UNIVERSITY PARK - Following are the highlights and lowlights from Penn State's Blue-White Game Saturday at Beaver Stadium, won by the Blue, 17-3:
Play of the game: Near the end of what was a very spotty day for offensive execution, true freshman Paul Jones lofted a nice pass to the back of the end zone, where redshirt frosh Shawney Kersey pulled it in and got his feet down for their second touchdown connection of the game.
Offensive player of the game: Jones went 5-for-8 for 67 yards and two TDs.

The Blue's Derek Moye catches a pass in traffic as the White's Mike Wallace (14), Bani Gbadyu (15) and Chris Colasanti defend.
Defensive player of the game: Nate Stupar made six solo tackles, assisted on another, made one stop for a 3-yard loss and returned an interception 24 yards.
Most telling statistic: The two likeliest candidates to be the starting quarterback in the season opener against Youngstown State - Kevin Newsome and Matt McGloin - were 15-of-35 passing with no touchdowns, two interceptions and were sacked four times.
Most deceiving statistic: Graham Zug and Russell Nye averaged 43.5 yards in their six punts, but that was inflated by Nye's 69-yard boot and the fact that none of the low, line-drive punts were fielded and were allowed to roll.
Hidden statistic: With so much attention on the quarterbacks, receivers and freshman running back Silas Redd, redshirt freshman running back Curtis Dukes quietly combined for 60 yards rushing-receiving behind the second-team offensive line.
Best run: On his first carry, early-entree freshman Silas Redd looked very elusive, weaving his way for a 16-yard gain.
Best pass: One play after Cody Castor intercepted a deflected pass and returned it to the White 18, freshman Jones tossed a picture-perfect fade pass to Kersey for a touchdown in the second quarter.
Worst pass: A number of candidates, but McGloin would have had a long touchdown pass to Curtis Drake had he thrown the ball to the corner. Instead, his pass went inside, and he was fortunate it wasn't picked off by Stephen Obeng-Agyapong.
Best catch: Derek Moye bobbled but held onto a high McGloin pass just before being hit by three White defenders for a 12-yard gain and a first down.
Catch it, will ya: Brett Brackett got himself wide open for McGloin's second pass of the game but dropped a pass that would have given the White team a first down at midfield.
Hold it, won't ya: Chaz Powell, who moved over from receiver to defensive back, stepped in front of a McGloin throw but couldn't hang onto a potential 90-yard interception return.
Best call: Newsome looked very shaky on his first series but he settled down after getting to complete an easy screen pass to Stephfon Green his next time on the field. He completed his next two passes for 27 yards.
Worst call: None worth noting.
Best block: Nick Sukay sprung Nate Stupar for about a dozen extra yards on an interception return of a McGloin pass in the second quarter.
Best tackle: Converted safety Gerald Hodges came from his outside linebacker spot to bring down Curtis Drake for a 1-yard loss on a receiver screen.
Best hit: Bani Gbadyu sized up and leveled an unsuspecting Garry Gilliam coming over the middle on the third-quarter reception.
Worst tackle: There were no glaring misses or broken tackles that weren't the result of a slick move or extra effort by the ballcarrier.
Best kick: Collin Wagner connected on a 46-yard field goal to open the scoring.
Worst kick: Pick your punt: Only one of the six had any real hang time and Zug's second only traveled 29 yards. Backup place-kicker David Soldner also missed a 32-yard field goal attempt.
Best decision: Letting the clock run on normal stoppages to get the game over by 4 p.m.
Worst decision: Early in the third quarter, McGloin threw a pass into a sea of Blue defenders and had it picked off by James Van Fleet.
Best effort: McGloin did a great job eluding the rush and keeping several plays alive. Midway through the third quarter, he dodged three defenders and dumped a pass off to Dukes just before reaching the line of scrimmage to convert a fourth-and-1 with a 23-yard pickup.
Unsung hero: Kevion Latham was only credited with one sack, but the junior-to-be defensive end from Greensboro, N.C., spent much of the game in the offensive backfield, forcing scrambles and quick deliveries.

In his Saturday radio address, President Bush urged Congress to reconsider it's position on the Columbia free trade agreement. Read the transcript of his remarks below:
THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Next week, I will be hosting the North American Leaders' Summit in New Orleans. This event will give me an opportunity to meet with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Mexican President Felipe Calderón to discuss some of the most significant issues facing our hemisphere and the world.
One of the issues that I'll be discussing with these leaders is the importance of expanding trade in our hemisphere. Recently I sent Congress an agreement that would expand America's access to markets in Colombia. Unfortunately, the Speaker of the House has chosen to block the Colombia free trade agreement instead of giving it an up or down vote that Congress committed to. Her action is unprecedented and extremely unfortunate. I hope that the Speaker will change her mind. If she does not, the agreement will be dead. And this will be bad for American workers and bad for America's national security.
And here is why: Today, almost all of Colombia's exports to the United States enter duty-free. But the 9,000 American businesses that export to Colombia, including nearly 8,000 small and mid-sized firms, face significant tariffs on their products. The situation is completely one-sided. Our markets are open to Colombian products, but barriers that make it harder to sell American goods in Colombia remain. If the free trade agreement were implemented, however, most of Colombia's tariffs on American goods would be eliminated immediately.
There is also a strategic imperative to approve the agreement. By obstructing this agreement, Congress is signaling to a watching hemisphere that America cannot be trusted to support its friends. Over the past six years, Colombia's President Uribe has been a steadfast ally of the United States. He's transformed his country from a near-failed state to a stable democracy with a growing economy. He has partnered with America in the fight against drugs and terror. And he has addressed virtually every one of Congress's concerns, including revising the free trade agreement to include some of the most rigorous labor and environmental protections in history.
He has done all this while his country is under violent assault from a terrorist organization and facing constant intimidation from anti-American regimes in the region. As Canada's Prime Minister Harper has said, "If the U.S. turns its back on its friends in Colombia, this will set back our cause far more than any Latin American dictator could hope to achieve."
Leaders in Congress have made a serious error, but it is not too late to get it right. This week, a long list of senior officials from Democratic administrations and Democrats from previous Congresses signed a letter urging Congress to approve the agreement this year. They wrote, "We feel that the treaty should be considered as soon as possible and that any obstacles should be quickly and amicably resolved." I strongly agree. I believe that if the Speaker allows a vote on the merits, a majority of the House of Representatives will approve the trade agreement. So I urge leaders in Congress to reconsider their position, recognize the stakes at hand, and approve the Colombia agreement as soon as possible.
Thank you for listening.

PURPOSE: The FLS is a notification used to provide updated and expanded information regarding an ongoing river flood. The FLS may also be used instead of a flood warning (FLW) for those cases where flooding is imminent or occurring but poses no threat to life or property.
CHANGES: Consult the latest guidance from SRH HSB for a listing of offices who have HSA responsibility and an outline of their areas of concern.
COMMENTS: The FLS should be issued to provide updated and/or revised information regarding the observed stage or forecast crest. FLSs should be prepared and disseminated at periodic intervals until the river of concern has dropped below flood stage. A FLS should not be used to extend or change the area of a flood warning. A new FLW should be used for this purpose.

Was the the Republican savior's visit to the den of Democratic machine politics a shrewd political move? A touching nod toward education reform? Or a sign that we're in for more old boy network politics as usual? Whatever your take, it made for some serious political theater for a guy who is bound to provide quite a bit more over the next four years.

Usually stands for an event which involves "battle of the classes". Taken place during high school events. battle between classes of the freshmen, sophomore, junior, and seniors. Each class devises about a 20 minute skit which tie together with an overall theme. schoos judges evaluate each skit and determine the winner, winning spirit points for that class. What makes fantastics unique is that students from each class have to gather classmates, write a skit, choreograph dances, make costumes... etc basically devise a mini show.

Touchby Elmore Leonard
A Michigan woman was blind and now she can see, after being touched by a young man who calls himself Juvenal. Maybe it was just coincidence, but Bill Hill -- who used to run the spectacular Uni-Faith Ministry in Dalton, Georgia, and now sells RVs -- can see dollar signs when he looks at this kid with the magic "touch." The trouble is that others see them also, including a wacko fundamentalist fascist with his own private army of the faithful and an assortment of media leeches. But everyone who's looking to put the touch on the healer is in for a big surprise -- because Juvenal's got a trick or two up his sleeve that nobody sees coming.
Trail of the Apache and Other Storiesby Elmore Leonard
Destiny, restlessness, and greed moved the white man west, into lands occupied for centuries by a proud and noble people: Arapahoe, Navajo, Apache, Sioux. The bitter misunderstandings and brutal clashes of cultures that resulted ultimately shaped the nation we know today. In seven classic western tales, the New York Times-bestselling Grand Master re-creates a world of violence, deception, vengeance, and strange beauty with the same peerless storytelling power that distinguishes his acclaimed suspense fiction.
Unknown Man #89by Elmore Leonard
Detroit process server Jack Ryan has a reputation for being the best in the business at finding people who don't want to be found. Now he's looking for a missing stockholder known only as "Unknown Man No. 89." But his missing man isn't "unknown" to everyone: a pretty blonde hates his guts and a very nasty dude named Royal wants him dead in the worst way. Which is very unfortunate for Jack Ryan, who is suddenly caught in the crossfire of a lethal triple-cross and as much a target as his nameless prey.
Up in Honey's Roomby Elmore Leonard
The odd thing about Walter Schoen, German born but now running a butcher shop in Detroit, he's a dead ringer for Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS and the Gestapo. They even share the same birthday. Honey Deal, Walter's American wife, doesn't know that Walter is a member of a spy ring that sends U.S. war production data to Germany and gives shelter to escaped German prisoners of war. But she's tired of telling him jokes he doesn't understand-it's time to get a divorce. Along comes Carl Webster, the hot kid of the Marshals Service. He's looking for Jurgen Schrenk, a former Afrika Korps officer who escaped from a POW camp in Oklahoma. Carl's pretty sure Walter's involved with keeping Schrenk hidden, so Carl gets to know Honey, hoping she'll take him to Walter. Carl then meets Vera Mezwa, the nifty Ukrainian head of the spy ring who's better looking than Mata Hari, and her tricky lover Bohdan with the Buster Brown haircut and a sly way of killing. Honey's a free spirit; she likes the hot kid marshal and doesn't much care that he's married. But all Carl wants is to get Jurgen Schrenk without getting shot. And then there's Otto-the Waffen-SS major who runs away with a nice Jewish girl. It's Elmore Leonard's world-gritty, funny, and full of surprises.
Valdez Is Comingby Elmore Leonard
They laughed at Roberto Valdez and then ignored him. But when a dark-skinned man was holed up in a shack with a gun, they sent the part-time town constable to deal with the problem -- and made sure he had no choice but to gun the fugitive down. Trouble was, Valdez killed an innocent man. And when he asked for justice -- and some money for the dead man's woman -- they beat Valdez and tied him to a cross. They were still laughing when Valdez came back. And then they began to die...

When the Women Come Out to Danceby Elmore Leonard
In his more than three dozen books, Elmore Leonard has captured the imagination of millions of readers as few writers can. A literary icon praised by The New York Times Book Review as "the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever," he has influenced many contemporary writers and is known for both the quality and the accessibility of his writing. In this collection of new and recently published short fiction, Leonard demonstrates the superb characterizations, dead-on dialogue, vivid atmosphere, and driving plotting that have made him a household name. And once more this master of crime illustrates that the line between the law and the lawbreakers is not as firm as we might think. Federal marshal Karen Sisco, from the bestselling novel Out of Sight, returns in "Karen Makes Out," once again inadvertently mixing pleasure with business. In "Fire in the Hole," Raylan Givens, last seen in Riding the Rap and Pronto, meets up with an old friend, but they're now on different sides of the law. In the title story, "When the Women Come Out to Dance," Mrs. Mahmood gets more than she bargains for when she conspires with her maid to end her unhappy marriage. In all nine stories -- each unique in their own right -- reluctant heroes and laid-back lowlifes struggle for power, survival, and their fifteen minutes of fame. Vivid, hilarious, and unfailingly human, these stories ring true with Elmore Leonard's signature deadpan social observations and diabolical eye for the foibles of the good guys and the bad.

The survey will be conducted under direct orders from Thaksin, who is living in self-imposed exile in London, he said.
"Thaksin wants to know specifically if villagers would support his comeback to carry out populist policies," he said.
Party deputy spokesman Jatuporn Phromphan said Veera would call a party meeting sometime this week, coinciding with the expiry of the two-week deadline for the Council for Democratic Reform (CDR) to hand over power to an interim government.
Jatuporn also stated that it was too early to speculate on Thaksin's future, saying that his party would first finalise its plans to adjust to the changing political landscape.
"At this juncture, I can say only that Thaksin has instructed every party member to try and keep the party intact," he said, claiming that his party still remained popular.
Jatuporn was confident about the Thai Rak Thai's survival even though its key opponent, the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), has attacked it for alleged corruption and called for graft probes into its financial backers.
"It is clear that the PAD is trying to sway the CDR to dismantle the party," he said.
Former Thai Rak Thai MP Theerachai Saenkaew said his Udon Thani constituents would still vote for Thaksin and his party at the next general election.
"Following the normalisation of the political situation, democratic rule should move forward in accordance with the voice of the people," Theerachai said.

As residents throughout southwestern Michigan assessed the damage Monday from a weekend of storms, Alisha Gray pointed to an unexpected visitor in her home.
A large limb from a maple tree was sticking through the roof and into the dining room of her home on Kalamazoo's north side. Another branch had fallen across a black Impala car in Gray's driveway.
"When I heard it, I thought it was a car that hit the house," Gray said of the sound that accompanied the falling tree limbs caused by Sunday afternoon's storm.
The lights in Gray's home, however, only flickered -- unlike in thousands of other households throughout Kalamazoo County that lost power. As of this morning, 4,700 Consumers Energy customers in Kalamazoo County were still without power, the company said.
Kalamazoo Mayor Bobby Hopewell was among those who lost power at his home. Hopewell said he was relying on friends to help him contend with life without electricity although this morning he said the power was back on.
Country Club hit hard
At the Kalamazoo Country Club, 50 trees were damaged in the storms, and at least 25 of them will have to come down as a result, said John Fulling, grounds superintendent.
"We had 15 or so that were down or sheared in half," Fulling said.
A highly visible, 100-year-old sugar maple tree was cut in half, he said.
"It's possibly the most important tree on the property," Fulling said. "It is a critical tree (because of its placement). It's a very old tree and very large."
Across the city, residents had stories to share about the storms that swept through during the weekend.
On Chevy Chase Road, Susan Chapman Norton said the storms that blew through on Friday afternoon caused significant damage.
"We lost a third of our trees on the street," Norton said.
City crews were out Monday chipping down the smaller limbs that were lying in her front yard and the street. The touchiest part of the ordeal was that some of the limbs were resting on power lines.
"All night, we had sparks flying off, like little star lights" Norton said. "And little sparks started falling onto the trees."
Cynthia Owens-White, Gray's sister who lives across the street, had just gotten home from shopping when Sunday's storm hit in the mid-afternoon.
"I was taking groceries inside the house when my nephew started screaming and pointing," Owens-White said. "All of a sudden, I heard a crack."
"The wind was so heavy," Owens-White said. "There was debris flying all over."
At Gray's home on Monday, a blue tarp covered the hole left in her roof.
Despite all of the chaos from a day earlier, Gray said she was counting her blessings that no one was hurt.
"It could have cut that house right in half," she said.
Life without electricity
In the Stuart neighborhood, Kim Wark was trying to cope without power.
Watching her three kids try to find something to do has kept Wark entertained.
"They have to be more creative in keeping themselves busy," she said. "They get so used to having the television and computer and video games."

I've been in a dilemma the past few days as to how to consolidate my computer stash. I currently have 1 I use daily and 3 I use partially that are more role-specific. I also have 3 systems that I don't use. A more definitive break down would be:
- Desktop, home brew, AthlonXP/WinXP, used daily
- Desktop, Dell PowerEdge 1400SC, Dual PIII/Fedora, used as backup server
- Laptop, Apple iBook, G3 PPC/OS X, used for cool linux things, mobile test web server, and just to be different
- Laptop, generic, P4/WinXP, used to console to Cisco hardware, test labs
- Laptop, Dell, P3/WinXP, unused
- Laptop, generic, unused
- Laptop, generic, unused
I was debating on listing the 3 unused laptops on eBay and possibly my iBook in hopes of turning them over for a nicer PowerBook G4 but I haven't decided yet. Maybe by midnight I'll resolve this issue into one of my 2006 resolutions.

BAY CITY, MI — In a short meeting this week, the Bay City Commission approved a bevy of purchases and agreements, including buying a new vehicle for the public safety director and retaining the James Clements Airport Manager for another three years.
There was little discussion about most items on the agenda at the meeting on Monday, May 20. Here are some highlights:
New Chevy
Using funds from the drug forfeiture account in the amount of $18,105, the City Commission approved the purchase of a 2014 Chevrolet Impala Limited Sedan that's to be used by Bay City Public Safety Director Michael J. Cecchini.
The new Impala will replace a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu that Cecchini currently drives. According to the public safety department, the Malibu's interior on the driver's side is too narrow and makes it difficult for Cecchini, while wearing law enforcement equipment, to enter and exit the vehicle. Additionally, the trunk opening is narrow and makes it difficult to store and remove firefighting turnout gear. The larger Imapala should correct those issues, Cecchini said.
The Malibu, which was purchased through the Motor Equipment Revolving Fund, will be used as a pool vehicle at City Hall.
Being that the Impala is being purchased with drug forfeiture money, it's required to only be used for law enforcement-related activity.
Ambulance, fire station agreement completed
An agreement to place a McLaren Bay Region ambulance at Bay city Fire Station No. 5 was initially signed in February, but officials at the hospital had issues regarding the language of the agreement when it came to liabilities.
Officials from the hospital believe the agreement says the city of Bay City absolves themselves of all general liabilities for all claims that may be filed. They recommended the city also carry general liability insurance for their building. But being that the city is insured through the Michigan Municiapl Risk Management Authority, it can't name McLaren as an addition insured on its policy. The revised agreement to further limit McLaren's liability.

- Year two: $30,000

To understand John Lydon you need to see a concert by PiL, aka Public Image Limited, the band he formed after the break-up of the Sex Pistols and has kept going intermittently ever since.
Whereas the Sex Pistols were a cultural phenomenon, PiL is an arena of pure creativity in which the transcending power of sound is key.
In recent years, Lydon has done everything from appearing in advertisements for Country Life butter to becoming a champion for ugly insects on the television series John Lydon's Megabugs. Watching PiL, you realise why he's taking the TV dollar: he does all

NEW MANCHESTER - Oak Glen coach Ian Whittington said he couldn't have scripted it any better.
The first-year coach saw his Golden Bears open a new stadium in style on Friday as they routed the visiting Wellsville Tigers, 45-0.
"It's such a great feeling," the 27-year-old said. "To finish off what was already a great night like this is just unbelievable. The kids played so hard and our defense pitched a shutout. It's just so nice to open this place up the way we did."

The Tigers (1-1) came into the game with a much smaller team - 53 Oak Glen players to 24 for Wellsville - and were simply worn down by the bigger Bears.
"We went in at halftime and told them we needed to make two adjustments," Wellsville coach Dave Skinner said. "On offense we needed to block, and on defense we needed to tackle. It was that simple. We really didn't do either one."
Oak Glen dominated the line of scrimmage to the tune of 499 rushing yards.
Junior quarterback Bub Haddox put up an encore to his opening game heroics - he had 151 rushing yards and two touchdowns against Edison in what was his first ever varsity game - with 145 yards on just nine carries (16.1 ypc) with four
"He's such an athletic quarterback," Whittington said of his charge. "He has that will to win and he drives for the extra yards."
Haddox was not alone, however.
Junior David Campbell added a one to his jersey No. 47 with 147 yards on 16 carries with one touchdown.
Senior Trey Smith also had a big night with 129 yards on 17 attempts with one touchdown.
All this without the No. 1 running back coming into the season in senior Tyler Steed who has missed the first two games due to injury.
"Trey makes great cuts and has great vision," Whittington said. "David just goes 100 miles per hour on every play. We've got a three-headed rushing attack now and when Tyler comes back, we'll have four."
It took Oak Glen just three offensive plays to find the end zone.
On 3rd-and-9, Haddox found a crease and was gone for a 77-yard touchdown to open the scoring with 8:16 left in the first quarter.
Haddox's second score came on Oak Glen's next possession on a 4th-and-goal from the three yard line.
An 11-yard scoring run by Smith with 9:06 left in the first half put the Bears up, 21-0.
The half's final score came by way of an 18-yard run by Haddox and left Oak Glen in complete control, 28-0, at the break.
"I didn't expect to completely dominate them," Whittington said. "I knew we would win the battle up front, but those guys just took the game over for us and that was it."
In the first half, Wellsville managed just four yards of offense. The Tigers rushed 10 times for minus-35 yards, while quarterback Jordan Sloan was 5-of-12 passing for 39 yards and an interception. On the other side, Oak Glen rushed 26 times in the first half for 306 yards to go along with 14 yards passing.
"When you're in a fight, you have to punch back," Skinner said. "We didn't. We kind of folded. Not all the guys, I'm not going to throw them all under the bus, but a good many of them. I don't really know the reason, but I'm going to figure it out.
"I think we're better than we showed. I don't think we're out of our league with them. They're a solid football team, but some of our guys have to learn how to respond to adversity. They've got to learn to fight back."
In the second half, it was more of the same.
Oak Glen scored on its fifth play from scrimmage in the third quarter when Haddox ran in from two yards out to put the Bears up, 35-0.
A 37-yard field goal by senior Josh Weltner made the score, 38-0, with 8:09 left to play in the third quarter.
The game's final score came on the first play of the final frame when Campbell found paydirt from three yards out.
After the game, Whittington was greeted by many family and friends giving their congratulations. He said the victory and the moment will be something he'll never forget.
"We've had so much support and tonight was kind of overwhelming," Whittington said. "I couldn't thank everyone enough for all they've done."
Next week, Wellsville will play at Lisbon - a team that won its only game of the year in 2011 against the Tigers - while Oak Glen will host Indian Creek which beat East Liverpool on Friday, 26-12.
"We're going to continue to work as hard as we have been," Whittington said. "We're not going to slack off now. We know we've got a very solid team coming in here in Creek next week."

Porter Gets Even Fringier
Just when you thought Janet "Vote for Obama and Go to Hell" Porter couldn't get any crazier, it turns out that she can and is, by throwing in with right-wing crackpot Philip Berg and his crusade to expose to America that Barack Obama is not eligible to be President of the United States:
There are critical issues that need to be resolved before the Electoral College makes the election official in mid-December. Faith2Action has placed a full page ad in next Monday's issue of The Washington Times National Weekly, a publication that is read by many of our nation's leaders, to address them.
The ad asks these three questions: (1) "Was Barack Obama born in Kenya?"; (2) "Is he really a citizen of Indonesia?"; and (3) "Does the Constitution still matter?" These questions point to various cases that have been filed before the U.S. Supreme Court and other Federal courts. The ad also lays out several alarming facts which question whether the Constitutional requirements for becoming President are satisfied by Senator Barack Obama.
"Attorney Philip Berg, multiple legal cases, and a growing number of American citizens are demanding answers to these critical questions," states Janet (Folger) Porter, the founder and president of Faith2Action. "The Constitution and our nation's future are too important to not fully investigate this."
"It's our hope that the American people will rise up and call for Congressional hearings and immediate court action to avoid a Constitutional crisis," added Porter. "If we are willing to ignore the Constitutional requirements for the highest office of the land, what else are we willing to forgo? That part about free speech? Freedom of the press? Freedom of religion?"
If you check out Berg's webpage Obama Crimes you can read the Writ of Certiorari [PDF] he's filed with the US Supreme Court in which the defendant is listed thusly:
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, a/k/a
BARACK HUSSEIN DUNHAM a/k/a/
BARACK HUSSEIN SOETORO a/k/a
BARRY OBAMA a/k/a
BARRY DUNHAM a/k/a
Just how professional is Berg's operation, you ask? Well, they are asking supporters to contact the Supreme Court Justices directly and ask them to hear the case:
As citizens, you can individually write letters to each of the Court Justices addressing your concerns with respect to Mr. Obama's fulfillment of the requirements to serve as the President of the United States laid out in Article II, Section I of The United States Constitution.
United States Supreme Court
1 First Street NE
Washington DC 20543
The Supreme Court Justices are as follows:
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts
Supreme Court Justice John Stevens
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia
Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy
Supreme Court Justice David Souter
Supreme Court Justice Thomas Clarence
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Ginsburg
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer
Supreme Court Justice Samual Alito
I don't know about you, but I suspect that asking supporters to write letters to Justices "Thomas Clarence" and "Samual" Alito is probably going to end up doing more harm than good to their ridiculous little effort.

Ray Charles
Country music stars are always sitting in on their pals' recording sessions; it's the Nashville equivalent of a barn raising or quilting bee. If the visits sometimes seem on the pro forma side, the practice in general is a congenial one and this is a particularly good-natured example of the genre. Charles sings with 13 different people on this album, counting the four Oak Ridge Boys, with largely happy results. The highlight is the title cut, the whimsical Cole Porter tune from his show Du Barry Was a Lady, which Charles spins off with Ricky Skaggs. Two Old Cats Like Us, with Hank Williams Jr., Crazy Old Soldier, with Johnny Cash, and Little Hotel Room, with Merle Haggard, also provide felicitous matchups for Charles' sly, gutty approach. The album's first single, Rock and Roll Shoes, with B.J. Thomas, seems a little on the lightweight side by comparison. Ray is in great voice and apparent good spirits, in any case. Nobody can ask for anything more entertaining than that. (Columbia)

Our "Potager" in Southwestern France
This summer of 2010 has been full of joyful gardening. We are not new to growing our own food and flowers, and we are still learning with each season, searching books and the internet for new information and answers to questions. We live in a country famous for great food and wine, France. Here in our life, the importance of delicious and healthy food is of great importance to everyone. At noon every day, the shops close, commerce takes a break, workers lay down their tools, tractors are left in the middle of the fields and traffic on the main roads thins down to a trickle. For two hours, families and friends relax around a table to enjoy conversation and a delicious meal of several courses.
Our market day is Saturday. Baskets brimming over with cheese, olives, freshly baked bread, fruit and vegetables, we stop at the café on the market square for a hot chocolate or coffee and to chat with friends. We are lucky to have beautiful homegrown vegetables from small producers all through the year. Planting a vegetable garden or potager as it is called in French, is not a necessity. However, one sees a beautifully tended potager in nearly every back yard.
This year my partner Mark and I decided to make a kitchen garden with our neighbors. I have had many gardens throughout my life but this was the first time I had shared a garden with friends. Without any real discussion we found that each one of us had some special garden chore they enjoyed the most, and without discussion each person gave that part of themselves that made them the happiest. There were moments during the season that I felt the plants were growing ecstatically. Did the joy of the gardeners influence the vegetables? Hmmm, I wonder. We made a small area next to the garden with lawn chairs and a table, and often someone would arrive with a cooler full of cold drinks and snacks. The garden became an area of relaxation and immense joy, friendship and the sharing of recipes and harvests. As the nights grew warmer, we pitched our tent just near the garden to sleep under the sky bright with stars.
This year, I found myself in a wheelchair for a short time. The garden is not close to the house but we could reach it by car. Mark would lift me down onto the path among the vegetables and there I would spend the morning, lost in the jungle of plants. I would scoot backwards very slowly brushing on tomatoes, mint, rosemary, thyme, parsley, basil and onions. The perfume from each plant lifted my spirits. The evident joy of this garden helped me to get through these difficult days. I would sit for as long as I wished, watching ladybugs or thinning carrots. Like this, I found the first signs of caterpillars marching in formation to attack the broccoli. Fortunately we were able to save the crop with a garlic spray. I have decided to always spend time in the garden either sitting or laying among the plants. Why have I always been too busy thinking about weeding and watering?
This year I felt deeply the importance of close contact between plants and people. I felt deeply how the garden not only nourishes our bodies but our spirits. I had time to meditate on the gifts of the garden, not only in the food that we harvest, not only in the beneficial physical aspects of gardening, but the relationship of the earth, the plants and the people involved. I have read about it, I have realized it before, talked to friends about it, but this year I felt it on a deep level.

Skip to comments.Democrats have edge, but presidency still in play (Michael Barone)
Posted on 11/21/2012 4:42:38 PM PST by neverdem
A funny thing happened as I was looking at the political map of this year's presidential election: It began to look like the map of the presidential election of 2004.
I'm not talking about the superficial similarity, the fact that in both elections an incumbent president beat a challenger from Massachusetts by a 51 to 48 percent popular vote margin.
I'm talking about the fact that the large majority of states voted just a little bit more Democratic in 2012 than they did in 2004.
Enough to give 2012 nominee Barack Obama 332 electoral votes, far more than 2004 nominee John Kerry's 252. But not enough to change the political balance of the nation or the various regions very much.
At current count -- the numbers may change a bit as California and a few other states waddle in with late tabulations -- Barack Obama's 50.73 percent of the popular vote exceeds John Kerry's 48.26 percent by 2.47 percentage points. (Eerily, George W. Bush's final percentage was 50.73 percent).
Using rounded-off whole percentages, Obama ran 1 or 2 points ahead of Kerry in nine states and the District of Columbia with 81 electoral votes. They include target states New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, which Kerry won, and Ohio, which he lost.
Obama ran 3 or 4 points ahead of Kerry in more states, 20. These states have 243 electoral votes. They include 2012 target states Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada and Wisconsin.
George W. Bush carried all of those target states in 2004 except Wisconsin, which he lost by 11,384 votes. Clearly, Hispanic voters, and the differences between Bush and Mitt Romney on immigration and in attitude, helped move Colorado, Nevada and, by a very narrow margin, Florida from the Republican column in 2004 to the Democratic column in 2012.
But Obama's winning percentages in these three states -- 50 percent in Florida, 51 percent in Colorado and 52 percent in Nevada -- don't suggest that Republicans will never be competitive there again.
As for Iowa and Wisconsin, they were both exceedingly close in both 2000 and 2004, both were solid for Obama in 2008, and this time they gave him 52 and 53 percent of their votes.
What about the other 21 states? Some produced big increases for Obama over Kerry -- 17 points in the president's birth state of Hawaii, 8 points in increasingly liberal Vermont.
Obama also improved on Kerry's percentage by 6 points in Maryland and Virginia, the two states most positively affected by increases in federal spending. His percentage went up only 2 points in the District of Columbia because it's hard to improve much on Kerry's 89 percent there.
The Democratic percentage also went up 5 points in California, where high taxes are driving out middle-income families, and in North Carolina, which the Obama campaign shrewdly targeted in 2008. Obama carried it by 1 point then and lost by only 2 points this time.
The Republican percentage increased by 8 points in coal-country West Virginia and in the now Clintonless Arkansas. It also increased in other states with the warlike Jacksonian tradition -- Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Louisiana and Oklahoma.
Obama ran 1 point lower than Kerry in the latter's Massachusetts and in Utah and Wyoming. His percentage was almost exactly the same as Kerry's in Arizona, evidence that its increasing Hispanic population is not tipping the state Democratic.
I draw two conclusions from these figures, one with some certainty and one tentatively.
One is that Democrats have a structural advantage in the Electoral College. An extra 2.46 points of the popular vote netted Obama 80 more electoral votes than Kerry. Obama won 58 percent or more in 11 states and D.C. with 163 electoral votes. He needed only 107 more to win.
In 2004, the 16 states Bush won with 58 percent or more had only 130 electoral votes. He needed 140 more to win and barely got them.
My tentative conclusion is that we may be back to the nearly even balance between the parties we saw between 1995 and 2005. Since then, we've been in a period of open-field politics, with big swings to the Democrats in 2006 and 2008 and a big swing to the Republicans in 2010.
Both sides hoped those swings would prove permanent. 2012 suggests both sides were disappointed. It looks like we're back to trench warfare politics at the national level.
Michael Barone,The Examiner's senior political analyst, can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com. His column appears Wednesday and Sunday, and his stories and blog posts appear at washingtonexaminer.com.
Nope. Once Obama makes citizens out of twenty or even ten million illegal aliens, they will turn most of the swing states solidly blue in 2016 and beyond. Barring a catastrophic economic collapse or foreign policy debacle, 2016 won't be nearly as close as 2012 was.
i don't think this guy knows what he is talking about so why read or believe anything from him
The problem with Barone's analysis is that Obama has been a terrible president and the economy under Obama has been horrible.
If the Democrats can win with this margin with such lousy economic conditions, then if the economic conditions had been better they would have won with much bigger margins.
This means the Democrats are in a much stronger position than in the 1995-2005 period, and the country is not evenly balanced between the two parties.
Barone's analysis gives hope to those who think if Republicans just do a little bit better political wizardry they will be back in power.
Wrong. The problem is more fundamental, and the battle must be waged at a cultural level in the schools and in media and entertainment.
Slice it, dice it, cut it any way you want. The real issue is that concentrated metro areas often carry whole states, relegating the hinterlands to a 'lesser' status.
The solution is more states, or more countries.
A secondary issue is that the Congress hasn't added to it's headcount for over 80 years. We've been locked at 435 representatives (except of a couple of years) since early in the last century. That number should be nearly 5000 if we were to pay heed to the founders notion of the population numbers a congress-critter should represent.
More state and more electoral votes would do a lot to level the playing field, and bring some sanity back to the whole (currently) sordid process.
Barone misses something huge year. Based on the economy, 2012 was a wave year for Republicans. They lost their own wave election. Badly. If Republicans can'r win with the wind at their back, they are in serious trouble. I agree, if the economy was good, this result wouldn't be a big deal.
Get a clue, Barone. We're toast. There will be no more fair federal elections; the fix is in.
Sorry, I still don't buy all of the negative talk.
Romney ran a good campaign right up until the end of the first debate. If the election had been a few days after that debate, it would have been a Romney blowout.
But instead Romney chose to sit on his lead and coast to victory. I've listed 10 things that went wrong for him (starting with a TOTALLY BOTCHED get out the vote effort) and he still managed to keep the election reasonably close.
Yes, Demographics are trending against us...but that is slow, and this country is far from lost - be we need a candidate that isn't afraid to campaign hard to the very end - rather than trying to pull in that non-existent independent. I have one of those "independents" at work. She owns a gun...she's married - to a guy...she is far from a flaming liberal. But she saw one commercial that said that Ryan supports no exceptions to banning abortion, and that was it - Obama got her vote...and, at the same time, 5 Evangelicals sat home (because of Romney at the top of the ticket) and didn't vote.
When the Senate can stay in the control of a guy who despises the United States only slightly less than he loves his own navel, the Senate is no longer in play. Again, sorry, things are what they are.
In the next four years we will certainly get a Supreme Court with an utterly illiterate majority, so the trifecta will be complete. If Boehner has even one testicle, he will make sure we go off the fiscal cliff. Then the liberals who want the United States to collapse can get what they want.
I doubt the microscope exists that can find a Boehner testicle. So, we will only collapse when we get to the hyperinflation that obama wants.
The question is: Will all the eunuchs and female children who wanted obama then be happy? Ecstatic will likely be the story.
Fighting reality is a prescription for boundless sorrow.
The Marxists have a much better Organization both in Breadth and Depth. Literally thousands of organizations from very small neighborhood types to massive nationwide ones, ie SEIU etc.Tens of thousands of volunteers are ready to hit the phones and ring the doorbells and they are increasing the numbers daily in the colleges, universities and yes, even the high schools. This isn't a game of potsy and the Pubbies had better learn it damn fast or they are history.
I have dug into the trench and the GOP is AWOL.
I have been thinking about this for some time, and I think you are right - I don't think it is the whole answer (primary process rigged toward liberal states as another instance), but it is a fairly true statement.
However, your solution is not necessarily the only one: The electoral college is established in order to give lesser states some equality during elections at the federal level... What if the same were done within a state, at the county level... the same basic idea would apply. The winner of the state-wide electoral college would be awarded the electoral votes at the federal level... More populous counties would still have a lot of swing, but limited so that lesser counties still matter.
I agree with you and have been saying essentially the same thing. Having said that overcoming structural impediments in educational brainwashing & MSM indoctrination is a long term proposition at best and may be lost. In meantime we have no choice but continue trench warfare albeit with better candidates.
Conservatives themselves split the vote in the primaries and allowed Romney to get in. Conservatives must unite around a candidate and accept that reality. Of course we need a strong candidate to rally around. We desperately need a strong Reaganesque candidate for 2016. However next up is House in 2014 where we need pick up seats and replace Boehner.
I once gave states allocating proportional electoral votes by congressional district short shrift. Now I think it is the only way to fight big city corruption and 120% voting tallies.
If you look at the red blue map of this country, red lands far exceed the blue coastal areas and major cities. We can never win all of California's electoral votes, but we can take a chunk under a proportional system.
We have 30 GOP governors. They should be looking at an electoral college proportional voting system to fight against demorat vote stealing.
With a proportional system Philadelphia can vote 200% of their registered voters; they will only win Philadelphia.
I would like Barone to do a study. I'm sure we can take more electoral votes from them in such a system than they can take from us.
One is that Democrats have a structural advantage in the Electoral College. An extra 2.46 points of the popular vote netted Obama 80 more electoral votes than Kerry. Obama won 58 percent or more in 11 states and D.C. with 163 electoral votes. He needed only 107 more to win.
In 2004, the 16 states Bush won with 58 percent or more had only 130 electoral votes. He needed 140 more to win and barely got them.
I call on the PA and MI GOP state governments to wake up and divide electoral votes by congressional district (PA considered this before this election). There is no reason for them not to do it. This would have netted us at least 15 or so E votes.
"In play" like an NCAA football game is when Northern Illinois takes the field against Nebraska.
Seriously..no, Michael ... the White House isn`t "in play" for the GOP anymore. However, Republicans still need to fundraise and go through the motions of a nomination, because down-ticket candidates who have a chance to win could benefit from their efforts.
FWIW, The suburban vote is almost half of the electorate, and rural voters are about 20 %.
The simple truth is that a Mormon can never win the presidency.
a strong conservative would have easily unseated O,
Michael Barone?
Didn't he used to be somebody before he fell to earth?
Another GOPe trying some math for the next fake presidential election. Don't be a sucker.
That number should be nearly 5000
Good God that is all we need. That financial expense alone makes it not possible.
I disagree.
Sure Obama is a big problem we can see that.
But there are plenty of big problems on our side also. That is the bigger problem.
How many Republicans support outsourcing and sending jobs overseas?
Now how many can be BLAMED for this economy. Leaving Obama in office.
That is my point. Sure Obama is the problem, but the GOP is likewise the problem so Obama does not get the blame he deserves.
Bring back US jobs now. LOTS of US jobs. Get aggressive and launch trade wars if necessary, but do it now.
Once we are fighting for US jobs, then when US jobs are not found, we cannot be blamed - and we get elected.
Until we stop outsourcing everything, we are the bigger problem and will continue to be (rightly) blamed for the problem and remain on the outside looking in.
I do not like being outside looking in.
I prefer to be in charge.
How about it GOP? Fight for jobs.
US Jobs.

Agree. I think this makes 2 elections in a row that red counties outnumbered blue, but blue won.
Libtards are never happy. Even when they had super majorities in both houses of congress from 2009-2011, they weren't happy. Remember?
Even when the GOP was locked out of all negotiations on ObamaCare, they weren't happy. Even in states like New York, Illinois, Massachusetts and Maryland, where they have super majorities, they still are unhappy.
Proportional allocation is my preference. I'm tired of having my vote drowned by the hive cities and WTA allocation.
It's simple, it's constitutional and it's morally correct.
Furthermore, it should be fairly easy to get through R controlled state legislatures with R Governorships.
The fact that this doesn't even seem to be on the GOPe's radar indicates why they are the stupid party.
Trade wars lead to real wars. Not a good plan.
They need to quit eliminating conservatives.
"I have one of those independents at work. She owns a gun...shes married - to a guy...she is far from a flaming liberal. But she saw one commercial that said that Ryan supports no exceptions to banning abortion, and that was it - Obama got her vote.."
She's a "ladyparts voter" (new term which I take credit for coining).
Obama won them to the tune of 68% and the Pubbies are going to have a VERY hard time ever winning their votes in the future.
They're going to be amongst the toughest nuts to crack...
Stimulus money to unions = 4 years worth of "walking around" money. Question is, stimulus was allocated when (D)'s held the House. Does that gravy train from 2008 -2009 finally dry up between now and 2014 or 2016?
Yep. Then he blew the election as bad as any shavetail fortune-teller. He has a lot of ground to make up before he enjoys the credibility he once had. This effort here won't move the ball very far.
Barone was pretty confident Romney would win. I guess he was using the old models of Democrat cheating. The new model features enhanced ballot stuffing and ballot destruction.
I also think this is a good solution to the problem.
Republicans did nothing absolutely NOTHING about illegal aliens voting in 2012.. 2016 will be worse.. the only fact missing is illegal aliens voting in 2008..
Republicans (at the Top) have been complicit in aliens voting by DOING LITTLE OR NOTHING.. since Reagan..
ALL republicans need a re-think on THEIR OWN complicitcy..
Illegals have been voting for decades.. and felons as well.. even the dead..
Nothing to brag about "being a republican"..
The Nasty GOP? For some conservatives, the labels nasty and mean are well earned.

Romney didnt sit on his lead, he was still building it when crowley snatched it away from him in the 2nd debate. Remember? When she backed up the obama lie about benghazi? And then the next day admitted that Romney had been right? Romneys momentum was broken by that debate, and that LIE! Had she not backed up obamas lie, Romney would have been pronounced the blowout winner of the 2nd debate, just like the first debate, and obama would have never stopped his momentum.
Ever wonder how obama KNEW that crowley would have that misleading transcript? They had it PLANNED! Had to!
The only way to get back to sanity is to go back to requiring that one has to have something tangible to offer to society in order to vote. If you're on the dole - no vote / if you pay net 0 in taxes (or get a refund even though you paid no taxes) - no vote / if you don't speak English - no vote / if you came into the country illegally and then became a citizen - no vote for 10 years after becoming a citizen and you have to renounce your former country / I would get into thoughts on the disaster that Women's Suffrage caused on our electoral system, but I love my wife...

Not holding your breath for that one, I trust.
I'm sorry to sound so bitter, as I know I have on FR ever since November 7, but I just feel so discouraged now. The Soros Administration now has it hooks into so many things. These people are evil, but they are brilliant and have studied and plotted their way into mounting the country's takedown. How many executive orders will we see, in the coming years, that just go right around Congressional authority?
"Romney didnt sit on his lead, he was still building it when crowley snatched it away..."
You won't catch me defending that beast, but even so, Ryan was effectively muzzled and Romney was running a REPUBLICAN campaign from MA...which then showed up with his get out the vote implosion.
"Shes a ladyparts voter (new term which I take credit for coining)."
And she actually mentioned a ladypart in explaining her decision - and I'll leave it at that.
No, I'm not holding my breath for anything. I have been as sick as you since Nov 7th. I have watched zilch TV news - nada. I even turn down the radio on the hour and half hour.
I wish I could be Felix Baumgartner, but I wouldn't jump. I'd just stay in my balloon capsule up there happy as a clam that I jumped off the earth.
Right now I feel like a guy denied parole and have to wait out another 4 year sentence. I was so counting on that Nov 7th parole. I was beginning to taste freedom again, and the door has been slammed shut.
They are pure evil, and the republican party refuses to shovel the crap right back at them. And the idiot voters are more empowered by the word FAIR instead of the word FREE.
Maybe we should move to Singapore. It's just been declared the least emotional city on earth.
Amen to all that you say. Except moving to Singapore. They have stolen my country, but I refuse to be evicted.
So glad I have my faith in God to sustain me.
A blessed Thanksgiving to you.
"...and the country is not evenly balanced between the two parties."
You're right. That explains the conservatives and patriots controlling 30 states, up from 25 in 2010.
I agree with that statement....about the "volunteers"....but the rest of the "volunteers" are MOSTLY UNION people and students (another form of a union for the demothugs). In the city where I live (a MAJOR SEIU city) we have very FEW DEM Precinct people....it's the UNIONS doing all the vote buying...and then there is the fraud...
YES...to everything you said...although I fear we've LOST the cultural war, and that the only thing that will help us regain our grownd is all out civil war...I pray I am wrong.
YOU have said it so well....exactly as I feel. Especially the last 2 sentences!!!
Can people stop with this "Reaganesque" pining? Ronald Reagan was a unique historical figure that will never be repeated. Even if it were to be repeated, it won't happen in time for 2016. The Reagan phenomenon had a long lead time and there's nobody in the GOP politics that fits the bill.
Reagan had unique personal qualities like charm and a quick wit that virtually nobody in GOP politics possesses. He also had firm values and beliefs in the American system that nobody in the GOP establishment possesses. The GOPe didn't have them when Reagan ran for office and they don't have them now. If you can find someone who was in the entertainment/sports field who has a long career in political activism culminating in two terms as governor of a large state who will run against incumbent President of a deeply divided party during a severe economic downturn then okay maybe. But don't expect someone like that come along just because you want them to.

With the approaching launch of two exciting new clinical trials, there's a feeling of optimism in the air.
When I chose to call myself a "Master Caregiver" on my blog, which is about my confessions related to my journey as a caregiver to my mom who had Alzheimer's, I was the farthest from being a master of any type of caregiving, no less Alzheimer's caregiving.
But in choosing to put words into the universe I went with the word "master," since it is a full-on power title, and also because it's a play on words inspired by actress Sandra Bullock's sister Gessine's blog "Confections of a Master Baker."
As a caregiver for my wife, diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in 2009 at the age of 63, here's my brief "wish list" for a national Alzheimer's agenda.
Funding changes:

The one constant about life is that it is always changing. This dynamic is particularly acute around the holidays. USAgainstAlzheimer's recently asked some of our supporters, who are on the front lines and live this disease every day, for advice on how to tackle this challenging time and create new memories. Here's what they told us:

Even with advanced dementia, my mother could feel moments of joy. I will always feel grateful that we gathered to celebrate her life not after she passed away, but while she was alive and could enjoy being the center of attention.
My mother, Judy, told me years ago that when she passed away she wanted me to cremate her and to hold a "life celebration," not a funeral—a party with family and friends. She pictured us at her lakeside home, reminiscing and laughing. We would spread her ashes on the waves, then talk and eat.
Some of the most watched TV programs each year are NFL games and such large audiences give the NFL a tremendous opportunity to use its broadcasts for public service. To their credit, since 2009 the NFL has used October broadcasts to support breast cancer awareness and help raise money for research. Football players show their support by wearing pink on their uniforms and using pink equipment. Having lost my mother to cancer, and with relatives currently dealing with cancer, I applaud this NFL leadership role and enjoy seeing lots of pink on my TV screen this month.
Here is something that doesn't stop when the government closes down: Alzheimer's.
Editor's note: This piece originally appeared on Huffington Post 50.
As a determined woman, activist, mother and writer, I've learned to stay humble (kids help you be that), work hard and to never take "no" for an answer.
It's been 26 years since my mom was first diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. This was the first time in my life that I had to accept "no, there is no cure" as the only answer available.
