text: Through the Eyes of Lewis and Clark ~ Wild Animals of the Northwest Passage, reveals Mr. Kaczmarek's unique vision of nature and wildlife. He chronicles the pictorial history of the animals that Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery would have seen in pursuit of the Northwest Passage, through the Louisiana Territory. Lewis and Clark documented through their written journals the stories of their encounters with wild animals and their observations of herds of wild animals roaming the western United States in the beginning of the 19th century. The expedition exerts a powerful hold on the American imagination. No exploring party is more famous, no expedition leaders more recognizable.

Jacksonville Jaguars
Paul Posluszny - #51 - LB
|6' 2"/ 242 lbs.
|Butler, PA
|Penn State
|Years played
|2007, 2nd round, 2nd pick by Bills
Jaguars release DT Henderson and four others
The Jaguars announced Monday the release of four players, including two-time Pro Bowl DT John Henderson.
2010 draft choices by team: Jaguars
Here are the players who were chosen by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2010 NFL draft.
Jaguars pleased with compensation for Groves
What was Al Davis thinking? That is what we're hearing in Jacksonville, where the Jaguars acquired a fifth-round pick the day before the draft in exchange for underachieving DE Quentin Groves.
Jaguars get great value in Morrison deal
Quentin Groves was sent to Oakland on Wednesday in exchange for a fifth-round pick. Now, the Jaguars have acquired MLB Kirk Morrison and another fifth-rounder in exchange for their fourth-round pick.
Jaguars acquire LB Morrison
The Jaguars continued to bolster their defense on Saturday as they traded their fourth-round pick to the Raiders for ILB Kirk Morrison and Oakland's fifth-round pick.
Jaguars continue strengthening D-line
With only one selection on Day Two of the draft (74th overall), Gene Smith and the Jaguars continued rebuilding the defensive line, selecting their second tackle of the weekend, Louisiana Tech DT D'Anthony Smith.
Smith turns heads with Alualu pick
GM Gene Smith provided the first big surprise of Draft Day with the selection of Cal DE Tyson Alualu. When teamed with offseason acquisition Aaron Kampman and rookie Terrance Knighton, the Jaguars' defensive line should possess a tenacity that was ...
Alualu, that's who!
Eric Edholm shares his thoughts on Jaguars first-round pick Tyson Alualu. He'll make frequent posts throughout the draft, in his "Around the NFL" blog.
Raiders acquire DE Groves for fifth-round pick
The Raiders dealt a 2010 fifth-round pick to the Jaguars for DE Quentin Groves, according to reports.
Jaguars sign DE Hayward
The Jaguars announced Thursday that they have re-signed UFA DE Reggie Hayward.
Receiver not a priority for Jaguars in this year's draft
The Jaguars find themselves in an unfamiliar position as they prepare for the draft. The way we hear it, the club feels good about the WR position for the first time in years.
Jaguars' season-ticket holders not in favor of drafting Tebow
Despite Tim Tebow's rock-star status in his hometown of Jacksonville, some Jaguars fans are coming to the realization that drafting the local hero to resurrect the slumbering fan base is not the answer.
Kampman signing another step in the right direction for Jaguars
While the Jaguars still have a long way to go in fixing their defense — plenty of help is still needed on the defensive line in addition to outside linebacker and free safety — the signing of DE Aaron Kampman is a ...
Report: Jaguars sign Kampman
The Florida Times-Union reported late Saturday evening that the Jaguars agreed to terms on a contract with unrestricted free agent Aaron Kampman, a key defender for the Packers the last eight seasons.
Jaguars add ex-Charger Osgood
The Jaguars signed unrestricted free-agent WR-ST Kassim Osgood on Saturday, adding a proven special-teams player and a potential contributor to their WR corps.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have taken a step toward rebuilding their beleaguered defense by agreeing to a six-year contract with Posluszny worth $45 million, with $15 million guaranteed.||||||| The former Buffalo Bills linebacker should provide the Jaguars an upgrade in the middle of a defense that ranked near the bottom of the league in just about every category. Posluszny is expected to replace veteran Kirk Morrison, who failed to impress coaches and front office personnel during his one season in Jacksonville. Posluszny had 398 tackles in four years with the Bills despite missing several games with injuries.
The Buffalo Bills have tendered a contract to Posluszny.||||||| Posluszny, a Penn State product, completed a four-year deal and has said he's open to re-signing with the Bills.
Posluszny will miss about three weeks after the starter hurt his right knee in a season-opening loss to Miami.||||||| Providing the update after practice Monday, coach Chan Gailey didn't disclose any details of the injury, except to say tests revealed it wasn't as severe as first feared. There's a possibility Posluszny might not be back until Oct. 24, when Buffalo returns from its bye week to play at Baltimore.
Posluszny jogged off the field after hurting his right leg on the first play in the second half against Miami.||||||| Posluszny was hurt when he helped tackle Ronnie Brown along the sideline. The starter sat on the field for several minutes before eventually getting up on his own. Team trainers worked on Posluszny's right knee, before sending him to the locker room. Posluszny returned a few minutes later, but did not take the field. He then left for the locker room again and did not return.
Posluszny became the sixth Bills player - and third defensive starter - placed on injured reserve this season after the rookie second-round draft pick broke his left forearm in the second quarter of a 38-7 loss at New England on Sunday.||||||| Posluszny, who had surgery Monday, was hurt making a tackle. A two-time Bednarik Award winner as the best defensive player in the nation while at Penn State, Posluszny had a team-leading 23 tackles in Buffalo's first two games. The Bills' linebacking corps is already depleted with starter Keith Ellison (high ankle sprain) expected to miss the next two games and Coy Wire (sprained knee) out indefinitely.

Panthers QB Matt Moore, who left Sunday's loss to the Giants with a concussion, was back on the practice field on Wednesday.
It remains very possible that Moore will start Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Head coach John Fox said Moore looked "just like normall Matt" even though he said that Moore remains "day to day."
Fox often characterizes all non-season-ending injuries as being of the day-to-day fashion.
Moore suffered the concussion on a sack in the fourth quarter near his own end zone.
If Moore can't go, the Panthers would turn to Jimmy Clausen, who made his NFL debut on Sunday (0-for-2 passing) in relief of Moore.
Moore struggled in the opener, throwing three interceptions and losing a fumble.

Google Summer of Code: Student applications now open
Last week, Google unveiled the 150 mentoring organizations selected for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2009, and students can begin submitting applications now.
Recently, I spoke with Leslie Hawthorn, Program Manager for Google's Open Source Team, and I asked her about what's new for this year's Google Summer of Code. Leslie says that she's most excited about the Melange project, which will make it possible to host GSoC and other projects on the Google App Engine. She says that all but one member of the committer team is a former GSoC student or mentor.
In addition to Melange and many returning projects – including the Asterisk Project and the Django Software Foundation – look for some new GSoC projects, including Sugar Labs, the community organization behind the Sugar learning platform. The Honeynet Project and Xelerance Corporation also make their GSoC debuts this year.
To search through the project list by category, visit: http://delicious.com/gsoc2009/
The deadline for student applications is April 3, 2009 (12 noon PDT /19:00 UTC). For more information, visit the blog announcement.

Going mad...
16 October 2007 at 8:27am
Hi All,
I have been trying to install SS on my PC at home for what seems like years now, I am using Uniform Server as I find it the best WAMP out there. Now I just cant get SS to install, like everyone else I get permission errors after the installer is done installing the tables in the DB. Now I have been using systems like Wordpress and Drupal for ages and I have never ever had any problems with permissions... I have set the windows permissions as well and all is ok but still cant install it.
I really want to use SS and use it for my clients but at the moment I think I will leave it for the moment. Shame as its such as fantastic piece of kit!
If someone has some idea how I can get this to work with my current setup (dont want to install lighthttp!!) then that would be much appreciated!
Best regards,

as I find it the best WAMP out there
maybe try the standard WAMP package - http://www.wampserver.com/en/ that would have to be our favourite package (for those on win) and it works which is handy.
I'll download a copy of uniform tonight and see if I have any issues and if I stumble upon a fix ill let you know
Re: Going mad...
16 October 2007 at 8:25pm
Thanks allot willr! I will install it if I still cant get SS to work on Uniform Server, but I think its worth having a look at how SS works on Uniform since you are a developer and there are allot of Uniform server users outs there.
Please let me know if you have any news?
Thanks again and keep up the good work!!

for any helpful answers, we need a bit more info here:
- what kind of "permission errors" do you experience? apache? php? mysql?
- can you post your apache/php-configuration? (http://pastie.caboo.se is handy for this, please make sure not to include any passwords)

Hi ingo,
Sorry should have said what my config is, but this is the main errors I get when I try to install SS on both WAMP and Uniform Server:
Is the .htaccess file writeable?
Unable to detect whether I can write to files.
Please ensure C:/www/cms/.htaccess is writable.
Is the mysite/ folder writeable?
Unable to detect whether I can write to files.
Please ensure C:/www/cms/mysite is writable.
Is the tutorial/ folder writeable?
Unable to detect whether I can write to files.
Please ensure C:/www/cms/tutorial is writable.
Is the assets/ folder writeable?
Unable to detect whether I can write to files.
Please ensure C:/www/cms/assets is writable.
And I get the same error when I use Uniform Server, its the CHMOD that I and most people on Windows cant get around.
Hope this helps
Thanks Guys!!!

You mention "Unable to detect whether I can write to files." which is a warning more than an error. Is the install button greyed out, or if it does let you click install, does it then fail?
It may be you can tell the installer not to be concerned, and install anyway, if the webserver can in fact write to these locations.
Re: Going mad...
20 October 2007 at 8:45am
Hi Sigurd,
I tried to go ahead with the install and it gave me a warning saying that I dont have permissions to write to the rewritetest.php file.
Any help?

Could you paste in the message?
Have a go at commenting out/bypassing the warnings, and let us know if the thing actually works. I.e. to work out if the installer is just being overly cautious, or correct.
Ultimately, all the installer is doing is writing a few lines to /.htaccess and /mysite/_config.php. You can hand-write these changes, and side step the "installation" altogether.

Athletics outfielder Coco Crisp is off to a slow start this season, hitting just .194/.260/.209 with just one extra-base hit (a double) in 18 games.
Now we know why, or at least a pretty good idea as to why. Susan Slusser:
Coco Crisp is likely to be placed on the disabled list Friday after lingering inner-ear and sinus infections. Outfielder Michael Taylor said by text that he was en route to join the A's at Tampa Bay. Taylor also flew to Baltimore last week to be on emergency standby for Crisp, but this time the former Stanford player is expected to be added to Oakland's roster.
Inner-ear infections are tricky; Crisp will surely be placed on antibiotics, but it's anyone's guess how long this will take to clear up and he can play effectively again.
Taylor is 26 and played in 11 games for the A's last September, going 6-for-30. He's off to an excellent start at Triple-A Sacramento, hitting .347/.390/.547 with 13 doubles and 18 RBI in 95 at-bats.
For more on Crisp and the A's, please visit Athletics Nation and SB Nation Bay Area.

As Wes Miller, an analyst with Directions on Microsoft, noted in an interview last week, few enterprises are wholly adopting Office 365's new payment structure. Instead, the bulk of companies are -- and will for some time -- rely on a hybrid approach where they purchase most Office licenses outright and subscribe to Office 365 for the remainder.
Nor does the $1 billion annual revenue from Office 365 account for a significant portion of MBD sales.
Over the last four quarters -- from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013 -- MBD revenue was $23.8 billion. Using that number, $1 billion from Office 365 would represent 4.2 percent of the total.
Still, Klein highlighted Microsoft's hopes for Office 365, even as he warned Wall Street analysts it would impact revenue in the short term.
"We expect to grow our customer base, increase customer satisfaction via continuous updates, and reduce piracy," said Klein, who added that as time goes on, Microsoft's costs for supporting the subscription services would decline. "We expect our transactional customers to increasingly transition to the cloud with Office 365."
However, that will affect the bottom line, at least in the short term, he acknowledged.
Rather than book the revenue when the subscription is sold -- as it currently does with perpetual licenses -- Microsoft will defer part of the revenue until successive quarters.
"In the short term, you'll be deferring revenues that were not in a subscription, and would have been recognized immediately," Klein told the analysts. "And as the subscription business is growing, you'll see that impact growing, but over time, what you'll get is what looks like an annuity revenue stream that's more predictable."
In other words, if perpetual-license customers switch to Office 365, per-quarter revenue will decline. Total revenue over the life of a subscription will increase, Klein said, driven by "higher customer satisfaction and probably higher retention rates going forward."
But MBD revenue is still tied to Windows, and in some cases, to PC sales.
Microsoft has thus far declined to offer Office for non-Windows tablets, which make up the vast bulk of the market. Some analysts have criticized the company for what they see as a short-sighted strategy to use Office to promote sales of Windows tablets, PC-to-tablet convertible devices and hybrids, such as the Surface Pro.
Microsoft did not mention any plan to bring Office to competing mobile operating systems such as Apple's iOS and Google's Android.
Office sales to consumers and small businesses, who purchase Office on a per-copy basis -- Microsoft calls that "transactional" -- were down last quarter, Microsoft said, because of the decline in PC sales. IDC pegged the contraction at 14 percent year-over-year, while rival research firm Gartner said it was a slightly-less-severe 11 percent drop.
For the first quarter, Office revenue derived from consumers was "roughly in line with the consumer PC market," said Suh, meaning that it was down by double digits from the year before.
The same is expected this quarter, Klein added. "Transactional revenue, which is the remaining 40 percent of the division total, should be in line with the x86 PC market," he said, referring to the quarter that ends June 30, also the end of Microsoft's fiscal year 2013.
MBD accounted for 31 percent of Microsoft's total revenue for the quarter, the most by any single division. Its operating income, or pre-tax profit, of $4.1 billion was also the most of any division, and was up 8 percent from the same period the year before.

$11,051.25 raised
Josh says:
On October 5th - 7th, 2012, I will complete a 8.5 mile pilgrimage around South India's sacred Arunachala mountain -- doing sun salutations the entire way -- in order to raise funds and provide clean water for impoverished people in India. This pilgrimage will require close to 30 hours of effort, more than 3,000 sun salutes.
In this way, I hope to engage the yoga community and to offer something back to the country whose traditions have given me so much.
This campaign is part of a larger effort of mine to raise $108,000 in funds over the next two years for water.org
I invite you join me on this journey of transformation.
Here's how:
1) Donate to the cause
2) If you are a yoga teacher or studio owner, host your own 'Sun Salutes for Clean Water' drive, leading back to this page
3) Share this page with all your friends and contacts
4) create your own campaign at give.water.org and link back to this one!

Ministry's official told Darwen council chiefs it was in South
4:36pm Thursday 6th February 2014 in News
COUNCIL chiefs in Darwen were left baffled after being told by the Government their local county association was in Bedfordshire.
Darwen Town Council had written to Communities and Local Government Secretary Eric Pickles asking permission to borrow money to buy the former HSBC bank as part of plans to launch a Darwen Heritage Centre.
But bemused council clerk Rebecca Hay received an email from the department advising her to contact the Bedfordshire Association of Local Councils.
An email from Midi Zeroual, who works for the department headed by Conservative minister Eric Pickles, said: "Your first step should be to contact your local county association (in your case Beds) affiliated to the National Association of Local Councils (NALC).
"Beds ALC will give you the guidance and the application form for borrowing approval that you need to complete."
Blackburn with Darwen Council leader Kate Hollern said: "It is disappointing to say the least that our own local government minister thinks Darwen is in Bedfordshire."

Having said that, I would not correct them for a while. If they think Darwen is in the South, then Darwen can expect a nice juicy fat cheque in the post, rather than a demand for cuts.

Supporters of casino expansion in Michigan are moving ahead with efforts to put the issue before voters this November.
A pair of measures that would strengthen collective bargaining rights took a small step today toward being on the November ballot.
A union-led effort to amend the Michigan Constitution to guarantee labor bargaining rights will go before a state elections panel. The Protect Our Jobs campaign will ask the Board of State Canvassers to pre-approve its petition to get on the November ballot.
A rally was scheduled for Monday night to protest the Michigan Republican Party's decision to award both of the state's at-large national convention delegates to Mitt Romney.
The Michigan primary was almost a week ago, but the Rick Santorum campaign continues to dispute the results. The fight with the state GOP is over the apportionment of two statewide delegates to the Republican National Convention.
Rick Santorum's presidential campaign has formally asked the Republican National Committee to investigate the actions of Michigan GOP leaders following Tuesday's presidential primary.
Mitt Romney wins the Michigan Republican Primary, and the panel breaks down the results. The guest is Gary Glenn, GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate.VIEW IT ONLINE NOW
Presidential hopeful Rick Santorum lost the popular vote to Mitt Romney by a slim margin in the Michigan Republican primary. But it appears Santorum's in line to pick up about half the state's national convention delegates.
Mitt Romney says his victory in Michigan's Republican presidential primary is particularly special to him because he was born and raised in the state. Romney won by a slim margin over his chief opponent Rick Santorum.
Former Massachusetts governor and Michigan native Mitt Romney has won the Michigan primary, edging out rival GOP hopeful Rick Santorum.
At 11 p.m. Tuesday, with 87 percent of the statewide vote counted, Romney carried 41 percent of the vote to Santorum's 37 percent.
Romney's win in Michigan and Arizona propels his campaign towards Super Tuesday on March 6. Ten states and more than 400 delegates will be up for grabs.
There are 30 Republican national convention delegates up for grabs in today's primary. But today's vote is about more than just delegates.
Rick Santorum is making his final campaign stops across southern Michigan before the state's Republican primary.
About 2,500 people, mostly students, gathered on the Michigan State University campus Monday to hear presidential candidate Ron Paul.
When they go to the polls Tuesday, some voters in Michigan may be uncomfortable with new state rules for presidential primaries.
Republican candidate for president Mitt Romney received a warm reception from the Detroit Economic Club Friday.
Next Tuesday, voters in the East Lansing School District will be asked to decide whether to borrow $53 million to pay for the reconstruction of five elementary schools and a new wing for the middle school.
Republican candidate for president Mitt Romney is campaigning in Michigan all week, with a brief trip to Arizona for a televised debate with his Republican rivals.
State Representative Barb Byrum (D-Onondaga) is announcing her candidacy for Ingham County Clerk.
Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney returns to Michigan on Tuesday to campaign in Macomb County. Rick Santorum spent much of Monday courting voters at three stops in west Michigan –before heading to Arizona, which also has a primary in one week.
Former Massachusetts First Lady Ann Romney was in Jackson Monday night to urge local Republicans to vote for her husband Mitt next Tuesday.
Republican candidates for president Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney have a few campaign stops planned in Michigan this week, with the GOP primary just over a week away.

The Hawkeyes have shaken up their coaching staff, but with major question marks on the defensive line and the cursed running back position, is this the bounce-back season for Iowa?

Matt Lewis Talks Neville Longbottom: "Seeing Neville Become a Fighter Was Great"Lewis
June 22, 2011, 09:11 PM
In a new interview with Parade Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) about a variety of topics, but mostly his feelings on playing Neville Longbottom for the past ten years. Lewis recalls his audition for the character:
"It was at the Queens Hotel in Leeds, which is where I live. I was a huge fan of the books, so I asked my mom if we could go down to the audition. We were in line for about four or five hours and we were given a raffle number. I remember I was number 463. We just had to wait and wait and eventually we got in and I had to read a paragraph from the book, which was the paragraph where Harry is talking about the dragon egg from the first film. So I read that and left and that was it. It was two months before we heard anything. We pretty much said, 'Well, maybe next year we'll try out for film two,' but we got a call asking if I wanted to come meet Chris Columbus, the director, and it just moved really quickly after that. I can't really explain how I felt. It was just amazing."
Lewis also discusses how Neville Longbottom has changed over the course of the films:
"In the earlier films, I had a fat suit on, which was not very enjoyable. I also had bits of plastic behind my ears so they would stick out, and there were false teeth as well. But as Neville got a bit older, we started slowly making him a bit cooler, not totally cool, but a bit cooler. In the last film, Neville's got no fat suit, no false teeth, no plastic behind his ears, but I was still in hair and makeup for a long time because there's lots of blood and cuts and bruises. I think the first time we put all the blood and stuff on, I was in hair and makeup for about two hours."

Ayodele: Gore 'traditional power runner'
By Post Staff
The jury is still out on whether or not Coral Gables native Frank Gore will suit up for the 49ers against the Dolphins Sunday due to an ankle injury. But the Dolphins are figuring he'll play, and linebacker Akin Ayodele is figuring he'll be a focal point of the San Francisco offense.
The University of Miami product is having a solid fourth NFL season, ranking eighth in NFC rushing with 978 yards on 229 carries, a 4.3 average. He's also second on the team in receptions (behind Isaac Bruce) with 42 for 367 yards. He has eight touchdowns, six rushing and two receiving.
His 1,345 total yards from scrimmage accounts for 33.4 percent of the Niners' offense. Going into this week's games, that's third in the NFL behind Chicago's Matt Forte (36.8 percent) and Minnesota's Adrian Peterson (36.1).
Ayodele: "He probably lacks speed, but he's very strong, a traditional power runner. Runs downhill. A between-the-tackles guy. But he runs those plays exceptionally well. You're going to need more than one guy to tackle him. You watch tape and see him run through tackles. You try to tackle him low and he runs through it. His line does a good job creating holes for him."
Gore suffered the ankle injury in last week's win over the Jets, when he had only 14 carries for 52 yards. He was limited in practice this week and was officially listed as questionable on Friday's injury report.

By Nancy R. Elliott The Herald Bulletin
The Herald Bulletin
---- — ANDERSON – The creative muse came into poet Stacy Savage's life in response to a cataclysmic event. Savage's first poem emerged at age 24, in 1999. That was the year that Savage lost her sister, who died following a car accident at the age of 22, pregnant with her third child.
That first poem, "From An Eagle's View," remains Savage's most popular poem. She continues to receive requests for its use in different venues. Savage has been writing poetry ever since.
"I am a shy and quiet person. If you didn't know me and just read my poetry, you wouldn't get that impression. Poetry is an outlet for me to express myself in ways I can't around others. I can just pour my heart out through poetry," said Savage. She describes herself as a "rhymer."
Like "From An Eagle's View," all of Savage's poetry has celebrated nature, until recently.
"I used to write about nature, now it's more about love," said Savage. She's been married to her husband, Phil, for two and a half years. Savage said that he is also a poet. "We write each other poems all the time." Savage works as a child care supervisor in Anderson. She is mom to two kids, 19 and 17 years old.
Savage's literary path includes reading poetry. Her favorite is Indiana's own James Whitcomb Riley.
"I'm inspired by him and he was also a rhymer," said Savage. "I can understand his words."
Savage frequently sponsors poetry contests and produces books, inspiring others to craft words creatively for higher purposes.
"I believe in mixing poetry and good causes together. I'm constantly having poetry contests to benefit a good cause or to raise awareness for something," said Savage. Watch for her next contest coming up in about a month to bring awareness for Ancestor Appreciation Day, which is Sept. 27. Keep track of Savage and her contests at www.authorsden.com/stacysavage.
Another route to poetry
Kathy Gerstorff has been writing most of her life, since she was a teen. Gerstorff suffered an abusive childhood until at age 14 she went to live with her aunt and uncle. She recalls that as a child in the '70s, resources were severely lacking to help her. At one point, she was locked up in a juvenile detention center with the objective of protecting her from her abusive stepfather.
She recalls having to take a lie detector test, and the awful necessity of having to tell her story over and over again to different authorities.
"We've come a long way since then," said Gerstorff. Still, Gerstorff said there were a couple of places in the community back during those difficult days that helped her, and that has inspired her.
"I wanted to give back," Gerstorff said. "As an adult, I wanted to help in my own unique way." That has thus far taken the form of her cause-related poetry, published in two books, benefiting child abuse prevention and awareness.
Gerstorff's creative genes may have come from her grandmother. "I would always see my grandmother with a notebook in her hands. I would wonder what she was writing about," said Gerstorff. She laments that her grandmother's writings were never found.
Nevertheless, said Gerstorff, "I love the idea of leaving a legacy for my grandchildren."
Married for 32 years to husband Earl, Gerstorff has two kids, and three grandkids.
That legacy would include Gerstorff's passions – her love of nature and of life, and enjoying the simple things.
Gerstorff is launching a bookstore in the Centrum Mall in Marion on July 13. The Optimist Store will focus on personal development, including topics like motivation and inspiration.
"I've always been into personal development, a way to help me through my issues. I've always studied that." Now, she plans to share it with others.
Keep track of Gerstorff at www.kathygerstorff.com or on Facebook and Twitter.

The (Blue) Dog Days of Summer
Fifteen years later, Shuler is still D.C.'s biggest choke artist
Summer has come late to the Chesapeake Bay this year. After being held off by a steady stream of both passing and persistent thunderstorms, higher temperatures are finally asserting a claim on a season rightfully their own, and in doing so bringing the ambitions of the city's denizens back down to earth.
Arriving with the heat is the headache of health care reform, the centerpiece of which is a public insurance plan. Most, if not all, Republicans are against the idea because of its projected cost—estimated at between $1 and $1.6 trillion—and intrusion into the private insurance business. Meanwhile, President Obama and many Democrats say it's the only way to ensure fair play in a market notorious for refusing customers or denying them what they paid for. That this debate can be had at all is worth noting. For much of the year the storms on Wall Street drowned out people's reservations about spending, deficits, and the debt—and few could sustain them as politicians, academics, and voices in the media put forth metaphors of homes on fire and patients in cardiac arrest to describe the pressing need for immediate and decisive action.
But as the economy shows signs of gaining traction, slender and tenuous though they may be, the health care debate signals a shift from concern with the short term to anxiety for the long. And as politicians, businesses, and interests align around the issue, it's becoming clearer who holds the cards for Obama's domestic agenda.
The name Heath Shuler probably strikes a chord. (Whether that chord is harmonious or dissonant likely depends on your memory.) A standout quarterback at the University of Tennessee in the early 1990s and later a fixture in the Knoxville real-estate scene, Shuler is now serving his second term as a Democratic representative from North Carolina's 11th district, just on the other side of the Smokies, where he grew up.
Shuler knows Washington. He served here more than a decade ago as the Redskins' quarterback after being chosen third in the 1994 NFL draft. For that job he's not particularly liked—he held out for a nearly $20 million contract before he would show up for training camp, and then once on the field never delivered what his college career portended. He was eventually traded away and suffered a series of injuries before retiring at the ripe old age of 26.
President Clinton later joked that he appreciated Shuler taking some of the heat off him in the city's second-most scrutinized role.
But in his latest showing in D.C., Shuler's making more friends. He's earned a leadership position as the whip, or vote counter, to a centrist coalition within the Democratic party known as the "Blue Dogs," which is proving to be an influential contingent.
The Blue Dogs originated in the mid- 1990s, partly as a strategy for peeling off votes from the slim Republican majority. They take their name from Cajun paintings that featured blue dogs and hung in the offices of two Louisiana representatives, where the founders would often meet.
Some members, including John Tanner, a Blue Dog serving Tennessee's 8th district, claim a linkage to the yellow dogs, those Southern Democratic loyalists who after the Civil War said they would vote for a mangy, yellowed dog before a Republican. The yellow dogs were "choked blue" by the extremes of both parties, the story goes, and this has the benefit of highlighting the group's moderate platform,
Today about 20 of the 52 Blue Dogs hail from the South, and four of Tennessee's five Democrats belong to the club. Many are social conservatives by national standards but social moderates by local standards. What unites them above all else is fiscal conservatism. In particular, they adhere to a notion that any new tax cut or entitlement spending be offset with cuts to other programs or tax increases, known as pay-as-you-go, or Paygo.
Paygo dates back to George H.W. Bush and the last period of high deficits in the early 1990s. The tax increase it mandated essentially cost Bush his re-election, but it also helped pave the way to the fiscal surplus enjoyed in the latter part of the decade. Such is the perversion of political incentives.
George W. Bush learned from his father's experience. In 2002 Paygo died a quiet death in the GOP-controlled House, leaving him to pass the insanely expensive Medicare prescription drug plan. This shored up support from vote-happy seniors which he desperately needed in 2004.
But now it's back. In June, President Obama called upon Congress to once again adopt Paygo, and shortly thereafter the House introduced legislation to do just that. This signals that Obama knows that Blue Dogs' opposition could kill his domestic agenda.
Last week the House passed landmark climate legislation by a vote of 219 to 212, with 44 Democrats and eight Republicans defecting to the opposite side. The Blue Dogs split fairly evenly; had they mobilized against it, the bill would have failed. Shuler said he voted for it "because it is consistent with two of my highest priorities, protecting God's creation and reducing our national debt"—a nice insight into the Blue Dog psyche.
Health care will likely be harder. Blue Dogs oppose a public option unless it is budget neutral, making it more politically thorny. There are compromises being whipped up, such as a grace period that would allow private insurance companies time to shape up before triggering a public plan.
Knowing who's holding the cards helps. Health care is a ticking time bomb sewn into the fabric of America's future. As we celebrate the nation's independence and what it cost, it's appropriate to consider what sacrifices must be made to regain the nation's financial freedom.

Well, all persons, here women, should be by now fully aware that the have nots seek more from the haves, supposedly. All the while many ethnic leaders cry racism, or failed economic times for the disenfranchised.
Total crap!! When did people who were civically instilled, morally taught reach these stages?
Work? Why?
When everything is provided by those who do!!
The bleeding hearts rush to defend those poor failed persons.
Oh Hells bells, when did one have to steal, rob, assault, or just plain take anything to learn simple human courtesy, honesty, proper ethical behavior when it has never been there in their background. Blame the more fortunate for the lack of any good manners, work habits, simple basic human manners?
As Al Sharpton publically stated on his TV program, Romney baited the NAACP convention attendees into booing Romney by referring to the Obamacare. As if the health care program came from Senator Reid maybe?
Always find the other guy for one's own failures!!!!
To end: be prepared, be alert, tune into your environment before the less fortunate through their own doing find YOU for their instant welfare gains.

Quite frankly, your comment makes no sense.

Frankly, I blame Rupert Murdoch for frankly's muddle-headed comment.
on Jul 13, 2012 at 9:25 am
Fankly, you make perfect sense! When you "feed the bears" they get used to it and want more! They even believe they deserve it! When the don't get what they want, they TAKE! DO NOT FEED THE BEARS!

Come up to speed, ladies.
"Frankly's" commentary was his(?)frustration over those bereft of moral decency are often excused by racial activists and leaders.
It is a sad commentary on our society when Trayvon Martin types perpetrate violent crimes on victims and then are considered victims by those defending themselves.
I unwittingly have been a victim to several physical attacks during the past 20 years. Defending myself in those circumstances would have been life threatening.

I agree with frankly, melen and Concerned! I'm very frustrated with all the racial inuendos! All they have to do is cry "Racial" and they get what they want! They have black schools, black beauty contests, all black award shows on television, and so on! What if "whities", as they call us, did that? We would be boiled in oil! Obama said: "If I had a son he would look just like Travon"!! How racist and frankly dumb sounding is that coming from the Prsident of the United States??!!! Reagan or Bush would NEVER have said anything as stupid as that! We have the most inept, free spending, wasteful president in the history of this country....and I have seen alot of presidents come and go in my 70yrs! Carter was pretty bad too! The Democrats want to tax and spend and that's all they ever do! We make the money and they find ways to waste it! They don't care because they are all getting their nice free fancy retirement plans; (not social security, and their nice free fancy health care plans; (not Obamacare that gives all the illegals free healthcare on our money so the Dems can get their votes)! Vote them out in November! We need to free the Senate and House of this blight on Americans! They are throwing our money away for power and greed! Get wise Americans!
on Jul 13, 2012 at 5:56 pm
Well I didn't wantbto say black but
If one goes to check one sees that black population is 13% of total US population ONLY
There is no country ,no era, no century when an ethnic group hasn't had bad times.
Plus just because one group is only 13% doesnt mean the rest must turn more to the 13%¥

Such ugly sentiments.

Amen Citizen Paine.
on Jul 14, 2012 at 3:45 pm
Of course, let's lump all with dark skin in to the category of "have nots" that are clearly after the "haves" of the light skin folks. But wait - my neighbor drives a white honda! Maybe everyone who drives a white honda is after my cheetos! I had better arm myself, and soon! In fact, I think I saw a 15 year old outside my house just this morning - can't trust those 15 year olds either!
....and, amen again, Citizen Paine. What a shame.

With California and the US becoming more and more a multi-racial society, the misguided, ill-informed, and clearly prejudiced views of some of the commenters above will (hopefully) become so irrelevant and out-dated that we will no longer have to listen to them. They will go the way of the dinosaurs. The racial polarization that they promote is already rejected by most young people.

Spring arrives with the first warm breezes and fogless mornings in our Valley. On our 80-acre organic farm south of Fresno, I disk our soil, breaking winter's crust. The peaches and nectarines awaken with blossoms, initially revealing their pink buds, then blooming into a glorious canopy. Millions of pink dots blanket the landscape. A new year has begun.
But harsh memories of a cold, bitter winter linger because it rarely rained. Welcome to a new climate age; massive swings in weather have become the rule.
Every spring, I plow the earth and something is plowed into me. Usually it's the spirit of the land, a sense of renewal, a bonding of family with the earth and now it includes our daughter who has come back home to work the farm.
But this year that something is a new realization: Change, especially with the weather, is the new normal.
The lack of rain troubles me the most. We'll get very little surface water due to a limited snowpack in the Sierra. I can pump from my wells, but water tables will quickly drop; wells can go dry. Most of the Central Valley has received less than half of normal rainfall. This may change with a late March miracle, but long-range forecasts are not optimistic.
Of course, what is normal? Typical weather models are based on 30-year increments, counted by decades. So if you were born in the 1960s or earlier, your weather memories don't count. (Lending credence to my claim, that as I get older, the weather just isn't what it used to be.)
Droughts are common, occurring in 1976-77, 1987-92 and recently in 2007-09. We farmers live with risk; a lack of rain has been fairly common in the last century. Old-timers remember the Great Depression, including California's decade-long drought from 1928-37.
But we have been spoiled we're ending a century of abnormally consistent weather years. We developed farming systems built on a culture of expectation. When considering much longer timelines, the relatively wet periods in the 20th century have been the exception rather than the rule in California. Our few dry years have typically been followed by extremely wet seasons.
We're entering a new "weirding time." Much more volatility is to be expected, with extremes in weather part of the new norm. There's still debate concerning how much is a direct result from global warming, but it's clear: something is changing.
This past year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture updated its climate zone guide. Nationwide, a warming trend has advanced northward. Planting guides suggest gardeners can experiment with new plants typically grown in warmer regions. That doesn't mean I'll plant bananas and pineapples on my farm. It may simply mean spring comes sooner and lasts longer with more erratic weather.
I know change comes slow to a farm and farmers. But I do recognize a few years of severe drought demands immediate actions.
In San Diego, some farmers are stumping their avocado trees, cutting them in half to save water; they lose a few years of crop but try to keep their investment alive. Other farmers are switching from lower value row crops, like vegetables and other annuals, to higher value tree crops, hoping to earn more from their limited supply of water. These farmers will quickly learn a new reality: perennial crops mean they can't be uprooted and transplanted; you plant with a future expectation.
Even on our small farm, we've begun a gradual process of change. One of the best acts I did years ago was to fallow 15 acres, much to the chagrin of my father. He grew up with the premise you farm every precious acre you had.
I rationalized: why fight these swings of weather, not to mention poor prices (for raisins a decade ago)? With a new pioneer spirit, I pulled out old vines and, among other benefits, created a new avenue that splits the farm. What a joy every spring as I rediscover the new short-cut on the farm. Who wouldn't jump at such an opportunity in life?
Major shifts in weather point to a new challenge: Survival in agriculture will be based on the ability to change. I can imagine a two-tier strategy. One is based on the very large model: economies of scale benefiting the largest and most efficient operations. The other works for us small operators who are adept at the culture of change; we easily accept, adapt and adopt, finding our niche in the new food chain.
What I'm not so confident about is policy and technology. We don't have policies in place that are equipped to cope with the new normal. For example, we are still fighting over water as if we're clans locked in tribal warfare. We cling to a myopic sense of time: What happens when we have a 30-year drought?
Also, many believe that we can invent our way out of problems. Technology has created miracles; productivity increased, labor-saving machines introduced and are now part of the landscape. But efficiencies can only reach a certain level before there's a decline on a return of investment. Have we begun to max out technological benefits?
I'm an optimist who has faith in a new creative human spirit that will foster hope on the farm. I believe in the art of farming. Great farmers will balance the forces of economics and productivity with the forces of nature, we will respond to weather as opposed to the fallacy of controlling nature. I don't seek solutions, thinking I have all the answers. Farming in the future is more like a mystery to live; I accept that I won't (and can't) farm the same way every year.
Recently, farm timelines have changed for me. Our daughter, Nikiko, has returned home after college and graduate school, and is taking over the farm. I watch her struggle with learning curves and witness her response to new challenges. I also bite my tongue, knowing my way of doing things may not fit this new age of agriculture.
She's better equipped to handle change: She doesn't expect to, nor want to, do it all my way. She's young. She's naive. She's full of enthusiasm. All that's exactly required for future springs.
But perhaps this isn't much different from when I came back to farm after running away for college. Or when my father took a huge risk following World War II and the tragic uprooting and evacuation of Japanese Americans from the West Coast. He returned to the Valley, gambled and bought a farm, and planted family roots.
Likewise, is this any more dramatic than my grandparents who left Japan, sailed across an ocean to farm and work in a new, very foreign land? They struggled but stayed a shared story by many whose ancestors who came to California from other places.
Spring does this to me: I think a lot about what is and what is to be. At the same time, plowing the earth is an ancient rite, a renewal of the past, a ritual others have done for centuries and hopefully will do for many more. Like many, I'm reborn every spring.

People use "hate" very flippantly.
Depression is a medical condition. Gloomy is being in a somber or cheerless mood. They are not, or rather should not be interchangeable.

Overseeing the symposium was Troy Vincent, a former cornerback who suffered at least seven concussions during his career from 1992 to 2006. Named the NFL's vice president of player engagement in 2010, part of Vincent's job portfolio is to alter the play-through-pain culture that pervades the league. When Vincent was a rookie, there was no such thing as a symposium; all he got by way of orientation to the NFL was a 12-page pamphlet.
"You didn't talk about health and safety at that time," he said. "There was no conversation around concussion awareness. The term 'wellness' wasn't in most people's vocabulary. You just played the game."
Kyle will receive a 60-page handbook, both in hard copy and in electronic form for his mobile devices. Once the regular season starts, he also will get text messages as reminders of best practices. "We're looking ourselves in the mirror," Vincent said. "We don't shy away from mistakes, things that we didn't do well. We are constantly evaluating ourselves."
Day 2 of the rookie symposium was devoted entirely to health and safety. The head team physician for the Cleveland Browns, Mark Schickendantz, fired up a PowerPoint presentation and began talking. A series of slides flashed bold-letter slogans such as, "If we don't know you're hurt, we can't help you!"
Schickendantz devoted a few minutes to Toradol, a powerful anti-inflammatory abused by league doctors and players as an injected prophylactic in recent years and has become the subject of a concussion-related litigation. "We don't do that anymore," he said.
Schickendantz moved on to his next topic: concussions. "It's never an insignificant injury. . . . Don't hide it," he said. "It's not in your best interest to hide it." New protocols include certified athletic trainers in stadium booths watching for symptoms and video replay on the sidelines to study the mechanics of injury. In 2013, there will be the addition of an independent neurological specialist stationed on each sideline, a move some team medical staffs are welcoming more than others. "It's not mandatory that you guys go sit with this guy and talk to him if there's a question about a concussion," Schickendantz said. He added, "We're still kind of figuring out how to use these people."

Its overall score is 2.8 points higher than last year, with improvements in six of the 10 economic freedoms including management of public finance, investment freedom, and property rights. Georgia is ranked 11th out of 43 countries in the Europe region, and its score is the most improved in the 2013 Index.In a challenging global and regional environment, the Georgian economy has demonstrated a high level of resilience. After some backsliding last year, Georgia regained the status of "mostly free" in the 2013 Index. Persistent efforts to eliminate corruption and restore fiscal stability have borne fruit. Access to legal documents has been facilitated, and fiscal consolidation has generated narrowing budget deficits and lower public debt.Despite this progress, however, momentum for comprehensive reforms to limit government spending and restrict the growth of economic regulations has flagged. Deeper institutional reforms to enhance judicial independence and effectiveness also remain critical. Read more about Georgia Economy. Close Background President Mikheil Saakashvili and his center-right United National Movement won presidential and parliamentary elections in 2004 and 2008. However, billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili and his Georgian Dream coalition decisively won parliamentary elections in late 2012, paving the way for Ivanishvili to become prime minister. Georgia is a leading economic reformer among the post-Soviet countries and has been particularly effective in fighting corruption. Russia's continued military occupation of the Georgian provinces of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and recognition of their secession violates Georgia's territorial integrity. Georgia left the Commonwealth of Independent States in August 2009. Relations with Russia remain difficult, but Georgia's government has taken unilateral steps to improve ties. The economic recovery that began in 2010 continues, with an emphasis on tourism and construction. Rule of LawView Methodology Property Rights 45.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Freedom From Corruption 41.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Fighting the effects of Soviet-era corruption, the government has arrested former officials and policemen, radically downsized bureaucracies, and cracked down on smuggling. Several new "Public Service Halls" quickly deliver inexpensive legal documents such as birth certificates, passports, and property titles. Other efforts are underway to improve the security of property rights, though protection of intellectual property rights is largely ineffective. Limited GovernmentView Methodology Government Spending 68.9 Create a Graph using this measurement Fiscal Freedom 88.2 Create a Graph using this measurement The flat income tax rate is 20 percent, and the flat corporate tax rate is 15 percent. Other taxes include a value-added tax (VAT) and a tax on dividends. The overall tax burden equals 23.5 percent of total domestic income. Government spending has fallen to 32.2 percent of total domestic output. The budget balance has been in deficit, but public debt remains below 35 percent of GDP. Budget management has helped to stabilize the fiscal situation since the 2008 war. Regulatory EfficiencyView Methodology Business Freedom 90.6 Create a Graph using this measurement Labor Freedom 91.1 Create a Graph using this measurement Monetary Freedom 72.6 Create a Graph using this measurement The competitive regulatory framework is conducive to entrepreneurial activity. It takes only two procedures and two days to launch a business, and no minimum capital is required. Reform of bankruptcy and licensing requirements has slowed. The non-salary cost of hiring a worker is moderate, and regulations on work hours are flexible. Inflation has decelerated.
