UNIVERSITY?PARK - Penn State's current message to prospective recruits sounds a bit unusual: Keep your options open until the school finally settles on a replacement for ousted Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno.
It could hurt the quality of Penn State's next recruiting class. But interim coach Tom Bradley wants to maintain transparency with potential Nittany Lions following child sex-abuse charges against a former assistant coach that left the program in turmoil.
"We've been honest and open with them. We've been transparent about everything. I think they're waiting now to see what happens with the head coach," Bradley said. "We've told a lot of these guys that they have to go visit other places and keep their options open until they see what happens here."
They've been waiting for a while, at least when it comes to coaching search timelines.
On the other hand, few searches have ever occurred under such extraordinary circumstances.
School trustees fired Paterno on Nov. 9, four days after authorities filed the first set of charges against Jerry Sandusky. The assistant, who retired in 1999, is awaiting a jury trial after pleading not guilty to allegations that span from 1994 to 2009.
Besides the ongoing criminal investigation, the NCAA and the Big Ten - among other organizations - have announced they are looking into the scandal.
Paterno isn't a target of the criminal investigation, but was dismissed anyway amid mounting pressure that school leaders should have done more to stop alleged abuse.
Paterno, who turns 85 today, was released from the hospital Sunday following a weeklong stay to make it easier for doctors to tend to his fractured pelvis while also treating him for lung cancer.
"Saw boatloads of birthday cards for Joe at the house & realized I'd better get him one before tomorrow," son Jay Paterno, the quarterbacks coach, posted Tuesday on Twitter.
A six-person search committee headed by acting athletic director David Joyner was named Nov. 28. School president Rodney Erickson has said he hoped to have Paterno's replacement in place before No. 24 Penn State plays No. 20 Houston in the TicketCity Bowl on Jan. 2 in Dallas.
Speculation has swirled for weeks on potential candidates. Bradley has confirmed he wants to remove the "interim" tag from his title after saying at the team's bowl media day Monday that he interviewed on Friday.
A person familiar with the search process said Tuesday that defensive line coach Larry Johnson has also interviewed.
The Patriot-News of Harrisburg reported Friday about Johnson's interview. The person confirming the report to The Associated Press requested anonymity because no one was authorized to speak about the search.
Joyner hasn't spoken publicly, but has said in an interview conducted by Penn State athletics posted on the department's website last week that the school was being "very methodical and precise" about the search.
"We may be conducting our search a little different than other people," Joyner said.
Still, it's a precarious time for a search given its less than two months from the date when high school seniors can formally announce their intentions to play college ball.
And Penn State already had its own challenge even before the scandal given longstanding rumors of Paterno's impending retirement. Paterno stressed to prospects to consider the campus as a whole, including the program's academic success, a message his assistants continue to use now.
Bradley said the coaching uncertainty has affected the team's recruiting "a little bit," especially now since the recruiting calendar has flipped over into a period of limited contact. But Bradley did share part of his pitch to recruits when he did speak to them.
"This place is not going to change," Bradley said Monday. "We have great facilities, great support and great academics. We have a lot of great things going for us that have nothing to do with the head coach."
Some critics have said Penn State's next coach shouldn't have any ties with the program, though Erickson has maintained the search is "wide open."
Among those with NFL connections, former Steelers coach Bill Cowher and ex-Colts coach Tony Dungy have both said they have no interest in leaving their current positions as TV analysts.
Nebraska's Bo Pelini was the latest name to emerge on the seemingly endless rumored list of potential college-level prospects.
"First of all, the irresponsible reports that are going on out there aren't true. I haven't interviewed for Penn State. I'm not saying any more on that," Pelini said after practice Tuesday in Lincoln.
Asked if he wanted to affirm his commitment to the Cornhuskers given recent rumors, Pelini said, "I'm not addressing every single situation. I mean, I don't do it. I shouldn't have to do it."
Players are just as anxious as fans to find out who might be the next coach. The team is scheduled to practice through Wednesday before taking a break for the Christmas holiday. They are slated to regroup Dec. 26 in Dallas to begin bowl prep.
As of Monday, about 3,000 of the school's reported allotment of 6,500 tickets had been sold as of Monday, according to associate athletic director Greg Myford. He said it was difficult to characterize sales as slow given the school had no previous comparisons - the TicketCity Bowl is a new destination for Penn State.
Praising the bowl officials and Dallas, Myford said that "While total advance sales numbers are short of what we might normally see for a Penn State bowl, we need to be honest and acknowledge that this is anything but a normal year."
Bowl executive director Tom Starr said Tuesday they hoped to draw 45,000 fans to the 92,000-seat Cotton Bowl, where the game is played. He was optimistic that Penn State could draw from a roughly 9,000-member alumni and fan club based in Texas, and that the game could attract many of the 8,000 Houston alumni in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Don't Weep for Groupon Ex-CEO Andrew Mason
Groupon Ousts CEO Andrew Mason
Andrew Mason isn't leaving Groupon empty handed.
Groupon's board gave the 32-year-old chief executive the heave-ho on Thursday, after Mason presided over the controversial and one of the fastest-growing young companies in recent memory. Time will tell whether Mason will be remembered for his antics and for being loosey-goosey with accounting rules, or for building a new marketing category with a company he steered to $5 billion in annual billings and an IPO faster than most companies on the planet.
One thing is crystal clear already: Mason has a tidy nest egg — roughly $260 million — to spend on whatever tropical island he may hit to nurse his wounds, or to splurge on the fat camp he referenced in a letter to employees.
Mason owns a 7.1% stake of Groupon's combined Class A and Class B shares, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and his stock is worth $228 million at today's prices. (Irony alert: Getting fired made Mason richer; his defenestration is perking up Groupon's stock price Friday by 7%.)
Mason's net worth also was padded by pre-IPO stock transactions that raised eyebrows
when they came to light before Groupon's November 2011 initial public stock offering. All told, Mason and his fellow Groupon co-founders, Eric Lefkofsky and Bradley Keywell, took nearly $600 million out of Groupon while it was still private, in the form of dividend payments and stock sales fueled by frenetic demand for Groupon shares before the company went public. Mason's slug of the pre-IPO riches was more than $31 million, according to Groupon's IPO disclosures.
Mason didn't return requests for comment. A spokesman for Lefkofsky and Keywell said the pair haven't sold Groupon shares after the IPO.
A Groupon spokesman didn't immediately reply to a request for comment.
The dark cloud in Mason's silver lining? He was a billionaire on Groupon's first day as a public company. His shares in Groupon were valued at nearly $1.5 billion at Groupon's high-water mark on day one. The stock price has cratered 85% since that point.
UPDATE: Groupon declined to comment.

Wednesday, November 20, 2013
Four state legislators addressed a crowd of around 100 people Friday at the Legislative Luncheon, hosted by the Greater Summerville/Dorchester County Chamber of Commerce.
The speakers – State Sen. Sean Bennett and Reps. Chris Murphy, Jenny Horne and Joe Daning – all represent the immediate area.
Each gave a progress report to the group, speaking of his or her projects in the General Assembly and what they estimate the public can expect from their respective branches of the legislature in the coming year. The politicians also answered questions from attendees.
Sen. Bennett addressed ethics reform and the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. He said both issues are on "special order," meaning they will be discussed first when the legislature convenes its second session on Jan. 14.
In the House of Representatives, Rep. Horne said her main focus has been on children and education. She has been working on creating an education funding bill that would create "uniform millage" so children across the state will receive equal amounts of funding.
Rep. Horne has also requested an audit of the Department of Social Services, which she hopes will bring light to problems in the department.
"There are other states that are taking care of their children more than we are," she said. "As a mother I feel like it's my duty to the children I represent that we need to pay close attention to how our most vulnerable children are being treated."
Education was also a focus for Rep. Daning, who spoke of his plan to survey teachers about the national education program Common Core.
A member of the Transportation Committee, he also addressed texting and driving.
Rep. Murphy mostly spoke of the continual need for improved infrastructure, which he called a "moving target." He also addressed the budget.
"I hate to say it, but I think we're going to pass the budget and that's it this year, with it being an election year," he said.
The legislators answered more than half a dozen questions from the audience, which touched on topics such as college tuition caps, online safety and the recent Local Option Sales Tax for property tax relief referendum that did not pass in Dorchester County.

There�s nothing like cheap red wine to give a fellow courage.
That�s the idea behind Gaetano Donizetti�s popular comic opera �L� Elisir d�Amore.� Composed at a time when traveling salesmen peddled love potions, the elixir of the title may be fake, but it works.
The first production in the 2012-13 MET: Live in HD season premieres Saturday at its new Durango location: Fort Lewis College. After long and skillful negotiations, Charles Leslie, director of the FLC Community Concert Hall, pulled out a little magic himself.
Opera broadcasts are ubiquitous in movie theaters across the country. But now Leslie invites you to the comfortable Vallecito Room in the Student Union � and there�s plenty of free parking.
The plot of �Elisir� hinges on the lovesick peasant Nemorino (tenor Matthew Polenzani). Because he�s fallen for Adina (soprano Anna Netrebko), a wealthy, out-of-reach landowner, Nemorino squanders all his money on a phony love potion,
Act I: Under a shade tree, the gorgeous, aristocratic Adina benevolently reads aloud to her poor peasants � on their lunch break.
She appears to be indifferent to Nemorino�s longing looks, especially when a blustery military man arrives.
Sergeant Belcore (baritone Mariusz Kwiecien) flirts with her and soon proposes. �I�ll think about it,� Adina casually responds. Poor Nemorino swoons, and the sergeant appears to have the upper hand.
Meanwhile, in the village, another con-man works his trade. Dr. Dulcamara (bass Ambrogio Maestri) sells a bit of everything including magic love potions. The not-too-bright Nemorino spends all his money on what turns out to be cheap red Bordeaux. Soon drunk, he behaves badly and Belcore urges a hasty wedding on Adina before he and his troops leave.
As Act II opens, nuptial arrangements are in full swing. To buy a second love potion, Nemorino signs up for military service and a cash bonus. Unbeknownst to him, his uncle died, apparently during intermission, leaving Nemorino with a fortune. Did I mention this was a male fantasy?
With Nemorino�s good news, Adina changes her mind about the strutting sergeant and buys up Nemorino�s military contract. When he sees a tear of recognition in her eyes, he sings the famous aria Una furtiva lagrima, �a furtive tear.�
Now social equals, the two will marry. And Sergeant Belcore? Jovial as always, he�s confident there are other women in the world waiting for him.
One more thing: After all that nonsense, Donizetti concludes with a touch of irony. As villagers buy out Dr. Dulcamara�s stock of fake elixir, he gets the last aria. A salesman�s fantasy?

Indiana was starting to settle in again at No. 1 after weeks of shuffling at the top of the national rankings in this wildly unpredictable season of college basketball. Austin Hollins and the Gophers stepped forward, flexed their muscles and did their best to push the Hoosiers out. Minnesota took down top-ranked Indiana 77-73 on Tuesday night, the seventh time the No. 1 team in The Associated Press� poll has lost a game this season. Speaking of wildly unpredictable, three of the four ranked teams in action Tuesday lost.

What has been most striking as this lockout lurches into its sixth week now is how precious little true negotiating has been done. The two sides have worked on ancillary (i.e., non-core economic) issues but as for sitting down, shirtsleeves rolled up, let's-really-get-down-to-brass-tacks-on-how-the-money-will-be-split-up-to-which-of-the-NHL's-needy-teams, not so much.
The NHL, for instance, waited all of about 10 minutes before dismissing the players' proposals Thursday even though, according to the union, at least a couple of those proposals examined a manner in which they could get to the 50-50 split in revenues that seems to be the magic equation to getting a deal done.
Far too much time has been spent pontificating for the cameras, spinning and bad-mouthing and complaining and quiet sulking, and far too little time getting to work.
And the time for that has come to stop.
The best line in the story though is this....
A shortened 2012-13 season should be emblazoned with a scarlet letter "M" for "Morons."

4 Sequels Hollywood Should Have Made by Now
#2. Independence Day
In Independence Day, an army of evil but technologically superior aliens travel to Earth bent on world domination. They spend the first two-thirds of the movie wreaking absolute havoc on our planet until they are defeated by the ragtag team of Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Magilla Gorilla and one of the "Bill" actors whose last name starts with a P, whichever one wasn't in Aliens.
Left to right: Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, An Actual Trained Ape, Bill ... Patton?
By giving the aliens a sophisticated computer virus, and subsequently shooting them with much less-sophisticated bullets, the humans bring down the alien space bases all over the world.
"It truly was an independence day," one of the characters probably never remarked at one point.
The Imaginary Sequel:
Independence Day 2 should have taken place immediately after the events of Independence Day, and it should have been a cross between Independence Day and The Patriot.
A few years ago, Jacopo della Quercia wisely pointed out that, just because the alien ships crashed to earth doesn't mean all of the aliens contained therein are dead. In fact, there's plenty of evidence in the movie to suggest that the aliens are perfectly capable of withstanding these kinds of crash landings.
"Hi! Hiiiiii!"
So, what happens when ships that are 15 miles wide crash land in major cities all over the world and thousands and thousands of tentacle-waving, armor-wearing, telepathic and pissed off aliens spill out into town? Man versus alien in hand-to-hand combat is what happens.
It's just like in the Revolutionary War film, The Patriot. The invading aliens, with their technological superiority and telepathic mutant powers are just like the British, and the humans, with their heart, determination and home-field advantage, are just like the Mel Gibson-fronted militia.
British people can control minds, right? That wasn't just a nightmare I had, right?
Independence Day 2 (or Windependence Day, or Indeependence Day, if I decide to set the sequel mostly under water), would be two hours of furious aliens, desperate for a victory now that they've lost their trips home, versus a bunch of strong-willed, strong-smithed humans in a man-on-alien battle for world dominance. I can't be the only person in America who wants to watch Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith hiding in the jungle, setting traps for the invading aliens, like the wacky and deadly game of cat-and-mouse that Home Aloneshould have been. I just can't be.
#1. The Dark Knight
This is where I'd summarize the plot of The Dark Knight for anyone who hasn't seen it, but if you're reading Cracked, there's no reason for us to bullshit each other: You've seen The Dark Knight, and if you haven't, you're not the kind of person I'm writing for, nor will you ever be.
It's just as well. My plot summary would have just been a bunch of pictures of awesome explosions mixed with the phonetic representation of the odd humming sound my erection makes whenever it knows someone is watching Dark Knight within a five-mile radius. I went to a doctor with this condition and he described it as "not harmful" or "scientifically possible," but "ultimately really badass, from a strictly non-medical perspective." (Because of its sonic nature, we're calling it an "earection" for now.)
"I'd prescribe some pills to make this sensation stop, but I get the feeling you don't want it to."
The Imaginary Sequel:
Just to be clear, I know The Dark Knight has a sequel in The Dark Knight Rises, and I know that it will absolutely be better than whatever I come up with. But I also know that mine will be totally different, and that I sure would like to see it.
In Nolan's Batman trilogy, so far we've seen Bruce Wayne become Batman, and we've seen him question and then ultimately embrace this decision. Since he can't be Batman forever, the logical third step in the franchise is the end of Batman, which, as my coworker Cody suggests, means Bruce Wayne has to die. I don't think Wayne needs to die, but I do believe that he has to stop being Batman. We've already seen him struggle and support his decision to become the Dark Knight; to see him support that choice again in a third Batman movie would just be redundant, and a surprising misstep in a franchise that's clearly been building to something.
Here's where I'm going to lose some readers: the boldest and most interesting thing that Christopher Nolan can do is prove that Bruce Wayne becoming Batman was the wrong choice. Because really, it is. Objectively. Batman helps clean up the street, but his vigilante-copycat-inspiring antics are ultimately dangerous for Gotham (a point raised in The Dark Knight), and his ridiculous, over-the-top style will only encourage more ridiculous and over-the-top villains (a point raised in After Hours). For Nolan's trilogy to reach its logical conclusion, Batman needs to, as Harvey Dent put it, "Live long enough to see [himself] become a villain."
He needs to become an ultimate villain, too, not just a power-hungry jerk that operates in a moral grey area. Rachel Dawes, the love of Wayne's life, died as a result of his reckless shenanibatmanigans, and that didn't stop Wayne from fighting the good bat-fight, so it's going to take quite a lot to get him to retire. Bruce Wayne needs to see himself as a monster, a monster that's so horrible he would have to hang up his mask and quit Batmanning forever. Since this is Bruce Wayne we're talking about, the most monstrous thing he could see himself doing would be to kill his own parents. Which, obviously, he can't do.
Or can he?
Alfred cares more about Batman than anyone in the world (excluding me, obviously). He took care of Bruce as a boy. He raised Bruce. He covers for Bruce whenever he decides to go Batmanning all over town, he stitches Wayne up when said Batmanning doesn't go as well as Batplanned. He lies, helps defraud Wayne Enterprises and breaks several laws, all for Bruce Wayne. He's like a father to Bruce. And if you think that Alfred wouldn't kill to protect Bruce's secret identity, then you're vastly underestimating the strength of a father-son bond.
That's the Batman movie I'd make. The film opens on a series of murders, and all of the victims are people who, through research and analysis, are clearly on the verge of discovering Batman's identity. The police are hunting Batman, because clues support the idea that Batman would be the one to murder to protect his own identity, and Batman meanwhile is doing his best detective work to find the real killer, to clear his name and to, you know, stop all of that killing. But he can't catch the real killer, who always seems to be one step ahead of Batman. It's almost like the killer knows everything before Batman knows it; he's a better detective and knows exactly how to fly under Batman's radar. Only someone with intimate knowledge of Batman could be that good at avoiding capture. And obviously they'd probably have some kind of police or military background.
"Me again!"
Alfred. Because Alfred, decades ago, swore to Thomas Wayne that he would protect Bruce with his life, it's clear that he would do anything to preserve Wayne's secret identity, even if it meant killing a bunch of people who could potentially reveal everything. It wouldn't be an easy choice, but Alfred knew that being Batman's associate was never going to be easy. It means being the Alfred that Batman needs, not the Alfred that Batman deserves.
Batman, being Batman, would eventually catch and be forced to stop Alfred, by any means necessary (death or jail, which would also basically be death). Essentially, Batman would be killing his own father figure, thereby watching his father die twice. It would be heartbreaking and horrible and difficult, but it would also be the only thing that could teach Bruce that being Batman does come with a cost, a cost that even he can't withstand. Nolan's Batman universe is a realistic one, and in reality, no one should be Batman, because it's wrong. Legally, morally and ethically.
The first two Batman movies set this up so perfectly, I would almost be depressed if Nolan didn't end up making this movie. I say "almost" because, again, Nolan will make a different movie and it'll be way, WAY better. Certainly less depressing, anyway.

With an experienced roster featuring three seniors and three juniors, the Stetson women's tennis team is set to open the 2013 campaign on Saturday, Feb. 2 against Flagler College. Last year, the Hatters fell to eventual Atlantic Sun Conference Champion North Florida in the semifinals.
Seniors Sara Lazarevic (Calgary, Alta.), Jen Miller (Tampa, Fla.), and Clarke Tatje (Eustis, Fla.) will be looked at to lead the team this spring. The trio of seniors won a combined 29 singles matches last season.
The three juniors on the roster are Diana Bukajeva (Riga, Latvia), Lindsey Cable (Gainesville, Fla.), and MayaBlue Stauffer-MacDowell (Asheville, N.C.). They were equally instrumental to the team's success last season, contributing a combined 34 singles wins in 2012.
"The experiences that our upperclassmen have gained over the years, for example our semifinal comeback against conference winner UNF in last year's A-Sun Tournament, will be an important part of our successes this year," Stetson Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote said.
The Hatters have five underclassmen on the team; one sophomore and four freshmen. Rachel Luke (Virginia Beach, Va.) is the only sophomore on the team, but she did not compete last season. The freshmen on the team are Andrea Crespo (Valencia, Spain), Anja Erwin (Longwood, Fla.), Eveline Lepinay (Quebec City, Quebec), and Alexandra Lyubimova (Miami, Fla.).
"The freshmen have done a great job in acclimating themselves to the team culture here at Stetson," Assistant Coach Christophe Noblet said. "We are looking forward to having them impact the team in a positive way this season."
After the opener against Flagler, the Hatters host five home matches before heading on their first road trip. They will host Charleston Southern (Feb. 9), Iowa State (Feb. 15), and Florida A&M (Feb. 23), before taking on four-time Southern Conference champion #63 College of Charleston on March 2. The Hatters finish their home-stand on March 4 against Pennsylvania.
Stetson will then hit the road for the first time, taking a trip to California where the team will take on Cal State Fullerton on March 7, and Cal State Northridge on March 8. The Hatters will return to the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center for four games, two of which will be their first conference contests. A-Sun matches against Northern Kentucky (March 14) and Lipscomb (March 16) are sandwiched between tilts against Cleveland State (March 12) and #72 Harvard (March 19).
"The team has an excellent non-conference schedule, including two home matches vs. nationally ranked teams, a first in the history of the women's program," Pilote said.
The Hatters will travel to Georgia for two matches against conference foes Kennesaw State and Mercer, on March 22 and 23, respectively. The Hatters will then return to DeLand for two matches against ETSU (March 28) and USC Upstate (March 30).
Stetson's final three matches of the regular season will take place in the state of Florida; at defending A-Sun Champion North Florida on April 6, as well as at home against UCF on Apr. 10 and Florida Gulf Coast on Apr. 13.
"The women's programs in the conference continue to get stronger each year, so this season will be extremely competitive," Pilote concluded.
The Atlantic Sun Conference championship will take place on April 19-21 in Johnson City, Tennessee.

I am on a long and lonesome highway west of Saginaw, Mich., when a voice comes wafting through the speakers: "On a long and lonesome highway/ East of Omaha." The voice is raspy and deep. It's punctuated by the same goddamned saxophone hook—over and over and over. The music, paired with the bumpy highway, makes my stomach ache. I cover my ears and plead for it to stop. I want to jump out of the speeding car. I am 12 years old.
I hate Bob Seger. His voice is like the brown note to me. His songs are embedded like burs in my psyche. "Turn the Page" is the tip of the iceberg. His scratchy squeal on "Night Moves" haunts my nightmares. The ever-repeating guitar hook on "Mainstreet" is never gone from my head. Every time some asshole puts "Old Time Rock and Roll" on a jukebox, my immediate impulse is to punch him.
In Michigan, Bob Seger isn't just some classic rocker with a bunch of hits. Even to say he's a god doesn't cut it. If the Dalai Lama, Moses, Patrick Swayze, Jesus and Gandhi combined genes and started hammering out cheesy classic rock, that divine hybrid would rank two tiers below Seger. In the snowmobile track-laden forests of the Upper Peninsula, the wind whispers "Beautiful Loser." On the decimated streets of Detroit and Flint, "Like a Rock" serves as a rallying cry. Seger is the region's Boss. And if you don't agree, you're asking for trouble.
So you learn to deal with it—you keep your mouth shut, causing this strange sickness that makes your guts burn. The back of that minivan was my own personal Ludovico treatment: The same horrid sounds now cause stomach pains and helplessness every time I ask some middle-aged barfly to please turn off the Seger.
And lo, here Bob goes—on the roooooooooad again, hitting Portland and probably drawing every Michigan transplant (except one) to the Rose Garden. Classic-rock stations are already saturating the airwaves with his hits. And, once again, I'm trapped in the back of that van, just waiting for it all to stop. Escape is a mere fantasy.
SEE IT: Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band play the Rose Garden Arena, 1 N Center Court, with Joe Walsh, on Saturday, March 30. 8 pm. $45-$97. All ages.

Many of those made aware of Geraldine Ferraro's undiplomatic remarks will have to admit to themselves that she has a good point. And the point has been made, further, by the reaction of the Obama campaign, which as she has noted, has angrily, and falsely, and with transparent malice, described her remarks as "racism." The promiscuous use of that word, that charge, in American public life, is getting tiresome. And Ferraro is having none of it.
The proposition that were Obama not black, he would not at this point in his career have run for President, and would certainly not, given the slenderness of his experience, be the most likely candidate of the Democratic Party, cannot be disputed. It can go unmentioned -- until Ferraro dared to mention it -- but it cannot be disputed. Could Obama, were he a white candidate, with precisely the same experience, that is with scarcely more than two years of national office, and prior to that only office as a state representative, even dare to consider running for President? And would he, were he not black, be supported, as he was the other day in Mississippi, by 85-90% of black voters, who are clearly voting out of racial solidarity? And would he be supported by quite so many white voters, who have described their desire to "get beyond race" and "Obama promises hope" and a "post-racial" (whatever that is) world, and so they are not voting for the energy policy, the war policy, the education policy, the environmental policy, the trade policy, of Barack Obama, based on his own previous history as a legislator, or on his presentation of policies in sufficient detail to be examined, but rather on the basis of his being an articulate presenter of "hope," and a supposed "agent of change," though what exactly those "changes" would be, and how he, who has never yet guided any major substantive legislation through the Senate, would manage as President to convince others to join him in those "changes," is not entirely clear. Such voters are, with their votes, merely validating themselves (and isn't that what the vote right now should do -- make you feel good about yourself?), and validating the country too -- I was unaware until recently that the United States needed such validation.
Now our benighted country can at long last "get beyond" its "racist past" in the most effective way possible, by whites voting in droves, in a kind of Big Gather, for the black candidate. Barack Obama, who has been in the Senate for a little more than two years, has no legislation to his credit, has even by the admiring New York Times been described as a glamorous candidate who left the drudgery of Senate work to others while he early on planned for a Presidential run, and whose chief encouragers, such as Tom Daschle, told him he should run precisely now, before he had done much of anything in the Senate -- there are quotes to that effect in the article on Obama's Senate career that appeared in last week's Sunday New York Times (March 9) -- because, as he was advised, when you do things you inevitably make enemies, and so best to run before you do those things, and make those enemies. And that is why people are not quite sure about Obama, but they attribute to him whatever views that they will find most attractive, because they want, for various reasons, to support him, and are determined, in order to convince themselves that this makes sense, to find reasons that they weave out of whole cloth. Obama's tactic is to remain, as much as possible, a tabula rasa on which as many people as possible can write their own sentiments and desires, and then read them back to themselves. And the beauty of it is that on this particular slate, the hideous squeaks of real chalk on a real slate or blackboard cannot be heard, because real writing would offend now this group of voters and now that, and that tabula remains still largely rasa, and that is the point -- not to present policies, but to keep from making any clear enemies.
All (imagined) things, to all people -- or as many of them as can be kept benevolently guessing as possible. And he has been treated with kid gloves. Why, for example, have his longstanding and apparently close ties to the Reverend Lawrence Wright not been made the subject of great interest, or Obama's brief and dismissive explanations simply accepted, without more? The disturbing views and worldview of the man whom Barack Obama describes as a friend, mentor, and general all-round inspiration (and source of the phrase "The Audacity of Hope"), have not been sufficiently considered. Just imagine a white candidate, who for two decades had been the member of a church with a white minister who held something like the views of Rev. Wright, except that the word "white" should be substituted, in all of Wright's sermons and statements, for the word "black." Such a candidate would not, for one minute, have a chance. And it is only in the last year that there has been a studied attempt by the Obama campaign, for obvious reasons, to diminish or hide Wright's opinions, which at the very least Obama has no record of having publicly -- or privately -- opposed, during the nearly twenty years that he was a member of Wright's congregation.
No, Obama's main claim to fame are a few books, which some find touching and heartrending, and others -- such as Bruce Bawer, find quite disturbing. They are, predictably, about Finding My Identity which, of course, means Coming To Terms With The Father I Never Knew. He's black, he's white, he's read all over.
But what are his policies, beyond the platitudes that may remind some of Obama's friend and fellow speechifier of uplift Deval Patrick? And by the way, just how is Deval Patrick doing in Massachusetts, where he appears to be gambling the state government's economic future on highly dubious assumptions about three -- count them, three -- proposed gambling casinos and has in every way proven such a disappointment to his most ardent supporters?
Policies, please. Some may relish the opportunity to Prove Themselves. Those of us who do not feel that we have any obligation to prove ourselves, on race or on anything else, will want a little more substance. Start with energy policy and environmental degradation, then a little on how most cleverly and effectively to deal with the menace of Jihad -- including the Money Weapon, Da'wa, and demographic conquest. Then something about health care, and why you think requiring everyone to have medical insurance is a bad idea. And then, finally, how do you propose to improve the collapsing system of public education, and the raising of standards back to the level of only a few decades ago? That's enough for a start. No need for any more platitudes (or plongitudes) about the need for "change." We all get it. All the candidates get it. We all agree that "change" is necessary. And then? Just give us those details please, about environmental policy and its inevitable corollary, energy policies, and about the problem of Jihad (and by all means stick to the withdrawing-from-Iraq policy, but make sure it is presented not as part of an appeasement of Iran or other Muslim polities or peoples, but presented as part of a much more effective, and certainly less expensive, policy to deal not merely with "terrorism" but with the Money Weapon, Da'wa, and demographic conquest, especially in the historic heart of the West, Western Europe. And of course tell us how you would improve schools, and save education from the idea that it is nothing more than vocational training. Barack Obama may very well be the best candidate. But how can we know, if we have little more than those calls for "change" to go on.
So give us those details. Spell out those policies.
We're all ears.

I just heard Ferraro on the evening news and she said that the Obama campaign pushed the story to the national press. It was just some remarks she made in response to a question after speaking to a small group somewhere - I didn't catch where (350 people). She was outraged that they called her a racist and said they'd have a harder time pulling that off now. She was livid.

Sovereign Grace Church of Central Pennsylvania finally has a place to call home.
The five-year-old church has been meeting at various venues in the Altoona area, but now the members have a permanent address at 109 Bellview St. in the city's Garden Heights area.
The Altoona worship center is one of about 80 churches under the Sovereign Grace umbrella. The Christian faith group has been in existence for about 30 years and has its headquarters in Louisville, Ky.
Article Photos
(Mirror photo by Gary M. Baranec)People gather for a prayer meeting at Sovereign Grace Church of Central Pennsylvania. Taking part in the meeting are (from left) Ralph Rispoli, Marilyn Gottshall, Jody and Pastor Tom Kurtz and Jodie and Troy Campbell.
Pastor Tom Kurtz, spiritual leader for Sovereign Grace Church of Central Pennsylvania, said the group of churches follow a Reformed doctrine or one that teaches that God is an active agent in a person's salvation.
"God seeks and saves the lost. The person needs to respond," he said.
He said that in Luke 15, Jesus speaks about the shepherd who has lost a sheep, a woman who has lost a coin and a father who has lost a son. He said all three are joyful when they find what was lost, but the greatest picture of joy comes from the father and that in the same way God is actively seeking and rescuing people.
Sovereign Grace churches also believe in the ongoing work or gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Kurtz said the gifts of the Spirit include a belief that people can be healed and that believers can receive a word from God or Scripture verse to encourage another person or perhaps benefit the entire body. He said such words are usually expressed after consulting with him or another church leader.
"God's spirit is working in his church through every member of the church," Kurtz said.
The church in Altoona started with about 20 to 30 people and now has an average of 80 people in attendance on Sundays.
Kurtz, a former vocational pastor, said he and his wife, Jody, and three children learned about Sovereign Grace churches while visiting one in Gaithersburg, Md., during a vacation about 11 years ago. Kurtz said he and his family were impressed with the Bible-based teaching and that the music's lyrics represented who God is. They also noticed that the members seemed to care for one another and that whole families sat together.
After learning about Sovereign Grace Church of Indiana, Pa., the family began traveling the 50-plus miles every Sunday to worship there in 2004 and were joined by several families from Altoona.
Kurtz, who earned a degree in pastoral studies at Baptist Bible College in Clarks Summit, had previously served part time in several Baptist churches in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Locally, he has been principal at Great Commission School and was a part-time staff member at an area church.
"I have been involved in church ministry since 1988," Kurtz said.
He said he and Jody were praying about starting a Sovereign Grace Church in Altoona when Sovereign Grace of Indiana approached them about planting a church here with Kurtz to be the pastor.
To prepare for this undertaking, Kurtz and his family moved to Gaithersburg where he attended Pastors' College from August 2005 to May 2006. They then moved to Indiana, Pa., where Kurtz did an internship to gain experience in all aspects of ministry.
Sovereign Grace of Central Pennsylvania was established in Altoona in July 2007 with services being held at the Ramada Inn and then at another hotel.
In April of 2008, the church began to rent space from the new owners of the building that had served Christ Second Lutheran Church at 1110 Seventh Ave., before that congregation relocated to Fourth Street.
Although Sovereign Grace believers were united in their efforts to serve God, they longed for a house of worship to call their own.
Kurtz said they wanted a facility that met several criteria: to be in a neighborhood surrounded by people, close to Interstate 99 to make it accessible and to fit the church's price range.
In July 2011, the former Garden Heights United Methodist Church was closed and put up for sale. Kurtz said the initial price was out of Sovereign Grace's range, but it became affordable when the price was reduced to $120,000.
He said the church is in good condition.
"The mechanics are incredible," Kurtz said.
With four classrooms, a kitchen and meeting hall in the basement, the church also offers room to grow.
Brook Gamber and his wife, Karen, of Altoona are among the members who have been with the church during its search for a permanent home. They have been attending Sovereign Grace for about 3 years.
Gamber said he was impressed with Sovereign Grace from his first visit.
"Pastor Tom went out of his way to greet visitors," he said.
Gamber said he also sensed "the incredible warmth of the people. They were very welcoming."
Gamber, who also has a degree in pastoral ministry from a Bible college, said he wanted to serve the church early on, but Kurtz encouraged him to be ministered to and to get to know the people and the church first.
He said that was a different approach from some churches where new attendees are sometimes put to work right away.
Gamber is now part of the leadership team or group of men that make decisions regarding the church. He also leads a prayer meeting with Bible study Tuesdays and is available to preach in Kurtz's absence.
Kurtz said the Bible study used to be held in homes, and now it is held at the church.
He said being established in a community opens up more opportunities to serve the neighborhood, such as an outreach held at Halloween where kids and adults enjoyed kettle corn.
Kurtz said it provided an opportunity for the community and church members to get acquainted.
And in December, Sovereign Grace members will celebrate the birth of Christ with the singing of carols for the first time in their own sanctuary.

NEW CUMBERLAND-Parents wanting to have their children "shop with a cop" this Christmas have one more opportunity to participate in the 2012 program.
Interviews with qualifying families will be held from 6-7 p.m. Thursday in the jury room of courtroom No. 1 at the Hancock County Courthouse.
The "Shop with a Cop" program, sponsored by the Hancock County Deputy Sheriff's Association, gives monetary assistance to families so that their children can get toys and clothes for Christmas.
"We have not had to turn away anyone who was approved for three or four years now," said Tom Tompos, a former Hancock County sheriff's sergeant and co-chair, with Deputy Pat Hoder, of this year's "Shop with a Cop" campaign.
In its 24th year, the "Shop with a Cop" program has helped more than 4,000 children from Hancock County, Tompos said.
This year's shopping day starts at 9 a.m. Dec. 16, a Sunday, at the Weirton Kmart. Sheriff's deputies shop with the families, help them at the checkout and bag the presents, Tompos said.
"We're the bag boys for the day," he said.
Applications for the program can be obtained at the Chester and New Cumberland Sparkle markets, the Weirton Kmart and the Penn-Way Pharmacy in Weirton.
Custodial parents should bring a completed
application with them to the interview. They should also bring the children's birth certificates, report cards if the children are school age, and two utility bills proving residence in Hancock County.
Qualifying families will then receive a voucher in the mail, which they must bring with them on the shopping day. The average assistance, depending on the age of the child, is $50 to $60, Tompos said.
The number of children under 18 helped each year ranges from 100 to 150, he said.
To send a donation, make the check out to: "Shop with a Cop," P.O. Box 2206, Weirton, WV 26062.

I think Ubisoft should consider creating a game much like lost as from whom I have come across there is a strong demand and liking for open world games. This has scenery like lost and such a powerful, emotional and most importantly an interesting storyline/plot. Open World games let the gamer explore and discover different regions of the game, wither that is the world it is exploring or just the minor achievements and missions they can accomplish, and not the feeling that you have no choice but to do the mission or level of the game. Gamers hate it when they are isolated into one small area which looks onto an area which they want to explore. This is exactly what is in LOST: Via Domus. Games need opportunities and choices which lead the character into different situations, this is what the LOST: Via Domus fans want, a game which is not so secluded which leads to boredom.
Ubisoft should consider creating a game which;
- Most definitely OPEN WORLD
- Has a similar setting to LOST, for example an island means the island is the only place to go as large quantities of land which has a surrounding which is completely pointless makes the game feel cheap and not thought through well.
- Options and choices which change gameplay
- A rainforest setting with minor buildings, which at some point you can access all buildings.
- Transportation, such as boat minor vehicles and maybe aircraft such as planes and helicopters depending on the character and story (If transportation is included detailed damage is vital, not the vehicle just blowing up due to minor damage, as this causes the gamer to become frustrated)
- A level and amount of health, armour and fire power (This also depends on the character and story)
- No permanent ending, by this I mean the player may roam and carry on to explore the world without restarting)
- Optional: Side characters to support the gamer along their journey and gameplay.
I do hope Ubisoft consider my choices or take ideas into another style of game as I have thought through this. I am a gamer myself as well as a LOST fan, so I hope you do remake or create a game in the style of LOST: Via Domus.

More About This Wine
About Costanti
When Andrea Costanti took over the family business from his Uncle Emilio in 1983, he had big shoes to fill—the Costantis have been one of the premier wine families in Montalcino since the 1500s. Costanti proved more than up to the challenge, however, and today, produces complex, aromatic Brunellos, plus the Super Tuscan Vermiglio.
2004 Costanti Brunello di Montalcino (in magnum)
Producer: Costanti
Style: Red Wine
Grape Type: Sangiovese
Origin: Italy
Region: Tuscany
93(+?) Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - July/August 2009
($90) Bright medium red. Knockout nose suggests a wine of strong extract and extends one's Brunello vocabulary: cherry, peach pit, licorice, lead pencil, honey, jasmine, botanical herbs, you name it. Dry, classic and sharply delineated, conveying a strong impression of energy allied with great delicacy. This manages to be very ripe, broad and silky and at the same time virtually weightless. Finishes sweet, pliant, minerally and very long. With aeration, though, this shut down dramatically in my glass and showed a leathery element. One for the cellar. (Empson U.S.A., Alexandria, VA)

A research project has begun in Ohio to find ways of increasing the state's production of blackberries and raspberries as consumer demand for those fruits continues to grow.
Researchers with Ohio State University Extension are studying alternative planting methods to help Ohio growers step up production of the two increasingly popular fruits that many health experts say provide health benefits.
An OSU Extension specialist at the OSU South Centers in Piketon says demand for the berries has grown in recent years thanks partly to consumers seeking those benefits.
The berries contain dietary fiber and high levels of antioxidants that health experts believe protect cells in the body from damage that they say can lead to diseases such as cancer.

In the wake of an incident at a Charleston private school, South Carolina's top legal adviser on Thursday announced his support for legislation that would prevent the mentally ill from getting firearms.
Attorney General Alan Wilson said he would discuss the bill's provisions during a news conference Tuesday morning with state Reps. Eddie Tallon, R-Spartanburg, and Rick Quinn, R-Lexington.
Wilson said in a statement that the tragedy at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school hit "way too close to home" on Feb. 4. That's when police said Alice Boland, 28, a Beaufort woman with a history of mental illness, pointed a loaded gun at an Ashley Hall school official and pulled the trigger. It didn't go off because no round was in the chamber.
Boland had purchased the gun three days earlier in Walterboro and did so legally despite facing a felony charge in 2005 for threatening to kill the president. The count later was dropped after she pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
The attorney general said in his statement that the incident "could have been prevented by communicating, identifying, treating, and prohibiting persons such as the suspect in this case from legally purchasing firearms."
He said South Carolina is one of six states with no barriers to stop the mentally ill from buying a firearm.
Boland, according to federal court documents, had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and forcefully injected with drugs, but a court had never made the necessary ruling to prevent her from buying a gun.
"She should never have been able to purchase a gun; however, she did," Wilson said. "That is why her story highlights the need for mental health reform, not overreaching gun control."
Wilson's announcement came a day after U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican, told journalists that he would introduce a bill to create gun-buying barriers for people who have avoided criminal convictions by claiming insanity.
