Our 37th wedding anniversary is in a couple of weeks.
How young we look!!!
We've had lots of downs and lots of ups. They seem to be getting better as we get older.
Here we are about ten years ago at a western history event in Tombstone, Arizona.
And a couple of years ago at a talk I gave in Sun City, Arizona.
The other day I was sitting at the kitchen table putting meds in our dog's ears. Doug was puttering around at the counter. We were having a nice conversation and it suddenly occurred to me how very comfortable and comforting that moment was. I told myself to always remember it.
We don't always need a special occasion to have a special memory. It just takes more effort to keep those special moments in mind.
Write about a special moment.
Write about a high school homecoming.
Write about going to football games in high school. Or perhaps playing in them.
Make a list of ten things that really annoy you. Why?
What crafts do you enjoy now?
Describe a place you enjoyed going as a child in as much detail as possible.
When you doodle what tends to be the most common subject?

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Carlos Gonzalez shielded his eyes from the sun and stuck out his glove.
The way things have been going for the Pittsburgh Pirates during the first three weeks of the season, having the Colorado left fielder make a catch with his eyes closed wouldn't have been out of the question.
For once, the ball hit the ground. And for once, the Pirates didn't let the good fortune go to waste.
Nate McLouth's RBI double skipped just under Gonzalez's outstretched mitt, sparking a five-run rally to lead the Pirates over the Rockies 5-1 on Wednesday as the teams split a doubleheader.
Colorado broke up James McDonald's no-hit bid in the seventh inning of the opener on its way to a 2-1 win. But baseball's worst offense tied a season-high for runs in a game after Gonzalez battled the sun and lost.
"We've had opportunities present themselves before, haven't been able to move on them," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. "We had an opportunity in the second game and we moved on it dramatically."
McLouth's hit led to an RBI single from Andrew McCutchen, a two-run homer from Garrett Jones and a solo shot from Pedro Alvarez, who homered in both games.
"I thought we played good baseball today," Alvarez said. "Tough game the first game and I thought we bounced back pretty well."
Thanks in part to the late afternoon sun glaring at Gonzalez as McLouth's sinking liner came in his general direction.
"It was one of those things where you can't catch something you don't see, you know?" Gonzalez said. "I didn't see the ball at all."
The Pirates will take it. They began the day with a major-league low 36 runs, mustered just one in the opener on Alvarez's homer before erupting off Jhoulys Chacin (0-2).
Charlie Morton (1-1) benefited as Pittsburgh offense broke out of a season-long slump, at least for an inning.
"It's always nice to have a lead," Morton said.
Something that's been a rarity for the Pirates this year. When Morton walked onto the mound to start the sixth with a five-run cushion, it was only the second time this season a Pittsburgh starter was on the hill up by at least two runs.
Despite the outburst Pittsburgh set a major league record by playing its 18th straight game starting the season in which neither team scored more than five runs, surpassing the standard set by the 1943 Detroit Tigers.
Still, Pittsburgh has remained competitive thanks to a pitching staff second in the National League in ERA (2.72).
The pitching staff has remained patient, insisting help is eventually on the way.
It didn't come in the opener.
McDonald ended up with a no-decision after the Rockies scratched across two runs — on just three hits — to win.
The veteran right-hander flirted with the first Pirates no-hitter since Francisco Cordova and Ricardo Rincon combined over 10 innings against the Astros on July 12, 1997.
McDonald was nearly flawless before Troy Tulowitzki's infield single with one on in the seventh. McDonald gave up one run and one hit in seven innings, striking out eight and walking three.
Despite the buzz that built around PNC Park as the zeros piled up, McDonald didn't spend much time thinking about how close he'd come until he was removed before the start of the eighth inning.
"I was like, 'Man, two more innings is all I needed,"' McDonald said. "You're aware of it, but are you thinking about it pitch by pitch. I'd rather have the win or the no-hitter."
Matt Reynolds (2-0) won in relief of starter Juan Nicasio. Rafael Betancourt worked the ninth for his sixth save.
Chris Resop (0-2) lost after relieving McDonald in the eighth.
Resop hit pinch-hitter Eric Young with a pitch, Marco Scutaro singled and Tyler Colvin followed with a sacrifice fly off reliever Tony Watson, and Young just beat Jose Tabata's throw to the plate.
"I don't know if I could name another guy in the league that's going to score from third base on the ball that Colvin hit," Tracy said. "There's probably a couple other guys who would try, but it's less than five I guarantee you as far as guys who would take off from third on that fly to get us the run we needed to win."
Colorado ended a six-game road trip with a 3-3 record.
"Our bats need to come to life, and we all believe that we're going to get hot and put up numbers and score a lot of runs for the pitchers," Gonzalez said. "We just need to start winning more series.
NOTES: As part of the new collective bargaining agreement, both teams were allowed to add a roster spot for the doubleheader. The Pirates recalled reliever Jared Hughes from Triple-A Indianapolis while the Rockies brought up reliever Zach Putnam. Hughes pitched a scoreless ninth for Pittsburgh in the first game then was sent to the minors in the evening. ... The Pirates are off Thursday then begin a six-game trip on Friday in Atlanta. A.J. Burnett (1-0, 0.00 ERA) will face Tommy Hanson (2-2, 3.38 ERA). ... The Rockies are also off Thursday and start a three-game set against the Mets on Friday. Drew Pomeranz (0-1, 6.75 ERA) will start for Colorado. The Mets had not announced a starter.

Italy Elects First Two-Term President
Giorgio Napolitano was elected as Italy's first two-term president, but this won't resolve the underlying political instability still facing the country. Nevertheless, the breakthrough should help avert the need for another general election for now.

Durango got a show-and-tell Wednesday as Councilor Sweetie Marbury held up a Cheerios cereal box and various kinds of plastic, such as take-out salad and produce containers, that can go into the citys new single-stream recycling plan, set to begin the week of Feb. 4 with curbside pickup.
Councilor Christina Rinderle said Marbury should have brought old toilet paper rolls to demonstrate the comprehensiveness of the single-stream program, which is expected to fill residents 60 and 90 gallon containers on a weekly basis.
The public is urged to register at Durangorecycles.com or call 375-5004 for a new container. A new monthly recycling fee of $3 would go into effect in March pending the result of upcoming public hearings. The same fee covers either the 60- or 90-gallon container.
At an initial hearing Wednesday, the city got some skepticism about how much recyclables residents would actually produce and questions about whether the city would give a refund for the old recycle bins.
City Manager Ron LeBlanc said the city would not refund the old bins, but said they were recyclable as part of the new program.
Councilor Dick White said he would use his old bin to collect beer bottles because glass cannot put in the new single-stream containers with the rest of the recyclables. Crushed glass would contaminate the rest of the recyclables, which are compacted by a baler to be disassembled later at a receiving plant and sold on the market.
Residents will be asked to take their glass to seven collection sites across the city. The city has not yet designated all the glass-collection sites, but they are expected to be located at the citys current drop-off sites for recyclables, such as north City Market, Wagon Wheel Liquors and the Recycle Center on Tech Drive. The city also expects to select additional sites near major retailers such as Walmart and Star Liquor.
To minimize conflicts with bears looking for food, the city of Durango recommends regular trash containers and recycling containers be placed out for collection no earlier than 6 a.m. the day of collection and removed from the right of way no later than 8 p.m. the same day.
In an interview, Joe Lewandowski, a public information officer for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, liked that the city was being proactive.
Were always asking people to take care of their trash, and its going to be a never-ending quest, he said. The revised ordinance is certainly a step in the right direction.
Lewandowski also emailed the council Wednesday asking the city to take action to reduce food waste at construction sites because construction workers old pizza boxes and burger wrappers also have been attracting bears.

ಹುರಿಗಾಳು/Hurigalu is a delicious munching snack of Mysore/Karnataka. It is a low calorie and absolutely healthy snack which can be addictive. Spicy hurigalu with a cup of coffee, a good book to read is a good combo for timepass. Translated to English Hurigalu means roasted beans. Now does that sound delicious? To me yes! Traditionally it is made in large oven or what we called Bhatti in Kannada.
Hurigalu constitues green bean (ಹೆಸರುಕಾಳು), black eyed peas/red chori(ಅಲಸ೦ದೆ), horsegram (ಹುರುಳಿಕಾಳು), peanuts (ಶೇ೦ಗ), chickpeas(ಕಡಲೆಕಾಳು), soyabean etc. Soaked beans are stirfried in traditional oven. Because I love this snack I have a shortcut taught by mom to make them anytime. Beans sambar/saaru is equally delicious and healthy too. Since most of you know to make sambhar, let me share the recipe to make hurigalu. Its raining in Singapore and it made a perfect evening snack for us yesterday.
To make hurigalu you need the following :
Green beans , black eyed peas, horsegram, chickpeas, or your choice of beans - 1 cup
red chilli powder and salt mixed together with a drop of oil.
Procedure :
1.Soak the beans for 4-5 hrs in water.
2.Strain water from the beans and wipe them with a dry towel.
3. Heat a thick bottomed pan (I used cooker pan) on low-medium heat.
4. When the pan is sufficiantly hot, add a fistfull of beans and fry them till beans start crackling. When they stop dancing on the pan it indicates that beans are done. Remove them and pour into a large plate. Repeat the process with rest of the beans.
5. You can microwave peanuts in btw to hasten the process.
6. Fold in the chilli powder with the hot beans. Add a drop of oil which helps the chilli powder to stick to the beans. Enjoy them when beans are at room temp. When hot they tend to be bit soft.
Note: You can even make them using chickpeas only! Heard from SPICEOFLIFE her mom makes this during holi.
You can store them in a airtight container when they are at room temperature. Enjoy Hurigalu!

Castlegate - The GetawayPosted in Events on February 1, 2011
Lone Writer was suddenly awakened by the sound of something snorting outside his tent. His hand wrapped around the grip of his .357 Magnum and his thumb released the safety. He was in bear country and his first thought was one of being visited by momma bear and her cubs.
It was that time of morning when the forest was beginning to light up, but the sun had not yet made itself visible on the horizon. A gentle breeze meandered through the trees, slightly rustling the leaves and making it difficult to determine which sounds were coming from the movement of air and which ones were being made by the visitor.
Whatever was outside slowly moved away from the tent. Lone Writer rose and opened a flap on one side. The scene outside his tent brought a smile to his face as his thumb reset the safety on his pistol. The campsite he selected the night before was filled with deer of all ages. He watched them for a while then unzipped the tent door. As if by magic, the deer faded into the forest.
Lone Writer was in the forest atop the Book Cliffs north of Harley Dome, Utah. He was following the getaway route of the outlaws who robbed Castle Gate in 1897. After spending a few months hiding on Robbers Roost, the thieves decided to head for Powder Springs on the border of Colorado and Wyoming. The plan was to hook up with Old Man Bender's Powder Springs gang and use the Castle Gate money to throw the biggest party of their lifetime.
The outlaws crossed the wide, open country between Green River and Vernal by riding an Indian trail up Thompson Canyon, then cutting across the Indian Reservation. There was not a road making that connection; but Middle Canyon road makes the ascent to the top of the Book Cliffs Plateau skirting the eastern boundary of that same reservation.
Today, the Middle Canyon Road is the only motorized access to the top of the Book Cliffs between Green River and Harley Dome. It is a major graded dirt road and is used frequently by heavy trucks servicing oil fields. It is winding, narrow in places, and has a steep grade at times, but does not take long before it reaches the crest. It then connects to the Book Cliffs Ridge Road where scenic views are plentiful. The ridge road works its way across the top of the Book Cliffs, meandering in and out of heavily forested areas with lots of great camping spots.
After turning off the Book Cliffs Ridge Road and heading North, Lone Writer passed an intersection for the ghost town of Rainbow. There are no buildings left from the town. If you wander around the area, you will see evidence of digging and mining.
Beyond Rainbow, the road runs in and out of one wash after the other, but continues to be graded. It eventually connects to a paved road going to Bonanza. Once in Bonanza, you will be almost due east of Ouray and still running parallel to the route used by the outlaws.
After leaving Bonanza, the paved road goes to Vernal. Lone Writer turned off the pavement before getting there and used more scenic backcountry roads to reach Jensen. Both cities have gas and supplies, but Vernal has a much better selection.
When the outlaws passed through on their way to Brown's Hole, Vernal was a thriving community. The LDS Church had set it up as a town 15 years earlier. The outlaws may have witnessed some celebrations going on during their visit, because Vernal was actually becoming incorporated during that time.
The lands now occupied by the city of Vernal were originally called the Bench. It is near the center of Ashley Valley and very near the north end of the Uintah Indian Reservation. During the fall of 1879, an Indian uprising occurred, beginning with the massacre of an Indian agent. Those who resided on homesteads scattered around the Bench were sure that they would be attacked by the renegades. In defense, a fort was quickly constructed by taking homesteaders cabins apart and moving the logs to the location of the fort.
The attack never came but most of the settlers remained in the fort for the winter. Lack of food, contaminated food, and a harsh winter took its toll on the group. When spring came, the group split up with many of them going back to their homesteads, but the fort remained in tact. During the following summer, a town built up around the fort and that town became known as Ashley Center.
As the community grew, the settlers decided to petition to get their own post office. The postal service would not use the name Ashley Center due to conflicts with other towns having a similar name, so the name Vernal was assigned to the post office, and eventually the entire community became known by that name. Nowadays, you will find everything you need in Vernal from supplies to Internet service.
No doubt the outlaws stopped long enough to shake off some of the dust from the four-day ride that brought them to that point, but the one thing still front and foremost on their minds was getting to Brown's Hole. They figured it was time for a whooping big party and that would not be possible until they had enough other outlaws around them to ensure the law would not move in.
From Vernal, the shortest way into Brown's Hole is by way of Crouse Canyon. It is the kind of canyon often used in movies for the entrance into an outlaw hideout. The walls are steep, the canyon is narrow, and a single gunman with a good rifle could hold off an entire posse from any number of vantage points.
The north end of Crouse Canyon opens up into the Valley known at that time as Brown's Hole. The name has since been changed to Brown's Park. The main road travels northeast and uses a swinging bridge to cross the Green River. Of course, the bridge was not there in 1897. The crossing most commonly used was the ferry at Jarvie's Outpost.
The road to Jarvie's Outpost is more primitive than the main road, but is still an easy drive. It hugs the wall of the mountains penetrated by Crouse Canyon for several miles before turning north on a direct course for Jarvie's. At the point where the road crosses the Green River, there is a campground with plenty of room to set up a tent on the river's edge.
From I-70, take the Harley Dome Exit. Go north on the graded road toward the Book Cliffs. At the intersections, stay on the Middle Canyon Road to the top of the cliffs. This is the intersection for Divide Ridge Road.

Jim Swartz Still Out Front At The 2009 Melges 32 East Coast Championship
16 May 2009
Rye, N.Y. (May 16) - Jim Swartz (Edgartown, Mass.) on USA-007 Q took competition to the max today at the 2009 Melges 32 East Coast Championship, hosted by the American Yacht Club in Rye, N.Y. maintaining his overall lead position. "Anything can happen tomorrow. We're going to just try not to have any bad races tomorrow." commented Swartz. In second overall is Alex Jackson (Riverside, Conn.) on USA-174 Leenabarca, and fourth is Kip Meadows (Rocky Mount, N.C.) on USA-77 roXanne.
The fleet was not only greeted this morning with gloomy, dark overcast skies but a very heavy fog that prompted a brief on land postponement. Shortly thereafter the seven-strong Melges 32 fleet left the harbor. The first start was delayed considering the original start time was originally scheduled for 10:30. Three great races were conducted - two short and one extended, each presenting the championship with three different winners.
On the course, things were equally grim as back on land. A heavy fog gave way to extremely low visibility conditions making it hard to set the course, much less race. Lumpy seas were part of the mix, cool temps and a nice breeze. Once off, the first race of the day witnessed a great comeback for Jason Carroll (New York, N.Y.) on USA-128 Argo with John Baxter as tactician. They charged the fleet with great speed taking the first win of the day. Swartz and Meadows were his greatest contenders, landing second and third.
With a course bearing of 180 degrees at 2nm and twice around, race two brought out the best of Jackson and his team. A great start and sound decisions upwind put him out front as the breeze really started to play around and shift. Jackson maintained his lead upwind. Swartz placed second and in third was Geoffery Pierini (Bernardsville, N.J.) on USA-184 Shakedown.
Race three was a lengthier and longer race but, John Taylor (Jupiter, Fla.) had a superb day, taking it all in stride.Taylor's pretty good start and choices landed him with a lead. For nearly the entire race both Carroll and Jackson tried to catch him, but it wasn't meant to be. The two finished respectively. The next best battle was between Meadows and Swartz as they jostled for position. Jackson took second, Pierini was third, Carroll fourth and in fifth was Meadows.
Also making today very special was the Take A Junior Sailing program. Several of AYC's aspiring youth sailors actually raced onboard with the Melges 32s making this one of the most unique opportunities for juniors in the sport. "I really learned a lot", said Walter Florio, who served under Jim Swartz's leadership. "I had a lot of fun. I love sailing so it was great just to be able to go out. I had a great time." he admitted decked-out from head-to-toe in his Q Team gear.
Racing concludes on Sunday.
Top Three Results (After Seven Races)
1.) Jim Swartz, Q; 1-1-1-4-2-2-[7] = 11
2.) Alex Jackson, Leenabarca; 2-3-[5]-2-4-1-2 = 24
3.) Kip Meadows, roXanne; 3-2-4-6-3-[7]-5 = 23

Price spins All-Star-worthy gem in Rays' shutout
ST. PETERSBURG -- A day after being scratched from making his start, David Price threw eight-plus scoreless innings to pace the Rays' 3-0 win over the Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon at Tropicana Field.
The Rays took the series to end the first half on a roll, claiming four of their final five series while winning 11 of their last 15 games. They are 20-11 since June 11. Prior to that date, the Rays lost 14 of 15.View Full Game Coverage
ST. PETERSBURG -- A day after being scratched from making his start, David Price threw eight-plus scoreless innings to pace the Rays' 3-0 win over the Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon at Tropicana Field.
The Rays took the series to end the first half on a roll, claiming four of their final five series while winning 11 of their last 15 games. They are 20-11 since June 11. Prior to that date, the Rays lost 14 of 15.View Full Game Coverage
"I've permitted myself to look at our record; we're less than 10 under," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "We're still trending in the right direction. It's still a tough hill to climb, but I think our guys are up for the challenge.
"There was no letup the day before the All-Star break. We didn't mail anything in. We weren't eager to get out of here. We wanted to come out and play another great game. We played a great series and short-term goal met, we won another series."
Price said he realized he could make his 20th start of the season on Sunday while watching the Rays' win Saturday afternoon, teasing that he was mad he didn't make his Saturday start after the Rays scored 10 runs. The ace continued his streak of excellence, posting his ninth consecutive quality start to mint his ninth win.
Price seemed to struggle a little in the first when he threw 23 pitches before cruising for the remainder of his outing, which he attributed to being able to slow himself down.
"It's been a week since I've been out there, so I wanted to throw good," Price said. "But I was able to slow myself down after that first inning, and that's been the case for a while. Maybe a little bit too pumped up, too amped up in the first. We were able to slow it down after that."
Credit the Rays offense for finding a way to get it done against tough Blue Jays starter R.A. Dickey, whose knuckleball was dancing in a fashion that let everyone know runs would be hard to come by.
"In the beginning of the game, we got the [leadoff] walk to [Kevin] Kiermaier, then once he struck out [Ben] Zobrist, I knew he was going to start finding the groove and he did," Maddon said. "We scratched out a couple of runs, fortunately for us."
Despite that troubling prospect Dickey presented, Tampa Bay got busy with two outs in the second.
Yunel Escobar dropped in a single to right and Dickey hit Jose Molina to set the table for Logan Forsythe, who singled to right to score Escobar for a 1-0 Rays lead.
Dickey and Price continued to lock horns, and the idea wasn't far-fetched that the one-run lead might hold, particularly after Dickey retired the Rays on six pitches in the fifth.
But Escobar's good karma continued when he hustled on a grounder he hit with a runner on base and one out in the sixth, and he wasn't doubled up on the play. Escobar then stole second before Molina lined a single to right. Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista fielded Molina's hit and made a strong and accurate throw to the plate. Catcher Josh Thole caught the throw and made the tag to the sliding Escobar, who leaped up and gave the safe sign while home-plate umpire Sean Barber signaled out.
Maddon challenged the ruling and the call was overturned, giving the Rays a 2-0 lead.
Dickey did not return to pitch the seventh, and Kiermaier greeted Brett Cecil with a single and Zobrist followed with a walk. After Sean Rodriguez struck out, Todd Redmond came in to pitch to Evan Longoria. That's when the Rays pulled off a double-steal, with Kiermaier flying head-first safely into third base. Longoria followed with a sacrifice fly to push the lead to 3-0.
Price was given the opportunity to go for the complete game, but Maddon lifted him after Melky Cabrera singled to start the ninth. Maddon explained that Price was at 112 pitches at that point and he did not want to risk another runner getting on board before bringing in Jake McGee.
The call turned out to be the right one.
McGee, who just returned from the paternity list, retired each of the three hitters he faced -- two by strikeouts -- to preserve the win and record his seventh save.
"That's a perennial All-Star over there and he did a great job today," Dickey said. "What can you say? He shut us down. Almost threw a complete-game shutout. You know when you're pitching against a guy like that you don't have a lot of margin for error anyway. ... He pitched a heck of a game really."
While the Rays will enter the second half of the season in a hole, there's a strong belief in their clubhouse they can get back into the race.
"We just focus in on the task at hand that day," Price said. "And that's what we've been doing, and we've been playing a lot better. Hopefully the All-Star break doesn't put us into a lull."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The MIT water polo team traveled across town Wednesday night to take on its oldest and most familiar rival, Harvard, in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) opener for both teams. The host Crimson was able to take control of the game during the deciding third period en route to a 9-6 win over the Engineers. The meeting was the 89th between the two Cambridge schools in a series that began in 1970. Mark Artz had a pair of goals to lead Tech, which fell to 1-8 on the season.
Devin Lewis gave the Cardinal and Grey the early advantage just over two minutes into the contest. Harvard struck back with two more scores to take a 2-1 lead after one period. Tech fell behind even further after two quick goals from the Crimson to start the second. However, Mark Artz netted the first of three MIT tallies in the frame to help close the halftime deficit to just one.
Harvard opened the second half with back-to-back goals as the lead expanded to 7-4. That score held up for most of the stanza until Matt Perkins took advantage of a man-up situation in the final minute of the third. It appeared the Engineers would be able to enter the final period trailing just 7-5. However, Harvard benefitted from another goal as time expired to swell its lead back to three. The teams exchanged scores early in the fourth but MIT was unable to get any closer the rest of the way.
Both teams will be back in action this weekend at the ECAC Championship, hosted by Princeton. Tech is the no. six seed and will face Brown in the opening round. Harvard earned the no. nine seed and opens with George Washington.

Starbound pre-orders bring in $1m for Chucklefish
Indie developer Chucklefish's Starbound has brought in more than $1m in pre-order sales.
A blog post on Starbound's official site reveals the milestone, which arrives just 16 days after the game was made available for purchase.
Chucklefish, led by former Terraria designer Finn "Tiy" Brice, opened pre-orders for the 2D sandbox game on April 13th. The studio put together a tier-based rewards system with stretch goals in the vein of a Kickstarter campaign, and the results turned out to be a major win for everyone involved.
"Words can't even express how grateful and overwhelmed we are by all the support you've shown us," the post reads. "Not just over the past couple of weeks, but for the past year or so since Starbound was officially announced. You're all amazing, and we're going to continue to work our butts off to make Starbound an awesome game for you."
The Starbound pre-order page currently boasts $1,026,147 raised by 42,355 backers.

"I still don't know what it symbolizes, but I like it!" says the delightfully dopey announcer about these two fine fellows who have taken up residence next to the penalty box at Canucks games. I feel the same way about this website.
Good morning! I'm Katie, and I'm here on short notice to keep you occupied on this cold winter's day. (Sorry, was that too New York centric?)
See what happened is, I got home from work yesterday and stole an errant Sports Illustrated that was lying around the mail room. There's no real excuse for my actions* other than I had a craving for some Letters to the Editor with sentences like "This team will definitely be dancing with the stars in March." You know?
Anyway, karma's a bitch: like five minutes later I got an email from your Senior Editor, Tommy Craggs.
Yo, Katie. Call me when you get this. I have a favor to ask, and I'll be more persuasive over the phone.
Tommy baby, if I knew it was going to be like that, I would have at least put on some lipstick! Anyway, what can I say. The man's got moves, and here I am.
• While you were sleeping, Serena Williams defeated fresh-out-of-retirement Justine Henin in three sets to win her fifth Australian Open and tie Billie Jean King with 12 Grand Slam titles. "She gave me all I could handle tonight," admitted Williams, presumably while panting and glistening with sweat.
• Chicago's Luol Deng forced overtime with a last-second basket and the Chicago Bulls came back to defeat the Hornets 108-106 and put the Bulls above .500.
• Meanwhile, the Post helpfully points out that while the New Jersey Nets' "latest glorious winning streak may have died at one," the 4-41 team "still can finish at .500." I bet Fred Kerber is a hit at the casino.
• A bitchy golfer is sniping at Phil Mickelson for exploiting a boring loophole in the rules and using a Ping-Eye 2 wedge that was made 20 years ago and features now-banned "square grooves." And now I'm thinking Vampire Weekend should write a song rhyming that with "man boobs."
Anyway, please don't be shy with the tips. Sharing is caring, although if you smoke all my weed, man, you gotta call the green man.
*Excuse for the sin of desiring Sports Illustrated, obviously. The stealing, whatever.

Is America Losing Its Startup Edge?
from the not-good dept
But the truth is that if the government wants to really create new jobs, it needs to support the startup ecosystem. Research from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and the US Census Bureau last year found that startups really are the key to both gross and net job growth. So if the government really wants to encourage economic growth and new jobs it should be focused on making sure the startup ecosystem is strong and vibrant. Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be the case. When we see proposals like SOPA, which will hinder startups by placing tremendous liability on them and scaring off investors, we get worried.
Already, the situation isn't great. While the US certainly has the reputation for being friendly to startups, Aaron DeOliveira, points us to a report that shows that the US is actually 23rd on a list of startups per working-age population within countries that are members of the OECD. Even France is ahead of us.
This does not bode well for the US economy or for job growth. For innovation to thrive, we need the creative destruction and economic and job growth brought about by startups and entrepreneurs. We don't get that when the government is "captured" by the large legacy players who are only focused on "protecting" and defending their turf, rather than fostering innovation, growing the economy and creating jobs.

Revised Agenda for UW Trustees on Friday
The University of Wyoming Board of Trustees has a revised agenda for the board's special meeting on Friday, Oct. 12.
The board will now meet in open session beginning at 10 a.m. in Old Main Room 404 to interview consulting firms to assist with UW's presidential search process. Trustees then are expected to move into executive session at about 11:30 a.m. to discuss the search firms.
The board will then move back into open session in the afternoon in the Old Main board room to consider action on a search consultant and a resolution regarding the search process.
While no decisions have been made, trustees last week indicated they are leaning toward using a consulting firm to accept applications and recruit candidates. The board also indicated it likely will create multiple committees to evaluate applicants and narrow the list of candidates. Those committees are likely to be made up of members of the Board of Trustees, as well as UW faculty, students, staff, representatives of the UW Foundation, and individuals not directly affiliated with the university.
Ultimately, it will be the 12-member Board of Trustees that hires the successor to President Tom Buchanan, who is retiring as president at the end of summer 2013. Board members indicated they are committed to attracting a deep pool of possible candidates.

Jury: Dodgers partly responsible for Stow beating
Jury: Team partly responsible for Giants fan's injuries
The Los Angeles Dodgers were partly responsible for the 2011 beating of Giants fan Bryan Stow, a jury ruled Wednesday in awarding the Santa Cruz man $18 million from the team and the two men who attacked him.
Stow and his family sued the organization and its former owner Frank McCourt for negligence, claiming that Dodgers management did not provide enough security at Dodger Stadium to prevent the assault that left Stow permanently disabled and put a stain on professional sports rivalries.
The Dodgers' attorney argued during a monthlong trial that Stow had partly brought the attack on himself by drunkenly berating Dodgers fans, and the verdict awarded him substantially less than what he had sought. The lawsuit filed by Stow and his family in Los Angeles County Superior Court asked for more than $50 million, mostly to cover lifetime care for traumatic brain injury.
Tom Girardi, an attorney for Stow's family, said the verdict means the Dodgers must pay about $14 million in economic losses to the former paramedic. Because the jury assigned 25 percent responsibility for Stow's pain and suffering to the Dodgers, the team must pay $1 million of the $4 million awarded to him for that part of the verdict, Girardi said.
McCourt absolved in case
The rest of the pain-and-suffering judgment was divided evenly between the two men who pleaded guilty to beating Stow. They are both in prison, and their ability to pay is unknown.
The jury absolved McCourt of any responsibility.
"You would always say it would be nice if there were some more (money), but the fact of the matter is we're very pleased," Girardi said. "This money is going to really help this family."
He said Stow was "very, very happy" about the verdict.
Stow, 45, was attacked in the stadium parking lot after an Opening Day game against the San Francisco Giants on March 31, 2011. Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood were sentenced in February to eight and four years in prison, respectively, after pleading guilty to felony charges in the attack.
The beating left Stow in need of round-the-clock medical care.
"Dodger Stadium got to a place where it was a total mess," Girardi told jurors. "There was a culture of violence. Beer sales were off the charts."
Lawyer blames attackers
The Dodgers' attorney, Dana Fox, said blame for the attack lay with Sanchez and Norwood, not the team. He contended that the security presence at the game was greater than at any other Opening Day in the Dodgers' history, and that Stow's beating could not have been prevented.
He also suggested Stow had played a role in the attack, relating a witness account of him yelling at Dodger fans in the parking lot. He also cited testimony that Stow's blood alcohol level was 0.18 percent - more than double the legal limit for driving.
"There were three parties responsible - Sanchez, Norwood and, unfortunately, Stow himself," Fox said. "There were things Mr. Stow did that put these things in action."
Girardi countered that "the only thing Bryan Stow was doing was wearing a jersey that said 'Giants.' "
Stow appeared in court June 25, one day before the case went to the jury. He was in a wheelchair, with the head scars visible from the lifesaving surgery he had after the attack. His attorney has said Stow has no recollection of the incident.
Stow and three friends had driven to Los Angeles to watch the Giants' first game since winning the 2010 World Series. When Stow left the stadium, words were exchanged between his party and Sanchez.
Sanchez proceeded to hit Stow's friends. After the groups were separated, Sanchez chased down Stow and attacked him from behind.
Falling short
The jury's award to Stow falls short of what many victims with permanent disabilities have won against those found liable for their condition, said Nanci Clarence, a San Francisco attorney who has argued several such cases.
"This has to be a bit of a disappointment for the family," Clarence said, adding that it's unlikely Stow will collect the portion owed by the men who beat him.
"The name of the game is collecting insurance dollars," she said. "There's a very high likelihood that the two sentenced defendants are not going to have insurance money."
Coach raising funds
Giants third base coach Tim Flannery, who has been active in fundraising for Stow, said, "I didn't get too involved with the legal aspect of the situation, but I know there's some relief from the family. There is a relief that Bryan was not held responsible. But the $18 million doesn't cover the medical bills owed."
The Giants have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Stow, mostly through benefit concerts held by Flannery and his band, the Lunatic Fringe. Flannery said Wednesday that he is planning four additional concerts for January.
"The Stow family showed me so much about responsibility," Flannery said. "They all became full-time caregivers as soon as this happened. I know they've been through a rough, rough patch."

A hamburger supper will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday to benefit the Grand Prairie JOB Center in memory of former supporter and member of the board of directors Glenn Bauman.
Last year, Bauman's friends and co-workers planned and orchestrated a benefit with all of the proceeds going to the Grand Prairie JOB Center in Bauman's name and pledged to have the benefit each year.
"We wanted to begin a fundraiser and decided on this one near Glenn's heart," Ann Pond, one of the organizers of the fundraiser, said.
Pond said Bauman enjoyed his support of the Grand Prairie JOB Center so much that the employees of Farmers and Merchants Bank, where Bauman was a vice president, wanted to do something in his honor and give all proceeds to the center.
"We could think of nothing else but this fundraiser for the job center," Pond said. "He always thought of the center and always visited the center at least once a week."
The Grand Prairie JOB Center provides services and a safe place for adults with developmental disabilities in Stuttgart. Bauman was a board member until he died in December 2010.
The Glenn N. Bauman Memorial Hamburger Supper is a carry-out only event. Tickets are $8 and plates include a hamburger with all the trimmings, potato chips and a homemade dessert.
For tickets or more information, contact Farmers and Merchants Bank at (870) 673-6911.

'a valuable necklace like that' = 'such a valuable necklace'. The full form would be 'a valuable necklace like that valuable necklace' (seems redundant, but then it is used for stress); 'like that' modifies 'valuable necklace'. You could make a case for 'like that' modifying an indicated place in which the necklace has been left, but this would require an examination of further context or tone of voice.

Finally! It took four games, but the Boston Celtics second-round series with the Orlando Magic is no longer looking like a severe letdown.
Most basketball fans have had the series circled since mid-April, when the Cleveland Cavaliers clinched the best record in the Eastern conference, and put Boston and Orlando, the teams with the third- and fourth-best records in the NBA this year, on a collision course for a second-round matchup. The anticipation was heightened when the Celtics played an epic seven-game series against the Chicago Bulls in the first round that featured one transcendent play after another and a record four games that required overtime to settle the score.
However, before Sunday, the Magic and Celtics had failed to live up to the billing. Two of the first three games were desultory blowouts, and the first game of the series, a 95-90 Magic win, was only close at the end.
Then came Sunday night's close, hard-fought drama. By now, you probably know that the Celtics won 95-94 on a buzzer beating shot by Glen "Big Baby" Davis. And that isn't the half of it.
For one, Davis scored five of the Celtics last six points, including a jump shot from the elbow to give the Cs a 93-92 lead with 31 seconds to go. In fact, Davis' two baskets in the final minute of the game were the only Celtics field goals in the last seven minutes of the game. Yet Orlando's shutdown of the Boston offense wasn't the major defensive story: The big news was how thoroughly the Celtics clamped down on the Magic. Following Game 3 on Friday, when the Magic shot 59.1 percent in a 117-96 romp, the Celtics held Orlando to an ice-cold 40 percent (34-85), and in a one-point win, every miss mattered.
The Celtics adopted a daring strategy in which the Boston defenders played a step back from their man, ceding the outside shot, often a three-pointer, in favor of preventing drives to the lane. That is where Boston, their front-court thinned by injuries to all-star forward Kevin Garnett and key reserve Leon Powe, knew they would be vulnerable. Against most teams, this is a sensible strategy, but the Magic were second in the league this season in most three-pointers attempted per game and seventh in accuracy. Yet, the strategy worked; Orlando shot 5-27 from downtown. If they shot 6-27, the Magic would be one win away from their first trip to the Eastern conference finals in 13 years.
On Sunday afternoon, the Houston Rockets shocked the Los Angeles Lakers, 99-87, in a game that wasn't anywhere near as close as the final score suggests. It was shocking because the Rockets were without center Yao Ming, who suffered a hairline fracture of a bone in his foot in Friday night's game, a 108-94 Lakers victory. The Rockets were also already without swingman Tracy McGrady and backup center Dikembe Mutombo. In other words, they entered Sunday afternoon's game with only no player taller than 6'10'' to face a Los Angeles team that sometimes plays three men taller than that at the same time. Since the Lakers had already won six of seven games against Houston this season (four in the regular season, and two of three in the post-season), the Rockets' injury situation seemed to spell doom for them.
Wrong. The Rockets came out and played small ball to perfection. Playing aggressive, swarming defense, the Rockets scored the first nine points, and led by 13 after one period, by 18 at half, and by the end of the third quarter, the game was essentially over; the Rockets led 83-54. Houston's final points of the third quarter came on an alley-oop pass from 60 feet away to the smallest man on the floor, Rockets guard Aaron Brooks, who scored a career high 34 points.
The Lakers seemed dazed, as if they didn't know what hit them. They should have. The Rockets played a similar defense to the one they employed in their 100-92 win in Game 1 last Monday. Houston shut down the middle and forced the Lakers' perimeter players to beat them with jump shots; Los Angeles wasn't up to the task. The lone difference on Sunday was that the Rockets conceded the matchup at center. Pau Gasol shot 11-17 and scored 30 points. The rest of the Lakers shot 23-59 and mustered only 57 points. Yes, Kobe Bryant played, but he scored only 15 points on 7-17 shooting. The Rockets kept him out of lane, and Kobe didn't attempt a single free throw.
As the Lakers prepare for Game 5 on Tuesday night, they have their own injury concerns. Versatile forward Lamar Odom left the game in the third quarter after a collision and was suffering back spasms. His availability for the next game is uncertain. Also, center Andrew Bynum, who has been playing with a brace to stabilize his surgically repaired right knee, told the L.A. Daily News that he's only 85-90 percent, and his sparing use and middling play back his words up.
It's hard to imagine the Rockets maintaining the level of inspired play that they showed on Sunday, but I have to think that Houston coach Rick Adelman has been waiting seven years for this chance. In 2002, he was the coach of the Sacramento Kings, and they lost to the Lakers in a tense seven-game series that was so poorly officiated that it's exhibit A for anyone who thinks NBA games are fixed. Adelman is probably the best active NBA coach without a championship ring, and 2002 was his best chance. Without Yao, Houston's chances of winning this year are slim, but eliminating the Lakers would be very sweet revenge.
The action on Sunday was a great argument that the NBA playoffs are full of drama and uncertainty, and this sets the stage for what should be a week of great basketball.

CARPENTERSVILLE – It seems that the Cary-Grove girls basketball team fell into an all-too-familiar trap – the catch game.
The Trojans have a much-anticipated Fox Valley Conference Valley Division game against division-leading Huntley on Saturday and they seemed to overlook Wednesday's FVC Valley matchup against Dundee-Crown, at least for the first half.
"Saturday is going to be a huge game for us," Joslyn Nicholson said.
Nicholson jump-started the Trojans in the second half and finished with 10 points in the Trojans' 39-18 victory against the Chargers.
"I think we were getting ahead of ourselves because we have been too focused on Saturday," Nicholson said. "I think against teams like Dundee-Crown, people see the records and always expect us to win even though they play tough every night. And when the pressure is on like that, we tend to get ahead of ourselves. We try to do things that we shouldn't be doing and we don't take care of the ball. We need to hustle more from the beginning and not be lazy."
In the first quarter, the Trojans (11-6 overall, 4-1 FVC Valley) mustered only one point in the and seemingly every shot attempt rolled off the rim or didn't touch it at all. Including free throws, the Trojans missed their first 12 shot attempts.
The opening quarter went like this: Nicholson had three steals but couldn't connect on the ensuing three layups. Both Olivia Jakubicek and Kaite Barker missed a combined four free throws before Nicholson connected on one for her teams' only point.
Jereneka Baker came off the bench for the Chargers and scored six points on three successive possessions to give her team a 10-9 lead at halftime. In the locker room, Trojans' coach Andy Donaldson knew he had some changes to make.
"Dundee-Crown did a nice job of getting back on those steals in the first half," said Donaldson, who was taking over for head coach Rod Saffert after Saffert injured his back. "[D-C] gave us some fits; they really played us tough. They always had a couple people on our inside player and when we would get a steal, Dundee-Crown would be getting right back and they contested a lot of our shots."
The Chargers (2-15, 0-5) came ready to play and coach Michelle Russell was pleased with the way her team defended as it forced 10 turnovers while playing a tough man-to-man with high energy.
Trojans leading scorer Olivia Jakubicek was held to 12 points by a collective effort from the Chargers.
Emilie Michalski – who scored two points – was one of the players whom Donaldson was talking about as the the 6-foot forward defended the basket well. Jakubicek constantly split defenders to get to the rim but Michalski was always there in defense.
"We played really, really well defensively," Russell said. "They put a lot of hard work in tonight, and for us to hold Nicholson and Jakubicek to their totals and their team under 40 points, is great. The girls did a terrific job."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Four goals in the second quarter broke open the game as Salve Regina University went on to record an 11-4 victory over host MIT in a non-conference men's lacrosse contest on Saturday. The Seahawks (2-2) turned in a trio of four-point performances. Brendan Rooney racked up four goals, followed by three goals and an assist from Chris Walker and two goals and two assists by Michael Augustus. Corey Garvey paced the Engineers' (1-1) attack with a goal and an assist.
Garvey found Dan Piemont for the first goal of the game at the 9:25 mark. Augustus won the ensuing faceoff and registered the equalizer eight seconds later. Salve Regina quickly captured the lead when Rooney converted a feed from Walker. The advantage was short-lived as MIT's Gabe Blanchett found the back of the net with 7:58 on the clock. Rooney posted his second goal of the period after connecting on a pass by Sam Barnum at 1:29 to put the Seahawks up, 3-2.
Augustus found Walker for his first tally of the contest after 1:11 elapsed in the second stanza. A solo effort from Garvey cut the Engineers' deficit in half, but Salve Regina rattled off three goals in a span of 2:26 to secure the lead. Maurie Fitzgerald set up Walker for what proved to be the game-winning goal while Rooney followed with a pair of unassisted markers. The visitors entered the intermission with a comfortable 7-3 cushion.
The third quarter was a defensive battle as both sides struggled to put the ball in the net. Michael Horn ended the scoring drought by redirecting a feed from Augustus with 3:41 remaining in the period. The Seahawks extended their run with just over a minute left when Blair Kelley scored on a pass from Brendan Carroll.
An unassisted goal by Carl Tilbury brought MIT within five (9-4) but it would not be able to generate a late rally to overcome the deficit. Walker and Augustus wrapped up the scoring with goals at 8:23 and 2:04, respectively.
Justin Myers won 13 of his 18 face-offs and picked up 12 groundballs for the Engineers. Christopher Rullan collected 13 saves and 11 groundballs while Garvey scooped up five groundballs. Nick Sisler bolstered the defense with four groundballs and three caused turnovers.
Christopher Connors compiled 12 saves and five groundballs as Walker tacked on five groundballs. William Milsop contributed four groundballs while Fitzgerald added a trio of groundballs and caused turnovers.
Both squads return to action on Tuesday, March 16. MIT will host Husson College while Salve Regina will make the trip to Babson College.

CBS pulls 'Mike & Molly' episode with tornado plot
The sitcom episode is about a tornado in Chicago.
CBS pulled Monday night's season finale of Mike & Molly, which contained a tornado plot, after a devastating tornado struck Oklahoma.
A mile-wide tornado caused widespread damage in Oklahoma City and its suburbs Monday afternoon.
"Due to the tragic events this afternoon in Oklahoma, we are pre-empting tonight's season finale of Mike & Molly, which has a related storyline," the network said Monday in a statement. "A repeat broadcast of Mike & Molly will run in the time period. The season finale will be broadcast at an appropriate date."
The pre-empted episode of the third-season romantic comedy, which is set in Chicago, is called "Windy City."
The episode description states: "Mike and Carl get stuck working at the Renaissance Faire after their boss, Patrick, gets dumped by Mike's mother. Later, as a tornado descends on Chicago, Mike and Molly each confess important news to each other."

Location and General Characteristics
Located in northwest Minneapolis, the Webber-Camden neighborhood gets its name from Webber Park and Webber Parkway, which were both named after Charles C. Webber, who donated a portion of the land for the park. Webber-Camden was also named after Camden, New Jersey. In March 1995 the City Planning Commission approved a change to the neighborhood's northern boundary from Webber Parkway to the railroad tracks, beginning at Highway 52, and then south on 45 th Avenue back to Webber Parkway. The changes did not affect any residential or commercial buildings and did not affect the data used in this report. Today Webber-Camden extends from Interstate 94 on the north. In 1995 the neighborhood added "Webber" to the original name "Camden," changing the name to "Webber-Camden." The neighborhood has industrial zones and a mix of middle-class and working-class homes. Webber Park connects to the Mississippi River, perhaps the area's most prominent feature, to the east.
The Camden Clinic was built in part with Neighborhood Revitalization Program funds. The large marquee letters come from the old Camden Theater, a neighborhood landmark/gateway that used to be near the site of the current clinic.

Only 200 feet of 1.75-inch hose, and 400 feet of 5-inch hose, failed this year compared to totals of 1,200 feet in 2013 and 2,475 feet in 2012, he reported.
"A bunch that failed—most of it was in the range that was 30 years old," Taylor said Tuesday. He said that equipment has "pretty much all" been replaced.
The department also passed all recent state-required testing for ladders, and for Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Flow Test, Taylor said. The SCBA test involves the regulator that controls the amount of air from the bottle on air packs, he explained.
Besides undergoing the testing, Gilmer firefighters received 23 calls in June--and 48 more calls in the first six months of 2014 than for the same period last year, Taylor reported.
The department also put in 86.71 volunteer man-hours last month, the chief said.
June was a slow month for calls, Taylor noted. As for the increase in calls for the year to date, "I don't really have any idea" why that has occurred, he said.
Of June's calls, more than a third—eight—were grass fires, he reported. Other numbers of calls by categories included fire alarms, 4; structure fires, 2; dumpster/trash fires, 2; calls canceled en route, 2; vehicle accidents, 1; electrical wiring, 1; medical assistance, 1; good intent, 1; service call, 1.

Boxing legend pummeled for biblical beliefs
TV show: Expressing these views will be offensive
Five-time boxing champion Evander Holyfield, known for his Christian faith, has been scolded by a narrator on a reality television show in the United Kingdom for expressing biblical views about homosexuality.
The narrator on the "Big Brother" show warned him: "Before you entered the Big Brother house, the rules regarding unacceptable language and behavior were explained to you. Last night in a conversation with Luisa, you expressed the view that being gay was not normal and that it could be fixed.
"Expressing these views will be offensive," Holyfield was told. "Big Brother does not tolerate the use of offensive language and must warn you to consider very carefully the effect expressing such views may have and the harm and offense you may cause by repeating these views inside the house."
Holyfield, whose online biography notes he won some $230 million in the boxing ring and has "tried to do some good with it, giving millions to the church and to various causes he supported," had been filmed in a conversation with another reality show participant, Luisa.
She raised the subject, asking if there are homosexual athletes. He said yes.
She then complained that "no one stands up and says that."
Holyfield's answer was direct.
"The Bible lets you know that's wrong, that's right," he said.
She argued that some people are just that way.
Author Brad O'Leary takes you deep inside the battle save the nation's Judeo-Christian identity, in "America's War on Christianity."
"If you're born and your leg was turned this way, what do you do? You go to the doctor and get it fixed right?" Holyfield asked.
When Luisa said it's "not about being fixed," Holyfield said: "You know how handicapped people. … You can't say because they were born that way you can't move that."
Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality defended Holyfield.
"Portions of the conversation are hard to make out, but essentially Holyfield compares homosexuality to a handicap and then commits the unpardonable sin – in the eyes of pro-homosexual ideologues – of saying it is a choice."
LaBarbera said the "faceless 'Big Brother' scolding at the end is priceless as the accusing British 'Big Brother' producer plays the role of America's GLAAD – dictating that Holyfield's speech against homosexuality is unacceptable and will not be allowed."
"The episode hits close to home for what is happening in the Western world, such as Canada's 'hate speech' law, and we at AFTAH have no doubts that more than a few 'gay' activists similarly would love to ban speech they deem 'offensive.'"
The story developed only weeks after the Arts & Entertainment Network in the U.S. suspended "Duck Dynasty" superstar Phil Robertson on a complaint by GLAAD regarding his condemnation of homosexual behavior.
The backlash from the show's supporters and sponsors convinced A&E to back down. The network plans to resume work on the programming with Phil Robertson and the rest of the "Dynasty" cast.
A&E explained that as "a global media content company, A&E Networks' core values are centered around creativity, inclusion and mutual respect."
"We believe it is a privilege for our brands to be invited into people's home and we operate with a strong sense of integrity and deep commitment to these principals. That is why we reacted so quickly and strongly to a recent interview with Phil Robertson."
Sign a petition here that demands an apology from A&E and WND will deliver it to A&E!
See why Duck Commander Phil Robertson is "Happy, Happy, Happy." And get up close and personal with The Duck Commander Family
Robertson's comments came in an interview with GQ magazine in which he championed biblical values and the battle against breaking God's commandments.
"Everything is blurred on what's right and what's wrong. … Sin becomes fine. Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men," he said.
Paraphrasing a passage from the book of I Corinthians, he said: "Don't be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers – they won't inherit the kingdom of God. Don't deceive yourself. It's not right.
"We're Bible-thumpers who just happened to end up on television," he said of his family's instant rise to fame. "You put in your article that the Robertson family really believes strongly that if the human race loved each other and they loved God, we would just be better off. We ought to just be repentant, turn to God, and let's get on with it, and everything will turn around."
