Clarksville, TN – Cam Newton dazzled the National Football League in his rookie year, but did that make him the best quarterback in the NFL. There's so many ways to distinguish quarterbacks.
You can compare them by the passer rating (both the NFL's and ESPN's), by passing yards, by touchdowns, by fourth quarter comebacks, by wins or by Super Bowl championships or the lack thereof. «Read the rest of this article»

Titans to pick 20th in NFL Draft
Free Agency begins March 13th
Nashville, TN – When Mike Munchak was hired as head coach of the Tennessee Titans on February 7th, 2011, an uncertain landscape awaited him. The franchise had only recently parted ways with the only head coach in its Tennessee history, and team owner K.S. "Bud" Adams, Jr. had already made the decision to begin anew at the quarterback position.
But the foremost concern on the mind of team management, players and fans alike was whether or not there would even be a football season.
A year later, on the heels of a 9-7 season in which the Titans narrowly missed out on a playoff berth, the franchise is once again enjoying stability and a sense of hope. «Read the rest of this article»
Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Titans named Brett Maxie secondary coach.

He is a detailed guy who has had a lot of success as a coach and a player. We were aware that his contract had expired, and I talked to a number of people around the league about him and heard nothing but positive things, which is a rarity in this league." «Read the rest of this article»

Blackhawks fire assistant coach Mike Haviland
By Adam L. Jahns firstname.lastname@example.com May 8, 2012 11:58PM
United Center, Chicago Blackhawks Vs Columbus Blue Jackets 3rd-Period. Chicago Blackhawks Assistant Coach Mike Haviland yells across the ice to the referees. February 18Th 2011. | Photo by Scott Stewart~Sun-Times
Updated: June 11, 2012 9:20AM
It was Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville's decision to fire assistant Mike Haviland on Tuesday. That much is clear.
But there are more factors involved.
Quenneville said he could've kept the status quo and retained Haviland, but sources indicated that the Hawks' brass wanted a shakeup on the bench, especially because of the team's awful power play.
Haviland's firing comes after speculation that Quenneville might be willing to leave the Hawks because of friction with team brass.
"That's something I want to put to bed right from the outset," Quenneville said. "I love everything about our situation here in Chicago."
But that doesn't mean there won't be more discontent, especially if Quenneville doesn't get the final say in who replaces Haviland. If director of player development Barry Smith is thrust upon Quenneville again, more problems might arise.
With Quenneville's reputation and résumé, management's decision to send in Smith, a trusted assistant of senior adviser Scotty Bowman when he coached, to help the power play during the season was frowned upon by many around the league.
Sources also said Quenneville and Smith argued before the end of the regular season, prompting Smith to stop assisting before the playoffs. The front office, though, still wanted Smith around.
"I feel like it's going to be my decision," Quenneville said. "I haven't put [Smith] on my list. I don't have a list drawn up here at all right now. I don't even want to speculate on any list. That process, I want to keep confidential."
Quenneville said general manager Stan Bowman, who intimated a coaching change was needed during his end-of-the-year news conference, thought there was "some dysfunction" with the coaching staff.
Quenneville said he could've divvied up ice time better but agreed with Bowman and received the OK to make a change.
It won't be easy replacing Haviland, who's beloved by the players, being their go-to coach for issues. Sources said some players will be bothered by his firing. Haviland couldn't be reached for comment Tuesday night.
Quenneville made sure to say that his friendship with assistant Mike Kitchen had little to do with his decision but also adamantly defended him.
"These are facts," Quenneville said. "Last year, our power play was fourth in the league. Penalty-killing was 25th. Kitch had the power play. This year, I wanted to make a change going into the season. At the beginning of the year, Havy was going to have the power play, and Kitch had the penalty kill.
"We made the change, and after 15 games, our power play was 30th in the league. So we went back; we flip-flopped. Kitch got the power play back, and Havy had the penalty kill. The numbers weren't good, and that's where it's at. Then, all of a sudden, it's almost like our whole team problem was Kitch. And it's not about Kitch. It's about us as a team making our power play all better collectively. This is not blaming Havy, either. This is just the way it is, and that's part of the decision."

A few weeks ago, I got a call from a couple who were having a small wedding in Austin. They just wanted simple hourly wedding photography coverage, nothing fancy, and asked if I did that? Of course I do, and I love smaller weddings. They told me they were just finishing college, and wanted to have a small wedding at the French Legation. I asked how small, and they said 10 people. Sure thing!
I arrived an hour before the ceremony, and stayed for an hour after. Two hours, total.
Before the wedding, I got to meet their parents, who were so nice, and grab a ton of shots of the grounds, details, and their family. The ceremony was performed by a local judge. Overall it was like 5 minutes long. Everybody just stood around the couple, there was no need for chairs, it was so short. After the ceremony, we did a bunch of family portraits, and then some shots of the newlyweds for the mantle.
All in all it was a fantastic little wedding in Austin. Here are some of my favorite shots. Overall they got more than 300 pics in those 2-hours. If you are having a small wedding in Austin, and need hourly wedding photography, give me a call. I'd love to talk with you.

Fashion frolics to La Jolla for the film festival
La Jolla Fashion Film Festival founder and director Fred Sweet celebrated his fourth year with the world's largest gathering of fashion filmmakers. He reviewed over 11,000 submissions and narrowed it down to 51 for screening, awarding 12 International Fashion Film Awards this weekend.
Micah Kahil Queja, San Diego model and actor attends the festival for his third year, awaiting the announcement of each IFFA winner. Intrigued by the relatively young world of fashion films, he looks forward to the new opportunities for models on the big screen.
The International Fashion Film Award for Best Makeup winner Aviv Kosloff used an uncommon central focus with her makeup brushes. Mainly concentrating on the brushes sensual quality, the art of fashion makeup came on strong.
Every year a keynote speaker is handpicked to shed light on the evolving world of fashion film. This year's choice was Adam Leipzig an American film and theater producer ("Dead Poets Society," "Honey I Shrunk the Kids," "March of the Penguins") who brought his business essentials in two concise statements: know your audience and what they want.
Southern California is known for their flair in fashion and photographer Lisa Ormsby understands it well as one of the nominees for the San Diego A-List Best Photographer. Ormsby's considering trying her hand at filmmaking after countless shoots with the fashion elite of San Diego finding her spreads in several publications including Fashion Couture Magazine.
One of the top contender for the 2013 race was French film "Impossible Shoes." Art director Amaya Ducru Clouthier, director of photography Sam Fisher, and director Melodie Roulaud all travelled to the states for the festival. The luxurious beach town of La Jolla attracts eager filmmakers to journey across the globe.
Friends Diana Cavagnaro, owner of Designer Millinery, and Pamela Pogue, owner of Juelerie, walk both sides of the LJFFF red carpet. They first snap photographs and then represent their chic fashion and jewelry lines.
Another success festival for Sweet ending with Free People's film "Roshambo" winning Best Actress, Director and Picture. Travelling back to their various countries, the fashion filmmakers are already stirring up a whole fresh batch of ideas to begin their next adventure.

The celebration continued with a party on the beach including live music by singer Chris Blizzard.
Romantic touches were found all over the resort including special dinning selections at the restaurants.

Batting first in the second Twenty20 International (T20I), England batsmen managed a paltry 130 for the loss of nine wickets in their quota of 20 overs. Australia's young paceman, Josh Hazlewood bagged four crucial wickets, as Mitchell Starc also picked a couple, marking a successful return to international cricket.
After losing the first T20I against the hosts, England captain, Stuart Broad won the toss and elected to bat first in the second T20I.
Australia surprised many by opening their bowling with Brad Hodge. The veteran batsman conceded 10 in his first over, and didn't bowl for the second time in the match. But after the first over, the English batsmen found life very difficult against Australia's regular bowlers.
The opening pair of Alex Hales and Michael Lumb added 24 for the first wicket before Josh Hazlewood got the better of Lumb, and Hales soon after. Mitchell Starc, making a comeback after a long time, bagged the crucial wicket of Luke Wright before the latter could disturb the scorers.
England kept losing wickets almost every alternate over, and couldn't build a platform for their lower middle order to launch from. England's in-form man, Eoin Morgan lost his wicket cheaply for just six runs, as he was run out by Hodge.
Jos Buttler seemed like gearing up for a nice little cameo before he too departed for just 22 off 28 balls.
Broad and Tim Bresnan provided some much needed resistance [a partnership of 34] in the end to push the total to something respectable, and give themselves something to bowl at.
Almost all the Australian bowlers stuck to the plan and didn't let any of the England batsmen cause any significant damage.
Brief scores:
England 130 for 9 in 20 overs (Michael Lumb 18, Jos Buttler 22, Stuart Broad 18; Josh Hazlewood 4 for 30, James Murihead 1 for 17) vs Australia.

One of the most memorable looks in this vein was the tiered peekaboo gown that the statuesque Frida Gustavsson flaunted down Prabal Gurungs spring runway. When I arrive at an early-morning visit to Gurungs studio, an aerie high above the grit of Manhattans Garment Center, I can picture it as the kind of place one of my 30s heroines might inhabitdazzlingly light filled, with vases of fresh-cut flowers covering every chrome and glass surface. Yet the designer tells me that he hasnt been holed up watching black-and-white movies on a Netflix instant loop. Instead, his inspiration came very much from the present day, especially hearing about womens issues and rights at the hands of certain men. Its about freedom. Thats all I kept on thinking about. That translated into silhouettes that fall slightly away from the body. And you saw a lot of ruffles and flounces: Its the idea of flight. Like youre about to embark on your own journey.
Wait, did this design darling just equate frills with freedom? Unabashed ruffles tend to put me in mind of the Easter dresses I was forced to don as a child (cue the full-body shudder). But rather than evoking a Madame Alexander dollor, worse, a layer cakethese wide, unfussy flounces felt utterly refined. To Gurung, they evoke the opposite of girlish silliness: They are authoritative, even dignified.
I strongly believe that its the intelligence of the girl that matters, Gurung says. Some of my customers are big-time lawyers who wear pencil skirts or jackets with a little bit of flounce. Its no longer a mandatory, You have to wear a pantsuit. A prime example is our first lady. She has great style, but you cant deny the fact that she is a woman of substance.
The flounced look isnt just for the corporate set, however. Though the East Villagedwelling Gurung laments that hes surrounded by St. Marks Place punks, he recently made an expedition to visit friends in Brooklyn and was startled by what he found there. The coolest girls in Brooklyn are not dressed in torn jean shorts with pockets hanging out, he marvels. Theyre actually dressing up. Theyre really making an effort. And that was interesting to me.
But dressing up doesnt mean committing head-on to the retro look; theres a certain cool factor involved. While ruffles are the ultimate feminine signifier (remember the derision Jerry faced for his puffy, pirate-style shirt on Seinfeld?), the key to making them look of the moment is tempering the motif with plenty of restraint. Tait tells me that rather than show allover ruffles, which he derides as the bullfighter look, he opted for a straight-up-and-down silhouette with a slight flounce at the bottom, so when youre moving, you kind of have a kick, but not in an overly girly way. For example, his silk schoolgirl skirts were constructed with vertical stretch as opposed to the industry-standard horizontal, eliminating bulk and giving the pieces a lean drape. He also manufactured some of the pieces in an activewear factory, which lent his designs a sporty sheen. To hear Tait tell it, he is designing for a new breed of woman. Id be the first to admit that maybe my perspective of what is femininity or what makes a woman look elegant is not necessarily the typical, or commercial, idea of what is feminine or sexy or interesting. Its not necessarily going through the obvious routes of a bra cup built into a dress, or a corset, or a slit up the thigh. Its a lot more complex than that nowadays.
The drama inherent in this style of dressing comes not from what it reveals but from its mystery, which allows the wearer to convey a certain reserved authority. I allow myself a thought experiment. Would Hillary Clinton have seemed any less in command of the State Department if shed switched out her pantsuits for a soft Cé dress? Could Yahoo!s Marissa Mayer still captivate a boardroom in a flounced Gucci blouse? (Look at French politician Ségolène Royal, who sports this look to perfection.) If these clothes could talk, theyd be sending the message Im comfortable enough in my femininity to flaunt it, rather than thinking it makes me look weak.
Now that I understand how this look befits the strong women who wear it, Im inclined to reconsider my earlier stance on the matter. Maybe theres a power lurking in these clothes that I could be harnessing. After all, the question is one of choice: You can choose to free yourself from the hegemony of the conventionally sexy, and you can choose to assert your power in a quieter way. Ultimately, reflects Tait, I think its about integrating something a little bit more outrageous, like all the ruffles, and then something that relates to you on more of a day-to-day basis, and is a bit more honest, what makes you feel comfortablewhat youd be happy going to the grocery store in. I dont know how I feel about debuting this look at Trader Joes, but the next time Im stranded at the airportperhaps wearing one of Tiscis sweeping gownsI doubt Ill have so much trouble getting a ride.

Q. We have a spare bedroom that is home to a college-age young man who isn't home much, and now doubles as our guest room. I'd like to decorate it so that it works for both. Any ideas?
Don't be too sure that your college boy won't move back in when school is finished. It seems to be a trend. But there is plenty of scope for designing a wonderfully welcoming bedroom that will receive accolades from your son and guests.
One timeless combination that I'd suggest is stripes and plaids. Both these patterns take on very different moods depending on their color mix. This bedroom is sophisticated and comfortable with its smoky gray tones and soft white bedding. The striated wallpaper adds texture and focus to the wall behind the bed. There are many wallpaper patterns that incorporate stripes. Variable widths in multiple colors would be young and fun for a child's room; fat stripes are modern and dramatic.
Although the walls are on the dark side, the maple hardwood floor and light round bedside tables are fresh and modern, and keep the room from feeling too heavy. The simple pattern of stripes and squares repeats in the bed pillows and blanket.
Using a basic grounding palette on the walls gives you the freedom to experiment with your accessories – it's easy to adjust the ambience with a shot of color in the blanket and pillows, picture frames and carpet. Personal collections and memorabilia should be kept to a minimum and can be stored away until your son returns. Leave space on the night stands and in the closet for guests to unpack their gear. It is a thoughtful touch to place an item or two in your guest room that connects directly to the visitor. A framed picture of you all together, a favorite bouquet of flowers or bath soap, or a bedtime snack will let your company know that they are welcome.
Mosaic tile
Q. I read your column on mosaic tile and want to tile a bathroom countertop, which is a horrible shade of orange Formica. Will this work?
Yes, this is a great solution for transforming your countertop. The key is preparation. Formica and laminates are solid, slippery surfaces that won't hold on to paint or tile glue. Wash the counter with a strong detergent such as TSP to dull the surface, and a bit of sanding wouldn't hurt either. Then apply a high-adhesion primer that is designed to cover slippery surfaces, which include high-gloss paint, oil paint and laminates. Let dry overnight, and then you are ready to apply your mosaic design. Remember to seal the grout.

I think it is important that the YW leaders include any of the mothers that are also working on Personal Progress any time they are doing something that regards Personal Progress and passing something off. The YW leaders in my Ward don't do anything for Personal Progress and when they found out I was doing it too acted as if I was in the wrong. Have Personal Progress Nights and Invite the Mom's to them and make sure they feel welcome and are able to participate.

Submitted by Zoanne (not verified) on
I am a new YW Pres with very little YW experience. I heard from a friend that they had GREAT success with visiting every YW individually and it really gave a great boost to their PP. In our YW, the Laurels are losing interest. What we have planned is this: The member of presidency over each group, plus the advisor, is going to visit each YW individually, explain the reason for PP, and encourage her. Then the mother also gets a PP booklet, the encouragement to do it along with her daughter, a letter showing the progress of her daughter, and a card outlining "10 Easy Ways to Help Your Daughter With Personal Progress". As a Presidency and Advisors, we are encouraged to do it as well and we are going to let the girls record our progress in class. We are also going to have a fair number of Activity Nights where we split the girls by age, and each age group will have activities more specific to their interests---so we don't "lose" the Laurels with activities that are "beneath" them, or the Beehives to activities that are "above" them.

New Age Health Spa
7491 State Rt. 55 (Muttin Hill Rd.) Send to Phone
Neversink, NY 12765
View Website
* Click here for rating key
New Age Health Spa Hotel Review: This is the kind of resort wholly dedicated to your health and well-being from the inside out. Guests are kept busy with everything from meditation at the crack of dawn to intensive yoga and tai chi throughout the day. Optional activities include trail hikes, acupuncture workshops and participation in an ancient Native-American cleansing ritual called the Sweat Lodge. The property is located on 280 acres in the Catskill Forest Preserve. It includes eight miles of hiking trails and the Unami Lodge, which opened in late 2002. Rooms are intentionally sparse. There are no televisions or telephones, all the better for gazing inward at the soul. A 50-foot Alpine Tower helps people overcome mental barriers through physical exertion. But be careful about working up an appetite. Three meals a day come largely from the on-site greenhouses and garden and are fixed to a total of approximately 1,500 calories. For the more ambitious, there is a five-day juice fast, supplemented by colonic therapy. If this sounds too hard-core, you can always soften the experience with a pampering spa treatment.

Maurice Sendak Gets a Google Doodle for His 85th Birthday
Google has created an animated Google Doodle celebrating Maurice Sendak's 85th Birthday. The literary world mourned Sendak's passing last May.
You can watch the full animation at this YouTube link. Here's more from Slate:
It begins, of course, with Max sailing to the land of Where the Wild Things Are, but soon also ventures to the surreal cityscape of In the Night Kitchen and ends, appropriately, with the birthday party from Sendak's 2011 book Bumble-Ardy. Happy birthday, Mr. Sendak.

(CNN) -- Before Christianity and Islam became the dominant religions of the island of Borneo, Animist beliefs dictated that when a person died, their spirit rose to the peak of Mount Kinabalu.
At 4,095 meters above sea level, it's one of the highest mountains in Southeast Asia.
Today, UNESCO-listed Mount Kinabalu National Park is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the state of Sabah, in Malaysian Borneo, with visitors forced to book two to three months in advance to secure one of 196 daily allocated hiking permits.
Though Sabah is developing at pace, villagers living at the foothills of Mount Kinabalu continue to perform Animist rituals to appease spirits residing at the cloud-ringed peak so no harm comes to those who scale it.

The above images were taken on the rock-strewn 8.7-kilometer trail to the summit with Evan Conrad, a guide with Amazing Borneo Tours who first climbed Mount Kinabalu 20 years ago.
"I've climbed the mountains maybe 100 times," Conrad said.
"But I never get bored of it. Every time I see something new that excites me, and the view at sunrise is never, ever the same."
More information is available from the Mount Kinabalu Official Climb & Booking Information Centre, which says March to August are the best months to visit as it's the dry season.
There are multiple options for those wanting to hit the summit, ranging from from one-day to two-night climbs.
The pros recommend beginners do the three-day, two-night option. It allows them to acclimatize to the altitude. Only the super fit should try to get to the summit in a day.
Guides and permits are required by law.

Reina Hasting
Hi, my name is Reina Hasting. I am a happy wife and mother and I LOVE to teach ZUMBA! Why? Because I LOVE MUSIC! I LOVE TO DANCE! and I LOVE TO HAVE FUN, so of course I LOVE ZUMBA! The best part about zumba is that you don't even realize how much you are moving or how many calories you are burning until the end of class when you are all SWEATY! I LOVE IT!! I came across Zumba when I was a Cheerleading Coach. One day I had a zumba instructor come in and introduce Zumba to me & my cheerleaders. As soon as I heard the music, all my childhood memories from going to Latin dances with my parents and performing Latin folkloric dances came rushing back to me!! It was absolutely rejuvinating and I instantly knew I wanted to become a certified zumba instructor. I have never stopped zumba since. I instruct zumba noon classes classes and have a 5:30pm Zumba GOLD Class at SHC. I hope to be instructing zumba as long as I a can. I am available for Zumba Parties/Fundraisers. You can contact me through my cell phone, email or Facebook. You can also like my Facebook page to keep up on my current events too! Come try my class, I guarantee you will have a BLAST! I look forward to meeting you!:)

A parenting perspective on the latest headlines

Kids Autism Diagnosis Faces Changes, Raises Questions
Proposed changes to its definition could leave many high-functioning autistic children behind. How might this affect southeast Michigan families?
By May 2013, the definition of autism might be changed, according to a New York Times report – which would re-diagnose thousands and threaten the services many high-functioning autistic kids in metro Detroit and Ann Arbor currently receive.
The proposed criteria revision would lump the less severe, highest-functioning forms of autism – such as Asperger's syndrome – into a single diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder or ASD.
The revisions to the Diagnostic and Statistic Manual – the guide used by doctors to diagnose mental health disorders, updated by the American Psychiatric Association – wouldn't be final until later this year, when a final draft of the DSM-V is done, according to WebMD.
So how might the changes affect the autistic community? Is it something to be worried about? Here is a closer look.
Current standards for diagnosis
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one in 100 children in the United States are diagnosed with ASDs, which come in different forms based on severity. Currently, if a person displays six out of 12 behaviors on a list of standards, they qualify for autism diagnosis.
What are the changes?
Now, pundits selected by the APA to write the fifth edition of the DSM are looking to narrow what constitutes as autism. Three of the less severe forms of autism – Asperger's syndrome, "pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified" (PDD-NOS) and childhood disintegrative disorder – would be grouped in with ASD, WebMD notes.
Instead of displaying six out of 12 behaviors, "the person would have to exhibit three deficits in social interaction and communication and at least two repetitive behaviors, a much narrower menu," wrote the Times.
Researcher Fred R. Volkmar, MD, director of the Child Study Center at the Yale School of Medicine, analyzed the new definition to see what its impact would be on diagnosis and presented his findings on Jan. 19, the Times article said.
Volkmar, who resigned from the APA's committee at an earlier time, found that approximately 65 percent of people with high-functioning forms of autism would no longer meet the definition, a CBS report noted. (The details of Volkmar's research are also at WebMD.)
How this affects Michigan kids with autism
The pending change and Volkmar's preliminary findings have raised concerns about the services autistic children currently diagnosed with Asperger's or PDD-NOS will have if the definition change becomes official.
However, Dr. Colleen Allen, director of the Autism Alliance of Michigan and the director for the Henry Ford Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities, said though there's been a lot of uproar, "It's much too early for families to be getting too worried about, because nothing is definitive yet."
For autistic individuals living in states where insurance covers autism-related services, the definition change would mean their services are no longer covered, Allen says. But in Michigan, autism-related needs are currently not covered by insurance. So, she adds, it "doesn't affect anybody at this point in time."
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder is still pushing for autism-related services to be covered under insurance. If the proposed bills are approved and the definition is changed, Michigan's autistic community would then face the same challenges with insurance coverage as other states, Allen says.
But the definition change wouldn't affect educational criteria, Allen says – meaning in-school therapies will remain the same because they don't necessarily follow the DSM-IV except as a guide.
"In some sense, (the definition change is) going to make it easier to diagnose," she says, "but it's not going to be easier to diagnose those who don't fit classic (autism)."
The final draft of DSM-V is slated to be finished by the end of 2012. The DSM-V would then be official in May 2013.
I hope those families in Detroit and A2 have enough clout to do something about these changes. Like it or not, this change is about money, pure and simple. Communities further north in Michigan have already been dealing with this issue, as services have been denied, cut and reduced for kids with Aspergers, by stretching the interpretation of criteria, intimidating parents and denying that Aspergers exists. I had the SpEd director in one district tell me that to qualify as having autistic behaviors, my son would have to be flapping his hands so badly he couldn't read! The evaluations are only looking at the overt behaviors, not the quieter, but still measurable differences in learning behaviors.
Sadly, LRE (lease restrictive environment) has been used as an excuse to deny unobtrusive study aids as an "unfair advantage" over peers. The original concern was to give kids with challenges the best workable access to the same level of education as their peers and to prevent social stigma as a side benefit. However, when a kid is so challenged in sensory areas that inclusion is not workable or when their unusual traits are held up to their peers as examples of "poor choices," neither advantage is satisfied.
In some situations, kids with Aspergers can excel in academics. In other situations, the social and sensory challenges can make going to school a nightmare for them, more so because they are perceived as "normal" kids who merely choose to "act weird" or be "noncompliant."
To those southern Michigan parents facing the new changes, I can only quote Alice Cooper, "welcome to my nightmare."

American politicians are expected to talk about their hardships and feelings. 'Twas not always thus.

A Denver snooze, a Jersey storm and a Benghazi cover-up
There's nothing special about the Buckeye State — until election time.
The timing of mother nature's wrath looks set to assist Obama.
It's a fool's game to guess whose momentum is greater. But Romney is peaking at just the right moment.
I was standing next to the smashed window of the patisserie of our romantic rendezvous, looking at a tray of pastry covered with powdered glass.
In a key debate, both candidates did their job.
The debate was about the economy — a subject that rarely favours an incumbent.
If you elect the wrong leaders, you pay by enduring them. Try not to elect them twice.
Acts or remarks that wouldn't raise an eyebrow in public can scandalize if glimpsed in private.
Canadians are peering through the portals of their stout solid home, transfixed and astonished by the fall of the United States.
Americans spend a lot of energy arguing about the role of the individual versus the role of the state. But we still spend a lot of our time living and working somewhere between the extremes.
Americans don't want ecstatic evocations of dreamlike tomorrows. They want a tolerably functioning today.
Neither party has a track record to suggest it is willing to address the country's serious economic issues, and neither is willing to work co-operatively in a political environment that is entrenched along partisan and ideological lines.
No one, conservative or liberal, American or not, can be happy with the vile tone of the 2012 presidential election campaign.
Last night was Obama's 39th fundraiser in New York City. He has had 52 fundraisers in Washington and 20 in Los Angeles. Yet he still trails Mitt Romney's cash horde.
One U.S. paper accused the candidates of 'spewing a toxic cloud of negativity' as both Romney and Obama explored new depths in ugly rhetoric
In choosing Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate, Mitt Romney gives voters a clear choice between two competing economic philosophies
The wreckage of Obama's first term derives from his belief in Big Government.

Q: A techie friend suggested that iPhone apps were safer than Android apps because Apple is so controlling of who can offer apps to iPhone users. Is this true? - Margaret
A: It's estimated that 50 billion apps per year will downloaded by 2012 to more than 160 million smartphones, which is attractive to both commercial firms and malicious software developers.
The explosion of mobile applications is happening so fast that issues of safety and security seem to be taking a back seat.
A big contributor to this dearth of focus on security is confusion and lack of understanding of just what exposure a mobile app can be to private information.
Your smartphone has a lot of very valuable data to marketers and those with malicious intent; location, call history, text messages, e-mail, contacts, browsing history, your phone number as well as your photos and what you have downloaded.
Once an application is loaded on your smartphone, it can do whatever the programmer has instructed it to do, with or without your ongoing permission.
With these two platforms (Google's Android and Apple's IOS), there are some significant differences in how apps are distributed and what users are told when they install the apps.
Google's Android platform is a more open system for app developers, so users don't have to download all their apps from the Android Marketplace (iPhone users must download apps from Apple's App store unless they circumvent the security; a.k.a. jailbreak the phone).
The Android's openness can be a benefit and a drawback depending upon how conscientious the user is when it comes to downloading apps.
The benefit in openness is that over time, more developers are apt to build apps for the Android platform because they know that they can get it to market without getting Google's approval, which can lower the overall costs & eliminates the approval uncertainty.
Right now, there are several hundred thousand apps for the iPhone and less than 100,000 for Android phones, but this gap is closing quickly.
The ratio of free vs. pay apps for Android phones is 64% while only 28% of iPhone apps are free (keep in mind that malicious apps are more likely to be free to encourage more downloads).
By design, Android apps alert the user during the install on what will be accessed on their phone by using the app and must get the user's approval.
The problem with this 'disclosure' process is that many users either don't pay attention or don't understand what is being disclosed during the install in their haste to use the app.
Think like a hacker; one platform requires the submission for approval of every application (iPhone) and the other simply requires that you tell the user in a somewhat technical manner, what will happen when the app is installed (Android) but no one is confirming this.
The reality as of this writing is that neither platform has experienced massive exposure to malicious applications, but you can be assured that this will change in the future.
iPhone users that choose to 'jailbreak' their phones are essentially opening themselves to 'un-vetted' apps just like Android users, but they don't get the disclosure step, so be forewarned.
In my opinion, none of this should be the deciding factor on which platform to use as they are both wonderful systems that will continue to evolve with the changing environment.
Just use the same rules as you should with your home computer; if you don't need it, don't install it and if you aren't sure of the source, steer clear!
