ATLANTA One advantage in preparing for a bowl game is that a coaching staff has time to reshape its teams identity, if necessary. There are 15 practices leading up to a postseason game, essentially another spring practice.
When Clemson learned it was to play LSU on Dec. 31 in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, it was immediately clear to coach Dabo Swinney what retooling his team required: Clemson must become more physical.
LSU possesses a top 10 defense loaded with first-round talent. The LSU offensive line is massive, averaging more than 315 pounds per player. LSU physically outmatched South Carolina in a win over the Gamecocks this fall, and it was South Carolina that won the line-of-scrimmage battles for a fourth straight year against Clemson last month.
So, this month Swinney ushered in the most physically demanding bowl practice in his tenure at Clemson.
It doesnt matter if its third and 10, (LSU) will run the power right at you, so you better be prepared for that, Swinney said. This is a (LSU) team that is going to line up and a lot of the time there is going to be one wide receiver on the field. You watch LSU play the game, and thats how they play. Their style of play is a little different.
How is Clemson attempting to become more physical?
Clemson has implemented more good-on-good practice reps, featuring the first-team offense against the first-team defense. Swinney has allowed some live tackling, which means first-team defenders are permitted to tackle first-team offensive players in scrimmage situations. Swinney barred this practice completely under former coordinator Kevin Steele.
Clemson middle linebacker Spencer Shuey said the practices have often focused on Clemson not LSU.
Its been more about correcting our mistakes, Shuey said, and a lot of time thats about being more physical when you hit people.
Some Clemson fans question Clemsons strength and conditioning program, but Swinney has defended strength coach Joey Batson on numerous occasions.
A reporter asked LSU coach Les Miles on Friday how he has fostered a culture of physical toughness at LSU.
Its interesting, we practice a significant portion of every day against LSU, Miles said. And I think that kind of tunes us as best we can. And I dont know that live tacking is the answer. I think its a small piece of that. (Most important) is a quality competitive practice that would require going against the best that you have and I dont know that thats anything special.
Like LSU, Clemson has sent its first-team offense against its first-team defense often in bowl practice. But unlike LSU, Clemson runs an unconventional offense that might actually hinder its defense in preparing for a conventional attack like LSUs.
Defensive coordinators paired with up-tempo, no-huddle offenses have privately grumbled that being paired with such offenses makes it more difficult to practice effectively.
Earlier this year, The Post and Courier found up-tempo offenses negatively affect a programs defense.
Of the 31 teams to run more than 1,000 offensive plays in a season since 2008, 20 of the teams had defenses ranked 50th or worse in yards allowed, nine of those teams ranked 80th or lower and six ranked 100th or worse. Only four ranked in the top 20 of total defense.
Still, Swinney thinks both his offense and defense are well prepared.
People think you have to line up in I formation to be physical, thats the furthest thing from the truth, Swinney said. We have elements of everything in our offense. We pride ourselves in being a very physical football team.
Im confident with how we have prepared. We have tried to give our guys the best chance to win on game day.

A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
CF Jae-Hoon Ha had three hits, scored three runs, and made three circus catches in the outfield, leading the EXST Cubs to a 13-5 drubbing of the EXST A's at the Oakland A's Minor League Complex at Papago Park in Phoenix this morning.
The 18-year old Ha singled and scored in the 1st, 5th, and 7th, and made a sliding catch in left-center in the 3rd, a dip-glove knee-high running catch in right-center in the 5th, and a leaping over-the-shoulder catch at the centerfield fence that took away a two-run home run in the bottom of the 6th. (On the latter play, Ha received a 9.9 from all the judges except the one from North Korea, who inexplicably gave him a 2.5).
The top five hitters in the Cubs lineup reached base an amazing 18 times (combined) today, scoring 11 of the Cubs 13 runs. Besides Ha's offensive contributions, lead-off hitter Logan Watkins reached base four times on a HBP, two walks, and a single, and scored three runs, DH Matt Cerda reached base four times on a double, a single, and two walks, scored three runs, and knocked in three more, clean-up hitter John Contreras had three hits, drove in three, and scored a run, and Sean Hoorelbeke reached base all four times he batted on a walk, two singles, and a double, and he also scored a run.
23-year old Dominican RHP Andres Quezada (converted from outfielder to pitcher a year ago) got the start for the Cubs and worked three solid innings, allowing just one run on three hits, while striking out two. I suspect Quezada could get a promotion to Peoria at any time.
And 20-year old Venezuelan RHP Robert Hernandez (at EXST rehabbing from a sprained ankle suffered the last week of Minor League Camp) worked two innings, but pitched a lot better than his line might otherwise indicate. Hernandez--pitching in front of friends and family from Venezuela--was the victim of shoddy Cubs defense in the bottom of the 5th, including two high pop ups that fell in the "Bermuda Triangle" between SS-LF-3B that SS George Matheus decided he just HAD to try to catch (even though an outfielder probably would have had an easier play) before losing both in the sun,,and a fielding miscue at 3B by the usually sure-handed Jose Made. (Made had an especially poor game, making two errors at 3B, and going 0-4 at the plate, including a strikeout and a GIDP).
Although he allowed two easy pop ups to fall for hits, Matheus did make one outstanding defensive play earlier in the game, ending the bottom of the 1st inning with a spectacular diving catch of a line drive headed toward CF, and then turning it into a 6-3 DP, saving Quezada a run.
18-year old RHP Adam Spencer (one of three teenaged Australian recruits at Cubs EXST) had a roller-coaster ride in the bottom of the 6th, allowing one run on a double and an RBI single, but (as Jack Brickhouse used to say) "It sure could have been worse!" Spencer was the beneficiary of the Ha HR take-away catch, plus another fine play, this one a running over-the-shoulder catch in right-field foul territory by the sometimes defensively-challenged 1B Sean Hoorelbeke.
RHPs Carlos Rojas and Manolin DeLeon each threw one inning, and while Rojas struggled to get through the 8th and allowed two runs (a walk, then a triple, and then an F-8 sac fly), EXST Cubs closer DeLeon had an easy 1-2-3 bottom of the 9th. Like Quezada, DeLeon could be the next pitcher to leave Fitch Park for Peoria (or Daytona).
Here is today's abridged box score (Cubs players only). Note that Jose Guevara was assigned as the bullpen catcher, but he did get an AB in the top of the 8th as DH #3 (and lined a single to left).:
1. Logan Watkins, 2B: 1-2 (HBP, BB, BB, 1B, P-6 - 3 R, 1 PO)
2. Jae-Hoon Ha, CF: 3-5 (1B, F-7, 1B, 1B, 6-3 - 3 R)
3. Matt Cerda, DH #1: 2-3 (1B, BB, BB, 2B, K - 3 R, 3 RBI)
4. John Contreras, DH #2 - C: 3-5 (6-3, 1B, 1B, 1B, L-8 - 1 R, 3 RBI)
5. Sean Hoorelbeke, 1B: 3-3 (BB, 1B, 1B, 2B - 1 R)
6. Jesus Morelli, RF: 1-4 (1-U, K, 5-3, 1B - 1 R, 2 RBI)
7. Alvaro Sosa, C - DH #2: 1-3 (BB, 4-3, K, 3B - 1 R, 1 RBI)
8. George Matheus, SS: 1-4 (FC, 1B, 3-U, E-5 - 1 CS)
9. Sean Williams, LF: 1-4 (5-3, 1-3, 1B, K)
10. Jose Made, 3B: 0-4 (K, 6-3, 6-4-3 GIDP, F-9)
11. Jose Guevara, DH #3: 1-1 (1B + E-7)
1. Andres Quezada - 3.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R (1 ER), 0 BB, 2 K, 3/4 GO/FO
2. Robert Hernandez - 2.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 2 K, 2/2 GO/FO
3. Adam Spencer - 2.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R (1 ER), 0 BB, 1 K, 2/3 GO/FO
4. Carlos Rojas - 1.0 IP, 1 H, 2 R (2 ER), 1 BB, 0 K 1/2 GO/FO
5. Manolin DeLeon - 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, 0/2 GO/FO
Two errors by 3B Jose Made, both while attempting to field grounders, and one of the errors resulted in an unearned run scoring.
ATTENDANCE: 10 (mostly The Robert Hernandez Fan Club)
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
Phil, is Ha doing any catching these days?
Zimmerman hit streak about to end
0 for 3 with 2 BB's including an IBB in the 7th w/ runners on 2nd/3rd and the score 2-0 in favor of the Nats at the time.
Lou pre game press conference
Freel in line up tonight.
Lou said nothing wrong with Soto, even though bottom hand flying off bat during hitting.
Lou said "his hand pronates with swing." Lou must have word of the day calander.
Cubs were 18-14 at this point last year.

Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
How does Hak-Ju Lee look, AZ? He had an injury I think. Is he recovered? I've read various reports he's supposed to be special but I can't really attribute those.
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
nice, AZ, thanks
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
This is really getting annoying falling behind early lately? Cubs down 2-0.
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
But then there is A-FONSE!!!! Man, when he gets hot, he gets white hot (of course when he is bad is really bad).
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
So much for being down very long. BACK to BACK JACKS!! 4 HR's by Theriot already this year. He only hit 12 previously in his entire minor and major league career.
I wish I could hear Ronnie. I love to hear him get all excited about the back-to-back jacks.
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
Anyone else see the Blackhawks player in the stands before the game (I forget his name). He was with one of the most drop-dead gorgeous girls I've ever seen. Someone needs to do some investigating into this matter.
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
Brent Seabrook according to len
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
Ah yes, thanks. Now we must uncover the identity of his female companion.
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
Someone please tell me this game won't be rained out (we're up 5-2 in the top of the 4th right now).
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
Plus, the Soto and Theriot homers wouldn't count. Soto may need that 1 homerun more than Theriot needs the two (!!!) he has so far.
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
I don't understand why they delayed the start of the game. It wasn't raining at the time, and they knew the rain would eventually come, so why not start as early as possible?
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
You are freaking out too early, man!
You have done similar freaks the entire season, as if you are awaiting for the "L" the moment anything goes bad.
The team has more talent than you are giving it - even with the injuries.
Remember: its 9 innings.
Yesterday they were behind with Harden 2-0, and they came back - Harden recovered...Marshall gets behind early EVERY game...but settles down soon!
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
"you are awaiting for the "L" the moment anything goes bad."
This is the Cubs we are talking about, right? :)
I just hate falling behind early and it seems to me they have been doing that a lot lately.
This is a huge stretch in my mind as if they can handle things with Z and ARam out, that could very well propel them to the top of the division.
Theriot with 5 HR's? Man, whatever he is doing (PED's, wheaties, getting it on with Fontenot, etc.) I hope he keeps doing it.
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
Theroit sells The Clear to Manny!
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
So I am wondering about the following players specifically: Larry Suarez, Cedric Redmond, Francisco Acosta, Gian Guzman (as a pitcher), Angel Castro, Diego Encarnacion, Miguel Sierra, Carlos Morales, Carlos Henry, Joel Altagracia, Joseph Colon, Ryan Sontag and to a lesser degree Julio Pena, Oswaldo Martinez (rehabbing), Jeff Antigua, Rogelino Carmona, Marco Carrillo (rehabbing), Dionis Nunez, Jose Tineo, Angel Castro (released?), Ricardo Parra, Clark Hardman (retired?). Any ideas Phil? Thanks.
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
would Lou EVER consider platooning Lee and Hoff? Lee is below .200. it is middle-may, and he has a bulging disc.
Also, don't think this is 3/44, Jayson Werth Stole for the Cycle yesterday!
His theft of home was insane! Russel Martin was throwing the ball back to the pitcher!
Werth is almost as good as Theriot!
Thinks it's been called
Cubs Win...6-4.
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
Sweep Tomorrow vs Chad "Dumpster" Gaudin!
AND yes the team is better with Hoffpauir right now, but its probably going to be a long way down the road for Lee not to play everyday.
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
Lou in post-game: "we're gonna rest some people tomorrow..."
How 'bout some lineup guesses, boys?
here's mine:
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
We just had an off day Monday, and we have another off day next Monday. Why are we resting people?
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
Why are we resting people?
Top 10 reasons:
Because DLee neck makes it hard to use the rear view mirror (Hoffpauir seems to be in the mirror)
Because Soto pronates
Because Bradley's having anxiety attacks waiting for the commish to reply
Because Theriot still waiting on the steroid results from analyzing his pee
Because Freel is still hamstrung
Because Marmol refuses to use Chad Fox's stash of duct tape (but probably needs to start using it)
Because they are waiting on Heilman's DEPENDS shipment
Because Soriano's white hot and it's setting off fires in the locker room
Because Reed Johnson needs more at bats to remain scrappy
Because Angel Guzman is injury prone and Lou wants to get him more work so he can get hurt
Re: A's Not Laughing at Ha Trifecta
Because Rothschild needs more participants for the towel drill.

Thanksgiving Feast Comes Early
Thanksgiving Comes Early to Westminster Class
Students bring Utah-grown food for on-campus feast
By: Nick Parker, staff writer
Football wasn't on. Uncle Morty didn't bring up a story about five cent frankfurters. Grandpa Joe didn't fall asleep with the remote. It was no ordinary Thanksgiving dinner. It was an event only composed of Westminster students and a handful of faculty.
On Thursday, Nov. 9, the English composition and environmental studies learning community class taught by Biology Professor Ty Harrison and Associate English Professor Jeff McCarthy had their own special Thanksgiving dinner, except there was one non-traditional requirement: "All the food had to be grown and produced within 100 miles," said McCarthy.
This caveat made things interesting for students.
"[The students] originally wanted to get a turkey and kill it," said freshman Marque Kuefner.
Though that did not happen, the completely student-produced meal was still a lot of work.
"I had to call Bell Growers, but they didn't have anything [strictly local], so I had to go to Liberty Heights," said Kuefner. "I brought squash. I got Cache Valley honey, roasted it and mixed it."
Some students searched specialty stores such as Liberty Heights and Crumb Brothers to find their pieces for the feast. Others found Utah-grown products at chain stores such as Albertsons. Other truly enterprising students traveled to get their portion of the meal.
"My group was in charge of the meat," said freshman Rob Mehregan from Michigan. "We went fishing in the Provo River. We caught three rainbow trout in five hours and it was fun."
Mehregan discovered how difficult providing food could be.
"When you're fishing for a meal, it's a lot different. We usually do catch and release, but this time we had to make sure we caught something," said Mehregan.
This is the second time the class has put on a feast from area ingredients. McCarthy and Harrison supervised the event last year with another group of students.
"It's cool to find out what really comes from here," said sophomore and ex-class member Madeleine Kirkpatrick. "The best thing we learned was to think organically. We needed to think of what ingredients to use before we thought of what dishes to make."
That type of organic thinking is what McCarthy wants to instill in his students through this class.
"The underlying logic has to do with the fact that they're reading and writing about environmental issues," said McCarthy.
And projects like those bring those issues outside the classroom.
The wafting smells of local garden green beans, Moroni Turkey and campus-grown walnuts brought in some extra noses as well. Professor Richard Badenhausen, Registrar Mindy Wennergren and Environmental Center Coordinator Kerry Case joined the class during their feast.
Case promoted the upcoming Slow Food luncheon in the Environmental Center, which, she said, would be a similar experience.
"There will be a luncheon Wednesday, Nov. 15 here at 12:30 [p.m.]," said Case, where Christi Paulson, leader of Slow Food International, will be discussing the ritual of eating during lunch at Walker 1. Every food has a story about it."
Though this food may not be the object of one of Uncle Morty's tales from his youth, it is one that students will be able to tell around their families' Thanksgiving tables.

The OBJ file format is a geometry definition file format first developed by Wavefront Technologies for its Advanced Visualizer animation package. The file format is open and has been adopted by other 3D graphics application vendors, making it a universally accepted geometry file format. The OBJ file format is a simple data format that represents 3D geometry alone - namely, the position of each vertex, the texture coordinate associated with a vertex, the normal at each vertex, and the faces that make each polygon.

Maui Divers Jewelry's unique Hawaiian Heirloom designs celebrate a tradition that traces back to Hawaii's Queen Lili'uokalani. A personalized gold bracelet that was given to her by England's Queen Victoria inspired her to design deeply meaningful jewelry to share with others back home. Adorned with tropical flowers, ferns and leaves, scrollwork, sometimes engraved with names and phrases, Hawaiian Heirloom jewelry has flourished to become a cherished Island keepsake.
Top Seller
Hawaiian Heirloom Jewelry
Hawaii, with its temperate climate, exquisite beaches, and wondrous landscape has become one of the world's premier travel destinations.

Owning a piece of beautiful hand-crafted coral jewelry or a selection of Hawaiian Heirloom Jewelry is the perfect way to take home a little of the culture and tradition of the Hawaiian Islands.
Hawaiian Heirloom Jewelry originated in the late 1800's when Queen Victoria of England presented Queen Kapiolani and Princess Liliuokalani with a gift of gold bracelets with black enamel engraving. The Hawaiian Queen and Princess were so inspired by Queen Victoria's gift, that they had similar jewelry designed to reflect their own rich Hawaiian heritage. Thus, over 125 years ago, the tradition of Hawaiian Heirloom Jewelry was born and continues today as a treasured collectible and a symbol of Hawaiian culture and tradition.
Maui Divers Jewelry offers a wide variety of custom-designed coral and traditional Hawaiian Heirloom Jewelry in 14KT gold. Coral creations are offered in black coral as well as gold and rare deep-water pink and red corals. These designs often feature pearls and other precious gemstones.

Police: Juvenile leads officers on chase in stolen car
Pursuit ends with a crash into fence
A juvenile was arrested after leading police on a short chase that ended with the driver hitting a fence with a stolen car on Saturday afternoon.
Sacramento police said the juvenile failed to stop when officers tried to pull him over around 12:15 p.m. The driver led police on an eight-minute chase at speeds between 35-45 mph.
Police said the driver treated red lights like stop signs during the chase. The pursuit ended at Franklin Boulevard and Valley High Drive when the juvenile side-swiped a vehicle, lost control and hit a fence.
No one was injured, and police said there was minor damage. The juvenile was reported as a runaway, authorities said.

Neil Patrick Harris: 'The Older My Twins Get, The More I Love Being a Dad'
"The first year with them was complicated," he says in an interview with USA Weekend. "They were crying a lot."
But as the toddlers approach their third birthday in October, it's a whole different ball game.
"The older they get, the more I love being a dad. Now that they're talking, I'm really loving the camp counselor end of parenting," he says. "I'm all about reasoning. If they fall and are okay but crying, David [Burtka, his partner] will be the hugger, and I'll be the 'Show me where it hurts; let's talk about it' one. I come from a family of lawyers, so explanation is crucial."
But the 40-year-old also loves playing with them!
"We do circus tricks together," says the Smurfs 2 and How I Met Your Mother star, who's president of a private magicians club in L.A. and has a "Magic Room" in his home.
And when he and his kids aren't hanging out in their backyard pool – "They're remarkable swimmers," he reveals – he's cherishing the more peaceful times. "I love reading books to them … I use different voices," says Neil, who his kids call "Poppa." "I like moments of quiet connection – like giving them back scratches."

With prevalence approaching 20% in the United States, adolescent obesity has become a common problem for patients, parents, and clinicians. Obese adolescents may experience physical and psychosocial complications, as illustrated by the case of Ms K, a 14-year-old girl with a body mass index of 40. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of pediatric obesity treatment is modest in younger children and declines in older children and adolescents, and few interventions involving adolescents have produced significant long-term weight loss. Nevertheless, novel strategies to alter energy balance have shown preliminary evidence of benefit in clinical trials, including a diet focused on food quality rather than fat restriction and a lifestyle approach to encourage enjoyable physical activity throughout the day rather than intermittent exercise. Parents can have an important influence on weight-related behaviors in adolescents despite typically complicated emotional dynamics at this age, especially through the use of noncoercive methods. A key parenting practice applicable to children of all ages is to create a protective environment in the home, substituting nutritious foods for unhealthful ones and facilitating physical activities instead of sedentary pursuits. Other behaviors that may promote successful long-term weight management include good sleep hygiene, stress reduction, and mindfulness. Ultimately, the obesity epidemic can be attributed to changes in the social environment that hinder healthful lifestyle habits, and prevention will require a comprehensive public health strategy.
Ms K's height and weight throughout childhood on growth curves from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Childhood obesity may lead to adult obesity because of greater duration of excessive weight gain; the tendency for obesity-promoting diet and physical activity habits to track into adulthood8; persistence of biological changes that promote obesity involving, for example, fat cell size, number, or distribution9; and psychosocial issues that cause weight gain and/or antagonize weight loss, including poverty and depression.10 Adult obesity, in turn, may cause childhood obesity through in utero metabolic programming as discussed in the text; parental modeling of obesity-promoting diet and physical activity habits11; normalized perception of excess weight, wherein obesity in a child may be unrecognized or encouraged12; and parental psychosocial issues. Medical and economic costs for society will likely escalate unless this cycle can be arrested.

Thomas Jefferson is spinning in his grave.
Four years from now, the United States won't be the country he and his fellow patriots designed in 1776. We'll be saddled with European-style socialism.
Oh, we can reverse course before it's too late, but some things would have to change first.
For starters, GOP conservatives would need to win more elections.
On Nov. 4, 2014, a total of 35 Senate seats - 21 held by Democrats and 14 held by Republicans - will be in play. All 435 House seats also will be up. House Republicans now have the edge with 234 seats.
How do GOP conservatives win more elections? It'd help if they stopped fielding losers.
Example: Sharron Angle in Nevada in 2010. A plurality of Republicans picked her to run against Democrat Sen. Harry Reid. Angle was ahead by 11 points in June, but she snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Reid won by 6 points on Election Day. Why? Angle was undisciplined (she had opinions on everything) and she lost the backing of prominent Republicans in the state.
Another example: John Raese in West Virginia in 2012. He was the sole GOP primary candidate, and he faced incumbent Democrat Joe Manchin in a state where President Obama couldn't get the time of day. Still, Manchin captured 60 percent of the vote. Why? For one thing, Raese had a track record three failed runs for Senate, including a loss to Manchin in 2010 and for another thing, he had a nasty habit of saying whatever popped into his head, good taste and good sense aside.
Let's assume now that great GOP candidates take the field in 2014. They next need a winning message.
Mischievous liberals suggest that Republicans can boost their vote totals by wooing the "minority electorate." Well no. Doing that would mean abandoning core values, and that would amount to an obscene gesture to conservatives. What's more, targeting the "minority electorate" wouldn't work. Dynamite can't move those voters out of the Democrat tent. (The black vote for Obama proves the point.)
Rather, Republicans need to embrace traditional principles that have made our nation great. "Freedom" and "justice for all" would work well, and they'd blend in nicely with an all-out attack on Obamacare.
The GOP also needs better marketing. Desperately.
Democrats have their "Granny Off the Cliff" TV ad suggesting the GOP budget would kill seniors, so maybe Republicans need to respond in kind. Show an operating room with Obama, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Democrat) and Sen. Reid (Democrat) gathered around a patient on an operating table. Reid and Pelosi nod approvingly as Obama tells bewildered surgeons and nurses, "Stop. That's it. Sew her back up. There's nothing more you can do for the old woman."
Finally, the GOP effort on Election Day would be helped if current Republican office-holders started doing their jobs and acting more like conservatives.
Brent Bozell, president of the Media Research Center, made that exact point during the recent Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington.
He tore into Republican Rep. Paul Ryan for his budget that would increase federal spending to $41 trillion over the next 10 years. Bozell to Ryan: "Do yourself and your country a favor. Rip that budget up and come back with one that truly does reduce the size of government."
Bozell also had words for House GOP leaders. "You, like virtually every single other Republican elected to Congress, solemnly vowed to rid us of Obamacare, which you can do simply by refusing to fund it. Why haven't you done so?
"You've done nothing for over two years but give us excuses and more commitments that tomorrow, yes tomorrow, you'll honor your promises. Do you want to restore your reputations as conservative leaders? All you need to do is honor your promises. They were good ones. Watch what happens next. You'll be heroes."
Indeed and even Thomas Jefferson would stand and applaud them.
George Moore is a retired journalist. Positions he's held during his 35-year career include newspaper reporter, editor and publisher and executive director of the MontanaNewspaper Association. He and his wife, Marilyn, reside in Randolph County.

Managerial Ownership of Debt and Corporate Financial Reporting

City University of Hong Kong
June 26, 2013
We examine whether inside debt held by managers in the form of pension benefits and deferred compensation affects corporate financial reporting practice. We find significant evidence of less conservative financial reporting at firms where CEOs hold more inside debt. This is consistent with the hypothesis that inside debt dampens managerial risk taking incentive and alleviates debtholders' concern for asset substitution and expropriation, thereby reducing firms' need for accounting conservatism to address agency costs of debt. We also find that the negative effect of inside debt on accounting conservatism exhibits several cross-sectional variations as theory predicts and that it is robust to correcting for the endogeneity of inside debt.

FREMONT - Tiffin resident Angela Laugherty completed requirements for a General Educational Development diploma a couple of months after starting the process.
She received paper proof of the accomplishment, but didn't receive the actual certificate until Thursday evening.
"This means everything. ... It's priceless. Education is priceless," she said immediately after the GED graduation ceremony at Terra State Community College Thursday.

Graduates stand before the crowd after receiving their General Educational Development diplomas at Terra State Community College Thursday evening.
Laugherty would have graduated from Columbian High School in the 1990s but got married at a young age, dropped out and started a family. Now, her daughters are students at Columbian.
She started working to obtain her GED diploma last year after having made a full recovery after a surgery in 2005 left her in a coma.
Laugherty participated in Vanguard-Sentinel Adult Career & Technology Center's 18th annual GED graduation ceremony Thursday evening. About 125 people completed GED diplomas during the 2011-12 school year.
"Congratulations to our graduates," said Lynne Barth, Adult Basic & Literacy Education and GED coordinator. "This is a wonderful accomplishment to celebrate with your family and friends."
Graduate Barb Chapman, who offered the keynote address, encountered health problems while obtaining her GED diploma but returned to class. She recalled deciding to obtain it 30 years after high school, but the cycle of returning and stopping continued for about five years.
"I knew it was time for me to take the next step," she said. "Getting my GED was a struggle."
Chapman said once she passed the test, she knew she had to keep going. She is a first-year student at Terra.
She encouraged graduates to set high expectations for themselves.
"You have made it this far, so don't stop now. ... Stay focused. Never give up," she said.
Nancy Sattler, dean of liberal arts and public services at Terra, congratulated graduates and said they had proven their dedication and commitment to their education by attending Thursday's program. They created a set of circumstances on their own and manufactured their own opportunities, she said.
"I wish you the best," she said.

El Paso City Council candidate Lyda Ness Garcia has filed a police report and an ethics complaint against Ann Morgan Lilly, the incumbent she seeks to unseat in Saturday's election.
Lilly represents District 1 on City Council.
After reviewing e-mails that went out and were received by City Rep. Lilly's office in the last five years, Ness Garcia believes Lilly has been campaigning on city time and using city resources.
Ness Garcia reviewed and obtained the documents through an open records request. She and two of her campaign managers spent days looking through nearly 9,000 e-mails.
ABC-7 was allowed access to the documents and found a few e-mails that make direct reference to campaign business. None of them were originated by Lilly.
One of the most recent election-related e-mails is between Mark Smith, who works for Lilly's campaign, and Les Parker, the chairman and president of United Bank of El Paso Del Norte. Lilly was CC'd in the e-mail, in which Smith sends Parker a reminder about a fundraiser reception for Lilly.
Parker responded and wrote, "A very good and reliable source told me that El Paso Electric (you know, OUR electric company according to their ads) is doing their utmost to sabotage and quash the election of our Candidate, Ann Lilly. Guess they don't like those who take them to talk on behalf of the El Paso community. Hmmmm." That correspondence is dated April 7, 2011.
There are also e-mails that date back to the last election four years ago. In one of them dated May 8, 2007, Jack Winton of Winton / Flair Homes, and supporter of the Lilly wrote the following to Lilly: "Dear Ann, Just wanted to update you on the mass mailing we conducted last week of approximately 650 letters to Realtors, Broekers and Appraisers, in an effort to encourage all to support your campaign. Attached you will find some images that will help you visualize, how many letters went out. We all wish you luck on the upcoming election!"
Lilly's legislative aid at the time, Anthony Pearson, responded to Winton. "Actually, Ann would like to see the letter that you mailed to the brokers, etc. That is what I am asking you to fax to 541-4380," Pearson wrote.
Another e-mail is between Save the Valley, a civic organization who wrote Lilly asking her to attend their forum. Lilly's current legislative aide, Lupe Hernandez wrote back, saying, "I am emailing you on behalf of Representative Lilly to let you know she will be attending."
"We had heard it from so many people who work currently or previously worked at city hall that we knew it was going on, but now we finally have concrete and hard evidence that we can file a formal complaint, which I believe would have been irresponsible to do before", said Ness Garcia.
A Texas Ethics Commission spokesman said there is no legal distinction between campaign business and personal business when it comes to allegations of misuse of public resources.
According to Opinion 372 by the Commission, personal and business use of public resources sometimes may overlap. "State officers' and employees' personal lives occasionally intersect with their work lives and that reasonable and incidental use of state time or state property in crossing such intersections is not a 'misuse' of state resources for purposes of Penal Code section 39.02."
The key to prove that Lilly was misusing city time and resources will most likely depend on whether it can be proven Lilly has habitually campaigned using city time and equipment.
Among the e-mails, there was also a memo from the City's Human Resources Department reminding all city employees of a city policy that prohibits using city time or resources for political purposes.
"She's used the phone number and she's used that email as her campaign email with some of the records she's filed with the city. But secondly Mark Smith is helping to run her campaign, so the fact that he's communicating with her and with a third party individual and forwarding a campaign document to her would be indicative that they're communicating on city time," said Ness Garcia, referring to Lilly.
Lilly did not agree to an on-camera interview, saying she needed to talk to her attorney about the allegations against her before commenting. She did later send us an e-mail statement through her attorney.
"If the opponent chooses to make any complaints, we will pursue any legal remedies to the full extent permitted by the law. I will not permit that opponent, or anyone, to go unchallenged if she tries to attack my family, my name, my life service to this community, or my service on city council. It is very unfortunate that this opponent has seen fit to attempt to campaign through media attacks, which only serve to reveal the lack of scruples, values and mean spirit of the candidate. Do the good citizens of District 1 deserve a representative like that? Absolutely not. They deserve better, and that is why I am seeking re-election" the statement read.
Ness Garcia said that just because the e-mails don't originate from Lilly, it doesn't mean she's not responsible. She believes Lilly ordered her legislative aids to respond to campaign business.
"I'm dismayed that our city representative is in fact displaying the kind of arrogance that we've seen with other public corruption issues here in El Paso, but at least the tax-payers will know exactly what she's up to with on our tax payer money and on our tax payer dime," Ness Garcia said.
The race between the two opponents has been heated one.
In her statement, Lilly wrote "One of my opponents, a lawyer who has been sanctioned by the Texas Ethics Commission, who has a fine currently pending with the Texas Ethics Commission for being delinquent in a report, who is the subject of substantial federal tax liens, and who is a debtor by judgment to vendors to her law practice, is apparently trying to distract voters from the issues in our campaign by making false accusations against me."
Ness Garcia was fined by the Ethics Commission for accepting a donation from a corporation the last time she ran for public office. She said that she was not aware of the donation until the complaint was filed, at which point, she fired her then campaign treasurer.
Ness Garcia also owes the IRS an undisclosed amount of money and has a federal tax lien on her law practice. An issue that stems, she said, from faulty advice from her first accountant and her initial inexperience in the infancy of her law practice. As for the debt to a vendor of her law practice, Ness Garcia said she could not keep an agreement with a business she contracted, and is now making payments on that settlement.
Ness Garcia's past is not the only one that has surfaced. The challenger points to lawsuits against Lilly as a landowner and business owner.

I'm a big fan of cooked carrots, so I was happy to have the folks at Grimmway Farms send me their new Simply Delicious Carrot Creations.
These cooked up rather well, though they maybe could have used another 30 seconds on top of the three minutes I cooked them initially.
The best part of the kit was the flavor. I really enjoyed the Roasted Garlic & Savory herb flavor, which had just enough butter and seasonings in it to be delicious, but not overwhelmingly salty. I've seen quite a few products in my kitchen that lean pretty heavily on salt for their flavor.
These definitely didn't give me that "lunch lady carrots" feeling and I'd try them again.

Simple relief from postpartum pain ... a peri bottle is an essential maternity item.
While not all birth supplies are essential, we feel no woman about to become a mother should be without a perineal bottle for irrigation or having clean, cool water on hand at all times. Urinating after giving birth can sting! Our peri bottle will help relieve the sting and help you cope with perineal pain after giving birth. Also makes a great bottle for wipe solution, or to keep warm water handy at a change table after mom is done using it herself.
Why no new mother should be without a peri bottle after birth:
- Reusable plastic perineal bottle with screw top for easy filling.
- Mother can regulate water flow by simply using more or less pressure based on comfort level.
- Helps new mothers cope with pain after giving birth.
- Used to help heal and reduce the chance of irritation or infection of the perineal area.
- Pop-up nozzle contains four small holes to produce a gentle spray.
- Also a great travel companion when water isn't accessible - fits easily in a purse or diaper bag.
- Many uses for after birth. You'll want more of these for around the house. This product won't go to waste!
- Each 8-oz (1 cup) bottle measures 7 in. high.
Clear perineal irrigation bottle with twist-off top for perineal irrigation and care after a homebirth or any birth. A perineal bottle is a necessity for and should be included in any birth kit. Use for irrigation of the perineal area during urination to prevent perineal pain and discomfort. From personal experience we believe no mom-to-be should be without this simple yet highly effective birth product.
You will be thankful to have a perineal bottle available after the birth of your baby. A perineal bottle allows warm water to be available for comfort during perineal irrigation. Help speed healing and use a healing herbal teas in your perineal bottle, or simply use for comfort during urination.
What to use your Perineal Bottle for after Birth
As always, we prefer to use products that are reusable and have a life after their intended use. These little bottles serve many more purposes than just as a perineal cleansing bottle. They can be used for wound irrigation after birth, or for cleaning around the house. Kids love to play with them in the bath and I found it very helpful myself when washing my newborn's hair.
A peri bottle is also a great travel companion as it is small, lightweight, and easily fits in a purse or diaper bag. Keep it filled with water while you're out and about so that you can wet cloth wipes to wipe messy hands and faces, use to rinse mama pads (then store them in your travel wet bag!) or fill with any travel essential such as laundry soap, shampoo or body wash.
Let us know what your uses are for perineal bottle after your birth so we can add them to our list.
Price is for one (1) transparent and economical perineal irrigation bottle. Birth supplies are a final sale.

Essential item for mama and baby Review by CINDY
Price Value Quality
This is most well known for its use postpartum, to clean and soothe perineal areas after birth. However it is also a great item for other uses and a staple in my bathroom! It is perfect for cleaning up after using the restroom anytime. You can also fill with witch hazel and use during pregnancy for hemorrhoids, yeast infections, and/or to soothe postpartum swelling. I even have one on my change table to use on cloth wipes for cloth diapers, and another in my diaper bag so that I can use cloth while out! IMO, Peri bottles are a mama's best friend and you definitely need more than one. (Posted on 1/4/11)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
A must have for postpartum care Review by Amanda
Price Value Quality
A friend suggested this was one of the must-haves for the hospital bag, and I'm so glad I got one! I had third degree tearing and many, many stitches, so having this in the bathroom made things feel much more comfortable those first few days. I filled with lukewarm water and a little witch hazel and found it helped the healing process. I took it into the shower for the first couple of weeks, too, to help cleanse without having to wipe.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Well organised, great value 10kIn full: Well organised 3 loop race with a mix of club runners and others - not many over the hour mark but friendly enough. Water station and finish worked well, results timely and nice presentation afterward, club house has good facilities and teas and cake. Well recommended. Date of review: September 6, 2016
In short: A well organised traffic-free half in London - brilliant! In full: I really enjoyed this race (which is odd as I generally run on trail). I'm putting it down to great organisation, a decent atmosphere and a good route which had enough undulations to keep me interested but wasn't too hilly. The 'hills' (it is still west London after all) maybe add a minute or two to your flat time, not steep and the downs were there too. For a suburban race it was nice enough - the park sections broke it up a bit. Excellent signage; mile markers and even indications of which way you're going to turn next. It was a bit twisty but no hair pin bends. Surprising level of support for Sunday morning - and enthusiastic marshals. Well done Ealing Eagles! I'll remember it's a 9:15 start next year (yes I know all the info said it but I had 9:30 in my head - was nice to see three-quarters of the field during my run!). Date of review: September 29, 2013
In short: Super route, lovely marshals, good mix of hills and flats and a bargain!In full: Nice low key race and only £7 on the day attached entry meant there wasn't the medal and t-shirt that very few would've wanted anyway. The route and hills were enough of a memento. Great, encouraging marshals and a really runnable route (except the two ploughed fields which were challenging!). Thanks Royston Runners for a super morning run. Tea and cake at the finish were a really nice touch - impressive cake! I'll be back next year. Date of review: September 22, 2013
In short: Superb race - well organised and great routeIn full: I thought this route was great - some decent hills and lovely trails with some sweeping downhills, the last of which was very welcome! Good route signage and marshals at every turn meant it was easy to race and the water stops were plentiful - 3 in 10 miles is more than adequate. Really friendly atmosphere and good touch to have a medal at the end (all for a £10!). Teas and cakes were pretty good too.Rather a surprise to get a trophy for 2nd SL but very nice.I think it'll become a classic - hoping to bring a lot more from our club (Serpentine) next year, really not that hard to get to from Waterloo. Thanks all!Date of review: August 4, 2013
In short: Lovely race through pretty countryside and good organisation!In full: A great 10 miler with a decent mix of quick and not-so-quick runners. Nice minutes silence at start for Remembrance day. Route was quite despite all road and a tiny bit of undulation made it less dull than a flat race. Nice atmosphere and medal. Definitely on my list to come back to. I did a 3 min pb, but that's more a reflection of it being 2 years since I last ran a 10 miler! Date of review: November 11, 2012
In short: Great race, good organisation and lovely route!In full: Good race with super marshals, challenging hills and a few muddy patches! Worth keeping something in the tank for the second half which felt a bit hillier. Date of review: October 9, 2012
In short: Bad organisation and not an inspiring course!In full: Most of what I thought has been said here before so I'll be brief: (the weather being the least of the problems)1) a muddy track doesn't belong in a road marathon (and it's muddy all through the year that bit!) 2) The baggage tent fiasco was appalling and organiser were very lucky a serious incident didn't occur 3) the route - apart from Old Trafford stadium - was dull. 4) the start was ridiculous with no distinction betwen fast and slower runners, and spectators mingling throughout. I've run in over 50 marathons and ultras - this was the worst yet, with the possible exception of Hull - at least the course was the right distance and there were mile markers, it was also one of the most expensive. It was my Mother's first and even the pride in her finishing didn't detract from the feeling of regret for this being her first. See blog for full write-up:www.runningandbaking.comDate of review: May 1, 2012
In short: Good intentions but lots of learning if it goes ahead again!In full: A city marathon needs lots of planning and it felt as though this race was planned in some areas - sponsorship, good website - but in the vital areas that affect runners it was poor. No mile markers for a marathon is awful, especially with so many first-time marathoners. I provided a useful 'shouting out the mile from my Garmin' service for those nearby! I was worried when on the Friday night an email with maps was sent out - but assumed we didn't need to take them with us! The route could not have been run by a runner before - there's no way anyone who's previously done a marathon (I've run over 50) would think the doubling back on a thin path round tight corners was a good idea. The turn around point was a bollard with no sign and a marshal about 20m away. Some marshals were shouting 'keep left' others 'keep right', though at least there were a few marshals there - the rest of the course had very few. The water stations were ok.The wide road and section to the bridge was much better to run on and though sparsely supported (well it was an 8am start on Easter Monday - that needs changing!). The road blocks were poor - the signs needed to be at the start of closed roads not the point where it's closed; I actually felt for the motorists having to U-turn! And the rent-a-security guys seemed not to have fully woken up.So for next year: 10am start, get local running clubs and relatives of runners as marshals, number sent out or at least longer hours on the Saturday to pick up, mile markers, a PA system at start/finish, more signage for the route where not marshalled, a timing mat at half way and no wiggly route through the narrow docks! Date of review: April 10, 2012
In short: Super race with great atmosphere and lovely courseIn full: Wonderful 2 loops of a varied cross country course - some flat running on the field and hills in the woods. Pretty dry underfoot and lots of tree roots (and a fallen tree!) to make it worth watching your feet. 80 runners this year enjoyed the support of plenty of marshals and lovely cakes at the end. All round great race for the end of the cross country season. Hope it's on next year! Date of review: March 18, 2012
In short: Hills, what hills?*In full: *I've been running in the Alps all summer - this may have altered my perception!I love this race. Last year I did it in 4:50 having run Beachy head the day before, this year much more enjoyable with fresh legs (broke 4hrs this year). Great Marshalling - and some great enthusiastic encouragement from fellow runners as it's out and back. Yes it's hilly if you're used to running round London but it's got some great views thanks to those hills. One of the few events where everyone is smiling all the way round (yes the great weather helped again!) and there's a real sense of acheivement at the end. The kind of race that makes you wonder why people run congested, flat, road marathons!I'll be back next year!Date of review: October 18, 2010

About Me
Everything I have come to witness, everything I have come to understand, everything I have come to know,
everything I have come to love, of good and evil, of hockey, of Red Wings, started in early, cold January in
1997 with a game against the Avalanche, few weeks after I've come to live in the United states from Europe.
While it was not the infamous bench-clearing brawl game that would come a bit later, it has stuck with me
ever since. And it always will. Without ever seeing a hockey game in my life, without knowing anything about
the sport, without even knowing of the Red Wings existence, I accidentally stumbled upon a game that would
change my life.
The name, the colors, Scotty Bowman's look, it all left a monumental impression on a young, innocent kid.
I was surprised that I was mesmerized by something, at first glance so simple and effortless... the way they
were passing the puck around. I questioned weather it was the Red Wings or the game of hockey itself that
had me spellbound.
I had my answer two days later, during which I tried to watch several other games, none featuring the magicians
in red and white. "Tried" is the right word, since it took an effort on my part to watch something that left me mostly
"So..., the Red Wings then, that's the answer," I thought to myself.
"Yes, they play hockey too, but, it's Red Wings Hockey."
To this day, it's difficult for me to watch other teams, so I do not.
On the other hand, with the Red Wings, it's always the same on gameday: a lot of anticipation, a lot of excitement,
dash of fear. When they score: instant dementia that leads to derangement and culminates in pure ecstasy.
Let's not talk about opponents and playoffs, I'll be banned, and I've only just registered.
I have been lurking around this forum for two years now. It's finally time to let my presence felt. Why now? I do not know.
Perhaps the final star has aligned itself in the form of our victory against the Vancouver Canucks. I am still buzzing from it.
That game made me go and buy Little Caesars pizza at 11 o'clock at night. I never had Little Caesars pizza before,
and I have been living here, happily now, for 14 years. I was not even hungry. What can you say about their $5 Hot-n-Ready!?
It's hot. It's ready. 'Nuff said.
I hope you won't hold it against me, my lengthy introduction and such.
Do not despair. The game is drawing near, and I am out of ale. I must make haste.
The only question now is: India Pale or Belgian white? Perhaps Red Amber...
Catch you on the flip side.

text: The 1881 production of Robinson Crusoe was the most expensively produced pantomime to date. It had an orchestra of 30, 150 dancers, 260 children and 'supers' (extras), and a total staff of 700 or 800. Considerable licence had to be taken with Daniel Defoe's original story in order to incorporate all the traditional elements of the Christmas pantomime, and one journalist noted that 'Defoe would not be likely to recognise his own story if he could witness it represented at Drury Lane'. Man Friday, the black native whom Crusoe befriends in the book was played by Charles Lauri – a white actor blacked up and masked, whose comic performance was described as 'nimble and graceful'. Many Victorians had little idea of the difference between African and Indian cultures and the two were freely mixed in the play. The tribe of 'cannibals' from whom Friday is rescued dance an Indian ballet, and 'they march to an old Hindu air that is very appropriate'.

PITTSBURGH - Pittsburgh Steelers fans have to pick their poison in the Super Bowl. Which choice is less offensive:
n Watching the San Francisco 49ers claim their sixth Lombardi trophy, tying the Steelers' total, or:
n Watching Ray Lewis end his career with the Baltimore Ravens by winning a championship? (You know he'll dance if that happens).
Tough one, isn't it?
Some hardcores are swearing they won't even watch the game, but that's hard to believe. It should be a really good match-up and it's the last game of the season, too. It's a long way until September.
Whatever happens on Super Bowl Sunday, there will be no joy in Steelers Nation.
Avoid the hype
If you've already had your fill of Ray Lewis retirement stories and the saga of the coaching Harbaugh brothers, the solution is simple.
Avoid ESPN for the next 10 days, and skip the massive pre-game show on CBS. They'll be the chief offenders in overdoing things before the big game.
You won't even miss all the NBA highlights on "SportsCenter."
You want to go?
The Pittsburgh Penguins' second game of the season started with a fight between Arron Asham of the New York Rangers and the Penguins' Tanner Glass.
In fact, it started as soon as the game did on Sunday night. Officially, they dropped their gloves two seconds after the puck dropped for the opening faceoff.
Their issue? None really.
"He said, 'Do you want to go,' and I said OK," was the way Glass recounted it later.
Rangers coach John Tortorella all but admitted he started Asham with the idea a fight would jump-start his team.
So they slugged it out for nearly a minute (that's a long time in a hockey fight), sat out their major penalties, and the game continued without incident.
Sometimes there are reasons for fights - a simmering feud, a flash of anger after a play. Other times, it's as perfunctory as it was in this case.
The odd thing is two guys can spend that time firing fists at each other's faces, then completely let it go. At the Civic Arena, the visiting team's path to the bus went past the Penguins' locker room. It wasn't uncommon to see two players who had squared off in the game chatting calmly when their paths crossed while leaving the arena.
It's a different culture in hockey.
Shut out
The Penguins head into tonight's home opener 2-0 without a goal from either Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin.
If scoring from the top two centers is the biggest concern the Penguins have, they'll have quite a season.
