Well Dave it looks like Alabama got a ticket to the big game. If Texas does not play better than they did today, Alabama will have a field day.
It's funny how a day can progress. I had remotely set up my DVR to record the game since I wasn't scheduled to arrive home from FLL until after 6pm. Then, when the Oasis debarkation went so fast and I was able to get on earlier flights I had that feeling one gets when everything falls in your favor. On the flight to ATL the plane had dozens of Florida fans headed to the game. They were all decked out in Gator shirts and so forth. I sat there and smiled. I got to HSV and as I approached the baggage carousel my luggage had just turned the corner and I didn't even break stride. I grabbed my suitcase and kept walking to the parking lot. It was already a great day and fixing to get better!
No way did I think we'd blow Florida off the field like that. Alabama played about as perfect a game as they can do. Texas snatched victory with that convenient last second call. I really like our chances to win the title.
And to paraphrase Tom Hanks...hey Tim Tebow, "there's no crying in football!"
The Gators played like girls. I don't know what film they watched, but it wasn't Alabama. I think Tebow had all the emotions of wanting to win 2 consecutive championships, 2 Heisman's, and the end of his career in college hit him all at once. I've seen plenty of pro players crying when they've lost a game. I know I'm a girl, but I'd much rather see them cry then start smashing things and cursing. It shows he's human. I am very happy for Alabama, they played a great game. They're going to have to play like that at the Rose Bowl. I'd love to see Bama win!
If Alabama plays the way they did, and Texas does not come to play it will be a blow out.
I think Bama will win by 10. Say 30-20. I might revise that closer to the game.
I hope it's closer than that. I enjoyed the Alabama/Auburn game, they both came to win. If Texas and Alabama play to win, it should be a great game!
I like the looks of most of the bowl match up. I think we will have some good football.
Alabama has a great back, but if I had a vote this Saturday, I would vote Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. Not too many DT's get this far. I just think he is a great player would name will be heard for many years to come.
Hey Dave, Congrads on your man, Mark Ingram winning the Heisman.
Suh may not have won the Heisman but he is the consensus favorite for being the #1 NFL draft pick, and that means big bucks. He may be the best defensive player in the past 20 years.
Ingram is a good kid and he has worked very hard. One thing to note is that while many Heisman winners have had great pro careers, it is also true that many of them have failed at the pro level. In some ways the trophy can be a curse. Archie who? Gino who?
Gino Griffin and Archie Torretta, remember them well http://bestsmileys.com/yawning/2.gif
BTW Vegas has the line Alabama by 4. If it is that close it will be a very good game. They have 45 total points so that would be Texas 21 Alabama 25.

Sen. Bill
Finkbeiner, a 1991 Whitman graduate, will present "In Search of a Philosophical
Majority" at 8 p.m. in Maxey Auditorium, near Otis and Boyer. The lecture will
be hosted by Whitman College President George Bridges, and the evening will
include a performance by the a cappella singing group The Testostertones. The
public is invited to this free presentation and to a pre-lecture reception for the
senator in
In 2006 Finkbeiner was the only Republican senator to vote for "The Anderson/Murray Anti-Discrimination Bill" which adds "sexual orientation" to a state law banning discrimination in housing, employment, insurance and credit. Many in the state attribute the passage of House Bill 2661 to Finkbeiner's support. The bill had been introduced but never passed since 1995. In 2005 it passed in the house 61-37 but lost by one vote in the Senate. Although Democrats had a 26-23 majority in the Senate, the bill failed there because two Democrats and all 23 Republicans (including Finkbeiner) voted against it.
However, in voting for the bill this year, Finkbeiner said "I've had a number of conversations over the past year that have led me to more fully understand the level of discrimination against gays and lesbians, and I now find it both appropriate and necessary for the state to make it clear that this is not acceptable.
"This issue has become one of many 'wedge' issues used to split our communities and divide us. Real people are affected by this issue: our friends, our co-workers, our family members, our neighbors. I don't agree with the politicization of people's personal lives, and I think it is time to move on."
Finkbeiner was elected to the Washington State Senate in 1994, 1998 and 2002. His current term expires in January 2007, and he serves on the Transportation, Financial Institutions, Housing & Consumer Protections and Rules committees.
The Matthew Shepard Lecture was founded to honor the memory of Matthew Shepard, who was murdered in a brutal anti-gay hate crime in 1998.

The following article is contributed by Dave Donaldson, PGRA
Historian, and taken from
The U.S. Navy has long been annoyed by the fact that its aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean are being trailed by Soviet cruise missile ships, and with good reason. If war broke out, the Russian vessels could sink the carriers with surface-to-surface missiles before they could launch their aircraft. Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, Chief of Naval Operations, disclosed last week that he has assigned patrol gunships on a trial basis to trail the ships that trail his ships. The Asheville-class craft being tested have Only 3-in, guns, which can scarcely harass the Soviet ships, and they ride so poorly that the U.S. crewmen have to strap themselves to their stations with safety belts. Still, the Navy hopes eventually to equip them with surface missiles that could pose a serious threat to the Soviet trailers.
The doomsday scenario, then, would have the Russian trailer getting in just one shot at the 1,000-ft. carrier, presumably not enough to knock it out, before the 450-ft. trailer is attacked by the 164-ft. U.S. patrol craft and must defend itself. The Russians could, of course, assign a smaller boat to trail the U.S. trailer. Eventually a long line of vessels of diminishing size would string out over the Mediterranean. Each would wheel to fire its heavier weapons at the less lethal boat astern. The final casualty might well be a lone U.S. Navy bos'n, brandishing a .45-cal. revolver as his canoe sinks into the sea.

A season of growth comes full circle for Duke football
With starting quarterback Anthony Boone sitting on the sidelines nursing a broken collarbone, the Blue Devils fell to Pittsburgh 58-55 in front of a sparse home crowd at Wallace Wade Stadium. Duke allowed nearly 600 yards of total offense in that Sept. 21 game as a late comeback attempt fell short.
The loss dropped the Blue Devils to 2-2 on the season. Boone had no timetable for his return, and the Duke defense looked every bit as porous as the group that allowed 49.2 points per game in a five-game losing skid to end the 2012 season. It was the type of loss that could send an otherwise-promising season spiraling out of control.
The opposite happened—more than two months later, the Blue Devils have not lost since.
"That's when it really settled in for me that we have a great team," redshirt senior cornerback Ross Cockrell said. "Even with all the ups and downs in that game, a lot of negative things happened for us. Defensively, we gave up a ton of big plays, but we fought to the very end of that game—a game we should have been out of, I think."
Despite all the negative takeaways on both sides of the ball, Cockrell said it was his team's loss to the Panthers that showed the physicality and resilience that has led the team on its current eight-game winning streak.
"I was talking to [head coach David Cutcliffe] after that game, and I said, 'Even after all the bad things that happened to us, we still were only three points away,'" Cockrell said. "And that's when I think I knew that we had a special team and that we had a special season ahead of us."
Slowly but surely, the Blue Devils built the pieces it would need to take the Coastal Division crown. After eking out an ugly win against Troy on Homecoming weekend, Duke began to look like a different football team. Boone returned, but the redshirt junior struggled, leaving the defense to grind out low-scoring affairs. Instead of jumping out to 20-point first quarter leads like the Blue Devils did last season against Virginia Tech, Duke fell behind early in games and had to claw its way back into contests. Turnovers turned into points—points turned into wins.
Cutcliffe often harps on the three phases necessary to winning a football game—offense, defense and special teams. During this eight-game winning streak, the Blue Devils have won games with only one or two of these phases playing efficiently. Fittingly, it took plays from all three phases to beat North Carolina and wrap up a season for the history books.
Duke's offense moved effectively through the air and marched down the field—just like it had in wins against N.C. Central, Navy and Miami—en route to the game-winning field goal. The Blue Devil defense came up with a turnover to seal the victory, just like it did in wins against Virginia, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest. And an opportunistic play on special teams by redshirt freshman DeVon Edwards gave Duke the spark it needed to prevail, just like it did four weeks ago against N.C. State.
"It went back to all three phases," Cutcliffe said. "All three phases in that last three, four minutes of the game had to step up and make plays to enable us to win. So how appropriate is that?"
Saturday's win was about more than just the first 10-win Duke team ever. It was about more than a trip to the ACC championship game or earning respect from other big-time college football programs. It was about bringing a journey full-circle—the culmination of a roller-coaster ride that ended with the realization of a dream Cutcliffe brought to Duke six years ago.
"We've never really been expected win," Boone said. "It's like a shark, once you taste blood for the first time, you know you just have to keep doing it. That's our mentality right now. We know how to win and we're going to go out there and do what it takes to win the game."

North Korea-South Korea Cooperatively Produced Film May See August Release
Wanghusimchung (Empress Chung), an animated feature film co-produced by studios in North and South Korea, may see a simultaneous release in the two countries this August if negotiations with the North Korean side of the production are successful, Creative Film Marketing reported last week. A new dub track is expected to be produced in North Korean dialect in preparation for the release.
The film, based on a traditional Korean tale, follows a blind man and his daughter, Chung, who offers herself as a sacrifice to a sea monster so that her father might see again. Empress Chung is the brainchild of the Korean animation guru Nelson Shin, who started out as an animator at Depatie-Freleng in the 1970s and went on to found Akom Production in 1985. Over the years Shin's company has worked on countless animated series, including X-Men, Animaniacs and The Simpsons.
So far Wanghusimchung has cost 7 billion won ($7 million). Early versions of the film were screened with English subtitles at the Jeonju International Film Festival this May and at the Seoul International Cartoon and Animation Festival (SICAF) last August, where it was awarded the grand prize.

Faced with an FAA mandate to modify all of the Hawker 4000s delivered thus far with fuel system upgrades that meet the latest certification standards, Hawker Beechcraft is combining that work with an extensive upgrade and enhancement program. The fuel system modifications require removal of the interior for access to isolate the fuel-system wiring harness and make other changes, all of which bring the 4000 to Amendment 102 standards of Part 25. The program will take about 90 days per airplane and work will be done at Hawker Beechcraft's Little Rock service center. The program includes the fuel system mods and the Load 20 upgrade to the Honeywell Epic avionics (with graphical weather, charts display and many other improvements), Fadec software upgrade for the P&WC PW308A engines, a higher-capacity and improved toilet and other system upgrades. Hawker Beechcraft is paying for the program and alternative lift (but not for revenue-generating charter flights lost as a result of the downtime or for avionics upgrades that weren't part of the original purchase agreement). The Hawker 4000 will be the first business jet to achieve Amendment 102 compliance when the first jets are delivered from the Little Rock facility in early 2011, according to Hawker Beechcraft.

Elk River's girls soccer team is still looking for its first goal of the season after losing to Blaine 1-0 at home Tuesday evening, falling to 0-3.
"We had some chances late in the game, but you've got to finish," said coach Brian Steuter.
In the conference opener, the Elks gave up a goal to Ashley Pafko midway through the first half. Kayla Zehowski in goal made a few nice saves to keep them within a goal but the Elks couldn't find the net against the Bengals and netminder Julia Clifford.
"In the last 15 or 20 minutes, it got a little hairy," said coach Barry Arrowsmith. "They (the Elks) put some pressure on us and had some corner kicks."
The Elks have lost to No. 9 ranked Edina 5-0, to Buffalo 1-0 and now Blaine 1-0. On Thursday, they'll play at No. 2 ranked Wayzata.

Terry Gavin: A Milwaukee Writer-Actor
How's business?
It's quite fine actually, quite fine indeed. I expect to have a book-signing at Barnes & Noble in the near future.
Do you want to leave Wisconsin?
Of course there's always an ultimate destination. Anyone who knows me knows for me it is London, but I am where I am right now.
You act, you're a novelist: How do you describe yourself?
I am a writer who acts. Next act: MacBeth at Off the Wall Theatre in February. Novelists are so incredibly brilliant and smart—adept at accomplishing most anything.
How close to your career dreams are you?
It's funny, but at the magic age of 5 years old, what I can remember, literally, is wanting to be an actor. I have always wanted to make the wildly exotic, that might have seemed impossible, possible.
Describe the soil you tread on these days.
Tentative at best—we all live and have lived through tenacious times like these, yet keep plugging away. Frankly, I just wear down the competition. On a good day, I am graceful, because duty calls—that is just part of the gig.
What is your contribution to the world?
An honest voice—I am able to say things most people might think but are afraid to verbalize. For me, it truly comes from within and it has to be bold.
What are people most surprised to find out about you?
Probably that I'm not some intense machine. I am relatively calm—relatively.
Why are you newsworthy?
Let's face it: We have zero novelists. I can't think of a single cutting-edge novel that tells a more unique story of excess, extreme wealth and drug abuse untold from Milwaukee about Milwaukee. I guess my impetus for writing was inspiration and pain, though not necessarily my own. I think it is important to write our biographies, observing the challenges and rewards unique to this city.
According to Terry Gavin, what is the "big issue" with the city and with the world?
Political hypocrisy and self-righteous indignation.
Can the "big issue" be fixed by actors as role models?
It can be fixed, but only if they are personally enlightened.

Having the Ford Territory parked in my driveway has been ever so lovely but really in the end, it's just a car… albeit a luxurious car that gets me comfortably from point A to point B. What really sets it apart from the one I have now is in the details. I can easily find happiness in the littlest things and thankfully the Territory has plenty of them, so many in fact that I have to list them all!
- Diesel – When Steve and I bought our car we ummed and ahhed about getting a diesel engine but in the end we went with a petrol engine and we were happy… until we got the Territory. We realised how much extra grunt it gave us, especially on long drives and vowed that our next car would be a diesel.
- Automatic Lights – Never been in love with a feature more. No more lights left on after a long day and they just click on when you need them, even if you didn't realise that you did. Nifty.
- Touch Screen Command Center – Hello Lover! This made it so simple to control absolutely everything from syncing my iPhone, lights, locks and music controls, even down to temperature.
- SAT NAV – I used it a lot and it was pretty simple to use, touching the big screen made it quicker to set up so I could get on my way. Steve liked her voice. It was so nice not having a Nav Man hanging from the windscreen for a change.
- KM's per Tank – I've personally managed to clock over 2000kms in the Territory and I still have $200 in fuel vouchers left… if that's not a win I don't know what is!
- Rest Reminders – I'm a seasoned long distance driver, I know when to stop, get out, stretch and breathe… but sometimes it's easy to forget when you're on a self set deadline, the kids are asleep and it's easier to just drive on through. The Territory reminds you to take a break every 2 hours, a little message pops up on the electronic speedo, so sweet and could potentially save lives by kick starting our common sense.
- DVD Player – Only used on long trips to avoid tantrums and I didn't even have to listen as Aidan had his own wireless headphones. I liked that it had a remote too so I wasn't constantly twisting my back out setting it all up.
- Leather Adjustable Seats – Steve and I have different body types despite being the same height and since I do the majority of the driving the seat in our car usually stays on my setting. Every now and then I'll jump in and found he's been playing with the controls but it just takes a few quick flicks of my finger and the chair readjusts to my desired height, length, angle, support. Oh and the leather, so buttery soft, no ugly car seat covers required. Easy to wipe clean too.
- Airbags – The Territory has them up the wazoo to protect the family's noggins. Front, passenger, side curtrain… you name it it's in there.
- Colour Choices – Steve and I got really lucky because if we were to buy an brand new car these were the colours we would have chosen. We like a dark leather interior and whilst some argue that "Smoke" isn't the safest of car colours when it comes to visibility… it sure is sexy.
- Storage– I like to stash things, keeping them nearby and handy especially since I drive to the city a lot and that can have me in the car from one hour to three depending on traffic. I always have clean bottled water in each of the car doors, packets of tiny teddies shoved in the center console, tic tacs in the front console, toddler kit (travel potty, nappies, wipes, sunscreen, mozzie spray, spare tshirt, pants and jocks) in a bag stored away in the boot as well as a picnic blanket, first aid kit in the glovebox, sunglasses in the overhead compartment and a few of Aidan's DVDs in the pocket behind the passenger chair.
- Cabin Temperature Controls – The fact of the matter is I run hot and Steve runs cold so we've always been at odds when it comes to the temperature in the car. With the Territory you can have different temps for the driver and passenger side.
- Sound – Aidan and I love playing our favourite songs loudly in the car, singing along to all the words and "chair dancing". Syncing my iPhone to the Command Center means I can now play all the lastest tracks I've downloaded. My new favourite station is 95.3 check it out. It's what inspired the soundtrack for this week's video.
- Click Controlled Lights – You actually push the light itself to turn it on and off, so simple, so clever.
- Child Friendly – "I love my car Mumma" is randomly blurted out by Aidan whilst I'm driving, I'm not even kidding. He's going to be so heartbroken if we have to give it back. As you could see from the other video he was able to get in the car quite easily on his own. I also liked that I was able to fit three car seats comfortably on the back seat and that the seats are high enough that even the little ones can see out the window.
- Driver Respect – I've never been checked out by so many middle aged Dads in my entire life. I get the respectful steering wheel wave when other Territory drivers see my slick ride and more than twice I've been stopped in a parking lot by random people who want to talk about the car, asking how it runs, how much per tank and how much stuff I can fit in it. Big thumbs up for all three in case you're wondering too.
Nothing in this world is perfect so there are a couple of little things that irked me that might not even bother you at all but I promised myself, no matter how great a product or service is, I'd always be honest… even if a car and a trip to New York is on the line.
I found the boot lock a bit tedious, lots of double clicking and getting the sequence right. Maybe it was just me but it was soooo annoying. Whilst the car was very easy to maneuver in car parks and winding roads the sheer size often meant it took up most of the road and almost all of a parking space. Just something to consider if you're not used to a car this size. Like I said, little irks.
Aidan's not the only one who's fallen in love with the Territory… I have too. I know a lot of you have commented that my videos have brought a tear to your eye so this week I wanted to mix it up a little bit, share my sense of humour. Please know it's all just a bit of fun and that I don't get around town like this everyday… just on special occasions!
This is the last post I'll be submitting for the Kidspot Ford Territory Top 50 Competition… sigh. I decided early on that I was going to make the most of this unique opportunity and go all out, guns blazing.
Thank you Ford Australia for trusting me with a brand spanking new car, just know I really made the most of the opportunity. Thank you Kidspot for creating an initiative that pushed my creative limits and really supports and celebrates bloggers. To Beth, Sonia , Katrina and Jen thank you for bringing your A-Game to the competition, you've all inspired me in different ways.
Finally, Thank YOU. The support you have all given me by voting me into the Top 5 has lifted me up more than you can imagine. This is my third year in the Top 50 competition and even if I don't take out the title this year I feel so good about it all within myself. Just being involved has opened me up so to many new opportunities that may not have existed for me. Onward and upward as they say… preferably with the plane nose directed towards the bright lights of New York.
Wish me luck x

ESCONDIDO —— Fallen firefighters, police officers and military veterans will be remembered this weekend in a series of fund-raisers to benefit families in need, including survivors of Hurricane Katrina.
The Escondido Fire Department will hold a boot drive Friday and Saturday for hurricane survivors on the Gulf Coast, and a memorial softball game to benefit children who have lost parents on Sunday.
On Friday, off-duty firefighters in uniform will be at the Cruisin' Grand car show downtown asking people to put money in their boots. The boot passing will continue Saturday during the "Escondido Cares" event, also downtown.
Saturday's hurricane fund-raiser, organized by downtown businesses, runs from 5 to 9 p.m. and includes southern and Creole food, wine and beer tasting, New Orleans and jazz music, and silent auctions.
Boots will also be out at each Escondido fire station this month.
"We want to encourage people to bring money by," said firefighter Michael O'Connor. "No donation is too small; no donation too large."
On Sunday, the firefighters will attempt to beat the Escondido Police Department in its second annual Sept. 11, 2001, memorial softball game and barbecue.
"It's a comradery-building event between the police department and fire department," said Escondido Police Officer Mike Garcia. "It's a little friendly competition."
The event is being held on the fourth anniversary of the terrorist attacks to honor the first respondents —— firefighters, police officers and port authority personnel —— who died in the twin towers when they collapsed.
Juan Pablo Cisneros, a former Escondido resident, will also be remembered. The 1995 Orange Glen High School graduate died when the first plane hit the World Trade Center, just below the 104th-floor office where he worked as a bond trader for Cantor Fitzgerald.
The names of the first responders and Cisneros will be read throughout the day on Sunday. This year, the names of local military veterans killed in the Iraqi war will be included. A fire bell will be rung after each name is read. Event organizers are seeking children and adults to help with the reading.
The game will be held at Escondido's Kit Carson Park, at 3333 Bear Valley Parkway, on Root Field. The day will start at 4:30 p.m. with a flag-raising ceremony by the police honor guard, Pledge of Allegiance, singing of the national anthem, and a prayer by the Escondido fire chaplain. The nine-inning game is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m.
The barbecue will go on throughout the day. Attendees can purchase food and commemorative Sept. 11 T-shirts with the Fire Department of New York and the New York Police Department logos.
The firefighters said they will donate their half of the proceeds to the Tunnel to Towers Run in New York, in honor of fallen firefighter Stephen Siller. The Children's Foundation run raises money for children who have lost a parent.
The police officers said they will put the other half into a trust fund for the family of fallen Officer Isaac Espinoza. The San Francisco police officer was killed last year in the line of duty.
Espinoza, 29, left behind his wife, Renata, and his now-4-year-old daughter, Isabella. He received three major awards in his eight years of service, including the Silver Medal of Valor and the Purple Heart, according to the San Francisco Police Department.
He was also a member of his department's softball league.
"He was very active in his community and highly respected in his department," Garcia said.
"The (game's) purpose, in my mind, is to raise awareness and support for the police department," he added. "I don't think the public is always aware of what all we do. Whether we are helping a family in need or rescuing someone, we are always looking for a way to help people in need."
For information, contact Michael O'Connor at (760) 390-5364 or firstname.lastname@example.com .

Does the Buck Stop Here? A Comparison of Withdrawals from Money Market Mutual Funds with Floating and Constant Share Prices
Recent reform proposals call for an elimination of the constant net asset value (NAV) or "buck" in money market mutual funds to reduce the occurrence of runs. Outside the United States, there are several countries that have money market mutual funds with and without constant NAVs. Using daily data on individual fund flows from these countries, this paper evaluates whether the reliance on a constant NAV is associated with a higher frequency of sustained fund outflows. Preliminary evidence suggests that funds with a constant NAV are more likely to experience sustained outflows, even after controlling for country fixed effects and other factors. Moreover, these sustained outflows in constant NAV money market funds were more acute during the period of the run on the Reserve Primary fund, and were subdued after the U.S. Treasury guarantee program for money market funds was put in place. Consistent with the theory that constant NAV funds receive additional implicit support from fund sponsors, fund liquidations are less prevalent in funds with a constant NAV following periods of larger outflows.

IT was the end of a long, hot day and some of the young singers were a little antsy. Bubble-gum popped. Candy papers rustled. Aluminum chairs scraped the floor.
The children kept flubbing a beat in a critical line of the chorus. It just wasn't happening.
It was hard to imagine that early this year these 60-plus singers -- all too young to even drive -- were being considered in the same category as Jon Bon Jovi and Melissa Etheridge for a music award.
But on this afternoon, the youngsters had come straight from school to rehearse, and they were struggling to get it right.
''No, again,'' said Cantor Sheri E. Blum, director of the junior choir at Congregation B'nai Israel in Bridgeport. ''Listen to the music.''
They all nodded.
Ms. Blum rewound the cassette, and they tried again. Aerosmith, it wasn't.
Finally, after three more attempts, they got it. So it goes for a young, Jewish rock group whose CD, ''The Rock Service, Featuring Cantor Bruce Benson and the Jazz Service'' vied with the likes of Aerosmith's ''Just Push Play'' and Blink 182's ''Take Off Your Pants & Jacket'' for a Grammy Award nomination in the category of ''Best Rock Album'' for 2001.Continue reading the main story
The Jewish group's CD did not make the final cut for the Grammy nominations this year, but, as the children are eager to point out, neither did Mr. Bon Jovi's or Ms. Etheridge's. But don't think that it matters a bit to the 95 choir members. They have not missed a beat in telling everyone they know that it was ''way cool'' to be up against Aerosmith.
''The Rock Service'' CD has 16 tracks that combine original rock music with liturgically accurate chants.
''As a child of the 60's, rock music became my focal point in life,'' said Mr. Benson, who wrote the music for the CD. ''But I always had two pieces of my life: the secular rock-and-roll part and the Jewish part. I had to figure out how to mix both.''
He did. The track ''Barchu,'' which means blessing, is a raucous rock song that combines words from the Jewish prayer book to call congregants to worship.
''I started writing this service 30 years ago when I entered Hebrew Union College cantorial school and continued to write contemporary music based on chants,'' he said. ''This rock service is not written to be Leonard Bernstein. The key is to make a melody that's simple. That's why this rock service works. Of the 16 pieces, the congregation on first hearing will be able to sing 12 of them, learning them as they are singing them.''
About 3,500 copies of the CD have been sold since it first came out in May 2001, he said. In fact, Mr. Benson said the CD was doing so well that he resigned from his cantorial duties to travel with the band.
''It felt good to be recognized around the world, or in the state, maybe,'' said Peter Kaminsky, 12, of Monroe, who sang on the CD. ''How many kids can say they cut a CD?''
Well, not many kids who are still in Hebrew school, anyway.
The youth choir is the brainchild of Ms. Blum, who organized the first chorus at the synagogue when she came from Worcester, Mass., nine years ago. The choir has grown to the point where more than two-thirds of the children attending Hebrew school at the synagogue are members. Only children in sixth grade and under are allowed to be in the chorus and all the songs, including the ones on the CD, are sung in Hebrew.
''It's the largest, if not the only, synagogue-supported junior choir in Connecticut,'' she said.
Attendance at the synagogue's monthly family service where the junior choir sings has risen from about 30 people nine years ago to more than 400 today, Ms. Blum said. This month the choir will sing at family services for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur.
''The junior choir's singing makes it so much more exciting,'' said Steven Wettenstein, 13, of Easton who sang on the CD.
Amen to that, said Alicia Wettenstein, Steven's mother. ''The services are so much more engaging when the junior choir sings. To have them in control of this presents a whole new aspect to the service and it engages them. Once the children are engaged, it's that much nicer for the parents.''
The increase in attendance may be due, in part, to recent changes in the Reform movement synagogues, the most liberal, to make services more lively and participatory for worshipers. Cantor Scott E. Colbert, executive vice president of the American Conference of Cantors in Atlanta, said ''the Reform Movement has put liturgical music on the front burner in last three years.''
Mr. Colbert said that in a 1999 sermon, Rabbi Eric Yoffie, president of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, ''basically challenged rabbis and cantors to re-invent the wheel by creating accessibility and opportunities for congregants to participate in meaningful worship together as a community.''
Mr. Colbert said the impact of the rock CD, which he called ''warm, exciting and accessible'' is that the ''genre of music speaks to a generation that has no connection with eastern European traditional Jewish music, but has a deep connection with that of American secular music.''
For the children in the choir, it is not all fun and games. In addition to attending elementary and middle school during the day, they also attend three hours of Hebrew school and at least two hours of choir practice during the week.
''I try to make it really fun for them,'' Ms. Blum said. ''If they've performed regularly during the year, I take them to see a Broadway show. We do a lot of fun stuff, like singing the national anthem at Bluefish Stadium before the Bluefish play baseball.''
Ms. Blum, who knew Mr. Benson from cantorial school, said he long dreamed of creating a rock arrangement for a Jewish liturgy. He based his rock service on the Friday night prayers welcoming the Sabbath. They decided it would be a great idea to make the CD. The effort took a year, during which time the choir raised money for the production. The instrumental tracks were recorded separately before Mr. Benson joined the choir for a day of recording.
''Music plays a really big role in my religion and being in the choir makes the chants during the service more exciting and easy to remember,'' said Sara Guariglia, 11, of Monroe. ''I've learned a lot of Hebrew and really enjoyed it. Every time I came out of choir rehearsal, I'd have a song in my head because it's so catchy.''
Arielle Berger, 12, of Fairfield, said the choir experience ''broadened my horizons.''
''That's what studying Hebrew is about: understanding our culture.''Continue reading the main story

It's not often we get the news of a female bowhunter and a 200+ inch whitetail buck. In fact, a few of us here at Bowhunting.Com are wondering what the all-time biggest whitetail buck may have scored from a female bowhunter. We don't know that answer yet, but you bet we're digging through the archives as you read the story below. What a monster buck!
For 2 years both Lacy Shomaker and her husband Mark have been hunting this bruiser buck on their 200 acre lease just outside of Manhattan, Kansas. Over those 2 years they have accumulated many trailcam pictures and sheds of this seemingly disappearing buck.
In December of 2008, Mark was able to squeeze of a round from his rifle at the giant at no greater than 100 yards. It was determined later, he was off the mark, missing the buck completely.
Fast forwarding to November 3, 2009; Lacy gets her first chance. A doe brought the buck directly under her stand! As she maneuvered to get the shot and drew back, a neighbor started up a nearby tractor, sending the buck bounding away.
A few days later on November 9th, while hunting a different stand on the same property, a doe once again brings the big boy to her. This time she would not miss. At 15 yards she comes to full draw with her Parker bow, and lets an arrow fly! A perfect broadside shot yields a complete pass-thru and pummels both lungs. The buck would fall 70 yards later.
The husband and wife duo were ecstatic at what had just happened, and the 2 year quest to take this Kansas typical was over! The Kansas stud is said to gross 216", weighing in at over 200 pounds! And while following the giant bucks blood trail they actually found another one of the bucks sheds from the previous year!
The staff here at Bowhunting.Com would like to congratulate the husband/wife duo and their efforts to take such an impressive animal. Lacy, a HUGE congrats to you! We know just how tough it can be to make that shot when it's in front of us, and you made it count! Congrats!
We should also make mention that shortly after wife, Lacy, took the monster 216" buck, her husband Mark downed this wickedly strange non-typical on the same farm. Congrats to Mark on this awesome buck! You did us men-folk proud, but if your wife is like any of ours, we would be in for a long winter with her. Congrats again Mark!

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Bipolar 1 and 2 are generally treated with mood stabilizers and anti-psychotic medications to help minimize mania, mood swings, and irritability that can affect a lot of people. Antidepressants are avoided because they usually cause a manic episode, which is usually then followed by a depressive episode, causing a medication-induced emotional rollercoaster.
Medications common include Abilify, Lamictal, Depakote, Risperdal, and Lithium.
So what's the difference then in how they're treated or is there any? I mean is the dose just smaller for bipolar 2?
The only difference between the two disorders is how severe the manic episodes are. Bipolar II does not have full-fledged manic episodes, only depressive and hypomanic. That makes it slightly easier to treat because the mood swings aren't as severe.
So generally we see less need for anti-psychotic medication use in Bipolar II because those medications are usually used to treat significant manic symptoms including psychotic episodes.
I got that but you said the meds are the same but obviously there has to be some difference? Dosage or ?
What are the typical anti psychotics?
Sorry I'm new to this. I have a lot of questions!
Abilify, Risperdal, and Seroquel are the most common currently in use.
Is Lamictal an antipsychotic? Depakote?
Both of those are mood stabilizers. They work by trying to minimize the highs and lows that happen with Bipolar.
Is there any danger of getting too much of these if the doc thinks you have Bipolar 1 vs Bipolar 2? My doc is ramping up the Lamictal but keeping the Depakote the same? He is totally new for me. The first time I saw him was when I had this "event".
Lamictal was made to help the older mood-stablizers (like Depakote) work better. You often start with a small dose of the Lamictal and build your dose up over the first month. That's normal and allows for your body to adjust. It also minimizes your risk of negative side-effects.
So no danger of getting too much if it's Bipolar 2 vs Bipolar 1?
Neither of these medications will cause a manic episode, so they are safe to increase until the desired symptom management is found, or until negative side-effects indicate that a different medication combo may be needed. Unlike Lithium (old mood stabilizer) these do not build up to dangerous levels in the blood.
No, for mood stabilizers there is no risk of "getting to much" based on which form of Bipolar.
One more question and you've been a "life saver" by the way! How do I know if I'm getting too much?
For Lamictal the biggest side effect to watch out for is a rash that spreads. This is a sign that your body does not like the chemicals the drug uses, and that you'd need to find a different mood stabilizer. Your doctor will do routine blood work to make sure the medications are not over-working the liver. Otherwise, you and your doctor will figure out your dose based on what your symptoms are doing.
Think of it as driving a car. You know when to stop turning the wheel based on where the car is currently located.
Some people report that once they reach "too much" of a mood stabilizer that they feel no emotions, numb, or even increased depression. These are all signs that there may be too much in the body.
Thank you! It's hard for me to put this into words, you've been soooooooo helpful! It's hard to go through this and understand everything! Can I give you a bonus?
Good luck, it's a lot to adjust to a new diagnosis and medications. Yes, bonuses are always appreciated. Hope to talk to you later if you have any additional questions.
Thanks again, do I just click on the add funds first and then the accept button?
It's up to you what order to click. After you talk to an expert you get the chance to accept, give bonuses, and to leave feedback too.
OK so either or right?
Thanks BYE!

I was prescribed 250 mg pills to take day and night. It took around two weeks to see results but I stopped breaking out around 1 month after taking them consistently. I finished one full course and was completely clear, then after 7 months I began to break out again. I decided to do another course (one course is three weeks) and the effects lasted for a month. When I started to break out again I decided that I cannot take any gaps and began taking them everyday. I'm still breaking out but its not as bad as it was prior to taking these pills so I will continue to do so. Alongside this I used Retin A at night and Dalacin T (Topical cream and liquid) for the first couple of months, which really helped in fading scars. But that is a thing of the past... since I have been breaking out more consistently. These pills did help though... even if it was just for a short period of time and anyone who has acne knows that even if the affects are temporary, clear skin is always a blessing that cannot be quantified. I just wanted to add that I think I see a pattern now in how I break out... a week before that time of the month. So I know my acne is hormonal... I read about how spironolactone can help balance hormones so I am taking that now in conjunction with erythro. It's been about a week but I'm hoping from the depths of my heart that this will eliminate these severe breakouts. Wish me luck, I'm sending out my best wishes to all the acne-sufferers out there.
Tried it for a few months, did absolutely nothing. I didn't see an improvement nor did my acne get worse. I only applied at night and by the morning i would see a ton of flakes on my skin of where it had rubbed off during the night from tossing and turning. Luckily my insurance had covered the entire thing so I didn't waste any money on it.
It really worked for awhile, but then my acne was just as bad as ever.
Antibiotics are great for cystic acne but bad for your body in the long run. Unfortunately, topical creams don't typically work for those individuals with cystic acne so this is our best bet. I am
Just worried after all these years of being on antibiotics (different kinds) that I'm doing some major damage
Hopefully my face will clear up again but for now it went back to its old ways - ill give it another month before I make a decision to pull the plug on this med
I remember the first time I applied this to my face. I almost hit the roof. I was running around the house screaming "GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!" It burnt so bad. The burning went away after about 1 minute. I had to put up with that every morning and night for 100 days. Overall, it didn't do anything but erode the surface of my skin. The flaking was out of control.
Cannot recommend.
My acne is not the sort that covers large areas of my face but I do suffer from very large and very deep cystic spots. Given the size, pain and regularity of these I have listed my acne as 'moderately severe'
Having used Erythromycin and Differin for just over four months, I am disappointed to say that my acne has not improved at all. In the first week of using these two treatments my skin cleared spectacularly, however, given the speed at which this happened I believe that this 'clear period' was merely coincidental.
I have had numerous periods where my skin has been clear, however, this was also the case whilst using my previous treatment (Lymecycline tablets) so in that respect Erythromycin has brought about little improvement. These periods of clear skin would rarely last longer than two or three days and I would estimate that throughout the four months of me using these treatments, I have, in total, had clear skin for less that two weeks.
It works amazingly and i could see a difference in a few applications. Its probably better to take the tablets after having a meal because it absorbs better. Its good thought because got the tablets FREE because i got it from a prescription from my doctor. It is a good antibiotic because im not even a teenager yet.
Used this with differin cream. After 3 days no new acne came. Skin is clearing up! Loving it.
I see people complainign about cramps and all that, just use the topical kind. Youll have more control and it stil lworks relaly well. It may get off to a slow start, but dman once it does start, this stuff is magic in a bottle for your acne. Any knid...maybe not cystic or blackheads...but yes, this is the product.
For short term use....
unfortuuneatley, it stops worknig after some months.
I loved it, after around a year some pimples came back but it was way better than what i had before, this can cause you to lose weight for some people thats a plus, but the stomach cramps sucked.

World: Middle East
Iran acknowledges missile test
Iran has confirmed US reports that it has tested a new medium-range missile.
The Defence Minister, Ali Shamkani, told Iranian state and television that the test was carried out through the efforts of Iranian military experts and without "any foreign support".
"The defence policy of the Islamic republic is based on improving its deterrent capability," he said.
"Considering the developments in the immediate region and beyond, the will of the Islamic republic is to preserve peace."
Mr Shamkhani said the missile had a range of 1,300km but he gave no other details on its type and the location of the test site.
He also did not comment on US reports that the missile blew up in mid-flight. American experts believe Iran has not yet developed full medium-range capability.
The US - whose spy satellites detected the test on Wednesday - says they have identified it as the Shahab-3 missile.
Correspondents say it is a missile of North Korean design, capable of striking Israel, Saudi Arabia, parts of Russia and Turkey.
Fierce US and Israeli reaction
The test drew strong criticism from the US and President Clinton warned it could be an obstacle to Washington developing better relations with Teheran.
Israel also expressed concern over the missile test and said it would take any necessary steps to defend itself.

Sports News of Saturday, 26 January 2013
Source: GNA
Fred Crenstil Vice President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has said the Black Stars will not be complacent in their next game against Niger, though Niger is seen as a relatively weaker side as compared other teams in the group.
Niger occupies the bottom of the table with two points and Ghana will need at least a draw to advance to the next stage of the competition.
Speaking to the GNA Sports, Crenstil said Niger is not a cheap side as people are speculating and their performance last Thursday against DR Congo was an indication of the fact that they are a very strong side.
"It is just unfortunate they are at the bottom of Group B, but I can assure you they are very good side and one will underrate them of at your own peril. They are not pushovers as people will want us to believe". He stated.
According to the GFA Vice President, the performance of the team in the last two games, was not to expectation and the last game will provide them with the opportunity to perform at the maximum level.
"We know our team and we believe they can do better than what they have done in the last two games and the game against Niger will see much better performance from the team.
"We have to remain at Port Elizabeth so we must win the game to top the group to avoid embarking on a journey to another town for the quarter final match." He told the GNA Sports.
He noted that though Ghana has four points and in a good position to advance to the next stage of the competition, winning the next game remains a priority.
He added that "Mali could top the group if they win the next game so we are motivated to go all out to secure the three maximum points at stake to realize our dreams of winning the group and remain at Port Elizabeth".
Crenstil, said the players are much aware of the stakes in the game against Niger and are poised to clinch the three points at stake on Monday.
Ghana will play Niger in the last Group B game at the Nations Cup, as they continue their campaign to end the 31 year old drought, since winning the cup.

Reprinted from Forbes:
Had he not passed away at the tender age of 92 in 1973, Ludwig von Mises would have turned 131 years old today. In my humble opinion, he was the greatest social thinker of the twentieth century. In a series of breakthrough contributions like The Theory of Money and Credit, Socialism: An Economic And Sociological Analysis, Human Action (his magnum opus), and Theory and History–to say nothing of a series of smaller and no-less-insightful works like Bureaucracy and Omnipotent Government–Mises developed theories of economic growth and business cycles that are relevant today. One of the wonders of the modern world is that his major contributions are available to be perused or downloaded from the institute bearing his name or from the Liberty Fund. Today, anyone with access to an internet connection can access his works with little or no trouble. Anyone with a USB drive can carry his greatest works on a keychain.
The progress that made this possible wasn't an accident, and it wasn't random. Indeed, this brings us to Mises's greatest contribution: his demonstration that socialism cannot function as a rational economic system and that private ownership of the means of production is necessary if value is going to be maximized and waste is going to be minimized in the production process.
Mises started–and in my humble opinion, ended–the debate over whether an economic system based on common or social ownership of the means of production could function with his essay "Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth.†He demonstrated that it was impossible to know whether a particular production process was wise (resource-optimizing) or unwise (resource-wasting) in the absence of prices for the means of production. His socialist critics accepted this, and Oskar Lange suggested that a statue of Mises be given a place of honor by the socialist Central Planning Board (here is Murray Rothbard with more).
Mises carried his argument step further, though: he argued that these prices cannot emerge without exchange, and exchange in turn cannot happen without private ownership of the means of production. Many economists laud the market for its efficiency properties as free markets generally direct resources to their highest-valued ends while minimizing costs of production. In the Misesian tradition, however, the market plays a much more essential role. It is not merely one of a number of possible allocative mechanisms. Exchange in a free market is an information- and knowledge-generating process. To adapt the title of one of Hayek's essays, competition in the free market is "a discovery procedure.â€Â This emphasis on the coordinating and knowledge-generating properties of exchange in a free market with secure private property rights is one of the distinctive features of the modern Misesian tradition, which is discussed in a three-part series by my occasional co-author Steven Horwitz (1, 2, 3).
Mises's arguments, and the arguments of those who have followed him, do not merely undermine arguments for pure, global socialism. They also undermine arguments for interventionism more generally. Economists take a lot of heat for focusing on market exchange and material prosperity, and it is fashionable in some circles to say that "there is more to life than economic efficiency†as if that decides an argument in favor of intervention. Not so: people respond to incentives, even when you don't want them to, and the knowledge-destroying and incentive-distorting effects of interventionism all too often bring with them unintended consequences that not only reduce economic efficiency but also harm precisely the intended beneficiaries of the intervention.
It is for this reason that I urge my students to consider the consequences of different interventionist schemes–to count the cost, as it were. In his introduction to the new edition of Socialism from Laissez-Faire Books, Peter J. Boettke makes an important point:
"Critics of economics say that economists know the price of everything but the value of nothing. Nothing, perhaps, is so dangerous intellectually in the policy sciences as an economist who knows only economics, except, I would add, a moral philosopher who knows no economics at all.â€
Ludwig von Mises can no longer teach us economics in person. His astounding intellectual contributions live on, though, in his writings and in the passion for truth that shines through almost every word. Unfortunately, the people who most need to read Mises probably won't. In this light, I can close with nothing better than the sober warning Mises offers in the last few sentences of Human Action:
"The body of economic knowledge is an essential element in the structure of human civilization; it is the foundation upon which modern industrialism and all the moral, intellectual, technological, and therapeutical achievements of the last centuries have been built. It rests with men whether they will make the proper use of the rich treasure with which this knowledge provides them or whether they will leave it unused. But if they fail to take the best advantage of it and disregard its teachings and warnings, they will not annul economics; they will stamp out society and the human race.â€
*-Disclosures: I have done (and will do) contract work for the Mises Institute, Laissez-Faire Books, Liberty Fund, and the Foundation for Economic Education, but not in conjunction with this article. I'm grateful to Michael Goldstein for the reminder that today is Mises's birthday.

Ok all this talk about henna and cassia has my head spinning right now. I'm still confused on what's good and what's not. But also i need to know, have any of you heard of a brand called Hask Placenta. It's Henna and Placenta mixed together and the henna is neutral, so it won't add color to your hair which is what i want. Im a big scaredy cat when it comes down to color lol. Do you girls think this will be ok to us or should just stick to the old regular henna or cassia stuff? These are the ingredients :
Purified Water , Acetamide MEA , Cetearyl Alcohol , Ceteareth-20 , Cetyl Alcohol , Soluble Collagen , Propylene Glycol , Isostearyl Ethylimidonium Ethosulfate , Henna Extract , Placenta Extract , Hexylene Glycol , Citric Acid , Imidazolidinyl Urea , Methylparaben , Propylparaben , Fragrance , Glycerine , Phosphoric Acid.
I bought this a long time ago and never used it because i chickened out, but now i'm tempted to try it now. So let me know what you think. I'm thinking about using it tomorrow. Gotta sleep on it tonight lol

During football season, one of my boys has made a habit out of sitting in front of his computer with a game in the background, betting $0.25 on virtually every play. Wagering a quarter that the Seattle Seahawks will run the ball for 3-6 yards is one way to amp up the intensity of the game.
I haven't seen any gambling sites offer this same feature during NBA contests. The game is too fast-paced to place play-by-play bets. But the NBA Draft isn't – in fact, it's the perfect venue to throw your money away gambling online.
Before coverage of the draft starts, here are the first tier of categories you should be able to wager on:
* Color of suit worn by each player
* Number of buttons on suit worn by each player
* Biggest entourage in the green room
* Biggest/Most ridiculous tie
And then once everything gets going…
* First person to shed a tear (options are Player, Mother, Significant Other, Random Entourage Member)
* Last person to be selected from the green room
* First player to change draft caps
* First player to be booed by Radio City crowd
Today is the perfect day to get this off the ground, now that we know (mostly) who is going to be in the green room. Draft Express collected this list of names – acknowledging that there could be some late additions and subtractions.
* Blake Griffin
* James Harden
* Hasheem Thabeet
* Ricky Rubio
* Jordan Hill
* Tyreke Evans
* Stephen Curry
* Jonny Flynn
* Demar DeRozan
* Jrue Holiday
* Gerald Henderson
* Brandon Jennings
* Tyler Hansbrough
* B.J. Mullens (potentially declining)
* James Johnson (declining invite)
* Eric Maynor (potentially declining)
Ty Lawson wasn't confirmed either way.
I'm surprised that Earl Clark's name isn't on that list. But his upside has been overshadowed by some ambiguous question marks for a lot of teams.
Last year was a bit easier to bet – we all knew that Danilo Gallinari would be raucously booed, and one of the Lopez brothers was an easy choice in the "first-to-cry" category. This year's a bit tougher, but Thabeet is a lock for "most buttons" and as much as I'm rooting for him, we'll be staring into Hansbrough's deer-in-headlights look longer than any other green room prospect.

One For the Books
R.J. Julia Booksellers in Madison, Conn., sponsored an event for actor and children's book author John Lithgow, who signed copies of Never Play Music Right Next to the Zoo (S&S), which is based on one of Lithgow's original songs and illustrated by Leeza Hernandez. The event was part of a weeklong series of appearances for Lithgow throughout the tri-state area. The author entertained the appreciative audience by singing along to a recording of the music that comes packaged with his book. Here, Lithgow signs the guestbook at R.J. Julia.
For the Record
In October, book enthusiasts took part in the annual Read for the Record campaign. Across the U.S., 2,462,860 adults and children read the same book – Otis by Loren Long (Philomel) – breaking the previous world record for a book read by the most people in one day. The campaign, a collaboration between the early education organization Jumpstart, the Pearson Foundation, and the nonprofit We Give Books, promotes literacy. Shown here, Long and celebrity campaign ambassador Tiffani Thiessen, visited a preschool classroom on New York City's Lower East Side as part of the festivities.
The Usual Suspects
Seventy-five young fans of Dutton's long-running Encyclopedia Brown detective series by Donald J. Sobol recently took part in an event at the New York Public Library. Each guest was given a fake mustache, a green pen, and a scavenger hunt sheet upon arrival. The scavenger hunt took them all over the library and ended at the Children's Center where fingerprinting was among the featured activities; participants who completed the hunt received goody bags. Here, Nathanial Gilson, a guest at the event, stands in front of the Encyclopedia Brown sign on display.
I, Robot
In between running writing workshops for hundreds of sixth graders at Memorial Middle School in Middlefield, Conn., author Paul Acampora sported his home-fashioned robot costume to join students and school staff for their annual Halloween parade. Acampora's forthcoming middle grade novel, I Kill the Mockingbird, will be published by Roaring Brook Press in May 2014.

" Brand: Yamaha / Drums & Percussion Type: Drum "
The Yamaha Tour Custom is an amazing piece of kit the sound that this drum creates is purely staggering. All Yamaha wood drums have one thing in common-Yamaha's craftsmen create every drum shell using their exclusive staggered diagonal seam, Air Seal System just as they have since 1967. Each two or three-ply master ply is cut to length to very precise tolerance with a diagonal cut on each end. The diagonal seam in the drum shell will not separate, eliminating the need to fill gaps in the bearing edge with filler putty. These plies have glue applied and are then put into the mold by hand, one master play at a time. The craftsman then inserts an air bag into the mold and inflates it, clamping the shell with even pressure 360 degrees around. This process creates a shell that is strong, starts round, and stays round for many years.
Using this process it has a perfect circle and it will retain this circle for many years to come. Making drums this precisely means that they don't come cheap. You can get it from Andertons for $1299.99. But in the long run if you have that kind of money loose then this is the drum kit you want. Also it comes with an optional complete cymbol kit which will cost you just over $150 at most shops.
On the whole this is a really high quality drum kit and anyone who has been playing drums for a while and wants a new Higher quality kit then this is the right thing for you.

Like most things in our post-modern world, masculinity is being deconstructed. Author and poet Carlos Andres Gomez takes a hammer to the gendered notion in his memoir MAN UP: Cracking the Code of Modern Manhood. Gomez talks to Bob about integrity, honor, and some other fractured nouns.
Then, American historian Harlow Giles Unger takes a fresh look at our nation's sixth president in his new biography John Quincy Adams. Raised by John and Abigail Adams to be a great leader, Quincy Adams' career spanned the administrations of George Washington to Abraham Lincoln. In this presidential election year, Bob looks back on one of our most important early leaders. [Broadcast Date: November 28, 2012]

Religion and Family in a Changing Society
The 1950s religious boom was organized around the male-breadwinner lifestyle in the burgeoning postwar suburbs. But since the 1950s, family life has been fundamentally reconfigured in the United States. How do religion and family fit together today?
This book examines how religious congregations in America have responded to changes in family structure, and how families participate in local religious life. Based on a study of congregations and community residents in upstate New York, sociologist Penny Edgell argues that while some religious groups may be nostalgic for the Ozzie and Harriet days, others are changing, knowing that fewer and fewer families fit this traditional pattern. In order to keep members with nontraditional family arrangements within the congregation, these innovators have sought to emphasize individual freedom and personal spirituality and actively to welcome single adults and those from nontraditional families.
Edgell shows that mothers and fathers seek involvement in congregations for different reasons. Men tend to think of congregations as social support structures, and to get involved as a means of participating in the lives of their children. Women, by contrast, are more often motivated by the quest for religious experience, and can adapt more readily to pluralist ideas about family structure. This, Edgell concludes, may explain the attraction of men to more conservative congregations, and women to nontraditional religious groups.
"Penny Edgell's new monograph provides a much-needed analysis of the intersections of religion and family life. . . . Edgell's work reaches beyond sociology of religion and sociology of family in an effort to speak to broader questions about culture, meaning, social engagement, and social change."--Sally K. Gallagher, Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion
"Religion and Family in a Changing Society should be the starting point for anyone interested in understanding contemporary family-religion dynamics."--Scott M. Myers, American Journal of Sociology
"The research in this book is more extensive than almost anything else on this topic--and this is a topic that has received considerable attention in recent years. The particular attractiveness of the book is its combination of qualitative and quantitative evidence. I can think of no other book that brings the two together in this way."--Robert Wuthnow, Princeton University
"This book is a significant contribution to the contemporary discussion about the relation of family to religious institutions in the United States. It corrects several misunderstandings and clarifies a number of ambiguities about the religion-family link. It also displays a sophisticated social-science methodology and makes important theoretical contributions to both social theory and the sociology of religion."--Don Browning, University of Chicago

Nokia E6 can be pre-ordered at Amazon for $446, shipping in "one to two months"
Here's one for you Symbian fan in the US of A. Or you, Nokia fanboy living in Uncle Sam's backyard. The Symbian Anna-running, QWERTY+touchscreen touting Nokia E6 (or E6-00, to be precise) is now up for pre-order stateside.
Amazon is the ingenious retailer who didn't want to disappoint the aforementioned fans, and has listed the Nokia E6 for a cool $446. That, of course, will get you an unlocked, unbranded, SIM-free device that hasn't been tinkered with by a carrier in any way, shape, or form. Some like them that way.
The Nokia E6 will work on both AT&T and T-Mobile, and you'll be able to use all their connectivity options (GSM, EDGE, 3G, "4G") since the E6, like all recent Symbian smartphones, comes with a pentaband 3G radio that makes it pretty much the definition of a world phone. Of course, like with any GSM-based phone, you won't be able to use the E6 on Sprint or Verizon.
Amazon says that it will start shipping the E6 in "1 to 2 months", which is uncharacteristically vague, but there you have it. If you're dying to get your grubby mitts on the E6, then run to Amazon now, place your order, then patiently start waiting. A month, two – who cares, when you'll be able to play with Symbian Anna?
