A Phoenix-area school girl is smiling again after two Phoenix police officers dug into their pockets to buy her a backpack and supplies on the first day of school.
Officer Ben Carro, a community action officer, was directing traffic at Loma Linda Elementary for their first day of school, on Monday, when he noticed a student, Leslie Gonzales, walking alone and crying.
Carro said he and a school aid, Jill Lebario, went up to the student, and discovered she was upset because her mother couldn't buy her a backpack for another two weeks.
Lebario tried to console Leslie, as the girl entered the school grounds, but the student was still upset and crying.
Carro and fellow community action officer, Jon McLachlan, took a ride to a local Target store.
There, they bought not only a backpack for the girl, but also a lunch box, water bottle, folders, pens, markers, crayons, a ruler and pencils they could give her as Leslie started the new school year.
"Leslie had come to school crying and upset, but by the middle of her first hour on that ever so important first day of school, she was smiling and enjoying a fresh start to the new school year," the officers said in a post on the Phoenix Police Department's Facebook page.

What do you get when you put hunters, fisherman, farmers, bikers, ranchers, paddlers, climbers, conservationists, tribal leaders, small business owners, local government leaders, federal representatives, mountain guides and the President of the United States all in a room together to discuss the link between conservation and strong economies? You get the White House Conference on Conservation.
The conference, Growing America's Outdoor Heritage and Economy, held at the Department of Interior on Friday, March 2, explored the link between protecting public lands and strong local economies through tourism, outdoor recreation, and healthy environment.
As the U.S representative for professional mountain guides and climbing instructors, it was a huge honor for the American Mountain Guides Association to have been invited to participate in this monumental event.
It seems everywhere I have been going lately, from Outdoor Retailer tradeshow, to Outdoor Alliance Partnership Summit, to Stanford's Conference on Commercial Services and the Wilderness Act, everyone is talking about partnerships, and the White House Conference on Conservation was no exception.
The aim of the conference was to bring together key stakeholders from around the nation to strengthen coalitions, explore successful partnerships, and to think collectively about what the future holds for our public lands, waterways and local economies.
With input from Nancy Sutley, Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality; Ken Salazar, Secretary of Interior; Tom Vilsack, Secretary of Agriculture; Lisa Jackson, Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency; Jo-Ellen Darcy, Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works), a select panel of grassroot advocates and President Barack Obama himself, it was clear that connecting people with America's Great Outdoors, while also preserving our cultural heritage and wilderness legacy, and growing local economies, is something our current administration genuinely cares about and is working hard to address.
What this means for the guiding community is that our government seems to be concerned with many of the same issues that historically have had significant impacts on our profession- access, work visas, job security, and preservation of the land we all love and rely on to make our livings.
As the "uncommon dialogue" becomes more common, the AMGA will continue to advocate for, not only keeping our public lands and vertical wildernesses open to facilitated recreational experiences, but for a streamlined, systematic, and well-founded way to grant access for professional guides, educators and their clients.

LANCASTER - A week ago, Cpl. Thomas Chaney was on patrol chasing a tornado. The Glenn Heights officer ended up near his home in neighboring Lancaster.
"Me and several other people went door-to-door to see if people were pinned in," Chaney said. "While it was going on, I went by at least three times, before I realized it wasn't there no more."
After he helped save others, he came home to find his house gone.
"I was shocked to see it was all gone, off its foundation," Chaney said.
Nothing was left standing, and it's not the first time the home has been wiped out.
In July, when it was 108 degrees, his home burned to the ground. Cpl. Chaney showed us pictures he took on his iPhone. His home couldn't be saved.
"They said I had to knock it down and start over again," Chaney said.
He worked off-duty jobs to pay for the rebuilding. The home was 85-percent complete when the tornado wiped it out a second time.
"Do you think there's a message here to you?" we asked him.
"Keep on going," Chaney said.
Remarkably, Chaney says he wants to rebuild again.

The Boston Police Department is investigating a multi-car crash that sent four people to the hospital Monday.
Police said a woman and child were at the corner of Tremont and Prentiss Street in Roxbury when they were hit by the two cars. They were transported to a hospital along with two others for non-life threatening injuries.
Anthony Matringa was across the street at a dentist's office and immediately called 911.
"I heard a thud and I looked out and I heard one of the other patients say they saw the guy going left," he said.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation but it is believed one vehicle was turning left when it was hit by the other vehicle then pushed into a streetlight and the pedestrians.
A police sergeant at the scene said the woman and child are lucky to be alive.
The woman and her child, as well as both drivers, are all expected to be okay.

The owner of an Allentown distribution business and the operators of five gas stations and convenience stores in Lehigh and Montgomery counties are among 15 people who have been arrested in connection with an organization that allegedly distributed "bath salts" and other synthetic drugs throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, authorities said Thursday.
Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Ferman said the arrests were the culmination of a year-long investigation involving the Lehigh County District Attorney's office and a number of municipal police forces in both counties.
Ferman described Kenneth Zak Grossman, 52, of Allentown, the owner of J & L Wholesale Distributors, as the "head" of the organization, which authorities said supplied retail outlets with "bath salts," synthetic marijuana, synthetic cannabinoids, and associated drug paraphernalia after those substances became illegal to sell or possess in Pennsylvania in August 2011.
Ferman said the investigation that led to J & L Wholesale Distributors involved the creation of a artificial "front" business in Souderton, from which undercover detectives visited J & L on multiple occasions over a period of several months in order to negotiate the wholesale purchase of banned substances.
During a July 25 raid, Ferman said, authorities seized "two tractor-trailers" of contraband in addition to more than $900,000 in suspected proceeds, which Ferman said represented just two days' production of the organization's activity.
"That tells me this is a big business," Ferman said.
In addition to the drugs themselves, J & L allegedly sold various items intended to conceal drugs from casual observation, such as wall clocks with hidden compartments and containers made to resemble cans of common household goods, such as artificial coffee creamer and WD-40 brand lubricant.
Ferman was particularly critical of the packaging of many of the narcotics, which employed the use of logos and names that she said were intended to attract younger buyers. She displayed two packets of alleged narcotics, one labeled "Scooby Snacks" and another decorated with "Batman" logos.
"These are designed to appeal to young people," Ferman said. "We are trying to get the message out there that these substances are not safe."
In addition to Grossman, the following people have been charged in connection with the alleged organization:
- Jason Grossman, 24, Bethlehem, PA
- Mangat Malwinder, 26, Leesport, PA
- Rajwant Singh Thind, 30, Orefield, PA
- Mohammad F. Rahman, 42, Lansdale, PA
- Ibrahim Fayez Saloum, 31, Schwenksville, PA
- Amy Nichole Velasquez, 30, Schwenksville, PA
- Kunal G. Patel, 42, Allentown, PA
- Jaymin G. Patel, 45, Allentown, PA
- Yashvant M. Patel, 49, East Greenville, PA
- Yogesh Patel, 45, East Greenville, PA
- Lisa Zupa, 35, Palmerton, PA
- Jeffrey Robertson, Jr., 25, Breingsville, PA
- Dean A. Fenstermaker, Jr., 29, Allentown, PA
- Abdulah F. Soonasra, 64, Alburtis, PA
Among the convenience stores that authorities allege distributed bath salts or synthetic marijuana after a state law banned their use are:
- , South Whitehall, owned and operated by Jaymin Patel and Kunal Patel
- , Upper Macungie, operated by Rajwant Thind

Leyton Orient's Russell Slade: Tie with Southend United isn't over yet
4:24pm Wednesday 6th February 2013 in Sport By Chris Phillips
LEYTON Orient manager Russell Slade is certain the O's can still win their two legged tie Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie against Southend United.
The O's head to Roots Hall 1-0 down from the first leg at Brisbane Road.
But Slade has not given up hope of getting through to Wembley.
"We've made life very difficult for us but there's a lot to play for as it's still only half-time," said Slade.
"We're now the underdogs and Southend have got an advantage now at home.
"I would think they probably think the job is mainly done but I think it's far from over though and there is a lot of football still left."

Winter Activities:
It is hard for some to believe, but the Big Sky area has two of the
best western ski resorts in close proximity. Between the
established Big Sky Ski Resort operated by Boyne USA and the newest
ski resort in the West, Moonlight Basin, there are over 5,600
skiable acres (more than Jackson Hole, Beaver Creek, Aspen, Vail,
Deer Valley and Squaw Valley. In addition to 5600 skiable acres, the
resorts feature 4350 feet of vertical, over 400 inches of dry, light
powder, and 190 plus runs as long as 6 miles.
The Big Sky Resort is centered around the mountain village situated
just below our gorgeous 4 bedroom log accented home. There are ski
lifts within � mile of the home along with the mountain village main
parking lot being less than a 5 minute drive.
In addition to the Big Sky resort, the Moonlight Basin resort
borders the northern flank of the Big Sky Resort. Moonlight
Basin's location on the Madison Range's famed Lone Mountain assures
more than 400 inches of light, dry powder snow each year. And the
trail network's predominantly north-facing exposure ensures that
snow will stay drier and fluffier than that found at most other
resorts. Most of our guests find that they can ski different runs
each day if they desire with short lift lines and mountains all to
And we might add, kids 10 and under ski free at Big Sky resort.
Although skiing is the focus in the winter season (Thanksgiving to
early April), there are a number of other tremendous opportunities
to consider in between ski runs.
First of all, the world famous Yellowstone National Park is about 45
minutes away. The wonders of Yellowstone park are really beyond
words. Yellowstone Park has over 2.2 million acres of the most
varied and fascinating terrain that only our creator could fashion.
The park includes thousands of geothermal wonders, abundant Western
wildlife, the gorgeous Yellowstone blue ribbon trout river and the
20 plus mile Yellowstone lake just to name a few highlights.
Snowmobiling in Big Sky and Yellowstone Park offers an unparalleled
opportunity to experience Montana's backcountry. You may choose to
visit Yellowstone by either snowmobile or snow coach, available
through many rental companies and guides in West Yellowstone, only
48 miles away. Locally, there are miles and miles of snowmobile
trails into the Gallatin National Forest. Snowshoeing, dog sledding
and snow-cat skiing are also popular activities in the area, as are
horseback riding and horse-drawn sleigh rides. Local companies offer
a wide variety of ways to experience Montana's great outdoors in the
After a long day of Big Sky winter adventure, you can relax at many
spas located in three convenient locations in the Mountain Village.
Big Sky is home to many restaurants, offering everything from
homemade pizza, burgers and ribs to wild game and thick juicy
Summer Activities:
For world class fly-fishing, none would dispute Montana as one of
the premier domestic destinations. The famed Gallatin is so close to
the Sioux Lodge, you can have your flies in the water in less than
15 minutes.
Big Sky has the rare privilege of close proximity to the world class
Gallatin river, a true blue ribbon trout stream. And just one valley
to the east and west lay two other world class rivers, the Madison
and the Yellowstone.
In addition, tucked away in the Rockies lay countless small bodies
of water that can be reached by hiking or pack animals that lay home
to trout you have only dreamed about! There is so much high
potential water in the area, you could spend weeks hitting just the
most productive spots! Montana trout counts in these waters reach as
high as 3000 to 4000 trout per river mile...amazing!
Just one such pack trip as noted by a local outfitter
explains : "The Spanish Peaks in the Lee Metcalf Wilderness is home
to some of the most pristine high alpine lakes in North America.
After a two- to four-hour ride you will arrive at one of these
lakes, and fish for Cutthroat, Rainbow, Golden Trout or Arctic
Grayling. These fish receive little fishing pressure and the scenery
is spectacular! After a morning of riding and fishing, enjoy a
lakeside lunch and more fishing in the afternoon before heading
back. On the overnight trip, you will be able to fish the entire
evening and next morning."
The Gallatin River. Yellowstone River. The Madison River. The Big
Horn and Missouri Rivers. Then there's Ennis Lake. Lewis Lake.
Yellowstone Lake. And Slough Creek. If a Fly-fishing Hall of Fame
existed, these would all be in it. And all are here within easy
reach from Big Sky and the Sioux Lodge.
Big Sky, Montana is truly world class for fishing.
When it comes to summer at Big Sky, this may be an even better kept
secret than Big Sky world-class skiing. For world class fly-fishing,
none would dispute Montana as one of the premier domestic
The famed Gallatin (made famous in the movie 'A River Runs Thorough

When you walk into the East Dallas Swiss Avenue office that houses Friends of Wednesday's Child (FWC), the wall of gratitude catches your eye. To think there are some children would not get a birthday gift if it wasn't for non-profits like FWC may be mind boggling to some, but it is a reality. Despite staff reductions and cutting programs, the charity needs $300,000 immediately.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- Ilya Kovalchuk had a goal and two assists, and the New Jersey Devils extended their winning streak to four with a 5-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday.
Anton Volchenkov, Dainius Zubrus, Zach Parise and David Clarkson also scored for the Devils, who remained perfect since the All Star break while equaling their season-best win streak. Kovalchuk has been the key to the surge with three goals and seven assists in the four games.
Martin Brodeur made 28 saves to improve to 11-2 in his last 13 decisions against Pittsburgh. He also got an assist on Clarkson's empty-net score in the closing seconds.
Matt Niskanen and Evgeni Malkin scored for the Penguins, who had won 9 of 10.

Kelley: Managing the impression others have about you
This column is the second of two parts. — Editor
Folks have been using the media for impression management ever since print was the only game in town. Even would-be authors knew about image.
Remember when members of the gentler sex adopted pseudonyms or settled for unisex initials to hoodwink sexist publishing houses into supposing they were men?
As many as a million radio listeners were duped into believing America was being invaded by Martians when Orson Welles interrupted dance music with mock radio news announcements.
His 1938 "War of the Worlds" radio play seemed so authentic that listeners were actually injured during the ensuing panic.
The Television Age also saw image manipulation on a grand scale — and not just by savvy politicians. In 1968, Andy Warhol famously said, "In the future, everyone will be world famous for 15 minutes."
Arguably, Warhol was echoing the "medium is the message" theory of Marshall McLuhan. The communication theorist held that of all the existing media, only television possessed the ability to thrust the ordinary citizen (as opposed to the overachiever) center stage. Fame, however, was ephemeral — evaporating as quickly as it had appeared when somebody else took a turn.
Prompted by the rise of online social networking, blogging, podcasting and uploading to video-sharing sites, David Weinberger rewrote Warhol. His "Cluetrain Manifesto" version read, "In the future, everyone will be famous to 15 people."
But is 15 enough? Probably not — if you are going to all the trouble of managing your online image. And most of us are.
A study conducted by Pew's Mary Madden and Aaron Smith reported that 57 percent of adult Internet users have employed a search engine like Google to discover what information is available about them on the World Wide Web.
Seventy-one percent of those under 30 report adjusting their privacy settings to limit information shared online. That's so grandma and future employers aren't privy to what went on in Vegas. Ever.
Still, whether young or old, there is always the danger of a message intended for friends to inadvertently go viral. In 2011, Alexandra Wallace found that out the hard way when she uploaded a three-minute diatribe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCYIeZJemes) against Asian student cellphone usage in the school library.
While the university decided not to discipline the political science major and part-time bikini model, Wallace informed the Daily Bruin that her reasons for leaving UCLA, where 37 percent of the student body is Asian, included "the harassment of my family, the publishing of my personal information, death threats and being ostracized from an entire community."
While Wallace only intended "to produce a humorous YouTube video," the clip was eventually shared with millions via social media sites and email.
Question: Since popularity is the goal on Facebook and Twitter, exactly how do you maximize your fan base? Answer: Think positive.
According to Jonah Berger, author of "Contagious: Why Things Catch On," good news usually spreads faster and farther than bad. "The 'if it bleeds, (it leads)' rule works for mass media that just want you to tune in," wrote the social psychologist from the University of Pennsylvania. "They (just) want your eyeballs and don't care how you're feeling. But when you share a story with your friends and peers, you care a lot more how they react. You don't want them to think of you as Debbie Downer."
Berger and behavioral economist Katherine Milkman devised a unique experiment to test his theory. They analyzed the content of articles making The New York Times "most emailed" list.
What they discovered was that the more emotional the stories, the more likely they would be shared. In terms of specific content, while readers seemed to be aroused by both positive (awe-inspiring, exciting or funny) and negative (anger- or anxiety-inducing) stories, they definitely preferred positive.
Brain areas associated with social cognition tend to light up the most, according to Emily Falk at the University of Michigan. She's a neuroscientist attempting to determine the type of thoughts that gather the most buzz.
"You'd expect people to be most enthusiastic and opinionated and successful in spreading ideas that they themselves are excited about," writes Dr. Falk. "But our research suggests that's not the whole story. Thinking about what appeals to others may be even more important."
But there is a dark side to impression management as well — envy.
According to a study titled "Cyberpsychology, Behavior and Social Networking," the more time you spend on Facebook, the more you will perceive life as unfair — since everybody else seems to be enjoying the perfect vacation, perfect family, perfect life.
This quote by author Jon Foreman recently appeared on Facebook: "Greed, envy, sloth, pride and gluttony: these are not vices anymore. No, these are marketing tools."

PEKIN, Ill.-- After six and a half years, HOI-19 is proud to announce its one thousandth pet adoption through Best Friends Friday.
TAPS Director Holly Crotty said, "When people come into the shelter, they'll come in and say they saw this animal or that animal on Best Friends Friday."
Daybreak's Mark Welp and Gretchen Wirtz partnered with Pekin's TAPS no kill animal shelter back in 2006, showcasing three animals up for adoption every Friday morning.
"The fact that they have chosen us for the shelter of choice to do Best Friends Friday and promote our dogs and cats. We could not be more grateful for their assistance to help us adopt out so many animals," said Crotty.

Zimmerman wants better management of evidence
FLORIDA, USA (AP) — Attorneys for former neighbourhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman said in a motion today that prosecutors are dragging their feet on turning over evidence.
Zimmerman's attorneys said prosecutors aren't turning information over in a timely manner and are providing some material in a format that's useless for defence experts to examine. They're asking for monthly hearings to manage the turnover of evidence from prosecutors to defence lawyers.
"The state's approach to discovery has been to require the defence to figure out what the state has failed to provide and then ask for it rather than fulfilling the state's legal obligation to provide complete and timely discovery," attorney Donald West said in the motion.
A spokeswoman for the State Attorney's Office didn't immediately respond to an email and phone call seeking comment.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin during a confrontation in a central Florida gated community last February.
Zimmerman's attorneys also asked prosecutors for cellphone photos taken by a witness and a police officer on the night of the shooting.
Zimmerman's latest filings come less than a week after his attorneys asked prosecutors for any evidence that might suggest Martin's civil rights were violated by Zimmerman. Martin was black, and Zimmerman has a Peruvian mother and a white father.
Martin's parents and supporters claim that the unarmed teenager was targeted because he was black and that Zimmerman started the confrontation that led to the shooting. But Zimmerman's family members have denied that he was racist in anyway.
The US Justice Department launched a probe into the initial handling of the investigation after Zimmerman wasn't arrested for 44 days after the shooting. Zimmerman's attorneys also asked for information on any probe into the Sanford Police Department's handling of racial tension in Sanford after Martin's death.

MOSFETPronounced MAWS-feht. Acronym for metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor, a common type of transistor in which charge carriers, such as electrons, flow along channels. The width of the channel, which determines how well the device conducts, is controlled by an electrode called the gate, separated from channel by a thin layer of oxide insulation. The insulation keeps current from flowing between the gate and channel.

Lead found in brand of locally-sold licorice
The City of Kansas City, Mo., Health Department is warning consumers to avoid "Lucky Country Aussie Style Soft Gourmet Natural Flavor Black Licorice" due to elevated levels of lead discovered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The product was manufactured in North Carolina and distributed in Costco stores. Staff at local Costco stores told the Health Department that the Costco Corporate Office has notified their stores of this recall, and they are pulling the product.
Lucky Country has recalled this product in 15 states, not including Missouri or Kansas. However, a Lucky Country spokesperson said they would expand the recall to include Missouri.
The recall is limited to black licorice candy in a plastic 1.5-pound bag. The front of the bag contains the words "Lucky Country Aussie Style Soft Gourmet Black Licorice." The package also says "All Natural" on the front and a picture of a yellow kangaroo.
Lead is a toxin that can cause permanent damage to many parts of the body, including the kidney, cardiovascular, reproductive, brain and nervous systems. While most people with lead poisoning do not have visible symptoms, some may complain of stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, weakness in the arms and legs, irritability and memory loss.
The Health Department recommends that anyone who has been eating the recalled product to immediately stop using it. Any child or pregnant woman should receive a blood lead test. The Health Department offers free blood lead tests for Kansas City, Mo., residents. Schedule an appointment for a lead test by calling (816) 513-6048.
For more information on childhood lead poisoning prevention, visit the Health Department Web site at www.kcmo.org/health.
Media inquiries about this topic should be directed to the Health Department, (816) 840-2548 (pager).

British Paper: Obama 'Maldives' Gaffe 'Uncharacteristic;' More Akin to Bush; Where Have They Been?!
By D. S. Hube | April 17, 2012 | 16:40
The Telegraph (UK) notes that President Obama made an "uncharacteristic" gaffe the other day by calling the Falklands Islands -- known as the Malvinas in Argentina -- the "Maldives." And it did so by pointing out ... that George W. Bush was more prone to such blunders, "Barack Obama made an uncharacteristic error, more akin to those of his predecessor George W. Bush, by referring to the Falkland Islands as the Maldives."
While President George W. Bush certainly made his fair share of gaffes, one can certainly wonder if the former chief exec was indeed more apt to make such errors, or whether it was the media -- in this case the foreign press -- that highlighted them more often than it does those of our current president.
For example, take Oliver Burkeman's "homage" to Mr. Bush in the [UK] Guardian just prior to the former president's departure from the White House in 2009: "The gaffes, the gibberish, the gurning. Admit it: there's a part of him you're going to miss" he writes. He then includes the memorable moment of Mr. Bush walking into a locked door while in China, followed by just about every memorable verbal/grammar gaffe of his presidency.
The [Australian] Telegraph had fun with Bush's "phonetic teleprompter," and the Guardian offered up "George Bush's finest gaffes." The BBC pointed out his mistakes in a terrorism speech.
The [UK] Daily Mail giggled at the former president mixing up Austria with Australia, while the aforementioned BBC certainly had fun with the former president's blunders with British royalty. Ironically, our current president thought that Austrian was an actual language, and he's had his own share of gaffes with regards to the British and their royalty.
So, are such blunders, verbal and otherwise, "uncharacteristic" of President Obama? Let's take a look at some classics:
- Obama thought there are fifty-eight states in the Union.
- Obama said that Hawaii was part of Asia.
- Obama didn't know that Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chávez was first elected during the tenure of President Clinton, not President Bush, whom he blamed for Chávez's ascension.
- Obama thought ten thousand of people died in Kansas tornadoes back in May, 2008.
- Obama honored "fallen heroes" on 2008's Memorial Day, stating "and I see many of them in the audience here today."
- Obama once spoke about his uncle, who supposedly "helped liberate" the Auschwitz concentration camp. Except that the Americans didn't liberate that camp. The Russians did in January of 1945.
- Obama repeated his Auschwitz blunder by later speaking of his grandfather, who fought in Patton's army. He also then noted that his grandfather heard the stories of fellow troops who "first entered" the Treblinka concentration camp. Except that Treblinka was never liberated.
- Obama didn't know that, with re-election, he only serves a maximum of eight years.
- Obama thought that a bomb -- one -- fell on Pearl Harbor that fateful day in December of 1941.
- Obama thought he served on the Senate Banking Committee ... even though he never served on the Senate Banking Committee.
- Obama didn't know what a "corpsman" is, pronouncing it "corpse-man."
- Obama claimed that Winston Churchill once stated "We don't torture" to supposedly back up his policy differences with former President Bush in the War on Terror. Except that, there's no record of Churchill ever saying that, but there are records of the British MI19 torturing German POWs from 1940-1948 in what was known as the "London Cage."

Michelle Obama: 'This President Has Brought Us Out of the Dark and Into the Light'
4:49 PM, Apr 17, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER
Single Page Print Larger Text Smaller Text Alerts
Michelle Obama made a remarkable claim when talking up her husband, President Barack Obama, at a campaign event earlier today in Nashville, Tennessee.
Barack & Michelle Obama at Washington DC public charter school 2-3-09 1
"I am so in," Michelle Obama said toward the end of her remarks. "I am going to be working so hard. We have an amazing story to tell. This president has brought us out of the dark and into the light."
The crowd of nearly 450 folks applauded as the first lady likened her husband to a Jesus-like figure.
In the book of Matthew, we read, "the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up." (Matthew 4:16) The phrase is used to describe the words Jesus preached.
In Micah, light, however, is a reference to God's words. "Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me," it says in Micah 7:8.
Either way, in religious terms, light is used to denote the true path, presented either by God or a savior. Or by Barack Obama.

#18 Yeah, I read about that

Yeah, I read about that 'uncharacteristic gaffe' this morning................being more 'Bush-like'. Granted that Bush wasn't particularly glib on a teleprompter, he was pretty quick-witted off the cuff, and I don't see any evidence that he has made any percentage of stupid, erroneous, idiotic, and proof-of-psuedo-intellectual remarks that Boy Baraka has made. Blonde has a good list, and if you go back to BEFORE his ascendency to the throne, you could compound that list many times. Baraka is tedious and a monumental bore while ON the teleprompter - even with everything pre-written for him, and he is just another middle-of-the-road-IQ (and that's a stretch!!) self-absorbed and intellectually self-deceiving dolt when he is speaking inpromptu.

Well, I haven't looked at your list in a while, so obviously I was wrong about the pre-ascension remarks.............but I'm sure we can both agree that there are a lot of 'nuggets' floating around that could be added to your list. And I still think that Bush isn't nearly in the same ballpark as Baraka on this subject.

#21 TelePrompter gaffes
Submitted by OuttaMyWay on Tue, 04/17/2012 - 9:12pm.
wasn't the 57 states one on 'prompter? Seems like a few of these are not gaffes but "coded messages" to the true believers...
so before i get written off as a kook... i mean like 57 states refers to the territories/non-states becoming actual states. things that he is promising to people.
if you know of any of these are in actual speeches, and possibly in the talk track, you should make a note of that.

Nope, the 57 states wasn't on prompter. Actually, I have always wondered why people keep saying he thinks there are 57 states. Listen to what he says. He states he has been to 57 states, and has one to go...that's 58...and he was not going to Alaska or Hawaii, his staff wouldn't let him go. that's 60. So, he believes there are 60 states, not 57. And since he was only visiting the contiguous states (no Alaska or Hawaii) a reference to making the territories states seems unlikely.

#25 I think the REAL insidious
Submitted by killa37 on Wed, 04/18/2012 - 12:44am.
I think the REAL insidious meaning behind that '57 states' comment was that it actually signifies the 57 moooooooooooslem countries in this world, and that it was uttered by a guy who was RAISED in a mooooooooooooslem country, and can recite parts of the Quran ( or Koran, or toilet paper - however you want to describe it) perfectly, and a guy who has called the morning prayers the 'most beautiful sound on earth' (well, I don't even WANT to imagine what Moooooooooochelle sounds like, when she is 'praising Allah'!! You know??? 'Oh God'..........'Oh God'................'Praise Allah'!!!), and has also stated - in no uncertain tems - that he IS a mooooooooooooooslem, many times!!!
So don't get too hung up on the 'American' aspect of the 57 states, because that's NOT where it is coming from with Boy Baraka!!!

Submitted by Kingfish17 on Wed, 04/18/2012 - 6:01am.
I agree with killa37. This is the most logical explanation. Most kids, (it used to be all kids), getting an education in the U.S. know by ROTE that the United States has fifty states. Anyone who is schooled here, would NEVER say 57. Obama was schooled in a Muslim Madrasah. Obama had been campaigning hard, was tired, and this is the first thing that popped into his head when referring to the number of states he had been to. It's what he remembered, by rote.
It's nothing nefarious. Obama wasn't referring to "territories" or anything of the kind. His subconscious told him 57.

This insult to the brits by trying to call it Malvinas and not by the internationally recognized Falkland islands is a kin to some one calling New York occupied New Amsterdam. And/or the common insult ot Israel when they call Jerusalem, Al Quds and mean it as if the name Jerusalem is a non-word non-place to anyone.
By trying to call it Malvinas was just normal to the thumb to the eye of the UK and par for the course of Obama. And messing up that insult was also par to the course.

Interview with Pam MacKinnon, director of 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?'
The umbrella turned inside out in the rain and the subway was late. Arriving to our coffee date sopping wet and quarter past the hour, we made for a pathetic sight — and it was hard not to imagine that Pam MacKinnon would have staged it better. But she was understanding as well, which is not surprising. Who else has a proven ability to sympathize with the humor and heartbreak of the human condition than the director of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" (along with seven other Edward Albee plays in the past 11 years, not to mention last season's triumphant "Clybourne Park"). Several paper towels later, we got down to the heart of the matter:
So talk to me about the process of getting involved in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
I've known Edward [Albee, playwright] for about 11 years, and this is the seventh play of his that I've directed. Molly Smith, the director of Arena Stage, called me up two, maybe three years ago. They were doing an Albee festival and she wanted me to direct "Virginia Woolf." Obviously "Virginia Woolf" is one of Edward's big, big, big, most well-known plays, and I had not directed that yet. We started to talk about casting, because that's so important. I mentioned that I would love to see Amy Morton in the role of Martha. And that word got back to Steppenwolf Theatre. I spoke to [artistic director] Martha Lavey and she said, "Have you ever considered Tracy Letts in the role of George?" And I said, "Well that would be amazing." And she said, "Well can it start at Steppenwolf? If Molly Smith would allow that, we could hop it over to Arena." Edward had never let Steppenwolf do his plays, so it was my job to make sure Edward was on board with that.
This was now two seasons ago. We did a big, healthy run of this in Chicago. Then one week later the set was trucked across the country, then we set it up in D.C. That's when Jeffrey Richards, who's my producer for the Broadway production, came down — at the very tail end of our run in D.C. He'd produced "August: Osage County," so both Amy and Tracy were really dear to him. But he didn't come down to produce this play, he came down because he wanted to support them. And partway through watching this, he said, "I need to bring this to New York." And it was his brainstorm that if we didn't bring it right away, if we waited an extra year and a half, we could celebrate the golden anniversary of this play and open this play to the day of its original Broadway opening: Oct. 13, 1962.
And that timing just happened to work — you got a theater on Broadway for the exact date?
Producers jockey for theaters. Jeffrey had this in mind and wanted this to be its opening date. So he did what Broadway producers do. It's at the top of the fall season, so theaters are available. And we scored the Booth, which is an amazingly intimate playhouse.
Did you find "Woolf" to be intimidating as Albee's best-known work?
No, I was ready for it. I work a lot with writers, and it's exciting to have an ongoing relationship and pop into a writer's project. Was it easy? By no means. But it wasn't intimidating. … He came out for two days of rehearsal at the end of our third week and saw what we were up to and gave me a handful of notes. He didn't see it again until we were up and running in D.C. When I've worked with him on shows in New York, he comes to rehearsal on a bit more regular basis. But it's an ongoing writer-director relationship. I talk to him on the phone, he dropped by rehearsal — it's normal.
It's darker content at a time when many shows are religious or uplifting or escapist. And this show is about the perils of using escapism to detach from the realities of life. So do you feel like this fits in right now and is relevant among what else is out there?
Obviously it's a serious but incredibly funny and entertaining piece of theater. I mean we're doing it 50 years later for a reason — it's a classic American play. It's a three-act play — it has more laughs, but also more emotional punches, than anything out there. You're consistently entertained as you go through it. There's an element of the big room getting entertained, which is inherently escapist. This is a play about two marriages, it's a play about the price — but the necessity — of leading an authentic life. And those are big themes to wrestle with, and I think audiences go on a huge roller coaster ride — it's pretty light at the beginning, but I hope people are moved by the end.
I heard someone ask, "Why don't they just leave?" The older couple is really testing the younger couple, and the front door is upstage center, so I thought that was a valid question: How you get them to stay in the situation they get themselves into?
The cast and I have collectively and consistently signed up for living up to the first act's title, which is "Fun and Games." And there's not that much dire going on. There is clearly tension between George and Martha (and it's really specifically centered on George maligning her father, but that's an old wound). [Then] Honey has to go powder her nose, and they're gone for quite some time. And George is sort of batting Nick around, but it's nothing Nick can't handle. … They're talking about their marriages, they're talking very generically about woman — there's not much to flee from. Nick, at the very start of that exchange with George, does suggest that he should leave, but George placates him: "Come on, let have another drink, let's sit." And then at the end of the second act, Honey is vomiting in the bathroom. So he can't go, his wife is sick. So the play takes care of itself. As to the geography of the room, I wanted that upstage center door — I wanted George opening the door and Nick and Honey being right there as Martha's saying: "F— you!" … So there's the rationale for that.
Do you have any personal relationship with the themes in this show?
I feel a great deal of empathy for all these characters, that they're stuck and that the accumulation of life's disappointments between George and Martha have grown and grown and grown, and they're stuck in this cycle. There's something about the younger couple almost infecting George and Martha. In many respects I find Nick and Honey's marriage more distressing than George and Martha's. Because Nick and Honey don't share anything, they don't respect each other, there isn't empathy or concern flowing between them. They haven't invented anything together. George and Martha, they give kudos to each other when they score a good point. Nick and Honey never do anything like that. They don't speak to each other. Is there anything personal I'm looking into? I think that we've all been in relationships — hopefully not to the degree — that have this sort of love-hate-I-need-you-but-this-isn't-right-but-I-can't-break-free-from-it. … I think there is something deliciously universal about this play.
So is this a romance?
Oh, absolutely. It's a big love story. It's a love story between George and Martha. They need and love each other. And I think that's a big project of this production — that this love is always palpable.
Not to talk about the ending too much, but do you feel like the end is optimistic?
Absolutely. Absolutely. Dawn is breaking, there are no more games being played between George and Martha. It goes from "I'm cold. It's late" to the comforting singing of the title song — and Martha answering the rhetoric of the song. I think it's a new beginning.
Theater review: 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf'

The Boston Bruins, 2-5-1 in their last 8 games, are undoubtedly in the midst of a February tailspin. Fans of the team can either call sports radio talk shows and cry out the overused and now boring, "I'm heading for the Tobin Bridge," or, take a step back and look at the broader picture of an entire NHL regular season.
The regular season starts in early October and mercilessly continues on until the following April with any team lucky to catch four days in a row off. That seemingly endless grind will surely lead to ups and down for all teams, even the superior ones.
Let's take a quick look at three random teams for the seasons following the NHL lockout.
2005 – 2006 Carolina Hurricanes: Peter Laviolette's squad encountered separate skids of 2-5-1 and 4-5-2 over the course of the regular season.
2006 – 2007 Ottawa Senators: The team got off to a 6-10-1 start and had another downturn of 2-6-0 later in the year.
2007 – 2008 Pittsburgh Penguins: Yes, even Sydney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin played on a team that started the month of November 1-6-0.
Okay, maybe these three examples aren't so random after all. Yes, they all took some lumps during the regular season but they all went on to win the Eastern Conference and play in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Sure, Bruins fans should be concerned about the team's play as of late, but it is not the time for widespread hockey panic. Even with the team in a mini-funk, they still lead the conference by seven points and have a favorable home schedule down the stretch.
I'm sure team management is cognizant that there are a few holes to fill come the March 4 trading deadline and, when those pieces are in-place, this team will once again play like the one that dominated the Eastern Conference for the first four months of the season.

Notes from Babel: 'To win a World Cup you must be at your most virtuous'
Prior to that, I had started an undergraduate thesis on sports video games and what I perceived to be tendencies towards a form of "virtual sport." Though the project didn't really go anywhere institutionally, it provided the seeds of content months later when I first became aware of this medium called a "blog." Nine years later that germ of an idea is still present, though since that time has woven through politics, aesthetics and indeed a theory of blogging itself. The embodiment of communication remains key to this day.
For me, sports are gestural languages. They each have their own rules of grammar and conventions of style for various audiences, and they each have their forms of slang, regional dialect and poetry. When we move in athletic competition we are very much speaking to one another even if we don't utter a word. Certainly this is what we are being sold on television! And so yes, in my formulation of a "sporting multitude" I am very influenced by [Michael] Hardt and Negri, and definitely Deleuze and Guattari, but more specifically I am thinking of Paolo Virno and his understanding of the virtuosity of the public speaker as central to the emergence of the multitude as political potential.
In my view, if sport is a gestural language then to be virtuous is not simply to be "the best" at any particular sport, but is also and always that attempt by anyone to become an artful public speaker of sporting gesture. This should be understood relative to one's own abilities and prior performance, and contingent upon the relations one has with the other athletes in that particular unfolding of time. To create as an athletic body, in other words, is to move towards the emergence of a sporting multitude.
PA: What is the gestural language specific to soccer? In what way do these gestural elements differ in a championship like the World Cup that gathers different nations together, rather than in a league with different professional clubs and franchises?
SS: This may sound banal, but if we are to approach this question from the phenomenon of embodiment, it is that the game is played almost entirely with the feet. For a human species whose opposable thumb is purportedly one of the central features distinguishing it from other animals, this is quite remarkable. To borrow the terms of Johan Huizinga, the modern theorist of play, it is as if Homo Ludens, or Man the Player, invented a form of gestural language—using feet, chest, head, etc.—specifically as a rejection of the hands and arms that seem to characterize our everyday being as Homo Faber, or Man the Maker.
Of course our feet and legs are also what propel us around the pitch. The game is played at such pace today that it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish differential qualities of gesture at the club level, but when you have an international competition like the World Cup one can still notice regional "dialects" of soccer, such as the Brazilian ginga.
Because gesture is embodied and volumetric it still retains a spatial or geographical quality—one's entire formative years are spent learning this regional dialect, which becomes most visibly manifest to an international audience every four years in World Cup competition. When these athletes play together as professionals during the interim, particularly in the increasingly cosmopolitan top European leagues, they are not really learning new ways of speaking with the body, but rather honing game skills, match fitness and strength. Some of the art form is lost in favour of a more technical soccer production.
It is also important to note that these histories of sporting gesture are complex and political. With Brazilian ginga, for example, the fluid means of moving about a soccer pitch emerges from a highly colonial relationship between wealthy white players and poorer black players. If any black player made contact with a white player, even if initiated by the latter, they would either be penalized or dismissed from the game and thus the development of an embodied movement style in which one could artfully carry the ball without ever touching an opponent. The particular flip of sporting Empire is that today Nike sells ginga to a worldwide audience as part of an exotic television marketing campaign.
PA: Speaking of which, it looks as if the World Cup will be the biggest global televised sporting event so far, in terms of viewers, licensing, contracts, etc. You have written about sports as screen, as televisual, as computational—how would you apply these concepts to the actual event that is the World Cup in South Africa?
