Alexis de Tocqueville Presents American Democracy: Past, Present, and Future
What makes democracy work? What threatens it? What do we need to do to improve our democracy? Bring these and other questions to a live conversation with the historical figure, Alexis de Tocqueville, the 19th-century Frenchman considered by many to be the foremost analyst of American democracy.
Tocqueville's trip to America in 1831-32 resulted in the most celebrated analysis of American society ever written, Democracy in America (1835). Tocqueville identified the key forces at work in democracy and made a number of astonishingly accurate predictions about the future of the American democracy. He is still quoted frequently on such issues as religion, the role of the press, and the importance of local groups and local government. Witty and insightful, he provides a chance to reexamine our strengths and weaknesses as a democratic society.
Tocqueville is presented as a live performance by scholar Richard Johnson, a professor of history at California Poly Pomona. He was chosen by the Inland Empire Educational Foundation and the California Council for the Humanities to portray Alexis de Tocqueville in a series of Chautauqua programs during 1994 and 1995. Johnson has written and published articles on a number of subjects in early 19th-century American history, and he is working on a book about social and political attitudes toward the American military during the 19th century.
The Social Siege of Nature: A Response to Deconstructionism
The deconstructionist view asserts that all we can ever perceive about the world are shadows; we can never escape our particular biases and fixed historical and cultural positions. With this in mind, the natural world as described by scientists and conservationists is a human artifact produced by our economic activities and as such is grist for material reshaping, exploitation, and tinkering with what little remains of the wilderness. Michael Soule, along with Gary Lease, in the book Reinventing Nature: Responses to Postmodern Deconstructionism (1995) seek to oppose these views. Soule argues that the world, including its living components, really does exist apart from humanity's perceptions. In spite of differences among us in class, culture, gender, and historical perspective, we can gain dependable, scientific knowledge about this independent, natural world.
After graduating from San Diego State University, Soule received his advanced degrees from Stanford University, where he concentrated in population and evolutionary biology under Paul Ehrlich. He has done field work in Africa, Samoa, Australia, Yugoslavia, Mexico, and the West Indies and has held teaching positions in Malawi and at the University of Michigan. Currently, Soule is chair of environmental studies and director for the Center for Biodiversity Analysis and Management at UC Santa Cruz. His research interests include studies of morphological and genetic variation in natural populations of animals, island biogeography, and conservation biology.
The founder and first president of the Society for Conservation Biology and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Soule brings with him a depth of knowledge and understanding concerning the natural world. His expertise in biological diversity lends itself to the consultation of many agencies and organizations, including The Nature Conservancy, the U.S. National Parks Service, Forest Service, and Fish and Wildlife Service, the OTA, EPA UNEP, FAO, UNESCO, WWF-US, and the NAS/NRC.
Genetics, Race, and IQ: Historical Reflections from Binet to the Bell Curve
With science racing toward a more complete understanding of human genetics and the applications of genetic alterations, public life is flaring with debates over ethics, heredity, and eugenics. Daniel J. Kevles has written widely on the development of science and its relationship to society past and present. His books In the Name of Eugenics: Genetics and the Uses of Human Heredity (1995) and The Code of Codes: Scientific and Social Issues in the Human Genome Project (1992) have established him as one of the premier American chroniclers of the interaction between science and society.
Kevles received his B.A. in physics and his Ph.D. in history from Princeton University. After a brief period on the White House staff, he joined the faculty of the California Institute of Technology, where he is now the Koepfli Professor of Humanities and the head of the program in science, ethics, and public policy.
Kevles has contributed numerous articles and book reviews for a variety of publications, including The New York Review of Books, The Sciences, The New Republic, Harper's, and The New Yorker, as well as for many scholarly journals. His works have earned a Page One award, a National Historical Society prize, and a nomination for the American Book Award in history.
KRAVIS/DeROULET LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
The annual Kravis/deRoulet Leadership Conference is sponsored by the Kravis Leadership Institute. The conference addresses aspects of leadership performance and organizational effectiveness. This year's conference will employ an innovative format in which the presenter speaks at 6:00 p.m., before dinner. During dinner guests can discuss the speaker's remarks and following dinner the speaker will return to the podium to field questions arising from the discussions. At many of the tables invited corporate leaders and entrepreneurs, including several members of the Kravis Leadership Institute Board of Governors, will help to facilitate the discussions.
The Strengths of Leadership: Some Personal Thoughts
Henry Kravis and his partners took a small merchant banking firm and transformed it into the acknowledged leader in the development of the leveraged buyout. Since the founding of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., the firm has acquired more than 40 companies for a total investment of over $70 billion. A key to KKR's success with firms as divergent as food companies, banks, cable television distributors, and manufacturing concerns has been the ability to recognize and nurture effective leadership. Kravis, who sits on the boards of directors of RJR Nabisco Inc., Duracell Holdings Corporation, Safeway, Borden, and many other companies, will offer personal views on the characteristics of strong leaders, gleaned from his wide experience.
Kravis also serves on the boards of trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Mount Sinai Hospital, Public Television Channel 13/New York (where he is Chairman of the Board), and many other civic and charitable organizations. He is active in the prevention of drug and substance abuse and is responsible for the creation of Project High Road in New York, a highly acclaimed program in the public schools.
Closer to home, Mr. Kravis supported the founding of the Kravis Leadership Institute at Claremont McKenna College. The Institute seeks to improve the quality of leadership in contemporary society through original research, educational programs, and outreach activities. The 1995 Kravis/deRoulet Leadership Conference coincides with the inaugural meeting of the Kravis Institute Board of Governors.
Reservations for this event are available only for students, faculty, and staff from CMC.
Who Stole Feminism?: How Women Have Betrayed Women
How would you define feminism? In speeches based on her book, Who Stole Feminism?: How Women Have Betrayed Women (1994), Christina Hoff Sommers maintains that feminism used to be about fairness and equality, not about male-bashing, censorship, and victim politics, as it is today. She argues that a limited group of feminist activists, claiming to speak for all women, have promoted an agenda that sets women against men. Seeking the "old feminism" that concentrated on legal reforms, Sommers would rather explore how women can join with men on equal terms to contribute to a universal human culture. In her opinion, "gender feminists" have propped up a "gynocentric" perspective on social reality with sloppy but well-funded research. Her address seeks to expose the manipulation of data on rape, battery, harassment, and wage differentials to "prove" how "patriarchal" culture keeps women down. While rejecting that perspective, Sommers takes a closer look at advocacy research and its effects on women, especially those who are in college and are currently entering the workforce.
Sommers, now an associate professor in the department of philosophy at Clark University, received her Ph.D. at Brandeis University. In addition to her book Who Stole Feminism?, Sommers has authored Right and Wrong: Basic Readings in Ethics (1986), Vice and Virtue in Everyday Life: Introductory Readings in Ethics (1985). An active speaker on feminism, Sommers has appeared on Nightline, The CBS Evening News, and Donahue. She has been awarded numerous grants. For a new definition of feminism, join Sommers as she challenges mainstream feminists and their supporters to take back the women's movement.

A man with fiery red hair and beard, Campbell will don his kilt and unveil his Scottish accent to share tales of intrigue featuring lasses, giants, and men of great strength.
Our Worst Wartime Mistake?
0n February 19, 1942, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, paving the way for the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. As Americans have become aware of this injustice in recent years, many have asked how the United States government could imprison its own citizens, solely on the basis of ancestry and race. Over 110,000 men, women, and children lost homes, farms, and businesses as they made the trek to desolate camps, where they lived for much of the war under armed guard and behind barbed wire.
Since the 19th century, Japanese Americans had made the United States their home. Despite decades of toll and investment, they found themselves prisoners in their own country. The government's justification of "national security" rang hollow as illegal aliens and citizens of Italian and German ancestry did not suffer the fate of wholesale forced removal. The Day of Remembrance speaker, historian Yuji Ichioka, will address the many questions surrounding the internment of the Japanese American, describing the episode as "our worst wartime mistake."
Ichioka, a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, is an internationally-recognized scholar of Japanese American history. Educated at UCLA and Columbia University, Ichioka has taught history and Asian American studies for twenty years. The author of numerous publications, he is best known for his award-winning book, The Issei: The World of the First Generation Japanese Immigrants, 1885-1924 (1988). A native of San Francisco, Ichioka was incarcerated, along with his family, in the internment camp in Topaz, Utah, during World War II.
The Day of Remembrance commemorates a tragic and sad episode in our nation's history. Starting in 1978, Days of Remembrance ceremonies have taken place in many cities across the country each year. Most events take place on or near the 19th of February, which marks the tumult set into motion by Executive Order 9066.
Korea and the U.S.: What Lies Ahead?
In spite of the end of the Cold War, the Korean Peninsula remains one of the most unstable areas in the world. For the past five decades the United States has been deeply involved in the management of Korean affairs. The United States still deploys about 40,000 troops there and maintains a very close economic and diplomatic relationship with South Korea. The United States is expected to ease economic sanctions against North Korea and to promote an exchange of liaison offices between the two capitals.
As specialist on Asian Affairs, Robert Scalapino is uniquely qualified to discuss the dynamic unfolding of U.S. relations with North and South Korea. He has made several government-sponsored trips to North Korea. On the second and third trips, he was head of an American mission on Korea sponsored by the Asia Society. The report prepared by his mission had a significant impact on policies of the Bush and Clinton administrations.
Scalapino is Robson Research Professor of Government Emeritus at the University of California at Berkeley. He has published 38 books or monographs on Asian politics and U.S. Asian policy, including Communism in Korea (1972) (two volumes, with Chong-Sik Lee, for which they received the American Political Science Association's 1974 Woodrow Wilson Award), The United States and Korea-Looking Ahead (1979), and Major Power Relations in Northeast Asia (1987). He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and he serves on a number of prestigious academic and professional boards such as the Council on Foreign Relations, the Asia Society, the Asia Foundation, and the Atlantic Council.
The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies is sponsoring this address by Dr. Robert A. Scalapino at the Athenaeum. You are cordially invited to attend and we encourage you to participate in the discussion after the lecture.

Our first collective task is to develop the rubrics by which we will assess the core.
Rubric FAQs
Why start here?
With the exception of the Component Area Option, each foundational Component Area is required to address at least four of the required Core Objectives (each Component Area must address Critical Thinking and Communication). If we are going to have any ability to have more than a single course in each of the Component Areas, it will require us to come to an agreement on exactly what the Core Objectives mean. It is also an opportunity to begin to lay the groundwork for what we, as a collective body, want body of knowledge a student emerging through a four-year degree with us will possess.
Why do we only have a week to come up with this?
Thankfully, we aren't required to reinvent the wheel here. As I talked about in the Colloquium presentation, many of the changes in the core come from ties directly and indirectly to the work of The Association of American Colleges and Universities and are tied to their VALUE rubrics. As I detailed in the talks I gave during the last week of the semester, these rubrics will serve us well as a guide (either wholesale acceptance or through minor revisions) because they not only involve best practices that we already utilize or are written in ways that are open for our interpretations.
What are you asking for?
The committee is asking those folks interested in and expert in their areas to work on producing the rubrics that we will use as a guide to course proposals. Our local experts on Critical Thinking, Communication, Empirical and QUantitative Skills, Teamwork, Personal Responsibility, and Social Responsibility are encouraged to examine them, discuss them, and come to an agreement on a common, university-wide rubric for each of the Component Areas. Also, those who intend on teaching a course in the core may find it worth the time to examine all of the rubrics impacting their Component Area. For example, if I am proposing a course in the Language, Philosophy, and Culture Component Area, artifacts from my course will be assessed against the Critical Thinking, Communication, Social Responsibility, and Personal Responsibility Core Objectives.
Does this change how I grade in my class?
No. No. And, no, again. You will grade your class assignments exactly the way you want to grade your class assignments. Grading and Assessment are two entirely different things.
Does this change the assignments in my class?
Perhaps. In each core class, an artifact that can be used to assess a student's progress towards the Core Objectives will be necessary. If your class in the Life and Physical Sciences did not produce an artifact that one could assess Communication skills with, then the answer is yes. If you already have such an assignment in the course, the answer is no.
From the folks that have attended prior sessions and the SACS conference I attended on the new core, these seem to be the most frequently asked questions. If you have others, I will certainly attempt to answer them.

|In Spotlight of National Physical Therapy Month, ACH's Program Shines Brightly
With October designated as National Physical Therapy Month, it's a fitting time to explore the advantages of the excellent pediatric-centered program provided by All Children's Hospital or one of its outpatient locations.
"First, the staff has specialized training and experience in pediatrics," says ACH Director of Physical Therapy, Maggie Reilly. "They get into the field because they want to work with kids and that's their love and all they do here is treat kids. A lot of physical therapists out in the community may see a child from time to time in their case load of adults, but that's not really where they're focusing their attention. Our staff receive specialized continuing education in pediatrics. We also provide individualized therapy, one on one, and family involvement is an integral part of the intervention. That's a big difference."
The second reason spells out another compelling advantage at All Children's.
"It's our facility," she says. "We have the pediatric environment and pediatric-size equipment, and we focus on what's appropriate developmentally for kids. We know not only the best way to treat a child's injury, for instance, but how to get that child motivated to do the rehab. It could be a typically developing child who has an injury of some body part, or it could be a child born with a particular problem."
Among the children benefitting from ACH's rehab program are those with genetic conditions. "We see a lot of children born with conditions such as Downs Syndrome, spina bifida or others diagnosed with disorders such as autism," she says. "When they come here, they have the right equipment, staff with the right training, and they're around other kids and families."
Reilly stresses that receiving physical therapy is a crucial component in a patient's ability to reach developmental milestones and adjust as an adult.
"With many kids who are born with special needs, their family needs to be coached and given skills to work with their children to help them be as functional as they can," she says. "The goal is to get them to be integrated into their family activities and community as much as possible."
Without a physical therapist trained to meet their needs, a child might experience a greater developmental delay, either cognitive or motor, and might not be able to interact socially with peers or family members.
"The end result could impact their contributions as an adult to the community," Reilly says. "A lot of that has to do with physical therapy, because they have to be able to move and be able to negotiate their environment. They have to be able to find out what their skills and their strengths are, and then build on those to be a contributing person in the community."
All Children's has 50 physical therapists and PT assistants (with 178 members of the entire rehab staff). Services are provided at 10 outpatient locations. In addition, there's the sports rehab program that Reilly, a 13-year veteran of All Children's, helped build.
"We've always done orthopedics as a subset of what we do, but we never had a full-fledged sports rehab program," she says. "When Dr. (Drew) Warnick came to town and was going to do surgery on these athletes, he said, 'I'd really like to refer my patients to you guys but it really needs to be a place for adolescent athletes to want to come. How can we do this together?' We realized we needed more training of our staff, because it's different when you have a developmental patient: a baby or a youngster versus an elite athlete. Those are two different skill sets. So we made sure we hired staff that could do it, including athletic trainers."
Top-flight equipment and therapy gyms designed for the adolescent athlete were added as an additional motivator for sports rehab patients. Dr. Patrick Mularoni and Dr. Carlos Rodriguez became involved as physician champions, and the AllSports Medicine program at All Children's took flight. "Everything has just boomed," Reilly says.
Reilly sees the addition of physiatrist Dennis Hart, M.D. as one more big step in the growth of the department - and another reason to be excited about the direction of ACH rehabilitation services.
"I've worked at a lot of places where I was a small pediatric fish in a big pond with adults, and the kids were always kind of an afterthought," she says. "It was like, 'Yes, we do pediatrics but our mission is more with adults.' Here (at All Children's) - with the mission just being for children - you get the support.
"You get the support of the physicians, because they understand. You get the support of the administration, because they understand. So when you have a new program you want to develop, like our new Ultra G Treadmill in sports, our thera-suit program, or other programs like that, we can talk that talk with people who understand it. And we can get to offer these great programs to kids who don't have the opportunity to get them other places."

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To detect and monitor muscle damage; to help diagnose conditions associated with muscle damage; sometimes to help determine if you have had a heart attack, although for heart attack detection, this test has been largely replaced by troponin
When to Get Tested?
When you have muscle weakness, muscle aches, and/or dark urine and your health practitioner suspects muscle damage; sometimes to monitor for muscle injury resolution or persistence; sometimes to detect ongoing or additional heart damage after a heart attack
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test measures the amount of creatine kinase (CK) in the blood. Creatine kinase is an enzyme found in the heart, brain, skeletal muscle, and other tissues. Increased amounts of CK are released into the blood when there is muscle damage.
The small amount of CK that is normally in the blood comes primarily from skeletal muscles. Any condition that causes muscle damage and/or interferes with muscle energy production or use can cause an increase in CK. For example, inflammation of muscles, called myositis, can increase CK. Rhabdomyolysis, a breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue, is associated with significantly elevated levels of CK.
Rhabdomyolysis and increased CK may be seen with, for example:
- Crush and compression muscle injuries, trauma, burns, and electrocution
- Prolonged surgeries
- Seizures
- Intense physical exertion, especially in heat and humidity and when dehydrated
- Infections – viral (such as influenza and HIV), bacterial, fungal, and parasitic (such as malaria)
- A blood clot (thrombosis) blocking the flow of blood
- Any drug or toxin that interferes with muscle energy production or increases energy requirements
Damage to muscles, such as the heart damage that occurs during a heart attack, can cause increased CK levels within a few hours. Levels peak within 12 to 24 hours and then return to normal within 2 to 4 days. If additional damage occurs or it is ongoing, then CK levels may stay elevated. This fact makes the CK test potentially useful for monitoring for continuing heart or other muscle damage.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is taken by needle from the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Gloves fit great, true to size. The are very breathable. The only problem so far is that some of the rubber design is pealing off.

Comments about Giro Xen Glove 2012:
XL, for my short and stocky hands. Great fit except at the pinky. Lots of grip through-out. Silicone in the right places for levers. Just enough padding in the palms. Aggressive looking forehand with protectors. You can feel the air vent your fingers. Good stuff!
After 5 rides. So far, seams are holding. I would buy this again for the price,performance.

Comments about Giro Xen Glove 2012:
I'm not sure why the guy below had such a bad experience with these gloves. I wear them for All Mountain/Trail, which is what they were designed for, and they ROCK! I ride 3 to 4 times a week and that puts a lot of wear and tear on my gloves. I've always been a Fox rider, but Giro got my attention with these gloves. I wear a medium and they fit perfect. The padding on the palm is wonderful and the ventilation between the fingers is absolutely superb on hot days.

Comments about Giro Xen Glove 2012:
Aside from the poor quality of construction the gloves are great. I purchased them solely because of the padding on the palm of the hand. However, the quality of construction is really as poor as everyone says - one of the pairs i purchased only lasted one day before the seam on one of the fingers came apart.

With only eight players before the season began Parrott Academy's girls basketball team couldn't afford any injuries, yet the injury bug bit early and often.
Now, the Patriots are playing with only six players. And they're still in the race.
Parrott Academy, which lost two of its starters due to serious injuries before the end of the first quarter of its first game, has battled a season in which at least four players have missed time due to being hurt or an illness.
And at times, all were out at the same moment.
"It was a pretty tough game that first game against a pretty good opponent," said Patriots coach Tom Bailey, whose team only lost by five despite the misfortune.
"I'm sure most of (the girls) were out there going, 'Oh no.'"
One of Bailey's main concerns heading into the season was his lack of depth. With only eight on the roster, he hoped and prayed none of them would sustain a serious injury.
In the season opener at Fayetteville Academy on Nov. 14, the Patriots lost junior Kayla King for the season with a torn ACL and lost junior Teigh Beth Bailey for more than a month with a broken knee cap. They were also without sophomore Caroline Caryle, who was in Florida at the time.
That all happened in the first quarter. Then more bad luck came.
"I thought it was a joke," said junior Brooke Uken, who suffered an asthma attack during the second quarter.
Added senior Logan Beyer: "The four of us just looked at each other and were like, terrified."
But the bad luck didn't end there.
Uken has missed time due to her asthma, senior Campbell Huddle is currently sidelined with a broken left wrist and eighth grader Erin Hughes has missed some time with a hamstring injury.
Yet, the Patriots, whose game today at Henderson Kerr-Vance Academy has been postponed until Wednesday due to the possibility of inclement weather, sit at 6-8 overall and are 4-4 in the league.
"We've had to make-shift some, though. We've had some out of position and playing different spots," Bailey said.
"It hasn't been just one thing. It's been all kinds of things. We've got eight girls and five of them have had pretty major injuries."
The bad luck has caused them to have to postpone one game — at home against Cary Christian on Jan. 11.
Bailey said he had only four players that night, so the two teams agreed to play the game at a later date, if needed to shake things out in the conference standings.
Parrott, which is currently fifth in the Eastern Plains Independent Conference, has won two of its last three games, and has done so with only one reserve. In several games this season the Patriots had a lineup of five players — one each from eighth grade to a high school senior, Bailey said — and still won.
Even with all the bad luck the team has endured, it has done nothing but make it a tighter-knit group.
"I think we got closer as a team because we only had each other," Beyer said.
While the team obviously wants to earn more wins than losses, considering what it has been through to this point, the players will take where they're currently at.
"We just work hard and try our best," Teigh Beth Bailey said. "It's kind of hard with five people."
Added Uken: "It goes both ways. It's frustrating not to win but at the same time I'm proud at us for what we've done."

Hundreds of local, state and federal officials came together with members of all branches of the military to celebrate the Marine Corps Installations-East change of command ceremony this week.
"It's a very special day for me and my wife Laura," said Brig. Gen. Robert Castellvi, the incoming commanding general for MCI-East. "This is where we met ...where I cut my teeth as a young leader ...and where I first deployed overseas from.
"It's great to be back and taking command of a great organization."
Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Gorry relinquished command of all Marine Corps installations on the east coast of the
"I'm a career infantry officer who has spent almost 20 years in the operational forces," Castellvi said. "I have been the beneficiary ... of the bases, installations and outlying communities. I think I have a unique understanding ... and I'm ready to pay it back. I'm going to pour some of that operational perspective into our bases and installations I'll be commanding."
Castellvi realizes the magnitude of his new command, he said.
"It is a staggering size of command," Castellvi said. "The span of control is huge but I have a great staff and great installation commanders."
Castellvi will be assuming responsibility of eight installations spanning from
"There is a lot of history between (the civilian and military communities) here at
Gorry said he has been honored to work with the veterans and organizations of
"Together we form a community," Gorry said. "We're not a base and a town — it's a community.
The challenges for Castellvi are many, Gorry said.
"Its not only Camp Lejeune but we have bases all down the east coast," Gorry said. "...Dividing his time between the base here and the other installations is huge. If he can do that he'll be successful. ...It takes a lot of energy …and commitment to a worthy cause.
"...I know he'll do great."

Straight Leg Jeans:A best-selling fit in stretch denim, our Favorite Rise sits slightly below the natural waist with a straight fit through the hips and thighs.
NOTE: These jeans have a slim fit. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, we recommend ordering a size up.
Read what customers are saying about this product:
Rating: 2.71 out of 7 votes cast
Love Them!
I was hesitant to order these jeans because of the low rating but I'm so glad I took a chance and did it anyway. My normal size is a 4 and that's what I ordered. They fit great! In fact I just ordered another pair. I like the material because it's not that super stretchy stuff that gets puckers after a few washings. I love the rise too. Where else can you find a higher rise pair of jeans for such a great price? Try them. You'll love them!
Redfield, NY
Fit perfectly!
I ordered these in my normal size and they fit perfectly! Good quality material! Went back and ordered another pair in a different color!
Myrtle Beach, SC
Love them
Love them, bought 2 pair and came back for the other color ordered 4 petite and they fit perfect. Material is perfect weight. Sorry they only have 3 colors.
Cape Coral Florida
And I thought it was just me!
I agree with the previous reviewers. These are/were my favorite jeans. I recently bought a couple pair the same size as the previous order and they were too small. Same jeans that I bought before which makes no sense at all.
Poor quality
I ordered these last year and they were thicker, ran true to size, lasted the whole year- I'm still wearing them. These are thin and run VERY small- what happened???
Temple, Texas
Ripped fabric
I agree with the above review. They run a size small. The fabric is thin a tore near the zipper. Would not recommend for durability if you want a tight fit look.
Brazil IN
Size Difference
These jeans run extremely small. I normally wear a 10 Long, but even after re-ordering a 12 Long, they were still too small. I just ordered a different brand, and their 10 Long fit perfect.

'Searchiu' browser hijacker removal?
by TyTucson - 1/16/13 4:05 PM
(note: I am using Firefox)
So it appears my computer is infected with a new strain of browser hijacker called 'searchiu.'
Whenever I open a new tab, it opens a browser under 'searchiu.'
Unlike previous incarnations (searchnu, searchqu, etc.), it doesn't appear in my add-ons, it didn't install as a new toolbar, Google is still set as my default search engine, and it doesn't appear under 'search providers' in my 'internet options' settings. And it doesn't show up when I run a scan via malwarebytes or Microsoft SE.
I don't know enough about software to go about deleting files in the operational folders of my computer.
Any suggestions on how to get rid of this sneaky SOB?

Written by Curt Popejoy on 06/05/2012
1. Trent Richardson, RB Cleveland Browns-Potential to be a top 5 pick in all fantasy leagues very soon.
2. Andrew Luck, QB Indianapolis Colts-True Franchise signal caller and on a team without a great running game, he will develop quickly as a passer.
3. Robert Griffin III, QB Washington Redskins-Probably the best rookie next year, but will take a back seat to Luck and Richardson in the long term.
4. Doug Martin, RB Tampa Bay Buccaneers-Martin has a real shot to be the starter day one, and is much more talented than most realize. Very Ray Rice type of potential.
5. Michael Floyd, WR Arizona Cardinals-Has a chance to be tutored by one of the best wide outs in the league.
6. Justin Blackmon, WR Jacksonville Jaguars-He'd be ranked higher if he wasn't on such a bad team.
7. Coby Fleener, TE Indianapolis Colts-An ideal situation being able to catch passes from his former college QB. I expect big numbers right off the bat.
8. Ryan Tannehill, QB Miami Dolphins-An athletic quarterback on a bad team means he's going to get plenty of shots to rack up numbers.
9. Brandon Weeden, QB Cleveland Browns-Very little passing talent around him, and a limited ceiling, but any time you have a quarterback on a bad team, they will be throwing a lot.
10. David Wilson, RB New York Giants-Eventually Ahmad Bradshaw will be hurt, and when he is, Wilson will get his chance to shine.
11. Mohamed Sanu, WR Cincinnati Bengals-Great long term situation as the no.2 wr to AJ Green and Andy Dalton at QB.
12. Kendall Wright, WR Tennessee Titans-If Jake Locker can develop quickly, Wright could end up a Mike Wallace type deep threat.
13. LaMichael James, RB San Fransisco 49ers-With his talent it's going to be hard to keep him off the field, ala Darren Sproles in New Orleans.
14. Alshon Jeffery, WR Chicago Bears-One thing for Jeffery will be Cutler can fling it. But can Jeffery stay in shape and stay on the field?
15. Brian Quick, WR St. Louis Rams-With all the problems the Rams have with wide outs, Quick could end up on the field early and often.
16. Isaiah Pead, RB Cincinnati-Obviously not in a position to start this year, but long term Pead will be more and more involved in the offense.
17. AJ Jenkins WR San Fransisco 49ers-Considering the talent on this roster at the skill positions if Jenkins can realize his potential, he could end up being very good for a long time.
18. Robert Turbin, RB Seattle Seahawks-Turbin has all the tools to be a productive NFL starter, and he's in a nice position to replace Marshawn Lynch at some point.
19. Ryan Broyles, WR Detroit Lions-As he gets healthy it will be impossible to keep Broyles off the field.
20. Chris Polk, RB Philadelphia Eagles-Assuming he's telling the truth that he's healthy, Polk will be able to have an instant impact spelling LeSean McCoy, and could eventually replace him.

A dangerous stunt on a North Texas runway was no accident.
It is 19 seconds of adrenaline; 19 seconds that have caught the attention of the Federal Aviation Administration.
The online video that shows a biplane maneuvering at a high rate of speed past a man on an all-terrain vehicle and a second person holding the camera has gone viral, with more than 19,000 views on YouTube.
According to some social media sites and blogs, the stunt was a practice session for an upcoming show shot at the Lancaster Municipal Airport.
The city did not know about the video, but after receiving calls from the media, it checked its files and the man who they believe was in the pilot s seat. News 8 is not naming the pilot; he has not responded to any of our calls or e-mails.
Lancaster City Manager Opal Mauldin Robertson said the pilot leases hangar space from a tenant who has a rental agreement with the airport.
He does have an FAA aerobatic waiver, Robertson said. We are required to keep a copy the waiver on file. We do have a copy of that waiver, and have verified it's currently valid.
The FAA, however, has not been able to find that document.
In a statement to News 8, the agency said it could not immediately locate a waiver tied to the pilot, the airport, or the plane seen in the stunt.
It's the close call that worries investigators who are looking into the incident. FAA documents online indicate that even with a waiver, the agency has the right to cancel or delay any activities if the safety of a person, or property on the ground or in the air is in jeopardy.
Waiver or not, the FAA is planning to follow up with the city, and those behind this daring stunt.
The city will be fully cooperating with the Federal Aviation Administration in reviewing the activities of that pilot, Robertson said.
News 8 spoke to an aviation judge and pilot who knows the pilot flying the aircraft featured in the video. The person did not want to be identified, but said the pilot has a good reputation and is serious about safety.

Scouting Report-Ansah is a guy you look at and realize that he was born to play football. He's got near ideal size for a cornerback, and he carries his weight really well. I've only had a chance to watch him play a couple of times so rather than just fabricate a report or copy what anyone else says, like so many site so(and don't kid yourself, Indiana(PA) games are hard to come by), I will tell you what I saw. I saw a player who looks to a wide receiver playing cornerback. He does a nice job mirroring receivers, and looks better in the air, in terms of his hands than many corners do. Great ball skills. He's fast on the field and really quick, especially in his change of direction. Showed more in man than zone, but looked good in both. One thing that could get him drafted is his ability as a kick returner. He's dangerous in the open field with the ball in his hands. On the downside, he did get beat on some plays because he tried to make the big play instead of the sure play, which will get fans worked up. And although it could have just been the games I saw, he showed very little in terms of run support. Not much of a tackler.
Draft Status-This is a really good cornerback group, so I struggle to see AOA being drafted any higher than the third round. But when you have a small school player with what looks to be a lot of upside, there's always a chance that some team will just at him earlier. I'd put him in the top 100 picks, somewhere in the back half of the third round.C
Final Analysis-I am always skeptical about small school players regardless of what physical tools they displayed. That's mainly because he hasn't had to cover an NFL caliber WR in his career and if he has, they have been rare. It's not hard to look great, when you are covering guys who walk on to Division II programs. His size and measureables are spot on. But he's not a run defender and teams don't like that, but on the plus side he's a dynamicl kick returner. Techincally in coverage he plays a little high at times and you can see he's more raw than many, using his natural gifts to get him by rather than footwork and posture. He'll need to improve that. I understand he's had some health problems so of course those will need to be cleared up. He might end up a safety in the NFL where he can play center field and man up with tight ends and slot receivers. No doubt his upside is there, but I will remain a skeptic.
Reminds me of: Ricardo Colclough, CB Unemployed-Colclough was another highly touted small school cornerback, who teams fell in love with his measureables and upside, and ended up being drafted in the 2nd round. But in the long run, he was unable to develop the technique to matchup with NFL wide outs. I think AOA can be slightly better, especially if he can move to FS, but the risk/reward for a guy like this is high.

The long rumored partnership between MLS and USL PRO became official on Wednesday and now we know when the LA Galaxy Reserves will take part.
The USL PRO released their official schedule on Thursday that has the Galaxy Reserves playing a home-and-home series against the Fullerton-based club. LA will take on the Blues at Cal State Fullerton's Titan Stadium on April 7 and then end the series on May 7 at The Home Depot Center complex.
Galaxy Technical Director Jovan Kirovski admitted that it is a great start for player development, but at the time LA has no plans to enter in an affiliation.
"It's good for the development of your young kids and they get to play different competition, not just the same MLS competition all the time," said Kirovski. "It's the start to something, I know that other teams are forming partnerships and in the future, if it makes sense for us, we'd do the same, but it's a great start.
"We've played the Blues in the past so we have some partnership with them," Kirovski added later. "We've played them in preseason so it'll be great competition for us. It's just something different."
One of the leaders of LA's 2012 Western Division Reserve League champion side, Michael Stephens admits that the partnership will be a great asset to those players looking for minutes.
"As you saw last year with Open Cup when we played against the Carolina Railhawks, who are a lower division team, they were a better team than most of the reserve teams that we played. That will be a benefit to the guys who are playing. Also, the guys in [USL PRO] will have a lot to show to impress the MLS coaches so it'll be a good thing for all the young players."
The Home Depot Center will likely go by a new name by the end of the year.
A spokesman for the home improvement company told the Associated Press that they will not be renewing their $70 million, 10-year naming rights deal once it expires in May.
When reached for comment, a Home Depot Center spokesperson confirmed that they are in the final negotiations with a new naming rights partner for the facility.
CARSON, Calif. – A few training notes from Thursday's LA Galaxy training session…
*Due to the rain, the LA Galaxy trained on The Home Depot Center stadium field which is still covered with FieldTurf and football lines from this weekend's NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.
*After days of running and fitness, soccer balls made a brief appearance, but this was short lived after the completion of a brief passing drill.
*Todd Dunivant was at training for the first time on Thursday after returning from his honeymoon.
*Bruce Arena stated that there was no update on when Landon Donovan will return to Galaxy practice while the Galaxy boss stated that forward Robbie Keane is expected to return next week from his training stint with Tottenham Hotspur.
*Arena stated that "nothing has been finalized" with Re-Entry Draft pick goalkeeper William Hesmer at this moment.
*Supplemental Draft pick midfielder Andy Riemer from Georgetown was out at training on Thursday. Arena revealed that he has spent time over the last two years training with the Galaxy over the last summer. LA's head coach described him as a "versatile" player who can play a "bunch of positions."
*When asked about the club's Designated Player chase, Arena offered no comment telling the media that nothing had been finalized at this point.
Omar Gonzalez has dealt with a great deal of adversity over the past year, but the LA Galaxy centerback has risen above it all to win his second consecutive MLS Cup title, an MLS Cup MVP award, and a place in the U.S. national team for the annual January camp.
In the first episode of "Opportunity Knocks" U.S. Soccer's Allen Hopkins talks with Omar Gonzalez about his experiences over the past year. The video comes a day after Edson Buddle and Steve Beitashour pulled out of camp due to injuries.

MLS and USLPRO announced a multi-year partnership on Thursday to integrate the MLS Reserve League into the USL PRO's schedule. The deal will feature "interleague play" between Reserve League teams and the 13 teams of U.S. Soccer's third tier.
MLS clubs – like the LA Galaxy – are not mandated to have a USL PRO affiliate, but those that do must commit a minimum of four players on a long-term loan to their affiliate and will not be able to participate in the MLS Reserve League. If clubs affiliate with a USL Pro team then they will have to give a minimum of four players.
When the reserve league schedule is announced the Galaxy Reserves are expected to face Los Angeles Blues, who play at Titan Stadium in Cal-State Fullerton.
"This partnership represents the first step in a long-term alliance between MLS and USL PRO to connect domestic professional soccer through a system that benefits player development, competition and the overall business of our sport," MLS Executive Vice President of Player Relations & Competition Todd Durbin said in a statement. "Over the past several years, USL PRO has made great strides in restructuring their league in a manner that serves to complement the objectives of MLS. This is a win-win for all involved, and it demonstrates our strong commitment to growing North American professional soccer at all levels."
The 13 USL PRO teams will play in two interleague games against MLS Reserves sides. All of the matches will be a home-at-home series except for Antigua Barracuda FC of the Caribbean nation Antigua & Barbuda who play their matches at the MLS affiliate. All interleague matches will count in the official standings of the Reserve League and USL PRO.
Information on the schedule has not yet been determined.
"USL PRO has for the past several years been the most sophisticated and competitive professional soccer league under MLS," USL CEO Alec Papadakis said. "This new partnership with MLS will elevate and strengthen the level of competition for domestic professional soccer while simultaneously creating a more sustainable financial model for team owners. As a result, we expect this partnership will forge a seamless system for the development of players and coaches, and promote the expansion of professional soccer into new North American markets."
Ever wonder what players go through at the outset of preseason? The hours of running and fitness tests that prepare them for the rigors of the season are nothing but an intense challenge.
I recently I received a first hand look at these types of exercises as I underwent the U.S. national team fitness test. Read all about my experiences and how I fared here.

On Wednesday, CONCACAF announced the 13 venues that will host matches in this Summer's 2013 Gold Cup and it includes Pasadena's legendary Rose Bowl.
The premier tournament in North America, Central America and the Caribbean will take place across 13 venues in 13 different cities across the United States from July 7 to July 28. The cities are as followed: Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA; M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, MD; Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver, CO; Rentschler Field in East Hartford, CT; BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston, TX; Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL; JELD-WEN Field in Portland, OR and Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, UT. Not on the list is The Home Depot Center, which hosted group stage games in 2011.
Qualification for the tournament is already winding down as the final spot will be decided between Panama and Guatemala in the 2013 Copa Centroamericana. The winner will join Costa Rica, Honduras, Belize from the Central American side. Meanwhile, the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago, Haiti, and Martinique have already qualified from North America and the Caribbean respectively.
The 2011 edition of the tournament took place at the Rose Bowl with Mexico defeating the United States 4-2.
CARSON, Calif. – For the rest of their lives, the players selected in last week's 2013 MLS SuperDraft and Tuesday's 2013 MLS Supplemental Draft will remember where they were and what they were doing when they learned that their journey as professional soccer players had begun.
LA's SuperDraft selections Charlie Rugg (first round, 19th overall), Kofi Opare (second round, 24th overall), Greg Cochrane (second round, 38th overall) are no different as each had their own unique experience on draft day.
All three are participating in practice and I spoke to the trio to find out just where they were when they found out that their names were called on draft day.
RUGG: "I had a feeling, but I didn't want to jinx it. I was watching it online and it was a little delayed so I started getting calls before I found out. It was just the happiest moment of my life."
OPARE: "I was lying down in my bed and I had my laptop out as I was watched the SuperDraft, hopeful that a team would pick me. As it progressed, I had a feeling based on mock drafts where I'd be picked so when that time came around, I grew a little anxious. When it was LA's turn, I remember the commissioner saying that 'with the fifth pick in the second round of the 2013 MLS SuperDraft, the Los Angeles Galaxy select from the University of Michigan," and that's when I knew it'd be me. It was definitely an excitement and that's when I got a call from Bruce who welcomed me to the team. Then my phone just started going off with text messages and calls from so many people."
COCHRANE: "I was sitting there on the edge of my seat [watching the draft] and my agent had two seconds before and asked me, 'how do you like LA' and I said, 'what's not to like about LA,' so he told me that they were about to draft me. When you hear your name called, it's a good feeling then I got a call from coach Dave [Sarachan] telling me that they had selected me."
New LA Galaxy assistant coach Pat Noonan learned from some of MLS' finest coaches during his nine year career in MLS and he is hoping to take a little of each of them in his new coaching venture.
Noonan elected to retire during the offseason after his first season with the Galaxy and immediately filled the vacated assistant coach slot previously by new club Technical Director Jovan Kirovski. During his nine year career in MLS, Noonan received a first-hand coaching clinic as he learned from three of MLS' most storied bosses—Steve Nicol (New England Revolution), Sigi Schmid (Columbus Crew and Seattle Sounders FC), and Bruce Arena (LA Galaxy).
In his first preseason with the club, Noonan has been a regular with the Galaxy as he helps the staff lead them through fitness drills and even participating in jogs across the training ground.
Noonan discusses what he hopes to take from each of the three coaching legends below…
(On Bruce Arena…)
NOONAN: "I learned how a great coach handles adversity. Halfway through the year I think we were at the bottom of the table or close to it in the Western Conference, and he never once panicked. He kept his cool as did Curt and Dave and the players fed off that. At no point did he say I doubt that we can get in the playoffs or win a championship. He said it's only a matter of time and we're going to get in the playoffs and have a chance to win a championship, and he was right. I think that calmness was something I really admired and took note of."
(On Sigi Schmid…)
NOONAN: "With Sigi, it was his passion to want to win and his coaching ability. Much like Bruce he's very organized and has a great support staff. Like Bruce he cares so much about the players and the organization and he wanted to win. You admire that."
(On Steve Nicol, his coach with New England…)
NOONAN: "Stevie Nicol was another coach I had for a long time. A very laid-back guy, as much of a player's coach as you'll find. Do whatever you want as long as you're ready to come on game day to perform."
The LA Galaxy made one selection in Tuesday's MLS Supplemental Draft, selecting 22-year-old Georgetown midfielder Andy Riemer. LA passed with their two other selections.
A native of McLean, Pa. Riemer spent four years with the Hoyas, appearing in 82 games while scoring 21 goals and eight assists. In 2012, the left sided midfielder -- who was not invited to the MLS Combine -- made 25 appearances for Georgetown, scoring a career-high nine goals as well as two assists as the Hoyas reached the College Cup final for the first time in the University history. In this piece done before the Combine, Top Drawer Soccer's Travis Clark describes Riemer as a hard working player who has trained with MLS clubs in the past.
Riemer adds to the LA's wide depth, which was a point of concern for head coach Bruce Arena coming into the 2013 preseason. The left midfielder joins Hector Jimenez, Mike Magee, Colin Clark, Charlie Rugg, Greg Cochrane, Michael Stephens, Sean Franklin, and Landon Donovan as potential options for both wide positions.
Highlights of Reimer are below...

Assad forces destroy symbolic Syrian mosque
President Bashar al-Assad's forces on Saturday destroyed the Omari mosque in the southern city of Daraa where Syria's uprising erupted two years ago, opposition activists said on Sunday, according to reports from AFP news agency.
In an amateur video uploaded to YouTube, the mosque's towering minaret can be seen toppling into a cloud of dust after an apparent shelling.
On Sunday, the opposition Syrian National Council reportedly blamed the regime for the attack.
According to AFP, the Council said: "This regime of unrestrained barbarism targeted with tanks the minaret of the Omari mosque, a place full of symbols of civilisation and spirituality and humanity."
"The minaret of this mosque, which was build by Caliph Omar bin al-Khattab, is the first in the whole of the Levant, and has been destroyed by the soldiers of the tyrant," it added, referring to President Assad.
The Omari mosque played a pivotal role in the beginning of the Syrian uprising as the first place demonstrators gathered in March 2011 to protest the arrest and alleged torture of teenagers who sprayed anti-Assad graffiti, sparking the waves of weekly peaceful demonstrations that eventually spread across the country.
At the start of the uprising, the mosque was briefly used as a civilian hospital for wounded protestors and, for the past two years, it has been a gathering place for anti-regime protestors.
"It was the first place that embraced the Syrian revolution during its infancy, the first wave of demonstrations of pride and dignity came out through its doors," said the Council.
Opposition group, the Local Coordination Committees of Syria (LCC), reportedly condemned the destruction of the minaret as a "barbaric act," adding: "It is not just stones that are destroyed but also religious and historic heritage cherished by the Syrian people."
According to CNN, the LCC said there was shelling using surface-to-surface missiles and phosphorus bombs in Daraa and other parts of the country on Saturday.
Opposition activists have reportedly told the news site that the government is using an increasing number of phosphorus bombs - incendiary weapons that can cause serious chemical burns - in its attacks.
According to the LCC, by the end of Saturday, 115 people were killed in Syria, including 12 in Daraa.
Top Headlines
Why am I not surprised to read this? I have said all along, Bashar al Assad deems himself indispensible and irreplaceable, but if he were to take a dream trip, he would see that Syria and its neighboring countries would fare just as well if not better were he out of the picture altogether. No one cares that his family has ruled for four or however many generations as the key power in Syria. All we care about now is seeing that the rightful recognized leader of the FSA can take office to make it official. I have again said all along that Assad will not step down for to do so is to admit defeat and be shamed for the worse kind of human being that he has become. He doesn't deserve to even be in Syria. It is almost like he is defiantly saying if I can't have it, nobody will. Thus, he is striking out his anger and bitterness of spirit by destroying the most revered and holy places of the Syrian citizens and the nation of Syria.
There won't be much Syria left after Assad is done. Yet we are waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Meanwhile the Syrian people suffer; and Russia and China continue to make a mockery of the United Nations.
Since when did we surrender the world's conscience to the likes of totalitarian regimes?
Russia and China treat their people no better. Why would they blink an eye to the atrocities of Assad?

OXFORD, Ohio – Dayton's pitching held the Miami University baseball team to four hits to send the RedHawks to a 10-2 loss on Tuesday.
Tuesday's setback snapped MU's five-game winning streak and dropped it to 18-21 this season.
The Flyers took an early lead in the first when an errant pickoff throw scored Robby Sunderman from third base. With another runner at third, Christian Bokich struck out Ryan Berry and retired AJ Ryan on a groundout to avoid further damage.
The first two UD (18-19) batters reached in the third with Sunderman singling and Sergio Plascencia getting hit by a pitch. A fielder's choice groundout got the first out and Tommy Ricciardi gunned down Plascencia trying to steal second. With two away, Sunderman scored on a balk to put Dayton ahead 2-0.
UD starter Nick Gobert retired the first 11 batters he faced, but MU put together a threat with two away in the fourth. Chad Sedio singled to break up the perfect game and a Dayton error put two aboard. After a balk moved the tying runs to scoring position, Scott Slappey walked to load the bases. Gobert escaped the trouble by inducing an inning-ending groundout to keep the Red and White behind 2-0.
Dayton erupted for four runs in the top of the fifth. Aaron Huesman hit a two-run triple to make it a 4-0 ballgame. A Greg Rhude single scored Huesman and Glenn Jones capped the scoring with an RBI double to put the RedHawks down 6-0.
The Red and White took advantage of a Flyer miscue to get on the board in the bottom of the fifth. Reed Schlesner reached on an infield hit and a throwing error on the same play scored Ryan Elble from second base to cut the deficit to 6-1.
UD added a run in the seventh on Jones' RBI single, plated two more in the eighth on an error and a sacrifice fly and finished its scoring in the ninth by scoring on an error. The RedHawks got their final run in the bottom of the eighth when Sedio tripled and came around on Gary Russo's RBI single.
Christian Bokich (0-1) started on the mound for the Red and White and allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits in four innings. He walked three batters and struck out two. Offensively, Sedio recorded two of MU's four hits. UD starter Nick Gobert tossed eight innings and allowed two runs on four hits while walking four and striking out two.
The RedHawks are back on the field on Wednesday when they host Eastern Kentucky. First pitch is at 6 p.m.
