CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (MarketWatch) — Follow the leaders?
That's the premise of Hulbert On Markets, of course. But an equally worthwhile approach, which nevertheless often gets less attention, is the functional equivalent: Avoiding the losers.
It's that latter approach that is the focus of this issue. What have the losers been upgrading in recent weeks? How does their upgrade list differ from that of the winners?

All right, it's a little terrible that I need to ask for help on my PORTFOLIO. I have always been moderately good at coding, but design is not my strong suit. My websites ALWAYS come out looking terrible and amateur. I'm confident I'm plenty good enough to get some work done for ma' and pa' businesses done, but I still want to improve. No matter what I try, I cannot be satisfied aesthetically with my website. (HundleyDeveloping.com) I think I know what is bugging me, but not how to fix it. First of all, I think I may need to change the headers? Perhaps they are too styled? Second, I cannot get the layout of the text right. It just does not look right two columned like that, but on the other hand I don't think it would look good single columned either, because my content area is too wide. I could solve that problem by adding a sidebar, but I simply have nothing to put there. Lastly, the lack of graphics seems to bug me too. But, where the heck am I going to get graphics?
Again the site is HundleyDeveloping.com
Thanks in advanced guys, I really appreciate any help given.

Thousands of high school students and their families flocked to the Junior League of Montgomery's 29th annual College and Career Night.
They had the chance to hear directly from dozens of college recruiters from across the country. That is if they could handle lines. Students appreciated the chance to speak one on one with the schools in which they're interested.
"You don't find a vast majority of colleges in one spot at one time," said Brittany Dallas, a senior at LAMP. "Rather than visiting each campus and adviser or representative, it's a good opportunity with them all in one place."
Students also heard about scholarships and grants to help pay for colleges.

Taking the North Country to Northern India
On to Varanasi (Benares): November 13, 2004
There's so much to say. Lets see, I don't remember what I told you about last. Um, on one of my free days in Rishikesh, I got my eyebrows threaded (like waxing but it's really cool, because the woman just uses a piece of thread) and a facial. The next day we started our two-day rafting adventure. Most of you know me and tubing--we don't go together like peas and carrots. Before we started rafting, they were explaining what to do if you fall out, and I was freaking out. As the day went on I got better and had fun with it, although, I won't deny it, whenever we hit really big rapids and were supposed to be paddling really hard, I sort of just got into my "get down!" position. :) On the first day there were only two really big rapids, which was nice, because it gave me lots of time on the easy rapids. But on the last rapid of the day our guide was like, "So, if we're going to tip anywhere, this is the place, so brace yourself." Of course, that really scared me, but everyone made it through "The Wall" still on the rafts.
Now I kinda wish one of the rafts had tipped over. Our camp was the sweetest thing ever. There was a giant, white, circus-looking tent that we ate under (and the food was amazing--we had chicken for dinner!!!!!!--I hardly ever get meat here.) And then there was a row of really cute walk-in tents with two beds for us to sleep in at night. After rafting we made the best of the day by playing volleyball, playing World Cup soccer (Dom and I, playing as England, tied with Nigeria--mike and Haeli...ahhh, gts), and then at night we had an intense game of Mafia. The next day we hit more rapids and a bunch of more fun. On some of the small ones we added little twists to going down them, On one rapids everyone stood on the sides of the raft and tried not to fall in, and then on another we all jumped out and just floated down it (it was cold but fun--and once again, the Ganga there is cleaner than it is in Varanasi--so we were all ok).
After our rafting adventure, we went that night to see a puja in downtown Rishikesh. I was totally zoning out for a while and then it sort of hit me...I was standing next to the Ganga in India watching 7 and 8-year-old Krishna devotees swaying and chanting to the prayers that this group of older devotees were leading, and I almost started crying because it was just really cool. It's so amazing being here, but at the same time it's hard to feel like I'm completely soaking everything in. because there is just soooooo much going on. I'm worried that I'll come home and people will say, "So how was your fall semester?" and I won't know what to say, because it's all so wonderful and horrible and amazing and surreal--I dunno. Anyways, the next day we said goodbye to all the kids at the orphanage, and it was really cute because they made us all cards and I got one with a little poem, and then at the end it was like, "I love you sooooo massh." hehehe.
We rode for an hour in rickshaws to Haridwar where we got on the train. The ride out there was really eye opening because we had been staying in the tourist/rich person section of Rishikesh and the longer we rode the more I got to see of the differing economic levels in the city. It went from rich, to middle class, to poor, to extremely poor.
Cows really are everywhere. One was nonchalantly walking through the crowds on the platform. When we first got on the train, it was crazy--there was no room, and people and backpacks were everywhere. We were on a sleeper carriage because it was supposed to be a 23-hour ride (but of course it ended up being 25 hours). I don't really know how to describe it--it reminded me of what it must have been like in steerage class on the Titanic.
Once that hellishly long ride was over, we arrived in the holy, ancient, crazy city (I think all the cities here are crazy) of Varanasi, aka Benares. As we were finding our way out of the station to find rickshaws, we passed this cow lying on the ground with one of its horns cut off. It was all bloody and was dripping blood on the floor. I thought it was fake at first, like it was some really twisted-sick joke, but then I realized it wasn't. Which was worse.
We got these really cool old-school white cars to take us to a possible hotel, and ours was super-cool because it had these little blue lights on the ceiling, so it looked like we were in a club or something, but we were just squished in the back of the car. The hotel was full but we had some really amazing Middle Eastern food (it's sad, but I feel like I know more about other food than I know about Indian food). Then we crammed two people each (with all our baggage stuff) onto 7 bicycle-powered rickshaws and got rides through crazy Varanasi in the middle of the night--two nights before Diwali for that matter. It reminded me of those Visa commercials where they list how much stuff cost, and then at the end they show a moment and they say, "priceless". Yeah, so it was a priceless moment, and it sort of made me think of The Sound of Music when they're all riding on their bikes and singing. We weren't singing, but there was a bit of a competition going on to see who could get in the lead, which probably wasn't the best idea because we were all falling out of the little seats and the traffic here is insane, but we all made it to the hotel in one piece.
There's so much more to say--I'm in a homestay again and I'm going to start volunteering and doing an internship soon, and Diwali was last night, but I need to go, so I'll try to write another letter soon.
love you all lots, Becks

Zogby Poll: Vast Majority Believe Media Is Biased
Of particular significance: "nearly two-thirds of those online respondents who detected bias in the media (64%) said the media leans left, while slightly more than a quarter of respondents (28%) said they see a conservative bias."
Other findings of interest:
- "97% of Republicans surveyed said the media are liberal, two-thirds of political independents feel the same, but fewer than one in four independents (23%) said they saw a conservative bias. Democrats, while much more likely to perceive a conservative bias than other groups, were not nearly as sure the media was against them as were the Republicans. While Republicans were unified in their perception of a left-wing media, just two-thirds of Democrats were certain the media skewed right – and 17% said the bias favored the left."
- "As the influence of blogs has risen, mainstream news organizations have attempted to get in on the action by creating their own blogs to counter those run by private citizens and those not in the news business. But American voters remain skeptical of major news outlets diving in to the blog pool – 26% speculated that the reason news organizations are placing blogs on their Web sites is that 'blogs give news organizations a chance to promote a political agenda they could not promote in their regular broadcasts, cablecasts, or publications.'"

The Moldy Peaches were somehow lumped into those "return of New York rock" puff pieces at the turn of the decade, despite the fact that they rocked about as hard as the fluid in Grandma's goiter. The booger-eating moron brainchild of the two of the most grating people on the planet, the Moldy Peaches were the equivalent of a seventh-grader from gifted class screeching "Cheese monkey!" at bullies until they were too sad and confused to give him the beating he so clearly deserved.
Oh yeah, remember how those kids said "crack" a lot too. Crack's funny, right? Haha. You know, like on crack. Yeah. Hahaha. Crack. Oh man, "Panama Jack." British people loved this as much as they loved other awesome things from the decade, like the Darkness and the Iraq War. Some sample lyrics from this gem: "I am a goat / In a moat / With a boat."
I'm not some old cynic who can't understand the appeal of childhood nostalgia as a way to channel the old, good, innocent times. But when will people realize this shit just reveals more about how most people are just painfully uncreative adults?

No. 48: The Moldy Peaches, "Who's Got The Crack?"
The Moldy Peaches were somehow lumped into those "return of New York rock" puff pieces at the turn of the decade, despite the fact that they rocked about as hard as the fluid in Grandma's goiter. The booger-eating moron brainchild of the two of the most grating people on the planet, the Moldy Peaches were the equivalent of a seventh-grader from gifted class screeching "Cheese monkey!" at bullies until they were too sad and confused to give him the beating he so clearly deserved.
@DJP: They had major money behind them, man. And to think of all of the artists out there, you know, trying to be actual musicians and doing interesting things at the same time as this poo. It's shameful. It pays to have the same manager as the Strokes, no?
This was single of the week in the NME. Also, their album was released on 9/11.
Okay, so I love Kimya Dawson, and I find her music to be less childhood-evoking than a completely parody of said approach by applying it to depression and self-hatred (see "Nothing Came Out," the whole of Hidden Vagenda).
This song is decidedly not that, but I do find it hilarious, in its ramshackle construction, in how much goddamn joy the shove into the titular question, in the laughter during the "boat/moat/goat" construction, when the song has clearly worn out its posture.
@NedRaggett: Nope! And that's okay.
Meanwhile, I have totally misremembered this song. There's no outright laughter anywhere, but they seem on the verge of it throughout.
This feature is unbelievably cathartic for me. Snark, when well-placed and intelligently written, is such a beautiful thing, and since snark itself has been worn so thin, I had forgotten. (I promise I'll say that even when/if you inevitably tread on a nerve.) I also promise not to fawn all over every single post in the series, I just want to give you your due, Weingarten.
Did the Brits really love the Iraq War that much? Or was it just Blair?
This pick really makes me worried that something like Joanna Newsom's "Peach Plum Pear" is going to end up on this list. Which I would have to strongly disagree with. Honestly, I feel like the appropriate analog to the Moldy Peaches' track would be something like Toby Keith's "Courtesy Of The Red White And Blue (The Angry American)".
@cryptosicko: My Humps at least has some comedic value, which has been exploited for the betterment of society. Who's Got the Crack? offers nothing. NOTHING!
the real crime here is the true genius of this stupid ass "anti-folk" scene hasn't gotten nearly any of the recognition he deserves.
@brasstax: "Who's Got The Crack?" earns its > almost exclusively on the grounds that, unlike "My Humps", I've only heard it once and am unlikely ever to have to hear it again.
@BradNelson: I am most definitely not talking about musicianship in the chops department. I am talking about the act of being an actual musician as in an artist as in somebody who thinks more than a millisecond about what they do and what their art is about and what it is for rather than laying down poopy doody drug jokes on their four track just like hundreds of 12 year olds out there who just learned C and G on a guitar. That's what I mean by actual musicianship.
@Lucas Jensen: Yeah, about a second after I replied I thought, "Man, Lucas probably means that other thing," so I'm sorry man, that is a totally righteous position to take. I just think that there are manifold other songs in this decade that deserve true, bottomless hate than, well, a "poopy doody drug joke" that I happen to think is quite ridiculous and fun. That says a lot about me, probably.
But we still have the Moldy Peaches to thank for the great Spin Doctors revival of 2002, right? Ahem.
@Thierry: I'd listen to the Spin Doctors' third or fourth albums (there was a fourth one, right?) a hundred times each before I'd listen to one Moldy Peaches song voluntarily.
@brasstax: Would that be the one with the hidden cover of "That's The Way I Like It" feat. Biz Markie? 'Cause I think I might by the Moldy Peaches over 100 times that one.
I'm not willing to go all the way to the mat for this band, but it seems like either a) you're being too hard on them, b) you have a personal beef with one or both of the members, or c) both. Guess what: some people (me) think the singer of the Strokes is a little "grating," especially in a live setting. I saw both bands in the same year at the same venue and the Moldy Peaches were more entertaining and endearing than the rock-by-numbers Strokes. Also, the Strokes are no muso-technicians, either. The drummer knows one beat, and that's it.
Like I said, not fully advocating the Moldy Peaches, but to put the Strokes up as some sort of rock n roll gold-standard is laughable.
Of course you won't see The Strokes on this list either. I think they may too many connections for that, and they're not that good either. These guys seem to have some nostalgic hold-over from the grunge days. They were on the Juno soundtrack?
I do consider all of the concepts you've offered in your post. They're very convincing and can certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are very short for newbies. May just you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.

Markel Brown scored 18 points, and the No. 15 Oklahoma State Cowboys had little trouble Saturday in a 78-65 home win over the Texas Longhorns.
The Cowboys are now 12-4 in Big 12 play, and they held on to their third-place standing in the conference through Saturday's games.
Brown did a lot of his damage against the Longhorns shooting free throws, going 9-of-9 from the foul line. His 4-of-9 performance from the field seemed pedestrian, but one of those four makes was anything but:
Texas toiled through Saturday's game as it has the rest of the season. The Longhorns are now 5-11 in conference play and are 13-16 overall, making them three games under .500 with two regular-season games to go. Texas has not finished a season under .500 since 1997-98, when it was 14-17 and 6-10 in Big 12 play under Tom Penders. Penders left Texas after that season, and Rick Barnes has been the Longhorns' coach ever since.

PATCH GROVE, WI (WTAQ) - A tornado touched down Tuesday night in far southwest Wisconsin, as severe thunderstorms rumbled through the southern part of the state.
Grant County authorities said the twister landed near Patch Grove around 7:40 p.m. There were no immediate reports of damage.
Numerous trees and power lines fell in much of the southwest quarter of Wisconsin. 80 mile an hour winds were reported at Red Mound in Vernon County. Some parts of the region had golf ball-sized hail.
Over 11,000 Alliant Energy customers in southern Wisconsin lost their power Tuesday night – but by 6 a.m. Wednesday, that number dropped to less than 1,000.
In southeast Wisconsin, almost 6,000 We Energies' customers were without power during the night due to heavy storms. That included around 2,800 customers in Cudahy, just south of Milwaukee. Their electricity was restored late Tuesday night.
Forecasters expect more thunderstorms Wednesday. They'll mainly be in the eastern half of Wisconsin. Some could be severe, as a cold front collides with a moist air mass.
Highs Wednesday are expected in the 70's and 80's. Once the rain clears out Wednesday night, much cooler and drier weather is predicted statewide. Most of Wisconsin might not get to 70 degrees on Friday and Saturday.

Minibus, taxi operators to file suit this week
'We will sue!'
BUS and taxi operators will this week file suit in the Supreme Court challenging a number of policy decisions that have affected them, including the revocation of route licences by the Transport Authority.
The class action suit will also seek to challenge a decision to commandeer a section of the Mandela highway for the exclusive use of Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) buses, and the directive that rural buses that terminate in downtown Kingston cannot pick up or drop off passengers along the way while in the Kingston Metropolitan Transport Region (KMTR).
The claimants will also be seeking an injunction to bar the continued enforcement of the decisions that the affected say have robbed them of the means of making a living.
Attorney Hugh Wildman made the announcements yesterday while addressing a mass gathering of members of the various associations representing bus and taxi owners and operators at the Four Seasons Hotel, in Kingston.
"What is taking place in the transport sector is a web of illegality and you are the victims," Wildman told the gathering. "These lawsuits are going to expose the illegalities."
The attorney said there is no legal basis for the actions taken by the authority, and that the legal team he is leading will be asking the court to declare them illegal.
Wildman elicited howls of approval when he told the gathering that they were entitled to get back "all that (they) have been deprived of in damages" when the court rules in their favour. "And with interest too!" shouted a woman in the crowd.
The Transport Ministry last November gave permission for a lane of the Mandela Highway to be used only by JUTC buses during peak hours. It was a trial run that was eventually extended and made permanent by policy this month, Wildman told the Jamaica Observer.
The move, however, was unpopular with other bus operators who felt that they should have been afforded the same privilege.
But the bus and taxi operators' biggest grouse was with the decision of the Transport Authority to not renew the sub-franchise licences of some operators within the Kingston Metropolitan Transport Region, which includes sections of Portmore and Spanish Town, both in St Catherine.
Yesterday, one speaker after another urged unity among bus and taxi owners and operators if they are to be successful in their struggle against what they say is a great injustice against them.

`Grid computing offers much for common man'
Our Bureau
Hyderabad , Jan. 3
IN about four years, personal computers, mobile phones and several other electronic items could actually be free, with people having to pay only for services, according to Dr Raj Kumar Buyya.
Such a scenario would be possible thanks to the awesome power of computing, said the Director of Grid Computing and Distributed Systems (GRIDS) Laboratory, University of Melbourne.
At a workshop on `Ubiquitous and Grid Computing,' organised by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, Dr Buyya said just like water, power, gas and telephones, IT too has been added to this list ofessentials for a home in scores of countries.
Referring to the initiatives in several governments, including China and India, and research drives by corporations such as IBM, Oracle and Microsoft, grid computing that harnesses the power of computers will make life much more comfortable.
Areas such as e-governance, healthcare and telemedicine are among a few broad areas where grid computing can be used. `Virtual surgeries' could be possible in the next few years, where a human model in a digital form can be simulated and experiences applied in the real life situation, Dr Buyya said.
The Director of Anurag, DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation, Dr K.D. Nayak, said Indian technologists have made remarkable progress in supercomputers using grid technologies forced by a situation where the US refused to part with Cray computers. Highlighting some of the major projects initiated in India, Dr Nayak said the Centre for High Computing and Research (Chitra) is at advanced stage of testing a network of grid computers that have been indigenously developed. Issues such as scalability have also been addressed. But while it is proven that the Indian can do it, Indians in India are yet to harness the potential in them for applications in the country.
Citing the case of China, Dr Nayak said the Chinese government has embarked on a major project that has developed processors for its own applications. Over the next four years, China plans to invest about $4 billion and replace all the existing systems with processors developed indigenously. India needs to emulate them.

From the beginning, when searching for a summer experience, don't hold back. Persistence and enthusiasm can only help you.
Name: Marah Wilson
Major: Double major in dance and psychology (concentration in dance therapy)
Internship: Luke-Dorf, Inc.
Location: Portland, OR
Briefly describe your internship and your responsibilities as an intern.
Luke-Dorf's Healing Community is a private, nonprofit agency. Rooted in evidence-based practice, Luke-Dorf helps people with severe mental illness. More specifically, the agency provides residential treatment facilities and mental health treatment and recovery through case management and group-based therapy. As an intern for Luke-Dorf, I worked both as a residential counselor within the supported housing, as well as a dance therapy intern at the treatment services location. As a residential counselor, I worked within the treatment housing, interacting and aiding individuals in need as they worked to create routines and set goals. I administered medications, prepared meals, and created daily structure in the patients' lives. Dissimilar from my assistance as a residential counselor, within the treatment services site, I was able to somewhat abandon my place as authority and take on a learning position. The day consisted of group-based therapies in dance, art, and socialization, among others. Primarily, I shadowed my mentor and site supervisor, dance therapist Beth Lucchi. Through participation and personal initiative, I was an active contributor in the circle created for all group-based therapy sessions. As both intern and residential counselor, I felt the weight and responsibility for creating consistency and close exchange with my clients on both the one-on-one and group basis.
How did you find your internship?
During the fall of my sophomore year I decided I to find direct exposure in the field of psychology. Most preferably, I wanted to look for an experience in dance therapy, within my home state of Oregon. After searching the Internet for practicing dance therapists, I e-mailed the most prominent names, telling of my goal to learn about movement-based therapy. Following my letters of interest, I began to develop a relationship with my soon-to-be site supervisor, Beth Lucchi. We found a connection in our mutual enthusiasm for the field, leading to my work with Luke-Dorf.
What resources did you find particularly helpful in your internship search?
The Career Development Office helped to create a résumé that I was proud of and, therefore, eager to share with possible employers. Having an account of my relevant and influential past experience in résumé form provided a basis that launched me into the researching process. In addition, I consistently communicated my persistence and enthusiasm to the agency, eventually leading to my employment. The Internet proved to be my most helpful database. I started with organizations; however, I found the most luck when actually researching practicing dance therapists. If I was able to find out enough about these individuals' paths and stories in a therapeutic setting, then I felt inspired to share my own motivations as a student.
Why did you choose your internship? What factored into your search and applying?
Initially, all I knew was my own aspiration to experience a therapeutic environment first hand. I saw the summer as a chance to incorporate all that I was learning at Goucher, amidst the Dance and Psychology departments. While dance movement therapy is on the rise, it exists currently in a transitional period. The creative arts therapies are making their way into most hospital and clinic settings. Luke-Dorf is one of few locations in Oregon to integrate the creative art therapies into its group-based dynamics. For this reason, the agency was ideal. In addition, the deeper I reached into the application process, the further certainty I found. I experienced a need to relate all that I had learned in the classroom setting to a real direct introduction to mental health. My ambition was to find a place where I could not only be exposed, but also take on the responsibility of direct contact and individual support.
What were you most apprehensive about going into your internship?
I had no experience working with the mental health population, whatsoever. Indeed, on an academic level, I felt highly confident because the professors at Goucher have challenged me extensively and taught me a lot about the field of psychology. Yet, there is no comparison of leaving the theoretical to learn and directly approach the population face to face. Due to my age, I was very apprehensive about acting as an authority figure in adult-based group housing; I would be assisting people with greater life experience than I had. My trepidation was limited in a sense because I truly had no idea of what to expect.
What did you hope to gain from your internship experience?
I was pursuing exposure to a therapeutic setting. My essential hope was to learn all I could from those surrounding me. I was aware of the significant and fascinating path my mentor Beth Lucchi had experienced in the field. My hope was to learn all I could from this wealth of knowledge. In addition, I was determined to ask all my questions. While my presence at Luke-Dorf would be to help and learn responsibly, I concurrently was aware of my own personal intention of cultivating knowledge. Within client relationships I anticipated my introduction to a range of mental illness. I wanted to affect and be affected. My learning would be endless.
How did your internship experience influence your academic and career interests/goals/plans?
My internship was a direct field placement in my major domain. In acquiring my position at Luke-Dorf, I was able to gain exposure to the line of work and aid I am so drawn to at this point in my life. I have always been aware of my interest and love for working with people. My summer allowed for time to experience my effect on people with severe mental illness. It was striking to feel such confirmation in my own adherence to the population. Such interest evolved into a known path I yearn to follow in the field of psychology, most specifically in dance movement therapy.
What were the most challenging aspects of your internship?
What was most challenging in this experience was ultimately the most rewarding. Entering the treatment facility at the start of each day, I was immediately conscious of the weight of my position in the patients' lives. The individuals' presence and needs were consistently and significantly affecting for me. Yet, so often the immensity of what clients go through remains hard to set aside when your shift comes to an end.
Any funny/embarrassing things happen during your internship?
Inevitably there were innumerable hilarious moments and situations where reality and delusion would meet. I must say that in the beginning I found myself overloaded with information; consequently, I was met with embarrassment more than once (as one should be). With far too many clients in need, medicine to be administered, and a breakfast to be made by 7a.m., I approached an individual to give words of reassurance and lend my help with their medications, when this patient was, in fact, actually my co-worker.
How do you feel your internship prepared you for the real world?
The influence of those I was surrounded by throughout this summer left such an immense affect on me. I feel extremely fortunate to have been exposed and immersed in the work of Luke-Dorf's Healing Community.
What advice would you give to students to help them make the most of their internship experience?
From the beginning, when searching for a summer experience, don't hold back. Persistence and enthusiasm can only help you.

It rained all week and the decks were closed for most days due to wind.. thats fine. I know that you can't have perfect weather all the time.. but there was little to do if you should run into this.
I LOVE to gamble.. but the SMOKE in the casino was so overpowering that it filled up the promenade most nights like a cloud making it not an option to enjoy a night in the casino.
The Piano bar man who was playing was not really fun. He made the songs his own not allowing anyone to sing along.. :( I love to sing along.. really needed more good music as it it the way to bring people together.
the ice show was amazing..
The production shows were oK i think that Carnival has a better variety of fun shows, comedy than RC does... would have loved some comedy options..not too many on this ship.
I am 44 and love to have fun and am open to many things.. I just felt like this ship was NO FUN at all..and filled with uptight people, who find it fun to listen to piano/violin music and do the waltz..outside wasn't an option.. so there was not much to do inside for 5 days.. I was a bit bored really. The dining room staff was not as fun.. I remember singing and dancing at dinner time on Carnival.. this dining room was pretty uptight as well.
It is a beautiful ship .. don't get me wrong.. but I will be going back to having fun .. with friendlier people on board in the future.. I WANT TO LAUGH AND HAVE FUN..

Some Captains Say Federal Limits Hurting Mississippi Charter Fishing IndustryBy Rhonda Miller | Published 15 May 2012 12:54am |
Only two red snapper can be caught under federal limits, even though Mississippi fishermen say the waters are full of this favorite species. MPB's Rhonda Miller reports some charter boat captains say the regulations are damaging one of the state's important economic engines.
After 15 years in the charter boat business, Steve Perrigin of Strictly Fishin' Charters of Ocean Springs knows what his customers like.
"Red snapper is a prime species of fish for the table. Amberjack, the same thing with them. And we have a lot of our customers come down just to catch those two fish, but with the limits now being so small, this customer base is going away. It's just not feasible for them to make the trip and to pay the expenses for a couple of fish."
Perrigin has downsized to a smaller boat, he stays closer to shore and he catches different fish.
"Yeah, I pretty much got out of the offshore fishery because of the limits and the seasons." (What do you hear from your fellow charter boat captains, as far as these particular fish?) "It's killin' us. It's killin' our business."
In its report to Congress on the Status of U.S Fisheries, released yesterday, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says red snapper and amberjack have been over-fished in the Gulf of Mexico.
Galen Tromble of NOAA Fisheries says the annual report evaluates more than 200 recreational and commercial species, and every type of fish can't be assessed every year, so there's a lag time in the report, especially about red snapper.
"We have made a determination that will come out in the next report that the stock is no longer subject to over-fishing and at some point the stock will be large enough to come off the over-fished list."
Dale Diaz is director of the Office of Marine Fisheries for the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources.
"There are a lot of other fish out here to catch. Our charter boats here in Mississppi are fortunate. They do very well catching red fish and Spanish mackerel and king mackerel."
NOAA Fisheries says there is not any direct link between the new report and the impact of the oil spill.

White and Blue Lion ink and kit is recalled after a skin infection is reported.
The Charlotte attorney that filed a lawsuit on behalf of the CIAA tells WBTV the cases will likely be dropped against several promoters.
The suit, filed February 14, claimed several promoters were not authorized to use the tournament's name and logo to promote their parties.
It alleged their parties "unfairly compete with official CIAA sponsored events" and "falsely creates the impression these events...are authorized, sponsored or approved by the plaintiff, when they are not."
Attorney Carlos Watson said the "CIAA resolved lawsuits with all named defendants." Those defendants included Allure Life Entertainment, Michael Walker, Southern Dynasty Entertainment, Torri Entertainment, 5th Element and Dream Nightclubs, Maz Entertainment, Neighborhood Theatre, BrightWork Entertainment, Paradice Entertainment, Lion Tribe Entertainment and various John Does, Jane Does and online advertisers, party promoters, concert promoters and merchandise counterfeiters.
Watson said filings will be made soon to dissolve the suit.
A permanent injunction is in place so companies cannot use the CIAA logo or name without written permission.
"The league's position was never about money, but the CIAA's legacy and to maintain its good name," Watson said.
Watson said he was glad to see this resolution and hopes people in the future will no infringe on trademarks.
"We're doing a service for the community..people come out have a good time," Promoter for 5th Element Nightclub Jemel Sturdivant said. Sturdivant said he didn't see the harm in using the CIAA name or logo in advertisements and said it was done in the past without any problems.
A cease and desist letter was sent asking companies to stop using the name and logo.
"We had to throw away fliers, we had to remake stuff," Sturdivant said.
Indeed, a check Friday of some of the website and companies named in the suit appear to have corrected their marketing tools.
Elvado Lang of Paradice Entertainment said he feels this was a "misunderstanding on the part of both parties."

We just celebrated Joe's birthday and as per his request I made his favorite dinner rolls. Buttery and delicious, they were the perfect accompaniment to his other requests: Mushroom and Meatball Casserole, this time made with steak instead of meatballs, leaf lettuce salad, fresh cauliflower, and a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard Cake from Dairy Queen.
This roll recipe is from the King Arthur Flour Company and is truly best when using their flour, which can be purchased at most grocery stores. I have discovered that all my yeast breads are definitely better using their flours and well worth the little bit extra it costs.
I also use this recipe to make the most delicious hamburger buns that are especially good when they have a tasty pork chop inside that was grilled with apple wood chips! These are also easy to make and later in the week I intend to use it again to make miniature monkey bread bunt cakes with miniature loaf pans I forgot I owned but found in the back of my pan cupboard during the kitchen cleaning last week!
Best Ever Dinner Rolls
2 cups warm water
¼ cup melted butter
2 large eggs
6 ½ cups white flour
½ cup sugar
2 TBS. yeast
Combine all ingredients and mix either by hand or with mixer until you have a soft, smooth dough. Knead by hand for a few minutes or with a dough hook in your mixer. Place dough in greased bowl, turning once, and allow to rise for 1 hour.
Grease a 9 X 12 baking pan. Divide dough into 20 pieces, shaping into balls. Place in pan and cover. Let rise for 30-40 minutes or until they begin to get puffy. Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes or until golden. (This will depend on your oven.) Cool on a rack and brush with melted butter. Makes 20 heavenly, buttery dinner rolls. Can be frozen with good results.
Best Ever Hamburger Buns
Mix as above but divide dough into 16 balls and flatten slightly. Place apart on greased cookie sheets and allow to rise for 30-40 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes. Cool on racks and spit for buns. Can be toasted before serving. You can also add 1 tsp. onion powder and 1 tsp. minced onion flakes or 2 tsp. garlic powder or powdered ranch dressing mix when mixing dough for a flavored bun. Can also be topped with sesame seeds before baking. Makes 16 buns and can be frozen with good results.

What a tease! I am drooling! I recently went low-to-no carb and this is just too tantalizing!
You are my new hero…

I just made these rolls but I think I let them rise too far the second time. Now it looks like a large loaf of bread in my 9 X 13 glass pan with barely noticeable lines between the dough blobs! But I am baking it anyway and I am sure we can tear off a piece to eat it! Thanks for the recipe and for your blog!
don't you desolve the yeast in the water before mixing all together, or is there any curtain order to mix the ingredients?
Hi! I was wondering how much wheat flour one would add if making wheat rolls? Thanks
do you use just white flour or bread flour?
I have made this recipe a few times since I found it, and everyone loves it! Great recipe, thank you. I will definitely try doing the hamburger bun recipe sometime.

After six weeks of the 2012 season, only two teams in the AFC have a winning record. Those two teams will face each other in Week 7 in the marquee NFL game on Sunday.
The sole team with a better record than the Texans or Ravens is the Falcons, who are on their bye week.
However, neither team will enter with the momentum that is usually associated with a 5-1 record. The Texans are fresh off their first loss of the season after allowing Aaron Rodgers to rack up 338 yards through the air and six passing touchdowns in a 42-24 loss.
While the Ravens enter with four straight victories, none have been pretty, as Baltimore has had to claw for four victories by a combined 13 points. Also notable for the Ravens was a recent string of injuries that will leave them without Ray Lewis and Lardarius Webb for the rest of the season, while Haloti Ngata and Jimmy Smith are each questionable for the Week 7 game.
For the Ravens though, the 2012 team has relied much more on a Joe Flacco-led offense that ranks No. 7 in the NFL and is the third-best in the league at not turning the ball over. To make up for the defensive losses, the Ravens will need to take advantage of a Texans secondary that looked especially shaky against the Packers.

Hello, Browns fans! OBrienSchofieldismyHero here, writer for Acme Packing Company.
The Packers are off to Cleveland Browns Stadium to take on the Browns in preseason action. Which means that the game likely determines which UDFAs make the team, which veterans don't, and the end result is likely meaningless.
Here's to a great, injury-free game this weekend. (knocks on wood furiously). Seriously, we don't need more of those in Green Bay.
On another note: Joe Thomas is awesome.

10ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING: Courtney Stodden Got Breast Implants!!
My monocole just fell into the china teacup I was holding and I let out a gasp that was heard all the way from Los Feliz to West Hollywood when I heard the shocking news that Courtney Stodden got breast implants over the weekend. I don't think any of us saw this coming. How could we? Why would we think that a
29 18-year living Barbie would shy away from cosmetic producers? Actually on a less sarcastic note, she did just say in an interview with E Online,
I absolutely love my body and everything about it.
You lied to us, Courtney.
Ms. Stodden is at least very open about her surgery. Way, way too open. She shared photos of her before, after, and during the surgery. My favorite photos are the ones of her leaving the hospital, Some Dude From Lost at her side, she in a breathtaking Victoria's Secret Pink tracksuit, hoodie unzipped, so we can see her new breasts gently cradled in a godawful beige strapless lace boob shelf. Why am I even describing this when you can see all this raw human emotion for yourself?
The Daily Mail provided us with these timeless photos and also let us know that, "Courtney opted for a DD-cup size saline implant, boosting her already large breasts." I'm including all the photos, but not the video, because even I have my limits. There's one photo in there where she actually looks like a teenager. See if you can spot it.

Wait! Does that mean….. gasp! Her boobs weren't that big before??? What does this mean? She padded her bra in every other picture!?!?!? So may lies! So many….
The photo of Doug showing her how to fill out the paperwork. Priceless.
I think she got her older implants replaced with the bigger ones…kind of like rotating your tires and then getting rims put on.
God no, her older ones were already too big for her tiny body.
Her breasts were the same size before the "surgery" as after the "surgery". You're not falling for this, are you? LOL
Another give away is that Courtney is carrying a very large and most likely heavy purse out of the hospital after the "surgery". If you actually have a boob job, they tell you not to lift anything heavier than a glass of water for a few weeks because it can affect the healing process and create issues like capsular contraction. LOL. They didn't tell Courtney and Doug – or she just insisted on carrying the purse cuz it looks good. Puleeeaaaze.
Actually, the photos of her in her pink sweats, with jacket unzipped and exposing her ridiculous lace bra.. that was BEFORE the surgery..She hired photogs to follow her every step of the way. After, she had the decency to wear her jacket. Of course she had to go out in public with her jacket hanging off and down. This girl does nothing but put on disgusting displays and lie. C cup my arse.. Can't even admit she stuffed the VS bras, too. Like we had to hear any of it.. or see any of it..
You shame David Tennant by putting his face in a post about Courtney Stodden.
This girl is a joke, shes my age and I would never think of trying to look like that. Her appearance is between a tranny and a 40 year old stripper.

The Patagonia R2 is the perfect combination of a technical women's fleece jacket that also doubles as a comfy, everyday sweater. It is cozy and breathable but it is not a wind-resistant or thick, warm fleece.
If price is not a strong consideration, this is a great option, but if you need something less expensive, there are plenty of other options, such as the North Face Khumbu. If you want something thicker and warmer, check out the Mountain Hardwear Monkey Woman. Or if you would rather have a wind resistant jacket, the Mountain Hardwear Mistral is a cozy choice. See how this compared to other fleece jackets in our Best Women's Fleece Jacket Review.

OutdoorGearLab Editors' Hands-on Review
The Patagonia R2 is maybe the most versatile fleece I reviewed, performing well under just about any circumstance. It is lightweight and great for stuffing in a pack to bring with you on an all-day adventure, but it is also cozy and stylish enough to wear around town. It layers well and dries quickly when it gets wet. This fleece breathes well during high- intensity activities, and the mesh-lined pockets can be unzipped for even more airflow. It also has a soft, furry fabric that adds extra comfort. Also, it is lighter and breathes much better than other furry fleeces like the Mountain HardWear Monkey Woman or the Marmot Flair.
A big part of Patagonia is the history, manufacturing process, and philosophy behind their gear that is told in Let My People Go Surfing by Yvon Chouinard. Highly recommended reading.
I felt that the waist hem was a little baggy, which I think makes the fit slightly awkward and sometimes lets in too much air. However, when running or hiking this helped it breathe. There is no hem draw cord, but this cuts back on the weight of the jacket.
Best Application
This fleece is a great stand-alone layer for any cool weather activity like running, hiking, or camping and backpacking. It can also be used as a warm layer under other shells or jackets.
This is one of the most expensive fleeces, and sometimes it is hard to justify the cost for a mid-layer. It is also one of the most useful fleeces, so if I had to pick one, I would strongly consider the R2 as an option. The Arc'teryx Caliber Hoody serves a similar function and adds a hood for a cheaper price, but it is not as soft and cozy as this one.

The 'Surrendered Wife' Take 6
From Michelle Obama to Kate Middleton to Victoria Beckham — the 'surrendered wife' seems to be making a comeback. If you're not au fait with the plot here goes — a decade ago Laura Doyle wrote The Surrendered Wife, a step-by-step guide to marital romance and harmony. Doyle's book urged women to relinquish control to their man and to refrain from baiting or provoking him. Allow him to solve your problems, she urged women, so he never has a sense you might be cleverer than him.
SO asked six women to comment.
A Surrendered Wife Without The Enemy Or Opponent...
By Nicole McLaren-Campbell, MSc
AIM Educational Services
The traditional definition of the term surrender is to "stop resisting an enemy or opponent and submit to their authority". Hopefully no wife sees her husband as her opponent or enemy, and certainly this is not the way I see my husband. So I think "surrendered" is a misnomer based on what the tenets of the "surrendered" wife are (according to Laura Doyle, the best-selling author of the book of the same name). Doyle does highlight some aspects that are critical to a happy marriage — for example, I think respect is the foundation of any healthy relationship (which definitely goes both ways). Also, we both require support from each other to achieve our goals, for ourselves and our family. To be honest, because I have to be in control, so much in my work life, I am relieved to 'surrender' to someone I trust and believe in —- so I am 100 per cent happy with my husband having 'control' of household finances and major things, like building our house, for example. It's the best feeling ever!
I always express appreciation for him, to him, and I don't have the time (or inclination) to attempt to control him. I do trust him.
I think my disposable income however, has little to do with whether I am surrendered or not since I work very hard and love having control over my personal finances. I also absolutely love focusing on my children and my own 'self care and fulfilment' ... so I guess you could say I am a very happy, 'surrendered' wife — without the enemy or opponent!
The Surrendered 'Dance'
By Melanie Schwapp
I have never heard my husband laugh so hard as when I asked him if I fulfilled the requirements of a 'surrenderd wife' as listed by Laura Doyle. After the laughter had subsided and I took my bruised 'great wife' ego to a quiet place, I reflected on Doyle's theory. I realised that I had indeed changed from that starry-eyed bride, 21 years ago, when I had not for once taken into consideration the challenges of marriage. There were confrontations through the years, but the most binding aspect of those differences was that we began a sort of dance, and we learned the steps together. We learned when one partner was to take the lead, and when the other was to follow. I truly believe that in many aspects of my marriage I have become a 'surrendered wife', acquiescing to my husband's lead because I learned that he was wiser in those areas. However, in the same respect, my husband has relinquished many aspects to me, and as much as he may not like the term, he has in many instances become a 'surrendered husband'. But marriage is just that - two lives trying to fall into step with their own dance. To the world, they are swirling happily to the music, but only they know the many practices they had to endure to fall into mutual rhythm. So I say to Laura Doyle — I am enjoying my dance, even though we are still learning the steps. And I say to my husband, 'he who laughs last...'
There is one important aspect that Doyle seems to forget in her theory of the surrendered wife - husbands are human, and very capable of making mistakes. What then of the balance that a wife's guidance and intervention may bring? There is the risk of wrong financial decisions, alcoholism, infidelity, even abuse. If she is surrendered, she will not interfere with her husband's decisions, and the whole aspect of a marriage, of combining the strengths of two individuals is therefore lost. In my opinion, a 'surrendered wife' is one who has chosen to take the easy way out. Marriage is challenging only because it requires individuals to learn compromise and respect, sometimes in the worst situations. It is only when each party opens up about their needs, their beliefs and their vulnerabilities that intimacy truly begins - and isn't that what sharing your life with someone is all about?
A Woman Can Have It All
By Jackie Stewart Lechler
Director, Stewart's Auto Sales
With public figures such as Kate Middleton and Michelle Obama, it is hard to differentiate between their private and public personas as image and positive publicity are functions of their husband's profession.
I do not think for the average woman the 'surrendered wife' is making a comeback. However, in pursuit of harmony and balancing our desire of having a family and a career, a woman constantly seeks that fine balance between being an individual and being a nurturer.
I believe that a wife respects her husband's opinions whilst cherishing her own, receives his gifts graciously and returns the favour, expresses gratitude for him and thankfulness for herself, appreciates his intelligence without concern for her cleverness.
There is a place for being a trusting, respectful, grateful and faithful wife when these attributes have been earned. I believe that household finances are best done by the individual best suited to the task.
We are mindful that there still exist cultures and religions where women are marginalised, where education and independence are withheld, and the role of a woman is to please her husband and elders. We are mindful that the small pleasures that we take for granted, such as driving a car, are forbidden or a privilege.
The concept that a 'Surrendered Wife' would lead to abundance and more satisfying, connected sex is an insult to the hardships borne by our mothers, grandmothers and forebears in their quest for equality.
Our Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller is a standard bearer that women can have it all - a family and the highest career in the land.
Women Have Evolved
Tamara Scott Williams
Founder/President, The Second Wives' Club (Jamaica)
Doyle's tenets for finding intimacy, passion and peace with your man - relinquish inappropriate control of him, respect his thinking, receive his gifts graciously and express gratitude for him - rely on him to handle household finances; express what you want and focus on your own self-care and fulfilment.
"Surrendered" implies yielding to the possession of another, abandoning oneself entirely to a powerful influence. The fact of the matter is that women have evolved - from chattel to concubine, from wife to partner, from independent or corporate professional to country leader. We're powerful, too, but we just haven't figured out how to accommodate two bulls in a china shop.
Women can have it all: powerful jobs and perfect homes; toned bodies and killer wardrobes; well-adjusted children and time to serve our communities and amidst all of that is woven the relationship with our husbands which should sustain us emotionally, physically and spiritually.
A more appropriate term, then, would be the "empowered wife": a wife made stronger and more confident about claiming her rights as a woman because of the choices and opportunities given to her and created by her and by the women who came before her. And if she chooses to love her husband in a way that supports him and fulfils both their needs, then so be it. For that is her choice.
And if it ain't working then she can find a new husband, for that is her choice, too.
Unruffled By The Image The Title Portrays
By Nicola Melhado
Special Projects, American International School Of Kingston
I am in every sense of the author's definition, a Surrendered Wife; passed her quiz with 100 per cent! All the results of being a Surrendered Wife are ours as a couple, and particularly so after over 22 years of being together. However, the word surrendered in the context of a marriage conjures images of passivity and the persona of a 'submissive' (50 Shades of Grey), leaving no room for the wife's self-expression and independence. While I would have chosen a less dramatic turn of phrase to describe my happily married life, my ego nevertheless (and that's all it is, really) is unruffled by the image the title conveys.
The couple portrayed in the book has rather unique characteristics. The Surrendered Wife's profile requires an emotionally mature, confident woman who chooses her battles wisely, while keeping her ego in check, and her "A" chess game on at all times. Hubby, on the other hand, becomes the perfect male - once wifey plays the game. It leaves the success or failure of the marriage up to the wife, which, when examined, is passive- aggressive, controlling and manipulative; the very characteristics the author advises against! Oh well, all roads lead to Rome but my particular path was not achieved using the Surrendered Wife tactic.
An Instruction Manual For Relationship Salvation...
By Odette Dixon-Neath
The quiet power behind many a powerful Rock brand
Surrendered Wife? This is great, I say to myself. A filler to pass the time until the return of my TV crush Homeland. Well, not so fast. The Surrendered Wife turns out to be an instruction manual for relationship salvation, in which the woman does all the saving. At first blush the subtitle should perhaps be On Becoming a Milquetoast, but there is some common sense, though buried like truffles deep in the forest of dribble, first name-only anecdotes and gilded quotes (Churchill and Henry David Thoreau? Forsooth, methinks that is too much.)
Take what you want from the so-called principles, but does one really need to be told to "receive his gifts graciously..."? That's nursery school etiquette, for sure. Perhaps most women will bristle at the idea that surrendering brings the proven results of peace, joy and feeling good about you. There is some confusion on Laura Doyle's thesis that women take control out of fear and while not all of it makes sense, when it's right, it's really right. Take, for example, the idea that when you trust you are anticipating the best outcome. Makes sense, yes? Or even this gem, "Be the VIP instead of the chauffeur". Which right-thinking person doesn't want to be on the receiving end of indulgence?
The thing about The Surrendered Wife is that for every protestation that it is an insult to women, there are ways in which the movement (and movement it is -books, blogs, coaches and self-care circles) has offered a well-needed life buoy. I'll take it all as they say, "under advisement". For now, I'll stick to Homeland, which for me is a more informed study of the complexities of human relationships, in all their brilliant and messy incarnations.

B-HP racks up 711 yards in rout of Seneca
HONEA PATH — Belton-Honea Path's late season collapse of last season is now a little further in the rearview mirror.
After being throttled by Daniel for the second straight year, the Bears seemed doomed to repeat history. Instead seniors Matt Williams and Keinan Lewis both set school records and the Bears racked up 711 yards of total offense in a 64-28 homecoming rout of Seneca at Bear Stadium.
While the demons of losing three of its last four games, including a 55-51 loss to Seneca last season, loomed, B-HP (6-2, 4-1 in Region 1-AAA) took a big step in its push for a first-round home playoff game.
"We definitely finished," B-HP coach Russell Blackston said. "We were pretty frustrated after last week and really got on them this week in practice. I'm really proud of these kids."
Williams threw for 394 yards on 14-for-20 passing and set the tone early when he was backed up against his own end zone on the Bears' second possession. On first down, he found a streaking Lewis for a 99-yard touchdown pass to put B-HP up 14-0.
Lewis, a newly-minted Shrine Bowl selection, finished with 206 yards receiving and a touchdown in addition to a 24-yard rushing score in the first quarter.
Seneca (3-5, 2-3) showed few improvements on defense after surrendering 328 yards and seven touchdowns to Emerald running back Osharmar Abercrombie last week.
Former B-HP coach Wayne Green didn't go down too easy after trailing 21-0. Following three punts to start the game, Green reached into his bag of tricks to account for three straight trips to the end zone.
Trey Stephens (17-for-28, 255 yards) threw two touchdowns to Dorian Raines and the Bobcats ran a double-reverse flee-flicker where Stephens tossed a 39-yard pass to Marquis Arnold.
The Bears led just 28-21 before Williams hooked up with Lewis for a 48-yard gain. Chandler Boatwright booted a 28-yard field goal before halftime to put the Bears up 10.
That was as long as the Bobcats could hang around. B-HP capped drives of 7, 72, 78 and 37 yards for a 33-point third quarter.
Korey Thompson ran for 131 yards and three touchdowns while Arnold, Seneca's feature back, was held to 69 yards on 26 carries.

Watching the game last night, watching Blake Griffin get hammered by the opposition under the glass, and watching him throwing up brick after brick from the free throw line (he was 4-9), I got to wondering what effect Griffin's miserable performance at the charity stripe was actually having on the team. So, this morning, I did a little research.
First of all, I looked at the overall stats:
How often do the Clippers get to the line? So far, they've shot 1177 free throws, ranked 10th in the league. Not bad. But their free throw percentage is a dismal .688, which ranks 29th. Yuck.
Okay, who's responsible for this miserableness? Blake Griffin gets to the line more than any other Clipper, way more, 365 times (sixth in the NBA) so far. His success rate is a dreary 55 percent. The next closest Clipper is Chris Paul at 210 FTA's (and 86% success rate).
But there are other terrible free throw shooters on the Clips, right? DeAndre Jordan is at .500 (and, by my eyes, improving). But he's only been to the line 108 times. Kenyon Martin has had 95 attempts and is shooting only .385, which is horrible but relatively insignificant. Reggie Evans has been to the line 67 times and is also right at .500.
But Blake goes to the line far more than any of those other guys, 7.5 times a game (vs. 4.8 for Paul, the next nearest).
So, Blake gets fouled a lot and he's not good at the line. But how has it affected the Clippers won-loss record? I went through all the Clipper's 21 losses and I found that if Blake Griffin had been a mediocre foul shooter, improving to say, 70%, based on simple scoring differentials, the Clippers might have won four more games. The games Griffin's improved free throw shooting might have affected are these:
- 2/13 Mavericks 96, Clippers 92. Blake Griffin goes 2/9 at the stripe.
- 3/5 Timberwolves 95, Clippers 94. Blake goes 6/13
- 3/7 Nets 101, Clippers 100. 10/17
- 3/11 Warriors 97, Clippers 93. 7/15
The numbers aren't close. If Griffin makes a 70% of his fouls, the Clippers probably win those games. (There were a few other games that were too close to call but in no case was there another player who comes close to having Blake's influence on the output of the game. In no case did another players misses at the line, equal the difference in points per vs. points against.)
Now, in fairness, the point differential measure isn't entirely fair to either side. In close games either team might have played the final minutes differently and the result might have swung a point or two in either direction. You can't TOTALLY assume that if the Clippers score a few more points they would win a close game. But the situation cuts both ways. If Griffin is a consistent foul shooter, he gets fouled less, and gets to the line less, but he gets to the rim more, he gets double-teamed more, and his teammates get better looks. While his total free throw attempts goes down, the makes go up, as does his scoring average, almost certainly making up for the lost free throw attempts. The Clips total scoring certainly goes up as well, which probably makes up MORE than the four games (out of roughly 50) we're looking at.
Now here's the thing, Blake Griffin seems to have some flaws in his approach to shooting, we've seen games where he really seems to focus and nails his foul shots. His problems seem to be mental rather than physical. If he simply improves from bad (55%) to mediocre (70%), the Clippers might pick up as many as six to eight wins in a full eighty-two game season. That's a lot of wins.
This season, so far, turning four losses into wins would give the Clips a record of 32 and 16, good enough for a solid third place in the Western Conference, ahead of the Lakers and nipping at the heels of number two San Antonio. And all Blake Griffin has to do is become mediocre at the foul line.

West Virginia Board of Education Continues Dialogue with State Legislators
Posted: January 15, 2004
Charleston, W.Va. � The West Virginia Board of Education and the House Education Committee joined together today to continue talking about improving education in the state.
�We have been working together with our lawmakers for several years with the same goal in mind. We are all here for the children of West Virginia,� said Board of Education President Sandra Chapman. �This meeting has been very productive and I hope it is the first of many more opportunities to exchange ideas.�
Some of the key issues discussed during today�s session included new testing provisions for special education students under No Child Left Behind; the need for additional professional development for teachers; the recently released Quality Counts 2004 study which ranked West Virginia as the top performer in areas such as standards and accountability, school climate and student funding; and the creation of a sub-committee to investigate the flexibility of the school calendar.
�The Board supports expanding the school calendar and we are excited about serving on the newly formed sub-committee,� said Board of Education Vice President Barbara Fish. �We are all on the same page and I am confident that working together we can continue to serve the students.�
The Board of Education met with legislators as part of its monthly meeting. The Board will continue its meeting on Thursday in the Board Conference Room, Building 6, Rm. 353 at 8:30 a.m.
