!
Naida: Ha! I didn't even know "The Wire" was baltimore. But We're in it for the bakeries! :-)
Veron: ah yes, the "other" city in that movie. I just walked by that houseboat this morning (I live by it!)
CL: Ha! Roadtrip!
Megbd: Fantastic! That sounds delicious!
Lovlie: Thanks! Let us know where we should go in your neck of the woods too!
ok, now I'm wondering how much a plane ticket to baltimore would cost. Yum to all of that!
A mobile bakery truck!? Where can i buy one of those? Brilliant!
I totally want my own cupcake truck.
How cool is that!
I am officially SWOONING over those candies.
I use to date a guy whose mom would send him back to Denver with Rheb's chocolates whenever he would go home to visit...the dark chocolates were some of the best I have ever eaten - and now I think I am going to have to order some before summer hits!
I grew up in Maryland, and this post is making me wax a little nostalgic...sniff.... thanks again for another terrific post!
I wish I was in Baltimore right now, those cakes are amazing!!! I would be over the moon if I had my own cake truck!!
Nice to be catching upon your posts from my absence due to illness.
Rock on Baltimore......
Rosie x
Wow, for just a fraction of that at my disposal, but then again having no will power, it would be a bad thing.
Great post, love the idea of a renegade baker.
ok, totally random, but love Perfect Cupcakes's logo! (ok, sorry if my punctuation is off...i can never get those apostrophes right -- yep, i am a perfect candidate for the apostrophe catastrophe blog!) | http://www.cakespy.com/blog/2009/1/18/cakewalk-special-baltimore-picks-from-b-more-sweet.html | 2013-05-18T10:21:05 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Thanks to this site I now associate the word "sperm" with the word "cake", but the third pic conjured up visions of albino earthworms struggling to inflate party balloons.
WTH with that last one? It looks like twin fetus ghosts! I'm surprised it doesn't say "sorry about your double miscarriage in blue" or "good luck with your D&C with stars around it."
@Sharyn: I'm just trying not to get ina pickle...and...spp...
@lisadh, Norine, TLC, Jodee in WA, and millbrit: thank you...
@drgns4vr: very good! (I've bean at it for years and I never turnip an opportunity for a pun....)
@Degera: thanks...if you're ever in western Illinois, I'll take you up on that -- monitor caveat noted!
Jen, you really do an Almond Joy binge proud with this post! Simply awesome. P.S. If we ever meet in any back alley icing parlors then we must carefully avoid acknowledging each other and never.speak.of.it.
Yay, Sharyn, you finally picked a song I already hate (actually, a song by a band I hate and so the song by association). See below for your next challenger, should you decide to accept it (hums "Mission Impossible" theme song)
mel, dearest, we are pushing toward leaving the realm of "non-stalky" kind of love. le sigh I was drawn in like a carrot to a grater, lemon to a zester and potato to a slicer.
your tales have such a peel.
Merry, that is one of my very favorite novelty songs ever and now I double dog dare Sharyn to find a post worthy of the "Streak" treatment!!
I think that it's very irresponsible of you to encourage naive, hopeful people to wander back alleys in search of icing parlours.
We could be in mortal danger from alien-fetus creatures lurking in unsuspecting places.
I can never unsee that last cake... Ever. Never, ever. Never, ever, ever, ever... O.O
Just when I think that cakes can't get any "wreckier..."
Sharyn, you are awesome!
Barbara Anne -- That is a freakin' brilliant idea! Darn, I was going to clean my house this weekend, but now I have a challenge...
omg!!! i finally figured out what the fetus cake says!! its supposed to say happy birthday!!!
@KarateLady: hahahha....thanks....
@Barbara Anne: you make me smile and laugh....thank you....I'm glad you find my tales have a peel..but now I'll make like a banana and split.....
Sharyn, I'm so glad I could be of help. Housework is bad for your health. I saw it on the web so you know it's true.
mel, orange you glad I didn't add another pun? ;)
Leave off, or I'll be rooted to the spot anticipating the next pun to turnip.
The the fetus cake read "Pizzrthday?" I realize that isn't the scariest thing on that cake...but...pizzrthday? Really?
Jen, have I told you that the first thing I did upon picking up "Wreck The Halls" was to peel off the sticker hiding my very favorite part of the book? Sometimes it's hard to put into words how much I adore you, my favorite prefessional blogger.
Happy Winchester Wednesday, BTW. I might need cake tonight to muffle my excited screaming. | http://www.cakewrecks.com/home/2012/11/2/takes-direction-well.html?currentPage=2 | 2013-05-18T10:31:56 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Sunday Sweets: Back To School
Alright class, settle down.
Take your seat, sharpen those No. 2's and use your inside voice, because we're going back to school!
I hope you are prepared with all the necessary school supplies you'll need this year:
paper, pencils, rulers, notebooks...
...and one ridiculously realistic looking chalkboard eraser made of fondant.
All set? Let's continue...
First, let's go over some classroom rules.
#1. I expect homework to be turned in promptly every morning.
And sweet little notes like this will not earn you extra credit.
(Just kidding, they totally will.)
Rule #2. No ipods or cellphones will be tolerated in class.
By Erin Salerno
Keep them in your backpacks or I will have to confiscate them. Also, do not bring makeup to school, or I will borrow, er, confiscate that as well.
Rule #3. Keeping pets in lockers is not allowed.
By Charm City Cakes, photo found here
However, you are allowed to keep sexy shoes and a chandelier in your locker, should you so desire. Just know that I will think you both awesome and strange if you do.
(Can we pause for a moment to appreciate the fact that this thing looks to be life-size and is MADE OUT OF CAKE?! I give it an A+!)
Moving on, I try not to assign seats unless absolutely necessary...
By It's All About the Cake
...or if I feel like using these cute little crayon name-tags. So what if you're in high school, Erica? The point is they're totes adorbs.
And speaking of adorable, how cute is this rainbow spilling out of a paint-can cake?
By Arte de Ka
This is why we need arts in schools, people!
Which reminds me, there have been several budget cutbacks this year, so you are now required to provide your own art supplies.
(I love that the baker was committed to making such a uniform set of markers and pencils, whereas I would have probably taken the easy way out and just painted some stick candy. Or the easier way out: real markers. Or the easiest way out: cookies.)
And students, it's a good idea to start preparing now for all those standardized tests, so make sure you have a top-of-the-line calculator.
By Creative Cakes by Julie
Or, at the very least, one that doesn't run on solar power.
(None of this looks like cake! NONE of it! Incredible.)
Well, that's the bell!
So go line up at the (insanely cute VeggieTales) bus, and I'll see you all bright and early tomorrow!
Photo by Katie Whitcomb, but the baker isn't listed. Anyone know?
And don't forget, homework is due in the morning! No excuses! I mean it!
Yep, I think this is going to be a great year.
Have a Sweet to nominate? Then send it to Sunday Sweets [at] Cake Wrecks [dot] com!

Wow!
That calculator cake - are you *sure* that's cake?
Amazing work all round, A* for effort, A* for presentation
I absolutely LOVE the Veggie Tales bus! And I agree with your statement that none of this looks like cake! Amazing sweets!
I don't ever want to miss an opportunity for cake, so I'm going to have to start taking a bite out of every calculator I see, just in case.
A+ on the post -- obviously, you were going for extra credit!
Jen, I love you so very much.
But if you use the phrase "totes adorbs" again, I will vomit, take a picture of it, and send it to you. (I realize you've seen the nastiest cakes on the planet so this isn't much of a threat. More of annoyed begging.)
OMG some of the cutest cakes i've ever seen :D
on the art supplies kit, I love the spelling of her name: Viktorija.
did anyone else notice the measuring tape on the craon name-tags cake? all those even little marks would be a dang nightmare to make!!
I also feel sorry for th e little doggie who wishes he were eating that piece of paper instead. (Ours could chew an ATM receipt faster than a shredder.)
As a 6th grade teacher, I love these cakes (though a few are a bit over the top on the cute factor- I stopped teaching elementary school because I could not handle the shirts embroidered with apples and crayons). In regard to the locker cake: I was baffled this year when my new students came to set up their lockers. Apparently this no longer simply means putting a locker shelf in and adding a few magnets. It now includes covering the inside of the locker with wallpaper (ahem...wrapping paper), putting a rug in at the bottom, and adorning it with "drapes" and working chandeliers. As long as there are not moldy sandwiches in the bottom, I'll take it (though if anyone keeps a pig in their locker we will have to talk).
@Amber, when I brought my daughter to Staples to get school supplies, we saw the rugs and chandeliers for sale. I was quite proud that she thought they were too silly for school.
I love these cakes! I don't know how someone could possibly make cake look so much like a calculator! Amazing! I think the art one is my favorite though.
I want the apple with the worm in it from the first cake!
A very refreshing break for my eyeballs after Friday's horrors.
Can someone please translate Viktorija's lovely cake? My best guess at the language is Polish.
wow awesome cakes as usual and adorable commentary as well. I have to say, this weeks post couldn't be more appropriate! My daughter starts school tomorrow.... as a teacher!!! So excited and proud of her! She is teaching 3rd grade.. 16 students : )
Rugs? chandeliers?
Criminy - what are they giving these kids for lockers nowadays -- motor homes?
I barely had room for actual books and a coat -- no way I would have had room for all that other junk!
I really don't think I could cut into the doggy :( beautiful but creepy.
@Natalie, Lindsey wrote this post-- not Jen. Just wanted to set the record straight. How could I tell? By looking at the top of the comments section.
Love candy Veggies on the bus!
Sundays rock - I always "Oooh!" and "Aaaah!" all the way through! I need a thesaurus to come up with new superlatives. A book made of cake - I can eat my words!
All of the cakes are amazing. Are they all cake? Wow I'm really impressed. I'm lucky if I can just use a cake mix and not burn the cake.
Wow! What incredible cakes -- almost made me want to go back to school....but definitely made me want cake! Good work Lindsey! (Boy -- things have sure changed since I went to school -- we had the back of a shovel and a piece of coal...) (Also...hmmmm...a cake featuring a "Wisconsin" keyholder...am I detecting a Sharyn influence here...?)
We're unschoolers, and during our second year of unschooling, my then 9-year-old said he wanted to go back to school. Okayyyy. {Breathe} Did I do something wrong? I asked him why he wanted to go back, thinking, if we can meet that need at home, he won't need to go back. Ends up he wanted a Spiderman backpack. We were in the midst of back-to-school advertising, and he thought, since he wasn't going back to school, he couldn't have any of that stuff. Immediately got him the backpack, and all was well.
Beautiful works of art -- just FYI, the paint can creation by Arte de Ka isn't actually cake, I believe it's actually cold porcelain, if I remember correctly. Still a great job, though!
I was reading through the post and almost automatically the song from the Target commercials popped into my head. Pencils notebooks binder..... and also I have a chandelier and rug and wallpaper in my locker.
Oh dear, that last cake. :) Reminds me of our poodle - he'd probably rather eat my game systems than any paper I have laying around!
My 12YO son would love that art set (not in pink, of course)! I have until March to make that happen.
Amber's post was interesting. I didn't know kids went all out decorating their lockers these days. When I was a kid, it was just magazine cutouts of our favorite hot actor, rock band, or the Sololfex man. Nearly every girl's locker at my school was decorated with the Soloflex man! In fact, a teacher actually teased me one day because my locker did not have an ad of the Soloflex man in it (I didn't tell him he was adorning my wall at home!)
The last cake is insanely cute, but just as I couldn't dismember a sleeping baby cake, I don't think I could butcher an adorable puppy cake. There's something too unsettling about it.
@Classic Steve It's Serbian and means "Happy start of school, Viktorija!" or " Happy departure to school, Viktorija!" or something like that
@Barbara Anne The name Viktorija with that spelling is quite common in Serbia (and in Croatia)
Excellent for... a supplies party.
Thanks for the shout out for my son's Veggie Bus.. The cake artist was Little Par-Teas
WOAH THAT LOCKER.
Also, Veggietales! :D
I wish I'd gotten a cool cake like this heading back to school.
Yay! Thank you for featuring my calculator cake! :) I made that particular cake for my sister-in-law, and I can assure you every part is edible! :)
These are all wonderful. However, I don't think I could bring myself to eat the last one. I'd be afraid it would start whining.
"When Teacher's Dream" was a cake featured in a cake auction that I was part of... When I find the pictures, I will share all of them with you.
Wow! Thanks so much for featuring my stack of books cake! I was floored to see it here today. I made the cake for a teacher's fundraiser.
The Charm City one was actually on one of the Ace of Cakes episodes, and if I remember correctly, had an accident mid-transport, so it's doubly amazing it ended up still looking awesome!
@CW guest that's a beautiful spelling I've never seen before. sometimes I think the "English" language throws away the pretty ideas and keeps the utilitarian ones. (facepalm)
These are beautiful!! Plus, an A+ job, Lindsey!! [see what I did there?]
There are times when I'm so thankful I have boys and back-to-school is one of them. My son had to wait 5+ minutes to be able to get into his locker because the girl in the one next to his was putting up the wall/wrapping paper, et al. Really??!! Do you spend that much time at your locker that you need to decorate it?!
Whew! Okay....rant over. I'm better now.
Come on, I can't believe I'm the only one who thought that puppy's foot was something else at first glance.
LOVE *ALL* THESE CAKES!!! They are all a teacher's dream. Thanks for being awesome all the time! Cake Wrecks gets an A+! :)
Arte da Ka's "cakes" while amazing and beautiful, are not actually cake. None of her work is edible. Still absolutely amazing though!!
Thanks for including another one of my cakes - I am so flattered! I made it for a teacher's retirement party so she is definitely not worried about getting up at dawn this school year - ha ha! The eraser was my favorite part of that cake too!
Props to Creative Cakes' Julie for that calculator...although next time I'd like to see someone model a high-end model, like a TI Nspire CX.
(Yes, I'm a math nerd, and no, I don't own one...yet.) | http://www.cakewrecks.com/home/2012/9/9/sunday-sweets-back-to-school.html | 2013-05-18T10:22:01 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

GLENWOOD — The charges laid against David Stephan and his wife accusing them of failing to properly care for their ailing son, a year after the boy’s death, are still incomprehensible to the southern Alberta couple.
RAYMOND — David Stephan is still coming to terms over being charged with failing to provide the necessities of life a year after his 19-month-old son died, but is crediting his large family and the community for rallying around him. “Fortunately we do have a lot of support,” he said Thursday, his voice strained. “I don’t know what we’d be doing without it.” | http://www.calgaryherald.com/health/topic.html?t=Person&q=David+Stephan | 2013-05-18T10:31:55 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
The bill sponsored by Rep. Matt Ramsey, a Peachtree City Republican, passed by a vote of 113-56.
Ramsey said the most important section of the bill is one that requires employers to use a federal database called E-Verify to check the immigration status of new hires.
Lawmakers who spoke in support of the bill said it is necessary because the federal government has failed to enforce the nation's immigration bill.
Many who spoke against it argued that immigration should be left to the federal government and raised concerns that the bill could harm the state's economy and reputation.
The legislation now moves on to the Senate, where a similar bill passed out of committee Wednesday. | http://www.calhountimes.com/view/full_story/12150202/article-Ga--House-votes-to-pass-immigration-bill- | 2013-05-18T10:22:35 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
More sewer smoke tests being conducted in city
Wednesday, October 27, 2010
The City of California and Bartlett and West Engineers will be conducting smoke tests in the northwest part of California on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 28 and 29.
Door hangers are being left at the residences in the area to be tested.
The smoke is whitish to gray in color, non-toxic, and does not stain. It has no odor and does not create any fire hazard.
It should not be seen inside any of the structures in the area of the test unless there is a problem with the plumbing or if the drain traps are dry.
Residents are cautioned that if the test smoke enters the home, there is a good chance sewer gases are entering the home, too.
The area being tested is in the part of town west of Highway 87 and Route O north of Business 50.
The door hangers advise, "If anyone in the home or business has respiratory problems and is immobile, please notify us as 573-634-3181."

Defensive Coordinator Bob Gregory Gone From Cal
Stunner! Defensive Coordinator Bob Gregory has departed from Cal for Boise State:." "I am grateful to coach Tedford for the tremendous experience I had at Cal," said Gregory.

Despite the ugliness of segregation all around us, some people within the neighborhoods still worked cooperatively to ensure their own self-sufficiency. I clearly believe the entrepreneurial and cooperative spirit that is an integral part of the African American legacy.
Bring back Black businesses
Remember while growing up, you could get everything you needed in your neighborhood? The corner store and dry cleaners were Black owned and not one other ethnic proprietor was around.
I even grew up with one store owner named Ed, a person of the other color who stayed upstairs over the store he owned. He did not come in the area make the money and drive off to a rich suburb, living off our money.
Every area had a Mr. James who had a popular corner store or Woody’s in the community. It was expected I think. We even had Lawson’s where we went to get most of the deli items needed.
Lawson Milk Company had the very best orange juice jingle, showing two blurry eyed truck drivers fighting the rain and snow through the night to deliver their fresh squeezed orange juice to greater Cleveland for us to enjoy. Roll on Big O was the jingle.
As a young man, my mother would send me to Hank’s, the neighborhood barber, who talked more trash then any barber I have ran across (excluding the barbers in Carl’s on Lee Rd.).
Let’s just take time to shout out some of those Black owners who made it possible for a community to thrive. Kings Mens, The Fly Shop, DK Marshalls, Boot n Shoe, Rhett’s, Browns Tire Shop, and one of my favorite’s West Fish Market in the Lee Harvard Plaza.
While JW Wills and E.F Boyd and Son’s were two of the largest funeral homes, I found out Pernel Jones was down on Cedar taking care of people also.
Now, I am wondering what happen to all these business?
Was it we didn’t support them? Did they close due to us spending our dollars in other ethnic neighborhoods? The problem is that, if we don’t make a conscientious effort to support Black owned and independent businesses in our community, they are not going to make it and will most likely be replaced by a chain.
Now, if you don’t have that problem and you spend all your dollars or most of your dollars with Black businesses, you are helping them keep the doors open. We as Blacks don’t give each other the chance to succeed. Most believe we cannot deliver good customer service based on a bad experience with a Black business so some people immediately write them off.
It is safe to stick with the “tried and true” method by taking our service to Asians, Whites or Indians. What they don’t realize is, if we own majority of these same businesses, our community will prosper and give children and adults the chance to see with their own two eyes that we can have our own too which in turn give Blacks the confidence to become more ambitious and determined to succeed in anything.
I understand there are a lot of successful Black businesses in Black communities but not in the majority. Other factors include lack of resources and planning. Persistence is a downfall too but the biggest issue is Black consumers subconsciously believe the business won’t go far.
The times have changed and, with the violence in our neighborhoods, some Black owned corner stores have been targeted by crime from other Blacks. It’s funny how I could see a Black owned store on one corner, an Asian store on the other, and the Blacks spray paint bad words and destroy the Black owned store and never touch the Asian one.
Every area had their own little Mecca… East 105th was known as The Gold Coast… more businesses were up and down this street as well as churches. Slowly over the years, they closed and disappeared from site.
Most of those businesses where great places for people to patronize at the time. Do you have any idea how many quarters you need to put in washing machines to make a profit? The price of liquor and cigarettes are based on high taxes.
I am old enough to remember pulling in a gas station and having an attendant check your oil, pump your gas, and clean your windshields. These position even created jobs for Blacks in the community.
We didn’t have many options when I was growing up. You either bought from merchants in your neighborhood or you didn’t get what you needed. I believe segregation hurt us because, in the 70’s, we began moving out of all Black neighborhoods and into other ones for many reasons. Over the years, we have even stopped going to historically Black colleges and universities in mass, because we now could.
I do not fault parents for trying to send their children to a better school system but it hurt. Remember back in the day how pretty and nice East Cleveland used to be? Over the years, vacant houses and crime gave the area a bad name.
Despite the ugliness of segregation all around us, some people within the neighborhoods still worked cooperatively to ensure their own self-sufficiency. I clearly believe the entrepreneurial and cooperative spirit that is an integral part of the African American legacy.

- Being a Christian means everyone is going to love me.
- If people reproach me, I can come up with an answer for them on my own.

- It’s okay to only obey most of the time, or when I feel like it.
- I can be saved and just stop obeying the Lord or following after Him.

Good looking and well fitting shirt Good looking and well fitting shirt. I am between medium and large depending how it is styled / cut. Since this shirt is a slim fit I purchased a large and that was the correct choice. April 14, 2013
Great fitting shirt I'm 6'2" and 200lbs. I'm not a small guy, but I'm not big either. The extra large is a perfect fit. It looks like I had it tailored. I now have this shirt in 4 colors. February 13, 2013
Great Polo Great polo fits great, nice quality material Looks nice January 26, 2013
Love the Body Fit Hands down, the best polo shirt I've ever owned. I have a slim build and often have problems finding polo shirts that fit well. These are form-fitting in all the right places while still remaining comfortable. I think these would also look great on bigger builds. If you're sick of polo shirts with excess fabric, these are for you.

Funky Shoulders I had high hopes for this product, but I as unfortunately a little disappointed. Although the shirt arrived in a plastic bag, somehow it still managed to have those little bumps that you get when a shirt is hung in the closet on a hanger for too long. I've tried washing it, but the little humps remain. Perhaps it is a defect in the design or material? December 4, 2012

A former RAF pilot instructor met 150 air enthusiasts at Duxford Airfield to raise awareness about a diabetes charity.
Douglas Cairns has lived with Type 1 diabetes since 1989 and recently set a new national formation speed record after leading a flight with five other pilots with diabetes.
Flying with Diabetes Day took place on October 20, and featured talks from record-setting pilots with diabetes plus marathon runner Colin Roland.
Douglas said: “Seeing people asking questions at the exhibitor stands, and people’s positive reactions to the talks were the high points for me.”

Three radio students at Cambridge Regional College have been putting their talents to good use helping a pioneering education and health charity spread its message.
Rebekha Brighty, Melissa Graves and Charlotte-Rose Swift, who are all doing the BTEC Level 3 Creative Media Production course in Radio Broadcasting at CRC, worked with the Mountain Trust, a Cambridge-based charity which provides free education and health for people in Nepal, to produce the audio packages on health, education and volunteering.
The Mountain Trust sponsors Nepali students through school, college and university, funds schools and orphanages and provides health care, but relies heavily on volunteers and donations. £5 a month can fund a year in education for a child in Nepal.
Charles Malcolm-Brown, chairman of the Mountain Trust, said: “[The students] were clearly very committed to the idea of the Mountain Trust and they did some very valuable work for us. We have put the speech packages out on the website and will be sending them individually to people to help promote our work.”
Fellow media students also held a day of fundraising to support the cause, and raised £700 through jewellery sales and sponsored activities.
CRC lecturer Lina Anagnostou said the students “did a highly professional job.”
She said: “The Mountain Trust was very impressed with their work. We were also delighted to be able to organise such a successful fundraising day and donate a much-needed £700 to the Trust.
“The live brief provided an excellent opportunity for them to work with real clients and organisations, which will further enhance their employability skills and work portfolio.”

Since Guy Lafleur’s heyday, Habs fans have been starved for that type of electrifying player that gives us a rush every time he touches the puck — until P.K. Subban came along. His go-for-broke style and infectious enthusiasm for the game adds to what endears him to fans.
Unfortunately, in the past couple of years, every so often the team tried to rein him in, even benched him or had him in the press box for a few games if he made a mistake. Now, to add insult to injury, with their first regular season game this week, management evidently does not see the urgency of signing him.
Post lockout, the Canadiens owe their rabidly loyal fans big-time, and to not be pulling out all the stops to secure P.K.’s long-term future in Montreal is incomprehensible. With a shortened season, the Canadiens management should be bending over backward to get it done.
Otherwise, the most exciting skater to don the Canadiens uniform in 30 years will be alienated and eventually end up somewhere else, marking another management blunder in a franchise that desperately needs to rekindle some of the past glory in a year marking the 20th anniversary since our last Stanley Cup.

Heres. John Swartzberg and Jeffery Wolf at the University of California say that lifestyle changes can help people reduce the risk of at least 65 percent of cancers.
Cancers of the esophagus (stomach tube), mouth, throat and larynx are linked to alcohol. The more you drink the greater the risk. For women who know they have a higher risk of breast cancer or have had breast cancer, the advice is to forego the alcoholic drink or do so occasionally. Moderate drinking means one or two drinks a day for men and one for women.
This should not be necessary for city dwellers. But if you’re on a farm and use well water, high levels of arsenic have been associated with cancers of the bladder, colon, kidneys, liver, lung and skin. Arsenic is tasteless, odourless and is found in soil, rocks, water and air. Water filters that are placed on the faucet do not remove arsenic. The only solution is bottled water.kins lymphoma.
Ultraviolet light from sun tanning beds is estimated to cause two million cases of skin cancer every year. Remember this summer that no sunscreen blocks all radiation.
Prostate, lung and cancer of the uterus are associated with inactivity. Exercise enhances the immune system and decreases cancer risk by lowering cellular growth.
Studies suggest that being obese accounts for 14 percent of cancer deaths in men and 20 percent in women. These deaths occur from cancers of the large bowel, esophagus, liver, uterine cancer and leukemia. Why this happens is not totally understood, but there’s evidence it may be associated with the production of hormones. Obesity is also linked to chronic inflammation which may trigger cancer growth.
Heating food over coals or flames creates chemicals called heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which are believed to increase cancer risk. Most people associate this risk with grill cooking. But it’s also true for pan-frying foods on the stove. These chemicals are associated with an increased risk of pancreatic, prostate and colon malignancy. You can lower risk by using the microwave to pre-cook food for a few minutes before putting meat or chicken on the grill and then turn food often to prevent charring.
It seems unbelievable, but every year 10 percent of Americans get a CT scan! Equally frightening, the number getting this procedure increases every year. These scans now account for half of our radiation exposure. One CT scan is the same as 500 x-rays of the lungs. So always ask your doctors if the same result could be achieved by either an ultrasound or MRI test.
I tell patients to see a psychiatrist if they still smoke cigarettes, pipes, smokeless tobacco or cigars. Smoking is the leading cause of premature preventable deaths in this country. Remember it is never too late to quit and stop needless lung and other cancer deaths.
What is an anti-cancer diet? Authorities state repeatedly it’s prudent to limit the amount of red meat, pork and particularly processed meats, and to increase the amount of whole grains, fruits and vegetables.

Land of the Dead
Director : s George A. Romero
Screenplay : George A. Romero
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 2005
Stars : Simon Baker (Riley), John Leguizamo (Cholo), Dennis Hopper (Kaufman), Asia Argento (Slack), Robert Joy (Charlie), Eugene Clark (Big Daddy), Joanne Boland (Pretty Boy), Tony Nappo (Foxy), Jennifer Baxter (Number 9), Boyd Banks (Butcher)
George A. Romero's Land of the Dead is the fourth installment in a series of zombie films that started with 1968's landmark Night of the Living Dead, which encapsulated so perfectly the country's Vietnam-era fear that we were eating ourselves alive. Each film in the series since has been similarly stamped with the tenor of the times in which it was made -- the setting of 1978's Dawn of the Dead inside a shopping mall provided a cunning parody of '70s consumerism, and 1985's dark, nihilistic Day of the Dead played as a nightmarish vision of the Reagan era's obsession with military build-up.
Land of the Dead continues some of these same ideological concerns, but is unmistakably a product of the post-9/11 years and our escalating fears of terrorism. It is not without note that the one character in power in declares in a Bush-like mantra "We don't deal with terrorists," while another character threatens to unleash his own version of a jihad. The swarming zombies slowly taking over the world might as well stand in for all those faceless foreign enemies we are constantly being told to fear because they're right outside our gates, and it shouldn't come as much surprise that the film's true villain is a businessman who exploits the situation to his own gain, regardless of how many lives it costs. The zombies in this film are becoming more threatening because they're becoming smarter. They have begun to develop rudimentary communication and begin to figure out how to use blunt weapons, then tools, and finally firearms. Frighteningly enough, they're becoming, in a sense, more like us.
Like both Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead centers strongly on the human desire to rebuild what was lost, which is central to Romero's ideological concerns. After all, the overarching message of the entire series is how the same crushing power dynamics are replicated every time one society takes over another.
In Land of the Dead, this reaches its apotheosis in Fiddler's Green, a towering skyscraper into which all desirable people (read: primarily white but, most importantly, wealthy) have fled. It is lorded over by a cutthroat entrepreneur named Kaufman (Dennis Hopper), who realizes there is money to be made in the chaos and doesn't pause in taking advantage of it. Kaufman and his other cronies in business suits wield military and police power to keep Fiddler's Green protected from the zombie hoards, which are kept at bay by rivers on two sides and electrical fences on the other. The world under Kaufman's thumb is strictly segregated, with the wealthy living the good life inside Fiddler's Green while everyone else is confined to the dilapidated slums outside.
As with the other films in the series, Romero sides with representatives of the downtrodden -- those who are commanded, rather than command. The main character is Riley (Simon Baker), a decent man who has no choice but to work for Kaufman along with several others looting deserted small towns for supplies. This is accomplished with the help of an enormous armored and heavily armed truck called "Dead Reckoning" (which was the film's original title).
Riley's second-in-command is Cholo (John Leguizamo), an ambitious upstart who wants to accumulate enough wealth for himself that he can buy his way into Fiddler's Green and make a life for himself that we sense he has always been denied. Riley's true second, though, is Charlie (Robert Joy), who may have a low IQ, but is an excellent shot and is eternally devoted to Riley because Riley once saved his life.
Riley eventually finds another partner in Slack (Asia Argento), a feisty hooker who he saves from a particularly sadistic form of sideshow entertainment used by Kaufman to placate the slum dwellers lest they turn their aggression toward him. Riley's desire is to simply get away from everyone and everything -- to head up north where there are not only no zombies, but no people, period. Yet, he is convinced by Kaufman to track down Cholo after he hijacks Dead Reckoning and threatens to use its missiles against Fiddler's Green unless he is paid money he thinks he is owed.
Much of the plot of Land of the Dead was originally intended to be in Day of the Dead, but had to be dropped for budgetary reasons. Land of the Dead is clearly the highest-budgeted and most polished film in the series, as it is the first to have the backing of a major Hollywood studio (Universal, who also produced the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead) and also therefore the first to carry an R rating. Longtime gore aficionados shouldn't be too perturbed about the R rating and any implication that might have for reduced blood and guts. While not as lingeringly visceral as its predecessors, Land of the Dead has more than its share of goriness courtesy of make-up effects wizard Greg Nicotero, who trained under Romero's previous FX master Tom Savini (who makes a cameo as a zombie). When the zombies, led by a gas-station ghoul (Eugene Clark) who shows genuine distress when his fellow zombies are slaughtered, finally burst into Fiddler's Green and turn the world of the bluebloods upside down, it gives all new meaning to "eat the rich."
Romero has been largely out of the filmmaking game for the past decade, and Land of the Dead marks a strong return for the horror auteur. It is tempting to read his return to the zombie genre as a pathetic attempt to jump on the bandwagon and reclaim his former glory amidst all the recent films that are indebted to his original work (including Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later). Yet, Land of the Dead is more than good enough to stand on its own, and its only real weakness is that Romero moves through the narrative too fast, leaving little time for character development or reflection. Nevertheless, he maintains the cunning sense of black comedy that made Dawn so memorable (the film even starts with a sick joke by opening on a shot of a large restaurant sign reading "EATS"), and he also keeps a healthy fire lit under his leftist rage, but without letting the sociopolitical context run roughshod over the film's central aim of primal terror. In that sense, Land of the Dead is effectively frightening and at times disarming, all while adding to the series' continually developing allegory of the state of the union. In more ways than one it drives home the frightening suggestion that there is little difference between the human and the ghouls.

We've been sitting on this for a few days, since nothing official
has been announced, but now that the rumours are out on the web, we can confirm that Svein Tuft will be leaving Garmin-Transitions at the end of the season to join Fly V Australia, which hopes to move up to the ProTour ranks. We can also report that his team mate Christian Meier will be going to UnitedHealthcare presented by Maxxis.Garmin-Transitions is undergoing some siginificant changes for next season, with Cervelo coming on as a co-sponsor and bringing in a number of riders from the soon to be defunct Cervelo Test Team. Tuft was reportedly asked to stay with the new team but decided to move to Fly V Australia, where he is likely to be one of their key riders.
One rider from Cervelo who does not yet have a confirmed ride is Dominique Rollin, who was not included in the list of riders transfering to the new Garmin-Cervelo squad. The new combined team will therefore have only one Canadian rider - Ryder Hesjedal - despite Cervelo being a 'Canadian-based' company.

Krav Maga gets defensive to support troops
By Terry Oparka
C & G Staff Writer
More than 50 men and women put their money in their fists on Sept. 11 for the chance to get special training in hand-to-hand combat in support of the men and women who serve in the U.S. armed forces.
The event was held Sept. 11 at Krav Maga Detroit, on Maple Road in Troy, to commemorate the tragedy of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and to raise awareness of the needs of the families of soldiers while they are deployed.
Participants donated $25 each to participate in a knife-training seminar led by Krav Maga Detroit lead trainer and owner Pawel Cichowlas. All proceeds benefited Operation Homefront, which provides emergency financial help and other assistance to wounded soldiers and the families of service members.
Cichowlas explained that the Israeli Army developed the Krav Maga fitness and self-defense tactics.
“It doesn’t matter how big you are, these techniques will work,” he said.
Cichowlas immigrated to the U.S. from Poland and decided to found Krav Maga Detroit in Troy after 9/11.
“Nine/11 lead me to Krav Maga. I didn’t want to be helpless,” he said.
He became involved with Operation Homefront because he was impressed that the organization helps families of deployed soldiers.
“I know the money goes directly where needed,” he added.
Most — 99 percent — of the families Operation Homefront serves are of junior and mid-grade enlisted servicemen and women who are deployed. Financial assistance is provided in the form of grants, not loans.
Commerce Township resident Lt. Col. Dave Holmden, who retired from the U.S. Army after 28 years, volunteers for Operation Homefront. He was an engineering officer and served during the first Desert Storm.
“As a commander, I saw a lot of problems in troops deployed,” he said. He pointed out that those served by Operation Homefront do not have to reimburse the organization, as other programs offered to troops require.
He talks to troops before they are deployed and explains how Operation Homefront can help their families with things like emergency home repairs, vehicle repairs, baby items, and rent and mortgage assistance.
He thanked the participants in the Krav Maga seminar for their support.
“It takes a soldier out of focus when there’s trouble back home,” he said.

Included in recommendations for how the region should put more than $166 million in federal transportation funds to work: $850 grand to power study of the the First Hill streetcar extension beyond its currently planned terminus at Broadway and Denny, the future home of Capitol Hill Station.
The recommendation from the Puget Sound Regional Council is an important stamp of approval from the organization. You can show your support — or opposition — by emailing kmcgourty@psrc.org through October 25th when the council’s executive board will vote to approve the slate. A full list of recommended projects is below. You’ll note there are also line items for important work along 23rd Ave.
People involved with the planning process around a possible First Hill route extension to north Broadway say there is growing energy to push the rail system even farther north along 10th Ave to reach E Prospect and open up the possibility of a better connection to Volunteer Park.
The First Hill streetcar is expected to eventually serve around 3,500 riders per day, according to transit planners. A previous study concluded that.
Puget Sound Regional Council Recommends Transportation Funding for Seattle
SEATTLE – The Puget Sound Regional Council is recommending more than $166 million in funding for projects in Seattle, part of more than $440 million in federal funds proposed by PSRC to improve transportation around the region.

- South Park Bridge Replacement – $15,000,000more information is available at psrc.org.
This is excellent news.
I support the extension of the streetcar to Aloha, but $850,000 just to “study” the possibility? Yikes!
Amazing how much a study cost. Really, almost a million to study a tiny extension. Someone is padding their pockets with cash.
Here’s my comment to PSRC:
I am grateful to see (through the capitolhillseattle.com blog) that PSRC is to fund study of extending the First Hill streetcar up (north) Broadway so it serves more of the neighborhood. However, it seems to me that this study could also be extended very slightly to make the entire First Hill streetcar effort much, much more productive. If the grant were also to line item a good look at what it would take to close the very short gap between the First Hill streetcar terminus downtown and the Waterfront streetcar (across downtown), it would provide guidance for quickly doubling the usefulness of the two streetcar line segments. In addition, if the new car barn for the First Hill streetcar could be built to include space for the Melbourne cars currently in Metro storage, it would be a much simpler affair to make those cars available on both lines for special events or even regular service. Also, it would get the City of Seattle out of a jam — the City promised to build a car barn for the Waterfront Streetcar cars when SAM took the last one; but they never have. It would be such fun to have the Melborne trolleys running to MOHAI’s new digs, yes?
The city of Seattle is already studying options for how to connect the first hill line with the SLUT via 4th/5th avenues.
The map shows 10th Ave E and Prospect … but the text says 700 Broadway Ave E (I assume you mean 700 Broadway East) … isn’t that Roy Street Coffee? | http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2012/10/with-target-of-volunteer-park-plan-for-first-hill-streetcar-extension-makes-regional/ | 2013-05-18T10:12:02 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Dear Editor, The opponents of my bill quoted in your story ("Protecting the homeless raises locals' ire," Capitol Weekly, May 6) repeat the same old canards – that the bill will allow the homeless special privileges and allow them to “urinate in public places” or jeopardize public health.
On the contrary, the bill allows local governments to continue to cite people who are homeless if they block sidewalks, interfere with businesses or harass people on the street. It merely allows them to rest in public places. Tell me again why that should be a crime, when the only place they have to rest is in public? Remember they’re the ones without a private place to go to. Plus, the bill provides for hygiene centers – something that would be a boon to everyone.
Let’s stick to the facts and start to make a difference for our homeless and for our cities.Assemblymember Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco
Dear Editor,
I appreciate the generous article by Jim Cameron but wanted to make one slight correction: The final quotation in the article was not mine, but taken from James Q. Wilson's excellent book: Bureaucracy: What Government Agencies Do and Why They Do It.
As for Mort Saltzman's comment on my military skills when we were both at Fort Ord in the early 1960s --- call me for a full description of Mort lunging at a cloth practice dummy with a bayonet mounted on his rifle. The reaction of our Drill Instructor was classic!
Phil Isenberg,
Sacramento
In his recent opinion piece, “As police departments are cut, crime climbs” (Capitol Weekly, April 16), Kelly McMillin wrote that there was “an 11.3 percent increase in budgeted positions" at the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation between 2011 and the end of the 2013-14 fiscal year, and he attributed that information to the Department of Finance.
In fact, if you go to the Finance website, you’ll find that the number of budgeted positions at CDCR fell by more than 5,000 during that period. The department had 64,932 budgeted positions in the 2011-12 fiscal year () and is currently projected to have 59,736 positions in the 2013-14 fiscal year ().
Jeffrey Callison,
Press Secretary,

2009 Rolls-Royce Phantom
Good show, old chap: the big Roller gets a new bumper.
Like the Great Pyramid of Giza, Rolls-Royces change shape slowly and imperceptibly without affecting grandeur or purpose. This evolutionary pace ensures that even older Rolls models will remain relevant and rewarding, creating no sense of shame for owners even when placed next to newer, fresher versions.
That said, the single most noticeable change on the 2009 Rolls-Royce Phantom—the new front bumper—does just enough to tidy up the Phantom’s face that it might prompt customers to go ahead and toss down $400K for a new one anyway. Indeed, the nicely integrated fascia brings the bumper, fenders, and grille into agreement with each other. Together, they replace the clunky, unresolved front end that, frankly, made the pre-’09 Phantom look like it had already “menaced” a wall or two as part of the assembly process.
Rolls-Royce made more changes to the big bad Phantom for ’09, including new power rear bucket seats; relocated rear climate, window, and audio controls; a new clock; fabulous new rear vanity mirrors; and, for the first time, the unique headliner that uses tiny lights to mimic twinkling stars—evidently, when you have this kind of money, the stars always come out at night. The iconic Rolls grille has also been tweaked, becoming shallower to mimic the Phantom Coupé and Drophead Coupé, and cast-aluminum 21-inch wheels are now standard, with two additional wheel designs also being available. Production of the 2009 Phantom has just commenced at Rolls-Royce’s Goodwood facility.View Photo Gallery | http://www.caranddriver.com/news/2009-rolls-royce-phantom-car-news | 2013-05-18T10:52:55 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

During the summer, we spent a lot of time at the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) shopping for used work trucks. The first two we bought were nicknamed Jake and Elwood and served as an experiment for Car Craft and Chevy High Performance to see if they would respond to upgrades and function as reliable and inexpensive parts-chasers. We soon found that we could pick up 20 or 30 percent more power with basic bolt-ons. We also found that they look darn good with a decent paint job and they tend to start every day. So we bought a third. Once we saw the "Cone Zone" sticker on the bumper, its nickname suddenly seemed obvious. We'd like to introduce Cone Head. Join us as we help it earn some respect. AdoptionMost municipalities are going to have a fleet of beaters to fix potholes and haul copiers to the courthouse, and that usually means there will be an auction to pawn off the older models. Cone Head was number four on the Caltrans auction list in Sacramento that included primarily '93 models and some '94s. We wanted the newest truck we could get for the cash, but we were outgunned on all the '94s and ended up with a '93 GMC Sierra in Government Orange with a TBI 305, a 4L60-E overdrive transmission, and air conditioning. We had checked Cone Head out earlier in the day and found no rust and a reasonably straight body. A couple of dents were OK, but we knew that fixing the engine is always cheaper than hiring a good body man, and we were willing to gamble that the drivetrain was serviced by the state on a regular basis. We bid knowing there was no guarantee that the engine wouldn't explode on the way out of the parking lot, but at least Coney would look good behind a tow truck. Checking The BaselineThe big plan for Cone Head was to put a little heat in the engine with some basic parts and a tune-up, then maybe move it up one more notch with a cam and street-legal heads later on. Yes, we wanted a daily driver and parts-runner, but deep down we want a little snort under the black and blue pedicure to fend off the jackal bearing down on us in his espresso-injected Beemer. All of that comes later. First we needed a baseline to build on. We rigged Cone Head for testing with a backpressure gauge that we plumbed into the exhaust using a welded bung and installed our Innovate Engineering air/fuel meter that we can't seem to live without these days. Brother Jake had a cat full of particles that had increased the exhaust backpressure about 11 psi, so we were pleased to find our pipes producing only 6. A quick inspection revealed that Cone Head had been treated to a new cat courtesy of Caltrans not too far in the past. The first run on the dyno netted 122 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque. Doing the quick air-math, we figured that the quarter-mile e.t. on this truck would be around 20 seconds; no surprise there-it's stock. The O2 reading was 11.9:1-12.0:1, which was actually slightly rich compared to the average smog-legal California vehicle's 13:1 ideal, but overall everything looked good with lots of room for improvements. Stepping It UpStill glowing from the freebie cat, we visited Muffler Time so our pal Rick Stout could bolt up some Flowmaster duals. The Caltrans cat was welded in place, forcing us to chop-saw the flange off of our pristine kit and weld the two ends together, making it no longer a bolt-on. We were still ahead of the game when you consider a good cat is $400. We also wanted to add a chip from JET to maximize the fuel and timing curves and still be legal. The performance kit from JET also included underdrive pulleys and a throttle-body spacer. After a thorough scrubbing under the hood, we added the JET parts and performed a simple tune-up, tossing in some GMPP chrome valve covers to make it look like we'd been under there. 1 | 2 | » | View Full Article Enjoyed this Post?

Headlines and summaries are sometimes discussed separately. Here they are combined as one unit. This unit replaces the traditional objective (more on that below) with a more powerful statement. Here’s the headline and summary for Beth’s resume:
Beth has included the following information in her headline/summary section:
In writing the summary, the language you use is important. For more on using language effectively, see this section on writing a first draft.
*The Objective Section. A new way to write an objective is to make it a headline. In Beth’s resume, her objective is implied in the headline “Project Coordinator.” This is more effective than old-style statements like this: “A challenging position that will allow me to use my project coordination skills.” Today, statements like this are considered too general and self-serving to be effective. | http://www.careeronestop.org/ResumeGuide/HeadlineandSummary.aspx?fullsite=false | 2013-05-18T10:22:01 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

My client operates a number of quality driven nursing and residential care homes throughout the UK, and holds the interests of their service users at the heart of everything that they do.
They now have a requirement for a home manager for their 80 bedded nursing and residential home in the West Midlands. This post will present a challenge for its new manager, as (due to ill health)it has been without a good leader for several months, and now needs a strong and well experienced manager to lead the home forward.
The home has a separate EMI residential unit and has a diverse ethnic population, who’s needs and wishes are a priority within the home, along with a staff group who have been long standing and who believe that they know what is best for their residents
There are many things that need to be addressed to get this home back on track, and our client is looking for candidates who are nurse qualified, preferably have a recognised managerial award, and a strong leader who is up for a challenge! | http://www.careworx.co.uk/job/home-manager-wolverhampton/ | 2013-05-18T10:12:46 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Grenada’s tourism minister quits amid dispute
Peter David to make a comprehensive statement to his constituents.
ST GEORGE’S, Grenada, Wednesday May 02, 2012 – Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation and Culture, Peter David, has resigned in a move that is expected to heighten tensions within the troubled Grenada government.
David said he decided to step down Monday after the information minister refused to retract public comments made last week accusing David and other party colleagues of plotting to remove Prime Minister Tillman Thomas as leader.
David also hinted at the possibility of others joining the exodus from the four-year-old government.
“This is a matter of conscience which I felt I must act on, and will leave it up to other cabinet colleagues who have been similarly maligned and unjustly characterized to deal with it in their own way,” he told reporters at a news conference.
“My withdrawal therefore affords the Prime Minister the opportunity to mould a cabinet with members he feels he can trust or who will tell him the things he approves,” added David, warning “It is clear that this entire matter is becoming too much of a distraction and this gathering cloud of uncertainty is hampering the economic and social development of Grenada”.
David, who refused to take questions from the media, said that he would make a comprehensive statement when he addresses his constituents in the town of St. George tomorrow (May 3).
There has been much speculation that the main opposition New National Party (NNP) is planning to move a vote of no-confidence in the Tillman Thomas administration, which has been plagued by infighting since it won the 2008 general election by an 11-4 margin.
A number of government ministers have either resigned or been dismissed, and last week Information Minister Glen Noel, in a video posted on the social networking site Facebook, accused David and some of his colleagues of seeking to overthrow the 66-year-old prime minister.
David told reporters he was “pushed” into submitting his resignation, blaming the video broadcast by Noel for the situation.
“I was pushed into having to take this decision after the Prime Minister refused to accept the proposal that the Minister of Information retract public comments that sought to bring the party and government into disrepute,’’ David said, adding that “Many people have seen the online video where incendiary and unbecoming comments, almost bordering on slander, were levelled against me and other cabinet colleagues”.
“The record is there to show that, in spite of repeated provocations and a well-orchestrated smear campaign against my name, until now I have said nothing publicly on the issues at hand,’’ David said, adding “However, within the last week the situation became untenable with the publication of the comments by the Minister that was made in the presence of Prime Minister Thomas and Minister of Finance Nazim Burke”.
“Given their presence, and their subsequent stance Monday when the issue was brought up, it is now clearer that the comments were made with their tacit approval,” David said, noting that he would remain Member of Parliament for the Town of St. George and NDC general secretary.

Caribbean Star Airlines/Air Jamaica reach special prorate agreement
• Improved Connec-tivity – Caribbean Star will adjust its flight schedules to better coincide with Air Jamaica service to/from Barbados and Grenada. As a result, travellers will spend less time at the airport waiting to make connecting flights
• Improved Pricing – travellers based in Antigua, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and Trinidad & Tobago can now take advantage of lower fares when connecting from Caribbean Star flights to Air Jamaica service to Jamaica and 11 gateways in North America.
Michael Conway, CEO of Air Jamaica, commented on the agreement, stating: “Air Jamaica’s role is to make travel to and from the Caribbean more accessible and affordable. This partnership with Caribbean Star is a clear demonstration that by working more closely together, Caribbean airlines can better compete in the marketplace by providing our customers with more choices and better schedules.”
Skip Barnette, president and CEO of Caribbean Star and its sister carrier Caribbean Sun, stated: “For those who don’t think that Caribbean carriers can work together for the better good of the traveling public, think again. Caribbean Star and Caribbean Sun are 100 per cent committed to providing the very best in air transportation services for our customers, and we are extremely pleased to have Air Jamaica as a partner.
"Along similar lines, we’re also working through our membership in ALTA to find additional avenues of cooperation with our regional partners.”
ALTA (the Latin American Air Transportation Association) is a private, non-profit organisation composed of Latin American and Caribbean commercial airlines, whose objective is to combine and coordinate the efforts of its members to facilitate the development of air transport in the region.
Originally founded in 1980 as AITAL, the organisation has 29 member airlines representing total annual revenues in excess of US$14.1 billion. For more information on ALTA, visit.
