The Center for Public Interest Law accepts second- and third-year law students for initial participation in its internship program. Interns take a yearlong class entitled Public Interest Law and Practice. In the class, students learn the substantive law governing the operation and decision making of state regulatory agencies. They study the "sunshine statutes" which require most agency decision to be made in public, and constitutional and other limitations on the regulatory authority of administrative agencies. Under the guidance of supervising attorneys, CPIL interns also personally monitor the activities of an assigned agency: They attend agency meetings throughout the state, observe and participate in agency rulemaking proceedings, and track litigation and legislation affecting their assigned agency. Twice per year, interns draft reports on their agency's actions, which are published in the California Regulatory Law Reporter.
Following a year of agency monitoring, students may enroll in Public Interest Law Clinic, and engage in advanced advocacy projects involving active participation in rulemaking, litigation, legislation, and/or writing. Past CPIL intern advocacy projects have included:
- the drafting of legislation that gave the state of California's two open meetings statutes a civil remedy;
- the publication in the California Regulatory Law Reporter of agency critiques that led to reform legislation and, in several cases, to the abolition of unnecessary or ineffective state agencies;
- and the drafting of amicus curiae briefs in appellate litigation on public interest and regulatory issues.
Additionally, CPIL interns are offered the opportunity to take other courses related to the Center's focus, such as Antitrust Law, Administrative Law, Energy Law and Policy, and State and Local Government Law.
Since its inception, CPIL has served both as a widely-valued resource on regulatory issues and as a highly practical training ground in public interest and regulatory law. CPIL interns are given a unique opportunity to participate firsthand in public policymaking on the statewide level, and to work with experienced public interest advocates in a variety of settings.

Knicks in position to compete in East
By Chad Ford
NBA Insider
Send an Email to Chad Ford Monday, February 16
Updated: February 16
LOS ANGELES -- Maybe Isiah Thomas knows what he's doing, after all.
Sunday's trade that shipped Keith Van Horn to the Bucks and Michael
Doleac to the Hawks for Tim Thomas and Nazr Mohammed should put the
Knicks in a position to seriously compete in the East.
After taking over what appeared to be one of the worst jumbles of
mismatched talent and excessive contracts in the NBA, Isiah has, in
the course of two months, made three trades and replaced nine
players on the Knicks roster.
The resulting makeover would make the Fab Five proud. Call it hip
eye for the queer team.
Chances are he's not done. Rumors swirled here at All-Star Weekend
that Isiah was considering swapping Shandon Anderson for Ruben
Patterson. He also is shopping Othella Harrington, Frank Williams
and Michael Sweetney, hard.
Scott Layden must be getting tired just keeping up with the
transaction reports.
After casting a skeptical eye at Isiah's hire and his first two
trades, it's pretty tough not to be impressed.
Thomas and Mohammed aren't the players that Stephon Marbury or even
Penny Hardaway are, but they're the perfect complement to a
backcourt of Marbury, Hardaway and Allan Houston and the blue-collar
frontcourt of Kurt Thomas and Dikembe Mutombo.
After pulling off the Marbury miracle, the main critique was that
Isiah had boxed himself in. He used up his expiring contracts and
draft picks to land Marbury -- but was it enough?
The answer, of course, was no. But with Tim Thomas and Mohammed, the
Knicks suddenly appear to have the pieces they need to compete in
the East.
Thomas is far from a superstar, but as a fourth option, he's the
perfect fit on the Knicks. He's young (he turns 27 in 10 days), tall
and athletic. He can run the floor and has turned himself into a
decent defender the past year. He'll never average 20 points or 10
boards a game, but on the squad the Knicks have assembled, he
doesn't have to. Mohammed is another big body -- something the team
needs as Mutombo nears his 80th birthday.
Here's the other thing about the three trades Isiah has made. Each
one also has been pretty good for the other team making the trade.
Not sure how that's possible, given the Knicks' current roster, but
it's true.
The Moochie Norris for Clarence Weatherspoon trade was a wash. The
Marbury trade gave the Suns the ability to get far enough under the
cap to make a run at a top free agent along with two top young
international prospects and an extra draft pick. It's tough to argue
with the Suns' decision to pull the trigger.
This latest trade also works for the Bucks and the Hawks. Milwaukee
is one of the surprise stories of the first half, but it needed
another guy to pick up some of the scoring load. Van Horn is having
a good season and is capable of averaging 20 and 8 on the Bucks,
which is a nice upgrade over the 14 and 5 that Thomas provided. The
move also allows them to reinsert Desmond Mason into the starting
five and move Van Horn to the four. The Bucks also shave roughly $14
million off their cap for the summer of 2005, giving them around $25
million in cap room to play with that season.
While Van Horn isn't the defender Thomas is, he's a better scorer,
and his offensive rebounding should make the Bucks an even tougher
match-up in the second half.
The Hawks' interest is in getting cap room. By swapping Mohammed for
Doleac and Joel Przybilla, the team will clear another $5 million
next summer. That should put them second to only the Jazz, with
roughly $20 million in cap space to make a run at some top free
agents. While it's highly doubtful the Hawks have enough juice to
lure Kobe Bryant, don't be surprised to see them make a major run at
a guy like Kenyon Martin this summer.
Around the league
GMs were busy here in Los Angeles. Only one trade was actually
finalized here, but several others are in the works. It appears that
many GMs, especially in the East, are now feeling pressure to
respond to Thomas' moves. The Knicks are now a force to be reckoned
with and a few teams are going to have to get their act together if
they're going to keep up. Here's the buzz from L.A. over the
One more theory why the Knicks traded Van Horn is worth
investigating. Two sources at the All-Star Game Sunday night told
Insider it was also a move to clear the way for Rasheed Wallace this
summer. According to the sources, the Knicks are far and away
Wallace's desired final destination -- even if he has to take the
five million mid-level exception to get there. The Knicks will try
to work out a sign and trade with Atlanta this summer, but if that
falls through . . . expect Wallace to become the final piece of
Thomas' puzzle anyway this summer.
Pistons GM Joe Dumars may be the most motivated GM left to make a
deal. The Pistons have to clear around four to five million in cap
space to have enough room to re-sign restricted free agent Mehmet
Okur this summer. There were numerous theories flying around L.A.
speculating what Dumars would do.
The three most popular had him moving Corliss Williamson to Chicago
for Marcus Fizer and Kendall Gill; trading Williamson to Boston for
Chris Mills and a Pistons' first-rounder; and Chucky Atkins to
Orlando for Tyronn Lue and Gordan Giricek. Of the three, you've got
to believe that the Orlando scenario is the most attractive to
The Sonics were happy to see that Ronald Murray could still drop 20
points in game -- albeit in the defenseless NBA Rookie Challenge. It
appears that the team is now serious about making a move using
Murray as the bait. With Ray Allen the permanent fixture at the two
and Antonio Daniels and Luke Ridnour the future at the point --
Murray is expendable and he's got a ton of trade value. The same
holds true for Yugoslavian Vladimir Radmanovic, who never has
appeared to play up to his potential in Seattle. The team already
tried to package the two, along with one of their struggling centers
and the expiring contract of Brent Barry to Atlanta.
The Hawks decided to make a deal with the Blazers instead. That may
be a mistake in the long run if the Hawks can't turn their $20
million in cap room into a real free agent. The Sonics obviously
want a big in return. Is anyone else willing to play let's make a
deal? The Mavs would do something in a heartbeat, but the Sonics are
reluctant to take back either Antoine Walker or Antawn Jamison --
both of whom (especially Walker) were being shopped hard by the Mavs
over the weekend.
There's so much talk about an Aaron McKie-for-Jerome Williams swap,
and it looks like it's bound to happen. Williams' critical comments
toward his teammates, even though justified, probably sealed the
deal in Chicago. Not sure how it helps either team in the long run,
but the truth is that both sides are looking for anything to shake
things up.
There was also a little draft buzz in the air here in L.A. when
18-year-old Latvian 7-footer Andris Biedrins showed up at the
All-Star Game with his family and NBA agent Bill Duffy. Biedrins,
who many scouts compare to a taller version of Andrei Kirilenko, is
the subject of an intense recruiting war among several of the top
international agents. Many scouts believe he's a lock for the top 10
if he enters the draft this year. Biedrins got the royal treatment,
including tickets for his entire family and a pass to the NBPA party
featuring Snoop Dog on Saturday.
Insider ran into Biedrins at the party and then into his family at
the game Sunday night. All of them looked completely overwhelmed by
the intensity of All-Star Weekend. The word from the family is that
Biedrins wants to be in this year's draft, though his mother told me
she's concerned he's a little too young to "live this life."

I believe the market is very much like evolution - the best producers of goods and services strengthen while their competitors challenge them or die out. One of the main arguments against capitalism is the issue of monopolies and their power over their competitors. If there is a lack of competition then prices and quality can become unfair and unchallenged. Although this is rarely the case because there is almost always competition, there is an issue with market 'monopolies' that can prevent the evolution in the market - patents. Say a technological company supplies the best products in their line of industry, they then obtain patent rights to privatize the next innovative designs and ideas in their line of industry. Their competitors are now restricted to out perform them. In this way a monopoly can be established with the power of the law preventing competitors to out-perform them.
I can understand the value of patents for inventors, but the misuse of them in terms of market evolution is very uneconomical.
I wanted to get some opinions on patents in an ideal market. How do you think they would work best (if at all) in an ideal market?
Patents would not exist in a free market. Think about what a patent (or any form of intellectual property) really is. It is a "right" to tell others what they may not do with their actual property. If someone violates this "right," aggression can and will be used against the "offender." Intellectual property is a monopoly, which in a more original meaning of the word, meant a government-granted privilege. This privilege (backed by force) was often all that was needed to make competitors unprofitable and driven out of the market. Thus, a patent is a monopoly, would not exist in a free society, and isn't really helpful in any way to a society.
The only one worth following is the one who leads... not the one who pulls; for it is not the direction that condemns the puller, it is the rope that he holds.
Yeah, we're no friends of patents here.
Yeah, we're no friends of patents here.
I can understand why. However, if someone had an inventive or innovative idea but did not have the resources to produce it, how could their ideas ever come into fruition? If they tried to pitch it or sell it to those who can produce it, how could it be protected from theft without some form of patent or copyright?
"Do Patent Rights allow Monopolies in a Free Market?"
You question is flawed. If there are patents being enforced it is not a free market.
"Do Patent Rights allow Monopolies in a Free Market?"
You question is flawed. If there are patents being enforced it is not a free market.
I understand that now. I have changed the title of the thread to better fit my intended context.
"I understand that now. I have changed the title of the thread to better fit my intended context."
But, by capitalism, do you mean free markets? what do you mean by capitalism?
you can always sign a contract so they cant steal the idea
Exactly. People act as though every inventor would get screwed because his potential investors would run away with his idea. It's very simple: inventors figure out that they ought to show no one their ideas without a contractual obligation to not use it. The repeal of patent law would mean in the medium-term, after people got wise, was that market-giants couldn't sit on knowledge to the exclusion of competitors, knowledge which they may not necessarily have even created but bought from others.
The Anarch is to the Anarchist what the Monarch is to the Monarchist.
-Ernst Jünger
Not sure I agree completely here. A patent allows someone to own an idea. It's not an illegitimately enforced monopoly any more than you owning a house is an illegitimately enforced monopoly.
If patent laws go away entirely, the incentive to share new knowledge with the community in exchange for a limited grant of sole-use over that knowledge will go away and everyone will suffer.
Even in a free society, something like patent could still exist, because it is prima facie ownership, just ownership of something that's very difficult to own, an idea.
you can always sign a contract so they cant steal the idea
So inventor A signs contract with B to not tell his idea to anyone.
B tells C and C makes a business using that idea.
Now A sues B for losses, including all the money C's making, but A cannot then injunct C from making the product, even though A came up with the idea, thus homesteading it?
One can not steal an idea. It's unownable thing.
(english is not my native language, sorry for grammar.)
Right, because it doesn't exhibit scarcity like property does.
One cannot steal an idea if it is not divulged, this is true.
But, let's say that an idea is like a tract of land that is unscarce but can only produce a certain amount of money despite its unscarcity, and the more people use it, despite its unscarcity, the more diluted its value becomes.
It is the use of that idea that gets diluted. The producer of an idea would normally have to keep that idea completely secret in order to profit from it.
I think we should look at patents much the way that we look at a property claim.
A property claim is claim to land that you're not yet using but land that you plan to use, to mix your labor with, in the relatively short-term. There's no reason why people should respect a property claim, except that they want others to respect their claim. There's nothing in homesteading theory that supports the idea of respecting a claim, but it translates theory into reality. Because in practice there's always a time delay between starting to till land and when the full farm is put in. And if you couldn't have X number of acres farmed, because somoene else grabbed your claim before you could till it, you would never have begun tilling at all.
With an idea, like an invention, though ideas are not scarce we make this bargain with people: disclose your invention or idea such that anyone can use it, and in return we'll give you an exclusive right to use that idea for a set term.
I think we'd lose something very valuable indeed if patents or something like them are indeed considered ultimately incompatible with a free society.
Ok, so people should own their inventions for their entire lives? In fact, they can also keep selling the rights to the idea, so the patent control can extend centuries. Correct? Like home ownership. Right?

Perhaps we should admit to some embarrassment right up front. It should not have taken us this long to realize that the Marina Coast Water District's board of directors has only been pretending to be a slapstick operation.
By keeping us entertained with far-fetched proposals and various forms of procedural antics, some Marina Coast board members have managed to make us forget about their more serious misadventures, such as spending buckets full of money on lawyers and consultants and their own staffers and accomplishing, well, nothing that comes to mind. We were so mesmerized by the buckets that we didn't notice the confetti currency leaking from the holes.
With such straight faces, they lectured the rest of the community on water issues even while their district was serving as a conduit of sorts for secret payments to former county water official Steve Collins. When asked about their role, they promised to get back to us, beep beep.
We are still trying to sort out their juggling act of last week. On Friday, which may or may not have been one of madcap director Ken Nishii's final meetings, it seemed briefly that they actually might approve director Howard Gustafson's plan to take district voting rights away from constituents who couldn't demonstrate that they were living in Marina in 1975.
It turns out that wasn't what he meant. Though he apparently was OK with the idea of greatly raising the voting age, what he really wanted was new regulations that would enable Marina residents to vote on district business only if they could prove that they have never read a newspaper. Or maybe it was just this newspaper.
Some folks think Gustafson's real aim is to prevent the district from growing, knowing that the folks in neighboring territory such as Seaside might not support his future re-election bid because they already have some clowns of their own.
Of course, we may have heard him entirely wrong because we thought we almost heard him say he would vote against his own motion in order to protect his legal right later on to censure incoming board member Tom Moore for using unnecessarily long words.
In fact, little of what is written in the preceding paragraphs is true, except for the dysfunctional part. It is true, too, that it can be difficult to spoof a spoof.
If it weren't for the fact that actual land-use and financial decisions arise from the machinations of Nishii, Gustafson et al, it all would be an amusing diversion. It is, however, time for the Marina Coast Water District to come back to the adult table and contribute to the difficult and messy process of solving the Peninsula's perplexing water troubles.
It's good to know that sometime soon the district will stop scheduling special meetings in order to play lame duck games with its rubber chickens, and that Moore and Peter Le will soon take their rightful spots on the board. Gustafson will still be around to liven things up, but only until he notices that it isn't 1975 any more.

The retired West Virginia state trooper from Eleanor has been walking the trail since March. Courtesy photo Gary Kerastury was clean shaven when he registered in March at the start of the Appalachian Trail near Amicalola Falls Park in Springer Mountain, Ga. Courtesy photo Nearly six months into Gary Kerastury's trek, the former West Virginia State Police trooper sports a bushy beard. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Gary Kerastury didn't expect to hike the 2,180-mile long Appalachian Trail alone.He wasn't even the one who planned the trip in the first place.The retired West Virginia State Police trooper has already made it nearly 2,000 miles since March 17, though, walking through snow on some mountaintops and enduring one of the warmest summers ever recorded while carrying about 45 pounds on his back.Last weekend, Kerastury took a break from his trek and spent the night in a hotel room near the trail in North Woodstock, N.H."The rains fell with high wind and it got pretty cold up there," he said in a telephone conversation about his decision to come down from a mountain and spend the night in a bed.While trying to get rested at the $70 hotel room, Kerastury sounded tired as he thought about the time he has remaining in the wilderness."Finding a hotel is going to be something difficult from here on in," he said, "because I don't think I go through any more towns."Kerastury, 57, of Eleanor, retired from the State Police in 2000. He quit his job at a mattress store to prepare to hike the trail, which spans 14 states.About two years ago, a friend spoke of a lifelong dream to make the trek -- something Kerastury had never really thought about doing.Kerastury and his friend started preparing in January. They had decided there was no better time to become "true hikers" than this year, the 75th anniversary of the trail."I watched a couple of videotapes the other guy provided and I jogged three miles a day every other day from January to March," Kerastury said. "I was fairly prepared to go."Equipped with a three-person tent for extra room and the "A.T. Guide" (the Appalachian Trail handbook), Kerastury and his friend started their hike at the beginning of the trail in Georgia."It was rough. I realized there really was nothing I could've done to prepare for the trip," Kerastury said, reflecting on the first few days climbing Springer Mountain. While Kerastury was trying to come to grips with grueling 17-mile-a-day walks, his friend had a change of heart."I just said, 'Mark, if you could hang on until the first town up here . . . we could have a better sense of what's going on,'" Kerastury said. "He said, 'No, I'm going to leave right now.' So he went three days and just decided to hang it up, and I decided, well, I'm going to keep going."Only one out of every four people who attempt to hike the trail all the way through successfully complete the journey, according to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy's website.After his friend left, Kerastury traded in his three-person tent for "Big Agnes," a lighter tent made for one person."At night, I've had things snorting around outside my tent," he said. "So you're on edge, wondering what's going on and what it is."Six months later, the soggy pages of the "A.T. Guide" book are barely holding together. Kerastury has lost about 20 pounds and the usually clean-shaven former state trooper has a full white beard. Despite several encounters with bears -- one of which he barked at like a dog to scare it away -- and huge snakes, Kerastury has walked the trail unscathed. Well, for the most part.He did nearly break his nose in Pennsylvania -- which he calls "the rock state.""I was just going along, had my hands behind my back holding my pack, tripped and went down and hit my face on a rock," he said. "I was bleeding a good bit, but I stuck toilet paper in my nose."I kept walking and met two other guys who doctored me up a bit. No one had any water to brush the blood off and see how deep the wounds were."Eventually, Kerastury ran into a man who had water and was able to wash the blood off his face and see the injury."He told me I should see a doctor about the deepest wound above my eye, but I wasn't close to a town and I didn't really want to go anyway, so I didn't," he said. "I had scabs for about three weeks after, and now I've got small scars on top of my nose and above my left eye.""I worry about him," Barbara Kerastury said of her husband earlier this month.Although she's not doing any actual hiking, she's a big part of the trip -- sending him packages, visiting him three times and updating a blog about her husband's journey."I fix a box of food and mail it to him about every week to 10 days," Barbara Kerastury said. "There are places that hold the packages until they are picked up, usually a hotel and mostly he stays there if his package is there."Sometimes, we can see that there is a Walmart close, so he shops there and I won't have to send food."Gary Kerastury can estimate where he'll be so his wife will know where to send a package."He told me not to send any more Fig Newtons," she said with a laugh.Even with all the majestic scenery and care packages from his wife, Gary Kerastury said the trip has sometimes become monotonous."I've thought of it as a job at times. You're doing the same thing every evening - you get ready, cook something, go to bed, wake up, you might eat, you might not, you pack up your bag and move from A to B. That becomes like a job," he said. "You're doing the same thing day after day and that becomes mundane, especially in rainy or muddy weather."While walking, he'll think about his future. He wants to find another job, maybe at a Lowe's or Home Depot, some kind of home-improvement store. He thinks about his wife, who is keeping up the house and doing yard work. He also wonders how he'll get back to Eleanor at the end of the whole thing."I think I'll take a bus back to Portland, Maine, and catch a train from there to Charleston," he said. "I've spent a fair amount of time thinking about how I'm going to handle it."I guess that's getting the cart before the horse, because I probably had 1,500 miles to go when I first started thinking about how I'd get home."His wife expects him home Oct. 1.Reach Kate White at email@example.com or 304-348-1723.

An excellent course. It exceeded my expectations and I am absolutely sure I will use the information throughout the years.
Cheryl, thank you for a very meaningful class. I know that I will use this material over and over again. I have been inspired to really focus on the benefits to be gained from journaling. The material you had for us was so much more thought provoking than I expected for a journaling class. I have a whole new appreciation for the art of journaling.
Great course on the psychology of journaling and I enjoyed getting back into writing. Very inspiring and personal. I have learned much to take with me in my writing adventure. Thank you.
I have benefited immensely from this class and highly recommend it to anyone who has used journaling to explore their inner life and to get honest and current with themselves. The instructor has presented valuable information and resources also for those who are new to journaling. Enjoy! You will not be disappointed.
I have kept a journal (on and off) for 20 years. In the past year, I noticed huge gaps in time between entries, so I decided to take this class to get me back on track. As a result of this course, not only am I writing in my journal more frequently, but I'm having a blast doing so! My entries are more focused and insightful and full of zest and optimism. I've also started to record my dreams, which is a new experience for me. Thank you for giving us the tools and techniques to make our journal writing more efficient, beneficial and fun!
I knew I would enjoy this class just from reading the course outline, but I didn't expect it to have such a huge impact on me. I rediscovered the joy of writing and used my journaling to make major changes in my life. This has been one of the most powerful experiences I have ever had. Each lesson was exactly what I was hoping to learn, and so much more. I have two degrees, but this course is one that will continue to have a positive impact every day. Thank you so much!
I learned a lot more from this course than I thought I would. I will be using this information for the rest of my life.
I'm new to journaling and this course has been a wonderful surprise. I had no idea the practice of journaling offered so many benefits and can be such a helpful, powerful tool in our lives.
I really appreciated the different techniques and tools of journaling the class afforded. I also am interested in exploring the dream areas more. There was just a lot of information and ideas that I think will be helpful down the line.
Thank you for this class, because I really needed some direction and a safe place to share my thoughts and dreams.

It's not like he was hopping around and jumping on it. He was gingerly walking around. Obviously, if he had blown out an ACL, he wouldn't have been able to walk around at all, so that was the good sign with his walking. But I've strolled around for days with a stress fracture in my foot before going to the doctor about it. I'm no medical professional, but I knew just because he was walking around didn't mean he was fine. Had he come back in the game, then I probably would have assumed he was fine.
Oh well, just a depressing day all around. Sorry if I came off short earlier.
It's cool. I am pretty frisky today as well.
I'm happy with that effort. Close throughout, we just need to learn how to finish games. We start panicking and take crappy shots when we are down by 6 or 7 with a few minutes left. Offense looked much more fluid, Hulls is getting more and more confident, the defense wasn't bad (Wisconsin made a lot of BS shots), all in all, a good effort.
I'll take that sort of game against Wisconsin on the road from a bunch of sophomores.
We were really just missing a guy that can always get a bucket.
Zeller will hopefully help to rectify that as well.
Have to, and I mean have to go beat Iowa now. No excuses. For Mo!
Also, a stat I saw that had me mildly encouraged, is that we are second in the Big Ten in FG% at like 49% before last nights game and we shot at 51% last night. We just need to increase our efficiency on defense and cut back on some turnovers and I think we could surprise a couple teams in the 2nd half of the season, but have to start with that Iowa game. I can't stress it enough. No excuses for losing that one.
Wow... I got caught up in the NFL and finally decided I better switch over to the Big Ten Network to see how IU was doing. With under 5 mins remaining it was a 20 point lead for Iowa!
I certainly thought losing was a possibility but I expected it to be close.
Jones was in street clothes/sweats... what was up there?
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
Jones has inflammation in his knee. Bad news.
Still, even without Jones, this was a poor performance. Jones is really key for our team, he's the only wing who can create offense for himself. Without him, we are in trouble.
No Jones, no Creek. What can you even expect?
Might as well put this season in the dump and start asking Cody which number he would like next year.
We may very well not win another game this season.
I watched. I can't believe there's such a talent gap. It's painful.
"But, first, let us now praise famous moments, because something happened Tuesday night in Indianapolis that you can watch a lifetimes worth of professional basketball and never see again. There was a brief, and very decisive, and altogether unprecedented, outburst of genuine officiating, and it was directed at the best player in the world, and that, my dear young person, simply is not done."
Yeah, IU basketball is no longer appointment TV for me. Too painful and frustrating to go out of my way to watch. Hopefully next year everyone is healthy and Zeller can help us improve big time.
The injuries are tough but giving up 90+ to Iowa? Iowa?!?!? Disgraceful.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
I just think this team is really mentally beat down. They are young and still have not learned to be mentally tough and seeing Creek go down twice in two years has to be taxing. Then you lose Verdell within the next week, tough to see them handling that well. Now we're asking Matt Roth to defend shooting guards and he hasn't seen extended playing time in almost 18 months.
Verdell is a bigger loss than Creek IMO. He is the only guy with a developed midrange game who can create offense on his own. How much time is he expected to miss?
Agreed, it finally looked against Wisco like Verdell was getting into a groove to. I've heard it could be a month or more for Verdell, but not a good time table. A month is basically our season though at this point.
Gosh I don't know what Indiana basketball did to deserve all this bad karma we have, but it is getting old. We just cannot catch a break.
2) You hired a guy who had no business being a Big Ten coach to replace him.
3) You fired that guy and hired a known cheater.
4) Surprise! He cheated and the whole program had to be blown up.
5) Injuries happen to everybody. You deal with it.
The program was already in trouble a bit before firing Knight, while I definitely don't agree with the way it was handled, I don't think that decision doomed us or anything like that.
To expand, the big problem was the way it was handled. It neutered our ability to go get a superstar coach because
1.) it took place right before the season started
and 2.) it completely killed all big time coach's confidence that they would have full support of the program.
That being said Davis was an OK coach, but definitely was in over his head the first few years when it came to recruiting. By the time he almost hit a home run (DJ White, Josh Smith class) Smith bailed to the NBA and White was left with some really questionable upper classmen talent.
Sampson was a bit of a head scratcher and obviously a major dice roll.
You can argue that Crean is almost the exact opposite of that. A guy who will get you back to being competitive, re-establish IU and remind young recruits about the tradition, then after 6-7 years of that, you go looking for a ringer.
Oh. So that's what happened?

We want to hear from you! Out of these top blog posts for 2012, which would you consider the No. 1 post?
The nominations are:
1) 'Why I believe in sponsorship'
"That, in a nutshell, is why I believe in sponsorship. Because thatís what sponsorship does: It creates relationships that defy geographic, cultural or socioeconomic boundaries. It connects a mom in the U.S. with a young girl in Haiti in such profound ways that my friend was remembering and bragging on Nirhva's birthday, just like she would her own daughter's."
2) 18 small gift ideas to send in your Christmas card
Veronica from CFCA explores creative ways to send a little something to your sponsored friend, something that fits in a package no larger than 9 by 12 inches, weighs less than a pound and is less than an inch thick.
3) What do sponsored children want to know in letters?
CFCA sponsored children from Colombia talk about letters and what they want to hear from sponsors.
4) Finding light in the darkness: Helping sponsored children in El Salvador
"Have you noticed how easy it is to lose a friend but how hard it is to find one? At CFCA we strive to create friendship, a friendship based on mutual respect and support. Just imagine ó some of us are behind the computers programming, some are answering phone calls, some are scanning letters, others are in the field visiting families. We all are contributing to create just one more friendship at a time."
5) Diego in Colombia gets his bicycle
Diego, a sponsored child in Colombia, used to walk 80 minutes to school ó and that was just one way! Our CFCA colleagues in Bogota were so moved by his perseverance that they worked on getting a bicycle for him so he wouldnít have to walk such a great distance.
6) Taking photos of sponsored children in India
Each year we take a new photo of every child and aging friend sponsored through CFCA. That amounts to more than 300,000 photos taken around the world. Follow a CFCA staffer in India as he travels to remote villages to take more than 3,000 pictures of sponsored friends.
7) Former sponsored youth shares dreams: 'Today I dared to win'
"I started believing that through studying, one piece of cloth could become throngs of fabulous dresses in a wardrobe. That a single pencil I had could be a whole box of pencils. And that we would no longer worry over everything within our house."
The No. 1 post that the majority of our readers choose will be given a place of honor on our blog, and it may be repurposed for our promotional and marketing materials.
Have you made your choice? If so, click here to take the survey.
Voting closes Dec. 21, so be sure to vote before then!
Please share the survey with your family and friends, particularly those who don't yet know about CFCA. We'd enjoy hearing what they think of these posts, too.
Thanks, and we appreciate your help!

Here's how Nancy Gibbs, managing editor of Time magazine, explains it: "For pulling the papacy out of the palace and into the streets, for committing the world's largest church to confronting its deepest needs and for balancing judgment with mercy, Pope Francis is Time's 2013 Person of the Year."
Compare that to Sarah Palin's remarks about the pope being "too liberal" and Rush Limbaugh's histrionic response that the pope is a "Marxist" simply because he has asked us to redirect our attention to the poor and disenfranchised.
Personally, I think he is doing precisely what any Christian leader ought to be doing, and it's weird that some of us are put off or even threatened by that. I mean, the pope is advocating for those in need and admonishing the greedy. Isn't that the Christian thing to do?
At the same time, I don't think that Pope Francis should get any more power to spread his message than some TV coverage and the bully pulpit; it's never a good idea when a religious leader is in charge of, for example, the armed forces or a political system.
However, like his predecessors, the pope has a big voice and a huge audience, and he's chosen to use both in favor of people who have neither. That's power enough, I believe.
I applaud the pope when he says we need to stop focusing on abortion and homosexuality. I don't think he's necessarily abandoning these issues entirely; he's merely trying to push them down on the world's agenda so that the more pressing problems of global inequality and human suffering can claim a higher spot. As reported, the pope sees the Church as a field hospital with high cholesterol.
And he's right to do this. In terms of size, the number of those affected by starvation, cruelty, war, disease, poverty and lack of opportunities dwarfs the number of people in the world affected by abortion and gay marriage. And you can certainly make the argument that homosexuality in particular is not a source of human suffering.
As heated as the debate over gay marriage can get, same-sex couples do not inspire trauma or violence, unless of course you happen to walk over to that dark side on your own steam and legs.
I don't know what the pope's message to the world will be on Christmas Day, but from the looks of it, he's all in. Therefore, I hope that on that day of family, joy, gifts and glitter, he maintains our focus on the people who don't have access to those things, because they, too, are worthy of our attention and compassion.
For now, Pope Francis seems to be the best person to exert that kind of moral authority, not because he's the pope, but because he walks the talk and doesn't get self-righteous about it. His vision is simple and straightforward – we are our brothers' keepers – and he's unwavering on that point. I don't think anyone in recent memory has made it any plainer.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said advancements in agriculture technology have made America food secure, and that technology will help produce the estimated 70 percent increase in food production the world will need in coming decades.
Vilsack spoke Tuesday at Kansas State University, delivering the 160th Landon Lecture in a series named after former Kansas Governor Alf Landon, who was the 1936 Republican presidential nominee.
Vilsack, the former governor of Iowa, emphasized the importance of agriculture and why expanding agriculture education is imperative to the future of our nation, a message that was well-received by those in attendance who gave Vilsack standing ovations at the beginning and the end of his speech.
Vilsack began by referring to an article published in February on Yahoo! titled "College Majors That Are Useless" by Yahoo! News staff writer Terence Loose. The article cited five majors that are "degrees to avoid" when going back to college. Those majors, in order; agriculture, fashion design, theater, animal science, and horticulture. Vilsack explained that, in fact, there is no such thing as a useless degree in the field of agriculture, and he based his speech on the guideline, "Seven reasons why degrees in ag are not useless but imperative."
The first reason Vilsack gave was that "people with degrees in agriculture have made our country food secure," meaning if we were to go to war and the ports were closed down tomorrow the U.S. is self sufficient enough to feed ourselves. "Don't take that for granted," he said. Vilsack added that 85 percent of the food we consume is produced in the U.S. and that because of our nation's food security we are less likely to have conflict amongst ourselves. "A country that's well-fed is a country that's at peace with itself," Vilsack said. The Secretary also noted that agriculture is responsible for about 10 percent of U.S. exports, and that every billion in agriculture sales generates 8,400 jobs at home.
The second reason he listed as importance of ag degrees is the capacity of the U.S. to help feed the world and keep it safe. By investing in research, Vilsack says, American agriculture has the capacity and the ability to reach out to other developing countries and help provide them with food and the opportunity to gain knowledge in order to produce their own food. "By providing a transfer of knowledge to other countries we are not going to compete with them, we will work with them." Vilsack also believes by investing in agriculture education and research we will be able to expand the middle class. Vilsack proposes that to help with the nation's unemployment rate we look to agriculture which employs one out of every 12 Americans.
Vilsack continued his list by adding sustainable energy options. Vilsack's belief in biofuel energy was evidenced earlier this week by approving a $5 million payment to Western Plains Energy, LLC, to support the construction of a biogas anaerobic digester in Oakley, Kan. Livestock waste can help America become energy secure and create job opportunities for many bio and plant based energy operations. "American agriculture has helped the US move away from petroleum based plastics," Vilsack said. "We have unlimited potential in this country." Vilsack believes by using more biofuels our country has reduced the cost of gasoline at the pump anywhere from $0.80-$1.30 a gallon.
A student in attendance at Vilsack's Landon Lecture was Sierra Warren, sophomore in elementary education. "I agreed with the Secretary on many of his points," Warren said, "but my favorite was when he discussed the importance of agriculture education."
After the lecture, Vilsack met with reporters and voiced his support for the construction of the National Bio- and Agro-Defense (NBAF) facility in Manhattan near Kansas State University. He said the proposed $650 million research facility was important to ensure the U.S. would continue to have a safe and adequate food supply.
"I understand the importance and significance of getting that done," Vilsack said. He believes the facility is a national priority that will help identify threats to the multi-billion agriculture industry.
U.S. Senator Pat Roberts (R-Kan) accompanied Vilsack on his visit to Kansas State and also fielded questions from reporters about NBAF. Roberts, who has championed the construction of NBAF in Kansas, says Vilsack "stands squarely behind this project and has said where there's a will there's a way."
Lisa Henderson is a sophomore in Agricultural Economics and Ag Communications at Kansas State University.

CLOSURES will be enforced along the A127 for almost two weeks while repairs are carried out to the busy dual carriageway.
The London-bound carriageway, between Pound Lane in north Benfleet and the A132 in Basildon, will be closed off to motorists while Essex County Council resurfaces the road.
The closures will be in force between 9pm and 5am until January 24.
The repairs are being conducted to improve skid-resistance and smooth out the uneven road surface after a recent survey found the carriageway to be in a poor condition.

Elisabeth Anselmi Reiss
Beads To End Breast Cancer
When Elisabeth Reiss moved into the Hynson-Ringgold House in July 2010, she brought along a very long strand of beads—at 1,048 feet it's long enough to traverse the length of three football fields. Every one of the 40,000 pink beads Elisabeth Reiss has strung together represents a life lost to breast cancer in a single year.
Reiss was living in Williamsburg, Virginia, when she set out to break a world record by single-handedly stringing the pink beads in a continuous strand. The feat was good enough to earn the recognition of the Guinness World Records organization. But Reiss has a greater objective in mind. She wants to raise at least $40,000 by selling sponsorships for every bead—figuratively dwindling the impact of breast cancer down to nothing. Reiss has created a Web site (www.buyabead.org) where donors can dedicate beads to a friend or family member affected by the disease.
Reiss hopes to team up with the College's Zeta Tau Alpha sorority during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. Every year, the sorority directs its philanthropic efforts to support the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
Supporting Local Schools
"If I could give just one gift to elementary school-aged children, I would make sure that every student is reading at the appropriate grade level," says Elisabeth Reiss. To that end, she and her husband, former Washington College President Mitchell Reiss, will continue a longstanding family tradition of donating 100 new books to the local elementary school in their community each fall.
Mrs. Reiss, after visiting St. Martin's Ministries in Ridgely, organized a sock and underwear drive to mark the opening of the local public schools. Dubbed "Toes & Tushies," the initiative seeks to collect basic necessities for children in pre-school through high school.
"Parents trying to outfit their children for school sometimes have to scrimp on what's underneath those shirts and pants and shoes," she says. While Reiss's Toes & Tushies drive will be an ongoing, year-round effort for St. Martin's Ministries, Mrs. Reiss says Washington College students will be collecting donations for Kent County residents (toddler through teen) during the first week of September. Collection boxes will be set up in the dining hall.
Can You Hum A Few Bars?
Washington College's alma mater had languished for decades, silenced by years of neglect. Current students had never heard of it, and few alumni could recall the words or the tune.
If Elisabeth Reiss has her way, that's all about to change.
"It's a beautiful song," exclaims Mrs. Reiss, who treated the audience at her husband's inauguration to a rousing rendition of "Old Washington." The 1926 composition, arranged by Professor of Music Garry Clarke, is now performed at all major College functions. A recording of the alma mater fills the void when callers get placed on hold.
"And it's great for school spirit," she says, recounting an airport sighting of two strangers who burst into song when they realized they were both graduates of the same university. She promises that first-year students will be belting out the alma mater before the first day of classes—learning the song is part of this year's new student orientation.
Old Washington
By the gleaming, blue Chester River
On the Maryland Eastern Shore
Stands a glorious Alma Mater
Whose name we will ever adore.
'Tis a name that shone high in glory
When our country, her freedom won.
And our College alone was the first one to own
To the fair name of Washington.
So Washington, Old Washington
Our Washington we do adore
We will fight for her honor
As her sons and daughters have before.
So Washington, Old Washington
Our Washington forever more,
She's our dear Alma Mater,
On the old Eastern Shore.
Just as Washington was the foremost
Both in honor and peace and war,
So our College is foremost ever
To honor the name that he bore.
And where'er her children may wander,
She can trust ev'ry loyal one,
For we'll bring her no shame, but be true to her name,
To the fair name of Washington.
— by C. L. Atwater, 1926, arr. Garry E. Clarke, 1995

The race is now officially on for the vacant District 71 seat in the Georgia House of Representatives.
The district encompasses much of east Coweta County and two small areas in northwest Peachtree City. Although Coweta resident Robert Stokely won election last year, he withdrew from the position in December after being offered a full-time job in Coweta Magistrate Court.
Six candidates have thrown their hat in the ring in hopes of winning the seat outright. Because of the crowded field a runoff election is likely and would be held on March 5, near the end of the 2013 legislative session.
The six candidates who have qualified for office include Cynthia Bennett (D, Newnan), Thomas G. Crymes (R, Sharpsburg), Michael Farbo (R, White Oak), Darryl Marmon (R, Sharpsburg), David Stover (R, Palmetto) and Richard Weisser (R, Sharpsburg).
Coweta voters wishing to vote early will be able to cast their ballot today (Saturday) at the elections office at 22 East Broad Street in Newnan and also on weekdays between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Early voting in Coweta will end Feb. 1.
Early Peachtree City voters will be able to vote Monday through Friday either at the Peachtree City Library or the Fayette County elections office in downtown Fayetteville. Both locations will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
On the date of the special election, Tuesday, Feb. 5, voters will have to appear in person to cast a ballot at their local voting precinct between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
Because the district's footprint in Peachtree City is so small, there will only be two polling locations open for the election: Precinct 18 at Peachtree City Christian Church and Precinct 31 at the Kedron Fieldhouse and Aquatic Center.

J.R. Smith will opt out of his contract with the New York Knicks to explore free agency, his father, Earl, told the New York Post report.
"It depends on what's on the table," Earl Smith told the Post. "He's already taken a lot less the last two years to play here. Whatever the decision, I support. I would love for him to be here but I have my other two sons here."
Coming off the best season of his NBA career, J.R. Smith's move to opt out of his player option, which was first reported at Sheridonhoops.com, is not unexpected.
Smith averaged 18.1 points and 5.3 rebounds to win Sixth Man of the Year and appears to have matured. He's also a better defender. Those two statements were tough to apply to Smith two seasons ago, and Earl Smith gave Knicks coach Mike Woodson credit for helping in that turnaround.
Smith took a pay cut to remain with the New York Knicks, even though he was recruited to the Los Angeles Clippers by star Chris Paul. They eventually landed Jamal Crawford (for $5 million per season), who challenged Smith for the Sixth Man award.
Smith makes $2.8 million per season, less than the salary for role players Steve Novak ($4.0 million) and Marcus Camby ($4.5 million). To add context, Novak has made one postseason field goal and Camby has sat with injury. Smith averages 17.0 points and 3.5 rebounds as the Knicks' second-leading scorer and secondary option in clutch situations.
The most the Knicks can offer Smith is a four-year deal at $4.9 million per season, because he will have Early-Bird rights, a salary exception available to re-sign a player who spent the past two seasons with the same team—even for a player like Smith who has played under two different contracts, as Sheridonhoops.com points out.
Teams under the salary cap with more financial flexibility than the Knicks will be capable of offering Smith a more lucrative deal. New York already pays big money to star Carmelo Anthony and oft-injured forward Amare Stoudemire.
When asked about his coming free agency, Smith remained tight-lipped.
"I'm not really worried about it right now," Smith said Tuesday. "I'm worried about playing for the New York Knicks…against Boston. When that time comes I'll worry about it when it comes."

Republican presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann says she hopes young voters and others who have committed support will help sway their neighbors at tonight's Iowa caucus.
The Minnesota congresswoman said "it's anyone's guess" who will come out on top. Polls are showing that even caucus goers who have committed to a candidate say they could change their mind.
Bachmann says she has a lot of support from voters ages 18-29.
"They're beyond the issue of gender, they're beyond the issue of race. They look at the candidate," she told MPR's Morning Edition.
Bachmann says she expects many caucus goers will make their decisions on the spot. She said she's putting her hopes into the people who have told her they will stand up and speak for her at the caucus.
"People will say 'gee, I didn't know that about Michele. I didn't know she was a tax lawyer. I didn't know that she started a successful company. I didn't know she raised 23 foster kids. I didn't know that she sits on the intelligence committee, [that] of all the candidates in the race she's the only one with national security experience,'" Bachmann said.
"Those pieces of information will all come out on caucus night, and quite literally people will put those pieces of information together and then make their decision on the spot," she said.

'Take Me Fishing 101' Videos Help New Anglers Gear Up
AUSTIN, Texas — You walk into a sporting goods store and see a row of fishing poles hanging from a shelf. All of them look the same, and you become so overwhelmed that you leave in frustration. You've always wanted to pick up the sport but don't really know where to even begin.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's "Take Me Fishing 101" 11-part video series will help get you from the sporting goods store to the water to landing your first big catch in no time. The series provides beginning anglers will all the necessary information to start fishing.
As TPWD Aquatic Education Coordinator Ann Miller notes at the beginning of segment 3, "The fishing department at a sporting goods store can be a little overwhelming."
And, asking questions of even the friendliest of shop clerks can be a little intimidating for those new to the sport. However, through the course of three short segments, 'Basic Gear Assembly,' 'Tackle Box and Supplies,' and 'Bait and Lures,' Miller and TPW Outdoor Education Program staffer Steve Campbell guide new fishermen through the maze of available tackle, equipment and bait.
Starting with 'Basic Gear Assembly' in segment 3, Miller walks beginners through assembling a multi-piece rod, threading line through eyelets, tying a Palomar knot and attaching a bobber and sinker. She also explains the purpose and function of each piece of gear.
Segment 4, 'Tackle Box and Supplies,' provides anglers with an extensive, yet necessary list of tackle and equipment. Miller covers the presence of obvious items such as hooks and lures in a tackle box but also details other often overlooked necessities such as pliers, clippers, first aid kit and TPWD's Outdoor Annual. Other items, like bug spray, sun protection and hand sanitizer are shown being packed into a small bag, giving new fishermen a practical means to carry all the gear needed to have an enjoyable and productive day on the water.
Campbell takes the lead in segment 5, 'Bait and Lures,' and navigates new anglers through the dizzying array of lures and baits available in tackle shops. He lists a number of natural baits such as worms, minnows and crawfish, as well as some unconventional, yet effective baits such as corn and hot dogs. He also offers advice for how to keep bait fresh and how to get whatever bait you may use on a hook.
All of this information will come in handy for TPWD's year-round "Free Fishing in State Parks" program. TPWD has waived the normal fishing license and stamp requirements for anyone fishing inside the property boundary of a state park. Access banks, piers, rivers or creeks by land or from a boat for only the cost of the park entrance fee. Some parks will even provide free loaner equipment and bait.
TPWD's "Take Me Fishing 101" video series was made possible by federal Sportfish Restoration Act funds and a donation from Toyota and the Texas Bass Classic Foundation. The entire series is available online at the TPWD Web site and on TPWD's official YouTube channel.

I love these more than the large tattered flowers. I rarely need such a large flower so the different sizes in the Sizzlits strip die work out much better. Looking at the add it seems like these are somehow joined together. They are not however. All are seperate flowers which you can put together anyway you want to. You won't go wrong with this product.
I like the size of these flowers and used them today on a scrapbook page for my granddaughter. I cut several different color coordinated papers and then assembled the flowers mixing the patterns. Lots of variety in the way these can be used.
these are the ones for you! The whole die is filled with diffrent petals, leafs ect. if this is the type of flower setting your looking for then it would be perfect for you!!
I recently purchased this and have used ALOT! There are so many different ways that you can use them. You can make them large or small. If you like/love Tim Holtz tattered flowers, you will like/love this, too.
Great way to add paper embellishments on projects. Lots of options with this strip.

Already without one key player, Duke is confident another one can play through his injury when it tries to bounce back from its first loss.
The third-ranked Blue Devils expect guard Seth Curry to play Thursday night when they look to get back on track and continue their dominance over visiting Georgia Tech, the only ACC team without a league win.
Playing its first game minus 6-foot-11 senior Ryan Kelly (13.4 points, 5.4 rebounds per game), who is out indefinitely with a foot injury, Duke lost 84-76 at then-No. 20 North Carolina State on Saturday. While the defeat dropped the Blue Devils (15-1, 2-1) from the No. 1 spot in the AP poll, they hope it didn't leave them further short-handed after Curry missed the final minutes with a left ankle sprain.
"It's not a juggernaut and has not been," coach Mike Krzyzewski told Duke's official website about his team. "Hopefully we can keep the ship afloat and traveling in the right direction."
Krzyzewski would like to have Curry steering that ship.
The team's second-leading scorer at 16.4 points per game, Curry missed a game in December with an injury to the same ankle and continues to manage a right shin problem. He had a team-high 22 points Saturday and is 10 of 21 from 3-point range during ACC play.
"He's been remarkable, he just doesn't practice much, he can't," said Krzyzewski, who planned to rest Curry on Wednesday. "He's been remarkable how he's done it.
"We have to try to keep our timing, and his timing together. Try to play at the top level, which we've been pretty much able to do the whole season."
If the Blue Devils hope to remain at that level, they may need new starter Josh Hairston and backup Amile Jefferson to play well in place of Kelly. That pair combined for 18 points and nine rebounds Saturday.
"We're not a great team with Ryan, we're a really good team, but we're better than our parts when we have them all together," Krzyzewski said.
Star Mason Plumlee had his conference-best 10th double-double with 15 points and 11 boards Saturday, but his 11.5 scoring average in four games this month is eight below his average through December.
Duke also hopes freshman Rasheed Sulaimon can regain his scoring touch while Kelly is out. Sulaimon has shot 9 for 40 (22.5 percent) over the past five games while averaging 6.4 points, about half his average through the first 11 games.
Despite a banged-up roster, the Blue Devils should have a good chance to take care of Georgia Tech (10-5, 0-3). A winner in four straight and 28 of 31 overall against the Yellow Jackets, Duke has won five consecutive meetings at Cameron Indoor Stadium by an average of 16.0 points since losing 76-68 on March 3, 2004. That is Georgia Tech's lone victory in its last 13 trips to Durham.
Kelly scored 21 and Curry added 15 in Duke's 81-74 win at Georgia Tech in the lone meeting last season.
The Yellow Jackets are off to their worst start in conference play since opening 0-6 in 2008-09 and have dropped nine straight road games. Georgia Tech, which fell 70-65 in overtime at home to Virginia Tech on Saturday, has shot 35.5 percent and averaged 61.3 points in three league contests.
Freshman swingman Marcus Georges-Hunt averages a team-leading 10.9 points but 8.7 in conference action while shooting 37.5 percent. He's missed 13 of his last 14 3-point attempts.

Smaller beaches, fewer vacationers expected at N.J. Shore
Hurricane Sandy is expected to have a long-term economic impact on the Jersey Shore. Immediately, it will mean smaller beaches and a shortage of places to vacation.
Real estate consultant Jeffrey Otteau told a New Jersey Assembly committee Thursday that all the damage Sandy caused means there will be fewer seasonal rentals available at the Shore this summer.
"There will simply be fewer people packing up their belongings, getting into the car, and driving down to the Shore for a Saturday, for a week, for a month, or for a season because it's not going to be as pleasant an experience as it was before," he said.
Jersey Shore business owners also are worried.
Marilyn Schlossbach, who owns four restaurants in Ocean and Monmouth counties, said her insurance probably won't be enough to pay off her vendors and rebuild.
"Right now, I have 75 full-time employees out of work. By summertime, I'll have 250 employees out of work," she said. "The way that our story looks to us at this particular moment, we won't make it to summer."
Otteau expects it will take several years to repair the storm damage.
He also anticipates an increase in the number of homes sold at below-market prices in the Shore area because homeowners insurance was not enough to cover the losses or because owners worked at businesses that were destroyed by the storm and are now unemployed.

Marlins send reliever Jennings to Triple-A
MIAMI -- To make roster space for Jacob Turner, the Marlins on Friday night optioned lefty reliever Dan Jennings to Triple-A New Orleans.
Turner is being reinstated from the disabled list, and the right-hander will start against the Dodgers on Saturday night.
Jennings appeared in 10 games and posted a 1.74 ERA, with eight strikeouts and four walks in 10 1/3 innings.
"It's one of those tough decisions that you've got to make," manager Mike Redmond said. "He's going to be fine. He will go down there and pitch, and we know he has value to us. It's a tough decision."
Turner went on the DL on April 9, retroactive to April 4, due to a right shoulder sprain.

Mubarak in stable condition after first trial session
Dr. Mohamed Fathallah, Sharm el-Sheikh hospital director, who accompanied the ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to the courtroom, said after the adjournment of the trial to August 15 that Mubarak's condition was "very stable and he has not seen any deterioration." According to him, the stress of the former president "rose" during the session, but it returned to normal levels afterwards.
Interior Ministry sources confirmed that the former leader was moved to the presidential wing of the country's World Medical Center, in order to facilitate the securing measures. They added that this wing is directed to prominent figures. It is reported that the occupancy rate at the Medical Center does not exceed 20%.
Maj. Gen. Mansour Issawi, the Egyptian Minister of the Interior, conveyed the police and the army secured the transferring process of Mubarak to the Medical Center which is located along the Cairo - Ismailia Desert Road. Al-Issawi hailed the security forces for their performance earlier in the day to secure the arrival of Mubarak from Sinai to the Police Academy in Cairo.

(covers information from several alternate timelines)
SC-4 was the designation of a Starfleet Command shuttlecraft used by Admiral Kathryn Janeway of an alternate 2404 in her plan to alter history. Equipping the shuttle with a chrono deflector stolen from Korath, Janeway generated a temporal rift to the Delta Quadrant of the year 2378, where she successfully infiltrated the Borg Unicomplex and delivered a neurolytic pathogen to cripple the Collective. This created a new timeline in which allowed USS Voyager to use a Borg transwarp conduit to return to the Alpha Quadrant sixteen years before they would have without Admiral Janeway's intervention.
The shuttle was capable of achieving the speed of at least warp 6. It was equipped with deflector shields and several advanced anti-Borg technologies developed by the crew of Voyager in the alternate timeline before reaching Earth in 2394, including stealth technology, an ablative armor generator, transphasic torpedoes, as well as a neural interface and synaptic transceiver, all of which Admiral Janeway shared with the crew of Voyager in 2378.
