NFL Wild Card Playoff Picks and Predictions for Saturday and Sunday January 3 & 4 | |
Written by Anthony Rome |
Friday, 02 January 2009 15:00 |
NFL Wild Card Picks The 2008 NFL Regular Season has concluded and the playoffs are set to begin. Our team of writers and handicappers hand out their picks for Wild Card Weekend. Atlanta Falcons (11-5) at Arizona Cardinals (9-7), 4:30 PM ET With his best season in years, grizzled veteran Kurt Warner has led the Arizona Cardinals to their first playoff appearance in 10 years. Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has accomplished something just as impressive as a rookie. The 23-year-old Ryan looks to help the Falcons continue their remarkable turnaround as they visit the 37-year-old Warner and the NFC West champion Cardinals in a wild-card game Saturday. Warner was named league MVP in 1999 and 2001 and earned Super Bowl MVP honors after leading the St. Louis Rams to the title following the 1999 season. After several inconsistent years, he regained his old form in 2008. Warner has lost the starting quarterback job four times with three teams since earning his second MVP award. He's been benched twice in Arizona, only to persevere with a season that statistically matches his best with the Rams. More impressively, he's guided the long-downtrodden Cardinals (9-7) to their second postseason berth since 1982 and first since 1998. It was the longest playoff drought in the NFL before Arizona clinched its first division title in 33 years with a 34-10 win over St. Louis on Dec. 7. The Falcons won seven of their last nine regular-season games, including their last three. But they're 1-5 all-time in Arizona, where these teams last met in Week 16 of 2007. Neil Rackers connected on a 31-yard field goal in overtime to give Arizona a 30-27 win and snap the team's four-game losing streak to Atlanta. Pick: Atlanta – View Game Matchup | Best Line: -3 Sportsbook.com Indianapolis Colts (12-4) at San Diego (8-8), 8:00 PM ET After struggling through the first two months of the season, the Indianapolis Colts regrouped to secure a seventh consecutive trip to the playoffs. The San Diego Chargers faced a bit more adversity en route to clinching their third straight postseason berth. Indianapolis, winner of nine straight games, and San Diego, which has won four in a row, meet for the second consecutive year in the playoffs and for the second time this season on Saturday night in an AFC wild-card game. Indianapolis (12-4) endured four defeats in its first seven contests this year, but closed out the regular season with nine straight wins, including 23-20 at AFC West champion San Diego (8-8) on Nov. 23. That victory came after the defending Super Bowl champion Colts were eliminated by the Chargers from last season's playoffs with a 28-24 home loss in the divisional round. Indianapolis, coming off its league-record sixth straight 12-win season, had its five-year reign as the AFC South champion snapped by top-seeded Tennessee, but extended its playoff streak to seven, having reached every year since coach Tony Dungy's arrival in 2002. The last three matchups between these teams have been decided by a combined nine points, with the Chargers winning twice. Manning went 32-for-44 for 255 yards and two TDs, while Rivers was 24-for-31 for 288 yards and two scores in November's meeting, which Indianapolis won on an Adam Vinatieri 51-yard field goal as time expired. Pick: San Diego – View Game Matchup | Best Line: +1 Sportsbook.com Baltimore Ravens (11-5) at Miami Dolphins (11-5), 1:00PM ET At the start of the season, the Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens were two of the NFL's least likely teams reach the playoffs. Led by unassuming quarterbacks, however, each team has made an impressive run to the postseason. The Dolphins and Ravens meet on Sunday in an AFC wild-card game, as Miami looks to avoid another postseason exit at the hands of Baltimore. The Ravens are in the playoffs for the second time in three years, but they returned after going 5-11 in 2007. As remarkable as that turnaround is, however, it pales in comparison to the surprising success of the Dolphins. A year after going 1-15, Miami won the AFC East for its first division title since 2000. The Dolphins, who were 0-13 in 2007 before beating Baltimore 22-16, won their final five games of 2008 to become just the second team in NFL history to post a 10-win improvement. Miami's unlikely turnaround came after an overhaul in the offseason under the guidance of Bill Parcells, who was named executive vice president of football operations. Under new coach Tony Sparano, who took over for Cam Cameron - now the offensive coordinator for the Ravens - the Dolphins still got off to a rough start, losing four of their first six games, but after a 27-13 loss at home to the Ravens on Oct. 19, things rapidly began to improve. Pick: Baltimore – View Game Matchup | Best Line: -3 Sportsbook.com Philadelphia Eagles (9-6-1) at Minnesota Vikings (10-6), 4:30PM ET Six weeks ago, the Philadelphia Eagles weren't even thinking about the playoffs, as they tied a game and had their star quarterback benched in successive weeks. While it wasn't looking promising at the time, those events proved to be pivotal in getting the Eagles to the postseason. In Sunday's NFC wild-card game, Philadelphia looks to carry its strong regular-season finish into the playoffs as it visits the NFC North champion Minnesota Vikings, who are also surging into the postseason. The Eagles (9-6-1) are making their seventh playoff appearance in nine years, but this one happened after a chain of surprising results in Week 17. Philadelphia avoided elimination when Oakland upset Tampa Bay and Houston beat Chicago in the early games. The Eagles then completed their unlikely journey to the playoffs with a 44-6 victory over Dallas to clinch the final NFC wild-card spot. Philadelphia has won its first playoff game each of its last six times in the postseason, while Minnesota has won its first game in the playoffs five straight times.

In the first place, a relay is like a switch to a coil assembly. This switch is activated when electricity is applied to the coil. With a common relay, the electricity must be continuously applied to the coil to maintain the contacts, but the impulse relay "remembers" and only requires a momentary application of electricity. Stated differently, apply pulse of electricity to the coil to turn on the relay contacts, apply another pulse of electricity to turn off the relay contacts.

OAK RIDGE - Doug Janney, longtime chairman of the Oak Ridge Industrial Development Board, has resigned because he's moved outside the city.
Janney tendered his resignation Wednesday, and it was effective immediately.
Janney stated in an e-mail to fellow IDB members that he's been living in Knox County for several weeks. He stated he was unaware of city policy that board members must live in Oak Ridge.
City officials received complaints on Tuesday - the day after IDB members cast a crucial vote on an industrial park takeover - that Janney should no longer be on the board.
City Attorney Ken Krushenski said Janney was informed of city policy when he came to the municipal building Tuesday to sign paperwork for the transfer of Horizon Center Industrial Park ownership.
The documents were instead signed by vice chairman David Wilson, Krushenski said.
Janney was among six board members who voted in favor of taking ownership of the park, previously under the control of the nonprofit Horizon Center LLC.
Janney, who has been chairman of the IDB for years, was finishing up his third, six-year term on the board.
Janney stated in the e-mail to fellow board members that he thought state law governing IDB memberships allowed him to remain on the board even though he no longer lives in Oak Ridge.
Alan L. Liby is also resigning from the nine-member board.
Bob Fowler, News Sentinel Anderson County editor, may be reached at 865-481-3625.

The brick façade and striped awnings of Dangerfield's have stood for more than 20 years alongside the south bank of the Minnesota River. Inside, brick archways and wooden wainscoting create a warm setting, and there's also an outdoor terrace, screened in by a netted dome to ward off bugs and confetti dropped by exuberant skydivers. Chefs transform Angus beef into steaks, medallions, and half-pound burgers, and they highlight the delicate flavors of Canadian walleye and jumbo shrimp with citrusy sauces. A full bar and wine list help nurture good spirits, and the join also hosts national and local comedians in their lower level on the weekends.
Sever's Corn Maze isn't just a cornfield with some paths cut into it. It's a full-scale celebration of the autumn season, combining traditional harvest activities and treats with bounce pillows, petting zoos, and magic shows. The farm welcomes in guests from mid-September through the end of October, inviting them to share in the fun of picking their own pumpkin, biting into a crisp caramel apple, or finding all of the checkpoints in a themed maze without running into the centaur scarecrow. The Severs offer enough activities to keep families busy all day, including seeing which little piglet will win the derby race. Knowing that guests can work up an appetite between all their activities, the Severs offer a range of autumn goodies including brats, kettle corn, cheese curds, and steaming mugs of hot cocoa and cider.
As night falls, participants in the noncompetitive Rave Run pull on neon T-shirts, don glow-in-the dark glasses, and stuff their pockets with glow sticks. Spectators look on as the throng of illuminated runners, which includes kids and adults, make their way through a 5-kilometer course that winds through city streets.
The event culminates with an after party, where a DJ spin tunes and powerful lasers cast out beams that illuminate wide smiles and the secret locations of any lost arks in the vicinity. Fog machines and CO2 jets help create a high-adrenaline atmosphere as attendees dance with their glow-in-the-dark compatriots. All the fun is for a good cause; The Rave Run partners with a local charity in each participating city.
Herradura's kitchen hums with the sounds of simmering Mexican sauces and sizzling meats. Chef Rita Castro fries up fresh shrimp, crab, and scallops for seafood fajitas, stuffs taquitos with beef or chicken, and adorns cheese enchiladas with pork, onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers. Bartenders blend natural juices into pitchers of mango, cactus fruit, and guava margaritas, drawing from an 18-year-old recipe formulated by brothers Raul and Oscar.
Tommy's Malt Shop induces nostalgia with a menu of malted milk shakes, hamburgers, and other classic comfort fare. With 16 different ice cream toppings that can be mixed and matched, made-to-order malts ($3.75–$4.75) arrive mouthside in unlimited flavor combinations that sippers can sprinkle with a variety of candy or fruit toppings, like most judicial summons. The pina colada malt combines strawberry, pineapple, and banana, while Emily's Favorite entreats sweet teeth with an avalanche of hot fudge and butterscotch. Chefs forge fresh burgers to order and with creative twists, such as the Pig Out burger made with a blend of bacon and ground beef ($8.50), or the Cowboy burger ($6.25), slathered in cheddar, barbecue sauce, and caramelized spurs. A garden salad ($7.25), homemade onion rings ($3.95) and a variety of classic sandwiches help round out memorable meals.
Pinatas dangle from the ceiling at Chaska My Love, giving them a perfect view of the restaurant's orange and red walls adorned with murals of iconic Mexican images and landscapes. Below, diners nestle into bright blue booths before tucking into plates heaped high with flavorful dishes, such as carne asada, sizzling fajitas, and guacamole made with fresh avocados. The menu offers a variety of authentic Mexican appetizers, entrees, and desserts, as well as antojitos, which translates to "little cravings" and refers to Mexican street food such as tacos and tamales.

Gilman Square plan could add 340 residences
October 22, 2013
A pre-application for three five-story buildings at Gilman Square could mark the first test of the Central Issaquah Plan.
Developer Lennar Multifamily Investors wishes to turn the 6.7-acre site, the home of Lombardi's Restaurant until it shut its doors in July, into a large residential location. They entered talks with the city in September before submitting a pre-application in early October.
Microsoft sells Highlands property
October 22, 2013
Microsoft, which once envisioned a major campus in the Issaquah Highlands, has sold the 63-acre tract to a local developer for a mixed-use project.
Microsoft representatives signed paperwork Oct. 18 to sell the land to a company apparently affiliated with Bellevue-based homebuilder Polygon Northwest.
"We no longer had requirements for office developments in Issaquah," Microsoft spokesman Lou Gellos said.
Off The Press
October 1, 2013
Grand Ridge Plaza is on the grow
Grand Ridge Plaza in the Issaquah Highlands is growing, and growing and growing after years of stops and starts, and false starts and stops.
If you watched it grow in the past months, you could hardly believe all the workers could get done in a short period. You'd go up there on a Monday and there would be a wooden shell of a building, and then go back on Thursday and it would be nearly done. It was a sight to behold.
If you haven't been there in a while, you are in for a shock on your next visit. It's like a huge outdoor mall has sprouted and spread. I don't know if it's what the highlands residents bargained for or wanted, but it's shiny and new, and pretty awesome in my opinion.
Swedish development agreement revised
September 24, 2013
Economic Development Director Keith Niven presented a revised Swedish Hospital development agreement to the City Council Land & Shore Committee Sept. 10.
Over the past six months, the city has worked with the hospital on an agreement for Swedish to expand into the 10 acres north of its existing location. Specifically, Swedish wishes to include a number of medical-related service providers, such as physical therapists and additional staff offices within the proposed development. In the draft agreement, the hospital also included a number of sky bridges it would build, connecting the buildings.
Because the Issaquah Highlands' development agreement expires in 2017, it may not be enough time for Swedish to build the project. The city has moved quickly to come up with a new contract.
Niven said that the council hoped to approve the agreement by the end of October. The revised agreement can be viewed at http://bit.ly/1gTCE4F.
Swedish hospital eyes 2014 expansion
August 13, 2013
City planners expect to finalize a Swedish/Issaquah development agreement to expand the hospital in October.
Executives introduced plans to convert 28 acres adjacent to the existing hospital into an additional facility this past spring. To accomplish the goal, Swedish seeks the establishment of a new development agreement that will allow the addition of 150,000 square feet to 180,000 square feet in the form of a new multi-use building.
Talks with the city continued during the Aug. 6 Urban Village Development Commission meeting. City planners and Swedish leaders had hoped to come to an agreement by the end of the summer. However, the timeline has since shifted, according to city Development Services Land Development Manager Lucy Sloman.

You're the DJ this Saturday in London
I thought I'd give you at least a couple days' notice so you can make it to the gig on time! :) Back in November we
covered London's Playlist Club parties, where music

there's an absolutely free Playlist party happening this Saturday, and you're all
invited. Volunteer judges will award the best DJ of the night one coveted, hard to find item: an iPod shuffle.
Here's your perfect excuse to take that weekend trip to London, eh, sweety, darling? For those of you not already in
London and unable to jet-set on short notice, why not set up your own DIY-DJ par-tay? The kind Playlist folks have put
up a How-to guide for would-be spinners. You now officially have no
excuse not to cue up your iPod and bust a move from wherever your location this Saturday night!

Noel Coward and his friends, Volume 1979, Part 2 |
What people are saying - Write a review
LibraryThing Review
User Review - LibraryThingThis is a chatty, anecdotal account of Noel Coward's life told by former lovers. However, as Coward himself did, they remained so discrete and reticent to delve into the really juicy bits that they omitted everything of the least sexual nature. Coward, who was obviously gay, was just never openly gay and these authors have respected that policy, to the readers' loss. Otherwise it is a perfectly adequate book and has many good pictures.

By Nicholas Eberstadt
Volume 5, Number 5
July 2004
Nicholas Eberstadt is the Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) in Washington. This piece is based on an article that will appear in the Fall 2004 issue of Orbis (due out in September) and on a presentation to FPRI's Study Group on America and the West.
Contemporary world population patterns are shaped by the "demographic transition" concept introduced to the field by the great demographer Frank Notestein several generations ago. That schema offers a stylized description of the great shifts in modern population patterns. Death and birth rates start out high, but more or less in equilibrium. Then, advances in knowledge and improvements in income result in broad declines in mortality, precipitating rapid population increase. Finally, socioeconomic development brings about sustained fertility reductions via voluntary, deliberate changes in childbearing patterns, at which point births and deaths once more come into balance.
While Notestein's schematic may still describe the human condition in broad stroke, today we can observe some important and surprising exceptions to these generalizations. Four of these unanticipated trends are (1) the rapid spread of sub-replacement fertility, (2) the emergence of unnatural gender imbalances among the very young, (3) sustained increases in death rates, and (4) American "demographic exceptionalism."
Sustained reductions in family size in the context of peace and social progress-were first witnessed in late eighteenth- century Europe. In the first half of the twentieth century, European countries unveiled another demographic first: non- catastrophic sub-replacement fertility. During the interwar period, a number of European states reported fertility patterns that, if continued, would lead to an eventual stabilization and indefinite population decline thereafter, absent offsetting immigration. These low fertility regimens were entirely voluntary: heretofore, such low birth Rates had virtually always been attended by war, pestilence, famine, or disaster. Europe experienced a baby boom after World War II, but sub-replacement fertility has now returned with a vengeance.
To maintain long-term population stability, a society's women must bear an average of about 2.1 children per lifetime. According to projections of the U.S. Census Bureau, Europe's total fertility rate (or TFR—births per woman per lifetime) is about 1.4. Indeed, nearly all the world's developed regions—Australia and New Zealand, North America, Japan, and the highly industrialized East Asian outposts of Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea— are reporting sub-replacement fertility. (Israel remains an exception.) But sub-replacement fertility is clearly no longer mainly a developed-nation phenomenon. If the Census Bureau's projections are roughly accurate, just about half the world's population lives in sub-replacement countries or territories.
Apart from Mongolia, according to the Census Bureau, all of East Asia is sub-replacement, as are Thailand and Burma in Southeast Asia, Kazakstan and Sri Lanka in South-Central Asia, many Caribbean societies, and most South American countries.
Perhaps the biggest surprise, given received notions about the Arab/Muslim expanse, is the recent spread of sub- replacement fertility to parts of the Arab and the Muslim world. Algeria, Tunisia, and Lebanon are now sub-replacement countries, as is Turkey. And there is the remarkable case of Iran, with a current TFR of under 1.9, which is lower than the United States'. Between 1986 and 2000, the country's TFR plummeted from well over 6 to just over 2. If modernization and Westernization are the handmaidens of sustained fertility decline, as is often supposed by students of demography, both terms are apparently being given a rather new meaning.
There are no reliable methods for anticipating just how low fertility levels may sink, or how long sub-replacement fertility may persist in various locales. One consequence, however, is already clear: it will force a great aging of the populations affected.
All of the developed countries are already "graying." This is most pronounced in Japan, where, by the year 2025, it is expected that one out of nine people will be 80 or older. Japan's prospective aging is unprecedented, and the scale of the transformation suggests the enormousness of the challenges that will accompany it. Japan, Europe, and North America are places where people traditionally got rich before they got old. In the decades ahead, many national populations are going to get old before they get rich.
China promises to be the most important case in point. Thanks to low levels of mortality, its population control program, and its now-low fertility, China is aging at a breathtaking velocity. Between 1975 and 2000, China's median age jumped from just over 20 to about 30; by 2025, it is projected to rise by nearly another decade. By then, it is quite possible that China's median age will be higher than America's. But China is much poorer than Japan or the U.S. were at every comparable stage of their aging processes.
China's rapidly aging population faces a looming triple bind. Apart from the family, China lacks any functional nationwide arrangements for pensioning its elders. Thus, a great many Chinese will have to continue to work into old age. But working life in China typically entails more physical labor, which does not favor the frail, than work in Japan or the United States. China's aging problem has the makings of a slow-motion humanitarian tragedy.
China is also witnessing a strange, unnatural, and growing disproportion between its numbers of baby boys and baby girls, and it is not the only country in which this is happening. In ordinary human populations, around 104-105 boys are typically born for every 100 girls. However, since the advent of its coercive one-child policy, China has broken this natural biological rhythm. Its 1982 census counted almost 109 baby boys for every 100 baby girls; by 1995, the reported ratio was up to almost 116 boys for every 100 girls, and by 2000, it was approaching 120:100.
This astonishing ratio could be a consequence of massive statistical falsification as parents bend the rules of the population program by concealing baby girls. If so, one would expect to see more normal sex ratios at slightly older ages: say, the years 1-4. But even here, China's registered ratio of boys to girls was about 121:100, and the ratio exceeded 130:100 in several provinces.
And China's mounting gender imbalance cannot be explained by poverty or lack of education. It has emerged in a period of extremely rapid development and pronounced economic progress. Moreover, higher female illiteracy rates correspond with lower imbalances: Better education for women is a predictor for greater gender imbalances.
China's population control program stands as an obvious suspect, since the imbalances did not emerge until after the plan was promulgated in the late 1970s, and the imbalances have grown progressively worse during the years of its implementation. Yet this policy cannot be the sole culprit. In other parts of East Asia, including South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore — none of which forcibly control population growth — unnatural gender imbalances at birth have also been recorded in recent years. It may be that throughout East Asia we are witnessing a collision between an immensely strong cultural preference for sons, new regimens of sub-replacement fertility, and a diffusion of ultrasound and other technologies that permit prenatal gender determination. Skewed sex ratios at birth would be the inexorable consequence of this collision.
And the collision is not only happening in East Asia. Gender determination technology is now nearly universally available; sub-replacement fertility is fast becoming the planetary norm; and a strong son-preference has been expressed in a number of cultures worldwide. One of these is Punjab, India. In a major survey undertaken there a decade ago, when fertility levels were still well above replacement, women expressed a preference for a boy over a girl 10:1. And according to India's latest census, in that state's youngest age groups, there were 126 young boys for every 100 young girls.
That figure cannot be taken as an exact indication of gender imbalance at birth: differential mortality and/or migration, for instance, may have affected this reported outcome. Yet the true sex ratio at birth in Punjab may not be far different from the extraordinary disparities reported for the very young. Contrary to expectation, with increased affluence, education, and contact with the outside world in China, the gender imbalance has increased, and it is starting to do the same in the Caucasus; parts of Latin America and Eastern Europe; even subpopulations within the U.S.
The consequences of this growing gender imbalance will be felt when these children grow to be prospective husbands and wives. The "marriage market" will be unable to clear in locales where matrimony is the expectation, sub-replacement fertility the reality, and extreme gender imbalances the norm.
It has generally been assumed that with improved income, increased globalization, and the attendant spread of ideas, knowledge, and technology, mortality would gradually decline worldwide, and countries' mortality levels would gradually converge. Most of the twentieth century seemed to confirm such expectations. Between 1900 and 2000, global life expectancy at birth probably doubled, soaring from about 30 to well over 60 years. And from 1950 to 1980, there was a marked convergence of life expectancy between the more and less developed nations.
In the twenty-first century, it appears that major and pervasive health setbacks will be a characteristic feature of the global population profile. These steep increases in mortality do not seem to be transitory, but will probably continue for decades. By U.S. Census Bureau projections, over 40 countries are anticipated to have a lower life expectancy in 2010 than they did in 1990. The Bureau envisions a 20-year-long decline in life expectancy for those countries. Clearly these are no trivial interruptions.
Most of the health setbacks relate to HIV/AIDS, which is the proximate factor in virtually all of these reversals in sub- Saharan Africa. But it is not the only, or even the major, factor elsewhere. Most of the former Soviet countries, for example, are projected to suffer long-term declines in life expectancy.
The Russian Federation is perhaps the most striking and anomalous of the states suffering from long-term health retrogression. Russia's life expectancy at birth today is about four years lower than it was forty years ago. Its health reversal is concentrated in the working age groups. This peacetime death explosion has been triggered not by tuberculosis or HIV/AIDS, but by cardiovascular disease and injuries. Alcohol, of course, has played its part: indeed, one Russian study determined that almost half of the young and middle aged men who died of injury or cardiovascular disease were drunk at the time of death. Russians now in their 30s, 40s, or 50s have already accumulated a lifetime of insults to their health.
In Japan, each new generation enjoys better survival chances at any given age. The situation is totally different in Russia, where the worst death rates at any given age are found among the youngest men. To judge by mortality, Russians are now less healthy than their parents were at the same age. Under such circumstances, it will be extraordinarily difficult to improve the health of the society as a whole.
A final surprise involves what we might call America's "demographic exceptionalism." The U.S. is the singular and major exception to the demographic rhythms characterizing virtually all other affluent Western states.
In Western Europe, total populations are anticipated to decline between 2000 and 2025, with a substantial shrinkage in the under-55 population and pronounced population aging. In the U.S., overall population aging is much more moderate; the overall population is projected to increase, and a higher number of young people are expected in 2025 than today.
Part of this difference is attributable to a significant divergence in fertility patterns. As already noted, Europe's overall TFR stands in the 1.4 to 1.5 range, with Italy and Spain on the low end, at about 1.2, and France and Ireland on the high end, at about 1.8. The U.S. fertility rate has been over 2.0 since 1990 and is just under replacement today—somewhere between 2.0 and the 2.1 replacement level, making it about 40 percent higher than Europe's.
America's fertility levels have diverged not just from Europe's but from those of the rest of the developed world. The U.S. TFR is much higher than Japan's 1.3-1.4, and the gap is even greater with some of the other high-income East Asian countries. Even much of North America doesn't look so "American" these days: whereas the U.S. and Canada had nearly identical fertility levels back in the mid-1970s, Canada looks pretty European today, and the U.S. looks— well, pretty American. While the States is reporting a TFR of over 2, Canada's is around 1.5.
Much of the developed world is caught up in what Ron Lesthaege and Dirk van de Kaa have dubbed "the second demographic transition" — a shift to smaller desired family sizes and less stable family unions. If this is the new demographic revolution, Americans look to be the developed world's most prominent counterrevolutionaries.
America's relatively high TFR does not seem to be explained by any particular region or ethnicity. There are big fertility differences between some states, but 42 states reported TFRs above 1.9 that year and 33 reported TFRs of 2.0 or higher. In all of Europe, by contrast, the only country with an estimated TFR above 2.0 is Albania.
America's ethnic fertility differentials do not account for its demographic divergence from Europe. Hispanic Americans maintain relatively large family sizes in the U.S., with a TFR of around 2.7, but excluding them by no means eliminates the gap between the U.S. and the rest of the developed world. Nor can the differential be explained by factoring out African-American fertility (which is higher than the "Anglo" rate, but much closer to the Anglo rate than to the Latinos'). In 2000, America's Anglo TFR was 1.84 — about 10 percent less than the U.S. national average, but still more than 30 percent above Europe's.
No obvious materialist explanation for America's demographic exceptionalism seems to exist. U.S.-Western Europe income differences are not tremendous. One might think that fertility would be higher in societies that devote more public resources to child support, but social welfare programs are far more generous in most of Western Europe than in the U.S.
So how can we explain this fertility discrepancy? Possibly it is a matter of attitudes and outlook. There are big revealed differences between Americans and Europeans regarding a number of important life values. Survey results highlighted in the Economist (Nov. 2003) point to some of these. Americans tend to identify the role of government as "providing freedom," while Europeans are inclined to think of government in terms of "guaranteeing one's needs." Attitudes about individualism, patriotism, and religiosity seem to separate Americans from much of the rest of the developed world. Is it entirely coincidental that these divergences seem to track with the big cleavages between fertility levels in the U.S. and so much of the rest of the developed world?
The difference between a TFR of 2.0 and one of 1.5 or 1.4, other things being equal, is the difference between virtual long-term population stability and a population that shrinks by almost a third with each passing generation. A UN Population Division study of what levels of net immigration flows would be necessary for developed countries to maintain both their overall population and their working-age population (15-64 years of age) over a 55-year time horizon. For the pre-enlargement EU, a net inflow of about 2.5 million people a year would be needed to stabilize the population, and about 4.3 million to stabilize the workforce. But net immigration into the EU in the late 1990s averaged just 700,000 a year. For Japan, 300,000 net newcomers a year would be needed for population stability, and 600,000 for workforce stability. But Japan's net immigration rate today is approximately zero. The U.S. could maintain its population with just 116,000 net immigrants a year, but net annual immigration has averaged nearly 1 million. If these exceptionalist trends continue, America will age much more slowly than Europe or Japan. And the U.S. share of world population will not diminish steadily and dramatically in the decades ahead, as Europe's and Japan's seem set to do.
Western European countries accounted for about 12 percent of global population in 1950; this was down to about 6 percent by 2000, and in the admittedly tentative Census Bureau projections for 2050, it is placed at barely 4 percent. Over this same span, Russia's projected share of world population falls from over 4 percent to barely 1 percent; Japan's from 3 percent to 1 percent. The U.S., on the other hand, only drops from about 6 percent in 1950 to about 4.5 percent in 2000 and then is projected at an almost constant 4.5 percent for the following half century.
While the rest of the developed areas gradually drop off the roster of the world's major population centers, the U.S. actually rises, from fourth largest in 1950 to third largest in 2000, which it is projected to remain in 2050 as well. Drawing international implications from such crude comparisons is hazardous. But from a purely demographic standpoint, the U.S., virtually alone among developed nations, does not look set to be going off gently into the night.

Research: Center of Excellence for Infectious Diseases
Principal Investigators
Manjunath Swamy, M.D.Prof. Biomedical Sciences and Co-Director of the Center of Excellence for Infectious DiseasesDepartment of Biomedical Sciences |
Research Interest
West Nile and St. Louis encephalitis viruses can cause devastating brain infections in humans and there is no treatment or vaccine for these infections. The Swamy lab is testing the therapeutic applicability of siRNAs to prevent and cure these infections. They have identified several RNAi targets that can provide near complete protection against the fatal disease in animal models. By selecting certain regions of the viral genome that are conserved across species as targets, they have also shown that siRNAs can be developed as broad-spectrum antiviral agents to suppress multiple different, but related viruses.
Since infection of brain cells is the cause for the severe disease, the Swamy lab is also interested in developing methods to achieve targeted delivery of siRNA to brain cells. They have developed a novel method using a short peptide that binds to a brain cell surface protein to deliver siRNAs to brain after intravenous injection.
The Swamy lab is also studying how the endogenously encoded miRNAs regulate the activation and differentiation of antigen-specific T cells. They have shown that although 100s of miRNAs are expressed in na�ve T cells, only a handful of these predominate. Interestingly, most of these miRNAs are turned off after activation and this decrease in miRNAs expression inversely correlates with highly increased gene expression in activated cells. These results indicate that relief from miRNA-mediated repression is essential to increase gene expression after T cell activation.
The Swamy lab is also interested in mucosal immunity. Many pathogens enter the body through mucosal sites and the immune response at mucosal sites differs qualitatively and quantitatively from that at peripheral tissues. The Swamy lab has identified a novel type of antigen-presenting cell in the intestinal mucosa that expresses a costimulatory molecule called CD70. Interaction of CD70 with its ligand CD27 expressed by T cells appears to be essential for T cell response in the gut mucosa and blocking this interaction using CD70 antibody can reduce the mucosal response. Since aberrant activation of gut mucosal T cells is the cause of inflammatory bowel disease in humans, we are testing if CD70 blockade can inhibit IBD in experimental animal models.
Dr. Swamy obtained his M.D. degree from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India and received postdoctoral training at the Tufts-New England Medical Center. He was as an investigator at the Immune Disease Institute, Harvard Medical School before joining the TTUHSC.

The Epilepsy Association of Central Florida distributes bike helmets to economically disadvantaged children to save lives during accidents and reduce head-trauma-induced conditions. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration determined that if children universally wore helmets while biking, it would prevent roughly 40,000 head injuries every year, which would also reduce the risk of youth developing epilepsy.
At the Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County's resource center, the Senator Philip D. Lewis Center, more than 360 individuals experiencing homelessness arrived seeking refuge and safety in the first 30 days it was open. Often, these individuals—who may be children, teens, or adults—arrive with everything they own in a garbage bag. Today the coalition hopes to provide each such visitor with a warm welcome that includes a simple, sturdy cloth tote bag or backpack full of the small necessities that may comfort a child or teen, or restore the dignity and self-respect of an adult.
The center—a one-stop resource for housing assistance and provisions for individuals experiencing homelessness—is but a piece of a larger 10-year plan to end homelessness in Palm Beach County. The coalition actively partners with the County and Homeless Advisory Board in pinpointing cracks in current programs and identifying the practical steps necessary to prevent and sustainably end homelessness long term.

When Amy, a little girl with leukemia, was unable to fulfill her wish to visit Orlando's theme parks before she passed away, hotelier Henri Landwirth vowed that he'd never let a child in need's wish go unfilled again. So he enlisted his colleagues in the hospitality and theme-park industries to help him make his vow a reality. His idea, Give Kids The World, expanded to a 70-acre resort village with more than 140 villa accommodations for wish children and their families, plus entertainment attractions and fun activities specially designed for children with special needs. The organization works with wish-granting organizations, such as Make-A-Wish Foundation, to fulfill any wishes to visit Orlando-area theme parks. In 2011, more than 7,000 wish children and their families from all 50 states and 25 countries visited the resort for a cost-free vacation.
In the world of reality TV, it can be hard to separate fact from scripted sensationalism. But with Ghost Tracker Ghost Tours, visitors can see firsthand how the investigators on Ghost Tracker TV gauge the paranormal activity of reputed hauntings, and will even get to help document the spooky goings-on. Using the tools showcased on the screen—including EMF readers and K2 meters—tour-goers track the level of paranormal activity at 5–7 haunted sites, all while listening to their guide recount stories of the old court house or the hanging tree. During their 90 minutes of ghost hunting, guests maintain a leisurely pace while covering less than a mile of ground, allowing them ample time to peer around with cameras for spectral images that can't be seen with the human eye. Some tours may be filmed for the show, so guests may be asked to sign a waver in order to enjoy their 15 minutes of fame.

WWII Italy with Richard Bowen of Context Travel
by How to Tour Italy in Film
Tags: Monuments Men Saving Italy Robert Edsel Richard Bowen George Clooney
Join Richard Bowen of Context Travel and I as we discuss the impact of WWII on Italy and how the Monuments Men of the Allied forces and the Italian citizens saved their art for the world.
I read Robert Edsel's wonderful book Saving Italy about the Monuments Men and was inspired to dig deeper into a part of Italy's history that I've largely ignored. I guess the snob of Ancient Rome, Medieval, and Renaissance Italy got the best of me for many years...until now.
This is a fascinating subject that includes the near loss of Da Vinci's Last Supper, the loss of the complete collections of many of the museums throughout Italy, and how the Monuments Men worked day and night to protect, preserve, recover, and replace many of the world's most famous art, manuscripts, and architecture.
Be on the look out for the soon to be released movie starring George Clooney and Matt Damon as I'm sure, as much as you might like my show their star power slightly out powers mine. Also read Saving Italy, and visit http://www.monumentsmenfoundation.org/
Visit Contexttravel.com and set up a custom Rome tour focused on WWII.

He has spent endless hours working very hard for something he so much believed in.
Howard was among the original people that made the ISA Tampa Bay Loop what it is today.
When these Few Good Men (and Women) came up with a plan to get our Loop out on the
Streets, things were not so easy. Beginnings are always tough. They saw it through and came
out shining. His dedication to ISA has touched us all at one time or another. Lets take a
moment to thank, not only Howard but , all these heroes for all the things they contributed.
