A Vietnamese man has pleaded guilty to pretending to be an immigration official in a scheme to collect cash from immigrants seeking U.S. citizenship.
Forty-two-year-old De Hieu Tran also pleaded guilty Tuesday to wearing a Purple Heart award given to those in the Armed Forces who are injured or killed. Prosecutors said Trans also claimed to be a U.S. Marine.
The Grand Rapids Press reports that Tran is subject to deportation after he completes his sentence. He faces up to three years in prison for impersonating an agent for U.S. Immigration and Customs, and one year for unauthorized wearing of a Purple Heart.
Tran's attorney, Scott Mertens, says his client did not believe he was subject to deportation prior to the criminal charges.

Another advantage that the 89 team had was players playing together for a longer period of time. We are happy that we had the same OL for 1 year together. It wouldn't surprise me if the 89 team had the same OL together for 5 years. The 89 49ers had to play against defenses with more advantages in pass defense, and they still sliced up defenses. They would have carved up teams even more if the defenses were hamstrung with today's rules.
Players today are bigger and faster, so it is hard to know how that would have affect such a game, but it is really the only advantage that today's team would have over the 89 team.

TravelPod Member ReviewsElizabeth Street Inn Newport
We were able to bargain for a good price. The hotel is in a great location with all rooms ocean view. Good breakfast... well, better than a doughnut and coffee.... with smoked salmon chowder served at 5PM and bedtime cookies at 8. Not sure what that was about but they were tasty!. Rooms big, small microwave, clean.

Historical Traveler Reviews Elizabeth Street Inn Newport
'eh. kinda sucked really
Thought the reviews here about the (lack of) service might be just a few bad experiences, but nope...the service really does lack. Not friendly, not helpful, just not fun. The rooms have a nice corporate, airport hotel room feel and a price to match. Heck, I'm complaining about the price and I even had $220 in free scripts. Heh.
Basically, we came in the middle of winter (way off season), no one was there, and when I mentioned...how much for an upgraded room...I got the full price quote. Oh well, guess they would rather blow an extra $140 than get a definate $50 to $100 extra with no effort what so ever.
Really not a big deal, but just imagine what responses one might get if someone had a legimate complaint.
Go elsewhere. If I were you.
Always a great stay
after having an absolutly terrible stay at the shilo inn (just next door to the elizebeth) my husband and i desided that our next stay we would stay at the elizebeth inn. every visit there has been exceptionally great. the rooms are spacious, love the balconies!! the free breakfast is great. last time we went there was construction, but the staff was all helpful!! a great thing i just love, the pool room looks over the ocean! i thought that to be a great plus. a minus?? you have to walk through the parking garage to get to it, but it is worth it every time! and a suggestion, if you miss breakfast, the apple peddler is awsome!
Nice location, otherwise just OK
The Elizabeth St Inn has a beachfront location is close enough to walk to the interesting community of Nye Beach. I am pretty sure all of the rooms look out onto the ocean. Otherwise, it's quite average. The room lacked AC and the ventilation offered by the single sliding door onto the balcony wasn't really adequate in what I understand was a fairly hot time for OR (last summer). Room was spacious but far from luxurious and the bed was below average. You could do worse but it's nothing special.
Wouldn't stay there again
There was a high school on a trip also staying there while we were there. The management did nothing to control the kids. We asked to be placed away from them and the front counter manager told us we were asigned our room # that morning and nothing could be changed. That was a lame excuse. We ended up right next to several rooms of kids and they were running up and down the halls and leaving their doors open. We asked for more pillows and were told that they were all given out to the kids. The temperature controls in the room are difficult to figure out. The rooms were just okay. I have stayed at several places in Newport and this place had the rude and inexperienced help and made us feel as if it was our priveledge to stay there. I will go back to the Hallmark. The rooms are great and the service is unbeatable.
Didn't love the elizabeht inn
I found the motel very mediocre but the worst part was the terrible beds and hard flat pillows. I was so glad to leave. It sounds much more romantic on the web than in person.
Returning to stay there again
The staff was very help full and gave me a better rate when I show them I was there on Business. The only two negitives that I can see is ther is only one elevator so don't be in a hurry there are five floors. Also in there advertisement my impression that they only excepted Kid twelve and older and there were younger kids there running up and down the halls at times. So if you want less of this type of distrubance then it need to be better controlled. Other wise I an going back and staying there for another three days for another business conference. All room have great view of the ocean.
Nice, but a little expensive.
Very nice. Beach access not very good.Go early for continental breakfast...we were late and missed out.
Pretty good place by the sea
Right on the ocean with great views. The beach is fantastic and you can literally walk for miles and miles. It is a fair haul down to the beach (or more correctly a fair haul up from the beach) either by a paved path half a block north or steps half a block south. For many people the gas fireplace is a bonus but I found the pilot light still gives off a fair bit of heat and the room was a bit stuffy unless the balcony door was open. Since you are right on the ocean there is a fair bit of wave noise. Other than this minor quibble, the place was great!
Employee`s were untrained,and rude.
While the room was very nice....... we were very put off by the attitudes of the employee`s. One girl (about 18, dark hair...Gabriel I think her name was) had absolutely no answers to anything we asked her, and spent more time flirting with the guys working on the remodeling of the Hotel than doing her job. Another older lady (reddish hair) was very rude. My wife and I asked her what time the low tide was. Her response was, "How should I know, why don`t you look in the phone book and find out." When we were checking out, we asked to speak to the manager. When she came to the front desk we told her of the problems we had with the staff. She didn`t seem to really care, and her attitude told us very plainly that nothing we said really mattered to her. When paying 119 dollars a night for a room. I expect the staff to at least be polite, and helpfull. While I did very much like the room, and the view. I will be finding another hotel to stay at the next time I am in Newport. And would recommend anyone reading this, to do the same.
Land, sea, fire and air
Our recent stay at the Elizabeth Inn couldn't have been nicer. Being able to have fresh air in the room was a wonderful treat. (Who needs an air conditioner when you have Pacific breezes floating through the window?) The spacious room was clean, the view terrific! Everyone has a view of the Pacific Ocean, the wide beach, the sunrises and sunsets, and the lighthouse in the distance. Who could ask for more? A little chilly? Turn on the gas fireplace for a few minutes to heat up. How great is that? Acutally, if I were to add two critical remarks, I felt the bath room was a bit small and the tub needed some handles for safety, so one doesn't feel unsafe. Other than that, it was a lovely place. I also felt one of the receptionists was a bit curt...but hey, everyone has a lousy day every now and then. Would recommend as the best place to stay on the beach in Newport.

The World Health Organization: The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health
In this participatory powerpoint presentation, Dr. Els Nieuwenhuijsen covers three key topics related to the International Classification of Functioning (ICF), which is the World Health Organization (WHO) framework for measuring health and disability at both individual and population levels.
1.) The background of the ICF: brief history, paradigm shift from the medical model, to the social model, to the bio-psycho-social model, and rationale.
2.) The ICF concepts of health, functioning and disability: the main domains of functioning (body/structure, activities and participation level) and the interaction between these domains with environmental and personal factors. She will briefly cover the ICF codes.
3.) The utility of the ICF, ICF core sets, use of terms recommended by the WHO, and strategic areas.
Nieuwenhuijsen is adjunct faculty in the U-M Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and a volunteer pilot test coordinator of the Unitarian Universalist Association Accessibility and Inclusion Ministry (AIM) Certificate Program at the First Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Ann Arbor.

I miss this. I can't wait. It's a great family show.8 months ago
Just watched half of season 1 in one night and surprised with how much I enjoyed this! I think the fact that it's not just drama based on like one character but a whole "family" and friends makes it that much better because you kind of get a break from the other drama happening to one person and get to see what's going on with others, it just spreads it out which I like. I also love all the characters and I know everyone hates brallie together but I actually enjoy them, even if they piss me off with their questionable choices but then again If I was either of them in their situation I dont think I can say I wouldn't be as stupid or that I'd make better decisions because I probs wouldn't. Love this show but I need a little break from all the drama!! But I'll be back.9 months ago

I don't think its harder to portray a lesbian than any other character. were either playing straight folk, if the characters had boyfriends (which most straight ones do) theyd still be kissing someone other than their spouse when acting. if they played a psycho killer, would it be harder because they arent really psycho killers? no, that's what acting is. and, just because they have husbands, they can't understand or relate to same sex attraction automatically? maybe theyre bi, like anna paquin, angelina jolie or drew barrymore.. its offensive that you think its so challenging. how many actors work does that undermine? i should think its far more difficult to portray a character with special needs or physical challenges like tom hanks or juliette lewis or giovanni ribisi or dustin hoffman, leonardo dicaprio etc etc3 years ago
maybe just maybe, its possible for people to be comfortable and confident enough in their sexual identity that it doesn't change who they are or incite negative feelings about their acting jobs. its just a job, probably just like any other to them. maybe they are even happy to be part of something that inspires inclusion and accepting of modern lifestyle choices, and works to tear down the walls that hatred and fear built so long ago. is that so hard to consider?
broaden your minds, question your thinking. what would the alternative pov think about yours?
I am impressed with the actresses playing Lena and Stef! It must be hard for them portraying a lesbian couple considering the fact that they both have husbands! This show is awesome! It is definitely going to my favorites list...3 years ago

WOW. JUST WOW! Am I the only one loving Wyatt and Callie?!!! I mean that scene was just too adorable and cute, I was smiling throughout the whole scene. I just love those too and how he brings out the playful yet deep side of Callie. I like Brandon but feel he is a little sheltered and has practically had it all...can't relate to him much...and although him and Callie would be adorable, I feel there is MORE chemistry between Wyatt and Callie. Besides, I want to see more of all the kids developing that whole sibling bond between Brandon/Jesus/Mariana which I feel is kinda missing, I mean I would like to see more sibling moments!3 years ago

Many of you are probably in the same boat as me. You lost enough weight that your maternity oants dont fit anymore, but not enough to fit into your pre-pregnancy pants....so you have been wearing sweats and pajama pants day in and day out...lol
Anyway, i had NO intention of spending money on clothing that i didnt plan on keeping or fitting into in a couple months, but i just found pants at Kohls on sale for $9.99. They are in the Juniors section (whihc i havnt shopped at in YEARS), but im sure a certain size should fit anyway. With a 30% off coupon....7 bucks!!! AND they are the cute colored skinny pants i like so much...lol

Definición de neutralism en inglés:
A policy of political neutrality.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- Economic growth was the American way of inoculating them against communism, neutralism, socialism, and other potentially anti-American political orientations.
- His policy of anti-American neutralism, which aimed to keep Cambodia out of the war, led him to permit the Vietnamese Communists to station troops on Cambodian soil.

- Oraciones de ejemplo
- Nonetheless, the political struggle between communists, neutralists, and rightists continued.
- These were paralysed by divisions between followers and opponents of Giolitti, interventionists, and neutralists.
- Ditto with defence, although the huffing and puffing by Irish neutralists will seek to suggest that the proposals mean something menacing, when in fact they mean nothing at all.

Watchung Reservation LbNA # 7794
|Placed Date
|Sep 7 2003
|New Providence, NJ
|Found By
|The Pakrat
|Last Found
|Dec 29 2008
|Hike Distance
Placed September 7, 2003
Total distance: Approx. 6 miles (4 with the bypass)
Total time: About 3 hours for this half of the loop; 5 for all 10 miles
Watchung Reservation is a small oasis in the middle of suburbia, complete with riding stables (beware of horse feathers while hiking) and a wonderful playground. While you will occasionally see the roadway, cars, and houses while hiking, Watchung is a remarkably peaceful site to find within 5 minutes of a major interstate (which, unfortunately, you can often hear).
There is a 10-mile loop trail that circumnavigates the park; this letterbox was placed so that you only need to complete half of the figure eight Sierra Trail. Another letterbox has been placed on the other half of the park for those of you who want a more strenuous hike. The entire 10-mile loop is about 5 hours; this section will take about 3 hours. My paces are a single footfall.
To Get There:
From Route 22: Take Mountainside/New Providence Rd. exit. Proceed uphill (north ) on main road. Turn right on Tracy Drive. At traffic circle take third right and proceed 1/2 mile to Trailside Nature Center.
From Route 287 and 78 East: Rt. 287 to Rt. 78 east to exit 44 (New Providence/Berkeley Heights). ** At T-intersection turn left on Glenside Avenue. After 1.2 miles, turn right into the Watchung Reservation (Route 645) and pass Lake Surprise and then picnic areas as you climb the Watchungs. At traffic circle take first right and proceed 1/2 mile to Trailside Nature Center.
From Route 78 west: Rt. 78 west to exit 43 (New Providence/Berkeley Heights). Turn right at light on McMane Avenue. ** Follow directions from Route 287 and 78 East.
Park at the Trailside Nature Center on New Providence Rd. A trail map can always be obtained within the Nature Center, but the hours are fairly limited; maps are occasionally available at the trail entrances.
Trails start at the rear of the parking lot, opposite the Nature Center and Museum. Enter the Sierra Trail through the wooden archway marked Nature Trail. You will be following the WHITE blazes throughout, although at the beginning the Sierra Loop follows the same route as smaller loop trails and you will see other blazes as well.
You will cross 3 wooden bridges; before the 4th bridge, after the yellow trail intersects with your white, go left to stay with the white blazes and the Sierra Loop. Pay attention: you will have to take a sharp right shortly (and step over a small log) when the white trail branches off from the yellow.
At a little over 1½ miles, the Sierra Loop trail takes a sharp left to follow a section of bridle trail. After ¼ mile, the trail then takes another sharp left, and heads up a hill into a lovely evergreen forest. However, a somewhat less-than-scenic section of the trail follows (lots of broken glass, litter, some mining stuff). For those of you who wish to bypass this (and cut about 2 miles off the trip), continue straight along the bridle path when the Sierra Loop goes left and into the evergreen forest. In about ¼ mile, youll come to a paved and busy road; take a right and youll rejoin the Sierra Loop trail on the right after the bridge.
For a very short time, you will be walking along Sky Top Drive (essentially to use its bridge). The Sierra Loop then cuts across a field to the right, and re-enters the woods. After about ¾ mile, you will come to the end of the narrow trail, and join a larger bridle trail, still following white blazes. The trail takes a bend to the right, then the left, and you'll come to a stand of evergreen trees (with one huge fallen one right across it). Before the evergreens end, keep an eye out for a small fallen tree on the right side of the path with a white blaze on it and a three-trunk tree on the left of the path with a (very) faded yellow cross on it.
Take the small, unmarked trail due north of this spot. Continue 41 paces to a three-trunk tree with a mini-arbor of vines clinging to it. Retrace your steps 4 paces. Go 13 paces at 268° to a five-trunk tree. The letterbox is concealed in the crook of the tree.
Return to the Sierra Loop trail and continue to the Deserted Village and Maskers Barn. The Sierra Loop takes a hard right and re-joins the bridle trail for a brief way. You can opt to continue along the Sierra Loop for the full 10-miles and the other letterbox, or take the following short cut back to the parking area.
When the Sierra Loop leaves the bridle trail to the left, continue straight along the bridle trail. At the T intersection, go right. Very soon after, go left over a small wooden bridge and go left on the blue trail. The blue trail (turns orange) will lead you back to the parking area.

I love this recipe. It's a favourite of mine that I first saw in a TOH cookbook. I've made it many times. It's so easy to make and super delicious too. I actually use russet potatoes most of the time because I have those on hand and they are just as good! Also, I cook them about 10-15 minutes longer because we like ours a bit crispier.
1/4 cup of oil was too much.
Excellent recipe! Say no more!

Situational Leadership
You may recognize your style in the above, or you've realized that while you feel most comfortable with one you tend to use different styles depending on the situation. This contingency-based model arose from a realization that no one style works in all situations. Leadership responds to the needs of the organization in the moment. The most effective leaders adopt their style to the situation, as described by Daniel Goleman in his book Primal Leadership.7
The popular Hersey-Blanchard Situational Leadership Theory assumes leaders fail when they don't match their style of leadership to the maturity of the person or group they are leading. It describes four main leadership styles mapped to maturity levels as listed in Table 3.
Table 3: Hersey-Blanchard Situational Leadership12
M1 - low maturity; lack knowledge, skills, or confidence to work alone
S1 - telling / directing; tell people exactly what to do and how to do it
M2 - medium maturity; limited skills
S2 - selling / coaching; still provide direction but with more communication to "sell" the message and get people on board
M3 - medium maturity with higher skills but limited confidence
S3 - participating / supporting; focus more on relationships and sharing decision-making and less on direction
M4 - high maturity; able to work alone
S4 - delegating; most responsibility passed on to members of the group
If there is no "one size fits all" leadership approach, what common qualities do leaders possess? According to Ken Blanchard, co-creator of the Hersey-Blanchard model and best-selling author, "The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority."8 Whether influencing, persuading, or motivating, leaders have a talent to inspire others.
Leadership style effectiveness depends on forces in the situation, the leader and the follower. A leader must weigh the likelihood of a person accepting direction versus the importance of the decision. In a high-risk setting, an authoritarian style may be the easiest to apply, the most well-accepted, and least confusing for all involved.
Related Content
Strength-Based Leadership
According to Gallup, which surveyed more than one million work teams and interviewed more than 20,000 leaders, the most effective leaders constantly invest in strengths. When leadership focuses on employees' strengths, engagement rises dramatically. Effective leaders surround themselves with the right people and understand their followers' needs (trust, compassion, stability and hope). There is no one strength that all good leaders possess; the most effective leaders are acutely aware of their talents and use them to their best advantage.9
Successful leadership means learning to use your strengths in any situation to inspire, influence and motivate. This self-discovery can build your team's confidence, increasing productivity and satisfaction. Setting a direction for your team and encouraging them to participate in creative solutions is a winning approach to better patient care.

Weather Research : Expert Reports
The division produces 60-70 reports per year. These reports are unique, authoritative expert evaluations. Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review. The experts who volunteer their time participating on study committees are vetted to make sure that the committee has the range of expertise needed to address the task, that they have a balance of perspectives, and to identify and eliminate members with conflicts of interest. All reports undergo a rigorous, independent peer review to assure that the statement of task has been addressed, that conclusions are adequately supported, and that all important issues raised by the reviewers are addressed. Thus, while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy.

Inside 'Monday Night Football'; From the Truck to the Booth, a Look at ABC's No. 2 Program
By RICHARD SANDOMIR
Published: November 17, 1999
Al Michaels is managing his frustration in the back seat of a limousine on the way to Foxboro, Mass. The ''Monday Night Football'' announcer's trip from Boston to the Jets-Patriots game on Monday is 90 minutes old and not over.
''You could have quite a story,'' he says, in his familiar, resonant timbre. ''We went to two-in-the-booth. Tonight, could be one-in-the-booth.''
He scans his notes, then leafs through The Boston Herald, reading headlines aloud -- all about Jets Coach Bill Parcells: '' 'Tuna on the Menu,' 'Tuna Hopes to Save Face.' '' He pauses. ''I had some very nice tuna tartare last night.''
Eventually, he sees a distant nimbus of light. ''The good news is, I see stadium lights,'' he says. ''The bad news is, it's the Yale Bowl.''
Actually, it's shabby Foxboro Stadium, site of the 10th game in ''Monday Night's'' 30th season. Except for ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?'' ''Monday Night'' is currently ABC's highest rated prime-time program, and its most expensive, at $550 million a year.
Inside, the garrulous Boomer Esiason, in his second season beside Michaels in the booth, schmoozes players on the field, then walks briskly up a ramp toward the booth. ''Hey, Boomer, who's the best player in football?'' a security guard asks.
''I was, until I retired,'' he says.
''But now it's Drew Bledsoe, right?'' the guard asks.
''Sure is,'' says Esiason.
There are no apparent jitters for Michaels in his 14th season as the lead voice of the show or for Esiason. Each game affirms Michaels's status as one of the best play-by-play announcers in pro football, but it is a test for Esiason as the solo analyst, no longer the junior partner to Dan Dierdorf, whom ABC discarded last winter in a pay dispute. If Esiason is struggling to be provocative or to reinvent himself with a shtick, he does not admit it. ''The game is what it's all about,'' he says. ''Not what I say.''
The Foxboro booth is cramped, with hot lights, one camera looking in and another looking out, cables spread on the floor like nerve ganglia carrying the game's impulses to America and a black curtain backlighted with ''New York'' in green lights and ''New England'' in light red.
Downstairs, inside ABC's production truck, the director, Craig Janoff, and the producer, Ken Wolfe, transform a jigsaw puzzle of 22 cameras and 18 replay machines into ABC's prime-time broadcast.
There is a desire, articulated by Michaels, to call great games, or at least competitive ones. When he examined this season's schedule, he thought it was the best since he moved into the ''Monday Night'' booth in 1986. But four teams -- Denver, Minnesota, Atlanta and the Jets -- that appeared in their conference championship games last season and were scheduled three times apiece on ''Monday Night'' this season have been disappointments.
Amid Wolfe's quiet pregame preparations, he is slightly distracted by one monitor among dozens before him by ''Millionaire'' -- ''best lead-in we've ever had,'' he says.
For inspiration, a slightly ribald audio tape of Howard Cosell, once the verbal catalyst of ''Monday Night,'' plays in the truck with minutes to go. ''This is absurd,'' Cosell says. ''I just want to get out of here.''
The broadcast starts with typical high energy: exploding graphics, a short skit starring the cast of ABC's ''The Practice'' that tailors one of their signature scenes to the Jets-Patriots matchup, and the theme song by Hank Williams Jr.
The first quarter is scoreless, as Jets quarterback Ray Lucas relies mainly on rushing plays by Curtis Martin. Esiason suggests that Parcells expand to play-action passes. Excitement is limited, except for a melee after a New England interception on a tipped Lucas pass near the end of the quarter.
Janoff leaps from his seat to orchestrate the camera coverage, as Wolfe views the replays and relays the best ones to Janoff.
''We've had worse quarters,'' Michaels says during commercials.
''At least it's 0-0,'' says Esiason.
The game will not provide Esiason with the type of thematic road map he followed a month ago, during the Dallas-Giants game at Giants Stadium. Throughout, he criticized Giants Coach Jim Fassel and Cowboys Coach Chan Gailey for timid play-calling.
But in praising a Jets play, in which receiver Keyshawn Johnson catches a pass on a pattern in which he follows behind Wayne Chrebet, Esiason says: ''Flood the zones and create illusions. That's what Charlie Weis is doing.''
''Reflectively,'' Michaels says, a cryptic reminder that while Weis is the offensive coordinator for the Jets, Parcells calls the plays.
In the Truck,
A Frenetic Pace
In the truck, Janoff cajoles his cameramen into a heightened alertness to on-field developments. But you would have to climb inside his brain to comprehend his spatial vision: monitors carrying feeds from 22 cameras, arranged in mostly illogical order, camera 13 next to 15, camera 17 beside 11, camera 14 abutting 12, camera 8 bordering 1. In this way, Janoff takes apart and reassembles the field, cutting shots over a thousand times in three hours.
Janoff speaks a dialect known only to directors and cameramen. He calls out cameras by their numbers, whether he is following a play or looking for a player on the sideline.

Can Chennai Rhinos Return To Form At CCL 4 (Celebrity Cricket League)?
The stage is set for the clash of titans. The major film industries of India will battle out on cricket grounds starting from tomorrow (Jan 25). Chennai Rhinos will take on Mumbai Heroes in the opening encounter. The cricket lovers and cine fans are thrilled to watch the fourth season of the colourful game. But the supporters of the Tamil Nadu cricket team are wondering whether the team could return to its good form to lift the trophy again.
Click Here To See CCL 4 Schedule
Chennai Rhinos had given brilliant performances in the first and the second seasons of Celebrity Cricket League. The team ably led by Vishal Krishna had won the inaugural and the following seasons. The aura that the team set in the first two seasons had brought them the tag - invincibles. But what the fans saw in the third season was shocking as the team was eliminated in the group stage itself. The most disappointing factor was to see the dispirited performances of the team.
Many have blamed the Chennai Rhinos for taking things easy. But the team had defended by saying that it was due to lack of practise as the members of the team kept themselves busy with their film commitments. Continue reading the story on the slideshow...

Published: April 2, 1995
(Page 5 of 6)
And as manhood turns into an ever mushier concept, a sport like women's college basketball becomes all the more appealing; its reliance on finesse and teamwork reminds us of the possibility of collective play, as opposed to the male game's dunk-and-howl. But what happens when all the women now coming into the arena begin to exhibit the same killer instincts that we thought were exclusive to men? With more and more male coaches taking over women's teams, aren't the athletes being turned over to a new generation of Bob Knights and Pat Rileys? Is this what everybody meant by equal rights?
Women are already beginning to show the strain: anorexic gymnasts, 15-year-olds burned out by tennis daddies and swimmers who are sexually exploited by male coaches. If and when women's basketball goes over the top, imagine the toll.
A new American class has emerged, beyond gender, social standing or race. Call it a gladiatorial class. Families, schools, towns wave 12-year-olds through the toll booths of life. Potential sports stars -- who might bring fame and money to everyone around them -- are excused from taking out the trash, from learning to read, from having to ask, "May I touch you there?" No wonder so many of them grow into the confused, sometimes self-destructive "role models" whose sexual-abuse trials and drug busts have become the new cliches of the sports page. We are amused but not moved by the outrageous posturing of Charles Barkley of the Phoenix Suns; we sense he is trying to differentiate himself from the affable Jordan only so he can capture his own multimillion-dollar market niche. We are mildly interested but not surprised at the seven drug-related suspensions of Steve Howe, the Yankees' relief pitcher; we are also sophisticated enough to question the club's motivation for mercy -- is it an enlightened attitude toward addiction or simply the need for a quick fix in the bullpen?
The wonder is that there haven't been more incidents, that a designated hitter hasn't yet led the heart of the order into the stands to clean out a nest of hecklers or that a Final Four team hasn't refused to take the court until CBS came up with $50,000 for each man's mother.
The truth is that most athletes are still conservative and obedient to authority, yet trapped by their upbringing in a state of perpetual adolescence. Most tend to be pleasant enough if you aren't shrieking for an autograph or a quote. They are probably more competent than athletes of the past and no more unidimensional than, say, the average ballet dancer or rocket scientist.
But while we may still envy them, even celebrate them, we stopped liking them. And this began well before the extended rain delay in baseball this year. By the end of the 1987 football strike, when the players began barreling through their own picket lines, it dawned on America that these heroic brothers didn't have the stand-up solidarity of meatpackers and miners and hospital workers, male or female. These prancing, steroid-bloated, coke-snorting headbangers turned out to be Bickerdashes -- or sissies, if the word could be narrowed to Namath's meaning of a coward, someone who cuts and runs. For all the sportswriters' stories about modern athletes' "courage" after surgery (that's usually an arthroscopic knee procedure, not cancer) or "rising from dire poverty" (on a free ride to a major university), these guys suddenly appeared to be something short of men.
Certainly not Greg Louganis, a homosexual ("toughest sissy on the planet," quips Eric Marcus, the co-writer of Louganis's best-selling autobiography) whose 10th dive in the 1988 Seoul Olympics' springboard preliminaries was the nerviest act I ever covered in sports. On the previous dive, he had banged his head against the board; the wound needed several quick stitches, no time for anesthetic. A few minutes later, he came back to nail the dive, perhaps the best of the Games. It was a textbook example of traditional manly heroism. The recent debate over whether Louganis should have told Olympic officials that he was H.I.V.-positive at the time has obscured the pure courage of his act, to say nothing of the fact that he went on to win two gold medals in those Games.
The real sissy is O. J. Simpson. A jury will decide whether it thinks he killed his ex-wife and her friend, but we already know he slapped her around. O. J. beat his wife. That's a sissy thing to do, especially if you are bigger than she is. If you were also one of the greatest running backs in football history, powerful and elusive plus handsome and charming, such behavior calls into question not only your character but the character of those who determinedly avoided dealing with the truth. O. J. became an all-star Babe for his ability to make the dominant culture comfortable; funny and self-deprecating, he could make the soft white men who clustered around him in bars and television studios -- call them syco-fans -- actually feel studly. They loved to wink at his "roguish" ways with women, the I-can-handle-it quality of his substance abuse and the sheer arrogance of his style. SportsWorld gave the big dog permission to act this way, and he became a shining inspiration to all the little dogs.

A Wanette man who was arrested after deputies found 61 pot plants along with processed marijuana in his home has been formally charged with numerous felony counts.
Floyd Wren, 49, was charged in Pottawatomie County District Court Monday with cultivation of controlled substance, possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute as well as possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
Wren was arrested before the holidays after sheriff's deputies discovered an indoor growing operation in his rural home.
Sheriff Mike Booth said during the course of an investigation, deputies, along with members of the district attorney's task force, found the weed that was reported to have an estimated street value of $600,000.
Along with seizing the 61 indoor pot plants, Booth said "a substantial amount of processed marijuana and drug paraphernalia" also was found at the scene.
Wren was booked into the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center following his arrest but has been released after posting bond.
His next court date hasn't yet been scheduled.
Samples of the pot plants and weed were collected for evidence in the case, Booth said, and the rest was destroyed by fire.
Watch for updates.

City have profited from four in their previous three home games, including a debatable one against Everton last weekend that allowed them to preserve a near two-year unbeaten record in the Premier League on home soil.
It is part of an overall tally of 21 City have been awarded since the beginning of the 2010-11 season, prompting Ferguson's jibe.
"The number of penalty kicks they get, 21 in the last year or something like that," said Ferguson. "If we got that number of penalty kicks there'd be an inquiry in the House of Commons. There'd be a protest."
It had evidently escaped Ferguson's attention that United have been awarded just as many in exactly the same period of time, presumably because his side have missed a greater percentage, four this term alone.
Nevertheless, Ferguson's comment underlines the irritation that exists between the two Manchester clubs, whom the United boss is convinced will battle it out for the Premier League title, as they did last season. Ferguson said: "It will be close again between the two sides.
"We have that gap over Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham and it will be difficult to think the two of us will collapse. I think it will be between the two of us."
It merely heightens a rivalry that has always existed, but not in its present form since the late 1960s when the pair were last scrapping it out for major honours.
"Liverpool and United games over the last 25 years have been unbelievable," he said. "They've always been the most important games. But it's shifted because Liverpool aren't challenging for the league like City are. City are our biggest threat and we're their biggest threat.
"Their fortunes changed when Sheikh Mansour took over. We knew the minute that happened it was going to be a different ball game altogether. But we have to accept their challenge like we did when Chelsea came along and when Arsenal overtook Liverpool in the early 90s."

Art at The Newbridge on Usk
We are thrilled to be showcasing pieces of work by two celebrated Welsh artists, Christopher Langley and Chris Davies.
Pieces from these collections are available to purchase at Newbridge on Usk
The images seek to capture the transition from the age of coal to modern Cardiff Bay, to collage and express what lies at the heart of Wales as Nation. Today Cardiff Bay stands as monument to industry, a city and country with coal in her veins, restructured, redesigned and recapturing the glory of 'Black Gold'.
Black to Gold was produced by Chris Davies, a Welsh photographer, based in Wales, whose work often uses fine art photography as a medium to produce composite images that tell a story, provide an experience in time, or a puzzle to be solved regarding place and mystery.
For further information contact email@example.com
Langley was born in the Welsh market town of Pontypridd in 1962. After successful experimentation and an evolution lasting many years, the core of his work pushes the boundaries between formalism and logic, making abstract painting look enviably effortless.
Some of his canvases reflect a unique approach, conceiving painting as something intrinsically abstract with a sense of texture that resolves from an intimately hands-on conception of styles. Some of his paintings are not formally apologetic bending the knees to an illusion of the past, while others, such as 'Huts in Yellow and Black' and 'Embankment' portray familiar scenes presented in unusual aspects and colours.

"As an avid runner, I had my second round of plantar fasciitis. The first round was several years ago during marathon training. This fall it came on after completing a Ragnar relay and half marathon very close to each other. Too much I suppose. Anyway, most people I know who have suffered from plantar fasciitis, were out of commission for months. However, for me, it comes on as quickly as it goes because of these inserts (combined with other doctor's orders)! Twice, these inserts have blown me away with how well they work and the quality of them! I am already preparing for my first run back only after being off for 3.5 weeks! Great product! DON'T waste your money on gel or foam inserts - it's a waste! I highly recommend these NB to anyone and everyone, especially to runners and to those who suffer from plantar fasciitis!"

Any thoughts and help would be greatly appreciated.

I had literally 15 minutes to look, so here's what I got
– the logo isn't clickable. Usually logos are a passageway back to the homepage.
– what's going on the Audio page? given that it's a radio station, and you can "listen now" in the listen now area, i don't know what else will be offered under audio, but that was the first button I clicked cuz I wanted to know.
– the DJ portal idea rocks. can't wait to see that
– the archive and playlist is totally awesome. I'm so impressed with that. Not impressed with my typing tho. 🙂
go team go! thanks for all the work!
Looks good, guys and girl! It's so much simpler and more streamlined than the old site that I felt weird about it for a while. Then I realized that everything I needed was pretty much there. So, I guess it's just taking me a little while to get out of the "ridiculous website" mentality.
A few things I noticed when poking around this morning:
1.) If you go to the schedule, and click on a show, all of their old archives appear to be available for downloading. Deception! If you click anything older than two weeks, you are denied by the resulting page. Maybe we could just have those links not be there at all?
2.) On the "about" page the sentence, "The coverage map below shows our broadcast range on our FM frequency" appears. More deception! It's not there. Chump change.
3.) I love the pop-out player for the stream, but is there any way to get an iTunes stream for people that prefer that? Or did I just miss it?
4.) On the old schedule, there was a coloring system to indicate where we were in the week. I guess it was kind of dumb, because you should just look at the time and find it on the schedule, but the visual made it nice and simple. Could we have a system like that? Maybe just highlight the current show. Or do an iCal-like system where the column of the current day is highlighted, and a horizontal line tracks the current time.
Feel free to respond to my comments and questions. I'll be sure to check back.
Great job!!
