Nigerian Roman Catholic Bishops Call for Better Government Response to Radicals
The leader of Nigeria's bishops is criticizing the government's response to the growing threat from radical Islamist groups, saying Christians are increasingly at risk of attack.
Archbishops Ignatius Kaigama, president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Nigeria, along with Archbishop John Onaiyekan of Abuja spoke with Aid to the Church in Need about the plight of Christians in the country, and how the government is handling the situation.
The statement came after at least 21 people were killed and more than 20 others were injured last Sunday in coordinated attacks targeting worship services at a university campus in Kano, and a chapel in Maiduguri belonging to the Church of Christ in Nigeria.

The girls playing by the the stage before the party started.
We looked forward to yesterday for months now. We were invited to Olin's 7th birthday and the theme was Rockstar. We made sure we'd be there even if the party venue is located in Cavite. We're not really familiar with the area (we got lost getting there actually!) but for the love of the birthday girl and her mommy, we went. The girls had a blast too! It was a fun and great party! And because it was a Rockstar party, aside from Wanlu and Leodini, we got entertained by a mini concert by the group Jive and the birthday girl herself, accompanied by J (on drums) and 2 daddies on guitar and bass. We went home tired but happy. It's always worth our time when spent with the Bebots and their families.

At a primary care clinic in
For recent immigrants — especially the estimated 12 million who are here illegally — seeking health care often involves daunting encounters with a fragmented, bewildering, and hostile system. The reason most immigrants come here is to work and earn money; on average, they are younger and healthier than native-born Americans, and they tend to avoid going to the doctor. Many work for employers who don't offer health insurance, and they can't afford insurance premiums or medical care. They face language and cultural barriers, and many illegal immigrants fear that visiting a hospital or clinic may draw the attention of immigration officials. Although anti-immigrant sentiment is fueled by the belief that immigrants can obtain federal benefits, 1996 welfare-reform legislation greatly restricted immigrants' access to programs such as Medicaid, shifting most health care responsibility to state and local governments. The law requires that immigrants wait 5 years after obtaining lawful permanent residency (a "green card") to apply for federal benefits. In response, some states and localities — for instance,
Whether or not they have health insurance, immigrants overall have much lower per capita health care expenditures than native-born Americans,1 and recent analyses indicate that they contribute more to the economy in taxes than they receive in public benefits. In a study from the RAND Corporation, researchers estimated that undocumented adult immigrants, who make up about 3.2% of the population, account for only about 1.5% of U.S. medical costs.2 Many immigrants do not seek medical treatment unless they are injured or acutely ill; at our clinic, patients with type 2 diabetes often have florid symptoms and even incipient renal damage by the time their disease is diagnosed.
One study found that annual per capita expenses for health care were 86% lower for uninsured immigrant children than for uninsured U.S.-born children — but emergency department expenditures were more than three times as high.1 Although U.S. hospitals must provide emergency care without first asking about income, insurance, or citizenship, early diagnosis and treatment in a primary care setting are both medically preferable and a better use of resources. "If people keep postponing medical care because they're so concerned about being sent back over the border," noted Elizabeth Benson Forer, executive director of the Venice Family Clinic, a venerable free clinic in
Immigrants live, work, and attend school in communities throughout the country; laws and bureaucratic barriers that reduce their use of key preventive health services, such as immunizations and screenings for infectious disease, make for bad public health policy, and denying immigrants primary care ultimately increases health care costs for everyone. For example, labor and delivery costs for undocumented immigrant women are covered under the federal and state emergency Medicaid program, but most states do not cover prenatal care, and there is no coverage for family planning. Some of my patients say they would like to use oral contraceptives or an intrauterine device or undergo a tubal ligation, but they can't afford it. And immigrants, like native-born Americans, are vulnerable to chronic diseases; as my colleague, nurse practitioner Lois Wessel, notes, "Even the 25-year-old day laborers are eventually going to become 45-year-olds, probably still undocumented, with hypertension and diabetes. . . . Life in
Recently, a bipartisan group of
Noncitizens make up about 20% of the 46 million uninsured people in the
A recent study found that although emergency Medicaid spending for immigrants in
The chief sources of outpatient care for uninsured immigrants are public clinics and community health centers. Such clinics are often sparse in suburban and rural areas that have recently faced an influx of immigrants. Even in cities with strong community-clinic networks and a long history of serving immigrants, access to care is uneven. For example, at the Venice Family Clinic, a bilingual nurse educator runs health and exercise classes in Spanish and English for patients with diabetes, pregnant women receive
In states seeking to expand insurance coverage, the question of including undocumented immigrants is a thorny one. About 1 million of California's 4.8 million uninsured residents are undocumented adults, and about 136,000 are undocumented children.4 As part of a proposal for comprehensive health care reform, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is seeking to provide health insurance coverage (through Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program, or SCHIP) to all children with family incomes at or below 300% of the federal poverty level, regardless of immigration status. Although there is considerable public support for insuring undocumented immigrant children, Republican state legislators "do not believe that state general fund revenues should be invested in people who are here illegally," said health secretary Belsh — "and that extends to children."
The federal Medicaid program has always been restricted to
In Georgia, which last year passed a law requiring immigrants to show proof of legal residency in many situations, "we've started seeing a lot of kids not going to the doctor," said Flavia Mercado, a pediatrician who runs the International Medical Center at Atlanta's Grady Memorial Hospital. "A lot of my clients are leaving and going to other states, and a couple are even going back to their country. Everyone is very fearful." She said that Atlanta organizations are scaling back health services for Hispanics and have stopped sponsoring Hispanic health fairs, fearing that they will be raided by police or immigration officials. Meanwhile, faced with rising health care costs and increasing numbers of uninsured persons, the state's Medicaid program has sharply reduced benefits: it recently stopped paying for prenatal care for high-risk women and for nonemergency hemodialysis. Although immigrants make up a minority of the uninsured, Mercado said media reports regularly blame illegal immigrants for the worsening problems of the state's health care system. Anger over high medical costs and reduced access to care no doubt contributes to anti-immigrant sentiment; the remedy, however, is not immigrant bashing, but health care reform.
"As an American citizen, I understand that you want to make sure the resources are there for the right people," Mercado said. "Yet how can you deny someone health access? If we don't treat and prevent illness . . . our whole community is going to suffer."

If you're a busy person, and you have a lot of obligations and occasions in your life, then you need to start using your cellular calendar to help you organize and maintain a busy schedule! The calendar feature on most phones is relatively simple to learn, and it's a fabulous tool once you understand it. From sorting birthdays and work meetings, to scheduling dental appointments six months out and your daughter's ballet recital for next week, your calendar can help.
First, from your main menu, you should find your calendar and open it. Explore the different layouts before choosing the one that feels the most intuitive to you. When you have your layout selected, take a few minutes to copy all of your most important birthdays into your calendar. Most phones are set to remind you of a birthday the morning of that birthday at nine in the morning. If you want to be reminded earlier of the event (so that you can find the right gift in time), go into your menu options and change this pre-set. After birthdays, enter regular event reminders such as anniversaries, physicals, dental appointments, and the date of your car registration.
You can also enter events to be recurring, so that you can be reminded every Monday at seven to get your son from soccer, or every Friday at six to meet the girls for a martini. Your calendar can organize all of these events, schedule separate reminder tones, and even send you an email reminder in advance if you would like. Things like your morning wake-up call, or your Saturday yoga alarm, are best kept on your alarm schedule, rather than your calendar, so that you can more easily change the alarms. However, you can also put them on your calendar so that you can see and visualize your full day.
There are several practical uses for your calendar that can help you keep track of your busy life. There is no reason to miss appointments and events when your calendar presents a simple solution. Use your calendar effectively and never miss those important occasions ever again.

Unfortunately, there's no projection for Daniel Hudson, who I have pegged as a league average starter (a #4) next year.
A quick look at the Bill James Projections for White Sox batters
We take a look back at our Gavin Floyd projection.
Using Gavin Floyd to better understand projection systems and come up with a (hopefully more accurate) projection of our own.
Silver knows it's been tougher to figure out the White Sox than a presidential election. PECOTA badly missed predicting the 2005 World Champs, forecasting a mere 80 wins. Next, BP shorted the Sox in '06 before nailing their performance in '07 - a year everthing went horribly wrong. Last season, the Sox again whipped PECOTA's projections and contributed significantly to the system's first historical increase in average error predicting team wins. On average, PECOTA now blows its forecasts by an averge of 8.5 wins, ending a steady trend toward increasing accuracy with a rude blemish.

Tale Of The Tape: Indianapolis Colts At San Diego Chargers
While Andrew Luck was getting a run for his money as the top rookie quarterback in the league last year from RGIII and Russell Wilson, Luck appears to have gotten even better in 2013.
More Impressive Stats? Denver Broncos Offense Vs. Playing Madden On "Easy"
The Broncos are on pace to break some crazy impressive records. But how do the 2013 Broncos measure up against when I play Madden on easy?
Tale Of The Tape: New York Jets At Atlanta Falcons
Geno Smith has exceeded expectations by the numbers that he has produced. The Jets rank 16th out of the 32 teams in the NFL in passing yards per game, and nobody thought Smith would be at that level during his rookie season.
The Giants Losing To Carolina Vs. Little Mac Losing To Glass Joe In "Punch-Out"
Perhaps the most lopsided battle in video game sports is that of Little Mac vs. Glass Joe – the first fight in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! If done correctly, skilled players can knock the beans out of Joe in 42 seconds, flat. Unskilled players can still take him out before three rounds are up. And unskilled players who think too much would wonder – why is a French guy named "Joe"?
In any case, we here at CBS wondered, what was a more lopsided matchup (and subsequent surprising defeat): Mac vs. Joe? Or the recent Super Bowl champion New York Giants vs. the mostly hapless Carolina Panthers? Let's go to the tape. Please note that the "winner" of each category is the more humiliating option:
One Broken Arm Later: Nate Burleson's Pizza Vs. DiGiorno (It's Not Delivery)
Detroit Lions' wide receiver Nate Burleson is great at receiving both deftly thrown footballs and emergency roadside medical treatment. Recently, he crashed his car into a Jersey barrier after dropping a slice of pizza around 2:30 in the morning. Apparently there was no hooch in his system, it's just that he was being a big ol' bag of dum-dum lollipops. The question that we at CBS can't help but ask: would he have been better off cooking himself a DiGiorno frozen pizza? Let's go to the tape.
Tale Of The Tape: New England Patriots At Atlanta Falcons
Matt Ryan is one of the best regular-season quarterbacks in the league. That's meant as a compliment, but when you don't win in the postseason, it impacts your reputation.

Program Schedule
Each SIT Study Abroad program follows a unique schedule; programs and semesters vary. This page offers a general idea of what a semester program itinerary might look like. Summer programs are similar in their approach but have different combinations of program components. You can find more information on each program page.
Typical Semester
From day one, when students arrive for orientation and meet the program's academic director (AD), they will be challenged to use their powers of observation and analysis. Program groups are purposefully small, allowing students to share experiences and learn from one another in addition to people in the host community.
Orientation occupies the first 3–7 days of the program and often takes place away from the program base. Students get to know the group, the AD, and program staff and are introduced to the basics of all aspects of the program. Orientations will cover health and safety, academics, and cross-cultural communication, along with other topics.
On many programs, students move into homestay accommodations soon after orientation and begin to use cultural and language skills right away.
In the first weeks of the program, students spend quite a bit of time in structured classes and program activities including language class, lectures, and field assignments. Students often find themselves quite busy balancing program obligations, out-of-class assignments, being with their host families, and personal time. The time spent at the program base is dynamic, challenging, and rewarding.
Educational excursions may take place at any point throughout the first couple of months of the program and can range in length from one day to several weeks. Excursions are integrated into the curriculum; throughout the excursion, students are engaged in learning as part of the academic program.
Prior to the Independent Study Project (ISP) portion of the program, students will take final exams. The first two-thirds of the program set the stage for the ISP, when students apply their learning in full-time independent research.
During the ISP, students work independently, with direction from an ISP advisor and the AD. During this period, some students may travel between different locations; others may stay in one area.
Finally, students present their work, participate in program evaluation, and prepare to return home.
Typical Day
Most SIT alumni will say that there is not a "typical day" for their program. The term progresses in phases and activities may take place on any day of the week and at any time of day.
A typical day at the program base might include a language class and a thematic seminar lecture in the morning, lunch, then an afternoon discussion/debriefing session, research methods and ethics assignment, and/or faculty/staff office hours. Other days may include a visit to a nongovernmental organization, an evening performance, time to make contacts in preparation for the ISP, or an outing with a homestay family. In general, during the initial phases of the program, days are more structured than at a US college or university.
Once the Independent Study Project period has started, days are scheduled by students and may include interviews, observation, data analysis, writing, and consultation with ISP advisors and academic directors.
Schedules change frequently, and students should be prepared to be flexible. If the chance of a lifetime comes around, our program staff will adjust schedules to take advantage of the opportunity!

Appendix -- Microscopic Procedures for Diagnosing Malaria
To establish the diagnosis of malaria, a blood smear must be prepared from fresh finger-prick blood ((Figure_A1) and (Figure_A2)). * The thin smear is fixed in methanol before staining; the thick smear is stained unfixed. Many hospitals have a Wright-Giemsa stain available, which is acceptable; however, Wright stain alone will not reliably stain Plasmodium parasites. For best results, the smear should be stained with a 3% Giemsa solution (pH of 7.2) for 30-45 minutes. In P. falciparum infections, the parasite density should be estimated by counting the percentage of red blood cells infected -- not the number of parasites -- under an oil immersion on a thin film.
Thick blood smears are more sensitive in detecting malaria parasites because the blood is concentrated, allowing a greater volume of blood to be examined. However, thick smears are more difficult to read, and thin smears may be preferred by laboratories that have limited experience. Plasmodium parasites are always intracellular, and they demonstrate, if stained correctly, blue cytoplasm with a red chromatin dot. Common errors in reading malaria smears are caused by platelets overlying a red blood cell, concerin about missing a positive slide, and misreading artifacts as parasites. Persons suspected of having malaria but whose blood smears do not demonstrate the presence of parasites should have blood smears repeated approximately every 12-24 hours for 3 consecutive days. If smears remain negative, then the diagnosis of malaria is unlikely.
For rapid diagnosis, make the thick and thin films on separate slides. Air dry the thin film, fix it with methyl alcohol, and immediately stain it. If no parasites are found on the thin film, wait until the thick film is dry and examine it for organisms that may not have been detected on the thin preparation.
In Figures A1 and A2, the hands are shown ungloved to better illustrate their placement during the procedures. However, wearing gloves while processing blood specimens is recommended to prevent transmission of

Isn't this the same thing Stanford Medical IT officials said the last time this happened? Clearly not releasing personal information in data that is going to be used by researchers does not seem to be something that they can do, or believe needs to be done. Or encrypting that information. Certainly internal ID numbers can be used to relate encrypted data to contact information kept on supposedly secure servers (which also should be encrypted).
Stanford IT people clearly understand that issuing a press release is a lot less work than coming up with a security regime for patient data that actually works.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

By Martin Henderson
Will Power won the most satisfying race of his life, but Scott Dixon won the IZOD IndyCar Series championship after a grueling 500 miles at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana on Saturday night.
Power finished 1.48 seconds ahead of last year's race winner, Ed Carpenter, and Indy 500 winner Tony Kanaan, to seize his third win of the season, the 21st of his career.
But the attention of the night race—delayed 20 minutes because of the glare of the setting sun facing Turn 3—around the 2-mile D-shaped oval built by Roger Penske belonged to Dixon and Helio Castroneves.
Castroneves, winner of three Indy 500s and one Mirror Ball Trophy from Dancing with the Stars, was seeking his first championship. Once again, he fell short of making his resume complete.
Instead, Dixon won his third title, each separated by five years. He won in 2003 and 2008, as well. And, for only the second time in the last eight years, the driver leading the championship going into the last race actually won the championship. The only other driver to do it: Dixon himself, in 2008. The driver chasing him then? Castroneves.
Dixon, who won four of the last nine races, acknowledged his titles came at different points in his career.
"The first one I was young and didn't really understand what I had won," Dixon said. "It was my first year in the series. My perspective when I was 22 or 23 of what I did and what I understand now is totally different. The competitiveness of the series has gone through the roof since the merge of the series in '08 (which) was a dream year. We (wife Emma) got married in 2008, won the Indy 500 and won the championship. It's pretty hard to beat that. This year was far different because mid-season we didn't think we had a shot at the championship."
Before winning the 500 mile race at Pocono—in which he also started 17th—Dixon was in seventh place in the championship. Even though he finished with a flourish, he ran over a crew member of Power's and was penalized to finish 15th at Sonoma, and Power crashed into him resulting in an 18th at Baltimore.
With three races left, he trailed Castroneves by 49 points. He won by 27.
Dixon finished the race fifth, sandwiched between James Hinchcliffe and Castroneves.
Castroneves gave Dixon plenty to worry about. Although Castroneves took the green flag 12th—he was penalized 10 grid positions after qualifying because of an unapproved Chevrolet engine change—he had moved to third place in the first six laps. On Lap 82, he took the lead—he led 27 laps overall—and at times, he led the championship based on running order.
But the race was 500 miles, and it took a tremendous toll on man and machine. Justin Wilson suffered a broken pelvis in a six-car crash, and only eight of the 25 cars that started were actually running at the checkered flag.
Only five cars finished on the lead lap, and sixth-place Castroneves was not one of them. He finished a lap down, largely because he suffered a penalty when Penske told him to pit when the pits were closed on Lap 212.
"Sorry about that," the legendary owner told his driver over the radio.
"It was a crazy day," Dixon said. "We had to work on a bit of strategy, we had to work on the car a lot, and then we had an issue with some overheating problems towards the end. I still can't believe we've won the championship. It's fantastic."
Overheating caused by debris on the track took its toll on engines, so there was always a chance Dixon could have suffered a fatal engine failure. The Target Honda owned by Chip Ganassi had overheating issues, but Dixon and the team nursed it to the end.
It was the last race for Ganassi's team using Honda power. He announced he is switching to Chevrolet next season. Power's victory gave Chevy the manufacturer's championship.
Power said he was spurned on by a comment made last year when Power was trying to win the championship and Ed Carpenter said he didn't think Power could win a title at this track. Power crashed, allowing Ryan Hunter-Reay to steal the championship from him.
"It's the most satisfying win of my life," Power said after climbing from his Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet. "That is the most satisfying thing I have ever done. And I wanted to do it so badly all year."
Power finished the season on a high note, winning three of the last five races.
There were 28 lead changes among 11 drivers. Power led a race-high 103 laps. Hunter-Reay, a former resident of Dana Point, led 45 and finished ninth, eight laps behind the winner. Sebastien Bourdais led 35 laps and might have given Marina del Rey-based Dragon Racing and owner Jay Penske—Roger Penske's son—his first victory. Bourdais was running in the top three when he crashed on Lap 230. He finished 12th.
Dixon pitted under the caution and took tires and cleaned his radiator as he babied his Target Honda to the finish. Power overtook Camarillo's Charlie Kimball after the restart on the Lap 237 and led the rest of the way.
Kimball, Dixon's teammate, suffered an engine failure and finished 10th in the race, but he moved up to ninth in the standings.
With Wilson's crash taking out six cars, Castroneves' only hope of winning the championship hinged on him finishing first or second.
"We fought hard, definitely pushed as hard as we could," Castroneves said. "Congrats to Ganassi and Scott. Unfortunately, one weekend for us that went bad cost us the championship."
That was the doubleheader in Houston two weeks ago when Castroneves suffered mechanical failure and finished 23rd and 22nd while Dixon finished first and second.
Saturday was a rough night those following Southern California storylines, including former Newport Beach resident Oriol Servia, who got his major open wheel racing career started in Rancho Santa Margarita driving for owner Cal Wells III. He finished 19th.
Servia, currently a Santa Monica resident driving for Panther Racing in the last race it has with sponsorship from the National Guard, was among six cars involved in Wilson's crash on Lap 111. Wilson not only suffered the non-operable pelvis injury, but a small pulmonary contusion and will undergo an MRI on his back, which he has broken previously.
Wilson lost the rear and spun around when his right rear got caught on one of the seams on the track. Wilson was T-boned by Tristan Vautier. Servia went high to avoid Wilson, and was struck on the side by Josef Newgarden in a violent collision. James Jakes and Simona de Silvestro got caught up as well. De Silvestro finished eighth, three laps behind.
"I didn't see him before I hit him," Vautier said. "There was just a big cloud of smoke. We were worried for Justin when he couldn't' get out of the car but apparently he's OK."
Kimball, the diabetic driver from Camarillo, looked like he was headed for a podium finish when his engine expired on Lap 238. He said overheating was not an issue.
Team owner Bryan Herta of Valencia put J.R. Hildebrand in the Barracuda Racing Honda and was running second on Lap 236 when he suffered a mechanical failure. He finished 11th.
Takuma Sato, whose season began with such promise driving for A.J. Foyt, failed to finish the race for the ninth time in 10 races. Sato, who won the Grand Prix of Long Beach and led the championship heading into the Indianapolis 500, retired his Honda with a mechanical issue after 144 laps. He finished 17th.
Honda Performance Development, based in Valencia, had only one car in the top nine: Dixon.

Pic: B.J. Penn prepares for Rory MacDonald fight at UFC 152. It seems as though retirement has been good to his waistline. The good news is "The Prodigy" has more than enough time to make the 170-pound division by Sept. 22, 2012, at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
UFC President Dana White may be even more of an evil genius than you thought. Removing Nick Diaz from the main event of UFC 137 only to place him in the co-main event in a still high profile fight against B.J. Penn was a roll of the dice, no question. But you can't argue they came up snake eyes. Click here to find out the how and why.
UFC 137 poster for "St. Pierre vs. Condit" on Oct. 29 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event also features former lightweight and welterweight champion B.J. Penn locking up with former Strikeforce kingpin Nick Diaz in the co main event of the evening. For the complete UFC 137 fight card and line-up click here.
Jon Fitch, who injured his shoulder and has been out of action since his Feb. 27 draw with B.J. Penn, has been cleared to fight again, as he explained on Twitter. "I'm back! Dr. Kavitne gave me the ok to fight." Fitch has repeatedly stated his desire to appear on the UFC 139 fight card coming to his backyard in San Jose on Nov. 19. But he also said he only wants to fight current or former champions. You Maniacs care to find an opponent for him? Anyone that fits the bill?
Jon Fitch wants to return at UFC 138 on Nov. 19 in San Jose. He tweeted today: "I feel amazing. See the doc on tue. I would love to fight my friend and legend @bjpenndotcom in San Jose in nov. I hope I'm healthy by then." Fitch, of course, trains at American Kickboxing Academy (AKA), which is conveniently located right there in San Jose. Anyone hoping this rematch against "The Prodigy" comes to fruition?
BJ Penn tells Jake Shields that he's contacting Dana White to set up a fight between the two former champions. "The Prodigy" claims Shields has been calling him out for years. Shields -- who is coming off a loss to Georges St. Pierre -- recently remarked that a fight with Penn is "not a bad idea." Will BJ get what BJ wants or are there better fights out there for both fighters ... and the fans?
Maniacs reppin' at the UFC Fan Expo
Jon Fitch, who was forced to pull out of his scheduled UFC 132 fight against B.J. Penn, will need surgery to repair his injured shoulder. The perennial welterweight contender announced the news on his Twitter: "Looks like I will be getting shoulder surgery next week. Not the news I was looking for." No timetable has been announced for his return but Fitch says he will be out for at least four to six months.

Town Square
Pitbull unleashed
Original post made by Concerned person on Oct 8, 2007
A young man walked with his Pitbull dog unleashed. I requested him politely to put his dog on a leash. He ignored my request and answered to me with profanity.
I just want to bring this fact to you and our community. I do not want to wait until my children are mauled or severely injured to stop this type of irresponsible behavior. People should walk their dogs on a leash, more so if they have a vicious dog.
The members of our community should report this type of irresponsible behavior to the Animal Control Department of the Pleasanton Police by calling 931-5100 so that we avoid an attack to ourselves or our children. We have the social responsibility to act in order to avoid an irreparable physical injury or in the worst case scenario losing a dear member of our family.
on Oct 8, 2007 at 3:52 pm
Seriously, folks with dogs need to keep them on a leash. Even if you think your dog is safe, the other person doesn't know you and your dog. I can't tell you how many times I've been out walking or riding my bike with my toddler and passed by responsible-looking adults with their unleashed dog, yes in Pleasanton parks and trails where leash law is in full effect.
on Oct 9, 2007 at 4:27 am
Your right, all dogs should be on a leash wether you feel it is safe or not...its just a responcibility. But that lady, is the problem here, not pitbulls. first of all, you mention "Pitbull dog" but do you even know for sure this was a pitbull? do you know the distinct variations or diff. between say a mastif or a mixed terrier? but even worse, just because you "thought" it was a pitbull doesnt mean rabid crazed dogs are going to start running through your little community mauling or severely injuring people. with all due respect your comment here is stupid. you thought you saw a muscular dog and heaven for bid he wasnt leashed so you saw it as your perfect oppertunity to jump the ban wagon of blaming the breed of a dog instead of the actions of its owner. with all this mike vick attention you must be the talk of the town...ill bet youve told this story of a vicious pitbull who threatened you little children in your front yard over and over. maybe you should spend more time learning about what it is your discussing. you know nothing about real american pitbull terrier.

And you know nothing about writing coherent sentences with correct grammar and word spellings, Robbie. The lady never stated any of which you accuse her in your rambling tirade.

Thanks to dannyfrost for this.Poured into a schlafly pint glass at fridge temp.
A. Light straw yellow,very clear. Lots of carbonation in here,Not much lacing at all.
S. Lots of yeast and earthy malts pretty much sums it up.A slight sweetness.
T. Huh I didn't get the hops in the nose But they are In there.Hops pull through and meld with the bready malts.
M. Thin feel and very light. Tons of stinging carbonation. Clean aftertaste.
Overall this a summer beer in every sense of the word.Not very complex but after reading the can I don't think it's intended to be.Like it says a nice gateway into craft beer.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #45 (Oct 2010):
Shiny, golden-yellow color, lively bubbles racing to the top which keeps the head intact. Smells of wholegrain cereal with the additions of wheat and oats, fermentation twang and hops in the nose as well. Crispness lays into the lighter but slick body; clean and grainy with a dry, doughy wholegrain bready flavor. Hops rest a modest bitterness on the palate, yet are big enough to balance. Drying finish has a clean linger of grain. A tasty canned treat, a lunch-time pounder. Craft tallboys, FTW!

(Served in a strange)
A- This beer pours a clear bright yellow body with a strong sea of carbonation and a snow white head that slowly boils away to a thin film.
S- The nice green sweet hint has a more faint sulfur note that dries it out just a bit. There is a field corn note in the finish that stays soft but has a nice compliment to the hops flavor.
T- The dry carbonic acid hint leads to a slightly sweet finish with a green sulfur note that takes on a faint candy quality before the woody hop hint in the finish. There is a gentle hop and field corn hint that lingers after the finish.
M- The medium-light mouthfeel is light and crisp but it has a creamy texture with the carbonation and thick head.
O- This beer is a great cream ale. It has some nice flavors that all blend and compliment each other. There is a touch of sweetness here and there to add freshness to the flavor but it says dry making it very sessionable. As the summer heats up this becomes more and more sessionable.

Sun King is definitely a great brewery. Sunlight Cream Ale was the first microbrew product I ever tried, having been subjected to Bud Light and other domestics at hockey games. The first time it was definitely a very good brew, however as I have sampled more and filled my palate with more I would definitely say this is bottom of the rung of craft beers.
The appearance is a consistent bronze/tan pour with a fingertip length head of foam. It is a light smell and taste and is definitely a craft beer to welcome someone to the world of microbrews and high flavor.
Overall a 4/5 because of its consistency in taste and appearance, but not a favorite beer for most people I am sure.

Pours a semi-cloudy golden from the pint can, with thick carbonation, but no lace.
Nose is pleasantly light, grainy, and malty, with a hint of buttered sweet corn. That's not to say it's bad, though. Actually it's pretty refreshing.
Taste is, expectedly, light and creamy. This one is sooo smooth and malty, but very drinkable and, as the can imparts, approachable. Sunlight Cream Ale wouldn't turn away lifetime macro drinkers, but has plenty of easy-going flavor for craft nerds, too. A solid and totally session-worthy brew here, not too complex, but smooth and well-crafted to style.

16 oz can into a pint glass.
Pours a crystal clear gold, topped with a couple billowy fingers of bright-white head. This sticks around with a thin foamy layer that leaves a cascade of light spotty froth behind, which quickly slides down the sides of the glass. The aroma is sweet and grainy in the nose, with some soft fruit accents poking out, as well as a green floral character that rounds out the edges.
Malt sweetness splashes the tongue in the taste, with some green earthy citrus mixed in and just a light touch of balancing bitterness which prickles the tongue. Finishes with some lingering residual sweetness and a bit of grit. Fairly clean overall though. The mouthfeel is lighter bodied, with a nice easy crispness to that gets maybe a little bit watery towards the back of the swallow.
This was definitley decent for a Cream Ale, with a little more a hop profile to it which helped add a bit more flavor and crispness. Not sure if this is worth the same $10 per 4-pack price as the Osirus but it's still a good one to keep chilled in the fridge and then go to town on during those hot summmer months.

Thanks to Auslander for including this extra in our recent trade.
Poured from a 16 oz. can (no date) into a pint glass.
A strong pour yields a 1/2-finger off-white head that quickly diminishes to a thin dusting and thin ring. The body is a clear pastel gold with a decent number or rising carbonation bubbles. Thick lacing attempts to stick to the glass, but is overcome by gravity.
Grains and light malt in the nose. Slight hints of lemon zest.
Sweet and bready malt flavors wash over the tongue easily. Then a lemony citrus stings the tip of the tongue. The flavors are light and subtle just as expected from this style. However, I personally believe that the flavors here are a little too mild as this beer seems rather watery.
Light bodied with decent carbonation, this beer definitely has good drinkability. It slides down the throat easily and is definitely a thirst-quencher.

Could John Ford Return to Political Office? There's a Law, but....
When former state senator John Ford returned to Memphis last week after four years in federal prison, his TV news cameo raised the unlikely prospect of a political comeback, according to The Commercial Appeal.
"You watch what I do,'' Ford told reporters before disappearing into a halfway house where he's banned from media contact. "I am not down. I am not out. I am way out in front.''
There's a state law that says people convicted of a felony involving a political office can never run for public office again.
The law change marks the end of an era in Tennessee, where politicians once could return to offices they'd disgraced.
Yet, Ford might have some wiggle room.
One of the law's primary sponsors, former state Rep. Frank Buck, said last week he's unsure if the law applies to Ford, who was convicted in April 2007, just weeks before it took effect July 1.
"It may or may not apply to him,'' said Buck, a Smithville, Tenn., attorney. "You'd have to ask the attorney general on that one. I had some questions, too. You get always into the ex post facto situation.''
Previously, disgraced officials found plenty of opportunity to reinvent themselves.
Former Memphis city councilman Rickey Peete did just that, going to prison in 1989 for bribery only to win re-election and return to prison in 2007 -- again for bribery. In so doing, he earned a nickname -- 'Rickey Re-Peete.'
Politicians such as Peete became eligible to retake office after getting their voting and civil rights restored in a court of law. They can still get their rights restored under the new law -- they just can't hold elected office.
The law says the ban applies to state government as well as "any political subdivision.'' Cities and counties are considered political subdivisions of the state.
"They ought to be eternally banned from office,'' offered Buck, who said his bill was motivated by repeated scandals he witnessed over his 36 years in the legislature. "Something needed to be done.''
Whether Ford, now 70, even wants back into politics is an uncertain question.
His brother, Joe Ford, thinks not.
"I doubt it. They passed that law where you can't go back,'' said Ford, a former Shelby County commissioner and one-time interim county mayor. "When we're together we don't talk about politics. I don't want to speak for him. But that would be something he would have to decide.''
