A Developmental Approach to Work with Prisoners' Children
The SOURCE group at CMC, sponsored in part through the Kravis Leadership Institute, has provided many opportunities for students to get involved in local non-profit organizations. One such organization is the Center for Children of Incarcerated Parents, which has conducted more than 60 educational, family reunification and therapeutic projects serving children of criminal offenders and their families using a developmental, relationship-based approach to practice.
Dr. Denise Johnston is the founding director of the Center and a leading national authority on children of criminal offenders. In 2002, she implemented the first Early Head Start program to be conducted in a jail in the United States. In collaboration with the California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation, she designed and directed the Mother-Child Reunification Program [MCRP] in California prisons. This comprehensive program of prison-based mother-child services included a leadership institute for imprisoned mothers and California's first prison nursery.
As principal investigator, Dr. Johnston has completed 15 major research projects for the Center, including the first longitudinal investigation of the children of criminal offenders, begun in 1991 in Southeast Los Angeles County, and the landmark "Jailed Mothers" (1991), "Children of Criminal Offenders & Foster Care" (2000), and "Children of Criminal Offenders in the Community" (2001) studies.
Dr. Johnston is the editor of the first American text on incarcerated parents and their children and the forthcoming Working with Children of Criminal Offenders & Their Families: A Handbook for Practitioners. Elected to Phi Beta Kappa, she graduated with highest honors from Mills College and received her doctorate from Stanford University School of Medicine.
How We Did — or Did Not — Get Health Care Reform
Undoubtedly the most controversial domestic legislation in 2009, health care reform today is still flux. So what is the state of comprehensive reform now, which Congress at the time of this writing had slated to pass through the parliamentary procedure of reconciliation? What will the final law look like and how will it affect the health care of the American people? To answer these questions and dispel some myths, Dr. Drew Altman, the President and CEO of the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation will join us.
The Kaiser Family Foundation is one of the nation's largest and most well respected organizations devoted to health research. An independent, private philanthropy, it has no connection whatsoever with the HMO Kaiser Permanente or Kaiser Industries. Dr. Altman led a complete overhaul of the organization starting in 1999, which is credited with establishing the Foundation as a leader in health policy.
Altman is a former Commissioner of the Department of Human Services for the state of New Jersey under Governor Tom Kean (1986-1989). As Commissioner, he developed nationally recognized initiatives in welfare reform, school-based youth services, programs for the homeless, and Medicaid managed care. Prior to joining the Kaiser Family Foundation in 1990, Dr. Altman was director of the Health and Human Services program at the Pew Charitable Trusts. He was a vice president of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation from 1981 to 1986, where he led the development of the Foundation's programs in HIV/AIDS, health services for the homeless, and health care financing. He served in a senior position in the Health Care Financing Administration in the Carter administration.
Dr. Altman received his B.A. from Brandeis University and Masters in political science from Brown University. He earned his Ph.D. in political science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, did his post-doctoral work at the Harvard School of Public Health, and taught at MIT before moving on to public service.
Drew Altman's Athenaeum lecture is in coordination with Professor Fred Lynch's Government 105 class, Organization of Health Care and Public Policy.
The Tipping Point: How Do Humanistic Studies Count?
Angus Fletcher is an Orphic seer, a curious universal scholar of Renaissance vintage, a fusion of the best traits of Northrop Frye and Kenneth Burke, his true peers.... His new book on Shakespeare, Marlowe, Donne, Milton and so much more is a marvelous demonstration that cosmology, rhetoric and psychology are not three entities but one. Here they fuse together with the magus Fletcher performing his superb critical alchemy.
-Harold Bloom, author of The Western Canon (1995)
Claremont McKenna College has the distinct privilege of hosting Angus Fletcher as the Podlich Fellow for spring semester 2010 and writer in residence at the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies.
Angus Fletcher is the Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the Graduate School at the City University of New York. His research interests include theory of literature, comparative literature, allegory, the literature of nature, Edmund Spenser, and postmodernisms. Professor Fletcher is the author of several works, including Allegory: The Theory of a Symbolic Mode (1964); Time, Space, and Motion in the Age of Shakespeare (2007); A New Theory for American Poetry: Democracy, the Environment, and the Future of Imagination (2006); The Transcendental Masque: An Essay on Milton's Comus (1972); Colors of the Mind: Conjectures on Thinking in Literature (1991); and The Prophetic Moment: An Essay on Spenser (1971). In 2005 he was awarded the Truman Capote Prize in Literary Criticism, recognizing his A New Theory for American Poetry: Democracy, the Environment, and the Future of Imagination (2006). Professor Fletcher also is the recipient of a 2007 Senior Fellowship from the Endowment of the Humanities.
A previous Fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation, Professor Fletcher was the recipient of a 2007 Senior Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities. In 2008-2009 he was the Getty Professor at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles.
In this first of two lectures Professor Fletcher will revisit Sir Charles Snow's 1959 pronouncements on "The Two Cultures" and will discuss a zone of interest shared by the Arts and Sciences, the practice of counting.
Learning about America from Starbucks
Over the last five years, Bryant Simon has visited more than 450 Starbucks in 11 different countries around the world to find out why overpaying for coffee has become the norm. What he discovered, and what he will talk about in his presentation at Claremont McKenna, is that Starbucks thrived by selling us the things we wanted and desired and that this had little to do with coffee, and everything to do with status, retail therapy, community, and politics. Starbucks, as he shows, sold us back our desires, desires created by broad changes in American life and thinking over last twenty years. The stories Simon uncovered on his caffeinated journey are not always uplifting or comforting. Looking closely at our latté lives produces a somewhat unflattering portrait of us – a growing nation of citizen consumers – and of our favorite coffee dispenser – Starbucks.
Bryant Simon is professor of History and the Director of American Studies at Temple University. He is the author of four books and collections, including Boardwalk of Dreams: Atlantic City and the Fate of Urban America (2004) and Everything but the Coffee: Learning about America from Starbucks (2009).

UNDER THE LIGHTS presents
Dinner Theater
The Dining Room by A.R. Gurney
DINNER 6:00 p.m., PERFORMANCE 6:45 p.m.
Each spring, the Athenaeum hosts a production by Under the Lights, CMC's student-run theater group. This year, UTL will perform The Dining Room, written by A.R. Gurney in 1981.
The play takes place in a typical dining room of a well-to-do household, and explores the lives of the families that have inhabited it over the years. It consists of eighteen independent scenes: some funny, some rueful, and some poignant. Throughout, the actors take on a range of characters: from small children to stern grandfathers to teenagers drinking when their parents are away. The scenes coalesce to tell a story about upper class American life, rich with humor and humanity.
The all-student cast features Nico Brancolini '11, Chloe Cotton '12, Shamil Hargovan '10, Will Kahn '12, Bri Riggio '10, Julia Starr '12, Max Sterling '10, Caroline Taylor '10, and Andie Wheatley '13. Cory Davia '10 directs.

Poetic Wisdom and the Barbarism of Civilization
"Amid gloomy forecasts of the decline of the humanities and the death of poetry, Angus Fletcher, a wise and dedicated literary voice, sounds a note of powerful, tempered optimism. He lays out a fresh approach to American poetry at large, the first in several decades, expounding a defense of the art that will resonate well into the new century"
-from the publisher's review of A New Theory for American Poetry (2006)
In his second Athenaeum lectures, Professor Fletcher will discuss the common belief in cycles of history, shared by many religious believers and by unbelievers like the poet James Joyce. In the context of Giambattista Vico's revolutionary treatise on history, The New Science, the lecture will suggest that today Americans need to develop what might be called "historical imagination."
Russia's Search for a New Foreign Policy
Russia is facing a double challenge: learning to live in a post-soviet and a post-modern world. Russia has given up its superpower role, but has not yet found its place in the complex and rapidly shifting 21st century global order. Geography and history have left Russia peripheral to both Europe and Asia, and it is not clear if Russia's political leaders have either the capacity or the will to come up with a strategy to overcome this marginalization. Russia's domestic political order has always been closely tied to its role in the international system, so uncertainty over Russian foreign policy reinforces doubts about its internal political model. Simplistic notions of Russia as a recidivist empire, or a nascent market democracy, do not match this complex reality.
Peter Rutland is the Colin and Nancy Campbell Professor in Global Issues and Democratic Thought at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, and an associate of the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard University.

No Apology: The Case for American Greatness
As the former Governor of Massachusetts and Presidential candidate in 2008, Mitt Romney needs little introduction to CMC students. Romney is a widely recognized leader in the Republican party and has distinguished himself as a successful politician-entrepreneur. In his address at the Athenaeum, Romney will offer his solutions to the challenges facing America today.
Romney first earned his leadership credentials as Vice President with the management consulting firm Bain & Company. He then went onto found Bain Capital, one of the nation's most successful venture capital and investment firms. Prior to 2002 he left the private sector to become President and CEO of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee for the Winter Olympic Games. In this role he directed an incredible turnaround of the Olympics, at one point saddled with $379 million in debt. Romney stayed in the public sector, running successfully as a Republican governor of Massachusetts in 2002. During his administration, he managed to balance the budget and even implement universal health-care reform. In the 2006 election cycle, he raised $27 million for GOP state legislator elections as the Chairman of the Republican Governors Association. Since then, he has become a political force to be reckoned with, amassing large amounts of popular support in the 2008 Republican primary and since then as a luminary in the party. He just recently published his new book No Apology: The Case for American Greatness (2010).
Governor Romney received his B.A., with Highest Honors, from Brigham Young University in 1971. In 1975, he was awarded an MBA from Harvard Business School, where he was named a Baker Scholar, and a J.D., cum laude, from Harvard Law School.
The Pacesetters Fellowship Program is the culmination of the hard work and dedication of alumni from the classes of 1948, 1949, and 1950 — the Pacesetters. Governor Mitt Romney is CMC's eleventh Pacesetter Fellow.

George Clooney Never Goes Out of Style – The Daily Swoon
Yeah, we're still thinking about the Oscars around here, and mostly how cute George Clooney still is after all these years. Prepare for a classic swoon.
Clooney can bridge generational gaps — like, you may not get along with your mom very well, but chances are you both think he's attractive. The man can bring people together. And just think, that girl you don't like very much at work probably thinks he's hot, too. Clooney puts life in perspective! (All the hottest men do, really.)
We were swooning hard over him at the Oscars earlier this week, where he was attending because a little movie he co-produced called 'Argo' was nominated for Best Picture. We're not going to say 'Argo' won because so many pretty men were involved, but …
Anyway! George Clooney has been hot since the '80s when he first popped up on 'Golden Girls' and 'Roseanne,' and he continued to be hot throughout the '90s, starring on 'ER.' And then he somehow got even hotter as the years went on. The man ages beautifully. And there's something to his persistent bachelorhood that's sort of alluring, too.

BELMONT – When Belmont Abbey College lost its regular season home finale last Wednesday against Mount Olive, Crusaders coach Stephen Miss felt his team had lost its chance to win the Conference Carolinas title.
On Saturday – and after the Abbey won convincingly at Lees-McRae – the Crusaders' got their reprieve.
When league-leader Barton lost at Erskine on Saturday, it means Belmont Abbey will head to Barton Tuesday with the opportunity to tie the Bulldogs.
"It's nice to put ourselves in a position to make a run at a league title," Miss said after Saturday's 92-65 win at Lees-McRae that improved the Abbey to 7-4 in road games this season. "We were disappointed at how we played Wednesday (in a 107-101 loss to Mount Olive) and felt we cost ourselves a chance at the league championship.
"But you just never know what's going to happen late in conference race so you have to find a way to win games."
As the league race enters the final week, Barton (13-5) and Limestone (13-5) share the lead and are the lone teams that control their destiny. Both can do no worse than clinch a tie for the league title by winning their final two games.
Barton hosts the Abbey (12-6) on Tuesday and Mount Olive (10-8) on Friday while Limestone visits Erskine (11-8) on Tuesday and Lees-McRae (2-16) on Friday.
Other contenders are King (13-6), Queens (10-8) and Coker (9-9), which hosts Belmont Abbey in the Crusaders' regular-season finale on Friday.
"This is the time of year you play for," Miss said. "And we've got a lot to play for."
School record
Tyshawn Good's 21 points against Lees-McRae in Saturday's victory gives him 705 points for the season – and a new school record.
Good, the leading scorer in NCAA Division II at 27.1 points per game, earlier this season set Belmont Abbey's NCAA Division II single-game scoring record with a 44-point performance at Pfeiffer.
Bob Stewart, a player on legendary Abbey coach Al McGuire's first two teams, set the school's overall single-game scoring mark with 61 points in a January 1959 game against Pembroke State at the Abbey Haid.
Women's race
Limestone (19-1) needs to win one of its last two games of the year – at Erskine on Tuesday and at Lees-McRae on Friday – to wrap up the league's regular season championship.
Barton (17-3) is in second, with Pfeiffer (15-5) in third, with four teams battling for fourth place – and the last opening-round tournament homecourt slot.
Coker (12-8) is in the lead for now, but Belmont Abbey, Mount Olive and Queens are tied for fifth with 11-9 records.

Lil BUB and the ASPCA have some BIG news!
We're joining forces to help special cats around the country with the creation of Lil BUB's BIG Fund for the ASPCA. All donations collected through this fund will be distributed as grants to assist cats that need special care or need a little extra help getting adopted due to conditions such as blindness, deafness, physical disabilities, birth defects, chronic illnesses, or old age.
"Lil BUB has come to represent the unique bond and love between people and animals," says ASPCA President & CEO Matt Bershadker. "The sad truth is that there are millions of cats at risk and who need our help. We're proud to partner with Lil BUB to raise awareness and funds for these special cats."
In addition to direct donations, 8-10 percent of the purchase price of items from the BUB STORE will go directly towards the fund to animal welfare groups that provide a variety of services for special needs cats, including medical care, rehabilitation, hospice care, relocation programs, adoption events and safety net programs to keep cats and families together.
We're so excited to be able to help special cats even more, thanks to Lil BUB's help. GOOD JOB, BUB!
bub is cut and so are all the pets i have ever seen and that is what every one should think don't ask that stupid question that go's like this "do you like cats or dogs?" i say and every one should say "all of thee above". thank you
Wonderful! Lil Bub, you are truly an inspiration!
My precious and dear Atlanta came to the NHSPCA while I was a volunteer there. She came in with 3 gun shot wounds to her right front leg, which had to be amputated. I saw her the day after her massive surgery. Our eyes met and I knew she would soon be adopted by me. It took over a month and 1/2 waiting for her, but she joined my life back in 2005 and has since traveled the USA with me, my husband and my dear late Petie Poodle (also an adopted love). So I too want to help continue raising money for those less fortunate cats and dogs....the love I have received from Atlanta kittie and Petie Poodle is worth more than all the money in the world!!! Thanks for posting this.

not trying to sound like an ahole here.... but if you're going to disreguard the names suggested then would you care to suggest any of your own.
people are at least putting in the effort of a name. and face it no matter what name is chosen there will be a group of people that do not like the name. some names like the Voodoo, Brass, Knights, etc have a legit chance of happening.

DARKE COUNTY - A Greenville woman was hospitalized after striking a tree Saturday morning south of Wayne Lakes.
Preliminary investigation showed that emergency personnel responded to a single vehicle crash on the 3300 block of State Route 121 South just before 10 a.m. It was reported that a female driver, identified as Lisa Hummel, of Greenville, was traveling northbound on State Route 121 when she lost control of a 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada at an ice and snow covered curve. The SUV went off the roadway, striking a tree and knocking the Hummel into the backseat of the vehicle. She was entrapped until emergency crews could free her from the wreckage.
Hummel was airlifted to Miami Valley Hospital from the scene where her condition was unknown.

In 2005, Shanghai held a very large-scale Lantern Festival about the Disney for popularizing it to more Chinese people. We were very honored to make lanterns for this great event.
Shanghai Disney Lantern Festival showed more than 30 Disney stories, about 34 scenes of Disney stories with lanterns exhibited in Changfeng Park in 2005, Shanghai. And it held on evening of April 28, lasted itno June.
All these colorful and huge cartoon characters lantern were of the same size of the ones in the Disney Land, and combine with the lake, trees, lawns, hills in the park harmoniously. Each scene area will cover from 150 to 200 square meters.
In comparison with the one held in Singapore, Changfeng Park, which included a lake, was more suitable for a Disney Lantern Festival. Shanghai Disney Lantern Festival is the biggest one in Disney history.

CARSON, Calif. --There was only one word to describe Omar Gonzalez's performance in Saturday's MLS Cup -- omnipresent.
Throughout the opening stages of the match, Gonzalez provided an immense presence in the air, consistently batting away crosses and dangerous chances from the Houston Dynamo. But Gonzalez's presence wasn't just on defense as in the 60th minute, the Galaxy defender scored the tying goal off a lofted cross by Juninho to pull LA level. Five minutes later, the Galaxy would take the lead for good off a Landon Donovan penalty kick that was won, in part due to another header by Gonzalez.
When the Galaxy took the lead, Gonzalez's work did not stop there as he was able to repeatedly able to silence the Dynamo defense en route to being named MLS Cup MVP -- becoming the first defender ever to win the honor. Following the match, Gonzalez admitted that his presence in the air was vital to LA's victory.
"I think that's just what I have to do, game in and game out. That's what I'm known for, it was just like any other game. I had to get out of the nerves out of it and just focus on playing a good game. The whole team did well," said Gonzalez. "For me, winning MVP is great. I never thought that I would be winning it, it was pretty emotional for me because at the beginning of the year, I didn't see myself getting back to this level and I was just thinking if I was ever going to come back the same way. Today was really special for me, I know that I'm able to go even further now."
After a season that saw him battle back from a serious knee injury to become the Galaxy's fulcrum in central defense, Gonzalez took a moment after the victory to reflect on the 2012 season.
"I think I was looking at it from a totally different perspective at the very beginning of this year. I was coming in maybe once a week when those hard times were happening and those days that I would come in, everyone's heads would be down. I think Bruce's experience just took over and said 'we're going to be fine,' we ended up being just that," said Gonzalez. "In the very middle of the season everyone started turning around and everything turned out the way Bruce said. Everyone started fighting for each other and it just turned out to be an amazing season for me, myself, the organization. It's just truly outstanding players and friends on this team that I've made. It's been a really special year."
CARSON, Calif. -- When A.J. DeLaGarza was felled by a left MCL sprain in late September, many worried that the Galaxy would struggle to repeat their MLS Cup title, but rookie Tommy Meyer stepped up when needed.
On Saturday, Meyer was tested early and often, but provided a solid contribution as he helped blanket childhood friend Will Bruin and forward Calen Carr. Meyer was at his finest during the final stages of the match as he as well as MLS Cup MVP Omar Gonzalez were able to shut down Houston.
"They have dangerous guys making runs out there, that is how they scored their goal," Meyer said. "I didn't do as well as I should have, but they are dangerous with Brad Davis on the wing, he served in some good balls, but Omar [Gonzalez] just cleared out everything. He is unbelievable, the best defender in the league by far, he was hurt for the first part of the year, but the way he came back, he helped out defense out unbelievably."
Following the MLS Cup, Meyer was quick to reflect on a crazy first season.
"There is always a possibility when you come into an organization like this, but honestly I am just happy to be a part of it," said Meyer. "I have never won a championship before so this is unbelievable. I learned stuff from earlier in the season and tried not to make those mistakes again, but once the playoffs started I listened to Omar and the coaches, the guys in front of me helped me along."
CARSON, Calif. -- Below are thoughts from Robbie Keane after the LA Galaxy's 3-1 victory over the Houston Dynamo.
(On winning the game...)
KEANE: "It's obviously fantastic. It means a lot more this year than it did last year because I was here for the start of the season. It felt like I contributed a lot more this season than last season. Obviously, delighted. Full credit to the team and the attitude that we've shown the last few months. People had wrote us off after the start of the season. The second half of the season was fantastic. We were certainly the best team the last few months and I think we deserved to win it."
(On the penalty kick...)
KEANE: Me and Landon just looked at each other and he pointed. I respected the penalty taker because I've been a penalty taker my whole career. If Landon wanted to take it, he would have taken it but he pointed to me and thankfully I put it away. I think we knew that the game was over then."
(On the disallowed goals...)
KEANE: "I wasn't really too frustrated. The first one was offside. You half know as a player and then I saw the replay. The second one was not a foul from Omar. We'd be talking about it if we lost the game, but we didn't so it doesn't matter."
(On his game...)
KEANE: "I don't to speak about myself too much. The most important thing about football is the team and being surrounded by players that help you. You can't win a game on your own. I've been very fortunate. We are a good team and we've been helping each other. The team's helped me score goals and if I can help them since I've been here, so great."
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy began the season poor going 3-8-2 in the first 13 matches, but finished as strong as they qualified for the postseason, eventually charging to the MLS Cup Final.
Perhaps then, it was fitting that LA would win MLS Cup by facing even more adversity, this time due to an early match miss by Landon Donovan in the 13th minute and a Calen Carr goal just a minute away from full time to put them down 1-0 into the half. As was the case throughout the season, timely play from Omar Gonzalez proved to be part of LA's saving grace as Gonzalez powered home a diagonal ball by Juninho in the 60th minute to level the match. Five minutes later, Mike Magee earned a penalty kick on a Ricardo Clark handball that set up a Donovan penalty. LA would add a third in stoppage time off a Robbie Keane penalty kick to add an exclamation point to the victory.
After a rocky start to the match -- and the year -- it was a fitting end.
"It was the perfect microcosm, the whole thing really came full circle really," said defender Todd Dunivant. "we dealt with the adversity again and came out at halftime. That was a goal that could break your back and that's what happened in the Seattle series...with this team at halftime, we've been through it enough to know that we did well enough in the first half and had some good chances, but were a bit unlucky because it was a good run by Calen Carr and a good finish,we came out and we responded like we did all year."
Although the win was analogous to LA's run, head coach Bruce Arena admitted that LA's run began after LA's trip to Washington, D.C. and the White House.
"When the season ended last year, we had an endless tour of obligations and we couldn't put the 2011 season behind us and I think that it finally came to closure when we went to the White House in May. I just said...let's put it past us and now we have to start putting this behind us," said Arena. "The guys responded well, but oddly enough in June, we still had a horrible run, but you could see things were getting better. There's an important game in Salt Lake, which was a character test and we kind of got that back then we just literally battled everyday."
After those key moments, Arena set forth calculating the proper formula that would ultimately make the Galaxy MLS Cup winners.
"We just laid it out to the guys and one thing, our local media was convincing me everyday that it was impossible to make the playoffs and I showed our guys the math. They told me that you're freaking crazy and it can't be done so I laid out an equation for our guys that with 17 games left, we had to get 27 to 30 points to make the playoffs," said Arena. "We ended up getting 34, which is more than anyone had. We had a focus about it, but the great part was that we started our first game playing Philadelphia at home and we lost. We had actually had 34 points in 16 games, but we made it clear that was the target. We reminded them everyday that we had to chip away at it and we managed to do it, but it was a real focus on a part of the whole team and the whole organization.
"It was a test of character, obviously, a test in leadership. I could write a pretty good book with a five star general now on leadership. I've been through the wars this year," said Arena. "It's really just, we have enough talent to win games, you just have to really, do the best job that you can to maximize performance. We focused on that, did it and got it done."
CARSON, Calif. -- Much speculation has followed Landon Donovan over the past few weeks and much will center around him now the LA Galaxy's season has concluded, but Donovan admitted that the MLS Cup title as well as some added family news has provided him some much needed perspective as he prepares to contemplate his future.
Donovan played a key role in LA's 3-1 victory over the Houston Dynamo, but the night did not start as planned as he missed a shot from close range in the 13th minute that could have given LA an early lead. However, Donovan gave LA the go-ahead-goal in the 65th minute as he slotted home a penalty kick to seal LA's win.
After his fourth MLS Cup title, Donovan was quick to admit that the win provided some perspective as he contemplates his future during the postgame press conference.
"It's been a long two years, for all of us. It's not a woe-is-me story, but I have to listen to my heart and my gut and right now my gut says to get away for a while," said Donovan. "I had a really nice moment where my sister just had a baby and she came down on the field and he was sleeping on her, and it sort of puts it all in perspective and makes me realize I want to be closer to my family for awhile and then figure out the soccer later."
A few notes from the LA Galaxy's 2-1 victory over the Houston Dynamo to secure MLS Cup 2012.
*David Beckham left the match in stoppage time, ending his six year career for the Galaxy.
*Donovan now has 146 MLS total goals in regular season (124) and postseason (22), breaking D.C. United forward Jaime Moreno's record of 145.
*Donovan is now tied with Jeff Agoos and Brian Mullan with five MLS Cups as a player.
*Bruce Arena has now won four MLS Cups, more than any other manager and is the first manager to win back to back titles for two different clubs.
*This is the first time that the LA Galaxy have won back-to-back titles.
*Omar Gonzalez was awarded the 2012 MLS Cup MVP award. He is the first defender to win the award.

MLS Cup is finally here and in a few hours, either the LA Galaxy or the Houston Dynamo will be crowned the champions of Major League Soccer for the 2012 season.
The Galaxy have the chance to win their fourth MLS Cup in franchise history and Bruce Arena has the chance to be the first coach to win four MLS Cups as well as first to win back-to-back titles with two different teams. If Houston wins, it will be Dominic Kinnear's third MLS Cup and he'd join Arena as the only coaches to win three MLS Cup titles.
*The match will be the final game for David Beckham with the LA Galaxy and on Thursday, he addressed the end of his Galaxy career.
*The head coach at the start of Beckham's time in MLS, Frank Yallop addressed the hoopla that surrounded Beckham's first year in MLS.
*Beckham will be matched up against the talented Brad Davis, who the Englishman is quick to label one of the "great" players in MLS.
*Despite the praise from Beckham, Davis was quick to say that Houston is not distracted by the fact the match is David Beckham's final game.
*There are no injury concerns for LA as Marcelo Sarvas has declared himself fit for tonight's match.
*Tommy Meyer will face off against his old friend Houston forward Will Bruin and in my feature of the week, I chronicle Meyer's rise from St. Louis to MLS Cup.
*During his press conference on Friday, Robbie Keane declared that he is incredibly pleased to be in Southern California and committed his future to the Galaxy.
*For your listening pleasure, listen to Joe Tutino's conversations with Bruce Arena and Edson Buddle in the latest editions of the All-Access Podcast.
*For a more general look at the game, read LAGalaxy.com staff writer Larry Morgan's preview of the match.
*For my money, the match up of the game, Boswell was fantastic against D.C. United in shutting down their attack, but he'll face Robbie Keane , who has scored five postseason goals to date.
Two of the finest strikers of a set piece in MLS, expect the game to turn based on a strike by one of these two.
Dunivant will have his hands full dealing with the talented Honduran who has been a nuisence for opposing defenses this year. Expect Dunivant to look to frustrate the Honduran with high pressure early and often.
Arguably the two best head coaches in MLS history and the only coaches to win back-to-back MLS Cup titles. Kinnear was the last to do so in '06-'07 and he'll be eager to prevent Arena from going back-to-back for a second time.
PREDICTED LINEUP: Saunders; Franklin, Gonzalez, Meyer, Dunivant; Wilhelmsson, Juninho, Beckham, Magee; Donovan, Keane
The LA Galaxy will go for back-to-back MLS Cup titles this evening against the Houston Dynamo at 1:30 p.m.
LA will have their hands full with a much improved Dynamo side that boasts a number of weapons including Boniek Garcia and Brad Davis as well as tenacious midfielder Ricardo Clark. In my Three Points to the match, I break down how the Galaxy will be able to defeat Houston.
Check out my Three Points below...

CARSON, Calif. -- Make no mistake, Robbie Keane is loving his time in Los Angeles.
Keane has played a key role in the Galaxy's run to MLS Cup by tallying five goals n the postseason after finishing the regular season with 16 goals and nine assists en route to an MLS First XI selection. Ahead of his second straight final in less than two years, the Irish forward declared that he's pleased to be a member of the Galaxy.
"I'm really enjoying my time here, and as long as I keep enjoying myself and as long as I keep letting my football do the talking I'll be very happy to stay," said Keane. "I look forward to a number of years here.
"I'm very happy and very content here," Keane added. "When you're playing in a team like this and getting to championship finals every year, for me this is the second year in a row, so that certainly does help."
The Irishman was quick to admit that he has become so integrated with the Galaxy that he is not considering an offseason loan.
"It isn't something I've even thought about to be honest with you," he said. "My main focus now is tomorrow's game and let's see how I feel, but for now my first prerogative is the LA Galaxy and that will always be the case."

yeah that would be bad. I just reprogram the chip to stop that as soon as boost is present; in the event the wot switch fails to function (maybe your case?) it doesn't really matter since the ecu software can fall back on the map sensor which makes more sense to me.
Poor software design choice on VW imo. So i changed the design.

I wanted an everyday stylish wig to wear that looked very natural. I liked Harper's short bob style which was a nice change from the Calla wig, I wear, my other favourite. My one complaint is that the quality of the Harper wig is not as good as I expected. I really like this wig and wouldn't mind paying more for a higher quality product. However, I have partly compensated for this by buying a number of these wigs so as to have a fresh one when I need it most.

Harper looks great right out of the box. The style is young and modern. Sunset blonde is a pretty color. It's just a bit lighter/brighter than my usual 14/26A. I always get compliments when I wear it, and overall I'm happy with it. However...It is described as a lace front wig, but it is NOT! No natural looking hairline. It just has lacy material inside at the top, which does not provide a natural looking part like a mono top wig would. Would I recommend this? Yes and no. I would recommend this wig highly if you don't need a lace front. If you order this wig expecting one, you will be disappointed. I'm giving this one a 3 because of the misleading description.

This is a fantastic wig!
By Summermom2
from Seattle, WA
This is by far the best wig that I have ever purchased! It's flirty, fun and super light and the color is very believable. The best part is...it makes me look a lot younger! I have worn wigs for years and easily paid much, much more per wig and felt like I had to settle for what I got. No more. The value and quality can't be beat. I am a very, very satisfied customer. Can you tell?

Boy do I love this wig!!!
By Muffin
from Northern Wisconsin
I have tried so many wigs = I have to wear one for the last few years due to hair loss from Lupus and the Harper has become my favorite = the day I received it I immediately ordered another - I usually wear a large but decided to try a average and it seems just fine = would probably order one in large if available = Such a cute wig and can be backcombed and sprayed and pretty much one you can shake out and wear out of the box - Luv it

I've had to wear wigs for at least 20 years. They are all too short or too "old" looking, too much curl, too long or too much hair. I have a long face I have to have one at least this length on the sides. My ONLY wish is that it came in Jaclyn Smith COLOR AUBURN SUGAR!

Postern of Fate: A Tommy and Tuppence Mystery
Postern of Fate: A Tommy and Tuppence Mystery (Paperback)
Tommy and Tuppence Beresford have just become the proud owners of an old house in an English village. Along with the property, they have inherited some worthless bric-a-brac, including a collection of antique books. While rustling through a copy of The Black Arrow, Tuppence comes upon a series of apparently random underlinings.
However, when she writes down the letters, they spell out a very disturbing message: "Mary Jordan did not die naturally." And sixty years after their first murder, Mary Jordan's enemies are still ready to kill. . . .

BENTON, AR -- Empty spaces at a car dealership usually indicate folks are coming and buying.
At Car World, they're coming and stealing!
"Besides being stupid, it's extremely bold," Dennis Clay, the owner, said.
Clay showed FOX16 video from one of those early morning thefts. Surveillance reveals thieves walking onto the lot, and then later carefully and craftily putting a license plate on a Tahoe before driving off!
"You got a lot of visibility here. You wouldn't have thought anything like this would happen," Clay said.
Clay has no idea who the thieves are, but he recalls a group of suspicious men asking to look at the Tahoes. They even cornered his salesman, which made him uncomfortable.
"I went out with him and then we had someone monitoring it and ready to call the police," Clay said.
That's $22,000 just gone from the lot in an instant. Clay hopes to track the crooks down and return the SUVs to their spaces.
"We love this area. We think it's great. This crew is professional obviously after you see them on tape," Clay said.
If you have any information, call the Benton Police Department.

News and Excerpts
Dance Units for Middle School author Judi Fey received one of the highest honors in her profession when she was given the R. Tait McKenzie Award by the Maryland Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance (MAHPERD).
The award is given annually for leadership and innovation and service in the field of health, physical education, recreation, and dance. Recipients must have held posts at the county, district, and state levels.
Fey, who has worked for Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS) for nearly 40 years, has also served on the Board of Directors of the Maryland Council for Dance, and worked on Maryland State Department of Education committees to enhance opportunities for scholastic dance across the state. She is the author of the new book Dance Units For Middle School, a guide to scholastic dance instruction for teachers and other educators.
Fey also has coordinated AACPS' Dance Festival performances since 1981. Last year, more than 2,640 dancers displayed their talent in six concerts across the county.
"It's a huge honor for me to receive this award," Fey said. "I have been privileged throughout my career to work with dedicated professionals and dance students who are as passionate about their craft as I am. I believe we have made great strides in the quality of dance education we provide students in our county, and those strides have been made possible by talented educators who work incredibly hard for children every day."
Fey will receive the award at MAHPERD's annual conference on October 15, 2010, in Towson.

Max & Ruby are all dressed up and ready for Halloween! Make this pair of "cake" pops for party guests and trick or treaters, or as a fun activity with your Max & Ruby fan.
Watch Max & Ruby weekdays on Nick Jr.
Cut six of the doughnut holes in half. Trim 1/8 inch from one side of each of the remaining 24 doughnut holes (this is so they can get close together when assembling). Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper, set aside.
Melt the white candy melts and the shortening in the microwave, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth, about 1 minute. Dip the cut side of 24 trimmed doughnut holes. Press two trimmed sides together, sandwiching a lollipop stick in between. Arrange in the prepared cookie sheet and repeat with the remaining doughnut holes to make 12 pops. Place in the refrigerator until set, about 5 minutes.
Dip the cut side of the doughnut hole half and arrange, cut-side down, at the opposite side of the lollipop stick to make the bunny head. Repeat with the remaining pops to make 12. Return to the refrigerator until set, about 5 minutes longer.
Spread some of the vanilla frosting to fill any of the large gaps on the pops and make smooth.
Reheat the melted candy until smooth, about 10 seconds more. Carefully dip, or spoon the candy melts over the doughnut hole assembly to coat. Allow the excess candy to drip off and transfer to the prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining doughnut hole pops, reheating the candy melts if necessary. Transfer to the refrigerator to set, about 10 minutes.
Cut the marshmallows in half on the diagonal. Use a dot of melted candy to attach the marshmallow pieces, flat side down and cut side facing you, as the ears on top of the doughnut assembly. Sprinkle the cut side with some of the pink sugar.
Spoon the chocolate frosting into a freezer-weight resealable bag. Press out the excess air and seal. Snip a very small corner, about 1/16 inch from one corner. Pipe the eyes, nose, and whiskers on the doughnut assembly.
For the vampire, cut two small triangles from the mini marshmallows as the teeth. Attach, pointed side down along the mouth on six of the pops. Pipe a small amount of red frosting as the "blood" on the marshmallow teeth. Poke a hole in the center of the black paper liners and thread onto the lollipop stick as the cape.
For the princess, pipe a decorative crown along the base of the ears with the blue frosting. Add the pink sprinkles to the crown. Use a clean cotton swab to add the blush and lips to the pops. Poke a hole in the center of the six pink liners. Thread onto the lollipop stick as the collar.

Comments about Easton EA90 XC 26" MTN Wheel 2013:
I have two sets of these wheels on two different bikes. Both are used in Arizona in super chunky conditions. I ride really hard/fast with tire pressures at 28lbs (front) and 30lbs (rear). I have no complaints about these wheels. I have never dented them and they have remained true since purchase. These are extremely light and fast. For the money, you cant beat them. I used to run Mavic Crossmax's and have since replaced them with these. I love them

Bocavirus facts
What is bocavirus?
Bocavirus (also termed HBoV or human bocavirus) is a small (20 nm in size) non-enveloped virus with a single strand of DNA that comprises its genome. The bocavirus genus is a member of the Parvoviridae family, and to date, three strains have been identified: HBoV, HBoV-2, and HBoV-3. Bocavirus is a new viral genus that was discovered in 2005 in upper respiratory secretions from acutely ill children. The name bocavirus was derived by combining the names bovine parvovirus with canine minutevirus with which bocavirus shares some genetic and structural characteristics. The ICTVdB (International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses database) has detailed its genome and structure.
Although this virus has been found worldwide in humans and animals, there is ongoing research and discussion about this virus as being a pathogen that causes infection, either alone or in conjunction with other virus types. Many investigators consider this newly discovered virus genus as an "emerging viral pathogen" because it is only proven to be associated with infections but not yet proven to be a cause of them, either alone or in conjunction with other viruses. However, another member of the Parvoviridae family, a parvovirus termed B19, causes erythema infectiosum (fifth disease or "slapped cheek" syndrome), hydrops fetalis (severe anemia in pregnant women), and aplastic crisis (cessation of red blood cell production) in individuals that have sickle cell disease. Bocavirus has not been associated with these conditions caused by parvovirus B19.

Gallery: "Bicycle Portraits" Raise Cycling Awareness in South Africa
Engelbrecht is a South Africa-based photographer who has previously documented his home country in the book "African Salad," also from Day One Publications.
Project founders Stan Engelbrecht and Nic Grobler began documenting cyclists in early 2010. They're infinitely curious about people and their relationship to bikes. The portraits may be gathered into a real-life book if the project gets enough backers on kickstarter: the closing date is September 16th and there's still a few thousand dollars left to go. Backers who pledge $50 or more effectively pre-order a copy of the book. Englebrchant and Grober are also creating video portraits as they go, fascinated by the diverse population of South Africa that is united behind their bikes.

Ireland beat Italy 36-6 in Dunedin to set up a quarter-final showdown with Wales in Wellington.
This result means the Wallabies finish second in Pool C and will play the Springboks next Sunday, also in Wellington, with the other two quarter-finals – England vs France and New Zealand vs Argentina – taking place in Auckland.
Italy came into this match needing an upset win to progress to the play-offs, but two Irish tries in the space of five minutes early in the second half shattered that dream.
First, winger Tommy Bowe sliced through a gaping hole in the Italy defence and sent captain Brian O'Driscoll away on his inside. Then Gordon D'Arcy burst through the midfield to take play back into Italy's 22 and the ball was sent wide to winger Keith Earls, who dived over in the left-hand corner. Ronan O'Gara, who had an outstanding night with the boot, slotted both conversions.
The Irish should have been awarded a penalty try with two minutes to go when Bowe was tackled without the ball in Italy's in-goal area, but Earls scored his second soon after to round off an emphatic win.
Ireland had led just 9-6 at half-time, but were unlucky to have a try disallowed when referee Jonathan Kaplan incorrectly ruled that flank Sean O'Brien's pass had gone forward to Bowe, whose first touch went backwards before he regathered the ball.
However, the big talking point of the first half came in the 22nd minute when TV replays clearly showed Italy hooker Leonardo Ghiraldini eye-gouging Ireland loosehead Cian Healy. But none of the officials saw it and the Irish were penalised for retaliation.
Minutes before that incident, Italy had come close to scoring but their driving maul was collapsed by Paul O'Connell, who was lucky not to be yellow carded. Martin Castrogiovanni then had a crack at the line only to be tackled inches short.
The Italy tighthead was in top form and his injury late in the first half was a massive setback for his side considering how his loosehead Salvatore Perugini was struggling against Mike Ross.

Java has been one of the most (the most?) popular programming languages till this day, but this also brought controversy as well.
A lot of people now like to bash Java simply because "it's slow", or simply because it's not language X, for example.
My question isn't related to any of these arguments at all, I simply want to know what you consider a design flaw, or a poor design choice in Java, and how it might be improved from your point of view.
Something like this.
