So what do you do when you get some fun winter weather — maybe a dash of ice with just enough temperature to keep things interesting? You get on the road and drive, of course!
My mission was yet another remodeling adventure. This time I took along a taste consultant for some advice on cabinets. It was my mother. My contractor recommended a stop at Home Depot to see what they had in comparison to what the local lumberyard carries. We decided we would head to Rochester, seeing as how the relatively boring trip on Highway 63 wouldn't include nearly as many icy slopes and curves as the trip to La Crosse. Oh, sure, we could have taken the more scenic Highway 52 route to Rochester, but flat and boring seemed like a better route this particular day.
As we made our way around the outskirts of Rochester, I was a bit surprised by how much traffic was moving. The road wasn't packed by any stretch of the imagination, but it was still busier than I expected. All three lanes of Highway 52 on the west side of Rochester were full of cars. It was one of those frustrating days when things won't warm up enough to really melt, but they will stay just slick enough to be a problem.
Just as we came to the interchange for St. Mary's Hospital, a green SUV began to enter the freeway. Pretty standard stuff. Everything in front of us was clear, so there was plenty of room for the SUV to get on the road ahead of us.
As the 30-something Soccer Mom driver moved from the entrance ramp to the inside lane of traffic, Jack Frost came up and smacked her upside the head in a huge way. A simple merge into traffic was wishful thinking on her part. Her SUV suddenly went sideways. And by sideways, I mean it skidded in a clockwise motion while also moving from Lane 1 to Lane 2. The rest of the motoring public on northbound 52 came to a stop at that instant. Soccer Mom did not finish with a one-lane maneuver. Nope, she went all out. Maintaining the momentum of a spinning top, she kept rotating clockwise as she made the rather bold move of using all three lanes of traffic for her little merge maneuver. Physics finally did her a favor and she came to rest just a couple feet from the concrete median.
By the time she was done with her real estate grab, she had completed a 540-degree rotation. She went across three full lanes of flowing traffic, gave everyone at least one or two looks at each corner of her vehicle, and still managed to avoid eating the concrete wall. It was truly impressive. I fully expected to see Bruce Willis, or Sean Connery, or at least Jim Rockford hop out of the passenger side of the SUV. None of them did.
Just like in a good Wile E. Coyote cartoon, everything was motionless for a couple of seconds while the "dust" settled. Three lanes of traffic had come to a completely synchronized stop. Everyone collectively looked around to see if what just happened really just happened. No dings, no dents, no broken glass, no need for a 911 call. This was the kind of event that was executed so successfully that even the East German judge would have given the driver a 9. But it was January, and there was no obvious damage, so none of us got out of our comfortable vehicles. We all sat there and did our best version of Minnesota Nice, acting like nothing had happened as we went on with our lives without making a fuss.
Try that traffic maneuver in Manhattan and see if you get the same non-response from the crowd.
That's why Kevlar was invented . . . and sells so well.
Soccer Mom sat there for a second or two, got her collective wits regrouped, figured out what her exact geographic placement was now that the Auto Ice Capades was over, and then casually proceeded to take off like it was just another trip to the store for her. At the time, she was probably less than one full car length ahead of us in the center lane. To our right was an older guy in a Buick. (Not to be redundant or anything.) To our left was a younger couple in a minivan. (Again with the redundancy.) As we all processed what happened and decided to get back into the flow of things, Mom looked to the right and made eye contact with the old guy. In perfect synchrony, they gave one another a thumbs-up! It was an excellent summary of everyone's collective thoughts at that moment in time and that scene.
Oddly enough, as traffic began to take off once again, all three lanes pretty much gave Soccer Mom a wide buffer zone. No tickets for tailgating in this group! She was OJ in the Bronco and we were all giving her plenty of room at 40 mph.
A couple more exits down the road, Soccer Mom hung a right and exited the freeway. Successfully. Without a show. We were going past her as she moved over to the exit ramp. At that very moment, completely unprovoked and unrehearsed, my dear mother leaned forward, looked out the passenger side window, caught the attention of our entertainer, and did what many of us a couple exits back wanted to do, had it not been for the traffic tie-up it would have created.
She applauded.
From way downtown, Elsie knocks one out of the park and lets Soccer Mom know her audience loves a good show. That's why I don't take her along when I sell hay.

Rencher comes to SHSU from Tulsa where he helped direct the Golden Hurricane to a 17-14 overall record and a third-place finish in the 2012 Conference USA race.
He previously coached two seasons as an assistant at Texas State University in San Marcos and was a graduate assistant under Rick Majerus at Saint Louis University.
Rencher is the all-time scoring leader at the University of Texas, where he scored 2,306 career points. He ranks sixth in career assists for the Longhorns with 440.
A four-year starter at Texas, Rencher led the Horns to three NCAA Tournament appearances, three Southwest Conference championships, one SWC Tournament title and a combined record of 83-44 from 1992-95.
As a freshman, Rencher was named Dick Vitale's National Freshman of the Year and the Southwest Conference Freshman of the Year in 1992. He completed his collegiate career as an all-conference selection as a senior in 1995.
Following his collegiate career, Rencher was the 32nd overall selection in the 1995 NBA Draft by the Washington Bullets and played one season in the NBA with Miami and Phoenix.
Rencher also played in the CBA for one year before playing nine years overseas in Israel, Croatia, Italy, Greece and Germany before beginning his coaching career. While playing for Telekom Baskets Bonn in Germany from 2001-03, Rencher averaged 15.0 and 16.1 points in subsequent years.
"We're excited to be able to hire such a quality individual whose basketball background speaks for itself. Terrence brings a wealth of experience to Sam Houston State," Hooten said. "The leading all-time scorer for his alma mater, an NBA draft pick and playing professionally both in the NBA and in Europe - those all are wonderful experiences that he will bring to our basketball program. Terrence is coming into his own as a basketball coach and recruiter. He will be a tremendous asset for Bearkat basketball."
At Tulsa, Rencher coached guards Jordan Clarkson (a first team All-CUSA selection) and Scottie Haralson (who ranked among the top 25 nationally in three-point field goals). In San Marcos, Rencher helped the Bobcats compile 30 overall wins. As a grad assistant at Saint Louis during the 2008-09 season, Rencher helped directed the Billikens to an 18-14 record.
In 2007-08, Rencher served as head coach and basketball program director for the boys' varsity program at Regents School of Austin, supervising eight teams and 70 players. In addition to his coaching duties, Rencher served as an academic mentor for the University of Texas men's basketball team from 2006-08.
During his professional basketball career, Rencher played point guard for the Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns in 1995-96 and for the Florida Beach Dogs and Grand Rapids Hoops of the Continental Basketball Association in 1996-97. Highlights of his professional career in Europe from 1997 to 2006 included "Most Valuable Player" awards in Italy and Germany and All-Star team selections in Italy, Germany, Croatia and Israel.
A native of The Bronx, New York, Rencher played his prep basketball at St. Raymond High School in New York City. He was named New York's Mr. Basketball as a high school senior in 1991.
Rencher earned his bachelor's degree in Education with an emphasis in Youth and Community Studies from the University of Texas. He and his wife, Faye, have two daughters Siena and Savannah.

text: Hi, I have a web sample.com with Auto-Subdomain set to * and I need to keep this setting because there are a lot of subdomains that must be sent to that web. I now need another web with a specific subdomain abc.sample.com. However the order of the vhost files in sites-enabled is 900-sample.com.vhost 900-abc.sample.com.vhost Because of that order of course the catchall *.sample.com will also fetch the abc.sample.com which is not intended. Is it possible to re-arrange the order of the vhost files like having 100-abc.sample.com.vhost 900-sample.com.vhost ?? Thank you

A lot of people who never heard of Shenmue are now aware of it because of this kickstarter, but the video for Shenmue 3 is off-putting to theses just now hearing about the game causing little interest in the game. A video of Shenmue 1+2 such as this- https://www.youtube.com/watch… would give those new to the series a better understanding of the Shenmue experience and build confidence in investing on the project. Sharing the video with the kickstarter link will get us further in getting the best project possible by attracting more interest into the funding of the game rather then just sharing the kickstarter link. Lets get creative!
THE PROPHET WUDE on
Thank you for your marvelous work, Tak-sama! Your work will live on forever!
Tomi Valkonen on
I just mentioned Shenmue 3 kickstarter campaign to Matt Barton or MattChat as his youtube channel is called. Hopefully he flies with it and makes something magical. Matt Barton is professor of English at St. Cloud State University and he is also author of several books about video games such as Vintage Games: An Insider Look at the History of Grand Theft Auto, Super Mario, and the Most Influential Games of All Time; Dungeons and Desktops: The History of Computer Role-playing Games; and Wiki Writing: Collaborative Learning in the College Classroom. For Youtube he does these amazing interviews with video game industry veterans such as John Romero, Brian Fargo, Tim Cain and Chris Avellone and so many other. I don't know if hes able to do interview with Yu Suzuki for his channel (which would be goddamn brilliant!) but if he made normal episode on Shenmue and its history it would at least make more people take notice.
Check his channel if you are interested in gaming, its history and people who are behind these games: https://www.youtube.com/user/blacklily8
シェンムーのアンバサダ Bit.ly/shenmueambofficial on
Hirai-san is definitely one of the most skilled programmers out there, I mean come on, the lead programmer of Shenmue Series. I trust that Shenmue 3 is in the right hands, and it has to become the best game ever made in history of video games. Together we are going to push this campaign further, spread the message in more foreign countries such as China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, so hopefully more can be raised at KS for development. Good luck! @NOVINWORKS
Vince VazquezSuperbackeron
I want it to be real interesting too - I'm totally onboard with whatever new systems, or new iterations of old systems, you guys have up your sleeves! With 15 years of progress to look at, reference, and learn from (like, say, Sleeping Dogs and the Yakuza series), I'm certain that you guys are all going to come up with some awesome contemporary stuff that still feels like Shenmue. It's real exciting to hear what's going on in Mr.Hirai's head and see him hard-at-work in UE4 already :D
Mikael Ehmer on
As long as it's well done and doesn't feel as lazy as most QTE's in games today i'm all for it, the QTE's in the originals were very well done. I do hope though that you wont scrap the Virtua Fighter combat system. If anything i want more of those kind of fights.
The ratio of QTE's to proper fights in the first game were a bit lopsided. It was a bit more balanced in the sequel. While i want both of them in the game in some form, i do prefer the virtua fighter style fights.
Faisal on
I cannot describe how happy I am that my favorite and the first open world games is coming back.I think in my opinion all consoles should have shenmue because shenmue fans are PC, Xbox, PS,and Nintendo fans, and restricting the game to limited medium won't be for the franchise, shenmue are from the fans to the fans and shenmue fans are basically Yu Suzuki-san fans.
Thanks for being thoughtful and respectful for bring shenmue back to us again.
Rooshdi Ali on
@Joseph Everything is still in the early concept changes. Things should change and improve drastically with time.
Joseph Oct18 Fontanez on
Why is Ryo (or this character) in this video jumping around unrealistically? Did Ryo get super powers or something?
Timmy Han on
Yeah I agree with Andreas O. that the QTE aspect should be turned down a little bit. I hope by 'ground-beraking' Tak doesn't mean keyboard or button smashing, lol, which would be painful by all means. xD Generally speaking, QTEs are commendable if executed well and used for the right moments, mostly dramatic climaxes so to speak. Some mini-games may avail themselves of QTEs well enough, but a certain degree of free controls should be allowed if it befits the scenario better. An example can be the brawling in The Witcher 2 and 3, of which the former uses QTEs all the way while the latter utilizes free controls which are in my opinion much better. Anyway, as long as the proportion of QTEs is well balanced, then innovation in them is definitely welcome. :)
Snakiest on
I would like to see Shenmue-style QTE. They were very well placed before they started to be abused by other developers. There was a sense of coherence to them - punch, kick, grab, or a mix of those to do something special that nevertheless made a lot of sense within the overall control scheme. There were branching paths for QTE, and they could be punishing. I felt a lot of polish went into them - to make them fun and challenging. Last but not least, I felt there was a lot of more meaning to them. They felt organic, they were part of the gameplay, and they diversified it without feeling alien to it. They were its part rather than a clumsy add-on as most of QTE feels now in modern games. Seriously, everyone, go and replay those games. That is where QTE was born and that is where it sort of died. Time to show the industry how it is done, YuTeam
To sum it up, Shenmue without QTE would lose a lot of its personality and quality. QTE is as good or as bad as the developer makes it, and YuTeam should know best how to do it right.
Padraic on
shame that would be 5:30am my time i'll be asleep
looking forward to catching up when i get up though.
Pledges seem to be going pretty well.
i'm just hoping for some in between goals to help the funding along, physical release think more people then we think would change from 29 to 60 just for that. Still hoping for remaster of 1 & 2 as i haven't played them.
Alfonso Franco: VK4 that would be cool but should try and go back to routes from the 1st game which was so sweet.
Andreas O. on
Haha QTE. I wonder how many people thought "Oh no" when he started talking about it. ;)
Personally, while I quite enjoyed QTE in Shenmue, I think it is time to dial it back a bit (but still have some in there, especially for mini games) and take inspiration from great games of recent years. Like maybe the more conscious path choices that Mass Effect offered, often without a time limit.
At the same time, I hope that the old fighting system will be kept to a large extent. While a more "free" fighting system like in Batman or Sleeping Dogs certainly felt fantastic there, I really liked the Virtual Fighter feel of combat in Shenmue. Also, Shenmue seems more like a game where you usually take on small groups of enemies, not whole armies. Which also makes a "closer" view and handling of the action more appropriate, I think.
Serdar Tosunoğlu on
I loved the combat system in the previous games but some QTE's were too difficult especially in Shenmue II. And hopefully Ryo Hazuki will replace that guy in the Trailer :D
Carlos Hernandez on
Did someone make a dummy reddit thread? Timing is different?
Ivan Osenkov on
Thanks for the update! I must say I really like the idea of creating an all-new QTE mechanics. That's a relief to know you're not going to cross it out from the game, even though there was a lot of negative around the concept in recent years. Obviously, my feeling is that QTEs are at the very heart of Shenmue experience, and I'm looking forward to see how you're going to approach this gameplay aspect and find an original yet organic way to bring it back.
Tomi Valkonen on
I loved original Shenmue because back then it felt like virtual visit to Japan which is very diffirent of my own country. I hope you are able to achieve that with Shenmue 3 as well.
Alfonso Franco on
This announcement was my favorite highlight of E3. Only thing that bugs me is the lack of a physical copy for the PS4. But still it's coming I'm so excited! Other dream games Jak 4 and Valkyria Chronicles 4.
JetStrange on
@Rooshdi about getting Shenmue 1 and 2... go herehttp://forums.sega.com/showthread.php… only sega can make that happen.
Jose Luis Tur on
The most important thing for me in the Shenmue series was the feeling that I was not the center of the world, every single npc seemed to have their own goals in life, everything was so lively... I haven't felt that feeling in any other game since. I hope I will feel the same again playing Shenmue 3 :). Can't wait, 15 years is enough! hehehe.
Guillermo Oseguera on

The person translating the video is most definitely the same person who provided the voice of Ryo in the trailer.

Cliff House, in its fourth incarnation, offers good eats and a fireside lounge on the edge of the Pacific Ocean.
High above San Francisco's western edge, where the continent ends in a rocky plunge to the Pacific, the Cliff House occupies a unique spot in the affections of the City by the Bay. Since 1863, three incarnations of the restaurant (one resembling a French château) have watered and fed admirers, including U.S. presidents, Hearsts, Stanfords, and just plain folks who have come to gape at the transcendent meeting of land, sea, and sky.
The third version was built in 1909 after the château burned down. Sadly, in recent times, visitors to this neoclassical Cliff House—1.5 million of them a year—have found it in shabby condition, its concrete exterior eroded by salt air and cluttered with clunky additions.
This past October, after 21 months and $18 million, the landmark was reborn yet again. Architects restored the 1909 structure and paired it with a light-filled, modernist building whose two-story glass walls overlook the ocean, the Marin headlands, and the ruins of Sutro Baths, a 19th-century pavilion of six saltwater swimming pools. The blend of vintage and modern has brought fresh energy and new generations to the old gathering place.
Take Geary Blvd. west until the right lane merges with Point Lobos Ave. at 39th Ave. The Cliff House is at 1090 Point Lobos. Enjoy ocean views from its white-linen restaurant, bistro, and fireside lounge. Open daily. (415) 386-3330.

Turns out the woman was mistaking a food-calorie book's index for a calorie chart.
It's not too far-fetched, seeing as few common health words are as baffling to us as "calorie." Calories are invisible, yet we try to count them and cut them. Food supplies them, but they're not nutrients.
"They're abstract," said Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition at
As a result, we're bizarrely wedded to a concept we know very little about. Calories are the first thing people look for on the Nutrition Facts panel of foods and beverages, according to a survey by the International Food Information Council and Foundation. But just 15% of Americans can accurately estimate the number of calories they should be consuming. And less than one-third of us correctly say that "calories in general are most likely to cause weight gain."
"I frequently discourage calorie counting because it can be tedious and ruin the joy of eating," said Weisenberger, a food and nutrition consultant based in
Those who can't grasp that concept should focus instead on food choices and portions. "But weight loss won't happen without calorie reduction," she said.
Most of us simply want to know how many calories we need. But to truly grasp how calories can help you reach and maintain a healthy weight, it helps to know the basics.
Are some calories more fattening than others?
Not any more than the dollar in your right pocket will buy you more than the dollar in your left pocket. Some foods are more jam-packed with calories than others. For about 220 calories, you can eat a cup of pasta, or you can eat about 4 cups of broccoli or you can munch on about 1/4 cup of nuts. They're all about the same calories, but the 4 cups of broccoli will tame your hunger more.
How many calories do I need?
The best way is to look at your weight. If you're gaining weight (and don't want to), you're eating too many calories. You can also get an estimate at mypyramid.gov.
How can I cut calories without starving or hating what I eat?
If you like vegetables, there's no reason to be hungry. They're relatively low in calories but are also filling because of their fiber and water content. Eat a couple of cups of them at dinner. It's a lot easier to decrease your potatoes and steak when you've got broccoli or zucchini or both to fill you up.
Also, try cooking at home. If takeout is your norm, commit to cooking just once or twice each week. And allow indulgences. There's no reason to give up your favorite foods. Eat smaller portions or eat them less often.

We have now celebrated our state's birthday of 150 years ago - in the midst of a horrible Civil War.
Only one month earlier, the destructive Confederate raid had demolished the B&O Railroad outside Parkersburg and destroyed the oilfield at Burning Springs, not to mention the thousands of cattle and horses stolen from local residents. Parkersburg was in constant fear of Confederate raids.
In the midst of all this and earlier turmoil, northwestern leaders methodically managed to put together a new state, and Parkersburg leaders played the most important role in that process. It is important to celebrate and remember those leaders. No other part of the Northwest came close to furnishing this level of talent who gave their all to save the area from secession. Our goal has been to document their accomplishments and make sure that future generations of historians remember them. Those men were nine in number:
First, Gen. J.J. Jackson played a major role in delaying Virginia's Secession vote by announcing the "Northwest" would not secede with eastern Virginia. This forced the radicals in Richmond to go to South Carolina to get Fort Sumter fired on, persuading members to switch votes for secession. Jackson was summoned to the White House by President Lincoln to receive praise for his pro-union speeches. Jackson then went to the First Wheeling Convention and opposed Carlile and those who wanted to immediately form a new state. After this he retired from politics.
Second, A.I. Boreman was not just the first governor of West Virginia. He worked hard to persuade reluctant north westerners to stay with the Union, by speaking and writing letters in those critical months before secession. Boreman was active in Wheeling with the new Reformed Government and was appointed to head the Second Wheeling Convention, and it was that convention that operated throughout the statehood process.
Third, P.G. Van Winkle was a local attorney, was son-in-law of W.P. Rathbone, owner of Burning Springs Oilfield (he had his own oil company), and was the local organizer of the Northwestern Virginia Railroad between Parkersburg and Grafton. Van Winkle played a major role in the Second Wheeling Convention and was elected to the Governor's Advisory Commission. Not only was he a major contributor to the convention, Van Winkle put up $10,000 to pay for the expenses of the convention. He is given credit for writing the new state's constitution. He ran against Boreman for governor but was elected and became the first West Virginia senator.
Fourth, Jacob Beeson Blair was a Parkersburg attorney and oilman out on the Staunton to Parkersburg Turnpike. He left that business to attend the First Wheeling Convention and was elected by the reformed legislature as a member of the U. S. House of Representatives. He worked to get the statehood bill through Congress and was the key to persuading Lincoln to sign the statehood bill.
Fifth, Dr. J.W. Moss was a local Parkersburg physician. He was elected to chair the tumultuous first Wheeling Convention, pitting the forces of Jackson against John Carlile. He presided over the compromise to adjourn and meet again after the Virginia secession vote. He was elected to the Reformed Virginia legislature but resigned and joined the Union Army as a surgeon. He later died in the service.
Sixth, W.E. Stevenson was a Parkersburg farmer, president of the Reformed Government Senate and active in Pierpont's government during war. He became the effective second elected governor of the new West Virginia, succeeding Boreman.
Seventh, George W. Henderson, known as owner of an active plantation, he was persuaded by Boreman to become an ardent Unionist and supporter of keeping the northwest Virginia out of the Confederacy, even though many in his family were on the other side. He was a member of the Wood County delegation to the First Wheeling Convention, and then elected to replace Moss in the Reformed Virginia House of Delegates. He voted to approve the new Constitution for submission to U.S. Congress.
Eighth, J.H. Diss Debarr was a resident of Parkersburg, was politically involved in the activities of statehood, was a close friend of Boreman's and Van Winkle's and accompanied them throughout the statehood process. He was an artist and left a great legacy by sketching political scenes, events and people. He was present in Washington when Lincoln signed the new state Constitution. He became commissioner of immigration in the New State and prepared a comprehensive guide to the resources and potential of the new state.
Ninth, John J. Jackson Jr. was a Parkersburg attorney and son of Gen. J.J. Jackson. He became U.S. District Judge in Wheeling. He became a major statehood supporter and was the judicial enforcer for laws and regulations of the reformed and new state. For example, Jackson ruled the loyalty oath of the reformed government was valid to be used to exclude non-signers from holding public office or practicing law.
It is hard to imagine the difficulties these men went through. Parkersburg at that time was just out of the wilderness. There were no paved roads, telephones, airplanes or electric lights. Neighbors, friends and relatives were on different sides of the war, with many committed with their lives or their children's lives on the line for the cause in which they fervently believed. No other state in the Union was born in such turmoil, except the original thirteen.
What we remember about this period of our history is important. Let us review the important issues in the process.
The primary goal of the statehood process was to stay in the Union. As Boreman said, "We know what freedoms and liberties we have in the Union, why risk that for an unknown in the Confederacy?" While slavery was an issue, preserving the Union was all encompassing.
Slavery was assumed to be almost a non-issue in the northwest. That was because most of the slaves had already fled to Ohio and Pennsylvania, aided by abolitionists in the Underground Railroad. One reason for not including the Shenandoah Valley, for example, was it still had a large slave-owner population and would have tipped the political balance in the new state toward the Confederacy. However the Northern Shenandoah counties were retained to enable Union protection of the critical B&O Railroad. Thus our eastern panhandle.
There are those, particularly Virginia historians, who claim that West Virginia only exists because of the military might of the federal government. Not true. The politicians in the Northwest decided to delay the statehood process by years just to make it legal. They intentionally kept Virginia in the Union to allow Virginia to give permission for West Virginia to be formed out of its territory, required by the Constitution. The easier way would have been to just declare a new state and petition Congress and the president for approval. This would probably been disapproved out of hand. However, in the methodical way it was done, Congress approved and seated the senators and congressmen from the "Reformed Virginia Government."
Remember, Confederate Virginia removed itself from the Union and had no rights under the U.S. Constitution. It was Northwestern politicians who kept us in the Union, with Constitutional protections. Modern Virginia historians should keep this in mind when they criticize West Virginia's legality. The founders of West Virginia used a careful, methodical, legal process to create the new state, which was upheld by Congress, the president and the Supreme Court. All done in the midst of a major civil war.
We give plaudits to The News and Sentinel for the excellent special edition recognizing West Virginia's 150th birthday!

Abstract: Micro-foundations have become an important emerging theme in strategic management. This paper addresses micro-foundations in two related ways. First, we argue that the kind of macro (or "collectivist") explanation that is utilized in the capabilities view in strategic management - which implies a neglect of micro-foundations - is incomplete. There are no mechanisms that work solely on the macro-level, directly connecting routines and capabilities to firm-level outcomes. While routines and capabilities are useful shorthand for complicated patterns of individual action and interaction, ultimately they are best understood at the micro-level. Second, we provide a formal model that shows precisely why macro explanation is incomplete and which exemplifies how explicit micro-foundations may be built for notions of routines and capabilities and for how these impact firm performance. Keywords: Routines, capabilities, micro-foundations, production function. JEL Code: L2, M1 URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7474

Doctor Found Reckless for Not Relieving Pain
On June 13, Compassion achieved a great victory. A California jury returned a $1.5 million dollar verdict for the undertreatment of pain at end of life. The case sets a precedent, citing that failure to treat the pain of an elderly patient can constitute elder abuse. The ruling will change the way healthcare providers view pain care for the terminally ill, and the consequences of not providing proper pain management
"We are in a new place in law and medicine," said Kathryn Tucker, Director of Legal Affairs. "Failure to treat pain is now something that physicians will be held accountable for."
William Bergman, an 85-year-old Californian dying of lung cancer, was admitted to Eden Medical Center in Northern California on February 16, 1998 complaining of intolerable back pain. He spent six days in the hospital treated by Dr. Wing Chin, an internal medicine specialist. Nurses consistently charted Mr. Bergman's pain level as 7-10, with 10 being the worst pain imaginable. He received Demerol, not the drug of choice for cancer pain. On the day he was discharged his pain remained at level 10. Bergman died in hospice care on February 24, 1998 after finally receiving proper pain management.
Beverly Bergman contacted Compassion to begin the process of holding the physician accountable for the deficient care provided to her father. On behalf of the Bergman family, Kathryn Tucker sent a letter to the California Medical Disciplinary Board requesting a medical conduct review. The California Medical Board replied by stating, "a lack of clear and convincing evidence that a violation of medical practice has occurred." In a July 1998, letter the board said, "Our medical consultant did agree with you that the pain management for your father was indeed inadequate," yet the board once again declined to take any action.
Compassion filed a suit in California State Court asserting medical malpractice and elder abuse. The defendant and hospital repeatedly asked the court to dismiss the elder abuse claims, arguing that the plaintiff was entitled only to the limited remedies available in a malpractice claim. Attorneys James Geagan, Clayton Kent and Kathryn Tucker argued that the conduct of the care of Mr. Bergman was more egregious than malpractice and constituted reckless neglect, making the remedies under the elder abuse statute available. The court denied the defense motions to dismiss, allowing the claim for elder abuse to go forward to trial. Eden Medical Center settled out of court for an undisclosed amount, promising to educate the medical staff in pain management. Dr. Chin refused to settle and the case was scheduled for trial.
Serving as an expert witness was Chief of the pain consultation clinic at San Francisco General Hospital, CIDF Board member Dr. Robert V. Brody. He testified that "There is an understanding finally that the biggest drug problem we have is with undertreatment of pain." Jurors heard testimony that Bergman's treatment was "woefully inadequate," "appalling" and "profoundly below the standard of care."
The June 13th verdict was reached after four days of jury deliberation. The jury found clear and convincing evidence that the physicians conduct was reckless, negligent abuse of an elder, and was only one vote short of conduct done with malice. The jury deadlocked on whether the doctor was guilty of malicious oppressive conduct.
This exhaustive and comprehensive three-year effort was cited in print, radio, and television outlets throughout the country. The San Francisco Chronicle published five articles during the month-long trial. Additional coverage appeared in CNN, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, and over twenty legal and medical trade publications -- placing Compassion's mission in the national spotlight.
Our thanks go to the pro bono work of co-counsels James Geagan and Clayton Kent and the firm of Brayton Purcell, who proceeded against all odds and prevailed in order to raise public awareness and educate the medical community. Costs were borne with a generous grant from The Mayday Fund.
"The message of this verdict is that the American public is no longer willing to tolerate such flagrant disregard of suffering," said Barbara Combs Lee, President of Compassion in Dying Federation. "This outcome encourages all providers to pay attention to their patient's pain and treat it appropriately. If they don't know how, they must be educated. The verdict empowers patients to insist that physicians treat pain and other symptoms at the end of life."

Address Book
- improve layout
wwp: I'd propose to (optionally) embed/dock the edit dialog contents into the AB window, thus keeping a classical look. See faked screenshots: editing user info [4], editing group members [5].
It may be important that the embedding of the edit dialog contents into the AB window is made optional (even if done by default), as this new layout might eat more space for some people. More over, users with small screens may like to keep the old scheme, i.e. use the edit dialog instead.
Also, when opening the AB, the edit part should not show, until the user explicitely wants to Edit a contact/group (dble-click on a contact/group, or using the menu entry 'Edit'). Doing this, we won't interfer w/ the way the AB is used when Composing (to add recipients), as there it's more important to see contacts than editing their data. The vertical slider between the contact list and the edit part would allow to see more contacts, but the edit part would be made close-able.
- make it a separate application ? ( I'd rather not (think startup time and fast communication between the two apps), but a --addressbook flag would be nice - Colin)
- I'll take those ideas to make a separate address book application that would generate vcards so that it could work (theorically with all apps) -- Hoa.
- make it a plugin! The tree structure of the AB makes it an ideal candidate to appear as another folder hierarchy. Further ideas include drag'n'drop of addresses/mails (droping a mail would add all the addresses contained in it).
- open the AB hooks API in Sylpheed-Claws so that plugins can be written to use other address books (or other AB program to be used directly). IMO nothing easy here, and I'm not even dealing w/ the completion mechanism.
- in account configuration, hide advanced option so that basic options are all under the same tab

This week I present to you another alphabet blog challenge double whammy. A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about my 3xgreat-grandfather Josiah Jolly, and this week I am writing all about my ancestors, the Leman's of Loddon.
My ancestors - the Leman's (pronounced like the fruit, lemon) lived in the county Norfolk market town of Loddon in the 1700s through to the early 1900s. Situated about 12 miles from Norwich, Loddon is thought to mean muddy river (Celtic meaning). The Norfolk Broads is connected by the river Chet that runs through Loddon. In the past Loddon was largely agricultural but nowadays it is a commuter settlement for those who work in Norwich, Lowestoft and beyond.
My 4xgreat-grandfather William Leman was born about 1767 and lived in Loddon until his death in 1839. Writing this post has brought to my attention that I know nothing else about him, not even his occupation (I will order his death certificate, pronto). He may have had a brother, John Leman, who died in Loddon in 1843. John can be found in the 1841 census as 'Independent', living in The Grove. There is also William's son, John Leman, who was a Grocer & Draper on the High Street. William's youngest son, born in 1814 was my 3xgreat-grandfather.
|Leman's Grocer & Draper Store (right)

William Leman was a Saddler & Harness Maker by trade. He was listed in various Trade Directories such as Kelly's and Pigot's. In 1838 William married a local girl from Thelveton (more about her family will be written in my letter R post). They had at least seven known children, including twin daughters. One of those twin daughters was my 2xgreat-grandmother. It is not entirely clear who introduced the Methodist faith to the Leman family but sometime in the 1800s they were known for this religious practice both in Loddon and surrounding districts, such as Beccles.
William's brother John Leman, mentioned above, had a son John Spence Leman. He carried on the grocer & draper business in the High Street for many years, until his death in 1908, when his son Ernest Spence Leman carried on the trade. Of the two brothers, John Leman seemed to have faired better, business-wise. William Leman's humble, yet important for the time, trade of Saddler was not carried on by any of his sons. In fact, they followed in their uncle John's footsteps and became Tailors, Clothier Assistants and Drapers.
|Leman's Universal Stores
Image courtesy of Before Your Time http://www.loddonhistory.org.uk
The Leman family owned land right up both sides of the High Bungay Road as well as several other throughout the village. On the Tithe Map of 1838, John Leman owned some property in The Pits, while he owned and occupied The Grove - the cottage right on the point between High and Low Bungay Road. Today this Grove is called Leman Grove which intersects with Leman Close and High Bungay Road.
"Leman's Universal Stores sold everything from bacon to best hats. The first floor rooms were only 5' high and were used as a mini sweat shop with girls and ladies sewing the orders in the shop below. The rails outside supported a blind which pulled out to shade the articles in the window and shelter window shoppers if it rained. The Leman family were ardent Methodists and were extensively involved in the community."

My small claim-to-fame is that my auntie used to play tennis with the sister of Davy Jones (of Monkees fame) during the 1960s. Davy and his family lived in Loddon for a time. Also, my mother met an Irish pop group in Loddon, called The Bachelors. The photographs in her collection are so sweet, the boys are sat at a table with cups of tea whilst they meet and greet the fans!

All across the country, young people who were not raised in agricultural environments are getting involved in sustainable food production. Aliza Eliazarov, a photographer who has long had an interest in environmental issues, decided to document the various manifestations of this movement in her series, "Sustain." "I was curious to see what it looked like, to see what was happening with young college graduates starting CSAs and leasing plots of land or starting urban farms and rooftop farms," she said.

I'm going to end this post on an extremely positive note by making a very exciting announcement. I'm so honored that Troma Productions (the legendary horror film company responsible for classics like the Toxic Avenger series, Terror Firmer, and Blood Sucking Freaks) contacted the nefarious scoundrels at Käärme Concepts and asked us to provide the costumes for their current production, Return to Nuke 'Em High. Return to Nuke 'Em High will be the fourth installment in the Nuke 'Em High series (read more on Nuke 'Em High here, and we at Käärme are majorly pumped to see our gear on the Cretins, the leading ladies, and the other cast members. So we're warning you now: watch Return to Nuke 'Em High when it unleashes itself on Netflix, Redbox, On Demand, etc etc etc, or we'll make sure the next joint you smoke is radioactive weed and you puke a baby monster into a toilet bowl ;)

Have 104,000 on vehicle. First two sets of tires were Goodyear Eagles. Both sets of Goodyear tires never wore evenly regardless of watching air pressure and wheel alignment. Third set of tires were these Hankook Ventus V12 Evos, Outstanding tires. They wore evenly and never had problems with loosing air pressure like the Goodyears. I'm buying another set for my car. No more Goodyears for me.

Great summer tire. My set is worn out. Time to buy some new ones.
3.35 out of 5Submitted by Ian in California on 1/20/2015(2001 Honda Accord EX)
Tires grip really good due to the soft rubber compound, but don't buy these if you are looking for a long lasting tire. They have a very low tread life rating (320) so you will be replacing them sooner than most tires. Make sure you get a good alignment as well. These tires wear even quicker without the proper alignment. Otherwise these tires are pretty good overall especially if you have a sporty car.
5 out of 5Submitted by Chuck in California on 10/24/2014(2006 BMW M5 Base Rear)
These are awesome tires, especially for its price. In my opinion the Michelin PS2s are still the best tires but they are not worth the extra money compared to the Ventus V12 EVO2. This set just replaced the V12 EVO K110 so I went back to them...enough said.

SLOVYANSK, Ukraine — Ukrainian troops moved against pro-Russia forces in eastern Ukraine on Thursday, killing at least two of them in clashes at checkpoints, both sides said. Russian President Vladimir Putin decried what he described as a "punitive operation."
The fighting was the first since acting President Oleksandr Turchynov on Tuesday ordered the resumption of military operations in eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russia protesters and masked gunmen have seized government buildings in at least 10 cities and set up roadblocks.
In Moscow, Putin threatened Kiev with unspecified consequences.
"If the Kiev government is using the army against its own people this is clearly a grave crime," Putin said.
The Ukrainian government and the West, who have accused Russia of directing and supporting the insurgents, worry that Putin would welcome a pretext for a military intervention in eastern Ukraine. Putin denies that any Russian agents are operating in Ukraine, but insists he would have the right to intervene to protect the ethnic Russians who make up a sizeable minority in the east.
Russia has tens of thousands of troops arrayed along its side of Ukraine's eastern border.
Earlier in Tokyo, President Barack Obama accused Moscow of failing to live up to "the spirit or the letter" of a deal last week to ease tensions in eastern Ukraine. If that continues, Obama said, "there will be further consequences and we will ramp up further sanctions."
The Ukrainian Interior Ministry said military and special police forces killed "up to five terrorists" while destroying three checkpoints north of Slovyansk, a city 160 kilometers (100 miles) west of the Russian border that has emerged as the focus of the armed insurgency. One government force member was injured, the statement said.
Stella Khorosheva, a spokeswoman for the Slovyansk insurgents, said two pro-Russia fighters were killed at a checkpoint in the village of Khrestyshche, 10 kilometers (six miles) north of the city. She said checks were being made at hospitals to see if there were other casualties.
She later claimed that the pro-Russian militia had regained control over the checkpoints that had been attacked by the Ukrainian troops.
The situation was quiet in Slovyansk itself, but checkpoints inside the city were abandoned and it was unclear where the pro-Russia insurgents manning them had gone.
Khorosheva said the fighters were ready to repel any attack by government troops.
"We will defend ourselves to our last drop of blood. We are ready to repeat Stalingrad," she told The Associated Press, invoking the memory of the Soviet army's victory over German forces in 1942-43.
At least 10 Ukrainian government armored vehicles were seen parked on the road north of Slovyansk and two helicopters were circling over the area. Troops ordered residents in the area to keep away.
Near the town of Makatikha, several miles (kilometers) north of Slovyansk, pro-Russia militia set fire to barricades of car tires in an apparent attempt to reduce the visibility from the air. An Associated Press reporter saw about two dozen militiamen manning checkpoints along the road earlier in the day.
In the southeastern city of Mariupol, Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said his forces had cleared city hall of the pro-Russia protesters who had been occupying it for more than a week. The Ukrainian city sits along the main road between Russia and Russia's newly annexed Black Sea peninsula of Crimea.
Avakov wrote in a Facebook post that Mariupol city hall "has been freed to resume work" but did not describe the operation.
Yulia Lasazan, a spokeswoman for Mariupol's police department, told The Associated Press about 30 masked men armed with baseball bats stormed the building in the dark early Thursday and started beating the protesters. Five people were taken to a hospital, she said.
It was not clear why the protesters, some of whom were believed to be armed, did not offer resistance but called local police instead. Lasazan said the police were controlling Mariupol city hall's perimeter and were negotiating with the remaining protesters to leave the building.
Ukraine is going through its biggest political crisis since the fall of Soviet Union, set off by months of anti-government protests that led to President Viktor Yanukovych's flight to Russia in February.
Yanukovych's ouster sparked wide anger in his support base in Ukraine's east. The insurgents, who claim Ukraine's post-Yanukovych government consists of nationalists who will suppress the east, are demanding regional autonomy or even annexation by Russia.
Ukraine and Russia reached a deal in Geneva last week to defuse the crisis, but pro-Russian insurgents in the east — and right-wing militants in Kiev — have defied calls for all sides to disarm and to vacate the buildings they are occupying.

Brazilian metal band Eminence's new EP, "Minds Apart" comes with 4 never before published new songs. Produced by Eminence's guitar lead Alan Wallace and mixed by Tue Madsen (Meshuggah, Heaven Shall Burn, Moonspell), Minds Apart has already locked 10 shows in Europe last year and in November the band will be Touring in North America (US & Mexico).
The album's art work (Viktor Koen) reflects a clear message: Although we live in a connected world, we are miles apart. People are forgetting to feed their soul and this is causing an awful disillusion.
Formed in 1995, Eminence quickly cultivated a strong following in the metal underground scene of their home country and in Europe. The group made its live U.S. debut in the autumn of 2012 during New York's CMJ Music Marathon, performing on a boat with metal icons Prong. That performance led The Village Voice to declaring Eminence as "a band to watch." The band made a triumphant return to the States in spring 2012 at SXSW, with plans for a proper North American tour in the works. Before that, though, Eminence will embark on a European headlining tour.
New Single Out Now!!!!
Recorded at Eminence Studios,BH, MG, Brazil
Produced by Alan Wallace & Eminence
Mixed by Tue Madsen at Antfarm Studios,DK
Mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound,NYC

Brooklyn native Damaris Lewis has appeared in the 2009, 2010, and 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues. In 2012 she toured with famed musician Prince as his muse / dancer, all the while keeping up with the happenings of the NBA. She'll be reporting on all things NBA Style during 2013 NBA All-Star in Houston.
All-Star Saturday | Style Guide
By Damaris Lewis
Photo 1: Kobe Bryant
- Kobe got tired of telling people everything he's accomplished so he put it on his jacket.
- What happens when Kobe tries to type all of his NBA titles and medals into a tweet and they can't fit.
Photo 2: Joakim Noah, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant
- Now THIS is what I'm talking about. Cool, calm and collected. I love the burgundy pants on Joakim, Russell Westbrook decided to get on my good side by wearing suspenders, and Kevin Durant in that plum suit is the definition of dapper.
- I kind of wish that Joakim Noah had on longer socks, it would have made this look a tad more formal. All-Stars is like the Oscars of basketball, but I love the look nonetheless.
Photo 3: The All-Star newcomers…and Luol Deng
- Jrue Holiday, Brook Lopez, and Paul George look great. I love the bowtie on Holiday. George could have lost the scarf to make his outfit a little neater, but his copper tie is my favorite accessory in that elevator!
Photo 4: Dwight Howard, Zach Randolph
- Trying to figure out if Dwight is about to head into the All Star Game or a T-mobile commercial audition.
- Z-Bo is auditioning to be his understudy.
- I didn't know they made pink pants in size "Giant."
Photo 5: Chris Paul
- I loved this look until I looked down and saw his "Russell Westbrook Jurassic Park pants" socks!!!! I'm going to have to give State Farm a call to fix this.
- Take note fellas: If you are going to wear a full collard shirt, tie, and vest, do as Chris does and tuck in your tie.
Photo 6: Tim Duncan
- Tim Duncan, like Kobe, probably told himself yesterday morning "I don't care about fashion, I'm here to play." What happened next? This outfit.
Photo 7: Westbrook, Durant, David Lee, Howard
- I want you to take a good look at Westbrook, Durant, and Lee's faces. I'm pretty sure they all wanted to ask Dwight why he's wearing the 2011 All Star Game's Pink Carpet on his legs.
Photo 8: B.o.B.
- I don't have to squint and ask myself what he's wearing today so I'll just leave it at not squinting. Even though I'm sure he is with those sunglasses on inside the arena.
Photo 9: Westbrook's new Jordans
- Because it's MJ's birthday I won't go in TOO much on these sneakers. I will say that if someone ever decides to make a movie called "Crouching Dinosaur, Hidden Fashion" that these need to be on the poster.
Photo 10: Beyonce
- It's Beyonce, she can do no wrong. *drops mic*
Photo 11: Kevin Hart
- Wondering if Kevin Hart had to get this green jacket tailored because the size small was too big for him.
- Sunglasses. Indoors. #YOUKNOWYOUCANTSEE.
Photo 12: Ke$ha
- Ke$ha thought she was performing on Dia de los Muertos, not on All-Star Sunday Night.
- Somewhere in the world a kid has just picked their Halloween costume for this October.
Photo 13: Ludacris
- I can't tell if that's a picture of Kobe, Chuck, or a life-size portrait of a bald Kevin Hart on his shirt.
Photo 14: Diddy and Jay-Z
- All Black Everything!!! Nothing bad to say here, two pioneers of hip-hop looking very clean cut as always.
Photo 15: Gloria Reuben
- *singing* You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happyyyyy when skies are grey.
More Lewis: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3

In a ceremony that began at an unusual time of 7:45 a.m., the president said, "hardworking farmers and ranchers, whether they be from Texas or Maine, from Mississippi or California, were up early and working hard."
Responding to criticism of the farm bill by newspapers and some fellow Republicans, the president said he wanted to talk about the "tremendous contributions farmers make to America and the support they deserve" as he signed the measure that provides an $73.5 billion above the current legislation over the next 10 years.
"American farm and ranch families embody some of the best values of our nation: hard work and risk-taking, love of the land and love of our country," he said. "Farming is the first industry of America the industry that feeds us, the industry that clothes us, and the industry that increasingly provides more of our energy. The success of America's farmers and ranchers is essential to the success of the American economy."
The president noted that he was honored to be the governor of the second-biggest farm state in the union, and that he understands how hard farmers have to work to make a living.
"I recently spent some time with some of my neighbors at the coffee shop in Crawford, Texas. I know how hard many struggle. Their livelihood depends on things they cannot control: the weather, crop disease, uncertain pricing. They need a farm bill that provides support and help when times are tough. And that is why I'm signing this bill today."
In the past, he said, loan rates and minimum price farmers and ranchers received for some of their commodities were set too high. "This practice made the problem worse by encouraging surplus production, thereby forcing prices lower. This bill better balances loan rates, and better matches them to market prices."
The legislation also reduce government interference in the market and in farmers' and ranchers' planting decisions, he said, adding that it support the Bush administration's commitment to open trade and complies with the United States' obligations to the World Trade Organization.
"I told the people, I said if you give me a chance to be the President, we're not going to treat our agriculture industry as a secondary citizen when it comes to opening up markets," the president said. "And I mean that. I understand how important the farm economy is to the future of our country.
"And because I believe the best way to help our farmers and ranchers is trade, I need trade promotion authority, particularly from the Senate. The House has passed it; I need it from the Senate. Soon."
Bush noted the legislation offers incentives for good conservation practices on working lands.
"For farmers and ranchers, for people who make a living on the land, every day is Earth Day. There are no better stewards of the land than people who rely on the productivity of the land. And we can work with our farmers and ranchers to help improve the environment."
He said the new farm bill will also help break a bad fiscal habit. In the past, Congress would pass a multi-year farm bill, and then every year after continue to pass supplemental bills.
"These unpredictable supplemental payments made it difficult for Congress to live within its budget, he said. "It also created uncertainty for farmers and ranchers, and their creditors. The bill I'm going to sign is generous enough to eliminate the need for supplemental support later this year and in the future, and therefore adds the kind of reliability that farmers and ranchers need."

It will take one of the best speeches of President Barack Obama's life on Tuesday to salvage his losing battle on Syria. Winning congressional authorization for a strike has now become the defining foreign policy issue of Obama's second term.
With three years remaining in office, the vote will either revive his presidency or leave him rudderless.
There has been legitimate criticism of the tactics Obama has used since the Syrian government's barbaric gas attack outside Damascus. The president should have demanded that Congress be called back from recess immediately. He should also have made a far more personal and passionate case for strikes.
But what may doom the president's effort, in the end, is not his short-term tactics. It is years of contradictory policies by the American government and Obama himself.
As Charles Blow noted in the New York Times last week, this is the "Era of Disbelief," where Americans don't trust their president or Congress. Blow rightly cited Iraq as the primary cause. But a litany of other government half-truths have pushed the public's trust in its government to record lows.
"According to Gallup, only 10 percent of Americans now have a 'great deal' or 'quite a lot' of confidence in Congress, a record low since Gallup started tracking the measure in 1973," Blow wrote. "Only 36 percent have the same level of confidence in the presidency."
Obama's primary sin has been contradiction. On many issues related to the war on terror, he has broken campaign promises or adopted inconsistent positions. Obamais now asking Americans to trust him on Syria. But they will not.
First, the Middle East. For the last six years, Obama has told Americans that the United States needs to extricate itself from the region. He proclaimed a "pivot to Asia" — the region, he said, that was far more important to America's economic future than the Middle East.
Iraq and then Afghanistan were countries that the United States should get out of,Obama declared. And never look back. For two years, this same message was conveyed about Syria.
Now, Obama is telling Americans that acting in Syria is vital. Voters respond with a simple question: Why now?
In one surprising aspect of the public debate, the Israel government and the powerful American Israel Public Affairs Committee support a strike — but this has failed to sway lawmakers, including conservative Republicans who normally shower support on Israel.
Distrust of Obama on the right is no surprise. Conservatives have mistrusted him for years. What threatens Obama is a lack of trust from his liberal base
Since he won re-election, liberals have cited a growing litany of false promises byObama. He has made only a tepid effort to close Guantanamo Bay; insisted on cloaking drone strikes in secrecy, and strongly defended sweeping National Security Agency surveillance.
The candidate that liberals thought would return the rule of law to the war on terror has embraced too many of President George W. Bush's practices.
After spending most of his first and second term expanding the power of the imperial presidency, Obama is now going to Congress for a Syria vote. Meanwhile, the White House maintains a "kill list" of people — Americans included — whom the president can target in drone strikes without open judicial review. Obama has refused to release the legal rational or standards of evidence the executive branch uses to determine who will die.
Obama also disappointed his liberal base on Afghanistan. In his first term, he carried out a surge of U.S. troops instead of the withdrawal that many on the left expected. In his second term, he has talked about keeping as many as 15,000 soldiers in Afghanistan as a "residual force" instead of making a clean exit.
Finally, Obama's response to the widespread NSA eavesdropping revealed by Edward J. Snowden has stunned many liberals. Obama said he "welcomed a debate" on surveillance — but then declined to reveal the extent of the programs or open them to public review. On surveillance as well, Obama is asking the American public to trust him.
A similar distrust exists overseas. Europeans who expected sweeping reforms of American anti-terror efforts are disappointed. The Snowden leaks, in particular, have been devastating. From Germany to Mexico, the NSA has been secretly eavesdropping on foreign leaders — while insisting it was doing nothing of the sort.
There is a chance Obama will somehow win the congressional vote. But the damage the Syria debate is inflicting on his credibility is deep.
The president has engaged in one contradiction too many.

If anything has become obvious watching the Raiders in the first half, it's that the team MVP is clearly the doctor who performed triceps surgery on left tackle Jared Veldheer this morning.
Getting Veldheer back this season, which they think is a possibility, could be crucial to the survival of Raiders quarterback Matt Flynn.
Flynn didn't look comfortable until the two-minute drill against the Saints, primarily because he didn't have much of a chance for most of the night.
Next-man-up left tackle Alex Barron has struggled mightily against the Saints, and Rob Ryan's new defense isn't going to be confused for his father's 1985 Bears team anytime soon.
Flynn was sacked five times in the first half, making his 12-for-16, 124-yard performance downright heroic. Flynn actually stood in the pocket and delivered a touchdown pass late in the half, which speaks to his toughness as much as his skill.
