Michael Jackson's Kids Sit Front And Center At X Factor's "Thriller" Night
Nov 30, 2011 09:30 PM
Michael Becker/Fox
The Jackson family were treated to front row seats as the X Factor celebrated the music of Michael Jackson with a "Thriller" themed night, on Wednesday.
Prince, Paris and Blanket were joined by grandma Katherine and uncles Jackie, Tito and Marlon, as they watched the seven remaining contestants pay tribute to the King of Pop by belting out a few of his mega hits.
Coincidentally, tonight also happens to be the 29th anniversary of "Thriller," which includes hit singles "Thriller,†"Billie Jean,†"The Girl Is Mine,†and "Beat It.†The record is still the best-selling album of all time, with over a 100 million copies sold worldwide since its 1982 release.
In other Jackson news, a verdict was finally reached this week in the manslaughter trial against Dr. Conrad Murray, who will serve the maximum 4-year sentence for inadvertently killing the singer.
Katherine told KTLA after the verdict was announced: "Four years is not enough for someone's life. It won't bring him back but at least he got the maximum. I thought the judge was very, very fair and I thank him."

By Andra Bryan Stefanoni
Globe Staff Writer
JOPLIN, Mo. —
There are as many faculty members at Adrianne Elliott's university of choice as there are people in her hometown of Galena, Kan.
But the Southeast Kansas girl says she feels at home on the campus of Yale, which since the early 1700s has attracted the likes of such famed thinkers as Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin, Thornton Wilder, playwright and author, as well as actors, actresses and presidents.
Its 11,000 students come from all 50 states and from 108 countries, taught by a 3,200-member faculty.
"When I started looking at colleges, I wasn't sure where I was going, but I was a Gates Millenium Scholar and that gave me options as to where I could go to school, financially speaking," said Elliott, who attended elementary and junior high school in Riverton, Kan., and graduated in May 2012 from Thomas Jefferson Independent School in Joplin. "It was exciting to look around, but when I finally started narrowing down my list, I was looking for smaller schools where I could really explore my interests."
A fan of the humanities, she had written for her school newspaper and literary magazine, and was interested in law and political science.
"And then there was Yale." she said.
She was accepted in December 2011 through an early application process and visited in April 2012.
"I fell in love with it," she said. "The people were welcoming. I loved the campus. Everyone I talked to was so amazing. I just felt like it was the right place for me."
Influential university
Yale's roots can be traced back to the 1640s, when colonial clergymen led an effort to establish a college in New Haven to preserve the tradition of European liberal education in the New World.
A charter was granted for the school in 1701, "wherein Youth may be instructed in the Arts and Sciences (and) through the blessing of Almighty God may be fitted for Publick employment both in Church and Civil State."
It survived the American Revolutionary War intact. Graduate and professional schools established in the 19th and 20th centuries made Yale a true university, including the Yale School of Medicine in 1810, the divinity school in 1822, the law school in 1824, the graduate school of arts and sciences in 1847, the art school in 1869, the music school in 1894, forestry and environmental studies in 1900, nursing in 1923, drama in 1955, architecture in 1972 and management in 1974.
Elliott began coursework in August, and although she hasn't yet declared a major, she's thinking about pursuing an education in and career in political science or global affairs.
"It's just been a really amazing experience. It's surreal. I've been to a big debate featuring Rick Santorum, and when I walked into my suite one day, John McCain was standing outside," she said. "It was like, ÔWow!'"
Making the grade
She's a staff member for the international affairs magazine Globalist -- which is written, edited and published entirely by undergraduate students -- and last semester became a William F. Buckley Fellow.
"The group is an honor given to conservative students. Right-wing students who are dedicated to creating a diverse intellectual thought across campus," she said. "We bring in all kinds of speakers. This past fall they had Dinesh D'Souza, who spoke about his documentary that came out last year, ÔObama's America 2016.'"
"I really feel like I've been put in an amazing place where I can take classes from amazing people and learn so much," she said.
And learn she has: Elliott received straight As her first semester at Yale -- something she was told was impossible.
Although Elliott is not yet a member of any of the numerous "secret societies" on Yale campus, she did attend a few meetings of a "semi-secret society."
"It was fun at the beginning of the year to see what was going on, all the cloak and dagger stuff," she said.
Since starting college in August, she's been able to return to the Four State Area for Thanksgiving and Christmas. She returned to Yale last week to begin the process of "shopping for classes."
"Here, we get to visit them and decide whether they fit our interests. We're still doing that," she said during a phone interview. "I think it's a nice system to figure out what you want to do."
Her biggest challenge?
"I think getting used to being away from everything I knew -- family, friends back home. It's all about making your own world and your own system of friends. That has been the biggest challenge," she said.
Adrianne's mother, who stays at home with the Yale student's five younger siblings, and father, an electrician, still live in Galena and are able to stay in touch with their daughter using Internet and cellphone.
"Skype comes in very handy when you're this far away from home," she said.


text: working on the 25 posts curt thanks for the nice reply most forums would have thrown me to the dogs. Now on to my question can I hook up the subs on the lsi to the same place that I had the 404 hooked to just use a Y adapter or is there another way that I need to hook them up in order to get the most out of these wonderful speakers. Thanks

Imperial Wizard/President Frank Ancona, of the Traditionalist American Knights Ku Klux Klan based in Park Hills, MO, said his group was asked to come to Arnold.
See previous article: KKK Lawsuit Persuades Arnold to Allow Flyers on Vehicles
"Sometimes we get requests from residents and members in the area because of drug or crime problems," he said. "I believe the Arnold request was made because of a crime against a child in that town. The Klan has a severe issue with crimes against children."
Ancona said the group, based in Park Hills, MO, recently conducted a drive in Desoto, Mo, because someone had requested its presence because of another reported crime against a child. He added that the group also gets frequent calls regarding drug problems in communities.
"We want the local people to know we're keeping an eye out for these crimes," he said. "We hate these drugs and what they are doing to our children. We do not hate other races, but we look out for our family."
Ancona said the group had planned on conducting a drive in Arnold this past weekend, but members decided to reschedule the visit because of the city's ordinance banning the placement of flyers on vehicles.
On Thursday, the Arnold City Council agreed to allow the KKK to place flyers on vehicles in spite of the city's law banning the practice. The American Civil Liberties Union—on behalf of the KKK—served the city an injunction requesting that it rescind the ordinance to allow KKK members to place literature on vehicles without penalty.
Rather than challenging the action, which could have resulted in a lawsuit, the council agreed the city would not enforce its law against KKK members until the measure can be amended.
Stay tuned to Patch for further details.

As the presidential campaign heats up so will the debate over the role of immigrants in our economy and our communities.
That has been an ongoing conversation in Lewiston-Auburn for the past 10 years and a hot-button topic in southwestern border states for decades.
But the controversy will likely get louder as Mitt Romney and Barack Obama debate two current subjects.
First, in 2010 the Arizona legislature passed the toughest anti-illegal immigrant law in the land. Last week the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a controversial provision of the law allowing police officers to ask people for immigration status documentation.
But the court also struck down two other provisions allowing police to arrest and hold illegal immigrants and another section that would have prevented illegal immigrants from seeking jobs.
Second, the DREAM Act would give conditional permanent residency to people who arrived illegally in the U.S. as minors. They could eventually obtain citizenship by fulfilling certain military obligations or by obtaining a college degree.
To be clear, much of the upcoming debate will be over illegal immigration. Too often, however, many Americans seem hostile to immigrants in general.
Two recent reports, however, suggest immigrants will be critical to sustaining our economy as our native-born population ages.
The Fiscal Policy Institute, a New York State research group, reported June 14 that more than one sixth of small business owners in the U.S. were not born here.
The data is drawn from the 2010 Census and American Community Survey.
Those immigrant-owned small businesses, with fewer than 100 employees, employ 4.7 million Americans and had total receipts of $776 billion.
A host of studies have found that immigrant Americans are more likely to be entrepreneurs than native-born Americans and to seek Small Business Administration loans. The SBA reports immigrants are twice as likely as native-born Americans to start a small business.
One study in 2008 found that half of Silicon Valley start-ups are founded by immigrants.
New arrivals from other lands are particularly over-represented in the high-growth industries requiring mastery of STEM subjects: science, technology, engineering and math.
What's more, 76 percent of patents from America's top universities have a foreign-born inventor.
While immigrants are over-represented in hard sciences, they are, as the study notes, "more likely to be found on Main Street than in a technology park."
Thirty-seven percent of restaurant owners are immigrants, as are 49 percent of grocery store owners and 54 percent of laundry and dry cleaning firm owners.
That finding is reinforced by a broader report released in March by the Brookings Institute showing immigrants are clustered in both high-skill and low-skill jobs in our economy.
As more Americans obtain high school degrees, technical training and higher education, immigrants are filling jobs in agriculture, in manual labor and as maids and restaurant workers.
In 1994, 72 percent of American workers without a high school diploma were U.S.-born. By 2010, they made up just 48 percent, according to the Brookings report.
Immigrants fill nearly one in four jobs in information technology and high-tech manufacturing. On the other hand, they make up about half the workers in private households and in the accommodation industry.
Immigrants are also over-represented in health care, where they fill not only the most highly skilled positions as surgeons, but as hospital orderlies and laundry workers.
In most industries like construction, native-born Americans are more likely to serve as managers, supervisors and in skilled positions such as carpenters, plumbers and electricians.
Ninety-seven percent of farmers and ranchers are native-born, while 60 percent of their workers are not.
The important message in the statistics is clear and should not be confused in the upcoming debate.
As our native-born population ages, and as the U.S. birth rate declines, our economic self-interest depends upon welcoming young, ambitious, talented students and workers from abroad.
The opinions expressed in this column reflect the views of the ownership and the editorial board.

One of California's few inns on the National Register of Historic Places! Now Reduced but still offered with COMPETITIVE BANK-FINANCING!
A LUXURY Wine Country Inn & Day Spa commanding the gateway to California's celebrated Wine Trail – and ideally situated within one of Monterey Peninsula's delightful "sunbelts" --, the elegant Hiram Corey Mansion was built in 1891 as the main residence of the Corey family who owned the 8,444, fertile riverside acreage known as Rancho Las Palmas. More recently, in 1978, the landmark was added to The National Register of Historic Places.
After year 2000, the magnificent four storey, 7,414 square foot Queen Anne Victorian became carefully and intelligently restored by experienced hospitality professionals before it opened as Chateau Coralini Retreat and Spa. The European-style hospitality property boasts nine oversized guest suites, state-of-the-art commercial kitchen, various conference, dining and business meeting rooms, full wine cellar designed for lavish entertaining and generous, separate entry owners' quarters -- all within the main residence. Commercial elevators today serve the Mansion's four storeys, and a rear ramped entry now adds important handicap access and conveniece.
Detached period-style structures also found within the fully-gated, 1.59 acre parcel include an upscale day spa/salon, charming Princess Anne children's playhouse, hidden garden shed and special events gazebo with its own separate gated entry. Towering ancient shade trees dominate the well-manicured verdant lawns that, along the west, are framed by tall, protected forests of dense evergreens. Over two dozen, off-street, "marked" guest parking spaces are grouped and carefully interspersed within the expansive, gated grounds.
Interior amenities exude elegance, comfort and serviceability. All bathrooms, including those found in the owners' quarters, sport the latest in high-end fixtures, jet tubs, walk-in showers and TOTO water-conserving commodes. Each guest suite offers its own individual climate control panel and flat screen while many provide a sunny, writing desk placed within a private bay window alcove. Regulation sprinklers and smoke detectors are installed throughout.
Yet, original period architectural details, such as turrets, decorative exterior siding, bay windows, fireplaces, door frames remain respectfully in place; wonderfully wavy window glass panes – always hallmarks of historic architectural integrity -- encased by original wood sash frames and "balances" also remain carefully preserved within the famed refuge.
Today's Hiram Corey Mansion offers the best of both worlds -- past historic charm and luxurious ambience of a rich, by-gone era combined with contemporary comfort and essential guest conveniences.
This important landmark further benefits from an ideal year-round temperate climate and perfect proximity to top Monterey "Wine Trail" vintners, world-class golf at Pebble Beach, celebrated Carmel-by-the-Sea shopping / dining, internationally-recognized Silicon Valley corporate headquarters and, of course, the entire San Francisco Bay Area. Chateau Coralini's location provides guests with a direct 25 minute drive to Carmel and Monterey Bay; easily accessed from US-101, California's major North / South corridor, guests enjoy convenient proximity to both Silicon Valley (1.5 hour drive) and San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge (2 hour drive).

ALISON LADMAN,Associated Press
Associated Press
— SALEM, Mass. - For the first time in memory, "Vacancy" signs are up in Witch City on Halloween.
Hundreds of thousands of people visit Salem every October for its "Haunted Happenings" calendar of spooky events and attractions. Crowds typically peak on Halloween, itself, when downtown streets and sidewalks are clogged with creatures in costume.
But, as of Tuesday, rooms were available throughout Salem, including in some of its most iconic inns.
"I've never seen it before," said Juli Lederhaus, general manager of the 93-room Hawthorne Hotel, which had more than a dozen vacancies. "I've never seen this kind of wholesale cancellations."
Hurricane Sandy, of course, was the reason. The storm that blew through Monday forced some guests to leave early and prevented others from arriving. New York and New Jersey - especially hard hit - are among the city's top tourist markets.
Cancellations came from in Florida, Texas and California, as well as Canada and Spain. A city official said several group tours also cancelled.
The storm provided unexpected opportunity for others, including an Italian couple who seized on a cancellation at the Henry Derby House, said manager Lisa Marchand. And the weather wasn't expected to affect most of the haunted houses, restaurants and other events attractions.
"I have prepared for what I think is probably going to be a pretty crowded Halloween," said Salem police Capt. Brian Gilligan. He had lined up 150 officers from the region as well as motorcycles, bike patrols, K-9 units, mounted patrols and tactical forces to work tonight.
"I'm leaving things the way they are," he said. "It's better to be safe than sorry."
Tom Dalton writes for The Salem News.

DURHAM — A scheme that had hired tow trucks being used steal cars over 10 years old from Durham owners and sell them to junk yards led to charges against a man whom sheriff's deputies are seeking, they said Tuesday.
Terryon Lamont Mceachin, 23, of 2307 Kristy Place in Durham was wanted on charges of obtaining property by false pretense for selling the cars and larceny of motor vehicles for the thefts, authorities said.
Deputies also want to arrest him on previous outstanding charges unrelated to the car case, including identity theft and fraud, they said.
A Durham County Sheriff's Office spokesman, Dep. Paul Sherwin, said investigators did not believe the tow-truck operators hired in the scheme knew what was going on, and they are not being charged.
The scheme involved Mceachin's stopping at a home where he saw a car more than 10 years old in a yard or driveway and offering to buy it, Sherwin explained.
If the owner agreed, Mceachin would say he was going to get money for payment, but then come back with a hired tow truck and have the vehicle hauled to a salvage yard, where he would sell it, Sherwin said.
The scheme worked, Sherwin explained. because a portion of state law allows vehicles over 10 years old to be sold for salvage or recycling without a certificate of title, so the dealers to whom Mceachin sold the cars did nothing illegal.
What salvagers do have, however, is records of those buys, and that led detectives to Mceachin, Sherwin said.
After the sale, Mceachin would pay the tow-truck driver and keep the rest of the cash he got, Sherwin said.
Deputies asked that anyone with information about the car scheme or Mceachin's whereabouts call the sheriff's crime tip line at 919-560-0940 or Durham CrimeStoppers at 919-683-1200.
CrimeStoppers pays cash rewards for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of persons wanted for felony crimes, and callers never have to identify themselves.

Not the presidential election, which Republicans still seem unable to accept. It's a lot like the Civil War; it has taken more then a century for the South to admit defeat. Please take note: slavery is banned. I wish we could say the same about assault weapons, the filibuster, the death penalty, war, weapons of mass destruction – and Newt Gingrich.
I know you have your own wish list of prohibitions, but I'm just saying . . .
The Republican list includes social welfare programs, such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, abortion rights, equal pay for women, the minimum hourly wage – they would rather pay two employees $4.5 an hour each, than pay one $9.00! Republicans would add to their list: taxes on businesses, universal healthcare, any curb on military spending – and President Obama.
For now, the Liberals won, folks! You can rewrite the scoreboard however you like, by redistricting, limiting voting hours, electing Tea Party Governors – sticking out your tongue and showing us your middle finger. It won't do a bit of good, not for the next couple of years. Before the mid-term elections, Republicans had better change their game plan. Obstruction and just saying "no" is not a winning strategy.
The sad fact is, the Republican Party, including the Tea Party, is doing its best to diminish the effectiveness of the conservative argument. Republicans have forgotten their prime objectives: to limit the size of government, create jobs, and reduce the national debt. Many Democrats, myself included, would love to trim the waste, close tax loopholes, bring our troops home, protect our borders, rebuild our infrastructure, and better educate our children – goals we may have in common with Conservatives. At least we would be arguing about our mutual problems, instead of wallowing in social engineering, and cheering for each other's "team."
It isn't a game. But, right now, it's Republicans vs. Democrats – and the Conservatives are loosing.

The dog park is such an added bonus!! I spent alot of time there with my dog. Also, the grounds are well kept. Read More If I had any maintenance issues, they were always delt with in a timely manner. And, last three location is ideal, right across the street from a nice Park.

I gave Fairway Apartments the rating that I did due to how things progressed while we lived there. During our Read Morefirst year of residence, we had a wonderful experience. The complex was clean, quiet, and were taken care of in a timely manner. We felt safe and secure at all times. Unfortunately, at the end of our first year, we received a new Office Manager and things started to change. There were unpleasant smells in the hallway, garbage in the parking lot, and numerous cars were vandalized.

When It's Gone It's Gone, an online one-of-a-kind store, is selling this Royal Navy ejector seat that's been fitted with legs for use as an office desk-chair. Not sure what the ergonomics are like (I assume that a pilot's seat has to be at least moderately comfy, though!), and as for price, it's a strictly "make an offer" affair.
Our Martin Baker Mk6 ejector seat for sale, originally used in a Royal Navy Buccaneer, has been fitted with a stainless steel frame, transforming it into the unique seat it is today! Complete with original 'chutes, harness and eject handles, the seat is guaranteed to turn heads in the office or look great at home!
The Mk.6MSB was fitted to the Buccaneer jet used by both RAF and Royal Navy. This seat in particular was fitted to XV157 which flew first with the Royal Navy from '66, including operating from the aircraft carrier HMS Eagle (where its was coded 107/E) and RAF squadrons from '69. XV157 was sadly scrapped in '91, at which point this seat was removed and converted to a training seat.
The ejector seat has been kept in its original authentic condition to preserve its' history; parts are original to the chair, including straps, parachute, seat cushion and handles. Paintwork has been kept as the original. Rockets are present - including pitch rockets - minus cartridge and propellant.

That's silly. But safe.
humanresource says:
Redundancies are about to get a whole lot quicker and less painful…
Jon Sowden says:
Apart from anything else I love the stark, functionality of it. And the Buccaneer is quite lovely a/c.
(By the way, my understanding is that they're quite remarkably UNcomfortable. The padding is pretty much non-existent, because the forces of ejection would tend to break pilots even more if there was much give. But that's ok, because they're typically occupied by highly motivated, very fit young men doing what they love, and who don't mind a numb arse if it means they get to fly the world's best a/c)
professor says:
Placing it under the office skylight and telling prospective job candidates to sit in it ("Are you properly strapped in? Ok, let's start.") has the potential for a very entertaining interview!
Bob Rossney says:
Good idea to double-check and make sure that the propellant's really gone.
teknocholer says:
"Good idea to double-check and make sure that the propellant's really gone. "
Indeed. Back in the 60′s my father worked as an air traffic controller in London, Ontario. A young woman who worked with him managed to get an ejector seat from some RCAF jets that were being scrapped, intending to use it in her apartment. The propellant had been removed, but someone had neglected to remove the cartridge that ignited it (a blank rifle cartridge IIRC). As she was cleaning the seat on her balcony, she tugged at a wire. Lost two fingers.
HairySammoth says:
I can confirm that these things really are very comfy. I seem to remember that it'd be a bit more reclined than the average office chair, though – you might have to reach for your keyboard a bit. Not exactly easily adjustable, either.
nosehat says:
Ejector seat office chair, huh?
Perfect for a wall street executive if the peasants get a little too unruly! Does it come with a golden parachute?
SedanChair says:
"This meeting is over! And Richardson, I want those figures sent to my phone before I get down past the 15th floor!"
*rip* BANG *CRASH**foomp*
retepslluerb says:
I'm pretty sure that HP is going to be quite interested.
teapot says:

This is Royal Navy we're talking about, so I don't think that's a totally safe assumption.
But who cares? It's the most badass seat ever.
Brood-X says:
A fascinating cold-war relic but I would suggest that an office adornment like this would tend to diminish confidence in executive leadership. What message does this convey other than "when the going gets tough I'll bailout."
Lobster says:
Great way to exit a meeting.
Stephen Young says:
Couldn't they have come up with something better than the bathroom grab bar base?
Mister44 says:
I don't think it would be that comfy, especially since it doesn't look like it moves reclines at all. But it would kick ass to play flight simulator games.
Fun fact – I have a bolt that holds in the seat of an SR-71. Hmm – maybe BB can help me. The bolt exterior is a shiny chrome. The threads are gold colored. I thought it might be real gold to help insure a good connection for the bolt explosives. But the gold color just doesn't look right to be real gold. Any idea what it could be made of?
teknocholer says:
Titanium nitride? That's the gold-coloured stuff used to plate drill bits and other tools.
I don't know why threads need to be treated that way. Maybe the bolt is removed and replaced a lot. But "titanium" always sounds cool.
Mister44 says:
It DOES make everything sound cooler. I had titanium glasses that lasted FOREVER.
Anyway – no that can't be it. Making threads extra hard would just wear out what it is screwing into. Looking at it, and I can't find any bolts with threads made of the stuff. They have some where the head and/or shaft are plated. Also, I found out they make AR-15 bolt carriers with the stuff.
I was hoping some air plane mechanic/nut might chime in.
Also cool about it – the bolt has its own serial number.
carl Martin says:
Perhaps it's a chromate conversion coating used to inhibit corrosion. It has a distinctive yellow color.
In Google we trust…
V says:
Still looks more comfortable than the office chair I have now.

Metabones Canon EF to NEX Adapter
- Condition:
- Used 8.5/10
Serial number MNEX-EF-04
The Metabones Sony NEX camera to Canon EF lens 1st Generation Smart Adapter allows you to mount any Canon EF-mount lens to compatible Sony NEX E-mount cameras and camcorders. What separates this adapter from all the others is it provides electronic communication between the Sony camera and Canon lens. It gives full control of aperture when shooting in A and M exposure modes, or lets the camera control aperture if shooting in P or S exposure modes. Not only do you have aperture control, but it's also imbedded in the EXIF data. The Metabones adapter also supports the Image Stabilization function of compatible lenses, allowing you to shoot at slower shutter speeds and help eliminate camera shake.
The adapter itself is powered by the camera, so no additional power source is needed. It has a metal barrel construction, with both mounts being metal as well. Since the aperture blades change as you make adjustments, there is a "wide open button" which functions as the opposite of a depth-of-field preview button.
This copy is in great condition and functions flawlessly.
This item is guaranteed to be as-described, but is sold as-is with no warranty. However, we offer a 3-day inspection period on all sales, during which time you may return the item for a refund of the purchase price, not including shipping. Return Policies and Warranty Information »

By Mark Gaughan
The Buffalo Bills have voted on their team captains for the 2012 season.
They are quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, running back Fred Jackson, defensive tackle Kyle Williams, safety George Wilson, punter Brian Moorman and fullback Corey McIntyre. Two on offense, two on defense, two on special teams.
Moorman is Buffalo's longest-serving captain at seven years. Wilson, one of the team's obvious locker-room leaders and their union representative, is a defensive captain for the first time. He has been a special-teams captain in the past.
Fitzpatrick and Jackson are in their second seasons as captains.
Each player will have a "C" affixed to his uniform. Their responsibilities will include assisting in the on-field communication with the game officials.
In May 2007, the NFL introduced the team captain initiative with the purpose of supporting and recognizing the importance of team leadership. The initiative has been strongly endorsed by the NFL head coaches and by the six-member NFL Player Advisory Council that was established by Commissioner Roger Goodell in conjunction with the NFL Players Association.

This is what we know for sure 41.2 percent of the way into this NFL season.
It's a tip drill, anyone can go up and grab it.
(Unless your team name rhymes with "Schmleveland Clowns" of course.)
Seven weeks in and we have no clear front-runner, nobody even close. Every team has significant liabilities.
Atlanta is the lone undefeated team in the league, but the Falcons' frequent postseason flame-outs make them a giant question mark until January. With one of the league's worst defenses, Baltimore is relying on Joe Flacco to carry them, and that excites only Joe Flacco. Green Bay's defense is also suspect. New England nearly lost at home to the Jets yesterday and nearly dropped to 3-4. Houston has to prove it over the long haul and lost its defensive captain (Brian Cushing) for the season.
The AFC is particularly mediocre, what with just two teams entering play yesterday with winning records.
Which brings us to the Pittsburgh Steelers ... right back in the thick of it.
Last night's 24-17 victory in Cincinnati was much more impressive than the final score, as they rolled up a 431-185 advantage in total offense. This one was two Ben Roethlisberger turnovers and three Mike Wallace drops away from being a 35-10 rout.
Jonathan "Bus Jr." Dwyer resembled Jerome Bettis for more than just that little head waggle after a big gainer, he also piled up 122 yards by running straight through the middle of the line. Imagine that!
Antonio Brown continues to gallop around the field Gangnam Style, gathering in seven receptions for 96 yards and always appears to be one slick move away from breaking away.
Heath Miller is playing the best ball of his career, which is saying something, because he has been money since his rookie season. Especially when they actually throw to him.
And the "cramp play" by Emmanuel Sanders? Oscar-worthy.
The defense? Well, remember that "significant liabilities" thing? The Steelers got virtually no pressure on Andy Dalton, who never had to pick his Spock-like eyebrows up off the turf.
James Harrison looked old. He got a whiff on the stat sheet — no sacks, no tackles, no nuthin'. Other than his gift interception, LaMarr Woodley was a nonfactor. At least Ike Taylor played better.
There were a few other concerns, such as why can't this team play smarter?
There was no reason for Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis to be able to challenge Wallace's first-down catch late in the game, Roethlisberger should have quick-snapped the ball the moment everyone got set. Tom Brady would have run two plays in the time it took for Roethlisberger to drag his feet, giving Lewis the chance to throw the red flag.
And what's with the frequent penalties on returns? The Steelers often look as if they are Angry Birds on special teams, running around and hitting everything indiscriminately, hoping for something to fall. Keep it up and Brown or Chris Rainey are going to get a touchdown return wiped out in a big moment.
But in today's NFL (Nothing's Foreseeable League), that amounts to nit-picking.
Go ahead and review the Black-and-Gold's long list of deficiencies, and then compare them to every other team in the conference. Playing a three-quarters complete game like the Steelers did last night might be enough to challenge for the AFC's berth in the Super Bowl.
Indeed, if the running game can sustain anything near that kind of production (especially if Maurkice Pouncey comes back and stays healthy), if Troy Polamalu comes back and stays healthy, if Wallace can start playing like a guy who is playing for a big contract and if the Ravens continue to self-destruct, it is not hard to imagine the Steelers playing in Houston for the Lamar Hunt Trophy on Jan. 20, 2013.
Or, after RGIII comes in and lights up Heinz Field on Sunday, you can simply resume looking at mock drafts again.
(Steve Treu covers the Steelers for The News.)

I mistakenly thought the term 'Youth' in 'Eilat Youth Hostel' was a generic one that applied to travelers in their 20s (like the author of this comment). On the contrary, 'Youth,' as used in the name of the hostel, refers to groups of swarming 13-14 year-old Israelis and Brits, the better part of which seemed engaged in a night-long orgy of a water-gun fight, fueled by energy drinks, sugar, and newly-discovered desires. If you have already passed through puberty, consider another hostel.

The hostel was very clean and in a convenient location. It had a great breakfast, which was included. The pricing was fair, and was worth the money spent. Overall, we enjoyed our time here. However, the reception desk was, at times, unwelcoming. They seemed to be bothered by our asking questions. They were very unknowledgeable about local activities, and some of the employees refused to make phone calls to inquire about local activity prices, etc.

The system of having one key to share amongst 4 female guest in one dormitory is burdensome when the last person arrives late at night and does not have his own key he knocks on the door to be opened by one of the other 3 who have already fallen asleep. What is the rationale? to save on the cost of some additional keys ? Security? how ? I have been in the last 4 years in over 40 hostels and have not encountered such inconvenience. I do not wish to open the door for another guest and viersa

By DAN HEATH and ASHLEIGH LIVINGSTON
---- — PLATTSBURGH — Incumbent Republican Janet Duprey easily defeated Conservative Party candidate Karen Bisso and Democratic challenger Timothy Carpenter in the race for the 115th State Assembly District.
The unofficial totals on Tuesday night were 19,219 for Duprey, 9,563 for Carpenter and 8,235 for Bisso, with one district left to report in St. Lawrence County and 15 in Franklin County as of midnight.
"It feels good, folks. Thank you," Duprey said to her supporters at West Side Ballroom.
She said this was the worst campaign she's been involved in in 37 years in politics. Duprey said it was nice to see the person behind that effort do so poorly, obviously alluding to Bisso.
"I have never been in such a nasty campaign as the one that's been tossed at me this year," she said.
Duprey said her large margin of victory was due to her sticking to a positive message, that she wanted to show her family it is possible to stay positive and succeed and not have to bow down to bullies.
She called a number of family members to join her at the podium.
"When people ask me why I was doing this again, this is why," she said.
She said she has worked hard in her time in office and will continue to do so.
"I'd like to think (the win is) a recognition that I work hard and in a bipartisan manner," Duprey said.
Carpenter said he was grateful for everyone who supported him during the campaign and on Election Day. He said it has been a positive experience, even in defeat.
"There are pluses and minuses to both winning and losing," he said. "I explained to my kids that it doesn't hurt to take chances."
He said all the candidates realize the need to improve the economy, create more jobs and get more people back to work.
On the plus side, he said, he gets to work toward those goals as he continues to serve on the City of Plattsburgh Common Council.
"I would have missed my work with the city," he said.
Carpenter said it was a clean campaign, on his part.
"You don't get anywhere by being negative," he said.
Bisso told the Press-Republican she is very proud of all of the work she and her supporters did throughout her campaign.
"I go to bed every single night thinking that I did the very best job that I possibly could," she said. "I tried to touch as many people as I possibly could.
"I didn't have the money that Janet had," Bisso continued at Meron's bar in Plattsburgh. "I didn't seek endorsements like Janet did. I didn't take money from special-interest groups as Janet did, and I tried to do it totally grassroots and totally clean."
Bisso said she is not sure if she will ever run for office again, as she feels the political process she was subjected to wasn't moral or ethical.
"I'm incredibly disgusted with the political-party system in Clinton County and even in the other counties," she said.
Bisso said she thinks people were intimidated into not supporting her and was told some weren't allowed to sign or carry her petitions.
"There was intimidation, there was strong-arming, there was corruption, and we stayed above the fray and did everything that we could to make sure that we didn't tackle any of that stuff and that we just stayed pure to our message and to the people."
Duprey defeated Bisso and David Kimmel in a Republican Party primary in September.

I am on my way away from this blog once again. But occasionally I may throw out a post anyway. I have been taking a closer look at my financial situation and it was worse than I thought. Surpise. So I won't be able to buy many new polishes in the near future, because I really need to sort this mess out first.
This is an old polish I wore many years ago. I like getting around to wearing the oldies again. I have one thick coat on top of white (Zoya - Purity) and then top coat. It's very shimmery and lovely. Lots of regular glitter in what looks like a white base, but I know you can layer this over any other colour you want. The first time around I layered it over pink. Very bad pic though. Very bad indeed. Not that it was easy getting a good one of this polish, but these new ones are better.

Saturdays NYC Interview
Surfing, Living and Working In New York
When it comes to making a positive impact from a cultural perspective it is hard to look beyond SATURDAYS. Since opening their doors in the summer of 2009 the retailer has developed into an established name far beyond its initial outlook. With surfing, living and working the cornerstone of the full fledged label, it is not hard to see how SATURDAYS have opened a new space in Tokyo with great success. No matter what your perception is of SATURDAYS, you can only appreciate their vision and values which make them a refreshing entity. I caught up with Morgan Collett, one third of the labels founders to talk about their roots, to fashion, to the new store and of course surfing.
James Oliver: Can you please go into a bit of detail about how SATURDAYS NYC started?
Morgan Collett: We started SATURDAYS because there really wasn't anything like it in Manhattan. I grew up in Southern California and surfed my entire life. Surfing was all we did as kids, the surf shop helped raise us. It was an incredible time for me and we felt like that was missing from NYC. Surf culture was popular but the way it was represented in NYC did not speak to any of us. We all surfed as much as we could here in NYC and it really was confusing when spring would roll around and all the stores would throw up surfboards in their windows. One of the biggest moments for us is when the DKNY wall on Broadway and Houston was changed to a Hollister wall. My partners and I all worked in fashion at the time and when this happened it was pretty crazy. The DKNY wall was a NYC staple for over two decades and then it was gone, to be changed to a "surf brand" owned by Abercrombie & Fitch. We couldn't relate and desperately wanted to create something that would have the ability to combine surf culture, style, fashion, NYC, with a lifestyle we could associate ourselves with. So, we began talking about it over the month of June in 2009 and through opportunity and excitement we opened our doors in August of the same year. Basically we closed our eyes and went for it.
JO: What is the concept of the store and brand?
MC: The concept of the store initially was to be a fully functional surf shop. There were no surf shops in the Manhattan area and so we wanted to create one. In the beginning it was exactly that. Boards (or however many we could afford to carry) third party clothing brands, coffee, and gear (wetsuits, leashes, wax, fins, etc). Over the course of the first year it grew organically with t-shirts then quickly into a full ready to wear collection for men. We all had backgrounds in men's fashion sales, design, and publishing. I don't think we could have planned it, it just kept happening and we kept working our ass's off. With the development of the brand we really wanted to incorporate the feeling of the store into a line of clothes that people could relate to. Now SATURDAYS is an idea you can feel when you walk into the store. The entire store is SATURDAYS apparel and slowly we are developing more categories. Eyewear, shoes, etc. We want to make clothes that men can wear, that can be timeless and exude a sense of style we like.
JO: What does surfing mean to you?
MC: To me, surfing is the purest enjoyment. I've surfed since I was six years old and still it's all I think about. Even this morning skating to work down Mott Street I look up at the fire escapes that line the buildings and pretend I am getting barreled. My mind is always there even if I can't make it to the beach for a month.
JO: It seems like you are aiming to create more of a culture around surfing, living and working rather than purely clothing. Can you go into a bit of detail about this?
MC: We basically wanted to develop something that incorporated everything we were into. We all skated a bunch, surfed, snowboarded, which was our base, but we also live in NYC, which was a huge addition for us. This city is incredible and there are people from all over the world here, people trying to make it in basically every realm imaginable. Art, music, fashion, photography, hotels, production, movies, accounting, stock trading, I mean this city has it all. It's impossible not be to influenced or inspired when you come here, we wanted to build all of that into SATURDAYS.
JO: Can you explain the clothing you make in your own words?
MC: We wanted to create a collection/ brand that focused on craftsmanship, authenticity, and traditional style. We took a lot of inspiration from the 50's and 60's, the dudes of endless summer, and our own personal style. We wanted to create a brand we could wear. Clothes that we could feel comfortable living our lives in, whether at the beach or in the city.
JO: For a young label, opening a store in Tokyo makes for a profound step in your short history. What does this mean to you and what can you expect from the space?
MC: Japan has been a country that has supported us since day one. It was a buyer from Japan that came into the shop wondering if we had t-shirt's to sell. We have a very special place in our hearts for Japan. Opening a store in Tokyo is surreal for me. For all of us. Last time we were in Japan I think every few hours Colin, Josh, and I would look at each other and whisper "We're in Tokyo" with a big smile. The opening means, even in a short time, dedication and hard work can pay off. The space is going to be incredible. I am not sure when this will be published, if the store will be open or not, but you can expect something incredible. Don't know how much to give away here. Wow, the more I think about it the more excited I get.
JO: How will the store provide balance to the store in New York?
MC: I think that as different as the two stores will be, there will be an over all synergy to both stores. When you walk into the store in NYC we wanted people to get a feeling. Tokyo will offer that same feeling. Both Tokyo and NYC are such incredible metropolitan cities. We want to embrace Japan's surf culture along with their City culture, similar to what we have done in NYC. I think we have and will accomplish this with SATURDAYS in Tokyo.
JO: What direction do you see SATURDAYS NYC going from here? Both short and long term?
MC: Short term, we have to make it through 2012. So many awesome things are happening and with some cool internal projects, people are going to be really stoked. I hope. We just need to keep organized and buckle down. I think we can sleep sometime in August haha. Long term we want to continue to focus on design, quality, and development. We are happy with where the brand is right now and we want to keep it there.
JO: Finally, words to live by?
MC: "Once you realize that it's up to you, and only you, you can accomplish anything."

August 2, 2014
AUSTIN, Texas - Switchblade knives would become legal to carry under a proposal advancing in the Texas Capitol.
Houston Democratic Rep. Harold Dutton presented House Bill 1862 to the Texas House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee on Tuesday.
Under current law, switchblades appear on a list of prohibited arms with explosives, machine guns and chemical weapons. Many states banned the knives in the 1950s, when films such as "Rebel Without a Cause" portrayed young men fighting with them.
In recent years, a national group called Knife Rights has campaigned to overturn some of the bans. Knife Rights spokesman Todd Rathner told the committee that switchblades are now legal in 30 states.
Dutton, who's a Houston Democrat, has told The Associated Press he plans to use the bill to open a larger debate about gun control.

More than 450 professional and lay leaders, funders and camper and staff alumni from seven overnight camps, three day camps, and Israel programs—all proudly bearing the name Ramah—came together at The Jewish Theological Seminary on Sunday, October 14, 2007 to celebrate 60 years of Jewish camping. The "Onward from Sixty" conference and celebration was underwritten by a generous grant from Phyllis and Ab Flatt of Toronto, Canada.
The Ramah Camping Movement currently serves over 6,500 campers and 1,500 college-aged staff members each summer, and has touched tens of thousands of lives over the past 60 years. Professor Arnold M. Eisen, the new chancellor of The Jewish Theological Seminary, stated in his keynote address that "Ramah is one of the most successful endeavors the Conservative Movement has ever created, because at Ramah we can create Jewish time and Jewish space, without interruption from general society." Chancellor Eisen continued, "We need to take the lessons and patterns of Ramah and extend them to many other aspects of our Movement, to inspire more commitment, more passion, and more Jewish pride."
Panelists included (l-r) Ab Flatt, Jerry Silverman, Julie Beren Platt, Harold Grinspoon, John Ruskay, Peter Geffen
Programs throughout the day featured discussions on a wide range of topics, including Israel programming, leadership development, the educational mission of Ramah, special needs camping, and research studies on the impact of Ramah on the Jewish attitudes and practices of college students. Trinity College researcher Dr. Ariella Keysar presented her extraordinary findings about the significant impact of Ramah on college students, noting that Ramah graduates are three time more likely to date only Jews, four times more likely to attend synagogue services, and three times as likely as the general Jewish population to spend significant time in Israel. At another session, presenter Dr. Joseph Reimer of Brandeis University, a Ramah alumnus, urged the audience to encourage the best and brightest of the Conservative Movement to consider becoming future directors of Ramah camps.
In addition to camp reunions, dinner, singing and Israeli dancing, the conference featured a panel discussion entitled "Investing in Ramah: Our Extraordinary Past and Dreams for the Future." The discussion was moderated by National Ramah Director, Rabbi Mitchell Cohen, and National Ramah Assistant Director, Amy Skopp Cooper. Rabbi Cohen stated that "Ramah camps, through their integrated systems of formal and informal Jewish educational experiences, inspire young people to become more committed to Judaism as a culture, a religion, and as a way of life."
Panelists included philanthropist Harold Grinspoon and the president of the Foundation for Jewish Camping, Jerry Silverman. Both encouraged federations, foundations and funders to give more generously to Jewish camping, which is now recognized as the most effective vehicle for building strong Jewish identity. Another panelist, Dr. John Ruskay, a Ramah alumnus and currently the executive vice president and CEO of the UJA-Federation of New York, urged the Ramah leadership to maintain and strengthen Ramah's religious and educational core values. Peter Geffen of Kivunim, also a Ramah alumnus, emphasized that an extraordinarily large percentage of North American professional Jewish leadership shares a Ramah experience.
Reunion of campers and staff from Camp Ramah in the Berkshires, Wingdale, NY
The day culminated with a screening of "Ramah: Transforming Lives," a newly-produced short film, as well as in-house entertainment from Ramah alumni who have gone on to become professionals in theater, music and opera.
Throughout the day, Ramah alumni from 60 years reunited and told stories of the great impact that Ramah has had on their lives. In one touching moment, the president of Camp Ramah in California, Julie Beren Platt, whose husband Marc Platt is the producer of the Broadway show Wicked, became acquainted with Caissie Levy, a member of the current Wicked cast on Broadway and a former camper and staff member at Camp Ramah in Canada. As Julie met and embraced Caissie, soon to be the lead in the Los Angeles production of Wicked, they both commented that their Ramah connection made this very special.
Conference co-chairs included Morton M. Steinberg, Chair, Board of Trustees of the National Ramah Commission, Inc.; Rabbi Mitchell Cohen, National Ramah Director; Amy Skopp Cooper, National Ramah Assistant Director; and Dr. Jeffrey Kress, Assistant Professor of Jewish Education, The Jewish Theological Seminary.
Ramah is the camping arm of Conservative Judaism. Ramah programs operate under the educational and religious supervision of The Jewish Theological Seminary.
