The University of Michigan women's lacrosse team (0-6, 0-3 ALC) will host its first-ever game in Michigan Stadium on Thursday (March 20) when it welcomes Winthrop (2-5, 0-0 Big South) for a 7 p.m. non-conference tilt. Following the matchup at the Big House, the Wolverines will travel to State College, Pa., to go head to head with ALC foe Penn State (5-3, 1-0 ALC) on Sunday (March 23) at 1 p.m.
Women's Competition in Michigan Stadium
The inaugural women's lacrosse team is not the first varsity women's program to play in Michigan Stadium, as the Wolverine field hockey team played its games in the Big House from 1973-75, prior to the construction of Ocker Field.
Wolverines Against Ranked Opponents
Michigan wrapped up a three-game stretch against top-15 ALC opponents on Sunday (March 16), falling at No. 14 Johns Hopkins. The Wolverines opened ALC play on (March 8) at No. 5 Florida, dropping a 20-4 decision and hosted No. 8 Northwestern (March 11) for their first home conference tilt, losing, 20-6.
The Wolverines will play their fourth ranked conference opponent on Sunday (March 23) when they travel to No. 10 Penn State. U-M will also take on No. 20 Ohio State (April 2) and No. 19 Navy (April 5) in back-to-back games in two weeks.
Multiple Goal Outings
Seven different Michigan players have recorded multi-goal games this season, including a team-best three multi-goal performances from Anna Schueler. Jess Angerman holds the U-M record for most goals in a single game with four against Marquette, while Lauren Oberlander's hat trick vs. Marquette ranks second. Kim Coughlan was the most-recent Wolverine to join the multi-goal club with two tallies on Sunday (March 16) at Johns Hopkins.
Controlling the Draw
Michigan won the draw control battle for the first time this season at No. 14 Johns Hopkins, 15-12, on March 16. Anna Schueler came away with a game-high and career-best six draw controls to lead the Wolverines.
Capitalizing on Opportunities
The Wolverines are being outshot by their opponents, 202-90, through six games this season but are capitalizing well on their limited attempts. U-M has put 71.1 percent of its shot attempts on goal and scored on 43.4 percent of its total shot attempts.
First Time for Everything
Eleven different Wolverines have scored at least one goal in the first six games of the season, marking the first of their careers at Michigan, and of those 11, seven have also assisted on at least one goal. Jess Angerman leads the way with 13 points on seven goals and six assists, including four goals and two assists against Marquette, marking her first career hat trick. Anna Schueler leads the team in goals with nine, including three two-goal performances. Tess Korten has recorded five goals and three assists, including the first goal in program history. Lauren Oberlander has tallied five goals and an assist, with her first career hat trick coming against Marquette. Amanda Sutor was the most-recent Wolverine to notch her first career goal, doing so in the second half at Johns Hopkins.
Consistent Starters
Nine Wolverines have started all six games for Michigan, including Anna Schueler, Jess Angerman, Lauren Oberlander, Tess Korten, Regan Anderson, Sara Beach, Brooke Pancoast, Kelly Kubach and Allison Silber.
Scouting the Opponent: Winthrop
Winthrop, a member of the Big South Conference, will enter Thursday's game with a 2-5 record, including wins at George Mason (7-6) and against Saint Francis (19-10). The Eagles dropped their most-recent game against Denver (16-9) on Monday (March 17). Florida is the only opponent that both teams have in common so far this season -- Michigan lost to the Gators, 20-4, while Winthrop dropped a 21-5 decision at UF.
The second-year program is guided by head coach John Sung, who led Winthrop to a 9-8 overall record in its first season in 2013 -- the most wins by any first-year Division I program. Prior to starting the program at Winthrop, Sung helped develop another first-year team at Adrian College (Div. III) as head coach from 2008-11 (46-19 record). Before taking over at Adrian, Sung spent five years (2003-07) as the assistant women's varsity club lacrosse coach at the University of Michigan. The Wolverines accumulated a 93-22 record while he was the assistant coach.
Winthrop has five players in double-digit points this season, led by junior attacker Jenna Kasmarik, who has a team-best 25 goals and is also tied for the team lead in draw controls with 26 total. Prior to Winthrop's game against Denver on Monday (March 17), where she scored four of those 25 goals, she was tied for 10th in the NCAA, averaging 3.5 goals per game. Kasmarik has been named Big South Player of the week on two occasions this season. Sophomore goalie Camille King has seen all but nine minutes in cage for the Eagles this season, making 51 saves and allowing 13.33 goals per game.
Scouting the Opponent: No. 10 Penn State
Penn State, which is led by fourth-year head coach Missy Doherty, owns a 5-3 overall record and 1-0 mark in ALC play, with its lone conference win coming most recently at Vanderbilt on March 15 (14-8). PSU is 1-2 against ranked opponents this season after falling to No. 3 Maryland (14-7) and No. 9 Virginia (12-11) and taking down No. 12 Loyola (18-11). The Nittany Lions will not play again before hosting Michigan on Sunday (March 23).
Penn State has eight players with double-digit points this season, including a team-best 21 points (8G, 13A) from 5-10 junior attacker Maggie McCormick. Kelly Lechner leads the Nittany Lions with 17 goals, while Jenna Mosketti and Madison Cyr have added 16 and 15 goals, respectively. Mosketti leads the team in draw controls with 35 total and is ranked 26th in the NCAA with 4.38 per game. Senior defender Lauren Purvis is anchoring PSU's defense with 13 ground balls and 12 caused turnovers. Sophomore Emi Smith (2-1 record) and freshman Cat Rainone (3-2 record) have split all but 25 minutes in goal for the Nittany Lions. Smith owns a goals-against average of 8.92 and saves percentage of .493.
Women's Lax 101
There are currently 103 NCAA Division I women's lacrosse programs across the country that compete in 13 different conferences. Michigan is a member of the American Lacrosse Conference (ALC), along with Northwestern, Florida, Penn State, Ohio State, Johns Hopkins and Vanderbilt. Recognized as one of the most competitive conferences in the country, Florida, Northwestern, Penn State, Johns Hopkins and Ohio State are each currently ranked in the top 20 nationally. Starting in the 2015 season, Michigan will compete in the newly formed Big Ten Women's Lacrosse Conference (Michigan, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers, Maryland). [ IWLCA Division I Poll ]
Leaders of the Pack
The team and coaches voted on a five-person Leadership Council in the fall that will take the place of team captains for the young first-year squad. Jess Angerman, Emily Braun, Tess Korten, Kelly Kubach and Anna Schueler were elected to help lead Team One day-to-day, while individual game captains will be selected on a game-by-game basis.
Team One Makes History
The Wolverines have experienced several "firsts" through their first six games as a varsity program. Thursday's game against Winthrop will cross another "first" off the list, as the Maize and Blue hosts its first-ever game in Michigan Stadium.
U-M hosted Marquette in its inaugural home opener on Feb. 28. The Maize and Blue took an early 5-0 lead in the first 5:25 of play but could not hold off MU's counterattack, eventually falling, 12-10. Jess Angerman had a game-high four goals and two assists, including the first two scores of the game, and Lauren Oberlander also recorded her first career hat trick.
The Wolverines played the first game in program history on Feb. 22, at Villanova, coming up short, 20-7. Freshman Tess Korten wasted no time etching her name into the record book, as she scored the first goal in program history just 32 seconds into the game on an assist from freshman Jess Angerman to give U-M an early 1-0 lead. Korten finished with a team-high two goals and one assist. Anna Schueler also added two goals, while Allie Breitfeller, Sophie duPhily and Regan Anderson also scored their first career goals in the historic game.
Meet the Coaching Staff
Jennifer Ulehla was announced as Michigan's first head coach in program history on Sept. 8, 2011. She signed the program's first recruiting class -- U-M's current team -- on Nov. 21, 2012, and has been working to build a championship culture within her program from day one.
Prior to coming to Ann Arbor, Ulehla gained experience in the development of a new program as an assistant coach at Florida from January 2008-June 2010. Taking a hiatus from collegiate lacrosse, Ulehla worked as an assistant coach with the U.S. National Elite Team from 2006-2009. Previous collegiate head coaching stops for Ulehla also include Temple (2004-06) and James Madison (1994-2002). She was inducted into the James Madison University Athletics Hall of Fame on Nov. 15, 2013, for her contributions to the program.
As a player, Ulehla was a two-time All-American at Maryland (1990-91) and also competed on the U.S. National Lacrosse team from 1990-95.
Assistant coach Jen Valore joined Ulehla's staff on Dec. 23, 2012, and is working primarily with the Wolverine defense. Valore was a four-year starter on defense for Ulehla at James Madison from 1997-2000. She captained the Dukes squad that reached the Final Four and was named South Jersey Collegiate Defender of the Year in 2000. Valore was also an assistant under Ulehla at Temple from 2004-06.
Assistant coach Casey Ancarrow was the latest addition to U-M's staff (July 1, 2013) and is the Wolverines' offensive specialist. She recently completed a standout career at James Madison, where she was a three-time IWLCA All-America third team selection and two-time Tewaaraton Award nominee. In addition to her career at JMU, Ancarrow was also a member of the U.S. Women's National Team from 2010-12.
Tess Korten will look to use her speed and good field vision to find multiple ways to score for the Wolverines. She led U-M in its season opener with two goals and one assists, including the program's first goal just 32 seconds into the game. Against Marquette, she added a goal and as assist.
Lauren Oberlander will look to use her speed to create her own shot and, as well as off the ball to get open in the eight meter. Oberlander tallied her first career assist at Villanova before recording her first career hat trick against Marquette.
Jess Angerman possesses the ability to score in many ways for the Wolverines. After dishing out one assist on the program's first goal at Villanova, she exploded with a four goal-two assist performance against Marquette.
Anna Schueler is one of U-M's primary players taking the draw and has a strong presence on both ends of the field. She recorded a pair of goals and four draw controls at Villanova and added a pair of draw controls against Marquette.
Kim Coughlan missed U-M's first game due to a foot injury, but returned against Marquette, coming off the bench. She is a high-energy competitor that will look to contribute on both ends of the field and will be key in U-M's midfield transition.
Madeline Dion is one of Michigan's most athletic and fit players. Her speed will allow her to create offensive opportunities for the Wolverines and conversely help mark some of the opponent's top attackers on the defensive end. She tallied a goal and an assist against Marquette, marking her first points in a Maize and Blue uniform.
Kelly Kubach will look to use her ability as an on-ball defender and vocal leadership to anchor the Wolverine defense. She is an extremely smart player that will help the defense communicate and work as a unit. She tallied one caused turnover and one ground ball against Villanova in the season-opener.
Brooke Pancoast is one of the Wolverines strongest and tallest defenders with the ability to get in passing lanes and cause turnovers. She will look to be a solid mark-up defender, and use her strong field vision to direct Michigan's defensive unit. Against Villanova, she came away with two draw controls.
Allison Silber has earned the start in cage for the Wolverines in each of the first two games, making 18 total saves, and will be U-M's primary goalie this season. Her strong presence in the crease will be an asset to U-M's young defense, while her ability to clear the ball will be an important catalyst in Michigan's midfield transition.

Birch Bracket (Piptoporus betulinus - also known as Razor Strop) is one of the most common polyporous bracket fungi and, as the name suggests, grows almost exclusively on Birch trees.
The brackets burst out from the bark of the tree, and these fruiting bodies can last for more than a year.
Technically, it is an edible mushroom, with a strong, pleasant "mushroomy" odour but a bitter taste.
It is said to have medicinal properties, and the velvety cut surface of the fruiting body were used as a strop for finishing the finest of edges on razors.
Dried specimens have also been used as tinder, and this fungus was carried by "Ötzi the Iceman" - the 5,000 year old mummy found in the Tyrol.
It is a necrotrophic parasite on weakened Birches, and will cause brown rot and eventually death, being one of the most common fungi visible on dead Birches.

Ensure Your Company's Diversity Program Succeeds
Add a work-life component to your company's existing diversity program. Biases against caregivers, the all or nothing schedules, and poorly administered workplace flexibility policies are all factors that lead to attrition among employees with caregiving responsibilities. Studies show that when these factors are combined with racial and other barriers, attrition among employees of color increases at a greater rate than attrition among white employees without caregiving responsibilities. Without an effective work/life component, your company's diversity program will fail to control attrition, and as a result, will fail to achieve its goals.Raise awareness through training.

Oshkosh Says Icahn Selected 'A Slate of Friends' for Board
Oshkosh Corp. (OSK) said billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn selected "a slate of friends" for nomination to its board of directors.
The truckmaker based in the Wisconsin city of the same name confirmed today in a statement that it received Icahn's nominees. It said 12 of the 13 nominees are employees or affiliates of Icahn-controlled entities or repeat nominees from his previous proxy fights.
"Shareholders should be aware that Mr. Icahn selected a slate of friends, employees and affiliates so that they are focused on serving only one agenda -- Carl Icahn's," the company said today in the statement.
Oshkosh's board last week rejected Icahn's bid to buy the company for about $3 billion, or $32.50 a share. Icahn, the company's largest investor with a 9.5 percent stake, led an unsuccessful proxy fight earlier this year. Oshkosh rose less than 1 percent to $29.92 at the close on Oct. 26 in New York. U.S. stock trading was canceled today because of Hurricane Sandy.
Icahn has criticized Oshkosh's executives for poor performance. He has said he wants to spin off JLG Industries Inc., which makes construction-lift equipment, because it is more valuable as a separate entity. The unit was purchased by Oshkosh about six years ago.
The nominees are Icahn himself, William Lasky, Jose Maria Alapont, William Leidesdorf, Daniel Ninivaggi, Marc Gustafson, James Cowan, James Nelson, Jack Wassserman, A.B. Krongard, Keith Cozza, SungHwan Cho and Hunter Gary.

|Mon, 3 Mar 2003 15:15:37 +0100
thank you very much for your reply. I am not sure I understand the - grep - part of your email, though. What does - grep - mean? Also, I don't see the - tutorial - command in the list in your e-mail. How can I be sure about whether it has been eliminated? Am I supposed to check its entry in the Stata documentation? I've tried -findit totorial- but have been unable to find a (however short) communication about its disappearance. This makes me feel a bit puzzled. I am about to update my class notes to account for the new release of Stata 8: the existence of a document listing all out-of-date commands would save me the checking of every single Stata 7 command I use in my notes before teaching...

Not as such. A few commands have been moved to undocumented: see help on -undocumented-, although that help mostly documents _new_ stuff intended for programmers, and it is not comprehensive: many undocumented commands are, indeed, undocumented. "out-of-date" is much fuzzier than it may seem, even focusing entirely on official Stata.

cowboy capital of the Guancaste province. Not much to say about
Liberia except that we had some damn good fried chicken there.
We took the first bus in the morning heading to Monteverde, land of
the famous cloud forest reserve
which is something like 14 zip lines and a tarzan swing through the
cloud forest. Also, we might see some nature, but we�ve seen so much
already that we�re getting kind of jaded.
Upon arrival, the bus dropped us off in the middle of town and
immediately about 5 people came up to us trying to get us to go to
their hotels. Right in front of us we saw some hand written signs in
Hebrew at the hostel/tourist info center and then this guy comes out
and asks us where we�re from. When we tell him Israel, he immediately
starts talking to us in Hebrew and between his welcome and the signs
in Hebrew telling us to go here, we decide to do it. Paying $5 per
person per night for a nice bed and hot showers wasn�t too bad either.
Tonight we did something different - a night tour in the cloud forest,
with a guide, for the first time
animals (mainly insects and other creepy crawlies). Ido�s favorites
were the sloth, who we saw doing his lazy sloth thing in a tree and a
tiny yellow/orange frog. Phoenix�s favorites were the bat and the
giant salamander (no good pic of that one, sorry, or of the sloth - it
was dark and raining!).
Tomorrow is the canopy tour. We are excited and ready for an adrenaline rush.
We�ll write more soon!

There is no way to exclude them, so the only way to combat these people is to ignore them when it becomes apparent what they're trying to do. To answer them is to make them happy, because an answer hands them another chance to provoke.
I'm not ranting about civility or niceness, just time and effort wasting.

In Britain, August is known as silly season in the press due to the fact that there isn't enough going on to make sensible articles about.
I think this is silly season here and will remain so until our kids get back to school and there are important issues like homework for them to play around with.

I've been snookered! All this time I thought the more extreme pro-MI posters who avoid the issues by calling attention to irrelevant personal attacks were legitimate. Now I learn there's even a name for them: provocateurs.

"sensitive topics", lol! the one in the "why dont bikes stop at stop signs?" consists of whiney neighbors complaining about cyclists not stopping at stop signs, and then some whiney parent started complaining about cyclists wearing spandex, then whiney cyclists started complaining about the parent complaining about spandex. what a sorry state of affairs!

Leonard S,
I think you misunderstand me, there will always be personality issues, misunderstandings, people who read tone into posts that were not meant and disagreements that go overboard.
There is another class, the poster that creates issues for sport.
I am talking about people that misrepresent their background or their beliefs just to get a rise out of people.
My examples would be different, but I'll use one of yours, I do not believe the person complaining about spandex was a mother with a 5 year old child. It was just someone trying to get people worked up for their own personal entertainment. One could really detect it in the later posts that got deleted.
Thats what I think Peter is refering to.
Under this style of forum though, that sort of posting is going to happen, there is no real way to prevent it.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Aug 3, 2007 at 6:15 pm
RS, what did the deleted posts say? that complaining parent struck me as a typical poster on these forums with petty complaints to air out to anyone who will read them.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Aug 3, 2007 at 6:35 pm
Sorry, I'm not going to repeat what PAonline decided to delete and do I want to improve the skills of that poster by pointing out what I noticed.
Mainly I am trying to explain what I think Peter is pointing at, posters that masquerade for the pure joy of irritating others.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Aug 3, 2007 at 7:21 pm
does PA online censor only the most obscene, pornographic, profane material or does it also censor controversial or touchy comments that have the potential to, god forbid, possibly offend someone?
a resident of Ventura
on Aug 3, 2007 at 7:47 pm
Leonard S.:
To answer your question regarding what sort of posts get deleted in this forum, please start by going to the thread titled "Bringing light to the world" found here: Web Link
In response to what seemed to me to be a fluff piece about a local Chabad, I've posted some information about Chabad Lubovitch leadership and belief sytems, including a link to a Chabad website.
This is exactly the sort of information that is routinely deleted by this forum's moderators.

The government will recommend strict action against 25 Lok Sabha MPs to Speaker Meira Kumar in a bid to get the Telangana bill passed peacefully, parliamentary affairs minister Kamal Nath said after chaos prevailed in the Lower House over the issue of separate statehood.
"The government, home ministry and the police will take action in accordance with the directions of the Speaker," the minister said after an expelled Congress lawmaker used pepper spray in Lok Sabha. TDP MP Venugopal Reddy was charged with brandishing a knife inside the House. He, however, denied the allegation.Terming the violent episode in Lok Sabha during the introduction of the Andhra Pradesh State Reorganisation Bill as a blot in the history of Parliament, Nath said outside the House, "A group of 25 MPs cannot hold the entire House hostage. We will recommend strictest possible action against them."

Despite the unprecedented ruckus where MPs had fisticuffs, Nath sounded optimistic about the future of the bill. "We will definitely push for its discussion and passage. The Speaker will have to decide how to put the House in order during the discussion and voting."
The Congress leaders refused to accept that the UPA's floor management failed to tackle the situation. Nath, flanked by his deputy Rajeev Shukla, added that members always had the scope to vote the bill out instead of resorting to violence.
Full Coverage: Telangana, the troubled state
The bill is likely to come up for discussion and passing next week, after the passage of the Vote on Account on February 19. As the Parliament session is slated to end on February 21, the government will have a short window to pass the Telangana bill in both Houses. If not passed, the Telangana bill will lapse at the end of the current Lok Sabha.
The Congress had earlier expelled six MPs for bringing a no-confidence motion against the UPA government.

Awareness and knowledge on human trafficking: UN.GIFT Catalogue
Since its inception in 2007, UN.GIFT has worked on mobilizing all State and non-State actors to eradicate human trafficking. This has been done mainly through increasing knowledge and raising awareness on human trafficking, building capacity and fostering innovative partnerships.
Since then, UN.GIFT has utilized its successful partnerships with the organizations of its Steering Committee, civil society organizations and the private sector to launch a number of publications, tools and initiatives that are now compiled in a CD-ROM, the new UN.GIFT Catalogue.
The UN.GIFT Catalogue presents a collection of some the most relevant work done under UN.GIFT. Featuring an easy-to-navigate menu, the catalogue showcases a wide variety of human trafficking resources: publications, reports, concept notes, videos and photos and the VITA (Victims Translation Assistance) tool, that be can downloaded for further dissemination and use.
The UN.GIFT Catalogue, in a CD-ROM format accompanied by a brochure was launched during the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Conventions against Transnational Organized Crime and its Protocols, in Vienna October 18-22, 2010.
The aim of the UN.GIFT Catalogue is to provide all stakeholders working against human trafficking knowledge tools that can be used, disseminated and enhanced with the creation of new knowledge. The resources present knowledge on human trafficking from different angles, targeting a broad range of audiences. The UN.GIFT Catalogue is also available through the UN.GIFT.HUB.

Recently we were invited to a Samsung product showcase, where the focus was on computer monitors. Aside from the new SyncMaster EcoFit and LapFit ranges, both of which we've already reviewed, there was the 22in 2233RZ 120Hz 3D monitor which uses nVidia's powered glasses, and a few other pleasant surprises.
In my very limited time with the 2233, I found the 3D did work, but not quite well enough to make this reviewer want to give up his 24in PVA for a 22in TN. Still, as always we'll let you know our definitive verdict in the review which is coming soon.
Of the complete newcomers, first we have Samsung's latest Touch of Color (ToC) 16:9 'Lavender' range. Available in sizes between 20in (1,600 x 900) and 23in (Full HD), these are quite similar to previous ToC TNs in terms of specifications.
However, as far as design is concerned their aggressively-angled "gem-cut" styling is a dramatic departure from the soft curves and rounded angles of previous Samsung ranges. These sharp lines are complemented by "sunset" colours incorporated in the bezel and a new red-backlit touch control system.
The highlight of the show though was Samsung's new Navy range. Anyone who knows their monitors will tell you that TN technology, with its poor viewing angles and colour reproduction, simply isn't good enough for image manipulation - and even entertainment is markedly better on monitors using superior PVA or IPS panels.
If you're this discerning, the Navy range is for you. The 20in (1,600 x 900) F2080 and 23in (1,920 x 1,080) F2380 deliver brand-new cPVA panels offering true 178-degree viewing angles and a stunning native contrast ratio of 3,000:1 (150,000:1 Dynamic), all while using a mere 45W (for the larger F2380).
Professional quality is not just limited to the panel either, with an industrial-looking chassis that feels incredibly solid yet remains quite slim, sporting a narrow 15mm bezel and only 2.7cm at its sides. It also offers VESA wall mounting.
Connectivity comes in the form of twin DVI-Ds and a single VGA input, and the weighty aluminium stand doesn't disappoint either with 130mm of height adjustment, generous tilt and swivel, and of course pivot. Adjustments were perfectly smooth, and both Navys looked and felt like premium products.
Best of all, the pricing is anything but premium, with the F2080 coming in at a low MSRP of £199.99 and its bigger Full HD sibling at an even more tantalising £259.99. Colour us impressed.

We decided last year, that we want to design a unique Cycling Kit, that was all about Burry. To sell through the foundation and also raise money for the projects we want to get involved in. First the back of the shirt was designed by Sylvester le Roux (Charl, the older brother, has got a tattoo on his arm, with that design. On the one side we put Burry's nick name, that he got, when he started out as a professional "THE DART" because he was young and had no seeding, he had to start on the last row at World Cup and then sprinted to make up positions.
The other side we put BURRY's name.
The front we put the SA flag, as Burry was a true ambassador for South Africa. On the other side we put the word "RESPECT" as we feel,
He was a true role model to everyone, he was taken far too early and as his legacy lives on, he deserves 'RESPECT"
We also added the 'BURRY STANDER FOUNDATION" and #iRide4Burry.

It is dark and shadows fill the area. The shadows favor The Reendemer but Demosapien himself is from the underworld. The Reendemer knew this battle would be hard. He thought it would be like the battle from when they first met. He had been waiting for the day they battled once more.
"Alright Demosapien I am here now will you show yourself or hide in fear. That soul should have been mine it is because of your arrogance I did not get him. Now you will pay."
He slunk back into the shadows and awaited Demosapiens arrival.

CITY FINAL 35 CENTS RAPIDS, IOWA, .SUNDAY, NOVKMBEH 1074 ASSOCIATED PRESS, UPI, NEW YORK TIMES Party Pros Put Mills into Lead New York Times Srrvice LITTLE ROCK, Ark. The Arkansas Democratic party and several of the state's best political operatives have gone to work to save Rep. Wilbur Mills from an annoyed elec- torate. Arkansas observers and a number of polls place Ihe 65- year-old chairman of the house ways and means committee well ahead of his 31-year-old Republican opponent, Mrs. Judy Petty. But the polls also .show unusually large numbers of undecided voters and that worries the Mills people. Mills has settled down to campaigning in earnest since Ihe embarrassing incident at the Tidal basin in Washington during the early morning hours of Oct. 7. The national park police stopped his car, which was speeding and operating without lights, and found Mills and four other oc- cupants intoxicated. One companion, a former night club stripper, leaped into Ihe water of the Tidal basin and was pulled out by the police. Fumbled When he came out of seclusion after the incident. Mills reversed his previous decision to ignore his opponent and run a low-key campaign. He returned to Arkansas, apologized to the voters and started running hard. Political sources here say In? fumbled at first, possibly because he was unaccustomed to campaigning. He had nol been challenged seriously since he entered the house 3ti years ago. He reportedly began by con- tacting a handful of wealthy business friends in put together a campaign organiza-' lion. They tried, but found they lacked the skill to do it. Then some longtime friends who are experienced political operatives stepped in and of- fered their services. Several of those have been active in liberal, black and reform movements in recent years. Others have worked for con- servative candidates and causes, including the presiden- tial candidacy of George Wallace, governor of Alabama. Liberals Irked There is talk that this is the last time the liberals will work for Mills if he does not produce effective tax reform from the ways and means committee before the election of 197fi. Some liberals were tempted to vote for Mrs. Petty to protest what they consider to he Mills' inaction on tax reform. But Mrs. Petty, a personable, hard-working candidate, frigh- tened them with her economic conservatism. Mills told an audience here Friday that the ways and means committee was con- sidering several lux. reforms, some aimed at easing inflation and Others "designed In (Continued: Page 3, Col. -1) Ford Reunited with Sons When President Ford arrived in Salt Lake City Saturday morning, he was met by two of his sons.

Study: Insurance Snubs Not Fair Gas Decontrol Could Up Bills Billion WASHINGTON (UPI) American consumers could pay up to billion e.xlra for natural gas through if price controls were removed, a government report estimaled Saturday. The report said there is little evidence that such rising prices would help increase gas production, as proponents of deregulation contend. The report was done by the library of congress at the request of Rep. John Moss (D- who asked for the study lifter President Ford's recent suggestion that natural gas prices should be deregulatt d "I'm dismayed to hear Iho President talking about decon- trol of natural gas and of oil since recent sharp prut increases for petroleum products have had such an im- pact on our economy."

"If it would achieve that goal of increasing nationwide gas supplies say percent or percent, deregulation would pay off. "If we could achieve energy independence by s i m p 1 y increasing energy prices, our problems would be easily sol- it said. "But there is scant evidence to support such optimism." The study said Ford's proposal to lift controls would he "highly inflationary." WASHINGTON (AP) A federal study has found that millions of people apparently are excluded for no sound reason from obtaining the in- surance they need to drive a car, buy a house or protect Iliomselvos from catastrophic losses. The study said millions of older so-called high-risk in- dividuals can gel insurance only by paying inflated premiums, even though they are "clean" risks by industry standards. For "clean" drivers Ihe surcharge amounts to a na- tional average (if 86 percent a year on insurance premiums, the study estimaled. No Federal Hole The reporl by the Federal Insurance Administration, an arm of Ihe department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment, recommended that people be guaranteed the right by law to buy insurance, with rales based on govornmcnl- regulated classifications. Bui the study avoided sug- gesting any federal role in Ihe process, leaving regulation to the slate agencies which have traditionally watched the industry. "We're trying to avoid il because of our faith in the private insurance system, in the tradition of slate regula- said George Bernstein, federal insurance administra- tor. The reporl said thai the la- lesl count, in showed 20 percent of Ihe nation's drivers were not covered by insurance and a total of 4 million drivers are in various slate assigncd- risk plans. The assigned-risk plans are supposedly reserved for those drivers who don't qualify as acceptable risks for conven- tional commercial Insurance. Such drivers pay more than the national average of a year for Iho basic auto in-. siirancc which the conven- tionally insured drivers buy. Yet 3.3 million of the as- signed risk drivers haven't had an accident within three years and are Ihus "clean" wilhin the definition applied by com- mercial insurers, the report said. And 2.7 million neither had been involved in an ac- cident nor committed any chargeable driving violation wilhin three years. Property Insurance The report said a similar si- tuation exists for homeowner and property insurance. Twenty-seven states maii.1- lain FAIR plans which provide access to federally supported riot insurance programs. FAIR stands for Fair Access to In- surance Requirements and is supposedly reserved for other- wise uninsiirable properly owners. Yet the federal study found that of the 3 million policies written under FAIR plans since their crealion under the House Act of 95 percent of Ihe policies are loss-free. The report offered no specific reasons why ap- parently low-risk individuals had been refused conventional insurance, but Bernstein of- fered a few possible reasons. Applicants might be refused because a company doesn't want to wrile any more in- surance in a certain area. Perhaps the company doesn't wanl to give an agency any more business. Maybe the applicant has been reported to keep a messy house. Or perhaps an individual lives in Ihe wrong neighborhood, Bernstein said.

His Theme: 'Cooperative Congress' WICHITA, Kan. (AP) President Ford wrapped up his campaign for a "cooperative congress" Saturday with a cross-country crusade intended to help Republicans hold three crucial senate seats. The day's journey was marked by a finger-wagging, backstage debate with three Vietnam veterans who pressed Ford to sign a bill increasing GI education benefits. It also was a day of campaign rhetoric including a plea by Ford for voters to join him in cutting off the tenacles of "oc- tupus-like" government in the nation's capitol. The presidential jet bounced through turbulent weather before landing here for Ford appearances at three recep- tions and a rally to boost the re-election hopes of Republican Sen. Robert Dole. Earlier in the day, Ford ap- peared in Utah and Colorado on behalf of G.O.P. senate can- didates. Waited In M McConncll air force base outside Wichita, hundreds of persons waited In a heavy for Ford's arrival. The President rewarded his sup- porters by donning a raincoat and moving along the edge of the crowd shaking hands and exchanging greetings. Then, with Dole at his side, he headed by motorcade for a downtown convention center.

"Cooperative" Congress Addressing a crowd officially estimated at that filled a baseball stadium on the wes- tern Colorado city of Grand Junction, Ford declared a "cooperative congress" would be good for the nation.

By Ross Newhan
He returned to Southern California in his prime. The Compton boy, the center fielder who came to be known as one of the Boys of Summer, was 31, but fans who would welcome the Dodgers to Los Angeles in record numbers, would never see the real Duke Snider, the Duke of Flatbush.
Part of it was the distored distances at the Coliseum, where the Dodgers played their first four seasons in Los Angeles, and part of it was a knee surgery prior to Snider's first season in Los Angeles.
Still, even now and forever more, Snider, who passed away Sunday at 84, will be remembered at the heart of those storied Brooklyn teams, a mainstay in Dodger and baseballl history--always insightful and honest in our innumberable conversations over a period of almost 50 years.
The last time we talked was two years ago in connection with the Dodgers' 50th anniversary of their move from Brooklyn, where Snider had hit 40 or more homers in each of his last five seasons.
Between 1958 and 1961, however, before the opening of Dodger Stadium in 1962, Snider hit 15, 23, 14 and 16 homers, of which only 38 were hit at the Coliseum, where the center field fence might as well have been in Pacoima, and right field was little better.
Snider recalled taking batting practice prior to the opening game against the San Francisco Giants, and Willie Mays, in reference to the distant dimensions, saying to him, "Duke, they killed you."
By phone from his Fallbrook home, Snider said, "baseball deserves its own identity. It shouldn't ever be piecemealed into a football and track stadium, which is what the Coliseum (was). It was great for drawing those big crowds, but that wasn't good baseball or real baseball people were watching because it wasn't a real baseball field."
The Dodgers, of course, had little alternative other than 20,000 seat Wrigley Field at 42nd Place and Avalon Boulevard, which in 1961 became the one season home of the expansion Los Angeles Angels of the American League.
At the Coliseum, the Dodgers broke all of baseball's attendance records, and Snider, during that last conversation, said he harbored no bitterness at the fact that his 404 career homers might have been 450 or more had the Dodgers played on a legitimate baseball field with legitimate dimensions during those first four seasons in Los Angeles.
Knee surgery in December 1957, before the first game at the Coliseum, was the principal reason his production fell, he said.
"That was before arthroscopic surgery and the knee was never the same. I was never the same hitter.
"I had to change my whole style. I had to try to be more of a contact hitter, a tough adjustment when you've been a free swinger your whole career."
The Dodgers were in transition in more ways than one when they came to Los Angeles.
Roy Campanella was in a wheelchair, and Pee Wee Reese, Carl Furillo and Carl Erskine were all within a year or two of retirement. The Boys of Summer were past their peak or unable to regain it, and new faces and maturing faces dotted the roster in '59 when the Dodgers became the first team to go from seventh place one season to a World Series title the next.
Snider kept swinging on his one good leg.
He wasn't the same hitter who had helped inspire the memorable song "Willie, Mickey and the Duke" during the halycon days of those three great center fielders in New York, but he will always be the Duke of Flatbush in Dodger lore, Compton's Edwin Donald Snider who became royalty in name and Hall of Fame performance, and it sadness me to think I will be drawing a line through his phone number, no longer seeing him at Dodger and baseball functions--always Duke..

Brandon businesses adversely affected by forced evacuation during the 2011 flood will now have a chance to have business continuity plans developed or audited by Meyers Norris Penny, through a provincial government grant.
The province's excess moisture economic stimulus program offered $100,000 to partner qualifying businesses with MNP to create or review how the business owners operate during a disruption or emergency.
The plans are not one-size-fits-all, said Brandon economic development officer Sandy Trudel, as they are tailored to meet the needs of the business.
"It looks at the operation of the business and looks at all of the facets to say, if there was any disruption to service, whether it's a natural disaster or accident or potential road blockages, something that prevents them from doing their daily business, then let's put a plan in place and have a response that allows us to function through that," Trudel said.
The plans will ensure businesses have a plan to deal with those emergencies, such as operating off-site at another location. The plan also looks at what steps to take to rebuild after the disruption. If businesses already have a plan, they can have their strategy reviewed by an expert under this plan to ensure all bases are covered.
"The flood, or high water event, was the impetus for this project, but ideally, one would like to see every business operate with a business continuity plan," Trudel said.
The program is specifically geared to businesses in the Assiniboine River Valley area that had to evacuate during the flood and those operations have been notified of their eligibility. Some chose not to participate in earlier rounds of this program and can opt back in if there is space available. Those business owners or managers should contact the economic development office at 729-2132 for details.
Trudel said 23 businesses have signed on to take part in the program and the project will last for six to seven months.

This study is an examination of my process of thinking, learning, creating, and teaching in the digital arts. Through literature references, journal entries, and an interview with a female colleague I investigate three questions that have risen from my practice. With the first question I examine my processes of creating, learning and teaching in the digital arts relating it to ideas from the literature such as bricolage, cyberception, cyberspace, flow, and multiple intelligences. In the second question, I explore my relationship to technology through the context of gender and how this influences my practice. Finally, in the third question I explore the ideas covered in the first two questions by relating them to my teaching practice. It is a personal reflection on how the process and context of working in digital media impacts my creative and teaching practice.* *This dissertation is a compound document (contains both a paper copy and a CD as part of the dissertation)

Obamas Challenge: Encourage Social Movements and Other Lessons From FDR and the Great Depression
Posted by John Atlas on January 13, 2009
As Obama prepared his economic recovery plan, he read Jonathan Alter's The Defining Moment, (Simon and Shuster, 2006) about FDRs rise to the presidency and his first 100 days. Although Alters engrossing and readable book was not intended to give advice to the incoming president, it is very helpful for understanding Obamas upcoming challenges and his approach to change.
Alters historical account brings to mind some uncanny similarities between Obama and Roosevelts rise to the presidency. Roosevelt had to overcome a devastating disability — polio. Obama had to overcome the disadvantage of racial and ethnic discrimination. Alter shows how Roosevelts agonizing triumph over polio led him to bond with fellow sufferers and helped him discover "traits that would prove instrumental to the presidency" — a good-natured easy friendliness and an empathy for the oppressed. Obama has developed a similar openness and compassion gained through a searching self-discovery as he grew up in two different worlds as well as the frustrating efforts he faced when he organized the poor in Chicago. Like Roosevelt, Obama exudes a hard-to-understand confidence, only partly explained by their mothers who raised them to be self-confident. And of course, when Roosevelt took office, the Depression had hit, banks were shut down, the stock market had crashed and unemployment was soaring. Obama is taking office in the worst economic crisis the nation has faces since the Depression.
To address the crisis, Obama, like Roosevelt, seems to personify the hope the American people are seeking amidst the anguish. Obama, like Roosevelt, has called for the renewal of widespread economic security, is beginning his presidency with a call for unity, and seems committed to compromise and experiment, above all to act. Alter reminds us that FDR's most important line in his first Inaugural speech was his call for "action and action now." Following Roosevelt, Obama often stresses the importance of immediate action.
The similarities between the 1930s and today extend beyond Obama and Roosevelt. Republican opposition acted similarly. For example, despite the danger of a massive number of home foreclosures, Hoover in the thirties and Bush W. today, failed to directly help those homeowners, worsening the economy. Todays crisis of capitalism, like the Depression, was caused by the greed and corruption of big finance and their political and laissez-faire academic allies.
There are major differences. The economy of the Great Depression was much worse. Conditions were so bad, as Alter recalls, that it gave rise to authoritarian ideologies challenging democratic capitalism. He quotes Arthur Krock of the New York Times comparing the mood in Washington on Roosevelts Inauguration Day to "a beleaguered capital in wartime." Communism had captured the imagination of many on the left. "In 1932, Alter says, "Fascism was socially acceptable and even a little trendy." One senator told Roosevelt, "If ever this country needed a Mussolini, it needs one now." Walter Lippmann, the venerable sage, told Roosevelt, "The situation is critical. You may have no alternative but to assume dictatorial powers." No one is calling for Obama to assume dictatorial powers and there are no fundamental ideologies competing with democratic capitalism. In fact, Republican rule based on Christian fundamentalism, the religious belief in an unfettered free market, and crony capitalism has been shattered.
Also as Alter has pointed out in a recent Newsweek column, the sequencing of events is different. In the early 1930s the economy collapsed first, setting off a banking crisis. Today it's a banking crisis that caused the economic collapse. "Where Hoover launched a modest intervention in the economy called the Reconstruction Finance Corporation," says Alter, "Bush and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson are investing taxpayer money much more heavily.
Overcoming the Legislative Impasse
Obama is bent on passing a sweeping economic agenda to create and save jobs through tax cuts and public spending on roads, bridges, schools, health care as well as clean energy technology that would make the United States less dependent on foreign oil. Will the public support Obama? Can Obama lead us out of the recession and transform the nation in a new fundamental way? He will face severe barriers to his progressive agenda. Since Obama wont have a veto proof Congress, he will need the legislative support of conservative blue dog Democrats and moderate Republicans. Obama, unlike Roosevelt, will face many more industry lobbyists with more corporate money as well as a much better organized conservative movement. Our federal system of checks and balances always makes bold action difficult.
Robert Kuttner observes in his insightful new book, Obama's Challenge, that other transformative presidents who changed the countrys way of thinking about itself were great party builders. Kuttner quotes the eminent historian James Macgregor Burns.
In our constitutional system, with its structural bias against activist government, Burns notes that it takes strong parties to bridge over 'the fragmentation inherent in checks and balances in federalism,' to allow administrations to enact their programs. But strong political parties are not enough to bring about fundamental change.
Fortunately, Obama, unlike Bill Clinton, is according to Kuttner, a committed party builder and this will help him get some of those blue dog Democrats.
Social Movements
The most important difference between then and now is that Roosevelt had several social movements pushing him. Huey Long and Father Coughlin spearheaded a populist movement against inequalities of wealth and power that accompanied industrialization. Tenant organizers protested evictions. As Alter reports, "Townsend Clubs" spouted across the country representing between two million and five million members of an old age insurance program. The labor movement was on the rise organizing massive strikes and protests throughout the country and garnering the support of political leaders. In 1937 after workers had taken over a number of auto plants, Democratic Governor Frank Murphy refused to order the National Guard to eject the workers even after they had defied a court injunction to vacate the factories.
FDR recognized that his ability to push New Deal legislation through Congress depended on the pressure generated by these movements. When FDR was confronted with activists who were belaboring a point, he said, "OK, you've convinced me. Now go out and put pressure on me." As these movements grew, Roosevelt used his bully pulpit to promote legislation guaranteeing unions a right to organize workers and social security. Roosevelt chose a left-of-center pragmatic approach, and with the help of the labor and other left populist movements, FDR revitalized our democracy, saved capitalism from the capitalists, and transformed the way we view the role of government.
Other transformative presidents had great social movements supporting and pushing them. Lincoln had the abolitionists, Johnson the civil-rights activists and Reagan the conservative movement.
The American people are ready for big changes. Although deeply cynical about the capacity of government to act competently, polls indicate that 64 percent of the public favors expanding public investment even if it means more deficit spending. But if Obama is to succeed, he will need a social movement to help propel him forward.
Kuttner suggests that Obama shrewd grasp of the 21st century form of grassroots activism — the Internet will also help him avoid a legislative impasse. Obama has built his own grass-roots organization on the Internet and in many field offices. But there is big difference between this and a social movement. As George Packer observes in the New Yorker, earlier movements were independent of any president, whereas Obamas movement didn't exist before his candidacy. "Throughout the campaign, Obama spoke of change coming from the bottom up rather than from the top down, but every time I heard him tell a crowd, 'This has never been about me. It's about you,' he seemed to be saying just the opposite. The Obama movement was born in the meeting between a man and a historical moment; if he had died in the middle of the campaign, that movement would have died with him — proof that, whatever passions it has stirred, it remains something less than a durable social force."
The Internet activists such as the DailyKos and MoveOn.org have proved to be effective fund-raising vehicles and the Internet could be used for good governance, such as insuring transparency and documenting federal government activity online. Obama could turn his large organization, and its generational energy into a political coalition. Obama will certainly use his huge e-mail list to inform his followers about crucial, but controversial issues and bills to generate grassroots pressure on members of Congress.
But neither the Internet activists or the groups funded by the billionaires of the left, or todays union and environmental organizations, are likely to provide the kind of energy, passion, certainty and unity of the social movements organized by the Christian right during the 80s and 90s, SNCC, CORE, and SCLC in the 60s, and the auto, mine and workers of the 30s. National groups such as the NAACP and the Washington based U.S. Action, which had led a successful to defeat Bushs attempt to privatize social security, have not built the kind of mobilizing culture within their local affiliates that would encourage their members to engage in contentious lobbying and direct action. Community organizing networks such as ACORN and the Industrial Areas Foundation, that have so much in common, including mobilizing cultures, rarely coordinate their activities and have not developed a sense of common history or purpose.
The Obama agenda is, as George Packer noted, " a list of issues that have different constituencies rather than a single, overarching struggle for freedom or justice. Without a movement behind him, Obama wont have the power to overcome the opposition a transformative agenda. Will a social movement emerge over the next few years with the kind of clarity and coherence that empowered earlier ones?
What will Obama do if he suffers stinging defeats for such progressive measures as the Employee Free Choice Act? By the time FDR started his second term, big business and the right wing opposed him every step of the way. Bipartisanship was waning. With the support of the union and other grassroots movements, Roosevelt began using populist attacks against the rich and powerful, which in turn gave more legitimacy the movements from below. His second acceptance speech at the 1936 Democratic convention attacked the "economic royalists" and "privileged princes" of "economic dynasties" who had "created a new despotism." In that campaign's final speech Roosevelt said, "I should like to have it said of my first administration that in it the forces of selfishness and of lust for power met their match. I should like to have it said of my second Administration that in it these forces met their master." FDR used revolutionary rhetoric to voice "anger and resentment," Alter writes, "without destroying the system."
Alters entertaining book provides a fascinating look into Roosevelts leadership style and how, during his first hundred days in office, he began to shift our view of the role of government. Roosevelt had great political instincts and a commanding personality to enact bold new policies. His close personal link with the people, his brilliant speeches and the innovative use of the media helped sell his early agenda. Obama seems to have the talent to do the same. But only if a powerful social movements grow will he be able to save the economy and be a truly transformative president.

The Right's Trouble With Violence
Posted on Aug 18, 2009
With angry white men bringing their guns too close to the president, Josh Marshall writes: "Let's be honest with ourselves: the American right has a deep-seated problem with political violence. It's deep-seated; it's recurrent and it's real."
For all the hatred of President Bush, Marshall explains, the last administration saw nothing like the Oklahoma City bombing or attempt on President Clinton's life in terms of domestic political violence.

Folktruther hits it straight on: We are a nation built on gun violence and still depend on it to intimidate the world and dominate capital and resources. Not that others are immune: the gun has great appeal to all those who value power over human decency and are easily deceived into self-righteousness. But we have to get over it! Otherwise we will keep on until we destroy the human race. How to get over it? Empathy. Conscience. Knowledge. Love. It's not like this is the first time these ideas have been advocated. Shall we dance? Or shall we turn the world into one huge atomic wasteland?

The original photos on CNN showed that one of the men carrying an assault rifle in Arizona was black and part of a publicity stunt. Not that this makes things any better, just more complicated than we'd like to believe.

The ultimate proof of the problem of the right wing with violence lies at Arlington Cemetery. JFK took a 38 slug in the throat that lodged in his neck vertebrae. It was fired by Charles Nicoletti from behind a phalanx of members of the John Birch Society lining Elm Street in frame 187 of the Zapruder film, as JFK is looking back over his right shoulder. The slug was removed during the flight from Dallas to the autopsy at Bethesda while the body was in the custody of the Secret Service with surgical equipment by a member of the DIA with field medical experience. It is past time the public demanded the forensic evidence that it has been denied for 46 years.
