2009-10 Basketball Season Preview
Oct. 15, 2009 East Carolina may have lost two of its best all-time three-point shooters, but the development of a core group of returning players - Jamar Abrams, Darrius Morrow, Chad Wynn and Brock Young - has third-year head coach Mack McCarthy feeling optimistic about his Pirates this season. ECU returns eight lettermen from last year's 13-17 team, including three players with 24 or more starts, and another who started 11 games after Conference USA play began. The Pirates also added four highly acclaimed freshmen. A year ago the Pirates were a perimeter-oriented team, setting school records for three-point field goals made and attempted. During the year ahead, ECU will be looking to get the ball in the paint more with a foursome of players listed at 6-foot-7 or taller. "This upcoming season we should be more inside-oriented, a better passing team and an improved rebounding team," said McCarthy. "We have more players who can drive the basketball and finish in the half court and in transition. "The problem is youth and the big question is whether anyone will develop into the consistent go-to guy, inside or out." The maturation of Morrow and Wynn, along with the return of DaQuan Joyner and addition of 6-foot-9 freshman Darius Morales, will give the Pirates a much-improved frontline. With Joyner in the lineup, the Pirates had a plus-two average rebounding margin, while without him they were outrebounded by an average of two boards per game.
Statistically, ECU will look to improve its rebounding margin for a second consecutive season under McCarthy in 2009-10. The Pirates improved from 12th to ninth in Conference USA in rebounding offense last season.
"We made some strides to where [rebounding] wasn't a huge negative last year," stated McCarthy. Morrow and Wynn, both Atlanta natives, return to anchor the Pirates' frontcourt and will each have the opportunity to emerge as the go-to guy. While both players showed what they were capable of doing last season in spurts, coach McCarthy is looking for his towering duo to be more consistent this season and draw more attention to open space for their teammates. An all Conference USA All-Freshman Team performer last season, Morrow became a steadier player as the year progressed as he averaged 10.4 points over the final seven games. He ranked among the top three rookies in both scoring and rebounding and is the fifth leading returning rebounder (6.7 rpg) in C-USA this season. While he recorded a trio of double-doubles against non-Conference USA foes, Morrow's coming out party came in Dallas against SMU where he scored 21 points and grabbed seven rebounds to help the Pirates earn their first C-USA road win of the season. "Darrius showed glimpses of his outstanding talent and will be more consistent," McCarthy commented. "He has proven that he can play with the best players in the league at his position." McCarthy hopes that Wynn will also surface as a player that can compete among the best at his position. "Chad was dominant in several games last season and has worked really hard to improve his agility and conditioning," he explained. "It's now up to him to become more consistent." Wynn showed that he has the potential to put up big numbers on numerous nights last season, including a 21-point output at Rice, 16-point performance against Marshall and a 12-rebound game at Clemson. He also has the ability to be a defensive presence and returns as the second-leading shot blocker in the league. Joyner makes his return to the court after missing most of the 2008-09 season with an injury. He played in the first five games last season before being shut down. Although he has only played in 17 games since arriving on campus, Joyner has been able to observe from the sidelines and gain a better perspective on how to play. In his final game before being lost for the season, Joyner scored 12 points and grabbed eight rebounds against VCU, providing a glimpse of what type of player he could become. The addition of Morales gives the Pirates a long and athletic player in the post whose defensive skills are ahead of his offensive potential as the fall semester begins. He spent the summer playing for Puerto Rico in the FIBA U19 World Championship. His development over the course of the season could pay dividends for the Pirates during conference play. Responsible for distributing the basketball again this year will be Young, the league's leader in assists per game last season. He finished his sophomore campaign ranked second in the NCAA in assists per game (7.6), second only to Oakland's Jonathan Jones, and set a new school record for assists in a season with 227. Young is the Pirates' top returning scorer and one of only two players on this year's roster to average double figures last season. He ranked third on the team in scoring last year, averaging 10.6 points per game. He led the team in double-doubles with six, including a 17-point, 14-assist performance against Rice. The only other player to average double figures scoring last season was Abrams, who numbers steadily improved as the season progressed. Abrams averaged 8.0 points against non-conference opponents, before compiling and 11.8 points per game average versus Conference USA foes, scoring double figures in nine league games. He was the Pirates' second leading scorer in conference play and its top rebounder (5.9 rpg). In the home finale against UAB, Abrams recorded the first double-double of his career with 18 points and 10 boards, which was followed by a 13-point night at UCF to ensure that he finished the year averaging double figures. "Jamar showed flashes of being that [go-to guy]," McCarthy said. "He became more consistent as the year went on and that bodes well for this season." Jontae Sherrod and Chris Turner will each see action at the two-guard position. Both players saw limited action behind the starters last season, but will now be given the opportunity to play extended minutes. Sherrod came off the bench to average 4.1 points as a sophomore, while Turner, who missed the preseason with an injury, averaged 3.3 points as a freshman reserve. The Pirates' trio freshmen guards are also expected to compete for a vast amount of playing time. Wakefield Ellison and Erin Straughn are natural wing players who are very skilled, while Corvonn Gaines is primarily a ball handler. "All of our freshmen will have a chance to play right away," McCarthy said. "These four joining our returnees give us more depth than we had a year ago. This will certainly be beneficial playing the up-tempo style we like to play." Walk-ons Greyson Sargent, Howard Hurt and Evan Salzano add backcourt depth. Sargent is the only senior on the team and has been one of its most valuable players. Hurt redshirted last season and is expected to be a bigger asset this year. Salzano was invited to walk-on the team after spending his first year of college as a practice player for the ECU women's team. |

Twitter Explodes at State Capitol

State capitol reporter Bente Birkeland takes a look at the explosion of twitter this session, and how it's shaping the public policy debate under the gold dome.

Almost half of Irish people believe it is acceptable to slap a child as punishment, a new survey has found.
Commissioned by Newstalk, the new survey found that 49 per cent of Irish people thought it was acceptable to slap a child at least under some circumstances, with 49 per cent saying they had actually done so.
According to TheJournal.ie, some respondents admitted to feeling guilty after slapping a child, and claimed that they only ever did so out of frustration, although one respondent answered: 'A little tip on the hand or bum never done anyone any harm.'
However, a recent Canadian study found that spanking erodes developmental growth in children and decreases a child's IQ.
The new Irish survey, which collected responses from nearly 800 people, also found that a quarter of people believe Irish parents dress their children inappropriately for their age.
39.5 percent believed it was acceptable to give alcohol to a minor, while slightly less, 38.9 per cent, said it was never acceptable, while the remainder did not know.
In separate questions, 2.3 percent of Irish people said it was acceptable to allow a child to smoke cigarettes and cannabis, although over 90 percent said it was never acceptable to do so.
70 percent of respondents to the survey said they believed they were a good parent.
I have seen Irish parents use sticks,rods,canes to hit kids,,I have heard them complain of hurting their hands will hitting children across their heads..I have seen blood seeping from wounds across the backs of legs from the impacts of full force full swing lashes of the cane on young children of 6,7,8,9,10 years and more.I have seen them punched and kicked by their parents.these parents are all holy catholic and never swear,never miss going to church,always give money to the holy priest.They outcast anyone who has children born out of wedlock and shun those kids!This is why I hate the Irish catholic church!
I agree a light tap ok,never when you are angry,only on the butt or upper arm. You never want to hurt the child and only with your open hand because if your hand stings they you are wrong.
@alisaann.I understand your concern that smacking could hurt a child if a parent wasn't careful.But the reality is I never heard of a parent breaking a child's leg/legs because they hit them too hard by accident.I'm talking about an open handed smack across the legs.Out of experience I have found my hand has come out the worse of any encounter with my children's legs.I respect your opinion on not smacking kids because I always hated doing it.But it works because my teenagers are happy and told me they had a great childhood and I can see they are happy.For me and I would imagine for every parent all you want is for your kids to be happy.How you rear your kids is your own business.But I am happy to give you the benefit of my years of experience in the hope you don't totally reject the use of the odd smack to discipline your child when all else fails.If you have always been able to get your boyfriends/husband/parents/friends to understand your point of view without getting angry at them at times then for you are skilled enough to never smack your kids.;))
If ya want to scare a kid, tell them you'll lock them in the devils house and have a shed painted black down the back o the garden, with the window blackened out.
While 50 percent don't,glass half full anybody?
Do you think that because upon listening to our mammies and our grannies comical advice; we were brought up to believe that a slap/smack for misbehaving as well as a shot of whiskey for teething/toothache has made SOME OF US a bunch of alcoholic partner beaters??? Not forgetting the Celtic tiger attitude amongst many, which brought a whole new age of spoilt brats, that those alcoholic partner beaters are now also unable to cope without getting their own way!!! Sorry for blasting this page with random thoughts on this subject, but I dislike when a survey speaks for me without asking me first!
PS....somebody compared gun laws to slapping earlier..I find this interesting as to teach a child patience is to be patient, to teach a child anger, is to be angry, to teach a child how to resolve a situation without violence, is to be non violent. Who knows, is it the parent or the child at fault and is the hand that slaps, any different to the hand that holds the gun in anger? @ Ciara,Please don't use "We" when speaking for the Irish people on this issue. I am Irish and I dont agree with it, yet I'm sure those who do are not out to harm their children!! :-)
Well, I didn't take the survey! I don't believe in slapping, I think its when an adult looses control over themselves to they tend to use physical force to get a child's attention and scare them into submission. I think how each were brought up is usually how they in turn bring their own up. Its harder to shake a habit of hitting than practicing staying calm and finding a way around it. I see it every day here, parents hand their children high sugar and colour foods to "Treat" them and when the child's body and brain react, the parent slaps them. Its really sad to watch. I'm not saying this is the case for every parent slapping, but I don't find it necessary and my children are very well behaved. We use the step along with a wee chat!
@ciradexy, you're right. Some kids are more difficult to discipline than others. One style of disciplining doesn't work for all children. That's why I never tell other people how to discipline their kids. Parents have to do what works for them to get their children to behave appropriately - short of abuse, of course.
JamieLM, well said. My friend has 3 kids. The first 2 are very well behaved kids who she never slapped because for what ever reason, she was able to talk to them and they listened. The youngest however, is a brat and never listens to her. So she slapped him a couple of times for things like putting his finger in a socket and switching on the gas on the cooker. He hasnt done either since.
@sirpeter, you're absolutely right. Children do need boundaries and they need to know what's going to happen when they cross those boundaries. I'm not telling anyone how they should discipline their kids, as long as they don't resort to beating, whipping, or punching. My kids know that consequences are definitely coming for bad behavior when I start counting to 3 and they haven't stopped misbehaving. I don't slap or spank my kids because I get the results I want from rewarding good behavior and consistently enforcing consequences for bad behavior. Every parent should do what works best with their kids.
Dear Americans, we dont tell you to change your gun laws, dont tell us how to raise our kids. Alisaann, hitting is very different to slapping. Slapping has never broken a kids arm or leg. Cop on woman.
you should NEVER hit on the legs....you chould BREAK a child's leg or even a arm. alisa
there is NEVER a good enough reason imo, to slap or HIT your child....hand are LOVE, NOT FOR HITTING.....if you slap out of anger...you could seriously injure the child. alisa
Children especially from the age of two to seven react very well to the odd smack across the legs.All the explaining in the world will not get through to a willful three year old mind that some things are much too dangerous for them to do.It's natural for a child to push the boundaries.It's a parents job to show them the boundaries one way or the other but always within reason.Whatever works best and gets the desired result.Children love boundaries and a child without boundaries is the most miserable child you will ever see.The odd few good well timed smacks up to the age of seven or even to the age of ten and you will never have to lay a finger on your child again.That is if you are skilled enough at doing the job.Of course some weak willed parents want to be their children's friend and treat them almost as equals.Children don't want equality.These parents need an even harder smack.Children want parents,both parents,not parent friends.Children make their own friends.
Irish Children who are violently abused by thrashy dysfunctional so-called Parents, consider themselves lucky they are not getting the type of treatment all the other kids are getting!!
yes and most of the priests think it's fine to rape kids, are you surprised?
My Irish grammy said "a good smack" delivered on your bum, is going to make you think twice about doing what ye were doing when ye got it" I'm a teacher & a therapist & there is a big difference between a "smack on the bum" & a beating. I'm okay with a "smack" by a parent as a consequence for unacceptable behavior. "Choose the behavior, you choose the consequence!" Hopefully this will not be taken out of context because I am a parent as well & have "smacked" my children.
When I lived in Dublin in the 60s and 70s I rarely saw a man hit a child. In fact I cannot recall seeing it happen outside of school. At school it happened all too often, but it was done by the not so holy brothers, not the lay men teachers... I am sure it went on behind closed doors in some families but I never saw it in all the years I lived there.
On the other side of the coin, I often saw a mother or older sister give a child, boy or girl, a smack on the leg for whatever reason and I know that mothers were often known as the one to give out stiffer physical punishment at home. Many an Irish child can attest to a fear of the wooden spoon.
This divides my family to this day. My wife, mother and sister insisting that a "smack" is harmless and my father, brother, son and I disagreeing.
I find this dichotomy intriguing if a bit disturbing. Have others noticed this and what may account for it?
Hitting and spanking are two different brands of cereal. The Irish believe in original sin and the lower nature of the human soul. The modern psychological trash states with Freud that man is basically good and the Gospel according to Sigmund believes in the "hug a thug" mentality.
Interesting. My father from Ireland was horrified to see a parent hit a child. I do not know how they did it, but I saw many families from Irelald, including my own, where the children were never hit and the parents got complete respect from the kids, even in the teen years.
How many times did I get spanked on the leg for not doing what I was supposed to or for talking back to my mother. Wasn't spanked hard on the leg but I knew it and never did it again. What is the big deal? How does one handle kids who sass back to parent/parents? We grew up with no ill effects.

NOT many grain farmers can claim almost 70 years of header driving.
Beulah's Ian Moore began driving tractors and harvesters when he was 10 years old.
Just seven months shy of becoming an octogenarian, the sprightly veteran was called upon this year to help his grandson, Brad Moore, out of a tight spot.
When The Weekly Times ran into him last week, Ian was harvesting a paddock in circumstances that mirrored a situation 66 years ago.
Back then, Ian's father suffered a bout of pneumonia on the eve of harvesting.
Ian, who was just 13 years, was required to drive the header while his father recovered in hospital.
"We had a farm worker and he and I took six weeks to take the crop off," he said.
"And as soon as we finished, it was back to school."
This year, Ian was asked to pitch in at harvest when his son John - Brad's father - became ill.
Ian has seen a lot of changes during that time.
In 1946, he was driving a LA Case tractor pulling a Sunshine McKay No.2 harvester.
"There was no airconditioning in those days," he said.
"You just sat on the tractor in your shorts and no shirt."

I'd definitely recommend this hotel for someone on a budget. They accomodated our 12-member group pretty well. Our only problem was the hotel not immediately having our requested room, a handicap acessible one, ready when we arrived, which was about 10:30 p.m.
They obliged the request when we arrived promptly, though. I wasn't at the hotel enough to take advantage of the services, but the facilities were quite comfortably. For a 3-star hotel, the rooms were quite room, and the bathroom proved nicer than most.
The hotel had an outdoor-pool, an excercise facility, cable or satellite TV, and wireless internet access. Irons and ironing boards are also available.
The basic double room allows up to 5 people!
Unique Quality: We are still attempting to figure out the type of religious assembly that is located across the street from the hotel. The hotel did have a stocked ice cream freezer if that counts, along with typical soda machines and snack machines.
Directions: Lee Blvd. is a bit outside downtown, I'd say about 10 miles, but with navigation around the parks, the time FLIES.

It's a good thing help is just around the corner. Greeley's rental market area has become the tightest in the state, according to numbers released Thursday by the state Division of Housing. The Greeley market's vacancy rate for the first three months of the year sank to 1.4 percent — from 5.8 percent at the same time the year before — reversing a trend that had for years kept Fort Collins' market one of the tightest in the states, the state survey reported. New rentals having been constructed in recent months put Fort Collins at a rate of 5.5 percent, …

Weather warning: Please note
For many, the Les Paul is a collectors item, and with Les Paul Standard models from 1959 commanding as much as $500,000 USD on the used market - it is a serious hobby! The Gibson Collectors Choice series aims to replicate some of the most pristine examples of the world's most highly-sought-after guitars. Gibson luthiers and historians carefully gather information about collectors' pieces and pick the best to analyse and remodel with the greatest precision humanly possible.
The Collectors Choice #2 is a 1959 Les Paul Standard. With so few available in 1959, it has become a sought after piece commanding a vast sum. The Collectors Choice number 2 is modelled upon "Goldie", the Les Paul with serial number 9-0629. Gibson picked this guitar because it is a particularly good example of everything that was exceptional about a 1959 Les Paul Standard. It also has a fully documented history which includes no major damage nor repairs. This replica of "Goldie" is faithful in every detail from the quality and consistency of the woods used down to the Aged Green Lemon finish, the natural aging and the mismatched characteristics of the humbucker pickups.
For most people, owning an original 1959 Les Paul Standard was once a distant dream. Even those with the cash would be hard pressed to find anybody selling such a delectable instrument. With the Gibson Collectors choice #2 R9, owning a guitar of the same standard and vintage as a 1959 Les Paul is finally a realistic prospect.
Gibson have limited the run of Collectors Choice #2 guitars to just 300 maximum, and there's no guarantee that all of these will get produced. Andertons have provisionally secured just two of the Collectors Choice "Goldie" reissue Les Pauls. If you are interested, we highly recommend that you call us to register your interest as soon as possible. We are able to offer 24 months interest free finance on this guitar.
Launched in the spring of 2010, Gibson Custom's Collector's Choice '59 Les Paul series focuses on meticulous recreations of rare and specific existing examples from the extremely short run of Les Paul Standards produced in 1959.
The second model produced in this series, serial number 9-0629 (aka "Goldie") is an instrument that presents several of the most desirable aspects of these highly sought-after electric guitars. Crafted with close analysis of the original by Gibson Custom, including digital scanning and measurement from every conceivable perspective, "Goldie" totally embodies the spirit of the Collector's Choice series by recreating this original individual '59 Les Paul in as near-to-perfect detail as is humanly possible. As such, the instrument presents a rare opportunity for players and collectors alike: a precise reincarnation of the look, tone, and feel of one of the world's most elusive electric guitars. "Goldie" will be reproduced in strictly limited numbers, with all guitars sent to world-renowned guitar-aging artist Tom Murphy for hand aging.
"Goldie" is an exciting opportunity not only because it is such a gorgeous Les Paul, but also because its ownership is extremely well documented, with only the first few years of its existence after heading from Gibson's Kalamazoo factory to its first owner near Deer Park, Texas, remaining slightly hazy. Having resurfaced in the early 80's at one of the first Dallas guitar shows, "Goldie" has graced the collections of several noted burst aficionados including Vic Da Pra and Tom Wittrock, the guitar is currently in the care of an anonymous collector and on loan to Gibson Custom. The guitar has also been extremely well cared for in its 52 years on this planet, suffering some of the minor nicks and dings that all well-played instruments experience in half a century of use-all precisely recreated by Tom Murphy's hand aging-but no breaks, repairs, or modifications. Also, this '59 Les Paul Standard's finish has naturally mellowed to a sweet, rich, golden "unburst," a luscious deep "green lemon" amber tone at the center with just a hint of darkening around the edges, giving it a look that many collectors adore. To precisely recreate the appearance of the original in the top of Collector's Choice #2 9-0629 aka "Goldie" Gibson Custom has hand selected figured maple with a broad, elegant flame and "slip matched" the two pieces to present the same degrees of depth and dimension. Hand-finished in nitrocellulose lacquer and hand aged, this top is partnered by a light one-piece mahogany back which has faded to match the original's soft, mellow reddish-brown.
The playing feel of Collector's Choice #2 9-0629 aka "Goldie" is ensured by a precise analysis of the neck profile of the original 1959 Les Paul Standard upon which it is based, and its perfect recreation in the one-piece quarter-sawn mahogany neck of this Custom Shop creation. The result is a gorgeously rounded late-'50s profile that measures approximately .900" at the 1st fret and .990" at the 12th. The rosewood fingerboard is bound in vintage-accurate and aged plastic, as is the body top, and a genuine nylon 6/6 nut and vintage-style tuners with single-band green keys grace the headstock. To recreate the tone of this rare Les Paul, Gibson Custom has selected a Burstbucker 1 for the bridge position and Burstbucker 3 for the neck, a pairing that accurately reflects the mismatch in output that was often found in original PAF sets. Together, they present a woody, throaty tone from the neck, and impressive chime and clarity from the bridge. All in all, Collector's Choice #2 9-0629 aka "Goldie" is a total delight in sound, feel, and appearance, and the closest many players and collectors are ever likely to get to owning an actual 52-year-old 1959 Les Paul Standard.
Each of a strictly limited number of examples will include a Custom Shop hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity, and Gibson Custom's Limited Lifetime Warranty and 24/7/365 Customer Service.

Letters: Gun control and recall election
Take a vacation
I do believe that Gilbert "Bo" Ortiz should recuse himself from having anything to do with this recall election. It is obvious he is too close of a friend to Sen. Angela Giron. For this election to be done without it appearing that everything is not on the up and up. So, I say go on vacation and let someone else count the votes.
William Bailey Pueblo
Money, money
If Sens. Angela Giron and John Morse are so confident about the recall, they sure are spending a lot of money on advertising to let us know what they did right in office. Maybe the 27 or 30 years, whichever ad you want to believe, Giron worked at the Boys and Girls Club is enough to make her a senator? And Morse being a policeman is enough for him, too.
Don Dever Pueblo
Butt out
Residents of Pueblo do not need the mayor of New York City dictating how we conduct our affairs. I'm planning to vote for the recall of Sen. Angela Giron, if for no other reason than to put a very small mote into a very large and sanctimonious eye.
Steve Mitchell Pueblo
Morality problem
We don't have a gun problem we have a morality problem.
As you know, the president has gone out campaigning against guns and the Second Amendment. He is still in campaign mode. He has gone all over this nation speaking against gun violence, hiding behind victims of school shootings and like scenarios.
As conservatives and believers in the Constitution, I believe we must do a little campaigning of our own. I believe if we could unify with the NRA and make this our message: "We do not have a gun problem — we have a morality problem."
You see, we can't have liberty without morality.
If you give immoral people liberty, they will self-destruct.
What is morality?
The answer is in knowing right from wrong. Example: If you give a moral man money he will use it for good, to feed his family, to help the poor. If you give money to an immoral man, he will do evil like buying drugs, porn, alcohol and such.
If you give a moral man a computer, he will educate himself. If you give an immoral man a computer, he will go looking for child pornography and such.
If you give a moral man a gun, he will defend himself, his family and his country. If you give an immoral man a gun, he will rob and kill the innocent.
We don't have a gun problem. We have a morality problem. America used to get its moral values from a book called the Bible. When you take the word of God out of the country, government, schools and the family, you end up with an immoral society and chaos.
The conservative movement and the NRA must make this their message: "We have a morality problem, not a gun problem."
We must simplify our message on TV and in the media before the freedom of speech is taken from us also.
Humberto Cortez
No compromise
Angela, I am a Democrat, voted straight Democrat at every election. But when it comes to gun rights and the Second Amendment, there is no room for compromise.
Our forefathers put this in for a reason and it was not about hunting.
No elected person should even touch this subject, or if they do, face the music. Every time something about gun rights or ownership of guns gets approved, it is turning a screw in … and before long, we, the people are screwed.
Leroy Garcia did not follow your lead; his seat is safe. I am sorry for Colorado Democrats who voted for this legislation from the governor down because the people will not re-elect them. We have had too many one-term wonders lately.
You send out all this stuff if someone else gets elected what will happen to us? It never crossed your mind what your vote would cost?
You have even accepted money from out of state. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Douglas Sparks
Defend rights
I visited your fine city a couple of months ago and was impressed. Normally, I hang out in Colorado Springs, but am viewing retirement options. You have a lovely city.
That is not why I am writing. A pal monitors the left-wing media as a hobby and he received a hysterical rant from the loonies at the Daily Kos, one of my bete noirs of the progressive side of what passes for politics in these trying times.
They start out their call for a petition against your First Amendment rights like this: "By recalling two Democratic state senators in Colorado, the NRA is trying to create a wave of fear nationwide that will intimidate any state legislators who dare stand up to them.
"And the NRA has a key ally in their fight: A local newspaper in Colorado called The Pueblo Chieftain …"
There is more, of course, but I find your defense of the First and Second Amendments to the Constitution to be commendable, and just wanted you to know how many of us feel outside of Colorado.

Fair and balanced?
Steve Henson's discussion of George Rivera's position on women's rights is especially troubling.
He states that Mr. Rivera's "position would be detrimental to women's rights," but goes on to state that we shouldn't really worry about that since his stand is not important. Mr. Henson states that the courts decide these issues and one state legislator does not have much say.
I am positive that Mr. Henson, as the managing editor of a newspaper, is aware that Republican-controlled legislatures all over the United States have passed legislation that is so restrictive of a woman's right to choose that Roe vs. Wade is almost irrelevant.
How are they able to gain a majority of seats and pass such laws? By voting in one legislator at a time. Mr. Rivera's position on issues does matter. He is not a blank slate. He will vote on issues we care about and his votes will count.
Voters deserve an unbiased presentation of the positions and issues at stake in this election.
Mr. Henson maintains that The Pueblo Chieftain is committed to fair and balanced coverage, but goes on to state, "I predict this will become much more difficult in the days ahead."
Janet Martinez
Before his retirement, George Rivera was conducting a session for a group of citizens I was among exploring volunteer opportunities with the police department.
I tend to feel a favorable proclivity and respect toward police. A family member is in law enforcement. I have attended the citizens police academy. So initially, I was impressed with the distinguished-looking captain as he began the session.
That impression of respect changed as the meeting proceeded. He appeared inflexible and grumpy. He expressed an unpleasant my-way-or-the-highway approach throughout the session whenever a participant asked a legitimate question, expressed a concern or asked for clarification. Our opinions were not tolerated.
It seems to me that if a person is angry because he feels his wishes as a constituent weren't heeded and therefore votes for George Rivera, the voters will be let down.
Those who think George Rivera would be a responsive senator likely would be very disappointed.
Carolyn Herzberger
Poll a 'scam'
The headline in a recent Chieftain article, "Some Coloradans oppose recall election," is about a scam.
My wife took a call from that outfit and when she told them that she would vote to recall Angela Giron, they went into a long dissertation of the things that Angela had done and then asked her if she still would vote to recall her.
She hung up, but the phone rang again and I answered it. They asked to speak to my wife and I told them that she did not want to talk to them and would they like to talk to me.
They said yes, that it was a poll and would take a few minutes. I was on the phone for at least 10 minutes, because every time I told them that I would definitely vote to recall Angela Giron, they would give me a speech about all the good things she had done and why would I feel the need to recall her.
They then asked me about my race and I told them I usually ran the 100-yard dash when I was younger. They explained that I must select one of their choices. I told them that I was mixed and couldn't decide.
They asked if I spoke Spanish and I told them "a little bit." They then asked about my ethnicity. I told them "American." Again, that was unacceptable so they gave me some choices.
I told them I couldn't decide. They then asked how many guns I owned. I told them "it was none of their business." They then proceeded to tell me how bad George Rivera is and would I vote for him. Again I told them, "none of their business."
This conversation went on for about 10 minutes, so you get the idea. When they finally hung up, I called the number back. I got a message that said "The number you have dialed is not in service."
If it is not bad enough that Angela wants to change the Second Amendment and she thinks everyone should vote whether they are a citizen or not or whether they live in the district or not, then this scam poll, which is really a political ad, should convince you to recall Angela.
Jack Chick
As one follows the stories in The Pueblo Chieftain about the recall, it is obvious that politicians in this country have become deeply wrought with the lack of ethic and moral compass. And, here comes foreigner Bloomberg to seek to invest himself into Colorado politics. To ascribe to us the way that a billionaire sees how everyone should live.
Our politicians in general have become ethically and morally bankrupt and it seems Ms. Giron may have taken the turn.
When politicians are elected, one would assume that they would be responsive to the interests of their constituencies and not their private visions of the world according to (themselves). Now, Colorado politicians are following the road of Washington politicians. These men and women no longer represent our interests but those of the wealthy and the power brokers to whom they subscribe their obedience with deception.
Watching the Giron and Morse campaign in El Paso County, one must begin to ponder what lies ahead, when facts and truth have been stretched to the breaking point. Is this still a democracy and who works for whom, becomes the question. Where has the difference in party gone, the stand for ideology no longer clear and riddled by questionable action. As a libertarian, one believes that what I believe is sacred to me and promised to me by our Constitution, and should not be abridged by someone in the fervent passion the moment. Action taken of blinding fear, distrust and misunderstanding; so blinded not by reason nor sanity but by fear spoken by someone in their sanctimonious lies.
When she states that she was cast stone upon for whom, she was as an ethnicity, she has missspoke so alarmingly, for none thought of that but her.
Our Constitution is the one given truth that we have inherited from proud, wise forefathers who caste for us a path to follow.
And, here we stand today as Americans losing common sense and moral ground in our dealings amongst ourselves and the World we live in. Financially speaking, the recall may have a financial cost, however, standing still has a far greater cost to who we are and what we stand for.
Not alone the question of gun ownership but the very fabric that makes us a free society that seems to be losing ground in the war against privacy and the right of men and women to have free choice.
Vote for recall is the best possible remedy.
Charles Bonomelli
Former Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar came riding into town, recently, to warn us that the "different forces" were coming to our town. Interesting and I'm sure well thought out choice of words
I thought, one might ask, who are these people and what do they want? My thought is that the "force" backed by big money and advocating extremist ideology, are members of anti-Obama and anti-Democrat fringe who are in step with the NRA lobbyists. Freedom Works and the Tea Party chapters in the state who have infiltrated their members into local politics and are attempting to disrupt our political process by suppressing minority voting, backing a reactionary Hispanic candidate, attacking elected officials who vote contrary their extremist views as well as polarize and disrespect our voting community, who backed those same representatives.
Gun safety measures or "gun control" and Second Amendment scare tactics are just that, tactics, and don't even begin to cover the true agenda who the racist radical right actually prescribe to. Although Mr. Head and his group claim no political affiliation of motive, his cause will indirectly have strong political ramifications for Dems and Republicans alike as they will be unjustifiably recalled for simply legislating on their constituents' behalf. You can't say you have no motive and still harbor an ideology. But fear fuel is what the fringe bus rolls on.
In a country that supposedly prides itself as the beacon of "democracy and freedom" as well as respecting the electoral processes, these scare tactics beg the question. Why, when our representatives, who have been rightfully and duly elected, not able to exercise the responsibility we entrusted in them.
Obama has been filibustered by Congress twice as much as any president in modern history. It would be way too simplistic to believe that gun legislation is the only issue that prompted a recall on two very popular and well-respected lawmakers in Southern Colorado. The "different forces" that Mr. Salazar eludes to have done a masterful job of creating a nasty and hateful discourse over the gun issue and have polarized this community like it's never been polarized before. But it wasn't their mission all along. I think there is a bigger agenda stirring to the pot.
We as Puebloans need to decide if we want to be in the broth or take back the pot. Stand up for your vote, say "no" to a frivolous and misleading recall, a recall that most Coloradans oppose anyway.
Sil Arteaga
Marching orders
We are being inundated with commercials that are projecting Senators Giron and Morse as some kind of heroes for Coloradans.
They surround themselves by women and children and the narrators of the commercials project them as caring and loving people, crying to do right for the helpless, infirm and downtrodden.
Give me a break. They don't care one iota about anything except promoting an agenda put forth by the Democrats who are in power in Washington, D.C. If they really cared about Coloradans, they would have listened to their constituents and not put themselves above their constituents to promote their own ambitions for furthering their careers with complying to what the D.C. powers want versus what the common sense of Coloradans wanted.
Those who are for Senators Giron and Morse will get what they want, a couple of career politicians who don't really care about the people of the state of Colorado or their rights. They'll get senators who take their marching orders from the Democratic Party of Washington, D.C.
I'm a Coloradan who believes that the state of Colorado is sovereign. What works for us isn't necessarily what works for the federal government. All states are sovereign, and the federal government is there to promote what works for the states, not there to dictate to the states.
When our state senators look to the federal government for guidance instead of their constituency, then they are no longer fit to represent the state. This is why I say that the recall is just, and our state would be better served if we had representation that actually represented us instead of senators who push agendas that further a federal position that doesn't represent Colorado.

Face off
My First Amendment rights have been violated! On Aug. 31, I went to my Facebook account and was told that my password had changed (I did not change it). When I did manage to change it again, I was directed to a page stating the following:
"We removed something you posted. We removed this from Facebook because it violates our community standards: 'Angela Giron is a friend of mine. She doesn't deserve this.' "
I posted this comment with an article about the recall election. I was told that I could not gain access to my account for 12 hours. As I write this, almost 48 hours after that discovery, I am still locked out of my account over the kind words I posted in support of a friend.
I contacted the Democratic headquarters and they said they have reports that pro-recall people are trolling for supportive comments about Angela and reporting them as violations.
Reasonable gun owners I've spoken with say the Colorado bill doesn't affect their Second Amendment rights. Unreasonable people seek to deny First Amendment rights of those who do not agree with them.
I have to wonder: If the recall supporters are so concerned about respecting, protecting and upholding the Bill of Rights, as they publicly claim to be, why are they privately trying so hard to deny me my right of free speech?

More delays
The Pueblo Chieftain has confirmed that Richard Anglund did not collect enough signatures to get on the ballot for the recall election.
It also reported that he "declined to say how many signatures he was able to collect."
The voters of Pueblo need to know how many signatures were collected — not to embarrass Anglund for his failed attempt to run as a pro-gun Democrat — but to expose the real objectives and implications of his involvement.
It was clear from the start that Anglund had no intention of running against Angela Giron. He gathered no signatures at his church, community events or anywhere in Pueblo. The ballot will look exactly the same as before his lawsuit.
The only thing that Anglund's lawsuit accomplished was getting rid of mail-in ballots, disenfranchising thousands of voters and flushing about $80,000 down the toilet, raising the cost of an already-expensive election to nearly a half a million dollars.
This is an obvious ploy by the right-wing to prevent people from voting.
Talk about "too extreme for Colorado."
Support our senator. Vote no on Sept. 10.
Carolyn Jones
Thanks, guys
I would like to say thank you to Victor and Adam Head for the honest clarity they provided Sept. 1 (Accountability is the key issue).
They are the epitome of a grass-roots effort. They have worked long and hard, and many patriots within District 3 agree with them.
This recall truly is about accountability. It is about freedom of choice. It is about citizens exercising their constitutional rights as a free people.
I'm very glad they quoted the state Constitution in their article. They have actually read the thing, and now so have many of us.
Do you truly believe that Mayor Bloomberg from New York City gives a damn about what goes on in District 3, Colorado?
Those of us who truly care are those of us who live, work, and die here.
The bleeding-heart liberals care about power, money and "counting coup."
The world has its eye on what is going on here. I hope the good citizens of District 3 send a message heard 'round the world that freedom can be lost one inch at a time, and we are not in the mood to give our freedoms of choice the boot right now.

Enforce the laws
I applaud Sheriff Kirk Taylor and the other eight sheriffs in Colorado who declined to join the 55 sheriffs who publicly stated they would not enforce the recent gun laws passed by the state Legislature.
All 64 sheriffs were legally elected and swore to an oath of office to enforce all laws of the state of Colorado. That would include all old and new laws passed by the state.
If our law enforcement officers decide what laws they will or will not enforce, they should resign and the citizens should elect a person to the sheriff's office who will honor the oath of office.
George Ree
Costly election
I've read many letters on the subject of recalling senators from Pueblo and Colorado Springs.
They are accused of taking money from outside interest groups.
Well, the NRA is an outside interest group, and it is fully supporting the recall — a recall that ultimately will cost the taxpayers in Pueblo.
How about you go ahead with the sensible gun laws, and if you don't like it, you can vote next election.
How about you find out what facts are true, and which aren't?

Secret Weapons (1972, David Cronenberg)
In the hearts of cinema lovers everywhere, David Cronenberg hold a special place, particularly his early period. From the late 60s to the early 80s, we are rewarded with what many (including myself) view as the quintessential Cronenberg. From his early experimental short films such as 'Stereo' and 'Crimes of the Future' to his commercially viable creep fests like 'Rabid', 'Scanners' and 'Videodrome', Cronenberg has never failed to infuse his films (no matter how trashy) with genuine intelligence and multi-facetted dread. Cronenberg's quintessential horror, although certainly visceral and often gory, was the horror of the body. Cronenberg was more interested in the pernicious activities lurking within the fortean walls of monolithic corporations than the psycho lurking with a knife in the bushes. It has always been my contention that Cronenberg's early films represent true horror.
In the 70s, Cronenberg directed a number of seldom-seen, made-for-TV shorts. This was before he'd blow audiences away with the genuinely unnerving, 'Shivers' in 1975. With the interesting but meandering shorts, 'Stereo' and 'Crimes of the Future' under his belt, he certainly must have seemed like an odd proposition. While both of these films contained wonderful, distinctly Cronenbergian ideas, they betrayed their student origins, lacking dynamics and toying with pretention like only a student film can. For those who haven't had the opportunity to see these two early films, I'd direct you toward the very generous 2-disc 'Fast Company' set, which offers them both as a bonus. The 'Fast Company' set is a treat for Cronenberg completists and highly recommended.
In 1972, as part of a 'Programme X' TV series, Cronenberg directed a short film called 'Secret Weapons', which he has, for one reason or another, referred to evermore as his 'suppressed' film. I can find no information as to exactly how this was suppressed. It seems more logical to me that the film wasn't a success and canned by the TV studio, but if you have any information, please feel free to comment. 'Secret Weapons' represents a few milestones for Cronenberg. For one, it was his first to include synced sound, but it was also the first real indicator that Cronenberg was capable of corralling his ingenious ideas into narrative form. To this day it remains perhaps his most seldom seen film and it's safe to say that too few people are aware of its existence to truly consider it 'sought after'.
'Secret Weapons' was written by Norman Snider, who Cronenberg would, over a decade later, collaborate with when writing his masterpiece, 'Dead Ringers'. It concerns a depiction of America 6 years in the future that has plunged into civil war. From this dystopian base, a man has invented a drug that purports to increase fighting ability among those who take it. The decision must now be made as to whether the drug should be handed over to the oppressive government regime or to the rebels. As you can see, several of Cronenberg's thematic staples are present here. We have a mysterious drug that alters the makeup of the body and then we have the shady organisation whose intentions are not to be trusted. But perhaps, more than anything else, we have that distinct, impossibly uncomfortable vibe that Cronenberg so effortlessly created with his early films. It's hard to pin down exactly how this vibe is achieved. The mis-en-scene is infused with negative space, which adds to the sense of isolation. This has the unusual effect of momentarily removing Cronenberg's film outside of the existing cinematic canon and into a sterilised realm of its own. It's distinctly uncomfortable, yet hypnotic in execution. The characters speak without much emotion, further distancing you from them and the film in general.
'Secret Weapons' is of importance because it represents the first Cronenberg film that truly works outside of the intellectual undercurrents of its subject matter. It was an important bridge between his interesting, but ultimately failed early film experiments, and the powerful commercially viability of what followed. Cronenberg, even in his most commercial fare, hasn't had to compromise as much as many of his peers, but the ways in which he did learn to compromise became an extension of his art. It was a compromise that served the importance of his message rather than detracting from it.
'Secret Weapons' is a film that should be seen but is, as yet, unavailable in any commercial form. Not so long ago, it emerged in its entirety on http://www.indiemoviesonline.com, which was a boon to many, but not available to all. To this day, if you reside outside of America, UK or Australia, you are unable to stream the film. This means that those in Cronenberg's homecountry of Canada are still unable to watch an early curio by one of their greatest exports. This infuriates me. For this reason, I've decided to upload to full film to YouTube so that (unless it gets taken down) it will be accessible to all. Please enjoy David Cronenberg's 'Secret Weapons'.

City exempts 'Occupy' protests from ban through December
EUGENE, Ore. -- Occupy Eugene protesters at Alton Baker Park will be allowed to camp at the municipal park until Dec. 15, according to a City Council vote Monday.
The 5 to 3 ruling gives the Occupy demonstrators an exemption to the city's ban on camping in city parks.
The demonstrators moved to Alton Baker Park Friday after spending a week in downtown Eugene.
According to city officials, the exemption means the protesters can remain at Alton Baker Park until Dec. 15 as long as the encampment does not pose any public health or safety concerns.
If the demonstrators want to move to another city park before mid-December, they must seek approval from the city.
The council may also vote to extend the exemption when the current exemption is exhausted.
The vote came late Monday night after more than 20 exemption supporters and opponents spoke at the public hearing.
The Occupy Eugene protest began in mid-October after similar demonstrations in Portland, New York, and Seattle called for an end to "corporate greed."
The Occupy Wall Street protests have swept the nation and are now also present in Oregon cities such as Corvallis and Creswell.

SummaryPolo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) is a key regulator of cell division in eukaryotic cells. New techniques, including the application of small-molecule inhibitors, have greatly expanded our knowledge of the functions, targets, and regulation of this key mitotic enzyme. In this review, we focus on how Plk1 is recruited to centrosomes, kinetochores, and the spindle midzone and what the specific tasks of Plk1 at these distinct subcellular structures might be. In particular, we highlight new work on the role of Plk1 in cytokinesis in human cells. Finally, we describe how better understanding of Plk1 functions allows critical evaluation of Plk1 as a potential drug target for cancer therapy.

Regulation of Sister Chromatid Cohesion between Chromosome Arms

SummarySister chromatid separation in anaphase depends on the removal of cohesin complexes from chromosomes [[1]]. In vertebrates, the bulk of cohesin is already removed from chromosome arms during prophase and prometaphase [[2, 3]], whereas cohesin remains at centromeres until metaphase, when cohesin is cleaved by the protease separase [[3, 4]]. In unperturbed mitoses, arm cohesion nevertheless persists throughout metaphase and is principally sufficient to maintain sister chromatid cohesion [[5]]. How arm cohesion is maintained until metaphase is unknown. Here we show that small amounts of cohesin can be detected in the interchromatid region of metaphase chromosome arms. If prometaphase is prolonged by treatment of cells with microtubule poisons, these cohesin complexes dissociate from chromosome arms, and arm cohesion is dissolved. If cohesin dissociation in prometaphase-arrested cells is prevented by depletion of Plk1 or inhibition of Aurora B, arm cohesion is maintained. These observations imply that, in unperturbed mitoses, small amounts of cohesin maintain arm cohesion until metaphase. When cells lacking Plk1 and Aurora B activity enter anaphase, chromatids lose cohesin. This loss is prevented by proteasome inhibitors, implying that it depends on separase activation. Separase may therefore be able to cleave cohesin at centromeres and on chromosome arms.

The Small-Molecule Inhibitor BI 2536 Reveals Novel Insights into Mitotic Roles of Polo-like Kinase 1
Current Biology, Volume 17, Issue 4, 20 February 2007, Pages 304-315
Péter Lénárt, Mark Petronczki, Martin Steegmaier, Barbara Di Fiore, Jesse J. Lipp, Matthias Hoffmann, Wolfgang J. Rettig, Norbert Kraut and Jan-Michael Peters
The mitotic kinases, Cdk1, Aurora A/B, and Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) have been characterized extensively to further understanding of mitotic mechanisms and as potential targets for cancer therapy. Cdk1 and Aurora kinase studies have been facilitated by small-molecule inhibitors, but few if any potent Plk1 inhibitors have been identified.
We describe the cellular effects of a novel compound, BI 2536, a potent and selective inhibitor of Plk1. The fact that BI 2536 blocks Plk1 activity fully and instantaneously enabled us to study controversial and unknown functions of Plk1. Cells treated with BI 2536 are delayed in prophase but eventually import Cdk1-cyclin B into the nucleus, enter prometaphase, and degrade cyclin A, although BI 2536 prevents degradation of the APC/C inhibitor Emi1. BI 2536-treated cells lack prophase microtubule asters and thus polymerize mitotic microtubules only after nuclear-envelope breakdown and form monopolar spindles that do not stably attach to kinetochores. Mad2 accumulates at kinetochores, and cells arrest with an activated spindle-assembly checkpoint. BI 2536 prevents Plk1's enrichment at kinetochores and centrosomes, and when added to metaphase cells, it induces detachment of microtubules from kinetochores and leads to spindle collapse.
Our results suggest that Plk1's accumulation at centrosomes and kinetochores depends on its own activity and that this activity is required for maintaining centrosome and kinetochore function. Our data also show that Plk1 is not required for prophase entry, but delays transition to prometaphase, and that Emi1 destruction in prometaphase is not essential for APC/C-mediated cyclin A degradation.

- The separation of sister chromatids in anaphase depends on the dissociation of cohesin from chromosomes. In vertebrates, some cohesin is removed from chromosomes at the onset of anaphase by proteolytic cleavage. In contrast, the bulk of cohesin is removed from chromosomes already in prophase and prometaphase by an unknown mechanism that does not involve cohesin cleavage. We show that Polo-like kinase is required for the cleavage-independent dissociation of cohesin from chromosomes in Xenopus. Cohesin phosphorylation depends on Polo-like kinase and reduces the ability of cohesin to bind to chromatin. These results suggest that Polo-like kinase regulates the dissociation of cohesin from chromosomes early in mitosis.

Dr. Konstantin Frank Riesling Dry 2012
Dr. Konstantin Frank
- New York
- United States
- Finger Lakes
Although they originated in Germany's beautiful Rhine Valley, the Riesling grape soon spread around the world, where it thrives in many countries with a colder climate which can support this pale and unique grapes. Riesling grapes are considered one of the finest varietals on earth, capable of expressing fascinating features of the soil type they are grown on, resulting in some highly interesting wines with plenty to offer those who are looking for something different. Riesling grapes are also noted for their aromas, which tend to be highly perfumed, floral and often with smoky notes accentuating their unusual flavor Because this was always the predominant grape grown in Germany and other such countries, Riesling wineries have always been keen to experiment with its range. This has resulted in dry white wines, sparkling wines, semi sweet wines and several others, but the finest examples are usually considered to be the Riesling dessert wines. These are occasionally made with unusual processes, including the 'eiswine' method, in which the grapes are allowed to freeze in the early frosts, or by allowing the development of 'noble rot', which withers the grapes and results in some truly spectacular and unusual flavors.
New York state has a wine history which stretches back to the mid-17th century, when Dutch settlers first began cultivating grape vines in the Hudson Valley. Since then, the wine industry of New York has grown from strength to strength, mixing the old with the new as wineries continue to experiment with modern techniques alongside their traditional heritage. Indeed, certain wineries in New York state hold a claim to being amongst the oldest and most well established in the New World, with at least one dating back over three hundred and fifty years. New York state is responsible for a relatively small range of grape varietals, due to its cooler, damper climate, but many varietals such as Riesling and Seyval Blanc thrive in such conditions and produce wines a of singular quality.
For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosé wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.
