"Despite clear danger and explicit warnings, the United States of America-distracted by short-term challenges and its own political dysfunction-is steaming toward its own collision, one with long-term debt." Philanthropist, businessman, and former secretary of commerce Peter G. Peterson argues that we can no longer ignore the long-term debt challenges facing our country, because our economic future depends on it. The gross federal debt now exceeds $17 trillion and it is expected to rise rapidly in the decades to come. If the growing gap between projected spending and revenues continues to widen, our federal debt is projected to soar to the highest levels in our nation's history-more than four times its average over the past forty years. This growing debt and the associated interest costs divert resources away from important public and private investments that are critical to our global competitiveness, threatening our future economy. Peterson has made it his life's work to bring awareness to America's key economic and fiscal challenges. He makes clear that if we continue to ignore America's long-term debt, we will diminish economic opportunities for future generations, weaken our ability to protect the most vulnerable, and undermine the competitive strength of our businesses globally. The drama-filled, economically damaging budget battles of the last few years have focused almost entirely on the short term-putting aside the more difficult, but much more important, long-term issues. Peterson offers nonpartisan analysis of our economic challenges and a robust set of options for solving our long-term debt problems. He looks at the impact of aging baby boomers, growing healthcare costs, outdated military spending, a flawed tax code, and our divided political system. And he offers hopeful, durable, and achievable solutions for improving our fiscal outlook through a mix of progrowth reform options that would reduce government spending and increase revenue, and could be phased gradually in the years to come. There's still time to restore the United States as a land of opportunity. Peterson's diagnosis and recommendations can help us confront our fiscal reality, address our long-term debt, and steer the country safely toward a more secure and dynamic economic future"-- Provided by publisher.

"January, 2015 will mark a century of the war on drugs in the United States: one hundred years since the first arrests under the Harrison Act. Facing down this anniversary, Johann Hari was witnessing a close relative and an ex-boyfriend bottoming out on cocaine and heroin. But what was the big picture in the war on drugs? Why does it continue, when most people now think it has failed? The reporter set out on a two-year, 20,000-mile journey through the theater of this war to find out how it began, how it has affected people around the world, and how we can move beyond it. Chasing the Scream is fueled by dramatic personal stories of the people he meets along the way: A transsexual crack dealer in Brooklyn who wanted to know who killed her mother, and a mother in Mexico who spent years tracking her daughter's murderer across the desert. A child smuggled out of the Jewish ghetto during the Holocaust who helped unlock the scientific secrets of addiction. A doctor who pushed the decriminalization in Portugal of all drugs from cannabis to crack. The title itself comes from a formative story of Harry Anslinger, first commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, sent as a boy to the pharmacy for a neighbor screaming in withdrawal an experience which led him to fear drugs without regard to context. Always we come back to the front lines in the U.S., where we instigated the war and exported it around the globe, but where change is also coming" -- Provided by publisher.

A deeply reported, fast-paced exposé of the money and the cardinals-turned-financiers at the heart of the Vatican?the world?s biggest, most powerful religious institution?from an acclaimed journalist with ?exhaustive research techniques? (The New York Times). From a master chronicler of legal and financial misconduct, a magnificent investigation nine years in the making, this book traces the political intrigue and inner workings of the Catholic Church. Decidedly not about faith, belief in God, or religious doctrine, this book is about the church?s accumulation of wealth and its byzantine entanglements with financial markets across the world. Told through 200 years of prelates, bishops, cardinals, and the Popes who oversee it all, Gerald Posner uncovers an eyebrow-raising account of money and power in perhaps the most influential organization in the history of the world. God?s Bankers has it all: a rare exposé and an astounding saga marked by poisoned business titans, murdered prosecutors, mysterious deaths of private investigators, and questionable suicides; a carnival of characters from Popes and cardinals, financiers and mobsters, kings and prime ministers; and a set of moral and political circumstances that clarify not only the church?s aims and ambitions, but reflect the larger dilemmas of the world?s more recent history. And Posner even looks to the future to surmise if Pope Francis can succeed where all his predecessors failed: to overcome the resistance to change in the Vatican?s Machiavellian inner court and to rein in the excesses of its seemingly uncontrollable financial quagmire. Part thriller, part financial tell-all, this book shows with extraordinary precision how the Vatican has evolved from a foundation of faith to a corporation of extreme wealth and power.

A female psychiatrist at a state mental hospital finds herself at the center of a shadowy conspiracy in this dark and twisting tale of psychological suspense. Menaker State Hospital is a curse, a refuge, a prison, a necessity, a nightmare, a salvation. When Dr. Lise Shields arrived at the correctional psychiatric facility five years ago, she was warned that many of its patients-committed by Maryland's judicial system for perpetrating heinous crimes-would never leave. But what happens when a place like Menaker is corrupted, when it becomes a tool to silence the innocent, conceal an injustice, contain a secret? Why is it that the newest patient does not seem to belong there, that the hospital administrator has fallen silent, and that Lise is being watched by two men with seemingly lethal intent? The answers are closer than she realizes and could cost her everything she holds dear.

From the Bakemono's Mouth: God of War III
Make no mistake. God of War III is one of the boldest games on the PS3. If you have some innate bloodlust in your gaming tastes, then this game is right up your alley. Even people who wouldn't play video games for various reasons often pick up the God of War series and III is the most technically capable. But does that mean it's the best?
By far the best thing about this game is the presentation. I was stunned by how good the game looked when I was playing. Seeing the expressions of aggression on Kratos as he went about murdering everything in his way and seeing the intense realism of his movement or look during the quick-time events was insane. When you grab a Minotaur for the quick kill, the camera pans in and you see the fur on the back of the beast, the drool dripping from its flailing tongue, the steam from its pulsing nostrils all while Kratos, covered in blood, jabs his blade into its mouth. This, of course, could have looked even better on 1080p instead of 720, but still awesome nonetheless.
It is unfortunate that the cameras are fixed on the situation since there are many places where I would love to take control of the camera and admire the work put into the backgrounds. Though you don't quite travel to the exotic locals of II, there is a great deal of traversal in the game and it would be nice if you could stop and admire the textures on the ground and the flashy architecture of . However, this game is definitely a great deal darker than any of the other God of War games. Contextually, it's supposed to be rather grim and grey in most of the locations. You spend more time in Hades than the others so the environment is, appropriately, dark and dreary. Architecture within the realm of Hades is gross and misshapen in contrast to the glittering gold of the Olympic architecture. However, when traversing outside, the skies are grey and much of the exotic flare of II or Chains of are left behind for a grimy, dirty theme. A friend told me that it was probably "the most grotesque God of War game," not just because of the intense gore and blood-soaked action, but because the design makes many of the areas, especially Hades, somewhat unpleasant to look at, despite the intense detail.
The characters other than Kratos that are important look rather good on a similar level of effort. The enemies vary in quality from the Minotaurs and Gorgons at the top of the list, down to the typical lackeys. That isn't to say the typical soldiers look bad, because even the grunts have variations that make a difference in their features. But you can really see the level of detail put into the main characters in comparison to the things you're bound to slaughter, which is fitting.
Sound has the usual epic soundtrack that is familiar to the God of War series. I found that the music did make a difference on how I perceived a situation. One of the big boss fights had a song that got me pumped, making the experience much more memorable than most of the other battles in the game. The slams and sound effects during combat definitely get the blood pumping and it is still satisfying to hear Kratos scream as he rips apart the competition.
Voice acting is, hit or miss. They got some unique voices for characters new to the series, replaced some old ones with, in my opinion, inferior ones, and sometimes missed the mark on the familiar ones. The work of Rip Torn as the voice one of the characters was very well done and I actually take pity on his character, despite having taken little pity on so many others. Kevin Sorbo is the voice of a very fitting role. I didn't realize it was him till after I finished the game, but he was definitely a good choice for the part, considering it was an exciting highlight of the game and his delivery helped it the whole way.
Then there are the recurring voices. The voice of Kratos, TC Carson, remains the same, but there is something to the way it's delivered at times, or how it is written, that I just can't like. Much of the dialogue in the game is either poorly written or just redundant and some of the voice actors do a great job at covering up the blemishes in the writing. Sadly, Kratos cannot always escape it. The screams and grunts are still really satisfying to hear; and in the intense moments does a good job of reeling in your attention. In the beginning when I saw and heard Kratos scream, "Do not deny me my revenge!" the intensity got me so excited to see how the game would progress, I nearly yelled with him, "Damn right!"
But the writing can be a trial to get through at times. There are lines that actually made me lose motivation in seeing the game through. Having Kratos say, "I did what had to be done," and crossing his arms while looking away, did nothing more than paint his character as immature. But it isn't just the substance to the writing. Much of the dialogue is repeated, as though we've forgotten midway through the game what we're supposed to be doing. One character actually tells Kratos twice that he "lives in torment because of [him]" before going on to explain how Zeus was "gripped with fear" after the events of such and such. By the end, I believed Zeus was a true coward by the fact that I didn't see much of him for most of the game and because of how often everyone kept telling me how fear affected him.
Then there are the voices that just don't work well at all. Linda Hunt is still an awesome voice actor and plays the part of the narrator for the opening credit sequence, but unfortunately relinquishes her role as the titan Gaia for a different voice actor. Gaia's dialogue in the game is rather minimal in comparison to the amount of grunts and screams you have to hear from her and I quickly became annoyed listening to her. The other failure for me was Athena. I never quite got the sense that the voice actor was comfortable with her role. Much of how she talks feels forced in an attempt to sound more omniscient and mythical. Yes, she's the goddess of wisdom, but her advice throughout the game is utterly useless. Much of what she says is along the lines of "Don't forget what you have to do." He's Kratos, he is not going to forget what he is out to do; you don't need to remind him that he should kill this guy. Her frequent appearances are always coupled with stilted dialogue that really adds nothing to the story.
God of War III probably has the best gameplay out of the entire series. That doesn't mean it's the most satisfying, but the controls and abilities of Kratos work well to make you feel powerful as ever. God of War III takes all of the mechanics of the previous games and refines them to a level that makes most of the game fun to play.
The difficulty setting is probably near perfect for the most satisfying experience. The enemies don't fall over dead too quickly, allowing you to spend more time unleashing hell on each individual, and Kratos takes enough damage to make the fights seem close at times but never so much of a challenge that it feels impossible. The boss-battles are relatively straight forward, though a little less satisfying than some of the previous ones. Most of the time, you'll have more difficulty in the platforming segments than in battle.
With III, the developers took some liberties on some of the familiar mechanics and changed them, for the most part, in a better way. Some people cried blasphemy when the button signals for the quick-time events were moved to the edges of the screen, but I found it to be a more satisfying layout. I never liked the way the buttons popped up before in the middle of the action with only the symbol to guide you. In this, the placement of the buttons corresponds to how they appear on the screen. I found myself barely ever missing an input simply because I knew where to press, based on the placement on screen. For example: the Triangle button is at the top on the controller so the symbol would appear on the top of the screen and X, naturally, on the bottom. I don't think this made the quick events more integrated into the action, but I did appreciate the attempt at making it easier for you to anticipate it. I also felt that they extended the window of opportunity, so the timing felt almost perfect for how long it should take you to press the buttons.
The developers made an interesting choice in terms of the weapons and magic that I felt was, overall, a good decision. In previous games you would get your secondary weapons and your spells. But then you, more or less, had to choose which weapons you wanted to have available to use during combat, as well as which spells you'd like to upgrade first. Instead of spending upgrade points all over the place like before, they've streamlined the upgrade system by tying magic to the weapons. So your Blades of Exile (as they're called in this one) are tied to one particular spell, which means that as you upgrade this weapon, the spell improves as well. I personally like this choice a great deal because you spend less time deciding where you need to put your upgrade orbs to good use. This also means the gorgon spell is finally gone, because who ever used that one?
However, the arsenal is not perfect. God of War III has also come under fire for its weapon choices and, frankly, the magic selection isn't all that impressive. In this rendition, they did away with most of the other weapons that were different, like hammers or spears, and replaced them with more chain-weapons. I've heard some call this "lazy" or "boring," which is understandable. The main character is already using a chain-weapon, which is rather unique as it is; adding more chain-weapons takes away some of the distinction. But whenever I talk about the previous secondary weapons with anyone, most of the responses are negative. I personally didn't enjoy using any of the secondary weapons, save the Gauntlet of Zeus from the prequel and sometimes the hammer from II. The fact that people didn't appreciate the other weapons from before might be the reason they didn't include the variety in this one. It's not necessarily lazy that they included more chain-weapons considering that the corresponding animations for Kratos are different from his main Blades of Exile. I enjoyed using the claws on occasion for their creepy and wild nature, but hated using the last weapon received; it is utterly useless except for its spell. The most distinct weapon, the lion gauntlets, I didn't like at first but started to appreciate more after using them enough, especially since the gauntlets are the most powerful weapon in the game. Yet there are still chains inside them, so take what you will.
There are choices the developers made for the gameplay I did not like though. One of the main problems I have is with its replay value. There is technically no "Game+" just a second playthrough where you may use different special relics that you find along the journey the first time around. These relics power you up, or give you boosts to your abilities, or grant you more orbs. But there is a huge catch. Trophies are disabled while using them. Ok, maybe you aren't a completionist like myself and that doesn't bother you, or you might be thinking, "Well you're not really earning them if you're using a cheat item." But if you've beaten the game already, gained an item to triple your combo meter, and haven't gotten the trophy for 1000 hits, wouldn't you think that would be the first thing you'd go for? Not to mention that, unlike before, when you start the game over you start off as underpowered as before and have to power yourself back up once again. They don't even let you skip the cut-scenes. It's a hassle when all you want to do is go back and tear the place up with a powered-up Kratos and be rewarded for it. The same thing goes for the costumes, you cannot go back to play the game with any of the alternate costumes on without disabling trophies. I find it sad when people tell me that Dante's Inferno has more replay value than God of War III. My suggestion to people is play the game, get all the trophies as they go along, leave the game alone for a long time, then come back and use all the power-ups in whatever costume you like and tear the place up. This way, you won't be bothered by the fact that there are no rewards waiting for you when you're finished.
An area where the gameplay really stutters needs to be discussed. The game is glitchy! I have gone through a full playthrough on Hard—so I spent plenty of time in certain areas having to retry and retry—I've witnessed a full playthrough on Easy, and I'm watching yet another playthrough on . In each viewing of the game I see more and more points where glitches pop up affording the player cheap deaths. I've fallen through the ground several times. I saw Kratos' animation suddenly stop from shimmying across a ledge, to walking on air till he fell to his death. I've seen the kill animations go into walls so all that's visible is the button alerts and blood spew from the environment. I have had moments where I could not progress without restarting because either the boss wouldn't get the big O above its head, or Kratos couldn't make a jump to a surface that he was intended to make by no fault of my own. This leads me to believe the game was rushed. They needed to do some tidying up that they didn't have time for. Personally, I think they should have held off on release a few more months just to get rid of the glitches and to maybe decide if some of the choices they made were really what gamers would want. It may have given them a little more time to tidy up their writing too.
Yes, story is my biggest gripe with the game. If you have read any of my reviews before, you'd know that this is an area of games that I am most interested. However, God of War III succeeds only in repelling my interest in its story. I feel I would not be entirely justified in my opinions on the game's plot without discussing the finer details, so this section will be spoiler heavy, including a synopsis of the end. If you have not finished the game yet, I suggest skipping the rest of this review and playing the game yourself so that you may form your own opinion on the experience.
A long review/rant, I know. Overall, God of War III is the most technically capable of the games. The combat has been refined, the upgrading system has been streamlined, and the graphics are incredible. But poor writing and somewhat frequent glitches prevent this game from earning its spot as the best of the series. That is reserved for II in my book. If you want something gruesomely beautiful to look at, a way to get out some aggression, and you don't care about a story that revolves around "finishing the fight," pick it up. Otherwise, just get the God of War Collection and keep playing II.

Product description
Today - six years after it was created in a Harvard dorm room - over 500 million people use Facebook regularly, in just about every country on earth. That a company this powerful and influential was started as a lark by a couple of 19-year-olds makes it a fascinating and surprising tale. That one of them, the visionary Mark Zuckerberg, had the maturity, strategic smarts and luck to keep his company ahead of its rivals anchors the tale. With exclusive inside access to all the company's leaders David Kirkpatrick tells of the vision, the tenacity, the refusal to compromise, and the vision Zuckerberg has to remake the internet. A brilliant and fascinating cast of characters created Facebook and Kirkpatrick has interviewed all of them. Never before have Zuckerberg and his closest colleagues told what really happened as they built their dynamo while eating fast food, staying up all night, and thumbing their noses at how things are usually done.

Is Hollywood Brainwashing Americans Into Supporting Gay-Rights?
Conservative writer Ben Shapiro joined Pat Robertson on The 700 Club to discuss his new book, Primetime Propaganda, and Hollywood's advocacy of gay-rights and progressive values. Shapiro's book argues that shows from 'Sesame Street' to 'Friends' are pushing left-wing beliefs to viewers, and tells Robertson that what is most despicable are television shows that back gay-rights. Shapiro believes that television shows exclude conservative actors and writers while increasingly include openly gay characters in order to manipulate people into supporting marriage equality. Robertson lamented, "the American people overwhelmingly vote for traditional marriage between a man and a woman, what is it with Hollywood, I mean they are inserting gays one after another, as a matter of fact straight actors are being forced to play gay roles."

Community members sought for committees
A unique feature of the Warwick School Board is its committee structure. Four standing committees — education, student activities, building and property, and finance and legal — meet monthly to focus on specific areas of concern to our schools.
Each of the committees is comprised of board members, school administrators, teachers and community members. This composition allows for diverse thinking and broad-ranging discussion. Although committee meetings are not decision-making sessions, recommendations made by the committees provide a basis for school board consideration and action.
Warwick School District is currently seeking community candidates to fill several openings that exist on the following district board committees:
? The Building and Property Committee meets on the second Monday of the month at 6 p.m. and deals with all areas of the maintenance, construction and renovation of district buildings and grounds.
? The Education Committee meets the second Monday of the month at 6 p.m. and deals with areas of curriculum, grade reporting and various educational program requirements for students in the classroom.
? The Finance and Legal Committee meets the second Thursday of the month at 6 p.m. and deals with all financial planning, budgeting, taxing and legal matters related to the school district.
Each committee member will be appointed for a period of three years. Residents interested in serving on any of these committees should submit a letter of interest and a summary of their educational and employment experiences to the Office of the Superintendent, Dr. April M. Hershey, 301 W. Orange St., Lititz, PA 17543. More SCHOOL BOARD, page A4

1999 Nissan Cefiro • 77,000 miles
Hi there. I have a 1999 Nissan cefiro Auto and recently the car has started to shudder when moving at low speed, almost as if it is about to stall. It happens only once when you first start driving and the check engine light comes on. When you restart the car the light is off and the process repeats itself. At first it was only rarely but it is becoming more common

''Labour, Tory? It's hard to say, innit?''
Is the country really fed up with Tony Blair? And if so, can people swallow Gordon Brown instead? De
Is the country really fed up with Tony Blair? And if so, can people swallow Gordon Brown instead? De
by Decca Aitkenhead Published
Great Notley Garden Village lies on the outskirts of Braintree, but it is neither a village nor a suburb. The 2,000 new houses cover nearly 500 acres of parkland, all built in the architectural style of old-fashioned Essex, but each one artfully individualised - with imitation dovecotes, faux pillars and twin carports. Some have five or six bedrooms, with Freelanders and Mercedes outside. They promise a world both child- and car-friendly; traditional village life in a modern context, at £150,000-£500,000. This is the second-generation Essex of working families, not footballers' wives or East End emigres, and at the last general election it voted Labour.
At a recent dinner party in London, a Tory party canvasser proposed a thesis about the Labour leadership and Great Notley Garden Village. Heirs to their parents' Thatcherite values, since the mid-1990s these residents have felt secure enough to afford the luxury of voting Labour. It is now almost a matter of class; to vote for Blair is classy, signifying social conscience and sophistication. But their generosity is being tested, for they are unhappy about paying taxes with no improvement to schools and hospitals, and feel short-changed. Something must give. They have a relationship with Tony Blair, the decent family man who feels like one of them, and would be uneasy about turning their back on him. But they would not stomach Gordon Brown.
It is not political. It is purely personal. They simply have no feeling for a gloomy Scotsman and if the Chancellor moved into No 10, it would give them just the excuse they need to return to the Tories. Great Notley Garden Village, concluded the party canvasser, is Middle England. Middle England's vote will swing on a question of taste, and it will not swallow Gordon Brown.
This is the sort of theory that keeps Tory dreams alive. I tried testing it out one slow, cloudy Saturday in Great Notley, and the first man I met would have delighted its author. Alan Jackman was eating lunch in Tesco's coffee shop. A local building contractor of 53, he is politically thoughtful but a lifelong floating voter.
"I voted Labour in '97. I think there was a social awareness that Labour would be seen as the right party to vote for because they are doing their bit. When the parties are so similar, people are able to be a bit more charitable with their vote. But also, you can afford to switch your vote around. You can help the less well-off, and then you can help yourself. So I voted Tory in 2001, but next time it may well be Labour. Because I think Blair needs more time."
Would he be voting more for Blair than for Labour?
"Yes, I think I probably would. Because the parties are so close, you try to find something between them that you can focus on, and it's personality that matters. I like to see a politician being brave, and it's nice to see one that won't just cave in to the demands of the public and media. Blair does things he knows will be unpopular but he believes are right. Hence the reason I like him."
What if Gordon Brown were Prime Minister at the next election? "Ah. Well. I would have to rethink it at the time. I'm not a floating voter for nothing, you know." He is silent for a time while he thinks. "I'm just thinking," he explains, "about the personality. You see, I'm not sure."
But Great Notley's other voters fit the theory less neatly. Their views are somewhat complicated, and confused. They live, for a start, in a complicated place, for beyond the Tesco's car park the avenues curl into a maze of cul-de-sacs in which it is easy to get lost, and difficult to find anyone. When not indoors, people are in their cars, usually driving away. The only place showing any sign of human life besides Tesco is the Oval, Great Notley's only pub.
A pair of builders are drinking outside in the beer garden. Both now in their forties, they grew up in east London but have started their own families here. "It's ideal. Nice for the kids to play out." Business has never been so good, they say. Work is sensational. But neither of them would vote for Tony Blair.
"No way. Never. You must be joking." They have never voted Labour. But nor, it transpires, would they vote for anybody else.
"No. Everything's ticking along nicely. We've been able to afford to go out and buy houses, not sit around in council houses."
"Yeah, if you're happy just ticking along the way it is, why vote? I wouldn't bother. I'm pretty sure that if you don't vote, your vote will automatically go to the party that's in, doesn't it?"
Invited to picture a hypothetical situation where that wasn't the system, and the Tories stood a chance of getting in, the pair concede that they might possibly vote for Blair, but are keener on Gordon Brown. "He's the one that's managing the money, in' 'e? We've got to keep him there. He knows exactly what he's doing."
The Oval pub has been built to suggest a barn conversion, with rafters and beams exposed, but the timber work - like the rest of it - is brand new. Model Second World War Spitfires are suspended from the ceiling, Klee and Picasso prints adorn the walls, and 1980s pop is piped gently through the no-smoking air. The menu offers skate with garlic sauce, and rum and banana flambe, or, alternatively, a traditional Sunday roast.
A retired painter and decorator from Dagenham is perched awkwardly with his wife on the oversized leather sofas. He thinks they voted Labour last time, but can't be absolutely certain. She thinks Blair is "up and down", and "takes more notice of what other people think than himself". Would she prefer Gordon Brown? She looks glum. "We haven't got a Churchill, have we?"
As the day wears on, I hear most of the usual complaints about Blair, though seldom expressed with particular feeling. No consensus emerges on his role in the Iraq war, or for that matter on much else. Blair is too domineering; he's a yes-man; he rushes into things; he's too nervous; he's only in it for himself. But despite sounding familiar, the complaints seem somewhat random, with no obvious reason to be made.
On a large square of grass called the village green, thirtysomething mums and dads are watching small boys in Man United and England strips play football. Like everyone I meet, they trace their roots back to the East End. "I'm a Hackney boy," says George. "Proud of my roots, mate. But it's lovely here, isn't it? Lovely village. I bet it's lovely for you to come out here, isn't it? I bet you've never seen so many trees." George runs a car dealership, and business is booming.
"We've got a brilliant hospital," says Samantha. "And there's another one that's just been given money to get done up, too. The local primary school is lovely. Really lovely." She is thrilled about the recently opened retail and leisure centre, and their house has more than doubled in value. So how will they vote next time?
"I don't know." Samantha frowns. "I really don't know."
"Is Screaming Lord Sutch about?" asks George.
Everyone loves living in Great Notley Garden Village. They are delighted with their lot. But they do not credit the Prime Minister with any of their fortune.
"We voted for him last time," says Samantha. "He was a young guy coming in, he had loads of things he wanted to do. He wanted to change things, didn't he? He just seemed like a young, fresh person. But nothing's changed."
It may be because they lack any personal grievance that so many of the people I meet resort to what are basically political writers' objections to Blair, lifted from the media to justify the assumption of disappointment. But it's confusing to them: "I don't understand why he's not putting his capabilities to good use," says one dad.
"Tony Blair," another chips in, "is a decent bloke. You can tell that by his family and all the rest of it. So really, it's a shame."
"He does try his best," says another. "That's why it's a bit hard to understand."
But what, then, of Gordon Brown?
George thinks he's "quite a nice chap". So does Samantha. "He's put a lot of money into the NHS, hasn't he?" Neither of them has ever even considered the idea of him as Prime Minister.
"The only thing we've seen Gordon Brown speak about is his budgets, and that's it," ponders an elderly woman. "So it's hard to say. I can't really see him as Prime Minister." Nobody can. But then, nobody has seriously imagined anyone new in charge.
Blair has assumed the emotional quality of the weather: a constant about which one feels vaguely obliged to grumble, but also happy to, it being unlikely to make any difference. Eventually, however, people in Great Notley will have to turn their minds to an alternative occupant of No 10. You could say that they owe most of what matters to them to the Chancellor. Low interest rates have bought them their five-bedroomed houses, made the building trade buoyant, kept consumers buying cars. The children with their clear white skin and even features are dressed in Gap Kids. Teenagers in Mini Coopers collect party packs of beer from Tesco for the evening barbecue, wearing Burberry from the designer mall just along the A120.
A dad refereeing the football on the green believes that he is like everyone else; given a choice, he will always vote for the best-looking candidate. "Churchill wasn't good-looking," his father reminds him. "Yeah, but that was in the days when people understood about politics. Now they just look at someone and say, 'I like him', or 'I don't'. That's what I do. Because the government doesn't make any difference to your life, does it?"
Back in Tesco, Alan Jackman has thought more about the government than most in Great Notley. It's a good life here, he says. An unbelievable standard of living. People should consider themselves lucky.
But the Chancellor for prime minister? "He gives me the impression that he is a man that is excellent in support. But he doesn't give me the confidence. I look at him, and I don't think his personality is dynamic enough to be our Prime Minister. I like to know that a steady-thinking kind of man like him is there. Just probably not as Prime Minister."

Two Audi drivers on podium, three among the top four and six in the points: Audi scored the largest number of points at the Norising and with a score of 196 in the DTM manufacturers' standings is clearly ahead of BMW (132) and Mercedes-Benz (76).
In the drivers' classification, the Audi squad managed to reduce the gap to the leader of the standings, Marco Wittmann. Five Audi drivers – Edoardo Mortara, Mattias Ekström, Mike Rockenfeller, Adrien Tambay and Miguel Molina – are now in the top six spots of the standings.
Due to heavy rainfalls the race in Nuremberg was started behind the safety car. When the race was released after three laps there was an incident of contact between Jamie Green in the Hoffmann Group Audi RS 5 DTM of Audi Sport Team Rosberg, who had qualified in third place, and the second-placed Mercedes of Paul di Resta, who had left an unusually large gap between his car and the car in front. A five-second pit stop penalty was imposed on Green, which caused the Briton to lose touch with the subsequent winner Robert Wickens. Still, on finishing the race as the runner-up, the Briton managed to score his best result since switching to Audi.
"It was a funny race for me," said Green. "Paul di Resta and I are good friends. That's why the contact was a nightmare for me. I subsequently received a penalty for it, which cost me time. However, I think I couldn't have beaten Robert Wickens today anyhow, so as far as that's concerned I'm happy with second place. Many thanks from me to Audi and my team that did a superb job. The Norisring is a very special track. That we were so strong here is a good sign."
A sensational race was driven by Mattias Ekström (Red Bull Audi RS 5 DTM) and Edoardo Mortara (Audi Sport Audi RS 5 DTM). After qualifying, the Swede had been relegated from seventh to twelfth place on the grid because, in the opinion of the stewards of the meeting, he had obstructed another driver. Despite the controversial penalty the Audi driver managed to recover from grid position twelve to third place and to drive the fastest race lap in the process as well.
Even more positions – an amazing 14 – were made up by Edoardo Mortara. The Italian advanced from position 20 on the grid to fourth place. With that, Mortara improved to second place in the drivers' standings.
Adrien Tambay in the Playboy Audi RS 5 DTM was initially another driver of Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline to make it into the top five. A 30-second time penalty following a collision with Pascal Wehrlein subsequently caused the Frenchman to drop to ninth place.
Driving as a tandem almost throughout the race were Mike Rockenfeller (Schaeffler Audi RS 5 DTM) and Timo Scheider (AUTO TEST Audi RS 5 DTM), who scored points in positions eight and ten. The team's decision to the benefit of the reigning DTM Champion was made when he switched from rain tires to slicks ahead of his team-mate.
Nico Müller (Audi Financial Services Audi RS 5 DTM) lost his good starting position when he was turned around by Joey Hand in the early stage of the race. A drive-through penalty he received for failing to observe blue flags cost additional time so that the young Swiss finished his first Norisring race in 18th place. Miguel Molina was classified in 22nd place although, shortly before the end of the race, he had to park his Audi Sport Audi RS 5 DTM in the pits early following contact with a wall.
"Two Audi drivers on podium, three in the top four and six in the points – with a result like this you can't be unhappy in the DTM even though we again didn't manage to score our home victory at the Norisring," said Dieter Gass, Head of DTM at Audi Sport, in summing up the race. "But I do think that we delivered a very good show to the many Audi fans in the grandstands. We extended the lead in the manufacturers' classification and now have five of our drivers in the top six of the drivers' standings. That's a respectable achievement."
– End –
Strong Audi performance at the Norisring

I had been in Kershaw County just a few months when I got one of the worst phone calls of my professional career. At about 8 a.m. on a gray Saturday morning in early December of 2007, I was coming inside from a morning run, and the phone was ringing. I vividly remember a momentary pit in my stomach; a phone call early on Saturday morning is rarely good news. I had no idea; however, how tragic the news would be. A young man in our community had been shot and killed the night before in a gang-related incident ...
A very wise man who happens to own one of my favorite hideaways in the North Carolina High Country once told me, "You need a horse in the mountains the same way you need a boat in the Lowcountry."

A couple of months ago, I "rejoined" LinkedIn, the social network for business professionals. I got back in to it because the network was beginning to expand from simply helping people network for that next big job to helping them with their current jobs. A few friends and family members had also joined up at the same time that LinkedIn began adding some more news-oriented and thought-provoking features.

A Nov. 16, 2012, op-ed by Lucian Truscott IV published in The New York Times declares that our post-World War II military leadership has traded true fighting spirit for "talk shows and photo spreads" and "military-spec business suits" and, therefore, has failed to succeed in battle since "the stalemated Korean War." Truscott's linkage between alleged military failures and a general officer population of "strutting military peacocks" is readily contradicted by the two men he invokes, George Patton and Lucian Truscott Jr., his own grandfather.
CHARLESTON, S.C. -- By all appearances Friday morning, as thousands lined the street waiting (and wilting) for hours in 90-degree heat to enter the funeral arena where President Obama was to deliver a eulogy for state Sen. Clementa Pinckney, racial unity seemed a comfortable fact of life.
Even though it's not an election year, in many ways it's always an election year for some politicians. Given the fact they are "hired" and employed by the voting public, their lives are a nearly constant campaign for re-election. I can understand that. They have cushy jobs they want to keep for many years to come.
When I was a wise-elbowed, wet nosed kid barely out of college, a lot of people used to annoy me with questions about what I wanted to do for a living.
