Cold weather wildlife in homes boosts disease, property damage risks
Cold weather wildlife in homes boosts disease, property damage risks
(NewsUSA) - Many people may practice the "love thy neighbor" creed, but when it comes to four-legged wildlife such as raccoons, squirrels, and opossum that often seek refuge in yards and homes when outdoor temperatures dip and food sources become scarce, they are best kept at an arm's length. As community development has thinned natural habitats and forced these critters into residential areas and lessened their fears of people, the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) has found that many areas of the country continue to report increased encounters with nuisance wildlife.
"While it can be a unique experience to spot wildlife in neighborhoods, these animals should be discouraged from taking up residence," advises Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for the NPMA. "Not only can they damage property, many are vectors of disease, most notably rabies."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 40,000 people are exposed to rabies each year, a viral infection passed through the bite and saliva of an infected mammal. Raccoons, foxes, skunks, coyotes and bats are the most commonly reported animals infected with rabies. Because of the risks associated with these pests, homeowners should take extra precautions to protect against them.
NPMA offers these preventative tips:
• Eliminate points of entry. Seal entry points around the house. Replace loose mortar and weather stripping. Install a mesh cover or cap over chimneys and other exposed openings.
• Be mindful of food and garbage storage. Keep food in airtight containers, and dispose of garbage regularly. If trash cans are kept outdoors, use animal-proof lids. Bring pet food dishes inside at night to avoid attracting wildlife.
• Reduce harborage. Keep tree limbs 6 to 8 feet from the roofline, and store firewood at least 20 feet away from the house.
• Spot signs of wildlife intruders. Inspect wires, insulation and walls for signs of gnaw marks. Listen for scampering and gnawing at night as many critters are nocturnal.
• Protect the whole family. Ensure pets are properly vaccinated against rabies. While wild animals are more often infected with rabies, dogs and cats more commonly transmit the disease to humans. Teach children to stay away from wild animals.
Despite taking proper precautions, if you find that you have a problem with wildlife in your home, contact a licensed pest professional who can aid in removal. Many jurisdictions have laws and ordinances on wildlife control.

Unequal Juries
Posted by The Situationist Staff on June 24, 2011
Wendy Parker posted her article, "Juries, Race, and Gender: A Story of Today's Inequality" (Wake Forest Law Review, Vol. 46, pp. 209-240, 2011), on SSRN. Here's the abstracst.
The Civil Rights Act of 1991 was supposed to be a victory for employment discrimination plaintiffs – a dramatic expansion of their rights. Twenty years later, however, we are told that the news for employment discrimination plaintiffs has gone "from bad to worse." This essay, a reflection on the twenty-year history of the 1991 Act, explores how just how bad it is. In doing so, this essay discovers some optimistic news (but not much): Plaintiffs today are more likely to win at trial than before the 1991 Act. This is likely because of the 1991 Act's expanded right to a jury trial. Yet, this is not a story of optimism – or equality – for all plaintiffs. The essay's original study of 102 jury trials reveals that some plaintiffs do much worse than other plaintiffs. African Americans and Latinos claiming race discrimination, for example, have the lowest jury win rates. Many who study jury behavior would have predicted this outcome. From this, the essay argues that the evidence is strong that the status quo is not race neutral, and neither are juries.

It has been really busy here at Fibertarian Party headquarters because Dolores got sort of distracted for a while right after the convention. I mean it was not her fault everything was going great and we were trying to figure out who should be the vice president candidate, and that is tricky because honestly nobody wanted to do it. (I mean I would have done but since I came from Germany they said I can't be president so I can't be vice president and I think that stinks. I mean it is not like I have an accent you know.)
So our convention was over already and we were still trying to figure out who would be a good choice as veep (I love to say that veep veep veep veep veep) and then the Republicans had their convention and well Dolores just got so mad. Because you know there was all this cheering and stuff and this lady came out and she was the person they want to be vice president. They dropped balloons all over her they were so excited.
And you have never seen Dolores get so mad!!!! She said if this country wants to elect a loudmouth hypocritical fading beauty queen with a violent streak and funny glasses and a largely fictitious biography well goddammit (sorry I am quoting) I was here first and I am going to sue for copyright violation.
Then she said she was going to the Lucky Horseshoe to plan out her case and we didn't see her again for a long time.
And while she was gone we went ahead and picked Mrs Teitelbaum as the veep (veep veep veep veep) candidate because she was born in Mattoon Illinois so she's American and Lana the campaign manager said apparently in this day in age any moron who can walk across a stage and read off a teleprompter is qualified for high office and I said you know sometimes Mrs Teitelbaum isn't so good at reading or walking and Lana said to shut up.
So now Dolores is back home and she is looking to go on the road and do some campaigning! But see after the convention expenses we only have about $5 in the kitty (meow! hee hee) so she is going to have to travel by mail.
Okay it is not really Dolores. She would cost a lot of money to mail she is pretty heavy. It is a cut-out picture of Dolores, but she says if people would mail her around and take pictures of her in different places and then we could post them online and it would look like she is traveling and nobody would know the difference as long as you don't tell the media shhhhhhhh.
So she wants to do this all through October and we need to organize quick
If you do it you will get a big campaign button that Franklin is making that is only for the people who host the campaign tour, nobody else will ever get one, and he says that the button and seven dollars will get you a hamburger pretty much anywhere in America.
So I guess that is all for now okay thank you for reading and I hope you will stay tuned and watch as we march to victory in the White House except don't tell Dolores but right now I am kind of leaning toward Obama.
*** Okay everybody I just had to pull Franklin out from under his desk because I guess there's like 240 offers already and so if you could just hold off now while we sort it all out that would be neato okay thanks! And boy you are sure an enthusiastic bunch Dolores is going to be so excited!

Update: Mortar explosion in Nev. kills 7 NC unit Marines
HAWTHORNE, Nev. (AP) -- Seven Marines from a North Carolina unit were killed when a 60mm mortar exploded unexpectedly at a Nevada military depot that's an important training facility for special forces headed overseas, a Marine Corps official said.
HAWTHORNE, Nev. (AP) -- Seven Marines from a North Carolina unit were killed when a 60mm mortar exploded unexpectedly at a Nevada military depot that's an important training facility for special forces headed overseas, a Marine Corps official said.
By SCOTT SONNER and PAULINE JELINEK
Associated Press
HAWTHORNE, Nev. (AP) -- Seven Marines from a North Carolina unit were killed when a 60mm mortar exploded unexpectedly at a Nevada military depot that's an important training facility for special forces headed overseas, a Marine Corps official said.
The Marines immediately issued an indefinite moratorium on firing of all such mortars worldwide until an investigation clears as safe the type of weapon and ammunition in the tragedy. Several other Marines were hurt in the accident that happened shortly before 10 p.m. PDT Monday at the Hawthorne Army Depot.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said it was not immediately clear whether the mortar exploded prematurely inside its firing tube or whether more than a single round exploded. The official was not authorized to speak to a reporter about the accident.
The cause of the accident is under investigation, officials said in a statement from the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp LeJeune, N.C.
The 60mm mortar is a weapon that traditionally requires three to four Marines to operate, but it's common during training for others to observe nearby.
The injured were taken to area hospitals for treatment and further evaluation.
Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno, the area's major trauma hospital, took nine patients, including one who died, three who are in serious condition and five who are in fair condition, according to spokeswoman Stacy Kendall. All the patients are men under the age of 30, she said. Kendall described their injuries as penetrating trauma, fractures and vascular injuries.
The identities of those killed won't be released until 24 hours after their families are notified.
"We send our prayers and condolences to the families of Marines involved in this tragic incident. We remain focused on ensuring that they are supported through this difficult time," said the force's commander, Maj. Gen. Raymond C. Fox. "We mourn their loss, and it is with heavy hearts we remember their courage and sacrifice."
The Hawthorne Army Depot stores and disposes of ammunition. The facility is made up of hundreds of buildings spread over more than 230 square miles.
Hawthorne has held an important place in American military history since World War II when it became the staging area for ammunition, bombs and rockets for the war. The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection says that the depot employed more than 5,500 people at its peak. Nevada was chosen for the location because of its remoteness in the wake of a devastating explosion at the government's main depot in New Jersey in the 1920s.
It opened in September 1930 as the Naval Ammunition Depot Hawthorne and was redesignated Hawthorne Army Ammunition Plant in 1977 when it moved under the control of the Army, according to its website. In 1994, the site ended its production mission and became Hawthorne Army Depot. The site currently serves several purposes for the military, including storing ammunition and explosives and providing what the military calls an ideal training facility for special forces preparing for deployments to similar desert terrain in places like Afghanistan.
Nevada's political leaders expressed their sympathy.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., gave his condolences to victims of the explosion during a Tuesday morning speech on the Senate floor. "My thoughts are with those who were injured. My heart goes out to the families of those who lost their lives. And my sympathies are with their fellow Marines, who are also grieving this loss."
Nevada Republican Sen. Dean Heller tweeted, "Thoughts and prayers are with the families who lost a loved one in the Hawthorne Army Depot explosion. Grateful for their service."
"I am deeply saddened to hear of the incident at the Hawthorne Army Depot this morning," Republican Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval said in a statement. "The men and women who work and train there put service ahead of self each and every day. Kathleen and I wish to extend our deepest sympathies to those killed and their families. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been injured and we pray for their speedy recovery."
"I was so saddened to learn about the seven Marines from Camp Lejeune who were killed last night in Nevada," U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., said in a statement. "My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the Marines who were killed and those who were injured, and I will continue to monitor the investigation so we can find out what happened and take appropriate steps."
Jelinek reported from Washington. Associated Press writers Ted Bridis in Washington and Michelle Rindels and Ken Ritter in Las Vegas contributed to this report.

U.S. stocks close lower, ending Dow's 10-day rally
Dow notched longest winning streak since November 1996
U.S. stock markets fell Friday, ending the longest winning streak for the Dow Jones industrial average in nearly 17 years.
The Dow dropped 25.03 points, or 0.2 percent, to 14,514.11 The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 2.5 points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,560.70, just shy of an all-time high from October 2007. The Nasdaq composite index dropped nine points, or 0.3 percent, to 3,249.
The Dow had notched a 10-day winning streak through Thursday, its longest since November 1996. The string of wins pushed the blue-chip index up 484 points, or 3.4 percent, to a Thursday close of 14,539.14. The index's closing price on Feb. 28, just before the rally began, was 14,054.49.
Trading Friday was tentative because investors feared that rising inflation could cause the Federal Reserve to retreat from policies aimed at boosting markets. The government said that consumer prices increased in February at the fastest pace in more than three years.
The increase was driven by a spike in gas prices; the core index, which excludes the volatile energy and food categories, increased more modestly. But both figures rose 2 percent compared with a year earlier, enough to get investors' attention, said Peter Tchir, who runs the hedge fund TF Market Advisors.
"It's real and it's a drag, and I think people are growing concerned that it can get out of control quickly," Tchir said. He said signs of economic improvement and inflation "make them wonder if there will be continued market pressure on the Fed" to end its bond-buying programs.
The market's recent rally to multiyear highs was fueled in part by the Fed's efforts to keep interest rates low and encourage investment.
The Dow's win streak matched a 10-day run that ended on Nov. 15, 1996. To find a longer uninterrupted series of gains, you would have to go back to Jan. 3, 1992, when the Dow rose for 11 consecutive days.
The index's longest winning streak was 14 days, ending June 14, 1897.
Stocks opened lower and extended their losses at 10 a.m. after a closely-watched index of consumer sentiment fell to its lowest level since the end of 2011. The University of Michigan's preliminary consumer sentiment index dropped 5.8 points to 71.8, according JPMorgan analyst Daniel Silver said in a note to clients.
Stocks reversed the losses briefly at midday, then drifted back down in the afternoon.
Traders are processing big banks' scores on "stress tests" administered by the Fed. The Fed said late Thursday that JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs both need better plans to cope with a severe recession. It gave them until September to revise their plans.
Still, the Fed allowed both banks to increase their dividends and buy back their stock, signaling that regulators believe the banks are fundamentally sound.
The stock of JPMorgan fell 98 cents, or 1.9 percent, to $50.02. Goldman's stock rose 82 cents, or 0.5 percent, to $154.84.
The S&P 500 closed just five points from its all-time closing high of 1,565, reached in October 2007.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 1.99 percent from 2.06 percent early Thursday, as demand increased for ultra-safe investments.
Among the other companies making big moves:
• Cruise ship operator Carnival Corp. fell 78 cents, or 2.2 percent, to $34.95. The company said passengers have been booking vacations at a slower pace after a series of high-profile mishaps.
• Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc. plunged after saying its fiscal fourth-quarter net income dropped sharply and fell short of expectations. The stock fell 41 cents, or 2.7 percent, to $14.54.
• Teen apparel chain Aeropostale Inc. fell 76 cents, or 5.2 percent, to $13.75, after posting a loss in its fiscal fourth quarter and saying it expects another one in the current quarter.
DOW DOWN? The Dow Jones industrial average fell 25.03 points Friday, ending a 10-day stretch of increases that was its longest in nearly 17 years. To find a longer winning streak, you have to go back even further — to Jan. 3, 1992, when the Dow ended 11 straight days of gains. HOW NOW, DOW? In the 10 days ended Thursday, the Dow gained 484.65 points, or 3.4 percent. The index is still up 3.3 percent this month and 10.8 percent for the year. NEXT SHOW: The Standard & Poor's 500 index has risen to multiyear highs, but remains five points shy of its all-time closing high of 1,565, reached in October 2007.

16 sick in 5 states; linked to ground beef recall
NEW YORK (AP) ? Federal health officials say at least 16 people in five states have been sickened by salmonella food poisoning linked to ground beef.
No one has died, but half were hospitalized. Most of the illnesses have been in Michigan, but a few cases were scattered in Arizona, Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin.
Seven people ate a raw ground beef dish called kibbeh (kib-BEH') last month at a suburban Detroit restaurant that wasn't identified. Health officials say consumers should not eat uncooked meat.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the cases have been linked to last week's recall of more than 1,000 pounds of ground beef from two Michigan businesses, Troy-based Gab Halal Foods and Sterling Heights-based Jouni Meats.

Police and Fire: March 25, 2013
Domestic assault
Sault Police were called to a trailer park in the 1800 block of W. 18th where a woman had been threatened by a man during an early-morning altercation on Sunday.
Reports indicate the man had thrown a vacuum cleaner outside before approaching the woman with a lit cigarette and threatening to burn her face.
Paul Fournier, 44, of the Sault was subsequently arrested for domestic assault and lodged in the Chippewa County Jail.
Pair arrested
Chippewa County Sheriff Deputies conducted a traffic on E. Portage early Saturday morning after noting a vehicle with faulty equipment.
A subsequent investigation resulted in the arrest of the driver, Timothy M. MacInnis, 17, of the Sault for operating while intoxicated — zero tolerance and minor in possession of alcohol. A passenger, Kyle D. Teneyck, 18, of the Sault was also taken into custody for allowing an intoxicated person to drive and minor in possession of alcohol.
Both teens were booked into the Chippewa County Jail.
Flee and elude
Sault Police were on routine patrol shortly before 3 a.m. Sunday when they observed a collection of vehicles outside an I-75 Business Spur retail store despite the fact that the establishment had been closed for many hours and likewise would not re-open for many more.
Police pulled into the parking lot and watched as numerous vehicles began to scatter in all directions with one striking a second before continuing on. Police gave chase on Meridian and the I-75 Business Spur before the suspect vehicle missed the intersection of W. 19th Avenue and became mired in a snowbank.
The driver, Shane E. Koch, 21, of the Sault was arrested for no license- never applied, operating while intoxicated, failure to stop and identify and flee and elude.
Koch was booked in the Chippewa County Jail while his vehicle was towed from the scene.
Authorities were also presumably following up on the hit and run portion of the investigation determining the owner of the damaged vehicle at the original crash site.
Drunk driving
Chippewa County Sheriff Deputies clocked a vehicle traveling at 60 miles per hour in a zone marked for 30 early Sunday morning resulting in a traffic stop near the intersection of Marquette and Ashmun.
The driver, Kenneth J. Yonkers, 32, of the Sault was arrested after failing a battery of sobriety tests for operating while intoxicated. Yonkers was also ticketed for speeding before being booked into the Chippewa County Jail.
Warrant arrest
Chippewa County Sheriff Deputies also report coming into contact with a wanted individual at a gas station near the intersection of Three Mile and Mackinac Trail. Shannon M. Mendoskin, 34, of the Sault was arrested on the force of two outstanding warrants and subsequently booked into the Chippewa County Jail.
Citations issued
Chippewa County Sheriff Deputies were on routine patrol Friday evening when they observed a vehicle traveling on the I-75 Business Spur with expired plates. The driver, Frank M. Wheeler IV, 20, of Newberry was cited for expired plates and no insurance.
Wheeler was released from custody with a future court date.
Minor mishaps
City police report investigating a pair of minor traffic accidents.
The first took place shortly before 8 a.m. Friday when a vehicle attempted to exit a private driveway and struck a second that was northbound on Bingham. Damage was categorized as moderate and the involved parties escaped without injury. There were no citations issued.
The second accident also occurred on Friday shortly after 6 p.m. when three vehicle sustained minor damage near the juncture of Ashmun Street and the I-75 Business Spur. There were no injuries associated with the mishap and police closed the books on this matter without issuing any citations.
Man hospitalized
Sault Police were summoned to the 300 block of Water Drive shortly after 2 a.m. Saturday after a pizza delivery man arrived at his intended destination to find a man with his pants down pounding on windows.
Officers arrived on the scene and confirmed the validity of the initial reports finding the man in the described condition.
Due to the man's high level of intoxication and his subsequent request for an ambulance, police granted his request and the individual was conveyed to War Memorial Hospital.
No additional law enforcement action was required.

Potential guiding questions:
- What aspects of library school curriculum prepare you for the job?
- What emerging technologies helped you hack your education?
- From a student's perspective, what advice would you give to a veteran? or a potential boss?
- What would you tell yourself going into library school, knowing what you know now?

Chemically Treated Hair
For many people, chemical treatments are a regular part of their beauty routine. A trip to the salon often means more than a cut and blowout; it can mean hours spent changing the hair's color, texture, or overall look. While chemical treatments give you an opportunity to experiment with different looks, they can also damage the hair. Understanding some of the hair issues associated with chemical treatments—and how to treat them—is essential to maintain healthy, shiny locks.
Types of Chemical Treatments
The most popular form of chemical treatment is hair coloring. Whether you're erasing stray gray hairs or turning that mousy brown into a vibrant red, hair color is a quick way to revamp your look. Hair color comes in three forms—temporary dyes, semi-permanent dyes, and permanent dyes. Temporary dyes merely cover the hair without penetrating the hair shaft. Semi-permanent dyes penetrate the hair shaft, making it last longer. Permanent dyes result in more significant chemical changes to the hair shaft, allowing the dye to remain until new hair grows. In general, darker dyes have more chemicals. Hair color can be applied as all-over color or as highlights or lowlights, which result in a more subtle change.
Finally, hair bleaching relies on chemicals to be effective. Dramatic changes in hair color often require bleaching to strip the hair of the natural or artificial color and allow the hair to absorb the new color. Hair bleaching typically uses chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide or ammonium hydroxide.Stylists also use chemical treatments to change your hair's texture. Chemical hair relaxers, which usually consist of sodium hydroxide or ammonium thioglycolate, turn curly hair straight. Conversely, perms can add wave and curls to straight hair, also relying on chemicals to change your look. Coarse, frizzy hair can be transformed to straight hair with hair-straightening treatments, some of which include chemicals. While many of these treatments claim to use keratin, a protein, to straighten hair, formaldehyde has been found in some of these straighteners.
Issues Caused by Chemical Treatments
Chemical hair treatments are highly effective due to the potency of the chemicals used to create the change. However, these strong chemicals can also cause some hair issues beyond the color change or texture change. First, chemical treatments can cause hair to feel and look dry and brittle. The chemicals can dissolve the protective layer on hair strands, resulting in damage to the hair cuticle. Damaged, stripped cuticles are less able to retain moisture, which can result in dry hair.
In extreme cases, a chemical treatment can result in redness, irritation, burning, or even hair loss. Typically, these issues occur when you already have scalp irritation or the chemical treatment is applied incorrectly—for example, if a stylist improperly mixes the chemical solution, it could cause a reaction. However, these side effects are less common than the dry, coarse hair caused by chemical treatments.This damage caused by chemical treatments can also cause your hair to lose some of its smoothness and shine. If you notice coarser, frizzier hair, regular chemical treatments are often to blame. Dull, lackluster hair is also a problem caused by chemical treatments. Your weakened hair strands also might break more easily after a chemical treatment.
The obvious way to eliminate issues caused by chemical treatments is to stop having the treatments done. However, you might not be willing to say goodbye to your blonde locks or your chemically straightened hair simply to enjoy healthier hair. If you plan to continue with chemical treatments, there are several ways to minimize damage in the salon or at home.
Prevent and treat issues related to chemical treatments with the help of a professional. Many salons offer hot-oil treatments, which are deep-conditioning treatments that help restore shine to your hair. Salons also offer other deep-conditioning treatments, which include a range of ingredients such as botanicals, antioxidants, and ceramides, to add nourishment to your hair to repair any damage.
Finally, you can turn to home remedies to boost your hair health after a chemical treatment. Drink plenty of water every day; a better hydrated body means better hydrated hair. Add omega-3 fatty acids, which you can find in such foods as salmon and flaxseed, to your diet. These healthy foods can combat dry and brittle hair, helping to restore shine. Finally, if you don't want to spend money on a pricey hot-oil treatment in a salon, make your own solution at home. Simply mix together equal parts olive oil and canola oil, and heat the mixture in the microwave. Comb the solution through your hair, and rinse with a gentle shampoo for healthier, shinier hair.Salon treatments can be expensive, so if you're on a budget, turn to over-the-counter remedies for damaged hair. Incorporate a deep conditioner into your weekly hair-care routine—using a deep conditioner a couple of times a week can restore moisture and shine to your hair. If you use heat-styling products on your hair, which can exacerbate hair damage, spray your hair with a heat protectant to reduce the risk of further damaging your hair by blow drying, curling, or straightening. You can also find over-the-counter moisturizers, which hydrate your hair, leaving it sleek and shiny. Opt for a hair care regimen that is specially labeled for use on chemically treated hair. These types of programs generally avoid harsh chemicals which can damage your hair even more while preserving the effect of chemical treatments.
Chemical treatments are a way of life for many people. While they might leave your hair the color or texture you want, they can also damage your hair. However, you can fight this damage with a variety of professional solutions and home remedies to restore shine and health to your chemically treated hair.

Rugby is hard on the feet and ankles! Injuries can occur from running and cutting, direct trauma during tackling, and during the scrum. Rugby players should be aware of the following risks:
- Inversion ankle sprains can damage the ankle ligaments, and can also be associated with peroneal tendon injuries and fractures.
- Ankle fractures, metatarsal fractures, and Lisfranc fractures can sideline athletes and sometimes require surgery.
- Contusions and bone bruises may result from high impact during tackling.
- Overuse and excessive training can lead to heel pain (plantar fasciitis), Achilles tendonitis, sesamoiditis, stress fractures, posterior tibial tendonitis (or PTTD), and calcaneal apophysitis in children and adolescents.

Easy does it on Mother's Day
My good friend Sue, a mother of two, has a young son who shares my first name and told her one day,"You're a mom, moms never get a day off." Wise beyond his years, no? So why not honor mom's 365-day, 24-hour-a-day schedule with a special breakfast? This menu of homemade breakfast sandwiches, fresh fruit salad topped with yogurt and slivered almonds, Mom's Mimosa (with or without Champagne) and tea or coffee served on a tray in bed with fresh flowers and a linen napkin, will be sure to put a smile on Mom's face.
Breakfast Sandwiches
For the biscuits:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 Tbs baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
Vegetable oil for greasing
For assembly:
4 large eggs
8 slices applewood smoked bacon
8 slices of sharp Cheddar cheese
Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees Farenheit. Brush a baking sheet with vegetable oil and set aside. Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl and add the cream. With a wooden spoon combine everything. Once combined, turn out onto a floured surface and give a couple of kneads. Form into a disk and divide into four equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smaller disk and place on baking sheet. Bake for 22 minutes and cool on a wire rack.
Cook the eggs the way Mom prefers them. If you do scrambled, I would suggest doing them omelet style and divide them this way. If you preferred fried, space them far enough in a large pan so you don't have to separate them while cooking.
Assemble sandwiches with egg, two slices of cooked bacon and two slice cheese. You can wrap these in foil keep them warm in a low oven (275 degrees) for approximately 30 minutes.
Fruit Salad
Perk up this breakfast staple with a combination of fresh fruits. The addition of yogurt and pecans adds a bit more substance and texture. I have suggested a combination that looks and tastes well together but feel free to add, subtract and substitute Mom's personal preferences. The amount needed will depend on how much you want to make but this more than enough for two if Mom wants to share.
1/2 pint fresh strawberries, hulled
1 fresh cantaloupe, halved and seeded
1/2 fresh whole pineapple
1 cup seedless green grapes
1/2 pint fresh blueberries
1/4 watermelon
1 fresh grapefruit - for the juice only
Vanilla yogurt
Slivered almonds
Dice the cantaloupe, pineapple and watermelon into bite sized pieces and place into a large mixing bowl. Depending on their size, you can half the strawberries or chop them smaller. Half the green grapes and add the blueberries whole. Take halve a grapefruit and squeeze over the fruit and then toss well (save the other half for Mom's mimosa). This can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. Serve with a dollop of vanilla yogurt and some slivered almonds. If Mom has a bit of a sweet tooth, a drizzle of honey over the yogurt is a nice touch.
Mom's Mimosa
This takes a little elbow grease but it's worth it for Mom! You can serve this with or without champagne.
2 large navel oranges
Half a grapefruit
1 lime
Champagne or carbonated water
Cut all the fruit in half and with a hand juicer squeeze out the juice. Strain the juice over ice and top with either champagne or carbonated water and give it a stir.

Reading sweeps Redskins in doubleheaders
By Ed Patino
READING — Two different games produced the same positive results for the Reading High School baseball team.
Getting contributions throughout their lineup, the Rangers swept Wednesday's non-conference doubleheader from the Camden-Frontier Redskins. The opener saw the Rangers offense come to life for an 11-0 victory, then Reading rode strong pitching and defense to a 3-1 victory in the nightcap.
After following up a big win with a tough loss in Monday's doubleheader with Homer, the Rangers didn't have a second game letdown this time.
"We've had a solid week with three wins in four games," Reading coach Rick Bailey said. "After what happened Monday in the second game, I really appreciated the kids effort and intensity today."
Justin Panarisi and Casey Donihue led the attack for Reading (7-4) in the opener. Panarisi went 3-for-3 with a double, while Donihue was 2-for-3 at the plate with two RBIs. Matt Poublon, Alex Simmons, Ryan Galloway, Trent Shafer and Austin Fowler each added a hit.
Devin Higley earned the pitching win, allowing one hit and striking out four in four innings. Panarisi threw in the fifth inning.
"We're young and gaining valuable experience," Camden-Frontier coach Jason Holubik said. "We have to do a better job mentally at the plate."
Poublon turned in a strong effort on the mound for Reading in the second game, allowing a run on three hits while striking out seven in five innings for the win. Donihue hit a double and Shafer added a hit to lead the Rangers' offense.
Gary Johnson finished 1-for-2 with a run scored to lead Camden-Frontier (3-4) in the nightcap, while Alex Kramer also went 1-for-2. Johnson took the pitching loss, allowing three runs on just two hits in four innings.
The Redskins will travel to Tekonsha for a doubleheader Friday, while Reading will conclude a suspended game against Athens that same night. The game was tied 8-8 at the time of the suspension.
Prep Softball
Camden-Frontier at Reading (DH)
The Reading High School softball team swept Wednesday's non-conference doubleheader with the Camden-Frontier Redskins, pulling out a 7-6 win in the opener and posting a 5-1 victory in the second game.
Karissa Shay had a big performance for Reading (6-8) in the first game with a game-high four hits. Sarah Owens and Katie Haines each added two hits. Haines recorded the pitching win, striking out five in two innings.
Marissa Curry went 3-for-4 at the plate to lead Camden-Frontier (2-4) , while Jess Sliter was 2-for-3. Curry took the loss in the circle, striking out one and walking two.
"We were competitive in the first game, but just had a few errors that hurt us," Camden-Frontier coach Malena Lawson said. "We couldn't get the bats going in the second game."
Haines earned another win in the circle for Reading in the nightcap, finishing with eight strikeouts and three walks.
"Katie pitched very well today and I was pleased with that," Reading coach Kellie Mulnix said. "We just need to get our bats going."
Owens had two hits including a double to lead the Rangers, while Brianna Butts added a hit.
Curry went 2-for-2 with a RBI to lead the Redskins, while Ellie Speith was 2-for-4. Kelsea McNeil took the pitching loss despite striking out seven.
Camden-Frontier will visit Tekonsha on Friday, while the Rangers will host Pittsford on Monday.
North Adams-Jerome at Bellevue (DH)
After a tough 8-7 loss in nine innings in the first game, the North Adams-Jerome High School softball team regrouped with a 13-3 victory in the nightcap of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Bellevue Broncos.
Cheyenne Monahan went 3-for-4 with two RBIs to lead the Rams in the second game. Desiree Morrison and Kayla Blevins both were 2-for-3 with two RBIs, while Hannah Webb finished 1-for-4 with a RBI. Katie Dospoy recorded the pitching win.
Cheyanne Jermeay was 3-for-5 at the plate with three RBIs to lead North Adams (7-5, 5-3 SCAA) in the opener. Monahan went 2-for-5 with two RBIs, while Morrison finished 2-for-5.
The Rams will host Napoleon for a non-conference doubleheader Friday.

NYC marks 20th anniversary of '93 World Trade Center bombing
NEW YORK – The two terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, eight years apart, converged Tuesday in the form of a piece of granite -- part of a memorial to those who died in 1993 that was itself destroyed on Sept. 11, 2001.
The jagged fragment was displayed during a ceremony marking the 20th anniversary of the 1993 attack.
A bell tolled for a moment of silence at 12:18 p.m., the exact time of the explosion under one of the twin towers that killed six people. More than 1,000 people were injured when terrorists detonated a truck bomb in an underground garage.
Family, friends and city officials stood near the memorial to those who perished in the 2001 attack, which toppled the same tower targeted in the 1993 explosion.
"There are some days when you can't remember what he sounded like, but then there are other days when you expect to see him in the morning, when you wake up," Stephen Knapp said after the ceremony, his voice breaking as he remembered his father, also named Stephen Knapp. He was 18 when his father died.
On Tuesday, Knapp joined about 50 people -- including Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former Mayor David Dinkins -- for the anniversary ceremony.
Knapp and Michael Macko, who also lost his father, read the victims' names before New York Police Department bagpipers played "Amazing Grace."
White roses were laid over the six names chiseled into granite over one of the 9/11 memorial's two reflecting pools, alongside the names of more than 2,700 people killed in 2001 when terrorist-hijacked planes brought down the twin towers.
A wooden box was opened to reveal the piece of broken granite that was once part of the memorial fountain honoring the dead from 1993 on a plaza above the explosion site.
Only the name "John" -- John DiGiovanni, who died in 1993 -- survived on the fragment recovered after the Sept. 11 attack.
New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said recently that the earlier attack was the first dramatic demonstration that "terrorism is theater and New York is the biggest stage."
Six Islamic extremists, including mastermind Ramzi Yousef, were convicted of carrying out the 1993 bombing.
At first, officials assumed it was an accident, a possible transformer explosion.
Kelly raced to the scene, where the bomb planted in a parked Ryder van had left a crater half the size of a football field in the trade center garage, causing more than a half-billion dollars in damage.
"I remember seeing this tremendous sea of first-responder vehicles ... and smoke was coming out," said Kelly, who was in his first stint as police commissioner.
It was only the next day that authorities concluded the blast was a bomb.
Investigators then found a vehicle identification number on a piece of the blown-up van that they traced to Mohammed Salameh, who had rented the vehicle.
Knapp brought along his two daughters, ages 4 and 6, saying it was an opportunity to do more than mark a horror of the past.
"I want to show them the good that can come from it, and how people stand together and they rebuild," he said.
Towering above the 9/11 memorial is 1 World Trade Center, the skyscraper replacing the twin towers that will be the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere when completed next year.

James Petras has another good article (or here or here) on the pernicious influence of the Israel Lobby (see also here and here). The Israel Lobby – now known generally as 'the Lobby' due to its unique and overwhelming power in American politics – forces the United States towards war, eliminates the possibility of real political debate on large areas of policy, and requires American politicians to take foreign policy positions that are obviously against the best interests of the United States. The Lobby is directly responsible for:
- immoral and illegal wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Somalia (new!), and Palestine (with American taxpayers footing the bill, a bill they can't afford, for most of these);
- the threat of violence and wars against all the peoples of the Middle East (with the distinct possibility of a world-wide economic apocalypse, a possibility that doesn't bother the Lobby in the least);
- the destruction of the mechanics of the American political system, where all candidates of both parties are selected solely on the basis of their adherence to Lobby policies (this was make clear in the last set of elections, where Rahm Emanuel hand-selected candidates who would be pro-war, although the American people clearly wanted to be able to select anti-war candidates);
- the destructive 'war on terror' and 'Islamofascist' memes, which have cause immense suffering throughout the world, and have completely subverted traditional protections afforded by the American legal system;
- attacks on free speech, especially on free speech on the internet, all on the basis that such speech might be used to take positions contrary to those espoused by the Lobby and the Israeli extreme right (such positions are called 'anti-Semitic');
- attacks on freedom of assembly (egregious example from the Lobby branch in Canada);
- the promotion of the use of torture and targeted assassination (no matter what you think of other lobbies, including the infamous tobacco lobby, none of them advocates torture, violence, hatred and war as a direct part of lobbying efforts);
- the weakening and perversion of international law (especially the removal of protections for civilians and national sovereignty), and the undermining of international organizations, such as the United Nations, that dare take any positions contrary to those of Israeli colonialism.
It is common for Lobby apologists to claim that we are 'picking on' Israel, singling out this tiny country all because we are really anti-Semites. How can anyone make this argument in the face of the immense damage caused by the lobbying group working for the interests of the Israeli right? The Lobby is uniquely dangerous, and must be stopped.

what a delicious blog! here is so many uncanny inspirations!
have a nice time,
Hi Elissa,
I have followed your blog for awhile and I think it is fantastic. I go to school in Oregon, but am currently studying abroad in Sevilla, Spain. Your posts always make me feel like I have a little slice of home sitting in front of me and you manage to articulate what I miss most about the Pacific North West. This recipe looks incredibly delicious. I will have to remember it for next Thanksgiving!
Happy Baking,
Enjoy New York Elissa! If you have a chance you must must must visit The Strand on Broadway and East 12th street. It's 18 miles of books and my favorite place in the entire city. Aside from seeing friends and family, it's the reason why I'm most excited to be home.
I hope that you have a very happy Thanksgiving and that you get a chance to bake again. These whoopie pies look marvelous. I hope that your floor enjoys them!
It's so wonderful you're falling so in love with Boston. Have so so so much fun over break, I kind of can't wait to see what magical things you whip up in the kitchen.
Beautiful, nostalgic post. Thanks. This will be the first time that I will celebrate Thanksgiving, though admittedly, I will be celebrating it on Saturday, my family is Irish and here in Ireland, the holiday of Thanksgiving is non-existent, people don't even know at what time of year it falls, let alone a specific day, so I think I'll get away with it! My family will all be away in far-flung parts of the world – Paris, Ukraine, Sydney and Kyrgzstan so I will be cooking for fifteen close friends. Hopefully I can make it a tradition.
Olá, ontem zanzando por aí encontrei seu blog, amei de paixão.
É muito bom ver pessoas de lugares tão distantes falando de suas experiências.
Um abraço
Elissa, I have been following your blog for some time and felt it was time to show my appreciation. You write extremely well for someone your age, you use words beautifully and it all seems so natural.I like how you give a story to your recipes, unlike many of the other food blogs out there, it gives a great depth to your blog and makes it stand out from the rest. I am in University in the UK and now how you feel when you don't have time/facilities to bake, but when you do, you have a new appreciation for it! Keep up the great work and I hope you successfully juggle your busy schedule. Happy Thanksgiving.
Once again, a beautiful entry. How awesome that your dad will be flying to Pennsylvania to see you. I wonder who is the most exacted, you or your dad? Have a wonderful time and try to catch up on a little rest, too.
I've got to try those Whoopie Pies. Chocolate and Pumpkin-two of my favorites things!
I absolutely love reading your blog. I am a graduate of Emerson and even though it has been many years since I graduated, I will always remember my four years there with tremendous fondness. My closest friends, all these years later, are my Emerson friends. Also, my son went to college outside of Seattle and I fell in love with the city when we visited him You are an amazing young woman and I am grateful that I found out about you in the Emerson alumni magazine…an outstanding article about you!!
My boyfriend's mom sent basically these exact same things to us (just not chocolate) earlier this semester! And, being from Seattle, I was like, what are these? But they're so delicious! I'll have to try your recipe and see how it compares. :)
Happy Thanksgiving, Elissa! Wish you were here – you would have loved Will Bake for Food! Hope to see you at Christmas to hear all about your new jobs and school. Glad you're able to get a little time to yourself this week. Enjoy it, and good luck with finals.
"Maybe at the end of this weekend, I can bring a box of sweets back to my floor."
I think this is an excellent idea. Were I someone who lives on your floor, I would greatly enjoy that idea. If I lived there. I think your floormates would appreciate coming back to Elissa-baked food in the common room, even if that hypothetical common room smelled terrible. But, again, I don't know anything about that.
I always thought whoopie pies were a joke, some imaginary East Coast reference I didn't know. But there they are, looking tasty and tempting in your opening photo. What a surprise.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I can almost see the smiles and hear the animated conversation from here.
I hope your thanksgiving was all you wanted and more. . See you in Dec? So proud of you for working the "front of the house" at your job. . I am sure you are great!!! xoxox K
Hey! I love your blog, so I decided to give you an award. :) You can pick it up here! Thanks for posting!
Helllo : )
I love the way you manage to mix in little stories before you introduce the item you baked. I can't wait to make these : )
Happy thanksgiving! Although here in Canada we had ours a month ago.^^
Weekend… I was going to focus on catching up with my reading, but now… Well, I do have an urge to make these.;D
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! These whoopie pies sound fabulous and definitely festive!

Best regards,
oh these looks so delicious. I really have to try this recipe…I have a ton of frozen homemade pumpkin puree in my freezer!
Your comments about people getting defensive about the origin of the whoopie pie made me giggle; the first time I truly had one (being a west coaster myself, I live in Spokane) was when I visited PA for the first time (my husband is originally from there). And you are very correct. There are different brands and people are VERY protective of which brand got it "right". I look forward to making these and enjoy your holiday with friends and family!
Hi there!
I've been reading your blog for quite awhile now and it's always amazing. :) This recipe sounds pretty great. I recently did a pumpkin bundt cake with cream cheese buttercream, and that was pretty awesome too. Haven't gotten around to blogging about it yet though.
You pretty much inspired me to start my own blog. It would be amazing if you'd check it out.
Either way, keep up the awesome work. :)
<3 Rachel
I made these today!!! They are so yummy! I love the recepie beacause they not only make your kitchen smell amazing but it's a prefect recepie for chilly weather : )
I had a bit of an accident with the filling because I wrote ONE cup of cocoa powder on my flashcard and it was only HALF of a cup xp
THANKFULLY I was adding it little by little so I realized one cup was waay to much. Another mistake I made was adding the cocoa powder lastly so it in a way coated the cream cheese…I had to litterally use my hands to blend in the cocoa powder and cream cheese..it worked thou : ) So next time i make them I'll be sure to mix the cocoa powder AND powdered sugar so I can add them together. I made my cookies a little bigger so I only got six out of my batter (and a mini one). The filling was almost the exact ammount I needed. Thanks soo much (: I highly recommend these!!
That filling has me all giddy! I hope you enjoy your holiday baking this season.
hi Elissa! i'm 16 and from Singapore! you're a really inspiring writer and baker and i enjoy reading your blog very much! all the best with college and happy holidays! :D
These whoopie pies sound incredibly delicious. I was just recently introduced to pumpkin chocolate combos and can now see why everyone loves them so.
I've just made these to take to work tomorrow. I tried one with no filling and … god! Are they heavenly!! Amazing!
There's four ounces of cream cheese sitting in my fridge that's asking to be used up like this. I don't really understand what's the deal with whoopie pies (admittedly the only ones I've had are a bit…lacking), but this seems as good a place as any to start.
Glad to hear you have the option to bake still, and that you still had Thanksgiving on the east coast. Only a few more weeks til winter break comes along. Cheers til then. :)
I like whoopie pies…and your pumpkin flavoured whoopie pies sound and look scrumptious!
Thank you, Elissa for dropping by my blog earlier.
I fell in love with the Whoopie while visiting New York. No ones knows what they are in Australia so I am the only one who knows what they are all missing out on.
I love reading your blog. Everything about it is so peaceful. I am in college now, and I miss baking so terribly that the first thing I do when I get home is make sure I bake something for the family. I have never had a whoopie pie, but these look scrumptious. :)
Now you can cross them off your goals list too.
I'm almost positive I could taste that batter from the photo.
The photos are STUNNING and
I want WANT WANT
send me some please
I loved reading this post. Your writing is beautiful! I bet it'll be so nice to get together with all the loved ones that you haven't seen in a while. Not to mention all the great holiday food!! :D
Just had to comment finally. :)
Been reading your blog for awhile and I just have to say that your recipes look delicious and your writing is so eloquent. I think you will make a wonderful journalist. Wishing you the best. Happy Holidays!!

Hi, this is my first time reading your blog and I love it!!! The recipes look so amazing and each of your posts are so lovely, heart-felt and sweet. Keep on blogging and chasing your dreams.
I am going to be going off to college this coming up year, and I feel like I will be homesick, because I am very close with my family. Your blog showed me that not only will my home be with my family, but with my friends that I will meet at school and this has made even more excited to go off on my own!
Also the recipe looks amazing!
When you say that "home is in people, and not in places" I cannot help but feel as though these words are taken straight from my mouth. I could not agree with you more, and I believe there to be a true beauty in this statement. Home is not in the walls of the house that you grew up in (it may be to some standard, but not completely), it is in your mothers home cooked meals, your fathers ridiculous jokes, and your siblings' snotty remarks. Home is conversation, it is laughter, it is passion, and it is being with the ones you love regardless of the location. If the love of your family surrounds you, you are home, and what could be better than that?
These look absolutely DELICIOUS ! I live in Australia so we cannot buy canned pumpkin here and I love that you haven't used canned products in your recipe – real, from scratch, created recipes – have to make these, I am DROOLING ! hehe
[…] from 17 and Baking | Makes about 24 sandwich […]
Just found your blog and super glad I did. These whoopie pies look like the perfect thing to usher me into the fall (my favorite) season. Thanks!

Republicans say President Obama's four agency recess appointments are unconstitutional. Anderson Cooper reports.
Post by: Anderson Cooper
Filed under: Keeping Them Honest • President Barack Obama • Raw Politics
Who cares? This is just political gamesmanship on all sides. How gullible can the American voters get to listen to all this nonsense?
Yes. That is the problem with what passes for journalism today.
It used to be their job to ascertain facts for the public to form their opinion.
But bias and half facts are more entertaining.
So the fourth estate has died.
Dems. and Reps. need to get off their high horse and work together. Instead of one party saying (or doing) something in retalliation to the other is getting this country nowhere. Regardless if it is an election year and the reps. just want Obama out or vice-versa, they still need to be focusing on the real issuses. If every elected official says they have a good idea for fixing the country, do what was done in grade school, get a huge white board and write them down and then sort out the pros and cons.
Obama has consistently been denied going up the middle, (approval in the senate) so like football, he is has been forced to make an end run and move forward the goals he had set for his term of office.
Boy do I agree with you. !!!
I thought the interchange between Mr. Cooper, Ari Fleisher & the other guests regarding the use of recess appointments highlights the serious deficiencies in modern journalism. Mr. Fleisher's asserted that there was no difference betwen the Republican's blocking appointments of President Obama and how Mr. Bush was treated by the Democratic congress in his first term. Your other guest disagreed. This is an empirical question. Data is presumably available to answer that question. This assertion is a critical one for the legitimacy of the president's or the Republican's claims. CNN staff was most certainly aware of that. Yet these facts were either not known to Mr. Cooper or kept from us viewers. Thus we had no basis to choose between the two sides' assertions. Ideally, Mr. Cooper could have presented the facts to his guests for their reactions. At the least, the facts should have been given to the viewers after the interviews. Lies and distortions need to be challenged with facts, not with comppeting talking heads.
First, let me say that the President should be able to appoint whomever he wishes. And, unless they are not qualified, and unless it is a permanent appointment they should be confirmed almost without question. Let the incoming President make his own appointments if he doesn't like the current ones. Appointments should not be blocked by either party without good reason. That being said, a rule is a rule, is a rule. It's called a RECESS appointment for a reason. If Congress was in session (even if only technically) the President should NOT have made the appointment. If the parties don't like the rule, then change it.
Anderson Cooper goes beyond the headlines to tell stories from many points of view, so you can make up your own mind about the news. Tune in weeknights at 8 and 10 ET on CNN.

Parker: El futuro habla espanol for GOP
The new year has begun with an avalanche of Republican retrospectives: What went wrong? What must the GOP do?
In attempting to navigate my own thoughts, I keep bumping into advice my father gave me a long time ago: "Learn Spanish. You will need it to survive in the world you will inherit."
Living in Florida then, the trends were becoming obvious. They were literally in our neighborhood, where in 1960 a recently arrived Cuban family moved in a few doors down. Having just escaped Castro's Cuba with only a few coins sewn in the hems of the mother's and daughters' dresses, this family of six spoke little English.
We became close friends and eventually, as much out of fascination and affection as pragmatism, I did learn their language - and they mine.
My father's advice was prescient, if somewhat exaggerated. I haven't needed Spanish to survive, though being bilingual has helped. A lot. As I often tell college audiences, I was hired for my first job not because I had a journalism degree (I didn't) but because I spoke Spanish.
What was clear to my father even then is that our hemisphere could not long be segregated by language. Nor, apparently, can we be kept apart by borders, no matter how many fences we build or drones we deploy.
Meanwhile, and not incidentally, our new, 113th U.S. Congress has welcomed 31 Hispanic members. Three are in the Senate, including GOP superstar Marco Rubio of Florida and Republican Ted Cruz of Texas, as well as Democrat Robert Menendez of New Jersey. All are Cuban-American.
Of the 28 Latinos in the House of Representatives, all but five are Democrats.
Why so few Republicans? Therein lurks the relevant question for the GOP and perhaps the most important answer to the puzzle: Learn Spanish.
I offer my father's imperative not literally but as metaphor. When even some of the Latino candidates don't speak their forebears' tongue, one needn't feign fluency. Though endearing at times, nothing sounds more ridiculous - or inauthentic - than a politician pandering with a faux accent or foreign phrase. (Think President Barack Obama droppin' his g's in the South, or Hillary Clinton's rendering of James Cleveland's freedom hymn at the 42nd anniversary of "Bloody Sunday" in Selma, Ala.)
May I just say, oy?
Metaphorically, learning Spanish means learning people. Knowing them as human beings, not as statistics on a game board. Recognizing their humanity and finding new ways to talk about immigration that don't alienate entire swaths of the population.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said it best shortly after the November election: "If we want people to like us, we have to like them first."
Jindal, an Indian-American, should know. The unlikeliest of good ol' boy governors, he has managed to transcend race and ethnicity in his home state to become incoming chair of the Republican Governors Association. Anti-Latino rhetoric is especially unwelcome in post-Katrina New Orleans, where most will admit the growing Latino population rebuilt the city. Instead, dinner conversation during a recent visit with local leaders centered around the state's evolving cuisine, which is becoming a Cajun-Latino hybrid.
Upon waves of immigrants are new palates born.
And, potentially, storm-tossed political parties.
The GOP was always a natural home for Latinos, who tend to be conservative and Catholic, though decreasingly so. Fewer than 60 percent of second-generation Latinos are Catholic, according to Pew Research Center.
Even so, the Republican narrative of hard work, entrepreneurship and personal responsibility would seem to appeal to recent immigrants who are attracted by those very opportunities. Why aren't Hispanics hearing the GOP call? Because this aspirational language is drowned out by the rhetoric of rejection.
You don't need a dictionary to translate the following: Last June, Obama, who won 71 percent of the Hispanic vote, announced reprieves from deportation for hundreds of thousands of young immigrants who were here illegally, while Mitt Romney promised to end the reprieves if elected.
Whatever the legitimate arguments on either side, one shows heart and the other doesn't. Recognizing this deficit of spirit, rising non-white Republican stars are beginning to form a constellation of "opportunity conservatism," to borrow Cruz's term. The ideas aren't lacking, they say, but the messaging has been disastrous.
Whether these new ways of communication ultimately can change the complexion of the GOP remains to be seen, but the future is clear enough: Lose the Hispanic vote, and you lose. And the message to Republicans, if they want to survive, should be obvious.
