text: Past experience suggests that Congress will not permit a federal program to have a major adverse impact on private competitors; hence, pressure is not likely to be excessive. More importantly, it is a red flag, which I suspect Democrats will give up in order to secure a measure of bi-partisan support. The key issue is going to be how to pay for the cost of extending coverage.So on the issue of health care, at least, they are definitely not "left leaning" at all.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — A man is suing a Las Vegas casino saying he went there and got drunk and spent $500,000 gambling and lost it. He wants his money back.
Let's say the situation was reversed, say he won a lot of money, would he then say to the casino:
"Listen, I got drunk and came here and won a lot of money, I would like to now give it back to you."
Doubtful. Case closed.

I always listen to talk radio while commuting; mostly 610 and 790 because the 1560 reception is terrible between Seabrook and Deer Park. Heard an interesting call on the way home yesterday and thought I'd share it with you. The caller, like me, was a close follower of the Texans, Rockets and Astros. The point he was trying to make was "When did you think you would be telling yourself that the Texans are the finest run major pro sports organization in Houston?" (All due respect to the Dynamo, and although I also follow soccer closely, I realize MSL is not at the same level as the NFL, NBA and MLB. USA 2 - Mexico 0. Si se puede. Nice win for the USA last night)
The Rockets are currently in the throes of a mystifying malaise. TMac again did not play last night and says his knee that was operated on last off season is still not right. If he only had Dunta's heart.......co-worker calls him She-Mac. I like the way the GM Morey crafts his roster and Les Alexander is a great owner, always willing to pull the trigger on a major deal, but what has that gotten him? The Rockets are so inconsistent that they have become hard to watch. That meltdown aginst Milwaukee's 2nd string the other night was disgusting. Before the season started, I had high hopes that this would finally be the year that the Rockets made a real playoff run. Right now they look like they are a team in search of a floor leader. I still hope that they can at least get out of the 1st round, but I am not counting on it. The
Astros - Drayton McLane just plain pisses me off. That guy has more money than Bob McNair and Les Alexander COMBINED. Financially he is in the same league as Steinbrenner. He ran the Astros organization into the ground by essentially eliminating their minor league organization, which when Hunsicker was here was one of the best in all of baseball. Why did he do it? Because he runs the Astros like they are a grocery wholesaler and looks at immediate costs only. He gutted the scouting department, and then got so cheap that he stopped signing his top draft picks because he didn't want to make competitive contract offers (these offers are slotted by MLB, but he was too cheap to spend what Selig, et al recommended). What an idiot. That is why Hunsicker left. He then helped Tampa Bay get to the World Series in a few short years. Once the farm system is depleted, even the Steinbrenners of the world can't spend enough money to build a champion sloely through free agency. What is most galling of all is that he wastes no opportunity to tell anyone who will listen how hard he is working to field a competitive team. Remember when he was asking for public funds to help build a new stadium? He said "Build me the stadium & I will do what it takes to field a winner". He is no longer living up to that promise, and I am praying for the day that he will sell the team to a guy like Les Alexander or Bob McNair.
I am an avid follower of all 3 of Houston's major teams. I get crazy excited when any of them do well. The Rocket's back-to-back in the mid 90's was great. The Astros have provided many exciting postseason performances as well. Great stuff, great memories. Nothing to me though quite matches the excitement of football. I realize the readers of this blog may not give a crap about the Astros or Rockets, so this is definitely not the best vehicle to get a good sampling of Hoston's sport fans. The question I ask is "Are the Texans the best run major pro sports organization in Houston today?". I would greatly appreciate that you only respond if you are at least a casual fan of the other 2 teams. I know you are ALL Texans fans.

There are very few fights relegated to the facebook prelims that can get me as pumped as this one does. On the surface, you may read the title of this post and immediately call me crazy, and yes, it is a little bold, but I definitely think this fight has a solid chance of being fight of the night. Aside from the main event, this is honestly my most anticipated fight come this saturday. Joe Silva has certainly outdone himself here.
This saturday night, we are treated to watching two very different ground-centric styles clash, and I think this means a fight that will be contested everywhere. Jacob Volkmann (14-2-0, 5-2 UFC) is a dominant grappler, but he takes on the very aggressive Paul Sass (12-0, 2-0 UFC), a fighter noted for his submissions-first, position-later style.
Jacob Volkmann's style of fighting is no stranger to scrutiny for what some people consider "lay and pray", but I easily prefer him to most other grinding wrestlers. His style shows off incredible pressure, and he is very keen on advancing position. He boasts an impressive five fight winning streak in the UFC's lightweight division, after dropping down from welterweight after his first two career losses to Paulo Thiago and Martin Kampmann respectively. In this streak he's put together, he's faced a bunch of different styles, ranging from the aggressive and hard hitting Ronys Torres to noted wrestlers like Danny Castillo and Antonio McKee. In all of them, he's shown amazing positional dominance and some elite MMA wrestling. It would not surprise me to see him break into the top ten in the near future.
Paul Sass is an upcoming British lightweight who is noted for finishing eleven of his twelve fights by submission, eight by triangle choke and three by heel hook. He is coming off an impressive win over Michael Johnson which saw him go all out for some spectacular finish, eventually ending with him getting a heel hook midway through the first round. His style, both on the ground and standing, is very aggressive and very exciting, and he's always looking for a finish. He has faced increasingly difficult opponents as he came up in his twelve fight win streak, and he certainly seems ready to gain even more momentum in the future.
Stylistically, this fight looks very interesting. It is very likely that we'll see both fighters in their favorite positions, Volkmann with top control, and Sass with an aggressive guard.
At lightweight, Jacob Volkmann has shown to be a very powerful and overwhelming grappler. His positional control is on par with some of the best in the world, and he's shown that he can chain wrestle very well. Also, he possesses a slightly underrated submission game, but we have yet to see him use it in the UFC. When fighting a guy like Sass, if Volkmann doesn't want to be caught in submissions, that will probably lead to some interesting scrambles, possibly akin to those we saw in the TJ Grant vs. Carlo Prater fight last tuesday. His strength and balance may be a key factor in winning these ground exchanges.
I expect for Sass to have a few more tricks up his sleeve than just a triangle choke and a heel hook. He clearly is a high level grappler, and may be able to threaten Volkmann from more positions than just his open guard. I expect for him to attack with his bread and butter first, the triangle, and if that fails, move on to some slick ground work. I expect sweep attempts and endless submission threats.
I really hope that in this fight we do get to see some fun scrambles. You can never tell if Sass may latch on a tight submission or if Volkmann can take side control or mount. Scrambles are just fun to watch, and with two very high level grapplers, I am sure I'll enjoy it.
Perhaps even more intriguing than the chess match that will be the ground game is the stand up portion of this fight.
Volkmann possesses a conservative striking style (no pun intended), with few kicks and more straight punches than anything. He is still improving, and I expect him to be ready and willing to engage Sass on the feet. I always love to see fighters use straight punches effectively, and I expect Volkmann to try this in the fight.
Sass is an interesting striker. Clearly, he throws caution to the wind with some of the crazy strikes he throws, such as flying kicks and knees and wild punches. He can get away with such things because he is very good off of his back if his opponent catches him off balance, so he actually has what is pretty much a win-win situation. I look forward to seeing his wild style clash with Volkmann's by the book striking. I wonder whether Volkmann wants this fight on the ground or not, but Sass may very well give him some opportunities he can't pass up.
An X-factor in the striking department here is leg kicks. I believe that either of these men could definitely benefit from taking the spring from their opponent's step. It would give them the edge in footwork standing, and could negate advantages of the other on the ground.
Overall, I definitely think this fight is a surefire fun fight. It can either be a great grappling chess match, or an intriguing clash of striking styles, but I expect a happy medium. I would not want to miss this fight.

Business Daily from THE HINDU group of publications

Venture Capital
Markets - Foreign Institutional Investors
Our Bureau
Mumbai , Sept. 20
Hotelier Captain C.P. Krishnan Nair said on Tuesday that he is one of the promoters of Millennium India Acquisition Company Inc (MIACI), a `blank cheque' company listed with the American Stock Exchange. Mr Nair, who is the Chairman of Leela Venture, holds about 20,000 shares in the new company.
A blank cheque company is floated by a band of promoters (in this case, some NRIs and a few high-profile Indian businessmen) to raise funds through first-time offerings on the US bourses and use the cash to invest in Indian companies. Around 11.7 million equity shares were issued at an offer price of $8 per share.
Prospective business
"Post the listing on the American Stock Exchange, we have managed to pool in $58 million from the US investors. This corpus will be used to invest in Indian companies. The company's efforts in identifying a prospective target business will not be restricted to a particular industry. We will focus on privately owned businesses within financial services, healthcare, infrastructure and consumer, retail and hospitality sectors," said Mr F. Jacob Cherian, CEO, MIACI.
Speaking of the venture, Mr Nair said, "MIACI wanted good businessmen on its board and after hearing their proposal, I agreed to participate in the company. Such ventures will open several doors of opportunity for Indian companies."
According to the promoters, the selected Indian company will also have an easy route to the US bourses by associating itself with MIACI.
"We are looking for companies with good management track record and robust growth. The target company should have a fair market value (say, at least equal to 80 per cent of its net assets) at the time of acquisition," said Mr Kishore Mirchandani, a Director on MIACI's board. MIACI has 22 months more to spot a viable company and complete the capital transfer processes.

Nice write up about Morton Dean and the sorry state of international reporting.
Morton Dean: TV News "Spiraling Down Into a Deep, Dark Ravine"
Nice write up about Morton Dean and the sorry state of international reporting.
Filed under International News Coverage
Ordinarily many of us would be happy to hear that foreign affairs' issues dominated the news cycle.
But let's look at what the Pew Research Center for the Project for Excellence in Journalism reported:
PEJ News Coverage Index: September 21-27, 2009
Let's look at what is covered.
The opening of the United Nations' General Assembly dominated the news reports last week.
Why? I would bet largely because President Obama made his first U.N. speech.
But there were also the leaders from Libya and Iran. Definately newsworthy.
The next international item was Afghanistan.
No surprise there.
And then Iran.
Again. No surprise there.
In the case of Afghanistan, the issue is the war. And war is a regular feature of international news.
In the case of Iran, the nuclear and missile crises were the key points. (And it doesn' t hurt to have a president who says goofy things to get some ink.)
As far as the United Nations is concerned, the stories that came out hardly had anything to do with the major issues the U.N. will be facing nor with the work being done in the body. It was all about the speeches of a handful of colorful characters.
Filed under International News Coverage
Mexican journalists who dare to speak out against the drug cartels that seem to operate with impunity in Northern Mexico are an endangered breed.
Despite loads of money and a serious effort by the national government, local Mexican authorities all along the U.S.-Mexican border either can't control the situation or don't care to. (For many, they think it is the latter more than the former.)
Those that are not killed are silenced by intimidation or they flee to the United States to see asylum and safety.
One publication was bombed because the paper printed the cause of death of individuals in the obits. Too many were killed because of gang-related attacks. The cartel leaders decided this kind of "publicity" was not good.
The newspaper eventually stopped reporting any deaths.
Many of the cartels get tacit support from corrupt local government leaders. Despite efforts by the central government in Mexico City, the bribes that the drug dealers can shell out is many times the pay of law enforcement officials. So the killings continue.
The intimidation of Mexican journalists and the Mexican drug wars does not stop at the border.
Drug wars spill out into American cities.
And the latest death in the war against journalists is Norberto Miranda Madrid, Director of Radio Vision's Web page. He was gunned down September 24 in the border town Casa Grandes, Chihuahua. He was shot execution style in his newsroom.
Filed under Harassment, Killings
At a time when more events around the world affect the everyday lives of Americans, just about all U.S. media outlets are cutting back on their foreign coverage.
The bean counters say it is too expensive and besides, no one cares. (Surveys tell them that.)
Maybe the issue is with reduced staff the stories are not as relevant or as interesting. So people tune out. CNN still gets some pretty impressive numbers for its coverage and even that is not as great as it once was.
After being depressed about the lack of importance most U.S. media put on international coverage, I was happy to see that CBS and GlobalPost had reached an agreement to get more international reporting done for main stream media.
GlobalPost is a web-based news operation founded by former foreign correspondent Charles M. Sennott. The organization depends on stringers around the world and a full-time staff in Boston to bring news that otherwise is missedby the mainstream media.

Thanks to Tom Crampton in Hong Kong for posting this on his web site.
A while back reports came out that foreign correspondents in China were being attacked with malware.
The report by Malware Lab on the PDF attachment attack (Targeted Malware Attack on Foreign Correspondent's based in China) points out a few interesting points:
The "Pam Bourdon" emails on Monday targeted Chinese news assistants, whose names often do not appear on news reports and who must be hired through an agency that reports to the Foreign Ministry.
Considering that the contact information of these assistants was not publicly known, but was known to China's Foreign Ministry, an element of suspicion is raised concerning the involvement of the latter. However, there are alternative explanations for how the attackers were able to assemble the list of contacts. These attackers have been actively compromising targets since at least 2007, and likely compile lists of new targets from information acquired through previous exploits. In fact, the accuracy of the email used in this case, and the malicious attachment, suggest that the attackers leveraged information stolen from previously compromised computers.
There is no evidence that directly implicates the government of China in these attacks.
However, both the timing and targets of the attack do raise questions. With the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic if China fast approaching, it is difficult to dismiss attacks on high profile media targets such as Reuters, the Straits Times, Dow Jones, Agence France Presse, and Ansa as random events. These organizations were targeted directly, but the motivation of the attackers remains unknown. Furthermore, the use of compromised servers at the National Central University of Taiwan and the Taiwan Academic Network will no doubt add to an already tense relationship between China and Taiwan.
Tracking back the DNS shows the malware writers used a number of sites from Taiwan to Korea to California, a standard tactic of such attacks.

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) - A dog has survived a
110-mile ride on the hot engine of a pickup truck during a Southern
California heat wave.
The driver of a Chevrolet Silverado
felt the pickup move slightly after he stopped in San Clemente on Monday. He had just driven
from Chino to Orange
and Camp Pendleton.
The Orange County Register
(bit.ly/QFtxvg) says 52-year-old Jaime Magaña noticed fur above the left front tire
and he opened the hood to find a 25-pound dog atop the engine.
Temperatures outside were nudging
100 degrees.
Magaña called for help and
an animal control officer put the dog, nicknamed Chevy, into her air
conditioned truck.
It perked right up.
Magaña says he's seen the
dog in his Chino
The hunt is on for the dog's owner.

In a back-to-back set with the Canadiens and the Maple Leafs on the road to start the New Year, the Jets have dropped both games -- 7-3 to the Habs Wednesday night and now 4-0 in Toronto on Thursday. The shutout for the Leafs came at the hands of a solid team effort on both ends, led by Jonas Gustavsson in net, the second shutout of his career.
Toronto took this one from the start, heavily forechecking and causing plenty of havoc in the offensive zone to draw plenty of chances. Their gameplan benefited early on, with Phil Kessel banking one in from Joffrey Lupul just five minutes into the game.
A second goal came off of another tough effort to sustain pressure and offense just 1:22 into the second period as the Leafs were awaiting the whistle for two Jets penalties. They continued the cycle and Tim Connolly scored before either penalty was officially whistled, putting his team up 2-0 and still getting a power play to boot.
Toward the end of the second, the Jets finally earned some chances of their own and ended up outshooting the Leafs by the end of the period, but that didn't matter to Toronto in the third, as they capped off the victory with two more goals from Mikhail Grabovski and Clarke MacArthur, the latter extending his point-streak to seven games.
After their 10-3-1 run in December, Winnipeg's first two loses of 2012 have already started concerns for their season now that they won't have the cushion of home-ice advantage for 13 of 15 games for the rest of the year. Gustavsson for the Leafs, however, has continued to help his team win and earned the 4-0 shutout Thursday night.
"Right now, I think the Monster [Gustavsson] gives us as good a chance to win [as James Reimer does]," said coach Ron Wilson after Wednesday's practice (via NHL.com).
Gustavsson sure would have earned another start, not only because of the shutout, but being able to make a save without his glove or stick in the third period:

Boothing Windows
Apparently, Microsoft thinks that demoing their latest products at my university will drive sales, so they have a small booth in the cafeteria this week. (Most of the students have access to a free, legal copy of the most recent Windows versions anyway, so I don't fully understand why Microsoft thinks throwing money at stuff like that is a good idea.)
I talked to a really nice Microsoft person for about twenty minutes today, and I gotta say: Windows feels really snappy on the Surface RT. On other devices that are not optimized for the newest Windows versions, not so much, but the performance is still acceptable. Also, while using Windows 8 on a giant TV screen, I found that all the new touch gestures and hot corners and menus and stuff are interesting, to say the least - ome might even say that they're good, but I haven't used the OS for more than a minute at a time, so I don't feel comfortable expressing a definite opinion.
That said, I like the simple, colorful design more than, say, the approach Apple has been taking with iOS.
I don't really know what to say beyond that - you can read about the new Windows' numerous features online, and if Microsoft does a booth somewhere near you, go there and talk to a staffer, even if you hate Windows with the force of a thousand neckbeards. Microsoft products aren't neccessarily bad, even though they don't respect your freedom, Mr. Stallman. Also, the Microsoft employee I talked to was quite knowledgeable, though, let's face it, he tried to sell me on Windows - which is what he gets paid for, after all.
I'll stick to my MacBook and Android phone for now, but if someone decided to gift me a Surface RT (hint, hint), I'm sure I'd use it on a regular basis.

I was really excited last year against the Broncos when we identified a weakness in their secondary and exploited it several times. We need to be playing more aggressively if we want to beat teams like the Hawks and bring several new plays when we go up against the elite teams.
Where's Tonya Harding and her boyfriend when we need them??
Seriously though, I'm frustrated with the game planning a lot of times, too. Kubiak get's hard headed and wants to impose his will and run the ball regardless of the circumstances.
The success of a lot of his plays rely on the defense not know if it's a pass or a run because they start out the same. That can work great against a very aggressive or undisciplined defense, but not so much against disciplined ones that don't bite on play action fakes. Kubiak seems to be unwilling or unable to change it up on a regular basis.
If you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality. Halton Arp

This is my fifth mock draft and have made some changes from the last one. So I dont think Julio Jones is going to be there at 14 so i dont have him in the this mock. Just to be clear if he is there we will take him with out a doubt.
Round 1
Corey Luiget, DT- Illinois. Corey Luiget is a big hole filler so he will be able to stop the run well. He improves this D-line from day one and i see a very good future with him and Chris Long. Alternate pick: Aldon Smith
Round 2
Marcus Cannon- OG- TCU. I would hae liked to put Mason Foster here but I have heard he could be possibly be taken by the Lions. Just before us unfortunatly. So because of that I am having us take a OG thelp protect Bradford. Alternate Pick: Mason Foster
Round 3
Greg Jones, MLG/OLB- Michigan State. Greg Jones in my eyes will be used as a OLB especially if he is taken by us. He has very good closing speed, can make open field tackles, can play coverage but more of zone, and has a great motor. A downside is that he doesnt deliver a lot of big hits but i can live with that if he just makes the play. Alternate Pick: K.J. Wright
Round 4
Robert Sands, S- West Virginia. I would absolutly love it if Robert Sands fell to us. He has good size and speed. Can defend against the run and and can defend the pass. A all around great pick to lessen the need for a S. Alternate Pick: Derrick Locke
Round 5
Taiwan Jones, RB- Eastern Washington. As most of you already know he is a guy with amazing speed and elusivness. Many teams have been looking at him but im hoping we get him first. He will be a great back up to Steven Jackson which would prolong Jackson's career. Alternate Picks: Marcus Gilchrist
Round 7
Ryan Winterswski, DE- Boise State. A DE who had a very good season 2 years ago but declined this year because he had to play sonme TE. But should be a good pick.

Teen crash incident brings out more than one disturbing issue
I heard about the roll over, multiple teens, SUV accident through my daughter's friends calling each other and reaching out through social media. The word was multiple injuries, some bad. We worried because the people involved were neighbors and friends. We just hoped that there would not be a lot of bad news.
I looked for more news and the U-T and NBC 7/39 both posted online stores. Both allow commenting on stories, but you must be logged in through Facebook where your real name is used, no aliases. The main reason many news sources have eliminated anonymity in forums is because anonymous online discourse had gotten so insulting, disrespectful and downright hateful.
I realized while reading the comments that there are a lot of La Jolla "HATERS" out there. Below are some verbatim comments. Imagine what would be said if it was anonymous:
* Marlene: "Next time this same situation occurs in any area of San Diego, we better NOT hear of anyone being cited…what's good for La Jolla teens is good for EVERYONE else…just saying let's stop favoring and pampering those with money and penalizing those who have less $"
* Jeremy: "Being from La Jolla has it's advantages"
* Sunshine: "Law should be equal all the way across — La Jolla or not!"
* Erin: "The point is that if this happened in San Carlos now, someone in THAT wreck would have been cited."
* Ken: "So when do the 'rules' apply to the rich folks who live in La Jolla?"
* Todd" "Maybe it's time you parents actually teach your over entitled, spoiled children how to drive a vehicle, before just buying them one of their choice. Gotta love La Jollans!"
Those of us who live here know that there is much more economic and social diversity here in La Jolla than the perception of those who do not know us very well. Yes, we are fortunate to live here, but the implication that we are all in some kind of rich privileged bubble is absurd. Some really believe because we live in La Jolla that we are above the law and tragedy.
As this story unfolds, as the lawsuits get filed and the injured heal, we have a front-row seat to the damage done to people we know. We'll be hearing others gloat or degrade this collective tragedy.
It is sad.
John Dowd,
La Jolla
Just do it La Jollans!
Our La Jolla environment is being negatively affected by the presence of sea lions and harbor seals – dangerously polluted water, and almost unbearable smelling and unhealthy air leading to a loss of tourism. Suggestions to drive the sea lions away by negatively affecting their environment have included projected sound, fence removal, and plants. But why stop there?
Why not just get some dogs down there and scare them the heck away but not hurt them, and then take the mammal-hugging environmental penalty hit? If they migrate to another La Jolla beach, do the same. While we wish, wring our hands, hold our nose, plead, and plan committee meetings the problem just gets worse. Geez Louise.
Pete Ward,

La Jolla residents are a caring lot
This is the time of year to give thanks for many reasons and to many people. I am an older woman who drives around La Jolla in her handicapped scooter, and I want to give my thanks to a great many people whom I don't know, but who have been so very kind to me.
I wish I knew you all — the young man who jumped out of his car to retrieve a plastic grocery bag I dropped that broke open; the school boy who pushed the traffic signal for me; the Bishop's School girls who got me out of a deep groove on one of La Jolla's badly-cracked sidewalks; the many who've pushed a letter into the mailbox for me; but mostly, I want to thank the many young mothers whose children give me their charming smiles as we connect — each of us in own own vehicle.
Add to the list, the employees of the many stores who make shopping in La Jolla possible as well as pleasant. I shall lift a glass to each of you.

Time for municipalities to change water policies
The recent watermain break in La Jolla, "Repeat water line breaks on La Jolla Streets raise concerns about infrastructure" (Nov. 12, La Jolla Light) is a red flag that our current water management systems need to be overhauled.
If we don't make changes, like including more competition in how the area's water systems are managed, taxpayers and ratepayers will end up paying exorbitant utility bills and huge liabilities in the future.
A recent study conducted by the National Taxpayers Union found that nearly a half-trillion dollars in government expenditures could be saved over the next four decades if processes like the adoption of open procurement for pipe materials and better asset management are incorporated. These are among the proposals supported by the Mayor's Water Council of the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
It's time that our leaders become more proactive in supporting fiscally responsible approaches to water policy, both here and across the United States.

A thought on the Christmas vs. Holiday parade
Yes, things change, but if I grew up in an area that had a tradition of a particular event, then others moved to my town and wanted to change that traditional event, would I be happy about it? Would you?
La Jolla has a long tradition of having a Christmas Parade and even though it represents a particular religion, it should be allowed to continue and to be enjoyed and visited by all of the people who are interested. No one makes anyone participate, who does not want to, so if it offends someone, they do not have to attend.

La Jolla Christmas Parade name must remain hallowed tradition
For a number of years, an effort has been underway to eradicate the joy of Christmas in La Jolla by attacking the decorations along Girard Avenue, the use of the Christmas tree, and now, the name of our Christmas Parade. Is this not just local, but part of a larger movement?
Changing the name of our Christmas Parade has become a vital issue deserving more than a corner of the front page in our local paper. This issue is not just about the name of the parade. The Christmas Parade, the Christmas decorations, and the Christmas events in the Village have been the traditions of La Jollans for years, and represent our culture, our values, our heritage, and our beliefs. Will we allow some to take this away from us?
Fifty years ago, our Village was filled with Christmas color and cheer, excitement, children's programs, carolers and camaraderie. Today we are hesitant and half afraid to speak the words, "Merry Christmas."
La Jollans wake-up! Rise to the occasion. Don't allow this to happen here. Let us evoke our First Amendment rights that allow and protect our freedom of speech, and so allow us to call our parade whatever we prefer! La Jollans, don't be afraid to call our Christmas Parade, The Christmas Parade!
Patricia Weber
La Jolla
Parade name isn't about being PC, it's about showing respect
This year, doctors, teachers, firefighters, our military troops and countless other people devoted to improving our lives will join us in enjoying the La Jolla Christmas Parade on Dec. 8. Many of these fellow La Jollans are non-Christians, agnostics and atheists. Perhaps the least we could do is give the parade a name that reflects the broad range of religious beliefs of our altruistic public servants? Or do we not want the citizens who spend their lives in the service of the people to feel welcome at community events?
I agree with those who claim that tradition is important for our community, but to say that our tradition should be to call it the Christmas Parade because it always has been that way is a fallacy. In a democratic society, we should strive to serve the entire citizenry, not just its most powerful majority.
Ulysse Carion
La Jolla
What's in a name? Quite a lot.
As far back as December 2004, as reflected in the article, "Thousands expected for holiday parade," the La Jolla Light has referred to the name of our December community event as a "holiday parade."
Readers, please ask yourselves why the Chula Vista Encinitas, Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach parades are now "holiday parades" when they were formerly "Christmas parades." Why did the City of San Diego change the name of its two-day event in Balboa Park from "Christmas on the Prado" to "December Nights," and since its inception in 1978, the Holiday Bowl has welcomed everyone. Would the "Christmas Bowl" have been a more encompassing name choice? And of course, the "La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival." Which one of the above named events lacks diversity and inclusiveness?

LOS ANGELES (CNS) – Kelly Hrudey, who played goaltender for the Los Angeles Kings from 1989-1996, will be honored by the team in a ceremony before tonight's game at Staples Center against the Calgary Flames.
Acquired in a 1989 trade with the New York Islanders, Hrudey made the most saves in Kings history, 10,151, and is second in victories. He led the team in victories in six seasons, tied with Rogie Vachon for most in franchise history, and in goals against average for five seasons, second most in team history.
Hrudey was named as the team's most valuable player in the 1991-92 and 1994-95 seasons, the unsung hero in the 1993-94 season and as the most popular player and most inspirational player in the 1994-95 season.
All fans in attendance will receive Hrudey-style bandanas.
Tonight's game is the second of an abbreviated two-game Kings Legends Night Series during the lockout-shortened season when the team will wear its vintage purple and gold jerseys.

BLOG: Orchestras and New Rep. | 8.15.13
NPR Posted a very interesting article on American orchestras and their relationship (or lack thereof) with new music.
I was pretty intrigued by it and the author raised a number of interesting points. Namely, that the idea has been passed down in modern composition departments that it's a futile endeavor to write a large orchestral piece. The argument is mainly from a practical standpoint; orchestras are big, unwieldy beasts, and the costs of rehearsal time and performances almost completely outweigh the opportunity of in-depth exploration for both the orchestra and the composer. It's unfortunate we've arrived at this point, but there it is. Read more.

Many composers write their pieces as solutions to problems or questions they pose for themselves, and I'm no exception. Nearly every piece I've written has been an attempt at approaching some sort of dilemma I've conjured up from who knows where. The problem (or question) could be a kind of formal shape, a rhythmic pattern, a harmonic idea… you name it. My fifth string quartet, Outside the Eyes, written for the Third Angle New Music Ensemble, will encompass a number of ideas, questions, and challenges I've put forward for myself, some of which I've been carrying around for many years and a few I've developed especially for this occasion.

The Astros may have a losing record, but they have been outscoring their opponents. I feel confident that if they continue to do so they will see their win loss record improve. They may even have a number of wins lumped together to catapult them up near the top of the division for a short period of time. I don't expect them to maintain a lofty standing, but I can see them having a good run at some point. What should the Astros do around July 31st if they are 3 or 4 games out of first place?
First, we could go ahead according to plan and blow it up. This makes sense if any success that the team has had in the standings is unsustainable, and conventional wisdom says it will be. I have a gut feeling that has come from the shadows of baseball lore that tells me that young teams are volatile (and that the manager, if great, can keep them together). I have no idea if that is really true or not. But blowing up the team regardless of their record makes a lot of sense if a team this young team can't be counted on to compete past the deadline. Trading away this class veterans (Lee, Wandy, Myers, Downs, Happ, and (if the price is right) Norris) probably won't have as big an impact on the Astros' performance as when they dealt Pence, Bourn, Berkman, and Oswalt. So not only will trading them away be good for the future, but it probably won't really hurt the current season all that much anyway. It is possible that Wandy could be dealt for a player who could improve the hitting/defense (a third baseman) and have much of his production replaced by a pitcher currently in AAA. Such a trade would actually make the current team stronger, be good for the future, and make it easier to part with Downs and Lee (who might just be a negative anyway).
There is another option. We could mimic the 2011 Pirates. The Pirates have a July 31st "sell by" date marked on all their players every year, but they had a crisis last season, they were still in the playoff picture. What could they do? They were ahead of schedule. Were they for real? They could have gone all in and traded away top prospects for high-end rentals, but they didn't. They went ahead and picked up a couple of B-level rentals whose cost wouldn't break their farm. Did they win? No. But they did show that they are willing to compete when the stars align, which does have value to fans and players. The Astros have a lot to gain by being as competitive as possible. The fan base is broken, abused by Selig, and angry, so if the starting pitching is still strong and the offense hasn't fallen apart by the deadline they could add few bullpen arms without breaking the bank to keep the team interesting into August and September.
Probably, by mid July, the Astros will have floundered enough to make the decision easy. Lee will be given away with a 10 million dollar mail-in rebate, Wandy will be sold for a few interesting prospects, Myers will net us some minor league relief pitchers and no team will meet the asking price for Norris. Yet I can't help but feel optimistic as I watch this team play. Unlike last season they have a chance to win any given game. And, I am embarrassed to admit this...my brain knows it's silly and childish...but my heart hasn't given up on giving the rest of the NL central a run for it's money.

Why do some people see dead people?
Why do some people see dead people? why do some people see dead people?....
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Well, there are a few explanations .1) the person is schizophrenic and is seeing delusions.2) sometimes it isn't the person who sees the ghost that is 'gifted' it is just that the ghost is strong enough to be seen by anyone. My husband had a ghost in the house he grew up in. Everyone in the family saw it and guests to the house saw him as well. He never spoke, was never threatening, he was just there sometimes when you went into a room.3) some people are just really sensitive to things that are paranormal. No one really knows why this is for sure. Some speculate that it is genetic. For example, I don't see dead people but I have a very strong sense of evil. I've been places or been around certain people that made me feel extremely uncomfortable only to find out later that something horrible happened there or that the person had something very dark that they were hiding. My father has the same ability. I don't think of it as paranormal as much as just really good instincts. Truth is no one knows why some people have paranormal abilities and the rest of us don't. And keep in mind that not all people who claim to see the dead really can. Some people are just really good con artists and are experts at what is called 'cold reading.' It's pretty easy to manipulate people or predict what they are thinking when you know how to read body language.
What Girls Said 11
because they were touched by death
Because their priest told them all they have to do is believe? =/
I don't know its weird though
they work as morticians.
brutally rational conclusion, bravo.
Because were lucky :)
i see them, sometimes clearly like a face and body. oftentimes it is just their outline. I just attract them somehow but have worked hard to have a stronger presence so they do not try to attack and feed off my energies like has happened a few times before
It doesn't matter. People will rape you inside of their brain. It's almost impossible to avoid someone who is hot for you and they will come and rape you with their mind. And, guys do that for fun. They just find someone who is horny and tease and run it's same as sexual harass but never noticeable.
IMO sex is a very personal thing so I'm for sure going to be selective. I haven't web kissed a guy yet so that's pretty far down the road for me. I don't have a strong beliefnto wait for marriage but I want to wait until I'm ready
Yeah... sex is definitely something more than just release I think. Men knows but they won't tell. I don't know exactly but it's like they draw your soul out of you and hold it until you forget about it, but just about you get out of nightmare of dragged down the road, they will come back again and get more juice that you just replenished. I mean if your husband is worth it, it's OK. but all men are basically creepy like snake so I don't know.. It's like giving something you didn't exactly mean

Some people hallucinate as part of a bigger mental disorder. Some people hallucinate on drugs. Some people attract spirits of the dead, lol.
I don't know why - but I see them all the time. They're everywhere.
I have a sixth sense
because theyre on drugs...
My aunt can see them, she was born with some weird scar on her stomach.
What Guys Said 6
It was a pre-requisite of being someone employed by ACORN a poll-watcher. That's how the dead are able to vote, after all...
some people believe stupid stuff enough that it turns into hallucinations
I've seen about forty, but most were in coffins.
I see dead people. They call them 'hallucinations' and 'delusions' - I treat them with contempt (they call that paranoia). Which is 3 of the necissary criteria for diagnosis, hawww hawww hawwww.
Sounds like schizoid / paranoid visions to me. Not that there's anything wrong with such things -- I think ultimately even the most bizarre and unsettling hallucinations may ultimately serve some instructive or enlightening purpose.
Some people be crazy.

New Rock Hall inductees Heart to play two shows in the area
WHO: Heart.
WHAT: Rock.
IN TOWN: 8 p.m. Tuesday, Bergen Performing Arts Center, 30 N. Van Brunt St., Englewood. Sold out.
ALSO PERFORMING: 8 p.m. Thursday, Mayo Performing Arts Center, 100 South St., Morristown. Sold out.
FOR MORE INFORMATION: heart-music.com.
The most successful and trailblazing sister act in rock-and-roll expected 2012 to be fruitful, with a career-spanning box set, their biography and a new album on the agenda.
Then, unexpectedly, Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and helped pay tribute to their idols Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center Honors. The grand finale came in December, when Heart was chosen for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
"We knew it was going to be a really busy year, but then a few things jumped up that we weren't expecting," Ann Wilson said by phone. "To be inducted into the Rock Hall, to be acknowledged by your peers for making a difference, is really gratifying. If Nancy and I have done one thing that really influenced people to move ahead in their lives, that's huge."
Heart, which will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April, performs Tuesday at bergenPAC in Englewood and Thursday in Morristown. The band is promoting its 14th studio album, "Fanatic." Released in October, "Fanatic" brims with Ann's commanding, passionate vocals and Nancy's at turns fiery, groove-laden riffs and delicate folk melodies.
The majority of the album was written on the road, giving it a more organic feel and lyrical diversity than past Heart releases, Ann Wilson said. Highlights include "Dear Old America," about shell-shocked soldiers returning home; "Walkin' Good," featuring guest vocals from Sarah McLachlan; the stirring ballad "Pennsylvania"; and the frenetic title track.
"In the old days we would go to a beach house on the Oregon coast and just be in this little songwriting enclave," Ann Wilson said. "But now I think I write better being out in the world."
Ann and Nancy Wilson formed Heart in their hometown of Seattle in 1974, a time when rock groups led by women singers and guitarists was extremely rare and summarily dismissed. Heart fought industry and audience prejudices and sexism to establish itself as a musical force.
The band's 1976 debut, "Dreamboat Annie," featured the Top 10 single, "Magic Man." Sophomore effort "Little Queen" followed with Heart's signature tune, the classic rock staple "Barracuda."
The track is a blistering send-off to the band's first record company, which used especially lowbrow tactics to market the unsuspecting Wilson sisters.
A decade later Heart reached new commercial heights, selling 5 million copies of its self-titled 1985 album on the strength of hit pop singles "What About Love" and "These Dreams." The band has sold 35 million albums over the course of its career.
The Wilson sisters chronicled their groundbreaking journey in "Kicking & Dreaming: A Story of Heart, Soul, and Rock & Roll." The biography was published in September.
"You put a book out when you meet a critical mass in your life and you just feel like, 'I want to talk about this now,' " Ann Wilson said.
"The box set ['Strange Euphoria'] came out over the summer and the book seemed a natural accompaniment. They both tell our stories, musically and personally."

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) today unveiled a map identifying interstate highway locations where motorists will be legally permitted to drive 70 miles per hour beginning this summer. The new designations follow recently passed legislation permitting speeds to increase from 65 to 70 mph on certain sections of interstate highways. H.B. 51 - the state's transportation budget bill, which goes into effect on July 1, 2013 - increased speeds to 70 miles per hour on interstates that are "outside urbanized areas."The 70 mph speed limit is not new to Ohio. Motorists are already legally permitted to drive 70 miles per hour on all 241 miles of the Ohio Turnpike. And according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, 34 other states in the nation have some posted speed limits of 70 miles per hour or higher including Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky and West Virginia.ODOT is making 317 new signs to comply with the legislation and to alert motorists to the increased speed at a total cost of $8,287.19. The signs are expected to be in place and revealed on July 1. •8 are "Reduced Speed Ahead" signs•48 are brand new speed limit signs•261 are sign pieces that will simply overlay the current 65 number with the new speed limitThe new law increases the speed on 570 miles out of 1,332 miles of interstate highways in Ohio.
The exact location of the speed increases are:Interstate 70• From the Indiana border in the west to just outside of Wheeling, WV in the east, excluding Dayton, Columbus and ZanesvilleInterstate 71• From the Jeremiah Morrow Bridge in southwest Ohio to just south of the border of the Cuyahoga/Medina County line in the north, excluding ColumbusInterstate 75•From just outside of Toledo going south until just north of Dayton, excluding Findlay and LimaInterstate 76•From just outside Akron going east to just west of YoungstownInterstate 77 •From just outside of Canton south to the West Virginia borderInterstate 90•From just outside of Cleveland to the Pennsylvania border

Proposition two appears to be sparking a record voter turnout both locally and statewide in the state constitutional amendment election. The secretary of state expects this to be the highest ever voter turnout for a such an election, and so far he's right. A record 13,000 have already cast early votes in Lubbock County, so NewsChannel 11 wanted to know what's really drawing people to the polls in record numbers.
For the Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays group, PFLAG, a rally held at Texas Tech on Tuesday was a race. They wanted voters to hear their message before heading to the polls.
"This amendment in the Texas Bill of Rights denies rights to Texans," said PFLAG President, Ricky Waite.
The group said defining marriage between one man and one woman directly lashes out toward homosexuals. "It doesn't change anything that's already outlawed with the definions of marriage act, but to have it in the constitution is basically saying gays and lesbians are second class citizens," says Watie.
However, no amount of protesting would sway Karen McMillian. "I just am a strong believer that that institution was made for a man and woman only and I felt very strongly about it, I want it to stay that way," said McMillian.
The Lubbock County Elections Office has been bombarded with callers asking where to vote. Lubbock County Elections Administrator, Dorothy Kennedy said proposition two alone drove hundreds to the polls. "I think a lot of church groups have gotten together, pastors have really pushed their congregations because we've had several calls about, 'our church is coming and we want ot know where to go vote,'" said Kennedy.
Proposition two or not, Daniel Castro said he would exercise his right reguardless. "Just the ability to exercise my freedom to vote is what really brought me out here, and if something's going on in the world, I want to make sure I have a say so in terms of my position," he said.
Waite said even if you're for proposition two, he still wants you to vote.
"No matter what your opinion is get out and vote and express your freedom to decide how your government's going to treat you," said Waite.

Been a lot of talk recently about Sather and his shitty drafting up until recently but I think It's time to compare ourselves to the rest of the Atlantic division. For the first time since 94' the Rangers this year have a chance (a great one really) to capture the division title. Whether or not they win more of these really is going to come down to how well they draft compared to the rest of the division.
2000-2004: Teams draft picks that made it to the NHL and have had decent careers.
NYR- Dominic Moore, Henrik Lundqvist, Fedor Tyutin, Marek Zidlicky, Ryan Hollweg, Petr Prucha (It was a good run), Corey potter, Nigel Dawes, Lauri Korpikoski, Ryan Callahan, Brandon Dubinsky
NYI- Dipietro (The guy earned a 15 year contract right?), Raffi Torres, Frans Nielsen, Shawn Bergenheim, Bruno Gervais, Robert Nilsson, Chris Campoli, petteri Nokelainnen, Blake Comeau,
PHI- Justin Williams, Roman Cechmanek, Jeff Woywitka, Patrick Sharp, Dennis Seidenberg, Joni Pitkanen, Jeff Carter, Mike Richards, Colin Fraser, Alexander Pickard
PItt- Brooks Orpik, Colby Armstrong, Maxime Talbot, Ryan Whitney, Erik Christensen, Marc Andre Fleury, Matt Moulson, Dan Carcillo, Tyler Kennedy, Alex Goligoski, Evgeni Malkin
NJD- Mike Rupp, Deryk Engelland, Paul Martin, David Hale, (Can't believe i'm about to write these next two) Aaron Voros, Cam Janssen, Zach Parise, Travis Zajac
Funny to look back on this right? Who really drafted the worst during this time period? The Islanders clearly. They didn't get one star. The Rangers got Lundqvist, while the other teams got Parise, Carter, Richards, Malkin, Fleury. Looking back at this the Rangers didn't draft as bad as people think compared to the rest of the atlantic.
Let's look at 2005 until now: *NOTE: for how recent players have been drafted the less amount of games will be less of a factor. For instance i'm going to throw Carl Hagelin on this list. This is more opinionated by me as i'm assuming they'll become decent NHLers.
NYR- Marc Staal, Tom Pyatt, Artem Anisimov, Michael Del Zotto, Derek Stepan, Carl Hagelin, Dale Weise, Michael Sauer
NYI- Andrew Macdonald, Kyle Okposo, Matt Martin, Jared Spurgeon, Travis Hamonic, Josh Bailey, John Tavares, (Nino Niedereitter)
PHI- Steve Downie, Claude Giroux, Andreas Nodl, James Van Riemsdyk, Luca Sbisa, Sean Couturier
Pitt- Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang, Jordan Staal, and he's played a lot of games this year Joe Vitale (But who knows how long he'll be in the league)
NJD- Nicklas Bergfors, Mark Fayne, Matt Halischuk, Adam Henrique, Mattias Tedenby, Jacob Josefsen, Nick Palmieri
From this group I think the Rangers stand with the best in terms of quality and quantity. Not to mention some of these teams definitely benefitted from having picks within the top 10 while the closest the Rangers got to the number 1 pick was pick number 10. All considering the Rangers did very well in these years compared to the Atlantic, and I think if you compare it to the rest of the league you'll see they did very well in that light as well.
So what do you think guys? You shocked, not surprised, or disappointed at the Rangers drafting? I thought they did pretty good even though they selected Hugh " Expletive " Jessiman. Also pissed how they took Bobby Sangs istead of Claude Giroux who went one pick later.

Glorious names
10:34am Thursday 7th June 2012 in Readers' Letters
WHEN I was a young lad growing up in a naval family I used to think that the words 'send her victorious, happy and glorious' in the National Anthem referred to ships of the Royal Navy as I had heard of HMS's Victorious and Glorious.
Today on the actual date of the Queen's Jubilee I was motivated to check if there had ever been an HMS Happy and was a little surprised to discover that such a ship had existed until 1804.
Would it not be fantastic if the next three ships built for the Royal Navy in this year could be named Victorious, Happy and Glorious?
