So just how good was the 2007 Fiesta Bowl?
Boise State's win over Oklahoma was perfect college football theater and
easily one of the most entertaining games ever played. After such a
phenomenal event with so many heart-stopping twists and turns, it's easy
to make the knee-jerk call that it was the greatest ending/game/bowl of
all-time, but was it?
There was the David vs. Goliath aspect. There was the gut-check comeback
by Oklahoma in the final minute, including a two-point conversion
attempt that required three tries before Sooner quarterback Paul
Thompson was finally able get the job done. There was the
they-can't-lose-like-that interception thrown by Jared Zabransky for an
Oklahoma touchdown on the first play from scrimmage after the Sooners
tied it. There was the epic drive to knot the score back up to force
overtime with a 4th and 18 hook-and-ladder play that now takes a seat
right next to the Duriel Harris to Tony Nathan classic in Miami's loss
to San Diego in the 1982 AFC playoff game. There was Adrian Peterson, in
what was likely his final carry in a historic career, ripping off a
25-yard touchdown in overtime. There was a gimmick play on fourth down
for Boise State to get its overtime touchdown, and then the
coup de grâce , the Statue of Liberty
two-point conversion for the win.
(Deep breath).
Any one of those aspects would've made the Fiesta Bowl a classic, but
when you put them all together, the game makes a legitimate case for
being considered the greatest of all-time, and not just the greatest
bowl game.
As far as excitement, it's hard to vote against it, and this could be
seen ten, 15, 25 years from now as one of the most important games ever
if it becomes the gateway to equality between the "mid-majors" and the
big boys. It might also be a spark for further debate about a playoff
... who wouldn't want to see the Broncos play the Ohio State-Florida BCS
Championship Game winner?
However, at the moment, as far as how you want to define the game as
great, it has to take a back seat to a few of the national championships
only because of the significance to the season. At the end of the day,
this was an unbelievable game between two top ten teams; it wasn't No. 1
vs. No. 2.
First of all, let's get rid of the Boise State-as-a-little-guy myth that
so many want to cling to. Yeah, the Broncos play in the WAC and yeah,
Oklahoma might be viewed by some as the Evil Empire, the Apollo Creed,
or the bad guy in this game, but Boise State had won 85 games in eight
years coming into Monday night's game. This was hardly some fluky,
one-hit wonder; this has been a rock-solid program for several seasons
with a blowout win over the same Oregon State team that beat USC this
year, a walk-in-the-park win over a Nevada team that pushed Miami in the
MPC Computers Bowl, and wins over Hawaii, Utah and San Jose State, who
all looked great in their respective bowl wins.
Oklahoma, as good as it was being the Big 12 champion, wasn't the
juggernaut of past seasons and didn't beat a who's who of top teams. It
was only a year ago when Oklahoma lost at home to TCU and almost blew it
the following week to Tulsa. In other words, Boise State might have
shocked the world, but it wasn't an out-of-left-field surprise to anyone
who follows college football. The Little Engine That Could aspect to the
game matters as far as national perception, but it's probably going to
be overblown.
Secondly, excitement is in the eye of the beholder. When ranking the
thrill level of games, Boise State's win is in the team photo of
greatest finishes because of the sheer number of amazing moments, but on
an all-time level, the 1982 Stanford-Cal band play, the 1984 Flutie Hail
Mary to beat Miami, and the USC final drive to beat Notre Dame in 2005,
with the fourth down pass to Dwayne Jarrett and the "Bush Push" for the
game-winning score, have to be up there.
For the improbable and impossible, the 2007 Fiesta Bowl still can't
quite touch the 1980 Holiday Bowl, when BYU was down 45-25 to SMU with
less than four minutes to play, and got a blocked punt, a defensive
stand, and a Hail Mary, or as BYU called it, a Save The Game pass, from
Jim McMahon to win 46-45. Heck, you could even argue that Texas Tech's
Insight Bowl win over Minnesota this year, coming back from 31 down and
having to start its final drive on its own nine with no timeouts and
less than a minute to play, was just as wild.
So where does the 2007 Fiesta Bowl rank among the all-time greatest bowl
Here's the criteria: 1) It had to have some major significance. If it
wasn't for a national title, something truly special had to happen. 2)
The finish had to be thrilling. Every great story ends with a bang. 3)
The game was well played. As fun as the 2007 Fiesta Bowl might have been
to watch, it was hardly a well-played game by Oklahoma until the end.
With that in mind, the ten greatest bowl games of all-time (in a
completely debatable list) are ...
1970 Cotton Bowl
21 ... Notre Dame 17
already being declared the national champion by President Richard
Nixon, Texas still had to win it on the field against a great Irish
team in Notre Dame's first bowl game in 45 years. The Irish
went up 10-0 highlighted by a Joe Theismann 54-yard touchdown pass,
while the defense was keeping the Longhorn wishbone attack in check. Texas didn't panic going up 14-10 on two long
marches as the option attack finally started to work. With just under seven minutes to play, Theismann connected
with Jim Yoder for a 24-yard scoring pass for a 17-14 lead and an
apparent upset. It was then up to Longhorn quarterback James Street, and the daring play calling of head coach
Darrell Royal, to pull out the championship. Street converted two fourth down plays on a 17-play
drive including a 44-yard completion on fourth and three. With 1:08 to
play, Billy Dale took a pitch from Street for a score to take the lead
for good. A
Texas interception squashed the final Irish drive, and finally, the
national title was really won. Beyond being able to win the national
title, this game was the 20th
straight win for the Longhorns. Texas would extend the streak to 30
in a row before losing to the Irish in the 1971 Cotton Bowl.
9. 1997 Rose Bowl
State 20 ... Arizona State 17
Its hard to
look at this game without considering what might have been. It could've been the unbeaten Buckeyes against
the undefeated and lightning fast Sun Devils of Arizona State for
the national title, but OSU's Shawn Springs fell down allowing
Michigan's Tai Streets catch what would be the game-winning touchdown
pass in the last game of the regular season. Even so, it was an amazing
Rose Bowl game anyway. After ASU hit a field goal to go up 10-7 in the
second half, OSU quarterback Joe
Germaine connected with Dimitrious Stanley for a 72-yard touchdown
pass. Then the fireworks really began. Arizona State's Jake
Plummer, who had led the Sun Devils to several heart-stopping wins
during the season, marched the offense to a big late drive including a 29-yard
completion on fourth down to keep the national title dream alive. On third down on
the OSU 11, Plummer weaved and waggled his way through the Buckeye D
for an apparent game-winning touchdown run, but Germaine had one
final shot. With the help of several ASU pass interference
penalties, the Buckeyes moved the ball to the Sun Devil five.
Germaine coolly hit David Boston for the game
winning score with only :19 to play for the thrilling win. The night after this game,
Florida beat number one ranked Florida State in the Sugar Bowl. If
the Sun Devils had won the Rose Bowl, they would've been national
1979 Cotton Bowl
Notre Dame
35 ... Houston 34
Forever known as the
chicken soup game, a young Irish quarterback named Joe Montana had
his national coming out party (even though he had already won a
national title the year before) by leading an improbable comeback
against Houston while fighting hypothermia. At halftime, Montana was
fed chicken soup to try and bring his body temperature up after
having problems on the chilly Dallas day. With 7:37 to play, the
Cougars were up 34-12 and put their backups in the game.
Notre Dame's Tony Belden blocked a Houston
punt, which was picked up by Steve Cichy for a 33-yard touchdown to
get the ball rolling.
Montana then connected with Vegas Ferguson for a two-point
conversion to bring the score within 14. After Houston had to punt
again, Montana took over running for a two-yard score at the end of
a long drive. He then hit Kris Haines
for a two-point conversion, and all of a sudden, the Irish were
within six. All hope
appeared lost for the Irish when Houston recovered a Montana fumble with just over
two minutes to play, and with the starters back in, appeared all set
to run out the clock. When the drive bogged down, Houston was faced with
a dilemma on fourth and one on its own 29-yard
line with just 35 seconds to play. Cougar head coach Bill Yeoman,
fearing another blocked punt, elected to go for it needing just one
yard for the game to be over. Notre Dame freshman
defensive lineman Joe Gramke made a stop, and Montana had one last
chance. The final drive started with an 11-yard Montana run followed
by a completion to Haines for ten more yards. Montana got a pass off
into the end zone on a quick pass, but it went incomplete. Now, there
was just two seconds remaining. On the final play, Montana rolled
right and fired a bullet to Haines for a touchdown in the front
corner of the end zone. Joe Unis hit
the extra point, but the Irish
was called for an illegal procedure penalty.
Haines converted the extra point on the second chance, and the
Montana legend was born.
1979 Sugar Bowl
Alabama 14 ... Penn State 7
It should say something when legendary college football
broadcaster Keith Jackson calls a game the greatest he's ever seen. The
No. 1 Nittany Lions boasted All-America quarterback Chuck
Fusina and an offense that was beating up on everyone, while the
defense was ranked first in the nation and played like it
holding down No. 2 Alabama, with the exception of running back Tony
Nathan who carried the ball 21 times for 127 yards. Bama QB Jeff
Rutledge hit Bruce Bolton on a perfect pass to take the lead 7-0, but Fusina,
who finished with four interceptions, brought back the Nittany Lions tying the game on a touchdown
pass to Scott Fitzgee. The Tide answered as Lou Ilkner returned a
punt 62 yards to the Penn State 11 leading to an eight-yard
touchdown run from Major Ogilvy for a 14-7 lead. Midway through the
fourth quarter, Penn State was within range to tie the game after
recovering a Tide fumble on Bama 19 and getting
down to the one yard line and an almost certain
game-tying score. On third down, Matt Suhey was able to only get a
half a yard making it fourth and goal from the six-inch line. Mike Guman tried to dive up the middle, but Bama linebacker Barry Krauss
stuffed him for the Tide's goal line stand for the ages. Joe
Paterno's team had what looked to be one final shot when Alabama shanked
a punt late in the game putting the ball
on the Bama 30, but were nailed with a penalty for having
twelve men on the field giving the ball back to the Tide. AP named Alabama the national champions, while the
Penn State loss allowed USC to win the UPI national title. Penn
State finished fourth.
Fiesta Bowl
Penn State 14 ... Miami 10
Miami was
the dominant team in 1986 rolling to an 11-0 record led by Heisman
Trophy winning QB Vinny Testaverde. The brash Canes caused a stir with
their trash talking and controversial army fatigues worn to a pre-bowl
dinner, while Penn State was anything but flashy using its defense to go 11-0
on the way to its second straight national title game after losing to
Oklahoma the year before in the Orange Bowl. The high-powered Miami attack moved the ball well, but
turnovers halted drive after drive. Even so, the Canes had 10-7 lead in
the fourth quarter when Testaverde threw his fourth interception of the
game leading to a D.J. Dozier eight-yard touchdown run with just over
eight minutes to play. Miami got the ball for its final drive with three
minutes to play starting on its own 23. After a rocky start to the drive and a fourth down
conversion, Testaverde started to look like Testaverde marching the
offense with ease down to the Penn State six with :25 to play. After a
sack and a dropped pass, Miami faced fourth and goal from its 13 with
:18 left. The national title came down to one play. Testaverde had
receiver Brett Perriman open for an instant, but Penn State LB Pete
Giftopoulis stepped in front of the throw to force the seventh Hurricane
turnover and the fifth interception. Penn State finished the year No. 1 and the
national champions. Miami was No. 2, but bounced back the following
season to go 12-0 and win the national title.
1994 Orange Bowl
Florida State 18 ... Nebraska 16
The defenses were
the stars early in a 0-0 first quarter. After a Seminole field goal, the
Huskers struck as Tommie Frazier, known as a running quarterback, tossed
a pass into a crowd that was deflected into the hands of Reggie Ball, who
took it for his first touchdown of the season. But the Noles kicking
game kept them alive as Scott Bentley nailed a second field goal to pull
within one at halftime. The second half belonged to unstoppable
Nebraska freshman running back Lawrence Phillips, but the Huskers were
still down 15-13 with three minutes to play. Nebraska kicker Byron
Bennett was 0-for-4 since kicking his last field goal two-and-a-half
months earlier, and had missed two field goals in the previous year's
Orange Bowl, but he took center stage after a great defensive stand by the Noles from the
five-yard line, giving the Huskers a 16-15 lead
punching it through the same uprights that saw Florida State miss a kick
in Wide Right II against Miami in 1992. With 1:16 to play,
the ball was in the hands of FSU's Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward,
who was having an efficient, but unspectacular, game. A Ward pass to
Warrick Dunn, and a personal foul penalty on Nebraska, followed by a
pass interference call set up a Bentley field goal for an 18-16 win. Not
quite. A celebration penalty resulted in the Huskers getting the ball
near midfield with :14 to play. Frazier, after one incompletion,
completed a pass over the middle with one second to go. The clock read
:00 and Seminole head coach Bobby Bowden was given a Gatorade bath
during a post-game interview while wearing a national champion hat, but
the game wasn't over. The officials put one second back on the clock ruling that the Husker
receiver was down giving Bennett a final shot to break the hearts of
Seminole fans, but there was nothing to worry about as he badly hooked
the 45-yard attempt.
Despite the win, there was still some
controversy with the Seminoles ranked No. 1 and national champion
despite losing to Notre Dame, who finished with one loss. Nebraska
finished third.
2007 Fiesta Bowl
Boise State 43 ... Oklahoma 42 OT
In one of the wildest, most exciting finishes in college
football history, Boise State ran a trick play in overtime with
backup wide receiver Vinny Parretta connecting with Derek Schouman
for a five-yard score on fourth down, and then won it on a Statue of
Liberty play with Ian Johnson taking the ball from Jared Zabransky
for the two-point conversion. Oklahoma had to fight back to tie the
game getting a five-yard Quentin Chaney touchdown catch with 1:26 to
play. After penalties forced a third two-point conversion try, Paul
Thompson found Juaquin Iglesias for the tie. On the next play from
scrimmage, Zabransky was picked off by Marcus Walker for a 33-yard
interception return for a score. With under a minute to go, Boise
State went 78 yards in five plays converting on 4th and 18 for a
35-yard score on a hook-and-lateral with Drisan James catching the
ball and pitching it to Jerard Rabb, who took it for the score with
seven seconds in regulation. Boise State dominated the first 57
minutes thanks to four OU turnovers with a 27-yard Marty Tadman
interception for a score and two first half touchdown grabs from
James. OU fought back with 18 straight points including an
eight-yard Adrian Peterson touchdown run. Peterson scores in
overtime on OU's first play on 25-yard run.
2006 Rose Bowl
Texas 41 ... USC 38
Texas came back from down 12
in the final 6:42 as Vince Young ran for a 17-yard score with 4:03 to
play, the defense held USC's LenDale White on fourth down, and then
Young led the offense on a ten-play, 56-yard drive culminating in an
eight-yard touchdown run on fourth down for the win. Young ran for 200
yards and three touchdowns, but the Trojan rushing attack was equal to
the task with 209 yards led by White's 124 yards and three scores. USC appeared to have it won after Reggie Bush dove for a 26-yard
touchdown and Dwayne Jarrett caught a 22-yard touchdown pass in the
fourth quarter, but Young proved to be too much to stop. USC cranked out
574 yards of total offense, Texas 556.
2003 Fiesta Bowl
Ohio State 31 ... Miami 24 OT
Ken Dorsey's fourth and goal pass in
the second overtime fell short, and Ohio State won the national title. In regulation, a punt return by
Roscoe Parrish gave Miami great field position for Todd Sievers to
hit a 40-yard field goal with :02 to play to force overtime, and
then the Canes took advantage of the momentum with a seven-yard
touchdown catch from Kellen Winslow. Miami appeared to have the national
title won on a broken up pass in the end zone on Ohio State's overtime
position, but Glenn Sharpe was hit with a a controversial pass
interference call leading to a Craig Krenzel one-yard touchdown run. Maurice Clarett scored
on a five-yard touchdown run on Ohio State's possession in the
second overtime.
1984 Orange Bowl
31 ... Nebraska 30
head coach Tom Osborne was trying to win his first national title after
his Huskers had outscored
its opponents by an average of 52 to 15.5. Miami lost its opening game
38-3 to Florida before winning its final ten games of the regular season
to move up to No. 4. By the time the 50th Orange Bowl rolled around on
New Year's night, No. 2 Texas was upset in the Cotton Bowl by Georgia,
while No. 3 Auburn squeaked by an average Michigan team 9-7 in the Sugar
Bowl. Miami was now in the game for the national title.
The Canes took a shocking 17-0 lead led by freshman QB
Bernie Kosar and his razor-sharp passing completing eight of 14 passes
for 142 yards and two scores in the first quarter. The Husker offense
finally got going with a slow and methodical drive until it faced a 3rd
and five on the Miami 19, and then Osborne reached into his bag of tricks
for the Fumblerooski. QB Turner Gill took the snap and ran down the
right side of the offense looking to pitch the ball with the Hurricane
defense following, but he intentionally dropped the ball and let it
lie on the turf after the snap for the Outland and Lombardi Trophy
winning Dean Steinkuhler, who rumbled in for the shocking touchdown to
put the Huskers back in the game.
Miami was able to take a 31-17 lead
late in the second half on an Albert Bentley touchdown run, but the game
was far from over as the Huskers pulled to within seven with less than
seven minutes to play on a Jeff Smith touchdown run. Miami answered by
going on a long drive and was in a position to put the game away, but
missed a field goal. Even with the setback, the Canes did a great job of
taking time off the clock giving it back to the Huskers with 1:47 to
Gill was having an average game overshadowed by
Kosar's tremendous performance, but he wasn't getting much help as his
all-everything receiver, Irving Fryar, was nowhere to be found. On first
down on their own 26, Gill threw a strike to Fryar who cut up the field
and took it 29 yards before being brought down on a last gasp tackle.
With 1:12 to play on the Miami 25, Gill threw another perfect pass, but
a wide-open Fryar dropped it in the end zone before collapsing in a
grief stricken moment. On the following play, Gill fumbled the ball
after getting popped, but Steinkuhler picked it up and rumbled for
positive yards making it 4th and eight on the Miami 29. Gill calmly
ran the option to the right, and at the last possible nanosecond, he pitched
the ball away to a streaking Smith, who tore up the right sideline before
diving into the end zone to pull the Huskers to within one point.
Without hesitation, Osborne decided to go for two to try to win rather
than go for the tie. Gill fired it outside to Smith, but it fell
incomplete. On the ensuing onsides kick, Miami recovered preserving the
31-30 win.
With no overtime, if Nebraska had kicked the
extra point, it would've been doubtful if there was a voter in America
that wouldn't have voted the Huskers the national champions after a tie.
Instead, Miami finished No. 1, Nebraska No. 2. This officially kicked
off one of the greatest eras in college football history making Miami a
superpower for over two decades.

2009-08-27What Is The Difference Between "Old" and "New" IDPs?!
People, who were internally displaced from Abkhazia and Tskhinvali regions in 1991-93, think that Government of Georgia pays more attention to the victims of the war in August of 2008. Officials of the Government of Georgia are proud that unlike previous president, the current one has created comfort for new IDPs.
2009-08-25One Step Forward Two Steps Back
Most of the IDPs from the Kodori valley that live in Kutaisi have only one table, 4 chairs, a bed, a TV set and a fridge. They live in a former military college building which was renovated by foreigners. The IDPs have been living there since March 2, 2009. They are very dissatisfied and tell about their problems to everyone hoping that their problems might be taken up by the government.
2009-08-18The Problem of Muslim Meskhs Remains Unsolved
Based on the obligation obtained by the state of Georgia in front of European Union repatriation of so called "Turkish Meskhs" should have started in 2002 and ended in 2011. Only 2 years remain till the official term expires but neither money nor economic and political climate exists in the country for repatriating Muslim Meskhs. Meanwhile, Muslim Georgians that were deported from Meskheti, a region in South Georgia demand their return to their homeland fairly. Large scaled and brutal violation of rights of Muslim Meskhs occurs many years now. Deported Meskhs have only legal basis for returning to their motherland.
2009-08-07Ergneti – After a Year
The government of Georgia is proud that it has given shelter to all IDPs but apparently it does not really care where and in what conditions the IDPs are actually living…

Carisbrooke is a village on the south western outskirts of Newport, Isle of Wight and is best known as the site of Carisbrooke Castle. It also has a medieval parish church. St. Mary's Church (overlooking Carisbrooke High Street with views to the castle), began life as part of a Benedictine priory, established by French monks about 1150. The priory was dissolved by King Henry V of England in 1415 during the French Wars. Neglect over the centuries took its toll, but in 1907 the church was restored to its full glory. Its most striking feature is the 14th century tower, rising in five stages with a turret at one corner and a battlemented and pinnacled crown.
There is also a Roman Villa which was discovered in the Victorian era; this is on the site of the old vicarage and has now been converted into private residences.[citation needed]
It is served by Southern Vectis buses operating to Freshwater, Newport, Yarmouth and Ventnor, as well as some smaller villages.[1] It was served by nearby Carisbrooke railway station until it closed in 1953. It is the starting point of the Tennyson Trail, leading to Alum Bay.
Local Amenities[edit]
It has two pubs - the Waverley and the Eight Bells, an Italian restaurant called Valentino's and a motorcycle dealership called Dave Death Motorcycles. Its founder's son, who was at that time running the family business, was killed in a motorcycle crash in 2002. There are several shops on the High Street including a Co-Op and Hair Salon. The village also has a cafe called Number 44. The village also has four schools, three of which are along Wellington Road. These are Carisbrooke CE Primary School, Christ the King College (formerly Archbishop King Roman Catholic Middle and Trinity CE Middle Schools) and Carisbrooke High School. The fourth school is St Thomas of Canterbury Roman Catholic Primary School, which is located on Carisbrooke High Street next to the doctors surgery. There is also the village allotments, situated next to the ford in Castle Street.
Carisbrooke was for centuries the island 's capital and was once called Buccombe or Beaucombe, and means the ' fair valley'.
The Governor of Newport once lived at Landscape House, at the upper part of Carisbrooke High Street in the Victorian era. Alexander Ross, prolific Scottish writer and controversialist, was vicar of Carisbrooke from 1634 until his death in 1654.
The site of the old Carisbrooke railway station lies on the grounds of Christ the King College in the lower part of the field, which is at the end of Purdy Road. The bank is all that remains of the old line.
When in 1917 the British royal family changed its name from the "House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha" to the "House of Windsor" and renounced all German titles, the title of Marquess of Carisbrooke was created for the erstwhile German Prince Alexander of Battenberg.
Carisbrooke Castle[edit]
Carisbrooke Castle was originally a Roman fort. The castle is located at the top of Castle Hill, accessed by Carisbrooke High Street, then bear right at Cedar Hill.It was built soon after William the Conqueror came to England. The William FitzOsbern, 1st Earl of Hereford may have been responsible for its construction, but he was killed in battle during 1071 and so would have had little opportunity to oversee the construction. Osbern's son, Roger, is more likely to have built or refortified the castle. It was at Carisbrooke Castle that William arrested his own half brother, Odo for acts of treason.
King Henry I of England granted the castle in the first year of his reign to Richard de Redvers. The Redvers family owned the castle for much of the Medieval period, only ending in November 1293 when the last Redvers, Isabel died. In 1136, Baldwin de Redvers took refuge in the castle on the run from King Stephen of England. Unfortunately the wells on the island ran dry and Baldwin gave up the land in exchange for his head. Baldwin's land was restored to him in 1153 when Henry II became king. Baldwin, the last male in the line, died in 1216 poisoned, it is said by Peter II of Savoy. Isabella de Fortibus, Baldwin's sister took control of the castle and successfully ran it until her death in 1293.After the death of Isabella de Fortibus in 1293 the castle became the property of Edward I and the crown.
In 1355 Edward III granted the ownership of the castle to his daughter Isabel. In 1377 The French landed on the Isle of Wight and attacked Carisbrooke castle. The castle did not fall to the French. Later in 1647 Charles I took refuge at Carisbrooke but the castle later turned out to be his prison from where he attempted several times to escape but failed.His daughter princess Elizabeth later died there aged 14.
It later became the royal residence of Princess Beatrice the 9th daughter of Queen Victoria who put in the gardens which have been recently restored. She established the museum in the centre of the bailey.

SC opened floodgates for rich to swamp party-list system
When Republic Act No. 7941 was enacted on March 3, 1995, hope for change and reforms sprang among well-meaning and good-intentioned members of society. Why not? RA 7941 (Party-List System) was envisioned to "promote proportional representation in the election of representatives to the House…" In its Declaration of Policy, this law states that the party-list system "(w)ill enable Filipino citizens belonging to the marginalized and underrepresented sectors, organizations and parties, and who lack well-defined political constituencies but who could contribute to the formulation and enactment of appropriate legislation that will benefit the nation as a whole, to become members of the House of Representatives."
However, since its approval—purportedly to give poor and marginalized sectors the opportunity to be heard—RA 7941 has been honored more in the breach than in the observance. This anomalous reality in Philippine politics prompted me to write "Party-list charades" (Letters, Inquirer, 8/23/12). In that piece, I enumerated several instances where the supposed marginalized sectors and groups were represented by wealthy, well-entrenched, influential and strongly connected personalities, like the eldest son of a former president who is now a representative of Pampanga; a son of a well-known "religious" leader who owns big tracts of land in the south of Metro Manila and is now engaged in promoting the candidacies of at least seven senatorial aspirants; and a former president's sister-in-law who belongs to a very rich family in the Visayas.
Pardon the immodesty, "Party-list charades" stirred the hornet's nest, so to speak. Reactions came from different personalities and sectors, including the Commission on Elections itself. It is in this light that I hoped—and am still hoping—that both chambers of Congress will plug the loopholes in the interpretation and implementation of this legislation.
But at the moment, the recent decision of the Supreme Court, which primarily concerns the accreditation of party-list groups, all the more opened the floodgates for powerful, filthy rich and long-established personalities and groups to infiltrate and dominate the world of real marginalized and underrepresented sectors.
The judiciary has spoken. The next move is in the hands of the legislature to rectify an unjust decision. And the concerned citizenry must take a stand on this issue. The firmer, the better.

Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.

If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Women who are pregnant may also be told to avoid antacids that contain sodium. Those antacids can cause extra swelling.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Q. "Why should I choose a WaterSense labeled faucet?"
A. Well, the numbers can speak for themselves: It is estimated that by installing WaterSense labeled faucets and accessories, the average household can save more than 500 gallons per year. Most of us know that we can conserve water by turning off the tap when not in use, but many may not know you can save water while using it with the right water saving faucet. The WaterSense partnership program is sponsored by the EPA which provides water conservation and quality guidelines for participating manufacturers. All products with the WaterSense label have had complete third party certification and testing to ensure they meet the criteria, which is to reduce water use by 20-30 percent with out sacrificing performance and also maintain high quality standards.
Q. "What kind of products are WaterSense labeled?"
A. Bathrooms are by far the largest water users in the home, accounting for more than half of all the water that families use indoors. Thus, you can find a wide range of lavatory faucets, showers, and toilets available with the WaterSense label.

Q. "Why don't you offer any WaterSense certified kitchen faucets?"
A. Currently, the WaterSense program doesn't offer certification for kitchen faucets. However, many companies (including some of our most popular like Delta, American Standard, and Symmons) who manufacture WaterSense certified lavatory faucets have also found ways to make their kitchen faucets more water efficient as well. If you have questions about the flow rate or water efficiency of any of our faucets, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will do our best to provide you with as much information about a specific model as we can.
Q. "I see that some of the shower faucet valves come with stops and some don't, what does that mean?"
A. With stops, it means the valve has shut-offs for the water line so you don't have to shut off water to the entire house to work/repair parts on the shower/tub system.

People Indian hair is beautiful, says stylist Emma Ekman
Waves, curls, straight. Short, long, shoulder length. Mahogany, blonde, brunette, jet-black. Spiked or smoothened, blow-dried or permed, braided or bobbed —hair has always been something we think a lot about and experiment with. And with a good reason feels Swedish hairdresser, Emma Ekman, "I love working with hair because a good hair style can make people feel more beautiful."
Emma, who is in Bangalore being hosted by Salon Nayana till August 15, maybe only 23 but is a veteran of sorts in mane matters. She has been trained by a host of famous hair dressers and has taken part in a number of competitions at a national and international level and won several prizes and championships. "I was sixteen when I decided to join hair-dressing school in Sweden. I went there for three years, after which I got picked up by the Swedish national team and went for national competitions. I then got picked up by the international team and went on take part in and win international competitions in the United States, Iceland, Australia, Norway," she says, "But I want to win more."
It is her first trip to India and she admits to loving it, so far, "It is so colourful, the food is amazing and people are very friendly," she says adding, "Everyone here is so beautiful and the hair is amazing. It is so thick, shiny and strong. I love Indian hair"
On current trends she says, "Trends will always come and go but it always comes down to what suits you. For instance, colouring hair depends on a person's skin tone. Some people have a warmer skin tone and some people have colder skin tone and by that you can choose. Red and gold suit people with a warm skin tone and if you have a colder skin tone, you need more natural colour in your hair."
She offers a few practical tips on looking after hair, "Use a good shampoo and conditioner and if you have long hair it would be nice after washing your hair to put a little oil on the tips to keep it shiny. Never dye hair at home with henna—it ruins the hair. Always use a heat-protection serum while blow-drying it," she says. "You need to be look after and be careful with your hair but do take a chance sometimes," she laughs.
Emma is available at Salon Nayana, 80 ft Road, Koramangala between 10.30 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Public Hospital, Williamsburg
3 Reviews
3 Reviews
The Public Hospital for Persons of Insane and Disordered Minds was the first building in North America devoted solely to the treatment of the mentally ill. The first patient was admitted October 12, 1773.
The structure was crowned with a cupola and resembled the Wren Building at the College of William and Mary. Thomas Jefferson, who had different tastes in architecture, said years later that both were "rude misshapen piles, which, but that they have roofs, would be taken for brick-kilns." Inside the hospital looked much worse.
There were 24 cells, all designed for the security and isolation of their occupants. Each had a stout door with a barred window that looked on a dim central passage, a mattress, a chamber pot, and an iron ring in the wall to which the patient's wrist or leg fetters were attached. The cells were reserved for dangerous individuals or for patients who might be treated and discharged.
By the theories of the day, mental illnesses were diseases of the brain and nervous system, and the mentally ill chose to be irrational. Treatment consisted of restraint, strong drugs, plunge baths and other "shock" water treatment, bleeding, and blistering salves. An electro-static machine was installed. Between 1773 and 1790, about 20 percent of the inmates were discharged as cured.
The Public Hospital reopened on June 8, 1985, with six exhibition cells in the first floor of the east wing and staff offices on the second story. From the west wing an underground concourse leads to the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum.
A ticket is required to enter the Public Hospital.
At the southwestern end of the town is the Public Hospital, which was once as asylum. Exhibits inside show the difference between conditions during the 1700?s and the 1800?s. In the 1700?s, hospital ?cells? were no better than jails; ?patients? were often abused. By the 1800?s, however, the hospital had adopted a different stance; instead of trying to beat evil spirits out of mentally ill people, doctors tried to cure them (with much more success). You can access the DeWitt Wallace Museum from the Hospital.
Opened in 1773, the "Public Hospital for Persons of Insane and Disordered Minds" was America's first asylum. From 1773 to about 1820, "treatment" involved solitary confinement and a grisly course of action designed to "encourage" patients to "choose" rational behavior (it was assumed that patients willfully chose a life of insanity). So-called therapeutic techniques included the use of drugs, submersion in cold water for extended periods, bleeding, blistering salves, and an array of restraining devices. On a self-guided tour you'll see a 1773 cell, with a straw-filled mattress on the floor, ragged blanket, and manacles.
During what is called the Moral Management Period (1820-65), patients were seen to have an emotional disorder and were treated with kindness. The high point of the period was the administration of John Minson Galt II, from mid-1841 to his death in 1862. Galt created a carpentry shop, a shoemaking shop, a games room, and sewing, spinning, and weaving rooms. He conducted reading and music classes and organized evening lectures, concerts, and social gatherings. For all his good intentions, however Galt admitted, "practice invariably falls short of theory." His rate of cure was not notable.
After Galt's death, nine different superintendents administered the hospital. Confidence in reform and government intervention on behalf of the unfortunate diminished in this age of Social Darwinism when the survival of the fittest was the new ethic. Though some of the improvements initiated during the Moral Management Period were extended, restraining devices once more came into vogue. This final period, when patients were essentially warehoused with little hope of cure, is known as the Custodial Care Period.
The self-guided tour sets one thinking about our often equally ineffective methods of treating the mentally ill today.

Tri-Towns teacher applies skills to real world.
Ed Popkie, 5th wheel's executive director, says Philibin, part owner and educational director, is someone motivated to help people who gets involved locally, regionally and provincially.
As an active member of the Tri-Town & District Chamber of Commerce, Philbin has been director for the past two-and-a-half years. She recently stepped down to focus on the expanding driving school. She is also a director on the Far North East Training Board and was one of the founding members of the board of governors of College Boreal.
Popkie describes her as passionate, because when she involves herself in a project, she gives it 100 per cent.
The development and success of the 5th Wheel Training Institute is an example Philbin's passion and commitment.
"Without Louise being part of the equation, 5th Wheel Training Institute wouldn't exist today," Popkie says. And although Yvan Chartrand (Philbin's husband) was the one who had the idea, "Louise was the one able to research, package and put a system in place" which produced a quality product.
Under the umbrella of transportation and construction, the centre offers courses in transport-truck driving and heavy equipment operations. It also offers specialized and certificate programs related to those markets.
"I feel we have a strong purpose here and it's reflected in everything that we do."
Established in 1985, the private New Liskeard career college grew out of a need for transport truck drivers. But the journey of building the school wasn't an overnight haul. For a while, Philbin worked as a teacher full-time (she taught from Grades 7 and 8 to high school, and to adult upgrading at the college level), raising a young family and supporting her husband's truck driver training business.
Eventually, she left teaching and incorporated her expertise in developing an innovative educational program to meet the growing demands of the trucking and heavy equipment industry.
"I'm much more suited to business," she says. "I love the flexibility and the challenge."
By daring to step out of the mould of conformity perpetuated in an educational system that relies heavily on set policy, Philbin's commitment and fearlessness to move ahead has brought the business to employ over 30 fulltime people who teach, manage, and inspire over 400 students a year.
"Our role here is to help people so they can help themselves," she says. "That is what motivates me and my staff."
The program is designed to provide a solid foundation by preparing students with the necessary certificates required in the workplace, says Philbin. It can be tailor-made to suit the person. That is a key marketing tool for the school.
"(At) the size we are now, we can offer some real flexibility for the individual," she says. "It boils down to making what we do very relevant to the workforce."
Popkie says Philbin is an integral part of the company who saw the opportunity to take advantage of a gap in education and training related to the trade.
Acutely aware the centre is accountable to the students, Philbin makes every effort to ensure students' present and future success. She takes responsibility for curriculum development and evaluation.
Her awareness of different learning styles and abilities is evident in the manner in which the program is delivered and evaluated, without compromising 5th Wheel's high standard.
"We want to stop the language of pass and fail," she says. "There is too much history there for these adults."
By using the term "attained benchmark," she opens channels for a more positive learning experience.
Presently, 5th Wheel is preparing for an expansion in Warwick in southern Ontario. The plan is to replicate their learning institute, while tapping into and increasing a new market.
It is the intention to begin courses in January or February of 2006.

BBB: Grizzly Cubs down Dragons with 3rd-quarter run
February 14, 2014By Andrew Smith of New Palestine High School
Franklin used a third-quarter run to down the New Palestine Dragons 64-53 Thursday evening.
The Cubs finished the third quarter with a 17-2 run that allowed them to build a 44-29 edge after three quarters. Despite New Palestine hitting seven 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, the Cubs' lead stayed in double-digits the rest of the way.
The teams swapped the lead often in the opening eight minutes, after which they were tied 12-12. Franklin went on an 8-0 run to build a lead to start the second quarter, but the Dragons scored the last five points of the opening half and tied the game at 27-27 on Brandon Jonas' jumper to start the third quarter. However, Franklin held NP without a field goal for the rest of the quarter and pulled away with a run that spanned the last 5:30 of the period.
Ryan Curry got hot, scoring 15 of his game-high 22 points in the fourth. He hit four 3-pointers in the period, as well as drawing a three-shot foul. Curry hit five triples for the game. Kevin Riley hit two of his three 3-pointers in the fourth and scored 10 points. As a team, the Dragons hit a season-high 11 3-pointers, including one each by Connor Roach, Duke Blackwell and Keegan Lytle.
Roach had seven rebounds and two assists to help lead the Dragons. He scored six points. Curry and Blackwell had three assists each. Curry also had five rebounds.
The Dragons shot 38 percent as a team (17-44), but were 11-27 from 3-point range and 8-11 from the line. Franklin was led by Tyler Thomas' 17 points and 15 from guard Nick King. The Grizzly Cubs shot 56 percent from the floor (25-44) and 10-16 from the line.
The Dragons (8-8) next play Saturday afternoon against Connersville. JV game will tip at noon, varsity at 1:30. The game will be broadcast by HancockCountySports.com.
The Dragons won the JV game 34-25.

Amy purchased this lodge in 2012
When we arrived Sunday afternoon, December 8, at the most incredible, soon-to-explode jewel of Missouri, Buffalo Lodge, for a birthday get-away, I was blown away. I have heard rumblings of this "got-to-see-it-to-believe-it" locale and my wife deemed it closer than Big Cedar Lodge (one of my frequented birthday celebration venues) and perhaps almost as nice. She was correct on the former (only 50 minutes from Leawood) and mistaken on the latter…it was every bit as wonderful as that hallowed Ozarks vacation heaven.
We arrived in a dusting of snow, though every step from drive to front door had been swept away. A fresh wreath on the door greeted us as we entered into the pine-finished paradise called "The Lodge." None of the pictures do it justice. The attention to detail by the owners is almost OCD. Not a speck of grit, dust, cobwebs, burned out bulbs, stains, smears. Our room was topped by freshly pressed sheets, fluffy towels, soft music and an almost zen level of peacefulness. Even the stoneware plates were stacked in correct color sequence! We enjoyed personalized (and beautifully printed) menus prepared in-house by Chef Jaymie who created dinners of chicken parmesan one evening and bison steaks the next. Both were so tender, I could cut them with a fork.
The next morning, I enjoyed the expansive glass windows as I watched the snow drift across the pastures. Not a human in sight. Outside…not a single sound. Nirvana!
On Day Two, the in-house masseuse arrived to provide 90 minute massages in front of the fireplace. In the afternoon, we did a little day-tripping to nearby Greenwood and Pleasant Hill before returning for dinner.

My husband and I wanted a vacation rental that we could enjoy and share with our entire family ... which includes grown children and grand children and the Buffalo Lodge was perfect.We were able to all stay, relax, cook and play in a spacious lodge with plenty of room to spread out and we love the fact that it was only about 30 min to get into Kansas City to visit our family and friends. Our family was treated to a hayride which included getting an up close view of the buffalo ... where else can you say that ?
This was a Christmas that will be remembered by our family and we hope to vacation there again in the future.
The Harris family
Dallas Texas
My family all gathered together at the Buffalo Lodge to enjoy a Thanksgiving together.
We could not have been more pleased. The lodge itself is incredibly well appointed from the living areas to the bedrooms to the kitchen. We enjoyed the fireplace in the great room, The ping pong table was a big hit with the kids (and adults), the media room was far enough away that those wanted a quiet place to read weren't bothered by the movies the kids watched downstairs and the bedrooms very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the hayride out to see the Bison and even had a chance to try our hand at fishing - poles, tackle and bait provided. What was even more pleasant was the solitude the surroundings provided. We felt like we were on our own without any intrusion from others while there. The lodge is set back to give you then sense that the whole property is yours to enjoy! I cannot say enough about Amy and Michael. Very hospitable people who were available if we needed them but didn't intrude at any time. An incredibly wonderful vacation that provided our family a milestone to look back upon fondly. Would recommend this to anyone looking to leave behind the trappings of the city and re-aqquaint themselves with one another.
The Buffalo Lodge was even more special than the pictures we saw online. It was very spacious and the decor was beautiful. The Lodge was well supplied with not only kitchen needs but laundry, entertainment, fishing, wonderful campfire items.....anything we wanted for a great family vacation. The Buffalo Tour was interesting and even gave us a chance to feed the great animals. What fun. With Kansas City only about 45 minutes away we could spend time in the city and then return to the peace and quiet of the Lodge. Amy greeted us when we got there and was very helpful. We would absolutely recommend The Buffalo Lodge.
Home was in perfect condition with comfortable beds. It was a great place to meet up with friends on a cold winter weekend. The fireplace in the living room is awesome.
My family of 12 spent two days at Buffalo Lodge and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! The lodge itself is beautiful and the attention to detail in the furnishings and decorations make it feel very homey and comfortable. The highlight of our weekend was the buffalo tour - every member of our party enjoyed it!
We rented this beautiful lodge for an extended family get together and it was perfect! We had 6 adults and 6 kids (4 mo.-16). There was something for everyone to enjoy… from the beautiful views, to the buffalo tour, to the extremely well stocked kitchen, to the ping pong table and theatre room. Everyone loved it! It was relaxing and the open floor plan helped in keeping us all together even though we weren't all doing the same thing. The owners were wonderful and made sure that we had everything we needed. The buffalo tour was very informative and fun for all ages. We would definitely consider returning again sometime in the near future!
