Before the season, it was clear that DeAndre Daniels held the key to UConn's success.
The talented 6-foot-8 small forward would be heavily counted on as a third scoring option and, more importantly, a force on the boards. This UConn team — with depth as thin as Daniels' legs — has always sought consistency from the one-time top 10 recruit.
What happened at Providence Thursday night can hardly be termed "consistent." But, in the face of a 31-rebound deficit (which tied a Big East record), Daniels collected enough boards and converted enough foul line jumpers for UConn to leave with an 82-79 overtime victory.
Long story short: No Daniels, no win for the Huskies.
That's been the case all year. Here's a look at Daniels' performance in closely-contested wins vs. losses:
*Win vs. Michigan State: 12 points, eight rebounds, three blocks in 32 minutes
*Loss vs. N.C. State: 7 points, one rebound in 21 minutes
*Loss at Marquette: 11 points, one rebound in 17 minutes
*Win at Notre Dame: 8 points, nine rebounds in 26 minutes
*Loss at Pittsburgh: 5 points, zero rebounds in 20 minutes
*Win vs. Rutgers: 13 points, seven rebounds in 32 minutes
*Win at Providence: 18 points, seven rebounds, two blocks in 39 minutes
(Note: Daniels had his worst statistical game of the year — three points, one rebound in 29 minutes — in the double-overtime win over Quinnipiac. It's fair to say the Huskies wouldn't have needed two OTs if Daniels stepped up).
Break down the above stats and Daniels' impact is obvious: In those four wins — all close games — Daniels averaged 12.8 points and 7.8 rebounds in 32.3 minutes. In the three losses, his numbers dipped to 7.7 points and 0.6 rebounds in just 19.3 minutes.
You could say his production slid because of the decline in minutes, but the truth is he didn't get minutes because of his poor production.
The stat that really tells it all: In Big East losses, Daniels averages 3.47 rebounds per 40 minutes. In wins, he averages 9.77 per 40 minutes.

You are here4/14/2011 A BRIEF HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA'S NUCLEAR REACTOR OVERSIGHT: A REGULATORY TIMELINE WITH RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PRESENT

Statement of Rochelle Becker before the Senate Energy Committee hearing— After Japan: Nuclear power plant safety in California, April 14, 2011
I am Rochelle Becker, and from 2005 to the present I have been the executive director of the Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility. For over two decades prior to that I was spokesperson for the San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace and active in all the licensing and California Public Utilities Commission proceedings for the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. As an energy consumer advocate, I have been on the board of TURN-The Utility Reform Network—for nearly two decades and was the board president during California's tumultuous deregulation-driven energy crisis.
I am here today listed as a speaker discussing "community" issues, and while this is a "community" issue, given my background and experience as outlined above, I believe the correct term should be "consumer" issues. It is as ratepayers that we in California have our only jurisdiction over nuclear power. In fact, the very title of today's hearing, "After Japan: Nuclear power plant safety in California" seem to be misnomer, as the issue of "safety" is one on which our state is pre-empted by the federal NRC. Given that, by a 1983
U.S. Supreme Court decision states have the right to determine the reliability and economics of their electricity generation sources, it is puzzling that other witnesses do not include members of our state's Energy Commission or, in the case of the relicensing of Diablo Canyon, the state's Coastal Commission—the only state regulator with federal equivalency in issuing a coastal development permit for the plant.
As consumers, it is our contention—and as the following history I will summarize bears out—that when our state has abdicated its jurisdictional and regulatory authority and relied on the assurances and certifications of the utilities and the NRC, consumers and ratepayers—residential and commercial—have borne an exorbitant cost. Most of these costs overruns--$ 4.4 billion in the case of Diablo Canyon—were directly attributable to seismic negligence by PG&E, faulty oversight of the NRC, and failure of the CPUC to safeguard ratepayer interests. As outrageous as those overruns were, they pale in light of the $ 23.6 billion in damage claims JP Morgan reports are being leveled at TEPCO in the wake of Fukushima. Bear in mind that in the US, the Price-Anderson act caps liability for nuclear claims at $12 billion. Who would pay the difference if it had happened here? Japanese factories are idled now not only because of radioactive releases but because there is no electricity to run them. How would an incident on our shores financially cripple California's already precarious economy? As consumers, we deserve to know.
As license renewal proceedings for Diablo Canyon and San Onofre nuclear reactors are underway or on the horizone, ratepayers and regulators should be aware of past and recent history.
- In 1967, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) for PG&E's Diablo Canyon reactor on the basis of representations made by the utility that the site was free from significant earthquake faulting and that the nearest faults were 20 to 50 miles away.1 In an Atomic Energy Commission memo from April, 1967, regarding the analysis of PG&E'S seismologist Dr. Jahns, it is written: "Thus Dr. Jahns concludes that the present proposed location is adequate. They do not intend to do further trenching at the risk of uncovering geologic structures which could lead to additional speculation and possible delay the project."2
- In 1975, construction of the plants—which are designed to withstand .4g of ground motion in an earthquake--is nearly complete. The Hosgri fault has been discovered offshore and the NRC believes the USGS will assign a value of .5g, to which the structural design can be adapted and accepted. In a meeting memo of January 12, 1976, the NRC writes: "…we were surprised by a USGS report for the site that concluded that an acceleration of 0.5g was in its opinion inadequate for the site on the basis of present information." Failing to scientifically convince the USGS to change their findings, the NRC outlines a program to "…assume the USGS, at the reviewer level, would remain adamant and seek other means to confirm or modify its finding," and concludes "In view of the seriousness of the problem, it is essential that strong Regulatory management be imposed immediately to "manage" the team of consultants and the probability task force. These managers should be of the highest level managers that we can practically assign to the tasks."3
- In 1980 the CPUC rules that a new CPCN was not required after the discovery of an active fault capable of a 7.5M earthquake less than 3 miles from the reactors. This ruling was followed by the infamous "reverse blueprint error" in which the reactors needed to be retrofitted, the first retraction of an NRC operating license, and an estimated $4.4 billion in cost overruns attributed to seismic miscalculations.4
- In Mach, 1982, in a 3 to 2 decision, the NRC approves of Diablo Canyon's seismic design on the basis of an obscure and untested theory by a Japanese seismologist, to which the dissenting commissioners write, "The Board's reasoning on the "tau effect," for example, may be cited in future cases when an applicant or licensee would otherwise have difficulty in complying with our regulations…Altogether, we cannot escape the impression that the Commission is declining review not because the opinion is essentially sound, but because it is unsound and the prospect of reviewing it so unsettling."5
- In 1987 the Public Staff Division of the CPUC recommends that $4.4 billion dollars of Diablo Canyon's $5.7 billion cost be disallowed for seismic negligence. In a hearing held on June 9, 1987 before this very same body, the Senate Committee on Energy and Public Utilities, the following exchange took place between Assemblywoman Gwen Moore and Edward O'Neil of the CPUC Public Staff:
MR. O'NEIL: "…We, unfortunately for better or worse, relied on PG&E's representations concerning the geology of the vicinity. And that proved to be inaccurate and misleading in a number of respects. We issued a certificate based on PG&E's representations that the site was geologically suitable for the plant and that the plant was properly designed. And as we all know now, that was incorrect information. I might add the NRC had the same problem with PG&E. They issued a permit and they relied on PG&E. They relied on PG&E's geo-seismic studies. So neither the NRC or PUC went out and did their own studies…
MS. MOORE: "I guess the real concern I have is that if you had the responsibility of overseeing the project, and I guess the protection of the People of the State, it would appear to me that your responsibility would certainly lead you to verification of that which you are endorsing."6
- In 1988, in spite of the above testimony, a settlement brokered by Attorney General John Van De Kamp between PG&E and CPUC places the entire $4.4 billion seismic cost overrun entirely onto the ratepayers. There was no review of reasonableness and prudency for the design cost overruns.
- In 2006, AB 1632 is enacted requiring the California Energy Commission to: "…determine the potential vulnerability, to a major disruption due to aging or a major seismic event, of large baseload generation facilities of 1,700 megawatts or greater…" The bill would also require the commission, "…in absence of a long-term nuclear waste storage facility, to assess the potential state and local costs and impacts associated with accumulating waste at California's nuclear powerplants…"
- In 2007, The CPUC, in granting ratepayer funding for PG&E to conduct a feasibility study of relicensing Diablo Canyon, specifically requires the application to include all the seismic studies recommended in "the CEC's AB 1632 Assessment."7
- In 2008, the CEC releases the AB 1632 analysis, recommending advanced 3-D and other seismologic techniques to be used for updated studies on all faulting in the vicinity of Diablo Canyon.8 That day, PG&E announces that the USGS has located a new active fault, the "Shoreline" fault, within 1800 feet of the plant.
- In November 2009, PG&E files an application with the NRC to relicense Diablo Canyon. The federal NRC relicensing process does not require any of the studies recommended by AB 1632 be completed.
- In January 2010, PG&E files with the CPUC for ratepayer funding for the NRC license renewal process. Their application does not include all AB 1632 required seismic studies and 3-D seismic mapping—which the utility plans to complete by 2014—almost two years after the NRC concludes they can grant their federal license (by May 2012). The application to the CPUC does not include updated "lessons learned" from the 2007 Kashiwazaki earthquake that knocked 8000MW of generation off-line in 90 seconds at a cost of over $12 billion to date in repairs and replacement power. The assigned judge sets hearings for April 13, 2011 regarding the completion of AB 1632 studies.
- In March 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake in northern Japan exceeds design basis for the Fukushima nuclear power plant complex, disabling four units and leading to partial meltdown conditions and offsite releases of radiation to the air and water that continue to this day. In the next 30 days, initial re ports of financial losses exceed $23 billion.
- Consumers have no reason to trust assurances of seismic safety from PG&E, NRC or the CPUC. Their past histories demonstrate the need for independent peer review and verification by the state regulators regarding seismic hazards and potential costs for California ratepayers. The CEC, CCC and legislature have supported this position.
- AB 1632 first and foremost is concerned with the costs, risks and benefits of relying on California's aging nuclear reactors. While the risks and benefits have been discussed and debated by scientists and energy planners, much less attention has been paid to the economic analysis. In the wake of Fukushima—both the loss of power and the damage claims—the economic consequences for the state and ratepayers cannot be treated as secondary to scientific and technical questions regarding nuclear power and must be re-evaluated.
- The CPUC failed to adequately provide a just and prudent solution for ratepayers in the 1988 seismic decision. The admission by the Public Staff that they failed to adequately review the seismic data at the time is now disappointingly similar two decades later. As recently as February 2011, the Division of Ratepayer Advocates—the current incarnation of the Public Staff—agreed to a CPUC settlement decision allocating $80 million ratepayer dollars for PG&E's license renewal proceeding without requiring the completion and independent peer review of the AB 1632 studies. They should be before you here today as their predecessors were in 1987 to explain their decision.
- The NRC still has no requirement that updated seismic studies be a part of the license renewal process. PG&E's claims continue to be deceptive and misleading. After Fukushima, they stated in the San Luis Obispo TRIBUNE on March 14, 2011 that: "Our geological experts, using state-of-the-art technology, have determined that potential impacts of all nearby faults fall within all design safety margins and that Diablo Canyon remains seismically safe. The study was independently reviewed by the U.S. Geological Survey, and we recently submitted the findings to the NRC." The U.S. Geological Survey has absolutely stated that they have not reviewed PG&E's findings. In addition: PG&E had yet to even apply for the permits necessary to conduct the high-energy 3-D seismic mapping recommended by AB 1632 when they made that statement, nor have they applied as of this date. The fact that they have "submitted findings to the NRC" means nothing; the NRC has said its review of those findings is at least a year away, and as the documents from the 1970s demonstrate, cannot be trusted to be free of industry-favorable bias.
- PG&E's recent claim that they have asked the NRC to "delay the final processing" of the DCPP license renewal application, "such that the renewed operating licenses, if approved, would not be issued until after PG&E has completed the 3-D seismic studies and submitted a report to the NRC addressing the results of those studies" is a disingenuous public relations ploy. It happens that the NRC can't issue any license until the California Coastal Commission issues its federal equivalency approval, and the CCC has requested not only the results of the AB 1632 seismic studies, but additional and more detailed seismic data involving land-based and offshore faulting. Furthermore, the NRC has stated that updated seismic studies are not a part of their license renewal review.
- PG&E's application for $85 million in ratepayer funding for license renewal has been at the CPUC since January 2010. The Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility and co-interveners have maintained that by the CPUC's own directive, "This commission will not be able to adequately and appropriately exercise its authority to fund and oversee Diablo Canyon's license extension without these AB 1632 issues being fully developed."9 As recent as their February 2011 testimony in this CPUC case, PG&E has claimed that they will not and are not required to complete these studies prior to receiving ratepayer funding for the license renewal. A week after the Fukishima events, the judge in the CPUC proceeding issued the following statement without comment or explanation: "This Application, now set for evidentiary hearing April 13, 2011, is taken off calendar to be reset on motion of the parties." Multiple requests for clarification from the judge have been unanswered. There is currently no assigned commissioner for this application at the CPUC.10
- The Legislature must order the CPUC to return PG&E's application 10-01-022 to the utility as incomplete for failure to include the "full development" of the AB 1632 seismic studies as recommended. No ratepayer funding should be expected or permitted until the utility has fulfilled the mandate of the legislation. This is solely within the jurisdiction of the state of California and has no involvement with the NRC whatsoever.

"Mom, there's nothing to eat"September 15th, 2012 at 11:09 pm by Jaclyn Bevis under Hunger Challenge
As a child, I remember saying these five words to my mom on a nearly daily basis. Luckily for me, the statement was far from true. While I may not have seen the exact brand and flavor of potato chip I wanted or my favorite Pop-Tart filling, I always had something to eat. For that, I am thankful for my parents and their efforts to make sure I never went hungry; however, as I grow older, I am more and more aware of how difficult a task keeping a cupboard full is. As I approach the United Way of the Wabash Valley's Hunger Challenge, I know I'm about to become much more aware.
If you don't know about the challenge, get ready! For the next seven days starting at midnight tonight (Saturday), here are the guidelines I'll be following for my all food and meal choices.
- I will be limited to spending $29.27 for the entire week on food. That's $4.18 for each of the seven days.
- I may not use any food that I have outside of what is available to me after I make my food purchases for this week. This includes spices, milk, leftovers and baking goods. Just to reiterate, I will ONLY eat things purchased with the $29.27.
- I will not, and cannot, take food hand outs. That means skipping Doughnut Friday at the news station, family dinners with my fabulous, extended Terre Haute family and the free coffee from work.
I said basic, and those are pretty basic. Here are some other basics:
- 1 in 4 children struggle with hunger every day right here in the Wabash Valley;
- 1 in 6 adults are food insecure, meaning they don't know where they'll find their next meal;
- While food prices went up in the last year, SNAP assistance went down, meaning people receive less money per day for food.
Those three bullet points are three key reasons why I'm taking part in the United Ways second annual challenge. Adults and children alike are forced to live and eat by these dollar figures day after day, month after month.
For the first time in my life, I'll eat each meal with concern of what's remaining in my "pot" of available resources.
I've asked around to some "veterans" of the hunger challenge for advice.
- Crunchy peanut butter
- Avoid high end grocery stores
- Adjust to smaller portions
- Prepare for a difficult end to the week
It's with many blessings that I can say that this challenge for me will end in a week. While I'm eating on less, I won't have to decide between medication and food, feeding my pet and eating myself, buying gas for my car or getting dinner. For so many people around the Wabash Valley, it doesn't end in just one week and the decisions are much more real.
So will you join me? Will you take the challenge alongside me and 49 of my friends around the Wabash Valley to see first hand the struggles that so many people work through daily?
Join in. And you can follow my journey here and on my Facebook page. If you're joining in or have ideas for me, share them here or on my Facebook. (And, of course, you can always e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com!) First on the docket is a trip to the grocery store. I'll head there tomorrow morning. My hope is that there are big bargains tomorrow at the West Vigo IGA. I'll update you soon!

An IOM report called for increased spending for research as well as steps to improve physician education and training in the management and treatment of chronic pain. The panel calls for the development of a comprehensive plan for improving chronic pain care by the end of 2012.
A report by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) commissioned by the NIH has proposed a game plan for improving and heightening awareness of chronic pain — including a timetable for swift changes for consolidating and coordinating research and data collection by federal health agencies as well as taking steps to raise awareness of the problem.
The IOM report, which was featured at the American Public Health Association's annual meeting in Washington, DC, on Nov. 2, said chronic pain should be "a national priority" given its scope and related costs; it affects one out of every three Americans and costs the country upwards of $600 billion each year.
The report called for increased spending for research as well as steps to improve physician education and training. More controversially, the IOM panel recommended that the NIH shift responsibility for pain research to a single institute rather than having each institute study pain as it pertains to different medical disorders, and develop a comprehensive plan for improving chronic pain care by the end of 2012.
"Reliable data are lacking on the full scope of the problem, especially among those currently under-diagnosed and under-treated, including racial and ethnic minorities; people with lower levels of income and education; women, children, and older people; military veterans; surgery and cancer patients; and people at the end of life; among others," according to the report. To improve this, it said federal and state agencies, as well as private organizations, should accelerate collection of data on pain incidence, preva-lence, and treatments.
"Many of us see this as a crisis in health care that needs to be addressed," commented IOM committee member Robert D. Kerns, PhD, professor of psychiatry, neurology and psychology at Yale School of Medicine, and national program director for pain management at the Veterans Health Administration VA Connecticut Healthcare System in New Haven, CT.
"I don't think we would have made any recommendations that we felt were unfeasible, but this will take continued input from, and action by, all stakeholders, including advocacy groups, in order to promote the changes," he told Neurology Today in a telephone interview.
And because neurologists play a central role in how chronic pain is treated, cooperation with other related specialties is an integral component in improving patient care, he said.
"We understand that pain is a broad concept and covers a range of bio-psycho-social factors, which is why we recommend a multidimensional, multimodality, and interdisciplinary approach to treatment and management. In this, neurologists play a very important part, especially as educators. They will be training the next generation of students who will see these patients."
Neurology is also one of only four specialties at the residency level for which advanced fellowships are available for training in pain management, he said.
"I feel that the future is bright for chronic pain research. The report's reception by NIH seems quite favorable, and even though the report's recommendation that a single institute be charged with carrying the agenda forward is somewhat provocative,
I feel confident that there will be more discussions."
Anne Louise Oaklander MD, PhD, associate professor of neurology at Harvard Medical Schools and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, said the wider issue is why many neurologists are not as involved in treating patients with unexplained chronic pain.
"Right now, lack of neurological input is part of the problem," she told Neurology Today in a telephone interview. "Many patients with unexplained 'mystery' pain have an underlying rheumatological or neurological cause that needs to be diagnosed and treated. If the origin of their pain is unclear most will receive only symptomatic treatment, typically with pain medications. But these don't work that well. For instance, small-fiber polyneuropathy, often caused by treatable diseases including diabetes, should be considered in patients with unexplained widespread chronic pain. Neurologists, for the most part, are missing in action."
The reasons are unclear, but a host of clinical and social issues are involved, said Dr. Oaklander, who serves on the editorial advisory board for Neurology Today.
Part of their hesitancy might be concerns about having to prescribe opioids, even though non-opioid medications are also effective, including tricyclic antidepressants and gabapentin-type drugs that help neuropathic pain. Moreover, she said neurologists, like other physicians, "have an underlying suspicion" that unexplained chronic pain may be caused by psychiatric issues.In her experience, this is no more common than in other areas of neurology, such as epilepsy.
Today other types of specialists treat most chronic pain patients — even those with clear neurological causes such as post-herpetic neuralgia or nerve problems, she noted.
"They have stepped into the breach, but current techniques for treating acute and perioperative pain, especially nerve blocks and high-dose opioids, are not necessarily best for chronic pain and non-neurologists may struggle with difficult diagnoses."
Most patients with complex regional pain syndrome, for instance, have underlying nerve injury, but few of these patients ever see a nerve specialist or have electrodiagnostic testing, she told Neurology Today. "Unexplained chronic pain is one of the cardinal symptoms of diseases of the nervous system and should be treated as such," she said.
"There is a real challenge moving forward on how chronic pain is treated," added IOM committee member John T. Farrar, MD, PhD, associate professor of epide-miology and neurology at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
"We need a change in the current paradigm on how the health care system approaches chronic pain, especially neuropathic pain, while at the same time educating the public and physicians. Given the extent of the problem, there is a also disproportionately small amount of research," he told Neurology Today in a telephone interview.
Part of the problem is how to help patients gain better access to multiple components of health care that might help.
Another challenge will be finding new treatments, he continued. "Even though there have been some advances in neuroactive agents, from amitriptyline to gabapentin, pregabalin, and duloxetine, we still do not have drugs that will work well for many patients and their doctors. There is a tremendous need for basic, translational, and clinical research, which presents a tremendous opportunity for neurologists and neuroscientists."
THE IOM report recommended that the Department of Health and Human Services develop a comprehensive plan with specific goals, actions, and timeframes. Among strategies they proposed to be implemented before the end of 2012:
* create a comprehensive population health-level strategy for pain prevention treatment, management and research;
* develop strategies for reducing barriers to pain care;
* support collaboration between pain specialists and primary care clinicians, including referral to pain centers, when appropriate
* designate a lead institute at the NIH to move pain research forward
Moreover, the panel recommended that the National Center for Health Statistics, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), other federal and state agencies, and private organizations should accelerate the collection of data on pain incidence, prevalence, and treatments. Data should be collected at regular intervals using standardized questions, protocols for surveys, and electronic medical records to identify the following information:
* subpopulations at risk;
* characteristics of acute and chronic pain;
* profound health consequences of pain, including death, disease, and disability; and related trends over time.

|Give it a rest, why don't you?
Normally this would be the point where I tell you good people what I'm doing this week. Instead, this will be me finally letting an itch get scratched, because it has come to the point where this is issue is now bothering me enough to actually make the point.
When you cancel your subscription to Warcraft, remember to move on too.
We all know there's no new content coming until 6.0 hits. We're all well aware that this means it's a Summer killing Garrosh repeatedly. It's abundantly apparent that Alpha's being used as a substitute for new content by many people and that's cool, but also remember that when we're doing this for the NEXT Expansion that there are salutary lessons to be learnt about getting your hands on new stuff well before it goes live to the general public. You are, of course, perfectly entitled to announce your departure from the game via any branch of Social Media you care to populate. But remember this important point: once you stop playing, remember to ACTUALLY STOP. Clear the game from your mind, perhaps even uninstall it from your computer. If you fully intend to return to it once some actual new content arrives then constantly moaning that isn't happening yet doesn't actually count as not playing, you know. It will simply annoy people and do you no favours at all.
Trust me on this, especially speaking as someone who remains and still enjoys what she's doing.
|Many things to do.
I have many plans for the Summer, and most of them involve playing a game in two forms: not simply the one that will come to pass in Warlords, but the game that remains full of content. YES THERE IS TONS OF CONTENT LEFT. I'll freely admit it isn't the kind of 'engagement' a great many players would consider as worthwhile or indeed worthy of paying for, but it is there and I am yet to complete it, so by definition it remains unplayed. What appears to be lacking in a number of quarters is respect for those who choose to stay, which I find of mounting concern, especially as this is coming from players who clearly will return when new content is playable and who will (presumably) expect to be treated with respect by the players they are currently dissing for paying their money and taking their choice. I should therefore point out that respect is a two way street, and if you're expecting to return, perhaps destroying the game as you exit is no the wisest of choices in hindsight.
Remember, it isn't just you on Social Media. That's where the SOCIAL bit comes in.
For me, there are still an infinite number of possibilities I could list in the next week, but the chances are that with Alpha faffing and Real Life demands (f which there are several this week) that my play time will be restricted to a couple of hours a night. What that meant last night was 10 points on Rookie Pet Crew and this further means that I'll be ensuring that every pet I own is L10 or above by some point in the Summer for Rookie Pet Mob. It is hardly a massive contribution to my Achievement Points total but the fact remains that when you're playing solo (which I do most of the time) anything you can do alone is worthwhile. Perhaps this is why my tolerance for those bemoaning the lack of group content is somewhat lower than normal, I don't know. I think sometimes people tend to forget for the sake of effect just how lucky they infact are, because it makes their complaints even more pointed. I understand, but really, this is just pixels. If it upsets you THAT much then perhaps there are other issues at play that require consideration.
Go enjoy yourself away from Warcraft for a while. I suspect an awful lot of you will be back. If you don't return, then the entire landscape of the game changes forever, and that's absolutely cool, because evolution is part of a process that this game's been involved with since 2004. If you want to moan, try and make it constructive, and remember that the people you leave behind aren't any less worthy than you because they choose to keep playing. They're simply making a choice, just as you have, and theirs is no less important than yours. What matters most of all is if people are happy.
I promise to respect your decision, if you will in turn respect mine. Deal?

It's Tailgating Time!
Ah, football season. The time to bring out the face paint, team cheers, pom poms and, most importantly, delicious tailgating food and drinks! The idea of an on-site tailgate can seem a little overwhelming, but an at-home tailgating party can be simple, delicious and so much better than the actual game. So choose your own adventure: whether you want to cheer for a specific team, showcase the flavors of fall or have an all-out Mexican tailgating fiesta, we've got plenty of recipes to keep your fans full.
For a Fall-Flavored Tailgate
Start your guests off with Pumpkin Quesadillas and beer, to get them ready for fall flavors. Then, really win them over with homemade Baked Veggie Chips and Skinny Spinach Artichoke Dip. Finally, when the weather's still pleasant, fire up the grill for Chicken Wings with Jala-Peach Sauce
To Cheer on the Home Team
Fan of the Miami Dolphins? Rep the green and orange with Buffalo Chicken Sliders. Or maybe you like the Kansas City Chiefs? Show your red and white pride through Pizza Sliders. If you like one of the many teams with blue in their jerseys, try our Sticky Chicken Wings with Blue Cheese Dip or Sweet & Spicy Double-Blueberry Salsa. If you just want to promote good sportsmanship, you can never go wrong with our Pimiento Cheese Football Sandwiches (pictured above).
Throw a Mexican Tailgate Fiesta!
You can't go wrong with a big plate of Bean Dip Nachos. Spice things up with a Jalapeno Margarita, or give your guests an excuse to start the festivities early with these Steak 'n' Egg Quesadillas.
Happy football season!

Snack Stadium Showdown
When you can't make it to the stadium for your team's big game, why not craft up one of your own for at-home-viewing enjoyment? Made entirely out of edible football-favorite foods, these seriously cool snack stadiums are worthy centerpieces for any football party. Seem a bit too complicated for your expertise? Five crafty creators are here to help, sharing tips and ideas to master your very own snack stadium.

Sweet Victory
Skip the chips-and-dip and head straight for dessert! Natalie Mclaury of The Sweets Life constructed a sweet tooth-approved stadium made out of a fruit pizza using kiwi, skittles and dyed coconut as the grass, thin wooden dowels as the goal posts and chocolate mousse cups with candy on top to represent the fans. Plus, she surrounded her stadium with dippable treats for her creamy Funfetti cake mix dip! Mclaury used non-edible materials to construct the stadium and used foods as decoration that could easily be removed and eaten. "People took their time to ooh-and-aah over the stadium, but our friends were lured by the site of their favorite treats and couldn't resist digging in," she says.

Pizza Playing Field
Chad and Karen Nizaky of Trifatherhood knew that creating their snack stadium was not a one-man job, so they recruited their kids to help build their stadium. With a plan in mind, Chad, Karen and their three children ventured to the grocery store to pick up the ingredients for their snack-worthy project. The "field" of their stadium was a pizza with a large pepperoni football, but since Chad is a seasoned triathlete, they wanted to be sure to include some healthy options in their stadium, as well. Fruits and veggies like strawberries, grapes, carrots and cucumbers filled the stands, and they also included some crowd favorites like Chex Mix, cookies, pigs-in-a-blanket and chocolate croissants "The hardest part," Karen says, "was keeping our three children – twin four year-olds and an eight year-old – from eating it during the process!"

Crust Bowl
Stepping outside of the baking box, Dorothy Kern of Crazy for Crust constructed her stadium structure entirely out of pizza dough! While many might suspect that this version would be susceptible to crumbling, Kern mastered a secret method to ensure stability: Wrapping the dough around an inverted bundt pan. Kern recommends baking your stadium past the point of wanting to eat it, but slightly before it would burn. This will create a structure that is sturdy enough to stand on its own, hold treats within the stadium and avoid collapsing. Kern filled the stadium with chocolate cake batter dip and green frosting for dirt and grass, and emulated an audience by scattering colorful sprinkles on the wall of the stadium.

Go Team Pillsbury!
When tasked with the goal of creating a stand-out snack stadium, the masterminds at Pillsbury did not disappoint! It comes as no surprise that the culinary team had a goal of making their snack stadium primarily out of Pillsbury bread products and their own game-day recipes. They achieved this by covering the edges of each section of the stadium with breadsticks and filling them with appetizers and snacks ranging from pepperoni pizza to bacon cheddar pinwheels. The outside of the stadium was stacked with Italian sub sandwiches and the field was made of guacamole and salsa dips, which featured breadstick goalposts and a bread-based "Jumbotron."

Fly High!
When the Rachael Ray Show announced that they would be holding a contest for the best snack stadium, James Dibella, co-owner of Red Star Bar in Brooklyn, NY, knew he was up for the challenge — and he started with a big idea! Dibella chose to incorporate food items that are most well-known at Red Star Bar. In total, Dibella used 400 sliders, 12 dozen wings of hot, medium, mild and raspberry barbecue variety, 60 mozzarella sticks, 300 nacho flags and five pounds of guacamole and sour cream.

By Joe Keck
Well, I've had time to process our recent election and its results, and have done a bit of soul-searching, given it some serious gray matter and upon reflection, come to a conclusion.
It's over.
Now when I say, "It's over," I don't mean to sound like some cuckold, angry and hurt because my Republican Party has cheated on me AGAIN by nominating another RINO. Nor am I bitter because my candidate was rejected. My candidate wasn't rejected. I didn't vote for Obama and I didn't vote for Romney.
Reason being, both of them are pro-abortion.
Obama, proudly so, and Romney, although coquettish and demure like some teenage girl on her first date, still, he is in favor of taking the lives of babies. Oh not babies that are wanted. No no. Those babies get to live. Only the ones that are unfortunate enough to be the product of incest and rape. A fitting sentence – death – for a child who is so irresponsible as to have a rapist for a father.
That'll teach the little tyke.
That's like saying, "Well, sure, I believe in the sanctity of freedom for lighter skinned Africans, but of course I believe in enslaving really, really dark black people."
Thus, I cast no vote for either Presidential candidate.
As for me, I'm leaving. I'm leaving the world as I know it and this country can drink up all the gay marriage, thieving taxation, and infanticide it wants. My reason for this has little to do with the outcome of the election. Rather, it has to do with the "Slouching toward Gomorrah" as Robert Bork put it. The road of descent this country, and our world, has been traveling lo these many decades is a heartbreaking one.
A generation ago, no young woman – or mature woman for that matter – in casual conversation would have openly mentioned having non-marital sex with a man.
We Christians have lost that battle.
A generation ago, no TV sitcom would have had openly gay characters being laughed at and accepted as funny, cute, and overall acceptable.
Another battle lost.
A generation ago, a man who punched a woman in public would have been given a hard, pummeling lesson by three or four other men who saw him do it.
Another battle.
So, what's a masculine, John Wayner, "real man," Christian to do?
In a world where women have no compunction about using the F-word in a room full of people, where men have little reluctance admitting their dalliances with bisexuality now and then, where babies are murdered by the millions every day, where pornography is rampant, pedophilia is tolerated, and the words "Jesus Christ" are banned by our military chaplains overseas, what in the bloody &@^*#! hell is a Christian to &@^*#! do?
Conservative commentator Joseph Sobran said many years ago that the Democrats and the Republicans are both pulling the country down the slope of moral decadence, it's just that the Republicans are doing it at a slower rate.
The Democrat party has embraced Satan and the Republican Party has abandoned God. Which means, of course, that both parties have embraced Satan. Both have positioned themselves on the same Dark Side, it's just that one group is proud of it while the other is ignorant of it.
There is a section in the Bible where Jesus is telling his disciples about End Time prophesy. He talks of advancements of mankind and great things happening in the world as well as great and terrible disasters taking place. Then He gives them some advice, and as I see it by extension, the advice is to all people, then, now, and in ages to come.
". . . let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes." Matthew 24:16-18.
There is unmistakable urgency in those words.
I recognize that urgency and that's just what this Christian is going to do. I'm going to take my boat and flee to the mountains, the mountains of the ocean.
Now, for those of you experiencing abject terror and foreboding fear at the idea of no longer having my opinions and insightful political perspectives to read, you needn't worry. Take the razor away from your wrist and take two steps back. I will still be writing my weekly articles here on this excellent site, and I will continue to write my horror fiction short stories and novels. I just won't be doing it with any hope of the United States of America returning to her former state of grace and reverence for God. I will do it without the hope of my country ever coming back to the staid fealty to that which is good, righteous, and morally honorable. I do have one hope, though.
I hope I'm wrong.
It is possible, regardless of how it may look in these times of depravity and social decay, to get God's attention and woo His restoration. There is another verse in the Bible that offers such hope. It's in the Old Covenant and has to do with Israel, and again by extension, can apply to us.
"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." II Chronicles 7:14.
Hopefully for me, in the almost impossible instance that this happens, He'll have mercy on my sinful heart and heal the oceans as well.

A friend of mine recently returned from a Sunday restaurant dinner and asked me if most restaurants use their second-string employees on this slower night of the week. He went on to explain several missteps that took place on the night in question. First, he called the restaurant to explain that he had a flat tire and was running late on his reservation. But when someone on the other end of the phone simply answered, "Hello," he thought he had misdialed. Is this so and so ...

Dan River Narrows Loss in July
September 13, 2004-- Home Textiles Today,
Working its way through a sweeping restructuring and overhaul of operations, Dan River Inc. recorded a $5.1 million loss for the month of July, a substantial improvement over a loss of $18.6 million during June, when the company was hit by deep losses from its share of a Mexican subsidiary and almost $5 million in bankruptcy costs.
In a further lift to July's bottom line, the diversified textiles producer swung to a positive gross margin during the month, recovering from weakness in June. Average gross margin improved to 5 percent, compared with a negative gross margin of 2.6 percent during June, when the cost of making its products exceeded its sales.
Sales for the month of July totaled $40.99 million, a 22.1 percent improvement over June. In a highly computerized era, sales of home fashions companies are subject to wide monthly swings as their retail customers adjust inventories, sometimes stepping up the flow of goods, at other times postponing their shipment in response to weekly sales trends.
However, offsetting stronger margins, selling, general and administrative expense totaled 12.1 percent of sales, up from 9.1 percent in June.
Sharply skewing the month-over-month results, Dan River reduced the loss from its stake in a Mexican subsidiary to $92,000 from $4.8 million during June, when the company began to wind down operations there.
In another big skewing effect, Dan River pared its restructuring costs to $1 million from $4.6 million during June, when the company paid $1.2 million in bankruptcy fees; paid $696,000 in retention bonuses to key employees; and recorded a $2.8 million charge in connection with debt refinancing.
During July, the company took in $950,000 from the sale of assets, and another $542,333 from the sale of looms.

Hospital competition heats up
- published_in
- Publisher's Notebook
Even as Boulder Community Hospital continues its $130 million expansion of its Foothills Campus at Arapahoe Road and Foothills Parkway in Boulder, Exempla Healthcare announced plans for a future medical campus at Interstate 25 and Colorado Highway 52 in Frederick.
Exempla is also building a 147,000-square-foot Comprehensive Cancer Center at Exempla Good Samaritan Medical Center in Lafayette, putting it in competition with other cancer facilities, including those at Boulder Community and Longmont United Hospital.
Boulder Community's expansion means a shift of most medical operations from the main hospital on Broadway, while rehabilitation services will move from the Mapleton facility — formerly Boulder Memorial Hospital — to the Broadway location.
For Exempla, which operates the 234-bed Exempla Good Samaritan Medical Center on U.S. Highway 287 in Lafayette, a future campus in Frederick will put it in direct competition with University of Colorado Health's Poudre Valley Health System, which is building the Indian Peaks Medical Center in the area.
All in all, Exempla's announcement felt like déjà vu. In 2008, Phoenix-based Banner Health, which operates North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley and McKee Medical Center in Loveland, announced plans for a medical campus in Frederick, before abandoning the plans in the wake of the recession two years later. The land purchased by Exempla is the same parcel once targeted by Banner.
Meanwhile, Kaiser Permanente this year expanded into Northern Colorado, with facilities in Fort Collins and Loveland. Kaiser is a major player at Exempla Good Samaritan Medical Center and forged an alliance with Banner Health for its Northern Colorado expansion.
These days, to speak of the Boulder Valley health-care sector or the Northern Colorado health-care sector is really a misnomer. All of the hospitals within Boulder County, including Boulder Community, Longmont United, Exempla Good Samaritan and Avista Hospital in Louisville, target patients from areas far wider than just municipal boundaries, stretching into Larimer and Weld counties, or farther into the Denver metropolitan area.
Poudre Valley is now a component of University of Colorado Health, along with University of Colorado Hospital. The group also recently assumed management of Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs and is completing a management agreement with Ivinson Memorial Hospital in Laramie, Wyoming.
What's driving all of the joint ventures and head-to-head competition? The joint ventures at the same time reflect a desire to contain administrative costs, and to place individual hospitals in a position to survive the uncertainties of health-care reform. And each of these facilities is hoping to secure a hefty share of new patients as population increases, and as more patients enter the health-care system.
For local observers of the health-care scene, we're likely to experience déjà vu all over again. And again.

Contact: David Jwanier, media relations associate, 610-740-3790
Allentown, PA (December 18, 2008)—The Cedar Crest College Art Department established an artist-in-residence program in 2007 and for the first time this fall, the position was filled by one of the college's own. Betsy J. Harting, of Whitehall, a 1978 dual-major graduate in related arts/elementary education, was thankful for the opportunity to return to her alma mater and help art students realize their potential.
"It was both very rewarding and inspiring to return to CCC—the campus I loved 30 years ago—and teach the young students who are there now," said Harting, who helped the students create individual altered board books, and demonstrated art journaling techniques. "I love to teach and inspire others and I not only got to do that, but also found it most rewarding to see the students sharing their ideas and inspiring me. It is very rewarding to help inspire these young artists' lives!"
Harting said her experience as a student at Cedar Crest laid the foundation for her career, which has included, among other things, dancing in Coppelia and The Nutracker with the New Orleans Ballet early in her career, and a turn designing craft kits for Big Yellow Box by Crayola, an in-home party division. Her work has appeared in Somerset Studio, Inspirations, Legacy, Stampers' Sampler, HandCrafted, and Rubber Stamper magazines.
"My greatest lessons came from Bill Clark in ceramics class, where he taught me the process of creating was more important than the result. I teach that now in my classes–to literally create without the inner critic stopping you from moving forward," she said. "It's not about a beautiful piece, but what you learn as you create it. And when you free yourself to that idea, you do create some great stuff."
Harting has returned to campus several times over the years to participate in alumnae art shows. She currently works as marketing and communications specialist for Olympus America, and teaches classes art journaling classes at Blick Art Materials at South Mall in Allentown.

Two great recent shows
Over the weekend I saw two big-band concerts: the 10-piece free-improv Instant Composers Pool Orchestra at the Library of Congress, and the 8-piece post-rock collective Do Make Say Think at the Black Cat. These were both excellent shows, albeit very different, of course. I think the latter was good enough that it's destined to make my top 10 list by the end of the year, easily.
But first things first — ICP Orchestra played this gig of their 40th anniversary tour to a respectably large audience at the Library of Congress' Coolidge Auditorium. I had never seen any of these guys before, but was familiar with Misha Mengelberg, Ab Baars and of course the ubiquitous Han Bennink. They surprised me by playing very accessible music clearly grounded in the jazz idiom — probably a function of the audience and venue. No need to scare everyone away at a free show, I guess. In any case, Bennink was completely nuts. I had no idea he acted out so much, but the dude was ridiculous. At almost 65 years old, it seemed like he had about three times more energy than the rest of the band combined, and in fact he kind of overpowered them at times with his playing (and his vocalizing would have made Keith Jarrett blush). He sat behind a single snare drum and eked all kinds of noises from it, but didn't satisfy himself there — on several occasions he leapt out of his seat and played pretty much anything on the stage that struck his fancy, including chairs, music stands, the floor, his foot, and so on and so forth. Entertaining, to say the least.
Oh right, the rest of the band. The other nine were just as fun to watch, if for a totally different reason: it was neat to see their interplay, the little nods and hand signals present at any improv show, the way they would split into little mini-ensembles that would seemingly play in opposition to each other before coming together just as spontaneously. Again, for the most part the improvising stayed in relatively structured and melodic territory (and the harmonies that this large ensemble stumbled upon were often beautiful), but it was a pretty rewarding show nonetheless.
One last note about this show: by total random chance I sat next to the saxophonist from DC Improvisers Collective, whom I'd never spoken to but recognized from the one show of theirs that I attended a month or so ago. We had a very brief interaction in which he mentioned that DCIC might be playing as backup for Joe Lally, ex-bassist for Fugazi, something that sounds very interesting indeed!
Moving on, Sunday's show at the Black Cat got off to a less-than-promising start, as the openers, death-country group Elliott Brood, cancelled with no explanation. But when Do Make Say Think got on stage, all was forgiven. My brief recap at the ProgAndOther list:
I think DMST are the most interesting current post-rock band, and the only one who doesn't seem to be rehashing the same formula over and over again (don't get me wrong, I tend to like that formula, but you know…). I too was struck by the diversity of instrumentation, and their compositions really take advantage of that diversity.
The sound at the DC show was definitely at earplugs-needed levels (I put mine in after the first song), but their soundman was fabulous and even at the high volume levels, little things really came through in the mix - especially the violinist. It seemed like a lot of the band's modus operandi was to develop a repetitive, trancey beat with subtle ornamentation from the guitars, and then a beautiful melody would surface out of the murk, on violin or horns or gently picked guitar. Really gorgeous stuff.
The diversity of instrumentation I reference comes from the fact that many members of the eight-piece band played two or three different instruments over the course of the show. The "standard" lineup seemed to be two guitars, bass, violin, trumpet, sax, and two drummers (although admittedly the horns were used more for color and ornamentation than for melody or lead lines), but when called for, there'd be a third guitar, or there'd be some keyboard or marimba in the mix, or the guitarists would pick up horns to make a muscular four-piece brass front line. Every one of these guys, but especially the three who rotated on guitars and bass, are impressively accomplished musicians, with some of the more intricate guitar picking a consistent highlight throughout the show. However, it was the violinist who held it all together for me. While the rest of the band was jamming along to trancelike rhythms or blissing out to ear-splitting climaxes (one audience member's good-natured heckle: "do you guys have any songs with, like, big crescendoes?"), she was more often than not playing gorgeous melodies that, thanks to the skills of the soundman, were clearly audible even above the din.
Highlights of the show for me were all the quieter pieces like "A Tender History in Rust" — no post-rock group does quiet and pretty better than these guys — and the polar opposite, the extroverted and energetic "Horns of a Rabbit," which absolutely slayed. But the whole set was fabulous, and it ended with a good sign: the guitarist said, "See you in the fall," seeming to indicate that DMST will in fact be touring again soon. This is one band that I wouldn't hesitate to see again, as their material is much more memorable live than on record (and I like their records).
Let me tell ya, Christina Aguilera (who yes, I am going to see tonight) has a lot to live up to. :-)

UPDATE: USGS info on the explosion
From the department of bad news. North Korea joins the club which includes nearly-failed state Pakistan and newly-reevilized Russia. North Korea has the atomic bomb. USGS has a seismic map of Korea which should soon show the nuclear test.
The bad part of this is that both Pakistan and North Korea are trading partners with Iran. The Axis of Evil is growing teeth.

Clinch yesterday
My opinion, for what it's worth .....
Anybody who has fished the Clinch in any form or fashion with any regularity pretty much knows what to expect, where and when. My saying/sharing with others on this board that I had a good day in a certain location on the river should not be disclosing any big secret. I seriously doubt it has much influence at all whether more people head to the river.
So, this begs the question; why have a place to share this information? Does it promote business for the sponsor, LRO? To a certain extent, sure. Is that bad? **** no! Does it promote interest in fishing, fly or otherwise? Sure it does. Next time you are out fishing take a look around to see how many young people are enjoying the sport. From my personal experience, you are going to see far more white hair out there than 20 somethings. I am all for disconnecting as many kids as possible from their XBox to discover the great outdoors.
As Madison Boats points out, the river is a resource for all of us. Let's share it, take care of it, protect it and encourage others to do the same.

Indian land additions at risk
South Dakota's long legal fight with the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe over the tribe's ability to buy land and place it in federal trust could affect tribal economic development across the country. From 1990 until 2006, when the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the case, the state pursued litigation against Lower Brule, which put 91 acres along Interstate 90 at Oacoma into trust.

[2010 Year-End List] Favorite Songs
So I've compiled a list of my favorites songs from 2010. It was… an interesting year for me. If you can pick out a theme among the songs, you're probably right about it. I know some were released in 2009 but they were more prominent this year. And yeah, some won't be released until 2011 but it's not that I can unhear them and unlike them. The world doesn't function like Facebook.
Not to run off on some tangent, but I'm not sure what qualifies anyone to write a list and call the songs on it the best. So it might only be a slight semantic difference, but I'm not making that mistake here–this is a list of my favorites. Largehearted Boy has more year end lists to check out if you want.
I've included Soundcloud streams and links to some of the posts written throughout the year on the songs. It may take a second to load all the songs. Without further ado, here's the list:

Last week, the Patriots defense looked worse than a Hollywood celebrity sans makeup. But thankfully this is the NFL and New England has a shot to rebound against a reeling Washington Redskins team.
The 'Skins showed promise by starting the season with a solid 3-1 record but then lost six straight and are undergoing more turmoil than Libya.
Their next opponents are the tough New England Patriots and Brady and company are favorites heading into FedEx Field.
Here's how New England can steal the show in our nation's capital.

Fire Damages Watertown Apartment Complex
A fire in the city of Watertown forced people from their homes and into the cold early Tuesday morning.
The fire was at Gabriel Courts, an apartment complex on Olmstead Drive near Thompson Park.
Officials say the fire started on the second floor of the building and spread through the roof.
No one was hurt, but there's major fire damage to one of the apartments and three others sustained water damage.
"The fire was quite advanced when we made it to the scene," said fire battalion Chief Matt Timerman.
"We used some of our heavy fire streams to knock the fire down and then advanced in and extinguish the fire in the upstairs vacant apartment."
In all, five people were told they would need to find a new place to stay.
