text: CBS Praises Obama for Post-Sandy Visit, Attacked Bush for Same with Katrina Print article Send a Tip by Warner Todd Huston 17 Nov 2012 post a comment CBS News aired a segment full of praise for President Obama's visit to Staten Island in the wake of Hurricane Sandy Friday. But this positive spin is in stark contrast to the scolding the network gave President Bush when he visited the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. In the report on CBS This Morning, correspondent Elaine Quijano favorably included Obama in her segment on Sandy storm damage showing the President shaking hands with big smiles all around, pledging government support for the victims, and hugging and meeting with individual storm survivors. Mr. Obama was shown as a sympathetic figure ready to help—despite the fact that the area has gone for weeks without as much progress as residents have hoped. But this favorable treatment for Obama stands in stark contrast to the attacks CBS leveled against President Bush when he went to visit storm-ravaged areas after 2005's Hurricane Katrina. In 2005, CBS ravaged President Bush for holding a press conference in an air-conditioned tent as victims went without and pointedly said that residents wanted Bush to "wake up and smell the coffee." CBS's Harry Smith even wondered if religious folks that came to help might become unbearable Bible thumpers forcing poor victims to "go to church." CBS News's Harry Smith showed his silly concern over churches welcoming Katrina refugees. "Do I need to be concerned that I'm going to go live with a church family, are they going to proselytize me, are they going to say, 'You better come to church with me or else, I'm, you know, you're not going to get your breakfast this morning?'" he posed to Pastor Rick Warren. CBS spent weeks attacking George W. Bush for his response to Katrina. You'll also recall that the storm was used as another excuse for race-baiting by the whole of the Old Media. But this time, our President is presented as a hero. One has to wonder what has changed.

I had read Richard Foster's "Celebration of Discipline" many years ago with my small group. It made an impression on me, so unlike other spiritual books that have gone in and back out the door, this one I've kept around.
So I was excited when this summer's growth series was announced – led by Pastor Sam Marcum and Aletha Schelby – on "Spiritual Disciplines". They aren't following Richard Foster's book exactly, but it's a good base.
Last Wednesday night was the kickoff session, with an overview and an in-depth look at the first discipline: Meditation.
Meditation has always been this elusive thing for me. I know it's something I should be doing. Good friends of mine (Christian and not) swear by it. But somehow, if and when I get around to it, I always fall asleep.
So I was delighted when Aletha and Sam gave us examples and practical insights (including questions to ask ourselves) on what is mediation exactly, and how can we apply this to our own lives? They gave a few key points that really stood out for me:
1) Listen with Expectation.
I loved the focus on expectation. If I believe that God is going to speak to me, then of course I will enter into a joyful time of waiting and watching. Every other time I tried to meditate before, I would spend the whole time beating myself up, thinking this is not working! And yet, this approach resonated with me. Go into this meditation time with an openness and expectation that God's word will appear.
2) Meditate to Bring Fullness
One of the things that really trips me up during my attempts at meditation to date is all those crazy thoughts in my head that won't go away. Work. What I'm making for dinner. Anything. And so one of my real desires in meditation is to wade through all that noise, and find God's peace. Eastern meditation is about emptying the mind – and for me, that's true – I need the quiet. But Foster, Aletha and Sam introduced a new element to me in meditation – Fullness. For Christian meditation isn't about emptiness – it's about opening our hearts to bring in the fullness of God. The Lord is waiting for us to open the door. Can we open it, to feel his love and grace pour in?
"Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends."
(Revelation 3:20, NLT)
Finally, Aletha and Sam introduced the practical, through some pointed questions. What might be the biggest hindrance for me in trying to meditate regularly? Where would be a good place to try it this week? When would be a good time to try it this week?
I'm on day four. I picked 9:00 pm in my big brown chair. The chair was too much in the middle of the action, but the 9:00 pm slot has worked so far.
And you know what? My mind has still been racing with thoughts, but each night I've felt more peace.
And today, while driving, I felt suddenly, inexplicably full. Full of things I felt moved to say and write about. Full of God's love.
Thank you Sam and Aletha for a great start to this series!
Spiritual Disciplines continues every Wednesday night at 7:00 pm at the Mission campus through July 23. Register Here!

Critical Read
What: "The Persistence of Innovation in Government: A Guide for Innovative Public Servants," by Sandford Borins, published by the IBM Center for the Business of Government.
Why: Over the past two decades, government agencies have increasingly collaborated with other public entities and the private sector. Approximately two thirds of the applicants for the 2010 Harvard University Kennedy School's Innovations in American Government Awards reported collaborating outside the government, compared with 28 percent of award semifinalists between 1990 and 1994.
And as collaboration has increased, so has attention. Applicants for the 2010 awards have reported significantly more coverage of their projects than their counterparts from the early 1990s. Almost 90 percent of the 2010 semifinalists said their projects got some attention from the media.
The report also details the common obstacles innovators faced, and distills their experiences into a list of broad suggestions for both innovators and government executives.
Verbatim: "Societal awareness of public sector innovation has increased to the point where it is no longer a matter of only specialist concern among public servants, the proverbial inside baseball," Borins writes. "Public sector innovation has become more transparent, with increased media attention, more external evaluation, and more transfer of innovative ideas and practices."

Eric Cantor latest victim of the Tea Party
Rumors of the Tea Party's death have been greatly exaggerated. Last night they showed they are alive and well and devouring their own. Eric Cantor never thought this morning he would wake up a loser. Last night I was watching the NBA finals and my uncle called me and asked me if I had heard about Cantor. I immediately turned to CNN to be greeted with the news that Cantor had been defeated. All the pundits are stunned and asking how could this happen? Did Cantor take his eye off the ball? Was he a victim of pride? The Bible says "pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall". Last night Cantor fell.

The Last Jet-Print Edition Now on Newstands
CHICAGO, (June 6, 2014)— JET magazine will release its final print issue, hitting newsstands on June 9. The cover of the last issue salutes JET magazine's iconic history by featuring images of previous covers throughout the past 63 years. Inside, readers will find a retrospective of the news covered in the magazine dating from 1951 to the present. Coverage includes:
•A letter from President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama
•A tribute to the late Maya Angelou
•Recognition of some the biggest celebrities on the pages of JET, such as Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier, Bill Cosby, Whitney Houston, Spike Lee, Diana Ross, Halle Berry, Beyoncé, Tyler Perry and more
•A montage of the best JET beauties and the best of the "Week's Best Photo"
•The top music albums from the 1950s to the present
•Fashion and style influences over the years
•Coverage of African-American history, from the civil rights movement to a special investigative report on missing Black children
"This issue serves as the final bow to everything JET has done over the years," stated Mitzi Miller, the former editor-in-chief of JET magazine, now editor-in-chief of EBONY. "From politics to entertainment, JET magazine has had a tremendous impact on society and shaping conversations within the African-American community," she added. "I'm very proud of the work I've accomplished over the past three years, and excited to see JET now continue this tradition in a digital platform."
"I am very proud of this last issue of JET magazine," said Linda Johnson Rice, the chairman of Johnson Publishing Company (JPC). "It epitomizes the historical influence this magazine has made in this country," she continued. "For those who grew up with the magazine, they will find this issue a collection of treasured memories, and a younger audience will see it as the guide that reveals the cultural influences of today."
JET is launching a new weekly digital magazine app to address the needs of its readers to get information quickly and easily. The new app, scheduled to launch June 30, will be available on all tablet devices and mobile platforms. The content will feature breaking news and strong entertainment content, along with politics, pop culture and social issues that impact African-Americans, as well as a new EBONY/JET digital store.
The President, the POW and the PR nightmare
Why is it that everything this administration does somehow seems to be a scandal in the making? One would think the release of a POW would give the nation a reason to celebrate, but NO not this time. Why didn't the administration inform Congress prior to the release of Gitmo prisoners? Why was Susan Rice trotted out again to read talking points that are now viewed as suspect? There are so many questions that need to be answered. The POW's hometown has cancelled their celebration because the police said they did not have enough manpower to deal with protesters. So where does this leave us? One family rejoices at the homecoming of their son, but a skeptical nation deserves to have their questions answered. Share your thoughts.

I have been repeating stories about my day to my family, having trouble remembering when we did things (was it this morning or yesterday when we went to the store?) and having trouble concentrating since I started taking Lyrica for chronic pain (broken shoulder that is very slow to heal) I am on 50 mg 3x a day. I have also noticed very mild hand tremors and I have felt more emotional than usual. Age 48 and in excellent physical shape. Anyone else having these symptoms?

I took lyrica for almost a year after my accident and found that it did help my neuropathy and fibromyalgia but I did not notice the effects that you mention. After a change in insurance I went to gabapentin and that had more or less the same help for me as the lyrica and it also helped the seizures I was having. Hope this helps.
18 Sep 2012
I take Lyrica at 150mg/day for trigeminal neuralgia. I experience the same memory issues as you described (I'm 32, healthy, had no memory issues before). I also feel more "emotional", I'm not sure though if this is due to the medication or due to long-term chronic pain. Before Lyrica, I was on Neurontin, which did not help with the neuralgic pain, made me very tired and depressed. Lyrica seems a better fit for me in this respect. I heard that some patients have it the other way round - they have less side effects and less pain on Neurontin.
26 Jan 2013
I'm currently weaning off Lyrica simply because the side effects are a nightmare ..my dosage is 300mg once a day for a back injury. Although everyone is different I have read several testimonials that all say the same thing. I personally have the hand tremors, difficulty concentrating..very forgetful ..my home is in complete disarray. Its all from the Lyrica. I'am very emotional ..Its the fact that the Lyrica is blocking otherwise healthy nerves from communicating in your brain. I have to force myself to stay on task ... otherwise I will sit and ponder for 3 hours as to what I should do. I'm not at all the person I use to be
I have been on Lyrica for only 6 months. It works for pain but the side effects for me are much worse than the back pain. Please educate yourself on this medication . Its dangerous. Best of luck to you.

Gonna mix it up tonight…
Thinking about trying the Fartlek approach (random, varying intervals of sprinting and jogging | not to be confused with fartleeks - random, varying intervals of "trot barks")… seems appropriate with Insanity. I don't want to injure myself tho, so probably a mile warm up with 1-1.5 miles of Fartlek's and some cooldown distance…?
What kinda sprint workouts ya got?

Church of England delays vote on allowing women bishops until November
The Church of England delayed a vote on allowing women bishops on Monday after reformers rejected a last-minute concession to conservatives keen to keep the posts reserved for men only.
The Church's General Synod voted to send back to their current bishops for further consideration an amendment allowing dissenting parishes to choose their male bishop as their leader if a woman is named to head their diocese.
That put off a final vote on the draft legislation, which most Church of England dioceses have already approved, until the Church's next synod, or parliament, in November.
Along with the question of same-sex marriages, the consecration of women as bishops is among the most divisive issues facing the world's 77 million Anglicans.

New Post:
It's time for the yearly Body Issue published by ESPN Magazine. They call it an exhibition of the finest athletes in sports, I call it the one time of year hockey isn't forgotten about (HA! you thought I was going to be dirty). It's true. So often the NHL is brushed to the side for other sports and as an NHL fan, I feel kinda shafted. The hard working men end up being ignored, but once a year the NHL is featured, in its naked glory. http://dlvr.it/1r0SbG #upthepucks

Are you a queer or questioning self-identified woman interested in exploring queer women's identities, relationships and communities? Join us twice a month at Dear John, I Love Jane, for a free evening of discussion on topics that resonate with queer women, especially those who are exploring these issues after, or while contemplating, leaving heterosexual relationships or identities.
Come and join the discussion! We welcome all LGBT and questioning women. The group meets the second and fourth Tuesday of every month from 7:15-9pm at QMUNITY Generations, #610, 1033 Davie St, Vancouver (Wheelchair accessible, buzz 610 for entry). Meetings start at 7:15 sharp! To RSVP or for more information contact email@example.com or 604 684 5307.
September 9th:
Step-parenting presents its own challenges, whatever your sexual orientation, but even dating someone with children – whatever their ages – can be a daunting experience if you've never done it before, or if you're the one with the children! Come join the discussion on Tuesday, September 9 at 7:15 PM.
Tuesday, Sept 23, 6:45 – 9:15 pm*: Sexuality, Intimacy, and Desire
A workshop for queer women, led by Val Wilkins and Norine Braun of Safe Choices.
As LGBT women, most of us have not seen ourselves fully represented or acknowledged by the culture at large. Our sexuality is often ignored or else fetishized, and authentic conversations about sexual response between women is not common.
In this 2.5 hr. Healthy Relationship Workshop, we will focus on the need for good communication skills in developing a language to talk about sex, intimacy, and desire, as well as to understand our own barriers to doing so.
Whether you're in a relationship now or not, this workshop is sure to be fun and stimulating!
Please note that an RSVP is required for this workshop, as our space is limited.
*Please note the earlier start time.

The popularity of youth football in Tracy and Mountain House has leveled off this year with five football organizations, some with full rosters at all levels, others still seeking players — and a sixth program shutting its doors .
Returning to the gridiron are the Tracy Junior Bulldogs and Tracy Cougars, who both had championship teams in the Delta Youth Football League. The Tracy Buccaneers return after having one championship team last year in the Delta Youth Sports Association-Nor Cal, and the Tracy Rampage begins its second year in the DYSA-Nor Cal.
All four teams will play home games at Tracy, West and Kimball high schools on a rotating basis.
The Mountain House Hurricanes are also growing, this year competing in the San Jose Police Activities League and playing home games at Mountain House High School.
Panther Youth Football has shut down after five years in town.
Tracy Junior Bulldogs
The oldest youth football program in town, the Tracy Junior Bulldogs, is in its 41st year, though for most of those years it was the Tracy Raiders.
The Junior Bulldogs sent three of their four teams to the Delta Youth Football League Super Bowl last year. Two of them, junior novice and novice, won their league titles, while the varsity team was league runner-up.
Once again, the Junior Bulldogs are full at the lower levels.
"Novice, we have too many, so we're going to have to move kids," Junior Bulldogs president Jonathan Blackwell said. "We can cut (players) in our league, but I don't want to, so we'll move kids up and down to make sure that we don't (cut kids)."
Blackwell added that the Junior Bulldogs still needed to fill their varsity roster, which will include mostly seventh- and eighth-graders. As of this week, the varsity team had 19 players, 18 boys and one girl, and Blackwell said that one of the parents in the organization has offered to sponsor registration fees for at least five more players.
The Junior Bulldogs will have their first three games on the road, starting with the Northwest Stockton Trojans at Lincoln High on Aug. 31. The first home games will be Sept. 27 against the Manteca Timberwolves at Kimball High.
Tracy Cougars
The Tracy Cougars, beginning their 12th year, will also compete in the Delta Youth Football League.
Cougars president John Harvey said the team was still taking players at all four levels. So far, 106 players have signed up, including 15 on the varsity team. Harvey said the Cougars would waive fees for eighth-graders who want to sign up for the varsity team.
The Cougars sent their junior varsity team to the DYFL Super Bowl and beat the Northwest Stockton Trojans for the league title.
Harvey, who coached that team, is looking for a repeat on that level.
"We have a pretty good amount coming back from that team," Harvey said. "There's a few that moved up. We also have some that moved up from the novice team to the JV (who were) on my novice team two years ago when we won the Super Bowl."
The junior novice level, ages 6 to 8, got an influx of new players this year, which Harvey hopes will build the program for future years.
The Cougars open their season on the road Aug. 30 at Lathrop High against the Lathrop Spartans. Their first home game will be the next week, Sept. 6, against the North Stockton Bengals at Tracy High.
Tracy Buccaneers
Tracy Buccaneers president James Brakkee said the new season was also a new start as the Buccaneers get into their 11th year.
The Buccs had one Delta Youth Sports Association-Nor Cal champion in 2013 after the Rookie team beat the Manteca Cowboys in the DYSA Nor Cal Super Bowl.
Brakkee said that repeated success would depend on how well the organization's newcomers adapted.
"We've got a lot of new faces, a lot of new coaches," he said. "This is probably our best start in a while. Everything is going smooth."
The Buccaneers don't make cuts, but they do limit sign-ups at all four levels on a first-come, first-served basis. Brakkee said that many players and coaches moved over to the Mountain House Hurricanes and Tracy Rampage, but new players and coaches joined the Buccs this year.
"Sometimes people leave, and the people who came in are super friendly," Brakkee said. "A lot of people are willing to help."
The Buccaneers begin their regular season Aug. 23 at home against the Central Valley Panthers. The venue for the game has not been confirmed.
Mountain House Hurricanes
The Hurricanes are starting their third year with a new league and a new stadium.
The Mountain House team will now compete mostly with Bay Area teams through the San Jose Police Activities League.
"We just wanted a change," Hurricanes president Mo Kaho'onei said. "We have a lot of families that are from the Bay Area. When we made the change, they were very happy, because Grandma and Grandpa and family members are able to come and watch the grandkids."
The San Jose P.A.L. has five divisions —Mighty Mites, Junior Pee Wee, Pee Wee, Junior Midget and Midget — with kids from age 6 in the Mighty Mites and up to eighth grade in the Midget division. Each division is based on the players' age and weight.
"You're playing great teams every single week," Kaho'onei said. "We get to play feeder systems for the big high schools in the Bay Area."
The Hurricanes have 110 players among the five divisions practicing at Questa School and are still taking sign-ups, Kaho'onei said.
Also new this year, the Hurricanes will play in the stadium at Mountain House High School, which opens this month.
"We're excited to play in the stadium and represent Mountain House. It's going to be a lot of fun," Kaho'onei said.
The schedule for the 2014 season hasn't been confirmed, but the San Jose P.A.L. begins play Aug. 30 and the Hurricanes are on the road for the first two weeks. The first home game will be Sept. 13 against a team to be announced.
Tracy Rampage
The newest youth football program in town, the Tracy Rampage, begins its second year enjoying a surge in popularity.
"We are completely full at all levels, while the other teams are not. We're turning people away," Rampage president Chris Lavagetto said. "Our first sign-up, we signed up more kids than we had our entire year last year."
He noted that the Rampage had 106 players and nine cheerleaders in its inaugural year in 2013 and now has about 140 football players and 42 cheerleaders.
"We've got some of the coaches here from some of the other programs who wanted to try out something new, something fresh," Lavagetto said.
He said that the two youngest of the four divisions, the Starts and the Rookies, made it as far as their division championships in the first year. The goal this year is not just to repeat that success, but to create a stable program, he said.
The Rampage plays in the Delta Youth Sports Association-Nor Cal, and will start the season on the road Aug. 23 against the Modesto Raiders. The first home game will be Aug. 30 against the House Warriors of Modesto. The local venue for the home opener has not been announced.

In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease, and since then it has become an invaluable resource to people worldwide who seek information about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet.
In 1998 I created The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore! which was also another Internet first—it was the first gluten-free food site to offer a shopping cart-style interface, and the ability for people to order gluten-free products manufactured by many different companies at a single Web site.
I am also co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of Journal of Gluten Sensitivity.
Celiac.com 08/11/2005 - A large study by Swedish and American researchers has determined that untreated celiac disease is associated with an increased risk of adverse fetal outcome. In contrast to several small studies that have been done in the past that produced conflicting results, this study looked at 2,078 births to women who were diagnosed with celiac disease—1,149 were diagnosed prior to their child's birth, while 929 were diagnosed after. The researches employed a national register-based cohort study (1964-2001) that was restricted to women between 15-44 years old who had a single live birth. The researchers measured intrauterine growth retardation, low birth weight, very low birth weight, preterm birth, very preterm birth and birth by caesarean section for each child in the study.
The results of the study indicate that undiagnosed celiac disease is associated with an increased risk of intrauterine growth retardation (OR = 1.62; 95% CI: 1.22-2.15), low birth weight (OR = 2.13; 95% CI: 1.66-2.75), very low birth weight (OR =2.45; 95% CI: 1.35-4.43), preterm birth (OR = 1.71; 95% CI: 1.35-2.17), and caesarean section (OR = 1.82; 95% CI: 1.27-2.60). In contrast, those diagnosed with celiac disease before their births were not at increased risk for these adverse fetal outcomes.
The researchers conclude that undiagnosed celiac disease increases the risk of unfavorable fetal outcomes—a risk that is reduced in those with diagnosed celiac disease, presumably because they have been treated with a gluten-free diet.

Bill Clinton is credited with balancing the budget but he could only spend what came to him from the Republican House of Representatives. He was sent bills that did not blow out the debt. The Dems give Clinton credit for what the GOP did during his term in restraining spending. We blew nearly the entire cost of the Iraq war on Obama's stimulus which did us about as much good as the war in Iraq. The war may have been misguided but the stimulus was either stupid or engineered to steer money to the administration's goals.

Why does the Fed chair need to be American?
Today's rapturously-received news that Mark Carney, a Canadian, will be the next governor of the Bank of England reminded me of this tweet from Charles Kenny:
One day we'll see legal discrimination by *place* of birth as evil as discrim. by other features of birth –gender, orientation, color.
— Charles Kenny (@charlesjkenny) June 25, 2011
As far as I can tell, absolutely everybody thinks that Carney is the best possible person for the Bank of England job, and that it's an absolute triumph for UK chancellor George Osborne that he managed to persuade Carney to change his mind and accept it.
Much the same can be said of Stanley Fischer, who's done a fantastic job running the Bank of Israel. Indeed, in general, high-profile public-sector jobs tend to be done better when they're done by foreign nationals. The logic is simple: if you're choosing from a global pool of candidates rather than simply a national pool of candidates, you'll end up with a better person at the end.
Which raises the obvious question: why is such a move still unthinkable in the US? There are lots of big jobs coming up here: Treasury secretary, SEC chairman, Fed chairman — and all of them are going to go, automatically, to US nationals. Think about it this way: Mark Carney is the best central banker in the world, and he would be an amazing replacement for Ben Bernanke. What's more, given the choice, he would surely plump for the Fed over the Bank of England. So it's reasonable to assume that if the US wanted him, they could have had him.
In England, everybody has cheered the choice of Carney as inspired — but if the same announcement had happened in the US, there would be an immediate chorus of boos. Apparently US exceptionalism is so deeply ingrained in the national psyche that not only must everybody always believe that the US is the greatest nation on the planet, it is also necessary to believe that all the greatest people on the planet were born here too. (Except Jesus, maybe.)
It's obvious that the leadership of the world's most important international financial institutions — the World Bank and the IMF — should go to the best-qualified candidate, rather than whomever happens to have been chosen for the job by the US and Europe respectively. But the fact is that the same is true for the world's most important national financial institutions as well. If England can have a Canadian central bank chief, why can't the US pick a Brazilian? Arminio Fraga for the Fed! It would be inspired.

This section of the Federal Reserve Act seems to me to be pretty clear that a nominee has to at least be a US resident: "In selecting the members of the Board, not more than one of whom shall be selected from any one Federal Reserve district, the President shall have due regard to a fair representation of the financial, agricultural, industrial, and commercial interests, and geographical divisions of the country."
Also, would the UK have the same rapturous reception if Carney were, say, a Frenchman, and not from a Commonwealth country still subject to the Queen, which has had a particularly close relationship and two-way movement of high-level individuals even for a Commonwealth country?
Axel Weber for Fed Chair : – )
Don't be daft; of course Jesus is American.
Anyway, I do think there's some level on which a decent chunk of Americans don't think of Fed chairman as a technocrat, which (probably?) is what he is or should be. Although I guess a decent chunk of Americans don't seem to think much lately of allowing Americans to hire non-Americans for much of anything else, for that matter, whether a job that is essentially political or one that is essentially technical.
Anyway, I understand that Carney is at least expected to seek some sort of British "national" status. So if what's-her-name at Pepsico gets one of these jobs, perhaps that's not entirely different.
Beyond the obvious legal requirements the answer to why the Fed Chairman has to be American is easy: The U.S. is no longer a meritocracy, it's an AffirmativeActionocracy.
Until there are at least several U.S. ethnics and/or females who serve in this position (whether qualified or not…), and anyone but a white male all get a chance to sit in the Chair it'll be impossible for a non-U.S. citizen no matter how uberqualifed to even have a shot.
FS must have gotten an early start the 'Christmas cheer' this year. I mean, for Christ's sake – any clown with Harvard-econ and 13-years at GS to answer for, well … that résumé should have gone straight to the shredder.
"As far as I can tell, absolutely everybody thinks that Carney is the best possible person for the Bank of England job"
I think that needs to be taken with a pinch of salt; this is the same "absolutely everybody" that thought Paul Tucker was the best possible person until about 1439 GMT yesterday. Nobody wants to start their relationship with a new Governor in a hostile manner; if Coco the Clown had been selected, you would still have got an FT editorial about his statesmanlike qualities, and it would have been roughly as fulsome and embarrassing as the one they actually wrote.
The movement of a resident from a commonwealth country back to England is not exactly a good example of "head-hunting for foreigners".
The GOP would scream holy hell and accuse Obama of selling out the nation and turning over our central bank to a shyster.
"Anyway, I understand that Carney is at least expected to seek some sort of British "national" status."
He's a Commonwealth citizen who already owes allegiance to the Queen, so he's good to go. He could serve as a Royal Navy officer, Member of Parliament, even Prime Minister (PM Andrew Bonor Law was Canadian)– unless of course he's Catholic.
The US Government generally requires US citizenship for most appointments. The President has authority to waive all sort of requirements, but since the Senate has to confirm Fed Chairmen and governors anyway, I'm dubious any President would try. On the bright side, the US Govt is remarkably tolerant of Catholics.
Forgive me for still not being over having lost the election but permit me to repeat one of the few thoughts Mitt managed to communicate to the electorate.
"There are superior cultures in the world and ours is one."
Even my friends at Fox News now understand the demographic trends at this point. We know the Latino citizens want their friends and family in and if we don't welcome them with open arms we'll never again win a national vote. Fine.
We do need to remember though that as politically incorrect as it might be to say out loud… there is a REASON several billion people would like to move to The US, Northern Europe, Canada and Australia.
Charles Kennedy is nothing less than childish as it pretends that the Earth can support 7 billion western lifestyles instead of 1.

Since 2000 only one Hawkeye basketball player has been selected in the NBA Draft and that was 7 years ago. A guy by the name of Adam Haluska was taken in the second round. Since then it has been nothing but crickets from the Iowa basketball program.
Well, this just might be the year an Iowa player is finally selected again.
Iowa shooting guard/point guard, Roy Devyn Marble, is the latest hopeful.
A native of Southfield, Michigan, Marble definitely has the height and the length to play at the next level. At 6'6″, he has the ability to disrupt players quite often. He consistently gets in passing lanes and alters shots from smaller guards. Currently he sits at 194 pounds, so he could benefit from adding some muscle mass.
Marble currently leads the Hawkeyes in points per game at 16. He also averages 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals a game for the 17th ranked Hawkeyes. He's had stretches where he's really carried Iowa this season, but then again he's had stretches where he's been wildly inconsistent going whole halves without scoring. Now, he's come out in the second half and scored in double digits just about every time, but you'd like to see him become more balanced in that category.
He likely plays the wing in the NBA because I don't know if he will be able to run the point for an NBA offense. His height and length better suit him playing the wing anyways.
Something teams will look at is his field goal and free throw percentage. Right now, Marble is shooting 42% from the field and 69% from the line. These numbers may worry some teams on draft night. However, Marble hasn't been a great shooter during his whole time in a Hawkeye uniform. His highest percentage was 44% during his sophomore campaign. He does still find ways to be productive though.
It really startles me that his free throw percentage is down where it's at, considering last year he shot 81% from the line.
There are only a couple things that really worry me with Marble. Sometimes he has a tendency to become a black hole with the basketball. For instance, he took 23 shots in the games against Xavier and Villanova and then 24 shots in the loss to Wisconsin about a month ago. He's been better recently, but will shoot some shots that may be ill-advised.
The other thing is he sometimes struggles keeping his man in front of him. Smaller players will go around him with relative ease. Aaron Craft was a perfect example of that last Tuesday.
There are a lot of things that he does well though. In my opinion, Marble is one of the best finishers at the rim in college basketball, especially in transition. He absorbs contact well and knows what it takes to get a foul call. His length and athletic ability no doubt help him in this aspect of the game. As I mentioned earlier, he gets in passing lanes very well, also.
Currently, Walterfootball.com has Marble going 44th to the Washington Wizards. Draft Express has him going one slot ahead of that at number 43. I think that early to mid second round is a fair place for him to be selected.
If all goes well, Iowa should have their first draftee in the last 7 years.
I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Hindawi grows to more than 5,000 submissions in March
April 2, 2012
Hindawi Publishing Corporation is pleased to announce that it has received over 5,400 submissions in March across its portfolio of 300+ open access journals, which represents an increase of 80% from March 2011.
"I am incredibly pleased with the growth that we have seen in submissions to our open access journals over the past year," said Paul Peters, Hindawi's Head of Business Development. "In addition to the strong growth of our more well-established journals, several of which are expected to receive upwards of 1,000 submissions this year, we are happy to see that many of the newer journals that we launched over the past few years have already built incredible momentum and are on track to becoming leading journals within their respective fields."
In explaining the reasons for the company's growth, Hindawi's Editorial Manager, Mohamed Hamdy, emphasized the importance of the increasing coverage of Hindawi's journals by the major Abstracting and Indexing services. "As the coverage of our journals within PubMed, the Web of Science, Scopus, and a number of subject specific databases has grown over the past year, we have seen a very positive reaction from our authorship. We now have more than 30 journals indexed in the Web of Science, and close to 150 journals indexed in PubMed, and as the indexing of our journals continues to expand I expect that we will see very strong growth in the submissions to these journals."
In addition to the journals that are hosted on the company's main website (http://www.hindawi.com/), Hindawi has been developing a number of independent journal platforms over the past two years, each with a specific editorial focus. The first of these platforms was the ISRN series (http://www.isrn.com/), which was launched in mid-2010 with the aim of providing a fast-track review process for all submitted manuscripts, and by March of 2012 the ISRN series accounted for 20% of Hindawi's total submissions. More recently Hindawi has launched two new platforms including Datasets International (http://www.datasets.com/), which focuses on the publication of Dataset Papers as well as the underlying datasets that they describe, and Conference Papers in Science (http://www.cpis.com/), which publishes peer-reviewed manuscripts that arise from conference presentations and workshops. While it is still too early to evaluate the success of these new initiatives, Hindawi is hopeful that these platforms will be able to build significant momentum over the coming year.

After adding the oil, the dough will tend to break into pieces. Stop the machine & use your hand to knead the dough before continue kneading with the machine. Alternatively, you can knead by hand until a smooth & elastic dough is formed.

Three major legal mechanisms exist for providing involuntary community treatment to people who are violent and mentally disabled: outpatient commitment, preventive commitment, and conditional release from a hospital. In most states, predicted deterioration is either the explicit or the de facto criterion for involuntary community treatment. However, the constitutionality of this standard has been the subject of considerable debate, centering on whether involuntary treatment in the community requires a showing of imminent dangerousness and an overt act of dangerousness and whether a person who is not dangerous solely because of treatment may be committed. The author suggests that the predicted deterioration standard is constitutional, but only if it is accompanied by limitations on the duration of commitment and proof that involuntary treatment is necessary to prevent danger to self or others. The author also discusses whether a person committed under the predicted deterioration standard has the right to refuse treatment and whether persons hospitalized after being committed to involuntary community treatment should receive a hearing.

UK experts: Cosmetic surgery needs tighter rules
Friday - 4/26/2013, 12:02am EDT
AP Medical Writer
LONDON (AP) -- A group of independent experts has slammed Britain's cosmetic surgery industry for not protecting patients adequately and is calling for stricter controls in the aftermath of a breast implant scandal in Europe last year that left tens of thousands of women with cheap silicone implants prone to ruptures. A top British health official, meanwhile, signaled support for their recommendations.
In a review of how cosmetic procedures are regulated, the group said all skin fillers should be available by prescription only and that all practitioners -- from surgeons to aestheticians who inject Botox -- must be properly qualified. The expert group, commissioned by the U.K. Department of Health, also called for the creation of a registry of implants and other medical devices and an ombudsman for private health care, among other suggestions.
The recommendations were released in a report on Wednesday.
The British government has previously rejected calls to oversee cosmetic procedures and the industry is largely self-regulated. There are few rules on who is allowed to perform a non-surgical cosmetic intervention.
"Anyone can give you a (skin) filler anytime, anywhere," said Bruce Keogh, medical director of the National Health Service, who led the review. "This is a bizarre situation."
During an embargoed press briefing on Monday, Keogh said the commercialization of the industry has led to some questionable claims about the efficacy of certain procedures.
"This is a pretty data-free zone," Keogh said.
In the report, Keogh and others wrote that a person having a non-surgical procedure such as a Botox injection "has no more protection and redress than someone buying a ballpoint pen."
They noted that the cosmetic interventions sector has grown by 300 percent in the last five years and that the use of procedures such as injecting substances to smooth out the skin make up 75 percent of the market. "It is our view that dermal fillers are a crisis waiting to happen," the report concluded. Side effects from skin fillers can include scarring, infection and even blindness.
Catherine Kydd, a Briton who received faulty breast implants, said stricter ethical policies should be in place for those who perform cosmetic surgeries and procedures.
"When you see a surgeon, you shouldn't be seeing a salesman," she said.
Regulations on cosmetic interventions in the U.K. are more lax than elsewhere. In Denmark, anyone carrying out cosmetic interventions must be registered with a national health board. When standards are breached, the board can suspend a clinic's operations, impose fines, strike professionals off the register and refer cases to the police. There is no such system in the U.K.
Keogh noted there are about 190 different types of skin fillers available in Europe versus only 14 approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
In a statement, Dr. Dan Poulter, a senior minister in the Department of Health, said it was time for the government to step in. "There is a significant risk of people falling into the hands of cowboy firms or individuals or individuals whose only aim is to make a quick profit," he said.
Poulter said the government would respond to the report in detail in the summer.

2013 ITA Fall Nationals Doubles Semi-Final Match tiebreaker

2013 ITA Fall Nationals Doubles Semi-Final Match tiebreaker
Wash U won the first set and Whitman took the 2nd Set.
(sorry about the angle of the video — camera was clipped onto the fence
Wow I can't believe it has been 5 days since the ITA National finals! Also can't believe that I didn't write an update:( Sorry to the Whitman tennis family.
JAVA (James and Andrew) had an unbelievable, indeed a magical, run to the national championship finals. Dating back to the regional ITA tournament they won 4 consecutive matches that went to a match tie-breaker! In fact after they lost the national championship match they were joking that they knew they were in trouble because the finals was a full third set match!
While JAVA was winning nailing biting matches their opponents from Middlebury had swept through the draw without dropping a set. In fact in the Middlebury's previous two matches they had lost a total of 11 games (closest set was 6-3). Team JAVA was certainly battle tested going into the match but the Middlebury team was playing with a ton of confidence.
The beginning of the match was an absolutely battle — tons of long games and a lot of break opportunities. Early in the first set JAVA drew the first break and was up 4-2 with Middlebury serving. Looking back this was the critical game of the match. At 4-2 JAVA had 5 break points to go up 5-2 serving. But the Middlebury team was relentless in their serving attack — every time they need a point they bombed in a big serve or made a clutch volley. I wonder what would of happened of JAVA had capitalized on one of those break points. With a 2 break lead I think they would of closed out the 1st set putting them 1 set away form the national title. However Middlebury ended up holding and then breaking […]
Really speechless this evening. What an unbelievable run this fall for James and Andrew (JAVA). A week ago they won the northwest ITA/USTA doubles tournament by gutting out a 3rd set match breaker against teammates Andy Riggs and Steven Roston. Yesterday they won a tough play-in match against Trinity (was 10-2 in the 3rd set breaker).
This afternoon they played the #1 team from Skidmore. And just like their previous two matches they dropped the 1st set. And just like their last two matches they were basically deadlocked in the 2nd set before going on an amazing streak — today they were tied at 2-2 in the 2nd set when they ripped off 4 straight games to even the match at 1-set all. They ended carrying their momentum into the 3rd set breaker winning 10-4.
So JAVA has now won 3 straight matches in a 3rd set match breaker.
In the semi-finals JAVA played a very good Wash U team. And just like the early matches they dropped the 1st first set — this time 1 break 3-6. However they kept their cool, continued to compete and work hard to win the 2nd set 6-3. This match breaker really went down to the wire. We got a bit lucky at 10-10 in the tiebreak when the Wash U team made an uncharacteristic mistake. Andrew took advantage of that mistake to uncork a huge serve winning the match 3-6, 6-3, 12-10.
Java has now won 4 straight matches in a 3rd set match breaker. Coach now has much more grey in beard!
Tomorrow they get the opportunity to play for the National Doubles title against Middlebury. Match is scheduled for 215pm. As usual there will be twitter updates at #whitmantennis.
Sorry […]
What a whirlwind couple days. Monday after classes we left Walla Walla and drove to Portland to catch a 1040pm red-eye to Florida. By getting in somewhat early on Tuesday (10am) we had some time to hit and get used to the heat and humidity (its near 90 with pretty high humidity).
First match of the day was Andrew vs Trinity's D1 transfer Paxton Deuel. Paxton certainly proved he is a force to be reckoned with in D3 — not only did he easily win the Texas region (I don't think he dropped a set) but he played very steady tennis today to take down Andrew 6-2, 6-3. Andrew never really found his rhythm the entire match. But a lot of that was due to the fact the Trinity standout hit a heavy deep ball. Regardless Andrew had some chances — in the first set 5 games went to deuce and Andrew couldn't capitalize on any of the big points (he lost all 5 of those games).
In the afternoon, it was another Whitman vs Trinity matchup as team JAVA (James and Andrew) took on the top team from Trinity. From the start JAVA was just a bit off. They were tight, easily frustrated and in general not making enough balls to give themselves a chance in the match. At 5-5 the wheels came off a bit as James was broken and Trinity held at love to take the 1st set 7-5. Plus the first game of the 2nd set Andrew was easily broken giving Trinity all the momentum at the start of the 2nd set. At one point in the set the Whitties were down a break 2-3 when JAVA FINALLY started to loosen up. Instead of being frustrated and upset they […]
With the school calendar being pushed back a week everything this season seems very rushed. In past year's I've always enjoyed taking the team on a backpacking or camping trip. However since we just finished our regional ITA tournament I felt it might be better to do a wilderness "retreat" vs a full-blown backpacking trip. The college owns a special wilderness area about 17 miles from campus that includes classroom space, 2 houses and numerous small cabins. Best of all its far enough into the mountains that cell phone signals don't work!
My plan was get to the Wilderness Campus in the early evening so players could study a bit and then hang out in the evening. Unfortunately even the best plans sometimes go astray. One of the freshman who won't be named *cough cough Parker cough cough* decided to show up an hour late for our trip. By the time we got up the Wilderness Campus it was already dark and time for dinner.
Since I knew I didn't want to cook that night I spent most of the day cooking 2 pork shoulders to make pulled pork sandwiches (a team favorite). I was actually surprised the guys almost completely demolished two full shoulders of pork (it's a lot of meat!).
After dinner a few guys studied while others started into Settlers of Catan. And James decided to hit a sofa and go to sleep at 8pm. Who can blame him — cool mountain air coupled with the sound of nearby Mill Creek is enough to make anyone drift off to sleep. I shouldn't give James too much grief since I was asleep only an hour after him.
Since the guys had destroyed the entire pulled pork I […]
What a fantastic past week for Whitman tennis. On Monday we had the official opening of our new courts — and boy are these courts awesome. I've played/coached many places and I've never seen such a beautiful setting for tennis. The courts were opened just in time as we were slated to host the Northwest ITA/USTA regional tournament on Friday. I had many a sleepless night wondering if the courts would be done in time for the tournament.
For the ITA /USTA regional tournament teams are assigned how many players they get into the main draw based on last year's conference finish. As the top team in the conference we were slotted 8. However we are 13 deep this year so we had to put 5 players into qualifying. Really too bad for these players as many of them can compete with the #1's from any team in the conference. On Friday the 5 Whitman qualifiers all ran through their qualifying matches without dropping a set (Will Huskey, James Rivers, Joey Diaz, Parker Silverman, and Jacob Christensen).
There are far too many matches to highlight but let me say the Whitman players pretty much dominated the event. In singles we had 9 of the final 16 players and all 4 singles semi-finalists. In doubles we had 4 of the final 8 teams and both finalist. It was SUCH a gratifying experience to see all the men on the Whitman team battle (and defeat) the top players from the other schools. One of the best moments of the weekend was Sunday morning when, about the same time, Whitman players knocked off higher seeds in three sets — freshman Petar Jivkov won had a wonderful match against one […]
This week again had a lot of nominations for the yellow jersey — Steven, Andrew, Nasko, Jake, and Petar, but James gets the yellow jersey for the week. Way to go James!
Congratulations to James for being voted the yellow jersey!
James Rivers! James was the overwhelming nominee for the yellow jersey this week. James was cleared to start practicing with the team and has been a bundle of positive energy. Teammates also noted that even while out of practice, James was coming to the conditioning sessions and practices (even though he couldn't play). Never easy to be out with an injury and James handled the situation beautifully.
Preseason rankings are out:
Whitman #13 nationally and #6 in the West
Colton Malesovas #10 Nationally #3 in West
Andrew La Cava #10 in the West
Andy Riggs #13 in the West
Andrew La Cava/James Rivers #2 Nationally #1 in West
Matt Tesmond/Andy Riggs #6 in West
Steven Roston/Noah Lee #13 in West
