In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, Atlantic City's casinos have been empty.
That has forced management to lay off workers, cut back hours and make some employees take unpaid leaves.
The city's 12 casinos closed for almost a full week following the storm.
They say even since reopening, business has slowed considerably.
Meanwhile, Gov. Chris Christie says New Jersey residents in storm-ravaged areas could soon see higher property taxes.
But he says, one of the exemptions of the state's 2-percent cap law is emergencies like Superstorm Sandy.
Because of this, towns can maximize their federal reimbursement for storm clean-up costs by contracting with a state-approved firm.

The boys basketball team at William Monroe is getting ready for a trip to the Siegel Center. The Greene Dragons face Northumberland on Friday night at VCU in the Division 2 state quarterfinals.
Monroe brings championship experience to Richmond, even though this is their first state berth since 1995. Dragons head coach Mike Maynard just led the school's baseball team to a state title last spring, and their roster includes five players who were on that championship team.
"Baseball last year, we obviously were in states so some of these guys have experienced it, some haven't," said Maynard.
"I think it'll definitely help us. I mean, we went there before, it was a close game, and we managed to pull through last time, I mean so I think we can do it," says Austin Batten who plays infielder for the baseball team and guard for the basketball team.
Monroe was on a 16-game winning streak heading into the Region B final last Saturday. They fell to Dan River 52-50, suffering their first loss in month. Maynard says since then, his team has shown a new resolve.
"Yesterday, Markel Williams was a great leader in practice, and it's good when one of your best players is telling other people what to do instead of always hearing it from your coach. I was really impressed with his practice yesterday, and hopefully that will carry on for the rest of the week. We've got to have great practices to have a chance."
Dragons players say they're motivated by the loss, and hope to avoid that feeling the rest of the season.
"The talk has been we just, we're going to play as hard as we can from here on out and not let anything get in our way," says sophomore forward Jeff Early.
"It's the best place we could have lost. I mean, we didn't get the regional championship, but we still got the state berth," added Batten.
"We don't want that taste no more. We've just got to keep working hard in practice, and hopefully that we come out in practice and work hard, and hopefully we'll get the win on the court."
Maynard is now hoping his basketball team can bring Monroe its first title in 18 years.
"1995 was the last time actually, and they won the whole thing," he says. "I have to walk by that everyday, so hopefully we can do that."

Glow Fading?
The latest NEWSWEEK Poll shows Barack Obama leading John McCain by only 3 points. What a difference a few weeks can make.
A month after emerging victorious from the bruising Democratic nominating contest, some of Barack Obama's glow may be fading. In the latest NEWSWEEK Poll, the Illinois senator leads Republican nominee John McCain by just 3 percentage points, 44 percent to 41 percent. The statistical dead heat is a marked change from last month's NEWSWEEK Poll, where Obama led McCain by 15 points, 51 percent to 36 percent.
Obama's rapid drop comes at a strategically challenging moment for the Democratic candidate. Having vanquished Hillary Clinton in early June, Obama quickly went about repositioning himself for a general-election audience--an unpleasant task for any nominee emerging from the pander-heavy primary contests and particularly for a candidate who'd slogged through a vigorous primary challenge in most every contest from January until June. Obama's reversal on FISA legislation, his support of faith-based initiatives and his decision to opt out of the campaign public-financing system left him open to charges he was a flip-flopper. In the new poll, 53 percent of voters (and 50 percent of former Hillary Clinton supporters) believe that Obama has changed his position on key issues in order to gain political advantage.
More seriously, some Obama supporters worry that the spectacle of their candidate eagerly embracing his old rival, Hillary Clinton, and traveling the country courting big donors at lavish fund-raisers, may have done lasting damage to his image as an arbiter of a new kind of politics. This is a major concern since Obama's outsider credentials, have, in the past, played a large part in his appeal to moderate, swing voters. In the new poll, McCain leads Obama among independents 41 percent to 34 percent, with 25 percent favoring neither candidate. In June's NEWSWEEK Poll, Obama bested McCain among independent voters, 48 percent to 36 percent.

I wear these with my hiking boots an love them. Too hot for summer but perfect for all other seasons.
These are great

I am a mailman, nd these are the best saocks I have ever worn. I used to get them at REI, but for some unknown reason they quit carrying them. My right leg swells, and the fact that the top portion is loose and doesn't squeeze my leg is very important. Please don't stop making them
I walk a lot
04/11/14 | By Donald B .
These are great socks! I walk 8-10 miles per day for exercise. Because of a foot/ankle problem, I wear hunting/tactical boots. These socks last for 2-3 years and then I reorder. I've worn them for over 10 years. Best socks ever.
Blister Makers

I hike 700-800 miles a year and consider hiking socks to be as important as good hiking boots. I received these socks through a "free" (I had to pay $5 shipping) promo from Thorlo. They arrived in a few days, in time for some weekend hiking. I tested them out on a 7-mile hike on flat ground in my neighbor. By mile four, I could feel hotspots developing and by mile six I had blisters on the bottoms of both feet. It's been a few years since I've gotten blisters while hiking and wearing a competitors sock. The synethic fibers of these socks made my feet sweat and trapped the mositure, a bad combination in a hiking sock. I'm glad they were "free". Now I only wear them around the house.
Thorlo Sock Review
04/06/14 | By George S .
I can now add Thorlo hiking socks to my list of Christmas gift ideas! I already knew that Thorlo tennis socks and basketball socks were great and now I can add hiking socks to that list, as well.
Little thicker than i like
04/06/14 | By Gerald K .
They're padded, a bit heavy and too warm. i usually prefer lighter and thinner.
Feel good scoks

Local commercial real estate showing recovery
Local commercial real estate brokers are offering promising outlooks for the High Desert, which is showing signs of economic recovery, according to their latest market reports.
"The High Desert is finally gaining traction across virtually every sector in commercial real estate," President Jason Lamoreaux of Coldwell Banker Commercial stated in his High Desert Market Watch for the fourth quarter. "While pricing has remained steady throughout 2012 with gradual increases throughout the year, we have seen overall inventory and vacancy rates consistently trend downward all year."
Commercial vacancy rates in the third quarter were 48 percent lower than in January 2010, according to his report.
Lamoreaux pointed out retailers that have opened or relocated this year, including JCPenney, Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts, Hobby Lobby and Pancho Villa's Mexican Grill & Entertainment. Lease rates for prime retail centers increased 47 percent in the past year and a half.
"But the most significant retail development in the High Desert this year has been the expansion of Walmart in the region," Lamoreaux said.
Walmart opened two Supercenter stores in September in Victorville and Hesperia.
Macy's will hold the grand opening of its Victorville store in the Mall of Victor Valley on March 20, the company announced recently.
Retail sales in the High Desert have been increasing in the High Desert for the past eight quarters, according to Ronald Barbieri of The Bradco Companies.
Barbieri said the demand for industrial space in the High Desert increased "substantially" over the past year and a half. Most of that came from large tenants who occupy more than 50,000 square feet.
The High Desert will see growth in smaller tenants when home constructions begin, Barbieri said.
"The foundation has been laid for another expansion in the real estate cycle," Barbieri said, referring to the decreasing unemployment rate and the increasing population.
"Basically it's looking good," he said. "I think we bottomed out."

Four-Year Ban for Gatlin
This Forum was created to divert traffic from Current Events at the height of the BALCO scandal. It comes and goes as "needed"; it's back to being locked.
On the Trials web site it appears to me to state that all olympic medalists in 2004 qualify automatically for the Trials.
Yes, there is. It's a USATF rule and it applies to the USATF National Championships and Olympic Trials. Anyone who has won an individual medal in the OG or WCh in the previous four years is automatically qualified for the USA National Championshps and Olympic Trials. The qualifying time requirement that would otherwise be applicable is waived for such individuals.
If this mess is not cleared up WADA and all of its related agencies will have zero chance of influencing drug use regulation in USA profession sports. You cannot have such extreme requirement to conform to an arbitrary rule that you get stupid results that ruin careers.
flumpy et al can be as high and mighty as they want to be but defending an arbitrary rule for the purposes of saying he should be banned forever is way over the top and will not be tolerated in the world of professional sports. Those guys are not that stupid. However, the history of AAU/Olympic stuff has shown that those organizations have been corrupt and if they are not banning all of those with real legal conflicts and corrupt acts from their own governing body then they should not hold others to a much higher code of conduct and expect others to applaud.
Sorry we've got our wires crossed. I thought you were talking about competing at the Olympics, not the trials.
Here:s an issue from earlier-mentioned decision:
Gatlin did NOT appeal to CAS from the 2001 first finding of a doping violation -- exactly what IAAF called it, though they stated there were "exceptional circumstances" in the case and re-instated him DESPITE that finding (rather than removing the word "violation"). The 2006-2007 arbitration Panel noted that the 2001 AAA Panel decision, while "retain[ing] full jurisdiction . . . so that it may reconsider the two-year suspension" which was imposed by that Panel, the 2001 AAA Panel did find a doping violation and it did impose a period of ineligibility. Gatlin never asked for intervention, he did not request the 2001 AAA Panel to reconsider the case, nor did the panel take it upon itself to reconsider or otherwise finalise its decision and award once the IAAF found "exceptional circumstances" did exist in the case against Gatlin; USADA even stated Gatlin wasn:t a doper, per sé, but no one struck the "offense" from the record. Further to that point, he did not request the IAAF to remove the word "violation" or the word "offense" from record as to state there was no such initial transgression of their anti-doping code.
Gatlin, six years later, has never contested the terms "offense" or "guilty", rather has now stated that he was a minor back then, and in the US courts, minors would be judged differently than had they committed the same offense as an adult.
He was 19 years old then, and I don't think US courts conisder 19-year old people to be minors for purposes of determining how they should be treated by the courts. The relatively young age of an adult may influence a sentencing decision, but I believe a 19-year old is still tried as an adult, not a minor.
Thanks for bringing the age up. Here:s what was stated regarding being 19 at the time:
I'm not sure I understand that reasoning. Was his law dude arguing that because Gatlin could have been 17 years old and still competed in that meet he should be treated as a 17-year old even though he was, in fact, 19? (I suppose I should read the opinion(s) for further enlightenment, but I haven't done that.)
In all, he:s going to need IAAF to rescind their 2001 verdict of being "guilty" with extenuating circumstances. AAA state this will make a big difference in how they view the second offense. Why he never contested the 2001 IAAF result, "guilty", (or had an attorney file on his behalf) is beyond me.
He may have been a 19-year-old "juvenile" back then, but a good law dude would have requested the word "guilty" be stricken from IAAF and AAA language -- up through CAS if need be, as it would (and does now) have any number of negative consequences attached to it.
I suspect that Gatlin did not follow up the ruling initially because he wanted to get on with his life and leave it all behind. He wasn't planning on using drugs etc, so he didn't look forward, which his what his lawyer should have done.
Then it appears from what is said above that he was pressured into aligning with the wrong coach ( he was very young). So it is possible he was a victim of circumstances, and, call me naive if you wish, but, even after the Jones fiasco, I am inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.
There's nothing his law dude could have done to get the original "guilty" removed. He took the stuff and admitted it, and had to pay a minor price, given the draconian nature of the doping rules.
But the way the case was adjudicated, I imagine everybody came away thinking it had been pretty much a case of no-harm, no-foul. Here's how T&FN reported it in the June '02 issue:
<<Just days after Justin Gatlin's stunning performances created positive headlines at the SEC, the Tennessee soph became the focus of a positive drug test.
USADA announced a decision confirming that Gatlin had "inadvertently committed a doping violation" at last year's USATF Juniors. He tested positive for an amphetamine--a substance which carries a 2-year ban--in prescription medication he has taken for a decade.....
Gatlin stopped taking the medication several days before the meet, but it had not fully cleared his system and trace amounts in his urine resulted in the positive test.
The final decision, made by a 3-member panel of arbitrators from the American Arbitration Association and the North American Court Of Arbitration For Sport, found that "Mr. Gatlin's inadvertent violation of [IAAF] rules was at most a 'technical' or 'paperwork' violation."
The panel also stated the belief that Gatlin neither cheated nor intended to cheat. "At most, his mistake was in not raising his medical condition for a review before the [meet], instead of after it," the statement said.
Per IAAF rules, Gatlin was given a 2-year suspension from IAAF-sanctioned events, but retroactive to last July. The arbitration panel stated it wouldn't impose the full 2 years and "expressly retained jurisdiction of the case pending a satisfactory response from the IAAF Council to Gatlin's request for early reinstatement based on the exceptional circumstances in this case."
Gatlin's attorney, John Collins, says, "We have a great respect for the [IAAF][ and want to make sure we operate within their system. Everyone understands this isn't a case of Justin having done anything wrong."
Gatlin nonetheless forfeits the 100, 200 and 110H titles he won at the '01 Juniors but the decision affects neither any past NCAA victories, individual or team, nor his eligibility for this year's NCs.......>>
Thanks GH for taking the time to reproduce the June 02 report. The report definitely helps one to understand the situation.
So he was guilty under the IAAF rules, no doubt . Maybe they need to modify the rules to provide for exceptional circumstances such as this which are so obvious . I suspect right now there are some of the tall foreheads over there who wish maybe they had.
This has become a Shakespearian tragedy.
I am not a law dude, but I would not want to be on the other side:
1 the authorities admit that there was no competitive advantage
2 that it was minor and not intentional
3 that the drugs were prescribed by the doctor and taken as prescribed and for a medically recognized disability
4 that he was young and suffered substantially (loss of awards that were not obtained by artificial means
This is a case that the IAAF/WADA ought to figure out a way to make go away or they risk having the whole 'guilty no matter what' either taken away from them or to be at risk of diminished. They also might be risking a potentially costly lawsuit. Such a lawsuit might either have to be settled generously or they are going to face discovery obligations and heaven help them if there is something on the record somewhere that is not kosher.
Finally, to think that Gatlin, at 19, in college and not able to earn any money should have been thinking about a costly legal challenge is rather naive at best.
I am not a law dude either, but I like Gatlin's chances in the federal court. 2 years was appropriate, 4 is excessive.
2nd that
( i agreed with steve on a point - i need a nootropic ! )
mjd, your default position is faulty
i cannot believe that a naive 19y kid on prescribed meds under a respected college coach wouda been anaboliking
they have drug tests for that
he failed none
you suggesting a 16y gal was using drugs to win a school meet ?!
disappearing from scene ?
- you mean when she went to play lucrative basketball in mid-'90s ?
- pregnant in '02 ( drug use is teratogenic - you abort under this possibility ) ?
Now I know I was wrong!!!
There aren't enough nootropics on the planet..................you get the picture!!
The obvious disappearance which was not mentioned here was in 2003.
CA State Meet is not a school meet by any stretch of the imagination, and having stated so blackens your argument, not helps it. It is (arguably) the most difficult state to win a championship in. She won nine titles.
how about having a new born baby & taking a year out to raise it ?
is this "concept" new to you ?
as for school meet - i'm familiar with "proper" track - euro meets & gp
to me it's an insignificant school meet - show me 10.9/22-flat times from it & then i'm interested
Since you decided to use hand times: 10,9 = 11,14.
11,14 places top-5 at plenty of GP meets. MJ won 1992 CIF State Meet in 11,14, and 1991 state meet in 11,17 -- both under allowable winds. Kelli White was sixth in the 11,14 race.
Last edited by EPelle on Fri Jan 11, 2008 5:48 am, edited 1 time in total.
what does this nonsense mean ?
she had her baby june '03
for 3-4/12 before she'd have been too heavily pregnant & then afterwards she'd have been in no shape to compete for at least 3/12 to get the weight off
so mr obstetrician, please tell us how on earth you expected her to compete in '03 to any elite standard ?
i don't do hand times
where's my 10.9 ???
Even if you are right, you won't get much agreement on this board that CA HS track isn't some of the best in the world. Now, suddenly, when talking about MJ, CA HS meets have been reduced to twilight meets with tafnut interfering near the pole vault pit. Quite funny. I can easily buy a 16 year old breaking the rules then. She had access to some of the best legal advice anyone could get-what is so unreasonable about her having access to PEDs at that age? I say again, what is with this MJ, Gatlin defending stuff? Shouldn't we all be happy these blights on the sport got busted, hope they are gone for good and move on?
Alas, a new title and plaque for my wall. May I choose which university from which I was awarded this? I:ll go with Stanford University School of Medicine. Gosh, how shall I integrate this degree with my current ones?
Need an answer? Ask Jones and Riddick -- who used her pregnancy as a basis of increased strength.
11,14 still places at nearly ever GP meet. Don:t avoid the obvious. You like to use NCAA-competition times as some sort of leverage in your arguments when appropriate (Gatlin), but not CA High School meet. Whatever. Good luck holding this argument with anyone else here who has the inclination or desire to play in the streets with you.
Good choice - altho the Law and Biz Schools are equally appealing! Actually almost all of Stanford's Grad schools are in the top 5 of the nation, so feel free to browse!
MJD, EPelle, don't you think you are arguing ad absurdum?
Marion was caught cheating, period. Anything before that is pure, unwaranted speculation. To argue that she continued using steroids during her pregnancy boggles the mind. No woman would do that for whatever reason.
Comparison of Gatlin's "first offense" with Marion's BALCO situation lacks any common points.
Please find where I said that. eldrick CONCLUDED that is what I was implying. You guys are trying to find arguments where they don't(and shouldn't) exist. I have no doubt they have both been serial offenders. Only comparison I have been making. I thought we were operating with blinders off now?

From the acclaimed writer of Billy Elliot comes the real-life story of a close-knit group of northern English miners whose lives are transformed when they unexpectedly discover their own artistic potential and become art world sensations. Funny, gritty, inspirational and moving, The Pitmen Painters is both a thought-provoking exploration of the politics of art and an uplifting celebration of the creative impulse in us all.

What can go wrong on stage? Everything! In this hilarious, side-splitting play-within-a-play, a troupe of manic misfits prepare for their opening performance of Nothing On. Lacy lingerie and plates of sardines fly in the air as these misfits flub their lines, forget their props, and miss their cues. They somehow survive each other's flaws, foibles, theatrics, and love triangles in this wickedly funny revelation of what can happen on the other side of the curtain.

The delightfully demented diva and real-life eccentric heiress, Florence Foster Jenkins, fancied herself a coloratura soprano but was in fact incapable of producing two consecutive notes in tune. Her growing mob of followers packed her recitals, stuffing handkerchiefs in their mouths to stifle their laughter—which Mrs. Jenkins blissfully mistook for cheers. Her concerts in the 1930s and '40s included a legendary appearance at Carnegie Hall. Told affectionately through the eyes of her longtime accompanist, Souvenir is the sweet and inspiring, and yes, hilarious, portrait of a passionate music lover who believed that "what matters most is the music you hear in your head."

Excitement ripples through the sleepy Irish community of Inishmaan that is abuzz with the news that a Hollywood filmmaker plans to shoot a movie on a neighboring island. When young "Cripple Billy" lands a screen test, the oddball citizens of Inishmaan mount a heartbreakingly hilarious campaign bursting with dark madcap humor and touching devotion. Tony Award-winning McDonagh creates a quirky, sincere, and scathingly funny fable of the slender line between cruelty and kindness.

Ripped from the 1992 World Weekly News tabloid headline, Bat Boy:The Musical is both musical comedy/horror spoof and big-hearted satire on American prejudice. When a half boy/half bat creature is discovered in a cave near fictional Hope Falls, West Virginia, the local vet's wife sets out to teach him the ways of civilization only to be thwarted by the colorful, narrow-minded, "civilized" townfolk who have something else in mind. In the tradition of Sophocles, Sondheim and South Park—with hints of Mary Shelly, Tim Burton and Mel Brooks—Bat Boy weaves a smart and playful pop/rock score with a crazy take on American eccentricities.

Firehole Lake Drive is a simple, 2-mile, one way road located in the south-western section of Yellowstone between Midway and Lower Geyser Basins. Drive it and you may find surprises waiting for you... pleasant, visual surprises - and all coming one right after the other - with the added benefit (for some) of no hike or elevation change required to see them at their best.
Surprise Pool is one of those deep blue, gorgeous pools found right at the beginning of the drive. A little further down, some might be fortunate enough to see Great Fountain Geyser erupting (we weren't, but the "base" for it is still impressive).
Continuing on, is a geyser that is incredibly unique in its look - and a reason alone to make this 2 mile detour - White Dome Geyser. We DID get to see that one erupt - it looked picture perfect! You'll also instantly know why it's named "White Dome..." Intervals between eruptions here are generally only 15-30 minutes, so it is worth a wait if you aren't fortunate enough to see it right as you drive up as we were.
Another short drive and you're at Pink Cone Geyser - another we saw erupting... and another appropriately named... Near the end of the drive the road goes between Hot Lake and Firehole Lake. You can stop here (and at all those other spots)... as there are boardwalked short trails allowing you to see the lakes better - and see a "hot cascade" that flows into Hot Lake. Colors vary.
This drive doesn't take long - most of the time is spent looking at the features - and some of these features - esp White Dome Geyser just aren't duplicated elsewhere. You could drive on by on the main road missing it all, but why would you? You've lost little time by taking this 2 mile detour - well, unless you get "hooked" watching a geyser erupt! Besides - didn't you come to Yellowstone to see such things?

The Number One attraction on this drive is the Great Fountain Geyser. This geyser normally erupts a couple of times a day and a stop at the Ranger Station by Old Faithful will get you a prediction of when it will erupt next. Normally this prediction is also posted on a sign by the Geyser. The prediction for this geyser's next eruption time though is usually + or - 2 hours. There is limited parking by the geyser and we like to just go park and wait for it to erupt. If it's predicted eruption time is around noon time, we simply take our lunch and eat while waiting.
Great Fountain Geyser is a pool geyser as opposed to White Dome Geyser which is just a short distance down the road. Once you see Great Fountain's area and watch it erupt, you can readily see how it got its name as it looks much like Fountains you find in cities all over the world. It is well worth the wait to see it erupt.
Just down the road is the White Dome Geyser, a cone geyser which erupts quite frequently. Again, there is some parking by it and we often plan to park by it for lunch and watch it. It is not at all unusual to have it erupt 2 or 3 times while we are eating.
Next down the road is the Pink Cone Geyser which is not a predictable geyser but on our last trip to Yellowstone we were fortunate to drive by when it was erupting.
Some people think that if you've seen one geyser erupt, you've experienced a geyser but each geyser is unique unto to itself and puts on its own show which we find interesting to observe.
On past Pink Cone Geyser is when you get to the Three Senses Nature Trail. Much of this can be seen just driving by but take the time to park, there is more parking here, and walk the trail and see some of the area up close.

Blazers' Five Home Runs Take Down Saints 15-6
DAHLONEGA, GA – The North Georgia baseball team ran into the bats of Valdosta State University on Wednesday evening, as the Blazers pounded out 15 hits and five home runs to take down the Saints 15-6 at Bob Stein Stadium in non-conference action.
The Saints lose their fourth straight game, falling to 17-10 on the season, while Valdosta State snaps a three game skid of their own, improving to 10-16 on the year.
The blazers jumped on the Saints early as North Georgia starter Hunter McGilvray walked the first two batters of the game and then surrendered a three-run blast to left field off the bat of John Willner to give Valdosta State a 3-0 lead. They would add one more run later in the frame taking a commanding 4-0 lead after half an inning of play.
The North Georgia bats answered came out firing in the first inning as two hits and a walk loaded the bases for Troy Snitker who fell down in the count 0-2, but the junior watched four straight pitches miss the zone to walk in a run.
After Brad Hall grounded out to plate Derek Hooper and make it 4-2, Chad Sage returned from injury after missing 17 games and singled through the right side, plating Hall and Bellavance to knot the score at 4-4.
It was all Blazers from there however, as VSU scored two runs in the second frame, two in the fourth, five more in the fifth, and single runs in the sixth and seventh innings.
The five-run fifth inning featured two of the Blazers' five home runs on the day as Aaron Kicklighter connected on a two-run blast, and Christian Glisson followed with a three-run bomb to send Valdosta State racing out to a 13-4 lead.
The Saints added a single run in the sixth inning off a Dustin Carpenter solo home run down the left field line, and Hall tallied another RBI, this time a single to left field in the eighth inning to cap the scoring as the Blazers picked up the 15-6 victory.
Tyler Wooten (1-0) was the winner for Valdosta State, lasting 5.1 innings and giving up just one run on two hits, while striking out 10 North Georgia batters. Steven Groves tallied a three-inning save and added three more strikeouts to the mix.
Five North Georgia pitchers took the mound, but Michael Patton suffered the loss, allowing five runs on three hits in 3.0 innings of work.
The Saints return to action over the weekend in another Peach Belt Conference series on the road, traveling to Lander University for three games against the Bearcats. First pitch is set for Friday evening at 7:00 p.m.

That happens when we binge on unhealthy things, and sports offers few things more unhealthy than a process where some adults make a lucrative living hard-selling teenagers and other adults live for news of the sale.
Even some of the adults got the message after Wednesday's national signing day melodramas.
"This is a great class, but I officially hate recruiting," screen name NewnanTiger05 wrote on AuburnSports.com's message board, the Bunker. "The entire process, the constant rumors from anybody and everybody, constant accusations of cheating, the circus-esq announcements ... all of it.
"It is beyond out of control, and it's just not fun anymore."
And NewnanTiger05 got amens from the congregation.
"All this time spent wondering about where some little punk (no one in particular) is going to play football feels like a waste," Stringmusic24 wrote.
Added AUriptide, "I agree and will not follow it this close next year."
And, finally, there comes this nugget of perspective from 95Fiber, whose screen name suggests the occasional ingestion of healthy nutrients: "Everyone must remember; we're talking about 18-year-old kids that play football."
If only that had been patently obvious before national signing day.
Maybe some perspective-challenged fan wouldn't have raised a sign at Saturday's Alabama-LSU basketball game, branding Russellville prospect Brent Calloway a "Benedict Arnold" for a commitment switch from Alabama to Auburn.
Maybe some Auburn fans wouldn't have wretched at every growing indication that Calloway was about to switch back to Alabama.
Maybe Alabama and Auburn fans wouldn't still have a sick stomach today, wondering whether all-everything offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio will honor the commitment he made on national TV Wednesday.
He said he's going to Auburn. Auburn has yet to receive the all-important national letter of intent. It appears he's still undecided.
Who knew a teenager might struggle with a decision to be teammates with his older brother or strike out on his own?
Who knew a young man might struggle as his world, including his adoptive father, publicly dinged his decision swings? Calloway reportedly had to go all Dick Cheney, hiding out in an undisclosed location in the final days before his Wednesday announcement.
That's not to make saints of recruits. Some play the process for all of its spoils, starting with attention.
But it's hard to lay the bulk of blame on young people who grow borderline corrupted by a borderline corrupt process, where the hard-selling starts younger and younger. Coaches make scholarship offers to high school sophomores now, a practice some NCAA minds have tried to outlaw.
They can't quite find a good way to enforce suggested rules changes, so offers come to 15-year-olds whose bodies are maturing more quickly than their minds.
Then recruits go visit various colleges, where coaches show them three other players at the same position. Commit now, or the other kid will.
Or maybe a kid like Piedmont nose tackle Mickey Jackson just gets caught up in the moment. He visits Jacksonville State, along with teammate Jamaal Johnson. Johnson and other players make non-binding oral commitments, and there stands Jackson.
If not a coach, then the situation screams the question: "How about you?"
Suddenly, Jackson finds himself decommitting the next day. Who knows how many times he nearly wound up in that position?
"It was really a hard choice," he said of his ultimate decision to sign with UAB. "Every time I would see a coach, I would be like, 'I would like to go there.' Then another coach would come by, and I'd be like, 'I'd like to go there.'
"I liked all the coaches, and I didn't really know. I had trouble trying to make my decision. It's hard to tell somebody no."
Give or take a maturity notch, that's the mindset that matches up against highly paid, highly ambitious and far-more-savvy coaches.
The hate-to-say-no mindset — or something similar — can ruin the whole day of grown people who hang on every recruiting rumor. The obsession has spawned an information industry.
Judging from comments on message boards, some who ate too much from the trough got sick Wednesday. That sick feeling led some to swear off the trough.
Maybe they're serious, or maybe they're just whistling past the recruiting new year with resolutions.
Still others haven't gotten sick. Screen name "onlyau" wants his favorite site to transition from pre-signing day "War Room" updates to Koundjio reports.
"We need a CyKo War Room tonight! (please)"

God's Hotel
A Doctor, a Hospital, and a Pilgrimage to the Heart of Medicine
Victoria Sweet - Author
add to cart
- eBook - ePub eBook: $12.99
San Francisco's Laguna Honda Hospital is the last almshouse in the country, a descendant of the Hôtel-Dieu (God's hotel) that cared for the sick in the Middle Ages. Ballet dancers and rock musicians, professors and thieves-"anyone who had fallen, or, often, leapt, onto hard times" and needed extended medical care-ended up here. So did Victoria Sweet, who came for two months and stayed for twenty years.
Laguna Honda, lower tech but human paced, gave Sweet the opportunity to practice a kind of attentive medicine that has almost vanished. Gradually, the place transformed the way she understood her work. Alongside the modern view of the body as a machine to be fixed, her extraordinary patients evoked an older idea, of the body as a garden to be tended. God's Hotel tells their story and the story of the hospital itself, which, as efficiency experts, politicians, and architects descended, determined to turn it into a modern "health care facility," revealed its own surprising truths about the essence, cost, and value of caring for body and soul.
-Oliver Sacks, author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and The Mind's Eye
"This is a unique book about a healer and those in need of her healing. Charting her journey in God's Hotel, Victoria Sweet shows us that medicine is still fundamentally a sacred calling. By illuminating this truth, Sweet provides comfort and inspiration."
-Jerome Groopman, M.D., Recanati Professor, Harvard Medical School, co- author of How Doctors Think and Your Medical Mind
"Victoria Sweet is a master storyteller and a consummate physician. Her beautifully written stories from the frontline of health care document the struggle of all modern-day healers, to hold fast to the immortal soul of Medicine despite the pressures of economics, the self-interest of politics, and the reductionism of science. God's Hotel reminds us of the fundamental truth that medicine is and has always been an act of love and brotherhood ... and of the vulnerabilities we share and the compassion we aspire to."
-Rachel Naomi Remen, MD, author of Kitchen Table Wisdom and My Grandfather's Blessings
"A profoundly moving account of a remarkable hospital and the people who inhabit it, God's Hotel reveals intimate knowledge of the shift in modern medicine, from personal tending to industrialized 'health care.' Author and physician Victoria Sweet embodies the traits of a persevering and compassionate doctor, while conveying the wisdom of a philosopher, and the instincts of a born storyteller."
-Julie Salamon, author of Hospital and Wendy and the Lost Boys
The Patients at God's Hotel
An essay by Victoria Sweet
I came to God's Hotel to escape.
It was twenty years ago, and the hurried, efficiency-obsessed model of medicine we now take for granted was just beginning to take hold. I didn't like it much, and God's Hotel—Laguna Honda Hospital in San Francisco—seemed just the place to escape it. Although it was on sixty two acres in the middle of the city, it was literally over the hill to the poorhouse, and no one—regulators, economists, or budgeters—paid it much attention.
But that wasn't why I stayed. I stayed for the place and the patients.
The place was old and ramshackle, spread out high on a hill overlooking the ocean. Outside it looked like a medieval monastery, with bell tower, turrets, and a red-tiled roof. Inside it was the 1930s, though the long, open wards went all the way back to when a hospital was still a hospice, where monks took care of the pilgrim, the traveler, and the poor for free.
It was also fascinating. Originally it had been the city's almshouse, what the French call a Hôtel Dieu (God's Hotel), and it still was the city's almshouse, despite its name. That meant it took in anyone and everyone who fell through the cracks in the medical system. It had murderers from San Quentin and dancers from The Royal London Ballet; failed stock brokers and the West Coast fat model for artists; merchant marines and rock musicians; telegraph operators, professors, poets, and thieves. They had one of just about every kind of disease, too, so I saw almost everything in the 2260 pages of my Harrison's Textbook of Internal Medicine.
The patients taught me a lot. They were always themselves, for better and for worse. Which is not to say they were all good. Mr. Dennis, for instance, was a convicted rapist who hid out at the hospital with a fake paraplegia. But he was the purest, the most evil Mr. Dennis there could be.
They were utterly attuned to cant, hypocrisy and falsehood and if they sensed it, they would turn their backs and walk or wheel away; shout or even throw things; close their eyes and refuse to answer. They responded to the truth and withdrew at the false, and the only way I could take care of them was to meet their true selves with mine.

This is the linen shirt made in County Cork, Ireland, that faithfully reproduces the traditional collarless style first worn two centuries ago by the country's farmers. Romantically known as "grandfather" shirts as an homage to a hardworking ancestral Irish agrarian spirit, these shirts had no collars because the farmers who wore them had no need of neckties, providing a greater freedom of movement when working afield. Made from a 55% linen/45% cotton blend, this shirt provides the breathability, comfort, and light weight of both fabrics. Its roomy sleeves and generously sized fit enables freedom of movement while lounging or traveling. Natural. Sizes S (34-36). (1 lb.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Genuine Irish Country Shirt comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee at no additional charge. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.Should you have any questions, we are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

RCBS Gold Medal Match Series Bushing Full Length Sizer Die 300 Winchester Short Magnum (WSM)
Product #: 675968 RCBS #: 30834 UPC #: 076683308344
Substitute Products
Suggested Products
Product Information
These Full Length Sizer Dies use precision-machined neck bushings (sold separately) to size the case neck just enough provide the exact amount of bullet tension without overworking the brass. To determine the proper neck bushing size, measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded cartridge and subtract .002" to .003" to allow for a small amount of brass spring back. By removing the neck bushing, the Full Length sizing die can be used as a "bump" die to set headspace back the desired amount without disturbing the case neck. Shellholder sold separately.
Technical Information
Material: Steel
Die Type Included:
Sizer Die (With Decapping Unit)
Plastic storage case
Resizes the full length of the case.
Gold Medal Match sizing dies use a separate neck bushing
Neck bushing is not included
To determine bushing size, measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded cartridge, subtract .002" to .003" -- this allows approximately .001" of brass spring back for correct neck tension. Another method is to measure the neck wall thickness of a case, multiply by two, add the diameter of the bullet and subtract .001" -- RCBS suggests purchasing neck bushings one to two sizes above and below the target diameter.
RCBS lifetime guarantee
Shellholder not included
Gold Medal Match bushing dies will accept bushings made by Hornady, Redding or Wilson in addition to RCBS bushings.

Not right?

Leesburg, Virginia
June 21, 2005
I reserved a gulf-front hotel room with a balcony, which was located in the Jacaranda Building. (This building is nonsmoking.) The room was spacious and had a small refrigerator, microwave, toaster, and coffeemaker. They even supplied a few dishes. We had a room with a king-size bed, and there was a small dining table in the room. The balcony was very narrow. In fact, it was too narrow to sit on without angling your chair.
The grounds were very well kept. The staff was amazing. Once we parked our car at 5pm on Friday, we never left until checking out Sunday morning. The food was great; whether you are looking for a submarine sandwich or a full gourmet dinner, it is available.
Large hammocks that easily accommodate two adults hung along the beach walkway, and there was always one available. The beach cabañas that lined the beach were included in the daily activity fee. The "cabañas" were actually two padded chairs connected in the middle by a table and optionally shaded (very comfy).
The resort has four pools. One is covered (it is actually under one of the buildings) and one is designated adults only. I would be sure I wasn't in the building right next to the pool (Hibiscus Building).
There were so many activities for kids – a rock-climbing wall and a 3-story inflatable water slide ($30 for an all-day pass), as well as movies by the pool and hourly organized programs.
My biggest complaint about the resort is that the bed was uncomfortable (not too bad for 2 nights) and the foam pillows were awful. If I planned to arrive by car, I would definitely bring my down mattress pad and pillows.
I would have rated this resort as VERY HIGHLY recommended, but while we were there, they were experiencing a red tide, so there were thousands of dead fish on the beach.

What are the benefits of membership?
I come from an athletic family and am considered a sports nut by all who know me. I am encouraging my kids to take up sports as well, and they both really like gymnastics. Both my 5-year old and 3-year old work hard while they are there, but I don't want to turn into a crazy sports Dad. How many days a week should they be doing sports activities at this age? -- Chris, StrongMoms Facilitator
As often as they want.. if they love to play the sports then i don't see any real harm in playing them. If they are seeming like they would rather play dress up instead of touch football then i wouldn't push it. maybe give them a different range of options like maybe kickball, baseball, hide and seek, or painting and see what they decide they want to do. that way the sports is always an option, but you don't feel like it's being pushed on them.
There are so many benefits from sports activities that I'd let your kiddos take the lead, but don't be afraid to encourage as needed, and to pull back when it does not feel right. I think it's a process of constant evaluation, but follow your gut instinct with it.
I agree to watch and monitor your daughters for their reaction. If you are "dragging" them to practice or games then they may not be ready for the sports. If they are reminding you about their games or seem excited to be at practices then you can rest assured that they are enjoying themselves. Finding the right sport is important too. Some kids love soccer and others baseball. Don't forget about the less popular ones like tennis, rock climbing, golf, horseback riding, and even fencing. By introducing them to a lot of different sports you can find the one that is best for them!
I agree that a variety of sports is great and introducing them to as much as possible at a young age. Like everything, a balance is best!
Sometimes it is the balance for the parents that is BEST! I often sign my kids up for things because it is easier for me to coordinate..for example: they all take rock climbing class together on Mondays and then both boys play baseball so I can coordinate practices and games...:)
So true... many times the convenience dictates what you are able to do. I am really excited because the past few weeks, my older girls are excited about swimming and the possibility of winning a race. The competitiveness has been something that has been missing from my oldest, so I am excited. Swimming is a great sport, offers great exercise and gives me peace of mind that they will be comfortable and competent in the water.
