The Maryland Terrapins are moving from the ACC to the Big Ten, bringing up all sorts of nostalgia for the conference they were a part of for 61 years.
Those great memories can never be erased, but it's important to note that Maryland is not leaving a conference where so many of those great moments were created.
The Terps played Duke and North Carolina in basketball just once this year, and both games were on the road.
Maryland's rivalry with Virginia was erased by the conference, as they are being paired with Virginia Tech. The new rivalry set up by the ACC is with Pittsburgh, which could have blossomed in the future given the Ravens-Steelers and Capitals Penguins grudge matches.
The constant expansion of the ACC, which was a necessary evil to protect the conference from going the way of the Big East, destroyed everything that made it special.
Basketball in the ACC from the 1970's through the early 2000's was terrific. There were so many loaded teams and every game was big.
Watching Maryland play Virginia Tech, Notre Dame, Miami, etc. in basketball does nothing for me, and it's just further watered down the conference.
There was nothing better than the round-robin format, where all nine teams in the conference had to play each other home and away. Now, the uneven schedule gives certain teams an advantage and puts others at a disadvantage.
Maryland fans also won't miss the fact that the conference, particularly in basketball, was so centered on the teams from North Carolina. Whether it was the constant benefit of the doubt from officials for Duke and North Carolina or the fact that the ACC tournament always seems to be in downtrodden Greensboro, Maryland was constantly drawing the short straw.
The Big Ten is right there when it comes to the argument over the top basketball conference in the country. The Comcast Center should see an attendance bump from the move, and the Big Ten tournament will likely find its way to DC, New York and maybe even Baltimore, if a new arena is ever built, on a regular basis.
For football, it will actually help with recruiting and it will increase revenue with more fans in the stands. Even the lacrosse team will fare quite well in the new Big 10, which is set to add Johns Hopkins.
The cash infusion from joining the Big Ten combined with the fact that fans won't be stuck watching games on ESPN3 anymore is a big deal.
It will certainly be weird, an adjustment and going to take awhile to get used to, but the ACC that many regret leaving died a long time ago.

This blog is about the relationship between organizations and the people who work for them and the communities they operate in. And, it's dedicated to the 100s of millions of people around the world who go to work every day wanting to do a great job.
A case of "internal communication deficit disorder".
This week a Canadian University was diagnosed with internal communication deficit disorder. Though not rare, the disorder is almost always fatal if left untreated.
Concordia University is an institution I know well. It's 45,000 students studying in over "300 undergraduate and 200 graduate programs" are at the centre of the downtown community I work and live in. I studied and graduated with my MBA from there; began studies for a PhD there; taught there; consulted there; worked with a student intern and volunteers from there on an urban farming project. And it's an institution that has seemed sick at the core for some time; perhaps even further back than the Fabrikant murders in 1992.
Last year, for the second time in 3 years the President left before the end of their contract. After considerable bad press and internal finger pointing, the interim President, Dr Frederick Lowy, asked an external committee to review the governance of the university. This week, Concordia University received the report "Strengthening governance at Concordia: A collective challenge". The review pulls no punches in reporting the situation and recommending changes to all aspects of governance.
Among other things, the review panel reported that the university was "…blatantly deficient internal communications"… had created "…a lot of distrust, often bordering on mutual contempt, between the various communities of the University." And that "…the chorus of negative response [to the most recent President's departure], the depth and even the fury of that response could only have arisen in a context where long simmering governance and internal communication problems between the Board and the University community, to say nothing of other outstanding matters, had neither been addressed nor resolved." The report reflects my experience and understanding of the good [and there is a lot of good there], bad and the ugly of Concordia.
Today, the University has a decision to make: Â To take the recommended course of treatment for internal communication deficit disorder or not; to act on the letter and spirit of the report and its 38 recommendations or not.
If they do, it won't be either a quick or easy recovery but recover they will. Â Concordia has an opportunity to change how they do things. Â To become a place where the board, faculty, administration, and students work together to create a unique and compelling experience for those who want to study and learn, to teach and do research, to invent and explore new ideas. Â In the end, this report and its recommendations are less about fixing something that is broken and more about supporting Concordia in becoming the great institution it has always had the potential to be.
As a neighbour, alumnus and friend that's my hope.

THE pop icon from Newton-le-Willows is back with a series of his greatest hits for fans wanting a taste of the 1980's.
Rick Astley's chart topper, Never Gonna Give You Up, opens the album, which consists of the memorable and the not-so-memorable releases of the cheesy solo artist.
The 16 tracks are certainly for the light-hearted who were fans of the singer.
Those more judging may not appreciate the deep lyrics of Hold Me In Your Arms and It Would Take A Strong, Strong Man.
His Greatest Hits CD is unlikely to break records, but is sure to be a must for all Stock, Aitken and Waterman fans.

Mre. Maggie (Clark) the beloved
wife of Mr. John V. Caruthers,
died at his home near the Hospital,
Saturday, January lith, at 3 o'clock
As we gathered with her kindrec
ones and many friends on Sunday
evening to manifest our sympathy
for the broken hearted husband and
dear little daughter, Louis, four
years old, and to pay a' tribute of
respect to the departed wife ant
mother, looking upon the casket in
which her wasted form was incased
for burial, we were led to inquire
why is it so that the loveliest, the
purest, the best, are so early taken
away? The thought came, they
are better fitted for the happiness,
the peace and the purity of heaven,
thau for the storms and troubles of
this life, hence God in mercy and
love takes them to himself. The
gateway to heaven is through the
dark portals of death, but to those
who had loved and trusted in Christ
as she has done, ''there is light in
the valley." Maggie, early, with
two sisters and three brothers, was
left an orphan. She was tenderly
reared in the family of Mr. Tom
Richardson, of this couuty. Ar
riving at womanhood, she secured a
position as attendant at the Western
Hospital for the Insane. Here she
won the heart, and live years ago
before the altar, pledged to be
loving and true wife to him who
now so deeply mourns her death.
May the remembrance of the many
christian .graces that adorned her
beautiful life be a solace to hi
wounded heart aud inspire him to
train the dear little daughter to
walk in the footsteps of her sainted
Sister Caruthers was for several
years a member of the M. E. Church

It seems to be official. Brad Pitt's new Zombie movie "World War Z" is (to date) his top grossing film. On Aug. 11, 2013, The Hollywood Reporter covered the story, noting that the movie star had done nothing short of pulling off a miracle by producing, directing, and starring in the mortifying thriller.
THR reports,
Over the weekend, the worldwide total for his zombie tentpole World War Z grew to $502.6 million, surpassing the $497.3 million earned by historical epic Troy.
From Paramount and Skydance Produtions, World War Z is one of the summer's few success stories. The movie has grossed $197.4 million domestically (also a best for Pitt) and $305.2 million at the foreign box office.
"World War Z" may have been his most successful film to date not simply because of the famous Hollywood actor's star power but because it combined all the elements of a science fiction cult classic film with special effects from modern day. The film itself had an engaging storyline -- one with an element of believability in modern day.
Because the emphasis was on Zombies, the movie captured the attention of the masses. However, when movie goers watched and back peddled in their seats while expecting gore, no real gross parts aired. Whenever a tense moment boiled up, there might have been a sensational sound effect or two that hinted about what gruesome sequence of events unfurled, but aside from watching what looked painful [a person turning into a Zombie after being bitten] the film featured no real gore.
To that end, movie goers of all ages were able to enjoy the thriller without leaving the theater feeling like they could never un-see something violent, graphic, or disgusting. While the sound of gnashing teeth will forever now sound creepy, people remember more about the storyline after seeing the flick than they do about watching Brad Pitt play the hero in any of the movie scenes.
That's what makes "World War Z" so unique. Compare the film to "Troy" and you can hardly remember anything about that film except how fit and trim Pitt looked in a toga back then. But with his new top grossing film, if one did not know better they might marvel at the very real fact that he was actually in it.
As for Zombies grossing top summer blockbuster earnings, Paramount's hit was definitely a sleeper. Coming on strong right out of the gate and appearing to be the film's biggest rival for ticket sales was the new Marvel Comic film "The Wolverine". Comic Book Movie says, "The Hugh Jackman [comic book superhero movie] has grossed over $300M worldwide, while Brad Pitt's zombie thriller has crossed the $500M global mark."

A Day in Aldine Combee Park
Published: Thursday, August 30, 2012 at 8:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 30, 2012 at 8:58 p.m.
Aldine Combee Park is essentially three parks in one.
WHAT: Aldine Combee Park.
LOCATION: 1140 Fish Hatchery Road, Lakeland.
HOURS: 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.
FEATURES: Four baseball fields, a screened pavilion and a horse arena.
The northern section of the 19.5-acre park is a recreational zone, with four well-maintained youth baseball fields arranged in a clover pattern.
The western segment serves as a picnic area, where a large, screened pavilion sits amid shade-casting oak trees.
It's the southern sector of Aldine Combee Park that makes the place distinctive. That's where visitors will find a horse arena, a clay expanse that hosts rodeo competitions many weekends throughout the year.
The park, located in the Combee Settlement area just outside Lakeland's eastern boundary, is one of three county facilities where rodeos are held, recreation superintendent Derek Harpe said.
The park, at 1140 Fish Hatchery Road, between U.S. 92 and Saddle Creek Road, honors the memory of Aldine Combee, who served as a county commissioner from 1956 until his death in a vehicle accident not far from the park site in 1971. He was one of many descendants of a family that ranks among the earliest white settlers in what is now Polk County.
A marker near the park's entrance features a picture of Combee wearing, appropriately enough, a cowboy hat. Combee served as "monarch" of Sesame Grotto, an organization that for years held an annual rodeo to benefit cerebral palsy patients.
The horse arena, a wide expanse of clay, has covered seating on two sides and another covered area for announcers. An array of metal-framed holding pens for the animals runs along one end of the arena.
Harpe said local organizations conduct rodeo competitions involving both children and adults. The Combee Rodeo Association regularly hosts events at the park.
On a recent weekday afternoon, the only people to be seen in Aldine Combee Park were two county workers.
A small creek divides the rodeo area from the baseball fields, home to the East Lakeland Dixie Youth Baseball League.
The original pavilion was demolished, and a replacement opened to the public earlier this year. The spacious pavilion is available on a first-come, first-served basis, Harpe said, and can also be reserved. The cost is $75 for the first four hours and $15 per hour after that, and reservations must be made at least two weeks in advance.

Frugal Fun in Denver, August 13, 2011
The kids are already back in school. Am I getting old? When I was in school we didn't have to go back until after Labor Day. Anyhew…the fun doesn't have to stop. Here is the list of free, fun stuff to do in Denver this weekend. It looks like all the free fun to be had occurs this Saturday.
2nd Annual Antique Row Summer Fest
Saturday, August 13th
1200 to 1800 S. Broadway
I guess last year's fest was so successful, despite the recession, that they are doing it again. The Antique Row Summer Fest combines "Antiquing" with music, food, sidewalk sales and raffles. Antique Row is located on South Broadway between Evans and Alameda. It is sprinkled with various antique stores ranging from kitschy to sleek Scandinavian. Like looking but not interested in buying? There is a large ARC Thrift store and the Halloween popular Flossie McGrew's along the stretch. You'll find their prices slightly more agreeable for your budget.
Enter in the raffle for a $1000 shopping spree, peruse the sidewalks (some stores are offering up to 50% off) and listen to live music. From 1:30 to 3:30, Stanley Milton's Mean Streak will be playing in the parking lot in front of Turn of the Century Antiques (1475 S. Broadway). World Class Accordian Player Ron Tomocik will be visiting several stores along the row as well. Check out the vintage Scooter Display at Spencer House Antiques (1420 S. Broadway). Bring your old tchotchkes to Finders Keepers at 1451 S. Broadway for a complimentary evaluation between 1pm and 3pm.
Street parking is plentiful and free. For more information, click here:

Local officials could not confirm last week if Rutherford County has been selected as a site for the much-publicized amazon.com warehouse, but is still a possibility.
The City of Murfreesboro received a plan submittal Thursday afternoon for a million-plus square-foot facility on Joe B. Jackson Parkway, according to Chris Griffith, city engineer.
He said the item is on the city's Planning Commission agenda for its 1 p.m. meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 19, in room 218 of City Hall.
However, Griffith said this isn't a guarantee that Murfreesboro has been selected for the Amazon site. He pointed out that when the city was in the running for a FedEx facility some years ago, the company also submitted plans to multiple cities.
Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce President Paul Latture said Friday afternoon that he could not confirm if Amazon has chosen Murfreesboro.
"We have not been officially told that we are one of the sites. We have not been told we are eliminated either," he said.
"We are continuing to work with them and hopefully bring one of the operations to Rutherford County. We understand the decision will be coming later – maybe even three to four weeks later."
City officials have been closed-mouthed about the negotiations, simply referring to them as "Project Tango." But that didn't stop Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam from confirming in a press conference last week that Amazon and Project Tango are one and the same.
In the same press conference, Haslam announced an agreement with Amazon resulting in the company's subsidiaries creating 3,500 full time Tennessee-based jobs with benefits, thousands of seasonal jobs. Additionally, the company is making a $350 million in capital investment by maintaining the previously announced projects in Hamilton, Bradley and Wilson counties and additional projects in Tennessee.
Rutherford County's Industrial Development Board has offered competitive tax breaks to bring the sort and non-sort facilities to the La Verge and Murfreesboro.
Amazon's commitment last week represents 2,000 more full-time jobs than were originally announced in Hamilton and Bradley counties.
"We are proud that this worldwide brand has chosen to make a significant investment in Tennessee and is committed to expanding its presence here," Haslam said during the announcement. "This agreement balances meeting the needs of the company and the needs of the state by providing certainty to Amazon and brick and mortar retailers in Tennessee regarding sales tax."
While the jobs are certain, no announcement has been made as to the permanent location of Amazon's sites.

College Hockey:Recruiting revisions being discussed by NCAA Rules Working Group
The NCAA on Tuesday published a report on how proposed changes to their rules would affect recruiting practices, with hockey at the forefront of these proposals.
To start, coaches could send unlimited text messages and other forms of electronic communications if a recruiting rule proposed by the Rules Working Group is approved in January by the Division I Legislative Council.
As well, the proposals would lift restrictions in all sports on the frequency and modes of communication and would also allow men's hockey coaches to begin off-campus recruiting and have off-campus contact on June 15 following the completion of a recruit's sophomore year.
Another proposal would limit a school's recruiting materials to general and electronic correspondence (such as brochures or emails with attachments), but would lift many of the restrictions on printed and electronic general correspondence (such as ink color). Personalized recruiting materials and those created solely for recruiting purposes are still prohibited.
A third proposal would allow recruiting communication to start Sept. 1 of a recruit's junior year, except in basketball, football, men's ice hockey, swimming and diving, cross country and track and field. The recruiting communication date would not change for those sports as they already have set or are considering earlier start dates in separate legislation or proposed legislation.
Off-campus recruiting dates would not change for any sport.
And in the ever-changing battle for recruits with major junior players, the report stated that there is now another change for the NCAA.
"Feedback from men's ice hockey coaches indicated strong support for both a consistent recruiting start date and deregulation of the restrictions on modes and frequency of communication," according to the report. "Traditionally, men's ice hockey coaches have favored an earlier recruiting start date because they compete for student-athletes against various junior leagues and athletes who participate in such leagues (such as the Ontario Hockey League, Western Hockey League and the Quebec Major Junior League) can jeopardize their eligibility."
The next step for the above proposals are for them to go before the Legislative Council for an initial review later this month. Per the Division I legislative process, proposals will not be considered adopted until the Board of Directors has met and had the opportunity to discuss them.

If nothing beyond the nawabi culture or kebabs is known to you about the city Lucknow, then you have to get yourself on the task of discovering the city more. Many of you would not be aware of the growth, this Indian city has been heading towards, since the last few years. The advent of technology, which is prevalent all across the nation is even found in the Lucknow's job market. Besides, the major businesses that have been contributing well to the job creation in the city are banking, financial services, retail, real estate, and manufacturing.
As per an Assocham study, Lucknow was among the top cities that made Uttar Pradesh witness a significant rise in the job creation including the entry level positions. Out of all the six major cities in UP, Lucknow was on the top with 46% share in the new job creation. Lucknow even witnessed an increase in the entry-level opportunities, which was recorded to be over 39% in the year 2013. As per the report, most of these jobs in Lucknow were from academics sector, BFSI, construction/real estate, engineering, ITeS, telecom, automobile and FMCG. However, the chief employers in the city are the government departments. Besides, the emerging businesses and the start up trend in the city seems to be pacing up. This brings new hopes for the young graduates in the city and many opportunities for them to find suitable jobs in Lucknow.
Further, if we look at the growth avenues of the capital city of Uttar Pradesh, a lot is there to be discussed. The trade and manufacturing have always been the major elements of the city's markets and the trend still seems to be existing. The existence of companies like Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Tata Motors, Eveready Industries and Scooters India Ltd. Prove this. Besides, many small & medium scale industrial units are located at varied locations in Lucknow. Coming on to the developments demanded by this era, Lucknow has also been gifted a Software Technology Park, which was set up in 2001. A biotech park is also being developed in the city.
Education is another major sector that makes it a prominent destination among the students as well as the job seekers. Those seeking jobs in the education sector can look forward to the institutions like Lucknow University, Gautam Buddh Technical University (GBTU), Central Drug Research Institute, IIM Lucknow, Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Science (SGPGI), and Sardar Patel Post Graduate Institute of Dental & Medical Sciences (SPPGIDMS).

Last week, Scuba Diving magazine released the annual "Reader Ratings" issue. The island of Bonaire continues to generate strong positive response from the diving community worldwide. In fact, for the 21st straight year, Bonaire was named the Top Shore Diving destination. Anyone who has ever traveled to the island understands why it's so popular with scuba divers of all ages and skill levels.
A few days ago, we spoke with Brenda Yorke, a local Bonaire photographer and owner of H2OVisions Bonaire and talked about some of her favorite shore diving sites. Yorke also shared some photos that highlight some of the sights and creatures that can be seen at these popular dive sites.
"There are more than 60 dive sites on Bonaire. Most of them are easily accessible from the shore," Yorke points out. "It's not easy picking one site over another. Here are some of the sites that I have enjoyed over the years."
Red Beryl – Located on a large sandy strech along the shoreline, Red Beryl offers an excellent spot for seeing large schools of fish feeding on plankton brought up the dropoff by the currents. The large Elkhorn Coral formations also provide an excellent backdrop for photographers. Depth 30-100 feet.
Salt Pier - The Salt Pier offers excellent wide angle opportunities with lots of growth on the pilings and schooling fish under the shadow of the pier. Depth range is 40 to 70 feet. Access is available from boat or shore but if diving from shore you must get prior permission. You should be able to do this through one of the local dive shops but check first in case rules have changed.
Corporal Meiss - Corporal Meiss dive site is one of the central dive sites. Corporal Meiss has a long, narrow beach with quite a lot of sand and shade from overhead trees. The reef ends at a depth of 30 meters (98 feet) and gives way to a gradually descending sandy floor. The best diving is between depths of 10 and 20 meters (33 and 66 feet) where you can see the greatest variety of corals and sponges.
Something Special – Located just south of the marina entrance, this is a shore or boat dive for the beginner. Currents are mild and the depth is from 20-80 feet. There is very little coral growth, since this is one area where sailboats are allowed to anchor. However, the fish life is abundant, with a sandy bottom where rays are often seen. Great for night diving.
La Dania's Leap - Known for the practice of "leaping" off the shore and then doing a drift dive to Karpata. With light currents and depths of 15-100 feet, La Dania's is one of Bonaire's few vertical walls, with numerous canyons and sand shoots.

Four of the first five times the DeSoto Thunderbirds touched the football Friday night they scored a touchdown. The Lee Academy Cougars provided almost no opposition as the T-Birds rolled to an easy 53-0 victory here. Griffin Christine set up the Thunderbirds' first score when he fell on a Cougar fumble at the 4-yard line. On DeSoto's first play from scrimmage, Bradley Harper pounded the ball into the end zone and at the 10:41 mark of the opening quarter DeSoto was up 7-0. On the second play of the T-Birds' second possession, Reed St. Columbia raced 25 yards for the score. DeSoto's third touch of the night resulted in a 24-yard touchdown run by Harper. That score came with 3:52 to play in the opening quarter. DeSoto's fourth and final TD during the first 12 minutes of play came on a 40-yard run by Christine. The Thunderbirds added two additional scores in the second quarter. Harper picked off an errant Cougar pass and returned it 38 yards for six more points. That score came just nine seconds into the second quarter. Leading 33-0, coach Bill Beck sent in his second unit for most of the rest of the contest. That didn't slow the rolling Thunderbirds down much. Jake Halbert's 8-yard scoring run with 8:40 to play before the half officially kicked in the Mercy Rule. DeSoto led 40-0 at the half. The entire first 24 minutes of action took place on Lee Academy's side of the midfield stripe. The Cougars and T-Birds played through a scoreless third quarter. DeSoto put the exclamation point on the win with a pair of touchdowns in the final quarter. Tyler Warfield scored on a 14-yard run with nine minutes to play. Less than five minutes later, the T-Birds scored their final TD of the night on a 20-yard interception return by St. Columbia. DeSoto, 6-0, 2-0, will face the Kirk Academy Raiders, 1-4, 0-2, at Sam Howe Field Friday night.

Interesting flip of the track here as the sound is sort of morphed into a 2010'd Craig David/Daniel Bedingfield kind of feel. Tell us you hear […]

Today, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Rep. John Sarbanes wrote an OpEd at the Washington Post touting a bill, the "Government by the People Act (H.R. 20)."
The proposed legislation seeks to undo the Citizens United v. FEC ruling which has been a thorn in the side of progressives ever since the Supreme Court ruled in 2010 that political spending was "a form of protected speech under the First Amendment."
Although the "Government by the People Act" innocently claims to want to get big money out of politics, the real goal is to smash the Tea Party (as well as pro-Israel, pro-life, and other similar groups collectively referred to as the "Tea Party.")
This legislation is the direct result of a secretive, well-financed progressive plot hatched shortly after President Obama's re-election in 2012.
Sound like a conspiracy? It is.
The meeting was described by Andy Kroll of Mother Jones, who wrote that "three dozen of the most powerful groups in liberal politics met [for an 'invite-only and off-the-record' meeting] at the headquarters of the National Education Association (NEA)." During the meeting, they pledged "millions of dollars" to actively work on three specific goals, one of which was "getting big money out of politics."
The meeting led to the Democracy Initiative. According to their website, the conveners are the Communications Workers of America, Greenpeace, the Sierra Club and the NAACP.
The endorsers of the plot can be found here, and include MoveOn, SEIU, Demos, U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) among many others.
Kroll explains,
"At the end of the day, many of the attendees closed with a pledge of money and staff resources to build a national, coordinated campaign around three goals: getting big money out of politics, expanding the voting rolls while fighting voter ID laws, and rewriting Senate rules to curb the use of the filibuster to block legislation. The groups in attendance pledged a total of millions of dollars and dozens of organizers to form a united front on these issues…" [emphasis added]
The fear that conservative groups would have access to funds typically granted to progressive groups and unions was too much to bear. In fact, the Citizens United ruling came at right around the time that the Internal Revenue Service started targeting conservative groups.
As revealed by Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post,
"The targeting of [conservative] groups began in early 2010, after the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. FEC was announced on Jan. 21."
Many of the same politicians and activist groups involved in the Democracy Initiative pressured the IRS to scrutinize the Tea Party before Lois Lerner "spontaneously" apologized for the targeting in May, 2013.
A detailed history of the IRS targeting can be found at Tavern Keepers.
Although politicians and progressive activists will tell Americans that they want to reverse the "Citizens United" ruling to "get big money out of politics," it is really about doing something, anything, to destroy the Tea Party or weaken the movement.
Consider the following from a New York Times OpEd on the Citizens United ruling:
"Unleashed by Citizens United, a handful of renegade billionaires made life miserable for Mitt Romney, the establishment candidate.... [and] turned the primary process into an open contest, giving full voice to the more extreme wings dominated by the Tea Party and the evangelical right." [emphasis added]
Does the concern here over the "Citizens United" ruling seem to be about "big money in politics?"
Or this, at the Huffington Post,
"The 2010 Citizens United decision and a subsequent lower court ruling opened the door to unlimited independent electoral spending by individuals, corporations and unions. Very conservative groups seized on the opportunity to pump more money into Republican primary elections and ultimately managed to elect some of the stars of the current crisis, including Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.)." [emphasis added]
The Tea Party has shaken up the establishment, and there have been numerous efforts by democrats and republicans to destroy the grassroots movement.
The Huffington Post reported today,
"Sarbanes' bill has received strong backing from a large coalition of progressive, reform, labor and environmental organizations, including the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, Communications Workers of America, Service Employees International Union, the NAACP, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and the Teamsters."
What a coincidence.
For an inkling of just how inextricably linked progressive activists are with elected Democrats, consider that Rep. John Sarbanes, one of the authors of the "Government by the People Act" took part in a so-called "Grassroots Democracy Virtual Teach-In" along with MoveOn, Demos, Sierra Club, NAACP, and Communications Workers of America last month.
He even mentioned the meeting on his Facebook page.
Other recent plots to destroy the Tea Party include a bizarre class-warfare strategy touted by Senator Chuck Schumer, as reported at Liberty Unyielding, and an insidious proposed IRS rule, as reported at the Examiner.
Speaking of the proposed rule, professor of law at the University of Tennessee Glenn Harlan Reynolds wrote an article for USA Today saying in part that "...the Obama administration is currently changing IRS rules to muzzle Tea Partiers."
He wrote,
"And that's Obama's legacy: a government that makes paranoid conspiracy theories seem possibly sane."

Fox News this week explained to spring breakers who were at the beach the difference between "good" and "bad" cocaine with guest 'expert' Bob Beckel who has discussed how religion helped him overcome his own habits. The menagerie of girls flashing their breasts and young men gawking at them is played for its shock value before Beckel explains:
"Now the problem is they're mixing it up with something called 'Molly,' which is -- it's different than ecstasy -- and it caused two deaths here in New York because it dehydrates you a lot," Beckel explained. "To funnel that kind of beer down, I could do that. I could do a lot of those. You put somebody who's not used to drinking like that and you're going to get an alcohol poisoning case sooner than later."

Karlos Dansby misses second Dolphins practice
Karlos Dansby is four tackles away from getting 100 stops for the fifth time in his NFL career, but the odds of the Miami Dolphins' starting inside linebacker doing so this week are decreasing.
Dansby, who has been bothered by a turf toe problem and a injured wrist for the past month, sat out his second straight practice this week, missing the team's second day of preparation for Sunday's home game against the Detroit Lions.
During the Tony Sparano era I personally can't remember a player missing all week of practice but playing on Sunday. And that includes left tackle Jake Long, whose left shoulder was acting up before the Nov. 18 loss to the Bears. He practiced on a limited basis once that week and played.
If Dansby doesn't suit up on Sunday Tim Dobbins will likely make his fifth start of the season, becoming the inside linebacker paired with Channing Crowder. Dobbins has contributed 30 tackles and one sack this season.
This season Dansby has contributed 96 tackles (79 solo), three sacks, forced two fumbles and broke up four passes, becoming the playmaking inside linebacker the Dolphins sought when they signed him to a five-year, $43 million deal.
Dansby's best value has been his ability to cover tight ends and tailbacks coming out of the backfield.
The Dolphins could certainly use Dansby's coverage skills this Sunday considering Lions tailback Jahvid Best (51 receptions for 411 yards and one touchdown) is one of the fastest scatbacks in the NFL, and tight end Brandon Pettigrew is second on the team with 64 receptions, which he's turned into 629 yards and three touchdowns.

There's a new Facebook page out there called Share My Rescue. It's is a page where families and individuals of adopted and rescued pets can share their images and stories and let the world see what's become of pets after they've found their forever homes.
So often we see social media filled with stories and images of pets that are abused. neglected, and discarded and left alone and unwanted. Many people keep up with the journey these animals on shelter and rescue pages during their journey. And while many shelters and rescues post and update when these animals have been adopted, we so often lose track of them once they've gone on to their forever homes. They become lost to us and we may never know how they have gone on to live out wonderful lives with their new families.
That's why Share My Rescue was started. It's open to all that would like to share images and stories of their rescued or adopted pets and for those who like to read the success stories.
Everyone is encouraged to like the page and not only share their stories but keep up with pets that have gone on to live happy, healthy lives.
Visit Share My Rescue now and start sharing your pet's journey.

I am not sure this is the right place but I thought I would share a review I wrote about an upcoming book that I got a free review copy of. I was not paid in any way, Barrett found me on Twitter because I tweet about range time and stuff like that. This version is edited down. I removed the quotes from the book because of copyright issues that some forums have. The original is on my site:
Glock: The Rise of America's Gun is not the work of a Glock fanboy like many of these gun books are. It is the gun version of Cod: A Biography of the Fish that Changed the World. Of course it is an historically-accurate representation of the life and times of Gaston Glock and everything GLOCK, Inc., and its line of handguns.
It is also a complete history of the Second Amendment to the US Constitution, a history of gun-related politics and policies, and also a very accurate and sober portrayal of America's love for and of guns.
In the same way you read Cod even though you're not into fish or fishing, you really should read Glock. If you're anti-gun, you'll learn both about the culture of firearms in America and how powerfull and intelligent -- savvy -- a force your enemy really is. If you're pro-gun, the Glock revolution will blow your mind, especially in contrast with how pathetically every gun manufacturer in the world performed against GLOCK, especially poor Smith & Wesson, a company that watched as GLOCK came in and single-handedly replaced every .38 Special revolver in every police station in America with not only a high-capacity, semi-automatic, magazine-fed pistol, but with a Glock 17.
I can keep on going. Each story is more amazing than the next. The chutzpah of Gaston Glock is only bettered by the cajones of his right hand man during the early days in Atlanta, Mr. Karl Walter, a man who turned the conservative and serious world of arms sales and arms dealing in America into a discoteque, into a circus, into a strip club, into a world of Hollywood action flicks, rap music videos, and an army of Glock devotees that is only bettered by those mad men and women who are obsessed with their 1911.
Let me explain why I know so much about this book and it's not even out yet. Well, I read an advanced Gally copy of the book. On November 4th, Paul Barrett contacted me to review his upcoming book, Glock: The Rise of America's Gun. He chose me because I guess I am pretty open about both my gun ownership and my attraction to Glocks. Though I have only been shooting for a year, I already have a pretty nice collection of three Glock handguns: a Generation 3 Glock 23 in .40 S&W, a 9mm First Generation Glock 17 -- the original -- a retiree from the DC police department, and my Generation 4 Glock 26, my Baby Glock, in 9mm.
So, in an exemplary blogger outreach campaign, Mr, Barrett sent me a Galley copy to read. And I read it. I consumed it and was mesmerized. I was mesmerized by how much I didn't know about these United States, about gun legislation, about gun bans and bans on high-capacity magazines. I was flabbergasted by the loopholes in these bans that were so big you could taxi a 747 through them,
I was not mesmerized by the typical fanboy depiction of their favorite gun and gun maker, I was mesmerized by a book writen by a in investigative journalist who dig into the GLOCK empire, and its ripple effects on not just Law Enforcement but popular culture, rap music, politics, television, and hundreds of movies.
I really didn't know anything about the history of firearms in America or how they're sourced and have been banned; how they're imported -- or, rather, sourced and then assembled -- and how they're marketed and sold.
And that's not even scratching the surface of all that is GLOCK, Inc, and its illustrious founder, Gaston Glock, an Austrian nerd who ended up developing, designing, and producing the most iconic pistol since the Colt 1911.
If you liked Cod: A Biography of the Fish that Changed the World, Salt: A World History, The Big Oyster: History on the Half Shell, Banana: The Fate of the Fruit That Changed the World, or Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies, you'll love Glock: The Rise of America's Gun by Paul M. Barrett.

Comments about Newgrange Scarf:
This scarf might as well be cashmere; it is so soft. For all its lightness, it is densely knit and very toasty even on the coldest days. The colors are warm and rich, not glaring as some violet tones can be. In fact, the colors are well represented in the catalog photograph, unlike some other items at the National Geographic Store. The design is almost whimsical, though I know it is adapted from the patterns at New Grange. On a personal note, my paternal grandparents were born and raised in County Clare. Knowing this scarf is produced by a local couple there is just an added bonus for me. I highly recommend this scarf.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Video Gaming as Addictive as Alcohol, Gambling: Study
by Dr. Reeja Tharu on December 10, 2012 at 11:38 AM Health Watch - G J E 4
These days video games are everywhere. They are not just loaded on computers, but you will find them on iPads, smartphones, television and other modern gadgets. Though they could be good learning tools at most times, it is easy to get hooked on or addicted to them. An Australian study has confirmed that video gaming may be just as addictive as gambling or alcohol.
According to Olivia Metcalf, a research scholar at the Australian National University, Canberra, those who excessively played video games were unable to stop thinking about them, even while doing other tasks. This "attentional bias" is a phenomenon usually found in those who do drugs, alcohol or gambling.
AdvertisementMs Metcalf says that this does not happen because an activity is repeated. The addiction is due to changes that occur in your attention system, in your brain, when an addiction is developing.
A lot of people indulge in video gaming excessively, but no one is sure as to the nature of the underlying problem. Understanding the problem is the first step to developing treatment and therapies for addicted individuals, to try and sort out their issues.
Ms Metcalf points out that only a small percentage of individuals who game excessively suffer negative consequences such as inability to focus on their work and school activities, difficulty falling asleep, neglecting their diet and develop an inability to stop gaming.
Ms Metcalf also claims that her research is the first of its kind to provide scientific evidence that video gaming can indeed be addictive.
She says the intent of the research is not to ban gaming but to help those who are addicted to gaming and to ensure that it just remains a fun experience.

Governors' Panel Calls for School Choice
In a clear indication of how school choice has become accepted as a key strategy in the public policy debate over education reform, a blue-ribbon panel that advises state officials says parental choice in education could help improve and strengthen public schools.
In a report issued November 15, 1999, the National Commission on Governing America's Schools called for fundamental changes in the way U.S. schools are governed by giving more freedom to teachers, principals, and parents.
The panel's recommendations can be summarized as:
- Let parents choose schools.
- Let school taxes follow the child.
- Let schools control budgets.
- Let schools hire and fire teachers.
Such recommendations are often voiced by advocates of choice-based school reform as a way of bringing market accountability to public education. Significantly, the recommendations now come from a panel instrumental in helping shape state-level public policy on education across the nation. The panel is part of the Education Commission of the States, which is run by the nation's 50 governors.
Unlike the teacher unions, who claim school choice "abandons" public schools that aren't serving children's needs, the panel views choice as a means of increasing the number of successful schools and of strengthening public schools. It is school governance that matters, and the key to getting more good schools is having the right system of governance, says the panel, whose members include Democrat Paul Patton, governor of Kentucky, and Republican Frank Keating, governor of Oklahoma.
"Without good governance, good schools are the exception, not the rule," notes the panel's report, "Governing America's Schools: Changing the Rules." One way of changing the rules that govern public education is to "change who makes what education decisions within states, districts, and schools."
According to ECS chairman, Wyoming Governor Jim Geringer, the report is "designed to replace the tyranny of supply with the democracy of consumer demand."
Commission member David Osborne, co-author of Reinventing Government, put it more bluntly, comparing the organization of American public education to that of the state-run factories of the Soviet Union in the 1980s. Just like Soviet factories, public schools are told what to produce, to what standards, for how long, how to spend their budgets, sometimes even whom to hire. They have little control over their operations, but also little accountability for performance.
"If a school did a wonderful job, nothing good happened to its principal and teachers; but if it did a terrible job, nothing bad happened, either," said Osborne. "Like one of those Soviet factories, it could just keep pumping out defective products."
As the panel's report notes, quoting management guru Peter Drucker, "The right structure does not guarantee results. But the wrong structure aborts results and smothers even the best-directed efforts."
The report recommends two options for lawmakers to consider for changing school governance. The first involves a system of full public school choice, coupled with management decentralization to make individual schools responsible for their own decisions about budgets, staffing, and spending priorities.
The second option also would involve full public school choice, but all public schools essentially would become charter schools. School districts would continue to fund, authorize, and oversee the performance of schools but would get out of the business of operating them. Instead, districts would contract with independent entities--nonprofit and for-profit organizations, sole proprietorships, or cooperatives, for example--to run schools in much the same way they currently run charter schools.
The second option envisions private and parochial schools coming into the public school mix, but the Commission's report offers no details about how much autonomy such schools could lose in the process.
The Commission and ECS staff have committed to engage in a national debate over K-12 public education governance, and to work directly with state and school district leaders interested in rethinking and redesigning their governance systems.
Further debate seems likely. Mary Ellen Maxwell, president of the National School Boards Association and a school board member from Moyock, North Carolina, immediately blasted the report as "a huge step backward," saying that decentralization was not in the best interest of all schools and that independently operated schools "would take away key roles and responsibilities of the elected school board."

We take pride in holding the conference of your wildest dreams. It is simply in our genes.
Our setting is inspired by the LEGO® brick, and when you 'play' with us, you soon forget time and place too. Daylong conferences are not always much fun, but we do our utmost to blaze a trail in every way imaginable and unimaginable, with creativity knowing no bounds. You can have your meeting exactly the way you want it and there are countless possible combinations to choose from.
We often communicate without words, with no eye contact and without listening. And fast. This makes demands on how we communicate. We need to think bigger, use our senses correctly and we need to learn to pass on information effectively. You develop cooperative and communication skills, your imagination, your visions, ideas and creativity through play.
Think biggerStrengthen cooperation and learn about each other's strong and weak points using this exercise. You will focus on communication in the group. By building a 1m-high figure based on a mini-model and with no building instructions, you are all involved in an important project.
Deprived of your sensesYou see communication from a different perspective when you are suddenly deprived of one of your senses. You soon discover that you have to find new methods in order to arrive at the correct result.
Caught in the middleHow do you best pass on information when you are not in direct contact with the end-user? In our daily lives, indirect communication, where information is passed on from one person to the next and then to a third, etc., creates misunderstandings. We challenge you to build a LEGO® figure, where instructions go from the instructor through a middleman to the person who is to build.
Consider the receiverWe often tend to forget that we are communicating with a person on the other side of the screen or the other end of the telephone. You have the chance to improve your skills at passing on information by building in pairs, where one issues instructions and the other builds based only on the instructions he or she receives.

Madden is the odd-gal-out in the team, with a husband who isn't interested in auto racing.
"He'll come sit in the stands once in a while," she said, "but he'd rather be out riding his Harley."
Madden says she grew up going to the races with her dad, but lost interest in it for a number of years.
"I finally began going back a number of years ago. After the races I'd go down into the pits and pester the drivers and crew members with questions.
"Finally one of them asked me if I'd like to be part of the team."
She did light mechanical work and was put in charge of tires for a multi-car operation.
That experience led her to approach Carruthers about joining his crew when Jefferson was campaigning a car in the old NASCAR Northwest Tour.
"I still ask an awful lot of questions," she said. "There's so much about racing I don't know yet. Chuck's pretty good about taking the time to explain things, but you've got to know when to ask.
"I've been working with him just long enough to know when it's not a good time to bother the boss."-Jerry F. Boone
