SEASON RECAP: Alabama (42-25, 15-15 SEC) made its 21st NCAA Regional appearance during the 2010 season and advanced to its third NCAA Super Regional, where it fell one game short of the College World Series.
After closing the regular season with five straight wins to qualify for the SEC Tournament, Alabama won three straight postseason games over Auburn, Mississippi and Florida to advance to the championship game. Seeking its eighth SEC Tournament title, Alabama fell to LSU 4-3 in 11 innings in a championship game that pitted the No. 7 and No. 8 seeds against one another for the first time in league history.
Following its strong showing in Hoover, Alabama carried its momentum to the NCAA Atlanta Regional, where the Tide would meet No. 8 national seed Georgia Tech, Elon and Mercer in the four-team tournament. After an easy win over Elon in the opener, the Tide fell to Georgia Tech in the winner's bracket final. The Crimson Tide then reeled off three straight wins, including back-to-back wins over the Yellow Jackets to secure its seventh NCAA Regional championship and it's first on the road since 1983.

Bruce Johanson directs a 33-member choir at a rehearsal Thursday night for the Raise the Roof Concert at Ontonagon's Theater of the Performance Arts. The concert is tonight at 7. On the left, soloist Dave Kalivida sings, "When He Was on the Cross." At the piano is Glenda Zielinski.
ONTONAGON — Thirty-three singers and musicians from Christian churches throughout the Ontonagon area are coming together to help one church pay for a new roof.
The White Pine Community United Methodist Church roof leaked so badly that portions of it were unusable. The new roof costs $70,000 and a concert by the newly formed Community Christian Fellowship Choir will assist in helping out the congregation.
Singers and musicians represent the Ontonagon Assembly of God, Holy Family Catholic, Ontonagon United Methodist, Rockland St. Paul United Methodist, Redeemer Free Lutheran, St. Paul Lutheran, Siloa Lutheran ECLA, and White Pine Community United Methodist churches.
The choir is directed by Bruce Johanson, who also gives a short history of some of the hymns sung by the choir. The group held a dress rehearsal at the Theater of the Performing Arts Thursday. The program includes the Siloa Lutheran Handbell Choir, Christian Center Praise Band Victory 8:28 and several soloists.
The concert is tonight at 7 p.m. and is free, but a free-will donation for the roof will be accepted.

August 19,20,21, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
The Diplomate in Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics (DICCP) is a Board Certified credential in pediatrics for doctors of chiropractic administered by the ICA Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics. DCs with the DICCP credential are doctors who have completed this post-graduate specialty training co-sponsored by a CCE-accredited chiropractic institution and demonstrated competency in both the written and practical examinations conducted by the International College of Chiropractic Pediatrics, the testing body for the DICCP.
The program is currently co-sponsored by Palmer College of Chiropractic and the New Zealand College of Chiropractic.
The DICCP is a 360+ classroom hour course. All modules are structured and well-defined. The subject areas covered in the syllabus include all aspects of pediatrics ---from pre-natal, pregnancy, birth, infancy to adolescence. Each stage of pregnancy and of a child's development are covered in-depth so the practicing doctor of chiropractic acquires greater skills and competencies in a wide range of evaluative, diagnostic and assessment procedures, as well as corrective and adjustment skills for different stages of development as well as different needs. Also included in the curricula are expanded modules on radiology, nutrition, functional medicine and immunology, sports injuries, orthopedics, neurology, and special needs.
The syllabus is broad-based and comprehensive in content so the doctor of chiropractic develops the expertise to understand and apply appropriate clinical protocols in all situations and provides care that is safe, appropriate and always of a high professional standard.
Writing of research projects/papers are mandatory.
Candidates must complete the full 3-year program, all assignments/projects, and pass the final internal exam to be eligible to sit for the DICCP Board Examination. The Board examination is conducted once a year by the International College of Chiropractic Pediatrics, the Testing Body for the DICCP and consists of two parts -- written and practical. Testing is conducted by several examiners. .
Ongoing CE Requirements: Diplomates must complete 24 hours of continuing education in chiropractic pediatrics every three years in order to maintain their diplomate status. They must also attend at least one Annual Conference/Symposium presented by the ICA Pediatrics Council every three years and be members of the ICA Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics.
Fellowship: Diplomates who have been in practice for a certain number of years, present and publish research papers, teach at the postgraduate level, and contribute in any significant way to advancing chiropractic care for children and improving patient care, may achieve the distinction of a Fellow in Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics (FICCP). Fellowship is not automatic and is decided by a panel of Fellows on the Board. Fellows must be members of the Pediatrics Council and the ICA.

- Amazing hoody (Review by Melise )
The Salida Hoody is one of my all time favorites! It can be really hard finding a hoody that is fitting, flattering and still does a good job at performing its obvious duties of keeping you warm and comfortable. The Salida Hoody does a great job with all of these things! I especially liked the fleece lined pockets and adjustable hood. 5 out of 5 stars!!!

I have been sewing for years, first clothing, crafts, and most every thing. I got into quilting when I got a job in a quilt shop and worked there for 15 yrs. I started making dolls and santas and made them for years, hence the name. Now I am retired and just want to make some fun things. I am exploring a lot of new ideas all the time, is why I got interested in Craftsy. Just like to keep updated. Thank you, Joyce Giampapa

Qadisha Valley (Kadisha Valley)
As long ago as the 7th century tribes of Christian worshipers - ranging from Jacobites to Maronites - came to this secluded hideout to escape religious persecution and establish places of solace. Given this pious history, the Qadisha Valley is recognized as one of the most important Christian monastic settlements in the entire world. Just downstream from the historic Lebanese cedar groves is the Qannubin Monastery, the oldest of the four main Maronite houses of worship. In spite of being sacked by Mameluk sultans and outside forces during the Crusades, the Maronite monks nevertheless persevered to maintain their seat of worship deep inside the valley.
At the recently restored monastery of St. Anthony of Quzhaya—an imposing stone edifice which once housed over 300 monks— visitors can tour the place which housed the first printing press to ever grace the Middle East, a relic imported from London in 1584. They can also wander through the library, hermitage cave, and basement museum of the monastery.
Finally, if you've toured your share of monasteries and have already enjoyed the cedar groves, Qadisha Valley is the perfect place to head out on a network of well-formed hiking trails to peacefully commune with nature in the same way pilgrims have done for centuries.

T-Mobile USA's Nokia Astound (C7) to be launched on April 6?
Although T-Mobile USA has yet to confirm the launch of Nokia's C7, the Symbian smartphone is almost certainly going to be available via the fourth largest US carrier.
As previously reported, T-Mo's C7 will likely be called Nokia Astound (not Nokia Tiger – this seems to be just an internal codename).
TmoNews has it that the handset will be released on April 6 for $79.99 on contract.
$79.99 is definitely not a bad price for a smartphone with the features of the C7, which include a 360 x 640 pixels ClearBlack Gorilla Glass touchscreen display, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, Ovi Maps with free navigation, 8MP camera with 720p video recording, and 8GB of on-board storage space. Sure enough, Symbian doesn't seem to be a platform of the future anymore, but it will still be around for a few years anyway.
The Nokia Astound might be officially announced by T-Mobile USA at CTIA Wireless next week.

Eight B.C. women say they had sex with HIV positive men
VANCOUVER – A total of seven B.C. women have come forward telling cops in North Vancouver and New Westminster they had sex with HIV positive men without knowing that the guys were infected with the virus that causes AIDS.
North Vancouver RCMP are seeking four additional charges against a suspect for not telling women he was HIV positive.
Separately, New Westminster Police have issued a Canada-wide warrant for the arrest of a different man who has been charged with aggravated sexual assault for having sex with three women without telling them he was infected with the virus.
On May 19, Mounties had charged Adam Rollo with one count of aggravated assault on a woman. He failed to tell her he was HIV positive despite the fact he had known since 2003 that he was infected.
"Since the North Vancouver RCMP last notified the public, four additional women have come forward and provided enough evidence for investigators to recommend four more charges of aggravated assault against Mr. Rollo," said Cpl. Peter DeVries.
"Police are awaiting crown counsel's response to the recommendations. Mr. Rollo is currently under court imposed conditions that require him to disclose to any potential partners the fact that he carries the HIV virus," he said.
"Investigators want talk to all potential victims and witnesses in this case," DeVries stated.
Police have released a photo of Rollo and are asking other women to come forward.

October is a vibrant month for city of Austin. Fall weather (if you can call it that) begins to replace the hot summer temperatures. The many haunted houses in the city open their doors as Halloween approaches. Fall festivals are taking place in the area surrounding Austin, including the Fall Fun Harvest and The Fall Festival and Corn Maze. And, most importantly, Austin is host to not one, but two "similarly acronymed" music festivals during the month of October.
For many years, the city of Austin was host to one weekend of the Austin City Limits Music Festival. 2010 was the inaugural year of Austin Corn Lover's Fiesta, a more intimate music festival presented by San Antonio based label Saustex and the Hickoids. The two music festivals have existed during the same time frame since 2010.
This year, Austinites get double the fun as Austin City Limits isn't the only October music festival expanding to a two-weekend format. The Austin Corn Lover's Fiesta is following suit. So if you missed out on Austin Corn Lover's Fiesta last weekend in favor of Austin City Limits (or vice versa), don't worry: both festivals will be open again this coming weekend. For more information, visit the Austin City Limits website or the Austin Corn Lover's Fiesta website.
On last week's episode of the Chronolog, SXSWfm's Austin local music show hosted by writers for the Austin Chronicle, we previewed artists performing during the first weekend of both festivals. This week, we're previewing artists performing at weekend two of both Austin City Limits and Austin Corn Lover's Fiesta, including Not In The Face, White Denim, The Beaumonts, and more! Tune in Mondays at 12pm & 6pm CDT, as well as Tuesdays at midnight CDT, for an informative (and absolutely hilarious) look at the Austin music scene.

Technote (troubleshooting)
Languages such as Arabic are written from right to left (bidirection languages); users of these languages expect most user interface elements to be similarly positioned and all the text to appear in that language. However, when WebSphere Process Server Hypervisor Edition for Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86 (32-bit) is used with an Arabic locale for the operating system, the desktop icons are not placed as expected and the Platform Configuration Tool contains English text.
Users see operating system icons on the left side instead of the right side, and see English text inside the Platform Configuration Tool.
This issue is caused by a limitation in GNOME 22.214.171.124, which is packaged with WebSphere Process Server Hypervisor Edition. This version of GNOME does not offer full support for bidirection languages; icons are not mirrored, and Arabic characters were not correctly joined in the operating system GUI.
GNOME 2.20 offers full support for bidrection languages. See the following GNOME release note for details: http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.20/ .
Resolving the problem
The placement of desktop icons does not affect functionality; if you want to correct the issue, update GNOME to version 2.20.
There is no fix for the English text in the Platform Configuration Tool.

No matter what time of year it is, when you drive by Country Christmas and Collectible in Sevierville, the light displays outside are sure to grab your attention. The business not only displays these fantastic illuminating creations, they also make them in a non-descript workshop on the hill above the store. In fact, many of the custom displays made right here in Sevierville line the streets of Sevierville and other Smoky Mountain towns during Winterfest. You will also find their creations in towns scattered all across the country (and even Canada).
While the light displays are a big part of the business, it is far from all that you will find here. The store itself is 23-thousand square feet of everything Christmas. As soon as you walk in the door you will feel like you have been transported to a time and place where it is always "the most wonderful time of the year." One of the signature items at Country Christmas and Collectibles is the "snowing" Christmas tree. They come in various sizes and create the illusion that it is snowing no matter how warm it might be inside. The store also has trees in a variety of colors, themes and even a few that are upside down.
Are you into Christmas collectibles? Then you might want to give this store a look. While it isn't as "famous" as its competitor, "The Christmas Place" just up the road, you would be hard pressed to find the assortment of collectible found here. One of the biggest collections is nativity sets which include the internationally renowned Fontanini Collection. In fact, the designers of these exquisite works of art paid a visit here back in November. One of the collections stands several feet and will set you back thousands of dollars. Don't worry if you can't buy the big Fontanini Collection, there are plenty of much more affordable options in this simple, yet grand store.
Ornaments in a variety of themes and styles decorate trees throughout the store. You can even find ornaments and decorations for some other holidays like Halloween. So, if you still need something for your tree, a last minute gift, or just need a little something more to get you in the Christmas spirit then why not make a stop at this store. It's just a mile or so off exit 407 and just a short jaunt away from Shadrack's Christmas light show at Smokies Stadium, another great way to get into the holiday spirit.

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
Mira Schor blogs about the exhibition To Be a Lady: Forty-five Women in the Arts, curated by Jason Andrew, at at 1285 Avenue of the Americas Gallery, New York, on view through March 22, 2013.
Schor writes: "I figure that since the show is divided into two parts, installed along two separate sections of the space, with one side featuring the works of women artists who are deceased, and the other side featuring those of us still among the living, I feel that I can safely recommend the dead without incurring controversy among the other living artists in the show or referring to my own work in it or the ramifications of the word 'lady, ' which I know has stirred some controversy. Curator Jason Andrew of Norte Maar has assembled some terrific work in this show, a diverse group of works by notable artists and artists that some may be less familiar with, and in each case has included a very good example of the artist's work, and in some cases quite a surprising one. Again, I am just talking about the dead. The works are grouped in open bays or booths, creating in effect small mini-exhibitions with some interesting synergies."

Director for a Day: A Middle Schooler's View from the BalconyI love middle schoolers. One moment I am talking them through friendship issues and the next I am uncovering their wise and insightful understandings of the secrets of love as demonstrated in "Romeo and Juliet." In spite of the inevitable ups and downs in the life of a middle schooler, one thing remains constant - drama. What a perfect match-Shakespeare's teenage love as captured in both the play itself and in various film versions of it, and the real questions about love happening in their own lives.
After having examined the language of the balcony scene we watched two different versions of it on video - the 1968 Zeffirelli version and the now famous 1996 Baz Luhrmann one with Leonardo DiCaprio. As a class we discussed the settings: a balcony (one overlooking a garden and one overlooking a swimming pool), the costumes, the lighting, and the staging 9 (see handout). We discussed their ideas about why the directors of these films made the decisions they did. This ignited a spirited conversation about water and kissing and eye contact. My students were definitely engaged! We then solidified the discussion by writing up all our thoughts about the two films on a comparison chart. (See attached handout.)
We then moved on to a conversation about choice. Where would you set the scene? At what time? At what place? What would the costumes look like? What about the lighting-harsh or romantic? How would Romeo and Juliet interact with one another? What messages would this give the audience? What changes would you make?
I then divided the class into smaller groups. Each group consisted of three students-one director, one Juliet, and one Romeo. (Because I teach at a single sex school, I had girls play the part of Romeo, which of course sparked a whole different conversation about Shakespeare's all male thespians.) My students completed a Director's Sheet in which they had to decide upon an introduction, a setting, costumes, props, and lighting. The groups had to reach consensus before they could begin the staging of their piece. I then gave each group a copy of the actual text, and they wrote in the stage directions according to their Director's Sheet. Then it was all drama!
Each group acted out their scene with an introduction from the director. Finding simple props and costumes were all a part of the previous evening's homework assignment. Each group had to explain their choices and compare these to those made in the Zeffirelli and Luhrmann versions of the film. Then they acted out their scenes, and we videotaped them.
The next day we had an opening where we invited parents in to view our masterpieces. Before the "screening" each group had to explain their directorial decisions and compare these to the decisions made in the two "professional" versions of the scene.
By the end of the week, all of my students not only had an understanding of the language in the balcony scene, but they had seen two film versions of it and had created their own. When they evaluated this project, the students all said that using film and having to create their own version of it really helped them to appreciate the task that faces a director. They commented that directing is not as glamorous as they might have thought. But I could tell by their engagement and enthusiasm that it was fun!

The Toronto Raptors (16-16) have been on quite a roll lately, but even a red hot Raptors squad wasn't quite enough to unseat the two-time defending champion Miami Heat, particularly in the cozy confines of American Airlines Arena. A 102-97 Sunday night loss in Miami snapped the club's five-game win streak, but it also further established a team that continues to demand respect in the East.
Toronto's five-point loss to Miami represented their smallest final deficit in 14 games against the Big Three era Heat. Still, it was an unfortunate result for a visiting side that led by the same amount after three quarters. In the fourth, however, Miami opened on a 13-2 run and got 10 points from LeBron James en route to the narrow win. A late Jonas Valanciunas lay-up pulled the Raps to within two, but that's as close as they would get.
The Good:
DeRozan (Almost) Keeps Up with LeBron
LeBron vs. DeMar DeRozan, in stats: 30 points to 26, 12-18 shooting to 11-19, four rebounds to four, five assists to seven, 37:47 of playing time to 37:59. Four more points on one less shot gives the Heat superstar the ever-so-slight edge, but credit DeRozan with keeping pace. This wasn't just a one-off, either. DeRozan owns an 18.3 points per game career average against the Heat, third-most against any opponent.
The Starting Frontline
There were few aspects of Sunday's narrow contest that were significantly in favour of either squad. One such element was the battle of the starting big men. While Miami was represented by an ineffective Chris Bosh (2-9 shooting) and a barely visible Rashard Lewis (two points and four fouls in 11 minutes), Toronto received standout performances by both Valanciunas (17 points on 7-8 shooting and five rebounds) and frontcourt-mate Amir Johnson (17 points on 7-13 shooting, eight rebounds and three blocks).
The Bad:
Fourth Quarter Struggles
The Raptors have been outscored by double digits in the fourth quarter of each of the past two games. Now, two games is hardly a large enough sample size to identify any type of meaningful trend, particularly after the club had outscored their opposition by 39 points in the final 12 minutes of their previous four contests. Still, top teams reign supreme when the game is on the line and Toronto will still need to learn how to close out their opponents when it counts.
Leaning on the Starting Five
Many have looked at Toronto's tough early schedule as a positive sign, believing that it serves as an encouraging predictor for future success when the schedule inevitably eases. Yet, the reverse can be argued for the club's health / rotation depth. With Tyler Hansbrough out again for the Raps, it marked only the seventh time this season that a player has not been available to the team due to injury. That surely isn't sustainable, particularly when their starting five are logging such heavy minutes on a nightly basis (Terrence Ross saw the least court time of the five starters, at 33:34). Dwane Casey must find some reliability within the second unit beyond Patrick Patterson, as John Salmons, Greivis Vasquez and co. just haven't offered any signs of consistency.
The Random:
The Raps will stick around in Miami for one additional night (and who wouldn't) to avoid some of the winter weather wrecking havoc further north. Still, it will be a dicey travel day on Monday as they try to make their way to Indiana.
The Opposition:
The Heat appear to be 1-2 on their reclamation projects, with Greg Oden continuing to disappoint (the former No. 1 over-all hasn't gotten into a game yet for Miami) and Michael Beasley opening eyes. Beasley, who scored 17 points on 7-12 shooting in just over 20 minutes off the bench vs. Toronto, currently ranks fifth among NBA small forwards in PER (Player Efficiency Rating), according to ESPN.
Next Up:
If the Heat are tough to beat at home (they've lost just three games this season at the AAA), the Pacers are near-impossible, having lost just once at Bankers Life Fieldhouse this year (their only loss came to the Detroit Pistons, who somehow managed to knock off the Heat at home). Anyway, Raps are in Indy on Tuesday night (7:00pm, SN360).
Prediction: Pacers 97, Raps 96 (17-7 this season)

In a must-read book, Templetons Way with Money, the authors, Jonathan Davis and Alasdair Nairn, reproduce a memo written by Sir John Templeton to his clients in 1954 on calculating the normal level of stock prices.
The economic theory developed by Templeton, Dobbrow & Vance, Inc. for calculating the normal level of stock prices is simple. There are only three elements:
1. Stock prices would be normal if they bore the same relationship to current earnings as has been customary in the latest 20 years.
2. Stock prices would be normal if they bore the same relationship to the current cost of replacing the assets of the corporations as has been customary in the latest 20 years.
3. When, because of changes in tax laws or changes in the money supply, high-grade preferred stocks sell lower in relation to dividends than has been customary in the last 20 years, then it should be normal for common stocks to sell lower in relation to earnings; and vice versa.
Although the theory is simple, the actual calculation involves many thousands of figures. We take care to define accurately each word used in the three principles above; and then the arithmetic is worked out on the basis of a large sample of representative stocks.
The estimate of normal based on the three principles above is valid only when applied to a diversified list of industrial common stocks. Different principles are needed if we attempt to appraise the normal for any particular stock. In order that our calculations may be always up-to-date, normal for stock prices is recalculated each month.
In the latest 20 years normal has shown a strong upward tendency, partly because of the change in the purchasing power of the dollar, but more importantly because corporations have retained (after payment of dividends) a large part of their earnings each year.
Normal for stock prices based on the principles expressed above has been computed consistently at a higher figure than the figure arrived at by any other agency attempting to calculate normal. This has meant that the clients of Templeton, Dobbrow & Vance, Inc. have been more heavily invested in common stocks and this has been a profitable situation so far.

When the shooting took place June 20, 2014, in Charleston, S.C., locals barely batted an eye. After all, it was Charleston and like many cities in the U.S. the shooting death of a young, black, male hardly raises an eyebrow. What caught the attention of the media was that onlookers immediately claimed Denzel "Jaba" Curnell, 19, was shot in the back by a police officer.
SLED, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, was almost immediately called to investigate the possible officer involved shooting. The Charleston police officer at the scene, Jamal Medlin, was not on duty at the time of the incident; however, he was in uniform and working as a security officer for a local apartment property.
Denzel Curnell, briefly a Soldier, had been discharged from the Army about six months ago. Prior to his dismissal from the military he had been placed on suicide watch. He apparently was unable to adapt to military life and felt the need to return to Charleston for his family. His mother had passed in January of 2013, from cancer
Today, two weeks following the shooting, SLED released preliminary information that all evidence points to the likelihood that Denzel Curnell turned a weapon on himself, and with a single gunshot, took his own life. SLED determined that Jamal Medlin's departmental weapon was never fired.
Dot Scott, president of the Charleston NAACP branch spoke out immediately against the report, the Charleston police force, the investigation, and SLED investigators in general. In spite of the evidence, she is not buying their story and is insisting that footage from surveillance cameras that might have recorded the incident at an apartment complex, be released. She is also asking for the coroner's final statement.
Scott, whose organization has repeatedly stated that the mission of the NAACP doesn't involve crime reduction in local neighborhoods, is never short on criticism of local authorities. Last year Scott said Lowcountry police "officers consider it a 'badge of honor' to kill an African-American male."
The family of the Denzel Curnell has retained local attorney, Andrew Savage.
Jamal Medlin is on paid administrative leave.

Michelle Obama Makes Fun of Middle Class America, Takes $375,000 Vacation
Michelle Obama Takes
$375,000 Vacation
Michelle Obama is supposed to be the First Lady of America: charitable, of kind heart, of proper tastes and habits. Time and time again, we have seen Michelle Obama is none of these things.
Only months ago, we saw Michelle Obama dare touch the Queen of England with dirty hands, then only days later made fun of homeless people by wearing $500 shoes to a soup kitchen.
We've seen her dress in short skirts, daisy dukes shorts and even a string bikini as she grinded upon her date during her high school 'prom' picture. How can one of such low morals besmirch the office of First Lady any more? Simple: show contempt and distaste for every hard working America.
Michelle Obama is a modern day Marie Antoinette. Michelle Obama wants to have her cake and eat it too. She tries to play the 'from the slums' card, but in reality is a liberal elite with a Harvard education, and likes to take $375,000 vacations as America suffers. Yes, a $375,000 vacation, with your money.
Shock in Spain
Michelle Obama is a temptress and a deceiver. This weekend, Michelle Obama secretly boarded 40 of her friends upon a private jet and flew to Spain.
Unbeknownst to the America people, Michelle Obama made arrangements with the Spanish government to have closed off one of the most popular beaches in Spain. Shocked beach-goers were shuttled off to the side as Michelle Obama and her friends showed up, under heavy protection of American and Spanish security details.
As her friends frolicked, journalists managed to catch pictures of Michelle Obama eyeing up male beach-goers and living a lavish lifestyle of a pampered queen. The cost to the American taxpayer for each day of her vaction: $75,000.
Michelle Obama struts through Granada, Spain, with daughters and her 40 friends. Michelle Obama also ordered a detail of 70 private security to protect herself and her daughters during their extravagant vacation. Over 97,000 Americans lost their jobs this past week.
As if this were not enough, Michelle is immediately flying to Los Angeles, and then the post Martha's Vineyard, for a ten-day-vacation, as soon as she leaves Spain.
A rightfully outraged White House Press Corps fired questions at Press Secretary Robin Gibbs. Members of the conservative press pounded Gibbs, demanding to know why Michelle Obama is taking these expensive trips in the midst of America's financial woes. Why is Michelle spending our tax-money in such a hateful way, showing no respect to the sacrifice and struggles of everyday Americans.
Gibbs spoke on behalf of the Obama family with this paraphrased answer: "Michelle Obama is a private citizen, is the mother of a daughter on a private trip and can take vacations whenever she wants. She can spend [your taxmoney] however she pleases and I think I would just leave it at that."
Michelle and Sasha Obama visit luxurious Alhambara Palace, while this year alone, over 20 million American children are without health insurance. Over 56,000 Americans lost their homes last month while our public schools suffer and cannot afford new textbooks or a full lunch for students.
Criticism: The First Lady has been attacked for taking such a lavish and high profile trip at a time of economic difficulty
the estimated 70 Secret Service agents who will flank the material girl will cost the taxpayers a pretty penny.'
Barack Obama consistently speaks out against 'the rich' business leaders who exploit America, yet Michelle takes the most glitzy, glamourized and high profile vacation at the expense of the American people. Michelle Obama has 70 elite Secret Service members with her, which is not cheap.
Michelle's entourage has 40 friends, all having their trip paid for as well. They are staying at an exclusive hotel, eating meals such as lobster with steamed oysters and rice, all while shopping at the most expensive shops in Spain. Michelle even spent $300 on two knit tops, and spend substantial time in a silver shop, coming out with a business card and several order sheets.
As all of these crimes against decency were not enough, Obama is traveling through Spain in a 14-car-motorcade, living a life of pomp and circumstance that most middle-class mother's can hardly afford to have the time to dream about, but with the new school-year coming up, will be happy to know Michelle Obama's vacation is cutting directly into school budgets nationwide.
Beachside Shock
Armed police threaten beach-goers at gunpoint, demanding they move away from the area where they were relaxing, so Michelle Obama's daughters could go for a private swim.
The Obama family continues irresponsible spending from top to bottom. Barack Obama spends billions on endeavors that do not approve the economy. Michelle Obama jets around the world with all of her best friends, taking the most expensive vacations and charging the bill to my bank account and yours as well.

Christ D`Antoni really is a moron. We already knew that he only played Lin because he had no choice but to have a player of Lin`s ability and want to give him up for Antony Carter is almost too pathetic to believe.
CREDIT: Toronto Sun
Imagine if we traded Lin for AC and Toronto played Lin and he became huge there and it came out Mike didnt want to play Jeremy? They would be fired on the spot because they would be exposed as the FRAUDS they are lol.TORONTO - Like everybody else in the NBA, the Raptors could have had the accidental superstar, Jeremy Lin.
The difference between the Raps and all the other teams that missed out on their own version of Lin-sanity is they were forever close, forever knocking on the door, interested in Lin. Just not interested enough.
Bryan Colangelo liked Lin from the day he first saw him in a pre-draft workout in 2010. "We knew one thing about him after bringing him in," said Colangelo. "We knew he was one tough kid.
"He took one of the hardest hits I've ever seen on a court and one of the toughest falls. He got hit from behind, crashed to the floor, eventually got up. We didn't think he'd get up, to be honest. And he shook it off and continued the workout.
"We were extremely impressed by that."
The Raptors were impressed with his toughness — just not necessarily his game. They talked after the workout, the general manager and the Harvard kid, with Colangelo unconvinced Lin could play in the NBA, unconvinced he would be drafted. "I asked him, 'What's your status going to be if you're not drafted? Where are you going? Do you know who's interested in you?' I just wanted to keep the dialogue open."
The Raptors have had all kinds of opportunities to reconnect with Lin since that pre-draft crash but for various reasons and circumstances, it just never happened. But it almost did.
It almost did just a month or so ago. Earlier this NBA season, with the New York Knicks in complete disarray and relationships rather friendly between Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni, interim general manager Glen Grunwald, and Colangelo, there had been some serious talk about a deal for one of the Raptors' point guards. No one will say who approached whom about what, but if you play the elimination game, it was probably the veteran Anthony Carter, who was supposed to be heading to New York.
The Knicks thought they needed somebody, anybody to help and Carter, with 12 seasons of work behind him, was an inexpensive and experienced answer.
The situation got so bad for the Knicks that D'Antoni was actually telling people around the league that he had no choice, he was running out of players, that he had to play Lin. Not that he wanted to.
Colangelo, who can't talk about these kind of things, figured to himself that if he moved one of his point guards to open up a roster spot, there was the possibility he would add the tough kid, Lin, either by trade or waivers, depending on how the Knicks proceeded.
The deal was discussed but never happened.
Then the impossible and incredible occurred all at once: Lin got onto the Knicks floor and hasn't gotten off since, becoming the accidental star in the process. The undrafted Lin, who couldn't get a college scholarship, couldn't find an NBA job, got a start for the Knicks and the team going nowhere, with its stars, Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudamire out with injuries, hasn't lost a game since. Four starts, five wins.
Lin's totals, the best first four opening starts in history: 28-23-38-20 points in the four games, along with eight assists a night.
This is Rudy, only a better story and an athlete who can play. This is the short version of Rocky, but it's not scripted and it's not fiction. This is a Vince McMahon storyline playing out for real in the NBA. And this is a feature film coming to a theatre near you and Toronto is alive for a basketball night — the Raptors had to turn down media credentials for Tuesday night's game with the Knicks — because, frankly, there's never been a story like this one before, in any sport, at any time.
"We thought maybe he could help a team under the right circumstances," said Colangelo, sharing his thoughts on Lin. "But not quite like what (he's doing). This level is remarkable. It's also being done on the world's biggest stage. It's the Knicks. It's Madison Square Garden. He's doing it without Amare and Carmelo. It's just so many things coming together in this perfect situation.
"You have to give Jeremy credit. If it's one or two games, you can call him a flash in the pan. But the fact it's gone five games and he's distributing the ball and he's scoring 20-plus points, it's a great story. It's a testament to what kind of young man he is. He has more than a lot of us thought he had. Sometimes it's a very fine line between being in the league and not being in the league. He's not only toed the line, he's jumped to the other side of it."
And like most things NBA, that's great for Jeremy Lin, great for sport, great for basketball, just not great for the Raptors.

I cant believe D'Antoni didnt want to play Lin though even after what he had been showing in garbage minutes and against Boston. wow. what incompetance.
Christ D`Antoni really is a moron. We already knew that he only played Lin because he had no choice but to have a player of Lin`s ability and want to give him up for Antony Carter is almost too pathetic to believe.
mda was not going to trade lin. grunwald was going to trade lin.
if mda made these decisions we would have had a pg from the beginning of the season. if you want to hate on him for the right reasons im ok with that but if you're going to put things like this on mda it makes you look like an even bigger moron.
When did Lin arrive here, and when did he play in BOS?
This says a proposed deal of Lin for Carter (assumed) happened about a month ago.
But the deal didn't happen, which means we wanted to keep Lin, I guess? So is that MDA's genius? Or, if Lin goes it is MDA's fault; but if he stays (which he did), it is MDA's fault because he didn't outsmart the entire basketball world and God himself by making him into a NBA starter sooner?
This article couldn't even give an unnamed source, too. Says "nobody on either side will say who said what or who proposed what or who came to who".
AKA, writer of article knows absolutely nothing concrete, and is spinning one of the many obvious and routine player-trade talks that go on all the time in the NBA between GM's and management, yet never materialize.
so in the END....we got so F'in LUCKY
In the Celtics game he committed a foul behind the arc with 3 seconds left......Now where Dantonio should have seen the Balls on this kid is when he drove right back and got fouled to get 2 points back....But so he did not lay the 2nd half Dantonio waited for the NETS game.....remember he had the same choice the 2nd half of the Celtics game that he did in the NETS game...
I do not remember which Knick it was either Tyson, Amare or MELO who said that LIN did not look this good in practice....he held his own but they never thought he would play like this.....
I really dont care why or why not Dantonio waited this long BUT I do believe that the timing ended up being perfect absolutely perfect for all to happen the way it did.......
Lins HS Coach cannot believe it.....he had an awesome quote that when he was watching the Laker game Kobe and Lin were running up the court neither part of the action and Kobe put his hand on Lin, not to shove but not a tap to send a message you know there is a pecking order thing...Jeremy swiped his hand away.....like get the bleep away from me.....said jeremys a nice guy but he's cut throat.
If this is true, green rep for whoever finds video of it. I love that he's a nice guy but I wish he was a little less 'sunday school' nice guy. I would love for him to take a little bit of credit.
HS coach also said Lin did not take practice seriously and when he went to a part in HS if there was alcohol there he would leave.....so I do not see him out partying with the Knicks..
Hard to believe we got lucky....
On another note Dolan must be besides himself with Glee. To have a money maker like Lin on the Knicks and only have to pay him a few million for a few years......
Anyhow it proves the saying its better to be lucky than smart
