Being a Muslim Should Not be Political Kryptonite
Barack Obama belongs to the United Church of Christ. Yet some of his opponents try to associate him with Islam. In one debate, Obama had to refute the claim that he took his oath of office on the Koran, and reassured the public that he did in fact use the Christian Bible. Phew. Glad that's settled.
But wait a second. How does that make Muslim Americans feel about a near renunciation of their holy book? Christian Obama-supporters probably don't pick up the back-door insult delivered to their fellow Muslim Americans when they "defend" Obama against charges that he is Muslim.
To find out what Obama said when questioned about his time in Indonesia, a Muslim country, read more. Obama explains that he went to school there, but did not practice Islam. He has said:
"It gives me insight into how these folks think, and part of how I think we can create a better relationship with the Middle East and that would help make us safer is if we can understand how they think about issues."
When our leaders use terms like Islamo-fascism, or Islamic terrorists, do you think being linked to Islam is dangerous for a politician? Many citizens are both proud Americans and faithful Muslims. So why is it such a potent political weapon to label a partisan foe a Muslim?

BYU basketball report card: Cougs start and finish hot to get revenge on Pepperdine
The Waves actually shot seven more free throws this game and made eight more. They actually turned the ball over five less times as well. They allowed BYU one less offensive rebound than last game and had twice as many steals.
On the other hand, the Cougars outrebounded the Waves overall Thursday night by 13 and only had one shot blocked, as opposed to nine blocked shots on the road versus Pepperdine. These numbers are quite strange considering BYU was without its top post player this time.
Ultimately, the real difference between last game and this game, however, was the 3-point line. At Pepperdine, BYU was 1-of-11 from long distance. In Provo, BYU was 7-of-17. On the other side, the Waves went from hitting 54 percent from behind the arc to just 30 percent at the Marriott Center.
No doubt Pepperdine missed guard Malcolm Brooks in Provo, who was out with a sprained ankle. At home 10 days ago versus BYU, Brooks made 6-of-9 long balls and put up 24 points.
BYU caught a break Thursday with Brooks not playing. Even without him, the Waves stayed close and outplayed the Cougars a majority of the game.

Good analysis of the game last night. However, while I may understand the need to mention Utah in the "Coaching" portion of the article, I'm not sure sure why the need to mention them in the "Crowd" portion. It seems like just a petty jab at the Utah fan base. While it is true there were more fans at this game (14,000+) than Utah had at their game against Oregon (13,426), the Marriott Center was still only at 69%, while the Huntsman Center was at 90%.

Northwestern players see unionization push as spark for change in college sports
EVANSTON, Ill. — No matter how they feel about the push to unionize, at least a few Northwestern players see the movement as a spark for change in college sports.
The question is whether forming a union to bargain for better health insurance and work conditions is the right move for them.
"This is a real issue that people brought up," linebacker Collin Ellis said Saturday. "It shows the power that people could possibly attain. That in itself speaks volumes, and that in itself could be a catalyst for change — yet I feel not at the expense of what we have here."
So Ellis plans to vote against unionizing later this month. The same goes for quarterback Trevor Siemian. Others, such as linebacker Jimmy Hall, wouldn't reveal which way they're leaning.
Either way, they seem to agree on this: They have no issue with their coach or school.
"That's something that I think has kind of been twisted, being a negative thing like we're going against our school," Hall said. "But I don't think that was any of the players' motive starting off — to go against the school. We kind of felt there were things we could change in the whole greater landscape, and that's why guys signed the (union) card (in January)."
Hall spoke Saturday after the final practice of an eventful spring. With former quarterback Kain Colter leading the push to unionize through the College Athletes Players Association, the spotlight has been shining on the program and it won't be turned off anytime soon.
A regional director for the National Labor Relations Board announced on March 26 that Northwestern's football players meet the definition of employees under federal law and are allowed to form the first union for college athletes. The university has appealed, saying it provided "overwhelming evidence" at a hearing earlier this year that the players are "students first." It also noted that it provides four-year scholarships for athletes, not year-to-year scholarships provided by other schools, and that primary or secondary medical coverage is provided as well.
The players are set to vote by secret ballot April 25 on whether to form a union.
"Whether guys are for or against the union, they still believe in the main goals when we signed the card," Hall said. "They still believe that there needs to be something done, that our system isn't perfect. Whether they're for the union at this point, what I think is all the players talk and respect each other's decisions."
Safety Traveon Henry said he's not sure which way the team is leaning. He said Colter is "still trying to get this done" and is "very strong about it."
"He's trying to protect the players," Henry added.
The question is which way they'll vote. Ellis knows which way he's leaning.
"Yeah, there's flaws in any organization," he said. "Give me an organization that doesn't have a flaw and I want to go work there. I feel like that doesn't happen. The NCAA is an organization. Northwestern is an organization. Nothing's perfect. However, there are organizations that treat their people amazing."
He understands that the situation for players at other schools might not be as good as it is at Northwestern, that he and his teammates could essentially take the bullet for them by voting to unionize.
"I thought that's what it was," Ellis said. "We were presented as this was not about Northwestern, this is not about what we have here."
So while Northwestern could serve as a "blueprint" for other schools, he doesn't think it's worth "risking what I love here" and "hurting relationships." He believes the players would be better off working with coach Pat Fitzgerald and athletic director Jim Phillips, a sentiment that Siemian expressed earlier in the week.
"Everybody's intent is with the best of heart," Ellis said. "Everybody's trying to create change in a positive way for student-athletes. In that respect, I'm proud of everybody. I'm proud of Kain. I'm proud of what they're trying to accomplish."
Fitzgerald also has encouraged his players to vote against forming a union, saying the concerns can be addressed through communication. But he's not necessarily against change.
"I believe that there are mechanisms for change, and I think it's been well-documented that I am an advocate for change," Fitzgerald said. "I just don't believe that unionization is the way to go."

OpinionLiberals must talk about God and country with heart A growing consensus agrees the GOP is too radical to be taken seriously - this is the time to reclaim the rhetoric. 14 May 2012 15:54 GMT | Politics It is not impossible to be both religious and liberal, and now may be the time for the left to say so [GALLO/GETTY]About the Author John Stoehr John Stoehr's writing has appeared in American Prospect, Reuters, the Guardian, Dissent, the New York Daily News and The Forward. He is a frequent contributor to the New Statesman and a columnist for the Mint Press News. @johnastoehr Story highlightsNew Haven, CT - I was thinking about how 2012 is a good time for liberals to reclaim the rhetoric of patriotism and religion that they ceded to conservatives over 40 years ago when an acquittance invited me to contribute to his publication. It's called The Point and it's a fantastic journal of culture and politics out of Chicago. Its website has a spot for what he and his colleagues call "Points". These are mini-essays that get you thinking about something vital. As it happened, I was watching YouTube footage of William F Buckley and Gore Vidal tetchily trading views of the Chicago police riots of 1968. They were witnessing a pivotal moment in American political history - the foundational crack-up of the Democratic Party.New Haven, CT - I was thinking about how 2012 is a good time for liberals to reclaim the rhetoric of patriotism and religion that they ceded to conservatives more than 40 years ago, when an acquaintance invited me to contribute to his publication. It's called The Point and it's a fantastic journal of culture and politics out of Chicago. Its website has a spot for what he and his colleagues call "Points". These are mini-essays that get you thinking about something vital. As it happened, I was watching YouTube footage of William F Buckley and Gore Vidal tetchily trading views of the Chicago police riots of 1968. They were witnessing a pivotal moment in US political history - the foundational break-up of the Democratic Party. Just before, but mostly afterward, the party was breaking along factional lines we still see today: the anti-war New Left, the flight of white southerners to the Republican Party and the beginning of the Democratic leadership's abandonment of the working class.What struck me was how different their exchange was, compared with today's talking heads (though they were indeed a pair of proto-talking heads). For one thing, they spoke in paragraphs, not tweets. They didn't use talking points, cliches, slogans or whatever counts for legitimate debate now. And that's the point: They took this seriously. There were stakes. "Sensibility is almost entirely absent from today's punditry. There's a lot of posturing and preening, but most of it is theatrical and most of that is from conservatives." They were well-known public intellectuals by this time: Buckley as the founder of the National Review, Vidal as a novelist, screenwriter and essayist. This wasn't a notch in their respective curriculum vitae. TV was still novel to these men. And besides, how could the stakes be higher? The legitimacy of the republic was cast into doubt after the police attacked US citizens.Back then, politics was not entertainmentThe seriousness of the moment was underscored by a brief burst of pettiness. At one point, Buckley interrupts Vidal, who responds: "Shut up a minute." Buckley says he won't shut up and then says that law enforcement has a right to "ostracise" those US citizens who encourage others to shoot US marines. That's when Vidal calls Buckley out: "As far as I'm concerned, the only pro- or crypto-Nazi here is yourself." To which, Buckley gives as good as he got: "Now listen, you queer. You stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I'll sock you in the goddamn face and you'll stay plastered."As I say, it was petty, but it was also illustrative of much larger themes. No one is neutral on a moving train, as it were. The texture of US society was fundamentally changing and even figures as sophisticated as Buckley and Gore were not immune to that era's spasms of upheaval. And their ad hominem moment said something else, something about our political moment. They disagreed, but disagreeing didn't prevent them from engaging each other in intimate combat. Face to face. Mano-a-mano.This sensibility is almost entirely absent from today's punditry. There's a lot of posturing and preening, but most of it is theatrical and most of that is from conservatives. Rush Limbaugh blusters and bloviates behind a microphone. Sean Hannity carps and snipes in front of a camera. Buckley and Gore were a lot of things - Buckley was kind of fascist and Gore, who claims bisexuality, was often an irritating gadfly - but they were not showman. This was not entertainment. Politics was significant. As significant as getting your face pushed in by your ideological foe.Talking about God and country with heart and gutsThat was my "Point" for The Point. They don't make conservatives like Bill Buckley anymore. No matter what you thought, you had to admire a guy who smiled while fighting. As effete and stuffy as he was, there was seamless swagger to Buckley, a rare kind of muted machismo.While liberals aren't as guilty of showmanship as conservatives (Keith Olbermann is the exception), they are as guilty of not taking politics seriously. Conservatives often resort to name-calling in the absence of debate, but liberals ignore whole categories of discussion. Like patriotism and religion. I suspect the reason is discomfort with talking about them, and I suspect that that's partly because they don't want to risk sounding like conservatives. "By not talking about patriotism and religion, and by not talking about God and country with heart and guts, liberals needlessly allow themselves to be discredited with accusations of being un-American and godless." Well, it's time we got over that.By not talking about patriotism and religion, and by not talking about God and country with heart and guts, liberals needlessly allow themselves to be discredited with accusations of being un-American and godless. Yes, many liberals - especially the educated secular northeast breed - are critical of US hegemony and have little affinity for Christ, but neither precludes fealty to the flag and at least lip-service to God. While liberal ideals such as liberty, equality and justice for all are terribly important, they are terribly abstract. If you want to win people over with your ideas, you have to strike where emotions run hot. That means getting over your quaint discomfort with patriotism and religion, and wrapping your ideals in the rhetoric of red meat.If pragmatism doesn't sway you, consider this historical moment. Conservatism began ascending partly as a reaction to the 1960s, but also as a reaction to the Democratic Party's and liberalism's crack-up. Now it's the GOP's turn. There is a growing consensus that it is too radical to be taken seriously, making their appeals to God and country sound hollow. This is a good time to reclaim that rhetorical terrain. Here are some suggestions:Patriotism Republicans have pledged never to raise taxes. Fine. Then they don't care about America. Schools, roads and other investments in our country don't happen on their own. Those who do pay taxes and want others to pay their fair share are patriotic. Anyone who sends his money off-shore, as Republican Mitt Romney does, is not a patriot. Worse, he has paid $2 million since 2000 in taxes to foreign countries, where he hides his money from the IRS. Live Box 20121816112138306 Religion Republicans who scapegoat the poor, the vulnerable and the sick are not Christian (or from any religion that respects the pre-Christian doctrine of the Golden Rule). Christ didn't turn his back on them. Why should we? Most religious arguments in favour of some kind of conservative objective can be countered with religious arguments. Gay marriage? The Sermon on the Mount. Abortion? The primacy of the conscience. Free market theology? My brother's keeper. In general, when a conservative proposal is socially exclusive, dehumanising or otherwise cold-blooded, bring up Jesus.Otherwise, man up There was a time when conservatives were the tough guys and liberals the crybabies. Conservatives went to war while liberals stayed home to protest. That was a misconception, obviously, but a popular one. Now conservatives are more likely to cry, literally. Glenn Beck's show of tears became so influential that even House Speaker John Boehner cried. Conservatives are now in the habit of bewailing everything, making constructive debate nearly impossible. So it's time liberals start taunting conservatives for their crybaby ways. Yeah, it's tough living in a pluralist society with competing views and values, but that's life. Get over it. Can the complaints and get to work.

Dancehall-reggae firebrand Francheno is generating a huge buzz in Central and South America with his latest single, the controversial anti-cop anthem, Babylon Leave I Alone.
The song is currently sitting in the number-six spot of the Black Music Reggae charts, which is compiled weekly on MIX 94.3 FM in Costa Rica, and number five on the WRIP reggae charts, compiled weekly in the capital city Tegucigalpa, in Honduras.
"The Babylon Leave I Alone single is doing well in those countries, I think because they identify with the song because of the high level of police brutality in those states. Jamaica has similar problems with a corrupt police force which does not hesitate to use deadly force against its citizens. Right now, it's a favourite of many of my fans worldwide. I'm very thankful to Jah and my fans for this," Francheno said.
reaping success
He recently released a video which has been in rotation on HYPE, RE, CVM and MD TV. He recently appeared on CVM at Sunrise, FIWI Choice Top 10 and HYPE TV as he amps up promotion on the single.
Francheno is also reaping success with another single, Life Set A Way, a conscious reggae song that asks tough philosophical questions of the world leaders.
"The success ofLife Set A Way has been awesome, because this life is a challenge for many people and this song gives them a voice. I'm happy to see that this song is doing so well in Bermuda and Antigua, I am getting calls for dubs, but no shows as yet," he said.
He is booked to perform in Guyana and on the Portland Curry Fest in June. "The sales have been going well on reggae iTunes in Central America, the people love the cultural vibe," he said.

Is Medicaid a Welfare Program? April 25, 2011
By Josh Barro
Earlier this month, Matt Yglesias criticized Paul Ryan for characterizing the sharp Medicaid cuts in his budget plan as "welfare reform." Yglesias notes that while a majority of Medicaid beneficiaries are low-income adults and children, a majority of expenditures are for long-term care of elderly and disabled people. (Even if you are old enough to be eligible for Medicare, nursing home expenses are still paid by Medicaid.)
I have previously criticized Ryans proposed Medicaid cuts as too steep, and I also agree that Medicaids long term care beneficiaries dont fit the welfare reform model—its unlikely that the availability of government-funded nursing care is whats keeping them out of the workforce. But this doesnt mean that the nursing care component of Medicaid should be off the table, or that we shouldnt hope to obtain significant savings from reforming it.
Medicaids long term care benefit is already supposed to be means-tested—so, yes, it is a welfare program of sorts. If you are wealthy, the expectation is that you will spend down your own assets on nursing care before the state steps in to pick up the tab. But in practice, some individuals can use creative strategies to shelter assets and qualify for Medicaid before they are truly poor. In New York, "spousal refusal" is a particular problem, where a husband or wife refuses to pay for a spouses nursing care needs, keeping marital assets while Medicaid pays nursing home bills.
Yglesias notes that even if youre not getting long term care benefits from Medicaid, "you very likely have a parent or grandparent who does and whose financial needs will simply tend to fall on you if the program is cut." Depending on what family we are talking about, is that necessarily so bad? Shouldnt affluent families pay for their own long term care needs (or carry long term care insurance) instead of expecting the government to do so? Tightening eligibility rules so that the burden of long term care falls more on families that can afford it and less on the government seems like an appropriate move to me.
Its also important to note that while Medicaid reimbursement rates for medical services tend to be low, this is not necessarily the case with long term care. In New York, a Citizens Budget Commission study in 2007 found that the state was paying Medicaid rates to nursing home operators 29 percent above the national average. Eliminating that disparity would save the state $735 million a year, and the federal government over $900 million. Indeed, when E.J. McMahon and I made recommendations in 2010 on trimming New Yorks budget, nearly all the Medicaid savings we proposed came from the long term care side of the program.
The availability of such savings are another good reason to block-grant Medicaid; currently, states make decisions about plan structure and enforce plan rules, but when they cut reimbursement rates or reduce fraud they only get to keep part of the savings. Block granting would provide states better incentives to manage Medicaid finances well. That applies to Medicaid both as a low-income health insurance program and as a long term care program.

Stephon Tuitt an ND recruit -- again
Notre Dame football coach Brian Kelly changed Stephon Tuitt's mind -- again -- a day after the heralded recruit took back his verbal promise to the Fighting Irish and committed to Georgia Tech.
ESPNChicago.com Colleges blog
The latest news and notes on the local college scene. Blog
As of late Wednesday night, the 6-foot-5, 260-pound defensive end is Irish once again.
Kelly, defensive coordinator Bob Diaco, recruiting coordinator Chuck Martin and defensive line coach Mike Elson visited Tuitt, a four-star athlete, Wednesday at his home in Monroe, Ga.
"I feel like I got some things off my chest," Tuitt told IrishSportsDaily.com. "Some things about the college and some of the little things and big things. They answered all my questions. I finally have some closure. I'm 100 percent."
Hours before the meeting with the Notre Dame contingent, Tuitt confirmed his pledge to the Yellow Jackets with Georgia Tech coaches.
With Tuitt, Kelly and Co. have pieced together one of the top defensive classes in decades at Notre Dame, one that includes Aaron Lynch (DE) and Ishaq Williams (OLB).

About 60,000 could lose homes for controversial China dams
BEIJING (Reuters) - China expects 60,000 people to lose their homes in the remote southwest if a series of four dams along the country's last free-flowing river gets the go-ahead, a local official said on Thursday in the first government estimate for relocations.
Outgoing Premier Wen Jiabao, a geologist by trade and populist by instinct, vetoed the dams in Yunnan province on the UNESCO-protected Nu River, known outside China as the Salween, in 2005, after an outcry from environmentalists.
But in late January, the government unexpectedly announced that dam building would resume, with the Nu River high on the list for development.
Qin Guangrong, Yunnan's Communist Party chief, told reporters on the sidelines of China's annual meeting of parliament that work had not yet begun.
But Li Siming, head of the prefecture along the Myanmar border where the dams would be built, said the prefecture had already begun looking at how to relocate people.
"The initial estimate is that 60,000 people will have to be relocated," Li told Reuters. Most are from the ethnic Lisu minority.
"We've not yet got to the stage of working out where they will be relocated to. There are no details yet on whether the projects will even happen," he added. "There are limited amounts of land."
China relocated 1.3 million people during the 17 years it took to complete the massive, $59 billion Three Gorges Dam, built in a much more heavily populated area in central China.
Li, an ethnic Lisu himself, said the environmental impact assessment had not been completed and he did not know when construction might start.
"The whole process, from the central government to the provincial government to the prefectural government, will be open to the public - it's part of the policy of 'letting the light shine on the government'," he said.
Environmentalists have long complained about the lack of transparency about the dam project.
"The problem is that for a matter that has provoked concern from the international community, they have never held a hearing before," Wang Yongchen, an environmentalist who has long campaigned for the Nu River, told Reuters recently.
Li said that most residents supported the dam project, but added that "a minority" did not.
"If we see that development of hydropower resources on the Nu River will not benefit the local people, then we will not do it," he said.
Li sounded uncertain, however, when asked if he personally supported the project.
"I grew up along the Nu River. How to protect it, how to develop it, how to use it, I have my own opinions on that," he said. "I'm a local boy: we've always relied on the land, and the water.
"As head of the prefecture, I'm always thinking about how to protect the land but also how to use it. This is always on my mind... It's not about whether I personally support it or not." (Reporting by Ben Blanchard; Editing by Nick Macfie)

BSkyB Engineering Chief Emphasizes Need to Get Ultra HD Right Ahead of Launch
"It has to be something consumers want to have," said Chris Johns during a recent address in London.
UK pay TV broadcaster Sky has no imminent Ultra HD launch plans but is nonetheless examining delivery options, which include over the internet rather than traditional satellite.
During a recent address in London, Chris Johns, chief engineer, broadcast strategy at BSkyB, emphasized the need to ensure that when Sky does launch into 4K, it is done right.
"We've no plans to launch a UHD service at this point in time," he stated. "It is still very early days. With HD we went through a two year test period. With 3D it was 18 months. We are still at that early phase so that when we are able to deliver a 'beyond HD' viewing experience we can deliver a high quality one."
ANALYSIS: The Future of 3D TV and Why ESPN Dropped Its Pioneering Channel
A chief contention is that in tests Sky has made to date at soccer matches in 4K, it has been unable to truly understand what is needed in terms of frame rate to overcome motion blur. "All the available 4K displays that we are using are 30Hz or less, when we need, at the very least 50fps, for sports and arguably higher," he said.
Johns referred to "beyond HD" rather than Ultra HD, preferring to keep Sky's delivery options open. Indeed over-the-air Ultra HD transmission may be surpassed in terms of timeframe by IP delivery to the home.
"What is the best medium to deliver the future of TV? In less than eight years Sky has gone from SD to HD, small to big screen, linear to on-demand, 2D to 3D and basic compression to efficient codecs," he said.
"Something beyond HD might have no interlace, more resolution, finer pixels and these are all great. But what else is there? It has to deliver a new viewing experience. It has to be something consumers want to have," Johns explained, adding that the experience has to have a range of content from the start, not just a couple of shows a week.
"It also has to have improved motion portrayal and it has to have dynamic range," Johns said. "You are missing an evolutionary technical step if you don't deliver that treat to the eyeballs. More color is a nice to have but will only enhance the experience of certain sequences of certain programs [general views in travel shows for example]."
"We also need to think about audio and matching it to the visual perhaps in terms of new object-based technology which manipulates the audio according to the environment you are sitting in," he said. "In addition, and very importantly, it needs to be cost effective from cameras to compression."
"If we are able to deliver it all in 2014 then great," he added. "But there are many elements to solve. The question for today is how far have we gone with some of those elements for the next generation of visual experience to the customer."
