Republicans are criticizing President Barack Obama's plan to make a personal pitch overseas for Chicago's 2016 Olympic bid.
RNC Chairman Michael Steele called the president's upcoming trip to Denmark "a noble idea," but "not necessary" at a time of war and recession.
The White House quickly fired back at Steele.
"Who's he rooting for?" Press Secretary Robert Gibbs asked. "Is he hoping to hop a plane to Brazil and catch the Olympics in Rio? I don't know, maybe it's Madrid."
Chicago is in the running with Madrid, Tokyo and Tio de Janeiro to host the 2016 summer games.
The International Olympic Committee is scheduled to announce its decision Friday.
Obama will be the first U.S. president to make an in-person appeal to the IOC.
Two weeks ago he said he would not be going because he needed to focus on health care reform.

Japan's No. 1 carrier, NTT DoCoMo (NYSE: DCM ) , just reported a monthly subscriber loss of nearly 67,000. This comes during the month when NTT DoCoMo finally became an official Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) iPhone carrier, which should have helped it stem its ongoing customer losses to smaller rivals KDDI and SoftBank. NTT DoCoMo attributed the problem to inventory issues, since it was unable to fully meet demand.
That storyline is peculiar, since the same iPhone model is compatible with all Japanese networks, which suggests that perhaps Apple didn't allocate supply adequately. Ultimately, Apple suffers only if there is unmet demand, since it has less interest in which specific carrier is chosen.
Hopefully, Apple doesn't do likewise when it inevitably adds China Mobile (NYSE: CHL ) as an official carrier partner, which could happen as soon as next month. Technical hurdles have historically held back a partnership with China Mobile and Apple, but that is no longer a concern.
In this segment of Tech Teardown, Erin Kennedy discusses NTT DoCoMo's woes with Jamal Carnette and Evan Niu, CFA.

The high winds created power outages for more than 2,300 residents in the county -- more than 77,000 statewide -- and led to downed trees and power lines across the area.
Crews are working on restoring power to the remaining outages, according to a Consumers Energy news release, with full restoration expected by the end of Monday.
Snowy and slick roads also led to around two dozen vehicle accidents Monday morning, but no accidents are currently being reported on the Genesee County 911 page.
Monday's forecast calls for a high of 17 degrees and low overnight of 3 degrees, and winds at 12 miles per hour making it feel like -11 to -16 degrees.

But only in the Movies!
Still a neat building with some good history for the area. Not sure about the legend that I have been told.
Correct Gene! The bank was only robbed in the movies. The bank on the northeast corner where the new city hall is was the one actually robbed but not by Bonnie and Clyde. The robbers cut the telegraph lines coming in and going out of town, took the security gaurd hostage, went to the bank presidents house and got him and his wife and went back to the bank with all three to open the vault, took the $, left them all tied up, and were never caught.

Doug Anderson Wows Crowd As He Throws Down A 360 Through-The-Legs Dunk [Video]
Chances are, unless you follow University of Detroit basketball, you've never heard of Doug Anderson. However, if you watched the 2013 College Dunk Contest last weekend, you'll never forget him.
Nowadays, it's difficult to pull off a dunk that impresses the American sports fan. Between YouTube, old dunk contests, and years of "highlight dunks" on TV, we feel like we've seen it all. Props to Anderson for impressing us with this sick dunk.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE IF WE CAN GET THIS STRAIGHT: IN 1991, Jeremy London won the role of Nathaniel Bedford, eldest child of Forrest Bedford (Sam Waterston) on the NBC series I'll Fly Away, after his twin brother, Jason, turned down the part because he was already committed to another show. Two years and a controversial cancellation of the series later, Jason will pick up the role of Nathaniel in the two-hour PBS finale of I'll Fly Away (Oct. 11) because Jeremy is otherwise engaged playing Sonny Snow in CBS's florid new prime-time drama Angel Falls.
Phew! If viewers are shaking their heads over this sort of Doublemint double-dealing, so are the London twins, now 20 and two of the hotter properties in Hollywood. "I can't wait lo see Jason working with all the people I've worked with these last two years," says Jeremy. Says Jason: "It'll be the same character, but I did my own thing with it."
The Londons have been using this team strategy since, well, birth. "We were womb males," says Jason. "It's the ultimate codependent relationship." Says Jeremy: "We don't have lo talk to each other every day. We feel each other." Recalling their first serious time apart—when Jeremy was on location in Atlanta with I'll Fly Away and Jason was working in L.A.—Jason says, "For him lo be so faraway definitely affected inc. fiver) lime I picked up the phone, he was about lo call."
And the Londons' time has come. Jeremy won kudos aplenty for his rendition of the sensitive teenager in I'll Fly Away, while Jason has earned strong reviews for his role as a restless '70s teen in Dazed and Confused. "It's the story of my high school," he says, "sans the bell-bottoms and drugs."
Indeed, it was only a few years ago that the London boys were kicking around in De Soto, Tex., and living in a trailer with their mother, Debbie, now 40, her third husband, Roger Coffey, their younger sister, Dedra, and two of Coffey's children. (Roger and Debbie are now divorced.) Debbie had brought up her children on her father's 6,000-acre ranch near Canadian, Tex., after she and the; boys' father, Frank London, divorced in 1977. But in her constant search for better circumstances, she moved the family six times in 13 years. "I always told them," says Debbie, "we don't have the word 'can't' in our vocabulary."
One day in the restaurant where Debbie worked, just four years ago, she met an actress Who said she would put the twins, who had appeared in nothing more than a few high school plays, in touch with her agent in Dallas. Within two years the boys had a half-dozen film and TV credits between them. "Before that," says Jeremy, "we were doomed to redneckhood." It was Jason who got the first major break. When the twins' agent called about a part in the film Man in the Moon, Jeremy had to persuade Jason to drive him to the tryout. "It was my audition," Jeremy recalls, "but he got the part. I didn't mind. I knew I'd be out there shortly."
So he was. Now the Londons still share a home with pool, in the Los Feliz neighborhood of L.A. They return to the Southwest several times a year to visit their mother and their father, frank. 10, a sheet-metal worker who lives with his second wife, Melody, and their two children in Tuttle, Okla. Tragically, Dedra, 16, already married and a mother, was killed in a car crash last year. "There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of her," Jeremy says.
As far as the London twins are concerned, they are out of those dusty cattle towns lo stay. Says Jeremy: "I don't want to bust my butt for the rest of my life, like my parents." Adds Jason, ruefully remembering the hard times: "We can get low, but we can't get any lower than where we've been."

Hollywood is giving a nod to parenthood with the debut of Jennifer Aniston's romantic comedy "The Switch" and Emma Thompson's "Nanny McPhee Returns," in theaters this weekend.
"Though her methods are beyond any parent's natural abilities, Nanny McPhee serves as a point of inspiration for families as she teaches her charges discipline, respect, tidiness, and manners," Plugged-In film critic Meredith Whitmore wrote.
Regarding "The Switch," film critic Paul Asay wrote that despite "significant problems," the film touches on "just how important and how needed fathers are."

Cotton Catchment Communities CRC – Research Outcomes & Innovation (Part 1)
Crop & Pasture Science Special Issue Volume 64, Number 8
118 pages
CSIRO Publishing
The triumvirate of cotton-based Cooperative Research Centres (CRCs) concluded with the finalisation of the Cotton Catchment Communities CRC (Cotton CRC) in June 2012. Eighteen years of significant investment and collaboration have produced an array of valuable outcomes. Importantly, the dividends from this research and development journey will continue for many years to come for the industry and for the catchments and communities in which it operates.
The CRC had five key programs: The Farm, The Catchment, The Community, The Product and The Adoption. There were a number of factors influencing the work to be done in each of these programs:
It is well known there is a time lag between undertaking research and its publication. The Special Editions (Parts 1 & 2) of Crop and Pasture Science are a final strategy to record and capture some of the collaborative research undertaken by the Cotton CRC research teams. It is by no means a comprehensive capture of all activities, rather a legacy of some specific activities that build upon other work that has already been published and disseminated. Part 2 of this Special Edition will be published in a forthcoming issue of Crop and Pasture Science and will include a second set of 12 papers.
This special issue of the Journal will be of particular interest to research scientists, resource managers, consultants, as well as farmers, and is essential reading for anyone interested in cotton management and the transgenic technologies.

Gay rights advocates in Washington state are kicking off a campaign, Thursday, to make it the seventh state to recognize gay marriage. A group of organizations called Washington United for Marriage will hold a series of town hall events in coming weeks.
The goal of the Seattle-based coalition is to rally support for a big push in the legislature to legalize gay marriage in 2012.
In 2009, Washington lawmakers passed a civil unions bill expanding the rights of same-sex couples.

Bellwood-Antis' Emiley Stapleton will compete in both cross country and track and field at Lock Haven next year, but don't expect her to be overwhelmed. In fact, Stapleton might have more free time than usual.
"She'll do a good job in cross country," Bellwood-Antis girls cross country and girls track and field coach Julie Roseborough said. "I think in track she'll need to find out what events are best for her and concentrate on them. They'll have her settle in on more specific events and concentrate on them, and that will help.
"At Bellwood, she's done whatever the team needed her to do to help the team and competed in a ton of events. In college she'll be able to settle in and improve certain events."
Stapleton said her track schedule will be condensed at Lock Haven - likely limited to the 800 run and the 1,600-meter relay. Stapleton, a four-time Mirror all-star in cross country, has already signed and will begin competition in the fall.
"I like cross country better," Stapleton said. "But in college I'll be doing just my main events so I'm excited for both.
"The coach at Lock Haven said he'd give me a specific workout for my events, and going to college and competing in specific events will help me improve."
Lock Haven cross country and track and field coach Aaron Russell is looking forward to adding Stapleton.
"Emiley has a passion for her running and lot of energy, which made her personality a great draw for us and our team," Russell said. "I feel she has a lot of potential that we can help her develop."
Stapleton is coming off a ninth-place finish at the District 6 Class AA girls cross country meet this season - her best finish during her four-year career. She was 32nd while battling a sickness her junior year, 16th as a sophomore and 20th as a freshman.
"She's just been a very reliable performer for the past four years," Roseborough said. "We could always count on her as far as having a good performance to help the team."
Stapleton was also contacted by coaches at Misericordia University, but she decided to go to Lock Haven because it is close to home, had her major (education) and Lock Haven offered financial assistance.
"The way the coaches have been talking to me, I'll be competing in both cross country and track events right away," Stapleton said.

In a front page Ravalli Republic article (20dec12), Darby District Ranger, Chuck Oliver, was quoted as reporting that about six trappers had set 20 or more traps in the area groomed by the Como Trails Club. He went on to say, "They can leg
ally place their traps adjacent to the trail on those particular portions of the groomed trail."
Erica Strayer, Bitterroot National Forest recreation technician, said the agency recommended skiers keep their dogs on a leash because of the trapping potential even though that was not legally required and had not been necessary for skiers during the previous 4 years that the area had been groomed for skiing.
Once again the Forest Service along with Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks found themselves in the middle of a controversy that had the potential to direct public wrath toward both organizations. This certainly wasn't the first time controversy visited these two agencies. A look at news coverage and the public's response to their actions and directives over a period as short as the most recent 12 months provides quick verification.
It is unfortunate that, like most bureaucracies that have been in existence for any length of time, the US Forest Service and Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks are fossilized agencies that have institutionalized the rewarding of mediocrity and the punishment of innovative thinking. That statement is not an indictment of those who work the frontlines for either agency, people who live in our communities and perform the on-the-ground work necessary to care for public lands held in trust for all citizens. Rather it is a fact-based assessment of government agencies that have become top-heavy with managers and, in the case of the Forest Service, an organization that strips far more than half of the money allocated annually by Congress—in excess of $5 billion—for administration, leaving far too little for employees of local Forest Service Districts to complete the jobs they are sworn to perform.
Fortunately for residents of and visitors to the Bitterroot Valley, the current Forest Supervisor of the Bitterroot National Forest, Julie King, made a bold move by bucking the culture of the Agency and, using common sense and civil discourse with the interested parties, reached a solution to the conflict between skiers and trappers in less than 48 hours. Her decision to sign an order which requires trappers to follow specific setback regulations may be temporary, but it gives everyone breathing space while a more permanent solution can be found.
It is likely that many factors went into her decision, possibly including the facts that non-extractive outdoor recreation pumps many times more dollars into the Montana economy than the miniscule amount derived from the trapping of fur bearers and trophy animals.
Aside from nearby National Parks, the Lake Como Recreation Area is one of the most heavily used places in the state for year-round outdoor non-extractive recreation—swimming, hiking, boating, skiing, fishing, horseback riding, backpacking, bicycle riding, bird watching, and animal viewing. Each year these activities attract visitors by the thousands to the Bitterroot National Forest and Ravalli County. While many of those visiting are local residents, but many more are from other areas, out of state or even outside the country. Every one of those people invests money in our local economy by purchasing goods and services when they visit our National Forest.
Kudos to Julie King, and those who work with her, for employing the innovative thinking required to find a speedy resolution to a potentially explosive situation. That solution may not have been the most expedient or the one preferred by her agency's prevailing bureaucratic culture, but it is certainly acceptable to the majority of residents in and visitors to the valley her agency serves.

Bitterroot Cross-Country Ski Club

Climate and Health
Climate and Health in the Southeast U.S.
Developed by the North Carolina Division of Public Health
*Information on the 2009 Climate-Health Workshop at NCDC:
*Information on the 2011 Climate-Health Workshop at UNC-Chapel Hill:
Climate change describes a long-term pattern in climate measures, including temperature, precipitation (rain, snow, etc.), and other weather conditions caused by an imbalance of incoming and outgoing solar energy in the atmosphere. North Carolina is currently experiencing aspects of climate change that affect human health issues, such as prolonged heat-related illness.
Public health responds to climate impacts by preparing for and responding to weather effects on human health. Some examples of ongoing public health preparation and response to climactic events include hurricane preparedness, harmful algal bloom surveillance, and air quality alerts.
Climate change will bring new challenges in responding to these age-old public health issues. Therefore, a strategic plan is being developed to address health-related gaps and needs in North Carolina.

Not too many big lacrosse related surprises happen in the fall. Upsets occur and nobody notices because, well, it's the fall. But the decision to change the venue for the lacrosse championship weekend to Philadelphia for the 2005 and 2006 season came as quite a shocker to everyone. Despite the overwhelming success of championship weekend in Baltimore in 2003, Philadelphia got the nod for '05 and '06.
One would think that shattering attendance records and the overwhelming support of the lacrosse world would have made Baltimore a lock for at least the next few championship weekends down the road. While one year in Baltimore would not make it appropriate to move the event to Baltimore permanently, it would seem logical to at least give them a chance to see how well they could do as a reward for their great work this year.
Before Baltimore came into the picture the lacrosse championship weekend enjoyed incredible success. But success at college venues such as the University of Maryland and Rutgers was nothing compared to the 2003 event. Let's face it: The decision to move championship weekend into a professional venue like M&T Bank Stadium was a risk of sorts for those who made it happen. After all, assuming that the cost of using a facility like M&T Bank Stadium is significantly higher than Rutgers University or the University of Maryland, had the usual 60,000 fans or so attended championship weekend 2003, it probably would have been viewed as a failure of sorts since in that scenario a better venue would not have attracted more people to the seats. From a profit perspective, had the numbers in 2003 been comparable to previous years, the NCAA would have lost money because of the cost of the better venue.But championship weekend 2003 was a staggering success in more ways than one. More than 90,000 people attended the three days of lacrosse, beating the previous record by nearly 20,000 fans. The Division I Final was the highest attended outdoor NCAA event of the year (remember, football does not have an official NCAA Division I Championship). By all accounts, Memorial Day weekend 2003 began a new era for NCAA Lacrosse - it was lacrosse taking an even bigger step towards the big-time.
Baltimore 2003
And all of this happened in the worst possible weather conditions. Like the rest of the Spring, Memorial Day weekend was a washout. It rained, it was cold, it was windy, and it was nasty…and the attendance record was still pulverized. It kind of shows you something about the attractiveness of Baltimore and M&T Bank Stadium as a venue. While there is a logic that dictates that Philadelphia will enjoy similar success as Lincoln Financial Field is perhaps the most beautiful new venue in the country, there is also logic suggesting that this move could backfire.Let's put it this way, of the 91,000+ fans who attended championship weekend in 2003, how many made the long trek and stayed in hotels and whatnot? How many commuted from the Baltimore area? The answers to these questions would also tell us whether or not the move to Philadelphia will be successful. Granted, any true blue fan can make a somewhat easy commute from Baltimore to Philadelphia for championship weekend, but take that out of the picture for a second. What I would like to submit is that championship weekend 2003 was such an overwhelming success because of the incredible volume of fans from the Baltimore area that went as a matter of convenience. If you could drive an hour or so (or potentially much less than that) to see the lacrosse event of the year, it makes it far more attractive to attend than if the event were held anywhere else…even in a driving rain storm.
Philly's Lincoln Financial Field
And in the area surrounding Baltimore, Maryland you have perhaps the highest concentration of die-hard lacrosse fans in the world. Of course, this is open to debate, but it is hard to deny the vast quantity of lacrosse junkies who live within commutable distance of Baltimore. I'm not saying the best fans come from this area, I am saying that perhaps the largest numbers do…thus the Headquarters for US Lacrosse and the Lacrosse Hall of Fame and Museum are in this City. In fact, even though they chose Philly, its proximity to Baltimore was likely among the location's most attractive features. Nobody's talking about the Meadowlands for 2007 and 2008.
In the area surrounding Philadelphia, you have a wonderful and huge group of lacrosse fans who are as die-hard as anywhere else in the lacrosse viewing world. But do the numbers compete with Baltimore? Probably not. So right off the bat, you are moving this event away from where it can attract the most possible commuters who are already lacrosse fans. You leave the attendance figures in the hands of those willing to spend an entire weekend in a hotel and those Pennsylvanians who come to see lacrosse as new experience - Philly is a hard core sports town. Sure, the numbers will assuredly be high and the event will be a success, but to suggest that Philadelphia can be more successful than Baltimore is taking quite a risk.And being that lacrosse is still developing across the country, isn't that the bottom line? Should we not hope that the best event humanly possible, meaning the highest number of spectators, takes place? Moving the Championships to Baltimore to the home of an NFL franchise was as risky of a proposition as having a championship weekend in the first place. There are probably those who said back in 1992 championship weekend would never work…and look at what it has become. So why not reward those who took this risk by seeing how far this thing can go in Baltimore? Why not see if there are 60,000 people willing to sit in a beautiful stadium on a gorgeous early summer day to see the Division I Semifinals? If nearly 40,000 people were willing to attend on a rain-soaked day, who is to say that 25,000 more would not want to make a short drive when the weather is beautiful?
For 2004, the organizers in Baltimore hope to sell out the bottom tier of the Stadium and, if they do that, maybe it is possible to open up the upper deck and sell that out too in another year or two. But Baltimore was not given that chance. In fact, for all of the risks and efforts of the people involved to bring the Championships to Baltimore in the first place, they were more or less slapped in the face by having this event moved to Philadelphia even though they have not had a fair chance to flex their proverbial muscles and show what they could really do. I'd say that 91,000 fans during a three-day monsoon is a pretty darn good job that warrants reward, not punishment. Hypothetically, if 2005 and 2006 are somehow complete disasters in Philadelphia, where would that leave the NCAA for negotiations beyond 2006?I'll also say that the goal should not be short-term financial gain (the reason behind the move to Philly) but what this event could mean in the long-term. We're talking about the growth of lacrosse as a sport here. It is more or less universally agreed that the biggest issue plaguing lacrosse is the lack of growth at the college varsity level. Schools such as St. Johns, Robert Morris, and Bellarmine have caused quite a stir by adding Division I Men's lacrosse and are being universally applauded, but this does not mean that Men's Lacrosse is in an expansion phase.
Title IX debate aside, there are some schools out there with the capabilities of adding men's lacrosse. Perhaps the huge football schools are out of the picture, but with the growth of lacrosse at every level everywhere, there are some schools out there who simply want to make a splash in the Division I athletics world, and adding men's lacrosse is a pretty easy route. Seeing a Final Four in front of 65,000 people at a professional football stadium on live national television is certainly a huge step in the right direction towards expansion. As much as St. Johns Athletics Director David Wegrzyn did not mention the notion of seeing SJU in such an environment on Memorial Day weekend as being a motive for dropping football and adding lacrosse, the big picture had to become relevant in the decision making process. SJU football was going nowhere in a hurry, lacrosse at SJU has a shot to make it to the big time because of location and facilities. So he decided to fully fund a program and go out and get one of the best young head coaches in the sport. He did not make these series of decisions without a run to the top in mind.There is a reason why every college athletics director has an obsession with symbols such as a school's logo and its colors and appearance. They want to be special and unique. They want to see the school's logo on television and on the national stage. The exposure for a school and its athletics program by reaching the Division I Final Four is worth its weight in gold, so until men's lacrosse is expanding to numbers that reflect somewhat the national rates of participation, we as a sport should endeavor to make it as attractive as possible for potential expansion by making our cornerstone event to be as big as possible. Championship weekend 2003 proved that Baltimore is in every way capable of doing just this, while the case supporting Philadelphia is not nearly as convincing.
Baltimore 2003
What I'm trying to say is that lacrosse is not big-time enough to make decisions like this one. By essentially slapping the Baltimore organizers in the face and walking away because the pot was sweeter in Philadelphia is not the right direction for a sport still in its developing stage. Football and basketball and even hockey in a sense can do this because every ticket for their championships is going to be sold no matter where you hold the contests. Lacrosse is nowhere near that point yet and until it does happen, those who can help take lacrosse to the next level should be embraced, not pushed away. Looking at what was faced in 2003, it can be said with certainty that having the Championships in Baltimore helps the growth and exposure for lacrosse. Can the same be said for sure about Philadelphia? Simply, no. Does that mean that Philly can't pull it off? Not at all.As always, there is an "on the other hand" to this story, and in this case, on the other hand, if the NCAA were to choose a different city to host the Championships, Philly is the one. Talk about a sports town, Philadelphians are in their own world when it comes to cheering on their teams. The Wings are renowned for selling out NLL games and Philly sports fans sell out everything from the NBA and NHL to Minor League Hockey as well. If there is a sporting event in Philadelphia, it seems like the fans tend to show (note to MLL brass!), so if any city is going to outdraw Baltimore, it is this one. The question is, are the Championship Weekends about to be held in Philadelphia going to be marketed to the droves of Philadelphians who simply love sports, all sports? Doing so could be the only way to make Philadelphia the overwhelming success that Baltimore was in '03.

FORT HUACHUCA, Ariz. -- One of Fort Huachuca's own, a broadcast journalist from U.S. Army Garrison Public Affairs, won first place in the 2010 Maj. Gen. Keith L. Ware Journalism Awards Competition.
Thom Williams' segment, "Triathlon," won first place for Category L: Television Sports Report.
Once a year, U.S. Army print and broadcast journalists-Soldiers and civilians-reporting for the Army worldwide, compete in up to 40 categories for the prestigious award.
Williams' entry was judged by a panel of more than 20 journalism professionals from Department of the Army Public Affairs, Department of Defense Public Affairs, commercial media and academia; and his first-place win qualifies him to compete against other services in the DoD Thomas Jefferson Awards Program.
Although this was his first win as a broadcaster, this was not the first Keith L. Ware award for Williams.
He earned his first win as part of a print team while stationed in Korea as a Soldier and his second win was as a DA civilian in 2006, for a story he wrote about Army marathon swimmer Sarah Heine. Coincidentally, Heine was also the female winner of the Steel Head Triathlon, the story Williams covered for his third win.
"She must be my good luck charm," Williams joked. "I think I was just able to hit the niche at the right time."
Williams' modesty aside, earning a first place Keith L. Ware award is no easy feat. Army journalists compete year after year for the honor, and many do not make it. Williams has competed annually since 1985.
"My strategy is to see which stories fit the categories, pick my best work of the year and enter the contest," he said. "I entered in six different categories this year."
Broadcasting is a relatively new branch of the public affairs field for Williams, who retired as an Army public affairs specialist and print journalist in 1997. He has worked in the Fort Huachuca public affairs for five years and welcomed the shift from print journalism to broadcasting.
"It [videography] is also my hobby. Everywhere I go, I take video and still photos," he said.
Williams plans to continue submitting entries every year for the Keith L. Ware award.
"The competition is good; it keeps you on your toes and forces you to keep up with changing technology," he said. "It's challenging for an old dog like me to learn new tricks."
While the personal challenge keeps him on his game, it is his love of the craft that ultimately keeps him in the game.
"I just love telling Soldiers' stories and honing my craft," he said.
The Keith L. Ware competition for 2011 is scheduled to take place next spring.

A similar situation arose when Obama had to defend DOMA. Because DOMA was a federal law the Obama administration legally had to defend it. The federal 'effort' was pretty weak because they didn't really support the law. I imagine the same thing happened here.

Player of the year: Aileen Johnson of Shore Regional enjoys a challenge as much as any highly competitive athlete. So when she suffered a serious knee injury which sidelined her for all of the 2010 season, Johnson never wavered. Rather, she looked forward to the challenge that lay ahead.
Fast forward nearly 18 months and it's safe to say Johnson answered any doubters. The senior registered an astounding 61 goals to go along with 30 assists this season and led Shore to the NJSIAA Group 1 championship. In three years, she tallied 108 goals while assisting on 74 others. Now, it's on to Duke University, where the school colors (blue and white), moniker (Blue Devils) and some teammates will be quite familiar for the affable midfielder.
"I never worried about the injury slowing down my game," Johnson said. "I hurt my knee in May 2010 while playing for the Over-21 Nationals team. My leg got caught on the turf and that was that. I felt confident that I'd be back better than ever. I have high expectations of myself, but I will admit the rehabilitation was tough, mainly because it's so boring. It's a grind you have to do, basically, alone."
Johnson tore her ACL and MCL and eventually needed two surgeries before her leg completely healed. Knowing she would miss the 2010 high school season at Shore, she watched with enthusiasm as best friend and next-door neighbor Hannah Barreca, a stalwart defender, took on the role as the team's top scorer, leading Shore to a 40th consecutive Shore Conference title as well as a 12th straight Shore Conference tournament title.
Johnson and Barreca were back on the field together this season as Shore regained the Group 1 title it last won in 2009, as well as another league and SCT crown. They'll continue that camaraderie next season at Duke.
"Hannah and I always seem to know where we're at on the field," said Johnson, who will join former Shore standout Brenna Rescigno at Duke in the fall as well. "Some people kid me that I'm going to Duke because they have the same team colors and nickname as Shore does. Seriously, it's a great school and seemed like the perfect opportunity for me."
Her relationship with legendary coach Nancy Williams was one she will never forget.
"She has the most wins in the nation," Johnson said of Williams, who finished the 2011 campaign with 798 career victories. "What can I say about her? She was always able to get the most out of us as players and taught us so much about life off the field. I'll always be grateful to her. This was a tremendous season for our team, especially beating a great team like Oak Knoll (in the North 2, Group 1 final)."
Williams, who is not one to toss compliments freely toward any player, feels Johnson left a lasting legacy on her program.
"Aileen is not only one of the most talented, but also one of the smartest and savviest players I have ever coached," Williams said. "She embodies everything Shore hockey is about -- hard work, passion, loyalty and dedication. Along with Hannah, they made everyone around them better. The game slows down for her and she sees the game develop that other players her age don't see. Aileen possesses every skill you need to be on an elite level, but the defining point is that she knows when and how to use those skills which many talented players do not. She will be an impact player for Duke. Her dream is to play in the Olympics, and she has set goals for herself to achieve that dream."
Coach of the year: Beth English led Freehold Township to the Central Jersey, Group 4 championship as well as the school's first-ever outright divisional title and overall 12-7-1 mark. In four seasons, English has put together a 55-24-8 record while leading Freehold to a pair of sectional crowns.
"The program is built on a tradition of hard work, heart, focus and playing as a unit," said English, who attended Wall High School. "Our greatest strength is that the team is unselfish. I have some tremendous coaches, players that listen and very loyal fans within our community. This was supposed to be a rebuilding year, but these kids believed in each other. We started the season by playing Shore and Freehold Borough, so we got a look at what it takes to be a good team."
Teams of the year: Shore Regional won its 13th straight Shore Conference Tournament championship and later captured a NJSIAA Group 1 title, but it's hard to narrow this to one team, especially after Freehold Borough won a second consecutive Group 3 championship, under the direction of coach Jeri Acevedo.
Kudos to Wold: In a county that thrives on outstanding field hockey players, very few could be compared to Emily Wold of Freehold Borough. Wold, who will attend the University of North Carolina, registered 50 goals and 25 assists this season as Freehold captured a second straight Group 3 title. As classy as they come, Wold's stick work and ability to play well in her team's toughest games were testimony to her hard work and focus.
Game of the year: Freehold Borough's 3-2 victory over Warren Hills in the NJSIAA, North Jersey, Section 2, Group 3 final on Nov. 8 was a classic battle. Freehold opened a 2-0 lead in the second half on goals by Emily Wold before Warren Hills battled back to tie it in the last 10 minutes of regulation time. With just 1:49 left in the contest, Wold found an opening in the seam and drilled home the game-winner.

When it comes to mood disorders, major depression has dominated the headlines. Diagnosis of major depression requires that the patient have at least 5 of 9 criterion symptoms (1 of which must be depressed mood or anhedonia) nearly every day for 2 or more weeks. Attracting somewhat less attention, dysthymia is a chronic disorder that manifests as depressive symptoms that persist more days than not for several years. Diagnosis of dysthymia does not require at least 5 symptoms, unlike major depression. Minor depression has been the Cinderella of the 3 conditions: The diagnosis requires neither meeting the symptom threshold of major depression nor the chronicity threshold of dysthymia. Mood disorder research has corresponded to this rank ordering. Therefore, clinicians have a rather robust evidence-based approach to the management of major depression, a more modest understanding of what to do for the patient with dysthymia, and even fewer data to guide them in caring for the patient with minor depression.

NEW DELHI (AP) – FIFA president Sepp Blatter says India has a good chance of hosting the Under-17 World Cup in 2017, which will enable it to play in a world-level football event for the first time.
Blatter said at a news conference Friday he was ''very positive'' about India winning the bid for the event but that the country would have to improve its infrastructure and also ''prepare its under-17 team to match expectations''.
Blatter, who called India a ''sleeping giant'' during his last visit in 2007, said ''the giant is now starting to wake up.''
India, which is at No. 158 in the latest FIFA rankings, is planning to bid for the Under-17 World Cup in 2017 as well as the 2015 World Club Championship in a bid to give a boost to the game.

101 Noodle Express
I've raved about the beef rolls at 101 Noodle Express but I've never actually done a complete post on the restaurant. We usually just order the beef rolls as take out but on my last few visits to the Irvine location, I was really tempted to sit down for a full meal because the menu has a diverse amount of dumpling and noodle soup offerings and the staff seemed really friendly.
We recently had to attend a wedding and would be passing through Orange County and decided to stop at 101 Noodle Express for lunch.
The staff was as welcoming as I remembered and the lady taking our order was super friendly and fluent in English.
No stop would be complete without the famous beef rolls. The rolls here are huge, like burritos and at about $7 an order, it's priced cheaper than many other competing restaurants who serve inferior rolls.
Thin slices of marinated beef, cilantro, are wrapped together with a savory chinese pancake. This alone is a meal in itself. At the table, they also have a cilantro jalapeno sauce which I highly recommend adding to the roll. It really enhances the flavor. For some reason the sauce is never included with take out orders. You have to specifically ask for them to give you a few containers.
They have quite a few steamed soup dumpling fillings. Usually the only ones I see on a menu are pork or crab. At 101 Noodle Express there was also fish, duck and a few others. I attempted to order duck but they were out. So I opted for the fish.
The dumplings arrived pretty as a picture. The skin wasn't too thick and there was a lot of soup in the dumplings. I wasn't so much a fan of the fish filling though. It had a slight chalkiness to it.
There is also a wide selection of dumpling fillings. I forgot to take a picture of the menu, but here is an excerpt I found of the Alhambra menu. We finally chose the shrimp and pumpkin pan fried dumplings.
I love the golden pan crispy crust on the dumplings. I did find the filling to be too much pumpkin. I was wishing for something salty to balance the sweet and for more protein.
Spicy Beef Noodle Soup with Hand Torn noodles
The broth flavor was pretty weak once you got past the spice. Despite this place being named 101 Noodle Express, the noodles were too soft and a lot of the torn pieces were too broken for my liking.
Even though the service was pretty good, we found most of the dishes to be underwhelming. I think we'll stick with take out orders of the beef rolls. I might come back to try some of the other dumpling flavors.

Hey Kirbie – When I take friends to the on food crawls, I always tell them to have only one piece of the Niu Rou Chuan from 101. Unfortunately, that never works and tends to torpedo the rest of the trip….so I now take them there last. BTW, did you notice if this location had Dezhou Pa Ji?
Shrimp and pumpkin sounds like a weird combination… at least it wasn't too much pumpkin! The bottoms looks perfectly golden and crispy – my favorite. I need a list of some places to visit when we go up to LA in June, so I'm going to put this on my list!
I think most dumpling places pale in comparison to DSW at sgv..:X
I had beef rolls for the first time at the SD Mama Liang's, and thought they were pretty good. I think you thought they were so-so, and now I really need to go to 101 Noodle Express! I'll stick with the beef rolls and dumplings.
Dang it – WHYYYY can't SD have something like this? I don't even know where to go at this point for XLB or beef rolls in SD. Everything here just seems so overpriced and terrible Any suggestions on where to go here in SD if i just HAD to have my XLB fix?
I call beef rolls Chinese burritos. I <3 Chinese burritos
Haha the fish dumplings seem very interesting..I've never heard of fish or duck filling in dumplings before!
The beef rolls look awesome – any recommendations on where to find good ones in the Bay Area? (That cilantro/jalapeno relish looks kinda like Indian cilantro chutney – altho I suppose that the spices are different…)

It's what makes the game so imperfect and unsettling and infuriating, because more is left to chance in baseball than any other. So when someone like Mariano Rivera walks into the middle of a manager's life and essentially turns chaos into metronomic serenity, you can probably guess how that makes a man feel.
"You hand him the ball and you basically become a spectator," Joe Torre said Sunday while seated in a room downstairs, while the first inning of a bitter Yankees loss was going on outside. "There was no more work to do for me. You just handed it to him and trusted he'd bring it home.
"He was as good a security blanket as a manager could possibly have."
But he represented more than just an efficient pitcher to Torre — and to all of us, actually. The best part of this game is how it acts as a petri dish for the inspection of a man's soul, and for 19 years, it allowed us to see Mariano's talents and humanity. He gave us all of it without pretension or hesitation, from very close range: He was the engaging winner, the classy loser, the unruffled competitor, and any side he chose to share somehow compelled us to embrace him even tighter.
That's why they all turned out here on Sunday, when the Yankees retired a uniform that a guy was actually still using. Did you ever hear of such a thing? "I'm still playing, but I'm retired already," Mo quipped, but circumstances aside, it's clear he isn't going to get to close any important games after this 2-1 defeat to the Giants.
Yes, this was a disappointing experience, because we all turned out to see the great Rivera slay his last dragon; Mo's own conflicted reply to the events of the day were, "Not a happy feeling — it's not what I was looking for, but it was a great day."
You might say this was a microcosm of what we've watched since April, because only the Yankees' inept offense can somehow manage to get two runners thrown out at home in the eighth inning of a one-run game.
But as final curtains go, this remains our takeaway: On the day 49,000 people came to celebrate the brilliance of a mere athlete — from Rachel Robinson to the President of Panama — Mariano delivered a lasting reminder of how this game can unite broken hearts and shattered bats.
You can mark the day as the end of a playoff bid and the end of an era. It delivered lots of endings — the final bow for Andy Pettitte, who was brilliant, the final meaningful game for Mariano Rivera.
And perhaps this wobbly caravan might have rolled forward if the rest of the Yankees did their jobs as well as their 41-year-old starter and 43-year-old closer. But that's also a part of baseball that defies explanation: No one on this Yankees team — much less in the sport — ever had Rivera's extraordinary ability to rebound from failure. Even for the most intrepid professional athletes, failure could be crippling.
You might say his advantage was the mastery of a single pitch, but we still think it has as much to do with his constitution.
Torre thinks so, anyway. "The difference … is the make-up: quiet, resolved, and he just never made an excuse," his former manager said. "If anyone had a chance to admire what they've done, he's certainly one of those guys, but he never took the time to do it because it was never time to stop doing it."
Yes, even at 43. He may have had a few stumbles the past month, but we learned this much lately: This was not Willie Mays in Flushing Meadow, this was not Ali against Holmes. This was someone still near the top of his game, who did not overstay his welcome, and that is worth celebrating.
Of course, that wasn't easy for him to do Sunday: "I didn't know what to feel," Mo said.
And 49,000 others felt the same way. Someday, they'll forget the result of the game played on this day, which is how it should be. Their parents can relate; they came from a time we deified sports stars and mourned the loss of heroes with the plaintive cry of their generation: Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?
Somehow, on days like this, it doesn't seem so quixotic. In fact, it might be time to rewrite that verse.

Something rather horrible dawned on me at Mass yesterday as I was listening to the peace petition in the Prayer of the Faithful. The more than 95,000 children in our parish religious education programs have never known a day without war being presented to them on television, on their hand-held devices and computers, or even on the car radio. No children have. And some children are being maimed and dying in wars waged by their elders.
Our youngsters never saw the Twin Towers standing in our financial district. Most of them have never seen our major churches, temples and mosques without a police presence. They have never walked onto an airplane, into a ball park or even into our own St. Patrick's Cathedral without having their back packs inspected for explosives. They have never known a time without some war. They don't know what peace is supposed to be. My worry is that they will grow up thinking this is the way the world is and that it can never be any different.
Perhaps some people remember or have read about Pope Paul VI's unprecedented speech to the United Nations in October of 1965, not that the world heeded his peace call. He, in his turn, was echoing the call for a lasting peace by one of his predecessors, Pope Benedict XV, who reigned during and after the First World War, which was supposed to be the war to end all wares. Obviously, no one heeded him either.
And now the pope of our times is warning the world to change what looks more and more like a course to another world war – one too terrible even to contemplate. This is what Pope Francis said yesterday, July 27.
Please God, let us not be like those who ignored this pope's predecessors. Let us give our children a chance to know peace.
