Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — The wife and I just got back from celebrating our wedding anniversary in Kennebunkport, Maine. We love going to Kennebunkport, but we don't spend any real time staring at the Bush compound where W's daddy lives. I find it kind of funny that there is an area set up along the side of the road so people can park and take a picture of George H.W. Bush's house. It's a nice house, but he is only there during the summer.
I have decided that I am going to get into the study of tides and oceanography, or whatever they call it, because I really need to know where the ocean goes each and every day. If you have never seen a tide come in or go out, then you are missing something pretty interesting.
Everyday around 2:30pm, the water would start rushing into the port area and fill up the port basin and the area where the little shops are. It is moving so fast you would swear that it is moving downhill. At around 7:00pm, you can see it rushing back out of the port area just as quickly. I am not an expert on ocean tides, so this little ritual fascinates me. Even if I were an expert on ocean tides, I still think that the sight of the ocean moving rapidly in opposing directions each and every day, like clockwork, would freak me out.
The great thing about places like Kennebunkport is that they force you to be patient in order to enjoy the little miracles of life. As we were driving out of New York State, two plane paths had crossed in the sky. >From our vantage point, it looked like they intersected, but that was probably not the case.
As the two paths expanded and started to dissipate, they did so in such a way that it created the image of a large bird in the sky. The wife got a picture of it and it is pretty cool. They look like clouds that are completely out of place, and that is what makes it look so interesting.
We stopped at a lot of places and the wife took a lot of pictures. She is getting really good at capturing a moment. She has several pictures she took of simple ocean waves that I think are good enough to frame and sell. Then she managed to snap a picture of a perfect spider web that was enhanced by the morning dew and an ideal kiss of light from the morning sun. The funny thing about that picture is that she hates spiders, but she hung in there long enough to get a great picture.
I am always a "big event" kind of guy. I won't get my phone out to take a picture unless it is something really spectacular. But, on our trip, my wife taught me the value of paying attention to the very details that make up our life.
The whole idea of her ability to see the monumental events in common occurrences struck a chord with me as I was looking the pictures over this morning. It occurred to me that, right up until our trip to Kennebunkport, my wife was fully prepared to enjoy the next phase of our life together, and I was not.
Someone once told me that if you pay attention to your wife, then you can never go wrong. Oh, wait a minute; it was my wife who told me that. But she is right. I am so caught up in the big picture changes that are happening to both of us that I was not prepared to take in the details.
A simple wave rolling in over the rocks is significant because we don't get the chance to see ocean waves every day. Maybe she has been trying to teach me about the details in life all along and I never really paid attention. How ironic is that?
I still have a ton of things I need to do to start achieving my professional goals for the next few years. I have stories to write and products to sell. But I get it now about the importance of the details in life.
As I get older, it becomes even more important that I not let the details slip by me. I am not going to get many more chances to transition to a next phase in my life, so I better pay closer attention to my wife and make sure that I savor the details along with conquering the big picture challenges. In the end, it is all an important part of our life together and the future of our growing family.

Packers starting ROLB Erik Walden has been released after spending the weekend in jail.
Walden was arrested Friday on suspicion of assaulting his girlfriend at their apartment near Green Bay. Court was closed for the holiday weekend. Walden was released Monday on a $1,000 signature bond. Local authorities revealed that Walden's girlfriend was treated for a head laceration at a Green Bay hospital.
Brown County District Attorney John Zakowski says Walden's girlfriend has changed her story, and that more interviews need to be conducted before he decides if charges will be filed against Walden.
The 26-year-old Walden has started every game so far this season. He had a team-leading eight tackles with two QB hits in the Packers' Thanksgiving Day win over the division-rival Lions.

RALEIGH — Dr. Charles van der Horst has been around the world as an internationally known AIDS researcher and says he's seen poverty and limited medical care in Third World countries that can move an observer to tears.
On Wednesday, the physician from UNC Hospitals got choked up on a witness stand in Wake County District Court while describing his motives for joining one of the demonstrations this summer outside the General Assembly chambers.
The legislature had just rejected the federal government's offer to expand Medicaid as part of the new federal health care law, and van der Horst said he was frustrated that he had not been able to present his concerns to any of the Republican leaders guiding that decision.
"This was going to have a direct impact on my patients," van der Horst, 61, testified before tears welled in his eyes and his speech became halting.
After two days of testimony in November and a full day Wednesday, van der Horst and another defendant, Tye Hunter, were found guilty of second-degree trespass but not guilty of violating N.C. State Legislative Building rules.
Van der Horst and Hunter, a lawyer who recently stepped down as executive director of the Center for Death Penalty Litigation, immediately appealed the decision to Wake County Superior Court. They, like some of the other demonstrators found guilty of charges lodged against them during the summer protests, will seek a jury trial.
Rejection of expansion
The General Assembly rejected a Medicaid expansion that would have added between 318,000 and 500,000 low-income North Carolinians to the federal-state health insurance program for the poor.
The federal government would have paid for the expansion for the first three years and covered 90 percent of the cost afterward. But North Carolina lawmakers said the state costs would still be substantial. Republican leaders also said they worried the federal government would renege on its agreement and that the state would be left with a large bill.
Van der Horst, an advocate of the health law who has testified before Congress on medical issues, said he had tried to talk with his state legislators in February about the Medicaid expansion proposal in the Affordable Care Act and got nowhere.
By May 6, he said, his exasperation had grown, and not only was he worried about his patients, he also was worried about the financial impact the decision would have on UNC Hospitals, which treats many of the state's indigent patients. The failure to expand Medicaid is expected to cost state hospitals nearly $600 million.
"There was this frustration that I couldn't make my voice heard, and I thought it was going to lead to the death of my patients," van der Horst told William Lawton, a former Wake County District Court judge brought in by the state Administrative Office of the Courts to preside over trials of some of the 900-plus demonstrators arrested this summer at the General Assembly.
Lawton spoke about van der Horst's testimony while announcing his verdict, saying that he "has a passion I wish all doctors have."
While on the stand, van der Horst recounted his personal reasons for protesting – the oath he took upon becoming a doctor, his immigrant parents' belief in the U.S. Constitution and his clinical experience since the decision had been made.
Tale of two patients
Van der Horst told Lawton about the impact on two patients – one he had treated and one that another physician had seen.
Both patients had been unable to get prescriptions filled that would have been covered either by Medicaid or new Affordable Care Act regulations. One patient was diabetic with a foot ulcer unable to get antibiotics that would have been provided were he added to the Medicaid roster. Another had been losing weight for 18 months and was finally diagnosed with an illness that could be treated with prescription drugs, but his insurance company denied them.
'Incredibly frustrating'
Van der Horst said it was "incredibly frustrating" as a physician to be able to make such a diagnosis and then see the patient unable to get the necessary treatment because of such barricades.
"I think that's what got me crying," van der Horst said.
Van der Horst said afterward that he did not take the conviction lightly and that he never had been arrested before.
But he added that he did not regret trying to raise awareness of an issue of utmost importance to him.
"For me, I felt I was in between a rock and a hard place," van der Horst said.

State Sen. Ed Harbison and a civic organization that serves the needy were both recipients Monday, Feb. 18, of a Legacy of Leadership Award for outstanding service to the black community.
Harbison and members of the Controllers' Civic and Social Club received the awards at the 28th Annual Black History Observance Breakfast at the Columbus Convention & Trade Center.
During the breakfast, which drew a crowd of about 500, there was also a moment of silence in memory of a previous recipient of the award, Maretta Taylor, a former Columbus educator and member of the Georgia House of Representatives. Taylor died Sunday morning at age 78.
Karl Douglass, co-chair of the Black History Observance Committee, said the award is presented annually to organizations and individuals who have worked for the advancement of local African-Americans over the course of their lives.
The committee showed two moving video tributes highlighting the senators career and the work of the Controllers' Civic and Social Club.
The club consists of active and retired military members who serve the community. It started about 30 years ago when Capt. Robert Saulter, who was serving with the U.S. Army as an equal opportunity officer, wanted to do something special to observe black history. He brought together 12 of his friends and they launched a Miss Black Heritage Pageant. Since then, the group has evolved into a community service organization that focuses on the youth and elderly.
The group has provided more than 21,000 pairs of shoes to Head Start children, according to the video, and regular donations to churches and needy families. Each year, members serve as hosts and hostesses at the black history breakfast and on Monday they were on duty dressed in red jackets.
This is quite a shock, but its a great honor, said Will Simmons, the organizations president, while accepting the award. We all understand that our children are our future Most of their lives are formed between 1 and 6. So thats why we try to do those things to make their lives better.
Haribson, a former Columbus newscaster, was recognized for his public service for over 20 years. He was described as an advocate for military families through his work as chairman of the Senate Veterans and Military Committee. He has also pushed for adequate health care and a safe community for all residents, the video said.
First elected to the senate in 1992, Harbison has also served as chairman of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus, the Mayors Committee for a Drug Free Columbus and the Community Task Force on Gangs.
The video about Harbison included a tribute from State. Rep. Calvin Smyre, former radio station manager Al Smith and Borden Black, who worked with Harbison in the early '80s as the first African-American/white anchor team in Columbus. We had some great times together, Black said. And I think we really advanced the television business.
But the most moving tribute came from Harbisons son, Ed Harbison Jr. He said his father was a product of Montgomery, Ala., birthplace of the civil rights movement, and showed him how to be a man through his life as a trailblazer in the black community.
Hes not a very tall man, but he has a big heart, he said. Hes big in stature and that allowed him to blaze some of those firsts among African-American men in our family and in our community.
Harbison, who stepped to the podium almost speechless, thanked the committee for the award. He also reflected on his life during the civil rights era, saying that he and countless others suffered violence for the color of their skin.
But one thing I learned from Dr. King, and (Atlanta Mayor) Maynard Jackson, he said. Be a man too busy to hate. If you focus on the right thing, it all comes together in the final analysis.

Anal sac adenocarcinoma is reported to represent 2% of all skin tumors and 17% of perianal tumors in dogs.1,2 So although it is an uncommon tumor, it is locally invasive and has a high rate of metastasis to the draining iliac lymph
nodes, making early diagnosis and treatment essential for long-term control. Hypercalcemia of malignancy is seen in some cases
as a paraneoplastic syndrome and may contribute to presenting clinical signs.
Early detection and aggressive treatment are essential in the successful management of this tumor, which emphasizes the importance
of a rectal examination as part of a routine physical examination in all animals. Treatment typically requires a multimodal
approach involving surgery, radiation, and, potentially, chemotherapy.
Owners or groomers may be the first to notice perineal swelling or discomfort. The primary anal sac mass or enlarged iliac
lymph nodes may cause constipation, obstipation, tenesmus, dyschezia, or ribbonlike stools. Earlier clinical signs are not
always noticed by owners but can include scooting and excessive licking of the perineal area. Polyuria, polydipsia, anorexia,
and lethargy can be seen secondary to hypercalcemia of malignancy, a common sequela of anal sac adenocarcinoma, although not
all dogs with hypercalcemia will display such clinical signs. Anal sac adenocarcinoma can also be an incidental finding on
rectal examination in a high proportion of affected dogs.8 On occasion, the anal sac mass may be small compared with the size of the metastatic iliac lymph nodes, so an abdominal
ultrasonographic examination with careful attention to the sublumbar area is recommended when an anal sac mass is palpated
or in cases of hypercalcemia of unknown origin.8
In most cases, a physical examination will reveal a perianal mass associated with one or both anal sacs. Occasionally, a mass
may not be appreciated externally, so a thorough digital rectal examination is advised in all dogs. Enlarged iliac lymph nodes
may be palpable on rectal examination in cases of metastatic or reactive lymphadenopathy, but this enlargement can be difficult
to detect in larger dogs or in cases in which the enlargement is subtle.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Thanks to the work of two local artists, the aesthetic appeal of Downtown Norman has been enhanced with the addition of two new sculptures.
Pieces created by Norman artists, Jonathan Hils and Craig Swan, recently were installed on Main Street as part of the West Main Street Sculpture Project, a Norman Public Arts Board project. The sculptures were dedicated Friday night during a ceremony at MAINSITE gallery.
"These two sculptures, much like any piece of public art, helps the public to engage with their surroundings," PAB chair Larry Walker said. "In other words, as a person stands and views a public piece of art they have their own emotional reaction to the piece. That's what art does. So the more we have of that, in different styles, the better for the community."
With themes that represent Oklahoma, Walker said the artists' works are appropriate for the locations they were installed and add a "new dimension to the visual aspects of Downtown Norman."
Hil's sculpture, "Silver Lining," is installed at Santa Fe Avenue and Main Street and is an abstract representation of Oklahoma weather. The piece ties together the ideas of Norman as both a weather research hub and dynamic artistic community. The cloud-themed piece, water-jet cut from solid steel plate, is shaped by a manipulation of Norman's downtown city streets and is laid out as a weather vane.
As a sculpture professor at the University of Oklahoma, Hils has ample professional arts experience, but said displaying his work so close to home is a real treat. He hopes his work provides a sense of place for the community.
"A sense of wonder, a sense of being able to contemplate something that is new and different in their everyday lives and remind them that where they are is a special place," said Hils, on what he hopes the public obtains from viewing his work.
Swan's "Sun Dial," installed at Webster Avenue and West Main Street, is comprised of three sheets of steel — made brick red with a chemical patina — welded together, featuring cutouts of scissor-tailed flycatchers that casts shadows on the surrounding sidewalk. Swan said he wants the public to be able to relate and engage with his work.
"I wanted something I was very happy with as well as something that people would like," he said.
With three years under his belt teaching at the Firehouse Art Center, this is Swan's first experience with a public art installment. Swan said he is grateful for the chance to be more fully integrated with the community thanks to this project.
Several more PAB projects are currently under way, including the addition of more duck sculptures in public parks, an OU student public art exhibit in Lions Park with Hil's sculpture class, and an upcoming call for artists for artful bicycle racks. Walker said none of these projects would be possible without the ample support of the city of Norman.
Mayor Cindy Rosenthal spoke briefly during the dedication ceremony and said the city supports local arts because the arts both stimulate the local economy as well as provide a positive, enriching aspect to the local quality of life.
She said the city looks forward to working with local arts organizations like the PAB and Norman Arts Council to continue creating public art and arts opportunities.
"We've got big aspirations and the ability to move them from aspirations to reality is going to take some financing. But I think we'll get there," Rosenthal said. "There's just so many opportunities around town in terms of public spaces to put public art, and to celebrate public art, that I think the possibilities are almost unlimited."
Walker said there are several options for making donations to PAB. For one time donations, visit the Norman Arts Council website at www.normanarts.org or call 405-360-1162. Donations can also be added to city utility bills. Contact the city's utility billing department at 405-366-5320 for more information.

Democrats in Congress continue working to create American jobs and restore fiscal accountability and discipline--standing up for small businesses, U.S. taxpayers and building a strong new foundation for the American economy. To create hundreds of thousands of jobs on Main Street, the House passed two bills this week to expand much needed lending to small businesses and offer tax incentives to help small businesses grow, hire, and fuel our economy--which are fully paid for and comply with pay as you go budget law.
Small businesses are the engine of our economy, creating two-thirds of the new jobs over the last 15 years. They continue to face a lack of credit and tight lending standards, with 45% of small businesses seeking loans unable to get their credit needs met in 2009 and lenders reporting three years of tightening loan standards for small firms through this winter.
The House passed the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act (HR 5297) on June 17th by a vote of 241-182 and Small Business Jobs Tax Relief Act (HR 5486) on June 15th by a vote of 247-170 to:
- Leverage up to $300 billion in loans for small businesses through a $30 billion lending fund for small and medium-sized community banks, which focus on lending to small firms, and $2 billion for innovative state lending programs supporting small business. A few public dollars can generate substantial private bank financing; net cost of this lending is $1 billion over 10 years. The lending fund is separate from and unlike TARP it is fully paid for and will save taxpayers $1 billion as banks are expected to repay funds over 10 years; it is limited to smaller banks; and tough performance-based incentives would ensure that banks lend to small businesses.
- Restart private investment to meet small businesses' evolving financing needs through a new SBA public-private partnership.
- Provide $3.5 billion in tax incentives to spur investment in small businesses and the formation of new small businesses, and grant small business tax penalty relief.

More on the provisions:
Small Business Jobs and Credit Act (H.R. 5297 - net cost $2 billion)
- Small Business Lending Fund: Delivers loans to small business on Main Street to push the recovery forward and create jobs through a new $30 billion lending fund for small and medium sized community banks ($10 billion or under) that could leverage up to $300 billion in lending.
- Community banks provide the credit that small businesses need to grow and create jobs in communities across the country and now the financial crisis on Wall Street and the Bush recession have diminished these banks' ability to lend.
- CBO estimates that this provision would actually save taxpayers $1 billion over 10 years, as banks are expected to pay back these funds over 10 years with interest.
- The bill includes tough performance-based incentives to make sure that these banks lend to small business.
- Banks with assets of less than $1 billion would be able to borrow an amount equal 5% of their assets, and banks worth up to $10 billion would be eligible for an investment of up to 3% of their assets.
- The banks would repay the government's loan at a dividend rate starting at 5% with lower interest payments if they expand their small business lending. That rate would drop by 1% for every 2.5% increase in small business lending that the bank shows compared to 2009. A lender could cut its dividend rate to just 1% by increasing small business loan portfolio by 10%.
- But if the bank reduced its small business lending, its repayment dividend would shoot up as high as 7%.
- The program would only be available to banks with assets of less than $10 billion -- ruling out the megabanks that have drawn fire for putting their own interests before their customers.
- State Small Business Credit Initiative: Provides $2 billion in funding for new or existing state lending programs. These programs already exist in around thirty states, and use small amounts of public dollars to generate substantial private bank financing. By supporting existing expertise in states around the country and using an easy to replicate model, this program will be able to quickly increase small business lending and create jobs. This would have a significant bang for the buck supporting over $20 billion in small business lending.
- Small Business Early Stage Investment: Helps promising small business start ups through a public/private partnership designed to channel investment capital to them. How small businesses are financed is evolving. While entrepreneurs have traditionally used assets like real estate to secure loans, we are now seeing more business owners seek financing based on non-tangible strengths -- like their intellectual capital and employees. This proposal recognizes this shift and helps firms access capital to grow and create jobs. This provision has twice passed the House, in the Small Business Financing and Investment Act - H.R. 3854 - and, again, in the Small Business Early Stage Investment Act of 2009 - H.R. 3738, with strong bipartisan support. Estimated cost: $1 billion over 10 years.
Small Business Jobs Tax Relief Act (H.R. 5486)
- Spur Investment in Small Businesses: Increases the capital gains tax cut for those who invest in small businesses this year, like President Obama's budget. The bill would exclude 100% of capital gain income for stock in small businesses purchased from March 15, 2010 to January 1, 2011. Estimated cost: $2.0 billion over 10 years.
- Small Business Penalty Relief: Fixes a tax shelter disclosure penalty (Section 6707A) disproportionately impacting small businesses. Endorsed by the Small Business Council of America, the bill makes penalties for failing to disclose reportable transactions on their taxes proportionate to the underlying tax savings for small businesses.Some businesses were assessed penalties as high as $300,000 for receiving a tax benefit of as little as $15,000. Estimated cost: $176 million over 10 years.
- Increase in deduction for business start-up expenditures: Increases to $20,000 (from $5,000 in current law) the deduction forstart-up expenditures in connection with investigating the creation of a business (but not capital or equipment), and allows more businesses to qualify for the maximum deduction. By allowing entrepreneurs to recover more start-up expenses, small business owners can focus more on hiring new workers and growing their businesses. Estimated cost: $508 million over 10 years.
Fully Paid for/Closing Tax Loopholes ($7.1 billion)
- Crude Tall Oil: Closes a loophole that allows paper mills to claim biofuel tax credit for a byproduct known as 'crude tall oil'-- a waste by-product of paper manufacturing. The bill would limit the tax credit to fuels that are not highly corrosive (i.e., fuels that could be used in a car engine or in a home heating application). Estimated to raise $1.849 billion over 10 years.
- Curtailing a Gift Rule Loophole: Includes the President's 2011 Budget proposal to significantly limit a type of tax planning that allows rich families to pass on wealth while cutting their estate and gift taxes. It requires taxpayers setting up a trust (grantor retained annuity trusts ("GRATs")) totransfer of assets to another individual to avoid gift taxes must include a minimum 10-year term for the annuity. GRATs are a trust with a specific life or term that allows a wealthy person to transfer more money to heirs than they otherwise could under the "$1 million in a lifetime" rule. With the strategy, an asset is placed into a trust by a grantor, who then takes back an annuity, which is made up of the asset value plus a variable interest rate. GRATs work best when the asset appreciates more than the interest rate. Death during the term of the annuity generally eliminates the tax benefit of using a GRAT, as it is taxed to the estate. By calling for a 10 year term, the bill requires that taxpayers take a greater risk that they might die during the GRAT term in order to take advantage of the gift tax benefits of this device. Estimated to raise $5.297 billion over 10 years.

June 27, 2012 — He didn't go to college but he read hundreds, perhaps thousands, of books in his lifetime. He consumed two daily newspapers from cover to cover for much of his adult life.
His vocabulary was so extensive that he found no challenge in crossword puzzles and word games but he often tested his wife and kids by misusing words on purpose.
He traveled from coast to coast several times – free of charge – as a railroad hobo with a purpose – to see the world.
He told me that he once bragged to his pals as he left his small hometown that, when he returned, it would be in a car so large that it couldn't turn around there.
And then, with a twinkle in his blue eyes, he told me that he was right because he rode home in a railroad boxcar.
He never had a course in accounting but his family and neighbors relied on him to prepare their income tax returns.
In a time long before computers and calculators, he could work math problems in his head faster than most folks could do them by hand.
He would not have been allowed to gamble in Las Vegas because he actually could count cards in a game of blackjack.
He was not a leader of men by choice but his co-workers in a railroad union insisted that he be their spokesman.
He could dress like a dandy on occasion but was more comfortable in his bib overalls, railroad cap and work shoes.
He was a patriot who would not tolerate criticism of this country. As the father of two baby sons at the time, he was not eligible for military service in World War II so he went to California and helped build Liberty ships.
His strength of character equipped him to survive horrible withdrawal symptoms as he singlehandedly detoxed himself from a lifetime of alcohol addiction just a few years before his death at age 65.

An arrest warrant was issued for a Chouteau man who allegedly has connections to a Mexican drug cartel.
Martin "Choog" Blossom, 33, is charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance and acquiring proceeds from drug activity, both felonies.
After receiving word Blossom was involved in narcotics trade, the Mayes County Sheriff's Office began surveillance of the suspect. The office partnered with Chouteau Police Department, Oklahoma Highway Patrol and Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics Dangerous Drugs and a search warrant was issued.
According to the affidavit for arrest warrant, MCSO deputy Brett Mull was granted a
warrant in July.
"Upon entering the residence, officers came into contact with multiple subjects in the living room area. Choog and a female were located in the second bedroom," according to the affidavit filed by Mull.
The alleged suspect was escorted out of the residence, to the patrol car. Deputies Alan Davis and Investigator Jason Treat began searching the residence.
The affidavit quoted Blossom as saying his family was not involved in any drug-type activity, only himself. He stated that if there were any drugs located in the house, they would be in the bedroom. "He admitted to having two to three ounces of methamphetamine delivered to the residence by the Mexicans on several occasions. The last few times, he had to travel to Catoosa to pick up the methamphetamine," according
to the affidavit.
The paperwork filed in the case lists items found in the course of the investigation: a fire safe containing $5,650, assorted glass pipes and clear plastic baggies, two blue plastic bowls with assorted pills and crystal-like residue. Officers on the scene also seized a 2001 Jeep Cherokee. Blossom allegedly admitted the vehicle was used in the transportation of drugs and that the money found was drug proceeds.
The warrant for Blossom's arrest was issued Nov. 25, bond on the warrant is $20,000.
In addition, Blossom has three additional outstanding warrants; person under 21 consuming low point beer in public place, driving under the influence of drugs and operating a motor vehicle in
a manner not reasonable and proper.

The 'Truths' Mitt Romney is Willing to Tell
How far will Mitt Romney go to defeat Barack Obama?
The great German filmmaker Werner Herzog has an illuminating formulation to describe his unorthodox way of making documentaries. There is, Herzog says, an "accountant's truth," and there is an "ecstatic truth."
Herzog is all about seeking the latter, as he explained to Slate magazine:
In his own nonfiction films, Herzog wants to tell stories and he doesn't feel beholden to fact. His approach to documentary is an alternative to cinema vérité, the observational aesthetic that proceeds "as if presenting facts was everything." Just because something is factually true, he argues, "it does not constitute truth per se." Herzog likes to respond to and collaborate with his subjects; if he bends fact—by inventing dialogue, for instance—it is to the ends of "truth." The Manhattan phone directory provides millions of correct entries, he says, "but it doesn't inspire you"; in the film, he says it doesn't tell you what Manhattanites dream. Instead of fact, which is the "accountant's truth," he is after the kind of "ecstatic truth" available to poetry: "These moments are rare but I'm trying to find them, which is why I have had different goals from some of my colleagues."
Which "truth" is former Gov. Mitt Romney going to tell about President Barack Obama's administration: the accountant's truth or the ecstatic truth?
[See a collection of political cartoons on Mitt Romney]
Romney telling an accountant's truth would sound something like his interview with radio host Laura Ingraham, wherein President Obama inherited a bad economy that has improved modestly despite, not because of, the efforts of his administration:
The economy always gets better after a recession, there is always a recovery. There's never been a time anywhere in the world where an economy has never recovered. The question is, has it recovered by virtue of something the president's done or has he delayed the recovery and made it more painful?
To stick with the Herzog formulation, Romney is here reciting the political equivalent of the Manhattan phone directory—uninspiring, to say the least.
Former Speaker Newt Gingrich's success, such as it is, lies in his willingness to tell what conservatives would consider the "ecstatic truth": that Obama is a radical un-American to his core; that he is anti-work and pro-dependency.
[See a collection of political cartoons on Newt Gingrich]
Savvy conservatives know very well that telling the accountant's truth about Obama is not going to be enough to defeat him, and they're worried that Romney isn't mean enough to deliver the necessary payload of ecstasy.
I think this fear is misplaced.
If you had asked me a couple months ago, I would've said (actually, I did say) there are places Romney just won't go in order to get himself elected. I no longer believe that. He was posturing all along—trying to remain above the fray for as long as he could. After South Carolina, that became untenable. The Romney campaign's self-described "destruction" of Gingrich in Florida is an indication of how much he means business.
We know this: Romney is wildly ambitious and willing to lie.
Whether enough Americans are going to buy the ecstatic truth from an uncharismatic plutocrat with a strange-seeming religion is an open question. But I have no doubt that Romney will try to sell it.

About the Author

Second of a five-part series
With the help of coaches and evaluators from around the NFL, we present the top 50 players of 2010, today featuring the players ranked 31st through 40th. Players were ranked using the following criteria: performance and value to team. All respondents participated on condition of anonymity.
31. DRE Dwight Freeney / Indianapolis Colts
One of the NFL's most feared pass rushers, Freeney has rare speed off the edge and a patented spin move he uses with devastating effect. He must be accounted for at all times, and he can impact the game even if he doesn't sack the quarterback.
32. DT Ndamukong Suh / Detroit Lions
The athletic, instinctive Suh already has established himself as one of the most disruptive interior linemen in the game. He notched 10 sacks as a rookie, most among defensive tackles. He plays with intensity and toughness, and he figures to be very, very difficult to block for many, many years. The Lions can move this three-technique around the line, making him even more difficult to handle.
33. ILB Patrick Willis / San Francisco 49ers
On balance, this wasn't Willis' best season — and he still notched 128 tackles and a half-dozen sacks. There aren't many playmaking middle linebackers in the league. Here is one of them. He's the key to the 49ers' defense.
34. RB Michael Turner / Atlanta Falcons
Turner makes this list for his exploits as the focal point of his team's ground game. The Falcons have one of the NFL's most old-school, physical offenses, and Turner, who rushed for 1,371 yards and 12 TDs, is the hammer.
35. WR Greg Jennings / Green Bay Packers
A very deserving first-time Pro Bowl selection, Jennings became the Packers' primary passing weapon after TE Jermichael Finley was lost for the season in Week Five. A constant matchup problem because of his deceptive speed — he never tips his routes — and the fact that he can effectively line up at any one of Green Bay's five wideout slots, Jennings finished the season tied for second in the league with 12 TD catches and was fourth with 1,265 receiving yards.
36. CB NNamdi Asomugha / Oakland Raiders
Slated to be an unrestricted free agent, Asomugha, who turns 30 in July, is going to become a very, very wealthy man, whether it's back in Oakland or with a new club eager to have him lock down one side of the field. Asomugha didn't have an interception in 2010, but teams simply don't test him often. He's a blue-chip player.
37. RB Ray Rice / Baltimore Ravens
Rice, who racked up 1,776 combined rushing-receiving yards in 2010, can take an ordinary check-down pass and turn it into a thing of beauty. He can take a handoff, shed tacklers and leave them grasping at air in his wake. When the Ravens need a play, they turn to Rice.
38. CB Tramon Williams / Green Bay Packers
A case could be made right now for Williams being the top big-play corner in the league. In his first year as a full-time starter, he outperformed teammate Charles Woodson, ranking No. 1 in the league with nine interceptions (including playoffs). His playmaking instincts have been uncanny down the stretch and in the postseason.
39. CB Charles Woodson / Green Bay Packers
Woodson remains a Pro Bowl-caliber cornerback with tremendous versatility and is one of the biggest keys in Dom Capers' unpredictable, multilook defense. Able to line up outside against an opposing team's best wide receiver or in the slot, a position from which he often blitzes, Woodson has amazing toughness and can do it all. There isn't a better cornerback in the league in terms of tackling and run support.
40. QB Jay Cutler / Chicago Bears
Cutler can be maddeningly inconsistent, but he is unmistakably one of Chicago's most valuable players. However, his season came to a very disappointing end after being knocked out of the NFC title game with a knee injury.
The following PFW editors contributed to this story: Arthur Arkush, Dan Arkush, Michael Blunda, Eric Edholm, Kevin Fishbain, Mike Holbrook, Eli Kaberon, Alex Mayster and Dan Parr.

If you haven't gotten your flu shot, it's not too late. Flu is still active throughout Louisiana. Flu symptoms accounted for six percent of the state's doctor visits last week. The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals wants to help protect you and your family from the flu. DHH is offering flu vaccinations to everyone Tuesday, March 29, 2011 at the Jefferson Davis and Cameron Parish Health Units from 9 a.m.-2 p.m.
Cameron Parish Health Unit
Jefferson Davis Parish Health Unit
A flat fee of $10 will be charged for patients who fall into a fee-paying category, but services will not be denied due to inability to pay. Medicaid or Medicare participants must bring their insurance card to cover the cost. Parents are also asked to bring their child's vaccination records.
This year, the CDC recommends everyone older than 6 months get the flu vaccine. This year's flu vaccine will protect against both the seasonal flu and the H1N1 virus. Medical studies show getting the flu vaccine has proven to be very safe and effective in preventing people from catching the flu.
While everyone should get a flu vaccine, vaccination is especially critical for certain groups of people who are at a higher risk of developing flu-related complications. Those groups include:
"Vaccination is also important for health care workers and other people who live with or care for high-risk individuals to keep from spreading flu to people who may be especially susceptible to the virus' effects. This includes anyone who works with babies younger than 6 months of age, who are not eligible for the vaccine themselves," said Dr. Frank Welch, DHH Immunization Medical Director. "This year's vaccine is plentiful and available at many places, including health care providers, pharmacies, some employers and Louisiana's parish health units."
In addition to getting the vaccine, DHH encourages the public to take other preventive actions to stop the spread of the flu:

Chrysler Concorde Electrical Issues
bluelisa Posts: 1Help, My 2001 chrysler concorde gas gauge flashes empty to full, empty to full as I am driving. Sent it to the shop, and they could not reproduce it, Then the car started to jerk, it cost me 500$ for some kind of "timing device" and the car still flashes empty full while I am driving with a full tank... HELP can't afford more repairs, but want to know, is this safe? Can I fix this myself with some sort of fuse? Desperately seeking answers
I have a second hand 96 Concorde LXi - bought 3.5 years ago from retired couple at 46 000 km, right now it has 78 000 km - mechanically sound but electrically rather a lemon.
To make the story not too long - right now the overhead console temperature display behaves not very well. Most of the time it takes about 10 min. of driving before it "catches up" to the outside temperature. But some time it's even more weird - today in the underground garage it was showing 17 C, almost immediately after leaving garage jumped to 20 C though I felt that it still was NOT right (it felt more like around 25 C). Than after about another 10 min. of driving it jumped to 24 C (which is about right). The Automatic Temperature Control was OFF all the time.
I have observed this strange behavior for about 6 past months. What worries me most is that ATS sensor also probably "talks" to the main computer (via Body Control Module, BCM) that controls A/C and once A/C gets turned on the things may really get out of hand.
Any clues what causes the problem ? Is it the ATM or BCM ? I have replaced the main computer (Power Control Module) about 3 years ago.
I am having gremlins as well on my 1998 concorde. Three months ago my lights would not go off exterior and interior, ran the battery down. Recharged it..then my door locks pop up and down the entire time motor is running. Now battery light comes on and dings. I have no idea whats up. I am changing battery today. Any thoughts?
r2d8 Posts: 2I finally traded my 1998 Chrysler Concorde in on another vehicle. All the gauges began to mal function, I had no reading on temp, speedometer, odometer, gas, or RPM. I tried to get the problem fixed but the problem could not be found without putting the car in the shop for several days so the tech could try to locate the problem, which, as you know, could amount to several hundreds of dollars, and I was told there was no guarantee they could find the problem.
In the odometer window the code noBus was visible. I was told all that meant was there was a loose connection between the two computers. Grimlins? you bet because when the gauges were working the check engine light would stay on, when they were not working, all the dash lights would be on as well.
I dumped that grimlin infested car for good.
saxsnowman Posts: 2I am having the sane problem as a couple others...I have a 2002 Concorde & the airbag light comes on sometimes, when it does the turn signals don't work, the windows won't roll up or down & the heater blower won't run. I haven't read anyone that actually posted a fix for this. I can move or wiggle the key & it stops for a while, but returns unexpectidly. I replaced the ignition tumbler & that didn't fix it!
Anyone ever fix this problem?????
Please someone HELP?
This is driving me nuts!
thanx - Bob
I have a '99 Concorde LXi I bought new. It now has only 54,000 miles on it. About a month ago the engine stalled. Restarted and stalled again. Towed to local garage. Diagnosed as Crankshaft Positoning Sensor and replaced. 5 days later it stalled again. Local garage couldn't solve problem. Hat it towed to a dealer. It has been there for 2 weeks. They say a short is causing the ASD Relay to trip which can cause the engine to stall. They opened the wiring harness but said the short was not pulling enough ohms to cause the relay to trip. A couple of days age they mentioned a 'Intake Plenum', whatever that is. I am pulling my hair.
Hal, did what Ken said work?
I have a 98 Concorde, my ABS light came on Monday, with that my windows became stuck in the up position, turn signals won't work and my AC/heat won't come on. It's well in the 90's here and this is my only vehicle. It takes me 7 minutes to get to work and I feel like I'm going to pass out everyday while on my way in since the internal temp is so high. I've been walking everywhere else. I've heard it could also be the fuse board, whatever that is. Please answer, thanks
pheonixjwt1 Posts: 1the problem, for a few weeks I was having my car not turn over when I would turn the ignition but when that would happen I would just turn the key over and over and after a few turns it would start but this was intermittent.
Recently I was driving and had the ABS light TRAK OFF light and sortly after the battery light came on also and I noticed that when to much power was being drawn it was having an affect on the other electrical stuff. the dash lights flicked and the radio would turn off and on the computer display by the rear view mirror would light up like at car starts and then turn to its display and this would happen about the same time as the radio would I later just turned off the radio.
I removed the alternator and had it checked and was told it was good, battery tested out good also.
was told that the problem could be my alternator relay because it is not located on my alternator or maybe my ECU
jumped car to move car then jumped car again and drive to town, no change same as before. but also had car try and have power cut out on me twice, then a few miles later power cut out. battery acted dead anuff that it didn't want to charge or I just did not give it time anuff for it to charge. car now has all lights in dash light up and flicker then go normal after after a few seconds, when key is turned lights flicker off will not start also.
would appreciate any help anyone can give,
cgreenfi Posts: 1I recently started having the same issue with my '01 Concorde, but it only happens when the car's sitting out in the heat for a very long time (6-9 hrs). Airbag light goes on, directionals won't work, windows won't roll up or down, and the AC blower won't run! Impossible to drive when it's 95 outside and about 120 in the car! Normally, I can drive about 15 feet, turn key to off, restart and it will then work. Some days it takes a few tries, but today, after about 15 minutes of driving in the parking lot, I gave up. Luckily I left each window down about an inch, so I survived. Drove about 10 miles, when I came to a red light, I turned the car off and back on, and it worked! Wasn't happening when I got oil change, so mechanic couldn't check it out! Hoping to replace this car soon (157k miles), but not today! Any ideas other than waiting for a cool front?
What the problem for me ended up being was the ignition switch. Initially my brother went to the junk yard and found a car like mine and changed the part where the key goes in to start the car. (making me need a key for my doors, another to start) It seemed to work but only for a short time. I finally took it to Midas and it was the actual switch, which had that been done first I wouldn't have needed the extra key. Weird, something like that would disable windows and ac. That car caught fire, (diff issue) and I now have a new one
We are having the same problem with our 98'concorde. Anything and everything that could be replaced on this car, has been replaced. Now recently.. The battery light came on, then went off, and now is back on. As my husband was driving down the hi-way, the darn thing dropped down 3 gears and shut off on him.I know this dumb car has electrical problems, but we are really hoping it is just the alternator. We have a extra battery inside for back up. been having starting problems for a while now. It would run great, then you stop and turn off car and then nothing. wont start. so sick of this car.. :mad: never again will I buy a chrysler!!! So many problems all the time, and this is just to name one of the MANY problems we have had with this car since day one.. husband got so fed up, he went out and bought a new car that day...

New Castle News
When you look into the past, what do you miss the most?
For a bunch of my co-workers, who are still floating around on cloud nine from last week's concert, the answer would probably be New Kids on the Block.
I missed that whole boy-band era. I think I was in college at the time, either diligently studying or trying to "find myself" with the likes of Nirvana and Sonic Youth. (Grunge metal and flannel shirts — a heck of a great time for music. Not so much for fashion.)
I can think of a ton of stuff I miss about the past — a healthier body, a less complicated mind, the innocence and ambition of youth, gummy bracelets.
But like most people, what I think I miss the most is the world we used to live in. Things seemed so different then than they do now. And I'm not talking about the world being a different place, where girls were more interested in boy bands than street drugs, and the Internet wasn't our roadmap to the world.
I'm talking about how much EASIER things seemed then, and not just because I was younger. I don't remember having to take out a loan to buy a tank of gas, or work two jobs just to pay the bills. I remember people disliking whatever president was in office, but not enough to divide the country into such distinct factions, where the mere mention of support for our country's leader could possibly lead to a violent altercation.
I remember thinking that I would have to work a lot of hours to pay my way through college, but not that I would someday live in a world where college seems like a fantasy for my own children.
When did life get so rough? Why do so many of us seem to be living life as if we're just struggling to get through?
At the risk of being called a conspiracy theorist, I'll be the first to tell you that I firmly believe our second Civil War is imminent. We're stockpiling guns and food, and making our lines of distinction very, very clear. I shudder to think of where we're heading.
But could it be that we simply want too much because there's so much available? Let's face it, we complain about the price of milk and diapers — and we jump on our smart phones with our unlimited plans to tell our friends of our discord, and fire up one of our three computers to see where we could buy things a little cheaper.
Our children have no less than a half-dozen different gaming systems, and we drive cars that cost as much as our homes. We think nothing of shelling out $10.50 for a movie ticket or $40 for a manicure ... and one for our 5-year-old daughter.
I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. But instead of coughing up a couple hundred dollars for another gun, maybe we should stop to think about what it is we're really fighting for. Yes, times ARE tough, but our priorities aren't really in a great place either.
I guess that's what I miss the most when I look into the past — all of us, not lying to ourselves about who we are and what really brings us happiness. I want it to be like that again.
"Life should come with remote controls. Then I just rewind it to the time it was better." — Backstreet Boys

Educating Digital Lawyers: Prof. Goodenough Op-Ed in Huffington Post
January 17, 2012
In a recent op-ed titled "Educating Digital Lawyers" in The Huffington Post, Vermont Law School Professor Oliver Goodenough discussed how law schools may adapt to the changing needs of the legal profession.
"The information, communication and processing innovations that we bundle under the 'digital' label are, like cheap printing before it, creating a wealth of new possibilities for how we can define, deliver and teach that set of rules and enforcement mechanisms we call law," Goodenough wrote. "While specific prediction about what the new world will look like is hard, the general prediction that we are entering into a period of extensive change seems trivially obvious. What is less obvious is whether the members of the AALS will lead the charge or get dragged, moaning and pontificating, into a new age of legal education. As workers across many fields of our evolving economy know, restructuring is painful. Creative destruction often comes at the expense of those most competent in the old system."

Online Shoppers are Greener Than Mall Rats
Shopping online has a smaller footprint than going to a mall, according to a Carnegie Mellon University study.
Prefer to shop from the comfort of your couch or home office? Turns out, you're doing the environment a favor. A recent study from Carnegie Mellon University has found that shopping online - especially from a retailer that ships products directly from wholesalers, rather than collecting and sorting items at a warehouse - can cut out 35 percent of the CO2 produced by an average trip to the mall.
Much of the CO2 that results from purchasing an item comes from a consumer's trip to the mall. Researchers compared an online and mall purchase of a flash drive - calculating the drive's emissions from manufacturer to final destination in the consumer's home - and learned that online retail is more efficient in pretty much any scenario, even when the item is being air shipped overnight (but barely - it's basically a draw). Both e-commerce and traditional shopping were evaluated for the energy used by computers, customer transport, product transport, retail stores, warehouses, and packaging.
The company that CMU used as its example, Buy.com, has an especially efficient model. Buy.com eliminates the processing warehouse that many other online retailers like Amazon use, and instead ships products directly from the distribution partners, cutting out the energy used in sorting, processing, and repackaging in warehouses. Online shopping uses the most energy in last mile delivery (meaning the UPS truck) but the researchers found that delivery still used less energy per package than a typical trip to the mall.
If you live close enough to take public transportation to a mall (or even walk), you're better off doing that. Auto emissions from trips to shopping centers make up such a large portion of the traditional retailers' share of CO2 that, if eliminated, you'd consume less energy than you would shopping online. But if you live more than a couple of miles away from a mall, you're better off curling up on the couch with a laptop and clicking away.

While not the disaster you may have been led to believe, neither is "The Beaver" a success. It sits somewhere in the middle, unsure of itself as to which style of story to commit. Ultimately, where it ends up is in the field of "noble curiosity," based in no small part on the spectacularly public, ill-timed flameout of its star.

The kettlebell revolution is in full swing and if you don't know what a kettlebell is, then it's time that you found out. A kettlebell is a weight that's shaped like a cannonball with a handle attached to it. Originally from Russia, it's now a popular tool which is used all over the world to become stronger, fitter and leaner. What makes kettlebells so special? Well, the biggest difference between a kettlebell and a standard weight is that a kettlebell's weight is off center, and this makes your core and grip work a lot harder. And for fat-burning purposes, even a 20-minute kettlebell workout can be sufficient.
It gets even better if you train at home. Little space is needed when training and kettlebells can be easily stored under your bed or in a corner. Plus, you don't have to spend time changing the weights as the kettlebell is a set weight. All you have to do is select the kettlebell of your choice and get started.
To begin kettlebell training, start with some basic moves using these kettlebell tips for beginners.
Basic Kettlebell Exercises
- Swings
- Cleans
- Overhead Presses
- Front Squats
- Rows
- Windmills
- Snatches
Once you have mastered these moves, you can move on to more advanced exercises like lunges, hand to hand swings, Turkish get ups, etc. Beginners are prone to accidentally hitting themselves with the kettlebell when performing swings or cleans. To avoid bumps or bruises, make sure you practice good form. Stay in control of the kettlebell as you swing.
Like all forms of training, even with kettlebells, if you lift the same weight for the same number of reps, you will eventually plateau. You must move on to heavier kettlebells in order to increase your overall strength and lean muscle mass.
Are you ready to take on kettlebell training? If you have been training with traditional weights, running, or completing body-weight exercises, then gradually start with kettlebell swings. Do about 2 to 3 sets of 10 reps at the end of your normal workouts. Once you are good with kettlebell swings, keep adding one exercise from the basic kettlebell exercises list.
Or, if you want to do a complete kettlebell program, try the following:
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday
- One arm swings: 2 sets of 10 to15 reps
- One arm clean and press: 3 to 5 sets of 3 to 5 reps
- One arm bent over rows: 2 sets of 6 to 8 reps
- One arm front squats: 2 sets of 8 to 10 reps
After two weeks, add another set to all the exercises. OK, enough talk for now, it's time to go and try this ancient Russian workout for great results. Dasvidaniya!
