Living and Learning in Newing College
At Binghamton University, we believe that you learn so much outside of the classroom that students live in residence halls called colleges. Newing College is one of those places where you not only live, but you learn. Because a large part of your growth as a college student happens outside the classroom, Professor Mark Reisinger, the Faculty Master of Newing College works to bridge your home to the academic side of campus. We like to think of Newing College as one big Learning Community. We offer sections of several University courses just for Newing College students in addition to dozens of programs offered each year by our Resident Assistants. Newing College provides many opportunities to interact with students outside the classroom including seminars by our Newing College Fellows on subjects that have included health, nutrition, Tai‐Kwon‐Do and a host of other topics. Students here feel like they are part of a small community while simultaneously enjoying everything that the University has to offer.
For an inside look at the Faculty Master of Newing College, Professor Reisinger, click here. Newing College offers three distinct Learning Communities, where students who live together (in Newing College) also learn together.
Global Engagement Learning Community
The goal of the Global Engagement Learning Community is to provide both our international and domestic residents with a cross-cultural learning experience. During the fall semester World Regional Geography will be taught simultaneously to a group of students in China and Binghamton University students. An English as a Second Language course has been scheduled for Newing International students. English speaking Newing residents are encouraged to volunteer to be English speaking partners for the Community's International students.
Education Learning Community
The Education Learning Community was established to offer students interested in the field of education an opportunity to interact with the faculty from Binghamton University's School of Education. Special events are planned to introduce students to the field and local educators. The goal of the program is to provide Newing residents that are interested in education as a possible career, the opportunity to learn more about the field and to interact with those that work as teachers and educators.
Newing Leadership Program
The Leadership Program will combine a classroom experience that you will earn INTERNSHIP CREDIT for as well as participation in area-wide traditions and events. Program participants will be housed in double rooms with private bathrooms in Newing. Participants will be automatically enrolled in the Leadership class that meets in the fall and spring semesters on Tuesdays from 6:30-8:30pm. The goal of the Program is to provide participants with leadership knowledge and opportunities within Newing, across campus, or in the Binghamton area.
Binghamton University Scholars Program Learning Community:
Each year, Binghamton University invites 100 outstanding incoming freshmen to join the Binghamton University Scholars Program, a selective all-University four-year honors program for students of exceptional merit. For the first year, all Scholars live in the Scholars Learning Community in Endicott Hall or Broome Hall, both of which are residence halls in Newing College. The Scholars program is by invitation only, and details can be found at http://scholars.binghamton.edu. All Scholars freshmen take the same section of SCHL127 Discovering the Scholar Within - Thinking Like Leaonardo daVinci.
Courses and Discussion Sections
These are area based courses open only to students living in Newing Community. ABCs (area-based courses) are introductory courses (or in most cases, discussion sections of courses) specifically designated for first-year students who reside in the community sponsoring these courses. In ABCs you go to class with the students living in the same college or community, form study groups together, and develop deep, lasting friendships based on life both in and out of the classroom.

roma is in good shape at the moment,but still struglling. vuccic misses great opportunity. he needs to learn how to score in one/one cases
Roma need a player like Palosci of Parma, i think Milan should have loaned him to Roma rather than Parma, he is doing well at Parma, but playing alongside Totti and Vucinic he would have improved more and more, good luck Roma in the Derby! Though i am a little bit Laziali!
Two seasons ago we could have bought Di Natalie from Udinese.
Splash some cash in the next summer transfer. The backline will forever leak goals.

PARIS - Used to be the French Open was the scene for clay-court specialists and surprise champions.
Scan the list of past winners and runners-up. There's Gaston Gaudio and Albert Costa, Martin Verkerk and Guillermo Coria, Andres Gomez and Mariano Puerta. Not so much a "Who's Who." More like a "Who's He?"
The women's list features fewer out-of-nowhere names, yet does include those such as Iva Majoli, Anastasia Myskina and Francesca Schiavone, who all won while never making it past the quarterfinals at any other Grand Slam event.
With the second major set to begin Sunday at Roland Garros, there is little thought being given to that sort of stunning outcome, thanks to Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams.
As seven-time major champion John McEnroe put it: "It's pretty obvious who the favorite is."
He meant, of course, Nadal, who won his record seventh French Open title last year and is 52-1 for his career. Consider, too, the nearly perfect way the he has played after seven months away because of a left knee injury: Since returning in February, the Spaniard is 36-2, reaching the finals at all eight tournaments he's entered, winning six.
"I am enjoying every moment, and eight finals in a row is wonderful," Nadal said. "Four, five months ago, it was impossible to think about this."
He wore a wrap of white tape below that troublesome knee while practicing Thursday afternoon on Court Philippe Chatrier with the temperature in the 40s (less than 10 degrees Celsius) for about an hour before heavy rain fell; the forecast calls for more wet weather in the coming days.
Nadal has cut down on the amount of time he spends training on court, one concession to the recurring knee problems, which also forced him to pull out of Wimbledon in 2009, when he would have been the defending champion.
"I'm really happy for him, and impressed that he's come back," said McEnroe, an analyst for Tennis Channel, among other TV outlets. "It seems like he's barely lost anything, if at all. Right now, he seems to be finally, he says, playing the best he's been playing the whole year, which is sort of frightening for the other players."
And yet Nadal will not be seeded No. 1 when the draw is held today.
That's because the French Open decided to strictly follow the rankings, and Nadal's time away deducted enough points that he is currently No. 4 (he'll move up one spot to No. 3 in the seedings, because No. 2 Andy Murray, the reigning U.S. Open champion, withdrew because of a bad back).

Regional Economy and Current Trends in Regional Employment |
May 6, 2011 |
William C. Dudley, President and Chief Executive Officer Remarks at the Quarterly Regional Economic Press Briefing, New York City Good morning and welcome once again to the New York Fed's Quarterly Regional Economic Press Briefing. I am pleased to have this opportunity to talk with the journalists covering our region—and through you, to the people in our District. This morning I will discuss national and regional economic conditions, with particular attention to employment trends in the Second Federal Reserve District, which covers New York; northern New Jersey; Fairfield County, Connecticut; Puerto Rico; and the U.S. Virgin Islands. I will not comment on the outlook for monetary policy today but instead will focus on the economy itself. Following my remarks, my colleagues will provide more detail. As always, what I have to say reflects my own views and not necessarily those of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) or the Federal Reserve System. National Economic Conditions Since then growth has been somewhat softer than anticipated, with real gross domestic product (GDP) increasing at only a 1.8 percent annual rate in the first quarter of 2011. A number of factors contributed to the slowdown. Construction activity fell—likely reflecting the continued large supply of unsold homes—and government expenditures at the federal, state and local levels declined. In addition, real, or inflation-adjusted, consumption growth in the first quarter was slower than in the last quarter of 2010. This occurred, in part, because of the rise in gasoline and food prices that pushed up consumer price inflation last quarter and reduced discretionary income. The rise in energy prices contributed to a fall in consumer confidence, which also may have had a negative impact on consumer spending. However, the weakness of real GDP growth in the first quarter probably will prove temporary. In particular, production and business survey indicators, including the New York Fed's own Empire State Manufacturing Survey, generally continue to signal strength. And financial conditions continue to improve. The temporary reduction in payroll taxes and other fiscal measures also are providing support to demand. In addition, demand abroad—particularly in Asia—remains robust, supporting our exports. Most importantly, the labor market has shown further improvement, as demonstrated by today's employment report. Although payroll employment growth has been subdued during most of this recovery, the latest figures show the economy added 244,000 jobs in April—and an average of 233,000 over each of the past three months. While the unemployment rate—which is based on a different survey—ticked higher last month to 9 per cent it is nonetheless 0.8 percentage points lower than it was in November, a relatively rapid decline by historic standards, Private-sector job growth has been strong enough to more than offset government layoffs, particularly at the state and local level. A particularly encouraging sign is the rapid growth of manufacturing jobs over the past year and the recent broadening strength in services employment. While the exact pace of a jobs market recovery is always hard to predict, we were expecting the rate of job growth to pick up over the first half, and I am hopeful that job growth will continue to strengthen in the coming months. We would welcome this. Even if the economy added 300,000 jobs per month from now on, we would likely still have considerable labor market slack at the end of 2012. Despite these clearly encouraging signs, there are still some downside risks to the growth outlook that bear watching. Let me list them for you:
That said, I want to emphasize that these are risks rather than likely outcomes. In regard to inflation, on a year-over-year basis, the headline measures have increased to levels near those consistent with our objectives—which most members of the FOMC consider to be 2 percent or a bit less on the personal consumption expenditures measure. Moreover, the rise in commodity prices over the past year probably will push up headline inflation even further in coming months. It is noteworthy, however, that even with the sharp rise in oil and food prices, there has been little pass-through into broader measures of prices. In fact, most measures of underlying inflation trends—such as core inflation (which excludes volatile food and energy prices)—remain below levels consistent with our mandate. Going forward, futures markets do not signal that investors expect rapid ongoing increases in commodity prices from current levels. Provided these prices stabilize (or indeed retreat), I would expect headline inflation to move back to a mandate-consistent rate. While this process plays out, however, it is critical that we ensure that inflation expectations do not become unmoored. It is much harder to keep inflation in check if people begin to raise their expectations of inflation. At this point, measures of inflation expectations overall remain stable. Economists at the New York Fed have examined inflation expectations using a unique survey that we sponsor. As reported in a recent post on our new Liberty Street Economics blog, they find no evidence to suggest that a wage-price inflation spiral is getting underway. However, we will continue to monitor expectations for medium-term inflation very closely. To sum up, economic conditions have improved in the past year. Yet, the recovery remains moderate and we still have a considerable way to go to meet the Fed's dual mandate of full employment and price stability. Regional Economic Conditions I am pleased to report that the latest months of data no longer suggest that the regional recovery has paused, as they indicated in February. Based on these measures:
We monitor Puerto Rico using an index produced by the Government Development Bank of Puerto Rico. The index shows that the decline in activity on the island began in 2005 and continued through late 2010. However, there are some signs that the economy has stabilized in recent months. Regional Employment Trends Nationally, the Great Recession, which began in December 2007, has been the deepest economic downturn since World War II. At the jobs trough in February 2010—about 7 months after the official end of the recession—the country had lost almost 6.5 percent of its jobs and the unemployment rate had more than doubled. Many people lost their jobs or saw their hours or income cut, and the duration of unemployment for jobless workers reached a historical high. For many families, this distress was compounded by losses of wealth from declining home prices and stock market losses. Since the jobs trough, unemployment has retreated by a percentage point and jobs growth has resumed, albeit at a slow pace. Today, we will review questions about jobs in our region such as: How severe was the downturn? Where are jobs returning? And, what factors affect the employment outlook? As in other parts of the country, employment in our region declined substantially during the recession. But, New York and New Jersey and Puerto Rico had very different experiences. Employment in much of New York State, including New York City, declined less severely than the nation. Both the state and city lost about 3.8 percent of their jobs. As we discussed at our briefing last October, part of reason for the more moderate decline in jobs in New York during the recession was a less pronounced boom-bust housing cycle. Indeed, as a percentage, the city and state lost fewer jobs during this recession than they did during either of the last two downturns. By contrast, the downturn in employment in New Jersey in the current cycle was more severe. About 250,000 jobs were lost, or roughly 6.0 percent of total state employment—about the same as in the country as a whole. This decline is comparable to the job losses during the most severe recent recession in the state, that of 1989-1992. Fairfield County in Connecticut, also part of our District, saw declines comparable to the nation, while Puerto Rico experienced much deeper and longer job declines than the nation. In fact, employment in Puerto Rico began declining nearly two years before the onset of the recession on the mainland. Now, as in the nation, a labor market recovery has begun across much of the region. Over the past year, the tri-state region added roughly 100,000 private-sector jobs. Within the region, however, the recovery has been somewhat uneven. New York City, upstate New York and Fairfield County have been gaining jobs for more than a year now—at roughly the same pace as the nation. However, employment in New Jersey has only begun to expand during the past few months. In Puerto Rico, job growth has yet to be firmly established. The recession, which began in 2005, has seen employment leveling off since last summer, but no clear reestablishment of growth. Businesses in a variety of services sectors have contributed to the recovery of jobs in the region, including professional and business services, education and health, and leisure and hospitality, as well as finance. The overall expansion of our private sector is being partially offset by ongoing losses in manufacturing and construction, where firms in our region are not matching the modest growth seen in jobs at the national level. In addition, state and local government jobs in our district have declined sharply. After holding steady for much of the recession, state and local governments in New York and New Jersey have reduced job counts by more than 40,000. These losses effectively offset about half of the private-sector jobs created over the period. The government job declines were particularly severe in New Jersey and Puerto Rico, and considerably steeper than in the United States overall. Looking ahead, the continued expansion of employment at the national level should have positive effects on many industries in our region. As elsewhere, state and local government will likely be a drag for some time. However, some new detailed job listing data point to an expansion of job openings in a number of key occupations in the region. Finally, despite the overall recovery of employment across much of the region, unemployment rates remain very high. Although down from their year-ago levels, March's unemployment rate of 8.0 percent in New York State and 9.3 percent in New Jersey remain unacceptably high. And there is disappointingly little evidence of any sustained improvement in Puerto Rico's 16.1 percent unemployment rate. Conclusion During the Great Recession, most of New York sustained less severe job losses than the nation as whole. By contrast, New Jersey's losses were comparable to the rest of the country and Puerto Rico's job losses have been more severe. As the recovery takes shape, private services are the most likely source of job growth throughout the region. There are many reasons to believe conditions are in place for stronger growth in the coming months in the nation and the region. Nevertheless, both nationally and regionally, unemployment remains stubbornly high and is likely to remain so for many months to come. Thank you for your kind attention. I will now ask James Orr to provide more details on regional economic conditions. |

How to do Keyword Research for International Marketing?
Any international marketing drive on the Web starts with identification and tagging of the right keywords, which is a result of intense keyword research. Implementing the best search engine optimization techniques for a transnational group demands expertise and an augmented set of search engine skills. A prominent one among them is recognizing the perfect keywords for your international audience. In order to develop and kick-start a systematic campaign for worldwide marketing, you need to know about the right ways to do keyword research for your international propaganda.
Niche keyword research:
The initial step in keyword research is to prepare an extensive list of niche keywords. 'Niche' keywords are the specific set of keywords that are aimed at satisfying your target audience, who are in search of your products/services. Only these keywords will help them identify your business, when they are looking for similar products/ services on the Web. Think simple and think in terms of a layman for various types of keywords your potential users might use. You can make use of any of your historical data, the Google keyword tool, internal search information, PPC facts, analytics data, insight from your competitors, Google Suggest details etc., to generate the keywords list. This comprehensive list will ensure that you don't miss out on any of the important keywords when you are focusing on your international group.
Refine your research for each country:
As a business person, you will certainly have a list of countries to which you have planned to take your business. Undoubtedly, every overseas market is different and the buying behavior, interests, attitudes and needs of your target group will vary for each country. All you can do to attract traffic in a specific country is to refine the master research list of your niche keywords according to the country.
Check spelling variations:
When it comes to ranking your website, search engines also consider the appropriate spellings used for your keywords as per the standards of a particular country. Getting yourself acquainted with differences in spelling gives you the confidence of fulfilling the objectives of international marketing, by accounting for all variations. For your website to appear in the top of the SERPs of a specific country, it is a must that you check spelling variations even if you are using a common language like English.
For example, you are selling helmets and your brand's name is Century. A customer from UK needs a black helmet. He searches with the keywords 'Black Colour Century Helmet'. Your website will appear in the top search engine results page only if you have checked for spelling variations and used the British English spelling of the word (Colour) instead of the American English spelling (Color). This is the kind of impact that a single letter in your keyword can have on your international marketing.
Use a translation providing service:
It is always a great idea to use a translation providing service on your website, preferably on your home page and all the important web pages on your site. This will make things easy for your users and give them the comfort and confidence of being assisted by someone. A reliable translation providing service makes your website a one-stop shop for all your customers across the globe.
Keyword research is a vital element that determines the success of an online business. Understanding how and what people search for is the key to success. Start your keyword research instantly for your international marketing campaign using these tips. To obtain the most suitable results, carry out your research with appropriate local search engines as well.

@financialhost, I agree with you about the geographical location. Right now it seems like I am getting hits including some location and the ones without a location is almost non-existence right now.
I have seen it before but it is even more frequent land/or longer lasting.
I also see a lot of G+ crap so is Google tryiong to become a new SIRI trying to answer every question someone have and make it local?
Q: I am looking for some entertainment?
G: You are close to this location. According to G+ it is a prime location for entertainment. We have some ads for items you might need.
Google might just have ONE big result instead of 4 or 7 or 10 with a comglomerate of things they scraped so the SERP will look like one of those auto generated articles you find everywhere and that doesn't make sense.
Maybe a lot more people will go to Bing when you can rewards for searching?!? Better than AdSense?

Doctor Carman the First Witness It was at 1.55 that the doctor ar¬ rived. Hia rotund flgure Ib well known to Freeporters. He was clad in a gray sack suit and wore a rather gaudy Scotch plaid necktie in which blue stripes crlss crossed with white. With his red cheeks he presented the ap¬ pearance of a truly patriotic citizen on the day before the Fourth of July. Tbe doctor was not wholly at hi.s ease when he entered nor even as he Htood up before Justice Norton and 'was fiworn. H Bold he lived In Fret'- yort and was a physician and surgeon 9j proCesakm.

He sat bacic in the witness chair and folded ha arms a.s though >.o reassure hniself and folded his leg.s beneath hini. The Dislrict Atiorney opened the eAiunination, the first of the inquest, in a plea.sant conversational mann;r, refering to Mr.s. alllley as "Lulu," ii nanuj which has not been heard in rouiieclion witb the murder case thus far before. "Do you remeraoer Airs. Lulu liai¬ ley," be^an the District Attorney. "I do," replied the doctor. "Did she call at your oiflce on Tups- day evening aboul twenty minuted uf eight o'clock?" Mrs. Bailey Arrived at 7:40 The physician said that she had come to the house while he was at supper, presumably about 7.40, .and that he had .seen her sometime there¬ after perhaps about ight o'clock. The office into which Mrs. Bailey had been e.scoried the doctor said, was on the we.sl side of the house. It contained two windows on the we.st side on on? his assistant George Weeks, Village i overlookinK an entrance porch on the President and Chief of police Roland j south. The two sat down together M.

Q—Before you dressed? A—Yes. Q—Had you told the doctor that it was there at that time? A—No. Q—Why did you think it was neces¬ sary to take it out so early? A—Well, I didn't want him to think that after this ocurrence that I was suspicious of him. I thought I would take it out and not let him know anythFhg about it; that if I was suspicious of him he wouldn't have any one to go to. With the same reserve that she had exhibited throughout the entire time she was on the witness stand, Mrs. Carman told how she had taken the dictograph from the wall of her hus. band's office in the early morning, garbed only in a night robe. She said she had taken it to the attic and there hidden it in a crevice between the stairs and wall. The Diatrict Attorney qaestioned the witness closely about her visits to the attic, about the guns belonging to Dr. Carman stored there and the boxes in which she admitted she stored cloth¬ ing. She said she had never fired a revolver and had never held one in her hand except when she cleaned ths doctor's drawer and moved his about. Mrs. Carman fiatly declared that she had never seen Mrs. Bailey until she went to the undertaker's in Hempstead to view her body at the suggestion of her attorney, George M. Levy. She as- serted that Mr. Levy had come to her home on another matter and someone suggested that he would be a good lawyer if they needed one. Coroner Norton asked her if she had listened to the dictograph on the night of the murder. "No 1 didn't," she firmly declared. CROWDS THRONG STREETS AND FILL DJNGY POLICE COURT The courtroom was filled to the very doors long before the witness arrived. DisUiiit Attorney Lewis .1.

Nice looking range
Works well. The middle griddle burner is very lame. My husband replaced the orafice with a larger opening and now we're getting a much better flame. The front left burner didn't bring water to a rolling boil, so he replaced that orafice too and it works better. Could be that we are at high altitude which can really mess with how hot a flame can get. The quality of the range is pretty good. The...

Possible internal electrical issue - beware!
I've been using this range for just over 4 months now, and while the performance is fine and it's easy to clean, I've had 2 oven light bulbs burn out already. When the first one burned out I just figured we were unlucky. But when the second burned out less than a month later, I called GE's warranty service in case there's some electrical issue inside causing the burnouts. They came out,...

Very Very Pleased
Hi, We're very pleased with this purchase. It's got all the features we saught, convection, large burner, grill burner. Plus, the continuous iron grates and large knobs gives it an upscale look. Knob turn quality and overall look and feel is fantastic. Minor things: Turning dials to zero may allow micro-flames go out, and the center griddle burner really should be more centered. We like the oven.

Center burner is pretty low heat.
Great range. Only one slighr problem. Otherwise great.

The list included restaurants all over the nation, many in metropolitan areas, including New York City, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and San Francisco. Clearly, Cúrate would hold its own in any city (although we already knew that just from eating there). Another of the list's trends: half of the restaurants are located in the South (if you count the Thai restaurant in D.C.).
Below, find an excerpt from Richman's observations on Cúrate. For the full article, visit GQ's website.
Cúrate is a prototype of how genuine tapas—the kind from Spain—might flourish throughout America. It's that accessible, and it's so appealing that the restaurant is packed day and night. Nothing here seems odd or incomprehensible, including the bocata de calamares, which is a fried-squid sandwich.

Casio EX-S200 Review

This is a good camera for a beginner, like myself. I came to come look at reviews for this camera, because on mine, it doesn't record in HD! The video is very small and the sound is terrible and etc! Is it because I processed it through the old Windows Movie Maker? Thank you.
I've had this camera for a year and a half now. It's held up good.
Also the sound stops recording after 5 minutes. ?

Arizona State signs 26 in 2014 football recruiting class
Head coach Todd Graham welcomed a 26-member recruiting class Wednesday, which was National Letter of Intent Day around college football.
"It was a great day," Graham told Burns and Gambo on Arizona Sports now on 98.7 FM. "I'm really proud of our staff and our players, who were very, very involved in this process.
"The key is evaluating and getting the right guys, I think this is the best recruting class in the internet era and that's all well and good, but we know we've got our needs met in terms of the character, the discipline and the toughness it takes to play here at Arizona State."
Highlighting this year's class is the fact that 14 of the 26 players who signed with ASU are designated as four-star recruits by at least one of the major recruiting news services. Twelve are ranked within the nation's top 30 players at their position.
There are also recruits flocking to Tempe from 11 different states, which Graham believes is a testament to what he and his staff are building at ASU.
"We've got a national brand and the success we had being Pac-12 South champions and winning 18 games in the last two years," Graham said. "Not only that, but what we do. (We have) one of the most explosive defenses in the country and one of the most explosive offenses.
"We signed one of the top players out of Colorado, the top player out of Oregon, some of the top players in Texas -- we did that all around the country."
ASU was only able to sign three recruits from the state of Arizona -- Higley offensive lineman Quinn Bailey, Goodyear Desert Edge linebacker Ismael Murphy-Richardson and Scottsdale Chaparral wide receiver Tyler Whiley. The third-year head coach wants to improve in this area.
"We want to be a lot better than that," Graham said. "I think we're going to be. We're laying the foundation to do that. You see guys locally like D.J. Foster and Jaxon Hood, and the success they're having. Guys like Chans Cox here in the future and the fact that we've had four freshman All-Americans, and two of them have been right here from the Valley."
In addition to the high school prospects, Graham signed five of ESPN Recruiting Nation's top 25 JC recruits in the country.
"I don't look at junior college as a bad thing. We signed ten the first year, nine last year and this year, in a normal year, we'll sign four to six," Graham said.
Also different in this year's class was the inclusion of not one, but two quarterbacks. Manny Wilkins, 6-2 signal caller from Novato, Calif. and Coltin Gerhart, a tough 6-foot product of Murrieta, Calif. The pair become the first quarterbacks to commit to ASU during Graham's tenure.
"Manny's a guy that has tremendous athleticism and great leadership ability," he said. "I love the toughness of Colin Gerhart, I'm looking forward to seeing those guys compete."
The Arizona State class grew by one more Thursday, as Kalen Ballage, a four-star athlete from Falcon High in Peyton, Colo., made good on a verbal commitment made in December and signed with ASU.
Ballage had several offers and also took official visits to Colorado, Washington and UCLA.

Six-Year-Old Cancer Survivor Plays Tee Ball With One Arm
June 25, 2012
© Veer
When he was two years old, Riley Rhoden of Pearland, Texas was diagnosed with a malignant tumor that could not be treated. The only way for Riley to live was through the amputation of his entire arm.

But instead of letting his loss get in the way, Riley's learned to work with what he has. Now six years old, Riley plays tee ball in his hometown. Riley's dad found videos of a one-armed Japanese baseball player, and Riley watched them to learn a new technique for his favorite sport.

Riley's mother said to KHOU that his determination to overcome the obstacles in his life have served as an inspiration to his peers and his parents. "Our son has lost so much, but I feel like he sacrificed to show the world, to show me that it's not about the diamonds or the purse you have," Riley's mother said. "It's amazing, it's inspiring and I would definitely classify it as a miracle."
We couldn't agree more.

Odds are against Snyder's attempt to save Detroit pensions and art
There was a lot of rejoicing yesterday at the news that the governor had signed on to a so-called "grand bargain" to help save the collections of the Detroit Institute of Arts.
Detroit is, of course, going through bankruptcy.
Creditors want as much as possible of the money owed them. Those counting on city pensions want to make sure they get their money, even if the DIA's world-class collections have to be sold.
Selling the art would be devastating not only to art lovers, but it might deal the city a cultural blow from which it could never recover.
Given all this, a coalition of foundations has raised pledges of $330 million to help shore up pension funds, on one condition: that the final bankruptcy settlement prevent any art from being sold.
The DIA, in other words, would be left intact.
Three hundred million plus, unfortunately, is a drop in the ocean when you consider that the city and its pension funds are billions in debt. The state was called upon to help. Yesterday, Gov. Snyder responded.
He wants the state to add to the effort by committing $350 million to the pension funds, quote "to help minimize pension cuts, to help protect art." For those of us who cannot imagine life without the DIA, this was gratifying.
But now for the cold shower: There are more strings attached to this than at a puppet show.
And even though the governor made this announcement with the Republican leaders of the House and Senate, there is no guarantee they are going to be able to deliver the votes to pass this. In fact, I think the odds are very much against it.
Here's why.
There is little love for Detroit among legislators from outstate Michigan, especially Republicans. There is even less enthusiasm for anything that sounds like a bailout.
The governor took great pains yesterday to say this wasn't a bailout, but that's what it looks like. Consider this: Everybody from Escanaba to Ecorse has a stake in repairing our atrocious roads.
But last year, the governor totally failed to get these lawmakers to appropriate the money needed for road repair.
Now, he expects them to ante up to help Detroit pension funds and art?
For many GOP lawmakers, supporting this would be inviting a Tea Party challenge in an August primary. By yesterday afternoon, some were already denouncing the deal.
Even if that could be overcome, consider this:
The fine print on the governor's offer says the state would only provide this money as part of a settlement of the entire bankruptcy, and that retirees and city worker unions would have to sign on to the deal. And some are still fighting the bankruptcy itself.
I think the best thing would be for U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Stephen Rhodes to rule that the DIA is off the table in any proposed settlement, since the art and the institution are not solely a city asset.
Indeed, he seemed to hint at that yesterday.
Still, it would be nice if that money on the table could be added to the city's troubled pension funds. My guess is that this saga is far from over, and that many twists and turns lie ahead.
