Wallace's game is not all it could be right now, but some of the criticism on him feels small and petty. Fine he did not get into camp on time. Both sides used their leverage. It would have been nice if Wallace had been in camp the whole time. It would have been even nicer if twelve games into the season people had a better idea of Wallace's role in the offence. People may not be happy with Wallace's production this year, but they are kind of silent on the fact that production is down from WR's across the board on the team.
I hope Wallace is here for years to come. I do not see him as a limited bum. If he leaves next year I wish him God's speed and good tidings. To those that have issues with him please do not turn Wallace into Pootie Tang. It would demean you and the Steelers.
Some people may think Wallace is a Drama Queen, I just hope he uses me up.

To the editor:
Riverhead's town boards have been notorious for irresponsible giveaways of town assets at the taxpayers' expense, including the fire sale of the industrial core at EPCAL to a developer who flipped the property at substantial profit soon after he closed the deal with the town. Unfortunately, the proposed sale of the East Lawn building and the old firehouse seem to follow in the tradition of dumb decisions by the town. (more…)

We first came across Josh Begley's clever approach at comprehending vast but often inaccessible infrastructure in 2012, when as an NYU graduate student he built a breathtaking database of aerial images of every correctional facility in the United States. That web project was an attempt to quantify the impact of incarceration on the American landscape, and the resulting visual was in many ways more powerful than any set of statistics showing the rise of the U.S. prison population or the proliferation of cell blocks needed to house it.
More recently, Begley has now applied the same idea to another difficult-to-measure subject: the American military's footprint. This website – empire.is – draws on Bing and Google Maps satellite images of the military installations identified in media reports and the Department of Defense's property inventory. Unlike the previous project, this geography extends well beyond the U.S. And it reveals more varied aerial patterns, from crisscrossing runways:
...to planned base housing communities:
... to, well, this, at Naval Communication Station Holt in Australia:
In one other way, the task of visualizing any military presence is harder than doing the same with our prisons. Some of these images are obscured or redacted, in curious ways:
Those tiles interspersed throughout the project raise questions as much about what we can't see as what we can. As Begley writes:
Beyond just adjudicating the differences between publicly-available satellite images, I wanted to start this project to think more broadly about mappable space. In the age of APIs, how might we see secrecy in aggregate? What would an aerial display of NSA data centers look like?
We've thought before about what the spread of data centers might look like from the sidewalk. But this is an entirely different way of trying to grasp the impact of institutional infrastructure (with varying implications), from 30,000 feet.

Theaster Gates, Artist and Urban Planner, On His Style Inspirations
GOLDEN GATES: The rising star, whose work has been shown at the Whitney and LA's MOCA, talks about the West Side church that gave him his fashion, and picks 10 of his favorite things
(page 1 of 2)
Gates in his studio with pottery from Feast, an exhibition at the Smart Museum of Art
An urban planner and arts administrator at the University of Chicago, Theaster Gates, 38, is better known as a rising star in the art world. Museums worldwide—including the Whitney in New York and MOCA in Los Angeles—have shown his work, which is a combination of sculpture, installation, and performance with racial and political themes. (You can see some of it at the Smart Museum of Art from February 16 to June 10; the exhibition, Feast, focuses on the aesthetics and culture of the shared meal.)
When asked about the biggest influence on his style, Gates names the New Cedar Grove Missionary Baptist Church on the West Side, which he attended as a child. "I got a better sense of fashion there," he says, "than I ever could have had from reading a magazine." See ten things he loves below.
10 Things He Loves
"I like the efficiency of these old tools; there's a right and a wrong way to use them."
"They came from Wrigley's chewing gum factories. I used them to build one of my first large-scale installations in Pilsen."
"This was a really important book for me in my youth. It was the first time I read about a black man struggling in the world, knowing that it was not fair."
PATEK PHILIPPE CALATRAVA WATCH ($23,000, Tourneau, 835 N. Michigan Ave.)
"I want a slim watch that has an intimate relationship with my wrist, like this one."
BAMBOO BICYCLE ($1,350, bamboobikestudio.com)
"This is a totally different way to think about building a bike, with materials that are equally strong and super water-resistant."

But for a Falcons aggregation that has continued asked Turner to backpack the load, transitioning to a casual breach won't be seamless. This will be Atlanta's greatest claiming as it closes in on a Anniversary 1 antagonism with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Shelter From the Storm
By JOHNNY DWYER
Published: October 1, 2006
SHORTLY after 1 a.m. on a drizzly July night, Hadrick and Abraham Julu, two trim brothers from Liberia, stared at the door of Room 214 of the Westway Motel in East Elmhurst, Queens, and then at each other. Hadrick, who held the room's key card in one hand and the skinny forearm of their ailing father in the other, jiggled the door's handle, but it would not budge. The brothers had never seen a door that worked this way. But they kept trying, mindful that eight of their siblings, the youngest of them 12, were waiting slumped and exhausted on benches in the lobby.
Eventually, the Julus managed to enter their rooms, and they did so with great relief. Twenty-five hours had elapsed between their departure from a refugee camp in Ghana and their arrival at the Westway Motel, a pair of low-rise, khaki-colored buildings just west of La Guardia Airport.
The Julus' journey had been full of dazzling, sometimes disturbing firsts: the family's first airplane flight, their first moments in America, the first time they ate three meals in a single day. Most important, the trip was the first time that the family, which had fled war-torn Liberia in 1989, had moved from one country to the next without being in danger.
But for the Westway, the Julus' arrival represented business as usual. For 21 years, the 122-room motel has been the initial stop in a new life for that most desperate category of immigrant: the refugee fleeing war or persecution. The Westway, where refugees stay overnight before beginning the next leg of their journey to safety, is one of only eight motels nationwide that serve this role, and the only one in New York. For these motels, the most important day of the year comes in early autumn, when the president sets the exact number of refugees that will be admitted to the United States in the following 12 months.
This year, the day is imminent. On Wednesday, a State Department official testified before a Senate subcommittee that President Bush had proposed a 2007 ceiling of 70,000 refugees, the same number authorized for the 2006 fiscal year. On Friday, a spokesman for the State Department, Peter Eisenhauer, said that the final proposal had just been forwarded to the White House for the president's signature.
For the countless refugees worldwide clamoring for entry to America, this number is critical. But it does not even hint at the deep joy felt by the individual refugee who, after long trial and tribulation, has finally found a haven in America.
''When the flight landed,'' said Hadrick, 20, weary but smiling broadly on that night in Room 214, ''I was like, 'Wow!' ''
Later, he added, ''Every breath is a beginning.''
Ellis Island on the Grand Central
A modest red sign along the Grand Central Parkway reads ''Westway Motel,'' and it may be the only beacon to this singular institution. The motel, which abuts the parkway and sits opposite St. Michael's Cemetery, is easy to miss. Its small buildings are only three stories high, barely registering among the private homes and apartment complexes in a working-class, ethnically mixed neighborhood.
Guests trickle into the Westway throughout the day. Not all are refugees. Among them are delayed travelers, weary truckers, and couples whose baggage consists of little more than a six-pack and a shared look of expectation. A room rents for $111 for the night, though what the motel tactfully describes as ''short stays'' are available for less.
The Westway, which was built to serve airport business, opened in the early 1960's, but only in 1985, at the request of the International Organization for Migration, did it begin to house refugees. That agency, created in 1951 by the United States and some allies to cope with refugees from World War II, arranged for the motel to furnish rooms for people needing a way station en route to more permanent settlement.
''The Westway is like the Ellis Island of years ago,'' said Barbara Letizia, a desk clerk who began working at the motel a few years before the first refugees checked in. But unlike arrivals at Ellis Island, the immigrants entering the Westway are exclusively refugees -- although Westway staff members refer to them as ''I.O.M.'s,'' after the agency that handles their travel arrangements. Between 1990 and this past July, an estimated 170,000 refugees, nearly one-quarter of the 700,000 refugees who passed through Kennedy Airport during that time, have spent a night at the Westway.
At first glance, the lobby looks like that of any motel slightly past its prime. Two pay phones and four vending machines line the walls. On the window of the desk clerk's office is a gold-lettered placard that reads, ''Cigarettes for Sale.'' But below that notice is a less familiar sign: it tells guests where they should leave their bags -- in Cyrillic letters. That is not surprising; most of the refugees at the Westway do not speak English.
In many respects, the Westway lobby is a time machine, where political cataclysms from decades long past still reverberate. The Julus' journey, for example, began with the brutal civil and tribal wars that raged in West Africa during the late 1980's and the early 90's; other recent arrivals were uprooted by the disintegration of the Soviet Union around the same time.

Alfred Brendel (born January 5, 1931) is an Austrian pianist, born in Czechoslovakia. He is widely regarded as one of the great classical pianists of the second half of the 20th century. Brendel was born in Vízmberk, Czechoslovakia, now Loučná nad Desnou Czech Republic, to a non-musical family. They moved to Zagreb when Brendel was six, and later to Graz, where they lived during World War II, towards the end of which the 14 year old Brendel was sent to Yugoslavia to dig trenches. However, he caught frostbite and was taken to hospital.

Speed humps may pop up on another street
Speed humps on South 11th Street are complete and now city officials are taking a closer look at placing them on Buchanan Avenue. Other traffic calming measures are being taken on other Oxford streets, like South 13th Street where concrete for curb extensions was poured Thursday. (November 9, 2012, Page 1A, 9A)
11th Street to get speed humps
Residents on South 11th Street may soon have a bumpier drive on their way to their home. Mayor Pat Patterson announced Monday night that South 11th Street will be getting three speed humps to help slow down traffic on the neighborhood road. Residents signed a petition in March requesting the humps that will be 12-feet wide and 3 to 3.5 inches high. (October 16, 2012, Page 1, 12)
City looks to give parking violators the boot
As the Oxford Board of Aldermen consider implementing a tougher parking enforcement program and hiring a parking management company, habitual overtime parking offenders could notice something is missing during their next trip to the Square — their car. Mayor Pat Patterson announced Thursday he has given authority to the Oxford Police Department to begin towing cars which have the highest amount of unpaid parking tickets from the Square. (July 27, 2012, Page 1A)
Van Buren work begins Wednesday
Van Buren and South 11th Street will be closed to traffic for most of the summer as the city updates the sewer, water and electrical systems on that side of the Square. Updates will be available at the city's web site, www.oxfordms.net or on the city of Oxford's Facebook page. The EAGLE will also run updates periodically. A meeting was held Thursday with several business owners on Van Buren to update them on the construction project that will begin Wednesday and be completed in August. (May 11, 2012, Page 1A, 14A)
Square moves closer to paid parking
The Downtown Parking Commission is moving forward with implementing paid parking around the Square that's proposed to cost $1 each hour. (April 25, 2012, Page 1)
Speed humps still on the table
The Oxford Board of Aldermen advised the city engineer Tuesday to tweak a 2007 policy on allowing neighborhoods to request speed humps and include adding suggestions from board members and other city officials, including adding the Oxford Pathways Commission as the lead agency to determine priority. Read about speed humps and other city business from Tuesday's regular meeting in today's Oxford EAGLE. (March 7, 2012, Page 2)
Slow down, you drive too fast
City officials are looking into creating a policy to allow neighborhoods to request speed humps on their streets. (March 2, 2012, Page 1A)
City has bright idea for Square
The Courthouse Historic Preservation Commission approved plans for Oxford Electric Department to put new street lights, and beef up existing lights, in four satellite parking areas around the Square to make the areas safer. (January 9, 2012, Page 1)
The Big Place — J.W.T. Falkner's home
Columnist and historian Jack Lamar Mayfield writes about the two-story home J.W.T. Falkner built in Oxford for his family in 1899. (June 3, 2011, Page 3B)
Dumpsters to be removed from Square
Square businesses were notified this week that all garbage Dumpsters will be removed from South 10th and 11th Streets in an effort to make the Square more attractive, while freeing up parking spaces often occupied by delivery trucks.
All businesses, using city Dumpsters, will be required to haul off their garbage to the city's one compactor site in the parking lot at the corner of South 11th Street and Harrison Avenue, which is behind City Grocery and Old Venice Pizza restaurants on the south side of the Square.

(11/21/12) - The Flint School Board officially approved an audit Wednesday night that says their budget is millions of dollars in the red.
Last week, the school board looked at the results of a recent audit.
It says the district is facing a $4 million budget shortfall.
Wednesday evening, the board accepted the outcome of the audit. Their next step is to use that information to move forward.
This year's deficit was more than projected, so the board members will have to amend the financial plan to make the up the money.
"It's a tool that we will use to further promote programs, make decisions on how we structure our district and how we go about educating children," said Antoinette Lockett, the school board president.
It was also the first school board meeting since superintendent Linda Thompson announced she's retiring.
The board officially accepted her resignation.

Hey Everyone, due to massive googling as of late, I came across this blog and felt that it was necessary for me to join and be a part of this community. Now while I have been reading the recent posts (My membership became active a couple of hours ago) it got me really thinking, hence the following little "tirade" if you will. I do not mean any anger or hate towards the Lions, I love them, always have and always will. I just wanted to give my 2 copper about what being a Lions fan is to me.
I have been a lions fan since Barry Sanders started playing in the early 90's. I loved the way he moved, the way he juked, his demeanor on and off the field and his ability to find the gaps and run like a monster. When he left, I was sad, beyond sad, I was disheartened. Still, I stood strong with my lions, I kept with them and kept my support vocal to my friends and family who supported other teams. Through thick and thin I have supported the lions, facepalming myself every year, seeing moments like the huge runs we let through, large passes and even the dreadful 0-16 season. It is hard to be a lions fan these days, but I am. I will be, as sad and delirious as it may be. I have faith in my team. I do love them, it has been over 15 years (I am 23 now) and my support has not waned.
I come to you dear forum, I come to you to ask the question. Why? Why do I care so much? Why do I stick with them through everything despite their clear failures and shortcomings, mistakes and issues. I will always have faith in them, I know we have the talent and I know we have the ability to close, we just are not doing it. Seeing plays this year already such as the Calvin Johnson call (regardless if the refs called it right or not, it was bull), all the penalties and miscues, it just makes me scratch my head. In a way, I feel is the NFL's fault, maybe they have it in for the one team I truly love and follow? Maybe the NFL doesn't want the Lions to succeed, managing to find ways to instill roadblocks, hindrances and despair to these men. I will stick through this season, and maybe another, I don't even know anymore. Football is the one sport I love, truly love. The only sport I follow, nay the one true sport I can sit down and watch a full game. The one team I choose to call mine just happens to be the worst team in history. So I ask you, please, give me a reason. Give me the hope I need, I don't want to lose faith, but is starting to happen. I know I am die hard as you can get, but I am just sick of the NFL and their policies, rules and regulations. It just seems they don't want what they feel is a low-caliber team winning games.
Sad, Down and Hopeful Fan,
Usman Altafullah

Parenthood (9 p.m., NBC/Ch. 5) is not getting the credit it deserves.
That's due, in no small part, to the fact that it wasn't that great a show when it premiered in March 2010. It wasn't a bad show, but it wasn't a real good show - and first impressions are hard to overcome.

Reasons for Pride in 2012, Part 2
BY Advocate Contributors
May 16 2012 4:00 AM ET
Because hunky het guys are no longer afraid to champion our causes
Model Daniel Garofali, musician Jason Mraz, and actors Max Adler and Josh Hutcherson all came out in support of LGBT rights this year. Garafoli (pictured, below) started We're Human Too, a collective focusing on "the right thing to do as a human being," he says. "It stands for humanity in all forms; your religion, race, socio-economic status, gender, sexual orientation, etc., and focuses on the foundations of the human condition; we are all human, we all want to love and be loved, we all want to be happy."
Mraz spoke out against bullying, pledged that he wouldn't marry until there was full marriage equality, and then performed for fund-raisers for both the True Colors Fund and the Trevor Project. He appeared in the Give a Damn marriage equality information campaign alongside Elton John and others. His newly formed Jason Mraz Foundation will also support the True Colors Fund, along with other organizations aligned with Jason's four pillars of service: human equality, environmental preservation, arts and education, and recovery and assistance.
Hutcherson, the star of The Hunger Games, has filmed public service announcements for the antibullying organization Straight But Not Narrow, spoke with the Gay-Straight Alliance Network about the importance of straight allies for LGBT youth, and this spring filmed a video along with Straight But Not Narrow leader Avan Jogia. Meanwhile, Adler, best known as Glee's closeted gay former bully Dave Karofsky, inspired his global Twitter and Glee-blog followers to donate tens of thousands to Max's ABC: Anti-Bullying Through City Hearts program (he was the spokesman for City Hearts, an arts group). To help pull it off, he gave away tees that read "Be Brave Enough to Be Kind" on the back and auctioned off a lunch with him, while fans from as far away as Norway gave repeat donations or made "matching" contributions as Valentine's Day gifts.

Israel Likely to Set New Election For February or March of 2006
By GREG MYRE
Published: November 18, 2005
Israel appeared headed for early parliamentary elections, in late February or in March, after two leading politicians discussed the issue with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on Thursday.
With Palestinians planning their own parliamentary votes on Jan. 25, both sides will be consumed with internal political issues in the coming months, and peacemaking initiatives are likely to stall.
Mr. Sharon, who has won two elections and has been prime minister for nearly five years, remains broadly popular among Israelis. He wanted his coalition government to serve its full term, to November 2006.
But with his coalition crumbling, he now favors elections relatively soon, saying a long campaign that could result in a political stalemate is unnecessary.
''We must ensure that 2006 will not turn into a lost year with regard to the political process and the effort to reach an agreement with the Palestinians,'' Mr. Sharon was quoted as saying in the daily newspaper Yediot Aharonot.
Amir Peretz, the new leader of the center-left Labor Party, plans to pull his party out of the coalition, depriving Mr. Sharon of a majority in Parliament. They met Thursday morning in Tel Aviv, and Mr. Peretz said afterward that they had agreed that the election could be at the end of February or in March.
Yosef Lapid, leader of the centrist Shinui Party, met separately with Mr. Sharon and said their talks focused on a March election.
Lawmakers plan a preliminary vote on Monday on dissolving Parliament. If the measure wins final approval, it would clear the way for new elections.
Mr. Sharon's right-wing Likud Party holds 40 of the 120 seats in Parliament, while Labor, the second-largest faction, controls 21 seats.
However, Likud has been in turmoil, with its most conservative members still angry at Mr. Sharon for his withdrawal of Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip in the summer.
Mr. Sharon could face a tough battle with Benjamin Netanyahu, a former prime minister, in April in the Likud primary to select a party leader. A bruising primary and continued infighting could hurt the party in the polls.
The Israeli news media have been filled with speculation that Mr. Sharon, 77, may decide to leave Likud and form a more centrist party. However, he has said he intends to remain in Likud, which he helped establish three decades ago.
In other developments Thursday, Israeli forces shot dead two men wanted on suspicion of being Palestinian militants when they drove their car through a military checkpoint outside Jenin on the West Bank, the army said. The car, carrying two members of Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades, veered off the road and crashed during the shooting, Palestinian security officials said.
In Gaza City, hundreds of Palestinian gunmen from the same group marched, firing their rifles into the air, flouting a ban on the public display of weapons that the Palestinian leadership announced nearly two months ago.
Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades is part of the Fatah movement of Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian leader.
The gunmen demanded jobs and an international investigation into what caused the death of Yasir Arafat, the Palestinian leader who died a year ago, at 75. Many Palestinians suspect that Israel poisoned Mr. Arafat.
The report by the French military hospital that treated Mr. Arafat did not cite evidence of poisoning.

One of the best bands to come out of the American indie underground of the 1980s.
Meat PuppetsBrooklyn Bowl (61 Wythe Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11249) Map it $12
Curt Kirkwood - Vocals/Guitars
Cris Kirkwood - Bass/Vocals
Shandon Sahm - Drums
Elmo Kirkwood - Guitars
Original. Influential. Uncompromising. Unpredictable. Not very many rock bands warrant being linked to such descriptions, but the Meat Puppet certainly do. With a career that has spanned four decades, the Meat Puppets have witnessed countless musical movements and fads come and go, but despite it all, have stuck to their guns and retained a dedicated fan base. Along the way, the Puppets have made admirers out of some of rock's most renowned names - most obviously Kurt Cobain, who personally invited the Puppets to appear on Nirvana's classic performance, MTV Unplugged in New York - and have amassed a canon of timeless songs ("Plateau," "Lake of Fire," "Up on the Sun," "Backwater," etc.).
Formed in 1980 in Phoenix, Arizona, the original Puppets line-up consisted of singer/guitarist Curt Kirkwood, bassist Cris Kirkwood, and drummer Derrick Bostrom. Throughout the decade, the group steadily issued classic indie recordings, including 1984's Meat Puppets II, 1985's Up on the Sun, and 1987's Huevos, and were constantly criss-crossing the States, becoming a must-see live act in the process.
Jumping to a major label in the early '90s, the band saw their greatest commercial success in 1994, thanks to the aforementioned Nirvana Unplugged broadcast/album release (in which three Puppets classic were performed - "Plateau," "Oh, Me," and "Lake of Fire"), and a gold-certified album, Too High to Die, which spawned the MTV/radio hit, "Backwater."
Although the original Puppets line-up would splinter in 1996, Curt kept the band afloat with a new line-up for a spell, during which time he enlisted the aid of drummer Shandon Sahm. The Kirkwood brothers eventually reconciled in 2006, resulting in two more critically acclaimed albums - 2007's Rise to Your Knees and 2009's Sewn Together - before Sahm signed on once more, resulting in such modern day Puppets classics as 2011's Lollipop and 2013's Rat Farm. And recently, Curt's son, Elmo, joined the band as second guitarist.
"It's going to be real blown up folk music," explains Curt about Rat Farm. "I tried to write stuff that would be kind of easy to learn and easy to play, try and get it to stand on its own that way - just the chords and the melodies, and play it kind of straight. I think that was the guiding boundaries that I gave myself."
"I didn't want to get too complicated. It was one of those things where a lot of times, in the past especially, Cris would go, 'Well, that's all there is? Let's put a prog rock part in the middle.' But I tried to hold it off as much as I could. I'm a lot of times trying to do that - be as simple as possible - because it tends to make something stick for me a little better, because I don't have to think about it that much when I'm playing it. And that I might actually wind up playing it live at some point, which is what I'm trying to do. I made it a point to do that."
Additionally, the band's entire career was recounted in book form around this time, with the release of the must-read Too High to Die: Meet the Meat Puppets, which retells the band's entire history. Assembled by journalist/Puppets fan Greg Prato, the book features recollections from band members past and present, as well as such admirers as Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Peter Buck (REM), Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), and Henry Rollins (Black Flag/Rollins Band), among countless others, and pulls no punches in telling the band's wild and wooly tale.
This far into their career, the Meat Puppets continue to offer inspired live performances and strong recordings, which match up extremely well to their earlier classics. And as evidenced by Rat Farm and their upcoming live dates, you'll soon have the opportunity to experience the power of the mighty Meats yourself.

Old Dominion University's College of Business and Public Administration has relaunched the doctoral program in business administration with a concentration in strategic management.
The degree, which was first offered at Old Dominion in 1989, currently has 40 students enrolled in the finance and marketing concentrations.
While strategic management also was offered when the program began, as interest and resources later waned, the university stopped offering that concentration. "Today we truly have the resources in management to fully equip this program," said William Judge, who will oversee the program.
Judge, who was appointed to the position of E.V. Williams Endowed Chair of Strategic Leadership this summer, has 20 years' experience in researching and designing curricula in business management, strategic management, environmental management, business ethics and strategic leadership.
Two students are currently enrolled in the strategic management concentration, and Judge expects many more as word about the program spreads. "We could not be more delighted to offer such a dynamic program to students," he said.
For more information call 757-683-6730.

text: What has happened to Gordon this year? He's still the same guy in the field, he still has a respectable OBP at .365. His slugging and OPS are way down from last year, he only has 5 home runs and 27 RBI. While he's still hitting doubles like a maniac, where did his HR stoke go? Is Alex regressing or is he becoming a gap to gap hitter? It's just so odd because he hit 23 HR in 611AB last year and this year he's only hit 5 HR's in 332 AB. Last year Gordon went yard 3.7% of his at bats, this year his clip is at 1.5%. That is a HUGE decline. Royals fans can accept that because he hits doubles, well he did last year too.........So I ask you, what has happened to Gordon's power? Is it an adjustment from pitchers because he did so well last year? Or is it a regression and a lack of adjustment from Alex this year?

I thought this series of comments quite powerful when taken together, and potentially useful
David Frum:
I have been disturbed about the choice from the start, as you know. And I have not seen any reason to feel less disturbed ... She really could be president! And here's where my fellow conservatives really worry me. They are so attracted by the symbolism of the selection that they show no concern -- never mind for her executive competence -- even for her views.

A blogger from Alaska shares some important, and amazing personal knowledge of the woman McCain judges most fit to be in charge of the most destructive arsenal in history.
I first met Alaska Governor and GOP Vice Presidential aspirant Sarah Palin when she was on the City of Wasilla Planning Commission. I appeared at one of their meetings, along with my boss at that time, now-convicted ex-Allvest CEO, Bill Weimer. We were presenting a proposal Allvest was working on, in conjunction with a Wasilla-based mental health clinic, to open a community corrections project there, and needed a facility permit.
At that time, I remembered her, because she seemed to be the only person on the commission who had actually read our proposal. It was obvious from her questions.
Of the encounters I've since had with Sarah Palin, two that brought up her faith, have become important, in light of the possibility that she might someday soon be in charge of thousands of thermonuclear weapons.
In June 1997, both Palin and I had responsibilities at the graduation ceremony of a small group of Wasilla area home schoolers. I directed the Mat-Su College Community Band, which played music, and she gave the commencement address. It was held at her church, the Wasilla Assembly of God.
Palin had recently become Wasilla mayor, beating her earliest mentor, John Stein, the then-incumbent mayor. A large part of her campaign had been to enlist fundamentalist Christian groups, and invoke evangelical buzzwords into her talks and literature.
As the ceremony concluded, I bumped into her in a hall away from other people. I congratulated her on her victory, and took her aside to ask about her faith. Among other things, she declared that she was a young earth creationist, accepting both that the world was about 6,000-plus years old, and that humans and dinosaurs walked the earth at the same time.
I asked how she felt about the second coming and the end times. She responded that she fully believed that the signs of Jesus returning soon "during MY lifetime," were obvious. "I can see that, maybe you can't - but it guides me every day."
Our next discussion about religion was after she had switched to the less strict Wasilla Bible Church. She was speaking at, I was performing bugle, at a Veterans ceremony between Wasilla and Palmer. At this time, people were beginning to encourage her to run for Governor.
Once again, we found ourselves being able to talk privately. I reminded her of the earlier conversation, asking her if her views had changed. She was no longer "necessarily" a young earth creationist, she told me. But she strongly reiterated her belief that "The Lord is coming soon." I was trying to get her to tell me what she felt the signs were, when she had to move on.

I think I'll refrain from commenting on this. I've generally come to believe that PUMAs should be ignored but this shouldn't be.
Yesterday's PUMA prowl was sending letters to the editor praising swiftboater Corsi's "exposure " of Obama. And these are Democrats?
Today PUMApac blog features this announcement of "exterminate jew power" Andy Martin's new organization.
When Andy was photographed at the secret PUMA convention, some PUMAs claimed he infiltrated it. Guess not

This diary is just to flag an exceptionally interesting article about Obama's teaching career. Sorry for the lack of analysis- I'm due at a meeting.
It directly addresses some of the more common libels.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/30/us/pol itics/30law.html?em
I suggest you read the whole thing
At the school, Mr. Obama taught three courses, ascending to senior lecturer, a title otherwise carried only by a few federal judges. His most traditional course was in the due process and equal protection areas of constitutional law. His voting rights class traced the evolution of election law, from the disenfranchisement of blacks to contemporary debates over districting and campaign finance. Mr. Obama was so interested in the subject that he helped Richard Pildes, a professor at New York University, develop a leading casebook in the field.
His most original course, a historical and political seminar as much as a legal one, was on racism and law. Mr. Obama improvised his own textbook, including classic cases like Brown v. Board of Education, and essays by Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Dubois, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, as well as conservative thinkers like Robert H. Bork.
Mr. Obama was especially eager for his charges to understand the horrors of the past, students say. He assigned a 1919 catalog of lynching victims, including some who were first raped or stripped of their ears and fingers, others who were pregnant or lynched with their children, and some whose charred bodies were sold off, bone fragment by bone fragment, to gawkers.

They are somewhat of a dying breed, an extinct species that are often overlooked when it comes to occupying the position of wide receiver in today's NFL. There was a comment made in one of the front page posts that got me thinking. So I decided to take a look at what has been and what is currently the situation in the NFL when it comes to "other" than black receivers.
Now before anyone gets their nose bent outta shape, I want to make it perfectly clear that this IS NOT about racism. I have had a belly full of experience in that department. Nor am I trying to stir controversy, hate or discontent. Please… if that's gonna be your take in the comments, I ask with all the respect I can give, refrain from doing so.
Please look at it from a study point of view and you may find it interesting.
The white wide receiver seems to be as difficult to find as Sasquatch. And just like a sighting of one, the white receiver gets peaked attention. There are even some Hall of Famers, like Steve Largent, Raymond Berry, and Fred Biletnikoff, but strange how few there really is.
So who was the last high impact white wide receiver in the NFL? Wes Welker is certainly well known, but his career is leveling off, IMO. How about Ed McCaffrey? Wonder of wonders, Ricky Proehl, who played a combined 17 seasons in the NFL? Or Wayne Chrebet who enjoyed several years with the (cough) Jets?
Fewer and fewer white players are given a chance to become wide receivers in the NFL today. This is in stark contrast to the NFL of the '70's and '80's where a number of receivers where not only white, but perennial pro-bowl players. Let's take a look at the top 10 white wide receivers from 1980 to 2010.
#10) Joe Jurevicius: Giants, Buccaneers, Seahawks, Browns
· Played from 1998 to 2007
· Drafted in the 2nd round of the '98 draft by the New York Giants
· Career: 133 games, 323 receptions, 4,119 yards, 12.8 yards/catch, in the end zone 29 times.
Jurevicius is a tall receiver (6' 5") with good hands, not especially fast, but has found ways to get open. His best season was in '05 with Seattle when he caught 55 for 694 yards and 10 touchdowns.
#9) Bill Schroeder: Packers, Lions, Buccaneers
· Played from 1997 to 2004
· Drafted in the 6th round of the '94 draft by the Packers
· Career: 111 games, 304 receptions, 4,583 yards, 15.1 yards/catch, in the end zone 28 times.
Again, Schroeder was not especially fast but had good size (6' 3") and good hands. Schroeder had 3 consecutive seasons with over 900 yards receiving with a personal best of 74 receptions, 1,051 yards and 5 touchdowns coming in '99. He retired a Packer in '08 after signing a one-day contract. He had a solid 15.1 yards per catch average and was a solid option for (wrangler jeans boy) Favre in Green Bay.
#8) Pat Tilley with the Cardinals AND Steve Watson of the Broncos
Pat Tilley: St. Louis Cardinals
· 1 Time Pro-Bowler
· Played from 1976 to 1986
· Drafted in the 4th round of the '76 draft by the St. Louis Cardinals
· Career: 147 games, 468 receptions, 7,005 yards, 15 yards/catch, 37 touchdowns.
First of the Pro-Bowlers, Pat Tilley played on a number of middling teams the Cardinals put together in his career. Considering that the NFL played 14 games for a number of years, his 4 straight seasons of 900 + yards receiving is quite an accomplishment. He makes this list for this and pro-bowl season in '80 when he caught 68 balls for 966 yards, and 6 touchdowns. He followed that up with an equally good '81 season when he had 1,040 yards receiving - a career best.
Steve Watson: Broncos
· 1 Time Pro-Bowler
· Un-drafted free agent from Temple University
· Played from 1979 to 1987
· Career: 125 games, 353 receptions, 6,112 yards, 17.3 yards/catch, 36 touchdowns.
An undrafted free agent, Steve rejoined the Broncos as a defensive assistant in 2000. Since 2003 he has been a wide receivers coach. Watson had 3 seasons of over 1000 yards. His pro-bowl year was 1981 when he caught 60 balls for 1,244 yards, 13 touchdowns and an incredible 20.7 yard per catch average. Unbelievably, he only made the pro-bowl once despite having two fantastic seasons in '83 with 59 catches for 1,133 yards, and '84 with 69 catches for 1,170 yards. In both seasons, Watson averaged more than 17 yards per catch. Watson is clearly one of the most underrated wide receivers in the 80's.
#7) Wes Welker: Chargers, Miami Dolphins, Patriots
· 2 Time Pro-Bowl Selection
· 2 Time All-Pro
· 2 Time NFL Reception Leader
· Played from 2004 - 2009
· Un-drafted free agent from Texas Tech
· Career: 30 games, 442 receptions, 4,809 yards, 10.9 yards/catch, 16 touchdowns.
A small football player, standing only 5' 9" and 185 lbs, Welker is more of a slot receiver. Only one player in NFL history, Gale Sayers, had more all-purpose yards in his first three NFL seasons than Welker did with the (wait for it) Miami Dolphins; Welker holds the Dolphins' all-time records for total kickoff returns, kickoff return yardage, and total punt returns. He is fast becoming one of the greatest slot receivers in the history of the NFL and has averaged an unbelievable 115 receptions, 1229 yards and 5 touchdowns in 3 years since joining the Patriots in 2007. A shifty, fast, and sure handed receiver, nobody works the middle of the field better than Wes Welker who has quickly become a favorite outlet receiver of quarterback Tom (give me the flag) Brady. Welker, IMO, has somewhat leveled in his career. Some say he has a chance to be like Steve Largent. I am not one of them.
#6) Wayne Chrebet: (cough) Jets
· Played from 1995 to 2005
· Un-drafted free agent from Hofstra
· Career: 152 games, 580 receptions, 7,365 yards, 12.7 yards/catch, 41 touchdowns.
Another undrafted free agent, Chrebet was originally cut by the CFL's Baltimore Stallions; he played 11 seasons as a wide receiver for the Jets from '95 to 2005. A diminutive receiver standing 5' 10", with fabulous hands and solid route running, his best season came in '98 when he caught 75 balls for 1,083 yards and 8 touchdowns. Chrebet never made a pro-bowl.
#5) Ricky Proehl: Cardinals, Seahawks, Bears, Rams, Panthers, Colts
· 2 Time Super Bowl Champion
· Played from 1990 to 2006
· Drafted in the 3rd round of the '90 draft by the Cardinals
· Career: 244 games, 669 receptions, 8,878 yards, 13.3 yards/catch, 54 touchdowns.
"The Ironman" played 17 seasons in the NFL and was one of the most consistent wide receivers throughout the '90's and 2000's. Ricky averaged more than more than 50 receptions in 7 seasons, and had a personal best season in 1993 with 65 catches for 877 yards and 7 touchdowns. He played prominent roles in helping the Rams reach the '99 Super Bowl, catching 6 balls for 100 yards against the Bucs in the NFC Championship game. Twice, Proehl caught passes in Super Bowls to tie games within the last two minutes of regulation. His career receptions in 3 Super Bowls are 8 catches for 153 yards and 2 touchdowns. He was the "go to" receiver when teams needed him most, and everyone on the defense knew it. Proehl never made a pro-bowl and never attained a 1,000 yard season.
#4) Ed McCaffrey: Giants, 49ers, Broncos
· 3 Time Super Bowl Champion
· 1 Time Pro-Bowler
· Played from 1990 to 2006
· Drafted in the 3rd round of the '91 draft by the New York Giants
· Career: 185 games, 565 receptions, 7,422 yards, 13.1 yards/catch, 55 touchdowns.
I believe Ed McCaffrey was best known as the Broncos' receiver. He was a tall and lanky wide receiver standing 6' 5" and 215 lbs. McCaffrey combined with Rod Smith to form one of the more dynamic wide receiver combos in the NFL during the late 90's. With Denver he achieved three consecutive seasons of 1000 yards or more receiving. His best season, and one where he surprisingly did not make the Pro-Bowl, was in 2000 when he caught 101 balls for 1,317 yards and 9 touchdowns. That season, he and Rod Smith combined for over 100 receptions each.
#3) Dwight Clark: 49ers
· 2 Time Super Bowl Champion
· 2 Time Pro-Bowler
· 1 Time All-Pro
· Played from 1979 to 1987
· Drafted in the 10th round of the 1979 draft by the San Francisco 49ers
· Career: 134 games, 506 receptions, 6,750 yards, 13.3 yards/catch, 48 touchdowns.
Responsible for "The Catch". Dwight Clark caught that infamous pass from Joe Montana in the '82 NFC Championship game against the Dallas Cowboys which sent the 49ers to their first Super Bowl Championship. That play is perhaps one of the greatest plays in NFL history and is a constant highlight reel play.
#2) Cris Collinsworth: Bengals
· 3 Time Pro-Bowler
· Played from 1981 to 1988
· Drafted in the 2nd round of the 1981 draft by the Cincinnati Bengals
· Career: 90 games, 417 receptions, 6,698 yards, 16.1 yards/catch, 36 touchdowns.
Cris was the 80's version of Ed McCaffrey. An incredibly tall receiver at 6' 5", lanky, fast, ran good routes, a solid deep threat, and a favorite target of Ken Anderson. Collinsworth had 4 seasons with over 1000 yards and a phenomenal year in '86 with 62 catches for 1,024 yards and career best 10 touchdowns. His days were cut short because of knee problems, but a great wide receiver of the 80's and often took advantage of smaller corners because of his size and speed. He's now an idiot sports pundit.
#1) Steve Largent: Seahawks
· 7 Time Pro-Bowler
· 1 Time All-Pro
· Member of Hall of Fame
· Played from 1976 to 1989
· Drafted in the 4th round of the 1976 draft by the Houston Oilers
· Career: 197 games, 819 receptions, 13,089 yards, 16 yards/catch, 100 touchdowns.
Largent spent thirteen years with the Seahawks, and, while not particularly fast, was extremely sure-handed. The Oilers traded Largent to the then expansion Seattle Seahawks in '76. Largent was THE primary receiver in Seattle. His illustrious career started by catching balls from quarterback Jim Zorn, and eventually ended with Dave Krieg. Largent also provided one of the most jaw-shattering hits in NFL history. In a game during the '88 season, Denver Broncos Safety Mike Harden intercepted a ball thrown by Seahawks Quarterback Dave Krieg. While returning the interception, Harden took a blindside hit from Largent. Largent later said in an interview that the hit was retaliation in part for an illegal hit that Harden gave him in another game earlier in the season which knocked out two of his teeth.
I leave you with Steve's highlights… the first is the great hit, and the second is a career bio…

Trending on Twitter right now…planking. No, not the planking that was so 2011.
In 2013, people are doing real planks for fitness, and in case you've never heard of planking, our fitness expert Nick Parker explains.
"A plank is basically an isometric exercise that you're holding completely still that targets your entire core. Simplest way to explain what your core is, if I were to cut off your arms and your leg, that is your core
We had one of Nick's clients plank for us while we spoke about proper planking form.
"If you're really a beginner, you can start out by planking on your knees. If you're right in the middle of the road, you can plank from regular position, which is elbows and toes, and if you're advanced, you can go to single leg planks, dynamic planks moving planks, and side planks. There's all kinds of ways to advance the plank."
Jessica, who is demonstrating how to plank, is clearly an advanced planker. She's takes Nicks boot camp class a couple days a week. She also plays tennis and does Zumba. Basically, she's in really good shape.
We had her planking in the traditional position and going for time. Part of the planking trend is tweeting your record time.
"I think it's hilarious. There's no harm in exercising more, and as long as you're doing it in a safe environment," said Parker, "planking is a great exercise to keep your posture strong, your core strong, no matter what level fitness you're at."
Nick said it doesn't burn a lot of calories, but it helps to flatten your stomach and define your abs. You can see Jessica's muscles shaking when she planks, and that's a good thing.
So maybe planking might be a great exercise to start doing before bikini season? "One of the best," said Parker.
Parker said it's also great for new moms. "After having kids, the transverse abdominous gets relaxed and starts to hang a little. It will pull that back in and start to tighten it back up and tone the front of your stomach.
Jessica held out for more than three 3 minutes, so now she's putting her boot camp buddies on notice.
"Just try to beat 3 minutes and 15 seconds," she said with a laugh.

"Borrowing" the idea from Japers Rink commenter "Gould Old Days", here's my spin on a re-alignment strategy for the NHL. Also props to commenter "What Juneau About That" for the NHL country map. With all my punny hockey player names out of the way, here's Hooks Orpik's idea:
Prince Of Wales Conference
Campbell Conference
Colorado Avalance
This idea hinges on further expansion. Like it or not, it seems only a matter of time before the new building in Kansas City finds a team playing in it (sliding into the Norris division) and also the 7th Canadian team somewhere in Southern Ontario. I know the logistical concerns of appeasing Toronto and Buffalo are hurdles all into themselves, but that's simply how I chose to sketch it out in this exercise.
Adams division breakdown: 5 of the original six teams are here, joined by a strong "State of Hockey" Minnesota market and also Ottawa. Presumptively there's an addition of another Ontario team to round it out at eight, in what's the most traditional division in the league, from top to bottom.
Patrick division breakdown: The modern day Atlantic division is joined by Buffalo, Columbus and Washington, all of whom make geographic sense. This is the most compact division in the league in terms of distance between all the teams, so naturally playoff series could make for the most intense games in the entire league.
Norris division breakdown: AKA Gary Bettman's dream: all Southern teams, all markets that have room to grow. Tampa, Dallas and Raleigh have been amongst the best markets in hockey in terms of team support when times are good, but all these teams generally spend toward's the salary floor. When Kansas City enters the league (this exercise assumes they will) they'll be here for the natural rivalry with St. Louis.
Smythe division breakdown: So sorry for the distance between the teams, but given where the NHL cities are across the West, it's impossible for it not to be this way. So here's the teams in the Southwest of the USA, the Northwest of Canada and Colorado. It sucks, but it's necessary.
The names of the conferences/divisions are back things are aligned in a way that makes more sense.

Cleveland Police were busy overnight with shootings on the east side.
Police were called to E. 79th and Woodland for a shooting. When they arrived, they only found blood and casings. The 2 male victims, a 42-year old man and his 17-year old nephew drove themselves to the Cleveland Clinic.
They told police they were driving in the area when they were approached by a man in a trench coat who opened fire on the vehicle. The man was shot in the thigh, the teen was shot in the neck.
The suspect is described as a black male, short hair, "chin whiskers" 5'9, thin 25-30 years old.
Then police were called to a shooting from a robbery attempt. Officers responded to E. 144th and Nell where the male had driven to after being shot. He later died at the hospital.
No detailed suspect information was given.
Around 3 a.m., police were driving on Woodland when they saw a large fight at 5307 Woodland Avenue. Officers heard shots fired and tried to break up the fight.
Officers observed a black male with a black and gray "varsity" jacket fleeing southbound through the lot. The victim, Samuel Cannon of Cleveland, was transported to MetroHealth Medical Center for a gunshot wound to his right thigh.
Another shooting victim came into the Cleveland Clinic around 3:46 a.m. That victim claimed he was shot at E. 108th and Superior.
At 4:18 a.m., a shooting victim showed up at University Hospital. That victim did not say where the shooting occurred.

This off-season looks promising for the Oklahoma City Thunder. An improving young team, a #3 and #25 draft pick, nice salary cap space that can attract free agents, and couple of prospect that could make the team. I mentioned Ibaka in an earlier post, but there are a few more players that the Thunder can call up if needed.
Yotam Halperin was drafted in the second round of the 2006 NBA Draft by the Supersonics. He has since gone back overseas to play in Israel and Greece. Halperin is now a shooting guard with Olympiacos BC. Just in case you weren't aware, Olympiacos is successful Greek team that Josh Childress is currently a member. Halperin is a 6'5 combo guard that has great court vision and can smoothly run an offense. Halperin is tough for his size, and has a great mid-range jumper. He is not prolific scorer, but he seems to be very efficient with a FG% of 64.5 and a 3P% of 51.8. He could be the bench shooter that the Thunder need.
You might remember the name DeVon Hardin when the Tyson Chandler trade was proposed. A second round draft pick from 2008, DeVon Hardin an athletic big man that can rebound and be a defensive force for the Thunder. DeVon possesses a 6'11, 250lb frame that is reminiscent of Dwight Howard. His biggest offensive weapon is his hook shot. Last year he bounced around Europe a little while still trying to heal from a foot injury that happened during last year's summer league. This year DeVon will be back to play with the summer league team along with Ibaka, Livingston, Westbrook, Weaver, White, and our new draftees.
If these two players make the team, don't expect an immediate impact. I see them as role player coming off the bench to contribute, but if they can live up to their potential the Thunder's chances of reaching the playoffs will become more likely.

singleplayer portion of hotly anticipated PlayStation 3 shooter Killzone 2 left a little to be desired, but at the recent Leipzig Games Conference, AusGamers had the opportunity to check out the game's high-octane multiplayer component.
Things are looking more promising for this part of the game at least. Find out why in AusGamers in-depth preview.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The Wisconsin Department of Justice wants to cast a wider net for collecting DNA samples.
Current state law requires DNA collection from anyone convicted of a felony. The DOJ wants to expand that to anyone arrested for a felony and all adults convicted of misdemeanors.
While about 12,000 samples are currently collected each year, the proposal would push that number to around 68,000. Justice officials say the proposed expansion would help solve more cases and quickly get criminals off the streets.
American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin chief Chris Ahmuty tells the State Journal the expansion "turns the presumption of innocence on its head." Ahmuty says if no charges are filed or there's an acquittal, it raises concerns about how the DNA sample could be used in the future.

Marshall Reddick and his real estate empire
Marshall Reddick of Marshall Reddick Real Estate Networkis one of the most professional real estate agents in California, and the founder of the most professional company in this area. Through his skills of management and his deep knowledge about the market, he managed to win the hearts of the clients, and now, his biggest pride is the fact that clients keep coming back to his company repeatedly.
However, the company founded by Marshall Reddick is more than a simple real estate business, it is a concept that gives the agents the liberty they need to produce sales, and also to feel comfortable about their work. If you are an agent in this area of the country, you can call this company to sign a representing contract, and you will benefit of the experience of Marshall Reddick, but you will have the chance to work as an individual also.
Marshall Reddick believes that a good market is the one where sellers and buyers are educated, and they are able to evaluate the real price of an estate. This is why he always tries to develop the skills and knowledge of the agents before sending them on the field. Moreover, through his site and through other resources, Marshall tries to educate the large public about this topic.
Considering the financial recession that affected the real estate industry greatly, it is believed that companies like this real estate firm don't have such a great future. However, it is not like that. There are still people that want to buy and sell, and even if the prices were dramatically decreased, the industry is still flourishing. Let's see the explanations of Marshall Reddick about this weird situation.
"Even if the prices were practically halved, people still want to buy and sale property and we are specially talking about people that owned two or three houses and now they want to get rid of them to cover the losses they have with their businesses. Sure, my commission is the same in percentages, 3-5 % of the total transaction, but the number of transactions is greater now, so the incomes of the real estate brokers were practically preserved".
Of course, we are talking about the professional companies that are able to meet with the expectations of the client, not about those companies that are only looking for profits, making the clients to have a bad impression about the real estate companies and about the brokerage job generally.

The most complicated and perfect way to bring Josh Smith into a Pacer uniform has been concieved. It's a four team deal, check it:
Atlanta gets:
Renaldo Balkman
Desagna Diop
Charlotte Gets:
TJ Ford
Denver Gets:
Indiana Gets:
Josh Smith
ALSO: Add draft picks accordingly to make Denver agree.
Why Atlanta does it: The Hawks have a formula for winning and it isn't adding up. All their chips seem to be down there's no way the make it past the eastern conference finals. Adding one of the top players in the league can't hurt. Balkman can play a light version of Josh Smith's D, but nothing close to his offense. Diop is a throw-in/ grabage minutes at center.
Why Charlotte does it: They need a point guard and don't wanna pay Diop 6 million for 2 more years. It's that simple.
Why Denver does it: If they need a salary drop this is the way to do it. No more paying for Balkman's 3 year contract who's fallen out of favor with George Karl. They don't take a contract that exceeds this year and Dampier's 13 million can be dropped before this year. Also, like I said this isn't enough to let Melo go but if you threw on a pick or two from various teams that would really spruce it up.
Why Indiana does it: Their need at the 4. Martin's 16 million dollar contract just fills in for Foster's and Dunleavy's cause it expires after this year too. We also trade away four players and get back only two. That makes an option of bringing back Earl Watson with the mid-level exception and finally signing Magnum Rolle.
This trade cannot be made until September 13th.

Here are three new legal blogs I'm now following:
IT Law Today. Robert D. Brownstone, c0-chair of the Electronic Information Management practice at the law firm of Fenwick & West, is the author of this blog, where he provides news and analysis relating to "the lifecycle of electronic information management." The blog is geared towards inhouse counsel and legal and IT professionals seeking to keep abreast of the latest IT developments. In recent posts, Brownstone covered new legislation in New Jersey restricting employers from asking for social-media passwords and offered tips for writing a technology acceptable use policy.
EntertainHR. For seven years, lawyers at the labor and employment firm FordHarrison wrote the blog "that's what she said", where they covered the employment law mishaps of Dunder Mifflin, the fictional paper company portrayed in the TV series, "The Office." When that series came to a close, so did the blog. Now, the firm has filled that blogging void with this new blog, which broadens its view to the entertainment world in general, covering employment issues as they arise in movies, on TV, in books and even in major league sports.
The Future of Law. There is a cottage industry within the legal field devoted to prognosticating on the future and it sometimes seems that the greater share of these prognosticators come from countries where Queen Elizabeth II reigns supreme, from Richard Susskind in London to Jordan Furlong in Ottawa. Now, the UK division of LexisNexis has joined the fray with this new blog, which will "explore the possibilities of change, identify trends and highlight the way that the legal profession is evolving." It lists more than 30 contributors, some of whom are from LexisNexis and some of whom are lawyers, consultants and IT professionals from the private sector. In fact, the list even includes some contributors from this side of the pond, such as Ryan McClead, manager of knowledge systems at Norton Rose Fulbright and contributor to 3 Geeks and a Law Blog.

Bob, I look forward to the day you highlight my Lawyers With Troubles blog posts. Growing after 50 posts, about one a week, it focuses on lawyers charged or convicted, by bar counsel or prosecutors, with ethics or criminal violations. A national scope, with attention on Indiana lawyers in the posts.
Take care.

Bob, Those appear to be three good blogs but I am looking for more blogs that focus on attorney marketing. Any suggestions??

INDIANAPOLIS – Gov. Mike Pence on Monday tapped a former county auditor to take over as the newest state auditor in January.
Rep. Suzanne Crouch, R-Evansville, has served in the Indiana House since 2005, including as vice chairwoman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Suzanne Crouch is an extraordinary individual who shares my belief that our fiscal integrity is the foundation of our prosperity in Indiana, Pence said. I know that Hoosiers are going to be able to count on Suzanne Crouch as our new auditor of state, to put her years of experience to work on their behalf each and every day.
Auditor Dwayne Sawyer abruptly turned in his resignation last month, citing personal and family reasons for his unexpected departure. He served only four months.
He had replaced Fort Wayne native Tim Berry, who served as state auditor for seven years before becoming chairman of the Indiana Republican Party.
Berry was prohibited from seeking a third term in 2014.
Pence acknowledged that he has made changes to the vetting process he uses for appointments but wouldn't specify.
I wish Rep. Crouch the best in her new appointment, Indiana Democratic Party Chairman John Zody said. However, Gov. Mike Pence still owes Hoosiers answers about how he chooses state officials and officeholders. This is Indiana's third auditor this year, meaning there has been little continuity in who is watching Hoosier tax dollars.
Crouch will start work Jan. 2 and plans to run for a full term next year.
Pence said she did not seek the job earlier this year or now. He looked at her experience and reached out to her.
Asked whether the call came out of the blue, Crouch said, Oh yeah.
But after discussing it with her husband she decided it was the best of all worlds because it allows her to interact with state government, the governor's office, the legislature and local county auditors.
She previously served two terms as Vanderburgh County auditor.
Indiana's auditor has 52 employees and a $5 million budget. Its primary roles include handling a $1 billion payroll for thousands of state employees; paying state vendors and contractors; and serving on the Indiana Board of Finance and Indiana Public Retirement System board.
Crouch is a Purdue University grad, and co-authored the bill privatizing the Indiana Toll Road – for which the money was used in part to fund the Interstate 69 extension from Evansville to Indianapolis.
A caucus of local precinct committee people will choose a replacement for Crouch. A tentative caucus date is Jan. 4. The legislative session begins Jan. 6.
Erin Sheridan will serve as interim state auditor until Jan. 2.
