Interests & Expertise
Dr. Sindhu's research focuses on pursuing theoretically rigorous exploration of approaches for improving upper extremity rehabilitation in two related areas: rehabilitation assessments and rehabilitation outcomes. Within the broad framework of rehabilitation assessments, his research has focused on 1) sincerity of effort testing, 2) self-report assessments of upper extremity function, and 3) pain assessment. He has conducted studies to determine differences between maximal and submaximal grip efforts using force-time curves and surface electromyographic signal among healthy people as well as people with musculoskeletal disorders and injuries, including traumatic musculoskeletal injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, and fibromyalgia. Surprisingly, these conditions affect different force parameters. Recently, he found that fear-avoidance beliefs related to pain result in poorer rehabilitation outcomes in two out of eight groups of musculoskeletal disorders of the shoulder, with one group including people with rotator cuff tears.

Star Homes: A piece of Joan Rivers
Joan Rivers is a legendary comedian, whose stints on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" and red carpet pre-awards shows cemented her in television memory. With the recently-released documentary "Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work" taking a look inside her life, let's peek into her home as well to see how we can get a piece of Joan Rivers' home décor style.
Joan Rivers bought and revamped her Connecticut country home in 2003 to suit her particular tastes. Emulating various landscapes ranging from English countryside estates to Vincent Van Gogh's house in Giverny, Rivers' home décor picks up on all sorts of rustic European influences. One particular highlight of her home is a rarely-acknowledged source of interior inspiration – her hallway.
The windows to the left are actually a trick of the eye or "trompe l'oeil" as the French say, depicting several homes of beloved friends and even a doggy companion. With a wall mirror positioned between each real and depicted window, the hallway implies a larger space, a handy tip for avoiding claustrophobia in small living spaces. Try it out in your own home to get a little star style on a budget!
Placing your best and fanciest furniture items at the end of the hallway as Rivers' does with the chandelier is a great way to add a sense of drama to your living room. With the hallway serving as a red carpet walk to your loveliest furniture pieces, you can really spotlight some elegant furnishings. To get a classy chandelier such as the one depicted without breaking the bank, I recommend this candle chandelier styled in a similar manner as Rivers' lighting.
One of Joan Rivers' best rooms, unsurprisingly, is her master bedroom. Joan really goes all out in a romantic embrace with the light and fluffy shade of carnation pink. With an elaborate canopy bed and a French curtain valance, pink is certainly the essence of her room, but feel free to play around. In fact, by the window is a large white palm tree by the storage bench. Have fun with your own room and include something lighthearted like a palm tree lamp in your bedroom to express yourself. When planning a room, remember to consider a color scheme and go with it when picking out different elements of your interior.
Joan Rivers' home in Connecticut is just bursts of colors all around and as dynamic as her own famous personality. The way she sticks to certain color schemes for different rooms is a great way for you to play around with your own furnishings at home and also unite different styles into one theme. Try it out next time you want to update your home!

Why is it so hard to lose weight? The main reason is that if you lose weight you get tired and hungry and miserable. That is the psychological part of weight loss. But another conspiracy against weight loss is physiologic. Your metabolism decreases if you lose weight. That makes it harder to lose more weight and easier to put it back on. There are many ways this could happen and it's kind of complicated and difficult to study.
Resting energy expenditure (REE) goes down and activity energy expenditure goes down if you lose weight. Activity energy expenditure and maybe REE, go down even more if you "get in shape." Resting energy expenditure, the energy you burn while you're doing nothing, decreases if you lose weight because that weight is no longer there to burn calories. Your resting energy expenditure is dependent on how much of you there is, especially the fat-free part of you. Another possible conspiracy would be if your REE goes down even more than would be predicted by the loss of your fat mass and fat-free mass.
A few weeks ago we reported on a study of this question that found that while you are losing weight the body fights back physiologically more than is accounted for by the weight loss but that once you stabilize, if you stabilize, at a reduced weight, the decrease in REE is explained entirely by the reduced body mass.
Another examination of this issue was published recently in the journal Obesity. (1) These authors from Toronto and Ottawa examined data from 2,977 subjects from dozens of published studies. They found that before those subjects lost weight their fat mass and fat-free mass explained 77 percent of their REE and that after they lost weight 79 percent. No difference. So it is not a conspiracy, or at least this small part of why it is so hard to lose weight is not part of the conspiracy. Maybe more interesting from this information is what about the other 20 plus percent of REE whether you lose weight or not? What explains that?
In the end the only way to find out what is going to happen to you is count your calories and watch the scale.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
3:16,17 From other parts of the epistle, it appears that the false teachers among the Corinthians taught unholy doctrines. Such teaching tended to corrupt, to pollute, and destroy the building, which should be kept pure and holy for God. Those who spread loose principles, which render the church of God unholy, bring destruction upon themselves. Christ by his Spirit dwells in all true believers. Christians are holy by profession, and should be pure and clean, both in heart and conversation. He is deceived who deems himself the temple of the Holy Ghost, yet is unconcerned about personal holiness, or the peace and purity of the church.
Pulpit Commentary
Verses 16-23. - The peril and folly of glorying in men. Verse 16. - Know ye not. The phrase is used by St. Paul in this Epistle to emphasize important truths, as in 1 Corinthians 5:6; 1 Corinthians 6:2,.9, 15; 9:13, 24. Out of this Epistle it only occurs in Romans 6:16; Romans 11:2. That ye are the temple of God. "Ye," both collectively (Ephesians 2:21) and individually; "God's shrine;" not built for men's glory. The word "temple" in the Old Testament always means the material temple; in the Gospels our Lord "spake of the temple of his body;" in the rest of the New Testament the body of every baptized Christian is the temple of God (1 Corinthians 6:16), because "God dwelleth in him" (1 John 4:16; comp. John 14:23). In another aspect Christians can be regarded as "living stones in one spiritual house" (1 Peter 2:5). The temple; rather, the shrine (uses) wherein God dwells (naiei), and which is the holiest part of the temple (hieron).
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God,.... The apostle having spoken of the saints as God's building, of himself as a wise master builder, of Christ as the only foundation, and of various doctrines as the materials laid thereon, proceeds to observe to this church, and the members of it, that they being incorporated together in a Gospel church state, were the temple of God; and which was what they could not, or at least ought not, to be ignorant of: and they are so called, in allusion to Solomon's temple; which as it was a type of the natural, so of the mystical body of Christ. There is an agreement between that and the church of Christ, in its maker, matter, situation, magnificence, and holiness; and the church is said to be the temple of God, because it is of his building, and in which he dwells: what the apostle here says of the saints at Corinth, the Jewish doctors say of the Israelites (n), , "the temple of the Lord are ye"; and which being usually said of them in the apostle's time, he may refer unto; and much better apply to the persons he does, of which the indwelling of the Spirit was the evidence:
and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you: in particular members, as a spirit of regeneration, sanctification, faith, and adoption, and as the earnest and pledge of their future glory; in their ministers to fit and qualify them for their work, and carry them through it; and in the whole church, to bless the word and ordinances, for their growth, comfort, and establishment. This furnishes out a considerable proof of the deity and distinct personality of the Spirit, since this is mentioned as an evidence of the saints being the temple of God, which would not be one, if the Spirit was not God, who dwells therein; and since a temple is sacred to deity, and therefore if he dwells here as in a temple, he must dwell here as God; and since he is mentioned as distinct from God, whose Spirit he is, and dwelling, a personal action is ascribed to him, he must be a distinct divine person.
(n) R. Alshech in Hag. ii. 5.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
16. Know ye not—It is no new thing I tell you, in calling you "God's building"; ye know and ought to remember, ye are the noblest kind of building, "the temple of God."
ye—all Christians form together one vast temple. The expression is not, "ye are temples," but "ye are the temple" collectively, and "lively stones" (1Pe 2:5) individually.
God … Spirit—God's indwelling, and that of the Holy Spirit, are one; therefore the Holy Spirit is God. No literal "temple" is recognized by the New Testament in the Christian Church. The only one is the spiritual temple, the whole body of believing worshippers in which the Holy Spirit dwells (1Co 6:19; Joh 4:23, 24). The synagogue, not the temple, was the model of the Christian house of worship. The temple was the house of sacrifice, rather than of prayer. Prayers in the temple were silent and individual (Lu 1:10; 18:10-13), not joint and public, nor with reading of Scripture, as in the synagogue. The temple, as the name means (from a Greek root "to dwell"), was the earthly dwelling-place of God, where alone He put His name. The synagogue (as the name means an assembly) was the place for assembling men. God now too has His earthly temple, not one of wood and stone, but the congregation of believers, the "living stones" on the "spiritual house." Believers are all spiritual priests in it. Jesus Christ, our High Priest, has the only literal priesthood (Mal 1:11; Mt 18:20; 1Pe 2:5) [Vitringa].

Animal life in the Virgin Islands includes a variety of interesting creatures like iguanas, mongooses, donkeys, deer, pelicans, hummingbirds, herons, bats and more. There are also various lizards, frogs and insects. So from the fierce looking iguana to the graceful heron and speedy mongoose lets take a look at what you can expect to see on land and in the sky while sightseeing around St. Thomas, St. Croix, St. John and Water Island!
Pronunciation: (ig-wah-na) Iguanas are a reptile native to the Caribbean, Madagascar, Fiji, Galapagos Islands and Tonga; various species exist. Baby iguanas are bright, almost florescent green while adults range from a dark green to brown and black. An adult iguana can get up to 6 feet long including the tail, which makes up about half of the iguana's length. The iguana's skin is rough and there are pointed scales on the back of the neck. Iguanas are often found high up in tree tops enjoying the sun and eating there favorite food; leaves. In the Virgin Islands you may see iguanas in the trees and bushes around your resort or scurrying across paved roads in forested areas. Some iguanas in resort areas will approach you as they may have gotten accustomed to being fed flowers, lettuce or leaves by staff and visitors. Although they may appear domesticated you should not corner or startle iguanas as they use their tail as a defensive whip.
Hermit crabs have soft abdomens which require the protection of a shell. They do not make their own shell, therefore as they grow they must find larger shells to occupy. Their lives are spent searching for and occupying shells of other animals. The hermit crab in this picture is donning a whelk's shell. Other crab species found in the Virgin Islands include the ghost crab that can be seen quickly moving along beaches and a few species of land crabs that burrow into the ground and can often be seen at night or just peering out of their holes in the day.
Lizards are a common site in the Virgin Islands. The largest lizard found in the U.S.V.I. is the iguana discussed above. Other species of lizards include the anole, a small lizard that eats insects and lives in trees and around rocks in forested areas of the islands. A visible indicator of male anoles is a red and green throat fan that it displays during courtship. Another lizard that you might see on the walls of outdoor restaurants or that might find its way into your villa or hotel room is the house gecko; also called a "woodslave". The house gecko eats bugs and will often appear on walls and ceilings at night close to outdoor lights. Many insects are attracted to light making this location a prime spot for a feast. Frogs can also be seen in the islands but they are more often heard, particularly after a rain shower at night. Learn More about Frog Sounds
The mongoose is a carnivorous mammal. Native to South Asia and Africa, it was introduced in the Virgin Islands to control rat populations during plantation days. This did not occur. The mongoose hunts during the day and the rats come out at night. The mongoose's introduction to the Virgin Islands was disastrous for the local bird and snake population. The mongoose eats other mammals, birds, and birds' eggs. It is said to be the only animal fast enough to catch a cobra and live to tell about it.
Wild donkeys are found on St. John. They are descendants of domestic donkeys that were released or escaped into the wild. They are usually in small groups of three to five. Although some of the donkeys are domesticated and friendly they should not be provoked or harassed. You may get kicked. You will find many donkeys in the Cinnamon Bay area of St. John and around Coral Bay.
Goats can be seen in small groups all over the islands in backyards, school yards, on some unpopulated islands or eating grass on the sides of roads. Goats can also be found in cooking pots. Goats are eaten as a special meal on local holidays and served at local restaurants. They are a common site on road sides in St. John, particularly in Coral Bay.
There is a small deer population in the Virgin Islands. The white tailed deer was brought to the islands by colonist in the late 1700's for hunting purposes. They are a shy, solitary animal. Occasionally they are sighted in the National Park on St. John, in densely forested areas of St. Croix and on the East End of St. Thomas.
Bats are said to be the only animal that is native to the Virgin Islands. Bats can be found in caves in less populated areas of the islands and are sometimes spotted flying at night. It is not uncommon for several dozen bats to roosts together in a cave. They are primarily insect eaters and nectar drinkers however there is a fisherman!
The fisherman bat is a threatened species in the Virgin Islands. The bat roosts in caves near the sea, woodlands and in roofs of old houses. Through the use of echolocation or sonar, the bat detects ripples caused by fish swimming close to the water's surface and uses it's long, curved claws to catch them, thus the name fishermen bat. They are good swimmers and they use their wings as oars. The species' numbers have greatly declined because of coastal development.
Pelicans are large aquatic birds with long bills. They feed on schools of small baitfish and can often be seen swooping down and diving into the sea. They resurface with about a gallon of water and hopefully fish in their large pouch. They sit at the surface letting the water drain while the fish remain trapped and get eaten! They are fun to watch and can often be seen at the beaches and coastal areas around the Virgin Islands.
The brown pelican is found throughout the Caribbean and is said to nest in very distinct areas of the Virgin Islands; including Mary's Point on St. John, Congo and Whistling cays off of St. John and Buck Island off of St. Croix. The effects of poaching for eggs, young and adult pelicans, disturbance of nestling colonies by humans and reduction of food resources have caused the pelicans numbers to decline. The brown pelican is found in the Virgin Islands and is federally endangered.
The Sea Gull is also known as the laughing gull because of its clear 'ha, ha, ha' call. It is a medium sized bird found worldwide. These webbed feet birds are usually found near water in the Virgin Islands and are particularly common in areas where fishermen clean their catches. Their feathers are white, gray and black. They are omnivorous birds, however they often scavenge. They are often seen stealing fish from pelicans; so daring are the sea gulls that they sometimes take the fish right from the pelican's bill!
Hummingbirds are small, quick birds. Commonly found in the Caribbean and parts of North America. They are usually brightly colored. They feed on nectar from plants and small insects caught in flight. You will find these delightful little birds flying around the flower beds of homes and resorts in the islands. The bananaquit is often called 'yellow bird' account of its bright yellow chest and 'sugar bird' on account of its affinity to sweets. Homes owners in the Virgin Islands often hang bird feeders with sugar or with sugar water for the bananaquits!
The Virgin Islands is home to the great blue and little blue heron. The great blue heron stands 3 feet tall with a wingspan of approximately 7 feet. It is a slate blue color and is a graceful wader and often stands motionless while fishing. It eats fish, crabs, lizards and mice. The little blue heron is also an elegant wader. It is common to see these birds around salt ponds, on mangrove islands and in lagoons. The young herons are snow white before their first molting.
The cattle egret was first reported in the Caribbean in the late 1930's. Standing about 20 inches tall the snow white egret eats small insects and lizards. It is often seen in cow pastures around the Virgin Islands, often standing on the backs of cows.
Various species of doves are to be found in the Virgin Islands. The cooing Zenaida dove is quite similar to the American mourning doves and are commonly found and often heard in the islands. Not commonly sighted is the bridled quail dove. When it is seen it is usually searching for seeds on the ground in densely forested lowlands. It is an endangered species primarily because its eggs and young are eaten by feral cats and mongooses. Additionally development of lowlands have heavily disturbed their feeding and nesting areas.
If you've ever considered moving to the USVI, or if you know someone that wants to, this book is for you. Desiring Paradise is a true story about two New Englanders who followed their dream. Experience the island from a different perspective - as newcomers trying to survive their first year in Paradise. It's guaranteed to raise your eyebrows.

A co-worker of mine sent me this recipe a few weeks ago and while the ingredients have been sitting in my cupboard, I just never got around to making this stuff. The only question I have now is, "WHY have I not made homemade peanut butter until now?!"
As you all know I totally love peanut butter but I am usually a bit of a purest in that I prefer the all natural kind over the smooth because it doesn't have all those sneaky, sugary ingredients mixed in. I couldn't believe how easy it was to whip up a batch of homemade pb. This delicious spread came together in 5 minutes flat and only required 4 ingredients. If you own a food processor, you should make this stuff. Right now. I'm going to warn you though, it takes a lot of will power not to eat it right out of the jar with a spoon!
- 1 1/2 cups dry roasted peanuts
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. canola oil
- 1/3 cup good quality white chocolate, melted (I used Bakers squares)
- Add the peanuts to a food processor and blend on high until a thick paste forms.
- Slowly pour in the vanilla and oil while the processor is running and blend until the mixture becomes nice and smooth (approx. 2-3 minutes).
- Stop food processor, pour in white chocolate. Mix for an additional 30 seconds or so until blended.
- Yep, that is it.
Note: This peanut butter will last for about a week at room temperature and a few weeks if you store it in the fridge.

NIU Law Student Sarmistha Banerjee
Selected as a Next Generation Leader
April 29, 2014
DeKalb, IL–Third-year NIU College of Law student Sarmistha Banerjee has been named a Next Generation Leader (NGL) in the American Constitution Society.
The Next Generation Leaders program identifies and provides support to recent and forthcoming law school graduates who have demonstrated special leadership in their work with the American Constitution Society's student chapters, and who have the interest, skills and ability to remain vital members of the ACS community for years to come. NGL applicants undergo a competitive application process. Each year, only 20-25 students nationwide are selected as NGLs.
Banerjee is the President and a Founding Board Member of the NIU Law Chapter of the American Constitution Society, which is in its second year of existence.
"I am very proud that our chapter, still in its infancy, is already represented within the NGL ranks, and very thankful that our hard work has been recognized," Banerjee says. "I'm also very excited to be integrally connected to the great work done by ACS, and to access an extensive network of progressives in the legal world."
During her time as a student at NIU Law, Banerjee has served as a first-year student Representative in the Phi Alpha Delta legal fraternity, a mentor for the NIU Law Women's Law Caucus, and the NIU Law Representative at the Norman Amaker Public Interest Law & Social Justice Retreat. Banerjee was also the Second Best Oralist at the 2013 Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition and a Finalist in the NIU Law Internal Mock Trial Competition in 2012.
Banerjee has received a scholarship from ACS to attend its National Convention June 19-21, 2014 in Washington, D.C. She will be officially recognized as an NGL at that event.

In the history of family sitcoms, has there ever been a woman so intelligent, so poised, and so willing to deliver impassioned monologues about gender equality as Clair Huxtable?
As a kid watching The Cosby Show -- the only primetime program my parents permitted back in the '80s -- I was completely in awe of her. As an adult who's watched many, many hours of TV since (I do what I want!), I'm more impressed than ever. 20 years after The Cosby Show's peak, Clair is still more progressive than most of the TV moms who've succeeded her.

And there you have it folks, music's biggest night–and audio's biggest night–has come and gone again. Here's a music critic's perspective of what worked and what didn't at the 2014 Grammy awards.
What worked:
The Sound
I had an opportunity this year to view the show in a decidedly unorthodox way: streamed via Aereo through Apple Apple TV onto a friend's television. Though the video lag left something to be desired for, the audio quality was surprisingly crisp, clean, and buoyant, even as the telecast leapt from genre to genre.
The thumps of Beyonce's staggering 808s on "Drunk In Love", the perfect '70s approximation of "Get Lucky" and its various mash-ups, the excellent balancing between all the players on Trent Reznor's set–be they acoustic (Lindsey Buckingham), electric (Josh Homme), or just plain loud (Dave Grohl)–all of it translated through the wayward jumps of media.
This is a testament to the work of engineers like Eric Schilling, who mixed the bands for broadcast audio, and Ron Reaves and Leslie Ann Jones, who ensured that what happened in the house sounded as good as it possible, thereby amping up the energy for the bands and their fans. These people don't get enough credit unfortunately; remember this: if you were blown away by the sound and the energy of these performances, well, you wouldn't have even heard it if it weren't for the engineers.
The Spectacle
Ever since the "Grammy Moment" concept gelled into full sway, people have been wondering what the ceremony would do to top itself year after year. In 2014, the bar was raised yet again with a mixture of exciting mash-up performances and an attempt to make some groundbreaking history that actually felt well-earned.
Everyone is surely buzzing over Daft Punk's performance featuring Nile Rodgers, Pharrell, and Stevie Wonder and deservedly so; the energy off that performance was so intoxicating that one could feel its nervy presence lingering in the spirited performance of Carole King and Sara Bareilles shortly there after.
But what truly impressed me was the collaboration between Kendrick Lamar and Imagine Dragons. Of the latter, I had absolutely no idea that the drummer played with such bombast and swagger. He's so good at what he does, it makes me wonder why I've never heard him on the singles – why program the drum parts when you have a monster like this backing you up?
Of course, the talk of the town will invariably focus on Macklemore's performance of "Same Love". With thirty three couples–some of them homosexual couples–getting married on stage en masse, how could you not talk about it?
Watching that moment, I felt the scoffing of my father in my head: he's not a homophobic man, but he's a decidedly unsentimental one. A stunt like this would surely earn his raspberries. But the sheer magnitude of what happened on stage soon shut out the paternal voices–with Macklemore's impassioned performance (hearing every word crystal clear, one cannot deny the man has chops), the band's stirring, gospel-inflected playing, and the truly unprecedented nature of what happened, this was one of the few moments billed as "historical" that might actually be just that.
Indeed, I was watching the performance with a former executive at NBC Universal, and even he had to give it up to CBS CBS for having the stones to do something so profoundly loving and accepting as this.

Ashland approves plan for riverboat restaurant
ASHLAND — City Manager Steve Corbitt hopes to have a proposal to bring before the Ashland Board of City Commissioners about a riverboat restaurant at the Port of Ashland in about a month.
The Ashland Board of City Commissioners approved the concept of a riverboat restaurant Thursday night and authorized Corbitt to negotiate with a developer to bring a riverboat that would be docked at the Ashland riverfront and operate a floating restaurant.
"I hope to have something to take back to the commissioners in 30 days," Corbitt. The owner of the 135-foot-long Star of Louisville also is looking to move quickly on the proposal, Corbitt said Friday. If everything goes well, the restaurant could be operational by October, he said.
Corbitt already has forwarded to commissioners a cost estimate of adding 60 parking spaces along the riverfront at a cost of about $216,000 plus an additional cost of $10,000 to extend utilities including water, sewer and electric service to the site. In all it could cost between $250,000 to $300,000 for the project which could bring an estimated 60 jobs to the city.
"I think it's exciting for Ashland to have any development at the riverfront," said Mayor Chuck Charles. "It ties the riverfront to the downtown. It'll be truly healthful for the downtown."
The city could get $57,000 in fees and taxes per year that would cover the city's cost of the project in about five years, Corbitt said.
"We need to discuss docking fees that could run in the thousands," Corbitt said. "I like the proposal. I hope something can be worked out."
The city would need approval from the Huntington District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to moor the boat and an accompanying party barge at the Ashland riverfront, said City Commissioner Kevin Gunderson.

Established in 1981, the J.C. Harrington Award is named in honor of Jean Carl Harrington (1901-1998), one of the pioneer founders of historical archaeology in North America. The award, which consists of an inscribed medal, is presented for a life-time of contributions to the discipline centered on scholarship. No more than one Harrington Medal is presented each year. In January 1982, at The Society for Historical Archaeology annual conference in Philadelphia, a special silver version of the medal was presented to J. C. Harrington when the award was publicly announced. All other Harrington Medals are struck in antique bronze.

The Deetz Award is named for James Deetz (1930-2000), whose books are classics for professional archaeologists as well as for non-specialists. Deetz's accessible and entertaining style of writing gave his books influence beyond the discipline because they are read by a broad audience of non-specialists. The Deetz Award is intended to recognize books and monographs that are similarly well written and accessible to all potential readers.

It's funny. I've heard the original version of "My Cabana" but never knew it was by Ty Dolla $ign. It's weird because Ty Dolla doesn't really have a generic style so I probably should have connected the dots. Either way, he gets Young Jeezy to drop a verse on the remix. Can't deny that Mint Condition sample.

Big step closer toward closing Guantanamo
Obama's order would close Gitmo, prohibit waterboarding, shut down 'black site' prisons
On his second day on the job, President Barack Obama signed executive orders directing the Central Intelligence Agency to shut down its network of secret prisons and ordering the closing of the Guantanamo detention camp within a year.
With this action, Obama started changing how the United States prosecutes and questions al-Qaida, Taliban or other foreign fighters who pose a threat to Americans — and overhauling America's image abroad.
"The message we are sending the world," the president said, "is that the United States intends to prosecute the ongoing struggle against violence and terrorism and we are going to do so vigilantly and we are going to do so effectively and we are going to do so in a manner that is consistent with our values and our ideals."
There should be no question that this is the right decision, that it will go a long way toward removing a black eye the United States has had over Guantanamo for the past seven years.
We can understand why the facility was opened in the circumstances following 9/11. The thorny question facing President Bush then was how to handle "unlawful combatants" in the fight against a stateless enemy in a war with no foreseeable end. The camp at Guantanamo was established as a short-term solution while the administration was trying to define those new rules for a new kind of war.
Guantanamo was to be the place where terrorism suspects — captured mostly in Afghanistan and Pakistan — could be held indefinitely without fussy interference from U.S. courts. Now, from the absolute clarity of hindsight, we know it was a terrible decision.
The primary reason to establish Guantanamo facility was to put the terrorism detainees outside the reach of U.S. courts. What did that convey to the rest of the world? That the detainees were being held in some legal black hole without access to judicial review. But while it gave the U.S. a black eye internationally, it didn't work, since the Supreme Court rejected the argument that Guantanamo was beyond its judicial reach.
Guantanamo undermined U.S. effectiveness in the war against terrorism. In establishing harsh interrogation methods at Guantanamo, and at the CIA's secret prisons in other lands, the administration gave a propaganda gift to the jihadists, who use it to recruit new followers and whip up hatred against the United States.
Further, it was a mistake to suggest that Geneva Convention standards do not apply to terrorism suspects. The perception it created around the world was that the harsh policies were put in place because the detainees were Muslim, whose rights could be ignored. In trying to circumvent the rule of law, to evade Geneva Conventions, to establish harsh interrogation standards that many define as torture, the administration surrendered the moral high ground that we held after the horrors of 9/11.
For all those reasons, Guantanamo should be shut down. We must reclaim that moral ground. It is, as they say, a no-brainer.
Besides closing Guantanamo's detention facility within a year, Obama's s executive order would: create a task force to recommend policies on handling terror suspects in the future; require U.S. personnel to follow the U.S. Army Field Manual while interrogating detainees, which explicitly forbids using the technique of waterboarding; orders the CIA to close all its "black site" prisons around the world to question terror suspects.
No question, this is the right call. But President Obama's decision to close Guantanamo and the CIA's secret prisons in other countries, where "enhanced interrogation" techniques are used, doesn't mean the original questions the Bush administration sought to answer have gone away: How do we create new rules to conduct the war on terror? How do we handle stateless combatants — without uniform and without their own rules — in an ideological war?

|Palm Beach Atlantic University student Victoria Tallarico plays Leonora and Johnny Dymond plays Samuel in The Long Christmas Dinner by Thornton Wilder. Performances are Dec. 1-3 in PBA's Fern Street Theatre.
The Palm Beach Atlantic University Theatre Department will present The Long Christmas Dinner by Thornton Wilder at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 1 and 2 at the Fern Street Theatre, 500 Fern Street, West Palm Beach. On Saturday, Dec. 3, shows will be at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the theatre.
Students will transform the University's Fern Street Theatre into a cozy living room to present this one-act drama that traverses 90 years and represents, in accelerated motion, Christmas dinners for several generations of one American family.
A serious play lightened with humor of character, it vividly describes themes of typical American life, including the development of the countryside, changes in customs and manners and the accumulation of personal possessions.
The performance is directed by Daniel Gordon, professor of theatre. Gordon teaches design and technical theatre classes at PBA and has served as an adjunct instructor. Before coming here, he was the technical director for Palm Beach State College's Eissey Campus Theatre. While at PBSC, he taught classes in stagecraft, scene design and theatre appreciation. He has spent much time on the road touring with such artists as Carol Channing, Rich Little, Rita Moreno, Jerry Lewis and the Royal New Zealand Ballet.
Locally, he has designed for Ballet Florida, the Harid Conservatory, The Burt Reynolds Institute and the International Ballet Festival of Miami, as well as serving as artistic director for the Palm Beach Shakespeare Festival.
Tickets are $15 general admission or two for $25; $10 seniors 65+; and $5 students with ID. For more information, contact Ticket Central at (561) 803-2970 or email@example.com or visit www.pba.edu/performances.

I come from a long line of golfers, I on the other hand do not golf at all. But in some conversations with family members I asked them if they had the chance to enter a pro event and have a shot to play side by side or even in a foursome with Tiger or Phil, or any pro for some money would they? Everyone had the same answer "Hell Yeah!" So my question is why don't more people take advantage of what we have in pool? In what other sport can ANYONE play in a pro event and have a shot to rack for a pro? Sure you may have no shot to even get to 3, but you'd still be doing something that IMO most people would do in any other sport (except maybe football and Boxing LOL) I mean how much would someone pay to get on the field and bat with the Yankees, or play a 5 on 5 game with Shaq and MJ? So the question is why don't more people take advantage of this opportunity? JB

Lobo Baseball (32-16, 12-8)
Games #49-51 at Stanford
Friday, May 8 6:30 p.m. (MDT)
Saturday, May 9 2 p.m. (MDT)
Sunday, May 10 2 p.m. (MDT)
Klein Field at Sunken Diamond Palo Alto, Calif.
Game #52 at St. Mary's
monday, May 11 1 p.m. (MDT)
Louis guisto Field Moraga, Calif.
Live Stats: Links available on GoLobos.com.
Against Stanford (22-19, 10-11 Pac 10): New Mexico and Stanford have met just one time before on the baseball diamond - March 30, 1972, with the Cardinal pulling out a 7-6 win in Palo Alto.
Against St. Mary's (27-23, 8-10 WCC): This will be the first meeting between New Mexico and St. Mary's in baseball. The game was a late addition to the schedule.
Up Next: The Lobos will finish the regular season at Air Force, May 14-16.
Starting at Stanford/St. Mary's ... The Lobos will start senior John Hesketh, freshman Rudy Jaramillo, and junior Ryan Escarcega at Stanford this weekend. Stanford will start freshmen Jordan Pries and Brett Mooneyham and senior Jeffrey Inman. Starters for Monday's game at St. Mary's are yet to be determined.
Step 1 - National Recognition (Check) ... The Lobos are still on the radar of the national college baseball polls, receiving votes in several this week. The Lobos were as high as No. 18 in the March 30 Baseball America poll. In 1985, the last time the Lobos cracked the Top 25 in the Baseball America, they climbed as high as No. 14.
Step 2 ... Win A Conference Championship (Work In Progress) ... Quick Notes About The Lobos (32-16, 12-8 MWC) ... The Lobos are off to one of the best starts in program history at 32-16 ... For the first time since 1985, the University of New Mexico baseball team cracked the national polls on March 23, entering the Baseball America poll at No. 21 ... New Mexico was featured in March 19th's Baseball America Weekend Preview for the Stat of the Week - 1.29 triples per game. A big jump from 0.42 in 2008 ... The starting infield of Kevin Atkinson (1B), Mike Brownstein (2B), Daniel Gonzalez (SS), and Dane Hamilton (3B) started every game in the infield for 38 consecutive games to begin the season. The streak ended on April 17 when Atkinson missed his first game as a Lobo with a hamstring injury, 97 consecutive starts. Brownstein has made 107 consecutive starts as the Lobo second baseman ... UNM played in the friendly confines of Isotopes Park for 25 of its first 30 games of the 2009 season, that included six consecutive weekends ... After April 1, the Lobos will only be in Albuquerque for 6 of their last 26 regular season games ... Head coach Ray Birmingham coached his 100th game as a Lobo on Sunday, April 19.
Step 3 ... Earn Bid To NCAA Tournament (Work In Progress) ... There are several components involved with earning a bid to the NCAA Tournament, something the Lobos are trying to do for the first time since 1962 ... First, wins are important. There isn't a conversation about the NCAAs if the W's are not starting to pile up. UNM is doing well there at 32-16, Top-50 in the nation in winning percentage ... Next, strength of schedule. According to nationally-recognized baseball website, Boydsworld.com, the Lobos were sitting at 90 on the old SOS ranking, with a recent 77 being their highest ranking of the season. The Lobos have non-conference series remaining with Stanford (10) and St. Mary's (47) ... And don't forget about that pesky RPI ranking. The NCAA's official RPI on May 5 has the Lobos sitting at 77. Boyd's World continues to be one of the closest RPI to what the NCAA will release. Going into Tuesday, May 5, the Lobos are sitting at 77 after being as high as 28 going into the Northwestern series.
Injuries Of Note ... Three Lobos have been moved to the unable to play list. Senior third baseman Dane Hamilton is day-to-day for a thumb injury that occurred during the Nebraska game on Tuesday, April 28. Starter Travis Dirk has been sidelined for the remainder of the season with an elbow injury, while reserve infielder Dan Hayduk had shoulder surgery in mid-April and will miss the rest of the season.
Jaramillo Throws First Complete Game of the Season ... True freshman Rudy Jaramillo threw the first Lobo complete game of the season on Friday, May 1, earning a come-from-behind 8-4 win over UNLV at Isotopes Park. He did not allow a walk and tied his season-high of 6 strikeouts in the nine-inning outing to improve to 3-0 on the season.
Jaramillo made the first start of his collegiate career on Saturday, April 11 at Utah. The lefty from Marcos de Niza High School in Chandler, Ariz., ended up with a no decision, but threw a solid six innings, striking out six and giving up just two runs on five hits. Jaramillo earned his first win in relief on March 1 vs. Northern Colorado (10-8). He picked up his second win of the season on March 17 against No. 3 Texas A&M in relief (10-6). It was the first time a true freshman has started a game in the Ray Birmingham era. The last true freshman to start on the mound for the Lobos was Shane Dyer on May 25, 2007 vs. UNLV in the Mountain West Conference Tournament.
Jaramillo carries a 3.86 ERA in 14 appearances with three starts. Jaramillo was the pitcher of record when the third BYU game in Provo was called.
Relief You Can Count On ... sounds like an upset stomach or pain relief commercial. The Lobo bullpen has had its ups and downs throughout the season.
Junior Cole White leads UNM and the MWC with 24 appearances and was the last Lobo holding onto a 0.00 ERA. The junior from Blossom, Texas, gave up his first earned runs of the season on April 1 on his way to his third save in three attempts in a five-game span. White now holds an 2.06 ERA in 35.0 innings of work, giving up 17 hits and 24 walks, while striking out 41, second on the UNM staff. He picked up his first two saves of the season in the BYU series. White earned his second win of the season and his fourth save in the Utah series. His third win of the season was a 6-5 victory against No. 15 San Diego State on April 19.
Seniors Daniel Grubbs and Clinton Cox have six of the Lobos' other seven saves. Grubbs, from Reno, Nev., holds a 2.86 ERA with a 2-1 record and a save. He has only walked 9 batters and struck out 22 in 22.0 innings. Cox, a candidate for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award and the NCBWA Stopper of the Year Award, leads the team with 5 saves in 19 appearances.
Freshman Gabe Aguilar is staying among the leaders of the pitching staff with a 2.08 ERA in 15 appearances. Aguilar, a lefty from Socorro High School in El Paso, Texas, picked up two wins in relief appearances at Texas Tech (Feb. 24; 13-10) and against Northern Colorado (Feb. 28; 13-5).
Patience Is A Virtue ... and it pays at the plate. The Lobos have five players with over 20 free passes this season. Senior Mike Brownstein leads the way with 33 free trips to first base, 30 walks and 3 hit by pitch. Sophomore Rafael Neda is close behind with 32 on 24 walks and 7 hit by pitch. Junior Max Willett has 27 with 20 walks and 7 hit by pitch, while sophomore Ryan Honeycutt has 25, 20 walks and 5 hit by pitch.
Senior Dane Hamilton was leading the pack until a thumb injury sidelined him at Nebraska. Hamilton has had 29 free passes by virtue of 18 walks, a new career season-high, and 11 hit by pitch this season. Hamilton's season-high for walks in his three previous years as a Lobo was 14 in 2008 and his career total was 33 coming into the 2009 season. Prior to this season, he had only been hit by a pitch four times in his Lobo career.
10 Or Better ... Well UNM picked up right where they left off in 2008. Lobo fans are watching the scoreboard, not just for the score, but for the hits column as well. Why? In the Ray Birmingham era, UNM is 59-16 when they get at least 10 hits in a game. Just 7-25 when they don't get to 10. The Lobos' season-high is 31 against Binghamton in the first game of the March 7 doubleheader. The 2008 game-high was 28 hits against Air Force on April 12, 2008 in Farmington. If the Lobos also reach 10 runs in a 10+ hits game, they are 35-4.
Leftymania ... The Lobos left-handed pitchers are having a field day starting and coming in from the bullpen. The sextet of Gabe Aguilar (Fr.), Bobby Moore (Sr.), Kenny Toves (So.), John Hesketh (Sr.), Jason Oatman (Jr.), and Rudy Jaramillo (Fr.) are a combined 20-7 with 28 starts and a 4.71 ERA. They have 160 strikeouts and 79 walks in 85 appearances.
Triple-palooza ... It is a triple-fest for the Lobos this season. During the first weekend of action, UNM posted 11 in the first four games of the season against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Two weeks later, UNM added 10 triples in the four-game series against Binghamton. The Lobos currently have 42 triples on the season. The UNM record for team triples in a season is 62 in 1980. Keith Hagman holds the UNM individual record of 17 in 1980, which is also an NCAA record. Currently, Mike Brownstein leads the Lobos and the nation with 11. Brian Cavazos-Galvez and Dane Hamilton are second in the nation with seven each. All three have hit two in a game once this season, tying the school record for triples in a game.
Hesketh Becomes Weekend Mainstay ... John Hesketh has made a start in every weekend series for the Lobos in 2009. Until the Utah series, Hesketh was starting the first game of every series. Hesketh threw the second game of the Utah series, a Friday night start, after throwing 147 pitches against TCU the previous weekend. The senior from British Columbia threw his longest outing as a Lobo on March 6 vs. Binghamton, 8 innings for a 15-3 win. On March 26 vs. BYU, Hesketh struck out a career-high 9 batters. Hesketh is tops in the league with 12 starts and is among the league leaders with 5 wins and a 3.31 ERA. He is second in the league in strikeouts with 62.

The Brewers survived a late fightback by away-day experts Exeter to record a 4-2 win that lifted them into third place in the League Two table.
But it was not all praise for Gary Rowett's men as assistant boss Kevin Summerfield accused them of a "lacksadaisical" approach.
The Burton number two said: "I think there was a danger we might get carried away after the 4-0 win at Fleetwood.
"I think it showed because we were a little bit lacksadaisical and, despite being three up at half-time, Gary and I weren't that happy.
"We did manage to raise the tempo a little bit in the second half, but over the 90 minutes I don't think we were as good as we have been over the last three or four weeks."

In the rushing attack, the Falcons welcomed back running back Jordan Sawyers, who rushed for 40 yards on 11 carries in his first game back since going down with an injury in Week One.
Tyler Holden added a dozen yards on the ground, while Butner rushed for six yards on his only carry.
Defensively, Parks led the way with 11 total tackles, while Cody Shrewsbury and Zack Ragsdale added nine and eight tackles, respectively.
