2013 Well Check
2013 Well Check Gets High Marks from Parents
"I give Westminster College an A+," said one mom during Westminster's signature Well Check for parents of first year students. "He's adjusting well, studying hard, and has made some good friends." "She is passionate about Westminster and even brought three friends home for fall break!" These are just a few of the comments heard from parents during Westminster's Well Check program in October.
Fifteen staff, most of whom are Westminster parents themselves, contacted more than half of the parents of first year students. "The first six weeks of college are a challenging time for students who are adjusting to new living situations, academic challenges, and more independence," said Dana Tumpowsky, director of The Parent Fund and Family Programs. "This is also a time of adjustment for many parents, too, and Westminster wants to support families with resources and connections on campus."
"E-newsletters, emails and phone calls help to inform parents about the college culture, both easing concerns about any number of parent worries like social adjustment, academic performance, roommate compatibility and campus safety. We also are encouraging families to participate in Westminster's Winter Weekend for Parents and Families in February," says Tumpowsky.
She explained that Well Check calls were made to most parents who submitted a parent information form, found here.
If we missed you and you would like to provide feedback, please call Dana Tumpowsky at 801.832.2757.

Collection cashmere cardigan sweater
Rated 3.4 out of 5 by 65 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Derby Fine but not as good as previous seasons I've been purchasing the J. Crew cashmere cardigan since they first were introduced - probably over a decade ago. This year's crop are a nice heavyweight, but the feel is not good. They feel like a wool blend rather than cashmere - there's an itchiness factor. I was glad to see a dark brown - a color they haven't done in this style in several seasons. However the Midnight is not as good as a true navy. Honestly, the best J. Crew cashmere cardigans I have are those from the early years. Here's hoping for next year. September 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by SueK617 cashmere cardigan First, I have bought many cashmere cardigans with J Crew over the years and have always loved how soft they were from the start and how well they wear. I hadn't purchased a regular weight cardi in many years ( because they wear so well)and the jury is still out about this purchase. It is definitely a different manufacturer and while I like the fit (the others are a little longer and this is more fitted, I don't know if I like the feel of it. I had to check the tag initially twice because it felt like a merino wool sweater, not cashmere. It is thicker and not the same softness that I have come to expect from Jcrew cashmere sweaters and I own 5 cardis and 3 cashmere short sleeve tshirts. I hope it softens with wear or I will not be buying cashmere sweaters from Jcrew any time soon. I wish they didn't change. September 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by MMinMA A little disappointed I ordered this sweater to wear with a dress for a wedding. It was a good color and style, but the quality was a bit disappointing. There was a loose button and some yarn popping out of the seams in two locations. I thought about returning it, but time was short and I didn't have other options. September 2, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Alice Itchy cardigan I own several Cashmere sweaters and this one is no where the quality it is supposed to be, it is itchy like wool. The color is beautiful and so is the style, very classic but poor quality yarn. After wearing it for half an hour you can feel the prickles from it. I will not be buying J. Crew cashmere again, their styles are great but they need to take a second look at the quality of their yarn. Cashmere comes in several qualities and I would expect much better quality from J. Crew given that it is supposed to be woven in Italy. September 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lawlady Versatile wardrobe-builder This sweater works well as a transitional summer-to-fall piece over a sleeveless dress or with dress pants or a skirt to pull together a professional look for the office. The sleeves are a slim fit so it will not work well over a loose or bulky shirt. August 14, 2014

MMO slang. Typically what the Bow Fag does once they draw the aggro of the mobs. They run around backwards while shooting the mobs which are chasing them. Or course this in turn requires all the melee class to follow in pursuit. So it basically looks similar to a Benny Hill re-run.
The bow fag ranger just grabbed the aggro of all the mobs, so now he's a back-peddling pussy.

One of the really fascinating parts of the recession is the effect it has had on news stories. During the boom, mainstream media focused heavily on the excesses of those who had money. You had stories of the most expensive wine or the most expensive dessert. There were stories about luxury cars and of fantastic mansions on enormous estates. Nowadays, the stories are focused on more pedestrian subjects. They're focused on people who grow gardens on their deck or raise chickens in the city. I find those stories infinitely more interesting because it shows our creativity and our resourcefulness, not our ability to write a check or swipe a card.
The stories that share tips on reducing electricity are great – I try to use as many of the tips as I can to reduce our own bills. The stories about how to drive more efficiently are even better, who doesn't like saving money at the pump. However, there are some ideas out there that fall in the category of "cool I'd like to try that" but I have yet to try. This is a post about those ideas (and why I have yet to try them).
Raising Chickens
Every few months I read an article about how you can raise your own chicken hens and enjoy eggs daily. While we don't eat a tremendous number of eggs, our honeymoon two years ago to Hawaii taught me that fresh eggs (we had eggs that were an hour old) are absolutely delicious. You could, presumably, also sell the eggs at $4-5/dozen too, which is a nice side benefit that can supplement feeding and maintaining them.
Why I don't do it now? Space. I live in a townhouse and we simply don't have an area we can use to raise chickens.
Solar Panels
There are few things in life as reliable as the sun. It's always up there, generating a tremendous amount of energy, and we should find ways to take advantage of this absolutely free resource. We don't need to send human beings down hundreds of feet into the ground to pull sunshine out. We don't need to leave people on rigs in the middle of the ocean to pump the stuff out. We simply stick a few black panels on a wall and the energy flows in. You get free electricity and you can sell some of it back to the grid if you can generate more than you need.
Why I don't do it now? It's just not financially viable where I live, we don't get enough sunlight to be able to justify installing solar panels (assuming they are accepted in our HOA's covenants). It might make sense in high sunshine areas like San Diego or Arizona, especially after federal subsidies, but it doesn't make sense here in Maryland.
Hunting & Fishing
This is another one of those "live off the land" type of ideas and something I've always wanted to try. In most places you'll need to get a license, understand the seasons, and practice before you'll get any good at it. I've tried deer meat before, as both ground meat in chili and as a grilled steak, and I enjoy it. Sometimes people are put off by the "gamey" flavor but I personally enjoy it. It gives it character and a flavor you aren't usually exposed to. (I added fishing, despite having fished before, because it's the same idea and it's something I haven't done often)
Why I don't do it now? I grew up on Long Island and never once even thought about hunting. There was a little bit of fishing but I was never exposed to it as a kid, so I never picked it up. Having gone to school in Pittsburgh, I met quite a few people who hunted but never tried it myself. I did, however, go salmon fishing with a good friend several years ago and had a blast. I chalk this up to just something I never tried simply because I never thought to try.
What are some frugal ideas that you really want to try but have yet to try?

Three brothers and their father have worked together to start a party bus business.
John, Jeff, Ben and their father, Mike Stover, formed 4 Guys Enterprise LLC, and they purchased and renovated an MCI motor coach bus.
John, the second-oldest brother, said he would drive past the bus while it was for sale while driving to Bowling Green.
Article Photos
Mike Stover (left) and his sons Ben, John and Jeff bought a motor coach bus, renovated it, and started 4 Guys Enterprise LLC.
"It was there for like a year, and I finally said something to my dad," John said. "He was like, 'Yeah, I know those guys; I'll give them a call.' So, let's buy it and turn it into a party bus. It was kind of spur of the moment."
John said they bought the bus for $7,000 and the combined costs of buying and renovating the bus was between $25,000 and $30,000.
"When we bought the bus, it was a 49 passenger (vehicle)," he said. "We gutted the whole thing. We did the whole ceiling. We did everything."
John said they did a lot of research before buying the bus, including looking at costs for liability insurance. He also said there are not many party busses in the area.
"We just kind of looked around the area, and realized there's a couple of buses (in the area), but they don't have a bathroom," he said. "We're like the only one from here to Toledo that has something like this."
John said they also formed a limited-liability corporation and got a vendor's license, but there were no problems with having a bus that allows alcohol consumption.
"As long as there is a wall between the people (on the bus) and the driver, then we're good to go," John said. "So that was a major thing we had to do."
Jeff, the youngest brother, said people can rent the bus for a wide variety of events, inlcuding weddings, trips to casinos, birthday parties and sporting events.
John said the maximum number of people on the bus is 30 people.
He said in addition to the driver, the bus will have an attendant to serve as a bouncer and to keep things running smoothly.
The person who rents the bus will be required to sign a waiver that will cover 4 Guys Enterprise for any damages or injuries that may happen on the bus, John said.
John said working on the bus with his dad and brothers also has served as a bonding experience and has given them an opportunity to see each other more frequently.
Ben, the oldest brother, lives in Sandusky, where he coaches baseball at Sandusky St. Mary's and teaches at Ehove Career Center in Milan. Jeff is a junior at Ohio Northern University, where he is studying pharmaceutical business.
The two brothers will drive to Tiffin to their dad's business, Mike's Truck Repair, where John also works, on the weekends and help work on the bus.
"Every weekend, we probably put in 35-40 hours," John said. "Last Saturday, we were here until 2:30 in the morning."
John, who has lived in Tiffin and worked with his dad since last May, said he sees his brothers more now than he did when he was in school at the University of Dayton.
"I see them every week now but in the past, it wouldn't be strange if we didn't see one another for two months at a time," John said.
He said he chose to work with his father because his dad has a shop and knows the mechanics involved in repairing a bus.
Jeff said money also played a factor in working with each other because none of them had enough funds to do the project by themselves.
"Obviously, we disagree. We're family. But it probably brought us closer together in the end," Jeff said.
John said Mike Wertz, Jon Ranieri, Bucky's Machine Shop Andy Ritzler and Bob Goshe all also helped work on the bus.
John said the biggest difficulty the brothers faced while starting their business was getting a loan approved.
"We struggled getting a loan for a while," Jeff said.
"(Jeff's) still in school, and I have a million loans," John said. "We tried to go in together and get it, but we didn't get it approved because of us two. So, Ben went by himself and got one."
He said they already have a few clients booked for birthdays and weddings, and he said they have a lot of people who are interested in renting the bus for trips to Cleveland for Indians games.
"We got quite a few for just starting out and nobody really knowing us," John said.
John said he thinks the summer will boost their business.
"We just hope the Tribe keeps winning," Jeff said.
The bus can go anywhere in the state, John said; 4 Guys Enterprise would have to get special permits to travel out of Ohio.
John said if business goes well, 4 Guys will look into getting more buses or buying a limo.
The bus has a built-in cooler, a bathroom, surround-sound stereo, a television, a karaoke machine and other amenities.
The brothers will provide tables and chairs, but the bus has plenty of storage for grills and anything else people want to bring, Mike said.

COLUMBIANA-The Heartland baseball team is light on power hitters, so it needs to rely on aggressive baserunning in order to manufacture runs.
Thus, when Wellsville starting pitcher Devon Smith began giving away his pickoff move, the Lions were all to happy to take advantage.
Heartland stole seven bases and was frequently proactive at moving runners on its way to a 7-0 win over the Tigers Friday at the Columbiana youth baseball complex.
Heartland improves to 6-2 on the year. Wellsville drops to 1-9.
"If their pitcher (Smith) looked over at first base once, he always went to the plate after that," Heartland centerfielder Nate Montgomery said. "As soon as we picked that up, everybody was off."
"Devon got into a rhythm for a while of going to the same move every time and it made a big difference for them (Heartland)," Wellsville coach Dave Miller said. "They ran every chance they got."
Montgomery had two singles, two steals and two runs scored, Andy Sodergren had a single and three steals and Phil Bell had an RBI single as the Lions ran early and often and were never seriously threatened.
"We have a lot of line drive hitters and we need to steal bases and stretch singles into doubles to score a lot of runs," Montgomery said. "We really emphasize taking extra bases."
The Lions took control with three runs in the third inning to take a 5-0 lead. Montgomery led off with a single, stole second and came home when Andy Sodergren reached on a fielding error. Sodergren stole two bases and scored on a wild pitch, while Joel Sirota reached on a walk, took second on a fielders choice and raced all the way from second to home on a throwing error by Smith.
"We were trying to force the issue on the basepaths, that's our game" Heartland coach Shaun Sommers said. "Everytime they (Wellsville) bobbled a ball we were pushing to try and take an extra base."
Heartland was helped by five Wellsville errors. All three of the third inning runs were unearned.
"We are not making the routine plays right now," Miller said. "That has been the story of our season. It's hard to win when you give a team four or five extra outs per game
From there it was smooth sailing for the Lions. Starting pitcher Joel Sirota (2-0) admittedly didn't have his best stuff but pitched six shutout innings, striking out four and walking one. Wellsville's biggest threat came in the fifth when the Tigers put runners at second and third with one out, but Anthony Petrelli lined out to left and the runner at second base was doubled off, putting a quick end to things.
"I didn't feel as good as I have at other times, but I worked through it and my defense helped me out a lot," Sirota said.
"Good starting pitching is the other part of the equation for us," Sommers said. "We've been able to win this year in part because our starting pitching has been solid like it was tonight," Sommers said.
Wellsville is at Beaver Local for a doubleheader today. Heartland hosts Badger on Tuesday.
Game notes
Wellsville third baseman Nick Bayer left the game in the first inning with a concussion. He collided with Heartland's Phil Bell on a steal attempt at third base.
"Nick went to the emergency room and got looked at and he will be tested again tomorrow," Miller said. "We will take it day-to-day.
The game-which was not a makeup-was one of few played in the area on Good Friday.
"Our kids go on a mission trip during the last week of April so we have to fill most of the dates early and late in the season to complete a schedule," Sommers said.

Stage Battle Tips:
Here are some tips on how to get the most out of Brütal Legend's stage battles.
First, one thing to understand right off the bat - Brütal Legend: Brütal Legend is not an RTS game.
It is a historical fact that it began its life as an RTS game, inspired by Herzog Zwei. But then as we worked on it we simplified it, and simplified it, and focused it more and more on the player avatar and the combat. Every time we focused the gameplay on the action, it became more fun. The end result is something much more action-oriented, and I think, totally unique. If you try to play the stage battles in Brütal Legend as an RTS game then you will loose. First you will get mad, then you will scream, and then you will lose. But if you are open to a new kind of action experience, you will have a blast.
First, a note on the differences: In an RTS game you float high above the action, making one split-section strategic decision after another. You often command individual units to position them based on their heath and context. In Brütal Legend, you make strategic choices once in a while, but then you jump into the battle and slug it out in person. You can fly, but it's mostly for quick scouting and transportation. You will spend a few seconds every once in a while popping into a menu to build troops or pick a guitar solo, but then you should be right back in the action. To play the game most effectively you need to be on the ground with your army most of the time, mixing it up with your axe, and your guitar, but most of all—using your Double Team attacks.
Double Team attacks are critical to your success in Stage Battles. Every friendly unit in your army has a move that they can only perform in conjunction with the player character. These moves are extremely varied, extremely powerful, and extremely fun to perform. Sometimes you might simply gain control that unit's weapon—for instance, when a Razor Girl jumps up on your shoulders--but when you do so you increase it's damage significantly. Other units, like the Bride, seem to be just passive, debuffing units most of the time (the Bride slows down enemy units) but when you Double Team with her she has a devastating lighting attack. More complicated Double Teams include the Frightwig, who Ophelia can pick up and throw onto an enemy unit. The Frightwig then wraps itself around the enemy's head and causes the victim to join Ophelia's side in the battle. (You can even use this to commandeer the enemy's Rock Crusher!) The Organist is another passive unit whose Double Team attack allows you to gain direct player control over an enemy unit, giving you command over whatever attacks they normally have.
There are important strategic choices to make in Stage Battles. Should I spend my fans to upgrade my stage and gain access to more powerful units, or should I spend it now on cheap infantry? Which fan geysers should I fight for and which should I concede? What is the right time to block my enemies troop production with a Rock Block solo? Would anti-infantry units be better against the current enemy army, or should I switch to anti-vehicle? But these strategic decisions only take a second, and then you should get right back in the action. You should never be up in the air or away from the battle for too long.
Some people find it hard to split up the army and give individual orders to individual troops. This is kinda true, mostly because you shouldn't be doing it! That's how you play an RTS game, not how you should play Brütal Legend. True, there are times where you might want to split your army, but it's not common. I play complete Stage Battles most of the time without issuing a single Individual order. Your army is most effective when it's together. The AI automatically groups your warriors into battle formations where the troops support each other. Many of the units buff or heal each other. When they are together they can all be enhanced with a single Battle Cry (or other buffing) solo. And when they are all together and you are in the middle of them, that is when you have the greatest number of options for Double Team attacks.
So to summarize my advice for playing Brütal Legend Stage Battles:
Get in the center of the action!
Use Double Team attacks!
Don't stay in the air too long!
Use Double Team attacks!!
For the most part, keep your army together!
Use Double Team attacks!!!
Don't think of it as an RTS game!

to the authority set forth in Business Regulation Article, §§2-106, 2-106.1, and 2-106.2, Annotated Code of Maryland, the Maryland
design boards, including the Board of Examiners of Landscape Architects, may set various fees, including a license fee, in order to
cover the actual documented direct and indirect costs of fulfilling their statutory and regulatory duties. The law provides that the
Secretary must calculate these costs on annual basis and provide them to the design boards for the purposes of fee-setting. Based
on the current levels of revenues and expenses, as certified to the design boards by the Department, it has become evident to the
design boards that an increase in license/certificate fees is necessary in order for the boards to meet their statutory obligations.
The need for increase in fees is a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to, increase in personnel costs, as well
as in fixed and indirect costs. The statute governing the design boards special fund limits a fee increase to 12.5 percent annually.
As a result, the design boards, both individually and as members of the design boards special fund cluster, decided to uniformly
increase their applicable license/certificate fees. Therefore, the license fee for each Board is being raised by 12.5 percent.
Comparison to Federal Standards
There is no corresponding federal standard to this proposed action.
Estimate of Economic Impact
I. Summary of Economic Impact. There are currently 960 licensed landscape architects. Due to staggered license renewals, 480
licensees are expected to renew their licenses annually. In addition, an average of 30 individuals become licensed every year. Based on
the assumption that these numbers remain constant, the State Occupational and Professional Licensing Design Boards Fund will receive
additional revenues totaling $4,335.00.
III. Assumptions. (Identified by Impact Letter and Number from Section II.)
A. Assuming 480, or 50 percent of current licensees, renew their licenses in the first year and 30 individuals receive new licenses,
additional revenues totaling $4,335 (510 x $8.50) will be received by the Fund.
D. Applicants for new licenses and current licensees are presently paying $68 for a 2-year license. The proposed amendment will raise
the fee to $76.50, an increase of $8.50.
Economic Impact on Small Businesses
The proposed action has minimal or no economic impact on small businesses.
Impact on Individuals with Disabilities
The proposed action has no impact on individuals with disabilities.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - The recent discussion over the eLearning Lab's proposal to partner with the library brought to light a situation that, regardless of the merits of that particular issue, ought to be of concern to all of us.
Over the past decade or so, so-called "public-private partnerships" (PPPs) have been of increasing importance all over the world in extending the ability of governments to provide services in difficult economics. According to the U.S. State Department, "Such partnerships have leveraged the creativity, innovation, and core business resources of private partners for greater impact on global issues. To date, the Department has worked with over 1,100 partners and mobilized more than $650 million in public and private resources to support key foreign policy objectives including climate change mitigation, women's empowerment, economic growth, and human rights." The State Department's participation in PPPs represents only a small portion of PPPs worldwide.
In most countries these PPP arrangements have been aimed at overcoming broad public sector constraints in relation to either a lack of public capital; and/or a lack of public sector capacity, resources and specialized expertise to develop, manage and operate infrastructure assets. Public Private Partnerships are now commonly used to accelerate economic growth, development and infrastructure delivery and to achieve quality service delivery and good governance.
The need for PPPs in many countries has been accelerated by the public sector's recognition of the vital role of modern infrastructure in economic growth, and PPPs are now accepted as an important avenue for funding major public sector infrastructure projects. PPPs are joint ventures in which business and government co-operate, each applying its strengths to develop a project more quickly and more efficiently than government could accomplish on its own. The private sector may be responsible for the designing, financing, constructing, owning and/or operating the entire project. The private sector may want to be assured that the public-private partnership structure is designed to provide competitive rates of return commensurate with a financial rate of return that they could earn on alternative projects of comparable risk.
In the case of the eLearning Cafe/Washoe County Libraries discussion, the Library Board's counsel delivered an opinion that the PPP could not happen because of a peculiarity of Nevada Law. Under the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) anything of this sort that is not explicitly enabled or permitted in the Statutes is considered to be prohibited. Not surprisingly, PPPs are not included in the NRS, which was originally formulated in 1861.
The provision that effectively prohibits anything not explicitly permitted is particularly problematic in a state where the Legislature only sits every two years and then only for a few months.
PPPs are proving to be an especially effective vehicle in the environmental area as recognition increases that a focus on the environment in isolation from the larger picture is in most cases ineffective. Current thinking in the mainstream of the environmental movement is that there is a "triple bottom line" that requires attention to environmental, economic, and social factors, and this lends increasing importance to looking beyond government for solutions.
The TRPA Regional Plan Update depends on such PPPs that are represented in part by developments such as Homewood, Boulder Bay, and Edgewood on a large scale, and also partnerships such as that between TRPA and the Tahoe Resource Conservation District for boat inspections in service of keeping aquatic invasive species under control.
The 2013 Regular Session of the Nevada Legislature began Monday, and while it is too late to hope for new legislation to enable PPPs, it is possible to attach such a measure to existing legislation being introduced. I've written to Senator Ben Kieckhefer and Assemblyman Randy Kirner asking them to look into this situation, and thus far have received no response.
If enough people raise this issue with them, it's possible we can get something done in this legislative session.

More airplane for less money. That has been the core of Embraer's value proposition since it entered the corporate jet fray in 1999, and it has resonated with the market.

Rather than downplay the HondaJet's unconventional look, with its over-the-wing engine mount (OTWEM), the manufacturer has chosen to embrace it.

The airspace between traditional business jet access models (charter, fractional ownership and jet cards) and first-class airline travel has been active lately, even if there's not much to show for it. But while some would-be per-seat charter providers and fledgling "flight club" programs appear to be in a holding pattern, one alternative operator in California has quickly taken off: Surf Air, which offers more than a dozen scheduled daily flights between off-the-hub airports in the Bay Area and Los Angeles.

Notable Fractional Programs

Global deliveries of turbine business airplanes increased 7.2 percent in this year's first quarter over the first quarter of 2013, according to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association. The jump in deliveries will most likely mean a boost to business at centers that perform aircraft completions and refurbishments and companies that provide interior components.

New-jet programs come in two flavors: completely clean-sheet-of-paper designs and updates of existing models. This article deals strictly with the former. The category is well populated, but mostly with midsize and super-midsize jets—a reflection of continuing softness in the entry-level sector and the rarefication of the large-jet and bizliner field. Bombardier, Cessna and Embraer all have models under development in what can be called the greater middle market, the most attractive category for fractional programs and other fleet customers. The large-jet business is seeing some action, although less of it: new projects are under way at Bombardier and Dassault and the rumor mill is running full tilt regarding Gulfstream programs building on the larger-cabin cross-section introduced by the G650.

As soon as its first owner departs from the manufacturer's delivery center, a new airplane technically becomes used (or preowned). For various reasons, however, 10 years after an aircraft's final production date is generally considered the milestone separating "newer" used business aircraft from "older" ones.

The final whistle on their seasons has sounded, the cleats are hung up, but the awards are still coming in for some of this area's best high school football players.
Wednesday, the All-Ohio teams were released for Divisions VI and VII, with three local standouts being recognized.
Leading the group was Calvert defensive lineman Marcus Somers, who was named to the Division VII second team. Also in Division VII, Mohawk's Eric Maskey was named to the third team as a punter. In Division VI, Carey offensive lineman Jacob Goble was given a special mention.
Article Photos
Calvert's Marcus Somers tackles a Fremont St. Joe ball carrier during a game this season.
Somers was a cornerstone of a Calvert team that advanced to the second round of the state playoffs in each of the last three years.
"It's nice for him to be honored," Calvert coach Todd Fox said of his four-year starter. "Marcus has been a huge part of our team for four years, he's held that position ever since he came up as a freshman. On and off the field he's a great leader. He's a leader by example. We hope he's helped pave the way for those come after him to be that kind of person both on and off the field."
In his senior season, Somers registered 123 tackles with 15 sacks and 17 tackles for a loss.
"He was phenomenal," said Fox. "I challenge any defensive lineman - it's not like our defense was on the field every play, he had some great defensive players along side of him too - to dominate a game defensively like he did.
"Just his overall drive and determination to be so successful," Fox said when asked what made Somers so dangerous. "He was relentless with what he wanted to do. He held himself to a high standard and worked hard every day to bring himself to a higher level."
Calvert started the season 1-4, but closed out the regular season with five straight wins, claiming a share of the Midland Athletic League title and making a third straight trip to the playoffs.
Fox credits Somers' leadership as being a key to his team's turnaround.
"Our senior group we had, there were only six of them," Fox said. "They were only quiet leaders; they led by example. One thing I can say about Marcus, I noticed at Game 6, he wasn't being as quiet anymore. He's was going up the sideline, picking guys up, pushing guys a long."
Maskey was recognized as a punter, but was much more than that for Erik Baker's Warriors. Evidence of that is what Baker hears from college coaches talking to him about Maskey.
"It's funny talking to the college coaches about him. Every one comes with a different take of what (Maskey's) about," Baker said. "Coaches from Tiffin talk about him as a defender, Ohio Northern University talked about him as a H-back. Findlay was talking about using him at an end position. He's very versatile."
The stats are proof of what he can do in all aspects of the game, but Baker said his contributions can't be measured by what a stat sheet says.
"He contributed in so many ways that don't show up on paper," Baker said. "He had 20 touchdowns as a fullback, defensively he was our leading tackler. He averaged just a hair under 40 yards a punt, but had multiple 60 yard punts. He was very good at downing punts inside the 10. For a good portion of the year, we were trying to find ourselves defensively. He did a great job of flipping the field for field position and we were able to get ourselves right. There was literally no phase of the game he didn't have an impact on."
At Carey, Goble was a cornerstone of an offensive line that paved the way for 3,177 rushing yards his junior year, and 2,849 yards this past fall.
"Jacob's been a three-year starter on offense and we're really going to miss him next year. He's been a pretty good offensive lineman for us," said Carey coach Todd Worst. "When it came time to run the ball, we usually went left and everyone knew it. It usually worked out pretty well for us and Jacob was a big reason for that."
In Goble's three years as a starter, Carey compiled a 23-8 record. The Blue Devils made a playoff trip in 2011, and shared the MAL title this past season with Calvert.
"I'm pretty proud of the way the guys played," Worst said. "We lost one league game, wasn't our best game by any means. We came back from it and were able to come back the rest of the season. There were a couple tough games at the end of the year for us in Hopewell and Seneca East. The guys did a better job.
"As a group, we had a good group of seniors. Jacob was one of the guys that wasn't going to quit. Even back as a sophomore, he made plays he was never expected to be making. They did a good job leading the kids and having a good voice in the locker room."

HTC One X ReviewHTC One X 7.8
According to HTC, it has done some tremendous improvements to its camera technology. It has even given the whole camera package a name – ImageSense. Among the more important enhancements should be faster loading and focusing times, as well as overall better shots due to an f2.0 aperture and BSI sensor. Finally, a special chip called ImageChip is taking care of the necessary calculations before you're presented with the final result. With so many improvements and special brandings, one would think that the One X is the next big thing as far as camera-phones go. Well, this isn't really the case. But let us first tell you about the camera interface!
What we like about this 8MP camera's UI is that it presents you with separate still photo shutter, and a video rec button at the same time. So, if you want to take a shot, you simply have to press the shutter key; and if you want to start recording a video – you pres the video rec button – no need to change modes. There is also a good number of additional settings like changing the review duration, self-timer, ISO, white balance, exposure, contrast, saturation, sharpness, etc. There's also a slow-motion shooting mode. Two cool little features introduced by HTC are the continuous shooting mode (takes a series of images incredibly fast, but may introduce focusing problems), and image taking while shooting a video, which is pretty neat. The cool thing about the said continuous shooting mode is that it allows you to easily select the best shot of the series, and simply delete the others.
One of the areas where HTC has focused is the speed of the camera. Indeed, it shows that they have achieved great results here, as taking a picture literally takes only a fraction of the second. What's way more important, though, is actually how those quickly-taken images look. The short version here is: they look OK. And here's the long one:
The images that the HTC One X does introduce us to a good level of detail. We took our set of samples on a cloudy day, and this let us put the ImageSense camera to the test. And although the level of detail is clearly not 8MP, it's still pretty decent. What's not so decent is the level of noise that we see in the shots. It turns out the sharpness of the images was at the expense of noise. This effect is actually stronger than usual due to the slight oversaturation of the shots. In order to make the images more appealing, the camera is boosting the saturation of the colors, which is OK, if done reasonably. The color balance itself is quite good; images appear natural-looking, though in some of the shots the oversaturation was simply too much. There is also this color artifact visible in one of the images below, where the edges of the tree's branches have come out purple, but let's say that this has been an isolated issue.
Just what was HTC thinking when choosing the type of video capture for the One X is beyond us, but they actually come up with the strange decision to have the camcorder record 1080p video at 22-23 frames per second. Not that it's impossible to watch, but it's not as smooth as what we've gotten used to. The video quality is very good – strong detail presence and natural colors, but the mediocre frame rate kind of ruins the whole thing. The quality of recorded audio is fine; a bit on the sharper side, but everything is easy to comprehend.
Watching video on the HTC One X's 4.7" screen is epic. The large diagonal, incredibly high resolution, saturated colors and strong brightness output all contribute to the awesome video experience. Just make sure that your video source is of the needed quality! Of course, you can play all kinds of clips with this handset.
The HTC One X also comes with Beats Audio in order to deliver an impressive audio output as well. Sadly, we couldn't test the bundled earphones, but they won't be Beats ones anyway. The Beats Audio technology is available thorough the software side of things, and what's really cool is that it's now accessibly by any other app, and not just the music player. The stock music player itself is rather simplistic. It gives you the standard options to filter your content, displays large album art, and is easy to use. Its most interesting feature is that it's integrated with SoundHound, so you can get more info about the song with just a quick tap.

Only 7,8/10?! My crapy LG Optimus One 8/10!!! Is it because of the price?

it's because it's not an iphone..!
i will wait and see other reviews.. i never trust PA when it comes to reviews.. they are too apple oriented
24. Chronos (Posts: 258; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
No, it's because PhoneArena believed the One X deserved a 7.8.
49. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
The Verge, Engadget and other Apple Biased Sites gave it a very high mark in their reviews. They even said it's the king of all android phones right now, why 7.8 then?
57. Chronos (Posts: 258; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)

This is true. Engadget has a more balanced review as well as the verge. I read PA for laugh breaks only.
46. cripton805 (Posts: 1440; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
I agree. They list the iPhone 4s as having cons and theres essential features that are missing on the iPhone like Flash, a longer battery life, the SAME DESIGN, the same UI with tiny tinks, etc...
Its a good phone, but its not outstanding.
Phonearena was too harsh and based its score on opinions like the keyboard layout. Some might prefer it that way. 7.8 puts it around some low2mid end Android phone and the hardware was enough to give it more.
What did it for me was the Razr Maxx review. The Razr got a 9 and the Maxx got an 8.5? Its the same phone with a longer batt. Its a winnn. Not drawback. Its like saying a 120gb iPhone is worse than the 16gb because it would be thicker by a tiny amount. Doesnt the + outweigh the -?
58. Chronos (Posts: 258; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
The One X and 4S were reviewed by two different people.
63. Commentator (Posts: 3684; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
I'm generally content with PA's reviews, but I have to speak out on this one. I agree that some points should be docked for the browser issues (which look weird, to say the least), but they seem to be nitpicking to the extreme. The keyboard layout, for instance, is a complete matter of opinion. I personally love the directional arrows on my Evo 4G. As for the 23 fps 1080p, that seems a little strange. If I may quote Engadget, "the One X captures 1080p video at a silky smooth 30fps with continuous autofocus and stereo audio." Something seems a little fishy here.
Oh, also, I'd think this phone would get higher marks simply for the fact that its the FASTEST FREAKING SMARTPHONE PRODUCED TO DATE (with the possible exception of the One S). I'd think that warrants a few more points...
69. Birds (Posts: 1157; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
I see what you mean but PhoneArena said that the Razr Maxx should have been released at the same time as the original so there wouldn't be a lot of disappointed people who bought the original device months ago. They also argued that this phone is only for power users and if you don't need the extensive amount of juice of the battery then the original is fine. But my opinions are a little different from theirs though. In my opinion. If you are selling it for 100$ more than the original, put in a 32 gigabyte SD card and we have the perfect phone.
79. boingboing (Posts: 3; Member since: 03 Apr 2012)
Or maybe the iPhone got a better score because it's the better phone? I know that may be a little hard for you to understand - after all, it doesn't run Android, so how could it be better? And so what if the new iPhone shares the same industrial and UI design as the last one? It's a good design that's held up very well (only the Lumia 800/900 and One X come close to matching the elegance of the 4/4S hardware, imo). Sure, the software may not be as eye-catching as Windows Phone or ICS, but it works and works well, which is the one thing most people want from their phones.
Also, Flash is missing on every smartphone now because Adode simply isn't developing a mobile version of it anymore. Never understood why Android fanatics put such credence in Flash anyway - it was always just another way for app developers to put even more ads where they weren't wanted.
As for "the same UI with many tinks"... erm, isn't that Sense 4.0 all over or am I missing something here? I'll admit I'm not the biggest Android fan, but I do think what Google did with the UI design of ICS was a huge improvement and a massive step forward for the platform. Where Sense and other, similar skins once pushed Android forward in the early days, I can't help but feel they're now holding it back. There's something to be said for consistency in design language, but as long as OEMs continue making these skins, this will unfortunately never be a reality for Android. The impression I got from reading the review was that the writer believed this too, which may go some way to explain why such a promising phone scored so...averagely. Shame, 'cause it is a really nice phone - if it ran something closer to stock ICS, I'd be all over it.
81. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
its not missing they just will not advance it to next version of android os. or further develop flash on mobile devices. it is not missing
91. cripton805 (Posts: 1440; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
If you really think the iPhone is better thats dumb. LoL
If you like it better, thats another story.
You do realize you gave 0 reasons to why the iPhone would be better and you bashed on things that are offered through Android Os as flaws. "Even though it gives a better experience offering a FULL pc like browser..." Are you sure thats a con? Sound more like excuses and you dissed the iPhone in your own words lol.

one of the best reviews i have ever seen (yeah sarcasm). this phone deserved 7.8 because as reviewer said 4.7 inches keyboard is not spacious enough in comparison to iphone`s 5 years old, BIG, 3.5 inches, perfect and magical keyboard.

i'm really confused now when i read the reveiew on engadget the only con was battery life and camera quality is better than iphone 4s but not as good as N8,i guess i'll have to wait for gsmarena review cuz i feel they have the most detailed review!
4. rawbow (Posts: 428; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
It may do good in the market considering this is the first quad by a big name company.
Best of Luck HTC. Always liked the design and the sensible interface. Just like cigar and scotch is not for everyone, HTC is not for everyone. It has good class and style.

Terrible review, even from the get go you has a negative out look while writing this review.
Even when talking about its positives you still seem negative.
I always goto GSM arena for there reviews.

9. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
This review is a joke.
23 fps full hd video (wow what an issue), somewhat not ideal typing(wow, I would have to download some third party keyboard), un-intuitive STOCK browser!!(wow, I'd have to use dolphin hd, opera mobile or CHROME for android!)
..and the phone gets 2 points off!!
The phone that is by far better than Galaxy Nexus who got a 9.5!
(let me remind you again- a sub pair processor compared to this, a dull screen with 250 nits of brightness, soft plastic body, and inferior camera)
That being said, though, I'd never buy this because I think an LTE version with dual core s4 processor will actually be more powerful and yet much more energy efficient, despite of the LTE.
The first phone that will deserve a 9.5.
22. Stuffies12 (Posts: 5; Member since: 09 Dec 2011)
Engadget did a comparison test on the Tegra 3 on One X and the Snapdragon Krait processor on the One S and the snapdragon processor showed higher numbers and I was quite confused when I saw it. The US version could be more powerful although more energy efficient I'm not too sure about...
29. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
the a15 and 28nm architecture makes up for the lte
113. mrbtree (Posts: 59; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
of course the one s was going to win, the one s doesn't have to power an extra 33% or something extra pixels on the screen
99. gtrxman (Posts: 122; Member since: 10 Sep 2011)
You're completely missing the point. No question that you can download whatever software you like, but why doesn't a flagship phone perform flawlessly out of the box? Lagging Sense, bad Flash performance, poor camera performance. It seems that if HTC was really trying to reboot their line, they would have addressed this stuff before releasing the phone.
100. gwuhua1984 (Posts: 1237; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
Once again, you need to look at other reviews and stop basing your comments on just what PhoneArena is basing. Other reviews has shown that the camera was able to record at 1080p @ 30 fps under sunlight, as it should be and not what PhoneArena claims. Battery life was also better than expected with 1800 capacity.
Of course, there will be minor bugs (even the iPhone 4S couldn't escape), but there's no major flaws that an update couldn't fix.
I think this phone deserves a 8.5 a least, if not 9.0. HTC has done a pretty good job at rebooting their line, and I'm sure they'll do better later on.
10. steff195 (Posts: 3; Member since: 02 Apr 2012)
How come you didn't even mention about the lack of microsd slot or about the non removable battery in this review? I mean, what kind of review is this? I think those are pretty important things to mention. Instead you mentioned some minor things like the browser or the typing, things that can be solved with some other programs.
I didn't even understand if this device comes with Beats headphones after all, or it will have just the technology: "The HTC One X also comes with Beats Audio in order to deliver an impressive audio output as well. Sadly, we couldn't test the bundled earphones, but they won't be Beats ones anyway. "
67. glentomas123 (Posts: 70; Member since: 01 Jun 2011)
The lack of the microSD and non-removable battery are the two biggest negatives for this phone.
- I doubt very much that the S4 (28nm) architecture is going to perform well enough to deliver useful battery life on LTE with only an 1800mAH battery. Add to that, a 720p screen. That's a lot of pixels to light.
- 16GB of storage will be devoured so quickly by 1080p recording and an 8 meg shooter. At least they could have given 32GB!! WTH!!!
What was HTC thinking?? Pisses me off, because, I really want this phone. But those two things will like be it's undoing. Hopefully, the American carriers correct this with their proprietary versions of the phone.

Masterpiece.. battery life sucks, do not forget to carry the master charger for the masterpiece. HTC phones are known with their week battery life. May be you could find an ultrabook with comparable battery life.

13. PackMan (Posts: 277; Member since: 09 Mar 2012)

i think when the iphone will come PA surely award that 9.8 or 9.9 coz that's iiiiiphone...... :p..but they give one x only 7.8.......cant understand...........I'll wait for gsmarena......
19. FoneAddict (Posts: 259; Member since: 05 Jul 2011)
Terrible review. With bias like this iPhone rivals have no chance.
Waiting for GSMArena, their reviews are far more detailed and more importantly HONEST!
20. Stuffies12 (Posts: 5; Member since: 09 Dec 2011)
Light, durable and thin profile build quality, looks amazing, great screen, fantastic display, dedicated camera processor, quad core processor, keeping stock ICS elements instead of tossing them out with their own overlay and this phone gets a 7.8? I literally did not believe what I saw on my screen. I refreshed the page thinking it was a mistake. This deserves a 8.5 or 9. How does the 4s get a 9.5 and this get a 7.8? I am in total shock...and engadget reviewed this with their 1080p video at 30fps. Why is it 23fps here? This phone is brilliant in every way except for probably the battery life (which is the only thing engadget slammed down). Appalling review
48. biophone (Posts: 1955; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
The 4S got an 8.5.
50. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
so ? do you honestly think this deserves 7.8 ?
74. biophone (Posts: 1955; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
No 8.5 would have been the score i gave it. I haven't used the phone though.
25. iWallE (Posts: 48; Member since: 10 Oct 2011)
OK, I've never thought of a phonearena article or review as biased, despite some people constantly making such accusations. But this review really got me thinking. Not a word about the phone's ability to take photos and video at the same time. The processor and IPS display are barely mentioned. Yet there are long passages about 23fps video and some minor glitches in the browser that almost certainly will be fixed with an OTA update in the near future. And bashing the keyboard! That same Sense keyboard which on much smaller displays has been praised by many reviewers (including on this very site) as being the best one out there. I'm sorry but there's something in this review that's just not right. Positive things are not given enough attention or are not mentioned at all, while there is a strong intentional focus on the negatives. The reviewer has all right not to like the phone - it's a matter of opinion. But when writing what's supposed to be an objective review one should keep his personal feelings to himself as much as possible.
26. strikercho (banned) (Posts: 156; Member since: 20 Mar 2012)
Mmm, I'd rather say no. It is a nice device, but it's hard to call it a phone. It's too geek-orientated with this stupenduously large display, also the camera is rubbish, compared to the top ones in its class - N8, 808, 4S and GS2. The battery life also seems disappointing.

Bringing a healthy child to visit a very ill sibling in the hospital can help the whole family. But, before you take your child to visit their ill sibling, you need to prepare your child for the visit so that the child knows what to expect.
There are several things you can do to prepare your child:
Your child will have questions about why their sibling is sick. The child will probably ask if their sibling will get better. You can be ready by having a social worker, nurse, or doctor there before, during, and after the visit.
Your child may feel angry, scared, helpless, guilty, or jealous. These are normal feelings.
Often children do better than adults when visiting their ill sibling. Be sure your child does not have a cold, cough, or any other illness or infection when they visit.
Make sure to follow hand-washing rules and other hospital safety rules.

Using a cell phone while driving on the Thruway could become very expensive this coming week.
State Police Troop T is gearing up to have increased patrols starting Monday all along the state thoroughfare during what its is labeling "Operation Hang Up" targeting drivers illegally using mobile devices. The stepped-up enforcement will begin Monday and continue through Sunday, April 28.
State Police officials said cell phone use and texting are responsible for a significant portion of all traffic crashes, injuries and deaths and the use of the devices continues to increase despite their obvious danger to motorists. Troop T has already made distracting driving enforcement a priority and last year of the 150,000 tickets the troop issued some 4664 of them were for cell phone violations. The Thruway Authority will be posing reminders on message boards throughout the Thruway system during the state police initiative next week.

THE DIAGNOSIS of tuberculous peritonitis can be difficult. It is often not considered in the differential diagnosis of abdominal disorders, particularly when tuberculosis is not present elsewhere. For this reason we wish to review the clinical patterns of tuberculous peritonitis, to emphasize the clinical and laboratory findings that may point to its presence, and to call attention to those factors which seem most likely to prove misleading in making this diagnosis.
Clinical Material
This study is based upon a review of the hospital records of 31 patients diagnosed as having tuberculous peritonitis at the University of Illinois Research and Educational Hospitals between the years of 1953 and 1963. The diagnosis was established in 25 patients by the demonstration of acidfast bacilli morphologically typical of Mycobacterium tuberculosis on culture or guinea pig inoculation of the ascitic fluid or in the microscopic sections of peritoneal tubercles. Six other patients had caseous granulomas.

Old School Fitting and Showing
Old School Fitting and Showing
Summer always meant fairs and shows as a youngster. As an exhibitor, I looked forward to the shows, especially showmanship – where my ability to work with my heifer or cow as one team could be put to the challenge.
Last week, I had the opportunity to attend and watch the showmanship contest at the Oregon Holstein Show. With three age class breakdowns, the class sizes allowed the judge adequate time to evaluate each youth. During his reasons, the judge commented on how well one of his winners worked with her cow and how the time spent working with the animal before the show was evident in the show ring. It was most evident when the cow needed to be backed up, and the cow gracefully moved her feet backwards. The easier way would have been to just use her feet to move the cow's large hooves, but the 13-year old girl knew that using her feet was not acceptable in a showmanship contest, even though the adults do it all the time in the individual classes.
After the showmanship winners were named, the top three seniors and the top intermediate showmanship winners participate in a clipping and fitting contest. A local breeder provides four clean heifers that were comfortable being handled. (An unruly heifer can be frustrating and a disadvantage to a young person trying to fit the heifer). Each junior had one hour to completely fit the heifer. They could have one fellow junior member assist with holding the heifer in place. The four youth clipped the heifers about six feet away from their competitors, so they were able to keep an eye on the others, if they so chose. Attendees were able to watch as well, but no communication with the contestants could be given.
The fitting judge evaluated the youth during the fitting process and evaluated the finished product. He congratulated all the contestants for the great job they did, and they did do a fabulous job. While many fussed over the topline and belly hair, maybe a bit to the excess, the judge reminded the contestants that they are preparing the entire animal, which includes clipping the legs correctly, brushing the entire heifer when complete (and before time expires), and combing and fluffing the tail. While it may seem like the basics of cattle preparation, these often get overlooked, just like cleaning the ears, scrubbing the head, and removing loose straw from the animal's belly in a traditional showmanship contest. A well-carved topline is frosting on the cake when proper attention has been paid to all the other details. He had other comments that determined his winner, but for the purpose of this blog, I did not include all his comments.
He also praised the winner for his calm and relaxed demeanor during the fitting contest, and that he seemed to be really enjoying himself. Isn't that what is really important?
As youth prepare for county and state fairs, remember the basics of showing and showmanship this summer. It may seem old school, but doing the basic things correctly never goes out of style.

On this episode of Ping, Laura is joined by special guest Adam DePue to give their insight into the top stories from Microsoft this week. Here's a sampling of the dishes served:
Visual search for WP7 apps- COOOL!
Fastest growing apps...really?
Oops, something didn't work.
Another good show and nice to see Adam make a return.
People even controlled their Windows 7 PC with Kinect. Is this actually legal? Or is it aggainst some rules/terms-of-use or something?
Awesome show

Even if Adam gave some nice remarks the energy between hosts is missing... after a few minutes it became borring... just another show giving some computer stuff.
You forgot to mention the Lync - Kinect link.
its totaly legal all they're doing is using kinect as a camera, the ms proprietary stuff is the tracking algorithms and those havent been cracked
primesense also isnt bothered since noone has cracked their structured light algorithm, people are just using the output of from their chip
Whats up with these two, either could be a great host but together they are terrible, they keep talking over each other, cutting in inapropriately and repeating each other, theres no structure. So unproffessional. Urgh couldn't finish watching. They really hate each other don't they
@Laura, are you telling me that you didn't know that Paul Thurrott does a weekly Microsoft-centric video netcast/podcast with Leo Laporte?
I ask only because you mentioned him as if you'd never heard of him before.
Embarrassingly for me, the day that this was posted was the first time that I realized that Adam DePue is not Adam Kinney. Sorry, Adams!
Hey silverlight works in opera, since when?

Side note: does anyone still use search connectors in Win7? Channel 9's osdx stopped working. I uploaded a fixed version http://cid-546f2cbab9fa4d28.office.live.com/self.aspx/Search%20Connectors/Channel%209.osdx
I am a student SY0-201 exam I used WP7 Developers Description.I think myCraigsAds is the premier Craigslist browser with a rich set of features and options. Set search criteria including filters directly from the home screen, preview results with thumbnail photos and posting title, browse listings in "thumbnail wall photos" view, save search configurations, bookmark favorite posts, and post listings to Craigslist.
I lol'd at the stupid sound FX at the end. You should bring him back sometime, he was funny.
The Kinect camera will soon be compatible with the new Lync corporate video chat program, Microsoft announced today.The update will potentially allow businesses to communicate between the "boardroom and the living room." (via ZDNet ) Formerly known as 70-545 Office Communicate, Lync features an audio and video conferencing tool; voice call service and instant messaging service.
I found this is an informative and interesting post so i think so it is very useful and knowledgeable. I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this article. I am hoping the same best work from you in the future as well pmp exam prep. In fact your creative writing ability has inspired me. Really the article is spreading its wings rapidly...

This letter is in regards to the lack of leadership in our country relating to the fiscal cliff which America will be facing on Jan. 1.
Here it is now December, and the President and Congress have done nothing but to kick the problem down the road for another year. We don't know exactly what our final tax deductions or tax credits will be for 2012 and have no idea what the tax situation will be for 2013.
President Barack Obama should have Speaker of the House John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid at the White House not for a photo opt, but to stay night and day to work out an agreement and solve this major fiscal problem before it is too late.
But instead Obama chose to take a trip to Asia and fly across the world after reelection, rather than staying home and working with the congressional leadership to resolve our country's fiscal crisis.
There are plenty of examples in our country's history were the president and congressional leaders had very different ideological differences but were invited to the White House and stayed until they worked out an agreement for the betterment of all Americans.
I hope that President Obama and congressional leaders don't kick this fiscal crisis down the road again, but wake up and show true leadership for the future of our great nation.
David M. Scott
