Obama should seize his momentJanuary 17,2013If election campaigns are supposed to be an exercise in coming to grips with our biggest problems, then the one we just went through was a dismal failure. Our only real solution a strategy to reignite consistent growth so we can narrow our income gaps and lift the middle class never got a serious airing. Instead, each side was focused on how to secure a bigger slice of a shrinking pie for its own base. This lousy campaign produced the worst of all outcomes: President Barack Obama won on a platform that had little do with our core problems and is only a small part of the solution raising taxes on the wealthy so he has little incentive to rethink his strategy. And the Republicans did not lose badly enough they held the House to have to fully rethink their strategy. It does not bode well.
In his book The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth, Harvard economist Benjamin Friedman argues that periods of economic growth have been essential to American political progress; periods of economic prosperity were periods of greater social, political and religious harmony and tolerance. On Sunday, The Times Annie Lowrey wrote a piece quoting Friedman, who wondered aloud whether were not now entering a reverse cycle, in which our absence of growth is delivering political paralysis, and the political paralysis preserves the absence of growth.
I think hes right and that the only way to break out of this deadly cycle is with extraordinary leadership. Republicans and Democrats would have to govern in just the opposite way they ran their campaigns by offering bold plans that not only challenged the others base but also their own and thereby mobilized the center, a big majority, behind their agenda, to break the deadlock. If either party does that, not only will it win the day but the country will win as well.
What would that look like? If the Republican Party had a brain it would give up on its debt-ceiling gambit and announce instead that it wants to open negotiations immediately with Obama on the basis of his own deficit commission, the Simpson-Bowles plan. That would at least make the GOP a serious opposition party again with a platform that might actually appeal outside its base and challenge the president in a healthy way. But the GOP would have to embrace the tax reforms and spending cuts in Simpson-Bowles first. Fat chance. And thats a pity.
As for Obama, if he really wants to lead, he will have to finally trust the American people with the truth. Id love to see him use his Jan. 21 Inaugural Address and his Feb. 12 State of the Union message as a one-two punch to do just that offer a detailed, honest diagnosis and then a detailed, honest prescription.
On the diagnosis side, Obama needs to explain to Americans the world in which theyre now living. Its a world in which the increasing velocity of globalization and the information technology revolution are reshaping every job, workplace and industry. As a result, the mantra that if you just work hard and play by rules you should expect a middle-class lifestyle is no longer operable. Today you need to work harder and smarter, and learn and relearn faster and longer to be in the middle class. The high-wage, middle-skilled job is a thing of the past. Todays high-wage or decent-wage jobs all require higher skills, passion or curiosity. Governments job is to help provide citizens with as many lifelong learning opportunities as possible to hone such skills.
In the State of the Union, Id love to see Obama lay out a detailed plan for tax reform, spending cuts and investments to meet the real scale of our problem and spur economic growth. Well get much more bang for our buck by deciding now what were going to do in all three areas and signaling markets that we are putting in place a truly balanced approach but gradually phasing it in. If you tell investors and savers that were going to put our fiscal house in order with a credible plan, but one that is gradually phased in, all the money sitting on the sidelines paralyzed by uncertainty will get off the sidelines and well have a real stimulus.
As for investment, Id love to see the president launch us on an aspirational journey. My choice would be to connect every home and business in America to the Internet at 1 gigabit per second, or about 200 times faster than our current national household average, in five years. In an age when mining big data will be a huge industry, when online lifelong learning will be a vital necessity, and when we cant stimulate our way to prosperity but have to invent our way there, no project would be more relevant.
I still believe that Americas rich and the middle classes would pay more taxes and trim entitlements if they thought it was for a plan that was fair, would truly address our long-term fiscal imbalances and would set America on a journey of renewal that would ensure our kids have a crack at the American dream. Then again, I may be wrong. Maybe my baby-boomer generation really does intend to eat it all and leave our kids a ticking debt bomb. If only we had a second-term president, unencumbered by ever having to run again, who was ready to test what really bold leadership might produce.

CATEGORIES Action, Animation, Comedy, New Releases, Disney, Fandom, Remakes and Sequels, Movies, New Releases, CinematicalHave you ever heard a voice in an animated film and then spent the rest of the movie trying to figure out the name of the actor? It happened to me the other night when I saw Toy Story 3, with not one, but two actors! Not only was it embarrassing, it drove me nuts, especially since they're actors whose work I've always enjoyed. (Don't worry: no spoilers here for a wonderful, warm, clever, still character-based action / comedy.)
Even without perusing the cast list, the lead actors are familiar: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Don Rickles, Estelle Harris, John Ratzenberger, Wallace Shawn, and Joan Cusack. While I feel strongly that cartoons don't need celebrity voices anymore, especially those "stars" cast more for their name recognition than their acting ability, Pixar has avoided this trap for the most part. Sure, Tom Hanks is a huge movie star, but he sounds like Woody, an old-time cowboy. Tim Allen is not the up-and-coming star he was in 1995, but he's got the macho bluster down pat, perfect for the supremely confident Buzz Lightyear. Don Rickles is, arguably, the sole example in the three movies where the actor's persona takes precedence over the character.
Toy Story 3 features stellar voice work, again, and showcases actors whose voices bring the characters to life, even in smaller roles: Jodi Benson (Ariel in The Little Mermaid) as the helium-voiced Barbie, Teddy Newton as the mysterious Chatter Telephone and Blake Clark as Slinky Dog (originally played by the late Jim Varney). But I had to look up two or three to figure out who played who. What about you? Have you ever been driven to distraction because you heard a voice in a movie that you couldn't place?

About Us
Since 1954, Canterbury School has been dedicated to providing a superior, nurturing education for young children. An independent, non-profit private school, located in the Morningside-Emory area of Atlanta, Canterbury School offers a variety of developmental programs for children ages 6 weeks to 8 years old.
The Canterbury School provides challenging academics combined with a deep sense of community and a caring atmosphere for children. Children are respected as unique individuals, and they develop a sense of respect for others and an appreciation for diversity.
At Canterbury School, children experience optimum social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth through a stimulating environment, dedicated teachers, and an enriching curriculum.
Canterbury School is dedicated to providing a superior quality early childhood education to our young children. Canterbury's emphasis is on providing small class sizes, intellectual stimulation coordinated with child's play, child-centered activities based on experimentation with materials of the child's own choosing, and a nurturing environment that promotes self confidence, respect for self and others, and life-long learning.
Canterbury encourages the enrollment of multicultural families from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. We do not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, creed, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, or family structure.
At the core of our philosophy, we believe that children should enjoy their childhood and early learning experiences. Happy and healthy children will become happy and healthy adults. For that reason, every day at Canterbury School brings new enriching learning experiences. The early childhood years are essential for building a solid foundation for social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development. Part of that foundation should be a life-long love of learning that children will embrace throughout their lives.
Early childhood is the period from birth to age eight, in which children think and learn differently from older children or adults. This time is a meaningful phase of life that should be valued and respected. At Canterbury School, we view children as naturally curious, creative, and competent individuals, who should have a hand in the direction of their own learning. As a result, we use a mixture of both child-directed and teacher-directed learning activities. We believe that a child's work is play. A highly qualified teacher must be there to support their learning by being a keen observer, arranging a stimulating environment, and providing hands-on, developmentally appropriate activities and materials.
Since each child has individual differences and develops at his/her own pace, we strive to meet each child at their own developmental level. We challenge each child to meet his/her full potential by providing an adaptable environment and flexible curriculum. In this way, children are not encouraged to fit into a one-size-fits-all mold.

Veterans gather in Bay Ridge on Pearl Harbor anniversary
BAY RIDGE - Local veterans gathered in Bay Ridge today for a somber ceremony to commemorate the 72nd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
On Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese navy launched a surprise attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. More than 2,000 Americans were killed.
The Brooklyn residents who came out today say it's a time to reflect on what happened on the "day which will live in infamy," and also to honor the servicemen and women who protect the nation every day.

The ceremony ended with the tossing of a wreath into the water to honor the victims of the Pearl Harbor attack.

A family is seeking closure as Richmond Police continue to search for their loved one's killer more than a year after his death. Sylvester Jones was gunned down while he was just walking on the city's north side last March.
A knock on the door in March of last year turned Sherica Jones' world upside down. Richmond Police detectives were the bearers of bad news. Her father, Sylvester Jones, had been shot and killed.
"I was in shock because I'm like I just talked to him just that morning and now he's gone," she recalled.
Sherica describes her father as a joker who loved to laugh and a man who was getting his life back on track after time in jail for minor crimes. He was finally trying to make things right with his family.
"He has a granddaughter," Sherica said. "She's four. He has another grandchild on the way in October and it's sad that he hasn't spent any time with them. He will never meet his grandson."
Detective Anthony Coates says Jones was walking from the store on Old Brook Road near North Avenue around ten o'clock on March 3rd.
"A single gunshot was heard," Coates recalled. "Sylvester was seen running from around the building holding his gut and he collapsed."
Police believe this is a robbery that went bad but they aren't sure if anything was taken. They think the shot was fired and the suspects didn't have any time to go through Jones' pockets.
He later died at the hospital.
"It was just cowardice and senseless to rob this individual who barely had anything himself," Coates added.
Police say Jones was last seen walking with one or two men. Now, investigators need the public's help to identify those people and get any information on who murdered Sylvester Jones.
"If it was your father, your uncle, brother, whatever you would want to know," Sherica Jones explained.
If you know anything, you can call Detective Coates at 646-0729 or Crime Stoppers at 780-1000.

Ending a Long-Term Drug Treatment
"I've been taking Dexedrine since being diagnosed with ADD nine years ago. Will I be harmed if I stop the drug?"
If you've been taking the drug that long, you should taper off slowly by decreasing the dose over time. If you were to stop abruptly, you might feel agitated for several days. Discuss your decision to stop taking Dexedrine - and the logistics of decreasing the dose - with the physician who prescribed it.
Larry Silver, M.D., is the author of Dr. Larry Silver's Advice to Parents on AD/HD and The Misunderstood Child: Understanding and Coping with Your Child's Learning Disabilities. He is also a clinical professor of psychiatry at Georgetown Medical Center in Washington, D.C.

on a comment on Can Liberty University Ban College Democrats? over 5 years ago
It's in the law: If Liberty claims tax-exempt status, they "are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign .." I think that prohibits Liberty U from approving and funding the Republican-affiliated group while banning the Democratic Party. I don't understand how that is a "half-baked accusatory question."
on a comment on Can Liberty University Ban College Democrats? over 5 years ago
I'm not a lawyer, but I used to work for a 501 C3 and if Liberty claims tax-exempt status they can't endorse a political party. It could be an interesting case if the IRS decided to review their status.
As Wikipedia reports:
Organizations described in section 501(c)(3) are prohibited from conducting political campaign activities to intervene in elections to public office. [1] The Internal Revenue Service website elaborates upon this prohibition as follows:
"Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. Contributions to political campaign funds or public statements of position (verbal or written) made on behalf of the organization in favor of or in opposition to any candidate for public office clearly violate the prohibition against political campaign activity. Violating this prohibition may result in denial or revocation of tax-exempt status and the imposition of certain excise taxes.
"Certain activities or expenditures may not be prohibited depending on the facts and circumstances. For example, certain voter education activities (including presenting public forums and publishing voter education guides) conducted in a non-partisan manner do not constitute prohibited political campaign activity. In addition, other activities intended to encourage people to participate in the electoral process, such as voter registration and get-out-the-vote drives, would not be prohibited political campaign activity if conducted in a non-partisan manner.
"On the other hand, voter education or registration activities with evidence of bias that (a) would favor one candidate over another; (b) oppose a candidate in some manner; or (c) have the effect of favoring a candidate or group of candidates, will constitute prohibited participation or intervention.
"The Internal Revenue Service provides resources to exempt organizations and the public to help them understand the prohibition. As part of its examination program, the IRS also monitors whether organizations are complying with the prohibition."

Apparently Vermont legislators were concerned that Iowa would become the "Gay Marriage Mecca," as Rep. Steve King (R-Western Iowa) put it, after the Iowa Supreme Court ruled last week that gay marriages were legal. Iowa will have to step up their game to keep that title.

comment on a post Could Clinton or Edwards have beaten Obama in Iowa? over 5 years ago
There were plenty of reasons to expect a big turnout for Obama before the caucuses. He attracted large and enthusiastic crowds with crossover appeal to independents and moderate Republicans. He was helped by the proximity of his Chicago headquarters, which deployed along with the multitude of volunteers to practically drag supporters out of their homes and make sure they got to the caucuses. Caucuses reward the best organization and the Obama campaign clearly was the best organized and best motivated.

Empty pub row turns nasty
10:10am Saturday 10th December 2011 in News By Tom Jennings
TESCO was accused of using "bullying" tactics to force Oxford City Council into approving a planned store in Abingdon Road.
The council deferred two planning applications from the retail giant on Thursday to build a store in the former Fox and Hounds public house.
Speaking at the meeting, Tesco's planning consultant Matthew Roe said if the council rejected the applications, the company could build a store anyway.
He said: "The legal position with regards to the proposals is that the building as it stands can be used for retail without the need for planning permission."
He said there was also no restriction on the opening hours, meaning Tesco could open a 24/7 store without planning permission.
West area planning committee chairman Oscar Van Nooijen, below, described the tactics as "bullying", adding: "I am not convinced the line you are taking is a helpful strategy."
Councillors put back the applications to get more information from Oxfordshire County Council about the proposed store's impact on traffic.
The first application was to demolish the pub and construct a three-storey building, with the shop on the ground floor and a one-bedroom and two two-bedroom flats above. It would also include nine car parking spaces for the shop, as well seven for the flats.
This followed a previous application for a store, four flats and 16 retail car parking spaces, which Tesco lost at a public inquiry in July.
At Thursday night's planning meeting, councillors said the new plans could be "dangerous", with drivers needing to cross traffic to turn right into or out of the site.
Councillor Bob Price said: "It is a substantial improvement on the previous design and it is now much more attractive.
"But I would not like to grant permission for a facility that would add to danger of people who use it, and the danger would be much greater."
Tesco's second application was to use the current building, create a disabled access ramp and install a cash machine and signs.
Neighbour Andy Garlick, speaking at the meeting, said: "I am in full support of the proposals. I was aware of the application when I purchased my property 18 months ago. It will create better shopping for local residents"
Postmaster and owner of nearby Nisa Local Mohammad Afzal, who attended the meeting, said: "I am pleased the councillors stood up for themselves."
After the Tesco decisions and as the agent for the next planning application was about to speak, Mr Van Nooijen said: "I am sure he will not try to bully us as the previous agent did."
Tesco corporate affairs manager Simon Petar said: "Our proposals have attracted significant local support.
"We know many want the convenience of being able to walk to a local store."
A date for the next time the plans will be discussed has yet to be set.

Brain implant headphones
In the future people will be able to listen to music from their mp3-players without headphones.
Mp3-players play a big part in modern day people's lives. These devices, although constantly getting smaller and more convenient to carry around, always require the use of headphones in order to actually be able to listen to something. Headphones can cause a lot of hassle: the lines get tangled up when the mp3-player is put away after use, they are prone to breaking down and thus causing extra costs when you constantly need to buy new ones, and so on.
Although currently there exist different kinds of bluetooth headphones, in the future it will be possible to install some sort of implant directly into your brain that will allow you to receive sound from your mp3-player wirelessly. This will remove all need to wear headphones and worry about whether they will break down today or tomorrow.
Once the mp3-player of your choice has been attuned to the implant in your brain, it will also be possible to change volume, tracks and other settings (e.g. sound equalizer) by the power of thought.
This technology will also enable the user to block all or some of the environmental sounds, like the noise caused by traffic, if the listener prefers so, removing all need to use ear plugs, even when not listening to music.
Opportunity: No more tangled up headphone lines yaaay!
Threat: Headphone sales will plummet.

Don't give up CARD FANS, we are still on the collision course with a National Championship. The only variable is whether it will be 2013 or 2014. The Climb starts this week...and no, it is not the same climb sung about by Miley Cyrus, who apparently fell off the mountain on her way up...but that's another story.
Stat of the Week: The LOUISVILLE CARDINALS have outscored their opponents in the first half this year by a margin of 127-3.
There are now 17 undefeated teams in the nation, and 5 teams with one loss in the SEC who are currently in the Top 25. That's 22 total teams in those categories, down from 25 last week. Let's keep that list dwindling! Let's take a look at this week's UNDEFEATED list:
ACC: Clemson, Florida State, Miami
Big 12: Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Baylor
AAC: LOUISVILLE, Houston
Pac 12: Stanford, Oregon, UCLA
Big 10: Michigan, Ohio State,
SEC: Alabama, Missouri
Mountain West: Fresno State
MAC: Northern Illinois
As to the one-loss SEC teams in the Top 25, they are Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, LSU, and Texas A&M.
Here's the entire schedule this week for these 22 teams...
#1 Alabama at Kentucky
#2 Oregon at Washington
#3 Ohio State---BYE
Boston College at #4 Clemson
#5 Stanford at Utah
#6 Florida State---BYE
Rutgers at #8 LOUISVILLE
#9 Texas A&M at Ole Miss
#10 Oklahoma vs. Texas
#17 Florida at #11 LSU
#12 South Carolina at Arkansas
Cal at #13 UCLA
#14 Miami---BYE
#15 Baylor @Kansas State
#16 Michigan at Penn State
Iowa State at #21 Texas Tech
#22 Fresno State--- BYE
Akron at #23 Northern Illinois
Memphis at Houston
My UPSET SPECIALS this week:
Missouri over Georgia
Washington over Oregon
Utah over Stanford
Florida over LSU
And let's take the Ole Miss Rebels over Texas A&M
Yes... I will keep picking upsets most likely to help the CARDS...Eventually the upsets will start to happen.
I will be in attendance at this week's game, and I expect the CARDS to put up over 50 on this nationally televised Thursday night game....Let's go with 52-13.
Worst case scenario when CARDS win: The teams above them will all win, but nobody will jump them this time, leaving the CARDS at #8 in the polls.
Best case scenario when CARDS win: Oregon, Stanford, and Georgia all lose, moving the CARDS to #5. Yes, I know those would be big upsets....
Most likely scenario when CARDS win: One of the above upsets will in fact happen this week, bumping the CARDS to # 7 when the next polls are released. And they will hit at least # 6 the following week, when the loser of Florida State-Clemson falters.
What are your thoughts?

The Stone County Economic Development Partnership held a public meeting
Monday night at the Wiggins Depot to discuss the details of last year's infamous embezzlement
scam and what's next for the partnership.
"We are working with the Sheriffs Department and the state auditor. We have an ongoing investigation," Stone County Economic Development Partnership Chairperson Laura Owen said. "We have done a list of all the checks that were fraudulent, presented them to the banks. We have done several new things as far as internal controls and we will do several more things in the years to come."
Back in December, it was discovered that the County's Executive Secretary, Tina Owens Gillespie, had allegedly embezzled some $300,000 from the county. The scam is believed to have gone on for years. In fact, there were about 30 forged checks written in 2010 alone. The meeting was a chance to get everyone up to speed on the situation while also shedding light on new findings.
"The purpose of this meeting was to get the groups together to discuss what had happened here. As a board, we want to be open to the public, we want to be transparent. We want people to know what's going on with us and where we stand," Owen said.
During the meeting, many details of the case were revealed. As the board recently learned, in 2010 Gillespie allegedly manipulated the Peach Tree Accounting program to steal from the EDP. Investigators said she would make checks out to herself or in petty cash. She would then go back and change the payee name on the general ledger. Ultimately, the payee name on the check, and the name on the general ledger were different. However, the amounts were the same.
Owen told the crowd it's believed Gillespie wrote two or three checks a month. Most of the amounts are said to have been less than $1,000 and the auditor didn't notice the different names. She said the EDP receiving a clean audit report in 2009 and 2010 was "devastating to the EDP."
Most of the fraudulent checks were written at the beginning or the end of the month, so as to avoid anyone noticing checks out of sequence. Initially, they said, Tina Owens Gillespie also found ways to avoid being detected by auditors and through financial statements.
"Internal controls in our EDP office were not strong. We had the same person writing checks, opening the bank statements, and doing the financial statements," Owens said. "We possibly could have discovered the fraud if we did these four steps each month: If we had all the board members in the room at the same time, especially the check signers. We have to have all the members review the financial statements each month. All members review the bank statements, and all members review copies of all signed checks that clear the bank. If any one of these is missing, fraud can happen."
The situation has served as a lesson for the EDP. The focus for 2013 is to address the past, but move forward in a positive way.
"We're going forward. We're moving on. This is a brand new year and we got a new start. I think things can look good here in Stone County," Owen said.

Press Briefing on Findings From New National Survey, "Raising the Bar: Employers' Views on College Learning in the Wake of the Economic Downturn" and AAC&U Board Statement on Access and Completion
Wednesday, January 20, 2010, 2:00-3:00 p.m.
Grand Hyatt Hotel
Burnham Room, Level 3B
1000 H Street NW, Washington, DC 20001
Washington, DC—January 5, 2010—On January 20, 2010, the Association of American Colleges and Universities will release new findings from a national survey of employers conducted by Hart Research Associates. This survey builds on earlier research commissioned as part of AAC&U's Liberal Education and America's Promise (LEAP) initiative.
In conjunction with the release of new polling data, AAC&U's board of directors will also release a formal statement, "The Quality Imperative," calling for greater attention to what students are actually learning in college and efforts to significantly raise levels of achievement even as the nation focuses on increasing access and completion rates. The statement notes that "both employers and educators know that the quality shortfall is just as urgent as the attainment shortfall."
Speakers Include:
Carol Geary Schneider, president, Association of American Colleges and Universities
Eduardo J. Padrón, president, Miami Dade College and Chair, AAC&U Board of Directors
Abigail Davenport, senior vice president, Hart Research Associates
Anthony Carnevale, research professor and director, Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce
Carol Geary Schneider, president, Association of American Colleges and Universities
Eduardo J. Padrón, president, Miami Dade College and Chair, AAC&U Board of Directors
Abigail Davenport, senior vice president, Hart Research Associates
Anthony Carnevale, research professor and director, Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce
Survey findings will include new data on such issues as employers' plans for hiring college graduates in the coming years; how the workplace is changing; what employers think about new educational practices and their potential to increase achievement levels; and what learning outcomes are most important to today's employers. In October and November 2009, Hart Research Associates interviewed 302 employers whose organizations report that 25 percent or more of their new hires hold either an associate's degree or a bachelor's degree.
The AAC&U board of directors' statement, The Quality Imperative, will "urge a far-reaching and unprecedented effort to ensure that all the nation's college students receive the finest possible preparation for the demands and challenges of this global century." In particular, the AAC&U board of directors will suggest that "narrow training—the kind currently offered in far too many degree and certificate programs—will actually limit human talent and opportunity for better jobs in today's knowledge economy."
The full survey report will be embargoed until 2 p.m. on January 20th, but will be available for review on January 19, 2010 upon request. To receive an advance copy and/or to RSVP for the briefing, contact Debra Humphreys at email@example.com. If you are unable to attend the briefing, but would like to arrange interviews, please e-mail Debra Humphreys for further information.

Lakers can't bank on star-studded lineup alone
AUG 29, 2012 3:09a ET
You hear that phrase a lot. In sports, it means a team sure looks good when you jot down the fancy names on the roster.
In the NBA, it means talking about the Los Angeles Lakers.
"On paper, they have the best team in the league," Kevin Durant told Yahoo! Sports.
"On paper, they probably have the best team in the West and probably in the league right now," Chris Bosh told WQAM radio. "On paper. I'm saying on paper."
Durant is a forward for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Bosh for the Miami Heat. Their teams met in the Finals, with Bosh and the Heat emerging as champs.
So you could say the Heat took the X's and O's on coach Erik Spoelstra's paper and brought them to life — behind LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Bosh. The Heat were doggone good on paper, and in real life.
Now come the Lakers, the latest paper team.
Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol were already on the roster. Steve Nash and Dwight Howard were added this summer. That's four All-Stars in one starting lineup, making the Lakers the paper to everyone else's rock. But teams such as the Heat and Thunder believe they still have a fighting chance. At worst.
And history shows us they could be right.
Anyone remember the 2009-10 Cleveland Cavaliers? They were a pretty good "on paper" team. But James, an over-the-hill Shaquille O'Neal and an inconsistent Mo Williams crumpled when playing with cohesion and class meant the most.
Conversely, Mike Brown was the coach of that Cavs team, and now coaches the Lakers.
Anyway, how about the Lakers of 2003-04?
Another great paper team, another disappointment — as Bryant, O'Neal, Gary Payton and Karl Malone fell in the Finals to the overmatched Detroit Pistons. At least, the Pistons were overmatched on paper.
Yet they scooted to the title, winning the best-of-seven series in five rather simple games. If you remember, then-Pistons coach Larry Brown preached that his team pulled the upset by playing "the right way." That, it seems, is the scissors to everyone else's paper.
The Cavs and Lakers of yesteryear are just two examples. The list of teams that looked invincible but failed to win a title dates back to the days when league happenings were documented via chisel and granite. Or it sure seems that way.
To wit:
• Dominique Wilkins, Moses Malone, Reggie Theus and the 1989 Atlanta Hawks.
• The Jail Blazers.
• Nearly every team for which Wilt Chamberlain played.
• Somewhere around 20 percent of those expected to unseat Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls.
• The 2010-11 Heat.
The last example may be the biggest reason for caution when it comes to today's Lakers. After all, James and Wade alone supposedly could lift a team to 72 wins in their first season. Throw in a big man like Bosh, and . . . well, the Heat finished 58-24 and lost in the Finals (to the Dallas Mavericks).
"The best team always isn't the one who starts out the season as the best team," Bosh warned.
"You still got to play the games," Durant reminded.
Both men speak the truth. The current batch of Lakers isn't guaranteed anything but celebrated crowds and lots of TV time.
Kobe is 34 years old. Nash turns 39 before the playoffs. Howard is coming off back surgery. Metta World Peace is kooky. Brown's philosophy is usually open for debate.
Then again, fans and media don't often leave enough room for notations on paper. Just names. And when it comes to today's Lakers, all they see is no less than four of the game's brightest stars.
What will matter, of course, is that each individual accepts his role, responds well to coaching and keeps his eyes on the reason he was brought to town in the first place. That would be to finish one spot above second place.
On paper, no doubt, the Lakers appear to possess the very skills and savvy to make that happen. But as Durant, Bosh and the ghosts of paper teams of the past would tell you, the key is taking all those great names and turning them into something equally awe-inspiring on the court.
Otherwise, you'll likely be crinkled up, tossed in the trash and quickly forgotten.

It's time for my son to get a job.
Technically, he's still too young to flip burgers or bag groceries, as I once did. He's only 13 years old, and federal law tends to frown on child labor.
Christoph Hitz
But his money needs are increasing, especially when it comes to electronics. And his mom and I refuse to feed that habit. We've told him he has to earn the money if he really wants all this stuff.
Thus, the need for some kind of job.
The problem: We can't seem to motivate him to see the value in earning what you spend. And part of that, I fear, is my fault.
* * *
When I was my son's age, I was eager to make money. But, then again, there's a huge difference between my life at 13 and his life now.
I was raised by lower-middle-class grandparents on a fixed income. Even though my grandmother did a great job spoiling me, I knew in my early teens that if I wanted to buy, say, a metal detector (which I wanted one summer), then I'd have to earn the $60 on my own.
Amy grew up much the same way: If she needed something that wasn't essential, she had to pay for it. End of story.
Our son and 7-year-old daughter don't face those same economic pressures. Of course, we don't give our kids everything they want. But we've no doubt gone overboard in buying them things that were beyond our economic reach as kids.
We get a lot of satisfaction in doing that. But it comes with a pretty big downside—one we're only now beginning to grasp. Because of it, our son, who understands money far better than his young sister at this point, doesn't understand what it means to pay his own freight. He has learned to count on Mom and Dad.
Meanwhile, although we're encouraging him to work, we're not really pushing him as hard as we might.
* * *
So, why, you no doubt ask, don't I just tell him to get a job? It may come to that. But in truth, I'm torn.
Part of me wants him to work so that he can appreciate what it means to earn money, to understand explicitly how much sweat goes into whatever he wants to buy. Amy and I also want him to experience physical, maybe even uncomfortable, low-paying work so that he might find the motivation in college to pursue a career that will allow him to live and raise a family comfortably.
And yet...I want him to enjoy his childhood as much as I enjoyed mine. I'm also reluctant to take time away from his schoolwork, as well as travel soccer, which eats up an awful lot of his weekends. He's awfully good, and enjoys it immensely.
Perhaps most important: I want him to have the freedom to travel the world with me in my new job, since I'm convinced exposure to other cultures and other values and beliefs is the best education a child can get. Having to regularly seek time off from a job wouldn't go over well with an employer.
A former colleague has seen both sides of this with his kids. His son had no interest in working. But since he spent much of his time playing sports, my friend let his refusal to get a job slide, figuring that sports was teaching him discipline, as well as improving his chances of getting into college.
His son did get into a better college because of sports, my friend says. But he adds: "I wish he had worked some in high school. I think it would have been good for him in terms of appreciating the value of money. You're a smarter consumer when you've worked for something. He's learning that lesson now, in his mid-20s."
His daughter, on the other hand, "always had jobs when she was old enough, and offers the opposite lesson," my friend says. "She worked too hard and didn't enjoy herself enough when she had the opportunity. Now she has a full-time job, has her two weeks off, and I think she missed out."
The answer, my friend says he has come to believe, is "somewhere in the middle: It's good to work, but unless you need it for financial reasons, don't go overboard."
* * *
In many ways, my son is like a lot of kids I know—and several adults. He wants to expend as little effort as possible for a ton of money, prompting my wife to ask, "What, you think people are going to pay you just because you're cute?"
Amy and I throw job ideas at him all the time—jobs that we think would give him an appreciation for work without keeping him from either schoolwork or travel. But he bats them down.
He clearly has zero interest in following the path my friends and I took at his age: mowing lawns and raking leaves. He's excellent with young kids, so Amy has tried to convince him to take a baby-sitting class so that he can earn money the way she did. Again, no go.
To him they seem like too much work for too little pay.
I think I've come up with the perfect solution: being a soccer referee. My son plays on one of the city's select traveling teams, he clearly knows the game, and the park where he'd work is about four minutes from the house.
Then there's the pay: He'd earn between $15 and $20 to work as the assistant referee. Time required: 60 to 90 minutes at a stretch.
I told him that during the summer, when he's just bumming around the house, he could easily work five to 10 games a week, and clear $75 to $200 a week.
His eyes brightened...but he still spent his summer on the couch playing Xbox or watching TV.
So, Amy and I remain at square one. The local soccer association is holding a referee-training course later this month. We're hoping he'll attend.

My first blood donation!
AmandaEast Taunton, MA
December 30, 2013
For a long time I had watched my dad come home with the bandage on his arm, he would donate blood during his break at work. It seemed so easy, to donate in that short of time. After a long wait, I was finally 16, which meant that I would be able to donate (with a parent accompanying me). Days before my birthday I called and made the appointment, I went in around 11 on my birthday, all excited and nervous about giving blood. But, my nerves got the best of me. My pulse got me deferred, and let me tell you, I was pretty let down. A few weeks later, I went back. I was ready and excited again. I knew that I needed my pulse to stay down, and I tried so hard, and the nurse was so patient. But, nevertheless, I was yet again deferred. But, on Saturday (today is Monday, December 30th), I had another appointment. I was excited to try again (especially about the limited time shirt!!!) and so I went. I wasn't nervous, I wasn't over excited. When the nurse took my pulse, it was 120. I was defeated yet again. I knew that I had one more shot at getting my pulse down. She told me to wait and calm down. During that time, I was yelling at myself in my head, I wanted to calm down, I had to. So, when the nurse's boss came in, I was ready. I told her about my allergy medication that might be an issue. Then, a minute later, I was finally told I could. I managed to get my pulse to 96. I cannot describe the excitement I felt. When the nurse left the room, I was dancing in my chair (literally), I was bouncing up and down, grinning ear to ear. I went through all the questions, the whole process. After a couple of minutes of searching for a vein, because mine are small, I was finally able to. I expected a much worse pain. Honestly, getting my nose pierced (a little over a year ago) was a far worse pain than the needle in my arm. I felt great before, during, and after. If I could, I think I could donate again tomorrow and still be fine. Donating blood was such a fulfilling experience, I can't wait to do it again. If you're eligible, PLEASE DONATE!! Someone needs it. I always tell myself that if (god forbid) a loved one got into a situation where they needed blood, that someone would be as kind as myself to donate blood. Be the change that you want to see in the world!!

York County prosecutors have dropped homicide charges filed against a Red Lion man two years ago.
The district attorney's office said it does not have sufficient evidence to keep John Ruth III in the county prison, where he has been held since his arrest in February 2012.
"Upon the
complete review, we determined we had insufficient evidence beyond a
reasonable doubt," Deputy Chief Prosecutor Tim Barker said at a news conference Thursday.
Ruth, 58, was scheduled to stand trial next month in the killing for 33-year-old Stacey Farmer, who was shot and killed in the driveway of his Windsor Township home in June 2002.
At the time of his killing, Farmer was out on bail following his arrest for hindering apprehension and tampering with evidence in the May 2002
murder of Hopethan Johnson, who was shot to death in Farmer's backyard.
Authorities said Ruth's DNA was found under Farmer's fingernails, but no other substantial evidence was recovered.
"We must
come forward with additional evidence if charges are to be reinstituted," Barker said. "Should nothing come forward, no charges come forward. Truth
may sleep for a while, but truth does not die. We will get there."
Barker said prosecutors do not believe Ruth is a flight risk
or a danger to the public.
Ruth's attorney, George
Matangos, insists his client is innocent.
maintained his innocence with investigations, he maintained his
innocence with everyone he talked to," Matangos said. "He's been in jail for two years
for a crime he said he did not commit."

Project wins £15k to develop dementia services
12:16pm Wednesday 5th February 2014 in News
SWAN Advocacy has secured a grant for £15,000 from the Lloyds TSB Foundation to develop its dementia services for those in the most rural parts of the county.
The grant will enable the project to develop its Dementia Advocacy Service, with a particular focus on supporting individuals living in the most rural communities of Wiltshire who experience memory loss or confusion or have recently been diagnosed with dementia.
With the project launched last month, it will provide a client- focused independent advocacy service to people living at home to ensure they have the best care provision and access to services reflective of their wishes and interests during their dementia journey.
The project will also support these individuals to plan for a time where they are less able to make decisions for themselves.
Teresa Wells, interim chief executive for Salisbury-based Swan said: "We are very grateful to Lloyd's in providing the grant needed to secure this essential service. The project will provide services that will enable individuals to express their views and wishes, whilst they are able, by engaging with an advocate."
For more information on volunteering opportunities and accessing this project visit website www.swanadvocacy.org.uk
