NORTON, Mass. — Tiger Woods lost his FedEx Cup point lead. Sergio Garcia just lost it.
No, Sergio didn't show up at TPC Boston dressed head to toe in yellow like he did for the final round of the British Open at Hoylake. That was the July day in 2006 when Tiger took Sergio's lunch and, after lifting the Claret Jug, reportedly texted a friend, "I just bludgeoned Tweety Bird."
On this Labor Day, Sergio settled for a bright yellow shirt to go with his black pants for the final round of the Deutsche Bank Championship. And while it would be uncharitable to say the shirt may have camouflaged the yellow streak running down Garcia's competitive backbone, sadly it would not be entirely inaccurate.
"He's choking," NBC analyst Johnny Miller said as the Spaniard kicked away his two-stroke, 54-hole lead with the only over-par round among the top 20 finishers at this FedEx Cup playoff event won by Henrik Stenson. Miller called it a total collapse, although Garcia would eliminate that adjective "total" with birdies on two of the final four holes.
"Collapse" would suffice.
Only six players in the entire field finished worse than Garcia's 2-over 73. And what makes the number so stark is the fact that Garcia continued his string of final-round hatchet jobs.
Garcia has a 69.96-stroke average before cuts this year. First two days, he's eighth best on the tour. He also entered with a final-round average of 72.33, 165th on the tour. We could argue Sergio always folds on Sunday, but as this event demonstrated he's not immune to Monday, either. Despite all the birdies surrendered on this rain-dampened course, when the average round was 69.97, he couldn't even be average.
Stenson, who won a nifty $1.44 million at minus-22 and inched ahead of Woods heading into the final two events of the Fed Ex Cup, shot a 66. Jordan Spieth — put this 20-year-old on the Presidents Cup team, Fred Couples! — finished birdie, birdie, birdie, eagle for a 62 and a fourth-place finish tied with Garcia and two others at minus-17. Nobody on the big blue media tent leaderboard, in fact, shot worse than 70. Except Sergio.
"I just wasn't comfortable," Garcia said in his brief remarks afterward. "I wasn't able to trust myself as I did the first few days."
Although a morning start had been delayed by rain, Monday stood to be the sunniest of Garcia's year of discontent. The day stood to bring Garcia his ninth PGA Tour victory, tying his idol, Seve Ballesteros. More than that, it stood to give him some joyful distance from the fallout over his idiotic attempt at humor in May about Woods at a European Tour dinner.
Garcia has apologized publicly and profusely for saying he would "serve fried chicken" to Woods at the U.S. Open. The two shook hands. Garcia put a written letter of apology in Woods' locker before the U.S. Open at Merion. And while Woods sounded satisfied Garcia was contrite, Garcia has struggled with the fallout. Until Deutsche, he hadn't had a top-20 finish since those remarks.
"The summer has been tough," Garcia had said earlier in the weekend. "I'm trying hard to keep doing the right things. It's been a good learning experience. I think you always have to try to take the positives out of all those things and learn from your mistakes. And hopefully make you a better player, a better person."
Garcia looked so confident with his opening rounds of 65, 64 and 65. Afraid he could miss the FedEx cut of 70 golfers for the BMW Championship, Garcia has eschewed his usual Deutsche week off and played his fifth successive event. If fatigue was getting to him this weekend, he certainly didn't sound concerned after a terrific third round. Evidently, it wasn't enough for him to awake from his final-round nightmares.
Look, the PGA Tour playoff isn't the Super Bowl or the Final Four. It's not the Masters or any of the majors. But the events do have giant $8 million purses and bring together golf's biggest names. The Cup pays a whopping $10 million to the eventual champion. There's a legitimate level of excitement.
A win would have moved Garcia into third place and into a perfect spot to take a shot at the $10 million. His response? He three-putted No. 2. After a lousy tee shot, he bogeyed No. 4. After a birdie on five, he bogeyed No. 7 and came back after an afternoon rain delay to push a short putt on No. 9 for his fourth of five bogeys. Garcia not only went out in 39, he already was out of the winner's circle. With due respect to Miller's back-nine "he's choking" remark, Garcia already had.
"It was hard, but I tried," Garcia said. "I still tried as hard as I could the last four holes and I think I played [them] quite well."
Woods' young daughter, Sam, wore a red-and-black outfit on the course that matched her daddy's colors. Beyond that, little else looked right for Woods. He had nothing. He putted terribly, finishing 65th, 18 strokes behind Stenson.
"It wasn't my week," Woods said.
Save his strong Ryder Cup team performances, those same words seem to always ring familiar for Sergio when everybody is watching. Drift back 14 years. Remember that delightful 19-year-old kid at the PGA Championship at Medinah? Remember the crazy recovery shot from the trunk of a tree when he went sprinting up the fairway, scissor-kicking, to follow the ball's flight to the green? We all loved him. We thought he'd battle Tiger for majors for years to come. And remember how cute it was when Martina Hingis, then his girlfriend, followed Sergio when he played TPC at River Highlands in 2002?
But he also celebrated like he'd won the Masters after beating a flu-battered Tiger at Bighorn in 2000. Then he complained that if Tiger had been on the course when he had, they would have stopped the 2002 U.S. Open at Bethpage because of rain. He wasn't so lovable to a lot of folks on this side of the pond.
All these years later, Garcia, now 33, is still without a major. When he ended the 2012 regular season by winning the Wyndham Championship, he seemed to have a head of steam. He had four top eights in his first eight tournaments in 2013, but the eighth also brought a meltdown. Tied for the lead with Tiger, he dumped two shots into the water at No. 17 in the Players Championship. TPC Sawgrass had been the site of his greatest victory in 2008, yet now it became symbolic of all that has gone wrong for Garcia over the years. Tiger won. Sergio complained that Woods had pulled out a club during his backswing in the third round, causing the crowd to get loud and distract him. Tiger said Sergio is always complaining about something. Days later, Sergio made his lousy joke. And while Tiger has let it go and most folks have, too, on a day when Sergio stood to do something special on the golf course, he could not let go of the horror of his final rounds.

Southern California grocery strikes and disruptive innovation
Here's a story we're following closely at SCPR/KPCC: the possibility of a strike by grocery workers in Southern California: 62,000 of them, who work at Ralphs, Vons, and Albertsons stores. Over the weekend, the United Food and Commercial Workers union voted to authorize a strike -- which isn't the same thing as going on strike. But it does set the stage.
The last time there was a strike, in 2003-04, it didn't go well for the the major unionized chains. This from the LA Times:
The drawn-out negotiations has area grocery workers nervously recalling the bitter debate over wages and healthcare benefits that led them to the picket lines seven years ago. In fall 2003, the labor dispute led to a contentious 141-day strike and worker lockout that affected hundreds of California grocery stores.

My brother is looking to turn his Toshiba Satellite L505-ES5018 into a Hackint0sh, but he's unsure of all the hardware compatibility. I've tried doing some research on the hardware, and can't find any info on people trying it with this model, or even the full specs of what internal hardware this system has.
The little information I've found on Toshiba machines is that their wireless card is not supported quite yet.
Anyone have any information they could pass along?

The North Carolina Department of Transportation is moving forward with its plans to complete the 540 Outerloop around the greater Raleigh area, but before officials go any further, they want the input of the estimated 52,000 residents who could be affected.
Monday evening, hundreds of concerned home and business owners from Apex to Knightdale packed two large conference rooms on the campus of Wake Tech Community College.
The NCDOT sponsored the event, which featured an informational video of the Complete 540 project, as well as enlarged maps detailing in different bright colors where the proposed routes would go.
NCDOT representatives also were standing by to answer questions and patiently listen to residents' concerns.
"It could eliminate some traffic, but I'm just hoping it's not my area to be honest," Garner resident Linda McNelty said as she stood next to a long table covered in maps. "I don't want to be selfish, but I'm just hoping it's not going to be my area."
The northern section of the 540 Outer Loop is I-540, running from I-40 in Durham County to US 64/US 264 Bypass in Wake County. At issue now is the southern section, called the "Triangle Expressway."
So far, the NCDOT has only built a portion of the Expressway, beginning at I-40 in Durham County and ending at the NC 55 Bypass in Apex.
NCDOT officials say they have seen continued growth in ridership and received positive feedback from drivers who are now able to save 20 to 30 minutes on their commutes.
But confusion remains on the expansion because the different routes have changed multiple times over the years after federal government input, environmental surveys and continuing studies.
"We're going to spend a lot of money that the government doesn't have to study something that makes absolutely no sense," Russ Owen said. The "Red Route," which crosses the land between Lake Wheeler and Lake Benson, would affect his home in Garner.
"Traffic-wise, it makes no sense to build the 'Red Route' because it's north of the Clayton bypass, which is always backed up," Owen added.
Outside the building, Nikki Shifs took a break from the crowded event with her husband, stepson and friend.
"The 'Blue Route' goes right through my property," Nikki Shifs said as her husband pointed out their house shaded in blue on a map on his cell phone.
"But I'd much rather have it go through my house than next to it," Shifs added. "Several of my friends are in that position.
"It'll ruin the value of their homes when everyone else moves away," Shifs said. "Not to mention, they'll have the noise from the traffic."
Regardless of the route chosen, the end result will be the state's first modern toll road, opening in 2022. Construction is set to begin in 2018.
The NCDOT will host two more informational sessions:

States Slash Home Health Care & Services for the Neediest
States Slash Home Health Care & Adult Day Care Services for the Neediest; Likely to Increase Costs
Republished with permission from HelpingYouCare.com.
Several reports recently have noted that across the nation, U.S. states are slashing Medicaid dollars for home health care services and adult day care services that help keep the elderly and disabled out of nursing homes. State lawmakers cite budget shortfalls, yet these cuts may end up costing Medicaid and taxpayers more in forced nursing home costs, authorities say.
According to a July 16 report by the Associated Press, "Aging and disability services in three out of four states have been reduced over the last two years or face cuts, even though demand is increasing."

The Massachusetts Recovery website was recently ranked by Good Jobs First, a national independent organization, to be in the top 10 in the United States.
In the area of accountability, the Governor has also made the prevention of fraud waste and abuse a major focus. Agencies responsible for handling stimulus funds attended a mandatory training on November 13, 2009, on how to improve their fraud, waste and abuse prevention efforts. Along with being provided with a fraud, waste and abuse prevention toolkit, agencies were made aware of existing fraud, waste and abuse reporting mechanisms, including state and federal hotlines and the online reporting available at www.recovery.gov. This training, and the information that it provided, was the result of unprecedented cooperation between the Massachusetts Recovery and Reinvestment Office (MassRRO), Attorney General, Inspector General and the Comptroller.
Over the past several months the MassRRO has continued its work with the STOP Fraud Task Force - a group of representatives from state and federal oversight agencies created by the Massachusetts Attorney General. Through the STOP Fraud Task Force, stimulus oversight activities are being coordinated at both the state and federal level to ensure the broadest possible coverage. In recent months several members of the task force, including the Massachusetts Inspector General and the State Auditor, have begun proactive oversight of stimulus projects in the Commonwealth. This oversight is designed to ensure that every stimulus dollar is being spent appropriately and in accordance with all state and federal requirements.
The Commonwealth is also proud of its ongoing work with the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Massachusetts is one of 16 states that have been selected for quarterly reviews by the GAO. These reviews run the spectrum of ARRA projects and programs and will continue throughout the life of the stimulus program. The information gathered by the GAO is being compiled into quarterly reports that are submitted to Congress and made available to the public. These reports provide yet another layer of transparency and accountability to the spending of stimulus dollars.
Created January 29, 2010. Information provided by the Recovery & Reinvestment Office.

Happiness lies not in the possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. -- Franklin D. Roosevelt
In his opinion piece, "A Formula for Happiness," in The New York Times Sunday Review Dec. 15, Arthur C. Brooks, president of the American Enterprise Institute, a public policy think tank in Washington, D.C., wrote, "Along the way, I learned that rewarding work is unbelievably important. That's what research suggests as well. Work can bring happiness by marrying our passion to our skills, empowering us to create value in our lives and in the lives of others."
Over the last 25 years I've gone into high school and middle school classrooms throughout Fairfield County to do improvisational theater classes and workshops, as part of the prevention programs I run for Liberation Programs Inc. I am very passionate about my work; tapping into what I consider one of our great natural resources: The energy, enthusiasm and natural creativity of young people.
I believe that creativity can be encouraged, fostered and strengthened and that the improv classes and workshops help students get in touch with their creative muse, illustrate their talents, feel comfortable being spontaneous and provide an opportunity for them to better express what they are thinking and feeling. Improv is a personal and exciting way for the students to express themselves; it teaches specific life skills, while encouraging freedom of the imagination.
Through theater games and exercises, the goal is to teach personal, social and communication skills that will hopefully help them handle the pressures, stresses and challenges they face. Students learn the value of flexibility, concentration, observation, communication and teamwork.
Improvisation is about honest discovery, observation, reaction and being in the moment. It teaches you to be less rigid, free yourself up and be more spontaneous; it gives you the opportunity to let go, and helps strengthen the imagination.
I wholeheartedly agree with Elizabeth Swados, playwright, director and teacher, that theater is a healing art. It's laughing and creating laughter; an opportunity to play without embarrassment, what we used to do as kids.
During a recent visit to Cloonan Middle School in Stamford, I had a brilliant time doing improv with Dr. Moulketis' eighth-graders. The highlight was when the pop group Marcos and the Potatoes created a song -- with three girl back-up singers and cool dance moves -- about modern love. The class was in hysterics.
There's nothing better than seeing kids tap into their creative potential and find their voice. The energy and magic is always in the here and now. There are many opportunities to affect lives; the more opportunities we give kids, the more kids we'll be able to reach.
Another opportunity I've been able to provide students at several local high schools is to be part of a peer-to-peer support group. From 2008 to 2011, I co-facilitated the Leadership Group, a peer-to-peer support group, at Central High School in Bridgeport and witnessed countless success stories, testament to the power of peers helping peers. If it could work at one high school, I figured it could work at others.
Steve Karjanis, social worker, and Dave Gordon, school drug counselor, started the group in 2005 with two students; by 2010, there were more than 400 students attending one of the 20 groups offered each week.
The Leadership Group's mantra was: "Harnessing the power of peer influence to effect positive change." The students looked forward to the group; it was a chance to express themselves in a place where no one was going to judge them.
In the groups I now co-facilitate with a social worker, the students have said that talking and letting things out is a great help and just knowing that someone actually cares is a big help, too. The power of the group to effect change in their lives is clearly evident, as is the good feeling they get from helping one another.
They feel comfortable getting things out in the group; it's a safe haven. They're with people who care and understand what they are going through. You can be open; people listen to you and give you encouragement. Getting encouragement from kids their own age is vital. The challenge is to help them understand the impact of their decisions on their lives and their futures. Read Full Article
On a daily basis I am fortunate to have the opportunity to meet and work with so many bright and talented young people, in middle schools and high schools, throughout Fairfield County.
After the Royal Wedding on April 29, 2011, Elton John said, "It was needed positivity, in a world that doesn't really have much."
My work with young people -- improv workshops, peer-to-peer support groups, prevention presentations, trips to our rehabs -- is extremely rewarding and always gives me a needed hit of positivity.

Do you want to call your daughter Jan, too?
I think Hal & Jannie are adorable, as well as formal Harold and Janet. I do think Janette (with the emphasis on the -nette) has a little more panache than Janet, and I like Jeannette (which in English is pronounced nearly identically) even more. There's also Janelle, which might (obliquely) pull in a little bit of Lillian.
However, as nice as Janet is, I like Claudia infinitely more. The long, dignified history of the name vastly outweighs its literal, ancient Roman meaning. For sheer va-va-va-voom I don't think you can beat Claudia DeMerle. It exudes 40s Hollywood glamour. If Hal seems too friendly next to Claudia, what about Lottie, or Laudy?Blade, MD

Funny you should select Jane Valentine, because for a long time, that was the front-runner. However, we have a Jan, Jean, Joan, and several Johns mixed into our family tree, and I wanted a name that would clearly honor my mother, Jan. To me, even though I love the name 'Jane', it could be in honor of any of the above, whereas 'Janet' is more directly linked to Jan. (Yes, I know this is still a feminine version of John too.) Hopefully that explanation makes sense.
April 25th, 2013 04:57 PM #29
It sounds to me like you really love your choice - Janet Valentine - and you want to use it. Go for it! As others have said, there is nothing wrong with the name Janet - it is familiar, easy to spell and pronounce. I think the reason that some see it as dated is because there are a lot of people in our parents' generation named Janet, but that doesn't make it a bad name. Family names are so nice - I am sure your mother would be really honored and happy if you named your daughter after her. I was named after my grandmother, and it is a very special connection.

Some participants in Susan G. Komen for the Cure events, like this run in San Diego, have reconsidered their support in the wake of a controversy over Planned Parenthood funding this week.
Fierce controversy over a policy that cut -- then apparently restored -- funding for Planned Parenthood by the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast-cancer charity has left some longtime supporters of both groups feeling whipsawed by the fallout.
Fans who've worn pink ribbons and jogged in Race for the Cure runs and those who've supported women's reproductive health services had mixed reactions following news Friday that Komen had agreed to amend criteria that would have barred Planned Parenthood from future grants.
Some Komen supporters said the organization had alienated them forever by cutting funding in the first place based on perceived political pressure from anti-abortion groups.
"It's difficult for me to want to continue to support Komen now," said Peg Callaway, 63, a lawyer from Omak, Wash. "It makes me mistrust the organization."
As the Associated Press first reported Tuesday, Komen had adopted criteria excluding Planned Parenthood from future grants for breast-cancer screening because it was under government investigation, citing a probe launched by a Florida congressman at the urging of anti-abortion groups.
The decision was made in December, but became public this week, igniting a firestorm of protest. By Friday, Komen appeared to back off the plan, saying it would fund existing Planned Parenthood grants, and that the agency would be eligible for future grants. Some critics said it wasn't clear how the decision actually would affect future grants.
Still, Callaway remained suspicious.
"They've done a lot of damage to themselves," she said.
Others, however, said that Komen's quick reversal made them want to give an agency another chance. Dina Lalli-Bender, 47, of Laurel Springs, N.J., said she participated last year in a Race for the Cure event in Philadelphia in memory of close friends and family members lost to breast cancer.
"I'll continue to do the run now," said Lalli-Bender, a senior manager at a trade show labor firm. "Now that they've changed their minds, maybe they've seen that people were outraged by it."
But avid Komen supporters who had been cheered by what they saw as a strong stand against Planned Parenthood were dismayed that the agency appeared to back off.
"I was very disappointed to hear that the decision was reversed so quickly," said Rita C. Hruschak, 69, a retired nurse from Webster, N.Y. "It was barely warming up the griddle. The hope for a positive change to some good morals was lost too soon."
She pointed to Planned Parenthood's huge base of support -- including $3 million and 10,000 Facebook fans raised during the three days of the controversy -- as evidence that the agency could fund breast cancer screenings on its own. Planned Parenthood previously had received about $700,000 a year from Komen.
"So you know, they don't really need Komen's help or support," she said.
In an informal msnbc.com poll Thursday, more than 6,000 respondents considered whether the controversy would alter their donations to either group.
Some 73 percent of people of took the poll said it would increase their donations to Planned Parenthood, while about 17 percent said it would increase funding to Komen. Nine percent of respondents said they don't donate to either group.
Only 1 percent said they'd continue donating to both.

Northern Lehigh's Darien Middaugh took the opening kickoff, burst through a hole up the middle, then cut down the left sideline for an 82-yard return for a touchdown in a Week 1 win over Southern Lehigh.
That's how my Colonial League regular-season coverage began.
Bangor's Brett Albinson dropped back to pass and was immediately flushed from the pocket. Scrambling left to avoid a pair of Pen Argyl linemen, he heaved a ball to the back left corner of the end zone. Shavaughn Morris was there waiting to make his first catch of the season on the last play of my Colonial League regular-season coverage.
From start to finish (though Notre Dame and Wilson have a game left), it was a wacky, unpredictable 2012 season.
Here are some of the highlights and observations on the eve of the District 11 and Eastern Conference playoffs:
So much for balance: I said on more than one occasion that the league would be as balanced as ever in 2012, that no team would go unbeaten. Well, not only did Catasauqua finish 10-0, but coach Tom Falzone's club was a touchdown away in one game and an extra point away in another from mercy-ruling the schedule. The Rough Riders were fantastic, outscoring opponents by a whopping 434-69 score.
A great way to finish 10-0 for the first time since 1995 and win the league title for the first time since 1996.
Pain and success: Bangor's Phil Vass, Pen Argyl's Mikey Racciato and Catasauqua's Ra'Von Burton are three of the league's most talented offensive players. All three battled through injuries throughout the regular season.
Their teams' postseason success will depend in part on their health and ability to play through pain.
Out of nowhere, part I: Catasauqua's Zack Bradley, one of the league's nine first-year quarterbacks, became the league's best quarterback. He completed 59.1 percent of his passes — most of which were not dump-offs and screen passes — for 1,678 yards and a school-record 25 TDs. He threw just three interceptions in 159 pass attempts.
Out of nowhere, part II: Phil Vass wasn't even the projected starting Bangor running back in August. All he did was run for 1,501 yards in the first eight games of the regular season before an injury took him out two plays into a Week 9 game and forced him to be in and out the Slaters' Week 10 contest. If not for those injuries, he would be approaching 2,000 yards for the season.
Out of nowhere, part III: Nick Savant wasn't Saucon Valley's starting running back in the first couple of games this season. He finished with 1,222 yards rushing, including back-to-back 200-yard games the last two weeks.
Bad news for the rest of the league, part I: Bradley, Vass and Savant are juniors.
Bad news for the rest of the league, part II: The Rough Riders graduate only seven of 22 starters.
Big-time booting: While Northern Lehigh went through five kickers, Palisades, Saucon Valley and Catasauqua were fortunate enough to each have one standout.
Pirates senior Max Kroschwitz found his way to football only because his club soccer team didn't permit him to play high school soccer.
Panthers senior Nate Schriffert was part of Saucon Valley's success on the football and soccer fields.
And, while the Catasauqua soccer team struggled, sophomore Joe Harakal proved to be a valuable asset to the football program.
Kroschwitz and Schriffert set school records this season.
Harakal likely will be doing the same the next two years.

Newsday Editorial, 'Bush, House right on tax rebates to help economy'
'...President George W. Bush and House leaders were right to forge a quick compromise on a fiscal stimulus package aimed at averting or softening the looming economic crisis. The speed of the bipartisan compromise announced last week underscored the urgency of the government to act to stall a slide in the economy - and to show domestic and foreign markets, and American voters, that it is doing so...the Senate must show as much determination as Bush and Pelosi did in moving quickly to address the nation's worst economic crisis in a quarter century.' [1/28/08]
Ocala Star Banner (Florida) Editorial, 'Washington gets it together on stimulus, finally'
'With the $150 billion economic stimulus plan agreed to on Thursday, we Americans finally got two things we have long pleaded for from Washington: quick action and bipartisanship...The good news about the planned fiscal injection, which the House is expected to approve early next month, and which has President Bush's support, is that it primarily benefits the working and middle classes, those who have been most squeezed by the economic contraction... this plan does offer a little help to working families who have been long neglected by our economic policies. And for that, and for working together and working quickly, Washington deserves some applause.' [1/26/08]
News Tribune (Tacoma, Washington) Editorial, 'Stimulus, nothing but stimulus - and right now'
'The single most important ingredient of the economic stimulus package now before Congress is speed...President George W. Bush and the Democratic leadership of the House clearly understand this. Bush and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have already agreed on a measure that would put $100 billion directly into the pockets of American consumers and give businesses $50 billion in tax breaks for investing in job-creating plants and equipment. It's simple, and it promises to do the job.' [1/27/08]
San Bernardino County Sun (California) Editorial, 'Stimulus package needs fast action'
'...Congress and the White House are moving quickly and in a bipartisan manner on an economic stimulus package...The deal negotiated by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Republican leader John Boehner and Treasury Speaker Henry Paulson appears to be a good one. It's a relatively uncomplicated measure that would provide tax rebate checks to 117 million families and $50 billion in incentives for business to invest in new plants and equipment. The package should provide a stimulus to the flagging economy as intended. Simply knowing that such a shot in the arm is coming by late spring will encourage some needed economic optimism.' [1/27/08]
Jackson Citizen Patriot (Michigan) Editorial, 'Tax rebates could head off recession'
'It looks as though President Bush and Congress soon will pump some $150 billion into the faltering economy. Stumbling stock prices, rising unemployment and disappointing business results all hint at a possible recession...Today, the country needs this stimulus. Wise spenders will pay down debts or continue paying mortgages. Businesses should see a ripple effect from extra spending and from tax breaks. It should restore some confidence in the economy -- and confidence that Democrats and Republicans can continue solving problems together... We look forward to seeing Congress and the president complete their work quickly, and for checks to arrive in the mail within a couple of months. If this plan heads off a recession, it will have been a sound investment.' [1/27/08]
Appleton Post Crescent (Wisconsin) Editorial, 'Economic stimulus short-term solution'
'In a rare bit of bipartisan teamwork, House leaders quickly moved on a measure last week that would provide rebate checks to 117 million families and $50 billion in incentives to businesses to invest in new plants and equipment. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson says the rebates would pump $150 billion into the economy... If people feel the economy isn't going down the tank, they're more willing to spend or invest. For families, the rebates include an additional $300 per child, so a two-income family of four could ostensibly see $1,800 in the mailbox...A stimulus package that gets money straight into the hands of working Americans seems the quickest way to accomplish that.' [1/27/08]
Washington Post Editorial, 'A Stimulating Plan'
'The pact announced yesterday by President Bush and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is, in that sense, a pleasant surprise. Their negotiations swiftly arrived at a set of tax rebates that would, if promptly enacted, channel hundreds of dollars to individual low- and middle-income consumers. They also agreed on some business investment incentives that are less likely than the rebates to have a stimulative effect but are less damaging, in terms of the deficit, than other tax cuts the White House might have demanded...'[1/25/08]
Philadelphia Inquirer Editorial, 'Stimulus Package'
'President Bush and Congress came up with a welcome example of bipartisanship yesterday by reaching a deal to give the U.S. economy a financial booster shot...' [1/25/08]
Mercury News (California) Editorial, 'Economy Needs More than Rate Cut and Rebate'
'...it's nice to see a rare outbreak of bipartisanship in Washington, where the Bush administration and congressional leaders are cooperating to come up with a $145 billion stimulus package by mid-February. The anemic economy could use this one-time spending boost from tax rebates and tax breaks.' [1/25/08]
USA Today Editorial, 'Stimulus plan may ease pain, but it's no economic cure-all'
'Their stimulus package, unveiled Thursday, would put cash in the hands of the non-wealthy, slash taxes on businesses and take steps to ease the housing slump.... a moderately sized and mostly temporary package like this can be valuable when the economy is slowing. Given the possibility of a severe downturn, erring on the side of action is a prudent move to moderate the human misery. .. this fiscal package could flush money into the system and help forestall a vicious cycle of people cutting back on spending because of recession fears, which would cause the economy to slow even further.' [1/25/08]
Kansas City Star Editorial, 'A welcome boost for a weakening economy'
'With credit markets shaky and fears of a recession growing, the Federal Reserve wisely responded earlier this week with a dramatic cut in short-term interest rates. Given the current economic concerns, however, further action is required in Washington. The compromise package worked out between the House and the Bush administration moves in the right direction. The deal, announced on Thursday, promises to give the economy a needed boost through tax rebates and other measures...It is irresponsible for Washington to borrow more money when the economy is booming, as this newspaper has often pointed out. During more difficult and uncertain times, however, some deficit spending can be justified to pump up the economy and ease the strain on those who have only limited resources.' [1/25/08]

English clubs denied Europa wins
Stoke, Fulham and Tottenham were held in their opening matches of the Europa League group stage while Birmingham lost to last year's finalists Braga 3-1.
Italian giants Lazio were fortunate to escape with a 2-2 draw against Romanian side Vaslui in their opening Europa League Group D clash at the Stadio Olimpico.
Edy Reja's men played the last half-hour with 10 men following the dismissal of defender Luciano Zauri and had to rely on Giuseppe Sculli's 71st-minute strike to avoid deeper embarrassment.
Djibril Cisse's 35th-minute penalty had given the hosts the lead but a brace from Brazilian Wesley early in the second half gave Vaslui the scent of glory before Sculli came to the rescue.
In the same pool, Sporting Lisbon made a more impressive start with a 2-0 win over FC Zurich in Switzerland. Emiliano Insua opened the scoring after four minutes and Ricky van Wolfswinkel added a second.
Former European champions PSV Eindhoven relied on a piece of magic from Dries Mertens to nudge past visitors Legia Warsaw 1-0 in Group C. The Belgium winger lashed home the only goal of the game after 21 minutes.
Stoke were denied a winning start to their Europa League Group E campaign by Dynamo Kiev's late equaliser on a night with no wins for British or Irish clubs.
The Ukrainian hosts dominated the first 45 minutes and should have gone ahead midway through when Andriy Yarmolenko blazed wide with the goal at his mercy.
Having weathered the storm, the Potters took the lead 10 minutes into the second half when Cameron Jerome finished from Ryan Shotton's cross, but after Oleksandr Aliev had hit the bar for Dynamo, Ognjen Vukojevic made it 1-1 in stoppage time.
Ovidiu Herea's second-half strike was enough to give Rapid Bucharest a winning start to their Group C campaign at Hapoel Tel-Aviv.
Besiktas strolled to the top of Group E with a 5-1 triumph over Maccabi Tel-Aviv in a highly-charged atmosphere in Istanbul.
An inexperienced Tottenham side came through a nail-biting finish to leave the cauldron of the Toumba Stadium with a hard-fought goalless draw in the Group A clash against PAOK Salonika.
Carlo Cudicini was called upon to make three fine saves late on and Vladimir Ivic rattled the Italian's bar in stoppage time amid a white-hot atmosphere in Greece.
Lino missed a re-taken first-half penalty for the hosts while debutant Yago Falque twice went close for Tottenham and Harry Kane might have been awarded an earlier spot-kick after being brought down in the box.
It was a tough night in Group A's other game for Shamrock Rovers as the Irish side lost 3-0 to Rubin Kazan.
Obafemi Martins had opened the scoring at Tallaght Stadium after just three minutes and Christian Noboa made it 2-0 five minutes after the break.
Gokdeniz Karadeniz was the star of the show for the Russians and he capped a fine individual display with a sweetly-struck third on the hour.
Rubin striker Nelson Valdez had earlier seen a first-half penalty saved by Ryan Thompson, and Sergei Ryzhikov matched his feat to keep out Stephen O'Donnell's 64th-minute spot-kick.
Paris St Germain got their Group F campaign off to a strong start with a 3-1 win over Salzburg.
Nene opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 35th minute and Mathieu Bodmer doubled their advantage just before the interval.
Jeremy Menez made the points absolutely safe by bagging the third goal midway through the second half, rendering Ibrahim Sekagya's 87th-minute header little more than consolation.
In the same group, Athletic Bilbao grabbed a 2-1 victory at Slovan Bratislava.
Rising star Iker Muniain struck the winning goal as Bilbao secured a win that should help ease the pressure on new coach Marcelo Bielsa.
Teenager Muniain netted what would prove to be the deciding goal in the 40th minute, not long after Slovan defender Karim Guede had cancelled out Markel Susaeta's opener in the clash at the Pasienky stadium.
Hannover and Standard Liege played out a painfully uninspiring goalless draw in their Group B opener in Germany, while Morten Nordstrand's second-half penalty settled a low-key encounter in FC Copenhagen's favour as they edged Ukrainian side Vorskla 1-0 in Denmark.
Celtic's dismal European away record continued with a 2-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid in their Group I opener in Spain.
The Hoops were still warming to their task when Colombian striker Radamel Falcao met a Diego corner in the third minute to head past Hoops goalkeeper Fraser Forster.
Diego added the second in the 67th minute to leave the Parkhead men with one away win in Europe in 31 games ahead of Sunday's Old Firm clash at Ibrox.
In the same group, a late winner by Pablo Armero helped Udinese get over their Champions League elimination by Arsenal with a 2-1 win over Stade Rennes.
Youssouf Hadji earlier gave the visitors a deserved lead in the 18th minute and Udinese were fortunate not to fall further behind before Antonio Di Natale grabbed a 39th-minute leveller.
Mark Schwarzer's own goal meant Fulham and FC Twente drew 1-1 in their Group K clash at Craven Cottage.
The west Londoners dominated the encounter for the most part and broke the deadlock after Andrew Johnson flicked home a neat effort.
However, the Dutch outfit levelled before the break as Luuk de Jong's header bounced off a post and in off Schwarzer.
Birmingham's dream of making a flying start to their Group H campaign was brought crashing back down to earth as they lost 3-1 to Braga.
Last season's beaten Europa League finalists had too much class in front of goal to leave Chris Hughton's side with an uphill task already if they are to qualify for the knockout phase.
Two goals from Helder Barbosa, early in the game and again late on, sunk the Blues after Marlon King had offered the hosts a glimmer of hope following a controversial effort from Lima that had given the visitors a 2-0 lead.
Matias Suarez hit a hat-trick as Anderlecht thrashed AEK Athens 4-1 in their Group L opener in Belgium, while Schalke could not break through a resolute Steaua Bucharest defence and had to settle for a goalless draw in Group J.
In Group G, goals from Josmer Altidore, Rasmus Elm, Adam Maher and Brett Holman earned AZ Alkmaar a crushing 4-1 win over Malmo, whose consolation came from a 72nd-minute Daniel Larsson penalty.
Also in Group G, Ukrainians Metalist Kharkv hit back from a goal behind to win 2-1 away to Austria Vienna. Second-half goals from Papa Gueye and Cleiton Xavier cancelled out Tomas Jun's early effort.
In Group H Club Brugge beat Maribor 2-0 with early goals from Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe and Nabil Dirar, while Maccabi Haifa shrugged off a poor domestic campaign to edge AEK Larnaca via Mohammad Ghadir's only goal in Group J.
Danish side Odense swept to a surprise 3-1 win over Wisla Krakow in Poland and in Group L Lokomotiv Moscow came from behind to win 2-1 at Sturm Graz with goals from Victor Obinna and Dimtri Sychev.

Mila Kunis plays Theodora in Learn how to get Mila Kunis' makeup from the Disney's new film, "Oz the Great and Powerful"!
By Charleen Gonzalez for Shine Latina
Mila Kunis always stuns with her looks on the red carpet, and now we'll be able to see a majorly sultry side to the actress in her upcoming film, "Oz the Great and Powerful".
With smoky brown eyes and a bright red lip, anyone can recreate her character's makeup style. And with the help of Urban Decay's limited edition palette inspired by "Theodora the Witch", ladies have everything they need including 8 eyeshadows, a black pencil and a red lip color. Watch the video tutorial to learn how to steal the magical look!
Apply Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm as a base for your foundation and to minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines. Next, apply Urban Decay Naked Skin Liquid Makeup with Urban Decay's Good Karma Optical Blurring Brush to the face, and blend it down the neck.
Get Mila's look:
I used the Urban Decay Theodora Palette for this look, created just for the release of the "Oz the Great and Powerful". Start by applying a pale, cream satin shadow (Broken) along the brow bone and at the center of the eyelid. Then, brush a matte, warm brown shade (Beware) into the crease, extending the color upward and outward. Lightly apply a deep, metallic, brown shimmery (West) shade on the upper lid, intensifying it at the outer corners. Apply a dark, charcoal brown satin shade (Bewitch) at the outer corners and tightly along the upper and lower lash line.
Line the upper lashes with a black pencil; I use Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil, and flare it slightly at the outer corner. Smudge some of the matte brown shade along the lower lash line (Beware), blending it into the charcoal brown shade (Bewitch). Finish with your favorite mascara; I chose Urban Decay Cannonball Ultra Waterproof Mascara.
Get Salma's Oscar night look
To get Theodora's sultry red lips, line and fill in lips with Urban Decay Super-Saturated Lip Color in Theodora.
