Meanwhile, in Chapel Hill, N.C., the entire university is complicit in a systemic charade of bogus, no-show classes for athletes; a scheme that—you're gonna love this part—the NCAA missed while investigating North Carolina over the past two years. Fortunately, the man with the Big Stick has the Raleigh News & Observer doing the heavy lifting, exposing the real threat to the foundation of intercollegiate athletic sports. Or as my athletic director friend said, "Pandora's Box." From 2007-2011, an internal review at UNC revealed 54 no-show classes in the Department of African and Afro American Studies where student-athletes were given grades for fake classes. The university says two department heads were responsible for the academic fraud, but the News & Observer says evidence suggests athletes were steered to classes by academic counselors assigned to the athletic department. Think about that: the athletic department and a department of academics conspiring to keep students eligible so they can play games. This isn't high school, everyone. This is one of the most respected academic institutions in the world cheating to keep athletes eligible.Matt Hayes/Sporting News

Happy Birthday! Hope you have a good day!
Hey, Add meh again...This is my new form..S/C Tahoe.
Long time no see. =)
no i bought it from 4wd.com it was my gear shifter in my jeep and just put it in there
Lol, Bipolar? Why would you mess with someone like that? (no offense)
Happy its the weekend?
Well to start out the day I was cutting some small sheet metal pieces on a big table with the plasma cutter. Then I pulled up the piece and someones project was under it and had a big score mark on it now... So I thought for a second and made a new one just like the old one. When I went to tell the person that I did that, but made a new one. He flipped...
I would have swore that his whole life was embedded in that piece. I remained controlled unlike the other individual who was throwing a fit like normal. I wish that I wouldn't have messed the bipolar kids project, but alas I did.
Other than that it was small little **** that made it ****ty...
Im sorry, What happened?
Hey Thanks for the comments on the Tahoe.

That is a very poorly written paragraph. Jesus. I had to read it four times just to understand where he was going with it. Do you have a link to the full transcript or is that all there is to it?
Anyway, there are so many variables to UZR that the Law of Large Numbers applies even more than most statistics. When you're splitting the field into 80 (or whatever) zones, factoring out homers, line drives, infield flies, etc., then also factoring in pitcher GB rate, pitch speed, and a myriad of other factors, you're going to need a really large sample size for the metric to work.
Sheesh. Doesn't sound like bashing to me.
BTW...I'm curious...was Danny Valencia 6 runs better than the average AL third baseman over that sample size, or was he not? Or don't we know? Isn't that the crux of the issue?
Seems to me if you believe in UZR, you're obligated to believe, at least for that period of time, that Valencia was an above average third baseman.
Otherwise, we're back to "well no, but add 1+1=3 enough times...".
UZR tries to record a player's likely true talent and estimate his future performance based on the nuances of the batted ball and the player's response to those nuances. It is not trying to capture exactly what happens on the field according to some arbitrary categories, like most of the offensive metrics (which make no distinction between a lucky ground ball bleeder through the "5-hole" or a clean, line drive base hit to the outfield), even the advanced ones like wOBA or linear weights.
Sorry it is not a black and white number for you.
The analogy with BA is, just because a player had a .334 BA does not mean that he hit the ball well. It is entirely possible the only reason that he hit .334 was because he got a lot of bloops and bleeders and most of his hard hit balls dropped for a hit. But, because we can verify that a player did indeed hit .334, we say that a player's BA is a good record of what actually happened.
So he's not saying that he didn't play good defense, he's simply saying that the fielder was not challenged. It's akin to Joe Mauer getting to face AAAA pitchers for the entirety of September. Did he hit .450? Sure. Is that representative of how well he batted? Absolutely not.
But then I'd probably tell you that it was Jamey Carroll and you'd laugh me out of the room.
The door should have stopped with Hardy. The day we picked him up nearly rivaled the stadium deal as one of my most exciting off-season days as a fan. I had spent several rediculously jealous years watching Hardy in Milwaukee. Stupid to let him go IMO. Few teams win without a solid SS, as Versalles and Gagne proved. Hopefully another will come along.
2. I would say if Joe Mauer hit .450 for a month that is EXACTLY representative of what his BA was. EXACTLY. Now you can parse the numbers, or the situation, and say he won't keep that up, because... . And you'd be right. But factually, he hit .450. Combine that with the next exactly accurate small sample of his BA, and the next, and the next, and you get an exactly accurate representation of what Joe Mauer hit, for any sample size you choose to construct.
So we're back the question, was, or was not, Danny Valencia better than average for that period of time as a third baseman? And if not, why should we trust the next small sample size? or the next? And why should we believe that adding together innacurate small samples leads to an accurate large sample?
Is a Joe Mauer batting average against AAAA pitchers in September indicative of his talents against an ace?
Is what any September call up does 100% reliable for predicting future batting average? Brian Dinkleman batted .305 in 2011. Batting averages in spring training. By spring training numbers, Sean Burrows should have been a star.Small sample sizes. Look at the at bats versus the top line pitchers they faced would give a better indication of the talent. The talent is better assessed when you have more data. That is very basic, first concept, simple concept of statistics.
2. And I can list you fielding percentages. It doesn't tell you much of anything on its own. Yes, those fielding percentages "happened". It doesn't mean they're of much use to anyone. At the end of the day, looking at batting average is going to tell you just that, batting average. Which, on its own, is of limited use. UZR is attempting to do much more than that. It's trying to factor in dozens of things and give an accurate representation of what the fielder does in the field. Unfortunately, all those variables mean that you need A LOT of opportunities to draw any sort of meaningful conclusion... Again, we're back to the Law of Large Numbers.
Was Danny Valencia better than average defensively over that period of time? I have no idea, just like you'd have no idea if he faced scrub pitching to attain that .311 batting average. In the end, what do you prefer? A flawed metric that tries to take into account all possibilities faced by a player or a boolean metric that tells you only a fraction of the story? Me, I'll take the flawed metric that tries to explain the entire situation.
What we don't know is if "by the numbers" = "actually played well."
The talent is better assessed when you have more data. That is very basic, first concept, simple concept of statistics.
I think the very basic, first concept, simple concept of statistics is, "garbage in, garbage out."

Ricky Carmichael's Martinsville Rain Parade
After stopping the clocks with a qualifying time of 20.710 at 91.434 miles per hour, Ricky Carmichael was slotted in at spot number 29 on the starting grid for the Kroger 250. A 250-lap, 131.5-mile race on the 0.526-mile oval known as Martinsville Speedway, the paperclip shaped track marked not only marked the fourth race of rookie Ricky Carmichael's still very young NASCAR, but also his first on an elite short track. Today's race was scheduled to go green at 2:00 P.M. (EST), however the rain gods were did cooperate in dreary Virginia, a steady light rain soaking the track and keeping Carmichael seated inside his #4 Oakley/KHI All-Stars Chevrolet Silverado. With all kinds of crazy colors showing precipitation in various forms all over the local weather radar screen, at Noon, NASCAR decided to call the race. The Kroger 250 has now been postponed to 12 Noon (EST) on Monday, March 30, 2009.

Many of our Highland Park, South Pasadena, Altadena, Arcadia, Sierra Madre and San Marino readers live, work and play in Pasadena, and so they often ask us: Why isn't there a Pasadena Patch?
Good question! While the city is bigger than most Patch locations, we think the Pasadena community needs its own news, business and information platform. We will launch a Pasadena Patch on Sept. 27, adding to our nationwide network of 870 towns.
Pasadena already has established media outlets, including the Pasadena Star-News, the Pasadena Weekly and the L.A. Times' new venture, the Pasadena Sun. We know there is a lot of news coverage coming from those sources already.
That's why we want to have a unique focus that is a little different from those sources: We want to be your place for Pasadena arts, culture and food as well as community events that are sometimes overlooked within the city. We'll be starting by focusing on those topics, while providing links to other media coverage of crime, city hall and other important news topics in the city.
A team of editors will run the site, and you will see contributions from our reporters in South Pasadena, Altadena, Arcadia, Montrose and Monrovia. The whole team can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. News tips or questions could also be sent directly to Assistant Regional Editors Dan Abendschein (email@example.com) and Redmond Carolipio (email@example.com).
Pasadena Patch will be a place where you can connect with your neighbors to discuss the things that are most important to you and share them with others by posting your own events, announcements, photos and videos. We want the site to be a place for people to keep track of what's going on in the Crown City.

LOGANSPORT — Chilly temperatures didn't stop a crowd from gathering Monday morning on the sidewalks along Broadway and Fourth Street.
Bundled up, spectators waved and cheered to honor veterans as they passed by during the Cass County Veterans Day Parade that began at the County Government Building and ended at City Hill.
Many people gathered at both buildings to hear local veterans speak before a 21-gun salute, the playing of taps and then the national anthem by Pioneer, Logansport and Lewis Cass high school bands.
County Commissioner Jim Sailors told the crowd he wanted to talk about tomorrow — "a word often taken for granted."
"[Tomorrow] is something we look forward to," Sailors said. "We will continue to fight for a better tomorrow."
Superior Court Judge Thomas Perrone also spoke to the crowd.
"We have the opportunity and responsibility to give thanks to those who put on a uniform and serve our country," Perone said. "We need to honor and respect them. To honor and respect today means to say thank you."
Led by Grand Marshal Charles Burks, the parade included the Cass County Honor Guard, Color Guard, members of VFW Post 3790, American Legion Post 418, American Legion Post 60 and many more. Several students from All Saints carried flags and walked in the parade.
Many people who attended the parade had personal reasons for wanting to celebrate Veterans Day.
John Davis has been attending the Veterans Day events for 12 years. Davis, who spent six years in the U.S. Army, said there was a good turnout for this year's ceremony.
"We need to remember all our veterans," Davis said.
Leda Ulery, of Logansport, watched the parade as it moved along Broadway. Ulery said she has attended the Veterans Day celebrations for several years.
"My father was a Vietnam veteran," Ulery said. "I wanted to come to honor him."
All people who attended had the common goal of honoring veterans.
Two friends attended the Veterans Day celebrations together. Monty Nason and Janet Woodworth both said they caught their breath when the American flag was raised.
"We wanted to come because it's Veterans Day and [veterans] deserved to be honored," Woodworth said.
Nason agreed.
"All the people who have fought for us deserve that," Nason said. "We want to honor them."
When the parade ended in front of the city building, Mayor Ted Franklin spoke to those attending.
"The constant theme today is to remember every day is Veterans Day," Franklin said.
Franklin asked people to keep our veterans in their thoughts and prayers.
"God bless our veterans, God bless their families and God bless America," Franklin said.
Superior Court Judge Rick Maughmer spoke in front of the city building. He spoke of veterans who are willing to put their lives on hold to serve their country and willing to sacrifice the gift of life.
"A common bond veterans have is the willingness to die for their country," Maughmer said. "... without freedom, life loses much of its meaning."
After the celebration at the city building, the Lewis Cass Marching Kings performed in downtown. The band has been performing on Veterans Day for 45 years, said band director Don Krug.
One of the songs played by the band this year was called "Going Home," which was made popular during World War I, Krug said.
"It can be related to today," Krug said. "We all need to be reminded how important it is to honor veterans."

A familiar concert series has changed names, but not the quality of its music.
The newly minted Johnstown Concert Series will build on the tradition of the Chamber Music Series of Greater Johnstown.
"The name change was a deliberate decision," said Laura Williamson, a new board member.
"We want to better reflect the variety of programming we have. Originally, we wanted to bring chamber music to the community, but now our music is more varied to attract a larger audience. We have a mix of classical, jazz and choral. That's the diversity of our programming."
A relative newcomer to the area who previously lived in larger cities, Williamson said she has been blown away by the quality of music making by performers in the series.
Johnstown Concert Series will present its 2013-2014 season at First Presbyterian Church, 309 Lincoln St., downtown Johnstown.
The series is offered through the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies.
All concerts will be presented at 7:30 p.m.
The season will open Sept. 28 with the Remarkable Reeds of Renaissance City Winds.
The trio will feature R. James Whipple on bassoon, Renate Sakins on oboe and Jack Howell on clarinet.
This concert will be performed by members of one of Pennsylvania's foremost chamber ensembles, founded in 1975.
Originally a woodwind quintet, the ensemble expanded into the Renaissance City Winds in 1988.
"They're one of the touring groups of Renaissance City Winds and designed for smaller spaces," Williamson said.
Concert pianist Jacob Ertl, known for his fiery and nuanced interpretations, will perform Oct. 12.
He was chosen by the board because he was recently appointed assistant professor of piano at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
Ertl has performed across the United States as well as in Europe, Israel, Canada and Mexico and has received critical acclaim for his passion and poise on the stage.
He gave numerous recitals in Milwaukee, Wis., as the artist-in-residence for the PianoArts organization and because of this background with young audiences, he will do a master class with Johnstown piano students from 1 to 3 p.m. at the church before his concert.
Any piano students interested in attending can contact Williamson at 410-6144.
"He's obviously a fine pianist," said Williamson, who has a Ph.D. in piano performance and teaches piano.
"Samples of his performances on his website were excellent. He likes to talk to the audience about the music he's playing."
Organist Ann Labounsky, known in the United States and Europe as a virtuoso performer and improviser at the organ, will perform Nov. 23.
She is professor of music and chair of organ and sacred music at Duquesne University and dean of the Pittsburgh Chapter American Guild of Organists.
"It will be fabulous to hear her with the church's acoustics," Williamson said.
The choral ensemble Essence of Joy from Penn State will perform Feb. 28.
The group is a department of music choral ensemble performing sacred and secular music from African and African-American traditions.
It is under the direction of Anthony T. Leach.
This will be the only concert that is held on Friday instead of Saturday.
"It has to do with their touring commitments," Williamson said.
Tradition will continue April 12 when the Pittsburgh Concert Society Winners perform.
They are Sage Po, harpist, and Sean Kennard, pianist.
Po is continuing her studies at Carnegie Mellon University, and Kennard has earned his master of music from The Juilliard School.
The season will close May 24 with Billy Test and Friends.
His music shows strong influences of classical music while displaying roots in the history of jazz.
Test is interested in performing both genres and finding out how the two can coexist.
"I haven't heard him, but other board members have and say he is stunning," Williamson said.

JCAHO Statement
Memorial Hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). Accreditation means that Memorial Hospital has demonstrated compliance with national standards for patient safety and quality of care.
Memorial Hospital is genuinely concerned about performance improvement and patient safety. In response, the Board of Trustees and Administration have made the decision to invite the JCAHO to conduct a full survey of the Hospital.
Philosophically, Memorial Hospital views survey not as a one-time "inspection" of compliance with standards but rather a continual learning experience. We welcome the opportunity to have the quality and safety of care for our patients validated. If you have a concern about patient care or safety please let our management know by calling 574-647-7976 or writing to us at Patient Relations, 615 N Michigan Street, South Bend, Indiana 46601. We would like to address concerns as soon as possible.
Any recommendations for improvement or consultative advice are taken seriously. Proactive steps are initiated in concert with management, staff, and the medical staff under full view of the Board of Trustees.
If you feel we have not addressed your concerns on patient care and safety, you are invited to address those concerns to the JCAHO by visiting their web site at http://www.jcaho.org or calling (630) 792-5636.

Since everyone's taste is a little bit different, we encourage patrons to let us know what film genres they enjoy most and make suggestions accordingly.

Weatherford Democrat
Authorities are working to identify what appear to be human skeletal remains found in a heavily wooded area south of Weatherford last week.
A Willow Park man walking the leased property in the 1100 block of Old Airport Road called the Parker County Sheriff's Office around 2 p.m. Nov. 13 after he located the remains in a heavily wooded area near the back of the property.
Crime scene investigators with the sheriff's office, as well as a forensic anthropologist with the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office, responded to the scene and "collected everything of an evidentiary nature."
Although the remains appear to be human, the official determination is pending laboratory results performed by the medical examiner's office, Sheriff Larry Fowler stated in a press release.
That process could take weeks or months, Deputy Danie Huffman said.
Though the Parker County Sheriff's Office couldn't say Monday if there was any connection, a man reported missing from his residence in the area earlier this year has not been located.
The family of 58-year-old Warren L. Tankersley Jr. reported the man missing May 5.
Tankersley's brother told deputies that he had been missing since around March 15.
Tankersley, a metal scrapper, was somewhat of a loner and had been known to go away for a couple days at a time without telling anyone but had never done so for that long, the sheriff's office reported at the time.
Tankersley's vehicle and personal items were found at his residence in the 1400 block of Old Airport Road. No foul play was apparent.
The sheriff's office spent several months looking for him, including a K-9 search in the area. However, as of several months ago, the sheriff's office did not have any leads, Huffman said.

Criminal Justice
Accused Movie Theater Shooter's Arraignment Delayed by Judge
Posted Jan 11, 2013 4:45 PM CDT
By Mark Hansen
A judge on Friday postponed the arraignment of accused Colorado movie theater shooting suspect James Holmes until March 12.
The judge said that while he empathized with the victims' desire for closure, he agreed that the defense needed more time to examine the mountain of evidence prosecutors have amassed against Holmes, according to multiple reports.
The move angered several survivors and relatives of the victims, at least four of whom stormed out of the courtroom when the ruling was announced, NBC News reports. "Rot in hell, Holmes!" yelled Steve Hernandez, the father of Rebecca Wingo, who was killed in the shooting. Others could be heard crying in the courtroom, muttering under their breaths or cursing in the corridor outside.
Holmes is charged with the murder of 12 people and the wounding of nearly 60 others during a shooting rampage at the midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises last July in the Denver suburb of Aurora, Colo.
Arapahoe County District Judge William Sylvester had ruled at the conclusion of a three-day preliminary hearing Thursday that there was enough evidence for Holmes to stand trial on 166 counts of murder, attempted murder and other crimes.
At Friday's hearing, Tamara Brady, one of Holmes' lawyers, said the defense needed more time to examine the evidence in the case, which prosecutors say includes more than 30,000 pages of discovery, 358 computer discs, 220 DVDs and 136 CDs, USA Today reported.
Sylvester reluctantly agreed to the request over the objections of prosecutors, who said that 84 victims or their survivors opposed any delay in the proceedings.
Hernandez apologized to the judge after his outburst, saying he meant no disrespect to the court.
"I am terribly sorry for your loss, and I can only begin to imagine the emotions that are raging," Sylvester responded, according to NBCNews.com and the New York Times.

the cloth used is of good quality, quite heavy for linen. I ordered size 36 but they were far to tight. had to reorder size 38. all my other trousers are 36 so I would advise others to order a size above.

Product is fine- now.
Service and delivery comments:
The original pants were marked with two different sizes, and the actual size was the smaller, which didn't fit. I notified JA Bank customer service, returned the wrong-fitting pants while they promptly shipped the correct ones. Exchange was no problem.
Great value, style
By Burr

A clearance item, these pants are somewhat baggier and free-flowing in the thighs and calves, but they fit well enough in the hips and inseam and are perfect for a summer's day on the golf course or for casual wear.
Finally a REAL technological innovation
By Dave
from Evansville, IN
These pants are the most wrinkle free linen I've been able to find, all the relaxed comfort without all the wrinkles that drive my wife crazy. I have several pairs of these, and you DO need to remember these are cut a bit narrow in the waist, I need to order an inch larger than usual. Length generally has been true to size.
The usual quick and efficient Jos.A.Bank online shopping efficiency.

Linen that holds up in high humidity!
By S. Harris
from New York City
Great for work or casual. Holds up nicely in very humid and soggy summer weather. Linen is a nice weight and stays sharp.
Great, but they run INCREDIBLY small.
By Alex
from Orange County
I liked the pants, they seem very comfortable and quality seems nice. However they run at least 2 sizes small in the waist. At least! I wear a 32x32 in nearly every single pant I have ever owned. I ordered a 32 waist for these pants and it's probably closer to 28. It doesn't fit. I checked the tag twice to make sure I didn't get shipped a wrong size.
Great Fit

The linen slacks were exactly as described, tailored perfectly, and arrived in a very timely manner....and all at a great price!
Great Linen Pants
By Coach Dave
Really nice linen pants. Sizing is a little hit and miss: ALL of these seem to run about 1 size smaller than labelled around the waist. BUT the stone color lengths have been true to size for me. I liked these so much I ordered another pair in blue (indigo?) and it was at LEAST 1" shorter, so I don't know what I can tell you (both lengths worked for me as I like my pants a bit long, so taking an inch off left them still do-able).
Great Pants
By Philly Fan
from Philadelphia, PA
About Me Career, Classic, Conservative
I'm a big fan of JAB's performance linen shirts and shorts, so trying out the trousers seemed to be a natural choice. I am glad I made the purchase. The material for the trousers is, to my hand, a heavier weight than many other linen products. While some may be turned off by this, it helps the pants to maintain a better look (as well as to be a bit more sturdy). They are now a regular part of my summer wardrobe.
Quick service - cool comfortable pants
By none
from Mid Atlantic
pants very comfortable especially in the heat
Not what I expected.
By Paul
from Upstate New York
I thought these linen pants would be nice and light for summer. Instead it was a thick, heavy fabric. I know linen is supposed to breathe, but these would be just too heavy to wear in hot weather. I returned them.
These Pants are Great
By B
from Alabama
About Me Career, Casual
I live in the Deep South and these pants are perfect for my style and this climate. They breath well and are very comfortable to wear. I purchased these pants while they were on sale and I think the price was quite a bargin.

Buffalo Bills great Cookie Gilchrist and former Bills quarterback Daryle Lamonica are among 20 players nominated for the Hall of Very Good by the Pro Football Researchers Association.
The researchers group started the honor in 2003 as a way to recognize outstanding players who were not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Every year between eight and 10 are given the Hall of Very Good distinction. The non-profit PFRA was formed in 1979 and is open to any fan interested in the history of professional football. Its members have worked to compile statistics from games of long ago, compile play-by-play game books, document the names of all officials in NFL history, and many other research projects. The group also produces a magazine, The Coffin Corner, six times a year.
Last year, Bills great Jack Kemp and South Dayton, N.Y., native Bill Bergey were named to the HOVG. In 2011, defensive tackle Tom Sestak and coach Lou Saban became the first two Bills to be honored.
The other 18 finalists this year are:Tackle Grady Alderman, defensive back Erich Barnes, linebacker Mike Curtis, quarterback Roman Gabriel, guard Gale Gillingham, linebacker Larry Grantham, guard Ken Gray, receiver Charlie Hennigan, defensive end Rich "Tombstone" Jackson, guard Bob Kuechenberg, tackle George Kunz, back Tony Latone, defensive end Harvey Martin, cornerback Lemar Parrish, guard Duane Putnam, safety Donnie Shell, defensive end Bill Stanfill and tackle Jim Tyrer.
Gilchrist made first-team all-American Football League three times, in 1962, '64 and '65. He rushed for 4,293 yards in 4 ½ seasons. He had rushing yards 3,056 and 35 touchdowns in three seasons with the Bills.
Lamonica played for the Bills from 1963 to 1966, mostly as the backup to Jack Kemp. He was dealt to Oakland in 1967 in the worst trade in Bills history. "The Mad Bomber" started the next six seasons for the Raiders, posting a 61-14-6 record and making five all-star games.
Two of the nominees received all-decade honors. Tyrer was one of two offensive tackles on the AFL's all-decade team. Martin was one of four defensive ends on the NFL's all-decade team of the '70s.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry and others are lashing out at President Barack Obama's decision not to tour border facilities overwhelmed by a flood of undocumented children, saying the U.S. leader needs to see with his own eyes what both sides agree is a humanitarian crisis.
"The American people expect to see their President when there is a disaster," Perry told CNN's Kate Bolduan in an interview that aired Thursday, citing Obama's trip to the East Coast to tour damage caused by Superstorm Sandy in 2012. "He showed up at Sandy. Why not Texas?"
Both Republicans and the White House have described the crush of Central American children as a humanitarian crisis, but Obama said Wednesday that visiting facilities where the children are processed and detained would be little more than a photo opportunity.
"There's nothing that is taking place down there that I am not intimately aware of and briefed on. This isn't theater. This is a problem," Obama said Wednesday.
The controversy has been compared to President George W. Bush's initial decision not to tour the storm-ravaged Gulf Coast after 2005's Hurricane Katrina.
Bush opted instead to fly over the coast in Air Force One, resulting in a famous picture of the President peering down at the devastation from his jet. It left many feeling that Bush was detached and uncaring. Bush later acknowledged that failing to land and at least express solidarity with victims was a mistake.
Perry alluded to that Wednesday in an interview on the Fox News program "Hannity."
"I'm pretty sure that if George Bush had said, 'well I sent my FEMA director multiple times,' he still would have been criticized greatly," he told "Hannity," according to a report on the network's website.
"Because you need to go. That's what governors do, that's what presidents do," Perry said. "When there are natural disasters, when there are crises like these, a president needs to be there to show the American people, No. 1, that he understands."
'Go down there and see what we're facing'
Even some Democrats were critical of the decision. U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, said on CNN's "New Day" that it's important for Obama to see what the children are going through.
"I'm interested in him looking at the kids. The kids that I've talked to, little innocent little boys and girls that have come across and have traveled over 1,000 miles, that one-third of the girls have been abused and raped on the way up here," he said. "The last young kid was an 11-year-old little boy from Guatemala that died of dehydration. That is the face that I want him to see. Don't take any cameras, Mr. President, but go down there and see what we're facing."
Obama has called on Congress to quickly approve his request for $3.7 billion in emergency funding to deal with the crisis, which has seen thousands of undocumented children crossing the border without their parents.
Many have surrendered themselves to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers on the belief they will be allowed to stay in the country, and officials have struggled to house the children amid a staggering backlog of immigration cases.
Obama said Wednesday that "the problem here is not a major disagreement around the actions that could be helpful in dealing with the problem."
The challenge he said, is whether Congress is prepared to "put the resources in place to get this done."
"Are folks more interested in politics, or are they more interested in solving the problem?" he said.
Process overwhelmed
The surge of undocumented youths from Central America has overwhelmed federal facilities and revived the debate over an immigration policy overhaul, one of the most partisan issues in the already overheated political climate of an election year.
U.S. authorities estimate that 60,000 to 80,000 undocumented children will cross the border without their parents this year. While many have been released to family pending deportation hearings, others have been detained by authorities amid a growing backlog of pending cases.
Obama administration officials blame the influx on dire conditions in countries such as Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
Critics, however, say the administration invited the problem by halting deportations of some young immigrants who arrived illegally in past years.
"The children are a symptom of policies that have enticed them to come," Perry said. "The first thing you have to do is stop the flow, because if we don't, then the problem's not going to be the size we have today."
Republicans have called for the repeal of a 2008 law signed by President George W. Bush that requires deportation hearings before sending back children from countries that do not border the United States.
"I don't think we can solve the problem unless we revisit" the law, Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn said.

Joshua Raine Laven, 39, was a photographer, a hairdresser and an adventurer who did things without holding back.
When he broke his jaw and hurt his back in an accident during a remodeling job, he found that yoga helped his pain. So he went to India and studied with a master for four months, so that he could share his knowledge with others.
He wasn't just a hairdresser. He worked for Jonathan Salon, the one in the reality show, Blow Out.
Even as a boy, he pushed the limits. His mother remembers him refusing to start bicycling with training wheels. He wanted to go full throttle on two wheels, even though he crashed a few times at the beginning.
When his closest friend died of a heart attack, Laven, 39, decided to honor him by riding across the country on his friend's bicycle. Because he wanted to bring his dog, a Cairn terrier named Ozziet, he did a lot of his riding at night to avoid the heat.
He left from his home on Cape Cod on his 39th birthday, Sept. 23, and was 100 miles from ending his trip in San Francisco when an unknown person struck his bicycle and left him on the side of Highway 1 by Wilder Ranch on May 4.
Ozziet, who waited by Joshua's bicycle after he was struck, attracted the attention of cyclists who found his body thrown from the road.
This week his mother, Jennifer Putnam, came to Santa Cruz to ask for the public's help in finding the person who left her son to die on the side of the road. She will hold a press conference with the California Highway Patrol Thursday.
So far, the CHP says it is looking for a 2002-2005 Dodge Ram pickup and asks anyone with information to call (831) 796-2160.
"Please come forward if you know anything, if you've heard anything, if you've seen anything," said Putnam in an interview this week. "He's greatly missed by all of his friends."
Putnam, her sister Dilys Constantino, of Honolulu and Joan Leitner, the woman who found Laven's dog, met at District Attorney Bob Lee's office to discuss their need for a resolution to the case.
"I know it was an accident," said Putnam. "But how can they leave him there to die? Why not call 911? That would have been more humane. I feel bad for them. They have to live the rest of their life knowing they killed someone."
Putnam didn't find out about the death of her only son until three days after his body was found. She was told that police wouldn't go through his belongings, even though he had his passport on him, until the coroner had investigated the death. He was found at 10:40 a.m. by Leitner and her husband Steve, who were riding a tandem bicycle when they spotted Ozziet.
Lavin, a true dog lover, took the small terrier with him everywhere. Ozziet, 5-years-old, sometimes rode in a trailer behind the bike, sometimes in a basket in front, and sometimes in a baby carrier on Laven's chest.
Putnam and friends in Orleans, Mass, were distressed at early police reports saying that Laven was homeless.
"Home was a lot of places for him," she said. "People loved him everywhere he went. New York was a home; Boston was a home; Los Angeles was a home; India was a home."
He was bound for India after the bicycle trip to study more yoga. He got a 10-year visa to make sure he could study at the top levels and bring his learning to those who needed to relieve their pain.
His mother said he was a person who loved to make others happy and he could do that by curing their pain through yoga.
As a boy he once bit into a lemon and saw everyone laugh at the face he made."He was 2-years-old and he loved to see them laughing. He loved entertaining people from that moment on."
Laven, who took the southern route across the country, through Louisiana, Texas and Arizona, ended up staying longer in Santa Cruz than he had planned when the frame on his bike broke. He waited to have a new one built at the Scared of some of the transients he encountered around the city, he found an isolated campsite close to Davenport where he waited to resume his trip.
Last weekend, 20 cyclists rode on Highway 1 and put up a memorial to Laven, mounting his bicycle to a post where he died.
His mother worried about him taking this bicycle trip, but knew it was in keeping with his adventurous spirit.
"Of course I was worried," she said. "I was like, here's a guy who had back problems, broke his jaw traveling with a dog, and I'm thinking, 'My God.' But he was an incredible, incredible person."
Leitner, 50, from Capitola, said she has had trouble riding on Highway 1 since finding Josh's body. She hopes his death will inspire cyclists to support rail trails, bicycle lanes along abandoned railroad lines, to keep them separated from traffic.
"Santa Cruz is a good bicycling town," she said. "But it's not safe enough. We can do more to make it safer."

COMING IN 2013: One Degree by Nine Universities
Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Leadership will be Louisiana's First 100% Online Collaborative Degree
BATON ROUGE – As early as February 2013, University of Louisiana System institutions will begin accepting applications for the Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Leadership, a 100% online degree offered jointly by nine public universities. The accelerated degree completion program is designed for adults who stopped out of college.
"According to the 2009 American Community Survey there are over 600,000 adults in Louisiana with some college credit and no degree. This pioneering program is a way to reach out to that market and entice former students to finish their degrees, while capitalizing on the unique strengths of nine public universities," said UL System Interim President Tom Layzell.
Students who enroll in the organizational leadership degree can choose from nine distinctive concentrations that enhance their career goals:
The Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana System today approved an agreement signed by the presidents of all nine universities to share faculty, staff, technology, and other resources in the online collaborative program.
The degree will consist of 30 hours of courses offered jointly by faculty at the nine universities and 30 hours of concentration and elective courses offered by each institution. The online platform will be seamless and the cost will be uniform across concentrations and universities.
To enter the program, students must be at least 25 years old and have completed 60 hours of college credit including general education courses. However, students with less than 60 hours will have opportunities to earn credit online or through prior learning assessment that gauges skills learned on the job.
Offered in five, eight-week terms each year, and charging a flat per credit hour rate of $325, the program can be completed in two years well below the cost of other online degree programs.
"We can offer a competitive price for the program because our universities are willing to share resources. Their faculty and staff are working together in unprecedented ways and the result will be a cost-effective, flexible degree for Louisiana's working adults," said Layzell.
Louisiana Tech University President Dr. Dan Reneau:
Northwestern State University President Dr. Randall J. Webb:
Nicholls State University President Dr. Stephen T. Hulbert:
McNeese State University President Dr. Philip C. Williams:
University of New Orleans President Dr. Peter J. Fos:
Grambling State University President Dr. Frank Pogue:
University of Louisiana at Lafayette President Dr. E. Joseph Savoie:
Southeastern Louisiana University President Dr. John Crain:
University of Louisiana at Monroe President Dr. Nick Bruno:
"Although applications will not be open until February, people interested in this program should begin researching their options including tracking down transcripts," said UL System Vice President for Research and Performance Assessment Beatrice Baldwin who is coordinating the program.
The UL System has been working with the Center for Adult Learning in Louisiana (CALL), sponsored by the Board of Regents, to structure and market the program starting in 2013. The program will join CALL's 20 online programs for adults, although this will be the first collaborative degree of its kind.
For more about online degrees for adults and the Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Leadership, visit www.YourCALLla.org and www.ulsystem.edu/ONEdegreeNINEuniversities.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM AUTHORIZATION: The Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Leadership degree program has been approved by the Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana System and the Louisiana Board of Regents. It is pending approval by the Southern Association of State Colleges and Universities (SACS-COC) in December. Grambling State University's participation is expected in Fall 2013.
ABOUT THE UL SYSTEM: The University of Louisiana System is the largest higher education system in Louisiana enrolling over 92,000 students at Grambling State University, Louisiana Tech University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, the University of Louisiana at Monroe, and the University of New Orleans.

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
She's done it again.
For the second consecutive year, one of Joie Raybourn's steers was awarded the title of Grand Champion Market Beef at the 4-H/FFA Junior Livestock Auction.
The 1,372-pound steer, Lucky, sold for $6 a pound Saturday evening to the Best Western Plus Rio Grande Inn.
"I thought I had a good chance, but I was still really excited," Raybourn said.
A lot of hours and hard work were poured into Lucky, Raybourn's mom, Dana, said. Joie Raybourn spends about 20 hours a week in the barn with the steers.
Her steer, Bandit, sold for $7 a pound last year, but Raybourn says she still got a good price for Lucky, despite the $1 difference.
"It's pretty good because the economy isn't too well," she said.
This was a common sentiment at the auction held at the La Plata County Fairgrounds.
This was the last auction for 18-year-old Dustrie Stock. Her steer, Pepper, sold for $3 a pound.
"Sale prices have been down, so I was pleased with what I got," she said. "It's my last year, so that's the disappointing part."
Skkye Moreno, 17, raised this year's grand champion lamb, which sold for $10.75 a pound. The lamb, Brown Sugar, weighed 135 pounds.
The amount may seem high, but Moreno said buying prices have been down at auctions in recent years. One of her lambs, which was about the same size as Brown Sugar, received second place at a previous auction but sold for $11.75 a pound.
The cost of food to feed the lambs has increased, but Moreno said she has been able to break even.
Dana Raybourn also said corn prices are rising, and everyone is getting scared of how expensive feed is becoming. The Raybourns were able to break even after selling Lucky.
Nonetheless, she said Joie will be back next year with another steer.
"It's just such a great learning experience," she said.

Obamacare will not force Catonsville nuns to provide free access to birth control, a U.S. District Court judge has ruled.
The Little Sisters of the Poor operates St. Martin's Home in Catonsville and about 30 other homes for the poor and elderly across the country, including in Colorado, where a federal lawsuit was filed on their behalf by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, reports the Baltimore Sun.
The nuns argued that because they are not a church, they would not fall under the religious employer exemption for contraceptive coverage and that giving free access to birth control would violate their religious vows.
A federal judge agreed with government officials who said that the Little Sisters were exempt from the contraception mandate in the federal health care law.
The issue of how the government would define religious employers
has been contentious for religious schools, universities and private businesses
like Hobby Lobby, whose case
is scheduled to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court next

Dragon's Crown Review: Stunningly beautiful beat-'em-up turned RPG
Review Score
- PSU Review Score
- 9.0
- Avg. user review score:
- 0.0
You must be logged in to rate a game
Atlus and Vanillaware make a strong case for the greatest tag team in modern gaming. Dragon's Crown is a brilliant reimagining of a classic genre that wields the depth of an RPG while keeping core elements intact.
We like
- Stunningly beautiful artwork
- An original take on the classic 'score' system
- Depth not seen in a beat-'em-up ever before
We dislike
- A soundtrack lacking in appropriate epicness
- The slow build-up for all game elements to unlock
See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings
What does a 15-year wait give you? A blast from the '90s past as Atlus and Vanillaware bring you the beat-'em-up that tries to end all beat-'em-ups. Get ready to delve into a controversially artistic world that mixes Dungeons & Dragons with Final Fight, from the creators of GrimGrimoire and Odin Sphere.
Welcome to the world of Dragon's Crown, adventurer. Pull up a seat and listen to a tale of grand adventure as you try to rescue the kingdom, and the world, from an ancient, all-consuming dragon. Play as one of six characters: Fighter, Dwarf, Amazon, Elf, Wizard, or Sorceress, and team up with others from around the world to fulfill this destiny. Okay, so maybe the narrative of the game is nothing original, but it doesn't claim to be. Sacrificing narrative for fun is what a beat-'em-up is about and Dragon's Crown is no different. It gives the player just enough to keep them going, and just enough to not let the remarkable artwork go to waste.
What defines and differentiates this game from others on the market is the artwork, which combines the best of both worlds. In combat, all the characters have a distinct, anime feel to them and their movements, but outside of combat the artwork shifts to a more realistic style, as if Da Vinci had a part in its direction. That realistic style is also exaggerated in typical video game fashion by the cast of characters being turned into caricatures of their namesakes from past titles. Lots of people know about the Sorceress controversy, but everyone is given equal treatment. The Fighter makes Schwarzenegger look like a creampuff and the Amazon is sporting a six-pack that would make Jay Cutler feel like he needs another year in the gym.
Dragon's Crown stays true to the traditional SNES/Genesis-era beat-'em-up formula. Scroll right, beat up enemies, wait for the go sign to flash, pick up some weapons, lather, rinse, repeat. It even has a score gauge and lives. Further expansion to the formula can be seen outside of combat, namely with the introduction of RPG mechanics. Chests give you equipment to power-up your characters, your score is turned into experience points for leveling, and there is even a gauntlet-style mode that allows you to keep grinding through more stages to boost your rewards. If you choose not to, or cannot, play online then you can select three NPCs to bring along in your party, which you recruit by bringing their bones back to town for resurrection.
In the beginning, this will be a slow game because you have to keep progressing through the story to unlock vital abilities. In fact, you'll be over halfway done with the story before being able to cook food at a camp for in-stage bonuses and before what I've termed 'gauntlet mode' is unlocked and usable. Even online is not unlocked right away, which made me forget it even existed until it automatically switched on and sent me into another player's party.
Online multiplayer is where a lot of the fun is to be had in Dragon's Crown, because of how random it can be. As long as you do not turn off online or make character slots private then anyone can join you at any time. In the middle of battle, one of the NPCs or empty slots can suddenly be a real person. However, what's really innovative and impressive is if a real person suddenly leaves the party for any reason their character remains as an NPC, allowing players not to suddenly die at a boss because his party suddenly vanished.
If there is one failing in the game, it is the lack of an epic musical score. Obviously, Yuzo Koshiro doing the soundtrack would not fit the game's thematics, as much as a Streets of Rage dubmix would be great to smash heads with. However, with the popularity of medieval combat music being a dime a dozen on YouTube, it's something of a let down when you find yourself turning the volume down on the game, and up on the computer. Needless to say, it was actually quite surprising to find I was more interested in ... (continued on next page) ----
