A couple weekends ago we were lucky enough to make it down to LXM 801 in Orem, UT. I caught a peek of Matt Russell and Johnny Rodriguez's goalie clinic and I noticed something a little different about Matt's pocket. One of the high school guys, focused on the lesson, pulled Matt aside when he […]

Talking Pockets: Denver Outlaws' Will Mangan
We caught up with Will Mangan of the Denver Outlaws last week to talk about his current pocket set up, what kind of head and mesh he uses, and who strings his sticks. Will goes in-depth on it all!
Talking Pockets: LIVE Hangout With Billy, Nick, and Ty
We're Talking Pockets today with LAS' own Billy Nguyen, ChillLax Customs' Nick Coyne, and Albany attackman Ty Thompson.

Men who have sex with men. MSM. It's the simple catch-all term used in studies to define gay and bisexual men. The term "MSM" doesn't conjure up the typical light-hearted stereotypes that are associated with the word "gay." MSM doesn't sound fashionable or fun. It's cold, clinical, and it's exact. And it's who we are.
Nationally, MSM represent 2% of the U.S. population, yet account for more than half of all new HIV infections. MSM are the only risk group for HIV in which new infections have increased steadily since the early 90s.
"Since the beginning of the US epidemic, MSM have consistently represented the largest percentage of persons diagnosed with AIDS and persons with an AIDS diagnosis who have died," reports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
A CDC report issued in September revealed both encouraging and frightening results for Atlanta's gay community. In a nationwide study, Atlanta had the lowest HIV rate among MSM versus all other cities in the study, at 6 percent. However, Atlanta was near the top of the list in MSM who did not know they were HIV positive, at a whopping 55 percent.
So why the mystery over the community's HIV status?
"A Renewed Epidemic"
Tracy Elliott doesn't hesitate when asked what the barriers are to HIV prevention.
"Apathy and indifference," says the executive director of AID Atlanta. He cites a misguided feeling among many in the community that HIV is no longer a dangerous or deadly disease.
"There's also a sense of fatigue on the part of people my age who've been dealing with this now for close to 30 years and people are tired of it," he says. "But the danger is still there."
Breakthroughs in HIV medication and science have also had the unintended consequence of giving a false sense of security. Those living with HIV/AIDS often take "the cocktail" – a combination of antiretroviral drugs taken to combat the disease.
Last December, on the heels of World AIDS Day, a 40-year-old American man in Berlin was classified as cured of HIV. The announcement came three-and-a-half years after Brown underwent a transplant of HIV-resistant stem cells for the treatment of leukemia. Doctors and scientists have been quick to point out that the treatment cannot be applied to the vast majority of HIV patients.
"We should be clear that this 'cure' will in fact have almost no impact on the average HIV-infected patient," says Bert Jacobs, a professor at Arizona State University at Tempe as reported by EmaxHealth.
It's a combination of seemingly beneficial events that unfortunately lead to riskier behavior like unprotected sex. "The way that human beings react to risk is that it's got to be pretty immediate before it significantly changes behavior," Elliott says. "And the risk doesn't seem to be nearly as immediate as it used to be. It's still there but it doesn't seem to be as in our faces as it once was."
The numbers of young MSM unaware of their positive HIV status are skyrocketing as well, which doesn't bode well for the future. "You just think about how many people are unaware of their status, and of course those people are much more likely to spread HIV as statistically shown by the CDC," Elliott says.
"You have on your hands a renewed epidemic in a sense. It's a different kind of epidemic but it's still shocking and alarming."
Eyes Wide Open
Whatever the excuses people find for not getting tested, the fact remains we're still losing each other. We're not losing a generation of gay men overnight like we were in the 80s and 90s, but we're still losing each other.
"I had a friend in Indianapolis die over the weekend of HIV/AIDS," says Elliott. "He was under 35 years of age, so this is still a disease that claims young and vital lives. This was an amazing musician who just had an amazing zest for life."
The death has rocked Indianapolis' gay community out of a peaceful slumber regarding HIV/AIDS. "Unfortunately it takes something like that to get us to recognize that this is still a very dangerous situation," Elliott says.
The way to keeping something like that from happening in Atlanta is clear. Getting tested, asking a potential sexual partner's status, and practicing safe sex are basic adult decisions.
"You've got to take responsibility for yourself and not depend on anyone to protect you," Elliott says.

Since Lowe's announced a leadership realignment in May, a major position remains unfilled: chief merchant.
Back in May, the retailer's leadership realignment created two groups -- a Customer Experience organization led by Gregory Bridgeford, and the Operations organization, led by Rick Damron. One position still missing is a chief merchant.
"A big part of what we did then was the new customer experience design that Bob Gfeller moved over to run, reporting to Greg," said Lowe's CEO Robert Niblock, during the company's analyst and investor conference last week. "He's also continuing to help run merchandising as Greg is out looking for a chief merchant."
The company's search for the chief merchant continues. Bob Gfeller, customer experience design executive, fills the executive VP merchandising position on a temporary basis.
"A chief merchant is still a very key and critical part of the organizational design," Niblock added.
Lowe's is also seeking to fill the position of head of supply chain, to report to Damron in the Operations organization.

Forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi have killed at least 25 anti-government fighters on the frontline between Ajdabiya and Brega in eastern Libya, according to rebel sources.
The rebels have spent months trying to seize the strategic oil hub of Brega, which would open the road to Sirte, the Libyan leader's home town, and from there to the capital Tripoli.
"Our men were tricked. Gaddafi's soldiers pretended to surrender, coming with a white flag, and then they fired on us," Mussa al-Mograbi, a rebel commander, told the AFP news agency on Monday.
Dozens more fighters were wounded and transferred to a hospital in Ajdabiya, 160km south of Benghazi, the de facto capital of rebels who have been fighting to overthrow Gaddafi since mid-February.
Brega boasts an important oil refinery which, once operational, could supply the east of the country with much-needed fuel to produce electricity.
French and British attack helicopters have been backing rebels by targeting positions of pro-Gaddafi forces in and around Brega since June 3.
Rebels, who refuse to specify how many fighters have joined their ranks, estimate that up to 5,000 loyalist troops are defending Brega.
Western advance
Battles between pro-democracy fighters and Gaddafi forces continued across the west of the country, as rebels said they were advancing towards Tripoli.
Rebel fighters said they were making gains towards Zlitan from the port city of Misurata - which is under their control. Zlitan is one of three towns separating Misurata from the capital Tripoli.
An AFP correspondent said Gaddafi's forces pounded the outskirts of Zintan on Sunday, killing at least seven rebels and wounding 49.
Government forces posted a few miles east of Zintan, which remains under rebel control, fired Grad and Katyusha rockets at the town.
NATO, which has been bombing Gaddafi forces since late March, said it was taking "necessary action" to protect civilians.
"NATO is monitoring the situation closely and is taking necessary action to protect civilians," a statement by the Western alliance said.
"Along the north-west coast of Libya between Tripoli and the Tunisian border Libyans long tired of Gaddafi rule are challenging his legitimacy openly, and in doing so, are under threat of attack."
International support
On the diplomatic front, international support of the rebels grew on Monday with Germany becoming the latest nation to endorse Libya's opposition.
The recognition, voiced by Guido Westerwelle, the German foreign minister, on a visit to Benghazi is significant because Germany has been reluctant to be drawn into the Libyan conflict and opted out of NATO military action.
"We share the same goal - Libya without Gaddafi," Westerwelle announced in Benghazi after meeting members of the rebel Interim National Council (INC).
Countries that have recognised the INC include France, Italy, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
For her part, Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, urged African leaders to follow suit and abandon Gaddafi.
"It has become clear that we are long past the time when he [Gaddafi] can remain in power," she said in a speech to the African Union at its headquarters in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.
"Your words and your actions could make the difference ... in ending this situation and allowing the people of Libya to get to work writing a constitution and rebuilding their country," she said.

Invest in more
than just your child's education.
Campus View Condominiums is a newly-constructed
student neighborhood in Harrisonburg VA. Located
less than a mile from the JMU campus, this student community
is truly a remarkable alternative to dormitory and apartment
living. Our 4-bedroom condominiums have amenities such
as private bathrooms and walk-in closets in every bedroom,
a full appliance package in the kitchen, a swimming pool
with a hot tub, an outdoor pavilion with grills and a fireplace,
a clubhouse with fitness center, volleyball & basketball courts.
Best of all, the income produced by renting
out the additional bedrooms can offset large portion of the
cost of ownership. Instead of throwing away thousands of dollars
on rent money, you build equity in real estate while your student
enjoys living with their choice of college friends in their
own home.
Financing Available
We've got money to loan! In fact, we've secured FHA financing for these condominiums. Since you have to pay for housing anyway, why not make it an investment? And when your student graduates you can take advantage of the recession-proof real estate market typical of college towns like Harrisonburg.
Given today's headlines, it's nice to know there are still worthwhile investments out there. Investments like Campus View Condominiums.

Individual Retirement Account (IRA)
Valuable time spent with family, relaxing fishing trips — whatever your dream retirement entails, make it possible with the help of a Volunteer State Bank IRA. Choose from our traditional or Roth options — each with different associated tax advantages.
Benefit from interest above standard savings and no setup or monthly service fees. We're here for our customers during every phase in life. Make your retirement years your best by preparing early.
- Summary
- Tax-advantaged retirement savings*
- Competitive interest above standard savings rates
- Traditional and Roth IRA options
- No setup fees
- No monthly or annual maintenance fees
- $5,500 contribution limit per year
- Additional $1,000 "catch-up" contribution allowed for ages 50+
- Funds can be used to purchase CDs within IRA
- $1,000 minimum deposit to open
*Consult a tax advisor.
- Traditional vs. Roth
There are advantages to both traditional and Roth IRAs. One of the biggest differences is the time at which you see the most advantage. A traditional IRA provides potential tax relief today, while a Roth IRA has the potential for the most tax benefit at time of retirement.
Traditional IRA
- No income limits to open
- No minimum contribution requirement
- Contributions are tax deductible on state and federal income tax*
- Earnings are tax deferred until withdrawal (when usually in lower tax bracket)
- Withdrawals can begin at age 59 ½
- Early withdrawals subject to penalty**
- Mandatory withdrawals at age 70 ½
Roth IRA
- Income limits to be eligible to open Roth IRA***
- Contributions are NOT tax deductible
- Earnings are 100% tax free at withdrawal*
- Principal contributions can be withdrawn without penalty*
- Withdrawals on interest can begin at age 59 ½
- Early withdrawals on interest subject to penalty**
- No mandatory distribution age
- No age limit on making contributions as long as you have earned income
*Subject to some minimal conditions. Consult a tax advisor.
**Certain exceptions apply, such as healthcare, purchasing first home, etc.
***Consult a tax advisor.
- IRA Rollovers
If you're changing employers, an IRA Rollover makes sense. If you are retiring or changing jobs and anticipate withdrawing money from your employer's retirement plan, you can avoid withdrawal penalties by transferring your assets into an IRA or another qualified plan. You can ask your employer to arrange for a "direct rollover" of your money into a new IRA account with us, or you can do it yourself with an IRA-to-IRA rollover.
You must complete the rollover within 60 days from the date you receive the assets from your old IRA in order to qualify and not pay the mandatory 20% withholding and possibly other penalties as well. For more information about IRA Rollovers or opening a new IRA just give us a call by contacting your local branch.

The Further Adventures of Dr. Dolittle (1970-72) was (very) loosely based on the series of 13 novels written over three decades by Hugh Lofting, starting in 1920.
Original episodes were broadcast on NBC from September 12, 1970 through September 4, 1971. The second season consisted of repeats.
This was the first television show in which the starring character was a vegetarian.

Naomi Watts Fronts Ann Taylor for Fall
Ann Taylor's tried everything of late. Supermodels Heidi Klum and Linda Evangelista have posed for the brand, their windows have been styled a la J.Crew and their sister store LOFT has recruited stylists like Kate Young and Tina Chai to whip up especially fashion forward outfits.
It's working, too. This spring their $198 white lace dress was going for $400 on eBay.
And now they're taking it a step further with a celebrity spokesperson, one who doesn't pose for just anyone even though she's drop dead gorgeous, comes with serious fashion cred and can actually act Naomi Watts.
The mother of two should appeal to an entirely different type of customer (and by different we mean from both the models and the stylists), but it may be a good idea for Ann Taylor to stick to a single face for more than one season. Change is good, but so is consistency after such a drastic revamp. And if you're going to stick to one spokesperson, Naomi Watts is a pretty good bet.

MAD in INDIA to replace Nach Baliye 6
[To set reminder and check TV schedule of MAD in India click here......]
MAD in India, Sunil Grover aka Gutthi's show will be replacing the current favorite show of viewers on Star Plus Nach Baliye 6. iDubba already told its readers that Sunil Grover will be coming soon with his new show in a new avatar called 'Chutki' and now we confirm the news of it to replace NB6 and also the name of his show. It's MAD in India! Unusual but totally his type's right?
Since Nach Baliye 6 will be reaching its crescendo next week, Star Plus couldn't have thought well than this. Gutthi became a household name when Sunil portrayed this iconic character in Comedy Nights with Kapil on the rival channel COLORS.
After much success and fame, Sunil demanded an increase in money from the channel and finally left the show when he was denied. Star Plus surely took an advantage by tapping his talent and giving him a solo show which Sunil very well deserves.
The dance reality show Nach Baliye will bid adieu next week and Mad in India will happily replace it, please note it is not clashing with Comedy Nights with Kapil. This pact was peacefully signed between the two. Sunil made it very clear that he is not coming to compete with Kapil instead to make more money and get individual attention.
Stand-up comedian Sunil Grover is very excited with this golden opportunity. He will be playing 'Chutki' in the show, a character which will be quiet similar to his very popular role of 'Gutthi.' He will be sharing the stage with TV host and now a Bollywood hero Manish Paul and Dolly Ahluwalia from the movie 'Vicky Donor.'
Manish would be seen interviewing various celebrities from TV and film fraternity. Sunil will be doing funny gigs with them in different avatars. Sources also tell us that ace Marathi comedian Siddharth Jadhav, who was seen in Comedy Circus will also join the team of these mad people.
Currently the team is working on the concepts and scripts. Sunil is happy that Indian viewers have started liking comedy shows over daily soaps as they give a variety of entertaining gigs which can be seen with the entire family. I am sure Sunil and his team will put lot of effort to make it different from Kapil's show but people will certainly draw comparisons so he should be ready to take them.
There is again a feminine avatar similar to Gutthi, his favorite punches will be almost same, and we also saw the look of Chutki in Nach Baliye 6 when he came to promote it, which was little like Gutthi who used to wear Indian clothes.
Looks like there will be a good dose of comedy shows over the coming weekends. The time slot for this show is 9 pm and then at 10 pm you can watch Comedy Nights with Kapil. It's gonna be a roller coaster ride of laughter for the viewers from next week. We wish Sunil all the best for his new journey!
Till then share your Views, Reviews, Comments and Suggestions about this post on Twitter-iDubba and set reminders for your favourite shows on iDubba app

She graduates on Saturday (gulp!)
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 06-04-2013 - 8:05am
We hosted a grad party for about 100 people in our backyard on Saturday, then went to the Senior Tea (where the kids and parents have a chance to stand up and thank someone publicly--lots of tears!) on Sunday. Tomorrow, she turns 18. Thursday is Class Day (DD, as salutatorian, gives a speech) and prom (found a date at last after breaking up with her boyfriend), and Saturday is graduation. On July 1, that first whopping tuition payment is due (they do give plenty of warning so you can sell off your assets, pets, younger children, etc.) and on August 23rd, we drop her off for college orientation.
I'm having trouble believing how quickly the time has passed.
|Tue, 06-04-2013 - 11:46am
Hugs! That is a whole lot of activity this week!! Ours was luckily spaced out and I still have until Sept. 21 until she reports to college. We had graduation this past Friday and it was a wonderful event. Enjoy all of it as much as you can, it does go by so very quickly!!!
|Tue, 06-04-2013 - 12:37pm
Congratulations!! You must be so proud and happy--salutatorian, wow! Enjoy every minute and take lots of pictures because it does go by in a split second. It seems that we were just celebrating our second daughter's high school graduation and all of a sudden, presto and she's just graduated from college.
I think your dd will love Wellesley. (I don't know if my youngest can get in but I've added it to her list. I'd love her to have role models like your daughter.)
|Tue, 06-04-2013 - 7:41pm
Congratulations to your HS graduate! How is your DD spending her summer? She has a lot of time to earn some money, but I know jobs for teens are hard to come by.
|Tue, 06-04-2013 - 7:45pm
Really? You want your DD to have a role model who asks to borrow your running shorts because she can't be troubled to put hers thru the wash? And who sits happily chatting while you unload the dishwasher? <<G>> I feel like this is the summer to correct my parenting deficits before I inflict her on her roommate!
|Tue, 06-04-2013 - 7:47pm
Lots of tears this week that I wasn't expecting. Your turn is coming! Enjoy your last year with your D at home!
|Wed, 06-05-2013 - 9:44am

Congratulations to your HS graduate! How is your DD spending her summer? She has a lot of time to earn some money, but I know jobs for teens are hard to come by.

I think this one was for me. Jordyn has been working for a cheerleading and dance gym for 2 years now, this is her last full week there. They have "open" practices for anyone who wants to attend all summer long and told her that whenever she is home or in town and is available to come on in and work the practices and they will pay her. They never know how many kids will show up for the open practices and so they always need spotters and coaches there. She will also go into the gym to continue working on her skills all summer for her team in the fall.
Sunday she starts her job with the National Cheerleading Association. She will travel around the state all summer long working cheerleading camps, she's very excited about it. Right now on her schedule she's got 7 camps she's working, ranging from 2 days to 5 days each in legnth. She's home most weekends, at least for Friday night and Saturday to be able to still go out with friends and her BF for the summer. Its also nice because its a national job, and if she opts to stay in Oregon next summer to take classes, she can transfer to the Oregon area camps and work those all summer long.
Does your DD have a job for the summer? I do know a few other kids that are having issues finding a job for the summer.
|Wed, 06-05-2013 - 9:46am

LOL! I have been thinking this same thing the last several months, you are not alone, mine does the same stuff!! I just have to cross my fingers that what I know I did teach her somehow kicks in and she goes into survival mode at college. Though the fact that they have someone that does all their team laundry doesn't help me teach her responsibility much...
|Wed, 06-05-2013 - 2:06pm
Jordyn sounds like she actually has a fun job, not the usual cashier or ice cream scooping stuff. Abigail has managed to cobble together a combination of paid (babysitting, giving piano lessons) and unpaid (intern at a Christian organization serving the homeless) work. The paid stuff won't add up to much, but I do think it will be rewarding for her.
Poor Will, now 16, has applied for a few things but hasn't heard back, so he may need to hire himself out as a lawn mower or something!
|Wed, 06-05-2013 - 2:27pm
Jordyn has been lucky and had jobs handed to her, at least the cheer gym one, the owner was working with the H/S team on stunting and they wanted her on their competitive team and I told them she had to have a paying job, we couldn't afford for her not to have a job, and we really couldn't afford the team either. They gave her the job and covered all her team related expenses. The NCA one you had to be in the top of certain groups at camps and she was Top All American 2 years in a row, so they asked her to apply for the job. She had to do a decently legnthy application process and training, and DH calls it a "filler, go no where" job, but she gains a lot of experience and makes a lot of connections out of it and while its not great money, she could make more money working full time if she could find a full time job, I am just glad its basically a guarenteed job every summer if she wants it type of thing.
Love my daughter to death, but she doesn't always have the initiative to do something she doesn't want to do... So finding a job that she doesn't like or doesn't see a reason for, isn't going to happen. My DH has offered her several times money to do paperwork and front office stuff for his business and she refuses to as its not something she's interested in doing, and no amount of money will change that, hoping she'll get better as the years go on, or she may be unemployed or under employed coming out of college with an art history degree since no amount of talking can convince her it may not be the best degree plan to go into...
Good luck to Will, something I've learned lately, its not always about how hard you work putting in applications, somethings its simply about the connections you have and networking you do.

Besides its top-tier national parks, California is also speckled with national monuments and historic sites, some in far-flung, beautifully remote destinations, stretching from the Mexico to the Oregon border.
Along the Eastern Sierra Scenic Byway, Devils Postpile National Monument and Manzanar National Historic Site can easily be combined with your Yosemite vacation.
Near Mammoth Lakes, the Devils Postpile is a rare geological formation of columnar basalt. But that's not the only attraction in this remote valley, where you can hike to Rainbow and Minaret Falls or along the John Muir and Pacific Crest Trails.
When planning your trip, keep in mind that the monument is usually open from mid-June through mid-October, weather permitting. About 200 miles farther south along the scenic byway, outside the town of Independence, Manzanar tells the story of Japanese American citizens and resident Japanese aliens who were forced into an internment camp here during WWII. The thought-provoking displays inside the interpretive center and along the self-guided driving tour are still very much relevant today in our post-9/11 world.
In the far northeastern corner of California near the Oregon state line, Lava Beds National Monument attracts spelunkers to its network of hundreds of lava tube caves. Families of beginners and expert cavers alike will find something to spark their imaginations here.
Native American pictographs, battle sites dating from a 19th-century war between the U.S. Army and Modoc tribespeople, and a vast lavascape sitting atop the Medicine Lake shield volcano await exploration, either on your own or with a ranger guide.
Birders flock to nearby Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge, a prime stopover on the migratory Pacific Flyway. American bald eagles, golden eagles, peregrine falcons, American white pelicans, and several species of geese are just a handful of the birds spotted here.
A relaxingly rural day trip from San Francisco, Pinnacles National Monument rises abruptly from the chaparral-covered foothills of the Gabilan Mountains in California's central valley. The monument is named for its spiring rock formations and monoliths, among which endangered California condors take wing.
The geology of the park is volcanic, with talus caves formed in boulder-strewn canyons that now shelter over a dozen different species of bats. Rock climbing and hiking are the most popular outdoor activities, with ranger-guided full-moon walks and after-dark astronomy and bat-viewing programs geared especially for families. The best times to visit are in the spring and fall; during summer, it can be too blisteringly hot to even walk around or breathe easily during the daytime. Note that the monument has two separate entrances, with no through road (only hiking trails) connecting the east and west sides. You'll find the most visitor facilities, including the campground, near the east entrance, off Highway 146.
In Southern California, San Diego's Cabrillo National Monument is a great place to learn about 16th-century Spanish exploration of Alta California, then take in the view from the lighthouse at windy Point Loma. Bring binoculars and you can try some shoreline whale watching in winter.

Anyone have advice for a Rachel user? The DVD has some really good playstyle advice for the other characters, but didn't seem as in depth with Rachel. At the low levels I am at, everyone is really aggressive, so I spend 99% of the time blocking and trying to get in a 6B counter hit to go into a combo. This doesn't really work against Noel, I can't seem to find a time to counter. Jin users seem to throw an ice sword from far away, then ice car at me. Nu... well... I can't really get any lobelia/wind stuff going, so I spend the whole match trying to get in close. If it's a bad Nu, it is an easy win. If it's a decent Nu, I can't touch them.

The Pod Also Rises (updated)
The New York Times today carries an article about the mild fuss in the neoconservative intellectual community--what a cranky lot they are--over the editorship of Commentary being handed down to daddy's boy John Podhoretz like a family heirloom.
To some within the neoconservative movement, the announcement of John Podhoretz as the next editor of Commentary magazine--the same job his father, Norman, held for 35 year--is the best of all possible choices. It is a model of what Adam Bellow (son of the Nobel-winning novelist Saul) called the "new nepotism,"* combining the "privileges of birth with the iron rule of merit."
But to others the decision reeks of the "old nepotism," in which the only credential that matters is the identity of your father--in Mr. Bellow's cosmology, less like the Roosevelts than like Tori Spelling getting an acting job because her father was Aaron Spelling.
"I think some people are pretty shocked," said Jacob Heilbrunn, whose book "They Knew They Were Right: The Rise of the Neocons" is coming out in January. John Podhoretz, movie critic for The Weekly Standard magazine and a political columnist for The New York Post, "isn't seen as a heavyweight intellectual," said Mr. Heilbrunn, who has discussed the appointment with several neoconservatives. Rather, "he is seen as being a beneficiary of his parents' fame in the George W. Bush mold."
...[O]f the more than 30 people contacted for this article, several who have written for the magazine or have contributed money to the Commentary Fund said they were troubled by the family connection, the lack of an open search process and what they consider to be Mr. Podhoretz's lack of intellectual credentials for such a highbrow journal, partly because he has written so much about popular culture [my italics]. A former writer for Commentary said the appointment repudiated one of neoconservatism's founding principles, a commitment to meritocracy. He, like other respondents, asked not to be identified because of longstanding ties either to the magazine or to the Podhoretz family.
Craven lackeys.
Mind you, I too am troubled by young Pod's copious writings about pop culture. Mostly because they've been so consistently, dependably, fritteringly negligible. As a critic he doesn't even rank a bronze medalist. Decades of writing about movies and other forms of entertainment and he's never done one standout review or essay worth remembering, much less anthologizing. He's an enthusiast with lots of gassy opinions, a farter of ephemera, the Jonah Goldberg of the cinema. As an editor he is untested, but I wish him the best of luck running the magazine into the ground.
However, it's ridiculously prissy for Podhoretz's doubters and detractors to act as if Commentary risks infection from the alien virus of popular culture. Before it became strictly the lyric sheet for perpetual war, Commentary ran numerous essays about popular culture without feeling it had to apologize to Lionel Trilling. It ran a number of Robert Warshow's influential essays, it published Jewish hipsters such as Albert Goldman, Seymour Krim, and the young future director James Toback, for years it featured a film-review column by William S. Pechter, it even made room for Clive James's brilliant tour de force about Norman Mailer's Marilyn. (In his innocence James also published in The New York Review of Books, not learning until his first visit to New York that the two publications and its editors were locked in mortal combat. Ah, those were the days, when dirty looks were flung across the room at literary cocktail parties like daggers and Philip Nobile's Intellectual Skywriting could recap the intellectual turf wars with the relish of Jimmy Breslin covering the latest gangland rub-out.)
Point is, if I know about Commentary's record of popcult coverage, shouldn't its contributors and donors have more of a clue instead of treating young Pod as if he were the lucky sperm club's tribute to Roger Ebert? Any essay he commissions about pop culture can't be worse than the magazine's usual emission.
*The "new nepotism" is simply the old nepotism with a fancier rationale. At least when the British establishment found room at the top for the idiot sons of lords they weren't pretentious about it.
Update: The New York Observer elicts juicier quotes from those disgruntled over JPod's taking over this mom and pop operation, though, given the photograph accompanying the piece, it seems a mite mischievous to characterise him as "well-rounded."

Germany's IQWiG Confirms That ThromboGenics' JETREA® Demonstrates Major Added Value For The Treatment Of Vitreomacular Traction And Macular Hole
When the vitreous humor shrinks, the strong attachment results in a pulling force on the retina, which may lead to visual distortion, decreased visual acuity and central blindness. When the disease progresses the traction may eventually result in the formation of a hole in the macula (called a macular hole).
JETREA ® breaks down the protein fibers which cause the abnormal traction between the vitreous and the macula that causes VMT. By dissolving these proteins, JETREA ® releases the traction, and helps to complete the detachment of the vitreous from the macula.
JETREA ® can also be used when VMT has progressed and caused a small hole in the macula (central part of the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye).
The current approach in the EU is 'observation', 'watchful waiting' or 'watch and wait' until a patient becomes a candidate for surgical treatment, usually at a late stage of the disease. 2,3 A patient would then receive a surgical procedure and repair of the retina. However, for many patients this is not a suitable option, as irreversible damage to the retina may have already occurred. 4,5ThromboGenics is continuing to work closely with Alcon to ensure patients across Europe and rest of the world can access this innovative medicine and receive JETREA ® as soon as it becomes available in the respective countries.

Retina Today 2011;(Suppl):1-14 About JETREA ® (ocriplasmin) JETREA ® (ocriplasmin) is a truncated form of human plasmin. In the US, JETREA ® is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic VMA. In Europe, JETREA ® is indicated for the treatment of vitreomacular traction (VMT), including when associated with macular hole of diameter ≤ 400 microns. JETREA ® is a selective proteolytic enzyme that cleaves fibronectin, laminin and collagen, three major components of the vitreoretinal interface that play an important role in vitreomacular adhesion. JETREA ® has been evaluated in two multi-center, randomized, double-masked Phase III trials conducted in the U.S. and Europe involving 652 patients with vitreomacular adhesion. Both studies met the primary endpoint of resolution of VMA at day 28. JETREA's Phase III program found that 26.5% of patients treated with ocriplasmin saw resolution of VMA, compared with 10.1% of patients receiving placebo (p<0.01). The Phase III program also showed that JETREA was generally well tolerated with most adverse events being transient and mild in severity.

Why Rising Interest Rates Could Help Merger Funds
NEW YORK ( TheStreet ) -- Worried about rising interest rates, investors are scrambling to protect their portfolios. Many are dumping bonds and dividend-paying stocks, which tend to do poorly when rates climb.
What investments will thrive when the Federal Reserve finally raises rates? Among the likely winners are merger funds, which buy the stocks of companies that are being acquired.
Top-performing mutual funds include Merger Fund (MERFX) and Arbitrage Fund (ARGAX). ETF investors can try IQ Merger Arbitrage (MNA).
Merger funds delivered solid results throughout the last big run-up in rates, which occurred in the three years that began in 2004. During that time, the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate from 1% to 5.25%. For the period, Merger Fund returned 5% annually, topping the average intermediate government fund by a wide margin. "When interest rates rise, bond investors have the wind in their faces, but we have the wind at our backs," says John Orrico, portfolio manager of Arbitrage Fund.In up and down markets, the merger funds churn out modest results, delivering single-digit returns almost every year. During the past 10 years, Merger Fund and Arbitrage Fund both returned 3.8% annually, according to Morningstar. The funds outdid the average short-term bond funds, while being only a bit more volatile. "Merger arbitrage is a way to preserve wealth, not necessarily an easy way to become rich," says Paul Rosenberg, portfolio manager of Catalyst Event Arbitrage Fund (CEAAX), a mutual fund that invests in merger stocks. In a typical deal, a fund buys the shares of company that is about to be acquired. Say an acquirer announces that it will pay $12 a share for the target stock, and the deal is expected to close in two months. Before the deal is completed, the shares may trade for $11.50 because investors worry that the sale could be scotched by regulators or other problems. If that happens, the shares could sink well below the proposed acquisition price. The merger investor buys the shares, betting that the deal will close. If the acquisition happens on schedule, the investor pockets profits of $.50 a share. Such small gains can add up to single-digit annual returns.

Passing on the Tradition
When I was a little boy, I learned early that the best answer to the question, "Ryan, what do you want to be when you grow up?" was the enthusiastic reply, "A PRIEST!" Such a response earned me a pat on the head, a beaming glance and a couple of quarters from my grandfather. Secretly, however, I harbored another desire: I wanted to be a professional Irish musician.
Fast-forward about 20 years. I am now a Jesuit studying for the priesthood at Fordham. I continue to travel the world playing accordion for Irish dancing competitions known as feiseanna. I even teach a course titled "Introduction to the Irish Tin Whistle" in Fordham's Irish Studies program. It seems that the innocent response of an eager-to-please little boy turned out to be a prophecy that is being fulfilled.
I often joke that I had to forsake the life of a rock-star accordion player to become a Jesuit. Actually, the opposite is nearer to the truth. Only by becoming a Jesuit did I fully grow into the Irish musician I was capable of being. My tin whistle students may guffaw at this claim. Didn't they hear me complain each week that I didn't have enough time to practice, to learn new tunes?
Allow me to explain. As a young musician, I was always after the next musical conquest—the next competition; the next difficult tune learned; the next movement mastered. My self-assessment as a musician rested upon what I could do with the instrument. My expectation was that people would look at my skill and judge me favorably because of it.
After I entered the Society of Jesus in 2004, I made the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius Loyola. This 30-day retreat is an intense period of prayer-guided encounters through which retreatants come to know, love and commit themselves to the service of God's kingdom as disciples of Jesus Christ. Through the Exercises they see themselves as individuals in the midst of an unfolding story of God's love and humanity's rejection of it. They realize more fully their role in the history of God's narrative of creation and salvation.
What, then, of Irish music? As I reflected upon my call to discipleship, I saw a parallel in my own musical heritage. The tunes that I played—the reels and jigs I learned and used to show off my skills—were written and performed by generations of musicians before me. My great-grandfather and great-aunt played these tunes; my immigrant teachers played these tunes; and now my students play these tunes. I recognized that my place in the Irish musical tradition is not as its greatest exponent, but rather as a steward who passes along what he has received from that tradition. With that realization, I ceased merely to play an Irish instrument and became the Irish musician I had always wanted to be.
The job of educators at a Jesuit university is not so different. Ours is a tremendous inheritance of wisdom that has been passed down through the Church for two millennia. Just as traditional music finds new expressions when it encounters new musical contexts, so we have the duty and privilege to help the next generation find its place within the Church's tradition.
When I teach my tin whistle students, I begin with the basics—how to hold the whistle, how to cover its holes and how to blow it so it doesn't make shrill noises. Then I build up a foundation of basic tunes—marches, polkas and carols—and begin to introduce various ornaments. As the students progress in difficulty, I encourage them to imitate me. The goal is not that they "play like me," but rather that they learn the basics. This prepares them to expand the boundaries of the tradition through their own creative engagement with the music.
This is a challenge for any student. On one hand, there is a temptation to adhere to a rigid musical dogmatism that proclaims, "This is the only way it has ever been done! We can't change it!" On the other hand, there are students who feel it is their right to impose deranged interpretations with the rejoinder, "I'm just being creative."
A middle way, I suggest, is preferred. Students must learn the tradition and how a tune has been expressed in the past. Only then are they in a position to engage creatively and fruitfully with the music in a way that adds to the living tradition.
Whether we teach history, theology, biology or tin whistle, the burden and blessing is the same: We must hand on faithfully what we have received and equip our students to express what they have been given in new contexts. Can we work together to give students the critical tools they need to discern various truth claims and make informed decisions? As I tell my students, my hope is that each one will find a way to claim his or her voice in the Irish tradition. My job is not to give them that voice. My job is to help them find it within themselves.
The aim of a Jesuit education is nothing less: We help women and men claim their places within a larger tradition so that they can meet the demands of the world with fidelity to their roots and enthusiastic engagement with the future.

Isn't this just more Jesuit BS? Why don't you take a stand on an issue instead of trying to have it both ways. The "goal" of a Catholic institution is to preserve and hand on the Faith.
Your attitude is just another instance of why the Jesuits are dying. Good riddance.

As a musician, teacher, and also fortunate benefactor of your instruction, I find this article to be quite enlightening, and in some ways a reflection of my own thoughts.
There is that less than humble part of me which wants to be recognized for my own sake. In a hundred years, I want someone to say, "I want to play like the legendary Laura Romaine!" the same way we talk today of Matt Molloy, Michael Coleman, Mary Bergin, and the like.
Then, there is the more rational thought, that I am simply a channel keeping a tradition alive. There is that amazing sense of satisfaction when I see my students excel, and even surpass me. I am privileged enough to carry on that tradition, and add to it, but it is a responsibility as well.
Amusingly enough, when I was VERY small, I would also tell people that I wanted to be a priest. Of course, I would have to turn into a boy first, but that certainly wouldn't be a problem, right?
After realizing that I would have to find another profession, I have found that the Irish music I so love is one of my favorite forms of prayer. And not only do I pass on that rich musical history, but the religious history and faith as well.
Though it may sound rather cliche, music has helped me discover my faith in a richer sense, expressing my prayers audibly in a way words cannot. Also, to discover a place where I can have a voice, and sing praises in a way that is unique and completely heartfelt.
I apologize for blabbing so much, but I really appreciate your blog... it always gets me thinking! Continue your great work.

BREAKING: Boxer's Math Does Not Add Up: Letter Reveals 10 Democratic Senators Opposed Climate Tax Bill
June 6, 2008
Posted Marc Morano – 3:43 PM EST – firstname.lastname@example.com
Boxer's Math Does Not Add Up
Letter Reveals 10 Democratic Senators Opposed Climate Tax Bill
Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) claimed today that Democrats had the support of 54 U.S. Senators for the Climate Tax Bill. Directly contradicting Boxer's assertion is a letter signed on June 6 by ten Democratic Senators explicitly stating they "cannot support final passage" of the Climate Tax Bill. The letter indicates that Boxer would apparently only have had at most 45 votes today to support final passage of the bill. (Democrat Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, who was absent for today's vote, had previously voted against bringing the bill to the floor on June 2.)
Boxer alleged in a June 6 statement that Democrats "had 54 Senators come down on the side of tackling this crucial issue now" following the today's cloture vote of 48-36 which effectively killed the bill.
But the signed letter by ten Democratic Senators tells a much different story.
"As Democrats from regions of the country that will be most immediately affected by climate legislation, we want to share our concerns with the bill that is currently before the Senate. We commend your leadership in attempting to address one the most significant threats to this and future generations; however, we cannot support final passage of the Boxer Substitute in its current form," ten Democratic Senators wrote in a letter to Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senator Boxer.
The ten Democrats Senators were: Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Senator John D. Rockefeller (D-WV), Carl Levin (D-MI), Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), Mark Pryor (D-AR), Jim Webb (D-VA), Evan Bayh (D-IN), Clair McCaskill (D-MO), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), and Ben Nelson (D-FL).
Of the ten Senators, only Senator Brown voted against cloture today, which effectively killed the bill this Congressional session.
Boxer's claim that today's vote "proves that our nation is ready" to support global warming cap-and-trade legislation fails a basic arithmetic test.

December 20, 2014
DALLAS (AP) - Rep. Ralph Hall of North Texas is set to become the oldest member of the U.S. House ever, a few months shy of his 90th birthday.
The Republican from Rockwall is on pace this week to pass North Carolina Rep. Charles Manly Stedman, who died in office in 1930 at 89 years, 7 months and 25 days old. Hall earlier this month had already become the oldest member ever to cast a vote.
The Dallas Morning News reports that Hall recently won re-election to his 17th term from his North Texas district.
It's more common for senators to stay longer in office, in part because senators run for re-election every six years instead of every two.
Hall describes himself as "just an old guy" who has "lived pretty clean."
