Once Again the State of the Union Makes a President StrongNews at Home
The State of the Union Address is Woodrow Wilson's gift to future presidents. President Thomas Jefferson submitted the annual update the Constitution mandated in writing, deeming presidential appearances before Congress too monarchical. In December 1913, after his first year in office, Wilson decided to address a joint session of Congress directly. Ninety-six-years and a little more than one month later, Barack Obama took full advantage of President Wilson's gift, appearing crisp and commanding after weeks when even the so-far-embarrassingly-pliant Washington press corps was starting to doubt Obama's allure.
The mathematics of the State of the Union enhance the dramatics. There stands the Commander in Chief – nowadays the Celebrity in Chief, too – flanked by his Vice President and the Speaker of the House. Things in Washington have become so staged that, this year, when Vice President Joseph Biden's purple tie matched Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's purple outfit observers wondered if their staffers coordinated their clothing. Everyone else crowded into the House of Representatives chamber is also reduced to a prop. Cabinet members, Supreme Court Justices, Generals of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 100 Senators, and 435 Representatives, sit in the well. America's legislators end up looking ridiculous not just diminished, as the members of the President's party bob up and down giving their leader repeated standing ovations and loud "Huzzahs!" while their rivals alternate between clapping begrudgingly and sitting in stony silence. The President wafts over the chaos, doling out his pearls of wisdom, as the people's representatives act like schoolkids engaged in locker-room antics.
These days, the magic of television magnifies the speech's power. The first State of the Union speech was broadcast on radio in 1923, and on television in 1947, benefitting Harry Truman as he began planning a 1948 campaign few thought he would win. Televising the speech further trivializes America's political elite because the President speaks past them to the real audience, the American people.
Obama started strong. His presence, his fluidity, his characteristic calm and charm, reminded Americans why they elected him. Rather than trying to play cute with the usual formulation – some variation at the beginning of "the state of our union is strong" – he acknowledged the economic "devastation" and Americans' "anxieties." Evoking the Civil War and World War II, the Great Depression and the Civil Rights Movement, he reminded Americans that, when tested before, they "answer[ed] history's call."
Obama quickly plunged into a much-needed defense of the bank bailout and his stimulus plan. In his most human moment, he acknowledged that Democrats and Republicans united in hating the bailout: "I hated it. You hated it. It was about as popular as a root canal." His stimulus defense appeared more substantive as he detailed the bill's accomplishments. But to avoid being too professorial, Obama failed to connect the dots, not quite explaining how that controversial bill actually created the jobs he enumerated.
On health care, Obama struck the right balance between being resolute and contrite. For a "Mr. Spock" type far more similar to George W. Bush in refusing to be self-critical than to the perpetually-apologetic Bill Clinton, Obama said: "I take my share of the blame for not explaining it [the health care reform] more clearly to the American people." As usual, Obama was better at restating the need for reform than justifying his particular prescription, but he used the power of the podium brilliantly in challenging the opposition, saying: "if anyone from either party has a better approach that will bring down premiums, bring down the deficit, cover the uninsured, strengthen Medicare for seniors and stop insurance company abuses, let me know." An uncomfortable silence reigned among the chastened Republicans, who seemed to shrink more.
Perhaps the night's most poignant moment came when America's political messiah of 2008 confessed his mortality in 2010. "I campaigned on the promise of change…," the Yes-we-can man said, "[b]ut remember this - I never suggested that change would be easy, or that I can do it alone. Democracy in a nation of three hundred million people can be noisy and messy and complicated." The President was half-right. Change is hard; but his campaign certainly implied it would be easy, which was part of its charm then, and explains the inevitable disappointment now.
Obama finished with a pep talk for partisans combined with the storyline he hopes will hold the independents. "We have finished a difficult year. We have come through a difficult decade," he said, once again bashing Bush. "But a new year has come. A new decade stretches before us. We don't quit. I don't quit," he roared, flashing the partisan steel he honed in Chicago's political wards. "Let's seize this moment -- to start anew, to carry the dream forward, and to strengthen our union once more."
For all the optics, one strong State of the Union address is not enough to redeem a presidency – it is too much of a "gimme," too much of a set up, to change history. But the 2010 State of the Union showed that the obituaries pronouncing Obama's political demise were premature. And his acknowledgment that "change" would not be easy was a rare understatement.

At the rate he is going, Obama will be so unpopular that he cannot even attempt to be renominated. Instead he will hang around annoying us for years as a condescending and insufferable ex-president, serving up tired old Marxist nostrums, long since discredited, to anyone who will listen.
He might serve to galvanize the Republicans into a strong majority again, which he is doing now, and I suppose that would actually make him a consequential historical figure.

I, too, generally like Dr. Troy's take on things although I regret that he seems to busy these days, he puts in no appearances under his own articles.
Because I'm a centrist and moderate, I find some of the extreme rhetoric directed at Barack Obama to be as baffling as that which was directed at George W. Bush. I've mentioned here on HNN previously that I believe some of the angst we're seeing these days comes from dissonance, from the fact that Americans, like all people, like praise but realize they could have done some things differently. How can we admit to being selfish when we're "the greatest people in the greatest nation in the world?" Better to look for someone, anyone to blame, it seems. Yet it's clear that the World War II generation and the Baby Boomers didn't handle their personal and political stewardship obligations very well. I keep thinking of that classic scene in one of my favorite films, On the Waterfront, when Marlon Brando's character, Terry, winces as he listens to his brother's excuses and tells him as they ride together in the taxicab, "It was you, Charlie. It was you."
David Brooks refers to the responsibility issue once again today. See
Brooks writes, "The odd thing is that when you turn to political life, we are living in an age of reverse-generativity. Far from serving the young, the old are now taking from them. First, they are taking money. According to Julia Isaacs of the Brookings Institution, the federal government now spends $7 on the elderly for each $1 it spends on children.
Second, they are taking freedom. In 2009, for the first time in American history, every single penny of federal tax revenue went to pay for mandatory spending programs, according to Eugene Steuerle of the Urban Institute. As more money goes to pay off promises made mostly to the old, the young have less control.
Third, they are taking opportunity. For decades, federal spending has hovered around 20 percent of G.D.P. By 2019, it is forecast to be at 25 percent and rising. The higher tax rates implied by that spending will mean less growth and fewer opportunities. Already, pension costs in many states are squeezing education spending.
In the private sphere, in other words, seniors provide wonderful gifts to their grandchildren, loving attention that will linger in young minds, providing support for decades to come. In the public sphere, they take it away."
Brooks believes it is up to ordinary citizens rather than the political classes to resolve some of the tensions. Still, he notes, "It may seem unrealistic — to expect a generation to organize around the cause of nonselfishness. But in the private sphere, you see it every day."
Tim Matthewson - 2/1/2010
I like the way that Troy has positioned Obama as a moderate faced by elements on the right and the left. I would take issued with Troy's claim in an earlier book that Reagan is a moderate, but he seems to be moving away from that position in this essay. Troy has written another very strong essay and has established himself as a major commentator on American politics.
Arnold Shcherban - 1/30/2010
as a President and a person of principle and integrity in practically all areas pertaining to his current political activity is real and undeniable.
However, it happened (which I predicted about half a year ago as happening) not because of his too liberal, "socialist" views and practice, but out of the lack of those along with indecisiveness, hesitation, and the narcissistic desire to be liked by all (or, at least, by a majority) parties involved, which pushed him onto the treacherous road of compromises on general principles that cannot be compromised on without
killing the main rationale of the suggested economic and social reforms.
Thus he presented himself as a typical centrist Democrat on domestic issues and hawkish Republican on the international ones, albeit with a soft rhetoric of an experienced demagogue. The left Democrats that foolishly believed his promise of a real change, especially in Washington politics, are greatly disappointed and feel cheated and the right Democrats together with Republicans fully realized that the President is too inexperienced, weak on ideological principles and in character, and therefore the democratic ideas he branded out to succeed in electoral campaign and timidly attempted to implement during the first half year of the presidency could be easily
resisted (and defeated) on all fronts.
By now, they are as good as defeated.
Maarja Krusten - 1/30/2010
Not really, it's just another mechanism. For example, the Presidential Records Act, with which my colleagues at the National Archives worked, set up releasae procedures for archival records. President Bush issued an Executive Order in 2002 to change one portion of its implementation. There were some members of Congress who tried to change it back during his term in office but the amending legislation never reached a floor vote. So there are various mechanism that are used to implement things in Washington. Not every action is done through statutory modification. The Bush E.O. in 2002 did not focus on national security. But the protection of national security information in government records has been affected both by legislative and presidential action since World War II.
James Daniel Beall - 1/30/2010
Ahh, thank you. That makes a bit more sense. Isn't he still skirting a decision made by the Senate?
Maarja Krusten - 1/30/2010
Please overlook the many typos, I really do need to manicure my fingernails. No disrespect intended to Dr. Troy or any of his readers, natch.
Maarja Krusten - 1/30/2010
No, no, not executive privilege, an executive order. Totally different thing. If your read the newspapers before the SOTU, you would seen plenty of reports about the fact that option one was a legislatively established commission and option two was a Presidentially estblished one through the executive order mechanism. Its iuse is very, very routine, presidents of both parties have been issuing such orders for decaces, nothing to be alarmed about.
Executive privilege is totally different as it relates to disclosure of information. I used to work as a federal archivist, we dealt with a lot of privilege related issues. As it happens, a "presidential communications privilege" exists as part of the Presidential Records Act mechanism. It does not cover national security in the PRA environment but can be applied to materials we archivists have been able to declassify or otherwise have cleared for disclosure. Nixon tried to claim privilege over a pretty wide range of things, including his effort to remove some Jewish employees from their positions at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. We were able to get that document released but it took some time. HNN being HNN, LOL, I'll put in my immunity statemen that I had voted for Nixon,
Hope this helps!
James Daniel Beall - 1/30/2010
Mr. Troy,
Did you get a Matthews-like "chill down your leg" during the speech? My overall impression of the speech was that he was nowhere near the powerful, energizing figure that emerged on the campaign trail. "An uncomfortable silence reigned among the chastened Republicans, who seemed to shrink more."? Really? So the Republicans had been pleasantly chatting during the speech, but at this moment of which you speak they became unusually silent? Likewise, I must applaud your incredible powers of perception as you witnessed the Republicans shrinking as they ceased their previously rude chatter.
You also mentioned the quote where Obama said, "I take my share of the blame for not explaining it [the health care reform] more clearly...." the president made 411 speeches during his first year in office. If it was possible to explain that 2,000 page monstrosity, he would have. God morphed into Einstein's body could not explain it to Voltaire.
The Republican Party DOES have a health care plan that covers more people than the Pelosi/Reid/Obama mess, at half the cost (you can actually find it online if you were one day inclined to seek the truth). The facts of this plan were even judged by the White House's own Budget Office to be what I've just stated.
You also mentioned the Jobs Bill I (better known as the Stimulus Plan). It failed. Do you know how I know? Because Obama is trying to push part II. The Stimulus Plan, by Obama's own barometer, was meant to create millions of new jobs and prevent unemployment from rising above 8% (oops). If your barometer for the Plan's success is unemployment and job creation, then IT'S A JOBS BILL. Following the logic, if the first $800 billion dollar Jobs Bill was a success, we would NOT need a second.
One point you failed to mention was Obama's attempt to scold and intimidate the other EQUAL AND SEPARATE branch of the government- the Supreme Court. Justice Alito mouthed (we think), "That's not true." Do you know why? Because Obama was LYING. He said the recent ruling opened the way for foreign businesses to affect elections, when the ruling expressly forbade it.
I will close with one last comment by the President that you failed to comment upon: Obama said the Senate recently voted down a bill (for the creation of an economic panel, I believe...someone can help me with the specifics on this), but that he was going to do it anyway by invoking Executive Privilege. Wow. When the Burger Court ruled on Executive Privilege, they stated it was to be used only for national security situations. Our elected representatives said "no," but Obama is going to do it anyway. can someone please explain "tyranny" to me?

Photo Gallery: Stylish Family Home Makeover
See before and after photos of a glam reno.
Red brick-coloured tiles and tatty carpeting on the stairs were just the beginning.
The front hall stank of cigarette smoke and was covered in wallpaper that "looked like the after-effects of a forest fire."
Update any space by painting out dark woodwork and replacing threadbare stair runners.
Hand-screened wallpaper in a monochromatic print makes a big statement in this front hallway. Painted woodwork instantly refreshes the room, while black stair treads and handrail play up the bold black-and-white colour scheme. A weathered bench and low-hung art create a focal point under the stairs, while mini hexagonal floor tiles add texture.
See the "before" photo in our Stylish Family Home Makeover gallery, plus other stunning before-and-after shots in our Bold Renovations gallery.
A simple fireplace with no personality.
Dark wood trim around the windows and baseboards were dating this space. Tanya knew that a fresh coat of paint, some new tiles and punchy furniture would easily update her living room.
A bright and lively living room.
New recessed lighting, a leaded-glass window and mini floral mosaic tiles on the fireplace surround gave the tired, wood-trimmed living room new life. Fashionable chairs upholstered in a kelly-green trellis print are the perfect companions to a simple white sofa.
See the "before" photo in our Stylish Family Home Makeover gallery.
A white frame and heavy fabric was much too 1950s.
When Tanya first bought the home, drapes and sheers were layered in front of the large living room window at the front of the house, preventing natural light from seeping in.
Paint window frames for a contemporary hit.
The window got an instant update with black paint. No need to hide this beauty behind drapery; Tanya chose a demure roller blind instead to let the black frame take centre stage.
A narrow work area and enclosed floor plan was impractical for a busy family of four.
Old cabinets, dated laminate flooring and bulky appliances made this room feel smaller than it really was.
Sleek, glossy white cabinets add a modern touch.
The kitchen has a mix of materials, including stainless steel, enamelled cabinets, ceramic tile and black marble. The 10-foot marble-topped peninsula on the right was a splurge, but worth it. By knocking down the wall above the peninsula — which divided the kitchen from the dining room — the homeowners were able to create an entertaining space, one of the most popular hubs of the house.
See the "before" photo in our Stylish Family Home Makeover gallery, plus other stunning before-and-after shots in our Bold Renovations gallery.
An unused space in need of an update.
The bare patio doors off the dining room were not worth being displayed, and loads of light made the room too hot.
Vibrant colour, pattern and texture appeal to adults and kids alike.
An heirloom coffee table was sprayed bright purple to give it a new modern personality. A raspberry-pink wall defines the office area, tucked neatly into a small nook.
See the "before" photo in our Stylish Family Home Makeover gallery, plus see more pink spaces in our Decorating With Pink photo gallery.
Black paint is a daring choice when paired with dark floors.
The dining room's ebony-hued wall emphasizes the silhouette of a sculptural lamp. The purple rug links the space to the adjacent multicoloured family room.
When faced with odd angles, keep the walls bare.
Symmetry is key in Tanya's contemporary bedroom. To keep the space interesting, she mixed prints and textures while keeping with the black-and-white scheme. Raw wood side tables and benches are casual and warm.
Display fashion accessories for pops of colour.
In the same room, an heirloom chair updated with yellow fabric is an elegant contrast to the modern makeup table. The shallow offset shelves turn handbags into art.
Create a nursery that will grow with your child.
Chalkboard paint allows Tanya's son Eddie — once he's old enough — to draw on walls without rebuke. Painted iron moose antlers is a humorous art piece that doubles as hook storage.
White tiles brighten a small bathroom.
Iron sconces and a Moroccan mirror add edge to the clean-lined basement bathroom. A reflective drawer unit and chrome fixtures give the illusion of a bright, sparkling room.
Hide clutter under the basement stairs.
In Tanya Linton's home, every spare nook is used for extra storage. With two small boys running around, baskets are ideal for hiding toys and knickknacks. In a small corner, a stack of books and magazines doubles as a side table to a painted chair.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) -- Browns coach Pat Shurmur made one thing clear: rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden must eliminate interceptions.
Weeden has thrown 12 picks, tying two other QBs for the second-highest total in the NFL this season behind Dallas' Tony Romo (13). The 29-year-old Weeden and the Browns (2-7) visit the Cowboys (4-5) on Sunday.
Shurmur said there's a fine line between being aggressive and careless with the football. He has reviewed all of Weeden's interceptions and said "there were times when he could have made better decisions." Shurmur believes Weeden can become an "outstanding" NFL quarterback and to be one "he's got to lead us to victories and don't throw as many interceptions."
Weeden has completed 185 of 336 passes for 2,088 yards and nine touchdowns. His passer rating is 67.9 -- ahead of only two QBs.

TransLink officials apologize for long SkyTrain shutdown
A shutdown of the SkyTrain system between Burnaby and Surrey disrupted service for thousands of passengers during Thursday's evening commute and wasn't fully fixed for more than three hours.
A failure of the main control computer that communicates with trains was blamed.
All SkyTrain service was frozen at 5 p.m. and TransLink officials said they had limited service restored at 5:50 between Waterfront and Metrotown on the Expo Line and from VCC-Clark to Lougheed on the Millennium Line.
But soon after that, frustrated passengers on other trains that were still stuck began forcing the doors open and making their way out to stations along the tracks – triggering an automated system-wide shutdown.
Security and Transit Police assisted passengers to ensure safety and SkyTrain attendants manually drove trains back to stations, but it took until 6:45 before all passengers were off the trains and began taking buses or finding a different way home, according to TransLink.
Officials said the computer problem was fixed at 8:15 and trains then started to move but remained heavily backed for until about 9:30.
Spokesperson Jiana Ling said SkyTrain service would have been restored faster if passengers had not exited trains and walked on the guideways, which she said is a safety risk due to the high-voltage electricity.
A bus bridge carried passengers from Metrotown to King George Station, but Ling said TransLink had limited spare buses to add because it was rush hour.
"We apologize to our customers for this unusual incident, which caused parts of our SkyTrain system to be out of service for such a lengthy period of time," said Fred Cummings, president of TransLink's B.C. Rapid Transit Co. subsidiary.
"Our people worked as quickly as they could to look after our passengers who were affected."
The incident ignited a firestorm of criticism on social media.
"I was stuck on a SkyTrain for an hour and 50 minutes tonight," Ashley Ouelette posted on TransLink's Facebook page. "What happens if someone suffers a medical emergency on a SkyTrain in this situation?"
"My poor mom has to take a taxi from Metrotown to Surrey cause of the SkyTrain problem," tweeted @zoeylynngauvin. "She should receive a refund @TransLink, ridiculous!"
TransLink says it can't issue refunds yet – it may be possible to credit or compensate passengers for major disruptions in the future once the delayed Compass card system is working.

I appreciate your reply, and understanding, Ben. It's funny that it can be looked at in a Dhammic way. Life keeps forcing me to let go, for my own well-being in fact! First I had to accept that 'gone are the days of close connectedness of when she was my sweet little girl'. There came this day where I just let go and accepted it, even celebrated it in the sense that, this is part of the journey of growing up - it had to happen.Ben wrote:Hi Manasikara

Thanks for your input Stefan. I need to make sure that compassion is in my heart as I deal with her, even while I set and enforce clear boundaries of acceptable behaviour. (It certainly would not be very compassionate in the long run, if I just let her treat me badly and have no consequence, however!) And here is the challenge for me: to enforce the boundaries without aversion in the mind (as it's not a pleasant task), but rather with compassion in the mind. Thanks, I will try and remember that.Stefan wrote:This too will pass...
As a child I was a very good kid, but I had a troubled adolescence, which did cause problems to my family. Now all that has gone as if it never existed. So, yes things will change and come back to normal, you just have to be patient.
Teenagers are confused and troubled, they crave independence and seek acceptance. By their nature they are rebellious. Put yourself in her shoes. She needs compassion and understanding from you.
That's my take anyway.
May you and your daughter be happy!

It's all too complicated so I'm going to simplify it. My first idea is that we need to go out more and do more activites, bowling, indoor rock climbing, anything that will get us out of the house and into something interesting. That's my plan for the coming weekend. And not to expect too much from her. She is the way she is...I'm the way I am...we might not always like each other, but there is a deep and enduring love there, deep down...I'm going to keep that in mind next time she is yelling at me at the top of her lungs...or maybe, I will just 'know: loud and unpleasant sound'...
Plus I'm making a paved walking meditation track outside. When I need to get out of the house and just pace about a little, I will know where to go...

Beside the good plan about outdoor activities, make sure the next time she does this to you, be very firm and clear to her that this behavior is absolutely un-acceptable and will not be tolerated. Everytime you walk away from this, you virtually help her re-inforce a very negative habit. And when somethings' became a habit, it'd be very difficult to fix it later on. Use whatever appropriate disciplinary actions to make sure she's learned her lesson. A tough dad and a compassionate dad dont' have to be mutually exclusive. She might not appreciate it now, but later on in life, the disciplines you taught her will be invaluable to her adulthood life, whether graduating from college, finding a job, getting married, dealing with other people, etc..There're countless instances about young adults who're living messed-up adult life just because their parents spoiled them when they were kids. Who do you think companies would hire between 2 college graduates: a spoiled brat or a nice decent one?

CAPISTRANO BEACH – Juliet Levin has a vivacious personality at 107 years old. She has a hard time seeing and hearing because of macular degeneration, but other than that, she has not had major illnesses.
Her son, Stan, said that up until a year ago. Levin was active in her care center. She was a fan of bingo and trivia; she began memorizing her bingo card's numbers after losing her sight and could answer all her trivia questions correctly.
"I didn't know that much," she responded to Stan's compliments during a small birthday get-together at Capistrano Beach Care Center.
A birthday banner, family pictures and stuffed animals filled one side of the room, next to her wedding picture and a portrait of her and Stan that stood on her dresser. Greetings cards and photos of milestones in her life — like her 100th birthday — were pinned to a corkboard beside her bed. Levin's head darted around the room, tuning in on relatives' and friends' conversations.
She always was known in many circles for being intelligent and full of life, friends say. She golfed until she was 88, began using a computer at 89, and celebrated her bat mitzvah (which were not available in 1919) at 95 She was an expert typist and served as board secretary at her previous retirement home, Heritage Point in Mission Viejo.
After learning how to use the computer, she mastered WordPerfect and made birthday cards using clip-art programs. Using a computer, she transcribed several hundred letters written while her husband, Abe Levin, was in the military into four 1-inch bound volumes.
Juliet was born Juliet Rosenfeld on March 24, 1906, in New York City and moved at an early age to St. Louis. She was a tennis player and swimmer in high school, and after graduation, she worked at a phone company for 20 years. She married Abe in 1938 and they were together until his death in 2001.
Her earliest memory is from age 6, when her father would send her with a nickel and a bucket to the corner tavern, then let her scoop the foam off the top of the beer when she returned. Also, she remembers her dad brewing beer in their bathtub at home during Prohibition, and the loud pop that caps on bottles of fermenting beer would make at night when her father would store beer bottles under his bed.
Certified nursing assistant Adolfo Botelo, who also cared for Abe, described the couple as wonderful and sweet. Wendy Levin, Stan's wife, and Botelo said Juliet had an affinity for fashion and always dressed to the nines. She looks very young for her age, and, until last year, insisted on wearing Clinique makeup.
"If she doesn't look good, she would not let me take her to the dining hall," Botelo laughed.
Stan Levin said his mother participates in a genetic study being conducted by Boston University focusing on centenarians and anti-aging elements. Juliet's brother, David, from Richmond, Va., lived up to be almost 101, and her mother lived until 100. At 96, Juliet flew to Richmond to visit her brother for his 100th birthday. Levin's cousins, now in their 80s, also make it a point Skype with Levin on her birthday.
"I've got a shot at partial immortality," said Stan Levin, who turns 70 in November.

Q. I have to cross the railroad tracks along Orangethorpe Avenue every weekday to get to work, so my major heartburn stems from the long freight trains that run during the morning and evening commute times, holding up traffic. Couldn't they travel overnight instead?
– Mary Fazioli, Yorba Linda
A. While you and other commuters consume Tums while held hostage in your cars by rush-hour freight trains, just as many residents near the tracks swallow Ambian to stay asleep while the freight trains rumble throughout the night. Now's the time to buy stock in pharmaceutical companies, because the train traffic will only increase.
"Close to 70 Burlington Northern Santa Fe trains use the Orangethorpe corridor in Anaheim, Fullerton and Placentia every day," wrote OCTA spokesman Joel Zlotnik in a recent press release. "More trains, and longer ones, are coming; an estimated 130 trains daily by 2030."
On the other hand, think about what BNSF spokesman Steve Forsberg has to say.
"BNSF operates more than 1,000 trains every 24 hours through more than 3,000 communities in 28 states and two Canadian provinces," Forsberg says. "We could not deliver the billions of tons of freight we haul each year without operating 24 hours a day, just as airports and our highway system need to be available to accommodate the traffic it carries 24 hours a day. And just as an airline operates flights at certain times in response to customer needs, railroads also operate trains in response to the needs of our customers."
Forsberg says that BNSF hauls the equivalent of millions of truckloads of freight each year – consuming far less fuel with significantly fewer emissions than if it had been moved exclusively on the highway by truck.
What this means for us commuters is that, thanks to the freight trains, we have far less 18-wheelers to slow our path on the way to work. That's some relief.
Q. There are some reflective traffic lights that are very difficult to see what color is lit until you are right under them. Prime offending intersections are Orangethorpe/Tustin avenues and Yorba Linda Boulevard /Casa Loma Avenue. Why are these lights hard to see?
– Judy Kopriva, Placentia
A. "When two traffic signals are very close to each other, we use special programmed-visibility traffic signals to make the intersection safer," says Tony Wang, the traffic engineering manager for Yorba Linda. "We don't want drivers to see the 'far-side' signal until they pass the 'near-side' signal. This (is) to prevent drivers from only seeing the far-side green light while overlooking the near-side red light and running it."

Monday kicked off Colorado Literacy Week, led by Lt. Governor Joe Garcia each May to encourage continued reading through the summer and to learn about best practices. Throughout the state, Garcia is visiting early childhood through secondary programs, after-school programs, special education programs, home interventions, libraries, and book giveaways, and meeting with educators and superintendents.
Of special note this week was the Lt. Governor's Monday afternoon visit to a highly successful program at Godsman Elementary School in Denver that promotes not only literacy, but biliteracy in Spanish and English. In partnership with the CU-Boulder's BUENO Center for Multicultural Education, the school has fully integrated the Literacy Squared® model. As a result, Godsman has achieved impressive reading and writing gains in both Spanish and English that have outpaced the district and the state.
Developed by Professor Kathy Escamilla, Literacy Squared uses research-based strategies to develop biliteracy. As Escamilla explains, "Literacy Squared has four components: research, professional development, assessment, and instruction. Its intent is to develop and empirically test new knowledge and theory about how to nurture the development of biliteracy in Spanish/English emerging bilinguals in U.S. schools."
Lt. Governor Garcia noted the strong reading and writing skills of Godsman students as they practiced Literacy Squared strategies in both bilingual and English-only classrooms. Afterwards, Garcia and Escamilla, Dean Shepard, Professor Lucinda Soltero-González, and Program Director Sandra Butvilofsky, all of the CU-Boulder School of Education, discussed the ways in which the program has helped students to develop a strong command of English while drawing on their first languages and developing full biliteracy.
As Butvilofsky notes, "The teachers at Godsman have worked hard to implement Literacy Squared strategies, and have seen the benefits of doing so. Teachers have asked, 'Is there anything like Literacy Squared for math? We have seen our kids really learn using Literacy Squared strategies.'"
Godsman first and third graders were thrilled to share their love of reading and writing with their Lt. Governor, who continues to emphasize early literacy as a state priority.
By Kristen Davidson, CU-Boulder School of Education

Not sure what you're getting at unless you're claiming I was a pussy for leaving. So he didn't want to fight me, and the game was over as everyone was leaving to avoid getting shot, but I was supposed to wait for him to walk home and come back?
I actually fought a guy who pulled a gun on me and a girl and was shot in the ribs in the process saving the girl I was with from harm (hence the name I chose xBulletproof, because I am still alive), and I can tell you nobody is a pussy for avoiding that if possible. Trust me. A bullet bouncing inside your ribs is a feeling I can't even describe. However if you're implying I'm a pussy for leaving because I ran from the situation, you've completely picked the wrong guy.
A lurker here who rarely posts can confirm this btw, I've known flibertygibits almost my whole life.

Much respect XB! Back to the original post, accidental elbow to the nose, flattening it.
"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."
What did I do to get brought into the this?

Ha. It's the internet, I was waiting for what felt like the inevitable "omg you're making stuff up to sound like you're tough" argument. That's all. Preemptive strike.
Michael Christenson of Yakima said he was only trying to illustrate a point to a small group of Highland High School students and parents about the need for better basketball officials.
To his surprise and dismay, however, the video he uploaded of several hard fouls during the Cowiche school's boys game at Connell on Dec. 22 has gone viral, collecting more than 25,000 hits since the video was posted on YouTube on Dec. 28.
The video, which is just over 5 minutes long, showcases two imposing Connell players -- seniors Cole Vanderbilt and Kennan VanHollebeke -- committing six personal fouls during a 38-37 home win over the Scots.
Because of the physical nature of the fouls, particularly those committed by Vanderbilt, the video, "Flagrant foul no-calls Highland @ Connell 12/22/11," has drawn considerable attention. Several of the 87 comments are negative, even cruel, in nature.
"(No.) 34 (Vanderbilt) should be a wrestler. Totally unacceptable," wrote one poster.
"(No.) 34 looks like a football player. He doesn't seem to be any asset to the team other than to beat down players on the other team," wrote another.
Vanderbilt, at 6-foot-3, 280 pounds, and VanHollebeke, at 6-4, 235, both played offensive and defensive line on the Eagles' 1A state-championship football team in the fall. Both are listed as centers on the basketball team.
After Christenson uploaded the video to Facebook, he transferred it to YouTube. A day later, it was picked up by guyism.com and posted under the heading, "VIDEO: The dirtiest basketball player in America."
That couldn't be any further from the truth, according to Vanderbilt's grandmother, Karen Vanderbilt of Connell.
"He's a nice, young student in high school," she said of her grandson, who couldn't be reached for comment.
Vanderbilt has taken the negative attention to heart, but his team has rallied to support him, said Connell coach Oscar Garza.
"He's a tough kid, but those that know him know he's a teddy bear," Garza said. "My 7-year-old son loves him and lights up when he's around. But on (YouTube) he's the world's meanest, ugliest kid. It's not fair, but I just want him to know his teammates and coaches are behind him."
The role of social media in high school sports is a complicated one, and there is little control over who can post what on the internet and where the information goes from there.
"Everybody has the right to their opinion. Not everybody thinks about all the consequences about what their actions will be," Eagles' Athletic Director Steve Frucci said. "It goes to show what can happen in today's day and age. Whoever can afford that technology can do anything they want."
Christenson, 32, said that his intention was not for the video to go much further than the small community outside Yakima that surrounds the basketball program. His nephew, Tanner Christenson, plays guard for the Scots.
After posting it online so Highland players could see it, he said he could no longer control the direction in which the video would head.
"Thinking about it now, I maybe could have contacted the WIAA (Washington Interscholastic Activities Association) first, but I wasn't expecting this," he said. "It wasn't my intention to single (Vanderbilt) out. If you look closely at my video, his name is never mentioned. What I wanted to single out was the officiating. If they do their jobs, there are no hard fouls and no video."
David Pierce, a 30-year veteran of the Tri-Cities Sports Officials Association, took issue with Christenson's contention, saying the referees did their job during the game.
"There were no problems and no fights. It's getting painted as flagrant fouls or intentional fouls, but it doesn't have anything to do with that," Pierce said. "The guy took a camera and jaded it. He didn't show the whole game. He showed six plays."
Garza said the game was a physical one that pushed some boundaries as far as trash talking, and his players responded. He said each of the fouls occurred in the game's first 10 minutes, but the game settled down from there.
"There was a lot of heckling going on. After the first 10 minutes, Kennan had two fouls and Colt had three. I took them out and calmed them down," he said. "They played just as hard in the second half and only had one foul."

Two more follow ups:
The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association released a statement Thursday afternoon about the video of a Highland-Connell basketball game featuring multiple hard fouls.
The statement reads:
"WIAA statement concerning the Connell-Highland Basketball game that was played on Dec. 22nd:
The WIAA is currently working with the two schools, officials and Washington Officials Association on the situation. The WIAA has the utmost concern for the safety of the student-athletes and the welfare of the game."
The video shows Connell's Cole Vanderbilt and Kennan VanHollebeke delivering some hard fouls, some of which could be considered flagrant or intentional, according to some school officials.
The video was posted by Michael Christenson of Yakima, an uncle of Highland's Tanner Christenson. Michael Christenson told the Tri-City Herald on Wednesday that he wasn't expecting the video to go viral. The video has been linked by Yahoo! Sports and Deadspin.
Christenson emailed a copy of the video and demands for action to nine Tri-City Herald employees. He also used a Twitter account to send the video to the NCAA, ESPN, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Tony Kornheiser, Mike Wilbon, TNT's Kenny Smith, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith and Jim Rome. The Twitter account has since been deleted.
The video has drawn a variety of criticisms online, with many commentators branding Vanderbilt as a bully.

__________________________________________________ ___
After hard week, Connell just plays ball
BURBANK -- After more than a week of playing on computer screens across the world, the Connell boys basketball team played on hardwood Friday.
The Eagles, minus Cole Vanderbilt, played their first game since a video showing Vanderbilt and Kennan VanHollebeke committing six hard fouls went viral on the internet.
Connell lost 47-35 at Columbia-Burbank in an uneventful Southeast Central Athletic Conference East division game played in front of about 1,500, as Connell fans flocked to the gym in support.
"The community is injured; wounded right now," said Michael Davidson, whose son plays for Connell. "The truth is we have wonderful people in that community. I'm proud to be from Connell. I'm proud to raise my family there."
While Connell rallied around the players featured in the video, the uproar caused by the YouTube video which shows six plays from a Dec. 22 Highland-Connell game continued to swirl.
From hate emails to school officials to countless phone calls to the Vanderbilt family to Facebook pages dedicated to the pair to a fake Twitter account in one of the player's names, the controversy raged for another day.
"There were some things there that can't be excused," Davidson said of the Dec. 22 game against the Cowiche team. "You can't defend some of those fouls, but it's over. No one got killed. No one got injured.
"Reading the comments, the whole thing has been blown out of proportion."
Friday's game went off without a hitch. VanHollebeke received the biggest cheer from the large Connell contingent, which outnumbered the Burbank side.
The game was called evenly by the officials, as the Eagles were called for 16 fouls and the Coyotes 13. VanHollebeke fouled out with 5:52 left in the game, after knocking Nathan Roberts to the ground. VanHollebeke immediately helped him up and hustled off the floor.
"I've been playing them my whole life," Columbia-Burbank's Heath Lawrence said.
"They play good, tough basketball. They don't mean anything."
Vanderbilt did not travel to the game and it is not known if he will play again this season. Connell coaches were told by school district officials not to speak to the media.
Earlier Friday, Yakima's Michael Christenson -- who made the video of the fouls and posted it to YouTube -- said by email that he sent the video to the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association on Dec. 29. Christenson is the uncle of a Highland player.
Christenson emailed it to Cindy Adsit, the assistant executive director at the WIAA, which oversees all high school athletics and activities in the state.
Adsit told Christenson in an email to him on Jan. 2 that she would forward the video to the local officials' association and the Connell athletic director.
She couldn't be reached for comment.
Christenson did release a statement Friday, saying he hoped internet commentators would stop the personal attacks against the players.
"These young men are not the reason I made the video public. Did the players make some mistakes on the court? Yes. Do I feel there were several other people involved with this game that could have stepped in to avoid such dangerous fouls? Absolutely. They did not however, and that is the real issue here. Player safety was not a priority in this basketball game.
"I ask that people who view the video refrain from making any personal attacks against the players and their families, and not lose sight of the real issue here. I hope the WIAA will make changes that ensure player safety for all of our high school student-athletes in the future."
North Franklin School District Superintendent Gregg Taylor told the Herald on Thursday that he met with the team and the coaches and discussed the situation earlier this week. He is not anticipating doling out any further punishment.

I'm glad this ADULT'S grandmother thinks he is a nice young man in high school.
Doesn't change the fact that I think he's dirty. Acting like those plays were "taken out of context" or "jaded" is absurd. Kermit Washington's punch on Rudy T was taken out of context too I guess.
I did not catch it at first, but anyone else find it off this kid did not want the video to go viral, just tweeted it to ESPN?
E-thugs need e-hugs.
The last post was too much so I deleted it. So I'll simply sum it up like this. There's a huge difference between being willing to defend yourself and being a thug.
I was a victim of the "thug" who tried to kill me to keep me from calling to report the car wreck he caused because he had drugs in his car. I will defend myself whether it be from a fat kid on a basketball court trying to hurt someone, or some actual thug who tries to kill me to protect his drugs from being found by the police.
If that makes me a thug as well to you, then so be it. Nothing I can do about that. Yet being the victim of an attempted murder over nothing of my own fault and then to have some wanna be smart *** behind a PC imply that I'm any type of thug because I'm willing to defend myself? Wow. Awesome. I'll remind the girl, or her family of that the next time they thank me for saving her life.
It's funny to be called an 'e-thug' from someone who's willing to sit behind his PC and lob insults, and jokes about me personally that you wouldn't make in person, doesn't that make you the internet tough guy? I know you wouldn't say it in person because anyone I tell the story to, and they see the scars all over my body from it never react that way. On the internet though, someone always has to act that way. So way to be a hypocrite, internet tough guy.

I thought it was a pretty funny line.
I'm only advocating hugs. Who could be against hugs? Besides thugs. Which is why they need hugs.
Are you anti-hug?
1, 3 and 5 should have him thrown off the team. ****!! MY HIGH SCHOOL THREW OFF A GUY FOR A FLASHY DUNK ON A RIVAL SCHOOL'S COURT!!!

How to make your first public appearances after a lot of personal difficulties? With a terrific sense of humor and looking hotter than ever in a series of sexy little black dresses, if you are Sandra Bullock. For her surprise appearance at Saturday's Spike TV Guy's Choice Awards in L.A., Bullock wore a slim-fitting short-sleeved leather dress by Elie Saab, which she jokingly referred to while accepting her award for Troops Choice for Entertainer of the Year. "I would sing," said the star, addressing the servicemen who voted for the honor. "But you've seen enough pain in your lifetime. I would dance — I'm a pretty good dancer — but…the dress is pretty tight." Then for last night's MTV Movie Awards, the 45-year-old beauty chose another stunning little black dress–a glimmering, plunging-back mini by Oday Shakar. While Bullock, with her hair pulled back in a chic, long ponytail, looked absolutely flawless on stage, her Proposal costar Betty White had just one piece of sage fashion advice for the star: "Honey, don't ever wear that dress backwards." –Marissa Patlingrao Cooley

The Big Reds have captured 21 state championships while cross-town rival South has 18 crowns, including the past four titles. Point Pleasant has recently been the one to beat in AA-A, taking the last three state championships.You can throw all of that out of the window with the No. 4 Big Blacks moving up to AAA to join Huntington, which is No. 1 in the final state coaches association-wvmat.com poll, No. 2 South, No. 3 Parkersburg, No. 5 Washington, No. 6 Ripley, No. 7 Musselman and No. 8 Shady Spring, which also jumped to AAA. The meet begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Huntington and continues Friday and Saturday."It's going to be a tough state tournament this year,'' said Point coach John Bonecutter. "There's going to be a lot of parity. I think it could be as little as four or five points separating four or five teams. I think Huntington is your clear-cut favorite."Parkersburg South has won four in a row. You've got a slew of other teams there that will be battling for the other top spots. Those teams might not be playing for the team title, but they're going to have a say. Every time you step to the line it's going to be a battle.''In AA-A, with Point's departure, the door is wide open for No. 1 Greenbrier West, No. 2 East Fairmont, No. 3 Wirt County, No. 4 Independence and No. 5 Clay County, No. 6 Fairmont Senior and No. 7 North Marion.Point failed to win its region this year as Huntington took the AAA Region 4 title and qualified wrestlers in all 14 weight classes while the Big Blacks qualified a dozen. The top four individual finishers at regionals advance to states."I don't think we're the favorite this weekend,'' Bonecutter said. "It's not out of the realm of possibility. The kids are still working hard, battling and competing. This has been a very trying year. We've had a variety of things this year. Sickness, injuries and a few other things going on. If it's not been one thing it's been something else."I think we're a stronger team now for it. It's difficult to deal with, but anytime in life in general and face adversity and conquer it you grow stronger. I'm proud of our team. I wouldn't want to go to battle with anybody else. We really didn't have anything left to prove in AA. This is a new set of challenges for us and I'm excited about it. You always want to keep everything fresh and challenge yourself.''The Highlanders are hoping this is their year after finishing third last year, second in 2011 and third in 2010."This is one of the few years where you have two defending state champions in the same division,'' said Huntington coach Rob Archer. "It's made it even deeper. In my opinion they've done it and we haven't. That's how I'm thinking about it."We're still the underdog in my mind. I think we have a chance. I've felt like that the last three years. This group has been through this. They know how close it's going to be and how important bonus points are going to be.''There will be several other players determining the AAA team title.South, the AAA Region 1 champ, qualified 12 of 14 grapplers while runner-up Parkersburg had 11 qualifiers. Ripley won AAA Region 3 but only qualified nine of 14 positions while runner-up Shady Spring had 11 positions filled for states. Washington was the Region 2 titlist with 11 qualifiers while runner-up Musselman also had 11."It's very equal this year,'' said Archer. "A lot of weight classes are jam-packed. There's eight or nine kids that can place top six and four or five kids that can win it. It's just going to be whoever wrestles the hardest and reaches their potential will win it as a team. The ones who fold under pressure won't be in the hunt.'' The Kanawha Valley doesn't sport anyone challenging for the overall team championship in either of the two classes, but plenty will be at stake with George Washington and Winfield in AAA and Herbert Hoover in AA-A hoping to break into the top 10. Several grapplers from the Valley will also have a chance at individual glory.Winfield sophomore Bryce Humphreys captured the region title at 126 while junior Jimmy Clark took the 160 crown. Winfield's contingent also includes senior Isaac Reed (145, second), junior Chris Cochran (113, third) and senior Zach Richardson (182, second).Hurricane sophomore Sky Steadman (120, fourth), junior Chantz Rankin (132, fourth), Jeremy Francis (152, second), senior Zach Cooper (160, fourth) and junior Mitchell Fitzgerald (285, third) also advanced to states. Nitro sophomore David Smith won the region crown at 285 while junior Ryan Walters (195, third) and sophomore Hunter Skeens (220, third) also moved on.George Washington senior Jake Smith, who was the state champion at 145 last year, is trying to win it all at 160 this time where he won the region title. Patriots junior Jensen Loria (126) also captured the region crown while freshman Sam Moore (106, third), sophomore David Pancake (120, second) and junior Jack Skidmore (285, second) also advanced.Capital freshman Christian Price (113, fourth) and Kavin Kincaid (126, fourth), sophomore Desean Reed (145, fourth), junior Pat Vance (182, second) and freshman Tyler Burke (285, fourth) are in the mix. Riverside junior Vince Hunt (132, fourth), senior Justin Burke (160, fourth), junior Chase Hanshaw (195, second) and South Charleston freshman Fred Crosier (152, fourth) also qualified.In AA-A, Hoover had one region champ in junior Zane Weese (220) and qualified seniors Camren Duncan (113, fourth), Justin Duncan (120, fourth), Brady Dye (182, second) and Richard Woods (285). Sissonville senior Nick Lane (145, third) and Buffalo junior Kyle Frazier (195, second) also qualified. nn The AA-A field will also have several teams battling it out for the team title.North Marion beat out East Fairmont for the AA-A Region 1 championship. The Bees qualified nine of 14 positions while the Huskies had 10 of 14. Fairmont Senior and Oak Glen were right behind with nine qualifiers apiece.Greenbrier West won the Region 3 title with 12 of 14 positions filled, as did runner-up Independence. Clay won its first regional, claiming Region 4 by 31/2 points over runner-up Wirt County. The Panthers qualified 11 of 14 while the Tigers had 10 move on.Reach Tommy R.

Juicy, peppery beef burgers are stuffed with Pecorino Romano cheese and topped with earthy, rustic ketchup.
Growing, up in Eastern Oregon, an agricultural based economy, Ilived near apple orchards and feedlots. One of my first jobs was with a migrant crew weeding onion fields.
These burgers are great local American burgers because they were inspired by a memorable meal my husband and I shared at a local, classic American chophouse - outstanding peppercorn-crusted beef co

TPWD Discounts Online Entries in Big Time Texas Hunts
AUSTIN, Texas — The Lone Star State boasts some of the finest hunting anywhere in the country, and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Big Time Texas Hunts offer hunters a chance to experience the best of the best.
Tommy H. Bridgers would agree. Last year, the 65-year-old steel plate fabricator from Duncanville was selected the Big Time Texas Hunts winner in the Texas Grand Slam category.
"They advertise this as a hunt of a lifetime and I would agree," exclaimed Bridgers upon returning from three days of hunting desert bighorn sheep in the rugged mountains of West Texas. "This was probably the most physically demanding hunt I've ever been on, but it was also the most rewarding. I would never have the resources to buy a desert bighorn hunt, so I got mine the lucky way!"
The Big Time Texas Hunts program offers the opportunity to win one or more top guided hunts with food and lodging provided, as well as taxidermy in some cases. The crown jewel of the program is the Texas Grand Slam hunt package, which includes four separate hunts for Texas' most prized big game animals — the desert bighorn sheep, white-tailed deer, mule deer and pronghorn antelope. There are several quality whitetail hunt packages available, as well as opportunities to pursue alligator, exotic big game, waterfowl and upland game birds.
Entries for the Big Time Texas Hunt drawings are $10 each and are available wherever hunting licenses are sold or by calling 800-895-4248. They may also be purchased online this year at a discounted price of $9 each. There is no limit to the number of entries an individual may purchase, and entries may be given as gifts for others. Purchasers must be 17 years of age or older.
"This is something I've participated in over the last five years, but I never gave it a thought that I'd win," said Bridgers. "It has really added a new aspect to my hunting and just goes to show sometimes good things happen."
Proceeds from the Big Time Texas Hunts are dedicated to providing more public hunting opportunity and to funding wildlife conservation and research programs in Texas.
Here's a summary of the Big Time Texas Hunts offerings:
- The Texas Grand Slam — This truly is the hunt of a lifetime. The bighorn sheep hunt is very exclusive; TPWD issues only a handful of permits a year. The bighorn sheep hunt takes place on a West Texas Wildlife Management Area. The other three hunts included in the Texas Grand Slam will be on some of the most exclusive private ranches in the state. The winner may also bring along a non-hunting companion to share in this awesome outdoor adventure.
- Texas Whitetail Bonanza — 10 winners will each get to experience a high-quality white-tailed deer hunt, something legendary to Texas on popular ranches known to produce big bucks. Guide service, food and lodging are provided on these 3-5-day trips during hunting season. Each winner can also bring along a companion to hunt as well.
- Texas Gator Hunt — One winner and a guest will enjoy a rare and unique three-day trip pursuing alligators at the J. D. Murphree Wildlife Management Area on the Gulf Coast. Each hunter may harvest one alligator. All necessary equipment, expert guides, lodging and gator hide removal are included. The winner and guest will also be treated to an airboat tour of the marsh to view alligators.
- Texas Waterfowl Adventure — One winner and as many as three invited guests will win a series of three exciting waterfowl adventures. The hunts are located on some of the best waterfowl areas in Texas. Trips include a Coastal Prairies guided hunt for snows, blues and white-fronted geese; a guided duck hunt in the Coastal Marshes; and an East Texas hunt for wood ducks and mallards.
- Texas Exotic Safari — Two winners will experience the thrill of hunting African exotic game right here in Texas on the Mason Mountain Wildlife Management Area in the Texas Hill Country. Each winner can take two exotic species, including, gemsbok, scimitar-horned oryx and impala. Hunters may choose to shoot modern rifle, muzzleloader, archery or crossbow. Winners can also bring along a companion to hunt a management exotic. Food and lodging will be provided at the scenic Mason Mountain WMA lodge. Taxidermy service will be provided for the two winners. Proceeds go to benefit wildlife conservation and research on Mason Mountain WMA.
- Texas Big Time Bird Hunt — One winner along with as many as three hunting buddies will enjoy a unique package of upland game bird hunts: two days of quail, two days of pheasant hunting in the Panhandle and two afternoons of dove hunting. There will also be a two-day guided spring turkey hunt for two included in the package. Food, guide service and lodging are included on all bird hunts, and pointing dogs are provided for quail and pheasant hunts.
- Texas Premium Buck Hunt — This is the ultimate deer hunting experience-an opportunity to harvest a trophy white-tailed buck in the rugged South Texas brush country. One winner and a guest will enjoy the finest deer hunting trip that Texas can offer. Professional guide service, food and high quality accommodations are included to provide each hunter comfort as well as great hunting.
The deadline to apply for this year's Big Time Texas Hunts is Oct. 15. Winners will be announced in November.

I deliberately tried with the non-benchmark of running the core regression tests, because I was curious about process startup as well as steady-state costs, and found something similar - current
clang is slower than current
gcc. I tried to install
gcc-llvm from macports, in the hope that that would be a fairer comparison, but the port failed to compile, so I've not (yet) been able to see whether the
gcc optimiser via LLVM is better than than
gcc without the LLVM "overhead", and hence isolate the effects of
gcc from LLVM/not-LLVM.
I also wonder about gcc's new -fcreate-profile/-fuse-profile options. Might be worth a try... But ultimately I think a project like using LLVM has more legs than that one-off optimisation.

This recipe brings me back to my childhood where it was lovingly compiled by a thrifty Mom trying to stretch her food dollars! It is rich in Omega fatty acids and delicious!
A fun change for the grill using canned tuna.
A fresh alternative to a burger!
These salmon patties are simple to make. The zinger is the Hurrican Bay Florida Spice Marinade.
These burgers are delightfully spicy and tasty.
Hi its me again! This is a wonderful Salmon recipe. Of course we want the salmon as fresh as we can get it!
My daughter Jordan and I love tuna and were inspired by this competition to make a tuna burger. I would like to give some of the credit for this burger to my daughter, Jordan.
Salmon is the pride fish of the Northwest so it is a natural for it to show up in a burger in these parts.
Northwest cherry season is just starting so it is only fitting that I created a burger that highlights our prized cherries, they are a perfect match with salmon(another prized Northwest ingredient
It is a great privilege to live on the Chesapeake Bay. We watch the watermen at work every day; in rain, shine or Nor'easter.
We love our football and fishing in Pennsylvania!
It is extermely fast, inexpensive, healthy, and less than 6 ingredients to prepare.
I have never been a big fish lover however when I moved to the Pacific Northwest I quickly learned that salmon was a very popular meal as it is so readily available here in the rivers.
Was born in the Northwest where I loved to fish for and ea salmon. Now live on Padre Island where shrimp are plentiful year round.

Whenever one NHL player lays a dirty hit on another, lots of annoying things happen. There's outrage. There's self-serving outrage. There's outrage over the outrage. There are fans of the offending player who refuse to face reality.
And, of course, there's the crew that thinks that when a player watches the puck or, even worse, puts his head down, he essentially signs a waiver. "Hit me however you want. It's my fault, and I deserve whatever happens to me." They crop up every time, and they're weird, and they're tough to ignore. It's probably Twitter's fault.
In any case, we heard from some of those people on Tuesday night, when Corey Perry of the Anaheim Ducks shouldered Minnesota Wild winger Jason Zucker in the face about a second after Zucker had gotten rid of the puck.
On Wednesday, Perry heard from the league. He was suspended for four games and will lose more than $115,000 in salary for the hit, which left Zucker on his back near the boards.
Rob Blake, not Brendan Shanahan, delivered the news, and one sentence spoke directly to the "blame the injured guy" contingent: "In spite of the fact that all players should be aware of their surroundings, it is perfectly reasonable that Zucker should no longer expect to be hit this long after possession."
Blake called it a "late, illegal hit," which it was, and said that Perry had time to either avoid the check, or "minimize it significantly," which he did not.
Players need to be cognizant of what's going on around them—specifically, that there are five guys on the ice out to do whatever it takes, and give 110 percent, and finish their checks, and whatever other cliches spring to mind. But at some point, they should be able to reasonably assume that nobody is laser-focused on leaping into their skulls. Zucker, who thankfully skated on Wednesday, assumed incorrectly—and that's not his fault.
It's Perry's, and he deserves to pay the price. The 2011 MVP is missing games against the Dallas Stars, St. Louis Blues, San Jose Sharks and Chicago Blackhawks. Anaheim is 19-3-3 and leads the Pacific Division by 11 points.

Our five elected representatives should seek unanimity on every issue that comes before them and demand unanimity on the important issues.
A superb place to start would be for the council to unanimously vote to participate in the National Citizen Survey, which has been widely tested in communities around the nation. The survey is a low-cost citizen survey service for local governments. Tested, flexible, affordable, and efficient, the NCS would allow Atherton to survey citizen opinion for program planning, budgeting, goal-setting and performance measurement.
The council would select from a set of standard questions to assess citizen opinion about basic services and community life. Additional customized questions allow the council to tailor the survey to our unique needs.
Our elected officials can use the results to set spending priorities. The town manager can use the results to measure progress and chart future steps. Staff can use the results to improve service delivery.
The survey program includes three mailings to 1,200 randomly selected households, which include the pre-survey postcard and two mailings of the survey instrument. A margin of error (95 percent confidence interval) of no more than plus or minus five percentage points around any percent.
I am so convinced of the need for a new approach to our town governance that I will personally pay for the cost of participation in the National Citizens' Survey provided such participation is approved unanimously by our new City Council.
