SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- The California Supreme Court denied a law
license on Monday to a former journalist who was caught fabricating
stories for major national magazines.
The court ruled that Stephen Glass had insufficiently rehabilitated himself in the years since his misdeeds.
"Many of his efforts from the time of his exposure in 1998 until the
2010 hearing, however, seem to have been directed primarily at advancing
his own well-being rather than returning something to the community,"
the court wrote in the unsigned ruling.
Jon Eisenberg, a lawyer for Glass, said his client "appreciates the
court's consideration of his application and respects the court's
Glass's ethical missteps at The New Republic and other magazines were
recounted in the film "Shattered Glass" and an autobiographical novel.
Glass applied to practice law in California after passing the state's
bar exam in 2007. But State Bar officials have been grappling with his
application since, finally appealing to the California Supreme Court to
A committee of state bar lawyers initially rejected Glass'
application, saying he had not done enough to be trusted to practice
law. Lawyers representing the committee told the Supreme Court that
Glass "has done little, if anything, to repair the damage he has done."
The State Bar admission committee that initially rejected his
application found it irksome that Glass earned $140,000 from the sales
of his book of fiction loosely based on his life called "The Fabulist."
The admission committee argued that Glass should have used the proceeds
to actively further his rehabilitation in some other way than simply
pocketing them.

A34-minute unscheduled timeout notwithstanding, the people of New Orleans and Louisiana can be extremely proud of the fabulous show put on for Super Bowl XLVII.
We agree with New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu that the city gave witness to its incredible comeback from the tragedies of hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. The last time New Orleans hosted the Super Bowl was in 2002, and it's been a tough decade since for metropolitan New Orleans — indeed, for significant parts of the entire Gulf Coast.
While unfortunate, in the mayor's words, the temporary power outage in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome did not erase the benefits to tourism from the game and the days of buildup ahead of it. Countless hours of extremely positive coverage of the great food and music of the queen city of the Mississippi River filled not only the sports channels. Fabulous weather helped to make the event special for visitors.
News outlets also reported positively on the improvements in New Orleans' schools, by far and away the largest experiment in public charter school operations in America. The comeback motif did not end there, with positive coverage of the improving business climate in a city that was on its back just over seven years ago.
We think that the agencies and organizations working for more than a year on the preparations for the game and the multitude of related events deserve applause, including volunteer host committee chairman and chairwoman James Carville and Mary Matalin and all those who lent a hand.
The cooperation of state and local agencies, the mammoth efforts to deal with the crowds — in the middle of Carnival season, to boot — and tireless work on finishing up the Loyola streetcar line and other projects represent the kind of progress New Orleans needs after the game is over.
Once again, New Orleans has demonstrated its stature as a city that can hold the largest and most complex events in the nation.
Well done, and with a style all its own.

Dealer's License
Before you can open a business buying and selling motor vehicles, you'll need to obtain a dealer's license. Applications for the dealer's license are available online. (To print the document, you'll need to use the free Adobe Reader software.)
The dealer's license application asks for the following information:
- The name and contact information of the business owner
- The name and contact information of any partners or corporate officers
- The company's location, size, and office hours
- The type of motor vehicles you plan to sell
Once you've completed the dealer's license application, you'll need to gather the requested supporting documentation. You'll need a corporate surety bond of $50,000, zoning permit, a certificate of automobile liability insurance/worker's compensation, and copies of your contracts with auto manufacturers or distributors.
The department has provided a comprehensive information sheet with instructions for filling out the application.
The Motor Vehicle Industry Licensing Board requires separate licenses for auction dealers, wrecker/salvage companies, finance companies, and manufacturers, distributors, or branch representatives.

Hydraulic systems are used to actuate the brakes of all automobiles covered by this guide, as well as most vehicles on the roads today. The system transports the power required to force frictional surfaces of the braking system together from the pedal to the individual brake units at each wheel. A hydraulic system is used for two reasons. First, fluid under pressure can be carried to all parts of an automobile by small pipes and flexible hoses without taking up a significant amount of room or posing routing problems. Second, a great mechanical advantage can be given to the brake pedal end of the system, and the foot pressure required to actuate the brakes can be reduced by making the surface area of the master cylinder pistons smaller than that of any of the pistons in the wheel cylinders or calipers.
The master cylinder consists of a fluid reservoir mated to a cylinder and piston assembly. All of the vehicles covered in this guide utilize a dual circuit cylinder assembly which is designed to hydraulically separate the front and rear braking systems in case a leak should disable one of the circuits.
Steel lines carry the brake fluid to a point on the vehicle's frame near each of the wheels. The fluid is then carried to the calipers or wheel cylinders by flexible tubes in order to allow for suspension and steering movements. In drum brake systems, each wheel cylinder contains two pistons, one at either end, which push outward in opposite directions. In disc brake systems, the cylinder is part of the caliper. One piston in each caliper is used to force the brake pads against the disc.
All pistons employ some type of seal, usually made of rubber, to prevent fluid leakage. A rubber dust boot seals the outer end of the cylinder against dust and dirt. The boot fits around the outer end of the piston on disc brake calipers, and around the brake actuating rod on wheel cylinders.
The hydraulic system operates as follows: When at rest, the entire system, from the piston(s) in the master cylinder to the the pistons in the wheel cylinders and calipers, is full of brake fluid. Upon application of the brake pedal, fluid trapped in front of the master cylinder piston(s) is forced through the lines towards the wheels. Here, it forces the pistons outward toward the shoes (in the case of drum brakes) or inward toward the rotor (in the case of disc brakes). The motion of the pistons is opposed by return springs mounted outside the cylinders in drum brakes, and by spring seals, in disc brakes.
Upon release of the brake pedal, a spring located inside the master cylinder immediately returns the master cylinder pistons to the normal position. Because the springs will return the master cylinder pistons faster than fluid can flow back through the system, fluid from the reservoir is used to prevent a vacuum. Fluid from the reservoir flows to the master cylinder pistons through compensating ports.
Dual circuit master cylinders employ two pistons, located one behind the other, in the same cylinder. The primary piston is actuated directly by mechanical linkage from the brake pedal through the power booster. The secondary piston is actuated by fluid trapped between the two pistons. If a leak develops in front of the secondary piston, it moves forward until it bottoms against the front of the master cylinder, and the fluid trapped between the pistons will operate the rear brakes. If the rear brakes develop a leak, the primary piston will move forward until direct contact with the secondary piston takes place, and it will force the secondary piston to actuate the front brakes. In either case, the brake pedal moves farther when the brakes are applied, and less braking power is available.
All dual circuit systems use a switch to warn the driver when only half of the brake system is operational. This switch is located in a valve body which is mounted on the firewall or the frame below the master cylinder. A hydraulic piston receives pressure from both circuits, each circuit's pressure being applied to one end of the piston. When the pressures are in balance, the piston remains stationary. When one circuit has a leak, however, the greater pressure in that circuit during application of the brakes will push the piston to one side, closing the switch and activating the brake warning light.
In disc brake systems, this valve body also contains a metering valve and, in some cases, a proportioning valve. The metering valve keeps pressure from traveling to the disc brakes on the front wheels until the brake shoes on the rear wheels have contacted the drums, ensuring that the front brakes will never be used alone. The proportioning valve controls the pressure to the rear brakes to lessen the chance of rear wheel lock-up during very hard braking.
Warning lights may be tested by depressing the brake pedal and holding it while opening one of the wheel cylinder bleeder screws. If this does not cause the light to go on, substitute a new lamp, make continuity checks, and, finally, replace the switch, as necessary to repair the system.
The hydraulic system may be checked for leaks by applying pressure to the pedal gradually and steadily. If the pedal sinks very slowly to the floor, the system has a leak. This is not to be confused with a springy or spongy feel due to the compression of air within the lines. If the system leaks, there will be a gradual change in the position of the pedal with a constant pressure.
Check for leaks along all lines and at wheel cylinders. If no external leaks are found, the problem is likely inside the master cylinder.

At Last … The Dress!
So what did you think?
-The Bettys
While we were all glued to the nonstop coverage of yesterday's historic Inauguration, not just a few of us will confess to wiping tears from our eyes and – yes – secretly wondering … WHEN DO WE GET TO SEE THE DRESS?!
Finally! The First Lady and The Dress made their appearance at the Neighborhood Ball, accompanied by a dashing President. Women the world over sighed.
A few of the Bettys weigh in on the Jason Wu creation:
Lois: Oy. Michelle, Michelle. Great that you gave Jason Wu the spotlight but I wish you'd stuck to the shape-showing style you do so well for day. Too frou-frou for you and your assets didn't come through.
Deborah: I actually LOVED the lemongrass outfit … I thought the evening dress was not flattering.
April: I loved it. I wouldn't have guessed she'd go for white, but it was a dreamy gown. I love the asymmetrical strap (showing off her beautiful arms and shoulders), the floating skirt, and the fact the she looks more like a princess than a stately queen.
Judy: My first thought was a tasteful version of Bjork's swan dress.
Carolyn N: Dress was pretty, but I think she looks her best when the clothes have some structure. The gathers (even though they were tiny ones) on the added bulk to the midsection, which, really almost nobody needs or wants!
Carrie: I thought the dress was elegant and Michelle looked lovely as always, but the gown did have a slight "Prom, June of 1971" feel. Although I thought the white looked stunning on her. But oh, that unfortunate choice of train! Obama kept tripping on it, Michelle kept trying to pull it up out of the way – that seems a poor design for the event. The extra fabric restrained them during what should be an ebullient occasion.
Mean Betty (warning – she's just about impossible to please!): Yes, Mean Betty was overcome by the moment. But a closer inspection of the gown–a very beautiful bedspread.
So … what did YOU think?!

Why the Fiscal Lunacy?
One of my favorite living historians is Victor Davis Hanson. I have read every book he has written and most of his articles. Trained as a classicist and historian of antiquity, he has written on a broad range of topics, from the hoplites of ancient Greece, ancient Greek agriculture, a searching examination of the Peloponnesian War, the farming crisis of the 80's, the history of warfare and culture, the teaching of the classics and the debacle of our non-policy on immigration, and I have been astonished at how skillfully this man writes and with what intelligence, and very dry humor, he cuts to the essence of whatever subject he addresses. He moonlights as a pundit on current events and in that capacity I have found a recent column of his intriguing on the question of just why the Obama administration is hellbent on compiling such huge annual deficits. Here is a portion of the column:
We are going to pile up another $3 trillion in national debt in just the first two years of the Obama administration. If the annual deficit should sink below $1.5 trillion, it will be called fiscal sobriety.
Why, when we owe $12 trillion, would the Obama administration set out budgets that will ensure our collective debt climbs to $20 trillion? Why are we borrowing more money, when Medicare, Social Security, the Postal Service, Amtrak, etc. are all insolvent as it is?
What is the logic behind something so clearly unhinged?
I present seven alternative reasons — some overlapping — why the present government is hell-bent on doubling the national debt in eight years. Either one, or all, or some, or none, of the below explain Obama's peculiar frenzied spending.
1) Absolutely moral and necessary?
The country is in need of massive more entitlements for our destitute and near to poor. Government is not big, but indeed too small to meet its moral obligations. Deficits are merely record-keeping. Throwing trillions into the economy will also help us all recover, by getting us moving again and inflating the currency. And we can pay the interest easily over the next 50 years. Just think another World War II era — all the time.
So big spending and borrowing are genuine efforts of true believers to make us safe, secure, and happy.
2) "Gorge the beast"
The spending per se is not so important, as the idea of deficits in general will ensure higher taxes. Nationalized health care, cap and trade, new initiatives in education, more stimulus — all that and more is less important than the fact that huge defects will require huge new taxes, primarily from the upper-classes. I see no reason why the total bite from state income, federal income, payroll, and health care taxes cannot soon in theory climb to 70% of some incomes (e.g., 10% state, 15.3% FICA, 40% federal, 3-5% health care). In other words, "redistributive change" is the primary goal. This aim is premised on the notion that income is a construct, if not unfairly calibrated, then at least capriciously determined — requiring the more intelligent in the technocracy to even out things and ensure an equality of result. After all, why should the leisured hedge-funder make all that more after taxes than the more noble waitress?
So big spending and borrowing mean big deficits, and that means taxing the greedy and giving their ill-gotten gains to the needy.
3) Big Brother?
Or does rampant borrowing for government spending reflect our despair over the inability of millions to know what is best for themselves? For democracy to work, all of us must fully participate. But because of endemic racism, sexism, class bias, and historical prejudices, millions of Americans do not have access to adequate education and enlightenment. Therefore, a particular technocratic class, with requisite skill and singular humanity, has taken it upon themselves to ensure everyone gets a fair shake — if only government at last has the adequate resources to fix things. If it proves problematic for one to register and vote, then there will be a program to make 100% participation possible. If some of us are too heavy and too chair-bound, we can be taught what and how to eat. If some of us do not study, we can adjust academic standards accordingly. In one does something unwise, like buying a plasma TV rather than a catastrophic health care plan, then we still can ensure he is covered. In other words, an all-knowing, all-powerful, all-moral guardian class requires resources to finish the promise of participatory America. After all, why would we allow the concrete contractor to "keep" 70% of his income only to blow it on worthless things like jet skis or a Hummer in his garage or a fountain in his yard — when a far wiser, more ethical someone like Van Jones could far more logically put that now wasted capital to use for the betterment of the far more needy?
Go here to read the rest. In times of national crisis, when the life of a nation is at stake, World War II is a prime example, you spend whatever it takes to get out of the crisis. As a percentage of our gdp we are currently amassing debt at a rate which, in the past 100 years, has only been exceeded during World War I and World War II.
Getting us to this situation has been as a result of bi-partisan folly. However, the current administration has taken this fiscal lunacy to an entirely new level. We have a debt crisis looming of the first magnitude, and the administration seems to have no clue as to what to do except to amass even more debt.
A few of my posts on the debt crisis we find ourselves in.
11 Responses to Why the Fiscal Lunacy?
The rationale for the "stimulus" is rooted in Keynesian economics. The problem with this one as opposed to previous ones is rather than using the stimulus to kick start a stalled economy, combined with Obama's other policies such as Gov't takeover of major parts of the economy such as Fannie & Freddie, AIG, GM etc, health care reform, Cap & Trade etc. together they are going to have the opposite effect. The Federal Gov't now owns 80% of the mortgages in the US. So it is a double whammy. There is, and will be will be no "recovery".
The current "recovery" is a dead cat bounce. Bernanke and Geithner's pronouncements that the "recession" is over is the equivalent of Neville Chamberlain's "Peace for our time" speech right before Germany invaded Poland. We are in the eye of a hurricane right now and the second half is going to be worse than the first because the Fed is out of bullets. The next shoe will be the collapse of the dollar (brought about on purpose) and the introduction of a regional (Amero) or international currency (SDR's). Anything denominated in dollars will be bought out out for pennies on the dollar.
Obama is just a tool of the gang that surrounds him to tank the economy on purpose to bring about the NWO. Obama isn't smart enough to think this stuff up on his own, but then the same could be said for Bush who lost it with me after telling America to "go shopping" after 9-11. In reality, this has all slowly been taking place since the end of WW 1. We're just lucky enough to be there for the climax.
Given that 53 cents of every dollar of income taxes goes to support current and past military misadventures, I think that VDH needs to reexamine the real cause of America's fiscal insolvency.
It's also worth pointing out that Obama, whatever else he is doing, is set to lower the deficit from Bush's time in office.
"It's also worth pointing out that Obama, whatever else he is doing, is set to lower the deficit from Bush's time in office."
Given that 53 cents of every dollar of income taxes goes to support current and past military misadventures
Why not go one better and use Maryland sales tax revenue as your denominator?
I was not aware that any portion of my New York State income tax payments were devoted to 'past and present military adventures'. (Though I rather do like the idea of Gov. Patterson calling out the National Guard to arrest the state legislature and stuff them in the Albany County Jail, now that you mention it).
About 5% of Gross Domestic Product is devoted to military expenditure. (A decade ago, the proportion was about 3.5%). Prior to the recent federal spending binge, about 14% of all public expenditure was devoted to the military. If you wish to apportion debt service costs among other other sorts of expenditure, perhaps 16% of public expenditure was so devoted. That would be, ahem, the sum of costs for maintaining the military, not the costs attributable to 'past and present military adventures'. (Unless it be your contention that military expenditure itself is illegitimate).
We must live in the United States of Topsy Turvy Land. The projected deficit for 2010 (Obama's second year in office) which was three times as large as Bush's last deficit *may* turn out to be only 2.5 times as Bush's last deficit and somehow we're to consider Obama to have fixed Bush's mismanagement? Nevermind that Obama's own budget initiatives project ever increasing deficits YoY.
So wj's citation was an assertion made by the Obama administration that still leaves the deficit higher than it was when Bush was in office.
Next time you might want to read the sources before linking to them.
As I understand it, Obama inherited the 1.3 trillion dollar deficit from the Bush administration, and so it is misleading to attribute the ballooning deficit to his policies alone, which is all I intended to say. If you look at the CBO forecast (and I acknowledge that many deny the accuracy of the CBO), Obama's budget *will* lower deficit's longterm. Of course, I am not a supporter of Obama, and it is not terribly important to me whether is is moderately more or less fiscally insane than Bush; but it is fair to point out that the current deficit problem is not *entirely* due to his own recklessness.
Art Deco: what about this analysis is wrong: http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=18659
That figure includes the Pentagon budget request of $717 billion, plus an estimated $200 billion in supplemental funding (called "overseas contingency funding" in euphemistic White House-speak), to fund the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, some $40 billion or more in "black box" intelligence agency funding, $94 billion in non-DOD military spending (that would include stuff like military activies funded through NASA, military spending by the State Department, etc., miilitary-related activities within the Dept. of Homeland Security, etc.), $123 billion in veterans benefits and health care spending, and $400 billion in interest on debt raised to pay for prior wars and the standing military during peacetime (whatever that is!).
What is wrong is that this fellow pads the payroll in various ways by adding the budgets of the intelligence services, the space program, veterans hospitals, and the federal police; and pads it further by attributing the entire charge for service on the federal debt to military expenditure, as if there were no domestic expenditure whatsoever. He then further manipulates his figures by expressing these charges as a ratio of federal income tax revenue, even though north of 40% of public expenditure is by state and local governments and most federal expenditure is financed out of Social Security taxes and bond sales. But you knew that.
Thank you gentlemen. This thread, thus far, is a classic example of what robust combox debate should be!
One thing I like very much about VDH is that he is not only a professor, but a farmer. He and his brother run a California raisin farm that has been in the family for 4 generations. So his great store of academic learning is balanced by the fact that he is familiar with the ordinary, down-to-earth concerns of farming folk.
The difference between military spending and spending on social programs is that I see defense spending as a legitimate function of the federal government. Obamacare is another matter entirely. I certainly think provision should be made for those unable to obtain healthcare for themselves. I don't believe the federal government should be in the business of providing it for all of us, whether we want it or not.

Need to buy first fly
Hello forum friends.
First post on this forum, just joined this week, as a matter of fact, just bought my first fly rod and reel this week. Super stoked.
I have no flies, so before I start thinking and looking, I wanted to get some first hand knowledge and suggestions.
The area I live in is San Antonio texas.
I'm gonna use a 9ft 5 wt rod. Targeting LMB, some glue gill and what ever other pan fish. In creeks and guadalupe river. I am just so excited to catch anything on a fly! (Containing my excitement)
Water is mostly clear. Tell me, what shape profile of fly should I use, weight, and color pattern? I'm not looking for secret patterns or anything, I just really have NO CLUE what to throw. So to narrow it down, I'm asking for help from anyone on this forum that by chance has fished waters around my area.
Thank you so much I advance for responses pertaining to my questions.

Re: Need to buy first fly
This is almost one of those "if I could only use one fly, what would it be" threads!
If I had to pick just one, I would probably pick a natural color clouser minnow. Gray over white, brown/white, etc.....
I would aim for a size 6 or 4.
Aside from that, you have to realize that there is no one perfect fly. You have to find flies that imitate what the fish eat.
If they eat crayfish, buy a crayfish pattern. If they are hitting minnows, buy a minnow pattern. If they are hitting frogs, buy a top water pattern.
Its just like fishing with regular gear...different lures will work depending on conditions.
Re: Need to buy first fly
I very much agree with the previous post, but since you're just getting started & sounds like you don't have any casting experience, I would stay away from Clouser Minnows for now. They are made with barbell eyes of various metals & if you hit your rod with one while attempting to cast, they will break the rod.
I've never fished in that area, but have a friend (Kelly Watson, Texas River Bass) who guides in that area. He fishes the Blanco River mostly. From pictures I've seen of those waters, you probably don't need weighted flies, or at least not heavily weighted like a Clouser Minnow. Clouser Minnows with bead chain eyes will work there, but still be careful of hitting the rod with them.
For a surface fly I would start with large foam type hoppers. Perhaps a size 6 or 4 Chernobyl Hopper, or Triple Decker. Black & yellow would be good if you can find them, but other colors will work. I once tied some large locust flies for Kelly in those colors, as he indicated the local locust where black & yellow.
For subsurface, try Woolly Buggers or one of the many variations. Black, olive, rootbeer brown, & white will all work on bass. Again, I would go with size 6 or 4 since you're fishing with a 5 weight.
These are Clouser Minnows. Notice the eyes!
Woolly Buggers:
Re: Need to buy first fly
Re: Need to buy first fly
Welcome to the forum!
And the secret is ------- Bunyon Bug----Stonefly#2!!!
Just kidding! There is no secret fly only the right one !
Re: Need to buy first fly
x2 for what BigJim said. Bass on a popper is a blast and they seem to have a hard time turning down a black wooly bugger.
Re: Need to buy first fly
If I was stuck on an island with a Bass/Panfish pond with only one type of fly it would be:
Wooly Buggers
Wooly Buggers
Wooly Buggers
Wooly Buggers
Wooly Buggers
All great recomendations so far but I think a wooly Bugger is the most versatile fly you could use, especially in still water. Strip it fast and it will look like a minnow or a sculpin, let it drop and twitch and it's a dead ringer for a leech or worm.
Re: Need to buy first fly
Welcome to the fourm Alex. I'm just up the highway from you near Austin.
Get you some foam hoppers, it's a fun productive way to fish - especially just getting started. The fish will come to you instead of just blind casting all day. The bream love them.
When those aren't working use baitfish imitations - bigger wooly buggers, clouser minnows (though like mentioned, the weighted eyes can do some damage to the rod if they hit). Once it gets cooler around here crawfish patterns will do good. Those cypress knees on the Guad hold some big bass.
You have a Bass Pro Shop there in town and they should have a good selection.
The guadalupe hybrids and Rio Grande cichlids love flys with legs hanging off, like the "big ugly" patterns.
When you catch some fish post up some pictures of the Guadalupe River, that's a beautiful place.
Good luck,
Thanks everyone for your input in terms of what to start with and what to avoid, great advice. Starting to learn the terminology and types of flies is awesome. I'll have to head to the local bass pro and start browsing their selection. But first, gotta learn the casting...
@David in Austin, thanks for your advice. PM sent.

Re: Need to buy first fly
Welcome to the forum Alex
It wasn't that long ago when I was first learning to fly fish and still haven't forgotten the experience and just how pumped I was to start catching fish. I also remember after my first day on the water how frustrating it was. No fish, ceaseless wind knots and getting hung up on my back casts. I quickly retreated to my backyard and began learning the basics of how to cast, on my next journey to the water I managed to catch 1 fish and spent less time working knots out of my tippet and leader. I hope your first outing goes better than mine, but if it doesn't, don't worry about it as we have all been there.

A month after playing her final basketball game for Pima College, Raja Moreno-Ross got a text message from her old coach, Todd Holthaus.
"Call me ASAP."
She called. "Well?"
"You're an All-American," Holthaus said.
"I'm what?"
"A first-team All-American."
Other than "you just won the Powerball," how do you get a better phone call than that?
If you looked away for a year or two, you might find this hard to believe. Until her junior year in high school, the daughter of former Arizona Wildcats football lineman Sam Ross was a soccer goalie of note with an A-level personality.
"Raja is constant entertainment," says Holthaus. "She's good with people."
But she wasn't a basketball player at all.
"I didn't even know the terms, like 'the key' or 'baseline' or any of those things," she says. "I had zero basketball IQ."
For eight years, Moreno-Ross established herself as one of Tucson's top youth soccer players, one who seemed destined for a college scholarship like fellow Oro Valley hot shots Kaitlyn Lopez , Justene Kesterson and Karina Gabino, all of whom now play at Arizona.
But last week, when the NJCAA announced its 10-woman Division II All-American team, Moreno-Ross had successfully completed an identity change.
"She is pretty fearless," says Holthaus. "She put up numbers I couldn't imagine against kids who were bigger and had far more experience."
This isn't new for Holthaus; behind the south basket at the PCC gymnasium, the school displays a banner of its women's basketball All-Americans: Tia Morrison, UNLV; Abyee Maracigan, Idaho State; Deanna Daniels, Grand Canyon University; A'jha Edwards, Montana State-Northern.
On Monday, Moreno-Ross looked up at the banner and shook her head. Her name will soon be added to the list.
"I got lucky coming to Pima," she says. "I got lucky to get a free education and lucky to be a part of such a good tradition."
It took some unusual courage for a 15-year-old to willingly change high schools, from Ironwood Ridge to Tucson, to move from the suburbs to midtown, to change friends, change sports and change her life.
"I was going through some rough times at home and with family; we had a lot of transitioning going on," she says. "So I decided to do something for myself; I had watched the Tucson High basketball team play in the summer league at Pima College, and I was impressed.
"It was all about hard work. I thought I needed some of that."
Moreno-Ross gets her athletic DNA from her father, who played on Dick Tomey's Arizona football teams of the early 1990s, and from her mother, Melissa, who ran on the cross-country teams at Amphitheater High School.
Initially, the soccer-to-basketball switch was overwhelming; Moreno-Ross harbored thoughts about quitting her entire junior season at THS.
"I hated every single day," she remembers. "Our coach (Paul Reed) was not one for fun and games during those two-hour workouts. You had to pay a price to get better but my mom told me 'finish it,' and so I finished it. I paid that price."
Holthaus, who has been one of the leading coaches in ACCAC basketball since 2007, averaging 22 wins a year and reaching the NJCAA championship game in 2011, knows a good prospect when he sees one, even if the résumé is more about soccer than basketball.
"I thought she could tap into her athleticism and she did," he says. "She's still got a lot more in her. She doesn't back down."
Moreno-Ross has taken a recruiting visit to Hawaii and is also talking to Long Beach State. She's somewhat of a 'tweener, a 5-foot 10-inch power forward who spent most of her PCC years at center.
But even though she gave up six inches and years of experience, she more than held her own against fellow first-team All-American Joy Howard of national power Central Arizona College. Moreno-Ross had 13 double-doubles this season, averaging 13.2 points and 9.2 rebounds. She was third in the NJCAA in rebounding and, a tribute to her staying power, third in the nation in minutes played.
"I've got a long way to go, but I've changed my whole life by coming to Pima," she says. "Now I really believe in myself."
Upon learning of her selection to the All-American team, Moreno-Ross phoned her father, who was in a business meeting in Philadelphia.
"He started shouting 'My baby's an All-American! My baby's an All-American!'" she says. "His co-workers looked at him like he was crazy."
But it was a good crazy.

Bulletin Boards- More Than You Will Ever Want to Know
I put up my bulletin boards today. Of course it can NOT be simple. I must over analyze this little task, too. After reading The Daily Five and a few other brain based research articles I have tried to stay away from patterned fabric. It can be distracting to the eyes and make it difficult for the brain to focus on what is displayed. Really, borders should also be plain (solid black was recommended). I caved and bought polka dots, but I can tell it is MUCH more distracting. I am thinking to off set the distract-ability of the borders I may mat everything I post in black to make it pop out. I can't decide if I have the time!
I chose blue specifically. I originally picked out a coral and turquoise color. I pitched that idea when I went to a professional development two weeks ago about how brain research can be applied to education. I can't remember the exact phrase but blue (and I don't think it was pastels- an actual true blue) promoted cognitive processing. I was sold :). I figure I need all the help I can get and if it is the color of the background, so be it!
I have a quick and easy tip. I know many people like fabric. So do I. It doesn't fade and looks great for a long time. The problem with fabric is that it can be so dang expensive! It never fails; I always pick out the MOST expensive pattern.
I read online somewhere that a great CHEAP fabric is the Wal-Mart flat sheet (make sure NOT to pick up fitted like I did the first time around). They cover a good bit of the bulletin board. I like the twin size.
I picked up two in this blue color and it covered a bunch.
The best part? Each sheet costs only $5.00. For fabric that is SUPER cheap!!!! The total cost for my boards was about $15 (if I include the fabric I already had). More expensive than it had to be; I chopped the fabric up to fit my odd sized boards. I do have one tip- take the sheets home and wash them first. Mine are ALL wrinkled because I pulled them straight out of the package and put them up. I pulled it as tight as possible, but the wrinkles are still very visible. I think I may bring my Downy Wrinkle Releaser, spray it all down, and cross my fingers!
I plan to use the far left board above the library as a math word wall. The right cork blue board will display the CAFE menu and reading strategies. The light blue is for me and my junk. I wanted a place to hang pictures the kids made, schedules, notes and memos. It is bigger than I need, but the dark blue ran out : ). I am sure I can find enough stuff to fill it up!!!!

I'm jealous you have such awesome bulletin boards. I have two teeny tiny half sized boards on either side of my chalkboard. Depressing. Like the sheet idea...adding to my list :)ReplyDelete
Following Optimism in 2nd Grade
I've been looking for a way to cover my boards for test taking time. The sheets are a wonderful idea. I lucked out and my boards were made blue. Whatever they are covered in is blue. As a way to save paper, I just don't cover them. Now I have scientific research to back up my leaving them uncovered. Thanks for the wonderful tip.ReplyDelete
What a great( and thrifty) idea!!ReplyDelete
Hi Mandy! Thanks for all the info on bulletin boards. Can you ever really know too much about bulletin boards? We don't have bulletin boards in my classroom, but giant walls, that years ago the principal let the teacher HOWEVER they wanted. I didn't know that blue was such a good color, but that is what I painted mine. I also went to all black border last year or at least black as the background in the border and I loved the continuity. :)ReplyDelete
The Teaching Thief
Thank you for sharing the information about the color blue, promoting cognitive processing. I have been thinking about painting my classroom blue. Right now it's yellow. When I first started at the school where I teach, the first thing I did was paint a wooden bulletin board, blue.ReplyDelete
Using fabric/sheets to cover boards is my first choice, but the fire marshal won't allow it. That's one reason that I painted the brown, wooden board.
By the way, your room looks great.ReplyDelete
My room is blue, bulletin boards (only 3 and very small) are covered in black with bright borders. I really like the look. Glad to hear the blue promotes cognitive processing! Every little bit helps!ReplyDelete
Your room is looing wonderful! I love using fabric and packing paper. The dollar store has brown packing paper (or wrapping paper) used to wrap packages to send in the mail. I have a Lodge theme in my classroom and it worked perfectly! Also another suggestion is a plastic table cloth from the wonderful Dollar Store to cover a bulletin board. :)ReplyDelete
I love your ideas! Great to include calm colors, especially on places that can distract students during their work! I found your blog via Elementary Matters! Thanks for all you do :]ReplyDelete

What great suggestions! I never would have thought to use a sheet-I just may have to try that this year.ReplyDelete
I just stumbled across your blog via Pinterest and I noticed we have the exact same bulletin board colors. I bought those same sheets and polka dotted border strips!ReplyDelete
How do you get the sheets on the boards? Can you just staple them? I am very interested in doing these since it looks great and is cheap!!ReplyDelete
Hey Julie!ReplyDelete
I just used a regular stapler and stapled them up! Works like a charm!
Do you keep the fabric up all year?? I use wrapping paper which I buy out of season and at outlet stores so it is also cheap, but it wouldn't last as long as a sheet...Hmmm...thanks for the ideas.ReplyDelete
I do keep up the fabric all year. I am so bad about bulletin boards! I rarely switch them out- usually I make them reference walls that I just keep adding information to!ReplyDelete

I actually use the plastic party tablecloths from the dollarstore. You can use them as dry erase boards as well or using scotch tape you can move things on the board all you want!ReplyDelete
I used the plastic tablecloths from Dollar Tree but a little bit of stretching actually started to tear them. I'm definitely going to check out Walmart's sheets when they have their back to school sales! :) Great idea!ReplyDelete

Walmart material may be cheaper. I always look for $1 a yard clearance... It never fades and you buy it once. The flat sheet is a good idea. I would use the ones I don't use at home, but brown and tan are not so bright.ReplyDelete

I love using sheets fir bullentin boards. I even made two faux bullentin boards from sheets and border. No one can tell it's not a real board.ReplyDeleteReplies
How did you make faux bulletin boards?Delete
Our custodians painted our bulletin boards a couple of years ago. Some are black and some are blue. It has worked well. The only problem I am seeing is that after a few years they will need to be repainted to cover pin holes.ReplyDelete
Mandy, Did you have to cut the sheets to make them fit?ReplyDeleteReplies
I did have to cut a little off the sides to make them fit the boards!Delete

Do you staple your stuff on the fabric ir tape it?ReplyDeleteReplies

Thanks for sharing this information. it is a use able information. this is a nice and good blog.ReplyDelete
All kinds of Colored Paper and BoardsReplies
I use Wal Mart sheets and if I can find them sheets from Goodwill too, both flat and fitted to cover boards and as skirt covers or table clothes to cover what is stored under the long tables. I've used hot glue to secure them and safety pins under the tables so they don't show. If you use hot glue be sure to remove it from the fabrics before washing. They also work great for boxes and containers that need to remain in your room for storage, but might not look great. Cover with the sheets, secure with tape or a small dab of hot glue, be a bit creative in stacking them and use them as a display area. Toss in some fake vines and or books and take an eye sore into an useful and creative area.Delete

A HUSBAND lost his temper and used foul language after a parish council rejected his wife's plea to fill a vacant seat.
Graham Gould's outburst came at Overton Parish Council's May meeting as he swore at borough councillor Ian Tilbury for questioning Angela Gould's suitability to sit on the parish council.
Mrs Gould had made a passionate speech about why she wanted to become a councillor, and even compared herself to Cllr Tilbury, saying: "He always works hard to make sure that things get done for residents."
But the flattery got her nowhere as Cllr Tilbury brought up a long-running boundary dispute Mrs Gould was involved in, regarding her home in Red Lion Lane, and claimed it had cost the council thousands of pounds trying to resolve the matter.
The row, which has previously been reported in The Gazette, concerns the ownership of a strip of land at Mr and Mrs Gould's home, which the council claim infringes the Edward Kersley playing field.
Following Mrs Gould's speech, the press and public were asked to leave the meeting while councillors decided whether she should be co-opted on to the council. But despite being the only candidate to apply, Mrs Gould failed to get enough support to become a councillor.
Mrs Gould has now submitted a formal complaint to Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council's monitoring officer, criticising Cllr Tilbury's behaviour during the meeting and claiming he launched a "tirade of abusive allegations".
But Cllr Tilbury has hit back, pointing out that the only abusive language came from Mr Gould.
In her complaint, Mrs Gould apologised for her husband's language, saying: "He felt the need to defend my good name and in so doing was verbally abusive towards Cllr Tilbury. I am sorry for this outburst over which I had no personal control."
She told The Gazette: "I would be happy to answer all of the other allegations made by Cllr Tilbury and to present accurate, evidenced facts, but I did not feel that it was appropriate to do so in the context of my application to become a parish councillor.
"I felt as if I had been put on trial by the parish council, rather than being given fair consideration and equality of opportunity for a voluntary job.
"Cllr Tilbury did not treat me as an individual and spoke of my husband and I as if we were one person. I found this particularly insulting, because I certainly have a mind of my own."
But Cllr Tilbury, who believes his comments were fair, said: "We have to judge whether a person is fit to be a parish councillor."

David Michael Lee, Renowned OC Artist, Now Has a Sandwich Blog
Pambazo from Taqueria La Poblanita in Anacrime: as good as advertised
David Michael Lee
Crazy-but-true story: more than a decade ago, my best friend and I took a television course at Orange Coast College. One of our classmates was this funny-ass gabacho, whom we eventually teamed up with on a many projects, best one involving a PSA with a fat guy who died from eating so much. This white guy was so funny, my best friend and I would talk about him years after the fact, wondering where he went.
Flash-forward to 2006, when I'm drunk at Memphis, and my girl introduces me to one David Michael Lee. I knew of his artwork, but fuck if it didn't turn out that David was my much-lionized gabacho from so long ago--and now, he was famous! We quickly struck up a friendship, and have been pals ever since.
David is an art professor and currently in charge of the gallery at Coastline Community College, but he's also secretly a foodie: his father was a master gardener (as his mom), and David can cook up a parrillada as well as any Argie. And now, he has a blog devoted exclusively to sandwiches.
Eat This Sandwich is a straightforward thing, more Tumblr than honest-to-goodness blog, but still: David knows his local sandwiches. He's tried the pambazos at Taqueria La Poblanita, Memphis' Cobra, even the Lil' Pickle. With luscious pictures, David's blog is a welcome addition to the anemic world of OC food blogging--now, who the hell is going to start a quesadilla blog???
