ANTICLIMACTIC BREAKING NEWS: Lance Armstrong tells Oprah Winfrey he took performance-enhancing drugs. via @AP—
Josue Pierre (@CitizenPierre) January 18, 2013
Where do they find these scoops! Tweets are limited to 140 characters, so the Associated Press simply didn't have room for the full disclaimer. That Lance Armstrong took performance-enhancing drugs might be considered breaking news if you just awakened from a coma.

I Love A 3-Day Weekend!
Steve and I watched a whole lotta this…. (the premier was really sad, we decided we should NOT have 8 kids).
And ate a whole lotta this….
But the best part of a 3-day weekend is that after only one day back at the office, we're just 3 more days away from the weekend! Now for the portion of the show where I brag about the glory that is my Summer schedule. You see working at a private school has it's perks, I have every Monday in June off. So my life is now one big 3-day weekend fest. You're jealous. Admit it.

The city of Austin is prepared to buy more than one hundred homes in the flood plain along Onion Creek, the same area that saw devastating damage during last month's record flash floods.
Lillie Flores lost almost everything in the Halloween floods.
"They drowned. My little Dachshund, Candy and the cat, Angel. This is the heartbreak," said Flores.
The place she called home for more than two decades is now just a shell.
"This is the living room where we spent Christmas."
I asked, "Where would your tree go?"
Flores answered, "I would put it here in this corner or I would move it over here."
The city and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have been working on a buyout project for the Onion Creek area since 1999 because of flooding. Recently, the city of Austin announced they would buy out 115 homes damaged in the floods.
Flores said, "Two houses over to my right, and further down the street toward William Cannon, the house is across the street, are all in the buyout, yet I am not."
City reps say the buyouts are based on how deeply homes flooded.
"We had pretty much the same extent of damage," said Lillie's neighbor, Lauren Cortez. "Code compliance, when they came through, didn't even step inside her house, evaluated and assessed it from the outside, gave her a red tag. Code compliance came in here...walked right out, gave us a yellow tag."
The county is also offering a buyout program, for anyone living outside the city limits. What they can't offer Onion Creek residents is money or an exact time frame.
Melinda Mallia, a Travis County Environmental Project Manager, said, "I could give a wild time line guess, if I had money, but without money in place, it's even harder to predict."
They're taking applications to present to Commissioner's Court, in the hope of buying out these people's homes.
Mallia said, "We will also use it to apply for new grants and that would also be through the Commissioners Court."
Representatives are asking residents to hold on, whether they live within the city limits or out in the county.
The county is in the process of buying 27 homers in the Timber Creek neighborhood, with leftover 2011 bond money. City reps say at this point, it would take a federal disaster declaration or federal funding of the corps project for more homes to potentially be bought out.
Also, State Representatives Paul Workman and Eddie Rodriguez are leading an effort to help flood victims through the Austin-Travis County Flood Relief Fund. The Home Builders Association of Greater Austin, The Texas Association of Builders and the Texas Builders Foundation are supporting the rebuilding effort.The fund is meant to help families buy materials and hire contractors to start rebuilding their homes.
For more information visit Texas Builders Foundation.

The conversion is to start after the yearly reviews of the MGT / EXA's are finalized. Basically if you get under a 3.0 your ineligible for the demotion to ASM / Shift Lead. EXA's who score under a 3.0 will be offered the Shift Lead. MGT's will be offered a clerk position. EXA's who score 3.0+ will get the ASM, MGT's at 3.0+ will get the Shift Lead. If too many EXA's score under 3.0 then the ASM slots will be auto filled with the highest scoring MGT's. ANY write-up or LP investigation will weigh against you; regardless of if its based on fact or not and if you were innocent. The goal is to invalidate as many MGT / EXA's as possible prior to the conversion. Payscale for Shift Lead is $12.50-$14.50 max. ASM payrate has been said to be $16.00 -$18.50 max with small bonus. ASM-T will be $16.00. Our MVP has already signed off on this; the plan is to go into the Christmas season with the new structure and be able to show inflated profit through paycuts.
This is all hush-hush for now; with the store managers sworn to keep their mouths shut. Thankfully my CL, who is also my store manager doesn't know how to secure her meeting notes & email and I was able to get this info. I talked to others I know in the community and district and they have heard similar plans. I asked my SM/CL directly about this and she just snickered saying not to worry about it. I asked the DM when she was at my store for a visit and she was pi$$ed. She got red in the face, couldn't look me in the eye, but wanted to know what exactly I heard and from who. But she wouldn't confirm or deny what I asked.
So my question to everyone out there......is this happening where you are? Does anyone really believe that the company will hold to the "official" timeline, or can rogue districts/markets shorten the timetable? How will the performance reviews weigh in? Like I said I got this information directly from the store manager meeting notes and email sent to the store managers in my district.

My brother lost all of the other pieces but yeah, I really like the Homer figure. He's the most detailed Homer figure that I have. I mean, the bobblehead that I have is really detailed but only the head moves. I suggest picking these figures up because I hear that they talk if you can put them on some sort of platform.
The season 20 in DVD.
I ordered a yellow Homer coffee mug! I haven't gotten it yet but I'm waiting for it to arrive!

This is something that you guys are gonna find pretty cool.
It's the Simpsons Christmas Special on VHS! I got it really cheap!
So do I. They have such a great "vibe" to them. I also found the Beavis and Butthead movie on VHS.
Hommer, how much and where did you find that?
I got it for $1.99 at Wade's Comic Madness. They were having a Free Comic Book Day sale.
bought s14.
if i ever find 1-13, or any of them, used i'll buy those. not rebuying every season for 20-30 bucks
yea, and i'm only 5 months late... haha
Should've bought it if you got a VHS.
Season 26 Ratings:
I really thought about buying it but I don't have a VHS player.
I actually buy tapes more because of the novelty now. I just find them very nifty and fun. Reminds me of my young childhood. ^__^
I SO KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN! I think I'm going to head back tomorrow and see if it's still there. I mean, you can't go wrong with an item this rare for only $1.99!
You know what would really take me back to my childhood?
People still have VHS?
I have a VHS/DVD combo, but the VHS player eats tapes
Can you even buy a new VHS player these days?
vhs are great. you sure can buy them. mostly the dvd/vhs combo. but used solo vhs players work way better.
People still have 'new' VHS players?
Someone needs to call the 90s/2000s and tell them what year it is.

Do You Know a Hero? A firefighter who entered a burning house to rescue a trapped family? A passerby who dived into a frozen lake to pull a drowning child to safety? A neighbor who administered CPR to a total stranger? A dog which alerted its family to a fire?If you know of a hero, please nominate him or her to be a hero for the Red Cross.
Each year, the American Red Cross of Summit and Portage Countiesholds two events, the Acts of Courage in Summit County and the Real Heroes Awards in Portage County to honor local individuals who have performed courageous acts to save a life. The Red Cross is currently seeking nominations for the 2013 calendar year and it needs your help to identify local heroes.
To submit a nomination, individuals can visit the Red Cross web site at www.redcross.org/oh/akron and click on the "Local Programs" link. Nominations can be accepted online or through the use of a mail-in/fax-in nomination form that can be downloaded from the website or obtained from the Red Cross offices at 501 West Market Street in Akron.
As a community leader in emergency preparedness and response, the American Red Cross annually recognizes those residents of Summit and Portage Counties who have acted courageously and selflessly in a time of emergency. Often at great risk and sacrifice to their own personal safety, comfort, and well-being, these ordinary individuals have acted in a heroic manner by reaching out to help others in times of greatest need. Tragedies were averted and lives were saved.
The hero event may have happened anywhere, but must have occurred in 2013. Nominees must reside or be employed in Summit or Portage County. The deadline for nominations is December 31, 2013. All nominations will be reviewed by a judge's panel and heroes will be selected in January.
Because their actions embody the ideals, principles and purpose of the Red Cross to prepare for and respond to emergencies, the selected 2013 heroes will be honored during a special reception in the Spring of 2014. For more information, contact the American Red Cross at 330-535-2224.

By KENNETH MILLER
Assistant Managing Editor
Mike Brown was sitting way up at the top of the Redondo Union High School gymnasium while his older son Elijah Brown was playing in a local high school all-star basketball game, but the former Lakers coach will soon be sitting front row as head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers again.
Brown has been keeping a low profile since being canned by the Lakers after just five games into the season, but last Saturday following his son's game, he managed to speak openly and candid about his one plus season with the Lakers.
Flashing his signature smile, Brown said that he didn't feel the Lakers organization was in full support of him during his reign.
When told that I didn't think the Lakers would hire a Black coach and was surprised to see that he accepted the job, Brown responded:
"I kind of thought about that. I felt they were going to pull out all of the stops to doing everything to win a championship, but that was not the case."
During his first season, the strike-shortened season of 2010-2011, Brown didn't have the benefit of training camp and with a roster that had Derek Fisher and Lamar Odom on the team.
Then one day in December, he was called into General manager Mitch Kupchak's office.
"So, I go up there and he tells me that we just traded Lamar Odom! My mouth just dropped. He explained to me that it was for salary cap reasons, but nothing that he did after that justified anything to do with the salary cap," Brown said.
Brown said that he wasn't even consulted or asked what he thought before the trade went down.
"I mean, how can I not be told in advance of losing one of my primary pieces, a guy who was 'Sixth Man of the Year?'"
Then in March, the Lakers traded Fisher to Houston for Jordan Hill.
Brown went on to lead the Lakers to the Pacific Division championship with a 41-25 record before being swept in the Western Conference semifinals by eventual NBA champion Dallas Mavericks.
He was under the impression that with a full off-season and a complete training camp, the addition of key acquisitions the Lakers would furnish him with a roster that could compete for an NBA championship.
The Lakers traded away young star center Andrew Bynum and got a bigger star in Dwight Howard, then added Steve Nash to go along with Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol.
Teams usually don't put much stock into the preseason, but after the Lakers went winless, the pressure mounted on Brown.
Then the team under performed in the first five games of the season, but rarely if ever does a team terminate its coach so early in the campaign.
White coaches Mike Dunlap lasted the season after only winning 11 games with Charlotte. Dunlap was an assistant at St. Johns University and had no head coaching experience before he was hired.
Lawrence Frank won just 29 games in Detroit, but lasted the season before he was fired.
Brown's former player LeBron James was miffed at the Lakers firing, but Mike Brown exited with class.
"Yea, it was rather shocking. I mean, I take a team without a training camp into the second round of the playoffs and then I'm gone."
The Lakers have lost their cornerstone Bryant for the remainder of the playoffs and barely go in as a seventh seed playing sudden death the final weeks of the season.
Bryant logged more minutes than he has since his prime and went down with a torn Achilles tendon ruining any chance of the Lakers competing for the title under Brown's replacement Mike D'Antoni.
"Could you imagine what they would have said if I was the coach with Kobe playing all of those minutes?"
We will never know, but you can just imagine…
It is no longer a question of 'if' but rather 'when' will one of America's most treasured racetracks close its gates for good.
Racetrack employees have known since Bay Meadows Land Company purchased Hollywood Park from Church Hills Downs for $260 million in 2005 that their days were numbered.
Bay Meadows Land Company had previously purchased Northern California racetrack Bay Meadows and did to it what it plans on doing to the Inglewood racetrack.
At the time of the purchase, the company had only promised racing for three more years, which meant it should have already been history by now.
However, the recession of 2008 doomed any such land development plans as the housing market crashed, thus subsequently restricting Hollywood Park to schedule meet by meet.
The aggressive and unrealistic plan by Bay Meadows proposed to "transform" the 238-acre site at the corner of Century Blvd. and Prairie Ave. into a "new modern community."
It would remove racing that has existed since 1938 and the casino that was built in 1994 and replace it with parks, a hotel, theatre complex and about 3,000 new town homes or condos.
Hailed as Hollywood Park Tomorrow, the project pledged to produce 19,000 jobs for Inglewood residents, make a $2 billion investment and a projected $40 million in tax increment.
In fact some of the land has already been sold to a group of developers called Inglewood Renaissance, the city of Inglewood has voted to approve the project and an environmental impact study has been conducted.
Advocates say the new project is exactly what residents want and need, but the growing lists of critics are skeptical. They say that Inglewood already has plenty of parks, nearby town homes in Carlton Square is losing tenants and not gaining them and a new bustling Century Blvd., which has a shopping complex with major retail outlets, fast food chains and restaurants.
In the meantime, the racetrack has been off the respirator and breathing on its own, although attendance remains under 10,000, the on track handle has increased and recently Los Angeles subsidiary Betfair, which is owned by TVG, signed a five –year deal for naming rights.
If Hollywood Park could talk to humans it would tell us about the glory years when Citation became the first millionaire and when jockeys like Laffit Pincay Jr. and the late Bill Shoemaker rode past the finish line to a roar of applause.
The homegrown freakish mare Zenyatta which never lost a race at the track and finished with career earnings of more than $5 million while becoming the first female horse to beat males in the Breeders Cup Classic.
Zenyatta was so popular that she created a new buzz during her improbable undefeated streak before she finally lost by a nose in her final Breeders Cup Race against males.
More than any other horse that ran at Hollywood Park, Zenyatta inspired a legion of new fans women and children to come to the racetrack and watch her spot the field some 18 to 20 lengths before she came roaring down the stretch, gobbling up her competition for the victory.
There are several similar stories, but one of my all time favorites' horses was JO Tobin and I loved late track announcer Harry Henson, the steel courage of the rags to riches story of Lava Man.
Only World War II in 1942 managed to keep horseracing from being staged during a scheduled meet at Hollywood Park, but the Bay Meadows Land Company is doing its best to shut it down once and for all, it just won't be April 25-July 14.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- Tim Hardaway Jr. is moving on to the next challenge, well aware that he'll still need to prove himself if he's going to follow his father's footsteps in the NBA.
''Everybody's going in there with the same mindset,'' Hardaway said. ''There's no leeway.''
Hardaway announced Wednesday that he'll forgo his senior season at Michigan and enter the NBA draft. He's the second Wolverine to declare early for this year's draft - national player of the year Trey Burke announced his departure Sunday.
Burke could be one of the top players taken, but Hardaway's status is less clear. The 6-foot-6 guard started all 107 games he played during his three-year career with the Wolverines, but he's projected as a second-round pick by DraftExpress.
Players can seek input from an NBA draft advisory committee before leaving school, but Hardaway said the final choice was one he had to make himself.
''This was my decision. It wasn't about the advisory committee, it was about my decision and what I wanted to do,'' Hardaway said. ''I obviously had input from my coaches and my father, but it was my decision and they were behind me 100 percent.''
Hardaway's father played in the NBA from 1989-2003. The younger Hardaway, who is 6 inches taller, averaged 14.5 points in his final season at Michigan, helping the Wolverines reach the Final Four for the first time since 1993. Michigan lost to Louisville in the championship game.
''Really happy for Tim today, because Tim has really wrestled with this decision for a while,'' coach John Beilein said. ''He's gained a lot of information - as you well know, pretty well connected to the NBA, understands the competitive level of the NBA, how hard you have to work.''
There's been no announcement yet on the futures of Mitch McGary and Glenn Robinson III, two talented freshmen who could also leave Michigan for the draft.
Hardaway made an immediate impact as a freshman at Michigan, and although his 3-point shooting dipped to 28.3 percent as a sophomore, it improved to a career-best 37.4 percent this season.
As a junior, Hardaway was something of an elder statesman on a team that relied heavily on him, sophomore Burke and several freshmen.
Now, Hardaway is eager to see where he stands at the professional level.
''You dream about this moment since you were a kid,'' Hardaway said. ''My dad and my coaching staff put me in the right position, and all this comes from my mom. My mom has done a great job of just keeping me level-headed, raising me the right way and making sure that I respect others.''

KENTUCKY – Black jockeys Kevin Krigger and Victor Lebron, both of St. Croix, US Virgin Islands will be the first Crucians to ever race in the Kentucky Derby. Krigger will ride Goldencents at the Derby and is ranked second and Lebron will be on Frak Attack and is ranked twenty-eighth.
When thoroughbred horse racing began, Black jockeys reigned supreme. From Oliver Lewis, the first Kentucky Derby winning jockey in 1875 to Isaac Murphy, who won three Kentucky Derby's (1884, 1890, 1891) Black jockeys were the sports heroes of the late 1800's. It was 1902 when a Black jockey last won the Derby. That race was run by Jimmy Winkfield of Kentucky.
Many have predicted that Krigger could be the winner of the 2013 Kentucky Derby on May 4.
Earlier this month, Krigger won a total of four races during California's Santa Anita meet. He became the first Black jockey to win the Santa Anita and did it riding Goldencents which is partially owned by former University of Kentucky Coach, now University of Louisville Basketball Men's Basketball Coach Rick Pitino.
Kevin Krigger will be a guest on Key Conversations Radio Sunday, April 21st. Key Conversations Radio airs at 10 a.m. on WUKY-HD2. Listen online at www.wuky.org.

Special to the NNPA from the St. Louis American
If there were ever a true story that could hold the attention of an audience for nearly two hours without an intermission, it would be that of boxing icon-turned punch line-turned-professional entertainer Mike Tyson.
Since he became a pop culture phenomenon nearly 30 years ago, he has gone from the pinnacle to the pits and back again as the world watched. Last year he decided to give his side of the story in front of an audience – while forging a new career path outside of the ring. And Over the weekend Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth made its way to St. Louis for a one-night run at the Peabody Opera House.
Written by his wife Kiki Tyson and directed by Spike Lee, Tyson took the crowd – which obviously consisted mostly of diehard fans – on a journey that starts with his birth at a hospital in Brownsville, Brooklyn and a boxing career that began when he was barely a teenager.
Through his narrative, they learn the explicit details of what most of the audience already knew – that Tyson was forced to grow up harsh, and in a hurry.
What they may not have known – or expected – is that Tyson is able to look back at most of his experiences and laugh now that the lessons have finally soaked in.
Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth was filled with profanity and styled in the likes of urban comedy circuit bits that use laughter as medicine for real-life pain. Not even his birth certificate was safe as he pondered who the man whose last name he bears – a man who Tyson says is by no means his father.
At its best moments the production is charming and forges an even deeper connection with the audience that curiously waited to see what Tyson would expose during his portrayal of himself as his own past and present.
He shamelessly turned the punch lines around on himself and others forever tied to Tyson's tumultuous cautionary tale – like Robin Givens, her mother and former boyfriend Brad Pitt, Don King and his accuser Desiree Washington. And he fearlessly embraced unlikely elements of the show – including choreographed moments that ranged from ballet, to booty popping and roundhouse kicks – one couldn't help but root for Tyson as he appeared to have come full circle from the raging boxing machine he was once believed to be.
The show was not without its weak links, however. Most notably was Tyson's inability to slow down and lean into the story he was telling. Plenty of moments within the play felt rushed and stumbled over as Tyson struggled to fight distraction – and nerves – throughout the performance.
Another shortcoming of the show was the story itself. What could have been a streamlined transcendence from tragedy to triumph was poorly transitioned and disproportionate with respect to the ostentatious elements of Tyson's life experiences.
For example, an after-hours street brawl with mouthy fighter Mitch Green was given more attention to detail than the moment in which Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in the history of boxing.
His run ins with the law, short stay in a mental hospital and his rehab visit were giving higher billing than the spiritual enlightenment and life makeover that would ultimately give him the strength and courage to publicly combat his demons on stage – and learn not to take himself too seriously.
A more balanced approach to his experiences that showcase his personal growth – would have been a welcomed addition, and more accurate portrayal of Tyson's truth.
But even in the monologues lopsided with humor at Tyson's expense, viewers were at least exposed to his dedication to upholding the legacy of his mentor and father figure Cus D'Amato, and honoring his family (and the memory of his mother, sister and daughter Exodus) by way of his choices in the next phase of his life.

Advocate Christ Center for Breast Care now offers patients an advanced screening and diagnostic tool called digital breast tomosynthesis, also referred to as 3D mammography. 3D mammography imaging captures multiple "slices" of tissue and making it easier for doctors to see cancer.
Multiple angled images are acquired as the X-ray tube sweeps in a slight arc over the breast taking multiple images in just seconds. By viewing these images sequentially, it is easier for the radiologist to visualize a mass separate from overlapping breast tissue. A mass will be more conspicuous as it will stand out from breast tissue, not camouflaged in dense breast tissue.
3D mammography complements standard 2D mammography and is performed at the same time. There is no additional compression required.
The new technology reduces the percentage of patients who may be 'called back' from a screening mammogram for additional imaging. Overlapping tissue is separated and thus decreases need to call back a patient for questionable mass. The radiologist can scroll through images of your entire breast like pages of a book.
The new 3D mammography at Advocate Christ Center for Breast Care offers physicians a better chance to diagnose breast cancer at an earlier, more treatable stage. Call 708.684.1000 to schedule your 3D mammogram.
3D mammography will have more limited availability for screening mammography patients. 3D mammography requested during daytime hours will be subject to wait times and availability, due to limited resources. 3D mammography will be available to the radiologist for diagnostic mammography.

I am hoping some the more knowledgeable HH'ers can confirm my understanding.
If the Halos finish with 1 of the 10 worst records in baseball (they currently sit at 11) their first round pick in the first round is protected.
I think that means they would be able to sign a Type A free agent (Crawford, Beltre, Dunn) without losing their 1st round pick. My suspicion is that if the season ended today and we finished with the 11th worst record, the front office would likely lean away from any Type A free agent due to the perceived value of the pick.
Given where we are this season (67 wins), shouldn't we be hoping the we lose enough games down the stretch to surpass either Houston or Milwaukee (66 and 65 wins, respectively)
I apologize if this has been covered previously.

has had to face some tough questions during his first term as Little Silver's mayor, like whether the borough's revaluation could be postponed or if residents should be responsible for shoveling sidewalks.
But on Tuesday he got hit with some of the most challenging questions posed by residents, like if he knew how long Little Silver Creek was and whether his job as mayor was frustrating, when he was grilled by Point Road students as part of a technology research project.
Neff, who said the experience was "awesome," was interviewed via Skype by third grade students who asked questions they had generated with the help of Point Road technology teacher Wendy Whittle.
"The third grade students were very excited and we are sure that Mayor Neff enjoyed this technological event as well," said Principal Dr. Pamela Albert of the opportunity for the students to interact with the mayor while learning to use new technology.
The students also posed some questions to the mayor that have been asked of older residents as well, hitting on issues like the Seven Bridges Road bridge project, the long-vacant Gift Winds building downtown and vehicles speeding through town.
But some questions sprang from younger concerns, like whether there should be a skate park in town and why Little Silver didn't have its own football field.
Neff said, "The chance to talk with our students is one of the great benefits of being mayor, and I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
"I went to Point Road School as a child, and I'll tell you, the technology alone makes it a very different place," he added. "The only constant is the terrific teachers who take the time to put together events like this."

CNN Smears Reagan Legacy; Touts 'A Lot of People Who Were Suffering' Under Reagan
Their past antics might not lend them credibility as presidential critics, but CNN's Suzanne Malvaux and Carol Costello threw water on the GOP veneration of President Reagan on Friday. Echoing the liberal media of the Reagan years, the duo cast his conservative legacy as "revisionist history."
"And it's almost like revisionist history here. Back in the day, there were a lot of people who were suffering under the Reagan era," Malveaux insisted about GOP candidates invoking Reagan's name on the campaign trail. [Video below the break. Click here for audio.]
Costello made the simplistic argument that "Mr. Reagan raised taxes," and thus would be at odds with Republicans today who want to cut taxes.
CNN, of course, failed to report the big picture of Reagan's presidency. During his tenure in office, the top income tax rate fell from 70 percent to 28 percent. Reagan also cut corporate tax rates and worked to simplify the tax code with the 1986 Tax Reform Act.
To read more, and for a full transcript, click here.
A brief transcript of the segment, which aired on January 27 at 11:05 a.m. EST, is as follows:
CAROL COSTELLO: Gingrich isn't the first politician to fight over who carries Reagan's mantle best, but does it really mean anything? Ronald Reagan is an icon, but he was elected president in the disco era. What, three decades ago? Many young Republican voters scratch their heads. They're into Ron Paul, and he barely mentions Ronald Reagan. And you could argue President Reagan dealt with the economic woes of his time in a way Republicans are not willing to do now. Mr. Reagan raised taxes.
SUZANNE MALVEAUX: It's interesting, Carol, you know. Because I remember Reagan, I was kind of a young person at the time. And it's almost like revisionist history here. Back in the day, there were a lot of people who were suffering under the Reagan era. Some people believe that this is now rewriting the history books, if you will, and as people's memories kind of tend to make it more, I guess, fantastical. Yeah.

Lots of people are suffering under CNN's bs - Not Reagan legacy

- SUZANNE MALVEAUX: It's interesting, Carol, you know. Because I remember Reagan, I was kind of a young person at the time. And it's almost like revisionist history here. Back in the day, there were a lot of people who were suffering under the Reagan era. Some people believe that this is now rewriting the history books, if you will
Well I won't Suzanne. It's you (and your Carol Costello road show) that is rewriting history.
Back in the days when Reagan was running for president, a many people were suffering and the country was under the dark weight of the Carter malaise. interest rates were sky high and rising; unemployment was sky high and rising; inflation was sky high and rising, and the country was at the brink of an historic double-dip recession.
Iran had our hostages. Saddam had invaded Iran. The Imperialist USSR had invaded Afghanistan, and the polar ice caps were re-freezing from the thaw a few decades earlier.
Let's not waste out time here paying tribute about how the hostages were released, how the economy recovered and turned into the great economic boom, or how the Soviets would fail in Afghanistan and then fail, or how the Iron Curtain would finally fall. Let's speak of how the black community, which is suffering horribly under Obama's policy changes, faired following Ronald Reagan's efforts.
Using Larry Elder's work here:
Under Reagan, black adult unemployment fell faster than did white unemployment," noted Los Angeles radio host Larry Elder in a 1999 op-ed for the Ethnic News Watch. "Black teenage unemployment fell faster than did white teenage unemployment. And blacks started businesses at a rate faster than that of whites.
"In 1981,the nation's poverty rate stood at 14 percent. It declined to 11.6 percent in 1988, Reagan's last year in office."
Media reports on the 1990 Census support Elder's claims.
"A set of minority economic profiles released by the Census Bureau show that black households had a median income of $19,758 at the time of the 1990 census, up 84% from 1980," noted the Associated Press in July 1992.
"During that period, white median household incomes climbed 68%." [..]
Allow me to phrase that in a different manner. Income amongst blacks made more important gains, than whites, during the Reagan years.
According to a 1990 report in the San Francisco Chronicle:
"High school graduation rates among black students rose substantially during the 1980s, narrowing an education gap with whites, according to a new federal study on U.S. school enrollments.
"About 75 percent of blacks ages 18 to 24 in 1988 reported that they were high school graduates. Ten years earlier, only 68 percent of blacks in this age group reported that they had high school diplomas. The proportion of whites who say they graduated from high school has held at about 82 percent."
Compliments of a NY Times article:
"If you look at the numbers, the 1990's was a bad decade for young black men, even though it had the best labor market in 30 years," said Harry J. Holzer, an economist at Georgetown University and co-author, with Peter Edelman and Paul Offner, of "Reconnecting Disadvantaged Young Men" (Urban Institute Press, 2006).
Allow me to rephrase that one: The Clinton era was a very bad decade for young black men. Reagan era was good - Clinton era was bad.
And now - Obama era is bad - very bad.
The accompanying graphic, with that NY Times article, tells a very interesting tale, here's the link: Falling Behind.
While the graphics are a bit small - may I suggest that the reader look at the left side of each graph - at what was going on during the Carter years, leading up to the disaster that President Reagan inherited. Then look at the Reagan years - then the Clinton era.

Maybe Malveaux considers getting a job and supporting yourself a bad thing, as compared to relying on the government for your livelihood. Working a full time job and taking care of your family and paying taxes on what you earn tends to turn people in to Republicans. The 80's were indeed a scary time for people like Malveaux.

Submitted by big.league.slider on Sat, 01/28/2012 - 12:32am.
There might actually some small kernel of truth in Ms. Malveaux's comment about her knowing people who suffered during Reagan's presidency. For example, maybe she knows many members of the liberal media that suffered severe mental anguish during that time. Or maybe she knew some striking air traffic controllers that Reagan rightfully fired. Or maybe she is referring to Walter Mondale, who took an electoral beating of historic proportions from Reagan in 1984. Or maybe she personally knew lots of East German Berlin Wall maintenance workers and guards who lost their jobs after the wall came down.
Personally, I remember suffering under Carter, but I recall prospering under Reagan.

Big League, I think Malveaux was referring to herself.

She suffered because she was and is so totally invested in the liberal mantra that everyone suffers during a Republican presidency, and everyone profits during a Dem presidency. I know, the disconnect from reality is stunning. But, it is what it is.
I remember suffering under Carter, also. I remember being told that I could only buy gas, if there was any, on odd numbered days, because my license plate ended with an odd number. I remember hours-long lines at service stations. I remember Ted Koppel beginning his nightly telethon with "America Held Hostage, Day 327". I remember being told to turn down the thermostat as that was the patriotic thing to do. And, last, but certainly not least, I remember the Mullahs in Tehran showing the burned remains of American servicemen on their television, after the debacle of trying to rescue our hostages, after Carter had down-sized the military and cut funds for training and upgrades. Gee, that last sounds familiar, in a sick way.

Did you ever switch license plates with a friend or family member so you could buy gas even though it wasn't "your" day?
I did. Ahhh, good times.....

Yeah, I did.

I had a neighbor who, as it worked out, needed gas on my day, and I usually would fill up whenever the stations had gas, so, I'd switch with him whenever we needed gas.
I also remember people pushing their cars up to the pumps, because they'd run out of gas, waiting for a few hours for gas. I never got that low, but many did.

Costello: Reagan dealt with the economic woes of his time in a way Republicans are not willing to do now. Mr. Reagan raised taxes.
Wrong. President Reagan dealt with the economic woes by LOWERING taxes. Not raising them.
President Reagan raised taxes later to deal with a growing deficit problem with the government NOT due to economic woes.

Speaking of Reagan Era history.
Submitted by CobraMan on Sat, 01/28/2012 - 1:45pm.
The Reagan Era gave us such lexicons as the rise of the Yuppies, those newly graduated, extremely successful college kids who were "young urban professionals" or "young upwardly mobile" and were so plentiful in numbers that we actually created a brand new term just for them! Just how was that possible if "a lot of" people were "suffering" due to "Reaganomics?"
Let's compare the the two eras, shall we? Especially the comparisons of the expectations of the college kids during the Reagan Era and the college kids of the Obama Era. Then, during the Reagan era , the newly graduated college kids all expected to become rich and successful, which most of them did. Today, during the Obama era, they all expect to become vagrants, unemployed and drowning in debt, which most of them are. So, you tell me, liberals, which President had or has the better economic policies, Reagan or Obama?

Savor the irony
Submitted by CobraMan on Sat, 01/28/2012 - 2:34pm.
Do you know what the most ironic part of all this is? It's the irony of who the college kids today all blame as the instrument of economic destruction. Who's responsible for destroying our economy, you may ask today's college kids? That's easy: it's the fault of all those college kids of yesterday, the ones who became the bankers, the stockbrokers, the CEO's, the business owners, the people who, supposedly, are all money grubbing, racists, capitalist pigs who are working in unison to destroy America and it's economy. The colleges kids are blaming their fellow college graduates, the people who graduated the very same colleges they are now attending! How's that for irony?
And to pile irony on top of irony, the college kids of today, after identifying the cause of our economic implosion, the college kids of yesterday, claim that the solution to the destructive effects of the previous college graduates is to, yes, you've got it, have the government make it easier for more kids to get into college!
And, to make it even more ironic, the college educated democrats, along with the college educated "journalists, " both of whom cite all those college educated "experts," all blame the same people as the current college kids: their fellow college graduates. And, just like the current crop of college attendees, they, too, think that the solution is to produce even more college educated people, college educated people who's college educated children will, no doubt, blame for the economic woes of tomorrow, thus completing the Great Cycle of Irony!
I wonder if ANY of them even recognize the irony of all of this? Honestly, I don't think any of those college educated people are smart enough to even notice. Perhaps they should all go back to college?

It's an old spiral, one that I first noticed in the late 60's when we had all those college kids blaming all the woes of the world on the people who previous graduated from the very same colleges they, the "enlightened ones, were currently attending. They were protesting "The Man," while attending college learning how to become "The Man!" I was just a little kid, still attending grade school, but I could see the blatant irony in that. Why was it that they, the ones who had the benefit of a "higher education" failed to see it at all, just like they continue to do today?

Vatican attributes healing miracle to the intercession of the bishop who exposed Hitler's covert euthanasia programme, writes Dan Frank "THE LION of Münster", Cardinal Clemens August von Galen of Münster, is to be beatified after the Vatican recognised a miracle attributed to his intercession.
The miracle was recognised in December 2003 shortly after the 70th anniversary of his episcopal ordination, when the medical-theological Commission accepted its validity. Now that the miracle has been endorsed by the Congregation for Sainthood Causes, Pope John Paul II will sign the decree and choose a date for the beatification ceremony.
According to a statement issued by the Diocese of Münster "this announcement should take place days before the feast of Christmas".
Henrikus Nahak, a student from India, was pronounced cured by medical doctors in 1995 after asking for the intercession of Cardinal von Galen, who served as Bishop of Münster during the Second World War.
Clemens August — Count von Galen — was born in 1878 at Oldenburg Castle to a noble family. After gaining excellent results in his academic studies he was ordained a priest in 1904 and in September 1933 appointed Bishop of Münster by Cardinal Karl Josef Schulte.
Cardinal von Galen earned his nom de guerre while still a bishop by speaking out against the Nazi regime and exposing the covert practice of euthanasia, rising paganism, and attacks on priests and laymen who were being persecuted for their beliefs.
Particularly concerned about Adolf Hitler's burgeoning euthanasia programme, Bishop von Galen's homilies, which were printed and distributed all over Germany, revealed that vulnerable people were being removed from care institutions and mental homes and subsequently dying in suspicious circumstances. In a 1941 homily he said: "If we allow one of us to kill those who are non-productive, misfortune will strike the invalid who exhausted and sacrificed themselves, and lost their health and strength in the productive process.
"If we even once accept the principle of the right to kill our non-productive brothers even if it is limited from the start to the poor and defenceless mentally ill — then by this principle murder becomes admissible for all non-productive beings, the incurably ill, those made invalid at work or in war, and ourselves, when we are old, weak and so not productive.
"Arriving at this point, the life of none of us will be safe. Any commission can include us in the list of the non-productive. No police, no court will investigate our murder, or punish the murderer as he deserves.
"Who will be able to trust a doctor? He could classify his patient as non-productive and receive instructions to kill him." Bishop von Galen concluded: "It is impossible to imagine the abysses of moral depravity and general mistrust, even in the family realm, to which we would descend if such a horrible doctrine were tolerated, accepted, and put into practice." Homilies such as this had a significant impact on wounded soldiers returning home from the front. Many feared that they too would become targets for elimination, especially once evidence arose showing that First World War veterans were among those who had already been killed. Sensing the damage such knowledge could do to morale, the Royal Air Force went so far as to drop reproductions of the homily all over Germany as propaganda.
By refusing to keep silent Bishop von Galen only narrowly avoided execution for treason but, with much of Austria and the Rhineland deeply Catholic, Hitler was persuaded that this could lead to an uprising.
Instead Hitler gave the order on August 3 1941 to "block officially the implementation of the euthanasia programme", according to Fr Giovanni Sale, a historian at the Gregorian University, Rome.
"In the following years, despite Hitler's order, euthanasia continued to be practised in some particular situations; but the programme was not resumed on a large scale," Fr Sale said.
Amazingly, Bishop von Galen survived the war and, in December 1945, Pope Pius XII told visiting priests from Westphalia that he considered the bishop a hero. That Christmas Eve, Vatican Radio announced that the bishop would be made a cardinal at the consistory in February 1946. He died a month after he received his red hat from the Pope on March 22 and was buried in Münster Cathedral.
But while the Church prepares to honour the heroism of Bishop von Galen in the face of Nazi tyranny, it is also bracing itself for renewed criticism over its alleged role in smuggling some of the worst of Hitler's henchmen out of Europe to South America.
Anew documentary film by Argentine director Rodolfo Pereyra uncovers uncomfortable links between the Vatican, top Nazis and the government of Argentina towards the end of the Second World War.
Oro Nazi en Argentina (Nazi Gold in Argentina) explores how many high-ranking Nazis fled to Argentina, laden with gold bullion stolen from Jews they had sent to the concentration camps. According to Pereya, many escaped with the direct assistance of the Catholic Church and the Argentine government.
The Vatican is accused of setting up safe houses and creating new identities for Nazi war criminals, including Josef Mengele, the doctor who carried out experiments on concentration camp inmates, and Adolf Eichmann, the architect of the Holocaust, who escaped dressed as a Franciscan monk. Krunoslav Draganovic, a Vatican priest, is known to have helped smuggle around 2,000 Croatian Nazis to Argentina.

Groups are working in India, Micronesia, and Louisiana
October 11, 2005
Two teams of students are overseas ministering to the needs of people and applying the knowledge of their academic discipline. One group is working on two islands in Micronesia, while a second group is in India, continuing work begun by another Bryan group this past spring.
Academic Vice President Dr. Cal White said fall break allows time for these extended trips supervised by Bryan staff and faculty. Students are able to gain first-hand experience using the skills they learn in the classroom and to learn from the interaction with those in other cultures.
Mr. Matt Benson, dean of spiritual formation, oversees this program, and students earn academic credit through Bryan's Division of Christian Studies for their investment of time and talent.
A third group of more than eighty students and staff is spending their fall break in Louisiana, assisting victims of the hurricanes. David Beisner, a sophomore from Pembroke Pines, Fla., is coordinating this effort; Dr. Travis Ricketts, director of Bryan's Practical Christian Involvement and assistant professor of history, is among those on the trip and responsible for the entire group.
Part of the team will work with children at a center for displaced persons in Baton Rouge, while others will travel to various sites to assist with clean-up and rebuilding.

I was first called to set up the initial interview. They asked general questions for about 10mins. then described the company for about 15mins. I was asked back for a second interview the next day where I was told would be a "day in the life of" type interview. So I would be shadowing an associate. I was still unsure though of what the job was. It was in that day I found out it was a door to door sales job selling Verzion Fios. I spent 7 hours going door to door with one of the associates and since I was not told about this I was wearing dress clothes and uncomfortable shoes that gave me blisters and a poor opinion about the company. Also, was told that most days I would be going door to door solo which made me feel very unsafe and nobody seemed to care about the safety side of it.Interview Questions

Applied on career builder, got the call instantly and set up an interview for the following day. The interview lasted 15 minutes, with general questions like "professional weakness?, 3 words to describe yourself, what do you like to do for fun" blah blah blah. explained they work with verizon but didn't give a description as to what the job would entail as it was just a preliminary interview and if i happened to get selected for round 2 then it would go into more detail. talked about the company and how they have happy hour together every thursday night and take trips together-whatever. afterwards i got down to the lobby and asked someone sitting down where the bathroom was, he directed me and then afterwards when i came out of the bathroom asked me who i just interviewed with bc i was holding a folder with my resume/notebook. told him and he said its his 4th day on the job, i asked "so whats the job like, what do you do there?" he replied with "i can't tell u what i do its a secret, i'm not supposed to tell anyone". so i asked "what do u mean you can't tell me?" he said if i got the call for the second round interview later in the day then they would explain more what the job was . sounded super sketchy and fishy, who says "i can't tell you what i do?" unless you work for the secret service or something?! i never ever write reviews for places but this one really shook me to the bone and i wanted to get it out there of what this place was like. nonetheless- when i left the office where the interview was at the walked to the lobby, about 10 other people were in there waiting to be interviewed. must be a high turnover rate. wonder why. just got the call for a second interview too but declined.

I had 2 interviews. The first was a brief one on one interview where the employee went through a list of questions. I received a call the same day stating I received a second interview. The second was also a one on one interview where the employee went into detail about the job. I received a call the next day stating that I received the job and could come in the next day to fill out paperwork. I thought this was surprising, as I did not accept the position, but asked to have time to think about it. I ended up declining.
I was surprised at how many people were there interviewing. There had to be at least 10-15 people waiting for interviews during the few hours I was there. Shows that there is a high turnover rate, which is not good. Also surprised at how unprofessional the office and people waiting to be interviewed were.

Under the new defense budget, the Army is required to reduce and reorganize its force. Fort Sill officials are still analyzing all their options and no decisions have been made yet. However, the Army's active duty component will be cut by about 80,000 soldiers by the year 2017, so many posts will be impacted.
Major General Mark McDonald will take the information from today's session and forward it to the Department of the Army.

Happy Valentine's Day from Mrs. Fields! Don't get me wrong, I love chocolate! But I'm a total sucker for cookies. Cookies are a comfort food and a way I celebrate special times. I even created a special chocolate chip cookie for my one year wedding anniversary and named them Anniversary Cookies. To this day I bake them for Hubby every April.
I'm happy to report I did quite a bit of baking while the weather has been cool! And Hubby even got in on the action. But there's something about receiving a gift of Mrs. Fields Cookies that's really special. Their products always arrive packaged so nicely and in pristine condition. I have two of their ceramic cookie jars and both arrived at my doorstep in perfect condition with every single fresh-baked cookie intact. Other companies take forever to process, package and ship my orders. When I order from Mrs. Fields I have my cookies in just a few days. Their shipping is that fast!
I was Blessed to receive a Loveable Tin with Frosted Cookies for review. This beautiful assortment of cookies is available in two sizes: 6 original cookies and 6 NEW hand-frosted cookies or 12 original cookies and 12 NEW hand-frosted cookies. Guess which size Mrs. Fields has chosen to allow me to host a Giveaway for?
You guessed it! I received 12 original cookies and 12 NEW hand-frosted cookies in a very festive, re-usable holiday gift tin! Mrs. Fields Cookies are soft and so yummy. They've been baking their famous chocolate chip cookies for more than 30 years! They don't scrimp on the ingredients either. Their products are made with the same things I use in my kitchen; real butter, whole eggs, pure vanilla, and a special blend of flours, sugar, and chocolate.
The Loveable Tin with Frosted Cookies includes 12 individually wrapped heart-shaped, hand-frosted cookies in red and white. They are great with a cup of tea or coffee and they make a nice little lunch box treat! Or how 'bout handing these out to all the people in your life who make your day a little brighter! Also included are 12 original cookies in 'double packs'. These are
large ginormous cookies in fancy flavors like Cinnamon Sugar, Debra's Special Oatmeal Raisins and Walnuts, White Chunk and Macadamia Nuts, Triple Chocolate, Semi-Sweet Chocolate without Nuts and Milk Chocolate without Nuts!
You can see before you take your first bite that Mrs. Fields Cookies are going to be something special. The Cinnamon Sugar Cookies glisten with a light coating of coarse sugar on top. Not only does that make them taste sweet, it adds a little extra crunch! The Chocolate Chip Cookies are so loaded with chips there's almost no room for the dough! :) And even if you're not an oatmeal raisin cookie fan, try Debra's! I bet she'll make a fan out of you! Her Special Oatmeal Raisins and Walnuts Cookies are soft, moist and and loaded flavor!
Keep in mind that Mrs. Fields Cookies are baked fresh and shipped out pretty quickly so when you receive them they're almost 'hot outta the oven!" If you are not going to eat them within a few days you can preserve the freshness by freezing them in an airtight container. Don't make the mistake of refrigerating them. That just makes them dry and stale. I let the frosted cookies come to room temperature and enjoy. The Original Cookies are fabulous warmed for a few seconds in the microwave!

The first level of training purifies our visual perception by working directly with the elements or forms of the visual field: color, light, surface (texture, lines and patterns) and space and dot in space. In this level we also attend to the "flash of perception" which is a direct presentation of the phenomenal world. Miriam Hall is a senior Nalanda Miksang instructor (www.miksang.org). She teaches at Shambhala Centers in Europe and North America, and Marquette University in Milwaukee. She is also an instructor in Contemplative Writing (www.herspiral.com) and Shambhala Art (www.shambhalaart.org). No experience is necessary for this course.
