Ancient Native American carvings recovered
Rocks date back 3,500 years
Published 1:10 PM PST Feb 01, 2013
A series of rock carvings that date back more than 3,500 years have been recovered.
They were sheared off and taken from a sacred American Indian site in California's Sierra Nevada. They were recovered three months after the theft was discovered.
Authorities said no one has been arrested and they wouldn't provide details about the discovery, saying only that it was made this month after they received an anonymous tip in a letter.
The tipster will be eligible for a $9,000 reward if the information leads to the arrest and conviction of the culprits.

The signing of eight West Texas A&M football players to NFL undrafted free agent contracts will have a lasting impact on the Buffs program, WT head football coach Mike Nesbitt said.
"I think that's something every program wants to sell," Nesbitt said. "When you have over 20 pro scouts at pro day, eight guys sign to an NFL contract, plus the guys in from the past nine years or so, you've got something going."
WT football has produced winning teams for almost the past decade, but the past two seasons have elevated the program to new heights with a Division II national semifinal appearance in 2012 and a national quarterfinal appearance in 2013.
Last weekend following the NFL draft, these eight WT players built a new foundation for WT linked to NFL by signing free agent contracts: quarterback Dustin Vaughan with the Dallas Cowboys, receiver Nathan Slaughter with the Houston Texans, receiver Torrence Allen with the San Diego Chargers, offensive lineman Craig Watts with the Chargers, defensive end Ethan Westbrook with the St. Louis Rams, linebacker Bryan Johnson with the Buffalo Bills, linebacker Taylor McCullers with the New England Patriots and kicker Sergio Castillo with the New Orleans Saints.
"The neat thing is Bryan Johnson and Ethan Westbrooks were the only two junior college transfers to sign with an NFL team," Nesbitt said. "The rest of them were all high school guys. Five years ago, we sat in a room in December and we decided we wanted them to come play here and they became part of the team. It's neat to watch them grow up. You watch Craig Watts come in here as a freshman completely green and lost and new, and now I'm talking to him and he's getting a chance to play in the NFL. Deep down in their hearts, when you're recruiting them, that's where they all want to play."
At the Division II level, any recruiting leverage coaches can secure over their competition helps. For instance, when a coach walks into a recruit's house and the recruit doesn't know much about the Division II program, having NFL bragging rights is huge in the eyes of the recruit.
Among those players is former Buffs running back Kiry Robinson, who rushed for 326 yards last season for the Saints, including 102 yards in the playoffs.
"Kiry Robinson has picked up a lot of speed for us because he's played," Nesbitt said. "He's played in big games. You see him on TV. The reputation is starting to come. Now we get the local guys, the high school guys that have been in the program four to five years and isn't just a JUCO guy, or a transfer guy."
Nesbitt said watching a guy come in and work hard, graduate and get a chance at professional football in Canada or the U.S. is the biggest payoff for a coach.
"It creates a great culture in our locker room," Nesbitt said. "Now we have sophomores and juniors in there that saw these guys sign to the NFL. They are now looking at it like this wasn't just recruiting talk. 'These coaches were honest, if I do what I need to do and buy in, there is a chance I could get that opportunity.'
"They all want a chance to play in the NFL. We all would. Getting this opportunity to see these guys' dreams come to fruition and the end product is there is a really exciting thing."

Enabling Oppression
January 29, 2009 - LLee Janssen
"Why are the Republicans so against women?," I wonder aloud.
"Are you just now beginning to realize that?" my colleague responds.
The issue: The Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, overwhelmingly supported by Democrats and overwhelmingly rejected by Republicans in Congress. And signed into law today by President Obama.
Republicans may spout "conservative" ideals as they voted against something so important to the female side of our species -- basic protection against pay discrimination.
Equal pay is not just a woman's issue. It's a family issue. Consider this:
Domestic violence remains rampant in our country. Police report going to domestic reports and encountering women who remain in the home, only to be repeat callers. They may be reluctant to leave their sources of support, their experiences in the work force having been limited during young reproductive years. And now there are children in the mix. So they'll continue to take the beatings and to call the police when it gets out of hand.
Say she does stand up for herself and her children and strike out on her own. How is she treated in the civilian workforce? Will she be able to provide for her family the same as if she were a he? We would all like to think the answer is "yes," but the sad truth is that it's not.
There long existed an attitude in our society that stems from the historical view that men are the breadwinners, that men are supposed to make more money than their spouses. Even though the society that supported that ideal has deteriorated to the point that 41 percent of all women are their families' sole source of income.
What if those women could go out and compete in what historically has been "a man's world?" Why not define socially and legally their ability to be paid a man's wage while doing the same work, often side by side? That's already happening, you say? The fact is, women in this country still make only 78 cents for every dollar earned by a man, according to the 2007 Census. And most women of color experience even more severe pay inequity, with black women making 68.7 cents to a man's dollar; and Hispanic women, 59 cents.
That is a significant wage gap. The average working American woman this year will toil until April 22 -- Equal Pay Day -- to make the same amount of money that her male counterpart made last year.
Now consider this: While the working single parent may need to have an equal payday more than the two-earner household, simply because she must go it alone, this wage gap affects two-earner households too. Today more than ever it takes two people to pay the bills, to furnish the home, to put groceries on the table.
So back to that original question: Why are so many Republicans against this measure? It seems to me that their opposition simply enables oppression, keeps women under the thumb of men and dependent on them for support, and stands in the way of any true partnerships among the genders. It's disrespectful and casts women into a state of servitude for which a man would never stand.

The 2012 NFL draft is going to begin in little more than one week, so we are going to take a momentary break from focusing on draft selection strategy and shift our attention to the 2012 NFL schedule that was just released. For the entire NFL 2012 regular-season schedule, click here.
In looking at the Buffalo Bills 2012 NFL regular-season schedule that was just released today, several things stand out. First of all, the Bills finally return to prime time when they face the Miami Dolphins on a Thursday Night Football game on NFL Network. The Week 11 game is going to be played in Buffalo on Nov. 15.
The vast majority of Bills games will be played at 1 p.m., ET on CBS Network, as per usual. One of the interesting quirks in the schedule is that the Bills open and close the year against the New York Jets.
The Bills' 2012 home opponents are Jacksonville, Kansas City, St. Louis, Seattle, Tennessee and then their three AFC East foes, Miami, New England and the New York Jets.
The Bills 2012 road opponents are Arizona, Cleveland, Houston, Indianapolis, San Francisco and their three AFC East foes: Miami, New England and New York Jets.
Will all of the big moves that the Bills made in free agency to improve the defensive line allow this defense to grow by leaps and bounds? Will it take a month or two of the regular season for the defense to truly come together? The Philadelphia Eagles added a number of good veteran defenders in 2011, but that defense didn't really gel until the final four or five games of the year.
As we march through the 2012 schedule, we will highlight some of the storylines and wind up making a prediction for every game on the 2012 schedule. On to the presentation...

A north shore state representative is calling for an Attorney General's Office investigation into a private website he says is fraudulently charging citizens for drivers license renewal information that is available for free on a state website. State Rep. Tim Burns, R-Mandeville, said the issue was brought to his attention by a constituent who he claims was duped for $14 on the site, which does not renew one's license, but simply provides information on the renewal process.
The site, louisianadriverslicense.org, not only has a deceptive name and appearance, but uses paid search engine rankings so that it is listed first when web users search for terms related to online renewal, Burns said. For many, it might appear that this is the official website for getting a new or renewed driver's license in Louisiana.
The website contains options such as new license, renew license and update license. There is a link for the online application and checklist, which takes you to another website that then asks you to fill out personal information, including credit card information. However, after payment, the user is merely directed to the official state site, Burns said.
He said all the information provided on the private website is available for free at the legitimate state site: http://omv.dps.state.la.us.
Burns, a lawyer, said he wants to alert citizens to avoid using the private website while the Attorney General's Office conducts an investigation.
The website features a state logo on its home page and touts itself as "your source for Louisiana drivers license information." It also includes the following notice in a box at the top of the site: "If you need to apply for or make changes to your driver license, you can do so at an official OMV location or website, or you can work with an independent third-party offering application assistance. Our site provides links to both options to give you access to all available resources.''
Initial attempts to reach operators of the site Wednesday afternoon were not successful.
On its "about us" page, the owners of the website said they created it to take the confusion and hassle out of the Office of Motor Vehicle process. "By taking the time to research all of the current Louisiana laws, we've created a one-stop resource that's proved invaluable to thousands of sensible drivers. We tell you what you need to bring, which laws apply to you, and where you can find helpful tools and resources for your specific needs. In the end, we hope our site saves you time and eases the pain of dealing with your local OMV office."

Sometimes I wonder if this kind of refactoring is useful or not. To me, it is - I prefer small pages to long ones (I hate too much scrolling).
Actually, the page as it is now needs to be properly factored into a bunch of pages with adequate titles. --

How do you know he's not

And furthermore, what's on that console is fixed-geometry touch panels, really just flat versions of the old rocker-switches and radio-buttons Sulu etc. used to use. That always puzzled me: set course such and such Mr Sulu. <click> <clickety-click>. Is he setting up the heading in binary, or what?
In some episodes of
, they have shown flat panels being reconfigured. Presumably, the navigation panel is already optimum for its job.
Who says it's a bottleneck? Even Data requires a little bit of time to cogitate, and punching a keypad may be plenty fast. Considering this, in the distant future, they elide
and just get along. What I'd really like to know, however, is why tricorders use teeny tiny displays, and why all the huge wall displays look exactly the same no matter what is happening....

. Of course it takes them a few years, but the last thing the Vulcans want is for the earthers to throw in with the Klingons ...
So all our IT savvy was lost and earth computers fried during Y2K and WW3. Check out the eighth ST movie to get an idea of the result. As for Vulcans, they don't need or use many computers; they can calculate warp geometry in their heads while simultaneously playing 57 different games of 3-D chess. 20th century IT becomes a lost art and earth engineers are having too much fun playing with the fundamental forces of the universe in new and exciting ways to re-engineer a PC. The simple fact is that if we had had a warp-drive 50 years ago we never would have focused on all this IT. So all those TOS consoles are just what they look like: TTL logic.
Now by the time TNG rolls around, a lot of IT has been recovered, and a lot has been replaced by better alien equivalents.

Spending 11 quadrillion dollars just to synthesize yummy matter just to eat, including the research fees? That's the real-money value of such a transaction. You think they just ablate a strontium ion for the baryons?
Um, they have nanotech. Replicators just push the atoms into more convenient molecules; they don't convert energy into matter.

Sorry, but both of you are wrong. It
a conversion of energy to matter; if you read the technical materials on the various starships, you'll find that replicator technology
is a proper subset of transporter technology.
As such, they convert matter to energy when "dematerializing" something, and store this energy in a central cache (usually by reforming solid matter in some storage tank), and convert energy back into matter.
Bzzt. The transporter reconfigures stock materials into foods. This is why it never tastes quite right. Check your tech manuals again, ensign. Feeding everyone off of the output of the warp core would be:
Inefficient (fuel)
Inefficient (energy) -- Even transporters need a lot of extra energy to just keep the sum at 0
Inefficient (engineering) -- Why do it that way when a much easier way suffices? Not to say that ST has great engineering practices, or even sensical science, but hey...
Dilithium Crystals
Most of the energy requirements on a starship come from the matter/antimatter fusion reactor. The natural reaction rate appears highly unstable and to prevent the otherwise inevitable nuclear explosion, dilithium crystals are used to modulate the rate.
The phrase 'dilithium crystal' implies a crystalline structure, analogous to the ionic bonding present in metal/non-metal compounds like sodium carbonate, but instead of sodium and carbonate ions, there are 'dilithium' ions. Unfortunately, there is no such element as dilithium. Two obvious possibilities then present themselves. Firstly, dilithium could be an as yet undiscovered element. It is impossible to argue this either way. Second, dilithium may be related to lithium, a known element; possibly a dimer. Lithium is a metal and metal ion dimers have yet to be found. Instead, metals in solid form are exist as ions, separated and surrounded by a sea of delocalized electrons. Nevertheless, metals do have a crystalline structure arising from misalignments between adjacent planes of ions. The size of these crystals can be altered by environmental factors, for example heat. In Star Trek, frequent reference is made to dilithium mining or dilithium deposits, which implies that it is naturally present. Potentially, high temperature and pressure found under a planet's surface may be favourable for the sort of crystallization process referred to above if other, as yet indeterminate, conditions are met. However, it is unclear how such a structure could modulate the rate of a matter/antimatter reaction.
Another suggestion could be that dilithium crystals are composed of lithium and antilithium ions. This may create a structure that could modulate the rate of matter/antimatter explosions. Unfortunately, it is difficult to envisage conditions occurring naturally to support the creation of such an alloy.
<ahem> Um, methinks somebody needs to take this Star Trek stuff a little less seriously. Eh?
How many of Arthur C. Clarke's predictions have come true, and how many are yet to come? I've heard that the "yellow grid" of the holodeck has proven to be viable in real life. I'm quite sure we
eventually have something like dilithium crystals.
''Just to elaborate... according to the Tech Manuals - the Dilithium Crystal is supposed to be porous to anti-matter. The crystal is supposed to create a lattice which allows the particles of matter to react with particles of anti-matter, and then the alignment of the crystal is supposed to direct the energies from that reaction out in to the Power Transfer Conduits. Yes I know its all bollocks, but that's the supposed theory anyway. (Ortega)
Star Trek is only a TV show.
And your point is ... ??
Worse than that, the science in ST has always been pretty bad, as it was never a priority of the writers. Spending a lot of time and energy after the fact to try and work around the bloopers just seems like a waste of time.
Well, we programmers, who spend lots of time working around bugs in other people's code
hardly even notice...
And who says that just because its a TV show it can't be right?
Yeah, the science is pretty bad - because tachyon particles, trans-phasic warp coils, inverting the polarity of the ship's hull while at warp speed, and intertial dampening units for galaxy class starships were all well researched and documented in the early 1900's.
So you're saying that sentient beings devolving back into earlier evolutionary forms is well established and documented, right? Methinks Charles Darwin would like to have a word or two with you. Or hey, how about that big WHOOSH in space when they go to warp speed, because nobody
decades after
knew that sound doesn't carry in space.
Star Trek's sins against science are numerous and egregious. There simply is no excuse. Check out
to see how a science fiction show could do science right, if it cared to.
I'm saying nitpicking the science of futuristic sci-fi is silly. I'm also saying that things like quantum teleportation would have been ridiculed. . . until we found out they really do exist. The big whoosh? perhaps it's not sound carried through air, but a big bass wave caused by the warp field. . . it' SCI-FI!
That doesn't mean that discussion (particularly including nitpicking) is off-limits! The only newsgroup I ever created, rec.arts.sf.science, is dedicated to such things, and it was a wildly popular suggestion when I came up with the idea during the great (infamous) SF-LOVERS newsgroup split, and has been popular ever since. (The trekkers have some parallel thing separate from SF in general, but I never followed it.)
10-4. Make it so! Personally I'd rather reference Babylon5, but on this page, that's probably heresy

Brook grew up in a small, loving family in San Antonio and Austin where she developed a love for people, animals, food, and culture. In 1994, she graduated phi beta kappa with high honors in English Literature from her grandfather's alma mater, Colgate University, in Hamilton, New York. From Colgate, she went to Indiana University in Bloomington where, in 1997, she received her Masters in English Literature and began teaching group fitness classes. During the next couple of years, she cultivated her love of wine and wellness, working for a small wine shop and two distributors, and also teaching movement classes in San Antonio and Austin. Brook then attended the University of Texas School of Law, graduating in 2001. For the next 10 years, Brook worked as a Federal attorney for a government agency where she litigated numerous cases, all the while teaching movement and yoga classes. In 2009, through work with a spiritual mentor and countless hours in meditation, she realized her heart was calling her to a different path. So in the summer of 2010, Brook opened Urban Yoga. Urban Yoga is a wholistic wellness studio located in Fort Worth's Historic South Side dedicated to helping members of the Fort Worth community feel healthy, whole, and connected. The welcoming studio offers yoga, ballet barre, and nia classes, along with healing arts, spiritual retreats, and an ecofriendly boutique. Brook's yoga classes incorporate the deep healing practices of hatha yoga, pranayama (breathwork), meditation, yoga therapy, and more. In addition to teaching and directing the studio, Brook is a proud mother of two beautiful boys — Jack (7) and Charlie (4). Brook lives in Mistletoe Heights with the love of her life, Wade Barrow, their boys, and their many animals.

At few point throughout a two-day drive of the entire-new Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG, something interesting occured. Your author learned to stop concerning and wish the bomb.
Instructed to stop concerning about the ML63s carbon footprint. Concerning about its two-and-a-half-ton weight. Worrying, ultimately, about the sheer ludicrousness of turning the mild-mannered, safe-centric M-class SUV into something that should wear a court-ordered ankle bracelet. We can not recall the perfect moment, but entire this consternation probably disappeared when the twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V-8 was swallowing 14.5 psi of boost and delivering 518 horsepower. AMG
arrogates that the ML63 will get 60 mph in less than 4.8 seconds. Choose the AMG Function package, and the boost goes up to 18.9 psi, which yields 550 horsepower and a 4.5-second 0-to-60 sprint through our estimate. Top accelerate, with or without the necessity Performance package, is governed at 155 mph.
One of our popular components of the actual ML63 was its exhaust note. Component big-block Chevrolet Chevelle, component offshore powerboat, entire exactly inappropriate for high society. AMG has handled to preserve that audio in the latest edition inspite its engines slightly littler displacement and 2 pesky turbochargers in the way of the exhaust gases. Deep and loud below complete throttle, but with a somewhat uneven and menacing sound at idle, the 5.5-liter is an exact mimic of the old 6.2. Might be thats why it wears the similar ML63 badges on its fenders and rear door. Or might be AMG only ordered so many of them and has not function out now.
Unlike the previous ML63 AMG, the latest edition does not slam shifts as though it is punishing its transmission. Gear alters from the seven-velocity automatic are smoother but still fast. AMG looks to have dialed more compliance into the suspension, also. Impacts are less jarring, and the chassis is quieter.

"No one has to have a lawyer or accountant to check," Strange said. "You go to the site, put in your numbers and you either qualify or you don't. The entire state was included, which is an important thing. So we urge businesses to investigate and see if you qualify."
Strange said businesses throughout the state were impacted by the spill since it shut the Gulf Coast down, affecting tourism, dampening consumer spending, resulting in lost revenue for the state.
Strange recommended businesses go to the settlement site to check.
Strange also talked about gambling, saying that his aim since becoming attorney general is to make stands against gambling, but to "take the drama out of it." He intends to keep fighting what he considers slot machines, and believes that if gambling is illegal in the state, it ought to be illegal on Indian reservations as well.
"Two-and-a-half years ago, we inherited a huge mess," he said. "Things were on the verge of getting violent. We wanted to take the issue out of the confrontational aspect and put it in the courts, because that's the perfect venue to make a final decision. We go in, you make your case, we make ours, and then we move on...I think the raids, going in with hundreds of troopers, that was just inflaming the issue."
In a session that lasted less than an hour, Strange also answered questions on several issues:
Immigration - He looks forward to the federal government tackling the issue, especially after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down most of the state's legislation. "Now I think you're seeing in Washington...they've started a debate. It's long, long overdue."
The Legislature's newly passed gun legislation - "A good solution was reached that doesn't jeopardize businesses."
The recently passed Accountability Act - "We may have to weigh in on that before it's all said and done - my role is to defend the laws of the Legislature."

Not really.
I pay $5 a half gallon...and I get my choice of Jersey or Guernsey, I much prefer the Guernsey.
On the other hand if you are making your own orange juice from fresh naval oranges, at the common rate of 1-2 lbs of oranges per cup of juice(oranges vary in juiciness) and Navals were 1.29 per lb this week. That's 1.29-2.58 per cup of juice. And a whopping $10.32-20.63 per half gallon.
Now that is EXPENSIVE as hell.
I ate an orange yesterday. But I didn't bother juicing the damned thing.
(I had used the zest in a lovely baked/braised pork recipe the night before.)

What is in this article?:
- Managing powdery mildew in peach orchards
- Management of powdery mildew
- Powdery mildew of peach occurs worldwide, but is most damaging in semi-arid growing areas. This means that in some years in California the disease can be severe.
- The disease can be caused by several different species of powdery mildew fungi that commonly occur on Rosaceous plants.
Management of powdery mildew
Selection of less susceptible cultivars, cultural practices, and the use of protective fungicide treatments are the most important practices for managing the disease. Less susceptible cultivars should be planted in areas that commonly have a high incidence of disease. To reduce the relative humidity in the orchard, the frequency of irrigation periods should be minimized and low-angle sprinklers should be used to keep foliage dry. Fungicide applications are done from full bloom until the pit hardening stage of fruit development for peach. Adequate management of rusty spot was achieved with three to four fungicide applications including the full bloom treatment in the most favorable conditions for disease.
Several products are available for managing powdery mildew. Wettable sulfur has been known to be effective for many years but has the shortest residual residue. In orchards where mildew has been a problem, a pre-bloom treatment with wettable sulfur can be used to reduce the chasmothecia and subsequently the primary inoculum.
For bloom sprays the SBI fungicides (propiconazole/Tilt, Bumper, fenbuconazole/Indar, metconazole/Quash, myclobutanil/Rally, tebuconazole/Elite, Tebuzol, Orius in EC or WP formulations; the QoI fungicides (such as azoxystrobin/Abound) or trifloxystrobin/Gem; and wettable sulfur are effective materials. Other materials include premixtures such as pyraclostrobin & boscalid/Pristine and the newly registered propiconazole & azoxystrobin/Quilt Xcel. Several new premixtures will be registered this coming year and include azoxystrobin&difenoconazole/Quadris Top, trifloxystrobin & fluopyram/Luna Sensation and pyraclostrobin & fluxapyroxad/BAS703. In our testing this year we found that the new SDHI products, fluopyram and fluxapyroxad, are also highly effective against powdery mildew but will only be sold as premixtures. Thus the premixtures offer high activity, very consistent performance, and built-in resistance management with two different modes of action for powdery mildew management.
Lastly for petal fall (to pit hardening) treatments, the products mentioned above can be used, as well as two new materials that only have activity against powdery mildew. Quinoxyfen/Quintec, which was registered in 2010, has a unique mode of action and can be used to break-up overuse of SBI and QoI fungicides.
Another material with a different mode of action that is only active against powdery mildew is metrafenone. This material is not registered on tree crops but it is going through the specialty crop registration process. The outlook is very positive for new modes of action that are highly effective against powdery mildew. Just as using single-site mode of action fungicides, when using pre-mixtures or tank mixtures rotate between the FRAC Groups, never apply more than two consecutive applications of the same FRAC Group number, and, ideally, rotate between the FRAC Groups with every application.

More presidents for Kearns Goodwin
"The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism"
By Doris Kearns Goodwin
Simon & Schuster; 928 pages; $40
It took Doris Kearns Goodwin seven years to complete her latest opus, which focuses on the relationship between Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft, his hand-picked successor. She also covers the rise of muckraking journalism and the Progressive Era.
Goodwin said she always was intrigued by Roosevelt but knew the book couldn't just be about the 26th president. Volumes already had been written about him.
So she delved into his life, following his presidency and the decision to pick his own successor. What she found was Roosevelt and Taft were close friends whose friendship fell apart, in part because of politics.
"When I found out they had a long friendship, which made the rupture even more heartbreaking, I just thought this has to be a double biography," she said.
Although she knew much about Roosevelt before writing the book, Goodwin said the research and writing process opened her eyes to Taft, his accomplishments and his life.
"I knew so little about Taft," she said. "All I really knew is he had run for president in 1908, won the election and lost it in 1912. He was the only person who had been president and Supreme Court justice. That's probably what I knew.
"But he was a much more impressive and emphatic figure than I realized," she said. "He fell short as a public figure, but as a human being, he was so decent and human and kindly. People really loved him."
Roosevelt and Taft were drawn to each other when they were young, she said.
They seemed very different. For example, Roosevelt loved to exercise, while Taft's idea of a workout was a round of golf. However, Goodwin said their friendship might have been a simple case of "opposites attracting."
"They were both young reformers in the Gilded Age period," she said. "They were against the corrupt system in the city, they were fighting for civil servant reform and they both cared about social justice for poor people and working people."
That kinship went so far as Roosevelt choosing Taft as his successor, campaigning for him and encouraging people to vote for him in 1908.
Taft was elected, but Roosevelt wasn't entirely pleased with what he heard afterward and ran for president in 1912. That decision is what ultimately ended their friendship.
But "The Bully Pulpit" is far from just a book about a fractured friendship between two presidents, Goodwin said. It also focuses on the Progressive Era and the journalists who helped initiate change.
That era -- often described as the period from right after the Civil War until 1920 -- is one that has long interested Goodwin.
"It's just that people live more intensely in those eras when dramatic issues are at stake," she said. "I'd rather be writing about that than the 1920s, or 1970s or 1980s."
Politicians nowadays could learn from Roosevelt, who spoke in ways that "Harvard people would think was folksy."
However, Goodwin said it might be difficult for leaders to follow in Roosevelt's path, especially since the bully pulpit has been diminished by people's limited attention span, she said.
"I think things have gotten so divided in the media, as well as the partisanship in Congress, that having the ability to reach the country in a common conversation is less likely today," she said.
DreamWorks Studios in October purchased the film rights to "The Bully Pulpit." Goodwin worked with the studio and director Steven Spielberg on the film "Lincoln," which was based in part on Goodwin's "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln."
"It's really exciting to know that I'll be working with him again," she said. "When you're writing, you're writing as a solitary figure. But when you're working on a movie, you're working with a team. It's a wonderful feeling to have that camaraderie."
Goodwin said her next book likely will focus on leadership and the qualities all of her presidents -- including Lyndon Johnson, John F. Kennedy and Franklin D. Roosevelt -- shared that made them good leaders.

Vol. LXIII, No. 7
Wednesday, February 18, 2009
For more movie summaries, see Kams Kapsules.
Was Run Lola Run a fluke? When released a decade ago, that frenetic crime thriller landed on many critics top 10 list for 1999, present company included. But despite being given considerably larger budgets, German director Tom Twyker has never managed to make another movie which measures up to Lola. Twyker appears to be over his head when he tries to direct a Hollywood blockbuster.
For example, The International, is an ambitious political potboiler starring Clive Owen and Naomi Watts. The film was shot in an array of exotic locations ranging from New York, London, and Berlin, to Potsdam, Milan, and Istanbul. Plus, it features a life-size replica of the Guggenheim Art Museum which provides the setting for a dizzying shootout on the museums familiar circular ramp.
The plot involves Interpol Agent Louis Salinger (Owen) and Manhattan Assistant district attorney Eleanor Whitman (Watts) who are trying to break up an intercontinental money-laundering operation that is being run out of a conglomerate called the International Bank of Business and Credit (IBCC). The IBBC has cornered the market on small arms and is about to broker a deal between China and some Middle East countries, that are hostile to Israel, for guided missiles that are capable of reaching Tel Aviv.
The movie opens in Berlin where Salinger has been assigned to work with Whitman following the death of her partner (Ian Burfield) under suspicious circumstances. It seems that her partner wasnt the first person who was investigating the IBBC that died in a freak accident or disappeared under suspicious circumstances.
What ensues is a globe trotting game of cat-and-mouse which takes the pair to plenty of places where neither has jurisdiction to operate. Salinger works for Interpol and Whitman, who is an attorney, isnt even a law enforcement officer.
Nonetheless, Salinger behaves like the classic gunslinging loose cannon who ignores the rules and whose body is impervious to bullets, while Whitman plays the damsel-in-distress.
Perhaps because English is not the directors native language, much of the dialogue has the characters talking in trite fortune-cookie-speak, such as Sometimes, a man can meet his destiny on the road he took to avoid it and Sometimes, the hardest thing in life is knowing which bridge to cross.
And sometimes a script is so pathetic that the picture should never have been made in the first place.
Fair (1 star). Rated R for profanity and graphic violence. Running time: 118 minutes. Studio: Columbia Pictures.

A sloppy mess of rain and some snow and ice is expected to descend on New Jersey Wednesday, but although it will be unpleasant, the majority of the state should escape the day without any major winter weather headaches.
Precipitation should overspread the state by mid-morning, according to the National Weather Service. While it could begin as snow, sleet or freezing rain in parts of northern and central New Jersey, by noon temperatures should be warm enough for a changeover to all rain — with the exception of far northern and western parts of the state.
A winter weather advisory has been issued for Sussex County, where 1 to 3 inches of snow and some icing is expected from Wednesday morning through early Thursday, the National Weather Service said. In southern parts of the state, a rumble of thunder isn't out of the question.
"Sounds like early spring," Kristin Kline, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service at Mount Holly, wrote in her afternoon forecast.
While most of the state should simply see a wet evening commute, travel could become treacherous in Sussex County, where snow, sleet and freezing rain could cause icing issues on some roads.
Elsewhere, the little or no snow or ice accumulation is expected, and rainfall amounts are not expected to pose a flooding threat.
According to the NWS, things should begin to clear Thursday afternoon and give way to a pleasant Friday, with temperatures in the 50s before another round of rain moves into the state for the start of the weekend.

OLEAN, N.Y. - La Salle's offense came up empty on Saturday and the result was the Explorers' most lopsided loss of the season, an 82-61 setback at St. Bonaventure in an Atlantic Ten game.
The Explorers (12-14, 4-7) trailed the entire game and seemingly never had a chance in a contest featuring two teams jostling for position in the jam-packed middle of the conference. The Explorers' largest previous margin of defeat was by 19 (87-68) to Richmond on Jan. 8.

MOBILE, Alabama – A homeless man who confessed to holding up a bank in March because he was hungry pleaded guilty to bank robbery Thursday.
Federal prosecutors have agreed to recommend leniency for Timothy Patrick Herrington, 38, who admitted to robbing the Century Bank branch on Government Street on March 18.
According to court records, Herrington walked into the bank at about 1 p.m. and pointed a note at a teller stating: "Put everything in the drawer in the bag and shut up we want it all."
Herrington told the teller to stop when she started to retrieve a bag and to stop again when she reached for more money from the drawer, the plea document states. The defendant admitted that he told the teller that the cash she had taken out was enough; he stuffed $1,238 into his pockets and met another man outside the bank.
The two went to a nearby Burger King as police cars drove by and then parted ways, according to authorities.
About an hour later, Cpl. Christopher Levy spotted a man matching the description of one of the robbers get out of a taxi on Claiborne and Canal streets. The passenger turned out to be Justin Gorniak, who told investigators that he went with Herrington to the bank but stayed outside.
Goreniak denied involvement. He faces a robbery charge in state court but has not been charged federally.
Police tracked down Herrington at about midnight at a homeless camp behind the Rodeway Inn in Tillman's Corner. Officers caught him at a gas station after a brief foot chase.
The plea agreement states that Herrington, who had no money on him, confessed and told investigators that he robbed the bank because he was hungry. He said he had given most of the money away.Follow Brendan Kirby on Twitter: Follow @BrendanKKirby

For those choosing to go solo, maps and guide information are available at our front desk, at the Sun Valley/ Ketchum Visitors Center, the Sawtooth National Recreation Area Visitor Center and the Ketchum Ranger District.
The mighty Snake, Salmon and Clearwater rivers produced some of the greatest Chinook salmon and steelhead. And in Sun Valley, you can experience the wild rivers as they did over a hundred years ago at famed spots such as Silver Creek, The Big Wood, The Big Lost, Copper Basin and The Little Wood.
Sun Valley really is the divine destination for fly-fishing. Whether you are looking for remote high mountain streams or lowland desert reservoirs, you will find trophy cutthroat trout and bass for the masters. From jewel-like alpine lakes to the streams flowing through this country's deepest canyons, trout in all their forms lure anglers to Idaho waters.
Biking in Sun Valley, whether on the flat or up the trail is an experience. Sun Valley, Idaho is home to the best single track in the country. From short spins to epic adventures, you can find it here. The trails offer sustained climbs and fast descents. The incredible views of the Pioneer and Smoky Mountain ranges will take your breath away.
Horseback Riding
With so much terrain to explore you might want to opt for an animal-guided tour.
Area outfitters are ready to take you wherever you would like to go on a multi or single day trip. Excursions into nature are not limited to horses. A popular activity might include a day hike with llamas. Hikers are accompanied with trained guides through many of the scenic wilderness areas and the llamas carry everything. Both options are great family fun.
Water Sports
Float, boat, or swim— raft, kayak or tube Idaho's wild rivers and their rapids. Along the Salmon and Payette Rivers - hot springs, Indian pictographs, thousand-foot cliffs, and trout fishing are a few of the treats found in a day's journey. The gentle but exhilarating rapids on the day-stretches of the Salmon River are perfect for families and seniors looking for a little excitement. Local outfitters offer single or multi-day river trips for rafters or kayakers. Head south of Ketchum for a day of flat-water kayaking and of wildlife viewing. Just 45 minutes north of Sun Valley three high alpine lakes invite canoers and swimmers to jump in. The middle fork of the Salmon River offers some of the most challenging white water in the world.
Sun Valley is home to three 18 hole courses that range from target design and tree-lined fairways varying in width to a maze of water hazards and sand bunkers. One may choose between the Bigwood Golf Course at Thunder Spring or Sun Valley Golf Course. Two private courses, Elkhorn & Valley Club offer options to member's guests only.
Gun Club
The Sun Valley Gun Club is just a five minute drive from Knob Hill Inn across from the entrance to Trail Creek Cabin. The facility can accommodate individuals or groups from beginners to sharp-shooters will be challenged at the Sun Valley Gun Club. Trap, Double Trap, Wobble Trap, Skeet, Duck Tower, 5-Stand and Sporting Clays are all offered.
The Gun Club features Beretta shotguns and "light target load" ammo to minimize gun recoil. Each shooter is briefed on proper gun safety procedures. Beginners welcome!
NSCA-certified instructors are always available to assist the novice and the seasoned shooter.

"I intend on letting everybody know if we have a Publix," Mayor Terry John Calhoun said Wednesday. "You'll hear from me if that happens. Trust me."
Facebook pages this week have seen shared among Etowah County residents of what are supposed to be minutes from a previous Rainbow City Council meeting in June where Calhoun is recorded as having discussed an incentive package with the grocery chain.
Calhoun said a development is being planned for Rainbow City - "The Shoppes at Rainbow Landing" - but that Publix's involvement is not official, and developers with Paradise Ventures have not closed on the property. Calhoun said the city has been working with developers on this project for almost three years.
Paradise Ventures, a Florida-based firm, lists the Shoppes at Rainbow Landing on its website as a development at the intersection of Alabama 77 and U.S. 411, with about 65,000 square feet of gross leaseable space and 19,000 square feet of local retail space, with a "grocery announcement pending." It says construction should begin this month and should be completed by next June.
A new Publix opened in Oxford earlier this year at Oxford Commons off Interstate 20.
Calhoun said the city has approved site plans for a new Bojangles location across U.S. 411 from Winn Dixie. He said he did not know when construction might start.

A Los Angeles man who was arrested for theft on the basis of DNA testing of blood found at the crime scene said he couldn't remember the March 9, 2009 break-in.
Yoni Soto Vanega, 26, told District Judge Dave Gamble through an interpreter that he didn't remember the crime, but the evidence against him might result in a conviction on a more serious crime.
Vanega pleaded guilty to one count of theft in connection with the incident at a Metcalf Builders site in Indian Hills. Evidence indicated that a fence was cut and a wheelbarrow used to take compressors, a nail gun, drill, rotohammer and tool belt away from the site.
DNA testing led detectives to Vanega who was in custody in Bakersfield in 2010.
Under a plea negotiation, Vanega pleaded guilty to theft to avoid a charge of burglary or a enhancement for being a habitual criminal.
Under the agreement, Vanega faces 12-30 months in prison, but Gamble made clear he could sentence him to a maximum of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine, if the judge chose.
Sentencing was set for Jan. 29, 2013. Vanega is being held in Douglas County jail. Vanega could be deported as a result of the conviction.

You know that tiny sliver of sunlight that spills into your apartment in the late afternoon? You know, the one that your landlord describes as "sun-drenched," and charges you an extra $400 in rent to experience? Well, if you can handle the jealousy of a high dose of Vitamin D, check out the light-filled layout of this Park Slope beauty.
Straight out of some crappy film starring Jennifer Connelly, a pair of filmmakers with one child (and a large disposable income) reworked a triplex to include more space and light. Laura Lau and Chris Kentis fell in love with the central Park Slope location and replaced flooring with translucent glass, among other things. During the day, the floors acted as a skylight for the whole home and at night, lights made of plumbing pipes make the apartment glow like a nightlight.
To see all of the photos of this beautiful renovation, click here. Just put on some sunglasses.

HourlyHours to be determined
Hi all
We have very specific requirements and are looking for a simple, quick solution.
We currently operate an online store selling import goods via dropship.
We need a solution that will:
1) update our store for if the product is in stock with our supplier (from their URL CSV file updated daily with 'In Stock' or 'Out of Stock' and the corresponding SKU for our store).
2) Whenever a sale is made, the order from Magento needs to be formed into a specific CSV format from our supplier and then emailed to them in their template. We need Magento to automatically fulfil this and send an email.
Here is our current workflow and what we need in descriptive language:
- Supplier has multiple CSV URLs updated daily. We need Magento or a custom script to automatically scan these CSVs, and when a SKU in the CSV says 'In Stock', our site with that SKU needs to show 'In Stock'. When the product is 'Out of Stock' on the external CSV, we need Magento to change the product to 'Out of Stock.'
- Customer places order
- We have same SKUs as suppliers
- Order needs to be automatically generated into our suppliers CUSTOM CSV format and emailed to them, per order, automatically.
It is a more permanent solution to eCommHub.com
IF POSSIBLE, WOULD LIKE TOTAL COST ESTIMATE (ie. $200)
There are many premade solutions out there (120usd) but we are looking for something that might be more custom & more affordable. Please quote lowest possible as we are very small & new with a small budget! If more time is needed than predicted, we can increase budget.

• Xeroradiography of the neck was performed on 36 children with suggested or known acquired tracheal abnormalities. The information obtained from the lateral projection xeroradiograph was superior in selected cases to the conventional soft tissue roentgenogram. In these cases, the information obtained justified the increased (12-fold) radiation exposure and obviated the need for positive contrast examination. This procedure should be considered in any case in which a fluoroscopic contrast examination is indicated.

The City of Goose Creek paid off all its debts in 2012.
This is a rare, almost unheard of feat for any governing body or municipal government.
City Administrator Dennis Harmon attributes this to the fiscal responsibility of city council and city staff.
We look at the total debt of our city on a regular, reoccurring basis, Harmon said. When you have debt you incur interest. We try to keep the debt of the city to a minimum.
Because of the citys revenue streams its staff was able to pay off the debt on its interest over a period of time. We thought it would be prudent to do that, Harmon said.
By paying off many debts early the city saved an estimated $750,000 to $1 million, Harmon said.
In every one of these cases we paid it off early, he said. Theres no real magic there. Its a combination of being fiscally conservative, having fiscal discipline, and realizing what you can afford and pay back.
Its easy to borrow, hard to pay back. When you pay it back early weve got good caretakers of the publics money. Defer to what you need as opposed to what youd like to have. It comes down to the ability to say no.
Paying off debt affects the citys cash flow.
Harmon compared city debt to that of a homeowner. Most homeowners do not have $150,000 cash to pay for a home so they take a loan and pay it over time.
The $2.5 million bond payment on the Crowfield Golf and Country Club was one of the citys major debts. It was paid off on Oct. 5. The golf course debt was $235,000 annually from 2003 to 2012.
It affects cash flow, Harmon said. Having that paid off allows the city to look at future property. It eliminates the need for the general fund to support that operation.
Other major debts paid off include fire trucks and Santee Cooper water line extensions.
Two water line extensions were paid off on July 31 (for $763,384) and Nov. 30 (for $398,162). The water tower off U.S. 176 ($865,000) was paid off July 1, 2011.
Harmon said the city has two types of debt. The first is general obligation, which is superior debt. The city is pledging full faith to repay this debt. You will do whatever is necessary to pay that, he said.
The second type is revenue debt, which takes proceeds from a particular fund.
Over the years weve rebuilt the city water system, Harmon said. We didnt put tax or general fund revenues into that fund.
According to Harmon this is a standalone system fees incurred pay off fees within that system. The golf course also worked that way.
As of October the golf course became self-sufficient, meaning it now pays for itself.
Very few cities I have any knowledge of are debt free, Harmon said. It speaks well to the financial models we have in place.
Most cities have so many demands placed on them they cant make those things happen without borrowing. The tendency for political entities is to not overburden your population with debt.
The city uses good fiscal discipline to forgo or only incur debt for things it absolutely has to have, especially in the long term, according to Harmon.
A $239,500 fire rescue truck was paid off on Sept. 30, 2006, according to city records. A 2006 Quint fire truck, priced at $493,971 was paid off June 30, 2010. A 2007 Quint fire truck, valued at $496,201, was paid off July 12, 2011.
Fire trucks are a long-term investment. The life of a fire truck is usually 20 to 25 years but some have lasted up to 30, Harmon said. A fire truck is half a million dollars rolling down the road, Harmon said.
The vehicle replacement strategy is to lease-to-own. The condition of each piece of equipment is assessed on an annual basis, Harmon said.
A 1997 bond for the Marguerite H. Brown Municipal Center, which cost the city $6.58 million, was paid off June 1, 2009. A 2002 bond for the Recreation Center, which cost $5 million, was paid off Aug. 17, 2011.

According to a report by Ernie Palladino, Lawerence Tynes has just signed a new deal.
The particulars are 5 yr, 7 million. Now I would say Josh Brown is a better, and more consistent kicker. However, I don't remember him nailing a kick to send the team to a Superbowl. In fact, he missed a pair in the big game. That said, Brown will, and should get more. Hopefully, now that the market is set, his deal will get done soon.
