Top 10 Tailgating Spots in the Pac-12
This is it! Our last edition in our weekly conference tailgating top 10. Hope you have enjoyed them. This time we turn to the Pac-12. Let us know where you think your school should rank!
10. California (Cal)

Tailgating at Cal is a lot of walking in a dense urban area and California Memorial Stadium is nestled right in the middle of Berkeley itself, so unfortunately there is minimal to no parking. Traffic is brutal as it gets closer to game time so most fans take the train in with their cooler of beer and tailgate at the stadium with the crowd of Blue and Gold. However, those that do find a good pregame party spot, do it well. Lots of comfort food at the Cal tailgates; Pork sliders, ribs and grilled cheese along with some baked beans and cole slaw. Goes well with the ice cold beer. No ticket to the game? No problem. Instead of sitting in the bleachers at the stadium, some Golden Bears fans decide to make their way up to Charter Hill, also known as Tightwad Hill, to watch all the action. The Hill is 100 feet above the east rim of the stadium, and offers up a surprisingly great view for spectators. And lastly, these guys really despise the color red so don't wear it or you'll get the "take off the red shirt" chant. Which leads me to one of Cal's biggest traditions, the Axe Rally. When Cal is in possession of the infamous Stanford Axe, they hosts an Axe Rally the night before the Cal/Stanford rivalry.
9. Stanford

Palo Alto is a great place to be and the center of the Silicon Valley economy. It's also the home of Stanford University football. What's a better way to spend a warm, sunny Saturday in Palo Alto than to take in a home game? On a typical game day, the parking lot is filled with a sea of cardinal red, portable grills, food, bloody marys (or any other red alcoholic drink) and plenty of intense bag games. The tailgate scene is a crucial part of the game-day experience. If you are bringing the family, head to the Stanford Fan Fest which offers fans a place to eat and drink, and participate in interactive games. There you can see the players in the traditional football "Walk." Stanford supporters line the pathway of Sam McDonald Road to Stanford Stadium to cheer on the players and coaches'. The best tradition at Stanford is the Stanford Axe; a trophy that symbolizes one of the best and oldest rivalries in college football—Cal vs. Stanford. The axe has been the victim of numerous thefts and pranks during its existence, and is the wildest story of any famed rivalry trophy in college football.

Another beautiful mountainous backdrop surrounds the Utah campus. A sea of crimson can be seen eating, drinking, and playing a few festive drinking games directly around Rice-Eccles Stadium. The parking lots closest to the stadium, are reserved for Utah Season Ticket holders. Most of the tailgaters now party in the parking lot next to the Hospital. Tailgating has been going on there for about ten years and you will see plenty of decorated RV's, converted buses, and even tailgating teepees. Some fans have even started throwing tailgating parties in downtown Salt Lake, and then ride the train to the stadium. These parties can start as early as 7 am. Utah game day always begins with the Ute Walk. Hundreds of fans line the route down 500 South to Rice-Eccles Stadium to get an up-close look at the players and coaches. The Marching Band leads the team and the Spirit Team throws out T-shirts to the crowd. Utah has a nice setup, but if you want to go to the biggest and best tailgate of the year, wait for the annual Holy War against BYU…epic status.
7. UCLA

The Bruins play their home football games at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena which has an advantage because you're tailgating at a stadium where history runs deep. The stadium is located in a neighborhood so tailgating around the stadium is limited. Your best bet is to head to the stadium grounds and park on the Brookside golf course that surrounds the Rose Bowl. The back drop of the golf course and the mountainous view sets up for a very nice tailgating area. And yes you can bring barbecue grills and all the food you can cook! If you decide not to tailgate, there are plenty of great bars and restaurants in Old Town Pasadena located on Colorado Boulevard, just a short distance away from the game shuttle. Barney's Beanery is a great place to eat and drink, with flat screen TVs to watch other games. For fans bringing the family, head to the UCLA Fan Zone. The UCLA Fan Zone caters to families, sports fans, alumni and students.
Arizona fans tailgating at the Mall – courtesy of ftw.usatoday.com
The mall is Arizona's most beautiful and popular tailgating spot. Arizona reserves this tailgating and parking area for Arizona season ticket holders. So, if you are lucky and know someone in this mall area, take advantage. It definitely won't disappoint. Breakfast burritos are a popular Southwestern menu item at the tailgates, as well as Jalapenos and peppers. No tailgate spot? If you are over 30 head to Trident Grill. Under 30, try out Bisonwitches on 4th. And you can't forget to try a Mexican dog at El Guero Canero and top it off with a few carne asada tacos. The best in the country. If you are with the fam, head over to the Coca-Cola Fan Fiesta for pre-game fun. The Fan Fiesta offers live entertainment, food, drinks, interactive displays and a fun zone for the kids. Fans and students alike line up along Cherry Avenue for the Wildcat Walk to shake hands with the players and wish them luck, alongside the UA Pep Band and cheerleaders.
5. USC
USC Tailgating – courtesy of viterbivoices.usc.edu
At USC tailgates, location is key. The ideal spot is underneath the Traveler statue, that way you can see all the way down Trousdale Parkway, which is great for people watching the sea of cardinal and gold, but close enough to beat the rush of people to the Coliseum. The diverse fanbase cooks a wide array of foods; from brats, to jalapenos, to brisket. All paired with an expensive vodka or craft beer, none of that light beer stuff. Another good spot is next to Tommy Trojan making it an easy rendezvous point. The Trojan Marching Band performs as they walk down Trousdale which is definitely a must-see. And don't forget to kick the flag posts as you make your way to the Coliseum which of course is one of the time-honored traditions. For a more family-friendly option check out Alumni Park which offers ample shaded seating, food, drink, TV's, and other kids activities.

What better place to put on an outdoor tailgate party than the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Folsom Field sits more than a mile above sea level at 5,360 feet, so make sure you know your limitations and adjust for the elevation. So basically watch how much you are drinking and eat…eat all the amazing tailgating food, from breakfast burritos and bratwursts to buffalo style chicken wings, while taking in the view of the Flatirons rock formations. It's simply breathtaking. Folsom Field is near the heart of Boulder and the surrounding neighborhood has plenty of pre and postgame options for food, drink, and entertainment. Buffalo fans can walk down to field level before the game to get a close view of Ralphie as she awaits her pre-game run with the team. CU turns its new indoor practice facility into a "fan zone" for each home game. Kids can play catch, cornhole, make signs to root on the Buffs, or get autographs from current CU athletes. Parents can enjoy concessions (including beer), big-screen TVs and catch a sneak peek into the new weight room.
3. Arizona State
ASU tailgating scene – courtesy of phoenixnewtimes.com
The team may not be so hot, but the tailgating at Arizona State is, I mean you are in the desert after all. The Sun Devils appreciate everything hot, from their women to their food. Tailgate tents and jalapeno poppers are man's best friend outside the stadium. Rula Bula is a no-frills Irish bar that packs in the pre and post gamers on Mill Avenue which is about 10 minutes from the stadium. Sun Devil fans gather about 2 hours before the game for the Devil Walk to cheer on the players and coaches as they make their way into Sun Devil Stadium along-side the Sun Devil Marching Band. The motto is to be there, be loud and cheer on your Sun Devil Football team as they arrive on game day. Then head on over to Sparky's Touchdown Tailgate at Devils on College, which features entertainment, food and games. Tempe allows you to enjoy the college football experience but encourages you to get outside and explore the hiking and biking trails, the lakes and other sites throughout the city.
Oregon fans walk across Autzen's foot bridge en route to the stadium – Courtesy of Andrew Seng/Emerald
Over the river and through the woods to Auzten Stadium! Duck fans enjoy the traditional walk from the Oregon campus through Alton Baker Park, over the Willamette River on the Autzen Bridge and follow the crowd to the stadium. Another scenic tailgating destination with mountains, coastal views, and plenty of adventure to work up an appetite. Speaking of, the food cooking up at the Oregon tailgates is as diverse as the scenery. From veggie burgers and barbecue, to chili, sausages and breakfast burritos. All paired with an assortment of the best craft beer in the country. The Cooler Restaurant & Bar and The O Bar & Grill are the closest sports bars to stadium and Sixth Street Grill in downtown Eugene is a popular pre and post-game hang out. The Moshofsky Center (The "Mo"), the Ducks' indoor practice facility, turns into one of the largest indoor tailgate celebrations holding up to 5,000 fans before and after games. The Mo offers food, music, beer, wine, TVs and the Oregon cheerleaders.

Annually voted the most scenic football stadium in the nation, the view from Husky Stadium is unmatched. It overlooks Lake Washington and offers sweeping skylines of Downtown Seattle and Mt. Rainer. At Washington you can tailgate by land and by sea. The majority of tailgating occurs in the two enormous parking lots next to the stadium where tons of seafood is on the menu, from fried fish and crab to grilled salmon. But when over 5,000 people come together for some serious "sterngating" out on the lake, that's what makes University of Washington one of the most unique tailgating experiences in the country and number one on our list. Members of Washington's rowing team will even shuttle you from the dock to your boat. How's that for great service? This is pretty much the Pacific Northwest's version of tailgating paradise.

Deadly blasts hit western Iraq city
At least 23 people killed and dozens injured, including governor of Anbar province.
The first attack in Ramadi occured at
a traffic junction [AFP]
A separate bombing 30 minutes later at the entrance to the nearby provincial council offices.
It was in this bombing that Abid was injured as he came out of his office to inspect the damage, a source at a Ramadi hospital was reported as saying.
"A suicide bomber wearing an army uniform ran towards the governor," Captain Ahmed Mohammed al-Dulaimi, a local police officer, said.
"Some security people held him back, and he detonated himself."
Governor wounded
State television briefly reported that the governor had been killed in the blast, but those reports were quickly denied by Hikmet Khalaf, his deputy.
The AFP news agency quoted a doctor at Ramadi General Hospital as saying: "The governor is wounded. American forces came and took him for more treatment."
The US military did not immediately confirm that its troops took Abid to a US-run hospital.
Ahmed Rushdi, an independent journalist in Baghdad, told Al Jazeera: "There is now a curfew inside Anbar - [the roads] are only for police cars and ambulances. All the members of the council and the governorate have mild injures."
Anbar province was the heart of Iraq's Sunni uprising following the US-led invasion of Iraqi in 2003 but it became relatively secure after local tribal fighters accepted US-backing in 2006.
But a spate of recent attacks has raised fears that violence will increase ahead of Iraq's general elections in March 2010.

Brit fave Matt Lucas makes his Doctor Who debut in 11 new pics from the Christmas special
Tag: BBC
Tag: River Song
Tag: Alex Kingston
Tag: Peter Capaldi
While we're waiting on tenterhooks for the Doctor Who Season 9 finale to air tomorrow, the BBC has released a bunch of new promo and character pics for its upcoming Chirstmas special, "The Husbands of River Song."
As well as revealing a first look at some new aliens and guest stars Matt Lucas (Alice in Wonderland, Pompidou) and Greg Davies (The Inbetweeners), the pics also offer some very nice character shots of the 12th Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and his time-traveling wife, River Song (Alex Kingston).
Steven Moffat has said of the yuletide episode that it's going to be a fun, madcap adventure with River kissing almost everyone but our poor, lovelorn Doctor. Geez, our beloved Time Lord cannot catch a break! Here's the official synopsis:
It's Christmas Day on a remote human colony and the Doctor is hiding from carols and comedy antlers. But when the Time Lord's help is requested he finds himself recruited into River Song's squad and hurled into a fast and frantic chase across the galaxy! King Hydroflax (Greg Davies) is furious and his giant robot bodyguard is out-of-control and coming for them all! Will Nardole (Matt Lucas) survive? And when will River work out who the Doctor is?
All will be revealed on a starliner full of galactic super-villains and at a destination the Doctor has been avoiding for a very long time…
Also included in the gallery is a higher-resolution image (as well as a close-up shot) of the Doctor holding a new sonic screwdriver. As some of you have pointed out (I couldn't make it out the first time I saw it since the pic was so low-res), it is indeed a brand-new, very cool-looking screwdriver! Check out the pics below, and let us know what you think.

For instance, comparable portfolios might deliver the same average annual return over a 20- or 30-year period, but have radically different consequences to how long your savings may last. Generally speaking, negative returns in the early years of your retirement can potentially reduce how long your assets can be expected to last.
1.Dollar-cost averaging does not protect against a loss in a declining market or guarantee a profit in rising market. Dollar-cost averaging is the process of investing a fixed amount of money in an investment vehicle at regular intervals, usually monthly, for an extended period of time regardless of price. Investors should evaluate their financial ability to continue making purchases through periods of declining and rising prices. The return and principal value of stock prices will fluctuate as market conditions change. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

The slaves who escaped from his plantation established a branch of the Jamaican Maroons at Cudjoe's Town (Trelawny Town). These Leeward Maroons, as they came to be called, were led by Cudjoe, whose guerrilla resistance eventually forced the governor, Edward Trelawny, to sue for peace and offer them a treaty in 1739.

A colonel in the Militia, he defeated an attack by the French led by Admiral Jean-Baptiste du Casse in 1694 at Carlisle Bay.

He was the speaker of the House of Assembly of Jamaica in 1691-92 and 1698.

Past debates and perspectives
by Lyndsey Stonebridge, Professor of Humanities and Human Rights
The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the University of Birmingham
"Contrary to popular assumption, the humanities do not simply luxuriate in ambiguity: they wrestle with it daily."
Between 1947 and 1948, as the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was being drafted, a special committee was set up by UNESCO (the UN's educational, scientific and cultural organisation) to advise on the theoretical bases of human rights. Philosophers were gathered; a survey was sent out to key thinkers and influencers across the world, including Mahatma Gandhi (not a fan of human rights as it turned out); a report was written.
One of the philosophers was a Chicago University professor, named Richard McKeon. In an essay published in 1948, the year the UDHR was launched, McKeon argued that you need three things to make human rights work: 1. Clarity – we need to know exactly which human rights are being protected; 2. Relevance to people's social, economic and cultural conditions – human rights have to seem plausible, realisable, and meaningful; and 3. Implementation – there has to be a will on behalf of governments, or a demand on behalf of citizens and activists, to put human rights to work.
We can argue about these conditions, and many have, but so far so sensible. McKeon's conclusion perhaps was more unusual. The key condition for human rights, he argued, was ambiguity.
This was a bit of pragmatism. We're never going to come up with one global theory of human rights; states are never going to administer rights in the same way; and even campaigners and activists can often campaign for human rights whilst having different, and sometimes opposing, political and ideological principles. Rather than give up on human rights because they seemed too slippery, McKeon instead suggested that what might make human rights work was the precisely the fact that they do not mean the same things to all people at all times.
It is no coincidence that ambiguity is also the core business of the humanities. McKeon understood this very well; he was a philosopher of rhetoric whose students included the literary critic Wayne Booth, the philosopher Richard Rorty, and the writer Susan Sontag. Tolerating, disentangling, and above all learning from ambiguity are the foundational skills of a humanities education. And for good reason: to dwell within the shadows of meaning is to get the full measure of the work of being human in a complex, competitive, and often inhuman world.
Every writer knows the experience of expressing something ambiguously only to later realise that what looked like a contradiction was part of the process of creating something new. This is why historical leaps in the bid for human rights have often come with innovations of form, genre, and artistic expression. Had Jefferson simply repeated 'Get Independence Done' ad nauseum rather than crafting a story about a bad father-king, things might have worked out differently. Had Frederick Douglass not forged a new genre that defined modern freedom in opposition to colonial slavery in his 1845 memoir Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, American Slave, the testimonial form might have ended up merely being supplicatory rather than emancipatory. Had George Orwell not imagined a man restless enough to steal a pen and begin to write down his own thoughts in Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), the totalitarian mind might have remained a theoretical abstraction. And so on.
These writers understood that to put new ways of being human into the world they needed to create new ways of making the world look less certain than it seemed. Literature, wrote Jean Paul Sartre in 1946, 'consists in moving immediate, unreflected, perhaps ignored actions on the plane of reflection and objectivity.' Literature often creates ambiguity precisely to provoke judgement. This is why many will also say that literary and artistic ambiguity is essentially democratic: readers, viewers and listeners have to interpret apparent contradictions, share in the making of meaning that is essential not just to art, but also to our social and political lives.
Contrary to popular assumption, the humanities do not simply luxuriate in ambiguity: they wrestle with it daily. Historians and anthropologists specialise in showing how what appears ambiguous actually makes sense once it is put in the correct context; how what looks like contradiction from a particular time and place is in fact nothing of the sort once you do the work. This too is a kind of human rights work and is why, for example, the work of decolonisation is currently at the core of humanities endeavour. Batting opinions about is the stock and trade of politicians and journalism, but for scholars making sense of the grey zones of human history and morality takes meticulous and painstaking work. "Look, here are the list of names, the minutes, the memos of command, the incriminating texts, the profits paid, the photographs taken from every different angle. This was the reality. There's nothing ambiguous about it."
Disambiguation, as any moral philosopher will tell you, is vital to good decision making. But we cannot get to moral clarity without tarrying with ambiguity first. So long as there is human plurality, difference, complexity, there is no short cut to designing a policy for a better world, as McKeon and his contemporaries understood very well seventy two years ago.
With these thoughts in mind, we should give more serious attention to the fact that today attacks on the very idea of human rights have come at exactly the same time as the humanities are being openly devalued. How is a humanities education useful? ask governmental and educational accountants. What might be the moral and democratic costs of turning the humanities into an elite specialism is less often asked.
Elsewhere as in Victor Orbán's Hungary, the double assault is explicit: humanities courses have been targeted and closed as part of an explicit propaganda war against human rights. At their most extreme, the so-called culture wars are characterised by an intolerance of ambiguity which is probably, at root, an intolerance of human plurality itself.
Back in 1948 the drafters, thinkers, policy makers and activists working for human rights understood all too well where intolerance for the ambiguities of collective human existence could end. Faced with a deadly plague, gross and unsustainable levels of inequality, the climate catastrophe and a new epoch of human migration, we cannot afford to make that mistake again. So long as we think human rights is a project worth continuing with, we're going to need the humanities.
Lyndsey Stonebridge's new collection of essays Writing and Righting: Literature in the Age of Human Rights is now published with Oxford University Press. She will be talking about the humanities and human rights with Lisa Appignanesi, Sunny Singh and Thomas Keenan, on December 3rd which is organised by the University of Birmingham.
You can also listen to Lyndsey talk with the human rights barrister, Adam Wagner. A member of Doughty Street Chambers, visiting Professor of Law at Goldsmiths, Wagner was the founder of the human rights information organisation, RightsInfo, now operating as Each Other. In this conversation, recorded as part of School of Law's innovative 'Language and Law' course, they discuss why telling the story of human rights matters so much today.

Home >> The-grocers-encyclopedia-1911 >> Puff Ball to Yeast >> Wheat
grain, bran, constitute, developed, time and created
WHEAT (see Color Page opposite 676). The pre-eminence of wheat, in other than Asiatic countries, is attributable chiefly to the fact that, in the universally desired form of bread, it is more generally acceptable than any other grain. Its superiority in that respect is due to its comparatively large content of gliadin (see GLUTEN) .
Wheat has been cultivated since the earliest ages—it was the main crop even in the days of ancient Egypt and Palestine. To-day, the United States produces and consumes greater quantities than any other country in the world. Russia stands next in the list of producers. The plant is an annual or biennial, flourishing in sub tropical regions yet capable of enduring the unusually severe winters so often experi enced in Northern Europe and the northwestern part of this continent. It requires, however, a mean temperature of at least 55° Fahr. for three or four months of the year.
Owing to the different climates in which it is produced, the cultivated varieties are very numerous and new kinds are continually presenting themselves, many of which are held in high estimation in certain districts. The chief types are known as Hard, Semi-Hard and Soft, Red, White and Durum, or "Macaroni," with sub-di visions into Bearded and Unbearded. The "hardness" and "softness" depend on (1) the variety, (2) the length of time taken to reach maturity, and (3) the amount of gluten developed. Any kind may be Spring or Winter, according to the sowing time.
The grain consists of a starchy kernel, composed of minute cells containing the glutenous proteids and the starch granules, wrapped in five coats or layers, which constitute the Bran. The three thin outside layers are called the "skin"; the fourth, known as the "testa," contains the greater part of the coloring matter of the bran. These four outer coats together constitute about 5% of the weight of the whole grain. The fifth inner and thickest coat (constituting about 8% of the weight of the
whole grain) is known as the "cereal" or "aleurone" layer. The varying proportions in which the bran is included in the flour represent the differences in Graham, Whole Wheat and other similar breads (see BREADS).
A good milling wheat will yield from 75% to 80% of fine flour, of which perhaps three-fourths will be Patent and the remainder of lower grades.
Because of its importance for food purposes, wheat has attained great prominence in the political and commercial worlds. In the former, it has even held the reins of power, created- parties, developed partisanship and decided the issues of parliamen tary or congressional strife. In the latter, it has proved an attractive source of specu lation and an objective point for financial ambition. It has been the compeer of gold in the race for gain, and has given and removed fortunes in a day. The principal produce exchanges throughout the civilized world resound with the noisy clamor of "bulls" and "bears," as the fluctuating prices of the grain are clicked by the telegraph and confusedly echoed among the excited throng. Corners have been created and ruin forced almost in the twinkling of an eye by the capricious determination of a favored few struggling for the sole possession of this precious grain. Too plain language cannot be used against this pernicious practice and it is devoutly to be hoped that proper legislation upon the subject may yet remedy the evil.
Rolled TVheat is milled in much the same way as Rolled Oats (see OATMEAL). Cracked Wheat corresponds to old-fashioned Oatmeal.
Puffed Wheat is prepared in the same way as Puffed Rice (see article on RICE).

ACE FOR ACES CLEARED! ENDYMION Challenge Revealed!
Yesterday was a very eventful day when the race to clear ACE FOR ACES happened between Jeff (@fungah_) and a joint effort by some Korean players including FEFEMZ and RETOREE. Team Korea stayed overnight at their game center, set the games to 1 round per game, and pumped in unlimited credits to grind for the world's first ACE FOR ACES clear. VODs of their progress can be found on FEFEMZ's YouTube channel. RETOREE was able to make it as far as 462 steps before they called it quits.
Today, Jeff achieved the world's first clear on ACE FOR ACES Difficult! Check the video below to see how tricky those last few notes are.
So what happens now that ACE FOR ACES has been cleared? Did anything change? For a moment, it didn't look like there was anything new. That is until you get your heat meter to Level 3 again.
Without much surprise, ENDYMION Challenge has been revealed and is the newest Level 19 chart.


Home/Contacting People, Psychology/Dr. Michael Thompson Rocks!
I recently wrote an email to Dr. Michael Thompson praising him on his book, It's a Boy.
The book talks about child development with regard to boys specifically.
I really enjoyed his book and admire Dr. Thompson as writer and clinician. So I decided to tell him all of this in an email. I sent him a short note stating how much I liked his book (It's a Boy) and how it inspired me to write a blog about developmental milestones.
Thanks for sending me the link to your blog. I very much enjoyed your piece on developmental milestones and competitiveness.
"Thanks for sending me the link to your blog. I very much enjoyed your piece on developmental milestones and competitiveness. What you say about moms and dads subtly competing about their children's milestones is so true…and more than a bit sad. It suggests that the children of "good parents" reach their developmental milestones faster and the less rapid developers are slow because their parents aren't doing something right. These assumptions are almost always wrong, but the real problem is that this kind of competition is demoralizing and alienating. It leaves parents lonely at a time when they need friends the most, i.e. when they have needy, tiring young children. The hard thing for parents to accept is that DEVELOPMENT is in charge of development, not parents.
May I just say that any admiration that I had for Dr. Thompson has now been exponentially multiplied.
So please check out Dr. Thompson's book if you have a son. It will shed some light on key developmental issues and help you to become a better more understanding parent.

This Erev Shabbat is not like any other. We knew it wouldn't be, since it is one of the occasions when the Fast of Tevet falls on a Friday, a rare event that can only happen with this fast.
But this year in Jerusalem it has been different. Much has been made of the early snowfall this year, but could there be significance in its timing to coincide with the Fast of Tevet?
At Shacharit I wondered this when I saw that snow is mentioned in today's Selichot as a metaphor for being pure and clean from sin. But as the day progressed I saw a deeper correlation.
Although there were warnings of snow, the scale of the snow today still took people by surprise and it became evident early today that it would be impossible to leave Jerusalem. After I had internalised this reality and made different Shabbat plans, there was a power cut, which again changed the reality of the day. Apart from the lack of heating, there was the chance that there would be no hot food on Shabbat. Then I heard that the Eruv in Jerusalem was down, which forced many people to go out in the snow before Shabbat to give food and presents that they otherwise would have done on Shabbat.
It is certainly a day like no other, and it isn't over yet. We haven't gone through the odd religious transition of leyening for fast days followed by Kabbalat Shabbat and then breaking the fast on Kiddush. But over the day we have constantly adjusted to new realities that have made life, and specifically the observance of Shabbat, more challenging than they would otherwise have been. What started as an innocent piece of weather news ended up as an all-encompassing reality.
I would like to suggest that this is in fact the idea behind the Fast of Tevet. It is the anniversary not of a war but of the start of the siege of Jerusalem. Being under siege meant no travel out of the city, difficulty finding food and if it happened today, power outages. Normally when we fast we spend the day appreciating the blessing of food and drink. This fast has taught us to appreciate that and much more, and helping us to identify more with the historical events of the day.
The aim of fast days is to awaken thoughts of teshuva through remembering the sad events that have been inflicted on the Jewish people throughout history. However with the Fast of Tevet the event itself was not significant - life may have been fairly normal on 10th Tevet. But the effects would be felt in the weeks and months ahead. In religious thought, there was still time to do teshuva and stop the descent towards the destruction of the Temple, just as it was possible to end the siege. However the opportunity was not taken and the Temple was eventually destroyed.
The Fast of Tevet marks the beginning of a process where we are forced to adjust to new realities. If what we have learned from today is to appreciate more the source of all our basic needs, then that can act as the foundation for a collective teshuva and a catalyst for the process leading to the rebuilding of the Temple, which is the ultimate new reality we should aim to adjust to.

Congratulations to Anthony Grillo for winning the 2018 Holiday Hangover! He was guaranteed $18,000 and played for the win, receiving a total of $21,700 plus the trophy!
Grillo, "Cheesin" – his words, not mine!
Anthony had the biggest smile (I think we have ever posted on this blog)when he won the event! He shyly claimed that this is his first EVER tournament cash. He attempted a $400 buy-in at Foxwoods last month, firing in a few bullets and was disappointed with his play. He said this time around, he was more patient. He also veered away from his play that he finds success with in cash, as he quickly realized that they are two different beasts. He was excited to play against last year's returning Champion, Souka Kachittavong, and never imagined he would take the win when Souka had him massively out chipped.
Anthony resides in Fairfield County, CT and was sad he was unable to share his win in person with his girlfriend. He decided that he wants to celebrate with her by taking her to the Bahamas in February! He also promised he would treat himself to a new phone. Congrats Anthony on your 1st place win! We look forward to seeing you soon!

The final three players decide to negotiate a chop based on chip stacks and play it out for the trophy and the remaining $3,700.00. Chips leader, David Valone is guaranteed $19,000. Second in chips, Anthony Grillo, secures $18,000, and Souka Kachittavong is set to take $17,000.
Shortly after the negotiation, Anthony Grillo ends up taking David Valone out in two large hands and has a decent chip lead over Souka. For over two hours, Souka and Grillo battle it out heads up where at point, Grillo is out chipped by Souka; Souka has 10M plus in chips, Grillo is just hanging on with over 4M in chips. Grillo regains momentum and comes to a point where he has Souka out chipped by about 1M in chips.
The final hand plays out with Souka and Grillo both all-in. Souka has KJ, and flops a jack. Grillo has AQ and rivers the straight for the win!
Great play by both players! Congrats to Souka for another cash in a Mohegan Sun tournament series! Souka recently placed in two of our Summer Showdown events this past August, and was our returning Champion from last year's 2017 Holiday Hangover!

When is a wildflower a Florida native wildflower?
Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) by Dara Dobson
by Dara Dobson
Florida's flora includes more than 4,100 kinds of spontaneous occurring plants, including 2,800 plants native to the state. When most people refer to wildflowers, they include true Florida native herbaceous species as well as naturalized flowering species and non-native garden species that have escaped into the wild.
However, a true Florida native is a plant species whose natural range included Florida prior to European contact, based on the best available scientific and historical documentation, which dates to 1500 AD.
Conservation of soil and water is the main reason to plant natives in your landscapes. Properly grouping native plants in their natural associations can provide you with a pleasing look of subtle natural beauty. Native plants can be left untrimmed, or they can be manicured if you desire a more formal look. After the initial establishment, they will thrive with minimal care. As a bonus, your naturalistic landscape will furnish food and shelter for birds, bees, butterflies and local wildlife.
Florida's Best Native Landscape Plants by Gil Nelson lists 200 readily available species that are grown commercially. Along with each featured plant is a list of naturally occurring companion plants, which makes it easier to create sustainable naturalistic landscape groupings.
To find a native plant nursery near you, visit the Florida Association of Native Nurseries at PlantRealFlorida.org.

As is known, the oil refining industry with each year significantly adds to the growth and pace of construction of various enterprises. In the processing of crude oil, you must use a variety of equipment and materials. One of such materials is tube furnaces, which are used for the production from petroleum feedstock - motor gasoline and other products (kerosene, gas oil, diesel oil), including raw materials for the chemical industry (ethylene, propane, butane).For a long time, Customers applied directly to the factory to obtain steel structures. With the introduction of the "Safety Rules PB 03-605-03" the situation has changed. The author presents an individual design of CM (metal structures) to a tank filled with a liquid or gaseous substance.


The Solar Cell Market trends are analyzed from recent past with an eye on coming years in this report that also offers projections for Solar Cell industry targeted at helping in business decisions.
In addition to the aforementioned factors, the increasing electricity demand is another vital driver for the solar cells industry. Estimates suggest that nearly 1 billion global population are deprived of reliable power supply resources, which is creating a huge growth ground for the solar cells market. The government worldwide is also actively participating to address the rising electricity demand. For instance, Government of India has approved a budget of Rs. 50 billion under NSM (National Solar Mission) for setting up Grid Connected Rooftop Systems (4.25 GW) in the country.

Steiker Study Inspires Withdrawal of Death Penalty Section from Model Penal Code
By HLS News Staff
A recent study by HLS Professor Carol Steiker '86 and her brother, Professor Jordan Steiker of the University of Texas Law School, has led the American Law Institute (ALI) to vote to withdraw the capital punishment section of its Model Penal Code.
The study, which was requested by the ALI, examined the effectiveness of the Model Penal Code's death penalty provisions, which were enacted in 1962 and were designed to make the administration of the death penalty less arbitrary. The Model Penal Code provisions were cited by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1976 when it determined that the death penalty could be administered in a constitutional way.
The Steikers' study examined whether or not the death penalty was in fact being administered in compliance with the Constitution. They found that there are too many obstacles, both structural and institutional, to administering the death penalty in a non-arbitrary way, and recommended that the ALI avoid any attempt to come up with new rules regarding its proper administration. The report stated:
"The foregoing review of the unsuccessful efforts to constitutionally regulate the death penalty, the difficulties that continue to undermine its administration, and the structural and institutional obstacles to curing those ills forms the basis of our recommendation to the Institute. The longstanding recognition of these underlying defects in the capital justice process, the inability of extensive constitutional regulation to redress those defects, and the immense structural barriers to meaningful improvement all counsel strongly against the Institute's undertaking a law reform project on capital punishment, either in the form of a new draft of § 210.6 or a more extensive set of proposals. Rather, these conditions strongly suggest that the Institute recognize that the preconditions for an adequately administered regime of capital punishment do not currently exist and cannot reasonably be expected to be achieved."
Following the release of the Steikers' report, the ALI voted to withdraw its current rules regarding the administration of capital punishment, and to decline to create or issue new rules in their place, essentially suggesting that, under current conditions, there are no rules by which the death penalty could be properly administered. See New York Times article "Shapers of Death Penalty Give Up on Their Work."
Carol Steiker is well known for her criminal law scholarship, and particularly for her research and writing regarding the death penalty. In addition to her scholarly work, she has worked on numerous pro bono litigation projects on behalf of indigent criminal defendants. She has also served as a consultant and an expert witness on issues of criminal justice for non-profit organizations and has testified before Congress and the Massachusetts legislature. In 2008, she received the Hugo A. Bedau Award from Massachusetts Citizens Against the Death Penalty.
Steiker is the Howard and Katherine Abel Professor of Law at HLS, a position she has held since 2007. She joined the HLS faculty in 1992 as an assistant professor of law, and was associate dean from 1998 until 2001. She is also a faculty associate of the Harvard University Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics and a special advisor for public service.
In a Q&A, Steiker discusses the report's findings:
1. In October, the American Law Institute withdrew the capital punishment section of its Model Penal Code, based largely on a report by you and your brother. How did the report come about?
The American Law Institute (ALI) has been at work since 2001 revising the sentencing provisions of the Model Penal Code—its first major criminal law project since the Model Penal Code was adopted in the early 1960's. Initially, the question of capital punishment was set aside as outside the scope of the sentencing reform project. But at the ALI's annual meeting in May 2007, some members of the ALI moved that the Institute take a position against the death penalty. In response, the ALI decided to commission a paper to assist the Institute in evaluating its response to the motion. ALI Director and former Harvard professor Lance Liebman engaged me and my brother Jordan Steiker (HLS '88), a professor at the University of Texas School of Law and co-director of its capital punishment clinic, to prepare that report. The ALI also convened a group of experts, including judges and lawyers in addition to academics, to attend a conference to discuss a preliminary draft of the report. After this conference, at which a wide variety of views were aired, Jordan and I revised our paper and submitted a final draft to the ALI. After considering our report, the Council of the ALI recommended that the Institute withdraw the death penalty provisions of the Model Penal Code. At the ALI's annual meeting in May 2009, two years after the initial motion, the body of the ALI discussed the paper for several intense hours and voted for withdrawal, but with an even stronger statement about the problems in the administration of the death penalty that our report had detailed, approving a motion that stated:
"For reasons stated in Part V of the Council's report to the membership, the Institute withdraws Section 210.6 of the Model Penal Code in light of the current intractable institutional and structural obstacles to ensuring a minimally adequate system for administering capital punishment."
In October 2009, the Council approved this stronger statement, and the withdrawal of the MPC's death penalty provisions — along with the accompanying statement about "the current intractable institutional and structural obstacles to ensuring a minimally adequate system" — became the official policy of the ALI.
2. What was involved in the study?
Our study collected and evaluated the most recent information about the most significant issues surrounding the administration of capital punishment in the United States. The topics addressed included the limits of constitutional regulation of capital punishment, the politicization of the death penalty, racial discrimination in the administration of capital justice, juror confusion in capital cases, the inadequacy of resources (especially defense counsel services), the erroneous conviction of the innocent, the inadequate enforcement of federal constitutional rights, and the death penalty's effect on the administration of non-capital criminal justice.
3. What do you expect will be the long-term impact of this decision?
For the first time since the 1960's, the United States is seeing growing doubt and discomfort with the death penalty. In the past few years, a number of states have rejected capital punishment legislatively — New Jersey and New Mexico through straightforward legislative repeal and New York through the legislature's refusal to re-authorize the death penalty after the state's highest court invalidated New York's capital statute on grounds that were easily fixable. A growing number of other states are currently considering measures to study, limit, or repeal their death penalty statutes. In this context, the decision of the ALI to withdraw the death penalty provisions of the Model Penal Code — provisions that provided the template for the majority of the states' modern death penalty statutes — gives the proponents of repeal new strength and thoughtful support. The ALI is known for its careful and unbiased approach to legal reform, and its concerns should be and will be taken quite seriously.
4. Does this portend an eventual nationwide abolition of capital punishment?
As my brother Jordan and I have written (in a chapter in a book co-edited by HLS Professor Charles Ogletree entitled The Road to Abolition? NYU Press 2009), we doubt that all of the 35 states that currently authorize the death penalty will repeal their statutes any time in the foreseeable future. However, we also believe that a strong movement by enough of these states toward abolition could lead the United States Supreme Court to declare capital punishment unconstitutional under the Eighth Amendment as inconsistent with "evolving standards of decency" — the Court's description of its constitutional test for "cruel and unusual punishment." Nationwide abolition thus will happen judicially, rather than legislatively, if it happens at all. We are by no means certain that constitutional abolition will occur (or that it will not provoke a backlash if it does occur), but we think that the chances of such abolition are much greater know that at any time since the Court's short-lived attempt at abolition in Furman v. Georgia in 1972.
5. What issues are being litigated in death penalty cases now?
There remains a great deal of litigation about modes of execution and whether current protocols for administering lethal injections are sufficiently humane, especially in light of recent cases of botched executions like that of Romell Broom in Ohio this past September. Concerns about the possible innocence of death row inmates are always compelling. The Supreme Court took the highly unusual step this past summer in the case of Georgia death row inmate Troy Davis of ordering a lower court to "receive testimony and make findings of fact as to whether evidence that could not have been obtained at the time of trial clearly establishes petitioner's innocence." And questions about the adequacy of defense counsel performance, especially in the investigation of capital cases, are constantly an issue, reaching the Supreme Court with great frequency (three times in the past few months alone). Relatedly, in these difficult economic times, the same resource constraints that contribute to inadequate representation also can create extensive delays in resolving capital cases. The Supreme Court recently granted review to consider a Georgia capital defendant's claim that his constitutional right to a speedy trial was infringed by that absence of any funding for his defense for 2 years, and the absence of representation altogether for a period of 14 months.
6. Were any HLS students involved in this report?
Yes, an excellent team of HLS students provided superb research support for our report. The team consisted of Andrew Crespo '08, who was president of the Harvard Law Review and is currently clerking for Justice Stephen Breyer '64, Sonam (Sandy) Henderson '09, currently clerking for Judge Stephen Reinhardt on the 9th Circuit, Richard C. Chen '09 and Marco Lopez '09.

Bell tolls for Teachers TV
The UK Department for Education has pulled the plug on Teachers TV. Ten Alps, which co-owns the site with ITN, told the London stock exchange that the government is cancelling the £10 million (E11.5m) annual contract from April 2011 as part of the cuts.
Ten Alps CEO Alex Connock, said: "The news came out of the blue, the company had no inkling of the government's thinking, and was only informed by letter last night." The contract was due to run until 2013, but the government has invoked a six-month break clause.
Connock said he hoped the website would survive. The service, which began as a digital TV channel with a budget in excess of £20 million, moved to broadband last September, and currently has 400,000 registered users. Connock said the site had great potential as a subscription business and could also be adapted for international students and university-level training. It already carries some advertising, but sponsorship had been ruled out under the current contract.
Ten Alps has a 75 per cent share in the company, with ITN holding 25 per cent.

There are two distinct respiratory syndromes - acute (calf or enzootic) pneumonia which is usually more sudden in onset or chronic pneumonia which is more insidious in onset.
Pneumonia usually occurs in young housed calves (five weeks to five months old) either being reared as dairy replacements or in beef systems, usually reared indoors.
The aetiology (cause) is very complex and usually multifactorial involving infectious agents, the environment and the immune status of the animals themselves. Infectious agents involved include Mannheimia haemolytica, Haemophilus somnus, Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR), bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and Parainfluenza III Virus (PI3), along with many other bacteria and mycoplasma species and viruses.
Environmental factors include low environmental temperatures and high humidity and poor ventilation and also direct draughts onto calves themselves. The relationship between season and outbreaks may also be related to management practices including calving pattern and mixing of different ages of calves.
There may be breed differences in susceptibility to calf pneumonia and colostrum status and time of weaning can all affect immune status of the calf. Stresses such as mixing groups, movement and poor housing conditions can also affect immune status.
Acute pneumonia is usually noticed as a reduction in feeding by the calf, dull demeanour, dropping of the head, increased respiratory rate, nasal discharge and/or a cough along with a pyrexia (elevated temperature).
Chronic pneumonia is more gradual in onset with no distinct ill phase and the cow may appear to still eat well but may have a slight nasal discharge, sometimes with an increased respiratory rate and cough.
Both forms of the respiratory disease cause production losses as there is a reduction in liveweight gain and there may be deaths in the acute syndrome. Veterinary advice should be sought in order to discount other possible causes (eg, congenital disease, tuberculosis (TB)) and to discuss treatment and vaccination and management strategies.


Of course, the rest of the delegations come from governments just as hypocritical as the U.S. or Israel. The French never heard criticism of their murderous reign in Algeria or Viet Nam. The British don't accept being rebuked for two centuries of colonial oppression around the globe. Most of the countries in Africa and Asia carry out repression of different ethic groups inside their borders and deny they do it, just as Sudan and Mauritania deny the obvious existence of slavery within their borders. The difference is simply that the U.S., the predominant power in the world, is also the most arrogant in demanding that reality be rewritten to conform to its wishes.
In every country, politicians continue to whip up hysteria against some group or another – no matter if the so-called enemy is described by skin color, ethnic origin, or religious preference. And the resolutions produced by conferences like this one are nothing but pieces of paper which they all are ready to use as toilet paper as soon as they sign them.
