Nike and Foot Locker kick off celeb-packed Air Max campaign
By Sara Kimberley, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 12 August 2010 11:00AM
Nike and Foot Locker are launching a pan-European campaign to promote the new Air Max 90 trainer, featuring Arsenal stars Andrey Arshavin, Marouane Chamakh and Fulham striker Stefano Okaka.
The "I am the rules" ad is the first to be created by Wieden + Kennedy London since it was appointed to the brands' roster earlier this year.
The campaign, also created by AKQA, will roll out from August 15 in the UK and August 23 across France, The Netherlands, Spain and Italy.
To celebrate individual styles, the 60-second TV ad features a range of designers, DJs, sneakerheads and athletes such as football stars Arshavin, Chamakh and Okaka and French World Champion female boxer and model, Ingrid Graziani.
The colourful ad features individuals expressing their creativity through various executions such as boxing and dancing.
AKQA has been tasked to amplify the buzz created through digital media. A campaign microsite, online banner advertising and a Facebook application will invite users to define their own rules and enter a draw for a trip to London to watch Arshavin and Chamakh from Arsenal from VIP seats at the Emirates Stadium.
Entrants to the competition receive an SMS that entitles them to claim a limited edition Air Max 90 wristband featuring the shoe colours from Foot Locker stores.
The microsite also contains exclusive interviews which reveal the athlete's own personal rules they live by.
Jack Gold, Foot Locker European marketing director, said: "This is a unique marketing campaign. Its strength is in its integration across all aspects of the consumer experience from retail, to digital, to advertising."
For the duration of the campaign, staff at Foot Locker outlets across Europe will, for the first time in the store's history, exchange their world-famous black and white striped jerseys for the colours that make up the Nike Air Max 90.

On March 27, 2013, the "right-to-work" bills, SB 116, now known as Public Act 348 of 2012 and HB 4003, now known as Public Act 349 of 2012, became effective. Also called Michigan's "Freedom-To-Work" laws, the statutes make it unlawful to require private and public sector employees in unionized workplaces to pay any dues, fees, assessments, or other charges or expenses of any kind or amount, or provide anything of value to a labor organization or bargaining representative as a condition of employment.
Under Section 14(b) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), a state may enact a law prohibiting union security clauses in union contracts. Section 14(b) provides, "Nothing in this Act shall be construed as authorizing the execution or application of agreements requiring membership in a labor organization as a condition of employment in any State or Territory in which such execution or application is prohibited by State or Territorial law."
The laws apply to an "agreement, contract, understanding, or practice that takes effect or is extended or renewed after the effective date," March 27, 2013.
Public Act 349, pertaining to the public sector, amends Michigan's Public Employment Relations Act (PERA) and specifically excludes public police and fire department employees who are eligible for Act 312 compulsory arbitration. Public Act 348 amends the federal Labor Mediation Act, and applies to most private sector employees in Michigan, with a few exceptions including employees covered under the Railway Labor Act.
Under Public Acts 348 and 349, employees retain the right to organize together to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to engage in lawful protected concerted activity for the purpose of collective negotiation and bargaining, and to bargain with their employers through representatives of their choice.
However, specifically, the laws prohibit any person by force, intimidation, or unlawful threats to compel or attempt to compel any employee to:
Moreover, any requirement that would violate the laws is a prohibited subject of bargaining. Public Acts 348 and 349 each appropriate $1 million for fiscal year 2012-2013 to the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) to:
A person, employer, or labor organization that violates Public Act 348 or 349 is subject to a civil fine of not more than $500. And a person who suffers an injury as a result of a violation or threatened violation of the act may bring a civil action for damages, injunctive relief, or both. In addition, an individual that prevails in such an action may recover reasonable attorney fees. Finally, the Michigan Court of Appeals has exclusive original jurisdiction over any action challenging the validity of the Acts.
Notwithstanding these new laws, a union is still legally required to represent employees that decline to join the union or pay union dues but who are part of the collective bargaining unit covered by the union contract. Among other things, this includes the requirement to represent such employees in collective bargaining and grievance and arbitration proceedings. However, in most union charters or constitutions, employees declining to join the union or pay union dues do not have the right to vote in internal union elections or for ratification of collective bargaining agreements.
Michigan joins Indiana, which enacted its own "right-to-work" statute on February 1, 2012, as the only Midwest states to have right to work laws. The other states with "right-to-work" laws include Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wyoming. Although the laws are similar in many material respects, there are some differences that should be considered by employers with a presence in one or more of these states.
Some have challenged the legality of the new laws, as well as the scope and meaning of some of the language therein. Accordingly, employers are encouraged to consult with their labor attorneys when considering whether and how the new laws will affect their workplaces. This is particularly important for those employers that will be entering into a new, extended, or renewed agreement, contract, understanding, or practice.

Fantastic Save the Dates
I recently received my Save the Dates! They turned out fabulous. I had changed to a custom color and it was a little bit different on my computer monitor than the finished product but they still look great! As someone with experience with desktop publishing, I know those things happen :) I was really surprised at how nice the quality of paper was for the price! Plus, they arrived earlier than expected and the presentation was outstanding- I received a beautiful display inside a box full of stationary samples along with my order. Needless to say, as a first time costumer, I was very impressed! I would recommend this product and will def. be recommending MagnetStreet to anyone looking for stationary! I will be getting my wedding invites here :)
great quality card
good quality, very nice product. I was satisfied with my save my dates! :)
Great quality, loved my save the date cards!
Everything was just how I wanted it! I will be ordering my invitations here!
Great value
My fiance and I have been looking for save the dates for months, and couldn't agree on a design. We both loved this one, and decided to move forward with them. We didn't do anything fancy, just the least expensive paper options and nothing extra added. They came in yesterday, and I was first blown away by the packaging. They came in a very pretty and very sturdy hard box to keep them safe, my invitations from another company came in these flimsy little cardboard boxes. The cards themselves are a thick card stock, and look like we spent a fortune on them. I am so happy with my purchase, and I will definitely recommend Magnet Street to all my friends!
Precious save the dates
The save the dates turned out so beautiful, right down to the pretty envelopes! Even the mailman commented on how pretty it was. I was wonderfully surprised by the quality and the overall turn out of the product. This definitely conveys that special touch that my fiancé and I wanted to deliver to our loved ones. You should definitely given MagnetStreet a try!

Jump-Start for Jobs
By Susan Evans and Mike Faher, Tribune-Democrat, Johnstown, Pa.
Aug. 7–EBENSBURG — From the backdrop of a gleaming new downtown park in the county seat, Gov. Ed Rendell on Wednesday brought more polish for Cambria County in the form of $18 million in projects ranging from a new nursing school to downtown revitalization, and even some bridge repairs.
The projects will attract $10 million in private investments and — including the bridge work — will create 350 jobs, Rendell said.
The top prize goes to Pitt-Johnstown, which is receiving $4 million in state funds for a nursing school.
Another $2 million will help pay for a major renovation of Festival Park in Johnstown.
And Ebensburg officials listened closely as the governor outlined $1 million for three buildings to be renovated as part of the ongoing downtown renaissance program.
At an estimated cost of
$11 million, five bridges in Cambria County will be repaired with state funds, and the governor said that this is perhaps his most important priority because it provides jobs at family-sustaining wages.
The funding was announced as part of Rendell's five-day,
16-stop bus tour to announce $542 million in new state investments in 25 counties that will leverage more than $1.2 billion in private and local government investments.
Rendell said it's all about creating and keeping jobs.
"In Cambria County, the unemployment rate has dropped by almost 14 percent, and now we lead the nation not in old bridges but in bridges being repaired," he said to the applause of the crowd of elected officials and Ebensburg residents.
UPJ President Jem Spectar applauded the cash for the nursing center.
"When government listens to the needs of the people, and when it acts to bring services closer to the people, it is being responsive in the best Jeffersonian tradition," he said. "I am thrilled at this announcement."
The $4 million will help build a nursing and health sciences facility for UPJ's bachelor of nursing degree program, which will graduate 50 nurses each year.
That will fill a vital need, Spectar said, as more clinics are established in neighborhoods, and nurse practitioners will perform many duties that traditionally have been limited to physicians.
"The law is changing so that nurses will be able to give injections and perform other tasks, and these clinics are open
24 hours in many cases. It brings services to the people, and we will fill the need for nurses," he said.
Rendell agreed.
"There are many things that a doctor does now that nurses can do instead," the governor said.
"But if we do that, we must keep up the flow of qualified nurses entering the field. That's why this is so important."
Also benefiting from the cash infusion will be Festival Park in downtown Johnstown. City officials said the $2 million will be a shot in the arm to renovations there.
The park is former Bethlehem Steel Corp. land that was purchased by Johnstown Area Heritage Association, which organizes FolkFest. The Labor Day weekend festival moved to the park in 2004 after officials said it had outgrown the Cambria City neighborhood.
The association has sponsored some park upgrades, but the newly announced state money will allow administrators to make more permanent changes that have been in the planning stages.
That includes renovations at an old Bethlehem structure known as the "oil house," where officials envision an indoor venue with a bar, kitchen and stage.
A large, 600-seat pavilion also is planned. The association originally had plans for an amphitheater, but renovations at nearby Point Stadium made that unnecessary.
"A 2,000-seat amphitheater would be redundant," said Richard Burkert, the heritage association's executive director.
The association also may upgrade a section of Walnut Street used for the festival, and officials plan to improve park infrastructure.

Nissan launches the Grand Livina Highway Star
People carriers, loosely defined as vehicles that can carry more than five passengers, have been the dominant class on the sales charts for many years now. Nissan is updating its entry by launching the Grand Livina Highway Star, an update of its sedan-based multi-purpose vehicle.
The Grand Livina has been upgraded with performance parts from none other than Autech Japan, well known for its customizing of Nissan vehicles. Autech teams up with Nismo for some of its racing vehicles.
Upgrades to the Grand Livina include refreshed styling, particularly the "more aggressive" exterior.
Chrome grille with horizontal elements, bumper fascia with integrated air splitters, side mirror with LED turn signals, chrome garnish around the foglamps, side skirts, rear skirt, and roof spoiler. Fifteen-inch polished alloy wheels with gunmetal accents cap the changes.
Grand Livina is powered by a 1.8-liter gasoline engine with 125 hp and 175 Nm of torque. The engine is equipped with continuously variable valve timing to provide an effective balance between performance and fuel economy. The car rides on MacPherson struts at the front and a torsion beam axle at the rear. Safety features include ABS, EBD, and SRS airbags. The Grand Livina Highway Star will be available at all Nissan dealerships nationwide starting this weekend. The Luxury model is priced at P928,000 while the Elegance is P1.008 million.

All too often, Miami can seem like a city of haters, especially (and unfortunately) among its creative circles. We can be all too ready to build someone up as long as they're trapped by our county borders, but we're equally all too ready to start the smack talk the second they spread their wings. That is, happily, not the case with songstress Rachel Goodrich, whose music and overall vibe are so damn likable that she inspires you to root for her success, wherever she may find it.
Goodrich quickly scored fans here in her hometown for the kind of songs that populated her debut full-length, Tinker Toys — catchy, lo-fi pop that equally appealed to hipsters and hippies. (Goodrich is, after all, an avowed acolyte of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead.) Whenever her material — full of her trademark ukulele strumming, kazoos, and other borderline-cutesy trills — approaches twee, she backs it all up with solid songwriting. Despite all the childlike flourishes on the surface, Goodrich's songs function as the best pop songs do — hummable and easy to grasp in just a few seconds.
That has done well for her music's TV placements (Crayola and BlackBerry commercials among them) as well as for her rising profile outside of Miami. In recent months, Goodrich has bounced back and forth between the 305 and Los Angeles, where she finished a residency at the Standard earlier this year. Her local performance beginning at 10 p.m. this Friday at the Stage (170 NE 38th St., Miami) is part of a larger tour that will take her through the South and up the East Coast.

Marshall's jumper lifts UNLV past No. 22 Colo. St.
The Rams outscored the Rebels in the second half, 38-29, behind 47-percent shooting (14 of 30) - one of the misses being Daniel Bejarano's 3-point attempt at the buzzer that fell short.
"We talk about tenacity and perseverance all the time and we played until the end and we were fortunate to make one more play than Colorado State did and get a very hard-fought victory," said Rice, who has led UNLV to 45 wins since the start of the 2011-12 season, surpassing Jerry Tarkanian's mark of 44 victories in his first two years at the helm.
UNLV is now 15-1 on Tarkanian Court this season, which includes 13 straight wins. In addition, UNLV is 33-1 in its last 34 regular-season games at home, and has won each of its last 15 regular season home games against Mountain West opponents.
The teams split the season series, as Colorado State defeated UNLV 66-61 at home on Jan. 19. The Runnin' Rebels lead the all-time series 34-11 and have won 10 of the last 11 meetings at the Thomas & Mack Center.

Unfiltered Camels
For a brief spell in the 1800s, the drought-resistant beasts took their lumps in the Arizona heat.It's not surprising that the big reddish-brown mountain looming over East Phoenix was given the name Camelback. To be sure, Arizona can put one in a camel-like state of mind: obstinate, old-fashioned, comfortable in the heat, transplants from somewhere else. Where stereotype is concerned, camels seem like natural Zonies.

Dromedary on Aisle 12
In early 2007, Brad Archer, then curator of ASU's R.S. Dietz Museum, got a call from a friend at the construction site of a new Walmart store in Mesa. Archer's friend, a nursery owner who dabbled in paleontology, was excavating a hole for a tree when he turned up bones.
Gutter Ball
Spanish Trails was to be Dr. Kenneth Hall's pièce de résistance, the first in a nationwide chain of massive bowling alleys featuring a French restaurant and multiple nightclubs. Set in a Moorish/Disney-esque fortress built from recycled materials without any bank financing, the project fell shy of its lofty goal. "It was our family's Vietnam," his son Walter Hall says. "Its craziness only seemed to alchemize more craziness. He took umbrage when my brother told him, 'Dad, bowlers aren't really into French food.'"
Diagnosis: Bananas
Dr. Kenneth Hall operated a Sunnyslope hospital with a primate zoo until unauthorized medical surgeries used to illegally finance a nearby bowling alley led to his downfall
Mixing apes and appendectomies seems like an ill-advised business practice, but not to Dr. Kenneth Hall. In 1955, the maverick physician opened Sunnyslope's North Mountain Hospital, a resort-like medical facility with stunning views of Phoenix. Even more sensational was the bizarre attraction located on the hospital grounds: a monkey zoo.
Tour Grind
When Papago Golf Course opened in the fall of 1963, Arnold Palmer was the toast of the Valley golf community, having won three consecutive Phoenix Open championships. Although Arnie's legendary "army" of fans would continue to cheer for their hero every year, Palmer would never again claim victory at the tournament. But that didn't mean Palmer didn't keep trying, looking for every possible edge. In the early 1970s, John Pickrell owned Scotty's Blacksmith and Machine Shop, located on the corner of Brown Avenue and Second Street in Scottsdale. A few days before the start of the Phoenix Open, Pickrell was shocked to see Palmer walk into his grimy industrial space looking to have a little weight taken off his sand wedge. Pickrell confessed that he had never worked on a golf club. The famous golfer told him not to worry, that he wanted to use the grinder himself. After donning goggles and gloves, Palmer ran the clubhead along the grinding wheel a few times, hefted the club for weight, and repeated the process. Finally satisfied with the feel, he thanked Pickrell and handed him a five-dollar bill. Asked where he had learned his machine skills, Palmer responded, "I grew up on a golf course where my father was the greenskeeper. I've always fixed my own clubs."

After a few rounds in the rough, Papago Municipal Golf Course returns to splendor on its 50th birthday.
The night air is lush with the aroma of blooming citrus as a snaking line of parked cars lies in wait for the approaching dawn. The men inside try to nap, but most are simply too jazzed – soon, the gate will fly open and these links-loving fools will rush in.
Color-Blind Care
Dr. Winston C. Hackett's arrival in Phoenix in 1916 wasn't just a godsend for black patients who were often denied medical care in the segregated city – it was also a blessing for whites with socially stigmatized ailments.

Ancient Human Remains Discovered In Israel
Israeli archaeologists reported on Tuesday that have found teeth of modern humans in a cave in central Israel dating back 400,000 years. That makes them twice as old as modern humans found in Africa, which is where they've been thought to have originated.
Avi Gopher, of Tel Aviv University's Institute of Archaeology, said testing of stalagmites, stalactites and other material found in a cave east of Tel Aviv indicates that eight teeth uncovered there could be the earliest traces so far of our species.
"Our cave was used for a period of about 250,000 years — from about 400,000 years ago to about 200,000 years ago," Gopher told teh AFP news agency.
"It's very exciting to come to this conclusion."
"The teeth are scattered through the layers of the cave, some in the deeper part, that is to say from 400,000 years and through all kinds of other layers that can be up to 200,000 years. The oldest are 400,000 years old," he added.
He stressed that further research is needed to solidify the claim. If it does, he said, "This changes the whole picture of evolution."
"It is accepted at the moment that the earliest Homo sapiens that we know is in east Africa and is 200,000 years old, or a little less. We don't know of anywhere else where anyone claims to have an earlier Homo sapiens," he said.
Digging continues at the cave.
The archaeologists from Tel Aviv University are confident that other human fossil evidence will be found at the site.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Trina TriceOfficials from the accrediting agency that placed the Clayton County school system on probation is getting ready for a visit in October. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, an organization that accredits more than 13,000 schools in the Southeast, is definitely making a second visit to the school system, says Mark Elgart, executive director of SACS. Preliminary meetings are continuing before the visit to determine who among the organization will make the trip. The main focus of the visit is still governance, Elgart said. In June the school system was placed on probation after a SACS review team found that board leadership was guilty of micromanaging the daily operation of the school district. Clayton County Board of Education Chairwoman Nedra Ware and Vice Chairwoman Connie Kitchens have been accused by many for the violations that led to the probation. "We're going to follow-up on the report and see what progress (the school board has made)," Elgart said. "October is simply an interim visit. There will be no further recommendations. We gave them clearly a year (to follow recommendations). There's no consequence if they aren't in compliance. When the accreditation is reviewed a year from now, observations (made in October) will be documented for review then." At a school board meeting last month, Ware and Kitchens proposed that the board appeal the SACS probation and ask for clarification from officials concerning what the board had done wrong. Appealing the probation isn't possible, Elgart said. "They can only appeal if they are dropped," he said. "They're not eligible for that." Instead of appealing, the school board opted to invite SACS officials to a called meeting to discuss the report. "We're unsuccessful in trying to coordinate such a procedure," Elgart said. "But we do have a procedure in place (when school systems oppose a SACS ruling). They can request a review at a state level. It would be at a called meeting by SACS, not a called board meeting. It would be only with officials from SACS and the school board." The board could also ask for a hearing at the regional level, Elgart said. During the Labor Day Weekend, Kitchens called a news conference expressing her concern over the county's low SAT test scores affecting the school district's accreditation. However, the News Daily was not alerted to the news conference. "When we're looking at a school, we take everything into consideration," Elgart said. "Student achievement is potentially a cause for concern. It's way too early on that issue, though. That's not part of the equation for Clayton County. Governance was the only thing we've looked at so far." To heed the SACS recommendations, the school board has attended a two-day retreat with the Georgia School Boards Association and has started a national superintendent search with that organization. The board is still getting fire even from SACS. Elgart chastised Ware and Kitchens in a letter to interim Superintendent Dr. William Chavis in July. In the letter Elgart criticized a document written by Ware and Kitchens. He accused them of trying to convince him that a national superintendent search "is justified by having candidates outside the state of Georgia" apply. The board's previous search failed "to recognize the intent and appropriateness of a national search" which should include full support of the board, provide involvement from the community, occur over a reasonable period of time and with the assistance of a professional search firm, Elgart said. Elgart stressed that the board's role is primarily as a policy making body and that any of its authority and power should be executed through legally constituted meetings, not through correspondence from Ware and Kitchens. "Letters of reprimand written by individuals on the board hold no merit and violate the policies of the Clayton County Schools and the intent of the SACS Standards for Accreditation," Elgart stated in the letter.

My Rating
Just the best trip I have been on! Bryce Canyon is just the amazing and I enjoyed the whole experience from pick up to drop off. Would highly recommend a smaller group tour, our driver and guide was James from Detours and he was a font of knowledge and just couldn't be faulted. Nothing was too much trouble. Great boxed lunch from an artisan bread company en route to Bryce and plenty of rest breaks, nothing was too much trouble. The minivan was comfortable and our group of 6 were sociable and a mix of nationalities. I preferred this trip to the Grand Canyon tour taken 2 years previous; the views are just amazing. You will definitely get more from your trip by travelling with a smaller tour group; it is a lot more personal and a good way of meeting new people. I was a female travelling alone and found this a great experience. Considering returning to Bryce for an overnight stay to try out some of the trekking trails. You will not be disappointed with this trip. Just book it!

Definitely worth doing! Thought I might be a little too old for clubbing but have to say this was so much fun! Great way of meeting new people and was surprised by how many singles book on to this tour. Met in the Lily Lounge in the Bellagio, which I loved and would have happily stayed there all night. I was a little disappointed that we didn't get to go to the clubs that were originally featured; went to Bank, Ghost Bar and Haze. A lady we met in the bar on another VIP tour was going to Hakkasan and Revolution. Our bus was ok but she was on this cool black VIP limo bus that was a lot roomier; you need that extra room when you're dancing around that pole! Our hostess abandoned us at the the last club, Haze, and we waited forever before they would let us in. No VIP treatment here then! We called and called but she just wasn't picking up. We got in eventually but once in we realised it wasn't for us anyway and left to join the queue for Secret Pizza.

Has anyone ever tried to put together a super team?
Like the best of the best from their respective states in an attempt to see just how good you can make it? I would be interested!
I don't think this is feasible in most states because people could reside hours away from where the matches are and it would be pointless to join the team. I know this occurs in areas within say a 50 mile radius though.
NorCal has many people attempting to do this. (Most NorCal players are within a 50 mile radius. I've heard of some from farther away driving in for their two matches.) Due to the apparently unique NorCal rules, the best players at a level can often be on several super teams at the same time. Heck, the whole team can be registered at the same level playing in several different areas at the same time. However, come playoffs, each player has to pick one team, so often this is where it all breaks down.
No. I simply enjoy playing. I doesn't make the sport more enjoyable to play with a bunch of people I don't know, than to play with my regular club members.
Putting together a superteam is extremely difficult. There's always at least someone, if not several someones, whose feelings are hurt if they are not selected for the superteam over their peers. Grown men don't know their own limitations, and egos take over. It tends to become to internally competative, typically resulting in poor sportsmanship. It frequently destroys the social aspect of team tennis. Everyone wants to win and winning is fun, but not at the expense of friendship.

Sir Alex Ferguson tore into his Manchester United players after yesterday's defeat by Liverpool.
The News of the World says Fergie:
- ACCUSED them of being too soft.
- CLAIMED only Rio Ferdinand had a decent game.
- BLASTED their shocking defending.
Fergie raged: "If people watch the goals on TV they will say it was like a Conference team defending.
"When you have bad days you need to take something from the game but it was shocking stuff from us.
"It'll be a miserable journey home and a hell of a weekend. It's a reminder of what it's like to lose these kinds of matches. Our record is so good here so it is difficult.
"But having had that record for so long, it gives Liverpool a bigger incentive each time we come to Anfield. Their first was a scabby goal but Liverpool deserved their luck."

Newsmaker: John McCain
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
JIM LEHRER: And now back to Presidential politics and to Senator McCain, who joins us now from Columbia, South Carolina. Senator, welcome and congratulations.
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: Thank you very much. We were very exhilarated by the win, and it's been a great ride.
JIM LEHRER: Do you feel as good now as you did last night when it happened?
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: Yes. Let me give you an example of kind of an unexpected thing that happened. We've now gotten $500,000 in contributions over the Internet today, which is more than we've ever had. By the way, that's McCain2000.com.
JIM LEHRER: Just from all over the country?
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: All over the country, $500,000, and most of that's matched, so we may have the first million dollar day we've had in the history of this campaign.
JIM LEHRER: Wow. You said last night that this was the beginning of a national crusade. A crusade for what?
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: A crusade to take the government out of the hands of the special interests and give it back to the people of this country and allow them again to be connected with their government. Young people don't vote; young people are cynical; they've become alienated because the special interests have taken over and their hopes and dreams and aspirations are no longer represented. That's what we find out from talking to them. For example, the lowest voter turnout in history of the eighteen to twenty-six-year-olds was in the 1998 election.
JIM LEHRER: But the man you defeated last night was George W. Bush. And you've said you want to send a message to Washington. He's been the governor of Texas. Is he – how does he fit into your crusade?
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: Well, he fits – he defends the status quo. He will not support campaign finance reform. He says that it's bad for our party. I've always believed that's what's good for our country is good for our party. He is obviously – or his people are now setting up organizations where tens of millions of dollars of soft money are going to be funneled into the campaign. And obviously the establishment is all behind him because they want the status quo. I'm going to break the iron triangle of lobbyists, money, and legislation, and he's defending it.
JIM LEHRER: What do you say to those who suggest, though, hey, wait a minute, Senator, you've been chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, which is kind of center of the establishment, at least one part of the establishment in Washington in terms of legislation for interests, and all of that, and Governor Bush has been in Texas while this has been going on. Why are you different? You've been here but you're not part of it. He hasn't been here, and he is.
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: Because I have fought tooth and nail against the special interests, whether it be against the telecommunications so-called Reform Act of 1998 – 1996 – or whether it be against the giveaway of $70 billion of free spectrum to the television – to the broadcasters. I've fought against pork barrel spending. I've fought for the line item veto. I was responsible for the legislation on a gift ban and the lobbying ban, and I've been a reformer all of my time in Washington, and we've had some successes, and we've also had some failures. But there's no doubt what I've fought for, and that's against the special interests.
JIM LEHRER: There was a suggestion today from some of Governor Bush's supporters that maybe you're not really a true blue Republican, that some of the things you support like campaign finance reform and your opposition to tax cuts are more like Gore and Bradley and Clinton and Democrats than Republican.
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: Well, I'm much more like Ronald Reagan, actually, than the present hierarchy of our party. I'm for tax cuts, but I'm for working Americans. Governor Bush wants to give 38 percent of his tax cuts to the wealthiest 1 percent. I want to give it to working families. But I want to give it also to pay into Social Security, and make it solve, Medicare, and start paying down the debt. And, by the way, the majority of Republicans supporting the polls support my proposal, over Governor Bush's. He has not one penny for Social Security, not one penny for Medicare, not one penny for paying down the debt. It's conservative to pay for our obligations when they have some money. And I think it's clear who the conservative is, particularly on the issue of taxes. But also, look, is it not conservative or Republican to try to take the government out of the hands of special interests, which prevent the American people from being represented? I think that's the tradition of Ronald Reagan and Theodore Roosevelt, to tell you the truth. Theodore Roosevelt got a ban on corporate contributions to American political campaigns in 1907. He's my role model.
JIM LEHRER: Well, then, but you don't deny you're a different kind of Republican, do you, than the "leadership" of the party right now?
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: Well, I think, you know, the party has lost its way to a large degree, because we've been captured by the huge amounts of soft money. Ronald Reagan is – I'm right in tune with him and with Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight David Eisenhower. It's a terrible thing, what all this money has done to our party, and we've got to break this grip or this Iron Triangle that I've talked about before.
JIM LEHRER: But wasn't Ronald Reagan supported by the leadership of the Republican Party when he ran?
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: Oh, no. In 1976, there was, I think, one or two Senators, one of them being Laxalt. In 1980, the party candidate was John Connolly. He ran from the outside.
JIM LEHRER: But you don't mind being considered a maverick, somebody that's a little bit different than the traditional Republican?
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: No. And what I'd really like to be known for and respected for is my independence, but my commitment to principle and my ability to inspire young Americans to commit themselves to causes greater than your self interest. And the fact is I'm the only candidate that's fully prepared to be President of the United States, particularly as far as Commander in Chief is concerned.
JIM LEHRER: Fully prepared? You're the only candidate to be fully prepared to be President of the United States?
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: That's right. The others are prepared; I am fully prepared.
JIM LEHRER: And what does fully mean?
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: That means in every way I'm ready to take over the job; I don't need on-the-job training.
JIM LEHRER: There was a story today that one of the new tactics, strategies, whichever way you want to use it, to go after you in South Carolina, in particular, is to paint you as a liberal. Now you mentioned – you mentioned that a moment ago. Is that going to work? Is there something out there that we don't know that makes you a liberal?
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: I don't know. If you inspect my 17-year voting record, it's a proud conservative Republican who acts on principles and one who obviously has a very strong commitment to the leadership role the United States has to play. I've never voted for a pay raise – excuse me – never voted for a pay raise – but more importantly, I've never voted for a tax increase, whether it was proposed by a Republican or Democrat administration. I'm proud of my voting record, but look, these things happen in campaigns so that, you know, you call people liberals and others. I'm not going to do that with Governor Bush. He's a good man, and we're going to campaign on the differences we have, rather than trying to label somebody as something which clearly they're not.
JIM LEHRER: Senator, yesterday was – marked the 107th month – straight month of economic expansion in the United States. If you're elected, President, what would you do to make sure it keeps going on?
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: I think I would focus a lot of attention on education and training so that we can provide a trained and skilled work force to meet the needs of this dramatically growing technology. I think that's probably one of our first efforts – keep the regulation of the government as much as possible out of people's lives, have a permanent ban on Internet taxes so that we don't harm this technology, and also obviously, keep the policies that have been working. And that — Alan Greenspan has done I think a very good job in that direction. And finally – free trade – free trade is important. We're in a global economy; we need to export our goods and services. We have the most productive work in the world in the United States of America. And any nation that will lower its barriers to our goods and products, I'll do the same for them in the United States, and that's a very important pillar, I believe, in the future prosperity of this country.
JIM LEHRER: President Clinton said yesterday that he thought he deserved some of the credit for this expansion or this continuing boom. Do you agree with that?
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: Yes, and – just as I would give him blame if it wasn't. I would argue that the men and women who made this thing happen that are the incredible genius of America – reduction in regulations, deregulation in the 80's, and a lot of other things – but I'll give him some credit. And the question is, is how we keep it going, and that's what I think I'm fully prepared to address.
JIM LEHRER: But you believe that the President has the power to keep it going, right?
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: Oh, I think that the President has a great deal to do with the power to keep it going. I don't say that the President is a dictator. You have to deal with Congress; you have to deal with various forces. For example, the WTO debacle out in Seattle, which was largely the President's — or at least to some degree – the President's responsibility, has hurt our efforts to further free trade throughout the world. But there are obviously certain things which are not in the President's control, but largely, they are.
JIM LEHRER: Back to New Hampshire for a moment. The pundits, a lot of the pundits, not all of the pundits, but many of the pundits said that at the heart of your victory was actually the character issue and your resume. Do you flinch at that? Do you revel in that? What's your reaction to that?
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: I think that voters vote for someone not based on what they've done but how they believe they can lead the country in the future. They think – they give you credit for what you've done, but they'll only vote for you as to how they think you'll lead. So I think part of that but I think specific positions – very straight, unambiguous positions on issues – and by the way the reason there was such a great gap between what pollsters were telling is that there were thousands of young New Hampshire, young people that went and registered to vote yesterday in order to vote for me. And that is what expanded the numbers to such an incredible degree. I've got to tell you – I never felt we would win by 19 points. I just didn't think that was possible. And I'm exhilarated by it.
JIM LEHRER: Do you think you're going to win the whole thing?
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: Oh, I think we've got a great shot at it. I think we're still the underdog. We were outspent in New Hampshire five and six to one and we still prevailed. We're being outspent here, but I think we can win the battle of ideas if not the bucks. We're still the underdog, still got a long way to go, still fighting an insurgency campaign, and I'm telling you, I'm loving every minute of it.
JIM LEHRER: You did over a hundred town meetings in New Hampshire. How are you going to do it in all these other states, beginning with South Carolina, how are you going to have to change the way you campaign in order to win this?
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: Well, we've done a whole lot of them down here already. We will get a megaphone and amplification and message out of this. I'll have town hall meetings that are covered by local television and radio; we're doing one with one of the local – one of the national talk shows here in a week or two. We'll do the same technique so we'll get the magnification of it. Look, I started New Hampshire with town hall meetings where 20 people came. I did one in Peterborough in July and gave away free ice cream, 40 people came. We did our last town hall meeting in Peterborough, the place was packed with well over a thousand people. So it's a technique, if I may sound so immodest, that a lot of other candidates are going to have to employ because that's the real essence of democracy, and that's interaction with the voters.
JIM LEHRER: And in your case at least it worked too, did it not?
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: Oh, yeah, but it was also marvelous. I mean, you hear from people, you learn, you listen. People, you can see them connect again after a period of cynicism and even alienation. So many people came up to me and said I haven't voted in 20 years and I'm going to go out and vote for you. I mean, whether I win or lose, what we've been able to do here is something that I will always cherish the memory, even getting up in Laconia when it's 35 degrees below zero.
JIM LEHRER: I got you. I got you. Well, Senator, again, congratulations, and thank you very much.
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: Thanks for having me on.

Vote for 2nd Harvest to receive $60,000 grant
As Hunger Action Month come to a close, Second Harvest is asking for the public's help in a contest that could net them a $60,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation.
Fifty food banks across the nation will be selected for one of the grants based on the number of online votes they receive by October 5. Currently Second Harvest has barely more than 100, while the leaders are all in the thousands, but with nine days left to vote there's still time for a comeback.
Second Harvest is the only food bank in Washington state competing in the contest which began September 15.
Walmart is teaming up with acclaimed chef, cookbook author and TV host G. Garvin, and calling on the public to support their local food banks by voting online at www.Walmart.com/fighthunger.

The central vignette here features a unique combination of two types of stela illustration. Normally the deceased is shown offering to Osiris, lord of the underworld, or to another deity. Alternatively, the deceased and his or her spouse receive offerings from their family. At first glance, the stela seems to fit the second category. The dead person, Pakhaas, accompanied by his wife, Nesihor, who stands behind him holding a sistrum, or rattle, enjoys the oblations of his son, Pakhy (a nickname, in effect, Pakhaas, Jr.).
This scene, however, is hardly conventional. Pakhy's censer and Nesihor's sistrum rarely appear in scenes of offerings to humans, and Pakhaas is not depicted as a mortal. The small image of the god Osiris that sits on his knees indicates that Pakhaas has become that god. Pakhy thus becomes Horus, who offers to his dead father, Osiris, and Nesihor is Isis.
Catalogue Description:
Round-topped limestone stela. The top portion is decorated with a curved sign of heaven above a sun-disk with down-curved wings. Suspended from the disk are two cobras representing Wadjet and Nekhbet. Facing them are two jackals. Part of the original gilding is preserved on the sun disk; the sky was painted blue; traces of red are preserved on the disk's wings. The jackals are recumbent upon a base line below which is a horizontal sign of heaven. Traces of blue paint with red stars are preserved in this sign. Below, in a rectangular field flanked by was scepters are three figures. To the left, facing right, stands a woman holding a sistrum. She is the mother of the deceased who is shown in the center, facing right towards his son, separated from him by a table with offerings. The son offers incense and a liquid to his father. Figure of Osiris upon lap of deceased. Condition: Chipped in upper left corner; small chips here and there. Diagonal gouge in lines three to five of main text. Much of the original paint and gilding preserved on the figures and their jewellery.

The Palavra Tree's Teen Recovery Centers (TRC's) are for adolescents (ages 12-17). The Centers provide non-residential Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Treatment, Recovery, Prevention and Early Intervention Services for adolescents in the Central South Region. The TRC's are designed to provide culturally appropriate treatment and recovery services that includes, prevention, early intervention and co-occuring disorders, alternative activities as well as referrals. A full continuum of care is available to address the varying levels of services needed by area youth.
The Teen Center's Program was born out of our Bold New Solutions Program.
Dr. Cleo Malone, the developer of the Bold New Solutions Program, realized that "an alarming number of adolescents in Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs (ATOD) Treatment and Recovery Programs were repeating and frequently relapsing." Based on these findings, he created a curriculum that focused on cultural and social values, life skills and personal expectations, the adolescents understanding and acceptance of drug use, abuse and their general well-being.
The 2003 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), developed by the Centers for Disease Control, is a questionnaire administered to students in the San Diego Unified School District Grades 9-12 that measures priority health behaviors.
Almost one in four students (22%) had five or more drinks of alcohol within a couple of hours in the last 30 days; the rate is highest for 18 years old at 31%.
Almost 40% of students reported having at least one drink of alcohol in the last 30 days.
More than one in four 16-18 years old (22%) used marijuana one or more times during the past 30 days.
More than half (55%) of 18 years old had used marijuana one or more times during their life. Lifetime use of marijuana by 18 years old increased 5.8% since the 2001 YRBS.
African Americans have the second highest rate of marijuana use in the past 30 days: 25% compared to 22% for Latino students and 25% for white students.

When we last checked in with the Rangers prospects, two of their highest ranking prospects were squaring off in the WHL's Eastern Conference Finals. Michael St. Croix (4th-2011) of the Edmonton Oil Kings and Dylan McIlrath (1st-2010) of the Moose Jaw Warriors were about to match up in a series that definitely caught the attention of some Ranger fans. St. Croix lit up the WHL this year, finishing in the top ten in scoring, while McIlrath is a noted bruiser who plays a shut down game.
In the end, the scoring of St. Croix's Oil Kings was too much for McIlrath's Warriors, winning the series in five games. St. Croix had two goals and two assists in the five games, upping his playoff total to a line of 5-7-12 in 13 games.
As for McIlrath, he had one assist in the series. Even though scoring isn't really McIlrath's style, he still managed to rack up six assists in the 14 games he played in the postseason. He also finished with 12 PIMs and a +3 rating (although he was -4 in the Edmonton series).
In the immediate future, McIlrath might wind up joining the Connecticut Whale on an ATO, much like he did last season. As for St. Croix, he will be headed to the WHL Finals against Portland, with the winner advancing to the Memorial Cup.

Nvidia fails after reboot
I'm using Ubuntu Dapper. I followed the install instructions listed in the sticky and on the drivers page. I installed the drivers and ran nvidia-xconfig. For some reason, nvidia-xconfig is writing a new xorg.conf file, but puts it in my home directory instead of /etc/X11/. I copied it to /etc/X11 and started the X server. When X comes up, I get an NVIDIA logo page and things seem to be working. I ran glxgears to check OpenGL and this works fine. Oddly, the laptop decides to use the external monitor instead of the main one. When I restart the computer, the x server will not start. I get the following text. I'm not even sure where to start debugging this problem or how to search for topics covering it.

Angry Scots and pidgin tongues
Dear Readers,
My recent column regarding the dissimilarities between Scots and Mexicans provoked a surprising amount of angry responses:
Dear Mexican,
Having just read Great Scot's question and your response, I can't help but think that he is one of those Americans who calls himself Scottish because his surname starts with Mc or Mac or his great-great granny once drank a whisky. These are the types of people who are so insecure about being American they have to latch onto any European heritage to feel like they have some history. As I was born and raised in Scotland till the ripe old age of 21, I can tell you this: There is no Scottish person that I've ever heard of who identifies with Celtic history who would ever boast about the 1707 Act of Union. So, Great Scot has given himself away as being not a Scottish person at all but rather an American who desperately wishes that he were Scottish. There's nothing that annoys me more than when people find out I am Scottish, and go on to tell me how they are Scottish, too, with their American accents. I even had one dumb-as-dirt female respond with a flick of her ginger locks and, "Oh, I'm Scottish too, can't you tell?" No, because hair color isn't really the best indicator of national origin. Nice try, Great Scot. Maybe you should try passing yourself off as another type of foreigner in the USA, because as far as acting and sounding Scottish, you're just about as bad as Sir Sean himself.
A Non-Fraud Scot
P.S. America would be shit without Mexicans!!!!!!
Dear Thrifty Gabacho,
I didn't realize you Scots were as jingoistic, macho and rambling as us Mexicans — gracias for the clarification and love!
Dear Mexican,
Why shouldn't the United States demand 100 barrels of oil from Mexico for each illegal Mexican as a compensation for the cost of their impact on our sovereign country?
Christ, Hispanics Endanger Very Rigid
Oil Numbers
Dear CHEVRON,
Because if Mexico did the same — demand 100 barrels for every time el Norte meddled in Mexican affairs — your Toyota would run on peat moss.
Dear Mexican,
I accidentally broke out some Spanglish at an inappropriate time the other day, which elicited strange looks from my gabacho co-workers. It got me thinking: Do other immigrant populations mix languages the way Mexicans do?
No Es Very Bueno
Dear Wab,
Don't believe the custodians of Cervantes: Spanglish is a beautiful cosa, as is every other pidgin tongue. Such mongrelization is inevitable, is proof that a language is alive, that a culture can not only adapt to new environs but thrive and even enrich the host nation. I don't know about language patterns amongst immigration populations save for those who invaded America, and their impact on American English is what makes it so vibrant.

Above, although the festival is closed, the Sunflower Farm is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays until July 14. Visitors can pick sunflowers from a 15-acre field, tour the farm and shop from a country market. At right, a chance of rain and periods of rain showers didn't stop the crowds from attending the Sunflower Farm Festival over the weekend. Residents from all over the state — and even beyond the borders — visited the Rutledge farm Saturday and Sunday to pick sunflowers, eat barbecue, listen to Bluegrass music and visit with arts and crafts vendors from around the state. Pictured is Ralph Donaldson of The Broom Brothers of Laurens County in south Georgia, which makes handmade brooms and whisks.

Children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder are two to three times more likely than children without the disorder to develop serious substance abuse problems in adolescence and adulthood, according to a study by UCLA psychologists and colleagues at the University of South Carolina.
"This greater risk for children with ADHD applies to boys and girls, it applies across race and ethnicity the findings were very consistent," said Steve S. Lee, a UCLA assistant professor of psychology and lead author of the study. "The greater risk for developing significant substance problems in adolescence and adulthood applies across substances, including nicotine, alcohol, marijuana, cocaine and other drugs."
Lee and his colleagues analyzed 27 long-term studies that followed approximately 4,100 children with ADHD and 6,800 children without the disorder into adolescence and young adulthood in some cases for more than 10 years. These carefully designed, rigorous and lengthy studies, Lee said, are the "gold standard" in the field.
The research by Lee and his colleagues, the first large-scale comprehensive analysis on this issue, is published online this week in the journal Clinical Psychology Review and will appear in a print edition later this year.
The researchers combined all the published studies that met rigorous criteria and analyzed them together. They found that children with ADHD were at greater risk for serious problems such as addiction, abuse and trying to quit but being unable to, Lee said.
"Any single study can be spurious," he said, "but our review of more than two dozen carefully designed studies provides a compelling analysis."
ADHD is common, occurring in approximately 5 percent to 10 percent of children in the U.S., and figures in many other industrialized countries with compulsory education are comparable, according to Lee.
Symptoms of the disorder are common in childr
