I'd throw Scott up against any coach in the league. We ran a collegiate-style program, and shaped rookies the right way. It was fun to be a part of that.Ron Adams on Scott Skiles. Developing rookies, really?
Coach Skiles said the following about Malik Allen "He's a very reliable player. He's always going to be in the right place and (he) knows what he is doing. He executes the game plan and makes open shots." Now, if you look at the chart above, the record clearly shows that Allen is not that reliable (if your game plan involves having your big men rebound) and he certainly does not make open shots (his adjusted FG% is well below the average).Bucks Diary learning the darker side of a Scott Skiles regime.

More often than not, a new coach will try to surround himself with his "own'' coaches, ones they have worked with before. That is apparently what Skiles will do. Skiles also had previous head coaching stints with the Phoenix Suns and Chicago Bulls. "He's a good coach; I have the utmost respect for Scott,'' James said. "He told me this is the first opportunity where he's been a head coach where he could bring in his own staff. "So it's disappointing, but I understand the situation.''

Here are some of the Packers' fantasy football options this week:
QB Aaron Rodgers continues playing at an elite level and is on pace to throw 48 TD passes. He's clearly the best fantasy player in the game.
As the weather gets cold, don't be surprised to see the Packers give RB James Starks more opportunities. He's also becoming the primary back in the time-share with Ryan Grant. Starks is a flex-play.
In the past five games, WRs Greg Jennings and James Jones both have four TD receptions and Jordy Nelson has three TD catches. Even Jones is a fantasy play in larger leagues.
TE Jermichael Finley has two consecutive weeks with a TD but he has been held scoreless in five of the first eight games. Those are underwhelming numbers based on expectations but he's still a No. 1 tight end.
The Packers' defense had a monster game last week with three interceptions and two TDs, busting many fantasy matchups open. They have another great matchup this week against rookie QB Christian Ponder.

Covered: Michel Dion
This is the 1982-83 Pittsburgh Penguins press guide. It features several action shots of goaltender Michel Dion on the cover.
When you mention the name Michel Dion, I instantly think of his unique mask.
Not too many goalies used this style of mask. Mike Liut had a similar one, although not identical. The "duck bill" was wider.
This game worn mask, painted by Jim Kwilos, was sold at auction for over $6500!
Dion played for five years in the World Hockey Association with the Indianapolis Racers and the Cincinnati Stingers. He also played with the Quebec Nordiques and Winnipeg Jets in the NHL, but he is best remembered by NHL fans for his four years with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Here's the full Michel Dion biography

|slang an important person
|Main Entry:
|big cheese
|Part of Speech:
|a very important or influential person, esp. the head of an organization; also called big wheel
big cheese
Also, big shot or gun or wheel or enchilada. An important, powerful person; the boss. For example, She loved being the big cheese of her company; the big guns in Congress are bound to change the President's bill; you'd better not act like a big shot among your old friends; Harry was the big wheel in his class; and You'll have to get permission from the big enchilada. The first term dates from the late 1800s and its origin is disputed. Some think it comes from the Urdu word chiz or cheez for "thing," but others hold it plays on the English word "chief." Big gun is much older, dating from the early 1800s; big shot became very popular in the late 1920s, particularly when used for underworld leaders of gangsters; big wheel dates from about the same period. Big enchilada, often put as the big enchilada, is the newest, dating from the early 1970s.

The Royal Academy of Engineering's President's Medal
The Royal Academy of Engineering is to award its prestigious President's Medal to Sir David Davies CBE FREng FRS for his consistent positioning of engineering at the highest levels in the UK throughout his distinguished career.Sir David is one of the most influential engineers of his generation. Formerly Chief Scientific Advisor to the MoD, he has advised government on some of the most sensitive political and defence issues in modern times. He also served as non-executive chairman of the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA) from 1998-2000.He is probably best known for his report to the Deputy Prime Minister on the options available to improve the safety of rail travel in the wake of the Ladbroke Grove train crash in October 1999 which killed 31 people and injured many more. His reasoned, technically robust report published in February 2000 provided a voice of calm in the clamour for immediate action. His evaluation of available safety systems and subsequent recommendations were endorsed by the ensuing Public Inquiries and he was later asked to become Chairman of Railway Safety, a new company set up to promote and oversee rail safety issues.Sir David has also made significant technical contributions to the development of radar and communications and to higher education policy during his tenure as Professor of Electrical Engineering at UCL. He also served as Vice-Chancellor of Loughborough University (1988-1994), renowned for its engineering focus.His own research work in antenna arrays, radar, signal processing and optical fibre is highly regarded - he won the Rank Prize for optoelectronics in 1984 and the Institution of Electrical Engineers' Faraday Medal in 1987. He was elected to the Academy in 1979 and to the Royal Society in 1984, and was awarded a CBE in 1996. He was President of the IEE in 1994/5 and has served on the committees of many national bodies, including the BBC Engineering Advisory Committee and the Royal Society's Science Inquiry Committee. Sir David was President of The Royal Academy of Engineering from 1996-2001.Sir David's career continues at the highest levels: he is currently a non-executive director of the ERA Foundation, Chairman of the Hazard's Forum and safety advisor to the Board of National Grid plc.Sir David will be presented with his Medal at The Royal Academy of Engineering Awards Dinner on 05 June in London.

I've found a way to track some on the country's best projects without ever leaving my office. I saw the EarthCam product offering at World of Concrete. It's an impressive tool to help track and monitor plant and job conditions.
I can think of several ways this tool could help increase producer delivery efficiencies. By watching live feeds from job sites, dispatchers can:
But now there's a new offering. Last month EarthCam launched its new ConstructionCamTV – a 24-hour "TV channel" devoted to a global network of live construction cameras and educational time-lapse movies.
I've been able to watch progress on projects including leading medical centers, major league stadiums, sophisticated skyscrapers, and complex bridges from all over the world. Just imagine watching not only your work, but your competitor's as well!
According to its press release, EarthCam's leadership wants "ConstructionCamTV to become the 'reality television' of the building industry. "We've created video wallpaper that connects people around the world to some of the most amazing jobsites. They can explore and learn about the extraordinary efforts being made today by contractors, developers, engineers, and architects," writes Brian Cury, Earthcam's CEO and Founder.
ConstructionCamTV is proactively programmed by EarthCam's broadcast directors, who will change the scheduled lineup every 5 to 15 minutes in order to feature breaking news stories or special events around the world. Local time and detailed weather information is displayed for each jobsite. In addition, a running ticker on the bottom of the screen gives the viewer interesting information about the construction project they're currently watching. Turn up the volume to hear the audio from the camera stream or thematic background music. All of these features are customizable using a graphical display and can be set based on user preference, further enhancing a full widescreen viewing experience.
As with all this new technology, there are some worrisome concerns. Your company's exposure is greater than ever before. Thousands of people can be watching your employees work. Proper clean-out procedures are now priority regardless of where the truck is act.
And if you think you must only worry about job site watching, take a look at the new item posted by a Texas television station. The driver of a car hit by a tipped ready-mixed concrete truck had his dash camera on and recorded the whole accident.
I'm curious how you think this emerging way of video exposure will affect your business. So I've put together a brief survey on the topic. I hope you participate.

One Tebow-ism goes "Superman wears Tim Tebow pajamas."
The sayings, which have even warranted their own Internet Web site started by devoted fans, demonstrate the incredible status that the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback built while at the University of Florida.
Yes, it is possible that maybe even the Man of Steel looks up to Tebow.
Tebow began his keynote speaking engagement for the Big Atlantic Classic Tip-Off Banquet Sunday, however, by citing a newfound hero of his.
A local guy.
Jim Justice.
"I hope that one day later on my career in about 20 or 30 years, I can leave the same type of impact that Mr. Justice has left with you all," said Tebow. "Because I don't usually judge somebody as much by meeting them in person. I judge them by looking at the people that he or she has impacted with their lives. By meeting literally hundreds of people already today, and seeing the kind of impact that Mr. Justice has had on this community, I think 'Wow, that's a challenge to me.' I want to live up to that.
"I'd like to be able to hear people say 'Good job, you impacted my life. Thank you so much.'"
A large crowd attended the tip-off event for this week's Big Atlantic Classic basketball tournament, held at the Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center.
Tebow is now embarking on a professional football career. He has hopes of being selected in the NFL draft this April. In preparation for it, he played in the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., on Saturday before flying to Beckley for the event a day later.
"It's been a whirlwind this week," Tebow admitted. "I went through a lot of scrutiny there.
"I think I even heard some pro coaches critiquing me and saying 'I don't think he ties his shoelaces fast enough,' and 'His hair is always gelled,'" Tebow joked. "But it's exciting for me. It's an opportunity for me to reach my dream of playing in the NFL.

The Role of Businesses in High School
A panel discussed the topic at the U.S. News Education Summit.
The relationships between businesses and schools have grown in significance in recent years. At U.S. News's first education summit, sponsored by Intel and held in October at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., Editor Brian Kelly led a panel discussion on the topic.
The following are excerpts from that conversation.
Why does a large corporation decide to put so much energy in education?
WILL SWOPE, corporate vice president and general manager of Intel's corporate affairs division: It is the cornerstone of our philanthropic work, and we have done education since we started. There is no question, right, part of it is absolutely self-serving. If a strong math and science training makes it easier for us to do the kind of incredibly complicated research that we do, we can't move forward in our technology without very deep fundamental understanding of the kind of technologies and fundamental raw physics that drives this kind of capability. Over and above that, we believe it's fundamental to move the Earth forward. The kind of issues that we face on the planet are such that we think those require very strong math and science orientation going forward.
We spend more than $100 million a year in our philanthropic work, the vast preponderance of that on education—and we have for the last decade. So, we train teachers around the world; professional development for teachers is probably more accurate. And that's an extensive series of programs that grew all around the term Intel Teach. We do software for after school for Intel Learn, for clubhouses that we have developed. We do science and mathematics software for schools, which is called "Skoool." We work with schools of distinction. We do work to try to honor schools around the world that are good at this and, of course, the two huge programs that we run in both Intel science fairs, which are a worldwide basis. You know, we have—I'm pretty sure today that we have about 20 million children around the world competing in those fairs to get to the top 1,500. And then, within the United States, we do the science talent search, which is a few thousand students right now.
Does the increasing role of business undermine local school board control?
ANNE BRYANT, president of the National School Boards Association, representing 15,000 school districts across the country: Absolutely not. In fact, we have something called the Key Work of School Boards, which is an eight-part framework that lays out what is the board's governance role. And one of the eight parts is collaboration and connection with the community and working with businesses. Wisconsin and Georgia have invested lots of money into apprenticeship programs. Well, what [is] the value of those programs? And this is research based: Attendance goes—skyrockets—up; dropout declines dramatically. The connection: What we have to understand about dropout is, yes, sometimes it's about economics, but a lot of it, relevance; students don't feel that their work and their academic life is relevant, so they drop out.
So, any of these partnership programs where it's—whether it's a career or tech program, and the old voc tech is gone—I've got to tell you, the career academies, the career technical programs now going on in schools today [are] light-years beyond what we used to think of as voc ed. So, I think the school board's role is to make those connections, and it can't be short term.
Is the role of business a mixed blessing?
GENO FLORES, chief academic officer of the Prince George's County (Maryland) school system: No, I think they are a welcome blessing, and they should take an interest in public education and education of all of the youth in America. As stated earlier, it's not just for benefiting our population, but the world's population, helping children understand the application of the concepts that they should be learning about and delving into much deeper in everyday education. The other important part that business can play and corporations can play is really being the venue for getting students excited about how I use this knowledge. We all at some point joked about, when am I ever going to use A squared plus B squared equals C squared? When am I ever going to do that? And after I pass that test, do I get to put it on the shelf and say I'm not going to apply that any longer?

Jordan Michael Evans posted bond on Wednesday
Original story:
Police are searching for Jordan Michael Evans, a skateboarder with a history of arrests in Washington and California, for assault, drug crimes, and misdemeanors. On June 9 at about 2:45 a.m., police say Evans and two other men jumped a Seattle man in the Capitol Hill area.
During the attack, police say Evans punched the victim repeatedly. Then, while the victim was unconscious, Evans allegedly kicked him in the head. One of the other suspects allegedly hit the victim in the head with a skateboard.
Evans is a black male, 24 years old, with tattoos up and down his arms, and one that says "skate and destroy" on the left side of his shaved head. He is known to frequent clubs in Capitol Hill and Belltown, and has been thrown out of several.
There is a warrant out for his arrest on suspicion of Assault II, and his bail has been set at $100,00. If you see him, call Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound at 1-800-222-TIPS.

The Meyersdale-area man accused of killing his girlfriend and burying her body near a hiking trail is behind bars in Somerset County.
Jonathan Beal, 23, was placed in Somerset County Jail on Saturday after being returned to Somerset, where he is charged with homicide, abuse of a corpse and aggravated assault in the death of 19-year-old Justine Jackson.
Beal was arraigned on his charges during the weekend, with no bail set because he is charged with criminal homicide.
Beal faces a Nov. 26 preliminary hearing before District Judge Douglas Bell.
Jackson had been living in the Meyersdale area and was reported missing in late October, police said.
Jackson's body was found by a hiker Nov. 11 alongside the Great Allegheny Passage hiking trail.
Investigators say Beal strangled her to death and then left her in a shallow grave.
U.S. marshals and other authorities in Louisiana found Beal hiding in a home's bathroom on Wednesday, and he was taken into custody without incident.
It is unknown whether Beal has hired an attorney.

Description: French fries (American English), chips, or fries are deep-fried strips of potato. North Americans tend to refer to any pieces of deep-fried potatoes as fries or French fries, while in the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand, long, thinly cut slices of deep-fried potatoes (especially from fast-food outlets) are often called fries to distinguish them from chips (which are traditionally fatter and less elongated).[4] French fries are known as frites, patates frites or pommes frites in French, a name which is also used in many non-French-speaking areas, while others may have names that mean "fried potatoes" or "French potatoes". "Steak-frites" is widely considered the most typical French national meal, as are a "burger and fries" in America, and frites on their own are a Belgian culinary specialty.

Daydream believer
Despite the odds, George Lyles maintains his inner-city eatery with fresh food and homespun recipes
Published: March 23, 2011
A man walks into the Turkey Grill on Woodward Avenue in Detroit on a cold afternoon. He's old, with gray whiskers and a black cap. It's obvious most of his time is spent on the street.
He quickly finds his first target.
"Can you help me out with something to eat?" he says to a bundled older woman waiting in line for her carry-out order.
"What?" she replies, incredulously. She's clearly not used to a panhandler with the nerve to come inside a restaurant to beg. "No," the woman says.
So the man sits down in one of the empty booths, a mere few feet from her, and starts mumbling to himself. They're the mutterings of a disturbed man, the private language spoken by street people all over the city.
Food takes time to cook here because everything is prepared fresh, and now everyone in line has to stand there awkwardly as the man continues talking under his breath and staring at them.
Another customer comes in, this time a middle-aged man, and waits his turn. The panhandler asks him the same question and gets the same answer. "Think it over," the mumbler presses. But no free meal is coming from anyone here today, and he finally leaves.
This moment of freedom for these customers is fleeting. Another vagrant comes in, much younger this time, and announces to the room, "I'm trying to buy something to eat. I'm walking around trying to survive." But in this neighborhood, most people are trying to survive. He gets no sympathy and sulks out the door.
Panhandlers beg for money outside the doors of many Detroit places. It's the nature of life in a city where a whole lot of poor people live. For whatever reason, though, some of them like to work their hustle right in the Turkey Grill's lobby, much to the owner's quiet dismay.
"They're basically harmless," says George Lyles, the mild-mannered 58-year-old founder of the restaurant. "They don't really bother anybody, but it's just more or less the principle of when you're trying to enjoy yourself, go out grab a meal or grab a snack and then you got someone running around begging you for money, it's kind of annoying. We just kind of gently tell them to leave."
Owning a business in Detroit brings challenges that aren't as common outside the city limits. Burglaries. Erratic city services. A customer base without much money to spend. And those days when someone from the street winds up inside your door, chipping away at your livelihood. Lyles has had 15 years of such challenges here. Yet he's stayed. All because of a belief he won't let go of.
Few things are as risky or scary as quitting a solid career to chase a dream. Lyles was a successful accountant when he first got the idea of opening his own restaurant. He and his friends would complain they couldn't find worthy lunch options near their office downtown, and would daydream aloud what they'd do if they had their own restaurant, how it would be decorated, what kind of food they'd serve.
But Lyles never let go of the idea. He eventually worked up the courage to quit his career, found an available building in the city's North End neighborhood, and opened the Turkey Grill in 1996. "It took a lot of guts and a lot of money," he says. "But here we are."
The real thrill of having your own restaurant is serving whatever you like and hoping others like it too. Lyles reached back into his childhood in the Deep South for the country foods he grew up with and gambled they'd sell in inner-city Detroit.
He went to South Carolina to get a recipe for fried turkey wings. In New Orleans he learned how to make turkey neck stew, with a whole turkey neck immersed in its thick rice and vegetable mix. He brought back a beans-and-rice recipe from Beale Street in Memphis, found a way to make turkey salad in south Mississippi, and in Texas he discovered how to smoke an already-fried turkey. "I said, 'How you gonna fry a turkey and it's smoked too?' But I got their recipe so I'm able to do it now."
You can get turkey meat into almost any dish, it turns out. So the Turkey Grill offers a Mexican turkey pita roll, a turkey pastrami sandwich, turkey sausage and turkey bacon for breakfast, turkey chili, turkey soup, turkey burgers and turkey meatloaf.
The dining area is small, decorated with drawings and paintings from New Orleans and Memphis. The seating is hard plastic cafeteria booths. Bulletproof glass separates the public from the smoky kitchen at the back.
Lyles toiled to get established his first year here. His sister worked the kitchen, he worked the books. Days were 14 hours long.
�"You're everything," he says. "You're the bookkeeper, you're the janitor, you're the inventory person, and it's much more of a responsibility than working for someone else."
He promoted the Turkey Grill through glossy flyers, through menus left around town, through funny TV commercials on WYMD-20 featuring a cartoon turkey interacting with a toddler. It took time, but soon a following developed for his unique menu.
"I wasn't making any money but I was kind of determined to do it," he says, standing in the kitchen next to an old blackened stove. "Maybe one day it might be slow, the next day we'd have a heavy sales volume, and that kind of encouraged me."
There are lines at the counter just about all day, every day. The meals are cheap and country cooking has always been popular in the city. And every year, Thanksgiving brings orders for 600 whole fried turkeys.
But Lyles knows that a few miles away there are restaurants whose customers have more money than his do, places that don't need bulletproof glass at the counter or don't have the homeless hounding their patrons.
"I do find challenges in that we have a lot of people as you know that kind of walk the street around here, people that they let out of the mental institutions during the day, or the health care homes, and they're walking the street. And sometimes it becomes annoying to my customers."

It's been a complicated game of musical chairs for many school sports teams across the state. Last week, many school districts rescheduled nighttime games played outdoors, setting earlier start times and pushing several games to the weekends, following an advisory from the Rhode Island Department of Health (DOH).
DOH urged towns and schools to practice "smart scheduling" after several pools of mosquitoes across the state tested positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) and/or West Nile Virus. Games and practices have now been scheduled to avoid the early morning or dusk – when mosquitoes are most active.
To help teams displaced by the scheduling, a new business in town is offering up its space for free. Wide World of Indoor Sports just opened its second location in Quonset Business Park (behind the former Lowe's building) in North Kingstown this week and is scheduled to hold its grand opening Oct. 3. The facility is offering up its four, non-boarded fields to local sports teams in need of practice space.
"We're new down here," said Jim "JR" Rodrigues, general manager at Wide World of Indoor Sports. "We want to be part of the community. Everyone's going to be giving to us, we have to give back somehow."
Wide World of Indoor Sports offers adult leagues, youth leagues, youth classes, camps tournaments and parties. The facility offers sports including soccer, flag football, field hockey, lacrosse, softball, volleyball, wiffleball and more. Learn more here.

The Oskaloosa Herald
---- — OSKALOOSA — Esther Kepenaar donned a red apron and grabbed a bell to ring for the Salvation Army Wednesday afternoon — something she has done for more than 20 years.
Kepenaar, 96, is a big supporter of the Salvation Army and is the oldest bell ringer in the pool of volunteers who has rang a bell for donations.
Kepenaar rang the bell at Hy-Vee for an hour Wednesday. It was her first time to ring bells this holiday season.
"I wanted to do more, but they gave me one hour," she said. "I generally do it in the morning, but they gave me time in the afternoon today."
"We couldn't just let her stay home," Jerry Morrison of the Salvation Army joked.
Kepenaar said she often sees familiar faces when she is bell ringing.
"I know a lot of people," she said. "I like to talk.
"I like people. I like to talk to them if I know them or not," she said.
Kepenaar said she enjoys her time bell ringing.
"I feel good," she said. "No pains."
"It ain't bad today," she said. "It may rain tomorrow."

Maura Pennington, Contributor
I write about my lost generation & liberty.
A trip to the Barack Obama campaign website is an edifying experience for a literate person not enamored of retro-stylized propaganda or giant red buttons beckoning visitors to "share" and "like." Scrolling underneath the doomsday clock counting down to the announcement of the lucky winner of a dinner with Mr. President is a slideshow of his accomplishments called "Keeping His Word." This would seem to be a section of substance, but it is based on the social media model of easily digestible fragments of thought accompanied by videos for the reading-averse.
The strangest aspect is the tone. Mitt Romney's equally inane site tries for folksy and casual—his win-a-date sweepstakes is just to "grab a bite" rather than sit down to a formal and stuffy affair with a one-percenter—yet the Obama campaign takes on the voice of a sorority president, flippant and friendly, yet stern and motherly enough to get things done. An example of this is the blog entry publicizing Vice President Biden's involvement: "Let's welcome Joe to the campaign trail and send him a note of encouragement—we'll make sure he sees them on the way to the first event." Next order of business, selling those cute Marc Jacobs designer Vote Obama t-shirts.
Getting pumped up for a campaign isn't a crime but the philosophy espoused by many of Obama's supporters is dangerous to the dearly bought preservation of free will. One of them is featured on the site as saying: Obama "is giving people that sense of pride—that 'we can do this, we can do whatever we want to do.'" Apparently we have reached the point in our self-atrophy where we need a president to give us a sense of pride in our collective efforts. One of the executive powers is not to be cheerleader-in-chief, yet the Obama campaign thinks this is a reason to reelect him.
Another supporter is quoted: "I plan on joining the Army and going into basic training, where I know I have the support of the President and the First Lady." It is commendable to serve the country in the Armed Forces and those who do so deserve our gratitude, but something is missing in this statement. It lacks the explanation of how the President and First Lady became synonymous with Dad and Mom. Of course our military needs support from the person meeting with the Joint Chiefs, but if his spouse is involved, it sounds like it has less to do with military strategy than with the most prominent couple in the land giving a parental nod of approval.
Freudian analysis could continue with another supporter's delusion: "As a young woman, I want my President to want me to succeed—as much as he wants my sister, my friends and his own daughters to succeed." We want our parents to want us to succeed because it is proof that they love, cherish, and respect us (just as much as our sisters and friends!), even though seeking that validation comes with enormous pressure and the infinite possibility of failure, disappointment, shattered dreams, and family feuds. All young people are beholden to their parents in this way, but no one is beholden to the man who wins the electoral vote every four years. In fact, he is beholden to us. It's our validation that he seeks.
Only a stalker desires the approval of a public figure she will never meet. Yet, this insecure young woman wants "her President" to care as much about her as "his own daughters." I can't imagine a parent who would take on the responsibility of a nation of foster children, yet Obama, through his campaign engineers at least, welcomes it. He'll be clapping for us when we all achieve our ambitions or at least receive our participation trophies.
The site doesn't just feature the words of voters in projecting our current executive as our father, friend, and fan. It also features passages that were written by employees or, more likely, unpaid volunteers. It would be safe to assume that the campaign has poached some highly educated young talent for their efforts, but whoever created this monster of mixed metaphors is not among them: "President Obama believes that America is strongest when everybody has a seat at the table. He's expanded opportunity for every American by taking steps to level the playing field so everybody plays by the same rules."
Literal vacuity of that sentence aside, its intended message, like the parental mentality, is perilously applied. My fellow women have been the most recently vocal about the leveling of fields and standardization of rulebooks. Obama's campaign site notes that his health care law makes it such that "being a woman is no longer considered a pre-existing condition." (Clever, considering all pre-existing conditions are no longer considered pre-existing conditions.)
Though the statement is meant by that sorority president narrator to make us smirk defiantly, it does nothing but contradict the rest of the progressive platform of women's issues. The truth is, liberals do think there is something about women necessitating special dispensations and regulations. Their entire agenda is founded on the premise that women need extra protection. So much protection in fact, it's almost as if we were a weaker sex.
In this vein, the blog features an attack on Mitt Romney's promise to defund Planned Parenthood, the marketing fiasco we are supposed to care about because, unlike all the other federally funded health organizations, it has the word "parent" in its name. With the link to Romney's comments, the campaign website says to "please pass this on to anyone you know with a stake in this. (That should be everyone you know.)" It might have been the same mixed-metaphor writer at work with that one. I don't think he really meant to add that the only people an Obama supporter knows or should know are people who value the same things they do.
Obama is America's Community Organizer.
I'm not sure where the "vitriol and spite" is on that website, but I didn't see it.
Obama's website is a lot of father-figure perspective, because he's pulling from the FDR style of "fire-side chats", where he appeared as this nice grandfather figure. It is marketing to families, just as the Romney campaign markets to business executives and santorum's campaign markets to Christians.
It's pretty good, since the democrats have been trying to maintain that government is not like running a business, but more like a family. You don't liquidate the assets of Mississippi because they've been a drain on the federal government for a decade. You can't declare chapter 11 and ask China to absolve us of our national debt. You don't buy a competing nation, take its assets and then dissolve it, and all its population, entirely.
People really have bought into this government=business, but it really doesn't follow through entirely and the democrats have picked up on that. It's like reading Ayn Rand, where brilliant people think, "YES! She's brilliant too!", and people who have experience dealing with screwed up families would think, "Yeah, I wonder what would happen to my retarded cousin bob, or my uncle on medicaid in the nursing home, or my son who got a federal loan for college, or my grandfather who paid for his entire family to eat on CCC wages.".
Maybe the dems aren't the smartest bunch of folks, but they see through a lot of bunk propaganda that some very smart people believe with a passion.
I'm not sure if "envy of the rich" is really what they're having a problem with. I think the disparity of the rich and poor becomes more and more evident and people don't like it. During the 1790′s, I don't think the French people needed to know exactly "why" a monarchy wasn't the best form of government, but they made their feelings about disparity pretty darn clear.
When you have a presidential candidate who admits to earning $53,000+ each day and paying a lower tax rate than a telemarketer, while millions of Americans remain unemployed, you can't blame people for being annoyed.
Fair, unfair, whatever that may be. When I make a business agreement, it is considered "fair", even if it is extremely in my own favor, as long as the person I'm dealing with feels he has gotten a fair deal. From a political standpoint, we need stability, which in our nation generally comes from people feeling like they've been treated fairly.
When someone buys a car for $10,000 after a day of negotiating, they feel pretty proud of themselves. When they see their neighbor walk out of the shop with the same car for $3,000 they get pretty angry. Suddenly, it seems unfair.
It isn't "envy", it is the feeling that some people in power are f$cking us on a daily basis. It is a natural impulse to gather in parks and squares, because we can't afford the meeting halls at the Hilton.
I love how you quote Tolstoy, and I hope you don't consider everything ever said by a Russian philosopher can be utterly discounted as evil because of what Stalin did to the soviet regime. What happened in the Soviet Union is what happens when you believe so strongly in an ideology that you are willing to force the ideology (not the programs, but the actual thought process) it upon people who are too stupid to know it is in their own best interest.
You being a fully emancipated human being is great for you. You're probably pretty smart, employed, have no dependents, grew up in the 'burbs and have never been in a position where you had to beg for food or housing. You are Ayn Rand's ideal follower.
Democrats haven't found any magical trick in the "bunk propaganda", but they haven't overlooked the glaring fact that all voting citizens are adults. Unfortunately, the republicans have overlooked that glaring fact that not all the people in this nation vote.
In 2010, we had a VEP of 217,342,419 with only a 41.0% turnout.
(http://elections.gmu.edu/Turnout_2010G.html) The census that year was 308,745,538 people. So 89,110,391 made the decision for everyone;about 29%
The remaining 70% are a wide group of people. Those people are the great majority. Those are the people that the democrats have to take into account that the republicans don't. The democrats are the "everyone else" party, that's all they've got.
The republicans want everyone to conform to their ideology, regardless of their ability to prove it or who it may hurt. It's one thing to enforce a tax or a health program tax, it's another thing to dismiss thousands of employees at Ford, forcing their kids out of schools, their homes into foreclosure, their families out of any kind of health insurance….and say, "It's for their own good…. you just don't see the big picture of how our economic theory works."
Be strong and proud, but remember, there's a lot of people in need and you can't just tell them to cash in their assets and declare chapter 11. It doen't come off as "fair"
Can you imagine an America where we are legally obligated to spend money on something "for our own good"
it's called the military.
you mean like medicare… I think we're mandated to pay for that too.
Bunch of commies.
Ms. Pennington,
Just want to let you know that I enjoy your articles. I really do wish people take the time to do their own research and learned from them so they can make their own opinion on the current administration. They are feeding them with fantasies and nothing but lies, especially Obama's campaign website. Have you seen his 15 minute campaign ad? Makes me sick. I hope someone will put together another 15 minute of the damage he has caused to this country.

These cupcakes are the perfect treat for birthdays and special occasions. They are gluten free, using a combination of coconut flour and sprouted quinoa flour (courtesy of To Your Health Sprouted Flour Co. Read my review/giveaway here). They are full of protein and fiber and have a wonderful moist texture. They are super filling, so one per person will probably be sufficient, if you're planning a party. These cupcakes are not overly sweet, which is the perfect combination with the frosting, which is rich and chocolaty, with a splash of citrus to liven it up. The key with these cupcakes is to not over bake them, or else they will end up dry and crumbly.
Gluten Free Chocolate Cupcakes
I have linked to the products from my affiliate partners that I personally use and recommend.
makes 18 cupcakes
5 pastured eggs
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
1/2 cup raw honey
1/4 tsp. granulated stevia
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup coconut flour
3/4 cup sprouted quinoa flour
1/3 cup organic cocoa
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. sea salt
A little extra melted coconut oil (for cupcake pans)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Melt a little coconut oil and brush the insides of your cupcake pans. If you're using cupcake papers, you can brush the insides of those to help keep them from sticking.
3. In a medium bowl, sift the coconut flour to make sure all lumps are removed.
4. Add the quinoa flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt to the coconut flour and stir until combined.
5. In your electric mixing bowl, combine the eggs, melted coconut oil, honey, and stevia and mix on low speed until combined.
6. Add the coconut milk and vanilla and combine.
7. With the mixer running on low, slowly add in the dry ingredients.
8. Mix on low until completely combined.
9. Fill cupcake papers or cupcake tins 3/4 full. Gently tap the pans on the counter to get the batter to settle evenly.
10. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Be very careful not to over bake.
11. Let cool completely before frosting (see following recipe).
Rich Chocolate Orange Frosting
Make approx. 1 1/2 cups
1/2 cup pastured butter, at room temperature
1 cup palm shortening
1/4 cup raw honey
1/4 cup organic cocoa
1 tbsp. orange zest
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. orange extract
1/4 tsp. granulated stevia
dash sea salt
1. Using the whisk attachment for your mixer, whisk the butter, honey, and palm shortening together until well combined.
2. Turn the mixer to low speed and add the cocoa powder, orange zest, stevia, orange extract, and sea salt. Mix on low until combined.
3. Increase the speed and mix until light and fluffy.
You can use this frosting on cupcakes, cakes, and even cookies. You can also omit the cocoa and orange for a basic vanilla frosting if you prefer.

5 Ways to Finish the Semester Strong
Parents and college students can both work towards a successful finals week.
The few weeks between Thanksgiving and winter break can make or break a student's semester grades. And for college freshmen, this period may be the first time students experience final exams or projects, when it's already easy to get distracted with the holidays right around the corner.
There isn't much of a role for parents to play in their student's final exams, but you may want to take the time to show you are thinking of him or her.
1. Check in: The period leading up to finals is a good time to check in with your child to see how he or she is doing, and to offer advice or support if needed. This is especially true if you've had a hands-off policy regarding grades up to this point.
2. Send a care package: A finals survival kit will be a welcome surprise for your child who should be studying hard. Ideas for things to include are snacks—your child's favorites and some healthy options—study supplies such as highlighters, sticky notes notes, USB flash drives, and gift cards to Starbucks or other local coffee places.
[See if these care package ideas might work for your student.]
At my high school, students were often exempt from a final if they had earned a 96 percent or above in the class. Good overall attendance could also earn students one waiver per semester. As a result, I had taken very few final exams going into my freshman year of college.
In my experience, your grade in a class has the potential to change significantly in the last few weeks of the semester. Here are some of my ingredients for acing finals (and doing well in the weeks prior):
1. Know where you stand: Last year, one of my friends went into finals week having gotten an A on every test that year. Feeling good about her grade, she didn't study for the final and bombed it, ending up with a B in the class.
Final exams often make up a sizable portion of your grade, sometimes equal to two or three other tests taken throughout the semester. Make sure you understand how your score on a final exam or project will affect your grade, and what you need to earn in order to achieve the grade you want.
2. Communicate with your teacher: This is good advice for nearly every area of academics. Whenever you have an issue with a class, my greatest advice is to communicate with your teacher. Make sure you're open with them about where you stand, as well as any difficulties you're having.
In my experience, they're almost always happy to hear from you—and might even cut you some slack when grading your final assignments of the year.
3. Avoid distractions: In the last few weeks before going home for winter break, there are plenty of things you'd rather be doing than schoolwork. Last year during finals week, at any given time my friends were watching Christmas movies, sledding, or going out to eat, while I tried to focus on those last few essays and tests.
You don't have to completely forego a social life during finals week, but it's important to manage your time well, and recognize when you can spare a few hours and when you can't. Trust me, you'll have plenty of down time during the three or four weeks you have off for winter break.

Free Press Staff Writer
— While the surgeon put her daughter back together — carefully placing tiny intestines back inside a tiny body — Vicki Frank prayed.
Prayed not so much to save the child's life, but for the child's soul. Frank knew it was over; the little girl she'd carried in her womb, a twin whose sister was thriving, was about to lose her long medical battle.
The little girl had fought hard, but this was enough. Modern medicine was out of answers. To prolong her life with heroic measures seemed pointless and would only result in a beautiful little girl spending a year or so in agony. No more suffering. Just let her go. It's OK, Elea. You can let go.
This procedure was supposed to be relatively simple and last roughly 30 minutes. But 30 minutes turned into an hour, which turned into an hour and a half.
As it continued to go beyond the estimated 30 minutes, Vicki's mom, Cindy Wendt, wondered whether the girl had possibly improved.
"We're not the kind of people who get miracles, Mom," Frank admonished her mother that day.
An hour and a half turned into two hours, which turned into 2 1/2. And when the surgeon finally emerged, the gravity of his clinical utterance at first wasn't clear to Vicki Frank.
"She has 38 centimeters," he said.
"What does that mean?" Frank asked.
"It means it's liveable."
And just like that, Elea Frank — a girl who doctors said had no future and concurred with the family's wishes to let her die — had stared down death ... and death blinked.
"The chaplain said, 'I've seen many miracles in my life, but nothing to the magnitude of Elea,'" recalled Wendt, Elea's grandmother.
In a few months, a benefit will be held for the family and for Elea. But the truth is, Elea's breathing body is gift enough for Frank.
"We are just completely blessed," she said. "I don't know any other words to say. We just enjoy every moment with all three of our kids."
Frank's odyssey with her twins began in August 2010. During a visit to a doctor she was told she'd had a miscarriage and was advised to follow up with her regular obstetrician. On that follow-up visit, however, she learned she still had a living baby in her womb.
In further follow-up care, she was scheduled for several ultrasounds where, during one visit, a sonographer gaped at the screen and informed Frank she was carrying twins.
A few weeks later, however, another ultrasound found that one of the twins was growing faster than the other. After doing a few tests, doctors surmised it might be a condition called twin to twin transfusion syndrome. The condition is characterized by compromised blood flow between twins that results in one being malnourished and the other having a heart that needs to work twice as hard to pump the increased blood volume.
She was put on bed rest and given medication to stave off the onset of labor.
Doctors at Abbott Northwestern Hospital said one of her twins also may be suffering from a condition called intrauterine growth restriction. Eventually they ordered her to be hospitalized at Abbott until delivery day. They monitored the progress of the twins constantly, and when she finally gave birth, they wrapped the babies up, let her hold them briefly, then whisked them away to Children's Hospital, a short walk from Abbott.
After their birth, doctors determined Emmi had been using 70 percent of the placenta while Elea had just 30 percent. After birth by cesarean section, both kids were considered high risk and placed into a neonatal intensive care unit. Emmi thrived and was allowed to leave before her due date. Elea, however, struggled.
She was diagnosed with patent ductus arteriosus, a condition where the aorta and pulmonary arteries fail to properly close after birth, compromising proper blood flow and heart function. She was also diagnosed with tethered cords in her spine, a level-one brain bleed and ventricular septal defect (a small hole in the heart).
While hospitalized at 9 months of age, Elea's condition improved slightly but then worsened. Frank recalled visiting one day to see Elea's belly slightly distended. By the next day ...
"She looked pregnant," Frank said.
Doctors determined she needed surgery, after which came that grim moment when they gave the family two options: give her intravenous nutrition and hope she makes it two years, or let her go.
"We didn't want to see her suffer," Frank said.
The problem was her small intestines. She was suffering from a condition known as necrotizing entercolitis, which essentially means parts of her intestines were dying. And when doctors initially discovered it, they determined it was already too late. Thus the poor prospects for survival.
But a doctor figured there was enough intestine left to give the girl 24 hours and see what happened.
And so the family spent what they thought was their last night with Elea. There was no sleep. There was only prayer. And hope.
Somewhere along the line, a doctor or nurse — Frank doesn't know who at this point — massaged some of Elea's intestines back to health.
And by the next morning, doctors made that discovery during a nearly three-hour procedure in which they found 38 centimeters of small intestine had come back to life in her abdomen.
Afterward, Frank said, doctors were in tears. Nurses left the hospital crying. Frank has no doubt that a miracle happened that day.
She'd survived, but she wasn't out of the woods yet. Her necrotizing entercolitis resulted in short bowel syndrome, and her recovery, Frank knew, would be a long one.
She continued to have complications, and was dealing with a central line called a TPN that delivered nutrition directly to her heart. TPN lines, Frank said, are dangerous and must be handled with caution. Any mistakes in handling could result in infection, and with a patient so young and vulnerable, such a mistake could be fatal.
At this point, the most pressing concern was a dirty one.
"The biggest issue is pooping," she said.
Because Elea lacked the amount of small intestine most kids have, her bowel movements were many. And because the stool that emerged didn't have the normal filtration a normal small intestine can give it, it was highly acidic. That acid is hard on Elea's bottom, which means her caregivers have to be on constant alert for diaper rash.
They also had to monitor her stool for changes in color, consistency or frequency because changes in any of those could be clues to problems in her body. A tough job, for sure.
By May 2012, she still wasn't thriving at home, so Frank sought answers. The advice she got was to take Elea to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha that specializes in this condition. They went, and not only did they get the help they needed, but they also enrolled Elea in an eating therapy program so intensive and so comprehensive that it comes with a price tag of between $50,000 and $80,000.
The eating therapy helped, as did the Nebraska doctors, who were able to stabilize Elea's digestive progress. Perhaps most importantly, the Nebraska doctors were able to detect and treat an infection in Elea's TPN line early enough that it didn't cause her much trouble. By November, that TPN line was removed.
Today, she's well on her way to recovery. Development wise, she's behind her twin sister. But the two are working together to catch Elea up.
"When Elea went through all her surgeries, Emmi was always a different baby. She would be cranky upset and not take naps until after Elea would have a surgery and be stable. Then Emmi would be normal again," Frank said. "Even in Nebraska, the night before her surgery to get her new (TPN line), Emmi did not sleep that night and was up before I was to see Elea before surgery. Emmi really looks out for her twin.
"It helps to have Emmi because Elea looks up to her and wants to do the same things as her twin and older sister."
And now the chances are that she will.

(UPDATED, 11:30 p.m.) Well many Bills fans and Buffalo media have been calling this entire decade for the Bills to "Go Big" in the draft by picking offensive and defensive linemen. They did it on Saturday by drafting trench players with three of the first four picks. Maybe they can get a handle on Vince Wilfork of New England and Kris Jenkins of the Jets once and for all. So bravo for them going big. The question that isn't fully answered at this point is where their second second-round pick, guard Andy Levitre, fits in. Scouting reports suggest his arms aren't long enough to play tackle. At 6 foot 2 he isn't an ideal height for tackle. He's smart, tough and nasty. Most scouts project him as a guard. So how is he going to get on the field the next two years, with Eric Wood at left guard, Geoff Hangartner at center and Brad Butler at right guard? We'll have to find out more about that question on Sunday. But here's one scenario: Hangartner looks like a good signing but let's face it, he's not a blue chipper. They probably don't want to start two rookies side by side in the middle of the line. So Levitre sees spot duty this year, fills in if there are injuries and provides good depth. Then in 2010 the Bills have a major stud starting at center (Wood) and a major stud at guard (Levitre) and Hangartner provides veteran backup at both spots. The days of getting stuffed on third and one are over. Plausible? We'll see.

History and activities
Whakatane Emergency Response Team (WERT) was established as an offshoot of the Whakatane Volunteer Rural Force, which was deployed to the Bay of Plenty floods in 2004 and the Matata debris flow in 2005. After Matata, it was decided that to improve capability and assist the Whakatane District Council fulfil it's responsibilities under the CDEM Act 2002, USAR capability would be advantageous. So WERT was formed and registered as NZ-RT17 in 2006. NZ-RT17 is one of three registered teams in the Bay of Plenty (NZ-RT16 Tauranga and NZRT15 Rotorua). There are currently 20 active members and the team is owned by Whakatane District Council.
Deployment history
In 2008 WERT assisted the Police Dive Squad with a body recovery in the Waioeka Gorge.
Team capability includes rope response, swiftwater response, general rescue and flood and storm response. All volunteers have first aid qualifications and we have a paramedic and an advanced paramedic ready to deploy.
Team goals
In the new response team environment, WERT are looking to focus on the needs and risks in our area and enhance the Eastern Bay's capacity to respond.

Thoughts on the 58th Bomb Wing:
Space doesn't permit me to articulate what my true feelings are about my experiences during WWII. In the context of today's world, and today's attitudes in America, it scares me and makes me worry about the future of America and the world. During WWII there was no doubt about why we were fighting and there was support from virtually every American. It was a privilege to serve with so many talented and dedicated people. Being one of the lucky ones to survive, it bothers me to see the moral breakdown in our society. In short, too many people don't seem willing to work and take risks to better themselves and society as a whole.
During my 82+ years, WWII stands out as a time when people with real character came together and helped preserve what working and dedicated people before us had created without so-called government assistance. The right to be free to work and create were all the rights they needed. I'm very proud and privileged to have served with the men and women of the 58th Bomb Wing.
Let's not forget the real heroes of the 58th Wing -- those who made the supreme sacrifice!

"We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day."
~ Edith Lovejoy Pierce
Is making New Year Resolutions an annual ritual for you?
Setting goals for the year ahead shows a desire to change and improve your life for the better, which is wonderful!
But, for some of us our resolutions don't get past the 'planning' stage!
So, what is the secret to setting New Year Resolutions that will stick?

Revenue Red-light cameras cause more accidents
So says a South Florida College of Public Health study.
The Knoxville Police Department says otherwise.
I wonder if, in cities where the cameras operate, there might be an increase in the intensity of side-impact collisions when the do occur. In knoxville, particularly at the Cedar Bluff lights, where I travel a lot, I frequently see drivers burn through the intersection on a yellow light trying not to get caught.
At busy intersections like these, drivers are often confronted with the decision to go or not with little green left and the possibility of getting trapped in the intersection. I often see them stop on a green and wait for another cycle. Sometimes they get intimidated by drivers behind them blowing their horns and they make a futile run for it.
How much of the money has been applied toward traffic safety issues in general and to specific safety improvements at those intersections in particular?
Sooner or later, everybody around here will get at least one of the tickets. The two guys I mentioned some time ago who were big supporters of putting the cameras in? Well, they each now have two, and one just got his third. They are careful, almost paranoid drivers, and in each case, they got trapped in the intersection when cars ahead balked and went on, or they wer intimidated into making a run for it and couldn't make it.
Get rid of the yellow light altogether.
The KPD has given the same spin to these revenue raising cameras that every greedy city police department already has. The reason they all sound the same; they are being coached by the company that provides the red light cameras and receives the greatest amount of revenue from them.
These cameras are being installed only at wide intersections where they can play with the timing of the yellow lights in order to control (increase) the revenue that is produced. You will not see any of these cameras installed at small intersections no matter what the accident rate is because they don't have a long enough window to mess with the timing of the yellow. Check it out if you don't believe what I am saying. Ask the KPD to furnish you with the locations of the intersections that have the highest accident rates and then ask them to provide you with the locations of the red light cameras.
All they have to do to decrease the accident statistics at the larger intersections is to lengthen the time of the yellow to give people time to clear the intersection if the yellow comes on when it is too late to safely come to a stop. This has been proven in study after study all over the world. I have actually noted the time it takes to clear these wide intersections at the speed limit and it is impossible to clear some of them in three or four seconds. If they set the yellow at less than this they are using the cameras for generating revenue and that is a fact that can't be denied.
IMO there is no purpose whatsoever for these cameras except to raise revenue from the citizens.
Interesting article in the Parade magazine included with Sunday's KNS concerning red light cameras.
An excerpt from the article:
"A study by the Federal Highway Administration showed that rear-impact crashes increased by 15% at monitored intersections. Side impact crashes fell by 25%. Another study found that cameras had "a significant and large" negative effect, raising accident rates. A solution: Experts have found that making two changes before installing cameras--improving traffic signal visibility and lengthening yellow lights by one second--has helped to reduce crashes and improve safety."
Note the part about lengthening the yellow by one second!
The cameras in Knoxville are put there for the sole purpose of making money for the city and they are proving to be very efficient at it so far.
Write your councilperson and the mayor and tell them what a ripoff these cameras are. Call them and complain. Write the governor and your state representative and tell them you want these cameras banned from use in our state. The taxpayers are burdened enough without having another tax placed on those that happen to get caught in these electronic money traps!
