The Moore American
It's been a season of missed opportunities for Moore. Almost every game it's been in, it's had its chances to come up with the upset, but hasn't been able to cash in.
That trend continued Thursday when the Lions hosted Yukon in a District 6A-3 matchup. Moore played the Millers tight for four quarters, but were unable to take advantage of the moments provided to them to steal the win. Yukon defeated Moore 35-14 at Moore Stadium.
"That's the most difficult part when you know you are towing the line between success and failure," Moore's Casen Haddox said. "You are right there and you step across. But we always step back behind. We have to find the spark to keep us across that line."
With 10:03 left in the game and trailing 21-14, Moore (1-6, 1-3) took over on its own 30-yard line. It drove the ball to the Millers' 43-yard line and faced fourth and one. The Lions lined up to go for it, but a false start pushed them back five yards. Instead of going for it, coach Todd Watters decided to punt and give his defense a chance to get the ball back
The gamble didn't work. Yukon (4-3, 2-2) drove the ball down the field and scored in less than two minutes to put the game away at 28-14.
However, the scoring wasn't done. Yukon got the ball back again with 1:30 left in the game. Since the Lions had no timeouts, the Millers looked like they were going to run out the clock. Instead they decided to go for district points and Hayden Somerville threw his fourth TD pass of the night when he completed a 45-yard bomb with 26 seconds left.
The move didn't sit well with the Lions.
"We had problems with them the past two years," Moore quarterback Jordan Bernhardy said. "It wasn't unexpected. That is just what they do."
Haddox agreed with his teammate.
"I think it's a little bit arrogant to throw a touchdown at the end of the game like that," Haddox said. "If that's who you are, that's who you are. I feel like that's something you shouldn't have done."
The Millers were the first to strike when quarterback Hayden Somerville connected for a 24-yard touchdown pass with 57 seconds left in the first quarter. The TD was set up by great field position after a poor punt by the Lions.
Moore turned the ball over to start the second period deep in its own territory. Two plays later, the Lions forced a fumble and Ryan Lujan recovered on the 10-yard line.
Unfortunately for the Lions, they weren't able to do much with it. Bernhardy would break off long runs, then the offense would stall out and have to punt.
When the Lions finally got on the scoreboard, it was in dramatic fashion. After forcing Yukon to punt, the ball was downed on the Lions' 1-yard line. Two plays later, Lujan smashed through the middle of the Millers' defensive front, broke two tackles in the secondary and skirted 98 yards for a touchdown. The game was tied 7-7.
However, it didn't last long. Less than a minute later, the Millers' Caelan Groce caught a TD pass to put Yukon up 14-7.
With 3:17 left in the half, the Lions had a chance to try and tie the game when they forced Yukon to punt. Bernhardy scrambled for a 30-yard gain before hitting Lujan for another big play down field. That set up a 9-yard touchdown pass from Bernhardy to Stephan Robinson and sent the game into halftime tied 14-14.
With the Lions shutting down the running attacking, the Somerville continually tested Moore's secondary. Late in the third quarter, it was Evan Sprayberry who got lit up for a 26-yard touchdown pass, which gave Yukon a 21-14 advantage.
A 95-yard kickoff return for a score by Moore's DeVonte Cooper was called back due to a block in the back 15 yards behind the ball.
"Second half thing just started to fall apart," Bernhardy said. "We kind of got down on ourselves."

---- —
INDIANAPOLIS — Authorities say some autistic children lived in the Indianapolis condominium unit where a fire has killed two children.
Indianapolis Fire Department spokesman Jason Kistler says a woman was taken to a hospital in critical condition from the blaze this morning in the community of Cumberland on the city's east side. Two men and a boy went to hospitals in stable condition.
Cumberland police chief Michael Crooke tells WRTV that at least two autistic children lived at the condominium and their mother had said one of them would sometimes remove face plates from electrical outlets.
The fire burned through an upstairs wall of the two-story building and firefighters cut several holes through the roof. Crews were able to extinguish the fire within about a half hour.

That's quite a title, isn't it?! Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) is a treatment for diarrhea-preominant IBS that you've probably never heard of, but a lady named Lorraine from the UK has been kind enough to talk to me about her experiences with PTNS. This is what she says…
"I am in my forties and I have had bowel, gastro and bladder difficulties for over 20 years, although it is fair to say the most long-term and troublesome problem has been the bowel. I have had two retropexy (correction of rectal prolapse) procedures and a bowel resection caused by two prolapses of the bowel (due to constipation weakness in the anal canal). How I developed this is inconclusive; I have not had children and I will probably not now due to years of struggling with the symptoms of incontinence, pain in the gut plus bowel malfunction.
I was told by my consultant to go away, live my life but never strain! That means taking laxatives, which can give me urgent diarrhea, so I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. It has taken a lot of adjustments and various implementations to achieve some level of normal life.
For many years, I have seen various consultants paid for privately and via the NHS. I was offered neurostimulation, but after several consultations and tests I decided that this would be too intrusive with not a high enough success rate. It would also only help one of my symptoms.
Finally I came across a treatment that was recommended for me, and that was PTNS. It starts with once a week treatments for 12 weeks and after that you are put on a maintenance level which will vary depending on your success and what is manageable (cost and need).
The treatment is not intrusive. They place an acupuncture needle just above your ankle. You then feel a tingling sensation and it is left to work for half an hour. You are left comfortably sitting on a chair (quite often I read the paper!) or you may chat to fellow patients.
I certainly think anyone with similar symptoms to mine should go see their GP who can then hopefully refer them on; however this is not widely available but it is out there and some hospitals are able to offer this treatment.
I found the treatment a great help with urgency and control and the amount of loo visits were reduced. This did not kick in until the sixth or seventh treatment. However, I am now on a monthly treatment schedule and I seem to be struggling again. I will be mentioning this to the team after my next treatment.
After the years of pain, misery, discomfort and not to mention embarrassment I have found this treatment a great help. It is not a total fix but it's certainly a helpful tweak to unmix my bowel and thus giving me a less mixed-up mind on how I feel and cope with this condition. I hope this helps anyone who needs it.
By the way I exercise, run and travel. The doors are opening. I have rekindled my modelling career. Ironic to think I once modelled incontinence pants for a photographic job! I have also had cognitive therapy, tried my own hypnotherapy with CD guidance and had years of love and support from my partner and family. So never give up, there is hope on its way."

U.S. Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) today said that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is "way off the mark" in his criticism of Pres. Barack Obama's foreign policy
Reed — who is up for re-election in 2014 — also spoke about Mr. Obama's record on foreign policy and the weekend release of 166 pages of intelligence documents that appear to identify Libyan rebels who were working with the CIA in Benghazi, the site of a terrorist attack on Sept. 11 that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens. The three-term senator also flatly denied that he would consider accepting the post of Secretary of Defense, should President Barack Obama win reelection in two weeks.
To that specific question, Reed answered simply: "No" before describing his work as Senator as "a great privilege."
Reed spoke with Patch following an appearance at the Smithfield Senior Center to speak about improvements in Social Security and Medicare, and to introduce a stress-management seminar hosted by Pharmacy students from the University of Rhode Island.

Perfect for travel Bought as a gift , it's great for that hard to buy for person. July 25, 2014
Impeccable Quality! This ashtray is classic. It's rich look and feel is understated in the photos. Once you have it in your hands, it has quite a weight to it. This is not cheaply made, an ashtray for real men! I wasn't expecting that the metallic parts except for the cigar holder itself all are attached by powerful magnet! So it's easy to clean, and the parts won't fall out. The only flaw with it I could discern is that the ashtray disk is on the top portion of the box, when you close it, and probably should have been placed at the bottom instead. Minor issue, I'm sure there is a reason they built it the way they did! I have to say I am impressed with TB's product quality! July 19, 2014
This is a must! I purchased this as a gift for a friend who loves it so much he has asked for another! July 16, 2014

High Quality Convenience I got this for my boss who loves cigars and was traveling to an island after the holidays. It was perfect for the beach; it fit easily in his luggage and beach bag! January 14, 2014
bought as a gift for very good friends I loved the composition and the types of materials in the ashtray. Haven't heard from my friends yet but I think a very nice cigar accessory January 14, 2014
Well Crafted We bought this for my father in law as a gift and he loved it. It is well made and perfect for travel. January 6, 2014

First Niagara Presents Grand View Hospital $25,000 Gift for Emergency Department
First Niagara Presents Grand View Hospital $25,000 Gift for Emergency Department
(February 28, 2012) Sellersville, PA – First Niagara Financial Group, Inc. presented Grand View Hospital with a $25,000 gift for the hospital's emergency department. "These funds will help us meet growing demand for emergency care in our community," said Grand View's vice president for medical affairs Jane Ferry, MD.
In a recently completed project, Grand View renovated and expanded its emergency department, gaining new treatment areas along with a more streamlined approach to patient care. The project was undertaken to meet steadily increasing volume, which climbed to 36,000 visits in 2011. The emergency department was designed to handle 21,000 visits when it opened in 1994.
"Now we can treat more patients in less time," said Grand View's emergency department manager Jacki Howenstein, RN. Of the department's 27 beds, 23 are acute care and 15 have cardiac monitoring. "This enables us to keep pace with

the trend of more people seeking acute care in the emergency department," Howenstein added. Other project improvements include an enlarged patient waiting area and enhanced security.
"We are very happy to support Grand View Hospital. The emergency department provides patient care that is critical to the people in the communities First Niagara serves," First Niagara's regional president Bob Kane said.
"We are grateful to First Niagara for its generous donation. This will help us meet the needs of those who enter Grand View's doors for emergency medical care," Ferry responded.

In one of the professional organizations I am a member of on Linked In, I read a discussion entitled, "Why is everyone crazy about bringing in 21st century education. Then what about all the ideas and works of 20 centuries???"
I think there are two things that need to be addressed in order to answer this question.
• The actual content and curriculum
• Communication style of the curriculum.
In my work, my experience has been that when it comes to the focus and learning of the 21st century student, 21st century kids' brains are literally wired differently! You can read more about the how and why of it in these two locations:
1. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/21/technolog/21brain.html?pagewanted=all
2. Generation Text, Raising Well-Adjusted Kids in the Age of Instant Everything," by Dr. Michael Osit.
21st Century media, learning, research and entertainment is interactive and collaborative. Exposure to this has completely altered the effectiveness of prior teaching methods such as text book reading and lecturing.
Haven't you ever heard a student say, "How will I ever use this in real life?" One of the benefits of the 21st century style of teaching is that a student will not even think to ask this question! In today's fast paced, technology driven society, the methods of communication that were used in the 80s, such as "lecturing," would put anyone to sleep!

A: Very dark brown with ruby highlights... almost black with a pure creamy off-white/tan head and lacing all the way down the glass.
S:Rich dark malt with toasty melanoidans. Dark bread crust. There is a dark toffee note as well. Im getting a good whiff of prune and other dried dark fruits
T: Big malty sweetness and very melanoidan rich. Big flavors or very well done toast on the cusp of burnt but without being roasty. It moves a dark fruity sweetness; plums and prunes come to mind. Just a hint of hop bitterness, but the malt is definately the forefront of this beer. There is a smooth warming alcohol that creeps in at the end and lingers through the swallow.
M: smooth and rich full body on the chewier side. Very clean with a sweet finish that isn't cloying
D: The high alcohol and sweeter finish mean you aren't drinking for quantity but you are Certainly drinking for quality here. Very drinkable, and a remarkable rendition of the style

A- Dark, thick, cola-colored body with a huge, frothy light tan head.
S- Raisins, cherry licorice, rich bready malt. Big aroma filled with rich malts.
T- Very similar to the aroma, big rich malts, raisins, a nice toasted flavor to it with lots of sweetness to balance it out. Some of the aroma and flavor reminds me of the cherry licorice pipes my dad used to buy me.
M- Not quite as thick and chewy as I am used to with doppelbocks, but still very nice and good for the style.
O- A nice example of the style and one of the originals. Not quite as big as a would have imagined, but a solid beer.

Poured into a stout glass from a bottle.
A: This beer is a wonderfully dark, thick and rich doppelbock. It is mostly a dark brownish-black with hints of red and even amber at its thinnest points in the glass near the stem. Some creamy frothy head but no major lacing on on my pour. The beer seems so thick that as it leaves the glass it pulls the lacing with it. Lots of soul in this beer's look.
S: Not super fragrant, gives the impression that it's thick and not aromatic like an IPA. Big malts hidden deep and a very noticeable molasses smell.
T: I'll be completely frank from the start. I struggled between a 5.00 and 4.75 here. This beer isn't really perfect but it's too good to be 4.75. Unfortunately I don't think it quite deserves a 5.00 but it's so close that I almost gave it to it anyway... Anyway, on to the review.. The first sip is very smooth and crisp considering its thickness, very similar to a nice drinkable wine. Extremely malty, one of the richest and maltiest beers I've tasted. Tons of depth and various flavors as the beer cools. Rich caramel and molasses over hints of coffee. Even a little twang maybe like a green apple on the nose. Nothing overpowering, perfectly balanced. Extremely drinkable. 6.7% ABV and virtually zero bitterness. The roasted malts are huge. The only thing it needs is a little more hops to give it a nice crispy finish. Massive, deep rich beer. Wonderful. A++++.
M: Thick but not syrupy. Very crisp and tons of carbonation deep within the beer's rich texture. A wonderful mouthfeel after drinking with almost no aftertaste. Super smooth, super flavorful and super easy to drink.
O: By far the easiest doppelbock I've tasted, and possibly one of the best beers I've tasted. Rich and powerful, deep and thick but not overly strong, sour or bitter. Lots of wonderful notes and a very fragrant nose. Dominant flavors are MALT MALT MALT MALT with some caramel, molasses. Followed by some subtle coffee and citrus hints. Wonderfully balanced, maybe the best balanced beer I've ever sampled. Unbelievably drinkable for this thickness.

Proposition 14 won't cure all of California's political ills — that's too big a task for any single initiative. But it's a modest step toward eliminating some of the incentives that encourage our representatives to dig in and resist sensible compromise, even when they know it's in the state's best interest. That's enough to merit its passage. We endorse Proposition 14.
We do so even though both its critics and its principal supporters are doing a poor job of explaining the proposition. It will not, as state Sen. Abel Maldonado (R-Santa Maria) and other supporters would have one believe, singlehandedly put an end to California's gridlock. Nor will it wipe out the political parties, as party officials and their union allies argue in their sub-rosa campaign to defeat the measure.

July 31, 2014
Madison schools may be going to voters to close an $8.6 million budget shortfall. Thursday, they outlined where cuts may be made if there's no new money.
Superintendent Art Rainwater says those proposed cuts include 131 jobs across the district. Ninety-two of those are teaching positions including psychologists, counselors and classroom teachers. In addition, eight custodians would be cut.
One program that would be eliminated is elementary string music for 4th and 5th graders. Rainwater says, "When you get down to the final decisions and your priorities are children learning to read, do mathematics and be safe in school, and have the kind of supports that they need, we're at the point now in our budget process that we're not gonna be the same as we were, and things like elementary school strings are the kinds of things we won't be able to do."
Under the proposal, no athletics would be cut completely, but it would mean fewer lower level or C teams than there are now.
The cuts would not have to be made if voters pass a referendum, but then property taxes would go up.

Dear American Girl,
My older sister is beginning high school this fall and I'm afraid she won't want to hang out with me anymore. What if she doesn't have time for me?
-Worried sibling
Here's your advice:
High school is a big adventure! Your sister probably needs all the help and support she can get. She might be just as worried as you are.
-Haley, age 10, California
You could plan an activity to do together each weekend. Maybe you could watch a movie or paint your nails?
-Sophia, age 12, California
Your sister might want a little more alone time but that doesn't mean that she won't want to hang out with you. Try not to take it personally if she needs more time by herself or with friends her age.
-Isabella, age 11, California
Find things to do outside together when your sister needs a break from homework.
-Sophia, age 10, Florida
Just because your sister is in high school doesn't mean she will change. I'm in high school, and I'm still interested in the same things as before.
-Helena, age 16, Pennsylvania
While she might have best friends at school, you will always be her sister. She will be there for you.
-Lily, age 11, Michigan
This could be a great time for you to discover your own hobbies. My brother recently went to high school and he started to love electronics. Be yourself and find out what you like!
-An American Girl fan
Talk to your sister and let her know your concerns before she starts high school. That way, she might make more of an effort to fit you into her schedule.
-Julie, age 13, Maryland
In two years I will be going to high school. I know how it feels to be left out by older kids so I'm never going to do that to my little sister. Try setting up a family night each week for you to eat a meal together and play games or watch a movie.
-Stella, age 11, Michigan
My sister told me that high school is hard and she has lots of work. You could arrange a time to do your homework together.
-Megan, age 10, Colorado
My sister is 25, and I thought she wouldn't hang out with me once she started her university degree. Guess what? We always do fun things together on the weekends, such as shopping, going to the movies, or baking a cake.
-Evie, age 11, Ireland
I was worried about that, too. When my brother started high school I thought we would drift apart. However, we are still best friends!
-Amber, age 13, Idaho
My older sister is in high school, too. When I began to feel this way, I started sitting by my sister at dinnertime. I asked her about school and then she knew that I still wanted to be close with her.
-Zoe, age 10, Arkansas

Welcome to The Not-So Private Parts where technology & privacy collide
After a ruling from the Supreme Court today, should your TSA body scan somehow get out into the public and go viral, you're going to be out of luck in collecting damages unless it causes you to lose your job.
"After today, no matter how debilitating and substantial the resulting mental anguish, an individual harmed by a federal agency's intentional or willful [exposure of their personal information] will be left without a remedy unless he or she is able to prove [pocketbook] harm," wrote Justice Sonia Sotomayor today, dissenting from a Supreme Court ruling [pdf] that will make it harder for U.S. citizens to successfully sue government agencies that publicize embarrassing personal data.
The Supreme Court was unsympathetic to the plight of pilot Stanmore C. Cooper who sued the government after the Social Security Administration, from which he was receiving disability benefits, revealed to the Federal Aviation Administration, from which he had a pilot's license, that he had H.I.V. (He had been diagnosed in 1985.) Cooper had concealed his medical condition from the FAA for years because he feared discrimination based on his disease and that it would reveal his sexual orientation as a gay man. (Mike Sacks at the Huffington Post has a nice backgrounder on the case.) Once outed (for lying) on federal forms, he pled guilty, lost his pilot's license, and paid a $1,000 fine. But then he sued over violation of the Privacy Act of 1974, which prohibits the government from sharing citizens' personal records with other agencies or with the public without their consent.
In a successful suit over the Act, a plaintiff will collect no less than $1,000 if he can prove "actual damages" as a result of an exposure. A federal court had ruled that Cooper was entitled to damages from the FAA for the severe mental and emotional distress involved in the breach of his confidential medical information. But the private pilot's claims did not fly with the Supreme Court, which interpreted "actual damages" to be of the economic variety.
"The Privacy Act does not unequivocally authorize an award of damages for mental or emotional distress," wrote Justice Antonin Scalia (who is famously skeptical of privacy rights) in the majority (5-3) opinion. "[T]here is nothing absurd about a scheme that limits the Government's Privacy Act liability to harm that can be substantiated by proof of tangible economic loss."
In other words, Cooper is out of luck.
As the New York Times points out, Cooper's lawyers had argued that a win for the government would "[make] it easy for the government to silence whistleblowers by subjecting them to embarrassing disclosures."
Justice Elena Kagan abstained. Sotomayor was joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer in the dissenting opinion.
"Although some privacy invasions no doubt result in economic loss, we have recognized time and again that the primary form of injuries is nonpecuniary, and includes mental distress and personal humiliation," wrote Sotomayor, suggesting that the majority had misinterpreted the intent behind the Privacy Act. "Nowhere in the Privacy Act does Congress so much as hint that it views a $5 hit to the pocketbook as more worthy of remedy than debilitating mental distress…[I]ndividuals can no longer recover what our precedents and common sense understand to be the primary, and often only, damages sustained as a result of an invasion of privacy, namely mental or emotional distress."
Another brilliant opinion from the Corporations-Are-People conservatives on the supreme court. Of course they don't see the irony that they, the conservatives on the court, supposedly uphold the value that government should be restrained in its ability to diddle with your personal life. It will be interesting to see how they then segue from this decision to the government-bashing of the affordable care act based on the don't diddle principle…no bias or inconsistencies here… move along.
CommonTater, I think you may have a misunderstanding of how this works-
Scalia here is interpreting a specific law, the 1974 Privacy act. He is taking a strict interpretation of what damages are allowed under that act. Frankly, now that the court has said that only financial damages are allowed, that means congress needs to ammend the act to include other types of damages.
The affordable care act case is a different one entirely, as they are evaluating whether or not it is even allowable under the Constitution. Scalia didn't throw out the Privacy act of 1974, he simply interpreted it narrowly, which is pretty consistently what he tends to do.
Kind of makes you want Wikileaks to release the image from Justice Scalia's TSA scan. Is money the only thing we value in our culture? If you don't lose money no harm can come to you.
I'd thought that the standard of proving harm was no longer necessary for defamation suits- so why the difference here in the careless disclosure of confidential information?
I really appreciate your comments. I have a defamation per se claim that is linked to a Privacy Act claim. I was arrested using the Nationwide Joint Automated Booking System FIRST described in the Federal Register in 2001, Volume 66, Number 78 on Pages 20478-20480 which says that the ONLY category of individuals on whom records are to be maintained in the JABS system is "alleged criminal offenders". However, I was not criminally charged and was held for 5 months without a bail hearing. That is a claim under 5 USC § 552a subsection e(4)(B). Furthermore, the USMS did this to affect my third party lawsuits which also contained a defamation per se complaint, relating to both personal and professional reputations.
I had an FOIPA hearing on Friday and that judge said I appear to have a claim but must file it in a new action. He strongly suggested I get a lawyer.

If your house has sustained damage, and you want a repair service or a brand new roof, you definitely understand that this is an important investment. You don't need an arbitrary person to do your roof. You should understand some of the basic tips when you are on the lookout for a roofing contractor. Follow these guidelines which will enable you to find a suitable experienced roofer within the shortest time and save you the hassle.
Do not accept the lowest bid promptly. Generally, roofers who will use inferior quality materials, which create substandard effects make the lowest bid. Sometimes, a roofing service may be offering a low bid because the company may be running a promotional service, or has additional materials left over.
A company which has been in operation for a very long time can prove a point it has the ability of remaining in a competitive business environment and still satisfy its customers. The contracting agency that you opt for should have a lengthy history of customers, and they should have a guarantee strategy in every roofing service they offer.
A roofing company which is particularly commercial, should have insurance to shield you, and all the appropriate licenses, permits and protection for any indebtedness damage. For instance, if they've a newly hired worker who does not possess a lot of expertise and happens to get injured while working at your house, you are protected by insurance against any claims.
Clients should have a listing of references you can check, if you're seeking a skilled roofing company. Their references might have advice on the quality and type of the roofing job. Both are useful if you're specific about whom you need working on your roof.
Communicating is predominant. You should get a sense of the way the roofing service works by interviewing some of the supervisors, if you would like to be involved in your roof repair. Inform them that you would like to be updated on the job or what you would like to be involved in at the beginning.
Assess the guarantee of the roofing company. If they happen to blunder at work, and later it becomes noticeable by someone or finally offer substandard results; someone gets injured, they should assure of a guarantee. Get warranties and all the guarantees in written form.
Find out the workers expression, if you're able to. Discover what the demands are of prospective workers wishing to be employed with the company. This small observation will show you what kind of employees the company hires and make sure you pick only those who have knowledge in the region.
Ask their employees about their cleaning processes. Some companies will clean up promptly. Other firms will wait until the roof is complete before they pose a risk to damaging your property etc., in most cases this could leave your property looking shambled.
Do not forget to acquire every agreement in writing. Some supervisors are old fashioned and shake hands. Shaking hands is not nasty, but you need a contract. The contract should contain the extent of the roof occupation, the substances used and what the managers are used for, the dates, etc.
If you are looking for the best roofing services in Denver, Roofcorp inc. has you covered. It has a good track record of installing more than 10,000 roofs over the past 17 years, all without any single complaint. They understand all their customers and offer roofing services at unbeatable prices.

The Country of Loneliness
Dawn Paul
Marick Press ($16.95)
by Ellen Orleans
How do you understand a taciturn and truculent father who died when you were twenty? Lacking family recollections, Dawn Paul has interwoven real and imagined narratives of her father, Philip, to create this novel inspired by real-life events.
Understated, The Country of Loneliness mimics living with an alcoholic: its filled with fear, detachment, and smashed hopes. Paul alternates between her childhood and her fathers, shaping a likable, lonely boy who also grew up with an alcoholic father, Philip Sr. Of her own girlhood, she writes:
My family is not poor . . . We have money, but my father owns it, decides how it is spent. If I need a winter jacket . . . my mother braids my hair so I look nice and signals when he is in a good mood. . . . It is understood that I can get away with asking, he will not yell at me or hit. But I am afraid every time.
While The Country of Loneliness is grim, moments of life emerge. With ambitions to run a big company, Philips sister Ruby wore frayed dresses lightly, the line of the old let-down hem showing, as though she would not be wearing such clothes for long. Yet by chapters end, Ruby is pregnant. Inevitable, a future planted in Rubys young body before shed even started her own.
Crushing chapter endings frequent the books first half. Philips father shames him publicly; Philips mother chastises him for speaking condescendingly to an adult. Individually, these heartbreaks are powerful; as a group, though, they become repetitive and even predictable.
Fortunately, the author shifts away from this pattern. When Philip and Ruby discover their fathers illiteracy, Paul avoids the anticipated blow-up, instead sending Philip Sr. out of the house, imbuing Philip Jr. with power, then shame. His fathers failings . . . did not bolster him, they weighed on his wide, bony shoulders. The elegant contrast of wide and bony drives home Philips complex feelings and hints at the conflicted man he will become.
Memoirs often progress from strong to middling, but this fictional adaptation moves from strong to stunning, from immobilized to initiator. As World War II approaches, Philip defies his parents and joins the Navy. In the parallel story, Paul defies her parents and drops out of college.
Near the books end, Paul tackles that essential question: Why did her father become who he was? Asked What was the war like, Dad? Philip offers rare honesty. War is being on a boat watching ships get blown out of the water and knowing your buddies are on them. Pauls subsequent description of her father on his ships bridge—the smell of oil, the heat of flames, the grime on his cuffs—astounds.
Despite this revelatory shift, Philips death is not mawkish, but instead reveals the complexity of emotions among daughter, doctor, and the dying. As author and daughter, Paul reaches a fittingly jumbled peace between her and her father—both the man she knew and the man she was forced to invent.

June 4: Culture of Service
By JERUSALEM POST READERS
06/03/2012 23:11
A simple solution is to abolish the draft and make army service or some other form of national service optional, but to combine it with a substantial financial incentive.

Culture of service
Sir, – Regarding "Keshev Committee hears proposals for increasing haredi enlistment rates" (June 1), the problem is not limited to the haredi world.
There is the country's Arab sector, comprising some 20 percent of the population and of which only a small fraction volunteers.
There is also the significant number of secular Jews who find methods to avoid army service.
In fact, the army doesn't need all this manpower. It certainly does not want reluctant recruits or, even worse, those who have been led to believe that the Jewish state is their sworn enemy.
A simple solution is to abolish the draft and make army service or some other form of national service optional, but to combine it with a substantial financial incentive. Non-military service could range from work in hospitals to assisting teachers or cleaning up our forests, parks and beaches. The list of possibilities is endless.
Accept as the norm for service three years for men and two for women, then calculate subsequent social benefits to a family on the basis of time served. If the parents have accumulated five years of service they would get full allowances. Those with less would have their allowances reduced.
Obviously it would be unfair to establish this retroactively, so it would apply only to those marrying after the new arrangements were in place.
Ma'aleh Adumim
Sir, – Adi Luria, spokeswoman for the National Civil Service Volunteers Association, opposes mandatory national service ("NGO: Don't force people to do national service," June 1). Sadly, she has a very parochial view.
Those who would be required to serve would benefit by being more fully integrated into society, thereby recognizing that they have a very real stake in the nation's future. Also, the stature of the ultra-Orthodox and Arab sectors would be raised in the eyes of the large number of Israelis who feel they do not contribute their fair share. Indeed, it may turn out that fewer people will attempt to shirk their own military duty if they see that, finally, all sectors are being asked to make personal sacrifices.
Zichron Ya'acov
Sir, – What Jay Bushinsky suggests in "Military service for all" (Observations, June 1) is both unworkable and unwise.
Does Bushinsky really believe that an Arab soldier from Umm el-Fahm would carry out an order to kill or capture a terrorist in Jenin, or that a haredi soldier would carry out an order issued by his commanding officer without first checking whether it was in compliance with Halacha? What would be workable and wise, and has worked in America, is a change from a "welfare" system to a "workfare" system whereby the number of financially dependent has been dramatically reduced over the past 20 years. The system requires able-bodied individuals to provide service in order to receive benefits. Many "graduate" to regular-paying jobs.
In Israel, those who are dependent upon the government for benefits should be required to provide national service. In addition, the tens of thousands of secular Jews who avoid military service (about whom we rarely hear), as well as the haredim, could be given added incentives (educational and housing benefits, as well as priority in hiring) in return. This would be similar to the GI Bill in America.
Look inward
Sir, – In your editorial "Glorifying terror" (June 1) you ask why the PA celebrates and glorifies terrorists. Why not ask why we continue to release terrorists or their remains so that they can be so glorified? Do we really hold out hope that something fundamental has changed in Palestinian society? The real issue is why we continue to take actions when all the evidence suggests that we do so only to our detriment.
More on migrants
Sir, – I understand many Israelis are very angry at the African refugees because you are receiving hundreds of migrants across the border every day and don't know where these people are coming from.
It is true that this is a very complex situation. But I want you to understand that I came from a very bad situation in Darfur and the condition of the Darfurians is getting worse and worse.
If you decide you don't want Darfurian refugees to stay here in Israel, there is no other place for us to go. If you send us back the Sudanese will kill us.
They kill children who are just three months old and rape and kill our sisters.
When I was 12 I watched my father die in front of me after the Janjaweed shot him. After that, I had no idea where to go.
Fortunately I was able to cross the Egyptian border – where Egyptian soldiers shot me twice – and make it into Israel. I was lucky that the Israelis saved me and even sent me to a high school in Rishon Lezion. I will never forget what the Israeli people have done for me.
Right now I don't have any communication with my family.
I don't even know if they are alive or dead. The village that I grew up in is destroyed; nobody lives there now. I don't know where my family is. The last time I spoke with my mother was in 2008.
I want to work hard in a safe palace to finish my education so I can help myself and my family and other Darfurians who are in the same situation.
My dream is to be a journalist so that I can tell our story to the world.
Please help us solve our problems and give us refugee status.
We are not asking for economic benefits. We are only asking for the opportunity to develop ourselves and strengthen Darfur and Israel.
Rishon Lezion
The writer is an asylum-seeker
Sir, – With astonishment I have read the recent articles on African migrants in south Tel Aviv and would like the demonstrators who call for mass deportations to ask themselves if they would like to take over the migrants' jobs.
Instead of raising your voices and smashing shop windows, why don't you take up a brush and clean chairs for tourists on Tel Aviv beaches? Or get a plastic bag and collect empty beer bottles from the street? Let's face it: Many in Tel Aviv are pleased with the cheap labor the Africans provide, and silently condone their presence.
I am convinced we can all do with a wee bit more common sense and tolerance.
Have any of you ever spoken to an African migrant, asked about his background, his reasons for coming to Israel? Before judging another person, ask yourself how you would like to be judged. Then open your Torah and look for the chapter that clearly indicates that God is the sole Judge of humanity.
I would like to thank these African migrants for pointing this out.
Rashomon effect
Sir, – My attention has been drawn to an article in your paper titled "When Israel had a champion at the UN" (Comment & Features, May 30).
My late colleague and muchlamented friend Jeane Kirkpatrick certainly deserves our highest gratitude, praise and admiration.
Unfortunately, though, virtually all the references to my person contained in the article were simply inaccurate (if not invented).
For example, and to my profound regret, I do not speak nine languages.
Peter Collier's references to me are apparently based on secondhand and unchecked information (at best) and constitute a forceful validation of the Rashomon effect.
The writer is a former ambassador to the UN

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Former 1st rounder Eric Arnett facing knee surgery
Right-hander Eric Arnett, the Brewers' star-crossed first-round draft pick from 2009, will learn Wednesday if he has a torn ACL in his right knee that would sideline him for the entire season.
Brewers assistant general manager Gord Ash said Arnett, 25, was doing shuttle runs during a recent workout when he injured the knee. Arnett will be examined Wednesday by team physician William Raasch and if the ACL tear is confirmed, will have surgery Thursday.
"It's clearly a major setback if it is what we think it is," said Ash. "He would probably be out for the season. It's normally a 5-6 month rehab."
Arnett never lived up to expectations after the Brewers selected him in the first round in 2009 (26th pick overall) out of Indiana University. He struggled in rookie ball at Helena, going 0-4 with a 4.41 ER in 14 games (nine starts).
With his velocity down considerably from his collegiate days, Arnett was even worse in 2010, going 1-9 with a 6.70 ERA in 20 games (16 starts) at low Class A Wisconsin, being demoted for a period to the rookie club in Arizona.
Arnett's 2011 season was delayed by shoulder issues and he made nine starts with Helena (4-2, 5.19) and five with Wisconsin (0-4, 5.00). He was moved to a relief role last year and made some progress, going 1-0 with a 3.56 ERA in 33 appearances at high Class A Brevard County. In 61 innings, he issued 31 walks and logged 61 strikeouts.
"He made some progress out of the bullpen," said Ash. "He showed some flashes of success. But he obviously has not accomplished what we expected or what he expected."

I don't think I'll be counting on Eric ever logging a major league inning. Too bad.Hide replies
There is still time. He's only 25 years old.
What about working at Hardees would require you to keep in shape with shuttle runs?
If you gave the Brewers a trade of Arnett for a six dollar burger, it's a no brainer isn't it?
this should be a major learning experience for Reid Nichols when it comes to scouting college pitchers. I want to know why this kid was throwing mid 90s his sr year in college and then was down 10 MPH a year later?
Small market team missing on 1st round pick is a major problem. Can't spend your way out of the mistake.Hide replies
No team hits on them all, small or big market. To think otherwise is just ignorant.
What a pile. What was his signing bonus? Ugh. Really an indictment of the Brewers drafting of pitchers. These kinds of mistakes are made on HS pitchers with huge upside. To make this type of blunder on a college pitcher is bad.
Arnett was making shuttle runs and got hurt. I guess now he can make shuttle runs for Domino's.
The Scout who made this kind of blunder & signing should be out of a job if he continues to miss on talent like this. To make such a huge mistake on a number one, really sets back a club on their future plans.
This is totally unexceptable, as far as the Brewers brass should be concerned... totally.Hide replies
Why the Brewers completely refuse to take advantage of the 20/20 hindsight of the posters here is a mystery to none. TOTALLY !!! You guys should be embarrassed - little puppy whiners.
And your spelling, Crunchie? Totally repremissible.
I couldn't agree more. Selecting a pitcher from the Big Ten in the first round is an incredible reach
Only 60% of the 1st round in MLB ever even make a 25 man roster, let alone a major contributor. MLB draft is not the same as NFL and NBA.
This is Bruce Sieds biggest bust! He should be competing for a Rotation spot on the Big League club! I'm done with this guy so put a fork in him!!Hide replies
Bruce Seid should have known he would get injured 3 1/2 years later?

Dorie Clark, Contributor
I write about marketing, branding and business strategy.
Do you ever get the impression no one is on Google Plus? That it's utterly devoid of the vast audience that makes Facebook so powerful? That's exactly why you should get involved now, says consultant Linda Sherman, who is also the past CEO of ClubMed Japan. "People who are ignoring it are falling behind," she told me in a recent interview. "You can leap ahead" by engaging, just as early Twitter adopters won huge audiences as more people discovered the service.
But what if Google Plus is just a fad – the next Friendster instead of the next Twitter? Sherman argues it has two killer apps that will eventually draw the public in. The first is Google Plus' Communities feature, which allows groups to form around particular interests. "Three weeks ago, I wouldn't have said Google Plus was an easy place to meet people," says Sherman, "but now it's amazingly different. You can even join the community as a brand, which you cannot do on Facebook, and you can interact with your potential customers, influencers, and people of interest." Indeed, she points out, "there are a ton of influencers who are concentrating on Google Plus these days." And as she wrote in a recent blog post, "GooglePlus can give you access to influencers who might not notice you elsewhere…There is a nice spirit of camaraderie that people seldom feel with well-established platforms."
At this point, it also skews heavily male. "If you have a product that appeals to men," she says, "that's 100x more reason to devote time to Google Plus." She's also bullish on its business-to-business prospects. "People don't think of Google Plus for B2B," she says. "They think of LinkedIn, and that's great for finding a job, but it's a hard platform to market on. Google Plus allows for long conversations and you can build relationships."
The second major Google Plus feature that Sherman praises is Hangouts, which enables group meetings, discussions, or demonstrations. "It's completely unique to Google Plus," she says. "Facebook and Twitter don't have that." So how can companies make use of it? You can organize a panel discussion explaining to potential customers how to use your latest software, says Sherman, and then archive it and upload it to YouTube seamlessly. Whether you're teaching a recipe, organizing a chat with thought leaders, or doing a live product demonstration, "It looks very professional but doesn't take much effort."
To get started and build a solid reputation on Google Plus, says Sherman, the first step is creating differentiated content – preferably that plays to the service's strengths by using Communities or Hangouts. "What you don't want to do is post the same thing everywhere," she says. "That's really boring and spammy. I know it takes effort, but shift the timing, shift the slant, and do something different; don't just repost Facebook and Twitter items onto Google Plus because a significant number of followers will be the same, and it makes you look like someone who's not a thought leader and not interesting. Why would they bother commenting?"
How are you using Google Plus (or not)?

She is a strategy consultant who has worked with clients including Google, Yale University, and the Ford Foundation. Listen to her podcasts or follow her on Twitter.
More on Forbes:
I am on Google+ and I do feel quite alone there. Recently I have started some marketing Hangouts and I like that application very much.
Seems like the Circles were a good idea, but don't seem to make any sense now. What do you do with your circles?
I set up my circles to match how I talk and work with people in real life. I have family, close friends, business contacts, entertainment and many more. I can easily share Pics, ideas and post with the people that are relevant to the topic. I can share family pics with my Mom that my business contacts don't need to see.
People seem to be so used to Facebook and everyone seeing everything, but circles really give you the ability to match the groups you naturally put people in in real life
Hi Lois. Here is why I think people can feel alone on G+. First, they are accustomed to the interaction they already enjoy on platforms where they have well established connections.
As with the case of any social media platform, this is not a "build it and they will come" scenario. You need to build a new network. Can you remember when your first tweet felt like you were tweeting out into a fast dark ocean with no reply?
As is mentioned in the interview, the new Google Plus communities make it easier to meet new people – just as Twitter chats make it easier to meet new people on Twitter.
Don't let Google Plus be just a syndication of your Forbes articles or what you publish on other platforms. Go back and check your G+ wall. If you see duplicate posts of your same article, it is OK to delete those.
Many people look for @mentions before following someone on Twitter. Same thing with Google+. It looks good to +mention others. Also, spend some time commenting and +'ing on the streams of people you want to create relationships with.
Finally take advantage of the communities by Interacting there.
As for circles – there are advantages for circles. You can create circles just for amplification as you can turn the volume up and down by circle. Circles by interest can allow you to target event invitations properly (splaying invitations without regard to interest is not appreciated). No one can see which circle you have put them in.
Communities do not replace circles. A shared circle usually has carefully selected members. Community members are more often open to chance. Note there are also Google Plus "groups". These are forums set up to discuss product questions and solve technical issues. If anything, the tech Q&A forums might morph but I would expect circles and communities to remain. For now, I think all 3 serve distinct purposes.
Linda, great article. Google+ communities is actually how I found this article. Adding to your thoughts, Google+ is fully integrated with its other Google products, something Facebook cannot do. I list out the quick features here: http://digitalwhining.com/insight/guest-post-summary-nima-co-5-tips-to-use-google-for-biz/#more-378
In my article with my colleague, we talk about reasons why so many people in the media industry are not speaking against Facebook: http://digitalwhining.com/insight/digital-whining-hangout-tech-blog-revolution/
Wait, who says no on is on Google+?
I get a post in my feed almost every 2 minutes.
This article is a joke
Thank you Rain. I see on your About page that you are a student. I think it is very exciting that so many students are on Google+. You've obviously taken the time to circle people you find interesting and enjoy your feed. I enjoy mine too.
Dorie's statement that "no one is on Google Plus" is not literal. It speaks more to the feeling that people and brands aren't instantly finding the engagement they have built to elsewhere…. so it FEELS like no one is on Google+.
I get tired of people saying that Google+ is empty, and the Media seems to perpetuate this myth. I understand that people feel this way when the first start out, but if the headlines keep saying it, those who don't build their network are going to believe the myth, and go back to their comfort zone.
Sorry, but it feels literal. Especially when used in the headline.
Thank you for writing this article, I think it's clear it is not aimed at people who already have got to grips with Google+ with lots of people in their stream.
It made a lot of sense if I were to send this to one of my friends who doesn't understand why you would use G+!
Wow, getting out of your comfort zone by switching social networks. So brave.

Final: Redskins 42, Bills 17. It was as ugly as the final score. The Bills did very little right in this one, allowing the most points the Redskins have scored in 91 preseason games. The game showed that head coach Chan Gailey has a lot more work to do in trying to whip this group into shape. The Bills don't have much time to sulk as they are back on the field next Thursday against Peyton Manning and the Colts in Toronto.
Halftime: The Bills' starting offense picked up where it left off last preseason when it failed to score a touchdown. The patchwork offensive line had something to do with that, but it was mostly due to poor execution. The defense didn't fare much better, but was its own worst enemy with penalties. No doubt Chan Gailey won't be happy when he watches the film of this first half.
8:17 second quarter: Another Redskins possession, another Redskins touchdown albeit against backups. This is looking like some of the Bills' past preseason openers.
14:07 in the second quarter: Three huge mistakes by the Bills. First, Aaron Maybin gets called for roughing the passer (a questionable call) that sparked a Redskins touchdown drive. Late in the first quarter, Trent Edwards tries to force a ball into Lee Evans and it gets intercepted by DeAngelo Hall. Edwards was flushed from the pocket and should have thrown the ball away. The last error was on linebacker Andra Davis, who was called for illegal contact on third down. The Redskins punch it in to take a 14-3 lead.
7:29 in the first quarter: Lindell kicks 38-yard field goal for first points of the game. Should have been more, but tight end Jonathan Stupar's holding linebacker Rocky McIntosh nullified a 19-yard run by Marshawn Lynch to the Redskins' 3-yard line.
7:44: Good first series for the Bills' defense. Pass coverage was tight.
7:20: Look for rookie running back C.J. Spiller to get a lot of work tonight in the backfield and returning punts.
6:58: Here are the lineup changes for the Bills. Some you know already -- LT Jamon Meredith starting for Demetrius Bell, RG Cordaro Howard replacing Eric Wood and RT Kirk Chambers subbing for Cornell Green. Also, Kawika Mitchell starts for Paul Posluszny at inside linebacker next to Andra Davis, while Chris Ellis starts at strong side linebacker in place of Chris Kelsay.
This is a huge opportunity for Ellis, who has barely played in his first two seasons. Also out for this game are TE Derek Schouman, DE Spencer Johnson and LB Keith Ellison. Ellison and Kelsay returned to practice this week, but were being held out for precautionary reasons.
6:30: Greetings from FedEx Field in Landover, Md. After more than two hours of internet problems we're finally up and running. Just learned that quarterback Brian Brohm will not play tonight. Once Trent Edwards leaves, Ryan Fitzpatrick will come in followed by rookie Levi Brown.
Don't read too much into Brohm being a healthy scratch. Had coach Chan Gailey is concerned there might not be enough snaps to go around and he wants to make sure give Fitzpatrick and Brohm get an equal amount of plays in order to evaluate them fairly. So Brohm will play only if there is an injury to one of the other QBs.
The plan is for Brohm to be the second quarterback after Edwards and Fitzpatrick will sit when the Bills face Indianapolis next Thursday in Toronto.

Foundation has grown quickly
The Hillsboro Community Foundation has probably already exceeded expectations for many people, including its founders.
Think about all of the money in the form of grants from the foundation's investments that has helped area groups and organizations fund their mission and operations. This is the fifth year grants have been awarded with a total exceeding $40,000.
Now HCF has a new website that tells the story. It can be found by going to hillsborofreepress.com and clicking on the HCF tile at the top of the home page. Or you can go to hcfoundationks.com.
One of the great things about living in a small rural community is our natural instinct to trust people—almost to a fault. We'd like to be able to trust everyone, but life experience and common sense dictates that we be prudent, wary and on-guard at all times.
"Just because you saw it on the Internet someplace doesn't mean it's true." The preceding quote was attributed to Abraham Lincoln.
I will be receiving my first Social Security check this week. At least I am under the impression that I will. It was tempting to start at an earlier age, but that meant limits on how much one could earn without a reduction in benefit, so I opted to wait until that's no longer an issue.
I'm not sure if I should be happy about the check or sad that the system is going broke but will pay me anyway. True, I have paid into the system since I was 13 years old and haven't missed paying in for the 53 years since.
I will still be paying in as long as I continue to work and receive a paycheck.
I've started making it a practice of thanking the younger workers for sending me a check each month. Truth be told, it is the younger group that needs more help than I do.
Former budget director David Stockman, under President Reagan in the 1980s, was on the Cavuto show recently and said something will need to be done to keep Social Security solvent. One of his suggestions was means testing to determine how much each person should be receiving. He would also apply means testing to Medicare. I wouldn't have any problem with that.
I haven't heard any numbers in that regard so I don't know if I would be affected or not. I don't consider myself rich financially, but feel very rich and blessed in many other ways.
All I know is that something needs to be done—sooner rather than later.
Football has finally ended and I am glad. We can now turn our attention to basketball, golf and Daytona.
Another tragedy hit the music world this past weekend, as I'm sure everyone has heard by now. I had always been a fan of Whitney Houston, whose pure voice was like none other.
Again, everyone is asking why do things like this happen, where someone who seems to have everything can make lots of bad choices and fall so far.
If you want to hear how our national anthem should be sung, go to YouTube and search for the 1991 Super Bowl national anthem sung by Whitney Houston. It was flawless—unlike many others who, in my opinion, make a mess of it.

State Senator Leland Yee on Wednesday announced the launch of an online voter registration system at a press conference in Redwood City.
Yee authored the measure allowing eligible California voters whose signature is already on file with the Department of Motor Vehicles to submit their voter registration forms to county elections offices electronically by visiting RegisterToVote.ca.gov.
Californians voters have until October 22 to register for the November election.
Yee said the measure comes in stark contrast to controversial voter ID laws in Pennsylvania and Ohio, among other states aimed at reducing fraud, according to their proponents. Opponents say these measures are really voter-suppression drives disguised as laws that target problems that doesn't exist, and will have the intended effect of keeping minorities and the poor away from voting booths.
"This is an incredibly exciting day for California and for our democracy," Yee said. "While some states are suppressing the rights of voters, here in California we are proudly increasing participation."
Yee said the online registration system is an example of ways government can bring more voters to the polls, noting that just 44 percent of eligible California voters participated in the 2008 presidential race. He said six million eligible voters haven't yet registered.
"As a model example of a democratic government, it is embarrassing that our voter participation rates are as low as they are," Yee said. "We need to find new ways to increase voter participation and I am hopeful that making it easier to register will help get more people involved."
County election officials say the plan will reduce costs and eliminate administrative errors. Arizona, which implemented a similar program five years ago, reports a decrease of up to 83 cents per registration, and a savings of more than $1 million alone in Mariposa County.
"Everyone wins," San Mateo County's Chief Election Officer Mark Church said.
"Senator Yee's law will not only increase voter registration, it will increase the accuracy of the registration information, and reduce election costs."
