West Virginia is currently after two players who line up at
the same position for the same school in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
University School outside linebackers Nick Internicola and
Skai Moore each carry offers from the Mountaineers for 2013 as they put in work during
spring football, which opened last Monday for the Suns.
With Internicola listed at 6-foot-3, 230 pounds and Moore at
6-2, 205, the two compliment each other well, whether in coverage, stopping the
run or rushing the passer. Each have three-star ratings on Rivals.com.
"Everyone says that we're pretty much the same exact
player," says Internicola. "We have the same characteristics on and off the
field and we're actually really good friends and we're really excited about
going to the same school as each other. We have West Virginia in mind with that."
Of Internicola's five offers, all but one school has also
offered Moore. He does not highlight a favorite among them, but Internicola
does say that he enjoyed an unofficial visit he took to Morgantown back in the
spring and a return trip is the only official visit he is planning at this
"I was really surprised because I thought it was going to be
a small town, but when I got there I thought it was really nice and I felt
comfortable," says Internicola. "The coaches were all nice to me and the players
would come up and talk to me. I enjoyed it a lot and I would love to go up
there on my official visit."
While on his visit, Internicola had a chance to watch
defensive line coach Erik Slaughter in action and take in meetings and practice
early in camp. He says most teams have talked about using he and Moore on
opposite sides of the ball, but his focus is the Buck position.
Internicola believes he could be a good fit with what
Slaughter and his unit are trying to accomplish at WVU.
"I talked to Coach Slaughter and I was in their meeting and
everything they're doing, I'm doing at 'U' School, so I felt very comfortable
with the position they want me at. They're running that new 3-4 [scheme] and I
feel like I could fit in with the defense," he says.
As for what is attracting to schools to him, Internicola
says the reasons are more based on his character than his abilities.
"I'm a good person, I don't take anything for granted, I
work hard and I stay humble," he says.
He would rather talk about his teammate and friend, Moore,
who Internicola says is a terrific overall talent with the aggressiveness and
the will needed to fight for success.
The two do not consider themselves a package deal, but are
hopeful that the opportunity could present itself and they could wind up at the
same school. For now, they are still guaranteed one more year lining up
together, and they intend to take advantage of it on the field.
Internicola says his goal is to win the state championship
for University School, which fell to American Heritage in the playoffs last
At some during that final year of high school football, he
and Moore will make their commitment to the team that offers them the best
chance of success at the next level of the sport.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) - Officials in Newtown, Conn., say the district should tear down the elementary school where 20 first-graders and six educators were shot to death in December and construct a new building on the property.
A task force of 28 town elected officials unanimously recommended the plan Friday night after residents expressed mixed opinions on what should be done with Sandy Hook Elementary School. The proposal now goes to the local school board, which has final authority.
The panel had narrowed a list of choices to renovating or rebuilding on the school site or building a new school on property down the street. Each would cost between about $48 million and $60 million.
The 430 surviving students are attending a renovated school renamed Sandy Hook Elementary School in the neighboring town of Monroe.

SEATTLE—A Dupont woman is grieving the death of her husband who was killed in Afghanistan.
MindyLou Paresi told The News Tribune that her husband, Dane Clark Paresi, was among the dead at a CIA bombing last week. Paresi worked as a private contractor with the security company formerly known as Blackwater. The 46 year old worked for the company, Xe.
Paresi is one of eight killed at a CIA base in Afghanistan. Their bodies were flown to Dover Air Base Monday.
His wife told The News Tribune, "All of the agents are national heroes because they were there to do a job, a very large job," she said. "What it was I do not know exactly, but they were heroes fighting the war against terror."
Xe spokesman Mark Corallo declined to confirm whether the men worked for the North Carolina-based company, simply saying "our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the fallen." The CIA is not releasing information about the victims, citing the sensitivity of their mission and other ongoing operations.
A former U.S. intelligence official has said a suicide bomber killed eight people inside a CIA base in Afghanistan, including four CIA officers, three security guards and a Jordanian intelligence officer. Officials have identified the bomber as 36-year-old doctor Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, of Zarqa, Jordan. Officials said he had been recruited by Jordanian intelligence.
The bodies of seven CIA workers arrived Monday at Dover Air Force Base in a small private ceremony attended by CIA Director Leon Panetta, other agency and national security officials, and friends and family.
Blackwater has for years had a tight relationship with the CIA. Along with base security, the company has previously been involved in loading missiles on Predator drones and a secret assassination program. The company has also hired a number of former CIA officials.

Satin Spaghetti Strap with Pick-up Skirt Style FG9309 31 32
Stunningly Lovely! Bought this dress for my 9 year old granddaugher. The wedding was 2 days ago. The dress was stunning and only needed the tiniest altration at the zipper top as the dress top was a little too wide. The dress was red with a black sash. The only problem we had was that the loops for the sash both popped off the dress during a fitting when putting the sash on, but were replaced easily by the alterations dept. The dress was a little heavy with the netted layers underneath, but our granddaughter felt like a princess in it, so didn't seem to mind. And for the price it was an amazing dress. May 1, 2011
Love this dress! I bought this dress for my 10 year old daughter, who is walking me down the aisle along with my father for my May 20th wedding. She absolutely loves this dress and it matches mine exactly! She said she feels like a princess in it. :D April 16, 2011
Best flower girl dress ever!! This flower girl dress was perfect for my wedding. It matched my wedding dress perfectly!!! Thank you David's Bridal!!! March 31, 2011

When someone say's "What did I do that was sooo bad—?"
Cut it out with that high and mighty bs. Accept the fact that you made a mistake and you were *insensitive, selfish, criticizing, vain, unreasonable*. You are not that great that everybody wants a fucking piece of you. That's the problem wants to leave you because they're uncomfortable with the relationship, be understanding. You think asking questions like this is gonna make them reconsider? And THEN, to have them recall all the whack shit you put them through….why?
The Feels (The Giver)
So recently I read "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess and reread "The Giver" by Lois Lowry. I really appreciated the lesson given by "Clockwork" that if you take a man's right to choose, he ceases to become a man. All the vocabulary and language was a nice touch too, definitely outside of anything I've read before. However, my feels all came to a head after finishing "Giver". I don't remember that book making me feel depressed! Just the thought of Jonas and The Giver having to carry the weight of so many people on their shoulders! Experiencing all these "feels" themselves an wanting so badly to share them with their community. I wasn't very open to the ending though. The author says she's surprised to hear that reader's think that Jonas and the baby are dead, but girl, they dead. *side eye*
"The Last of Us: Left Behind" Greatness
A couple of days ago, I watched the gameplay for The Last of Us: Left Behind DLC. I have never been more impressed with a video game storyline. The writers so perfectly executed a young, gay, interracial relationship between the main characters and I was just so impressed. If you don't mind watching other people play video games (it's kinda like a movie) then I definitely recommend it. I watched theRadBrad's gameplay on youtube.
tumblr appreciation post.
I just have to give this website a shout-out right quick…::::
If not for tumblr, I don't think I would've learned about self acceptance, racism, misogyny, cisism, transphobia and appropriation. I mean I guess I would've eventually but the younger the better right? Is that sad? That a social media medium supplied me with all of this knowledge? Not to say that this kind of information isn't on Facebook, insta, twitter, etc., but tumblr is kinda known for being the primary platform for these kind of subjects. But i suppose most of the credit goes to the bloggers that are willing to spew insight on us small minded individuals. so….thank y'all.

While Fat Tuesday is not quite here yet, the Mardi Gras celebrations have already begun here in Bay County.
The Mardi Gras spirit in St. Andrews was overwhelming as more than 30 floats paraded down the street, tossing beads and candy at the crowd.
"I like the family atmosphere," says Charlie Coram, a participant of the event. "I like seeing the kids; their face brightens up every time you throw them beads."
Following the parade, the festivities continued, with something for everyone.
"We really focused on trying to make this a family event," says Andy Wise, a co-organizer of the event. "We've got bouncy houses,slides, pony rides. We've got swings. All sorts of food that the kids will like."
You cant forget the Cajun Cook-off that is raising money for the king and queen's charity the Sunrise Community.
I've got shrimp. I've got chicken. I've got sausage. I've got rise tomatoes, onions, bell peppers. I've got a friend... that makes a special hot sauce that we've got in there," says Coram.
And if you missed the excitement Friday night, things will start back up at 10:00am Saturday morning.
Event organizers say the Mardi Gras Parade and Festival continues to grow each year.

Prom is a rite of passage for high school students across the US, but between selecting a dress, a date and a dinner venue, it's easy to get caught up in the commotion and forget one very important thing: Safe driving.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety is urging parents to remind their kids to drive safely and wear their seatbelts as spring months have been tallying the most unbelted teen deaths.
April, May and June have combined for the highest percentage of unbelted teen deaths in the past three years – 30 in those three months alone since 2010, the DPS says.
Breakdown of unbelted teen driver deaths (ages 13-19) by season, 2010-12:
> Jan., Feb., March: 24 deaths, seven unbelted
> April, May, June: 30 deaths, 19 unbelted
> July, Aug., Sept.: 32 deaths, 13 unbelted
> Oct., Nov., Dec.: 17, seven unbelted
"Poor seat belt use, along with driver inexperience, risk-taking and distractions, are the key factors that make traffic crashes the leading cause of death for teens," Gordy Pehrson, DPS Office of Traffic Safety youth programs coordinator said. "It's imperative that parents and caregivers take the time to talk with their teens about the importance of seat belt use, reinforce teen driving laws, and set their own family driving rules."
The DPS offered a few tips for parents to help establish safe driving habits:
> Drive with your teen and continue to train them even after they receive their license—the first year of driving poses the greatest risk of a crash.
> Train using a variety of road types (urban, rural) and in different conditions (night, rain, snow).
> Set limits and review them with the teen, including passenger rules, nighttime driving and use of technology in the vehicle.
> Tell teen to speak up when he or she feels unsafe as a passenger in another vehicle.
> "Withdrawal of parental consent" form is available for parents to cancel their teen's driving privileges (under age 18).

Our stories are ...Phenomenal girl...you inspire me. Our stories are so similar-my husband says I don't have a problem, etc.. But waking up every day with guilt is heartwrenching And physically stressful. My work at work suffers, and my work at home suffers. I read on a blog post once that we would fire a babysitter who drank on the job...yet we (moms) seem to look past it when it is us.

I'm still drinking. Had one yesterday so the hubs wouldn't look at me funny. Wait, no, that's not why-I had one yesterday because I couldn't stop it. Heck, I was both proud and sad it was only one! Usually it's the bottle.

Sounds crazy maybe. But that addiction personality, which is very strong right now, wants so desperately to keep you drinking.

That phenomenal chic is fighting.

Surrender. Forget what "others" (including mom) perceive about your drinking habit. Stop this madness and listen to that voice deep within.

Surrender. Let go. Permit yourself to listen to others who have been where you are. Just for a while until the dust settles. Get some email addys, phone numbers. When you catch that addict mind suggesting you pull over to pick up a bottle (and you've NO idea where that voice came from) ,, PICK UP THE 75 POUND PHONE AND CALL SOMEONE IN RECOVERY. Simply ask the person,, "please give me one reason why I should not have this first glass of wine"

KISS -----> Keep it Simple Sistah !!
This is not brain surgery. But you MUST surrender,
be honest,
open - minded
and WILLING!!

You got this!! Change your life today. Don't be like me and make some devestating mistakes as you approach 50...

Can you honestly imagine going to bed sober and waking up feeling the same way you do now after drinking? Leaving behind that kind of daily self-hatred mantra literally saved my life. It's my favorite part of being sober. None of us can be Phenomenal Girls if we beat the crap out of ourselves first thing every morning. Removing the alcohol short circuits the downward spiral of self-hatred, ensuing depression and more drinking to numb the effects of the self punishment.

It was for me. And you don't NEED to. I thought that without the booze I would fall apart.. I thought, like your family told you, that I needed wine to "relax". I have never been happier since I got sober. I have 19 months away from wine and that distance helped me realize that YES I WAS THAT BAD. It doesn't matter what other people were doing. It was that bad for me. Give sobriety a try.. If you hate it, you can always go back to drinking..

A retired house painter is walking across the country, for the birds. His name is Brad Storey and he's making the journey along with his trusty dog "Xena."
The 65-year-old Storey and his Siberian Husky began the walk seven weeks ago at Jeckyl Island, Georgia and are headed for San Diego, California.
He's an avid bird watcher who's raising money on his journey for the Audubon Society.
"After painting houses for 40 years and raising my kids, I've always wanted to do something on a larger scale," said Storey, as he walked along the beach sidewalk beside Highway 90.
Their large scale adventure is walking coast-to-coast across America. Along the journey, they're checking out the birds.
"We're doing it as a fund raiser for the Audubon Society. I've been a bird watcher, or a birder, for 30 years. I'm not one of the top birders in the country or anything like that, but I enjoy it as much as anybody does," he said.
We caught up with the pair as they visited with fellow birders along the beach near Jones Park. Marsha Kazal runs an Ocean Springs business that caters to bird watchers.
"Our big concern is getting kids involved with nature. With all the video games they're playing and all the sports and everything, they get outside, but they don't get outside and see nature. And these are people who need to preserve what we have in the future," she said.
Storey took time to enjoy the abundance of shore birds along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. His long time job prepared him well for such a long walk.
"I can't find any excuse to quit. My legs are holding up. Being a former painter, my legs are pretty strong from climbing ladders. So, I keep doing it and my dog keeps doing it," he explained.
And they're doing it to help protect and preserve habitat for the birds
"The reason we concentrate on birds is because birds are an indicator species for habitats. So, if there's not birds in an area, then that's a red flag that something's going on," said Mozart Dedeaux with the Audubon Society.
Storey and Xena are doing more than their part to spread the message.
"Hopefully, it will raise some awareness about the need for habitats to be preserved," said Storey.
Storey says he's met some fascinating folks along his journey. He's also had some great bird watching moments, including spotting a flock of "wood storks" in Alabama a few days ago.

BART's airport parking popular
A new, cheap form of airport parking is proving quite popular with Peninsula travelers, but less so with competitors and some local officials.
Earlier this month, BART began offering long-term parking at four San Mateo County stations for $6 per day, undercutting off-site airport parking lots in San Bruno and San Francisco. Customers reserve the spots through a link on BART's Web site.
The transit agency's program is off to a fast start. In its first week, customers reserved nearly 2,000 days of long-term parking, BART spokesman Linton Johnson said. That puts the program on pace to surpass its annual revenue goal of $368,000.
The Millbrae station, from which a round-trip BART ticket to SFO costs just $3, has been especially popular, garnering more than 75 percent of the reservations. That's a big change for a station where the lots usually sit mostly empty.
But not everyone sees the program as an unmixed blessing.
"On the face of it, it could provide better service for commuters and airport users," San Mateo County Supervisor Jerry Hill said. "But we have to look at the fact that it's now competing against some of the local businesses that provide those same services."
Competition, of course, is the American way. But Hill and others point out that BART is a public agency that is now competing with private businesses.
"It's not an even playing field," said Marty Van Duyn, assistant city manager for South San Francisco. "This is a public facility paid for with the public's tax money, and they pay no property taxes, no sales taxes, no use taxes."
That allows BART to charge much lower rates than its private competitors, Van Duyn said. For the off-site parking businesses located in South San Francisco, that could mean revenue and job losses, which could translate into less revenue for the city.
The city lodged similar complaints against an on-site parking upgrade by San Francisco International Airport and recently reached an agreement to share in the revenues. Van Duyn said BART so far has declined to negotiate, so the city, for now, is waiting to gauge the extent of the problem.
It probably won't even be noticeable, BART spokesman Johnson said. He pointed out that the transit agency is making a maximum of 500 spots available at the four stations.
By contrast, the airport has about 3,500 long-term spots on-site, and about 85,000 travelers take off from SFO each day, spokesman Mike McCarron said.
SkyPark, a privately run lot based in San Bruno, has about 1,700 spots that rent for $13 to $19 per day, company president Kim Kassner said.
"It's too early to tell, but I assume we will lose some business" to BART, Kassner said. "Certainly we took a hell of a drop when the airport (parking facility) opened up, but BART is an unknown quantity. Will they attract enough people who are willing to lug their bags around?"
Yasir Hussein, operations manager for the nearby San Francisco Clarion Airport Parking, said he got a call from his supervisor when word broke aboutBART's parking plan. "He said, in a joking way, "Can you do better than $6 a day?'"
Hussein said he certainly can't, but, nonetheless, he doesn't see the BART lots as a big threat.
"We've built a clientele based here and usually customers do what's convenient for them. So far, it hasn't dragged any of our customers away."
Despite the program's early popularity, Johnson said, the lots are far from sold out at this point. But he advised airport travelers hoping to park at BART lots during the holiday season to make their reservations far in advance, just in case.
More information about BART's long-term parking program is available online at http://www.bart.gov/guide/parking/longTerm.asp .

I've seen similar stand design in a local music shop, I wasn't too sure about them personally. Very wobbly. On the other hand they placed a Pioneer DVJ 1000 on top and it still works :P. It did go all over the place though when you get a bit to enthusiastic hehe.

garrrrrrrrrrrr... I think my right cdj is dying on me. Dying a slow, painful death.
I have to say the OnStage stand seems to be of a sturdier build than the QuikLok one.
At the base, the OnStage has a metal piece that connects the 'stem' to the sides of a triangle to form a T. Granted, it's a thin piece of metal, but it does add some reinforcement to the base and would help prevent the vertical post from moving around as much.
The mechanism to hold the upper shaft also seems to be more sturdy. The QuikLok stand doesn't seem to have a pin that goes through the drilled holes in the shaft to ensure the stand remains at the set height.
The QuikLok stand does mention an incorporated cable management system. I can't tell if they're just clips to hold the wires or if they are run through the hole in the center of the platform and out the triangular base. The OnStage stand just has small clips through which to attach wires. The version I have has smaller clips than those in this picture .
OT: I just realized I still haven't posted pictures of my setup. I'll get around to it eventually. =)

Louisiana is facing major budget cuts across the board in healthcare.
In the past few years, they've slashed program after program. The downsizing culminated with state hospitals all over the state turning private.
Now the Secretary of the Department of Health and Hospitals, Kathy Kliebert, says if this doesn't work they'll have to cut services.
Kliebert became the secretary two months ago amid a firestorm of controversy over the state leaving the hospital business.
LSU Health Shreveport is the sixth public hospital to convert to private, with a drop date of Oct. 1.
This comes after medical centers in Lake Charles, Lafayette, Baton Rouge and New Orleans all took the plunge earlier this year.
Kliebert said it hasn't all gone smoothly. Our Lady of the Lake in Baton Rouge had issues getting prescriptions filled during it's changeover.
"It was sort of an unanticipated problem that we had when we did the transition. But, then the partners came and sat down with us and talked to the community about what the issues were. We were able to pretty quickly resolve those issues," said Kliebert.
The DHH hopes they're now better prepared to avoid this issue when LSU Health Shreveport transitions.
Kliebert said under new management these hospitals are expanding services.
"As a private entity, you have such flexibility in terms of being able to staff up and staff down as you need to and being able to do things without the bureaucracy of a state operation," said Kliebert.
LSU Health Shreveport has one major difference from the others. It's private partner is not a hospital.
The Biomedical Research Foundation is a non-profit, community-based research group, who has contracted the consultants Alvarez and Marsal to help with the private management transition.
"Biomed doesn't have the experience themselves, but they have gone out and gotten the experience. They've contracted individuals that have hospital management experience. I'm confident that the people they've contracted with can do the same type of things that our other partners have been able to do," said Kliebert.
Kliebert's confidence isn't necessarily matched by hospital patients and employees.
In one month, the hospital will go private and there are still lots of unanswered questions.
Kliebert said one thing is for sure. If these transitions don't free up state money, it could mean more major cuts next session.
"I do believe that we are to the point where if we do get additional reductions that it will end up affecting services," said Kliebert.
Meanwhile, the state has privatized mental health services. Magellan Health Services is now the manager. The company holds a two-year contract worth $354 million.
The state legislative auditor reviewed four south Louisiana districts and found that the new mental health system is creating confusion and adding costs.
"It's a limited look at a select number of providers rather than a broad look at what the behavioral health partnership has done throughout the state. There have been some very significant achievements in terms of what we've been able to add to services," said Kliebert. "We've added so many mental health practitioners in the medicaid system."
The contract with Magellan began in March 2012 and runs through Feb. 2014
Kliebert said through moving mental health services and acute services to managed care the state has saved $125 million this year.

Astros bring back versatile Bruntlett
Houston signs utility man to one-year, incentive-laden deal
HOUSTON -- Eric Bruntlett, a jack of all trades, signed a one-year contract worth $525,000, Astros general manager Tim Purpura announced on Friday. The contract also includes a series of incentive clauses.
Bruntlett, who will turn 29 in March, will be manager Phil Garner's "super utility" man in 2007. A versatile fielder, Bruntlett will be called upon to play almost every position, including all three outfield spots, plus second base, third base and shortstop.
Bruntlett hit .277 last season with a career-high 33 hits and eight doubles. He led the Astros with a .412 average as a pinch-hitter, including four RBIs and three doubles. He appeared at six positions in 2006 -- 23 games at second, 21 at short, eight in center, six in left, five in right and two at third.
Since 2004, Bruntlett has appeared in 16 playoff games for the Astros, including two World Series games. In 2005, he started the game-ending double play in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series. In 240 career Major League games, Bruntlett has hit .251 with nine home runs, 36 RBIs and 14 stolen bases.

Amandeep Chanju was holding his 3-month-old son in his arms as he watched the steady procession of floats blaring Sikh hymns, prayers and chants pass Sunday.
I like everything, said Chanju, 34, of Santa Rosa, who was standing with his family along the road, not far from the Sikh temple in Yuba City. Its my religion, and I like being part of this with different people from different religious communities.
Chanju was among the estimated 80,000 to 100,000 people who watched or walked among 45 floats in the 34th annual Sikh parade, which wound through 4 1/2 miles of city streets. The Yuba City parade is considered the largest in the United States, drawing participants and onlookers from around the world.
The parade, called Nagar Kirtan, marks the end of the three-day Guru Gadee Diwas festivities that celebrate the inauguration of the Siri Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhism.
It is the day that we launched the Granth, said Sahib Singh, a priest of the Sikh Temple in Yuba City, also known as the Tierra Buena Gurudwara. We take the word out into the city so everyone can see the Guru Granth.
The Sikh scripture is placed on a float, which leads the procession. Traditionally, the float is preceded by the Panj Piare, or the Five Beloved of the Guru, who are dressed in saffron or orange robes. Orange is the color of peace in Sikhism.
Along the parade route, a number of booths offered free food and drink. The free provisions are a reminder of a deed of the first Sikh guru, according to Chanju.
When he was 9 years old, his father gave him 20 rupees to buy food for the saints, and he went and bought food for the poor people, he said.
Karmjit Gill, 31, of Fresno was eating from a plate of saag (a spinach and mustard dip) and makhi roti (corn tortilla) at one of the stands along the parade route. She came with her family her husband, Awtar Gill, 35; two daughters, Komal, 7, and Puneet, 5, and her son, Gurman, 3 all wearing traditional, colorful Indian garb.
Its (Gods) festival and we came to have fun, said Karmjit Gill, who wore a brilliant blue and silver salwar kameez with a matching chunni or dupatta. This is the biggest one (parade), and I like all the floats and that people get together.
Nav Kang, 15, from British Columbia, Canada, had a slightly different reason for walking in the parade. She had come down with 20 other Canadian Sikhs to be the last float in the parade. They walked alongside a black van which bore a sign with a website address: www.waheguru.ca.
Kang and a number of others dressed in salwar kameez, which consists of a pair of trousers and a tunic, were passing out free CDs to people along the parade route.
We want to spread the knowledge of Sikhism, she said. A lot of people ask about us and take the CDs.
She marveled at the differences between the parades in Yuba City and Surrey. Its amazing to see that its so big and so open, she said. There are a lot of people here who wear turbans (as a sign of their faith).
Kang said she also learned more about Sikh history by just looking at some of the floats in the Yuba City parade. One float had images, names and dates of notable gurus in Sikh history painted on one side of the truck.
Rae Lee, 63, of Magalia had come with her husband, Paul Lee, 65, to watch the parade for the first time. They were enjoying Popsicles that they got from a Mexican ice cream vendor.
We like learning about other cultures, she said, while standing near the first turn for the parade. Its amazing. I think its a huge gift they are giving to the city.
The couple said they enjoyed the colors and the sounds from the parade. You definitely think youre in India, said Paul Lee.
Editor's note: An earlier version of this story misidentified the type of apparel worn by women at the Yuba City Sikh parade. They were wearing the salwar kameez, which consists of a pair of trousers and a tunic. The scarf that is often worn with the outfit is called chunni or dupatta. Story updated at 12:40 p.m. Monday, Nov. 4.

This was posted on Bruinzone, and I thought I'd forward it to all the BN folks, as it's an excellent insight into Coach Howland.
What stands out to me is Ben Howland's candor. He really is excellent with the media and with other outlets. It bothers me that, in addition to being a control freak, other slanderous attacks against him include him being mean/etc. I cannot remember a coach ever being a "nice" guy. That's what assistant coaches are for. The point remains that Howland obviously cares about his players, past and present.
Moving on to building a team, he mentions support of the Administration, including the ability to hire additional coaches that UCLA had never had before.
Whom you work for is particularly critical, said the coach, who said he was "very blessed" to have Athletic Director Dan Guerrero as a boss. When Howland arrived at UCLA in 2003, he received Guerrero's blessing to hire an academic counselor for both the men's and women's basketball programs, a video coordinator and a strength/conditioning coach, none of which UCLA previously had.
As mentioned many times, this sort of support should have been there from day one, but the fact that Ben was allowed to do that is crucial. Game-tape review became one of the major reasons our team was so well prepared heading into the three final fours. I remember us even having tape on Belmont! It's very useful and for a detail-oriented coach like Ben, it's invaluable.
He also mentions how difficult it is to recruit in this climate.
Third — to no one's great surprise — Howland mentioned that talent is extremely important. He drew laughs when he said that he is a much better coach when he has good talent. "At our level, recruiting is everything," he said. "The greatest thing about the job when Coach Wooden was here was that players stayed for four years. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Walton were here for four years. That would never happen today. It's just impossible." To compensate, Howland said he finds himself recruiting more and more players in case some of them decide to leave early. Making the task even more difficult is finding players who are coachable, willing to work hard, and able to handle the academic rigors of UCLA.
I think too many UCLA fans regarding basketball recruiting like football recruiting, saying we need to lock up every talent possible at every position to be competitive. This is just no the case. One recruit can have a major impact on a program, as I believe Josh Smith is doing right now. He's allowing us to move Reeves to his natural 4 position, and allowing Brendan Lane to come off the bench instead of playing the four, or having an inexperienced Stover start at center, which might be tough. Smith is a program-changer, though not on the level that KLove, RW, DC, and AA were.
Finally, and most glaring to me, he mentions work ethic and competition. This is something I wish our football coaches appreciated more.
To improve the mental and physical toughness of their players, Howland and his staff make practices competitive. Every drill has a competition assigned to it, and there is always a winner and a loser. The coaches keep stats so that if a player wonders why he's not playing more, they have something to back up their decision. "Like the day before yesterday, our three leading rebounders in practice were Tyler Honeycutt, Reeves Nelson and Malcolm Lee. Those happen to be our three best players. There's a direct correlation, and I can point to it," Howland said. "There's always an accountability every day, in everything that you're doing."
This sort of thing is crucial to driving people to not only personal but competitive success. If you make practices the hardest competition that players will face, then a game will pale in comparison. This motivates athletes who want to be the best, want to play in the NBA. If they can't start, how will they get there? This is why BH is our coach. He is all about details and all about proving yourself. I wish he had used this more on Dragovic. However, this kind of approach is very telling as to where our success stems from.

Support Senate Resolution 20 to Provide Real Protections for Georgia Taxpayers!
An Open Letter to the Georgia State Senate
February 23, 2011
Dear Senator:
On behalf of the National Taxpayers Union's (NTU)'s nearly 8,300 members in Georgia, I strongly urge you to support Senate Resolution 20 (SR 20), which would create a limitation on tax and spending increases in the state constitution. SR 20 would provide vital protections for overburdened Georgia taxpayers.
For the last few years, Georgia's families and small businesses have struggled to get by in this down economy with unemployment hovering around ten percent. Meanwhile, the state has deficits in excess of $1 billion. Georgians are looking to their state government to help ease their burden by keeping taxes low and government spending manageable, and to allow the economy to flourish. One of the best ways to ensure that the burden on hard-working Georgians does not increase is to adopt a tax and expenditure limitation.
SR 20 would allow the state's budget to grow at the rate of increases in inflation plus population from year to year. The bill also provides that any excess revenue collected would go to funding spending increases in education due to increases in enrollment and then to shortfall reserve fund, which shall be 15% of the previous year's budget. Any remaining excess revenue the rest would be returned to the taxpayer.
The fact of the matter is that small government tends to keep tax rates low, which allows economies to flourish and the quality of life to improve. Smaller government also tends to be less burdensome financially. Compare states Indiana and Utah, which have weathered the recession reasonably well, to states like Illinois and California, which have not. Tax and expenditure limitations like SR 20 encourage fiscal prudence in government and prioritize spending decisions. By prioritizing spending, Georgia will have to make the decisions about what it can afford to do rather than doing more than what is in its means, sparing Georgians the hardship of higher taxes.
Georgians are counting you to look after the interests of taxpayers. Therefore, I urge you to support SR 20.

By Linda Chamberlain, PhD, MPH
This issue of Family Violence Prevention and Health Practice addresses intimate partner violence (IPV) within the context of home visitation. We solicited reports from colleagues in the field to share their experiences, perspectives, and lessons learned. This issue features brief reports from four diverse programs that offer home visitation services: DOVE, a multi-site, collaborative project between Johns Hopkins University and the University of Missouri-Columbia, to reduce maternal and infant/toddler exposure to IPV; Arizona Healthy Families, a paraprofessional home visitation initiative to reduce child abuse and neglect that is addressing IPV with families; a demonstration project with the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence to enhance services for children and youth exposed to IPV through home- and community-visits, and a demonstration project to reduce IPV among pregnant and postpartum women in Multnomah County, Oregon.
One-third or more of home-visited families have disclosed current or past IPV (Duggan et al, 2004; El-Kamary et al, 2004; Fergusson et al, 2005; Olds et al, 2004). An evaluation of the impact of IPV on home visitation services by Eckenrode and colleagues (2000) suggests that IPV reduces the effectiveness of home visitation services. For the few studies that have evaluated the effects of home visitation on IPV, the results are conflicting. One model, the Nurse-Family Partnership, documented a reduction in IPV among nurse-visited families at follow-up occurring two years after the intervention had ended (Olds et al, 2004), while other studies, including an evaluation of another Nurse-Family Partnership site, have reported no impact of home visitation on IPV (Duggan et al, 2004; Eckenrode et al, 2000; Ferguson et al, 2006; Olds et al, 2004). By clicking here, you can review a series of literature tables that I have compiled on IPV and home visitation.
My interest in this topic stems from several years of work in the field. Rebecca Levenson, Senior Policy Analyst at the FVPF, and I have provided technical assistance on IPV to more than thirty perinatal home visitation programs nationwide through a special initiative with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration the Health Resource and Services Administration (HRSA). From Hilo, Hawaii to New York City to Mobile, Alabama, we traversed the U.S. over a two-year period conducting needs assessments, providing training and technical assistance, and learning about the complexities of developing a coordinated response to IPV for home-visited families. This extraordinary opportunity spawned an enduring interest and involvement in this topic.
Towards the close of the HRSA initiative, I was asked to work with Healthy Families Alaska (HFAK) on developing a coordinated response to IPV. HFAK offered home visitation services to at-risk families that were identified around the time of pregnancy. An external evaluation of AKHF pin-pointed the lack of a systematic response to IPV as a leading barrier to the success of the program. During the two years I worked with AKHF, I observed key issues that were consistent with my experiences of working with other home visitation programs. Many home visitors had received basic training on IPV. What they needed was more hands-on, skill-based training that provides the tools and strategies to integrate assessment and intervention into home visits. I found that incorporating early childhood exposure to violence and traumatic brain development was an important training strategy to help home visitors recognize the impact of IPV on the whole family and see the broader range of opportunities for intervention and prevention.
Home visitors expressed their frustrations with assessment tools that were designed for the clinical setting versus home visits. Standard questions were often too confrontational with clients, and were problematic in terms of translation and culturally relevancy. Certain practices such as conducting assessments with all family members present raised major barriers to asking clients about IPV. A consistent theme was that building trust with clients was the first priority and that it may not be appropriate to ask about IPV during the first few visits. It also became apparent that many home visitors were struggling with their own histories of childhood victimization and/or IPV.
My recommendations for AKHF included:
We have continued to pursue this complex topic. Feedback from focus groups with home visitors in Oregon and California echoed our earlier experiences in Alaska and across the nation. Compelled to delve deeper, we organized a pre-conference on home visitation and IPV at the Family Violence Prevention Fund's 2007 conference on health and IPV in San Francisco. Leading home visitation experts and evaluators, including Drs. David Olds, Harriet MacMillan, Phyllis Sharps, and Anne Duggan, shared their latest findings and promising practices on IPV and home visitation.
We are committed to advancing knowledge and practices on addressing IPV within the context of home visitation. As part of a joint initiative between the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs and the Family Violence Prevention Fund to address IPV as a perinatal health disparity, we developed a pilot assessment tool that home visitation programs can use to evaluate and track their progress in developing a coordinated response to IPV. You can download this tool by clicking here. We look forward to your feedback on this issue and suggestions of thought-provoking, practical topics for future issues that are relevant to the work you do.

Carrowkeel Megalithic Cemetery
Carrowkeel is a Neolithic passage tomb cemetery in the south of County Sligo, near Boyle, County Roscommon. An Cheathrú Chaol in Irish means 'the Narrow Quarter'. Circumstantial Carbon 14 dating places the tombs at between 5400 and 5100 years old (3400 to 3100 BC), so that they predate the Pyramids on Egypt's Giza plateau by 500-800 years. Carrowkeel is one of the big four passage tomb cemeteries in Ireland (the other three are Brú na Bóinne, Lough Crew, and Carrowmore). Carrowkeel is set on high ground above Lough Arrow, and the tombs seem to be oriented towards the area of Cuil Irra, Knocknarea and Carrowmore. There are fourteen passage tombs in Carrowkeel. Some can be entered by crawling through a narrow passage. Six more passage tombs are located close by in the Keshcorran complex. A particular type of crude pottery found in passage tombs has been titled Carrowkeel Ware, having first been recorded in the Carrowkeel Monuments.
Close to Lough Arrow and just north of Carrowkeel is another, apparently related, giant passage tomb, Heapstown Cairn. This is part of the legendary Moytura, site of battles between the Tuatha Dé Danann, the ancient gods of Ireland, and the demonic Fomorians.
The mountain range containing Carrowkeel is called the Bricklieve Mountains, meaning the speckled mountains in Irish, a possible reference to their appearance when more quartz rock survived on the outside of the cairns, causing them to sparkle in the sun. The tombs were opened by R.A.S. Macalister in 1911, accompanied by Robert Lloyd Praeger and Edmund Clarence Richard Armstrong. Although Macalister was acquainted with contemporary archaeological methods, he acted hastily at Carrowkeel and his removal and disturbance of the chamber floors have hampered investigators who followed him. In 'The Way That I Went', 1937, Praeger gives an eerie account of the first entry into one of the Carrowkeel monuments.
"I lit three candles and stood awhile, to let my eyes accustom themselves to the dim light. There was everything, just as the last Bronze Age man (sic) had left it, three to four thousand years before. A light brownish dust covered all... There beads of stone, bone implements made from Red Deer antlers, and many fragments of much decayed pottery. On little raised recesses in the wall were flat stones, on which reposed the calcinated bones of young children."
A 2004 excavation by Professor Stefan Bergh, NUIG, of hut sites on the slopes of Mullaghafarna - close to cairn O and P, Carrowkeel - promises to shed light on the builders of these monuments. Visitors to the site are asked not to climb on the cairns, or damage the monuments in any way, and not to take anything in or out of these ancient tombs. Some parts of the site contain deep crevices, holes and cliff faces.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- The Republican congressional candidate in a liberal Minneapolis district wants one last debate after Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison called him a "low-life scumbag" in a debate last week.
GOP candidate Chris Fields held a Capitol news conference Tuesday to accuse the three-term incumbent of ducking a final debate in north Minneapolis.
Ellison told reporters after a separate, unrelated Capitol news conference that the debate is off. He says it wasn't going to illuminate the issues.
The candidates have debated three times. They last met on KFAI community radio last Thursday, where Ellison lashed out at Fields as a tense encounter devolved into a spat over personal family matters.
Ellison apologized in a statement later that day, saying his incivility was "beneath my personal standard as a public official."

Another tack: Musings on skillful salami-slicers
The Arabs are matchless masters at deploying the deceit, whereas delusional broad-minded Jews voluntarily cast themselves as the ultimate dupes.
Ceausescu exhorted his protégé to 'pretend to brea
Photo: Courtesy
In a recent Tack I wrote that "while Israel serially drew back from its positions... Arab orientations during all that time hadn't budged a fraction of a millimeter. Their only modifications were tactical. Instead of eradicating Israel in one fell swoop (which they didn't do only because they couldn't), they settled on slicing Israel's salami bit by bit to deprive it of strategic depth, render it more vulnerable to predations and erode it by demonization and demoralization. The basic premise remains that at most the existence of the unwanted 'Zionist entity' is admitted temporarily de facto, that this entity must shrink and that Arabs have a right to deluge it."
I was surprised – taken aback, more accurately – by the reams of mail this one paragraph generated. What seems obvious to folks with even a modest measure of historical memory cannot clearly be taken for granted in our postmodern times. Many readers vehemently demanded corroborative information. For some in this day and age, the terminology itself appeared esoteric.
It therefore becomes necessary to explain that the essence of salami-slicing in the figurative sense is small, seemingly innocuous and disconnected actions which, taken in isolation from each other, seem inconsequential. Embezzlers, thieves and con artists, for instance, are adept at shaving off apparently paltry amounts in regularly repeated transactions. Initially nobody notices the minor losses. Over time, however, these accumulate to considerable sums.
IN POLITICS, the salami technique was nefariously used by the Soviets to install communist regimes in post-World War II Eastern Europe. The new overlords started dominating the politics of countries under their control slice by slice, until the entire sausage was devoured. The salami indeed entered our political lexicon courtesy of Hungary's Stalinist puppet Matyas Rakosi who referred to the means employed by his party in the late 1940s as
– salami tactics. Rakosi maneuvered his opposition to slice off its rightist flank and then its center. Soon only communist collaborators remained.
It's therefore particularly enlightening to realize that it was none other than the Soviets, in this case via their Romanian proxies, who intensively instructed Yasser Arafat and his henchmen throughout the 1970s in the indisputable benefits of calculated salami-slicing.
In his 1987 book
Red Horizons
, ex-chief of Romania's Securitate (secret services) Ion Mihai Pacepa exposes in detail the Moscow-sponsored conspiracy to ingratiate Arafat with the West and "promote him from terrorist to statesman."
Pacepa was personally instrumental in reinventing Arafat and the so-called Palestinian struggle as de rigueur revolutionary.
In 1978 Pacepa became the highest-ranking Soviet-bloc defector ever. The Americans spent three years debriefing him, so plentiful and valuable was his data. Inter alia Pacepa revealed that Romanian despot Nicolae Ceausescu was entrusted by the Kremlin with face-lifting Arafat's image and inculcating in him "more palatable tactics."
Ceausescu also arranged a monthly stipend of $200,000 for Arafat, helping him amass more than $300 million (when the dollar was incomparably mightier) in Swiss stashes.
Page after intriguing
Red Horizons
page is crammed with Ceausescu's exhortations to his protégé to "pretend to break with terrorism. The West would love it... Pretend over and over... It's like cocaine... The West may even become addicted to you and your PLO."
How prophetic.
Ceausescu offered Arafat respectability "to erase with one stroke all American pretexts for isolating you, brother... What I want from you is help to show that I'm the only one with influence over you."
By manipulating Arafat, Ceausescu sought to bolster his own image as an indispensable mediator. He aimed to earn himself favored status in Europe and America, and even a Nobel Prize.
Not that Arafat was easy to convince. Even perceived moderation could tarnish his patriotic credentials. Ceausescu reassured him: "You can keep as many operatives as you want, so long as they aren't publicly connected with your name. They could mount endless operations around the world, while your name and 'government' remain pristine and unspoiled, ready for negotiation."
Pacepa carefully uncovers the elaborate deception honed in Bucharest and executed with meticulous malice. What makes it credible is that it's not post factum disclosure, padded with hindsight wisdom. His tip-offs about the premeditated perfidy saw print six years pre-Oslo.
Pacepa recounts Arafat's earliest successes in marketing his supposedly reformed persona. First Bruno Kreisky and Willy Brandt were conned. Arafat learned to slice the salami expertly by the time Shimon Peres shoved Israel under the PLO blade at Oslo, crowning Arafat's sinister pose with success beyond his dreams.
Most astounding of all is the fact that Arafat took little trouble to disguise his aims. Already in his May 10, 1994 address to Muslims in South Africa, Arafat proudly crowed that Oslo was a ruse, like the fraudulent seventh century Kureish truce to lull the defiant Jewish tribe into complacency until the opportunity for attack presented itself and the insubordinate Jews were slaughtered.
IF THAT wasn't an obvious enough salami-slicing recipe, things were more unmistakably spelled out on January 30, 1996 (well into the Oslo fiasco), when the much-lamented "prince of peace" addressed Arab diplomats in Stockholm. The Nobel Peace laureate judged that the "peace process" must inevitably result in Israel's downfall.
"We Palestinians will take over everything, including all of Jerusalem," Arafat exulted. "Peres and Beilin already promised us half of Jerusalem."
According to Arafat, Israel's collapse hinged on "PLO efforts to split Israel psychologically into two camps... We plan to eliminate the State of Israel and establish a pure Palestinian state. We'll make life unbearable for Jews by psychological warfare and a massive influx of Arabs."
In other words, Arafat promised to slice the salami. His cultivated assistant/understudy was Mahmoud Abbas, who now dons Arafat's mantle in Ramallah and like him dishes up salami slices to a ravenous world, while posturing simultaneously as the pitiable underdog and the valiant altruist.
There was never much resonance to Pacepa's revelations about the origins of the Palestinian stratagem. Even pre-Barack Obama the international community didn't care to know. In the ultra-radicalized Obama era, salami-slicing is elevated to a sanctioned sacrament.
It's therefore more important than ever for the shrinking ranks of individuals with still-healthy suspicions of overly skillful salami-slicers to recall that Pacepa – who dealt with more than one man's share of unsavory characters – considered Arafat the dirtiest rogue he encountered, "lying in every sentence and denying what he promised the day before."
In time, Pacepa stressed, he "felt a compulsion to take a shower whenever kissed by Arafat, or even after just shaking his hand."

Rhino Barriers™:
A Great Product Line to Add in these Uncertain Times
How can you make more money in less time?
The answer is to sell more services to the same customers and make them feel more secure in the process.
Rhino Barriers™ are a great addition to any portable restroom company that services large special events. Special events often need to divert vehicular and pedestrian traffic, block parking areas and control crowds in many situations. Rhino barriers are the perfect solution and you can even have fencing or advertising banners mounted on them! What a great add-on service to provide your event customers and a great revenue source for you.
In the wake of September 11th, these types of crash resistant barriers are also needed at government buildings, airports, schools, military bases, power plants and any other facility concerned about safety or security.
Rhino barriers only weigh 120 lbs. empty and can be quickly deployed in any situation. When filled with water, the barriers weigh up to 1,000 lbs.; and with the patented interlocking hinge-pin system, they create a line that is virtually impenetrable.
Other applications include road construction sites, parade routes, racetracks, truck terminals, stadiums, ports and many more. Check us out at www.rhinobarriers.com or call the PolyJohn office for more details.

Football is a Feminist Issue
TheChels took the time to write a bit about Dr. Eva Carneiro and some of the treatment she receives from Chelsea fans on the whole, so I'm certainly going to take the time to link to it for all of you. This is an issue that's bothered all of the writers here at WAGNH for some time, as whenever she comes onto the pitch to deal with an injured player, some feel it necessary to make comments about her. Yes, Dr. Carneiro is an attractive female. That doesn't make it appropriate to turn the game threads here into a discussion about her looks. Please take the time to read this, and be aware of this issue on gameday.
