Kaley Graham and the Menendez girls soccer team had an easy time with University Christian on Friday night, winning in an mercy-rule, 8-0 fashion.
Graham had a hat trick and led three players to score multiple goals against the Christians.
Lauren Hopfensperger and Sophie Bellavista each scored a pair of goals and Kayla Kersey had the other for the 3-1 Falcons.
Kersey also had two assists, while Graham, Brenna Croft, Rebekah Kirkley, Ashley Waldron, Lora Vaughan and Victoria Landis assisted on one goal apiece.
Boys soccer
The Menendez soccer team is feeling good after two easy wins to open the season.
The Falcons rocked University Christian 9-1 on Friday night, getting four goals and an assist from Alex Monzon and two goals and an assist from Mohammad Shehab to improve to 2-0. The match ended early, due to the mercy rule. A night earlier, the Falcons blanked Clay 2-0 to start the season.
Outside of Monzon and Shehab's offensive evenings, Jared Rice, Kevin Halkin and Chad Harris found the net against the Christians. Scott Eddins had two assists, while Munier Saadeh, Mike Traynor, Mike Sellers, James Riley and Hank Klein tallied the other assists.
On Thursday, Sellers and Shehab found the net against the Blue Devils and Menendez got a shutout in the net by Riley Monahan to beat Clay.

I've seen something like what you want, but on a 2D tiled multidirection kind of game. I suppose the same could be achieved if you created small tiles that have a few options in what they can merge into( grass texture A can merge into texture B, C, and D to the right. This makes random generation of placement of textures ) and you can even break up some textures into their own thing like vines could be littered around and the same for foliage or small objects that protrude from the game. But making things like the sloping hills or even making it look nice would take lots of varying options( like a lot of lots ).
It seems like too much work, art and programming wise to even bother to implement. Hand drawing the map is the easiest and most effective way to do it and will end up looking more aesthetically pleasing. The only thing it wouldn't work for is randomly generated maps that are unique from each other which would be one of the few reasons to do it the harder way( Look at terraria, it achieves this and looks very good, but you can still see gaps in the fluidity ).

Larusson, H J; Zingg, U; Hahnloser, D; Delport, K; Seifert, Burkhardt; Oertli, D (2009). Predictive factors for morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair: age, ASA score and operation type influence morbidity. World Journal of Surgery, 33(5):980-985.

View at publisher
BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia (PEH) repair risk substantial morbidity. The aim of the present study was to analyze predictive factors for postoperative morbidity and mortality. METHODS: A total of 354 laparoscopic PEH repairs were analyzed from the database of the Swiss Association for Laparoscopic and Thoracoscopic Surgery (SALTS). Age (<70 and >/=70 years) and risk (low: American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores 1 + 2; high ASA scores 3 + 4) groups were defined and multivariate logistic regression was conducted. RESULTS: In patients >/=70 years of age postoperative morbidity (24.4% versus 10.1%; p = 0.001) and mortality (2.4% versus 0%; p = 0.045) were significantly higher than in patients <70 years of age. In patients with gastropexy, this significant age difference was again present (38.8% versus 10.5%; p = 0.001) whereas in patients with fundoplication no difference between age groups occurred (11.9% versus 10.1%; p = 0.65). Mortality did not differ. High-risk patients had a significantly higher morbidity (26.0% versus 11.2%; p = 0.001) but not mortality (2.1% versus 0.4%; p = 0.18). The multivariate logistic regression identified the following variables as influencing postoperative morbidity: Age >/=70 years (Odds Ratio [OR] 1.99 [95% CI 1.06 to 3.74], p = 0.033); ASA 3 + 4 (OR 2.29 [95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.22 to 4.3]; p = 0.010); type of operation (gastropexy) (OR 2.36 [95% CI 1.27 to 4.37]; p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS: In patients undergoing laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair age, ASA score, and type of operation significantly influence postoperative morbidity and mortality. Morbidity is substantial among elderly patients and those with co-morbidity, questioning the paradigm for surgery in all patients. The indication for surgery must be carefully balanced against the individual patient's co-morbidities, age, and symptoms, and the potentially life threatening complications.

Leo Fender is a name that is known far and wide in the music industry. After all, he is the man who drew the blueprint for the modern electric guitar during his time with the Fender Guitar Company. Though Leo eventually sold his company, he never stopped building and refining his amazing solid body electric guitars designs, which is what led him to form G&L Musical Instruments in the late 70s with George Fullerton and Dale Hyatt.
G&L solid body electric guitars have a lot in common (naturally) with Fender guitars, especially when you look at their body shapes. That being said, G&L guitars offer distinct innovations that really help them to stand out from the pack. These innovations have captured the attention of plenty of big name artists, including Art Alexakis, Garry Beers, Jerry Cantrell, Jerry Dixon, Andrew W.K., and more. Now it's your time to find out what all of the fuss is about.
G&L has some seriously top notch solid body electric guitars available to you, so you know that no matter which one you choose, you'll be getting something special. Honestly, your selection is probably just going to come down to personal preference. If you're not entirely sure where to begin your search, why not check out our best sellers? For example, options such as the Tribute ASAT Deluxe Carved Top Electric Guitar or the Tribute ASCARI GT90 Electric Guitar might be absolutely perfect for you, especially if you're looking for an affordable instrument with roaring tone you can make all your own.
If you're a more established player who is looking for a guitar that is truly special to show off your chops, you'll want to spend some time with the Comanche Electric Guitar. This guitar comes fully loaded with versatile electronics and a sweet performance vibrato. This guitar was the last double-cutaway guitar ever designed by Leo Fender, and is considered to represent the culmination of everything he had learned throughout his illustrious career. With a pedigree like that, it's no wonder this guitar is so popular.
Regardless of the G&L solid body electric guitar you choose, you can rest assured it will bring your playing to life like never before. After all, these are guitars that were designed by Leo Fender, the grandfather of the modern guitar! He believed his work with G&L to be the best he had ever done, and we're proud to say that he was right.

I'm a beginner brewer, but I've noticed that on every batch I've done so far, when the wort is boiling, and I stir the wort, it ends up behaving this way. Can anyone explain why this happens?

I see you can change brightness and contract but is there a way to just change opacity?
As I have an image that I want to make the background.
If you want use image as page background, then better is use as watermark.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HP051896401033.aspx (out-of-date?)
Link: Insert-change-or-remove-background-colors-images-or-text-in-a-Word-2007-document
Steps to Turn a picture into a background or watermark
On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Background group, click Watermark.
Click Printed Watermark.
Click Picture watermark, and then click Select Picture.
Select the picture that you want, and then click Insert.
Select a percentage under Scale to insert the picture at a particular size
Select the Washout check box to lighten the picture so that it doesn't interfere with text.
The picture that you selected is applied as a watermark to the entire document.
In Office 2003 there is a setting called Washout.
Right click on the image, pick Format Picture. Under Image Control, Color, set the dropdown to Washout.
In Office 2007, it looks like they got rid of washout and added Recolor.
In Microsoft Office Word 2010, you could set the recolour option to washout after selecting a picture and it will be transparent.
I think this also works in Microsoft Office Word 2007.
i wound up just changing it in a photo editing program and reimporting it into word
The washout in 2010 isn't actually transparency/opacity. For instance if you overlay that image on top of something else, you won't see anything through it. It's just a lighter image. It would work fine as a watermark in the background.
Word 2010 semi-transparent picture workaround
The above answer gave me the idea to try MS Powerpoint.
If you want your image to be completely transparent, then you will need to use the set transparency option in MS Powerpoint first (search for instructions on this on google) and then follow the above instructions.

Airport raises £1,350 in charity cake days
Tuesday 05 April 2011
The armed forces charity Help for Heroes has benefited from Exeter Airport's Colossal Cake Sale event at the weekend when £1,350 was raised.
Members of staff were asked support the airport's adopted charity for 2011 on the 1st and 2nd April, by making and buying cakes for the event and assisting with the running of the event at the tables.
In return for a donation to the charity; coffee or tea was served to passenger and employees along with a choice of cakes, from muffins and cup cakes to sponges and fruit cakes.
Chris Beer, Exeter Airport's manager responsible for charity fundraising said: "The two days fund-raising proved to be a fantastic success. At one stage before the event my office was completely full of boxes and tins of treats made to wonderful standard. The enthusiasm and the baking talent within our workforce was outstanding.
"I have also never seen so much staff and passenger generously before, with £20 notes being put in to the buckets in return for the smallest cakes."

3G for Moblin 2.1
The Moblin project has released version 2.1 of its Linux system optimized for Intel Atom processors. It provides countless detailed changes and new features.
According to the announcement from Imad Sousou, director of Intel's Open Source Technology Center, the current release incorporates many bugfixes based on feedback from users and the developer community. The browser was first among important changes that included extended plugin support and a new graphical interface that scales well to nettops with higher screen resolutions.
Other new features include support for Ericsson 3G modems (with other such modems to follow) and a modified ConnMan connection manager that also supports 3G. All mobile browsing limitations have thus been eliminated.
Also newly integrated in Moblin is the Application Installer that draws applications from the Moblin Garage. With an upgrade to Clutter 1.0, animations have undergone quite some improvement, although multitouch support is still missing in the current release.
Moblin also incorporates instant messaging improvements and new localizations. A community translation project goes further by supporting languages not yet officially part of Moblin.
Apart from Clutter 1.0, developers have added a few components to the Linux system, among them Kernel 2.6.31, X Server 1.6.4 and Mesa 7.6.
Moblin 2.1 is available for download as images from Linux kernel mirrors.

Recipes and Stories from Three Generations of Southern Cooking
Ten Speed Press, Hardcover, 9781580088534, 312pp.
Publication Date: May 6, 2008
Ellen Silverman's photographs appear regularloy in magazines such as Eating Well and Food & Wine, and she has photographed numerous cookbooks and cookbook covers. She maintains a studio in New York.
IACP International Association of Culinary Professionals Cookbook Awards, American Category Finalist
"Magnificent color photos; detailed, helpful tips; and Willis's cheerful, trustworthy guidance makes this an original and welcome newcomer to a classic cookbook library."
—Publishers Weekly
"Bourbon Sweet Potatoes, Mama's Orange Glazed Cornish Game Hens, and Brown-Sugar Shortcakes are only a few of the appealing dishes to make you swoon."
—Ladies' Home Journal "Cookbooks We Love" feature
"Simple, great ingredients are the hallmark of this book, whose recipes display a great flair for techniques that are Southern and European. The food becomes timeless and borderless. . . . It's Southern, sure, but with a refreshing twist."
—Raleigh News & Observer
"Gorgeously photographed and filled with warm notes about recipes learned from her mother, grandparents, and friends, it seems designed as an ideal Mother's Day gift."
—Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"The author of this wonderful book, Virginia Willis, has put together the food of her native Georgia and her classical French techniques to create this really pretty book. I love it. I love the photographs. I love the writing in it. It's really, really nice."
—Martha Stewart
"A glorious celebration of food . . . Willis serves up great stories with her tasty dishes, and explains techniques with great clarity. The photography sizzles and the colors pop in one of the nicest cookbooks I've read in a long time (and the food is delicious)."
—Louisville Courier Journal
"The recipes can find a home in any cook's kitchen, especially if those cooks long for the rich, historical flavors of the South."
—San Francisco Chronicle
"The recipes all sound delicious but what makes these recipes shine are the stories of the people and places closest to Willis' heart."
"Virginia Willis is as warm and gracious a belle as you could ever hope to meet. These two qualities shine through brilliantly in her approach to food and cooking. In her writing and recipes, she reminds us again of the powerful and meaningful bond that good, honest food, carefully prepared and shared with those we love, can render. We are fortunate to be shown a place at her table."
—Scott Peacock, coauthor of The Gift of Southern Cooking
"Most Southern cookbooks, even the really good ones, usually feel and taste somewhat provincial, as though their cuisine can only exist below the Mason-Dixon line. Virginia Willis's cuisine is the opposite. Although her food is undeniably Southern, it comes across as international, universal even. Other than Patricia Wells and Marcella Hazan, I cannot think of another cook who has managed to pull this off."
—Alton Brown, host of Good Eats
"Southern hospitality with French flair: it's a winning combination. Virginia Willis bases this enticing book on her family's traditional Southern cooking, weaving in the classic French techniques she learned herself in France. Her recipes are precise and easy to follow, and her book distills the essence of her warm-hearted, welcoming style. 'Bon appétit, y'all' says it all!"
—Anne Willan, author of La Varenne Pratique
"When it comes to food, Virginia can perform miracles. She is a master of Southern cooking and she's an incredibly talented writer. This book has one sensational recipe after another, fascinating stories, and great science tips. Don't wait for the Super Bowl to make her award-winning Coca-Cola– Glazed Wings, wonderfully tender and sweet-hot. Talk about good!"
—Shirley o. Corriher, author of CookWise
"Virginia Willis is a proud daughter of the South who, by way of butter beans, okra, biscuits, and dumplings, honors her kith, her kin, her place."
—John T. Edge, director, Southern Foodways Alliance

Testing for the Onset of Fertility Decline: An Illustration with the Case of Egypt
This paper describes and illustrates how the economic household production model can be taken as a frame of reference to test the stage of the fertility transition for a given society. Egypt during the 1970s and early 1980s is taken as the setting to illustrate the test. Egyptian fertility trends from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s puzzled demographers and social scientists. It was not known if Egypt was at the onset of a sustainable fertility decline by the early 1980s. The illustration exercise shows that the Egyptian household fertility behaviour during this period fits poorly with the model specification corresponding to a post-transition society. We find that fertility by the end of the 1970s was not endogenous to other household decisions, and conclude that a sustained decline in fertility was unlikely without this endogeneity. These results agree with previous literature on the fertility transition in Egypt. The paper concludes with limitations of the empirical test presented, laying emphasis on the lessons learned to examine the stage of the fertility transition in any society. The conclusions also highlight the importance of considering the stage of the transition in order to specify fertility models appropriately.

SIFF SIFF 2007: Audience Awards
posted by June 17 at 13:23 PMon
I've always advocated the embarrassing/not embarrassing strategy for voting in the Golden Space Needle Awards: vote 5 on any movie you'd be OK with winning the audience award; vote 1 on any movie you couldn't stand winning the audience award. Unfortunately, this strategy is difficult to stick to. Everyone wants to register his or her precise opinion, blind to the fact that any careful discernment is going to mashed into an indifferent mean.
Yet again, the Golden Space Needle Award winner is kind of embarrassing. This morning at the Skyline level of the Space Needle (where I, coincidentally, had my high school prom), SIFF announced that Outsourced—a fairly mediocre romantic comedy distinguished only by the fact that it's locally produced—is this year's top vote-getter. Thanks so much, Seattle, for demonstrating to the rest of the world that we're a bunch of dopey partisans. Outsourced plays again at the Egyptian tonight at 9:30 pm.
The Golden Space Needle for best documentary is less embarrassing, though it probably proves mostly that Seattle is full of gays who like documentaries. For the Bible Tells Me So will play again tonight at the Harvard Exit at 6:30 pm.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - Last week the Goober 95.1 WGGC and the United Way teamed up to put books in the hands of children. For hosting a radiothon and helping the non-profit, we're honoring the team at WGGC as this week's Hometown Heroes.
It's a dream of Dolly Parton's to ensure that all children have books.
Her dream is now an international effort that's supported right here in South Central Kentucky.
The United Way of Southern Kentucky and Goober 95.1 WGGC recently hosted a radiothon to raise money for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.
"Anytime our station can be involved in the community and help make a difference in the lives of kids right here where it matters the most is always something to be incredibly proud of," said Moose Michaels, a DJ at WGGC.
The DJ's at WGGC and several volunteers took donations to sponsor children in our area.
"The volunteers are wonderful, they've spent hours on end here and they seem to be excited about being a part of this as well," said Kelly Austin, a DJ at WGGC.
"It's nice to have that sort of partnership that we can all say we're all in this together," said Steve Wallace, the President/CEO of the United Way of Southern KY.
"It's my kid and it's their kids and the relatable part of this job is the most fun and the most rewarding too," said Greg Almond, a DJ for WGGC.
Their efforts raised $7,500 so 250 more children can be enrolled in the program.
"The people at WGGC have been great, very gracious, very good hosts for us. It's something they're very excited about and it's something... helping out with the United Way I hope it becomes a yearly event," said Andrew Rash, a volunteer.
"Having them on board makes it that bigger and better of an event," said Mindy Johnson, a volunteer.
For supporting the children of our community, we honor the team at WGGC and their volunteers as this week's Hometown Heroes.

Adding support for Apple's AirPlay gets us even closer to our goal to offer easy access to all the music on the planet. If you have a subscription with one of our on-demand music partners, you're already pretty well covered in this arena, but as Sound and Vision puts it, "AirPlay's a very useful protocol, and it certainly extends the Sonos system's usefulness."
For one, the new feature means that any friend that walks into your home with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch can quickly and easily share any track from his or her device on your Sonos music system – no docking required.
Another great AirPlay function? You can play music from any AirPlay-enabled iOS app. That means that you can now play any of your favorite iPhone music apps – say, Slacker – through your Sonos setup, even if we don't yet natively support it.
But perhaps our favorite way to use AirPlay on Sonos goes beyond the traditional music streaming app. There's nothing quite like kicking back on the couch with an iPad running SPIN Play, which lets you stream songs while browsing graphically-appealing articles from the eponymous magazine. And we just can't put down Discovr, an innovative discovery app with a variety of music-related content, including an interactive family tree that shows the musical connections between various artists.
Finally, let's not forget one of the main benefits of AirPlay on Sonos: it's the only way you can enjoy AirPlay in true, multi-room Party Mode. No other system lets you send a song from an iOS device and stream it in multiple rooms simultaneously. And as always, Sonos lets you play different tracks throughout the home. You can listen to an iPhone playlist in the living room, an album from iTunes in the kitchen, and a Pandora station in the bedroom – all at the same time.
What are your favorite apps that use AirPlay audio?

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: May 01st, 2004
Running Time: 91
Director: Skeeter Kerkove
Company: Rosebud Video
Cast: Byron Long, J. Monty, Jordan Styles, Boz, Daphne Rose, Monique (I), Cameron James, Sledge Hammer, Vanessa (VII)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Filler. But note that while all the girls wear fetish-light garb, James is never seen on the tape in that smokin\' black kink costume that\'s featured prominently on the misleading box cover, the primary reason this critic chose this title to review.
Skeeter Kerkove's latest for Rosebud is workmanlike interracial anal fare, not up to his usual smokin' standards, though the Ben English/Monique closer is a hyper-energized barnburner.
Then again, how couldn't it be with those two superb sexual performers? English, the reigning AVN Best Male Newcomer, reams Monique's asshole in various and sundry positions, and she, in turn, transforms into her usual sex demon-possessed, wild woman, out-energizing even English, which is a rare feat. Crackling with the voltage the rest of the title lacks, it's deserving of a Best Sex Scene Coupling pre-nom.
The preceding scene features newcomer Vanessa, an attractive Hispanic, who, for a beginner, isn't a half bad performer as her booty gets nailed by big Sledge Hammer.
The first two scenes - Cameron James/Daphne Rose/Byron Long and (freshman) Jordan Styles/Boz/J. Monty - are more routine, though they do have their moments.

Who's in Charge Here?
On Libya, there's confusion over both goals and authority.
The U.N.-authorized Libya operation has made "good progress" militarily, reports the German magazine Der Spiegel. "But that, it seems, was the easy part." Uh-oh:
Far more difficult are the questions of who should now lead the mission and what the operation's ultimate objectives should be.
The US government, wary of getting stuck in another war in a Muslim country, would like to hand control of the mission over to NATO, but the alliance is divided. At a meeting on Monday, NATO ambassadors failed to agree on whether the alliance should take control of the mission. NATO involvement would require approval by all 28 members.
France has opposed handing control to NATO because of Arab skepticism about the alliance, which is perceived as being dominated by the US. . . . Turkey, an alliance member which sees itself as a bridge to the Muslim world, is opposing NATO control of the operation. . . . Britain and Italy want the alliance to be in charge of the operation, however.
London's Daily Mail reports that the Germans--whose diplomats helped draft the U.N. resolution authorizing the operation, then refused to vote for it because it was too strong--are withdrawing assets from the Mediterranean "after fears they would be drawn into the conflict if NATO takes over control from the U.S."
Here in America, meanwhile, the Obama administration is sending mixed signals. Actually, "mixed" doesn't quite do it justice. It's more like pureed, chopped or whipped signals. Yesterday Attorney General Eric Holder told a news conference: "I think that, you know, Gadhafi's presence, continued presence in Libya is something that has got to end, given the fact that he's lost all legitimacy with his people."
We're still waiting for the interior secretary to weigh in, but as long as the attorney general is making pronouncements about foreign-policy strategy, we're glad at least that he's clear. Gadhafi must go!
Or must he? President Obama, in a CNN interview yesterday, observed that "Gadhafi may try to hunker down and wait it out even in the face of a no-fly zone, even though his forces have been degraded." Which is true enough as an analytical matter, but when we first read the quote, with no further context, we worried that it was a show of weakness. Were we right? Here's what the president said next:
But keep in mind that we don't just have military tools at our disposal in terms of accomplishing Gadhafi's leaving. We put in place strong international sanctions. We've frozen his assets. We will continue to apply a whole range of pressure on him.
This is, to say the least, an unconventional approach. It's like holding a gun to a criminal's head and telling him you're not going to shoot, but if he doesn't cooperate, he may be subject to a stiff fine. It's so counterintuitive that one wonders if it is some sort of brilliant reverse-psychology ploy.
David Rothkopf of Foreign Policy magazine quotes this clarification of the administration's policy from White House speechwriter Ben Rhodes:
Given the fact that there has been some reporting off of a quote from the gaggle, the quote that says "they underscored their shared commitment of helping provide the people of Libya the opportunity to transform their country by installing a system of government that is democratic and responsive to the will of the people," we're clarifying, as we've said repeatedly, that the effort of our military operation is not regime change, that as we actually say in this READOUT, it's the Libyan people who are going to make their determinations about the future. We support their aspirations, their democratic aspirations, and have stated that Gaddafi should go because he's lost their confidence.
And here's more Obama from CNN.com:
"Our hope is that the first thing that happens once we clear this space is that the rebels start discussing how they're able to organize themselves, how they articulate their aspirations for the Libyan people," Obama said. . . . In particular, Obama said he hoped that the Libyan people decide it was time for a change that ends up sweeping Gadhafi from power.
So the U.S. objective is to get Libyans talking? That's so typical of Obama, we have to conclude he's just being himself. So much for the brilliant reverse-psychology fake-out theory.
On the other hand, let's make three quick points in Obama's favor. First, there may be an upside to his languid approach to foreign policy. America should not grovel to other governments to let it act in their interests, as John "Global Test" Kerry urged back in 2004. But Obama isn't doing that. He has struck a pose of such indifference that France and the Arab League ended up begging the U.S. to show some leadership. In geostrategic terms this may not be an improvement over the activist early Bush years, but it's satisfying to see these self-involved "allies" put in their place.
Second, Politico reports that "some foreign leaders are asking that the Nobel Committee take back the peace prize it awarded Obama in 2009." Somebody--not clear if it was a foreign leader or just a follower--said on Twitter: "Barack Obama has now fired more cruise missiles than all other Nobel Peace prize winners combined." How many cruise missiles did Rigoberta Menchu, Jody Williams or even Yasser Arafat even have?
Third, albeit unrelated to Libya, Politico reports that a Chilean reporter asked Obama to apologize for long-ago U.S. support of Augusto Pinochet, the American-backed military dictator who ruled brutally but did save his country from communism. Obama's response:
"I think it's very important for all of us to know our history," Obama said during a news conference with Chilean President Sebastian Pinera. "And obviously the history of relations between the United States and Latin America have [sic] at times been extremely rocky and have at times been difficult."
"I think it's important, though, for us, even as we understand our history and gain clarity about our history, that we're not trapped by our history," Obama said, while noting that United States has supported democratic reform in Chile for two decades. "So, I can't speak to all of the policies of the past. I can speak certainly to the policies of the present and the future."
Perfect. No bow, no grovel, just a polite but firm rebuff. Who says Obama hasn't grown in office?
These Guys Failed Logic 101
"Vice President Joe Biden called on Tuesday for a nation-wide effort to make the United States the world leader in college completion by 2020, offering a 'College Completion Tool Kit' to help," Reuters reports. Whatever. But this detail late in the story caught our attention:
The plan does not come with any new money. However, Biden did stress that the United States has to be willing to spend more on making education affordable.
Got that logic? The more of your money the government spends on something, the more "affordable" it is.
NewsBusters.org reports on a similar crime against logic. In this case the perpetrator is Andrew Romano of Newsweek, who wrote one of those stories on how ignorant Americans are. Erica Hill of CBS's "Early Show" explained the article's premise:
Before immigrants can become U.S. citizens, they have to pass an official test. Recently Newsweek magazine gave that same test to 1,000 Americans. Just 62% passed. 29% of respondents didn't know the name of the Vice President. It's Joe Biden, by the way. 73% had no idea what the U.S. was fighting against during the Cold War.
The second example is evidence of troubling ignorance. As to the former, we know Joe Biden's name, and we're convinced we'd be smarter if we didn't.
Now, here is one of Romano's explanations for this ignorance:
One of the big ones is income inequality in the United States. We're one of the most in-equal [sic] societies in the developed world. And when people don't have a lot of money, there's a difficulty getting a good education, there's a lack of opportunity and a lack of knowledge. That's one of the reasons why we don't do as well as northern European countries, sometimes on these surveys.
Gosh, if only we offered free public education to the poor, we could--oh wait! We do? Hmm, could it be, perhaps, that the problem isn't "income inequality" but failing schools?
Another Reason to Love Capitalism
"Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez thinks capitalism may be responsible for the lack of life on the planet Mars," FoxNews.com reports:
"I have always said, heard, that it would not be strange that there had been civilization on Mars, but maybe capitalism arrived there, imperialism arrived and finished off the planet," Chavez said in a speech on Tuesday.
Did you ever read "War of the Worlds"? If Chavez is right, capitalism is a boon to interplanetary peace. Another benefit: Charlie Sheen ought to be able to stop pretending he isn't a total bitchin' rock star from Mars.
Who Needs Whom Now?
Kim Guadagno is the lieutenant governor of New Jersey. We know, who cares? Well, she's the first lieutenant governor of New Jersey. The position was created by a 2005 amendment to the state constitution, and the 2009 election was the first in which a lieutenant governor was chosen.
We know, we know! Who cares?!
Fred Snowflack cares. In September, on his Morris Politics blog for the Daily Record of Parsippany, Snowflack wrote:
After eight months, Kim Guadagno is winning kudos for style and grace. Yes, she is professional and classy.
But after eight months, you still have to wonder why New Jersey needs a lieutenant governor.
A story we had today noted that Guadagno attends various ribbon cutting events, but is kept off-limits ro [sic] reporters. She often is on hand for Gov. Chris Christie press conferences, but is just about never called on to say anything.
Knowing that her duties would be minimal, Guadagno was also given the job as secretary of state. Yes, we need a secretary of state, but we do not need a lieutenant governor. That is no reflection on Guadagno, but a reflection on a job that really isn't.
Snowflack is no longer with the Daily Record. His last blog entry, posted Feb. 4, announced cryptically that it was his last day with the paper and he was going into "exile." GannettBlog has much more information about the cutbacks that hit Snowflack and many of his Record colleagues.
Don't worry, though. He found another job, and one that takes full advantage of his blogging experience. He contributes to You've Been CC'd, the blog of the New Jersey governor's office, whose contributors list informs us that the communications director for the lieutenant governor is the delightfully named Fred Snowflack.
New Jersey may not need a lieutenant governor, but Snowflack is lucky it got one.

Lots of Green
Something doesn't quite add up about this story from FoxNews.com:
When a burly ex-convict forced his way into a posh Florida home last week, he had no idea what awaited him--a 25-year-old beauty queen with a pink .38-caliber handgun.
Meghan Brown, a former Florida pageant queen, shot and killed 42-year-old Albert Franklin Hill during a home invasion March 12 at the 2,732-square-foot house she shares with her fiance in Tierra Verde, Fla. . . .
The woman's fiance, Robert Planthaber, said in an interview that he was quickly awakened by the altercation and ran to Brown's side. . . .
Brown, who reigned as the 2009 Miss Tierra Verde, snatched her gun from a nearby bedroom and shot the suspect several times--hitting him in the chest, groin, thigh and back, her fiance said. Hill was pronounced dead at the scene.
Panthaber [sic], a 42-year-old arborist, said he believes he and his fiancee were targeted because of their wealth. He claimed a pizza delivery man and possible accomplice staked out the home for three months before Hill attempted to burglarize it.
"We live in a very prominent area and my fiancee wears a $60,000 engagement ring," he said. "The pizza man knew we had money because sometimes we needed change for a $100 bill when he came to deliver pizza."
So Planthaber (that seems to be the correct spelling) is an arborist? He may have a delightful name, but how can he afford to buy such an extravagant rock? Maybe money grows on trees after all.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Religious and community outreach organizations are suing the city of Philadelphia over new regulations that prohibit feeding the homeless in outdoor public spaces.
The plaintiffs allege the ban violates their constitutional rights to free exercise of religion and free speech, as well as Pennsylvania's Religious Freedom Protection Act.
The federal lawsuit contends that Mayor Michael Nutter's motivation for the ban was to keep the homeless hidden from visitors.
Nutter has said feeding the homeless in an indoor setting is more dignified and can also provide access to medical and mental health services. His spokesman said the city does not comment on pending litigation.

It is all about using something to "prove" a point and further an agenda. People who try to tie the nut case to any firearms group are just using anything they can to blame the murderous rampage on firearms ownership and not being mentally ill.
Anti gun propaganda proponents will stoop to any level just to prove themselves right. The tragedy is that many people will believe it and that makes one more victory in the war of disarmament.
Adam Lanza could have had anything in his possession, including something from the NRA, but that does not nor did make them responsible for what Lanza did. Lanza was responsible for what he did, he and he alone. We need to have an affective countermeasure to such things or we could wake up one day and no longer have any rights, let alone the one to keep and bear arms.

Police seek vehicle in hit and runAugust 06,2014Police seek SUV
in hit-and-run crash
Vermont State Police are seeking information about a black SUV whose driver allegedly fled after a head-on collision Tuesday at the intersection of the East Pittsford Road and Route 7 in Rutland Town.
No one was hurt, but police said the SUV caused major damage to a Ford F-250 truck driven by Sandra Griffin, 62, of Pittsford.
Witnesses told police that the SUV was traveling south on Route 7 at about 3 p.m. Tuesday when it cut across lanes and collided with the truck. Two other vehicles were narrowly missed, police said.
The SUV drove off the road after the crash, backed up and continued south on the highway toward Rutland with moderate damage to its front end.
