Oh, I know the answer, of course. A white nuclear family is what networks think everyone can relate to. And even if people can't relate, they see and recognize that "ideal" and know what sort of cultural message the writers are trying to send. It gets across the message of Normal, Everyday, Good Old Down-Home FAMILY to people.
Now, don't get me wrong. I love that more television shows are including diversity. I dig it. I'd much rather they include people of color somewhere, anywhere, than not at all.
But I'm starting to see the "ethnic sidekick" problem on family shows: that the ethnic or mixed families are being shown in contrast to a "normal" and "ordinary" family, and are therefore implicitly not normal or ordinary themselves.
Let's take Modern Family. Now, I love Modern Family—I think it's a smart, sharply-written show and that it does a lot of good with the diversity of characters it does show. But part of the premise is clearly that the two families that are more "modern" versions of what family can be are being contrasted against the white nuclear family of a happily married mother and father and their three children living in suburbia. The two families being contrasted? The mixed-generational couple of Jay and Colombian immigrant Gloria with Gloria's son Manny—who becomes a stepson to Jay—and the gay couple with their daughter adopted from Vietnam. All of the diversity in the show is bundled into the families that are billed as having "complications." What if, instead, Claire's husband had been cast as an African-American man, and her kids were all half black?[1] Or, even more scandalously, what if Jay's first wife had been an Asian woman, and Claire and Mitchell were both happa? You might argue that it wouldn't be the same show, and, well, of course not. But it's a show that bills diversity as part of its message, and all I'm saying is, what if the diversity weren't billed as being so "different," but instead mixed in with what we're meant to see as "normal"?
The new show The Neighbors is an even better example of this happening.[2] The aliens who have taken human form have seemingly done so without regard to race (although, of course, the person billed as "their leader" chose to be a white man . . . who would have suspected?), and the lead alien family has a mother who appears black and an oldest son who appears Asian (the father and younger son appear white). It's cute, and I'm glad they do have that diversity,[3] despite the always-troubling aspects of aliens being the only people of color on a show (both Stargates, I'm looking at you). But, of course, the family who moves into the alien development, the "normal" human family we're meant to contrast the aliens against, is all white. Because white is normal. And human. It's the weird alien family who cry tears of green goo out their ears who have people of color among them; diversity is acceptable there. Why not have had the human family be mixed-race, or Hispanic, or Asian? Oh, I know why, of course; I said it at the beginning—writers and producers think viewers can't relate to people of color. But, well, maybe I'm sick of being forced to relate to white people.
I'll throw one more example into the mix, since I've been so sick I have been watching EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF TELEVISION lately. I have to admit to being a fan of the ABC Family show Switched At Birth, despite teen drama not usually being my cup of tea, and as far as I can tell (not being Deaf myself), it's pretty awesome at giving people great insight into Deaf culture and experiences. And I'm all in favor of any show that treats a minority culture with respect and gives it attention, because media has a huge impact on how we all interact with each other culturally (plus all the Deaf actors who have jobs because of that show; mad props for that casting—Sean Berdy in particular should win an Emmy). But this show does the exact same thing I've mentioned above: it contrasts the Kennishes, the white, upper class nuclear family, with the Vasquez women—the family that has a very poor single mother raising a Deaf daughter, the "different" family, and, oh yeah, the one with a mother who just happens to be Latina. I do give Switched At Birth props for addressing race—Bay struggles with the fact that she's suddenly Hispanic when she always thought she was white—but we still have the stable, nuclear family being the white one and the "different" family having the diversity. What if Regina Vasquez had been Caucasian and Kathryn Kennish had been Latina, with everything else remaining the same? What if the children of the rich nuclear family with with ex-professional athlete father had been the children of color instead of the other way around?
I have to admit, "family" shows (by which I mean shows about families) are not what I usually watch, so maybe this trend is not as universal as I think it is. But for a sample size of three, we've got three shows that contrast "different" families with "normal" families, and in all three cases, the "normal" family is the white one and the "different" families are the ones that have the racial diversity in addition to their other "differentness." Just once it might be kind of cool to see the "normal" family have a little melanin. Wouldn't it?
Now, we could argue about the merits of a show making out one family to be more "normal" than another in the first place.[4] For example, there's nothing textual suggesting that Claire and Phil's relationship in Modern Family should be seen as any more stable than Jay and Gloria's or Cam and Mitchell's, nor their family any more "normal" or "ideal." But I think it's naive to think that the writers weren't trying to set up the Dunphys as the white-picket-fence, 2.5-kids-and-a-dog type of "normalcy" so that they could contrast the other two families against them. And I'm equally certain that for all three of the shows I talked about, the casting in terms of race was very deliberate, as it serves to heighten the contrasts between the families.
And does such casting serve to provide that heightened contrast effectively for most viewers? Reluctantly, I have to admit that it probably does. But it doesn't mean that I can't feel irked, nor feel like it isn't a problem that we're still constantly billing minority races as the families that are "different."
[This post has been brought to you by either Lyme disease or typhus, whichever one I have, as I am STILL SICK and therefore watching far too much television.]
- This is not to say that I would want anyone other than Ty Burrell playing Phil; the man is brilliant. Just making a point.↵
- Did not think I would like this show. I watched it because a friend of mine works on it, and so far it's like a train wreck: I'm not sure what's so fascinating about it (other than Toks Olagundoye), but I CANNOT LOOK AWAY.↵
- Unlike, say, Third Rock From the Sun.↵
- Unless, of course, we are talking about a show like The Neighbors, in which the "different" family is an alien one.↵

Environmental Sciences Seminar Abstract
Human behavior and climate change: Preferences for change and perceptions of energy consumption
In this presentation, I aim to discuss two studies. My first study is on preferences to change behavior. Pittsburgh residents (n = 209) reported their preferences for voluntary actions, soft regulations, and hard regulations to (a) limit the number of SUVs and trucks and (b) increase green energy use for household energy consumption. These two goals were presented in one of two motivating frames, as addressing either environmental or national security issues. For the goal of limiting SUVs and trucks, results indicated that participants favored voluntary actions over hard regulations, and soft regulations over voluntary actions. For the goal of increasing green energy, results indicated that participants preferred both voluntary actions and soft regulations over hard regulations, but had no significant preference between voluntary actions and soft regulations. Participants' environmental attitudes (as assessed using the New Ecological Paradigm scale) had a strong positive relationship with support for regulatory strategies intended to change the behaviors in question. Women were more likely to support voluntary actions than men. The loss of personal freedom was frequently mentioned as a reason for saying no to hard regulations.
My second study is a national online survey of participants (n = 505) who reported their perceptions of energy consumption and savings for a variety of household, transportation, and recycling activities. When asked for the most effective strategy they could implement to conserve energy, most participants mentioned curtailment (e.g., turning off lights, driving less) rather than efficiency improvements (e.g., installing more efficient light bulbs and appliances), in contrast to experts' recommendations. For a sample of 15 activities, participants underestimated energy use and savings by a factor of 2.75. In addition, they overestimated consumption and savings for low-energy activities and underestimated consumption and savings for high-energy activities. Other estimation and ranking tasks yielded similar results. Across several tasks, participants with higher numeracy scores and stronger pro-environmental attitudes had more accurate perceptions. The serious deficiencies highlighted by these results suggest that well-designed efforts to improve the public's understanding of energy use and savings could pay large dividends.

By Rick Nelson Star Tribune
Turns out, there are few foods with a history as diverse as the pancake.
American Indian tribes were enjoying a form of fried cakes long before English and other Western European settlers brought their affection for the pancake with them to the New World. The colonists took particular pleasure in pancakes on the day before the start of Lent, an exercise in clearing their pantries of eggs, butter, sugar and other luxuries, all in the name of Lenten sacrifice.
"Eating such a rich, buttered cake on this day was the last gasp of gourmandism before 40 days of self-denial," writes John Mariani in "The Encyclopedia of American Food &Drink."
Flat, griddled cakes went by a flurry of names over the centuries: "No cake" was the early translation of nokchick, a native Narragansett word for a soft-battered cake.
Other monikers included "batter cakes," "flannel cakes," "hoe cakes," "slapjacks," "Johnnycakes" and "flapjacks," and it wasn't until the 1840s that the word "pancake" became the generally accepted term.
Naturally, American entrepreneurship jumped on the pancake bandwagon. "Self-Rising Pancake Flour," the nation's first ready-mix pancake product, debuted in 1889 in Missouri. It was later renamed "Aunt Jemima," borrowing the title of a minstrel show song.
The country's first pancake restaurant chain, the International House of Pancakes, or IHOP, opened in suburban Los Angeles in 1958; the company now has more than 1,400 outlets.
But why go out when preparing delicious pancakes is so easy, and so satisfying?
One of my happiest childhood memories is watching my father make pancakes.
I'm fairly certain that he relied upon Bisquick or some other convenience mix (like most men of his generation, he wasn't much of a cook, outside of Saturday morning pancakes and steaks on the grill), and it was the only instance that I can recall seeing our heavy, rectangular cast-iron griddle — so big that it straddled two burners — being put to use.
With my siblings and I seated at the table — and Mom, too, taking a rare break from kitchen duty — we'd watch Dad at the stove, easing batter onto that hot, spattering cooktop, and deftly wielding a spatula as he stacked thin, golden pancakes on a platter. They would disappear as quickly as he could make them.
During the intervening decades, I found myself following Dad's pancake example (OK, minus the prepackaged mix), at least in the batter department, where the operative words were thin, semi-lumpy and pourable.
That is until two years ago, when I encountered "The New Comfort Food" and a different kind of pancake recipe.
Adapted from a classic New Hampshire diner, this time-tested formula has a crazy amount of leavening, which quickly turns the batter into a doughy, sticky, air bubble-filled mass.
Pourable, it's not, but this batter yields a high-rising, incredibly tender pancake.
Handling this batter requires some finesse. I quickly discovered that a heaping and semi-messy scoop of batter didn't spread as it hit the center of the pan, and who wants a too-small, too-tall pancake?
Not me. Using a narrow, flat-blade spatula, I nudged the batter outward — from its highest point in the center to the pancake's outer edge — creating a larger, and slightly slimmer pancake. Perfect.
Another difference: The vast majority of pancake recipes that I've encountered call for greasing the griddle or pan with cooking oil. That comes as no surprise; vegetable and canola oils have a higher smoke point than butter, and pancakes require a hot pan.
But this recipe requires butter, and plenty of it; let's face it, there's no such thing as a low-calorie pancake. However, using butter is tricky. A too-hot pan or griddle will burn the butter, and a not-hot-enough-cooking surface will make for a lousy pancake.
That's why monitoring the heat level is essential. I've found that ever-so-slightly reducing the heat after each batch seems to work, although, in the end, so what if the butter turns a little brown? The trade-off is beautifully browned pancakes with a delicately crisp, almost lacy exterior.
Dad would have loved them.
8 tips for perfect pancakes
Give it a rest. After mixing batter, loosely cover and let it sit on the counter for about five minutes before cooking.
Keep it hot. A well-made pancake requires a hot but not scorching pan. Here's a reliable test: Drop roughly 1 tablespoon batter into the pan. After a minute, if the cooked side is pale and beige, the pan isn't hot enough, and if it's golden brown, the temperature is correct. For electric griddle users, set the temperature in the 350- to 375-degree range.
Flipping out. It's time to turn pancakes when the face-up surface is a sea of small, un-popped bubbles.
Key ingredient. Buttermilk is the path to pancake enlightenment. It's not exactly a staple in most American refrigerators, so substitute by using this ratio: add 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice for every 2 cups milk.
Worth the fuss. For a truly tender pancake, separate eggs (adding yolks according to instructions), whip whites into stiff peaks and, using a rubber spatula, carefully fold whites into the batter just before cooking.
Fresh and frozen. Rather than folding blueberries into the batter, sprinkle them over pancakes as they begin to set on the griddle. Use fresh berries when they're in season, and frozen during the rest of the year. For frozen berries: Thaw, place in a mesh strainer, rinse under cool water until water runs clear, then transfer berries to a paper towel-lined plate to dry. Accentuate the berry's flavor by gently tossing 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest into each cup of blueberries.
Serve immediately. Pancakes are best enjoyed straight off the stove. If making a large batch, store in a 200-degree oven. For single layers, use a wire rack on top of a baking sheet, and for multiple layers, place between folds of a kitchen towel set on a baking sheet.
Finishing touch. Toppings, including butter and maple syrup, are best served at room temperature.
Buttermilk flapjacks
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
12 tablespoon (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, divided, plus more
2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Maple syrup, for serving
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Melt 4 tablespoons (½ stick) butter. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla extract and eggs. Whisk buttermilk mixture into flour mixture, mixing as little as possible to make a thick (and lumpy) batter. Do not overmix; too much stirring will result in tough pancakes.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and heat until butter's foam subsides.
Ladle in about ½ cup of batter and cook, turning once, until pancake is deep golden brown on both sides, about 4 to 5 minutes total. Repeat process with additional butter and remaining batter. Serve hot, topped with butter and maple syrup.
Makes 8 pancakes. Per pancake: calories: 325; fat: g; sodium: 776 mg; carbohydrates: 31 g; saturated fat: 12 g; calcium: 223 mg; protein: 7 g; cholesterol: 95 mg; dietary fiber: 1 g.

Foundations of Human-Centered Design (3) Interdisciplinary survey of topics and methods related to the human-centered design use and usability of information systems.
IST 331 Organization and Design of Information Systems: User and System Principles (3)
Not too many years ago, people gained information from watching television news or reading the newspaper. Now, nearly half the population of the United States is connected or planning to connect to the Internet. Recent examples include the release of the "Star Report" which generated a record number of "hits" that almost paralyzed the Internet. IST 331 examines these issues, paying special attention to those problems that are directly impacting the performance and future of this rapidly expanding market. The course will expose the "positive and negatives" of the current information system. Next, it will factor in the "human elements" of the equation, and finally, IST 331 will help the Information Sciences and Technology major to understand the enormous responsibility of their work and how they can "make a difference." This course will serve as a required course in the Infon-nation, Society, and Public Policy Option of the proposed major in Information Sciences and Technology. Upon completion of this course, the students will be able to evaluate the current information systems and apply communication principles. They will also recognize problems in design, appreciating the "human factor" as it relates to pedagogy and research. The material in this course lends itself to active learning elements such as writing projects, library and internet research, and collaborative learning. Evaluation will be based on a combination of examinations, written assignments and papers, and collaborative projects. The exact mix of evaluation components will be determined by the individual instructors. The proposed course has some overlap in content with existing courses in Psychology, English, Instructional Systems, Industrial Engineering, and Management Science and Information Systems. Frequency: IST 331will be offered every semester at University Park. At every other campus location where the Baccalaureate degree program is offered, the course will be offered 1-2 times annually depending on demand. Enrollment: Student enrollment at University Park will begin at approximately 50-75 in the first year and grow to 200 over a 3-4 year time period. At other locations, enrollment should range from 25-50 annually.
Note : Class size, frequency of offering, and evaluation methods will vary by location and instructor. For these details check the specific course syllabus.

How Miley Cyrus celebrated her 21st birthday
Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Miley's 21st birthday went to the dogs. Literally. The "Wrecking Ball" singer celebrated on Saturday, Nov. 23, but the festivities were a lot tamer than one might have expected.
"All I could want for my birthday," Cyrus tweeted with a photo of her four adorable dogs passed out on her bed. (Though they are sleeping on a Chanel blanket and pillows, which we're fairly certain automatically turns any naptime into a legit party.)

Maybe she finally needed a break after her slew of controversial antics and wild nights. Just to recap, she has been recorded taking bong hits of salvia, created "twerkgate" at the VMAs, told Matt Lauer he was too old to have sex, smoked a joint on stage at the EMAs, and partied late-night with Lily Allen and Miranda Kerr. Oh, she also recently bleached her eyebrows to near-invisibility.
Fortunately, it seems her brown brows were back in time to ring in her 21st year. Apparently, she missed them as much as we did.
Still, her birthday went by without any major incidents or outings, besides her home being reportedly burglarized on Friday, Nov. 22 (and that wasn't really her fault).
In fact, the morning after she turned the big 21, the star tweeted a batch of pictures of herself still in bed… curled up with her pups.
She's alone in the first, looking fresh-faced and beautiful. She captioned the pic, "Crazy hair/ post b-day/ @amas todayyy!"

But then her best buddies (aka, her dogs) join her for the rest. "Perfect start to the perfect day" she shared alongside a snapshot that revealed her getting a kiss from one of the pack. She followed this up with another picture in which shepuckers up with another pup. "It keeps getting better," Cyrus mused before adding "I love him so f***ing much I can't stand it."

She wasn't done with her morning Twitter session just yet, however. She posted a follow-up photo of what appears to have been her birthday cake-- a six-layered, rainbow treat with vanilla icing and rainbow sprinkles on top.

Bridger Cutler paced, first toward the spot where his red blood had spilled on the blue mat and then away from it.
The Pleasant Grove senior's left nostril was stuffed with gauze, but this was nothing new to him. Cutler's nose had been broken at least three times during his high school career. Usually, both nostrils would be filled to stop the deluge.
Layton's Kenny Astle was bleeding, too. But he was winning, big. After five minutes of wrestling, of trying to bend another man's body and will, Astle, the two-time state champion, held a commanding 9-1 lead.
Cutler had 60 seconds to pull off a miracle.
The crowd started to chant his name.
"I got this," the 145-pounder thought as he stopped pacing and took his spot.
A minute later, Cutler had thrown Astle to the ground twice to force an extra period. Cutler sensed weakness and used the same move, a left-handed headlock, one more time to secure the 16-11 victory.
"I'm telling you, that's the match of the century," Pleasant Grove assistant Korbin Levin, himself a three-time state champion, said after Cutler's win. "I've never seen a kid down nine points with a minute left get the same move three times in a row. You'll never see that again."
Cutler's championship was just one of six the Vikings earned Thursday en route to a third straight 5A team championship.
From 106-pounder Ben Anderson winning a 5-1 decision and then firing a pair of finger guns at the crowd, to big Zac Dawes' 7-4 win over Jordan's Richard Larsen, Pleasant Grove was nearly perfect. Only Taylorsville's Roy Nash, who capped off a 41-0 season with a first-place finish in the 220-pound weight class, beat a Viking wrestler in the finals.
After winning his second state championship, sophomore Kyson Levin breathed hard and rested his hands on his knees. But it was nothing compared with some of the Vikings' practices, including a 15-hour marathon practice the team once had.
"Nobody else has 15-hour practices," Levin said.
The Vikings routinely face off against older, stronger alumni to prepare for tournaments. And coach Brock Moore's weight-lifting sessions leave Korbin Levin more than happy to be in an assistant's role.
"I feel great now that I don't have to be in what I would call hell every day for six months," he said. "I come from a wrestling tradition, but I've never seen a team work as hard as these Vikings. They've really earned this."
That training meant the difference between a blowout loss and a miracle win for Cutler.
He praised his opponent, Astle, called him "a beast." But as Cutler stared down at the empty place where his opponent would soon stand, he knew he had an advantage.
"He was just gassed," Cutler said.
• Syracuse senior Zane Rich wrote it down in his journal: He wanted to be the first Titan to win two state championships.
"Every single day I thought about that goal," he said. "I told my teammates I want to be a two-time state champ, and they have to hold me to that. If I make a promise, I have to keep it."
Rich did just that, overcoming an early deficit to beat Cottonwood's Jed Diederich for first place in the 138-pound weight class.
• Alta's Matt Findlay moved up to the 126-pound weight class this season, but ended up with the same result. The junior beat Kearns' Antonio Meikel 8-0 for his third state championship.

binary, wlc_hybrid.o_shipped.
You use the standard Linux 2.6 kernel build system as follows to make a Linux loadable
kernel module (LKM):
On the target machine, and cd'ed to the directory that contains the Makefile (fragment)
4. Cleanup (optional): make -C /lib/modules/<2.6.xx.xx>/build M=`pwd` clean
5. Build the LKM, i.e. wl.ko: make -C /lib/modules/<2.6.xx.xx>/build M=`pwd`
5. Build the LKM, i.e. wl.ko: make -C /lib/modules/<2.6.xx.xx>/build M=`pwd`
After un-taring the file I get nothing that looks like that ^ :/
I really dont know what to do.

Solar Decathlon Team Says "Come On In!"
On Tuesday, August 9, Middlebury's Solar Decathlon team officially welcomed visitors to tour the nearly finished home before it's disassembled and trucked to Washington for the start of the U.S. Department of Energy competition on September 23.
For more than two hours on a slightly cloudy afternoon, a swarm of curious folks crowded the small but beautifully efficient dwelling, and everyone walked away with a smile. "It's exactly the kind of house I've always wanted," said one woman, as she scanned the central space that includes the kitchen, dining area, living room and workspace. Another young couple paused as they were leaving to ask one of the team members, clad in their signature yellow t-shirts, if they could come back and move in tomorrow.
Take a look at the following photos for a glimpse of what this group hopes will set the standard for many homes to come. And stay tuned to their web site for more news and updates!

The California courts recognize the importance of listening to the public. Connecting with Constituencies engages constituency groups in meaningful dialogue to help court leaders in their planning and court improvement efforts. Court leaders acknowledge the value and importance of engaging constituencies, particularly in light of the Judicial Council's recent public trust and confidence studies, which emphasize the importance of expanding court and community collaboration and connecting more with communities as a way to increase the public's trust and confidence in the courts.
The following profiles illustrate the many approaches that California courts have taken to connect with their constituencies — from going on a Hmong-language radio show to taking direct action in response to public feedback. Innovation in court administration benefits greatly from hearing the voices of court users, judicial branch partners, and other stakeholders, and carefully considering how to meld these voices into comprehensive and enduring plans for the future.

Fox failed to mention Comstock's ties to pro-Roberts group whose ad was highlighted
Research ››› ››› JOE BROWN
The August 10 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume featured a segment by reporter Megyn Kendall on the ongoing controversy over a NARAL Pro-Choice America ad that criticizes Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. for allegedly supporting violent anti-abortion protesters. The segment included comments from Barbara Comstock, former director of the Justice Department's Office of Public Affairs under Attorney General John Ashcroft. But Kendall failed to identify Comstock as a strategic adviser to Progress for America (PFA), a right-wing group actively campaigning for Roberts's confirmation. On August 9, the day after the NARAL Pro-Choice America ad was first released, Progress for America unveiled an ad defending Roberts, part of which was spotlighted during the Fox segment. In addition, PFA has launched a pro-Roberts website, and assembled a coalition of conservative groups to advocate for Roberts's confirmation.
During CNN's July 19 coverage of Roberts's nomination, Comstock appeared on CNN's NewsNight with Aaron Brown and defended Roberts as a "consensus, mainstream candidate" for the Supreme Court. CNN host Brown identified her as "a strategic adviser to Progress for America." The St. Petersburg Times referred to Comstock as an "attorney[] affiliated with the Republican-leaning group Progress for America" in a July 21 article, and C-SPAN has identified her as an "advisor for PFA." But during her August 10 appearance on Fox News, Comstock was identified only by the onscreen text "FMR JUSTICE DEPT OFFICIAL."
The segment can also be found on the Fox News website as an August 11 news story, titled "Groups Reject NARAL Characterization of Roberts."
From the August 10 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume:
KENDALL: The case, which went up to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1992, was about whether a 19th-century anti-discrimination law could be used to stop abortion protests. The solicitor general's office filed a friend of the court brief, arguing the law did not apply, maintaining such protests had nothing to do with gender discrimination, a position with which the Supreme Court agreed.
COMSTOCK [clip]: What they said, regardless of what your position is on abortion or abortion protesters, those who protest about the issue are not engaging in sex discrimination.
KENDALL: The ad's sponsor, NARAL Pro-Choice America, says, despite the ad's language, NARAL does not believe Judge Roberts condones clinic violence.
NANCY KEENAN (president of NARAL Pro-Choice America) [clip]: I know he said he finds bombing and murder abhorrent.
KENDALL: A point Roberts made clear at oral argument in the case, when he told the court the Justice Department did not support violent protests, saying, "The United States appears in this case not to defend petitioners' tortius" -- or improper -- "conduct but to defend the proper interpretation" of the statute. Still, NARAL says the position Roberts took paved the way for continued protests at a dangerous time for abortion clinics.
KEENAN: The groups he sided with were engaged in horrific, a horrific campaign of violence.
KENDALL: Roberts advocates were quick to respond. The conservative Progress for America unveiled an ad dismissing NARAL's assertion as part of a liberal witch hunt.
NARRATOR [clip of Progress for America ad]: A far-left Democratic group is making a desperate and false attack, recklessly distorting John Roberts' record.

The Woods secures strong recruits
May 14th, 2012 |
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College women's basketball team has added four players to its 2012 recruiting class, head coach Deanna Bradley announced. Krissy Bruce, Sierra Lopez, Mikayla Metheny and Jessica Walker signed letters of intent and will join the Pomeroys for the 2012-13 season.
"We have signed a great group of student athletes," Bradley shared. "Each of these young women brings a great work ethic and passion for the game of basketball. They will be a great benefit to our program and to The Woods."
Information on each of the students follows:
Krissy Bruce
Krissy Bruce, point guard at Lafayette Jeff High School in West Lafayette, Ind., averaged nearly 7 points per game and 4 assists per game for the season.
"Krissy is a tenacious defender," Bradley said. "She is quick, handles the ball well, and brings a true point guard mentality to our program."
Sierra Lopez
Bringing help in the post is Sierra Lopez, a five-foot eleven-inch forward from North Central High School in Indianapolis, Ind.
"Sierra is a strong physical post player who we are relying on to help us with rebounding and defending the post position," Bradley commented. "This is an area we have struggled with this past season and we are looking forward to working with Sierra to help us improve."
Mikayla Metheny
Mikayla Metheny, a five-foot six-inch point guard from Terre Haute South Vigo High School in Terre Haute, Ind., brings versatility to the Pomeroys.
"Mikayla has great court sense," Bradley said. "She handles the ball well and can play both the point and shooting guard positions, and is a good on ball defender."
Jessica Walker
Offering great scoring ability is Jessica Walker, a five-foot ten-inch point guard from Western Boone High School in Thorntown, Ind.
Bradley explained, "Jessica is very accurate from the 3-point line. She does a great job of getting up and down the court and will be a tremendous asset to our running game."

Brevard, N.C. – Brevard College trailed for all but 2:11 of the second half, but crucial free throws down the stretch from Nathan Whitmire and Jonathan Whitson led the Tornados to a 59-56 win over Wingate University Saturday night at Boshamer Gymnasium. Brevard (9-6, 2-4 South Atlantic Conference) snaps a three-game SAC losing streak with the win.
Down 56-55 with less than a minute to play, Whitmire (Rosman, N.C.) drove the paint and was fouled on the way to the rim by Ben Davis (Chapel Hill, N.C.). The junior knocked down both free throws to put Brevard ahead with :54 to play.
Two possessions later, Wingate's Jamie Vaughn (McDonough, Ga.) was fouled by Whitmire with :13 left but missed two free throws that would have given the Bulldogs the edge. Whitson (Clyde, N.C.) grabbed the board off the second miss and hit two free shots of his own to make the lead 59-56. Wingate (6-10, 2-3 SAC) called two timeouts to set up a game-tying three but never got a shot off, and the Tornados escaped with their second SAC win.
The wild finish capped a tightly-contested defensive battle which saw neither team lead by more than six points. Whitson scored Brevard's first two baskets, giving the Tornados a 4-2 lead with 17:17 left in the first half. Wingate rallied with a 7-2 spurt to take a 9-6 lead after a Vaughn trey with 14:33 left in the half.
The Tornados tied the game with a three-pointer from Joseph Chilton (Brasstown, N.C.) and took the lead, 12-11, on a long range bomb from Terrence Johnson (Owensboro, Ky.) midway through the opening half.
The lead would change hands eight more times before the end of the half, with the Tornados going ahead, 25-23 on a lay-in from Chilton and stretching the lead to four on a bucket from Whitson with :12 left in the period. But Wingate scored the last points of the half, a buzzer-beating trifecta from DeMario Mattox (Rocky Mount, Va.), and the teams went to intermission with Brevard up, 27-26.
Wingate took the lead 14 seconds into the half on a three-pointer from Rosco Turner (Lexington, N.C.) and stretched the lead to 31-27 on a fast break dunk from Tommy Coles (Danville, Va.) with 19:09 to play.
Wingate would maintain the lead until the 12:57 point, when a Chilton three-ball tied the game at 38, but Wingate resurged ahead on a Larry Staley (Charlotte, N.C.) jumper 1:42 later and kept the advantage until Whitmire's free throws with under a minute to play.
Although they didn't pull ahead until the final minute, the Tornados were helped greatly by a four-point possession after a Bulldog technical foul. With the score 52-47 at the 5:06 mark, Whitson was fouled while shooting by Davis, who then had words for the officials and received a technical as a result. Andrew Freeman (Asheville, N.C.) stroked the two technical shots and Whitson hit the two from the initial foul to draw the Tornados within one and put momentum in the Brevard camp.
"I am very proud of how we played tonight," Brevard coach Michael Jones said in his postgame comments. "Our guys work very hard on both ends of the floor and do a great job listening to instruction. I am glad they could win this one tonight."
Whitson led all players with 18 points and ten rebounds, while Chilton and Johnson (who only had 11 career points coming into the game) each added 11 points. Wingate was led by Vaughn, who scored 13 points, and Mattox chipped in 11.
The Tornados hit the road for the first time in five games with a Wednesday trip to Jefferson City, Tenn. and Carson-Newman College. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. The Bulldogs return to the floor Wednesday with a home game against Mars Hill.

Ozzy Osbourne maintaining his sobriety
Listen to Ozzy Osbourne on iHeartRadio
Ozzy Osbourne says he hasn't stumbled in his recovery since cleaning up from his substance abuse relapse.
Back in the spring he revealed that he was once again sober after spending a year-and-half using drugs and alcohol.
The rocker tells "NME" his wife Sharon was incredibly angry after learning he'd fallen off the wagon, and he doesn't "blame her in the slightest" for their temporary separation.
Ozzy adds that he has no excuses - there was no triggering event that prompted him to start using again. He explains that "for no reason at all you'll suddenly think, 'I fancy a drink,'" and then the "next thing you know you're scraping yourself off the garage floor three days later."
The singer says addiction is like having a "haunted" head, and calls it "a disease of the mind and body" that "you can't control."

Hip arthroscopyArthroscopy - hip; Hip impingement syndrome - arthroscopy; Femero-acetabular impingement - arthroscopy; FAI - arthroscopy; Labrum - arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy is surgery that is done by making small cuts around your hip and looking inside using a tiny camera. Other medical instruments may also be placed inside to fix your hip.
- An arthroscope is made up of a tiny tube, a lens, and a light source. The surgeon will look inside your hip joint for damage or disease. Only a small surgical cut is made.
- Other medical instruments may also be inserted through one or two other small surgical cuts. This allows the surgeon to treat or fix certain problems, if needed.
- Using these tools, your surgeon will remove extra pieces of bone that are loose in your hip joint, or fix cartilage or other tissues that may be damaged.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
The most common reasons for hip arthroscopy are to:
- Remove small pieces of bone or cartilage that may be floating around inside your hip joint and causing pain
- Repair a torn labrum (a tear in the cartilage that is attached to the rim of your hip socket bone)
Less common reasons for hip arthroscopy are:
- Hip impingement syndrome (also called femero-acetabular impingement, or FAI), when no other treatment has helped.
- Hip pain that does not go away and your doctor suspects a problem that hip arthroscopy can fix. Most of the time, your doctor will first inject numbing medicine into the hip to see if the pain goes away.
The risks for any anesthesia are:
- Allergic reactions to medicines
- Breathing problems
The risks for any surgery are:
- Bleeding
- Infection
Other risks from this surgery include:
- Bleeding into the hip joint
- Damage to the cartilage or ligaments in the hip
- Blood clot in the leg
- Injury to a blood vessel or nerve
- Infection in the hip joint
- Hip stiffness
Before the Procedure
Always tell your doctor or nurse what drugs you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
During the 2 weeks before your surgery:
- You may be asked to stop taking drugs that make it harder for your blood to clot. These include aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve), and other drugs.
- Ask your doctor which drugs you should still take on the day of your surgery.
- Tell your doctor if you have been drinking a lot of alcohol, more than 1 or 2 drinks a day.
- If you smoke, try to stop. Ask your doctor for help. Smoking can slow down wound and bone healing.
On the day of your surgery:
- You will usually be asked not to drink or eat anything for 6 to 12 hours before the procedure.
- Take the drugs your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.
- Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.
After the Procedure
Whether you fully recover after hip arthroscopy depends on what type of problem was treated.
If you also have arthritis in your knee, you will still have arthritis symptoms after hip surgery.
Outlook (Prognosis)
After surgery, you will be asked to use crutches for 2 - 6 weeks.
- During the first week, you should not place any weight on the side that had surgery.
- After that, you will slowly be allowed to place more and more weight on the hip that had surgery.
You should be able to return to work within 1- 2 weeks if you can sit most of the time.You will be referred to physical therapy to begin an exercise program.

Hackers Post 2M Facebook, Google, Yahoo Passwords
(NEWSER) – Some 2 million user credentials for Facebook and other top services have appeared on a Russian-language website, likely thanks to malware installed on users' computers, experts tell the BBC. They believe a crime ring was probably behind the dump, which claimed to include 318,121 Facebook usernames and passwords, along with login details for users of Google, Yahoo, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Russian sites. "We don't know how many of these details still work," says a security researcher.

When fever sets in within a few hours it means very much more frequently pneumonia than diphtheritic fever.

But she dared not go backwards and forwards between her baby and the diphtheritic children.
The diphtheritic process does not merely consist of the membranous changes in the pharynx and air-passages.
This rarely occurs at the present time, and diphtheritic wounds are seldom seen.
In later stages it becomes thicker, while occasionally it resembles a diphtheritic exudation.
A diphtheritic conjunctivitis, enteritis, cystitis, and endometritis are recognized.

Published September 2011
I don't know about you, or other women out there, but there are times I feel as if I am carrying the world on my shoulders. I wake up, get Sky up and get her ready for school, get myself to work, pick Sky up from school, take her to art lessons, help her with homework, cook, clean, do laundry, pay the bills, smile, give hugs and make sure everything is going according as planned. Take dog to groomers, sweep, dust, mop, etc. I have all these imaginary balls I'm juggling throughout my day and if you stop one of them, they will all come crashing down. Sometimes I feel like I, "live way too often on the spin cycle of life and am wound around the wringer."
I read that statement the other day in one of my daily devotions and thought, wow that is my life. I am constantly on the spin cycle. Picking up the house, watering the flowers, taking out the trash, cleaning the car, working, kissing a bee-boo—the list goes on and on. Then you add the social and church volunteer schedule in there and before too long I am completely wrapped around the spindle wrong and twisted way out of shape.
Then my words become harsh, my fuse is shortened, my attitude is mean and I am just ready to blow; just like an overloaded washing machine. You know when you have too many clothes in the washing machine and it's on the spin cycle you hear that clanging and banging sound? That noise is telling you there are too many clothes in there and that's caused the machine to get out of balance. Well if you're like me you sigh as you hurriedly stomp your way in there to fix it, as if you don't have anything else better to do. You open the lid, move the clothes around, close the lid and wait to see if it's going to happen again. I am just like that unbalanced washing machine when I overload my life.
If we really knew our machine and what it could handle, we wouldn't over load it. And if I really knew myself and what I could handle, I wouldn't over load myself either. I don't think I ever realized everything I try to get done in a day. I have never stopped to think about how much I take on, the heaviness of my load, how fast I want to get it done, how far I go to try and just how overloaded my machine really is. I measure my life by what I can get done in a day. If I don't check off everything on my list then I feel I have failed in some way or another. But I haven't; I just haven't figured out my capacity yet.
Before my shortened fuse blows and ugly words fill my mouth I have to know what I can handle. I have to measure out my loads and evenly disperse out my dirty laundry. When I get overwhelmed with the trials of life I try—I said, I try—to switch to the gentle or delicate cycle. In other words I put my focus on God. When I do that I become more heaven minded rather than earthly minded.
Heaven isn't counted in seconds or minutes; a day is not measured in hours. There isn't a list of chores to get done in a certain amount of time. 2nd Peter 3:8 states, "But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day." Wow a thousand years—that would be great. Well probably not. I would end up piling something into all that extra time and end up being more overloaded.
Life happens and it happens fast. I have written numerous times about where the time goes. Everyone seems so busy all the time. I see at least one driver a day running a red light. I see someone walking faster than me in the grocery store. I see people on their phones constantly, even at the dinner table. The newest technology is only a click away, or a push of a button. We have become accustomed to a world of instantaneous results. But we can control how fast we run our lives. We control how much we pile into our washing machine. When we focus on what God wants us to accomplish in our lives our time becomes more simplified. He will help carry the load.
I have recently learned a new way to do laundry. I sort out the duties of the day, decided what really needs to get done, talk to God and ask what He wants to do today and what He wants me to do. When I do that it's amazing how much time I have to get everything done. I have time to fold the clothes, do the dishes, take out the trash and I have time to spend with our Creator.
Remember, you are not promised tomorrow and it's the here and now that matters most. So next time you feel like you're on the spin cycle of life, switch it over to the gentle cycle, slow down and enjoy the ride!

Limbaugh cited "improve[ment]" by Super Bowl-bound McNabb, but said media's prior praise for Eagles quarterback reflected "social hope"
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
Following the Philadelphia Eagles' victory advancing the team to Super Bowl XXXIX, nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh returned to his assertion that the media had lauded team quarterback Donovan McNabb because he is African American. Limbaugh said: "There's no question McNabb has improved and I'm happy to see it," and then maintained that "when the defense ... was propping the Eagles up," the media "were still giving McNabb credit -- because there's this social hope."
As Media Matters for America has noted, Limbaugh resigned from a brief 2003 stint as a commentator on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown after he made remarks about McNabb that ESPN called "insensitive and inappropriate."
Limbaugh said of McNabb on Sunday NFL Countdown in September 2003: "Sorry to say this, I don't think he's been that good from the get-go ... I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team."
From the January 24 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
CALLER: Rush, since Donovan McNabb has gotten over this latest hurdle, is your opinion of his ability as a quarterback and a field leader changed?
LIMBAUGH: You know, it has. Since you've called and brought this up, my quote on McNabb was back in September or October, I forget, of last year. Yeah, 2003, and at the time, McNabb, the Eagles were 1-3 or 1-4. McNabb couldn't complete a pass over 20 yards. They had just come off two championship game losses and the third was coming up. But, since, yeah, there's been a demonstrable change in McNabb's performance, pure and simple. There's no question there has been. I think he was motivated, inspired by a whole lot of things.
There's no question McNabb has improved and I'm happy to see it. I like quality football.
There was a reporter for The Washington Post named Leonard Shapiro. And he was doing a story on the "groundbreaking social achievement" that occurred on Sunday [January 23]. Two black quarterbacks competing against each other in a championship game in the NFL, which meant that a black quarterback would be going to the Super Bowl. And Leonard Shapiro wanted a quote from me, and I of course knew that the story was already written. And he was going to be talking to a professor of black studies and some ex-NFL quarterbacks who are black. So I chose not to participate in it. And the story came out, and it was what I thought. It's exactly what I say--it was a story on the social advancement of the black quarterback in the NFL.
Which, all I ever said was that's what the media is interested in. That's why I thought they looked the other way when the defense of the Eagles was propping the Eagles up and were still giving McNabb credit -- because there's this social hope. I've never wavered from that and I think the story by Shapiro proves it.
I did think about calling Leonard Shapiro back, but I didn't, because I knew that no matter what I said, I would still get reamed for what happened years ago. But my only question to him was going to be, "Hey, Leonard, why can't it be that two great quarterbacks are competing in the championship game? Why does it have to be two black quarterbacks who are competing in the championship? Who's seeing that, Leonard? Is it you or me?" But I doubted that the nuance of the quote would be appreciated. And rather it would be seen for something else.

SAN BERNARDINO -- San Bernardino Police shot and wounded a man following a short pursuit and fight with officers Wednesday evening, police officials said.
Shortly before 6 p.m., officers attempted to pull over a vehicle for a traffic violation, officials said.
The driver, who has not yet been identified, refused to pull over and led officers on a short pursuit, according to Lt. Mike Madden.
The driver crashed his vehicle into a fence at California and Mesa roads, according to authorities.
The driver then reportedly got out of his vehicle and became combative with officers, Madden said.
The uncooperative man physically attacked the officer which reportedly led to the shooting.
The man was shot once though his wounds are not considered life-threatening, Madden said.
The shooting is under investigation.

Ok, Problem solved !
Hey all !
After i got Back Track 3 work with WireLess etc... on my Laptop i just want to install it on my PC. I just bought only for this a new Harddisk 1 hour ago . SATA II Harddisk. I just put the Live CD and when i select the first one i guess KDE.. Graphical.. i see the commandlines.. that after the message: if u get a black screen... my TFT Screen turnes off and say: Out of Range, then he try to activate the Screen and again Out of Range Black Screen. I googled for it but didnt find anything what can help me.
My Videocard: HD4850 ATI.
Thank you !!
Ok, Problem solved !
Oh man i'm a idiot !! Sorry man...
I just selected an other KDE i think it was the third selection, called Vesus KDE ? Forget the name... then it worked fine for me.
Yes m8, this is right.
Well I'm glad you at least got something to work but I recommend working on your original problem as you will likely learn a lot from it. That is, unless you give up entirely which would tell me that this distro isn't for you........
"The goal of every man should be to continue living even after he can no longer draw breath."
What you mean with: This distro isnt for you ?
I'm sorry when i am a noob in linux i just want to learn it..
On my LapTop BackTrack 3 works very fine.. but i don't know how to get run on my PC. I can install it on my pc but the graphics are horrible.. i tried to install ATI Drivers but that didnt work too. Man i m getting frustated.
If your intentions really are to learn then do so slowly and do so passionately. Nothing feels quite as good as figuring out a complex problem "on your own" and doing so will benefit you down the line when faced with even bigger challenges. We'll all help you as best we can provided you can show us you've attempted to help yourself first.
Clear now?
"The goal of every man should be to continue living even after he can no longer draw breath."

Harrogate, Tenn. - Brevard and Lincoln Memorial combined to hit 11 home runs at Hennon Field on Saturday afternoon in an offensive onslaught that featured 57 combined runs and 75 hits in 16 innings of play, but the Tornados were able to close out both games to earn the South Atlantic Conference series sweep with 12-8 and 21-16 victories over the Railsplitters.
Dustin Haithcox (1-1) and Alex Litaker (2-0) earned the victories for the Tornados (18-20, 10-11 SAC), while Chris McCarter (3-3) and Brad Pressley (3-4) took the losses for LMU (17-24, 8-13 SAC) as the teams combined for 19 pitching changes on the day.
Chad Funkhouser drove in seven runs for Brevard on the day, while Champ Stuart and Tarron Robinson hit two home runs apiece, combining for 11 runs scored and 12 RBIs in leading the Tornados offense to the sweep over Lincoln Memorial.
Game One: Brevard 12, Lincoln Memorial 8
Box Score
Brevard smashed four home runs in the first game of the doubleheader and withstood a furious Lincoln Memorial comeback attempt in the bottom of the ninth to clinch the series victory over the Railsplitters, 12-8.
Stuart, Kameron Armacost, Christian Christopoulos and Randy O'Dell all had three hits for the Tornados and Chad Funkhouser and Robinson had three RBIs apiece as Brevard recorded 18 hits in the first game of the doubleheader.
Brevard opened the game playing small ball as Funkhouser singled in Stuart to open the scoring in the top of the first. A groundout plated the second BC run as Armacost scored, while Cody Queen singled in Funkhouser with a single through the left side to put the Tornados up 3-0 after one inning. Stuart added the fourth run of the game, driving his third home run of the season over the left field fence to push Brevard ahead by four.
Joseph Horsley halved the Brevard lead with a home run of his own off BC starter Tyler Lequire, driving in Scott Miller with a two-run shot over the left centerfield fence to cut the BC lead down to 4-2.
The Tornados answered the LMU runs with five more of their own, plating two in the top of the fourth and three in the top of the fifth to put BC up 9-2 midway through the game. Funkhouser doubled in Stuart and Kramer Clark with a double down the left field line in the fourth, while Christopoulos added a solo home run in the fifth for Brevard.
The Railsplitters added runs in the fifth and the sixth, putting crooked frames up on the board as Nick Pressley brought Curt Fuqua in with a sacrifice fly, while John Saylor scored on Cody Baker's fielder's choice to cut the lead back to within five with three innings to play.
Robinson pushed the Brevard lead to 11-4 with a two-run home run in the top of the eighth, scoring Funkhouser from first, and O'Dell capped the BC scoring in the contest with a solo home run to lead off the ninth as the Tornados went into the final three outs with the 12-4 advantage.
The Railsplitters sent 10 batters to the plate in the top of the ninth with Saylor, Nick Morabito, Horsley and Fuqua all driving in runs in the inning to bring the game back to within striking distance. The Railsplitters loaded the bases with two outs, sending the tying run up to the plate, but Bennett Hixson entered the game, retiring the final batter to earn his fourth save of the season.
Game Two: Brevard 21, Lincoln Memorial 16
Box Score
A total of six home runs were hit in the second game as the teams combined for 37 runs and 41 hits in the series finale, but Brevard was victorious as Haithcox pitching 1.1 innings of shutout relief as the Tornados recorded the series sweep with the 21-16 victory over the Railsplitters.
Stuart and Robinson both went deep for the second time on the day for Brevard, while all nine starters in the BC lineup both scored and drove in a run as the Tornados set a school record with 21 runs scored in the contest and 33 runs scored in a day.
Brevard held the 2-1 lead after the first inning as Robinson doubled in Armacost and Funkhouser in the top of the frame, while Horsley led off the bottom of the first with a solo home run over the left field fence for the Railsplitters.
The teams combined for 11 runs in the second inning, with Funkhouser driving in the majority of the six runs for Brevard in the top of the inning with a bases-loaded three RBI double down the left field line. Fuqua provided most of the damage for the Railsplitters in the bottom half of the inning, driving in two runs with a one-out single as the score sat 8-6 in BC's favor after two innings.
Doubles and wild pitches helped the Tornados add six more runs in the top of the third inning, stretching the lead to 14-6 as Brevard took advantage of an LMU fielding error and two wild pitches to send 11 batters to the plate in the frame. Christopoulos and O'Dell closed out the inning with back-to-back doubles, helping add on to the damage in the frame for the Tornados as Brevard led by eight after three innings.
The teams combined for five home runs and a combined 17 runs crossed the plate from the top of the fourth to the bottom of the sixth inning, with Brevard emerging from the scoring outburst with the 21-16 lead heading into the final inning.
LMU's Bryan Ebelink threw the day's first 1-2-3 inning in the top of the seventh to shut down the Brevard offense, while Haithcox followed with a 1-2-3 inning of his own, retiring two of the Railsplitters on strikes along the way to end the game with Brevard earning the series sweep.
Brevard remains on the road as the Tornados step out of conference play to take on NCAA Division I Gardner-Webb University on Wednesday, April 4th. First pitch between the Tornados and the Runnin' Bulldogs in Boiling Springs, N.C. is set for 6 p.m.

"I feel really good here"
After three years with Williams F1 Team, Pastor Maldonado makes the step up to join Lotus F1 Team, partnering long term recruit Romain Grosjean, someone with whom he raced with during his junior years.
Pastor brings with him a wealth of experience, and plenty of podium achievements following his success with his former Formula 1 team in 2012. Despite a tricky year in 2013, the career and accolades of the Venezuelan driver speak for themselves and the future looks very positive indeed.
How excited are you about kicking off the new season with Lotus F1 Team?
It's great to start the season with Lotus F1 Team. For me it's something very special, and it's part of the big transition of progressing in Formula 1. After three years in one team, it will now be my fourth season at a higher level, and I'm very happy to part of this fantastic team. Lotus F1 Team have been very successful in the past, been competitive on track and have won a lot of races. We're working very hard to again be one of the best and fighting for wins.
You have 58 Grands Prix starts under your belt; what experience can you bring to the team?
I've been learning a lot, especially in the first two years. I don't count last year as it was so difficult, but even in the difficult times you can learn a lot and I've used all of that as an experience and I feel ready to get back to the top. In the past I've been quite good in my last team, and maybe here I will get extra power to be more consistent and I think together we can make a very strong team.
You already know Romain Grosjean, are you looking forward to working together?
I know Romain from some years ago, he's a good guy. He's a great driver and we've competed in the lower categories together. We've both always been at the top so I'm really looking forward to working with him. I think we are both real fighters on track, so I hope we can both do our best for the team.
How different do you expect the racing will be with such big regulation changes?
The difference we see from last year to 2014 is huge, and it will have a huge influence in terms of racing, and racing style. I think the drivers, together with the team, must work a lot to adapt to this new style of racing. We've been working in the simulator for a while and I feel optimistic. Let's go for it!
What do you think of the E22?
The E22 is just amazing, I think it's the most revolutionary car in the paddock. The car looks great, it's a combination between the new technology and many other new ideas. It's pretty special to see the nose like that – I've never seen something like that in the past! It's something completely new for Formula 1, and we're fully confident with this solution. I can't wait to be in the car and try it out on track.
What are your targets and objectives for 2014?
The season ahead is really a big question mark. We need to start with great expectations, we need to do our best from the beginning. For sure it will be quite hard, for all the teams and all the drivers, with the new regulations but we're really looking forward to fight for the best, and to fight for the Championship.
Why the number 13?
The reason I choose the number 13 is just because I like it. In Venezuela it is not an unlucky number and it actually has a long history in Venezuelan sport.

Discussion in 'News Zone' started by Gaede, Nov 19, 2012.
Great article, again.
No question. This is the most offensive line I've ever seen. I'd love to have our 2010 line back.
not according to Jerruh
I guess Sturm is not in complete agreement with Jerry. Or maybe they were watching different games.
we really should stop acting as if Jerry truly believes everything that comes out of his mouth.
Always a good read.
Great article.
Could someone forward this artical to the Cowboy's front office ?
We were all screaming in the off season for Offensive line upgrades !
Great read and spot on points, both positive and negative.
In talking about the short vs deep passing game. I just always wonder why JG can not balance anything out. He seems to have to go all in, one way or another. He's always been that way. THe half time adjsutment back to the short game is good but it why does it take 30minutes to see what is working?
Also, please run a screen or roll out. Just try it, cant be any worse than the 7 sacks.
Yeah, but saying something that is so contrary to what everyone else sees isn't putting a positive spin on anything. Nothing constructive comes out of saying such a thing. At worst, it does make him look like he is utterly clueless about this team, about the game of football in general. At best, it makes him look disingenuous, not to be trusted, someone who simply refuses to acknowledge mistakes.
So if he doesn't believe it, and if there isn't anything positive than can come from spinning a tale, why do it?
because that is what he does. we have seen it over and over for years.
But he just destroys his credibility in doing so, which means people will take what he says with a grain of salt. Like the boy who cried wolf, lie enough and people won't take you seriously anymore. Why would someone who so desperately wants to be known for being a good football mind who can be a very positive force in putting together a team damage his credibility like this?
Maybe it's the whole "yes man" thing -- surround yourself with enough of these people, and you really do lose touch with reality. Maybe he actually believes that fans are still buying into what he's saying because there is no one around him telling him otherwise, no one to tell him that he is making himself look like an absolute fool? Man, what a bubble that must be.
people SHOULD take what he says with a grain of salt. I have for years. I don't believe he has any credibility to be damaged.
Wow, this article sums up my feeling on the Cowboys 2012 OL.
Many of us saw this coming, and we had our fingers crossed .... But it is what it is.
ok....if we should stop believing what comes out of his mouth....should we then believe what he actually does? The fact that in the prime of the careers of Romo, Ware, Witten, Ratliff etc....we have ONE.....ONE OL...that could find a starting job in a quality organization...should we look at that as proof that he believes in this OL?
huh? of course not. why would the fact that we have one OL who could start somewhere else prove that jerry believes in this OL?
Sturn has been consistently good this year; really enjoy reading his stuff, even if the truth hurts.
Article sent a chill down my spine as to the possible hopelessness of our future under jerruh. Cowboys are like the little dutch boy trying to plug holes in the dike. They will get the o line fixed and it will be time to replace romo ware and witten. Round and round it goes
I don't which prospect I find more troubling--that it had to get this bad before the Cowboys realized they had serious problems along their offensive line, or that the Cowboys thought they could remedy their problems with Bernadeau, Livings, and Costa.
Think part two is most scary! Question is does the front office just think they are smarter than everybody else that Livings et al is a viable upgrade
