2003 Reunion
Returning to campus.
Peace Is Possible
Only a few days after the Israelis and Palestinians agreed to the U.S. road map to peace, former U.S. senator George Mitchell (D-Maine) told the Class of 2003 he believed the conflict in the Middle East could be ended. Mitchell chaired the international fact-finding committee on violence in the Middle East and wrote its report, which led to the Bush administration's peace plan. Under gray skies and cool temperatures, he outlined his proposal as part of his commencement speech to the 2,202 graduates and their families.The goal, he said, is security for Israel and an independent state for the Palestinians: "Neither can attain its objective by denying to the other side its objective." But he noted that the culture of peace nurtured over the previous decade is gone. "In its place there has developed a sense of futility and despair [about] the inevitability of conflict. The majorities on both sides largely agree on the solution, but they no longer trust the other sides' intentions to reach it," Mitchell said. It's important, he cautioned, that the United States not turn away when the "inevitable setbacks occur."
This is not the first time Mitchell has headed an international group aimed at establishing peace in a war-torn region. He chaired the negotiations that produced the Good Friday peace agreement in 1998, which led to peace in Northern Ireland. It was that experience that convinced Mitchell there is "no such thing as a conflict that can't be ended."
Mitchell also delivered a more personal message to the graduates. A good education, he said, is not a substitute for a life of effort. He encouraged them to oppose any action that would deny any child a good education; to support policies that would assure clean air, pure water, and unpoisoned land for the future; and to speak out against discrimination.
He went on to encourage graduates to devote themselves to more than just making money. "The more successful you are, the more evident it will become that there's more in life. Real fulfillment in life will come from striving with all your physical and spiritual might for a worthwhile objective that helps others, that is larger than your self-interest."

A single portlet application is delivered as a war file, but that application may have many portlets within it. An accounting application might have one portlet that allows you to file, one that allows you to find tax information, one that allows you to manage receipts, and anothet that allows you to file income. All might be different portlets, but packaged together in a common war file. Many tutorials show only one portlet per war, but when you get deep into portlet programming, many portlets per war becomes the norm. -Cameron McKenzie

Wild forward Matt Kassian hasn't dressed for a game yet this season and was scratched for the 10th straight time Thursday, Feb. 7, against the Vancouver Canucks. That prompted coach Mike Yeo to have a chat with Kassian, just to let him know the Wild still believe in him.
Kassian, who has spent most of his career as an enforcer, played a career-high 24 games last season and scored two goals in a Wild loss to Montreal. He had begun to develop his game enough to see more ice time, but the Wild have enough fourth-line forwards that they haven't found a spot for Kassian.
"(The conversation) was sort of a tap on the shin pads to say, 'Hey, we haven't forgotten about you,' " Yeo said. "This guy's got a phenomenal attitude. He's a great team guy. He's been doing everything he can right now."
Kassian's odds of getting on the ice could be longer now that the Wild have acquired 6-foot-5 Mike Rupp, who provides the same kind of physical presence Kassian could offer. Yeo said it's too simplistic to assume the players are interchangeable, though.
"I think a lot of people would say, 'OK, you trade one role for a similar role,' but the reality is, that's not the way it is," Yeo said. "It might look like that on the other side, but the reality is, we brought Rupper in because of who he is, the way that he plays the game. There's a reason why Kass is here. There's a reason why we kept him here and made those decisions. It's because we really value him and think he's an important part around here.

I have thought on this one for about 2 weeks now. Maybe longer. I have had people asking me to write happier poems, different poems and others that tell me I am great with twisting dark and sad poetry. So with this one I wanted to do something a little different, I wanted to go dark, with a twist. I hope you all enjoy.

text: Yea me too. I run my brass in corn cobb media for at least 24 hours before resizing so they are clean and shiny. Just with neck sizing, you have a brass that is nearly a perfect fit for your chamber which is a positive for accuracy and consistency, but possibly could result in a hard to close or unable to close bolt if even a tiny amount of anything gets in the chamber area. At least that is my thought process. I have not been reloading anywhere near as long as many on this forum, however.

The announcement of a partnership between Google+ and Flipboard seems to have caught everybody by surprise. It represented Google working with one of the great success stories of the iPad. Not only that, but almost weekly somebody is writing about the way the Google+ social network has become "a ghost town" or words to that effect.
Bradley Horowitz, the vice president of product management for Google+ made the announcement at Le Web conference in London yesterday, as PC Magazine reports:
Tech Europe covers Europe's technology leaders, their companies, and the people and industries that support them — and their ideas. The blog is edited by Ben Rooney, with contributions from The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires.

Thanks to all who participated in April's #BigPoetryGiveaway, a chain reaction initiated by Kelli Russell Agodon.
I wish I could afford to send books to everyone who commented. All the entries went into a soup bowl, and my husband drew out two names for each book—one winner, and one backup, in case the winner didn't respond.
(Okay, so I'm kind of lousy at holding the camera still, and the reflection on his glasses makes him look a little psycho (not that there's anything wrong with that), but really, he's a nice guy. Someone you can trust to make a fair selection.)
Brian Wong won my chapbook, Wild Thing in Our Known World.
Diane Kendig won Kathleen Flenniken's Plume. I'll be sending copies to each of these winners.
If you're intrigued, both books can be found on Amazon, or can be ordered from your friendly local independent bookstore.
Thanks for coming by, and thanks to Kelli for the idea. Cheers to poetry!

Last week I boasted about my fantastic bargain back-to-school shopping skills, but yesterday I ran into a rather unpleasant surprise request – a graphing calculator. One single item busted my entire back-to-school budget. My 7th grader's Algebra I teacher sent home a syllabus and a supply list. I'd already purchased many of the items on the list - $0.20 single-subject notebooks, $0.50 composition books, $0.10 pocket folders and more.
Once my eyes scanned the line that said 'graphing calculator' I stopped. This wasn't a generic request, though, the teacher listed five different models that could be used. After a quick Google search I walked into my son's room and interrupted his Algebra homework (how fitting, right?) and told him "I have to buy you a $90 calculator!"
He laughed. I'm not joking, he turned around, looked at me and laughed. Then promptly returned to his Algebra. While I was happy to see his devotion to his math homework, I was not happy with his immediate reaction to my calculator predicament.
So, what's a dedicated mom to do? Head off to the local store to buy said calculator, what else? My Google research led me to Walmart, which had the calculator in stock and at the best price. Once I arrived in the calculator aisle I was once again left momentarily speechless; the calculator was locked onto the display rack. What? It's a calculator! Why does it have to be locked? Then I remembered, this isn't any old calculator, this is a $90 calculator.
Thankfully, a helpful associate had just rounded the corner. Although she didn't have the keys on her she told me she would be right back. While she was off looking for the keys, I decided to take a picture of the $90 calculator and send it to my son. Within minutes I was on the phone with him, where he said with a hint of excitement in his voice, "Wait, you were serious? It really is a $90 calculator."
Yes Alex, it really is a $90 calculator.

As a first generation American born of Ukrainian parents--I say Thank You!!
Nice statement. Would that follow-through were not necessary!
And now....from the people who brought you Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, almost Syria, Guantanamo, Bagram, Diego Garcia, and exclusive destinations in eastern Europe, comes the stunning discovery of *drumroll* ...INTERNATIONAL LAW! Yes, the Cool Group at NATO has finally read the UN Charter and found that it applies to Russia. The G7 leaders are firm in their conviction that interference in the affairs of other nations is not cool. So not. Unless it's them, like, the G7, then it's fighting for democracy, like we now have in Libya and Egypt. Somebody was yapping about Wilhelm Keitel being hung at Nuremberg because of the invasion of Czechoslovakia (among other things) and Vlad should know about that. The invasion of Iraq is something completely different.

Chesapeake requests flat local funding for operating budget
Dr. Viniar seeks counties' support for Center for Allied Health and Athletics
Posted on Tuesday, March 01, 2011
WYE MILLS Chesapeake College officials are requesting flat local funding for the college's Fiscal Year 2012 operating budget, which would mark the third straight year of flat funding from the college's five support counties.
The college is also requesting $9 million as the local capital share for a Center for Allied Health and Athletics, which would allow Chesapeake to access $27 million the state has already committed for a project that would address critical space shortages and workforce training needs.
"We understand the current fiscal environment all of our counties are facing significant budget challenges," President Barbara Viniar told elected officials from the college's support counties Wednesday night. "That recognition is reflected in our request for flat operating budget funding, even as rising enrollment drives increased demand for services."
Dr. Viniar said the result of those two factors flat local funding and rising enrollment have helped create a situation where local per-student funding has decreased 20 percent since FY08. State funding has decreased 23 percent in the same time period, leaving Chesapeake's students and staff to bear the brunt of rising costs. Tuition could increase as much as $9 per credit hour next fiscal year "and even with financial aid options, I worry about our students having to shoulder that financial burden," said Dr. Viniar.
The college is asking its five support counties Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne's and Talbot to commit local funding for a Center for Allied Health and Athletics that would be created by an expansion of the college's current Physical Education Building. Dr. Viniar who noted that $9 million commitment can be bonded and paid over time said this project will allow the college to create an expanded, state-of-the-art center for all of its allied health programs, including nursing. It will also renovate the college's 43-year-old physical education center, whose mechanical systems are well past their useful life.
"We have outstanding nursing and allied health programs, but the space in which they are operating is both too small and out of date," said Dr. Viniar. "We need to be able to grow our nursing and allied health programs to meet community needs, and we have to ensure our students have access to top-flight training facilities."
Dr. Viniar said the college is assured of the 75 percent state funding only if the project begins in FY12.
"If the local share isn't approved, we would then have to go back into the queue of community college projects for FY13," said Dr. Viniar. "We run the risk of delaying the project three or four years if we don't take advantage of the state funding that is available in FY12.
"The state has recognized the worthiness of this project by approving the 75 percent state funding and we hope local officials will understand the need to move forward with this project if we are to meet our region's health-care training needs," she added.
The Memorial Hospital's 2015 move from its present location where the college currently delivers nursing and several allied health programs is another reason for moving ahead with the requested renovation and relocation.
"While Shore Health has not yet revealed its plan for the facility, there really is no reason for us to have our nursing and allied health programs at that site if it is no longer a hospital," said Dr. Viniar. "The most economical and efficient solution is to bring those programs to our main campus."
Nursing students, members of other allied health programs, and student athletes were all in attendance at the budget meeting to show their support for the proposed project.

Hua Hin, Thailand: Thailand's Atthaphon Prathummanee regained his love for golf in time to shoot an opening six-under-par 66 for a share of fourth place at the US$600,000 Black Mountain Masters on Thursday.
Atthaphon was on the brink of walking away from the game after a lacklustre Asian Tour season but returned after a two-month sabbatical with a stronger mental approach which worked wonders at the scenic Black Mountain Golf Club today.
He credited his return to form after working with his coach Suang Junurai, who is also the manager in the sports department of Singha Corporation on his mental game.
"I quit golf for two months (after the Queen's Cup in June in Thailand and returned in September at the Mercuries Taiwan Masters). I was working with my coach on my mental game. Golf was starting to feel boring because I put in 100% in training but the results did not show," said Atthaphon, who has been playing on the Asian Tour since the early 2000s.
His new found love for the game resulted in five birdies and one eagle where he chipped in from seven yards on the par five sixth hole. His only blemish came on holes eight and 18 in the season-finale of the 2010 Asian Tour season.
"I feel more relaxed compared to the last six or seven years I've been playing golf. I feel more like a golfer now and realize that it isn't just about hitting golf balls but also keeping your mind strong," said the 32-year-old.
Atthaphon currently lingers in 84th position on the Order of Merit and knows he has an uphill task of breaking into the top-61 to secure his Asian Tour card for next season.
"Roughly about US$23,000 separates me and the 61st position but anything is possible. I just need to concentrate on my own game and focus more," said Atthaphon, who needs at least a top-five finish this week to have a chance.
India's Himmat Rai, currently in 75th place on the Order of Merit, also shot a 66 to give himself a shot of breaking the top-61. He fired a hat-trick of birdies on each nine.
"I've been hitting it pretty solid and putting well and when you do that, you will play well. We all know how it is at the moment (on the Order of Merit) and everyone who are not in the safe zone are trying to get in. But I'm not going to let it distract me as I'm going to try to play my best in the next three days," said the 23-year-old.
Simon Griffiths of England wielded a hot putter as he made four consecutive birdies from the eighth hole before signing off with a 66 and lamented the opportunities missed earlier in the season of securing a good position on the Order of Merit.
"I've had all my chances to secure my Asian Tour card and to leave it to the last tournament is not ideal. You just have to go out, play your best and see what happens," said Griffiths, who is currently in 66th place on the Order of Merit.
Guido Van Der Valk of the Netherlands, currently in 61st position on the Order of Merit, shot a 70 sprinkled with four birdies against a pair of bogeys and was delighted with his promising start where he reckons a top-20 finish will ensure he retains his Tour card for 2011.
"If I can put four solid rounds together and play myself into the top-10 and the top-20 then it should be enough to secure my card for next season. With a little bit of luck and good golf, it shouldn't be a problem," said Guido, who finished in tied 19th and tied fourth at the Hero Honda Indian Open and Johnnie Walker Cambodian Open respectively.

Analysis: Third Annual Pensions Survey
2012 is going to be remembered for many reasons – not least the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, the Olympics and the Paralympics. But in the pensions industry, 2012 is the year of automatic enrolment, the impact of very low gilt yields on deficits, Europe imposing sex equal annuity rates and the early stages of defined aspiration as a new type of pensions saving.
The Government threw down the gauntlet for more pensions "simplification" by putting pensions under the spotlight earlier in the year in its Red Tape Challenge. The aim is to abolish unnecessary regulations and create a regulatory regime that both supports pensions saving and is fit for the 21st century. Our survey respondents put GMP equalisation, indexation and the annual and lifetime allowances on the list for abolition as pensions regulation that has had its day.
In September the Government launched its "I'm in!" TV campaign backing automatic enrolment - not to be confused with NEST's "Tomorrow is worth saving for" social media competition, which ran in June and resulted in two adverts in the national press. However, the vast majority of our survey respondents thought that their employees had little confidence that their pensions saving would be enough to provide an adequate income on retirement. The reasons included the uncertainty of the outcome when saving into a defined contribution scheme, complacency, mistrust of pensions and a lack of taking personal responsibility about retirement planning…

The Boston Arm
Boston has a history of leading innovation in prosthetics.
In 1968, when Boston-based Liberty Mutual Insurance Company debuted its state-of-the-art prosthetic arm at Massachusetts General Hospital, newspapers across the country hailed the dawn of the cyborg. The "psychic robot limb" moved "just by thinking," reporters gushed. In a way, they were right: A motor in the elbow whirred into action when sensors picked up tiny electrical charges in the wearer's arm. They called it the Boston Arm, and it seemed to work like magic.
Boston—gifted with both world-class hospitals and top-flight universities—has remained a hub of prosthetics innovation for decades.
"In our economy we don't have a copper mine or an oil well," says Deborah Douglas, a curator at the MIT Museum, where prototypes of the original Boston Arm are on display. "We extract things from ideas, and that comes from this cross-fertilization of all these smart people in one place."
For the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings, the prosthetics landscape is very different from what it was back in 1968. Mere miles from the blast site, engineers like MIT's Hugh Herr are building cutting-edge limbs equipped with multiple computers, motors, and sensors.
But in crucial ways, the prosthetics industry isn't like Boston's other high-tech businesses. For one thing, the market for its products is small: Amputees make up less than one percent of the population, so research is driven by other incentives. In the 1960s, Liberty Mutual—then one of the biggest workers'-compensation insurers in the country—developed the Boston Arm because it was more efficient to send maimed policyholders back to work than it was to pay their long-term disability costs.
Today, the leading work in prosthetics is being driven by the Department of Defense, which funds research and development at local companies and universities. Disabled veterans get access to high-tech devices, enabling them to return to the workforce or, in some cases, to the battlefield.
Unlike other types of technology, prosthetics are competing with a prototype that's hard to match: the human body. "You think an arm is an arm," says Sandra Tanenbaum, the Ohio State University professor who studied the Boston Arm for her Ph.D. "But actually arms are lots of things, and you can only reproduce a given number of them in technology."

Old Masters Extend, Woman in Black Swaps Cast
Editorial Staff • West End • 16 Sep 2004
The play, premiered in June at Birmingham Rep (See News, 4 Mar 2004), opened at London's Comedy Theatre on 1 July 20004 (previews from 26 June) and had originally been scheduled to finish on 28 August. In July, it extended to 13 November and has now added another five weeks to 18 December.
On a summer's day in 1937 in the gardens of his Florentine villa, Bernard Berenson (played by Edward Fox), the renowned art critic and collector, is casually discussing art and world affairs with his wife Mary and his mistress Nicky. Unbeknownst to Berenson, at a nearby hotel, multi-millionaire Joseph Duveen (Peter Bowles) is preparing to bring him a priceless painting to examine – though Duveen knows this may shatter their 30-year, and highly secret, business arrangement.
The Old Masters is the ninth Gray play directed by Pinter. The pair's previous collaborations include Life Support, The Common Pursuit and The Late Middle Classes, while amongst Gray's other plays are Quartermain's Terms, Japes, Hidden Laughter, and, in the West End earlier this year with Simon Callow, The Holy Terror. It's produced by Greg Ripley-Duggan with Duveen Productions and Ted Tulchin.
Meanwhile, at the Fortune Theatre, Robin Herford's long-running production of The Woman in Black, which celebrated its 15th birthday in June (See News, 9 Jun 2004), welcomes a new cast this month. From 20 September, Brian Miller and William Rycroft will star in Stephen Mallatratt's thriller based on Susan Hill's novel.
Originally produced at Scarborough's Stephen Joseph Theatre in December 1987, The Woman in Black has been seen by over two million viewers in London alone. It has also been produced around the world in 22 countries, including Malaysia, Uruguay, Japan, the US and a US naval base on the coast of Iceland.
Young solicitor Arthur Kipps is sent to wind up the affairs of a recently deceased woman. He begins to piece together the details of her strange reclusive life, alone in a remote and mysterious house, and soon finds himself under a curse cast by the spectre of a 'woman in black'. Years later, he recounts his experiences to a sceptical young actor in a desperate attempt to exorcise his fears.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. - Christian Ponder has had an up-and-down start to his second season as quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings.
With low expectations heading into the year, the Vikings jumped out to a 4-1 start before dropping four of its last six games. Ponder showed signs of progression early on, but the second year pro has been inconsistent during the Vikings losses. Ponder sat down with KARE-11's Dave Schwartz to talk about the Vikings' season so far as well as the challenges he faces as a professional quarterback in the National Football League.

S. Sudan to move capitalComment on this story
Juba - South Sudan will push ahead with a $10 billion plan to build a new capital despite losing nearly all its revenue when it shut oil production this year, a official said, a move that will dismay donors who see other priorities in the poor nation.
Western diplomats had in the past said they hoped to persuade the war-ravaged country to drop the project and focus its limited resources on pulling its population out of poverty.
South Sudan seceded from Sudan last year under a 2005 peace deal that ended decades of civil war. It is seen as one of the world's least developed countries.
The African nation's cabinet decided last year to relocate the seat of government from the scruffy boomtown Juba on the banks of the White Nile further north to Ramciel, in a swampy region in the central Lakes state.
The new government said it needed more space and wanted to build a modern city from scratch.
The project would continue and be paid for in phases, Minister for Housing and Physical Infrastructure Jema Nunu Kumba told Reuters in an interview.
The government was open to a public-private partnership for a project estimated to cost $10 billion over 20 years, she added. "We will work together with the private sector ... All the infrastructure like the roads, the sewage, water - this is government."
One Juba-based diplomat, who asked not to be named, criticised the announcement. "Such a decision at this time of austerity will raise lots of concern ... Resources are scarce," he said.
No one was immediately available for comment from international donors and aid agencies based in Juba who have already poured millions of dollars into development projects in South Sudan.
Kumba said the government had paid $2.5 million to a South Korean company to carry out a six-month feasibility study on the new capital.
The study started in April but results were delayed because of the rainy season, she said.
The war with Sudan devastated South Sudan, leaving it with almost no industry or infrastructure outside the oil sector. Many South Sudanese hoped independence would usher in a new era of prosperity.
Instead, the landlocked country remained stuck in a dispute with Khartoum over how much it should pay to export crude through the north, pushing it to shut down its oil output in January - the source of 98 percent of its state revenues.
The two sides reached an interim deal this month that would restore exports but have not signed a final agreement.
While some in South Sudan laud the idea of the new capital, others complain it is a misplaced priority in a country struggling to provide basic services and which faces rampant corruption, high youth unemployment and multiple armed rebellions.
Kumba said the government was determined to carry on with the proposal despite the obstacles.
"For us to function, to meet the demands of the services that are needed, we need to expand offices. We need to expand infrastructure and so on," she said.
"We're not saying, if it's costing $10 billion, it will be implemented all at a go. It will be done in phases. We will only start with what we need at the moment."
The national government has also indicated it wants to avoid administrative confrontations with a state government that shares the current capital.
Kumba said a request for new land was turned down by the state government and that replanning Juba for expansion would involve relocating people from slum areas.
"The only option was to go to a complete new place where the government can be able to design the city as it wants, and also to avoid confrontation with local people and the stakeholders." - Reuters

Financial Services Industry:
Overall Trends in Management-Level Diversity and Diversity Initiatives, 1993-2004

A July 2004 congressional hearing raised concerns about the lack of diversity in the financial services industry, particularly in key management positions. Some witnesses noted that these firms (e.g., banks and securities firms) had not made sufficient progress in recruiting minorities and women at the management level. Others raised concerns about the ability of minority-owned businesses to raise debt and equity capital. At the request of the House Financial Services Committee, GAO was asked to provide a report on overall trends in management-level diversity and diversity initiatives from 1993 through 2004. This testimony discusses that report and focuses on (1) what the available data show about diversity at the management level, (2) the types of initiatives that the financial services industry has taken to promote workforce diversity and the challenges involved, and (3) the ability of minority- and women-owned businesses to obtain capital and initiatives financial institutions have taken to make capital available to these businesses. For our analysis, we analyzed data from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC); reviewed select studies; and interviewed officials from financial services firms, trade organizations, and federal agencies. GAO makes no recommendations at this time.
From 1993 through 2004, overall diversity at the management level in the financial services industry did not change substantially, but some racial/ethnic minority groups experienced more change in representation than others. EEOC data show that management-level representation by minority women and men overall increased from 11.1 percent to 15.5 percent. Specifically, African-Americans increased their representation from 5.6 percent to 6.6 percent, Asians from 2.5 percent to 4.5 percent, Hispanics from 2.8 percent to 4.0 percent, and American Indians from 0.2 percent to 0.3 percent. Financial services firms and trade groups have initiated programs to increase workforce diversity, but these initiatives face challenges. The programs include developing scholarships and internships, partnering with groups that represent minority professionals, and linking managers' compensation with their performance in promoting a diverse workforce. Some firms have developed indicators to measure progress in achieving workforce diversity. Industry officials said that among the challenges these initiatives face are recruiting and retaining minority candidates, as well as gaining the "buy-in" of key employees, such as the middle managers who are often responsible for implementing such programs. Research reports suggest that minority- and women-owned businesses have difficulty obtaining access to capital for several reasons, such as that these businesses may be concentrated in service industries and lack assets to pledge as collateral. Some studies suggest that lenders may discriminate, but proving such an allegation is complicated by the lack of available data. However, some financial institutions, primarily commercial banks, said that they have developed strategies to serve minority- and women-owned businesses. These strategies include marketing existing financial products specifically to minority and women business owners.

President Obama Showed Courage When He Took On The Health Care Industry!
Here is a great article from Jon Favreau, someone who knows President Obama quite well, having been his speech writer since 2005 when President Obama first entered the Senate. Go read it all, here are my favorite parts…
The warnings of those advisers turned out to be true. On the day Scott Brown won an upset victory in the special election to fill the Senate seat held by the late Ted Kennedy, it appeared that the chances for reform had died along with history's most passionate health-care champion. Obama's advisers told him that the votes in Congress were no longer there, and that unless he was willing to cut his losses and accept a drastically scaled-back version of his health-care proposal—perhaps a small expansion of coverage for children or a few watered-down consumer protections—the political fallout could cost him reelection. And what the president said next is why so many of us chose to work for him in the first place:
"What are we here for? Did we come here to just put our approval ratings up on a shelf and admire them? Or are we here to try to make a difference—to actually start solving some of the problems we've talked about for so long?"
Barely two months after the press wrote countless obituaries for the Affordable Care Act, Democrats in Congress showed genuine political courage by voting it into law.
Now is the time to show that courage again.
But the president should never apologize for passing the Affordable Care Act, and neither should those of us who have supported this kind of reform for years, even decades. We didn't fight for this law because it was good politics. We didn't fight for this law with the hope that it would lead to some ideological victory for big government—otherwise we wouldn't have proposed a plan that maintained the private insurance market with reforms that Republicans once championed.
We fought for this law because no other advanced democracy on Earth gave insurance companies free rein to profit by discriminating against all but the healthiest and wealthiest citizens. We fought for this law because 14,000 Americans, most of them working and middle class, were losing their health insurance every day—with no other options. We fought for this law because millions of other Americans thought they had decent coverage until their insurance company refused to pay for treatment that someone in their family desperately needed; because people died as a direct result of not being able to afford better health care.
The reason we fought so hard for this law—the reason Obama is willing to stake his entire legacy on making it work—is because so many of us have had a personal experience with the fear and vulnerability that comes with being sick.

Yeah, it definitely did take courage not to listen to his spine-free advisers. Obama should have done that a hell of a lot more often.
Then again, how much courage does really it take to get what's basically a 1990's Republican health plan passed into law when you have majorities in both House & Senate? Not that much. Real courage might have passed a single-payer plan. Decent courage could have passed a plan with a public option. Marginal courage meant not listening to your completely sackless, surrender monkey, advisers.
Perhaps the real problem is that the Democrats' "high-bar" for courage is lower than the Republicans' "low-bar". The Republicans just keep getting bolder and more ideologically pure, while the Democrats keep getting wussier and move toward wherever the Republicans were 15 years ago.
Democrats have a permanent rearguard-action strategy that ultimately can't win anything…except the odd election. But that's all that matters to strategists, power for the sake of power, not power for the purposes of doing something positive with it.

This is not even close. In Week 4, there are five teams on a bye. That's obviously wrong. Following that, the Cardinals have their bye week at the same time they play the Vikings.

Google commissioned Jeff Koons, the controversial modern artist, to create graphic images for iGoogle backgrounds. Koons' Google Doodle today features his interpretation of (chrome) tulips. "Where art thou?" asks Marissa Mayer, VP of search products & user experience, in her official blog post this morning:
"Did you notice the chrome tulips on Google's homepage today? They are part of a special Google doodle done by renowned artist Jeff Koons. And that isn't the only art appearing anew on Google today. As part of our iGoogle Artists project, we have collaborated with almost 70 artists in 17 countries on 6 continents to create special iGoogle themes -- works of art that appeal to all ages and interests."
Our response: "O Brother, Google, where art thousands of dollars going?"
Or perhaps, "O Pop, Where Art Thou?"
Most of the time, the controversy about Koons -- at 53-years old modern art's aging bad boy -- centers on whether he's a brilliant artist or the emperor's new clothes.
Jeff Koons isn't the only Google artist designing for iGoogle: non-artist artists like UK rockers Coldplay and U.S. kiddieboppers The Wiggles (shown below); fashion designers Mark Ecko (rhino logo) and Diane von Furstenburg (wife of Ask.com owner Barry Diller of IAC); architects Phillipe Starck (W Hotels) and Michael Graves; and New Yorker cartoonist Robert Mankoff.
Why in the world would a world-famous artist like Jeff Koons hire himself out for graphic design work?
It seems the multimillionaire artist and ex-husband of an ex-porn star may need the moolah.
Jeff Koons famously married a European porn star, La Cicciolina ("fleshy one"), after hiring her as his muse for photos, paintings and sculptures.
The artwork Koons spawned from their union was graphic but not graphic in a Googley design way. Think NSFW: sexually explicit in a flashy, fleshy Paris Hilton - Britney Spears - Lindsay Lohan kind of way. The only difference? Koons' sculptures starred Jeff and (as Brit wits might say) his naughty bits.
A few weeks ago, La Cicciolina, AKA Ilona Staller, sued her ex-husband, Jeffrey Koons, for $2.4 million dollars (1.5 million euros) in child support for their 15-year old son, Ludwig Maximilian Koons, according to papers filed in Manhattan State Supreme Court.
Child support payments of 15,000 euros a month were ordered by an Italian court in June 2007. Koons has only paid 191,426 euros for child support during the roughly nine year period (Oct 1998 - Dec 2007), leaving a balance owed of about 1.5 million euros.
Staller starred in X-rated films in Italy as La Cicciolina before she was elected to serve as a member of Italy's parliament for five years.
After the jump we have a two-minute clip from the Sundance Channel: fashion designer "Tom Ford on Jeff Koons" from the Iconoclast series. You can see what Jeff Koons Safe-For-Work art is all about in a SFW video.
AP reported that after their divorce in New York in 1994, Koons was given custody of their infant son. A judge ordered that the child remain in New York. In June of 1994, Staller slipped away from Koons' security guards and escaped to Italy with the boy.
When the divorce and custody issues were litigated again in Italy, Staller, an Italian citizen, was granted a divorce. After appealing, she received custody of the boy.
Koons piled up legal bills of almost $4 million trying to bring his son back from Italy. So maybe we can call this Google's "No Child Left Behind" Pop Art campaign.
Here's Tom Ford explaining the art of Jeff Koons, whose work has been displayed at London's Royal Academy, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney and at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain:

San Francisco earned its reputation as a beautiful enigma during the Gold Rush. Since then, Tony Bennett left his heart here, Humphrey Bogart roamed the streets and the world has watched in awe -- from the 1906 earthquake to the '60s counterculture revolution to the '90s dot-com craze.
A favorite among tourists, Fisherman's Wharf is known for its historic waterfront, delicious seafood, spectacular sights and unique shopping. This lively area offers a wide array of things to do and see. Visit the Maritime Museum or Ghirardelli Square, catch a ferry to Alcatraz or visit the sea lions near Pier 59. Try a taste of the local catch, like Dungeness crab or chowder in a sourdough bowl.
With its landmark cable cars, first-rate shopping and vibrant theater district, Union Square offers a buffet of San Francisco treats. Give your credit cards a workout at Neiman Marcus, Macy's or Gump's, then indulge in a crepe at a quaint Maiden Lane cafe. Most area hotels are located within walking distance of the fun, so you can catch a catnap before the evening's theater performance.
Once hidden in the shadows of a now-demolished freeway, the Embarcadero has been transformed back into a user-friendly waterfront. At the north end of Market Street, the century-old Ferry Building is a thriving gourmet mecca, with dozens of permanent shops and a Saturday-morning farmers' market. Spend the morning people-watching along the bayside promenade, then hop on a ferry to Sausalito.
Though summer is when most Americans vacation, spring and autumn are the best times to visit San Francisco. There are fewer tourists milling around, and you're apt to enjoy not only more temperate weather but cheaper hotel rates. If you can stand the fog, plan a trip in winter, when hotel rates are lowest of all and the opera and ballet seasons are at their peak.
