Seamless transition for Mark Matthews, but more growth is ahead for Rush rookie
If it seems like things are coming easy to Mark Matthews in the early goings of his NLL career, that shouldn't come as too much of a shock.
The NLL's Rookie of the Month for January and the leading first-year points producer through Week 5, the No. 1 overall draft pick is benefitting from his familiarity with members of the Edmonton Rush roster, and the bench, too. As a Junior A player who got around a bit, Matthews played alongside the likes of Curtis Knight and John LaFontaine in Whitby, with Jeff Cornwall in Coquitlam (winning a Minto Cup in 2010, to boot), and he's played against guys like Kyle Rubisch, Chris Corbeil and Corey Small.
"There's a lot of guys here that I've played with, some guys I've played with or against my whole life," said Matthews, a Team 22 sponsored athlete. "Having played with some of the guys has helped my transition. … It's nice because you get a couple practices in and you start to become familiar with one another and start to know what to expect out of other guys."

The world drinks a lot of coffee—nearly half a billion kilograms a year. After all those cups of coffee, espressos, cappuccinos, and lattes have been poured, there's a veritable mountain of grounds left behind. The vast majority of it gets tossed into the waste bin and hauled off to landfill.
Ground to Ground is an expanding international program where coffee grounds are collected from cafes and recycled in gardens, rather than being thrown to landfill.
Members of the Food 4 All Network, a local group promoting the development of sustainable food systems and maximising community food ownership, has partnered with the City of Onkaparinga to implement a pilot program in Willunga.
45% of businesses serving coffee in Willunga were already recycling their coffee grounds before the commencement of this program. All outlets approached were excited about this concept and have come on board with Ground to Ground.
We are encouraging coffee shops to take up a recycling option and:
Look out for our Ground to Ground logo at participating stores, or click here for a list of their locations and which ones offer grounds for you to collect.
If you are a coffee shop or store that makes coffee and would like more information about the program or how to get involved, contact Lynda Wedding, Waste & Recycling Education Officer on 8384 0666.

Wonderful , flavorful, goodness. I used mahatma "spicy" yellow rice, so I left out the jalapeno. I over did the thyme a bit,( my fault I got over zealous with the spices, I used fresh thyme and rosemary) but it was still phenomenal. I cooked the whole dinner in one big skillet. Cooked the pork chops (didn't use chicken) in the skillet , put them aside , cooked the veggies til soft then threw in the herb/spices for a few minutes then added the rice with the seasoning packet and the water , covered for ten minutes added pork chops and peas then covered for another 15 minutes.....perfection in a pan!! Don't omit the cloves in fact all the spices work together for a wonderful combo and don't omit the squeeze of lemon at the end it adds a freshness and flavor thats delish. If your'e not used to using these herbs give this a try , it will make a believer out of you.
I made a more mild version of this, but it was still wonderful.
This is pretty good but I think a different sauce is needed. Chili sauce is ok but my husband thought that maybe a green sauce would actually be better. Will probably try again with changes.

The war on health insurance companies is indicative of the government's greed for power
The Democrats are bound and determined to demonize the private health insurance industry and use that demonization as a basis for further control by government. Seizing on one insurance company's rate increase in California as a reason for government intervention the House has passed a piece of legislation in the House to remove the industry's anti-trust exemption. That'll teach 'em (and by the way, the vote was 406-19 so a whole heck of a lot of Republicans have bought into this again).
The White House, of course, backs the bill claiming:
The repeal of the antitrust exemption in the McCarran-Ferguson Act as it applies to the health insurance industry would give American families and businesses, big and small, more control over their own health care choices by promoting greater insurance competition.
But will it do what the White House says it will do. Most likely not:
The Congressional Budget Office concludes that repeal "would have no significant effects on either the federal budget or the premiums that private insurers charged for health insurance." University of Pennsylvania economist Scott Harrington says, "This is just barking up the wrong tree…It might sound good, but I can think of very few things …that would be less consequential for consumers of health insurance." Professor Austin Frakt of Boston University notes, "Repeal of the exemption is popular, but like a lot of things done in anger, it isn't particularly wise and won't be very effective."
In essence this is a political temper tantrum of the type where bad law is usually made. It's not clear that this particular law will have negative effect, but it is apparently not going to do what the White House claims. But it will accomplish one thing – increase the power of the federal government.
To understand that, a little background concerning the exemption might be informative:
In 1944, the Supreme Court overturned prior case law and held that the antitrust laws should apply to insurance.
Congress responded with the McCarran-Ferguson Act, which created a limited exemption from federal antitrust law for the "business of insurance." To qualify for the exemption, each state had to engage in oversight of its insurance market. States responded by creating insurance commissioners and regulating insurer conduct.
The logic of the exemption was that prior to 1944, insurance had been regulated by the states anyway. No one felt any compelling need for intrusion by the federal government, or to allow private litigants to bring federal antitrust suits against insurers. In addition, insurers — particularly smaller insurers —can more accurately price risk if they can share information on their actuarial experience. The exemption created a safety zone for insurers to share information free from the threat of private antitrust suits.
McCarran-Ferguson still left insurers subject to state regulatory oversight and federal antitrust scrutiny for matters that don't involve "the business of insurance." Contrary to Sen. Reid's claim, the federal government already scrutinizes mergers for anticompetitive consequences, and has brought several challenges.
The point of the exemption was to actually help make the industry more competitive. Sharing "actuarial experience" will now be an anti-trust violation. Additionally, private litigants will now be able to bring federal anti-trust suits against insurers – if this passes the Senate.
So when the White House continues, saying:
The repeal also will outlaw existing, anti-competitive health insurance practices like price fixing, bid rigging, and market allocation that drive up costs for all Americans. Health insurance reform should be built on a strong commitment to competition in all health care markets, including health insurance.
It's describing what was formerly considered to be "the business of insurance." Now it is "price fixing" and "bid rigging". And most disingenuous of all is the claim it will spur competition.
So what will this do?
Insurers fear that losing the exemption would force them to deal with an additional (federal) regulator and expose them to private federal antitrust suits. State insurance commissioners also want to keep the exemption, because they prefer to remain the dominant regulator. On the other hand, federal antitrust authorities want to scrap the exemption because they don't like exemptions — although they don't seem to be claiming that repeal would result in greater competition.
Then the point of the bill is to increase what? Federal regulation. More federal control of the private health insurance industry that states have always regulated. This isn't about competition, "bid rigging" or "price fixing". This is about gathering more power at the federal level.
The excuse is this "greedy" insurance company in California (btw, the health insurance industry's profit margin is 35th among all industries at 2.2%) that is raising premiums.
But what most don't seem to understand is there are different types of greed. And one of them is a greed for power. That greed has been on display for years, and intensely so for the last year, within the federal government. This bill is nothing more than another manifestation of that greed.
Is Senate Health Care Reform bill dead? And does Obama have a fallback plan? (Update)
It is looking more and more like the support for passing the pending Senate Democratic version of the health care bill just isn't there – among Democrats. Deaths and recent resignations in the House, as well as pro-life Democrats, make getting the required number of votes to pass that legislation – unchanged as necessary – virtually impossible. Unless the House passes that legislation Democratic members of the Senate are saying the process is dead. Even Sen. Robert Byrd has gotten into the act addressing Democratic Senate colleagues by letter and warning against changing filibuster rules in order to advance their legislative priorities
That leaves us with today's scheduled televised health care summit. What's its purpose? My contention has been it's a bit of political theater to convince the public that the Republicans are the problem (both generally and specifically). But it also appears a bit of political reality is beginning to settle on the White House. The Wall Street Journal reports that Obama may introduce the idea of a vastly scaled back plan if he determines that the present plan isn't going to make it. Given the difficulty outlined above of passing what is presently pending in Congress, this may be the result of the summit – a new and much smaller approach to passing something called "health care reform". Says the WSJ:
It would do that by requiring insurance companies to allow people up to 26 years old to stay on their parents' health plans, and by modestly expanding two federal-state health programs, Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program, one person said. The cost to the federal government would be about one-fourth the price tag for the broader effort, which the White House has said would cost about $950 billion over 10 years.
If, in fact, that's the plan, then it is hardly what anyone would call "reform". SCHIP (the Children's Health Insurance Program) has already been expanded – it was one of the first bills Obama signed. Additionally, the expansion of Medicaid won't please state who mostly pay for the program. Lastly, such a bill would do nothing to address the 800 pound gorilla in the room – what is necessary to bring costs in the federal programs (Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP) under control. That is where the problem is to be found – not in private insurance. It also leaves those things the GOP and the right want where they our now – left out.
If that's the result of today's summit, it will be considered by all sides to be a failure. It will obviously be spun by the usual suspects in the administration as a rousing success. However, what has to be kept in mind is even this would have to pass through Congress and that's not at all a sure thing anymore with the election of Scott Brown, breaking the filibuster proof majority formerly enjoyed by the Democrats.
It'll be interesting to see how this summit turns out today. Reviewing the list of those invited, I don't expect much in the way of compromise or bi-partisanship. And that's fine with me.
UPDATE: Gallup weighs in with a poll about the health care summit and the mood of the public:
Americans are skeptical that lawmakers will agree on a new healthcare bill at Thursday's bipartisan health care summit in Washington, D.C. If an agreement is not reached, Americans by a 49% to 42% margin oppose rather than favor Congress passing a health care bill similar to the one proposed by President Obama and Democrats in the House and Senate. By a larger 52% to 39% margin, Americans also oppose the Democrats in the Senate using a reconciliation procedure to avoid a possible Republican filibuster and pass a bill by a simple majority vote.
I agree the skepticism is warranted. 49% of independents oppose passage with 24% strongly opposing it in that poll (only 8% strongly favor it). Also note the overwhelming margin concerning the use of reconciliation. Again, looking at independents, 53% oppose it with 25% strongly opposing it (only 9% strongly favor it). I believe that could be deemed "fair warning" to Democrats.
About those Senate rules – once they were "sacred." Remember?
Harry Reid and the Democrats think Republicans should "quit crying" about reconciliation. Shall we revisit that very bunch in 2005?
Reading the polls
A couple of interesting polls to note today. The first concerns labor union popularity. They aren't. Popular that is. Or at least not at all as popular as they once were. Pew reports:
Favorable views of labor unions have plummeted since 2007, amid growing public skepticism about unions' purpose and power. Currently, 41% say they have a favorable opinion of labor unions while about as many (42%) express an unfavorable opinion. In January 2007, a clear majority (58%) had a favorable view of unions while just 31% had an unfavorable impression.
Those are the worst favorables for labor unions since 1985 (and lower than even that year). A majority of Democrats still have a favorable view of unions (56%) while Republicans (29%) and the all important independents (38%) don't. My guess is the dramatic and highly visible political role played by unions in the 2008 presidential election (especially the SEIU which is also linked with the ever popular ACORN) as well as their role in trying to pack town halls to freeze out protesters this last summer have contributed to the unfavorable view labor unions now enjoy. And, of course, government handing over majority ownership to unions in the GM and Chrysler bailouts also had a hand in driving their favorables down as that was seen as a pretty blatant political payoff. This poll is another indication that Americans are indeed watching what has been going on, are aware of what has happened and don't like it at all.
Speaking of government, or at least one branch of it, Rasmussen has its poll on Congressional approval out. Unsurprisingly Congress has achieved new record lows.
Voter unhappiness with Congress has reached the highest level ever recorded by Rasmussen Reports as 71% now say the legislature is doing a poor job.
That's up ten points from the previous high of 61% reached a month ago.
10 points? In a month? That's not a decline. That's freefall. And it couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch. But the message is found in some of the responses within the poll. For instance:
Nearly half of Democratic voters (48%) now give Congress a poor rating, up 17 points since January.
That 48% is probably upset that the Democratic Congress hasn't delivered on it's promised agenda. While that certainly adds to the overall unfavorable rating, it's one that could flip in an instant should that agenda be muscled through (something that seems less and less likely now).
Seventy percent (70%) of voters say Congress has not passed any legislation that would significantly improve life for Americans, up 10 points over the past month and the highest level of dissatisfaction measured in regular tracking in over three years.
Again, part of that is probably that 48% Democrats not happy that the agenda is stalled. And that could include a portion of liberal leaning indies as well. But:
Forty percent (40%) of voters nationwide now say it is at least somewhat likely Congress will seriously address the most important issues facing the nation. That's down from 59% last March. Only 9% say it is Very Likely Congress will address these issues.
Any guess what the "most important issues facing the nation" are?
Well it's not health care:
As Congress continues to hash out the health care reform plan proposed by the president and Congressional Democrats, just 41% of voters favor the plan while 56% are opposed. Sixty-three percent (63%) of all voters say a better strategy to reform the health care system would be to pass smaller bills that address problems individually.
In fact, as Joe Biden has said, "it's three letters. J.O.B.S.". It is the economy and jobs. What is becoming increasingly clear is the administration and Congress have no idea how to get that done – well, except creating government jobs.
But before Congressional Democrats get all giddy thinking they can turn these numbers by pushing their agenda through come hell or high water, they need to again try to understand the present mood of the electorate – the mood they – the presently serving members of Congress on both sides – have helped create:
Other recent polling also reflects voter disappointment in Congress. Earlier this month, 63% of voters said it would be better for the country if most incumbents in Congress were defeated this November. Just 27% of voters say their representative in Congress is the best possible person for the job.
Three out of four voters (75%) report being at least somewhat angry at the policies of the federal government. Part of the frustration is likely due to the belief of 60% of voters that neither Republican political leaders nor Democratic political leaders have a good understanding of what is needed today.
Still, voters believe Democrats are more likely than Republicans to have a plan for the future.
Regardless of which political side voters are on, just 21% believe that the federal government enjoys the consent of the governed.
Read all of that carefully – that's the rest of the Tea Party iceberg uncovered for you. As I've been saying for a year, the economic and financial meltdown and the government's reaction was more than enough to jar the population from it's complacency. Politicians still haven't figured that out even though protesters and polls have been loudly announcing it for months. Congress and government in general is considered to out-of-touch and out of control. The dissatisfaction is focused on the Democrats at the moment because they represent the government establishment now, but it is clearly a dissatisfaction that crosses party lines. And I'm not sure the GOP has figured it out anymore than have the Democrats.
And while the GOP leads in the generic poll, the perception of Congress and the politicians therein is not a pretty one:
Just 9% of voters believe most members of Congress are genuinely interested in helping people, which ties the recent low in December. Eighty-one percent (81%) say most members of Congress are more interested in their own careers, a new multi-year high.
The plurality of voters (42%) continues to believe most members of Congress are corrupt, a result that has remained fairly consistent over the past several months. One in three U.S. voters (32%) does not see most congressmen as corrupt. Another 26% are undecided.
It's why I continue to think that the first Tuesday night in November will be "must see TV". Will this dissatisfaction manifest itself in the voting booth? And if it does, what will be the outcome for the next Congress?
More importantly what if it doesn't? Is there enough anger and discontent out there to drive people to the voting booth? And if it doesn't, won't we then get precisely what we deserve? And finally, if we get what we deserve, won't politicians rightly surmise they can ignore the public for the most part since there's really no penalty for doing so?
Russia: How's that "reset button" working?
The push for international support for tougher sanctions against Iran seem to be going well with our good friends in Russia:
Russia will not support "crippling" sanctions against Iran, including any that may be slapped on the Islamic Republic's banking or energy sectors, a senior Russian diplomat said Wednesday.
"We are not got going to work on sanctions or measures which could lead to the political or economic or financial isolation of this country," Oleg Rozhkov, deputy director of the security affairs and disarmament department at Russia's Foreign Ministry, told reporters.
"What relation to non-proliferation is there in forbidding banking activities with Iran? This is a financial blockade. And oil and gas. These sanctions are aimed only at paralyzing the country and paralyzing the regime."
Well, yeah – that's sort of the point of sanctions. Short of that, there are few options left to force Iran to comply with the will of the international community – such that it is. And this is one of the failings of the Obama administration's approach.
You have to sort of root around to find that approach spelled out, but the clearest indication of how the administration approaches foreign policy is actually found in the DoD's recently released Quarterly Defense Review. One sentence tells it all:
"America's interests are inextricably linked to the integrity and resilience of the international system."
In the past, US presidents have realized that, "the integrity of the international system depends upon the resilience of American power."
The Obama administration (and this explains much of his world apology tour) has flipped that now putting "American power" second to the will and "integrity" of the "international system". As the article cited notes, Obama wants a "quiet world" so he can concentrate on his domestic agenda. One way to do that is cede the US's leadership role.
You can see how well that approach is working. Russia has just demonstrated the "integrity" of the "international system" by saying "no". I wonder if Obama will call them obstructionists and "the country of 'no'."
Seriously though, this is quite a step back from the American leadership of the past, and it will have consequences. That statement in the QDR cedes our former position as the supposed leader of the free world to organizations like the UN. That has been a dream of the liberal left for decades. And as you read through the article I've cited for the QDR quote, look at the analysis that says that the plan reduces the American role in world by "disarming" us and structuring our military for a lesser role.
Russia is just the first of many nations which are going to defy the US's attempts at pushing its foreign policy throughout the world because, essentially, there is no down side to doing so. We're a weakened debtor nation (Putin recently consoled EU economic basket case Greece by pointing out the US is in the same boat) that has made it pretty clear that it won't act without clear consensus from the "international system" this administration seems to love. Russia is obviously a part of that system and doesn't mind at all stepping up and saying no. And China? Well, if Russia is this blatant and blunt about denying what the US wants, you can imagine China's position.
Like I said, 2009 was the year of taking this administration's measure on the foreign policy front. 2010 is the year that those sensing a power/leadership vacuum inherent in this US pullback attempt to fill it. Russia's just the first to step up to the plate. We'll hear from China soon.
Vanity Fair Discovers Opposition Sells
Way back during the Bush years, we saw the rise of the netroots premised on the idea that Bush was the worst thing that had ever happened to America. Also boosted by the Bush years was the circulation of liberal magazines. The passion of the opposition was readily apparent to anyone who took the time to read either the liberal blogs or pubs.
That was then, this is now. Suddenly the opposition came to power and instead of spending their days throwing bombs and spit wads, they've had to defend what they helped bring about – a seemingly inept and drifting administration focused on the wrong things (they're having a "health care reform" summit today, instead of talking about jobs) in a time of economic downturn and joblessness.
Vanity Fair has "discovered" that "hate sells". It sold throughout the Bush years and now it is selling in the Obama years. Liberal magazine circulation is down from their Bush hating highs and conservative magazine circulation is up. I don't know if it is true, but I'd guess that liberal blogs are suffering a bit of a downturn too. It is much easier to criticize (and I'll be the first to admit that as I do it daily and find plenty of fodder for such criticism) than to defend. And criticism is usually much more passionate and seems to draw more passionate responses than does a defense.
What has happened to the liberals is they've gone from being the opposition – their usual position – to the establishment. They're not comfortable (or particularly good) with being the establishment. They're also not comfortable with having to defend their positions as they try to put them into effect via law. What they're finding is it's no fun being the establishment, and it is many times hard to summon the passion to defend their actions and ideas when they're under assault from all sides.
One of the things these circulation numbers tell us as they swing from one side to the other is the measure of the "enthusiasm gap" (that all important gap that usually indicates which party's GOTV effort will turn out the most voters in any upcoming election). As has been the case depending on which party holds the White House or Congress, there is usually more enthusiasm on the opposition's side than on the establishment's side. That seems to be the case now. Welcome to American politics. In fact, it is nothing new and should the GOP capture Congress or Obama be a one-term president, the left will rise again.
In the meantime, they learn what it is like to be on the receiving end of what they dealt for 8 years. But they should also understand that the passion has deserted the left and now resides more on the right (although the Tea Parties indicate a bit of a wild card). And they know full well what that tends to mean in terms of politics and elections. The circulation numbers cited by Vanity Fair are only an indicator of that.
2010 Midterm Elections
According to Chris Cilliza of The Fix, Charlie Cook, one of the best of the Democratic Party election handicappers, isn't high at all on the chances of House Democrats of retaining the majority. Watch the video – he immediately says the same thing I've been saying – there is no "communication problem" with President Obama. Instead he's sees what has happened to Obama and the Democrats as being "fundamental and total miscalculations" on their part.
Cook also finds it hard, after discussions with what he calls the brightest of House Dems, he finds it very hard to "come up with a scenario in which the Democrats don't loose the House".
Interesting comparision: Bush/Iraq = Obama/Health Care. Now, I don't know if I'm as pessimistic as Cook seems to be (and trust me Cook knows this infinitly better than I do as he's proven election after election), but it is certainly true that I think House Democrats will loose a significant number of seats and their easy majority will become a difficult one next January where they'll actually have to take Blue Dogs seriously since it might be that bloc that provides the swing votes necessary for either side to have their way.
Cilliza finds another respected election handicapper who disagrees slightly with Cook – not with Democratic losses, just with the amount:
Stu Rothenberg, another noted political handicapper in Washington, has pegged Democratic House losses as between 24 and 28 seats. He writes: "We currently expect Republicans to fall short of the 40 seats they would need."
In a polarized House, the loss of between 24 and 28 (I think it could actually be a little higher than that) is significant. The health care bill passed the House by 3 votes if my memory serves me correctly. As I point out above, controversial bills would have to be toned down and take a much more conservative tone to pass the House if those gains above are realized.
But to this point, all of the above is idle speculation. In terms of an election 9 months is an eternity. What I think will help cement either Rothenberg or Cook's prognostications, however, is if the Democrats manage, by hook or crook, to pass health care legislation – especially with no Republican votes for it. Then I think Cook has it right. I think the voter's wrath will be such that any name on the ballot with a "D" after it will be fair game.
It's Bush's Fault. And Paulson's. And Bernanke's. And ….
John McCain, under attack for his part in approving TARP, is now claiming he was "misled":
In response to criticism from opponents seeking to defeat him in the Aug. 24 Republican primary, the four-term senator says he was misled by then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. McCain said the pair assured him that the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program would focus on what was seen as the cause of the financial crisis
, the housing meltdown.
"Obviously, that didn't happen," McCain said in a meeting Thursday with The Republic's Editorial Board, recounting his decision-making during the critical initial days of the fiscal crisis. "They decided to stabilize the Wall Street institutions, bail out (insurance giant) AIG, bail out Chrysler, bail out General Motors. . . . What they figured was that if they stabilized Wall Street – I guess it was trickle-down economics – that therefore Main Street would be fine.
Well one reason it wasn't used only for the "housing meltdown" is because the law apparently didn't specify it must be. Consequently one has to conclude it was McCain and those who wrote the law and voted for it who are responsible for what happened. They a wrote bad law. They fell for the drama. They threw almost a trillion dollars out there and are now complaining that it wasn't used as they "thought" it would be used. Really?
If they were going to pass this travesty anyway, why wasn't it limited to what the people who brought the problem to them (Paulson and Bernanke) said constituted the problem? How did it end up bailing out auto companies and AIG?
Bad law. And the ones responsible for writing th law include this guy trying to pass of the blame to others.
Secondly, there's this:
McCain said Bush called him in off the campaign trail, saying a worldwide economic catastrophe was imminent and that he needed his help. "I don't know of any American, when the president of the United States calls you and tells you something like that, who wouldn't respond," McCain said. "And I came back and tried to sit down and work with Republicans and say, 'What can we do?'
Responding is one thing. But when your constituents are dead set against it, to whom should he really be responding? Well, who does he supposedly represent? What McCain is really saying is "when the president tells you he wants you to pass a bad law, you salute and do what he says". Really? "Response" apparently means saying ok to unconstitutional spending. Not that Mr. McCain/Feingold has much use for the Constitution.
So, bad law, ignoring his constituents and now blaming others.
Sounds like a pretty typical politician who has spent way too much time inside the beltway to me – a politician well past his "incumbent expiration" date.
The Coming "Health Care Summit" Ambush
Maybe I'm just being a bit paranoid about this upcoming televised "health care summit" that President Obama has decided is suddenly so necessary. Maybe it's that I see politics in every move this guy makes. This summit just isn't what it seems and, at least to me, that seems apparent. What it is however is the perfect opportunity for Obama to play at statesman, provide himself an opportunity to keep a campaign promise and finally make – for once and for all – the GOP the bad guys in all of this.
Here's the scenario I envision:
Fresh off his televised performance at the GOP retreat in Baltimore a few weeks ago, which received rave reviews from the usual media suspects, the administration hit upon an idea. TV is and always has been the prefect medium for Barack Obama. And the format at the retreat was perfect for him – it allowed him to lecture, cajole and demonize without any real opposition. Why not do that again on an even bigger scale and for some big stakes? Why not do it on health care?
What has been a problem for the Democrats? The public doesn't like their health care bill. And their continued attempts to pass it have only cause the public to like it even less. But Democrats know that this is the only window of opportunity they're likely to have and it is closing rapidly. So how do they get the public on their side and get this bill passed? The easiest way is a distraction and a bit of blame shifting. Good TV. The fact that Obama has made it clear that he has no intention of seeing the present and pending Senate bill scrapped should be sounding warning bells among the GOP. This isn't about compromise. This isn't about "bi-partisanship". This is about a justification for passing health care via reconcilliation by showing the Republicans as the "party of 'no'".
Think about it. Who controls the format and tone of the the "summit"? Certainly not the GOP (and when they did they still came off looking pretty lame). So let's say Obama says to the Democrats "what is it you want?" And they claim the "public option" (or whatever). Obama says it's probably not going to happen. They act disappointed (but don't forget they have 2200 pages of health care legislation already to be passed). Obama then asks the Republicans, "what do you want". And they lay it all out – tort reform, drop the mandates, insurance across state lines, etc. And he say, "OK, we will put all that in the bill. Now will you support it?"
Heh … it's the perfect question, because like any good lawyer, he already knows the answer. The answer is "no". They've already made it clear they can't support the Senate version of the bill – that's the bill to be passed. And if they say yes, they may as well resign from office because the backlash will be such that they'd wish they had.
Obama gets his moment recorded by the TV cameras no less. And mournfully he pronounces the Republicans as obstructionists who refused to negotiate in good faith as the great and wonderful Democrats have offered to do. And because of that, it is with a heavy heart and reluctantly he is forced to agree with the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that reconciliation is the only route left open to them to do "what is right" for the American people.
Just hide and watch – I'm giving 3 to 1 odds I'm right. Don't believe it? Read this and tell me it doesn't indicate the scenario I've suggested.
The Dangers Of Reactive Populism
Not necessarily the danger to the politician – they're seizing upon something which stirs up the public and trying to cash in on it politically. But such "cashing in" usually leads to bad law. And bad law leads to unintended consequences and usually more government intrusion.
President Obama will propose on Monday giving the federal government new power to block excessive rate increases by health insurance companies, as he rolls out comprehensive legislation to revamp the nation's health care system, White House officials said Sunday.
This "new power" to "block" (i.e control) "excessive" (who gets to define "excessive"?) rate increases is a perfect example of the point.
By focusing on the effort to tighten regulation of insurance costs, a new element not included in either the House or Senate bills, Mr. Obama is seizing on outrage over recent premium increases of up to 39 percent announced by Anthem Blue Cross of California and moving to portray the Democrats' health overhaul as a way to protect Americans from profiteering insurers.
In reaction to a single insurer in a single state raising the premium because of the loss of subscribers and revenue due to the recession, Obama has seized upon that as a populist reason to call for more government control. The subscribers Anthem needs to balance out those they're paying for are gone. California has been very hard hit by the recession and Anthem is attempting to survive to continue to pay for those subscribers whose treatments it now covers.
Of course that's seen as "profiteering" by a government which has managed to run up trillions of dollars in future deficits in the medical care program it runs.
Instead of trotting out a suggestion for more control – in this case cost controls (and we all know how well those work – see Venezuela. See Zimbabwe) – the answer should be competition. Clearly if consumers had a choice they'd leave Anthem and hook up with another insurer less likely to raise their fees. That possibility would limit most insurers from proposing hikes which would run off those they need to support the pool. And, if Anthem had the opportunity to broaden its base of subscribers by selling across state lines, it most likely wouldn't have to raise fees or, at least, not 39%.
Consumers don't have that choice. Insurers are restricted from selling across state lines. Why? Because bad law says so. This is a situation which can pretty easily be remedied and it can be done with less government. Repeal the laws keeping subscribers from buying from whomever they'd like in the US. We do it with every other type of insurance product you can imagine, health insurance should be no different (consider we do it now with Medigap insurance through vendors such as AARP).
Instead we're likely to see the opposite happen. And, as usual, we'll suffer the unintended consequences – less coverage, dropping people at the first sign of a disease which carries substantial cost and, of course, insurance companies which aren't as financially sound as others going out of business.
The bottom line is Obama still doesn't understand the unrest and dissatisfaction with the direction of this country (as represented by the Tea Parties) has to do with the size, scope and cost of government. The solution here is simple and something which has been proposed by the GOP for quite some time. The administration's answer, however, is to do precisely the opposite. Obama's answer to everything is more government, more control, more spending.
And that's the wrong answer.

Baby Falling Roof Meaning dream interpretations
Kabah - Perhaps From Kubos, In Greek,
"cube" Dream Explanation
— The holiest shrine for Muslims. A small, rectangular building made of gray stones in the court of the Grand Mosque at Mecca (Makkah) that contains remnants of the statues or idols that were worshiped in the pre-Islamic era, it is one of the goals of Islamic pilgrimage and the point toward which Muslims turn in praying. It is said to have been built by the Prophet Abraham, to whom the Archangel Gabriel gave the mysterious black stone placed in one of its corners at one and a half meters from the ground. Lucky pilgrims touch and/or kiss that stone. The Kabah symbolizes: (1) The Holy Quran, the imam, the mosque, Islam, the Tradition of the Muslims Holy Prophet, the father, et cetera.

Roof Dream Explanation
— In a dream, a
represents a noble and a well respected woman or man. If one sees himself running on top of a

Baby crow Dream Explanation
— (Fledgling; Nestling) A fledgling crow in a dream represents poverty, need, separation from one's parents and segregation from one's relatives or clan. If one is experiencing such adverse conditions in wakefulness, then seeing a fledgling crow in a dream means satisfaction of one's needs and reunion with his family. When the egg hatches and the
crow comes out of it, the parents shy away from their fledgling and remain distant from the nest. Then Allah Almighty will provide the nestling crow with various types of flies to eat from. Once the
crow's feathers grow, the parents will return to their nest and care for their
until it commences to fly.

A Newborn
Girl Dream Explanation

Gargoyle - Or
Gutter Dream Explanation
— The gargoyle symbolizes a companion, sometimes well known; girls—free, slave, or servant—the boys that look after the place; relief, for it brings about relief by draining rainwater's; the messenger; and the honest person who never betrays or fails anyone, but gives everyone his due.
• Seeing gargoyles or drainage facilities but no rainwater therein: Dissension and conspiracies. Every gargoyle alludes to a neck that will be cut.
• Clean water flowing in the drainage facilities: Prosperity and security for the people of the area.
• Troubled or stinking water running in the gargoyles: Ailments and diseases, particularly cold sores, boils, smallpox, and the like.
• Blood flowing in the gargoyles: An enemy will conduct a bloodbath in the area.
• Seeing Meezab Al Rahmah, the Gargoyle of Mercy, in a mosque, a house, or a well-known place should be interpreted as the Zamzam Well (see that name), especially if people benefit from the water flowing from it.
• Standing under Meezab Al Rahmah: Will enjoy God's mercy, particularly if healthy and pure water pours from it. In case the water was troubled, the reverse would apply.
Falling into the Well Dream Explanation

into it means he will be afflicted with grief and sorrow but will eventually witness happiness and joy due to his victory. This is in the light of the story of Hazrath Yusuf (AS).

Falling in deep waters Dream Explanation
— (See Deep waters)
Fall Dream Explanation
in a dream means despair or disappointment, or it could mean a mistake that cannot be covered.
in a dream also means changing conditions from good to bad, or a marriage failure and changing of spouse. It also means changing profession, country or religion.
in a dram also projects the reverse effects and produces positive results if what one falls over is pasture, or if he falls upon a good community or to join a banquet or the like effects, then it may have a positive
. On the other hand,
into the hand of a bad company, or into a beast's den, etcetera, means evil consequences, or it could mean stinginess. If one sees himself
down from the
of his house, and if he breaks an arm or a leg in the dream, then it reflects a psychological distress, adverse financial conditions, breaking of a friendship or it may mean suffering from persecution by the local authorities.
Ceiling Dream Explanation
— A ceiling in a dream represents a well respected person. If it is made of wood, then it represents a fallacious and a deceptive person. If the ceiling looks as if it were going to cave over one's head in a dream, it means being afraid of someone in authority. If consequently some dirt falls over his shirt from the ceiling in the dream, it means that he will receive money in compensation for his pain and sufferings. If the central pillar that holds the ceiling cracks and falls in the dream, it means the death of the man of that house. If the ceiling collapses in the dream, it means the death of the man of that house. If one hides under a
in a dream, it means that he will enter his house and rob his family's belongings. If water is leaking from one's ceiling in a dream, it means crying in that house for the sake of a departed soul or crying because of a sick person in that family. If rain dissolves the ceiling in a dream, it means loss of money and falling-out from grace. If one sees himself standing on the ceiling of his house and cannot come down in the dream, it means his imprisonment. In a dream, the central beam that carries the ceiling represents a hypocrite who supports the business of an alliance of profiteers. Should the central beam break down and fall in the dream, it means that such a person will be removed from his office. If the ceiling falls over someone's head in a dream, it means that punishment and sufferings will befall him too. If one sees the stars under the
of his house in a dream, it means that his ceiling may actually cave-in. (Also see Cave-in)
Home Dream Explanation
— The distinction is very vague in Arabic between the words dar and bayt, both
"house" or "home." But after consulting a knowledgeable colleague (a Moroccan ambassador and man of letters), the author assumes that dar is more likely to mean a house as a structure or an apartment block and bayt a room, an apartment, or simply home. However, in the ancient Arab texts the writer often jumps from one
to another, and I have taken real pain trying to disentangle them, as usual. Home symbolizes the man's wife sheltered under his
and to whom he goes, whence the expression "He went home." Therefore, home and wife are synonyms. The door is her vagina or her face, the closet or the safe a maiden, like the dreamer's daughter, whom he does not penetrate, as they are covered or hidden places in which he does not sleep. The servants quarters symbolize the servant (s). The place where cereals are stored is the mother, who used to keep the dreamer alive and let him grow by feeding him milk. The toilet represents those servants who are in charge of cleaning and washing or the dreamer's wife, whom he embraces and penetrates when isolated, i.e., away from his children and the rest of the household.
• Looking from the kowwa (a kind of small window in old houses): The dreamer is in the habit of contemplating his wife's vagina or ass.
• Seeing a large private apartment made of clay or concrete in one's home that was not there before: A good woman will enter the house. If the apartment is plastered or made of bricks, an obscene and hypocritical woman will appear.
Chandelier Dream Explanation
— In a dream, a chandelier represents a person of firm and resolute standing. The
of a chandelier means death or
prices for that year.
Fledgling Dream Explanation
— (See
Nestling Dream Explanation
— (See
Planet Dream Explanation
— The planets symbolize rulers, scholars, notables, and noble or rich people. Small planets that emit a weak light represent the slaves, nannies, and public. Planets associated with winter mean trouble and worries. Summer planets herald welfare and nice living.
• Bright planets assembled at the dreamer's house: Leaders will meet at his place.
• Dull planets assembled at the dreamer's house: Nobles will meet at the dreamer's place for some tragic matter.
• Seeing plenty of planets at one's place: The dreamer will have plenty of children.
• Seeing a bright and shining planet: Joy and happiness, and people will turn to the dreamer for help.
• Planets coming together to shed light: The dreamer will travel and earn money or return from a trip in high spirits.
• Observing a huge twinkling planet: Welfare, influence, and knowledge.
• Holding a planet in one's hand: The dreamer will be blessed with an honest son.
• Holding small planets: Fame and influence.
• Stealing a planet: The dreamer will steal something valuable.
• A gigantic planet falling: Death of a chief.
• Planets disappearing from the sky: (1) If the dreamer is rich, money will go. (2) If he is poor, he will die.
• Seeing a planet on one's head: The dreamers will become famous and have an edge over others by serving a noble person.
• Riding on a planet: Benefits, welfare, power, influence, and leadership.
• Planets under the ceiling: (1) Home will be destroyed (as, the home having no
anymore, the planets could be seen from within the house). (2) The owner of the house will die.
• Eating planets: The dreamer is eating up people's money and destroying them, except if he is a scientist or an astronomer, in which case it would mean that he will do something great and be better off. The crowd eating planets means death.
• Swallowing planets without chewing them: (1) Noble people will mingle in the dreamer's business and secrets. (2) The dreamer will die.
• Planets falling: The dreamer will lose his hair and become bald.
• A planet
in a place: A tragedy will befall a notable in that place.
• Planets
and sprinkling: (1) Death of great kings. (2) War in which many soldiers will perish.
• Small planets falling: Death of unknown, weak, or persecuted people.
• Seeing planets during the day: Scandals, major events, and catastrophes.
• Seeing the morning planet: A harbinger of marriage. Seeing it at one's place on a dark night means that the dreamer himself will get married, and vice versa.
• Becoming a planet: The dreamer will get rich.

If the Hatboro-Horsham school board hikes the property tax rate in 2013-2014, it won't be above the state-imposed cap.
The board voted unanimously Monday to approve a resolution informing the state it intends to keep any increases to 1.7 percent or below, the limit before exceptions or referendum come into play.
Although the board won't see budget figures for the first time until next month, Robert A. Reichert, director of business affairs for the district, said he is confident of staying below the cap. The district has never sought exceptions or been forced into a referendum, he said.
"When the smoke clears, we'll be under the index again," said Reichert. "The board does not want to put any additional burdens on the taxpayer. Over the years we've developed proven methodologies for reducing costs while maintaining our educational and operational programs."
Under the district's or $50 a year for property owners in Hatboro and $75 a year for those in Horsham. The district's property tax rate currently is 25.410 mills. Two years ago, property taxes went up 1.4 percent.
A mill is $1 in tax for every $1,000 of a property's assessed value.
Like all school districts in Pennsylvania, Hatboro-Horsham is facing a huge spike in pension costs over the next few years. Health insurance, utilities, and special education costs will continue to drive the expense side of the budget, said Reichert.
The distrtict also expects to begin negotiaitons with the Hatboro-Horsham Education Association on a new teacher contract. the current deal expries on June 30.
"We'll have to plan accordingly," he said.
Hatboro-Horsham to Keep Tax Hike Below 1.7%

If the Hatboro-Horsham school board hikes the property tax rate in 2013-2014, it won't be above the state-imposed cap.

Focus on Family Defends Defense of Marriage Act
The leader of a Colorado Springs organization was on Capitol Hill this week hoping to defend the Defense of Marriage Act. The 1996 law, which defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman is the focus of a new effort to repeal.
Opponents of the Defense of Marriage Act hope to do away with it in favor of a Respect for Marriage Act. That bill took its first step toward passage at a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee where Thomas Minnery of the Christian ministry Focus on the Family said repealing DOMA could have some serious consequences.
"To place the issue of marriage, once again, into the hands of judges and to take the issue of marriage out of the hands of people who have already spoken so clearly, in so many states," says Minnery.
The Respect for Marriage Act is endorsed by President Obama and has broad Democratic support in the Senate, but is unlikely to gain much traction in the Republican-controlled House.

The West Hartford Youth Football League (WHYFL) continued their 2012 season on another spectacular fall day of football Sunday afternoon, Sept. 23, at Sterling Field, with a full slate of games at the Mighty Mite (7-8 year olds), Pee Wee (9,10, and 11 year olds), Midget (12 year olds), and Pony (13 year olds) divisions.
Macca Plumbing Cowboys 31 - Spine & Sports Medicine Associates Steelers 6
Jack Kennedy, Nick Urso, and Jack Correia led the Cowboy rushing attack en route to a 31-6 victory over the Steelers Sunday at Sterling Field.
The Cowboys took the opening kickoff and scored the first touchdown of the game with a 15-yard run by Jack Kennedy. Two more touchdowns were scored by the Cowboys before the end of the first half. The last one a nice 10-yard run by Nick Urso.
The Steelers received the ball to start the 2nd half and drove the length of the field capped off with a touchdown by Drew Taylor. The Cowboys responded with two more touchdowns. One punched in by Jack Correia. The other on a long zig-zagging run by Jack Kennedy following a Nick Urso interception.
Steelers standouts were Drew Taylor, Dylan Swift and Jay McNamara. Cowboys standouts were Jack Correia, Ben Woerlen, Matthew Sampt and Chase Fountain.
Center Orthodontics Browns 20 - Kenneth Namnoum Jets 0
The Center Orthodontics Browns and Kenneth Namnoum Jets met for the first time this season and this time, the Browns came out the victor 20-0. The teams were evenly matched, both teams played with all their hearts and both teams played with unbelievable determination. The Browns and Jets moved the football with precision and skill. Three offensive plays and two defensive stances led the Browns.
The next meeting of these two great teams will be nothing less than spectacular.
The Browns received the opening kickoff and the Jets' defense held strong, forcing a turnover on downs as defensive end Tommy LaSpada, linebacker Aidan Dorian, and cornerback Jonny Robinson stopped the Browns' initial rushing attack.
The Browns later scored on a 12-yard run by Dajuan Banks to push the Browns to a 6-0 lead. The Jets responded with a methodical ground game behind strong blocking from offensive lineman Sam Rosa, Ben Brockway, Nathan Gallo, and Robinson. The Jets leveraged rushes from quarterback D.J. Romano, halfbacks Wyatt Reid and Aidan Dorian, and LaSpada to convert first down, after first down, only to be stopped on the one yard line by a stingy group of Brown defenders led by defensive end Chuck Blanchard and cornerback John Staunton.
The Browns started their next drive from their own one yard line, and the Jets' defense yet again held strong, at one point tackling Browns full back Patrick Schwab in the end zone, only to have him extend the nose of the ball forward to avoid a safety. The teams entered the half with the Browns leading 6-0.
The second half included two more scores from the Browns. A 30-yard run by Matt Farber and a six-yard run by Eli Salomons. The Browns finally converted for extra points - a two-point a pass from Jack Brown to Dajuan Banks. The Jets again moved the ball downfield for most of the half, but were unable to put up points. Defensively, the Jets completely shut down the Browns inside run, as Dorian continually met Browns' full back Schwab at the line of scrimmage for minimal gains.
The Browns received strong play from Jack Brown, Eli Salomons, Dajuan Banks. The Jets received strong contributions from Charles Dowd, Joe Sabia Troy Griffith, and Marcus Bjarke.
These two teams meet again in just a few short weeks. Mark this next meeting as a "Must See"!
JT Ghamo 49ers 20 – Edward Connors Insurance Patriots 18
The JT Ghamo 49ers turned away an Edward Connors Insurance Patriots' two point conversion with no time on the clock to hold on to a hard fought 20-18 win Sunday afternoon at Sterling Field.
It was a perfect day for football, pitting two previously undefeated teams who played a very exciting game that was decided on the last play of the game. The 49ers started off the scoring on their first possession of the game, capped off by a 7 yard touchdown run by little Jack Tousignant. The point after was well defended by the Patriots defense resulting in no extra point.
The two teams fought hard for positive field position and the next 49er points came off of a blocked punt by Zeus Woods, recovered by little Jack Tousignant in the endzone. The two point conversion was successful on a pass from Todd Cravedi to Gabe Salomons. The Patriots came back with a vengeance and scored on their possession after a fumble recovery. The Patriots score was by Dillon Bent on a nifty run into the end zone. The first half ended with the score 14-6.
The opening of the second half was just as exciting as the first half. The 49ers scored first on a 13-yard run by Gabe Salomons with great blocking by Mack Phillips and Gideon Botnick, extending the 49ers' lead to 20-6.
The Patriots played like a team on a mission by taking the ensuing kickoff back for a touchdown to bring the game back within reach. The extra point attempts for both teams were unsuccessful putting the score at 49ers 20, Patriots 12.
The Patriots would not rest there. With a back and forth battle between the two Pee Wee teams, the 49ers were unable to score again to seal the game. The Patriots on the other hand, took full advantage and drove down to score a touchdown on the very last play of regulation by Silas Bridges making the score 20-18. There was no time left on the clock so the Patriots had one final attempt to score a two point conversion to tie the game. The play was exploded by Zeus Woods, sacking the quarterback to end a very exciting game dropping the Patriots to 1-1 while the 49ers improve to 2-0.
Brewer Paving Packers 14 – Wealth Management Group of North America, LLC Titans 0
On a fantastic Sunday afternoon the Packers met the Titans for what was expected to be another hard fought game and the boys on both sidelines did not disappoint.
The Packers started off the game on defense and after allowing a first down and some good yardage by Titan running back Cam Wilson, they took control of the ball with an interception and 15-yard touchdown return by Peter Steinle.
With the Titans on their heels and dug in, they stopped the Packers who turned the ball over on downs. While the Titans were proving to be a disciplined defense, the Packers were settling in on defense in their own right thanks to their defensive front lead by Larry Womack, Gabe Hernandez, Myles Sierra, Julian DeCampos, Devonte DeLeon and Hugh Wells. Other Packers like Nick Mascolo, Marcus Ramsey and Patrick Hemingway also filled in at times to make an impressive impact. With several tackles behind the line of scrimmage, along with sacks by Nolan Tibball and Wells, the Packers dug in and were biding their time until they could roll on offense. That time came at the end of the second quarter when the Packers were able to methodically move the ball down field with strong runs by running backs Tibball, Steinle and Pearce Cannon. The marched all the way to the 2-yard line, only to turn the ball over with a fumble. With the half soon ending, both teams proved that defense was going to be the deciding factor in the second half.
In the second half the Packers received the kick, and after good return yardage by Cannon, their offense settled in. With runs by Tibbal and Steinle and a key catch by Wells from Zack Cohen, the Pack finally broke the tie with a powerful TD run by Tibball. Wells pulled down a 2-point conversion pass from Cohen to take an 8-point lead on this first series of the second half. The Packers defense then took over and were successful in stopping the Titans with more strong defensive line play. Then, on a nice punt return by Tibball the now warmed up Packer offense went to work and powered the ball behind a resurgent offensive line consisting of Jack McHale, Womack, Ean Tyler, DeCampos, DeLeon, Wells and Jack Ledwith. Tibball scored his second TD of the day behind his big offensive line. With a failed point after run the Packers took control into the 4th quarter with a 14-0 lead.
Later in the 4th quarter the Packers defense sealed the game with Steinle's second interception of the afternoon. The Titans should be commended for their strong play all afternoon by players like Max Leland, Dario Laraia, Aarik Rochester and Joey Lemieux. Neither team gave up and should be commended for their sportsmanship and pride. There were no losers on Field A after the 3:00 game on Sunday.
Walter Hussey Giants 46 - Venora Electric Vikings 39
In a classic duel, on a brilliant fall day, the Walter Hussey Giants prevailed by the skin of their teeth 46-39 over a valiant Venora Electric Viking squad.
Otis Donaldson returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown and staked the Giants to a quick 7-0 lead. Sean Clifford quickly responded for the Vikings, narrowing the Giant lead to 7-6.
Donaldson scored on the Giants' next possession, dashing around the left end for his second score which pushed the Giant lead to 14-6. Alex Dobbins scored on a QB sneak for the Vikings to bring the score to 14-13.
Jeff LaRosa scored the next two touchdowns for the Giants – the first on a long run, followed by an interception return which pushed the Giant lead to 27-13. Clifford later scored to draw the Vikings within 27-19 entering the half.
The Vikings opened the second half with a quick sore as Clifford ran by the Giant defense to cut the score to 27-25. The Giant offense stalled on the ensuing possession, and the Vikings responded with a Clifford dash to give the Vikings their first lead 31-27.
Donaldson later took a screen pass and turned it into a 40-yard TD to push the Giants back on top 34-31. Clifford was determined to respond, later scoring again to push the Vikings back on top 39-34.
LaRosa leveraged the no huddle offense and marched the Giants down field and eventually scored on a brilliant rollout to make it 40-39 Giants.
The Giants defense finally held the Vikings and forced a turnover on downs. LaRosa sealed the game with one last score to account for the 46-39 final.
Sean Clifford's five touchdowns and 200+ yards rushing, and a touchdown from Alex Dobbins and two-point conversion from AJ Guevara accounted for the Viking scoring against a stingy Giants defense. The Vikings received strong play from halfback AJ Guevera who led the way for Clifford with fantastic lead blocking. Hats off to the offensive line of Tim Cotter, Michael Pollack, Neil Gustufason, Brock Pizzoferratto, Ryan Venora, John Doar and Brennan Ravenberg - who fired-out off the line, stayed with their blocks, and paved the way for big plays in this close game. Tight ends Cooper Silver and Sean Guevara played exceptional with difficult assignments and reeled in catches providing hard fought first downs when needed most. The Vikings defense played well with Luke Wilson coming up big at safety with great coverage against the Giants deep throwing routes. Christian St. Juste in his debut at linebacker came up with big tackles against a hard charging Giants offense.
Outstanding players for the Vikings included Clifford, Alex Dobbins, and Tim Cotter. Standing out for the Giants, were Jeff LaRosa and Otis Donaldsson, who were truly a dynamic duo that were unstoppable when it mattered most.
Sinatro Agency One Wildcats 30 - Eastern Rehabilitation Network Chargers 0
Week three brought the undefeated Wildcats and Chargers together to determine the lead in the WHYFL Midgets standings in a much anticipated contest.
The Chargers received the opening kickoff and were immediately greeted by a stingy Wildcats defense that forced a Charger punt. The Wildcats first drive was stopped as the Chargers showed they too were willing to give no ground. Both teams were stymied as their opponents relented little as the first quarter ended scoreless.
Wildcat quarterback Max Main then led his team on a drive downfield and capped it off with a 17 yard touchdown run by David Torres. Main then converted the extra point on a pass to Griffin Smith. The Chargers tried to answer but defensive ends John Kirklin and Cullen McCaffery along with cornerbacks Chris Chukwura and Davis Torres of the Wildcats stopped the attack cold. Back came the Cats offense with Main at the helm. This time they converted on a 4 yard dive by Ryan Orlowski and again converted on another pass to Smith for the extra point. The Wildcat lead at the half was 16 - 0.
The Wildcats opened the half on offense first and received the opening kick. Behind linemen Carter Horton and Elijah Henrique's the Cats were able to complete a 40 yard pass to Mohammed Codjo for another score. It was now up to AJ Fair and Spencer Merkel to answer for the Chargers but the Wildcats continued to play tough defense. Charger QB Grant O'Connor tried to convert on a long pass play but Wildcats safety Michael Farley helped break up the play.
In the fourth quarter, Wildcat center Dominic Mongillo continued his flawless exchanged with QB Main and they converted on the final score of the game on another handoff to Torres, who sprinted 15 yards into the endzone. Final score wildcats 30 Chargers 0.
It was a good physical game as both teams fought hard till the final seconds. This one went to the Wildcats but the Chargers have an explosive offense which will be looking for revenge in week six.
West Hartford Firefighters Association Eagles 38 – West Hartford Rotary Club Raiders 13
Dominic Niman rushed for over 200 yards and scored four touchdowns to lead the West Hartford Firefighters to a 38-13 win over the West Hartford Rotary Club Raiders Sunday at Sterling Field.
Thomas Cravedi stopped a Raider drive with an interception, leading the Eagle Midgets to their first victory. Also playing well for the Eagles Matt Marino, Aiden Stabnick, and Andrew Nicklas.
Wiremold Legrand Chargers 43 – Sinatro Agency One Wildcats 29
Universal Connectivity Raiders 25 - West Hartford Police Association Eagles 14
This meeting of two undefeated teams did not disappoint. The Raiders bested the Eagles in a very close gridiron match which went down to the wire. Both teams had to go deep into their playbooks and adjust play by play to determine this outcome.
The Raiders struck first with a well-thrown pass to Kevin Vaughan who received the pass in full stride and jaunted into the end-zone. The points after were added by Declan Flaherty rolling out to the right and finding no receiver sprinted past the goal line.
The Eagles then took over on the ensuing kickoff and systematically marched down the field behind the strong accurate arm of Burke Martindale and his talented receiver corps led by Sam LeFante.
Andrew Cravedi then took the ball outside and with plenty of defenders in pursuit was able to muscle his way to pay dirt. The point after attempt was unsuccessful. The first quarter ended with the Raiders up 7-6.
The Eagle defense anchored by Brandon Beecher and LJ Luba on the ends forced the Raiders to look elsewhere for yards. A forced pass drifted high through the air looking like an Eagle kill but it was Raider Joe Morrissey that made an acrobatic catch saving the interception. However the ball was turned over when the Raiders failed to convert.
The Eagles were on the move again completing accurately thrown mid yardage passes when Raider Sean Keating came sprinting out of thin air to intercept. A well-orchestrated execution of plays and good clock management allowed the Raiders to score once more before the half on a 5 yard run by John Lagoy ending the first half score at 13-6.
The Eagles came soaring back in the second half scoring on an up the middle dive by their fullback #75 followed by a two point pass conversion giving them the lead. In the fourth another Flaherty to Vaughan corner route moved the Raiders back into the lead and finally an Alex Haggerty off-tackle run finished the scoring. Both teams played extremely well and are to be congratulated.

Times West Virginian
Chad Fowler has been named the assistant athletic director for development at Fairmont State University, Director of Athletics Tim McNeely announced Wednesday.
This newly created position is responsible for developing and implementing the strategy for and managing all advancement and development activities for the Department of Athletics, including serving as liaison to the Fairmont State Athletic Association (FSAA) and to the Fairmont State Foundation for athletics-related fundraising plans and concerns. Fowler will begin his duties at FSU on July 1.
"Chad is a great addition to our staff at Fairmont State," McNeely said. "He understands athletics and is passionate about it, and he combines that with a great business and financial sense. There are a lot of opportunities for Chad to make a direct and immediate impact here, and I have no doubt that he will be successful.
"This is a very important position for us at FSU," McNeely continued. "Private funds are paramount in helping us take the department of athletics to new heights. We are very fortunate to have the support of Dr. (Maria) Rose (FSU president) and the board of governors in launching this position, and to have someone like Chad in this role."
Fowler comes to Fairmont State after spending the last decade in pharmaceutical sales. He most recently was a senior customer sales representative at Merck, consistently ranking among the top 20 percent in the country and garnering top rankings within his district in Charlotte, N.C. Prior to that, he spent three years as a territory sales manager for Mylan Bertek in Charlotte garnering numerous sales awards and recognition during that time.
Fowler began his professional career in 1996 with the NBA's Charlotte Hornets. He spent two years as an assistant director for community relations where he helped service programs and charity fundraisers in conjunction with area organizations. He also helped in implementing the largest "Stay In School" program in the NBA with more than 58,000 middle school students.
He then moved on to become a sponsor services manager with the Hornets for four years. He was responsible for managing sponsorship contracts in excess of $3 million and sold promotional concepts to clients. He was in charge of creating sponsorship proposals, directed in-store promotional items and managed several special events for the organization.
"I'm delighted and honored to be working at Fairmont State University," Fowler said. "This is an opportunity of a lifetime. Not only do I get to work for an outstanding university, but I get to do so in my home state. Although this will be a challenge, it's a challenge I look forward to and welcome.
"I'm excited about the vision Dr. Rose and Tim McNeely have for Fairmont State University athletics. I'll be working with them to help fulfill that vision."
A Bridgeport native, Fowler is a 1994 graduate of West Virginia University with a degree in sports management.

Attracting money without lifting a finger is stress-free wealth generation. All wealth you could possibly want is within. Reach out your mental hand and take it.
Some action might be required to accumulate wealth but if you watch your vibe and align yourself properly, the accumulation of wealth feels effortless. Like coasting through the day and attracting cash on auto-pilot.
The aligning part is key. Watch how you feel before every single act of the day. Your feelings dictate how easily you attract money, or how easily you block it.
Attracting Money without Lifting a Finger
1 - Meditate
Meditation helps you dissolve blocks around money, which allows you to tune into abundance. Meditating helps you observe your feelings around wealth. Beliefs or limiting beliefs pop up in your mind as money is discussed. Most beliefs are buried deep within your being. Meditating helps these feelings arise, so you can face, embrace and release the emotions.
Sit still. Follow your breathing. Watch your attention fade, watch your feelings, thoughts, impulses, desires. Bring your attention gently but firmly back to your breathing. This trains you to observe your thoughts and feelings, instead of being held captive by your thoughts and feelings.
2 - Visualize
Visualizing makes you a magnet to your predominant mental picture. You choose to picture wealth throughout the day or poverty, and your predominant results mirror your predominant mental picture. Find a quiet spot. Still your mind. Allow a vision of wealth to arise on the screen of your mind.
Picture yourself as a prospering cash gifting sponsor. Feel yourself making money. Feel the joy of living an abundant life. The emotions create the experience. The emotions attract to you the people, circumstances and ideas which manifest your vision.
3 - Affirm
Repeat statements to yourself that you are abundant, you are wealthy, you are prosperous. Any idea you accept as true becomes pictured on the screen of space. Affirmations are a wonderfully simply mental programming tool. Your belief system is based on ideas you repeat to self persistently. Affirming overrides your current programming, helping you create your life to order.
Affirm for 20 minutes daily. Slow down the wheels of your mind. Relax. Repeat an idea to yourself either out loud or in silence. Feel your way through each word. Inject emotions into the statement. Your emotions are the great attractive or repelling force.
4 - Express Gratitude
Gratitude is a conduit to good. Expressing gratitude attracts to you all forms of wealth, including money. See the good in things, the good in things flow to you. Expressing gratitude takes a few moments and the results are incredible.
Set aside time each day to bring yourself into a grateful space. Express thanks for all the money you have. Express thanks for the money you are receiving. Express gratitude for your health, your family, your friends. Grateful people never find their cupboards bare. Feeling grateful for things makes you a magnet to good things.
5 - Rest
This goes against the grain, I know. Work, work, work to acquire a fortune. Here's a secret: all you want, including money, comes to you. You are a magnet, continually attracting or repelling. If you want to attract more money learn to pull back for hours each day. Relax. Work less, but work light. Work more intelligently, then get off the lap top, go for a run, spend some time with the family.
Resting up each day boosts your creativity. Most people do not act intelligently as they work from a place of force. No mindfulness, no light nature around their work. This crowd is not receptive to prospering ideas because their strained and striving vibe repels creative ideas, and money. Rest up. Take frequent breaks. Sleep for 8 hours a night. Rest and prosper.
Attracting Money without Lifting a Finger - Summary
Meditate to become more aware of your feelings. Visualize and affirm to attract money. Express gratitude for your riches and rest to attract prospering ideas. Attracting money without lifting a finger reduces stress and helps you prosper in an enjoying fashion.
