BREAKING -- AFP: Ohio-based Goodyear, the biggest U.S. tire maker, will cut 5,000 jobs this year.
Good Wednesday morning. Cable's gonna go cuckoo over this WashTimes A1er: "Obama's new flag frenzy: White House embraces a backdrop of red, white and blue."
TALKER: Chicago Tribune front-page editorial: "Roland Burris, resign: Enough. Roland Burris must resign. ... Strip this whole wretched process out of the hands of the politicians and give it back to the people."
McCAIN ALUMNI NEWS: Howard Wolfson writes: "Jill Hazelbaker, who was John McCain's communications director, is joining [Mayor Bloomberg's reelection] campaign. ... Prior to joining the McCain campaign, Hazelbaker served as communications director for Tom Kean Jr.'s bid for U.S. Senate from New Jersey." Ben Smith (spotted yesterday in front of a White House fireplace) calls it "a rare Republican hire for a formerly Republican mayor now struggling to negotiate his way back onto the Republican line."
CLINTON ALUMNI NEWS: WashPost's Chris Cillizza: "Patti Solis Doyle, campaign manager for much of Hillary Clinton's presidential bid and later chief of staff for vice presidential nominee Joe Biden, is joining the law and lobbying firm Utrecht & Phillips as a partner."
HOW IT PLAYED: The Denver Post banner — "'Let's get to work': Denver ceremony sets in motion $787 billion in stimulus aid for Americans … Local solar company gets its day in the sun." Photo shows the pocket-square-rocking vice president standing proudly, smiling and hands in pockets, behind the flag-pin-sporting president as he signs his name letter by letter with 10 souvenir pens.
A commenter on Yahoo! notes that "each pen would be worth nearly $79 billion."
BIRTHDAYS: Betsy Fischer celebrated with a mother-daughter dinner with two other moms … Packer fan Denny Jungwirth is 38 … Shana Marchio, Bond press maven, is 29 … John DiStaso, the Dan Balz of the Granite State (hat tip: David Wade) …Former Sen. John Warner is 81 (hat tip: Patrick Gavin).
POWER COUPLE — CNN's Dana Bash and John King make their FIRST JOINT PUBLIC APPEARANCE (since their wedding) tonight at 7 as the debut speakers in the Politico-Starbucks Coffeehouse Conversation series. Location: the Starbucks in George Washington University's Gelman Library, 2310 H St. NW. Playbook will referee.
DRIVING THE DAY — Matt Lauer opens "Today": "Mr. Fix-it: With the economic stimulus now signed, President Obama turns his attention to the HOUSING CRISIS. But will his new plan to help those in trouble HURT those who aren't?" Diane Sawyer on "Good Morning America": "Today is action day on the front lines of the American housing crisis."
TOP STORY: The lexicon of the Obama Era already includes SHOVEL-READY, BAD BANK, CAR CZAR, STRESS TEST, TOXIC ASSETS and LOST DECADE.
This morning, the White House will introduce a new entry: SUCCESS PAYMENTS.
Varsity Playbookers are wondering: Does this have anything to do with the RETURN ON SUCCESS policy that President Bush said would allow post-surge troop draw-downs in Iraq?
Nah. This is one half of the housing policy President Obama will announce today, in an announcement that is significant both because it commits a few hundred billion dollars, but also — as one young policy wonk put it — because it's the part of the financial spaghetti that actually hits home for most Americans. Here are the two parts:
1) If you have a good credit history and are in danger of falling badly behind (say, you're one or two payments behind), SUCCESS PAYMENTS are matching government funds that give the bank an incentive not to foreclose.
2) If your mortgage is under water (you owe more than your house is worth), you can't refinance. So the administration is going to open more funds to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac so they can make it possible for you to refinance at the current lower rates.
WHEN: THE PRESIDENT delivers remarks about providing relief for responsible homeowners, at a high school in Mesa, Ariz., at 12:15 p.m. Eastern.
MENTIONED FOR COMMERCE SECRETARY: Businessman, very early Obama supporter and former Virginia lieutenant governor Donald S. Beyer Jr. ("Don Beyer Volvo: America's Favorite Volvo Dealer — Brothers Don and Mike bought the business from their father in 1986. Today the number of family members working in the business stands at eleven.")
SCOOP — Politico's Josh Gerstein, "The White House's missing documents": "In his first weeks in office, President Barack Obama shut down his predecessor's system for reviewing regulations, realigned and expanded two key White House policymaking bodies and extended economic sanctions against parties to the conflict in the African nation of Cote D'Ivoire. Despite the intense scrutiny a president gets just after the Inauguration, Obama managed to take all these actions with nary a mention from the White House press corps. The moves escaped notice because they were never announced by the White House Press Office and were never placed on the White House website. They came to light only because the official paperwork was transmitted to the Federal Register, a dense daily compendium of regulatory actions and other formal notices prepared by the National Archives. They were published there several days after the fact. A Politico review of Federal Register issuances since Obama took office found three executive orders, one presidential memorandum, one presidential notice, and one proclamation that went unannounced by the White House. Two of Obama's actions on regulatory reform were spotted by bloggers, lobbying groups and trade publications after they emerged in the Federal Register."
BUZZ: JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon tells FORTUNE contributor William Cohan that a 9/11-style commission to investigate Wall Street "is a good idea … and if done soon enough it can help guide good regulatory changes — changes based on a good analysis of what happened and why."
DRIVING THE CONVERSATION – Bloomberg, "Greenspan Says U.S. Crisis Response May Not Be Enough," By Rich Miller: "Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said the U.S. may be doing too little to repair its financial system and promote an economic recovery. … 'The amount of money in both these pots [stimulus and TARP] may not be enough to solve the problem,' Greenspan said in an interview before a speech prepared for today to the Economic Club of New York."
Politico's Eamon Javers reports that in the speech, Greenspan offered no mea culpas and "predicted further U.S. home value declines — citing estimates that housing values might go as much as 10 percent lower than their already deflated current levels."
ENOUGH NEWS FOR YA? As Tammy Haddad put it, "It's like every day is three days." The Wall Street Journal, N.Y. Times and L.A. Times all lead with auto restructuring. WSJ banner: "GM Seeks $16.6 Billion More in U.S. Aid: Saturn, Hummer Could Be History by 2011 as GM Plans to Slash 47,000 Jobs; Chrysler Mentions Bankruptcy Option for First Time." N.Y. Times, two columns: "AUTOMAKERS SEEK $14 BILLION MORE, VOWING DEEP CUTS: G.M. Offers to Drop Half Its Brands and 47,000 Jobs, and Close 5 Plants." L.A. Times, 2 cols.: "Chrysler, GM rev up the anxiety."
WashPost goes broader with this 2-col. downer: "Swift, Steep Downturn Crosses Globe: Markets Are Hammered as Hope Fades for Quick Recovery." USA Today of course leads with an airlines story — "Scanners replace detectors in tryout: Use of body imager starts today in Tulsa."
USA Today's cover story is "Obama's war: Deploying 17,000, the president raises the stakes in Afghanistan." WashPost A1: "More Troops Heads to Afghanistan: Obama Boosting U.S. Force by Nearly 50% to Address 'Deteriorating Situation.'"
Politico's David S. Cloud: "By ordering as many as 17,000 additional troops to Afghanistan on Tuesday, President Barack Obama has begun shifting the country's military effort away from Iraq, as he promised to do during the presidential campaign. But by redeploying troops so early in his presidency, he is committing himself even more firmly to quick withdrawals of American forces in Iraq — and that carries risk. If the largely positive security trends in Iraq turn negative, Obama and the military commanders on the ground will almost certainly have fewer military assets to respond. And more forces could be shifted away from Iraq in coming months once the administration completes a review of its strategy in Afghanistan, officials said. So far Obama appears willing to accept — and even minimize — the risk in Iraq, while emphasizing as he did in the campaign that it is Afghanistan where the more pressing threats to the U.S. exist."
THE NARRATIVE – N.Y. Times' Charlie Savage: "Obama's War on Terror May Resemble Bush's in Some Areas."
HOMETOWN NEWS FOR ZELENY – AP's Timberly Ross: "Some Nebraska TV stations have been swamped with calls from viewers who're having trouble tuning in after the digital conversion. Jason Effinger, president and general manager of KOLN/KGIN, said the station received 220 calls by mid-afternoon Tuesday. The Lincoln-based CBS affiliate switched from analog just before midnight."
BUSINESS BURST – Diane Sawyer opens "Good Morning America": "This morning, word of a new fraud to rival Madoff — more than 50,000 people affected." Brian Ross: "It was just last May that CNBC produced a flattering profile of Alan Stanford, calling him Sir Allen and one of the world's richest men."
CNBC: "Before we let you go, is it fun being a billionaire?"
Allen Stanford: "Well, uh, yes, I have to say it's fun being a millionaire, but it's hard work."
Brian Ross: "It got a lot harder for Stanford Tuesday as US marshals moved in on his financial empire, raiding offices in Houston, Memphis and Tupelo, Mississippi. The Securities Exchange Commission alleges Stanford is running a fraud scheme, promising investors impossible to achieve returns, much as Madoff did."
SPORTS BLINK – "'Young and stupid' A-Rod was injected by cousin," by AP baseball writer Ronald Blum in Tampa: "Over and over, Alex Rodriguez blamed himself, using the phrase 'young and stupid' as he tried again to explain where he went wrong. 'Amateur hour,' he called it. The slugger who might someday become baseball's all-time home run king remembered more details about performance-enhancing drugs Tuesday, saying his cousin repeatedly injected him from 2001-03 with a mysterious substance from the Dominican Republic. 'I didn't think they were steroids,' the New York Yankees star said. Later, he admitted, 'I knew we weren't taking Tic Tacs.'"
SportingNews.com: "I screwed up, big time"
SI.com: "I Made A Mistake"
ESPN.com: "I Was Pretty Naïve"
DESSERT – Bloomberg News, "Facebook Backs Down From Rule Changes After Criticism": "Facebook Inc., owner of the world's largest social-networking site, backed down from revisions made to its online service following complaints that the changes may hurt users' privacy. 'Because of the feedback we received, we have decided to return to our previous Terms of Use while we resolve the issues that people have raised,' the company said in a message to users. Criticism circulated on the Internet over the weekend that the most popular social-networking website increased its control over members' information, even after subscribers close their accounts. The decision highlights the challenges facing Facebook in communicating how it handles users' data as people increasingly share information about themselves online. … Facebook's Terms of Use page showed Sept. 23 2008 as the date of its last revision, indicating the return to the earlier rules had been completed. The company says it has over 175 million active users."
So we're paying Big Auto billions to lay off thousands of employees!? Somehow, that seems to contradict the announced plan to 'create and save jobs'. We better hope the Big Auto CEO's don't decide to take their bonus money and skip town, closing the doors, shutting down the companies entirely, and throwing every employee out on the street. We'd go flat broke if we had to pay the going rate for laying off every employee.
File under 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em'. Lil' Sarah, the Alaska Disasta, has apparently decided Alaska is just too small to contain her bubbling ambition. So she's positioning herself to take advantage of the Obama 'Spirit of Bipartisanship', by becoming a tax cheat so she will qualify for a top spot in the new administration.
The times they are a'changing. Pundits are forecasting that someday, the Sulzbergers and the Murdochs will find gainful employment working for top lobbying firms on K Street, bribing Congressfolk on behalf on the New Media Giants, like POLITICO.
Gee, just when the US, and the whole world was so impressed that a minority-member, a Black Man, could become President of the United States. And be very intelligent, and extremely well-spoken, and forthright, and honest, and competent, and clean.....and then, wouldn't you know it, along comes Burris!!
Historians are estimating that this may set the civil rights movement back to about 1940. (Some say 1952, there are always a few optimists in every historian gathering)
Burris' post-Senatorial job prospects are looking up. With all the frenzy going on in Wall Street to clean up their acts, and follow the 'Straight and Narrow', some of the top banks and brokerage firms in NYC are considering tendering offers to Burris to become their 'Token Crook'.
Kudos to the make-up person who turned Eddie Murphy into Roland Burris in an attempt to revive his sagged career. OK, OK, good job, and you too, Eddie, but enough already! You got the part, you can play The Dummy, in Oliver Stone's new flick, 'How Bush Flushed the USA'.
The top security agencies in the USA, together with their 'Think Tanks', have just finished a new 'Threat Analysis'. The results are so horrendous they are afraid to release the results. But insiders are leaking that the analysis revealed a true 'Doomsday Scenario'. The results are, that a consensus is, that if Osama bin Laden and Blagovedick and Palin join forces, the USA is DOOMED! DOOMED!!
So Qualcomm bought out Starbucks!? How come the WSJ didn't know about this?
Rehearsals for the new extravaganza, 'Burris and The Other 99' are going so well that offers are coming in from all over the world to put the show on the road. Reid is getting dozens of 'How in hell can I turn this down' offers, with big checks included, and the word is the Senate may soon go on an indeterminate 'Break', to play the big opera houses of Europe. The White House has so far not expressed a public opinion, but insiders report a 'General sense of relief'.

3 cups
elbow macaroni
1 1/2 cups
1/3 large
onion, minced
1/4 cup
chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons
prepared yellow mustard
2 teaspoons
rice vinegar
1 teaspoon
white sugar, or more to taste
3/4 teaspoon
celery seed
1/2 teaspoon
hard-cooked eggs, chopped
Best macaroni salad recipe I've tried yet! Simple but great just the way it is or a wonderful base recipe to expand on. Will be making this again with Old Bay and crab meat soon! Two suggestions: First off, more onions and a course chop or they'll get lost in it all. Secondly, it will dry out in the fridge. When it does, just add water until it gets the creaminess back! Thanks for the recipe!
Without a doubt, wonderful salad. The rice wine vinager and a little bit of sugar make all the differance in the world. I'm thinking of adding a little cheadder cheese next time. Made it as recipe and made no changes. Thank you for a great and easy salad.

Did this tonight for Labor Day! Just excellent. I did add maybe a dozen or so stuffed green olives for a little brine favor... Next time, I might try a little more rice vinegar. But darned good stuff. The leftovers are MINE.
Made this yesterday- It's really good. I love that I didn't have to chop a ton of stuff. Did add a significant amount more of Mayo- It was too dry otherwise and I added another 2tsp of rice wine vinegar. Had to sub a tsp of celery salt for the seed and salt. LOVED THIS. WILL MAKE IT AGAIN.
Awesome!!! Increased salt n rice vinegar n reduced mustard by half...just to suit my tastes. So glad I didn't start adding extras!! Thought it would b one dimensional n need some additives but it is literally perfect, simple n tasty!! Thnk u!!
After reading the reviews I tried this recipe and absolutely loved it. My only changes were that I used dried parsley, as I didn't have fresh. I also used finely chopped celery instead of celery seeds. Great recipe, it will be my standard from now on.
This is the best macaroni salad I have ever tasted! I doubled the pasta and used about half the amount of onion. I also used only the whites of the hard boiled eggs, and the yolks weren't missed at all. I didn't have elbow macaroni in my pantry, so I used small penne, and it was just fine. I didn't need to increase the amount of mayonnaise even with the increase in pasta...it was still very creamy...could even have used less in order to be a little bit more healthy. This is easy, and oh so delicious. I will make this again soon! I hard boiled extra eggs while making the three for this recipe - to keep in the fridge for egg salad or a snack. Thanks for this great recipe!
This recipe is beyond excellent! The only thing we added was 1 rib of finely chopped celery. Divine...

This two-year program provides each fellow with traditional clinical experiences in their respective disciplines, while also enhancing interdisciplinary experiences through common core clinical, didactic, research, and administrative activities. Geriatric psychiatry and medicine fellows completing the two-year fellowship will be eligible for subspecialty geriatric board certification. Clinical experiences include unique interdisciplinary geriatric assessment clinics targeting underserved populations. Fellows also participate in an innovative Academic Career Development Course, developed in conjunction with the University of Rochester's Warner Graduate School of Education and Human Development, with the goal of preparing the next generation of geriatric academic leaders. The course curriculum provides trainees with the skills to successfully develop, implement, and evaluate academic geriatric programs; learn the necessary teaching and leadership skills; integrate public health precepts into quality improvement initiatives; and relate more effectively with patients, families, and professional colleagues.

The Barnsley keeper was joined by veteran Millwall midfielder Shaun Derry and Preston striker Kevin Davies on this week's Football League Hour on Sky Sports News Radio and they all believe the talented young midfielder would benefit more from another season at Pride Park.
Hughes, who has been linked with a £10million switch to Anfield, has attracted rave reviews for his performances for Derby over the past 12 months.
Steele, the Barnsley captain, also speaks about the Tykes' start to the new season, the mood after surviving relegation last year and the arrival of former Bayern Munich midfielder Dale Jennings.
Derry, meanwhile, is hopeful that his experience can help Millwall overcome a poor start to the season as they prepare for Saturday's clash at Sheffield Wedneday.
Later in the show, Crewe manager Steve Davis joins hosts Mikey Burrows and Dean Windass to discuss his targets for this year. He also urges former Alex midfielder Nick Powell to leave Manchester United on loan if he is to progress in the game.
There's also some great stuff from Dean Windass on the dirty tricks agents play in forcing their players to move, with the former Middlesbrough man admitting he used the newspapers to engineer a better deal at The Riverside.
To hear the full show, plus more from Steele, Derry, Davies and Davis, download the latest Football League Hour.
Tune into tune Sky Sports News Radio every Thursday from 7pm for more exclusive interviews from the Football League.

Florence + The Machine Cover Drake's "Take Care"

Wyclef Jean's Haiti Charity May Have Been Involved In Some Shady Spending
The books are allegedly failing to add up for Wyclef's Yele Haiti relief fund. The charity reportedly made $16 million in 2010, but only an alleged $5.1 million was spent on the relief effort. Wyclef is being defensive, and for Haiti's sake, we hope he doesn't turn out to be a swindler. [Billboard]

Ryanair, the World's most hated airline, are famed for banging on about how fabulously on-time they are, playing that most irritating of fanfares after landing, but just how on-time are they…really?
We've run this test a few times before to find that Ryanair are full of shit when it comes to on-time arrivals.
Our testing methodology is very complex and scientific. It involves us looking at the Stansted arrivals board and taking a snapshot of the most recent arrivals. Er…and that's about it.
So what did we see today? The picture is quite clear, Ryanair are more often than not late arriving even cancelling one of the flights in the small sample that we used.
Why not try a real airline for your next flight? You'll get the added benefit of arriving at an airport that is at the place you are trying to get to instead of being stranded in a cow dung filled field 150km away.

Decode Her Bikini
A Day-Glo thong means she's starved for attention. "Women in one-piece suits are more sophisticated and less frivolous," says Ava Cadell, Ph.D., author of Confessions to a Sexologist. Boy shorts and tankinis mean she wants to show off but is a bit insecure about her body. (Some women have absolutely nothing to hide. Check out The 25 Hottest Summer Bodies of 2012.)

In June 2009, 60 civil society organizations in Africa, including, AIDS Service Organizations, TB focused organizations, networks of People Living with HIV, networks of key populations particularly sex workers and men having sex with men, Faith Based organizations and human rights groups launched a Regional Platform on Universal Access to HIV Prevention, Treatment Care and Support.
The platform brings together an equitable and inclusive range of African civil society partners to support strengthened coordination and participation in regional processes in order to amplify the African voice in the Global HIV and Health agenda; and hold governments and policy makers accountable for decisions and commitments made on Universal Access.
At the March 2012 Health Financing Meeting preceded by a Regional Platform committee meeting it was agreed that the platform would evolve from a "disease specific" platform to a genuine Health Platform necessitated by the broader scope of current platform campaigns. This will ensure that the platform continues to bring together all of civil society role players to campaign and that one of the platforms key objectives would remain domestic resource mobilisation for health.
An implementation framework was developed for an 18 month period which has now been extended to 2013. A review and strategic planning process is in the pipeline that would shape the next 5 years of the platforms key advocacy. This would include the selection of key countries to strengthen and sustain civil society health platforms built on the same political premise of equitable and inclusive leadership. The platform, hosted by World AIDS Campaign International, is steered by a coordinating committee and has an active Co-ordinator.
The Regional Platform aims to:
1. Significantly increase and sustain advocacy efforts to hold governments accountable to their commitments to the Abuja 15% for health declaration and all subsequent Health and HIV plans and commitments set at Regional Level.
2. Promote the enforcement and protection of a human rights based approach to health service delivery toward all key populations.
3. Increase civil society engagement in ensuring universal access and MDG targets are achieved and consultation on the sustainable development agenda Post 2015 is considerate of Health and HIV.
What has it achieved?
The platform has organized high impact advocacy activities during the following key mobilizing moments:
1. Africa Conference on Sexual Health and Rights in Addis Ababa, 2010
2. World Economic Forum, Africa Summit in Dar es Salaam, 2010
3. African Union Heads of States Summit in Kampala, 2010
4. International AIDS conference in Vienna, 2010 campaigns focused on human rights and Abuja 2015.
5. High Level Meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on HIV&AIDS, 2011
6. ICASA in Addis December 2011 – focused on a Health Financing Campaign
7. 4th Inter-Agency Meeting on HIV, TB & Malaria at the African Union in Addis 2012
8. Regional meeting on sustainable predictable Health Financing, Cape Town 2012
9. Universal Access to Quality Health Services in Africa: African Civil Society Call to the African Heads of State at the 19th African Union Summit, July 2012. Addis
10. International AIDS Conference in Washington, 2012 campaigns focused on sustainable Health Financing.
11. UNGASS September 2012 – Assessing the progress on the Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS Article 86 – 95 speak to Resources for HIV.
12. Workshop on New Prevention Technologies, organized by World AIDS Campaign International with the Regional Civil Society Platform – November 2012.
13. Meeting of the Regional Platform committee to shape the objectives going forward – November 2012.
Other upcoming mobilising moments:
1. The initiative on "Increasing collaboration amongst International health agencies and Africa civil society toward strengthening civil society country and regional health platforms in Africa" – current.
The Current Regional Platform Steering Committee:
The platform is spearheaded by a group of dynamic Pan-African leaders/activists representing a wide range of constituents, with the following institutional identities.
Africa Council of AIDS Service Organizations (AfriCASO)
African Men for Sexual Health and Rights (AMSHeR)
East African Network of National AIDS Service Organizations (EANNASO)

August 1, 2015
WASHINGTON - Two leading Republican senators pushing changes to the nation's immigration laws have met with President Obama and say they're convinced of his commitment to signing comprehensive immigration legislation.
The praise from Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina comes even though some other Republicans say Obama just wants to pursue immigration as a political issue to get Latino support and isn't truly committed to a bill.
Speaking to reporters after meeting with the president Tuesday at the White House, McCain and Graham said they believe Obama understands the need for strong border-security measures.
That's been a point of contention since legislation emerging in the Senate would mandate a secure border before a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, a linkage Obama hasn't embraced.

'Anna Noses 'Princess in Endeavour
Frank Calabrese's homebred Dreaming of Anna kicked off her 4-year-old campaign with a photo finish that was almost too close to call when she outbobbed 6-5 favorite Lear's Princess in the $150,000 Endeavour Stakes (gr. IIIT) (VIDEO) at Tampa Bay Downs Feb. 16.
According to Catalano, Dreaming of Anna may race again at Tampa Bay sometime in the future.
"I'm gonna let her cool out and see how she comes out of this race," he said. "She ran very well and there's another turf race coming up, so we might run again here. I'll talk to Mr. Calabrese and map out a plan - the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf (gr. IT) is the ultimate goal, so we'll figure out what to do and hope we get there."
Dreaming of Anna returned $5.60, $3.20, and $2.40 to win, Lear's Princess and jockey Eibar Coa paid $2.80 and $2.20 to place, and Meribel and Gomez brought $2.20 to show.

elton, the last few articles on the vikes have been great. there are even more player interest stories on this team (as well as the lady vikes). keep 'em coming.
c'mon c-town - support this team this week and the rest of the season. go vikes!
very nice, david...c'mon c-town get down to to the wolstein center tomorrow and saturday for the games...GO VIKES!
nice article, terry. the csu vikings are a good, solid team and are c-town's best kept secret (according to the attendance figures). c'mon cleveland and the csu community (especially the students) -step up to the plate and support your home team. the next two games (thursday and saturday) are sure to be fun to watch for even the casual fan.
"Basketball at a downtown commuter school may never become an entertainment staple..."
explain your rationale? this team has a tremendous opportunity to take the city by storm in the next few years. i dont understand your penchant for throwing negative vibes toward the best sports value in the area.
although, overall a good article, and the team and school are most deserving of the publicity. but, your backhanded compliment certainly does an injustice to the hard work of these young men, their coaches, the ad, and the school itself.
best season in 23 years!! how can any sane person not be proud of this team and everyone connected to it?!?!
as a season tix holder; my best to the graduating seniors for creating the foundation of a winning culture. i trust they will continue to experience the same success and camaraderie as they did as a member of this years team. its up to the underclassmen to carry on this new found glory and take the program to the next level.
nows the time, ctown; show them some luv. call the csu athletic dept and inquire into season tix for next years campaign. if you thought the last two weeks were fun, you aint seen nothing yet!
cant wait for next year...
as a sth, kudos to the players, coaches, managers and everyone at csu who made this season the most enjoyable in recent memory. ctown has a great deal to look forward to next year and for many to come.
my best to the graduating seniors for creating the foundation of a winning culture. i trust they will continue to experience the same success and camaraderie as they did as a member of this years team. its up to the underclassmen to carry on this new found glory and take the program to the next level.

hannaman - you have no clue and obvisously the only csu game you watched was sunday. get some facts before you write. there are no juniors on this team; two starters are sophs and two frosh played some serious minutes. there is also some talent in the wings and dont count out coach waters and staff recruitng abilities.
although there is never a guarantee of getting into postseason play every year, coach waters has this program heading in the right direction. do your self a favor and purchase tickets for the regular season next year - you will be surprised by the type of ball team youll see.
great positive comments coming from the populus!!!
whats with miller and moore?!?!?! if anything they should be heralding a new approach to reviltalizing a city that can no longer depend on manufacturing as it once did.
miller and moore should be asking," how can we get this done?" and outlining the steps to do so. of course there will be roadblocks - nothing important is ever easy. miller and moore should be using their expertise and contacts to overcome these roadblocks.
csu needs enegetic trustees who look forward and do not shy away from challenges. if miller and moore do not fit the bill, i suggest they do what is in the best interest of the university; they can resign.
csu and the city need to move forward
joe - nice sentiment in #4. i agree it will be strange not seeing j-bull next year. it seems like he has been playing forever and was cetainly the only bright spot for the team the first two years of his csu career. thank goodness he decided to stay on when coach waters came on board.
we will be watching and cheering on the vikes in the ncaas - boy, doesnt that sound great!! and, i can say without any reservation that our five seniors are leaving the csu community a better place than when they arrived.
CONGRATS to coach waters, his staff, and THE players. what a game. they wont be playing at the 'bert tll next year, but i expect c-town to turn out and support OUR team!!
congrats to Kailey Klein and all the lady vikes on their fantastic year - GO VIKES!!!

Rahmifications of Obama's Presidency
Joseph Palermo: Peter Baker's profile of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel in the New York Times Magazine raises some interesting questions about President Barack Obama's top aide. For Emanuel, it seems that all politics are electoral politics. He wouldn't know a social movement if he saw one.

Abps. Wuerl and Burke make Cardinal!By
You know you're a papist blogger when, having covered Church news at a distance for so long, it takes some time for you to realize that one of the cardinals announced today is actually your cardinal, the archbishop of your city.
That was the case for me today upon the announcement that Archbishop of Washington, DC Donald Wuerl is one of the two American archbishops who will be made a cardinal in Rome one month from today.
Here is Archbishop Wuerl's statement upon being informed of the news:
"This truly is an honor for the Archdiocese of Washington, the Church in the nation's capital, and for all of the clergy, religious and parishioners of this local Church who every day live out their faith in commitment and deep love for Christ. I am humbled by our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI's trust in me as shepherd of this flock and pledge to him my renewed fidelity, affection and loyalty."
The other American archbishop named today was … drumroll … Archbishop Raymond Burke! I am so excited about his elevation to the college of cardinals. Rocco Palmo – who I'm sure will be providing more coverage of this consistory of cardinals – has Archbishop Burke's full statement.
Neither of these appointments is particularly a surprise. Both prelates, after all, occupy positions which traditionally bestow a red hat, but nonetheless, any time a cardinal is named it is a cause of joy for the universal Church, and especially for those who share a country with or live under the pastoral guidance of one of them. May the Holy Spirit guide and sanctify them!
12 thoughts on "Abps. Wuerl and Burke make Cardinal!"
This is why many of us are suspicious of Bishop Wuerl … http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2007/jan/07011604.html
It will be wonderful having Cardinal Wuerl here in Washington. May God bless him!
I wonder how the usual suspects are going to spin this as another demotion for Archbishop Burke?
At the same time, given comments that I've seen directed towards him on AmP's site in the past, I'm also waiting for others to declare Wuerl's inclusion to be a catastrophic mistake. No one seems to want to believe that this Pope knows exactly what he's doing on behalf of the Church.
Hmmmm…that is interesting, Nathan. Tell me, how did you feel when Cardinal Wuerl refused to allow Catholic Charities to give benefits to homosexual couples in Washington D.C.? I was very proud of his courageous witness. Your answer to this same question will tell us all quite a bit about yourself.
I thought he did exactly the right thing. So I guess that tells you I'm a good, orthodox Catholic after all. And I fully believe that Cardinal Wuerl a good, orthodox, pastoral leader for our Church. However, you apparently haven't been around here long enough to see others savage him for arguing against denying pro-choice politicians the Eucharist. I have been. I've seen it. Hence my well-justified comment.
Not so fast, my friend. Me thinks you protest a bit too much. Cardinal Burke's views on the Eucharist and the worthiness of public heretics has not been rebuked either. In fact, his stance and practice has ties to the ancient Church. This is not to say that Cardinal Wurel is wrong either. As it stands presently, neither are right nor wrong so far as such things have not been fully discerned nor revealed at this point (in terms of Church practice/teaching). Such things have been left up to the discretion of each successor of the Apostles (bishops).
That said, I would like to ask you if you would be willing to expand upon your final statement. What is it that you believe Pope Benedict is "doing on behalf of the Church"?
I protest a bit too much? What do you believe I'm protesting? Other than calling out those who have let Cardinal Wuerl have it for stances they don't agree with just as Brian originally took a jab at those who don't like Cardinal Burke? I like objectivity, so if I'm protesting on behalf of that, then so be it. If you're reading into what I've said to be something else, I have absolutely no clue what it would be. And I'm all too happy to elaborate on my comment regarding Pope Benedict: in my 20-something terminology, he's one shrewd dude. He's picking excellent men to be leaders of our Church, but it seems everyone has a beef about something–whether it's the promotions of Wuerl and Levada or Burke and Dolan–depending on their particular ideology. All the evidence over 5 1/2 years indicates Benedict has a clear vision of how he wants the Church represented and Her teachings propogated in the 21st century. Look at his picks thus far to fill the majority of archbishoprics in the country: all are orthodox to the core but also are not publicly confrontational with those who stray from Church teachings. I know there's always going to be grumbling that a given bishop should be doing this rather than that, but Benedict is providing us with teachers of the faith, who can communicate it through traditional and digital media in an effort to persuade others of the Truth. This is setting a post-abuse foundation to restore the Church's credibility, among faithful and non-faithful alike, and begin a new evangelization. And that's what I see Benedict doing on behalf of the Church with his elevations. And in my estimation, it's an extremely wise strategy.
That whole notion of him being "promoted out" was fully debunked when he was appointed to a fifth congregation, IMHO. Cardinal-designate Burke is the Prefect of one Congregation (Signatura), and is a member of four others. He is also a president, and member, of several other noteworthy pontifical commissions and councils. I made a post on it back in July of this year, with as complete of a list as I could put together on his responsibilities. Think about this: Is it just the Pope, on his own, deciding these things, or does +Burke enjoy a great deal of support from others in the curia? He may not be the most electable in a papal conclave among a pool of candidates, but I would put him in the top 10 (and he is relatively young yet).
God bless both of these men, with wisdom, patience, and the truth in their leadership roles. Cardinal Burke was my bishop,and he is truly a wonderful man!
That B16 recently put Wuerl in charge in the U.S. of helping transitioning Anglicans was a pretty certain indicator of the Pope's confidence in him.

Software Hasn't Hurt Photography; It's Made It Better
Posted By David Saxe On August 27, 2012 @ 3:13 pm In Art of Photography | 5 Comments
My previous article was a very opinionated piece regarding the state of camera/lens design. Some readers may have seen it as Nikon vs. Leica vs. Canon, but who cares? It really is a very personal matter. I had stated that camera and lens design had not changed much over the years, but I neglected to mention that they really did not have to, because the major advances in the past 10 years have been primarily in software.
Prior to 2000, most photographers still used film, and the major advancements in technology were in camera design (e.g. autofocus) and film technology. For the most part, the changes were very subtle, but with the rapid advance of digital photography, things began to change at a quicker pace. In years past, exposure and processing technique were absolutely essential to produce quality images, and they are still important today.
If you look at current images in magazines and on the web, however, don't you notice a major change? They are perfect! The exposure is perfect, the color is perfect, the balance between shadows and highlights is perfect. This has nothing to do with exposure or camera/lens technology. This is all about software.
With film you developed negatives to rigid standards and printed them with enlargers. You then had to develop your prints, either by hand or in processors. In order to enhance shadow and highlights, you either burned in areas or "held back' areas using a variety of tools from special cut-out shapes to using your own hands. It was primitive but it worked and the best printers had mastered this art to near perfection. It was the same with color but much slower — you had to wait 10–15 minutes for your print to emerge from the processor and then dry it to see if you got it right. If the image was slightly magenta or cyan, you had to make filter adjustments and then do it all over again.
Software Gives Us More Control in Less Time
Today we have Lightroom and Photoshop. You not only can see your results immediately, you also have the option of better control of your selected areas due to layers, masking and the other 200 adjustment tools that ship with Photoshop. That is why published images today always have detail in the shadow and highlights. The color is rich and saturated, the shadows have incredible detail, the sky is brilliant blue with puffy clouds (they may have been added later), and there are no distractions in the background (they were removed).
Actually I like this! I think it has improved the craft and art of photography immensely. For one thing, it makes us more productive, because we can work faster and more efficiently, especially for those who have to work on deadline.
It gives us more control over our work. We are no longer limited by the graininess from high ISO and shots taken at night. If we want grain, we can put it in, and if the photo is too sharp, we can blur it to create a feel or mood.
Mistakes are easily corrected. I have a whole drawer full of "almost great" negatives that were either unprintable or just not interesting due to distracting backgrounds, thin negatives, water-spot stains, sprocket shadows, etc. It wasn't that I was sloppy in the darkroom or when I took the photograph; when you take thousands of frames, you are bound to screw up every now and then.
These days I can look over my digital "almost file" from previous years and resurrect a bad image, because some third-party Photoshop developer has come up with a product I can use to save these images. (For instance, Lightroom 4 now has a highlight control, which helps me save images where the highlights have been blown.) Some of my best images have been saved by third-party Photoshop developers or third-party Lightroom presets.
Today's Tools Are The Best Yet
Not all photographers will agree with me. (I am so surprised.) Some artists still prefer to use film and make an excellent case for it, just as some photographers still make excellent palladium prints. There is room for everybody. But for those who use photography as a way to make an income rather than a form of self-expression, these are the best times. The tools we have today are superior to anything that was made before, if we choose to use them.
Photography is an evolving craft, and it always has been. However, whether one prefers to use a Speed Graphic from 1930 or an iPhone, there is only one constant: In the end, nothing can replace the skill and eye of the photographer. Those who are good will have a far better chance at succeeding than those who are not.

Software has decidedly made photography easier. In addition to Lightroom and Photoshop, plugins are available for color correction; film simulation; sharpening and a host of other techniques. The two things I have issue with when looking at digital vs film: technology is changing by the minute....it's a challenge to keep up! That's the smaller issue. The greatest hurdle is sharpening. Digital is fabulous, but there is nothing like the crispness of film. Frequently, I think digital approaches the sharpness of film, but there are frustrating times (as there were with film, but less often it seems) when digital seems "soft" and I yearn for the hard edges of film. However, I'm with you: technology is amazing and extremely useful in my photography.
#2 Comment By Eric Lim On September 27, 2012 @ 6:38 am
Photography software is a big help to photographers like me. It makes editing a picture easier. This kind of software is a must especially if you want clear, crisp and precise photos all the time.
#3 Comment By Jore Puusa On October 11, 2012 @ 7:16 am
You say: "Those who are good will have a far better chance at succeeding than those who are not."
Totally untrue nowadays. Those who have better contacts and sell cheaper will succeed -period. Photoshop has produced billions of pictures which look terrible and are all over internet. Amateurs use photoshop as some kinda holy grail and change the normal tonality of pictures to something terrible which they then give to print media for free and kill the professional photographer.
Never in the history have people made so many terrible pictures plagiating each others terrible pictures. Photography as a profession is dying and for some of the reasons You seem to consider as positive.

Jore, you sound very bitter.
#5 Comment By bryan denver photographer On October 17, 2012 @ 1:29 pm
knowing how to use software properly gives pros an advantage that others dont have. and therefore making you service more valuable

By Steven Donald SmithAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 24, 2006 U.S. sailors and Marines embody American ideals, Vice President Richard B. Cheney said yesterday in San Diego during a visit to a Navy amphibious assault ship.
"Each one of you has dedicated yourself to serving our country and its ideals, and you are meeting that commitment every single day," Cheney told sailors and Marines during a rally for Expeditionary Strike Group 1 aboard USS Bonhomme Richard. "You're a spectacular group that has carried out humanitarian missions, disaster relief, and combat operations."
He said sailors and Marines are serving the United States during a challenging time, as it transforms its military forces and fights the global war on terror.
"We have asked you and your comrades to carry out urgent, difficult assignments one after the other," he said. "You have done so, day in and day out, with exemplary skill and honor."
The vice president said the ships in the strike group provided key support during operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom and to various humanitarian efforts.
He pointed out the work of crews aboard USS Tarawa, which provided humanitarian relief in the Philippines; USS Cleveland, which conducted maritime security operations in the Persian Gulf, trained with the Iraqi navy, and transported tons of heavy equipment, food and supplies to Pakistan after a massive October earthquake; and USS Pearl Harbor, which offloaded heavy equipment needed to clear roads, set up hospitals, and save lives in Pakistan, as evidence of the sailors' and Marines' dedication.
"Aboard these ships, on this base, and across the globe, Americans in uniform are writing a new chapter of excellence and achievement for the United States armed forces," Cheney said. "You bring relief to the helpless, hope to the oppressed. And you are protecting the people of this nation in a time of war."
Cheney said there is more work to be done in the war on terror because the U.S. faces a ruthless and determined enemy. "We are dealing with small groups of highly motivated extremists, operating in the shadows, determined to carry out missions of murder of increasing size and audacity," he said. "They came into our country to murder thousands of our fellow citizens. They continued attempting to evade our strengths, to search for our weaknesses in order to find ways to strike again."
The greatest danger to civilization is the prospect of a terror network acquiring weapons of mass destruction, Cheney said.
"In the face of such enemies, we have to consider a few basic questions: First, whether to confront them on our terms or on their terms; second, whether to face them on their territory or our territory; and third, whether to wage this war on offense or defense," he asked.
The United States has answered these questions, he said. "Wherever terrorists operate, we will find them where they dwell, stop them in their planning, and bring them to justice. We will stay on offense and stay in the fight until the fight is won," he said.
As the U.S. transforms its military by placing more emphasis on rapid reaction forces and increasing joint operations, it will also stick to fundamentals, Cheney said.
"We're keeping our eye on the fundamentals, and one of those is sea power. Naval operations are every bit as important, if not more so, than they were in the last century," he said. "Nothing takes the place of a naval task force, able to enter any ocean, project great force from over the horizon, and keep terrorists from disrupting the sea lanes or using the ocean to transport operatives or weapons."
Sea power had a central role in taking down the Taliban in Afghanistan, he said.
"Afghanistan five years ago was in the grip of a violent, merciless regime that harbored terrorists and plotted murder for export," he said. "Today Afghanistan is a rising nation with an elected government, a market economy and millions of children going to school for the first time."
