The Stone Roses, 'The Stone Roses'
Silvertone, 1989
For a few glorious moments, the Stone Roses looked like they might lead another British Invasion. Instead, they fell apart – but first they made this incredible album, highlighted by the ecstatic eight-minute-long "I Am the Resurrection." It single-handedly launched Nineties Brit pop.

The Nov. 5 City Commission election in Anna Maria features four candidates vying for three seats, and voters can thus choose three names. Carol A. Carter, Doug Copeland, Michael Jaworski and Dale Woodland are competing for chairs on the dais.
Carol Carter
Carter's resume reflects broad experience in leadership roles, including as vice chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh, vice president of Duquesne University and a trustee at McDaniel College, her Maryland alma mater. With a master's degree in human development, she spent more than three decades as a charitable gift fundraiser -- helping nonprofit institutions attract $1 billion.
An Anna Maria homeowner since 2001 and resident since 2006, Carter has maintained her ties to higher education and charitable causes here with service as vice president of the New College Foundation. A past board member of the Anna Maria Island Community Center, she currently sits on the Anna Maria Planning and Zoning Board, so she's well acquainted with municipal issues.
That strong track record and broad experience would be valuable to the city.
Carter is seeking office for three reasons: to be a positive advocate of balancing the interests of residents, businesses and visitors; to work on restoring a more gentile way of life, and to put a priority on the enforcement of ordinances and codes -- the latter being one of the key issues in Anna Maria. She also supports business, especially family and small operations, as the job creators in the city.
While some residents disdain the impacts of tourism on traffic and parking and want to clamp down, Carter stakes out a moderate and sound position with her focus on balancing community interests.
She's also on target with her desire to protect the island city's fragile environment. The "green" eco-friendly developments along Pine Avenue prove that to be a wise policy.
In response to a Herald query, Carter stated that this is the "moment in time" for her to step forward and make a difference. We agree. Her credentials have proven her skills in leadership.
The Herald Editorial Board recommends Carol A. Carter for the Anna Maria City Commission.
Doug Copeland
Anna Maria residents hold Copeland in high regard. His dedication to civic improvements and community service dates back decades. A year ago this month, Copeland stood before a City Commission meeting to accept the Citizen of the Year Award.
His list of public work is impressive: two decades on the city's Planning and Zoning Board, including as chair, and membership on the Comprehensive Plan Review Board. He also helped develop the Anna Maria historical park on Pine Avenue and the landscaping at Bean Point.
Not surprisingly, in June he was appointed to the commission to serve the remaining five months in the term of a commissioner who resigned. Copeland was immediately and unanimously elected vice chair.
A woodworker, he has been a supporter of the Pine Avenue development that brought quite a number of two-story, Key West-style buildings with retail on the ground floor and residential above. He noted the city had been wanting this type of development for decades, though some residents and officials fought the Pine Avenue Restoration partnership's plans.
Copeland applauded PAR for only building two-story structures when the city allows three, and he also appreciates the type of quality small businesses that arrived -- not a T-shirt shop in sight. We agree on all counts. PAR elevated Anna Maria's status in the world by leaps and bounds.
The city has always had a tourist economy, a good thing, Copeland says, even as homeowners cash in on high prices in the island's hot real estate market, with residences either being converted to vacation homes or demolished for new construction.
Copeland accepts change, even as others hope to turn the tide in a market they cannot control. So Copeland hopes to maintain the laid-back atmosphere as change occurs, a more realistic approach.
A longtime Anna Maria resident -- he purchased his home here in 1974 -- Copeland told this Editorial Board he's not really campaigning and is more a "reluctant" candidate. But, he says, "I'm surprised that I enjoy being a commissioner."
His commendable record of public service speaks volumes, and his pragmatic approach to policy is appropriate. He has earned a full term on the commission. The Herald Editorial Board recommends Doug Copeland for Anna Maria City Commission.
Michael Jaworski
A part-time employee of Anna Maria's public works department and a retired Ford Motor Co. employee, Jaworski is seeking political office for the first time. Like Copeland, he's running a low-profile campaign that is not accepting contributions. He joined the race to give voters a choice of candidates in the wake of the last election when nobody signed up for the mayoral contest.
"I am a diversely educated, free thinking individual who is willing to take the time to listen and respect each citizen's concerns," he informed this Editorial Board.
He intends to preserve Anna Maria's quaint, small-town appeal, protect the environment and promote openness. One key issue will be solving the city's parking crunch and allowing convenient access to both businesses and vacation properties while also addressing all interested citizens' concerns, he says.
Jaworski also cites striking a balance between business and resident interests to foster a vibrant community that features inclusiveness and diversity as well as job creation.
Like other island candidates, he plans to seek a higher return on the county's resort tax and divert some of that money away from tourism promotion and into island infrastructure -- in Anna Maria, the city pier in particular.
Currently, the county's focus has been on beach renourishment, but we agree the county's Tourist Development Council should invest more in other projects that benefit islanders and visitors alike.
Jaworski admits he faces a learning curve if elected, but vows to work diligently to learn the ropes. He would bring a fresh perspective to the commission. The Herald Editorial Board recommends Michael Jaworski for Anna Maria City Commission.
Candidate rebuttals
Candidates who do not receive the Herald Editorial Board's endorsement are invited to submit a response of up to 300 words by noon on Oct. 28.
Those can be sent to email@example.com or faxed to 745-7047.

The Beatles were essentially a boy band who did generic rock and roll songs about holding girls' hands, who went off and did some drugs and came back with some new innovations in music, such as using the instruments and musical style that had been popular for centuries in another part of the world, and watering down some of John Cage's ideas in order to make them palatable to a pop audience. In the words of Chuck D: "Don't believe the hype".
It seems that the Beatles died in order of talent: Lennon went first, and as his solo work suggests he was clearly the best songwriter in the band. Harrison was next, and was another excellent songwriter - 'Here Comes the Sun' is one of my favourite Beatles' tracks, and some of his solo stuff is fantastic. The two that remain are Ringo and McCartney – if my theory's correct, Ringo's next (he did Thomas the Tank Engine, after all).
There are few people in this world who grate on me as much as Paul McCartney. He may have the biggest ego in the history of the world, and he more than anyone else has fallen for the Beatles' hype machine. The incident that cemented my views on McCartney isn't the fact that he's pushed out on stage during every 'national' event to do another rendition of 'Hey Jude', lapping up the adulation like a suckling pig; it wasn't the tasteless 9/11 cash-in song where he talks about freedom and high-fives people in front of the stars and stripes; it wasn't even McCartney's legal squabbles over who owns the name of a fruit that has existed for decades, maybe longer. It boils down to his petty legal squabbling over whether the Beatles' tracks that he wrote should be listed McCartney / Lennon rather than Lennon / McCartney. This is some horrible ego at work. What difference does this actually make, and who actually cares? What a complete and utter tit.
It is with this anger that I return to Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The opening track is infuriating: the tune itself is actually really good, but the horn section is just horrible, and every time Paul McCartney opens his mouth I just want to punch him. 'With a Little Help from my Friends' is an awesome song that is ruined by Ringo Starr's flat vocals - Joe Cocker's version pisses all over this one. It was one of those running jokes that Ringo should sing on a track on each album – the listener bears the brunt of this punchline. 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' is categorically not an acronym, and the song is definitely not about drugs: at least that's what you'd think if you believe what the band actually said about the song. It's actually a great piece of music: I love the dreamy vocals and Doors-esque keyboard riff. 'Getting Better' is a real feel-good song that is difficult to find fault with (apart from the fact that McCartney is on the lead vocals). 'Fixing a Hole' reminds me of something that the Kinks would have done, and much better. I hate the harpsichord in this track, it sounds incredibly cheesy. 'Within Without You' is excellent – this is one of the best tracks on the album, and probably one of the best tracks that the Beatles made beyond 'Tomorrow Never Knows'. 'Lovely Rita' has a great intro, but goes off a cliff roughly at the point when McCartney comes in. Album closer 'A Day in the Life' is actually quite brilliant. I love the chord progression in this song and wall of sound that this song becomes - even McCartney sounds good in this one.
This is not the five-star album that everyone makes out: there are some very good songs on here, two excellent ones, and the rest I can take or leave. It is a four-star album at best. As for whether this is a keeper or a culler, I'll admit that I'm on the fence with this one. Do I despise Paul McCartney so much that I'm willing to forgo listening to the tracks that I like, or is it best to exorcise this demonic ego from my music collection for good?
I think it's time to get rid. Someone needs to take a stand.

NBA trade rumors have until 3 p.m. EST to remain relevant so Thursday's Trade Rumor Roundup might not have as long of a lifespan as it has since the inception of this column thanks to the afternoon trade deadline. There are still quite a few deals to get to, however -- even with Dwight Howard apparently deciding to stay with the Orlando Magic for one more season.
Howard made the decision late Wednesday night to opt-in to an extra season in his contract, effectively making all of the speculation of where he might go absolutely worthless. Unless one listens to SB Nation's Tom Ziller, however, as he's an advocate of the Magic trading Howard now that he has opted-in ... which would just create an awesome, fun mess for everyone involved. Our own Mike Prada looked at something similar on Wednesday, too, deciding to check in on the best places the Magic could trade Howard just out of spite.
All isn't lost for the trade fanatics in the world, however, as the Los Angeles Lakers are expected to be one of the more active teams when it comes to deals at the NBA trade deadline.
The Lakers are reportedly getting very close to a deal that would put Michael Beasley and Metta World Peace on the same team, according to numerous reports. In the proposed three-team trade, the Lakers would send either Steve Blake or a first-round pick to the Portland Trail Blazers and the Minnesota Timberwolves would receive Jamal Crawford from the Blazers in return for trading Beasley.
There are sure to be quite a few rumors coming out following the publishing of this column so be sure to stay tuned to our StoryStream dedicated exclusively to the NBA trade deadline for up-to-date news and rumors. For now, though, a look back at what everyone might have missed while they were sleeping.
- The New Jersey Nets fans are getting a bit worried now that Dwight Howard won't be taking his talents to Brooklyn for at least a little while longer. NetsDaily asks a pretty important question, then: Will Deron Williams stay in New Jersey if they're unable to improve once again?
- The Washington Wizards have made JaVale McGee available to interested parties, but they want a pretty good deal in return for giving up one of the most potential-laden hot-mess centers in the NBA.
- The Boston Celtics are looking for a big man -- any big man -- and have reportedly zeroed in on Chris Kaman from the New Orleans Hornets. They can't trade for his contract without giving up a piece of the Big Three, however, so the only way to acquire him would be if he's bought out after the deadline.
- Speaking of the Celtics, there's apparently legitimate interest in acquiring J.J. Hickson from the Sacramento Kings. It's unclear what they'd have to give up in return, but as written earlier, they're definitely in the market for a big man.
- The Phoenix Suns don't sound like they're going to do anything at the trade deadline, according to Bright Side of the Sun's Seth Pollack.
- It's irrelevant now, but the Kings and Golden State Warriors reportedly looked at a deal that would have seen Monta Ellis and Tyreke Evans change teams.
- Not a trade, but the Memphis Grizzlies are interested in adding Gilbert Arenas as a free agent. O.J. Mayo and Hibachi would create a fun tandem when on the court together, probably.
Do you love when basketball teams make moves? Great! Aside from our NBA trade rumors StoryStream, we have you covered with NBA trade deadline previews from around the league.

Mozzarella for pizza
I may have to give up making pizza for lack of cheese. It seems like in the olden days any mozzarella would give you a good stretchy and tasty cheese. Everything we get now is like pale Velveeta. The latest try was Cacique which turns out to be a Mexican cheese... Per their website it has "great string", not only would I say not great, I would say NONE.
Are there any national brands better than others? We live in the sticks and have little choice.
This was last nights dinner, I thought it came out nice and would have been very good if not for the sucky cheese.
We use Poly-O (or Sorrento if we must). Poly-O goes on sale here for 1/2 price every once in a while.
Got 6 # s in the freezer now that Pizza season is here.
re: wavywok
re: King of Northern Blvd
re: King of Northern Blvd
Here in the tri-state area (NY/NJ/CT) Poly-O and Sorrento seem to be the big name ones in pretty much all the stores. I use Poly-o on pizze as it DOES melt and gives me enough oven time so it doesn't brown (I really don't like browned -top pizza). I've tried using fresh, but the (yes, I'll say it) more rubbery Poly-O retains it's flavor better. Agreed +1 to whole milk!
re: wavywok
I think that Cook's Illustrated liked Kraft among supermarket mozzarellas.
re: Bada Bing
re: hotoynoodle
re: coll
my family used polly-o when i was a kid and it was pretty good. it's flavorless rubber now. it never occurred to me to buy kraft mozz -- i didn't even know they made it. their cheddar and stuff is so sub-par i don't bother wasting the money.
am lucky to have access to italian markets and good cheese shops so i go there for most things.
re: coll
re: hotoynoodle
Yeah, I was surprised, too.
CI's favorite cheese was Sorrento Whole Milk, which is marketed as "Precious" out West, it says. Unfortunately for me, it is apparently not available in Northern Indiana supermarkets.
Kraft Part-Skim was second up, even beating out Sorrento's park-skim version. The only one not recommended was Sargento.
re: Bada Bing
CI bought Kraft mozzarella in block form and grated it, not the shredded stuff in the bags.
Kengk might want to try the block mozzarella in the deli case and break out the box grater.
If you're feeling deep you can buy the mozzarella in ball form that is found in gourmet groceries andethnicc markets. Its worth it for pizza Margherita but if you make American style pizza the other ingredients will overwhelm the cheese's delicate flavor.
Use whole milk mozz. For extra flavor and chewiness, mix half and half with muenster - the secret pizza weapon.
Is fresh buffalo mozzarella available near you?
re: 1POINT21GW
I live in an affluent area on the Jersey Shore. There is a significant Italian-American population and more than several good to very good Italian provisioners close by. In light of that, and considering the fact that Manhattan is visible from the beach a few miles up, fresh buffalo mozzarella is basically unavailable here. I find it unlikely that the OP has better access. Moreover, fresh mozz is not going to provide the stringy, "parlor slice" quality the OP seems to be looking for.
re: MGZ
re: MGZ
Costco carries fresh buffalo mozzarella, imported from Italy, so if you have one near you you have an excellent (and reasonably priced) source. However, I agree with you that fresh mozz is not what gives a pizza the "parlor slice" quality you describe. Personally (and I'm sure many people will consider this heresy), I don't care for buffalo or fresh cow mozzarella on pizza anyway. I think the high heat degrades it too much - it just turns into a watery, rubbery mess. I would much rather savor it at room temperature and use regular mozz on my pizza!
re: biondanonima
re: MGZ
Well, the term "fresh" in this case doesn't necessarily refer to the age of the product. "Fresh" mozzarella, which is usually packed in brine for sale, can last a week or two in the fridge. The term "fresh" is just there to distinguish it from regular or "low-moisture" mozzarella, which is the standard Polly-O type.
In the US, fresh mozzarella is almost always made of cow's milk (mozzarella fior di latte), and lacks the tang and texture of mozzarella made from water buffalo milk (mozzarella di bufala). Personally, I find mozzarella di bufala much more delicious than cow's milk fresh mozzarella, even if it's a few days older. The mozzarella di bufala from Costco is fantastic and retains its flavor well - last week, I ate the last ball in the tub about 2 days before the "sell by" date (it had been in my fridge about 1.5 weeks at that point) and it was still awesome. As good as if I'd eaten it the day it was made? No. But better than pretty much any mozzarella fior di latte I've had in the US.

re: scubadoo97
re: scubadoo97
While I have sometimes had wateriness (sp?) be a problem, I think it's also the case that the wateriness is part of what we're after if using fresh mozz to make a Naples-style of pizza, which I generally do. My oven can get my baking stone up to about 600 degrees (I use an infrared thermometer), which is just about good enough to make the real deal. Maybe that heat evaporates the moisture better. But still, I like at least a semi-soggy middle in that kind of pizza.
Retail mozz is a joke (to me anyway). None of them are any good anymore and it kills me to buy them, no matter how cheap. If you have a food wholesaler nearby, pick up a 5 lb loaf of Grande, Aiello, Empire or whatever the pizzerias in your area prefer. They like a mix of whole milk and part skim, and it has to be "low moisture". You can cut it into lbs, it freezes very well.
The nearest town to me has a population right at 3,000 people and a Piggly Wiggly.
Marcella Hazan (in her Classic Italian Cooking and More Classic Italian Cooking) expressed great frustration with American Mozzarella, back in the 80's. Her solution? She has you toss the grated cheese with olive oil and let it sit, so that it absorbs it and gets, well juicier.
It does work, but what also makes a nice pizza is to use provolone. I don't know why my dad started using it - but he loved it and it did make a very tasty pizza.
An ex-New Yorker, when the one place he liked pizza from closed up, he started making his own and did so for decades.
Your pizza looks great. If the flavor is meh, I suggest that you add in some modest amounts of genuine parmigiano, or asiago/romano, and even a touch of cheddar. Greek feta is also worthy. Just be aware that those cheeses will also ask you to modify your salt levels--lowering them a bit.
Come to think of it, make sure you're putting some salt on the pizzas as you already make them.
Take a look at what's available by mail from Pennsylvania Macaroni Company. Although I live in Manhattan and have access to excellent, freshly made mozzarella if that's what I'm looking for, when it comes to cheese for my pizza I want something that, as you say, is tasty, melty, and stringy. I've tried a few of their cheese products and am a fan of the Grande Shredded 50/50 Blend. But I see they have something new now that looks very intriguing and I might try that next time I order: The F & A Whole Milk Mozzarella that they say to mix half-and-half with Park provolone. Hmmmm.
If you make pizza often, there are many other excellent products on this site. I love the 6 in 1 tomatoes for sauce and the Ezzo pepperoni is outstanding. Good prices, excellent service, and modest shipping charges.
re: JoanN
I'm fortunate to live within walking distance of Penn Mac and buy most of my cheeses as well as my pizza making and Italian cooking supplies there. In person they are very helpful and generous. Out-of-town friends I have told of Penn Mac report that they are equally as helpful over the phone or through email and that shipping charges are very reasonable. I recommend Penn Mac to anyone looking for reasonably priced cheeses and Italian cooking supplies.
I make a lot of pizza, and I can at least partially confirm what JoanN says. Although I often get a little creative with my cheese blends, my standard, most common, cheese topping is Penn Mac's standard fresh mozzarella, which I shred by hand, and mix about half-and-half with the Park Provolette, which I grate. I usually use my microplane to grate a little Pecorino Romano DOC or Reggiano Parmigiano DOC on before I bake the pizza and also grate some on after I pull it from the oven.
I can't really speak to the quality of the pepperoni, but I can confirm that the 6-in-1 ground tomatoes from Escalon are fantastic. Switching to them for the sauce was somewhat of a pizza making revelation for me.
Trader Joe's or the Grande brand they sell at Whole Foods are good, so long as they're whole milk. Mozzarella di Bufala should be eaten within HOURS of being made, so the export stuff isn't going to taste nearly as good as fresh. Still tastes better than most of what's on the shelf in your local market, but for me it's not worth the premium. Your best bet is to find your closest cheesemonger who can steer you towards a small dairy farm making quality, locally sourced cheeses. Usually more expensive, but almost always more flavorful than factory cheese.
One trick a local, dearly departed Italian pizzeria used was a mix of provolone and Danish fontina on their white pizza. Heavenly with some fresh grated romano and parmegian.
re: monkeyrotica
re: happybaker
re: monkeyrotica
I actually occasionally make a white pizza with some fontina on it, and you're right, monkeyrotica, about it having an earthiness. I usually make my white-fontina pizza with boursin, as well, of all things. The creaminess of the boursin really contrasts nicely with the fontina. Those two cheeses with a nice mix of veggies (I usually do onion, mushroom, maybe some sliced tomatoes and another veggie or two) on a thinner dough, and the crust brushed with garlic butter or oil, is really fantastic.
re: MonMauler
The fact that there's so much bland part-skim mozzarella and flavorless pepperoni on the market should motivate people to experiment with other styles of cheeses and toppings. I'm not particularly fond of fennel but I tried thin shaves of it on a fontina/provo pizza with some capers and a squeeze of lemon and it tasted great.
re: happybaker
re: happybaker
Made great pizza last night with TJ's whole milk mozz, muenster, parm, and romano. Nicely chewy cheese, good flavor. Used homemade sauce from the last of the local vine-ripened tomatoes :-(, roasted red peppers, and average pepperoni (because we didn't have the time to drive around and chase down good stuff, if there really IS such an animal in my area).
Sort of an American-Italian pizza with good crust - several hours on the poolish.
Better late than never: Trader joes shredded Quattro Formaggio (asagio, fontina, parm and mild provolone) is delicious on pizza IN COMBO with a few thin slices of TJ's fresh whole milk Mozzarella LOG and perhaps some (a little) TJ's burrata here and there. I also sprinkle on a little shredded moz. The right combination of these cheeses will melt perfectly at 550 for 5 or 6 minutes when using a pizza stone, and not bring down a Naples style pizza if used sparingly. The
Quattro Formaggio used sparingly is REALLY good and adds much flavor!
For those who don't have a Trader Joe's, my sympathy, but try BelGioioso Mozzarella Cheese. It is excellent and will not water up on your pizza.

As a master's program student of Walden University course 6710, Understanding the Impact of Technology on Education, Work, and Society, this week I was required to review the website, Partnership for 21st Century Skills.
The Partnership for 21st Century Skills is an organization that was established in 2002. Their mission is to "Serve as a catalyst to position 21st century skills at the center of US K-12 education by building collaborative partnerships among education, business, community, and government leaders." (Partnership for 21st Century Skills, 2004) It was impressive to see over 230 business organizations involved in this organization. As I continued through the site to explore what this organization is capable of, I found an excellent resource in the Route 21 link. Route 21 is a free, online, interactive tool that is sponsored by The Partnership for 21st Century Skills. Its purpose is to provide tools and resources to facilitate the use of 21st century skills in education. Over 6500 members have the ability to browse, as well as, contribute to the resources available for educators committed to making a change in their schools. The over 200 video resources, Route 21 Snapshots, available through George Lucas Educational Foundation's Edutopia, gave examples of 21st century skills being taught in the classroom. Their annually published MILE guide, which included a self assessment tool for districts that are involved in this program, is a good resource of strategies for teachers. It also gives the district a method of evaluating their progress as a district involved in Partnership for 21st Century Skills.
As I delved deeper into the program I began to ask more critical questions of the program. Where are the specifics for the framework? An additional concern that I have is, why is it that in seven years only fourteen states have embraced this program as something of value? Input from researchers in the field of education along with the voices of educators and corporate America have established that there is definitely a need for change. My concern is that The Partnership for 21st Century Skills is based on a great deal of theory with little research to support participation in their program. When searching for research studies on the program's success, I found websites and several blogs opposing this program. The main argument of those that oppose the program is a fear that core curriculum will be lost or "dumbed down". The website Common Core gave valid points and had several blogs to interact with on the topic as well as many news links on the topic. In addition to the Common Core website, I found many blogs opposing the Partnership for 21st Century Skills program. Daniel Willingham, the author of Why Don't Students Like School? A Cognitive Scientist Answers Questions About How the Mind Works and What It Means for the Classroom, , has a blog with topics on education, one of them being, Flawed Assumptions Undergird the Program at the Partnership for 21st-Century Skills.
As an educator that is in full support of 21st Century Skills being a critical component of the classroom of today, I am still not sold on the program offered by Partnership for 21st Century Skills. I am not, by any means, opposing The Partnership for 21st Century Skills. I am just not convinced of its value just yet. I am in full support of improving the, all too lacking, critical thinking skills, problem solving skills, and creativity of our students, but the last thing that I am interested in, is indulging in a new found idea in education. Most individuals involved in education are leery of new, unproven programs, therefore making them apprehensive when it comes to implementing new ideas. Good educators work too hard to meet expectations. Time is precious, and good educators do not have it to waste on unproven programs.

TERRE HAUTE — In a mandatory meeting on Aug. 20, the Ladies Professional Golf Association announced to its membership that it was adopting a policy that will require all of its members to speak English or face suspension. If a player has been on tour for two years and fails to pass an oral evaluation at the end of 2009, she could be suspended. The rule is effective immediately for new players.
This information leaked to the public sooner that the LPGA had hoped, so it hadn't finished drafting a written version of the policy. LPGA officials were very naive to think it wouldn't be leaked, and blind if they didn't think it would be controversial. Blogs, bulletin boards and web pages are full of people claiming either racism or discrimination, or both.
Some people agree with the LPGA and understand its point of view. The Australian Ladies Professional Golf chief executive Warren Sevil supports the LPGA in its decision saying, "It's important to note that this whole policy is directed at international members. It's not about the Korean players. Everyone's been talking discrimination and it's all about getting Korean players off the Tour, and really it's the wrong thing to assume; it's not about that. It's important that [non-English-speaking players] are able to communicate with the sponsors, with their playing partners and even with the rules officials."
Libba Galloway, LPGA deputy commissioner, made this statement: "We're focusing on the fact that we're in the sports entertainment business and we have to interact with fans and sponsors. We want to emphasize to our players that they need to be approachable."
She added that there were very few players who didn't speak English and said she doubted any suspensions would happen, but emphasized that if they do, the player will not be kicked off the tour. The LPGA will work with them to help them meet the requirement. In 2007 the LPGA established a program that includes tutoring services available to players and has made language-learning software available too.
The organization insists the purpose of its language policy is to help players maximize their earning power and promote the tour at the same time.
From a business point of view, I understand what the LPGA is trying to do, and why it has a right to do it. The LPGA Tour is a product. That product is a combination of a structure, which would be the schedule of tour events, and personnel, which would be the players themselves. Of those, 121 are foreign players from 26 different countries. There are 45 players from South Korea.
The tour travels to many different cities, and reaches many different fans. People buy tickets to come out to see highly talented women play golf. Volunteers in vast quantities are necessary to make a golf tour event go smoothly. These people will come away from their day at the event with a better impression if one or more of the tour members shakes their hand, signs an autograph or talks to the crowd.
The LPGA Tour prides itself in being fan accessible, and it needs to be. There are only so many sponsorship dollars available, and the PGA Tour has the majority of them. In order for the LPGA to compete it needs to display an event where players are relevant, which in this case means ones who the television audience cares to see. If a player can't speak English well enough to answer questions, it's very hard to put together an interesting montage to keep those television sets turned on.
The LPGA is in a tough spot. It wants to attract the best players, but if those players happen to be non-English speaking, it puts a damper on the enthusiasm of the fans. The LPGA has to enhance its product and market it to enough sponsors to keep the tour alive.
I don't know if speaking English is the answer, but it could very possibly help. It might have other side effects also. It could cause even more foreign-born players to scoop up the golf scholarships to colleges, in order to give themselves time to learn the language before they join the tour.
Time will tell what kind of effect this policy will have on the LPGA. Meanwhile, what they really need to do to enhance their tour is to promote golf as a sport to young American girls. If the United States can continue to produce quality young players like Paula Creamer and Morgan Pressel, the competition will be great and the American fans will feel a connection too. There are so many sports options available to young girls now, golf is usually pretty far down on the list.
Quote of the Day- "Now I can go out and play golf and have some fun." – Michael Phelps, U.S. Olympic swimmer, after winning his eighth golf medal at the Beijing Games.

staff writer
Growing up in Salem, Kyle Harrington was a New England Patriots fan.
"Of course, they were my favorite (NFL) team," said Harrington, who played at Salem High and followed it up with an outstanding career at UMass.
Harrington, 23, doesn't like the Patriots any less these days, but beginning today you can say he's also a fan of 31 other NFL teams.
That's not being wishy-washy, it's being realistic. When you're a 6-foot-4, 295 pound defensive tackle and viewed as someone whose stock is rising in the NFL draft process, your allegiances can change very quickly.
"Any team that's willing to take me — that will be my favorite team," said Harrington.
This much seems a lock: Harrington won't be drafted in today's first round. It's also unlikely that he'll go in tomorrow's second or third round.
"I'm no (Ndamukong) Suh," Harrington said with self-deprecating humor while referring to the University of Nebraska superstar defensive tackle who could the No. 1 or No. 2 pick overall.
But on Saturday, when the draft unfolds with the fourth through seventh rounds, Harrington plans to be near a phone at home in Salem.
"That's going to be the biggest day for me, with the late rounds," said Harrington. "Even if nothing happens with the draft, I could get a call from a team that would want me as a free agent. If that happens, it could be somewhat beneficial because I could look at depth charts and see what kind of defense different teams play.
"But of course I would rather be drafted. If some teams wants to draft me, it would feel like a great achievement."
Based on his body of work at UMass, where he made 142 career tackles and was a CAA All-Conference Second Team All-Star last year, and his impressive showing on Pro Day on the Amherst campus on March 25, Harrington has evidently elevated himself onto the NFL radar screen.
The Pro Day results were particularly relevant for Harrington because it happened so recently. Performing for scouts from various teams, Harrington ran the 40-yard dash in 4.87 seconds with the wind and 4.96 seconds against the wind. He also displayed a 26-inch vertical, an 8-4 broad jump and did 43 bench press reps. There were several other drills and while it all sounds technical and perhaps even tedious to the average fan, pro teams take this stuff very seriously.
"I felt pretty comfortable out there," Harrington said of Pro Day. "At one point, the (Philadelphia) Eagles scout took me aside and had me do some drills. He went out of his way to have me do that stuff for him. I thought, 'This is a good thing.'"
A nose tackle at UMass, Harrington got an inkling that he might be NFL draft material when the team's defensive coaches told him in a postseason meeting that he might have the talent to take it to the next level.
Harrington, who graduated with a degree in criminal justice last winter, took his cues from there. He came home and, along with UMass teammate Eric Dickson, became a regular at Mike Boyle's Strength and Conditioning facility in Winchester. NFL players Zak DeOssie (New York Giants), Gosder Cherilus (a Detroit Lions first round choice two years ago) and Nick Hennessey of Danvers (Buffalo Bills) have capitalized on specific programs that have been set up at Boyle's, so the precedent was set for hopefuls like Harrington and Dickson.
Kyle Holland, a strength and conditioning coach at Boyle's Winchester facility, is accustomed to seeing motivated athletes, but Harrington and Dickson took it a step further. They were fanatical about their workouts in anticipation of Pro Day and even after that day passed, they were still showing up. The owners might as well just tell them to bring in sandwiches for the staff since they're there so often..
"We were talking about this a little while ago — this is Week 19 for those guys," Holland said of Harrington and Dickson. "They would come in four days a week (before Pro Day) and they're not done yet.
"With Harrington, he was probably 230-240 (pounds) when he got to UMass, and then he made himself very strong. He had all that horsepower and beef, which is good, but over here we had him dial it down and make it specific for the performance tests he would get from the NFL people. We hammered home the techniques he would need. It's almost like studying for an exam in school."
Armed with knowledge of what would be required and in peak physical condition, Harrington excelled on Pro Day, a development that didn't surprise Holland.
"He's as hard a worker as we've ever had," said Holland. "He shows up early and does the extra things to make himself better. I think Kyle was very happy with the numbers he had on Pro Day. I don't think he expected a sub-5.0 (seconds) in the 40. He was pumped up about that. You have guys who are projected to go high in draft who aren't as fast. It has to help him."
Another UMass player from the North Shore, fullback Chris Zardas of St. John's Prep, also has an outside shot of being drafted. Zardas came back from serious knee injuries early in his career and was a two-year starter, capping it off with a solid senior season in which he carried the ball 43 times for 164 yards and three touchdowns and caught seven passes for 46 yards and a TD. Zardas was recognized as the CAA All-Conference First Team fullback. Zardas is rated No. 17 at the fullback position by CBS Sportsline.com.
"Chris had a great senior year and (NFL) teams took an interest in him," said Harrington.
Meanwhile, Peter Harrington has been watching baby brother Kyle's progress from afar. Peter Harrington, who played for Army, is now serving in Afghanistan and is undoubtedly proud of Kyle. But it works both ways, of course.
"I just talked to my brother (recently), when he called home," said Kyle. "Here he is fighting for our country while I hope to play in the NFL. Those are two extremes. But he's looking forward to coming home and hopefully seeing me play."
Age: 23
Hometown: Salem
Height, weight: 6-foot-4, 295 pounds
School: UMass-Amherst
Position: Nose tackle/defensive tackle
College football highlights: Played in 38 games, starting in 29, and finished with 142 tackles and six sacks; all-conference second team pick as senior.
Man of strength: Bench press of 435 pounds, ranking second all-time in UMass history.
NFL draft projection: Sixth or seventh round as a DT
Quotable: "With strength like that, they will probably make a nose tackle out of him in the NFL." — Gil Brandt, NFL.com

No one celebrates at another's death, but upon some passings it is well and proper to note the evils they perpetrated during their lives and the passing of Helen Thomas presents us with an opportunity to reflect upon the hateful, disgusting, perverted life this woman led. It is instructive to note upon her passing that she presents a great negative example of how a human being should live a life.
Many on the extreme left (by that we mean all "journalists") today are celebrating Helen Thomas' life. Granted she achieved quite a lot for a woman in the 50s and 60s becoming a prolific White House journalist. It was quite a feat to break into that "man's world" of the day.
But succeeding in one area does not erase the hate she evinced during that rise. She was always, always a reliable hater of the Joooos, for sure. She was also a reflexive, unfair, and unthinking hater of everything right of the Stalinist left and used her high perch in the world of journalism to attack every Republican she could.
Naturally her pals in the Old Media establishment are using the mild descriptive "controversial" to describe this odious woman, but let's just run down some of Thomas' greatest hits, shall we?
Helen Thomas was such a hatemongering ignoramus that she made my number one spot in the Ton Ten Most Left-Biased Journalists.
In that piece I reported some of Thomas' past calumnies. For instance:
I have many, many more example there.
Back in 2007 she said that you bloggers are "dangerous" because you dare to have an opinion that opposes hers.
In 2009 Thomas fully admitted her bias by saying that all "reporters" should be liberals.
In 2010 Thomas regurgitated some of her hatred for the Jews by wishing that all Jews would go back to Hitler's Germany.
By the end of her career she turned into such a scummy hater that an award named after Thomas had to be canceled. In December of 2010 the "Helen Thomas Spirit of Diversity Award" was dumped over her anti-Jew, pro-terrorism comments.
The fact is, no one should miss this woman. She has left a black mark on the entire field of journalism that lasted decades.

The UT Pan American alumni, who recently graduated from the Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), were the fourth cohort of alumni to complete the PHC and receive their Doctor of Medicine degrees.
|Pictured from left to right (front row) are: Dr. Lloyd H. Michael, senior professor and associate dean, BCM Office of Admissions; Nellie Gonzalez, UTPA Houston Alumni Chapter representative; Samson Cantu, BCM graduate; Cristina Garza, UTPA Houston Alumni chapter representative; Dr. Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, president and chief executive officer of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation; Yvette Almendarez, BCM graduate; Cecilia Sanchez, BCM graduate; Candi Roxas, executive director of UTPA's Development Office; Ann Minnis, UTPA Development Office representative; and Dr. Graciela Villarreal, assistant dean for the Office of Admissions at BCM. Pictured from left to right (back row) are: Kris Galvan, BCM graduate; Andres Splenser, BCM graduate; Peter G. Traber, BCM president and CEO; Jose Lares, BCM graduate; Jorge Cavazos, BCM graduate; Xavier Garcia-Rojas, BCM graduate; Chalam Mulukutla, BCM graduate; Dr. James Phillips, senior associate dean of medical education at BCM.
UTPA alumni receiving diplomas from BCM represented six percent of the graduating class this semester.
The candidates for the Doctor of Medicine degrees and their chosen specialty areas are: Yvette Maria Almendarez, pediatrics; Samson Cantu, pediatrics; Jorge Miguel Cavazos, internal medicine; Kristofer Isamu Galvan, internal medicine; Xavier Garcia-Rojas, diagnostic radiology; David Lee Jimenez, pediatrics; Jose Emanuel Lares, internal medicine; Venkatachalam Mulukutla, internal medicine/pediatrics; Cecilia Raquel Sanchez, ophthalmology; and Andres Efrain Splenser, anesthesiology.
Almendarez, a 26-year-old UTPA alumna and recent BCM graduate, plans to stay in Houston for a three-year residency at Baylor in pediatrics and work at Texas Children's Hospital and Ben Taub County Hospital.
She said participating in the UTPA-Baylor Premedical Honors College program was a wonderful experience.
"The program paved the path for me to become a doctor," Almendarez said. "I had great preparation at UTPA and was able to form a close bond to many of my classmates. We all continued our friendship at Baylor and were always there to help each other out."
Not only did she meet many lifelong friends through the program, but she also met her husband, Cavazos, when they were both freshmen at UTPA. They married nearly one year ago while in medical school.
Almendarez credits her successes to opportunities available to her while at UT Pan American, as well as the faculty and staff in the PHC program.
"The Premedical Honors College also gave me opportunities to attend summer programs during my years at UTPA which were great experiences before coming to medical school. If you know you want to become a doctor, this is an excellent opportunity that you must not pass up. UTPA is a great school and Baylor is one of the best medical schools in the country," she said. "The scholarship is also a great incentive."
Originally from Corpus Christi, Almendarez is planning to eventually practice in Corpus Christi, Laredo or the Rio Grande Valley.
Sanchez, a UTPA alumna who recently graduated from BCM at 25, will be completing an internship year at The University of Texas at Houston and will later complete a three-year residency program in ophthalmology at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee.
Sanchez said she is grateful for the opportunities available to her while at UT Pan American through the PHC program.
"We were given many opportunities to participate in summer research programs and preceptorships, which were very valuable experiences," she said. "I also formed a very strong support network with other students in the program and we continued to help each other."
Sanchez said she was grateful for the other students in the program who served as a support group since they enrolled in many of the same classes together.
"We helped each other out, studied together, explained things to each other and had fun together," she said. "It was really special to have a group of friends that knew and understood exactly what I was going through – stress, studying, time management and sometimes sacrificing having fun so I could study more. My fondest memories are of living in the dorms and spending time at the cafeteria, science building, and Student Union with my friends, who I am still very close with after eight years."
UTPA alum and recent BCM graduate, Mulukutla, who is originally from Corpus Christi, will be starting a four-year combined residency in internal medicine and pediatrics at BCM after graduation. In the future, he said he hopes to pursue a fellowship in cardiology and his interest in international health.
After his residency, Mulukutla said he is contemplating coming back to the Valley to fill the need for physicians in the area.
"I have family who lives in the Valley, and it (moving back) will be something I will strongly consider," he said. "It is very important that there is an increase in the number of physicians in South Texas to help serve the increasing population. Furthermore, the Valley has suffered from lower patient to physician ratios compared to other areas of the country for quite some time and that needs to change."
Mulukutla said the PHC program has been extremely beneficial to him and allowed him to achieve his dream of becoming a doctor.
"I have been challenged educationally, and because of the program, I have been able to open doors that would have otherwise been closed," he said. "It has decreased the financial burden on my family and me by providing a full-tuition scholarship for eight years. The eight-year program has been rigorous, but it has been just as rewarding. The PHC program has given me a great education and allowed me to fulfill my goal of becoming a physician."
Dr. Cindy Wedig, program coordinator for the PHC at UTPA, said the PHC was established in 1994 as a partnership between UTPA and Baylor to increase the number of physicians practicing in the medically underserved South Texas region. The program has produced 30 physicians and one doctor of optometry to date.
Students begin the eight-year long program as entering freshmen at UTPA and are offered conditional acceptance to BCM upon completion of undergraduate requirements at UTPA. Currently there are approximately 135 students in the pipeline between UTPA freshmen students to third-year residents, Wedig said.
The PHC provides students with rigorous academic preparation for medical school, as well as summer clinical, enrichment and research programs and experiences to improve preparation for medical school. Program participants receive an eight-year tuition and fees scholarship, which covers undergraduate and medical education.
The conditional acceptance requires students to maintain a 3.2 minimum overall GPA (on a 4.0 scale), and a 3.0 minimum science GPA, and to score a minimum of 26 on the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) with no section less than seven.
The complete application includes: (1) an application to UTPA, (2) a separate premedical application involving four essay questions and information concerning high school honors, awards and extracurricular activities, (3) complete high school transcripts including SAT scores (ACT scores will not be accepted as a substitute), (4) information regarding coursework completed and in progress during a student's senior year, (5) completion of demographic information sheet which will be separated from the application when it is received, and (6) three letters of recommendation. PHC program applicants must also undergo a competitive interview process.
Wedig said the program at UTPA gives students excellent training for medical school in a familiar environment.
"The students who matriculate to Baylor from UTPA feel that they are as prepared as Harvard graduates and students entering medical school from other nationally reputable universities," she said. "Having students attend an undergraduate institution that is socially and culturally familiar is important in their success, as well as being in an environment where they are close to home and family support systems."
For more information about the PHC, contact Wedig at 956/316-7025.

I'll Take The Tear
Don't speak, seal your lips.
Please don't say a word, maybe I won't remember the words I have not heard.
I see that you're in love, I know it's not with me.
But I don't want the truth to haunt my memory.
It's never too late to relight the fire
It's never stopped burning for me.
The flame, it never died inside of me.
How is it now that I can tell you I love you
How is it only now that it's too late.
What can I do?
The love that we had is torn in two.
So you take the smiles from all of our years.
I'll take the tears.
I sit and reminisce of times that we once shared.
You gave me more than love. but never thought I cared.
My feelings were all for you.
Although it didn't show.
I only told you on the day you let me to go.
Now I realize that you're no longer mine.
But I'm hoping that the pain will ease in time.
Although you're leaving, I won't say goodbye.
Because I know you're here with me inside.
[chorus: repeat till end]
Read more lyrics about / on: torn, memory, truth, fire, remember, love, hope, leave, gone, dying

I know a lot of us use applications like BeBuzz to notify us of specific app notifications with fancy colors and toasts. Others prefer to stick with the basic blinking red light. If none of these options suit your taste, the folks over at PingDev Ltd have a solution. Light Up will turn on your backlight of your home screen with each new notification.
The following applications are currently compatible with Light Up:
Light Up allows you to select an active/inactive option for those times when you may not want anyone just passing by to see what's on your screen when that new message comes in. You can also customize which notification types light up your screen, duration and level of brightness. Light Up is available via BlackBerry App World for $1.99 on most devices running OS 4.6.1 or higher.

bebuzz does this with toasts

Bebuzz is one of the reasons why I still use a blackberry.. It is a great addition to blackberry period! I like the privacy of a simple light blinking than my whole phone lighting up and everyone can see what's going on with your phone.. Just my two cents!

so true, No need for my screen to light up like that otherwise I'd just get another phone.

The Tonawanda News
— Often lost in the quagmire that is the Empire State's current state of affairs is what a rich history our home has.
New York has been settled for nearly half a millennium — by Europeans, at least — and has either given birth or refuge to a good number of our nation's greatest people. Around 100 of those people are highlighted in "Remarkable Women in New York State History," a book whose title literally needs no further explanation.
The book is a collection of vignettes written by members of the American Association of University Women in New York State, Helen Engel and Marilynn Smiley, who did a good job of trying to maintain a narrative while keeping the book informative.
But the format inherently prohibits a natural flow, and a menagerie of stories allows for egregious sins such as Muriel Jodst Allerton (a former mayor of Fulton) getting more ink than Susan B. Anthony and Lucille Ball combined. And far too many of the entrants didn't have their actual birth years listed, simply a 19?? to indicate they either forgot to ask or opted not to.
All in all, though, the book is a worthwhile read. The entries are listed alphabetically and truly do cover every location and era of the state. Covered are everyone from residents of the White House (Eleanor Roosevelt) to the sick house (Clara Barton) and the Erie County Courthouse (Joan Bozer, former county legislator).
Far more of the names will probably be unfamiliar to readers, but that's where the book is at its best. Most readers have already heard of Harriet Tubman, which may be why the write-ups of her and other prominent names seem like poorly constructed Wikipedia pages.
Far more informative are narratives on relative unknowns like Martha Van Rensselaer, the Cattaraugus County native who became a presidential adviser to Herbert Hoover.
She's not with us anymore, but many of the entrants are. And while some of them were interviewed for this book, it might have been better served with some accompanying quotes or interview excerpts to take away from the encyclopedic feel of the book that can become overwhelming at over more than 300 pages.
A book of this format, despite the previously mentioned deficiencies, does come with its advantages. Achieving expert status on the history of so many women would be nearly impossible. Spreading the writing duties around allows for more insight into the women, most of who were written about by local historian near where those women live or lived. This allows for a hometown sort of glimpse into these lives that's often lacking when a work is written by one author.
This book is not great. But it's good. And it's a worthwhile addition to the libraries of people who have an interest in the past of this great state.

ADM Incentives Vote On Hold
By Associated Press
The sponsor of a bill to give Archer Daniels Midland Company up to $24 million in tax breaks to keep its headquarters in Illinois opted not to call it for a vote Tuesday.
The House Revenue and Finance Committee had been scheduled to consider the bill. But Rep. John Bradley, a Democrat from Marion, took it off the agenda.
Bradley says the incentives for ADM and several other companies ``are all under consideration.'' He declines to say when or if the bill will get a vote.
In an email, an ADM spokesman says the company is still in discussions with officials and has no update.
ADM announced last month it plans to move its global headquarters from Decatur to a location with better international access.
