We need maintenance therapy today to combat a rise in opioid use. But many courts and prisons cling to a Reagan-era "Just say no" mind-set. By Sally Satel
Political Animal
As we await the president's immigration announcement and The Conservative Freakout, I ran across (h/t/ Sarah Posner) a new Pew analysis of the growth of Pentecostal Protestantism in Latin America—featuring a Q&A with religion professor Andrew Chesnut—and learned a lot.
I wasn't really aware of Pentecostalism's ethnic/racial advantage over Catholicism in Latin America. Here's Chesnut:
[T]he Pentecostal preachers tend to sound more like their congregants. They are often unlettered and they speak to their flock in the same way that people in Latin American speak to each other. They also tend to look like their congregants. So in Guatemala, many preachers are Mayan, and in Brazil they are Afro-Brazilian. By contrast, in the Catholic Church, most priests are part of the elite. They are either white or mestizo and many are actually from Europe.
I also didn't know how important the "health and wealth gospel" was to Latin American Pentecostalism. The former emphasizes faith healing; the latter is a version of the familiar "prosperity gospel" you hear in the U.S. from people like T.D. Jakes.
And finally, I didn't know how thoroughly "charismatic" worship practices had spread among Latin American Catholics in response to Pentecostal inroads. Again, here's Chesnut:
Starting in the late '60s the Catholic Church embraced charismatic Christianity. That has been the church's primary response to Pentecostal inroads. The Catholic Charismatic Renewal offers the same ecstatic spirituality, the same healing, but people get to keep the Virgin Mary, and saints as well. So on paper, the Charismatic Renewal offers the best of both worlds.
This strategy has been somewhat successful. It hasn't stopped losses to the Pentecostal churches, but those losses would have been much more acute if it hadn't been for this renewal movement in the Latin American Catholic Church.
But here's the most interesting data point:
Pentecostalism is now overwhelmingly anchored in Latin America, rather than the United States. In Brazil, for example, the Assemblies of God has 10 million to 12 million members, while the American Assemblies of God church has 2 million to 3 million. So now, the Brazilian church is the big brother and the United States is seen as mission territory.
Many [Latin American] churches are now sending out missionaries to the United States, as well as to Europe and Africa and even Asia.
Since Pentecostalism originated in the U.S., and not all that long ago (specifically, in Los Angeles in 1906), this is a re-import into the U.S., undoubtedly reinforced by immigrants. Since Pentecostal Latin Americans are generally more open to conservative political appeals than their Catholic (or more recently, unchurched) brethren, you'd think Republicans would be a bit more open to them as well. But you don't get the sense GOPers much differentiate among those people who don't look or talk like them.
If you want a good indicator of how far off the rails today's conservatives have become on gun issues, check out John McCormick's report at Bloomberg Politics on the big trouble Dr. Ben Carson's gotten himself into:
Ahead of a weekend trip to Iowa, potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson sought to assure supporters Wednesday evening that he's a strong Second Amendment supporter.
As he inches closer to the prospect of a presidential campaign, Carson used a conference call to try to address questions about his loyalty to gun rights. Skeptics often point to a statement the neurosurgeon-turned-conservative-activist made in 2013 to conservative talk-show host Glenn Beck, who asked whether people have the right to own semi-automatic weapons.
"It depends on where you live," Carson told Beck. "If you live in the midst of a lot of people, and I'm afraid that that semi-automatic weapon is going to fall into the hands of a crazy person, I would rather you not have it."
Turns out it's possible to convince "the base" you're a damn RINO squish even on Glenn Beck's show. But now Carson's back into the unassailable position of a stone fanatic:
Carson said that "under no circumstances" would he "allow a bureaucrat to remove any law-abiding citizen's rights for any kind of weapon that they want to protect themselves."
Anti-aircraft batteries? Nuclear weapons? No matter: best to err on the side of extremism in today's GOP.
Political animals of a certain age will probably remember the saga of the Southern Regional Presidential Primary of 1988. Designed (not, as is often reported, by the DLC, but by the Southern Legislative Conference, a state legislators' group) to provide a "moderate" and most definitely a regional counterweight to the usual liberal activist tilt of Iowa and New Hampshire, the event instead pretty much reduced the presidential field to Mike Dukakis and Jesse Jackson, with Al Gore hanging on without a great deal of momentum. By 1992 the regional primary had come unglued.
Well, now the idea's back, but among Republicans, and under a different label: "The SEC Primary." As Jim Galloway and Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported back on November 4, the prime mover is Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp (he of the lost 40,000 voter registration applications), and he's trying to herd six states (GA, AL, AR, LA, MS and TN) to join heavy-weights FL and TX in holding their 2016 primaries on March 1, the first day allowable under the new RNC calendar. The primary calendar guru Josh Putnam thinks LA won't move from a Saturday primary and AR could be a heavy lift, but otherwise the "SEC" plan is a possibility (I guess Missouri's just left out, and South Carolina already has a privileged February primary).
As to how an "SEC primary" will affect the Republican nominating process, it's too early to know. It could create a convenient mopping up moment for a national front-runner on a landscape too large for financially struggling challengers; that's how it worked out on the GOP side in 1988. But you can see how it could have been a major headache for Mitt Romney in 2012, assuming his conservative opponents had worked out a way to focus on different states. One aspect of the March 1 date is significant: it will be too early under the rules for winner-take-all primaries; in that sense it could help non-frontrunners. At this point, though, it's not clear whether or if so when there will be any front-runner. As for the favorite-son factor: the vast list of "mentioned" 2016 candidates includes the relatively low total of five from the states we are talking about: two from TX (Cruz and Perry) and two from FL (Bush and Rubio) and one from LA (Bobby Jindal). It's a pretty good guess that one each from FL and TEX either won't run or will have dropped out by March 1, and I personally don't think Bobby Jindal's going to last long as anything other than a Veep possibility. So theoretically, it could be a pretty big day for somebody. But as Democrats can tell you, don't be too sure this far in advance who that might be.
I got to see the Allman Brothers a couple of times before Duane's death (last time I saw them was in New Orleans during JazzFest—I think in 2000—in what might have been Dickie Betts' last performance with them). They were prominent in the brief moment in the late 60s when Atlanta—with the free concerts at Piedmont Park frequently featuring the Allmans—was the center of the hippie universe. Good times. Sad to see the Bros retire.
Here are some more contemporary midday news/views treats:
* Another campus shooting, this time at FSU; three injured (one critically), shooter killed by police.
* Highly influential Univision news anchor Jorge Ramos giving emphatic advance thumbs-up to Obama's executive action on immigration.
* New Republican House speaker-designate in Nevada has long paper trail of toxic op-eds.
* House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers says "defunding" Obama's immigration action "impossible." Lucky for him he got re-named to post earlier this week.
* At TNR Rebecca Traister argues a lot of people had reasons to cover their eyes and ears at rape allegations aimed at Bill Cosby'.
And in non-political news:
* Hollywood icon Mike Nichols dies at 83.
As we break for lunch, here are the Allman Brothers with Duane on guitar performing "Dreams" back in 1969.
I guess we might as well get all of the week's unusually large batch of 2016 punditry out of the way before lunch, and before tonight's DACA announcement and the reaction to it blots out the sun and fills the sky with angry crows.
I've noticed a couple of new pieces about Martin O'Malley's plans. Neither improves on the profile of the Maryland governor written by Haley Edwards for the Washington Monthly last year, though Molly Ball at the Atlantic offers some observations on O'Malley's persistence in the face of very high odds and considerable media indifference, and Alex Seitz-Wald of MSNBC reports on his hiring of policy staff, an important step towards a presidential campaign.
Neither piece, however, mentions the most important new problem O'Malley must confront in establishing his "viability," and by that I don't mean Jim Webb's exploratory committee. No, it's the chatter in elite circles about O'Malley's alleged responsibility for the November 4 catastrophe that struck his designated successor, Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, in what was probably the biggest upset of the cycle.
There are multiple explanations for Brown's loss that don't directly involve the incumbent govenror: really bad Democratic turnout, a really bad Brown campaign, Brown's responsibility for a botched rollout of Maryland's Obamacare state insurance exchange, and even the "Bradley Effect" (the idea, thought to have been retired by Barack Obama, that voters ashamed of looking racist routinely over-report support to pollsters for African-American candidates). But as noted here on November 6, there's also plenty of talk about the so-called "rain tax" (see this excellent explanation from Brentin Mock at Grist), a stormwater abatement fee all homeowners in the state had to pay. TNR's Alec MacGillisexplained why it could be dangerous for Martin O'Malley, after conducting his own focus group at a Maryland polling place:
[E]veryone I spoke with cited it [the "rain tax"] as the crowning example of the nickel-and-diming taxing regime under O'Malley that also includes the $60-per-year "flush tax" to upgrade sewage treatment plants and higher taxes on alcohol, cigarettes, and gas. "The rain tax was the last straw," said Mike Eline, 64, who does pest control at the University of Maryland campus in Baltimore. "How many taxes can there possibly be?" "It seems any reason they can, they say, 'let's tax the people,'" said Daniel, a 63-year-old African-American warehouse worker. "What really upsets me is the rain tax. Rain is something natural that's just given to us. Nobody has to work for it. But they say, 'let's tax it.'"
Now this can all sound like real inside baseball to non-Marylanders, and particularly to the Iowa and New Hampshire Democratic activists who will likely be the real judges and jury for O'Malley's presidential ambitions. But among the national party elites and media types who play an important role in the "invisible primary," it's an issue O'Malley will have to deal with again and again unless he finds an efficient way to spike it, at a time when he needs good press and a lot of it. It will be interesting to see how he handles it.
Two days after Jennifer Rubin told us Scott Walker probably will wait for a decade or two to run for president, Politico's James Hohmann has the lowdown on the Wisconsin governor's very specific 2016 plans, much of them gleaned from Walker himself. Seems he's going to staff up and take some high-profile right-wing positions before launching or folding next summer. It all sounds amazingly calculated, even for a cyborg-like pol:
"We went from, when I was county executive, Walker 1.0, to governor, Walker 2.0," the governor said. "If this was even ever realistic, we'd have to build a 3.0 right off the bat. You want to keep widening the circle."
Well, someone in Walker's circle—perhaps social scientists working from a special Koch Brothers laboratory/dungeon in Wichita or something—have concluded Walker 3.0 needs a little spike in that vanilla persona with respect to "the base" that would determine his fate in places like Iowa. So:
The 47-year-old Republican intends to use an upcoming legislative session in Wisconsin to push an ambitious agenda that could, in combination with his triumphs over Big Labor, bolster his standing with Republican primary voters: Repealing unpopular Common Core standards, requiring drug tests for welfare beneficiaries and cutting property taxes.
Check-a-box, check-a-box, check-a-box. Sounds to me like a sudden, distant sound of indictments rolling off a prosecutor's printer might be the only obstacle to the remorseless progress of Walker 3.0 towards its failsafe point.
So Jim Webb wasn't kidding, it seems. He's gone from telling the occasional journalist he's thinking about running for president in 2016 to forming an exploratory committee, the first serious candidate in either party, I believe, to do so. Those Democrats who have been fretting that Hillary Clinton would float to the nomination with no opposition at all must be relieved.
But I gotta say, Webb's statement on why he is thinking about running—his rationale for candidacy—begins with a note that is bound to sound like nails on a chalkboard (if that's not too archaic a metaphor!) to a potential progressive constituency unhappy with Barack Obama and afraid Hillary Clinton will continue his "centrist" ways:
I'd like to take a few minutes of your time to ask you to consider the most important question facing America today: Is it possible that our next President could actually lay out a vision for the country, and create an environment where leaders from both parties and from all philosophies would feel compelled to work together for the good of the country, despite all of the money and political pressure that now demands they disagree?
I really, really don't think the average potential primary supporter of Webb against Clinton is going to kick out the jams for a candidate who thinks the real problem in Washington is insufficient bipartisanship. Been there, done that, with Obama, and even Obama struggles to pay lip service to the idea, particularly now on the eve of an intensely partisan fight over immigration policy.
There's a way to articulate what I've in the past called "grassroots bipartisanship" that might work for a candidate like Webb: expressing a gritty determination to create a new progressive coalition that will impose its will on both parties in Washington. But I don't think that's what Webb is doing at this point. The idea that bipartisan governance would be easy with the right leadership—a term that suffuses his statement with an unmistakably martial air—comports with his notorious "antipolitics" posture which constantly projects a contempt for the limitations of, well, everybody else. It's also consistent with his on-again, off-again engagement with politics.
Do progressives want to go to war with the insanely advantaged Hillary Clinton and then with an insanely well-funded GOP nominee under the banner of what Rob Garver calls "Webb's Cincinnatus act"? I don't know. But I'll take Webb's proto-candidacy more seriously when I start seeing some sort of activity in an early caucus or primary state.
There's little question what the president's burden of persuasion will be tonight. Greg Sargent sums it up:
[T]here is little question that Democrats face a major challenge in persuading the public to support what Obama is set to announce tomorrow. The NBC poll tells the story nicely: While only 38 percent support executive action, it also finds that 57 percent support a path to citizenship for all undocumented immigrants, which suggests that even people who agree with Democrats on what needs to be done on immigration may have a tough time accepting unilateral action on the issue.
Greg goes on to point out that support for a "path to citizenship" actually balloons into the 70s when the conditions for achieving citizenship in, say, the Senate-passed legislation are explained, and similar conditions, of course, are attached to the much more limited protections Obama will be offering certain categories of the undocumented in the new initiative. That's why Democrats will be at pains to go into details on the initiative, and compare it to an intolerable status quo that congressional Republicans (in part because of their internal divisions) cannot and will not deal with. And that's why the GOP will be equally at pains to focus on the process by which this decision was made rather than its substance.
Earlier this week I suggested opponents of the executive action will in effect be treating it as an equivalent to FDR's "court-packing" initiative of 1937, generally viewed as his one major political error (though it did indirectly achieve its purpose as the Supreme Court quietly shifted from its determination to take down the New Deal). It will be interesting to see if the explicit comparison is made in the days ahead. But even if it's not, the dynamic of focusing on process rather than substance (with the reverse for Obama and his allies) is almost certain to persist. After all, each side's core constituency on this issue is pre-committed to support for or opposition to the initiative; Latino immigration advocates obviously expect Obama to test the limits of his executive authority and conservative neo-nativists would oppose "amnesty" even if they couldn't find a single lawyer to challenge the president's constitutional and statutory prerogatives. To the extent that public opinion matters here, the real battle will be over those people who basically favor immigration reform but really wish Congress would deal with it.
Really low turnout in the midterms obviously had an effect on the outcome. But in California, the record low turnout has an interesting byproduct for better or for worse, as KQED's John Myers explained last week (h/t David Nir of Daily Kos Elections):
Article II of the California Constitution says that the number of valid voter signatures to qualify an initiative is based on the total votes cast in the most recent race for governor. For initiatives that seek to amend the state constitution, the signatures must equal at least 8 percent of the gubernatorial vote; for those that would create new statutes (state law), it's 5 percent of the gubernatorial vote.
For the 2012 and 2014 elections, that threshold was set in the 2010 contest between Gov. Jerry Brown and GOP challenger Meg Whitman. For 2016 and 2018, the threshold will be set by what happened on Nov. 4.
And as we're now seeing, that total vote was low. Historically low.
As of now, state elections officials have reported that just shy of 6.5 million votes were cast in the duel between Brown and Republican Neel Kashkari.
That means that backers of any potential 2016 or 2018 ballot measures to write state law could qualify their initiative for the ballot with as few as 325,000 valid signatures. Compare that with the existing threshold for a statutory initiative, which is 504,760….
[F]or a coming election cycle where everyone already expects a torrent of ballot initiatives, from legal pot to tax hikes and beyond, these super-low thresholds could make it a lot easier to get an issue in front of voters.
There's also a recently enacted provision in state law that requires legislative hearings on any proposed initiative that has collected 25% of the petition signatures needed for ballot certification (the idea being to give the legislature an opportunity to act on whatever's bugging the initiative supporters).
At current rates, that means that anyone who can get about 82,000 signatures will force the Legislature to engage on the issue.
I'm beginning to understand why Jerry Brown held back many millions of dollars in surplus campaign contributions for use in future ballot initiative fights instead of helping out fellow Democrats this year.
When the president announces his executive action on immigration tonight at 8:00 PM EST, the three big broadcasting networks will not cover it. But it will be covered by the outlets most concerned with the issue, per Politico's Dylan Byers:
There is a bright spot for the administration though. Their target audience, Hispanics, will likely be tuning in. The two Hispanic-focused networks, Univision and Telemundo, will broadcast the speech live. Univision is even delaying the Latin Grammys broadcast for the speech. CNN, MSNBC and Fox News will also air the speech live.
So the media sources most likely to praise the action (though you have to wonder if the expanded DACA was a bit over-sold, and there will be some disappointment over its scope) and most likely to freak out over it will be covering it live.
If, God forbid, I were in TV-land covering this event, I'd book for immediate comment one of those defeated Democratic senators at whose request this action was delayed from its initial late summer rollout. It would be interesting to ask them if the deportations carried out during the autumn were worth it.
Duane Allman was born on this day in 1946. He died at the age of 24 in 1971 in a motorcycle accident in Macon, Georgia. He was best known as a founder of the Allman Brothers Band, but was equally influential as a session guitarist. Here's Duane on the recording of Wilson Pickett's cover of "Hey Jude," of all things, that Eric Clapton called his favorite guitar solo ever , leading to Duane's famous guest gig with Derek & the Dominoes).
Looks like we're gearing down to a really heavy end-of-the-week here in politics-land. Get ready for some unusual levels of conservative hysteria right on into Thanksgiving. Maybe lay in some ABBA music and comfort food for counterpoint, or roast that turkey early and go ahead and put up the tree.
Here are some remains of this day:
* Politico has a write-up of the actual expanded DACA declaration they expect Obama to make tomorrow. No huge surprises; he's "going big," but staying on consistent legal ground.
* Latest craziness in the Uber/Buzzfeed battle.
* Tomasky predicts chain reaction from horrific synagogue murders in Jerusalem may produce next intifada.
* At Ten Miles Square, Martin Longman was prophetic in noting the powerful backlash against NSA reform bill from "the bad guys."
* At College Guide, Daniel Luzer discusses trends in "study abroad:" for Americans, still unusual, and still mostly limited to wealthy.
And in nonpolitical news:
* 50% of country covered in snow—in mid-November.
That's it for Wednesday. Let's close with Badfinger performing "Suitcase." Really good song.
As the engines of the Right-Wing Noise Machine rev themselves up into a high-pitched, chattering whine in anticipation of the Great Tyrannical Amnesty Declaration of 2014, it becomes harder and harder to believe that Republicans are going to resist the temptation to shut down the federal government again. Some of them, of course, are already there. And a lot more are back to the "partial shutdown" position that Ted Cruz tried to sell during his "Defund Obamacare" runup to the 2013 shutdown: the fantasy that Republicans can get Obama blamed for a shutdown if they keep saying they want everything other than the contaminated areas of government to continue.
But by far the more dangerous rationalization was nicely summarized at the Prospect today by Paul Waldman: Republicans don't think voters will remember what happens now, because they didn't last time around.
Approval of the Republican party took a nose dive in the wake of the shutdown, and though it is still viewed negatively by most Americans, that didn't stop Republicans from having a great election day. Because as at least some within the GOP understand, you can create chaos and crisis, and large numbers of voters will conclude not that Republicans are bent on creating chaos and crisis but that "Washington" is broken, and the way to fix it is to elect the people who aren't in the president's party. That in this case that happened to be precisely the people who broke it escaped many voters. The fact that the electorate skewed so heavily Republican in an election with the lowest turnout since 1942 also helped them escape the consequences of their behavior.
There's a very fine line between realizing you've escaped the consequences of your behavior and concluding there are no consequences. And once you arrive at that conclusion, you're the alcoholic who has a drink or two, doesn't pass out, and decides to celebrate the drinking problem being gone by ordering up a whole bottle.
That seems to be Waldman's analysis, too:
[W]e may be seeing the front end of an evolution in their thinking, not just from "Shutting down the government would be bad for us" to "We could shut down the government and be just fine," but from there all the way to "Shutting down the government would be genius." Just you wait.
It's rather hard to miss the harsh new light being shown on one of America's long-time cultural icons, Bill Cosby, as credible rape allegations against him add up. But by far the most fascinating look at him in this new light is from Ta-Nehisi Coates, who writes an apology for failing to think and write enough about those allegations when he was focusing on Cosby in a big Atlantic piece back in 2008. Putting aside the rape allegations (as he did then), this could be Bill Cosby's big moment:
I spent parts of 2006 and 2007 following Bill Cosby around the country. He was then in the midst of giving a series of "call-outs" in which he upbraided the decline of morality in the black community. Our current organic black conservative moment largely springs from these efforts. It's worth distinguishing an "organic black conservative" from a black or white Republican moment. Black Republicans, with some exception, don't simply exist as people who believe in free markets and oppose abortion, but to assure white Republicans that racism no longer exists. Organic black conservatives (like Cosby, for instance) are traditionalists, but they hold no such illusions about America's past. They believe this country to be racist, perhaps irredeemably so, but assert nonetheless that individual effort can defeat trenchant racism. The organic black conservative vision is riding high at the moment. Thus even the NAACP cannot denounce the outriders of Ferguson without the requisite indictment of "black on black crime."
The author of this moment is Bill Cosby. In 2004, he gave his "Poundcake Speech," declaring black youth morally unworthy of their very heritage. Cosby followed the speech with a series of call-outs. I observed several of these call-outs. Again, unlike typical black Republicans, Cosby spoke directly to black people. He did not go on Fox News to complain about the threat of the New Black Panther Party. He did not pen columns insisting the black family was better off under slavery. He was not speaking as a man sent to assure a group that racism did not exist, but as a man who sincerely believed that black people, through the ethic of "twice as good," could overcome. That is the core of respectability politics. Its appeal is broad in both black and white America, and everywhere Cosby went he was greeted with rapturous applause.
Coates goes on to question himself for failing to pay attention to the evidence that Cosby's moralizing was deeply ironic. But that was part of the problem: nothing about Cosby squared with the horrific nightmare of a serial rapist—other than the testimony of an awful lot of women who kept being ignored.
Everything about this piece makes it worthwhile to read. You'd have to be familiar with contemporary American journalism and its insane levels of insecurity to understand how Ta-Nehisi Coates ever had trouble holding down a writing job.
Sarah Posner draws attention today to a manifesto on the 2016 presidential contest released by three Christian Right warhorses, Penny Nance, Joel Rosenberg, and Ralph Reed. Sarah thinks it significant that unconditional support for Israel (or really, for Benjamin Netanyahu) seems to be climbing up the priority ladder of these people. What caught my attention were the constant references to the need for experienced leaders, especially in foreign policy.
Either way, this ain't good news for Rand Paul's chances of getting a decent share of Christian Right support. He's only got four years in the Senate, and not a moment longer than that in demonstrating any sort of commitment to Israel. Even if aggressive pandering is treated as equivalent to experience, that's not much of a record.
Sarah's piece offers one insight on the GOP's Middle Eastern Policy debate that you sort of wish MSM types were forced to stare at until they show some comprehension:
When the candidates try to outdo each other with boasting of their "pro-Israel" credentials, it will likely trigger the inevitable can-the-Republicans-win-over-the-Jewish-vote debates. But those discussions will miss the real story. It won't be Jewish voters the candidates are trying to reach.

AUGUSTA COUNTY,Va. (WHSV) -- Two men are in jail after law enforcement said they broke into several churches and businesses in the area.
According to the Augusta County Sheriff's Office, Joel Deaton, 20, from Augusta County, and Troy Van Moos, 19, from Mount Sydney, were both arrested on Friday on several breaking and entering charges, among other offenses.
Officers said the men hit several churches in early August including Calvary United Methodist Church in Stuarts Draft, Kingdom Hall and the Staunton Alliance Church.
Businesses were also broken into including the Natural Chimneys Visitors Center, Ciro's Pizza in Mount Sydney and the Stuarts Draft Pool.
Joel Deaton also faces charges for breaking and entering Zion Lutheran Church.
According to law enforcement, both men took cash and electronics from those spots and most of the electronics were recovered.

- Who's a bad dog? May 14
A new video proves that dogs aren't humans' only best friends.
A young boy was playing outside his home in Bakersfield, California, when a neighbor's dog bit his leg and attacked his bike. The family cat, Tara, rushed outside and chased the dog away to protect the child. The boy's father, Roger Triantafilo, posted a video of the cat's heroic actions to YouTube this morning with the caption "Thankfully, my son is fine!"
The boy needed several stitches and is currently recovering from the attack, the boy's mother, Erika Triantafilo, told KERO-TV. She also said the dog is currently in observation regarding the attack, and Metro reports that the neighbor has voluntarily quarantined the dog. Check out the video below. --Meghan DeMaria

I've big ideas how to use this PBL for my Math class. However, I need some help finding specific Math content. The idea that was given during the Webinar for helping students realize millions, billions, etc. was an excellent idea. Any other ideas of how to make the topic specifically address Math?
Living in an isolated and high-poverty area of East Tennessee is a factor preventing most of my students from ever visiting the coast. This PBL will make the oil spill seem real. Working toward a solution will hopefully plant the seeds of future Mathematicians to solve/prevent future oil spills.
Using some of BP's cost figures, you could have your students figure out how much is being spent in terms of something they can realte to i.e. video games, school lunches. Ex: If British Petroleum has spent 3.5 billion dollars for cleanup efforts so far, how many video games could they have purchased for that amount?
Have students find out how many gallons in a barrel. Then take it further with gallons in the Gulf, how many barrels would that be, etc...
That is an awesome idea! At some point in the project, I want them to write their own word problems based on their research and/or my presentations...questions such as your suggestion will be perfect examples. Thank you!

Tuscany is one of the best known and most sought-after tourist destinations in the world. Thanks to its cultural heritage, its landscape and the variety of environments and ecosystems, is able to satisfy a wide range of needs and present multiple offerings: seaside, mountains, countryside, spas, cities of art.
Its mild climate, the characteristics of its natural environment as well as its centrality on the Tyrrhenian coast make San Vincenzo a place to spend your holidays all year round, not just during the summer. The coastal shoreline is composed of light very fine sand and extends for 12 km, fringed with the thick Mediterranean brush vegetation which stretches right down to the beach.
The town centre has a pleasure boat mooring harbour which has recently been enlarged. It is a perfect stopping place for those who enjoy pleasure boating and have been exploring the Tuscan archipelago.
As well as the seaside, San Vincenzo also offers nature trails both inside the park of Rimigliano and in the picturesque hill hamlet of San Carlo, which was once a mining village and today is highly appreciated for its setting in the scenic landscape of the Val di Cornia hills.

Despite what you might guess, indie soulsongstress Syleena Johnson isn't the woman referred to in the title of her latest album leak; instead, this laid-back, Unik-produced cut finds the Synachie crooner hooking up with veteran R&B songstress Tweet to scold Angry Girl for carelessly breaking a mans heart—thereby hampering his ability to trust the entire female gender.

TUESDAY, May 29 (HealthDay News) -- Mice who have a loss-of-function mutation in KATNAL1, needed for the maturation of sperm, are infertile, which could have implications for treating male infertility and for the development of non-hormonal male contraceptives, according to a study published online May 24 in PLoS Genetics.
Lee B. Smith, from the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, and colleagues chemically mutagenized mice and identified a strain with male-specific infertility due to a mutation in the Katnal1 gene.
The researchers found that, from 15.5 days post-coitum, Katnal1 was expressed in testicular Sertoli cells, which support and protect the developing sperm. When the gene was defective, microtubule dynamics of Sertoli cells were altered and premature exfoliation of spermatids from the seminiferous epithelium was seen, resulting in premature release of immature sperm and male-specific infertility.
"The identification of KATNAL1 as an essential regulator of male fertility provides a significant novel entry point into advancing our understanding of how Sertoli cell microtubule dynamics promotes male fertility," Smith and colleagues conclude. "Such information will have resonance both for future treatment of male fertility and the development of non-hormonal male contraceptives."

State revenue down $2 million in October
CONCORD – State revenues were $2 million less than budget writers expected in October, due largely to business tax returns.
In figures released by the Department of Administrative Services Monday, the state collected $105.1 million in revenue for October and $540.9 million for the first third of the 2014 fiscal year, or $25 million more than anticipated.
Business taxes produced $24.1 million, down $4.4 million from estimates for the month. Administrative Services Commissioner Linda Hodgdon said October business tax collections are so small it is difficult to see any trend.
For the 2014 fiscal year, business taxes total $153 million, $6 million more than budget writers' estimates.
For October rooms and meals, tobacco, and interest and dividends taxes were slightly below projections as were securities and lottery revenues.
Liquor revenue was more than $1 million above estimates, at $12 million. Other levies stronger than projected for October were insurance, communications, real estate transfer and utility taxes.
For the fiscal year to date, the state has collected $26 million more revenue than a year email@example.com

- Studio: 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment
- Release Date: Nov 2, 2012
- Starring: Catherine Keener, Christopher Walken, Mark Ivanir, Philip Seymour Hoffman
- Summary: A world-renowned string quartet struggle to stay together in the face of illness, competing egos and insuppressible lust. (RKO Productions)
- Director: Yaron Zilberman
- Genre(s): Drama
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 20 out of 31
Mixed: 11 out of 31
Negative: 0 out of 31
Walken was largely typecast in quirky roles as a result of playing the title character's brother in "Annie Hall," so it's something of a delightful irony that 35 years later, Walken finds his most rewarding role leading a terrific ensemble in what amounts to one of the best Woody Allen movies that Allen wasn't involved in making.
How many surprises and peaks can Walken possibly have left, after so many movies and memorable roles? Well, there's this one.
The leads make sweet music in an affecting four-piece that, if not note perfect, plays well to their individual strengths. A marked improvement overall on this year's other Quartet.
A Late Quartet serves as an acting showcase, particularly for Walken and Hoffman, and makes for an interesting study in artistic ego.
The performances are worth a look, especially since Christopher Walken so rarely gets to play a sane person.
The sort of movie you should go see with someone you love. You should also hold their hand during the movie. And be thankful that that hand is there.
The trio (Hoffman/Keener/Walken) give top shelf performances as we've always come to expect from them in A Late Quartet. But it's just too bad that they're in service of Yaron Zilberman's film, which takes the unique focus of a string quartet in Manhattan, and puts it in the middle of a standard and unsatisfying soap opera, that spins off into one subplot too many.
Score distribution:
Positive: 8 out of 8
Mixed: 0 out of 8
Negative: 0 out of 8
Nov 13, 2012One of the best of the year, with possible Oscar nods for Walken Hoffman, Keener and Poots. The story was varied and fascinating and it nicely gave time to each character's struggle. Exciting shots of NYC, great music, and nice work by the cast to make us believe they were really playing.… Expand
Nov 11, 2012This is a terrific film. It is well-written and directed by one of the screenwriters (Zilberman). The acting is superb, especially by Seymour and Walken. It is a story of relationships, starting with individual needs and desires and strengths and weaknesses, but all held together when they are one in a string quartet. It demonstrates the individuality of four people who are then welded together to produce a great unit producing lovely music. The whole cannot function without the individuals, a microcosm of society in general. The story begins with the deterioration of Walken who is the glue that holds them all together, and then the unit falls further apart only to come together at the end in a great final scene. This film will not receive thenumber of viewers it should, which will be a great loss for those who do not see it, and a great film for those who do.… Expand
Jan 8, 2013As the film opens and the four members of the renown, Manhattan based Fugue string-quartet grace their humble audience and stage, they slowly bow
Mar 31, 2013What a wonderful surprise. The performances in this film are so good it beggars belief that no member of the cast garnered any recognition, anywhere. Indeed the film has somehow gone right under the radar. It may be Christopher Walken's best performance in an age; it's so refreshing to see him break at last from lunatic typecasting and bring to life a sensitive musician blanketed in grief and confronting darkness. Hoffman is amazing, along with the whole cast. There are so many richly written scenes in this film, played out by such superb actors, that you can't help be swept up in the turmoil of their relationships. A real achievement.… Collapse

Nov 13, 2014"A Late Quartet" 10 Scale Rating: 7.0 (Good) ...
The Good: Great cast that does not disappoint. Very powerful performances that make you forget that these are actors and causes you to start thinking that these are real people. Surprised that there was not more Oscar buzz for the cast, to be honest. I didn't have any interest in most f the subject matter, yet the film was able to keep my interest due to the depth of the characters.
The Bad: As expected, can be a little slow at times. Also can come across as a little pretentious.… Expand

There will be no steak for the winners this time and maybe less sizzle today at Georgia's G-Day game because some of the most intriguing storylines of the spring won't be on display due to injuries.
"You know what?" Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "We're just going to play ball for the love of the game and for the love of playing between the hedges for family and friends and the fans and TV."
Fans won't get a first glimpse of Malcolm Mitchell playing cornerback. Freshman tailback Keith Marshall won't see a single carry.
Both are out due to pulled hamstrings.
So why check out the Black team (which features the starting defense) and the Red team (which includes the starting offense) clash at 3 p.m. in a glorified scrimmage shown two hours later on CSS on tape delay?
'ÄúWe'Äôre expecting to put on a show of what this team is going to be for the season,'Äù inside linebacker Christian Robinson said. 'ÄúEverybody'Äôs expecting this team to be a top-rated defense and one of the top teams in the nation. … If you want to get a good look, get down close next to the team and see how well we'Äôve improved from last season, I think this is a good time to come watch.'Äù
After a player draft last year created some excitement, the coaches returned to picking sides.
Isaiah Crowell, who hasn't missed a practice this spring after battling injuries as a freshman, and Ken Malcome will be the featured tailbacks.
"Ken Malcome's had a great spring," offensive coordinator Mike Bobo said. "I see a really, really big improvement in that football player."
Richt said the reward of steak and lobster for the winning players and beanie weenies for the losers has been ditched this year — turns out some players preferred the beanie weenies anyway.
Richt wants it to be a festive day for all.
"I always talk about it being a celebration of Georgia football and that's what I want it to be," Richt said.
Said sophomore defensive end Ray Drew: "Any opportunity to go out there and put on a show for the fans and for the coaches is a good day."
Asked what he hoped to get out of the day, Bobo said half jokingly: "I hope nobody gets injured."
Here are five things to watch:
1. Unproven defensive backs:  With Bacarri Rambo, Sanders Commings and Branden Smith facing suspensions at the start of the season, lesser-known players will be under the gun. Today's another chance to show something to coaches.
Cornerback Damian Swann was named a most improved player on defense this spring. Sophomore safety Corey Moore will try to build off his nine-tackle, one-interception showing in last week's scrimmage.
Safety Connor Norman was picked as the spring outstanding walk-on from the defense and he could be called on for significant snaps in games.
"Connor has shown his value back there, knows where to be, knows how to make the adjustments we need," defensive coordinator Todd Grantham said.
Devin Bowman, who has worked behind Commings at boundary corner, said he's improved on getting his hands on players and being physical.
"I didn't get to play last year at all, so this is my first experience being in a big stadium with a whole lot of fans," the redshirt freshman said. "That's really exciting."
Senior safety Shawn Williams is sidelined today with a knee injury.
2. Big John, Kwame and defensive ends:  Georgia's 350-pound nose guards have been a handful for the centers and guards this spring. At least John Jenkins and Kwame Geathers will be on different teams today.
Jenkins said he understands the playbook better, which has allowed him to play "fast and dominant."
"It's my first G-Day, my first spring game," said Jenkins, named defensive co-MVP for the spring with star linebacker Jarvis Jones. "It's almost like it's my first game playing for Georgia. My heart is pounding."
Georgia's defensive line is formidable with ends Abry Jones, Cornelius Washington and backups Garrison Smith and Ray Drew.
"We've got a lot of veteran guys across the D-line," Washington said. "And we've got some young guys making some big plays, too. Mike (Thornton) has really been standing out to me in practice. Just the way he gets off and how physical he is. To me, we're stacked."
3. The development of the offensive line:  The starting five for now will line up on the Red team — left tackle Kenarious Gates, left guard Dallas Lee, center David Andrews, right guard Chris Burnette and right tackle Kolton Houston.
"We've got better as a unit and I feel like we're going to treat Saturday like a real game," Gates said.
Will backups like Austin Long, Watts Dantzler, Hunter Long and Mark Beard crack the rotation?
"We've got a lot of film to study and see who's getting closer to proving they can play for Georgia," Richt said.
G-Day counts as the final of 15 spring practices. Burnette and Lee could line up at center with the Black team line.
"We're going to approach it as a work day," offensive line coach Will Friend said.
4. Tight end tandem: Orson Charles and Aron White have exited. The time is now for Arthur Lynch and redshirt freshman Jay Rome.
"I'm excited to see Arthur Lynch and Jay Rome," Bobo said. "It's a big opportunity for them losing two guys that played the last three years basically exclusively."
Lynch said he's approaching G-Day as just another practice.
"I hopefully have been here long enough that I know what I'm doing," the redshirt junior said. "Jay's eager to get out there and prove some things."
5. The quarterbacks: Today will be the closest thing to a game this year for junior Hutson Mason because unless starter Aaron Murray gets injured, the plan is for Mason to redshirt.
What kind of spring has Mason had? Coaches named him co-offensive MVP with Murray.
If Mason does redshirt, the competition to back up Murray looks like it will be between redshirt freshman Christian LeMay and walk-on Parker Welch. Freshman Faton Bauta won't play due to a minor knee injury
It shouldn't be a long day for Murray. Bobo said he's likely to only go for a quarter or quarter and a half.

|Guard Juan Dixon returns to Washington Wizards
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 23 September 2008 11:30
Dixon played his first three NBA seasons with the Wizards, from 2002-03 to 2004-05. He has also been with Portland, Toronto and Detroit, averaging 8.9 points, 1.7 assists and 1.9 rebounds over six seasons.
``He's a proven NBA player. He's a tough, hard-nosed competitor,'' Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld said.
After beginning last season with the Raptors, Dixon was traded to the Pistons in February.
He was selected the Most Outstanding Player of the 2002 Final Four for helping Maryland win the national championship, then was picked in the first round of that year's NBA draft by the Wizards.
e team sees fit.''
The Wizards open training camp Saturday in Richmond, Va.

Fries Cabin Rental Photos and Description
2 Bedroom 1 And Half Bath, Mountain Ridge Views.
This little piece of serenity is located on a small wooded mountain top. Totally private and secluded. New carpet, fully furnished, no TV, but you can enjoy the beautiful mountain music from mt. Airy on the radio and go back in time. This is a simple cabin, just to come up relax and read on the deck and let the kids run and play. Back to basics. Small eat-in kitchen. Very cozy, romantic little place.

About owner/property manager
This cabin was purchased for a place to come and enjoy the mountain life and cool weather in summer time. It was perfect for a few years but my father has gotten older and sadly can not make the trip any longer. So my brother and I decided to rent the cabin to help with cost of taxes, insurance and maintenance. This cabin has lots of wonderful memories for us and we continue to stay when life permits us too. For our family it has always been a place to get away from electronics and just get back to the simple things of life. Walks, music, reading, what ever suits us at the time. Food always seemed to taste better up there on the balcony with the refreshing mountain air. We are always taking lots of deep breaths...
owner/property manager purchased this cabin in 2002
