Road win for SHS
Sturgis broke a 30-30 tie midway through the fourth quarter and pulled away to a 42-32 over host Bronson in girls basketball Tuesday.
"We did the things we needed to in the second half to get the win tonight," Trojan coach Brian Beebe said.
Sturgis took the lead of a basket by Courtney Lovelace off a pass from Rachel Anderson with 4:02 left in the game.
"I thought we had a lot of chances in the fourth quarter," Viking coach Andy Hatt said. "We didn't hit shots, and give them credit, they hit some shots and finished us off."
Sturgis closed with a 12-2 run including a putback bucket by Anderson with just under 50 seconds left that pushed the lead to 39-32.
"Rachel had a couple offensive rebounds off of rebounds that were huge," Beebe said. "One of the things we talked about at the half was that our posts needed to get second shots. I thought Bronson did a good job of boxing us out (in the first half) and I thought we did a better job in the second half of controlling both ends."
Four early points by Bronson's Mallorie Bassage gave her team a 4-0 edge.
The Trojans answered with a 3-pointer by Arianna George and a rebound basket by Nicolette Nelson to grab a 5-4 lead.
It was the first of four lead changes that gave the Lady Vikings a 9-8 edge after one period.
Kelsey Scheenks gave Bronson its' largest lead, 17-11, hitting a baseline jumper with 3:25 left in the second quarter.
But Sturgis was able to tie the game at 17-17 by halftime after a basket by Anderson.
"I thought we did some good things, but we had some mental lapses that led to some of their points.," Hatt said. "Give them credit, they took advantage of it."
A pair of triples by Marissa Parker off of in-and-out feeds helped the Lady Trojans to a 26-18 advantage.
"The great part about this crew is that we have willing passers," Beebe said. "Everyone is happy to pass the ball. Arianna hit a couple of threes in the first half, Parker had a couple of threes that were huge in the third quarter."
Sturgis still led 28-25 after three quarters, but Bronson was able to tie the game at 30-30 with 4:36 to go after a free throw by Bassage.
"We put a pretty good run on them in the third quarter and they did a good job of answering back," Beebe said. "All credit to Bronson, in that third quarter and early in the fourth, they gave us all we wanted."
Hatt was pleased with his team's comeback.
"I thought our energy when we got down eight was bad," he said. "I called a timeout and challenged them a little bit and they responded, which is nice to see. But we just ran out of gas."
Beebe felt that the Trojans did a better job of handling the Viking press.
"They have athletes that pushed us to the brink and we did great job of handling pressure," he said. "The issue for us is valuing the basketball and we did a much better job down the stretch when we had to. Not beating the press with dribble, but with passing and we did a much better job in the second half."
The defense threw different looks and made stops down the stretch.
"We got a lot of stops in zone and in man when we needed to," Beebe said. "The more we mix it up, especially with our posts, the better we are defensively."
The Trojans got help from the entire team, according to Beebe.
"We got contributions from everybody," he said. "Megan Courtney played her best game of the year, which we needed because Nikki was in foul trouble. (Morgan) Pueschel was great off the bench, (Kayla) Nichols made a great baseline drive in the second quarter when we were kind of teetering offensively. Courtney (Lovelace) had some key defensively plays in the fourth quarter."
Parker topped the Trojans with 11 points, Anderson tossed in nine, George finished with eight, Lovelace scored six, Nelson added four and Nichols and Courtney each had two.
Skyler Sobeski and Bassage led the Viking with six each, Scheenks ended with four, Kinslea Blouin, Amberly Bercaw, Kylei Ratkowski and Liz Baker each added three and Kassidy Bystry and Grace Pyles each had two.
Bronson held a 28-25 on the boards.
Sobeski grabbed eight to lead Bronson, while Anderson had seven for Sturgis. Scheenks handed out three assists for the Vikings, while Parker and Anderson each had three for the Trojans.
Bronson won the junior varsity contest, 39-28.
Makayla Sikorski had a double-double of 13 points and 10 rebound to top the Vikings, while Alexa Ratkowski tossed in 10 and Hannah Hoover added six.
Sturgis was led by Annalisa Cholometes with 11 points and Alaina Cholometes added five.

This is a guest post from Jessamyn Smith, an open source developer in Portland who tweets at @jessamynsmith and blogs at Dreamwidth. Read on to find out her technological solution to annoying sexist jokes.
I work at a startup, and most of the time, I enjoy it. Compared to most tech companies, and certainly most startups, we have quite a few people who are relatively clueful. There are relatively few moments of "brogrammer" culture. There is, however, one thing that has been bugging me for months, ever since it was introduced.
I took it for granted that everyone was familiar with the "That's what she said," joke, but a recent conversation with a consultant friend made me realize some industries don't feature it on a daily basis. For those who haven't heard it a million times, the idea is that when somebody says something that could remotely be turned into a sexual joke, e.g. "I'm trying to solve this problem but it's really hard!" you say "That's what SHE said," in a lascivious tone.
Now, I admit to having made this joke myself, at times. Once in a while, I even find it funny. What I don't find funny is a bot we have in our general IRC channel at work, that has some basic AI devoted to determining when to interject TWSS into the conversation.
I asked a number of times to have that bot function turned off, but got the usual combination of being ignored, being told it's funny, and being told I should lighten up. I tried explaining once why it was objectionable, and managed to get the guys saying variations, e.g. "That's what your DAD said," for an evening, but that was about it.
Last Friday, the bot went a bit crazy and started throwing TWSS into the conversation with no apparent rhyme or reason. Finally, I had had enough. And then it came to me: I would write my OWN bot, that responded to TWSS with a quotation from a notable woman. If they are so keen on what she said, why don't we get educated about what she really had to say. And so the "whatshereallysaid" bot was born. It might annoy the guys into shutting off the TWSS bot, or we might all learn about notable women. It's a win either way, in my books!
I'd never written a bot, but how hard could it be? Python is my primary programming language these days, so I started searching for Python IRC bots. I tried a few different libraries before setting on twisted. I found a very nice example of a logging bot using twisted , and went from there.
Step 1: I copied the LogBot code into local files, and tried running it. Since the IRC channels I am normally in use SSL, I had to set up my own channel on a public IRC server for testing. It took a while to get the settings right, but finally I succeeded!
Step 2: I created a quotes file and put in a couple of my favorite quotes to test with. I created class to randomly select a quote from the file. I modified the log bot so that if you said its name, it would get a quote and post it to the channel.
Step 3: My ultimate goal was to put the bot in the work channel, so I needed it to support SSL. I found a stackoverflow thread about using a different connect function, one for SSL. Again, it took me some time to get the settings right, but eventually I got the bot to connect to the work IRC server.
Step 4: Now I needed more quotes! I found an excellent website of quotes by women and wrote a small script to scrape the quotes. I used the excellent python requests library. The script got the content of the main links page, and iterated over the links, using a regular expression to get the name and then following the link to the quotes page. Then it pulled the quotes out of the page content and stored them in a text file, one per line, with the woman's name attached.
Step 5: I set up my own private channel and had my bot connect. I tested it to verify it was correctly noticing and responding to trigger phrases. Once I was confident of that, I tried in the general chat channel. Success!
Step 6: I cleaned up the code, removing everything unrelated to posting quotes, and adding a settings file. I made the trigger phrases configurable. I also added a virtualenv. I felt the project was now in good enough shape to post publicly, so I shared it on github.
Step 7: At this point, I was still running the bot on my own computer, which was clearly non-ideal. I wanted it to be in the channel all the time, not just when I was logged in! I found a python daemon implementation and made my bot run through that. Perfect! Now I could run it from one of the development servers at work.
Step 8: Unit tests, of course! No project is complete without them. I only have tests on the quote selector so far, but I am going to set up some mock tests on the bot logic.
Originally, I had called the project "whatshereallysaid", but as I was working, I realized this could be much more broadly applied. Anyone could clone my github project and configure a bot to respond to whatever annoying comments they had to put up with. Inspired by "take back the night" and "hollaback", I decided to rename the project "talkbackbot".
I finished all this rather late on Friday night, so there was nobody around. I waited with anticipation to see what the response would be. To my surprise, many coworkers complimented me on creating the bot, including some I would never have guessed would appreciate it. Some people even retweeted my announcement that the bot was available on github.
It has been fascinating to watch the ongoing reactions. There have been complaints that we have too many bots in the channel now. There have been complaints about it spamming the channel. There were several "Make them shut up!" responses. These are not reactions I have seen the other bots elicit, certainly not with such intensity. One person even complained about the name being too long, though to his credit he realized right after he said that that several other people in the channel also have very long handles.
To me, all of this seems like typical geek behaviour: something is making them uncomfortable, and so they attack it on "rational" grounds. Most likely, they aren't even aware of the gut reaction fueling their logic. Interestingly, the intensity of emotion seemed to carry over into subsequent discussions, including one about women in the Python community. For the most part, I have not responded to the comments. I did shorten the bot's name to "twsrs", and I pointed out that it's trivially easy to have the bot not say anything: don't say TWSS.
In any case, I feel that I have succeeded in constructively disrupting an aspect of my work culture that made me uncomfortable. This is the first personal project I've ever thought of, coded, and made public, and I am pretty excited about it! It makes me so happy every time the other bot says "that's what she said," and my bot responds with something like:
Our struggle today is not to have a female Einstein get appointed as an assistant professor. It is for a woman schlemiel to get as quickly promoted as a male schlemiel. ~ Bella Abzug
One of the most hilarious responses was a guy saying he was going to say TWSS a lot more, so he could get more quotes! I decided to add another trigger phrase just for him, since the last thing I want to do is encourage *more* TWSS!

Something to be happy about Reds fans
We don't have to worry about Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips free agent talks this off-season. And from looking over the contracts, Cincinnati Reds are looking very good on paper for 2013. With most players returning and rumors already floating around that Walt Jocketty and staff are trying to re-sign Scott Rolen and Ryan Ludwick, along with Dusty Baker / coaching staff being solved very quickly too.
The postseason did not end the way we all wanted but the season was one of the best I have seen in many years as a Reds fan and I am really looking forward to the future, with players like Tony Cingrani, Billy Hamilton, Zack Cozart and Todd Frazier. And it looks like one of the Reds gambles has really paid off nicely; Homer Bailey!!! If he continues to pitch like he did in the end of 2012 the Reds will have a very solid starting rotation for many seasons to come.

Thank you all for your words of comfort and virtual hugs. I came to you from a very vulnerable place and your words held me strong throughout some pretty dark hours. Some comfort came from learning that since he was an organ donor, my cousin's heart is beating for someone else. This bit of news calms some of my anger.
Kuddos to our super awesome assistant and kitchen manager Laura who kept us well fed and organized. Could not have done it without her! It was pretty much non stop action in the kitchen. I can't believe she's moving at the end of the month!!
I am really glad that Clare, her husband Joe and their pup Nina stayed a couple of days after the workshop. Our husbands developed a similar friendship to ours while we were at the beach house workshopping. We knew they would. They are awesome guys...!

S-Cardenfreude: Nothing But Ryan Theriot Screwing Up
It's fun to remember back to last offseason around this time when the St. Louis Cardinals picked up Ryan Theriot to be their starting shortstop. We were all to familiar with Theriot's limitations, so the prospect of him manning the most important position on the diamond for the Cards was a chuckle-inducing happy fest.
And then the Cardinals won the World Series. Motherf….
At least part of that was due to picking up Rafael Furcal midseason to take over at short, though. So, I guess it's still OK to laugh at Theriot as a Cardinal.
To that end, here is a video of nothing but Ryan Theriot screwing up (use that link if you can't see the embed – and, apologies in advance if the video is taken down):

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico's animal health agency says a bird flu outbreak at seven farms in central Mexico has affected as many as 582,000 chickens.
The Agriculture Department says more than a half million birds were exposed, but the number that will have to be slaughtered has yet to be determined.
An outbreak of the H7N3 bird flu virus in western Mexico in 2012 led to the slaughter of more than 22 million hens and caused price increases in chicken and egg products.
But the department said Friday that the current outbreak has not affected the supply of chicken products.
It said tests were continuing to determine the exact strain of virus involved in the outbreak, but said it did not affect humans.
Mexico's nationwide flock amounts to 137 million birds.

The National Security Agency has collected a vast number of digital photos from Internet traffic and the internal networks of foreign governments in order to identify and track persons of interest, according to a report by The New York Times. The images, reportedly extracted from Internet traffic such as e-mail messages and from video conferencing streams, have been used as part of the NSA's "Identity Intelligence" (I2) program to "track, exploit, and identify targets of interest," according to a 2011 NSA presentation slide.
According to the documents cited by the Times, the agency began performing facial recognition searches using captured images in 2010, matching photos in Pinwale (the NSA's longterm store of captured content from external sources) and a terrorist watch list database called Tide. By 2011, the NSA was capturing millions of images daily—and of those, about 55,000 images are "facial recognition quality." And the NSA expanded its collection and cross-referencing of facial images, pulling from CIA and State Department data from the border crossing stations of a number of countries, as well as airline passenger data and foreign national identity card databases. According to the NSA documents, in 2011 the agency was trying to gain access to the national identity card databases of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Iran.
All of these sources can be used to help identify images mined with Wellspring, the NSA's program that extracts images from Internet communications and calls out those that appear to be passport images or other ID photos. Indexes for images have been built using a combination of internally developed facial recognition software and technology from Pittsburgh Pattern Recognition (PittPatt)—a firm acquired by Google in 2011. Other software allows the NSA to match the details of outdoor photos with satellite and aerial imagery to pinpoint where the photos were taken.
The fishing's getting (a little) harder
The NSA's collection efforts here are focused on individuals and organizations that have been specifically "tasked" or on images collected from databases that have a high value as facial recognition targets. Collecting those images requires a lot more than just skimming Internet traffic.
When the NSA began its facial recognition efforts, the technology of facial recognition was still experiencing growing pains, but capturing images from Internet traffic was fairly easy, thanks to the lack of protection from encryption on many Internet services—and the NSA's active efforts to gather data from within the networks of those services that did offer encryption for Web clients.
Of the major Web mail providers, only Google was providing SSL encryption at the beginning of 2010. Microsoft added SSL encryption to Hotmail in November of 2010. But SSL wasn't even an option for Yahoo mail until early in 2013—and Yahoo didn't turn it on by default until October of 2013.
As part of a collaborative project with National Public Radio and penetration testing provider Pwnie Express—the results of which we'll publish later this week—we took a look at what sort of content could be fished out of Internet traffic from major Web and mobile services today. Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Facebook now all encrypt images and other content from servers to Web browsers—though there are some exceptions in the mobile realm.
Facebook, for example, encrypts all the images transmitted from its content delivery network to users' browsers, though the images can still be reached through an unencrypted interface. During our testing, Pwnie Express founder and CTO Dave Porcello found that on an Android 4.1.1 "Jelly Bean" device—admittedly an older phone, but still in wide use—Facebook profile pictures and images were transmitted unencrypted to the Facebook app. Our tests on newer platforms found that the images were encrypted.
However, the NSA doesn't necessarily have to pull images from raw Internet traffic to build its database—particularly for individuals outside the US who are the subject of a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court warrant. The NSA, through the FBI, could simply order service providers to hand over images associated with specific accounts. And a few overseas Web mail providers don't use encryption by default yet, leaving their services exposed to the passive capture of contents.
On the other side of the problem is facial recognition technology itself. The Times' report indicates that, while the NSA had some successes with facial recognition early, the technology suffered from a high "false positive" rate. A 2011 presentation viewed by the Times showed that for a query using an image of Osama Bin Laden, the NSA's system returned photos of four men who shared only one obvious facial characteristic with the Al Qaeda leader—a beard.
The problems with facial recognition technology based on ID card databases were demonstrated by the manhunt for the Boston Marathon bombers. While the technology has advanced recently, much of the recognition capability is dependent on the angle and quality of the two images. On many current systems, even matching photos taken from the same angle can be made more difficult by variations in lighting and resolution.
But faces aren't the only piece of data that the NSA works with in correlating images with individuals. There's a great deal of contextual data that can be collected along with images—especially those pulled from the databases of foreign governments and from e-mail—that can be used to identify individuals in them and help to build a library of related images that could generate more accurate results.

Cardinals' injury list keeps growing
By HAL PILGER
The St. Louis Cardinals ended the month of June with a distinction they would rather not have - an extensive list of players who already had become disabled this season.
Eight members of the Cardinals were on the D.L. entering weekend play, including five pitchers - JOSH KINNEY (right elbow surgery on March 23, 78 games missed); MARK MULDER (left shoulder surgery, March 23, 78 games); CHRIS CARPENTER (right elbow surgery, April 2, 77 games); BRADEN LOOPER (right shoulder strain, June 6, 14 games); and TYLER JOHNSON (left bicep, June 19, 11 games).
Three others still on the list as of Friday included outfielders PRESTON WILSON (right knee surgery May 6, 50 games) and JIM EDMONDS (lower back, May 16, 14 games), plus shortstop DAVID ECKSTEIN (lower back spasms, June 14, 16 games).
Eckstein and Looper appeared very close to returning, while Carpenter - out since his opening day start - worked three innings and threw 34 pitches on Wednesday in a simulated game at the Cardinals training complex in Jupiter, Fla.
Also disabled this season was catcher YADIER MOLINA, who was activated Thursday after missing 26 games with a non-displaced left wrist fracture suffered May 29.
Cardinals manager TONY LA RUSSA said Molina, before getting injured, "was playing as good as any catcher in baseball," noting while the backstop was batting .273 with one home run and 12 RBIs in 41 games, his defensive play and handling of the Cardinals pitching staff were vital contributions.
While some Cardinals players were getting healthy, another - infielder SCOTT SPIEZIO - was hospitalized Wednesday with an infection of his left index finger and received intravenous antibiotics for the condition. He remained in a New York hospital on Thursday and was expected to be released on Friday, but Cardinals general manager WALT JOCKETTY indicated Spiezio probably would return to St. Louis rather than rejoin the team for the weekend series in Cincinnati.
n CARDS QUIZ: When CHRIS DUNCAN belted his second pinch-hit home run of the season on June 16 at Oakland, it came with the bases loaded. When was the last time the Cardinals had a pinch-hit grand-slam? Answer below.
n SENT DOWN: To make room for Molina's return, the Cardinals outrighted catcher KELLY STINNETT to their Class AAA Memphis club. Since joining the Cardinals earlier this season, Stinnett was batting only .182 with one home run and four RBIs in 44 at-bats.
n SO LONG, STREAK: Outfielder SO TAGUCHI ended his career-high 18-game hitting streak in Wednesday night's rain-shortened loss at New York, going 0-for-3 with three ground-outs off winner TOM GLAVINE.
Taguchi hit .357 during his streak (25-for-70) and matched JUAN ENCARNACION's 18-gamer as the longest streaks by a St. Louis player this season. Molina had a 15-game hitting streak early this season.
n CLOSING TIME: Closer JASON ISRINGHAUSEN suffered only his second blown save in 16 chances Tuesday night at Shea Stadium - his first blown save since April 22 at Chicago.
Izzy's 1.72 ERA entering the weekend was second among Cards relievers (to RYAN FRANKLIN's 1.43) with 15 or more innings pitched. Izzy had been scored upon in just five of his 30 outings, and five times he had pitched more than an inning. He also had been used in 14 games that were not save situations
Isringhausen entered the weekend with 263 career saves and was 24th on baseball's all-time saves list.
n MILES MARKERS: Infielder AARON MILES had collected two or more hits in five of his last 10 starts entering weekend play. He had hits in 15 of the last 18 games he had appeared in, and he was batting .406 (26-for-64) with multi-hit games in seven of those contests.
n QUIZ ANSWER: Duncan's recent pinch-hit grand slam was the first for the Cardinals since BOBBY BONILLA blasted one during the 2001 season.
n END QUOTE: Starter ANTHONY REYES, quoted on mlb.com, after yielding just two hits and two runs but falling to 0-10 when Wednesday's game at New York ended after 5½ innings because of rain: "It's just my luck, I guess, right now. I guess now it's just kind of biting me."

About a dozen congressional staffers flew business class on a trip to China last summer and stayed at luxury hotels while touring the Great Wall and the Forbidden City and receiving a "briefing on ancient artifacts and dynasties" at the Shanghai Museum.
The all-expenses-paid visit came courtesy of China. The Chinese government hosted a day of meetings with officials in Beijing followed by eight days packed with outings to destinations often frequented by tourists along with a stop at a missile frigate and two others related to national security — the official theme of the trip.
More and more foreign governments are sponsoring such excursions for lawmakers and their staffs, though an overhaul of ethics rules adopted by Congress five years ago banned them from going on most other types of free trips. This overseas travel is often arranged by lobbyists for foreign governments, though lobbyists were barred from organizing other types of congressional trips out of concern that the trips could be used to buy favor.
The overseas travel is covered by an exemption Congress granted itself for trips deemed to be cultural exchanges.
A Washington Post examination of congressional disclosures revealed the extent of this congressional travel for the first time, finding that Hill staffers had reported taking 803 such trips in the six years ending in 2011. Lawmakers themselves are increasingly participating, disclosing 21 trips in 2011, more than double the figure in prior years.
The number of congressional trips could be far higher, because only lawmakers and senior congressional staff members are required to disclose the travel. A former senior aide on a congressional committee said that junior staffers were usually sent on the trips because they rarely had the chance to take official trips paid for by the U.S. government.
Some Hill employees have gone on repeated trips to the same country, and others chain them together, traveling directly from one expenses-paid visit to another.
China is by far the biggest sponsor of these trips, with senior staffers reporting more than 200 trips there over the six-year period, according to The Post's review of 130,000 pages of disclosures collected by the Web site LegiStorm. Taiwan accounts for an additional 100 trips.
But other regions of the world are also well represented.
On a trip to Jordan, for instance, congressional staffers stayed at the Four Seasons in Amman, where they received an audience with the king. The group also visited the Dead Sea and the famed mosaics in Madaba and spent two days at the ancient cities of Petra and Jerash, according to an itinerary for the trip.
In Switzerland, staffers took a helicopter ride through the Alps to Monte Bre, hiking up the mountain for coffee at a summit cafe overlooking a lake, according to another itinerary.
Organizers of the trips say they're an important way for U.S. government staff members to learn about the world with no cost to taxpayers. The trips are supposed to include visits to historical and cultural sites, including those frequented by tourists, to foster international understanding.
"We view these trips as being very meaningful and very productive," said Richard Quick, who organizes the China-funded trips through the U.S.-Asia Foundation. "We try and learn more about the history and culture of the country. . . . It's a much broader view."
Detractors say the trips often amount to propaganda junkets that create a blatant conflict of interest for the Hill staff members who take them.
"Lots of things are allowed on these foreign trips that are not allowed on any other kind of trip," said Jock Friedly, the founder of LegiStorm, a congressional-transparency Web site. "It's clear that the countries on the other end get a lot out of this."
The trips highlight inconsistencies in tough ethics rules Congress set for itself. Although registered foreign lobbyists can't buy a $2 cup of coffee for a congressional staffer in Washington, they are allowed to invite, plan and accompany a staffer on a trip costing $10,000 or more. Nor is there any requirement about how much time is spent on work related to Congress.
Congress overhauled the rules for travel after the 2005 scandal involving lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who had paid for lavish trips for several lawmakers and their families before his 2006 guilty plea on fraud and bribery charges. After Democrats won control of Congress in midterm elections, they passed legislation governing the rules for travel funded by organizations that hire lobbyists, requiring pre-approval of trip itineraries and limiting travel to a single day.
For travel sponsored by companies and other private interests, staffers must submit itineraries to House and Senate ethics committees for approval before departing and also make a full accounting of costs after the trip has concluded. The rules continue to tighten: starting in April, lawmakers and staff will have to submit trips for pre-approval even earlier — 30 days beforehand, up from 14.
By contrast, the costs, itineraries and other details for cultural-exchange trips are not disclosed. When costs are voluntarily added to disclosure forms, they typically run about $10,000 for a week-long trip, including first-class or business-class airfare.
More than a dozen countries have employed lobbyists to help strategize or recruit staffers to attend the trips, according to lobbying disclosures filed with the Justice Department.
One foreign lobbyist who helped set up cultural exchanges said the trips were an effective way to make Hill staff sympathetic to the host country's issues in Congress.
"People would come back and they would think a little different," said the lobbyist, who requested anonymity for his client.
Lobbyists for foreign countries use the trips to build relationships with staffers and often contact them about legislative business after the trips are over, public records show. More than 200 times from 2008 to 2010, staffers who went on the foreign trips were contacted by lobbyists for the host country to talk about legislation or issues concerning trade and foreign relations, according to a Post analysis of foreign lobbying data provided by the Sunlight Foundation.
Justice Department records show, for instance, that a lobbyist for Cyprus, Christy Stefadouros, traveled with 14 congressional staffers on a trip to that country in 2009. In the year after the trip, the Sunlight Foundation records show, she contacted her traveling companions 61 times, discussing bilateral relations.
Stefadouros did not respond to a request for comment.
Lobbyists for China, South Korea and Panama each contacted Angela Ellard, a trade expert for Republicans on the House's tax-writing committee, in the years after she took trips to those countries, records show.
"This was official and substantive government work that, among other things, helped lead to the successful passage of trade agreements with both Panama and South Korea," committee spokeswoman Sarah Swinehart said in an e-mailed statement.
In August 2010, about a dozen staffers from both parties set out for a trip to China, organized by the U.S.-Asia Foundation, a nonprofit organization headquartered in Washington with the mission of promoting dialogue between Washington and Beijing.
Joining them on the trip was a lobbyist for United Parcel Service, which is a corporate member of the foundation. "We were on that trip because we have business in China and we are trying to grow our business there," said UPS spokeswoman Kara Ross. "It helps because you make connections when you're over there meeting with people."
Although lobbyists for U.S. companies are banned from accompanying congressional aides on travel paid for by firms and other private interests, those rules are waived for cultural-exchange trips.
The traveling party checked into the Ritz-Carlton in Beijing. On the first day, the staffers held meetings with government officials, according to an itinerary of the trip provided by the foundation and interviews with several participants. That evening, the visitors attended a banquet hosted by the Chinese government, featuring local dishes and frequent toasts with shots of Moutai, a traditional Chinese liquor served in white porcelain bottles.
The next morning, the group visited the sites of two other corporate sponsors of the foundation: a Wal-Mart store and a Microsoft research facility. About 30 local Wal-Mart employees in uniform sang a song for the group and held a banner welcoming them to the store. After lunch, the group went to the Great Wall and received a "briefing on ancient Chinese defense work."
Over the following days, the congressional staffers visited the Forbidden City and the ancient imperial palace in the center of Beijing. They toured the countryside, seeing ethnic-minority villages and an 18th-century pavilion, among other sites, and took a walk behind the largest waterfall in Asia.
In Shanghai, after meeting U.S. consulate and trade officials, the visitors took an evening boat tour along the Bund, a historic area of downtown. The next day, the group got a VIP tour of the Shanghai World Expo, bypassing lines of tourists to visit pavilions sponsored by different countries as well as Coca-Cola, which was a donor to the foundation, and General Motors. The next day, the group toured the historic Yu Yuan gardens and in the afternoon, saw "the development of Shanghai on Nanjing Road," the city's main shopping street.
Helping to lead the group was Ed McDonald, chief of staff for Rep. Howard Coble (R-N.C.). He recruited other Hill staffers and served as the point person in meetings with the Chinese.
McDonald has taken at least six trips to China and disclosed 13 trips abroad from 2006 to 2011, more than all but one other Hill staffer, records show. He said the trips have helped him form relationships with staffers and foreign diplomats. The visits have also helped him track China's rapid economic growth firsthand, he said, aiding Coble's role as head of a subcommittee on intellectual property protection.
"We need to be informed," McDonald said in an interview. "As the congressman's chief of staff, I'm his top policy adviser, so it's important to learn about as many issues as I can."
After the 2010 trip was over, most staffers returned to Washington. McDonald flew on to Bangkok to begin a cultural-exchange trip there courtesy of the Thai government.
Quick, who runs the U.S.-Asia Foundation, said excursions to places like Nanjing Road in Shanghai are necessary to give a comprehensive view of the Chinese culture and economy. He noted that the tours don't go to resorts or other purely recreational locales.
Quick said the trips were started at the request of two former senior lawmakers, Sen. Hugh Scott (R-Pa.), a minority leader in the Senate for nearly a decade, and Rep. Thomas Morgan (D-Pa.), a onetime chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. About 70 Hill employees travel with the foundation annually, on trips with themes such as national defense and intellectual property.
"Our singular goal is to make this a meaningful and productive experience for the staffers," Quick said. "We're very proud of the work that we've done and the programs that we've organized."
Under the ethics rules set by Congress, all funding in support of the cultural-exchange trips must come from foreign governments, in this case China. But the foundation that arranges the trips has its own corporate sponsors, such as Wal-Mart.
A Wal-Mart spokeswoman, Brooke Buchanan, said the company funds the U.S.-Asia Foundation to reach congressional staffers. "We look at it as an opportunity to talk about Wal-Mart," Buchanan said.
The foundation is one of four U.S. nonprofit groups that organize similar trips to China. Another one, the U.S.-China Policy Foundation, has donors including FedEx, Hershey and drug-maker Amgen as well as Chinese companies, according to the group's Web site.
General Motors was not a member of the U.S.-Asia Foundation in 2010, when staffers visited the firm's pavilion at the Shanghai expo, but it is today. "Anything we can do to educate lawmakers and staff on how a global business works is worth it," said spokeswoman Heather Rosenker. "It's smart business practice."
When the ethics reform bill passed the House and Senate, the legislation made no mention of foreign-financed cultural-exchange trips, but Democratic leadership inserted a specific exemption for them in the final bill just before passage, according to copies of the legislation.
The State Department, which oversees cultural-exchange trips under a 1961 law called the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act, makes no accounting of who travels under the program or what happens while they are overseas.
State Department officials say restrictions are not put on cultural-exchange trips to other countries because of U.S. government concern that such restrictions might limit other types of exchanges. The department spends about $600 million a year on its cultural-exchange bureau, including funding for academic awards such as Fulbright scholarships for Americans and foreigners. Many other government departments — from the National Park Service to the Office of Government Ethics — run their own international exchange programs for foreigners.
Oversight of exchange trips for congressional staff falls into a bureaucratic no-man's land. Under rules written by Congress, the ethics committees in the House and Senate can only check to make sure that trips are approved by the State Department. A State Department official said that it's up to the congressional ethics offices to review what happens during the travel.
When approving trips sponsored by U.S. companies and other interests, the congressional ethics committees vet itineraries to make sure they don't include entertainment or "recreational activities." By contrast, those appear to be an integral part of cultural-exchange trips, which face no such restrictions.
On a 2011 trip to Thailand, for instance, staffers spent an afternoon at the beach at Hua Hin, a resort town frequented by the Thai royal family. They also had lunch at a winery and visited an elephant preserve.
Most trips to Thailand include a visit to the massage school at Wat Pho and an inexpensive tailor where staffers can buy suits and dresses, said an official in the Thai Embassy's political section.
"Like other countries, we want them to know an overview about Thailand," the official said. "Especially, we become friends so we know each other."

The internet is perhaps the greatest disruptor of the twentieth century, despite only rising to relevance at its close. Today it remains a perplexing problem to politicians, justices, and business-people alike.
I. Internet Disrupts, Leads to Punitive Reactionary Efforts
Perhaps no internet controversy represents the confusion and mire of digital rights and law enforcement better than the legal precedent of equating internet protocol (IP) addresses to a human being.
For years U.S. courts allowed copyright "attack dog" organizations like the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) to use this principle in threat letter schemes — which many advocates argue were digital age extortion. The issue is that internet proxies are not people. Indeed, a large percentage of networks — be they secured or unsecured — have multiple users, making the RIAA's view of pinning infringement on the IP owner a problematic oversimplification.
Piracy has led to an arguably abusive response from content creators. [Image Source: RIAA]
And that's not to mention the pervasive hacking of wireless networks across the U.S. (or in many cases simple squatting on unsecured networks) — a practice that likely has led to many of the RIAA, et al.'s more flagrant efforts, such as threat letters to dead people or the elderly. The ease with which the majority of secured private wireless networks can be penetrated further calls into question enforcing infringement on an IP basis.
The legal system is finally waking up to that reality.
II. Adult Filmmakers' Threat Letter Bid Killed
In a recent ruling in a case regarding RIAA-esque extortion efforts by a group of lawyers representing adult filmmakers, New York Eastern District federal court magistrate Judge Gary Brown blasted the idea of presenting infringing IPs as sufficient evidence to demand money from individuals or take them to court.
K-Beech – Order & Report & Recommendation (Ordered 5-1-12)
(To be fair not everyone in the adult film industry agrees with threatening possible pirates. Some view it as free promotion.)
III. Highlights
Judge Brown warns the plaintifffs that IPs are not sufficient evidence to prosecute, stating:
John Doe #16 has stated that he was at work at the time of the alleged download. John Doe #2 states under oath that he closed the subject Earthlink account, which had been compromised by a hacker, before the alleged download. John Doe #29's counsel represents that his client is an octogenarian with neither the wherewithal nor the interest in using BitTorrent to download Gang Bang Virgins. John Doe #10 represents that downloading a copy of this film is contrary to her "religious, moral, ethical and personal views." Equally important, she notes that her wireless router was not secured and she lives near a municipal parking lot, thus providing access to countless neighbors and passersby.
While a decade ago, home wireless networks were nearly non-existent, 61% of US homes now have wireless access. As a result, a single IP address usually supports multiple computer devices – which unlike traditional telephones can be operated simultaneously by different individuals.
Different family members, or even visitors, could have performed the alleged downloads. Unless the wireless router has been appropriately secured (and in some cases, even if it has been secured), neighbors or passersby could access the Internet using the IP address assigned to a particular subscriber and download the plaintiff's film.
He also cites a colleagues dismissal of a similar case, writing:
Plaintiff's counsel estimated that 30 percent of the names turned over by ISPs are not those of individuals who actually downloaded or shared copyrighted material. Counsel stated that the true offender is often the "teenaged son … or the boyfriend if it's a lady." Alternatively, the perpetrator might turn out to be a neighbor in an apartment building that uses shared IP addresses or a dormitory that uses shared wireless networks. This risk of false positives gives rise to the potential for coercing unjust settlements from innocent defendants such as individuals who want to avoid the embarrassment of having their names publicly associated with allegations of illegally downloading "My Little Panties # 2."
Finally, he points out that the plaintiffs don't seem very interested in actually enforcing anti-infringement by taking the defendants to court — rather they're seeking a quick settlement:
Upon receipt of the Complaint, I reached out to Plaintiff and spoke to a self-described "Negotiator" in an effort to see if I could prove to them (without the need for publicly tying my name to the Complaint) that I had nothing to do with the alleged copyright infringements. The Negotiator was offered unfettered access to my computer, my employment records, and any other discovery they may need to show that I was not the culpable party. Instead, the Negotiator refused and was only willing to settle the Complaint for thousands of dollars. While the Negotiator said on October 24, 2011 that he would check to see if he could come down from the thousands of dollar settlement amount, the Negotiator has not responded to two voice mails that were left on October 25, 2011. Notably, the Negotiator justified the settlement amount because, in part, I would incur legal fees in hiring an attorney.
IV. The Fallout
This remark offers a not so subtle hint that some judges are starting to view these kinds of mass-threat-letter campaigns as exactly what the majority in the public view them as — extortion schemes.
Of course a handful of rulings — even at the federal level — won't be enough to stop the persistent efforts of the RIAA and other copyright extorters. But as they pile up, the legal costs of these losses may at long last force the media industry (including the adult film industry) to reevaluate its already money-losing approach with respect to copyright enforcement.
The happy days of an open season on threat letters may be over for the RIAA, et al.
[Image Source: Grist]
It may seem a bit sad that the digital era has enabled the public to steal media makers work, while providing them such little recourse (although many studies have indicated piracy has not effect media revenue). But it's hardly better to prop up a system of threats under which the innocent are often punitiviely punished while the the guilty often escape scott-free.
The legal system is slowly warming up to the idea that despite the painful financial implications of the internet, it is unacceptable to support such a flagrant mass violation of civil liberties.

NO, our jewelry does not contain any nickel whatsoever. We also do not buy any jewelry components from China. In fact, many of our jewelry components are handmade by the designer Lexi Butler herself who takes great pride in her work.
We use solid copper, 14k Gold Filled, Sterling Silver and Sterling Silver Filled and of course copper
Any gemstones that are not a diamond, ruby, emerald or sapphire is a semi-precious gemstone. Calling a gemstone semi-precious does not mean it is less valuable than precious gemstones. .Some semi-precious gemstones are not stones at all but are made of organic material like amber, coral and pearl.
Swarovski Elements do contain minute amounts of lead. However, while the brand is historically known for its impeccable "lead-crystal," which, by European Union legal requirement, contained at least 24% lead oxide, in September of 2012, Swarovski adopted their patented Advanced Crystal Standard. This patented and innovative standard guarantees that all Swarovski Elements products bearing that label are considered lead-free crystal, containing no more than 0.009% lead oxide. Swarovski Crystals are not safe for children 12 and under due to accidental ingestion
When it is exposed to air, it darkens or tarnishes, forming what is commonly referred to as copper "patina." After prolonged contact with human skin where it can interact with air, sweat and other chemicals, such as soaps, lotions, and makeup, copper can turn green or bluish-green, and stain the skin in the process. At Lexi Butler Designs we put a hypoallergenic top coat on all nonmoving parts. For more info please please refer to our Jewelry Care Guide

The ultrabooks just keep on coming … more specifically, the touchscreen ultrabooks keep on coming. Even more specifically, the touchscreen ultrabooks with Windows 8 keep on coming..
I recently tested out another offering that fits this category, the HP ENVY Touchsmart Ultrabook 4, and I'm back with a full report.
LOOKS, MATERIALS, SIZE The ENVY 4 features a sharp design in silver and black (black frame around the display and black keyboard, and a silver base and touchpad). The palm rest keyboard area and cover have a sturdy brushed aluminum finish, and the bottom of the machine is a soft-touch rubber material.
Overall I was very impressed with the build and look of the machine.
The once area where I see the ENVY 4 trailing its competitors in the ultrabook arena is weight, as this machine comes in at roughly 4 pounds. That's a full pound heavier than some of its competitors, so people looking for the most lightweight and portable machine might consider other ultrabook options (to be fair though, those lighter offerings are more expensive, so there is a tradeoff.)
Overall size specs on the machine are 13.38 inches wide, 9.28 inches deep and 0.78 inches thick (again, not quite as thin as some competitors in the ultrabook arena).
This is still an ultrabook by definition, without a doubt, as it is very portable, it's just not quite as 'ultra' as some of the competitors.
KEYBOARD The ENVY 4 has a well-designed chiclet-style keyboard, with amply spaced keys.
The function keys on the top row double as various controls (volume up/down, mute, media controls like fast-forward and play, etc.). Despite limited space in an ultrabook design, HP has gotten all the necessary keys in a very user-friendly package.
A backlit keyboard is offered for an extra $20, and I would highly recommend it, especially if you do a lot of your work at night like I do.
The touchpad on the ENVY 4 is very responsive, and can be turned off by simply double tapping the top left corner of the touchpad itself. It's large enough, but not so large that it causes accidental cursor movement, something I rarely experienced during my time with the ENVY 4.
DISPLAY The screen size on the ENVY 4 is 14 inches, just about the perfect size for a laptop in my opinion — not too big, not too small. The native resolution on the ENVY 4 is 1366 x 768 pixels, meaning 720p video will play without any delays, but full HD 1080p video will require some buffering time. There is no option to upgrade to a full-HD 1080p screen, and I would have liked to see that as an option for folks who wanted it.
Still, what's offered is a sharp, crisp screen that should make most users very happy, and will provide an enjoyable media viewing experience – whether it be movies on Netflix and other services, or light game play or online video watching.
TOUCHSCREEN The touchscreen on the ENVY 4 was very responsive, and helpful at times when maneuvering around the Web or using certain programs.
Touchscreens are the route many laptop makers are going with their new Windows 8 machines, and for good reason, as Windows 8 is made with touchscreens in mind. Windows 8 is still new, so if you get it for the first time there will be an adjustment period. But it doesn't take long to learn it, and once you do you'll be glad you have a touchscreen machine.
PROCESSOR, RAM The HP ENVY 4 line comes with the latest Intel chips. My machine had a very speedy i5 processor that stood up well even through serious multitasking, but the base model will come with a slower i3 processor. The i3 isn't exactly a slow processor, but if you're used to speedy performance I would recommend the i5.
My machine also had 4 GB of RAM, which helps with the smooth operation of the machine and should be enough for most users. Power users can upgrade to as much as 8 GB of RAM for even speedier performance and multitasking.
The machine comes with 500 GB of storage, a solid number that should be enough for most people, especially with so much being stored in the cloud these days.
BATTERY Battery life on the ENVY 4 was decent, but not the best I've seen on an ultrabook got about 5 hours of life from the battery, less than the seven-hour capability listed by HP.
The machine comes with a 4-cell battery, and there are no battery upgrades, so you get what you get. Settings can be adjusted on the machine to allow for better battery life, and the life will depend on what programs you are using most often.
PORTS In terms of ports, the essentials are there on the HP ENVY 4, with 2 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports (for faster data transfer); 1 USB 2.0 ports; 1 HDMI port (which you can use to transfer your computer's screen to your HDTV); and slots for headphones and microphone plug-ins. Due to the smaller size of the ultrabook, there is no disc drive — so if you want to use discs you'll need an external disc drive, an accessory that is offered by HP.
PRICE The base price on the HP ENVY Touchsmart Ultrabook 4 is $749, but that will feature a slower i3 processor. The unit I had featured an upgrade to Windows 8 Professional (with extra features for business customers), a backlit keyboard, and the upgrade to an i5 processor, with a pricetag of $914.99. Most people won't need Windows 8 Professional, so if you get the standard consumer edition of Windows 8 with the other specs I had, you'd pay $844.99.
BOTTOM LINE Overall, this isn't my absolute favorite ultrabook I've seen due to the extra weight and so-so battery life compared to the competition. But it holds its own in other categories, as the overall design, performance and specs are very impressive.
Also, the starting price is quite a bit lower than many of the ultrabook competition (some start at more than $1,000), and that's often one of the biggest considerations customers have. So even though it's not perfect, this ultrabook should get its share of customers.

Serious injuries reported in Raynham crash
RAYNHAM — A three-vehicle crash on Tuesday night seriously injured a 21-year-old Middleboro woman, who was rushed to a Providence trauma center, police said.
A MedFlight helicopter was called after the crash took place at 10:25 p.m. on Broadway in front of the China Garden restaurant, Raynham Police said.
A green 2001 Saturn SC1 driven by Danielle Fernandes, 21, of Middleboro, crossed the center line and sideswiped a 2013 Mazda 5, before the Saturn continued and drove head-on into a 2012 Ford F350 pickup, according to the Raynham Police Department.
Fernandes was trapped in her vehicle, and was extricated by the Raynham Fire Department, Raynham Police said.
Fernandes was transported to the trauma center at Rhode Island Hospital by a MedFlight helicopter with "serious injuries," said Raynham Police Chief James Donovan. The helicopter took off from the Raynham dog track on Broadway, which is part of Route 138, Donovan said.
Richard Ferreira, of Raynham, was the driver of the Ford F350 pickup. Ferreira was transported to Morton Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Donovan said. The driver of the Mazda, Joao Santos, of Bridgewater, was not listed as injured.
The crash is being investigated by Raynham Police reconstructionist Patrolman Anthony Barbour.
A rollover crash also took place in town on Wednesday morning in Raynham Center, at the corner of King and Orchard streets. A blue 2000 Volkswagen Jetta, driven by Tonya Hurley, 26, of Taunton, drove from King Street onto Orchard Street without stopping for the stop sign, going right into the path of a brown 2007 Toyota Tacoma pickup, Donovan said. The pickup truck was driven by Manuel Camara, 67, of Taunton.
Camara's Toyota pickup rolled over as a result of the crash, Donovan said.
Hurley and Camara were both transported to Morton Hospital, and their vehicles were towed from the scene.
Hurley was cited with failure to stop for a stop sign and failure to grant right of way, Donovan said.

What do students and teachers say about West Ridge?
In 2018, students and teachers in Chicago Public Schools participated in the 2018 CPS 5Essentials Survey, which asked questions about their school's culture and climate. West Ridge Elementary School's performance on the 5Essentials (fig. 1) summarizes the participants' answers to those survey questions as they relate to the 5Essentials.
West Ridge is organized for improvement
The 5Essentials can identify the ways in which a school is organized for school improvement. In fact, over two decades of research on Chicago Public Schools has shown that schools strong on three or more of these essentials were 10 times more likely to improve student learning than schools weak in three or more.
Explore the Survey Reports to see West Ridge's performance on the 5Essentials, the main concepts underlying the 5Essentials (measures), and individual survey questions underlying each measure.
Need help interpreting these results? Go to the FAQs and Support section to learn more about what the results mean and how to use the results for school improvement. You'll also find explanations of how scores are calculated.
The 5Essentials framework was validated by the University of Chicago Consortium on Chicago School Research at the University of Chicago Urban Education Institute, in partnership with Chicago Public Schools. Research identifies Effective Leaders, Collaborative Teachers, Involved Families, Supportive Environment, and Ambitious Instruction as the factors that matter most for student learning.

From The Project on Law & Mind Sciences at Harvard Law School (PLMS):
Here is an illuminating interview of Situationist Contributor Eric Knowles by Harvard Law student Anna Lamut. The interview, titled "On Moral Judgment and Normative Questions" lasts just over 72 minutes. It was conducted as part of the Law and Mind Science Seminar at Harvard taught by Situationist Contributor Jon Hanson.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Eric Knowles is an assistant professor of Psychology & Social Behavior, Ph.D. University of California, Berkeley. The following blurb from his website describes his research:
"When does inequality seem like inequity? Broadly speaking, my research examines how people perceive and react to the fact that some groups in society have more than others. I am especially interested in how different types of motivations — e.g., to bolster the hierarchy, to see oneself as a good and deserving person — lead people to deny the existence of inequity, dis-identify with their ingroup, or form attitudes likely to reduce intergroup disparities."
* * *
Table of Contents
:20 – What does your research focus on generally?
2:48 – What does it mean to make color-blindness work for you?
6:08 – What does "hierarchy attenuation" mean?
10:00 – What are some other ideas that get co-opted in this way?
14:58 – Back to the point you made about patriotism, do you feel that the Conservatie interpretation has been "winning" in recent years?
20:25 – Is this a topic you are planning to undertake in your research?
22:25 – Moving to your 2009 article entitled "Racial prejudice predicts opposition to Obama and his healthcare plan," how did you develop the methodology?
24:10 – How did you choose to use the Go-No Go Association Task rather than the Implicit Association Test for the study?
41:04 – For the portion of the study where you asked those respondents who tested positive for implicit racial bias about their reasons for opposing Obama, were they able to submit their own reasons or did they choose from a list?
41:55 – This theme–of individuals finding legitimate-sounding justifications for beliefs that may originate in racism–seems related to those discussed in your piece, "Preference, principle, and political casuistry." Would you agree?
44:43 – What are some other reasons people do this?
45:30 – In "Preference, principle, and political casuistry," you refer to this process as a hybrid view between preference and principle. Could you expand on this?
51:14 – Would you say that this broadens the explanatory power for the theory, that it would then apply also to individuals' reasoning about issues that are not explicitly tied to race?
51:52 – What are your thoughts on the critique of the study of implicit racial bias, as stated in Charles Lawrence's article, "Unconscious Racism Revisited," that studies of implicit racial bias "normalize" racism by explaining it as a product of our brains' natural propensity to categorize, and that these studies therefore do not address group or institutional racism?
62:39 – How is your research applicable to Lawrence's critique in that it addresses the effect of these individual biases on group decision-making, such as elections?
65:45 – How did you get interested in the topics that you now research?
