I believe if fans sent the message to owners that we are willing to walk away from the game if owners/players are willing to damage the season, then both sides might actually hammer an agreement. But if NFL powers-that-be can take fans for granted, then what's the rush?
Goodell demonstrates awkwardness in relating to average fans, agreed. But we fans need to get a grip. So maybe the season doesn't start on time. Maybe, though it's a long shot, the season gets canceled. Who cares? Yes, it's annoying to momentarily lose a favorite pastime. But painful? I don't think so. Our lives will continue.
Our lives didn't end in 1994 when the baseball strike ended the season. Baseball and fan enthusiasm recovered. As for football, so we might lose a few games. Maybe we'll find other activities to fill our autumn Sundays. Like enjoying the great outdoors, spending more time socializing in ways that don't involve football, reading, etc. Just a thought.
I'm in the same boat as Sieger. I have yet to spend a dime gambling at Sands. But one night at Emeril's burger joint, I ordered a burger, salad, two Heinekens and a dessert. With tip, the tab approached $40. Sheesh.
Thanks Tony for the supportive feedback.
I dislike relying on politicians or any single personality as a salvation figure. Our desire for a white knight often serves as an excuse for not demanding more of ourselves.
Therefore I nominate the American citizen. One with the capacity to lead, the courage to take risks, the character to make sound moral judgments, the ethic to work hard, and the restraint to live within one's means.
If we produce more citizens like that we we will develop a stronger country from the bottom up, not the top down.
I'm with Rudy and Nick. As a Yankees and Eagles fan, I simply can't afford to overlook talent on the Red Sox, Cowboys, Giants, etc.
That said, when a key player on your fantasy team faces your real team, it is easy to feel conflicted. Naturally, I continue to root for my favorite team regardless. But if my team loses anyway while one of my fantasy stars excels, I admit to taking some consolation after the game. At that point, what's done is done.
This blog is wrong on many levels.
First, the federal budget is a fiscal trainwreck with trillion-and-a-half dollar deficits as far as the eye can see. This is not a temporary phenomenon caused by the recession - though the recession exacerbated matters - the problem is structural. If we don't want to become the United States of Greece, or some other bankrupt nation, we'll do something serious now rather than later.
Leaving revenue aside for a moment, any honest examination of expenses reveals that there are two culprits to overspending: the military and entitlements.
I favor reducing our military commitments - we are currently overstretched - and downsizing the Pentagon. We already spend more on defense than most of the world combined. That needs to change. I believe we can save serious money without compromising national security.
But that's not enough. To attack the core of the problem, we must reduce entitlements because that is the part spiraling out of control. Start with Medicare and Medicaid, which are open-ended taxpayer guarantees to subsidize entire segments of the population. This is no longer sustainable. The retirement of Baby Boomers is projected to double the ranks of Medicare beneficiaries by 2030. (I can go on with projections, but most serious folks get the idea.)
These changes being proposed are serious medicine but they would be phased in long-term. Ryan's plan doesn't change benefits for existing seniors or future beneficiaries aged at least 55. It changes future benefits starting 2022, or for those aged 54 and under, by limiting taxpayer reimbursement to basic benefits. If one wants premium coverage, he/she would have to pay for it. How is that an unfair hardship? Would you rather the program collapse?
Your blog doesn't propose an alternative accept to assume that tweaking Medicare combined with raising taxes on the "rich" will solve everything. First, "rich" individuals already pay a disproportionate amount of taxes. The top 10 percent of earners pay more than half the country's income taxes while the bottom 50 percent pay little or nothing. (That's IRS data, you can look it up.)
Second, you attack Ryan for proposing to cut the corporate tax rate from 35 to 25 percent. Yes it does, but that reduction is in exchange for eliminating loopholes. Eliminate loopholes and companies can devote more resources toward productive endeavors and less effort dodging taxes. Eliminate loopholes and you don't get cases like GE.
Last, history proves that lowering tax rates (from overly high levels) does generate economic growth. The broad-based income and investment tax cuts of the 1920s, 60s and 80s (Coolidge-Kennedy-Reagan) expanded the economy and increased tax revenue to the government. (Look it up.) The Bush tax cuts were less effective, but the starting point of tax rates when Bush took office was much lower than the above examples.
In short, the private sector generates the wealth that funds government services. Government consumes wealth, it does not create it. When it consumes too much, the ship sinks. This debate is about saving the ship.
Suspect might have been a strong word, but the Phillies lineup doesn't intimidate people as it once did. With Utley's status questionable, the offensive potency is reduced to Howard, Rollins and Victorino. All are good but all have their limitations.
I hate to say it but the Bosox are the lead choice. Terry Francona did wonders with a team decimated by injuries last year. Add Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and the return of Jacoby Ellsbury to an already deep pitching staff and you have a formidable team. Don't count out the Bombers, either. One trade-deadline acquisition of a frontline starter changes the complexion of my beloved boys in Pinstripes, who are a Series contender as is. And, oh yeah, maybe the Phillies.
Top 5 Reasons the Phillies won't win the World Series.
1. The Bullpen:
Unless the four aces can achieve the miraculous feat of pitching complete games four of every five nights, opposing offenses will find second life against this alarmingly thin pen where past-his-prime closer Brad Lidge begins the year - where else? - on the disabled list.
2. Suspect offense:
What was recently feared as the NL's most dominant lineup suddenly looks pedestrian. Werth will be missed and the once potent bats supplied by the middle infield are now fragile. I do agree that Rollins can rebound but the diagnosis on Utley is discouraging.
3. The four aces are not invincible:
Pitchers are funny breed. Between injuries and suffering mysterious off-years in their prime, pitchers are prone to unpredictability more so than hitters. Plus three of the core four are aged 32 and older. Not that that's ancient, but we're not talking about spring chickens either.
4. Even if the Phillies win the NL, the Red Sox staff is comparable with a better offense.
5. OK, I'm out of reasons. See reasons 1-4.
This is not to disparage the Phillies. They're still an elite team but they are not this invincible machine described by the pre-season hype. I expect a division title, 96-98 wins, and possibly a league pennant.
In 2009, National Penn lost $348 million, or $3.61 a share.
In 2010, National Penn earned $21.3 million, or 10 cents a share.

The Eagles don't pull off the miracle comeback against the Giants without Vick's heroics. Reverse that game and the Giants assume command of the NFC East.
In fact, dramatic second-half comebacks were never McNabb's strength. I doubt he would have engineered late comebacks in the other two big wins recently: First Giants game and first Dallas game.
It is not also totally accurate to credit McNabb with five division titles. The last title, in 2006, came under Jeff Garcia as McNabb suffered a season-ending injury.
But more important: McNabb's regular-season success and limited post-season success is old news. It all occurred in the first half of his career.
From 2000 to 2004, he gave the Eagles strong years. Five straight playoff appearances, culminating in one conference title. Disappointing that there was no Super Bowl title, but a commendable run.
His last five years, from 2005 to 2009, were a mixed bag. Season-ending injuries plus some so-so to good seasons. Not especially memorable.
It is true that Vick has better weapons than McNabb does in Washington (of course McNabb had these weapons in 2009 and did zilch in the post-season) but McNabb has made no noticeable impact in Washington.
The Redskins won five games with McNabb. Big deal. Perhaps the better angle is this: The Redskins could have won five games with Jason Campbell. In fact, they did in years past.
McNabb is past his prime and is now basically an above-average quarterback. He is clearly not in the NFL's top ten.
The Eagles cleverly traded him while he still had value - got No. 2 and No. 4 draft picks - and still managed to upgrade at quarterback. It's time to move on.
These hysterical attacks on the church are off base.
The church is NOT escaping accountability. If you have a credible accusation of abuse against a priest, you can sue the diocese. That is the entity that directly supervises his employment. Rome does not manage the daily affairs of every diocese around the globe.
What's happening here is attorneys who specialize in sex-abuse settlements, having already extracted millions of dollars from American dioceses, are now going after Vatican resources, attempting to tie Rome to decades-old cases that occurred in the United States.
These are not new accusations. These are new attempts to re-litigate old cases.
If the Vatican was the obvious culprit for American cases, why are lawyers only now suing it? Answer: They have exhausted settlement opportunities in the U.S. (The plaintiff in this case has already won $25.3 million from the archdiocese of Louisville.)
Giving the green light here would enable lawyers to manipulate this scandal into an endless windfall. Is this justice or opportunism? The church has the right to defend itself against a bottomless pit of lawsuits.
Regarding the pope, he was appointed in 2005. What happens under his direct control is fair game. But trying to scapegoat the pope for events that occurred in the Milwaukee archdiocese between 1950-1974 - the basis of this lawsuit - is outrageous.
Lastly, it is scurrilous to equate priests with abusers. According to data tracked by the United Nations, between 1.5 and 5 percent of priests have been accused of sexual abuse over the past 50 years. John Jay College did a similar study and found the number at 4 percent.
Yes those figures are (or were) still too high. Yes that small number inflicted great damage. And yes the bishops compounded the crisis by covering up the scandal. The church has deservedly suffered. But this is old news.
We're far worse off than a year ago.
Before passage, Team Obama sold the stimulus as needed to prevent unemployment from reaching 8 percent. Guess what? The stimulus passed and unemployment surpassed 10 percent.
It gets worse. The so-called "real" unemployment rate - counting those who have given up looking for jobs as well as part-timers who prefer to work full-time - is 17 percent.
So we're in rough shape.
No, the new administration did not create this problem. It did indeed inherit a crisis and any other adminstration would be grappling with the same issues. (This goes deeper than Republicans and Democrats.)
But Team Obama must be held accountable for how it deals with the problem. One year in power backed sizable Democratic majorities in both branches of Congress is not nothing. The results so far are not encouraging.
Evidence of growth generated by the stimulus, which admittedly has only been partially spent, is scant. A big chunk was given to state and local governments. Congress, meanwhile, used the stimulus as a license to spend on pet projects. I don't like government using a crisis to justify a spending spree, but the mentality of this White House was expressed by Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel: "You never let a serious crisis go to waste."
We did see some growth last year but much of its was driven by one-time giveaways like cash-for-clunkers and homebuyer tax credits. This is not sustainable. At best, such programs are stopgaps. At worst, they are inducements to pile up more debt, thuse reinforcing our credit-addicted behavior, leading to further crashes down the road. It's crazy to think you can rescue an economy drunk on credit by issuing more credit.
The previous administration's handling of the problem - TARP bailout - was odious in a different way.
No one seems to know where the money went. The banks can't explain it. It certainly didn't stimulate lending, which is hard to do when there is so little demand to borrow. Consumers and businesses are simply tapped. You can only jawbone people so much. So banks apparently used the money to prop up their balance sheets.
But we do know this: TARP cemented a too-big-to-fail mindset. Large institutions know they can gamble, come up snake eyes, and get bailed out by the taxpayer. By removing the consequences of reckless behavior, we can expect more reckless behavior. We have yet to realize the full consequences of this policy.
Those who defend TARP say the economy would have fallen off a cliff. Well, we don't know. But I remember then Treasuary Secretary Hank Paulson was quoted in fall 2008 saying he feared without a bailout the Dow would drop several thousand points and unemployment would soar. We got TARP and all that happened anyway.
Best I can tell, the root cause of this disaster is years of easy money, loose credit and lax oversight. The Fed is at the center of this crisis, which is why I say this goes deeper than Republicans and Democrats. And this and the previous administrations don't differ much in their response with one exception: Team Obama seems to believe the government can restore growth whereas the Bush administration didn't.
Otherwise, they are essentially advised by the same people. I see little difference between Tim Geithner and Hank Paulson. Bernanke was there for both administrations. And both Fed and Treasury are tight with Wall Street.
Looks like we're in the mess for a while. When businesses rebuild their capital positions and households fix their balance sheets - a process that will take time - maybe we can grow again. This crisis was years in the making. We're still crawling our way out.
The term "Republican-leaning" reflects the company's history of political contributions and policy preferences.
In the past, the company has opposed government intervention in health reform. That is not a judgment of right or wrong, but a description of the company's stance. Also, from the Associated Press article this blog links to:
"Moreover, Wal-Mart and its officials have given far more in political contributions over the past decade to Republicans than to Democrats. The same is true of the pharmaceutical industry and several other health-related groups."
I am aware the first $800 billion began in the prior administration. It was wrong then because it was passed under false pretense. We were told the bailout was needed to purchase toxic assets from banks in order to clean their balance sheets so they could resume lending. But within weeks, then Treasury Sec Hank Paulson shifted gears. He said pricing the assets was too complicated. Instead, the government would purchase stock directly from banks. Worse, they strong-armed even profitable banks to accept the money (JP Morgan never reported a loss) so as not to stigmatize unhealthy banks, fearing a run. Recipients were forced to take money they didn't want from taxpayers who didn't want to spend it. It's unintended consequences I fear. Congress essentially granted legislative authority to the executive branch with few strings. The bailout was even applied to the auto industry, which might consolidate under bankruptcy reorganization anyway despite the federal aid. And now that we have authorized this spending, it becomes harder to resist requests new for spending. You know the rationale: If we could spend billions on banks, why can't we spend ...
As for what would have happened if the original bailout did not pass or what I would have done, I'm not sure. I don't think the Depression comparison is completely fair because that crisis was precipitated by a collapse of commercial banks. This crisis was mostly investment banks, though I'm fully aware of their role in the global financial markets, of which we are all invested. The amount of commercial bank failures in this crisis has been relatively low, much less than the S&L crisis. Plus, banks are federally insured today. (I do support certain elements of the New Deal, like banking and unemployment insurance as well as creating the SEC.) Even after the bailout last fall, unemployment soared and the market dropped some 40 percent. We could have saved a lot of money and still experienced that decline. Some response was necessary, but government always overreaches with a power grab. Again, unintended consequences.
Just to clarify an earlier exchange, I did not suggest all was fine before the government intervened. I am simply wary of government's potential to compound a crisis, all while politicians portray themselves as "fixing" things. The current stimulus struck me as Congress using a crisis to justify a political wish-list. It's true, the new administration inherited a large deficit. But it helped to quadruple it. (From some $455 billion to $1.75 trillion, though some of that was inherited since the fiscal year began Oct. 1.) And yes, the administration inherited an extraordinary challenge. But it chose, was not forced, to authorize trillions more in new debt over the next decade. Eventually, it will have to own its policies and be judged on its merits. The honeymoon of blaming an unpopular predecessor will end.
It's also key to keep in mind the government's role in causing this crisis. The Federal Reserve directly fostered the housing bubble through a policy of easy money and cheap credit. Natural market forces rein in excessive borrowing through higher interest rates. Yet, in the early part of this decade, the Fed was practically begging us to borrow, largely to promote recovery from the prior recession. I recall few if any Republicans or Democrats aggressively questioning Alan Greenspan on the wisdom of this policy. This expansion of credit overheated the mortgage market, and to a lesser extent, auto loans and credit cards. Yet Greenspan was practically deified. And somehow the Fed always escapes a crisis with its reputation intact.
One correction: One of the most enduring myths of the Great Depression is that Herbert Hoover's tightfisted, laissez-faire philosophy accelerated the collapse. To the contrary, Herbert Hoover raised taxes, raised spending, launched public works projects, etc. So much so that candidate FDR lacerated Hoover in 1932 for presiding over the "greatest spending administration in peacetime in all of history."
Of course, FDR shattered records for peacetime spending but the U.S. remained mired in depression until the early 1940s. World War II did more to end the Depression than the New Deal.
Fast forward to today. What's scary about perpetually spending money we don't have, and in the Fed's case, printing it out of thin air, is that it will generate rapid inflation when the economy recovers. If simply injecting trillions of dollars can revive an economy, why not do it more often? Eventually those dollars will be offset with higher prices, which diminishes our earnings power. Savings will be worth less, but so will debts. Savers are punished while borrowers are encouraged. That's backwards.
Real capital, or money set aside for investment, comes from savings. Government "injections" might stimulate short-term activity, but are not a foundation for lasting prosperity. I would rather we endure a harsh correction and return to solvency naturally, if painfully, than by artificial means. Unfortunately, we American voters act is if we are entitled to an immediate, soft landing. This country's spendthrift ways created this mess. We are not immune from the consequences.
I don't pretend to be an economist but I know there is something fishy about rescuing an economy drunk on credit by issuing more credit. This recession will end, perhaps this year or next. It's the "recovery" that worries me.
It always amazes me how those who attack the church's teaching never bother to accurately cite it.
This debate was never about condemning individuals for their shortcomings or failures. If the church were limited to non-sinners, it would not exist. If mere sinning resulted in excommunication, there would be no church.
That's the beauty of mercy and redemption. Despite our failings, we can redeem ourselves through repentance. We need a church precisely because of our fallen natures.
No doubt, some self-identified Catholics publicly and persistently defy the church on core matters. But that doesn't make it right. It's still a breach of faith.
And, for the last time, this is more than an invitation to speak. Campus dialogue can be had anytime. But a commencement address coupled with the awarding of an honorary doctorate in law is quite an endorsement. I humbly suggest Catholic institutions reserve that distinction for individuals who actually advance a Catholic vision.

Bank International Indonesia Finance Center, the auto-financing arm of Bank International Indonesia, expressed confidence that it will meet its target to boost outstanding loans to Rp 9 trillion ($943 million) next year, up 33 percent from an estimated Rp 6 trillion in 2011, even after the government tightened rules for car buyers.
The Finance Ministry introduced the regulation in mid-June, requiring car buyers to make a minimum down payment of 25 percent of the sale price for loans from financing companies, and 30 percent if the loan is from a bank.
Previously, there were no rules, and sellers often required about 15 percent for down payments. The regulation was introduced to prevent an increase of non-performing loans for vehicle purchases. About 70 percent of car purchases in Indonesia are financed by loans.
"[The rule] had no [negative] impact on our business. It will improve it," said Alexander, BII Finance Center president director.
Alexander said that the average down payment in the company after the rule was implemented was 34 percent, up from an average of 30 percent beforehand.
The average, he said, reflected the company's target market, which is the middle class.
"We are focusing on financing the purchases of new cars," Alexander said, adding that 93 percent of the cars financed through the organization are new.
He said that BII Finance Center wants to disburse Rp 5 trillion in new loans this year for 40,000 cars. The target is likely to be reached because from January through August, the company already disbursed Rp 4 trillion.
The Association of Indonesian Automotive Manufacturers on Sept. 7 restored its original projection of car sales in the country, which was one million for this year.
That was up from the sale of 875,000 units last year. The estimate was temporarily lowered because of the regulation.

A Salley man was taken into custody over the weekend and charged with a slew of drug offenses.
Robert Dusty Widener, 34, of 267 Railroad Ave., was arrested Saturday and charged with manufacturing methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, disposal of methamphetamine waste, distribution of methamphetamine, possession of a controlled substance and driving under suspension, according to the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
According to Capt. Troy Elwell, the Sheriff's Office assisted Salley police with the arrest, which was made possible through tips from residents and informants.
Information came in that methamphetamine was being cooked and distributed from 267 Railroad Ave., which was once Dusty's Muffler and Auto, according to a report.
Investigators went to the property, where they observed a barrel with burning trash which was later identified as possible disposal of methamphetamine waste. The smell of chemicals and sulfur were emitting from the shop and a Jeep SUV was seen parked on the premises.
Salley Police Chief J.D. Bledsoe was contacted by the responding deputies, as well as the Sheriff's Office Narcotics Division. Just when the narcotics investigators arrived, the Jeep left the property. A traffic stop was conducted, and Widener, who was identified as the driver, was taken into custody.
Investigators searched the property and found materials that are typically used to manufacture methamphetamine and the drug itself, the report read.

Protein for Bodybuilding
Lately my I have been taking my gym time very seriously. I'm trying to stick to a diet that will compliment my workout regimen, so I am trying to get at least 30% of my calories from protein - that's 150 grams of protein a day. (Just for reference, two servings of straight-up pure protein powder only has 50 grams.)
I am a vegetarian, so animal protein isn't available to me. I'm also allergic to nuts. (I know, it's like I'm just being difficult.) I have been eating a lot of chickpeas, egg whites, quinoa, and greek yogurt, but it's still not enough. Can anyone recommend some foods that are VERY high in protein?

Robert Pattinson missed out on all the fun last night. Girlfriend Kristen Stewart joined her On the Road co-star, Garrett Hedlund, Rob's BFF/OTR star Tom Sturridge and his lady-friend Sienna Miller for dinner at St. Johns in London, followed by drinks at The Groucho Club. The group split up at around 2:50 AM, with Kristen hopping into a car with her hunky bodyguard (call us) in tow.
Oh, the things we love about this night out. We love that Kristen is still wearing those blue sneakers and that she seems to be immune from getting blisters from wearing sneakers without socks. We love that Garrett is a new member of Team Hobo, what with his cap, Chucks and ratty jeans. We love the raccoon that died and went to heaven on Tom's face. We love his Lady Gaga t-shirt. We even love everything about Sienna's outfit. The only thing we hate is the absence of a crucial member of the clique. Maybe they Skyped him in from Toronto?

Underage Drunking Legislation Mirrors College Campuses Efforts
By Nazca Warren
Las Cruces, NM – With the New Mexico 2008 legislative session underway, Attorney General Gary King is pushing for legislation to prosecute underage alcohol drinkers. According to the International Institute for Alcohol Awareness, about ninety-three thousand underage New Mexico youth drink each year. As KRWG's Nazca Warren reports, the rise in alcohol consumption is forcing some college campuses to also set stricter guidelines in order to curb the number of underage students who drink.

It's that time of year when many of us make resolutions. One metro expert says she's taking steps to go greener this year, and you can too.
You may already recycle or take reusable bags to the grocery store. But, how can you take your sustainability efforts to a new level this year?
Green Author and Consultant Linda Mason Hunter says she's going to start by buying less. She says her mantra is, "use it up, wear it out, make due, do without."
She says you can also step up efforts at the grocery store. In addition to a reusable grocery bag, she she suggests green produce bags. The bags let fruits and vegetables breathe and keep produce fresher longer. The bags can also be reused. She says, "You can take them with you to the grocery store and when you're shopping you can actually put your produce in the bags and they can weigh them."
And, what about a recycled bag for your trash? She says, "The average American throws out four and a half pounds of trash every day." Hunter says to trade in your plastic trash bag for one made out of recycled materials. She says, "So at least you are using something that's recycled and using up something that's been previously used."
She says you can even green your morning routine. She says,"Studies have shown the average woman puts on her body 160 synthetic chemicals a day." She says men put on about 80. She suggests going to the environmental working group's skin deep website to see how natural your product is. The group ranks 50,000 personal care items.
She says her best piece advice is to start small because there's no need to stress about sustainability.

WASHINGTON, May 12, 2009 Military officials in Baghdad today identified a soldier who has been charged with shooting and killing five of his comrades yesterday at a combat stress center at Camp Liberty, Iraq.
Army Sgt. John M. Russell, 44, of Sherman, Texas, is being held in military police custody at Victory Base Complex in Baghdad, and has been charged with five specifications of murder and one of aggravated assault, said Army Maj. Hunter Holliday, a military spokesman in Baghdad.

Brendan Rodgers is hopeful that Pepe Reina will be fit to face Southampton next week.
The Spanish custodian missed our 3-2 victory over Tottenham on Sunday with a calf problem.
Brad Jones deputised as the Reds climbed to sixth in the Barclays Premier League.
Rodgers said: "It was disappointing because we thought he would probably make it today.
"He had a tight calf in a fitness test this morning and unfortunately for him he didn't get through it. Hopefully by next week he'll be fine.
"Big credit to Brad Jones, who came in at the last minute. He equipped himself terrifically today and made a great stop, especially in the first half.
"We'll see how Pepe is next week."
Rodgers confirmed before Sunday's win that Joe Allen would require surgery on his shoulder, though the problem has not kept him from playing.

Professor and Associate Dean Jonathan Wright to Receive Inaugural Faculty Alumni Service Award
Jonathan Wright, associate dean and professor of biology, has been selected to receive the inaugural Faculty Alumni Service Award from Pomona's Alumni Association Board. The award is given "in recognition of exemplary service to the alumni association over a period of years" and will be presented at the Alumni Board's dinner for new faculty in February.
Wright led his first alumni travel/study program to Alaska in 2000 and, according to Nancy Treser-Osgood, director of alumni relations, the trip was so well reviewed, he has since led four alumni trips: one to the Sea of Cortez/Gulf of California, two to the Galapagos Islands and one down the Amazon River. He also leads Pomona's yearly alumni whale watching day trips off the California coast.
"It is always a uniquely rewarding experience to lead alumni trips and share interesting company while exploring some of the world's most magnificent and unspoiled ecological sanctuaries," says Wright. "Walking in Darwin's footsteps in the Galapagos and discussing its unique endemic species in the historical context of Darwin's development of natural selection as an evolutionary mechanism, is a thrill for any biologist. Some of my most rewarding experiences have come from sharing observations and insights with guests, young or old, and visualizing their excitement, whether it be the feeding behavior of humpback whales, spawning crabs in the Sea of Cortez, or the bubble raft of a pelagic sea snail."
Wright joined the Pomona College faculty in 1989 and has taught Animal Physiology, Invertebrate Biology and Introduction to Ecological and Evolutionary Biology. His research focuses on arthropod physiology and how selection has shaped different physiological systems in the evolutionary transition from marine to terrestrial life. He has twice received the Wig Distinguished Professor Award for Excellence in Teaching. In July 2011, he was appointed to a three-year term as Associate Dean.
Alumni tours for summer 2012 include a family safari in South Africa with Prof. Nina Karnovsky and a walking tour of Spain following the path of pilgrimage to the tomb of St. James with Prof. Ken Wolf and guide Peter Watson. For more information, visit www.pomona.edu/alumni.

Got the ARC of Kathy Reichs's new book, Bones of the Lost, so will be starting that tonight!
I just finished "Gone Girl," and now I'm reading "The Passage," which has me in one of those "book trances" in which I am so into the book that I've lost all sense of reality.
I was to library today to lend two books. I wanted to re-read Night shift so lend that
and I also found The Twelve translated to Swedish- De Första Tolv by Justin Cronin and
I liked his first one The Passage, so now I want to read his next book. It surprised me that
The Twelve already had come out translated, thought it would come out next year first. But
a happy surprise. But started to read Night Shift first. And I really don't know what's wrong with me
I have some reading craze going on in my life right now. I just want to sit down and read a good book
whenever it is time too. Maybe it calm down when I return back to work next week.

After seemingly sitting on the sidelines during the Eurozone crisis, and watching Tim Geithner rebuffed by his Euro colleagues, the Obama Administration is now publicly pressuring the Euro nations, specifically Germany and France. But the pressure is more of the "do something!" variety:
The Obama administration, increasingly alarmed by the spillover effects of Europe's financial crisis, has begun an intensive lobbying campaign to persuade Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and other leaders to act decisively to stem any contagion from the Greece debt crisis.
In phone calls and meetings over the last week, President Obama urged Mrs. Merkel and President Nicolas Sarkozy of France to take coordinated measures — including spending billions in additional funds to bail out Greece and bolstering European central financial institutions — to prevent Greece's debt woes from spreading to its neighbors […]
"The biggest single risk to the United States today is that the European situation will spiral out of control," said Edwin M. Truman, a former Treasury official who is now at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. "Europe is not going to save the U.S. economy, but it could be the straw that breaks it."
That's actually true. But it doesn't appear that the Administration has any specific measures in mind – they just want France and Germany to do whatever is necessary to stop contagion. Isn't the cat out of the bag on this? Portugal, Spain and Italy are all feeling the heat. The ECB bond purchases stopped that for a short while, but nobody believes the problem is solved in those peripheral countries.
There is some indication, however, that the US is saying some of the right things to the Germans: [cont'd.]
In their most recent call, on Monday, Mr. Obama encouraged Mrs. Merkel to throw more financial firepower at the crisis. The conversation delved into technical details, as well as the risk of financial contagion, a senior administration official said.
The administration's lobbying effort takes two main forms. One is to press the argument, supported by many economists, that Germany benefits enormously from preserving the euro in its current form rather than abandoning it or standing by as it unravels.
By combining its Deutschmark with the currencies of poorer countries, like Greece, Germany has been able to have a cheaper currency than it would on its own and to export far more than it otherwise might. And exports, which account for a larger share of the German economy than the American economy, have been the main engine of Germany's recovery […]
The second part of the American effort involves pushing European leaders to strengthen the institutions at the center of their response to the crisis: the European Financial Stability Facility, which is the Continent's main bailout fund, and the European Central Bank.
This is kind of comical. The White House is right to say that Germany benefited from the euro currency union, and now these other countries are being strangled by it. But instead of making the logical leap from that to say that the only option is to break up the euro, their second piece of advice is a plea to use the bailout fund more aggressively.
This story follows an unusual announcement by the finance ministers of the 20 largest economies, which was largely an effort to soothe concerns by investors over volatile markets.
The truth is that global elites everywhere have failed to react to the current financial and economic crisis. This has grown into a bigger and bigger problem over the past 40 years, and now the world cannot sustain the consequences.

Terming the lifting of the All India Football Federation's (AIFF) ban as a big success, Mohun Bagan finance secretary Debashis Dutta said that the club officials would not resign despite facing criticism for the "inept" handling of the I-League derby against East Bengal held on December 9, last year.
There were speculations that the top officials might step down, but Mr. Dutta categorically said, "Have we done anything unethical that we would resign?" In fact, he said it was big victory for the foursome of club president Swapan Sadhan Bose, secretary Anjan Mitra, assistant secretary Srinjoy Bose and himself, as they put their point across to the AIFF.
Mr. Dutta said: "It's a big success for the club since we were able to revoke the ban. We four had tried our best to resolve the crisis. It's a big victory for us. Our primary aim was to bring football back to the players. We have been successful in that. We will discuss our next step later."
In a press release, Mohun Bagan's top officials also thanked the supporters for standing by the club.
However, amid speculations that the top Mohun Bagan officials would step down tomorrow, executive committee member Atin Ghosh said he would put in his papers tomorrow.
Mohun Bagan were a goal down against bitter foes East Bengal when a stone hurled from one of the stands - apparently aimed at the referee – hit midfielder Syed Rahim Nabi of Mohun Bagan and prompting the players to refuse to take the field, leading to a two-year ban.
But moved by the mass appeal, the AIFF today revoked the ban while imposing a fine of Rs. 2 crore.

More than half of India's 3.4 crore income tax payers contribute insignificant amounts as tax, with figures ranging from a paltry Rs 50 to Rs 1,000 in most cases. This reduces the effective tax base to around 1.5 crore tax payers, which includes mainly corporate houses and the salaried class, according to senior officials of the income-tax (I-T) department.
Well-heeled independent professionals, like chartered accountants, doctors, lawyers, big shopkeepers and wholesale traders make up the category of income tax assessees who add to the number of people under the tax net but contribute virtually nothing to the national exchequer.

Elements of the Action Plan
Consistent with GAO's recommendations and the Appropriations Act, the CBP partners have designed, developed, and begun implementation of the Chesapeake Action Plan.
The Plan includes four primary components:
- A Strategic Framework that unifies CBP's existing planning documents and clarifies how CBP partners will pursue the restoration and protection goals for the Bay and its watershed.
- An Activity Integration Plan System that identifies and catalogues CBP partners' resources and actions underway and planned.
- Dashboards, which are high-level summaries of key information, including clear status of progress, realistic annual tar-gets toward certain Chesapeake 2000 goals, summaries of actions and funding, and critical analyses of the current strategy, challenges, and future emphasis.
- An Adaptive Management Process that begins to identify how this information and analysis will provide critical input to CBP partners' actions, emphasis, and future priorities.
Purpose of the Action Plan
Together, these components:
- Promote enhanced coordination among CBP partners.
- Encourage the partners to continually review and improve their progress in protecting and restoring the Bay.
- Increase the transparency of CBP's operations for partners and the public.
- Heighten the level of accountability of CBP as a whole and of the individual partners for meeting their Bay health and restoration goals.
Additionally, to greater align the program with the CAP and the adaptive management system, CBP has reorganized the keystone pillar structure, including an emphasis of the connectivity between the goal areas.

Worship Leadership Students Host Coffee Shop Worship Night
Recently, Worship Leadership students participated in the Spring Semester Coffee Shop, an evening of worship music held each semester in the Dean and Diana Hickman Student Center.
Nine students performed a variety of contemporary Christian worship songs, including music by Hillsong, Bethel, and New Life Worship, as well as music written by the Worship Leadership students. The song "Run to You", written and performed by OCU Worship Leadership student Colton Dutiel, is featured in the below video.
"This evening is my favorite of the semester," said Dr. Rodney Sones, Coordinator for the Worship Leadership Programs at OCU. "I am so proud of the Worship Leadership students: their heart for ministry, the wonderful talent they have, and just the fact that they are great people to be around. All together it makes for a really wonderful time of worship. It's a privilege to lead this new program at OCU!"

Thompson Campground
The Thompson Campground was named in honor of Lionel Thompson, former Mayor of Moberly. He was an avid camper, and enjoyed the natural beauty and quiet surroundings of Rothwell Park. The Thompson Campground offers 24 full hook-up RV spaces. Each space has a concrete pad, electricity, water and sewer connections. There is a seasonal restroom on-site. In addition to the RV park, there is primitive area designated for tent camping. The setting is perfect, being surrounded by woods, but having close access to lake fishing, boating, a 2-mile walking trail, the Miniature Railroad, 18-Hole Disc Golf Course, Aquatic Center, a multitude of picnic shelters and much more!
Plans are currently underway to replace the existing seasonal restroom with a modern, year-round restroom. In addition to the restroom itself, it is planned to provide shower and laundry facilities as well. While there is no firmly scheduled completion date, Moberly Parks and Recreation hopes to finish this project within the next couple of years.
Please follow the links below for more information about planning your RV experience!

Suspect faces kidnapping, assault charges
Quinton Talley of Norlina has been arrested and faces charges of kidnapping and assault involving the same Henderson woman in which similar charges have been filed at least twice before.
Additional warrants were expected to be served on the 26-year-old Talley late Wednesday, including charges of first-degree rape and a second count of first-degree kidnapping, according to Lt. Christopher Ball of the Henderson Police Department and information from the clerk's office.
Talley has been jailed, without bond, for violating a domestic violence protection order issued by District Court Judge John Davis. A $150,000 bond was set for the latest kidnapping and assault with injury charges stemming from a Monday incident.
The victim was with Talley when he was arrested, according to Ball, and taken to a hospital for treatment.
Talley is scheduled for a hearing in Vance County District Court on Nov. 4.
He also has a Dec. 9 court date for incidents on Nov. 24, 2011, and Jan. 29 of this year involving the same victim. In the 2011 incident, he is facing charges of kidnapping, assault by pointing a gun and assaulting a female. In the January incident, he is facing charges of two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, threats, and a second female victim is named.
Talley did community service in June 2010 for an incident April 15, 2009, where he was charged with assaulting a female.
In addition, his past records include charges of assaulting females, trespassing, failure to appear in court, contempt of court, show cause and failure to pay court-ordered money.
According to court records, Talley has three different variations of addresses, aliases of Quenton and Queton, and goes by the nickname "Kinky."
According to Ball, the probe was assisted by deputies in Vance and Warren counties as well as the State Bureau of Investigation.

There was a great scene in the Krav Maga episode of Fight Quest where Jimmy gets floored by a Thai kick to the leg. He curses and growls as he tries to gather himself and get back on his feet, but the instructor says something to the effect of, "Nobody cares about your screaming. You need to get up and keep fighting."
Which is, in effect what the episode was about. And really, what much of your training is all about - keeping your cool when things aren't going your way.
What we can learn from Jimmy getting beat up
Obviously, Jimmy was frustrated - he'd taken a number of shots, he "knew" what to do, but his body just wasn't reacting the way he wanted it to. It's the hell of a place to be, but in the end, it's not about what you intend, it's what you accomplish.
Getting angry doesn't accomplish much. Unless you've got the ability to "Hulk out" (recall Chris Leben vs. Terry Martin), you're really only doing yourself a disservice. A couple months ago, Sifu Z delivered a great post-class pep talk. He said, "when you get frustrated, you're not mad at the other person or the situation, you're mad at yourself. You're frustrated because you're not as good as you thought you were."
"But he hit me in the nose."
Getting angry doesn't accomplish much. Unless you've got the ability to "Hulk out" (recall Chris Leben vs. Terry Martin), you're really only doing yourself a disservice. A couple months ago, Sifu Z delivered a great post-class pep talk. He said, "when you get frustrated, you're not mad at the other person or the situation, you're mad at yourself. You're frustrated because you're not as good as you thought you were."
Which is all well and good for when you analyze the night on your ride him, but what's one to do when you're in the middle of a ten-man kumite against a bunch of legitimate badasses who keep picking on your obvious handicap?
Exactly the opposite of what you want to be doing - instead of hoping someone stops the fight and everyone takes it easy on you because dammit you're trying, you need to do whatever you do to center yourself - take a step back and shake out your arms, do the hoppy-hoppy thing or touch your nose, then get right back into it.
Frustrating as it is to spar with the multi-time everything champ and get blasted with a jab that almost breaks your nose (even though he's going light) and then five more that you can't seem to stop even though you know they're coming, whining is the last thing you want to do.
Nobody likes a whiner
A couple weeks ago a bunch of us were getting ready to spar and waiting for the ring to open up. The boxing coach had a couple relatively new students in there sparring. One dude got popped and turned his back. The coach shouted, "don't turn your back."
Dude looked like he wanted to say something, but was too busy trying to work out of a corner. A couple seconds later, he got popped again and turned his back. The coach repeated his earlier command and this time got an answer.
"But he hit me in the nose."
Inadvertent as his reaction may have been, that guy's foreverafter going to be remembered as "the guy who was surprised that he got punched in the nose while boxing" by everyone watching.
What should he have said in that situation?
It's impossible for anyone but him to know what was going on in his mind or what it felt like to take those shots, but the correct answer is, "nothing." Or, if he felt like his health was in danger, he could have taken a knee, which is a suboptimal ending, but not something anyone would fault him for.
In the end though, it goes something like this
- Stress testing like Jimmy's mini-kumite, or me getting handled by a guy not even trying is an awesome opportunity to figure out how comfortable you are with how much you suck - except for the time you actually spend in the "middle" as it were - then it's the most embarrassing and frustrating few minutes of your life
- If you make it to the end, you've "won." If you can swallow your ego and quit in the middle, you've "won." Hell, you can still win if you spend your time complaining and later realize that you made a fool of yourself and work to correct it
- Quit yer bellyachin'
There is a flip side to this - namely the "I'm a warrior/es mi vida" mindset where it doesn't matter if you get beat up and crippled, the important thing is that you didn't quit. We'll examine this in a future article.

Stopped in today for the BQ Platter and a couple drinks. Service, food, spot on. Manager John added to the great vibes. Would recommend for the NY State theme menu and wine
Posted by Jenny Z on 06/22/2012
I made a reservation for a pre-theater dinner. I arrived a few minutes early and was shown a table two feet from the door which was essentially a table by the noisy crowded bar with two backless stools. I asked for a table with chairs and was told to wait. The hostess came back and said that was the only table available due to many large parties but I could speak with the manager if I would like. He was standing next to her and instead of trying to be nice and accommodating he basically mocked us for wanting to sit and eat like adults rather than sit/stand by the bar for dinner. It was impossible for us to be served properly, eat in a relaxing way and talk to each other. Make no mistake this is a bar and not a relaxing dining establishment. Be forewarned if you want to enjoy a pre-theater dinner. Usually a manager tries to smooth things over but instead he alienated us. Quite different from other restaurants. I can't say that I would recommend this for anyone other than teenagers!

The mission statement of the Stratford Business and Civic Association is: "Working together to build a better community."
Five years ago, in an effort to do just that, members of the SBCA got together to draw up a plan that would help support Stratford's local businesses, resulting in the Stratford Fall Festival.
The community's fifth annual celebration will take place Saturday.
Festival Vice President Kim Lotierzo works with the South Jersey Performing Arts Group, and Treasurer Colleen Petruzzi is involved with child-care education at Under the Sun Learning Centers. SBCA Chairperson Kathy Crane works at Aikado Agatsu Dojos.
"The three of us have just bonded," said SBCA chairwoman Kathy Crane. "I never knew them, but we realized that we have all been in Stratford for 25 years, and each one of us is really committed to the community…
"Each of us has a real hand in the families in the community, and beyond Stratford."
Lotierzo said they started the festival to bring families together in town. "It's been good every year that we've had it," she said. "We've had a nice turnout over the past five years."
"The event has become really well-known in this area," said Crane.
Festival patrons will be able to walk the Yellin School grounds at the intersection of Warwick Road and Vassar Avenue. Wristbands that can be used on rides all day will be $15. There will be plenty of food vendors available, and smaller children can enjoy pony rides, pumpkin painting, activities and games.
"The first year the festival was unknown, and now I've heard kids say they're excited about it," noted Crane. "Now they just expect it."
The event also features live music and performances throughout the day. Classic car and cycle enthusiasts can participate in or attend the 5th Annual Classic Car and Cycle Show and fundraiser for the Military Support Group at the Stratford Swim Club.
Prizes will be awarded all day. A 5K charity run/walk will start at 8 a.m. for a local charity sponsored by the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
Also, adults can check out the Green Fair, which features information on solar power, composting and other environmentally friendly ideas.
Crane said she, Petruzzi and Lotierzo have been working hard behind the scenes of the Stratford Fall Festival. "It's a lot of work if you're going to put this out there," she said. "It's a great event, and the reward is to see the community come together, and to see the young people have that pride.
"The town pride and the community feel is just what we need. It's that feeling that has carried us through."
–Bob Holt
Stratford's Fifth Annual Fall Festival and Green Fair will take place Saturday on the Yellin School Grounds at 317 Warwick Road in Stratford from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Rain date is Sunday. For more information, visit www.StratfordFallFestival.com.

Kara DioGuardi, a judge on American Idol until the end of last season, will be a judge on a new music talent show on Bravo.
DioGuardi will be the head panelist for the show Going Platinum, which is a competition for singer-songwriters set to debut in 2011. The show was formerly known as Hitmakers.
Singer-songwriter Jewel will also serve as one of the judges on the program, which will initially show 10 episodes.
"I am excited to be a part of this show because as a songwriter, I understand the dedication and struggle these musicians are going through," Jewel said in a statement on Bravo's website. "This series will showcase the passion, talent and determination it requires to become a hit songwriter, and in the end we will find the next big music star."
The show won't just show contestants covering songs as in American Idol, but will feature musicians performing their own songs.
The winner of the contest will get a $100,000 prize, a recording deal with RCA/JIVE, and a publishing deal.
"Hit songs are the backbone of the music industry, and as a publisher, nothing excites me more than finding new songwriting talent," DioGuardi told Entertainment Weekly. "I am happy to be a part of a show that helps up-and-coming songwriters pursue their dreams, while giving the public a look into the creative process."

What does it mean when the LAAD 2011 show attracts its largest audience two months after the Brazilian government announced a 26.5% cut in defence spending this year?
Perhaps it suggests the world's aerospace and defence industry has nowhere else to turn.
The Stockholm International Peace Institute has reported that Latin American military spending jumped 5.8% last year, even as overall world spending on national security inched up by less than 2%.
Undoubtedly, Latin America's share of the world pie will not maintain last year's growth trend in 2011, with Brazil - the region's biggest military spender - chopping its procurement accounts by nearly $1.5 billion this year alone.
But the exhibitors and trade visitors swarming even the poorly ventilated halls of the Rio Centro complex did not have their eyes set on short-term deals.
Rather, the defence industry sees Brazil as a country that could become the world's sixth- or seventh-largest economy in a few years, but has a severely outdated security infrastructure and is under pressure to improve rapidly before the football World Cup takes place there in 2014.
They see an air force with a collection of frontline fighters more often found as museum pieces in other parts of the industrialised world.
And they see a political class committed to building up the country's role in the region and the world.
So, the industry looks forward to 2012. Next year, Brazil is likely to award billions of dollars' worth of contracts for new fighters, frigates and, possibly, a $7 billion frontier surveillance system.
At the same time, Brazilian manufacturer Embraer will be finalising the design of the KC-390 tanker-transport, and the air force's technology laboratory will be preparing to launch the ambitious 14-X scramjet-powered, hypersonic waverider.
The question remains, of course, whether Brazil is ready to pull the trigger. The country's population has always been focused on internal security, but has never shown an appetite for building up the apparatus of national security. And the ambitions of the Brazilian armed forces cannot be sustained without the support of the population.
When the next LAAD show convenes in 2013, perhaps we will know better if Brazil's people are ready to afford the global ambitions of their politicians.
