The year-end spotlight will shine on the Senate this week as it considers final passage of the two-year budget deal, as well as confirmation votes on Janet Yellen to head the Federal Reserve Board and Jeh Johnson to lead the Homeland Security Department.
Other items already passed by the House will also reach the Senate floor, such as an annual policy bill for the Pentagon and legislation to extend the existing farm bill through January to allow for continued negotiations on a new, long-term version.
With the House already gone for the year, it is left to the Senate to approve the budget deal worked out by Rep. Paul Ryan and Sen. Patty Murray and that was passed by the House last week.
Heading into this week, some Senate Republicans have raised reservations about how the budget deal exceeds previously set budget caps and how it would also reduce some military pension benefits, while liberals worry about the exclusion of unemployment insurance from the legislation.
Yet senators acknowledge that without this deal, little else could pass and no one wants to take the blame for tanking a measure that will avoid another government shutdown come Jan. 15. So, expect the deal to get cloture, Republicans say, and then to pass.
Overall, the spending blueprint calls for funding government at annualized levels slightly more than $1 trillion through Oct. 1, 2015. It also would spare military and social programs of $63 billion in automatic "sequester" cuts, while allotting another $23 billion for deficit reduction — without raising taxes.
The Senate is expected to vote on cloture Tuesday and the final vote could come Wednesday.
Here are the other major items before the Senate this week:
- A vote is anticipated Monday on Johnson's nomination. Last week, Republicans protested the rules change that took away their power to block nominations, costing the Senate a great deal of floor time. But Republicans appear to have reached an agreement with Democrats heading into this week that would avoid additional hang-ups.
- On Wednesday, the Senate is expected to take up the National Defense Authorization Act, which the House passed last week. A sticking point, though, has been amendments, with Republican lawmakers bristling that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid closed the process.
- The Senate Judiciary Committee has set a hearing Tuesday on the issue of predatory patent-litigation practices.
- A vote on Yellen's confirmation is set later in the week, which will make her the first woman to head the Fed.
The timing of the anticipated vote on Yellen's nomination comes as the final Fed meeting of 2013 takes place Tuesday and Wednesday.
With the recent pickup in the economic data, economists are divided over whether the Fed will begin to taper its $85 billion monthly bond-buying program this month or wait until next year. The market-moving decision will be released Wednesday afternoon, followed by a press conference with outgoing Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
Analysts say they expect Yellen to speak following the Fed meeting alongside Bernanke on Wednesday, if she is confirmed by then.
Tight Schedule
Senate Democrats will need five Republicans to join them in invoking cloture on the budget bill before they can vote for final passage — and they're expected to get them. Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake of Arizona, as well as Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, said Friday that they would vote for cloture, and Republican leadership has indicated to their Democratic counterparts that they will have the votes.
Once cloture is invoked, the vote for final passage could come as soon as Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday.
Given the bill's prospects for passage, appropriators in both chambers are continuing their work to put together an omnibus spending bill for the remainder of fiscal 2014 at the $1.012 trillion top-line outlined in the budget agreement. The omnibus will need to pass before Jan. 15, or Congress will be forced to contend with another continuing resolution or government shutdown.
Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said Thursday that he was confident that appropriators will finish their work in time. "There's a lot to do. But they're good people, and they want to get it done. We're back the 6th; the House is back the 7th of January. We have one week to finish the deal and be able to make the January 15 deadline," he said.
Averting Amendments
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., and ranking member James Inhofe, R-Okla., say they are confident they can persuade enough of their colleagues to approve the National Defense Authorization Act without amendments.
But several Republicans have raised objections to that process, including Sens. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, and Rand Paul of Kentucky. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has said he wants assurances the Senate will take up Iran sanctions at a date certain before he supports the bill.
The House passed the defense bill Thursday before adjourning for the year on Friday, leaving the Senate with a take-it-or-leave-it option. There is much pressure to pass the bill, which enjoys a 51-year running streak and authorizes $552.1 billion in spending for national defense, including pay increases and hardship compensation for armed-services members.
On Iran, a bipartisan group of senators has been working on legislation meant to ensure that Iran dismantles any nuclear-weapons capabilities, including sanctions and other measures defining what a final pact should entail. But it is becoming increasingly less likely they will roll out additional legislation before the Senate adjourns. Either way, the Senate is not expected to act on the issue before the end of the year.
Measuring Inflation
New inflation data will be released Tuesday and a third reading of third-quarter gross domestic product Friday.
On Monday, the Brookings Institution will host an event on systemic risk in the asset-management industry; Richard Berner, the head of the Office of Financial Research, will speak about a report his office issued as guidance for the Financial Stability Oversight Council on the industry. Asset managers have pushed back against the OFR's findings, which could pave the way for them to be classified as "systemically important" and thus subject to tougher regulation under the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial-reform law.
White House Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Jason Furman will speak about economic policymaking in the Obama administration at a Tuesday event hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City.
The Senate Finance Committee will hold a Wednesday hearing on Social Security, defined benefits, and private retirement accounts.
Finally, U.S.-European Union trade talks over the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership are scheduled to resume in Washington this week.
Roster of Nominees
Two Senate panels will consider a raft of high-level executive-branch nominees Tuesday.
The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee will hear from nominees such as Rhea Suh, who is President Obama's choice to become the Interior Department's sssistant secretary for fish and wildlife and parks, and Victoria Wassmer, the nominee to be the Environmental Protection Agency's chief financial officer.
The Energy and Natural Resources Committee will consider nominees for key posts at the Interior and Energy departments, including Neil Kornze as director of Interior's Bureau of Land Management and Marc Kastner as director of DOE's Office of Science.
Holiday in Hawaii
In sharp contrast to the last few years when Obama's Christmas vacation plans were up in the air until the last minute because of fiscal-cliff and other budget deadlines, the president plans a quiet week at the White House.
No late-night crisis meetings are on the schedule — just a planned departure Friday for the annual family journey to the president's birthplace of Hawaii.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that President Obama would not have to sign the budget agreement for it to become law.

If a new poll is to be believed, Hillary Clinton has a big lead in the all-important swing state of Pennsylvania. A new Suffolk University survey shows her ahead of Donald Trump, 50%-41%. In a four-way race, she maintains her nine-point lead, 46%-37%. "Pennsylvania has voted Democratic in the past six presidential elections, going back to Bill Clinton's first win in 1992. Yet it is a rust belt state that could be in play, as indicated by recent general-election polling showing a close race."
"President Barack Obama has chosen Jackson Park, a lakefront park that once hosted the world's fair on the city's South Side, for his $500 million presidential library, according to a person familiar with the matter."
Wednesday was the third night in a row that the Democratic convention enjoyed a ratings win over the Republican convention last week. Which might have prompted a fundraising email from Donald Trump exhorting supporters not to watch. "Unless you want to be lied to, belittled, and attacked for your beliefs, don't watch Hillary's DNC speech tonight," the email read. "Instead, help Donald Trump hold her accountable, call out her lies and fight back against her nasty attacks."
The Clintons will retain their Secret Service "code names from the last time they lived in the White House. Hillary Clinton is EVERGREEN and Bill ClintonEAGLE. Donald Trump is MOGUL, according to reports, and Melania Trump MUSE. The vice presidents get code names, too: Mike Pence is HOOSIER—a little on the nose—and his wife HUMMINGBIRD. Tim Kaine is DAREDEVIL, somewhat ambitiously. His wife's? To be determined."

Internet In Uproar Over Texas CPS Bill, But It Probably Shouldn't Be
Beware, Texas parents! With a stroke of his pen, Gov. Perry may soon give CPS the power to pick up your kids without your consent.
That's why groups like the Texas Center for Family Rights, the Free Market Foundation and the Texas Republican Liberty Caucus are angry about SB 1440, which is awaiting Perry's signature. (They're fired up - Google "Texas SB 1440" and see for yourself.) The bill features a last-minute amendment tacked on by Democratic Rep. Patrick Rose that gives CPS the power to transport a child for purposes of an investigation without a hearing or parental consent -- the agency needs only an affidavit that says there's a "fair probability" of abuse.
But Joan Jenkins, a Houston lawyer and president of the Texas Family Law Foundation, says SB 1440 doesn't fundamentally change the game.
"Whoever is expressing concerns probably doesn't understand the full extent of the power of the court right now and CPS right now," Jenkins tells us. "To me, this bill does nothing except to give CPS an alternate manner in which to get a child who needs to be interviewed to the proper location if the parents are not cooperating."

Jenkins says the amendment to SB 1440 simply streamlines the inevitable.
"As a practical matter right now, if a CPS worker goes out to interview a child, and the parents come to the door and say, 'No, you can't see little Jimmy,' all [CPS has] to do is call the police and tell the police they need to go by for a welfare check," she says. "There are all kinds of remedies already in the family code that probably do as much or more than this legislation."
We should add that Jenkins isn't rehashing some established position -- she wasn't familiar with the amendment before we asked for comment and took some time to review it before offering her professional opinion. It's a perspective omelet made from the freshest of expertise eggs. (We should probably be investigated for cruelty ourselves if any kids happen to be exposed to that metaphor.)

In and out of Europe
"What happens now?"
It is a question I have heard a lot in the past couple of days, ever since the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe woke to the news that the seemingly impossible had happened and the voters had – just – decided for LEAVE, for Brexit and for the end of a 43-year relationship with the rest of Europe. The question means different things, depending on who is asking it. What happens now for the UK, in England and Wales, in Scotland and Northern Ireland? What happens now in Germany, or France, or the Netherlands, where the far-right and Eurosceptic politicians spent Friday celebrating as the rest of the continent looked on in horror and disbelief. And what happens now to me, still an EU-citizen living in Berlin thanks to my British passport, and to my daughter and others of her generation for whom the world, all of a sudden, seems a little smaller?
"Are you going to get German citizenship?"
This is another question I have heard over the past couple of days, to which the only answer possible when no one seems to have any clue what is going on or what is going to happen next is: Maybe. And maybe, having lived in Germany for fifteen years, I should have got my German citizenship already. After all, having committed to living in this country, I should have made the next logical step. But until now it was not, for me at least, a logical step. I did not want to get German citizenship because I did not – I do not – feel German. My own sense of identity is as mixed up as many peoples, I imagine. Part northern English. Part British. And yes, part European. And it was always that third part, the European part, which allowed me to feel there was no contradiction in living in one part of this Union of ours while maintaining citizenship in another.
In Brandenburg
We travelled north, out from Berlin along the bumpy autobahn that exits the city via Pankow and which is presumably too important a commuter road into and out of the city for it ever to be closed to fix its legendarily uneven surface. From the Berliner Ring – the German capital's M25 – we left the motorway and continued our journey on overland roads that made their way through forests, villages and between fields. Even outside of the large patches of forest that cover much of the state, many of the roads through farmland are lined with a single row of trees; avenue streets through the countryside. Trees, woods and forests. Add about a thousand lakes and that, to my mind at least, is Brandenburg.
Sometimes, when you drive, ride or walk through the state that completely surrounds Berlin, it feels as if there is no one there; as if there is some kind of force at the heart of the city – the TV Tower perhaps – that sucks people towards it to leave behind a depopulated, forgotten hinterland where wolves and wild boar roam the forests and black kites share the skies with white tailed eagles. There are people of course, some 2.4 million who call Brandenburg home, but that number has fallen by about 8% since 1989 and German reunification a year later and it is predicted to fall further still. And when I think about Brandenburg, this land beyond Berlin's borders, I don't think of Potsdam or Cottbus or the old one-industry towns lined up along the Oder and the Polish border, but empty villages, empty lakes and empty lanes. The word that first comes to mind is sleepy. Spring, summer, autumn or winter; it doesn't matter. There will be space in the market square, on the forest trail, at the beach on the lakeshore.
Around Holyhead Mountain, Wales
When sitting in the back of the car as we crossed Anglesey as kids – slowly, because the dual carriageway hadn't been built yet – we were always searching for the landmarks that meant we were nearly there. There was one point, the crest of a low hill, where the road cut through some rocks beneath a white cottage surrounded by gorse bushes, that we would see through the gap in the front seats and the car windscreen the vista that told us we were close. The Rhoscolyn Coastguard lookout. The reverse cigarette of the Anglesey Aluminium tower. Holyhead Mountain.
A little more than 200m high Holyhead Mountain is easily the highest point on Holy Island, higher than anything on Anglesey, and although that is not particularly tall when compared to the peaks of Snowdonia a few miles away, it is still a striking lump of rock that sits above the port town of Holyhead and falls directly into the sea on two sides. The Romans built a lookout tower there, which gives it its Welsh name of Mynydd Twr… and it appears to have been a place of settlement and human activity for thousands of years. It has had chunks taken out of it as it was quarried for stone and the cliffs below its summit are popular and populated with any number of bird species who share the slabs with rock climbers dreaming of white horses as kayakers ride the waves beneath their feet. We have been coming here for years, mainly to the South Stack Lighthouse and the Ellins Tower RSPB centre, but this time we were going to walk the mountain.
Not up it, but around. Read more…
Just like going home – Rhoscolyn, Wales
Long time readers of Under a Grey Sky will have seen pieces about Rhoscolyn before, and here comes another one, but I make no apology. As someone who left the UK at the age of 22 and has lived in Berlin for almost 15 years, and whose parents no longer live in the town that I grew up in, the idea of "home" has always been an interesting one to me. And if there is one constant in my conscious memory, the one place that has changed through the years but – really, when it comes to my emotions about the place – always stayed the same, then that is Rhoscolyn, and specifically Outdoor Alternative, home to my Uncle and Aunty, cousins and whatever it is kids of cousins are to me or to Lotte (we have this discussion on every visit).
Over Easter we returned again, to that field with the views across from Holy Island to Anglesey and beyond, to Snowdonia. When the weather is good it feels as if you can make out the climbers reaching the top of those peaks. When the weather closes in you can feel as if this collection of buildings along a dusty track is the very end of the world. This time, on arrival, we did as we always do and walked the headland around to the beach, following at the same time the waymarked trail of the Anglesey Coastal Path but also the personal topography of memory and my fellow members of the Red Devils, who explored every patch of heather and gorse, sandy cove and rocky inlet, and gave them names and stories and drew maps that made the place truly ours… and now, as we walked that headland again, I could still picture those maps in my head as I told some of those stories to Lotte.
27 Years
On the 15th April 1989 I was nine, and I can remember playing a game with my younger brother Sean. We were in the bedroom of our house in Burscough, messing around on the bunk beds. At some point we wandered downstairs, to get a drink or a 'Toronto Snack' – a fruit salad like the ones I used to get at nursery in Canada when Dad was teaching there for a year and Sean was just a baby. In my memory we came into the living room to find him watching the television.
"Something's happened at the match," is what I remember him saying. I remember the green of the pitch and the blue of the sky and the people milling around on the grass. People running as they carried others on makeshift stretchers. A line of police. As the afternoon progressed we learned of the deaths. 10, 20, 30… until it got to 95. Mum and Dad never hid the truth of the world from us, and so we knew what had happened but of course, at nine years old, I don't know if I could really comprehend it. That night and over the next days Dad met many of the survivors as they returned from Sheffield. He knew, we knew, the truth from the beginning, whatever that newspaper wrote. A week after the disaster we went with Mum and Dad to Anfield, to pay our respects and to leave scarves on the pitch in front of the Kop. At 3.06pm we were in Stanley Park and held the line of scarves that linked Liverpool and Everton. It was the start of a bond between the two clubs, between the two sets of fans – between the people of Liverpool – that remains to this day.
96 people went to a football match and never came home. We have long known, but now we have it decided by a jury, that they were unlawfully killed. This was the first injustice of Hillsborough. The shameful cover-up by the police and the other authorities, enabled by the establishment including elements of the press, was the second injustice. That it took 27 years to get to where we are today, in which time many family members died and survivors lived with a guilt they should never have had to take upon themselves, that was the third injustice.
From those first days after the disaster Hillsborough became a part of our lives. Not, of course, in the way that it has been for the families and the survivors of the disaster, but through Dad's work it has shaped us as a family for the past 27 years. When I think of Dad back in the 1990s, as Sean and I grew up from the children we had been at the time of Hillsborough to the young adults who reflected on the tenth anniversary of the disaster, I see him with a pad of papers on his lap and a pen in his hand. In Burscough on the couch as we waited for Match of the Day. On Anglesey, outside our tents. In the car park of Formby Hockey Club on a Sunday morning, as Sean and I trained and he wrote, and marked and read. I can remember going in to Edge Hill during half term, to help sift through the Stuart Smith Scrutiny. I remember the proofs of Hillsborough: The Truth on our kitchen table.
He needed to do it like this because Hillsborough, and the many other campaigns and injustices he worked on, came on top of his job at Edge Hill. But he was always there for us. When we came home from school. Friday night guitar lessons. Hockey matches across the North West and beyond. Concerts in Liverpool and Manchester. And all the while, in the background, was Hillsborough.
In his work with the families, from the Hillsborough Project via No Last Rights, Hillsborough: The Truth, and later the Hillsborough Independent Panel report and now the inquests, they became our family friends. We didn't think of them as "the families", but as people who celebrated birthdays with us, helped me move out of university, and came to visit us in Berlin after both Sean and I made our homes in the German capital. So I think I can speak for Sean when I say that we never questioned Dad's commitment to the families and to the pursuit of justice for the 96 who died that day. It was what he could do, what he was excellent at doing, and what he had to do…. He shouldn't have had to, but in all his work Dad has been driven by a desire to challenge authority, fight injustice and speak truth to power.
Sometimes I know that it felt hopeless, especially in the long, fallow years leading up to the 20th anniversary of the disaster in 2009. But if Hillsborough teaches us anything it is that you can fight for a cause that is right and just, fight with dignity and without resorting to the tactics that so often are used against you, and you can win. What the families, the survivors and their supporters have done is remarkable, and I am immensely proud of my Dad's role in it and the love and support his partner Deena has given to both him and the families during that long journey.
On the 26th April 2016 I was thirty six. Three quarters of my life has passed since that day Sean and I were playing in our room in Burscough. As I tried to follow the inquest verdicts in Berlin Sean called me from London.
"Are you watching?" he asked, but I couldn't get the stream to work. "Unlawfully killed," he continued. "It's what we wanted…"
"What about the fans?" I asked. I got the BBC News stream up and running just as the question flashed up on screen.
"I think its No," he replied and then the journalist confirmed it.
Unlawfully killed. Fans exonerated. Justice after 27 years.
I put the phone down and sat at my desk. My partner Katrin was at work, my daughter Lotte – who is exactly the same age now as I was in 1989 – was at school. As the reality of the verdicts hit home, as the families emerged into the sunlight to hold hands and sing 'You'll Never Walk Alone' I began to cry. I have done that a lot over the years. Watching the Memorial from Anfield each year, feeling very far away. Watching Dad and the rest of the Panel deliver their findings in the Cathedral. But this felt different. Yes, the journey is not over. Yes, there must be accountability. But this, in the words of Margaret Aspinall, felt like the peak. That we had reached the summit.
I have only ever once written about Hillsborough before, in the aftermath of the Hillsborough Independent Panel report and I described it as a "shadow lifted." But the biggest shame – and yet another injustice of Hillsborough – was how, during the inquests, the authorities attempted to cast those shadows, of lies and smears, once again.
No chance. The truth is out and justice is coming.
The day after the verdicts I was reading the Liverpool fans website Red and White Kop, where I read a comment about Dad, Hillsborough and the impact it must have had on his life and that of his family. My only response is this: 27 years is too long and the sacrifices for everyone – for the families, the survivors, and for my Dad and Deena – were too large, but what choice was there? You have to keep going. You have to.
I couldn't be more proud.
Justice for the 96. You'll Never Walk Alone.
Hey, where did March go?
As always I started the year resolving to write a little more here on Under a Grey Sky, and for the first couple of months of the year it seemed to work out okay. And then came March. We began the month with a journey south as part of what has become an annual tradition around Katrin's birthday to find a place to explore somewhere between Berlin, Leipzig and Dresden in order to bring her together with her closest friends and their families. This year we ended up in sleepy Torgau… the picture above is the main market square on a Saturday afternoon. Torgau is famous as being the place where the American and Soviet troops first met at the end of the Second World War, and infamous for its history as a place of detention both before the war, during the Soviet occupation, and throughout the history of the GDR. So part of Katrin's lighthearted birthday stroll was spent exploring an exhibition entitled Traces of Injustice… this also appears to be part of a tradition as two years ago we were wandering around Colditz castle.
But a day trip to the banks of the Elbe river was not the main reason for Under a Grey Sky radio silence. In fact there were two. Firstly, this happened:
That is us launching the third edition of our magazine Elsewhere: A Journal of Place. We had chats on stage with contributors, drank some beer and gave some readings and the whole evening was a lovely celebration of another six months of hard work and (we think) great writing and illustration about places around the world. If you haven't yet had the chance to get your hands on a copy, all three editions are available – take a look at our online shop if you are interested.
The second main reason for a lack of posts in this neck of the woods was that we spent the second half of the month away in Rhoscolyn, perhaps my favourite place in the world and that I will finally be writing about in the next issue of Elsewhere, published in September. We did some walking along the coast and in the mountains in glorious weather, some catching up with family, and some sitting in a caravan in the rain (all part of the experience). We collected plenty of inspiration for these pages and beyond, which I hope to get online soon. We returned not only with those stories but Katrin took hundreds of photographs and we brought home a new mug for our collection. So as I sit in Berlin and eat my breakfast, I can imagine I am in that bustling cafe in Llanberis, just down from the hills…

Above the city, Prague
The sounds of the city began to fade as we climbed the steep slope up from the river embankment; the squeal of the trams as they turned the corner to cross the bridge; the siren of a police car racing past the Rudolfinum on the opposite bank; the bells from any number of churches, whose spires rise up above the Old Town and, as we climbed higher, came more and more into view.
At the top we reached Letná Park we could see beyond the narrow streets of the Josefov and around Old Town Square, out to the TV Tower with David Černý's babies ever crawling up the sides. After a few days of staring up at the castle we now looked across the ridge to it, to Petrin Hill and down the river towards the National Theatre, the New Town, and some modern tower blocks beyond.

2010 Dietary Guidelines
2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans Released
June 15, 2010 - The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee has released its 2010 report on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The report consolidates and summarizes dietary research from the last five years and provides nutritional recommendations for the public. For the first time, the DGAC report addressed eating behaviors, such as skipping breakfast, snacking, and eating fast food. The report also made a first-time recommendation that children, adolescents, and overweight or obese adults restrict their intake of sugar-sweetened beverages.
The guidelines conclude that in order to prevent obesity and chronic disease, Americans should:
- Minimize "screen time." There is a well documented connection between spending time sitting in front of the television or computer and obesity. "The strongest association," notes the report, "is with television screen time."
- Eat at home. Home-cooked meals are typically smaller and better balanced; they're also less likely to contain excess levels of sodium and trans fats. The report notes: "Strong and consistent evidence indicates that children and adults who eat fast food are at increased risk of weight gain, overweight and obesity."
- Consume more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Americans get too many of our calories from processed foods. "Efforts are warranted to promote increased intakes of vegetables (especially dark-green vegetables, red-orange vegetables, and cooked dry beans and peas), fruits, and whole grains…among all ages."
- Minimize consumption of added sugars, refined grains, and sodium. Both children and adults are over-consuming foods from these groups. "Americans should reduce consumption of calories from solid fats and added sugars; intakes of refined grains are too high. Children and adults should lower their sodium intake as much as possible by consuming fewer processed foods that are high in sodium, and by using little or no salt when preparing or eating foods."
- Enjoy more physical activity. As a nation, we need to get moving. Says the report: "People of all body weight classifications gain health and fitness benefits by being habitually physically active. Some physical activity is better than none, and more is better."
The full text of the Dietary Guidelines is available at the DGAC website.

Utah Utes basketball: Utes ask recruit to nullify scholarship agreement
SALT LAKE CITY — When Josh Hearlihy signed a letter of intent with Utah in November, head coach Larry Krystkowiak said he "could be a real diamond in the rough for us."
Months later, however, the Utes apparently want a more polished gem. The Los Angeles Times confirmed that the 6-foot-7 senior from Harvard-Westlake High in North Hollywood, Calif., has been asked by Utah to nullify his scholarship agreement.
"I was very excited about going to Utah when I signed my letter of intent in November. However, the coaching staff has reconsidered their commitment to me and has asked to be released from their obligation," Hearlihy told the newspaper in a statement. "I turned down scholarship offers and stopped exploring other options when I signed."
The Times noted that Hearlihy could sign with another Division I program or attend a prep school this fall.
"Given the situation at Utah, I'm concerned about putting myself in an environment where I'm not wanted," Hearlihy said in his released remarks. "It is still my dream to play college basketball and I will continue to work hard every day to make that dream a reality."
After averaging 14.5 points and 5.4 rebounds as a junior on a team that went 29-5, Hearlihy was limited to 14 games as a senior because of what reporter Eric Sondheimer of the Times described as "non-surgical treatment for a condition related to growing too quickly."
Hearlihy, who did not play from Dec. 14 to Jan.28, wound up averaging 12.6 points and 4.4 rebounds last season. Harvard-Westlake finished 20-10 overall.
The decision to withdraw Hearlihy's scholarship reduces the Utes' November signing class to West Jordan star Jordan Loveridge (6-6, 225), Southern Utah transfer Dallin Bachynski (6-11, 230), returning LDS Church missionary Jeremy Olsen (6-10, 235) and Georgia high school product Justin Seymour (6-3, 195).
Point guard Brandon Taylor (5-11, 150) of Pacific Hills (Calif.) High is expected to join the mix with a signed letter today.
All of the new additions are expected to enroll at Utah in time to join the team on a planned foreign tour this summer — allowing the revamped roster the opportunity to play games and practice together before the fall.
The newcomers join a squad that has undergone a major overhaul for the second consecutive year.
Center Jason Washburn and swingman Cedric Martin are the only major contributors returning from the 2011-12 team that went 6-25 in Krystkowiak's first season at the helm and the program's first campaign in the Pac-12.
David Foster, a 7-foot-3 senior center who missed last season with a foot injury, is also planning to be back. The trio are joined by a pair of junior transfers — point guard Glen Dean (Eastern Washington) and shooting guard Aaron Dotson (LSU) who sat out last year as per NCAA rules.
Utah still has two scholarships available for 2012-13.

City Secures Anti-Terror Funding, Will Support Surveillance Program in Downtown Manhattan
In the face of steep cuts, the city will receive millions in anti-terror funding, Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand announced this morning.
New York City has secured a total of $151,579,096 in Urban Areas Security Initiative Funding, which comes from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
In a release sent out this morning, the senators said that the UASI program is the lifeblood of New York's anti-terror programs and funds a massive surveillance program for downtown Manhattan -- which is also being expanded into Times Square and midtown.
They also announced that New York is set to receive the entire funding pot of $22 million for a program called Securing the Cities. It funds a New York Police Department program used to detect potential radiological devices that are brought over bridges and tunnels into Manhattan.

New York's funding stream will remain stable while the rest of the country is forced to weather a 42 percent reduction, Schumer said.
"This is a major victory for New York City and a strong acknowledgement that Homeland Security dollars should be allocated based on risk, and risk alone," Schumer said in the release. "It's a sound and sober decision and reflects the fact that New York City remains the number one target for terrorists who wish to do the United States harm."
Earlier this week, Schumer spoke out about the Iranian diplomats assigned to work at the United Nations, urging "additional scrutiny" of the Iranian mission in New York.
His statements came on the heels of a series of terrorist activities overseas that targeted Israeli officials and were found to be linked to the Iranian government.
The news of this funding also comes a few days after Mitchell Silber, director of intelligence analysis for the NYPD, told the Daily News that New York City is "essentially" the number one target of Iranian terrorists.
In other New York City public safety news, Mayor Mike Bloomberg praised the passage of a bill today that will allow first responders to transmit critical, real-time information during emergencies. The "interoperability legislation" will allocate a portion of the broadcast spectrum to public safety -- a recommendation of the 9/11 Commission.
"In New York City we have worked tirelessly to make interoperability of emergency communications a reality...Congress has finally made progress on one of the key recommendations of the 9/11 Commission. This action will not only benefit the public safety officers who risk their lives while performing their duties but will also help every American they serve," Bloomberg said in a statement.

We have been "disrespected"
Well, what a week. Somebody "disrespected" Lawrence. We are allegedly too liberal. Seems to have stirred up a lot of comments. Frankly I am little concerned that we may be too liberal from the standpoint of some of our legislators – kind of a badge of honor. What does trouble me is the number of posts defending our liberalism by attacking the people in the rest of Kansas.
Do some of you really think Mr. Phelps speaks for very many people?? If you do where did you get the data to make that assertion?
Do some of you really think everybody in the rest of Kansa believes in creationism? Where does that data come from? The fact that our state school leadership has at times tried to insert it into our curriculum is not IMHO a basis for a broad brush condemnation of all the people across the state. I might point out this issue arises in other states.
Do you really believe that any significant number of people in this state support killing doctors because they disagree with how they practice their trade?? From where did that notion come? History is replete with crazies of all political persuasions.
Some of the issues banded about are IMHO a bit more complex then the litmus test being applied.
Could some people be arguing that our schools should not be anti – religious? Both Darwin and the Big Bang are theories – there remains room for questions - not on the science but on the limits of science. Nobody knows how life began. If you want to believe in a lightening strike – fine. On the other hand what is threatening to you if some people want to see the hand of a higher power in the process? Can we not give them room?
Now we did vote to preclude "gay" marriage. Was that bigotry or aggravation. Some years back a majority of the populace supported full legal protections for all committed couples. Unfortunately the argument then degenerated into a fracas over the term "marriage". Was there not enough room out there to allow those committed to that term continued ownership rights for another generation as long as the legal protections were available to all? Semantics can be a real challenge and no group owns the language.
Late term abortion is not something supported by large portions of the population. The trivial notion that those opposing it are denying woman their rights belies the complexity of that issue. To some the child also has rights – particularly once the child is viable. Demonizing those who hold that view seems IMHO to be avoiding the legitimate moral deli mina that troubles many people.
Last time I looked the sign down the street says University of Kansas not University of Lawrence. The employees/students at KU work for the people of Kansas. How can you work there or attend school there if you really believe the people you work for are bigoted, stupid and uncompromising? Perhaps they are more generous and are willing to accept such treatment. On the other hand, they just might ask their legislators to chasten their tormentors.
Diversity means accepting difference. Does diversity here at KU mean accepting of others but only those who share our opinions.
Think about it.

And, the point of this "essay" is what?
whatadrag 5 years, 6 months ago
puts stuff in perspective, I doubt you read it
xclusive85 5 years, 6 months ago
Wow George, I agree with every point you made in this essay.
I believe the point of this essay was to display his dissapointment in the people, especially the people on the LJW message boards, who are generalizing the majority of Kansas residents (conservatives) with "facts" that are not necessarily true. I believe that disappointment comes from the posters being impulsive and irrational in the face of being "disrespected."
George, please correct if you feel the need.
Scott Morgan 5 years, 6 months ago
Bravo, clap, clap, clap, Do you really believe that any significant number of people in this state
I think your quote is the key. I certainly hope our local elite don't believe the rest of the state, or in total Great Plains citizens sit around with a dumb stare sucking thumbs.
I read an LJW article maybe 8 or 10 years ago topic being KU instructors taking a few weeks to tour other parts of our state. The rational was developing a better understanding of where our in state students come from.
sulliedotcom 5 years, 6 months ago
I agree with Seagull. I don't get it.

Sorry for the confusion. I wrote this blog in response to the way some in this space were responding to Representative Brown's comments. I drew comments from several letters and other blogs focused on that event and addressed a set of those here.
At the last minute the shooting in Arizona broke and seeing the same class of comments I referenced my blog on that thread. It really is not specific to it and if you came here from there you just might have a problem following. However the comments above by xclusive85 pretty much encapsulate my motives.

Climate Policy Tracker Tracks Progress in 33 States
The New America Foundation's Climate Policy Program has launched an online tool that allows state-by-state tracking of hundreds of carbon and energy saving measures.
The State Climate Policy Tracker details each state's climate action plan. It provides data on climate actions across six economic sectors, and reports on the progress of each measure, its cost or cost-saving potential per ton greenhouse gas (GHG) removed, and the estimated annual reduction in carbon emissions.
According to New America, the state climate policies being followed by the Policy Tracker are essentially a de facto federal policy. The tracking tool includes information on states that have completed plans and those that are in process of completing plans. The tracker will be updated periodically.
The Policy Tracker was compiled from publicly available information. New America says since 2006, 33 U.S. states have created climate action blueprints to guide greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions efforts. These blueprints, often with a reduction target, contain on average 50 policy recommendations, says the foundation.
According to New America much of the state climate action planning was facilitated by the Center for Climate Strategies, a non-profit expert group that works with state governments across party lines to develop a blueprint for climate action. These state measures are segmented by energy efficiency and conservation, clean and renewable energy, transportation and land use, water, education, cross-cutting issues (inventories, cap-and-trade, etc.) as well as agriculture, forestry and waste management.
The availability of online tools for tracking GHG emissions, carbon footprint and energy use have been on the rise over the past several months. To name a few — Total Emissions Analytics (TEAL) software from Noblis, the Green Grid's "free cooling" tool, and Rackspace's carbon calculator.

Seven Years Later, Mary Ann Vecchio May Finally Be Living Down Kent State
"It really rocked me," Vecchio recalls. "I was riding in a car in Indianapolis and heard my name come over the radio." Everyone was looking for the girl who saw it all and vanished. "A newspaper guy found me and said he'd get me a plane ticket to California if I'd talk to him. I said okay, and then the FBI walked in." She was sent home but ran away again.
One of six children in a strict family, Vecchio bummed around Mexico, Canada and California. She worked as a waitress and as a cook on a Caribbean freighter. In 1973 she was arrested in Miami for prostitution and fined $50.
She was constantly reminded of Kent State. Canadian TV tracked her down for a documentary and she was interviewed on 60 Minutes. Now Mary Ann may be settling down. She is engaged to a security guard, Bif Lerner, 21, and has been taken in by his family. She has enrolled in a community college to earn a high school diploma (she dropped out in the 10th grade). "I'm not interested in politics or changing the world," she says. "I was young. People were trying to use me. They called me a Communist. I've learned a lot from what I've done." Recently she was approached about a TV series based on her experiences. "But I'm not rushing into anything. I'd like to make some money—just enough to build a little house in the country. And I'd like to forget about Kent State."
Mary Ann Vecchio is 21 years old.
