"If You Can Keep It"
Original post made by Tom Cushing on May 23, 2012
The specific organization in-question is the "offspring" of a fiscally conservative billionaire named Joe Ricketts, whose various interests include TDAmeritrade brokerage and the Chicago Cubs baseball team. The corporate entity, known as The Ending Spending Action Fund, commissioned a proposal to attack the incumbent President. The response was a 54-page plan, titled "The Defeat of Barack Hussein Obama"ť (because without the middle name, the Prez might have been confused with all those other Barack Obamas).
We may tend to forget just how routinely rough and tumble political campaigns have been in this country. Forget Willie Horton -- in 1800, Thomas Jefferson's campaign accused John Adams of plotting to marry his son to King George's daughter, thus somehow re-establishing British hegemony over the former colonies. Adams countered by calling Jefferson "the son of a half-breed Indian squaw, sired by a Virginia mulatto father." And who of my generation can forget the1964 LBJ ad in which a little girl's flower petal game is interrupted by a nuclear holocaust? By contrast, the Ricketts proposal sounds an almost complimentary tone, cynically calling Mr. Obama "metrosexual, black Abe Lincoln."ť
In the Ricketts plan, a high-profile group of former GOP strategists (or "pirates," to use their term) sought to attack the President's likeability by linking him to incendiary "black liberation theology" excerpts from his former pastor Jeremiah Wright's sermons. They proposed spending some $10 million to produce materials and buy media to coincide with the Dem Convention in Charlotte this summer. By depleting Obama's personal popularity, they hoped to open the door to the idea that someone else could do a better job -- "perhaps even Romney," in their words. To counter anticipated charges of racism, they recommended engaging a prominent conservative African American as primary spokesperson (and even claimed to have located such an individual).
Personally, while I believe that Mr. Obama does have an attractive persona -- nearly too cool for school -- the electorate has gotten to know him over the four years since the last campaign. Resurrecting Rev. Wright to play boogeyman at this late date seems awfully stale. Then again, these "pirates"ť were trying to persuade the owner of the Cubs -- a team that hasn't won anything since the Roosevelt Administration (Teddy's), so perhaps they'd have secured Mr. Ricketts' approval -- but for the fact that the plan leaked to the press while still under review.
The reaction was swift and remarkably bi-partisan. Mr. Romney, to his credit, stated "I repudiate the effort by that PAC to promote an ad strategy of the nature they've described. I would like to see this campaign focus on the economy, on getting people back to work." Mr. Ricketts also backed away from the stinker, calling it just one of several approaches under review. The Obama campaign gleefully sought to maximize its fund-raising potential.
What does this portend for the general election? Condemnation of the Ricketts Plan is a good start, but, as the saying goes, there's never just one roach in the kitchen. Both major party candidates have elements in their make-ups that will tempt opponents to play to deep fears and prejudices -- racial and religious. And you can bet that their tacticians are seeking ways to exploit those perceived weaknesses. SuperPAC influence will also reach down into the other federal races, as the polarized Parties seek advantages that can end the current Potomac stalemate. I suspect they will insinuate themselves into every element of the traditional and new media -- including the Comments sections of newspaper websites (but not here, of course). I think it's possible that the SuperPACs will over-play their hands, so saturating the ether that the electorate will tune them all out.
It does seem clear in this new era that never has it been more important for the electorate to arm itself with reliable information on its choices. Will we choose to do so? I'm reminded of the Benjamin Franklin quote: "We have given you a Republic -- if you can keep it." While ol' Ben may not have had SuperPACs specifically in mind, he was right about the dire responsibilities of self-governance. And so his question remains current: WILL we keep it?

Aside from your "nearly to cool for school comment" regarding Obama ( I personally think he's a phony ), I do agree with you on the Super PAC Fund issue. I recently exercised my right to free speech by notifying my union that they were not to take money from my paycheck for political purposes. Aside from that, I firmly believe that Super PACs have a trickle down effect; especially when it involves unions. I suspect that most union members are unaware, or simply don't care about where a portion of their money goes. Super PACs are bad for both political parties.

I guess we know why Obama always "claims" to be a Chicago White Sox fan, rather than a Chicago Cubs fan.
Reality is that he grew up in Hawaii and Indonesia, went to college back east, and only spent a few years in Chicago, his alleged home town.
I agree with Atticus Finch, that Obama is a phony. I bet he has no idea who Bill Melton, Ralph Garr, Minnie Minosa, Dick Allen are.
Go Cubs!!

Why do people like the Oakland raiders? As a football team, they kind of suck.
on Nov 20, 2009 at 12:04 am
I guess a true Raider fan(me include)is kinda like the owner of an old truck - The old truck has very little power, could use some new tires, doesn't go very fast, sometimes it leaves you somewhere, sometimes it gets you there and back, but with all its faults, you've had that old truck a long time and, even though it sucks, just can't let it go...:)

That's a good explanation. I guess there is a lot of tradition and history.

So it's the 14th day of the new year! How are you doing on your resolutions? Was one of your New Year's resolutions to improve your physique, aka to lose weight?
Weight loss is usually at or near the top of the list for New Year's resolutions. Weight loss can come via different routes. There's surgery in which the stomach is altered to decrease food intake. Then there's the non-surgical approach of diet and exercise.
Some people believe plastic surgery is a "weight loss" method, specifically the use of liposuction. It is absolutely not.
Technically speaking, plastic surgery is for contouring or reshaping the body. Liposuction does this by removing excess fat from areas. At least once a day when I'm seeing patients, I have a patient ask me "How much weight will I lose from liposuction?" And my answer is simply, "Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure." Liposuction, however, can make you look like you've lost weight as it pares down areas and can make you look more streamlined in your physique.
So, if you're looking for a smaller number on the scale, liposuction may leave you disappointed. What you may expect after liposuction is:
- Your clothes fit better.
- You have decreased bulging of certain areas, such as love handles, the abdomen, and back fat/bra bulge.
- You have improved body proportion - your upper body will look more in line with your lower body.
One last thing! Remember, even after liposuction you can gain weight! For tips on keeping your results, see Preventing the Return of Fat After Liposuction.

Groton – A boat that fell off its trailer Tuesday forced a partial shutdown of Interstate 95 North, backing up traffic and clogging secondary roads in Groton.
The accident was first reported at about 2:20 p.m., when state police were called to the scene of the overturned boat in the area of Exit 89. Crews spent several hours working at the scene while traffic piled up. Traffic was still a problem in areas at 6 p.m.
Motorists trying to avoid highway delays led to back-ups on Route 184, Route 12 and other side roads.

Police have identified the victim in Monday's fatal accident as 31-year-old Amber V. Roussel of Louisiana.
Officers are continuing to investigate the accident which caused a closure of Interstate 10 from MLK in Beaumont to Highway 105 in Vidor.
Investigators say around 4 p.m. Monday the driver of a white pickup heading eastbound was driving erratically and lost control of the truck near I-10 at Pine street. The truck went airborne and crashed into a concrete divider. The impact broke the bumper off of the vehicle, sending it into westbound traffic.
Police say a westbound vehicle struck the front end of the truck. The second impact knocked a "brush guard" style bumper off of the truck causing it to fly into a third vehicle that was also traveling westbound.
A male driver and a female passenger from Louisiana occupied the third vehicle. The impact with the bumper killed 31-year-old Amber V. Roussel. The male driver of the third vehicle was Roussel's husband. St. Elizabeth E. R. doctors treated Roussel's husband for minor injuries and he was subsequently released.
The driver of the white truck did not complain of injury. Officers took him to St. Elizabeth for a blood draw, which is mandatory in any fatality crash.
All lanes of the interstate were re-opened shortly before 11 p.m. Monday.
12News HD will have more information on the accident as it is released by officials.

You wouldn't know that the Steelers had dealt with much offseason drama by the way they have played this season up to the midway point.
Pittsburgh dominates the PFW Midseason All-Pro team, with a league-best four representatives — no other team even had three players make it — including three on defense and one on offense. Its run defense is head and shoulders above the rest of the NFL, and it shows on our list.
Two rookies in the trenches have impressed this season, including C Maurkice Pouncey, another Steeler.
The disappointing Cowboys were not represented, yet the Lions and Raiders each had two selections. Parity, anybody?
The Patriots, who had the NFL's best record through eight weeks, did not place a single player but did get their coach on the team — in typical Patriots fashion.
One of this season's themes has been that the top teams in the NFL are all in the AFC, and this list reflects it. Only 11 of the 28 members of our All-Pro team are from the NFC.
One other note: With so many teams playing 3-4 defenses, we decided this year, for the first time, to give you the best of both worlds by selecting four defensive linemen and four linebackers.
QB Peyton Manning, Colts: New offensive coordinator, expiring contract at the end of the season, a rash of injuries to teammates — no problem for Manning, who is still at the top of his game. He lost one of his favorite targets, TE Dallas Clark, for the season. RB Joseph Addai, WR Anthony Gonzalez and WR Austin Collie have all missed time because of injuries, and all Manning does is make everyone who replaces them better.
RB Adrian Peterson*, Vikings: The best between-the-tackles runner in the game, Peterson is having another terrific season amidst all the drama in Minnesota. Aside from his 80-yard TD run against the Lions, he hasn't had many huge runs, but consistently running 4-6 yards punishes defenses. And without Chester Taylor, Peterson has contributed more as a receiver.
RB Chris Johnson, Titans: After one of the best seasons ever for a running back, Johnson has seen opposing teams gear up to stop him, and his yards per carry is down. He probably won't tally 2,000 rushing yards again, but he's the key to the Titans' offense. Johnson has great patience in addition to his speed. Despite not being on a record-setting pace again, Johnson is one of the top backs in the league when it comes to finding the endzone.
WR Roddy White, Falcons: Despite leading the league in receptions, White is one of the more underrated receivers in the league. He is tremendously consistent, with 100 or more receiving yards in four of his first eight games. He's well-built, sure-handed and also a good blocker on the outside.
WR Calvin Johnson, Lions: When he's healthy, teams have been using cover-2 against the Lions, forcing Johnson to run intermediate routes — a new role for him, and he's thriving in it. With most of his catches being less than 20 yards, Johnson has been killing teams in the soft part of the defense and he is nearly unstoppable in the red zone going after jump balls.
TE Antonio Gates*, Chargers: Playing hurt with toe, ankle and foot injuries, Gates doesn't appear to have lost a step. Not only is he playing through pain, but with all the injuries to Chargers receivers, defenses know Gates will get the ball. All he has done is record the highest yards-per-catch average of his career while being a touchdown machine.
C Maurkice Pouncey, Steelers: Although he's only a rookie, Pouncey has played like a veteran. He is smart and athletic with ideal size for the position. He has stood up to every challenge he has faced from some tough nose tackles in his division, impressing those around the league with how well he has played.
OG Chris Snee*, Giants: With C Shaun O'Hara missing time, Snee has picked up the slack. The Giants are one of the top rushing teams in the league, and RB Ahmad Bradshaw finds more success running to the right, behind Snee. A battler with a nasty on-field disposition, Snee has committed only three penalties in '10.
OG Kris Dielman, Chargers: The three-time Pro Bowler continues to show his consistency, despite a Chargers rushing attack that has not been great. He is a tough mauler who wins individual battles and clears space. Dielman had to play without OLT Marcus McNeill next to him for the first five games, but the steady performer met the challenge.
OT D'Brickashaw Ferguson*, Jets: Along with C Nick Mangold, Ferguson gets credit for mentoring first-year starting OLG Matt Slauson as the Jets' O-line has paved the way for RBs LaDainian Tomlinson and Shonn Greene to be extremely productive. Ferguson had his way with Vikings DE Jared Allen and often leads Tomlinson to touchdowns.
OT Michael Roos, Titans: A very good all-around tackle, Roos is smart and has been a star for several years. He has started every game in his career, now entering its sixth season. Roos leads an offensive line that paves the way for one of the top running backs in the league, and the Titans have found more success through the air, as well, this season.
DE Trent Cole, Eagles: With a consistent motor on every play, Cole has been solid without much help around him on the D-line. Cole, who never takes a play off, is a great finisher, with three fourth-quarter sacks this season. Taking on tackles at least 50 pounds heavier, Cole is on pace to register a career high in sacks.
DE Osi Umenyiora, Giants: The Giants' defensive line has been dominant in '10, but Umenyiora is the biggest producer. Battling a knee injury, Umenyiora has modified his practice schedule so he can stay fresh, and it has shown. He looks like he did in his Pro Bowl seasons of 2005 and '07 — a nightmare for opposing QBs.
DT Haloti Ngata*, Ravens: Ngata could be having the best season of his career and has been much more of a pass-rushing threat. With rare athleticism and great strength, Ngata already has reached his career high in sacks. He anchors the defensive line and has shown versatility by making an impact from end and nose tackle this season.
DT Ndamukong Suh, Lions: The second rookie on this list, the No. 2 overall pick has been a monster. Suh leads all rookies and defensive tackles in sacks with his arsenal of moves. Suh is extremely strong and plays with a lot of enthusiasm. Head coach Jim Schwartz has not hidden his praise for Suh.
OLB James Harrison, Steelers: While he has gotten more attention for his violent hits that have angered the league, Harrison is having another outstanding season. He is very physical and a top-notch pass rusher. Harrison is great at getting under and around taller tackles en route to hitting opposing quarterbacks.
OLB Clay Matthews, Packers: Matthews has been incredibly productive and is one of the league's sack leaders — and that's despite missing one game because of injury. He has spent more time on the left side but moves all over the place and is being used creatively. The Packers' pass rush was visibly diminished with Matthews out. He is a great finisher who brings a constant motor to the field every day.
ILB Ray Lewis, Ravens: In his 15th season, Lewis is still a menace in the middle of the Ravens' defense. He has stepped up big in crucial games, with an INT in a win over the Steelers and a critical forced fumble in Week Seven to prevent an upset loss to the Bills.
ILB Lawrence Timmons, Steelers: Timmons, in his fourth season, has been much better against the run this year. He has good speed and is becoming an exceptional all-around linebacker. Part of a Steelers front seven that stops the run better than anyone, Timmons is also dangerous when he blitzes.
CB Nnamdi Asomugha, Raiders: A possible high ankle sprain could limit Asomugha the rest of the way, but at the midway point he continues to show he is a shutdown corner. Quarterbacks don't challenge him, instead targeting CB Stanford Routt. He is a consistent performer, a steady presence and a smart guy who is happy to be on a competitive Raiders team that boasts one of the league's top pass defenses.
CB Antonio Cromartie, Jets: After being beaten in Week One against the Ravens, Cromartie has locked down on top receivers, starting with Randy Moss in Week Two. A great on-the-ball player, Cromartie has outperformed Darrelle Revis, running step-for-step with No. 1 receivers down the sideline.
S Troy Polamalu, Steelers: Polamalu is as disruptive as ever after playing in just five games last season. He had interceptions in the first two games this season and thrives when he is deployed near the line of scrimmage or in coverage. One of the better ball hawks and hitters in the league, Polamalu is having another impact year on the vaunted Steelers "D."
S LaRon Landry, Redskins: The centerpiece of the Redskins' defense, Landry has been playing closer to the line this season and is making a huge impact. A hard hitter, Landry plays the run well and can match up with wideouts and tight ends underneath. Without having to read the QB in their scheme, Landry can fly around the defense to make tackles.
PK Josh Scobee, Jaguars: Scobee always has had a big leg but seems to be kicking with more confidence this season. He has one of the longest averages on field goals made in the league. His 59-yard game-winning field goal over the Colts is one of the plays of the year.
P Shane Lechler*, Raiders: Lechler has been far and away the best punter in the league. The 2009 PFW Golden Toe winner has been a consistent bailout guy for the Raiders' offense, averaging nearly 43 net yards per punt.
PR Devin Hester*, Bears: Remember when some wanted Hester off punt returns to focus on receiving? He has shown this season how valuable he is as a specialist with two punt-return TDs. As a result, teams have been kicking away from him like they used to do. Hester's still got it and he's affecting games the way he used to, almost bringing the Bears back on his own against the Seahawks.
KR Leon Washington*, Seahawks: Not many returners can single-handedly win games for their teams like Washington did against the Chargers, with two returns for TDs in a 27-20 victory. Keep in mind, he has done all this after suffering a severe broken leg a year ago.
Bill Belichick, Patriots: Defense wins championships? Well, Belichick's defense is statistically one of the worst in the league, yet the Patriots remain one of the best teams in the league. Starting as many as six rookies, Belichick is proving the Patriots don't rebuild, they reload. Trading Laurence Maroney and Randy Moss just allowed other guys to step up, and Belichick is finding ways to win with an extremely young defense.

FORT WORTH –– The high-end bridal boutique Ocone's on Camp Bowie is going out of business. Everything goes.
"They are remarking the dresses for sale prices right now," said John Ocone, walking past hundreds of fine dresses.
Ocone's was never a bridal bargain store. John and Barbara Ocone, now well into their 70s, built their business on Camp Bowie Boulevard with designer gowns and personal attention that required brutal hours.
"I usually finish the books at night somewhere around midnight," said John Ocone.
He says he and Barbara get up for church four days a week before opening the store. They've been dressing brides for 33 years. Some are from Fort Worth's wealthiest families.
But, really, it was about 50 years ago when Barbara Ocone starting making wedding veils so striking that Neiman Marcus gave her a contract.
"Guess who her first model was," John laughs. "Yes, it was me."
This from a man who flew fighter jets and bombers in the Air Force before going into retail.
"I love my customers," says Barbara. "Both of us love people. They mean more to us than just a buck and business." She figures they've helped about 11,000 brides.
But life has a way of lifting veils, and fitting new priorities on aging souls. A death in the family revealed a longing to refocus on family and church volunteer work.
They'll spend three days marking everything down before reopening Thursday. When the gowns are gone, it's over.
"It's a very, very sad day," said Essie Echols, one of the store's few employees.
She came to help in the shop for three days –– 25 years ago. The Ocones became her family. And for brides pondering their new families, the Ocones provided more than satin and lace.
They said they always tried to offer an example of what marriage can be.
"You got to forgive each other. You got to remember why you got married to begin with," says John Ocone.

Traffic should begin flowing along Seven Bridges Road by mid-February, according to Little Silver Mayor Robert Neff, Jr.
The source of traffic snarls throughout the area, the mayor said that, according to the county engineers overseeing the project, work remains on schedule.
County Engineer Joseph Ettore and Assistant County Engineer Dennis Walsh Neff said told him that the road will reopen to traffic during the first or second week of February 2013.
"Neither engineer reports any significant surprises, and I can advise that the county has been very responsive in addressing the few questions we've received from residents," the mayor said.
A pedestrian walkway was installed in September and the old bridge has been demolished.
"Cofferdams have been constructed to provide dry areas for construction of the bridge abutments. Construction of the foundation for the new bridge is underway," Neff explained. "This involves the driving of steel piles, which are being installed (using the large crane currently on site) to support the concrete abutments. Weather permitting, these abutments are expected to be constructed by the end of November."
Walsh said in an e-mail, "Once the foundation is complete (and again, weather permitting) the installation of the precast beam superstructure, new bridge deck and roadway can begin." He added, "This portion of the project will be performed through December and January."
The county anticipates minor construction to remain once the roadway is repoened, said Neff.

Morning Bowl Rumors: Is Northwestern Going to Houson?
I'm hearing there's a good chance Meineke CC bowl (Houston) will take #Northwestern over Penn State. (Need Mich to finish top-14 BCS.)— Teddy Greenstein (@TeddyGreenstein) December 3, 2011
So there isn't anything solid to report about Northwestern's bowl status yet, but last night Teddy Greenstein introduced a new element of uncertainty when he set Twitter aflutter by saying that Northwestern might jump Penn State and be selected by the Meineke Car Care Bowl in Houston. Your humble blogger will continue to pass on information and rumor as the day continues.

Local insurance agents are among the many trying to understand another change to President Obama's new healthcare law. The President announced this week he will allow Americans to keep their old insurance plans that were automatically canceled by the new healthcare law.
"You go to your insurance agent to find out about insurance. If your car breaks down, you go to your mechanic," says Allstate insurance agent Loretta Bailey.
The "good hands" at Allstate are trying to reach for answers, though.
"It's an embarrassment, I think, to the insurance industry," says Bailey.
Insurance agents with other companies say the same. They don't have answers to questions like those of Joplin resident Jim Wilkilson.
"How does he, willy-nilly, pick part of the law he likes, and cancel out the part he doesn't like? I mean, how does that work? I thought the law was the law," says Wilkilson.
Insurance companies say President Obama's new healthcare law was too strict on some insurance policies, so they were no longer offered.
The President now says people can keep their original healthcare plans, if they were canceled because of the new healthcare law.
But insurance agent Bailey asks,"We get to keep it, but at what price do we get to keep it?"
There's no answer yet from the government or insurance agents like Bailey.
"I called my people, my underwriters, and I had a lady who said Loretta, I've been doing this for 25 years. This is the first time I don't have an answer,' says Bailey.
What's the process of getting an old insurance plan back? Will the insurance company contact people, or will that be up to the insured?
"I can't go get the answers. I mean, I've tried," says Bailey.
Insurance agents say basic questions are being left unanswered by the federal government. For the time being, a new healthcare system that's been plagued with problems so far has yet to settle down.
"I think he's (President Obama) just trying to gain the respect of the American people back," says Webb City resident Lori Venable.
But some Americans, including Venable, are already saying President Obama's latest attempted compromise has turned against him.
Too little, too late.
Americans will be allowed to keep their old healthcare plans for one year. Insurance agents say it might be some time before this latest change to the healthcare law is fully understood and implemented. Watch the associated video for details.

People around Central Virginia say Jerry Sandusky's verdict is too light, despite the Judge saying he will spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Sandusky spent the hours before his sentencing proclaiming his innocence. His attorneys are vowing to appeal. However, people around Central Virginia said they were glad to see this disgusting episode come to a close and they are generally happy with the former Penn State coach spending his life in prison.
While many were pleased to see justice done, others felt the 30 to 60 year sentence didn't go far enough.
"This doesn't take away all the pain he's inflicted on so many," Jan Debaugh responded to a post on NBC12's Facebook page.
"He should have got the death penalty for all those charges. He is sick and we should not have to pay for him to live in prison for 30 to 60 years," commented Tonya James. "But you know he will get what he deserves in there. People don't like child abusers."
Others questioned Sandusky's pension money and worried that his victims wouldn't be taken care of.
"Give that money to the kids. They will need it to pay for shrinks," wrote TJ Charity.
Many voiced their support for the victims, in hopes that the sentence allows them to continue to heal.

The retirement of Florida coach Urban Meyer, which was announced minutes ago, is taking everyone by surprise. Our Tennessee blog, Rocky Top Talk, offers an immediate reaction to the news:
First, best wishes for Meyer. Hope the health thing isn't as serious as it sounds. As much as we've loved to get on the good old sports hate for Meyer and the Gators, I'm sure I'm not the only one at RTT who hopes he makes a full and complete recovery. They're saying now that there's no immediate health concern, but what are we to make of his decision being based in part on his health? We'll just have to wait and see on that.
Second, this will sound crass, but is it inevitable that folks will minimize Meyer's legacy at Florida because it coincides so nicely with Tebow's time there?
Third, the SEC East is wide open now. The Gators will still be talented. They'll also likely get a fantastic coach to replace Meyer. But change takes time. Look at Monte Kiffin's defense this year compared to John Chavis's last year. No matter how good you can be, change takes time.
Fourth, wow.
Also, make sure you check back with our Florida blog, Alligator Army, for much, much more.

Airline Glossary - Sharklets
What's a sharklet, we asked you yesterday on our Facebook page. Here's the answer:
A sharklet is a type of winglet – an extension of an aircraft's wing that is designed to enhance the airflow around the wingtip area, especially during the cruise phase of flight. Winglets have been around for some time. But the sharklet is a new type of blended winglet that has been developed by Airbus. SWISS took delivery of its first "sharkletted" Airbus – an A321 – in March. The new sharklets are expected to save up to 150 tonnes of fuel per aircraft per year. And all our future Airbus A320-family deliveries will also feature the new sharklet technology.

It was a A320 and not A321.ReplyDelete
I did the incoming check.
Does LX plan on having any of their older Airbus A319/A320/A321 a/c retrofitted with sharklets?ReplyDeleteReplies
Dear LAX77W, sorry for the late reply and thank you for your interest. We have investigated the current status and please find below the answer from our SWISS engineering team:Delete
"SWISS Engineering is actually evaluating the sharklet retrofit for some of its older Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft. The Airbus A319 is not being considered for retrofit, as this aircraft subtype may leave the fleet in a foreseeable future and a retrofit solution for the A321 is presently not under consideration by Airbus. Development of the A320 sharklet retrofit solution has just been launched by Airbus and only 7 aircraft of the present SWISS fleet will finally qualify for a retrofit. The economic viability of such a heavy structural aircraft modification needs to be eventually demonstrated, bearing in mind that the sharklets only yield optimal efficiency and fuel savings on flight segments of several hours. SWISS is operating its A320/A321 aircraft exclusively on the European Network with average flight durations a little longer than 1 hour, which tends to reduce the benefits of a sharklet retrofit. Last but not least such a decision will be consolidated with the other A320 operators of the Lufthansa Group."
Best regards, Janina

Women's Golf Heads Across Town for UNF Intercollegiate
Sabrina Rumbaugh (Photo Courtesy of Skip Tapp)
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
– The Jacksonville University women's golf team returns to action for its second event of the spring on Monday at the UNF Intercollegiate, beginning a busy stretch that will have them competing in three tournaments in less than two weeks. The Dolphins will play 54 holes at the Jacksonville Golf & Country Club, a par-72 course located off Hodges Boulevard, with an 8 a.m. shotgun start and 36 holes on Monday, and another 8 a.m. start and 18 holes on Tuesday.
When the Dolphin team of
Jessica Welch
Natalie Schmett
Sabrina Rumbaugh
Morgan Matchett
Megan Collins
tee off on Monday morning, they'll be trying to match an effort from three weeks ago in which Jacksonville obliterated the previous record for lowest 18-hole round with a team score of 285 in the second round at the Amelia Island Collegiate. Due in large part to that score, the Dolphins also set a new 36-hole mark of 589. For the freshman Collins, it will be her first collegiate tournament.
Carlie Gehlhausen
will also compete as an individual for JU.
"I look forward to competing in our second event of the spring season at the UNF Intercollegiate," said Head Coach
Jen Borocz
. "We had a great first event and I am anxious to see what we can do this week. It's nice to play another event in Jacksonville as we've played the golf course a couple of times."
Next up for the Dolphins following the UNF Intercollegiate is the team's longest trip of the spring, heading out to North Carolina to compete in the Pinehurst Invitational at the famed Pinehurst Resort on March 16-17.

If you try to get back at an ex by posting "revenge porn" online, it could soon become a crime in Arizona.
Under a bill by a bipartisan group of state representatives, it would be a felony to distribute photos and videos of naked people or those engaged in sex acts without their written consent.
The law would exclude images taken in public or a commercial setting.
Last fall, California made "revenge porn" illegal. New Jersey did the same in 2004.

KENNEWICK, Wash.-- People in Kennewick shared their reaction to the two deadly Benton County shootings in one day, one in Kennewick and the other in Finley.
People in Kennewick showed concern for Friday's two deadly shootings in the Tri-Cities community.
But some people said they think these types of things just happen and there isn't a way around it.
The Kennewick murder Friday morning led to the arrest of Grant Scantling who is now in custody in the Benton County Jail. He's facing charges of 1st degree murder.
No one is charged yet in the Finley homicide that happened Friday afternoon.
People told me they think of this area as safe so the shootings startled them.
Others shared the opinion that people unfortunately kill people and if they have the means it's hard to avoid these crimes.
"Being safe, being a great community to live in, the Tri-Cities, it does have me concerned about what the future holds for the Tri-Cities and everyone that lives here," said Bryndon Pavel.
"If we have the 2nd Amendment and if we go with the customary interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, people will have guns and these sort of things will happen," said Harold Kirkham.
"It's sad that we do that, that we do kill each other, but there's nothing you can do about it. It happens," said James Stevens.
Police encourage people to have a safety plan in case they're ever near a shooting or encounter one.
Officers advise finding a way to escape the location if you can and calling 911 as soon as possible.

At some schools across the nation, recess is becoming a
thing of the past. Barreling down a slide or reaching high into the sky on a
swing is giving way to serious physical education classes.
Gym teachers are giving kids a good workout because of the
high rate of childhood obesity in the U.S. Of kids between the ages of 2 and
19, it's estimated that 17 percent are obese.
So the emphasis is changing to individual activities that
will get students active and hopefully inspire them to continue their fitness
regime on their own: yoga, spinning class, and rock climbing are some examples.
P.E. teachers have a lot of work ahead of them. Only 25
percent of American students met the national fitness recommendations.

An Albany native returned home to perform for music lovers at the Museum of Art.
Robert Sharpe and his wife, Diana played for the Symphony at the Museum event.
Not only was Robert returning to his hometown of Albany to play, but it was also the couple's first concert together. He specializes in classical guitar, while she plays classical percussion, something Sharpe says is rare.
"It's special to me because I haven't played any solo music in Albany for about six years. And it's also special, because my wife has never played in Albany. It's just always good to be back home and play for people that really want to come out and hear me," said Robert Sharpe.
This was the third concert of a new chamber series at the Albany Museum of Art. The last concert of the series will be held on April 7th.

August 1, 2014
(ANNAPOLIS, MD)—With news accounts of "flesh-eating" bacteria infections suffered by bathers in Maryland and the District of Columbia in recent days, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) is reissuing its 2009 report that documented the rise in such infections. The report demonstrated how some of our waters have become unhealthy not only for fish, but also for people who fish, swim, boat, and drink contaminated water.
July 29, 2014
(HARRISBURG, PA)—Harry Campbell, Pennsylvania Director for CBF, testified before the PA House Democratic Policy Committee about the potential cumulative damage to Pennsylvania's rivers and streams, specifically those in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, as a result of drilling for natural gas.

(The Roanoke Times)— The president of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation can point to strong indicators that the bay is healthier. "Oysters are up and dead zones are down," said Will Baker, the foundation's president, during a stop Monday at a Weyers Cave farm that is part of a new state program for resource management...Weyers Cave dairy farmer Gerald Garber is among the first farmers in Virginia to meet the goals of the new resource management program. The ultimate hope of the new program is that use of best management practices by farmers will lead to an even healthier bay, and more productive and healthier farms that lie within the bay watershed.

(The News Virginian)—A quarter century ago, Weyers Cave farmer Gerald Garber began using best farming practices such as installing buffers to prevent agricultural runoff and fencing to keep his dairy cattle out of streams and rivers near his farm...Garber is one of the first farmers in Virginia who will be certified as having a farm resource management plan. The new RMP program, run by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, credits farmers who voluntarily install soil and water conservation practices to prevent runoff pollution. The ultimate goal is to provide cleaner water and reduce the nutrient pollution flowing to the Chesapeake Bay. Read More

Too bad that 7,180 voters can overrule the majority.
And how about the 57 percent who didn't vote? Really, in a mail-in election, it's not that hard.
on May 4, 2011 at 9:07 am
In Pleasanton over 50% of registered voters participated in the Measure E vote. Let's keep increasing civic participation in the dialogue, voter education, and voting. We become a stronger and more engaged community as a result. Let's move on to broadening the solutions that PUSD and the unions will consider to improve PUSD Fiscal Excellence.
on May 4, 2011 at 9:10 am
If you want quality schools, move to Cupertino or Lafayette. Pleasanton is OK with average schools. They passed their parcel taxes easily. That is the bottom line. It is a free country. People are free to move.

Teleconferencing Across the Border
Wednesday, 02 February 2011 06:54
University Medical Center's Medical Television and Teleconferencing in Tucson has put together a mobile teleconferencing unit. Next month, it's off to Nogales, Ariz. for a four-way conference involving sites across Southern Arizona, and across the border.
The all day conference, presented for teachers and parents, will focus on how to better manage behavior in children with autism.
Involved in the connection will be three Arizona cities: Douglas, Somerton and Nogales. They will connect across the border to Nogales, Sonora.
"It is easier to do a videoconference where you have point to point, one site to one site," said Larry McAlister, a media specialist with Medical Television and Teleconferencing at UMC. "When you start adding multiple sites, it gets a little tricky."
Medical Television ventured out to the site in Nogales, Ariz. last week to test the connection before the March conference. While the connection was made relatively successfully, there was one concern.
"The bandwidth, or speed of the internet, is very important in teleconferencing," McAlister said. "In Mexico, the bandwidth was a lot slower."
According to McAlister, a preferred bandwidth for teleconferencing is at least 768 kbps or kilobits per second. He said the site in Nogales, Sonora, had a speed of 192 kbps.
"If you have multiple sites, whoever has the slowest speed brings the rest of the participants down," McAlister said. "So if you have slow bandwidth on one site, all of the sites will experience poor quality video and audio."
A lower broadband speed can cause choppy movements, breaks in audio, and an overall lack of consistency in the quality of the connection.
"Cochise College [in Douglas, Ariz.] is at something like 790 kbps and to ask them to lower down to 192 kbps, could ruin the conference," said Dr. Burris Duncan, a University of Arizona professor of Public Health and Pediatrics who helped organize the event. "I can't jeopardize that."
So the question is, can the site in Mexico raise their bandwidth before the March conference?
"They are working on increasing it, but we don't know for sure if they will be able to," Duncan said. "I'm told that for someone who knows how to do it, it's not too difficult, but I have no idea."
There are a few alternative options if Mexico cannot increase the speed before then. Among the ideas are to have them participate by phone or perhaps join in by Skype. While neither option is ideal, Duncan and the teleconference team are still brainstorming.
"Skype isn't the same," Duncan said. "If the speaker wanders, you can't stay on him or you can't switch back between a speaker and presentation."
McAlister and Duncan are keeping in contact with the site in Sonora, awaiting updates on any changes in their broadband speed. The conference is set for Friday, March 4.
"It makes it [teleconferencing] even more tricky to go into a foreign country because there are a lot of variables," McAlister said.

WMDT 47 NEWS - Every year, bargain hunters brace for Black Friday, click away for Cyber Monday, support local stores on Small Business Saturday, but now there's Green Monday?
WMDT scanned the Centre At Salisbury Mall to find just one person that has heard of this holiday. Out of six people, we had no luck.
eBay coined the term to describe its best sales day in December, which is usually the second Monday of the month. Experts say it's the first day of the busiest week of the year for retail, both online and in stores.
"Doesn't seem like it, this place is empty," said a shopper referring to the mall.
There's two reasons: many people haven't started shopping yet, and it's the last time to take advantage of free or super cheap shipping before time runs out. For example, Amazon and Walmart are offering free shipping Monday only.
"To be able to buy through the internet, its cheaper, saves time, I'm all for it," said shopper, Rich Johnson.
It gets better. Walmart has a 55 inch LED TV for almost half off at just $699. On Ebay, you can get a 64-gigabite iPad 2 for $300 cheaper at just $399. Macy's is also offering free shipping on items more than $99 and 15 to 20 percent off certain items.
Again, the sales are only being offered Monday December 10th.

All the latest Apple news, featuring developments on the iPhone, iPad, Macbooks, OS X and much more.
Here's where you find the best of the best, our top digital cameras across the board.
It's not a general-purpose recommendable camera thanks to subpar video and slightly sluggish performance, but for photo-quality-first photographers who want the analog-ish shooting experience, the Fujifilm X-E1 rules in its price range.
The Fujifilm X-T1 is a great camera for advanced photographers as long as its quirks don't bother you.
It delivers great images and is still fun to shoot with, but the Fujifilm X-E2 isn't a no-brainer upgrade over the X-E1 and other cameras outfeature it.
The only weather-resistant 50x megazoom camera around, the Fujifilm FinePix S1 is a fast, flexible camera that comes up a little short in low-light photo quality.
The company's new flagship interchangeable-lens model is weather-resistant and ready for action shooting.
Merging old and new, Fujifilm's Instax Share SP-1 is a fun, portable wireless instant photo printer worth picking up if you don't mind the costs.
While it may not be the best overall camera available for less than $1,000, the Fujifilm X-M1 does deliver the best photo quality in its price class.
For its entry-level ILC, Fujifilm swaps out the X-Trans sensor and gives the camera a less snazzy finish.
Equipped with the latest X-Trans sensor, the XQ1 is priced for folks who want better-than-snapshot photo quality but won't miss a viewfinder.
The Fujifilm XF1 is one of the nicest-looking point-and-shoots available and it performs well, too. But its photos and features might not please some enthusiasts.

PHOTO CALL: Lucie Arnaz, Karen Ziemba, Christiane Noll, Lillias White and More Celebrate Marvin Hamlisch in CA Concert
By Kenneth Jones
Friends and colleagues of late composer Marvin Hamlisch performed his pop, film and stage hits in a Jan. 21 concert at the McCallum Theater in Palm Desert, CA. David Zippel, Hamlisch's collaborator on the musical The Goodbye Girl, directed a cast that included Lucie Arnaz, Karen Ziemba, Lillias White and more.
The concert was called They're Playing His Songs: The Music of Marvin Hamlisch.
The songlist included "Sunshine Lollipops and Rainbows" (his first hit), "The Way We Were" and songs from "The Champ," "Ice Castles," "The Spy Who Loved Me," "Frankie and Johnny" and the stage musicals A Chorus Line, They're Playing Our Song, Smile and The Goodbye Girl.
"Marvin was originally booked to play the McCallum that night," Tony Award-winning lyricist Zippel told Playbill.com. "Mitch Gershenfeld, president and CEO of the McCallum, asked me if I would put together a concert to honor Marvin on that night. Marvin had performed at the McCallum and many times and it seemed right to celebrate our friend on the night he was to have appeared."
The cast included Tony winner Lillias White, Tony winner Karen Ziemba, Tony nominee Christiane Noll and Jason Graae. Lucie Arnaz (who starred in Hamlisch's They're Playing Out Song) was a special guest star.
Christopher Marlowe was the musical director. Video clips bridged the musical numbers.

First,i want to show you with a picture how the HMQV works.
There are some notations you might not familiar, it doesn't matter. I just want to show you the procedure.
Next it's an attack on HMQV
Suppose G is the subgroup of Fp* with the order q, q is a prime. And t is an factor of (p-1)/q . G' is another subgroup of Fp* with the order t.
the attack proceeds as follows
adversary M chooses an elemen γ from G' with the order t.
then, M chooses a,x uniformly at random in [1,t-1], calculate A=γa , X=γx ; M impersonates party A to send (hat(A),hat(B), X) to party B.(hat(A) means the identity of party A, so does hat(B))
when party B receives the message, he will compute the shared session key like this K=H((XAd)sB) where sB=y+eb (as in the HMQV)
then, M reveals party B's ephemeral private key y and session key K; Let β=XAd=γx+da, so K=H(βsB)
compute K'=H(βc),where c from 0...t-1, until K=K', so we get sB mod t
My confusion lies in step 5. In party B's view, X ,A and d are just numbers and he doesn't know the order of β — he also won't care about that. He just calculates the result of XAd and then implements K=H(βsB) sB=y+eb (as in the HMQV).
About the form, β=XAd=γx+da, but remember that party B doesn't know the order of γ so, he won't implement the reduction (x+da mod t). Even, he knows the t, he also won't implement the reduction because he does not have x,a. As to sB, party B just treats it as a number, he just calculates the value of βsB. And then hash that value to get K.
So, I think βc≠βsB⇒H(βc)≠H(βsB)⇒K≠K'.
I debated with others on this, but they all think I'm wrong! But as you can see my thought is very reasonable. Where on Earth is their problem? (in other words: What am I missing that they see?)

Thanks guys!
Just wanted to thank you all for your concern for my health. The cardioversion went well and we will have to see how long it lasts. Other than a burned spot on my chest I feel really great. All in all, it was much like re-polarizing a generator!
Seriously, thank you all!
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Seriously though, I'm glad all went well. Now just rest up and I'll worry about chasin' the Cubs for a while.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Ash Radio
The Irish punk-pop trio Ash were tentatively formed in 1989, when childhood mates Tim Wheeler and Mark Hamilton received guitars for Christmas and established a metal act named Vietnam. Following a handful of shows, Vietnam adopted the Ash moniker in 1992 and added Rick "Rock" McMurray on drums. The musicians shared a love for the raw British punk of the Buzzcocks and crafted their musical talents to take the Brit-pop scene by storm at the start of the decade. NME was soon swooning over these "teen punkers from Belfast," and by 1994 Ash had signed with Infectious Records and issued the Trailer EP. Ash's glossy youth was undoubtedly alluring, yet the band's Irish roots exuded a bit of American flair similar to the likes of Pavement and the Lemonheads. Wheeler, Hamilton, and McMurray weren't even out of high school before three of their singles hit the Top Five in the U.K. indie charts. A year later, Ash made their full-length debut with 1977 and set their sights on America, having inked a deal with Reprise Records. Named in honor of the year Star Wars was released, 1977 displayed Wheeler and Hamilton's full-fledged love for all things extraterrestrial and science fiction-related; the record also flaunted sharp guitar hooks and exact production work by Owen Morris (Oasis, New Order, Paul Weller). Ash took to headlining major festivals -- T in the Park, Glastonbury, Roskilde, and Reading -- and playing club dates across the globe. In fall 1997, female guitarist Charlotte Hatherley was added to the previously all-male lineup, marking a change in the band's sound and image. With a new bandmate aboard, Ash underwent a maturation during the late '90s, as their sound featured heavier guitars and a gritty lyrical shift. The band's sophomore effort, Nu-Clear Sounds (1998), featured the work of Garbage's Butch Vig (Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana) at the mixing board, but it also resulted in mixed reviews. NME turned on the band, criticizing Ash's new sound as "terrifying, ghoulrawk thrashnik deathcore noiseterrior sultans of satanic verse" in August 1998. Harsh words and reviews notwithstanding, Ash forged ahead with Free All Angels (released in April 2001, although it didn't even see a U.S. release until the following summer) and 2005's Meltdown, which marked the band's first stateside release for the Record Collection label. Charlotte Hatherley announced her departure from the band one year later, having logged nearly a decade with the group. Ash forged ahead as a trio and released Twilight of the Innocents in 2007, claiming that the album would be their last. Interestingly enough, they also assured their fans that they were not breaking up; instead, the group would only release singles in response to consumer trends. Starting in 2009, the band began the A-Z Series, releasing a new single every two weeks until all 26 singles were released. The following year they released A-Z: Vol. 1, which collected singles A through M.~ MacKenzie WilsonPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

Elizabeth Rose "Betty" (Zaversnik) (Vosahlo) Jacobs was born on Sept. 12, 1924, in Rock Springs, Wy., to Joseph and Mari Zaversnik. She passed away on Sept. 23, 2013, in Newport at the age of 89.
Betty and her family moved from Rock Springs to the Elk-Camden area when she was in her early teens. She met and married Joe Vosahlo at a young age and they had four children, Don Vosahlo (Connie), Phyllis Sage (Gary), Arlene Casselman (Derris) and Jack Vosahlo.
Beside being a wife and mother, she was an avid painter and gardener. She loved the outdoors, doing jigsaw puzzles and reading.
Daniel Ira Johnson (Danny) was born on Nov. 7, 1951, to Ira William and Noreen Louise Johnson, their third of five children. Danny grew up on a dairy farm in Williams Valley west of Deer Park.
His Christian parents raised him to become the Godly man that we all loved so much. Since the family never owned a TV, after a long day of chores, they played games, and read the Bible together. As an adult, without fail, year in and year out, every morning with his bowl of Wheaties cereal, you would find Dan reading his well-worn Bible, seeking and soaking up the Word of God.
The Riverside Rams, riding a three-game winning streak, will face its toughest opponent so far when they travel to Freeman for a 7 p.m. game on Friday.
The Scotties (1-0 in Northeast A League play and 4-0 overall) are the consensus pick to the win the league title. So far, the Scotties have outscored their opponents, including to Class 2A schools 143-12.
Freeman is coming off a 42-0 win over Newport last week. It was the Scotties second straight shutout.
The Freeman attack is led by quarterback Preston Hoppman and the running back tandem of Max Laib and Markus Goldbach.
The Deer Park Stags will have to find a way to slow down the home-standing Pullman Greyhounds in their Great Northern League opener on Friday.
The Greyhounds, which opened their GNL season last week with a come-from-behind 29-26 win over Cheney, are averaging more than 31 points per game.
The only blemish on their 3-1 season is a 40-14 loss to Freeman in week two.
Pullman is led by quarterback Mason Petrino and wide receiver David Ungerer.
The Stags (1-3) are hoping to avoid a four-game losing streak, which would be the longest since the 2006 season.
A benefit will be held at 5 p.m. on Oct. 12 at The Mulz Shed, N37011 Newport Highway, Chattaroy, for lifetime area resident Daniel R. Goehring, 50, who passed away on Sept. 26 in Elk.
Mr. Goehring was born on Dec. 2, 1962, in Spokane.
He is survived by his wife, Shelley Persyn; three children, Daniel Goehring, Jordan Persyn and Jennifer (Marc) Hathaway; one brother, Allen Goehring; and two grandchildren, Gavin and Gage Hathaway.
The family requests memorials be made to Shelley Persyn and Daniel Goehring.
Spokane County Sheriff's deputies are investigating a burglary in the Elk area on Oct. 1 where more than $11,000 worth of property was stolen.
Deputy Michael Beckman responded to a residential burglary call near the 35000 block of Newport Hwy. The deputy spoke with the homeowner who told him he had recently inherited the house.

I applaude the German American School for standing up to Mr. Ghysels and the School Board. Looks like another group of people who are being "bullied" so that they can have what they want! I was active in the schools when my children attended and I recall Ken Ranella being very cautious about taking over O'Connor as they provide a tremendous amount of income to the district and are great tenants.
I'm sure this will all lead to yet another bond, parcel tax or whatever means necessary to fleece the property owners in Menlo Park for more money to recoup this loss of revenue. The town may have been supportive of the schools in the past, but Ghysels has put a black mark over our amazing schools. I'm not so sure that the next time they ask for money that it will be as easy as it has been in the past! As he stated, change is sometimes hard. Well it might be hard to deal with the change that will come with the schools not being supported by the community because of him!

I also support the German school's efforts whole-heartedly. 15 months to find a new site for a school is simply too short! And the alternative (closing the school) would serve no one. Let's remember that we are talking about children here, who are being evicted! They should be allowed enough time to find an alternative site - moving to new school grounds and losing their "home" at the O'Connor site will be disruptive enough for the kids.

Let's hope that the "lease modification" means another year for the German American School! As one of the parents I can tell you it is extremely stressful for the kids, parents and teachers to go through this uncertain period. GAIS has been a reliable tenant for 22 years - don't they deserve a respectful end to their tenancy? After all, it's not as if they are debating to stay, they just want a little bit more time.
