I'm a big tent conservative, and I think that economic, national security and social conservatism go together like ham, eggs and hash browns. So when I see ostensible conservatives whose first priority is to attack or distance themselves from fellow conservatives, I am not impressed. Recently, there has been controversy over this year's CPAC, because certain social conservative groups have withdrawn from the event rather than share it with GOProud, a group of gay conservatives. Consistent with my general approach to these matters, my instinctive sympathies were with GOProud.
But that was before I saw Chris Barron, the Chairman of GOProud, on the Democratic Party's house TV network, MSNBC. The goofball liberal host trots out the usual anti-Republican talking points, and Barron shuts him down cold. These are my words, not Barron's, but liberalism is all about screwing certain people so that others can enjoy a windfall, and trying to cobble together an electoral majority out of that corruption. Conservatism, on the other hand, is all about building a better society for everyone. That is the message that comes through from Barron's interview.
If Barron speaks for GOProud, as I assume he does, they are a welcome and potentially powerful part of our conservative movement.

Limited Edition Morgan Coast boat shoe from Rockport Review
Whether you are into sailing or just appreciate cool style in what you wear everyday check out the just released on March 1st Limited Edition Morgan Coast boat shoe from Rockport. These trendsetters or collectibles are limited to only 200 pairs that will be individually numbered. The original Morgan Coast shoe from Rockport was released in 1994 as the official boat shoe of the Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race (later known as the Volvo Ocean Race). This new limited edition release hearkens back to Rockport's rich sailing history, where the company's shoes have been the casual and technical shoe of choice for many professional sailors and boating enthusiasts. We're not quite into boating season yet in Northeast Ohio but I wore my test pair of Limited Edition Morgan Coast boat shoe in white from Rockport and I must say they are extremely comfortable and provide plenty of ankle support. The Rockport design team scoured sailing schools in the New England area to find the perfect vintage sail (approximately 170 square feet) and repurposed as fabric and material for 200 limited edition pairs.
The limited edition styles include two colorways of the Morgan Coast shoe in white and navy, and these shoes include many design cues and distinctive features that could be found on traditional sailing boats with Oversized grommets at the sides, with reinforced rubber gaskets, Zig zag stitching on the upper, reminiscent of stitching found on actual sails, Shoe laces that replicate the look of nautical rope and Ingenious hardware at the collar of the shoes which mimic pulley systems used in sailing. Bottom line is not only are these very sharp and unique shoes but the technology that Rockport put into these limited edition kicks is top of the line. Go to Rockport.com to learn more.

The Most Ridiculous Around-the-World Adventure Can Be Yours — For a Very Hefty $1.2 Million
Jules Verne took readers around the world in 80 days, but you really need more time to savor the sites.
The company veryfirstto.com is offering an around-the-world trip for people who want to add the word "globetrotter" to their resume.
Let's hope you've already made your fortune and don't need to clock in at the office because the trip takes two years and will set you back $1.2 million.
This trip may sound like a dream come true for fans of 'The Amazing Race' and in some ways it is, albeit without the traveling quickly from one destination to the next part.
If you sign up, you'll be whisked away to more than 960 sites named as culturally and naturally relevant by the World Heritage Committee, including the Grand Canyon, the Acropolis, the Tower of London and Machu Picchu, to name a few.
And don't think for a second that you'll have to rough it in hostels or on some dude's hut floor. No, you'll live it put up in five-star style at hotels like the Taj Mahal, the Ritz-Carlton in Moscow and Hotel George V in Paris.
Here's hoping that if you book it, you remember to ask your neighbors to get your mail. Of course, by the time you get back the postal service might very well be a distant memory.

Innovation of the Week: Pokémon Go inspires new approach to buying and selling furniture online
Inspiration can arise from surprising sources—and can lead to equally astonishing destinations.
For example, take Gregg Brockway, executive chairman and co-founder of the Internet consignment marketplace startup Chairish. Brockway has devised a new way to buy and sell home furnishings online that leverages augmented reality (AR) technology.
But despite a long and accomplished career in the technology field, Brockway didn't get this idea from his professional experience. Instead, this innovation originated much closer to home.
"The inspiration for this was watching my kids play Pokémon Go and seeing how they made it super simple to use augmented reality to blend gaming on the phone with what you see out in real world," Brockway said in an interview. "And that's exactly what our new app does."
Chairish's new app, which became available this week, uses AR to show a prospective buyer exactly how a piece of furniture, décor or art will look in their home. For example, someone can search up a chandelier on the site, and then press a button on the mobile app that says, "View in My Space." The app then uses the camera on the smartphone to display an image of the chandelier superimposed on the buyer's room.
"In this way, you can get an immediate sense of how that piece looks in your space, Brockway said. "It's one thing when you see pretty images on a page or a mobile app, but until you see how it actually fits in with your other stuff—stylistically, color-wise, size-wise and all that—you don't really know if it's the right fit."
Augmented reality market gains strength
San Francisco-based Chairish's creative use of AR technology represents just the latest development in the fast-growing augmented reality market.
The arrival of the mobile video game phenomenon Pokémon Go in 2016 sounded the starting gun for the AR market and served as a demonstration of a successful implementation of the technology. With this success in the books, worldwide revenues for the combined AR and virtual reality markets are set to explode to more $162 billion in 2020, up from about $5 billion in 2016, predicts International Data Corp.
Shopping will be particularly fertile ground for AR, with 100 million consumers expected to shop using augmented reality by 2020, according to Gartner Inc.
Furnishing technology
Brockway believes AR technology can help the online furniture marketplace business to achieve its so-far unrealized potential. He estimates the U.S. home furniture and décor amounts to a massive total of $270 billion—but online sales account for only 10 percent of that total.
"(Home furnishings) has been one of the slowest industries to migrate online—in part because making a purchase for the home like this is a scary thing to do," Brockway noted. "It's not like buying a shirt, where if you don't like it, you stick it in a closet and forget about it. When you buy a sofa, it's out there and everyone can see it, so it tends to be a very considered purchase. The more information we can make available to help alleviate that anxiety, the more comfortable people are going to be about buying things online. The online segment is growing quickly and technology like augmented reality is a really important enabler of that trend."
Brockway sees plenty of room for further innovation with Chairish's AR technology, including in the areas of gamification and social media.
Chairish the thought
With Brockway, the topic of inspiration comes up a lot. Before Chairish, he was a co-founder of travel site Hotwire.com and at travel itinerary app firm Triplit Inc.
Like the notion of using AR, the idea of Chairish arose from Brockway's personal experience. Brockway and his wife—company president and co-founder, Anna Brockway—have moved multiple times. Each time they changed residences, the Brockways found they needed to sell some of their old home furnishings that didn't quite fit their new abode. The couple soon learned that existing online services like Craigslist were inadequate for the task of selling home furnishings.
The couple then decided to tackle the issue by establishing their own online marketplace, resulting in their co-founding of Chairish.
With AR-based shopping set to play a major role in future consumer activity, services like that provided by Chairish are paving the way to the future of buying and selling online.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Guardsmark LLC Unlawfully Discriminated Against Women Based on Customer Preference, Federal Agency Charged
HOUSTON – Guardsmark LLC, a major provider of security services in North America and the United Kingdom, will pay $52,500 to settle a sex discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
The EEOC had charged that New York-based Guardsmark discriminated against Danielle R. Jones and other female security guards in its Houston office because of their sex. According to the complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas (Civil Action No. 4:09cv3062), Guardsmark engaged in gender-based discrimination by succumbing to customer preference for male security guards and reassigning the women to inconvenient, lesser-paying security guard posts.
In addition to the monetary payments, the consent decree signed by U.S. District Judge Ewing Werlein, Jr. requires Guardsmark to provide managerial and supervisory employees at its Greater Houston branch office with mandatory training on federal laws prohibiting discrimination in employment; to post a notice at its Greater Houston branch stating Guardsmark's commitment to prevent all workplace discrimination and retaliation; and to submit reports to the EEOC detailing its compliance with the decree.
"This settlement serves as reminder to businesses that a customer's preference to be staffed or served by workers of a particular gender is never an excuse to engage in illegal sex discrimination," said EEOC regional attorney Jim Sacher. "Misinformation, stereotypes and false assumptions about the job capabilities of women still cloud many employment decisions. The EEOC will take all necessary steps to ensure that job opportunities traditionally reserved for men are open to all employees."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Regents approve new policy for four-year NU bachelor's degree
University of Nebraska students who want to save time and money by graduating in four years now have a direct path to do so.
Under a new policy approved by the Board of Regents, most NU students who take a full course load of 15 credit hours per semester for eight semesters will be able to earn their bachelor's degree after four years. The 120-credit hour policy aims to provide significant savings to students and their families as well as maximize the university's financial aid programs.
Currently, many degree programs require 125 credit hours or more – the result of "credit creep" that, over time, has had the unintended result of extending time to graduation for many students.
"The University of Nebraska must address the public concern that college costs too much and that it takes students too long to graduate," NU President James B. Milliken said. "While we will, of course, continue to maintain reasonable rates of tuition and invest in financial aid as part of our efforts to keep the university affordable, I believe one of the best ways we can provide savings to students is by accelerating their time to graduation.
"A fifth year of college adds about 20 percent to the cost of a bachelor's degree," Milliken added. "The university can mitigate this cost by implementing a 120-credit hour path to a degree, so that students can be expected to complete their education in four years assuming they plan ahead and make prudent choices during their college careers."
Tied to P-16 Initiative
Milliken noted that the policy is aligned with the Nebraska P-16 Initiative, which Governor Heineman chairs. One of the eight P-16 goals is to improve the time to degree completion and increase graduation rates among Nebraska's college students. Milliken, one of four co-chairs of the P-16 Initiative, leads that goal.
The policy also builds on NU's four-year graduation guarantee, which was approved by the Board in 2002 and is based on a mutual commitment from students to follow prudent practices while in college and from the university to ensure that required courses or acceptable alternatives are available.
Board of Regents Chairman Bob Whitehouse, a member of the P-16 Leadership Council, said, "The bottom line is this: Students who take an average of 15 credit hours per semester for four years and are successful with their course of study should find themselves as University of Nebraska alumni. I believe offering an NU bachelor's degree at 120 credit hours is the right thing to do for our students, their families and the university."
The new policy will become effective for students entering the university in fall 2012. The policy guarantees that an NU baccalaureate degree requires 120 credit hours, unless otherwise approved by the Provost in cases where professional accreditation or state certification would require more credit hours, or where a degree is defined as a five-year degree. Any other exceptions must be approved by the Board of Regents.
'A responsibility to students and families'
Linda Pratt, executive vice president and provost, said, "Many departments have let the hours in the major grow in recent years." Reductions in credit hours required for a degree program could come from departments and academic officers re-examining requirements in the major or in the general education coursework.
The university's three primarily undergraduate campuses already are making progress on this front, Pratt said.
"We need to make it possible for students who work hard at their courses to be able to graduate in four years," Pratt said. "Making that possible is a responsibility we have to our students and their families. It will save them tuition, room and board, and reduce their level of debt if they can be out of college with a degree in hand after eight full semesters. It will also enable the university to stretch our financial aid to help more students if we can graduate them in four years instead of five."
Pratt noted that currently, only one-quarter of NU freshmen complete at least 15 credit hours per semester. That figure rises slightly for upperclassmen, but still, NU students take an average of nine semesters to graduate.
Given that about 60 percent of NU baccalaureate graduates report loan debt, and that the average debt load is $18,000, shortening students' time to graduation has significant financial implications, Pratt said. Resident students pay approximately $9,000 to $10,000 per semester, depending on which campus they attend.
The new policy does not require that students graduate in four years – many still will choose to stay in school longer, for a variety of reasons – but rather provides the opportunity for those who want to finish on time to do so.
Other strategies
The university will encourage advising programs that inform students about completing their degree in four years, Pratt said. The university also will support initiatives designed to help students choose a major.
A related goal is increased collaboration between two- and four-year colleges in Nebraska to facilitate transfer of credit hours and seamless transitions for students from two-year institutions to four-year institutions. NU's OnCourse program, for example, provides automatic admission to the university for community college students who meet an established set of criteria.
The university also plans to continue expanding Online Worldwide, its distance education platform, to provide college completion opportunities for the 265,000 Nebraskans who have completed some college but have not earned a degree.

Ink Street Cocktail
1/3 Canadian Club Whisky. (3/4 oz 40 Creek Barrel Select, 1/4 oz Buffalo Trace Bourbon)
1/3 Orange Juice. (1 oz fresh valencia Orange Juice)
1/3 Lemon Juice. (1 oz fresh Lemon Juice)
Shake well then strain into cocktail glass.
Taking perfumekev's advice to heart, I did a little on-the-fly blending, in an attempt to juice up the 40 creek.
Definitely seems to lend a bit more character in the drink, to the point where I can actually taste the whisk(e)y, which probably wouldn't have been the case with just the 40 Creek.
In regards the drink, 3 oz is a little large. Where 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 oz would have been a bracing tonic that you could throw back in a single go, at 3 oz, the Ink Street gets a bit sour by the end.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

Trek to Kumara Parvata [23rd - 24th February 2019] -
If you aren't very new to the
world of trekking then you would have heard the name Kumara Parvata being
mentioned often. Considered among the toughest treks in South India, It is a
perfect mix of physical challenge and natural beauty of the Pushpagiri Wildlife
We start from Bangalore on Friday night and reach Subramanya between 5 and 6 AM on saturday morning. At about 7.30 AM after freshening up, and a quick breakfast, we will proceed to the trailhead, a quarter kilometre long walk away from the Kukke Subramanya temple. A quick introduction and briefing and we begin the first phase of our trek to Bhattara Mane. The trail is a well trod one, and continues for a good 7 kilometers uphill, through thick jungle (Expect leeches in the monsoon and post-monsoon seasons). You know that you're nearing Bhattara mane when the jungle starts growing thinner and the incline becomes less demanding. The trail eventually opens out onto hilly grassland. On an average, this first stretch takes about 3-4 hours to cover.
On reaching Bhattara mane, we will have a quick lunch, a brief rest and then we begin the second stage of the trek (Destination: The Kumara Parvatha Peak). From Bhattara mane, we rejoin the trail and proceed to the first viewpoint. A few minutes to stand in awe (and to click a few pictures) of the majesty of the mountain you are about to conquer and we hit the trail to the Forest Department to finish any formalities. After passing Viewpoint 2, the incline of the trail begins to increase gradually until it remains at a constant angle of about 45-55 degrees with hilly grassland. After about an hour, you will reach the Mantapa, an ancient black stone structure where we will have our first major respite.
The trek here onwards involves unrelenting inclines with a series of false peaks which will trick you into thinking you are almost on top of Sesha Parvata (The first main peak before Kumara Parvata). On reaching Sesha Parvata, we will regroup and proceed towards Kumara Parvata. We descend Sesha parvata into another jungle, very different (Shorter but dense vegetation) from the first one near Kukke Subramanya. This stretch traverses along a saddle formed between Sesha Parvata and Kumara Parvata. Traces of wildlife (bisons, etc.) having passed through this stretch can often be noticed. The final patch will require you to scramble up steep sections of boulders and rock faces until it levels out onto flat ground - a sign that you have reached the summit of Kumara Parvata. With low clouds and absolute silence, the feel of the place is simply divine. After resting at the peak for a while, we will start descending by 3 PM with the intention of reaching Bhattara mane before dark and before cloud cover sets in - Two natural hazards that we want to completely avoid. We will reach Bhattara mane in time for dinner and a blissful night's rest.
After an early breakfast, we will begin descending by 8AM into the jungle back to Kukke Subramanya, from where by noon, we will start for Bangalore. Overall Kumara Parvata makes for an amazing trekking experience and should be on your 'to-do-treks' list if you intend to take up trekking seriously.
- Carry more water bottles.
- Torch is mandatory.
- Pack light. Carry only what is necessary.

I enjoy turning trash to treasure and this project was certainly a good one! My neighbor called me and said she had some things she wanted to get rid of, to come take a look. I found a couple things for our beachy/mermaid bathroom and in the pile of stuff was a (broken) Jim Shore resin sailboat that (I hope I don't offend anyone, LOL) was quite hideous. Really the sail was the most awful green for this sculpture. This photo doesn't even do it justice. It was VIBRANT, but it had "good bones". It sat on my kitchen table for a good week. I almost tossed it twice before this idea came to me. ;)
I'm sure you see where this is going! I decided to cover it with paper! and what fun it was molding and sculpting the boat and sails into a whimsy of life on the high seas.
So glad I didn't toss it because this is probably one of my favorite projects recently. You are probably wondering what music had to do with sailboats right?? Well I think it is safe to say I was thinking out of the box with this one. (recycled paper mache xmas gift box to be exact.) None the less it works great and the quote ties it all together. The quote from the journal card sheet was cut with a spellbinder's die and safety pinned to the sail over the word "listen". I layered and pop dotted the same word from the sticker sheet onto it.
Thanks for looking!

BALTIMORE >> A frustrating night for Albert Pujols had a delightful ending.
Pujols hit an RBI single in the 13th inning, and the Angels beat the Baltimore Orioles 1-0 Thursday to avert a three-game sweep.
Pujols grounded into double plays in each of his first two at-bats. In the 11th, the 34-year-old slugger hit a scorcher down the third-base line that Manny Machado snared in the top of the webbing before throwing to first from foul ground to beat Pujols by a step.
Then came the 13th.
Kole Calhoun drew a leadoff walk from Ryan Webb (3-2) and Mike Trout singled before Pujols singled through the drawn-in infield.
"Albert hit the ball hard every time up except one popup but had nothing really to show for it until he lined that single to center," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "That's what Albert is about. He keeps playing. Machado is a magician out there, took a couple of hits away from him."
Hector Santiago (3-7) pitched two shutout innings and Huston Street got three outs for his fourth save since joining the Angels on July 18.
Appropriately, the game ended when Adam Jones hit a popup to Pujols at first base. After making the catch, he smiled, flipped the ball to teammate Howie Kendrick and looked toward the heavens.
Tyler Skaggs and six relievers combined on a five-hitter, and David Freese matched a career high with four hits to help Los Angeles improve to 3-10 in one-run games on the road.
Skaggs had a no-hitter with two outs in the fifth inning before leaving with left forearm tightness. He was replaced by Mike Morin, who immediately gave up a bloop single to Caleb Joseph.
The Orioles didn't get another hit until Joseph singled leading off the eighth.
Each of Baltimore's last six games has been decided by one run, four of them in extra innings. The Orioles fell to 12-4 in extra innings.
"All our pitchers I thought pitched pretty well," manager Buck Showalter said. "Unfortunately, they did, too. They've got an outstanding bullpen and our guys matched them for the most part."
Baltimore starter Bud Norris scattered eight hits over seven innings, striking out four and walking one. The right-hander is 5-0 with a 0.43 ERA in six career starts against the Angels.
The Angels loaded the bases in the third before Pujols grounded into a double play for the second time. He made up for it later.
Despite the loss, the AL East-leading Orioles won the season series 4-2. All six games were decided by two runs or fewer.
Skaggs walked the first batter he faced, and then retired 14 straight before walking Steve Pearce in the fifth. The lefty threw one more pitch before leaving.
"It's always a concern whenever your arm's sore and can't feel your fingers," Skaggs said. "I felt it was one of the better games I felt all year. It's frustrating."

Primary drive gears can rise or lower the final drive ratio of your VESPA motors gearbox. A higher drive ratio becomes necessary when increasing the cubic capacity of your PX80-150 motor with performance enhancing cylinder kits with a cubic capacity of between 166 and 177cc. A performance enhanced 200cc VESPA motor with a tuning cylinder or at least an expansion chamber exhaust system could also benefit from a taller primary drive gear ratio. The extra performance available ensures that in combination with a taller gear ratio the higher revolutions can be turned into a noticeable top-speed increase. More torque orientated motor setups have then the advantage of a higher cruising speed at lower engine revs., with more miles to the gallon and less risk of overheating and the inevitable motor damage that follows.
The primary drive ratio conversion kits consist of a primary drive gear, spring repair set (apart from the DRT version) and a clutch cog. The gear cogs in this conversion kit are of the straight cut type. This makes them more mechanically efficient than helical or angled primary drive gear cogs. The axial thrust created by the original PIAGGIO gear cogs against the input shaft bearing is also avoided. A higher ratio primary drive makes all the gears taller simultaneously. If you do not want to strip your motor completely for a similar effect, you can replace the clutch gear cog, on its own. If only individual gears need ratio adjustment these too can be replaced with correspondingly larger or smaller cogs.
After a long period of abstinence both MALOSSI and POLINI have their classic primary drive conversion kits back in production. The 24/63 ratio in the MALOSSI kit offers very tall gearing. Due to the fact that MALOSSI 210cc cylindered motors have enough top end power to enable speeds of up to 135 km/h (over 80 mph) to be achieved, without having to use the infamous white van man as a wind-breaker on the motorway. DRT also have a specialised solution in production: The 23/62 gear cog teeth ratio is designed for the premier division of cylinder kits, beyond 210cc. The 24/62 kit is designed for GS 150 motor projects with performance enhancing peripherals such as an expansion chamber exhaust system or even a QUATTRINI M1XL racing cylinder, to enable a higher top-speed.
If these kits are intended to be used in combination with a PIAGGIO COSA II clutch then the corresponding DRT clutch cog will also have to be ordered. Alternatively Worb5 produce a primary drive gear cog kit specifically for use with the PIAGGIO COSA II clutch. Or use the special MALOSSI Cosa 2 primary drive gear in 23/64 or 24/63.
Conclusion: There is hardly a more effective method to provide the correct gearing for your motors specific power output.
SIP-TIP: Always install and replace ALL of the smaller primary drive components during each major service. The securing plates on both sides of the primary drive, input shaft holding nut, tab washer and also the input shaft needle bearings should all be replaced for save and enduring use of your motor. Last but not least do not forget to order fresh gearbox oil, gaskets and all relevant oil seals! If you want to mount a 200cc VESPA motors clutch in your PX80-150cc crank case then you will also need the primary drive from the 200cc motor.
SIP Community user 'Mick' on art.-no. 20301000: "Spot on. Assembled easily."
SIP Community user 'Vespisti1' on art.-no. 20302000: "I'd not try this unless you fit a Pinasco or Polini 177, with a Sito Plus and a 24/24 SI carb. Benefits: You can save fuel when cruising with ease in 4th gear (a lot of it), and at the same time have an unstopable screaming tractor in 3rd gear capabable of climbing a hill, on a windy morning, with a tall screen and two up at 100 km/h"

Derek McGinnis, an author and veteran of the Iraq War, will speak at the Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs on Wednesday about his experience in the war and his recovery from his injuries.
McGinnis served as a corpsman in the Navy and was attached to the USMC 3rd LAR from 29 Palms. He was injured while riding in an ambulance during a battle in Fallujah during Operation Phantom Fury in November 2004. According to his profile on the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund website, the ambulance was hit by a suicide bomber and the explosion left McGinnis with a TBI, injuries to his eye and severe injuries to his leg, necessitating amputation above the knee.
The veteran has written a book titled, "Exit Wounds: A Survival Guide to Pain Management for Returning Veterans and Their Families." The book details McGinnis's service in the war as well as his rehabilitation in the military and veterans affairs health care system.
Read more about McGinnis's appearance this week at the Oregon VA.
If you're a veteran who has been injured while on active duty, contact Veterans Help Group, a veterans disability law firm.

Consider the function $z(n) = (1-f(n))^{g(n)}$. For $f(n) = \frac 1n, g(n) = n$ we have that $\lim z(n) = e^{-1}$; more generally, when $f(n) = \frac cn$ for any constant $c$, we have $\lim z(n) = e^{-c}$. In each of these cases we note that the limit is equal to $e^{-f(n)g(n)}$.
Here's my question: Under what conditions (on $f,g$) can we claim that $(1-f(n))^{g(n)} \sim e^{-f(n)g(n)}$? Unless $f(n)g(n)$ is a constant, the RHS also depends on $n$, which is why I'm only asking about asymptotic equality. My original guess was that it is sufficient to have $f(n) \to 0$ and $g(n) \to \infty$ but I haven't been able to get anywhere with a proof.
My context: I have the quantity $( 1 - \frac 1n)^{cn \log n}$ and I'd like desperately for this to be asymptotically equal to $e^{-c\log n} = n^{-c}$.

On Thursday, October 29, 2015, Barbara Giusti, life-long Citrus Heights resident, was given her wings and welcomed into her eternal home. A true angel, her spirit is carried on by her husband, five children, 17 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
Barbara Jean Lawson, daughter of the late Hazel Lamoine (Waggoner) and the late James "Jim" Alfred Phillips, was born on February 10, 1933 in Citrus Heights. Raised by her mother and step-father, Jim, Barbara was the oldest of four children. Her three brothers, who have preceded her in death, include Lester "Dale" Lawson, Linvel James Phillips, and William Warren Phillips.
Barbara married the love of her life, Emil Giusti, on March 16, 1951 at the Nazarene Church in Roseville. Together, they shared a love that would last the ages. Emil, born in Roseville on September 13, 1926, grew up in the same neighborhood as Barbara. Emil recalls her teasing him when they were young, calling him "Giusti Fruit." In 1948, shortly after returning home from his service in the United States Army, Emil attended a dance at the Odd Fellows Hall. It was there he was reunited with the beautiful Barbara as the two danced their way towards an everlasting love. Three years later, shortly after Barbara turned 18 years old, the two formally vowed to forever be by each other's side.
There were two aspects of her life that Barbara cherished: her family and her relationship with God.
Barbara and Emil Giusti gave birth to six beautiful children. Their first child, Christina Lynn, passed away shortly after her birth in 1953. On May 10, 1954, Barbara gave birth to the oldest of her five children, Susan Elaine. She then gave birth to Linda Marie on October 19, 1955 followed by her only son, Craig Allen, on December 19, 1956. Carla Jean, her fourth child, was born on September 10, 1958. The youngest of Barbara's children, Laura Lynn, was born on May 2, 1960.
As her children grew and married, Barbara experienced the joys of parenting all over again with a whole new perspective: as a grandmother. With 13 grandchildren and 4 step-grandchildren, there is no doubt Barbara over-fulfilled her duty as a grandmother. Her love expanded across many generations, and her legacy will continue on through her great-grandchildren.
During her lifetime, Barbara contributed to a variety of community organizations and charities. Barbara was a long-time active member of the Holy Family Church. She was a member and past president (1978-1980) of the Catholic Ladies Relief Society, No. 11 of the Sacramento Diocese and was named "Woman of the Year" award from the Sacramento Deanery of Catholic Ladies. In May 2015, she became the new Grand President of the Sacramento Diocese Grand Council of the Catholic Ladies Relief Society. Barbara also served as a member of the Christ the King Retreat Center Guild and the ladies auxiliary for the VFW. In addition, she worked with Senior Gleaners, a Sacramento-based food bank, for 18 years.
A memorial mass organized by Lambert Funeral Home and the Catholic Ladies Relief Society was held at the Holy Family Parish on November 5.
In lieu of flowers, we ask that monetary donations be made in Barbara's name to the Catholic Ladies Relief Society and non-perishable food items be donated to the CLRS Food Locker.
Barbara Giusti was a woman like no other and will always be remembered for her strength and optimism. She was a free-spirit with a heart of gold. She truly lived each day to the fullest, unafraid of any challenges she faced. In the darkest of times, she looked to her Lord, like a sunflower looking to the sun.
Our hope will be forever strengthened, our fears will be forever conquered, and our love will be forever patient, because Barbara Giusti will be forever in our hearts.
On behalf of family and friends, we would like to thank the Catholic Ladies Relief Society, the Holy Family Church, and the Lambert Funeral Home for their support with organizing the memorial service and reception.

Did you know… Garlic
Along with flavoring your food, garlic can also confer multiple benefits on your health. It has been linked to a reduced risk of colo-rectal cancer and has shown protection against heart disease.
Garlic is a member of the Allium sativum family, which includes onions, shallots, leeks and chives. It is one of the oldest cultivated plants and has origins in Southeast Asia. The active components in garlic are sulfur containing compounds, including thiosulfinates (i.e. allicin), sulfoxides (i.e. alliin) and dithiines, but the most important component is the sulfur itself. Garlic also has high levels of selenium (which may help reduce the risk of cancer), manganese (helps maintain bone health, regulate blood sugar and synthesize fatty acids and cholesterol) and Vitamins B6 and C. This article from the New York Times illustrates the sulfur compounds as defense mechanisms for allium vegetables, given their pungent odor and flavor.
The benefits of the sulfur containing compounds are most readily available when the garlic is peeled and chopped and left to sit out for 15-20 minutes before cooking. Heating unpeeled cloves will deactivate the enzyme. Results from research studies show an inverse relationship between the amount of fresh/cooked garlic consumed and levels of colorectal cancer (more garlic = less cancer). The studies did not look at powdered garlic or garlic supplements, which do not show the same benefits as fresh cloves.
The cardio-protective benefits of cancer include reduced cholesterol, lower blood pressure and lower risk for blood clots. It is believed that these benefits are derived from both the sulfur compounds and the anti-inflammatory mechanisms in garlic. Garlic can help prevent damage from oxidation, which in turn contributes to inflammation, and both of these processes contribute to heart disease. Vitamin C prevents oxidation, as does vitamin B6, which helps lower levels of damaging homocysteine. Selenium works with your body to produce an anti-inflammatory called glutathione peroxidase.
With all of these health benefits and no discovered adverse side effects of eating garlic, it's an easy way to keep your body healthy. Simply add garlic to soup, a stir fry, salad dressing, sauce and pasta, meat, poultry, fish and shellfish dishes. It is also delicious cut in half, drizzled with olive oil and roasted in the oven.
Today is week 7 of Summerfest, and you can find a list of blogs with inspiring garlic recipes at A Way to Garden. With fall just around the corner it's the perfect time to try something new!

LymphadenitisLymphadenitis - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
Lymphadenitis is the medical term for an infection in one or more lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are filled with white blood cells that help your body fight off infections. When lymph nodes become infected, it's usually because an infection started somewhere else in your body.
Facts about lymphadenitis
You have about 600 lymph nodes in your body, but normal lymph nodes may only be felt below your jaw, under your arms, and in your groin area.
A normal lymph node is small and firm. When lymph nodes become infected, they usually increase in size and may be felt in other areas of your body during a physical examination.
Infections that spread to lymph nodes are usually caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. It is important to learn how the infection spread into your lymph nodes so that the right treatment can be started.
Types of lymphadenitis
Lymphadenitis can be one of two types:
Localized lymphadenitis. This is the most common type. Localized lymphadenitis involves one or just a few nodes that are close to the area where the infection started. For example, nodes enlarged because of a tonsil infection may be felt in the neck area.
Generalized lymphadenitis. This type of lymph node infection occurs in two or more lymph node groups and may be caused by an infection that spreads through the bloodstream or another illness that affects the whole body.
The main symptom of lymphadenitis is enlarged lymph nodes ? a lymph node is considered enlarged if it is about one-half inch wide. Symptoms caused by an infected lymph node or group of nodes may include:
Nodes that increase in size suddenly
Nodes that are painful to touch
Nodes that are soft or matted together
Redness or red streaking of the skin over nodes
Nodes that are filled with pus (an abscess)
Fluid that drains from the nodes to the skin
Lymphadenitis may also cause symptoms related to the underlying infection such as a sore throat, fever, night sweats, fatigue, or weight loss.
If you have lymphadenitis, the most important parts of your diagnosis are usually your history and the physical exam done by your doctor. You may be asked about symptoms you're feeling, such as chills and fever, any recent travel, any breaks in your skin, and recent contact with cats or other animals. Then, during the physical exam, your doctor will look for signs of infection near the enlarged lymph nodes.
These tests may be needed to help make the diagnosis:
Blood tests to look for infection
Taking a piece of the lymph node or fluid from inside the lymph node to study under a microscope
Placing fluid from the lymph node into a culture to see what type of germs grow
The exact type of treatment depends on what type of infection has spread into your lymph nodes. Once an infection has spread into some lymph nodes, it can spread quickly to others and to other parts of your body, so it's important to find the cause of the infection and start treatment quickly.
Treatment for lymphadenitis may include:
Antibiotics given by mouth or injection to fight an infection caused by bacteria
Medication to control pain and fever
Medication to reduce swelling
Surgery to drain a lymph node that has filled with pus
The best way to prevent lymphadenitis is to see your doctor at the first sign of any infection or if you notice a tender swelling that feels like a little lump just beneath your skin. Make sure to cleanse and use antiseptic on any scratches or breaks in your skin and always practice good hygiene.
Managing lymphadenitis
Take all your medications exactly as prescribed and keep all your follow-up appointments; don't use any over-the-counter medications without first talking to your doctor. Cool compresses and elevating the affected part of your body may help relieve pain and swelling while your medications are doing their work.
In most cases lymphadenitis clears up quickly with proper treatment, but it may take more time for lymph node swelling to go away. Be sure to let your doctor know if your lymphadenitis symptoms come back.

(CNN) -- "Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la" -- as the popular sing-along-song goes. So join CNN's Richard Quest, this December, as he goes in search of the festive spirit.
Quest takes a pilgrimage to Finnish Lapland.
However skeptical some of us may be, however jaded by increased commercialism, the festive season continues to celebrate humanity, like no other time.
Religious and cultural forces combine to make this a time for goodwill, nostalgia and hope. In this episode, Quest delves a little deeper into tradition to unearth the ingredients that make this time of year such an irresistible wave of fun and festivity.
In New York City, on the fourth Thursday of November -- it's Thanksgiving Day. After a chat with Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Quest ventures out into the crowds to enjoy the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.
This is a day of great significance for families all over North America, when siblings unite around a turkey dinner. If you're a New York fireman on duty, you cook up a feast with your 'brothers' -- we find plenty of hearty cheer at the fire station with "New York's Bravest." We also discover that this is a day of reflection for a squadron that lost more men than any other during the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001.
Next stop: Washington D.C. The First Lady, Laura Bush invites Quest into the hallowed halls of the White House for a fascinating insight into Christmas at the presidential home.
Across the other side of the world, India is preparing for Diwali, the last and biggest festival on the Hindu calendar. Known as the 'Festival of Light', it celebrates good over evil and ushers in the Indian New Year.
From the chaotic streets of Old Delhi to the private gardens of fashion guru Ritu Kumar, Quest soaks up the atmosphere and finds there's much to learn about Diwali.
Now fully gripped by festive fever, Quest takes centre stage in Vilnius, Lithuania -- in front of 25,000 people -- it's time to turn on the lights of the city's Christmas tree. Tennis ace Boris Becker takes us on a tour of the famous German Christmas markets and celebrity chef Nigella Lawson helps dish up some seasonal treats.
Back in New York City, the long-limbed ladies of the Rockettes are dancing to the tune of their 75th anniversary celebrations. Synonymous with festive entertainment, their 2007 extravaganza will attract 1.2 million people through the doors of the Radio City Music Hall---- Quest ventures backstage to find out why this time of year gives these girls such a kick.
In the heart of the American Midwest, Kansas City, Quest drops in to the radio station KUDL for a chance to play some of his favourite Christmas tunes. Then, with Bing Crosby still ringing in his ears, it's off to the HQ of Hallmark, to design the ultimate greeting card for none other than Santa Claus.
And so it is, that this festive journey ends with a pilgrimage to Finnish Lapland. For all those who no longer believe, a trip to Santa's village, nestled just inside the Arctic Circle, will go a long way to restoring the magic. Quest finds Santa in fine fettle but will he appreciate the card?
In our modern and often troubled times Quest hopes to find the festive spirit still alive and well. He suspects it lurks in all of us... So come on, let it out and tune in for this month's Quest for the Festive Spirit. E-mail to a friend

Edith Noyes Knight Meyer—known affectionately as "Nod"—passed away at her home in Rhode Island on December 7 at age 90. A friend and advocate of the Arnold Arboretum for three decades, Nod served as an essential and leading volunteer, particularly in support of propagation activities at the Dana Greenhouses. She will be remembered as a trusted advisor to three Arboretum directors, and a champion of the Arboretum's work in public horticulture and environmental education.
A skilled and passionate horticulturist and gardener her entire life, Nod first became involved with the Arboretum in the 1970s as a student in the Radcliffe Seminars in Landscape Design. She soon began taking classes at the Arboretum, and volunteering her time to help propagators at the Dana Greenhouses. For the next 25 years, Nod assisted Arboretum staff by planting seeds, rooting cuttings, and potting and repotting young saplings destined for the institution's world-renowned living collections. A seasoned world traveler, Nod often used her trips abroad to observe and learn about plants in their natural habitats, and even collected plant material on occasion for the Arboretum.
As an enthusiastic advocate for the Arboretum, Nod served on a number of leadership committees at the Arboretum including the Associates, a friends group started by Director Peter Ashton to raise funds for the Arboretum and organize its annual plant sale at the Case Estates in Weston. Nod continued to help organize the Arboretum's plant sales in the 1990s and early 2000s as chair of the Plant Sale Committee and captain of the Silent Auction.
Under the Directorship of Robert Cook, Nod was appointed as a member of the Arnold Arboretum Visiting Committee (1995 to 2001), a group selected to study and report on Arboretum activities for the Harvard University Board of Overseers. In 1994, Nod and her husband Henry established the Nature Study Fund for City Children, reflecting their shared interest in children's environmental education. Since that time, the Meyers' participation and generosity have enabled the Arboretum each year to host field studies for students from urban schools in Boston and Chelsea—as well as facilitate in-class science instruction at the Arboretum's neighborhood partner school, the Boston Teachers Union School.
Outside of the Arboretum, Nod's commitment to horticulture included serving as president of the New England unit of the Herb Society of America and as president of the Belmont Garden Club. As a member of the South County unit of the Garden Clubs of America, she was honored in 2003 as recipient of the Zone II Horticulture Award.
A memorial service will be held at St. Peters-by-the-Sea, 72 Central Street, Narragansett, RI, on December 12 at 11:00am [map]. Gifts in her memory may be made to the Arnold Arboretum to benefit horticulture and plant propagation.

The euro exchange rate has been on a tear since ECB President Mario Draghi's last press conference in January.
Many have been waiting to see how Draghi would respond today.
The ECB chief has been reiterating the ECB's accommodative monetary policy stance, and the euro is getting crushed.
It fell about 100 pips - from around 1.355 against the U.S. dollar to a low around 1.344.

Brief Synopsis
Pride and a lecherous ranch hand stand between an amorous cowboy and his farm girl sweetheart.
In Claremore, Oklahoma, in the early 1900s, cowboy Curly enjoys his morning horseback ride along a corn field belonging to Aunt Eller and her niece, Laurey Williams. When Curly arrives at their farmhouse, he presumes that Laurey will accept his invitation to the box social dance that night, so he asks Aunt Eller to join them. However, Laurey pretends to be uninterested and teases Curly that he has no appropriate transportation. Curly tries to entice Laurey by describing a surrey with silk fringe and red wheels that would be pulled by a team of snow-white horses. Laurey is so enamored with Curly's imaginary surrey that she becomes frustrated when his description concludes, and instead accepts the invitation of her surly farmhand, Jud Fry. Curly is offended, but still intends to take Aunt Eller. Later, Laurey privately admits to Aunt Eller that she would prefer Curly's company, but Jud refuses to let her out of her commitment. Aunt Eller then goes to the train station to meet Will Parker, a local cowboy returning by train from Kansas City with paper lanterns for the party. Will is elated because he has earned enough money in the city to marry his sweetheart, Ado Annie Carnes, whose father insists that any suitor possess at least fifty dollars. Will displays a risqué kaleidoscope purchased as a gift for Ado Annie's father, and then regales Aunt Eller and his friends with tales of the modern conveniences he experienced in the city, including telephones, indoor privies and gas-powered buggies. Ado Annie, meanwhile, has joined traveling salesman Ali Hakim on his wagon, and they stop to visit Laurey at the bathing pond. Ado Annie confesses to being an unrepentant flirt and that she has fallen in love Ali. Ali later succeeds in selling a bottle of exotic-sounding smelling salts to Laurey with the guarantee that they will help her make decisions. When Ado Annie learns that Ali is not interested in marriage moments before Will rides up and announces his intention to marry her, she is unable to resist Will's affection. Just then, dozens of buggies arrive with partygoers who are stopping at the farm for a respite from the road. Among them are Curly and his red-haired date, Gertie Cummings. When Laurey hears Gertie's horse-like laugh, she dramatically assures her friends that she is not jealous, but she still sheds a tear. When Ado Annie tells her father, Andrew Carnes, that Will has spent his earnings on gifts for her, Andrew cancels the engagement. A traditionalist, Andrew then insists that Ali marry Ado Annie after she reveals that the salesman has made romantic overtures. However, Andrew must aim the barrel of his shotgun at Ali to convince him. Laurey is too distracted by Gertie's presence to acknowledge Ado Annie's news of her engagement. Instead, Laurey picks a fight with Gertie over the merits of their respective gooseberry tarts. After Aunt Eller breaks them up, Laurey lingers in the peach orchard with Curly. They affectionately argue about who is in love with whom, and muse that they are the subject of rumors. Their romantic idyll ends when Laurey reluctantly admits that she cannot get out of her date with Jud. Curly then goes to see Jud in the smokehouse. Having assessed Jud as self-pitying and potentially dangerous, Curly uses subtle sarcasm to prod the vulnerable farmhand by imagining aloud how townfolk might mourn Jud's death. Jud suffers from feelings of class distinction, and explains that if he is wronged, he may take the lesson of another spurned hired hand who killed his faithless lover and her family by burning down their house. Despite a further warning from Jud, Curly declares his romantic intentions toward Laurey, and urges Jud to reform his unhealthy lifestyle. After an enraged Jud fires a warning gunshot into the ceiling, Curly proves his own marksmanship by shooting out a knothole in the cabin wall. The sound of gunfire draws a crowd that is dispersed by Aunt Eller after she ensures that the men are unharmed. Afterward, Laurey hears Jud shout that she had better not change her mind. Jud then attempts to buy a kaleidoscope with a hidden switchblade from Ali, but the concerned peddler has none in stock. After everyone leaves, Laurey feels torn between the two men. She sits in a rocking chair on the porch and takes a whiff of her smelling salts, then asks the elixir to help her decide between the two men. Laurey then closes her eyes and dreams: Laurey and Curly's romance leads to a wedding, but when her veil is lifted, she is horrified to discover that she has married Jud rather than Curly. Laurey berates herself and tries to embrace Curly, but he withdraws from her. Laurey then attempts to flee from Jud, but finds only a saloon filled with menacing dancehall women. Laurey is trapped there and, after being forced into Jud's arms, is then compelled to dance with the women. She soon escapes outside into a storm where she is rescued by Curly, who shoots Jud repeatedly. Instead of dying, an unharmed and powerful Jud attacks Curly and strangles him. Curly dies as a tornado touches ground nearby, and Jud carries Laurey away. Laurey awakens and is startled to discover Jud in front of her, telling her it is time to leave. [An Intermission divides the story at this point.] As the rest of the wagons head for the party, Jud lingers behind and confesses to Laurey his obsession with her. Laurey pulls away when he tries to embrace her, then grabs the reins and incites the horses to bolt. The horses run out of control for miles until a train frightens them. Jud calms the animals, but Laurey again grabs the reins and rides away without him. Everyone else is already at the party, which is hosted by the Skidmores. A brawl breaks out between the farmers and the ranchers and cowboys, who have been battling for land in the territory, but the fight abruptly ends when Aunt Eller fires a shot into the air. After the dance, Aunt Eller begins a charity auction for dinner baskets, the proceeds of which will benefit the school. Laurey arrives and is the last person to donate her basket. Will, meanwhile, confronts Ali, who conceives of a plan to get out of his engagement to Ado Annie by buying the gifts Will bought her, thereby replenishing Will's engagement fund. An angry Jud arrives moments later on foot and adds to Will's total by buying the kaleidoscope, which, unknown to Will, contains a switchblade. The auction winds down moments later to the hampers belonging to Ado Annie and Laurey. Will heedlessly bids all he has on Ado Annie's basket, forgetting that this will again ruin his chances of marrying her, but a desperate Ali saves him by outbidding him. Laurey's basket is the final item, and Jud outbids everyone by two-bits. He and Curly then get into a fierce bidding war during which Curly sells his saddle, his horse and his gun in order to beat Jud. After several tense moments, Aunt Eller declares that Curly is the victor. Jud then draws Curly aside to show him the kaleidoscope, intending to murder him. However, Ali sees what he is doing and warns Aunt Eller, who then purposely distracts Curly. While Will and Ado Annie wrestle with the concept of fidelity, Jud confronts Laurey and accuses her of snobbery. When she fires him, he warns her that she will never be rid of him. Later, Laurey admits to Curly that Jud has frightened her, and he promises to protect her. Curly then proposes marriage and Laurey accepts. Always the dreamer, Curly envisions starting a family as the Oklahoma territory earns its statehood. Will finally convinces Ado Annie to marry him by out-kissing her in front of Ali, whose kisses before his departure very nearly stole her heart again. Curly soon herds cattle for the last time before becoming a farmer, and he and Laurey marry. While Laurey and Curly pack for their honeymoon, Ali returns with Gertie, who announces that they too are newlyweds. Ali privately admits to Ado Annie that he only married Gertie after her father threatened him. As part of the wedding party's celebratory shivaree, Curly and Laurey stand atop a haystack while their friends toss up dolls as emblems of their future family. When a vengeful Jud sets fire to the haystack, Laurey and Curly are forced to jump off to save their lives. Curly purposely lands on top of Jud, and accidentally kills him when Jud falls on his own knife. Since the entire town is present, including Cord Elam, the local federal marshal, and Andrew, who is the local judge, Aunt Eller demands an immediate trial. Andrew finds Curly not guilty by reason of self-defense. Thereby cleared, Curly and Laurey leave for their honeymoon in a beautiful fringed surrey.

With only weeks left before the end of the 2012, most retailers already have their strategies in place to ensure success and growth for their business in the new year.
We've already detailed how retailers in the region are currently, optimistic about overall sales performance, but are still generally neglecting the opportunities found online.
As part of an analysis towards changing this mindset, there are three areas of focus that needs to be considered.
As part of Deloitte's Christmas Retailers' Survey, these areas were identified to be Digital, Talent and Finance – all of which are deemed to be priorities as the industry heads into a year likely filled with changes and challenges.
Analyst Rachel Smith warns that some retailers may need to seriously rethink their entire business model if they want to achieve high levels of competitiveness and performace:
Bricks and mortar store retailers are in the midst of a perfect storm – rethinking the traditional retail model will be vital to ensure not only your success but your long term survival.
The way in which retailers compete is dependent on their talent, resources and leverage. The challenges facing retailers are not insurmountable, but they will not be easy to overcome, either. For most, it will require a rethink of the traditional retail business model, particularly in three key areas.
Smith says the biggest priority in 2013 needs to be based around digital, emphasising that a strong strategic plan in this area is paramount in order for a retailer to succeed.
Businesses need to work on identifying their customers, understanding how they use existing technology and exploring what online channels are available, in order to be able to better target and communicate with them:
The time for considering whether to participate in the online market has passed: if you're in retail you must compete in this space.
While most retailers have a presence across online channels, few truly understand how consumers use the different channels in their purchasing journey, especially the growing medium of mobile commerce.
The customer service offered by any business can make a huge difference when it comes to winning and keeping customers – and cultivating great customer service (online and offline) needs to be a priority for Aussie retailers next year.
This is especially important in light of recent research which found that 40% of shoppers would spend more if offered a better customer experience.
Retailers that fail to invest in their staff also fail to invest in a quality customer experience – meaning lost sales. For smaller scale privately owned retailers, outstanding customer service can be a key differentiator.
While online retailers can offer a cheap and fast shopping experience, customers still crave information and the personalised service from a proficient and personable assistant.
Internal operation is also tied into this, with a need to be transparent with staff around business objectives, individual responsibilities are and how effort may be rewarded.
It's suggested that this can help improve productivity and employee engagement, which in turn increases customer loyalty and satisfaction.
Financial operations
The third priority listed is that of structured financial operations.
Although not then most exciting topic, retailers nevertheless need to focus more on their core business, while simultaenously eliminating under-performing formats, streamlining operations and consolidating support functions.
While the Australian dollar remains strong, Smith also proposes that businesses consider direct importing to improve gross margins, while also taking a hard look at locations:
Shifting the emphasis of supply chains may be worthwhile – specifically, taking advantage of lower costs in locations other than China and shifting some sourcing closer to final markets to reduce transport costs.

Texans quarterback Matt Schaub said Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh wasn't "Houston Texan-worthy" after his Thanksgiving Day kick to the crotch (which, if you think about it, might preclude Schaub from being sponge-worthy).
But one of Suh's biggest defenders didn't take kindly to Schaub taking shots at his guy.
"What is a Texan, anyhow?" Lions defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham began, via Carlos Monarrez of the Detroit Free Press.
"You never make derogatory statements about another player and another team," Cunningham said. "If you say that, then say it behind closed doors and keep it that way. But you don't come out in the paper and start saying things like that.
"And, you know, I'm sure Matt's a great guy and he got caught up in the emotions. And I'll forgive him for it — this time."
Suh's background as a turkey day stomper (which is worse than a jive turkey gobbler) doesn't help his cause, but Cunningham insisted it wasn't a deliberate kick and was eager to defend his defensive tackle.
"Any time you want me to," he said. "I will forever. There's no discussion on this defense. Shoot, who was it, [defense attorney] Melvin Belli? I'm not as good as him, but I'm pretty good at defending him.
"I saw the play. I agree whoever said it on national TV that he has to have eyes in the back of his head. That's the first thing I said. I thought I was ridiculous. I'm so tired of having to say things like that, but it's true.
"I coach football for living, I've done it for a long time. All kinds of things happen. He was trying to make a play and nobody talks about the guard talking him on the way to the quarterback. We get no call; they get a call — or he gets a fine, whatever it was."
While it's hard for the Lions to play the persecution card, Suh has become an easy target, and even innocuous acts are going to get a closer look because of his track record.

Jones Leads No. 2 Duke Past No. 16 Purdue 99-78
Courtesy: Associated Press
Release: 12/05/2013
And then the second-ranked Blue Devils' depth took over.
Alexis Jones scored to lead Duke in a 99-78 victory over No. 16 Purdue.
Blue Devils coach Joanne P. McCallie moved one win away from reaching 500 for her career, improving to 499-183. Duke (9-0) visits No. 17 Oklahoma on Sunday.
Chelsea Gray added 16 points for the Blue Devils. Haley Peters, who had sat out four games with a knee injury, and Elizabeth Williams had 14 points each, Tricia Liston scored 13 and Richa Jackson 11.
"From a team perspective, the second half was more what we were looking for defensively, rebounding-wise and also scoring-wise and attacking," McCallie said. "I loved the fact that we had 27 free-throw (attempts, hitting 18) and were so aggressive.
"And we went to the rack very hard. Chelsea (six rebounds) did it, Alexis (seven rebounds) did it and Elizabeth (six) did it, really kind of pushing through. I thought that was excellent."
K.K. Houser scored 20 points to lead Purdue (5-2). April Wilson had 14 and Whitney Bays 11.
Duke, which leads the series 6-3, is 6-1 overall in Big Ten/ACC Challenge games while Purdue is 1-6.
Duke shot 56 percent to Purdue's 39 percent and won the rebounding matchup 46-33.
"I thought our first half we played the best basketball we've played all year," Purdue coach Sharon Versyp said. "Then in the second half when we were down by four we went and missed three layups in a row and they got a 12-point lead.
"And then our shooting percentage in the second half (28.1) was very poor, and that allowed them to kill us by 13 rebounds."
The Blue Devils trailed 44-41 at halftime, their first deficit at the break this season. The Boilermakers gave Duke its largest deficit of the season at 26-17 on a three-point play from Bays with 11:07 to go in the half.
Jones had 10 points at halftime.
"I'm more confident about myself than last season and just more aggressive," said Jones, who as a freshman was MVP of the ACC Tournament in March. "I thought Chelsea's injury last year (out after Feb. 14 with a knee injury) brought out my personality, because I had to get out of my comfort zone."
Gray was once again a stat-sheet stuffer for Duke with nine assists.
"In the first half we couldn't stop them at all," Gray said. "Rebounding-wise, we weren't even on the boards, and those things were hurting us. We don't really focus too much on scoring because that's just got to come."
Purdue led 57-56 after Bays' layup with 14:47 to go. But the fresher Blue Devils took the lead at 14:23 on a three-point play from Jones, extending the run to 18-5 with two 3s from Peters and one from Gray.
"The knee felt really good during the game," said Peters, who resumed full workouts on Tuesday after suffering the injury Nov. 21 against Vanderbilt. "Once it warmed up I didn't really feel it at all. I think it might have affected my shooting mentally a little bit, but it didn't hurt."
