Well this is fun! Mormon Senator Mike Crapo of Idaho was just arrested for DUI in VA. #Hypocritesabound—
e.b. feskoe (@ebfeskoe) December 24, 2012
As Twitchy noted earlier this evening, Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, was arrested earlier today for Driving Under the Influence.
Not surprisingly, many liberal tweeters were pleased to hear the news.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. RT @blakehounshell: So does Crapo, busted for drunk driving, step down?—

Many liberal tweeters noted that Crapo is a Mormon who apparently said in the past that he abstains from alcohol. Thus, in addition to his legal problems, Crapo is also guilty of rank hypocrisy:

Go ahead and eat that valentine cupcake for breakfast... It may not break the diet after all.
In fact -- research shows eating dessert with breakfast might actually help you shed pounds! Food experts say people who eat sweets in addition to a high-protein breakfast lose more weight. It may be that metabolism is more active in the morning -- and that indulging a little makes you less likely to crave sugary snacks later on.

The Housing Crash and the Retirement Prospects of Late Baby Boomers
AbstractThis paper extrapolates from data from the 2004 Survey of Consumer Finance to project household wealth, by wealth quintile, for the cohort that will be between the ages of 45-54 in 2009 under three alternative scenarios. The first scenario assumes that real house prices fall no further than their level as of March 2008. The second scenario assumes that real house prices fall an additional 10 percent as a 2009 average. The third scenario assumes that real house prices fall an additional 20 percent for a 2009 average. The projections show that the vast majority of families in these age cohorts will have little or no wealth by 2009 in any of these scenarios and that the cohorts just approaching retirement will have very little to support themselves in retirement other than their Social Security. The projections also show that a large number of families in these age cohorts will have little or no equity in their homes in 2009. Finally, the projections show that the renters within the same wealth quintiles in 2004 will have more wealth in 2009 than homeowners in all three scenarios.

HGU-56/P Rotary Wing Aircrew Helmet
Designed to keep pace with innovations in flight technology and emerging mission scenarios, the GENTEX HGU-56/P helmet system offers modular engineering for cross-platform use within multiple Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Law Enforcement and civilian rotary aircraft. The helmet's enhanced design features a multitude of options to improve aircrew personnel fit, functionality, mission adaptability and essential head safety and protection.
The helmet comes standard with both clear and neutral visors. For particularly demanding mission requirements, laser visors, high contrast and gradient visors are available from to improve visual acuity in day, night or inclement weather conditions. All Gentex visors are made of polycarbonate and meet all performance requirements of MIL-V-43511 and have an abrasion-resistant coating on the front and back surfaces in accordance with MIL-C-83409. The outer visor housing can also easily be configured for Night Vision Goggles (NVG).
The HGU-56/P can also be upgraded to include the Maxillofacial Shield (MFS), specifically designed to protect the lower face from flying debris common to the helicopter environment. An optional helmet bag for proper storage and protection is available. Oxygen mask bayonets can also be ordered for field installation, so the MBU 12/P Oxygen mask can be donned in high-altitude environments.
All HGU-56/P rotary wing helmets can be readily modified to install the Communication Ear Plug (CEP), which is now standard on all U.S. Army flight helmets and which greatly enhances communications and hearing protection. www.cep-usa.com

Trailing for the first time all game, following a long touchdown catch by Devery Henderson that put the Saints up 17-14, Matt Stafford and the Detroit Lions took the field for their first drive of the second half. The Lions built up a 14-10 lead heading into the half, but fell victim to New Orleans' quick strike offense and needed an answer. And on the first play from scrimmage, Detroit got its drive started off on the right foot, picking up a large chunk of yardage.
Stafford connected with Calvin Johnson for 21 yards and a first down to open the drive -- a promising start for the Lions. But that was about the only positive on the drive as a run that went nowhere on first down was followed by a back-breaking holding penalty, putting the Lions in a second and long situation. Stafford's next pass was incomplete, and though he found Nate Burleson for eight yards on third down, the Lions were forced to punt, giving the ball back to a New Orleans offense that seems to be finding its groove.
Early in the third quarter, the Saints lead the Lions at the Superdome, 17-14.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
So I got down to 1515 Broadway at about 4:45am, registered (#168) and got in line. Despite the hour, the 167 people in front of me and the ones who trickled and then poured in after were very ON; people who show up for open calls never really know who they're auditioning for, so they tend to perform for everyone. Luckily I remembered my Walkman.
The line snaked around the area behind the MTV studios and in front of the Minskoff Theater, back and forth like we were waiting for Space Mountain on Starved For Attention Day at Disneyland. One row ahead of me in the line was a heroin-slender giant with a denim jacket, Hanoi Rocks hair and snakeskin pants that managed to be skin-tight and falling down. I remember thinking to myself: that young lady could use a cheeseburger.
At a little after 8am, the auditions began and the line started to move. Fast. They brought people into the studio in groups of 12, and at around 9:30, the doors opened and let my group in. And it was like the mothership came to get me. Camera crews! PA's running this way and that with clipboards and headsets! Carson Daly! Oh, sweet Jesus, I am home.
There were 12 audition stations dotting the circumference of the "Uptown Studio," which would later become the home of TRL. I took my spot at station #8, the cameraman turned on his camera, a guy named Joe asked my name and why I was there, I read a cue card and was told to wait where I was. He called out to a gorgeous young woman named Caryn who came over and repeated the process- I'd tell you what I said if I had any recollection- and then she said, "Come with me."
I took a seat outside the "Midtown Studio," a smaller room down the hall. There were just a few of us here, going in one by one and staying for a longer time. An instant callback! We were given questionnaires to fill out as we waited; all I remember is being asked to complete the statement "In high school, I was voted most likely to ____" and writing in "introduce the latest Savage Garden video." They called my name, and I went in and talked to Caryn, her boss Rod, and his boss Tony.
And then it was 20 minutes later and I was outside and I had no idea what had just happened. I remembered that we talked music, I told them what I do for a living and why I wanted a change, I took a Polaroid, I got their business cards and they told me they'd choose the 10 finalists by midnight on Tuesday, and then the rest would be televised, live, for the rest of the week.
It was a little after 10am by this time, and my office was just up the street; I could easily have gone in and had a regular workday.
I got on the subway, went home and wrote about it.
My best friend from high school was starting a new job that very day, at a magazine whose offices were in 1515 Broadway. That night, I checked my AOL account and there was an email from him: "Listen, Dave: I know you and this sounds like the kind of thing you think you should do, but DO NOT go and audition to be a VJ at MTV today. I passed the line on my way into the building and it's full of children and weirdos. It'll just end up being embarrassing for you. Trust me on this one."
Our relationship never really recovered.

Barton: Our careers are on the line
12:23pm Thursday 29th March 2012 in Sport © Press Association 2014
QPR captain Joey Barton has admitted the final few games of the Barclays Premier League season have much more at stake than points and pride.
The controversial midfielder is likely to lead the side out against Arsenal at the weekend knowing that some of his team-mates are playing for their respective futures in the game.
He told the club's official website: "This is more than a game of football now. The next eight games govern our futures."
He added: "We're as desperate for the points as they are - for totally different reasons obviously.
"But there are livelihoods on the line here. People's careers are on the line. I'm not sure that's the case at Arsenal to be honest."
The R's have struggled for consistency in the top flight since being promoted as npower Championship champions last season.
And despite home wins over the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool, Barton is all too aware the club are still in a relegation dog-fight which could leave some players without a club come next season.
"They'll (Arsenal) want to win the game because they're professionals and they'll want to finish in the Champions League places, which is a minimum requirement for them," he said.
"But there are lads here whose careers are on the line - all the lads need to realise that. If we don't, we'll be punished for it."

Okay I know Saw 3 has been out for awhile and I know that its sappose to be scary and horrorifing but I cold stop laughing at it all it was not scary and it was kind of pathetic on how the father has to same the people but come on the movie was not twisted in the plot section .... sorry for being a critic but this movie just sucked to me ..... How do you guys feel about the movie and do you think there is going to be another one ??
First off, SAW 3 isn't supposed to be scary. Its a thriller with plot twist and suspense. Unless you have seen the first 2 then you cannot understand the concept behind this movie. I personally thought it was great because it showed the reality of human nature. When a person is in a life or death situation their true nature shows and instinct kicks in. Whether this person lives or dies depends on that. This series was a great psychological movie. With an excellent plot. The first movie was the best of the series. I do believe the third could have been better but it was a decent ending considering the writer of this movie died right after writing it.
It was alright but still the thriller part could have kicked up like 5 notches......and the twists to it wasnt that surprising either cause there is always in those movies someone kidnapped and they around trying to get out of a life and death situation the writer should have put a better twist with it
Well ive heard about its release comin so i think...but im not exactly sure what kind of movie it'll be.I know the first 2 were more like suspense movies..that were a little twisted..
1st Sig finished 12-20-09
I'm going to move this to the spoiler section because there is a small spoiler in the first post and there might be more soon.
grudge 2 is when everyone dies, and its the exact same movie plot as the first, cept they 'stop' the grudge, until the boy gets infected in the hallway at the end, showing a sequel of crap-tacular proportions
saw 3 is stupid gore and no plot, because saw has less gore, ok plot that i enjoyed, saw 2 had more gore same plot with no twists, cept the guy with cemotherapy cant die or sumptin, and that was ok... and saw 3 was all gore and the same plot, like ya, and it was sooooo gay and boring so both are bad. but not as bad as 'hostle' its 30 minutes of weed, 30 minutes of sex, and 1 1/2 hours of torture cuz the guys were following some girls and wanted to sleep wit them
horror movies these days have moved a level down. ((( totally

Scottish Affairs Committee: 'bedroom tax cruel burden'
The chair of the Scottish Affairs Committee has labelled the Government's so-called "bedroom tax" as a "cruel burden", saying it's "designed to hit the poorest".
The committee has called for the scheme to be suspended for claimants who cannot reasonably be offered alternative accommodation.
Chairperson and Labour MP Ian Davidson said: "This is an interim report because, while the impact of the bedroom tax cannot yet be fully quantified, it is already clear that it is a cruel burden being placed upon the shoulders of those least able to bear it."

It's not only elected officials, or even hired staff members who make decisions that affect the future of Barton County, but volunteers also have a hand in making important decisions.
Barton County continues to find ways to help youth offenders to get back on the straight and narrow, including through the use of peer programs.
Sometimes when it comes to the agencies in Barton and Pawnee counties that serve those in need, that need isn't about money.
EL DORADO – A last-minute fund-raising campaign has saved a southeast Kansas ranch that has served as a camp for thousands of people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities, at least for now. The Kansas Cerebral Palsy Ranch was slated to go on the auction block Saturday, Aug. 27.
As a lot of people have found out, expensively, with the rise in popularity of home electrical generators for emergencies, there is more involved in setting a building up with a gas-powered generator than just cranking one up when the power goes out.
Great Bend Police Department Capt. Bob Robinson is concerned that the "near misses" at a local school crossing are going to get near enough that a child is going to be injured, or worse.
The Kansas Attorney General's Office is handling two first-degree murder cases from 2010 in Barton County District Court. But while the capital murder case against Adam Joseph Longoria continues to grab headlines, less is known about the first-degree murder case against Shawn Ney.
When looking at gas prices statewide, Great Bend falls about in the middle of the pack, according to the gasoline price website KansasGasPrices.com.

Adaptations of books are a common occurrence in the film industry, from best-selling trilogies like Lord of the Rings to classics such as Empire of the Sun. Changes to certain elements or characters from the books during the transition to film can cause some controversy. Take The Martian Child, for example. Even though the novel talks about the main character's homosexuality, the movie has completely ignored this aspect. Whether or not it was to avoid criticism from audiences, it definitely raises a few eyebrows.
Directed by Menno Meyjes, who received an Oscar nomination in 1986 for the screenplay of The Color Purple, The Martian Child takes a look into the life of popular science fiction writer David (John Cusack) as he tries to cope with the recent death of his wife by adopting a child (Bobby Coleman) who ends up being more than David bargained for. Dennis believes he's a Martian and refuses to step outside without his umbrella to protect him from the sun's harmful rays. David has to struggle with Dennis' many quirks while being under the ever-watchful eye of Social Services and attempting to write a sequel to his best-selling novel.
Slightly reminiscent of I Am Sam without the autism and the abundant Beatles references, The Martian Child allows the audience to sympathize with the single parent as he struggles to bring up a child even though he may not be properly equipped to do so. The ever-pungent opinions of David's sister (Joan Cusack) and neurotic, over-the-top book agent (Oliver Platt) give the film its moments of comedic relief from the seriousness of the main plot.
Meyjes is able to produce a feel-good movie without the overbearing cliches that accompany father-son bonding movies. Even with the omission of the main character's homosexuality the integrity of the film was still genuine. It brings up important questions on whether it should be harder for single parents--males especially--to adopt children when in the first place there is such a shortage of people willing to adopt. The Martian Child brings audiences down to earth with its endearing plot and characters and leaves them with a sense of belonging.

I hate to actually take a side here, but I quit football my senior year (we went to a new wishbone offense, eliminating my position as a wing back), and I find myself often regretting it. I wasn't fantastic, but I was good enough to be in on some plays and do something positive.
Just make sure that you won't find yourself wishing you hadn't. For most of us, football is done when you graduate high school, anyway.Have you ever seen a race of turtles, and they all go the wrong way instead of towards the finish line?

As a teacher, I certainly wish more kids would put as much thought into their grades as they do football as this young man has.
If you seem to be struggling with your grades, you can always back out of football. It is obvious from what you've written that your grades are the most important, as they should be. However, if you feel you can handle both, then that is what you should do. Studies actually show that students who play sports have better grades and learn more because they budget their time better.
I played football up until my senior year, and like Los, I regret it deeply. I remember sitting in the stands, wondering why I quit. Grades are HUGE! Don't sacrific them for football. However, if you can do both.... do it....3 Straight Division Champs

I, like packman, am a teacher. I too admire the thought you are putting into your grades and sports decision. I have read over the previous responses and see that you have gotten a lot of advice. The best advice in this situation is to do what you think is best for YOU.
Personally, I missed my 10th grade year of football due to a broken hand. The next year I knew that it was going to be an uphill battle trying to get back into the starting lineup, so I chose to not play and work on keeping my grades up. Looking back on it, I made a mistake. I really wish I would've played football. I am smart enough that my grades wouldn't have been affected that much, if any at all, and the comraderie and joy that you get while playing any sport is more than one can ever explain (I did play basketball so I'm not trying to pretend I know what I'm talking about). Also remember that if your grades are over a 3.0, unless you plan on going to Harvard or MIT, they really don't matter. There aren't too many state colleges or universities left that have cutoffs over the 3.0 mark and businesses are looking more at personalities when they are hiring than they are worrying abour grades.
To put in a few words what I just said in far too many, do what you want to do but try to think about the memories you will be missing out on if you don't give it a chance.Protect our future...Keep your kids out of the reach of any Green Bay Packers.

Football or not...
I would say go for them both - you can play football and study at the same time - look at Matt Birk! The guy went to an Ivy League school (Harvard), got his degree AND is an All-Pro center in the NFL. Just remember - DON'T sacrefice the grades for football! If you can't handle both, concentrate on grades. Use Matt Birk and guys like him as role models - NOT guys like Marcus Vick, who was just suspended from the FB team for the year for his recent crimes. You can DO it!

A parent told 14 News that their child was a target when another child brought a weapon to school.
First-grader Heaven Carter says she and her classmates were hanging up their backpacks on Thursday morning when a boy in her class threatened her with a knife.
"He got in his backpack and he just hurried up and showed me the knife," says Heaven. "He hurried up and put it back in his backpack. As soon as he put it up, he told me he was going to hurt me with it, after I got back from my medicines."
Later at recess, Heaven says the boy showed her a picture he drew that demonstrated how he planned to kill her.
"That's when she got scared. And that's when she notified the teacher," says Caleb.
Heaven's parents, Caleb and Rachel, say Heaven's teacher was alarmed by the situation and that the school's principal, Bob Lawson, took the knife, the boy, and Heaven into his office for questioning.
"The little boy said that his sister put it in his backpack. That's what he told the principal and then that's when Mr. Lawson kept telling her, 'Are you lying to me? Did the little boy say that he brung the knife to hurt you? Or did he tell you that his sister put it in there?,'" says Caleb. "I mean, Heaven hasn't changed her story, not one time."
As all of this was going on, Caleb and Rachel say the school neglected to notify them. In fact, they say, school officials didn't even call the police. With tears in her eyes, Heaven told her parents what happened when she got home from school and Caleb called the police.
"Any time there's any kind of threatening, especially involving a weapon, it should be handled through law enforcement, and they didn't," says Caleb. "they avoided it."
Caleb believes the school neglected to call the police, to avoid bad publicity. A move, he says, demonstrates a lack of concern for student safety.
"They more or less said that they wanted to keep it out of publicity, because that school is known for having high test scores and no violence in it and all this," says Caleb.
Caleb and Rachel say the boy was suspended for the last two days of school, and that they do not intend to re-enroll Heaven at Bend Gate next year.
"My daughter won't be back at bend gate," says Rachel.
"In my opinion, it makes me feel like they're just showing the other kids, that feel like that, they can get by with it," says Caleb. "It's just opening the door for other problems."
14 News spoke to Henderson County Assistant Superintendent Morgana Stanley on the phone and she says they didn't involve the police since the knife was small, and they didn't perceive it as a threat. But Heaven's parents contend that any weapon brought to school is a threat.

St. Paul (WQOW) -- It's official. The Wisconsin hockey team is guaranteed at least one more game this season. The Badgers will face UMass-Lowell in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday.
The Badgers earned the WCHA's automatic bid after winning the Broadmoor Cup on Saturday, beating Colorado College 3-2.
Wisconsin's trip to the tournament is even more impressive when you consider where the team started. The Badgers did not pick up a single win in November, beginning the season just 1-7-2. But Wisconsin took care of its business from there and is now one of just 16 teams alive for the national title.
"It's been a wacky ride from the beginning of the season. The way we started out, 1-7-2, to be in this position -- we knew we had it in us. We grinded our way through the season and everyone stuck together and to come out as WCHA champions, it's a great ride so far," says junior forward, and Eau Claire native, Jefferson Dahl.

Republican voters have nominated Todd Platts as their candidate for judge in York County's Court of Common Pleas, but the former U.S. congressman will face his opponent again in November.
Platts defeated Michael Flannelly in Tuesday's GOP primary by receiving 56 percent of the vote to Flannelly's 44 percent, but both candidates cross-filed and Flannelly beat out Platts in the Democratic contest, where he had 56 percent of the vote to Platts' 44 percent.
Platts represented Pennsylvania's 19th district from 2001 until he retired in January.
Flannelly was appointed to the Court of Common Pleas last summer, following the death of Judge Chuck Patterson.

Itmust take a lot of work to make a squad-based action game. On top ofhaving to deliver all the core aspects that any shooter shouldhave–things like responsive gameplay and great graphics and sound–agame designer working with squad-style gameplay also has to worry a lotabout artificial intelligence. All it takes is a smattering of instanceswhere a players AI squadmates get stuck on a wall or take aninefficient path around a few obstacles to really shatter the illusionof working with a team and turn the game into a drone-babysittingsimulation. Freedom Fighters, the new game from the developers of lastyears great Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, deftly avoids the many pitfallsof AI squad tactics, and this, combined with great control, missiondesign, and presentation, makes for a truly fantastic game.
FreedomFighters takes place in an alternate reality that never saw thedissolution of the Soviet Union. Instead, the Red threat has continuedto grow since the end of World War II, taking hold in countries as closeto home as Cuba and Mexico. The game opens with the plumbing team ofChris and Troy Stone paying a visit to the clogged sink of IsabellaAngelina, who also happens to be a vocal member of a watchdogorganization devoted to informing the American public about the evils ofthe Soviet Union. The duo enters her apartment to find that it has beenhastily evacuated, and soon after, Soviet troops bust in to try to findher, only to capture Troy instead. The Soviet invasion of the US hasbegun.

First let me preface this by saying I am usually fairly tough on journalists. I get extra-ordinarily aggravated at them when they say things like "Garrett Anderson is a good fit for Atlanta" when every piece of evidence available says otherwise. Having said that, I have to say that I have been very pleased with Mark Bowman's recent performance. The guy has been spot on getting out quality information and busting rumors, that is until today. Not sure if this is Bowman's opinion or if he is getting his information from "team sources" but his article suggests that a Marlon Byrd signing would give us reason to trade Jordan Schafer.
Marlon Byrd: Coming off a season during which he hit .283 with 20 homers, Byrd will be attractive to a number of clubs looking for an affordable option to fill their outfield. If the Braves were able to grab him off the free-agent market, they would find themselves with more reason to explore the possibility of trading former top prospect Jordan Schafer.
So rather than go on a long, stat filled, rant about how ridiculous this suggestion is I thought I'd see how the Talking Chop community felt about it.

Despite the fact that we face tough economic times Shambhalians have continued to be incredibly generous. Shambhala Mountain Center recently received generous donations to complete the work needed to be done on their water system, Karme Choling has raised a significant amount of the money needed for its first Scorpion Seal retreat cabin, and due to the local centre matching gift campaign there are a number of centres that have become fiscally stable or are able to embark on new projects. To celebrate generosity in spite of the economic storm we have decided to include stories from around the globe, some of Shambhalians some not, that highlight extraordinary giving.
Sangha member Brian Sutton was surprised when his nine year old son David approached him asking how much money it would take to become a member of the Boston Shambhala Center. Surprised as any father might be Brian inquired as to why his son might want to do such a thing. David responded, "Well, I already spend time there helping out and I like to meditate so I thought I should give money too."
It turns out David gets $5 a month for allowance. $2 of which is allowed to go to something he might want that week. Another $2 goes into a long-term savings fund. David ended up buying a bike with that money. The last dollar is supposed to go to charity.
Brian then arranged for David to become a member of the Boston Shambhala Center at the amount of $1 a month, or 20% of his income. It remains to be seen if anyone will ask him to sign a contract to stay at that rate for life.
On the closing night of the first annual Courageous Women program at Shambhala Mountain, Sofia Diaz performed sacred dance for the participants, all women living with cancer. She instructed everyone in the room not to applaud at the end of the dances; she was giving a healing gift and if we clapped, we would be giving something back. She wanted us simply to receive fully. Her dance left hearts ripped open, filled with the intense sad-joy our lineage talks so much about. After her sacred offerings, Sofia put on music and encouraged everyone to get up and dance. One woman who was very sick, was lifted onto the shoulders of the stronger women and was waving her cane in the air to the music, completely transcendent. When I think of generosity, this is the story that comes to me. Deep appreciation no matter what the circumstances in our lives. Receiving and fully experiencing our own and others basic goodness.
Louise Hastey was leading an open practice session at the Austin Shambhala Center when a little girl that lived in the area came in with a friend. Louise did not think much of it at the time but the little girl was inspired enough to tell her father about the place. A few months later he attended a Shambhala Training Level I program and began to meditate regularly.
Not too long after that a lemonade stand opened down the street. It turned out that the little girl who had visited the centre was running it and that all proceeds were going to be handed over to the Austin Shambhala Center later that day. When asked about the lemonade stand she said, "My father was very sick and the meditation helped him. I want to help the Shambhala Center."

For the many years I earned from $50,000-$100,000 a year, I gave 30-50% of my annual income. Last year I earned a modest $16,000, a drop due to health issues – but I'm still giving the same percentage of my income. How could I not?
My giving is so deeply tied to my identity that I would never suspend it just because I'm less flush. I've known both poverty and great wealth from the inside. My family of origin often worried whether we would have enough to eat; but in one of my marriages (long divorced) we argued about buying fast cars, the size of the mansion, etc. My experiences have given me a wide compassion for others which underlies how I live my life.
A beloved project of mine is to pass out work gloves to the immigrant day laborers waiting on the street corners to be hired. I buy gloves, hats, and/or coffee for 30-100 workers at a time. Recently I put a $5 bill inside each hat and gloves. One man cried when he saw the money, saying, "I haven't eaten in two days." I'm compelled to change a single moment in someone's life – and I also believe in strategic giving, creating change at the higher legislative level.
Once a friend gave me money to donate in any way I wanted. I'm sure he expected me to give to a food bank or something similar. Instead I plunked down $10,000 to get into a Gala Fundraiser for the Clinton and Gore Campaign. I wore a gown and heels – but it was still assumed I was part of the serving staff, not a major donor! I was one of the only dark faces in a sea of white people, but I wanted to be there, to see for myself what it meant to have privilege and power—even if only for one evening.
I think one of the boldest things I do is to give to white-led organizations, because I have been criticized for it by my own people. I've been asked, "Why are you giving to white people when they have enough access to money?" I think for me it's about being part of the bigger solution in society, and about finding my own inner power. I want my Latino and Native American communities to be publicly recognized as the givers we've always been. If more of us step forward publicly, we'll be seen as the historical creators of philanthropy that we are, and not simply as the recipients of it.

When my father died when I was 16, I was completely unprepared to inherit half a million dollars. I felt isolated and confused in contemplating my responsibility toward my wealth.
But by the time I was given control of the principal at age 25, I felt much clearer about what I wanted to do with it. I had stumbled upon the Haymarket People's Fund donor conferences, where I found a network of like-minded wealthy young people. I decided to redistribute my inheritance, which had grown larger by then. I set up a donor-advised fund at the Funding Exchange in New York to fund grassroots groups working on youth, anti-racism and environmental efforts.
After a couple of years, I realized that in addition to giving the money, I also wanted to release the power over and responsibility for how it was spent. So I moved the remainder to the general Funding Exchange grant fund, where activists in the field make the decisions.
I kept $100,000 of the inheritance to help support me during my first years as a teacher and for a down payment on a modest, straw bale home.
I now work as an educator for my income and have no regrets. Giving away that money was one of the most powerful acts of my life.

Sassy Gay Friend — starring a pretty smokin' fella (is he really gay? …does that even really matter?) — stages an intervention for Shakespeare's Juliet. You know, that 14-year-old who goes all cray for a guy she just met and ultimately dies because … of something?
Okay, confession: all I remember from that one lit class in high school were my one-on-one oral exams with Mr. Erikson.
But anyway. In this episode of SGF, Juliet's about to off herself for her hubby, and, luckily for her, her sexy S"G"F isn't having it. He lets her know about the terrors of fucking just one person for the rest of your life, let's her know there're tons of other hot and bothered fish out there, and saves her life.
An important message we should all keep in mind.

Asian Kale Salad With Oranges and Red Pepper Flakes
This refreshing, do-ahead salad has bright flavor and very little oil — just what you rub into the kale leaves. It's sturdy and pretty enough for a party.
1 head kale
2 tablespoons Asian toasted sesame oil
3 oranges
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 handful scallions, thinly sliced
2/3 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
Wash kale and blot dry. Tear into bite-sized pieces, discarding thick stems. This should yield about 8 cups of kale leaves, packed.
Fill a large bowl with the kale. Drizzle one tablespoon of the sesame oil on the kale and the other on your hands. Rub oil into kale leaves, distributing it evenly. After a few minutes, you'll feel the leaves soften.
Grate the zest of 1 orange into the kale and toss to combine.
Juice 1 orange and pour into a small bowl. Add garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar and pepper flakes. Stir until sugar dissolves and dressing thickens slightly. Pour over kale and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate at least half an hour; longer is fine.
Just before serving, peel and section the remaining 2 oranges, removing seeds. Leave sections whole for an impressive look or chop into bite-sized pieces. Scatter orange segments, sliced scallions, chopped peanuts and chopped cilantro over kale and serve. Makes 8 servings.

It is not yet the mid-point of the NHL season and we are already seeing salary dumps and waiver wire surprises. The New York Islanders have stepped forward and declared themselves sellers already. While a few other teams are on standby, circling the outer perimeter like an airliner from "Die Hard". This is the NHL at the All-Star break, a confusing time for fans who want to know, is their team a contender or pretender?
The Blues should not be confused about who they are this season. This is the year that management should make a few major additions to count themselves among the league's major players for the cup that is Lord Stanley. You can be sure that GM Doug Armstrong is in the process of identifying what exactly this team needs to make a playoff push. Management already took a large step this past summer when Jaroslav Halak was acquired from the Montreal Canadians. Getting a number one goaltender that is a long term solution has been a source of concern for this organization for some time. The Blues have ample depth on the blue line. So much so, that any trade would most likely draw from that strength to improve the offense. The Blues have several key pieces in place to form together what could be an elite team. However, President John Davidson must realize that there are only so many young players that you can keep around. Eventually, assets must yield results. Which, in turn, should lead to success.
So first, the core of this team, meaning untouchable players, must be identified. For the sake of this exercise I will offer up a short list. (Disclaimer: the opinions in this article are strictly opinions unless otherwise noted) T.J. Oshie, David Perron, David Backes, Alex Pietrangelo, Roman Polak, and of course Halak. All other roster players are in play and should be used to bring in the necessary pieces to compete in the West. I could also name a short list of prospects that I would consider keepers. Ian Cole, Vladimir Tarasenko, and Jake Allen. Yes we could use catch phrases like "stay the course" and "remain patient", but can we please get serious here. Look at the Western Conference and you'll find that the competition for a playoff spot is tough enough, not to mention winning a playoff series or two. And yes, I believe that getting to the conference final is a solid if not attainable goal with this team. So I would rather use catch phrases such as "built for the playoffs" and " beat the redwings". Well, I just made that one up myself.
One player the Blues had interest in was Jamie Langenbrunner. This is the type of move that would have filled an immediate need of playoff experience and leadership. Other players that fit that mold are Jason Arnott, Alex Kovalev, Mike Fisher, Rob Niedermayer, and Shane Doan. Some bigger names that would be interesting are Ales Hemsky, Jarome Iginla, and Tim Connolly. Iginla would be an ideal splash to make at the deadline, however, Calgary would most likely be asking more than what the Blues, or any team for that matter, would be willing to offer. There have been trade talks that one would characterize as "under the radar". One name that has been heard is Josh Bailey of the Islanders. Bailey, although young, has good skill that the Blues need at the center position.
Yes, this is a declaration. The transition is a memory, the rebuilding is complete, the development has finished. It's time to grow up and play with the big boys. With the news of the ownership shuffle almost complete, the only thing left to do is just win baby.

Antitrust Law
FTC Majority Criticizes DOJ Antitrust Guidelines for Monopolies
Posted Sep 9, 2008 8:02 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Critics are assailing the Justice Department's new antitrust guidelines for corporate monopolies as being too permissive, and the dissenters include a majority of the Federal Trade Commission.
Three FTC commissioners issued a statement disagreeing with many of the Justice Department's threshold tests for when it can take action against companies for monopoly tactics, the Washington Post reports. Commissioners Pamela Jones Harbour, Jon Leibowitz and J. Thomas Rosch called the report "a blueprint for radically weakened enforcement" against monopolies that engage in predatory pricing and other anti-consumer behavior.
But Thomas Barnett, assistant attorney general in charge of the department's antitrust division, told the Post that the report relies on commonly accepted legal standards. While monopolistic aggression needs to be policed, the report said, there is also a need "to avoid interfering in the rough and tumble of beneficial competition that drives innovation and economic growth."
The guidelines could be ignored by Barnett's successor when a new president is elected, Reuters reports.

What would you use to wash pretzel hot dog buns?

Doubts, doubts, doubts, doubts:
The front office clearly sees that the safeties and linebackers are questionable given recent moves. Now add tight end 'cause Virge keeps shooting himself in the foot and Thomas probably already washed out in camp.
TE: Ingraham can back up Dreesen, but who is Tamme's understudy?
S: If either of Adams/Carter plus Moore are the starting safeties thenthat's going to be a weakness. Carter may be a small upgrade over Adams. Safeties who I see for sure on the roster are Bruton and Bush by virtue of ST play.
LB: You don't know if we have an adequate startes or backup MLB. Did you see Vontaze Burfict flash speed and abandon against the Jets? Did we blow that one?
OL: There is word of a shakeup at LG, RG and RDE in the lame stream media this morning and that is not encouraging. One can only hope Harris has something left because he has been invisible. Someone better start stepping up, cause you don't want the likes of Clark on the roster if you can avoid it.
Indubitably good units::
DL: When they lined up Ayers, Dumerville, Warren, Vick and Hunter in their 5-2 look for the Bear's first couple of possessions, that was fearsome except for Hunter. Warren and Vickerson were pushing Garza and Spencer around like chumps. I haven't been used to seeing that at all from Broncos tackles. Won't be missing Bunk much. Query Warren's stamina but that's about all. I think Hunter is just a placeholder for 'til Wolfe earns Jack's trust. Ayers may be fungible with Hunter, or even Beal or Malik. I see him getting shopped and hope Allen or Bellicheck go for the bait. I think they'll keep one of the giants, perhaps Silga.
Gotta love the starters at QB, CB, RB and WR and be pretty content with the backups and the depth there too. No worries other than health for these units.
Not sold:
FB: In camp or the 1st preseason game Gronkowsli shows nothing but mediocrity as a running back, pass protector or lead blocker - no outstanding talents in any area. At least Sylvester made a textbook lead block on Ball/s TD and looks okay as a ST guy. That may be worth keeping.

Moorpark resident to compete in dressage at Pan Am Games
Marisa Festerling has gone Big Tyme.
The 34-year-old Moorpark resident and her 14-year-old dressage horse, Big Tyme, finished fourth in the 2011 U.S. Equestrian Federation's Festival of Champions in the Intemediaire I Championship Selection Trial in Glasgow, N.J., last month. Festerling's score earned her and Big Tyme, whose barn name is Frankie, a spot on the U.S. team for the Pan Am Games this month in Guadalajara, Mexico.
"I've been riding dressage seriously since I was 16," Festerling said by phone from New Jersey, where she was training for the competition. "From the time I was a baby, my grandparents Helen and Bob Muldoon had horses, and I grew up around them."
She co-owns Big Tyme with Thousand Oaks residents Dave and Anne-Marie Walter.
In the sport of dressage, a horse is put through a set pattern of movements that test its obedience and natural ability.
"It's almost like a harmonious dance together," Festerling said. "The idea is to make it look effortless, to work together."
A 1998 graduate of California Lutheran University and a graduate of Adolfo Camarillo High School, Festerling played soccer competitively at the club level.
"I played up through high school, but horses were a passion of mine growing up. I wanted to be a jockey since I was a kid. I was obsessed," she said. "I quit soccer altogether at 16 when I got the chance to pursue riding seriously, and I boarded a horse at a ranch in Somis. I worked in exchange for riding lessons." About a year into training, Festerling met Marie Meyers after reading about the horse trainer in Practical Horseman magazine.
"She wanted to create a horse head-shaped Jacuzzi in her backyard," Festerling said. "I knew I wanted to meet her, so I started calling her and bugging her. I became a working student at her ranch, and I never left."
"We've been together a long time," said Meyers, Festerling's coach, who has been to New Jersey three times since the Festival of Champions began and will go to Guadalajara with her. "We're really like family."
Meyers and Festerling work together not only as trainer and rider. They also run a riding school and dressage horse sales business. "She worked her way into this," Meyers said. "A lot of people have talent, but they don't have a work ethic. No matter how much talent you have, you have to work at it."
Festerling brings her 4-year-old daughter, Ella, with her when she's touring with Big Tyme. Her husband, Brian, is an air traffic controller in Palmdale and travels with Festerling when time allows.
"It would be impossible to be gone this long without her," Festerling said. "She likes to be around the barn. She's the official treat feeder for Big Tyme. It's a priority for me to have Ella here." Ella hasn't expressed an interest in riding but loves animals, Festerling added.
A rigorous training, riding and teaching schedule as well as the business she runs with Meyers, keep Festerling in what she calls "competition form." "It's only possible because Brian's onboard with me," she said. "It takes years of hard work and practice to compete at this level."

OK - here we go! To all of you 'Zona fans...
Any of you that claim to be true Coach Miller fans watching the "Fish That Saved Pittsburgh" on NBA TV tonight? Look for 'coach' standing in line for the open team tryout dribbling multiple basketballs. The 'first Coach Miller' (Sean's dad) used to bring him to a lot of the same camps that I went to as a kid. We were all more impressed by his cameo in the movie! ... :)
Bet you guys didn't know about his fame as an actor? You might have to wait until the credits to verify the story! LOL!
Rock it Sean!!!

Abstract—Grahne et al. have presented a graph algorithm for evaluating a subset of recursive queries. This method consists of two phases. In the first phase, the method transforms a linear binary-chain program into a set of equations over expressions containing predicate symbols. In the second phase, a graph is constructed from the equations and the answers are produced by traversing the relevant paths. Here, we describe a new algorithm which requires less time than Grahne's. The key idea of the improvement is to reduce the search space that will be traversed when a query is invoked. Furthermore, we speed up the evaluation of cyclic data by generating most answers directly in terms of the answers already found and the associated "path information" instead of traversing the corresponding paths as usual. In this way, our algorithm achieves a linear time complexity for both acyclic and cyclic data.

A local company has designed a product they say will literally eat up oil and turn it into water. Now they want to take it to the Gulf Coast to help out. The company, Infinite Green, created Bio-Rem 2000. It is designed to eat up oil, just leaving the water behind.
Kevin Santillie helped create the cleaner. He said, "It is designed specifically to consume hydrocarbons. That's what it does as quickly as it worked. That's what its doing, consuming that."
Infinite Green says the product was recently perfected. But unlike other clean-up products, the creators say this one is different.
"Our product is specifically designed to eat only the hydrocarbons. So you bring a bird to us that's covered with oil, we can spray it down with our surface cleaner and that bird will rid itself off all the crude oil and still be able to float and fly and act like nothing happened," explained Mark Lowary, Co-owner of Infinite Green.
The goal is to take the product to the Gulf Coast and help out in the oil cleanup. They want to take the oil off the surface, and remove it from plants, animals, the shoreline, and the rest of the environment.
Right now they are trying to contact the Department of Ecology and BP down in the Gulf, but as of now, have heard no response.
"It'll come in a more concentrated form and it will just actually be added to the water application to the ocean and it'll take care of itself," said Santillie.
Infinite Green leaders say they will continue to reach out to try to get their product to the gulf to assist with the clean-up.

Change could be coming to the school district's food services program, change that could affect the employment of cafeteria workers throughout the town's four schools.
As School Superintendent C. Richard Canfield begins the process of putting together his budget for next year, he has started exploring ways in which he can save money without sacrificing programs.
One possible savings that is being investigated is turning over the school's food services program to an outside company, the superintendent said.
"I do need to feed the kids and feed them well, but if I can save money on that in order to preserve programs, I'm going to do that," Dr. Canfield said.
The change would affect the school district's 24 cafeteria workers. Last year, the school department spent a total of $636,432 on its food service program, according to figures provided by schools business manager Michelle J. Austin. Nearly half that amount, $309,072 was spent on salaries, while the remainder was spent on food, maintenance, supplies and uniforms, and taxes. Food costs nearly matched the salaries expense, at $302,947. The superintendent declined to comment on how much he expected he could save by going to an outside firm because he is just starting his investigation.
"We owe it to the taxpayers to look into it," Ms. Austin said. She echoed Dr. Canfield's assertion that the school administration is just at the exploration stage, and added that "we are not looking to put anyone out on the street."
Dr. Canfield said that he has already met with food service workers and told them what he is doing. He said that after that meeting, many of the workers approached him with gratitude that he had spoken to them personally before they heard it through the rumor mill. He noted that some people in the administration confronted him and said it was insensitive of him to bring it up right at holiday time.
"I said there's never a good time," the superintendent said, pointing out that budget negotiations begin as soon as the Christmas break is over.
"It was more important to me that I have that meeting when I could as opposed to starting the budget conversation and have people hear it second or third hand," he said.
The superintendent also said that he would expect any outside company looking to take over the district's food services would want to keep the existing workers in place, at least for the first year. He would expect any bids to contain such language.
"Think about it, if you were coming in here to take over food services, what would be your best source?" he said, pointing out that the current cafeteria workers already know the kitchens, the schools, and the clientele.
"They know our students, our faculty, our administrators," he said.
After that first year, however, the company would make its own decisions with regards to keeping on staff.
"If you are a good worker with a good work ethic then you have a promise of continuous employment; if you're not, then the company is going to make the decision that most companies make, and that's probably the way it should be," he said.
At a meeting of the board of selectmen and the school committee earlier this month, Town Manager George H. Dunham told both boards that a two percent increase in the budgets for both the general government and the school department, along with a projected 10.6 percent increase in school assessments, would still leave the town with a deficit of a little less than $200,000. Dr. Canfield told the board that in order to provide the same level services and programs next year he would need a 4.8 percent increase in the school budget. The superintendent said that anything less would lead to a reduction in certified and non-certified positions.
"The most important thing we do is educate the kids, and that means instructionally what we do in the classrooms, the programs that we run, and first and foremost, we should be protecting that," he said. He said that he feels an obligation to the town's residents whose tax dollars fund the school system.
"They don't do it with the idea that our primary job is to provide adults with jobs; our primary goal is to educate children," he said.
