The Poem Stuck in My Head
Robert Hayden's "Summertime and the Living…"By D. A. Powell
One of the pleasures of reading a great poem over time is the way its meanings establish themselves (like the "trees of heaven" that reclaim the space of "quarrels and shattered glass") and grow sturdier, larger.
I first read Robert Hayden's "Summertime and the Living…" at an age where I neither understood ellipses nor was hip to the signals of quotation marks. I had scarcely heard of Porgy and Bess, so I missed entirely the allusion to "Summertime" the song. Instead, I thought of the poem as situated in memory, as a man looks back on a boyhood imprinted by the "Mosaic eyes" of those elders to whom "the florist roses that only sorrow could afford long since have bidden … Godspeed." If I had known that the next two words indicated by the title "Summertime and the Living…" would be "is easy," I no doubt would have (knowing what a predilection I then had for irony) seen the poem as a quick "gotcha," an "oh you thought it was this but it was that" kind of poem, and I imagine it would have taken longer for me to appreciate its nuance. But I was first reading the poem at that tender time when I still took it on faith that nearly all poetry is born of sincerity, and I missed Hayden's sly joke. It was that sly.
Later, I heard the song. Later, I saw the deft choice in every word. The way "gangled" worked off "vivid" which worked off "unplanned" to suggest a lively disorder out of which dream emerges in the form of "circus-poster horses." And later still I saw the roses not as a decorative flower (as I'd once imagined them) but as a necessary embodiment of sorrow exceeding frugality in its expensive claim on our hearts. Later, I understood the symbolic power of boxer Jack Johnson setting "the ghetto burgeoning with fantasies" as he leaves in a "diamond limousine." Read More

In a move that brought a sharp condemnation from Rep. James P. McGovern, D-Worcester, the House late Thursday — on a largely party-line vote — approved a nearly $40 billion reduction in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps.
"It stinks," Mr. McGovern said at a press conference with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., leading up to the vote. The House passed the measure 217-210, with 15 Republicans joining 195 Democrats in voting against it. No Democrats supported the bill.
By stiffening eligibility requirements, the legislation would cut nearly 3.8 million low-income individuals from the SNAP program in 2014.
The House legislation now will have to be reconciled with a measure approved by the Democrat-controlled Senate, which cut only $4 billion in SNAP benefits when approving its version of the farm bill. Mr. McGovern complained that the $40 billion cut, twice the amount that had been contained in a version of the farm bill that failed to clear the Republican-controlled House last summer, had never been the subject of hearings before the House Agriculture Committee, on which he serves.
"There's a misperception here in the House of Representatives that somehow it's a sweet deal for people to be able to get on food stamps — It isn't," Mr. McGovern said in a brief interview Thursday. "These cuts aren't about getting out of fraud and abuse. That's not the problem. These cuts are about trying to balance the budget by nickeling-and-diming poor people. And I think that's a rotten thing to do. "
In Worcester County, there are about 23,000 households and 42,000 individuals — approximately 5 percent of the total population — benefiting from SNAP, according to data collected a year ago by the Massachusetts Department of Transitional Assistance.
A report recently released by the Food Research and Action Center shows that, between 2008 and 2012, 20 percent of the households in Worcester County with children could not afford sufficient food. The figure for households without children is 14.7 percent; the House SNAP bill is aimed in particular at "able-bodied" individuals with no children.
Not taking into account the legislation now before the House and Senate, SNAP benefits already have been slated for reduction because of the expiration of provisions in the 2009 economic stimulus package approved by Congress. Starting Nov. 1, every three-person household in the state receiving benefits will see a monthly cut of $29 in SNAP benefits, according to a recent report by the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute.
"The proposed cuts to SNAP will eviscerate this critical nutrition benefit for low-income residents of Worcester County and Massachusetts," Patricia Baker, a senior policy analyst at the institute, said in an email. "It is unconscionable that Congress is entertaining deeper, harsher cuts to SNAP and deliberately taking food off the tables of our most vulnerable residents."
The proposed SNAP cuts would also strain local food banks and pantries, according to Jean McMurray, executive director of Worcester County Food Bank, which distributes 5.4 million pounds of food annually. Her organization makes food available to 145 partner agencies to help relieve hunger in 60 towns in central Massachusetts.
Inspired by the food stamp program that then-Sens. Bob Dole, R-Kan., and George McGovern, D-S.D., successfully expanded in the 1970s, Mr. McGovern began delivering a series of speeches on "Ending Hunger Now" earlier this year.
The most recent speech, the 22nd in the series, was delivered Wednesday to a session of the House Rules Committee, on which Mr. McGovern serves.
Those relying on SNAP food benefits spend $1.50 per meal for each day, according to Mr. McGovern, who twice in the past six years has joined with other lawmakers who sought to live off food stamps for a week.
The second occasion was this past June when he spent about $30 in a Safeway market purchasing meals for an entire week.
His shopping list shows a diet of ground turkey, brown rice, pinto beans, oats, tortillas, spaghetti sauce, inexpensive pastas, peas, red onions, carrots and pantry essentials. It took him a long time to shop because of the limited budget, he recalled — even with some help from others.

Unlike the recent clerical workers' strike that shut down 10 of 14 local terminals, the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles may see a slight uptick in cargo volumes if a strike occurs at East Coast ports.
However, any impact will likely be minimal, said Sean Strawbridge, managing director of port operations for the Port of Long Beach.
"It takes about 30 days for the supply chain to shift, so any change that has to happen has already been made," Strawbridge said.
Any uptick in cargo would be seen in late December to early January, typically a slow period for the port, he said.
However, some companies are concerned about the impact of strikes on multiple coasts.
Ingrid Hirstin Lazcano, founder of the Los Angeles-based Andean Dream LCC, said a strike on the East and Gulf coasts could bankrupt her company, which sells soups, pasta and other products made from quinoa, a grain grown in the Bolivian Andes.
The company has two containers shipped monthly to both Los Angeles and Philadelphia, and Lazcano said she's still recovering from the eight-day strike of 450 clerical workers at the Los Angeles-Long Beach port complex, which ended Dec. 4.
"If the strike does happen, we will be paralyzed," she said. "We will not be able to fill orders."
The latest talks between shipping companies and dockworkers on the East Coast have reportedly broken down less than two weeks before the contract expires Dec. 29, leading to worries that a strike could lead to the closure of 15 ports from Massachusetts to Texas.
The longshoremen's union on the East Coast represents 14,500 workers at the 15 ports, which extend south from Boston and handle 95 percent of all containerized shipments from Maine to Texas, about 110 million tons' worth. The New York-New Jersey ports handle the most cargo on the East Coast, valued at $208 billion in 2011.
Other ports that could be affected are Boston; Delaware River; Baltimore; Hampton Roads, Va.; Wilmington, N.C.; Charleston, S.C., Savannah, Ga.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Port Everglades, Fla.; Miami; Tampa, Fla.; Mobile, Ala.; New Orleans; and Houston.
Various issues, including wages, are unresolved, but the sides couldn't agree on what's become the key sticking point – container royalties.
The sides have traded charges of inflexibility, though both also point to a history of cooperation since the last East Coast-wide strike in 1977. No one has ruled out renewing talks.
But with time so short, companies are pushing up shipment dates or finding alternative transportation, said Steve Lamar, executive vice president of the Washington-based American Apparel and Footwear Association.
They are already worried about restocking after the holidays, and some are still dealing with the effects of the West Coast shutdown and Superstorm Sandy, Lamar said.
"You've already got companies and ports and trade that have been battered by a couple of situations over the last couple of months, and we still have this uncertainty," he said.
In Philadelphia, port executive Robert Blackburn estimates a strike could affect 60 percent of the tonnage the port handles.
"Frankly, there's not a lot we can do except hope that cooler heads prevail and, if they don't, perhaps there will be intervention by the president," Blackburn said.
Karen Robes Meeks and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

- abstract
According to the accountability principle a person's fair allocation takes into account the input-relevant variables she can influence, like effort, but not the variables she cannot influence, like a randomly assigned exogenous factor. This study is based on a real effort-task experiment, where the exogenous influence is twofold: it comes either as a production factor or as a bonus. We confirm that in a base treatment, i.e in absence of exogenous factors, subjects base their allocation decisions largely on effort. When exogenous differences are present behavior changes. Whereas bonuses are largely ignored and subjects still mostly base their decisions on effort, production factors render allocations more selfish. Furthermore, we study whether accountability holds for decisions over opportunities. We apply the so-called lottery-points-method, where a binary lottery in the last experimental stage allocates the whole amount to one of the workers. We find that subjects claim more for themselves when allocating opportunities in all treatments.

The media always makes the cops look bad where he's from. A crackhead could be opening fire in a public area, forcing them to shoot him, and the media always focuses on shooters family to make it look tragic. That example has actually happened.
He says the media never tells the full story.
While I understand it's an extreme example, if the cop's salary is $66k and he makes an additional $105k, that means he's working, on average, 80 to 90 hours a week for an entire year.
I don't blame him for doing so if he's putting in the time, but that's incredibly wasteful.
YEah, and if a cop is logging 90 hours a week, it would be cheaper to pay the "overhead" to hire more workers.
would it? in the example listed above the officer is making 39k greater than his normal wage. if he is issued that by working an extra 30 hours per week, this is about 1700 hours yearly. with pensions, bennys, etc you arent going to find someone to work 1700 hours and pay them 39k
No, you misunderstand. His salary is $66k. His premium time paid is $105k. Total compensation: $171k.

A man has been arrested close to the scene where police are responding to a report of a suspicious package in a Sussex town.
Police were called to the McDonald's restaurant in Wellington Place, Hastings, at 10.06am today (Friday, December 11) after a man went into the premises and placed a bag on the counter.
A Sussex Police spokesman said, "When officers responded, the bag was deemed to be suspicious and staff were evacuated from the restaurant.
"As police left the building a member of the public alerted them that a man had placed another bag in the street.
"The man was spotted, was challenged and arrested.
"An EOD (explosive ordnance disposal) unit arrived at the scene just after noon to examine the packages.
"The matter is not being treated as a terrorist incident at this time. The man was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage."
Detective Chief Inspector Gary Pike said, "We must treat these packages seriously and that is why we have requested the expert assistance of the military.
"Until that is complete, there will be disruption in the area and I would ask people to remain patient.
"We will endeavour to return things to normal just as soon as is safely possible."

The Terrebonne Parish Council has decided to give the Veterans District all of the money it received this year from the state's Local Government Assistance program for its museum expansion.
The district, which oversees the Regional Military Museum on Barrow Street and Veterans Park on La. 311 near St. Charles Street, will receive about $145,000 to add to the budget for its museum project.
"We'll take it," said C.J. Christ, museum founder and Veterans District board member. "Wow. That's awesome."
The council unanimously voted to approve the allocation after the idea was introduced by Parish President Michel Claudet.
The parish was given the money and is allowed to use it for anything that assists with community projects. After the Veteran's District was forced to use a chunk of its budget to repair the bulkhead at Veterans Park, Claudet said he thought it would be a great option and benefit to the district.
"The district's board members used a bulk of the money they got from taxes to repair the bulkhead at the Veterans Park on 311, which was sinking. That was great because now that's stabilized. But they don't have that money to put towards constructing their new building."
Christ said board members decided to use more than $300,000 to repair the bulkhead and purchase another building directly across the street from the museum. These projects took up what Christ called a "big chunk of our expansion money."
"But it needed to be done," Christ said.
The bulkhead repair was needed to separate the land the park sits on from the adjacent bayou. The property across the street was needed to secure parking for the museum once expansion is complete and for more storage space.
"There's not much room around here," Christ said about the museum. "The space we're in now was adequate maybe in 2004-2005, but it's not adequate anymore. We're supposed to get another tank soon, and we've got another airplane coming. We're growing by leaps and bounds."
The Veteran's District and local veterans first approached the council for permission to expand in early 2010. The goal is to have more space to display the thousands of documents, uniforms, equipment and other military artifacts they have assembled through the years.
In November 2010, voters approved a new property tax that will allow the district to collect about $3.8 million over a decade.
In Louisiana, property taxes are collected using a calculation called a mill, and the first $75,000 of a property's value is exempt from taxes.
For the owner of a $100,000 home, the half-mill veterans-district tax will cost $1.25 annually. The tax would cost the owner of a $250,000 house $8.75 annually and the owner of a $500,000 house $21.25 annually.
The group sold $1.7 million in bonds to begin the expansion project and to repair the bulkhead adjacent to the bayouside park. The bonds are essentially IOUs that will be repaid using the tax money as it is collected.
The museum has more than 4,000 artifacts, including dozens of uniforms, photos, medals, vehicles and weapons. Much of that is in storage, including a true-to-size World War II torpedo bomber model that hung inside the National D-Day Museum in New Orleans for about nine years, Christ said. Three jeeps, two working track-laying vehicles and a bevy of firearms and swords are also in storage in various parts of the parish.
Claudet said he plans to allocate as much money as he can from the Local Government Assistance Program to the museum construction.
"This comes around each year so there will be another one of these grants. I think the board deserves this help so there'll be more where that came from," Claudet said.
Danny Picou, a Chauvin resident who's very involved with the museum, said he's ecstatic about the parish's support for the project and local veterans.
"Michel Claudet definitely deserves praise for this. I think this is great. Anything that's done in this parish to show our veterans they have support is wonderful because they definitely need it. I'm so happy Mr. Claudet is doing this for them," Picou said.
"I've been giggling ever since I found out. This is great," Christ said.

The EPA today proposed for public comment the levels of renewable fuels to be blended into gasoline and diesel as required under the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. "The proposal seeks to put the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program on a steady path forward – ensuring the continued long-term growth of the renewable fuel industry – while seeking input on different approaches to address the E10 blend wall," EPA reported.
The proposal seeks comment on total renewable fuel volumes for 2014 and proposes a level within that range of 15.21 billion gallons as follows:
Proposed Volume a
Cellulosic biofuel
17 mill gal
8-30 million gallons
Biomass-based diesel
1.28 bill gal
1.28 billion gallons
Advanced biofuel
2.20 bill gal
2.0-2.51 billion gallons
Renewable fuel
15.21 bill gal
15.00-15.52 billion gallons
aAll volumes are ethanol-equivalent, except for biomass-based diesel which is actual
In 2010, EPA approved E15 for use in vehicles newer than model year 2001 and developed labeling rules to enable retailers to market E15. Since 2011, USDA has made funding available to support installation of flex-fuel pumps.
EPA announced that it seeks input on what additional actions could be taken by government and industry to help overcome current market challenges, and to minimize the need for adjustments in the statutory renewable fuel volume requirements in the future. "Looking forward, the proposal clearly indicates that growth in capacity for ethanol consumption would continuously be reflected in the standards set beyond 2014." EPA reported that it seeks additional stakeholder comment as it works with the Departments of Agriculture and Energy toward the development of a final rule.
Seeking input on waiver
Today, EPA also announced that it is seeking comment on petitions for a waiver of the renewable fuel standards that would apply in 2014. "EPA expects that a determination on the substance of the petitions will be issued at the same time that EPA issues a final rule establishing the 2014 RFS," the agency stated. Once the proposal is published in the Federal Register, it will be open to a 60-day public comment period. For more information, visit http://www.epa.gov/otaq/fuels/renewablefuels/regulations.htm
ACE reaction
"There is nothing positive that can be said about EPA's proposal to unnecessarily restrict sales of ethanol-blended fuel in 2014. This proposed rule will increase pump prices, drain billions of dollars from consumer pocketbooks and transfer billions more to oil company profit statements," responded Brian Jennings, executive vice president, American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE) to EPA's announcement.
"This proposal likely violates the law, would shut down biofuel facilities, put Americans out of work, and chases investment in advanced biofuel overseas to our competitors," Jennings added. "Using the E10 blendwall as an excuse to reduce ethanol use rewards oil companies for doing nothing to comply with the RFS or inevitability of higher ethanol blends, and sets a dangerous precedent by taking the teeth out of the most consequential policy Congress has ever enacted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of transportation fuel."
Impact on advanced biofuels
Meanwhile, Michael McAdams, president, Advanced Biofuels Association (ABFA), pointed out that the 2.2 billion gallon target for advanced biofuels represents a 20 percent cut from the 2013 level and a 1.55-billion-gallon reduction from the volume contemplated by statute.
"Innovative companies have responded to the challenge of producing cleaner, low-carbon fuels by investing a collective $14 billion in the development of advanced and cellulosic biofuels. However, today's proposal reveals that EPA might still deliver a devastating blow to this nascent sector and a victory for the oil industry by cutting the volume requirements for advanced biofuels," McAdams noted. "Such a move will chill future investments necessary to produce large-scale quantities of renewable fuels that cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50 percent compared to gasoline," he added.
"ABFA conservatively estimates that our industry will generate at least 3.5 billion RINs in 2013 that qualify as advanced biofuels, exceeding this year's target of 2.75 billion advanced RINs by at least 750 million gallons," McAdams noted. (RFS compliance is tracked by assigning renewable identification numbers, or RINs, to each ethanol-equivalent gallon of biofuel.) "To continue to support new advanced biofuel production, EPA should set the 2014 advanced biofuel target at 3.75 billion gallons as contemplated by statute. This target can be met and exceeded by current production plus carry-over RINs."
McAdams noted that ABFA will submit official comments on EPA's proposal. "Our top priority will remain ensuring the future viability of the advanced biofuels industry, so it can help America transition to a low-carbon economy with enhanced energy security by building better fuels."

MAYS LANDING, N.J. (AP) — An Atlantic City Housing Authority staffer faces allegations that he stole thousands of dollars by creating and paying fraudulent contractors and invoices.
Brian Lewis of Pleasantville faces numerous charges, including theft and official misconduct. He surrendered Tuesday to Atlantic County prosecutors and was later released.
An assistant buyer for the authority, Lewis allegedly used his position to access work orders and contracts for construction and home repair work at a public housing complex.
Prosecutors say he created shell companies and billed the authority for work already done by other firms. He then collected duplicate payments.
Lewis also allegedly used his position to award his own businesses contracts for construction and repair work, then failed to do the work despite being paid.
Lewis did not return a phone message seeking comment.

If Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith was offended by Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden's blunt assessment of the defending Super Bowl champions, he did a nice job of hiding any hurt feelings.
Reacting to Haden telling Cleveland reporters that, "The Ravens aren't the Ravens of old," Smith said his friend was speaking the truth.
"I mean, I think it's safe to say," Smith said. "It's not the same team. It's not like I'm going to take anything to him. We're still built the same, but it's not the same guys. That's just fact to it.
"It's not like we're going to take it like, 'He said this, they're not the same team,' because anybody can go out there and get beat any week. We play the way we're capable of playing, we're still the Ravens and we'll get to that point and other teams will know it."
Ravens offensive tackle Michael Oher, however, left little doubt that the Ravens are aware of and motivated by Haden's words. Oher said players were alerted to the comments via email.
"Everybody got the email, everybody saw it," Oher said. "I trust in the guys upstairs. We've got great guys upstairs. If you're in this organization as a player, you're a great player and we're here for a reason. I'm looking for great things in the future for this team the next nine weeks."
A few other players said they weren't aware of a group email, but have taken notice of the remarks through social media and the Internet.
Heading into Sunday's game against the Browns, the Ravens (3-4) have lost two straight games and three of their last four.
Haden, who said he was confident the Browns would break their 11-game losing streak against the Ravens, pointed out that the defending Super Bowl champions changed significantly during an offseason in which middle linebacker Ray Lewis retired, free safety Ed Reed signed with the Houston Texans and other key contributors moved on.
"At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how people view you," Smith said. "It's on us to go out there and play and prove it. Last year we won the Super Bowl and no one picked us to win, going from Week 10 on. It doesn't matter what people say, whether it's your opponent, or the media, or whatever. We got to go out there and play ball. Obviously, you don't want to prove them right."
The Ravens defeated the Browns, 14-6, in the second game of the season. The last time the Browns beat the Ravens was on Nov. 18, 2007, a 33-30 overtime loss.
"Because as the years go by, the teams change,'' Haden told Cleveland reporters. "The Ravens aren't the Ravens of old. They're still really good, a real talented team, a division opponent, but our team is a whole different team. We still haven't gotten over the hump, but there's no reason why we can't.''
Two games back
Alone in second place in the AFC North, the Ravens have a prime opportunity to make up ground on the division-leading Cincinnati Bengals.
The Bengals lost 22-20 to the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night when quarterback Andy Dalton was tackled for a safety by Cameron Wake.
The Ravens are two games behind the Bengals, and can get to within 1.5 games with a victory Sunday.
"I didn't watch, but I did the see the score and I can't say that I was disappointed with it," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "But we have to win our games. If we win our games and take care of our business, we'll be where we want to be when it counts."
Stokley still hurt
Ravens wide receiver Brandon Stokley is questionable on the injury report with a lingering groin injury. He was limited in practice.
Backup running back Bernard Pierce (hamstring), Oher (sprained ankle), center Ryan Jensen (foot surgery), nose tackle Terrence Cody (sprained left knee) and inside linebacker Josh Bynes (finger surgery) are all probable.
Browns linebacker Quentin Groves (ankle) and defensive lineman Billy Winn (quadriceps) are questionable. Former Ravens running back Willis McGahee (knee) is probable
End zone
Cut by the Ravens on Wednesday, free safety Michael Huff and defensive lineman Marcus Spears went unclaimed off waivers. They're now unrestricted free agents. … The Ravens are $1.797 million under the NFL salary cap limit of $123 million following the roster moves.

B2C2 FlexCop
From LinuxTVWiki
Revision as of 19:37, 13 September 2004 by 188.8.131.52 (Talk)
A quite interesting and well-designed PCI interface chipset. Contains flexible a MPEG TS Stream interface hardware PID filters, but is still able to deliver the complete Transport Stream. As far we know the chipset contains a Smartcard interface and a CSA Descrambler. Has some Quirks in the i2c Protocol Interface, the PCI bridge driver thus needs to know which clients are allowed on the bus to avoid lockups.
The Linux driver works quite good and has no known drawbacks. Smartcard Interface and CSA Descrambler Support are missing.
The B2C2 FlexCop/FlexCop2 is e.g. used in the Technisat Skystar2 and the Technisat Airstar 2 DVB Cards.

Earlier this month, when he announced his unprecedented decision to resign, Pope Benedict XVI cited his growing physical frailty. But by the time a helicopter whisked him away from the Vatican today, the 85-year-old pontiff had signaled his intention to stay involved in public life in his new role as "pope emeritus." If he does so, he'll be in good company: Plenty of other people who are 85 or older are still influential players in business, politics and the arts—not to mention religion.
Worth noting: Cardinals over 80 wield some influence in the Catholic Church, but they aren't allowed to cast votes for Benedict's successor. Respect for one's elders apparently has its limits. But here are 10 octogenarians who are still commanding respect in their fields; we welcome your suggestions for others to add to the list.
Sumner Redstone, age 89: CBS, Comedy Central, Paramount, MTV, Showtime, Nickelodeon, Simon & Schuster... If you watch television, go to the movies or read books, you're probably in some way supporting the empire that Redstone and his family control. Redstone is currently locked in a legal battle with fellow octogenarian Charles Dolan's Cablevision network over the business practices of his Viacom media empire.
Peter G. "Pete" Peterson, 86: Peterson was a founder of Wall Street giant the Blackstone Group, where he built a fortune that made him a billionaire. Since retiring in 2008, he has reportedly spent almost $500 million through the Peter G. Peterson Foundation to support an influential campaign in favor of cuts in federal entitlement programs, an effort that hasn't endeared Peterson to some non-billionaires in his peer group.
T. Boone Pickens (turns 85 in May): Hedge-fund chairman, corporate raider, energy investor and, more recently, an advocate for everything from windmills to natural-gas powered automobiles. Here's what's in his stock portfolio these days.
Betty White, 91: The veteran of the Mary Tyler Moore Show and Golden Girls is now arguably at the most prolific phase of her career, as the star of two lucrative and successful TV series, "Hot In Cleveland" and "Betty White's Off Their Rockers." Her cultural cachet has landed her a June 2012 audience with President Obama and nationally televised specials on each of her last two birthdays, among many other recent honors.
Henry Kissinger, 89: Thirty-six years after the end of his political career, the former presidential adviser and secretary of state continues to wield considerable influence in private consulting and in foreign policy circles. (He recently stirred the euro-crisis waters by telling a German newspaper that the European Union might be better off smaller.) Bonus: Like Pope Benedict, Kissinger is a native of Bavaria.
Kirk Kerkorian, 95: Best known for his investments in Las Vegas real estate and the global casino industry, Kerkorian remains CEO of Tracinda Corp., though his influence has waned since a 2009 public offering reduced his stake in MGM Mirage. Like the pope, Kerkorian is currently single, according to the Las Vegas Sun.
Phyllis Schlafly, 88: Though she's no longer the torchbearer for right-leaning women, Schlafly still wields influence with an older generation of conservatives through a nationally syndicated weekly opinion column, her books and a range of public speaking engagements. Her endorsements of Michelle Bachmann and then Rick Santorum during the 2012 presidential primaries helped underscore the fact that Republican cultural conservatives really, really didn't like Mitt Romney.
Jimmy Carter, 88: Sometimes referred to as America's most successful ex-president, the Nobel Peace Prize-winner remains active through his charities and as an author: His 29th book, "NIV Lessons from Life Bible: Personal Reflections with Jimmy Carter," was published last year. Carter has been back in the news most recently thanks to the success of the movie "Argo," though that film focuses on a part of his presidency he'd most likely prefer to forget.
Tony Bennett, 86: The crooner's album "Duets II," released in conjunction with his 85th birthday in 2011, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and won him two Grammys in 2012; he released a Latin-music follow-up last fall. Bennett could bond with Benedict over the rigors of performing for large audiences (Bennett sang for a crowd of 100,000 at a celebration of the San Francisco Giants' World Series victory last fall).
Thomas S. Monson, 85: A retired Utah printing and publishing executive and father of three who, perhaps more relevantly, is also the titular head of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a role he's held since 2008. The world's 15 million Mormons consider their president to be the "prophet, seer and revelator" of God's will on Earth. Benedict, as the leader of 1.2 billion Catholics, had a bigger flock but arguably less authority.

Hello, my name is Alana Zamora from San Marcos, Texas. This year, I was selected as a 2013 Smithsonian Latino Center Young Ambassador; Up to twenty-four graduating high school seniors are selected each year and are given the amazing opportunity to intern in a museum/cultural institution in their local community for four weeks. Currently, I am interning here at the Austin Children's Museum. This week is the last week of my internship, and in this blog post, I describe my experience here at the ACM, as well as, insights into the different summer camps that we offer here at the Museum.
This week's full day camp at the Austin Children's Museum for ages 7-10 was titled 'Get a Clue', and the half day camp for ages 4-6 was 'Passport Adventures'. Each day, I photographed the camp's field trips and activities, and filtered, edited and uploaded the photos that I took onto the Museum's Flickr account.
On Monday, July 22nd, we walked a few blocks with the full day campers to The Driskill hotel. There, we were given a tour and were told of it's history; We learned that for well over a century, historical benchmarks have been crafted at The Driskill, such as, when Former President Lyndon B. Johnson awaited news of his successful 1948 Senate run and his 1960 election to the office of Vice President, and 1964 election as President. We also learned of the ghosts that have reportedly been seen at the hotel! Colonel Driskill himself is said to wander through the original side of the hotel and the spirit of Samantha Houston, a senator's young daughter who was chasing a ball when she fell to her death on the grand staircase, has been seen bouncing a ball along the corridors in the hotel.
On Tuesday, July 23rd, the full day campers took a tour of the Texas State Cemetary. The Cemetary is the burial place for soldiers and founders of the Republic and State of Texas, elected state officials, jurists and other prominent men and women. Culturally, the Cemetary is unique because it represents every aspect of Texas history from European Colonization to modern day Texas politics. The Texas State Cemetary is the burial site of Stephen F. Austin, Ed Burleson, Bob Bullock and many more historical and cultural icons.
On Wednesday, July 24th, I photographed the half day camp, 'Passport Adventures'. The continents of topic that day were Asia and Australia. The children participated in various activities, learning about kangaroos, origami, bamboo, and the Sydney Opera House. One specific activity of the day that I thought was pretty neat was where the children could create their own Moai statues out of clay, and decorate it with beads and feathers.
On Thursday, July 25th, I had my community outreach portion of my internship; Each Young Ambassador must hold a children's story-time at a local library in their area. I traveled to the Little Walnut Creek Branch Library here in Austin to read Abuela's Weave by Omar S. Castaneda. Abuela's Weave is the story of Esperanza, a young Guatemalan girl, and her grandmother who grow closer as they weave some special creations and then make a trip to the market in hopes of selling them. This story shows the importance of family pride and personal endurance, and introduces children to the culture of Guatemala through the eyes of little Esperanza.
In the latter half of the day, I traveled back to the Austin Children's Museum to be the photographer for the Museum Career Ladder & Volunteer Appreciation party. MCL participants and volunteers brought their friends and families to show them what they do at the museum and to have some fun! MCL is a volunteer and employment readiness program that offers opportunities to Austin area teens (12-17 year olds) to engage in fun and meaningful work at the Austin Children's Museum. This year, there were over 1,100 active volunteers at the Museum. The youngest volunteer is four and the oldest is sixty-six.
On Friday, July 26th, the full day campers took a trip to the Visual Arts Center at the University of Texas at Austin. There, they toured the ceramics and painting studios, and learned about kilns and easels. They also visited visited the art galleries in the building.
Sadly, this is my last week at the Austin Children's Museum. This four-week internship has truly been a great experience! Never having a job before, I was skeptical that I would not successfully fulfill what was expected of me…but at the conclusion of this month, I feel that I have done everything I've been asked to to my fullest potential. Throughout my internship, I have learned various skills, such as, time management, patience and team work. In a museum, there's so much team work that goes into running a successful learning institution and I really do appreciate what every employee/volunteer at any museum does. Along with the Museum, I do believe that the most important skill we can give children is the ability to learn, and that the diversity and interactions among people from different backrounds enrich and strengthen our community. I am eternally grateful to have been selected as a Smithsonian Latino Center 2013 Young Ambassador, to have met many amazing individuals along the way, and to have been blessed with this amazing opportunity to work with the Austin Children's Museum.

The MLB Season is edging closer and closer to the mid-way point with the All-Star Game coming up on July 16th.
Every year with the All-Star Game, comes the controversy of who is playing. Yasiel Puig is at the center of that controversy this year. The rookie outfielder for the LA Dodgers has exploded onto the scene and is currently batting over .400 since his call-up and is a fielding gem.
The Sporting News's Anthony Witrado joined Jeff Thurn on Overtime to discuss the controversy.
"If he's one of the best hitters right now he should be in All-Star game since counts for something," said Witrado.
Witrado went on to discuss the current situation with the Yankees and Alex Rodriquez.

June 4, 2004
Mrs. Catherine Young Selleck
Chair, Occidental College Board of Trustees
Three Oliver Court
Menlo Park, California 94025
Dear Chairwoman Selleck,
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) works on behalf of liberty, legal equality, freedom of religion, academic freedom, due process, and freedom of speech and expression on America's college campuses. We write to you and the other members of the Occidental College Board of Trustees today to inform you of a situation on Occidental's campus which indicates possible serious misconduct by Occidental's administration, exposes the college to legal liability, and threatens the very existence of student rights at Occidental. The Occidental College administration's persecution of student Jason Antebi has been so outrageous, in fact, that its actions have been condemned not only by FIRE but also by other civil liberties groups including Students for Academic Freedom (SAF), the Student Press Law Center (SPLC), and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
On March 30, 2004, FIRE wrote to Occidental College President Ted Mitchell to protest disciplinary proceedings that were then being held involving Jason Antebi, a senior at Occidental and a former disc jockey on Occidental's college radio station, KOXY. (This letter is attached.) For three years, Mr. Antebi hosted a radio show called Rant and Rave on KOXY. Like many radio shows both on campus and off, Rant and Rave relied on what some would consider a "shock jock" brand of bawdy and provocative humor, satire, and parody. The program often mocked Occidental's administration, its student government, and various political and social causes.
Two students who believed that Mr. Antebi had mocked them on the air filed sexual harassment complaints against him in March 2004 due to the content of his radio show. These complainants were student government rivals of Mr. Antebi who had unsuccessfully tried to have him recalled from office on different grounds earlier in the year. A third student, apparently associated with the two complainants, also filed a brief complaint broadly accusing Antebi of sexual harassment because she was "disgusted" by his radio show. They claimed that Mr. Antebi's on-air comments constituted "hostile environment" harassment, citing among their complaints some of Mr. Antebi's remarks insulting his own mother, his apparent mockery of several members of the student government, and "disrespect and slander" against "women, diversity, and Occidental College." These students evidently believed that Occidental College could and should punish Mr. Antebi for the "offensive" and "demeaning" content of Rant and Rave.
In its March 30 letter to President Mitchell, FIRE pointed out that Mr. Antebi's comments were protected speech under the First Amendment and that due to a California statute called the "Leonard Law" (California Education Code Section 94367), which requires that even private universities in California extend First Amendment protections to student speech, Occidental was forbidden from punishing Mr. Antebi for his comments. FIRE also pointed to a letter from the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights and to several U.S. Supreme Court cases that make it clear that even highly offensive speech is protected by the First Amendment.
On the same day that Occidental received the letter from FIRE, President Ted Mitchell announced that he had decided to dissolve ASOC (Associated Students of Occidental College—Occidental's student government). Although President Mitchell did not refer to Jason Antebi by name, almost all of the reasons Mitchell gave for closing down ASOC were related to the college's accusations against Mr. Antebi. The dissolution of the student government means that the college administration has taken over the distribution of nearly $500,000 in student fees that would normally be administered by the students' elected representatives.
On April 2, FIRE received a response to its March 30 letter from attorney Sandra A. Cooper, Occidental College's general counsel. Ms. Cooper's five-page letter (attached) accuses Mr. Antebi of a laundry list of offenses including threats, possible drug use, and abuse of his student government position. Cooper then added that Occidental "is still investigating" incidents of harassing telephone calls, anonymous e-mails, defacing brochures, slashing tires, and yelling insults across campus. However, she presented no evidence of any kind that would link Mr. Antebi to this second, more serious set of accusations. She concluded by implying that the ACLU as well as the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, along with the law, would support the college's punishment of Mr. Antebi.
While FIRE was at first impressed with the apparent thoroughness with which Occidental responded to our letter, further investigation revealed that most of Ms. Cooper's assertions of fact were false and/or fabricated, and that her understanding of the law and positions that other organizations would take on this case were invalid. Indeed, many of the college's factual assertions could be so easily disproved that it strains credulity to believe that these statements could be mistakes rather than deliberately false assertions. We urge you to read FIRE's twenty-eight page comprehensive response to Ms. Cooper's assertions, sent to Ms. Cooper on May 6, 2004, (attached) to gain a full understanding of the outrageous and immoral campaign of deceit that Ms. Cooper and other administrators waged against one of Occidental's own students. Our research, detailed in that letter, shows that Occidental College, through Ms. Cooper, omitted crucial facts, reversed and ignored timelines, made claims that are contradicted by multiple independent student sources, and jumped to unwarranted and unsupportable factual and legal conclusions—all in an apparent attempt to dissuade organizations like FIRE and the ACLU from coming to Mr. Antebi's defense.
On April 12, 2004, Occidental College Title IX Officer Maryanne Cline Horowitz found Mr. Antebi guilty of on-air "sexual and gender hostile environment harassment" based on arguments nearly identical to those made to FIRE in Ms. Cooper's letter of April 2, and recommended that the letter be placed in Mr. Antebi's academic file. Like Cooper's letter, Horowitz's findings included a long list of "related acts"—offenses for which she produced no real evidence of Antebi's alleged involvement (Horowitz herself acknowledged that "[n]ot all of them may be directly attributable to Mr. Antebi") but whose inclusion she justified by claiming that "they echo his intimidating, demeaning, and threatening tone."
Occidental College's deceitful actions have failed to dissuade organizations such as FIRE and the ACLU from continuing to be involved on behalf of Mr. Antebi. Indeed, on May 7, 2004, attorney Peter Eliasberg of the ACLU of Southern California wrote to General Counsel Cooper (this letter is attached) expressing the ACLU's opinion that Mr. Antebi's remarks are not punishable speech and that Ms. Cooper's statements that ACLU policy would support Occidental's punishment of Mr. Antebi are false. The ACLU letter also urges Occidental to rescind any punishment or finding of liability for harassment regarding Mr. Antebi. The Los Angeles-based organization Students for Academic Freedom (SAF), which has chapters on 135 campuses across the country, has also expressed its condemnation of Occidental's actions. Yet Occidental has so far failed even to respond to FIRE's May 6 letter exposing its administration's falsehoods and distortions.
Far from succeeding in silencing Mr. Antebi or others like him, Occidental College's administrators have merely succeeded in unifying FIRE, the ACLU, SPLC, and SAF in opposing Occidental's heavy-handed attempt to silence its students and its complete and utter disregard for the First Amendment rights guaranteed to Mr. Antebi under California law. FIRE urges you, Chairwoman Selleck, and the members of the Occidental College Board of Trustees to take the time to read the material attached to this letter and decide for yourselves whether Occidental College's administrators have held themselves to the professional standards that you, as the trustees of Occidental, have a right to expect. The welfare of a college's students and an open and free academic climate on campus are necessarily among the highest priorities of any college or university, yet Occidental administrators have lawlessly persecuted one of its own students, attempted to silence campus dissent, and brought a coalition of civil rights organizations down upon Occidental College. We urge you to contact President Mitchell with your opinions of Occidental's handling of this matter and ask that the unfair and unlawful punishment of Jason Antebi be rescinded.
Please feel free to call me at (718) 852-0998 if you have any questions regarding the important matters in this letter.
Respectfully yours,
Greg Lukianoff

Todd Bowles might not be able to fix the Eagles defense, but at least give him credit for accurately analyzing the situation.
The Eagles replacement coordinator described last night's numerous coverage busts as "a messed-up situation," as succinct and accurate a description as possible.
Of course, that's also another way of saying it's the players' fault and not his own, but that's beside the point.
"The first one was high school cover-3," Bowles said, via Sheil Kapadia of Phillymag.com. "The ball was thrown down the middle of the field. We gave up a touchdown. Inexcusable. The second one was inexcusable too."
Of course, the all-alone touchdown to Panthers tight end Gary Barnidge was just one of the problems, as free receivers were running downfield all night.
"The second long one was a bust," Bowles said. "It was inexcusable. Shouldn't have happened. Everybody knew where they were supposed to be. They weren't there."
Asked why it was happening, Bowles replied: "I wish I could tell you.
"They can't happen. Not at this level, not at this stage of the game, not after what we've been through. And everybody has to own up to their responsibility."
Of course, bad players poorly coached is one possible explanation.
In the five games since Bowles went from secondary coach to coordinator (after Juan Castillo was offered up), the results have been ridiculous.
The Eagles have allowed 75.2 percent completions, for 9.7 yards per attempt, with 13 touchdowns and no interceptions. Castillo's defense led the league in opponents' completion percentage (52.3).
The entire Eagles organization has reached the "what good's it going to do" stage, and players said wholesale changes aren't going to fix it.
"You stick with those people or those groups and you coach them harder," cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha said. "And those players obviously have to take it more – I don't want to say seriously because they're taking it seriously – but obviously have to be mentally focused a little bit more than they have been.
"Obviously what Todd has done, I've supported, we support. There's some things that mentally we need to be sharper on."
Either that, or do what Bowles is doing, and create an alibi to offer your next employer.

TUESDAY, July 24 (HealthDay News) -- Introducing body checking to hockey players at a younger age does not reduce their risk of injury over the long term, according to a new study.
Latest Healthy Kids News
There is heated debate about when to allow young hockey players to start body checking. Some argue that introducing body checking at an earlier age helps prevent injuries because players develop an instinctive ability to protect themselves.
There is, however, little truth to this theory, said the University of Alberta researchers who conducted the study.
The researchers analyzed injury rates for 8,000 youth hockey players aged 9 to 15. The kids were split into two groups. The first group played from 1997 to 2002, when children as young as 12 and 13 were taught to body check. The other group played from 2003 to 2010, when players as young as 11 and 12 were taught to body check.
There were no significant differences in the number of fractures or head and neck injuries among the older players in both groups. The researchers also found no significant differences in the younger players, who were never allowed to body check.
The study was published recently in the Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine. The findings, along with other research, show that introducing body checking at a younger age does not prevent injuries, Donald Voaklander, director of the Alberta Centre for Injury Control and Research, said in a university news release.
The only proven way to reduce injury risk for young hockey players is to forbid body checking, Voaklander said. Many youth hockey officials favor introducing body checking at a younger age, but the evidence against doing so is getting harder to ignore, he said.
"The body of knowledge is building. Sooner or later there is going to be a tipping point," Voaklander said in the news release. "The people making the rules are going to have to make the right choice."

In the wake of the surprise firing of Eagles defensive coach Jim Washburn, signs are pointing even more strongly to Washburn's reaction to last week's abrupt decision to cut defensive end Jason Babin as the reason for the move
Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports, citing an unnamed Eagles assistant, that Washburn had become a "cancer."
More specifically, Reuben Frank of CSNPhilly.com reports that Washburn "had become disruptive and difficult, had threatened to quit, and blew up when Babin was released."
Reid surely knew or at least suspected that Washburn, who already had a reputation for being brash and confrontational, would react loudly. After all, Washburn directly was involved in the decision to bring Babin, who flourished for the first time in his career under Washburn in Tennessee, back to Philadelphia in 2011.
From 2004 through 2009, Babin had 17.5 total sacks. In 2010, his first season with Washburn, Babin had 12.5. The next year with Washburn, Babin had 18.0.
So it was reasonable to regard the duo as joined together more tightly than a normal player and his position coach. And it was reasonable to think that Washburn would go bonkers once Babin was cut.

Eddie Irvine has described Formula One's new double points rule for the final race of the season as "tinsel town bull****".
Next year the final round of the season will pay out double points in an effort to increase excitement towards the end of the year. The new rule has been met by scepticism - with world champion Sebastian Vettel labelling it absurd - and Irvine has vowed not to watch another race until it is changed.
"It's ridiculous, I've never heard such a joke in all my life," he told the Belfast Telegraph. "Talk about tinsel town bulls***!"
Irvine believes the decision makers in Formula One are out of touch with the fans.
"I think Formula One has lost its way. This latest rule of double points for the last race is insanity. That actually made me realise I am not going to watch another race until that rule gets kicked out. That is just embarrassing. It really is. They should be ashamed of themselves.
"I just think the people involved in these decisions have lost the plot. They have no understanding of reality and the people who are in there have been in too long. They have blown up the history of the sport by changing the points, changing the qualifying and now double points for the final race!"

Regularly enrolled SSU students are eligible to use all Student Health Center (SHC) services,
including a state licensed Pharmacy located off the Health Center lobby.
The SHC Pharmacy is staffed by a California licensed pharmacist who is available to fill prescriptions for conditions under treatment by SHC physicians and nurse practitioners.
In addition to filling Student Health Center prescriptions, the Pharmacist provides:
- Information about vaccines, prescription and over-the-counter items (including instructions, indications, potential side effects and interactions).
- Over-the-Counter sales of OTC medicines, vitamins, thermometers & first aid supplies.
- Self-care information and answers to health related questions about medications, vaccines, supplements, and other substances.
- Certain immunizations such as flu shots.
Students interested in additional information about medications and how to use them safely can find good on-line references at:
National Institute of Health (drug information)
Health Finder
Federal Drug Administration
National Institute of Health (prescription drug abuse information)
Pharmacy hours during the regular academic year:
- Monday- Friday: 8:30AM - 5PM
- Closed for lunch 12 to 12:30PM daily
Summer pharmacy hours:
- Call ahead for hours during the summer, as availability is limited in comparison to the regular school year.
- During summer periods when the pharmacy is not open, some medications can be dispensed by a treating SHC physician or nurse practitioner in conjunction with a medical visit.
- Prices at the SSU Pharmacy are discounted for SSU students and are typically much lower than prices at retail pharmacies.
- Savings that facilitate our ability to discount medications are achieved as follows:
- Payment can be made only by cash or check and is due at the time of service.
- Credit card or debit card payments are not accepted because the SHC credit card set up and transaction fees would add several dollars to the cost of each purchase. ATM machines are located nearby; outside of the Zinfandel Marketplace in the Residence Halls, at Charlie Brown's café in the Schultz Library building, and at the SSU Bookstore.
- The Pharmacy maintains a formulary designed to meet the medication needs of most students cared for at the SHC. To keep prices low, the Pharmacy stocks a more limited array of medications than would be available at a community pharmacy. This allows cost savings from buying in bulk and minimizing wastage from the outdating of little used medications. We then pass these savings on to the student. If the SHC Pharmacy does not stock the medication prescribed, a SHC prescription can be filled by any off campus pharmacy, at the student's expense.
The SHC is unable to bill third party insurance carriers, but SHC prices are often lower than health insurance prescription co-payments. The Pharmacist provides a receipt with each purchase, so insured students can contact their insurance company to see if it will reimburse for the cost of medications or vaccines purchased at the SHC.

RENO, NV -- Barack Obama and Mitt Romney's spouses are spending time rallying support in Reno less than a week apart.
People lined up outside the student center at UNR to get tickets to hear from the first lady. Michelle Obama will hold a rally at UNR on Wednesday morning.
"I just like a lot of what she stands for and women's rights," Alex Borcherts, a Democrat, said.
"I kind of want to start getting into it, see what's going on, and I think going to see the first lady is a good opportunity to see that," Marco Aguilar, a non-partisan voter, said.
Several people in line for tickets said they hoped the first lady would speak about the economy and the cost of an education.
Democrats and Republicans who spoke with KOLO, said candidates' spouses are influential.
"They do talk a lot to each other about what's going on and I do feel like it's not just a one-man show so I feel like the spouses have a lot of power," Sheyenne Taylor, a Democrat, said.
Last Thursday Ann Romney also held a rally in Reno -- the GOP said at least seven-hundred turned out at Bartley Ranch Park for the event.
"Women know their husbands better than anybody else," Republican Otilia Krapff said.
"Democrats have manufactured this war on women by the Republicans which is totally not true, and I think Ann being out there kind of dispels that," Washoe County GOP Chair Dave Buell said.
Ann Romney also spoke in Henderson Monday.

Washington, D.C. Photo Fakeout: A pretty view that doesn't exist
What a view! Though the L'Enfant Plaza's website shows off a room with a shockingly close view of the Washington Monument (on the backdrop of beautiful blue skies, no less), our room at the hotel looked out onto a shockingly close wall, instead. Sure, some rooms have views of the monument -- but they definitely don't look like the website's photo, and in actuality the iconic structure is about a half-mile away.
Update: Since we published this Fakeout, the hotel closed renovations and removed the misleading image.Read the full L'Enfant Plaza Hotel review.
