A lot of people speculate about how the tea parties came to adopt that label. I think I've found what may be the first reference in recent history.
It's in a 2004 book by Kevin Phillips about the Bush family titled "American Dynasty." In a chapter on George H.W. Bush, the author describes how in 1992 the incumbent president faced a primary challenge from conservative Pat Buchanan. In the New Hampshire primary, Buchanan caricatured the patrician president as "King George" and urged voters to "dump his tea in the harbor."
Buchanan went on to lose that challenge, but he never lost his distaste for the Bush family. He ran as a third-party candidate against George W. Bush in 2000 as well. Ironically, Buchanan may have helped put Bush over the top by taking votes from Al Gore in the famed "butterfly ballot" incident in Florida.
What happened next was worse than anything Buchanan had predicted. Buchanan had been labeled an "isolationist" for opposing Bush 41's war on Iraq, but Bush 43 went on to get us bogged down there again, as well as in Afghanistan. Meanwhile he added trillions to the deficit with his expansion of Medicare and other exercises in "compassionate conservatism." And he pushed for yet another immigration amnesty like the one his father had failed to enforce.
And now yet another Bush wants to be president? Reports are that Jeb Bush is making a move to pick up support from the big donors who traditionally back the establishment candidate.
Until those two toll lanes in Fort Lee were shut down in September, Gov. Chris Christie was the front-runner for that role. He appealed to the old Eastern establishment and he could also bluff his way past the tea partiers. Most don't like his politics, but they do like his personality, especially when he would get videotaped yelling at a teacher or union member.
But Christie's fate is now in the hands of a federal grand jury, where it may remain past the rapidly approaching deadline to put together a 2016 run. That left a vacuum and the former Florida governor seems eager to fill it.
Things have changed, however, since his father and brother were running in Republican primaries. Back then, Buchanan was the lone voice calling for a tea party. Now there are millions. And Jeb Bush has made a point of poking them in the eye.
When it comes to immigration, he's not the only prominent Republican calling for some form of amnesty. But he's the only one who wrote a book about it.
And unlike his brother, who did a good job of pretending to be a redneck Texan, John Ellis Bush doesn't act or sound like he's traveled far from the family's Connecticut roots. When he calls illegal immigration "an act of love," you can't help thinking that what he and his business buddies love is cheap labor.
But it's Bush's position in favor of Common Core that really sets right-wingers off.
That one-size-fits-all set of federal education standards is the No. 1 issue among conservatives at the moment, said Rick Shaftan from Sparta, a political consultant and pollster who works a lot of races in the red states.
"Jeb Bush's position on amnesty by itself is not a deal killer, but his position on Common Core is a deal killer," said Shaftan. "There are people who will never vote for him because of it."
Among those people is Carolee Adams, who is the president of the New Jersey chapter of Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum. When I called Adams, she proceeded to embark on a half-hour rant against Common Core.
"With Jeb Bush, we have to do everything in our power to oppose him," Adams said. "He is misguided, confused and out of touch with parents, students, taxpayers and constitutionalists."
He is indeed. But Bush could overcome that with his charm and charisma — if he had any. When I saw him speak last year at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, Bush might have put those in the audience to sleep if they hadn't been having dinner.
There's a saying that goes, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Someone should tell the people pushing Jeb Bush that there's a reason the saying doesn't go to three times.
ADD: Read Richard Viguerie's foolproof plan to end amnesty and Common Core here. Hint: It doesn't involve nominating Jeb Bush.

He worked a 1-2-3 ninth inning in the Tribe's 8-3 loss to Kansas City in the first game of a day-night doubleheader at Progressive Field. Meloan struck out the first two batters and retired Alberto Callaspo on a fly ball to left.
The Indians acquired Meloan on Aug. 26 from the Dodgers as part of the Casey Blake trade. He started for the Dodgers, but the Indians moved him to the bullpen, where he'll compete for a job next year.
"I understood that I'd be limited when I came up," said Meloan. "The last couple of years I've pitched out of the bullpen. This year I've thrown about twice as many innings so they want to be careful.
"It shows me they care about my arm."
The Dodgers made Meloan a starter because they needed depth at the position. He went 5-10 with a 4.79 ERA in 21 games, including 20 starts, at Class AAA Las Vegas. He threw 105 innings, allowing 119 hits and 72 runs. He struck out 99 and walked 60.
Meloan, after being moved to the bullpen in Buffalo, went 0-1 with a 4.30 ERA in 12 games. He allowed eight runs on 12 hits in 14 2/3 innings. He struck out 12 and walked eight.
He made his big-league debut with the Dodgers in 2007, appearing in five games.
"I like it here," said Meloan. "I've been to a few big-league parks, mostly in the NL West. This is a very nice facility.
"The big difference here is the camaraderie. There's a lot of young guys here and everyone gets along. With the Dodgers there were a lot of veterans and a lot of young guys and nothing in between."
Meloan, 24, says he doesn't prefer starting or relieving.
"I just want to get to the big leagues and get established," he said.
Manager Eric Wedge liked how Meloan pitched the ninth.
"It was a good opportunity to get him in there," said Wedge. "He did a fantastic job with his breaking ball."
Said Meloan, pitching in his first game since Sept. l, "I'll take the results. I look at the location and the quality of the pitches. There was some rust on a couple of those pitches."
Meloan throws a fastball, curve, cutter and change up.
Boomerang: Fausto Carmona, upset with his losing performance in the first game, threw his glove and hat into the stands after being removed after 6 1/3 innings and 11 hits.
"I know I shouldn't show my emotions," said Carmona. "That was all me. I wasn't upset about getting taken out of the game. I was just upset about myself."
Carmona tossed his glove and hat into the stands just before stepping into the Tribe's dugout in the seventh.
"I got my glove back," said Carmona, who did not say how it was returned.
Comeback story: Mitch Maier, the Royals' rookie center fielder, singled to start a two-run rally in the third inning of the first game. It was his first at-bat since coming off the disabled list after getting hit in the face with a pitch from the Tribe's Zach Jackson on Aug. 20 at Progressive Field.
Maier suffered three facial fractures and was placed on the disabled list the next day.
Good timing: Kelly Shoppach is one of the few Indians eligible for arbitration this winter. He picked a good year to have his breakout season. Shoppach entered the second game of Saturday's doubleheader hitting .272 (87-for-320) with 53 RBI. He leads AL catchers with 20 homers and ranks third in the big leagues.
Shoppach is making $404,000 this year.
Finally: Asdrubal Cabrera, 2-for-4 in the first game, was hitting .486 (18-for-37) with 12 RBI in his last 12 games.

This set completes the decors we have been able to find so far. This is group detective work! I used the Art Nouveau category because it enables me to identify the maker. Art Deco does not (no "Deco Loetz") Please refer to "Loetz 5220: Part 1" for more information. I have always insisted that identification by shape is as important as identification by decor, since for many of these decors names simply do not exist. It is worth pointing out the the Loetz design catalog is organized by shape, while thebook itslef is organized by decor.

GADSDEN, Alabama -- Christopher Ryan Lee, a 23-year-old Boaz man,died in a motorcycle accident Saturday, but it took almost 12 hours to find his body, the Gadsden Times reports.
Lee's 2010 Yamaha motorcycle was exiting Interstate 59 onto Interstate 759 at 6:15 a.m. Saturday when it hit a wall, went airborne and hit a light pole. Lee's body fell down an embankment, however, and was hidden from passers-by and traffic until it was found shortly after 8 p.m. Saturday.

Jimmy King says Chris Webber's ready to mend fences with the university, and Jalen Rose wants everyone to watch a Michigan NCAA tournament game from a courtside seat.
Apparently, you can also add former Fab Five standout Juwan Howard to the list of people who want to re-connect with the Michigan basketball program.
Howard -- who won an NBA title last season with the Miami Heat -- was not in town over the weekend for Michigan's Crisler Center re-dedication ceremony, but Michigan coach John Beilein says he's been in touch with Howard, and says he badly wants to return to campus and see all the new developments that have gone on around the program.
"Juwan Howard wanted to come back badly, but he had already booked (a vacation) for (NBA) All-Star weekend," Beilein said on his radio show Monday night. "But he'll be back.
"Juwan Howard will be back, he's really excited about coming back."
Michigan welcomed back roughly 120 former players from every decade since the 1960s over the weekend for its special reunion event.
Beilein got to spend time with former greats like Cazzie Russell and Phil Hubbard, and also got to re-connect with more recent players -- like Darius Morris and Zack Novak.
"I didn't know Darius was coming back," Beilein remarked. "I got to talk to them after the game, we talked about the Lakers and his life right now, we're very hopeful right now. He's got to continue to build his brand and where he'll be next year, who knows, but he's a heck of a player."
Beilein also said that on Friday night, the team presented a piece of the old Crisler Arena floor to every player in attendance.
It was a weekend full of smiles and reminiscing, and one Beilein said was desperately needed as the program continues its effort to rebuild a bridge to its past.
"We made the first really big stride to try and bring everybody together this weekend," he said. "We pulled out all the stops. It was terrific.
"I think a lot of healing went on, a lot of re-connection went on. We're all Michigan. … Everybody was really connected, and it was a good thing."

CLEVELAND, Ohio – If Josh Gordon goes down for the third time, it really might be from second-hand smoke, in light of the "teeny-tiny" amounts of marijuana detected in his drug test.
Butch Davis, who once called a crack in quarterback Kelly Holcomb's leg teeny-tiny, always did have a way with words, most of them self-serving, but the wee little adjectives work for the degree of scientific process that was applied in the Gordon case.
It also works for the level of fairness that was achieved when hanging judge and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Gordon, pending appeal.
Losing Gordon for a year, if his appeal fails, could fracture a Browns' season that began with hope when, as always seems to be the case, new personnel were in place in the front office. It proceeded to euphoria with the drafting of Johnny Manziel.
But the effect of losing Gordon is too obvious to be a cause for argument. The NFL's testing procedure makes for plenty of debate in and of itself, anyway.
It is hard to exonerate Gordon, given his two previous busts for substance abuse in the NFL and his history of marijuana violations in college. Still, marijuana is not a performance-enhancing drug and 2014 in American culture is not 1968. Many people, however, seem to believe the opposite.
It is only right in the Gordon case to address the disproportionate penalty, a year's suspension for a third offense, no matter how disputed it might be; and the NFL's flawed testing procedure; and its nearly zero-tolerance standards for positive results, compared to other sports.
As has been pointed out before, the amounts are far smaller than teey-tiny in NFL testing for THC, the chemical substance in marijuana – 15 nanograms (billionths of a gram, an itsy-bitsy quantity abbreviated as "ng's") in every milliliter (thousandth of a liter) in a urine sample. In Major League Baseball and the U.S. Armed Forces it takes 50 ng per milliliter and in the Olympics 150 ng. The NFL standard is 30 percent of the first two and 10 percent of what the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) says constitutes guilt.
It gets worse. Each urine sample is divided in two. In the Olympics, a positive A sample leads to a test of the B sample. Gordon was very slightly (16 ng's) over the extremely low A sample limit. Reports say he was slightly under (13.6 ng's) in the B sample.
With the results combined, he is slightly under the limit.
If the B sample had been labeled the A sample, he is also slightly under the limit.
The ludicrous NFL policy, however, only tests the B sample to see if any of the same illegal substance is present. It does not test for the amount.
It is capricious, with sheer chance determining which sample is labeled A and which B. It is also dependent on the lack of logic of making an arbitrarily selected part outweigh the evidence of the whole.
The NFL purports to hold its players to higher standards than other leagues. This is a belated ploy to improve the perception of a sport that is rife with abnormally big and fast players, but that was never subjected to the outcry that came with the trashing of the baseball record book in the steroid era.
The specifics of Gordon's testing make it one of the most controversial drug cases ever.
The urine specimen of former Ohio State and Akron Hoban quarter miler Butch Reynolds, a silver medalist in the Olympics and former world record holder, was wrongly identified twice in a Paris laboratory's paperwork. The world governing body for track and field incredibly overlooked such negligence to convict and suspend him anyway.
The Milwaukee Brewers' Ryan Braun was allowed to smear the custodian of his urine specimen by alleging its deliberate contamination. Cleared of suspension by a clueless arbitrator, Braun, the National League's Most Valuable Player in 2011, later confessed to doping all along and was again suspended.
The reason the NFL can get away with such unforgiving standards and harsh punishment is simply the supine nature of the players union in pro football.
The NFL Players Association is the union that agreed to a financial settlement of former players' grievances about the effects of the concussions, which a federal judge overturned as inadequate.
Just what kind of a union would bargain away a players' livelihood on such specious grounds as that of Gordon's test, anyway?
Yet the NFLPA did not pursue guidelines for personal conduct. This set the stage for Goodell's ruling that made two games' suspension enough for the Ravens' Ray Rice after his videotaped KO of the woman who is now his wife.It also seriously sullied the NFL's image nationwide.
Ohio State's Urban Meyer, often accused of leniency, gave running back Carlos Hyde a three-game ban last year for a nightclub incident, in which the surveillance tape did not clearly show whether Hyde struck the woman with whom he was arguing or not.
If you want to prove what a he-man you are, the NFL is the league for you. Just keep off the grass.

Golf carts join cars on Coupeville roads
For the Czarnicks of Coupeville, getting around town will soon be cheaper at the pump. They have a street-legal golf cart ready to zip along the roads of the historic town.
Tuesday night, the Coupeville Town Council approved an ordinance allowing the electric vehicles to travel alongside larger vehicles on the roads through the town's one-square-mile of territory.
"We thought it would be a great idea to run around town," Czarnick said.
His wife, Paula, plans to drive their golf cart from their home near the Island County campus a few blocks to her job at a law firm on Front Street.
The public hearing process concerning the ordinance started in December, but it was continued until January. Island County Sheriff Mark Brown came forward to voice safety concerns about slower and smaller vehicles on the roads. He urged the town to include language requiring headlights and blinkers on golf carts.
The Town Council agreed and tabled the proposal for a month to make alterations to the regulations. People wishing to use the small electric vehicle inside town limits must pay a $25 registration fee in addition to meeting other rules of the ordinance.
It's no problem for Czarnick, who made alterations to his golf cart months ago that make it more visible to drivers.
"If you're out playing with the cars, it just seemed like the sensible thing to do," Czarnick said.
He purchased a 1995 Yamaha golf cart, which already had painted flames on the font, in the fall of 2011. He installed blinkers, seatbelts and a voltage meter. He said he spent $1,500 for the cart and another $300 to $400 on the lights and gauges for his vehicle.
The Coupeville Town Council unanimously approved the new ordinance during its Tuesday evening meeting.
Coupeville isn't the only community on Whidbey Island where residents want to drive golf carts on public roads. Beverly Beach, located near Freeland, wants the Board of Island County Commissioners to establish a golf cart zone in the waterfront community.
Transportation Planner Donna Keeler said the proposal is currently going through legal review and it is scheduled to be presented to the commissioners Jan. 23 at 2:15 p.m.
Golf carts are a growing trend on public roads. In addition to Whidbey Island, Orting, Liberty Lake and Douglas County are a few of the jurisdictions in Washington state that have golf cart zones.
Even though Coupeville's ordinance was approved, it will be several weeks before it can take effect. Golf carts officially become legal Wednesday, Feb. 1. Mayor Nancy Conard said the time is needed to produce and place signs throughout town informing motorists about the ordinance. In addition, decals have to be made available and a registration system has to be developed.

Promoting animal support with vino
Wine, Wags and Whiskers to benefit Kitsap Humane Society.
Sampling wines and supporting dogs, cats and other creatures will go hand-in-hand April 18.
Kitsap Humane Society (KHS) will host Wine, Wags and Whiskers from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, April 18 at the Silverdale Beach Hotel. The annual event typically rakes in about $6,000 for KHS. Events coordinator Kate Justice said she hopes to do well this year.
She said there are about 100 tickets still available for this year's event. If purchased before April 13, tickets are $40 per person and $50 per person after April 13.
"There's still plenty of room," Justice said.
Several local wineries plan to share their wines at Wine, Wags and Whiskers. Fairwinds Winery, Bainbridge Island Winery and Vineyards, Hoodsport Winery and Thurston Wolfe Winery will provide wines and Silver City Restaurant and Brewery staff will be on-hand to pour a selection of brews.
"The Portable Reality Show," a local improv group, will provide the entertainment at the KHS event.
"It'll be really fun. We're really excited about it," Justice said.
Aside from wine sampling and comedic entertainment, a silent auction highlights Wine, Wags and Whiskers. KHS Development Manager Dana Lerma said there are lots of baskets up for grabs. Auction items range from cat-related items to handmade patchwork quilts to cookbooks.
Wine, Wags and Whiskers attendees also will be able to participate in a dessert raffle. Lerma said everything from apple cakes to chocolates will be available.
"Volunteers will be making delicious desserts," Lerma said. "There will be a real variety of desserts available."
Justice said money raised through ticket sales, the silent auction and dessert raffle goes back into the humane society's general fund and pays for necessities like the animals' food and vaccines as well as the upkeep of the animal shelter.
"It goes right back into the care of the building and animals," Justice said.
While there are plenty of tickets available, Justice encourages people to purchase their Wine, Wags and Whiskers tickets as soon as possible.
"It's a cheap way to have fun and it's a benefit for the animals," she said. "It's going to be a lot of fun."

Officiating over the weekend at major midget Atlantics didn't really get a positive review.
Spectators, players and teams were a little upset over how things went throughout the weekend. It wasn't so much the calls being made – although that was the case sometimes – it was the ones that weren't.
One of the standout calls of the weekend came during Sunday's final when it appeared Saint John Vitos forward Jean-Michel Leblanc had tied the game 5-5 with the Halifax McDonalds. It was initially called a goal, but after a lengthy discussion they took it back.
Unfortunately this came with 3:51 left in regulation and the Vitos were unable to pot another goal as Halifax punched their ticket to the Telus Cup in Moose Jaw, Sask. from April 21-27.
Personally I was behind the play, so all I saw was Leblanc going towards the net, but the official on the goal-line called it a good goal. It was someone behind the play that helped call it back. That is where the issue comes. It would be like the second-base umpire in baseball calling someone out at home plate – it just doesn't make sense.
Alas, that's just the way it is sometimes in sport. We're all human.
After the game, there were infuriated people off the ice that I'm sure would've loved to tell the referees what they thought with words that shouldn't be printed, but when Leblanc had the chance to comment he didn't.
Although there were a few other calls made that raised eyebrows, a few non-calls midway through the Weeks Major Midgets game against Halifax did the same. Connor MacLaughlin took two high hits directly in front of an official, the first of which caused him to stay down for roughly 30 seconds.
When he got back up he didn't go looking for an official or a penalty. He simply got back into the play. Other players may have gone looking for the call, but he battled through it.
In a similar situation to Leblanc, he didn't comment on the hits with regards to them being a penalty, simply that he just had to fight to get back into the play.
There seems to be a problem here. I understand the blurb the timekeeper reads before the game about the officials having the training and knowledge to do their job and the coaches are teaching the skills of the game to these players, but what that says to me is that we're to trust these four men or women.
So, when MacLaughlin got hit in the head, that trust was shaken. Two officials on the ice, one five feet away and there was no call. Both he and his coaches trust the officials to protect the players on the ice.
Leblanc may have said it best, although most would not be so calm about it.
"It was the referee's decision (calling his goal off) and they don't always make the best decision, but they're human," he said in a report by the Telegraph-Journal.
Now there are two sides to the coin.
One is angry fans, parents or players yelling at these officials, which in some ways could be considered bullying. The other is that the officials very rarely have to answer for a call that is made or not made. I've tried to ask officials about calls over the years, but get the same response – they can't or won't comment.
Yes, there are debriefs with head officials after games, as there was Sunday following the Atlantic Major Midget Hockey Championship final, but that's where the discussion ends. There is rarely, if anything more, than what happens in those closed door meetings.
For instance, Sunday night in the Weeks Crushers game against the Truro Bearcats, the third goal given to the Bearcats never actually went past the goal-line. On the ice the official said it went in the net and came instantly back out.
Fans were irate, as were the Crushers players and staff. There was a lot of passion being shown by the spectators that night as it was, but that goal took things to another level.
Afterwards the officials took their exit quietly out of the facility, but didn't have to answer for their decision on the ice. People are wrong from time-to-time and that's fine because we're all human, but when 10 Crusher 20-year-olds are left with a bad taste in their mouths knowing that helped end their season, it doesn't help that nobody answers for their decision.
The system will never be perfect at this level, but there should to be a discussion about how it could work better. This isn't the first time something like this has happened and it won't be the last.
Both sides have their points.
The last thing a young official needs when he's refereeing a atom or bantam game is a screaming parent telling him he's a f---ing idiot and needs to open his eyes. You won't have any officials in a few years if all the up and coming ones are scared off. In that regard, I don't believe an official learning the game should have to answer to an upset parent.
That said, when a junior A team's season or midget Atlantic championship has an official's call play a part in the outcome of it, there should be more said than what is behind a closed door.

Winter League Highlights: Cubs carry Estrellas to win
(Photo by Stephen Green)
The Estrellas de Oriente of the Dominican league don't have a shot at reaching the best-of-seven league finals, which take place later this month, but they're still playing for pride. On Tuesday, it was a trio of Cubs prospects leading the charge in the Estrellas' 7-6 victory.
In the third inning, Cubs outfielder Nelson Perez reached on a walk and later advanced to third on a pair of singles by Ray Olmedo and Eliezer Mesa. The 25-year-old was then driven in on a sacrifice fly to make it 3-0. He stepped up again in the fourth and ripped a home run to right field to give his side a 5-0 lead. Perez was 1-for-3 with a walk, a homer, an RBI and two runs scored.
But Perez wasn't the only Cubs prospect to contribute. Junior Lake drove in a run of his own on a single in the third inning and finished the day 1-for-4.
Not to be outdone, Cubs reliever Rafael Dolis was awarded the victory. The right-hander pitched a scoreless eighth inning, striking out one.
The Estrellas are statistically eliminated, as they sit four games out of second place with only two games remaining. The two squads with the best records will square off in the finals next week.
Other notes around the Caribbean:
Luis Valbuena went 2-for-4 with two RBI, a walk and a run scored for the Cardenales of the Venezuelan league.

FREEHOLD – A 34-year-old woman was charged Thursday with stealing money from the Millstone golf course where she worked, the prosecutor's office announced.
Jackson resident Carol Hobbs, 34, would change transactions at Charleston Springs Golf Course to make it look like a golfer received a refund, and she would keep the money, said Acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni. The golfer would not request a refund or receive any money back.
Gramiccioni said an audit from September to December in 2012 revealed that Hobbs embezzled more than $3,000. While working at the course as a golf ranger, she was responsible for collecting green fees, working the pro shop's cash register and managing the golfers' schedule to start their rounds, he said.
Hobbs was charged with third-degree theft and was being held at the Monmouth County Correctional Institution in lieu of $5,000 bail.

By show of hands, who talks on the phone anymore?
Last week, the New York Times ran a piece by Pamela Paul titled "Don't Call Me, I Won't Call You" that explores how phone calls have all but disappeared from our lives, having become extraneous and bothersome in a world of email, social networking and, of course, texting.
She writes:
It's at the point where when the phone does ring — and it's not my mom, dad, husband or baby sitter — my first thought is: "What's happened? What's wrong?" My second thought is: "Isn't it weird to just call like that? Out of the blue? With no e-mailed warning?"
I don't think it's just me. Sure, teenagers gave up the phone call eons ago. But I'm a long way away from my teenage years, back when the key rite of passage was getting a phone in your bedroom or (cue Molly Ringwald gasp) a line of your own.
This of course begs the Jack Shafer question: Is this a real trend or a bogus one? Any sentient reader will recognize that the New York Times Fashion & Style section, which is where this story appeared, is to trumped-up trends pretty much as clouds are to rain. (Sorry, my analogy generator's busted today.)
Paul does point out spending on phone calls, according to Nielsen Media, is on the decline. Otherwise, the piece is anecdotal -- so-and-so says he/she hardly ever talks on the phone. Why? "Phone calls are rude. Intrusive. Awkward." They waste our time, test our patience, stretch the bounds of etiquette. Can't we just do away with them?
That's what I've done for the past week. It wasn't intentional, but as a result I've come to appreciate a world without a ringing phone.
Back story: I broke my cellular phone, which I'd never bothered to insure, and my service company, which shall remain nameless, informs me I am two weeks away from being eligible for an upgrade. My options, then, are to 1) buy a new phone now at full, outrageous price, 2) connect an old phone to my account or 3) just wait it out.
Option 1 is unacceptable. Option 2 is harder than I would have thought. The only discarded phone I could find at home came in a leather bag and was about the size of a loaf of bread, something Zack Morris might have used on "Saved By the Bell." And the representative at my local Verizon store (whoops) kind of stared blankly when I asked if they had "loaners."
So I settled on Option 3 – a bold (by ridiculously low standards) experiment in modern-communication abstinence. Or something. Which has turned out, for a person with an Internet connection, to be not much of a lifestyle disruption at all.
I'll admit the first couple of days were characterized by persistent anxiety. What are my friends doing? Is work trying to reach me? What if there's a family emergency? How will I know when to go to band practice? How will people know I exist if I can't respond to texts or calls? Is there something awesome going on right this second that I don't know about? Who killed John F. Kennedy, I mean REALLY?
By the third day, however, I'd grown to enjoy the quiet and am convinced I can complete the two weeks. Besides, as Dana Albarella James points out this week in the Awl, a cell-free existence comes with benefits -- habitual punctuality, self-reliance, the freedom afforded by the ability to disconnect, not getting brain cancer, etc. I'll add to that list: not being one of those people. Ever want to punch a friend who sits across a table and barely makes eye contact because they're transfixed by the the hypnotic glow of their superphone?
The downsides of this vacation from constant availability? I suppose if I get arrested for something, I'll have to call my parents for bail, because that's one of the only numbers I have memorized. And if there's a real emergency, it'll mean finding a payphone. (I'm curious how up to date this list is. I bet not very.)
Writing this, I'm fully aware of how silly it probably sounds to suggest a two-week cellphone blackout is some great harrowing ordeal. I can already hear the voice of Louis CK telling me to quit whining, so I'll give him the last word:
Email Troy Reimink or follow him on Twitter.

Hans Globke
|Hans Globke
|Hans Josef Maria Globke
10 September 1898
Düsseldorf, Germany
|13 February 1973(aged 74)
|Lawyer, politician
|Known for
|Advisor to Konrad Adenauer
|Political party
|Roman Catholic
|Augusta Vaillant
Hans Josef Maria Globke (10 September 1898 – 13 February 1973) was a high-ranking public servant after World War II in the Federal Republic of Germany. His antisemitic activities as a high-profile civil servant and jurist before and especially during the Nazi period resulted in controversies after the war that troubled his protector and only supervisor Konrad Adenauer, who had recruited him to serve in his administration.
Early life and studies[edit]
Globke was born in Düsseldorf, Rhine Province, to Josef Globke, and his wife, Sophie (née Erberich), both Roman Catholics and Centre Party-supporters. Shortly after Hans's birth, the family moved to Aachen, where his father opened a draper's shop. When he finished his secondary education at the elite Catholic Kaiser-Karl-Gymnasium in 1916, he was drafted into the army until 1918. After World War I, he studied law and political science at the University of Bonn and the University of Cologne, graduating in 1922 from the University of Gießen with a dissertation on the immunity of the members of the Reichstag and the Landtags.
During his studies, he joined, while still in the army, the Katholische Deutsche Studentenverbindung Bavaria Bonn the Bonn chapter of the Cartellverband, the German Catholic Students' Federation. His close contacts with fellow KdStV members and with his membership from 1922 in the Catholic Centre Party played a significant role in his later political life.
Pre-World War II service and Nazi activity[edit]
Having finished his Assessorexamen in 1924, he was briefly active as a judge in the police court of Aachen, after which he climbed to vice police-chief of Aachen in 1925 and Regierungsassessor in 1926. In December 1929, Globke entered the Higher Civil Service at the Prussian Ministry of the Interior.
In November 1932, about two months before right-wing parties made Hitler chancellor, Globke wrote a set of rules to make it harder in Prussia for Germans of Jewish ancestry to change their last names to less recognizably Jewish names, and he followed up with guidelines for its implementation in December 1932.
He helped to formulate the Enabling Act of 1933, the law that effectively gave Adolf Hitler dictatorial powers. He was also the author of the law of 10 July 1933 concerning the dissolution of the Prussian State Council and of further legislation that 'co-ordinated' all Prussian parliamentary bodies.[1]
He coauthored both the official legal commentary on the new Reich Citizenship Law, one of the Nuremberg Laws introduced at the Nazi Party Congress in September 1935, which revoked the citizenship of German Jews[1][2] and various legal regulations, such as an ordinance that required Jews with non-Jewish names to take on the additional first names of Israel or Sara, an "improvement" of public records that later facilitated to a great extent the rounding up and deportation of the Jews during the Holocaust.[3] He also served as chief legal advisor in the Office for Jewish Affairs in the Ministry of Interior, the section headed by Adolf Eichmann that implemented the Holocaust bureaucratically.[4]
In 1938, Globke was appointed Ministerialrat (Deputy Director) for his "extraordinary efforts in drafting the law for the Protection of the German Blood". On 25 April 1938, Globke was praised by the Reich Interior Minister Dr. Wilhelm Frick as "the most capable and efficient official in my ministry" when it came to drafting anti-Semitic laws.[5]
His membership application for the Nazi Party was rejected on 24 October 1940 by Martin Bormann, reportedly because of his former membership in the Centre Party, which represented Roman Catholic voters in Weimar Germany.[6]
Globke maintained contacts with figures in the German anti-Nazi resistance, notably Bishop Konrad von Preysing, and according to postwar testimony by Jakob Kaiser, he had been slated for a ministerial position in a government led by Carl Goerdeler if the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler had succeeded.
Post-World War II public service and controversy[edit]
At the Nuremberg trials, he appeared at the Ministries Trial as a witness for both the prosecution and the defense. Notably, when interrogated in the trial of his former superior Wilhelm Stuckart, he said explicitly: "Ich wußte, daß die Juden massenweise umgebracht wurden." ("I knew, that the Jews were being put to death en masse.")
He was Director of the Federal Chancellory of West Germany between 1953 and 1963 and as such was one of the closest aides to Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. As Adenauer and everyone else knew of his previous career, the Chancellor could be assured of his absolute loyalty. Adenauer himself reportedly said: "Man schüttet kein schmutziges Wasser weg, solange man kein sauberes hat" ("One does not throw out dirty water so long as one does not have any clean water.")
Globke's key position as a national security advisor to Adenauer, despite his known involvement with the Nuremberg Laws, made both the West German government and CIA officials wary of exposing his past. That led for instance to the withholding of Adolf Eichmann's alias from the Israeli government and Nazi hunters in the late 1950s and CIA pressure in 1960 on Life magazine to delete references to Globke from its recently obtained Eichmann memoirs.[7][8][9]
In 1963, Globke's past became an embarrassment for the Adenauer government, as he was given a life sentence in absentia at a trial in East Germany. Gertruda Sekaninová-Čakrtová, a Czech-Jewish lawyer and politician, testified at that trial.[10]

Spending a bit of downtime traveling the world, New Zealand rugby star Dan Carter has ventured over to Augusta National to take in the Masters. As is typical for a man in his sport, Carter made his way to the gym Monday, where he ran into another sporting legend: Rory McIlroy.
Just a former golf world No. 1 with arguably the best player on the world's best rugby team.
Not a bad bloke to run into at the gym today. Good luck this week @McIlroyRory #Masters2014 pic.twitter.com/OxuJexMro9
— Dan Carter (@DanCarter) April 7, 2014
We're assuming McIlroy was about done with his workout.
Anyway, Carter stars for the All Blacks, which is New Zealand's national rugby union squad and the reigning world champions. You know, the guys who do the haka (Carter is No. 10):
Carter is a fly-half, which is sort of like a basketball point guard in that he's crucial in passing and directing the team, and he's also the squad's goal kicker. In those roles he's become the all-time leading international scorer, having amassed 1,440 points over 100 matches in his career, nearly 200 points more than England's Jonny Wilkinson.
And Carter is also a golf fan. He made his way onto a course while in Hong Kong a couple weeks ago:

Other stops over the past month in the jet-setting life of Carter: Melbourne, Australia; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Macau, China; and New York City. Life is tough.

John Williams, Michael Giacchino, Chemical Brothers nominated by film music critics
I'd like to humbly make a (self-serving) request of the International Film Music Critics Association. Bump your announcement up by a couple of weeks. Granted, you don't speak for composers, so your annual announcement of the best in film music doesn't necessarily indicate anything. But in a category with precious little in the way of precursor suggestion, every little bit helps.
This year's list of nominees was predictably dominated, however, by John Williams, who landed seven nominations across the various categories for his two Oscar-nominated scores: "The Adventures of Tintin" and "War Horse." Not too far back with five nods was "The Artist" composer Ludovic Bource.
Third was Michael Giacchino, who landed a nomination each for "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" and "Super 8" and was singled out in the Film Composer of the Year category as well. And Howard Shore had a decent showing for "Hugo," popping up twice.
Interestingly, though he was spotlighted in the Composer of the Year field, Alexandre Desplat's work only showed up once, as "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" was nominated in one of the genre fields. Nothing for "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close," "A Better Life," "Carnage" or "The Ides of March." What gives?
Winners will be announced on February 23. Recent champions in the Film Score of the Year category include "How to Train Your Dragon," "Up," "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "Atonement," "Lady in the Water," "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "The Incredibles."
Check out the full list of nominees below, and as always, remember to keep track of the ups and downs of the 2011-2012 film awards season via The Circuit.

It seems as if we just opened and now it is almost time to close.
We finally got open on April 23 and just for 9 holes (after the flooding). I am looking back on the year and trying to figure out what we did right, what we did wrong and what we can do to improve for next year. Slow play, green speed and where is the refreshment cart seem to be the biggest concerns.
I was thinking about some of these things just the other night when the television started to cover a story on our young men and women fighting in Afganistan (yes it is a war!). I felt very uncomfortable as I watched them hike up a mountain knowing that any place ahead could be a bomb or the enemy sighting in on them with weapons. I am sitting in my living room and I can change the channel if it gets to hard to watch, but our soldiers cannot. They are there protecting us against enemies that want to destroy us.
I remember being at the golf course that horrible day 9/11. We were all glued to the set in the 19th Hole. I am not smart enough to figure out all that is going on in the world, but we have to try and do the best we can and support our men and women that are risking there lives so we can enjoy the free life here at home. I carry some guilt as I did not serve in the military. If I could rewind the clock I sure would.
So to wind up my last article of the year - thank you to all of you who serve and have served our country, the veterans and the men and women of the Armed Forces. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Your families that sacrifice are also in those same thoughts and prayers. May God bless all of you and keep you safe.
Tip of the winter - Keep off the couch (except to watch golf!) and try and work on keeping your flexibility.
Rule of the winter - Great time to browse the USGA Rule Book!
Schedule - Monday Oct. 19, closed one day for snowmold spraying, weather permitting. Spring is just 153 days away! Nov. 1 will be the last day of the season.
Quote of the winter - "War-tiime, in which there is so little golf and none of it serious, is well adapted to looking back at peace-time, when there was so much and so desperately solemn: when short putts missed were really tragic and life's chief ambition was the mastering of the swing 'from the inside out.' It is easier to see the wood for the trees." - From the book by Bernard Darwin "Golf Between Two Wars: 1944 Publishers, Chatto & Windus, London.
Keep it in the fairway.

Florida: The Sunshine State
We made it to our final state! As soon as we crossed the state border from Georgia, we couldn't wait to spend 3 fun-filled days in sunny Florida. Our first stop was Amelia Island, a picturesque town perfect for some laid-back shopping. We loved the quaint shops and took a nice al fresco coffee break to enjoy the atmosphere around us.
From Amelia Island, we took a ferry to Jacksonville. We were there in under an hour, and headed straight to St. John's Town Center for some much-needed shopping. It was the biggest mall we had ever been to! It's so big they even provide free transportation for customers. We checked out as many stores as we could, from Tiffany's to Target, and each picked up some great souvenirs and gifts before heading on to our next stop.
It was time for lunch after our shopping extravaganza, so we headed to the Azurea Restaurant at One Ocean Resort. Talk about luxury! The resort had soft music playing in every corner, and each room had a beautiful ocean view. We ordered some of the freshest seafood we've ever had, including ahi tuna and fresh-caught grouper.
Just an hour south of the hotel, we arrived at St. Augustine, the oldest city in the country. We took a carriage tour of the city, and got a wonderful history lesson. Not only is St. Augustine the oldest continuously occupied European city in the U.S., but its Castillo de San Marcos fort is practically indestructible. The fort was built to protect the city from British and pirate attacks, and it's made out of a softer material that absorbed cannonballs instead of succumbing to them. We didn't even know that was possible!
After our carriage tour, we made our way to our hotel for the night, the Bayfront Marin House Bed and Breakfast. We fell in love with it as soon as we saw it! The incredible little inn had beautiful colonial-inspired architecture and décor. We loved the wraparound porches, and could see ourselves wasting many lazy afternoons there. Bonus: we were greeted with free drinks and appetizers the second we walked in.
Dinnertime came around, so we walked over to the Old City House Inn & Restaurant. This was one of the best restaurants of the whole trip! We loved meeting the amazing Polish chef, who prepared a beautifully presented meal for us. We dined on chicken and pork mousse, carpaccio, rack of lamb, and beef tenderloin. We couldn't stop eating, and every dish was more incredible than the last. It goes without saying that this was the perfect way to end our first day in Florida. We were definitely ready for more!

EASTON, Pa. — An 86-year-old Easton woman lost both legs after she was pinned beneath a garbage truck. Grace Steckel is in serious condition at St. Luke's Hospital in Bethlehem.
The accident happened about 1:30 p.m. Wednesday as the truck pulled out of a Northampton Street business. Steckel was out for a walk when she became trapped under the back tires. The truck is owned by Herceg Hauling in Lower Nazareth Township. Police are investigating. Lt. David Beitler says speed and alcohol did not play a role, nor did police find any mechanical problems with the truck.

The Minnesota State Mavericks football team issued a statement Thursday saying they will return to spring practice for the coach they boycotted earlier in the week.
According to a story from The Associated Press, the team ended the boycott of spring practice they started Wednesday when former head coach Todd Hoffner returned to campus.
Hoffner was fired from the school after he was charged in 2012 with having child pornography on his university-issued cellphone. He was reinstated as head coach at Minnesota State Mankato this week after he was cleared of the charges.
"As a team, we are ready to get back to playing football," junior defensive back Sam Thompson and sophomore wide receiver Kyle Riggott said in a statement.
"We received the answers we were looking for, feel fit to practice and welcome Coach Hoffner as we head toward the end of spring drills," the players said after the team meeting. They will return to practice Friday.
According to the story, a report from an arbitrator cleared Hoffner of viewing what was deemed child porn, photos of his children following a bath, on his work computer and letting his wife use the device.

Feb. 28 (Bloomberg) — Romania may cut incentives granted for investments in renewable energy by lowering the number of the so-called "green certificates" and limiting their maximum value beginning in July, Ziarul Financiar reported today.
The government may cut the number of the certificates granted for every megawatt-hour of power produced from wind to 1 or 1.5 from 2, for solar power to 3.5 from 6, and for power produced from biomass to 1.6 certificates from 2, the Bucharest- based newspaper said, citing an unpublished draft law.
Romania also plans to limit the maximum value of the certificates to 30 euros ($39) from the current 55 euros and maintain their minimum value at 27 euros, Ziarul Financiar said.

If Beanie Sigel Calls Kanye West a Queer Who Takes It In the Rear, Does It Make a Sound?
Beanie Sigel, the Philly-born rapper, has spent the last few years beating up on Jay-Z, who he used to be BFFs with after Jay signed him to Roc-A-Fella Records. But now Beanie is turning his attention to Kanye West, riffing on a Jay-Z single to call the flamboyant and obnoxious rapper a homo. Snap!
Revamping Jay's song "Haters," Beanie rhymes:
Middle finger up to Jay'eeerrr
I don't give a f*ck about Ye'eerrr
Wanna know, I think Ye Queeer
He dress gayeeeer, I sweearr
I heard he takes it in his reeeearr
You should know by now I don't caaarrre
Bitter! And such a far cry from when Beanie was saving Kanye from getting robbed.
WOW!! Stop the presses!!! NEWS FLASH: Rapper makes homophobic statement. Nothing new here.
Laugh, I Nearly shat.
I can't see that thuggish, Rap bling look without thinking of the wonderful Stephen Fry comment on Never Mind the Buzzocks.
"Hippity Hoppity Brigade"
Well, Kanye has proven himself to be an egomaniac whose sense of self is warped by reality. So anyone who makes fun of that Queen is ok by me.
Both are ugly black men. Ugly inside and out. We should take away their civil rights and put them back on cotton farms.
I've had it with their homophobia and their selfish attitude to civil rights.
Beans has been the subject of gay rumors for years now…
@jason: Your a racist idiot and no better than a homophobe.

Work began Monday to fill a large sinkhole that opened up in a busy shopping center in Berks County last week.
An engineer and a contracting crew dug deep to repair the sinkhole that swallowed part of the parking lot in the Exeter Commons shopping center in Exeter Township.
"First, we have to remove the asphalt to try and see where the actual throat of the sinkhole is and from there we can start peeling back the asphalt," said Don Kellenberger, of Kellenberger Excavating LLC.
Several parking spaces caved in when the hole opened up early Thursday morning in front of the Moe's Southwest Grill restaurant. This year, Cinco de Mayo has been dubbed "sinkhole de Moes."
"Across the brand itself, it's our busiest time, so it was concerning, but I think our fans are going to respond," said Travis Odom, owner of the restaurant chain's location in Exeter Township.
Odom first thought the hole would sink business on the restaurant's busiest day of the year, so the chain took to social media to make a joke about it. The restaurant chain messaged its Twitter followers a link to the WFMZ.com story with the message, "Moe's debates making their Homewrecker burritos smaller after huge sinkhole occurs. We call it sinkholedemoes." They also posted pictures on their Facebook page.
"As a business owner, you get things tossed at you every day. Life gives you lemons, you make lemonade out of it," said Odom, who added business was booming.
The publicity has generated quite a bit of interest in onlookers visiting the sinkhole and taking photos of themselves in front of it, prompting officials over the weekend to expand the safety perimeter as a precaution.
Officials still haven't determined what caused the cave-in, but they believe weather played a role.
"We had an extreme winter with the frost the deepest it's been in years and then the heavy rains here last week," said Kellenberger.
Crews are expected to lower cameras into the hole to determine if the pipes are cracked or leaking, which will help determine an exact cause. The work is expected to last for two weeks.
Another sinkhole opened on the opposite end of the parking lot in 2010, a year after the shopping center opened.

GLEN ROCK — A student at Glen Rock High School has been charged with selling heroin, police said.
According to a statement from Police Chief Frederick Stahman, 18-year-old Tristan Rodas was arrested without incident at the school on Tuesday.
The arrest came after a "lengthy" investigation by borough police and a narcotics task force with the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office.
A recent search of Rodas' bedroom uncovered marijuana, drug paraphernalia and a large amount of cash, Stahman said. Rodas also allegedly involved an underage friend in at least one of his drug transactions.
He is charged with two counts of distributing heroin, two counts of possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of less than 50 grams of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and employing a juvenile in the commission of a crime.
After his arrest, he was taken to the Bergen County Jail, where he remained held on $100,000 bond as of today, according to sheriff's records.

LeMoyne College's move from Division I to Division II in baseball is at least paying off in regard to preseason expectations.
After years of virtually being ignored at the Division I level, the Dolphins, competing in Division II for the first time since 1987, have been ranked 24th nationally. They're picked to finish second in the Northeast-10 Conference, behind Southern Connecticut State.
LeMoyne will be tested early. It opens its season Saturday with a doubleheader at Mount Olive, N.C. The Trojans, ranked No. 5 nationally, advanced to the national semifinals last season
After 19 scheduled games on the road, LeMoyne's home opener is scheduled for March 24 against Merrimack.
The Dolphins' move to Division II was precipitated by its ouster from the Metro Athletic Conference a few years ago. No other Division I conference would take the Dolphins as a baseball-only school and the college's board of directors voted to move back to Division II as opposed to competing in Division I in all sports.
"It is exciting to have something to play for again," head coach Scott Cassidy said. "All these kids here have not been part of a conference and therefore have not had a chance to play for postseason. We are already seeing the benefits of being nationally ranked, and the guys are excited to climb the polls."
With team success should come some individual recognition as well, Cassidy said.
"We can have kids once again be recognized for what they do on the field with postseason awards. We can play for conference, regional, and national championships and be recognized along the way," Cassidy said.
LeMoyne has a successful track record in Division II. The Dolphins went 340-103-1 and appeared in 11 NCAA tournaments in 15 years under former coach Dick Rockwell as a Division II member from 1973 through 1987.
Since LeMoyne recently in Division I as recently as last season, its roster is filled with Division-I caliber players, including eight returning starting position players and two starting pitchers from last year's 23-30 squad that posted wins over three teams from power-six conferences — Missouri, Penn State and Boston College.
Offensively, the Dolphins are led by senior center fielder Brett Botsford, from Baldwinsville, who batted .311 last year with a team-high 61 hits, 13 doubles, 20 stolen bases and 41 runs scored as a starter in all 53 games.
"I look for great things from Brett this season," Cassidy said. "I think he will be one of the better all-around players in the country with his ability to hit, steal bases, and play exceptional defense."
Senior third baseman Matt Marra (Central Square), hit .247 with 11 doubles and nine stolen bases. Junior shortstop Ryan Mahoney (Cicero-North Syracuse) hit .292 with a team-high six home runs and 31 runs batted in while scoring 39 runs and stealing nine bases.
Sophomore Pat Wiese (CBA) is back in center field after battling through some nagging injuries last year. "When he's healthy, Pat provides great at-bats at the top of the order and is a table setter for the middle guys to drive in," Cassidy said.
Senior left-hander Mike Anarumo leads the pitching staff after going 4-1 with a 4.59 ERA last season. Anarumo was drafted by the Oakland Athletics in the 21st round in 2010, but decided to return to LeMoyne as he recovered from arm surgery.
"Mike has really worked hard at becoming a good pitcher," Cassidy said. "He has looked great inside so far this spring and I am looking forward to what he can do as a full-time starter."
Senior right-hander Ed Kohout struck out 56 batters in 59Ð innings, both as a starter and reliever, junior right-hander Derek Zielinski (3-4, 5.20 ERA last season) and senior lefty Mark Kuzma (3-6, 4.53) should provide depth.
Also in the mix is junior right-hander Kevin Carroll (Jamesville), a former catcher who converted to a pitcher as a freshman. "He looks to be a legitimate major-league prospect with a fastball that is 89 to 93 mph and a very good slider," Cassidy said of Carroll.
Marra likely will be used as a closer.
"We are a much better team right now than we were at this time last year," Cassidy said. "The pitchers have good arm strength and are throwing strikes, and the hitters are putting together great at bats. Our defense which has benefited from being able to get outside several times already has looked very solid."
