ANAHEIM, Calif - The Oregon stunts and gymnastics team is in first place after day one of the USA West Coast Collegiate Championships. The Ducks scored a 96.4 out of 100 to take the early lead in their 12-team division.
Azusa Pacific, which will be in Eugene on Feb. 21 for Oregon's NCSTA-format Duck Invitational along with Georgia and Ohio State, is in second place after tallying a 91.8. San Diego State rounds out the top three with an 88.9.
Head coach Felecia Mulkey had to make some last minute changes with her team in practice this week as the Ducks are without starting flyer Marly Campos, who injured her hand in practice prior to the Cheersport Championships in Atlanta last Saturday and Sunday. Eugene native Rali Manolova and Noelle Bali moved up in the rotation to fill in for Campos in the Ducks' stunt and pyramid elements.
"It wasn't the cleanest routine by any means, but I'm happy with how we came together after having very little time to make changes in practice," Mulkey said. "We have some room for improvement but we will clean it up tomorrow."
All teams will compete again tomorrow with their Sunday round score accouting for 40% of the eventual team total and the Monday round counting for 60%.
The USA West Coast Collegiates use the traditional competitive cheer format of just the 2 1/2 minute team routine.

Oregon - 96.4
Azusa Pacific - 91.8
San Diego State - 88.9
Cal Poly - 84.7

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE; 25 February 1834; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18340225-TC-JAC-01; CL 7:102-109.
Craigenputtoch, 25th Feby, 1834—
My Dear Brother,
Your Letter,1 which as I compute must have been finished off on the very day my last was written on, got hither on the 7th of Feby; a space not much above a fortnight. I mention this to give you a scale for computing by, which will be accurate if you know your own date accurately: I can report it only by memory, the Letter itself being at Scotsbrig. This writing on the same day2 (which has so often happened to us), does it not indicate the great punctuality of both; almost, as an occult Philosopher might say, a kind of secret sympathy? Very pleasant, to think that at the very hour when I am specially thinking of you at Craigenputtoch, you at Rome are doing me the same brotherly service! But indeed the same thing happens, in a degree, every day; for I may say there are few days in which I do not specially enough remember you, and think of you. My strangely bewildered destiny has perhaps no foreign element in it that is as full of hope as you are. Let us be thankful for all blessings!
Since I wrote last nothing outward has happened here, of the smallest moment; tho', as you shall hear, something inward has, which will become outward. Holcroft has never answered my Letter; so we have heard nothing more about poor Badams and his end, or Bessy Barnet and those he has left. On Saturday I wrote again to Holcroft; enclosing also a note for Bessy,3 which, if he could find no better address, he was to forward with the address it had: "Lately with Mr Badams, Warwick." We had a new Letter from Jeffrey; and no other that I think of worth specifying. Jeffrey struggles to eat his asperity about the Astronomy Professorship; regrets, has hope, has sympathy, in any case "heaves the wish";4 and on the whole makes it plain to me that in him of all men there is not the faintest shadow of help for me. I have not answered his Letter; and fancy that here our Correspondence may profitably close for indefinite periods. My last Letter was of the smoothest sort, and finished everything off as handsomely as was needful.
But now comes the inward change, just on the point of expressing itself as an outward one. We learned incidentally last week that Grace our Servant, tho' "without fault to us," and whom we with all her inertness were nothing but purposing to keep, had resolved on "going home next summer." The cup that had long been filling ran over with that smallest of drops. After meditating on it for a few minutes, we said to one another: "Why not bolt, out of all these rocky despicabilities, of Kerrags [Hags], and lying draggle-tails of byre-women, and peat-moss, and isolation, and exasperation, and confusion, and go at once to London?" Gedacht, gethan [Contemplated—done]! Two days after, we had a Letter on the road to Mrs Austin to look out among the "Houses to Let" for us, and an advertisement for M'Diarmid to try for the letting of our own.5 Since then, you may fancy, our heads and hearts have been full enough of this great enterprise; the greatest (small as it is) that I ever knowingly engaged in. We bring anxiously together all the experience we have gathered or got reported; look back and look forward; make the bravest resolutions; and in fine seem to see a trembling hope that we may master the enterprise (of an honest life in London); at all events a certainty that we ought to try it. Yes, we must try it! Life here is but a kind of Life-in-Death, or rather one might say a Not Being Born; one sits as in the Belly of some Trojan Horse; weather-screened, but pining, inactive, neck and heels crushed together. Let us burst it, in the name of God! Let us take such an existence as He will give us; working, where work is to be found, while it is called today. A strange shiver runs thro' every nerve of me when I think of taking that plunge; yet also a kind of sacred faith, sweet after the dreary vacuity of soul I have thro' long seasons lived in, as under an eclipsing shadow. I purpose to be prudent, watchful of my words; to look well about me, and with all the faculty I have pick my steps in that new arena. Thousands of sillier fellows than I flourish in it: the whole promotion I strive for is simplest food and shelter in exchange for the honestest work I can do.— So you see, Jack, we hope you will find a home three hundred miles nearer you, next time! What effect this farther may have on your own final settlement we will not count at present, however much we may castle-build about it: many things will be clearer before the date of your return, which I more and more pray God may be safe and prosperous.— But to give you a little particularity of insight. We purpose, for many reasons, to make this a whole measure, not a half one: thus the first thing will be to give up our Establishment here, to sell off all the furniture but what will equip a very modest house in the Suburbs of London; to let the House if we can, if we cannot to let it stand there and not waste more money. This Jane calls a "burning of our Ships"; which suits better with our present aim than anything else would. For indeed, I feel, this is as if the last chance I shall ever have to redeem my existence from Pain and Imprisonment, and make something of the faculty I have, before it be forever hid from my eyes. No looking back, then! Forward! Advance or perish!— We imagine some suburban house may be got for £40: Leigh Hunt talked much about a quite delightful one he had (for "ten children" too) at Chelsea, all wainscotted &c for 30 guineas. With £200 we fancy the rigour of economy may enable us to meet the year. I must work, and seek work; before sinking utterly I will make an "a'fu' struggle."6 Thus it is, we will either, according to the Proverb, "make a spoon or spoil a horn,"7—in truth, nigh spoiled already. Andar con Dios [Go with God]! this is the thing I say and feel; and on the whole address myself to the enterprise in a mood perhaps rather to be approved of.— Now dear Jack what say you of all this? I know your good heart is fluttering with kindliest apprehension for us, yet also with approval, with a religious thankfulness even. Write all that you think. Before my next Letter there will probably be tidings from Mrs Austin (who long ago invited us to set her on this task); more light also about the disposal of matters here: you shall get it all, as it comes to us. Hitherto you observe nothing irrevocable is done; nor indeed will be, unless our House were let here of which there is next to no hope: however, we do not intend to take advantage of that posture of affairs; but are both determined enough, and Jane, I think, as much as myself. Our house-advertisement has perhaps appeared at Dumfries today; at all events, will appear this day week. The next will be a roup [auction sale of household goods]-advertisement!
Our dear Mother has not yet heard of this; for tho' I wrote to Alick a week ago it was not then thought of. I will send her word of it tomorrow; and also that I shall see her in a day or two. It will be a heavy stroke, yet not quite unanticipated, and she will bear it. My Brothers and she are the only ties I have to Scotland. I will tell her that tho' at a greater distance, we are not to be disunited: regular letters, frequent visits: I will say who knows but you and I may yet bring her up to London to pass her old days waited on by both of us! Go whither she may, she will have her Bible with her and her Faith in God. She is the truest Christian Believer I have ever met with; nay, I might almost say, the only true one.— I heard from her last week; by a short Letter from Mary (no, it was the week before last): she professed to be better than usual; had not taken any pills for three weeks; spoke in her old cheerful hopeful style[.] There is still a kind of tagrag tail of a negociation going on about that Howcleugh farm; but I do not think Austin will get it: so the whole destination thro' even the Summer that is coming remains doubtful. I meant to go down at any rate, and try whether I could do nothing towards forwarding it; and now, with this new call, I think I shall set off without delay: probably (if the Wednesday Letters say nothing to the contrary) on Saturday first. I wrote to Alick about it, this day week (as was said); he was at Dumfries, at the "Candlemas Fair" that was there, and reported all well. Our Boy Rob Austin calls weekly at Jean's, and acts under her superintendance. He is engaged (like all else here) till whitsunday [sic].
Glen goes on in a kind of indifferent way, one cannot well say towards what issue. If I were obliged to declare whether I thought him improving or not it would puzzle me. In general I think him very slowly mending; but he shifts in the suddenest fashion, and every new day has something new in the appearance he makes. Twice, I think, just after I had been declaring that he was evidently getting better, he came upon us next night with a fresh utterance of what we have all, he too, agreed to call jinner-janner; about all manner of fooleries, in which generally military conquest acts a great part. When sanest he speaks little; if he begin to speak much great part of it is sure to be absurd. His insanity seems like a subtle poison flowing along his nerves; all on a sudden he will emit some utterance about his deeds of valour "before 1815," when "he was not incubated";8 his features contract in uneasy fluctuation, his eye gets restless energetic, and so it lasts for a minute or two; then he ends it with a smile, gets himself again, and seems rather ashamed of the fit. But never at any time does he show the smallest ferocity, or even violence; indeed his whole temper is merciful, affectionate; after one of his splutters, I answer him " jinner-janner ,"9 and he quits it all with his submissive laugh. His dietetics, of which he will take no charge himself, still act the most important part. We give him one of Jane's pills every night, or sometimes omit a night, when we judge (by his intellect alone) that he has had too much. He speaks quite favourably of his accommodation at Peter's; walks about (yet hardly enough, if the weather threaten); smokes a pipe; reads in some old Greek book, or rather turns over the leaves; prepares a couple of Propositions (and often only with difficulty can manage one of them); is here at seven o'clock, and after finishing lessons gets a tune (De tanti palpiti10 is his constant favourite); and then returns to bed at half past nine. He begins of late to complain occasionally of his bodily health (tho' evidently improving in that respect), which I reckon perhaps a favourable symptom. As before, we must leave him in the hands of Time.— He and I have gone on very regularly with our Homer, tho' more I think to my profit than to his. I begin it nightly at 5 o'clock, otherwise a quite worthless hour for me, and have once or twice had 100 lines ready; but the most general number is about 50. We are nearly thro' the second Book. Nothing I have read for long years so interests and nourishes me: I am quite surprised at the interest I take in it. All the Antiquity I have ever known becomes alive in my head: there is a whole Gallery of Apelleses and Phidiases that I not only look upon but make. Never before had I any so distinct glimpse of antique Art: those Pompeii Engravings of yours, and all of the sort I have seen, first get their significance. By the by, can you tell me what the subject of that Picture is (which you brought), where a man seems speaking among other men and women, some of the latter weeping? Do you remember it by that description? The speaking man (I think) holds a roll as of writing; is seated, and naked down the back.11— Also have they any other engravings of ancient Pictures, cheap, about Rome? There is one of Medea killing her children, which is the sorriest copy (that English Pompeii, copied from a French work), produced the deepest impression on me. Still und einfach-gross [Still and simply great]!— I have plenty of other Books from Barjarg (of small note, this journey), and so keep always "doing a little." The next leaf is yours.
Indeed, Jack, we are very happy that you get on so smoothly; and doubt not you will turn these two otherwise so silent years to good account. You can always have Books, you see; even in Rome. Few young Physicians get any such opportunity of furnishing themselves in that way. I feel also a kind of satisfaction at having you in Switzerland thro' the Summer; almost as if you were half home again. The Switzers are honest Deutschen [Germans], among whom you will feel more like a Countryman. And then their Country, tho' few men set less value on views, yet that is a thing I too would give somewhat to see. If you go to Geneva you will again find English enough: there is on[e] Sir Egerton Brydges there, whom I fancy you might rather like to meet with. We have been reading in his Censura Literaria lately, and find him a good man, with more talent than one might conjecture at first, and an appearance of a true affectionate heart.12 Lady Clare I suppose must know about [him]: he was applicant for a Peerage many years ago; I think, the Barony of Chandos.— Walter Savage Landor, I think you could not hear of at Florence, nor perhaps was it great matter.13
I will gladly forward you Teufelsdrockh if it be ready and a conveyance possible: in London there will be a better chance. I corrected the fourth Paper of it lately; and found some pages of it gelungen [well done]; a great comfort to me. Thy own faculty! God has given it, the Devil cannot take it away.— One day perhaps I shall actually be able to write a Book.— Nothing in the least determined yet about the Necklace. Two Quartos from A. d'Eichthal have been received and read: I shall have to alter one or two things; wonderfully little. The most probable issue of the business is that we shall make it a Magazine Article for the sake of £45, which will prove wonderfully useful to us in those coming days. It is not good enough for a Book; at least for losing money by. However, I wrote one Hayward (who had volunteered in the matter) that he might speak of it to Booksellers and let me know. Mill's Radical Review, to judge by his silence, rests on its oars.— This then, dear Brother, is all I will say at present. I have striven to write close; yet have made but a poor hand of it. You will figure the kind of unquiet, excited, not unhappy mood I am in: our Letters for some time will be more interesting than ever. All things among your friends here are in a transition state; yet all in some measure moving round the everlasting Pole! In our love of you there is also no change, nor will be— But here at the right moment is Dinner!— Farewell, my dear Brother! Yours ever truly
T. Carlyle
[JWC's postscript:]
My dear Brother—Here is a new prospect opened up to us with a vengeance! Am I frightened? not a bit. I almost wish that I felt more anxiety about our Future; for this composure is not courage but diseased indifference. There is a sort of incrustation about the inward me, which renders it alike insensible to fear and to hope. I suppose I am in what Glen calls "the Chrysalis state" or "the state of Incubation." Let us trust that like all other states which have a beginning it will also have an end; and that the poor Psyche shall at last get freed! In the mean time I do what I see to be my duty as well as I can, and wish that I could do it better. It seems as if the Problem of living well would be immensely simplified for me if I had health. It does require such an effort to keep myself from growing quite wicked while that weary weaver's shuttle is plying between my temples; Unhappy Melina14 &c. I have reason to be thankful that I have had less sickness this winter than in the two preceding ones which I attribute partly to the change in my pills— Your receipt is worn to tatters but Glen copied it for me. The notebook you gave me is half filled; with such multifarious matter; no Mortal gets a glimpse of it. My poor little goose egg if not entirely rotten is cooling most alarmingly long [?] in these tumultuous times. I wish Carlyle would let me begin a letter instead of ending it he leaves me nothing but dregs to impart— Would you recommend me to sup on porridge and beer? Carlyle takes it. We have got a dear little Canary bird which we call "Chiko" which sings all day long "like—like anything"
Love me dear John as well as ever you can
[TC's postscript:]
The Dante's Portrait you gave us is to have a fine frame; it was made in Edinr for me; but I look shockingly ill in it, and it fits Dante to a hairsbreadth. There has also a frame been discovered for the Munich Goethe:15 a fine gilt one in which at present sticks—Sandy Donaldson!
This moment Jane came in to me with what she calls a "good omen": the head of a breast-pin which I lost more than four years ago, which M'Adam's Boy found, all in a bruised state, today! It is curious enough.— Glen has been here, rather wild, yet not absolutely fatuous; wiser than W. Corson,16 who was here also. Good night, then, dear Brother! Yours auf ewig [eternally].
Do not think too much about yourself, or about whether you are right or wrong. You are too good?

Is the New School Lunch Law an Example of Government Run Amok?
Ben Boychuk Yes, in the worst way
It's a fair bet the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act won't produce healthier or especially well-fed kids, much as No Child Left Behind has done little to produce high academic achievement. The universal law of unintended consequences trumps federal law every time.
Everyone can acknowledge obesity is a big, expensive problem. Trouble is, top-down mandates always come at freedom's expense. Success is never guaranteed, and the bureaucratic red tape rarely goes away.
California has already traveled far down this road, with great success at making kids miserable but middling success at making them thin. Los Angeles Unified School District banned soda and junk food sales in 2003, and Gov. Schwarzenegger cheerfully signed legislation in 2004 to do the same statewide. The kids are still fat – about 24 percent of California middle-schoolers are "obese" or "severely obese," according to the journal Pediatrics – though obesity rates seem to have leveled off somewhat.
Under the new federal school nutrition law, the feds will be empowered to regulate fundraisers where food is sold – i.e., bake sales. At some risk of exaggeration, just imagine federal food cops busting PTA moms and varsity cheerleaders for peddling unauthorized snickerdoodles and Rice Krispie treats.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says he doesn't "intend" to ban bake sales in schools, especially if they're infrequent. (Federal regulators will decide what "infrequent" means, alas.) But the language of the law clearly allows for such a ban. Maybe not next year. Perhaps in the future, when a zealot from the Center for Science in the Public Interest occupies the more moderate Vilsack's desk.
Of course, every expert on nutrition and good health will tell you diet is part of the anti-obesity equation. Another factor is exercise. Kids are more sedentary. Usually, television and video games get the blame. Some blame also falls on parents unwilling to say "No" to their kids at the fast food drive-thru.
But as it turns out, No Child Left Behind is part of that equation, too.
One unintended consequence of the 2002 federal law has been the steady erosion of recess and physical education. Time on the playground is time not spent preparing for those all-important standardized tests, which determine whether a school is succeeding or failing under strict federal adequate yearly progress requirements.
A federal mandate arguably helped make the childhood obesity problem worse. Does anyone really think another mandate banning bake sales would make it better?

in assisted living facilities by educating consumers
and increasing industry accountability
Consumer Advocates for RCFE Reform (CARR), was conceptualized by C Murphy in May 2009, as an extension of her thesis work for a Master's Degree in Gerontology at San Diego State University; the organization was co-founded by C Murphy and C Selder in May 2009.
In early 2009, Ms. Murphy began reviewing RCFE public records maintained at the local offices of Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD). As she collected data, she made two observations:
(1) Having been through the process of placing her mother in a local RCFE several years earlier, she realized that if she would have had access to the information she was seeing in the public file, her placement decision may have been different; and
(2), she recognized the process for requesting and obtaining the public documents for any given RCFE was cumbersome and lengthy. She also found the file documents to be unfamiliar, out of context and therefore, difficult to understand.
From these observations, the idea emerged: A website allowing immediate access to a facility's public documents, thereby eliminating the state's cumbersome request-and-return policy, and a site that offers essential information for the consumer of long-term care.
Concurrent with her thesis work, she met Ms. Chrisy Selder, at that time, also a Gerontology Master's candidate. Together, they engaged in serious brainstorming and planning for this site. While on paper Chris is the founder, they consider themselves to be co-founders.
CARR is incorporated as a California public benefit corporation, in good standing. In January 2011, CARR received its designation by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)3 Public Charity.

Week 1 NFL Picks: New York Jets vs. Tampa Bay Bucs: September 8th 2013
Week 1 NFL Picks: September 8th 2013
New York Jets vs. Tampa Bay Bucs
Pick: Tampa Bay -3
Thanks to the preseason shoulder injury of NY Jets QB Sanchez the Jets will be starting Geno Smith who looked inaccurate and erratic in exhibition play. The Jets offense was atrocious last year( 30# in offensive efficiency), and there just were not enough upgrades to justify hope for this season in my humble opinion. The D also took a hit, as they lost star Darrelle Revis via trade, which will slow their ability to hold off offenses with passing prowess . Dont get me wrong the Jets young D, will eventually jell, but for now its a work in progress for this talented group. Meanwhile, Tampa Bays QB Josh Freeman comes off a 27 TD season, and looks to once again to be dangerous via play action, because of the emergence of RB Doug Martin (4.6 YPC, 12 TDs). The Bucs defense is hard to run against even without ( Bennett and Miller) and with their pass D upgraded(Revis), the Jets inconsistent pass offense should not do serious damage, which is not a good omen for the Jets chances here on opening day. Its interesting to note that the Bucs have covered 19 of their L/26 road games for a powerful 73% conversion rate!
Projected score: Tampa Bay 24 NY Jets 16

Bill Provides For Voter Verified Paper Records, Mandatory Audits, Source Code Review
A bill to require voter verified paper records, mandatory random audits, and other important election reform measures is headed to the desk of Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano. The bill, SB 1557, passed the Arizona House unanimously and the Senate 25-3. The Senate version. The House effort was led by Rep. Ted Downing (D-28, pictured at right), while the Senate version of the bill was introduced by Sen. Karen Johnson (R-18, pictured at left). Sen. Johnson said in the AZ Star that the current tallying process — done strictly by computers — isn't enough to ensure accuracy. "We cannot trust computers; that's the main purpose of this," Johnson said. "You hope everything will be great, but we've already had problems." The passage of this landmark legislation, described by Maricopa County Election director Karen Osborn as "one of the most significant election reforms bills in decades", is the culmination of years of efforts from activists and concerned legislators. AZ Audit, Arizona Citizens for Fair Elections, and Arizona Citizens for Election Reform have all focused their efforts on establishing basic election safeguards in the state.
The struggle has often been contentious, most recently in the controversial decision of Pima County to purchase Diebold touchscreen voting machines. Concern about the current unauditable system in Arizona stems from the results of a 2004 Republican legislative primary race in the Phoenix area. One candidate's four-vote victory there triggered an automatic recount, giving a 13-vote victory to another candidate and uncovering nearly 500 additional votes.
In addition to a basic requirement for a voter-verified paper record of every vote, the bill also calls for a hand counted audit of 2% of the state's precincts. Significant discrepancies between hand and machine counts will require expansion of the hand count. The bill establishes a seven person "Vote Count Verification Committee" that will set the hand count expansion discrepancy margins prior to each election. According to Tom Ryan of Arizona Citizens for Fair Elections, this was a solution to the problem of not having sufficient statistics available to put specific discrepancy margins into law from the start. Each election will provide more statistics and the Committee can base it's margins on all previously obtained data and this body of data will grow with time.
In an effort to avoid long lines at polling place, the bill will also require election officials to predict the number of voters in each precinct and plan ahead to avoid long waits. Election officials will also monitor polling place wait times. Most significantly, SB 1557 will require vendors to place voting system source code in escrow with the Secretary of State. This code will be reviewed if audits show significant errors in the electronic tabulation. The also includes a provision that requires that the machines provide "a durable paper document," rather than the thermal paper used by some vendors.

That´s the last adventure game I´ve played. It was great and long. One of the best adventure games. The first adventure game from Turkey.
Looks interesting: nice graphics, anyway. Story might be a bit too similar to this world for me, though. At least, it looks quite political.
And it´s great. The background music for example.
And I can say you:
The story is better than the graphic!! The graphic is bad, but I think I´m in the 90th... :eek: And that´s good so.
Now have any other here bought or played the game. Or maybe the demo?
The english version (original is in english. Maybe not much people on the world speak turkish?) including USA was released bevore it came out in Germany or an other german speaking country.
I have talked with an other one, who played the game in germany (and many other people, too). And we´re fans of the music in the game. I think that´s great! The music is one of the best in a game for last years. :thmbup1:
A trailer:
Oh, three posts. Sorry.
Here. I´ve found it on the steam for ya.
Take a look.

Gibson Off To Puerto Rico To Join Nat'l Team
Related Links
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State senior Ali Gibson left Corvallis on Wednesday and is heading to Puerto Rico to begin training with the Puerto Rican National Team, which is scheduled to play exhibitions in the United States from July 10-20 before heading to Mexico for the Centrobasket Championship for Women at the end of the month.
This will be Gibson's second go-around with Puerto Rico, as she participated in last August's "Super Four" Tournament in São Paulo, Brazil, playing the likes of the host Brazilians, Argentina and Canada. A native of Northern California, she is eligible to play for Puerto Rico because her mother, Janet, was born on the island while Gibson's grandfather was working there.
Gibson is the latest of five Oregon State student-athletes to suit up for a national squad this summer, joining Canadian performers Ruth Hamblin and Jamie Weisner, Gabriella Hanson with Sweden (U20) and Marie Gülich with Germany (U20).
Gibson has started all 99 games in her three years for the Beavers, averaging 9.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 steals. She is fourth all-time in Oregon State history in 3-point makes (139) and will begin the 2014-15 season just 15 points shy of becoming the Beavers' 17th 1,000-point scorer.
The 2014 Centrobasket Championship for Women is scheduled from July 22-26 in Monterrey, Mexico and features teams from Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador and Mexico in addition to Puerto Rico. The final three teams in the eight-team field will be the top three finishers at next week's Caribbean Basketball Confederation (CBC) Championship for Women in the British Virgin Islands.
At the Centrobasket Championship, the teams will be divided into two groups that will play a round robin within the group. The top two teams from each will qualify for a semifinal in which the Group A's winner will play the second place finisher from Group B and vice versa. The winners of the semifinals will advance to the finals.
The Centrobasket Championships will qualify four teams for the 2015 FIBA Americas Championships.

5 Mountain Biking Tips for Girls (and everyone else).
Submitted by Cheri Felix on
Mountain biking is amazing and don't let this rainy weather fool you. There is plenty of good riding to be had before we hang up our mountain bikes. If you are new to mountain biking it's going to get hard before it gets easier. And then once it gets easier, it's going to get harder again. For all of us, it's a humbling sport. Some days you are a rock star and some days you crash on the rocks. Either way, there's nothing quite like it. Here are a few tips (reminders) to keep you sunny side up.
- Don't show off
These are the words that my husband sends me out the door with when I go out to ride with friends. What he's trying to say (I think) is "Don't do anything stupid." Basically I remind myself of these words of wisdom when contemplating taking something at a higher speed or doing a bigger drop then I have business doing.
- 9 Out of 10 times it's the pilot not the plane
Okay, so the one time it's the plane is for the people who are already so rad on the bike that they could ride a big wheel and still out climb and out descend me. But for all the other times, I really believe it. Get a good enough bike or a nice bike but don't get caught up in having the best, the brightest or the lightest. At the end of the day you have to ride the bike and sometimes putting in the time and the work can improve your skills more than a shiny new bike.
- Crashing often doesn't mean you have bigger…..ovaries
I used to think I was pretty tough because I crashed a lot. I liken it to thinking I was a great driver when I was 15. Practice, hard work and training may not make you perfect but it will make you a better rider. And now when I go over or crash really hard it's because I've forgotten the fundamentals or I just got too big for my undies. And sometimes I just pick the wrong line.
Author, Cheri Felix
- Treat your bike like you want to be treated
Who doesn't like to be washed and lubed weekly? I know I do. Your bike needs to be washed and checked over (for loose wheels, bent derailleurs, stretched cables, etc.) weekly. Some might say after every ride but I'd bet that person doesn't have dishes to do, kids to feed and a dog to walk. Your bike works better when it's maintained. Trust me on this. I used to think a dirty bike was a sign of coolness. That was silly and lazy. This summer the bike mechanic said "Wow. That's a clean drive train." A proud moment for me.
- Know when to hold em and when to fold em.
Kenny Rogers knew what he was talking about. I'm talking about knowing when to let it ride and when to walk your bike. Knowing how to leave your ego at the trailhead. Knowing when you are out of your element. It can be hard to walk something you've done before or to take a tight switchback slower than you are used to. But it can save you a co-pay if you listen to your gut. A few weeks ago I was in Park City riding some pretty fun downhill and just wasn't "feelin' it". The bike didn't quite fit me, the tires were too small for my taste and well…I just didn't have the confidence. So I walked something that I've replicated at the Valmont Bike Park. Like I said; know when to hold em.
Now, get out and ride before it snows!

I was thinking the same thing
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I was thinking the same thing! I just wanted to add that I've advanced so much in the last year because I was willing to fall. Of course I invested in some nice pads to prevent broken bones. But the funny thing is, I definitely have the pad courage--if I don't wear them, I'll probably not try something big. Which isn't a bad thing. Ha!

I am a self-respecting woman, a self professed feminist and a girl! Being a mountain biker, I believe implies a sense of youthfulness, sense of adventure, and a sense of self definition. For someone, a woman, to belittle another womans sense of self flies in the face of what a woman could and should be. We have the right to define ourselves as we see fit. I am a girl, a powerful girl. I am a mother, a wife and sometimes...a lady. But I will always be a girl. I have a sense of humor about myself, and a healthy respect for other women. And in that respect I refuse to belittle their choice as to how to represent themselves. The term "girl" only has the power you give it, as any other hotly contested phrase or word. I choose to see the inherent power in the word girl. It is a powerful word. I am a powerful woman, and I like being called a girl, because the definition lies within, not in others opinion. Girl Power is an amazing thing, please don't take that away from those who choose to be defined by their own terms. Girls rule!

Nicole the problem lies not
Submitted by anne (not verified) on
Nicole the problem lies not how you see yourself or how you define the word "girls" it is about how the world does. I think that is what Catherine was pointing out. "Girl" is not a powerful word. When us women playfully call each other "girls" in social situations, you are right! There is nothing at all wrong with that.
However, in writing in any form that is for the public eye this is a problem. In an equal world it would not be. But until women are on par with men, and in the cycling world until women are even close to be considered equal to the men, we must be careful in our language use. It matters. Perhaps at the local level we cannot see or understand why. But as women cyclists globally fight for recognition and professionalism with the UCI (check letourentier.com for more on that) what we call ourselves and how we see women's cycling is important.
Cheri Felix wrote a great article. But I have to admit when I read the title I was thinking that this was directed towards girls and not women.

At this point in the year, the Annapolis Valley's apple harvest is well under way. In my world, few things exceed the pleasure of biting into the first gravenstine apple of the season. There is something about the crisp texture and sweet / tart flavour of a good apple that just cannot be topped. Well, now that I think of it, perhaps the season's first bite of apple pie also merits some consideration. For a variety of reasons apple harvest time really is one of the best times to live in the Annapolis Valley.
The photographs in this post come from the Sidney Payne collection in the Annapolis Heritage Society Archives. Born in England, Sidney Payne moved to Granville Ferry, Nova Scotia as a young man. From 1920 until 1947 he worked as the laboratory photographer for the Dominion Entomology Laboratory on Grange Street in Annapolis Royal. The archival collection documents many of his activities with the apple industry.
Note the traditional apple picking equipment being used in these photographs. The pickers are all carrying baskets made by the local Mi'Kmaq community. These woven baskets are made from sections of split white ash. Once the apples were picked, they were stored and shipped in wooden apple barrels. The cooperages which produced these barrels were once common features on the Annapolis County landscape.
All for now,

I was driving to work on wednesday (snow) and some women ran into the snow bank, lost control and hit me front of the car and pushed us both off the highway. Thankfully no injuries to either of us, she was cited and her insurance already called to take full liability. However, prior to them calling that afternoon, my own insurance had already taken car of the first couple of steps. I was hit around 8:00, by 10:30 I had picked up a rental car, and my car was on the way to the shop to be investigated for damage (don't know yet if its going to be totaled or if they'll fix it)
Anyhoo, this weekend I got two seperate letters from different lawyers telling me of my rights. One even included that accident report. Kind of scary how easily they can obtain that information.

It's why I have very few friends who are lawyers. They're generally just boring people who don't add much to a conversation unless it's some way of patting themselves on the back.
Trust the Process.

Pardon me for being naive (I'm a lawyer), but isn't the behavior by the lawyers - peppering you with phone calls the day after the accident - illegal? I actually don't know the rule in Colorado where I practice, but in Massachusetts where I went to law school, you'll get in trouble with the bar if you make a direct solicitation to an injured victim unless you're offering yourself pro bono.

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — In a thrilling playoff matchup between bitter rivals, the Union Dutchmen (21-7-7) edged the Rensselear Engineers (12-23-3), 3-2, in the first game of the ECAC quarterfinals Friday night in Schenectady, N.Y.
In front of a rowdy crowd comprised of both Union and RPI supporters, it was quickly evident that the playoff excitement was not lost on the players.
"I thought both teams were physical; it was a competitive game," said RPI coach Seth Appert.
RPI got off to a quick start as sophomore Matt Tinordi found some open ice along the right side. Streaking into the Union zone, he fired RPI's first shot over Troy Grosenick's right shoulder to give the Engineers a quick 1-0 lead only 42 seconds into the contest.
"That was a nice shot; he put it right where he needed it," said Union assistant captain Kelly Zajac.
Grosenick, who made 21 saves in his 17th win of the season, was unfazed.
"That's the game of hockey; it doesn't matter when you let in a goal, you have to let it roll off your back," said the sophomore.
The tide turned quickly, however, when Max Novak scored the seventh goal of his freshman campaign. Streaking down the right side, Novak cut sharply toward the net, wristing a shot short side over Bryce Merriam's glove to tie the game with 6:32 elapsed in the first period.
Having scored at least two power-play goals in three of their last four meetings against RPI, Union's power play converted once more at 13:19 of the first. After Zajac chipped the puck deep into RPI zone, Kyle Bodie held the puck to the left of Merriam's net and it to an open Wayne Simpson waiting in the slot, who one-timed it past Rensselaer's netminder to open up a 2-1 Union advantage. Wayne Simpson's goal was his fifth career playoff tally, which places him first among active Union players.
Union opened the second period with 1:53 of power-play time carrying over from the first and converted once more to increase their lead to 3-1. After Merriam stopped a shot to his left, a flurry of Union players descended to the net. Following the play was junior defenseman Greg Coburn, who took several whacks at the puck trapped against Merriam's right leg pad before slipping it over the goal line just as the official blew the whistle. Sent immediately to the scorer's box for review, what would ultimately be the game-winning goal was ruled to have crossed the line before play was whistled dead.
"They [the officials] got the final say, so yeah, it went in," said Merriam after the game.
"It was a broken play," explained Coburn. "The goalie had it on his pad there and I just kept whacking away at it."
The controversial call seemed to awaken the Engineers, who played a dominant second period. Peppering Grosenick, RPI outshot Union 12-10 in the frame. Despite the team's resurgent play during the second half of the game, Appert explained that his team would not take away any moral victories from tonight.
"We need to be better on puck battles," he told the media. "Realistically, that was probably the difference."
In the third, the Engineers carried over their aggressive style of play. After a penalty to RPI captain Joel Malchuk, senior forward Alex Angers-Goulet broke free of the Union defense and rushed down the right side toward Grosenick. From the hashmarks, the St. Augustin, Que., native sent a sizzling shot toward the top left corner of the net, beating Union's netminder. The goal was his second of the year, coming at 10:32 of the third period.
"I used their defenseman as a screen. I just wanted to shoot high on him [Grosenick]. It wound up going in," said Angers-Goulet.
Despite some opportune chances, RPI could not convert on a game-tying goal, as Union tightened up defensively.
"I was proud of the way we finished the game; we're going to try to gain momentum for tomorrow," said Rensselaer junior C.J. Lee.
Appert offered praise to RPI's regional rivals.
"[Union is a] tough team to come back on; they're good defensively, good systematically. They're well-coached."
Union and RPI will face off in game two of the best of three quarterfinals Saturday night at Messa Rink in Schenectady, N.Y.

Bill Nye, the harmless children's edu-tainer known as "The Science Guy," managed to offend a select group of adults in Waco, Texas at a presentation, when he suggested that the moon does not emit light, but instead reflects the light of the sun.
As even most elementary-school graduates know, the moon reflects the light of the sun but produces no light of its own.
But don't tell that to the good people of Waco, who were "visibly angered by what some perceived as irreverence," according to the Waco Tribune.
Nye was in town to participate in McLennan Community College's Distinguished Lecture Series. He gave two lectures on such unfunny and adult topics as global warming, Mars exploration, and energy consumption.
But nothing got people as riled as when he brought up Genesis 1:16, which reads: "God made two great lights -- the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars."
The lesser light, he pointed out, is not a light at all, but only a reflector.
At this point, several people in the audience stormed out in fury. One woman yelled "We believe in God!" and left with three children, thus ensuring that people across America would read about the incident and conclude that Waco is as nutty as they'd always suspected.
This story originally appeared in the Waco Tribune, but the newspaper has mysteriously pulled its story from the online version, presumably to avoid further embarrassment.

if earth is only 6000 years old, only stars from 6000 light years away could possibly be seen without a telescope
That's a perfect repudiation!
sad, how close minded people are when their religion is questioned even in the smallest reference.
strega, your words are slightly out of form for something that i am sure i would agree with. the age of the earth itself has no bearing on the age of the stars out there emitting light. However, creationists contend the universe is the same age as the earth. If you rewrote that with "if the universe is only"... it would be both correct and a useable defense.
God said let there be light, then He made the sun and moon. There was already light then its like He formed the sources and seperated them and put them in their place. Thats how i would do it
Thanks, Robert Germanovich! You are quite correct :)
Willet, who wrote before the birth of Newton, and at a time when solar physics and spectrum analysis were things of the remote future. It m not unlike, says he, "but that this light (of the first day), after the creation of the celestial bodies, might be drawn upward and have his reflection upon the beame of the sunne and of other starres" And again, "Whereas the light created the first day is called or, but the starres (meaning the heavenly bodies) are called meoroth, as of the light, hence it may appear that these lightsome (i.e. luminous) bodies were made the receptacles of that light thou created, which was now increased and united to these lights" ('Hexapla,' vers. 3, 14, London, 1632) http://biblehub.com/genesis/1-16.htm
Arch, whoever says you cannot create darkness, has not dated any of my ex girlfriends.
@Arch yes I'm sure. But I liked the bite sized version you gave above, too
And I thought it was such a big thing in Christian apologetics that cause precedes effect. But first making the light and after that a source from which that light emanated is perhaps more supernaturally elegant. Why not have it so that the Sun instead of radiating light is just sucking out the darkness from the Earth?
I'm surprised that anyone in Waco understands the Hebrew language of 2,000 years ago, much less having read and understood the bible. I know from personal experience that people get terribly upset when they find out that what their preacher has been telling them is totally at odds with what the bible is trying to Impart. I so hope we never get another president from Texas or we're doomed.

WATCH: Kardashians Meet Their SNL Impersonators
Say what you will about the Kardashians, but the ladies certainly know how to laugh at themselves.
Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian (and their "fourth sister" Kris Jenner) had a ball hanging out with their "Saturday Night Live" impersonators at the E! upfront event in New York City on Monday night.
RELATED – WATCH: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Talk Trayvon Martin Case in Piers Morgan Parody on SNL
SNL's Nasim Pedrad, Vanessa Bayer and Abby Elliott, who have mocked the reality family in skits such as "Kim's Fairytale Divorce," impersonated the sisters in a similar spoof on stage — until the actual Kardashians showed up to call them out.
It's pretty funny.

The paragraphs below are a summary of what happened during the event, so if you attended or are simply interested in getting access to the slides and papers here are some useful links:
- Most of the extended abstracts have been posted online, along with posters and slide decks for the presentations.
- We have also published a few photos of the event here.
The event was kicked off by Prof. James H. Garrett, Jr., the head of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at CMU, during a lunch session. Zico and I then presented our view on the history and current state of NILM research, to set the stage for the rest of the talks. Our presentation can be found here.
Following this, we had a session on event-based approaches to NILM. The main talk for this session was by Michael Zeifman, from the Fraunhofer Center for Sustainable Energy Systems (CSE), and followed by short talks by researchers at CMU, Samsung and the iHomeLab in Switzerland. The second session of the day was on high-frequency approaches, which notably include the work of Shwetak Patel and his team at the University of Washington. For that session we had Sidhant Gupta from UWa as the main speaker, followed by a talk from Kevin Ashton, the general manager at Belkin International, and Hampden Kuhns from LoadIQ. Zico Kolter led the next session on non event-based approaches, followed by Oliver Parson from U. of Southampton in the UK (who also happens to have a blog on this topic).
The last session was focused on issues that go beyond algorithms for solving the problem. Industry participants from PlotWatt, Verlitics/Emme and Bidgely presented their perspectives on the problems that they have faced when trying to deploy the technology commercially. Then we had two presentations (from NREL and CMU) to showcase some academic perspectives on things to consider beyond algorithms.
We then had a brief informal discussion between all the participants and some speakers in an attempt to define two things: (a) future directions for standardizing the evaluation of NILM systems, and (b) the possible future of the workshop. The conversation around these two topics was not as in-depth as some of us would have liked, but nevertheless some interesting points were brought up. For instance, Krish Gomatom from the Electric Power Research Institute (ERPI) revealed that his team is in the process of initiating a set of pilot experiments to evaluate NILM technologies this year. His slides are available here. We also learned from Stephan Tomek that the International Energy Agency (IEA), through its 4E project is embarked on a scoping study to evaluate the potential of NILM technologies.
Regarding the future of the workshop, based on the interest shown by the participants and the realization of how large the community really is, I think that it is fair to say that there will likely be another workshop in the future. Whether it is twelve, eighteen or twenty four months into the future, I am not sure. It was very nice to see so many different researchers and practitioners come together. As I mentioned on a previous post, NILM research is alive and well in 2012, almost thirty years after its conception.

Levin v. United States
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Opinion (Ruth Bader Ginsburg)
NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released, as is being done in connection with this case, at the time the opinion is issued. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321 .
LEVIN v. UNITED STATES et al.
certiorari to the united states court of appeals for the ninth circuit
No. 11–1351. Argued January 15, 2013—Decided March 4, 2013
The Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) waives the Government's sovereign immunity from tort suits, 28 U. S. C. §1346(b)(1), but excepts from the waiver certain intentional torts, including battery, §2680(h). The FTCA, as originally enacted, afforded tort victims a remedy against the United States, but did not preclude suit against the alleged tortfeasor as sole or joint defendant. Several agency-specific statutes postdating the FTCA, however, immunized certain federal employees from personal liability for torts committed in the course of their official duties. One such statute, the Gonzalez Act, makes the remedy against the United States under the FTCA preclusive of any suit against armed forces medical personnel. 10 U. S. C. §1089(a). The Act also provides that, "[f]or purposes of this section," the intentional tort exception to the FTCA "shall not apply to any cause of action arising out of a negligent or wrongful act or omission in the performance of medical . . . functions." §1089(e). Congress subsequently enacted comprehensive legislation, the Federal Employees Liability Reform and Tort Compensation Act (Liability Reform Act), which makes the FTCA's remedy against the United States exclusive for torts committed by federal employees acting within the scope of their employment, 28 U. S. C. §2679(b)(1). Under the Liability Reform Act, federal employees are shielded without regard to agency affiliation or line of work.
Petitioner Levin suffered injuries as a result of cataract surgery performed at a U. S. Naval Hospital. He filed suit, naming the United States and the surgeon as defendants and asserting, inter alia, a claim of battery, based on his alleged withdrawal of consent to operate shortly before the surgery took place. Finding that the surgeon had acted within the scope of his employment, the District Court released him and substituted the United States as sole defendant. The Government moved to dismiss the battery claim, relying on the FTCA's intentional tort exception. Levin countered that the Gonzalez Act, in particular, §1089(e), renders that exception inapplicable when a plaintiff alleges medical battery by a military physician. The District Court granted the Government's motion to dismiss. Affirming, the Ninth Circuit concluded that §1089(e) served only to buttress the immunity from personal liability granted military medical personnel in §1089(a), and did not negate the FTCA's intentional tort exception.
Held: The Gonzalez Act direction in §1089(e) abrogates the FTCA's intentional tort exception and therefore permits Levin's suit against the United States alleging medical battery by a Navy doctor acting within the scope of his employment. Pp. 8–15.
(a) To determine whether the Government's immunity is waived for batteries, the Court looks to §1089(e)'s language, "giving the 'words used' their 'ordinary meaning.' " Moskal v. United States, 498 U. S. 103 . Levin claims that the operative clause of §1089(e), which provides that the FTCA's intentional tort exception "shall not apply" to medical malpractice claims, is qualified by the provision's introductory clause "[f]or purposes of this section," which confines the operative clause to claims alleging malpractice by personnel in the armed forces and the other agencies specified in the Gonzalez Act. The Government, in contrast, argues that §1089(e)'s introductory clause instructs courts to pretend, "[f]or purposes of" the Gonzalez Act, that §2680(h) does not secure the Government against liability for intentional torts, including battery, even though §2680(h) does provide that shelter. The choice between the parties' dueling constructions is not a difficult one. Section 1089(e)'s operative clause states, in no uncertain terms, that the FTCA's intentional tort exception, §2680(h), "shall not apply," and §1089(e)'s introductory clause confines the abrogation of §2680(h) to medical personnel employed by the agencies listed in the Gonzalez Act. Had Congress wanted to adopt the Government's counterfactual interpretation, it could have used more precise language, as it did in §1089(c), a subsection adjacent to §1089(e). Pp. 8–11.
(b) Under the Government's interpretation of §1089(e), the Liability Reform Act would displace much of the Gonzalez Act. That reading conflicts with the view the Government stated in United States v. Smith, 499 U. S. 160 . There, the question was whether a person injured abroad due to a military doctor's negligence may seek compensation from the doctor in a U. S. court, for the FTCA gave them no recourse against the Government on a "claim arising in a foreign country," 28 U. S. C. §2680(k). In arguing that such persons also lacked recourse to a suit against the doctor, the Government contended that the Liability Reform Act made "[t]he remedy against the United States" under the FTCA "exclusive." §2679(b)(1). This interpretation, the Government argued, would not override the Gonzalez Act, which would continue to serve two important functions: Title 10 U. S. C. §1089(f)(1) would authorize indemnification of individual military doctors sued abroad where foreign law might govern; and the Gonzalez Act would allow an FTCA suit against the United States if the doctor performed a procedure to which the plaintiff did not consent. Adopting the Government's construction, the Court held that §2679(b)(1) grants all federal employees, including medical personnel, immunity for acts within the scope of their employment, even when the FTCA provides no remedy against the United States. 499 U. S., at 166. Under the Government's current reading of §1089(e), the Liability Reform Act overrides the Gonzalez Act except in the atypical circumstances in which indemnification of the doctor under §1089(f)(1) remains possible, while under Levin's reading, the Gonzalez Act does just what the Government said it did in Smith. Pp. 11–13.
(c) The Government attempts to inject ambiguity into §1089(e) by claiming that 38 U. S. C. §7316, a parallel statute that confers immunity on medical personnel of the Department of Veterans Affairs, expresses Congress' intent to abrogate §2680(h) with the unmistakable clarity the Gonzalez Act lacks. But this Court sees nothing dispositively different about the wording of the two provisions, and neither did the Government when it argued in the District Court that §1089(e) and §7316(f) are functionally indistinguishable. Pp. 13–14.
663 F. 3d 1059, reversed and remanded.
Ginsburg, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, which was unanimous except insofar as Scalia, J., did not join footnotes 6 and 7.

This fine article amplifies why I have written that it is foolish for Republicans to fall on their swords to protect millionaires, many of whom are progressives. I am sad to see that The New Republic (a liberal but more of an old fashioned liberal magazine and when Martin Peretz was the Editor, a very pro Israel anti-Totalitarian magazine) was sold to a hard core leftist.
by Victor Davis Hanson
In his first term, President Obama was criticized for trash-talking the 1-percenters while enjoying the aristocracy of Martha's Vineyard and the nation's most exclusive golf courses.
Obama never quite squared his accusations that "millionaires and billionaires" had not paid their fair share with his own obvious enjoyment of the perks of "corporate jet owners," "fat cat bankers," and Las Vegas junketeers.
Now, that paradox has continued right off the bat in the second term. In the State of the Union, Obama once more went after "the few" and "the wealthiest and the most powerful," whom he blasted as the "well-off and the well-connected" and the "billionaires with high-powered accountants."
Like clockwork, the president then jetted to West Palm Beach for yet another golfing vacation at one of the nation's priciest courses, replete with lessons from a $1,000-an-hour golf pro to improve the presidential putting.
[……..] Meanwhile, below the stratosphere, unemployment rose to 7.9 percent for January — the 49th consecutive month it has been 7.8 percent or higher. The economy shrank in the last quarter of 2012, gas is back to almost $4 a gallon, and the government continues to borrow almost $4 billion a day.
Today, lots of liberal grandees attack the rich and yet do their best to act and live just like them.
Take financial speculator and leftist billionaire George Soros, who is back in the news. Soros is able to fund several progressive think tanks that go after the 1 percent because he is the most successful financial buccaneer of the age — notorious as "the man who broke the Bank of England" and who was convicted of insider trading in France. [……..] That made Soros $1.2 billion in just three months — enough capitalist lucre to keep funding Media Matters and other attack-dog progressive groups for years to come.
Facebook co-founder and Obama campaign organizer Chris Hughes just bought The New Republic and has rebranded the magazine as an unapologetic progressive megaphone.
How odd that hip Facebook just confessed that it paid no federal or California state income taxes for 2012 on its $1.1 billion in pre-tax profits from its U.S. operations alone. Odder still, Facebook will probably receive a federal-tax refund of about $429 million. [……..]
Perhaps treasury secretary-designate Jack Lew should have a look at Facebook's tax contortions. He should be familiar with the big-money paper trail, given that Lew himself took a nearly $1 million bonus from Citigroup after it had received billions of dollars in federal funds to cover its gargantuan losses.
Lew, like his tax-dodging predecessor, Timothy Geithner, has a propensity for doing just the opposite of what the president used to preach against. [……]
Obama also derided dubious Cayman Islands tax shelters. Yet he apparently forgot to tell that to Lew, who invested in a fund registered to the same Potemkin Cayman Islands building that Obama had used as a campaign prop to bash the 1-percenters.
One of the nation's best-known class warriors is former U.S. representative Jesse Jackson Jr. of Chicago, who for years has damned the wealthy for their ill-gotten gains. He is expected to plead guilty to fraud charges after he and his wife allegedly siphoned off $750,000 from their campaign accounts to pay for an assortment of 1-percenter extravagances such as a $43,000 Rolex watch.
Today's leftists like the high life as much as their demonized conservative rivals do. The more they damn the bad "millionaires and billionaires," apparently the less guilt they feel about living it up in Palm Beach or Aspen — paying no taxes, offshoring their profits, or wearing Rolex watches.
The vast growth of the federal government has splashed so much big money around New York and Washington that even muckraking progressives can't resist. Loud redistributionist rhetoric offers the necessary vaccination shot that makes privileged leftists immune from any criticism — or guilt — over indulging in tax avoidance, billion-dollar speculation, or aristocratic tastes.
George Orwell long ago noticed the same thing: In "Animal Farm" the pig elite loudly damned reactionary humans even as they sought to copy them by walking on two legs.

According to Fox 30 News, a man in Jacksonville, Fla., was arrested this week after his mother called the police to report that he had set the family dog on fire.
The woman's son, 21-year-old Devron Quarterman, allegedly poured gasoline on the family's year-and-a-half old Jack Russell terrier, "Zero," who was chained to a tree. Quarterman's mother heard the dog's cries and then observed the dog rolling in the dirt.
According to First Coast News, when the mother touched the dog's fur, it came off in her hands - she has stated that the dog's fur smelled like gas and it appeared to have been burned. Responding officers found a lighter in Quarterman's pocket and located a container of gas in the yard.
Quarterman was booked into jail on a charge of animal cruelty. The dog who was burned is apparently still residing in the home with the man's family - there is no word on the extent of the injuries the dog sustained in the incident.

Before examining your foot, the doctor will ask you about the types of shoes you wear and how often you wear them. He or she also will ask if anyone else in your family has had bunions or if you have had any previous injury to the foot.
In most cases, your doctor can diagnose a bunion just by examining your foot. During this exam, you will be asked to move your big toe up and down to see if you can move it as much as you should be able to. The doctor also will look for signs of redness and swelling and ask if the area is painful. Your doctor may want to order X-rays of the foot to check for other causes of pain, to determine whether there is significant arthritis and to see if the bones are aligned properly.
