Ref Error Mars Pool D |
Sevens - Collegiate Sevens |
Late Friday night USA Rugby reviewed tape from the Stony Brook vs. Oklahoma pool game and determined it was stopped short, erroneously, by the referee with over three minutes to be played. "A situation regarding the official match time of the Stony Brook v. Oklahoma game in Pool D of the USA Rugby Men's College Sevens National Championship has been brought to the attention of USA Rugby," said USA Rugby communications manager Jarrod Beckstrom. "Unfortunately, there was confusion with regards to the official match time in that game. As a result, the second half of that match was not played in its entirety. Upon review, 3 minutes and 47 seconds were played between the opening whistle of the second half and the final whistle. It's clear a mistake was made." Oklahoma led the Seawolves 14-5 when the match was called. Had the game been played out and Stony Brook won, the Seawolves would have advanced to the Cup Quarterfinals. Despite pleading from Stony Brook, USA Rugby has stuck with the referee's judgement. "A ruling on the field cannot retroactively affect the outcome of a match or should it require both teams to replay the game. When a match official indicates the end of the game, that decision is final," added Beckstrom. "This incident will be reviewed thoroughly and an appropriate course of action will be determined by the event referee manager and the USA Rugby Referee staff." |

BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Karin Slaughter's Unseen.
From Atlanta's wealthiest suburbs to its stark inner-city housing projects, a killer has crossed the boundaries of wealth and race. And the people who are chasing him must cross those boundaries, too. Among them is Michael Ormewood, a veteran detective whose marriage is hanging by a thread—and whose arrogance and explosive temper are threatening his career. And Angie Polaski, a beautiful vice cop who was once Michael' s lover before she became his enemy. But unbeknownst to both of them, another player has entered the game: a loser ex-con who has stumbled upon the killer's trail in the most coincidental of ways—and who may be the key to breaking the case wide open.
In this gritty, gripping firecracker of a novel, the author of the bestselling Grant County, Georgia, series breaks thrilling new ground, weaving together the threads of a complex, multilayered story with the skill of a master craftsman. Packed with body-bending switchbacks, searing psychological suspense and human emotions, Triptych ratchets up the tension one revelation at a time as it races to a shattering and unforgettable climax.

Chapter One
February 5, 2006
Detective Michael Ormewood listened to the football game on the radio as he drove down DeKalb Avenue toward Grady Homes. The closer he got to the projects, the more tension he felt, his body almost vibrating from the strain by the time he took a right into what most cops considered a war zone. As the Atlanta Housing Authority slowly devoured itself, subsidized communities like Grady were becoming a thing of the past. The in-town real estate was too valuable, the potential for kickback too high. Right up the road was the city of Decatur, with its trendy restaurants and million-dollar houses. Less than a mile in the other direction was Georgia's gold-encrusted capitol dome. Grady was like a worse-case scenario sitting between them, a living reminder that the city too busy to hate was also too busy to take care of its own.
With the game on, the streets were fairly empty. The drug dealers and pimps were taking the night off to watch that rarest of miracles occur: the Atlanta Falcons playing in the Super Bowl. This being a Sunday night, the prostitutes were still out making a living, trying to give the churchgoers something to confess next week. Some of the girls waved at Michael as he drove past, and he returned the greeting, wondering how many unmarked cars stopped here during the middle of the night, cops telling Dispatch they were taking a ten-minute break, then motioning over one of the girls to help blow off some steam.
Building nine was in the back of the development, the crumbling red brick edifice tagged by the Ratz, one of the new gangs that had moved into the Homes. Four cruisers and another un

by A. G. Howard
Hello, I'm an eBook! ATTENTION: This item is an eBook. It can be read on iOS, Android, MAC and PC's with a supported eReader. It is not a physical book. eBooks are available via download immediately after you've checked out.
This stunning debut captures the grotesque madness of a mystical under-land, as well as a girl's pangs of first love and independence. Alyssa Gardner hears the whispers of bugs and flowers--precisely the affliction that landed her mother in a mental hospital years before. This family curse stretches back to her ancestor Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." Alyssa might be crazy, but she manages to keep it together. For now.
When her mother's mental health takes a turn for the worse, Alyssa learns that what she thought was fiction is based in terrifying reality. The real Wonderland is a place far darker and more twisted than Lewis Carroll ever let on. There, Alyssa must pass a series of tests, including draining an ocean of Alice's tears, waking the slumbering tea party, and subduing a vicious bandersnatch, to fix Alice's mistakes and save her family. She must also decide whom to trust: Jeb, her gorgeous best friend and secret crush, or the sexy but suspicious Morpheus, her guide through Wonderland, who may have dark motives of his own.

By V. Phani Kumar, MarketWatch , Colin Ng and Puja Rajeev
HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Asian markets ended mostly lower Friday in the wake of disappointing weekly-jobless-claims data from the U.S., and with Indian and Chinese shares retreating after inflation data triggered fears of an interest-rate hike.
Japanese stocks came under selling pressure, with exporters losing ground as the yen strengthened against the U.S. dollar, while fresh government measures to cool property prices hit developers and banks in Singapore.
Asia's week ahead
China next week announces inflation and economic growth figures, and Australian mining giants release quarterly reports.
"Profit taking kicked in amid signs of overheating in the Japanese market" after the Nikkei hit an eight-month high Thursday, said Kenichi Hirano, operating officer at Tachibana Securities.
The Nikkei Stock Average /quotes/zigman/5986735/realtime JP:NIK -2.59% fell 0.9%, China's Shanghai Composite /quotes/zigman/1859015/realtime CN:SHCOMP -0.17% fell 1.3%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index /quotes/zigman/2622475/realtime HK:HSI -1.65% gained 0.2%, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 /quotes/zigman/1653884/realtime AU:XJO -0.55% inched up 0.1%, South Korea's Kospi rose 0.9%, Taiwan's Taiex ended little changed and Singapore's Straits Times index ended down 0.3%.
India's Sensex , ahead in midafternoon trading, was then yanked back by a wave of selling; it was down 1.8% late.
Mumbai's retreat came after data showed India's wholesale-price index-based inflation for December rose 8.43% from a year earlier, accelerating from November's 7.48%, which kept expectations for aggressive interest-rate increases alive.
"The government's measures to tame food inflation aren't likely to have a significant impact," HSBC economist Leif Lybecker Eskesen wrote in a note to clients, predicting the Reserve Bank of India will raise interest rates by 1.25 percentage points in 2011, including a 0.25-percentage-point increase this month.
Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449/realtime DJIA -0.23% futures were 16 points lower in screen trade.
Sentiment in the region remained cautious after news Thursday that U.S. initial unemployment claims last week, expected by economists to decline, instead increased by 35,000 to 445,000.
But some technology shares remained strong after Intel Corp.'s /quotes/zigman/20392/delayed/quotes/nls/intc INTC +0.12% better-than-expected earnings. Tokyo Electron /quotes/zigman/198764/realtime JP:8035 -2.62% /quotes/zigman/529232/delayed/quotes/nls/toely TOELY +0.95% climbed 3.2% and Ibiden climbed 1.1% in Tokyo; Samsung Electronics /quotes/zigman/189458/delayed/quotes/nls/ssnlf SSNLF 0.00% added 1.2% in Seoul; and Asustek Computer rose 2.7% and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing /quotes/zigman/189771/delayed/quotes/nls/tsm TSM +1.41% rose 0.3%, in Taipei.

Naoki Fujiwara, a fund manager at Shinkin Asset Management, said the shares were also helped by Intel's plan to increase capital spending to $9 billion in 2011, up $3.8 billion from 2010. But "while the (Intel) earnings seem to be the result of a recovery in the broader global economy, there are still questions over (Intel's) growth strategies."
In Tokyo, exporters broadly declined on the yen's strength, with Canon /quotes/zigman/192225/delayed/quotes/nls/caj CAJ -0.07% /quotes/zigman/192200/realtime JP:7751 -0.93% losing 1.3% and Nissan Motor /quotes/zigman/196473/realtime JP:7201 -2.02% /quotes/zigman/202910/delayed/quotes/nls/nsany NSANY -1.19% falling 1.4%.
Toyota Motor /quotes/zigman/199376/delayed/quotes/nls/tm TM -1.09% /quotes/zigman/199438/realtime JP:7203 -1.95% climbed 0.4% after J.P. Morgan upgraded the stock to Neutral, while Fast Retailing /quotes/zigman/139215/realtime JP:9983 -2.93% /quotes/zigman/527410/delayed/quotes/nls/frcoy FRCOY -1.25% soared 6.4% following Nomura's upgrade to Buy.
In China, the market was spooked by worries of more policy tightening after a state radio report Thursday cited Zhou Wangjun, an official at the country's top economic-planning agency, as saying new policies to combat inflation would be considered if prices rise too quickly in the first quarter.
Metal companies were also pressured lower by declining global metal prices. Jiangxi Copper /quotes/zigman/332900/delayed/quotes/nls/jixay JIXAY -4.25% /quotes/zigman/16454/realtime HK:358 -2.47% plummeted 8% and Aluminum Corp. of China /quotes/zigman/294208/delayed/quotes/nls/ach ACH -1.41% /quotes/zigman/5308/realtime HK:2600 -2.23% skidded 2%.

Quinn urges pension action, calls for education cuts
By Alex Rusciano
In his annual budget address Wednesday, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn laid the blame on the General Assembly for forcing him to cut spending on schools and other key state priorities. Quinn says the cost of pensions is "squeezing" Illinois' finances, to the point that he's calling for a $400 million hit to education. IPR's Amanda Vinicky reports: Governor Pat Quinn unveiled a budget that spends around $35 and a half billion dollars from the state's main checking account.One fifth of that would go toward the states' public pension systems. Quinn has continually asked the General Assembly to send him legislation that would save the state money by reducing state workers' and teachers' retirement benefits ... but no such measure has made it to his desk. In his speech, the Governor seemed to chastise legislators as he asked them what they're waiting for. "Illinois taxpayers are losing patience with your lack of action." House Republican Leader Tom Cross says the firm tone is warranted. But Senate GOP Leader Christine Radogno disagreed. While Quinn laid out some of what he wants in a pension overhaul, he didn't introduce a new plan or give many specifics. "The Governor's the one that has been woefully absent. The only thing that he's put out last spring, five point ... five dot-points. That is it. No legislation. Nothing." Quinn suggests suspending cost of living raises for retirees with higher pensions, and says current employees should pay more into their retirement benefits.

D.C. Public Schools gained 560 students to bring enrollment to 46,191 this fall, according to the initial count, which would be the second consecutive year that the school system has grown. Final numbers -- which will be audited and released in late January -- traditionally have been slightly less than the initial Oct. 5 estimates. Last year's October count was 46,515, over 300 more than this year.
DCPS' population grew 2 percent in 2010-2011, the first time enrollment increased since 1969.

In comparison, the city's public charter schools grew to 32,009 students -- 2,643 students more than last year, continuing a trend of huge year-to-year growth since charter schools hit the city 15 years ago.
About 40 percent of public school students in the District attend charters, the second-highest rate in the nation to New Orleans.
"Although these numbers are not final and cannot be certified until we finish our formal audit, I think the mayor's focus on the importance of pre-K education is reaching our parents, as our initial numbers indicate the largest area of increase is coming from pre-K levels," said Superintendent Hosanna Mahaley.
There's no question that charter school growth is outpacing that of D.C. Public Schools, even as both make gains. "DCPS is working very hard to improve, but they're still asking parents to wait while improvement goes on, and parents are tired of that," said Robert Cane, executive director of Friends of Choice in Urban Schools, a nonprofit that advocates for charter schools. "They want better schools for their kids now... You only have one shot for your kids to be in school."
Still, a second year of population growth for DCPS would be historic, analysts agreed -- and it's not just a matter of the economy clamping down on private-school plans. "The decline of attendance in DCPS has been going on for so long that it's persisted through periods of economic decline and growth," said Tom Loveless, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
A spokesman for D.C. Public Schools did not reply to phone calls or emails.
Picking his son up from a charter school in Northeast, local political analyst Chuck Thies said increased confidence in the city's schools -- DCPS and charters -- was a major trigger.
"There are a lot of parents whose kids are just becoming school-aged," said Thies, above the shouts of children. "Two, three, four years ago, these were the people with a watchful eye on the city."

Day 86 | Read the Bible in a Year
read the bible in a year: day 86
Matthew 22:23-46
23 On the same day there came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no coming back from the dead: and they put a question to him, saying, 24 Master, Moses said, If a man, at the time of his death, has no children, let his brother take his wife, and get a family for his brother; 25 Now there were among us seven brothers; and the first was married and at his death, having no seed, gave his wife to his brother; 26 In the same way the second and the third, up to the seventh. 27 And last of all the woman came to her end. 28 When they come back from the dead, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? because they all had her. 29 But Jesus said to them in answer, You are in error, not having knowledge of the Writings, or of the power of God. 30 For when they come back from the dead there are no husbands and wives, but they are as the angels in heaven. 31 But about the dead coming back to life, have you no knowledge of what was said to you by God in the Writings: 32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead but of the living. 33 And the people hearing it were surprised at his teaching. 34 But the Pharisees, hearing how the mouths of the Sadducees had been stopped, came together; 35 And one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, testing him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the chief rule in the law? 37 And he said to him, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38 This is the first and greatest rule. 39 And a second like it is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself. 40 On these two rules all the law and the prophets are based. 41 Now while the Pharisees were together, Jesus put a question to them, saying, 42 What is your opinion of the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, The Son of David. 43 He says to them, How then does David in the Spirit give him the name of Lord, saying, 44 The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put under your feet all those who are against you? 45 If David then gives him the name of Lord, how is he his son? 46 And no one was able to give him an answer, and so great was their fear of him, that from that day no one put any more questions to him.
Numbers 22
1 Then the children of Israel, journeying on, put up their tents in the lowlands of Moab, on the other side of Jordan at Jericho. 2 Now Balak, the son of Zippor, saw what Israel had done to the Amorites. 3 And in Moab there was great fear of the people, because their numbers were so great: and the feeling of Moab was bitter against the children of Israel. 4 Then Moab said to the responsible men of Midian, It is clear that this great people will be the destruction of everything round us, making a meal of us as the ox does of the grass of the field. At that time Balak, the son of Zippor, was king of Moab. 5 So he sent men to Balaam, son of Beor, at Pethor by the River in the land of the children of his people, saying to him, See, a people has come out of Egypt, covering all the face of the earth, and they have put up their tents opposite to me: 6 Come now, in answer to my prayer, and put a curse on this people, for they are greater than I: and then I may be strong enough to overcome them and send them out of the land: for it is clear that good comes to him who has your blessing, but he on whom you put your curse is cursed. 7 So the responsible men of Moab and Midian went away, taking in their hands rewards for the prophet; and they came to Balaam and said to him what Balak had given them orders to say. 8 And he said to them, Take your rest here tonight, and I will give you an answer after hearing what the Lord says; so the chiefs of Moab kept there with Balaam that night. 9 And God came to Balaam and said, Who are these men with you? 10 And Balaam said to God, Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent them to me, saying, 11 See, the people who have come out of Egypt are covering all the earth: now, put a curse on this people for me, so that I may be able to make war on them, driving them out of the land. 12 And God said to Balaam, You are not to go with them, or put a curse on this people, for they have my blessing. 13 In the morning Balaam got up and said to the chiefs of Balak, Go back to your land, for the Lord will not let me go with you. 14 So the chiefs of Moab went back to Balak and said, Balaam will not come with us. 15 So Balak sent more chiefs, greater in number and of higher position than the others. 16 And they came to Balaam and said, Balak, son of Zippor, says, Let nothing keep you from coming to me: 17 For I will give you a place of very great honour, and whatever you say to me I will do; so come, in answer to my prayer, and put a curse on this people. 18 But Balaam, in answer; said to the servants of Balak, Even if Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, it would not be possible for me to do anything more or less than the orders of the Lord my God. 19 So take your rest here this night, till I have knowledge what more the Lord has to say to me. 20 And that night God came to Balaam and said to him, If these men have come for you, go with them: but do only what I say to you. 21 So in the morning Balaam got up and, making his ass ready, went with the chiefs of Moab. 22 But God was moved to wrath because he went: and the angel of the Lord took up a position in the road to keep him from his purpose. Now he was seated on his ass, and his two servants were with him. 23 And the ass saw the angel of the Lord waiting in the road with his sword in his hand; and turning from the road, the ass went into the field; and Balaam gave the ass blows, to get her back on to the road. 24 Then the angel of the Lord took up his position in a narrow road through the vine-gardens, with a wall on this side and on that. 25 And the ass saw the angel of the Lord, and went near the wall, crushing Balaam's foot against the wall; and he gave her more blows. 26 Then the angel of the Lord went further, stopping in a narrow place where there was no room for turning to the right or to the left. 27 And the ass saw the angel of the Lord and went down on the earth under Balaam; and full of wrath, Balaam gave her hard blows with his stick. 28 Then the Lord gave the ass the power of talking, and opening her mouth she said to Balaam, What have I done to you that you have given me blows these three times? 29 And Balaam said to the ass, You have made me seem foolish: if only I had a sword in my hand I would put you to death. 30 And the ass said to Balaam, Am I not your ass upon which you have gone all your life till this day? and have I ever done this to you before? And he said, No. 31 Then the Lord made Balaam's eyes open, and he saw the angel of the Lord in the way with his sword in his hand: and he went down on his face to the earth. 32 And the angel of the Lord said to him, Why have you given your ass blows these three times? See, I have come out against you to keep you back, because your purpose is not pleasing to me. 33 And the ass saw me, turning to one side from me three times: if she had not gone to one side, I would certainly have put you to death and kept her safe. 34 And Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, I have done wrong, for I did not see that you were in the way against me: but now, if it is evil in your eyes, I will go back again. 35 And the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, Go with the men; but say only what I give you to say. Then Balaam went on with the chiefs of Balak. 36 Now Balak, hearing that Balaam had come, went to the chief town of Moab, on the edge of the Arnon, in the farthest part of the land, for the purpose of meeting him. 37 And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not send to you, requesting you with all my heart to come to me? why did you not come? am I not able to give you a place of honour? 38 Then Balaam said to Balak, Now I have come to you; but have I power to say anything? Only what God puts into my mouth may I say. 39 And Balaam went with Balak to Kiriath-huzoth. 40 And Balak made offerings of oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam and the chiefs who were with him. 41 And in the morning Balak took Balaam up to the high places of Baal, and from there he was able to see the outer limits of the people.
Song of Solomon 2
1 I am a rose of Sharon, a flower of the valleys. 2 As the lily-flower among the thorns of the waste, so is my love among the daughters. 3 As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, so is my loved one among the sons. I took my rest under his shade with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. 4 He took me to the house of wine, and his flag over me was love. 5 Make me strong with wine-cakes, let me be comforted with apples; I am overcome with love. 6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand is round about me. 7 I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes of the field, do not let love be moved till it is ready. 8 The voice of my loved one! See, he comes dancing on the mountains, stepping quickly on the hills. 9 My loved one is like a roe; see, he is on the other side of our wall, he is looking in at the windows, letting himself be seen through the spaces. 10 My loved one said to me, Get up, my love, my fair one, and come away. 11 For, see, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; 12 The flowers are come on the earth; the time of cutting the vines is come, and the voice of the dove is sounding in our land; 13 The fig-tree puts out her green fruit and the vines with their young fruit give a good smell. Get up from your bed, my beautiful one, and come away. 14 O my dove, you are in the holes of the mountain sides, in the cracks of the high hills; let me see your face, let your voice come to my ears; for sweet is your voice, and your face is fair. 15 Take for us the foxes, the little foxes, which do damage to the vines; our vines have young grapes. 16 My loved one is mine, and I am his: he takes his food among the flowers. 17 Till the evening comes, and the sky slowly becomes dark, come, my loved one, and be like a roe on the mountains of Bether.

PRESIDENT CLINTON: Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for being here to ensure the reelection of President Obama and Vice President Biden. I thank you very much. (Applause.)
You know, I was worried about getting half a step slow doing this because my whole life is my foundation now. I'm a little rusty at politics. (Laughter.) But this is my -- wait, wait, wait. This is my third event tonight where I am the warm-up act for the President. (Applause.) So I am about to get my steps down and my rhythm going, you know?
Here's what I want to say. Your presence here tonight is important. Your support is important. And perhaps, most important of all, your willingness to leave here and talk to people about this election not just in New York but all across this country is profoundly important. (Applause.) Because I've found there's a lot of murkiness out there. So let me just be as simple as I can. I don't think it's important to reelect the President; I think it's essential to reelect the President -- if we want this country to go in the right direction. (Applause.)
I know things are not perfect now. I know they're a little slow now. But let me just remind you that when the President took office a little over three years ago, in the month he took the oath of office we lost 800,000 jobs. Starting on September the 15th, we entered the deepest crash since the Great Depression. If you look at history, those things take five or 10 years to get over, and if there's a housing collapse along with it, closer to 10 years. He's on schedule to beat that record.
And so we have to go out to people who are still hurting, who are still uncertain, and who hear the airways full of contradictory assertions, and basically give them the facts. And here they are: In the last 27 months, this economy has created 4.3 million private sector jobs. (Applause.) That is -- to give you some perspective on how many that is, that's 60 percent more private sector jobs that were created in the seven years and eight months of the previous administration before the financial meltdown -- (applause) -- and about the same number per month as were created during the time I had the honor of serving.
Now, second thing -- they tell you how terrible his health care bill is. It's hard for them since Governor Romney's finest act as governor was to sign a bill with the individual mandate in it, which he has now renounced. But let me tell you a couple things about it. Number one, for the first time in 50 years we have had two years in a row where health care costs have only gone up 4 percent -- first time in 50 years.
Number two, the American people this year got $1.3 billion in refunds on their health care premiums -- because you've got to spend 85 percent of that premium on health care today, not profits or promotion. (Applause.) Number three, there are 2.6 million young people, 26 and under, who are insured today for the first time because they're on their parent's policy. (Applause.)
So -- and look, this is a huge deal. I talk to people in this business all over America. They would be mortified if this bill were repealed because they say we're finally making progress. We're going to stop paying for procedures, start paying for performance. We're going to have plans that will bring our cost down in line with our competitor and improve the quality of care. People in health care -- the President and I just came from an event and there were two woman doctors who said, we are doctors for health care reform and we are here because we can see it working already, that it's coming. (Applause.)
Now, manufacturing is coming back for the first time since the 1990s. Green tech jobs, in spite of the attacks from Governor Romney and the Republicans, grew at twice the rate of other jobs after the economic downturn, and paid 35 percent more.
The automobile industry was headed for a calamity, and two of the great auto companies in America were saved by a financial agreement that had management, labor and government restructuring the company. There are 80,000 more people making cars today than there were when Barack Obama became President. (Applause.) And 1.5 million people had their jobs saved. (Applause.)
Car mileage standards are going to be doubled because of an agreement between management and labor, and the environmental groups and government. And as we double those car mileage standards, 150,000 high-paying jobs will be created, creating the new technologies to make it possible.
And I could give you 50 more things, but you get the idea. Why aren't things roaring along now? Because Europe is in trouble and because the Republican Congress has adopted the European economic policy. Who would have thought, after years and years, even decades, in which the Republican right attacked "old Europe," that they would embrace the economic policies of the eurozone -- austerity and unemployment now at all costs. (Laughter.) I mean after all, their unemployment rate is 11 percent, and ours is 8 -- we can get right up there if we just adopt their policies. (Laughter and applause.)
You're laughing, but you need to tell people this. That's what they're being asked to vote for. They're being asked to reject a President who has tried to give us a 21st century economic policy, and said, no, no, growth and jobs now -- broad-based growth, fair growth that includes all Americans. Then we'll put the hammer down on the spending to avoid the debt exploding at the time when economic growth occurs so that we won't have high interest rates and we won't kill off the recovery.
The Republican policy is the reverse. Governor Romney says, no, austerity and unemployment now, and then when we -- if we ever get out of this thing, then we're going to cut taxes so much, we'll explode the debt then and see just how high we can drive interest rates, and how we can make the economy -- that is their economic policy. It was their economic policy, and it is. And it doesn't work.
So we're laughing, we're having a good time tonight. The night belongs to the President and to you. But I'm telling you, I spent a lifetime in public service and now with my foundation, desperately trying to figure out how to give people a better chance -- desperately trying to figure out how to create jobs. (Applause.) And he analyzed this situation properly. He did the best he could with a lousy hand. And he will do better if the American people said, no, we don't want to go back to what got us in trouble in the first place. Give us a 21st century economy we can all be a part of. (Applause.)
That's what President Obama will do. Let's bring him on with a big hand! Stand up for the President! (Applause.)

Motorcyclists '23% better' behind the wheel of a car.
MOTORCYCLISTS are 23% safer behind the wheel of a car than non-motorcyclists, according to a leading insurer.Equity Red Star compared car drivers to car users who also have an insured motorcycle, and found the latter 23% less likely on average to make a claim on their car policy.The firm also adjusted the figures to take into account the different typical ages of car drivers and motorcyclists, and still found the riders to be 21% better behind the wheel. The results showed motorcyclists were 20% less likely to make a bodily injury claim on their car policy.The insurer examined 200 million policies between 2007 and 2012.Rob Clark, Equity Red Star's Head of Retail Motor, said: "A motorcyclist could, behind the wheel of a car, be said to be 23% better."Clark presented the data yesterday at a conference organised by the Motorcycle Industry Association to examine evidence that increasing the number of motorcyclists on the road could actually improve safety.The conference was held in the offices of the Department for Transport in London.
CDC Task Force to Recommend Mandatory Helmet Laws
The Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) reports that the rumors are true. A Centers for Disease Control (CDC) task force is set to issue a report calling on all 50 States to enact mandatory helmet law. The task force, known as the Community Preventative Services Task Force, is a 15 member, non-federal, independent group that utilizes CDC staff and resources to develop 'Findings and Rationale Statements'. These statements make recommendations that run the gamut of topics from asthma control to work place safety. The past recommendations have included motor vehicles, focusing on seat belts, child seats and alcohol use. This is the first time the task force has recommended anything to do with motorcycling. Task force members are appointed by the Director of the CDC and serve a five-year term. All current members are doctors, with one exception.
The report claims that mandatory helmet laws will save lives and money. This is the same tired, lopsided theme used by the CDC in their last report about motorcycle safety. According to the CDC website the six main safety tips for riders are: always wear a DOT helmet, never drink and ride, don't let friends drink and ride, avoid tailgating, wear bright colored protective clothing, and don't ride fast on gravel. There is not one mention of rider education or licensing. It is not a surprise that the CDC's answer to motorcycle safety are helmet laws, it is their go to answer. The new report was drafted by associates of the individuals that issued the last CDC motorcycle safety report. The repetition is to be expected. In conversations with the MRF, the CDC clearly expressed their opinion that rider education does not work. Strangely lacking from the long list of prior recommendations of the task force was distracted driving.
One would think that a group of highly educated individuals may appreciate that education should play a role in motorcycle safety. The motorcycle safety community has proven that rider education works. Over the first 10 years of the New Hampshire State motorcycle safety rider education program, more than 23,000 motorcyclists were trained and since then only one person from the 23,000 has been in a fatal crash.
In addition, the CDC asserts that fatalities have nearly doubled since 2000 while failing to take into account the increase in registered motorcycles. In fact, in 2000 there were 2,862 fatal crashes for 4.9 million registered motorcycles. This means in 2000 .058 percent of all registered motorcycles were involved in a fatal crash. In 2010 there were 4,502 fatalities for 8.4 million registered motorcycles, which puts just .053 percent of registered motorcycles in a fatal crash. A slight decrease in the ratio of registered motorcycles to fatalities with 3.5 million more motorcycles on the road. These are just some of the facts presented from the CDC research that have been presented at all four MRF conferences going back to fall of 2012.
The CDC solution to motorcycle safety is safer crashing. We at the MRF have been urging the government to shift the focus of motorcycle safety to crash avoidance, not safer crashing. The best crash is the one that does not happen.
The task force report will try to convince their reader that states with choice helmet laws experience a higher amount of health care costs. That's just not true. In 2010, the Kaiser Family Foundation conducted a study of inpatient hospital expenses by state. Of the 12 most expensive states for daily inpatient hospital expenses, seven had mandatory helmet laws. The 12 least expensive states for daily inpatient hospital expenses, four had mandatory helmet laws. Mandatory helmet laws do not save money.
Members of Congress recently sent a letter at the request of the MRF, asking the CDC to discontinue this sort of research. The letter asks the CDC director to focus on such issues as heart disease and not motorcycle safety. The letter was authored by Mr. Tom Petri (WI) and was publicized and promoted on Capitol Hill by the MRF. The MRF sent numerous releases asking the motorcyclists to help get congressional support. The CDC Director's response is sure to be weak, but will be reported on.
The MRF learned from CDC staff that the task force report is expected to become public sometime the first week of December. The MRF is working on obtaining an embargoed copy of the report. This is certain to be national news. Even the staff members at the CDC are aware of this and are calling the report 'controversial'.
Use the MRF's latest 'Fact or Fiction' piece, which was made public at the most recent Bikers Inside the Beltway event in Washington D.C. in May of 2013 to educate your legislators. The one page document has information about the CDC and the misconception related to the effectiveness of helmet laws. The MRF encourages you to use this information and contact your friends in Congress to let them know this is coming.
You can view the 'Fact or Fiction' piece here:
Be armed with the facts, its likely that you will be contacted by media reporters, friends and family members asking you why you support helmet law choice. Be informed and vigilant. We need to stand up for our rights. You have to defend yourself because no one else will.
Should you need any documentation or information do not hesitate to contact the MRF D.C. office.

Las Posadas
Las Posadas is a nine-day celebration with origins in Spain, now celebrated chiefly in Mexico, Guatemala and parts of the Southwestern United States,[1][2] beginning December 16 and ending December 24, on evenings (about 8 or 10 PM).
Posada is Spanish for "lodging", or "accommodation"; it is said in plural because it is celebrated more than one day in that period. The nine-day novena represents the nine months of pregnancy,[3][4] specifically the pregnancy of Mary carrying Jesus.
The procedure has been a tradition in Mexico for 400 years. While its roots are in Catholicism, even Protestant Latinos follow the tradition.[3] It may have been started in the 16th century by St. Ignatius of Loyola or Friar Pedro de Gant in Mexico.[4][5] It may have been started by early friars who combined Spanish Catholicism with the December Aztec celebration of the birth of Huitzilopochtli.[4]
The head of the procession will have a candle inside a paper lampshade. At each house, the resident responds by singing a song and Mary and Joseph are finally recognized and allowed to enter. Once the "innkeepers" let them in, the group of guests come into the home and kneel around the Nativity scene to pray (typically, the Rosary). Latin American countries have continued to celebrate this holiday to this day, with very few changes to the tradition. In some places, the final location may be a church instead of a home.
Individuals may actually play the various parts of Mary (María) and Joseph with the expectant mother riding a real donkey (burro), with attendants such as angels and shepherds acquired along the way, or the pilgrims may carry images of the holy personages instead. Children may carry poinsettias.[6] The procession will be followed by musicians, with the entire procession singing posadas such as pedir posada.[4] At the end of each night's journey, there will be Christmas carols (villancicos), children will break open star-shaped piñatas to obtain candy and fruit hidden inside, and there will be a feast.[4][7] Piñatas are traditionally made out of clay. It is expected to meet all the invitees in a previous procession.
Regional variations[edit]
In Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco the Vallarta Botanical Gardens hosts a Las Posadas celebration on December 20 During workshops in the daytime, participants make their own nativity scenes with local natural materials including Spanish moss. In the evening, carolers proceed to nativities that are placed among important plants including poinsettias and native Mexican pines. A bonfire and more singing rounds out the celebrations.
In Wisconsin, the procession may occur within a home, rather than outside, because of the weather.[3]
An event in Portland, Oregon terminates with Santa Claus and donated Christmas gifts for needy children.[8]
In New York, worshippers may drink Atole, a corn-sugar drink traditional during Christmas.[9]
A large procession occurs along the San Antonio River Walk and has been held since 1966.[10][11] It is held across large landmarks in San Antonio, Texas, including the Arneson River Theater, Museo Alameda, and the Spanish Governor's Palace, ending at the Cathedral of San Fernando.[12]
Similar celebrations[edit]
In the Philippines, which shares Spanish culture due to being a former possession, the Posadas tradition is illustrated by the Panunulúyan pageant. Sometimes it is performed right before the Misa de Gallo (Midnight Mass), or on each of the nine nights. The main difference with the original is that actors portray Mary and Joseph instead of statues, and they sing the lines requesting for accommodation. The lines of the "innkeepers" are also sung, but sometimes they respond without singing. Another difference is that the lyrics are not in Spanish but in one of the local languages, such as Tagalog.
Nicaragua has an event, called La Gritería (The Shoutings), which happens only one day, on December 7, in honor of La Purísima Virgen (The Purest Virgin). The people go out on the street, sing to the Virgin and then visit their neighbors for food, drink and gifts.
Cuba also has something similar, called Parrandas (though Parrandas has more of a Carnaval in atmosphere). The tradition began in the 18th century when Father Francisco Vigil de Quiñones, the priest of the Grand Cathedral of Remedios, in order to get the people to come to midnight masses the week before Christmas had the idea to put together groups of children and provide them with jars, plates and spoons so they could run around the village making noise and singing verses. The idea persisted over the years and with time it gain complexity ending in the street party that has remained till these days.
Colombia during the same time has a tradition known as the novena of aguinaldos.

Star Wars reference
In the FEMA Detention Middle, there is an e-mail on of the computers titled "Clean up of parking area." After the body of text, there is a postscript: "P.S. Episode 9 tonight? If so, let's go early. I detest standing in lines." This is likely a reference to the rumored continuation of the Star Wars series with a new trilogy of episodes numbered 7-9 set to happen after the original trilogy, and a jab at the fact the Star Wars movies are infamous for having long lines on opening weekend.

It's tempting to go to the hilt when decorating and furnishing your baby's room, especially if it's your first-born. Major retailers peddle pretty -- and pricey -- cribs, dressers, wall hangings, and decorations that are hard to resist. But if you'd like to sock away some of that money for a college fund instead of top-of-the-line items, you can create a cheap baby nursery with tips from moms who have done it.

Cheap Nursery Furniture. Mom and Cheapism writer Raechel Conover was able to save on the bigger pieces of furniture. She got a really cheap crib off of Amazon and a deeply discounted changing table from Ikea because it was the floor model and the last available. A rocking chair and a bookshelf came as hand-me-downs from friends.
Mom and baby products designer Jennifer Porter of Satsuma Designs says a good way to make a cheap baby nursery that is also environmentally friendly is by taking on DIY projects with items you already have. Odds and ends brightened with no-VOC, semigloss paint can become accessories and decorations for the nursery. She also recommends getting furniture that does double-duty. An old dresser can work as a changing station and a coat stand can hold some baby clothes and accessories such as hats and blankets.
Nursery Carpets, Window Treatments, and Bedding. For a rug, Raechel and her spouse had a local flooring company cut down and bind a large scrap of carpet. The result was much cheaper than an area rug from a retailer. Raechel found that buying bedding sets was more expensive than buying separately. She also received some bedding as shower gifts.
You can get creative in a cheap baby nursery with recovered throw pillows and window treatments, Porter suggests. You can update old sheets by sewing -- or finding someone you know who can sew -- ribbons around the perimeter. You can also use ribbon or wallpaper scraps to update lampshades for the baby's room.

Cheap Nursery Decorations. For Raechel, decorations mostly came as gifts from her shower registry as well, but she did get wall decals for the sports-themed nursery from Amazon, which had cheaper options and a wider variety.
"One idea I heard, though, is to save baby shower cards and frame them in frames from the dollar store or the thrift store -- anywhere you can find cheap frames -- for wall decorations," she says. "I might consider this if I have another child." Another idea is to frame scraps of a quilt or blanket.
Decorate with cheap nursery decorations.
Other Tips. Other ideas for a cheap baby nursery include sewing together discount wicker baskets to make a toy chest. You can also hang paper lanterns from the ceiling for an alternative light source and something fun for the baby to look at or hang a baby blanket on the wall instead of using it in the crib.

About.com recommends looking at garage sales (check out our blog post on finding yard sales in your area), thrift shops, and flea markets for baby furniture, or thinking outside the box and purchasing used or cheap adult furniture that can be painted or redecorated for the nursery. You can also use scraps of wood that have been sanded and painted for shelving. Stencil the walls instead of buying wallpaper. You'll only use many baby items for a little while, so try to get incredibly cheap and gently used items from other moms you know or through groups or swap meets.
What shouldn't you waste money on in your cheap baby nursery? Raechel says you don't need noise- or light-blocking curtains, as normal shades should work just fine. She also says to focus on function over cuteness. One way she accomplished this was by hanging shelves and storing stuffed animals on them. They serve as decorative items now, but they'll become toys as her son gets older.
