Pablo Martinez Monsivais, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama moved Monday to get a new consumer protection bureau up and running, introducing a former Ohio attorney general as director, in an apparent acknowledgment that the woman who masterminded the agency couldn't win Senate confirmation.
In a Rose Garden ceremony under sunny skies, Obama announced he has chosen Richard Cordray to head the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. At the same time, Obama vowed to resist any efforts to block its work.
"We are going to stand up this bureau and ensure it is doing the right thing for middle class families all across the country," the president said.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was a central feature of a law Congress passed last year that overhauled the rules that govern the financial sector. The agency will serve as a government watchdog over mortgages, credit cards and other forms of lending when it officially begins its work on July 21.
Obama and Cordray were joined by Elizabeth Warren, a special assistant to the president who had been charged with getting the agency started. Warren is widely considered the architect of the bureau, and consumer groups wanted her to be named as its leader. But she was strongly opposed by Republicans and would have faced a difficult path to confirmation.
The president applauded Warren's work as an advocate for the American public.
"She's become perhaps the leading voice in our country on behalf of consumers," he said. "She's done it while facing some very tough opposition."
Some progressive groups, while complimentary of Cordray, made their continued preference for Warren known.
"With her track record of standing up to Wall Street and fighting for consumers, Elizabeth Warren was the best qualified to lead the bureau that she conceived," said Stephanie Taylor, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee.
The White House deflected questions about whether Obama chose Cordray to lead the bureau in order to avoid a protracted fight for Warren.
"The president is focused on moving this forward and he thinks Richard Cordray is the absolute right person to do the job," Obama spokesman Jay Carney said.
But Republicans have already threatened to block Senate confirmation for Cordray as well. The 52-year-old is considered a Warren ally and has been working with her as director of enforcement for the agency.
Republicans fought fiercely against the creation of the bureau last year and have been trying to place restrictions on its work. In May, all Senate Republicans joined in a letter to Obama threatening to withhold their support for any nominee to the position if the White House didn't seek significant changes to the agency.
On Monday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reiterated Republican opposition to the bureau in its current form, saying "we'll insist on serious reforms to bring accountability and transparency to the agency before we consider any nominee to run it."
The financial industry has also expressed concerns about the agency, worrying that it would restrict new products just when companies are seeking to replace profits squeezed by the new financial rules.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said it had deep concerns over how Cordray would use the agency's "broad powers."

Sir Stirling Moss and the Maserati 250F
Relevant offers
Customs & Classics
Timeless racing legend Sir Stirling Moss is to enjoy a few sessions behind the wheel of one of his favourite Grand Prix cars during this British Summer to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the lauded Italian Maserati marque.
So if you're going to be in the ''old country'' and you like cars as much as we do, get along to the Silverstone Classic on July 25-27.
What is likely to turn out to be the world's biggest ever F1 parade will mark 50 Grands Prix at Silverstone - a major milestone that will be reached in July. Maserati is the award-winning event's official "Celebration Marque" for 2014 and will be celebrating its first 100 years with a special cavalcade of its finest road and competition cars.
The special commemorations and parades will take place on the full Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit on "Super Sunday" (July 27), and, appropriately, both will be fronted by Moss driving a Maserati 250F.
Hailed as one of the greatest grand prix cars ever created, the 250F was pivotal in Moss' early F1 career. He raced one to his maiden grand prix podium at the superfast Spa-Francorchamps circuit in 1954, and in 1956 won at both Monaco and Monza when competing for the Maserati factory team.
Competing throughout the 2.5-litre Grand Prix Formula years of 1954-60, the Maserati 250F remains one of the most famous and iconic racing cars ever built. As well as Chris Amon and Sir Stirling Moss, Juan Fangio, and Mike Hawthorn also drove the 250F to success - during those halycon days, battling with Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, and Vanwall for Grand Prix supremacy.
The Maserati was campaigned from the 1954 Argentine Grand Prix, to the 1960 US Grand Prix, with many victories, and it still wins hearts at classic car events all over the world.
"It will be very, very special to lead both the wonderful parades in a 250F," enthused Moss, now aged 84.
"The Maserati is probably the most beautiful looking and user-friendly Formula One car ever built; it's delightful to drive and a real collector's item. It was also very important to me.
"Not many people know this, but my father went to see Mercedes in 1953 to ask Alfred Neubauer [the team's legendary F1 team manager] to give me a drive. He said that he'd been impressed by my driving in crappy cars but wanted to see me in something that could win. So we bought the Maserati. My first race was the Swiss Grand Prix at the tricky Bremgarten circuit and, in the wet, I put the Maserati on pole in front of [Juan-Manuel] Fangio, [Alberto] Ascari and all the Mercedes. As I said, it was a fantastic car to drive."
The Maserati 250F that Moss will be driving at Silverstone is the chassis that was originally raced by Roy Salvadori back in the 50s and is one of just 26 produced. In total, the 250F won eight grands prix and was instrumental not only in establishing Moss as one of Britain's top sporting stars but also in the great Fangio winning world championship titles in both 1954 and 1957.
"It's always wonderful when things fall into place so perfectly," enthused event director Nick Wigley.
"To have Sir Stirling Moss - the only British driver ever to win a grand prix in a Maserati - leading both parades in a magical 250F is just the best possible scenario. Even in our wildest dreams, we couldn't have hoped for a finer sight."

Wonders of our Lives
Among other wonders of our lives, we are alive
with one another, we walk here
in the light of this unlikely world
that isn't ours for long.
May we spend generously
the time we are given.
May we enact our responsibilities
as thoroughly as we enjoy
our pleasures. May we see with clarity,
may we seek a vision
that serves all beings, may we honor
the mystery surpassing our sight,
and may we hold in our hands
the gift of good work
and bear it forth whole, as we
were borne forth by a power we praise
to this one Earth, this homeland of all we love.

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Check BNN and Bulbanews for up-to-date Pokémon news and discuss it on the forums or in our IRC channel #bulbagarden on irc.systemnet.info.
Type (TCG)
Types play as large a part in the Pokémon TCG as they do in the video games. Both Pokémon and Energy cards can be one or more of these types. Similarly, a Pokémon can and probably will have a Weakness and Resistance to other types.
Unlike in the games, there are only eleven known types. Originally, there were only seven known types: Grass , Fire , Water , Lightning , Fighting , Psychic , and Colorless . In later expansions, four more types have been added: Darkness , Metal , Dragon , and Fairy .
Also, unlike the games, when a Pokémon attacks, the type of damage it does is based on the Pokémon's own type and not the type of Energy the attack requires. For example, although Dark Golduck uses Psychic energy to power both of its attacks, the attacks do double damage against a Pokémon weak to Water because Dark Golduck's TCG type is Water in this instance.
Because of the limited number of types, many of the 18 types found in the games have been combined into one of the TCG types. For example, Fighting-, Rock- and Ground-types in the games are instead combined into the Fighting in the TCG. However, in keeping with Pokémon tradition, the Weakness and Resistance of certain Pokémon are similar to their weaknesses in the games. For example, even though Glalie is a Water-type in the TCG, it is weak to Metal, much like how in the core series, Glalie, as an Ice-type, is weak to Steel.
Another difference between the games and the TCG is how damage is calculated according to Weakness and Resistance. Beginning with Base Set, if a Pokémon had a Weakness to another Pokémon's type, that damage done was doubled, and if a Pokémon had a Resistance to another Pokémon's type, that damage was reduced by 30 damage points. This system was set and did not vary between Pokémon, types and sets. However, beginning with the Diamond & Pearl set, the Weakness and Resistance system was changed slightly to allow for variation for how damage was adjusted, such as a Weakness that added 30 damage instead of doubling it, or a Resistance reducing damage by 20 instead of 30. Now, most Pokémon with a Weakness once again take double the damage, while most Pokémon with a Resistance reduce the damage by 20.
Sometimes, special Pokémon, such as Pokémon-ex and the like, will have more than one Weakness and/or Resistance. Likewise, other special Pokémon may have more than one type, a feature introduced in the EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua expansion, with Pokémon that were part Darkness and part their normal type. Eventually, the EX Holon subseries would introduce Pokémon with another secondary type, this time Metal.
Despite this standard categorization, however, some Pokémon may be featured as a different type.

Embarrassment of a secretary of state says world leaders tell him GOP candidates are an embarrassment to the U.S.
**Written by Doug Powers
After last week's attack in Brussels that was backed by the group Obama previously dismissed as "contained" and the "JV team," the secretary of state who thought the Paris climate change agreement was an "in your face" to ISIS and whose idea of counterterror "shock & awe" is a stern hashtag and a James Taylor concert had the gall to pin the "national embarrassment" label on somebody other than himself:
Secretary of State John Kerry said in an interview broadcast Sunday that U.S. election-year political rhetoric has become "an embarrassment to our country" in foreign capitals.
"Everywhere I go, every leader I meet, they ask about what is happening in America. They cannot believe it," Mr. Kerry said on CBS's "Face the Nation," in response to a question about overseas reaction to statements by Republicans in the wake of last week's terrorist attacks in Brussels. "I think it is fair to say that they're shocked… It upsets people's sense of equilibrium about our steadiness, about our reliability. And to some degree, I must say to you, some of the questions, the way they're posed to me, it's clear to me that what's happening is an embarrassment to our country."
That last sentence is the most unintentionally honest thing Kerry's ever said.

Not interested personally, as I definitely want the Burns family figures if I bother collecting Rescue Bots at all. Wonder if they're a TRU exclusive, or something intended for dollar stores that TRU jumped on for some reason.

Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom.
Then Bernadette disappears. It began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette's intensifying allergy to Seattle - and people in general - has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands. A trip to the end of the earth is problematic.
To find her mother, Bee compiles email messages, official documents, secret correspondence - creating a compulsively readable and touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter's role in an absurd world.
©2012 Maria Semple (P)2012 Hachette Audio
"Not Enthralled"
Story could have been good but narrator was hard to differentiate between characters. Couldn't tell if it was Bernadette or B half the time. Painful to get through.
"Go for the story, stay for the narrator"
Writing humor alone is a difficult task. Making it farce is even harder. Combining that with a novel plot and distinct characters is almost unheard of. And to do it in epistolary format??? OMG as Bee's friends would say. Oh and then there's heart. This novel has it and all that other stuff in spades.
When it first came out, Where'd You Go, Bernadette? got lots of attention. People raved over it. I resisted. So many books aimed at women are just too sentimental for me and I put this in that bucket. Allow me to take it out. Sentimental is not something I'd call Bernadette, or anyone else in the book. Sure, it's the story of a family and one whose members are genuinely connected to each other. But it isn't soppy and the kid, Bee, isn't an eyesore. I liked her which is really hard to make me do. Bernadette's past and present are effectively mysterious and the cast of neighbors and hangers on are fabulous. The ending, while not assured, is reassuring and appropriate.
The narrator, Kathleen Wilhoite, did a great job overall. No, her men's voices weren't distinct one from another, but her women were. Epistolary format presents challenges galore for a narrator and she hurdled them all with ease.
I'm a graduate student from Flint, MI. My day job affords me hours to enjoy audio books while I work. Self-professed Narrator Snob!
"No one is as they seem"
First off I have to say the narrator did a phenomenal job! I thought I recognized her voice so I looked her up and realized she's PEPPER ANN, from my favorite TV show when I was a kid! Total bonus!
Ok, on to the story. I'm not normally a "found footage" novel type of person but this book is different. Because of the multiple story-tellers and the different voices the narrative world is rich and beautiful, even in it's tragedy.
This book lives with me as a constant reminder that no one is as simple as they seem, and no one has an easy life. Even our worst day is someone else's wish. I love this book. I've listened to it at least 3 times now. I will never get enough Bernadette!
"Fun read"
Quirky fun read. I fell in love with the characters and enjoyed the performance of the reader. Worth the time
"Overacting practically ruined the book for me"
This book came highly recommended by a friend of mine, whose opinion I value. However, I'm pretty sure my impression of the novel was ruined by the incredible overacting of the story's reader. I listened to the story with my mother, as we drove across the country, and we had to pause it every 30 minutes or so, to re-interpret (act out) a dialogue between the characters in the way that we imagined the author really intended.
That said, the story itself is pretty great. Perhaps save it for a read, instead of a listen?
Well, I'm pretty sure I would've loved the mother, Bernadette, if she hadn't been so overacted. She was irreverent, brilliant, hilarious, and tragic all at once. I love complex characters!
NO. In fact, I'm going to be incredibly careful about my audiobook purchases from now on, so that I don't have to sit through hours of another performance like that.
As long as Kathleen didn't play any of the characters, YES!
"Spare us the overly dramatic narration, please!"
The over-wrought narration ruined this book. Please ship her off to Antarctica! It's insulting to listen to her ridiculously strained narration.
ANYONE! She is AWFUL. I'll be sure to stay away from ANYTHING that she narrates.
"Loved it"
Yes, I loved the narrator & it was an interesting story
The way it's told through emails & letters
I liked how she gave each character their own voice
Yes, sometimes I'd get home from work & just sit in the driveway listening
"Good first three quarters, let down by the ending"
I think the print would have been better in this instance.
With reservations.
No. The foreign accents were terrible. The voice of the 15 year old Bee sounded like a 5 year old. There was too much overly dramatic voicing of the characters' internal monologue, particularly from Bee.
I liked the concept but the story was let down by the last quarter of the book. The narrator was also a real problem for me. Her voice was terribly whiney and "gee-whiz" childish when voicing Bee's part and that is also why the last quarter was so painful as so much was from Bee in that part.
Grateful for Audible. Love this company that provides hours of entertainment and helps me sleep at night.
"Enjoyable light listening"
Creative, Hilarius, Surprising
The narrator's voice was perfect for this story. She was as entertaining as the story was. They blended so well!
Her infection was so enjoyable. She made the book so much more humorous than I would have know had I read the book.
This book was a little exaggerated but in some ways ironically believable.
I love all things ending in "ook", like book, cook and hook. These are my main hobbies and I can oftentimes do two of them simulataneously.
"Big Waste of Time!"
I cannot think of one single thing I enjoyed about this book. Oh, I quit reading it--that freed me of pain, agony, irritation. This book offered nothing of real interest. It's all fluff even though it seems it was supposed to be humorous and entertaining. Sorry, I just couldn't stand the shouting of the narrator, the dribble of the characters, the supposed humor that fell flat, etc.
I plan to listen to the next Cork O'Conner by William Kent Krueger. There's a cast of characters I enjoy!
I thought I would enjoy this particular book as a narrated book but i don't think I could have enjoyed this is any format. I hated all the shouting voices, the dull voice of the psychiatrist, and all of the memos or whatever.

I'm certainly not going to pay $2,000 for this, but hopefully this means that the set will show up at Marshall's or something. The only semi-interesting thing about the set is the battle droids, which are TPM tan repaints of the Geonosis Arena/Saga Legends versions; the only other way to get one in this color scheme is to get the TPM Blu-ray commemorative set, along with the same Maul, Obi-Wan, and Qui-Gon figures you already have 76 times over. And even this would have been more exciting before the release of the far superior Vintage battle droid. But more Gungan Warriors is always a good thing, even if it's just a repack with another version's accessories.
I wouldn't have bought this at retail. And while this auction makes it look like this particular item will be rare due to not being released, I don't think I'd pay 2,000 dollars for it. Just not interested in gungans, and I don't army build battle droids.

U.S. pilots have total mastery of the fabled "high ground" of war. And yet throughout the Greater Middle East, America's conflicts rage on with no endgame in sight.
The prison is the symbol of everything that is wrong with the United States' so-called war on terror.
With Memorial Day in the rearview mirror, many Americans have already stopped thinking about our wars and the casualties from them for another year. As for me, it's been Memorial Day ever since I first met Tomas Young.
"We need a foreign policy based on building coalitions ... [not] perpetual warfare in the Middle East," Sanders said in a statement.

Iraqi troops are advancing on Fallujah despite facing fierce resistance from Islamic State, but fear is mounting about the fate of the tens of thousands of noncombatants inside the city who are caught in the crossfire.
Although she is currently the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, in the past Power has called out Kissinger for his role in human rights abuses.
Historians will see Obama's Iran nuclear deal as one of the greatest achievements of his presidency, and perhaps as a turning point in anti-proliferation through diplomacy.
Jill McDonough's poem on the planes that followed and photographed the atomic bombs the U.S. dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan during World War II is a harrowing depiction of the justifications that follow mass destruction.
I hope you'll forgive me if I suggest that the Iraq-Syria War against Islamic State is being conveyed to us via Snapchat. Important things happen, they appear in front of us, and then ... POOF! They're gone.
By mutual consent of those in power in Washington, all resistance to illegal surveillance, detainment and murder is now firmly in the past, and the power to use them will pass to the nation's next leader—whoever it is.
President Barack Obama visited Hiroshima on Friday, the first sitting U.S. president to do so since the World War II atomic bombings of Japan. To acknowledge the historic trip, Truthdig reposts Editor in Chief Robert Scheer's 2007 piece recalling the bombings.
The Jesuit writer and activist's death is a reminder of the necessity—and power—of protest in America.
In a place where catastrophic food insecurity may tip into starvation at any time, where armed men still arrive in the night to steal and rape, a local aid worker wants—seemingly needs—to know if Donald Trump could actually be elected president of the United States.
To many Americans, Clinton is best-known for her advocacy of a national health care system, her assertion that it takes a village to raise a child, and her championing of women's empowerment. The rest of the world knows her better for her passion for bombing.

The leading Republican presidential candidate called out the massive ruin caused by the "dangerous idea" that the U.S. "could make Western democracies out of countries that had no experience or interest in becoming a Western democracy."
In mid-April, economist Michael Hudson told The Real News Network that global oil and mining industries and the U.S. State Department created Panama and Liberia for the express purpose of tax evasion.
Even if the accusations against Abu Zubaydah had been true, what the CIA did to him—with the knowledge and approval of the highest government officials—is a prime example of the kind of still-unpunished crimes that officials such as Dick Cheney, George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld committed in the so-called global war on terror.
"Has something gone adrift within the moral compass of our 'news' reporting?" asks Robert Fisk at The Independent.
Spencer Ackerman of The Guardian interviews six families on how their lives have been changed by U.S. drone strikes.
Peaceful compromise is often the last resort for the United States. An excerpt from David Swanson's book, "War Is a Lie: Second Edition," looks at how the U.S. foreign policy approach applies to two countries in the Middle East.
Through inaction, the legislative branch has surrendered the final remnant of authority it retained on matters relating to whether, when, against whom, and for what purpose the United States should go to war.
Islamic extremism was virtually unknown 50 years ago, and suicide bombings were inconceivable. So, what happened?
Not one of the hundreds of foreign correspondents who chronicled the bombing of Madrid during the Spanish Civil War looked up at the ominous V-shaped formations of Hitler's bombers and wondered: Whose fuel is powering those aircraft?
In October 2012, I considered five critical foreign policy questions that were not being discussed by then-candidates Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. Sadly, those questions remain as pertinent and unraised today as they were four years ago. Unlike then, however, answers may be at hand, and believe me, that's not good news.
The headlines Friday about the GOP debate in Miami stressed how relatively civil it was, with less name-calling and pissing matches among the remaining candidates. Those editors have a weird definition of civility.
Yearly do-overs are a hell of a way to run a war, but they're a great mechanism for ensuring that no one will need to take responsibility for a disaster of 14 years and counting.
The crowd that gathered in an airplane hangar in the desert roared with excitement when the man on stage vowed to murder women and children.
At yet another GOP debate, there was a foreign policy section, which Fox News predictably put under the heading of "terrorism."
You could think of American war in the 21st century as an ongoing experiment in proving just that point.
The WikiLeaks founder tells Americans that his "years of experience in dealing with Hillary Clinton" and the "thousands of her cables" he's read have led him to a crucial conclusion.
In the American failure in Afghanistan lies the greatest policy paradox of the century: Washington's massive military juggernaut has been stopped dead in its steel tracks by a pink flower, the opium poppy.
In this week's "Scheer Intelligence"—the Truthdig editor-in-chief's podcast on KCRW—Vietnam veteran, author and peace activist Ron Kovic discusses what has changed and what hasn't since his time in combat.
The Pentagon has immense difficulty shouldering blame for its massively fatal failures and wrongdoing, and thus suffers from an institutional version of affluenza.
If you didn't have a chance to watch the Republican debate Saturday night, or simply want a refresher, here are some of the most important moments.
The New Hampshire GOP debate's most charged moments may have been mostly on domestic issues, but—inevitably with this gang—war, torture and sundry mayhem did make an appearance.
War is hell. Unless, of course, you happen to be a global corporate peddler of rockets, drones, bombs and all the other hellish weaponry of military conflict.
Instead of considered discussion of first-order security concerns, the candidates have regularly opted for bluff and bluster, their chief aim being to remove all doubts regarding their hawkish bona fides.
Here, amid Washington's remarkably unwinnable wars, interventions, and conflicts, is a range of tomorrow's headlines that could be written today and stand a painfully reasonable chance of coming true.
Dickey Chapelle, the first female American war correspondent to be killed in action, is featured in a new pictorial memoir that collects her photos and notebooks from World War II to Vietnam.
Increasing worldwide stockpiles of surplus plutonium are becoming a political embarrassment, a worrying security risk and a hidden extra cost to the nuclear industry.
Americans overestimate the risk of attacks by a factor of 1.7 million.
Some advice for your presidential candidate of choice—whoever he or she might be. Just don't expect it to necessarily be an easy sell to all Americans.
The GOP presidential debate Thursday night veered even further right on international issues, given the absence of Rand Paul, who represents the party's libertarian wing, which is less interested in foreign wars.
Contrary to expectations that revenues would fall as the U.S. downsized its military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan, the professional services firm Deloitte gushes in a new report that "the resurgence of global security threats" promises a lucrative "rebound" in military spending.
Journalists and rivals called Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz on his inane and ruthless suggestion that the United States begin carpet-bombing Islamic State forces in Syria. But his poll numbers still crept up.
Roughly 30,000 residents of a Syrian town a few dozen miles from the capital, Damascus, say they are trapped and dying of starvation as a result of a monthslong siege by forces loyal to President Bashar Assad.
There's nothing like the heady combination of a "populist" Republican race for the presidency and a national hysteria over terrorism to make Americans want to reach for those "enhanced interrogation techniques."
In a Turkish city near the Syrian conflict zone, an ancient tide of passions—both human and political—moves millions.

Stueckle Catches Attention Receiver/Kicker Likes Whits' Playoff Chances
Here's a word that hasn't been said by anyone from the Whitworth College football team since John F. Kennedy was elected president.
Enter wide receiver and kicker Matt Stueckle, child of the Clinton era, full of boyish exuberance and renewed optimism.
"I think this team, if we keep playing like we know how, we could go to the playoffs this year," Stueckle said.
The last and only time the Pirates qualified into the postseason was 1960. They lost to Humboldt State 13-6 in the first round.
But two straight wins and a 2-2 start (1-0 NCIC) has the former Lewis and Clark High player thinking - and talking - big.
Pirates third-year coach John Tully is a bit more careful with his words.
"The only thing I speak of is for them to give a great effort in practice and that will hopefully carry over. I think we've improved each week and hopefully we can improve this week," said Tully, whose team plays host to Linfield College in Saturday's homecoming game.
Stueckle, a 6-foot-1, 165-pound sophomore, has made major contributions to Whitworth's success.
As a punter, he's leading the Northwest Conference, averaging 37.9 yards a punt in 24 kicks. His longest punt was 65 yards. The majority of his punts land inside the end zone. He also has two kicks that stopped inside the 5-yard line.
In points after touchdowns, Stueckle is a perfect 12 for 12. He hasn't had a field goal attempt this year, but Tully said he wouldn't hesitate to use him from 45 yards and in.
In high school, Stueckle recalled kicking a 43-yard field goal against Shadle Park his junior year. In college practices, he's nailed 55 to 60 yarders.
"When I was smaller, my parents had me play soccer. So when the coach started coming around to ask if I could kick, well, I can kick." Stueckle explained.
But he considers himself a receiver.
In four games this season, Stueckle has 10 receptions for 155 yards, second to Ivan Gustafson's 10 catches for 228 yards. Stueckle has three TD receptions and has scored 30 of the team's 84 points.
"He's got great hands and has the ability to get open," Tully said. "And he's got pretty good speed. The big key is he's a year older."
Stueckle, a physical education major, said he decided on Whitworth because he wanted to be near home. His father, Arnie, also played on the Bucs' football team.
As a freshman, Stueckle had nine catches for 154 yards. He tied the team in TD receptions with three.
Not bad numbers for a team that won one game last year.
"This year, I think a lot of it is attitude," Stueckle said. "We were sick of losing. A lot of teams came in and thought, 'Oh, it's just Whitworth."'
On the last game of the '96 season, Linfield came away with a 40-20 win over Whitworth in McMinnville, Ore. The Wildcats lead the series 16-3-2.
Linfield, NAIA Division II champion in 1982, 1984 and 1986, is coming off a 5-4 season. The team has had 41 consecutive winning seasons, one short of the national record shared by Notre Dame and Harvard.
This season, the Cats are off to a 1-2 start with a win against Southern Oregon and back-to-back losses to Western Oregon and Western Washington.
Junior quarterback Brian Higgins is 44 of 98 in passing for 661 yards and two TDs. Damian Putney leads the Bucs in rushing with 238 yards on 76 carries and four touchdowns.

Topic: Non-Natives
Title: Care for non-native bougainvillea in Blackfoot, ID
Answered by: Anne Bossart
QUESTION:Can I plant Bougainvillea in Blackfoot, ID? I would like to plant it but am concerned about the harsh winter killing it off.
Bougainvillea is a plant native to Brazil which will not survive the winter outdoors in Idaho, but can be grown sucessfully indoors under the right conditions.
According to the University of Saskatchewan Extension service Bougainvilleas demand a minimum of 4 hours of direct sunlight and bright indirect light at other times. Without good light they will not flower and they may lose their leaves. They do well in normal room temperature. This can be lower in winter but never below 10C.
Water moderately during their period of active growth (spring through fall), allowing the upper 2.5 cm (i in.) of soil to dry out between waterings but never the entire root ball. If they become too dry they will shed their leaves. They will need less water in winter and should have good drainage at all times.
Pot in a loam-based media with added peat moss. They can be repotted each spring up to a maximum of a 20 cm (8 in.) pot, after which they should be top dressed annually with the same type of potting mixture.
Fertilize them every 2 weeks during their period of active growth with a complete soluble houseplant fertilizer with micronutrients (such as 20-20-20). Follow the label directions.
Personal experience tells me that the trick to success with this plant indoors is a bright location which is cooler than room temperature in the wintertime (50's and 60's) but not below freezing.

Another town's treasure
There are 14 comments on the North Adams Transcript story from Jan 8, 2009, titled Another town's treasure. In it, North Adams Transcript reports that:Just what the Adams Selectmen needed was more egg on their face, but that's what they got with the recent news that William Ketcham, the town administrator they ditched in September, has emerged as the top ...

Give me a break! Give me a new editor!!!
Seems to have a strong dislike for some of the selectmen and the Town of Adams. Perhaps it's time for a new editor.
#2 Jan 8, 2009
Mybe circulation will increase!
#3 Jan 8, 2009
Or it's time for a new board of selectmen. In The Know must be on the board himself or related to a member. Anyone truly In The Know would know what was done this past summer to Mr. Ketchum on behalf of the town was certainly NOT in the towns best interests. I agree that it's time for Mr. Solomon and Mr. MacDonald to take their leave of the board to make room for some with the publics interest in mind.
#4 Jan 8, 2009
it seems like the town does not keep town administators to long. all because of the bozos on the board of selectmen. and old mcdonnld , if you can not take the heat , get the hell out of the kitchen.
#5 Jan 8, 2009
pain man is right, the proof that it wasn't Ketcham is that he's just one of many that have cut and run before their time was up.
#6 Jan 9, 2009
The issue has never been the town itself. The town itself holds a lot of promise and has good people. It's the board and always has been the board. This one is the worst in recent memory. It's not that they are not individually capable or good people themselves. I actually like a few of them as people. They as a unit, had the ability to do wonderful things. They have not. In my opinion, they, relative to the tasks at hand, are just simply lazy, self-centered and out of touch with the reality of true town governance (not Adams town governance as politics is played). Whether or not you have shared, elected responsibilities by design in municipal government, it only really works of some one emerges as the leader; the person who can rally the troops, build the bridges and pull all the issues together. There is no one on the current board who seemingly wants to do this and administrator after administrator has complained about the boards dysfunction and ultimately has left.
#7 Jan 9, 2009
Anyone In The KNow would know that what happened was in the best interests of the town. Mr. Ketcham is a very nice man, but sometimes nice guys finish last. perhaps he just could not complete the projects in a timely manner - I believe there is more to this story than meets the eyes. I don't believe that even this board of selectmen would get rid of someone who was doing their job.
#8 Jan 9, 2009
Yea, they would. Whatever you think Fact. Unfortunately, most of the time, your facts make absolutely no sense. There is more to the story alright...$$$five figures worth on the high end. Of course, the way our illustrious board has stone-walled and denied the people the plain facts, we may never know. The way this was handled is enough to hope that these clowns never have a chance to screw up this badly again.
#9 Jan 9, 2009
It's like deja-vu, all over again.
You say the same things all the time. You never give facts, figures, etc. You, like many others on the blogs, just blow off steam without one ounce of truth.
There are some people who, if they don't already know, you can't tell 'em.
#10 Jan 13, 2009
Honestly, we know everyone has an opinion, but if it was in the best interest in the town to get rid of Mr. Ketcham then we would have already a new Town Administrator by now. The town has gone nearly four and half months without a full time Administrator. Anyone wonder why we don't have one yet? Is it that big of mystery?
#11 Jan 13, 2009
Other than leave, what other major accomplishments did Mr Ketcham complete. Frankly, the town might be better suited to change the charter and dump the whole administror position. It would save us all a couple cents in the tax bill and to be honest, I don't think I have gotten two cents worth out of all of the administrators combined. Further, it will prevent the golden parachute deals like a couple selectmen or should I say selectpersons tried to give away not too long ago. Then again, it was only the taxpayers money so who cares?
#12 Jan 14, 2009
Seeing that Jack failed to see my point which simply put is, if Mr. Ketcham was doing that bad of job, it would be a little easier to replace him. Just because no one is toting his major accomplishments which include by the way assisting in securing grant monies, he did a lot to improve assisting the town infrastructure. Plain and simple yet again, Mr. Ketcham was NOT a yes man and did NOT go with board most of the time and the board ALSO said they were going to set goals for the Administrator but FAILED to do so. When it comes down to it Jack, the board failed the people and therefore wasted our, the taxpayer's money. And remember, we all can sit back and talk, but it takes certain type of person to say, I can do that job or I will be able to achieve what I say, what we have in Adams are wanna be professional politician's. When is the last time we had a board that actually did what it said it was going to? Anyone remember Joe Levefrve? Ed Driscoll? George Haddad? Chris Soloari? Barbra Meczywor? or even Earl Kelly? What we need are the people to step up to the plate and run. Yes its a thankless job, but someone has to do it and I know there are better people than can do the job.
#13 Jan 14, 2009
The decision to replace the town administrator should have nothing to do with the prior administrators performance. When the town is ready it will post the position. "My Two Cents" I agree with you on one point, it is a thankless job on the Board. I also think MacDonald and Soloman are doing a great job. Anyone that reads these blogs knows the game. The election is coming and somehow calling people boobs and stooges makes some people feel somehow as though they are making a positive contribution. Some people have an axe to grind, be it personal or political. That is unfortunately the nature of the beast. I think for the most part, this is one of the best Boards we have had in a while. We have one member who seems to like to use the Transcript to crisize the others but aside from that, they have my utmost respect. Most of all, I think they at least try to do what is right. It wasn't too long ago that I wouldn't have said that.
#14 Jan 21, 2009
Gee = maybe we should ask them to come back? Who gave the golden parachute toJim Leitch?
Not this board.
