In a joint raid, police picked up five persons involved in a satta racket, for links with Mumbai bookies. The raids were conducted in the city and its adjoining districts on Wednesday night. A substantial amount of money, fixed phones and cellphones were seized from the five. The raids also yielded documents with details of their operations.
The nightlong raids were held in central Calcutta, Shibpur and Usti, in South 24-Parganas. However, the kingpin of the gang, identified as Mustafa, and his lieutenant, Badal, gave the cops the slip.
A tip-off took the police to a house in Guru Nanak Lane, in Howrahs Shibpur. There, they picked up Anil Shaw and Mohan Shaw. From them, we got information about three others Narendra Agarwal, alias Chottu, Ashok Agarwal and Ratan Agarwal. We traced their cellphone numbers from the ones we got from Anil and Mohan. They told us the trio was holed up in a central Calcutta house, said Salil Bhattacharya, inspector in charge of Shibpur police station.
The team, consisting of policemen from the city, Howrah and South 24 Parganas, then headed for Mechhua, in central Calcutta. There, it picked up Ratan and Ashok. Narendra was missing. During interrogation, the duo told us he was at the gangs Bengal headquarter at Usti, Bhattacharya added. Immediately, we set off for Jangalpur village, in Shirakal, in the Usti police station area. We stormed Mustafas house and arrested Ratan from there.
Police sources said Mustafas brothers, Abdulla and Ansari, would control the groups activities over telephone from Mumbai. Primary investigations revealed that there are several centres apart from the ones raided. They have hubs in Behala, Thakurpukur and Mahestala, as well. We are on the look-out for Mustafa and Badal, he said.
The city police have already contacted their Maharashtra counterparts and a team has left for Mumbai to net the others.

Iraq War Offers Lessons on Victory, Defeat
Americans must decide what the lessons of the Iraq war will be. Christopher Fettweis, assistant professor of national security affairs at the U.S. Naval War College, offered that assessment in a recent essay discussing the consequences of defeat in war.
JOHN YDSTIE, Host:
The Los Angeles Times published an opinion piece this week titled "Post Traumatic Iraq Syndrome." It's subtitle: "The War is lost. Americans should begin to deal with that means." The author is Christopher Fettweis. He's an assistant professor of National Security Affairs at the U.S. Naval War College. But the views in the article are his own. He joins us from member station WRNI in Providence, Rhode Island. Welcome to the program, sir.
Mr. CHRISTOPHER FETTWEIS (Assistant Professor, U.S. Naval War College): Thank you for having me here, sir.
YDSTIE: First of all, what makes you so sure that the war is lost?
Mr. FETTWEISS: Well, I take no pleasure in this. But I looked back through history and noticed that it's very difficult for any democracy to sustain a war once its people has turned against it. And we see it - we saw it in 2006. We're likely to see it again in 2008 that politicians are going to be able to win elections on the basis of withdrawing or drawing down our troop levels. It doesn't appear to be that the United States is going to be able to sustain this war for much longer. I don't know of any example of a modern democracy that changed its mind once it had turned against the war.
YDSTIE: How do you define lost in this context? I mean, certainly, the US military could continue to fight. So what does losing in Iraq mean?
Mr. FETTWEISS: I think it's a great question. And that's an important point because I don't think it's particularly appropriate to actually use the terms winning and losing or think of it as if it were a cribbage match or a football game. The war is likely to be a lot more gray than we're comfortable with.
But in the final analysis, that doesn't matter because that's how people interpret war. And it's going to be difficult to avoid the impression that the United States has, in fact, lost this because we've set it up somehow for some reason that the only way we can win is if we leave Iraq with a functioning, flourishing Jeffersonian democracy where everyone's happy, and terrorism diminishes and everything is great in the Middle East. That's going to be tough to achieve.
YDSTIE: I believe you said in your op-ed piece that there is a danger that Iraq could turn out something like Lebanon or maybe pre-war Afghanistan where certainly al-Qaida flourished, and in the chaos of Iraq could an al-Qaida flourish there as well?
Mr. FETTWEIS: But when we look and think about disasters, we also often think back to Vietnam immediately, which was a great moral disaster. But it was basically strategically irrelevant. No bad string of dominoes followed the loss in Vietnam that we all feared. Iraq may be different - it's possible that it could - the region could descend into more violence. I don't think it's particularly likely but it is possible it could turn out to be greatest disaster we've ever seen in foreign policy.
YDSTIE: You suggested that Vietnam was a worse moral failure. Explain that.
Mr. FETTWEIS: There's a lot more bloodshed in Vietnam. Sixty thousand Americans, give or take, died and somewhere between one and two million Vietnamese. Seventy-five thousand people have died on both sides of the Iraq war. So the Vietnam War was a much greater moral debacle.
YDSTIE: What is the political blowback for this if, as you predict, the U.S. leaves this war and it's considered a loss?
Mr. FETTWEIS: As much as we like to see the underdog win, the Hooser story of the little school beating the big behemoth, it's really tough to take if you're on the side of the behemoth.
In ways, society and individuals deal with defeat lots of times is to explain it. We have to make sure we know why we were defeated and who is at fault in order to learn lessons from this and move on and assure ourselves that it won't ever happen again. And assure ourselves that it wasn't us that lost; it was these other people.
We have scapegoats either in the media, or on campuses, or the Iraqis themselves, or the generals or the neo-cons. There'll be fingers pointed in many different directions. But the central lesson of this war, in my view, should be not how it was fought but that it was fought at all was decisive.
YDSTIE: Christopher Fettweis teaches national security decision making at the U.S. Naval War College. He joined us from member station WRNI in Providence, Rhode Island. Thanks very much.
Mr. FETTWEIS: Thank you very much.

We also have prestigious emeritus and honorary staff members who contribute to our research.
We are a large group of applied mathematicians who study the Sun and the Earth's magnetosphere using mathematical modelling techniques. Observational data from satellites (e.g., SDO, Hinode, and Cluster) and from ground based observatories (e.g., Kitt Peak, Big Bear and EISCAT) are used to constrain our models and improve the validity of our results. We also have close collaborations with the solar groups at Glasgow and Dundee.

Pericarditis is inflammation of the sac that surrounds and protects
the heart (pericardium). Pericarditis can cause an abnormal buildup of fluid
between the pericardium and the heart (pericardial effusion).
Pericarditis often improves without causing any damage to the
heart. But if pericarditis causes excess fluid to build up quickly,
pressure on the heart increases (cardiac tamponade), and the heart may
The most common cause of pericarditis is infection with a virus.
Other causes include bacterial infection, heart attack, chest injury, and medicine side effects.
Symptoms of pericarditis include:
Treatment for pericarditis may include medicines to reduce
inflammation and relieve pain and antibiotics if the cause is a bacterial
infection. If there is any fluid buildup, it may be drained.

Christopher Cushman
Capturing the human form in flight
If you've seen the posters, brochures and programmes from many of the dance performances in and around Toronto over the last few years, then you've probably already seen the work of photographer Christopher Cushman.With an eye finely tuned to the nuances of choreography, his images capture the combination of athleticism, artistry and emotion that is dance.
Born and raised in Detroit, MI, Christopher graduated from Ferris State University with a degree in illustration and design. His bent for visual arts led him to start experimenting with photography. "It was probably right after school," he says, "in the early '80's." He remembers an uncle who first introduced him to the dark room and its techniques. Not long after he left school, however, changing technologies along with people's expectations provided the impetus to use photography in a more deliberate way.
"I used to paint portraits - you remember in the old days, people would sit there for a couple of hours at a time, five or six times," he laughs. "People didn't want to do that anymore! I began to take pictures and work from them." As he did, however, he found this interest in the process deepening in more ways than one. "It was a little bit of instant gratification for me," he admits.
A lifelong collector of art and photography books, he was further inspired by seeing an image of Robert Mapplethorpe's to pursue figure studies. "It hadn't crossed my mind to do anything like that," he says. His early work explores artistic fashion and portraiture, and in particular the male figure in both natural and architectural settings.
Of special note is a series of images taken in the famously derelict 15th Street Train station in Detroit which juxtaposed perfect bodies against the crumbling infrastructure. "I actually got to it before it was completely gone," he reports. It's an early example of the kind of "urban decay" photography that Detroit is now quite famous for. Word of his gift for figure photography spread quickly. "To be honest, it became a kind of cottage industry. I've never had to advertise - people came to me."
From figure to dance seems like an easy step to make. "I've always been a big fan of dance," he says. Yet, it was a bit of happenstance that led to his taking up the genre. He credits a former roommate's request to invite another friend, a road weary professional dancer, to stay with them for a weekend with being his direct link to dance. From that point on, he began to meet more professional dancers and watched many performances. Picking up the camera came as a matter of course. "I was hooked from the get go," he admits.
Still, it's a fairly specialized field, and even with the initial enthusiasm, it remained an infrequent sideline until he came to Toronto and met dancer/choreographer Kevin A. Ormsby in 2006. Through him, he had connections to the city's Kashedance and Ballet Creole companies, and finally steady outlets for his work. He also mentions David Hou, a photographer who was working with Ballet Creole at the time for giving him useful practical and technical advice. Today, he's a regular photographer with both companies, as well as others based in Toronto.
His practice is to attend rehearsals and famliarize himself with the choreography. "There are specific moments where, if you haven't captured them, you may as well have not bothered to show up." It means he's able to pull out separate moments, adding to the dramatic effect. He's shot Ballet Creole's Soulful Messiah, for example, five times. "I know every nuance of the piece." The images reflect that knowledge.
All of his work, from the earliest portraits to today's images of dance, is marked by a concern with drama and artistic composition, something he traces back to his studies in design. From the past to the present and into the future, he's enthusiastic about taking his skills to ever higher levels. "It's an ever evolving thing, photography," Christopher says.

Which night sights are best
I want to get night sights for my newly purchased XD-40 Subcompact. Who makes the best without having to pay an arm & a leg???
I really like Tru-Glo TFO's as they have fiber optics for daytime and tritium for night. They run about $115 at Midway. Be aware that the sights on XD's are impossible to remove without professional equipment so a gunsmith will have to do the removal and install.
BTW, welcome to SM status...
Thanks, NGIB! I love this forum! Learning alot!!
I love this forum! Learning alot!!
Let me echo NGIB on taking it to a gunsmith. I know a guy who bent a near new sight press trying to change the sights on an XD.
I've also heard that I can send the sights & slide off to Springfield and they can install for a turnaround of about $70.
Springer has a great service department. Never used them myself but I know of many that have...
The gunsmith at our local shop here, won't touch the sites on XD or XDm. He'll tell you to just send it to Springfield.
What I was told is that the sight pushers for the XD are about $600, so no gun shops want to buy one of those because they would have to push A LOT of sights to pay for it.

Coolsculpting or Brachio plasty? Maybe lipo? (Photos)
Doctor Answers 14
Options for your arms
Good afternoon,
Coolsculpting and liposuction are great options to reduce stubborn bulges of fat, but will not be as effective targeting loose skin.
Based on your photos that you submitted you would benefit more from a brachioplasty, which is a technique to remove loose sagging skin.
Ultimately the procedure that you decide to proceed with is up to you depending on what your greatest concern is.

Cool sculpting or brachioplasty?
- Your photo suggests that the problem is loose skin as well as excess fat.
- Cool sculpting cannot correct this - I believe you are wasting your money if you have more.
- Brachioplasty is expensive - but it is the better option.
- I suggest you have a consultation with a plastic surgeon, save the money and discuss the kind of work you do and how much time you need to take off to heal.
- Always see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
You should visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons expert in body contouring procedures like brachioplasty. Based on your photos, liposuction and an arm lift will give you the best result. Assuming you don't have a strenuous or physical job, you'd be back to work in a week.
Best of luck!

Brachioplasty vs Liposuction
Liposuction would remove the fat but will leave you with more loose skin. The skin tone in that area is never that good and you would not be happy with the results.
Brachioplasty is your best option, and will give the best results. I would suggest not wasting your money on coolsculpting or liposuction because they will not provide the results that you would be happy with. Save up and have the correct procedure performed and have it done at a time where you can take 1-2 weeks off of work.
Good luck.

Behavioral genetics and taste
The chemical senses: recent advances and new promises
This review focuses on behavioral genetic studies of sweet, umami, bitter and salt taste responses in mammals. Studies involving mouse inbred strain comparisons and genetic analyses, and their impact on elucidation of taste receptors and transduction mechanisms are discussed. Finally, the effect of genetic variation in taste responsiveness on complex traits such as drug intake is considered. Recent advances in development of genomic resources make behavioral genetics a powerful approach for understanding mechanisms of taste.
The chemical senses, gustation and olfaction, have provided a candidate media for investigation of the effects of major genes on behavior, owing to considerable natural variation for both senses among individuals or strains of mice and rats. Genetic analysis of behavioural responses to bitter and sweet taste stimuli in mice facilitated the recent discovery of receptor gene families for bitter, sweet and amino acid taste (for recent reviews, see
Taste, beyond its purely sensory function, is also inextricably linked to a larger set of behaviors. The gustatory system is anatomically located at the beginning of the alimentary canal, and as such is a key player in homeostatic systems dealing with nutrient and fluid intake. Taste and feeding are linked in terms of reciprocal connectivity between brain centers (e.g.
Although studies of non-mammalian organisms such as fruit flies hold tremendous potential for elucidating genetic basis of taste behavior and physiology
Measuring taste behavior
Taste perception involves several aspects, such as intensity, quality and hedonic value of the taste sensation. In humans, these aspects of taste perception are usually assessed using verbal information, e.g., by plotting sensation intensity on a scale with verbal descriptors or by reporting a difference between samples. Early studies of human genetic variation of taste sensitivity concentrated on either responses to a single concentration of stimulus (i.e., tasters vs. non-tasters of phenylthiocarbamide (PTC)) or measurement of absolute thresholds
Assessment of taste perception in non-human animals relies on recording of behavior elicited by taste stimuli using a number of different techniques

+, test is primarily designed to assess a particular aspect of taste perception (e.g., intensity or quality); +/-, limited information regarding the aspect of taste perception can be derived from test results; -, test is not informative regarding the aspect of taste perception. a Response thresholds of naive (not conditioned) animals are often higher that taste recognition thresholds in conditioned animals. b Taste quality can be assessed using analysis of single-fiber activity, but not using integrated whole-nerve recordings. All types of tests have been used in genetic experiments, but two-bottle preference tests have the highest throughput of phenotyping.
Traditionally, behavior genetic studies of taste in the mouse have been conducted using two-bottle intake tests, e.g.
Other tests of taste function in the mouse include measurements of threshold detection or the ability to discriminate between two stimuli
Finally, electrophysiological recordings of activity in the afferent gustatory nerves often corroborate behavioral taste tests in non-human animals. The major gustatory nerves are the chorda tympani (CT) branch of the facial (VII) nerve and the glossopharyngeal (IX) nerve. The CT predominantly innervates taste buds on the anterior tongue, whereas the IXth nerve innervates taste buds contained in trenches on the posterior tongue. Studies of gustatory nerve activity help to elucidate whether genetic effects on taste perception have peripheral or central origin.
Genetic analysis of taste behavior
In genetic terms, the taste response of an individual represents a phenotype, i.e., an observable property of an organism produced by genetic and environmental factors. A typical goal of genetic studies is to characterize the genetic factors contributing to the phenotype. This is usually achieved by analyzing populations of related individuals, such as twins or families in humans, or crosses between inbred strains of mice or rats. An initial goal of the genetic analysis is to establish whether the phenotypical variation among individuals has a genetic component (i.e., is heritable). Once heritability is confirmed, chromosomal localization of genes responsible for the heritable component of the phenotype can be found using linkage analysis. The linkage analysis involves assessment of association between genetic markers distributed throughout the genome and the phenotype. Some linkage studies in rodents use recombinant inbred strains, which are produced by intercrossing two parental inbred strains, obtaining the second generation of hybrids (F2), and subsequent inbreeding (brother × sister mating) of multiple strains. After a genetic locus affecting a phenotype is mapped to a particular chromosome (Chr), subsequent studies can identify the molecular nature of the corresponding gene. Because gene identification is based primarily on the chromosomal position of the gene, this approach is called positional cloning.
Sweet and umami taste
Genetic variation in sweet taste responsiveness
Taste sensitivity to sweeteners varies among individual humans, and this variation may be determined genetically
A few mouse strains with large differences in sweet taste responses were used to produce crosses for analyses of genetic and physiological mechanisms underlying behavioral responses to sweeteners. The most detailed physiological analysis was conducted using mice from the C57BL/6 (B6) strain with high sweetener preferences and mice from the 129 strains with low sweetener preferences. Compared with 129 mice, B6 mice had higher preferences for a large number of sweeteners, including sugars (sucrose and maltose), sweet-tasting amino acids (glycine, D-phenylalanine, D-tryptophan, L-proline and L-glutamine), and several but not all non-caloric sweeteners (saccharin, acesulfame, dulcin, sucralose and SC-45647)
Differences between B6 and 129 mice in preference for a sweet-tasting amino acid glycine
Some genetic analyses of sweetener consumption by mice yielded evidence that it is influenced by a single locus, named

Other genes involved in sweet taste responses
Multigenic inheritance of sweetener preferences was shown in a number of studies
Because a sweet taste receptor appears to be a heterodimer of T1R2 and T1R3 proteins, sequence variants of the
One of the genetic loci affecting sweet taste responses is
In summary, these data show that sweetener preference has a complex genetic determination. In addition to the
Umami taste genetics
Umami is a taste quality exemplified by taste of MSG and evoked also by some amino acids and purine 5'-nucleotides. There is a strong evidence that a heterodimer of T1R1 and T1R3 proteins functions as an umami taste receptor in humans and is a more broadly tuned in rodents to respond to L-amino acids (Table
Little is known about genetic variation in umami taste responses. Humans appear to differ in perception of glutamate taste
In the long-term two-bottle preference tests, mice from the B6 strain consumed more MSG and IMP than did mice from the 129 strain
The role of the afferent gustatory input in these strain differences was examined by measuring integrated responses of the CT and IX nerves to umami taste stimuli. In the CT, responses to MSG and monoammonium L-glutamate were similar in B6 and 129 mice, but responses to IMP and guanosine-5'-monophosphate were lower in B6 than in 129 mice. Responses to umami stimuli in the IX nerve did not differ between the B6 and 129 strains
The T1R3 protein is involved in transduction of both sweet and umami tastes, and a disruption of the
Bitter taste
Bitter taste receptor genes
A large and diverse array of molecules evoke the sensation of bitterness, and the ability to detect and avoid these stimuli is assumed to have evolved as a mechanism to prevent ingestion of toxic foods
The PTC polymorphism in humans and mice
The first example of a genetic basis to taste ability involved the serendipitous discovery of human differences in sensitivity to the bitter-tasting compound PTC
From the early discovery of human variation in PTC taste sensitivity, investigators proceeded to animal models of bitter taste genetics. Richter and Clisby

Preference ratios (mean ± SE) for BALB/cBy (BALB), C3HeB/Fe (C3), and BALB × C3 F1 (n = 10/strain) to 0.03 mM PTC over six consecutive 48-h tests. The dotted line represents a preference score of 0.5, which indicates equivalent consumption from solution and water tubes. Preference ratios for BALB and F1 mice decreased following the initial test period; by the final test period these mice were strongly avoiding PTC. C3 mice remained indifferent to the taste of PTC across the entire test period. Strain differences in "developed aversion" to PTC have a genetic basis, with complete dominance of the avoider phenotype. However, the avoidance phenotype does not necessarily reflect increased bitter taste sensitivity. Figure from Boughter (unpublished).
Sucrose octaacetate (SOA) and quinine aversions and bitter taste receptor genes
The genetic basis of differences in intake of bitter compounds other than PTC has been studied throughout the last several decades, including substantial contributions from the laboratories of Ian Lush and Glayde Whitney (see
Unlike responses to SOA, responses to quinine in two-bottle tests were demonstrated to be under polygenic control in segregating crosses or recombinant inbred strains

Evolution of the bitter taste receptor gene family
Prominent features of the bitter receptor gene family in vertebrates include a high rate of non-synonymous (i.e. resulting in amino acid change) substitutions, and a relatively conserved family size (~15 – 33 functional genes) with multiple orthologues among mammalian species
Salt taste
A prototypical salty taste stimulus is NaCl, but several other compounds (e.g., chlorides and other salts of Na, Li and K) also evoke salty taste. Sodium enters epithelial cells through the sodium-selective epithelial channel ENaC. ENaC is a member of the degenerin/ENaC superfamily of ion channels and is inhibited by a diuretic, amiloride. Taste receptor cells express amiloride-blockable, Na+-selective channels that share a number of physiological properties with the ENaCs (for review, see
Sodium is an important nutrient, and its consumption is under a strong homeostatic control
Salt consumption may be under genetic control in humans
Despite large strain variation in NaCl preferences, most studies found either small or no differences in integrated responses of the gustatory nerves to NaCl among strains of mice
In rodents, lingual application of amiloride suppresses the chorda tympani responses to NaCl
Rats typically prefer NaCl solutions of intermediate (osmotically hypotonic or isotonic) concentrations. However, rats from the Fisher 344 strain do not display NaCl preferences
Increased NaCl consumption by SHR (spontaneously hypertensive) rats does not depend on strain differences in peripheral gustatory input
Taste and other complex phenotypes
Taste perception involves hedonic processes and is an important factor affecting ingestive behavior. Therefore, genetic variation in taste preferences is likely to affect complex phenotypes that depend on oral consumption of nutrients or drugs, or involve pleasure-seeking behavior. There are several examples of association of taste and complex traits in humans, including relationship between sweet taste and obesity
The oral consumption of alcohol is accompanied by chemosensory perception of its flavor, which plays an important role in its acceptance and rejection. Three independent sensory systems – taste, olfaction and chemosensory irritation – are involved in the perception of alcohol flavor. Humans perceive alcohol as a combination of sweet and bitter tastes, odors and oral irritation (e.g., burning sensation), all of which vary as a function of concentration
Perception of the sweet taste component of ethanol by rodents was shown in behavioral and neurophysiological experiments. CTAs generalize between ethanol and sucrose
Positive correlations between preferences for ethanol and sweeteners in rats and mice were found among various strains and in segregating crosses
Genetic analysis of a cross between mice from a high ethanol- and sweetener-preferring B6 strain and a low ethanol- and sweetener-preferring 129 strain suggested that the strain differences in sweetener and ethanol consumption depend on relatively small and partially overlapping sets of genes
Behavioral genetic studies of taste responsiveness have been instrumental in the discovery of G-protein-coupled taste receptors. Genetic mapping of a human PTC/PROP taste sensitivity locus and mouse bitter and sweet taste loci have facilitated identification of the T1R and T2R families of taste receptors. The behavioral genetic approach has potential for more discoveries of taste mechanisms. There is strong evidence that multiple genes control behavioral taste responses. These yet unknown genes are likely to be involved in different stages of the taste processing pathway, including taste reception, transduction and transmission in the periphery and in the brain, and interaction of taste processing with homeostatic systems involved in the regulation of feeding, appetite, fluid balance, and reward. Genetics has experienced dramatic progress in recent years, with genome sequencing completed for several species, including mouse and human. These advances in genomic resources tremendously facilitate chromosomal mapping of genes affecting taste responsiveness and their identification. This turns behavioral genetics into a powerful approach for understanding mechanisms of taste.

April 1, 2013
You've got the Cowgirl Classic this weekend in Chandler, Ariz., a tournament you have done well at in the past. What is your outlook for the event this year?
I'm hitting the ball well and looking forward to taking advantage of the scoring opportunities that are out there. I feel very confident in how my team and I will perform there this year; we are definitely ready.
Being a two-time Academic All-MW recipient, school is important to you. What are your career plans in business administration after you earn a degree from UW in 2014?
I recently changed my degree to Finance, but I don't know exactly what I want to do. I'm strongly considering law school but I would also be very interested in a career in investing or financial analysis. As of now, I'm trying to keep my options as open as I can.
What is your favorite golf course you have played on? Which course would you like to play someday?
I'm not sure I have just one favorite course, but I really enjoyed the course we played in Hawaii my freshman year. It was right on the ocean so it was a pretty fun couple rounds of golf. I also really enjoyed the Babe golf course at the Folino Invitational; it was a challenging course that rewarded good shots. Someday I really want to play the Edgewood Golf Course at Lake Tahoe - it has a lot of big pines and is right on the lake. They have a big celebrity tournament there every year.
How are Coach Stender and Coach Readdy helping you develop your game?
Coach Readdy is helping me develop ways to effectively learn from both good and bad shots during a round and how to properly manage my focus during a long day of competition. Coach Stender is helping me keep my mechanics sharp and develop and manage effective game plans for tournament preparation on the course as well as off it with my mental approach.
What have you enjoyed so far about your time in Laramie? Where is the first place you like to go when you're back home in Federal Way, Wash.?
What is it about the game of golf that you enjoy most?
I love the competition, the memories I have with the game, that I get to meet new people every tournament, the time I get to spend outdoors, being with my team, and how it has taught me how to work hard. My favorite part, though, is that it's something I can do to spend time with my grandpa. It's pretty special.
When did you first start golfing? Is it something your parents Bruce and Margie introduced you to or something you started on your own?
My parents don't really play golf, but my grandpa taught me when I was six. He played golf for the University of Washington, so he was able to teach me a lot. When I was older I made a lot of great friends that played and had some great coaches that helped me continue to get better. But I still like going back to my grandpa for help - he's my biggest fan.
Outside of golf tournaments, practice and class/homework, what do you enjoy doing?
I love skiing as much as I can in the winter; it's the only thing I've been doing longer than golf. In the summer I like spending time doing anything outside in the mountains or in the water.
What is your all-time favorite book? Movie?
I read for class but honestly I'm not a big reader outside of that. I have a lot of favorite movies, though. I really like The Lion King, and then probably The Other Guys would have to be my favorite comedy. It's so funny!

As a parent, it is so important to keep your child's mind active. Any prolonged break in education could set them back a long time, time they will have to make up in the future. Obviously, no parent wants their child to lose the ability to digest information, which is why it is important to promote learning. The kids can still be kids and enjoy their life because they don't need to grow up anytime soon. Still, they do need to make sure their brains don't glaze over from all of the television and … [Read more...]

This Saturday, October 31 2009, Ayad Jamal Aldin MP and between 500-600
supporters, will launch a new political movement - Ahrar - to finally meet
the grassroots needs of all Iraqis - jobs, electricity and running water.
Described by world-renowned New York Times columnist Tom Friedman as
having 'the courage to tell it [the truth]' on Iraq, Ayad Jamal Aldin MP will
bring real change to Iraq. He will stand up to a corrupt government that is
more focused on its own self-interest than on the Iraqi people. Mr. Jamal
Aldin is receiving strong support from across the country - in all areas -
with strong financial backing from people of all walks of life.
He will say, "To those who now play the sectarian card - the card of
division and violence - I say that we are the sons and daughters of the same
nation, the same people and the same land." His message, and a powerful ad
campaign, will focus on demonstrating the hollowness of Maliki's claims to
have brought security and stability to Iraq.
Mr. Jamal Aldin is the only man who stood up to Maliki - and then
Allawi's coalition - because of their close ties to Iran, and their
collective failures to deliver a better life for Iraqis. He will comment
that, "Iraq has become a playground for interference from our neighbours,"
and that it is for the Iraqi people - nobody else - to decide their future in
He will launch a new grassroots campaign saying, "for people to die of
thirst in the 'Land of the Two Rivers' is nothing short of a catastrophe.
Iraqis deserve a better life. We are a rich country with a poor population,
and poverty knows no difference between a poor Christian, a poor Kurd or a
poor Shia... That is what makes your heart bleed, and that is what Ahrar will
Alongside nearly 50 new Sunni, Shia and Kurdish candidates, he will
launch a campaign for One, secular Iraq. Ahrar is open to all, and will
select its candidates by having Sunnis select Shia candidates, and Shias
select Sunnis and will encourage a significant portion to be women and young

Contest Winner - Pizza Hotdish
Recipe by mailbelle
This was my winning entry in the Annual Power Facts Recipe Contest sponsored by Alabama Power. I think it was in 2003.
Top Review by choco chip
I made this the first time for a potluck and it went so quickly that I didn't even get to taste it. So, I decided to hold off on my review until I could make it again for myself. I must say that I was pleased with the dish. While it's not the best pizza hotdish I've ever tried, it is quite good, and a little different than others I've had. It makes a lot, and I'll probably make it again.

The 2008 GMC Yukon is a true safety standout, with only one noteworthy blemish on its crash-test ratings. It also offers a wealth of safety features and impressive driver visibility.
Few vehicles on the road today can match the 2008 GMC Yukon when it comes to occupant protection during a crash, and none can exceed it, at least according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). After conducting its full battery of crash tests, the NHTSA awarded the GMC Yukon 2008 XL Denali a perfect five-star rating for all impact protections. That includes five-star ratings for GMC Yukon 2008 driver and passenger protection during front impacts, as well as five stars for occupant protection during impacts on either side. The only blemish on the GMC Yukon 2008 safety record comes in the rollover category, where the NHTSA gives the Yukon Denali XL only three out of a possible five stars. While this score is somewhat disappointing, it is rare for a full-size SUV to score well in the rollover category. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the other major crash-test authority in the United States, has not yet had a chance to try out the GMC Yukon 2008.
Aside from very high crash-test ratings, the 2008 GMC Yukon rates well in reviews read by TheCarConnection.com when it comes to safety features. ForbesAutos reviewers say that "stability control is standard" on the Yukon Denali, and it now "incorporates rollover mitigation technology that can deploy the vehicle's head-curtain airbags before a crash occurs." Cars.com further notes that the GMC Yukon 2008 rollover prevention system "senses when the vehicle is likely to tip, then triggers the stability system in an attempt to prevent it," and "to date, only Ford Motor Company's Roll Stability Control feature can sense that a rollover has begun and attempt to forestall it." Other standard safety features on the 2008 GMC Yukon Denali XL include "dual-stage front air bags" and "side-curtain airbags," along with "rear park assist" and "OnStar, GM's hands-free, in-vehicle communications assistance program," according to J.D. Power. ConsumerGuide also mentions that all 2008 GMC Yukon models come standard with an "antiskid system," a "tire-pressure monitor," and "daytime running lights."
One other characteristic of the 2008 GMC Yukon XL Denali that improves overall safety is its commendable driver visibility. As mentioned earlier, ForbesAutos reviewers are pleased to find that the "instrument panel is positioned lower for easier visibility, particularly for shorter drivers," and other reviewers mention the impressive visibility as well. Furthermore, for tight parking situations, the 2008 GMC Yukon XL Denali offers "rear park assist" as a standard feature; a "rearview camera" can be equipped as well, according to Edmunds.

Griffith Fights for Gun Rights
The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is very explicit: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." I stand by this Amendment; and I wholeheartedly support it. I recently introduced legislation (H.R. 4269), which would strengthen federal protections for law abiding Americans traveling with firearms.
In 1986, Congress passed the Firearms Owners' Protection Act (FOPA). This bill included protections for individuals transporting firearms between jurisdictions where they are legally allowed to have them. While most states comply with FOPA's "safe passage' provision, some states continue to harass and detain travelers who are abiding by federal law. For instance, the National Rifle Association cites some examples:
In 2004, the Port Authority Police Department (PAPD) arrested John Torraco at LaGuardia Airport for possession of a firearm. Torraco, an attorney and law professor, had stored his legally owned unloaded handgun in his checked luggage. However, when he declared the firearm to the counter agent (as required by federal law), he was arrested and charged with possession of an unlicensed handgun.
In 2005, William Winstanley, a New York state resident, was detained at JFK International Airport when he attempted to check a handgun in his luggage, again in compliance with the requirements of § 926A. Winstanley was not arrested, but his travel was delayed for several days while he proved that he was in compliance with federal law.
In 2007, Greg Revell, a Utah resident, was flying through Newark Liberty International Airport to his final destination in Pennsylvania. However, his flight into New Jersey was late, which caused him to miss his connecting flight. Revell was forced to collect his baggage and spend the night in a Newark hotel. When he attempted to recheck his baggage the following morning, he declared the unloaded handgun to the counter agent. PAPD officers arrested Revell for illegal possession of a handgun and ammunition under New Jersey law. Revell spent three days in jail before he was able to make bail.
My bipartisan bill -- endorsed by the NRA -- puts an end to these practices and makes it clear that the rights of American citizens can no longer be ignored. If you're legally transporting your firearm, stopping overnight, filling up at the gas station, or stopping for an emergency, you are protected. The legal burden of proving a violation now falls to the states, and provides for the possibility of compensation for those unlawfully prosecuted.
Griffith Stands for Liberty
Last week, the House of Representatives debated the National Defense Authorization Act, commonly referred to as NDAA. While there are many good provisions in this bill, there are also a few questionable ones. Under one interpretation, this bill would permit the U.S. military to detain American citizens on American soil. Amendments which I believe would have fixed the problem were not included in the final bill, and I could not support it.
Some of my colleagues disagree with me on this interpretation. But, when language isn't absolutely clear, and there is an issue of liberty for U.S. citizens, I choose to err on the side of liberty. I do not believe the military should be able to exercise the power of detention at home against U.S. citizens.
Griffith Applauds Pepper Spray Pilot Program for Prisons
Lastly, I was very pleased to learn that our efforts to protect prison guards in federal prisons produced results. I've been involved in trying to launch a pilot program that would allow certain prison guards to carry pepper spray in federal prisons. I toured the U.S. Penitentiary (USP) facility in Lee County; met with the USP prison guards on several occasions; signed on to legislation supporting the pilot program; wrote a letter to other Members of Congress to support this program; and furnished questions to another Member of Congress to ask the BOP director about a pilot program.
Last week, the director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) finally allowed for a pepper spray pilot program to go forward. I want to commend the brave prison guards at the USP in Lee County for their persistent efforts in applying pressure to the BOP director to help him finally see the validity of this pilot program.
As you all may remember, on October 21, 2011, USP Lee Correctional Officer Adam Delp was viciously assaulted by an inmate with an improvised weapon. Carrying only a radio, Officer Delp had nothing to defend himself during the attack. Officer Delp suffered multiple wounds to his face before other correctional officers were able to help restrain the attacker. Fortunately, Officer Delp's injuries were not life threatening, but I worry that future incidents could result in more tragic outcomes.
While we wait for the details of the pilot program to unfold, I'm glad to see this important first step has been taken to better protect our federal prison guards. I sincerely hope that pepper spray will improve the chances of preventing injuries to prison guards similar to those suffered by Officer Delp.
