Bears drive from own 3, land in end zone to beat Eagles
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Pinned on the 3-yard line and out of timeouts, Chicago's final drive looked like a bust.
That was before the audio cut out on Brian Griese's helmet.
The only noise Griese heard was the sound of his own voice calling the plays, rallying the Bears and driving them 97 yards for the winning score in a 19-16 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.
Don't count out the Bears quite yet in the NFC playoff picture.
"I felt really good calling my own plays in that situation," Griese said. "Before I got out into a 2-minute drill, I kind of look at our play sheet and get in my mind a plan of what we want to do. So I felt comfortable in that situation."
Griese did get some help on the final play that turned into the winning TD. He ran to the sideline with the clock stopped, then came back and connected with Muhsin Muhammad for a 15-yard touchdown pass with 9 seconds left for the stunning score.
"When we came out in the second half we pretty much knew that our season was on the line," Muhammad said.
The Bears didn't even need Devin Hester to bail them out with an explosive return. Instead, the final, thrilling drive was all Griese.
The Bears (3-4) started on their 3 with 1 minute, 57 seconds left and trailing 16-12. Griese completed a series of short passes over the middle that quickly gained yards after nearly 58 minutes of stagnant football.
Hester, the dynamic kick returner, had been shut down on special teams and was a non-factor on offense until Griese found him for a 21-yard gain that brought Chicago to the Eagles' 15.
Griese spiked the ball to stop the clock and found Muhammad on second down for the winning score. Griese was 21-of-47 for 322 yards. He was 7-of-9 for 97 yards on the final drive.
"Hopefully the momentum is swinging in our favor," Griese said. "It was a big game for us, but the key to us going forward is how we build on what we did today."
The Eagles (2-4) have a long path ahead if they want to even think about returning to the playoffs, much less winning a second straight NFC East title.
"It's a position we're not used to, but nothing we can't pull ourselves out of," said Donovan McNabb.
Kickers had scored all the points over the first 55 minutes because both offenses sputtered in the red zone. The normally rowdy Eagles crowd was lulled into acting like this one was a preseason game until McNabb rallied Philadelphia from a 12-9 hole.
He ended the TD drought with a 13-yard pass to Matt Schobel with 4:57 left.
McNabb completed passes of 23 yards to Kevin Curtis and 15 yard to Reggie Brown on the drive, putting the Eagles inside the 20 for the fourth time. The first three trips ended in field goals, predictable considering the Eagles had scored only five touchdowns on 19 red zone possessions entering the game.
McNabb said last week the NFC East title still goes through Philly.
No way that's true anymore, not after those wasted chances came back to cost the Eagles.
"We have to find a way to get into the end zone," said running back Brian Westbrook. "I don't know what the answer is, but we have to find one between now and Sunday. If we can turn some of those points into touchdowns, we'll win some of these games."
The Bears caught a break in the fourth on a bad snap that seemed disastrous, but instead turned out to be only a 5-yard penalty. On an apparent bit of miscommunication, the snap sailed through Griese's legs and was recovered by safety Sean Considine, who took off running.
Because the ball was snapped beyond a quarterback under center, the play was whistled dead and Chicago was hit with a false start. The Bears settled for Robbie Gould's 45-yard field goal that ticked off an upright for a 12-9 lead.
Chicago had its own issues near the goal line.
Two of Griese's passes, one to Hester in the first half and to Greg Olsen in the second, were broken up in the end zone by cornerback Sheldon Brown. Griese dropped a snap on third-and-goal at the 1 and the Bears settled for Gould's 22-yard field goal early in the third.
"All week we talked a lot about playing our best game," Bears coach Lovie Smith said. "If we lose, fine, but we didn't want to have any regrets and I thought that was the case today."
Certainly, it helped that the Eagles offense continued to struggle. Since scoring 56 points in a win against Detroit, they had only 19 points in the previous two games. They wasted long drives against a battered Bears defense that was picked apart last week by Minnesota.
Instead, Philadelphia settled for field goals of 24, 33 and 37 yards from David Akers and led 9-3 at the half.
The Eagles kept the ball away from Hester, who had an 81-yard touchdown catch and an 89-yard punt return for a touchdown against the Vikings. The Eagles kicked away from the explosive return man and he had no return yards.
McNabb's numbers -- 21-of-34, 226 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions -- suffered from several dropped passes that stalled drives.
Now McNabb has to lead his greatest comeback yet.
"It's unfortunate because we kind of swung it our way and we were in position to seal the deal," he said. "We just didn't do it."
Game notes
Bears defensive tackle Tommie Harris, who proclaimed over the summer the Chicago would win a Super Bowl if McNabb joined them, sacked the Eagles QB twice in one fourth quarter series. ... The Eagles are now 8-1 at home against the NFC North under coach Andy Reid.

I have patronized several of those in the list.
From Yahoo News ...
The guide ranked 150 of the most profitable restaurants in the United States on how much their workers earn, whether they get paid sick leave, and what kind of chances they have for advancement. A shocking number of well-known restaurant chains earned "zero" ratings because they didn't meet any of the minimum requirements for their workers
The Worst Restaurants to Work For
The Guide seems to be on a web site that cannot handle the traffic
2012 Diners Guide
Ruth's Chris?
I'm very surprised to see Ruth's Chris on the list but my only experience has been as a customer where I see professional servers with much tenure several of whom chose Ruth's from other higher-end Knoxville restaurants like the Orangery and Bistro by the Tracks.
We had a wonderful experience at Ruth's Chris on my wife's birthday.
But, then again, I'm just coming at it (like you) from a customer's point of view.
Per this February 2012 report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 73% of employees in any industry receive paid sick leave--and 10% of those employees receive sick leave only on an "as needed" basis, not under any policy affording them a set number of days.
Frankly, I was surprised to see that the percentage of employees receiving sick leave had grown so high.
I haven't worked full-time outside the home for over a decade, of course, but when I did--and it was not in the restaurant industry--the benefit was not then one we could necessarily expect.
I specifically recall that when my children were young and frequently ill (from the petri dish that is private daycare), I often needed to use my vacation time to cover time off for their illnesses. At the time I ceased working, my husband and I had been unable to take any vacation days off for the purpose of actually "vacationing" for a full eight years.
What are others' experiences across industries, now and in the past?
I have not found Tennessee's
I have not found Tennessee's regulations on sick food workers. It looks like some states require sick workers may not work with food or food-contact surfaces. I think that is loosely enforced.
That sort of business should have a tightly monitored sick employee policy.
Doesn't this also just mean,
Doesn't this also just mean, support local?
Most chains that are supportable, according to these guidelines, are relatively small and in few states.
Can't recall working somewhere that didn't provide sick leave. It could have been the case, but it would have to have been early on and many years ago.
Local doesn't always mean
Local doesn't always mean better wages and benefits. (I won't name names.) Congressman John Duncan once wrote in his newsletter that he patronized downtown eateries when in town; I responded that he should ask the servers their salaries and whether they had health insurance (many in local eateries do not).
But thanks for posting; interesting list.
Employer-provider health insurance came to be during war-time wage controls. The separation of consumer and payer has contributed to higher health care costs in the U.S.
If the restaurants do not provide adequate compensation/benefits, etc., the workers should seek alternatives.
Yes and maybe
I agree regarding a single-payer system but regarding unions---should their demands make the venture greatly less profitable, the risk is no job. The best option for an unhappy employee is to make oneself more marketable for a better job.
I wouldn't be surprised if
I wouldn't be surprised if you really believed you had a unicorn. I'm sure you think it's pure coincidence that during the greatest economic expansion in history, union membership declined & as evidenced in Wisconsin, it's often by choice.
I don't think he/she has to
I don't think he/she has to keep trying. From the 50's on, infant mortality improved, civil rights were enacted, the rate of poverty decreased, innovation increased as did quality of life. Unions were very valuable and still can be but there are simply fewer problems to solve. Most workers are treated very fairly and thus don't want a union. Wisconsin should offer some proof of that.
Most workers are treated very fairly and thus don't want a union.
Seriously? SERIOUSLY?
Let me tell you exactly how kitchen staff in local (non-chain store) restaurants are treated -- I have two sons who work as cooks in local restaurants, so yeah, I am qualified to speak on what happens in some of these kitchens.
There are NO, repeat NO sick days. If you are sick, and take the day off, you don't get paid...if you still have your job. Chances are, if you have a lengthy illness, lasting more than 2-3 days, you will NOT have your job, unless the boss really, really likes you.
There is NO, repeat NO health insurance. If you need to go to the doctors for an illness, one of three things happens: you pray you are still on your parents health insurance, if not, you pray you have enough money to go to a walk-in clinic, and if not, you don't do a damn thing, because you can't afford to go to the doctors.
That is the reality of working in the restaurant business. You bet this group of people would benefit from union representation. Yet, so many of these people are hoodwinked into believing unions are evil (evil is the exact word that was expressed to me, to my face, by co-workers of my sons).
How the hell can you possibly equate what really happens as workers are treated fairly?
i know the above to be true.
i know the above to be true. included are some of the restaurants that make up the so-called 'renaissance' of downtown. not such a renaissance for those kids who live in slum housing, can barely pay the rent, and don't dare get sick.
The why do they work there?
Two Reasons
Two reasons: They each like cooking. And just as important, it's a steady job (unless you get sick).
I understand
I can appreciate and understand that they "like cooking" but if this type of work does not meet their economic needs, they should seek alternatives. There are many things that I like but that wouldn't sustain me.
I mean, just wow! You completely skipped over "it's steady work".
Steady (as long as you don't get sick) meaning, they aren't laid off in a down/off season and have to scramble to find new work. Steady, as in they are scheduled to work specific days, every week. Steady, meaning they don't have to worry about getting laid off, because other people can't afford their product and the company will shut down. (and to clarify, they both work in established mid-range restaurants)
The fact is, they have been in this industry for so long that this is what they are qualified to do. To get another job would mean taking a huge cut in pay, which is even less sustainable than if they stayed where they are.
So...since they have been in
So...since they have been in the industry, things have changed or did they choose to enter (and then evidently continue to remain in) the cooking profession. The point is that they obviously understood their chosen field upon entry and certainly after a short period time. This is what they chose.
Now given that they are so experienced, and assuming that they have gained expertise, they should be relocatable (and in demand) to a similar employer that offers what their current employer does not.
Regarding a "cut in pay, which is even less sustainable", then they could certainly cut back (read invest) in their future to change careers. SmartPhone: gone. Ipod: gone. Car: gone. Big screen: gone. Etc. Etc.
Regarding a "cut in pay, which is even less sustainable", then they could certainly cut back (read invest) in their future to change careers. SmartPhone: gone. Ipod: gone. Car: gone. Big screen: gone. Etc. Etc.
What in the world makes you assume they even have any of these luxuries, other than a car, which is necessary to get to work.
No big screen tv because neither can afford cable nor do either of them pay for internet.
Learn to "walk a mile" before you make assumptions on other people's life styles.
In addition, it's not as easy
In addition, it's not as easy to change careers as selling off everything and getting more education. There are plenty of articles published lately about people with college educations unable to find jobs.
correct, i know several food
correct, i know several food workers who get to their jobs by bike. personally, i don't even have a cell phone, cable, or a large-screen tv (old CRT here, which seems large enough). assumptions don't always hold true.
Then why do they work there?
67% decrease since after WWII
There is much room for improvement but...
Jeez---substantial improvement with movement in the right direction.
I don't see where anyone was
I don't see where anyone was "bragging" only merely stating facts that US quality of life has drastically improved. Different countries have different dynamics but a 2/3's reduction is great improvement. Both political parties need to show more pragmatism. We need to help those at the lower rungs of society to help themselves but trust me, very few of today's "poor" understand the meaning of the word. All too often, I see youngsters with enough money to add "bling" to their cars, tattoos & piercings to their bodies, "buds" to their ears, cell phones to their heads,, fast food to their bodies, cigarettes to their lungs, decorations to their finger nails, etc.& claim to be poor?
As we know, thee descriptions are VERY common----poor? They should read Angela's Ashes.
It's time for more personal responsibility. Exercise, eat right, don't smoke, don't take drugs & limit your individualism if it limits your opportunities.
Most anyone under my age doesn't know what poor is.
Son, Greenville, MS was where
Greenville, MS was where we aspired to live when I grew up in Stucker, MS. I didn't stay there simply because there was no work so I migrated to Jackson with exactly $6.79. Five was in my sock & $1.79 in my pocket in case I was robbed. As I stated, most don't understand the meaning of poor but my generation didn't look for handouts. Instead, we made our way to self sufficiency.
Enjoy your unicorn,
All too often, I see
All too often, I see youngsters with enough money to add "bling" to their cars, tattoos & piercings to their bodies, "buds" to their ears, cell phones to their heads,, fast food to their bodies, cigarettes to their lungs, decorations to their finger nails, etc.& claim to be poor?
IMO, there is some validity to what you said. However, we all know it is not true across the board. Again, IMO, I can't say the poor/low income are looking for handouts. I'm thinking they are just trying to survive/live. Times are much different now. You used to be able to bum rides with strangers back in the day, not now, it's just not safe (I don't think).
Where the heck is Stucker, MS?
Don't know about all that,
Don't know about all that, but when y'all go to Greenville be sure to check out Lusco's and take a step back in time to 1930. Weird place, pretty decent food. BYOB, prohibition style.
I don't know where Stucker is
I don't know where Stucker is but Frank brings up some valid points. Many folk, not all but many, could afford more necessities if they didn't spend so much on unnecessary items whether that be "tats", stereos, etc. Maybe Reagan's welfare Cadillac was a hoax but my son who has done repair work on Hope VI says he's surprised by the number of flat screens, big screens, etc. and jabs me for not having central H&A like all of Hope VI does.
Frank sounds like my dad when he talks about personal responsibility and while no one is making blanket statements, there does exist great truth in what he pointed out.
No one said that or even
No one said that or even implied it. It was however implied that those receiving dramatic gov't assistance for necessities seem to have funds for non-necessities.
See, the whole point of HOPE
See, the whole point of HOPE VI is that some people living there do receive various kinds of assistance, and some don't. This of course makes it more challenging to assume you know who is who.
As to the other discussion here, yes, as compared to, say, Somolia, being "poor" in America is a whole different thing. No doubt that some people who are poor make ill-advised decisions with regard to priorities in what they purchase, but this is true up and down the economic scale.
You can look no further than the check-cashing, rent-to-own, and related loan businesses for the enabling source of that problem for the poor. Someone living on SSI and food stamps doesn't have the money to buy the various amenities described in this thread. They do, however, have enough money to make some payments for a while, and a whole, barely-regulated financial industry has grown up around that fact. The folks who have been scorned here may have some crappy consumer electronics perched on WalMart pasteboard furniture, but they aren't the people who are truly taking advantage of government assistance.
The people really taking advantage of government assistance drive around in Hummers with libertarian-sloganed bumper stickers, chasing down monthly payments and repossessing crappy consumer electronics.
The poor people are still poor, it's just they look less poor while they're being used as conduits for others to siphon off government benefits and minimum wages.
White People
Your chart shows that things are looking up for white folks as a group. Has you cross referenced this data by those that were covered by insurance?
My point is this. You certainly seem to be making a lot of broad based assumptions about freedom, but until one has serious concerns about whether or not there will be food and shelter in one's immediate future, one doesn't tend to understand that freedom is largely a privilege of economic condition.
My Experience as an Employer
A greatly shortened version of our company's evolution on employee benefits is that we gave the hourly folks the same program we gave ourselves. As we could afford it, we gave more paid holidays and sick days. At some point a line supervisor said his people were complaining that some folks didn't take sick days and others took days when they weren't sick and that seemed unfair. As a result of some research we came around to suggesting a program where there were no sick days period. Our hard nosed GM said we shouldn't pay people to be sick. We took the number of sick days we had been granting and made them floating holidays that could be banked or used as the employee saw fit or needed. Problem solved.
As for health insurance, if anyone wants to really create a massive explosion of jobs in America they can do two things: Eliminate employer based insurance and replace it with a public option. And...allow retained earnings to be reinvested in capital expenditures with no taxation. It is a huge burden for a young and growing business to come up with tax payments on the increase in company net worth when there is no actual money to the owners involved. (Yeah, it's off topic but I feel better now)
i appreciate everything
i appreciate everything you're saying, but it seems to me that to maximize profits you need to suppress wages. one way to do that is to create surplus workers (i.e. increase competition for jobs) by keeping unemployment high. that contradicts the idea of a 'massive explosion of jobs' which would have the effect of driving wages up.
and as it stands, employer-based insurance works for the largest corporations who can best afford to pay it and - not coincidentally - are the most aggressively opposed to the 'public option.'
Actually, most businesses
Actually, most businesses large and small would love to get out of the health care/insurance business.

i'd like to think
i'd like to think corporations were big supporters of single-payer universal coverage, but i haven't found much evidence of that in the last few years. and this from wiki:
Wagoner resigned as Chairman and CEO at General Motors on March 29, 2009, at the request of the White House. The latter part of Wagoner's tenure as CEO of General Motors found him under heavy criticism as the market valuation of GM went down by more than 90% and the company lost more than $82 billion USD. This led to his being named one of the worst CEOs of 2008.
who knows, the decline of GM might indeed have been related to the cost of health insurance for its employees. but i suspect it was more related to poor management, a product line that was obsolescent, and its adventure into mortgage financing.

One huge advantage foreign manufacturers have is that they don't have to pay for their worker health coverage. In the USA this can mean as much as a 25% higher cost per worker and it's rising.

You can go to the link above for the guide.

Seriously? SERIOUSLY?
Let me tell you exactly how kitchen staff in local (non-chain store) restaurants are treated -- I have two sons who work as cooks in local restaurants, so yeah, I am qualified to speak on what happens in some of these kitchens.
Thanks, CE (and you, too, Michael).
To the rest of you, I have posted pretty authoritative data from the BLS (and for the current year) demonstrating that 27% of all employees across industries do not receive any paid sick leave days and that another 10% may or may not receive paid sick leave days, dependent on the whim of the employer.
If you are among those who have always received the benefit, you're pretty much in "the lucky half."
And more on the restaurant industry, in particular (where I did work for seven years in my teens and twenties, like most everyone I knew): Even among this smattering of restaurants at jbr's link professing to offer some of these various benefits, I daresay they offer them to three out of 50 or 100 employees, namely to their salaried management staff.
The rest of their crews are scheduled for 37 or 38 hours weekly, max, specifically so the employer may for all practical purposes work them "full-time" without offering them any of the benefits--sick leave, vacation leave, paid holidays, health insurance--their handful of full-time salaried managers enjoy.
The same thing happens in the hotel industry.
I attended a conference with my husband at Nashville's Downtown Hilton a month or so back, at which I learned 17% of his long-time employer's prior year income is now derived from outsourcing activity.
Employment issues being on my mind that weekend, I therefore spent my spare time, while he attended work-related sessions, interviewing the hotel staff as to their salary, benefits, and working conditions.
As I suspected, not a damned thing has changed in the industry since the 1970's.
Those folks a plumb pitiful, as was I back in the day.
Everybody should do a stint in the hospitality industry, if only to learn the necessity of tipping generously.
Dear CE, I'm not sure what we can do for the cooks...

We can start with single-payer health care. Followed by paying a living wage.
But, that's not just for cooks, that would be for everyone.
Sometime last year (or was it the year before) there was a thread on the service industry here. While the service industry (including the hospitality industry) is 100% needed, I still get up in arms when this industry is a driving force which sustains our state. It is completely unsustainable, particularly when it keeps a huge portion of the population in poverty.

What are we, Swedes? As Americans, we prefer to hide the costs and pay them on the back end. Privatize gain, socialize risk, and all that.
Wal-Mart encourages its 1.3 million US employees to enroll in taxpayer-funded health programs. A number of studies have demonstrated the way Wal-Mart shifts its employee expenses onto taxpayers. A 2004 Congressional study estimated that taxpayers subsidize an average Wal-Mart store to the tune of more than $420,000 a year, or more than $2,000 per employee. This takes the form of government-funded food stamps, housing subsidies and health insurance programs. Another study found that the state of California spent a total of $86 million a year on public assistance for Wal-Mart workers, or more than $1,900 per worker. Wal-Mart employees were the largest users of state healthcare programs in eleven out of thirteen states that reported employer usage.
My cousin is now a manager
My cousin is now a manager for Cracker Barrel. Over the years he's worked for Eva wide variety of restaurants in Knoxville and NYC. He's w/ a chain now b/c he has a wife and two kids and that means they need health insurance. He knows plenty of folks who don't have any insurance who are really good at what they do, and like doing it. Line cooks-- he had three call in sick the other day and found himself being the line cook at lunch. Those guys are all part-time, and something tells me that they will be answering some tough questions if they want to keep their jobs.
Unless some personal circumstance prevents them from working full-time (and enjoying the paid sick leave/paid vacation leave/ paid holidays/ health insurance/ possible retirement plan your cousin enjoys), I expect they DON'T want to "keep their jobs." I wouldn't, would you?
Let's face it, if minimum wage had kept up with inflation since inception of the FLSA, the rate would now be closer to $14.50/hour, not $7.25/hour.
the rate would now be closer

Actually, that's changed. My cousin's dad is a gay man who initially tried to deny reality but realized that he couldn't. After his parents divorced, when he got to be a teen, he lived w/ his dad. That was one of the things that he wanted clear before he went to work there. And his best friend is black, so he got that cleared up w/ them too. He says they are working hard to correct the mistakes of their past.

one positive here is that the food and music businesses seem to complement each other, as least as far as schedules go. i don't know what the working conditions/benefits are like in the food coop, but i've occasionally had chats with one of the friendly cooks who regularly sets up the buffet (excellent, btw). he seems to really enjoy what he does, and is always willing to talk about the ingredients, recipes, etc. of what he prepares. in his other life he's a music student. i think you'll find lots of musicians and artists working in the food business for their 'day jobs.'
Yes, I remember the 'tea ins'
Yes, I remember the 'tea ins' at Cracker Barrels very well. I can still spent half a day nursing a few glasses of iced tea.
Thanks, again, Michael.
Frank, I don't have a cell phone, either, I have the $15 "basic" cable TV (only because we can't get any reception on this ridge without it AND our TVs are old analog sets bought at pawn shops and requiring the cable company's converter box). My family's used cars are also old, but I appreciate that we own any at all.
I do, however, employ my own car each and every week to offer rides to fast food workers tramping up and down Clinton Highway in their work uniforms.
I feel compelled to do that because in a previous life I was one of them.
I think you would approve of my family's disciplined money management and I do agree--to a degree--with your observations to the effect that some people, young and old, fail to set proper financial priorities.
What I think you're discounting, though, is that due to the stagnation of wages, any family's money doesn't go nearly as far as it did a generation ago. Think about the disproportionate rise in the costs of housing, cars, medical care, and college, for starters.
For example, Mom didn't work, but my dad nevertheless bought our home for about one year's income. Today, my family couldn't possibly do that.
Dad bought his last new car for about three month's income. Today, my family couldn't possibly do that, either.
He and Mom never anticipated that in her old age, after his death, she might spend 70% of her monthly retirement income on just a Medicare supplement and prescription drugs, so my husband and I are today extremely apprehensive for how much rougher our medical costs will be toward "the end."
And college costs? I'm sure you're aware that they've doubled in just the last ten years, to say nothing of the change over the last thirty.
Again, had the minimum wage kept up with inflation, its rate would be double that actually in effect. This circumstance affects all wage earners, really, in that the "floor" has dropped out from under all.
And why does the cost of living index exclude the costs of food and fuel, anyway? In my household, those two costs are tied with our top cost, namely our housing cost, which makes the index a joke.
Aside from the problem of the wage "floor" having collapsed, there is also the problem of tax policy and corporate boardroom policy having combined to widen and accellerate the wage "gap" between lower and higher earners.
So while I share your penchant for disciplined money management (and I also share some of your personal life experiences as someone who "started with nothing"), all the penny-pinching in the world is too little to compensate for these several external forces at work in today's economy to diminish workers' earnings and morale.
I don't think you're looking at the bigger picture.
Thank you Tamara
for so eloquently stating what those of us fighting to participate in the American dream are struggling with.
As for"And why does the cost of living index exclude the costs of food and fuel, anyway? In my household, those two costs are tied with our top cost, namely our housing cost, which makes the index a joke."this, you may be too young to remember, but Ronald Reagan had to fix the runaway inflation of his first term, so rather than do the work he was elected to do, he simply changed the formula by which your COLA was calculated, essentially guaranteeing that union workers would ever get another COLA raise, ever.
That little historically trivial move was the single greatest blow to unions in the history of organized labor, because it assured that from that point on union workers would never keep pace with the cost of living and the driving point of unions has always been economic opportunity for workers.
Thanks again Tamara for all you do and if a Knox Views get together is ever organized, I'll buy you a beer.
...my son who has done repair work on Hope VI says he's surprised by the number of flat screens, big screens, etc. and jabs me for not having central H&A like all of Hope VI does.
I think you're forgetting some HOPE VI history, Al.
In Knoxville and across the country, what the HOPE VI project did was to reduce the number of housing units for the poor in a given locale, flush out of those cities the poorest of the poor, and make available for the higher earners among them a lesser number of pricier housing units.
Here is some coverage on what went down in Knoxville in 1998:
...Julia and other residents attended the scheduled committee meeting where an attorney, an architect and housing authority staff informed them that their homes would be demolished under a federal program known as HOPE VI. The 320 units were to be replaced by 149 houses for sale (which they couldn't afford) and about 50 mixed-income rental duplexes. After exhausting all legal challenges, Julia and a few other families decided to stay in their homes and refused to leave when formally evicted. After several days, the other families relented, but Julia and her daughters remained until the fall of 1998 when under a court order, sheriffs' deputies physically removed them from the property.
All this to point out that your son was not observing in those homes owning big screen TVs the standard of living among the poorest of Knoxville's poor.
The poorest were the folks displaced by the HOPE VI project.

Voters being turned away in my city- SW Penn
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
Here is the background on what I saw today. In PA we were told early on that we HAD TO BRING ID TO VOTE. Then, this was changed to next year. The official final line this year was "You will be asked for photo ID when you go to vote, but it is not required to vote".
I was waiting in line to vote and a young lady in front of me told the lady with the registered voter book that she didn't have ID with her, she had just lost it. The lady with the book looked up her name and sure enough it was in the book so she was registered. The older lady with the book then told her she could not vote and turned her away. The girl was told to find some type of photo ID and come back, she tried to explain to them that she didn't have anything and she really wanted to vote today.
This will not be law until NEXT year. That young lady waited in line to vote for twenty some minutes, she wanted her voice to be heard. While I do think that you should provide ID when you vote, that wasn't the law this year it takes effect next year. I would have spoken up for her and explained the election law to the officials, BUT i wasn't 100% sure which way it went this year I know next year it is changing so I got home and looked it up and sure enough they turned this young lady away when she was in the right this year.
So take your ID if you plan on voting today in Pennsylvania just in case these local yokels don't know their own voting laws.

Mormon Bobby Engemann of '60s pop trio The Lettermen put faith, family first
Robert "Bobby" Phillip Engemann was a member of the Lettermen, a group that harmonized its way into the hearts of fans across the world, producing 20 singles, 46 albums, nine gold albums and five Grammy nominations.
Billboard Magazine named the Lettermen the top "adult contemporary and romantic group of all time." The trio's popularity was so great that NASA left a Lettermen recording in a time capsule on the moon as a representation of America's popular music.
But after his passing on Jan. 20, Engemann left a far greater legacy than his singing through the way he lived his religion and loved his family.
"He was a pillar of faith," Bobby's son Danny Engemann said. "He had an uncanny ability to share the gospel. He could talk to anyone, of any religious diversity or background. He was a people person. He had the ability to let you know he cared about you."
Engemann was born in Highland Park, Mich., on Feb. 19, 1935. Later in life he attended Brigham Young University, served in the U.S. Air Force and went on a two-year mission to Minnesota for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. While at BYU, Bobby, his older brother Karl and Karl's wife, Gerri, formed a singing group called The Engemann Trio. The group performed some, but it was in the late '50s when Engemann and fellow BYU alumnus Jim Pike teamed up with Tony Butala, a former Mitchell Boys Choir member, to form the Lettermen.
By that time, Karl was in the music industry working with Warner Bros. Records and eventually transferred to Capitol Records. Karl was the gateway the trio was looking for.
The group sold thousands of records with hits such as "The Way You Look Tonight," "Theme From A Summer Place," "Goin' Out of My Head/ Can't Take My Eyes Off of You Medley" and many more.
"Jeanette and I fell in love as we listened to that great music," Utah Gov. Gary Herbert stated in a letter to the Engemann family.
But even as the group's popularity continued to grow, Bobby was never swayed to change his standards or beliefs.
"He's one of the most Christlike men I know," Bobby's good friend Carl Bacon said. "He was a man of faith who loved the church."
"He always took advantage to teach and share the gospel," Danny said. "I had friends during high school come over and we would be getting ready to go to a football game and he would read a few scriptures with us before we left. Whatever he happened to be studying that day he would say, 'Oh, let me show you how neat this is; this is so cool.' There were times though that those messages were a little more focused if he was concerned about what would happen that night, just so if faced with temptation we would recall that message before."
Bobby even viewed his Lettermen opportunity as a way to share what he believed.
"He always felt that while he was on the road that he was an ambassador for the church," Danny said. "When he went on the road he always took extra (copies of the) Book of Mormon to hand out. He was always prepared to share the gospel. He was a missionary first his whole life."
Grenade Curran, a longtime friend, explained that it was always in Bobby's nature to stay true to the standards of the LDS Church. In fact, rather than celebrating the end of a concert by going to a bar as most performers did, Curran said Bobby would simply go out to get ice cream instead.

Saina beats Xin, tops Group B in Super Series Finals
New Delhi: Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal notched up a stunning straight-game victory over world number three Xin Wang in the last Group B match of the BWF Super Series Finals at Liuzhou in China on Friday.
World number four Saina, who has already qualified for the semifinals, beat Xin 21-17 22-20 in a 39-minute match to top Group B. She will take on Tine Baun of Denmark in the semifinal on Saturday.
The Indian is now just one step away from becoming the first Indian singles player to reach the summit clash of the Super Series Finals.
Jwala Gutta and V Diju are the only other Indians to have achieved the feat when the mixed doubles pair reached the finals in the 2009 edition of the tournament before losing to Christinna Pedersen and Joaquim Nielsen.
Trailing 4-8 at one point in the first game, Saina reeled off seven straight points to go past Xin and wrest the lead at 16-12 and held her ground to pocket the game.
In the second game, Saina opened up a 9-2 lead and moved to 17-11 but the Chinese was not the one to give without a fight as she first caught up with the Indian at 19-19 and then registered one more point to lead 20-19.
However, Saina was unfazed as she registered three straight points to shut the door on the Chinese.
With this win, Saina has improved her record against Xin, beating her twice this year even though the Chinese have defeated the Indian four times overall.
Despite the loss, Xin Wang also made it to the semifinals and she will take on compatriot world number one Yihan Wang in the other last-four stage match on Saturday.

Homemade Vegetable Cleaner
Yes, vegetables really should be washed to remove unseen pesticides, bacteria, and mold. Rinsing with water does a fair job, but to be safe, try the following:
Combine a cup each of water and white distilled vinegar in a spray bottle. Add two tablespoons of baking soda and one tablespoon of lemon juice. Use by first shaking, then spraying generously on your raw vegetables. Let sit for five minutes, rinse with water, then proceed with your cooking plans.
Thanks! You're on our list.
