text: Janell Baum Archives Email Author Consumers Paying More Attention to Food Labels, Nutrition USDA research finds American adults are eating more nutritious foods and consuming fewer calories Published on: Jan 17, 2014 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print American consumers are paying more attention to nutrition information and eating better overall, according to a new report out Thursday from the USDA Economic Research Service. The report, Changes in Eating Patterns and Diet Quality Among Working-Age Adults, 2005-2010, also shows that Americans are consuming fewer calories from fat and saturated fat, are consuming less cholesterol and are eating more fiber. A contributor to better diet quality, says Jessica Todd, report author and USDA economist, is reduced consumption of food away from home among working age adults. Her research found that calories consumed through FAFH dropped by 127 calories per day during 2007-2009, and the average person ate three fewer meals and 1.5 fewer snacks per month away from home. Eating at home more often was also associated with more frequent family meals.USDA research finds American adults are eating more nutritious foods and consuming fewer calories Overall, about 20% of the improvements in diet quality can be attributed to the decreased FAFH consumption, Todd said. "I saw the quality of both food at home and food away from home increase," she said, noting that individuals were more likely to be paying attention to and use nutrition information when shopping for food, as well. Nutrition facts panel utilized more frequently Specifically, the research found that 42% of working age adults and 57% of older adults reported using the Nutrition Facts Panel most or all of the time when making food choices. When asked about nutrition information in restaurants, 76% of working-age adults reported that they would use the information if it were available. Related: FDA Proposes Eliminating Trans Fat in Processed Foods "Information is a core foundation of how people are going to make their decision," noted Sam Kass, White House senior policy advisory for nutrition policy. "The nutrition facts panel is the most important place that consumers are getting their information, and the FDA is currently working on, and is close to releasing a proposal, to update that panel for the first time really since 1970s." Kass said nutrition panel information hasn't in the past received a major overhaul geared toward helping consumers make better choices and understand the information, but the FDA proposal hopes to change that.

It was hot, it has just cooled off before you can feel the temperature.
It is probably time for a brand new water heater...
Check the install date to find if your warrantee is still valid or, if it has expired.
I installed a Bradford White hot water heater six years ago. All has been fine until the past week. I have a "two second" drip coming from the bottom. The biggest concern that I have is that it is not HOT water, it is COLD. I turned off the valve to the cold water supply line and the drip was pretty much gone. It went to "eight seconds" instead of "two seconds", in about five minutes. So I am believing that it is not the tank, but maybe the dip tube.
I did remove the inspection plate and the insulation has some water between it and the inner tank. No lines are leaking at the top either. It seems to be internal, between the housing for the insulation and the tank itself. Any thoughts would be great. Please help and thank you for your time.

EDIT: When I turn off the shut off valve, the drip goes away. Thoughts?

If it was the supply line leaking, it would be from the top of the WH, and you'd see it. Shutting the supply off reduces the pressure which stops the leaking. There is probably a short stub between the top of the WH and the actual internal tank, but that's still part of the tank...trying to tear off the top cover isn't really an option, so regardless of where it is leaking, it's essentially an internal leak.

Truthfully I'd suggest another Bradford White.
Has the supply of water been adequate?
Yes, everything has been great with the WH until I completely refinished my basement and seen this new leak. There are four us taking showers every morning and we never run out of hot water. Everything still works fine on the WH, just has a slow drip. I guess when I replace it, I will part it out and see if anyone needs the parts.

Americans waited until the last minute to buy holiday gifts, but retailers weren't prepared for the spike.
Heavy spending in the final days of the mostly lackluster season sent sales up 3.5 percent between Nov. 1 and Tuesday, according to MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse, which tracks payments but doesn't give dollar figures.
Online shopping led the uptick, with spending up 10 percent to $38. 91 billion between Nov. 2 and Sunday, research firm comScore said.
"We always have last-minute Charlies, but this year even people who normally complete shopping earlier completed shopping later," said Marshal Cohen, chief retail analyst at market research firm NPD Group.
But the late surge caught companies off guard. UPS and FedEx failed to deliver some packages by Christmas due to a combination of poor weather and overloaded systems, leaving some unhappy holiday shoppers.
Justin Londagin and his wife ordered their 7-year-old son a jersey of Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks from the NFL's web site on Dec. 19. They paid $12.95 extra for two-day shipping to get it to their Augusta, Kan., home before Christmas, but it didn't arrive in time.
"We had to get creative and wrote him a note from Santa to tell him that the jersey fell out of the sleigh and Santa will get it to him as soon as he could," he said.
Amazon is offering customers with delayed shipments a refund on their shipping charges and $20 toward a future purchase. And other retailers such as Macy's said they are still looking into the situation.
The last-minute surge this year solidifies the increasing popularity of online shopping, which accounts for about 10 percent of sales during the last three months of the year. But it also underscores the challenges that companies face delivering on the experience, particularly during the holiday shopping season that runs from the beginning of November through December.
Analysts say FedEx and UPS typically work closely with big retailers, trying to get a sense of what the volume of packages will be during peak times like the holiday season. Extra flights, trucks and seasonal workers can be added if the projections are large.
But this year, David Vernon, a senior research analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, said weather played a role. The early December ice storms in Dallas could have hurt operations, he said, and packages can start to accumulate. And that got compounded this year by a late surge in shipments, he said.
"Clearly, as a group, [they] underestimated the demand for Internet retailing during the holidays," Vernon said.
Another problem was the growing popularity of retailers offering free shipping. Amazon, for one, has a two-day free shipping offer that comes with its $79 annual Prime membership. The company said, just in the third week of December, more than 1 million people signed up for the membership.
"Frankly the right hand wasn't talking to the left," said Forrester analyst Sucharita Mulpuru. "The marketing teams of a lot of web retailers [offering free shipping] were not talking to the operations and supply chain teams."
The delayed shipments could be a problem for shippers: "It is a major problem for UPS and FedEx. The central pillar of their business is a perception of reliability with their customers," said Jeremy Robinson-Leon, CEO of Group Gordon, a corporate and crisis PR firm. This year's snafus "just really erodes trust among customers."

Including updates on remuneration guidelines for AIFMs, IT systems at banks and high frequency trading
ESMA issue remuneration guidelines for AIFMs
Basel Committee seeks to improve IT systems at banks
Basel Committee introduces new disclosure requirements on banks' capital composition
International consistency on High Frequency Trading?
ESMA issue remuneration guidelines for AIFMs
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published a consultation paper, with 50 questions on guidelines on sound remuneration policies last week in respect of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFM) Directive. It covers a wide gamut of areas related to remuneration including governance arrangements, disclosure requirements and the treatment of AIFMs that are part of a wider group.
The consultation arises from Annex II of the AIFM Directive (2011/61/EU) which requires AIFMs to have sound remuneration policies in place for certain categories of staff, including senior management, risk-takers and those in control functions. Similar to post-crisis guidelines for banks, regulators want AIFMs to have robust governance arrangements, which include a clear organisational structure with "well defined, transparent and consistent lines of responsibility".
The guidelines will apply to all AIFMs within the scope of the AIFM Directive (the proportionality principle will apply) and will enter into force on 22 July 2013 when the Directive is implemented.
The guidelines will apply to the following categories of staff:
members of the governing body of an AIFM
senior management
staff involved in control functions such as risk management, compliance, internal audit and similar functions within an AIFM
staff responsible for heading the portfolio management, administration, marketing and human resources.
However, any member of staff whose professional activities who – either individually or collectively as members of a group–can exert material influence on the AIFM's risk profile or on an AIF it manages will be captured by these guidelines, regardless of whether they fit into the categories above.
Under the guidelines, remuneration consists of all forms of payment or benefit paid by the AIFM, of any amount paid by the AIF itself, including carried interest, and of any transfer of units or shares of the AIF, in exchange for professional services rendered by the AIFM staff. The principles will not apply to fees and commissions received by intermediaries and external service providers in case of outsourced activities.
Remuneration policy and practices will be reviewed on an annual basis at a minimum. The review should assess:
the overall remuneration system
the appropriateness of payouts, ensuring that the risk profile, long-term objectives and goals of the AIFM are adequately reflected
the consistency of remuneration procedures with national and international regulations, principles and standards.
Part or all of this review may be externally commissioned (when appropriate according to the proportionality principle). Larger and more complex AIFMs are expected to have sufficient resources to conduct the review internally, although external consultants may complement and support the AIFM in carrying out such tasks. The relevant internal control functions (i.e. internal audit, risk management, compliance functions, etc.) as well as other key supervisory function committees (i.e. audit, risk, and nominations committees) should be closely involved in this review.
The guidelines also provide detailed orientations on establishing and operating a remuneration committee (RemCo). ESMA argues that AIFMs that are "significant in terms of their size or the size of the AIFs they manage, internal organisation and the nature, scope and complexity of their activities" should establish a RemCo. It follows from this principle that AIFMs which are not significant according to these criteria are not required to set up a RemCo. Nevertheless, it could be considered as a good practice for these AIFMs as well.
ESMA's consultation draws from remuneration guidelines issued by the Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS, the forerunner to the European Banking Authority) as part of the Capital Requirements Directive III. However, the new guidelines include some significant differences. This variation from CRD III may be seen as unnecessary―heaping further change and complexity on already over-burdened universal financial groups.
In principal, sound remuneration principles should work consistently across industries, from nuclear power stations to tulip producers. However, the financial industry is different, and distinctions within sub-sectors are important. In banking, remuneration policies are supposed to be designed to ensure the alignment of interests between market operators and their bank employer for financial stability reasons (i.e. to avoid excessive risk taking which could threaten the bank and, subsequently, the financial system).
In the asset management industry, remuneration policies should principally address alignment of interests between clients/investors (and so the funds) and the portfolio managers who make investment decisions on behalf of the funds. Indeed, losses from excessive risk taking are likely to damage the fund and its investors, while there may be little or no impact on the AIFM itself aside from reputational damage.
The closing date for this consultation is 27 September 2012. The final text of these guidelines is expected by the end of the year. Concurrently, ESMA will consult on a separate set of guidelines focusing on remuneration policies of investment firms from an investor protection perspective in the coming months.
Basel Committee seeks to improve IT systems at banks
The fragility of banks' information technology (IT) systems and data architectures was exposed during the 2007 financial crisis.
Banks' IT systems are systemic. Weak risk data aggregation capabilities and risk reporting practices can make it difficult for banks to manage their risks accurately at the bank group level, across business lines and between legal entities. Failure of payments systems, particularly during periods of volatility, can spook customers and could even result in a run on a bank.
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (Basel Committee) has done some work in this area since the crisis. It believes that more formal and coherent guidance is now needed to enhance banks' ability to identify and manage bank-wide risks.
On 26 June, the Basel Committee published a consultation paper on draft principles for effective risk aggregation and risk reporting. These principles are initially addressed to systemically important banks and apply at both the banking group level and on a solo basis.
The Basel Committee put forward 14 principles, grouped together into four sections:
overarching governance and infrastructure
risk data aggregation capabilities
risk reporting practices
supervisory review, tools and co-operation.
The guidelines hold that banks' data architecture and IT infrastructure needs to fully support its risk data aggregation capabilities and risk reporting practices, not only in normal times, but also during times of stress or crisis. The system should be able to generate accurate and reliable risk data to meet normal and stress/crisis reporting accuracy requirements by capturing all material risk data across the banking group. Moreover, the system should be nimble and adaptable: a bank should be able to generate aggregate risk data to meet a broad range of on-demand, ad hoc risk management reporting requests, including requests during crisis situations, requests due to changing internal needs and requests to meet supervisory queries.
The Basel Committee recommend that a bank's risk data aggregation capabilities and risk reporting practices should be subject to strong governance arrangements. The board and senior management (or other recipients as appropriate) should set the frequency of risk management report production and distribution. Ongoing supervision is important. Supervisors should periodically review and evaluate a bank's compliance with these principles. Supervisors should use appropriate tools and resources to require effective and timely remedial action by a bank to address deficiencies in its risk data aggregation capabilities and risk reporting practices.
The Basel Committee believes that the long-term benefits of improved risk data aggregation capabilities and risk reporting practices will outweigh the initial investment costs incurred by banks. Enacting these principles should improve decision-making process throughout a bank; reduce the probability and severity of losses resulting from risk management weaknesses; and improve an organisation's quality of strategic planning and the ability to manage the risk of new products and services.
Supervisory expectations are high but throwing money at IT systems will not work. Building robust IT systems and data architectures is very challenging, and capturing all risks in any organisation is well-nigh impossible. The belief that a system will work effectively in the next crisis - the character of which is obviously unknown - stretches credulity. Bearing in mind the old adage 'garbage in, garbage out', in addition to beefing up their IT capabilities, firms also need to invest in people and culture to continuously challenge assumptions used. Regular communication between management and staff is also essential. A spreadsheet can only tell you so much.
The consultation closes on 28 September 2012. The Basel Committee expects national supervisors to start discussions with global systemically important banks (G-SIBs) on implementing the principles in early 2013 and for G-SIBs to implement the principles by 2016.
Basel Committee introduces new disclosure requirements on banks' capital composition
The Basel Committee released the final disclosure requirements on the composition of banks' capital on 28 June, following a consultation in December 2011.
As in the previous consultation, the requirements are set out in the following sections:
Post-1 January 2018 disclosure template: a common template for banks to use to report the breakdown of their regulatory capital when the transition period for the phasing-in of deductions ends on 1 January 2018.
Reconciliation requirements: a three step approach to ensure that the Basel III requirement to provide a full reconciliation of all regulatory capital elements back to the published financial statements is met in a consistent manner.
Main features template: a common template for banks to use to meet the Basel III requirement to provide a description of the main features of capital instruments.
Other disclosure requirements: this section sets out how banks should meet the Basel III requirement to provide the full terms and conditions of capital instruments on their websites and the requirement to report the calculation of any ratios involving components of regulatory capital.
Template for transitional period: this is a modified version of the post-1 January 2018 template to be used during the transitional phase.
Disclosure requirements must be implemented no later than 30 June 2013. Banks should comply with the disclosure requirements from the date of publication of their first financial statements on or after 30 June 2013 (with the exception of the post 1 January 2018 template) and publish this disclosure together with their financial statements, regardless of whether or not the financial statements are audited.
Following the move to a unified disclosure regime, supervisors will have a better picture of the capital positions of global banks. Furthermore, the interventions carried out by supervisors should be more effective in the future if capital positions at banks are more transparent across the board.
International consistency on High Frequency Trading?
On 20 June 2012, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) held a public meeting of their Technology Advisory Committee (TAC). The TAC has been considering in detail the potential definitions, classifications and requirements around high frequency trading (HFT) and the use of algorithms in trading. This initiative is likely to address potential regulatory concerns, relating to the quality of algorithms and also the ability of traders and venues to deal with erroneous trades which, given the speed of HFT , can rapidly spiral out of control and move markets.
In November 2011, ESMA published guidelines on systems and controls for automated trading in relation to MiFID I, including considerations relating to HFT which came into effect on 1 May this year. HFT is also being considered in the ongoing negotiations on both the MiFID and MAD revisions, in order to enhance the regime under MiFID I and address issues related to potential market manipulation, respectively. As both the European and US policies develop, we may not see total consistency between the two approaches.
The TAC public hearing comprised a series of workshop presentations, and at this stage it is premature to determine the exact policy stances the CFTC will ultimately take. Clearly, though, the CFTC is adopting a consultative approach, taking advice from a number of working groups constituted with significant numbers of industry representatives. Whilst the hearing output is not 'final' guidance, it gives some indication of possible policy routes.
The clearest of the working group's outputs was that of the group tasked with considering a definition of HFT. They adopted a deliberately broad definition to include future as well as current practice, to avoid potential regulatory arbitrage through a narrow definition.
The definition is proposed for "high frequency trading" is a form of automated trading that employs:
algorithms for decision making, order initiation, generation, routing, or execution, for each individual transaction without human direction
low-latency technology that is designed to minimize response times, including proximity and co-location services
high speed connections to markets for order entry
high message rates (orders, quotes or cancellations).
The definition is described as being deliberately mechanical in approach to achieve neutrality towards trading strategies.
The workshop participants also considered the role of liquidity. They felt that liquidity could be provided, absorbed or balanced by HFT strategies, depending on the approach and method of the trader – perhaps echoing industry sentiment in Europe that a blanket requirement to provide liquidity is inappropriate. However, participants agreed on the need for controls, both in firms and markets, and for further debate surrounding the assessment of algorithms prior to market access.
The CFTC has said it will publish a draft concept release later this summer, addressing the potential risk controls and safeguards for HFT. Those firms with who engage in HFT will need to carefully consider the approach and interaction of their strategies with MiFID, as the Level 1 negotiations progress towards achieving a final compromise text in Europe.

Search this Subject Area:
Subject Area: Political Theory
Political Thought is one of the strengths in the Online Library of Liberty collection. We have gathered a broad range of material stretching back to the ancient world in order to show how ideas about limited and constitutional government have evolved. There is a strong concentration of material from the 18th and 19th centuries when revolutions in America and Europe, designed to create such limited constitutional government, took place. The material on the U.S. Constitution and the Founding Fathers is particularly rich.
The OLL has the complete works of many major political theorists (many of which are older editions and thus are not as "complete" as some modern editions), such as Plato, Tacitus, James Harrington, John Locke, Machiavelli, Montesquieu, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, and Alexander Hamilton. It has the selected works of many others, such as Aristotle, Cicero, Thomas Hobbes, John Milton, Immanuel Kant, Edmund Burke, Richard Cobden, John Stuart Mill, and Herbert Spencer.

Brain Health Achievements
In recognition of National Brain Awareness Week, we want to share our passion and commitment with you by highlighting some of the many things accomplished at The Friedman Brain Institute to make a difference in the fight for brain health.
- We are the first in the northeast to use the Amyvid brain scan to identify the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease in a clinical setting. This will produce major changes in how we identify individuals with the disease, measure the effectiveness of treatments, and provide early interventions. To learn more, please visit the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center.
- Utilizing high-throughput sequencing (HTS), we have identified dozens of new mutations linked to autism. We have established a vast expertise in HTS that is now being used to zero in on new targets for the treatment of Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's, among other conditions. To learn more, please visit the Seaver Autism Center.
- More than 25 new researchers and clinicians have been brought on since 2012 to improve our strengths and build new collaborations across The Friedman Brain Institute in areas as diverse as stem cells, brain imaging, pediatric headache medicine, cognition, and deep brain stimulation.

Been listening on AOL to the follow up to "Guilty" called "Guilty Pleasures". I must say it took a few turns before I started getting into it, but once you're hooked, you're hooked. Mighty fine, wonderfully light stuff, IMO.

For more than a century, work has been a core component of Berry's student experience. Martha Berry understood intuitively that intellectual and practical skills could be combined to powerful effect in educating people known for their work ethic, moral character, integrity, ingenuity and commitment to service.
Rooted in that history, today's Work Experience Program is both an indispensable resource for students and a model for other institutions. Open to any student who desires on-campus employment, the program features more than 300 different types of jobs – including such advanced positions as supervisors of student teams, project managers and CEOs of Student Enterprises .
As they assume increasing responsibility throughout their four years, students are encouraged to take ownership of their experience by embracing the values of personal motivation, service attitude and trustworthiness. The end result for graduates is an impressive resume reflecting the skills and work ethic they have developed through relevant, firsthand work experiences complementing their academic courses of study.
You can help to enrich these experiences through gifts to the FirsthandFund and work-based scholarships . Opportunities are also available to fund advanced work positions. Contact us today!

I worked at Constellation Energy Group full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Benefits are solid and depending on the individual assignment, people seem very loyal and willing to work together.
Cons – A significant number of new employees from other segments of the industry is causing a shift in the culture away from the employee. As the company gets larger, the feeling of being treated as an individual is going away slowly.
Advice to Senior Management – Be more careful regarding advancement. It is not a good idea to hire a group of like minded individuals to the point of group think. Debate and discussion should be encouraged as a means to improve in each area. There is a significant pool of very strong people working there ... give them a voice.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

The low-slung prefab house built for Tim Disney by Blu Homes sits in the otherworldly landscape of Joshua Tree. The indoor-outdoor design, pictured here from the rear, includes generous shaded decks and a detached guest house, out of view here. Its prefab modules were built in less than eight weeks in a factory, then transported by truck and craned into place.

It wasn't until I read Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer for the second time that I really grasped the enormity of Novella Carpenter's drive to prove herself as a farmer, which, at times she says, felt like "the mission of an imbecile."
It's hard to imagine a more unconventional – or difficult - way of carving out an existence for oneself: a squatter on land in an urban neighborhood that initially doesn't feel safe. But it turns out the garbage strewn lot next to her apartment and Oakland's "down and out qualities" are just right for Carpenter and her boyfriend, Bill, to put down roots of all kinds.
The rollicking good ride we get to go on with Carpenter includes massive slug extermination in which the slimy, primitive creatures are ripped in two and then squished between boards (this is organic gardening, after all), prolifically pooping poultry, bees, pigs, rabbits, dumpster diving and scrounged stuff from street corners. Carpenter possesses a love of making something useful again, which she describes as "resurrecting the abandoned." The folks we meet come to life on the page: Lana ("anal spelled backwards"), monks, men that live in wheelless parked cars. The farm changes the neighborhood and the author. Against odds and convention, Carpenter not only exists, but she thrives.
I can't wait to meet her this week!
~ Donna McClurkan, Reading Together Steering Committee
This spring we are inspired by two books that explore the journey of food from farm to table – whether that farm is a large operation fueled by the efforts of migrant workers or something that starts as simply as a personal devotion turning a nearby urban patch into a garden.
Novella Carpenter's memoir Farm City shows how in small steps we can start something simple and transform it into something greater than ourselves. Her experience of growing beyond the garden to include raising animals on a small scale in an urban space is the inspiration behind upcoming programs such as Raising Animals for Food and The Farming Life. People's Food Co-op will offer a Cooking Demonstration using fresh and local ingredients. Beyond Food for Thought will bring together a variety of people sharing how they turned small ideas gleaned here and there into life-changing actions; and we've also planned how-to's on Container Gardening and a Farmers Market 101 where you can learn how to select produce and build relationships with local farmers.
As a journalist, Tracie McMillan goes undercover in The American Way of Eating to reveal the journey of food produced and distributed en masse until reaching its final destination on our plate. Her writing encouraged us to learn more about local stories and challenges of food and as a result, our community has come together in collaboration to present and offer to you The Farmworker Story as told by former farmworkers who advocate for safe and dignified working conditions. The Center for Health Equity will open dialog about Food Security or Food Justice: Does it Really Matter? We also have a Midday Film Series of three food documentaries; and we look forward to sharing the Midwestern food experience with authors Peggy Wolff and Bonnie Jo Campbell.
In addition to a grand variety of "side" program selections to choose from, our plate would not be complete without the main dishes: the Reading Together Committee is proud to present to you About the Author programs, where you will be able to meet and hear firsthand the experiences from each of our featured authors Novella and Tracie.
Our Kalamazoo Community will undoubtedly have plenty of food for thought throughout this season, and we look forward to reading, learning, and sharing food ideas (and food!) with you!

I can't say I've ever lived next door to someone attempting to live as Novella Carpenter does at Ghost Town Farms, i.e., raising not only vegetables but also animals for food.
I imagine the challenges for both the farmer and the neighbor are both complex and sensitive, and I was particularly interested to read about this unfortunate situation in Minnesota.

Reno guard Jakob Rolling dropped in a layup with 3:30 to go in the game, knotting the conference clash at 49-49. That's as good as it got for the hosts. Spanish Springs' Kenny Meyer made a driving layup and then connected on 1 of 2 free throws. Next, the Cougars got a TJ McCauley runner to fall through the twine, pushing their lead to 54-49 with 1:13 left in the game.
Reno's Kyle Mahaffey caught the Cougars sleeping. He streaked down the court and made a layup just seconds after McCauley's bucket, trimming the SSHS lead to 54-51. Reno got a defensive stop on the Cougars' next possession, but Spanish Springs guard Connor Naisbitt picked off a Huskies pass and bolted down court before getting fouled. He drained two free throws with 7.8 ticks to go, accounting for the final 56-51 margin.
Spanish Springs (5-2, 3-1) was bigger, but got hurt by giving Reno easy shots in the lane and multiple chances after a first missed shot. Those Cougar deficiencies helped Reno (1-6, 1-2) hang around throughout the contest.
"You win on the road in a place you haven't won a lot in the past, we'll take that win anytime," Spanish Springs coach Kyle Penney said. "But we weren't real fundamentally sound in either of those categories. As a team, we had some guys who did a decent job in terms of their (defensive) responsibilities, but rebounding really hurt us. They missed shots and we'd just give up two or three shots. That's never going to be good for you.
"We finished the game, but we were pretty sloppy. Credit that to Reno. We only had 12 turnovers but it felt like more than that. They forced us into bad shot selection, put us against the wall. Our kids finished it out the right way. We got some rebounds and were able to get it done."
The Cougars got off to a solid start. Trailing 8-5 midway through the first quarter, the guests got it going. They ripped off 10 straight points and wound up taking a 17-9 lead by the first quarter's conclusion.
Unfortunately for fans of the Purple and Silver, it could not keep the momentum. Reno outscored Spanish Springs 21-9 in the second period and had taken a 30-29 advantage at the intermission.
The two teams traded buckets in the third period and faced a 42-42 deadlock, heading into the final period. A putback by Rolling forged Reno ahead, 44-43, a minute into the fourth quarter but it was the last Huskies' lead of the night.
Spanish Springs answered by scoring 11 of the next 16 points to put the game away in crunchtime.
McCauley finished with 17 points to lead all scorers. He also pulled down 12 rebounds and blocked five shots. Still, he got help from his SSHS teammates. Meyer added 16 points and Austin Damoth chipped in 15. The offensive balance from that trio was much needed as the rest of the Cougars' roster managed only eight points.
"Yeah that was huge and especially from those three guys," Penney said. "That's great to see. If we're going to be really good, that's going to need to happen on a daily basis. We got a good job from some of our bench guys too, but we've got to be able to execute on offense a little longer to get Kenny more good looks, instead of just taking that first look."
Spanish Springs gets a break from league play this weekend. It will host Central Catholic of Merced Friday at 7 p.m. and Nevada Union, Calif. at 4:30 p.m. Saturday.

Celeb: Josh Duhamel
Designer: Ralph Lauren
Event: 'Safe Haven' Premiere, Los Angeles
Verdict: Okay. Let me just say this: I know most women think Josh is a total babe. And I definitely don't think there is anything wrong with him, but I have just never gotten all goo-goo-ga-ga over him. I think it might be because of my distaste for Fergie, I don't know. But whatever. Clearly Josh is a good-looking guy. And I do love a man in a suit. Especially a perfectly tailored suit. And I really like this blue Ralph Lauren suit complete with matching blue lace-up shoes. A pale gray shirt and burgundy tie provide the perfect finishing touches. The only problem I have with this look: the length of the pants. I think they could stand to be a teeny, tiny bit shorter. But other than that miniscule detail, Josh looks great. Quite dapper, really.
What do you think? Do you like Josh in this blue Ralph Lauren two-button notched-lapel suit? Love it or loathe it? Yay or nay?

Year 2000 Computing Crisis:
Strong Leadership and Effective Partnerships Needed to Mitigate Risks
T-AIMD-98-276: Published: Sep 1, 1998. Publicly Released: Sep 1, 1998.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO discussed the year 2000 computer system risks facing the nation, focusing on: (1) GAO's major concerns with the federal government's progress in correcting its systems; (2) state and local government year 2000 issues; and (3) critical year 2000 data exchange issues.
GAO noted that: (1) the public faces a high risk that critical services provided by the government and the private sector could be severely disrupted by the year 2000 computing crisis; (2) the year 2000 could cause problems for the many facilities used by the federal government that were built or renovated within the last 20 years and contain embedded computer systems to control, monitor, or assist in operations; (3) overall, the government's 24 major departments and agencies are making slow progress in fixing their systems; (4) in May 1997, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) reported that about 21 percent of the mission-critical systems for these departments and agencies were year 2000 compliant; (5) in May 1998, these departments reported that 40 percent of the mission-critical systems were year 2000 compliant; (6) unless progress improves dramatically, a substantial number of mission-critical systems will not be compliant in time; (7) in addition to slow governmentwide progress in fixing systems, GAO's reviews of federal agency year 2000 programs have found uneven progress; (8) some agencies are significantly behind schedule and are at high risk that they will not fix their systems in time; (9) other agencies have made progress, although risks continue and a great deal of work remains; (10) governmentwide priorities in fixing systems have not yet been established; (11) these governmentwide priorities need to be based on such criteria as the potential for adverse health and safety effects, adverse financial effects on American citizens, detrimental effects on national security, and adverse economic consequences; (12) business continuity and contingency planning across the government has been inadequate; (13) in their May 1998 quarterly reports to OMB, only four agencies reported that they had drafted contingency plans for their core business processes; (14) OMB's assessment of the status of federal year 2000 progress is predominantly based on agency reports that have not been consistently reviewed or verified; (15) GAO found cases in which agencies' systems' compliance status as reported to OMB had been inaccurate; (16) end-to-end testing responsibilities have not yet been defined; (17) state and local governments also face a major risk of year 2000-induced failures to the many vital services that they provide; (18) recent surveys of state year 2000 efforts have indicated that much remains to be completed; and (19) at the time of GAO's review, much work remained to ensure that federal and state data exchanges will be year 2000 compliant.

Zaiman is one of the Scouts in her troop that are boycotting the annual Girl Scout cookie sale, which starts this Saturday. The scouts are sitting out the cookie sale to protest plans to sell off some of their camps. Financial pressures and declining membership have led the Girl Scouts of Minnesota and Wisconsin River Valleys council to sell four of its 12 camps. The sales have upset some Girl Scouts and leaders, who have formed an opposition group. (AP Photo/Star Tribune, Tom Wallace)

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — CONCORD (AP) — Former state Senate Majority Leader Maggie Hassan will keep New Hampshire governor's seat in Democratic control after she beat Republican Ovide Lamontagne, an opponent she said was too extreme for the state.
With her win, Hassan is in line to succeed John Lynch, the governor since 2005 who served four two-year terms and is retiring.
Hassan's campaign stressed the need to repair damage done by the Republican Legislature in its last budget, particularly by restoring deep cuts to public colleges and the state's hospitals. She said the way to grow the economy is to invest in education so business has the workforce it needs.
Lamontagne had claimed Hassan was a tax-and-spend liberal who would grow government.
Both Hassan, 54, of Exeter, and Lamontagne, 55, of Manchester, are business attorneys and campaigned on the need to grow the economy and jobs.
Hassan argued education was the key and said she would reverse the $50 million in annual cuts the Legislature made to the University System of New Hampshire in the last budget. She would help pay for the aid by raising the cigarette tax and hiring auditors to ensure businesses pay their taxes.
She also would double the state's business research and development tax credit.
Lamontagne proposed cutting the state's tax on business profits from 8.5 percent to 8 percent over two years by finding spending to cut to offset the loss of an estimated $27 million in revenue. He also proposed new tax credits to help business and promised to ease regulations.
Lamontagne proudly touted his conservatism and embraced support from New Hampshire's loosely organized tea party as matching his views of limited government and low taxes. He took New Hampshire's traditional pledge to veto a personal income or general sales tax. The state has neither.
Lamontagne argued Hassan would support an income or sales tax — despite her pledge to also veto them. He promised not to raise taxes a single dime.
Hassan criticized Lamontagne for promising to spend more money on services for the disabled and hospital aid without saying where he would make cuts to pay for the spending.
Lamontagne, a Catholic, strongly opposes abortion and gay marriage, though he did not emphasize his support for imposing limits on abortion or repealing New Hampshire's same-sex marriage law in his campaign. He supports replacing gay marriage with civil unions for heterosexual and same-sex couples but doesn't support invalidating existing same-sex marriages. He also supports exempting religious organizations from contraceptive mandates in insurance coverage.
Hassan highlighted her support for the rights of workers to unionize, for women to have access to abortions and birth control and for gays to marry. Hassan was instrumental in the Senate passing the state's law legalizing same-sex unions in 2009. An effort to repeal it fell short this year.
Both supported a limited expansion of gambling. He would allow one high-end casino at Rockingham Park, a horse track in Salem, while she would consider one or two casinos based on a bidding process.
The race was Hassan's first try for governor and Lamontagne's second bid. He lost to Democrat Jeanne Shaheen, now a U.S. senator, in 1996. He also ran unsuccessful campaigns for Congress in 1992 and U.S. Senate in 2010.
Hassan lost her first bid for state Senate in 2002, but won the seat in the following election. She was defeated during a Republican sweep in 2010.

The symposium explored a topic timely and relevant to older urban areas
SESSION I – Public Use: Fifth Amendment Limits on the Use of Eminent Domain
This panel considers the extent to which the Fifth Amendment, which provides that "nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation" - limits the purposes for which the government's eminent domain power can be used. Specifically, the panel examines the extent to which the Fifth Amendment should be read to limit or preclude the use of eminent domain for blight remediation, economic development, or other economic purposes, or whether "public use" constitutes any and all uses deemed by the legislature or other political bodies to be in the public interest. While through much of the 20th century courts gave state and local governments rather wide discretion in determining what constitutes a "public use," in recent years some courts have begun to read "public use" more narrowly.

SESSION II – The Value of Eminent Domain: An Effective Economic Development Strategy?
This panel addresses the policy questions raised by eminent domain, specifically the extent to which the eminent domain power is necessary, or even useful, for urban economic development. While there is little dispute that eminent domain is an important governmental tool for traditional public purposes, such as road construction and the like, there is much dispute over whether use of eminent domain to spur economic development is, in practice, an effective economic development strategy. Speakers address the pros and cons of using eminent domain as a policy tool and potential alternatives to eminent domain.

SESSION III – Debate
The Supreme Court has accepted certiorari in the case of Kelo et al v. City of New London to consider whether the Fifth Amendment authorizes the exercise of eminent domain to promote economic development, in this case to help a government increase its tax revenue and to create jobs. The debate features representatives of the two sides (or sympathetic amici) to give listeners a sense of the arguments that will be heard by the court.

Some people might be offended by the colloquialism boldly printed by the RGJ. The writer's blunt truth, however, is undeniable.
Nor was the writer, Stuart Pardee of Gardnerville, a Catholic basher. Mr. Pardee deplored the selection of a man "who appears to have one agenda: maintain the status quo." His letter added:
"As a lifelong Catholic, I am watching firsthand the slow, steady demise of the Catholic Church because it refuses to change with the times. Sixty to 70 percent of people who attend Mass are more than 60 years old. The vast majority of priests are more than 60 years old with few studying to replace them."
Selection of a reactionary like Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina was received with joy by most Argentines. He is one of theirs. Even two UK Guardian journalists in Argentina proclaimed the election "the most radical change in the Catholic Church in more than 50 years."
Not true. New Pope Francis is as medieval-minded as his predecessor, Benedict XVI.
Pope Francis promises:
• War on poverty. Fine.
• Opposition to perpetual war. Fine.
• Protection of the environment. Fine.
• Focus on the spiritual. Fine
Other fine qualities:
• He's humble.
• He's down to earth.
• He's noted as "the slum pope."
• He's a simple guy, cooking his own dinner and living in an apartment rather than an opulent mansion.
• He sips mate, traditional Argentine herbal tea, with the folks in the baristas.
• He used public transport.
Moreover, he loves soccer and the tango, Argentine passions. That too is fine. But Francis refuses to address the church's central problem: musty doctrines. Such as: Celibate priests, no women in the priesthood, opposition to birth control, opposition to condoms, opposition to gay marriage, opposition to adoption of children by gay couples, opposition to premarital sex and banning communion for divorced couples.
Francis opposes all those essentials to bring his church into the modern era for 1.2 billion Catholics worldwide.
Liberation theology? The Jesuit Francis opposes it even though it was advocated by Jesuits in Latin America 50 years ago.
The aim of liberation theology was liberation from unjust economic, political and social conditions. In other words, social justice and human rights. In America, "liberation theology" has long been espoused by the socialist aims of the Catholic Worker Movement.
Detractors call it mere "Christianized Marxism." This is not the place to argue the pros and cons of Marxian theories. But there is far more Marx in Jesus than Christians will admit.
As the feisty Brazilian archbishop of Recife, Dom Héldes Câmara, said: "When I give food to the poor they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food they call me a communist."
Bergogilo as archbishop in Buenos Aires said of gay marriage: "Let's not be naïve. This isn't a simple political fight. It's an attempt to destroy God's plan." As a cardinal, Bergogilo said that adoption by same-sex couples was "a war against god" and "a maneuver by the devil."
When the Argentine Supreme Court expanded access to abortion in rape cases, Cardinal Bergoglio opposed. When Argentine President Christina Kirchner proposed legalizing gay marriage and providing free contraceptives, Cardinal Bergoglio opposed.
One critic compared his tone "to medieval times and the Inquisition."
Jake Highton is an emeritus journalism professor at the University of Nevada, Reno.
