Nobody asked me but:
1. Steve Spurrier has a chance to make history (again) at the Georgia Dome: The No. 1 story line heading into Saturday's SEC championship game is whether or not No. 1 Auburn can stay undefeated and give the conference a shot at its fifth straight BCS title.
The No. 2 story line is whether or not Auburn quarterback Cameron Newton, with everything swirling around him, can lead his team to a victory and, in the process, lock up the Heisman Trophy.
Almost lost in this game is that South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier has a chance to win his seventh SEC championship, exactly 10 years after he won his sixth and final one as the head coach at Florida. Spurrier's seven SEC titles would move him past Vince Dooley and John Vaught on the all-time list. Spurrier would be second only to Bear Bryant who won 14 SEC championships (13 at Alabama, 1 at Kentucky).
For the first time at the SEC championship game, Spurrier is here but is not the headliner. I'll bet he likes that.
2. TCU is making a good move to the Big East: It's really a no-brainer. From the start of the 2012 season Gary Patterson and the Horned Frogs will know they are good enough to win the Big East and go to a BCS bowl game. No debate. No having to ask for respect. Win your league and you go. Now TCU has to get serious about men's basketball and the Big East has to figure out how to stage a conference basketball tournament with 17 teams. Understand that the Big 12 (now at 10 teams) was never going to invite TCU to be a part of the club. The Horned Frogs had to step out and do the best thing for their school.
3. I'm sorry that Boise State lost. I was hoping that Boise would go to the Rose Bowl and somehow wind up playing Ohio State in what would be known as "The Little Sisters of the Poor Bowl." Last week Ohio State president Gordon Gee (the former president at Vanderbilt) said the teams in the Big Ten and SEC deserved a shot at the BCS championship over Boise because "We don't play the Little Sisters of the Poor." For about 48 hours the media went just a little batty and then Boise State lost to Nevada Friday night. It was on the same day that Auburn came back from a 24-0 deficit to beat Alabama and Oregon beat Arizona with a strong second half.
So at the end of the day was Gee right? Probably, but I am reminded of something said by the late, great Lewis Grizzard: "Damn, brother, I don't believe I would have told that." You may think it. It might even be true. But you don't say it.
4. Jon Gruden to Miami? Jon Gruden? Did I miss something? What is the facsination with Jon Gruden? Won a Super Bowl. Dynamic personality. Loved it when he sat down with the quarterbacks (Tebow, McCoy, etc.) in the summer of 2009 and gave them the unvarnished truth. It was compelling television and I watched every minute of it. But somebody has to tell me how Gruden's skill set translates to college football, which is a completely different game. There is no doubt that Miami will make a big splash and win the press conference if it happens. But I've seen too many guys come from pro football (Charlie Weis comes to mind) who believe they are so much smarter than everybody and will be able to just out-scheme people to wins. They believe they can flash a Super Bowl ring and the recruits come running. It doesn't work like that.
And let's get this on the record. Miami hired Randy Shannonto clean up the program and he did. While other schools were living on the police blotter, Shannon instilled discipline. Miami's graduation rate under Shannon was second only to Duke in the ACC. He didn't win enough games, I get that. But if you're a Miami fan you need to thank that man for what he did for your school as a player, assistant coach, and head coach.
5. Vanderbilt needs to get serious about football: First of all, Bobby Johnson did a helluva job at Vanderbilt with the resources he had. Yeah, he went 2-10 his last season but under Johnson Vanderbilt was consistently competitive and a tough out. As the years pass Vanderbilt fans will realize how good Johnson really was. Now Robbie Caldwell, who replaced Johnson last summer, is gone. Vanderbilt has some decisions to make. First of all, spend the money to get a top flight coach and give him the money to hire a top of line staff. In other words, spend the money necessary to give Vanderbilt a reasonable shot. Do that for five years and if it doesn't work out, you can scale back on the next coaching hire. It's like Vanderbilt wants to commit to football but doesn't want to commit at too high a level because it would be, well, unseemly.
But in order to compete in the SEC, you gotta be all in. Vanderbilt ain't close to being all in when it comes to football.

Not sure why the Barners are excited about this news. They have been screaming all along that the entire Cam story was false. Well, the NCAA has found his father guilty, just not Cam, AT THE MOMENT. Nowhere in the NCAA statement yesterday did they suggest that the investigation was nearing an end, which it would have said had that been case.
Still looks like the bottom is eventually going to fall out on the Barners.

Why does Gary Patterson not get offers to leave TCU? Why can't TCU be just a football school like ND does in basketball?
Gordon Gee at least didn't punch out a Clemson linebacker.
Spurrier will be the headline before it is over. He cannot come to Georgia without taking a shot at something, just not in him.

Back in March 2010, I predicted that
Mike Leach would end up at either Maryland or Miami.
Why Maryland:
Mike Leach is very clsoe personal friends with Kevin Plank, Chairman of UnderArmour Corporation, a Maryland alumnus and former Maryland football player.
When Leach left Lubbock, TX he immedaitely went to Key West where he has been for months. Leach is close friends with Donald Trump who strongly recommmend to Miami to hire Leach way back in 2006, instead of promoting Shannon.
Well, here we are, 4 years later, in the post-Shannon era.
Maryland has already agreed to give Ralph Friedgen
one more year at Maryland.
So, its now or never for Miami.
Miami will hire Leach…very soon.
Trump is gonna make sure of it this time. Trump has even reportedly sent a written note to the Miami presdient to hire Leach immediately.
Miami Athletics DESPARATELY needs LOTS of money,
and Trump has plenty of it.
If Miami hires Leach, Trump will likely donate tens of millions
of BADLY needed dollars to the Miami Athletics program.
Jon Gruden cant do that for Miami.
So long Gruden. Hello Mike Leach.

Help me to understand Scam is ineligible for one day(a non game day at that) because his father damaged his amateur status but now it's ok? what a pile of _ _ _ _
December 1st, 2010
4:28 pm
The NCAA has just legalized pay for play.
Let's go along with the NCAA and assume Cam Newton truly had zero knowledge of his father's actions hard to believe but I'll play, and if that IS in fact the case what a turd for a father but that's another story.
What the NCAA has basically done is tell schools, boosters, and player families that as long as the players themselves have no knowledge of their father, brother, coach or whoever recieving money or extra benefits then it's ok. I have a feeling that we're going to have more Cam Newton scenarios coming up in the future.
Dad: "Son, you REALLLY should go to ___________University. I think it would be in the family's errr YOUR best interest" (insert wink & nod)
Fast forward to next fall–Son comes home for the weekend.
Dad:"Hey son, here's a few hundred bucks for some walking around $$$"
Son: "Thanks Dad! Heeeyyy, where did you get this $$$ I thought times were tough"
Dad: "Oh uhhhh, well I won it playing cash 3 yeah that's it, and it looks like I'll be getting a bonus from work next month so if you need more just let me know." (insert another wink & nod)
And if there weren't already enough Cecil Newtons around already, the NCAA just created a heck of a lot more.
December 1st, 2010
4:51 pm
Is everyone forgetting that Cecil is the one who picked Auburn for Cam. Why would a man who would shop his kid around for money suddenly turn it down to go to a different school for free ?
December 1st, 2010
4:56 pm
You're right. This eligibility ruling seems to fly in the face of both the NCAA and SEC bylaws regarding student-athlete amateur status. With that said, the press release makes it clear that the investigation is ongoing and that Cam's eligibility could yet be revoked pending the final results of the inquiry.
I know that this case is special because of the SEC Championship and BCS Championship ramifications, but if this sort of player shopping is allowed to stand then the NCAA should just stop pretending that collegiate athletics are to be considered "amateur" any longer.
December 1st, 2010
5:04 pm
I just heard that USC plans to leverage this eligibility ruling in their ongoing NCAA appeal regarding the Reggie Bush case. Turns out Reggie didn't know about the money that his parents received.
Will Reggie get his Heisman Trophy back?

December 1st, 2010

Cam got paid off, they hid the money, so the NCAA had to declare him eligible–otherwise, sharpton and jackson would have been protesting and suing for big money for their foundations.
December 1st, 2010
5:32 pm
USC Freshman Dillion Baxter is declared inelegible and suspended for 1 game because he took a ride in a golf cart accross campus; Cam Newton is rulled ineligible for less than a day/no games for pay for play. Huh?
December 1st, 2010
5:48 pm
I didn't even know who Logan Young was when I signed with Alabama. I sure didn't know about any money changing hands. I guess that means Bama will be getting some extra scholarships for the next few years to make up for the ones they lost for signing me?
December 1st, 2010
5:56 pm
the NCAA is a joke and if reporters don't ask some hard questions they are all Jokers! Cam did not know – that is a joke; he is ineligible one day, and then cleared the next – Joke! Note to all student athletes – let your parents negotiate the deal! NCAA is the JOKE.
December 1st, 2010
6:28 pm
Well, I'll be dam*ed. The NCAA conducted an investigation and made a timely ruling. So, let's some up the various verdicts:
1. Cecil Newton, man of God? He's a greedy dirtball who can't close a deal. Tried to get money for his son's placement, but received no money, and still got banned from Auburn events. "Dad can still watch my games on TV, and when I get my first NFL contract, I'll buy him a new church roof . . . or a new church." Assuming anyone still wants to go to his church. God is not happy with you, sir. You better hope he's the forgiving father of the New Testament, not the vengeful God of the Torah who turn people into pillars of salt.
2. Former Mississippi State Kenny Rogers? Dirtbag. You just got banned from you alma mater's locker room and the cheap seats of Scott Stadium. BTW, the NFLPA just called. Apparently, your NFL agent status is about to be revoked. Whoops.
3. Cam Newton? The luckiest guy on the planet. Money makes people do stupid things, son, and your daddy is one of them. I hope former Gator Cam can keep his nose clean until he decides to declare for the NFL Draft. Please don't disappointt the faith of the Auburn Tigers fabs; they're still feeling burned from 2004.
4. Bobby Lowder? You're still a dirtbag even if you weren't involved in this particular scandal. As my Atlanta Auburn friends always wish: "Don't go away mad, Bobby. Just go away."
5. Gene Chizik? The second luckiest man on the planet. Chhizk's star quarterback, who has a history of petty larceny and alleged academic indiscretions, just dodged the silver bullet that could have ended his college career in disgrace and converted Auburn's magically unexpected 12-0 season into an 0-12 nightmare. For those of you who don't know, Chizik was a walk-on for the Florida Gators in the early 1980s. Hopefully, former Gator Chizik learned something from the late unpleasantness involving Florida and the NCAA caused by his former Gators coach, Charley Pell.
6. Dan Mullen? Happy as a clam. His people did what they were supposed to do when Cecil and Kenny tried to sell Cam to Mississippi State: they listened, and then reported the miscreants to the SEC and NCAA. Coach Mullen, the former Gators offensive coordinator, has had something of an unexpectedly magical season, too. A dirtball former player on the margins of his program has just been banned at no real loss to the Bulldogs program.
7. Steve Spurrier? Lost in all this controversy, the Evil Genius has dethroned his beloved Gators, upset the reigning BCS champion Crimson Tide, thumped the Dawgs and Vols, derfeated his current in-state rival and taken his second set of perennial also-rans to the SEC Championship Game. Does anyone else foolishly believe the former King Gator can't coach in the SEC? And don't think for a moment that the Old Ball Coach doesn't believe he can't beat Auburn—-he's Steve Spurrier, damn it.
8. Urban Meyer? Sure, you lost a potential Heisman candidate as your future quarterback, and your team is 7-5, but look at the bright side. At least, you won't have to bench one of your star players for stealing a computer the week before the SEC championship. That should help keep you from an anxiety attack, right?
Is it just me, or do there seem to be an awful lot of former Gators with something to lose from this mess? Well, that's how I see it anyhow. Either way, a former Gator is going to be the head coach of the 2010 SEC championship football team. We find our silver lining anywhere we can.

Of course, that should read "let's sum up."
Where's the edit button on this damn blog?

Miami would have never contended for a championship under Randy Shannon. But why should their fans expect that anyway? The stadium is always empty and the city of Miami doesn't even support the school. Its time for Miami to just go away….the 80's aren't coming back.

Do you remember the last time a team coached by the Evil Genius played your Tigers in Atlanta? I do. Be very afraid, and tell Gene and Cam to bring their "A" Game.

Vanderbilt's hire, when it comes about 10 days from now, will shock everyone. The most upset will be the coaches of the other 5 SECE teams. Realignment of the East is about to happen. Write it down.
December 1st, 2010
8:39 pm
I'm sure that the Evil Genius still loves his Gators, but from his present vantage point, I'm sure he loves beating them more.
December 1st, 2010
8:44 pm
Could happen, but unless Vanderbilt starts recruiting top-20 classes, a new Commodores coaching staff of Vince Lombardi, the Bear, Knute Rockne and Jesus couldn't do better than an 8-win season. Well, unless that last guy calls in some serious favors from his Dad.
December 1st, 2010
8:46 pm
Seeing your sorry Jackets lose to UGA on Saturday in Athens was fun. Tech really showed up big with about 4,000 fans. What pathetic support, but your coach and team have learned to expect this type of pitiful showing. Watching the basketball Jackets get blown out by a bunch of really smart white boys from Northwestern was priceless. What's the excuse this time: Northwestern has lower academic standards than Tech. I don't think so. Tech just plain sucks in every sport!!
To borrow your phrase, "m," glad it hurts so bad. Now, go back under the rock where you have been hiding.

Greenland is an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark, located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Though physiographically a part of the continent of North America, Greenland has been politically and culturally associated with Europe (specifically Norway and Denmark) for about a millennium. The largest island in Greenland is also named Greenland, and makes up most of the country's land area. All towns and settlements of Greenland are situated along the ice-free coast, with the population being concentrated along the west coast. The northeastern part of Greenland is not part of any municipality, but is the site of the world's largest national park, Northeast Greenland National Park.

I am always receiving requests for information on registered sex offenders in Town so I thought it would be prudent to rerun this particular column. I've also included some ideas on talking to children about personal safety provided by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
I was recently notified that a sex offender moved close by. Could you tell me exactly how is a sex offender classified and how can I find out if there are any other sex offenders living in the area. I have young children and think this information is helpful to parents.
A sex offender is any person who resides, works or attends an institution of higher learning in Massachusetts and who has been convicted of a sex offense, or who has been adjudicated as a youthful offender or as a delinquent juvenile by reason of a sex offense, or a person released from incarceration or parole or probation supervision or custody with the Department of Youth Services for such a conviction or adjudication, or a person who has been adjudicated a sexually dangerous person or a person released from civil commitment on or after Aug. 1, 1981.
Sex offenders are classified according to the degree of dangerousness they pose to the public and their likelihood to re-offend. A Level 1 offender has been classified as a "low risk." A Level 2 offender has been classified as a "moderate risk." A Level 3 offender has been classified as a "high risk."
Before an offender can be finally classified, he/she must be offered the opportunity for a hearing to determine his/her degree of dangerousness and likelihood for re-offense. As a result, information pertaining to a sex offender will not be available to the public unless and until he/she has been given the opportunity for a hearing. Once an offender is finally classified as a Level 2 or a Level 3 Offender, his/her sex offender registry information will be available to the public.
Any member of the public who is at least 18 may request sex offender information. The information will be provided to any person who is seeking the information for his/her own protection or for the protection of a child under the age of 18 or for the protection of another person whom the requesting person has responsibility, care or custody.
A person may request sex offender information by going to the web site of the Sex Offender Registry Board (SORB) www.mass.gov/eopss/agencies/sorb or coming into the police department. After presenting proper identification, the requester must complete a sex offender request form containing the name and address of the requester, reason for the request and date and time of request. Information on Level 3 sex offenders is also posted on the 's web site.

How Do I Teach My Child About Personal Safety? Many parents and guardians feel challenged to keep their children safer in our fast-paced and global society. They may wonder at what age they can begin teaching their children about personal safety.
Unfortunately, "one size" doesn't fit all. A child's ability to understand safety skills and put them into practice is determined not just by age, but also by the child's educational and developmental levels. To truly learn new safety skills, children need to model, rehearse and practice the skills to incorporate them into their daily lives.
Here are some approaches:
Speak to your child in a calm and reassuring way. Fear is not an effective teaching tool; confidence is.
Speak openly about safety issues. If you approach child safety openly, your children will be more likely to come to you with problems or concerns.
Don't confuse children by warning against "strangers." Danger to children is much greater from someone you or they know than from a "stranger."
Teach children that no one has the right to force, trick, or pressure them into doing things they don't want to do.
Practice safety skills by creating "what if" scenarios. An outing to a mall or the park can serve as a chance for children to practice safety skills, such as checking with you before they go anywhere or do anything, and locating adults who can help if they need assistance.
Supervise your children. It is vital to their protection and safety. Children should not be put in the position of making safety choices if they are not old enough or skilled enough to make those choices.
Check out adults who have access to your children. The more involved you are in your child's life, the less likely it is that your child will seek attention from other, potentially dangerous adults.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) has a signature safety publication, Knowing My Rules for Safety, to help parents and guardians teach personal safety skills to children. The rules are simple and concise and provide encouragement and options for children who need an adult's help.
Knowing My Rules for Safety
- I CHECK FIRST with my parents, guardians, or other trusted adults before going anywhere, helping anyone, accepting anything, or getting into a car.
- I TAKE A FRIEND with me when going places or playing outside.
- I TELL people "NO" if they try to touch me or hurt me. It's OK for me to stand up for myself.
- I TELL my trusted adult if anything makes me feel sad, scared, or confused.
Anyone with questions for the Chief's Column may submit them by mail to the Grafton Police Department, 28 Providence Road, Grafton, MA 01519. You may also email your questions or comments to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include an appropriate subject line, as I do not open suspicious email for obvious reasons.

Click on the order button below to download all 4 sessions of the I Want to Change . . . So Help Me, God! study as a Microsoft Word file, developed with Community Christian Church and New Thing Network. You'll receive a Bible-based guide for personal use or group discussion.
Many times what needs to change is something we have not been able to change. We're not talking about something like biting your fingernails or not being on time. In this series we're talking about big problems, the things that hold us back and drag us down: addictions, compulsions, persistent personal problems. These problems are often about overdoing something: overdrinking, overeating, overgambling, overspending, oversexing, overworking, overreacting, overworrying, overcriticizing, over-you-name-it!
God has given us a way to change: confess, repent, obey. These studies will encourage us to let these three words become seared into our hearts and minds so they can bring about change.
Session One
Change What I Say
Change begins with confession.
2 Samuel 11:1–15, 12:1–14; Psalm 51:1–17, 103:11–13
The first study examines how we can change what we say.
Session Two
Change What I Think
We need to change our belief system.
Isaiah 55:7; Ezekiel 18:30–32; Joel 2:13; Acts 7:54–8:3, 9:1–19; 2 Corinthians 11:23–28; 1 Timothy 1:12–14
This study will urge us to make a decision to turn away from our sinful actions and toward God and the person God created us to be.
Session Three
Change What I Do
I can't change unless I obey God.
Ephesians 4:29; 1 Thessalonians 2:7; Hebrews 3:12–14, 10:23–25
This study explores why obeying always involves choosing, through the power of faith, both a no and a yes: the no is what not to do, and the yes is what to do in response to God's Word and direction.
Session Four
Change Where I Go
Connection with a community is essential to change.
Acts 18:1–3, 18–19, 24–28; Colossians 3:16; 1 Thessalonians 5:10–11; Hebrews 10:24–25
This study will demonstrate that we are meant to rely on God's strength and power through the power of authentic biblical community.

DW Diner II: Food worth taking a break for in Manchester
The DW Diner II488 S.Main St., Manchester, 782-5448; www.dwdiner.com
Serving: 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily except Monday.
Pricing: Breakfast averages about $8; lunch and dinner about $10.
Handicapped Accessible
The scores for DW Diner II
Menu: 9/10. For breakfast and lunch only, the menu is vast.
Atmosphere: 10/10. A classic coffee shop, but spacious and sparkling clean (especially the restrooms )
Food: 8/10. A large cut above the normal diner, and better than larger chain restaurants.
Prices: 8/10.
Extras: 10/10.
Total: 95/100
Restaurant Location:
To an America accustomed to drive-through eateries and fast-food solutions, DW Diner provides a respite — time to reflect that this is a meal here, not a mechanized fill-up, and perhaps it's a good idea to slow down and relax for it.
Also worth the trip was the Kielbasa and Eggs breakfast, a tried and true meat-eggs-and-potato meal on a plate that serves to beef up the human physiology for the day ahead: thick slices of well-grilled Polish sausage with eggs and toast, and home fries, hash browns (crispy if you want them) or baked beans.
We tried a burger (of course) and a tuna salad sandwich, and both were well-received. The sandwich and burger menu features varieties of both, with many grilled and melt sandwiches to choose from.
Again, a hearty entree featuring a thick helping of garden fresh tuna lightly mixed with mayonnaise and celery on very fresh and tasty sourdough. It was another half-and-half: Half the sandwich was enough for lunch, and the other half went home for the next day.
Early dinner fare at DW is well presented with Broccoli Fettucini Alfredo, Macaroni and Cheese, Flat Iron Steak, American Chop Suey, Garlic Herb Pasta, Baked Haddock and, of course, Shepherd's Pie, from $7.29 to $11.99.
Top-of-the-line sandwiches include a Pepper Steak Sub, Hot Pastrami, Reuben, Ranch Chicken Wrap, Turkey BLT, Sante Fe Roast Beef and a TBT Melt — hot turkey with bacon, tomato and melted cheese on grilled marble rye.

Foreclosure Crisis Persists, as Families Eagerly Await 'Cramdowns'
March 16
10:52 am

By Roger Bybee
Can we finally stop worrying about themillions of families anxious about being tossed out on the street?
After all, the U.S. economy grew at an impressive 5.9% annual clip in the further quarter. Profits are up. Corporate savings are up. But as the saying goes, statistics can be tortured into confessing just about anything. Robert Reich, the former labor secretary, incisively analyzes what he properly calls the hollow, unproductive economic activity that underlies this "sham recovery."
Still, leading Democrats can be heard trying to make the most out of rapidly declining job losses. Yes, there has been a huge improvement over the last miserable months created by the deregulatory approach of George W. Bush (and his predeceessor) that created the Wall St. meltdown. But a reduction in job losses is hardly an inspiring campaign theme for the 2010 mid-terms.
Worse, complacency about the sham recovery could inhibit the kind of federal action needed to create public jobs on a mass scale and force banks to un-freeze credit to small businesses, and the development of effective federal assistance programs the foreclosure crisis is almost certain to intensify even further in the coming months.
The scope of the foreclosure problem is already much more massive than is commonly understood, and is likely to metastasize in the coming months.
- The daily pace of foreclosures is now occurring at 2.8 million, a 21% rise over 2008 and 120% over 2007, according to a new report from Irvine (Calif.)-based RealtyTrac," reported Business Week.
Analysts increasingly attribute the current wave of foreclosures to continuing high levels of unemployment. In the words of attorney David Lebowitz, who represents homeowners in the hard-hit industrial city of Kenosha, Wis., "We will not start seeing improvement in foreclosure rates until we see improvement in the employment picture."
Another major factor is healthcare cost burdens, which are a factor in almost half of all foreclosures. A 2008 study, called "Get Sick, Get Out," led by Christopher T. Robertson of Harvard Law School, concluded that "half of all foreclosures have medical causes, and we estimate that medical crises put 1.5 million Americans in jeopardy of losing their homes last year."
If the Obama healthcare bill passes this week, one of its most helpful provisions–the prohibition on preexisting conditions–will not provide much aid to hard-pressed families. It turns out that the pre-existing conditions ban will apply only to the young for the next four years, and penalties for insurers violating this rule are disturbingly weak, as documentarian Michael Moore, director of SiCKO" which examined U.S. healthcare, has noted on MSNBC's Countdown.
Moreover, the Obama administration's programs to fight foreclosure have been largely ineffectual. One key provision sought by Obama–giving bankruptcy judges the power to "cramdown" the amount of principal owed by homeowners–was killed thanks to the efforts of conservative Democrats feeling more compassion for banks than families about to lose their homes, like Evan Bayh, whose number one contributor throughout his career was Goldman Sachs.
The move prompted Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin to remark, "And the banks — hard to believe in a time when we're facing a banking crisis that many of the banks created — are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And they frankly own the place."
Neither of two key Obama Administration plans have been even minimally effective in helping families to stay in their homes, reports the Huffington Post's Shahin Nasiripour. Clearly, the cram-down feature would have helped in making both programs more successful. As Nasiripour reports, not a single homeowner has been rescued by one program:
Nearly a year after the Obama administration announced a plan to help up to 1.5 million struggling homeowners modify their second mortgages, not a single homeowner has gotten any assistance.
The program, a part of the administration's $75 billion anti-foreclosure initiative, was supposed to induce mortgage servicers to coordinate payment reductions on additional mortgages when the first mortgage is modified under the administration's Home Affordable Modification Program.
But it's never gotten off the ground.
Another program has provided real help to only one-third of homeowners in trouble, rather than the 75% expected, Nisiripour found:
Only about a third of the homeowners who have successfully completed the trial period of the Obama administration's mortgage modification program have been offered permanent relief, according to new federal data obtained by the Huffington Post.
The conversion rate — about 33 percent — is woefully short of what the Treasury Department had forecast. Treasury thought the rate would be "ranging up to 75 percent," Herbert M. Allison Jr., assistant secretary for financial stability, told the Congressional Oversight Panel in October.
The other two-thirds of homeowners who have gone through the trial program and made the necessary payments remain in limbo. Some of those homeowners — more than 350,000 of them — will ultimately lose out on the kind of relief the administration has repeatedly promised: averting foreclosure through lower monthly payments….
The weakness of the anti-foreclosure programs has angered Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), chairman of House Oversight's Domestic Policy subcommittee, who argued that the Treasury Department isn't displaying nearly as much concern to homeowners as it does to Wall Street.
Treasury has been very slow to use the authority provided by Congress… to help keep homeowners in their homes. And this contrasts with the emergency with which both [the Bush and Obama] administrations have worked to bail out the large financial institutions.
Kucinich states that only one effective solution remains, and that is a government role in forcing lenders to take reductions in the principal that they are demanding. In other words, only "cramdowns" will avert an even larger foreclosure crisis:
I've come to the reluctant conclusion that the only way to accelerate the program and also provide adequate incentives for homeowners who sacrifice to stay in their own homes is through permanent, locally-tailored, unconditional reductions in mortgage principal.
While a sufficient number of Senate Dems earlier blocked the cram-down procedure under which lenders could be forced to sacrifice part of the prinicipal, these conservative Democrats will come under severe new pressures if foreclosures continue—and as the November mid-term elections draw near.

PAX East 2010 has come and gone but plenty of good memories remain. Despite size issues with the venue and some minor logistic flaws in the media design, the first Penny Arcade Expo to hit the East Coast was certainly a widespread success.
Over the course of three days in March 2010 myself and 60,000 other journalists, podcasters, and gamers managed to meet with representatives from companies like Alienware, Galaxy, Patriot Memory, EVGA, NVIDIA, Turbine, Fallen Earth, Wizards of the Coast, Turtle Beach, Tritton, and too many others to name. While chatting with industry folk and establishing new relationships are extremely important when running a website, it was great to finally meet the gamers that work with me every day on LW.
And after nearly two years of working at LW I was finally able to meet a couple of these irreplaceable LW team members in person. To me, that's what gaming and the internet are all about. The idea of interacting and socializing with people, who under different circumstances, you might never have known. (See photo above – From left to right: Raim, Ziss, Sarc)
Countless hours of audio and video were gathered by the LW team at PAX East 2010. Certainly more than could ever be edited for posts. But after sorting through more than one hundred clips, I think I've managed to piece together a video montage. This video re-cap sums up my time at the Penny Arcade Expo on March 26-27 in Boston, MA 2010.
You can find more photos and videos from our PAX East 2010 venture by visiting the Video Game Events area on the brand new LW forums.
See you in Seattle this September for PAX Prime!

Lions release Rayner, Bell
1 Replies | 540 ViewsOn 08/29/2011 01:22 PM in NFL
Rayner was in a battle with veteran Jason Hanson for the kicking duties, but the longtime Lion apparently won out and reportedly received a new contract. Hanson, who will enter his 20th season with the Lions, was hurt last year in a November game against the Jets and Rayner was signed as his replacement.
Bell was signed by the Lions earlier this summer after rookie Mikel Leshoure was lost for the season with a torn Achilles, while Johnson was also signed earlier this month after spending four seasons and starting 35 games with the New York Giants.
Detroit also released defensive lineman Montavious Stanley, wide receivers Demario Ballard and Marcus Harris, linebacker DeJuan Fulghum and tight end Richard Dickson.

For Immediate Release
Zim Schwartze Named Director of Emergency Communications
The City of Springfield has named Zim Schwartze as the new Director of Emergency Communications (911). She replaces Becky Jungmann, who retired.
Schwartze will manage the activities of the emergency communications department, which provides 911 services to 21 emergency response agencies within Greene County. The department is located on the second floor of the state-of-the-art Springfield-Greene County Public Safety Center in Springfield.
"We feel extremely fortunate to have Zim join our team," said City Manager Greg Burris. Her qualifications are tremendous, and she possesses an energy and zeal that will impress our community as they get to know her."
Schwartze comes to Springfield from Columbia, Missouri, where she served the City of Columbia for 20 years, including varied leadership roles in law enforcement, emergency dispatch communications, and emergency management. She has nearly 15 years of supervisory experience, most recently as Director of the Consolidated Emergency Communications Center and Office of Emergency Management in the mid-Missouri area of Columbia/Boone County.
In Columbia, she led a team of telecommunicators that dispatched police, fire and emergency medical services for 11 agencies. She collaborated with many different entities, including city, county, private organizations, businesses, and citizens to launch numerous projects and implement technology advancements.
"I learned the value of treating people right and working closely with the community early in my career through the philosophy of community policing," she said. "I'm very excited to be given this opportunity to work with the professional telecommunicators, city and county officials, as well as serve the Springfield-Greene County community."
Schwartze holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Industrial Engineering and a Master's Degree in Public Administration from the University of Missouri-Columbia. She is a graduate of the 204th class of the School of Police Staff and Command (SPSC) through the Northwestern University Center for Public Safety. In addition, she is also a graduate of the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia, Session #231. Schwartze currently serves on the FBI National Academy Associates Kansas/Western Missouri Chapter Executive Board and is the President-Elect.
Schwartze has been an adjunct instructor for the Law Enforcement Training Institute (LETI) at the University of Missouri-Columbia since 1995. She teaches various subjects to include community policing, crime prevention, torts/civil rights and interpersonal communications. Schwartze is also an adjunct instructor for the Northwestern University Center for Public Safety in Evanston, Illinois since 2006 and teaches subjects that include resource analysis, allocation and deployment.
She has served on numerous boards over the years and is very involved with Special Olympics-Missouri. Her anticipated start date is mid-January. Her annual salary will be $94,135.

This randomized, stratified, descriptive, cross-sectional survey design used Campinha-Bacote's Inventory for Assessing the Process of Cultural Competence Among Healthcare Professionals–Revised (IAPCC-R) to assess the cultural competence of a convenience sample of 170 randomly selected baccalaureate nursing (BSN) program faculty. The mailed survey also assessed factors that were helpful in increasing comfort levels in caring for individuals from other cultures and gathered self-report data on cultural content in faculty academic preparation and current employing programs. Results indicated BSN faculty were culturally competent. Faculty teaching in the states with the most immigrants were more culturally competent than were faculty teaching in the states with the least immigrants. Immersion or working in another culture were the most frequently cited methods of increasing cultural comfort.

Eff 3.0 is out, a functional language with first-class computational effects and handlers (an alternative to monads) (math.andrej.com)
submitted 2 years ago by andrejbauer
[–]kamatsu 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago
How does Eff compare to disciple? I'm aware that there are differences in approach, but it sounds like they're both investigating the same space.
[–]andrejbauer[S] 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago
Well, disciple has an effect system which we hope eff to get in the future. Eff has handlers which disciple does not. Eff is pure (except for the I/O effect instance std), while disciple has built-in destructive update. In eff you can define computational effects (like monads in haskell) which have the same status as the builtin I/O. Can you define new computational effects in disciple? Disciple uses call-by-value (by default), while eff is "fine-grain call-by-value", although that's a bit of a simplification because handlers also control execution.
[–]pigworker 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago
I'm very pleased to see this and I look forward to reading it in more detail. I'd like to see a move towards algebraic effects in Haskell. Whilst I still want to be able both to write effectful programs which do stuff to get values and to write pure control operators that plumb together computations, I'd cheerfully pay more notation for the latter to make the former cheaper. The separation of effect invocation from effect handling might well be a big help in that respect: it's easy to combine signatures of operations; the interaction of their semantics is a separable concern.
[–]bhurt42 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago
What I'm interested in is how does computational effects and handlers interact with, for example, STM? IMHO, STM is the best demonstration of why monads are important for all programming languages, and not just something Haskell is forced to do simply because it's lazy. Monads, and preventing side effects, is why implementing STM in Haskell was a long weekend for SPJ (maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but not much) and it succeeded wildly, but Microsoft could dedicate 30 people for 2 years to add STM to C# and fail.
[–]andrejbauer[S] 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago
If I understand STM correctly, it only makes sense in a concurrent environment. Or am I wrong? Eff does not (currently) do concurrent computations, but it can do co-operative threads.There is a transactions example in our paper, but it's not STM, maybe it still answers your question. Would it be useful to have an example of STM with co-operative multithreads?
[–]ehird 5 points6 points7 points 2 years ago
In Haskell, the STM monad has no transformer equivalent. You can't, say, compose the IO monad with it. This is intentional, because transactions must have no side-effects: they can be retried multiple times, and must have no effect on the environment if they fail. ACID (well, ACI, at least) and all that.
What bhurt42 is asking is: how can we achieve the same effect in eff? How can we require STM to be on the "bottom" of the stack, and not allow mixing with IO?
[–]andrejbauer[S] 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago
The eff types are like those of ocaml, i.e., they do not carry information about effects. We are planning to equip eff with fancier types that also carry such information, and then what you are asking for will be possible. In any case, even at this point it should be possible to experiment with STM in eff, except that it is not clear to me how much that makes sense without concurrency. If a computation is effectful when it shouldn't be, eff will simply do something strange (perform IO twice when it shouldn't etc). We already have such examples, for example in non-determinism handlers there is a requirement that the computation must be free from effects, and that's not something eff can check at the moment.
[–]bhurt42 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago
This is exactly what I was asking. Or, more generally, how can we enforce the constraints that you can't do I/O within a transaction and you can't access transactional objects when not in a transaction? It's easy to enforce these constraints with the current monadic I/O in Haskell, which is why implementing STM in Haskell was a long weekend. Without the guarantees, you suffer a huge hit in either correctness or complexity.
[–]pigworker 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago
As Andrej observes, eff has yet to acquire an effect-tracking type system which would "manage permissions" appropriately. But that's the direction of travel. I also have been thinking a little in this direction, as these slides from 2007 might suggest. The idea is that the types of handlers make it clear which effects they locally enable. Locality of effects is something that Haskell currently handles badly (consider, e.g., the usual type of "catch").
This way of working has the potential to be much neater than mucking about with transformer stacks. If I were designing a language (not all that hypothetical, really), I'd be thinking about managing effects in the algebraic style. Meanwhile, Haskell's in need of a new treatment of effects, now that its new treatment of kinds allows us to index effect systems. That creates an opportunity to think again...
[–]bhurt42 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago
Yep. STM is basically only important in the case of multi-(non-cooperative)- threads. But this, I think, is the most important case for functional programming. A "mere" 10x increase in productivity isn't sufficient to force adoption of a new paradigm. This makes sense when you think about from a managers perspective- even assuming that the productivity improvement exists (and it has often been the mirage), you're looking at 2-3 years of significantly diminished productivity as the programmer learns the new paradigm. Given that the average tenure of a programmer at a company isn't more than 3-5 years, and add in the odds that the promised productivity increase isn't as large as promised (or even doesn't exist at all), and it doesn't make financial sense to switch.
The reason new paradigms are adopted is because they solve some problem which simply isn't solvable in the old paradigm. OO got adopted because it could do GUIs well, while procedural programming can't. Go program Motif- and remember that Motif was the best procedural library for doing GUIs. Multi-threaded programming is, I think, the reason functional programming will be adopted. If types and effects can't support STM (or some variant), then yes, my interest in them drops a lot. They may be interesting from a (type-)theoretical stand point, but from a pragmatic stand point they're pointless.
But this isn't to say that they can't support STM (or something that solves the same problem, the problem of thread synchronization in a composable manner). In fact, if I had to bet, I'd say that types & effects did have something interesting to say on the subject, I just don't know what it is.
[–]Paczesiowa 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago
after glancing a bit at the paper it looks, like it's more formal approach to conditions (beefed-up exceptions from common lisp)
[–]jlouis8 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago
I skimmed the arxiv paper quickly. It looks like an interesting language idea - I've had that idea for some time, but I never did the thorough work needed to bring it into fruition.
The idea of having explicit effects is alluring. I'd probably be interested in playing around with this language!

Heres How We Did It:
For the base of the centerpiece, we took a metal bucket and layered the inside with tissue paper to give it a Mexican flower effect. Then we placed a tall vase in the center of the bucket to hold the Felt Spanish Hat. Next, we took our Mariachi Band Cutouts and bent the cutouts at the waist and the knees so the band looks like they are sitting on the rim of the hat. Once you are done, wrap the bottom of the bucket with our Tequila Time Party Tape so your guests know that its time to get the party started!

Closely studied and later widely copied by other architects, these projects linked late-modern Southern California architecture to the latest experiments in minimalist art and sculpture. Still, Lumsden's designs, produced for a successful corporate firm, were the work of a pragmatist, and put a premium on efficiency. As Daniel Paul puts it, "the reversed mullion saved money on aluminum and used standardized, inexpensive components."
In a tremendously creative period in the early 1970s, Lumsden produced a series of designs that replaced placid, unbroken skins for more complex cylindrical and rolled shapes. Lumsden referred to the technique as "extrusion." It found its purest expression in designs for a convention center in the Swiss city of Lugano and a proposed addition to the Beverly Hills Hotel. Neither project was built.

The connectors are small-diameter to make for easy routing though the boat, but lock securely with a twist-lock ring.

It's easy to get caught up in the holiday hustle when you're so busy buying gifts, baking, decorating, and, of course, arranging a meeting time with Santa Claus.
Immanuel Lutheran Church and School reminds folks to slow down and take in the true meaning of the season Friday, Dec. 14 during their annual Christmas Walk program.
The free event is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and begins with a kids' Christmas program titled "A Shepherd's Story." After, families file out to nine classrooms where they'll enjoy a different holiday tale brought to life, including "Little Lamb's Christmas," "I See a Star," and "Who is Coming to Our House?"
The evening was organized by Immanuel Lutheran School's first and second grade classes, teachers Shannon Meyer, Mandi Hohenstadt, Liz O'Meara, and Katie Pettibone, and children from Immanuel's weekend Living Stones program.
Students will dress in character and enact the stories. There will even be a few live sheep and goats to add to the fun.
In addition, the fifth- and sixth-grade students are serving as greeters and singing Christmas carols as people walk in. High schoolers dressed as shepherds will work as ushers, helping families make it to the different story rooms.
"The students get to have fun, use their talents and share the love of Christ through Christmas with their families and our community," said Pastor Greg Griffith.
After, families are invited to enjoy free cookies and cocoa.
This is the 10th year for the event, which serves as a reminder to the community of the true meaning of the holiday.
"We hope participants leave with a great spirit of joy as they head into the final week before Christmas," Griffith said.
