Looking back on it now, Disney's 2000 film
Over at his VonShollyWood blog, artist Pete Von Sholly has shared some of the unused concept art he had created for Dinosaur during its early development. The illustrations are stunning, from a mosasaur gulping down a meal to a lemur trying to ride a Pachyrhinosaurus, but most of the drawings will not be familiar to those who saw the film. If Von Sholly's concept art had been translated to the screen it may have resulted in a very different film, indeed.
And Von Sholly was not the only talented paleo-artist working on the picture. According to one of his posts;
Think about this: we had me (blush), Mark Hallet, Dave Krentz, Doug Henderson, Ricardo Delgado, Brian Franczak, Thom Enriquez, Bob Bakker, William Stout and a host of others working on this thing. Tell me that shouldn't have added up to the ultimate dinosaur movie!It is sad that the finished film did not do justice to the talent of the people behind it, and even sadder that no book of concept art was ever released in conjunction with the movie. I am sure any paleo fan would drool at the prospect of seeing the concept art for this film from some of the best dinosaur illustrators in the business. It is probably far too late to pull together such a volume now, but in case anyone over at Disney is listening, I know a lot of dinosaur fans who would be overjoyed to have such a volume produced.

A man who wears thong underwear and a cape while riding his scooter through Wisconsin's capital city may be a strange sight. But police say he isn't breaking any laws.
Earlier this month, staff at John F. Kennedy Elementary School in Madison called authorities after the man rode by in his unmentionables while students were walking to a bus.
Police spokesman Joel DeSpain tells the Wisconsin State Journal that a sergeant had a chat with the person police call Thong Cape Scooter Man. He admitted he used poor judgment in going past the school but said he did it unintentionally.
The city attorney told police the man broke no laws.
So it seems Thong Cape Scooter Man is free to ride on.

We were told not to try to speak to Ben Gurion, but when I saw him, I asked why, since Israel is a democracy with a parliament, does it not have a constitution? Ben Gurion said, "Look, boy"-I was 24 at the time-"if we have a constitution, we have to write in it the border of our country. And this is not our border, my dear." I asked, "Then where is the border?" He said, "Wherever the Sahal will come, this is the border." Sahal is the Israeli army.

You are being uncharitable to Rosner. He doesn't say that American Jews have a duty to publicly support Israel. Rather, he claims that American Jews can best help Israel by publicly supporting her.

There is nothing wrong with an American Jew wanting to help Israel. There is nothing wrong with her wanting to know how best to do so. Rosner is telling us what he thinks is the best way to help Israel. This does not mean that he thinks that American Jews have a duty to do so.

Johann Hari says,

But most of Palestine was not empty. It was already inhabited by people who loved the land, and saw it as theirs. They were completely innocent of the long, hellish crimes against the Jews.

If he's referring to the nineteenth century, then this is controversial since the demography of the Ottoman Empire has not been described with any accuracy even today. Of course, I'm referring to the places where the Jews settled, which was more or less the land that was allotted to them under the UN partition plan and not the West Bank. On the other hand, before the Jews got there, Palestine was an insalubrious hell-hole. The Jews established the first newspapers, symphony orchestras, theaters, etc etc along with a growing economy. This attracted Arabs from outside Palestine for the opportunities. They were Arabs but not "Palestinian." Indeed, there was no "Palestinian" nationality at all back then—there was hardly an "Arab" nationalism outside the city elites.

The Arabs were indeed innocent of the crimes committed against Jews in Europeby Christians since the Middle Ages. They had committed their own crimes in the Middle East. Jews could live there, and in many cases thrive, but they were subject to apartheit-like Islamic laws and random persecution. Not as bad as the Christians, but still it was not "innocence."

In the twentieth century, the situation changed. For example, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem incited riots and massacres against Jews from the 1920s and he lived in Berlin as a protégé of Hitler during WWII as the director of a Nazi radio station beaming anti Semitic propaganda back to the Arab/Muslim world. He was indicted as a war criminal at the Nuremberg trials for organizing death squads to hunt down Jews in Yugoslavia. He escaped to Egypt with the help of the French (figures!), along with many Nazi war criminals, where they were welcomed and given jobs in the government and security services under Nasser.

When it became clear these Palestinians would not welcome becoming a minority in somebody else's country, darker plans were drawn up. Israel's first Prime Minister, David Ben Gurion, wrote in 1937: "The Arabs will have to go, but one needs an opportune moment for making it happen, such as a war." So, for when the moment arrived, he helped draw up Plan Dalit. It was – as Israeli historian Ilan Pappe puts it – "a detailed description of the methods to be used to forcibly evict the people: large scale intimidation; and laying siege to and bombarding population centres." In 1948, before the Arab armies invaded, this began to be implemented: some 800,000 people were ethnically cleansed, and Israel was built on the ruins.

Calling the Palestinians a "minority in someone else's country" is a fallacy. There were no "Palestinians." There were only "Arabs." The "country" Hari refers to was today's Jordan. Palestine was partitioned from Jordan by the British.

Ben Gurion was not Prime Minister in 1937. He later recanted the words Hari quotes. These words are always quoted by Palestinians but they're essentially meaningless since they did not represent anything like a policy of the state of Israel, which didn't exist when ben Gurion spoke them. They may show the attitude of the "hard-line" Israelis, but we have already established that this is a minority and in no way do they show the policies of the state of Israel.

In 1948, before the Arab armies invaded, the Arabs living in the British mandate territories (the Palestinians) began a guerilla war against Jews. It wasn't a peaceful place before the invasion, like Hari implies. It's true that ethnic cleansing did take place, but this does not account for all of the 800 thousand refugees. This is still a controversial topic for historians, but Hari should read Benny Morris, The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem. Morris is also a "left-wing" Israeli critic. It's a thousand-page book that can't be summarized easily, least of all by such blithe statements as Hari's.

There were also 800 thousand Jewish refugees from countries in the Middle East as a result of ethnic cleansing. The Jewish community of Iraq was wiped out. It had been the center of Jewish live for centuries—even before the Islamic conquests.

The so-called right of return that Hari hypes is probably the only thing that Israelis and Palestinians agree on: it will destroy the Jewish state. There are some five million so-called refugees today, not the three million that Hari says. Israel has seven million people, of whom two million are Arabs.

Moreover, there is no such thing as the "right of return." There were many millions of refugees in the world in the aftermath of WWII, of whom 800 thousand were Palestinian Arabs and another 800 thousand were Arab Jews. The only group still claiming refugee status after sixty years is the Palestinian Arabs. The rest were absorbed into whatever country they went to without much fanfare. The same could have happened to the Palestinian Arabs if the other Arab nations had wanted to do it. But they didn't because they couldn't and can't accept a state in their midst run by "inferior" Jews.

None of the relevant UN Resolutions mention anything like a "right of return." They call for a "just solution" for the refugee problem. This was offered to the Palestinians in 2000 in Clinton's Camp David fiasco and it was refused. It included receiving the 300 thousand Palestinian refugees that Hari mentions, plus some kind of reparations for the rest. Like every other right we have today, if the Palestinians want it, they have to fight for it, which is what they're doing. They're still losing. It's not helpful for others to be demanding the right for them, even if they imagine themselves to be humanitarian, like Hari does.

The analogy Hari makes with England and the Kurds is just silly. It's false. The Jews never sent any armies to Palestine. They went with the permission of the Ottoman authorities, who thought that European Jews would create development in the hell-hole that Palestine had become and they were right about that. They bought the land from its owners, who were feudal landlords living in Beirut and Istanbul. They evicted their ex-serfs, not the Jews. The Israeli army only existed after 1948, although a self-defense force did exist beginning in the 1920s. This was part of the allied forces in WWII.Roque Nuevohttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902617359729115650.post-42936939340200980622008-12-12T10:35:00.000-05:002008-12-12T10:35:00.000-05:00basicFunction:adjectiveText:of or relating to the ...basic

You said they were "basic reading." That means "expertise."

You claim that people who criticize Israel and/or the Israeli "hard liners" are derided as cranks or accused of anti Semitism; I'm saying that that's false. Therefore, it's you who claim "something doesn't happen, when it's a very simple, banal fact of the discussion."

You claim that Zionism (to the "hard line"?) means no Palestinians in Palestine whatsoever. I said that this was false and asked for some examples of anyone outside the fringe skin-heads who believe that, which you don't give. Again, you're claiming "something doesn't happen, when it's a very simple, banal fact of the discussion."

You say people are derided as a cranks, written out of the conversation, or accused of anti Semitism etc etc all the time for criticizing the "hawkish right" by people such as "Abe Foxman or Leon Wieseltier or Ron Rosenbaum or Alan Dershowitz or the Pollacks or whoever." I say that's false and asked you for examples, which you can't do. Therefore, once again, you're claiming "something doesn't happen, when it's a very simple, banal fact of the discussion."

People find a niche. Christopher Hitchens has one goal in everything he writes; he is creating the persona that is Christopher Hitchens. Mickey Kaus claims moderate Democrat identity and supports conservative Republican positions. Ezra Klein does earnest health care policy and flashes those dreamy eyes.'

Or it might be a result of your seeing writers you read as brands. Any vaguely consistent set of views and enthusiasms can be called a brand; the question is one of intention, which can only be guessed.

This is too shallow. I might reply that Hitchens is not 'creating the persona' of 'Hitchens': he is Hitchens. Kaus is a liberal with contrarian ideas about specific policy fields (way to build a brand, Kaus!). Klein is a bitesize Yglesias, jazzed rather by health than transport. And they all present nondiffuse personalities in their writing, because they have personalities.

(Perhaps you are just saying that one feature of successful writing is that it presents consistently such a consistent personality, which may or may not be the writer's. Thereby people get to know a writer, know and trust the hand that threw the bottle with the message inside.)

But brand-building? If one of them failed day by day to agree with himself, whether out of honesty pedantry or clumsiness, he would just become known as the Contradictory Pundit, the notorious 'guy who can't decide', building cynically his self-revising brand.BPhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902617359729115650.post-83933612894717696112008-12-11T22:22:00.000-05:002008-12-11T22:22:00.000-05:00I'm not making a claim to expertise.

Any criticism of the pro-Israeli hardline becomes in short order an attack on the person making the criticism, as you can bet with unerring certainty that they will be accused of making that criticism because they are anti-Semitic." But you and just about everyone else, aside from a small minority, criticize the "hard-line" Israelis. Even the democratically-elected government of Israel does it—last week they used police power to remove some of the West Bank settlements. Nobody has been derided as a crank or called anti Semitic for criticizing these fanatics.

The "hawkish right-wing" Israelis are those who deny the Palestinian right to statehood and want to annex the West Bank. You said that their critics are derided as cranks and accused of anti Semitism "all the time, whether it's Abe Foxman or Leon Wieseltier or Ron Rosenbaum or Alan Dershowitz or the Pollacks or whoever."

OK, Mr Expert on the "American Conversation," give me some examples of the above: people who have been derided etc etc for criticizing the fanatics. Shouldn't be hard for you, as an expert on the American Conversation, especially since this happens "all the time.

Give some examples of people who believe that" Zionism means no Palestinians in Palestine whatsoever." You won't find anyone serious to promote such an idea, although there may have been a few during the '48-'49 war and again after the "miracle" of the '67 war. But this is long-gone by now. So, again, you're taking a brave stand against people who have already died or retracted. This includes Ariel Sharon, who is still not dead.

Joe Klein or Mickey Kaus or Matt Yglesias or Glenn Greenwald are not "basic reading" on the Palestine/Israel question. Saying so just reveals your ignorance: that you get what you imagine to be knowledge from people who just retail opinions. They might have worthwhile opinions nevertheless, but reading them is no substitute for acquiring knowledge yourself. Send me an email and I'll be glad to make a reading-list for you.

Now that you're bringing this down to name-calling (jackass), I want to remind you that you're promoting yourself as an expert, not me.

So you've backed down quite a bit here. Were you taking pot shots at the "hawkish Israeli right" all along and I didn't notice? If so, why is this such a controversial position to take? You even say that millions of Israelis share your opinion.

This is an entirely banal point about discussions of Israel: there is far more robust criticism of Israel within Israel than in America. Which you would know, if you actually had any education about this subject at all. The hawkish right on the issue of Israel and I disagree on what the Zionist project entails. I'm disagreeing with their definition of the Zionist project, and with their tactics.

First you say that ardent supporters of "the Israeli project" often try to silence criticism of Israel. But then you say that the "project" is a prosperous country etc etc and this is not exclusive to the "hawkish right."

Part of the point here is that those who take on the mantel of ardent supporters of Israel aren't, in fact, doing the country any favors. I'm criticizing them for what they think is the right thing to do for Israel, and for how they go about rhetorically accomplishing that. There's no contradiction whatsoever in doing that and also supporting Israel peace and prosperity.

Who but a crank or an anti Semite would criticize this "project?

You can, in fact, disagree with the project of Zionism and not be motivated by anti-Jewish hatred. And, again, it matters what you define the Zionist enterprise to be. If Zionism means a stable and prosperous Israel, I support it. If Zionism means no Palestinians in Palestine whatsoever, as some believe, then I don't. See?

Who is ever derided as a crank, written out of the conversation, or accused of anti Semitism etc etc for criticizing the "hawkish right?

This is simple ignorance, and it's made worse by your acting like your ignorance is a stain on someone else's argument. It happens all the time, whether it's Abe Foxman or Leon Wieseltier or Ron Rosenbaum or Alan Dershowitz or the Pollacks or whoever. All the time. Which you would know, if you did even basic reading on the subject. You could read Joe Klein or Mickey Kaus or Matt Yglesias or Glenn Greenwald or any host of people.

I really think, Roque, that you're a perfect example of "modern American jackassery", someone thinking that they are perfectly qualified to render opinions on a subject they no nothing about. You're lacking even basic understanding about the American conversation on Israel, and accusing me of not making sense.

The project is not exclusive of the hawkish right; but I don't think that the prosperity and security of Israel is best supported by the hawkish right. That's just my opinion, one that happens to be shared by many, many Israelis, and as it happens, Shmuel Rosner and Jeff Goldberg.

The Zionist project as I understand and support it is a project to build and maintain a homeland for Jews where they can practice their religion and culture free from oppression or violence. As I am a democrat, I believe that the state should not have an explicitly religious character itself, though that's something of a philosophical distinction. I have always supported the Zionist project by this definition, I have been consistent and vocal in that fact, and I feel no particular need to appease you or anyone else on the subject.

The project is not exclusive of the hawkish right; but I don't think that the prosperity and security of Israel is best supported by the hawkish right. That's just my opinion, one that happens to be shared by many, many Israelis, and as it happens, Shmuel Rosner and Jeff Goldberg.

As far as whether it's imperative that Arabs criticize failed Arab policies, of course, but let's be clear: not all Arabs are Palestinians, and taking Palestinians to task for the misdeeds of all Arabs is bigoted and wrong. What's more, the fact that Israel is a robust, functioning democracy is precisely why Israeli sentiment matters so much. Israel has the capacity for positive change through debate, in a way that is sadly lacking in many parts of the Arab world.Freddiehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902617359729115650.post-44218146779610703362008-12-11T16:31:00.000-05:002008-12-11T16:31:00.000-05:00Exactly. If so many Israelis favor a two-state so...Exactly. If so many Israelis favor a two-state solution than it must be only the hard-liners who don't. There are problems with the settlements, and denying that is just obsequiousness to a long line of failed policies. Also, critical is not the same as "anti". The best criticism I get is from my peers, not my enemies.

I believe in the State of Israel, but I also think that continued settlement in the West Bank is a disastrous policy. I don't agree with Freddie's use of the term "Israeli project" in negative terms, however. Israel, as a project, still has my support and admiration.E.D. Kainhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902617359729115650.post-22909239973921561582008-12-11T16:16:00.000-05:002008-12-11T16:16:00.000-05:00When suggested by someone perceived as an enemy of...When suggested by someone perceived as an enemy of the Israeli project (which simply means anyone not in line with the most radically hawkish Israeli right), that is commonly referred to as "dual loyalty", and suggesting that any Jews whatsoever feel it or have it is a blood libel, demonstrating the shrieking anti-Semitism of the person making the suggestion.

Now you say that the "Israeli project" means "creating a prosperous and democratic state that offers security to Jews anywhere."

So—explain how this "project" is exclusive of the most hawkish Israeli right etc etc. Explain how would you refer to enemies of this project. If people call them "anti Semites," I'll understand why. Moreover, I wouldn't have any alternative label. Do you?Roque Nuevohttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902617359729115650.post-54311483351050597502008-12-11T16:04:00.000-05:002008-12-11T16:04:00.000-05:00E.D.

Then again, the terrorists aren't helping much either. We have the hard-liners on both sides causing this inertia in the peace process.

What's a "hard-liner?" The two-state solution is now the "international consensus," which includes Israel and the US as well. But it doesn't include the Arabs. So, to "pave the way to peace" we need the Arab and Muslim states to recognize Israel, etc etc. If fact, the two-state solution has been accepted in theory by the US, Israel, and the UN since the '47 partition. Back then there was no Palestinian people. There were just Arabs. But the the UN partition granted them at least twice as much land as they can ever get now and the Arabs said "no" and invaded Israel to "push it into the sea," as the expression was back then. After the war, what was stopping them for founding a state on the West Bank/Gaza? What was stopping Egypt and Jordan from annexing the land and giving the refugees the security of citizenship, even if it's only Egyptian or Jordanian citizenship.

Today, "More than half of Palestinians reject a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian crisis, reports a poll by An-Najah National University." On the other hand, "74% of Israelis favor a two state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to a recent poll by Market Watch."

"57.4 % of the Palestinians support the halt of the suicide bombings inside Israel" according to the Palestinian Center For Public Opinion.

You think it's "imperative on American Jews to be critical of failed Israeli policies." This lowly blog debate is evidence that American Jews' criticisms. But why isn't it also imperative on American Arabs and Muslims to be critical of failed Arab policies, like opposition to Israel's existence and sixty-some-odd years of war and suicide murders that have yielded them nothing but more war.Roque Nuevohttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902617359729115650.post-58476719464000886242008-12-11T15:55:00.000-05:002008-12-11T15:55:00.000-05:00Would it be creating a prosperous and democratic s...Would it be creating a prosperous and democratic state that offers security to Jews anywhere

Whether you agree with them on not, they've paid their dues and don't write about what other bloggers write about what they write about and vice versa. You should save this kind of stuff for private conversations instead of revealing you small-mindedness to the world.

Your post lacks a beginning, an end, and a middle. It's a jumble of poorly-understood so-called ideas.

For example, I have no idea what on earth you can mean by the "Israeli project." Would that be uniting the lands between the Mediterranean and the Euphrates under Jewish domination? Would it be survival in the face of war declared against it by twenty Arab/Muslim countries? Would it be creating a prosperous and democratic state that offers security to Jews anywhere? After all, if the Jews had had an army like they do today, then goys like you wouldn't have been able to persecute them for centuries.

Israel is our ally. We also have alliances with GB, Australia, and others that can be called "strategic," where "a combination of the economic, military, diplomatic and intelligence benefits" is national policy. Given the threats Israel faces, it's only natural that we give them military aid. Israel's enemies have their own resources in their war to exterminate Israel. Even so, the PLO was the beneficiary of Soviet aid and so was Syria and Nasser's Egypt back in the 50s-60s. This is about a tiny nation whose existence is attacked by the most oil-rich nations on earth. Surely your sense of fair-play would justify helping Israel to level the playing field.

These contradictions you see in Goldberg and others don't exist. They criticize Israel. They support Israel. Nothing there that needs extensive interpretation by you. You should know that the "dual loyalty" charge is not about people feeling affinity for another country and having conflicted thoughts when these have conflicting policies. It's about the denunciations of the "Israel lobby's" preponderant influence over US policy, and at the more extreme, it's about denouncing the ZOG.

How, exactly, do "ardent supporters" of Israel silence criticism? If those critics are denouncing the ZOG/"Israel lobby," then they deserve to be derided as cranks and probably accused of anti Semitism. If they don't, then nobody tries to silence them, least of all "ardent supporters" of Israel because, as you note (without really thinking about it) they will have a lot of criticisms and disagreements amongst themselves.

Anyone can criticize anything—it's a free world. But if the criticisms lack any basis in fact or logic, the the critics deserve what they get: in your case, derision.Roque Nuevohttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

Arizona Cardinals
Second-year guard Earl Watford 'ready' to be a starter for the Arizona Cardinals
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Earl Watford patiently took in his rookie season from the sidelines.
He sat diligently through film sessions. He sought out guidance from veteran linemen and coaches. And most of all, he never complained about his role, or lack thereof.
Unlike the other highly-touted guard drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2013 NFL Draft, No. 7 overall pick Jonathan Cooper, Watford's absence from meaningful competition wasn't due to a season-ending injury.
In the fourth-round selection's case, he simply wasn't ready for the responsibility.
"For me, it was a process on the field," said Watford, who started 36 of the 47 games he played at James Madison. "Not that I didn't know it, but it just kind of takes time and experience [to play]. You have to get repetitions and learn from all the guys around you.
"It sucked not playing last year, but at the same time I got to see and I got to learn more. I take it as a plus for myself."
What he saw was a right guard in Paul Fanaika, who day in and day out fought to hold down his starting spot for all 16 games.
While the former Arizona State standout was by no means a proven vet before the 2013 campaign, Watford admitted that he gravitated toward Fanaika for off-field mentoring.
"He's definitely given me advice," said Watford. "He's been helpful all the way through, whether he sees something I'm doing or I see something he's doing, that's just the relationship we have."
It's a relationship that may be taking on a bit of twist this offseason.
As is the case with the Cardinals' right tackle position, the competition for the starting right guard spot is very much up for grabs.
Although the incumbent, Fanaika, has a year of experience under his belt as a starter, his challenger is more than confident that his time to play in the league should begin now.
"I am ready," said Watford. "Every day I have to build on what I know and keep building and just keep getting better. I'm trying to put myself in a position where I can be the starter.
"I'm trying to earn it, because you don't get handed anything -- whether you're drafted or not. They're just trying to put the best players out there that can help them win a Super Bowl."
In terms of familiarity, Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians candidly noted that the latter, Fanaika, certainly has the benefit of the doubt with the coaching staff.
However, Arians said he plans to evaluate Watford in much the same vein as unproven right tackle Bobby Massie.
"It's consistency," said Arians. "You can play physical, but you can't make mental errors. You see all the gaps, blitzes and stunts. That's where your eyes are supposed to be all the time.
"It's about making no mental errors and staying off the sheet."
To stay off that sheet, the former two-time All-CAA member revealed that he simply needs to bring the same attitude to work all the time.
"You have to be ready every day," said Watford. "You have to bring it every day. You have to keep getting better, because there is always more to know and more to learn and gain.
"I have to do the right thing. You got to know the defense and know the offense. You have to show up every day, compete, keep fighting and at the end of the day it will take care of itself."

Are Women Hypocrites Concerning Looks?
bill had the spiritNow Bill attends these services, primarily for the inspirational and spiritual benefits that he derives. But naturally, he's not oblivious to the potential there for meeting women.
The thing is, however, that even though he's been a member of the congregation for over a year and a half, he has never gone out on a date with one woman that he's met at his church.
He's had nice conversations with several women there that he's gotten to know over time, but he's never gotten any romantic buying signals from any of them.
then lance came alongOne day, not too long ago, Bill brought his friend Lance to church with him. Lance, who had never been there before, is about 6'2" with long, thick hair down to his shoulders. He looks like a Viking king who now earns his living doing Calvin Klein underwear advertisements.
After the service that day, Bill asked Lance if he enjoyed his experience there. Lance said to Bill, "Yeah, the minister is great and I loved the music. But what's with the women here? They're so aggressive! I've been hit on three times since I got here. One girl wouldn't let me go until I wrote down her phone number!"
Yes, Lance was complaining. Moments later, one of the real beauties of the congregation who had never even smiled at Bill once since he'd been going there, walked right up to Lance and said, "Hi! Are you new here?" As you might imagine, Bill's mouth dropped open in disbelief.
that's how it feelsSo, Kenneth, both you and Bill had similar experiences, and both of you had similar responses to it: utter shock. Why? Because the behavior of these women was completely contrary to the values that the sisterhood of womenfolk espouses.
When asked about what qualities are most important in a potential mate, most women will tell you that a sense of humor and intelligence are at the top of the list. And according to the majority of women, it's men who care most about how a woman looks and least about her personality.
But as every good student of "The System" knows; in order to get to the truth, we look at people's actions primarily, rather than their words. And in this case, here's the obvious conclusion that we must arrive at: Women are motivated by looks just as much as men are, regardless of what they say.
They overlook personality in favor of physical appearance, exactly as men do. Women's shaming of men for being looks-obsessed is a bunch of hypocritical hogwash.
what does the average ken do?All right, Kenneth, so how does an average-looking guy deal with all this? Yes, it's easy to feel bitter and frustrated. It's easy to feel resentful, but none of that is helpful.
If you, Kenneth, had the face and body of Bill's friend Lance, then you'd have legions of beautiful women coming after you. But you don't , and you will never get the kind of attention from women that Lance does.
That's reality, so don't fight it. You are who you are and you have to work with the cards that God dealt you.
put the pic backIf you're going to continue using Internet dating services as a resource for meeting women, then you should, of course, put your own real photo back with your profile.
Have some of your friends and family give you some objective feedback about the picture that you were using. Does it represent you at your best, or is it of poor quality?
It's always best to have a professional shoot your photo for you. With a better photo of yourself, you may start getting a measurably improved response rate.
If changing your photo doesn't help, then the Internet just ain't your niche. You have to find your niche . It may be Sierra Club hikes, dance classes or psychic fairs where the women outnumber men five to one. Just keep swinging, Kenneth, till you get a hit.
Remember guys; you have do the best you can with what you've got.

As Press staff writer Jennifer Sprouse reported last week, students at Sullivan Central High School know how to lend more than a helping hand to a classmate. Some students have decided to shave their heads in a show of support for Nicholas Shortridge, a sophomore who is battling cancer.
Because chemotherapy treatments had taken his hair, his classmates thought shaving theirs would be the natural way of showing solidarity for Shortridge. In addition to the radical haircuts, many Sullivan Central students have contributed to a fund to help Shortridge's family with medical expenses.
As a result, students and the local community have combined to raise more than $1,200.
Shortridge's classmates are among the many Unsung Heroes in our community who make a major difference in the lives of others with small and large acts of kindness.
They are our friends and neighbors who volunteer to deliver hot meals to the homebound or provide transportation to seniors who need to get to a doctor's appointment.
Others work with children in after-school programs or do clerical work for community service organizations.
We want to hear about other Unsung Heroes, and we need your help to tell their stories. Please send us whatever information you can about these individuals to Mailbag, P.O. Box 1717, Johnson City, TN 37605-1717, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
You also can pass along information about Unsung Heroes by calling Opinion Page Editor Robert Houk at 722-0535.

Ice Beams are fair game in snowball fights.
Check out Dedede's "halo."
I'm sort of experimenting with some different coloring techniques. This semi-sloppy shading look is meant to give a simpler feel to the comic (since that's how it started out).
Also, while I love the Metroid series, I don't find Samus particularly fun to draw or color. That's the main reason why she's taken so long to show up. She still doesn't look quite right. But you know what?
You can just deal with it.

November 8, 1994
Early in his solo career, Sting defined himself as a man of taste, choosing to work with jazz musicians instead of rockers. Inevitably, this meant he walked the thin line between sophisticated pop and adult contemporary, but he did it with grace from 1985's Dream of the Blue Turtles to 1993's Ten Summoner's Tales. Unfortunately, Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting doesn't illustrate what a deft trick he pulled off with that quartet of albums. Naturally, Fields of Gold concentrates on his hit singles, just like any other greatest-hits collection, but Sting's material sounds surprisingly tame in this context. Sure, there is a number of great songs here -- enough to state his case as a fine songwriter or to satisfy his casual fans. Still, these songs are safe choices and all share a similarly tranquil quality, which means the collection itself becomes a little monotonous. Nevertheless, Fields of Gold performs the necessary service of rounding up all of the big hits -- "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free," "All This Time," "Fortress Around Your Heart," "They Dance Alone," "If Ever Lose My Faith in You," "Fragile," and an alternate version of "We'll Be Together" -- and offering them on one disc, which is reason enough to make it worthwhile, even with its flaws.

2010 Men's Volleyball Recap
- Release Date:
- May 5, 2010
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
2010 Season Review: The Hilbert College men's volleyball team had the most successful campaign to date since joining the North East Collegiate Volleyball Association (NECVA) seven years ago. Program victories against opponents who consistently dominated the Hawks in previous seasons were on-court high-lights for third year head coach Andy Walker. But, it was the off-the-court academic dedication his team displayed this season which draws as much praise from Walker. With continued dedication by the returning student-athletes and an infusion of future talent, the Hawks will continue to grow and be competitive on the court.
The royal and white started their 2010 season off hosting 6 matches at the Hafner Recreation Center in early January. After an opening weekend against the College Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and Medaille College, the team then had to wait 12 days before their next match on January 22nd. The Hawks went 4 – 12 in that 4 match-weekend, but during that time frame, the home team grabbed a set from D'Youville College (30-28) and 2 sets from SUNYIT (30-16, 30-27) which had never happened in any of the previous six seasons. After a quick trip to the 2-day SUNYIT tournament at the end of January, the Hawks returned to campus having picked up their first win of the season over Regis College in a 3 straight set victory. Medaille College was not prepared for the new and improved Hawks when Hilbert grabbed their first game victory from the Mavericks in set two (30-18). The Hawks then forced the visitors to refocus for their next two sets (18-30, 22-30) to earn the win. While the team traveled to the Endicott 12- team tournament in Boston, MA, they faced some tough competition yet still picked up their second win of the season (5-set match over SUNYIT) and went 4-11. The only Western Division rival in the NECVA which Hilbert couldn't crack was Nazareth College, the eventual 2010 NECVA champion.
Every player on the roster this winter contributed in their own special way to make this team click. The offensive leader was clearly 6'3 junior Dan Wolfe (Irondequoit, NY/Irondequoit). The outside hitter led the team in kills (224) and digs (218) and finished his third season ranked #9 in NCAA with 3.26 digs per game. Wolfe was named to the Honorable Mention tournament team at the Endicott Tourney in February. Working alongside of Wolfe was another junior Richard James (RJ) Sykora (Stow, OH/Munroe Falls) who became as much the vocal leader as the floor general. Sykora was a consistent player finishing second in team kills (180), tied for first in service aces (28), second in digs and nationally ranked #17 in digs per game (2.88). Junior Eric Davies was another net minder and having played his second season of competitive volleyball, he continued to develop his timing at the net with each game. Davies (Tonawanda, NY/Tonawanda) lead the group with 37 total blocks (14 solo and 23 assisted), and was third on the team in kills (92). The main quarterback on the squad was Vince Amico (Buffalo, NY) for the second year in a row. The 5'8" graduate of Bishop Timon-St. Jude continues to develop his quickness and technique to deliver the ball to his hitters. His team assist total was an astounding 533 which ranked in #28 (7.79 assists per game) in the NCAA national leaders list. The squad benefited from four first year players. Anthony Blasz (Eden, NY/Eden) tied with Sykora with 28 total service aces and had 23 total blocks his first year. Adam Clabo (No. Tonawanda, NY/Niagara Wheatfield) stepped into the libero roll after spending the off-season recovering from minor knee surgery. Gary Gawera (Eden, NY/Eden) joined the team as an all-around player who could contribute as a back-up setter (9 assists) and outside hitter. And the one player who never was mentioned all year was Rob Moyes from Chico, CA (Pleasant Valley Baptist). Moyes was on the floor in special situation to add an extra set of long arms to block the ball and to rest Amico.
As a team, the Hawks finished ranked #3 in digs per game (12.84) in the national statistical category. They were also ranked in aces per game (1.52 - #29), hitting percentage (1.37 - #31); blocks per game (1.61 - #36), kills per game (8.88 - #40) and assists per game (8.14 - #39). All the while, the eight gentlemen were working diligently in the classroom to secure an overall 3.122 cumulative grade point average earning a NECVA Academic Team Award. Individually, juniors Davies and Sykora, as well as sophomore Amico, were named to the 2010 NECVA All Academic team having maintained a cumulative grade point average of higher than 3.50.

Officials Confident in FEMA Aid
By Scott Wartman, The Kentucky Enquirer
Federal Emergency Management Agency officials Monday toured the homes in southern Kenton County devastated by the severe storm on Friday that produced the EF3 tornado. Storm victims might get federal aid within a week if President Barack Obama declares a federal emergency, officials said. Gov. Steve Beshear has requested an expedited federal disaster declaration. FEMA will inspect damage in Grant County on Tuesday and might also inspect Pendleton County, officials said.

Federal budget update: Congress last week finally approved the "Megabus," a spending bill that contained the final nine (of 12 total) appropriations bills for federal fiscal year 2012.
Congressional tax cut standoff ends, preventing 27.4-percent cut in Medicare reimbursements: While Congress finally passed the fiscal year 2012 budget, there still is one key issue left to be resolved before the year ended. Congress was in a standoff over the renewal of a payroll tax cut due to expire on Dec. 31 that would mean the loss of about $1,000 in income for individuals who make $50,000 a year. Linked to this debate is what's known as the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR), the formula for physician reimbursement rates under Medicare.
If Congress didn't approve the tax cut bill, then the SGR wouldn't be renewed. That meant there would be a Medicare payment cut of 27.4 percent taking effect Jan. 18 if Congress didn't resolve the issue. Passing the SGR has bipartisan support and the support of many medical organizations, such as the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Family Physicians.
The Senate passed a two-month extension of the tax cut before it went into its holiday recess last week (to give it time to resolve the tax cut and SGR issues after the new year), but the GOP-led House wasn't going to pass the extension unless the Senate returned to Washington. After several days of limbo, the House finally agreed on Thursday, Dec. 22, to pass the extension. Had the extension not passed, many health professionals would have been heavily impacted by this Medicare cut, and there were worries that some providers would stop taking Medicare patients if the cuts went through. The impact on SEARHC may be less than it is for many private practices, since most of our Medicare payments are based on a different fee structure.
SEARHC S'áxt' Hít Mt. Edgecumbe Hospital gets new ATM: A new automatic teller machine is being installed at S'áxt' Hít Mt. Edgecumbe Hospital this week, giving the hospital its first ATM in about a year. Sitka's ALPS Federal Credit Union is hosting the new ATM. Sitka residents who have accounts at ALPS will be able to make free transactions on the machine, and all non-ALPS members will have to pay $2 (less than the $3 charged by the previous machine). ALPS is investigating various partnership opportunities with other financial networks to see if there are ways the partnerships can eliminate some of the user fees. The machine is in place, and workers hope to have it connected later this week.
SEARHC Health Promotion pilots new conflict resolution program: Conflicts in the workplace are inevitable and when they aren't managed well they can contribute to big problems — sleepless nights, strained relationships, decreased health outcomes, reduced efficiency and even staff turnover. According to a recent study, it is estimated that U.S. companies spend more than 2.8 hours a week addressing work place conflicts, which equates to approximately $359 billion in paid hours a year. SEARHC is certainly not immune from these costs, which is why in 2011 SEARHC Health Promotion managers researched, selected and then implemented a comprehensive six-month conflict resolution program by CRM Learning. The program is built on a four-step process and a fitting acronym — CALM which stands for Clarify the issue, Address the problem, Listen to the other side and Manage your way to resolution. The pilot included, a pre-test, an initial three-hour training, follow up educational e-mails, supplemental books, reminder cards, a make-up training and a booster session before the post tests were completed. The result of our pilot was positive. As one staffer put it, "I think it's a great tool." A post-project survey revealed that 75 percent of respondents reported using the CALM tool at least once, 32 percent reported using it three or more times. The Employee Wellness team is now offering this conflict resolution training to other teams and departments throughout SEARHC. For more information contact Doug Osborne at 966-8734.
Juneau Behavioral Health Clinic staff takes EFT training: Clinic staff at the SEARHC Juneau Behavioral Health Clinic took part in a presentation led by Sitka resident David Kanosh about EFT, also known as Emotional Freedom Technique. EFT is used for stress relief, chronic pain management, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other disorders. It involves a series of tapping points, where patients use their fingers to tap along several of the body's meridians that also are used in acupuncture. The half-day presentation involved 10 clinic staff members, who learned the basics of EFT and then practiced tapping for conditions such as arthritis pain, feelings of being overwhelmed, migraines and other issues. This technique is a good tool for our pain management program, because many times people can use EFT to drop their pain levels down to where they don't need medication.
Holiday clinic closures announced: All SEARHC health care facilities will be closed on Monday, Dec. 26, for Christmas and on Monday, Jan. 2, for New Year's. These closures are so SEARHC employees can spend time with their families during the holidays. The SEARHC Ethel Lund Medical Center in Juneau will offer reduced Saturday services on Dec. 24 (open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. instead of 10-5), and regular Saturday services on Dec. 31. The Juneau clinic will not offer its normal Sunday services (noon to 4 p.m.) on Dec. 25 or Jan. 1. The SEARHC urgent care department at S'áxt' Hít Mt. Edgecumbe Hospital in Sitka will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 24 and Dec. 31, for walk-in patients. But all other regular Saturday clinics offered at SEARHC facilities throughout the consortium will be closed on Saturday, Dec. 24 and Dec. 31. In addition, SEARHC will have staff working during the holidays to take care of any inpatients staying at the hospital in Sitka, and there will be 24-hour emergency room staff available at the hospital during the holidays. All SEARHC village clinics that normally provide off-hour emergency services will have staff on call during the holidays. SEARHC wishes everybody a safe and happy holiday season.
Anchorage patient advocate recruiting: The Kodiak Area Native Association (KANA) is recruiting an Anchorage-based patient advocate who will work with KANA and SEARHC patients seeking care at the Alaska Native Medical Center. The patient advocate will be based with the Customer Experience staff at the Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC). This position is shared by KANA and SEARHC, with supervision from KANA. The patient advocate serves as a customer liaison for KANA and SEARHC patients who travel to Anchorage to receive care at ANMC. The patient advocate helps patients and their families use and navigate the Alaska Tribal Health Care System. The patient advocate also ensures patients receive the highest quality health care possible and are satisfied with the care provided. To learn more about the open position and its job requirements, go to http://www.kanaweb.org/html/jobs.php and scroll down to the Patient Advocate job listing. Applications are due by Friday, Jan. 6. For more information, contact the KANA Human Resources Department at 907-486-9800 (in Kodiak) or send an e-mail to email@example.com. For now, SEARHC and KANA patients who need help while seeking treatment at ANMC or the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium should call the main number at the ANMC Customer Experience department (729-3990) to receive support. Once the KANA/SEARHC patient advocate for Anchorage is hired, a new release will be issued with the direct number for assistance.
Just a reminder …
SEARHC patient advocates serve as customer liaisons: SEARHC has three patient advocates in Southeast Alaska — Bryan Whitson (Sitka), Ashley Hunt (Juneau) and Cyndi Reeves (POW) — who serve as customer service liaisons between patients and SEARHC, and help patients navigate their way through SEARHC's health system. SEARHC and the Kodiak Area Native Association (KANA) share an Anchorage-based patient advocate, who serves SEARHC and KANA patients receiving care at the Alaska Native Medical Center. (NOTE: The SEARHC/KANA position currently is under recruitment and patients can call the Alaska Native Medical Center Customer Experience Department at 729-3990 until it is filled.) Patients living in Sitka, Angoon, Kake, Pelican, Tenakee Springs, Yakutat, Petersburg and Wrangell should contact Bryan Whitson at 966-8860. Patients in Juneau, Haines, Skagway, Klukwan and Hoonah should contact Ashley Hunt at 463-6656. Patients in Klawock, Craig, Hydaburg, Kasaan, Thorne Bay and other POW communities should contact Cyndi Reeves at 755-4983 (965-0040, cell). Patients traveling to Anchorage for care should contact the patient advocate at 729-3992 (942-5867, cell).
SEARHC adds 24/7 on-call travel coordinators: Are you a SEARHC patient who needs after-hours help while traveling for a medical appointment? SEARHC now has a 24/7 on-call travel number. A staff person is on call to help you when your flight has been diverted due to weather or you need late-night help with housing. For assistance, call 1-800-916-8566 (toll-free in Alaska) or 1-907-966-8345 in Sitka and follow the prompts for assistance. To help us better help you, please call as soon as you can get to a phone after you know your flight has been changed.
SEARHC hosts 24/7 crisis help line, toll-free at 1-877-294-0074: A personal or family crisis doesn't always happen during clinic hours, so the SEARHC Behavioral Health Division has contracted with a crisis call center to provide help for Southeast Alaska residents when they need it most. The SEARHC Help Line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and it will be staffed with a team of master's-degree-level mental health therapists who will listen and provide effective, compassionate care. This line provides confidential telephone counseling for people during a time of mental health crisis, and it is not just an answering service. The counselors will assess the situation and provide appropriate intervention using protocols developed with SEARHC Behavioral Health. Follow-up calls from SEARHC Behavioral Health or our partner agencies will be made the next business day. For more information, contact SEARHC Behavioral Health/Suicide Prevention Program Manager Wilbur Brown at 966-8753.

While the courses comprising a graduate certificate may be used as evidence in support of a student's application for admission to a graduate degree program, the certificate itself is not considered to be a prerequisite and does not guarantee admission into any graduate degree program. The certificate program is not intended to serve as a default system for students in a degree program who find that they are not able to complete the degree for academic or other reasons.
