text: Lunch with a Leader: Quentin Hart Posted on May 09, 2016 Second in a series of pieces for the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier: "Lunch with a Leader," this one with Quentin Hart, the first African-American mayor of Waterloo, Iowa. He's just three months into the office, and seems like a natural leader in every way, as explained in the article. It appeared in today's Waterloo Courier--Monday, May 9. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "My life parallels what Waterloo went through from the 80s to now," Mayor Hart insisted during our lunch. "I was lost and down in the 80s, came back from my mistakes, learned from great teachers and mentors, figured out who I was, and moved ahead." That's what happened to his beloved Waterloo, from the sharp downturn of the 80s, to the soul searching of the 90s, to the rebuilding of the city beginning in 2000 with the riverfront and downtown, to the current citywide revitalization. "Capital investment for January and February is up to 24 million, where in the last two years it was only five to seven million" he said, with more than a touch of pride. Pride in the city, but never a prideful ego. He's a humble man, readily offering gratitude for his many influences, from his parents to Walter Cunningham to Bernice Richards, to Michael Coleman, pastor of the Antioch Baptist Church. No trace of self-aggrandizement showed in anything he said or did. "I can't think of anything I've done completely on my own. It was always because people supported and influenced me positively along the way. I needed that." We talked during a Monday lunch, and I had heard his "State of the City" address the Friday before at the Walter Cunningham School for Excellence. That night I attended the Waterloo City Council meeting. I'd call that a crash course in getting to know Waterloo's first African American mayor, whom I had never met. I saw a man who's a natural fit for doing exactly what he's doing: Leading a major Iowa city in new directions based on cooperation and collaboration. At Hart's "State of the City" address, I noticed Cedar Falls Mayor Jim Brown wasn't just in attendance, he was sitting on the stage with Mayor Hart. The cities' new mayors hadn't met before the election. Now they're good friends, sharing a belief in the Cedar Valley as one of the potentially most prosperous areas of Iowa. That's their determined goal and shared vision. "When we work together, everything starts to happen," Hart insists, and from what I saw, Cedar Falls' Mayor Brown agrees completely. I also noticed that Hart seems comfortable speaking at large meetings, leading complex City Council meetings, or just eating lunch offering his take on the mayor's role in city government. He's focused, confident, and totally optimistic, which is infectious. And he glows with charisma. At his speech, he had the audience of school kids and citizens in the palm of his hand, listening intently to every word. When he spoke of why we should be careful what we say about our city because "our kids are listening," everyone nodded approval. "You can't improve a city with its own citizens bad-mouthing it." At the city council meeting, I was downright flabbergasted when he warmly introduced Justin Scott, an atheist, who had requested that he give the invocation. Scott spoke about how justice and equality have nothing to do with the supernatural, and offered his good wishes to the City Council without regard to religious preference. Talk about ecumenical. Shortly thereafter, a group of Scott's fellow atheists gathered around Hart as he proclaimed May 5 to be a "National Day of Reason" on the same day as a "National Prayer Day" for believers. Equal time for all. Hart seemed not only unfazed by all this, but downright comfortable and welcoming. That level of inclusiveness was both unusual and admirable, and much appreciated by the freethinkers. This, from a man who said grace before our lunch. He's a man of faith, but he takes the U.S. Constitution seriously. Hart articulated his own vision for the city at lunch. "I'm working to be not just the best Black mayor, but the best mayor of all the city. It's not about me—it's about getting people working together to improve the community and solve problems." He knows that some Waterloo citizens might worry that he would favor the black community at the expense of the white citizens, "I'm working for everyone, and I'm familiar with our neighborhoods' needs. But it won't happen overnight." Mayor Hart listed a series of recent initiatives: transparency, meaning putting city meetings and records online, broadcasting meetings, rewarding citizens who offer "bridges" to connect parts of the community, undertaking serious strategic planning, appearing on a mayor's show on local cable—and more. This mayor radiates positive energy. His major challenge? "Building trust. People have to learn to trust police, their government, and community leaders and institutions to do the right thing. We need more hope and less apathy." We didn't get much into race relations, but he acknowledged being aware of it, and doesn't let it interfere with his optimism. Just then he looked out the window onto Sycamore street beside Newton's, where we sat. A pickup truck rolled by flying a confederate flag. Yes, he knew the challenges. Go comment! The Contradictory Nature of Conservatism Posted on May 05, 2016 I wrote this some eleven years ago, and evidently scrapped it; don't think it was published at the time. Re-reading it now, it seems to hold up well, and as we witness the utter collapse of conservatism under the guidance of Donald Trump, it rings true. +++++++++++++++++ Conservatives want smaller government, but still expect to be protected and defended by a strong standing army/air force/navy/marines/coast guard. They also know that the federal government helps protect the food supply, and has a hand in detecting and preventing deadly epidemics. Oh yes, they believe that upholding public morality is important, so regulating the media does have a role. And they appreciate quality state education, though they might like to change it to fit their religious beliefs more than a secular government would allow. They know how expensive private schools can be, so none call for national privatization of public schools. They'd like to be able to drive or fly safely to any destination in the country safely and relatively cheaply, and that requires good roads as well as national oversight of the airlines, particularly when it comes to safety. Oh yes, there's social security, meaning some kind of assurance that old age doesn't mean penury. And Medicaid, which keeps medication costs from sending us all to the poorhouse. All government programs, all costly, all to be continued. So conservatives want smaller government, but no fewer services. Ask a conservative what they would get rid of to cut government spending, and you end with a very short list. We'd still have a military, still government standards for food safety and water quality. We'd still have state schools both for grades 1-12, and they must know that our public universities remain the envy of the world. As is the scientific research done at them, much of it funded by the federal government. Because Americans have gotten so used to government providing so many critical services, from education to safe food to a large military, conservatives don't seem to know how much they get from it. Like air to humans and water to fish, government is everywhere, so it's taken for granted. In fact, here's the dirty little secret behind conservatives' anti-government rants: they're actually raving liberals by standards of just a few years ago. Few 1950s conservatives would have dreamed of the need for a pervasive and strong government in a globally-oriented world economy, not to mention a terrorist-threatened world. Except for hot-button social issues such as gay marriage, abortion, and prayer in schools, today's conservatives would seem rabidly liberal to 1950s conservatives, So though these conservatives can't have a much smaller government, they yearn for it like their recent ancestors yearned for separation of the races, women keeping their place in the home, and a white-male dominated world. We've moved beyond those too, thanks to liberal reforms, all of which conservatives fought--and lost. Do any contemporary conservatives want women to stay out of the workplace? Would they now argue for segregation, as they once did so fervently? Would they insist that blacks and whites not marry, as they once railed against "miscegenation" (interracial marriages) with as much fervor as they now outlaw gay marriages? Of course not. Such conservatives have long disappeared; we'll all liberals now, no matter how much they might protest to the contrary. That might explain why they're so bitter and angry; except for a few outbuildings, they've lost the whole farm. Of course conservatives still walk among us, but they mostly rant about secularism, about issues that they see threatening their beliefs, and about those demon liberals who seem to oppose such beliefs. The major difference between liberals and conservatives these days? Conservatives tend to base their arguments on black-and-white distinctions and demonizing the opposition, while liberals see complexities, gray areas, and mostly avoid name-calling and button-pushing, Al Franken excepted for his book, "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Liar." In a culture dominated by religion and the visual media, emotional demonizing will trump reason and facts every time. Conservatives even admit this approach as a strategy. In a review of Richard Viguerie and Richard Frankes' book "America's Right Turn," conservative reviewer Diana Feygin points out that "While conservatives have basically been able to say, 'This is good. This is evil. There is no in between . . .liberals have been more hesitant to identify the good and "vilify the bad" in such stark terms. Shades of "evil empire" and "axis of evil," by Presidents Reagan and GW Bush, not to mention the ugly ranting of the Ann Coulters and Rush Limbaughs of the nasty-wing conservatives. Reviewer Fegin even admits that this all-pervasive and effective conservative strategy could bring the downfall of conservatives. She ends her review with this: " a reliance on muckraking to shame the 'bad guys' creates risks of its own. In the end, too much "black and white" victim rhetoric could bring to a premature defeat the movement Viguerie and Franke worked so painstakingly to establish." Given the fact that most of the liberal causes of a few years ago have already occurred, conservatives have nowhere to go but down and out. Go comment!

Volume 104, Issue 2, 13 January 2014
In this letter, we report the observation of ballistic transport on micron length scales in graphene synthesised by chemical vapour deposition (CVD). Transport measurements were done on Hall bar geometries in a liquid He cryostat. Using non-local measurements, we show that electrons can be ballistically directed by a magnetic field (transverse magnetic focussing) over length scales of ∼1 μm. Comparison with atomic force microscope measurements suggests a correlation between the absence of wrinkles and the presence of ballistic transport in CVD graphene.
Tailoring dielectric properties of ferroelectric-dielectric multilayers104(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4861716View Description Hide Description
We develop a nonlinear thermodynamic model for multilayer ferroelectric heterostructures that takes into account electrostatic and electromechanical interactions between layers. We concentrate on the effect of relative layer fractions and in-plane thermal stresses on dielectric properties of Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3-, BaTiO3-, and PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 (PZT)-SrTiO3 (STO) multilayers on Si and c-sapphire. We show that dielectric properties of such multilayers can be significantly enhanced by tailoring the growth/processing temperature and the STO layer fraction. Our computations show that large tunabilities (∼90% at 400 kV/cm) are possible in carefully designed barium strontium titanate-STO and PZT-STO even on Si for which there exist substantially large in-plane strains.
Electric-field tunable electrocaloric effects from phase transition between antiferroelectric and ferroelectric phase104(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4862171View Description Hide Description
In this letter, orthorhombic Pb(Nb,Zr,Sn,Ti)O3 (PNZST) and tetragonal (Pb,La)(Zr,Sn,Ti)O3 (PLZST) antiferroelectric (AFE) thin films were deposited on LaNiO3/Pt(111)/TiO2/SiO2/Si(100) substrates via a sol-gel method. The electrocaloric effect (ECE) of PNZST and PLZST films originated from phase transition between AFE and ferroelectric were studied, based on their pyroelectric results. A large tunable ECE near room temperature was realized in these films under the function of electric field. As the applied electric field increased, the temperature corresponding to the peak of ECE was decreased for the orthorhombic PNZST films, while the temperature was increased for the tetragonal PLZST films. The maximum ECE of 0.040 K · cm/kV in PNZST films and 0.048 K · cm/kV in PLZST films was received at 323 and 305 K, respectively. The results indicated that AFE thin films had the potential for application in tunable cooling devices near room temperature.
Integrating non-planar metamaterials with magnetic absorbing materials to yield ultra-broadband microwave hybrid absorbers104(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4862262View Description Hide Description
Broadening the bandwidth of electromagnetic wave absorbers has greatly challenged material scientists. Here, we propose a two-layer hybrid absorber consisting of a non-planar metamaterial (MM) and a magnetic microwave absorbing material (MAM). The non-planar MM using magnetic MAMs instead of dielectric substrates shows good low frequency absorption and low reflection across a broad spectrum. Benefiting from this and the high frequency strong absorption of the MAM layer, the lightweight hybrid absorber exhibits 90% absorptivity over the whole 2–18 GHz range. Our result reveals a promising and flexible method to greatly extend or control the absorption bandwidth of absorbers.
Giant magnetoelectric effect at low frequencies in polymer-based thin film composites104(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4860664View Description Hide Description
A polymer-based magnetoelectric 2-2 composite was fabricated in a thin film approach by direct spin coating of polyvinylidenefluoride-co-trifluoroethylene onto a Metglas substrate without the usage of an adhesive for the mechanical coupling between the piezoelectric and magnetostrictive materials. For a prototype single-sided clamped cantilever, a magnetoelectric coefficient as high as 850 V cm−1 Oe−1 is observed at its fundamental bending mode resonance frequency at 27.8 Hz and a detection limit of 10 pTHz−1/2 at its second bending mode resonance frequency at 169.5 Hz.
Charge localization instability in a highly deformable dielectric elastomer104(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4862325View Description Hide Description
This paper shows that a highly deformable capacitor made of a soft dielectric and two conformal electrodes can switch between two states discontinuously, by a first-order transition, as the total charge varies gradually. When the total charge is small, it spreads evenly over the area of the capacitor, and the capacitor deforms homogeneously. When the total charge is large, it localizes in a small region of the capacitor, and this region thins down preferentially. The capacitor will survive the localization without electrical breakdown if the area of the electrode is small. Such a bistable system may lead to useful devices.
Strong dependence of dielectric properties on electrical boundary conditions and interfaces in ferroelectric superlattices104(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4862408View Description Hide Description
A computational study based on Landau–Ginzburg–Devonshire theory is carried out to understand the role of interfaces on the dielectric response of ferroelectric superlattices. Using heteroepitaxial (001)PbZr0.3Ti0.7O3/(001)SrTiO3 heterostructures on (001)SrTiO3 as an example, we show that electrostatic boundary conditions have a pronounced effect on the dielectric response far below the ferroelectric phase transition temperature. For a fixed total multilayer thickness, the average dielectric response can be improved significantly for superlattices with a small layer periodicity. This is due to the large total internal electric fields at the interlayer interfaces which originate from the polarization mismatch between layers.
Mutual control of magnetization and electrical polarization by electric and magnetic fields at room temperature in Y-type BaSrCo2− x Zn x Fe11AlO22 ceramics104(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4862432View Description Hide Description
Magnetoelectric (ME) properties were investigated for BaSrCo2− x Zn x Fe11AlO22 ceramics with the Y-type hexaferrite structure. This system exhibits a magnetic ordering above room temperature (RT) and high electrical resistivity exceeding 500 MΩ·cm by annealing under 10 atm O2. It is found that the samples with x ≤ 0.4 exhibit the robust ME effect with a reversal of electrical polarization induced by a low magnetic field at RT. Moreover, the electric-field-induced magnetization switching is also observed at RT. These results clearly demonstrate the mutual control of magnetization and electrical polarization at RT in the Y-type hexaferrite system.
Dielectric tunability analysis of pyrochlore Bi1.5Zn1.0Nb1.5O7 using epitaxial films on pyrochlore Bi2Ru2O7 conductive layers104(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4861221View Description Hide Description
To investigate the origin of the dielectric tunability, epitaxial Bi1.5Zn1.0Nb1.5O7 (BZN) films are grown on a pyrochlore Bi2Ru2O7 conductive layer by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The dielectric tunability is 41% at 2.5 MV/cm in the temperature range of 100–300 K, but is significantly suppressed below ∼100 K, suggesting that the dielectric tunability of the BZN film is due to random dipole contributions. However, a non-negligible dielectric tunability remains even at 4 K, implying that additional factors, such as phonons, contribute to the tunability.

I recently purchased a new HP 200-5020 All-in-One computer, with built-in webcam. I have looked everywhere I can think of for help in adjusting the built-in webcam settings. Honestly, I am not even sure where I go to open the webcam itself. When using Skype, I noticed the webcam is set much higher then I am tall.
Anyone able to point me in the right direction on how to start up the webcam and/or adjust the settings? I feel quite silly asking as I truly am not a beginner when it comes to computers. I have never run across this before.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Poohmom, welcome to the forum.
There is a learning curve with anything that we do. Computers are certainly at the top of that list.
Here are the Specifications for the computer. In them it says that the webcam software is HP MediaSmart WebCam. I suggest opening this program to see if there are settings for the webcam. I am not certain that you will be able to adjust the viewing angle, however. This may have to be done by elevating the computer by exterior means. At least, I could not find any help for that process.

.hack//G.U. Vol. 1
Better than previous games.By g c Score:
May 09, 2007 6:36AM PST
It stills suffers from the same problems as well, to much repetition. Though this partially mitigated by the addition of action trigger attacks and the addition rengenki special attacks.
Gone is the overwhelming need to micromanage the other 'players' the simple AI settings do a fairly decent job of this for you. Though you still need to pay attention to them in tough or drawn out fights.
Story wise it is interesting, though at times the protagonist comes off as annoyingly childish. The other characters seem to be well fleshed out, with each one having its own reason to play.
Graphics wise this is a great step from the previous version, though the cel-shading took a small bit of getting used to, it is well used in this and fits the setting quite well.
Soundtrack is very decent and music selection seems fairly diverse and the tracks during cut scenes match very well with what is being depicted.

LeBron Excited For Game 7
MIAMI – LeBron James could not sleep after Game 6.
Imagine, then, how frayed his emotions will be going into Game 7.
So much is at stake. Legacies, for so many players, James included. The NBA championship. Whether the season was a success or a bust. How he will be portrayed over the next few months. How history will judge a Miami Heat team that won 27 straight games in one stretch, 66 games in the regular season and now 81 games overall.
Although the Heat will insist otherwise, the common belief is that it all hinges on James' shoulders. And the four-time NBA MVP wouldn't have it any other way when his Heat take on the San Antonio Spurs in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
"I want to go down as one of the greatest. I want our team to go down as one of the greatest teams. And we have an opportunity to do that," James said. "Hasn't been many teams to win back-to-back championships. It's so hard. It's the hardest thing. I said last year it was the hardest thing I've ever done, winning my first. Last year don't even come close to what we've gone through in this postseason and in these Finals."
James was so weary afterward that he had trouble pulling himself up from the chair where he conducted postgame interviews.
"First of all, I'm blessed, man. I don't even know how I got here," he said. "I wasn't supposed to be in the NBA, if you go by statistics and things of me growing up where I grew up. Every time I go into my locker room and see the 'James' on the back of an NBA jersey, I'm like, 'Wow.' No criticism can deter me from playing this game because of that. I'm not supposed to be here."
He means that in a more broad sense, but in simplest terms, that also applies to Thursday night.
The Heat probably aren't supposed to be there. They were down by five points with less than a half-minute to go in regulation of Game 6. The championship celebration was being readied, literally around them. The Spurs were about to get their hands on the Larry O'Brien Trophy, and the Heat were about to slink off into another offseason of utter disappointment.
Until, of course, none of that happened.
James made a 3-pointer to get Miami within two, and after the Spurs gave Miami life by missing a free throw, Ray Allen sent it to overtime with another 3-pointer. In the extra session, James and the Heat found a way to pull out a 103-100 win, one that left Miami exhausted and San Antonio devastated. They collide one last time on Thursday with all eyes on James, who struggled for much of the game and still finished with 32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.
"He had an 'off' triple-double," Heat guard Mike Miller said. "I can't have an 'on' triple-double."
In James' lifetime, only four franchises – Chicago, the Los Angeles Lakers, Detroit and Houston – have won consecutive championships.
If Miami pulls this off, a second straight Finals MVP award will likely be his, to go with the four regular-season MVPs. He'll be a two-time champion, to go along with his two Olympic gold medals. Others have won more titles and more MVPs, but poking holes in James' resume will become a considerably tougher task, even for his biggest naysayers.
"We can't worry about what the history books say. That's why it's history," James said. "We have to live in the present. We have to live in the moment. And we have to do whatever it takes to bring that trophy – or to keep that trophy – here in Miami."

Opening Statement
Good afternoon, guys. I haven't had a chance to visit with you since the game the other day. I just want to say that following the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles – a really hard-fought game, a game that we had an opportunity to win – I felt very strongly about that. I told you that I had expressed feelings to the team. I was proud of the team and the way in which they had battled, in the way in which they had stuck together and in the way in which we had come through some adversity in Washington to get ourselves – to have the opportunity to be in the playoffs. (I'm) disappointed certainly in the loss to the Eagles in the playoffs. (I'm) disappointed in our 8-8 season, wishing that it would have been better, but nevertheless recognizing that we have been in the playoffs two years in a row. It was a very emotional time – hard-fought game, the conclusion of a season, sitting here even now just three days removed…But having had an opportunity, as procedures do follow, to sit and talk with ownership, I'm certainly very appreciative and very grateful to Jonathan Tisch and John Mara for the opportunity to sit and visit with them, and for their support. We've had a couple of days of very healthy, productive meetings which allowed, as (is) normal at the end of the season, an opportunity to answer questions, express our thoughts for moving forward, for improving our football team. And really everything that we talked about was about getting the New York Giants better – being better and improving so that we could move forward. And everything that was said in those meetings was addressed according to those lines.
Q: John Mara and Jonathan Tisch told us before they made their decision, they wanted to hear your plan for making this better. Did you go in assured that you were going to come back another year, or were you at all worried about what was going to happen?
A: I really never worried about – as I told you on a couple of occasions – I never really worried about my job as such. I worried about the next opponent. I spent all of my time trying to work with our staff and our players, trying to find a way to win, and I really don't look at time spent in that fashion – worrying about my future – as time well-spent. I really did not. I felt that we worked very hard as a staff and as a group this year. It certainly wasn't what we expected it to be, but going into the meetings, I felt they were end of the year meetings that gave me a chance to be with ownership and still didn't have any feeling that I was not going to be retained.
Q: Have you made any decisions about assistant coaches?
A: The process is on-going. We evaluate everything. I'm in the process of doing that now. I've expressed some things of concern as we've gone forward in our meetings, and they're continuing. You'll know as soon as those decisions are final.
Q: The owners said that part of those meetings were to discuss your visions of the future and how this team is going to get better. What are the main points that you pointed out to them?
A: I think it's broad in scope, but one is my belief that Eli (Manning) will improve. He is the quarterback of the future, and that certainly we have work to do there in consistency, in offensive point production, along those lines, but I'm very confident that we will achieve in that area. I think you realize that the picture is brighter than it was when I first came on board, with the two playoff appearances. The competitive nature of our league is a most difficult one. I do think that improvement is in the offing. I think we get some of these people back, we add a strong draft class, we add a few quality people in terms of the opportunities extended to us in free agency. I think we move forward, and so everything that we talk about is all about improving our football team and they go from, again, reevaluating everything, assessing the injury situation and so on and so forth. I realize the questions and the answers are somewhat broad in nature, but they have to be right now.
Q: When you first took over, you talked about having a team that played smart, was more disciplined and having fewer injuries. Do you feel that that's something that has to improve?
A: Well, I always do. I think we weren't the least penalized team, for example, in the NFC East. I think we were second by one penalty. I think that that certainly can always improve. I think that the injury situation, all you can do is continue to research that. I thought that our guys maintained a great level of focus, even through the injuries. We never used it as an excuse or developed any kind of a mentality along those lines. We continue to put forth with – The players that were on our team went forth and played as hard as they could, and that's the mentality that you're after. It would be a wonderful thing if somehow, some way we could devise in our game that no one was hurt, but that's unrealistic so we'll continue to research and try to understand how these things occur and do a better job of trying to prevent them, but the nature of the game is such.
Q: The two owners did say that they would at least discuss or get your opinions or impressions about their general manager search. The fact that you're in place now before the new GM comes into play --does that concern you at all, that you don't have a GM there now who is already on board with your retention?
A: Let me say this: I had a wonderful relationship with Ernie Accorsi, and Ernie Accorsi and John Mara and Jonathan Tisch and Mr. Mara and Mr. Tisch were the people that brought me here. I had full confidence in Ernie and in the personnel staff that's here. I do have full confidence in John Mara and Jonathan Tisch that the right person will be selected. We all know that in this day and age you have to work hand-in-hand to see things exactly the same way – what the needs are, how we're going to go about accomplishing those needs. I have every confidence that when the decision is made as to who the general manager is, it will be someone that will certainly share my thoughts along those lines. But also, we all worked – It's great to have to be able to surround yourself with professionals, with people who can be on the same page trying to accomplish the same thing, which is trying to make our team better.
Q: Jay Feely on Monday pretty honestly expressed his disappointment in the fact that there were a number of players on the team in the locker room that refused to buy into and refused to follow your leadership and what you preached to the team. I'm wondering if you perceived that, and if that in fact was the case, how inhibiting was it to you in what you had to do?
A: I think, although I'm not sure what Jay said, but you always have your challenges and you always have players that you have to try to make them understand what your thinking is and why it is. I think the first question that was asked in the conference here was about discipline and about focus and about a team that can really control themselves and their emotions on the field, because if you don't, the smallest of errors can cost you a football game at this level and you can't afford that. That's all we really preach and that's all that we try to do. We talk about team, we talk about a team that controls its emotions and does the right thing at the right time on the field, obviously gives great effort and has superior preparation. It's an on-going process and I'm not sure what Jay is referring to, but it's very important in our game at this level with the parity in our league that everyone understand exactly what we're talking about and is in complete agreement with what is necessary for us to win.
Q: Were John Mara and Jonathan Tisch supportive of you from the start of your meetings this week, and what does their commitment mean to you?
A: They were very, very good. They were very supportive, they were intense in their desire to find out what our thinking was and what our thoughts were in wrapping up this season and moving forward. I appreciated very much, the way that the meetings were conducted, and the fact that at the conclusion on the meetings that the questions had been answered. I was, as I said before, grateful, and still am, for their support.
Q: Do you feel you need to change at all, and do you think that players will notice anything different about you starting next season?
A: I think I have changed, to be honest with you, and I will continue to do that because I think you have to grow and you have to study the circumstances and continue to improve, if you will, every year. I don't think – No two teams are ever the same and I don't think your approach can be the same with any two teams that are back-to-back teams. I think the players understand what is important to me, and I think that the more that we get to experience one another, the better off we are.
Q: Do you think they can expect a softer, kinder Tom Coughlin?
A: I don't know about…I've tried to be understanding and I've tried to make them aware of obviously the fact that I am concerned about each and every one of them in more ways than just in football. You don't get a lot of time to sit during the course of the season and do that, and I hope to be able to catch up on some of that in the off-season.
Q: Given the fact that you're losing the franchise-leading rusher and your Hall of Fame defensive end will be a year older next year, how difficult will your job be to get this team back to the playoffs?
A: You understand that about our business. Tiki (Barber)'s decision to retire is one that, while it saddens us, it's a part of our game. Michael (Strahan) will be back. He will be healthy. The process of improvement is always one where you have to be able to go out and bring players in that can help you, and that cycle begins right away. It's difficult for every team, and every team basically starts the same here in the off-season. We realize what has to be accomplished. We look at our team very closely and we'd like to make some decisions along the way here that will improve us, but it's no different than any other team.
Q: How do you rate Eli Manning's progression, and do you believe ultimately your success or failure at the Giants will be measured by his growth?
A: I think that our success will be measured by our team and what our team is able to accomplish on the field. I think that everyone has to improve. Everyone has to play better, to get better, and certainly I think Eli would agree with that. And the process continues. It's a continual attempt to try to improve yourself. Even some of the great players, the greatest players in the game always – I've heard them say that the challenge is with yourself. I think it's an on-going thing. Eli is coming out of his third year, going into his fourth year and I think that there's no question that we will have a very productive off-season in terms of, again, his improvement.
Q: In your first year, there were players who took swipes at you anonymously. Last year, not so much because of the successful season, but down the stretch here there were a couple of those. How sure are you that next year that won't happen again, and that these guys are on the same page with you?
A: I think it's, again, trying to point out the importance of family and remaining together, and if there is someone who has something on their mind that the door is open, and this is where it starts. There, for whatever reason, has been a process where people have gone to the media with questions about things that should remain in-house and should remain within family, not on the outside. I think that the players, they understood my explanation about that and why I thought it was so important for our team and our franchise, and I think we're making progress along those lines.
Q: The owners said that you received a one-year contract extension. Did you want a longer extension, and does a one-year extension, in your mind, basically mean a "make good" year for next year?
A: I think every year that you take the field is a year in which you put everything that you have into doing the best job you possibly can and winning. I don't think very many of us think very far beyond just the season that's at hand. I would even have preferred that that – I realize you need that information, but that to me is something that's a private matter, when you start to talk about contract(s). My focus is on right now and the upcoming season.
Q: In terms of your staff, are you going to be the sole evaluator over these next few stages--
A: --Yes, I am.--
Q: -- In deciding exactly what happens, then, to the rest of your coaching staff, will you be getting any input from anybody in the organization on that?
A: Obviously if I chose to bounce some things off, I have people that I can do that with. That's the nature of the business, and of course, that's the prerogative of ownership. But it's been stated very clearly to me that those decisions are mine.
Q: You've talked about your unhappiness with players speaking out in the press. Is there something to be said – sort of like addition by subtraction – by removing a veteran element who is not afraid of speaking out in the press and having a more uniform team?
A: I don't think of it in that way at all. It's our team, and it's a message to our team, period.
Q: Was there anything that came up in the conversations with John Mara and Jonathan Tisch over the last couple of days that they asked you to do something that you felt at the time might be unacceptable and that could get in the way of you returning?
A: No.
Q: You obviously had success in making Tiki Barber a better football player. Why do you think, to date, you haven't had the same success with Eli Manning?
A: I just think that it's an on-going process, and there was one particular issue that Tiki was able to understand immediately. He was very open-minded about it. He was an outstanding runner, if you will, when I came here, but the issue was the idea of trying to help him with ball security, and we were able to do that. He worked the entire off-season on it and he made it a part of his body – he made the ball a part of his body. He put the ball in such a position where the opponent could not get to it and he lived by that religiously, even when it was not comfortable for him. With Eli, it's a process. You have a young guy that has the responsibility, if you will, of the ball on every snap. Whether it be the decisions that have to be made with regard to the fronts, the blitzes, the coverages, even as far as putting us in the right position from a run-standpoint, he's done an exceptional job of that. There are things which happen in the game that, one play you may master in the face of a blitz and the next play you may not. It's a process that we're continuing to work on, and I have great faith that he recognizes what it is we need to improve upon and he will work at it. It's not a question of him not doing what we ask him to do. He's completely reliable and dependable in those areas, and we have to get better. That's all.
Q: Did you ask anything of management in return, in terms of were you satisfied with the personnel that you had, in terms of the players? Was there anything on your mind?
A: Those things remain private. There are always discussions about all phases of job-responsibility and we covered any number of subjects, but nothing that wasn't discussed to make us better and nothing that wasn't well-received.
Q: Do you expect Tim Lewis to be back as your defensive coordinator?
A: We're in the position here where we're talking about our entire operation and our evaluation throughout the course of this week. We'll consider all of those things.
Q: Have you spoken to any of the assistants yet?
A: No, no I have not. I had a staff meeting – I've had staff meetings – but those discussions will be going forward.
Q: Would you admit that at least the defensive side needs to improve substantially over the next –
A: I think we need to improve in every area. I don't think it's just defense. I think improvement has to be…I mentioned earlier to you that, for example, we didn't score enough points. I think that everything needs to be evaluated and looked at and put in a position where we can improve.
Q: You said you're confident that whoever becomes the general manager, you'll be able to work with him. Were you asked at all on any input on that, especially with the in-house candidates?
A: You know what? We never really talked in any great detail about any of that. The idea of working together was expressed, but not to the point where it had to do with any individual.

Art critic Lori Waxman gives her reviews in public
Culture is more than an enveloping painting on a museum wall or the confounding installation at an upstart gallery. It exists in the way we look at, talk about and express ourselves about art.
The idea that the writing of art criticism qualifies as the making of culture certainly fits the professional practice of Lori Waxman, a regular freelance critic for the Chicago Tribune and a frequent writer for publications such as Artforum. »Read Full Article

Good Accomodations
Dick in Florence, OR
My wife and I stayed at the Pier Point several times while home hunting in the area. We have put friends up there also. There are wonderful views of the river and Old Town from most rooms. Accommodations are comfortable, there is a good continental breakfast, and it's only minutes to many restaurants. The rates are reasonable.

Some people think that granny phone sex isn't that hot they look at us and believe that we're just old and wrinkled and probably out these are all shriveled up and would never be able to please anyone. But that is so far from the truth I met this young man the other day he said he's into cougars and very old ladies he stated that it's a complete turn-off to look at a young woman he loves to look at a woman with wrinkles saggy tits and a beautiful sight to see he said. He told me that he likes to get down on his knees stick his tongue out and lick all in between the crevices of those wrinkles and all down inside of that saggy pussy.
I took him home with me that night and let him do just that he and I had the hottest grandma sucks that you could ever imagine. I never knew a young man cover Rock My World the way that he did. He thought that he was showing me something, but I turn the tables around on him I put him down on his back on my old ass and right on top of that big ole cock of his and slid right down on it and started bouncing up and down he felt my old juice is just up and down all over his gorgeous cock. We exploded into ecstasy together.
After we had finished we laid in the bed together and held each other he was such a strong young man, and he made me feel so comfortable. He told me how he loves older women, but he also has a thing for young girls, and when I say young, I mean very very young, so I told him the next time he comes over I'll have a big surprise for him well actually a little surprised. You have just imagined my little granddaughter and me and him could have some hot sexy grandmas phone fun what do you think about that?
