Wade Cunningham is teaming up with AJ Foyt Racing for his first Indianapolis 500 campaign, lining up alongside the team's regular driver Mike Conway.

Wade Cunningham is setting his sights on the starting grid for the 96th Indianapolis 500 race next month, after securing a deal with AJ Foyt Racing to drive a second car for the team.
The 27-year-old New Zealander is a three-time winner at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the Firestone Indy Lights series Freedom 100 support race, and is hoping that he can finally achieve success with a shot in the greatest spectacle in motor sport in 2012.
"Indy means more to me than anything else," confessed Cunningham. "Winning at Indy in the Firestone Indy Lights Series is the only thing that kept my career on track so it's important to me to go there and do well in IndyCar and prove that the results can translate."
"I knew Wade was good in the little cars," teased car owner AJ Foyt of Cunningham's Indy Lights success. "But what opened my eyes was his race at Kentucky in the IndyCars."
Cunningham's outing in last year's Kentucky IndyCar race - ultimately won by Ed Carpenter - saw him start in 15th place and rise as high as challenging Scott Dixon for third, before getting caught out for track position in the closing laps and ending up in seventh place.
Cunningham is certainly thrilled to be joining up with the inimitable four-time Indy 500 champion AJ Foyt for his own maiden attempt at the race next month.
"Driving for AJ? He's a legend," said Cunningham. "AJ's from a different era but he's raced front engine roadsters at the Speedway and ended with the turbo-charged CART Indy cars, so he's had an amazing career, and his is a very storied team, so it's quite an honour to drive for him."
As this will be Cunningham's first attempt at the Indy 500 he'll still need to complete the Rookie Orientation Program on May 10 first. That shouldn't be a big problem for someone of his oval racing experience in Indy Lights and at other IZOD IndyCar Series oval speedway tracks.
He'll be driving the #41 ECat/ABC Supply car with associate sponsorship from Alfe Heat Treating. Like his new team mate Mike Conway, he'll be powered by a Honda engine for the month. The two will share Conway's #14 car at Texas Motor Speedway for the IZOD IndyCar Series Open Test there, giving Cunningham crucial preparation just three days ahead of his ROP test.
The official week of practice at IMS starts on May 12, with pole day qualifying on May 19. The race itself starts at 11am ET (4pm BST) on May 27.

The Welfare Wouldn'T Split You Up So... Part 1Hello everyone I am roberts1107, and I got a story to tell you,I swear it is all the truth even as fantastic as it may sound. My earlist recollection of my parents are when we lived in the projects in Phoneix Az. I was 4 years old at the time, I know this because this would be the last year I and my younger brother Jack would ever see our mother. I remember the ambulance coming in the middle of the night and taking her to the hospital,I woke up and came out of my room to see what was going on. My dad kept telling me that it was ok that these men are taking mom to the hospital to help her. A few days later dad took us to the hospital to see mom. We weren't allowed on the patient floor so we had to crawl up on the window ledge outside of her room and say our good bye's. Mom passed away in surgery she had Cancer. Dad and us moved around a lot over the next three years and dad starting drinking a lot I can't say if he became an alcholic after moms death or if he was an alcholic already and I was just to young to tell. I know he would get angry a lot and scream at people we were trying to rent from "What the hell am I supposed to do tie a chain around them and drown them in the GD lake!"Then he would go get a bottle of his favorite at the time from the nearest liquor store and would proceed to get drunk. this went on till I was seven and then we were living in Jordan Ark in an old cabin in the middle of a pasture the roof was caved in on the back of the house and so we just closed the back of the house off and didn't go in there. dad told us every to watch out for snakes and scorpins that would craw up into the house. I remember dad was driving us somewhere and he was drinking and going off on one of his rants Jack and I was riding in the back of the old truck we had and dad shouting at us to get our a**** in the cab right then so we climed through the passinger side window as soon as we were in dad tuned and said we better strighten the H*** up or he would just wreck us and kill us all and then he said BY G** if we didn't beleive him just watch this and he ran us off the road into the ditch the truck rolled over on its side and caught fire. And that was the last time We ever seen our dad again. The hiway patrol took dad away and we stayed with the neighbors for a few days till we went to court. I still remember the judge saying that it would be in the best intrest of the boys to take them away and place them in foster care till such time as suitable parents could be found to adopt us.Well I didn't know what that ment but I knew it was bad. Dad went to jail and my brother and I went to Agusta Ks. to live with the norris's we were there about a year and mrs.Norris hated both of us because we uncooth hillbillies with no manners at all but as she was married to the pastor of the pentacostal church and he was doing foster care for political reasons for his church she didn't have a lot of say in the matter, so she just took it out on my brother and I. As we had no table manners she figured we didn't need to eat so we were often sent to bed with out dinner. A if her little angles broke something or got into trouble for lying then Jack and I were in trouble because we taught her kids to lie so we got the belt for it I remember once Tracy her youngest son lost a librairy book and of course he blamed me for it so old lady Norris had her daughter tayna whip me every 30 min. till the book was found, this went on all day long. We were finialy moved to the Taylors in Pittsburg Ks and stayed with them till I was ten years old. Life there was much better for us they were more like we were they like to hunt and fish Bob was a trap shooter so we traveled around a lot. Jack and I thought we found a home at last but we came home from school one day and was told that we were going to be adopted by the Robinsons. That was when the gates of H*** opened and the torture really started.

Veteran's life highlighted value of faith, family
In its heyday, John Gruber's Monday night prayer group could attract 250 people.
"We would have other denominations ... and this was in a Catholic church," said Dom Toretti, 83, of West Mifflin, who began attending the prayer group Gruber founded in St. Agnes Church about 40 years ago. "He was low-key, but he always had a good message."
John P. Gruber Sr., formerly of West Mifflin, died on Friday, March 29, 2013, in Vincentian Home in McCandless. He was 84.
A retired electrical contractor, Mr. Gruber owned and operated Gruber and Denne Electric with his cousin, Bill Denne, for 40 years.
They'd go near and far for work, Toretti said. "They'd travel everywhere, even Harrisburg."
Mr. Gruber and his wife of 62 years, the late Mary Martha Crawford Gruber, were the parents of nine children.
"My mother always wanted a large family, and my dad was a good provider," said his daughter, Marcy Earl of West Mifflin. "Because we had a happy childhood, I had seven (children), my brother (Tom) had 14, and (my brother) Jack has five."
Her father enjoyed bowling and woodworking, Earl said.
Mr. Gruber, who served in the Army's 82nd Airborne Division between World War II and the Korean War, was a former volunteer for Meals on Wheels and past president of the St. Agnes Parish Council.
In addition to his daughter, Marcy, he is survived by daughters Elaine Hrinda of McKeesport, Laura Loranger of Belle Vernon and Joy Foster of McCandless; sons, John P. Gruber Jr. of Belle Vernon, Thomas Gruber of Baldwin, the Rev. Mark Gruber of Latrobe, Matthew Gruber of Belle Vernon and Luke Gruber of McCandless.
He is survived by two sisters, Barbara Thomas of West Mifflin and Catherine Williams of Jefferson Hills; 44 grandchildren; and 23 great-grandchildren.
A blessing service will be held at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday in Maloy-Schleifer Funeral Home, 915 Kennedy Ave. in Duquesne, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. in St. Agnes Church, with the Rev. Joseph Grosko officiating. Burial with military honors will be in St. Joseph Cemetery, West Mifflin.

One of the things I hear most from moms with young babies is that "this age" is the most important to stay at home with children. Otherwise, you miss milestones, bring home daycare germs, spend more time away from baby than with baby, and so forth. While the value of being at home with children will always be high, I am finding that the older my kids get…the more they need me to be available for them. "Available" does not always mean physically being home 24/7, but they need me to be accessible, one on one time, conversations, quality time, nurturing.

The newborn/infant stage was honestly not my favorite but looking back, I put so much guilt on myself to be at work. I let others guilt me into thinking that I was missing the very most crucial moments in their lives. My kids are now 2 and 4 years old, and we feel that "this" is the age they need more guidance, direction, attention. Babies always know who their mommy is (which was one of my worries when I first went back) and they need interaction. Toddlers need activity. Preschoolers need socialization. Their needs are always growing.
Currently, my children spend more time with my husband and I combined than ever before. They are thriving, growing, brilliant, loving children. I am so very proud to be their mommy, and I am very thankful for all of the very important people in our lives that have had a hand in helping us raise them.
The point of this post is not to say that the infant months are not extremely valuable. I am not saying that women should not stay home during that time, but I do want other working moms to know that it is okay to be sad, okay to be happy, and okay to be a working mom with a young baby. Your children will always needs you…and love you. Especially as they grow older.

Exactly 30 years ago, Marvin Gaye sang the National Anthem at the NBA All-Star game at Los Angeles' famous Forum and it was forever changed. He received his heavy share of backlash over his sultry rendition of the song because the usual suspects thought that it was disrespectful among other things.
Fast forward to today and now you have a group of folks that are asking to CHANGE the National Anthem to R. Kelly's Ignition Remix? Are you serious? We thought it was an insane jokey joke, but nothing could be further from the truth. It is authentic and can be seen on the White House website petition page entitled:
"change the national anthem to R. Kelly's 2003 hit "Ignition (Remix)."
Now before you run off and sign the petition, ask yourselves what was in that weed you bought last night? But more importantly, you think you could've nominated a better song or is the country really reflective of the Ignition (Remix)?
There is no way in hell that a country that could not stand for Marvin Gaye's rendition of the national anthem would ever stand for R. Kelly's Ignition Remix as being the new anthem. No way!
The petition states:
"We, the undersigned, would like the Obama administration to recognize the need for a new national anthem, one that even a decade after its creation, is still hot and fresh out the kitchen. America has changed since Francis Scott Key penned our current anthem in 1814. Since then, we have realized that after the show, it's the afterparty, and that after the party, it's the hotel lobby, and–perhaps most importantly–that 'round about four, you've got to clear the lobby, at which point it's strongly recommended that you take it to the room and freak somebody. President Obama: we ask you to recognize the evolution of this beautiful country and give us an anthem that better suits the glorious nation we have become."
George Clinton must be happy to see this. He not only has lived to see them figuratively paint the White House black, but he might also get a chance to see one nation under a groove. The petition needs 100,000 signatures to get a look-see by Congress and astonishingly enough, it's up to nearly 5,000 at the time of this report.
According to the Huffington Post, there have been other ridiculous petitions made like the petition to get a government-commissioned Death Star. Oooookay.
Check it out here. And for old time's sake, check out Marvin. There'll never be another like him.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/9/2014 (1078 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
City hall should promote the benefits of its 'cops in schools' program to encourage all schools to consider it, mayoral candidate Paula Havixbeck said.
Havixbeck said she'd promote adoption of the school resource officer program, adding it's shown to provide benefits to students, schools and the community.
"Many school principals and teachers tell me about the importance of this program," Havixbeck said. This is often the only positive interaction some young people have with police."
The SRO program is a partnership between the city, participating school divisions and the province. Only three school divisions – Winnipeg, St. James-Assiniboia, and Pembina Trails – are participating now, with police officer assigned to work the divisions' high schools and junior high schools.
Havixbeck said she hoped she could secure corporate sponsorship for the program, making it easier for cash-strapped school divisions and private schools to participate.

The fall cow culling season is upon us. The weeks from mid-October through mid-December typically has the highest beef cow slaughter of the year (except for Thanksgiving week), with most of the increase in the four weeks prior to Thanksgiving. Whether or not we follow the typical seasonal pattern for the remaining weeks of the year will determine whether or, more likely, how much net beef cow herd liquidation has occurred in 2012. There are reasons to argue that fall cow culling will be less than normal, more than normal, or just about average.
Much of the challenge of determining what is happening with the beef cow herd in 2012 comes from the fact that we are comparing to a very unusual base in 2011. For the year to date, beef cow slaughter is down nearly 13 percent from the drought enhanced 2011 level. The year over year total has been falling in recent weeks with sharply lower beef cow slaughter this summer. Since mid-July beef cow slaughter has been down 20 percent from 2011, thus pulling down the year to date totals. A comparison to 2010 may be more revealing; the 2012 year to date total is down 9.6 percent from 2010, while the summer period is down 4.2 percent.
It is hard to isolate obvious drought impacts in the 2012 beef cow slaughter so far, though there is no doubt that there are some effects. The current slaughter rate suggests that net beef cow culling rate for the year will be about 11 percent. This value depends on both total beef cow slaughter for the year and also the rate at which replacement heifers entered the herd. The long term average beef cow slaughter rate is 9.6 percent and is typically higher than this level during liquidations and lower during herd expansions. Given the year to date slaughter totals, beef cow slaughter would have to drop to about 50 percent of last year for the remaining weeks of the year to lower total beef cow slaughter to pull cow culling down enough to prevent net beef cow herd liquidation. That seems very unlikely. Fall beef cow culling could be lower than usual if the drought forced significant early cow culling leaving fewer cows to be culled in the traditional seasonal peaks. On the other hand, fall cow culling could increase more than seasonally in the next few weeks if producers have not yet culled enough cows to match limited hay supplies. The situation is quite murky right now but the next four or five weeks of cow slaughter data may provide a better look at what to expect for net changes in the beef cow herd in 2012.

Slaying vampires seems to be a piece of cake compared to the daily challenges of motherhood for actress and first time mom Sarah Michelle Gellar.
The 34-year-old starlet of Buffy the Vampire Slayer sat down on NBC's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and dished about the craziness of raising her 2-year-old cutie Charlotte with her hubby Freddie Prinze, Jr.
Sarah revealed to the Late Night host that although she truly loves being a mother, the job can be a whole lot harder – and messier – than slaying those pesky vampires on TV!
[Charlotte] has some issues with poop. I mean I also have some issues with poop, I'm not poop's biggest fan. She does this thing, she likes to take her diaper off anyway she can at night. Like if she poops at all in her diaper, she doesn't want it on anymore, which I kind of understand. I would not myself want to sit in a diaper full of poop."
She continued to describe Charlotte's dismay about wearing diapers and her duct taped attempts at keeping them on her darling daughter. Alas, it did not work.
"I come in the other morning and she's like 'Mama, Mama, poop in the bed.' And I'm like 'yeah, I see.'"
The grossest part described by Sarah was when Charlotte leaned over her soiled bed sheets, smells her mess and stated, "I think it's hummus."
The busy mom is starring in the new television thriller Ringer in which she stars as twin who – along with her sister – is hiding dark secrets.

At least nine police chiefs were removed in Diyarbakir Police Department in the latest in a series of personnel changes across the country amid a graft investigation that has implicated sons of three ministers, businessmen close to the government as well as the chief of the state bank, Today's Zaman reported.
In Diyarbakir Police Department, chiefs of important units such as public security, personnel and cyber crimes were removed along with many other staff.
Private Cihan news agency reported on Saturday that Diyarbakir Police public security unit chief Emin Tigli was appointed as chief of the children unit, while chief of the children unit was brought to lead the public security unit.
Diyarbakir regional traffic unit chief Seyit Cingoz was appointed to city traffic unit while personnel unit chief Vakkas Aslan was dispatched to budget unit. Head of the budget unit Adem Yilmaz was appointed as chief of the legal affairs unit. Traffic unit chief Ibrahim Can was appointed as chief of the personnel unit, while communication unit chief Nihat Urganci was appointed as chief of the cyber crimes unit.
Cyber crimes unit chief Ali Zeytin was removed from his post and reassigned as regional traffic unit chief. In addition, a number of police officers were also removed and reassigned in departments where their chiefs were reshuffled.
Earlier, Diyarbakir police chief Recep Guven was removed from his post and replaced with Aksaray police chief Halis Bogurcu.
In Mersin, authorities purged nearly 100 police officials, most of them officers, in a new wave of personnel change.
100 police officers and commissioners from public security and security units were reappointed to other departments. On Friday, authorities reassigned 50 personnel from intelligence unit to other departments. Earlier this month, authorities removed five deputy police chiefs and 15 police chiefs in Mersin.

They wont be puting lenovo skins on moto phones, since most of you are clueless, lenovo spokeman stated long time ago they bought moto to enter USA market, they will leave moto do as they want but Lenovo will only help them profit. They know puting lenovo logos and skins on moto phones will fail in USA market where Lenovo doesnt have a name like moto does.

I love how you speak for the corporations as if they think logically.
Now, I do hope you are correct, but let's actually be honest here for a second. Neither one of us, or probably anyone on here know what they will end up doing. Or maybe I forgot that when a spokesman (not spokeman) says something that it must be 100% true. Want some Kool-Aid? It's yummy.
Spouting off your hopes and assumptions as fact make you clueless.

Yes cause Lenovo will do crap with it. They took thinkpad that was failing hard and made it one of the best laptops to own right now. Lenovo will do much better job than google did since Lenovo will make them sell and profit and not just hold them for their patents.

I don't know enough about them to get excited. though the general public opinion of them is positive. Still, I would have liked for Google to put effort into Motorola to ensure their success. Oh well.

I doubt thats in their future plans, to make motorola profit again and do well it has to move all its production to cheap production lines of Asia and Latin America. Thats the reallity..
33. Zero0 (Posts: 592; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
We're talking about a customizable phone, and that's going to matter heavily. They can't just mass-produce this phone and ship them to warehouses in the States. At least some of the process will have to be done in the USA, otherwise shipping delays would get nasty.
13. bossmt_2 (Posts: 457; Member since: 13 Oct 2009)
Lenovo would be one of few companies who would consider that. My guess is they'll have 2 facilities, one in the US for handling North America and maybe South America, and one in China to handle the rest of the world. Lenovo is one of the companies who sees the value of bringing assembly to the US. Infact I think something similar to what I described will be done by Apple in the not too distant future.

In fact, as of right now, the Moto X that is sold here in Mexico comes from China and there are only black and white versions, with the latter being a bit hard to find.

Aluminum or carbon fiber backings would sell me in an instant if all of the good things about the Moto X carry over.
14. Scott93274 (Posts: 5426; Member since: 06 Aug 2013)
I'm giving my Moto X to my step daughter and getting the X+1... Assuming it stays true to what made the Moto X so unique and further expands on that. I suspect that Motorola will also style the X+1 similar to how the Moto 360 looks, and will start selling them around the same time, using each device to promote/push sales of the other.

You can be sure that Motorola will increase the specs for the next model. That being said, I think you don't understand what Motorola is doing with its Moto series. They're deliberately releasing phones without the highest performing most recently released hardware. They're releasing energy efficient, long lasting phones with custom designed chips that provide a silky smooth user experience, at costs that are considerably more affordable than flagship phones from the likes of LG, HTC, and Samsung. I promise you that the user experience on the Moto X is just as good, if not better than flagship phones that were released this past year. The custom features of the Moto X are significantly more useful than any other phone on the market, including the recently released Galaxy S5. In addition to this, they're also beating all other OEMs excluding Nexus devices in regards to OS updates.

"You're a real tough cookie…"
Dateline: Knock Knock
There are, behind all of us,
True story: I once had a semi-moron News Director lead me into the middle of the busy/filled newsroom I was working in, and then with a sweep of her hand say exactly this to me, "Any one of these reporters in here would love to have your job."
And then she yelled this: "All of you who want Don Barone's job, raise your hand."
Three hands shot up.
I've heard them.
True Story: From the book, Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN, this from Sportscenter Anchor, and friend, Jack Edwards on reporting the Olympic Park bombing, "We had a tremendous investigative producer who had an unimpeachable source, and we went on the air and said that Richard Jewell was no closer to the center of the FBI's "first circle" than any other suspect. We never varied from that even while everyone else was identifying Jewell. For me, that was Sportscenter's greatest moment because we were the only, and I do mean, only news agency not pegging Richard Jewell."
After we reported that on Sportscenter I sat alone in an ESPN editing room, in the dark, watching all the domestic, and some international news agencies, file reports naming Mr. Jewell as the main bombing suspect.
The news biz world was basically saying the opposite of what I just wrote.
And we broadcast.
I had just gotten off the phone with a shouting boss who, after a bunch of cursing, basically told me that if my information was wrong he would happily replace me "with any number of people who want your job and can do it better."
Yeah, I've heard them.
Some were soft.
Some were loud.
But all were after just one thing.
And once again I'm hearing footsteps, but,
this time they are not coming for me,
this time they're coming for,
the Elites.
"…that's okay, lets see how you do it…"
Knock, knock.
Here it goes, this year, 2014, we've got 14 "rookies" on the Elite tour. Not a record, in 2006 we had 20, in 2011 we had 15 (thank Ken Duke for this info, not me, thanks Ken) but you know what, anytime you through a Bakers Dozen plus 1 into the mix…you are going to stir up the pot some.
At the half turn point of this shindig, check this out, of the four tournaments in the books, TWO were won by the new guys: Brett Hite won tourney #1 on Lake Seminole and Jacob Powroznik won the last gig we had, tourney #4 on Toldedo Bend.
In the Angler of the Year race 3 of the top 10 guys are rookies, at least what we call rookies in the very broadest use of that word. They are rookies in the Elites but these dudes have been fishing Pro's for a while.
"Let's be honest about it db, I came here to beat KVD."
I'm sitting at one of those round banquet table things talking to new guy, Randall Tharp. Randall is sitting on my right, his wife Sara, is on my left. I've talked to Sara a bunch of times both in person and through all those social media things I'm supposed to do.
But this is my first honest to goodness talk with, interview of, Randall. To tell you the truth, Randall can rub some people the wrong way with his, lets say, exuberance of his fishing abilities.
I understand that.
But in truth, it doesn't bother me much, I've been around a whole bunch of professional athletes a lot more, A LOT more exuberant than Randall. I never got to interview, "The Greatest," Ali, but I've interviewed hundreds who told me how great they are/were.
I've never had any champion stand up and shout, "Hey world, I'm…average."
Whenever I heard footsteps coming my way, I just got, quiet. More fun to knock them off that way, they never hear it coming.
Randall, though, is not me. "I want to fish against the best and beat the best."
And yeah, he's got the chops to say stuff like that, I checked out his record fishing B.A.S.S., and totally ignored the rest of his professional life, but while on the waters fishing B.A.S.S. he's been in 32 tourneys, won 3 of them, has 14 top 10's, been in the money 25 times.
"db, I qualified 3 times to fish the Elite tour, but never did it. You know though, I started thinking, where would I be if I went the first time I was asked…"
I just sat there writing some notes down, fooling with the paper table cloth under the table, I wasn't going to say a thing, wanted to see exactly how Randall was going to finish that there sentence, I knew I could finish it for him, you too could probably do the same thing…but he never filled in the blank.
Tell you the truth, when I sat down with the guy, I didn't know what to expect, big head/big mouth, or, confidence, and I came away pleasantly surprised, sure the guy knows he's good, because he is good, very good, and let me tell you something, EVERYONE OUT HERE IS COCKY IN THEIR OWN WAY.
You have to be, stand quietly in the corner and you're going to be out the door pretty quick.
"I came here db, very simply, because I want to be the best, and to be the best you have to compete against the best, and beat them."
And frankly, that's not bragging, that's just a fact.
When Babe Ruth retired he was the all time leader in walks, got the pass to 1st base…2,056 times in his career. Most threw around him, the best though, the best threw heat.
"…put up your dukes…"
"It's a good feeling to compete against the best in the world, KVD, Skeet, Davis, you know the guys, it is a true test of my fishing ability. I want to fish against them, and I want to beat them." Jacob Powroznik
Davis is the Current Angler Of The Year leader, Mark Davis, and yeah, he's heard the footsteps but I'm not to sure he's worried about them…check out how he feels about it in this story by Dave Precht, VP of Publications at B.A.S.S.
I'm becoming a fan of this new dude on the tour, Jacob, even if I have no idea how to say his last name.
Some numbers: Has fished in 8 B.A.S.S. events, won 2 of them, finished in the top 10 4 times, been in the money in ALL of them. Made a check 4 out of 4 times so far this year.
"Winning at Toledo Bend, winning that Elite Tournament was an enormous relief, got the huge monkey off my back. I look at it this way, I have 1 in 108 chances to win the lottery, the Elite lottery, and last tournament I hit the lottery."
Here's why I like the guy, "db, dude, after I won I was driving down the road and it hit me, HIT ME, I just got a ticket to the Bassmaster Classic, I MADE THE CLASSIC."
And as he says that, I look into the window of his truck, and sitting there in the passenger's seat…the trophy from Toledo Bend, just made me smile as did this, "After I won I got 478 txt messages BEFORE I even got back to my truck."
I wasn't there when Jacob won his first Elite event, the 4th one he ever played in, but I guess some questioned why he didn't do handstands on the stage, but I think those looking for that confuse us with American Idol.
Jacob may be quiet and reserved but he isn't confused by any of this, "All the guys out here are top notch, they do everything right, there's no edge you can get against them, but, but you can out fish them."
"…let's get down to it…"
"Bring it on."
Let's be honest here, many of the guys on the tour are good, some great, but none, none has a bigger target on his back than the man with just three letters,
"Uh huh, yeah db, they are good, but bring it on."
The first few years I covered this sport I pretty much ignored KVD, figured the guy got enough pub, figured I would be dealing with a glamour boy who would only talk to me if he wanted something.
I was wrong.
Over the last few years Kevin, and I never call him KVD, and I have become good close friends. When I was in the hospital both Kevin and his wife Sherry txt'ed me often, called too, his mother and father, great friends as well, and I consider this friendship endearing, and an honor.
I have been around hundreds of the greatest athletes on the planet, some the best of all time, no doubt, but if I stand back and look at "Sports" in the unbiased eyes of a journalist, I put Kevin, and to almost the same degree, Skeet, in the Top 10 of the best competitors I've ever been around."
Competitor, NOT athlete, because to me competitor is a mixture of God-given talent and sportsmanship.
When I talked to Kevin about hearing footsteps he said sure, "…these guys are good, but we are 4 weeks in, lets see how things shake out at the end of this year, see how they shake out a couple years from now, a decade from now."
That's the talent part of the equation.
Here's the sportsmanship: "db, I think it is good for the sport to have new blood come in and push the guys who have been in it awhile, and I know frankly it is good for me to be pushed, you push me and all I'm going to do is get better, and that's good, good for me."
Most may never say it, but I think over the last couple of years the Elites may have been getting a little stagnate. A little to comfortable, and the worst thing in sports, for the athletes, for the fans, is comfortable.
The greatest thing in sport is when the underdog, the new guy…wins. When that happens, everything in the game is revitalized. The competitors, the fans, and the game itself.
After all, it is The Game, that matters. And the competition within, why we watch, why we suit up and join in.
Knock, Knock.
Both, the lifeblood of the game, the stuff of which makes the game better, the stuff of which makes the competitors, better.
Who knows how the rest of the year will play out, we may never hear another word from the crop of new guys, but I kind of doubt that. Either way, out here, out on the water, there is a new energy, a renewed sense of purpose, sense of drive, and even if the new guys tank there is still excitement in the air, and the game is better,
because of the footsteps.
Oh, BTW, the moron News Director who asked for the show of hands, she's a Banquet Manager somewhere in California…sitting on my mantle, three Emmys and the New York Festival World Medal for Investigative Journalism.
BTW2…Richard Jewell,
Footsteps, yeah…
…bring 'em on.
"…fire away."

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - A Volusia County school employee was arrested on allegations of having sex with a teenager.
Michael Jones, 32, a school auditorium manager at Seabreeze High School in Daytona Beach, was arrested on three counts of having sex with a teenager, according to court records.
Volusia County school officials told Local 6 that Jones was removed from campus on Friday, and is not allowed to return. Jones is on paid administrative leave until the school finishes their investigation. Jones had been with Seabreeze High for seven years.
"These are the people that we trust with our children -- to teach them right from wrong -- now they're doing the wrong things to them," said Chris Garrett, who lives a few blocks from the school.
Officials said they had suspicions of something going on at the school, which is why they contacted police.
According to the report, the victim told investigators she had sex with Jones more than 100 times, including in the school closets, a Winn Dixie parking lot, her parents' home and Jones' home, which is less than a thousand yards from the highs school.
The victim also told authorities she babysat for Jones' two children, and on one occasion, Jones and his wife came home to a sick child. According to the report, Jones' wife took the child to the hospital but Jones' stayed home and had sex with the victim on his couch.
The victim said she most recently had sex with Jones on Oct. 9, according to the report.
Local 6 spoke to a former student who described Jones as being a little "too friendly" with the girls.
Perry Shirzard, 19, graduated from Seabreeze High School last year and said the same thing.
"He's been known to be kind of creepy and hang out with young girls," Shirzard said.
Jones was arrested and booked into jail but later posted $75,000 bond and was released.

Designing Product Listing Pages on E-commerce Websites: an Examination of Presentation Mode and Information Format
Hong, Wei Yin
Thong, James Y.L.
Tam, Kar Yan
|Issue Date
|International Journal of Human-Computer Studies , v. 61, (4), October 2004, p. 481-503
|Web interface design is of enduring interest to researchers as online shopping on the Internet continues to grow. Prior research has shown that the design of product listing pages, where information on multiple products are displayed together to allow further exploration of any of them, has a great influence on the traffic and sales volume on a website. In this paper, we focus on two design features, presentation mode and information format, and examine their impact on users' interaction with websites. An experiment was conducted to compare text-only versus image-text presentation modes, based on the dual coding theory (DCT), and list versus array information formats, based on the proximity compatibility principle (PCP). In general, the findings support the application of the DCT and the PCP to the e-commerce domain. Specifically, the image-text presentation mode and the list information format were found to outperform the text-only presentation mode and the array information format respectively in terms of shorter information search time, better recall of brand names and product images, and more positive attitudes towards the screen design and using the website. Given the same information content, the spatial arrangement of products and the hierarchical placement of images can make a difference to users' online shopping performance and attitudes.

All hands on deck in this Dedham kitchen
By Jane Lawson
, The Daily Times Herald
John and Stacey Peter of Dedham have five girls: Kara, a 3rd grader, Kalee, a 5th grader, Kolbi, 1 year old, Kaci, in preschool, and Kendra, a 7th grader.
If you would like to share your family's favorite recipes, or know someone with western Iowa ties who we should feature in an upcoming article, please send an email to Jane Lawson at email@example.com describing recipes and the stories behind them. Also, if possible, include the recipes and a digital photo of the cook or baker and family members. We can also make arrangements to have photos mailed.
Monday, January 17, 2011
DEDHAM — Five happy and healthy daughters mean 10 helping hands in the kitchen. Stacey (Dailey) Peter and husband, John "JP", of Dedham, share kitchen duty and are lucky to have willing helpers on their hands.
Stacey, a 1993 Carroll High School graduate and administrator of Mallard View Inc., since 1995, and JP, a 1988 Kuemper Catholic High School graduate and driver/salesman for Auen Distributing, take turns cooking family meals, although Stacey admits JP cooks 75 percent of the time.
The Peter family enjoys using recipes that are easy and use common ingredients. Dinner needs to be relatively hassle-free since the three oldest girls are actively involved in sports.
Oldest, Kendra is in 7th grade, Kalee is in 5th grade, Kara is in 3rd grade, and Kaci is in preschool. All attend Kuemper Catholic School. The youngest of the five girls is Kolbi, who just turned 1. Kendra and Kalee both play basketball and Kara loves soccer. JP enjoys coaching the girls' sports teams.
Between school and sports, the family enjoys eating dinner together, although mealtime can vary with busy schedules.
The four oldest girls love to help their mom and dad prepare dinner. Seventh- grader Kendra even likes to start dinner on her own. Preschooler Kaci, loves going through the cupboards to find the right ingredients. She will ask cute questions, like, "What color is the bottle?" and "Mom, does it start with this letter?"
Stacey and JP appreciate all the help they can get. Their rule is, "If you help cook, you can rest after dinner, otherwise you are in charge of clean up." This definitely motivates the girls to assist with dinner preparation, while teaching them how to cook along the way.
The Peter girls love snacks and desserts, especially for their birthday parties. Stacey says she always has extra food on hand because even with five daughters of her own, there always seem to be extra children around!
Hamburger Soup
This is a "kid friendly" recipe from Stacey's late grandmother, Rita Tigges, of Willey. Her grandma passed away in 1991 and she was very special to Stacey. No matter what, her Grandma Tigges always made her feel important. When Stacey was a child, she and her grandma would read stories and make homemade play-doh. Her grandma was also great at cooking family dinners and this was a family favorite served on the weekends.
Stacey said she has never met anyone who does not like this soup and it's a definite favorite of all five Peter girls. It is good as leftovers and freezes well.
Recently, Stacey's 1-year-old daughter, Kolbi's had her first shot at eating solid foods. She loved it and even had second helpings.
1-1 1/2 lbs browned hamburger
1 diced onion
6-7 cups water
5 beef bouillon cubes
2 cans of cream of celery soup
1 cup of canned carrots (diced or sliced)
2 (6 oz) pkgs of frozen noodles
4-6 Tbsp of Worcesterhire sauce
Combine all ingredients except noodles. Bring to a boil, then add noodles. Bring to another boil and simmer for 8 minutes and serve. Freezes well.
Pizza Burgers
These sandwiches are an alternative to the usual sloppy Joes. If your kids like pizza, they will like these too. The meat freezes well for quick sandwiches on a busy school night in between activities.
1-1/2 lb hamburger
1 Tbsp garlic salt
1 diced onion
8 oz mozzarella cheese
4 oz. cheddar cheese
1 Tbsp oregano
1 can tomato soup
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Brown hamburger with onion and cool completely. Then add mozzarella, cheddar, oil, oregano, and tomato soup. Mix well and add to hamburger. Pile on an open faced bun. Broil 3 to 5 minutes and replace top of bun.
Ham and Turkey Stromboli
This recipe comes from the wife of Stacey's brother, Ben Dailey. Ben, wife Emily, and daughter, Alice, live in Loveland, Colorado. Stacey says Emily is an amazing cook. The Peter family served these Stromboli this year at Christmas.
1 loaf of frozen white bread dough
1/3 lb shaved deli turkey breast
1/3 lb shaved deli ham
sliced or shredded Swiss cheese
sliced or shredded sharp cheddar cheese
dried oregano
On a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray, thaw bread dough according to directions. Once dough is thawed and has risen, stretch to cover baking sheet. Begin by layering Swiss, then ham, then turkey, and top with cheddar. Sprinkle with oregano. Roll up dough to cover ingredients. Make sure the ends are tucked under and the seam is down on the baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap sprayed with nonstick cooking spray for about an hour. Dough will rise a bit more. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Zesty Cheese Dip
This is an easy dip perfect for Super Bowl Sunday to serve with most any kind of cracker.
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
2 8-oz packages of softened cream cheese
1 (1oz) pkg of Hidden Valley Ranch Dip mix
1/2 to 3/4 cup beer
chopped green onions for garnish
Additional shredded cheddar cheese for garnish
In a bowl, combine cheddar cheese, cream cheese and ranch dip mix. Gradually stir in beer until mixture reaches desired consistency. Transfer to serving bowl. Garnish with green onion and additional cheese. Serve with crackers.
Strawberry Cookie Dessert
Stacey's girls are big fans of this treat. It's especially good in the summertime when strawberries are in season. The recipe comes from Wendy Sapp, of Carroll, who has babysat for the Peter girls for 10 years. Stacey says Wendy makes the best treats!
1 tube sugar cookie dough
1 8-oz pkg cream cheese softened and mixed with 1 tsp sugar
1 container of strawberry glaze-sliced strawberries
1 tub of whipped topping (thawed)
Bake cookie dough as directed in a 9 x 13 pan. Cool. Spread softened cream cheese and sugar mixture over the cookie crust. Spread glaze on to cream cheese mixture. Top with sliced strawberries and spread whipped topping over strawberries.
Salted Nut Rolls
These bars are simple to make and a good treat to share with family and friends. They are perfect for "treat day" at work.
1 (12 oz) pkg of peanut butter chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup butter
1 (10 oz) pkg mini marshmallows
1 (16 oz) jar of salted peanuts
Melt peanut butter chips, sweetened condensed milk and butter in a pan until completely melted. Mix in marshmallows and stir until marshmallows are coated. Place half of the peanuts in the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 pan, then pour mixture on top and spread evenly. Sprinkle remaining peanuts on top. Let cool completely before cut. These bars freeze well.

Directed by Jonas Akerlund, the clip centers on the affair between a married beautiful magician played by Zhang and her assistant, who's portrayed by Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin.
Coldplay has unveiled the music video for their single "Magic". Shot in silent film style by Grammy-winning director Jonas Akerlund, the black-and-white clip stars "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" actress Zhang Ziyi.
She plays a beautiful magician who's married to Claude, an abusive and wicked man portrayed by Chris Martin. The newly-single frontman also plays Christophe, Cecile's assistant who's clearly in love with her.
At the end of the five-minute clip, Christophe manages to get rid of Cecile's husband using a magic trick that he's just learned.
"Magic" was first debuted during the band's performance at SXSW in early March. The track was later officially released as the first proper single off "Ghost Stories", Coldplay's upcoming album that's scheduled to hit the stores on May 19 through Parlophone/Atlantic Records.
The record, which has also been preceded by a track called "Midnight", marks Coldplay's sixth studio effort. It comes as the follow-up to their 2011 Grammy Award-nominated album "Mylo Xyloto".

I think team confidence/chemistry are underrated and getting into the playoffs would do great for those aspects and especially for the following year when PG comes back. But, what are our options for now?

Rosslyn Park maintained the pressure on the National League One leaders with a convincing seven-try win over struggling Macclesfield.
Steve Parsons (two), Hugo Ellis, Paul Mackey, Luke Campbell, Harry Rowland and David Vincent got the tries, while Sam Katz kicked 11 points, for a 46-10 scoreline.
The early stages were all belonged to Park, although good runs by Parsons and Charles Broughton came to nothing, and a terrific run from full-back Nev Edwards ended with his side penalised for not releasing.
Enjoying a penalty advantage, an audacious long kick to the right wing for Broughton to run onto nearly came off, but play was brought back for fly half Katz to kick Park into a 3-0 lead on 10 minutes.
If Macclesfield did not look like breaching Park's solid defence, they were certainly good enough to spoil Park's own early efforts, but were undone by a superb move.
Edwards flung a wide pass to winger Vincent inside his own 22, for him to fly up his wing and, when he was stopped, there was Edwards in support.
He was stopped almost on the line but the powerful Ellis could not be prevented from getting over for an unconverted score.
Ellis briefly turned villain when blatantly offside in his own 22, but the visitors turned down an almost certain three points to kick to the corner, and they simply could not find a way through.
When Park broke out, a tackle - the clumsiness of which probably made it look worse than it was - saw visiting flanker David Marwick sent to the bin.
The penalty was kicked to touch for a line-out inside the 22, and as the ball was worked across the field, centre Mackey came onto it, sold a dummy and went over for 15-0 after Katz had added the conversion.
From the kick off, the visitors enjoyed their best period of pressure, camped inside the Park 22 for fully five minutes.
Twice more they spurned kickable penalties to gain attacking line-outs, but they simply could not crack a superbly drilled defence.
Eventually Edwards broke out for Park, and only a penalty for 'not releasing' prevented a likely score.
The second half was barely a minute old when Edwards put in a superb run up the wing from deep in his own half, found Vincent in support and, while the defence managed to stop the winger just short of the line, tireless flanker Campbell was on the spot to get over for a try that his efforts richly deserved.
Campbell followed up with a powerful sprint through the middle, eventually finding centre Parsons in support at a distance from which he is simply unstoppable to register the bonus point try - another Katz conversion made it 27-0.
Park's tails were well and truly up, and a super run by Broughton went right to the heart of the Macclesfield defence. They weathered that storm, but when lock Richard Boyle powered through to pass on to skipper Rowland they had no answer, Katz's conversion taking the score to 34-0.
The visitors never gave up, and few begrudged them the try when a scrum near the Park line saw replacement George Baxter skip round it to snipe a try for 34-5.
With less than 20 minutes to go, Park made multiple substitutions but it did not stop the wave of home attacks.
Callum Grant tried to announce his arrival at scrum half by darting and dummying his way over from close to the posts, but it led instead to Park being pinged for not releasing.
Steve Hamilton, in the unfamiliar role of full back, soon had his side back on the attack, making a run that set up Steve Parsons to go over for 39-5.
Macclesfield saw a glimmer of light when Park were reduced to 14 men after a high tackle by Boyle.
It became clear that it was not Macc's afternoon when almost straight away an attempted clearance kick thumped into a colleague and the ball looped back behind the kicker, where Vincent had just picked himself up – yards offside if his own player had kicked it – and found the ball in his hands with no one to beat. He went behind the posts to give Katz an easy conversion.
Macclesfield pluckily got up-field and centre Elliot Brierly got over for an unconverted try to the right of the posts for the final points of the day.
Park, lying fourth in the table – 11 points off leaders Ealing Trailfinders – go to Coventry this weekend in a re-arranged fixture.

Re: Creep
However, I think drift and creep are two different rod moves.
I agree that drift and creep are completely different moves. The defintion of creep is still up in the air as far as I know. To my way of thinking, Creep is unintentional rod rotation in the direction of the next cast (which shortens the available casting arc for the next stroke). Drift is rod rotation in the direction of the current cast which increases the available casting arc for the next stroke. They are complete opposites. I hope I didn't screw up a previous post with lousy wording.
I don't think drifting the rod tip backward always cures creep because I still think a caster can drift a rod back, stop the drift and then creep the rod tip forward before beginning the casting move.
That is certainly possible, given enough time, but there is no cure on the planet I'm aware of that will cure anything all of the time. So if someone is creeping, and you get him to start drifting back and extending his casting arc- he can't be creeping
he is drifting. So you've got him focused on the problem. You can also do as Jackster said and have him watch the position of his casting hand. Or you can stand behind him and shove your hand in front of the rod so he can't rotate it forward (presuming forward creep) until it's time for the forward cast.
In fact one does NOT have to actually move the rod hand backward to get backward drift of the rod tip.
Absolutely not! You are 100% correct. You can simply bend your wrist. In fact here is a video of Jerry Siem doing just that
creeping and regaining most of, if not all of, the lost available casting arc. He is drifting while he is moving his rod hand FOREWARD in fact. However, I would not advocate this as a teaching method to counteract creep.
YouTube - Jerry Siem Casting at the Denver Show
And here is another of Steve Rajeff doing a very quick drift while winning another US Distance Championship, to regain lost casting arc due to rebound after RSP2.
Rod Straight Position 1
, is when the rod becomes straight again after the stop while unloading, then it Counterflexes,bending toward the ground , stops in the bent down position, then rebounds through RSP2. .
He may not be actually moving his hand forward as he drifts, but it is very close. I would not advocate this as a teaching method either - effective though it is for Steve Rajeff. The turnaround timing is absolutely critical, and you'll notice that he is watching his backcast like an osprey watches mullet.
YouTube - Steve Rajeff casting at the Denver show
I haven't read Al Kyte's article you linked to in quite a while, but will read it again when I get a chance. As I recall, it wasn't about teaching methods, just about drifting and it's effects on a cast.
If you have some suggestions on the best cure for creep, I'm all ears as I'm sure everyone else is. We're all here to learn, and tell fishing tales (and just bullshit).

The acclaimed social psychologist offers an insider's look at his research and groundbreaking findings on stereotypes and identity.
Claude M. Steele, who has been called "one of the few great social psychologists," offers a vivid first-person account of the research that supports his groundbreaking conclusions on stereotypes and identity. He sheds new light on American social phenomena from racial and gender gaps in test scores to the belief in the superior athletic prowess of black men, and lays out a plan for mitigating these "stereotype threats" and reshaping American identities.
©2010 Claude M. Steele (P)2013 Audible, Inc.
I'm a sophomore psychology major, doing undergraduate research on stereotype threat and this book really helped introduce the topic to me!
"A must-read about the roll of stereotypes"
I read this book, hoping to find suggestions and scientific results about the role of stereotypes in our society (in the US), and this book was a great place to start. The author doesn't just voice his opinion, but describes and gives results from painstakingly planned-out experiments that separate out how different groups of people do better and worse in academics, due to often subtle environmental cues that severely affect that performance.
Although I found listening to detailed scientific experiments a little heavy at times, it is so important to read and understand the conclusions that Steele found. As a parent of a girl, navigating her way through science and math, and an African American boy, navigating his way through academics in general, I am so glad I found this important book and educated myself on the effects of stereotypes on all of us.
I was impressed that the author didn't just discuss the effects of stereotypes on people of color, but also discussed testing on the effects of gender on female students' math performance, and why they might struggle in math classes when they are very intelligent and successful in non-math subjects.
Highly recommended. If the experiments weigh you down in listening, at least fast forward to the results so you can learn what they ultimately found.
"Interesting topic, hate the narrator's voice"
Topic is interesting but writing is pedantic and the narrator has the most irritating voice in memory. I had to stop listening to the book because of it. Particularly the way he says "experiment" which is repeated over and over again.
Absolutely not
No too pedantic
"One of my recent favorites"
Some books in this genre are not easily adapted to the audio format because of the need to look at charts/graphs or other visual information, but this book works well as an audio book!
This book is incredibly well–written and compelling. The author effectively communicates his ideas/the results of his research (macro) by providing explanations at the individual (micro) level.
"Great narration, great book"
An interesting and important discussion for everyone! Well written, accessible (even as an audiobook!!!) and the narrator had a beautiful, expressive and appropriate voice. Recommended!
"An excellent primer on an important body of resear"
Illuminates racial relations
Whistling Vivaldi is similar to other excellent psychology books written for the lay audience, such as Dan Gilbert's Stumbling on Happiness or Roy Baumeister's Willpower, in that it conveys a complex and important program of research in way that is engaging and accessible to a lay audience.
The reader does an excellent job, but in general I don't find that a reader can transform the experience of nonfiction in the same way as fiction.
Everyone's behavior is affected by stereotypes, both by those we ourselves hold about others and by the fear that others will see us through the lense of their own stereotypes.
Claude Steele's research on stereotype threat is groundbreaking, and I truly believe it's something everyone should be aware of. This book does an excellent job of explaining this body of work in a way that provides the reader with actionable information about their behavior.
"Understanding Effects of Stereotypes"
Steele brings together decades of evidence demonstrating the effects of stereotypes on learning and performance. Essential reading for educators.
"Loved it! "
I loved this book. I highly recommend this book to everyone, especially educators.
"great listen"
many examples in this book regarding how stereotypes effect us. I have a better understanding now through this book.
"Great book weak ending"
As I read the entire book I kept finding myself saying "OH WOW!" I really connected with this book but the ending left me wanting. I'm sure it's thru no fault of the author he fully delivers on the subject however after realizing how I'm affected by his findings I can't help but feel a need to know where do we go from here. Overall I would definitely recommend this book to everyone and already have to so many.
Heartbreaking reality about the Black population in the educational system in the US. Very interesting analysis of identity and belonging.

MC Lyte Biography
Lana Moorer, 11 October 1970, Queens, New York City, New York, USA, but raised in Brooklyn. The daughter of First Priority boss Nat Robinson, and sister to the Audio Two brothers, Lyte began her career in fine style with the 45 I Cram To Understand U (Sam), released when she was still a teenager. The story told of personal deceit in a relationship, the narrator unable to compete for her boyfriends attentions with his new mistress - crack. It was delivered with such force that it still has few peers in terms of adult, hardcore female rap. Lyte has gone on to underscore her patent scouring wit, often referring to the out of control egos of her male counterparts, with synthesizer and funk beats coalescing beneath. Her 1988 debut album additionally sampled Ray Charles, Helen Reddy and the Four Seasons. Her songs are populated by fully realised characters, though its an unfortunate truism that they often wind up dead (via AIDS, lung cancer, violence or drugs). Despite the contributions of Grand Puba to Eyes On This, there was a lack of lyrical progression which limited its appeal. Aint No Other included attacks on fellow rappers Roxanne Shanté (Steady F. King) and an answer record to Apaches Gangsta Bitch (Ruffneck, which would go gold when released on single). Rap legend KRS-One introduced the tracks in a pseudo ragga-style. Like Queen Latifah and others before her, Lyte founded her own management company, Dupe The Moon Productions, which also handles Isis and Brooklyn rappers Born In Hell. After an extended hiatus, Lyte returned in 1996 with the US Top 10 hit single Keep On, Keepin On, a collaboration with Xscape taken from the soundtrack of Sunset Park. The Diana Ross -sampling hit single Cold Rock A Party was fairly unreflective of the more mature style evident on Bad As I Wanna Be and its attendant remix album, Badder Than B-Fore. In 1998, Lyte celebrated a remarkable 10 years on the rap scene with Seven & Seven. It proved to be her final release for EastWest, with subsequent albums appearing on independent labels.

(CNSNews.com) - Wednesday's Senate rejection of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) drew mixed reaction in the House. Reaction was the strongest from House Democrats after the Senate handed President Clinton, according to one congressman, the most glaring setback for the United States since the Treaty of Versailles was defeated in 1920.
Representative Jim McDermott (D-WA) said the treaty's defeat was "a sad day for this country." He also called the treaty defeat a very important event, "The United States Senate said we don't care who tests or how much testing there's done in the world. It's a sad day in my view when the United States steps back from leadership in the world, the last time we voted down a treaty was the Treaty of Versailles. We didn't join the League of Nations and what happened? We had the Second World War."
Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-FL) said the Senate deserves thanks for "their correct and courageous vote to defeat the comprehensive test ban treaty. The President and the liberals did their very best to convince the American people to rely on an unverifiable treaty for security. The Chinese communists have stolen the technology they need to skirt this test ban. If they have the technology, there's no doubt that the rogue nuclear powers such as North Korea and Iraq will have it as well."
A better solution, according to Stearns, "lies in a strong national defense. We recently had successful tests of both strategic and theater systems. We need to move forward with enhanced testing and deployment. It's time to move beyond unverifiable treaties as the answer to our defense needs."
However, not all Democrats agreed with McDermott. Rep. James Traficant (D-OH) had a different perspective. He pointed to how China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Iran and North Korea all possess nuclear weapons. Traficant said it has gotten so bad that reports indicate that "McDonald's is developing the McNuke."
Traficant questioned what good is a nuclear test ban if "every crackpot in the world keeps building nuclear weapons." Traficant called on Congress to be careful on nuclear weapons issues because "America will abide by any nuclear test ban. But those crackpots around the world will not. You can build them, but don't shoot them, save that for the tooth fairy."
Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA), a member of the House International Relations committee called the Senate's rejection of the treaty, "reckless." McKinney also said the rejection, " denies US leadership in the fight against nuclear proliferation. We have no moral or legal ground to stand on should any rogue state like North Korea or Afghanistan decide to go nuclear."
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, NATO's new secretary-general expressed unhappiness with the Senate's treaty rejection. Lord Robertson told BBC radio in London Thursday he was "worried" about the rejection, saying it had a lot to do with politics and hoped "Americans would reconsider."
Robertson also told BBC, "we've got to persuade the American Congress that this is in the interest, not just of international security, but also of the United States, and I hope that we can that and this is not a permanent position."

Along with the wealth of information on how he goes about writing his books, a very personable Robin Yocum also gave the audience some practical steps to follow to help them get good ideas, which can be used for more than penning novels.
A good idea can be translated into almost every form of art, and Yocum said there are "a lot of them rolling around in our heads, and it it's all about finding the right one and capturing it when you get it."
Yocum wrote "The Essay," which was chosen as the One Book One Community selection for 2014. The program culminates in a visit from the author each year, who spends two days in the area. Yocum was the guest during a reception at Farm Girls Pub and Grub on East Main Street in downtown Alliance earlier on Thursday evening, and he presented a talk afterward at Firehouse Theater on East Market Street. Yocum will talk to students at schools in the area today and will also give a talk from 3:30 to 5 p.m. at Rodman Public Library.
Yocum said you've got to get ideas when they're fresh. When he goes out bicycling, for instance, he will bring a small tape recorder with him, because he said when he's outdoors clearing his mind, ideas will surface. And like a lot of artistic people, he also gets them while trying to sleep at night. He tried writing them down and then taping them, but since he was groggy he couldn't decipher his writing and his speech was blurry. So, now, he said he gets up and goes to his computer to type them out when ideas strike while he is in bed.
Yocum was born in Steubenville in 1955 and also grew up in eastern Ohio, in an area where coal mining and steel mills were prevalent at the time. His father worked in one of the mills, and encouraged him to do well in school and go to college so he wouldn't have to have as hard of a life while earning a living. Although Yocum really aspired to be a professional baseball player, he went to Bowling Green State University to earn a journalism degree with the hope of being a sports writer as a backup plan. He wound up on the crime beat at The Columbus Dispatch, where he worked for 12 years.
"After spending so much time recording what other people were accomplishing, some good and some bad, I wanted to write something that was uniquely mine," Yocum said. "My words. My imagination. My story."
He wrote two nonfiction books while he was working at the newspaper, and then decided to try his hand at fiction writing, mainly because he didn't like the ideas people were bringing to him about nonfiction books they wanted him to write. He said the first couple fiction titles he wrote were "horrible," and one he is currently rewriting now because he still thinks it is based on a good idea. He said he believes his later books, such as "The Essay" and "Favorite Sons," sold because he took more time to go back over them and make changes, which he didn't do in the beginning. "I don't want to have to read a chapter of one of my books from the shelf in a bookstore and say to myself, 'I know what I should have said,'" Yocum admitted. He said he likes to get the ideas down first, without a care about spelling and grammar, and since he writes in first person, he tries to see everything from that character's point of view. Then, he likes to go back and read it from more of a distance. He also goes through each sentence then, and each paragraph, and asks himself if that's the best way he can express this or that.
He starts each book with one idea. One premise. And then he builds on that. Sometimes his plot and characters change a bit, but he said he has to know ahead of time what he is writing about and how it will end. Only then does he feel he can write a road map of how to get there. "I become my character," he said.
While he still cannot spend all of his time writing, for want of creating other income throughout the year it usually takes to write each book, he said he is thrilled with the fact that he is able to write that unique something, from his own experiences, with plots and characters he dreams up in his own mind.
"I focus a lot on the dialog. If I tell you someone is tall, or has dark hair, everyone will imagine the person in a different way. But the dialog is so critical because it is something that is shared," said Yocum.
Some of his characters stem from people he has known, and ideas for his "premise" have come from stories his grandmother used to tell, to what life was like in the small Ohio mining and steel mill towns when he grew up, or what kinds of things struck him while sitting across a table from a murderer during a news interview. He doesn't believe in writer's block and works hard to get a little done on a book he is writing every day.
"I do this, and it gives me a chance to write something that is uniquely mine. And I'm sure a lot of my old teachers are sitting there scratching their heads and saying this can't be the same Robin Yocum," he joked.
