Sheldon Adelson, a Gingrich backer, has a big wallet and is funding Israel's right-wing media.
JERUSALEM — As more and more people wonder how long Newt Gingrich will persevere against the growing inevitability of a Mitt Romney victory, one man appears to be holding firm: Sheldon Adelson, the Las Vegas casino mogul who just poured another $5 million into Gingrich's coffers.
Superficially, the two men appear to have little in common. Gingrich, 69, is a lifelong politician and consummate Washington insider whose trajectory has famously taken him through three wives and three religious renderings: the Lutheranism of his birth, the adaptable Southern Baptism of most of his adult life, and now, a Bible-thumping new Catholicism.
Adelson, 78, born to Jewish Ukrainian immigrants in Dorchester, Mass., crawled his way out of the New England working class and, in addition to his vast wealth, is known for a stable and enduring second marriage to Miriam Ochshorn Adelson, with whom he has two children.
She is apparently the key to the one subject that links the two men, the country of her birth, Israel.
More from GlobalPost: Israel could unilaterally attack Iran, analysts warn
According to most reports, Adelson got to his mid-fifties before ever really thinking about Israel. Then, a single trip to the Jewish homeland changed his life. When he got back to the United States, the divorced Adelson started telling friends he was interested in meeting an Israeli wife. A mutual friend set him up with Miriam, a physician and expert on addictions. Together they have developed two principal enduring passions and philanthropic commitments: centers for the treatment of drug addicts, and Israel.
The Adelsons have always maintained a mainstream but clearly right-wing line regarding Israel. They are major supporters of the American Israel Political Action Committee, of Birthright, an organization that brings Jewish youth on "roots" trip to Israel, and they love Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's conservative prime minister, as well as Gingrich, who has long been a fervent defender of Israel.
Not much is known about Gingrich in Israel, but it is thanks to support from Adelson that, in Israeli media reports, he is almost universally referred to as "Netanyahu's friend." There is no public information confirming an actual bond between the prime minister and the former speaker of the House, but Netanyahu is, coincidentally, a thrice-married politician known for a messy personal life and for playing to his religious and conservative base.
And both men benefit greatly from Adelson's support.
More from GlobalPost: Republican primaries: The view from Israel
It was in order to help a future Netanyahu candidacy that Adelson, in 2007, established Israel Hayom (Israel Today) a daily tabloid newspaper that quickly rose to have the widest circulation in the country. The newspaper was founded on the conviction, widespread among the Israeli right-wing since Netanyahu's first term in office in the mid-90s, that the media held a deep-seated antipathy to Netanyahu.
A much-repeated rumor, impossible to verify, has it that Adelson has told Israeli friends he is happy to lose even $150 or $200 million dollars on the venture.
Conservative estimates hold that for now, he has lost at least several tens of millions of dollars. The paper boasts an extensive and expensive list of journalists and analysts, it is printed in massive quantities and distributed widely and for free, yet it does not display advertising in sufficient quantities to offset significant costs. It is a rich man's luxury.
Israelis uncomfortable with the paper's big shadow have bestowed it with a jokey moniker, Bibiton, a play on Netanyahu's nickname, Bibi, and on the Hebrew word for newspaper, Iton.
On Thursday, new revelations about just how deeply Netanyahu is entwined with the Adelson's newspaper came to light, and now threaten to blow open an unsavory, and perhaps illegal, link between the American billionaire and the prime minister.
Israel's Channel 10 revealed Wednesday night that Dror Eydar, a media columnist for the Adelson-owned daily, who frequently pens irate articles accusing the Israeli media of an anti-Netanyahu bias, is simultaneously on the prime minister's payroll, as a speechwriter and adviser.
This is the first indication that a direct connection may exist between the prime minister's staff and the paper, which while right-wing and pro-Netanyahu, has always maintained a line of neutrality.
It remains unclear just how much the scandal will affect one of the largest media outlets in the

Listen to Black Agenda Radio on the Progressive Radio Network, with Glen Ford and Nellie Bailey – Week of 12/2/13
LA Schools Overrun by Cops
The Los Angeles Unified School District is among the most heavily policed in the nation, with Black students 29 times more likely than white students to be charged with disturbing the peace. "Are they trying to set students up for success and education, or are they trying to set them up to go to prison?" asked Ashley Franklin, an organizer with the Labor Community Strategy Center and one of the authors of a report titled "Black, Brown and Over-Policed in LA Schools." Despite the heavy hand of the law, students have organized throughout the district. "Our youth have read their history and they're fighting back," said Franklin.
Charter Schools Increase Segregation
Studies show the spread of charter schools exacerbates economic and racial segregation, said Stan Karp, of New Jersey's Education Law Center. "Systematically, if you look at the demographics of the charter experiment, this is where you're finding the increase in segregation, higher attrition rates, and the different populations that are being served," said Karp, author of the recent Rethinking Schools article "How Charter Schools are Undermining Public Education." The privatizers are deceiving inner city parents. "Investors and business interests have been able to attach their agenda for market reform in education to the urgent needs of communities that have not been well served by the existing system."
African People's Socialist Party Holds 6th Congress
The struggles – and defeats – of the Sixties must be put in context in order to chart a course towards liberation in the future, said Omali Yeshitela, chairman of the African People's Socialist Party, which holds its 6th Congress in St. Petersburg, Florida, December 7 – 11. "We had a movement that was crushed" by state repression and assassinations, and "we're seeing the consequences of that defeat" in the corrupt Black leadership that has emerged over the past 40-plus years. "Occasional spontaneous outbreaks" of protest after incidents like the Trayvon Martin killing cannot "substitute for real revolutionary work," said Yeshitela.
Mumia: Where is Justice for the Living?
Mumia Abu Jamal, the nation's best known political prisoner, who is serving a life term in the 1981 death of a Philadelphia policeman, noted that the State of Alabama recently granted posthumous pardons to the 9 Scottsboro Boys, convicted in a 1931 "rape that never happened." Meanwhile, the four Black women and five men of the Move 9 are in the 35th year of prison sentences in the death of a Philadelphia policeman. "In 2058, will a future governor declare them pardoned, and grant them symbolic justice?" asked Abu Jamal, with deep sarcasm. "Justice delayed is still justice denied."

Why Black Liberals Need to Reclaim The Black Agenda From The Black Church
by Yvette Carnell
The Black Church's central role in the African American Freedom Movement, is a myth. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "himself lamented the 'apathy of the Negro ministers' and their interpretation of Christianity," writes the author. In fact, "the presence of culture crusaders, who substitute morality wars for politics, has a demobilizing impact on black movement politics."

"When Other Folks Give Up Theirs…" Black Freedom and the Gun Control Debate
Akinyele Umoja
Contrary to Congressman John Lewis' revision of history, "the notion that the Civil Rights movement was exclusively nonviolent is a popular mythology." In fact, "Some members of Lewis's Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee picked up weapons and worked with community people to defend their lives against white terrorists."
Perhaps Black People Should Stop Expecting Equality
by Dr. Boyce Watkins
Dr. Watkins, an esteemed author, economist and social commentator, has seen the error of his ways. He has been wrong to argue that President Obama be made accountable to Black people, his most ardent supporters. Instead, Blacks should be accountable to the president. "Only whites, Jews, gays, women, labor groups and illegal immigrants are allowed to expect anything from the president."
Black Secularists and The Church
by Benjamin Woods
African American mythology tells us that the Black Freedom Movement was born in the church. That's because "the Black church has had better propagandists than Black freethinkers." But freethinkers also populate the liberation pantheon, while the church has sometimes proven an obstacle to the Movement.

Burt Rutan to Keynote Mentor Graphics 21st Annual International User Conference
WILSONVILLE, Ore., Feb. 10, 2005 - Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced that registration is open for its 21st annual international User2User conference, aimed at designers of leading electronics. User2User 2005 will be held April 27-29 at the Santa Clara Marriott in Santa Clara, Calif. The event will feature two keynote speakers. Aviation pioneer Burt Rutan, chief designer of SpaceShipOne, the world's first private manned spacecraft, will present the first keynote. SpaceShipOne earned the $10 million Ansari X-Prize for its two successful launches into space within a 14-day time frame. The second keynote speaker will be Michael Sander of NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratories (JPL). Sander leads the JPL efforts in support of the new NASA Exploration Initiative. In addition, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman of the Discovery Channel's MythBusters will also make an appearance.
User2User 2005 will offer attendees the opportunity to interact directly with other Mentor tool users, technology experts, partners and tools. It will feature approximately 170 technical presentations, many by users from companies and government agencies such as NASA, Sun, Motorola, Nokia, Mitsubishi, Samsung, Lucent and Freescale.

PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. -- The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office is still seeking suspects in a series of golf cart thefts.
The latest theft occurred last weekend. Unknown suspects cut the fence surrounding the Prescott Country Club (PCC) storage yard and stole an electric maintenance cart sometime between Saturday evening and Sunday morning, according to YCSO spokesman Dwight D'Evelyn.
The cart was later found in the Agua Fria riverbed adjacent to Quailwood Estates in Prescott Valley.
Later on Sunday, sheriff's deputies were called to the 10900 block of Singletree Trail in the Prescott Country Club where residents reported seeing two suspicious males near their homes around 5:30 a.m. One resident found that his fence had been recently damaged.
Deputies believe these suspects were involved in both the recent and prior thefts of electric carts from the PCC and Quailwood golf courses.
One of the suspects was described as male, about 6 feet tall, wearing a dark blue jacket, dark green pants, black stocking cap and displaying a knife sheath on his right thigh. The second suspect was only described as slightly shorter, wearing dark clothes, including a jacket.
Deputies recovered evidence from the area, including burglary tools.
D'Evelyn said some of the recovered carts have been found with structural damage from being ridden off-road and the greens themselves have been damaged from being driven on while frosted over.
Sheriff's deputies believe suspects are starting the carts with duplicate keys as owners have not been leaving keys in the ignition.
Sheriff's officials remind residents to report suspicious activity immediately.
Anyone with information regarding these ongoing thefts is urged to call the sheriff's office at 928-771-3260 or Yavapai Silent Witness at 1-800-932-3232 to remain anonymous.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines a "Utopia" as "[a] place, state, or condition ideally perfect in respect of politics, laws, customs, and conditions." The original terms, of course, derives from Sir Thomas More's 1516 book, Utopia, which describes how such a place would be run.
Today, when we talk about utopian spaces, we generally refer to safe-havens perfectly suited for people who have been given a raw deal by society. Early in Mormon history, Joseph Smith and his followers attempted to build utopian spaces in Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois. Later, Brigham Young and the pioneers tried again in Utah and its surrounding regions. In each case, the Saints tragically came up short.
Today, the Mormon utopian dream is a dream deferred, although remnants of it still exist prominently in practices like tithing, temple work, service, Church welfare, and home and visiting teaching. While these practices do much to ease the burdens of the persecuted and create a more utopian space, they are not perfect. Zion is yet to be redeemed.
In "realistic" fiction, utopian spaces occasionally pop up. For instance, in John Steinbeck's classic Depression-era novel The Grapes of Wrath, the Joad family visits the Weedpatch Camp, an idyllic government-run haven for migrant workers in California. For the Joads, as well as for Steinbeck's readers, the Weedpatch Camp presents the perfect remedy for the squalid living conditions, abuses, and exploitations that workers were then subjected to. The suggestion is that if there were more places like the Weedpatch Camp, families like the Joads would be able to stay together and survive.
In many ways, the Weedpatch Camp episode injects much needed hope and idealism in an otherwise bleak novel. At the same time, however, something about Steinbeck's depiction of it makes it seem a little too perfect and idyllic—and that kind of perfection is suspicious to me. As a reader, I'm happy that the Joads find a clean, safe place to stay for a while. But, at the same time, I also want a whole picture. What's the other side to the Weedpatch Camp?
My point is this: perfect places don't exist in this life—not since the days of Enoch, at least—and safe-havens are impermanent and not without dangers of their own. When we begin to believe otherwise, the pessimist in me says, we take our first steps toward disillusionment. I think this is true in real life and in realistic fiction. In my opinion, unproblematic utopian spaces in fiction are usually cop-outs, easy-outs for authors who wish to avoid complexity.
As Mormons, following the words of Lehi, we believe that nothing exists—at least for now—without opposition. Our goal for mortal life, therefore, is not to be rid of opposition, but to exist well despite of it. This means that everything we do or are, every space we make, will be imperfect, subject to dissolution. Real spaces are flawed.
Although I recognize that writers often use utopian spaces powerfully in fiction, particularly in political works, I think realistic Mormon fiction ought to avoid them—especially when they're meant to be uniquely Mormon. Otherwise, it runs the risk of becoming the worst kind of fiction—propaganda that seeks to "pacify, and lull [readers] away into carnal security," leading them to believe either that "All is well in Zion" or that "All is Well but in Zion." I've read Mormon fiction of both types.
Besides, I think the longing and striving for Utopia or Zion is far more interesting than the achievement of it–at least in fiction. The Bellamysian Utopia at the end of Added Upon is nice, and fascinating in a lot of ways, but not as compelling as the flawed utopian efforts depicted in novels like Virginia Sorensen's A Little Lower than the Angels and Margaret Young's Salvador.
Note: A slightly shorter, slightly different version of this post appeared about a year ago on my personal Mormon literature blog.

What case did the president make for reform Wednesday night? Not a very persuasive one, in my view. For me, the big takeaway from President Obama's press conference was that finally—finally—he revealed what this year-long exercise has been about. Whether viewers caught it among all the rhetoric was another matter. For the most part, learning anything specific took a lot of listening between the lines of his sometimes long, rambling, and off-point answers. They left viewers in the dark about most major issues.
In his opening remarks, the president let slip that health reform at its core was about health insurance reform. After a few words about his Recovery Act, the president said "we must rebuild it (the economy) stronger than before. And health insurance reform is central to that effort." He did not say reform was fundamentally about covering the growing ranks of the uninsured, or making certain that insured people have enough coverage when serious illness strikes, or guaranteeing health care as a right without having to buy an insurance policy to pay for it.
For those who like their coverage, the president promised "more security and more stability." But employers provide the security and stability through the benefits they choose to offer. The government doesn't have control over that. He promised that reform "will keep government out of health care decisions." But insurance companies make those decisions now, and they will continue to do so under Obamacare.
For those without coverage and for small businesses, Obama said they could choose a "quality, affordable health plan" through a health insurance exchange, which he said was a marketplace that promoted choice and competition. Those Celinda Lake words again. No insurance company would be able to deny coverage for preexisting conditions, he noted, but he didn't mention that companies still might be able to charge older (and presumably sicker) people more money.
The individual mandate is central to health insurance reform efforts that would make carriers cover sick people. Insurers insist on a mandate which will require all Americans to have some kind of insurance, either through a government program, their employers, or policies bought on their own. But hardly anyone has mentioned the mandate, or how it would force cash-strapped citizens to either buy insurance or pay a tax penalty. Wednesday night the president did not tell ordinary Americans why the individual mandate was a good idea. There was only a cursory reference to it in response to a question from NBC's Chuck Todd, who asked how the president planned to expand coverage. The president said that the bill estimates that 97 or 98 percent of people would be covered, adding:
There might still be people left out there who, even though there's an individual mandate, even though they are required to purchase health insurance might still not get it or, despite a lot of subsidies, are still in such dire straits that it's still hard for them to afford it and we may end up giving them some sort of hardship exemption.
One thing the president did make clear was that his plan would not add to the deficit, and must also slow the growth of health care costs in the long run. His recipe for doing that: change payment incentives, so doctors and nurses can give the best care rather than the most expensive care, and transfer some authority for setting doctor fees to an independent agency, in order to help eliminate some of the politics that inevitably surround payment decisions. It's hard to say whether people really understood what all that meant. His pledge to refrain from increasing the deficit raised the thorny problem of paying for subsidies needed to help the uninsured buy insurance. (About 85 percent of uninsured people will need them.) Here, there was little clarity.
The AP's Ben Feller asked whether the president had told House and Senate leaders how he wanted to pay for subsidies. "Are you willing to share that stand of yours with the American people?" Feller probed. The president digressed, offering a verbal tour of health care inflation. Then he mentioned his favored solution—limiting itemized deductions for rich people. "People like myself could take the same percentage deduction that middle class families do," he said, adding that he was open to other ideas. He said the House had suggested a surtax on those with incomes greater than $1 million, a solution that meets his principle of not burdening people who are already having a tough time. Exactly what he supports, he did not reveal.

More Formspring Questions!
1. Other than blogging, what it is that you do for a living? Well, my current career goal is to work for a corporate company as a PR/Communications specialist so I am working as an intern. I also attend fabulous parties, photo shoots, fashion shows and social media events which is basically a full time job in itself-who will pay me for this?? However, I pay the bills by serving tables a few nights a week. I'm not telling you where, though it is a very nice place.
2. How did you find your apartment? Is it reasonable for the area? I live in Vancouver's quiet and quaint West End. I have a junior one bedroom with a view of English Bay and pay a very reasonable amount, lower than what most places seem to be going for. I lucked out with my place! I found it by walking around the area looking for signs indicating availability, but I'm sure you could also find a lot on craigslist!
3. What are you biggest pet peeves? Hmm… I think probably inconsistency with people. For example, acting one way then acting polar opposite. I like consistency. That and when you're out for dinner with someone and they're rude to the server, not good.
4. Will you take pictures of your flat soon? And your closet? Sure, I can do that very soon for you! Keep checking back!
5. What are your favourite tv shows that you don't like to miss? Well, I don't watch much tv since I don't own one, but I love Gossip Girl, 60 Minutes and 20/20. I can also get pretty wrapped up in any of TLC's baking shows. OOOH and I love all the "Real Housewives" shows, can't wait for the DC version to air!
6. What radio station do you listen to? If it's on, it's probably tuned into the beat 94.5. I like dance music.
7. Have you met any other bloggers? Who? Are you talkin Vancouver bloggers? If so, then I would say just about all.
8. What's your favourite restaurant in Vancity? Oh, this is hard. I like so many for many different reasons. If I have to choose just one, then probably Joe Fortes, sitting on the patio with a cosmo and a steak. Mmmm.
9. Do you like twitter or facebook better for communicating? Twitter is great for connecting with the community, but Facebook is better for friends. Phone is best though.
10. What makes you nervous? Not knowing what I am going to wear to an important event, or not have a hand bag to match with my shoes for an important event. Trivial, I know, but that's me.
11. What's your favourite ice cream flavor? Chocolate!!
12. What is your target audience for your brand, StyleStruck or blog? Will it grow to be older as time goes on, or stay the same? Interesting question. I think my target audience is a woman between 18 and 30 who appreciate fashion as well as business. I hope to keep my current readers, so that as I get older and continue to blog, my readers will continue to follow me and read StyleStruck.ca.
13. Do you ever do online shopping? No, never have and am not likely to start. Shopping is my cardio and I really do prefer to try things on and see them in person.
14. Would you consider yourself a tidy or an unorganized person? Is your closet organized? I would say I can be a very organized person and that most of the time I am tidy. At the moment my closet is a bit of a mess since I am re-organizing everything as I ready my wardrobe for fall. (Though the time to pull on any sort of a sweater is still months away it seems.) I like to always be clean, but I can't say that I am always tidy.
15. How would you describe yourself in 3 words? Oh heavens, I don't know. I would hope others would say I am outgoing, friendly and stylish. I hope. And possibly a bit smart as well.
Well, that's it for now! I will answer more soon, thanks for asking!

Reirden Remains
According to the Post-Gazette, the Pittsburgh Penguins today announced that interim head coach Todd Reirden of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the AHL has been signed to a multi-year contract.
Reirden, who served as Dan Bylsma's assistant before his promotion, went 14-9-3 as interim head coach. He also led his team to the East Division Final, before losing to Hershey.
Jon Bombulie, had a collection of quotes from "Baby" Penguin players as they packed up for the summer. Here is what veteran Jeff Taffe had to say:
"It's a pretty great situation here with Dan (Bylsma) and Todd (Reirden). Obviously have to see if Todd's going to be sticking here. See what these guys have to say. It basically comes down to them. I've been here for two years now. I know the organization pretty well from that standpoint. I'd like to do that."
While the team remains committed to winning, the future could be different for Reirden's bunch.
In the past, the "Baby" Penguins filled out their roster with veterans, such as Taffe, Chris Minard, Janne Pesonen, and David Gove. But with up to nine rookies possibly on the verge of breaking into the AHL, Reirden's job may shift from guiding a veteran team through the playoffs to teaching a young group how to play a professional game.

Zombies and Superheroes! [3 comments]
Posted in Videos.
What happens when you combine zombies, superheroes, guns, blood, pretty girls and upbeat dance music?
The musical artist, Alex Day, is a good friend of mine – as is the guy who directed the music video, most of the zombies and the "female love interest".
But I wouldn't ever post anything just to promote friends; I legitimately think this video is super creative as well as expertly executed. The effects are cheesy, the costumes homemade – but that's where the charm lies.
They took the overdone zombie cliché, combined it with the ever growing superhero trend, and with that, created a product that transcends them both to highlight the most important thing of all… friendship. D'aww.

Tension was high in the Wolves' Den on Wednesday night as District 9 AA foe Brookville came to Kane to take on the Wolves.
The young Lady Wolves played well at times in Monday night's game against Bradford but a poor second quarter had Kane playing catch-up in a battle in the Wolves' Den. Bradford coach Bob Hannon started four seniors and a junior while Kane coach Dave Kiehl started two seniors, a junior and two freshmen.
Members of Kane's 2013 District 9 Girls' Golf Championship team are pictured along with the banner announcing their accomplishment. Pictured from left to right are Erin Paulson, Megan Durante, Ellie Tunall, Sarah Szymanski and coach Nathan Smith.
The Kane Wolves cheerleading squad competed Saturday in DuBois in the District 9 competitive cheering championships. Results are as followed: Tied for first - St. Marys Area and Keystone, third - Elk County Catholic, fourth - Redbank Valley, fifth - Karns City, sixth - Curwensville, seventh - DuBois Area, eighth - Punxsutawney, ninth - A-C Valley. Other schools that competed but did not place in the top nine were Bradford, Cranberry, and Kane.
Evan DeLong, pictured here during last year's PIAA State Tournament, is the No. 1 Class AA wrestler in Pennsylvania at 170 pounds, according to Off the Mat Rankings. DeLong finished second at last year's state tournament and is undefeated this season for the Wolves. Kane will travel to Coudersport on Tuesday to take on the Falcons, who also have a top-ranked wrestler in Kyle Bova at 160 pounds.
The Kane Lady Wolves used a hustling pressure defense to propel them to a 49-13 win over the visiting Ridgway Lady Elkers on Friday night. After a sluggish first quarter, the Lady Wolves outscored Ridgway 17-2 in the second quarter to break the game open.
RIDGWAY – Ridgway boys basketball used a late run in the second half to overtake Kane 44-29 in action Friday night at Ridgway Area High School. The Wolves would not go away for the first three quarters, trailing just 28-21 starting the fourth quarter.
Kane wrestling fans enjoyed a long night on Thursday in the Wolves' Den. Eleven varsity matches followed 10 middle school matches, along with eight middle school exhibition matches. The varsity Wolves trailed 18-9 at one point in the match with Clarion, but the home team took seven of the final nine matches to pull away with the 46-30 win.
Birds of prey have always been a fascination of mine. Just to drive down the road and get a glimpse of a red-tail hawk sitting on a branch, is a rush for me. Why do I get excited about a hawk sitting on a branch you might wonder. It's because the hawk just isn't sitting there doing nothing he, or she, is actually hunting. For a hawk, or most birds of prey, making a kill almost daily is a must for their survival.
Last year's PIAA runner-up Johnsonburg showed Friday night's crowd in the Wolves Den that the 2014 version is a darn good team. The Rams ran out to a big lead early and rolled to a 69-30 win.

Park surveys find that repeat visitors are rare, and so too are locals. German and French are more often heard along the Royal Palm boardwalk than the two most-used local tongues, English and Spanish.
Sagging attendance has been a factor in the Everglades budget dilemma since Congress six years ago authorized each park to retain 80 percent of gate admissions and concession fees. (The park entrance fee is now $10 per car.) Luring visitors with Indian-style alligator wrestling, or by salting the marshland with rutting moose, is not an option. But according to park spokesman Rick Cook, there are some potential attractions. One is the abandoned Cold War-era Nike missile base not far from the park's headquarters and main visitor center. The National Park Service wants to list it on the National Register of Historic Places. Unfortunately it's not much to contemplate now, however -- some underground bunkers and a few concrete block buildings that once housed nuclear-tipped Nike Hercules missiles, meant for Cuba; now they're honeycombed with wasp nests.
Another possibility are airboat tours, now forbidden in the park. Along the south side of Tamiami Trail (U.S. Route 41), the park's northern boundary, are three commercial swamp buggy businesses that are within the acreage the federal government is buying back as part of the restoration project. One or all of those operations could survive as a park-managed concession, says Cook.
Raising money for the park, and persuading locals that there is more to do in the Glades than swat bugs and be solicitous of alligators, is also one of the missions of the South Florida National Parks Trust, created just this year. "We want to integrate the park into the fabric of South Florida life," says Miami attorney T. Neal McAliley, one of fifteen South Floridians named to the trust's board of trustees by the Washington-based National Parks Foundation. Other trustees include chairman Robert Chisholm, a Miami architect; University of Miami law professor Mary Doyle, who served as counselor to the Secretary of the Interior in the Clinton administration; Miami advertising executive Leslie Pantin, Jr.; and noted environmentalist Nat Reed of Hobe Sound.
The trust does start out with some money in the bank -- $1.9 million, most of it collected in fines from Carnival Cruise Lines and Norwegian Cruise Lines as penalties for polluting nearby waters.
But McAliley, who before entering private practice litigated several environmental cases as a lawyer for the U.S. Justice Department, says the trust is not going to fork over that money to Finnerty and her staff simply to pay for more rangers, or to conduct pest control. "The purpose of the trust is not to make up for government shortfalls," he explains. "And we don't want to be just another environmental group which gets money and spends it."
Rather, what McAliley wants is to build in the local community an appreciation for the park that will generate both corporate grants and first-time visits. But he acknowledges it's a tough sell.
"[It] is never going to be a resort," grants McAliley, a 37-year-old native Miamian who grew up hiking, canoeing, and camping in the Glades. "There are some hardships involved, and some things you need to learn to enjoy it. I think one of the greatest attributes of the park is the silence, the serenity. Camping in the Everglades, I get a sense of peace and contentment I don't find anywhere else. And as South Florida gets more crowded and crazier, that becomes more important."
In keeping with his family tradition, McAliley will spend New Year's Eve with friends and relatives at Flamingo, not camping this time but staying instead in a no-frills $95-a-night room. He acknowledges the lack of luxury. "There is water there, and it's ... warm," he laughs. "But I don't go there to stay in a hotel room. I go to the park to see nature, and it's there in spades."

On Sunday, June 11, the 2006 Mayor's Cup Roller Hockey Championships were held at Garvey Park in Dorchester.
Yes, the sun indeed finally showed itself to Bostonians which allowed City of Boston Recreation Department staff, after four postponements, to finally crown this year's champs. Teams from Southie, girls and boys, competed in all of the age brackets and had a great time.
Paul Stewart, a former NHL official, came by the park to present the city's recreation department with a check for $7,500 in support of this highly-regarded city endeavor. The donation was from the Bruins Foundation and the Bill Stewart Foundation.
Recreation Department Deputy Director David Burnes was also present and happy to see the kids busy and the public-private partnership alive and well
"On behalf of Mayor Thomas Menino, I would like to thank Paul Stewart, as well as the Bill Stewart and the Bruins Foundations for their generosity," said Burnes. "It's important to keep the kids involved and this can be done with this help, and truly shows how important these public-private partnerships are to everyone."

5 Ways For Stay-At-Home Moms To Save Their Sanity
Some ideas? Bring them to the ice cream shop after their Saturday morning tasks are complete. Take them out to a Friday night movie. Go for a picnic lunch at their favorite park or a swim at the local pool. Celebrate their accomplishments by going out to dinner as a family.
3. Delegate, delegate, delegate. No, you are not slacking off on your job if you give others chores to do. In fact, for your children, you are helping them grow to be happier as adults. A 40-year Harvard University study followed 456 children over a 40 year period. Those that were assigned chores from an early age grew into adults that were more successful in their careers and marriages and lived healthier, happier lives than those who did not have chores.
Some tasks kids can do include: vacuuming, taking out the garbage, dusting their rooms, watering the plants, making their beds, wiping the windows clean, walking the dog, emptying the dishwasher, setting the table ... you get the idea.
4. Use five minute segments to get tasks done. Don't wait for that block of 2 free hours to magically appear so you can clean out all your kitchen cupboards, fold the week's worth of laundry, or clean the bathrooms. It won't come. Grab that five minutes that does come your way every day.
Wipe out one kitchen cupboard while you wait for the coffee to brew. Fold the laundry as soon as it comes out of the dryer. (It will only take you 2 minutes more now, yet half an hour later because now you have to iron what wrinkled while it sat scrunched in the pile waiting for you to fold it) Wash out the bathroom sinks while you are talking on the phone with your friend.
5. Schedule time to have fun. That's right. You should schedule fun. You need fun times to re-energize. If you don't fit in time to enjoy your life, no one else will. Think of things that de-stress you, then schedule those things into your week first. Work everything else around that time.
Do you love going for lunch with a friend? Schedule a friend each Friday morning for a meeting at a nearby eatery. Do you want to learn how to swim like an Olympian? Sign up for swimming class. Love taking warm bubble baths while listening to soothing music? Make a date with yourself, your bath, and a "do not disturb" sign on your bathroom door.
It's your job as a stay-at-home mom to take care of others, but it's also your job to take care of yourself. Putting yourself first and finding ways to make your life less stressful is not about being selfish, it's about giving. Giving to yourself allows you to be a better mom because you will be happier, more fulfilled and more energized. And that's a mom any child would love to have. Why Persistent Parenting Pays Off

has any one got step sheets for moonlight swing danced to alan jacksons there goes
Helen Hot Heels - 08/06/2001
I agree with Roni! It is great fun. I have even acquired a whip just to add a little bit of sparkle! The phrasing is very cleverly done as it fits in with every section of the music and you are very unlikely to dance the wrong piece at the wrong time. Well done!
Cynthia Wood - 03/06/2001
Love the music but found the dance a little complicated. We now do the 'Deadwood Stomp' from your dance database. This is a shorter, easier, just as much fun alternative...and you don't have to remember the tags! Your dance database came up trumps yet again, providing alternatives and a choice. Keep up the good work.
Roni Ashton - 26/05/2001
fantastic fun everyone loves it I just wish the song was longer so we could keep doing it!


text: Like the title says, can I drive a low power PSC motor with a VFD, assuming I remove the start cap? I realize the start winding is probably 90 degrees out of phase rather than 120, but will it work? It's for low cost speed control of a PSC circulator pump. I can get the VFD's for about $30 or so. A true variable speed PSC control is MUCH more expensive.

Warren Sapp: Incognito Used Slur, Kicked me
Posted By Seth Moed On November 6, 2013 @ 8:07 PM In NFL,Sports Media | No Comments
[1]Hall of Fame defensive tackle Warren Sapp said Wednesday that embattled Miami Dolphins offensive linemen Richie Incognito used a racial slur and kicked him during a 2006 game when Sapp was playing for the Oakland Raiders and Incognito for the St. Louis Rams.
"He kicked me and called me the N-word," Sapp, who will join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' ring of honor on Monday night, said on "The Dan Patrick Show." "I looked at him and said, 'You want me to slap you in the mouth, so they throw me out of the game.' I said I got a better plan. I'm going to assault your quarterback and they're going to cut your a–."
"It's the trenches. Some guys teeter right on that edge. But Richie? Nobody's ever had a question that Richie was a dirtbag."

Robert Arthur "Bobby" Allison (born December 3, 1937) is a former NASCAR Winston Cup driver and owner, named one of NASCAR's 50 greatest drivers.[1] His two sons, Clifford and Davey Allison, followed him into racing, and both died within a year of each other.
Early life[edit]
Allison was born December 3, 1937 in Miami, Florida. He entered his first race as a senior at Archbishop Curley-Notre Dame High School in Miami, but was asked to quit by his father. After high school in 1955, Allison took his brother, Donnie, and some friends along on a quest for more lucrative racing than was available in south Florida. His searching led him to the Montgomery Speedway in Montgomery, Alabama, where he was told of a race that very night in Midfield, Alabama near Birmingham. Allison entered and won that race, along with two other races that week. He had found his lucrative racing. The brothers set up shop in Hueytown, Alabama with another friend (Red Farmer), and they began answering to the name Alabama Gang. Bobby Allison worked as a mechanic and an engine tester, but eventually became a driver and won the national championship in the modified special division in 1962.[1]
NASCAR career[edit]
Allison moved to the Grand National circuit in 1965[1] and got his first victory at Oxford Plains Speedway on July 12, 1966.
During the course of his career, Bobby Allison accumulated 84 victories, making him fourth all-time, tied with Darrell Waltrip, including three victories at the Daytona 500 in 1978, 1982 and 1988, where he finished one-two with his son, Davey Allison. In 1972 he was voted national Driver of the Year for winning ten races and taking 11 poles (including a record 5 straight) and again in 1983 when he claimed his only championship. He was NASCAR Winston Cup Champion in 1983[1] driving for DiGard Racing. The 1982 Daytona 500 was fraught with controversy that became known as "Bumpergate". He also won the Firecracker 400 in 1982, making Allison the fourth driver to sweep both Sprint Cup point races at Daytona in the same year. Of note, after Allison accomplished this, no driver repeated such a feat until Jimmie Johnson did it in 2013.
Allison ran in the Indianapolis 500 twice, with a best finish of 25th in 1975. His NASCAR team owners included DiGard, Junior Johnson & Associates, and Roger Penske, for whom Allison scored four of the five NASCAR wins for American Motors' Matador. The other AMC victory was accomplished by Mark Donohue also racing for Penske in 1973 at Riverside. He raced in NASCAR as a driver/owner of an AMC Matador.[1]
Allison was involved in an accident at Talladega in May 1987, that saw his car cut down a tire, turn sideways and go airborne into the protective catch fence that separates the speedway from the grandstands. The impact, at over 200 miles per hour (320 km/h), tore out over 100 yards of fencing. Parts and pieces of the car went flying into the grandstand injuring several spectators. This was the same race where Bill Elliott had set the all-time qualifying record at 212 mph (341 km/h).
In response, NASCAR mandated smaller carburetors for the remaining 1987 events at Talladega and Daytona. The following year, NASCAR mandated restrictor plates at Daytona and Talladega to keep speeds under 200 miles per hour (320 km/h). Allison won the first Daytona 500 run with restrictor plates in February 1988 by a car length over his son Davey Allison, rendering him the first driver to have won the Daytona 500 both with and without restrictor plates. He is the oldest driver (50 years) ever to win the Daytona 500. Bobby and Davey Allison are the first one-two father/son finish in the Daytona 500. As a result of permanent injuries in a crash at Pocono (see below), Bobby now has no memory of the final win of his career or of celebrating together with his son in victory lane.(7)
He was elected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2011.
Cale Yarborough Fight[edit]
Early in the 1979 Daytona 500, Bobby, his brother Donnie and rival Cale Yarborough tangled early in the race. Donnie led the second half of the race while Yarborough made up his lost laps through caution periods. By the time there were 8 laps to go, Yarborough reached second place and set his eyes on passing Donnie. Bobby was one lap down and was right behind the two rivals as Yarborough and Donnie crashed on the final lap. Richard Petty went by and won the race. Bobby had one lap left to make up but he instead pulled over to the wreck site to offer Donnie a ride to the garages. Cale Yarborough ran up to Bobby and yelled some stuff. Bobby climbed out and a fist-fight broke out.
This fight led to an $80,000 fine for each Yarborough and the Allison brothers. It brought NASCAR onto the map and NASCAR became a popular sport. In 2000 when asked about the fist-fight Bobby said "I stopped to offer Donnie a ride to the garages and Cale comes running up saying I caused the wreck. I tried to tell him he had the wrong person. And I've said before, I think I questioned his ancestry. He threw his helmet into my face and I saw blood dripping onto my shirt. I thought 'If I don't stop this I'll be running from Cale for the rest of my life.' I climbed out and throttled him. He ran his nose into my fist several times. My story and I'm sticking to it forever. He never challenged me again. The fine surprised me, but the fact that it brought NASCAR onto the map makes it all worth every penny."
Donnie had a similar story to Bobby: "Cale said I forced him in the mud. I did not. He wrecked himself and I was the unfortunate bystander to be in it. He and I have talked. We're fine. We both view it as lost opportunities. After he and I talked it out and agreed to disagree Bobby came to the crash site asking me if I wanted a ride. Somehow I don't remember...but seconds later fists were thrown between Cale and Bobby. I tried to get into the fight and got scratched in the cheek by Cale. I later kicked him when Bobby mopped him into the mud. All of us were fined $80,000 but between Daytona 500 and this fight, today it's worth every penny to be involved in a fight that got NASCAR on the map."
Cale Yarborough unsurprisingly has a different account of the story: "If they look at the video they'll realize I was forced in the mud by Donnie. I was going to pass Donnie and win the race but he forced me in the mud and I had no control. So hell I hit him back. If I wouldn't finish the race neither would he. He and I had a civil talk after the wreck and we were fine until Bobby Allison climbed out of the car and began shouting at me. It went chaotic from there."
Pocono and tragedy[edit]
On June 19th 1988, Allison crashed on lap 1 of the Miller High 500. Initially he survived a head-on hit into the outside barrier but then suddenly Jocko Maggiacomo t-boned Allison in the driver's side of the car. Allison nearly died. When he reached a local hospital he was initially declared dead. Medical assistance saved his life. Because he had to go through a rehab program from his vegetative state, he retired from driving in NASCAR. [1] In 1992, his younger son, Clifford Allison, was fatally injured in a practice crash for the NASCAR Busch Series race (now Xfinity Series) at Michigan International Speedway. Allison was elected to the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1993.
Later in 1993, his son Davey was killed in a helicopter accident at Talladega Superspeedway. Three years after these major tragedies, he and his wife Judy divorced. Four years after their divorce, while attending their daughter's wedding, they reconnected. They were remarried and are still together. He was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 1992, and inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in May 2011, along with Lee Petty, Bud Moore, David Pearson, and Ned Jarrett.[citation needed]
Allison is one of eight drivers to have won what was then considered a career Grand Slam (an unofficial term) by winning the sport's four majors: the Daytona 500, the Winston 500 at Talladega, the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte, and the Southern 500 at Darlington. Only seven other drivers have accomplished this feat: Richard Petty, David Pearson, Darrell Waltrip, Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, and Buddy Baker.[citation needed]
Win controversy[edit]
Officially,[2] Allison has won 84 Cup Series races, placing him in fourth place on the all-time wins list, tied with Darrell Waltrip. Unofficially, Allison has won 85 races, and may be credited with 86 wins. The controversy lies in two races: the 1971 Myers Brothers 250 held at Bowman Gray Stadium (Winston-Salem, North Carolina), and the 1973 National 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. (Charlotte, North Carolina.)
1971 Myers Brothers 250[edit]
The 1971 Myers Brothers 250 was held August 6, 1971 at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The first car to cross the finish line after 250 laps was driven by Allison. The dispute in question came because of early 1970s combination races for the smaller Grand American Series, featuring "pony cars", such as the Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Mustang, and AMC Javelin, as well as the Grand National Series, featuring the Chevrolet Chevelle, Ford Torino Talladega, Dodge Charger Daytona, and Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird. For that race, and the race following at West Virginia International Speedway, Allison raced a Grand National – Grand American combination race in a Grand American Series specification 1970 Ford Mustang, #49, sponsored by Rollins Leasing, and owned by Melvin Joseph. (Joseph was the head of Dover International Speedway until his death in 2005.) As he was not racing in a Grand National car, he never received credit in that series, but was credited with a Grand American Series ("pony" cars) win.[citation needed]
It should be noted NASCAR has had co-sanctioned races with various series in the past; in such cases, the win counts only in the series which that driver's car was sanctioned. The driver tied with Allison in all-time Cup wins because of the dispute is involved in this incident. An Automobile Racing Club of America/Winston West combination race in College Station, Texas on March 21, 1993, was won by Darrell Waltrip, driving an ARCA entry. That win was credited as an ARCA win only, and not counted in the NASCAR AutoZone West Series, Grand National Division (as it is currently known) win list. Likewise, when a Winston Cup driver won a Winston Cup/Winston West combination race, the win counts in Cup, not West. The Busch Series and Busch North Series also raced combination races in the past. Currently, Bristol Motor Speedway has such a race, with the Whelen Modified Tour and Whelen Southern Modified Tour.[citation needed]
1973 National 500[edit]
The 1973 National 500 was held October 7, 1973 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina. The first three cars to cross the finish line after the scheduled 334 laps (501 miles) were driven by Cale Yarborough, Richard Petty, and Bobby Allison, in that order. Again, these facts are not disputed. What is disputed, is the legality of the first two cars' engines, recounted in Jim McLaurin's book "NASCAR'S Most Wanted", in the chapter "Fudgin' With the Rules":
- In the 1973 National 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Allison protested that the engines in winner Cale Yarborough's and second-place Richard Petty's cars were over-sized. NASCAR inspected all three of the top finishers, and Allison's engine fit the cubic-displacement specs. Six hours after the inspections began, NASCAR technical director Bill Gazaway told the press that the results were being sent to headquarters in Daytona for a final decision.
- Monday afternoon NASCAR released a statement saying that, because the inspection facilities at Charlotte were inadequate, the pre-race inspection numbers would be used-when all three cars were legal and that the results would stand.
- Allison threatened both to quit and to sue. It was not until after a private meeting with NASCAR President Bill France, Jr., a week later that Allison was assuaged. Speculation was that Allison had been bought off. Allison wouldn't confirm or deny it, saying only that he had "received satisfactory restitution". The results were never changed. 1973 was a transition year in NASCAR. Teams could run a restrictor plate-equipped 7-liter engine or a 5.9 liter engine without restrictor plates. A decade later, Petty's over sized engine at the same race resulted in new NASCAR rules on oversized engines, including twelve-week suspensions for the offending engine builder, driver, and car owner.[citation needed]
1982 Daytona 500 ("Bumpergate")[edit]
Following his victory at Daytona, Allison's car was inspected and was found to have lost its rear bumper, which appeared to have fallen off in a slight bump between two cars at the beginning of the race. However, tests were performed on the car without its rear bumper and it was discovered that the car was faster and handled better without the bumper. It has been claimed that Allison and his crew modified the bumper so that it would fall off easily at the beginning of the race. NASCAR never fined him and the victory stands. Allison and his crew deny the allegations.[3]
Car owner[edit]
in 1985 Bobby decided to set up his own team, Bobby Allison Racing.
Bobby was a Driver/Owner for a number of races in 1985 after leaving DiGard Motorsports with DiGard's #22
Bobby was a car owner for numerous drivers from 1990 to 1996, most notably Mike Alexander, Hut Stricklin, Jimmy Spencer, and Derrike Cope. Stricklin was Donnie Allison's son-in-law.[4]
The car number raced was #12 and sponsors included Raybestos Brakes from 1990–92 and, in 1993, Meineke. Stricklin moved to the Junior Johnson team halfway through 1992 and Raybestos left at the end of the year to the Stavola Brothers #8 team.[4][5] For 1995 and 1996, the team was sponsored by Mane 'n Tail with Derrike Cope at the wheel. Allison was forced to close down the team due to financial problems after the 1996 season. [4]
Recent years[edit]
Allison has actively promoted rail safety for the CSX "Keep on Living" campaign with appearances at Talladega and Daytona. On March 6, 2008, his mother, Kittie Allison, died at age 101 in Charlotte, North Carolina. On May 23, 2011, Bobby Allison was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.[6]

After Michael Sam was drafted by the St. Louis Rams on May 10, he kissed his boyfriend — and they showed it on ESPN. Afterward, former and current NFL stars took to Twitter and completely bashed him! How ridiculous?
Michael Sam, 24, celebrated with his boyfriend, Vito Cammisano, 23, after he became the first openly gay NFL star to be drafted! However, the outcome wasn't a loving one. Miami Dolphins' Don Jones was just one of many who tweeted a negative reaction to the kiss that ESPN aired — and he was fined by the team!
Miami Dolphins' Don Jones Dissed Michael Sam
Don, the safety for the Miami Dolphins, tweeted "OMG" and "horrible" when Sam was picked in the seventh round of the draft and ESPN aired him kissing his boyfriend. Of course, now he has now deleted the tweets. However, it wasn't fast enough.
"We were disappointed to read Don's tweets," Joe Philbin, Miami Dolphins coach said in a statement. "They were inappropriate and unacceptable, and we regret the negative impact these comments had on such an important weekend for the NFL. We met with Don today about respect, discrimination and judgment. These comments are not consistent with the values and standards of our program."
Don later released a statement apologizing, remembering how happy he was when he was drafted the year before.
"I am committed to represent the values of the Miami Dolphins organization, and appreciate the opportunity I have been given to do so going forward," he said.
Michael Sam Gets Negative Reaction After Kiss
Don wasn't the only one who freaked out.
Derrick Ward, former running back for the NY Giants, also tweeted and didn't delete a whole rant, starting with, "Man U got little kids lookin at the draft. I can't believe ESPN even allowed that to happen."
After getting a bunch of hate tweets, he responded with a ton more: "The funny thing is people are calling me this and that on here but if u look back to what I wrote I said what he did shouldn't had been allowed on tv for people to see. No matter if he's gay or not. I could careless. Shoving cake in your significant others face then deep. The paring your tongue into the other persons mouth is a little over board. But people seen that as oh I'm bashing him because he's gay. Who cares!!!"
He didn't stop there, either!
"But for real though most of u need to read the bible. It'll explain a lot in that book. #knowledge," he wrote before defending himself once again. "And for the last time since u guys don't know how to read I wasn't against him kissing his significant other. All I said was he shouldn't had done it the way that he did it. Even if he kissed a girl I woulda said the same thing."
For someone who doesn't think he didn't anything wrong, he did quite a bit of apologizing!

It's a shame this guy was fined for speaking his mind! Everyone doesn't have to agree wit the gay stuff a lot of people don't because of their religious beliefs we should all have freedom of speech and honestly it was filthy and shouldn't b forced down our throats! He was only Ickes cause he came out before the draft and they were scared of the backlash from the gay rights people not cool

Why not? He was celebrating with a peck and a hug! If the other draft picks can kiss girlfriends, Michael can kiss his boyfriend! Gay people are real, it's not a choice, so they get the same rights. You probably would have protested if he kissed a white girlfriend, because you're a hatefull bigot!
