And what about those media companies the government owns?
June 21, 2012
|From John Roskam
The government says when wealthy people buy media companies there are 'very big implications for our democracy'. So what are the implications for democracy when the government runs its own media companies?
The IPA crunched the numbers.
Talking about freedom of speech – this blog by a British 9 year old school girl about what she had for lunch got 3 million hits. Until it got banned by the government.
This recap of Eurozone geography from the Adam Smith Institute in the UK last week is hilarious. Niall Ferguson's Reith Lecture this week is not so. He's got a great line – 'If the young knew what was good for them they'd join the Tea Party.'
Or they could move to Poland – this is from last month's Der Spiegel on a EU country that isn't a basket case.
The historian, Antony Beevor who the IPA brought to Australia a few years ago isn't too optimistic about Europe either. This is from the UK Telegraph, and a few weeks ago The Economist reviewed his new book on the Second World War.
Last week The Daily counted the number of Americans killed in Chicago compared to Afghanistan.
The IPA's Tim Wilson is in Rio with 50,000 other people who are also saving the planet. He reported from Rio on Lateline on Tuesday night and in The Australian Financial Review today.
No wonder Tim's got top billing at the Intelligence Squared debate 'Foreign Aid is a Waste of Money' in Melbourne 4 July. Details here and we've got free tickets to give away – if you want one email [email protected].
Before you buy the new Hilary Mantel book read these 3000 words from this month's Standpoint on how she's wrong about Thomas Cromwell.
There are still some tickets available for The Real Story of Climate Change and the IPCC with Donna Laframboise. Book for Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.
Here's what else the IPA said this week:

TC TO EDWARD CHAPMAN ; 28 January 1846; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18460128-TC-EC-01; CL 20: 114-115
Chelsea, Wednesday [28 January 1846]—
Dear Sir,
I have to bid you give my very kind thanks to the Gentleman who furnished those little French Documents of Cromwell.1 In some work or other I shall perhaps find room for them: the first of the three, if it had been in English, or one were perfectly sure of the translation, would be rather curious, dated as it is. I suppose there is no doubt of the authenticity of your friend, tho' he perhaps would rather not have his name mentioned?—
I have been so busy with Proofs and Cromwell rubbish of various kinds, I have not found time to write, till now when I am otherwise bound to find it. I am getting ready the Sheets of the new edition for America, if Mr Emerson see good to publish a new one there. I have volunteered to send them duly to him every month. The Packet sails on the 3d,—that is to say, a Letter put into our Post-Office that day will be forwarded to Liverpool by the evening mail (I think that is it), and go by the Packet on the morrow.
I will direct Robson to send you all the sheets he has ready on the evening of the 2d next (and following months, till we get done). And now in the meanwhile could you be so good as ascertain how they are to go,—and send them off in due time, addressed "R. Waldo Emerson Esq / Concord / Boston / Massachusetts";—and let me know on or before the morning of the third by what conveyance they are gone.— I remember he spoke of your Namesake in Newgate Street;2 that Mr Chapman too knows me, and is a faithful obliging man: he if you would speak a word with him, would do excellently well, and perhaps save you any farther trouble in the matter but what your Clerks could undertake. At all events, choose some safe way. And for one thing let us have no more to do with the Wily and Put-on-him Firm,3—in that or in any other matter! We have had enough of acquaintance with them. I believe; and can easily extend our connexion with that genus of persons, if we ever incline it!—
Of course I shall be very glad to talk with you on such a matter as the Miscellanies.4 There has a certain small addition (about the ¼ of a volume perhaps) accumulated since the last printing. Did you never think of a che[ap] edition of that Book? Yours always truly
T. Carlyle

Flash Review 3, 11-21: Christmas
in Berlin
MS Schrittmacher Delivers Ho-Ho-Hos, Aus Einer Wurzel Zart
(And the Cookies and Spiced Wine Aren't Bad Either)
By Angela Jones
Copyright 2001 Angela Jones
BERLIN -- Snow falling, jingle bells
jingling, the smell of cookies baking, and the taste of hot spiced wine. Ah, Christmas!
Somehow the German troupe MS Schrittmacher manages to package all that and more
into the multi-sensual, hilarious, jam-packed Christmas carnival extravaganza,
"Aus einer Wurzel zart"-Das Weinachts-Tanzstueck ("From a tender root," the Christmas
dance-piece), seen over the weekend. At times serious, at times tongue-in-cheek
and at times just plain wacky, Martin Stiefermann and Gilys Komova create a series
of vignettes that leave no aspect of Christmas untouched.
From the moment you enter the performance
space at Dock 11, you realize you have entered some kind of Christmas warp. The
two dancers look like furry snow people in a thin haze among perhaps 30 or so
large tree stumps. From here the mad rush towards Christmas begins, with frantic
cookie dough pounding (which the audience then gets to sample in the cooked version),
cleaning, tree trimming, and more. Then -- BLAM! Much to our shock, 20 real Christmas
trees fall from the ceiling and somehow stick perfectly upright into their corresponding
tree trunks (quite a technical feat). These trees then create a perfect set of
wings in which the dancers change costumes and from which they pull out their
different bags of tricks. They go from gently resting in front of a TV fireplace
to the hyper anticipation of a gift exchange. No matter how large or small the
package, the man always seems to get a tie and the woman perfume. Then in the
next moment, the woman screams "I want SNOW" and a whole load of it dumps itself
on her head.
Even though the end featured 20 toy
Santa Clauses running around stage, this piece was not just about a million and
one props. The dancers themselves displayed a wide range of movement as well as
theatrical power. They performed such pedestrian tasks as stuffing food into their
faces to music with the same integrity as they applied to dancing bits of "The
Nutcracker." Probably one of the most hilarious scenes was the duo's rendition
of a competitive ice skating pair. From the girl falling on her butt, getting
up and continuing to plaster a smile on her face to the cheesy rhumba dance break,
to the man watching for their scores, Stiefermann and Komova had it down to every
All the action was broken up properly
with some ironic, and more contemplative moments as well. A lonely single man's
Christmas depression felt visceral and real. As did a man somehow feeling the
movement of an angel he can't see. And as Komova began to struggle to sing the
theme song "Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen aus einer Wurzel zart" ("A Rose has risen
from a tender rootâ") she found herself being pushed, her body manipulated and
contorted until we could barely understand her.
But what does it all mean? So many
unrelated vignettes occur that just how the choreographer views Christmas as a
whole remains unclear. Each scene seems to be its own plastic snow ball toy, entertaining
and compelling but self-contained, not part of a bigger picture with a clear intent.
Upon leaving the performance, I did
not feel that I had a clearer sense of my own relationship to Christmas. But I
did leave with a smile on my face, a feeling of positive creative energy and of
having had every sense satisfied. When was the last time you smelled vanilla then
orange and spice then smoke then pine at a dance performance? Frankly, I think
if more dance companies gave out cookies and hot spiced wine during their performances,
dance might do better than it does.

Feb. 26, 2010
Stanford, Calif. - After a stormy afternoon in the Bay Area, Mother Nature actually cooperated as No. 15 Stanford fell just short in a hard fought game to No. 1 Northwestern, 18-11. The game was moved to Varsity Turf after heavy rains made the grass at Laird Q. Cagan Stadium unplayable. However, just before the game began the skies cleared and the two teams played under sunlight.
The Wildcats came to town as heavy favorites, winners of the last five national titles. However, the Cardinal accepted the challenge and gave the top-ranked team in the country all they could handle.
"I thought our team played tough," said head coach Amy Bokker. "Northwestern is a great team and I was glad that we were able to compete at that level.
Northwestern took an early 1-0 lead, but the Cardinal immediately responded with a Lauren Schmidt free position goal, making it 1-1. Schmidt was among the Cardinal setting the tone with aggressive play, corralling a pair ground balls and two draw controls.
Overall, the Cardinal did an excellent job with the draw controls, just being edged by the Wildcats, 17-14. Leigh Lucas led Stanford with three draw controls.
"I was really happy with our effort on draw controls, which is something we really worked on this week," said Bokker. "We were almost 50/50 against one of the best draw control teams in the country."
Northwestern built a 4-1 lead, but Stanford again bounced back on unassisted goals by Catherine Swanson and Dana Lindsay. From there the scoring went back and forth with Northwestern taking a 9-6 lead into the half. Julie Christy added a free position goal, Karen Nesbitt scored unassisted and Sarah Flynn capitalized on a pass from Leslie Foard to round out the first-half Cardinal scoring.
After Northwestern scored an early second-half goal, the Cardinal began to make things very interesting. Just two minutes into the second half, Christy found the back of the net on a great feed from Claire Hubbard. Then, just seconds later Christy scored again, this time on a pass from Schmidt. Christy had a hat trick and the Cardinal was back within two, 10-8.
Stanford did not step off the gas as they continued with an offensive flurry. Still just over three minutes into the half, Swanson added her second goal with another unassisted tally. Then Christy found Flynn just 22 seconds later and the Cardinal had evened the game at 10-10, just 3:31 into the second half.
Stanford's run of scoring was enabled by winning draw controls to secure possession.
From there, Northwestern seemed to settle down and show why they have won 30 consecutive games. The Wildcats outscored Stanford 8-1 the rest of the way, leaving the Cardinal to ponder how they managed to get back into the game, but then let it get away.
Carolyn Bradley scored Stanford's final goal on an assist from Dana Lindsay. Seven different Stanford players scored goals with five players notching an assist.
"I thought our offense was collective and worked well together," said Bokker. "We created good scoring opportunities."
Stanford is back at home on Sunday to face No. 19 Ohio State. The game is scheduled back at Cagan Stadium at 1:00 p.m. Stay tuned to gostanford.com for any updates on a venue change due to the inclement weather.

GiveBIG online push Wednesday to boost nonprofits
Seattle Foundation's second annual GiveBIG event will use technology to promote philanthropy in a day of online donations.
By Mary Jean Spadafora
Seattle Times
staff reporter
Seattle's success in technology and philanthropy will converge in 24 hours of giving back through The Seattle Foundation's second annual online GiveBIG event scheduled for Wednesday.
The event helps more than 1,400 local nonprofits raise money and awareness through online donations.
"The idea is to create a sense of excitement around one day in which the whole community comes together to support the nonprofits," said foundation spokeswoman Mary Grace Roske.
More than 19,000 individuals participated last year, donating from $5 to $60,000. The Seattle Foundation hopes to match or exceed last year's donations, amounting to $3.6 million, Roske said.
The foundation's sponsors have created what they call a "stretch pool." It works like this: If one nonprofit organization earns 3 percent of the total donated funds, that organization will receive 3 percent of the matching money in the stretch pool.
Nonprofit organizations have been creative in promoting the event.
For example, Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center, which provides horse-riding therapy to disabled children and adults, plans to use a mystery movie posted on its Facebook page to encourage supporters to donate. A Little Bit spokeswoman said each chapter of the movie will be released after a certain amount in donations has been received.
Individuals can go to the foundation's website to select their favorite nonprofit and donate as little — or as much — as they want.
Sponsors of the event include Boeing, Microsoft, Seattle International Foundation, Seattle Sounders FC, the Bezos Family Foundation and JP Morgan Chase.

David Tepper Dumps Pfizer, Yahoo
David Tepper's Appaloosa investment fund apparently has sold its entire holdings of its largest stock position, in Pfizer, and eased out of holdings in bank stocks including Wells Fargo and Bank of America.
A quarterly snapshot of Appaloosa's investment holdings showed no ownership of Pfizer stock as of Sept. 30. The months earlier, the firm owned 14.5 million shares of Pfizer.
Tepper also appears to have dumped his stockholdings in Yahoo, compared to 2.1 million shares he disclosed owning as of June 30.
Tepper also continued cutting stakes in banks during the third quarter, completely eliminating its positions in Bank of America Corp., Wells Fargo and Fifth Third Bancorp.
Earlier this year, Appaloosa made headlines for having boosted its bets on banks during the fourth quarter of 2010. At the end of 2010, Appaloosa held a total of more than $1.23 billion in the four biggest U.S. banks. But in recent quarters, Appaloosa has reduced its bank holdings significantly.
As of Sept. 30, the firm had completed exiting its remaining stake in Bank of America, which it had cut by more than 40% the prior quarter, and exited its positions in Wells Fargo and SunTrust Banks Inc. The only banks it held at the end of the third quarter were Citigroup Inc. and the American depositary receipts of Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC. It reduced its holding in Citigroup to 2.5 million shares from 7.2 million shares at the end of the prior quarter.
The firm also completely eliminated its stakes in Pfizer Inc., which had
been one of its largest holdings by value, a stake worth nearly $300 million as of June 30. It eliminated its position in Hewlett-Packard Co. and Yahoo, too.
Appaloosa scaled back on a majority of its holdings in the third quarter,
including reducing its positions in Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Macy's Inc. and Microsoft Corp.
Tepper's fund built new positions in the American depositary shares of BP PLC as well as in Dana Holding Corp.
Tepper specializes in distressed-debt investing and manages around $16 billion. He had a strong year in 2010 after turning optimistic about U.S. stocks before many hedge-fund rivals and, according to The Wall Street Journal, made between $2 billion and $3 billion personally last year.
Many investors who manage more than $100 million are required to disclose most securities holdings within a month and a half of the end of a quarter. The filings give the public a relatively fresh look at the portfolios of well-known investors.

The Ferris State University Mission states that our university:
"prepares students for successful careers, responsible citizenship, and lifelong learning. Through its many partnerships and its career-oriented, broad-based education, Ferris serves our rapidly changing global economy and society."
We are fortunate that our Founder, Woodbridge N. Ferris, who once said, "The highest work is that of social work," set a course for our university that resulted in a mission so consonant with our social work program.
Likewise, we embrace and promote the Ferris State University Core Values of
which are consistent with those of our program and our profession. These core values are in harmony with our professional values and are infused and highlighted in our collaborative efforts with others across the university as we strive to live them out and encourage our students to put them into practice as well.
The Ferris State University Vision also echoes the educational vision of the social work program when it states that we will be "the recognized leader in integrative education, where theory meets practice throughout the curriculum, and where multi-disciplinary skills important in a global economy are developed with the result that Ferris State University will also be:
(Ferris State University, 2008. http://www.ferris.edu/HTMLS/administration/president/vision.htm)
This vision is embedded in our curriculum and its realization will be evident in the practice of our graduates who will emerge as leaders and lifelong learners active in their communities on multiple levels.
The Council on Social Work Education in 2008 identified 10 Competencies in its Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards that all professional social workers should be able to demonstrate. These competencies are woven into our curriculum and our assessment of student learning.
These competencies are that each of our students will:

They are:
(NASW Code of Ethics, 1996, revised in 2008. http://www.socialworkers.org/pubs/code/code.asp)
Our faculty are learner focused and recognize, value and are committed to our non-traditional students who bring a wealth of life experience to their studies. We endeavor to develop transformational leaders through teaching and modeling as we recognize that many of our graduates will return to or assume leadership roles in their organizations and communities. We judiciously use traditional and cutting edge technologies recognizing their importance and potential in education and in social work practice. We recognize the importance of addressing specific life issues such as the effects of trauma, substance abuse, mental health and aging and foster a lifespan perspective. Our commitment is to graduate competent practitioners with the expertise and motivation to tackle many of our society's most challenging problems, as our founder Woodbridge N.

Video of Coach Rick Neuheisel's Media Day News Conference.
LOS ANGELES - UCLA Head Coach Rick Neuheisel Opening Statement for Media Day:
"Welcome back, everybody, to football season. It's an exciting time. It's what we work around the calendar pointing towards and obviously we are thrilled that it's finally here. We had a great meeting last night with the team, talking about our goals and aspirations for this season. We did mention to them where the prognosticators had us located, at the No. 8 spot in our conference, and hopefully we are going to be better than that. I know that we believe we can be and we know that there will be a lot of work involved in terms of dealing with a rigorous schedule. We feel like we have made some progress in our program over the last couple of years and we are anxious to get back into a conference title race and we're looking forward to having that happen. It is easy to talk about. Now we have to go out and do it. And that's why it is fun to be back in short pants and on the field."
"With respect to our football team, I believe we have some real strengths. Obviously our special teams are going to be a strength this year. We return the top kicker in the country in Kai Forbath. Jeff Locke had 20 kicks for touchbacks last year and was a real field possession weapon. He had over a 38-yard net punting average, which was in the top 20 in the country, so we have a chance to be a special (no pun intended) special team operation and I'm looking forward to that being a weapon. And I mentioned that to our football team because it bears mentioning that we just can't beat ourselves on either side of the ball. We just can't turn it over. We looked back, just bringing up one game, the Oregon game, and there we are giving up a kickoff return and an interception return in a game that is see-sawing back and forth and then we are out of the game. Those are the kind of things that as a football team, we can't afford. So we can't beat ourselves. And we are going to talk openly about turnover margin and making sure that we are as fundamentally sound as we can be. It is a challenge to our coaches to make sure that everybody understands that and that we get that kind of play from all positions and all factions of our team."
"I believe that we are going to be a faster team than we were a year ago. I think we recruited well in terms of speed. I think guys like Randall Carroll and Josh Smith are going to have an influence with respect to our speed. Damien Thigpen, Sheldon Price and all those other kids that are track-type guys also have a year of experience under their belt, so I think their speed will start to show up on the field. I'm very optimistic about our ability to run. In the last couple years we have sat here and talked about the issues with our running game and that's going to be a huge point of emphasis. It's the reason that we had to change and go and find some other answers. So we have incorporated some measure of the pistol offense, borrowed from Nevada. Hopefully we can put our own spin on it and have people calling it something that is more synonymous with UCLA than somebody else. But it's a movement and understanding that to run the football is pivotal to our success. Because it will help change the field position and lend itself to the kicking game that we've talked about and it will also take a lot of pressure off both the front, from a protection standpoint, and off our quarterback, as he continues to mature. But I believe that we are on the right page. I think that there is ample evidence that it can be successful. And now it's just about executing and that's what we are working hard at this time to get accomplished."
"I'm fired up about our quarterback. I think that his numbers were fairly good for a guy who hadn't played in two seasons. Remember he didn't play as a senior in high school as he lost that season to a knee injury. So for a guy who hadn't played in two seasons, to come in and play like he did, I think was admirable. Certainly there were growing pains, but I do believe that he has done the necessary work to master the offense, especially in the throwing game. He'll come into his own in the running game because he's got what it takes to be successful as a quarterback in this style of offense. And I just think it is fun now to finally have an experienced quarterback coming back to play. That, coupled with experience in the offensive line, lends more optimism and I believe that we are on the right track."
"We need to find big plays. I mentioned speed in Randall (Carroll) and Josh (Smith) and hopefully we can get big plays out of them. But I also think that Nelson Rosario and Taylor Embree, now back for their third year of experience, I think that we can start to jump with respect to their abilities to make plays down the field. I think Joseph Fauria, with his range, is going to be a big play type of guy. He's a 6-foot-7 target with great hands. And then we wait to see which tailback bursts onto the scene and can take it the distance. We saw Johnathan Franklin do that last year and we've seen glimpses of Derrick Coleman. And then obviously when you bring in Malcolm Jones and Jordon James and sprinkling in Anthony Barr, those are all three very talented guys, highly coveted guys, and it will be fun to see if they can have that magic that turns a seven-yard gain into a 70-yard gain."
"Defensively, the big question is how do you replace Brian Price and Alterraun Verner. Certainly those are tough guys to replace because they were big-play guys and game-changing guys. But that's the beauty of college football. Every team around the country has to replace somebody that they counted on and we are no different. I believe that with the development of our defensive line ¬- David Carter, Justin Edison, and Nate Chandler, having moved over there and had a very surprising success at defensive line in the spring, coupled with some incoming guys - we'll be fine in the defensive front. Only time will tell. And whether or not that we'll make the tackles for loss that Brian (Price) made, I think we'll have to wait and see. I don't want to say that we won't, but we'll have to wait and see. But we can make them at other positions. Akeem Ayers is a gifted guy. He's as good of a linebacker prospect as there is in the country. And I think that Pat Larimore, the way he flew around in spring ball and the way he looks coming back to camp at 245 pounds, I like what we are going to get out of him. Glenn Love made the transition to linebacker seamlessly and he and Sean Westgate is kind of a tandem, and then sprinkle in some of the young linebacker prospects and we'll see what we have. I think our safeties are great. Obviously we start with Rahim (Moore), a guy coming back with 10 interceptions last year and 13 in his career in only two seasons. I think Rahim (Moore) is a bona fide big-time player. He'll cause teams to lean away from him, which gives chances to guys like Tony Dye. I believe, that if you look at prototype corners, the body type is going to be an Aaron Hester or Sheldon Price. That's what they look like. They are 6-foot-2 guys with high hips that can both run sub-10.5 and now they have to go out and play. Both have gotten their feet wet, Sheldon (Price) having to come in because of Aaron's (Hester) injury last year. Both had great springs and we are anxious to see that they can be the kind of players that we believe them to be."
"I like our football team. I know there are questions marks as there always are with respect to experience. I know there are question marks because we haven't done it in the running game to date. And that's why the smart guys decided we were eighth. But I believe we are better than that. I believe we are going to prove that. And the good news is we do get to play the games. And I'm looking forward to that opportunity."
On lack of senior leadership:
"We don't have a great deal, but I still think we have some quality seniors and some quality senior leadership. I think Micah Kia is in that category. He's been terrific since I arrived. He's obviously had his share of adversity with the knee injury a year ago, but I think that he'll provide just that, that kind of senior leadership. Defensively, we've only got David Carter in the starting group, but he's at the point in his career that he wants to make sure that everybody gives their best, and I think that will be a positive with respect to leadership. I don't think you have to have seniors to do that job. I think you can have some other guys; certainly they look to Kevin Prince, a captain that was elected by his teammates. Rahim Moore and Akeem Ayers are in that category, and those are all quality choices as we get ready to go. But leadership will be a key, there's no question."
On whether or not Brian Price is the biggest individual loss in the Pac-10:
"For our football team, there's no question. I'd say Toby Gerhardt was a pretty good player for Stanford. There are a number of teams that were impacted in more ways than just what you saw on the field. But Brian (Price) and AV (Alterraun Verner) certainly were important guys to our football team."
On Micah Kia's health:
"Micah Kia is 100 percent ready to go. Right now, we are going to put him in the battle at the right tackle spot with Sean Sheller and Jeff Baca."
On Akeem Ayer's big plays versus mistakes:
"The only time Akeem (Ayers) gets into trouble is when he tries to do too much, because he has great instincts. When he tries to make plays that aren't really his plays to make, that's when he leaves a gap open and things like that. So as he matures and realizes how important he is to us, he needs to trust that we're going to give him chances to make plays. Whether it is in nickel packages or what have you, his numbers are going to come. Just play the defense as it is designed and play will be funneled back to you. But you don't want to take that completely away from him because we are the benefactor of his instinct."
On how the pistol offense plays into Kevin Prince's strengths:
"The easiest way for me to describe the pistol, and the Nevada coaches may cringe when I say this because it may not be anywhere close to what they envisioned, but I'd say it is a veer offense from the gun. Pistol is borrowed from the gun offense so the quarterback is in the shotgun. Normally in the shotgun, backs are offset, either to your right or to your left. In Oregon and Florida's offense, they almost always have a guy to the side and there's a lot of lateral movement. Veer offense is a ride to the side, if you will, where you are reading a guy as he's coming down hill and you are leaving an end of line defender unblocked so that you can get up to the next level with an offensive tackle or offensive guard or what have you. So our tailback in this new offense is directly behind the quarterback, maybe a half a yard to a yard deeper than he would be if we were under center. So we have the ability now to hold the defense. They can't just see lateral movement and predict which way this back is going. He could go either way. It has been hugely successful for Nevada. They had three 1,000-yard rushers last year, two tailbacks and a quarterback. And as our special teams coach, Frank Gansz likes to say, `that's proof.' That's validity. We believe that this can give us an answer. I know there's been a lot of question as to Kevin's (Prince) durability, how many times he can carry a ball. In watching the offense and having my own experiences going with a veer and a couple of veer schemes when I was coaching at Washington, the quarterback certainly does get tackled at times, but you can control how many times you want that to happen. In the plays that our quarterbacks got hurt, they were both passing plays where he was scrambling. So it is not as though you can completely take him away from harm's way."
On other alternatives looked at to help the running game:
"We looked at the top running teams in the country and saw what they were doing and certainly some just had great personnel and good depth. As we saw what we could get to and what we could get to fast, this was the one that raised its red flag and said, `hey, take a look at us.' And again, I have experience with some veer option and that was the only time my team was the leader in rushing yards, so I know that this can be successful."
On how much of UCLA's success depends on the quarterback:
"I think every team has to have a quality quarterback. There are examples around college football that the quarterback just has to keep from losing the game. But those are hugely talented teams. Those are ones that when they line up, have an advantage. In this conference, given the caliber of teams in this conference, we are not going to line up with that advantage. So we have to have great play from our quarterback, and I think we are on schedule. We played with a freshman quarterback last year. And we had growing pains. That's just part of it. But the upside is; now he's a sophomore and we have the benefit of all that experience. A number of teams lost their quarterback and now that have to have another guy rise up, and there's a learning curve, no question about it."
On whether or not UCLA was a team that needed the quarterback to not lose a game the last two years:
"Ideally, it would have been wonderful if we would have been able to limit the amount of times Kevin Craft or Kevin Prince had to throw the ball. But if the running game isn't getting done what needs to get done, you have to keep track of the score and find ways to get back into the game. So both of those kids had to come under duress because we were playing with inexperienced offensive lines and protection was an issue and that's why turnovers were rampant in year one. We tried to curtail that last year, but certainly it wasn't error free. It never will be error free, but we can be better. And you can create more big plays the closer people have to get to the box because you can actually run the football."
On what kind of balance (run/pass) the offense needs to be successful:
"In talking with Nevada, one of the things they felt they had to do was throw the ball better. We feel like we are close to where we need to be as a throwing team and we think our running game can help us. But we know what we are doing, throwing, and we can certainly complete more passes and get a higher completion percentage and we're looking for a few more big plays. But I think that will come because people will get closer to the line of scrimmage because we are actually able to get four yards a carry."
On the benefits of having more depth at practice:
"That's huge from a number of standpoints. Number one, you have more depth on gameday if somebody gets tired or hurt. Number two, you have competition, and competition makes everybody work a little bit harder. Playing time is the ultimate carrot coaches possess. And the more people are fighting for it, the better your team gets."
On the risk/reward of the pistol offense:
"Certainly there is a learning curve, and that's why we had to dive into it during spring ball and not spend any time doing anything else that we know how to do. And we are going to invest in it this fall. Does that mean it will be 100 percent of our game plan when we get to Kansas State, I don't think so. But we have to get to a level of efficiency at it that allows us to think that it's a prudent move. But, when you talk risk/reward, there was zero risk in making a change, because what we had done wasn't working. We couldn't sit and tell ourselves, like some person looking in a mirror and telling ourselves we're skinny, when we're not. You got to go get on a diet. You got to face the facts. And we had to face the facts that we needed to change who we were as a running football team and figure out another way to do it. Our depth isn't at a place that we can go out there and line-up and whip people doing things the old-fashioned way. You have to keep up with the trends in football and not be afraid to put your neck out there a little bit. I hope it is a permanent fix. Is it a permanent offense, no? But I want to be at a permanent place in the top half of this conference in rushing offense. Because if we could do that, I know we could handle the rest of it and we'll be right back in the conference race and we'll get back to UCLA winning Rose Bowls."
On how much going to a Bowl game and winning it helped the program:
"That was a huge thing for a number of reasons. Number one, it kept some semblance of momentum in the program. The December that we had, after a dismal November, kept some level of optimism to where we are going. It gave us another chance to bring in a quality recruiting class. When you are in living rooms talking about winning a bowl game and the direction your program is headed, that is terrific. And number two, and not to be lost, is just the experience for kids to get to go on a bowl trip. Especially to a city like Washington D.C., where more than half of our players had never been, and to see all history and great monuments that are a tribute to our country, it was deeper than just a vacation-type trip. And all that is great for the experience of college football."
Sophomore Quarterback Kevin Prince
On personal health and thoughts on summer workouts:
"I'm feeling great right now. This season has been a long time coming for me, so now I'm excited to start to get back on the practice field and prepare. I've been maintaining and improving my shoulder strength throughout spring ball and summer workouts. And now, obviously, the jaw is fine so I'm ready to go."
On pressure of upcoming season:
"I feel like Coach (Norm) Chow has done a good job of putting pressure on me from day one. On the first day of practice during my freshman year, he put me out there with the first string and told me that he expected me to do great things. And when I didn't, he would yell at me and tell me what to do, but then he would throw me right back in there. Now, this is my third season being a part of this team, and my second one playing, so it's the time to be the best that I can to lead this team in the right direction. I know I have the ability to be successful, so now it's all about eliminating mistakes. I'm looking forward in these next couple weeks to keep coming together as a family so we can be the fastest, most efficient group on the field."
On the pistol offense:
"I do enjoy this offense because it gives me the opportunity to improvise a little bit and change plays at the line of scrimmage to give us an extra edge on our side of the ball. I think it gives the running game a better chance to succeed, which is definitely something that is going to be very important to our success this year. We had some problems running the ball last season, but I think this spring was a good showcase for us. Spring ball showed that we can run the ball, and how that can open up the passing game."
On being team captain:
"It changes the game a little bit. I would have had to step up regardless as a second year starter, but it's definitely an honor to be voted into that position by your teammates. It shows the respect that I have of my teammates and that they are looking for me to lead them. I have had multiple talks with the coaches and guys on the team, and everyone has made it clear that they're counting on me. So now I can be a little more vocal than I was last year, both on and off the field. Compared to my season last year as a redshirt freshman, now I have a right to step in and say whatever I need to say to my teammates to get them on the right track."
Junior Free Safety Rahim Moore
On the offense:
"I think the offense has done a great job this offseason. The way that they were competing during the spring definitely showed that they have improved a lot. The way they run their routes, their strength, their courage and the way they approach practice are all signs that they have been working very hard on their side of the ball to be the best they can be. This year, the offense and defense are going to be equal components of our team and neither is more important than the other. I expect great things from our offense and I think Kevin Prince is going to lead us to the Promised Land. He's a lot smarter than he was last year and he's making better decisions and I think he's getting where he needs to be in order to be a key player for us this season."
On the defense:
"We are doing a great job of preparing for this upcoming season. We are missing a couple key guys from last year like Brian (Price), Reggie (Carter) and [Alterraun) Verner, but I think we have a lot of guys who are stepping up to fill their shoes. Guys like David Carter, Aaron Hester and Nate Chandler are all players who have been working extremely hard this offseason to prove that they can step up and be big players for us during the season. This is the best offseason we've had so far since I've been here, so I'm optimistic that good things are going to come. Everyone has been working their hardest during the spring and summer, so I think we are where we need to be in terms of conditioning and strength."
On personal improvements for this season:
"I have been working extremely hard to improve as much as possible for this upcoming season. I have done a lot of work in the weight room to be in the best physical shape I can, but I have also been putting in tons of time into film work. During my film sessions, I have been studying every part of my game to see where I can improve. For every snap, I look at where I am, how I am moving on the field, where I am making contact, and where I'm tackling. I'm just trying to observe myself as much as possible so I can be in the best position to make every play during the season. But my focus is not only to be the best player that I can be, but also to improve myself in a way that improves the players around me. If I can get everyone else around me better, then that puts me in a better position to succeed. Every day I'm working with different teammates to make sure that no one is being complacent and that everyone is focused on making themselves the best player they can be."

NBA Finals turn Miami Heat ballers LeBron James & Chris Bosh into fashion stars
"We always have that infamous walk from the bus to our locker room and that's when a lot of camera time is involved. People watch that a lot. They always show that on TV. You always want to make sure you have your clothes right and make sure you're looking good, and for me it helps with my game, because it makes me more serious, it puts me in the mood to go out there and do my job."
Chris Bosh in New York Magazine
Have you noticed that when it comes to the Miami Heat, the big ballers don't just battle on basketball court?
There are some serious fashion wars being waged as well.
And when it comes to two of the most stylish stars of the NBA – LeBron James and Chris Bosh – they have a secret weapon: fashion stylist Rachel Johnson (whose long list of A-list name clients also includes Amar'e Stoudemire, Serena Williams, Jamie Fox and Keyshia Cole).
Johnson works with both NBA superstars helping them define their sartorial image. It's not like she has to force them, both men enthusiastically embrace their fashion icon status. King James – who owns the Unknwn boutique in Aventura Mall – was even on the cover of Vogue in 2008…with uber model Gisele Bundchen no less.
And we are sure that Posh Bosh wasn't being literal when he said in Esquire magazine: "You might want to cut off some shorts and wear them with some boots and a cool shirt. That's fashion, because it's what you want to do. People can laugh at it, but you have to be like, 'This is cool. I don't know what you're talking about.' Next thing you know, people will be saying, That is kind of cool, man."
After all during last year's lockout Bosh Man hit New York fashion week, sitting front row at both Cynthia Rowley and Lacoste catwalk capers.
So we caught up with Johnson for a quick Q&A on her high fashion hoopster clientele:
How long have you been styling for both Chris Bosh and LeBron James?
"LeBron seven years, Bosh two and a half years
How much input do the players have on what you choose and pull from stores?
"Tons. Both LeBron and Chris each have a specific vision for the way they express their individual style."
Do either LeBron James or Chris Bosh go for any specific look or are they more hand's off and defer to your judgment?
"LJ is has timeless, classic sartorial tendencies. Bosh is completely, totally dedicated to presenting himself as a gentleman at all times and will more likely than not be seen in perfectly tailored suiting."
Do either Chris Bosh or LeBron James talk to you about what they've seen other players wearing?
"Yes. Truly stylish gentlemen always notice what other gentlemen are wearing."
Are there any favorite stores in South Florida that LeBron James or Chris Bosh prefer?
"The Webster on South Beach."
What are the biggest trends you see for NBA players right now, aside from those "geek chic" lens-less glasses?
"Besides the glasses that are a phenomenon of their own, I see perfectly tailored clothing, expressions of bold colors and an understanding that style creates brands."

Anti-Semitism and Der Sturmer on Trial in Nuremberg, 1945-1946: The Case of Julius Streicher
Date: August 1997
Creator: Bridges, Lee H. (Lee Hammond)
Description: The central focus of this thesis is to rediscover Julius Streicher and to determine whether his actions merited the same punishment as other persons executed for war crimes. Sources used include Nuremberg Trial documents and testimony, memoirs of Nazi leaders, and other Nazi materials. The thesis includes seven chapters, which cover Streicher's life, especially the prewar decades, his years out of power, and his trial at Nuremberg. The conclusion reached is that Streicher did have some influence on the German people with his anti-Semitic newspaper Der Sturmer, but it is difficult to ascertain whether his speeches and writings contributed directly to the extermination of the Jews in World War II or simply reflected and magnified the anti-Semitism of his culture.

Bach's Treatment of the Chorale in the Chorale Cantatas
Date: August 1950
Creator: Quist, Floyd Henry
Description: The Chorale Cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach are outstanding examples of his ingenuity. The existing data on the Chorale Cantatas are distributed throughout numerous volumes by many scholars. They have written much about the cantatas in general but not so much specifically about the chorales in them. In this thesis, the emphasis is on the chorales and Bach's treatment of them in the Chorale Cantatas. An historical approach to the cantata and the chorale is given as a preliminary to the treatment of the chorale in the chorale cantata. This was done that the reader might have a better understanding of them. The necessary material for this thesis was gathered from dictionaries, music lexicons, books, articles and the music principally in the Bach-gesellschaft edition. The material is organized according to the following plan: 1. The Church Cantata and its origin; the development of the Church Cantata in Germany; the use of the cantata in the worship service. 2. The Chorale, its origin and development; its changes as a result of the Reformation; its use in church services, and its use in musical composition. 3. Bach's treatment of the Chorale in musical forms. 4. Bach's treatment of the words of the ...

Early Educational Reform in North Germany: its Effects on Post-Reformation German Intellectuals
Date: December 1994
Creator: Peterson, Rebecca C. (Rebecca Carol)
Description: Martin Luther supported the development of the early German educational system on the basis of both religious and social ideals. His impact endured in the emphasis on obedience and duty to the state evident in the north German educational system throughout the early modern period and the nineteenth century. Luther taught that the state was a gift from God and that service to the state was a personal vocation. This thesis explores the extent to which a select group of nineteenth century German philosophers and historians reflect Luther's teachings. Chapters II and III provide historiography on this topic, survey Luther's view of the state and education, and demonstrate the adherence of nineteenth century German intellectuals to these goals. Chapters IV through VII examine the works respectively of Johann Gottfried Herder, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Leopold von Ranke, and Wilhelm Dilthey, with focus on the interest each had in the reformer's work for its religious, and social content. The common themes found in these authors' works were: the analysis of the membership of the individual in the group, the stress on the uniqueness of individual persons and cultures, the belief that familial authority, as established in the Fourth Commandment, provided the ...

The Effectiveness of Institutionalization of a Curricular Change in Department of Defense Dependents' Schools
Date: December 1995
Creator: Colvin, Janet D. (Janet Delores)
Description: In this study factors which affect the degree of implementation of a curricular change were examined to determine how well a specific curricular change was implemented in relation to the original intent. The change, Developmentally Appropriate Practice, was implemented in Department of Defense Dependents Schools, Germany Region, beginning in school year 1991-1992 in grades kindergarten through two. During school year 1993-1994, grade three began the transition to Developmentally Appropriate Practice. Several factors which influence teacher behavior during the implementation process were investigated to determine if there is a correlation between those factors and degree of implementation, the dependent variable. The independent variables in this study were school culture; administrators' leadership effectiveness; teacher concerns about the implementation; and teacher characteristics including age, years teaching experience, years experience in Department of Defense Dependents' Schools, and training. The degree of implementation, the dependent variable, was defined in terms of the extent to which teachers had changed their behavior to become congruent with behavior required by the change. Teachers were identified as high, moderate, or low implementers, based on classroom observations. One purpose of the study was to increase understanding of implementation by analyzing the factors which affect the behavior of teachers in the ...

Feed-In Tariffs - Boosting Energy for our Future: A guide to one of the world's best environmental policies
Date: May 2007
Creator: Rohde, Anja
Description: This brochure explains Feed-In Tariff (FIT) laws. The big challenge for the renewable energy industry has been to make the cost of clean energy competitive with heavily-subsidized conventional energy. Householders or energy companies who want to install wind turbines or solar panels are faced with lengthy pay-back times and are forced to make a choice based on ethics rather than economics. The Feed-In Tariff (FIT) has proven to be the most effective policy instrument in overcoming these barriers. This simple, low-cost mechanism has turned several European countries into world leaders in the renewables sector.

Franco-German Diplomatic Relations 1871-1939
Date: 1941
Creator: Madeley, Henry
Description: My purpose is to sketch briefly the diplomatic background of the existing relations between France and Germany from 1871 to 1939. I have told the story chronologically, because I believe that we must follow events as they unfold themselves if we are to understand why statesmen made their decisions. I have attempted to mass all the important facts that I could find on Franco-German Diplomatic Relations from 1871 to 1939 without self-interests or prejudices to either of the two nations. My intentions were to seek a general knowledge of the drift of Franco-German Diplomatic affairs during this period of seventy years.

A 73-year-old Vancouver man pleaded not guilty to first degree murder Wednesday morning in connection with the killing of his wife of more than 20 years.
Victor W. Frye, a retired U.S. Postal Service employee, is accused of shooting his 67-year-old wife, Nita, twice Nov. 12 after learning her plans for the couple's money following their divorce, according to court documents. He was arrested Nov. 13.
Clark County Superior Court Judge Daniel Stahnke set Frye's bail at $500,000. Since his arrest, Frye had been on a no-bail hold ordered by Judge Diane Woolard based on prosecutors' concerns over the defendant's danger to the community.
Scott Jackson, chief criminal deputy prosecutor, reiterated concerns Wednesday about Frye's access to firearms and asked again that he be denied bail.
Frye's court-appointed attorney, Gerry Wear, argued Frye should be granted bail because he has no criminal history. Frye has a history of alcohol abuse.
Stahnke also allowed Frye to retain Wear to represent him because Frye doesn't have access to his assets to pay for a private attorney. Frye has at least $108,000 in a joint bank account with his wife and a condo, Wear said.
Police responded Nov. 12 to the Frye home in a gated community at 3414 N.E. 83rd Ave. and found Nita Frye lying in the bathroom covered with a blanket.
In an interview with investigators, Victor Frye admitted to killing her, according to court documents.
He told detectives he found his wife's handwritten notes about her plans for the couple's money after their divorce. Enraged, he said he waited for his wife to arrive home later that day and then confronted her with a handgun, according to court documents. During an ensuing struggle, Frye said he pushed her to the bathroom floor and "snapped," allegedly shooting her in the upper torso with a 9-mm handgun.
He was reportedly suicidal and struggling with depression prior to the shooting. During his first appearance in court Nov. 14, he wore a suicide smock. He wore a standard orange jail uniform during Wednesday's arraignment.
His trial is scheduled for Jan. 28.

A castaway canine is spotted adrift on a piece of wood 30 miles off mainland New Zealand after storms hit the coast.
10:42, UK, Tuesday 17 June 2014
A dog looks like he must have been barking up the wrong tree when he was swept out to sea on a log.
The castaway canine was spotted standing on his makeshift raft by the crew of the Royal New Zealand Navy patrol vessel HMNZS Hawea in Smokehouse Bay, near Great Barrier Island, on Thursday.
A rescue mission was then authorised and a crew of four sent out to save the plucky pooch, who was found 30 miles off the coast of New Zealand's North Island.
Lieutenant Anthony Norris told the New Zealand Herald: "There was significant debris in the water and on one large log floating in the water was this poor, helpless dog.
"I would hate to think how long he was there."
There were heavy storms in the area earlier in the week and rescuers believe he may have been washed out to sea during them.
The dog has been reunited with its owners.

The Mustangs are 1-1 after the opening weekend of the season. SMU dominated ULM 6-1 in its season opener at Westcott Field, getting goals from five different players. The win gave Head Coach Chris Petrucelli his 350th, becoming just the 16th coach in college soccer history to reach that plateau. The team then traveled to Fayetteville, Ark., losing to Arkansas 3-2 in double-overtime on Sunday afternoon. Shelby Redman already has three goals, and three Mustangs (Courtney Smith, Taylor Barg and Rikki Clarke) are all tied for the American lead in assists with two. SMU will host both Colorado State and Baylor this Friday and Sunday. Friday's match time is set for noon, seven hours before the kickoff of SMU's first football game of the season. The Baylor game will begin at 7 p.m. on Sunday.
This match marks the first meeting between the two programs. SMU will play a total of seven teams for the first time this season - Colorado State, DePaul, ULM, Louisville, South Carolina, Temple and USF. The Mustangs are currently 1-0 against first-time opponents in 2013 after defeating ULM on Aug. 23.
CSU's soccer program is in its inaugural season. CSU hired veteran coach Bill Hempen in February. Hempen ranks 17th all-time in NCAA Division I history for wins with 277 and led Duke to the 1992 national title game. The Rams won their first regular season game in program history, defeating Lubbock Christian 3-0 on Friday. SMU then played at No. 24 Texas Tech, losing 6-0.
SMU holds a 9-2 series edge over Baylor, but the Bears got the best of the Mustangs lsat season, winning 2-1 in Waco on Sept. 14. SMU won six-straight in the series from 1999-2005, and won the first three meetings (1986-87, 1997) by a combined score of 12-1.
Baylor is 2-0 to start 2013 after beating both UTSA and Northwestern State 5-0 last weekend. The Bears will visit No. 23 Washington on Friday before coming to the Hilltop. Baylor is currently 11th and is No. 1 in the NSCAA Central Region rankings. Baylor advanced to the Sweet 16 in the 2012 NCAA Championships before falling to North Carolina in PKs. Ashley York is currently pacing the Bears with three goals and seven points through the team's first two games.
LAST MEETING: SMU LOSES TO BAYLOR 2-1 IN 20Ts (Sept. 14, 2012)
Shelby Redman tried to play the hero role for the second-straight game, but this time SMU could not come away with the victory, losing to Baylor 2-1 at Betty Lou Mays Soccer Field in Waco, Texas.
Redman's goal was set up after a corner kick by Courtney Smith. Smith sent a cross into the box and found Redman, who snuck the ball inside the post. Baylor had been outshooting SMU by a large margin in the second frame, but momentum quickly went to the Mustangs after more heroics from Redman.
"I think she's just gaining confidence," Head Coach Chris Petrucelli said. Confidence was instilled into the rest of the team, and the Mustangs feel as though they should have managed a tie against the Bears.
"It's disappointing," Petrucelli said. "We could have come out with at least a tie. We had momentum. We were in it and just let down there at the end."
Baylor provided many more scoring opportunities throughout the game, including outshooting SMU 17-2 after the first half. The Bears couldn't find the back of the net until the 61st minute, when Vic Hoffman netted one from 24-yards out off her left foot.
Redman's goal boosted SMU, but Baylor kept piling on shots, and a pretty collection of passes set up a goal by Hanna Gilmore in the 107th minute to seal the win for the Bears.
Smith ranked 22nd in the nation in assists per game heading into the contest, and tallied her fifth of the year on Redman's goal. SMU goalkeeper Lauryn Bodden collected a career-high six saves.
SMU Head Coach Chris Petrucelli earned his 350th career win the Mustangs' 6-1 victory over ULM at Westcott Field on Friday night. Petrucelli became just the 16th coach in NCAA women's soccer history to total 350 wins. He also ranks ninth among Division I coaches all-time. His career record is now 350-119-40 (.727), including a 198-32-16 (.841) record in home games.
The Mustangs are currently sitting at 197 total home wins since the program began in 1986. The earliest that the Mustangs could reach 200 would be Sept. 12 when SMU hosts TCU. SMU is 197-52-17 (.773) on the Hilltop, including an undefeated 5-0-2 mark in 2012. SMU has not been beaten at home since falling in overtime to East Carolina on Oct. 16, 2011, a span of eight games (6-0-2).
SMU was pegged to finish seventh in the inaugural American Athletic Conference preseason poll, the league announced Friday. SMU forward Shelby Redman was selected by the league's coaches to the American Athletic Conference Preseason Team.
The regular season opens with a home match against ULM on Aug. 23. SMU is coming off a 9-8-4 season, including an undefeated 5-0-3 record at Westcott Field and an appearance in the Conference USA semifinals.
UCF and Louisville tied for first place in the poll. The Knights and the Cardinals each earned 85 points. Rutgers redshirt senior Jonelle Filigno earned Preseason Offensive Player of the Year honors, while UCF senior Marissa Diggs was named Preseason Defensive Player of the Year and UCF senior Lianne Maldonado was named Preseason Goalkeeper of the Year.
The American Athletic Conference, based in Providence, R.I., rebranded July 1, 2013. In its inaugural year, The American is fortunate to be able to draw from the previous successes and traditions already established in its 10 inaugural women's soccer programs. The state-of-the-art UCF Soccer and Track Complex will host the first American Athletic Conference Women's Soccer Championship on Nov. 8 (semifinals) and 10 (final). First-round and quarterfinal games will be held at campus sites on Oct. 31 and Nov. 3.

Martin-dubbed the "American Tolkien" by Time magazine-has created a world that is as rich and vital as any piece of historical fiction, set in an age of knights and chivalry and filled with a plethora of fascinating, multidimensional characters that you love, hate to love, or love to hate as they struggle for control of a divided kingdom. It is this very vitality that has led it to be adapted as the HBO miniseries "Game of Thrones." This boxed set includes the following novels: A GAME OF THRONES A CLASH OF KINGS A STORM OF SWORDS A FEAST FOR CROWS

Don't start over, get the credit you deserve
Have you acquired knowledge through work and life experience that might be termed "competencies"?

When students realize they have already acquired college level material, they are motivated to finish that degree — in fact, two and a half times more than those without PLA credit, saving them time and money in the process. Mitchell College grants college credit through multiple PLA options. Recognized by national accrediting agencies, PLAs are evaluated by the Registrar for application towards a Mitchell College degree, or via the College Board for transfer elsewhere, and include the following:.
