Edna O'Brien, reluctant memoirist
Edna O'Brien
A memoir

E dna O'Brien's literary reputation is well established, but it wasn't achieved without setbacks, including failures of understanding on the part of readers, along the way. She has always regarded herself as a serious writer but, at the start of her career, she was sometimes subjected to critical downgrading owing to her much-publicized Irish background, her concern in her writing with "women's issues", and her seemingly glamorous way of life. It was only gradually that her firm command of her narrative material came to be acknowledged, along with a singular freshness of approach that owed something to the Irish tradition of oral storytelling, and to her own fascination with the power of language.
Now we have a lively account of the way things fell out for the author – torment, frivolity, exhilaration and all. Country Girl - a new departure – is rich in insight and illumination. It gathers up all the strands of O'Brien's often fraught, distinctive and distinguished existence, and compresses them into an evocative account of her life and times. Not that we get the whole story, of course: the subtitle, A memoir, indicates a certain selectivity in the author's method, a conscious decision about where and how the emphasis should fall. She conducts her readers through formative and crucial scenes and events, all the while holding fast to a necessary composure and detachment. Indeed, she describes herself as something of a reluctant memoirist, one perhaps impelled by a late-life wish to set the record straight. A note of irony in this respect is sounded right at the beginning of the current book. In her seventy-eighth year, she says in her Preface, "I sat down to begin the memoir which I swore I would never write".
Forty-five years earlier, copies of her second novel were ceremonially burnt in the church grounds of her home village
Another irony appears in the opening section. In 2007, a plaque extolling Edna
O'Brien was unveiled near the entrance to her old home, Drewsboro,
Tuamgraney, in County Clare. It was an honour welldeserved, said an
officiating priest. Forty-five years earlier, by contrast, copies of her
second novel The Lonely Girl were ceremonially burnt in the church
grounds of O'Brien's home village. Church, family and neighbours joined
forces at the time to excoriate those innocent and beguiling works, The
Country Girls (1960) and The Lonely Girl (1962), and convict
their author of indecency and iniquity. It was an absurd as well as a
beastly business, and Country Girl doesn't make too much of it.
O'Brien has discussed her feelings about the matter elsewhere: "It all belongs to the Middle Ages", she said in a interview. "Don't you think?" Besides, when her first novel came out in 1960, we learn from the memoir, she was happily unaware of the "righteous correspondence" it occasioned between Archbishop John Charles McQuaid of Dublin and the then Minister for Justice, Charles Haughey, with both these establishment figures overwhelmed by disgust and revulsion. The Country Girls joined works by Hemingway, William Faulkner, Samuel Beckett, Seán Ó Faoláin, Frank O'Connor and many others on the country's "Banned Books" list.
Having the temerity to write a novel, and get it published, was not the first act of defiance undertaken by the young Edna O'Brien. Readers of her novels will be aware of the contretemps that followed her involvement with an older man in Dublin, the arrival of her relatives in high dudgeon to put a stop to the affair, the hasty marriage in Blanchardstown, the birth of sons, the flight to London, the author's entrapment in unhappy home circumstances in an outer suburb. It is all recounted in various works of fiction, though rearranged to accord with fictional imperatives. Whatever life experiences the novels are derived from, they have their own pungency and completeness. And the memoir, though it puts some of these experiences back in their original context, is equally artful, equally impressionistic.
The author was bombarded by impressions early on. Her country childhood was filled with primroses and cowslips, oak, ash and elderberry trees, the ruins of a big house burnt in the troubles, card games, politics, grievances, frost in the early mornings going to Mass, cycling to the crossroads, hens and Christmas cribs. Some notable absentees from the early part of her story include her three siblings, who are barely mentioned: being older, she says, "they had gone away to boarding school"; and that's about it. Parents were a different matter: father a dangerous presence about the place, occasioning alarms with his drunken uproars; mother "the hub of the house . . . . I believed that the universe resided in her being" (O'Brien put it in a story in her last collection, Saints and Sinners, 2011). That was in the beginning. The same mother, with whom O'Brien maintained an intense and complicated relationship, in her books and in reality, could be a finger-wagging prude. "I pray for you and each day of my life I go down on my knees and ask Christ that you remember the words of St Paul, 'Flee fornication'", Lena O'Brien wrote to her daughter in London, in 1970.
What she'd fled from was not fornication but churchly prohibition (among other things), but the Catholicism of her upbringing was not a particular bother for the young Edna. In her turn, she followed her sisters to a convent boarding school where the upheavals and excitements of her first novel do not take place. Instead, she fell in love with a nun. And – in the memoir – we look in vain for the schoolgirl on whom mettlesome, fictional Baba is based, before recalling the author's pronouncement to the effect that the characters Cait and Baba stand for two sides of her own personality, the bold and enterprising side on the one hand, and its counterpart, the sensitive and vulnerable, on the other. There is no incorrigible Baba, when we get to Dublin in Country Girl, to arrange a sparky social life and buck up dreamy Cait.
Here Edna O'Brien, clad in a shop coat and dispensing Epsom salts to customers of a chemist's on the Cabra Road, was plucked from behind the counter by an intriguing older man named Ernest Gebler. Her fate has arrived, and not to auspicious effect. Once they were married, Gebler came to believe he'd invented Edna O'Brien, and nearly convinced himself he'd written her books. At the same time he persisted in regarding her as "a literary flibbertigibbet", despite strong evidence to the contrary.
Part of the trouble was that Gebler himself was a writer, albeit a waning one; and once the Gebler family was established in "bleak suburbia", he was galled to find his untutored wife running rings around him in the literary sphere. There were no scenes or rows, O'Brien says, but discord was brewing beneath the surface. In fact, the marriage was collapsing. O'Brien looks back to this period in her life without resentment or anger, but with a kind of dispassionate appraisal of the position she found herself in. She notes a few of her husband's eccentricities – his fondness for a book named The Culture of the Abdomen, for example – but makes no judgements; or at least leaves her judgements unspoken. (Ernest Gebler's difficult, increasingly odd and acerbic personality is well conveyed in the memoir Father and I, 2000, by his and Edna O'Brien's son Carlo Gebler.) She knew, however, that it was time to get away, and it wasn't long before a separation was effected, with O'Brien – eventually – gaining custody of the children. Then came years of fame and acclaim, as the ex-country girl, by sheer hard work and inspiration, turned her seeming disadvantages to tremendous assets.
Samuel Beckett sat with O'Brien in a hotel room in Paris while she recovered from the effects of ingesting LSD
It was the 1960s, with all kinds of freedoms in the air, abundant sources of enrichment and diversion. Chelsea was the place to be, and, with money received for the film script of Zee and Co, O'Brien bought a house in Carlyle Square. She had many lovers and many famous friends and acquaintances: Richard Burton, Marlon Brando, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Harold Wilson. Paul McCartney came and sang her children to sleep. Samuel Beckett sat with her in a hotel room in Paris while she recovered from the effects of ingesting LSD. Numerous parties were attended and arranged. There were trips abroad, to Gore Vidal's villa near Ravello, among others. New York became a home from home. And through it all, the novels and stories continued to appear, ingenious, engrossing and atmospheric.
There's a point towards the end of Country Girl when Edna O'Brien describes her liking for being out of doors: even in winter, she says, "I would choose a bench outside a café . . . and sit there to see the world go by". Sometimes her storyteller's instinct was activated by what she saw; sometimes people came to her and told her something that planted the germ of an idea. This memoir is a record of a social rather than a working life, but we should keep in mind O'Brien's prolific output and admirable range: from rural rawness to urban expertise, from the old dark house to the glittering coteries of London and New York, all enshrined in various forms in her fictions. We can marvel at the speed with which she detached herself from the restrictions, evils, vicissitudes and encumbrances of her home ground, while displaying such a strong understanding of all its literary possibilities. She remembers everything, and much delight is in the detail, the "buds in tapers of folded green under the trees, up along the avenue", the country women wearing fur coats in summer to advertise their advancement in the world, the mice in a country classroom trotting underneath the floor with sometimes "a snout or a brown tail" peeping through. If The Country Girls, back in 1960, made an impact for both the right and the wrong reasons (because of the author's natural talent, and because she was a wayward Irish girl with reddish hair and a pretty face), it is now possible to applaud Edna O'Brien's contribution to twentieth-century literature, and to recognize that hers, from the start, was not only a timely but a prescient voice.
Patricia Craig's books include a biography of Brian Moore, 2002, and a memoir, Asking for Trouble, 2007. She is the author, most recently, of A Twisted Root: Ancestral entanglements in Ireland, which appeared earlier this year.

Read the Report from the Indian-Ethiopian Civil Society Summit on Land Investments New Delhi, February 5-7, 2013
On February 6, 2013 the Indian Social Action Forum (INSAF), Kalpavriksh, PEACE, and The Oakland Institute convened a day-long civil society summit at the India International Centre, New Delhi, bringing together activists resisting land grabs across India and Ethiopia.
The meeting was a groundbreaking opportunity for dialogue among Ethiopian small farmers and land rights activists and their Indian counterparts, providing space for those directly affected by land grabs to share their experiences, suffering, and collectively strategize to challenge institutional and corporate land grabbers.
In association with this summit, The Oakland Institute along with Indian partner groups held a press conference February 5 on the Impacts of Indian Agricultural Investments in Ethiopia.

Smoking bans pass in 3 Mo. towns, fail in 1
Wednesday, April 6, 2011
O'FALLON, Mo. (AP) — Three more Missouri towns are going smoke-free, but one isn't.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that three towns gave approval to smoking bans in Tuesday's election. But a ban in Cape Girardeau was defeated by a narrow margin.
O'Fallon voters approved the measure by a 3-to-1 margin. Springfield adopted a ban, and Webb City voters endorsed a measure in a nonbinding referendum, though the Joplin Globe reports that the mayor expects the city council to enact the ban.

Treacherous fog in the mountains
Well this is my first blog post on our new website. I thought I'd make it current and helpful.
As many of you know, our home and offices are in the beautiful San Bernardino Mountains. Route 66 has several alignments through these mountains and they can be treacherous at certain times of the year. Believe it or not, Spring can be the worst.
Yes, we get more than our share of snow, rain and sleet in the Winter but you usually get plenty of advance warning. Spring brings dense fog that can blow in quickly, reducing your visibility to almost 0 – with absolutely NO warning. You're driving along under clear, blue skies and BAM, you can't see your hood ornament. Several years ago, I had to open my door and lean down watching the yellow line as I crawled along. Talk about dangerous.
Today is one of those days, and tomorrow will be, too.
Please be careful up here. You can go to http://www.mountaininfo.com/webcams.html to see how the fog is.

Running that extra mile for others
By: Amanda Calzada Placer Herald Sports Correspondent
Developing mind over matter
Nearly 3,000 miles away from home, Eric Johnson is anticipating a day unlike any other: 1,000 of the world's fittest individuals running 10-mile laps and tackling 30 of the world's most strenuous obstacles for a continuous 24 hours. "You have to literally tear your body down to its lowest point, and then build it back up again the way you want it and become acquainted with pain. The body is truly amazing, and I think a lot of people do not realize what it is fully capable of when the proper training is completed," said Johnson. The 28 year-old financial statement auditor of Lincoln, who grew up in Rocklin, is geared up for the World Toughest Mudder Championships this Saturday, having qualified in the top 5 percent of 2011 Mudder events. Just this September, Johnson's performance at the local NorCal event ranked him in the top 5 percent of all finishers. Between 15,000 and 20,000 people competed in this event. The World's Toughest Mudder is a non-stop 24 hour obstacle designed by British Special Forces. Competitors will run laps on a 10-mile course that features 30 of the world's toughest obstacles. Potentially pain-inducing obstacles such as barbed wire require acute focus, he said. He said the race would be 90 percent mental and 10 percent physical. Johnson looks forward to the parts where he will pass spectators and hear their cheers. He calculates the aquatic exercises will be the most challenging part. "We will have to be completely submerged swimming in ice cold water and getting out and running in 20-degree weather, all soaking wet, throughout the night," he said. Johnson thinks hypothermia will be the No. 1 reason people will not complete the race. The challenge is designed to identify the toughest human being on the planet. The World Championships is capped at 1,000 competitors from all over the globe, and will take place this weekend in Englishtown, NJ. The mudder who completes the most laps in the 24-hour period will receive a cash prize of $10,000. Participants will wear timing chips, a common feature of running events. According to the World's Toughest Mudder website, only 10 percent of those who qualify for the world championships are estimated to finish. The competition's creators advise that only those with the highest caliber of physical and mental strength enter the event. Participants should encourage each other to finish the course. Prior to Mudder events, Johnson was a varsity track and cross-country runner at Del Oro High, where he graduated in 2001. He initially heard about the Mudder event from a friend at church, who wanted to organize a team for the local NorCal competition in Squaw Valley in September. He had run smaller mud runs, but this was his largest race up until this point. Johnson relishes the camaraderie of the event and appreciates the sponsorships he has received from companies such as Cliff Bar, Northwest Rafting Supply, Mountain Hardwear/Montrail, Camelback, Black Bear Outdoors, and Fleet Feet Fair Oaks/Roseville. He has held a sponsorship with Cliff Bar since January 2008 and been supported with their products and running gear. For the weekend, Cliff Bar has covered the entry fee and gear expenses, all of which total $1,300. Cliff Bar is also offering Johnson a monetary incentive of $1,000 for his performance. Johnson is a member of the Fleet Feet Fair Oaks/Roseville 2011 ultra racing team. He has also been a product tester for the new formulas, recipes, and products for various corporations, including Cliff Bear, Mountain Hardwear/Montrail, and Camelback. Such opportunities have helped him train, he said. During the first half of 2011, Johnson was preparing for the 2011 Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run and logged over 1,200 miles of running, including races distanced at 50 miles, 50k, and 100k. The ultra-runner also started swimming to develop upper and total body strength. A rigorous regime of repeated swimming in the American River and running hills while wet has strengthened his endurance, although the Jersey course will be relatively flat. Earlier this month, Johnson clocked a time of 8 hours and 20 minutes in San Francisco's North Face Challenge 50 Mile championship race. Although he has twice run the Western States 100 Mile Run, he considers himself very young in the ultra-running and racing world, and attracted by the idea of service. He remembers running 450 miles across the state of Nevada in five days along Highway 50 to raise money for a scholarship fund in the name of classmate John Garcia; Garcia passed away from meningitis. He ran with three high school friends, Scott Kirkish, Tyler Daly, and Jon Beuscher; they raised enough money to give out two $1,000-scholarships for deserving Del Oro grads. The following summer, the team ran roughly the same distance across Oregon to raise a few thousand dollars for the Firefighters Burn Institute. "I am a firm believer that God has blessed each one of us with certain talents in this life to help one another. Each one of us has talents that will benefit our neighbors if we develop those talents and share them with others," said Johnson, whose main goal is to raise at least $1,500 for the Wounded Warrior Project. The Wounded Warrior Project raises awareness and enlists public aid for the needs of injured service members, and provides unique, direct programs to do such. Those interested in supporting Johnson's cause can visit his personal fundraising page at www.ericwjohnson.blogspot.com and click the large orange square button in the upper-right hand side. All donations are directed to the Wounded Warrior Project.

In response to RedSoxFireman's comment:
Ortiz, Middlebrooks and Nava and Lavarnway are the only Red Sox players with good numbers against Verlander. Bogaerts has never face him, so please get the embarrassing Stephen Drew on the bench, his 2012 and 2013 playoff numbers are disgraceful.
Ryan Lavarnway isn't on the roster, and neither is Bradley. Mike Carp is batting zero against Verlander, with a .167 OPS. Maybe fake an accident and look for a playoff roster change loophole.
Lineup needs to be:
Ellsbury CF .587 OPS (Please play the game like Hunter and give some effort on the field)
Nava LF 1.167 OPS
Ortiz DH 1.174 OPS 2 Homers
Middlebrooks 3B 1.000 OPS
Pedroia 2B .161 OPS 1 for 18 with 1 BB v. Verlander
Napoli 1B .753 OPS
Bogaerts SS No history v. Verlander
Salty C .267 OPS
Shane RF .000 OPS in 6 PA v. Verlander
Manager John won't do it this way. He'll knee jerk Pedroia and Shane into 2 and 3, move Middlebrooks way down, and start the great fall legend, Stephen Drew.
Here are some numbers vs. Red Sox payroll ACE, John Lackey:
Austin Jackson CF .875 OPS
Tori Hunter RF .707 OPS 2 Homers against big John
Miguel Cabrera 3B 1.051 OPS 1 homer against big John the grinder and gutty starter
Prince Fielder 1B 1.111 OPS
Victor Martinez DH .928 OPS
Andy Dirks 1.300 OPS
Jose Iglesias 1.000 OPS
Alex Avila C .222 OPS
Omar Infante .624 OPS
I don't like these matchups for Game 3, unlike the Game 2 matchups that I liked much better for the Red Sox.
What I find funny is when I was calling to sign Hunter a year ago, you called him a washed up old man who was nothing more than a PT player, 4th OF profile, should retire and all that. I believe you called him a racist too. Now your singing his praises about how he plays the game to attempt to make Ells look bad?

19Corinthians' very own Swampy An angry Corinthians fan protested at his team's bad form in a unique manner back in 2003. The man, identified only as Roberto and armed with a bag full of bananas, climbed a tree outside the club's stadium, tied himself to it, and refused to come down until the team agreed to change its tactics and formation. The Corinthians players first hurled abuse and rotten fruit at the fan, but then opted for the silent treatment. Roberto stayed up there for a week, eating his bananas and throwing skins at passing players. "The players kept sticking their fingers up at me," Roberto complained.
20AngrySwazilandplayersfightfirewith,er,baseballbats?!In2003,theSwazilandnationalteam played out a disappointing draw in a World Cup qualifier against fellow minnows Cape Verde. As the team prepared to leave the ground on their coach, an angry mob of Swaziland supporters surrounded the coach and began to taunt the team. The players took drastic action, ordering the driver to stop before piling off the bus brandishing baseball bats. "In a scene reminiscent of an action-packed film, one fan ran as if he had a third lung as the players moved menacingly towards him," reported The Swaziland Times. The police eventually put an end to the hijinks.
21Drunk Dubliners turn on Captain Keano "Keane, you Cork b******, you'll be in the tabloids tomorrow," shouted the wayward Man United midfielder's assailant, following
Lehmann pulled the fan's specs off and strode away a 1997 bar brawl at the Chester Court Hotel, near the star's Cheshire home. After a home win and the discovery that his brother's partner had given birth to a girl, Keane wet the baby's head with his Cork contingent, while across the bar a group from Dublin did likewise. By half-past three in the morning, the Dublin group had moved from calling Republic of Ireland skipper Keane an "idol" and "a legend" to "that Cork s***bag". Blows were traded, and after a call from one of the group to the press, the story was indeed all over the next day's tabloids.
22Maverick Vale cyclist hurls Robbie Williams insults An unidentified Port Vale fan, anxious to convey his displeasure about his team's performances during the 2001-02 season, decided to take the law into his own hands, jumped on his push bike and "gained unlawful entry to the club's training ground". He spent the next half an hour riding around the perimeter, hurling abuse at his team, telling them to "sort yourselves out, you bunch of losers". The incensed Vale players attempted to catch him, and even drop-kicked balls at him to try and dislodge him from his bike, but the intruder pedalled fast enough to evade their predictably wayward potshots. "Robbie Williams could do a better job than you losers!" he yelled before finally disappearing.
Above If you're not careful he'll poke fun out of your barnet Below How fans made themselves heard in the days before web forums pursued Lehmann, whimpering "Die brille, die brille" ("the glasses, the glasses") as he did so. Just before Lehmann shot off in a taxi, he handed back the specs and told journalists: "It was the only way to shut the guy up." Fair enough.
24 Crazed Brazilian shoots bullets into the ball in act of revenge After spotting that the opposition goalkeeper was still saying his prayers after kick-off, Corinthians star Roberto Rivelino launched a speculative shot from the halfway line and scored with just six seconds on the clock. At this point, the hapless keeper's brother stormed onto the pitch to remonstrate with Rivelino about his "gross lack of sportsmanship." In order to emphasise his point, he ran upfield and proceeded to fire six bullets into the match ball. Wisely, perhaps, Rivelino and the other players scarpered.
25Under-fire Butch turns Lion tamer "You're not Millwall, you're Chelsea," screamed a gaggle of irate Lions fans at the club's co-manager Ray Wilkins in late 2006. The reason for their ire was the team's poor on-field performances, coupled with the fact that 'Butch' wasn't actively involved in coaching at the club. The 'discussion', which took place in the car park outside the New Den and was posted on YouTube, was initially hostile (he told them to "shut your mouths" and talked about the lack of hair on one fan's "barnet", ironically), but ever the diplomat, Wilkins soon calmed the supporters down and responded to their queries. By the end of the seven-minute face-off, the fans even applauded him. Then he got into his car and drove home. Super.
Despite the cyclist's plea, Robbie never got his chance at Vale Park
23Jens de-specs stunned fan after sending off After being sent off during Stuttgart's clash at Mainz earlier this year, former Arsenal stopper Jens Lehmann, confronted by an irate supporter outside the ground, employed an innovative way to silence his critic. The combustible Teuton pulled the fan's glasses off his face and strode away. With cameras filming the whole curious affair, the supporter – now with a buddy in tow – www.deepfreeze.co.uk

Beauty fades, but a reality TV villain's infamy is forever. As episodes of "The Hills" continue to air each morning during our RetroMTV block, some of the coolest chicks on the network are reflecting on the hit series and serving up some real talk about its cast members. And while Molly Tarlov was all about their aesthetic appeal, Nessa of "Girl Code" says in the clip below that she'll always appreciate Spencer Pratt's reliable depravity. Won't we all?
"Me and my friends get together…talk trash, especially on Spencer," Nessa shares, but adds that Spence isn't the only one she and her gal pals took delight in mocking. "There's always that one person who you can't stand… Ugh, Kristin, even though you're crazy, I still love your badass attitude."
Hate-watching was definitely a big part of the series' appeal, but Nessa admits it had some positive elements, too: sisterhood, for one, and…Brody Jenner.
"Hello, he's so hot!" she says. "Yummy."

e-Counter Plague
These are a set of 4 online simulations. You can choose whether to focus on a single class, or see what happens between two classes, when a disease is introduced. Counter-Plague Plus versions allow you to designate a number of people who are already immune to the disease.
To start, decide how many people you want in the class(es), and how many people are initially infected by the disease. Then press Next to see what happens step by step, or Run for the complete epidemic. A bar chart on the bottom right of the screen records the number of cases at each step, and how many people recover.
The rules are as for Counter Plague, so dice determine whether the infection is passed on or not. You can change the number of infections which each die number on the die produces. In e-Counter Plague 2 class versions, you can set different infection rates for the class which has the initial infection and the other class.
Green smiley faces are people who have not yet had the disease. Red miserable faces are people who are sick. Blue faces are people who have recovered and are now immune or have been immunised (in e-Counter Plague Plus versions).

Teams compete in Charity Regatta at Lake
Benefit for services to child abuse victims
Sunday, June 2, 2013
LAKE OZARK, Mo. -- Last year, High Noon sailboat owner Don Ressel and crew won the Ozark Yacht Club (OYC) Kids' Harbor Cup Charity Regatta at Lake of the Ozarks. In the first race Saturday, they claimed top victory once again.
Hailing from Rocky Mount, High Noon competed along with five other teams — Songbird, Grace, B&B, Endless Summer and Boat — during the first of two races held as part of the third annual event, which was co-sponsored by Ozark Yacht Club and Ozark Sailing Club.
Before the teams jockeyed around the cove by OYC in Lake Ozark in the noon race, they enjoyed a breakfast, skipper's meeting and course instruction and a viewing of silent auction items up for bid. The second race was held in mid-afternoon, with the event ending with a dinner and trophy and awards ceremony Saturday evening at OYC. The course took the sailboat crews around marked yellow buoys near the main channel of the Lake by Bagnell Dam.
A portion of the proceeds was donated to Kids' Harbor, a local organization that provides needed services to child victims of abuse in a 10-county region including Camden, Dent, Hickory, Laclede, Maries, Miller, Morgan, Phelps, Pulaski and Texas. Kids'
Harbor executive director Cara Gerdiman brought volunteers to assist with the event and was excited OYC selected the not-for-profit organization as a beneficiary.
"It is my first time to ever see a sailboat race, so I'm excited to watch this regatta," she said. "I am thrilled they selected us for their Charity Regatta, and we are excited to raise awareness about our organization and what we do to assist children who have been abused. I hope we are able to make this an annual partnership event."
For those sailboat crew and captains who had participated in the OYC Cup Charity Regatta before, they were also excited to return to the competition and raise money for a great local cause. For 17-year Lake Area resident and "Boat" sailboat owner and Regatta competitor John Hoerner, he enjoys the challenge sail boating at Lake of the Ozarks provides.
"I'm originally from Washington state, but I got into sail boating through friends down here at the Lake," he explained. "What is interesting about sail boating or racing sailboats at the Lake is the wind variations. The wind seems to constantly change directions and the geography makes it great but also challenging."
Hoerner, who currently resides in Four Seasons, competed in last year's event and races in many of the regattas and sailboat competitions held at the Lake. Primarily, he enjoys being able to get out on the water and also the interaction with fellow sailboat enthusiasts.
For Mike and Karen Swope, crew members of High Noon, the love of sailboats came from Mike's former East Coast lifestyle. He also finds the geography and wind variations are also a challenge with boating or racing, but he feels it has helped him gain a stronger knowledge of the sport.
"I have learned a lot from Don, the boat's owner. He is very knowledgeable," said Mike, who has been with Don's crew for about six years.
Despite the love of sailboats, the racers may also get a bit competitive. However, it is about the camaraderie, passion and fun they are having during a regatta that truly makes for a successful event.
"Each boat is measured and given a handicap based on its perimeters. So someone may come across the finish line first, but another may win depending on the final calculations with the handicaps considered," Karen explained, noting that there is winner for each race and an overall daily winner, as well. "Really it is all about having fun, and it seems like all the crews do just that."

Talkin Sax at Litchfield Jazz Fest
Outside of that, I played a lot of basketball, and thats something Ill think about and relate that to music. The obvious example is Michael Jordan. There are stories about how he never let up at practice. That was very inspiring to me. You know, like the way Coltrane would practice endlessly. And using that as an ideal to strive for has been very helpful to me.
My wife is a Presbyterian minister, and the whole relationship between spirituality and everything in my life is also a big part of the deal, and literature as well. I grew up in a small town and never traveled as a kid. But when I started traveling with [vibraphonist] Gary Burton, all of a sudden I was going all over the world and eating amazing food and meeting all these people and going to Argentina and these places with warm, loving cultures, but really strong folkloric music of their own. And that was really exciting to me. Im not an expert, but studying and participating in Afro-Cuban music and Afro-Panamanian music has borne out in my life experiences as a musician.
Bourne: The interesting thing about basketball and jazz is that in jazz there are a lot of assists and rebounds involved when youre playing with a group. Don, what are your musical and extra-musical inspirations?
Braden: Im very active as an educator. I get a lot of energy and inspiration from the levels of teaching activity—both from the students themselves and from various things that happen as an educator.
For example, I was in Siberia. We were doing a clinic. And they brought us to a school. It was May, thank goodness. And these students had prepared a presentation. I was knocked out. There must have been about 30 of them, playing all kinds of tunes—everything from challenging jazz tunes like Stablemates to Chameleon.
Bourne: Gary, you matriculated through one of the traditional, old-fashioned jazz schools. You went on the road. If you were lucky enough, you went on the road and you learned from Betty Carter, Art Blakey, Horace Silver. And you learned from the Roadfather, Woody Herman. You played with Woody Herman.
Smulyan: I did, from 1978 to 1980. That was my first experience in playing baritone. That was an aha moment for me. I never thought Id ever play the baritone in my life. I was 22 years old, a die-hard alto player. I didnt listen to baritone players very much, except for Harry Carney, because like Donny, I was deep into Duke Ellington.
The phone rang, and it was Woody Herman wanting to know if I wanted to go on the road. It was May of 1978. I was four credits away from graduating from college. I had to make a choice. Do I finish school or do I go on the road with Woody Herman? I decided to go on the road. So, I went out and bought a baritone and two weeks later, May 25, 1978, joined the band in Bridgeport, Conn., and sat down next to Joe Lovano. That was the beginning of a whole other education.
That was an amazing band because John Riley was playing drums. Marc Johnson was playing bass. He was getting prepared to audition for the Bill Evans Trio, and he actually got the gig. Dave Lalama, who was Ralph Lalamas brother, played piano. He was a fine pianist and arranger. [Multi-instrumentalist] Frank Tiberi. It was an amazing experience. I stayed in that band for two years and that was my transformation to becoming a baritone player. It was a total accident.
Bourne: The question must follow: Woody said, I need a baritone player, and somebody said, Hey, I know this alto player, who might do, and he calls you?
Smulyan: I dont know what that conversation was, but Woody Hermans pet peeve was alto players who play baritone. So, I hope thats not what they said [laughs]! Of course, every night, I thought I was going to be fired. I had no sound, no concept, no baritone nothing. I had a student Yamaha baritone with a stock mouthpiece and Im playing Four Brothers, Early Autumn, Caledonia, Apple Honey and all this incredible music. Woody Herman was incredible. But he heard something there, I guess, that he liked.
Anyway, can we get back to Siberia for a minute? Benny Goodman went to Russia in 1962. The band was great: Phil Woods, Zoot Sims, Jerry Dodgion, Mel Lewis. It was great. And they played in Siberia. So, they asked Zoot Sims, What was it like to be in Siberia with Benny Goodman? And he says, Every gig with Benny Goodman is like being in Siberia [audience laughs].

Regarding the question about supplements, we know what supplements are and what they do. They SUPPLEMENT a proper diet and training regimen. The RIGHT supplements (and at AtLarge that is all we sell, products that actually work as claimed) will give you incremental gains above and beyond that you could achieve without them. So, our HCT-12 program will provide excellent results without the use of any supplements (just like my 30 lbs to your bench in 30 days program), but if you do decide to incorporate the recommended AtLarge supplements you will realize even better results. The decision is yours. Frankly, if I were doing the program and my budget was really tight, the one supplement I would be sure to include would be RESULTS.
When this thing launches it is really going to take WBB into the stratosphere as far as online sites go. It is an amazing program without the b.s. spin that so many other companies choose to employ. In a nutshell, it encompasses all of the values Daniel and I have always shared about this site and AtLarge: no b.s., effective advice and products that will get you exactly what you want in the gym, or on the field.

MetLife Joins 2012 National Cherry Blossom Festival
The National Cherry Blossom Festival today announced MetLife'ssupport of the 2012 Centennial Celebration. MetLife joins the Festival as a Leadership Circle member of the Centennial Host Committee, the exclusive insurance sponsor of the Festival and is also a presenting sponsor of the Opening Ceremony on March 25, 2012 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
The Festival's Centennial Celebration, March 20 – April 27, honors the 100 year anniversary of the gift of trees from Tokyo to Washington, D.C. and the enduring friendship between the two countries. The Host Committee is a small group of organizations that has provided significant financial contributions and will provide high level guidance to make the grand commemoration possible. The committee is comprised of a Chair, Leadership Circle and Members.
The National Cherry Blossom Festival's commitment to cross-cultural understanding with an emphasis on Japan is a facet important to MetLife as the company's presence continues to grow globally. MetLife is a leading provider of insurance, retirement plans and employee benefits programs worldwide, with a strong presence in Japan, one of its most important markets.
"We are honored to be a Leadership Circle Member of the Centennial Host Committee and the exclusive insurance sponsor for the National Cherry Blossom Festival during this historical year," said William J. Toppeta, Vice Chair EMEA/Asia, MetLife. "The U.S. and Japan have had a long-standing friendship and the National Cherry Blossom Festival has fostered the continued goodwill and strong relations through its annual event. MetLife is pleased to be part of the celebratory events in the Washington, D.C. area as well as extending the sponsorship by creating festival-inspired events in Japan," added Mr. Toppeta.
In addition to the events occurring in the U.S., MetLife will extend the sponsorship by recreating some of the hallmark events of the festival in Japan for the first time ever, all sanctioned by the National Cherry Blossom Festival. MetLife Alico in Japan, will host a pink-tie party in Tokyo, a limited opening of a Sakura Café to celebrate the Cherry Blossom Festival and a special fundraising activity that will benefit the purchase of cherry blossom trees to be planted in the Tohoku region of Japan, which was affected by the earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. The two and a half month fundraising effort will benefit the purchase of cherry blossom trees, some of which are descended from those originally planted in Washington, D.C.
"We are thrilled that with MetLife's support, we are bringing Festival events to Japan for the first time ever," said Diana Mayhew, president of the National Cherry Blossom Festival. "MetLife's support not only helps elevate signature events in Washington, D.C., but reciprocates in Japan, and is reflective of the international friendship and cross-cultural understanding seen throughout the Festival and historic anniversary of the gift of trees."
The Centennial is a five week celebration that heralds spring and pays tribute to 100 years of blossoms with prestigious arts and culture, key environmental initiatives, and more community spirit than ever before. For a full list of events and more information, visit nationalcherryblossomfestival.org.
"We hope the planting of the cherry blossom trees in the Tohuoku region will be a symbol of renewal for this greatly damaged area of Japan," commented Mr. Toppeta. "Hosting National Cherry Blossom Festival events in Japan will also help reinforce the strong partnership of these two great nations."
MetLife, Inc. is a leading global provider of insurance, annuities and employee benefit programs, serving 90 million customers in over 50 countries. Through its subsidiaries and affiliates, MetLife holds leading market positions in the United States, Japan, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East.

pre-cruise hotel and transport for family in Venice
We are traveling to Venice in September for a cruise and would like advice on hotels and transportation for a family of 6, including my mother and our 3 young children... as well as the luggage. I remember being younger in Venice and dragging my luggage around from the train station to hotel and back again. Are there any reasonably priced hotels not too far out of town to and from which one could take a taxi (not private water taxi which seems very expensive)? Am I just in for a rude awakening in traveling with the large family? Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (USA TODAY) -- San Jose is moving closer to becoming the nation's first totally energy independent city.
The California city is pushing forward with its "Green Vision" of getting all its electrical power from clean, renewable sources, as well as diverting 100% of its waste from landfills and converting it into energy.
In mid-June, the City Council gave the green light to start negotiating plans that could lead to the nation's only organics-to-energy biogas facility. Renewable biogas, which contains methane, will help power the nation's 10th-largest city, which hopes to reduce its per capita energy use by 50% and get the remaining 50% from renewable sources, says Jennifer Garnett, spokeswoman for San Jose Environmental Services Department.
"This project not only demonstrates San Jose's leadership in the production of renewable energy but will help us meet the economic development, zero waste and energy goals of our city's Green Vision," Mayor Chuck Reed said in a statement.
After three years, the Zanker Road Biogas facility would start processing up to 150,000 tons of organic waste that would otherwise be destined for a landfill to create biogas in addition to high-quality compost that could be used to enrich local soils, says Richard Cristina, president of GreenWaste Recovery. The company is partnering with Zanker Road Resource Management to develop the biogas facility.
The biogas will be produced by the biological breakdown of food waste, as well as the organic share of the municipal solid-waste system, in a process called dry anaerobic fermentation.
The dry process, done in the absence of oxygen, is new to the USA, says Michele Young, organics manager of San Jose's Environmental Services Department.
There are similar operations nationwide, but they involve "wet waste," which is easier to recycle than dry waste, Young says. Dry waste is what usually ends up in landfills.
The proposed new technology is already in use in 12 facilities in Germany and Italy. Thirteen more are planned for this year, Young says.
The plant will be built on a 40-acre site near the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant.
The energy produced could be used to feed power to the water pollution plant, as well as sold as energy for the utility power grid.
The facility will be located between two solid-waste recovery and recycling facilities owned and operated by Zanker Road Resource Management.
The company, together with GreenWaste Recovery, plans to create a "fully integrated waste management system ecopark," Barnett says. Young says she can think of no drawbacks to the project - not even a NIMBY (not in my backyard) argument.
"A running joke we have here is that if we had a bed-and-breakfast, you're not really going to want to do that" between two waste-management plants, she says.
Zanker Road Biogas' plans will be reviewed to determine that they adhere to the California Environmental Quality Act, Young says.
The operation's impact on the habitat and neighborhood will be examined to make sure there is no imminent environmental threat.
With any project that might seem too good to be true, there are often pitfalls, says Nathanael Greene, director of renewable energy policy at the Natural Resources Defense Council.
"One challenge is dealing with leftovers with concentrated sludge containing pathogens, intact nutrients and antibiotics," Greene says.
Poorly handled byproducts could lead to leaks and runoffs that could be devastating to local plant and wildlife, he says.
"This is exciting technology," he says. "But we should not assume (it's a) technological panacea."
One of San Jose's Green Vision program goals is to create 25,000 clean tech jobs.
About 30 to 40 people would be needed to develop the biogas facility. Once the plant is fully operational, another 50 to 60 positions would need to be filled, Barnett says.

There were so many fantastic photos throughout the year. Kudos to the amazing photographers who captured these special moments through their lenses, whether through thousand-dollar cameras or a smartphone. Here are my picks for the Top 12 Most Memorable Photos of the year:
Honorable Mention – Arrested Credentialment: If I didn't know any better, I would think these three tennis stars were headed to prison. This is just a sampling of the credential photos for the London 2012 Olympics. Maybe next time, smile boys?
Honorable Mention – The Many Faces of Mr. Lendl: This image spread through the internet like wildfire and definitely gave me a good laugh. It certainly captures the essence of all (one) of Mr. Lendl's expressions.
12. Winner's Smile: This is Venus Williams after she lost to Aga Radwanska at the Sony Ericsson Open. Venus had entered Miami as a wildcard with a ranking of 134. She lost in the quarterfinals but her excellent week helped her re-break the top 100. As she left the court, she was smiling so wide – in defeat. That's a win.
11. Celebrating Responsibly: After defeating his friend David Ferrer in a very tough Barcelona final, Rafael Nadal broke open a bottle of bubbly (and sprayed his friend with it!).
10. High-Flying Winner: After winning Wimbledon, Serena displayed her excitement through very high jumps in the air. I give it a perfect 10.
9. Bumping With Bob: It was Kim Clijster's swan song at the US Open, so she partnered with Bob Bryan in mixed doubles to make the party last even longer. The two had a routine win in the first round and, on match point, Kim got to participate in one of the signature Bryan chest bumps. Bob said, of the bump, "It just happened. We had a good ending. She looked at me and I saw the look in her eyes, so I went for it. It was definitely a little softer on the impact."
8. Buried Treasure: Roger Federer got buried in the sand during vacation. It's unclear if the twins did it or one of his rivals.
7. Trophy baby: Micaela Bryan made her ATP debut when her daddy, Bob, and Uncle Mike won the Monte-Carlo Masters doubles title in the Spring. And she came dressed for the occasion.
6. Goodbye Kiss: Andy Roddick was defeated by David Ferrer in the third round of Wimbledon. As he exited the court, he turned to the crowd and blew them a kiss – an action many took as his goodbye to Wimbledon. And, in fact, it was.
5. Career Slam Celebration: Maria Sharapova defeated Sara Errani to win her first French Open title and become the 10th woman with a career Grand Slam. Her celebration epitomizes her accomplishment.
4. Incredible Hulkovic: It took Novak Djokovic 5 hours and 53 minutes to finally defeat Rafael Nadal 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7, 7-5 and win the Australian Open title. After that, wouldn't you celebrate this way too?
3. Televised Twins: After Roger Federer won his 17th Grand Slam title at Wimbledon, his twin daughters, Myla Rose and Charlene Riva, truly stole the show. They were caught on camera and snapped up making hilariously adorable faces that only toddlers can get away with.
2. Good As Gold: It was way too hard for me to choose between these two pictures. On the left, Andy Murray's leaving Centre Court after he clinched a spot in the London 2012 final. On the right, Andy had just celebrated with his box and was jumping back onto the court after clinching the gold medal. Both are fab photos, capturing such a golden moment.
1. Sports Pups Of The Year: Hard to argue against this as photo of the year. It has medals. It has dogs. What more could you ask for?

Shimano Ultegra Di2: Installing the Latest Electronic Group
Specialized Venge Pro Test Bike
4 / 13
We chose a Specialized Venge Pro frameset ($3900) for our test bike. The S-Works version of this aero frame recently took the World Championships with Mark Cavendish (and Dura-Ace Di2). The Venge's internal cable routing is Di2 ready. However, it does not have a dedicated battery mount, so it requires the under-the-bottle placement. Our 54cm frame weighed 1080 grams (50 grams heavier than the S-Works version), and the uncut fork was 400 grams (it's the same fork as the S-Works frame). The BB adapter system (included with the frame) allows the PressFit30 BB to accept Shimano cranks with 24mm axles. Specialized says the Venge Pro frame's stiffness and ride quality are identical to the $4400 S-Works frame.

I wanted to go through the rookies, with draft picks and the few
relevant UDFAs, so I'll pump through these in fairly short order.
Star met very high expectations, and was everything I hoped for out of
a top 15 draft pick. He was incredible value at the time, and remains
so. He's a building block upon which this team will be exceptionally
strong on defense, just out of deference to how he can control his gap
and what that means for the guys behind him.
2013 season performance
For a guy that size to have 3 sacks and be 7th on a very strong team in
tackles is remarkable. That he played more than 50% of snaps after an
expectation that he'd play 30%, that's pleasing. He also played a lot
of 3 technique, which again I was concerned he'd be too bottled up at NT
this season. He ended up starting at the under tackle next to Colin
Cole while ably splitting both jobs long term.
He was a powerful player, and a legitimate rookie of the year
candidate. Sheldon Richardson was likely a little bit better, but that
shouldn't take away from Lotulelei being the difference maker in
Carolina becoming an elite defense.
Longterm Prognosis?
He's going to only get better. I can't wait to have him locked in
longterm to his second contract.
You'd anticipate that he would, long term, stay in the middle since
Kawann Short is more or less only a 3/5 tech guy. But, I could
completely see Star playing a lot of 3 with Short not in the game, which
would leave the NT spot to be where the team puts more resources in
backups and rotation.
That said the difference is minimal in practice, as neither spot plays
two-gap, and if you wanted to say "situational run-stopping depth"
instead of a strict NT, there's no difference. In the end, our DTs hit
a gap and defend it, whether in the 1, 3, or 5. Doesn't matter.

FLAT ROCK, Mich. - More than 400 Ford Mustangs and Ford Fusions were built under the watchful eye of Plant Manager Eli Williams – the youngest plant manager in Ford history.
Nine-year-old Eli became Flat Rock Assembly's (FRAP) plant manager on Monday as part of an exclusive event to honor Eli's courageous fight against brain cancer.
"The plant is in capable hands," said Tim Young, FRAP's mainstay plant manager, as he transferred his title to Eli for the day with a hearty shake of his hand. "Under your leadership, the plant will build several hundred perfect vehicles, I have no doubt. Who better to run it than a Mustang enthusiast like Eli?"
And enthusiast he is. Eli's love of cars – and the Mustang in particular – has garnered attention from other fellow pony car lovers, leading to his one-day title and tour of the Flat Rock site.
First diagnosed in late-2011 with a brain tumor, Eli and his family have banded together to battle his ailment any way possible, which has included making sure Eli is energized by his favorite things. Among a wish list of trips and activities he'd always wanted to do, visiting the Mustang plant to see his favorite car come to life was at the top.
Not only did Eli get to commemoratively run the plant for the day, he and his family were treated to a guided tour of the facility to see how his favorite car comes together.
"It was awesome," Eli said after the tour, adding his favorite part was "seeing the cars built."
Eli wasn't only boss for the day, he was the team members' inspiration and hero, said Material Planning and Logistics Driver Kevin McFarland. As the Williams' rode down aisle after aisle on the plant floor, team members chanted his name and cheered.
"That was quite an experience," McFarland said, who drove the tour cart through the plant. "I'm proud of the people I work with. Everyone was stopping us and saying hi and giving him gifts and it was great. It's so heartwarming. It really lifted the spirits of the plant and I think we did a good thing."
Along with personal greetings from the plant leadership, UAW Vice President Jimmy Settles and Local 300 Plant Chairman Tony Bondy made an appearance to pass along their encouragement.
The six-member family wore matching blue tee shirts with "Eli the Eliminator" adorned across the chest and a monster truck scaling a mountain containing the word "cancer" across it.
Eli was presented with several Mustang-themed gifts including a 50th anniversary hat signed by Bill Ford, several model Mustangs and even his own plant safety vest signed by some of the team members on the line. He even got to ride shotgun as a freshly assembled cherry red Mustang convertible as it pulled off the final assembly line for the first time.
"I think all this was so phenomenal," said Victor Williams, Eli's father. "We appreciate everyone at the plant and Ford for doing all of this. We think it will really energize him. We're very blessed to have so many supporters."
The Williams' trip didn't end in Flat Rock, however. They were given tickets to that night's Pistons game, and then taken on a guided tour of the Henry Ford Museum and Dearborn Truck Plant the following day.
Eli's quest to defeat his cancer first popped up on the radar of Joe Curry, a Ford Credit employee at the company's Nashville Business Center. Curry was moved by Eli's story and his overwhelming passion for the Mustang. He passed along the family's story through company channels, ultimately making Eli's dream a reality.
"I truly appreciate everyone who had a part in this whole event," Curry said, who was invited to join the family for their two-day trip. "The employees through the plant knew his story and knew his name. They had a heartfelt spirit for Eli. I feel very grateful to be a part of it all."

In fact, a new weather record was set at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.
It was revealed in a tweet that the airport had 3.6" of rain after 4 p.m. Tuesday, which sets a one-day record at CLE.
Many area streets were partially flooded as well, causing temporary road closures.

Signs apparently separating genders by sides of the street in the Hassidic community of Kiryas Joel are causing some controversy.
The signs along Forest Road indicate that the sidewalks are segregated by gender-specific colors. While some outside of the Satmar community say they find them offensive, followers quickly took to social media in defense of the signs, saying they are "suggestions"...

Hoop Dreams
So, I read all your helpful suggestions from last week about my dilemma with toilet paper tubes on the floor and this is what happened:
Here's another story. When my kids were small and potty training I remember wondering if they would ever wipe their own butts. It was literally years of them sitting on the toilet, like kings on a throne, bellowing for me to come and wipe their royal backsides. From that point it seemed as if each of them went through a brief, THANKFULLY, period of not bothering to wipe at all. It took too much time! They were too busy! I have been very busy in my life before, but not once do I remember being too busy for that. Then came the next stage of using too much toilet paper. I remember one of my sons crying for me in the bathroom. When I went to investigate I discovered he had made himself a mitt of toilet paper. Unfortunately it was stuck on his hand. Eventually, after being shown several times, they all began using the appropriate amount of toilet paper squares.
So toilet paper tubes on the floor? It could be worse.
Tell me, how did your kids learn how much toilet paper to use? I told mine three squares per wipe and impressed upon them that it is okay to flush more than once. Just PLEASE do not clog the toilet. PLEASE.
In fact, we're keeping last week's giveaway going. Just keep sharing your ideas in the comment section here, comment on last week's post, or send in a video (link to it below or email it to contact[at]alphamom.com) and you'll be entered to win a year's-worth of Quilted Northern toilet paper and a $50 Visa Gift Card (all generously provided by our sponsor). Please keep the comments family-friendly, 'mkay? We'll be randomly be selecting the winner. Just one entry per person, please. We'll close the comments here and the giveaway next week, November 15th at 11:59pm EST.
Please join the conversation at www.facebook.com/QuiltedNorthern or on Twitter each week @QuiltedNorthern for opportunities to win free Quilted Northern Soft and Strong® and help make the taboo talkable.

Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck, the presumed Republican front-runner for U.S. Senate, is under fire from a primary rival for a comment on abortion.
State Rep. Amy Stephens, R-Monument, is seizing on reports from left-leaning bloggers who have jumped on Buck, saying he's comparing cancer to being pregnant.
In an interview on 560-AM KLZ earlier this week, Buck said he understands a woman wants to be in control of her body.
"It's certainly the feeling that I had when I was a cancer patient, I wanted to be in control of the decisions that were made concerning my body — there is another fundamental issue at stake. And that's the life of the unborn child," said Buck, noting his previous bout with lymphoma, which went into remission last year.
A political science professor said the comparison is unusual, but the brouhaha is overblown.
"It's Ken again being Ken," Stephens, who is among several Republicans vying to unseat U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, insisted Thursday. "Just like in 2010, we have high-heels comments, we have alcoholism and homosexuality, now we've got cancer and pregnancy."
Buck in 2010 was the nominee for U.S. Senate against Democrat Michael Bennet. His statement on "Meet the Press" comparing homosexuality to alcoholism was considered the turning point in a campaign he had been expected to win.
"It is a bit of a head-scratcher, linking decisions on health care — whether cancer, heart attack, arthritis, gunshot wounds — to the reproductive issue," said John Straayer, a professor of political science at Colorado State University.
But, he added, the hoopla from left-leaning critics and Stephens is overblown.
Tim Griesmer, Buck's campaign manager, agreed.
"Ken was asked about his position on abortion and stated that he is pro-life," he said of his candidate, who in recent polls is the clear front-runner in the pack of Republicans vying to unseat Udall.
Both Buck and Stephens oppose abortion.
On Thursday, Buck's wife, state Rep. Perry Buck, co-sponsored a measure that would outlaw abortions in Colorado. Democrats attacked the legislation as out of touch with Colorado's female voters.

The Spirit of Geert Wilders
Mark Steyn, National Review
AP Photo
When I was asked to write a foreword to Geert Wilders' new book, my first reaction, to be honest, was to pass. Mr. Wilders lives under 24/7 armed guard because significant numbers of motivated people wish to kill him, and it seemed to me, as someone who's attracted more than enough homicidal attention over the years, that sharing space in these pages was likely to lead to an uptick in my own death threats. Who needs it? Why not just plead too crowded a schedule and suggest the author try elsewhere? I would imagine Geert Wilders gets quite a lot of this.
And then I took a stroll in the woods, and felt vaguely ashamed at the ease with which I was willing to hand a small victory to his ...

Pilot Gold Inc. (TSX: PLG) ("Pilot Gold" or the "Company") has signed and closed a definitive purchase agreement (the "Agreement") to sell 100% of its Regent exploration property ("Regent", or the "Property") to Rawhide Mining LLC ("RMC") for $3 million in cash.
Pilot Gold will retain a net profits royalty of 15% on the Property and is entitled to a sliding scale gold equivalent bonus payment (the "Gold Bonus"), each of which is payable in certain circumstances after RMC has achieved production at the Property.
"Regent's divestiture allows the Company to add to its strong cash position while the royalty potentially offers exposure to production for Pilot Gold, as RMC intends to integrate Regent into its existing mining operations," said Matt Lennox-King, President and CEO, Pilot Gold.
Transaction highlights:
Non-refundable payments to Pilot Gold of $2 million received at closing and $1 million payable six months following closing
